Recording on a Different Day
Speaker 1hello hello let me crack this crack that hey howdy, how are you?
Speaker 2are we starting? It's starting, it's happening what a different time to be recording.
Speaker 1I'm not mad at it I'm not mad at it either. It's like I think it was. The last two weeks were definitely easier recording earlier in the week true, true, true.
Speaker 2I just that sounded like not a real. Okay, I am not okay. Um, but when we record on sundays and we have to turn it around immediately, then I get home late. So this is an interesting time and I'll tell you why I'm excited to be home earlier in a second.
Speaker 1I guarantee you it has to do with Big Brother.
Speaker 2Nope.
Speaker 1Some other reality show. Nope, sourdough starter.
Speaker 2Definitely not. I'll never do that again. I don't care how much Taylor Swift wants to make sourdough.
Speaker 1Okay, what, oh, you're going to tell me in a minute, okay, yeah to make sourdough.

Speaker 1Okay, you got a hamster.
Speaker 2Yes, let me guess.
Speaker 1I'm gonna try to guess A recent development. It means a new hobby.
Speaker 2Have you been on my Instagram?
Speaker 1No, that's not shade, I just haven't seen it. What?
Speaker 2are you?
Speaker 1talking about? No, it's like all I see is dancing videos of you.
Speaker 2I posted something last night about this.
Speaker 1Okay, so it's definitely.
Speaker 2It was a story.
Speaker 1I haven't seen your story.
Speaker 2You're not on my stories, I guess.
Speaker 1Well, I usually am, you're just not up there right now.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1Hmm.
Speaker 2It is a hobby.
Speaker 1I knew it was a hobby it's got to be like into. So it's something like yeah like those puzzles that you bedazzle with, like diamonds.
Speaker 2No but I actually want to do that yeah I like picture myself live streaming on tiktok like doing those, yeah, no, but side note, I have been into coloring. I got myself an adult coloring book, and by that I mean not adult themes like um not meant for fat crayons.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Like floral arrangements, if you will. It's not what I wanted, but it's what Target had.
Speaker 1Is this what it is? Is this your hobby that you're telling? This is just an additional one, all right, okay. I'm going to get. I'm going to get there quick and then late on a Sunday evening because of this hobby and it's not a game, or you didn't say that actually, so it must be something on Wii.
Speaker 2I don't have a Wii, but sure or?
Speaker 1not Wii. I always say Wii, but I mean a Switch.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1It's something on Switch. Okay, you're doing that farm girl thing, aren't you?
Speaker 2Farm girl. Yeah, like you have an island and there's animals and shit, um so, oh, animal crossing I do play animal crossing, but I'm not really into my animal crossing right now, except for I did play it like three or four days ago. I just went and checked up on my island to clean up the cockroaches I did clean up the cockroaches and I caught a few fish to sell to whoever was there all right for fish?
Speaker 1give it to me. What are you doing? What are you excited about?
Speaker 2okay, so I was influenced by another creator named Brooke Averick. Have you do?
Speaker 1you know, her?
Speaker 2Do you know her? No, okay, she has does a podcast with Connor Of course I know who Brooke is. You do.
Speaker 1Yes, she's hilarious, so funny.
Speaker 2Love. She influenced me to play this game called tiny bookshop.
Speaker 1Okay, I heard a tiktok about her talking about this and I thought she had a real bookshop.
Speaker 2No, it's such a nice cozy game and basically you, you have a little mobile bookshop, you have your truck and your like a wagon that attaches to your truck and you just go Sure. A wooden trailer A wagon that attaches.
Speaker 1Yeah, trailers can be wooden. What are?
Speaker 2you talking about? Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1Do you think trailers are only metal?
Speaker 2Um, yeah, I did think that to be really honest.
Speaker 1Got it. So a wooden trailer is to you is a wagon. Yeah, all right so you hook your wagon up to your truck and you can go all over um town. Sure.
Speaker 2Uh, selling your books every day and you you know you have to stock your bookshop for, like, the area you're going in. So if you're, if you're like by the beach, it's like more kids, so you want to have more kids books over like do the kids have money? It seems that they do oh, and are you?
Speaker 1there is like a little girl named harper.
Speaker 2That's super annoying and she comes by every day and wants to talk to you, harper. Basically the whole game is like you have to like stock your bookshelf for where you're going and then people come in to the shop and they ask for recommendations and you, the books in your bookshop are real books. So like a court of thorns and roses is in there, the great gatsby, like real, actual books, okay, and it'll pop up and be like I'm looking for a drama that has romance and it's written by a woman or something.
Speaker 2And then you go through your inventory and you see what fits their want and then you recommend it. And sometimes you get it wrong and they're like that's not what I was talking about, what the heck. Or sometimes they're like, oh my god, exactly what I was looking for. And then you, they buy the books. And then you, they buy the books and then you, you know, keep going.
Speaker 1Okay, I'm playing non-stop. Do you have to check ids? Like, are any kids trying to look at smut? And you have to be like, I need to see your id I don't, but there are like I guess they could.
Speaker 2I could recommend that and they could be like whoa that's. It says mature reading, because at the top it'll say mature I would like you to try reading. I want to see what happens you want me to recommend to harper when she comes in and asks every single day for a new book? I don't know how she's reading it right I haven't seen 50 shades come up, but a quarter four a quarter. Thorns and roses, well, I think a mist and fury was there, and then um game of thrones.
Speaker 1I want you to offer this to Harper and see if the game progresses to you like getting arrested, and then there's like a trial.
Speaker 2No, but something that when Josh came over last night and I was showing him my bookshop yeah, because he has he's been busy, so I haven't been able to show him and I was like you're not ready, I need to tell you all about my shop. Yeah, I was like you're not ready, I need to tell you all about my shop. And basically it just goes by days, so like your day ends and then you get a newspaper and it tells you like what the weather is for that day and if there's any, if there's any like community places like there where there's going to be a bunch of people at the flea market or whatever and you go all right and then you restock your shelves and then you work for the day and then when it closes out, like you don't like go anywhere, you don't go home.
Speaker 2It's just like the days just keep going on. And I was like, oh look, here's my trailer. Yeah, here's my car. I adopted this stray dog because I fed it food and it came and like hung out with me and he was like I hate to tell you this, but I think that you are unhoused, because, also, it was like there's a recycling bin that I just like came across and it let me pick it up, and it was like you can put this recycling bin out and if you find like plastic or glass, you can put in there, and like you can get money for that. And he was like this is sounding like you don't have a home wait, that's so funny.
Speaker 2Yeah, you live in your truck yeah, I live in my truck with my stray dog and recycle bin and camper or trailer yeah wow, what and like are the does?
Speaker 1is a day in this world the same as a day here? Like are you like? Is an hour an hour or does the day progress? Oh no, it goes very fast. It's like sims okay like it keeps.
Speaker 2It goes fast and like the days the it just goes by seasons so it's like autumn is like a month and it's like every Saturday is the flea market and you want to go there and you want to sell. Cause duh.
Speaker 1Yeah, right.
Speaker 2Some days it'll be like the fish markets in town and you want to go to the ocean front area and you want to put up your maritime decoration so that the sailors feel more at home with you there. That's nice, and they're more inclined to buy more. It's a like it's a. I have a second job, yeah that's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 1It's like you have accepted more employment I have for for not real money.
Speaker 2No, no, but it is just like it's classified as like a cozy yeah game, so I put on like I made my lights all cute last night and. I put on a cute, a cozy thing on my TV.
Speaker 1Sounds like it'll be fun for fall.
Speaker 2Yeah, I had a drink and I just like snuggled in and I played for so many hours.
Speaker 1Wow.
Speaker 2So if if anyone's out there and you want to try a tiny bookshop, I recommend.
Speaker 1Period.
Speaker 2So that's what's really been consuming my life and, honestly, foreshadowing that should have just been my A-list of the week, but I'll come up with something else, it's fine. I'll come up with something else.
Speaker 1It still can be. I last night, while you were being cozy and cute, I was being terrorized by the movie Weapons.
Speaker 2Oh right, yeah, you weapons. Oh right, yeah.
Speaker 1okay, for those who don't know, this is made by the same person as barbarian, which I was trying to also explain, what, and explaining the it's hard to explain barbarian the breastfeeding hairy breast.
Speaker 2I was telling josh and I was like you have to watch this movie, I don't know what to say. And he was like it doesn't sound like I want to watch that movie and I was like no, you don't get it, you have to but you know who has a cameo in weapons Justin Long they like the director Paxton.
Speaker 1Oh, they played a husband and wife couple in one scene random yes, so random, this movie was wild okay wild.
Speaker 2I feel like you can't give anything away, cause it's crazy.
Speaker 1Right, it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 2I will just say that it is like um does it live up to the 94% rotten tomatoes it has right now?
Speaker 1This is what I was trying to figure out, because for me, like the end it's strange, like the ending is really strange, which it fits the tone of the film. The pacing was so well done, like there wasn't a moment that I was like, okay, and I will say this isn't a spoiler, but it's one of those movies that repeats the day following a different character, and I typically hate those.
Speaker 2Oh what, it's another movie that does that.
Speaker 1Like every Hallmark Christmas film.
Speaker 2That's something that I don't recall.
Speaker 1And I, just like, tend to get bored with those kinds of storylines. I feel, like a Marvel movie. Does that too, Maybe anyway so when I realized, that was the pacing or that that was happening. I was like, but it was so good at not like, like the the lead, her story was like the first one and it was the longest and then each time they repeated the day they cut stuff out so like it moved quicker, they didn't show like that whole length like they did with the first girl.
Speaker 2Okay. Is the main character, the lady with the messy lipstick? No, Okay. And then also this is the.
Speaker 1She played Anna Delphi in that show on Netflix about her about Anna Delphi.
Speaker 2Yes, I know her face.
Speaker 1Yeah, right.
Speaker 2So is this this director's thing? Though I guess he didn't write it, Did he write it I?
Speaker 1don't know yes.
Speaker 2Written and directed. So is that his thing is?
Speaker 1frustrating endings because barbarians did not end in the way we wanted it to end. Right, I would say it has a similar ending to something like a feeling like that Maybe that's his thing, and he thinks he's doing something but it's as as graphic, as like hereditary, I would say whoa, yeah okay so just like yeah, I don't know what kind of genre this is in horror like, what is this genre?
Speaker 1it's gory but it's also got comedy in it, but not like all of it, just like a few moments that are like funny. But it was like this movie was supposed to be made during covid, so something like that. So like originally pedro no, who's in the last of us?
Speaker 2not pedro pascal. He was supposed to be in this. Yeah, oh yeah, I heard that um he's in it literally everything else right.
Speaker 1It worked out for him. It's fine, but the movie I would say very entertaining lots of like big celebrity cameos for like one tiny part.
Speaker 2I guess because everyone liked barbarians.
Speaker 1Maybe. But so I would say, yes, I was entertained and I was like, okay, this is an interesting thing, it's just not anything that you think. It is Like I thought it was going to have a very like this spoiler kind of spoiler, but not really Just be forewarned. I thought it was going to be more practical Because you know the trailer You've heard like these kids all go missing at exactly 2.17.
Speaker 2AM. That's literally all I know.
Speaker 1Yeah, so I thought it was going to be some sort of a metaphor on something and like whatever, I thought it was more alien vibes. Or I was like, or it's that.
Speaker 2But it's demonic. I hate demon. Like demonic, uh voodoo weirdness, so just be my least favorite type of horror, I would say well, okay, I prefer no demonic shit, but it was very yeah, I really my least, least favorite is like religious centered demons, yeah yeah, possessions and whatnot.
Speaker 1That's my least favorite is like religious centered demons yeah, yeah, possessions and whatnot.
Speaker 2That's my least favorite. And then this would be next because is that remember? Was that one of the paranormal activities?
Speaker 1that was like kind of religious there was one yes, correct, yeah, no not for me, not here for it, not for me so anyway, bring me me just like a good slasher yeah. Well, you're going to get that soon.
Speaker 2Scream.
Speaker 1Scream.
Speaker 2Is this the one with she's back? She's back, neve Campbell, she's back, and so is Dewey, and it's like the actual end.
Speaker 1Wait, he's dead. It's like a before I don't know now. Now I don't know if that was a dream.
Speaker 2I have to look this up I'm pretty sure he's in it. Double check yes, david arquez returning to the scream franchise for the scream 7, as dewey riley, despite his character's death in the previous film. His return, along with other deceased characters like stew mocker, roman bridger, is reported to be part of a broader nostalgic approach to the film. The exact way Dewey returns remains a mystery, with speculation ranging from flashbacks to creative means or AI voiceovers.
Speaker 1According to, yeah, okay, that's. I read something similar. So, yeah, we don't know.
Speaker 2I'm okay. I guess I'm okay if it's a flashback. Yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, If it's a flashback, cool. But if it, If it becomes a thing where it's like we touched this crystal and it sent us to a different. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2Oh, that would make that would really hurt the integrity of the franchise.
Speaker 1I concur If you will. Can I tell you my whole day yesterday, please? I haven't seen Emily since May and, as you know, emily had hip surgery. Hey, em Hi, so I was like enough, it's been too long. I go to Emily's. We chatted and then we went and got brunch. I had half a bottle of champagne.
Speaker 2Wasted.
Speaker 1Huh, I was pretty sufficiently tips.
Speaker 2Oh, I was thinking half a glass, half a bottle, half a bottle.
Speaker 1We shared a bottle of champagne and a scotch of orange juice.
Speaker 2I would say as you do but I had a great breakfast.
Speaker 1sandwich anyway, sandwich Anyway where'd you go? Cafe Vita.
Speaker 2Yummy Never been there.
Speaker 1It was really delicious, great service, excellent. Mimosa waiter really liked my hair, um, so we went back and then we went back to her place and then I had to leave and I went to the gym and I did a full hour and 15 minute workout.
Speaker 2Wow, who are you?
Speaker 1Who am I? And I didn't even get a headache from the body. No no.
Speaker 2Headache from the what.
Speaker 1Champs.
Speaker 2What does that mean?
Speaker 1Champagne.
Speaker 2Oh, I thought you were. That was some sort of gym equipment that I was unaware of.
Speaker 1I didn't even get a headache from drinking champagne or shampoo, I thought at first. I was just impressed that I made it there and I did my workout.
Speaker 2Yeah, were you drunk doing your workout.
Speaker 1I was no, no Cause I went into like a drive obviously, but no, I was, but I was like and I took my pre-workout and I was really like, am I going to crash? Cause you know, sometimes champs can make you crash.
Speaker 2That's a lot. It's a downer and an upper.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2But I guess if it had run its course, it's true.
Speaker 1And then then I came home and then I went and saw weapons. So it's just like big day, big full day big full, die Big day. Big full die. I Do you know how it started, actually started.
Speaker 2I don't.
Speaker 1I drove to LAX.
Speaker 2Oh, you did say that that's the worst. Wait what time.
Speaker 1We left. Actually, it wasn't that bad. It only took us 45 minutes to get there.
Speaker 2Wait, this was Saturday.
Speaker 1This was yesterday.
Speaker 2It did take me a long time to get to Santa Monica, so that's weird, but I guess I probably went way after that, so never mind that would. That would be it yeah and now here we are, sunday, sunday we're doing this yesterday I went yeah, I went to Santa Monica to watch Josh play football, and then I came home and I played tiny bookshop right and then I cooked dinner well, when you said I made a drink, do you mean alcoholic, or did you make yourself like a little matcha tea or something?
Speaker 2When did I say I made a drink?
Speaker 1You said I set the tone, I set the lights down. Oh, I made a cocktail. Okay, that's yeah.
Speaker 2Although it was gross, I tried to make a Hugo spritz, as you know. As we tried and I looked up at the. I looked up the recipe and it was like a half ounce of saint germain, four ounces of prosecco, yeah, and top it off with a seltzer. I didn't have a seltzer, but I had a light tonic okay, tonic has a flavor, though it's just like sweetened a little, all right right, but it was like light, so it was like way less sweetened okay you know what I mean I do.
Speaker 2I do like a, g and t sometimes, but tonic does have lots of calories yeah I was missing lemon, but it mattered. I think it mattered because it was not good damn. So I think the ratios were off, or maybe the tonic did make a difference, but it was a splash.
Speaker 1Well, I do. That was so refreshing. What bar was that?
Speaker 2Laurel.
Speaker 1Hardware.
Speaker 2Tavern.
Speaker 1Laurel Tavern yes, delicioso.
Speaker 2No, it is good, or was?
Speaker 1it Foreman's, it was Foreman's.
Speaker 2Oh, I don't.
Speaker 1IDK.
Speaker 2One of those so many places.
Speaker 1Hugo Spritz. Oh, I don't, idk, we're one of those so many places.
Speaker 2Hugo spritz no, it is good and I do enjoy them, but it wasn't. It wasn't it for me, so I didn't really drink it that much oh well, I'm sorry it's okay, but that was it. Yeah, I made dinner and then I played. I did watch big brother and then I played more Tiny Bookshop.
Speaker 1Okay, cute, what's happening in the world.
Speaker 2We have to talk about the number one story of the week. What do you mean? Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1Yeah, and her announcement, as if we weren't going to talk about that.
Speaker 2You're right. What are your thoughts?
Speaker 1Well, here's my thoughts. You guys want to know something, yeah, so.
Speaker 2I guess if you are under a rug, Taylor Swift, if you live under a rug or a rock either one. Yes, taylor went on New Heights podcast, which is Jason and Travis's podcast. Yes, and she did her first podcast, like her debut of podcast.
Speaker 1Yeah, she's never done a pod.
Speaker 2Never in her life. And then at the end she uh introduced the name artwork and everything of her new album.
Speaker 1TS12 everyone, it's here.
Speaker 2The life of a show girl.
Speaker 1The life of a show girl, and you better believe. I quickly ordered one of the limited release CDs in the 72 hours that it was available, that's okay.
Speaker 2Shocker.
Speaker 1I didn't do that.
Speaker 2Yeah, absolutely shocked but what are your thoughts?
Speaker 1here is. Here's the thing you guys. I want to be really candid. Oh, I love taylor swift everyone knows this I'm a swifty. I'm in the heiress to a movie. I'm gonna say that it's gonna be on my tombstone I forget every time and then you say it and it is exciting I'm in the heiress to a movie on disney plus, okay, I loved everyone knows my favorite album on the count of three one, two, three, 1989.
Speaker 2What's your favorite song? One, two, three, Wonderland.
Speaker 1Okay, so I love 1989.
Speaker 2I almost forgot it. You got in there.
Speaker 1I love 1989, 1989. I also really love red. But anyway, point is, since 1989 we got lover was great, reputation was fine and great, but like their max martin had his fingers in 1989 in a way that was like yes, and he's back so and I folklore evermore fine. Great midnights was great. It wasn't the pop album I thought it was going to be Same. And then Tortured Poets has a couple bangers but still not the pop album that I've been wanting, yeah.
Speaker 1So when you see Max Martin as the producer and that she went to Sweden, during the era's tour to shoot to record this album. You know we're about to get the pop album that we've all been begging for since 1989.
Speaker 2I am excited about that and I do hope it doesn't disappoint.
Speaker 1There's no way it can If Max Martin is behind the wheel. There is no way there isn't at least two bangers.
Speaker 2Has he done any of her songs in all of those other albums recently?
Speaker 1I do not believe so. Not a single one. I don't think so. I do not think so. Double check Not a single one. I don't think so. I do not think so. Max Martin Taylor.
Weekend Activities and Outings
Speaker 2Swift discography Songs would have been smaller for me to type. That's true. Max Martin music albums max martin taylor, swift 1989, reputation red okay, so he did do some in reputation.
Speaker 1Did you do bad blood?
Speaker 2I have to click on a different link to be really honest it's okay, we can cut this out, but I gotta know on red. You're asking a reputation, so many reputation ready for it. In game. I did something bad, don't blame me okay, okay, that's right, that's right delicate. So it goes. Gorgeous king of my heart, dancing with our hands tied okay, so he did.
Speaker 1Yes, that makes sense. That has his tonality in it, duh red, he did 22.
Speaker 2I knew your trouble. We're never getting back together and message in a bottle. Taylor's version.
Speaker 1We're Never Getting Back Together in 22. You could just listen to that and be like this is Max Martin. You know that's a pop. That's a Max Martin pop song.
Speaker 2Yes, Did he do? I guess not.
Speaker 1What.
Speaker 2Welcome to New York.
Speaker 1Did he?
Speaker 2It doesn't seem so.
Speaker 1That's Red Is that on 1989 or red it's on red.
Speaker 2It doesn't seem that he has.
Speaker 1Okay, anyway, we are stoked for the life of a showgirl.
Speaker 2We are. Here's my thoughts of the podcast.
Speaker 1Oh, yeah, tell me that.
Speaker 2I actually was like smiling and I didn't know that I was smiling, watching them watching because she was actually so good at just like being on the podcast and then them talking about how they got together, like that's not something that has been shared with the world, like we knew that he, you know, made his public declaration with the friendship bracelet. Yeah, but getting like more insight into that was really actually cute and very humanizing.
Speaker 1I haven't seen that part. What is, what is the story there? Do you remember?
Speaker 2Um, she, she was just joking because, uh, Jason brought up how they got together and she was just like, yeah, like he didn't try at all to come meet me at the concert, like he he went to one door like elevator person and was like hey, can I get down there?
Speaker 2or whatever, and they were like no, and then he just was like he gave up because he just thought he could go wherever he wanted because it's his the stadium he plays in, but he didn't realize her uh, security would be as tight as it was. Yeah, but she was like you didn't contact any pr people, you didn't contact anyone to try to get into the tent area, to try to get into, like the vip area. Like you all, you, you did nothing. Yeah, so you just like went on your podcast and was like through a tantrum that you couldn't like get to meet me, but like you didn't try.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2So it was just like a. It was a cute banter of like a.
Speaker 1Oh, that is cute Back and forth, and did she talk about Blake lively?
Speaker 2She did not. But this brings me to did you see the Tik TOK I sent you of the possible halftime Easter egg throughout this?
Speaker 1About sourdough.
Speaker 2About sourdough. Yes, I yes I did see.
Speaker 1What are your thoughts? No, I don't think she's doing that.
Speaker 2So I uh saw this tiktok. I'll try to paraphrase because honestly they made a good point I mean, yeah, no, it was, it was a cute take so this person says I think taylor such is going to be the halftime show performer and she talked about baking sourdough a lot as her new pastime with not doing the tour. And this person said they thought it was an Easter egg because the Super Bowl is being played at the Niners stadium.
Speaker 1And their mascot is Sourdough Sam or something. Sourdough Sam, yeah.
Speaker 2Which? What kind of mascot is that? Truly what? Who did that? That's the mascot. And then she said she's thinking about sourdough 60% of the time and it's Super Bowl 60. I actually didn't hear that part. Yeah, sourdough Sam, hold on. She said she's thinking about sourdough 60% of the time. When she's going on about sourdough, how much sourdough she's baking 60% of the time it's super bowl 60 at the levi stadium, which is where the sourdough sam is the mascot.
Speaker 1We think that she's this halftime performer that is crazy that we're coming up on super bowl 60, by the way yeah I worked at super bowl 50. I can't believe it's been 10 years and it's back.
Speaker 2Oh no, it's. It's definitely not in LA. I don't know why I said that.
Speaker 1That was in San Fran.
Speaker 2Isn't that where the 49ers play?
Speaker 1Oh, isn't it the Chicago 49ers? That's a joke, I know it's the Bulls, bears and Bulls, but Bears.
Speaker 2Yeah, Sardo Sam is the mascot of the San Francisco 49ers. So, it's back there 10 years later, 10 years later beyonce was the halftime performer when I was there good one, good one it was the beyonce. Bruno mars collab one I don't remember bruno, to be honest.
Speaker 1That's the one with the marching band right no, she did twice, two times, like twice in a year, twice in a row or something.
Taylor Swift's Podcast Debut
Speaker 2It wasn't the marching band one, it was the gold I mean, I definitely watched it anyway, also travis said, life of a showgirl is a complete 180 from ttpd, 180s from 180 days from the podcast is super bowl sunday the, the swifties are crazy sometimes yeah, that one's kind, if that's true, crazy coincidence or crazy yeah a lot of work being put in for these easter eggs. Um well, I'm excited I am also excited that would be great if she did the super bowl excited for the album yes, we gotta wait like a month and a half, but that's okay.
Speaker 2I'm hoping she does a surprise at least didn't last time, didn't she announce something, and then it was like six months or eight months later or something, wasn't it a very long time?
Speaker 1maybe a taylor's version of something possibly no typically this is her mo.
Speaker 2It's like six to eight weeks yeah, oh, and her talking about buying her music back and how she got emotional even talking about it. And then she was like talking about how she like went and she wanted to tell him. But he was like in a room playing a video game and she was like trying not to bother him but she had to tell him and so she was like knocking on the door and he was like I gotta, like she was like I, she sounded in distress and so he like immediately like was like I gotta go, guys, and got off the game. And then she said that she just like started crying and like collapsed and it was a cute moment oh, to hear about yeah so I enjoyed her being.
Speaker 2I wish she would go on more podcasts. Yeah, because she was like it was. She was a natural talking. It wasn't like super awkward and like a you know what. Sometimes when you a famous person that you don't ever hear from, then they go on something like that or they're interviewed in some way and it's like okay, nevermind, we don't actually want to hear you talk like you're super awkward and weird.
Speaker 1And so many, and I had so many listeners.
Speaker 2Slash viewers oh my gosh they made so much money.
Speaker 1Yeah, wow um so, on wednesday, I'm doing something that you're gonna think is pretty cool what can?
Speaker 2I guess no what. There's no way two guesses you're going to a premiere of some kind? Oh, hmm, is it work related? It is something at work, but it's something that that I'm doing. That you Do a premiere of some kind? Oh, hmm, is it work related?
Speaker 1It is something at work, but it's something that I'm doing that you would like to do.
Speaker 2You guys are playing company-wide traders.
Speaker 1Okay, you're pretty close, but I'll tell you. I was asked to participate in a BuzzFeed video of Millennial versus Gen Z internet trivia, so I'm on Team.
Speaker 2Millennial oh fun, I feel like you're going be good, here's what's funny.
Speaker 1So the director asked if I would be a part of this thing on wednesday and I was like sure yeah so wednesdays are the day that, like everyone is in the office.
Speaker 2They're all gonna be watching.
Speaker 1Well, no, no, sorry everyone's in office and a lot of times the uh like our internal team will organize like fun things to do, because they also provide lunch for everyone on Wednesdays.
Speaker 2Nice.
Speaker 1And so they'll sometimes do like they did a pie eating contest once. They did wings eating contest they did. They do games and they'll like ask people to participate or like come do this thing. So when she asked me, I assumed that's what it was. I was like hell yeah, A lunchtime trivia.
Speaker 2Oh, they didn't tell you what they were asking you to do. They were just like do you want to do something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, what it could have been anything.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2It could have been a bee stinging contest.
Speaker 1What Is that a? Thing?
Speaker 2No, I just was thinking about something bad.
Speaker 1Yeah, you're right, that would be contest how many bees? Can you get stung by? Um, no, so then I get the invite from, like, our head of video and I was like wait, this is like a. And so they have been building this massive game show, set on stage eight, for like two weeks now. Okay, and that's what it's for for an internal.
Speaker 2Oh, it's a, no, it's a video.
Speaker 1So it's not just an internal lunchtime trivia. It's like oh, I was like well good thing you are well, good thing I asked, because now I have to think about what I'm wearing. I have to be here Makeup ready.
Speaker 2Yeah, you have to be tanned.
Speaker 1I have to be tanned Right. So, guys, I'm going to be, I'm going to versus millennial. We'll see. Wish me luck.
Speaker 2Should we do some practice questions.
Speaker 1Oh my God.
Speaker 2Yes, we should do some practice questions Internet trivia, I feel like, is pop culture yeah Right. Well, it could be internet drama or internet.
Speaker 1Can I be honest? This is why I think millennials will have a handout. Hand up is because they're going to ask stuff that's currently happening on the internet, which millennials were still very much on the internet yeah. And they're also going to ask stuff from when YouTube and stuff was new, I'm sure.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1That would require Gen Z to kind of do research. But we also lived through that.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So I do think millennials might have a leg up.
Speaker 2Yeah, I do think that you might need to brush up on, just like some internet drama.
Speaker 1Meme stuff. Oh, you think drama.
Speaker 2Yeah, because I think there's things that I maybe have like brought to your desk, where you had no idea of that is like a big internet thing.
Speaker 1I do think you would be good at this maybe no, I think did you see the traders? By the way, is letting normal people audition? Yeah, we're auditioning duh oh, okay, I think you would get it if you auditioned you do yeah okay so audition no I'm going to okay, well what are you right now? I'm picking my gel nail polish off, sorry.
Speaker 2Okay, I don't know if this is the type of thing, but this building is the ancient ruin of what popular store.
Speaker 1Are you supposed to show me a picture?
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm trying to Blockbuster Hollywood yeah, yes, blockbuster, okay, these are all pictures that we're going to have to put in this thing. Hollywood, yeah, yes. Blockbuster, okay, these are all pictures that we're going to have to put in this thing. I don't want to do that. We don't have to do this.
Speaker 1I just wanted to share with you.
Speaker 2Yeah, I can't find a good one quickly, but maybe we'll. When is this? Oh, it's next week.
Speaker 1No, I'm shooting this on Wednesday.
Speaker 2Dang it. We Wednesday Dang it. We can't even do a brush up, no, but I can report back and let you guys know how I do.
Speaker 1I'm very excited and I'm sure it'll be a quick turn around. The video will be out.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Look out for me, you guys.
Speaker 2Well, good luck.
Speaker 1God, I hope it doesn't require to do some hard spelling questions.
Speaker 2Like what I don't know, Like Riz.
Speaker 1R-I-Z. Is that correct?
Speaker 2R-I-Z. Is that correct? I don't know.
Speaker 1Two Zs or one, I would put a million just to be safe. You know, be like Riz.
Speaker 2I think it might be two Zs Are you looking. Yeah, two Zs.
Speaker 1R-I-Z-Z. Riz. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I do think you should brush up on some you know who's on my team, though Joyce some, and who's on my team, though joyce, and joyce is perpetually on the internet. So, yeah, I think we might be good unless it's like family feud style. I don't know family feud, family food feud. I don't know yet the the way that the set looks it it I can't tell if it's like a buzzer situation or like a we write our answers situation like are you smarter than a? Yeah whatever.
Speaker 2Fifth grader celebrity fifth grader.
Speaker 1Well, I can't wait.
Speaker 2I'm excited for you, thank you.
Speaker 1Okay, there's something else going on in media right. The Backstreet Boys extended their residency.
Speaker 2Thank God.
Speaker 1I think that here's my, here's my theory. With the downfall of our beloved Justin Timberlake, who's pictured center right there on your shirt. I believe that the Backstreet Boys' success, the success of the Backstreet Boys' residency, is going to inspire NSYNC to do the same.
Speaker 2You think Justin's finally hit rock bottom where he's like all right, you guys, I think he's irrelevant enough now that doing this would be good for his career. It would have been good for his career a long time ago.
Speaker 1I just think it's undeniable for him, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 2I'm just saying, like he, it wouldn't have ever hurt his career. Like he just was being too proud to do that. Yeah, um, but I do, I don't disagree.
Speaker 1Period.
Speaker 2But also I don't disagree Period. But also I don't know, I don't know if we need it.
Speaker 1I would do it, I would go to it. The Backstreet. Boys was so fun.
Speaker 2The time that they came back and performed something together.
Speaker 1A couple years ago, super Bowl or something with Justin.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was good. It was Like they still can dance.
Speaker 1Well, and sing.
Speaker 2Yeah, maybe. And what if they put lance in like super gay attire? What if he was just like in crop tops?
Speaker 1that'd be cute I actually love that they should.
Speaker 2I'm looking at page six to see what other what shit's going down what s is going d you know oh, you haven't started wednesday, you said I haven't.
Speaker 1How are you enjoying it so far?
Speaker 2I will say not enjoying it as much as I enjoyed the first season. But I don't know if that's just because it they broke it up into two.
Speaker 2So I don't is gaga in there yet no, it's only been the first four episodes and it feels like they're doing like a lot. They're like I don't know, it's the way it starts. You haven't watched it, I don't want to spoil it, but it's just like so much more shenanigans off the bat and I feel like it wasn't like that in the first one. Maybe that's just because they were setting up all the relationships, so maybe I'm not giving it a fair thing, but I did hear her say that they're already picked up for season three. Wow, so hopefully it's the. You know, season two is kind of worse and then banger season three.
Speaker 2Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1We have seen that previously.
Speaker 2But I do enjoy it. And then so you know how her love interest in the first got like canceled because he there was like sa allegations. I guess it came out that like the girl said that she retracted it like it wasn't real but he fully got taken off of that show. And then I saw tiktok, that someone like doxxed him and they were like, oh he works, he's like works at this bar in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1Like my God.
Wednesday Series and Actor Updates
Speaker 2Yeah, one trying to make it look like he, you know, isn't doing anything with his life. And then it's just like no, he's just an actor that like, has to have a job on the side in between gigs because he's not in Leonardo DiCaprio level. That doesn't have to do that, right. But like, yeah, foley was like that. He works at this bar in Santa Monica. I go, I was like dang, I can't catch a break. Hopefully it's true that it was not a real allegation, but I do. I will say that I do miss that dynamic Like in the first was he or what's his character's name?
Speaker 2Xavier.
Speaker 1Xavier, that's right yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, cause she had the two love interests the one that ended up being the monster, and then I met that guy. Oh, you have, was he nice.
Speaker 1He was nice. It was at the premiere for Motorheads.
Speaker 2The.
Speaker 1Amazon original.
Speaker 2Nice, he's married. How old is he?
Speaker 1Young gay boy.

Speaker 2I got excited. Wait, what's his name? I don't remember, but I did meet him. You think he's out in In WeHo.
Speaker 1No, no, no. He seems to be living a really comfortable, sweet life.
Speaker 2Hunter Doohan yes, Hunter. He's not giving me a, but he's only. He's 31, he's not that young. I thought you were saying he was like young, young.
Speaker 1Oh, I didn't know how young. Wait, show me him he's. Yeah, has a hubbin. I'm going to have a husband soon. Is there something you need to?

Speaker 2God, so much dead air. His husband's name is Fielder Jewett.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, they're cute together. They've been together for basically their whole lives.
Speaker 2Yeah, I was going to say this is.
Speaker 1Yeah. All I need to see but it's cute I love that for him anyway, I am excited to start wednesday. I will start it soon thank you sorry, sorry.
Speaker 2Yes, of course did you watch haunting wives I haven't, I don't, I'm like scared, i't, I don't understand what's going on there.
Speaker 1I mean, it's hot.
Speaker 2In a like gay way.
Speaker 1There's so much gay, but like lesbian.
Speaker 2For sure, I mean I, I picked up on that Brittany.
Speaker 1Snow, it's hot. Yeah, but what's the plot?
Speaker 2No, like, I just like what is the plot I'm only hearing about, like the sensual side of it, like no one's giving me a plot synopsis it's a murder mystery.
Speaker 1The show okay and you learn that in the first scene okay you see a death and then it's a mystery was this based on a book? It's giving like reese witherspoon's book club or whatever maybe, but it is based on a book and it says that in the opening credits. Okay, that's not a spoiler. It was deeply entertaining and highly erotic.
Speaker 2I have been speaking of.
Speaker 1Speaking of highly erotic.
Speaker 2I have been listening to the last book of the Court of Thorns and Roses.
Speaker 1The graphic novel version.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1You know like there's the version with like one narrator who's like I love you, but then there's a graphic novel version where they have different actors.
Speaker 2Oh, I didn't know that was a thing. I'm just listening to whatever's on Spotify.
Speaker 1I just learned this from Karina, because you can listen to like a one narrator or you can listen to the graphic novel version I'm intrigued.
Speaker 2I'm intrigued and interested you have different voices yeah, they should always do that. I mean, I'm not trying to put voice actors out of work, you know. But that would give voice actors more work that's true more actors voice work, worse, you know um right, I've been listening to a court of silver flames, because is that what it's called?
Speaker 1yes, no such thing as a silver flame.
Speaker 2I don't want just to fact check well, you don't know nesta like we do apparently not I have been over podcast this week.
Speaker 1I'm declaring it and so please listen and watch ours.
Speaker 2Oh, no, yeah, I just mean the ones that I normally listen to they. I just needed a break this week, and that's okay. If you need a break, you know, just always come back.
Speaker 1I have to. I'm also taking a break from one specific particular podcast because I can't handle how often the ads are happening.
Speaker 2It's out of control but they're getting paid, so but they're getting paid, so good for them. So wait, go ahead and finish your thought I was going to say, I just needed a break from podcasts and I wanted to listen to some fiction, if you will, and so I popped on a court of silver flames and it is. It is arguably not arguably it is definitively the most like erotic of the books.
Speaker 1Yeah, and boy, when I tell you listening while I'm like cleaning, it's like it's like oh sorry, are you, do you have headphones in or is this playing through your home headphones?
Speaker 2okay, it's like you gotta sit, it's a lot going on and I'm just like I'm trying, I'm like doing normal things right now and this is what I'm listening to. It's like when people are like pov, you get in a car accident and you were listening to your like you know fantasy book on and it's playing, and when you're like dead out of the car, yeah, I was like if yeah, if someone catches me right now, this is what I'm listening to it feels so wrong.
Speaker 1Yeah, they literally are going to be like okay where's the mob?
Speaker 2Yeah, so fun. That's what has been happening to me. What were you about to say?
Speaker 1Okay, so you know I love Caleb Heron's podcast.
Speaker 2So true.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I died on his latest episode because if you listen to it. So the thing with like a lot of podcasts, some of them are very intentional with where their breaks go for ads yeah, my favorite murder and I love that because then you're not left with like in the middle of us and it'll just stop like that.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's like, and we're gonna take a break now.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, yes or like you, just they. It's like in sections it's this and then this and then this and then whatever. But caleb caleb's is not like. He'll literally be like, and so I was like. This episode is brought to you by. Which I think is or it'll happen in the middle of a laugh or something.
Speaker 2Yeah, but not always on a cliffhanger.
Speaker 1Sometimes it's literally just in the middle of a thought.
Speaker 2Doesn't he read them funny though? Yes, he does, but they're pre-recorded, yeah.
Speaker 1So not always does voices but he'll have a real monotone. But anyway, in this particular episode he literally goes and I want to know if this is intentional. He's has talking to his guest and he's like I don't drink anymore. Actually I don't drink, um, I get high like maybe three nights a week, but I do not drink. This episode is brought to you by angry orchard hard cider. For sure it was on purpose, oh, for sure have a crisp and I'm just like what you literally just yeah, so it does feel like he would be like put that ad right there.
Speaker 2Yeah, he's really really genius.
Speaker 1He really is so funny.
Speaker 2I would like to meet him.
Speaker 1Yeah, he's great.
Speaker 2Have you met him?
Speaker 1No, I have not met him.
Speaker 2I was going to say you said that so.
Speaker 1No, you can tell he's great.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1If you listen to his podcast too, he's just, he's so real. Oh, I thought he lived in wherever he's from. I think he does have a home there maybe, but yeah, he lives in New York. Mbn Must be nice.
Speaker 2Must be nice. I was on a walk the other day and I came across a home to rent in my neighborhood. Too expensive. How expensive, like six grand a month.
Speaker 1How many?
Speaker 2bedrooms, three bedrooms, two baths. Can you drop the link?
Speaker 1Yeah, boyfriend and I are going to look at living together after the first of the year, but I took a photo of.
Speaker 2I took a photo of the address.
Speaker 1And he has said that he would consider living in Sherman Oaks. I mean, you will definitely be like relaxed, more relaxed there.
Speaker 2Well, it's a house.
Speaker 1Yeah, we, we both want to we want to move to be into a home house.
Speaker 2I also would like that wait for you to move into a house.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah I want that for you and for me yeah, I want that for both of us yeah but it's too expensive for me okay, well for you know us I don, we haven't talked about a budget, but I feel like for a three bed, two bath home.
Bathroom Necessities for Couples
Speaker 2I think that it's fair for that amount of rooms, for what I would be looking for would probably be just to be two bed, two bath.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And.
Speaker 1I believe, guys listen, I believe the key to a happy living, such co-living situation. I really believe this separate bathrooms and ample closet space. I mean maybe not as serious for a cisgendered straight couple, but especially two gay men yeah, I'm like what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1yeah, so I guess third bedroom could be office, slash closet yeah, but like bathrooms I will it is I think it's incredibly important actually, or like if the master bathroom was fucking massive and had like double sinks, double vanities, something like that is fine, but I just think like no, I, I mean, you're two boys, I guess, but for a girl it's like we're not we don't want to deal with the shaving supplies, the little stubbles left around.
Speaker 2Yeah, and, and, and, then vice versa, like all of your tape bonds everywhere.
Speaker 1And no, I do think there is.
Speaker 2it's like your own private space Anyway you can do your number two in peace, yeah exactly, it's just a private space.
Speaker 1That's just for you. I agree that that is a and then whoever has a nicer shower can be the shower you guys use when you want to shower together. It's so easy to make her blush.
Speaker 2I just think the way that showers are set up it's like someone's losing because someone's freezing. That is literally what he says you need to be in one of those luxurious ones that's coming from every direction. That's literally what he needs to have. Like, you need to be in one of those luxurious ones that's coming from every direction.
Speaker 1That's literally what boyfriend said yeah, he was like. No, like if the shower makes sense for a second person but, someone is always losing.
Speaker 2Yeah, someone's, unless you like to be cold, I guess.
Speaker 1Or you're very hot and you want to be cold.
Speaker 2True.
Speaker 1Sometimes that happens. Yeah, but if you have a shower that's like a rain shower and it's in the middle and it's up and you could, that could work, that's sexy, but here's my thing with a rain shower. If you have a rain shower. You have to have the other one, because if, on days, you don't want to wash your hair.
Speaker 2I know, because that's what I deal with here's. Yeah, I have a problem with hotels that only have a rain shower and you think that we just want to get our hair wet every single time we're in the shower.
Speaker 1Yeah, no, and we don't want to put our hair into a. You want to know something? I bought shower caps for this exact reason.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1My head doesn't fit inside of the shower caps, I bought a.
Speaker 2They don't have extra large.
Speaker 1I bought a huge thing of disposable ones, so what I need is just to get a reusable one, because I have a rain shower. You guys, this is the exact reason why it doesn't have an attachment it has an arm, so sometimes, if I don't want to get my hair wet, I'll just use the arm.
Speaker 2But it doesn't hook anywhere. You could put a hook on.
Speaker 1Hook what? What are you talking about?
Speaker 2To where it would just be at your neck height.
Speaker 1Oh, the hose.
Speaker 2Yeah, the hose, it just isn't that kind of a hose.
Speaker 1If you look at it, you'll see.
Speaker 2I've to be honest, never looked at it.
Speaker 1Whoa Been in your bathroom.
Speaker 2A bunch of times never looked.
Speaker 1I took a bath today, gross, I know.
Speaker 2Sean Kingston was sentenced to three and a half years in prison after a million dollar fraud scheme conviction.
Speaker 1Sean Kingston.
Speaker 2Haven't thought of him in 15 years.
Speaker 1Your way too beautiful. Yeah, what's?
Speaker 2he doing? He's just singing that song over and over.
Speaker 1Yeah, I guess which wouldn't fly today?
Speaker 2What else? Because they bleep out that word on the radio.
Speaker 1Which word You'll have me?
Speaker 2Oh, right, right right, forgot about that. I don't actually care about this. Okay, well, moving the fuck on, I just saw that headline and I thought it might be cool, but I don't care.
Speaker 1I have a question for you, please. I came across the TikTok for the service offered in Las Vegas called Mile High Club, and it's a service, a company, that will. It's a small airplane that houses just the captain, and then there's like a queen bed and it's all set up so that you can literally go up and he flies around for however many minutes you pay for to have an intimate connection with your partner I have seen this what do you think about that?
Speaker 1I hate it okay, I do too. I, I think. First of all, have you ever been on a small plane? Kind what why are you not that small of?
Speaker 2a plane. Well you you know my uh relationship with small planes.
Speaker 1No I know, but have you been on a small plane?
Speaker 2not that small okay.
Speaker 1So I have been on a plane that small and you feel every single thing, every tiny dip, every the engine is loud, like it's not like on a commercial, when a soak can go up there Maybe. But on a commercial plane, like once, it's steady. It's steady Like you kind of forget that you're like on a plane, right, so you hit turbulence.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Mile High Club Service Critique
Speaker 1But not in a small one like that, and it's just like yeah, so loud too. And the chances of hitting turbulence. And then what if you're like, what if you're in?
Speaker 2a compromised position.
Speaker 1Exactly.
Speaker 2I think it's weird on so many levels. I think that it's not worth it just to say, oh, we're in the mile high club Like I. It's not giving what you think it's giving.
Speaker 1It does make sense that it's a service offered in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2I will say yeah, I don't like that. It's like they just go fly around I I. I would like it better if it was like you actually are going from a destination to a destination oh, sure that would be fun.
Speaker 1And also, have you seen the videos where it's like they film the couples getting off of the plane and their reactions?
Speaker 2it's just no.
Speaker 1I think the ones I've seen were fully promotional, like not the videos that are on the page now are like couples getting off. Be like. I don't know, I don't think so actually, and also, just feels gross, Like I don't.
Speaker 2how do I trust that you've cleaned everything sufficiently?
Speaker 1A hundred percent yeah.
Speaker 2I don't like that.
Speaker 1Anyway, just want to ask.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm not a fan and I don't think it is giving what people think it's giving. I think that if some, if you were like oh my god, guess what we did, I would be like, yeah, I wouldn't be like, oh my god, that's so fun and cool. But if you were like you know, we were on a private jet, that was like super expensive and taking us to our yeah, going to cabo for get like I would be like oh, that's like sexy and cool. Yeah, different vibes for sure.
Speaker 2This service what you're saying is making me feel like this service is like staying at a motel yeah version of joining the mile high club yes yeah, okay it's like the super eight yes sorry y'all anyway, sorry if you've done that good, I mean if and if you have done that, I'm happy.
Speaker 2I'm happy for you period sounded super genuine if you're happy I'm happy for you no, I am, I just wouldn't do it myself. But like do you? I can't stop whatever do you? I'm just gonna shut up because that's not what I mean. I'm not seeing any headlines that we care about.
Speaker 1Great, unless they're political. There's a lot of political headlines, but we're not going there.
Speaker 2No, I can't. I'm too. I'm burnt out, I'm burnt out Period Birthdays. Birthday. Well, let's do.

Speaker 1I went to this restaurant here called Sycamore Kitchen twice last week. It was part of our shoots and they have a Rice Krispie Treat cookie and I know what you're thinking. Actually, I don't know what you're thinking, but it's flat like a cookie, incredible, and it's got Rice Krispie Treats in it and marshmallows, but it's not thick.

Speaker 2Okay, but then she's in.
Speaker 1Big Trouble.
Speaker 2Good Trouble. I loved Good Trouble I don't know if it's still on or going or whatever which reminds me, because in Good Trouble they live in this shared living experience that's in downtown LA, supposed to be yeah, to be yeah, and that just reminded me that I watched a documentary I didn't finish it about the hotel whatchamacallit downtown where the girl was found in the water oh yeah and it's like deeply haunted. And then there's yeah, what hotel is that?
Speaker 1again, I don't know, but I know what you're talking about. You watched a documentary about the people who are drinking body water.
Speaker 2Yes, yeah, it's fucking gross oh, I almost said hotel cicero, that's in lip shit the cecil hotel the cecil hotel, yeah and I didn't know that there was a the way that. I don't know if it's still this exact same thing, but this happened in like 2017 or something, where the girl died. Yeah, the way that people were staying in this hotel is because they there's some like housing law that, because people were staying in this hotel, like living long term, there's some housing law where they couldn't kick those people out, and so they had to make half of the hotel into a hotel and had to leave the other extended living or whatever for all those people. So they just renamed that part of the hotel something cute, that part of the hotel something cute.
Speaker 2So when people would search for hotels in los angeles this other hotel that looks really nice like they were like, uh, they interviewed people who were staying there the same week that the girl went missing and they were drinking the body water and they were like, yeah, like we found it online. Like, like everything looked good when we got there. The lobby is gorgeous, like it looks so luxurious. And then, as soon as you step in the elevator, it immediately goes back to like the 1980s and it's dirty and gross and whatever. And then you go up every floor and everything is disgusting. So they just made the lobby look good and they rebranded for the hotel side so that when people find it online it looks good.
Speaker 2So that's how people were staying there. I was flabbergasted.
Speaker 1It's also the inspo for American Horror Story Hotel.
Speaker 2Yes, and I watched like a really bad horror movie. That was like a parody of YouTubers who go to you know what I'm talking about.
