Welcome back to the A-List podcast with Allison and Alex. I'm Allison.
Speaker 2:I'm Alex and I'm wearing a stupid Apple watch.
Speaker 1:Oh my goodness, he's on his fitness game right now and he's so mad that he has to wear an Apple watch.
Speaker 2:I hate this so much. I think watches are an unattractive accessory and I laugh at people that buy expensive watches and think that they look good Sorry.
Speaker 1:You mean any like a rolly?
Speaker 2:Any watch, don't care. That is why, when I was dating that guy in the first of the year, and like he cared about Rolexes so much, and I was just looking at him wearing them and being like you're ugly, so ugly.
Speaker 1:I don't feel that. I think that a watch looks nice on an arm with, you know, some nice muscular veins or like so sexy when they take it off and there's a tan line. Okay, I have a bad tan line and I don't love that about it, but I do like a stylish watch I unfortunately just have to wear this. I don't think the apple watch is particularly attractive, nor does it look good. Yeah, I don't think they're cute when it's a lot of colors happening. That does give.
Speaker 2:I'm not a fan.
Speaker 1:That it's like young. It looks young to me, but if it's, sleek and one thing, then I'm fine with it.
Speaker 2:If watches are your thing, cool. But just know that if you wear a watch around me, your attractiveness level does go down a little bit.
Speaker 1:But do you like the stats you're getting?
Speaker 2:yeah, the information makes this worth it. But every time I catch a glimpse I was telling allison I was taking some selfies and I was like, oh cute.
Speaker 1:And then I just all I see is an apple watch and I'm like I hate it so much and I think there's such an unattractive accessory I do know that you hate it, but I think that the people looking at the photo of you are not don't care about your watch, and they're looking at you being like oh, he's cute.
Speaker 2:You know what? I'd like to challenge this zone, this thing inside of me, and I'm going to seek out someone who is attractive with the watch on. I'm going to look for it. I'm gonna be like, oh, that girl or that man looks woman sorry, woman or man looks attractive wearing that watch. I'm going to actually like with the intention of finding that. I want to find that.
Speaker 1:I want that for you too, because it's a burden that I feel it's a hard.
Speaker 2:It's a hard one is unnecessary to.
Speaker 1:I want to be clear make your pool smaller.
Speaker 2:I don't think it makes someone ugly, I think it's an. I think it's an unattractive accessory, so when I'm like looking someone up and down, it does take points off to see a watch on a wrist. What's the most attractive accessory, a chain like this.
Speaker 1:A chain.
Speaker 2:I like when girls have stacks of rings and like loose bracelets.
Speaker 1:I like a lot of rings too, but only when my nails are done, like I tried to put on a bunch of rings the other day with my.
Speaker 2:I'm taking a break on acrylics right now, guys, in my head I pictured nails, so you're right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm taking a break from acrylics right now, and my fingernails are just bare bones, if you will. I don't even have any polish on them, because I just like want them to feel the oxygen and I tried to put on. I was going out somewhere and I tried to put on all my normal rings and I was like my fingers look so stuffy and stupid.
Speaker 2:You want to draw attention to them off, yeah but I think rings and bangle bracelets, bangles, bracelets on, maybe, but on dudes I like a chain I like a chain, but I tell you if, if they go like this and I see this, I'm like oh kind of, cancels out the chain.
Speaker 1:I like a man with an earring too.
Speaker 2:I kind of like I wear the accessories I like to see on other guys. I guess that's what it is.
Speaker 1:Be the light you wish to see in the world Facts. Well, I am sorry that that's a burden for you, because I truly do not think of it. Or I'm like, oh, I like that person's arm and that draws me to look at their arms, so I'm like it's fine, that's true and you know, a really nice watch.
Speaker 2:I don't know you know what I wouldn't know?
Speaker 1:the difference between a like watch from h&m versus a rolex. That's so sad and I'm sure if I got up close and there was diamonds in it, whatever, then maybe I'd be like okay, this is clearly an expensive watch, but it could be a watch from Macy's for all I care and like whatever, that's the point.
Speaker 2:Well, also, it just looks bad anyway. But I will say, like, speaking of the reason I have to wear this, my fitness journey. It's been two weeks.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I have gained 12 pounds Work, that is. If that doesn't tell you how little, I was eating.
Speaker 1:I mean, I lived with you.
Speaker 2:I also, though, have lost a quarter of an inch around my waist, so it's clearly coming in as muscle. Yeah, are you?
Speaker 1:when you weigh yourself, does your um scale have like other information, like lean body mass or whatever? Is that something you are supposed to?
Speaker 2:look at that? Oh like, like lean body mass or whatever. Is that something you are supposed to look at that?
Speaker 1:Oh like they don't, he doesn't want me for my mental.
Speaker 2:He doesn't want me to look at that, so I'm just weighing to get my weight. And then I have a body tape measure. I was showing you that I do all measurements of all my body parts. Yeah, all of them Every two weeks.
Speaker 1:Well, that's very good. And you said your was bigger last time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that has grown an inch and a half. That's kind of insane. An inch is kind of crazy, yeah, so I and so I take photos every two weeks, which I hate, oh, I have to tell you this. So every sunday, he sends me a video recapping my recap. So on sundays sorry, on sundays I have an extensive format to fill out every Sunday about my mental health, about what worked this week, what didn't, what did I like, about the workouts I was given, whatever extensive, and then he reviews it and records himself reviewing it, so that he can talk to me about each thing.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay. So, he'll go okay. Point one you said you didn't like eating this broccoli, and it really was gross to you. And so, in my opinion, let's kick the broccoli, let's eat something else that's green with some fiber.
Speaker 2:He'll adapt my plan, he'll give me some encouragement, he'll explain something. Whatever it is Right. So when he gets to the section, there's a section that's like do you feel like you see a difference in week one to week? Oh, I guess this is week three. One, one, two. You only take photos every two weeks. So, yeah, it's been. I took them at the beginning. Now it's been two weeks I took them again. Yeah, math, um. And there's a section that's like do you see the difference in your photos between the first week and now? And I said no because I was like I don't really see a difference. I can definitely feel it and like, I feel like when I look at myself in the mirror I can see it, but in the photos I don't see it reflected. Right, okay?
Speaker 1:so I did not know.
Speaker 2:First of, all I don't see reflected Right, okay, so I did not know. First of all, I don't want to be looking at myself like that.
Speaker 1:Oh no, I would take the picture and immediately send it.
Speaker 2:I have to like sit in silence for a minute afterward, because it's just very vulnerable.
Speaker 1:Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2:And he pulls them up and he had put them side by side. So the first week's front side and back.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And it was side and back, yeah, and was like circling to show me where there was a nightmare, but like. So, first of all, I'm sweating, yeah this is like I hate this so much, yeah. But, as he's pointing out, I was like, oh yeah, my body dysmorphia didn't even notice that. They're like, my posture is totally different. That like my back has you see muscles for the first time. I just was like, no, I don't want to look at this um well, that's cool.
Speaker 2:So the journey has been good and I just can't believe how much food I have to eat every day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's tough when you have to eat so much protein that well, here's what happened.
Speaker 2:So I use my fitness pal to track everything.
Speaker 1:Are you paying for it, cause they're kind of annoying now.
Speaker 2:I want to be able to like add in meals.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's annoying.
Speaker 2:That used to not be like that. It's annoying, but it is. It is good for me to like have visual comprehension when it comes to what I'm eating. Yeah, so something I I told him from the beginning I was like, look, the reason I always fail in these things is because people think that it's so easy to understand nutrition, and I'm sorry, it's not for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2:I can give you a comprehensive film budget and hire everyone needed and execute that shit flawlessly. But I cannot understand when you say oh, you've got 3% of protein left in your day to eat Finish. What do you mean?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Make the macros and micros and all that bullshit make sense to me. So hold my hand through this process of which he's doing. I told you his name's Alex, right, so it is funny to hear us both talk.
Speaker 1:But he's like British or something.
Speaker 2:He's British Alex. I didn't remember, but to hear us both talk, but he's like British or something. He's British and it's Alex. If you ever watch this and I hope you don't he has such a thick British accent that I have to be like one more time. Come again, mate.
Speaker 1:Not me. That's what he says so come again, mate, um anyway.
Speaker 2:so I was like this last week. He was like what was the biggest challenge? I was like I still not eating the calories that I need, like it is impossible for me to get. Every time I'm close I end up I box and then I have to make up for those calories. Whatever, do you still have the Soylent?
Speaker 1:So I was like wow, my nutritionist.
Speaker 2:I was like what about meal replacement shakes? Not as a replacement, but and if I'm not hitting it? He was like literally, do anything you need to. You need to be hitting your calorie count Like he's. It's the point where he's not being mean, but he's like this is the point.
Speaker 1:Figure it out.
Speaker 2:You need to get there.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I've given you. He's given me such a comprehensive meal plan that there is no reason I can't get there. It's just I'm like, but dude.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm stuffed. I'm stuffed, I feel like I'm huge and I'm going to throw up, and then I'm like a thousand more calories and I have four hours A thousand. I have four hours.
Speaker 1:If you don't mind me asking how many calories are you trying?
Speaker 2:to eat. I'm supposed to be consuming 2,600.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:But then with my workouts every day, I'm counting against that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's not like I feel like when you're trying to lose weight, you need trying to lose weight, you need to be in a deficit, yeah.
Speaker 1:And so when you work out, like if you use my fitness pal or another one, say your your um calories for the day are 1800, yeah, and you do a workout and you burn 400 calories, some people would see that as, oh, I have 400 calories to eat, which, like I guess, in theory would still put you at the 1800, but you really aren't supposed to do that. It's like that.
Speaker 2:If you're losing, trying to lose weight.
Speaker 1:So you're trying to gain weight and muscle and weight.
Speaker 2:So I have to meet that goal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's pretty terrible. So today at the gym.
Speaker 2:I burnt 888 calories doing my lifting, and so I come home like ready to make my lunch, and it's like you have 3000 calories to go and I was like I can't. So anyway, I was like but what was throwing me all week? The reason I also couldn't get there is because I'd opened my fitness pal and it would say you have 800 calories to go and like six grams of protein.
Speaker 1:But I was over on my fat and I was over on my carbs, and so I was like what am I supposed to do? What can I eat here?
Speaker 2:so so I explained that to him. He was like mate, mate, mate, mate. No, this is what I'm trying to tell you. Stop looking at that. All you have to do is get your protein and get your calories.
Speaker 1:Look at those worry about the protein, worry about the don't even look at the fat content.
Speaker 2:Don't look at anything else. I want you to hit your proteins. I want you to calories every night. Okay, I was like bet.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I can absolutely do that.
Speaker 1:Because then you can have your peanut butter. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2:And so then we talked about Soylent and he was like let me look into it. And he did, and he was like okay definitely not as a replacement, but you can do. I went to my bi-monthly trip to Walmart in Santa. Clarita after we went to that event on Sunday, and they carry Soylent, which has changed their name to Complete Protein.
Speaker 1:Oh T which is good. I wonder what happened.
Speaker 2:Because Soylent, what a terrible name to use. Based off the movie and the book.
Speaker 1:Do you think they got bought though?
Speaker 2:I don't know Well. So the boxes are new and they say Complete Protein. The bottle still says Soylent, so I think they're in the middle of a transition.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they've got to use them up.
Speaker 2:But they've added a ton more flavors and they've added two levels, so there's some that have 18 grams of protein and some that have 30. So I got the 30 grams of protein, cause it's usually that I'm needing to get.
Speaker 1:Do you think that you would like? Are you? I can't remember. Are you a sweet treat guy?
Speaker 2:As long as I can have a chocolate chip cookie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you wouldn't be one of those people who makes the like yogurt bowl at the end of the night with like so my plan is to get there. Yeah, you know how people on TikTok, yeah, yeah, they like freeze it and make the bark Like they do all the fun things.
Speaker 2:Yeah, If you had it in a decree you could have so much ice cream.
Speaker 1:I just I don't think so I think there's lots of people who are trying to do one or the other. That's true.
Speaker 2:It's taken me a long time to get here and I'm I've, I'm in the best shape of my life and I'm 35, so it's like that's wild that it took me this long. Yeah, but anyway, the goal we have right now is that, because, because of my disordered eating past and the fact that it's hard for me to eat, I'm just he's. He's built me hyper fixation meals.
Speaker 2:So it's like this week you're having this every day for lunch it is yeah um, and we pre-talking throughout the week like if I knew, like I knew I was going out with you guys on sunday, so he left me some like caloric whatever to have a meal out, which was the tacos we got.
Speaker 2:It all works out great, but the goal is for me to be so comfortable with understanding how food works with me that I can do things like make my own desserts and make a healthy alternative to this, because that's what I want to be able to do ultimately, but it's just like I have to get through this hump of like really understanding and feeling the difference. He was like you need to get to a point where you feel what it's like to have enough food, cause I've I just don't.
Speaker 1:Do you remember, like when they talked about Taylor Lautner or um Hugh Jackman? Like when they were getting so jacked for their movies, like they are just carrying around meat? And they're like it's the worst thing in the world to just like, have to just eat.
Speaker 2:My first memory was Tobey. Maguire when he did.
Speaker 1:Spider-Man, he was like.
Speaker 2:I remember hearing an interview where he was like I can't do it of me. I had to eat. It's wild, but you should see my meal prep.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm proud of you for that three pounds of ground beef, two pounds of turkey and like hundreds of chicken breasts hundreds I mean it was I would get really sick of that I think that for me I would have to be like I want the opposite of hyper fixation with being able to, you know, not have to cook every single meal, because I'm not good at when I meal prep things by like the end of day two. I'm like this is disgusting to me. I don't want to eat this anymore.
Speaker 2:The goal is for me to get to that point, cause right now I like I find a lot of joy in just being like I don't have to think about it. It's this it's like putting on a black shirt every day which is really great. So I will say it's a journey. You guys, I'm excited to be on it. Speedo season's coming. Look out for my photos in July.
Speaker 1:Thanks, oh, we will.
Speaker 2:And Well, we went to an event together on Sunday. That was fun.
Speaker 1:We did. We went to a little farmer's market.
Speaker 2:Our friend Ashley, who's also on the Lucille's Balls dodgeball team this season. She hosts these events and we went to it and with our friends Angela, as you know, we went to the event and then we got some tacos at Dos Madres, which I've never been.
Speaker 1:Two madres, not I've never been to madre not two mothers, your mother, your mother, I've never been.
Speaker 2:I actually had never been there either, and I have always heard people like list that as a thing, that's like in that area, so cheap yeah I actually the tacos were 250 street tacos and they were such good street tacos and the guac was really good.
Speaker 1:That was what eleven dollars and it was a good amount if it was just two people like an eleven dollar thing to split of guac and a couple cocktail street tacos and a margarita.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's. It's like a great meal.
Speaker 1:If I lived right there, that would be a sick spot.
Speaker 2:It's my next spot. I'm taking someone for sure work.
Speaker 1:You can take me if you want, I'm taking you girl.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah, oh, that was I don't. I don't know what I did. You guys, I'm taking someone for sure. Work, you can take me if you want, I'm taking you girl hell yeah oh, that was I don't, I don't know what I did.
Speaker 1:You guys, I'm not gonna lie to you today. I haven't even told you this. I am, I've spiraled about what last night and today. I'm just in one of those emotional, hormonal, emotional times. Where I am, it is, the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I am everyone hates me Like I am the most annoying person in the world, like every little thing I'm analyzing.
Speaker 2:And we're going to Disney this week. Yeah, I'll kick it out of you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, hopefully my um lady time will be over by then. Oh yeah, and I feel like that's a part of it well, let me jog your memory because I think once a month I go through this.
Speaker 1:Where I literally cried this morning it was. I cried and then I saw the pillow of macy. That's like whenever, whenever you miss me, hug, hug this pillow and remind me. And it has this picture of her. That is so cute and I literally bawled my eyes out this morning. I'm going to cry right now. No, um, with that pillow. And I was just today I did go to yoga and I was like setting my intention of like letting anxiety, trying to let anxiety go and, um, not making up false realities, because that's what I do, it's hard, it's hard, that's, it's challenging, for sure and like everything, today was also every like piece of content I have consumed today, with the exception of I was watching josh peck yeah, so yeah he had jay shetty on his podcast.
Speaker 1:Do you know who that is? No, he is um. He's a youtuber, like social media person, but he and he's like humongous, like I don't know how you haven't ever heard of him. To be really, really honest, because he has so many followers. He used to be a monk.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:And he's not anymore, but he still practices Is he still a. Buddhist, he might be Hindu oh okay. Unsure about his exact religion, so don't come for me, because he was a monk in a couple places, but mostly India. So I do think Hindu, but unsure, that's not the point. He's so well spoken and he was talking on their podcast about like the practices of, like letting go certain emotions and stuff and that actually was really nice, like while I was taking my shower and getting ready to come here and then driving here.
Speaker 1:that was a positive thing, but every other piece of content that I had consumed today has been negative and reiterating reiterating the negative things that I'm feeling and about just like everything has been negative today and so that has not helped. I don't know if it's just because I am feeling negatively that I'm those things like I'm just noticing them, because that's another thing. Jay was talking about frequency, something phenomenon where, like, if you, if you think of a red car, or if you're like I'm gonna, I'm gonna buy a red car, then you only see red cars driving that type of thing. I don't know if it's because I'm in a negative headspace today that everything I'm consuming is also negative, yeah I don't know.
Speaker 2:So I've had um pretty bad bidet emotionally and mentally it's so funny to hear not funny, but it is like when you're to hear, hear this, and then to know that I didn't know this, but then I'm just sending you voice notes or they're like. So, anyway, what time do you want to?
Speaker 1:leave for Disney on Thursday.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:I mean you're the world. The day can't stop just because but I mean yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm really sorry.
Speaker 1:So that brings my like eyes are watering.
Speaker 2:I'm going to move on, but Well, I can remind you of your week.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know what else I did.
Speaker 2:You Okay. So, as you guys know, she plays dodgeball on Tuesdays. I play dodgeball on Wednesdays. Did you win your game?
Speaker 1:We tied.
Speaker 2:Good for you.
Speaker 1:Honestly, yeah, because like it was another hard one. Yeah, you know the guy that we played and he is insane. Yeah, and um, we, we tied, and then that put us right, smack dab in the middle of the tournament.
Speaker 1:Okay so we're probably gonna have to play like one of the best people, I would assume. It depends on what style of bracket they do. Okay, but we, we are literally six out of 12. Wow, which isn't the worst, which is what I thought we were going to be when I first my first game playing we lost our first game.
Speaker 2:We only had 13 players, so we were a little disadvantaged, but um, I already told you this, but this was the first time we experienced the other team cheating getting caught and then they had to pay for it.
Speaker 1:Tell them about this.
Speaker 2:So this team we were playing wait, you guys, sports corner, sports corner, um, brief, sports corner. Uh, the other team we were playing, um, they were, we were pretty evenly matched in skill, I would say, but they had two like like two really really strong arms, that we have a lot of strong arms, but we didn't have Ryan Steve-O Sass this past week. Yes, so it's really just Michael, jack, freddie and myself carrying it with the arms. Yeah, and am I missing someone that has a good arm? No, everyone's a great player, sorry.
Speaker 1:Just like, anyway, forceful throws.
Speaker 2:First of all, I gotta tell you guys and I'm gonna do it to camera for you watching at home, because so you can experience this, because I've already done it to allison the team captains at the start of a game, they come to the middle and you do ram, sham. What's it called?
Speaker 1:sham, ram, blam well, you were about to say rochambeau, which is insane. It's a rock paper scissors.
Speaker 2:Thank you, thank you. It's rock paper scissors. We are from Indiana. But they always say Rochambeau.
Speaker 1:No, it's not that.
Speaker 2:You introduce yourselves. You do rock paper scissors. The winner gets to choose if they want to have balls or which side of the court this bitch knows. I walked up to her and I was like hey, I'm Alex Guys. She looks me up and down like this. She goes, I'm nasty and doesn't shake my hand.
Speaker 1:That is a movie.
Speaker 2:I was like oh, I went oh okay, and she went, yeah girl.
Speaker 1:You didn't tell me that part. I wish you would have been like it's made up some name for yourself in the moment.
Speaker 2:But I was not expecting that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a shocking thing to hear.
Speaker 2:So anyway, she wins the Rochambeau. And here's how you know if someone knows this court, because when you win you choose side, not balls, because that yeah, gym is so well, you were at the side with the net.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah because the other side it doesn't matter right.
Speaker 2:So it's like, if you want, you want to start on the shitty side, because when the because halfway through the game, you switch sides so when you're more tired, you want to be on the side where the balls bounce back to you.
Speaker 2:And when she said, oh, we're picking side, we picked this side, I was like, oh, she's nasty. Now here's why I told you guys about Nasty. So Nasty was their star player and they protected her at all costs. Like there were fucking there was. Like the people knew. They were like, oh, I'm dying first. Then she has her Kings guard.
Speaker 1:And then literally, and that's what happened in my game too.
Speaker 2:And it was like they would move in the in unison. So the goal became to get nasty out. However, we would get her out now and we were losing. Like they were up three. We had one and nasty was the third to get out in that. In a game that we were playing and then someone on their team caught one of balls, and when you catch a ball, someone on the opposing team gets to bring someone back On your team. If you catch a ball, someone on your team gets to get back in the game and the ref who is I always forget.
Speaker 2:Nope, marcel Markel, who we love, saw Nasty uh, mar, marcel.
Speaker 1:Oh, Markel.
Speaker 2:Markel, who we love saw. Nasty Markel, you're listening, saw Nasty, she literally went behind the two guys. So the guy that was supposed to come in, she went to in front of him like, pushed him back and got back on the court.
Speaker 1:That's wild.
Speaker 2:That is grounds for immediate forfeit. You can't, you lose that round.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And Markel saw it. None of us saw that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And he goes no, she cheated you guys, you win, so we won that round. So we were down two to three. We ended up losing five to two, so it's pretty close yeah but, guys, she played so nasty like it was she lived up to her name, she didn't even apologize like they. They admitted that they. They admitted that they cheated and she wasn't like sorry guys, that was shitty.
Speaker 2:Nothing then at the end of the game I went to say goodbye to them and and just, they didn't want anything to do with us. They were so why?
Speaker 1:oh, they were jacked. I thought you said they were mad.
Speaker 2:They won no they were just like aggressive players. Anyway, we're not fun. We're still in first.
Speaker 1:Cause. Even I will say even the people who I've played against that are really good on our league in the moment when they're cause. Look you guys, I take offense If someone is like throwing it at me really hard and like at me really hard and like I don't know. They're like they have a stare down and they look kind of mean. I'm not to the point yet in my dodgeball career where I am not like a little bit offended yeah, and sometimes I am and I'm like okay, you don't have to be so mean, I'm just a girl when they're really not.
Speaker 1:And every time after the game when we're like saying good game, they all have like smiles on my face and they look really nice and they're like a game whatever. So I haven't had a time where afterwards I'm like, oh, these people are horrible, yeah, yeah, but that's insane. This is a recreational, like a go play on team USA.
Speaker 2:If you like want to be that serious, go try out. So yeah, that was our that was our, that was our sports week.
Speaker 1:I do have one thing that I did, but I'm going to save it for a list of the week because, that. That thing is my a list of the week.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Um, I, oh, I had um. So one of my friends has moved here. Um, he's from Indiana, but he also lived in New York. He has just moved here this year and he has not met Josh yet. So I had planned a dinner, um, and then he wasn't able to come. He was feeling sick and he was afraid of getting us sick. So, um, but Haley also knows him from school too. So, um, and Haley and Sita, we're going to come to that dinner as well. So they just came over and we had a little you know double date and had pizza.
Speaker 1:You guys did you see my story? Yeah, I thought it was a joke. No, it literally happened. So there's a pizza like italian pasta pizza pasta place here called john and benny's very trendy, very vibey, very cute place. Like good wine, whatever. Um, they now have a place that's in the valley and I hadn't ordered or been there yet, and so when we were having this dinner, I was like, oh, I'm just gonna order from john and benny's and get.
Speaker 1:I'm naming them john and freaking benny's yeah we, um, I got some pasta which I only ordered one thing. They're like kind of famous for their spicy fusilli. That's like one of the things that people like love there. Okay, I ordered only a single of that because hayley's ordered from them before. She's like oh, like it's totally enough. Yeah, that was like half of the container was filled. It was like a circular tin container and it was so small of an amount and cena was like oh, we've ordered this before and it's like so full that it barely closes and I was like that was the first offense. And then I go to pick up the pizza boxes. There was two of them and they felt light and I opened one and it was one of the pizzas. I was like cool. And then I had the other one in my hand. I was like this feels so light.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was sealed yeah, yeah, yeah so we open it and it is just an empty box that they have sent me, with not my other pizza in it, and I couldn't believe that it was a sealed box that someone was like stickered and just passed off without even thinking about it.
Speaker 1:They did um, we, I had a, cena put it in his story and tagged them and I had just um, I tagged them, but they, when they saw mine, I just said like lol, this is crazy or something. But they didn't really watch or see it. I don't think they replied to me with like a green hearts, like they thought it was a positive thing, but Sina's story had been like in bold letters and it was like this is crazy, like what, what are you doing? So they saw his and they were like hey, we're sorry, like we'll email you or what's a good email. They still have not emailed me, by the way, cause he gave them my email. They have not emailed me.
Speaker 2:You check your spam?
Speaker 1:Uh, no, but I will.
Speaker 2:You should check your spam.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to do it right now, but anyway, that was a crazy thing that happened.
Speaker 2:What night was that?
Speaker 1:I did get reimbursed from DoorDash but what night that was Thursday rough on a Thursday. Yeah, it was really sad, but we, I ordered, I got the refund like initiated right then, and then I ordered from another place down the street that was delicious, so it was quick and it was really good. Okay, good, so that was that.
Speaker 2:I think friday something happened I went to candy pop, so oh yeah, I saw.
Speaker 1:I didn't know where you went.

I went to the first candy pop, like that's how well I know you are well versed but I haven't been since. Oh my god, like 2021 with romero, karina and chloe, that was the last time I did.

Speaker 2:It was cute. I real quick finishing this up. So basically like I was like guys, we we're. I do not want to go there after 11 pm. I'd like to be home by midnight at the latest, and I don't care if it's not going to be a full dance floor, do you? And they're like no?
Speaker 1:no, you're there just to vibe.
Speaker 2:Yes, we, literally just we got there, we went to suzanna's and pre-gamed like college students and then got there. There was no line or wait. There was so much room on the dance floor but it was like great.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And we stayed for like an hour and then all went back home and got our own McDonald's and called it a night. I love that. It was pretty nice. I hadn't been dancing in a while and it does Every time I do. I'm like God, like we live in LA.
Speaker 1:We could dance every weekend.
Speaker 2:And it doesn't have to be A wasted drinking situation, no, a wasted dancing situation. I just like love to dance.
Speaker 1:But I Same and I can't. I want you guys. I love West Hollywood gay bars as much as the next.

Speaker 1:I want to shake my ass Like I'm sorry and I do not want, like a house remix, to like a Britney song no, no, no, I would rather just hear the Britney song.
Speaker 2:Let me hear the Britney song.
Speaker 1:And a lot of the like West Hollywood bars are very, are very that, except for rockos. I feel like rockos has that kind of music, so I could go to rockos, but I need to go to just like a place that is playing just that. Because when I told you I went to that uh bar last time yeah, for cena's birthday it started out being what I wanted and then it turned into house. I want somewhere where it doesn't change. I want it to be stuff I heard in college.
Speaker 2:Yes, I agree.
Speaker 1:And that's it. But that reminded me of you were talking about. If you're older, you get things Um. I, if you guys follow the um creator, rod on Tik TOK or whatever he's's a does a lot of millennial, nostalgic things and we are like friends, like internet friends. He lives in chicago and he will host these um oh, I know you're talking about uh club nights where it's like super early seven or eight pm and it's done early and it's like all of the best millennial songs I've seen that We've got Hilary Duff, we've got all the those things.
Speaker 1:So if you guys are in the Chicago area and you are interested in that, go follow Rod R-O-D. I think that's what his handle is everywhere.
Speaker 2:Lucky.
Speaker 1:And um go to one of his millennial nights because it's like we're getting there early, we're getting home at a decent hour and we're going to bed, but you get to hear all the fun songs. I love that.
Speaker 2:I was going to say, though, save your dancing pants, because my dancing pants are for every day. Save your clubbing dancing pants, because Megan really wants to go out dancing when she's here.

He's doing great, Right, Stan. He's on meds right now so he's a little loopy. He's not allowed to play with his toys. Even though I tried to convince the vet that he doesn't play with toys he carries toys he was like no, no, no, no, no, no toys. For two weeks I have been breaking that rule, because taking Stanley's toys away from him is like taking a baby doll away from a little girl, because Stanley's toys are like his best friends. They're not things that he destroys, they're things he loves. Anyway, thank you for your thoughts. Person concerns. Stanley is doing great great.

Speaker 1:You're a working out boy now, yeah, your quads and your hamstrings are going to be sore.
Speaker 2:Yeah, squats, that's what does it.
Speaker 1:But that's good. You're actually engaging your hamstrings instead of your quads for um squats and that means you're doing them right.
Speaker 2:I think yeah, the form I take the form very seriously.
Speaker 1:Good, okay, sorry. Well, that's all I had on that. I just looked that up while you're upstairs. Um jinx. Today is the 21st and that is the day that pope francis passed yes at age 88, so that's news today, I will tell.
Speaker 2:I heard the news and thought again.
Speaker 1:He's been the Pope for a while, right, how?
Speaker 2:long I thought the Pope just died.
Speaker 1:Pope Francis served as the 266th Pope for 12 years, from March 13, 2013 until today.
Speaker 2:So you're thinking of the one that died 12 years from March 13th 2013 until today.
Speaker 1:So you're thinking of the one that died prior, 12 years ago. I guess he might've been, I don't know. Some of them have the same like choose the same name right, it will.
Speaker 2:It is like Pope Francis the 35th or something.
Speaker 1:I think he was just the third, oh.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, this sounds disrespectful.
Speaker 1:No, yeah, none of this is. He might not have been the third. Um, none of this is meant to be disrespectful.
Speaker 2:So okay, so he's passed. That's news that we're catching, that is news.
Speaker 1:Stroke slash, heart failure, wow, um. But you guys, if you haven't watched conclave, now is your time because it's about to happen, which I feel like they had to plan this.
Speaker 2:they knew that it was coming here's the thing I still don't know what a conclave is. Oh, it's the time between popes where they're electing a new pope got it. I do want to watch conclave I, you do, really do.
Speaker 1:Um, I read that it won't start for like 15 days, though, and in the movie I don't know that they make that clear. Like it feels like he dies and they like seal his room, which is kind of crazy, because I don't know if they embalm him in there or what, but they just like, oh, maybe they take his body out. They definitely do. They don't just like leave his body in there, but they, they seal off his room and no one's supposed to go in there, and then it's just like the conclave starts. So they don't really tell us how many days are in between, but I did read oh, my God, a conclave is about to happen.
Speaker 1:I know that's why you need to watch it. Let me. Let me see what I Is conclave.
Speaker 2:a fictional telling of a story of a conclave, yes, okay.

Sorry for my pronunciation of the Italian that I don't know. Oh. I thought, it was Latin, Could be Latin. Francis will be placed in a coffin and lie in a state for several days until the funeral Conclave. The process of picking a new Pope is not expected to begin earlier than 15 days, no later than 20 days, after the Pope's death. So you?
Speaker 2:have 20 days to watch.
Speaker 1:Well, 15 days Okay, could be more, but I highly recommend you guys. If you haven't watched it, I already told you it was a good movie. You have to get past the.

Speaker 1:Yeah, um, bonnie bear is interesting Cause he's very brooding and slow, and that's true.
Speaker 2:He's very brooding and slow, and that's true.
Speaker 1:That is throwing a little bit of like a and Lorde because it could go either way, with Lorde Because she did Girl so Confusing with her and it was more like clubby, like sound, but Lorde is known for.
Speaker 2:Stanley, I think it's his stitches.

Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Shocker.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I actually meant I don't. I thought I put it in the link that I read today, but no. I didn't.
Speaker 2:The headline I read was just that he has postponed it and definitely people's tickets will be refunded.
Speaker 1:The headline I read was just that he has postponed it indefinitely. People's tickets will be refunded.
Speaker 2:Yeah, at least the tickets are being refunded because that would be insane.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a message was sent to take ticket holders, so it's sent to all the people that said it had been postponed. New day will be announced. We've issued a refund Once the new day is announced. Then you can repurchase tickets. I'm glad, yeah. I'm glad he wasn't like postponed, we'll let you know. Your ticket will still be whatever, because that means he's holding on to that money?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know. We'll see. I mean it was kind of anticlimactic but we knew it wasn't going to happen.
Speaker 1:I just wasn't sure how it wasn't going to happen. Do you think the postponement is more because they didn't sell a lot of tickets and so they're like?
Speaker 2:no, I think that someone finally got to him and was like logistically, sir, this cannot happen.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Well, because I thought they were doing the buying out day clubs and just right, I think, but think about this.
Speaker 2:I got an email today. Coachella tickets just went on sale for next year.
Speaker 1:Of course yeah.
Speaker 2:His event should start. Tickets now for next year. Yeah, his event should start tickets now for next year. Yeah, but he did it two months before.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it needs to not be it needs to not be a festival, it just needs to be a concert, like just have a day concert people will still travel there because they can make a vacation out of it and just be like we have a full day planned of you know, back to back to back people performing and it's in this you know area and we'll have vendors and whatever you can buy from, and then the rest of the weekend you go do your own thing, girl period that's still hard to plan.
Speaker 1:I'm not saying that it sure isn't hard to plan, but it is way easier than trying to plan a full weekend festival with with all these promises. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Um.
Speaker 1:I also think he just couldn't book people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1:So it's like what can you do? You have one person that's a ex football player what's he going to do? And no one to perform for these people.
Speaker 2:No, not at all. Um Heather texted me and said I need to hear about the katie perry conspiracies on the pod.
Speaker 1:Thanks, are there new ones? Not john benet?
Speaker 2:ramsey no, like that, I guess. Like the going to space thing was faked oh that because they opened the door prematurely yeah, yeah and it should have been hot oh, really I didn't, so I've heard nothing except that it was like the pr team was like no, no, no, let us open the door. Like they were mad about it yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I've seen mixed things also, so I don't know if I what I can say on it, because I in my head was like of course there's a way to open the door from the inside, because if they land in the water somewhere and they can't get out like.
Speaker 2:There needs to be a mechanism that will allow them to open and it wouldn't be hot on the inside, would it?
Speaker 1:no, because they're in the inside, like they've been in it the whole time. So to me. But then I also heard people say like it does not open from the inside and that's how spaceships work. So I've gotten conflicting things.
Speaker 2:I need to hear Katy Perry Need pod to cover Katy Perry flight conspiracy theories, please Thank you.
Speaker 1:Honestly, when I typed in conspiracy it still came up Fake hand to satanic symbols. What Out of this world or straight out of a studio, which I did watch that movie, that.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:But it wasn't like that. They faked it. It was a fail safe.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:One user labeled it as the worst CGI any fake space agency has produced. I don't agree. I watched the video of them going up. I guess at least are they just talking about the ending I don't know um.
Speaker 1:Perhaps the most viral evidence was a clip showing the capsule's door slightly ajar before jeff bezos ceremoniously opened it with a tool moments later. To the conspiratorial mind, it was a glaring inconsistency a supposed airtight, high pressure hatch swinging open too easily. In contrast, actual nasa missions involved teams of technicians prying hatches open with precision. Was the door gap just an oversight, or was the was a or the unraveling of a well-scripted show?
Speaker 2:why, why why? I mean I don't know because this?
Speaker 1:isn't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there isn't a reason for them to fake it were they trying like because it was distracting us from something else I mean, I guess that would be the only thing, but this isn't an actual space mission.
Speaker 1:I can understand why people think that the space, the moon landing, was faked because we were in a race against Russia to get there first, and so the the incentive to fake is greater. Yeah, like it's an actual incentive Like this, like people didn't even want them to do this because it's wasting resources, so they're like why would they then put themselves in that position to get all that backlash?
Speaker 2:for no reason. Imagine the government getting together to talk about this right, and they're like we got to distract the American people again and we are not doing it we're not going to do another nine, 11. So let's put Gail King and Katy Perry in space.
Speaker 1:You know who's going to do it. That is, katy Perry put gail king and katie perry in space. Do you know who's gonna do it?
Speaker 2:that is katie perry, that'll do it. The government does.
Speaker 1:No, I'm sorry no, I don't believe it I love a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2:This one does not hold up I don't believe it.
Speaker 1:I think that this is not a nasa space um capsule. It's blue origin. I think that they have a a way to open it from the inside and they've done these flights before. It's like the same, these rich people go up laying down.
Speaker 2:they have a way to open it from the inside and they've done these flights before. It's like the same. These rich people go up laying down. They have like three minutes in the stratosphere and they come back down and yeah.
Speaker 1:I think that you, unless you are a person who has worked on a blue origin ship, then, like you, are the only one that knows that. If you are someone who knows about NASA, like they make their own ships- Right, so you can't. You would never know what's inside of the Blue Origin one. So, in my opinion, I think that they have, they had a way to open it and they were just instructed let Jeff. Let Jeff open it, because that's he's.
Speaker 1:And they were just like, obviously, he was egotistical and wants to be like the guy who's opening it and they forgot because they were excited and amped up and they just like opened it. Yeah, that's my thought.
Speaker 2:I agree and I want to jump back and say that I was joking when I said the government stage 9-11.
Speaker 1:In case an AI software is listening to this, for sure, thank you, shall we get to A-list of the week.
Speaker 2:It's time for A, a list of the week.
Speaker 1:It's time for okay you want to know mine, I do I'm so excited.
Speaker 2:Have you watched on hulu, disney or disney plus? Yet?
Speaker 1:national geographic just put out titanic the digital resurrection new, but is this the one with the new images? Yes, so you're probably seeing tiktok clips I saw the tiktok way more fascinating to watch yeah, those pictures are crazy it's not pictures, though, or sure oh, someone released photos in an article, so maybe that's what I saw but, it could be the same so they basically sent down.
Speaker 2:They spent two full weeks underwater, these two machines called romeo and juliet, and romeo was gathering this kind of data and juliet was gathering this other data and they, for two straight weeks, without stopping, scanned both wreckage sites, okay, over and over and over, until they got every tiny little scan. And now, for the first time ever, they have these high resolution, like 3d renderings of the Titanic wreckage.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like very, very clear.
Speaker 2:And they built a soundstage so that they could make it life size. So they built a soundstage here, put LED screens that would be the size of the ship underwater so that researchers can go right up to the screens and like actually investigate the things that are going on oh cool and the things that they've discovered.
Speaker 1:There's the window where the iceberg hit is still intact and didn't it say something like the reason, the reason that it flooded came down to the width of a piece of paper yes like that's how little the uh crack was that went, made it go over to the the bulkhead too many chambers being so also this part is crazy because they were able to do this and see, like, the structural integrity and how it went down.
Speaker 2:They also did a reenactment of a bunch of different ways that this could have happened. The ship was designed those bulkheads. The unsinkable part of titanic was that you could they could flood four bulkheads and still be floating. That was the thing that made them yeah so that was designed so that if a head-on collision happened it would survive the head-on collision? Had officer murdoch not said to steer hard right?
Speaker 1:yeah left.
Speaker 2:Then they would have head on collision. Everyone pretty much in first class or the front of the boat would have died, but this ship would not have sank crazy they ran did they know how, like at what speed?
Speaker 1:because there had to be a yes, they know the speed, the top speed that would have still made it sink well, titanic was going at its full speed so they would have known if they're gonna hit something at full speed.
Speaker 2:This is the amount they did a literal, like the iceberg and the size that they knew it was, and then a video of the of the titanic hitting it and the way that it would crumple and crush and where it would roughly stop but because those four bulkheads would not have flooded yeah the fourth bulkhead wouldn't have flooded. They would have stayed floating wow, that's wild and so, like she's like, dare I say, had officer murdoch not made the call yeah that, like the ship would not have sank, people would have died.
Speaker 2:It would have been tragic and awful because they would have died by but not everyone but not everyone, not 1500 people.
Speaker 1:They also said that um, they found out that the pipes with the steam um were still in the on position. So that means that the people that were in the coal area were still producing energy, so that the lights would stay on, so that I could get people into the boats and get them safely off.
Speaker 2:And, like all those people died yeah, because when they were, they were still working, they were not trying to get off, which is very sad and they also were able to tell by all this footage that there was one lifeboat that they were starting to lower at the time of the of the sinking like when it cracked like when it cracked, like when it the one the front split and the front, and then it bobbed, goes away the back, comes up and it goes down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're like a third of a mile away from each other underwater. Yeah, it's wild anyway, and it was going very fast.
Speaker 1:We could talk about this for hours, you guys there is a new thing in la that is like a vr though right vr and it's like relive the titanic in vr and I seem so morbid morbid like what do you mean relive, they die yeah, but I mean, but like do we need to do it?
Speaker 1:probably yeah and the thing is is I would like to vlog it, but it's vr, so it's like you wouldn't be able I wouldn't be able to show people what I'm seeing unless you can get a recording of oh, maybe I don't know, I can look into it, because that might be interesting and we've done every other titanic thing, so we might as well do that so I highly recommend this.
Speaker 2:I put it on today while I was having my lunch and I was like, oh no, this is really good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I will have to do it when I can pay attention. It can't be background.
Speaker 2:Hulu or Disney plus, but it's through national geographic.
Speaker 1:Would like to watch.
Speaker 2:That's my list of the week, y'all.
Speaker 1:Mine is also a something to view, and that is the movie sinners. Josh and I went and watched it the other night and I didn't know if I was going to like it, but I know that I like Michael B Jordan and I know that I like Hailee Steinfeld, and she's coming back to music. She is, she put a song on that for that movie. And then she did an interview where she was like I'm itching.
Speaker 2:What's that? Is that a Gen Z word? No, she's just like itching.
Speaker 1:To get back to me, she said I'm mitchin, no like she wants to get back to music yeah, and honestly, she has so many bangers yeah, so many songs about masturbation just subtle, honestly, whatever, I guess, but they're also good like they. If you don't know it's about that, then it's just like you're just getting it I can also vouch that she's a very lovely person oh, I love her. Yeah, oh yeah. How do you know her?
Speaker 2:when I was working for when I was working for nike and we were pitching to have the olympics here in la. We booked hayley to perform and the like production tent that I was in. She was in there waiting before she was to go on stage and that we had to stop her. The team had to stop her because she was wearing an adidas like, uh, like summer dress thing, because it was an outdoor concert in venice and she was like I should probably change right? Yeah, they're like yes good on her.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but yes, this movie is very interesting. It is I don't think it's giving it away that there is like a. It's a horror movie, I guess, um, but it has like a level of vampirism ah, vampirism so like I I don't typically like that it's a movie, sorry, it's in the box office right now. Okay, I don't typically like movies about vampires.
Speaker 2:A movie, sorry it's in the box office right now.
Speaker 1:Okay, I don't typically like movies about vampires for some reason other than twilight.
Speaker 2:Other than twilight, like horror movies, like I don't like dracula movies.
Speaker 1:I know it's just they're not for me, but I wanted to give this one a try, didn't you see that one with karina in theaters? Yes, oh, that was like kind of funny, but funny yes, funny yes.
Speaker 2:Oh, we're thinking of two different movies. We're talking about the Nicolas Cage one.
Speaker 1:I was talking about the the Nicolas Cage one was like funny. Right so that one was okay.
Speaker 2:I was talking about those for all too.
Speaker 1:No, don't want to see that. That one on the ship Don't want to see that. No, that is just not for me and I'm very happy for you. But, um, this is, but it's also kind of like two movies in one. I don't know, I can't explain it. I think it's very good. It had one of the most interesting and cool visual scenes that I think I've haven't seen in a very long time in a movie this doesn't give things away.
Speaker 1:This doesn't give anything away, but there's a scene where they're dancing and there's they're playing music and it's. It's like blues music of the deep South, of like the 1800s.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:And they are depicting how, like those people that are making music and singing in that time in black culture, how it has influenced all of these decades that have come after it, and all different styles and styles of music and styles of dance, and so the these like people in the time of like the 1800s or whenever it is, or early, very early 1900s. They're all in that attire and then there's like random people dispersed who are also dancing with them, but they're um clothed in whatever like era that they're in.
Speaker 1:So there's like there's a ballerina who or not a ballerina, there's a dancer who's doing kind of like how I was telling you guys the other week about alvin ailey like like modern dance style, like there's someone like that. There's a girl from the nineties and she has on like a really short mini skirt and it's like nineties attire and the the camera is like sweeping around. It's one of the coolest scenes I've ever seen in a movie.
Speaker 1:And I I just got goosebumps thinking about it, Like it is such a good scene so movie good yeah, I just got goosebumps thinking about it. Like it is such a good scene. Is the movie good?
Speaker 2:Yeah, like I enjoyed it, that's what you keep saying, though you keep saying it like that.
Speaker 1:I know, even on Sunday you're like, yeah, it's not something that I'm like, I'm going to watch this every year for my yes. But then there's a tag at the end after the credits that I you might might like, you might not like, I don't know does it lead to a sequel?
Speaker 2:is that why?
Speaker 1:no oh no, it's just like a tag. Okay, I like. I think it was so good, it was so well made, the acting is so good, like michael b jordan plays split screen twins oh and like it is a really really well made and very interesting and good movie, but it's not like a movie that I'm going to want to watch.
Speaker 2:Sure.
Speaker 1:Every year Okay.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Like I enjoyed it for what it was and I thought that it was very good, but it's just like okay, I saw it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Type of thing. Okay, that's like that's what my answer is. It's not me talking about Titanic, where I'm like I want to watch this. I could watch this every week for the rest of my life. And I love it so much. Not the same vibe, but still very good. Yeah, so that's my recommendation Go watch centers, and if not, then when it comes to a streaming near you.
