Nicole! Good

1:21

morning! Oh, good

1:23

morning! It's morning time! I have

1:25

a question for you. April

1:28

Fool's just happened. Were you

1:30

tricked? I

1:33

actually completely forgot that it was April

1:35

Fool's. No one tried to trick me.

1:37

I didn't try to trick anybody else.

1:39

I also forgot Easter was

1:41

happening. I just feel like... I

1:44

feel like I'm out of the loop

1:46

with holidays. You're out of the loop

1:48

with holidays? People just aren't including you?

1:50

No one's telling me about what's happening

1:53

anymore on the calendar. Wait,

1:57

that's really funny. I forgot about it. Like

2:00

my dad texted me happy Easter and I was like, huh?

2:02

Oh yeah, I guess so today. Well,

2:06

because it was still March. Easter

2:08

is an April holiday. No.

2:11

What? I'm

2:13

pretty sure March is like Easter.

2:15

Every year? I really don't

2:17

know. I really don't

2:19

know. But Easter has

2:21

passed. Easter has

2:24

passed, but I know Easter comes

2:26

on a different day every year.

2:30

Isn't like the fourth, third Sunday

2:32

of March? Third Sunday of March.

2:34

Oh, maybe. No,

2:36

see? Okay. List

2:38

of dates for Easter. It's 2015. Sometimes

2:41

it is April. It was in

2:43

April. But why? What? I

2:48

don't know. But

2:51

yeah, that's why to me, it's a April holiday.

2:56

The second last date, no.

2:59

I don't understand. When

3:02

is it? These

3:04

are all random dates to me. In

3:07

March or April. It's a different

3:09

date each year. It's very confusing. It's

3:11

not like Christmas or July

3:13

4th. Yeah, this

3:15

year was the 31st of March. But

3:18

why? Yeah, I'm not

3:20

understanding. Because it's not like the

3:23

fourth Sunday of March. Because

3:26

sometimes it's in April. Who

3:28

decides? Yeah,

3:31

does Jesus rise every year and

3:33

go, today's the day? He's

3:35

like, I pushed snooze a little bit for

3:37

a few weeks. It's

3:40

April now. Easter's

3:42

exact date may seem arbitrary, but it's

3:45

always on the Sunday after the

3:47

first full moon. I didn't know the

3:49

moon was involved. Me either,

3:51

sounds fucking witchy. Yeah.

3:55

Wow. Okay, this means Easter can

3:57

be anywhere between March 22nd and April.

4:00

25th. I see.

4:02

So Easter can just be one

4:04

day out of a full fucking month And

4:06

we just don't know until the full moon

4:08

happens. We just gotta pay attention And

4:12

is that in the Bible? Biblically? Like

4:15

what? I don't know. I

4:17

don't know. This is wild and

4:19

this is crazy Yeah,

4:21

it does feel very witchy. Yeah,

4:24

it's been this way since the Middle Ages

4:26

So like why are they burning witches and

4:28

shit? Like looking at the moon and making

4:30

stews? Sounds just like

4:33

Easter Hiding

4:36

colorful eggs for children and bunnies come

4:38

and sounds witchy as fuck. Where does

4:40

a bunny come from? This

4:44

I don't know Like isn't that

4:46

wild that they were like a man died So

4:49

a big fucking freaky-ass bunny is gonna

4:51

come and hide eggs for you. That's

4:54

weird Like bunnies don't lay

4:56

eggs. Well, how are the two even

4:58

related? Whoa Bunnies

5:01

don't lay eggs That

5:08

rocks my fucking world

5:13

They don't lay eggs why are they

5:15

bringing eggs to children? I

5:17

do not know according to discovery

5:19

news since ancient times eggs and

5:21

rabbits have been a symbol of fertility

5:24

Oh like cuz rabbits fuck a lot well

5:26

spree has been a symbol of rebirth Okay,

5:30

sure Easter sounds witchy

5:32

has held to me. So yeah, man

5:34

died. He came back We look at a

5:36

full moon as to when we celebrate it and

5:38

then we're having big fucking bunnies that

5:41

fuck a lot Hop around and give

5:43

their eggs to children. Well, that sounds

5:45

fucked up that last night Right

5:51

And they don't even lay eggs then

5:53

they don't even lay eggs bunnies be

5:55

dropping babies right like they

5:58

drop yeah Yeah, like isn't it? thing like

6:00

fuck like rabbits or something and they have

6:03

a bunch of tiny

6:05

litters of rabbits. Oh

6:07

my god. It's also wild because the

6:09

eggs aren't even yoked up. They

6:12

got candy inside. They didn't

6:14

even yolks up eggs. Sond

6:16

the yolk. Yeah,

6:21

and also sage. And

6:25

it's like I can't be sustained

6:27

on candy alone. But if it's

6:29

yoked up, that's protein baby. This is

6:31

true. I don't have a real egg. I'm

6:35

in fucking little eggs filled with chocolate.

6:37

Like what is this? You

6:39

know what? And that's April Fool's. That's

6:41

a trick. It is a trick. I

6:43

opened up an egg and now there's candy inside.

6:45

That's not a trick. You thought you were going

6:47

to have an omelet. And now you have a

6:49

sugar high. I was about to have breakfast. And

6:52

now I have a snack. This

6:54

is crazy. That's so

6:56

funny. I didn't get tricked on April

6:58

Fool's. I was very hyper

7:01

vigilant. And everything I looked at I

7:03

would double check. You're

7:07

not going to get me. And

7:10

then my friend sent me this like very poorly photoshopped

7:12

thing. My friend Evan, he was like, Britney Spears is

7:14

doing a new album. And I was like, Evan,

7:17

Evan, it's April Fool's. And he

7:19

was like, I got that. Yeah,

7:22

that's so funny. Yeah,

7:25

not me though. I was in

7:27

these streets looking around, double checking

7:30

asking Jeeves. Why didn't ask Jeeves

7:32

take off? I feel like it was the same for

7:34

a while. Like it

7:40

was, it did have a

7:43

hold on everyone's questions. But now there's

7:45

like, just Google and Quora

7:47

and Reddit. Yeah, it is

7:49

wild though that like, ask Jeeves that's

7:51

a person I can ask a person and

7:53

then like, I'm just googling things. Yeah, I think

7:55

it's supposed to make you feel like a, like

7:58

a king. Like, yes, my

8:00

assistant Jeeves will answer the question. I

8:04

don't know, ask Jeeves. Boy,

8:07

oh boy. Have you been

8:10

utilizing the image search

8:12

feature on Google? No,

8:14

I really, I tried to use it one time

8:17

and I am so confused. I don't know how

8:19

to use it. Whoa, Sashir, they've made

8:21

it so simple. I

8:23

almost said idiot proof, but that would imply that you're an

8:25

idiot and I don't wanna do that to you. Thank

8:27

you so much. Yeah, wipe that from

8:30

our brains. I never even thought of

8:32

it. Okay, so on

8:34

your phone, if you go to

8:36

google.com, there's a search bar

8:39

and then there is a little photo

8:41

thing. Hit the photo thing and

8:43

it brings up your photos from your album

8:45

and you can slide one right up in

8:47

there and reverse image search whatever you want. Okay.

8:51

It's great. google.com.

8:56

But then that means I have to give them access to

8:59

all my photos. Girls, they already have it.

9:01

The internet has you. I

9:03

think I've already tried this before and it

9:05

just makes me, it wants me

9:07

to download the Google app. Do you have the Google

9:09

app? I don't think I have a

9:12

Google app, do I? I

9:14

do? Jordan's saying I do. I

9:18

was nodding to myself that I have the Google,

9:20

I don't know your phone. Well,

9:23

that's why I didn't know. I was like, oh my God.

9:26

Oh, you're right, I do have the Google

9:29

app. Okay. I see. And

9:31

I mean, I love it. It's how I

9:33

have sounds like

9:35

vintage things that I need to have

9:37

to sew together for my fat ass.

9:39

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh,

9:44

and Jordan said askjesusnowask.com. They took Jeeves

9:46

out of there. Oh my God, if

9:49

I was Jeeves in 2005. I

9:51

would be jealous. Yep, it was a rebrand.

9:54

Yeah. Oh my

9:56

God. Wow. I

9:58

wanna just ask some random person. and I want

10:01

Jeeves to answer it for me.

10:03

This is like the dullification of

10:05

America, okay? Listen, hear me

10:08

out, hear me out. So Ask

10:10

Jeeves was a very, very specific

10:12

thing and it was like cool

10:14

and fun. And then they changed

10:17

it to ask.com. Look at modern

10:19

architecture. It is so boring and

10:21

basic and like minimalistic. Look

10:23

at all the stores. Remember when Bed

10:26

Bath and Beyond had plaid everywhere? Did

10:28

you know? Did you know? Stores

10:33

had personality and now they all

10:36

look the same. Wait,

10:38

Bed Bath and Beyond had plaid everywhere?

10:41

Not Bath and Body Works? Oh,

10:44

sorry, Bath and Body Works had plaid everywhere.

10:46

Bed Bath and Beyond had big, bold, blue

10:48

letters. I

10:51

think they still do, no? They're

10:53

all closed. They are also.

10:56

There's no stores anymore. There's no- No,

10:59

but yeah, I feel like stores look dull. Like you

11:01

used to go to the mall and be like, every

11:03

store had a personality. You were never gonna make a

11:05

mistake walking into a store. Now you can walk

11:08

into a store, you can walk into a JCPenney's, or

11:10

you can walk into a Hot Topic and never know.

11:12

And never know where you are until you pick up

11:14

a shirt. I was looking

11:16

for senses and I can't find any little prank thingies. Where

11:19

am I? These are two of you. You're

11:21

in Sears. And

11:25

I don't think Sears exists anymore, which really

11:27

makes me upset. Because as a kid, I

11:29

used to shop in my Husky section in

11:31

Sears. No, they called it Husky?

11:34

Girl, they're not nice to fat

11:36

people in this country. No, they

11:38

sure aren't. They say, get your little fat

11:40

ass over the Husky section. And

11:43

then you have to look at the word Husky and

11:45

be like, that's me, I'm a Husky. I guess that's

11:47

me. I'm like a furry dog. Sears

11:52

is still around. But there's only

11:54

13 of them. 13 stores

11:56

in the whole United States. Oh my God.

11:58

And California has. That wait a

12:01

minute. I could go to

12:03

as the years cause. I

12:05

used to love years. We

12:08

have i the Huskies as sexes. If he wants

12:10

on a Berber and. There's.

12:12

A fear that birch. Oh My.

12:14

God. I didn't realize. Within

12:16

them. Didn't. Now. Did.

12:19

You guys ever shop at Bradley's. As

12:21

they have heard of it. You have

12:23

these are. Bradley

12:26

Fletcher. On right now. Do

12:28

you work? Say it as I

12:30

work for a Bradley's. Know

12:33

the bread, Bradley's intel of

12:35

the war, and. Oh

12:37

God. there was another one that I really liked. Ah,

12:40

they were en route Thirty five.

12:42

The New Jersey and Bradley's had

12:44

a really cool. It was like

12:46

a target. For. Like a cool

12:48

target and they had a season stuff. And.

12:52

I used to serve my little but

12:54

in the. They. Had like tween

12:56

plus clothing so be like a size seventeen

12:58

and I be like oh my god mom,

13:01

the states as you like know that seizure.

13:03

By for me anywhere in at were really

13:05

tight stuff Spratley. Bradley's

13:07

okay. cool. I found a

13:09

video of shopping at Bradley's

13:12

department store in Nineteen Ninety

13:14

Five. It's twenty minutes long.

13:18

Will you send? It to me I would

13:20

really be into that Cia is it

13:22

someone first Fact: if of shopping or

13:24

know there there is a commercially. Shop

13:26

in place. To go

13:28

and. It's. The same. That's.

13:31

Great! I'll brightly as like a

13:33

don't know why it went out

13:35

of business. It is a better

13:37

target lake and. Like.

13:40

Everything the so great. A brightly. Rally

13:44

officer from I bought it from like

13:46

read rubble or sub say is why

13:48

I was googling. of the what's happened

13:50

to Broadway's and I think it's just like

13:52

when out a business like you know source

13:55

to. Via. Of and then it

13:57

would you want to. Bradley Fletcher of like foot.

14:00

Yes, yes I do. So I

14:02

bought one. Wow, preaching the

14:04

good word of Bradley's. Maybe

14:07

the press you're giving it will revive it.

14:11

No, nothing I do helps anything I love.

14:13

Bradley's isn't coming back and neither is the apple

14:16

chibi cheesecake at Applebee's even

14:18

though it's one of the best

14:21

desserts ever. Maybe I just have to learn how to make

14:23

it myself. Maybe. Yeah,

14:26

but that's dangerous. If I

14:28

learn how to make a deep fried cheesecake in my house because

14:30

then you might just make it all the time. Yeah,

14:33

and then I'll move past the husky section

14:35

to the said bed bound section. That's

14:40

the beyond at Bed Bath and Beyond that is

14:42

and there's nothing wrong with being a beyond. I

14:44

just want to say that you know,

14:47

yeah can't be body shame and nobody if you

14:49

want to stay in bed, that's your business. You

14:53

know, it's interesting when people talk about people's weight. They're

14:55

like, I just want you to be healthy and I'm

14:57

like, but what if they don't want to be healthy?

15:00

Yeah, that's a possibility. Some people

15:03

may not want to be healthy.

15:06

Like they don't care are absolutely

15:08

fine with the way they be living. That's

15:11

like when someone's a smoker. It's like

15:13

they know what smoking is doing. They're

15:15

not. Yeah, they're not silly. All right.

15:18

Wait, what? This is not good for me. Well,

15:21

no one's ever told me that not even the package of

15:23

the cigarettes that I bought. In

15:27

England, there's like rotted lungs and

15:29

shit on the packaging. It's wild. I

15:31

think this is like a lot of countries. Not

15:34

here though. They say have fun. Yeah,

15:36

we don't want you think about that. Have fun. Yeah,

15:39

we want you to. Lord

16:00

committed to ensuring that everyone has

16:02

the information and resources they

16:05

need to make their own decisions about

16:07

their bodies, including abortion care.

16:10

Lawmakers who oppose abortion are attacking

16:12

Planned Parenthood, which means affordable, high-quality,

16:14

basic health care for more than

16:16

2 million people is at stake.

16:19

The right to control your own body and

16:21

get the health care everyone needs has been

16:24

stolen. And now, politicians

16:26

in nearly every state have introduced bills

16:28

that will block people from getting the

16:30

sexual and reproductive care they need. Planned

16:33

Parenthood believes everyone deserves health care.

16:35

It's a human right. That's

16:37

why they fight every day to

16:39

push for common-sense policies that protect

16:41

your right to control your own

16:43

body and against policies that interfere

16:45

with decisions between patients and their

16:48

doctor. Planned Parenthood needs your support

16:50

now more than ever. With

16:52

supporters like you, you can help

16:54

you know, people talk and you're just like,

oh my God, this is annoying. And then

you just hit an unsubscribe on a bunch

I know you've dealt with yada yada before,

17:23

like when companies have those sneaky guys writing

17:26

in the deep and fine print or bills

17:28

that seem to keep going up for no

17:30

dang reason or when budget airlines promise a

17:32

cheap fare, but then charge you for every

17:35

little thing until you realize you're paying more than you would

17:37

have elsewhere. And yes, it's

know. It's

19:16

a new room that needs to be unpacked

19:19

and organized and such, but yes, it's

19:21

barren. It's really funny

19:23

because the light is hitting behind

19:25

your head, so it kind of looks like, oh

19:28

my god, it looks like she has rhythm. She has

19:30

risen in this barren room. I'm Jesus! I came back! This

19:33

is actually a cave I'm in. It's actually a cave, and

19:35

I just need to move

19:40

the boulder and leave. I would

19:42

be so excited if you were

19:44

Jesus. Like, it would be so

19:46

cool to be like, you guys,

19:48

my best friend is fucking Jesus.

19:50

Can you believe that? You're like, do

19:52

the thing. Do the snake thing. I

19:54

would just, this year would be so annoying. Every

19:57

glass of water I got, I'd be like, turn it into wine. I don't

19:59

want to pay for it. I'm like,

20:02

I can't do it all the time. But I simply don't

20:04

want to pay for it. And I really like watching you

20:06

do it. I

20:09

was on the internet, you know, as

20:11

one does. And

20:14

there was this video where this lady was like, Jesus

20:17

is so gagging, like so

20:19

dramatic to invite everyone to

20:21

a dinner and then like have

20:24

dinner and then be like, one of you is gonna

20:26

betray me. And everyone's like, not me,

20:28

not me. And he's like, actually, Judas,

20:30

Judas is gonna betray me. And

20:33

if you think about it, that is iconic. It's

20:36

pretty iconic. It's like Jesus is in

20:38

front of all your friends. Yes. Like

20:41

that is such a gay man move. And

20:43

then to die. And then like everyone's like, boo

20:45

hoo. And then be like, guess what, bitches? I'm

20:47

back. Like, that's, I just want to see how

20:49

much you miss me. Best

20:54

friends at prostitute. Yes. Yes.

20:57

Those are the only women he hung

20:59

out with was sex workers. And

21:02

he'd be washing their feet and stuff like

21:05

Jesus is gay as hell. He's

21:09

gay as hell. He wants his girlfriends to have good

21:11

feet for, you know, fucking. He's like, girl, you

21:13

can't be selling your body if your toes

21:15

are crusty. Best

21:18

friends with his mom. Yes. He

21:20

loved his mother. Kind of

21:23

estranged from his dad, you know,

21:25

because that's not his real daddy.

21:29

Yo, Joseph must've been like mad every

21:32

day of Jesus's life. I'm

21:34

sure he was just like, I mean, I want

21:37

to believe Mary. I want

21:39

to believe, but like, this is wild.

21:42

Every time I go back to the, to the

21:44

bar, everyone's making fun of me. They're

21:47

like, you got to know, you got to

21:49

know that's crazy. And I'm

21:51

like, no, I believe I'm a believer, but it's just really

21:53

hard. Kids

21:56

have done nothing like me. Or anybody like

21:58

me. Mary and

22:00

I were having problems when she got pregnant.

22:02

So like, it definitely isn't mine. She

22:06

was yelling at me as I was trying to find a manger.

22:08

It's hard to find a manger at 3 a.m.

22:11

Isn't that wild? She got pregnant by somebody

22:13

else, told this dude she was with to

22:15

find her a fucking manger. So she'd go

22:17

have a baby after they get turned away

22:19

from the hotels. And then she's like, you're

22:22

gonna stay with me, right? And he's like,

22:24

yeah, I guess. Her

22:26

pussy must've been fired, truly. But

22:29

he wouldn't know because she was

22:31

a virgin. Oh my God! So

22:33

her personality was fucking skating her

22:35

through this? I guess.

22:38

If I ever lied to a man, if

22:40

I never let him fuck me, got

22:42

pregnant, said it was the good Lord,

22:45

this man would leave me. I don't

22:47

have a personality that would keep a man around like that. And

22:50

that sucks. He's

22:53

like, I just trust her. She's just so great

22:55

to be around. I'll leave this kid who's not

22:57

mine. I feel like

23:00

you might be able to keep somebody around.

23:02

Wow, thank you so much. Not fair. Not

23:06

fair. Like

23:08

I swear, you know me. I would

23:10

never. That's

23:13

exactly what you would say. And that person would be

23:15

like, all right, Sashir. Oh,

23:18

I believe you. Do

23:21

you think Mary had sex after she

23:23

had Jesus? Did she have a

23:25

virgin? I

23:27

think she did. I mean, you

23:29

have a baby as a virgin. That

23:32

baby's ripping you up. You are open

23:35

for business, baby. Oh, better

23:38

you let us know real estate down here.

23:42

No need to save myself now. My

23:45

friend just told me that when you

23:47

have a baby, you have to give

23:49

birth to the placenta. And in some

23:51

hospitals, they don't wait for you to give

23:53

birth. They pump it

23:56

out of you. They push down on

23:58

your stomach until it starts coming. out

24:00

and she was like it's one of the most

24:02

painful things but that's why you have to get

24:04

a doula because a doula will go please don't

24:06

do that because they don't listen to the person

24:08

who just went through trauma is that wild that's

24:11

a doctor like we can't listen to this fucking

24:13

idiot who just pushed out a human being and

24:16

listen to the person who didn't do

24:18

that yeah let's squeeze her like a

24:20

go-gurt and get this yeah God

24:23

that's funny but yeah I think Mary Magdalene

24:42

right that was her name no no Magdalene

24:44

was the sex worker yes very

24:47

Mary I don't know what our

24:49

full name is that everyone called

24:51

her the Virgin Mary

24:53

like that's pretty fucking rude yeah it's

24:55

like okay guys you have to keep calling me a virgin

24:59

cuz Mary Magdalene wasn't like Mary sucks a

25:01

lot Magdalene no unless Magdalene means

25:03

something oh maybe it means a lot

25:05

I think that's

25:07

her last name sir fuck so I

25:10

want to know Mary was always Mariam Oh

25:25

Mary yeah that was their full

25:27

name but I didn't have a last name yeah wait can

25:31

you go down to that first one what's

25:33

Mary's full name Mary

25:35

they're still giving her

25:37

one name like she's Madonna that's

25:39

funny I

25:41

I've never heard her be called Miriam in my whole

25:44

life yeah me

25:46

either yeah just mother

25:48

of Jesus huh also

25:51

that sucks that sucks to

25:53

be the Virgin Mary and then Mary

25:55

mother of Jesus she's only known

25:57

by like what men have done to her

25:59

or not not done to her. Yeah.

26:02

She never had her own agency.

26:04

Let's rebrand her as Mary that

26:06

bitch. Virgin

26:12

Mary more like that bitch Mary. I

26:16

mean, she is that bitch. She is. She

26:19

literally kept a man with

26:21

personality. Who does that? It's

26:26

wild. That's so wild to me. Yeah.

26:29

Yeah. Yeah. She's

26:32

iconic and that she

26:34

was chosen to be the vessel

26:37

to how the

26:41

the Son of God. That's pretty

26:43

much what credentials you need for that. Yeah,

26:46

truly. Do you think the other women in town were like, how

26:48

come it was me? I got a

26:50

good fucking womb. I got a

26:52

good one. My womb is a

26:54

real big. I

26:57

didn't got one. Me.

27:03

That's a man. What a tough family to be

27:05

in. He's getting Mason with the bar.

27:07

Women are mean to her because they're like my

27:10

womb just as good. Yeah. You

27:12

ain't special Mary. Wait, was

27:14

Jesus like the weird kid in

27:17

class? Oh

27:19

man. Yeah. What was Jesus as a kid?

27:21

Yeah. Like Jesus. We need you to fucking

27:23

swim. Not walk on water. I

27:28

mean, did he even bother going to class like

27:31

learning math on an abacus? He's like, I got

27:33

I just know why I'm here. I don't need

27:35

math. I

27:38

need to save all of you and they're like

27:40

Jesus. Everyone needs that. Maybe

27:44

he didn't go to class and that's why he was such a

27:46

bad carpenter. Wait,

27:48

was he a bad carpenter? I

27:50

don't know if he was a bad carpenter, but why don't

27:53

we see any of his tables? You

27:55

think it was a good carpenter. Don't

27:57

you think we'd see like the table

27:59

Jesus? made in a museum

28:01

or something you are

28:03

blowing my fucking mind

28:06

you're right we would have

28:08

tables Jesus made or we have

28:11

a chair or a foot tub

28:13

something there's nothing do this

28:16

is why there's so

28:18

many feet fetishes because

28:20

of Jesus yeah

28:23

maybe men are like let me suck on them toes so

28:25

I could be like the Lord they just

28:27

started reading the Bible they're like you can

28:30

watch someone's feet they do

28:34

it like oh my god I gotta

28:36

wash more feet these feet these stinky

28:38

feet are for me this

28:41

is so funny yeah Jesus

28:44

sucked at carpentry this is

28:46

wild that's

28:49

it carpentry he had a foot fetish yeah

28:53

I'm pretty gay yeah I

28:56

don't want to actually

29:02

do this look at someone else build this for me but

29:05

I really love the thought of Jesus in school

29:09

just like not doing anything he's told

29:12

I watch that show right

29:15

like you just pull them with the girls and

29:17

he's like let me wash your feet come on

29:19

he's turning pencil into worms oh

29:21

my god that's funny that's

29:23

the whole show it's just old tiny pranks

29:26

nothing else happens there is no

29:28

BC storyline it is just Jesus

29:30

doing pranks it's

29:33

called young Jesus yes and it airs right

29:35

after young Sheldon to add more to the

29:37

maybe like Jesus is gay is that what

29:45

we're going off of I think we

29:47

are yeah yeah that's what's in there if

29:49

you think about the Last Supper I don't

29:51

think there's any women there right

29:53

I think it's just all guys at

29:55

the Last Supper yeah I feel like

29:58

Mary Magdalene was there I think I

30:01

don't think so. I think it was

30:03

just the 12 disciples and servers. Oh, okay.

30:06

And servers, as he said? Somebody had

30:08

to bring the bread and the fish.

30:12

And somebody had to bring the wine that they're going to

30:14

turn, or no, the water that they turn into wine and

30:16

then get mad when they bust the table and be like,

30:19

we didn't serve them wine. Okay,

30:22

so Bar-Solomule is there. Gay. James.

30:26

Son of Alpheus. Andrew.

30:29

Judas Iscariot. Peter. John.

30:31

Thomas. James the Greater.

30:33

Definitely gay. Philip. Matthew.

30:36

Jude. Sadius. What?

30:40

And then Simon the Zealot. Why do

30:42

some people have rapper names? Simon

30:46

the Zealot. Oh, zealot. Simon the

30:48

Zealot. That's

30:52

a rapper. Simon James the Greater.

30:55

Yeah, Simon the Zealot. And

30:57

James the Greater. But

31:00

Bar-Solomule, that name fucking

31:03

hits. That's a good name. I

31:05

wonder if they called him Bart. Or...

31:08

Bartneu. Ew. Come on, mew. Also,

31:18

was this kind of a cult? Well,

31:20

I think a lot

31:22

of history buffs would

31:24

probably say that most

31:26

religions, when they're new, are viewed

31:28

as cults. So I think there

31:30

were definitely people who thought that

31:33

this was a cult. You're like

31:35

worshipping a person that

31:37

people can see. And

31:43

dedicating their life to their

31:45

value system. And I

31:48

think that was an issue for the

31:50

Christians when Christianity started. Which

31:55

is why they were persecuted so much. But now

31:57

Christianity is such a large... religion.

32:01

I don't think it's

32:03

no longer looked as a cult, but smaller

32:05

religions that keep starting that are newer, people

32:08

think they're cults. Until they're not,

32:10

you know, until history or time or

32:12

whatever tells us, oh it's fine.

32:16

To share. Mm-hmm. Should

32:18

we start? A

32:22

religion! What would

32:24

our religion be? Okay, we're

32:28

shipping badass bitches.

32:30

Okay, I like

32:32

that. You have to pray

32:34

to us. You and me?

32:37

I don't know, I don't know. I could never

32:40

start a religion, I could never. It would

32:42

be all stupid stuff and people would

32:44

be like, this is actually dumb. Hmm,

32:46

I think I'd want like a

32:49

real chill, peaceful religion.

32:51

Like we go out and

32:53

meditate. What else

32:55

would we do? Mmm,

32:59

I don't know. I kind of like other

33:01

people's planning activities. I don't know what

33:03

activities to plan. Same. I

33:05

would never know what to

33:07

plan in religious day. Wait,

33:10

what'd you say? You'd be the bad,

33:12

badass bitches? Yes! Nothing

33:15

clever, just the bab. Yeah, I like

33:17

it. I like it too. Okay,

33:20

we're the bab. Mm-hmm.

33:22

Praise bab. Praise

33:24

bab! It

33:26

sounds like we're praising Barbra Streisand.

33:29

And why not?

33:32

And also, yes. Have

33:35

you ever heard the song Barbra Streisand?

33:37

Oh yeah. It's just

33:39

Barbra Streisand. It's very silly. Has she mentioned

33:46

anything about that song? Does she like the song?

33:48

I don't know. Does

33:51

she think it's cool? Does she even know about it? Who

33:54

knows? You know she

33:57

duplicated her dogs. She cloned her dogs.

34:00

No, I did not know that. Yeah. She

34:03

has dogs that are not of this earth. I

34:06

think I might be making that up. I

34:13

hope you are. But maybe

34:16

I guess you

34:18

can technically clone a dog, right?

34:20

You can clone a sheep. Yeah. So

34:22

I think you can clone a dog. Articles

34:25

say she was flattered by the song. Okay.

34:29

Oh, good. Can you now look up

34:31

if she cloned her dog? Was

34:34

it like her, maybe a pet passed

34:37

and she missed

34:39

it and was cloned it? I think

34:41

she did it before it passed away. In

34:44

anticipation? I think so. Two

34:48

of her dogs are clones of her

34:51

late dog Sammy. Miss

34:53

Violet and Miss Scarlet. Okay.

34:55

In a frank and lengthy

34:58

interview and variety, Barbra Streisand

35:00

dropped one very notable aside.

35:03

That two of her dogs were clones of previous

35:05

dog Samantha who had recently died.

35:08

Yeah. Wow. How do you get? Okay. Who,

35:12

what, who,

35:14

who, who, who,

35:17

who, who. Barbra

35:20

Streisand. What, what, what, what, what, what.

35:28

How does it clone a dog? Did

35:30

you get a clue? Did you know

35:33

about it? Why? Why,

35:35

Barbra Streisand. Um,

35:37

where are you going to get a clone of a

35:39

dog? There's no clone store. I

35:42

guess there's probably a lab. This

35:45

seems like a thing that only rich people are privy to.

35:49

That is so wild. Like

35:51

how much does it cost to clone a

35:53

dog? Oh, I

35:56

imagine it's hefty. Using

35:59

the tissue sample from your dog? genetic

36:01

material to create their identical twin is

36:03

transferred into an egg cell and an

36:05

embryo is created. The embryo is then

36:07

implanted into a surrogate mom who carries

36:09

the pregnancy to term and cares for

36:11

the puppy in the same way as a

36:14

normal pregnancy. Not what I thought. And

36:17

for a dog it costs $50,000 to clone a dog

36:20

and for a cat is $35,000. Whoa! Why are cats

36:23

cheaper? That's pretty

36:26

rude. Yeah,

36:32

I don't understand what the difference would be. Yeah, why

36:34

am I getting a deal on my cat? Okay, here's

36:37

what I thought. Okay, so what did you think

36:39

was happening when we're cloning animals? I

36:41

guess I thought it was maybe like an embryo situation where

36:44

you do something

36:46

in like a test tube and

36:48

implant it in a body

36:50

and then it becomes

36:52

a thing and birth happens.

36:55

Wow. Okay, I thought we're

36:57

putting a dog on one table

37:00

and then the other table has nothing on it and you

37:03

press a button and then another

37:05

dog appears on the empty table.

37:10

I think no. It

37:13

never occurred to me that we're

37:16

splicing shit and doing shit. Like

37:19

something has to give birth, like never

37:21

in my life. I thought a dog

37:23

was just like appearing. No, I

37:29

don't think we have that kind of technology

37:31

yet. Whoa, never

37:33

occurred to me because then

37:36

that to me is not a clone. Why?

37:40

Because if we take matter

37:42

from me and implant it

37:45

in an embryo, isn't that just my child?

37:48

That's not a clone of

37:50

me. Hmm. So

37:53

maybe it's like all your exact chromosomes?

37:57

DNA? I don't know. I don't think we're doing that.

38:01

I think we're just making babies. Descendants,

38:04

if you will. I feel like I've seen

38:06

a headline that was like, someone

38:08

did try to clone their dog, and they were upset

38:10

that the personality was the same. And I was like,

38:12

well, it's a different dog. Wait,

38:15

that the personality wasn't the same? Yeah, as

38:18

the last dog. Yeah, because

38:20

I don't think we're cloning. I think

38:22

we're just making, like, twins.

38:24

And twins can be different. And twins, like,

38:26

descendants. Clones are

38:29

organisms that are exact genetic copies. Every

38:32

single bit of their DNA is identical. Clones can happen naturally. I

38:35

just don't buy. What

38:38

if Jesus, when he came out of the cave, is a clone? He

38:45

went in one person, came out a whole

38:47

different Jesus. Oh my God. It was a

38:49

magic trick. It was a magic

38:51

trick. And the Jesus that

38:53

we know today is just an evil

38:56

clone of Jesus from yesteryear. Oh, wow.

39:00

Wow. Wow. Wow.

39:03

What did Jesus do when he rose again? Did he just

39:05

chill for the rest of his life? You

39:08

know, that's the end of my knowledge of

39:10

Jesus. I don't know what happened after

39:12

he comes out of the cave. Me

39:15

either, because he had a pretty violent

39:17

death, and then woke up and was like, hey,

39:19

y'all. Just

39:21

kidding. Just kidding. JK.

39:25

Did he have another dinner? Like,

39:28

yeah, was the disciples still like his buds?

39:30

Were they still hanging out? Or

39:33

wait for the next 40 days? He

39:36

taught and ministered to his disciples in what

39:38

must have been an intensely powerful experience,

39:41

preparing them for his ascension

39:44

into heaven. The Savior's words

39:46

during these 40 days provided a wonderful

39:48

roadmap for us to use to

39:51

contemplate his assured, triumphal return

39:53

to earth. Is this

39:55

why people say 40 days and 40 nights?

39:58

I think there's also a movie about this, too. There

40:00

is and that is where that

40:03

man Moses doesn't have sex right?

40:05

Yeah Yeah,

40:09

what's his name? Josh Hartnett? Yeah, there

40:11

you go. Ooh He

40:13

really was a heartthrob But

40:15

I thought the 40 days and 49 was Moses's Well,

40:21

he was walking or whatever I don't know. My

40:23

people go Land

40:26

the chosen land whatever I

40:28

love those guessing Bible stories It

40:31

is fun for me because I went to church for

40:33

such a long time and one would think I would

40:35

have retained Any I mean

40:37

same same. I also grew up in the

40:39

church and I for Seemingly

40:41

I forgotten a lot Christianity's

40:46

suddenly uses 40 to designate important time

40:48

period Jesus was led out

40:51

There was a story where he was led

40:53

out into the desert for 40 days and

40:55

40 nights So like he didn't eat

40:57

he was just like really meditating and

40:59

I think when he came back He

41:01

started like hitting up his disciples like

41:03

you're a disciple. You're a disciple Oh,

41:05

so that's the war they nailed him to the

41:07

cross Yeah

41:10

They say it's Matthew 4 1

41:13

through 11. Wait, that's so nuts

41:15

this man. Honestly No,

41:17

I'm not following Jesus anywhere. You went into

41:20

the desert for 40 fucking days and 40 nights

41:22

like You're

41:24

twisted in the head like you're hungry. You're

41:26

not telling me anything of value like you

41:28

need water Do you know what I'm saying? And

41:31

then it's like you're inviting me to dinner and tell

41:33

me who's betraying who like you

41:35

still need to you need to recover Do you know

41:38

but maybe people followed him because they were like

41:40

wow He survived 40

41:43

days and 40 nights without any food or

41:45

water. That's impressive He must be the son

41:47

of God almost everything he has to say

41:50

Maybe wait, but did we figure out how

41:52

long he lived after he came back? He

41:57

ascended to heaven after he talked to

41:59

his voice Oh, he

42:01

like straight up flew away. I think so. Oh

42:04

then I would believe yeah if

42:06

I watch somebody Fly

42:08

up to shoot up to heaven after being

42:10

dead coming back. Oh, yeah, I'd be like,

42:13

oh, I'm all in you guys don't even

42:15

know This

42:18

man shot right up to heaven. Yeah. Yeah

42:23

Wow, how wild his ascension

42:25

occurred fully 40 days after

42:28

Easter, okay Wow

42:33

All right, that's crazy and do you think he kept being

42:35

like and I might go I might be going any day

42:37

y'all I might be going in the middle of

42:39

the sentence. I might be going

42:41

anytime y'all better listen. I listen Sending

42:44

I'm getting out of here sleep

42:47

with one eye open. I might not be here in the morning.

42:49

You never know and

42:52

honestly how traumatic for his mother Like

42:56

my yeah, I'm sure child who flunks

42:58

at a school was a bad carpenter

43:01

Went into the woods for 40 days came

43:03

back all hungry and bleary-eyed Then

43:06

they strung him up to a cross and I had a

43:08

watch then they put him in a cave and then he

43:10

left the cave And now

43:12

he's flying up to heaven. Like

43:14

that's crazy. That's crazy. Wow There

43:17

hasn't been another one like him No

43:20

But really he's coming back. Wait,

43:22

you've coming back. That's

43:24

what that's what that's what the Bible says. He's supposed to

43:27

come back To earth

43:29

at some point for what? You

43:31

know I

43:34

don't know what he's gonna do. Yeah come

43:36

back when we need him. What's on his agenda? What's

43:38

on the itinerary? I Don't

43:40

know Tell him

43:43

more stuff Interesting

43:45

I if okay if

43:47

this year tomorrow ring-a-ling-ling I call

43:49

you and I go listen

43:51

Jesus came back and he's in He

43:55

is in Wyoming

43:57

you want to take a road trip? Would you go? to

44:01

see Jesus? Yeah. Yeah.

44:04

I think I would go too. Yeah, what's

44:06

the up to? Yeah, I got questions.

44:08

Okay, the second coming is the

44:10

Christian belief that Jesus Christ will

44:12

return to earth after his ascension

44:14

to heaven which is said to

44:16

have occurred about 2,000 years

44:18

ago. The idea is based on the Messianic

44:21

prophecies and is part of

44:23

most Christian eschatology.

44:28

I'll tell you something. He left 2,000 years

44:31

ago. That man

44:33

is not coming back. Y'all

44:36

think after 2,000 years he's gonna be like,

44:40

I promised. I did

44:42

tell them I come back. No, he's not coming back

44:44

for me. He's not coming back. He's a big risk

44:46

and never came back. But

44:48

also pretty gaggie to wait 2,000 years to

44:50

come back after you promised. You thought I

44:52

wouldn't come back. Regards down. When

46:51

there a matching bottom to this sweatshirt?

46:54

Unfortunately, no. Thank

46:58

you. Thank you for your thoughts at this time. Hi,

47:03

Nicole and Sishear. Jordan

47:05

and Judith and Kimmy, thank you so much for

47:07

this podcast. It makes me cry laughing all the

47:10

time. I'm

47:12

calling because I

47:14

have an unfortunate crush,

47:16

I guess we could say. So

47:19

there's this guy who

47:22

is actually my dance teacher, but it's

47:24

not weird. I'm 29. We're

47:27

all adults. Sounds like a weird

47:29

teacher-student thing. But he's

47:31

been in his class for a couple of years now, and

47:33

I really just wanted to be his friend for a while.

47:35

You can see he's a very cool person. And

47:38

I recently joined this class to dance and have

47:40

fun, but also make new friends. And

47:43

recently we've actually kind of started

47:45

to become friends. Like,

47:48

we don't hang out outside of it, but

47:50

I was so excited about it. But

47:53

then I made a crucial error. A

47:55

couple nights, my man was using

47:57

my vibrator and he just popped into my head.

48:00

And you know, sometimes if you're just in the zone,

48:02

you gotta go with the pops in your head. And

48:05

now I feel like I've tricked myself

48:07

instead of having like a pretty big crush on

48:09

him. And I'm not really

48:11

sure what to do. For some

48:13

context, it's a little confusing because I'm

48:15

bisexual and have very much always seen

48:18

myself falling in love with a woman. And

48:21

he is possibly

48:23

100% gay, but I also

48:25

think he's bisexual, but I also think he's not

48:28

into me at all. And

48:30

so really what I'm hoping to do is just kind of

48:32

get over this and go

48:34

back to my intended wanted friend

48:37

crush instead of this crush

48:39

crush. So I'm wondering if you

48:41

have any advice on how to move

48:43

out of this feeling and

48:45

back into where I was.

48:49

And just wanting to see the whole friend. So

48:51

thank you guys so much. Love

48:54

the podcast and bye. Hmm.

49:01

I mean, crushes are fun.

49:03

And if you don't actually intend

49:05

on doing anything, you can keep

49:07

masturbating to this person as much as you want. I

49:10

don't know. Have fun. And

49:13

I guess I think

49:15

the more you get to know somebody, it's the

49:20

possibility of you like

49:22

taking a fantasy away increases

49:26

unless this person is awesome. And

49:28

also exactly your type and dateable. Then

49:30

I'm sorry, you're fucked. But, you

49:34

know, maybe like if you actually get

49:36

to know this person as a person and you start

49:38

like being like, oh, they're flaws and like things like

49:40

X and things that you probably wouldn't like. Maybe

49:44

they'll take away some of the fantasy

49:46

allure. Mm hmm.

49:49

Yeah, I mean, I masturbate

49:53

to a lot of people that I

49:55

like would never

49:57

date because it's fun to be

49:59

like. What about this? And

50:02

then also I have masturbated to people and

50:04

been like, ooh, that actually took me out.

50:08

And then I have to like just go to sleep and

50:10

be sad about it, because I'm like, ooh,

50:12

yuck. But

50:15

I kind of agree, like having a crush is

50:17

fun, especially if you like don't intend on acting

50:19

on it. And it's

50:21

fun to be like, what if? And

50:24

then I think it's like easy to like put in your mind,

50:26

it's like, this crush, this is one

50:28

sided. This person isn't into

50:30

me and I'm just having

50:32

like a little bit of fun. A

50:35

little bit of, what am I

50:37

thinking of? A little bit of Monica

50:39

in my life. In my life, a

50:41

little bit of, yeah, you're just Mambo

50:44

number five-ing. Yeah. You're

50:47

not even his Mambo number one,

50:49

you're his number five. Yes, yes.

50:51

And then if he like hits

50:54

on you, what fun? That's

50:57

right, yeah, it was kind of fun. Just

51:00

ride it, have a nice time. Don't

51:02

put any stakes into it. Yeah.

51:07

Solved. But

51:09

I mean, if you really wanna like not think

51:12

about this person romantically and you really don't wanna

51:14

have a crush, get a new

51:16

person to think about when you masturbate. And then every

51:18

time you see them, just be like, friend, that's

51:20

my friend. And then, fake

51:22

it till you make it, baby. Solved.

51:26

Solved. Okay,

51:29

hey, Nicoleans this year. I've been with

51:32

my boyfriend for about a year now.

51:34

And pretty early in tar dating, I

51:36

started to notice that he has some

51:39

signs of neurodiversity. Yeah,

51:41

neurodiversity, hyper-focus, poor term,

51:44

poor short-term memory, stimming,

51:46

and some sensory sensitivities. At

51:49

first, I just figured maybe he was waiting

51:51

for the right time to talk about it,

51:53

which I totally understand. I also have a

51:55

disability and I don't like talking about it

51:57

too early. However, it's been.

52:00

a year and at this point I

52:02

know he won't acknowledge that there's a

52:04

possibility he's on the spectrum. I've tried bringing

52:06

it up to him before and he always

52:09

says something along the lines of it really wouldn't matter

52:11

to have a diagnosis because it wouldn't change anything so

52:13

isn't worth looking into. I want

52:16

to respect his journey and

52:18

some people really don't want the label but

52:20

it's hard because I do think having that

52:23

shared understanding would help us communicate better in

52:25

our relationship. Did something similar ever

52:27

influence your relationship before Nicole was diagnosed

52:30

with ADHD and Nicole do you think

52:32

you would have handled it well

52:34

if a friend or a loved one tried to

52:36

tell you you were neurodiverse. I just

52:39

want to love him for who he

52:41

is without feeling like there is a

52:43

big element we are ignoring. Thanks for

52:46

sharing and making me laugh every week.

52:48

I love you both. Um I

52:51

think I was just like weird and maybe

52:53

a little annoying before I was

52:56

diagnosed and I don't think I've changed

52:58

very much. I have?

53:01

Yeah I have. Yeah

53:04

I mean I think since

53:06

your diagnosis you it's

53:08

like you there's

53:13

like a thing

53:16

to point at or like trace back

53:18

to like oh I forgot this

53:20

thing because I didn't take my medicine or

53:23

oh this you know like there's

53:25

like more like yeah

53:27

there's more clues yeah

53:30

where before yeah I'd be like okay I

53:32

guess just forgot

53:34

this thing or she's late or this you

53:36

know like and then be like well that's

53:39

us but now it's like oh there's a

53:41

reason why all this is happening. I yeah

53:44

it's helpful. I

53:46

I often think back to when we were

53:49

having a conversation about black China and Rob

53:51

Kardashian and we were having a

53:53

conversation and then there was quiet and I went

53:55

were we having a conversation you were like

53:57

yes and I was like mmm What

54:00

was it about? Yeah,

54:04

it was just the two of us sitting

54:06

on your couch, I think, looking at

54:08

each other. And

54:10

I looked at the ceiling, and

54:13

then it left that we were having

54:15

a conversation. And I think you

54:17

were like, are you okay? And

54:19

I was like, yeah, but

54:22

I really can't remember what we were talking

54:24

about. And that was a turning point for

54:26

me, because I was like, oh, I've got

54:28

to figure this out. Because

54:32

similar things had happened through my life.

54:35

I was at a play with my friend

54:37

John Mason, and he was talking

54:40

to me during intermission. And then I looked

54:42

at the stage, and then he kept talking, and I looked back

54:44

at him, and I was like, who are you talking to? And

54:46

he was like, you! And

54:48

I was like, oh, no. So

54:53

I think mine were just like a little quirky,

54:56

like very quirky. But

54:59

it is nice when I'm on stage, or like if

55:01

I'm babbling, I could be like, I'm sorry, I didn't

55:03

take my medicine, or it's worn off, or hey, man,

55:06

that's just how I am sometimes.

55:10

But my therapist said something to me

55:12

that makes a lot of sense. Some

55:14

people don't want to know, and they don't need

55:17

to know, and they're just okay with who

55:19

they are. And

55:21

I think when our listener says that you

55:23

love him for who he is, this is

55:25

a part of who he is. He

55:27

is a person who is absolutely

55:29

fine with all of his quirks

55:32

and stuff. And I

55:36

know you're like, oh, we could have a shared language

55:38

about that. But

55:41

you don't have to. That's the thing that he doesn't want

55:43

to have. But

55:45

a thing I do with friends

55:48

who seem on

55:50

the spectrum but don't really acknowledge it is

55:52

I'll be like, oops, that's my little

55:54

spectrum-y thing. And then sometimes they'll be like, oh,

55:56

that's my spectrum-y thing. So it's not like I've

55:59

worn that. them down, but it's like,

56:01

oh, just an acknowledgement of they're on the

56:03

spectrum too. But also, why

56:06

do you need that confirmation? I

56:09

wonder if, I

56:14

feel like if I were

56:16

in our writer's shoes, maybe I would

56:18

want the confirmation because I

56:20

wonder if any of these, I don't

56:26

know, the things that she's noticing

56:28

are, affecting

56:31

their communication or temperament. Sometimes it's easier when

56:33

you're like, oh, this

56:42

person has ADHD or something else. Well,

56:44

that leads to a lot of other things. It

56:46

opens the door to other things like, oh, this

56:49

type of person with this type of mindset usually

56:52

has this kind of temperament or this is

56:54

a common thing that happens. So it's, I

56:57

guess, maybe easier to talk about than being like, well,

56:59

we don't know why you get really

57:01

upset when I don't fold the clothes

57:04

this way. Or like, we don't really

57:06

know why you, like this habitual thing

57:08

keeps happening. And that's hard for us

57:10

to talk about because you won't figure

57:12

it out. It's

57:15

not completely necessary. I

57:18

could see why this person thinks that it might be

57:20

easier for them to navigate

57:23

certain things in their relationship. But you

57:25

can also talk about each of

57:27

those things individually as they come up. Yeah,

57:32

I don't know. I guess, I think

57:34

there's like no right answer. I think

57:36

it's like, yeah. But

57:38

I think maybe, oh, right answer

57:40

is not to push this person if

57:42

they don't actually want to do

57:45

any research on this because their business, their

57:49

brain. And

57:52

yeah, I also like Nicole's suggestion of like,

57:54

you know, voicing your own stuff,

57:56

because maybe that would inspire them to be

57:58

like, oh, Oh, that's your

58:01

that's your spectrum a thing. Maybe I have a thing like

58:03

that And maybe they

58:05

won't do that. I don't know but I

58:08

think as long as it's not like Super detrimental

58:10

to your relationship, which I hope it wouldn't wouldn't

58:12

be I think

58:14

it's like okay to leave alone Yeah,

58:17

I think so because

58:20

also Spectrum II things when

58:22

they happen sometimes are hard to explain to

58:24

people even when they know you like people

58:26

know I have ADHD and and

58:30

Some things that like what you wouldn't think happen

58:32

with age like I like I like

58:37

I'm pretty chaotic, but I like Patterns

58:41

and I like when things are

58:43

the same so like

58:45

in pole I have to put my bag in the

58:47

same place that it always goes

58:49

and when I

58:51

explained it to my poll to

58:54

Veronica she very much accepted it because

58:56

I'm I'm I have weird things But

58:59

like it is nice when someone

59:01

know like when you can kind of explain it

59:03

or articulate it and then that person Remembers

59:06

like on Sunday she had her stuff where my stuff

59:08

goes and I I took a deep breath and I

59:10

went I can Change and that's okay. And then she

59:13

went you don't have to I can move my stuff

59:15

and I went. Thank you so much I like that

59:19

Oh So

59:23

maybe that's what our listener is wanting

59:26

like to be able to make adjustments

59:28

and know why they need things a

59:30

certain way but also that

59:33

is their business and it's okay if they

59:35

don't want a diagnosis because It

59:38

seems as if this his diagnosis is more

59:41

for our listener than them because they accepted

59:43

it and they're fine Mm-hmm.

59:45

Yeah But

59:48

again, there is no real answer. Yeah,

59:50

just maybe sharing your experience more might

59:52

help them open up. Mm-hmm

59:56

Yeah, and not trying to push too hard.

59:58

Mm-hmm if they don't want to do so Yeah.

1:00:01

Solved! Wait,

1:00:05

Sashira, do you have like specific things?

1:00:07

Like do you have sound things or

1:00:09

like touch things or like, like

1:00:12

you like things a specific way about anything?

1:00:15

Mouth sounds really irritate me.

1:00:17

Like open mouth chewing, gum

1:00:20

chewing. Yeah. But like actually

1:00:22

hurts me. Actually it's kind of grating.

1:00:27

And I'm

1:00:30

sure I have other things that I probably haven't even thought of. But

1:00:33

I can't, I don't know if I need,

1:00:35

if I have like position things, like if I need things to

1:00:37

be in a certain place all the time. Mmm.

1:00:40

I don't know. But I,

1:00:42

I, I took

1:00:45

a like, a couple actually

1:00:47

ADHD. Do

1:00:49

you have it? Quizzes? Mm

1:00:51

hmm. And I, and I, it's like light. It's ever so

1:00:54

slight. And

1:00:56

I notice it a little bit more when I like

1:00:58

zone out or do other, like so

1:01:00

many other things than the thing I actually intend

1:01:02

on doing. I'll like clean a whole house as

1:01:04

opposed to like read one email. Mm

1:01:08

hmm. Mm hmm. But I

1:01:10

think also with just the

1:01:14

era we're in and like phone

1:01:17

culture and like I think everyone's attention span

1:01:19

is just like dying and everyone's

1:01:21

a little bit, got,

1:01:24

they have a little bit of something. Um,

1:01:26

yeah. But

1:01:28

I don't think I can think of anything that I like

1:01:32

need, need. Mmm. Jordan,

1:01:35

Judith, do you have any like specific

1:01:37

things that you're like, uh,

1:01:40

specific about that like really, really

1:01:42

grind your gears and make you mad

1:01:44

when they don't happen? Mmm.

1:01:47

Mine is, and I actually discovered

1:01:49

it recently and it's not anything

1:01:51

that someone does. I mean, I have like

1:01:54

little annoyances that like if the

1:01:56

dishes are not cleaned a certain way or something. So

1:01:58

I feel like that's just nasty. natural human

1:02:01

thing. No, it's not. Some people love a

1:02:03

dirty dish. Oh, weird,

1:02:05

okay. Oh, I've seen people

1:02:07

dish something. I'm like, ooh, isn't that clean? Oh,

1:02:10

weird. Okay, well, so the one that I

1:02:12

picked up on, and I never thought I'd

1:02:14

be like a texture type of person, but

1:02:17

there I got this like

1:02:19

eyebrow, to help you like grow your eyebrows

1:02:21

more. And I

1:02:23

remember feeling the outside of the bottle

1:02:26

and I like jumped and like had

1:02:28

to throw it because the texture and

1:02:30

the, I was like, ah, like when

1:02:32

it scared

1:02:34

me how much I was like, I hate

1:02:37

the texture of this. And I've seen people be that

1:02:39

way with like, if they hear, if they hear

1:02:41

or touch styrofoam, if there's like

1:02:43

other pieces of texture. I one time dated a

1:02:46

guy who like, I was cutting like a piece

1:02:48

of chicken on my plate and he was like,

1:02:50

oh, like stop like grinding your fork against the

1:02:52

plate. And I was like, I didn't even notice

1:02:54

it. But something about the outside of the bottle

1:02:56

of this eyebrow thing, now

1:02:59

I get it. I was like, oh, this

1:03:01

is what everyone's talking about. Yeah,

1:03:05

a little thing for me, I have a little thing

1:03:08

and then a bigger thing, but little thing for me,

1:03:10

dishes before I hit the bed, they have to be

1:03:12

clean. I don't like a dirty dish in the

1:03:14

sink. Like I just imagine just

1:03:17

insects of all kinds coming out and

1:03:20

having a smorgasbord of food, like I can't

1:03:22

do it. So, and then the bigger thing

1:03:24

is with a lot of the news and

1:03:27

how everything has been so terrible,

1:03:30

I've been like, I think my anxiety has

1:03:32

really spiked, I think in the last two

1:03:35

years. I didn't really think I had

1:03:37

anxiety, but with everything that's gone on,

1:03:40

like even bigger issue things, whether

1:03:42

it's politics or just stuff,

1:03:44

like I will spiral

1:03:46

and then I have to bring myself out, like

1:03:48

no, the earth is still, I guess safe to

1:03:51

be here. I don't know, like it's very much

1:03:53

like I get really into the weeds and then

1:03:55

I have to be like, you can't control it,

1:03:57

you just have to move through life. the

1:04:00

best way you can. But these past years

1:04:03

after the pandemic have really terrified

1:04:05

me, to be honest. Yeah. I'm

1:04:08

moving into covering my ankles. I don't

1:04:12

like my ankles covered. And I've

1:04:14

been experimenting with longer socks. This

1:04:19

is a big deal because you like

1:04:21

we know how you're like, you're similar

1:04:24

to me where you like the cropped

1:04:26

pants and like we let our ankles

1:04:28

like I also am not yes I

1:04:30

let my ankles breathe and I wore

1:04:32

socks for like a whole night

1:04:34

that come like came up to my ankles

1:04:36

covered my ankles. And when I took them

1:04:39

off, I was like, Oh, wow,

1:04:42

let the dogs out. I was it was like

1:04:44

really like it felt insane. And I was like,

1:04:46

I don't know how these people are walking around with

1:04:48

socks on their ankles like this. Here's

1:04:51

a question. Do these socks

1:04:53

match? They did and

1:04:55

the world didn't end. Whoa.

1:04:57

Yeah, it was pretty wild for me. And

1:05:00

the person I was with didn't notice and

1:05:02

I made a big deal about I can't

1:05:06

believe you don't know is my ankles are both

1:05:08

pink and they're covered. I'm

1:05:11

not paying these are socks, dog.

1:05:14

I'm a changed person. Can you believe

1:05:17

it? Oh my god. Did

1:05:19

it feel like taking off abroad at the end of

1:05:22

the day like that feeling like relief? Well,

1:05:24

I keep my bra on for most of

1:05:26

the time. But I assume that's

1:05:28

what people feel like. Yeah.

1:05:32

Well, that's it for this episode.

1:05:34

I asked everyone their things so

1:05:36

I could reveal I covered my

1:05:39

ankles. And if you have

1:05:41
