Ever found yourself oddly attached to a snack as simple as a Triscuit? We have a LOT of different things that raise our dopamine levels and in our latest podcast discussion, we're confessing ours—from pizza-flavored nostalgia to a newfound love for cottage cheese. We cover that glorious feeling of filling up numerous online shopping baskets only to come down from that high when we check our bank balances.
We strip down to the bare essentials, sharing the swoon-worthy sensation of an outdoor shower and the sweet victory of an Easter candy binge. It's a heartwarming and hilarious trip through our personal self-care routines, the memorable fluffiness of a dog that chooses you over their owner, and the cozy embrace of a well-loved blanket. Tune in, laugh along, and perhaps you'll relate to some of those dopamine hits that can turn into self made cream cheese.
And welcome to oh hey, adhd. Today our topic is dopamine hits, yes and um, but first, our first dopamine hit is we are drinking a fine wine a fine do you want to have? I have no idea what the fuck this is circumcision.
Speaker 2A nice 2017 circumcision it's a circumcision wine and it's a whoa it's a, it's a Circumcision wine and it's a whoa.
Speaker 1It's a blend A blend it's a red blend, Ooh a red blend. Red Grenache, cargnen, syrah, syrah, syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Oh oh, la, la, la la. I also am taking speaking lessons and reading lessons. Reading is hard. I'm not saying any of these words, but yeah, no, I wrote down some dopamine hits because I knew if I didn't write anything down I would sit here and forget everything.
Speaker 1We just talk about bullshit and not make any sense, which will still happen. But my favorite is my first one. I'm already laughing. Triscuits, just straight up. Just the cracker. First of all, this is my dopamine hit, what we're doing right now.
Speaker 2Yeah, I really needed this. I need this so bad.
Speaker 1Last week was absolutely horrendous and I needed this desperately. To fuck around and laugh at you, but what's the um?
Speaker 2what's your?
Speaker 1Triscuit hit. So do you like? Do you get like obsessed with like things? Yes, like food, especially Duh. I can't stop eating Triscuits and they just fill me with joy Straight. Like plain Triscuit, just plain Triscuit.
Speaker 2But do you do something with it?
Speaker 1Like do you dip it, do you put some cheese?
Speaker 2with it.
Speaker 1Lately. It's just been plain. However, sometimes in the morning I have a bowl of cottage cheese with triscuits and sometimes I dip and sometimes I just eat them like in tandem. But when I was in like high school I used to make pizza triscuits. It was like yes, it was like on the packet lunch. It was like try this recipe get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 1What is a pizza triscuit? So you take your triscuit and you put a little bit of marinara, yeah, and then you put you sprinkle some mozzarella cheese I always sprinkled a little bit of oregano and then you put them in the toast ramen. It's like a fucking bagel bite, but like healthier.
Speaker 2Those are phenomenal.
Speaker 1I haven't. I haven't dove that far in, but the dopamine hit you get from that. Whew, Get out of town, Obviously next time. I've never heard of this. Are you joking? I can't believe. We've grown up together our whole lives and I've never had fucking pizza triscuits to myself how dare you what? How fucking dare you? All right guys, Really, really For real. All right, obviously, podcast tonight is I will be making pizza triscuits you can put pepperoni on them. You can do anything. I can't even tell you.
Speaker 2Oh my god, go to your house next time and you're fucking making them and then you'll have a dopamine hit from that, because you're like this is so fucking good. And then you're gonna go home and make them. But I can't. I just can't.
Speaker 1I'm at that point with cottage cheese right now, which you were just talking about, yeah, where, like I, eat it every single day. And now I'm like chill the fuck out, like it's not even, like it kind of makes me a little nauseous even doing it, but I'm still doing it. Yeah, but I'll get to a point where, like, I'll never fucking eat it.
Speaker 1Yeah, you won hot shit, for like I literally didn't eat cottage cheese for like five, six years. Yeah, and then having a resurgence, yeah, yeah, it's like trendy it is. How does cottage cheese become? I don't know, it's fucking weird, but that was like just a straight up dopamine hit, was just like one of my dopamine hits was just like the first bite of, just like a really fucking good piece of food. Just like that first, and then the few times you can actually nail your craving you know, sometimes you're like I don't know what I want.
Speaker 1I'm hungry and like what?
Speaker 2oh, you're like, I'll eat. If you're like I want, I don't know why.
Speaker 1This just stuck in my head when you said that the first bite of a bagel sandwich with salmon and cream cheese, but like with all the fixings like the onion and the, the onion and the capers, yep and all that shit, A lemon juice oh that bite has so many elements to it.
Speaker 2I mean a bagel first bite. That's what I thought. A bite is generally. A bagel first bite is great, but I think you're like I'm hungry and I have this craving.
Speaker 1This is what I want, and then that's a first phenom you just ejaculate, like literally, the cream cheese is now me In the bagel. That's so gross, that might be the grossest thing I ever said. That is gross, but also accurate. You produce enough to make your own sandwich. I probably could after that bite, just to continue. Anyways, I mean obviously a general. Let's take a turn anyways. So, alright, what else? I mean obviously like a general, like I think everyone has the dopamine hit of putting things in cards. Oh my god, that's on mine.
Speaker 2Yeah, like even if you're not, I meant to put it on there, but like, even if you're not buying it.
Speaker 1Just, I filled like four cards. Oh yeah, I fill cards all day, every day, um, and then I delete. I filled like four cards today. Oh yeah, I fill cards all day, every day, and then I delete. Delete or like save for later. I usually just hit X and then I come back and then I get those emails.
Speaker 2They're like you left something in your car. I'm like I know, did you?
Speaker 1want this and I'm like no, I'm just trying to help myself. I just wanted to feel good about picking 45 things out. I wanted to smile for a second. Give me a fucking break. I wanted to feel good about it for just a moment. Um no, that's such a good feeling, though you're like oh, I really need new jeans and then it's like of course.
Speaker 1It's like I put like jeans in. Then I put a whole outfit. I'm like, oh, maybe these jeans will go, these shoes, and then I have like I don't know, I'm 1200 dollars worth of shit in there and I just exit out because I'm like I can't afford that. So because I can't afford all of this stuff, I've now decided also to not buy the jeans.
Speaker 1Yep but it felt fucking great putting together that outfit. But you know, like that dopamine hit is like it's so quick because it's like you get the hit by like putting it in the car each time, yeah, and then as soon as you hit, buy. If you hit buy because most of the time like we're not now because we're both broke, yeah exactly. But if you hit buy, it immediately goes away, it's gone.
Speaker 2It's gone, you're like you're going to get it.
Speaker 1Well, what's worse than when you have to click out on it and you didn't buy anything? And then you're like now I'm sad because I didn't get the cool new stuff that I put in my car and I'm poor. I guess you know it's much stuff to buy because I've been putting off buying stuff. So I keep having this problem of like what do I buy first? So I get really overwhelmed and then I buy nothing, yeah, but like now that I have a job.
Furniture Shopping and Sunshine Vibes
Speaker 1Uh-huh, Uh-huh. I know I'm spending money before I'm making it Awesome, Awesome. But I was like I need a desk.
Speaker 2And then Paul was like well, what chair are you going to get?
Speaker 1It didn't even occur to me that I needed a chair, Like I was so focused on the desk. Can I tell you about a chair? What? But this is how old we are. Now I'm going to tell you about the best chair I've ever bought in my life. I already bought a chair, oh fuck.
Speaker 2All right, but tell me about it.
Speaker 1But then I'll show you it upstairs. I'll probably that's what I need. Yes, paul convinced me to buy like a fucking normal human chair that's good for lumbar support. I have a lumbar support chair on this way, chad calls it a fat girl chair, because that's what it looks like, but it's fat because it's. It's literally like this cushion right here.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's literally wide because you're supposed to say that anymore. Oh, I don't know, I don't know You're probably wrong.
Speaker 1I don't care, but crisscross applesauce For Kent White. With Kent we say crisscross applesauce. You're supposed to sit crisscross applesauce on it, so it gives you the capacity. Is one I like to? Yeah, the kneeling one, but I like to sit with my leg over the armchair. Yes, and then one leg down, one leg up, which my lumber support bullshit chair will do, but I was basically trying to find a cute chair and Paul was like you have to sit in this all day, every day.
Speaker 1Why don't you buy the chair I have? His is obviously so ugly, but it's functional, like it makes sense.
Speaker 2It makes perfect sense, it's practical and nothing else.
Speaker 1Paul is the most practical, the most practical person fucking six hundred dollars, that goddamn chair. So I was like I'm gonna find something better also, mine was only like 30 something dollars. I spent 300 lumber support because I'm also old and everything I do hurts. Now I agree, yeah, but that I had no dopamine hit from that. It's like what paul made me go practice. He didn't. Well, yeah, because you're buying a lumbar support chair and I feel like an old person that's had no dopamine hit from that.
Speaker 2It's like what Paul made me go, he didn't make me well, yeah, because you're buying a lumbar support chair now you feel like an old person, that's like a dopamine, like fucking it's a what's it exactly it's a dopamine punch in the face.
Speaker 1The opposite of a dopamine hit got turned off. I'm gonna give you yeah, I need to see that chair. It wasn't even expensive and it's the most comfortable chair I've ever seen.
Speaker 2I'll probably just buy a second-generation chair.
Speaker 1Yeah, and it's cute, it's pretty. It comes in different colors. I made the wrong choice. It's like linen. It's like this. Oh God, it's a nice linen. Yeah, like what do we do? You should have asked me. I ask me about anything you have to buy before you buy it, because I've literally looked up almost everything on the internet. Well, I can't decide now if I should get a rug for the room you know, because I'm always one foot out.
Speaker 1The door of where we live, because I don't want to live there and I'm like well, in my future home. What if I don't need a rug? And what if it's not the same size? And I don't want to spend money on a rug.
Speaker 2No, Get like a shittier rug.
Speaker 1Yeah, if you want a rug, I would say I'm torn, I'll figure that out. Yeah, and then I was going to get wall decals.
Speaker 2That's a dopamine hit. Those are fun.
Speaker 1Like Go in the Dark Stars? No, what are we talking about? I mean, I wouldn't be against that, you know now like so, like people like wallpapers come back. But there's now like there's these stick on decals that you can put on walls to make it like wallpaper. But it doesn't like I'm in a rental, it doesn't ruin your shit, huh. So like in our old house cam, we put a big whale over his thing and we just stuck it to the wall. And if you pull, it off.
Speaker 2It doesn't like pull the paint off, it's like really yeah, etsy has them all over like they're.
Speaker 1They're cool so I, I was going to buy like a cool design one Like these, big like, not ovals, but anyway like different colors, to make it look like office-y-like but like trendy. Yeah, that's true, and do that. But then I was also like maybe that's a waste of my time. I don't know. I can't decide what to spend my money that I haven't earned yet on. Clearly.
Speaker 2Just keep clearly, just keep putting it in the cart and just see, I just can't. But I was like I do, one day you'll hit buy. I put a new computer in the cart today. That felt good, but I was like I'm not ready for it yet for a new computer. What's gonna happen is I'm gonna hold on to this one for too long it'll break, I'll lose everything and I'll have a full-blown mental breakdown.
Speaker 1And then I'll buy instead of just buying it ahead of time for the job that I need that I need it for. I'm like, oh no, what fucking office chair should I get? What rug should I get? I'm like I need new sneakers to go to work in you know, what rug should I get? I need a, except just our. I need functional work from home not necessary office bound and home bound, it's like so stupid. I know. You know what I need, though, and I need to just and.
Speaker 2I want to go buy it.
Speaker 1And then why do I hesitate on stuff like this? There's a shark handheld vacuum. It's small, it's good for just like, instead of hauling out the vacuum every time I want to do something like you know, especially because Buck's hair is all over the place just quick, like in the corners it's $100 for a vacuum, I was like I'll wait on it and then every day I'm like this fucking hair is everywhere I need this vacuum and then I go to buy it and I'm like $100 for it Wow, $100, though I spent $300 on a chair and $250 on a desk and for some reason I'm like.
Speaker 1Let me let this vacuum situation piss me off for the next seven weeks. Something that would be used every single day, every day, multiple times a day. Yeah so yeah, but that didn't give me the like, don't give me the hit like some good old fashioned shopping would do.
Speaker 2It's practical. That's not going to give you the fucking hit.
Speaker 1You need stuff that like you want, yeah.
Speaker 2Not exactly. It's not a want. It's not a want, it's not a want.
Speaker 1What else was on? Oh well, we've had some sunshine recently. That is nice. I'll tell you what that is exciting. That's an uncontrolled one. That's one that surprises you. Yeah, I walked outside and I was like maybe I do have seasonal depression, like literally, I like hit the sun and I was like you know, this is nice.
Speaker 2You know what Everything's going.
Speaker 1I think I'll be okay, seriously, the sun is a game changer.
Speaker 2You just go for a walk, like sometimes, I'll be pissed off and I'll take bucks for a walk and the sun's out.
Speaker 1I'm like by the end of the walk I'm going to get a good mood You're like all right, I think like we're looking up.
Speaker 2I can do this Things are looking up, things are looking up.
Speaker 1Yeah, sun is a good dopamine hit. It is, and it's like not something you can seek out where, like in, like I can go seek out Triscuits or I can go seek out. Yeah, it's not readily available. No and it's not readily available. I mean, I guess you could buy those. Like again, you could like buy something but you could buy those like fucking. Uh, what are those?
Speaker 1like light like therapy things yeah but like it can't be the same. No, it's not the same. Tanning bed was never the same. I did love a good tanning bed. I've been thinking about that recently. I was like, how nice would it be to stand in a fucking bed, arms up like this, you know, and just get like a nice warm sun hit. I went tanning for my wedding, not like real tanning, actual tanning bed.
Hair Care and Self-Care Dopamine Hits
Speaker 1Like, not a spray tan, not a spray. You went to a tanning event. I went. There's still places that happen to a tanning event. Yeah, they're like fucking deserted.
Speaker 2It's like a fucking ghost town.
Speaker 1You walk in and they're like hello, miss. And I'm like yes, and they're like really, and I was like yes, we don't do spray tan this year anymore. Would you like this name Playboy sticker for your hip? I did it. I put on a sticker, stop it. I did, I'm just kidding, I did, oh my God. But I was like looking, they still have the stickers. Like the same stickers, the same ones, same ones. And I was like do I?
Speaker 2You should have absolutely done that.
Speaker 1I know I really missed out on an opportunity. I was never like okay, so then that's also your like ADHD or like anxiety, I guess, more or less. Yeah, it was all tied up when I'm like if they see me take one of these stickers, they're gonna know I'm like being sarcastic. They're gonna judge me after taking the sticker. I already am like they're judging. They're going to judge me after taking the sticker, but then you're like you also have they have them there, but then I'm like, yeah, they're here.
Speaker 1Does that mean there's someone out there who's still doing?
Speaker 2the stickers.
Speaker 1I hope so I I you know what I do too. I mean, like if you saw a girl in a bikini on the beach and she had a fucking playboy.
Speaker 2I would actually die can we talk?
Speaker 1can we hang out? I feel, like we should be friends you're also probably white trash, but I am in love with you.
Speaker 2They also have acrylic nails and a top and bottom belly button ring top and bottom, maybe a nose piercing, yeah.
Speaker 1But you know what my problem was back in the day when that was actually popular, because I have ADHD and I'm so forgetful I'd always fucking forget. Oh, I forgot. So, like some people would always get like the really deep tan and like the white mark of your Playboy bunny, but I never. I had like a faint line because I'd forget every fucking time to put the sticker on, like you brought it in to you with the bed and there's no, I just.
Speaker 1I'd be like I'm here for tan now and just I'd walk to the tanning bed. I'd be in like with my lotion on, I'm back. Oh, the sticker, fucking sticker. What were the other stickers?
Speaker 2there was the heart, the heart with, like you know, like the heart outline, yeah yeah, yes, I don't know, was there anything else? Star, was there a star? There must be a star and a sun or something.
Speaker 1I'm sure there's a star. I actually think I would find great who's? Not getting the Playboy, though.
Speaker 2That's either the Playboy or the heart.
Speaker 1I think I've done both. I've done the, I've definitely done the heart.
Speaker 2I don't know if I did the heart because you, I'm like I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1I feel like if I, I would get a huge dopamine hit from going to real tanning bed and putting a sticker on. I feel like it felt nice, yeah, but I got burnt. I'll be honest, that shit was. Did you use lotion?
Speaker 2Obviously, obviously. But bronzy lotion, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I mean like zero SPF.
Speaker 1Like whatever. Remember like they had all these weird names for it.
Speaker 2They're like this is Hoochie Mama Lotion. Yes.
Speaker 1You know, like this is like, this will like, put you brown with a hint of copper and you're like what the fuck? I'm going to have skin cancer by next year because of that One tan session. See, that's what I.
Speaker 2I have so many like moles on my body just naturally, and I feel like then I would feel like they're all radioactive.
Speaker 1It was incredible. It was one session I was. I was just going to get a spray tan. It comes off of me Cause I I'm a fucking sweaty Italian bro, Like it. It comes off in my armpits, my armpits and my but no and my knee pits every time, Because I'm like I'm sweating, Even when someone sprays you. Yes, it's so gross, and then I look like I'm diseased. Yeah, so I want to get a spray.
Speaker 2I need something before I go into summer.
Speaker 1Every time I look at my legs, I'm like ugh, I'm white. But then I do this and I was like it never ends at one thing. I'm like I'm going to get like I want to do all these things to myself and then I do none of them. Yeah, I keep canceling my waxing appointment.
Speaker 2I never.
Speaker 1who's ever in the mood to be like oh, I can't wait to get like a bunch of hair ripped out of my vag. Yeah, I can't think of anything worse.
Speaker 2That was a dopamine hit Also.
Speaker 1I said getting like a fresh, like your hair cut and like styled. I don't know why that's like a dope mean here for me, probably because I never do my hair, so I actually get it done and I'm like, oh, I love getting my hair done, I could look pretty if I love getting or even just a blowout like that's so nice to have someone else do my hair and it's always shiny and smooth and yeah, like it, just like you look really good for the day and you're just like I feel good.
Speaker 1Yeah look, I feel great today yeah's a game changer.
Speaker 2Like you walk out and you're just like yes.
Speaker 1Yeah, put on the new outfit that you just bought. Yeah, you're like yes, yes, yes, queen, let's do this, let's do it I feel good. Yeah, I love that. That's a good one. Self-care in general, but there's like levels of to give a good dopamine hit in ones that like like when I get, like when I get a wax, I'm like okay, I'm glad I got it done, but I'm like yeah, you're.
Speaker 1You're not like it's just me, it's so annoying, it's an annoying thing but like, yeah, like getting your hair done or like that's all I do. I'm trying to think of a facial that's like rejuvenating. I don't really get those. Oh, they're nice. Yeah, they are nice. I like when people rub my head, gone, you know, like a good head rub, like at the scalp massage. Yeah, like you know, like sometimes you'll get like a massage, you know, like a full body massage.
Speaker 2Yeah. And they like sometimes not a lot of them do it.
Speaker 1Not everyone does it, but sometimes they really work your hair like in your head. Yeah, they're like using their fingertips and they really like get in there and I'm like mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2Sometimes the shampoo girl at the hair place does it. Oh god, that's rare the shampoo girl when someone hits me with her nails on my scalp and then shampoo.
Speaker 1I'm like, ah yeah, it takes everything in my power not to be like uh, I know Another cream cheese bagel and I'm ready for my bagel and my bagel's ready, but like a good hair. You're right, I forgot about the shampoo girl. That is probably also why I get a dopamine hit from the hair salon.
Speaker 2Getting your hair washed is a really nice experience, even if they don't do the thing, just Getting your hair washed is a really nice experience.
Speaker 1Even if they don't do the thing like just getting your hair washed is a nice like experience. There are supposedly salons, or like not salons but spas that do just head. Like they like wash your hair and they like cleanse your scalp, but then they like give you like a really good head massage.
Speaker 2That feels very intimate and I'm like, hmm, yeah, also, like I'd be very uncomfortable the entire time.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'd be like you have to, like, make sure this is a real person. I'd be so fucking uncomfortable, but I'd also be like this feels really good, but I'm really uncomfortable. Yeah, it would be like a mix this brings up. This is something this was like on one of the topics we had or somewhere, but like and this can't be a whole podcast on it, but or could it. I mean maybe Like when you are in the chair getting your hair washed eyes open or eyes closed?
Speaker 1I never know, dude, I don't know what to do. I like, I'm like.
Speaker 2I like, I like bling dentist chair, eyes open or eyes closed. I went there the other day I had no idea, I don't know, and I was gonna ask.
Speaker 1But then, stupid, what's the protocol like? Is he expecting me? And then he's talking to me. I'm like I can't, you know, so sometimes I'll just peek and I'm like, okay, I just keep eyes closed. But the whole time my eyes are closed, I'm going, I know, and it's the same thing.
Speaker 2It's any of those situations where your head's back and someone's working on working on your head or your mouth area whatever, I never know, we should ask somebody.
Speaker 1I need to ask any dentists or hairstylists out there to our followers. Yeah, please message us. Yeah, what do you want? I feel like the hairstylists want eyes closed. If I had to take a wild guess, yeah, but why would the dentist want your eyes open?
Speaker 2But they talk to you. What are you going to do? Sometimes they're like, yeah, but that light's like shining my eyes.
Speaker 1Can I just close my eyes?
Speaker 2But then sometimes.
Speaker 1I've been at a dentist's office and they have TVs on the fucking ceiling. So feelings and then they obviously want your eyes open yeah, but last time I went. You had a tv and I just looked at the tv because I'm like I guess that's what they want you to do. Yeah, also I went to one where it wasn't like a like they put like goggles on you and in the goggles was a show. They were like what show do you want to watch?
Speaker 1I'm like now, that was my jam, because then that's virtual fucking like I reality no, yeah, but just like I was just watching Friends, but like it was in the goggles, I'm freaked out.
Speaker 2That was amazing, do you?
Speaker 1want to know why. Because I didn't have to worry about if I was supposed to open or close my eyes. But how close was it to your face? It was okay, I don't know, it didn't feel weird. No, I mean, obviously it was quick.
Speaker 2No, it was great.
Speaker 1Yeah, I loved it. It brilliant, all right. It was basically like um where's that virtual reality? Type goggle thing. But like just played tv, I do like that it was fantastic why don't they have that everywhere?
Speaker 2I don't know yeah, well, yeah that brings up a whole another can of worms. That's, that's a thing for another day. All right, anyways, what else you got?
Speaker 1anyway. One of them was a sick burn Just straight up, or winning a fight your argument, even if it's not with the person you mean, alone in the shower afterwards, yes, but like if you're at a fucking party. Or like if you're like not at a party, like because we're adults, no one really has parties anymore, but like if you're around a group group of people and you just make a really fucking sick burn.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, that feels everybody.
Speaker 1It just like dies laughing, don't you feel like you're like I'm fucking invincible yeah, I can do anything.
Speaker 2I'm like, it's like a fucking cocaine hit for me.
Speaker 1That, oh my god, absolutely like it would be like a bump of cocaine if I drop something and everyone laughs and but then it fuels me and then I'm like then my brain starts really turning a mouth, but then you ruin it, because then you make 17 more jokes, because you're like I'm on fire.
Speaker 1I don't know what to stop, I don't know what to stop. Yeah, Like I'm on fucking fire right now and then it's like one of them is going to not hit. Yeah, in a row there was one night I was just like, and I fucking was like everyone was dying and then at one point I just like made a stupid one and everyone like just got silent.
Speaker 2And I was like well that was a good run. It was a good run for me.
Speaker 1Yeah, that is a good feeling.
Speaker 2Right, it was really good I just felt like sick, sick burn.
Speaker 1You want to hear the best one.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1I started off with just puppies or dogs, because Obviously there's nothing that makes me feel better than going on Instagram and going through dog rules.
Speaker 2Just yeah, looking, but also seeing them in person, let me give you a fucking one-up dopamine hit for a puppies-dogs scenario?
Speaker 1There is. Is it cats? Is it ducks? No, like a fucking one-up dopamine hit for a puppy's dog's scenario. There is one. Is it cats? Is it ducks? No, Ooh ducks. That's a whole other topic. That's ducks, that's a whole other. That's not even a dopamine hit. That's again like a cream cheese bagel for me.
Speaker 2That's another podcast. I wouldn't even include it in this podcast. I would just make a ducks podcast.
Speaker 1We need a whole podcast about ducks, because I can't take it anymore.
Speaker 2Okay, Anyway, anyway, one upping dogs.
Speaker 1In the genre of puppies and dogs. If you are at, if you are out and you see a puppy, or dog and it chooses you instead of their owner. Is that not like the best fucking feeling in the world? It like runs to you and I'm like, literally I could die right now. Do you remember that cloud dog At the?
Speaker 2gym.
Speaker 1Yeah, I have a picture of it coming up to us and I was like I've never been more happy. I look at it constantly. That was the fluffiest fucking dog. I relive that moment, yeah, every day. The joy, oh my god, it feels so good. It felt so good. Bucks doesn't even come up to me anymore, it's my own dog? It doesn't matter, though, when it's your dog.
Speaker 2It feels better when it's someone else's dog. It's someone else's dog. That's like I choose you.
Speaker 1Yes, you, you're the one that needs to pet me right now Me, are you then you're like it's a pet me right now me, are you fucking kidding me, man, me, oh god, that feels so good I know that's like I'm gonna chase this high the hit. I mean just seeing a fucking puppy, though seeing a puppy will just it makes no sense to my brain.
Speaker 2No, it's short circuits yeah, I lose my on a puppy.
Speaker 1I just drop to the ground. Usually I cry. I was like you go, like your voice just goes it's like you just lose all control of your bodily functions. I'm like, yes, yes, I do I know. I'm like I just can't even take it, puppies.
Speaker 2I never want one, though they're so cute Everyone else's puppies are great. Yeah, they're rough.
Speaker 1They're rough too. They're so fucking cute little puppy breath little stickers and they have those little teeth and they do a little like and they try so hard to like jump on something and they're like oh, they're so stupid, they're so dumb, they're so cute.
Speaker 1I love them yeah, you can't really top that. That's like the highest. I think hit the highest of high. Yeah, let's see. So this one makes me laugh because this is new Seen ducks. Once on here, by the way, just seen a duck. I think I can't leave this earth without owning a duck. It's not possible. I have to. My mom owned a duck. What? My mom had a white fucking duck growing up. Where is it, daisy?
Speaker 2And where is it and where is family? Why would you not just keep reproducing it and bring it into the family, Like why would you not? Because my mom, like, hates all animals because they're messy.
Speaker 1What about ducks? They can't be that messy. They definitely are messy. Really, I feel like shit all over your place. Shit, yes, they shit. I feel like I can't imagine a duck sitting. It's fine, he can shit wherever he wants. It's cute, they're so funny. They're so funny. Ugh, anyway, you just waddle around Ducks. Oh, my god, put it in your pocket. Ugh, a little white duck, I want a black one, I want an all black one. Yeah, you would All black. Black, beak Black, everything, all black air.
Speaker 2All black air thing.
Speaker 1You can just go shopping for one online and put it in your cart. I have, I'm not kidding, I've actually adopted a duck and it's in the cart and I haven't hit submit, do it.
Speaker 1Chuck won't let me. He's the worst. He ruins my life, take it, take it. So I put my blankie, like your specific blankie. So I don't know what happened, but Do you still have a blankie? No, this is not a kid blankie or Cam's blankie or anything like that. So basically, my mom bought me this really soft blanket, like, like, so soft, the softest thing you've ever felt, literally this year. Oh like for an adult. It's not a blankie, it's a. It's a throw blanket.
Speaker 2That's what it started off as yeah.
Speaker 1So one night I was like a little cold and I was like, oh it's right there at the end of the bed, like it's really decorative purposes. I didn't intend it to be used as a blanket. It's so nice. I didn't want to like ruin it, so I pulled it up and then I was like petting it. I was like, oh, this is so nice. So now, every night, I can't like sleep without it.
Speaker 2I can't like sleep without it, I can't sleep. Without it, I literally get.
Speaker 1It's like chenille yes, kind of no, not chenille, though Like the fur, but that's not like faux fur. It's not faux fur, it's like between faux fur and like I don't know what to describe it. It's so soft but you pet it like a blanket, but it's like it's kind of it's like it's kind of it's fur like, but like that really synthetic soft soft fur and it's, and it's green, because my green green is my other obsession lately, yeah and but yeah, like I, just so I don't even put it on me to keep me warm anymore.
Speaker 1I tuck it, hold it. Hold it like a little person. It's my, I'm 40 years old, I don't know.
Speaker 2I never had, like I didn't have a blankie.
Speaker 1As a kid I would like sleep with my stuffed animals and stuff, but like my mom was like you never had anything you want attached to. I was like I don't know what happened at 40. But, like every time I lay down I'm like I'll get, I will like I'll you know. When you fully lay down, you're like, oh, I forgot, I have to go pee, I have to go do something. I'll like, lay fully down, I'm like I need my blanket.
Speaker 2I don't know what happened, yikes, but it makes me feel so good.
Speaker 1Yeah, and then in the night it's always like wrapped around me and you know you wake up I'm like, hmm, it's still there. It's so weird. That has to be the weirdest new thing, that's happened to me in a long time. But it feels so good and it makes me really happy Like it feels so good and it makes me really happy, like I lay down and I bring this little blanket up.
Speaker 1It's like cozy. It's so cozy but it's also comforting. Yeah, that's me at 40. Cool, I'm telling you that was a rough one to hear that was a rough one to share.
Speaker 1That's a rough one. It took a lot um. So are we still well? Are we still friends? You're like and scene. I think if you have a therapist you should probably talk to them about I have an appointment tomorrow. Yeah, maybe I would bring up the blanket conversation. Be like, you know what, I'm gonna give you the blanket, and you're like you know what I? Get it. Yeah, it's so soft. Um, anyway, to get off that topic because that's weird, what about freshly cleaned sheets right out of the shower? Like you?
Speaker 1get a nice shower into fresh and clean sheets and then you just start like everything's clean. That is really nice. I love, yeah, fresh sheets and then, oh, we just change our sheets today, but I'm not. I feel like I should shower and home just do it you have to. I do love a good night, like I shower in the morning now more often than not.
Speaker 2I love a night shower.
Speaker 1I was always a night shower and then I transferred but I don't shower right before bed because Paul's early in the night. I usually shower before dinner because I like to eat clean. Okay, you're gonna make fun of me for my blanket and you can't eat without being clean. You fucking weirdo. That is weird. That's fucking weird. I don't like who takes a free dinner shower. I like really feel like I can't enjoy dinner unless it's clean. It's strange. It is very strange. We both learned something new about each other today.
Speaker 1But, you know what? I think it mostly just got onto my routine because I used to like go to work and then I would go to the gym right from work and then I would obviously shower when I got home, because I went to the gym and then I'd eat after the shower. And then I started, I think just it just snowballed and like then I started being being like I literally cannot eat, and it's not even like lunch or breakfast, that's fine Like you cannot eat dinner, because also that's the beginning of the day, so I feel like I'm not that dirty yet, yeah.
Speaker 1But if I'm at the end of the day and I haven't showered and I go to eat dinner, I'll be honest, I feel odd If I don't shower to eat dinner. I'll be honest, I feel odd If I don't shower. Wow, that's a weird. Um, yeah, that was like a.
Speaker 1Pavlovian, I think, thing I set up for myself that might be worth talking to the therapist about. That is probably worth it. I can't eat dinner without being clean. I don't enjoy it. It's not that I can't eat it, it's that the whole time I'm eating, I think, am I clean enough to be eating right now? I have like the opposite, like I like, I love a good shower once I'm in it, but I hate the process of I hate showering yeah, I kind of hate showering yeah, and like I used to go to the gym and I was like good, I would go.
Speaker 1I'm always a morning gym person and obviously if I'm going to work and someone's shower, but like if it was a Saturday, I would go. I'm always a morning gym person and obviously if I'm going to work and stuff I'd shower, but like if it was a Saturday, I would go to the gym, run A-Rains, get my sweat, I would go get something to eat. I had no problem. Well, now I'm a morning gym person. Yeah, and I will. Literally I'll be fine all day after.
Speaker 2But I also love a shower, so I will shower twice in a day. Yes, yeah, ugh, no, oh my.
Speaker 1God the effort. I hate showering and I fucking hate brushing my teeth.
Speaker 2Me and Paul are the same on that.
Speaker 1Yes, you guys are the same, paul would shower four times a day if he could. I Paul was like if he's eating dinner, and he's like oh, you know.
Speaker 2Sometimes when I'm bored, I'm just like, well, I guess I'll just go shower.
Speaker 1I dripped a little bit of dinner on my sleeve, so I'll go shower.
Outdoor Shower and Easter Candy
Speaker 1I'm like, what the fuck Like, what Like? If I like we went to the beach, my mom was like Paul's showering twice a day, he's like, yeah, he wakes up and showers, then we go to the beach and then he showers after the beach, I am like, oh, I went in the ocean, I'm good for the next couple days. Have I ever refused to shower in my nanny's pool? Yes, yes, yes, oh, my God, I forgot about that. Do you remember how that is? It was like a bath. Yeah, that's so odd. That is really weird.
Speaker 2I think that was the only thing, the only pool and wash it.
Speaker 1I don't know why she liked it Also, I think because Nani was not so clean of a person and I would see her do that and I would be like, huh, well, that seems easy enough and it's fine because I'm still in the pool. So I'd be like I don't have to shower after it because I showered in the pool. Yeah, I forgot about that. That's a good one. Do you know what else is dopamine? Hit though An outdoor shower Talk about cream cheese?
Speaker 1Don't even talk about it. I don't understand people who have a shore house with an outdoor shower and choose to shower inside. I'll never understand it. Never understand it. What?
Speaker 2are you?
Speaker 1doing. You have an outdoor fucking shower, get outside. Oh, I love an outdoor shower.
Speaker 2When we go to.
Speaker 1Amanda's for that weekend.
Speaker 2I literally like I showered outside there.
Speaker 1They're like well, we'll just see. I was like, and their outdoor shower is like huge.
Speaker 2It's like huge and nice.
Speaker 1I'm like why would you not shower out here? I would shower out here every fucking day of my life. On our honeymoon we had a dual outdoor shower, so like shower heads on oh stop.
Speaker 2It was basically like a deck.
Speaker 1With like two heads on it, with two heads on it and then it was like the'd be on the beach all day. We'd shower before dinner and then, like the sun would set in this beautiful Caribbean island. That was like that was prime. That's way too much. That was the best outdoor shower and like best thing ever in the world. Yeah, huge, it was amazing. I don't know.
Speaker 2And that was the only shower in the room. There was no other option.
Speaker 1What is it about the outdoor shower? I don't know.
Speaker 2Why is it better it?
Speaker 1feels so good. Even shitty outdoor showers are better than indoor showers. I would do just a fucking nozzle on a wall. It doesn't even have to be enclosed. I'd be like this just feels so fucking good, it's just so much better, it's superior. Yeah, there's something about it. I think it's because you never. It's so far away from your everyday.
Speaker 1Yeah maybe, and like being outside is nice because, like, when you're outside taking outdoor shower, you're in a place with like a breeze. Maybe, yeah, you know you're already in a place that's like a vacation type place or a relaxing type place or whatever the fuck it is Like it's. Maybe that's it, I don't know.
Speaker 2It probably just feels unknown. You know what I?
Speaker 1mean it's exotic, I love it.
Speaker 2Yeah, you're right, Ooh I forgot about the outdoor shower.
Speaker 1I love outdoor shower. Why don't can I just put one in? What are people going to do?
Speaker 2I don't think there's any laws against it. Is there a law against it?
Speaker 1no, it has to be enclosed probably yeah, it has to be enclosed.
Speaker 2It has to be like a public indecency. I mean. I guess you could?
Speaker 1could you walk around your backyard naked? It's like my yard, there's no rules, right? Who would your neighbor complain to? I don't know. Would they call the police and be like my neighbors? Walk around their own yard naked, like there's nothing you have to do? But I mean, I think you'd want to enclose it in general for, like, if you didn't want to fuck it, who cares? There's no rules. I'm telling Chuck to put one in do it, that's gonna be the summer job. I like it.
Speaker 2I'll make it a big one, like a double, make it double. It has to be a double, yeah, double nozzle If you're going to do it?
Speaker 1do it right. Yeah, Obviously. So yeah, you can do some shopping, online shopping for that tomorrow? Yeah, I don't know what else. Do you have anything else? Planning vacations For me? Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2For me, oh yeah, I love.
Speaker 1I love looking at like hotels and like finding good restaurants. You like the itinerary of a vacation.
Speaker 2I love, yeah, I love that I also wrote.
Speaker 1but you're right, I wrote in here. This is probably for another episode, but or maybe not ever. But like Bob sex, I wrote what? Bob sex? Oh Bob, and I don't know why I'm using these terms like sick burn and. Bob sex, I thought you said Bob sex. I'm like who's Bob, who's Bob. I don't know why I mean good sex. Can turn your whole day around. I wrote cleaning. Know why I mean good sex. Can turn your whole day around. I wrote cleaning the fridge Oof.
Speaker 1Or just clean, like a clean Cleaning is something general, but I feel like, for whatever reason, for me the fridge is so satisfying. Like cleaning out the fridge? Yeah, like putting it all out.
Speaker 2Lighting all the cabinets and then reorienting, throwing things out, putting everything back in knowing what you have.
Speaker 1Yeah, wiping all the cabinets and then reorienting, putting everything back in knowing what you have, like, yeah, like a clean opening your fridge to a clean stocked fridge. That's another one, yes fills up the cream cheese bucket can't really do that much anymore because of the fucking prices of groceries.
Speaker 1Paul and I went to the grocery store like three times in a row, like within like three days, like we went to go get like a bigger shop. Then we're like within like three days, like we went to go get like a bigger shop. Then we're like, okay, a couple of like little things we realized we needed afterwards and every one was like a hundred dollars every single time. I was like, I was like we had a big shop and a small shop and then somehow I'm still spending a hundred dollars.
Speaker 2The same exact thing yeah, fucking ridiculous.
Speaker 1And then the only other thing I have, because, because this is coming up what Easter candy? What are we talking? Eminem's Pastel, eminem's? No, come on, that's amateur shit.
Speaker 2Robin Cadbury's Robin's Eggs oh, I forgot you like those and fucking cream eggs.
Speaker 1You love both of those. Oh my god, cream eggs I don't like either. What, not that I'm saying?
Speaker 2I don't like it. How do you not like the?
Speaker 1robin's eggs. At least, I don't think I've tried either one. Oh my god, wait, robin's eggs? You mean like peanut M&M's? No, they're not M&M's, what are they? Cadbury's You've?
Speaker 2never had a robin's egg.
Speaker 1You haven't loved, Stephanie we're having Triscuit Pizza and Robin's Eggs At first you held on to that one, because I would have done that. Robin's Eggs You've never had a fucking Robin's Eggs Cadberries. You can't just type in Robin's Eggs, it's going to come up with actual Robin's Eggs on the internet the. Whoppers, no what Cadberry, cadberry, robin's Eggs.
Speaker 2Mini.
Speaker 1Eggs, mini, eggs, mini eggs, mini eggs, these oh my god, how do I? Know you, then you hate you didn't have a child, you missed out on childhood, which is probably why your makeup scenarios are people dying.
Speaker 2I did.
Speaker 1Yeah, and you've never had a cream egg. No, it seems scary to me, that's.
Speaker 2There's cream in there.
Speaker 1But what's the cream? Who cares? Caramel, it's better not to know. I don't know Because no one really knows what it is. If you open up a cream cake, it's white and yellow inside. It looks like jism. It looks like jism and I think that's what kind of threw me. That is the most delicious jism. I'm not against jism, but like I'm not going to buy jism.
Speaker 2If jism tastes like that, you'd fucking buy it.
Speaker 1Let me tell you and the next time you have regular jism it will taste nothing like that. And then you'll be highly disappointed. Cadbury cream, egg like my mom. My mom's a type 1 diabetic so we did not get a lot of sweets. We never had sweets in the house. All the stuff in our house was like fruit or the healthy version of whatever. On Easter she bought us a four-pack of Cadbury cream and eggs and that was just like to me that was like huge because it was so rare.
Speaker 1Yeah, and the robin's egg. I always call them robin mini eggs, mini eggs In the UK. They're mini eggs. I can't describe to you why they taste. It's just chocolate with a hard chocolate shell, but they taste different than other shit, I don't know why. Anyway, those are the two. And she put jelly beans, she put all that stuff, but I don't know why I like jelly beans.
Speaker 1I like a jelly bean, but like that's nice. But like that's nice. Doesn't hold a can and she'd get a chocolate east. Uh bunny, which is great, also too nice chocolate bunny. I'm not gonna. But like, I mean like the eggs taste better than the regular reese's. I will give you that, yes, the short. Easter candy. Easter candy is like is better, is is top notch. It's us ah. I don't like peeps, no too sweet all right, I say that too sweet.
Speaker 1When you, if, when and if you ever try a cadbury's cream egg, it's the sweetest, wildly sweet. But peeps are sweeter to me. I'm not a peeps person. Yeah, could never get into peeps I like a peeps nance, didn't like peeps either, so they were never in our easter basket, but but Easter candy, you are right. Easter candy is the elite Upper echelon is the elite of candy yeah.
Speaker 2I was actually in.
Speaker 1I never thought about it, I was in Walgreens today and buying like something like I actually had to buy nail glue because this nail fell off. And then I was like, alright, I'm gonna get a cream egg, Fuck it. But then I couldn't find they only had they only had the mini cream eggs. I was like no, I want a big, fucking regular size cream egg. I was pissed well they don't have walgreens fuck, you're listening step up your shit, fuck you.
Speaker 2How dare you did cvs, have it their competitor I didn't check, should probably check.
Speaker 1Clearly I'd post, I'd be, like usually there's just like a basket in the front, like like you know impulse buys, which I love.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's what I was looking for.
Speaker 1I'm like where's your impulse purchase Clearly and.
Speaker 2I'd post.
Speaker 1I'd be like Usually there's just like a basket in the front. Like you know, impulse buys, which I love yeah.
Speaker 2That's what I was looking for.
Speaker 1I'm like where's your impulse purchase section? Oh my God, it's the worst, I always buy it. Or like Sephora Ugh. Or like HomeGoods.
Speaker 2HomeGoods, homegoods, words they're in.
Speaker 1TJ Maxx. I was like oh, I do need these, like massage socks.
Speaker 2You know I'm like I definitely don't, but I do now that I'm here.
Speaker 1I don't need any of these. I'm like. Everything in this aisle is a great idea. They do it at the end.
Speaker 2They know.
Speaker 1They know Because they're like you're waiting in line and you're going to find something. It's geared towards our brains. Yeah, like I need another fucking. What are they called Like hot mitts? Yes, I'm like I need them. Yeah, oven mitt yeah. One's an egg and one is a piece of bacon. Why?
Speaker 2would I not get these? I 100% need that yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, I need 17 more scrunchies. Yeah, why. More scrunchies, yeah, why? But you have to.
Speaker 2And that feels good too, that is definitely caramel.

Speaker 2I do like caramel popcorn. That's definitely a dopamine hit too, and I'm like I get a little treat.
Speaker 1You know that's so bad Camel, there's always a camel, always a camel, and you know, and scene.
