How do you feed your children?
Yes, this is Soylent Green, because it seems to be like the most logical, logical solution to this problem that we’re all having.
Hi, I’m Annie.
And I’m Elle.
And welcome to our trash parade.
0:22
Hello.
Hello human, how’s it going?
It’s going so great.
I am a living the dream in America going pretty awesome, totally same.
0:39
To you?
Yeah, same.
You know, I’m kind of tired.
It’s been rainy here for a couple days, which has been nice.
We haven’t had rain in a long time, but today when I got up early, I had a list of stuff I was going to do and I didn’t do anything and I took a nap instead for like 4 hours.
1:04
Yeah dude, I didn’t feel I am on that level too.
And I feel like because I feel like I need to tell everybody that is listening.
That I lived my best Courtney Love life a couple weeks ago and I got my party on, drank some alcohol, went to Halloween party, passed out and threw up all over somebody’s yard.
1:32
Woke up in my car under a beautiful, very like mafia wife fur coat at 9:00 in the morning.
I didn’t drive anywhere.
The zone of landscapers.
So that was pretty exciting.
1:48
And then I went you know for Halloween as Courtney loves the next day.
So we call it method acting and I think you know had a couple couple of nights like that during the week and then now I am on your level of not being able to pull it together and essentially like.
2:13
I want to go back.
I thought being, you know, Courtney Love for 48 hours was not so great, but it’s way better than feeling like this.
Yeah man, I I don’t know.
My energy is just totally wiped out.
2:32
But yeah, I don’t know.
I will see how it feels once it gets sunny outside and.
Do you think that time changes fucking with you?
100 per SE.
This has been really bad this year.
Like, I don’t know why.
2:49
Yeah, most of the time, like, whatever.
But this year it’s just like so dark, so early, and I feel like all of my day goes by so fast and I’m doing nothing and I’m like, Oh my God, I’m wasting my life.
Oh my God, I hate that feeling.
3:08
And then you feel guilty because you’re wasting your life, and then you get depressed because you’re wasting your life or you get.
Depressed because you feel guilty.
Actually, that’s how the circle goes and then it becomes anxiety thing and then you become crippled by anxiety and the whole cycle starts all over again.
3:28
I did a little like drug binge.
So I I had like edibles for a good like 2 weeks and I just ate a whole bunch like every day.
And then I took some Xanax for a couple days after that.
3:47
Like, I just don’t want to be like here in reality.
I’m so bored, I know.
When are the aliens coming to get us?
Come and get us.
We’ve been waiting for you.
4:06
Oh, sorry.
I want to go to space.
I want to see a different planet.
I want to see the stars.
Get me off Earth.
I’m bored.
I’m bored.
Just Get Me Out of here.
Right.
And I totally feel that it’s been kind of like same by me.
4:26
I was like.
I was on the checkout yesterday and I was like, fuck it, I’m going to go get some groceries and I’m going to get shit that I want to eat.
Like I was doing like a small trip and like week shopping and I felt like personally attacked by the guy behind me just looking at his groceries.
4:48
I felt like his groceries and him were judging me and.
I see.
Like behind me he has two apples, not in a bag because bags are bad.
They are and then a huge fucking box of fresh strawberries that are sliced.
5:11
There’s like a 2 LB container and I was like man that must cost like $16.00 and he had like a single can of soup and like some.
Protein infused like vegan Creamer and a ficus plant and it sounds terrible.
5:31
Like I’m looking at how like, well, I can see everything he’s going to eat this week.
He bought only what he needed and he had enough money for like fruit.
Like real fruit, like the bougie fruit that they cut for you and charge you two times as much for.
And a fucking ficus plant hug.
5:48
On my side of the divider I have a slice of Oreo cake.
From like, the worst fucking bakery ever.
Because HEB’s pastries are terrible, but I want a cake Walker, shortbread, cookies.
I also had two things of Noosa.
6:07
I also have macaroni and cheese, a thing of HEB sushi, and some candy.
And I was like like, I feel personally attacked right now.
Was like the universe is like.
This is why you have problems.
6:23
Boo like just like I think you’re living your best life to me.
Yeah dude, except for I feel like shit.
I’m sure the vegan does too.
I mean, I don’t even think he was vegan.
6:41
I was looking at other stuff in his his section of the belt and he had like.
Stuff with I think he was just looking for the protein.
Like, I could tell that he was like, maybe I don’t have enough protein in my diet.
6:56
I should have this.
And I was like, God damn, I was like, I used to be one of those people.
Why?
I need to get back to that.
I need to start buying slices of like Oreo cake and like macaroni and cheese like I’m a frat boy.
But it’s I find I’m having a the hardest time breaking my sugar addiction.
7:19
Like, yeah, I just cannot get a grip on it.
And like, it’s super frustrating and I keep trying to like at least eat one meal a day.
That’s not a total, like bullshit meal.
7:36
Right.
Trying to add like some kind of vegetables in there.
And like all I’ve been doing is just drinking like a fuck ton of coffee and like gorging on everything else except like the healthy stuff.
7:58
I feel bad.
I’ve been a lot better with my diet lately than I was maybe six months ago, and eating a lot better quality than I was before.
But like, I have limitations and it’s like, you know, I can’t buy the types of things that I would normally want to eat.
8:22
But like I do, I like sometimes just like need to have a shit load of carbs or sugar for like no reason and it drives me nuts.
But like when you can’t afford groceries, Like it’s a lot cheaper to live off of carbs and sugar than it is to like go make yourself a whole, like a full, like meal of Whole Foods.
8:44
And then that causes anxiety and like issues with scarcity and like all those other stuff, like, yeah.
Do you ever feel like that where it’s just like going to the grocery store is so upsetting, Like, absolute?
Every time I go grocery shopping, I’m upset.
9:02
Yeah, the prices of everything is insane, but not only that, it’s the quality.
Like the quality of produce is so bad.
You know, especially over here like the grocery store arouses is expensive and costs almost the same as Whole Foods.
9:27
But their produce is like garbage.
It has no flavor.
Yeah, like nothing has flavor.
And that’s been like what’s most upsetting to me, Like things just don’t taste like anything or they’re very sweet.
9:43
Things have gotten very sweet to me recently, like mayonnaise.
Why the fuck is mayonnaise sweet?
It.
It’s very weird.
And I’m like, I mean, it’s like I can make all of these things myself, like I can make mayonnaise, but I don’t fucking want to.
10:00
Like I don’t want to make it takes time to have time like.
Chant.
You know, Yeah, yeah, when?
During the weekends, me and Rudy cook together or whatever.
10:16
A lot of times I do the meats, you know, like I’m cutting the onions.
Like this weekend we had like a Mexican all weekend, so I made pico, which means I’m chopping onions, I’m chopping tomatoes, I’m chopping cilantro.
10:32
You know, I got to have limes and I have to do that in advance so it can sit and pick up the flavor.
Yeah, and I’m like for the chicken, like I’m slow cooking it, but I got to put onions in that.
I got to put do like tomatoes and do a whole bunch of things in there.
10:51
Like cooking takes time.
There are easy dishes.
But when you want something like just colorful and full of different, like nutrients and vitamins, like it takes time.
And like, not everybody has that.
11:06
When I’m working all the time, I don’t have time to sit there and like do me some class for like 1/2 an hour.
I’m bullshit, you know?
So it’s very frustrating.
And going to the store, I’m like, OK, like what do I need for this week?
11:24
What is on sale?
That’s first thing I do.
Go to the meats and the fish.
What’s on sale?
OK, if I get this, then I go to the veggies.
What doesn’t look good?
What actually looks like it might have flavor, you know, It’s like this like mental game all the time.
11:43
So.
It’s a lot of, yeah.
Go ahead.
It’s a lot of invisible work.
It’s like taking up all that that mental work in your head all day long, you know?
And you’re just, like thinking about it and every time you like.
12:00
Go to cook something.
You think about how that’s going to affect the rest of the week’s planned shit.
Sucks.
Exactly.
Like if I’m going to get vegetables, Yeah, I mean I already think like this because of doing that work for a long time.
12:17
But like, I think, OK, if I buy this today, are these mushrooms going to last like 2 days or am I going to have to make another trip to come back here?
It’s like this just.
Every piece has this thing because money is not going very.
12:34
Far it’s not.
Before I moved to Texas, I had like a very good routine of like cooking.
Most of the mostly everything I ate came out of my house, you know, and I would cook at least two huge meals.
12:55
A week.
When I say huge meals, I mean like enough for me and Derek.
Have a sit down dinner and then maybe have leftovers for a couple meals afterwards.
And I remember just like my routine, when I had my first day off of whatever my set schedule was at the time, I would, like, get up and I would go to the grocery store and I would just like.
13:17
Feel creative and buy things.
I wanted to eat because food was like, it tasted good to me.
And I could like, be like, oh, I really like these flavours.
And it would be very, like, satisfying to just do that.
And sometimes I would go to the grocery store and get inspired, you know, And I would be like, oh, like this.
13:38
You know, this looks like it would be a fun dish and like.
I could just buy what I wanted and I could buy what I needed.
And while it was really stressful, always being the person that was taking care of that stuff in the house sometimes, but I enjoyed that.
13:54
It was part of my routine and it wasn’t like an overall, like, stressful experience going to the grocery store and now I like.
I find it very hard to cook.
I think a lot of that is because I’m like, depressed.
14:11
But it’s also because I’m like, I can’t just go into the grocery store and buy stuff Like some weeks I’m eating macaroni and cheese all week.
You know like and when you’re like preparing food that like you know isn’t nourishing you but you can’t afford better, you know, and just being like.
14:33
Going to the grocery store is so stressful because you’re just like, is this all going to, like, cost me a shit load of money?
Can I afford this?
And then you feel guilty because it’s like, I want fruit, I want vegetables.
I don’t want to have to worry about, like, am I going to work late tomorrow night and forget to cut that like $3 pomegranate?
14:54
And you know what I mean?
It’s like that kind of thing.
And like meat is like out of the question a lot of the times like.
And it just becomes such a stressful experience because it’s like you’re going to feel like you got completely fucked over after you leave the grocery store.
15:12
You know it’s so much money.
And then on top of that, the entire time you’re in there, you’re vacillating between like, anxiety about your diet and like, your health and then feelings of like.
Obligation and guilt around that.
15:29
Like not being able to provide, like physically pay enough money to like, eat as well as you’d like to and like.
Also just being like, shit, like, do I need, do I need this?
Like, do I need to get, you know, something this week that I can, I live without it like that kind of stuff.
15:52
It’s also very over stimulating being at the grocery store.
I feel like ever since the pandemic, like it used to be like every day you would go to the grocery store and there’d be tons of people around and stuff.
But when we stopped doing that and then we started doing it again, like my brain just is like over stimulated.
16:12
Now when I go to the grocery store, there’s just so much going on.
And like, I shop at HEB and HEB is fucking huge.
Like, I much prefer a smaller grocery store.
This grocery store is so big.
It’s like the size of a warehouse.
16:28
And it’s just like if you forget that you like, miss something, you know, on the other side of the store, it’s like you have to like schlep all the way back to the other side.
And it’s like, I just want to get my things and get out of here.
But.
I don’t know.
16:44
It just takes the joy out of cooking.
And like, I also don’t think food tastes great anymore, especially like, it doesn’t.
It doesn’t taste like satisfying.
I feel like I’m eating and I like.
17:01
I feel like I have a scarcity issue where it’s like I’m eating this and then I’m not going to have anything else and until the next time I can afford to go buy groceries.
You know what I mean?
And it’s just it’s just like a fucking mindfuck.
I hate it.
Like and today I was at the OR.
17:19
Yes, today I was at the grocery store again but this time I did like curbside and I just wanted to get some like I was like maybe I will just like splurge.
I had a little bit of money leftover after like my last paycheck.
I was like maybe I’ll get some duck breasts.
I can’t even find shit that I like to make because it’s HEBI feel like they have.
17:41
HEB is a great company.
Everybody loves them, but like, I feel like it’s in Texas, so there’s like not as much access to.
What we would have had in Chicago or even New Orleans, you know?
So yeah, I’m like, I just want some fucking duck breasts, man.
17:59
What a great meal.
It sounds so good.
We were so spoiled Being in Chicago, I feel like there’s a lot of stuff I can’t get here.
Groceries are very expensive here because our tax is high here.
18:16
Like meat is very expensive.
And like, I don’t know, I I I don’t know if it’s just like where I live and like these stores just like are the end of the line or something.
18:32
I swear the produce is just so bad over here and I get very frustrated, like I’m spending all of this money and like for example, Roma tomatoes.
18:49
Roma tomatoes used to be my favorite fucking tomato and they all taste like nothing for like 2 years now.
I don’t understand what’s going on and like the only tomatoes that taste good are like cherry tomatoes now, but the tricolor 1.
19:08
Those are my favorite.
They’re.
Very expensive.
They’re so expensive and but like, I love tomatoes.
I eat tomatoes all the time every week like I’m buying them.
But when I made the pico this last weekend, I used Roma tomatoes and I was like, no matter like how much shit I put in here, it doesn’t taste good.
19:32
It tastes like nothing, like I taste the onion, I taste cilantro.
But where is my tomato?
That’s so frustrating.
Yeah, it’s really weird.
I just feel like food is like not exciting anymore, you know?
19:48
I know that sounds like such a dumb, vague thing to say, but it’s like, I used to love being like, yeah, I’m going to try this new recipe and like it creative in the kitchen.
Now I’m just like I don’t want to deal with any of it.
Yeah, I mean, you have to plan, you know, like it’s a whole thing.
20:06
I have the time.
So I still, I mean, I was a chef.
So like, I’m still have work.
Some days.
I’m like, I need to cook something crazy.
But I have to, like, plan it.
On what day can I do it?
What day am I getting the ingredients?
Where am I going to get the ingredients?
20:25
Because I will.
I do orders from Whole Foods because their produce is going to be better.
But then that’s like, OK, how much do I need?
A lot of stuff from Whole Foods or one fucking ingredient.
Like, it’s all of these mental gymnastics and like, I just want to cook really good food.
20:43
But even when I was still doing it like professionally, the fucking vendors, they were some crap.
I eat crap vegetables all the time.
There is one produce company here, dude.
21:00
I was like constantly complaining and they were so expensive.
Eventually I was like, can we not order this shit anymore?
Because it’s bad.
Just get it from Restaurant Depot.
You know?
The pandemic messed up our food supply and it has not recovered.
21:21
I think so.
Sorry, I’m being joined.
I am being joined by a guest.
Sorry don’t mean to seem distracted and he seems to have his panties in A twist that somebody’s walking by outside.
21:39
So oh.
Right.
He’s had his moment.
He’s going to go back to his cave now and listen to some Bauhaus records.
Oh man.
Yeah, dude, I thought maybe I was the only one having like, whack a doodle anxiety about like, going to the grocery store.
21:59
I just leave there feeling like defeated and deflated.
And yeah, I mean, I know I’m going to have to spend like 70 to $100 every fucking time I go and it’s just like I shouldn’t have to spend this much every month on groceries and.
22:16
How do people with kids do it?
I don’t understand.
There’s only two of us.
No, maybe we do eat a little bougie because I’m picky.
But like, seriously, on my, like, poor weeks, I’m eating pasta, you know?
22:33
Yeah.
So what would I do if I had kids?
Like, I don’t even know.
How would you feed them healthy?
Yeah, I don’t have any idea.
Listeners, tell us how do you feed your children?
Yes, this is Soylent Green, because it seems to be like the most logical, logical solution to this problem that we’re all having.
22:54
So yeah, dude.
Oh, well, yeah, that’s that’s that.
Man, I guess the grocery store is chaos and it’s not worth fighting all of the mini vans to go there.
23:10
And all the cops, the like, Renta cops on this like weird trike Segway things.
What?
I don’t know why you need like a little Segway for your security outfits.
Oh my God, I spended money to spend it.
I don’t know, it’s just wild.
23:29
But anyways, of cops.
Can we talk about briefly the story out of LA about the four cops who committed suicide in 20?
4 hours?
Yes, that is so weird to me, dude.
And so far this year, a total of nine cops have killed themselves.
23:50
I just the one cop was a retired cop.
He was a little bit later in the day, I think, but three of them were every two hours.
That seems very SUS to me.
That is so weird.
24:08
I mean, it’s awful that like, who knows what happened, right?
Anybody that’s like dealing with the family.
It’s like very, very sensitive issue, obviously.
And like my heart goes out to them.
24:25
Like that’s a really rough thing to live through.
And I don’t know like.
What else to say about that besides like, the fact that, like, yeah, even, you know, this is horrible.
This is not.
I don’t want to like extend this for the family or anything, but I do think it’s really weird that would happen, you know?
24:45
And I’m not, Yeah, like everybody leave the family alone, but like, let them grieve in peace.
But like I personally, as somebody outside of the situation, am like.
That’s really wild.
Yeah, I do think it’s suspicious, but I don’t want to like, yeah, I mean, I just think that there’s been a lot of suicides in the past couple years.
25:13
Jeffrey Epstein.
Yeah.
So I’m like, constantly questioning things now, ’cause I’m like, is it really?
I mean, suicide has been on the rise in the United States for a while and it’s it’s out of control.
25:31
But the government doesn’t really want to talk about how out of control it is.
But I have questions.
I just have questions.
And I’m just wondering how we keep having this excuse of, like, suicide.
25:50
I don’t know.
I want to see how they did it, because that’s really what tells me there’s been some Who was it?
They?
I think they worked for the Clintons.
They were hung, but they also, like, shot themselves in the chest.
OK I still.
26:12
I don’t know.
I can’t get on the like Clinton murder conspiracy theory train.
I just can’t.
I love all of the conspiracy theories.
I am a freak though.
Like, I know I, like don’t believe.
Like I love hearing about them.
26:28
I don’t think that has killed those people.
I just also, to me, like it’s so hard to listen to that because it’s like the fucking right wing talking point mixtape.
Oh yeah.
Like I.
You know what I mean?
26:44
It’s just like definitely think it’s some kind of House of Cards thing.
Like, I feel like when it comes to the government, they’re killing everybody.
I wouldn’t be surprised, dude.
Yeah, I do think that’s really crazy.
26:59
And like, yeah, I don’t want to, like, interrupt the families, like mourning to say, like, I think that’s suspicious, But I do think it’s suspicious.
But I I hope for the best for everybody.
But that’s like really, really fucked up.
27:15
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don’t know.
I don’t know, man.
Do you think we’ll ever find out any more information on it?
I’m sure it’s going to get buried.
So wild, we’ll see what happens.
27:32
Well, on to government news.
I just want to say that.
I’m very hopeful for our future because Jacob Chansley, AKA the Kunan Shaman who you might remember, stormed the capital on J6 wearing some kind of weird dead animal and horns on his head with an American flag attached to a spear.
28:01
He looks like kind of feral in all the pictures you’ll see of him online.
Well, now he is filed a some paperwork in Arizona and I think he intends to run for office.
28:18
So he wants to be part of our Congress.
And I’m so fucking confused and so grossed out.
Like I feel like it took a long time for that image to stop popping up in.
28:34
Like on a daily basis in America.
And now we’re going to have to see it again.
I’ve never been so repulsed by like, a single human being before.
Like, I don’t understand how that guy’s pants are standing up #1 number.
28:50
Like, they don’t make they’re like very, very low.
And he’s not wearing a belt.
So I don’t understand what’s going on there.
I don’t know if it’s like some kind of like costume that his mom sewed him.
And then he has like the fucking Braveheart style American face paint, his teeth all fucked up and he’s like howling.
29:13
It looks like he’s howling in all these pictures.
He has a spear and he’s like dead fucking animal on his head and he’s going around telling people he’s a shaman.
And then the really bad tattoos make everything, you know, even worse.
29:29
And I don’t understand what that one.
Big Tattoo is on his abdomen, but it does look like a giant game piece from the game.
Sorry.
And it’s like, is a universe just, you know, being very on the nose and apologizing to us in advance.
29:44
That’s why he has this, like, tattoo all over his chest.
I don’t know what the fuck it is, but I can’t imagine this guy being, like, in our fucking Congress.
Dude, that’s so scary.
Like.
I don’t know.
30:00
He’s like Encino man, but like not cool.
Like he probably only knows like 5 words.
One of them is Trump.
Like he just seems like he’s like Semi Feral in some way, shape or form.
I think that’s because he like presented himself as Semi Feral.
30:19
What are your thoughts on that?
Well, I I think I have a little bit of hope after this last round of voting.
Ohio, you know, enshrined abortion rights.
30:36
They legalized weed.
You know, a lot of MAGA people have been losing elections.
Oh, the Moms for Liberty.
School war.
They all fucking lost except one.
Yeah.
30:52
Bye, bitch.
I think the reaction of the Republicans, they’re like doubling down on these things that people don’t want.
So I think that shaman is going to Mount Arizona, so who knows?
31:09
But I think that maybe there’s hope that our government is not going to go down the MAGA route.
We I think we just really do need two different presidential candidates like.
31:27
Yeah, I just like Trump.
Being an option is so strange to me.
I don’t.
Know I think it’s really wild that you can, just like I guess in Jacob Chancellor’s case, commit a felony serve time and then go fucking run for office is part in front of our legislative branch.
31:49
And then you definitely have like some legal issues with Trump potentially running because if he does get convicted, there is a lot of stuff in the Constitution that may prohibit that.
32:06
And a lot of this stuff was added after the Civil War.
And you know, if you’ve LED an insurrection, you’re not able to run for office.
But that’s how you interpret that.
So people are already having that debate, but like, he’s going to get charged in one of these cases at least.
32:24
I mean, not charged.
I should say he’s going to get found guilty in at least one of these cases.
Like, there’s too many of them for them to not do something about it.
So I don’t know, man, but you know the idea that, like, a potentially convicted felon could be?
32:46
That is scary.
Oh my.
God.
Anyways, I do find it just, like, really, really weird that, like, we might come to a point where, like, we as a country have to have a conversation about whether a convicted felon can, like, hold the executive office.
33:14
It’s fucking weird.
Well yeah, I had no idea that you could run for office and be a felon.
I don’t know if you can as Oh my God, but STAT is out of control.
I told you he just wants to like mess with all of these pictures.
33:34
He thinks he’ll get a shake up, be able to shake a bug out of it and that’s why he keeps doing it.
But also to I don’t like to use a spray bottle like.
He, you know, I like positive reinforcement or redirection.
33:50
But I found out that that backfired on me because every time he would go to like try and knock one of the pictures off the wall, I would pull the laser pointer out.
So then whenever he wanted to play with the laser pointer, he would go fuck with the pictures.
So I’m like, I’m sorry, but I have to give you a little spray with the water.
34:08
I You’ve just trained me to entertain you.
I can’t.
I’m happy to do that, but not 24/7 on your schedule, always with stat, Yeah.
So yeah, I didn’t know you could be a felon and run because I thought that.
34:30
Why are you not able to vote if you’re a convicted?
Felon.
I think it depends on the state.
I think in Arizona.
You can’t vote until you’ve completed your sentence and you’ve had all of your rights restored.
34:47
But I don’t really know what that means in totality, in its entirety.
But I think for the most part, like most felons can’t vote, and you definitely can’t vote if you’re in jail.
So I don’t know if it’s like a state by state thing or what, but I was just like how can if people can’t in the same position as you can’t vote?
35:11
How are you able to run?
That doesn’t make any sense.
This this country is backwards.
I feel like we’re in like, bizarro America.
It’s not not my jam, Not my jam, man.
So yeah, well, I also see that.
35:28
What’s that fucking cunt’s name?
Majory.
Marjorie Taylor Green.
She’s like losing all of her friends.
She’s a lone wolf again and.
What happened?
Well.
Every time I see MTJ, I’m always like, I don’t know what’s going on with this woman.
35:51
It’s just I kind of tune out because like, everything that she says is worse than before.
I don’t know.
Enlighten me.
I want to hear about this.
She tried to get rid of, I don’t know, one of the secretaries, Secretary of Defense maybe, I don’t know, because I just kind of watched a quick clip of her talking.
36:16
But she’s upset because, like the she failed.
Nobody, like, voted for that shit.
And like, she just thinks that every time you don’t like somebody, you just impeach them from their job.
36:34
And it’s like, this is not how government works.
Like, we do need to tighten things up.
But, like, you can’t impeach people because you don’t like how they work.
It doesn’t mean that they’re doing wrong.
And it all had to do with the border.
36:51
So I don’t, like I said.
I don’t know which secretary like she was.
Calling for like.
She’s calling herself a Christian nationalist and saying that like we’re a Christian nationalist nation and I’m just like nationalism used to be really bad.
37:10
Why is this like now a term that people are using to describe themselves and to self describe and why are we tolerating it?
Because that used to be forbidden like you did not sympathize with.
37:27
White supremacist, the KKK, any of these fucking hate groups.
And now not only like are are candidates free to do that and free to entertain people that speak to these causes or part of these organizations, but now nationalism is like a talking point and that’s part of your platform.
37:47
And we’re tolerating this.
Yeah, like I The word Christian is in front of it.
And you know, we’re a Christian nation is always going back to this religious fundamentalism, so.
Totally.
It’s so gross and like, I’m sorry, but like any kind of nationalism is wrong and you can’t sit here and say that like, being a Christian nationalist makes any sense.
38:16
Like what these people want is an authoritarian regime.
They do not want democracy.
Democracy is not part of the game plan.
And they want like a theocracy which is going to be run in an authoritarian way.
And that is something that we left.
38:36
And you know, we left England for this because we didn’t want to have a monarch.
Not to say that they’re authoritarian, but.
We left because the government was telling us how to do our life and our, you know, our religion and live the way that we wanted to live.
38:57
And now we’ve started America, and now we’re saying we want to be like England again, except for it’s going to be, you know, not a monarchy.
It’s going to be some kind of weird authoritarian regime, and we’re going to have.
39:14
Some fucking problems with, I’m sorry, I’m high and I just like lost my train of thought.
But you’re saying that you want to have a state basically control government.
Like that never works.
And historically, even amongst Christian groups, that never works.
39:33
And I just think like if you were to believe that, you know, whatever, these people on the evangelical extreme right wing.
Circuit right now are saying that like you know, believe whatever their religious beliefs are, that like this is not advantageous to you.
39:51
This is stupid thing to do.
You’re voting and acting out of your own worst interest.
Like, I don’t understand why you would just give over all of your freedom to worship and believe the way that you want to have a relationship.
40:10
Spiritually or religiously or otherwise to the state That makes no sense to me, like it’s so antithetical to what America is.
People are constantly willing to give up stuff in order to have what they want without realizing how much they’re giving up.
40:29
I mean, look at we don’t have privacy anymore.
You know, there’s that one guy who created an app where he could look at an Instagram photo and they could trace it back to where it was taken by looking at surveillance footage.
40:46
Sounds terrifying.
I know.
So like, I mean, and then we’re walking around with these, so people, like always know where we are.
And that all sums back to the Patriot Act.
We gave up so much.
To be secure.
41:02
And now we’re back in war in the Middle East.
Like, get the fuck out.
Stop giving shit up.
These people are there to govern, not to like control.
And they’re just out of control.
41:19
It’s out of control.
Whether it’s like, I get it, you believe in God, cool, but like.
That doesn’t mean that, like, your set of rules are the only correct rules.
Yeah, there’s many different ways to be a good person and to live a decent life.
41:37
I agree.
And I feel like even if you don’t agree with that, from a Christian perspective, it still makes no sense.
It makes no sense.
Like even if you are like, let’s say logically in the extreme extreme side of this, and these are your beliefs, like you can’t, how can you say that that’s Christian, it’s not Christian.
42:00
And yes, I agree, there’s many ways to live a good life, and none of them, like, need to involve everyone else around you making decisions for you like.
Yeah, just makes no sense, man.
I just wish that people who follow these religions.
42:21
Saw what, like the top brass are actually doing.
What are they actually saying?
Is this godly or is this just to control you, your family, Whatever.
Like, we need to start being more aware.
42:37
They’re, you know, everybody’s always worried about, like all the satanic shit and music and all that.
Sure that is happening.
I mean, I’m a big fan of Marilyn Manson.
But he’s casting spells in quite a few songs and when I went to see him the first time, that motherfucker was working magic when he was on stage and I knew it and I was like 13 years old.
43:01
That shit does happen.
But like a lot of people hide behind the guise of God and say like, this is what he wants, How the fuck would you know?
You’re a stupid human.
We don’t know.
Like, there’s a reason we come in not knowing.
43:18
We have to discover.
But I do know that I’m not here to like, listen to some authority tell me what I can and can’t say, what I can and can’t read, what I can listen to fuck off.
43:35
Like, I just need everybody to fuck off for a while.
Totally.
I also think, like, yeah, Manson, definitely fucking crazy, OK?
But I feel like the whole Satanism and music thing has been, like, really overblown.
43:54
Like, I feel like there was such a large, like, satanic panic in the 80s that like, really just and it always, like, starts recycling with another moral panic.
Like, I know there’s like some really dark bands out there, but for the most part, I think a lot of it is just like metal aesthetic and like kind of part of the show.
44:15
You know what I mean?
It’s not real.
And like people will read into things that aren’t satanic at all, that, you know, have no association with that and try and like put that kind of, you know, spin on it, which I think is crazy.
44:35
I think that happens.
But I also think like, you know, we the right wing is always like complaining that music is satanic or has hidden messages or whatever.
And a lot of the times it’s just like not there.
It’s like never there, you know.
44:52
But I feel like for everyone, Marilyn Manson that you have, you have like 50 fucking crazy right wing people that are in some position of influence whether we’re aware of it or not.
45:08
And in my opinion their beliefs are satanic.
And when I say satanic I don’t mean like worshipping the devil.
But if you go back to like some of the like more libertarian almost qualities of some facets of Satanism and if you read like The Satanic Bible, it’s all about looking out for yourself and #1 and like not having any loyalty to other people because like you are the one in charge.
45:44
And I have always noticed that there’s like a lot of like libertarian leaning philosophy in the Satanic Bible and some of the verses, I shouldn’t call them verses, but like some of the writings out of them seem like they could be right wing talking points.
46:01
And I know that there’s like a difference between like people who are involved in that type of Satanism or Satanism having involved.
And then I know that there’s like secular Satanist organizations that are basically like atheist and there’s like a whole gamut.
46:17
I’m not saying all Satanists here, but like I feel it’s very interesting.
These people are so anti Satan, but they seem to be like really embodying some of the qualities of the satanic church, which I find very ironic.
46:33
Like I could probably put up a Twitter page tomorrow and just start like tweeting stuff out of the satanic Bible and assigning like random fucking Bible verses to it, like random names like King James or First Kings or whatever.
46:50
And like conservative people will probably stupidly like it thinking that it is from the actual Bible.
Like, they don’t understand how people are so uninformed about the thing that they say that they hate and then they’re calling everybody else, like, demonic.
And I’m like, you know, maybe somebody that likes, thinks about sex all day long and has such a bad problem with their sexual self that they need to send their browser history to their fucking son to have them be held accountable for their sexual desires.
47:25
It is a little bit more evil and demonic than like somebody going and like walking around on stilts on a stage.
Just saying.
It’s 100%, which by the way, Marilyn Manson, you look good with your neck lift.
47:41
Congratulations on getting clean enough to make that happen.
You’re also still a sexual predator and a complete like abomination on the face of this planet, but you put out a couple good albums.
I have to live with that conflict now.
47:58
Thank you for failing us.
I have been listening to a lot of Manson lately.
I always feel guilty.
Now I feel bad too.
Like, dude, Antichrist Superstar is a great album.
Mechanical animal My God is a great.
48:14
Album I’m going through Depressive moment right now and like Mechanical Animals is like my Depressive Like my Depressive episode go to record Like That and The Fragile by 9 Inch Nails.
48:31
Oh, I listened to that last night.
The whole thing has been a lot today.
And then I will probably listen to like, some old placebo, but like, their first record when they’re like, really, really sad.
Yeah, I’ll just like have that on repeat.
48:51
And I’m like, yeah, this is like really helping my situation here, the speed of pain.
Oh my God.
Oh yeah.
Oh my God.
But yeah, I hate that he made such great art.
He’s such a trash person.
49:06
He’s a horrible person.
Yeah, I just, oh, I believe all of those women.
That’s all I have to say.
And I hate that.
Like, I hate it because, like Manson was like, around for my childhood.
49:23
I mean like it.
Was dangerous back then.
Like it was dangerous music.
I mean, even now, like today I listen to irresponsible hate anthem and I’m like, I listened to that in 1996.
I’m just like you would never fucking hear anybody come out with this right now.
49:46
Like, it is so offensive and so awesome in how offensive it is.
Especially irresponsible hate anthem.
Like, it’s so good though.
Like, I wasn’t born with enough middle fingers.
50:01
I don’t need to choose a side.
Fuck yeah.
Do you remember, Annie, when you had and this is like a pre allegations and all that stuff with Manson, but when you were like like a year before you were leaving Chicago, you were like definitely having a moment and I kept texting you that you were born with just enough middle fingers to try and like get you pumped for the day.
50:31
That’s.
Right.
I love it so much.
Everybody’s just like, fuck, fuck fuck.
I’m like, yeah, I did even more now.
50:49
Manson, I get it.
I also think like Angel with the scab wings is a total Bob.
Yes, that one is like one of my favorites.
Oh, I love.
That I love the reflecting God.
51:04
I love a minute of decay, like the bass line on that boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
It’s the perfect depressed song.
Like the whole record is like all all of them are depressing.
51:21
Like, I don’t know why.
Like, I’m attracted to it, but it’s like I we had Manson in high school and we had Manson in college.
And now it’s like, I feel like that was always part of the soundtrack of like, growing up and coming of age and like, having something that was that taboo and that angry to, like, listen to was always sort of like a valve of some sort or an outlet, you know?
51:51
And then it’s like this guy goes and does all these horrible things and it’s like, it’s almost like you.
You still have those memories and those feelings about being connected to this music and like what it meant for you during rough time.
And then you’re just like you feel a different kind of way about it, but you still want to jam out to it.
52:10
But it feels weird.
It’s I don’t like it.
I don’t know.
I don’t like it.
I don’t like that.
I like it.
I want to not like it.
I know, yeah.
I mean, there’s so many.
There’s so many.
Like Michael Jackson?
I 100% think that he was a pedophile, 100%, So do I.
52:32
And like, I feel guilty.
I don’t go seeking out his music, but I have.
I’ve been on some of my old playlists, like my God, pretty young thing.
Fucking like I love that song, but now I’m like.
52:50
Like, that’s kind of gross.
But I’m like, well, this is black Michael Jackson, so maybe he wasn’t molesting yet.
Oh my God, I think a lot of us have that like, same thing in our brain of like being like, oh, it was before he got weird.
53:08
So it’s OK You know, I though, like I can’t do Michael Jackson, but I haven’t been able to do him since he was Wacko Jacko.
I mean it was like 5 years of his crazy face, just like staring at you in the grocery store checkout line and like headlines to like Wacko Jacko and like that guy’s energy felt really, really overwhelming to me.
53:35
Like the energy from him is was a lot.
I felt like he was really confused, very like just like I could tell there was just like nothing but chaos, like going up on here like all the time.
53:55
And like, I definitely think he’s a predator.
I like there’s it was just like every time I would see a picture I would get like his energy and I would just be like, I can’t, I can’t I like can’t like it’s just too much for me.
See in the eyes?
54:13
Yeah.
Very fucked up person.
And a drug addict like we.
I feel like people do not really talk about what a raging drug addict you have to be to have a doctor come in.
And fucking like IVU with drugs like that is like the most hardcore thing I have ever heard.
54:36
And he’s been famous since he was a kid.
Like he’s not there, just fucked up.
I don’t know, but raging drug addict?
Yeah.
I also feel like I never understood what was with him and Lisa Marie.
54:55
And I think, like part of me thinks because Lisa Maria is a Scientologist until she.
Left shortly before she died, which I also think is weird.
And her mom recently left.
I did see that.
55:12
Good for her.
But I think it’s really weird because like the Scientologists were trying to get Michael Jackson, and I wonder if like, they put her up to that.
55:29
So I just saw a very interesting interview with Priscilla and she talks about the marriage between Michael Jackson and Murray.
She thinks because Michael Jackson had the allegations around that time.
55:50
She thinks, one, it was like a way to protect himself and be like, see, you know, I’m a normal dude.
Two, he was obsessed with Elvis.
Everybody who married Lisa Marie, I feel like was obsessed with Elvis.
I feel so bad for her.
56:05
Yeah.
So because I guess Priscilla was like, don’t do it, you know?
And Lisa, like, really cared for him.
But like, he was very detached from her.
I think the mom, like when it Priscilla went into some a little bit.
56:24
But yeah, she was like, it was obvious that like Michael was into Elvis and wanted to be part of the mystique of the King of Rock’n’roll.
He’s the King of Pop, you know?
That’s so fucked up.
I I don’t know.
56:42
I still think the Scientology thing is also weird.
I don’t know.
I wonder if they were like well, this could be advantageous for Scientology as well.
Yeah, for sure.
I mean, Michael Jackson was like the biggest star on the planet.
57:00
So to have him, because look at what they have, they mean they have Tom Cruise.
He’s like the biggest movie star.
But Michael Jackson was bigger than Tom Cruise.
They would have had total domination.
That’s so crazy.
I’m glad Marcella left.
57:16
I also think, like, what happened to Lisa Marie, like, in the couple years after she left Scientology and then before her death.
We’re pretty weird.
I just, I feel like Scientology.
I think there was something going on there because like, she sort of left.
57:35
And I think, if I’m not mistaken, she allegedly still had Scientology workers like watching her and staffed at her house.
And I wonder if she knew something.
And I wonder if she was going.
57:51
To testify against Danny Matherson.
OK, yeah, she was set.
She died like a week before she was going to testify at his trial.
Yeah, it was really wild.
58:07
Yeah, Did you see I, Danny Masterson, got booted out of Scientology I.
Typically he did.
But like, are they really?
I mean, I’m sure they’re not going to help him anymore, but I feel like they only did that because all the other things they did to intimidate people and buy them off and like, didn’t work and he got convicted.
58:34
Yeah, so gross, dude.
So gross.
Yeah.
Scientology is such a strange religion to be part of.
Like, I just.
I don’t understand.
58:51
Like, I mean, people were around when the founder, like L Ron Hubbard, like, wrote these books.
They all say that he was crazy.
Like, how are you?
I I just, I don’t get it.
I don’t know.
How do you use one?
59:06
Become a cult leader.
I don’t know, Annie.
I’ve been trying to figure that out for a really long time.
I’m telling you, like, I would run the coolest fucking cult like anybody had ever seen.
And I feel like the outfits would be great, the meals would be great.
59:28
I mean, I would look fabulous.
And I’ve always wanted to have like one of those Egyptian slash Roman Shea’s lounges on poles that, like hot shirtless men, can carry me around in and call me like supreme leader.
59:45
I love it.
That would be so great, ’cause then I would also be tax exempt because I am a religion.
Yes, that would be so great and like personally, don’t really give a shit about what happens to my body after I die.
So.
1:00:01
If someone wants to mummify me and hang Christmas lights on me and put me in their living room, that is OK too.
So oh.
My God, did you start that documentary on HBO about that Lady?
No, I didn’t know they made one.
Yeah, it started last night.
1:00:18
I haven’t watched it yet.
I watched like on YouTube last year.
I think it was maybe the year before.
I want to watch a thing about her because you know, Nikki took me to crush Stone and that way it was weird as fuck there.
1:00:34
And then I found out about the cult.
So Nikki watched the first episode last night, and I’m like, OK, I have to start watching.
What did Nikki say about it?
It’s good so far.
Yeah.
OK, so no spoilers.
1:00:51
Yeah, Tell me about your time in Cresto.
I know you said that make quite the impression on you when you were there.
It was weird.
I it just had a very strange energy.
1:01:08
It’s this very small town, like around the mountains are like around it.
But like we, when we would drive, we would hit this one area on the way up to the place we were staying.
1:01:28
And every time I had an instant headache, it was like, I don’t know if there’s like a magnetic field there.
I don’t know what is there, but it would like physically fuck me up.
Just that is so crazy.
1:01:46
And then when you’re in town.
Like it was all all adults.
I didn’t see a single child the whole time I was there, which is kind of weird.
And I either saw like really old people or like 20 somethings and that’s it.
1:02:07
No.
Like, no middle age people and no children.
Oh, weird.
Fucking vibe.
Nikki loves that place, but I’m good.
I don’t need to go back.
Firstly, the middle-aged people are all mummies with Christmas lights on them and the children are getting made into Soylent Green so they can feed the cults.
1:02:33
I think that’s what’s happening there.
They’re eating babies and decorating for Christmas is.
What’s going on that’s wild?
I think I’m going to put that on my list of places to avoid.
I wonder if there’s like a portal there or something.
1:02:48
It’s kind of energy vortex.
You know they have.
I don’t remember what they’re called.
They are like a Tibetan thing.
I’ll have to ask Nikki.
But it’s like this like gold statue thing and it’s on like a big base and there’s all those like Dalai Lama flags and stuff that’s like a bunch of those around there because we went and saw one.
1:03:16
So I don’t know I and it’s a big place for cults because I don’t think that cult was the only it’s not the only cult that’s there that’s like really wild to me.
I would not want to be around the cults like I already like am not in a cult anymore.
1:03:33
I don’t want to be near the cults unless I’m running it and I am the supreme leader, in which case I will be around my cult all day long.
Annie, what would your ideal cult look like?
I don’t know.
I mean, I have a real hard time with any type of authority.
1:03:50
So I mean, obviously I would be in your cults because you’re my bestie and I know it’s going to be a good time.
I would have to take like breaks because I have to leave to go to the real world and not feel like I’m in some group mentality.
1:04:08
But you know, it might be comfortable.
I just want this one.
Be comfortable, have good food.
So it sounds.
Oh yeah, we could get some of those, like shapeless cotton garments and like, I like to.
1:04:25
Dress like a Roman goddess all day long.
OK, I think we can do that.
And then there will obviously be kool-aid and that is delicious.
So. 100% Let’s start a call.
1:04:42
This one will.
Have fun.
Drugs in it.
Yeah.
OK, that’s so funny.
Yeah, dude.
So on the lighter side of things, did you see that Kim Kardashian is G QS Man of the?
1:05:02
Year.
I did not see this.
Tell me all of that.
So I don’t really know that much besides the fact that it’s happening and I guess like what I’m looking at here.
Is she the reason she was given the GQ title as a newly launched line in partnership with the NB as official underwear launches to brand into a whole new territory?
1:05:29
So I guess like all these NBA players are going to be wearing skims, which I think is really weird, and they made her Man of the Year.
I do not like Kim Kardashian, but I kind of love that she’s man of the year.
1:05:48
But I also.
Hate it too.
I have a love hate for her, for real.
I do think that she probably has more balls than like most of the men that she’s like, in league with economically and just like socially.
1:06:11
But I’m also like, are we trying to like like what kind of a statement are we making?
I just, but I also I’m just like yeah, I love that she’s like man of the year like she’s it’s it’s a lot of feelings for me.
1:06:26
I never thought I would see this like.
Yeah, happen.
I never guessed it, but I feel like every time I think the Kardashians went away, they like something happens.
How?
Do you?
They will never go away.
I think it’s really crazy though, ’cause like, I don’t foresee any time in the future, like, like a Elliot Page being Man of the Year, but like Kim Kardashian, sure, you know, not that I’m saying Elliot Page shouldn’t be Man of the Year, but I feel like GQ wouldn’t be in a place where they would honor, like a transgender man.
1:07:05
But like, they’re fine, just like with a CIS pet woman.
Like that’s.
Well, because she’s hot, I’m sure.
She is going to look very hot in their men, you know, men’s magazine there.
So yeah, it’s a win win for everybody, I guess.
1:07:24
It’s just so wild to me and we’re getting a skim’s pop up shop in Austin.
It’s going to be like the first one that they’re doing and they’re hoping to make it permanent.
And I’m not going to lie, I wouldn’t mind having a couple pieces of hers.
1:07:41
But at the same time, I just feel like, so disgusted because like the Kardashian machine, just like it’s a lot for me to handle.
And I’m like kind of over it.
I think I was born over it.
But like, I’m like, how can I, like, go and buy some like nice underwear from this person?
1:08:04
I’m not sure.
I’m not sure how I feel about it, but I feel like if I can listen to Marilyn Manson with like maybe 4% less guilt than the average person, then I could probably suck it up and buy some skins.
I know everybody hates Kim Kardashian, but I have mad respect for her and her mom.
1:08:28
I think that it is.
You don’t give her enough credit for the hard work that she does.
You don’t.
Just just because you have money doesn’t mean you’re going to be successful.
And like a lot of people just equate automatic success with money.
1:08:49
But like, she’s built.
She built a brand of herself like she.
Is the one who did that and inspired that whole generation of people, her in Paris Hilton basically.
So like she created something that wasn’t there before.
1:09:11
And when it comes to like you know these businesses, I mean SKIMS has been doing amazing and it was a great business idea.
You know, something that she was already using all the time and she wanted it the way she wanted it.
1:09:28
That’s like how brilliant businesses start, like with the need.
So I, like, have mad respect for her.
I think the plastic surgery is a lot and I think that has been like detrimental to people.
And I mean, you could see it in her sisters like.
1:09:48
They don’t have Kim Kardashian confidence.
Kim Kardashian wanted to be famous.
She wanted to be that girl.
The rest of the family, you know, they, I don’t think they wanted to be that girl.
But they have that role to be in that family.
1:10:07
And I mean, they look fucking crazy.
All of their faces look crazy.
And I feel the words for Khloe.
Because I watched the show and I just see like, somebody who is like depressed.
1:10:24
She’s straight depressed and like everybody expects something out of her.
And it’s like, can you just let her live her life?
Like, clearly she wants to be single.
It’s OK to be single, which is something I see on the show, like it’s pushed all the time.
1:10:41
You got to be with somebody, you got to have all these kids, blah, blah blah blah.
Let let her live her life.
But when it comes to Kim, I don’t know.
She’s also a Libra body.
So like her birthday’s the day before mine and I just.
1:11:00
I love it.
I love how successful she is and like some of the shit she does, I think is pretty fucking cool.
The Marilyn Monroe dress was not fucking cool, was not cool.
And it had nothing to do with the Gilded Age.
1:11:17
Way too fucking announced to everybody that you are not fucking educated is did you did you confuse that with the golden age of Hollywood?
Because I think that’s what she was trying to do and I was just like, and I think what’s the mom’s name, Chris.
1:11:37
She dressed up as Jackie O I’m like, I don’t understand, like.
That makes no sense.
I was just like that’s.
I know that a lot of people don’t like Anna Wintour, but I feel like Anna has done a lot for the Kardashians career and to like not even dressed by the theme is really rude and disrespectful, I think, especially how many years they’ve been invited to the Met Gala.
1:12:07
But doesn’t everybody send in their dresses to show Anna what they’re wearing?
I think she knows what they’re coming in.
I’m not sure.
I.
Don’t know.
I can’t wait to see how they fuck up this year.
Or dude, they’re totally going to fuck off this year because like the Gilded Age, you could tell.
1:12:23
Like, nobody knew what that meant.
Like Billie Eilish actually came dressed up as Is it a John Singer Sergeant portrait?
Kind of.
That was like very referential to the Gilded Age.
But you had a lot of people wearing, like, really weird outfits, and they didn’t understand, like, gilded means, not actual gold, like it’s plated or whatever.
1:12:48
And like, it’s about literally the time that we’re living through now.
I feel like we’re in a second Gilded Age and you show up like dressed like Marilyn Monroe.
Like a lot of people did not understand what the theme was about.
And this year with the like, Sleeping Beauty is all about garments that can’t be reborn again.
1:13:06
I wonder how many, like, straight up Disney princesses we’re going to get on them.
I know, I know, 100% like, I love looking at the looks for the Met Gala, and I feel like you could do so many creative things of a theme like that, so many creative things.
1:13:27
But I know there’s going to be like, some tacky fucking shit that has nothing to do with anything.
But yeah, I hate when people fumble a good theme, man.
It’s so fun to be in theme.
I want to go to the Met Ball just to like, look at people’s clothes.
1:13:48
Like I don’t want to like be served dinner or anything.
I just want to see these garments up close.
Yeah, I wish we could go to the Met to see the exhibit.
Well, the exhibit is going to be running for a while.
We could go to the Met.
1:14:05
I think it’s through April or May.
It’s yeah, ’cause the the Met Gala isn’t in, It’s the first Monday in May or first Wednesday in May.
So I mean, we have like 5 or 6 months.
If we want to go, we should fucking go to New York, dude, let’s go to New York.
1:14:22
But let’s do New York weekend and just go to the museum and yeah, great.
And we have to go to lottery.
Oh yes, we do, man.
Those Marie Antoinette Max were like, Oh my God, those are my favorite.
1:14:39
They’re so good.
Color of them were like just beautiful.
They were perfect macarons.
And I also love when people put rose or like flowers into pastries and are able to like utilize that with like a sweeter fruit flavor.
1:14:59
Oh my God.
Like, I could have eaten maybe like four dozen of those macarons, but I wanted to try, like, everything that they had behind that counter and that like.
Eclair, I think that’s what I had in Eclair.
That shit was top notch.
1:15:15
I was, Oh my God, dude.
I just saw I had.
I don’t remember when we went to New York, but I know it was like a month before the wedding.
And I had like, do you remember when flashback on my phone?
And it was just like pictures of all of us eating the macarons.
1:15:33
And I was like, that was my favorite part of the trip.
I was like I was going to lottery and then watching Labyrinth in a bar with a bunch of weird people.
That was like, I felt like that was magic because, like, my theme for my wedding wasn’t David Bowie, but it was David Bowie, so.
1:15:52
Yeah.
That was fun.
That was nice.
Let’s go to New York again.
Let’s do a weekend in New York.
Or if it’s easier, we could do like, depending on what you’re up to and what I’m up to, we could do like a Monday through Thursday thing.
1:16:10
If the travel is cheap, we should totally do that.
Let’s look into it.
Let’s go.
We’re free bitches, baby.
Yes, let’s go.
Let’s go.
Let’s go eat food.
Look at some art.
1:16:26
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Let’s totally do that.
OK, I’m excited.
We’re going to New York.
Cool.
Cool.
Right.
All right.
Well, Speaking of glamour and things that come out of New York, I need to talk about Jeffrey.
1:16:44
Jeffrey Bezos.
Yes, I love me about this.
I love that him and his new partner, I don’t know if they’re married or dating, are the new cover for Vogue magazine.
1:16:59
What the fuck is that?
See that is not OK.
I don’t like it.
I don’t like it either.
I don’t feel like they contribute anything in the way of like style.
You know they’re not.
1:17:16
They’re not like Jeff Baez is just a fucking like oligarch type fucking douche bag with a Dick rocket that owns a lot of fucking companies and has a lot of fucking money.
And like he’s kind of a Dick.
1:17:35
Like he’s a huge Dick and like he had he culturally, I don’t see how he contributes.
I feel like when you get the cover of Vogue magazine, it’s because you, like, culturally contribute in some way.
If you’re not involved in fashion, in the arts.
1:17:51
Like, I don’t see how he’s relevant.
And like, I don’t think either of them are attractive.
Like, it makes sense if you’re going to put like somebody that doesn’t really contribute culturally, but they’re like really, really great to look at.
Like I just don’t see from any point of view like where how this works or why we should care.
1:18:13
I mean, it’s so weird.
Speaking of Kim Kardashian, she always wanted to be on Vogue, but she couldn’t get on it until Kanye.
Her first cover was with Kanye.
Because Kanye was all about fashion, yeah.
And he contributed to the scene, so, like, it makes absolutely no sense that Bezos would be on there.
1:18:36
Is the cover out like?
Do we know what it looks like?
Yeah, it’s him on some kind of like ATV situation and it looks like the safari with his new girlfriend, partner, wife, I don’t know, hanging off of him.
1:18:54
Does Annie Leibovitz take these pictures?
I don’t know.
I wouldn’t be surprised.
You could totally tell her Art.
God, this dude.
I’m so sorry, Annie Leibowitz.
You had to sit, sit in a like room with these people for as long as you did.
1:19:18
Ladies, please stop with the lip filler.
Look how long her mouth is because she’s had a lift.
So all this is sucked back like this.
So her lips are like the Joker, and then they’re huge on top of it.
1:19:33
Like.
That does not make sense.
That looks so weird.
It looks really like she looks like a drag queen, kind of.
It’s so weird.
There’s so many women like that now.
1:19:51
Yeah, I not to like insult her femininity, but it looks like, you know, when you go to do drag and like, you exaggerate certain features like because you want to like, really look like this.
Person that you’re impersonating or you want to like have that extra like flair and emphasis on like the features that are part of your character.
1:20:15
I feel like she’s like a lot of these women that are getting fillers are basically getting like permanent drag makeup, which I think is crazy.
Like it doesn’t look like it looks like it’s drawn on or like done to the point where it’s like kind of campy, you know?
1:20:32
And I don’t understand how you cannot notice that that’s happening to your face.
I don’t know.
It’s like Jeff Bezos looks really unsettling in that image, too.
I don’t like it at all.
Well, he looks like he takes testosterone, like look how muscly he is now I I just saw some video of him.
1:20:55
In the original, like Amazon office, at his parents house or wherever the fuck he was and like he’s this tiny dude balding Elon Musk is the same too.
Elon Musk has had a ton of surgery, but Bezos just looks like his body is so much bigger.
1:21:16
His head is too small for his body.
It’s so weird.
He has like, creepy vibes in that picture and I don’t like it.
Like, it’s because he’s super rich.
I’m sure.
Like, I feel like if you hit billionaire status.
1:21:32
I’m sure even before that though.
But like to be a billionaire, It takes a lot of.
I mean, it takes a lot of manpower, so you need cheat manpower to make that happen.
1:21:49
So you’re taking advantage of people.
Like, it’s a lot of taking advantage of people and it’s got to kill your soul a little bit, you know?
Totally.
I feel like there’s got to be, there’s just so many moral compromises that I’m Sure Start out really small you have to make to become that successful.
1:22:16
Like you don’t get to the top like that without having dirtied your hands with something that compromises you on a spiritual level, I don’t think, even a mental or an emotional level.
And I feel like you need to like, do those types of things to be on top.
1:22:35
So I do think it kills you a little bit.
Like, I wouldn’t want to live his life, but he does give me vibes in that picture of somebody.
Like I wouldn’t want my kid around in the library.
That’s like what it’s giving.
He just seems empty, just like an empty vessel.
1:22:56
It’s like, oh, congratulations, you have all this money, but like you have nothing at the same time.
He’s.
Yeah, there’s nothing behind the eyes her either.
She’s.
She looks like a fucking ghoul.
1:23:12
I hate these faces.
They are making really weird faces.
I don’t know why they did that.
I don’t know if that issue is out yet.
It probably is coming soon.
I have a subscription to Vogue, but I might cancel it now because I’m like, like, I keep my subscription because I can’t find Vogue at the fucking grocery store or wherever I go, and I like to at least pretend that I know it’s like people are wearing.
1:23:41
I don’t know, I just find Vogue comforting, OK?
But now I’m like, I don’t think I want like Jeffrey Bezos and his new hot little side piece looking at me in Vogue magazine.
It makes me feel like my safe space is invaded.
1:23:58
Don’t like it?
It’s gross.
This is.
I’m really grossed out by like most famous people.
They all have a very uncomfortable feeling to them.
And like any like, I mean anybody who has like that kind of money freaks me out.
1:24:19
Like I dream of.
Like being rich.
I never have dreamed of being a fucking billionaire.
Like, like reasonably comfortable, but like not able to affect the world with one tweet.
1:24:35
Right, 100%, Absolutely.
So what is giving you joy this week?
Or calmness, or peace or any type of happiness whack.
1:24:52
I am going through a bit of a rough time so I’m sure many people with depression will understand like the comfort things that you might do when you’re not feeling awesome.
1:25:07
So for me it has been re listening to albums that are really fucking sad.
From my younger years I’ve been like listening to The Fragile and like some Bjork all on fucking headphones so I can like really immerse myself in that sadness.
1:25:34
Yeah, so I’ve been doing that and even though it’s it’s cathartic, but I just need to feel something familiar.
And then it may be like rewatch some comfort shows, things that like I’ve seen a million times, but I know it’s make me feel good.
1:25:53
So I’m going to probably rewatch a velvet gold mine for the millionth time tonight.
I love that movie because it is so pretty.
So I just have to say, if you see me around town and I am playing the Downward spiral on repeat, really loud, send memes and take out.
1:26:16
I need them because you know, I’m, I’m going through a thing.
But yeah, I think I’ll be fine.
But I’m just enjoying, just kind of trying to tune out and indulging in some of my comfort media.
How about you?
1:26:35
Well, I I.
I’m physically starting to feel a little bit better.
My back is not completely killing me anymore.
That’s really good.
I sucked it up.
1:26:51
I ordered just a cheap new mattress that will be here this week.
Oh, finally.
I haven’t slept in the bed for like 2 weeks.
I was sleeping on the couch because it’s the only way to, like, feel OK when I wake up, but fuck, I just want to be in a bed.
1:27:10
So that’s progress.
My foot is making progress.
That’s really good.
Yeah, it’s only taken like a month and a half.
Also, I had I painted last night.
1:27:28
I don’t know why.
These last couple months I just have this urge to paint.
I am not a painter or a drawer like.
I am not a visual artist in any way, but I appreciate the arts very much and I love good art.
1:27:44
I love that you are doing that.
It made me so happy when you sent me that painting.
I was like, yes, she’s feeling it.
She’s wants to do it.
She’s feeling the paint.
She’s wants to play with the colors.
Yes, it feels great.
1:28:01
I’ve been watching Bob Ross this week, and you know, I asked you about the liquid white yesterday, and I ordered some liquid white and liquid black today.
Look at you getting ready.
I saw this.
Prime your.
1:28:17
Kisses.
Yes, I.
Saw this video that he did.
I’m not going to do the color part of it.
I’m going to keep it black and white but like.
I know I could do it like I saw it, and I’m like, I can make this, I can make this happen and it’s going to look awesome.
1:28:36
It’s just like a tree scene, all in black and white.
But, like, I feel like it teaches you to know.
Like the light, Yeah.
I don’t know anything about light.
I don’t know anything about perspective.
1:28:51
Like I know about it, but I don’t know about it.
And I also am terrible at mixing colors because I don’t know what I’m doing but I can do black and white, so girl I.
Bought the paint and I got the foam brushes so I can do what he did in the video and I’m going to hopefully do that tomorrow.
1:29:10
I’m so excited dude.
Let me know how it turns out.
I love.
This.
I love this.
And don’t be intimidated.
You’re just in it to have fun.
I’m so happy.
He’s like, this is bringing me joy this week, actually.
1:29:29
This, like, entire story is bringing me joy.
Like, I love it.
Dude, it I loved watching him when I was a kid, and I never painted as a kid either.
I was like very into music.
Like that was my thing.
But I enjoyed watching him.
1:29:45
And then this week, and I was watching him and he’s just so like.
Positive.
And I’m like, Oh my God, Bob, I can’t make a happy little tree.
I’m going to do this so I don’t love.
Everybody watching dude, I cannot wait to see what your painting looks like, so please have so much fun.
1:30:07
I’m so happy the art is moving through you and in you.
Yes, that brings me so much joy this week.
I love that and I love Bob Ross.
He’s so great.
1:30:23
He’s also in my rotation of comfort media.
So wonderful.
Such a wonderful human being.
And like that energy he gives gave off is just so one.
It was lovely.
It was like a lovely energy.
1:30:39
And you know the way he like, He teaches like he makes it simple and like.
I I mean, I know that I don’t have any painting skills because I don’t never have painted, but like when I watch him, he fills me with confidence.
1:31:00
So I’m like, OK, I got to do it, dude.
I like, maybe that’s it.
I’ll make my goal for this week.
Be in honor of Bob Ross.
I want to make somebody else feel confident the way Bob Ross makes us feel confident to paint and like we can do it.
1:31:22
So maybe we can pass a little Bob Ross on in the World this week.
Yes, let’s do it.
Bob Ross Energy out into the Universe.
