Listen to Jordan's heart. Listen

42:02

to Jordan's heart. In therapy and

42:04

in dating, that's Jordan's. Listen

42:06

to my heart, Jordan says.

42:08

Exactly. Exactly. You probably said

42:10

that at some point on your

42:12

mushrooms retreat, Nicky. Don't

42:14

get all hoity-toity with us. You

42:18

fucked a few therapists, didn't it? No,

42:23

the funny thing is, I feel like when

42:25

I first started doing therapy, my

42:28

very first therapist was like a

42:30

sliding scale, like I was like

42:32

broke bastard, and he was like

42:35

a student or something, you know, getting his hours.

42:39

And he- That was my first therapist too. Not

42:41

that guy. Yeah, which is great. I mean,

42:44

you can have like a great experience with

42:46

the ones that are in training. And

42:49

the problem was he would like, he started like

42:51

laugh at my jokes. And

42:54

then I was like basically testing material

42:56

on him, you know. And then I was like,

42:58

I don't think this is how it's supposed to

43:00

be. I think it was a part of my

43:03

problem. And I shouldn't have this

43:05

relationship with a therapist so that I'm, you

43:07

know, I found someone else. You

43:09

shouldn't be asking your therapist, does this need a tag? Yeah,

43:11

yeah, yeah. Like where did that,

43:13

where did I lose you on that? Once

43:17

in a while my therapist will bring up

43:19

something that happened on Hollywood Handbook this week.

43:21

They're funny. They're really funny. It's a funny

43:23

show. Like they're good guys too. Nice guys.

43:27

Yeah, I

43:29

have been going through a mushroom thing.

43:31

And I think, Nageen, the

43:33

thing that impresses me most about your mushroom

43:35

story is that as

43:38

a parent, you were able to

43:40

find a week to go to Jamaica to go on

43:42

this retreat. I know. My

43:45

neurologist- Isn't that nuts? My neurologist

43:47

sent me to this mushroom

43:50

doctor that she

43:52

was working on a research project with. And

43:56

my neurologist is like the

43:58

squarest human being I've ever known. sometimes,

48:00

you know, and I have not because it

48:02

is very hard to get,

48:04

you know, when you get those like

48:06

little 30 minute breaks where like you're

48:08

not needed anywhere for 30 minutes and

48:10

there's no one asking for anything, like

48:13

those are like my vacant, like those are

48:15

like the, the, like time off. I don't

48:17

know how to get a full,

48:19

like this was a very unusual situation to

48:22

get the other day of just doing that.

48:24

The other day. And we should explain, uh,

48:27

since you don't know, Nageen, Jordan

48:29

is childless though. He's working on getting

48:31

a son. I gotta get a son.

48:33

I'm working on it. These are people,

48:35

things we say on the show sometimes.

48:37

Nageen, people are freaking out that I

48:39

said that. People are losing their minds.

48:42

They're swerving their cars off the road.

48:44

They're like, ah, Jordan's got your son!

48:46

They said it! I'm working on it!

48:50

And, uh, anyway, Jordan, Jordan is

48:52

childless, but- It's very exciting. I

48:55

had, I had this experience the other day.

48:57

Black Flag smashes that watermelon. I

49:00

have, uh, I have

49:02

three children, all of whom

49:04

have significant developmental differences. And

49:07

so my life is just consumed by

49:09

caring for my children at all times,

49:11

including when I'm supposed to be working

49:13

or whatever. Right now, I'm caring for

49:15

my children somehow. I'm not sure how,

49:17

uh, I'm hiding in the shed.

49:20

Well, you're cooking dinosaur chicken nuggets.

49:23

Yeah. But the other

49:25

day I was on Reddit in

49:27

the number one drama filled action

49:31

subreddit, Ask Los Angeles. And

49:34

someone said nine to fivers. What do

49:36

you like to do after work? And

49:38

people were like, I, I always go to

49:40

the gym for an hour and then I

49:42

come home, make dinner and watch some shows.

49:45

So they're like, I love hiking. So most

49:47

days I'll go hiking, but sometimes I'll hit

49:49

up the happy hours. And like just all

49:51

these really pleasant, great

49:53

attitude things. Some people are like, I'm a

49:55

homebody. I just like to go home and

49:57

do some work on my quilting. you know,

50:00

whatever it is. And

50:02

my only reaction to this whole

50:04

list of just positive uses of

50:07

people's time was anger. Just pure,

50:09

just pure uncut rage. This is what

50:12

leads to shitposting. That they

50:14

have hobbies and positive feelings

50:16

about themselves. You

50:19

know what would be, not

50:23

summer boy, but sort of like Swedish

50:25

boy of the two of you is

50:27

if you combined forces. Uh-huh.

50:31

I'm with Smee. And had like, and

50:35

like lived collectively so

50:37

that you all, and then you

50:39

know, and you all

50:42

can raise each other's children, you

50:44

know, and your upcoming son, Jordan.

50:47

That would be amazing. That's a great idea. Yeah,

50:49

it'll be like being in an LCD sound system

50:51

concert all the time. All

50:53

the time. And then just throw on

50:56

some bakti riot in the background and

50:58

do your chanting. Because

51:00

I feel like every parent in

51:02

America needs to live collectively so

51:04

that we all get more breaks

51:06

and can like relax for five

51:08

minutes. Yeah, I think that's a great

51:10

idea. I also

51:13

think that it could help Jordan save on

51:15

rent, which in turn would help him build

51:17

his nest egg for son acquisition. There you

51:20

go. Yeah. I

51:22

could live in the shed. Yeah. Okay,

51:25

hold on. I have

51:28

to call movers. And

51:30

Jesse, give me the address of your shed. We'll

51:33

be back in just a second on Jordan, Jesse. People

51:41

say not to judge a fish by its ability

51:44

to climb a tree. Which is

51:46

why here on Just The Zoo Of Us, we judge

51:48

them by so much more. We

51:50

rate animals out of 10 in

51:52

the categories of effectiveness, ingenuity, and

51:54

aesthetics, taking into consideration each animal's

51:56

true strengths. Like a pigeon's ability

51:58

to tell a moan. including

54:00

yourselves will be on fake the nation.

54:02

We're going to come up with it. I've done

54:04

it a couple of times. I always have

54:06

a blast. It's so, so, so much fun.

54:08

Nagina's obviously hilarious. It's a fun time. And

54:10

y'all book funny people. I always have a

54:12

good time. We do. And

54:14

we also, you know, we have some unexpected

54:16

people that come on the show like Neil

54:19

de Grass Tyson and

54:22

journalists like Ellie Mistall, but it'll be like the journalists

54:24

that can hang and have a laugh. So

54:27

yeah. I don't like Neil de

54:30

Grass Tyson. So definitely tune in. Oh boy. I

54:32

don't like him because he- He

54:35

ruined Jurassic Park for you? Because

54:37

he made fun of me for being scared of the

54:39

ocean because it goes on too far. No.

54:42

And space. I told him I was also,

54:44

I asked him if he was ever afraid of space because

54:46

it goes on almost forever and

54:48

it kind of is unsettling. And

54:51

he just made fun of me. He was mean to me. I

54:55

mean, I've said to him point blank that

54:57

I'm not a candidate for ever going on

54:59

any sort of space mission. I have

55:01

no, like I have literally no interest and

55:04

I do star talk sometimes. Is

55:06

this, wait, now hold on Nagina. Is

55:09

this your official position? I mean, is this just

55:12

for when you're talking to Neil de Grass

55:14

Tyson or is this overall you refuse to

55:16

travel to space? Look,

55:19

I mean, okay. So as a

55:21

fellow migraine sufferer, I also have

55:23

like, I get like a motion

55:25

sickness. I have a lot of

55:27

little problems everyone. And I,

55:30

it sounds like a vomit fest. Getting

55:33

in a spaceship just sounds like

55:35

me vomiting for several hours and

55:37

then coming back or whatever. You've

55:39

vomited in a spaceship. You got to live with

55:41

that vomit. Unless they got one of those vomit

55:43

vacuums. Yeah. Unless there's a

55:46

shop back up there. Everyone has to live

55:48

with your vomit. So it just sounds

55:50

like an unpleasant experience for me. Um,

55:53

also what if

55:55

I die? I guess that's also part of

55:57

it.
