Heavyweight Check In 5

Pushkin. Hello, Khalila, Hello, let me get Stevie hang on. 0:00:27.810 --> 0:00:32.890 Hello, Hi, Hey, Hey, how are we Stevie. 0:00:33.930 --> 0:00:36.850 I actually had a really great weekend. 0:00:37.450 --> 0:00:38.170 What did you do? 0:00:38.810 --> 0:00:40.810 I saw two friends this weekend. 0:00:41.050 --> 0:00:42.570 As in real life. 0:00:43.129 --> 0:00:46.410 Yeah, yeah, my friends Peter and Leo, and you know, 0:00:46.530 --> 0:00:50.209 we stayed six feet apart and everything. But like, like, 0:00:50.330 --> 0:00:55.130 I saw friends, and it's been so long since I've 0:00:55.569 --> 0:00:59.410 seen in person a friend. 0:01:00.170 --> 0:01:00.810 Yeah. 0:01:00.890 --> 0:01:03.690 I was waiting for them outside and I heard Peter go, 0:01:03.970 --> 0:01:09.369 you know, Stevie, and it was like immediately I felt 0:01:09.370 --> 0:01:11.130 like I was like lighter, you know, like it really 0:01:11.170 --> 0:01:13.569 lifted something, and I left feeling really. 0:01:13.490 --> 0:01:14.090 Light, like. 0:01:15.610 --> 0:01:19.530 I don't know, I don't really. Yeah, it was very 0:01:19.570 --> 0:01:21.450 hard to resist the urge to just go over and 0:01:21.490 --> 0:01:22.289 like give them a hug. 0:01:23.050 --> 0:01:23.530 It was like. 0:01:25.690 --> 0:01:27.210 Fighting with that, you know. 0:01:27.690 --> 0:01:32.970 Yeah. I also saw people for the first time, you know, 0:01:33.050 --> 0:01:39.170 ten feet apart this weekend, my in laws. They came by. 0:01:40.210 --> 0:01:42.650 I think it was nice for Aggie occasionally, of course, 0:01:42.690 --> 0:01:44.730 like you would forget and kind of run towards them 0:01:44.770 --> 0:01:48.410 and we'd have to pull them back ground Rampa, Aggie, 0:01:48.490 --> 0:01:52.170 stay stay back. Can I just feel ground Rampa? And 0:01:52.250 --> 0:01:54.770 I think those were the moments that felt the roughest 0:01:55.210 --> 0:01:58.010 because you know, it's sort of like you're negating this natural, 0:01:58.250 --> 0:02:02.330 wonderful tendency to run towards people that you love. Yeah, 0:02:02.810 --> 0:02:08.290 so Aggie and his grandparents were exchanging knock knock jokes. 0:02:08.450 --> 0:02:21.570 Aggie knock knock who. 0:02:18.330 --> 0:02:22.970 All of Augie's knock knock jokes made no sense? Knock 0:02:24.290 --> 0:02:35.050 and a doctor, doctor nas Lagula. Yeah, so that was 0:02:35.130 --> 0:02:38.530 kind of it was a mixed bag, but it was 0:02:38.970 --> 0:02:43.330 it was kind of nice. Yeah, Khalila, And what have 0:02:43.410 --> 0:02:45.050 you been up to? How was your weekend? 0:02:46.850 --> 0:02:52.170 Just something about like this past week especially, like I 0:02:52.210 --> 0:02:57.570 don't know, I think it just hit the point of 0:02:57.610 --> 0:03:03.090 really sort of feeling like gray. Like I feel like 0:03:03.130 --> 0:03:05.530 I really was like hitting a point of like despair 0:03:05.730 --> 0:03:16.050 kind of. Uh so this weekend, Sorry you guys, I 0:03:16.050 --> 0:03:17.730 don't know why I'm getting so emotional. 0:03:22.290 --> 0:03:24.049 It's okay, yeah. 0:03:24.210 --> 0:03:27.130 Yeah. So well so one thing we did. 0:03:26.970 --> 0:03:28.810 This weekend, this is you and your boyfriend? 0:03:29.090 --> 0:03:31.850 Yeah, me and sam my boyfriend got a zip car 0:03:32.090 --> 0:03:38.490 for yesterday to just like go somewhere else, which ended 0:03:38.570 --> 0:03:42.050 up being nice, Like we had a nice day, but 0:03:42.570 --> 0:03:44.970 the planning of it sort of just like it made 0:03:45.090 --> 0:03:47.410 us both feel worse because we were like, oh, like 0:03:47.690 --> 0:03:50.810 everything is closed, Like yeah. It just really made it 0:03:50.850 --> 0:03:53.970 feel like, oh, there's like nowhere, there's like nothing to do. 0:03:56.970 --> 0:04:02.850 And we ended up going to Fort Dolden and walking 0:04:02.850 --> 0:04:07.970 along the beach and having lunch out there, which was nice. Yeah. 0:04:08.050 --> 0:04:10.610 And then in the evening I watched a movie, which 0:04:10.650 --> 0:04:13.090 is like all I've been doing is watching a ton 0:04:13.130 --> 0:04:17.730 of movies. But I miss like going to like a 0:04:17.770 --> 0:04:22.969 movie theater, like going to the movies. So I made 0:04:23.010 --> 0:04:30.769 popcorn on the stove Twesdales sens oil, which I'd never 0:04:31.169 --> 0:04:33.049 made it on the stove before, Like I'd had it 0:04:33.049 --> 0:04:35.330 with my family that way, but I'd never just done 0:04:35.330 --> 0:04:36.009 it myself. 0:04:36.330 --> 0:04:37.969 And you've had popcorn in a movie theater. 0:04:38.770 --> 0:04:41.089 Yes, I've had plenty of popcorn in a movie theater. 0:04:41.130 --> 0:04:43.250 I once ate so much popcorn in a movie theater 0:04:43.289 --> 0:04:44.729 that I threw up afterwards. 0:04:45.169 --> 0:04:48.010 This was as a child, I'm assuming. 0:04:47.690 --> 0:04:51.089 Nope, this was like two years ago. Really so sad. 0:04:51.570 --> 0:04:54.210 No, that sounds like living the dream. How can you 0:04:54.250 --> 0:04:56.289 be sure that it was from overeating popcorn? 0:04:56.810 --> 0:04:59.210 This has happened to me? But before I think the 0:04:59.289 --> 0:05:01.690 problem is if I don't eat dinner and then I 0:05:01.770 --> 0:05:04.409 eat just popcorn with a lot of movie theater butter 0:05:04.529 --> 0:05:07.609 on it. It like makes me a little noxious, but 0:05:07.650 --> 0:05:09.529 I love it, so I always eat it anyway. 0:05:09.849 --> 0:05:12.410 Wow, So you so you really love popcorn? 0:05:12.810 --> 0:05:14.570 I love popcorn. Yeah. 0:05:14.609 --> 0:05:16.890 And did you use the technique of like where you 0:05:16.929 --> 0:05:18.969 wait for the first kernel to pop and then you 0:05:19.010 --> 0:05:20.969 start shaking the pan vigorously? 0:05:21.409 --> 0:05:21.609 Yeah? 0:05:21.609 --> 0:05:23.609 And actually when I heard the first one, I was like, 0:05:24.849 --> 0:05:25.969 a pop. 0:05:27.450 --> 0:05:28.410 That sounded like a. 0:05:28.369 --> 0:05:31.849 Pop really makes you question yourself? 0:05:32.130 --> 0:05:35.810 Yeah it does, but it turned out really well, and 0:05:35.849 --> 0:05:38.250 I put I melted real butter to put on it. 0:05:38.289 --> 0:05:39.929 Did it make you less naxious? 0:05:40.130 --> 0:05:42.930 Yeah, it actually did any success. You didn't throw up. 0:05:43.130 --> 0:05:44.049 I didn't throw up. 0:05:44.690 --> 0:05:47.049 What was there like something just about like having like 0:05:47.089 --> 0:05:48.289 popcorn to watch a movie with? 0:05:48.609 --> 0:05:48.809 Yeah? 0:05:48.810 --> 0:05:51.689 It was nice. Yeah, I mean it did make it 0:05:51.690 --> 0:05:53.849 feel more of like an event instead of just like 0:05:53.929 --> 0:05:54.729 filling the time. 0:05:54.810 --> 0:05:58.169 I guess there's something like just about the sound of 0:05:58.210 --> 0:06:00.770 popcorn popping that I think is like, universally like one 0:06:00.810 --> 0:06:02.330 of the most wonderful sounds. 0:06:02.650 --> 0:06:08.130 Yeah, that's great. I think we're in business here. 0:06:31.690 --> 0:06:33.409 You know what else I've been up to, and this 0:06:33.529 --> 0:06:34.770 is going to cheer you up. This is going to 0:06:34.849 --> 0:06:37.770 cheer us all up. Okay, you ready for some good cheer? 0:06:38.130 --> 0:06:41.489 I guess I decided that as a special surprise, I 0:06:41.529 --> 0:06:44.049 was going to check in with some favorite people from 0:06:44.049 --> 0:06:47.770 the show, people that we and America and parts of 0:06:47.770 --> 0:06:52.289 Canada have grown to love, like you. My old friend. 0:06:52.130 --> 0:06:53.330 Gregor a favorite. 0:06:53.330 --> 0:06:56.969 Indeed, we talked for a while. He's homeschooling his kids, 0:06:57.010 --> 0:06:59.890 he's taken on their education, and we got to talking 0:07:00.089 --> 0:07:06.210 and do you remember a young man named Joey? 0:07:06.169 --> 0:07:06.369 Yeah? 0:07:06.450 --> 0:07:07.409 How could I forget? 0:07:07.770 --> 0:07:07.969 Yeah? 0:07:08.130 --> 0:07:11.730 Could we forget? Two seasons ago, Gregor and I went 0:07:11.770 --> 0:07:15.210 to Los Angeles to help him. He had been banned 0:07:15.250 --> 0:07:19.610 from his favorite pizzeria, and Joey's kind of a sloppy guy, 0:07:19.610 --> 0:07:22.090 and he was having trouble with his roommates. 0:07:21.730 --> 0:07:25.170 Of which there were many many, yes. 0:07:25.250 --> 0:07:29.810 Yeah, many, many many roommates, And so Gregor and I 0:07:29.890 --> 0:07:33.290 had kind of decided that we would give Joey a call, 0:07:33.410 --> 0:07:36.090 check in with him and see how he's doing during 0:07:36.130 --> 0:07:41.770 this quarantine. There was something that happened during the course 0:07:41.810 --> 0:07:45.890 of our telephone call that kind of made Gregor and 0:07:45.890 --> 0:07:48.449 I feel really good about having called him in the 0:07:48.450 --> 0:07:50.850 first place. Because it seemed like he was still in 0:07:50.929 --> 0:07:54.490 need of our help. Joey, is this so? I think 0:07:54.530 --> 0:07:56.490 it is good to hear your voice. Guess who I 0:07:56.530 --> 0:07:57.450 have on the line here. 0:07:58.250 --> 0:08:00.689 It's a me, Joey, the one and only. 0:08:01.130 --> 0:08:02.929 You sound exactly the same, only healthier. 0:08:03.570 --> 0:08:06.050 I think I am healthier than the last time we 0:08:06.050 --> 0:08:06.809 were together. 0:08:07.410 --> 0:08:08.530 Yeah, you radiate health. 0:08:08.850 --> 0:08:11.170 My diet is a little more varied than it was 0:08:11.250 --> 0:08:11.730 when we. 0:08:11.690 --> 0:08:13.569 Last spoke, when it was just pizza. 0:08:13.970 --> 0:08:14.170 Yeah. 0:08:14.170 --> 0:08:17.170 I've moved on from dale old cold pizza to some 0:08:17.170 --> 0:08:18.050 some actual veggies. 0:08:18.090 --> 0:08:20.329 Now, go on, What do you got in your crisper drawer, Joey? 0:08:20.650 --> 0:08:22.850 The house? My house just went to the grocery store yesterday. 0:08:22.929 --> 0:08:29.130 So okay, we got egg plant, lemons, and limes. Oh, leaks. 0:08:29.170 --> 0:08:31.130 That's a fun one. Who whoever has a leak? 0:08:31.770 --> 0:08:34.010 I think we can pause you there, Joey. Do you 0:08:34.050 --> 0:08:35.130 still have that mustache? 0:08:35.410 --> 0:08:35.569 Yeah? 0:08:35.650 --> 0:08:37.610 Yeah, and I'm growing a quarantine beard as well. 0:08:37.970 --> 0:08:41.170 Are you still keeping up with your ruler blading for. 0:08:41.170 --> 0:08:43.330 The most part, I mean it's it's kind of slowed 0:08:43.370 --> 0:08:46.170 down because it's not super fun to roly blade in 0:08:46.210 --> 0:08:46.610 a mask. 0:08:47.010 --> 0:08:49.850 I think last week left Joey he had a roommate situation. 0:08:50.130 --> 0:08:50.610 That's right. 0:08:50.850 --> 0:08:53.570 So now what's what's your deal? You're living on your own. 0:08:54.530 --> 0:08:58.650 I I'm living in a much better situation now, living 0:08:58.690 --> 0:09:02.730 in a duplex apartment with six other boys, so you know, 0:09:02.810 --> 0:09:04.330 a little little tight quarters. 0:09:04.330 --> 0:09:07.450 But how many roommates did you have back back when I. 0:09:07.450 --> 0:09:08.250 Think it was five? 0:09:08.410 --> 0:09:09.930 And now you've got sick by want. 0:09:09.970 --> 0:09:13.850 Yeah, but it's a bigger space, it's like a real house. 0:09:14.850 --> 0:09:17.610 I'll admit. I still am in a curtained off kind 0:09:17.650 --> 0:09:20.610 of a makeshift living room turned bedroom. 0:09:20.650 --> 0:09:23.170 Deal. Wait, so you still have bed sheets for walls? 0:09:23.530 --> 0:09:26.170 Yeah, only one wall this time, as opposed to all 0:09:26.210 --> 0:09:26.890 of them. 0:09:27.290 --> 0:09:30.730 I gotta say, no offense to Joey, But Johnny, I 0:09:30.770 --> 0:09:33.730 think your craftsmanship in fixing Joey's life is questionable. 0:09:33.970 --> 0:09:35.370 No, it's way better now. 0:09:35.490 --> 0:09:37.170 Chick up another roommate and he's got a sheet for 0:09:37.210 --> 0:09:37.970 a wall again. 0:09:37.850 --> 0:09:39.730 Why only a sudd when Joey's not doing well, all 0:09:39.730 --> 0:09:41.290 of a sudden, he's my son, Joey. 0:09:41.530 --> 0:09:43.370 Well, he was your charge. You said, I'm going to 0:09:43.410 --> 0:09:45.370 get this guy out of his like, no, we were. 0:09:45.130 --> 0:09:47.410 Both Well well that's the thing. See, I'm giving you 0:09:47.450 --> 0:09:50.330 credit for elevating my life and lifting me out of 0:09:50.370 --> 0:09:52.210 where I was. I'm doing a lot better now. 0:09:53.370 --> 0:09:55.610 I just picture him on his rollerblades on a slight 0:09:55.690 --> 0:09:57.929 grade where he's rolling back down and not realizing it, 0:09:58.010 --> 0:09:59.330 he's going backwards down the hill. 0:10:00.130 --> 0:10:02.770 Okay, but downhills are always the funnest part of rollerblading. 0:10:03.290 --> 0:10:05.530 So you're you have now six roommates. 0:10:06.410 --> 0:10:09.090 Yep, we've all been friends for years since college. 0:10:09.810 --> 0:10:12.650 You're pitching in, I'd say so. 0:10:13.250 --> 0:10:17.010 But lately, since quarantine started, it seems like the other 0:10:17.090 --> 0:10:19.250 roommates in the house have kind of doubled down on 0:10:19.290 --> 0:10:21.370 trying to keep things clean, which, you know, I get 0:10:21.410 --> 0:10:23.770 we're spending more time at home, things get messy easier. 0:10:25.170 --> 0:10:29.490 But to me, like I, I can't, you know, clean 0:10:29.570 --> 0:10:32.250 every crumb every single time, Like that's just put going 0:10:32.290 --> 0:10:35.210 a little too far. And so this started really getting 0:10:35.210 --> 0:10:37.610 into one of my roommates. Every time I would leave 0:10:37.610 --> 0:10:39.850 a single crumb, a single knife in the in the sink, 0:10:39.890 --> 0:10:43.530 he would like confront me head on. And this really 0:10:43.570 --> 0:10:45.450 just blew up the other The other morning, like when 0:10:45.610 --> 0:10:48.170 I woke up and the first thing I hear is 0:10:48.170 --> 0:10:50.290 is just him like beckoning me into the kitchen to 0:10:50.330 --> 0:10:51.490 say is this your knife? 0:10:51.690 --> 0:10:53.290 Is this yours? 0:10:53.330 --> 0:10:55.929 And like he just wanted to just get into it 0:10:55.970 --> 0:10:57.450 as my first thing I hear in the morning, and 0:10:57.490 --> 0:11:00.530 I just really couldn't, Like I needed to avoid confrontations, 0:11:00.610 --> 0:11:03.010 so I just basically ran away and like said, I 0:11:03.050 --> 0:11:04.290 can't hear this right now. 0:11:04.810 --> 0:11:07.050 Now, Joey, when you went back to your room, like 0:11:07.090 --> 0:11:09.610 this would be a situation where one might slam their door, 0:11:09.650 --> 0:11:11.810 what do you what do you do now? 0:11:11.890 --> 0:11:12.130 I did? 0:11:12.170 --> 0:11:13.810 I mean I tried to do the same. I retreated 0:11:13.810 --> 0:11:17.290 to my room. But the difference is he was able 0:11:17.330 --> 0:11:19.290 to just walk like right on the other side of 0:11:19.290 --> 0:11:21.690 the curtain and like speak to me. So five minutes 0:11:21.730 --> 0:11:27.850 later under the curtain, I'll push it aside. 0:11:27.890 --> 0:11:30.370 Just painting an image in my mind, okay, because it's 0:11:30.450 --> 0:11:33.210 less dignified when you frog crawl out under your curtain 0:11:33.250 --> 0:11:34.010 to get yelled at. 0:11:34.850 --> 0:11:37.090 It's better than that. But no, he did. He did 0:11:37.130 --> 0:11:39.410 come around and try to try to talk to me 0:11:39.450 --> 0:11:41.690 through the curtain and just said I'm here to talk 0:11:41.730 --> 0:11:42.330 when you want to. 0:11:42.810 --> 0:11:45.090 So did you ever end up having that conversation with him? 0:11:45.930 --> 0:11:50.770 Nope? Nope. Instead he he ended up sending me a 0:11:50.810 --> 0:11:54.890 text like I think a few hours later. That was 0:11:55.330 --> 0:11:59.130 actually an apology. He wrote, my approach was not the 0:11:59.210 --> 0:12:01.610 right one, and I apologize. I haven't felt great this week. 0:12:03.050 --> 0:12:05.770 I've been overly sensitive. And then he goes, no need 0:12:05.850 --> 0:12:07.890 to respond, just wanted to send this to you so 0:12:07.930 --> 0:12:08.730 you knew where I was at. 0:12:09.650 --> 0:12:09.809 HM. 0:12:09.930 --> 0:12:11.450 I really care for you and don't want it to 0:12:11.530 --> 0:12:13.090 hurt you or cause the vision between us. 0:12:13.130 --> 0:12:13.330 Wow. 0:12:13.490 --> 0:12:14.170 I only wow. 0:12:14.370 --> 0:12:17.050 Okay, did you not read this text until now. 0:12:16.930 --> 0:12:19.170 I read it? I read it just one dime. I 0:12:19.170 --> 0:12:22.090 mean I was still definitely kind of heated when I 0:12:22.170 --> 0:12:22.570 got it. 0:12:23.170 --> 0:12:25.370 I think you just heard Joey digesting the second and 0:12:25.490 --> 0:12:27.770 last emotional phrase of that text. That was definitely the 0:12:28.170 --> 0:12:28.650 first time. 0:12:28.810 --> 0:12:29.050 Wait. 0:12:29.090 --> 0:12:31.090 I mean we don't usually talk like that, so it's 0:12:31.370 --> 0:12:32.650 that's pretty surprising though. 0:12:32.850 --> 0:12:34.970 Okay, and then what was your What was your next 0:12:35.130 --> 0:12:35.970 text back to him? 0:12:36.010 --> 0:12:38.170 So he said no need to respond, but I figured 0:12:38.170 --> 0:12:39.450 I would just let him know I got it, and 0:12:39.450 --> 0:12:40.850 so I just wrote thanks. 0:12:41.410 --> 0:12:43.170 Did you send it as an emoji or you actually 0:12:43.170 --> 0:12:43.570 wrote it? 0:12:44.130 --> 0:12:45.290 And that's it? Just thanks? 0:12:46.210 --> 0:12:49.690 I accepted as apology. I mean, how long ago did 0:12:49.690 --> 0:12:52.770 you get this text from your roommate? I think it 0:12:52.810 --> 0:12:53.610 was about a week ago. 0:12:53.650 --> 0:12:57.930 Now, were you to call him over and say, hey, 0:12:58.570 --> 0:13:01.650 I'm partly to blame for this whole knife knife situation, 0:13:01.810 --> 0:13:03.530 also he would know what you're talking about. 0:13:04.410 --> 0:13:07.929 Yeah, oh yeah. But wait, but first my question is, 0:13:07.970 --> 0:13:09.530 I mean, do I owe him in a apology. I 0:13:09.570 --> 0:13:12.770 think we need to address that first, Gregor. 0:13:12.970 --> 0:13:16.570 This roommate seems like a prince. He's like, I'm sorry 0:13:16.610 --> 0:13:18.490 I yelled at you for leaving your filthy knife and 0:13:18.530 --> 0:13:21.170 crumbs on the floor. You're important to me, and I 0:13:21.250 --> 0:13:23.050 cherish you and I cherish our time together. 0:13:23.090 --> 0:13:24.130 Did he use the word cherish? 0:13:24.530 --> 0:13:24.690 Uh? 0:13:25.090 --> 0:13:27.370 I don't think. I don't think that's part of his vocabulary. 0:13:27.490 --> 0:13:30.130 Point is Joey should pick up after himself. This is 0:13:30.170 --> 0:13:32.010 not some complicated equation. 0:13:31.850 --> 0:13:34.290 All right, So you think you're saying that Joey owes 0:13:34.370 --> 0:13:37.050 him a little bit of an apology, a reciprocy. 0:13:37.130 --> 0:13:39.730 If you live by yourself and you're a disgusting slob, 0:13:40.010 --> 0:13:42.890 you're reprehensible, but at least you're your only victim. If 0:13:42.890 --> 0:13:46.450 you live with six dudes, if everyone leaves a knife 0:13:46.490 --> 0:13:48.130 in the sink, you've got a forest full of knives 0:13:48.130 --> 0:13:51.210 in the sink. You're all on the house confinement. I 0:13:51.210 --> 0:13:54.410 think it's time to be super persnickety. So he could 0:13:54.410 --> 0:13:56.210 have been nicer about it. But I still think he's 0:13:56.370 --> 0:13:59.930 apologizing for giving you some harsh treatment. I think you 0:13:59.970 --> 0:14:01.050 need to step up your game. 0:14:02.370 --> 0:14:03.130 I think you're right. 0:14:03.810 --> 0:14:06.290 I'm totally fine with you, like sleeping with your dirty 0:14:06.290 --> 0:14:09.050 socks next to your bed, that's in your sheeted off 0:14:09.330 --> 0:14:13.410 quadrant of the living room. But you can't leave food arounds. 0:14:13.410 --> 0:14:14.450 That's just not good. 0:14:15.090 --> 0:14:17.490 So what is your roommate? What is his name? 0:14:18.290 --> 0:14:19.090 His name is Pathan? 0:14:19.730 --> 0:14:22.650 Is Paven within shouting distance right now? 0:14:23.930 --> 0:14:28.610 I am tucked away in like the closet doing the recording. 0:14:28.890 --> 0:14:30.930 I'm can you do it in a muffled yell from 0:14:30.970 --> 0:14:32.170 inside your closet. 0:14:32.490 --> 0:14:35.090 Now, maybe open up the closet door and okay, let 0:14:35.130 --> 0:14:36.810 me let me get out of the closet here. And 0:14:36.810 --> 0:14:40.530 it's gonna take me so work to weasel my way 0:14:40.570 --> 0:14:40.970 out of here. 0:14:41.850 --> 0:14:45.170 Now while Joey struggles to get out of his closet studio, 0:14:46.330 --> 0:14:48.650 we're going to have an advertisement. 0:14:49.450 --> 0:14:51.650 What a building of narrative suspense. 0:14:51.930 --> 0:14:53.650 You know, I've been listening to this whole thing on 0:14:53.730 --> 0:14:56.130 double speed, and now I'm gonna slow it down to 0:14:56.210 --> 0:14:56.890 single speed. 0:14:57.010 --> 0:15:14.050 Here come the Parade of Savings, and we're back. We're back. 0:15:14.570 --> 0:15:17.450 Let's just join Joey as he struggles to get out 0:15:17.450 --> 0:15:21.970 of the closet and on with his life. It's also a. 0:15:21.890 --> 0:15:23.770 Thousand degrees in there, so it feels good to get 0:15:23.770 --> 0:15:29.210 some fresh air.

And 0:19:37.689 --> 0:19:39.729 I went down there and I met them and I 0:19:39.770 --> 0:19:41.929 was like, I want to try Ibiga. And I did. 0:19:42.449 --> 0:19:44.809 And I went into like a fugue state for like 0:19:44.850 --> 0:19:47.050 forty eight hours, and I missed my flight. 0:19:46.810 --> 0:19:49.010 Back Holy Kat And this was pleasant. 0:19:49.850 --> 0:19:54.010 No, it's horrible, like a waking nightmare kind of thing, 0:19:54.530 --> 0:19:56.689 and it was weird, like, so I did like thirty 0:19:56.730 --> 0:20:01.010 spoonfuls of the They grind up this ibiga into a powder, 0:20:01.169 --> 0:20:03.490 about thirty spoonfuls of it and then I also did 0:20:03.490 --> 0:20:08.209 an additional how much of the sawdust through an enema 0:20:08.330 --> 0:20:08.930 at the same. 0:20:08.770 --> 0:20:18.730 Time, so the god, this does not sound appealing.

They uh, they ask you, like to describe what 0:20:52.129 --> 0:20:54.889 you what you see, and I was like, I saw 0:20:54.929 --> 0:20:59.609 some like flickering. I'm like the lantern, you know, So 0:20:59.649 --> 0:21:02.449 then that becomes that's my I began name like, I'm 0:21:02.490 --> 0:21:06.050 like whatever the African equivalent of flickering and the lantern is, 0:21:06.090 --> 0:21:09.049 which is like, who doesn't see flickering in the lantern? 0:21:10.010 --> 0:21:14.490 I was kind of quasi seeing this woman in Minnesota 0:21:14.530 --> 0:21:18.730 at the time, and I felt like she was not 0:21:18.850 --> 0:21:22.650 just seeing me, you know. I focused on those kind 0:21:22.730 --> 0:21:27.129 of paranoid feelings until I went into this like yeah, 0:21:27.330 --> 0:21:31.010 grade out fugue state for for eight hours and then 0:21:31.090 --> 0:21:35.330 to come to and realize that Moroccan air isn't going 0:21:35.409 --> 0:21:40.169 to refund my ticket and unless somebody can appear on 0:21:40.169 --> 0:21:43.570 my behalf at the Paris or Lee airport. 0:21:43.689 --> 0:21:45.850 Why would someone have to Why would that be the 0:21:45.929 --> 0:21:50.050 terms of getting reimbursement on your on your ticket. 0:21:49.570 --> 0:21:51.049 You need it.

And I think Mika has found the 0:21:58.369 --> 0:22:03.170 whole escapade to be irresponsible and has really never never 0:22:03.209 --> 0:22:03.769 forgiven me. 0:22:04.530 --> 0:22:09.770 And that that that was the end of your friendship. Yeah, 0:22:09.810 --> 0:22:14.050 how long was it since you last had actual contact? 0:22:14.330 --> 0:22:17.930 Oh? Man? So this was in this is like right 0:22:17.970 --> 0:22:20.330 before me and I started eating. It's like eight years ago. 0:22:21.090 --> 0:22:23.050 So like then, I think it was like a couple 0:22:23.050 --> 0:22:24.810 of years later or something. I was like, hey, you know, 0:22:25.609 --> 0:22:28.090 I might be coming through town, and she's like, I 0:22:28.090 --> 0:22:28.810 don't want to see you. 0:22:29.209 --> 0:22:29.449 Hmm. 0:22:30.449 --> 0:22:33.529 Oh. And was that the last contact you had with her? 0:22:34.010 --> 0:22:34.490 That was it? 0:22:34.570 --> 0:22:34.850 Yeah? 0:22:35.730 --> 0:22:40.170 And I love Meka like Mika's. She has a great laugh. Man. 0:22:40.330 --> 0:22:45.890 I used to love making Mika laugh. I guess it's 0:22:45.889 --> 0:22:49.249 one of the few, kind of the few people in 0:22:49.290 --> 0:22:52.330 my life that I've really hurt them. 0:22:53.850 --> 0:22:58.090 Do you want to reach out just to say, you know, like, 0:22:58.129 --> 0:23:00.010 see how she's doing in the midst of all this. 0:23:01.649 --> 0:23:04.170 Yeah, man, that might be nice. That would be nice. 0:23:04.169 --> 0:23:07.889 Then maybe I could actually apologize to her, maybe. 0:23:07.689 --> 0:23:10.010 Formally, because you never have. 0:23:10.209 --> 0:23:12.169 Really, I don't think so. 0:23:12.649 --> 0:23:15.250 Is she still in Paris? Yeah, because I think it's 0:23:15.530 --> 0:23:19.050 right now. It's midnight in Paris. This calling her midnight 0:23:19.209 --> 0:23:24.529 might make things worse. Yeah, so on behalf of Steve. 0:23:24.570 --> 0:23:31.330 I ended up just sending Meka an email and she said, yeah, sure, 0:23:31.369 --> 0:23:34.729 we can get on the telephone. So so that's what 0:23:34.770 --> 0:23:39.810 we did. Oh you hear that European classy ring tone 0:23:40.770 --> 0:23:47.770 that it's better than you, that ringtone better than me?

All 0:27:37.689 --> 0:27:40.929 you have to do is try to listen on Spotify. 0:27:41.649 --> 0:27:45.290 You can listen anywhere you want, and we're appreciative of that, 0:27:45.449 --> 0:27:50.050 but if you want to do a solid listen on Spotify, 0:27:50.609 --> 0:27:54.570 because it won't hurt, it'll help. And what we've done 0:27:54.570 --> 0:27:57.690 to further entice is we've assembled a playlist of some 0:27:57.730 --> 0:28:02.450 of our favorite episodes as well as some of listener favorites. 0:28:02.770 --> 0:28:05.449 This is called the Heavyweight Starter Kit. If you search 0:28:05.490 --> 0:28:07.449 for that on Spotify you'll find it and it's a 0:28:07.530 --> 0:28:07.850 lot of. 0:28:07.770 --> 0:28:10.729 Fun and there link in the show notes. 0:28:11.050 --> 0:28:15.050 Yeah, so if you're into the whole clicking thing, And 0:28:15.169 --> 0:28:18.730 another way that you guys can continue to support us 0:28:18.889 --> 0:28:23.209 is by sending in your emails with your stories and uh, 0:28:23.250 --> 0:28:26.090 just how you're doing at this at this time, we 0:28:26.490 --> 0:28:29.969 really enjoy reading them, and among the emails that we 0:28:30.010 --> 0:28:34.330 received this week was a song by a singer songwriter 0:28:34.810 --> 0:28:37.770 named Connie she Oh. 0:28:37.850 --> 0:28:40.570 I am Connie she I am in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, 0:28:40.690 --> 0:28:44.770 and I am currently in my bedroom, on my floor, 0:28:45.050 --> 0:28:52.170 looking out my window at other buildings. So I am 0:28:52.209 --> 0:28:55.690 having trouble processing my feelings about all this, and so 0:28:55.810 --> 0:28:58.170 I wrote a song about it, and I thought I 0:28:58.170 --> 0:29:05.090 would share it with you. Every passing day, I feel 0:29:05.090 --> 0:29:11.730 a little worse about zoos. I was good for ay oh, 0:29:11.770 --> 0:29:15.130 fill my schedule with classes, got dressed and my makeup 0:29:15.290 --> 0:29:18.489 even chrow my eyelashes. But a slump is so close 0:29:18.650 --> 0:29:21.810 it might be here already. I watched ten episodes of 0:29:21.850 --> 0:29:26.370 Community last night, and my screenwriting class is a great 0:29:26.410 --> 0:29:28.850 group of people. But I don't think I'm a writer. 0:29:29.530 --> 0:29:32.410 I'm more of a sleeper in my dreams. I can float. 0:29:32.610 --> 0:29:35.969 I don't feel any pressure. I am light as the weather. 0:29:38.209 --> 0:29:41.930 Is it morning? Alrighty? Where is the sun? I lost 0:29:41.970 --> 0:29:45.890 my marble somewhere in the bathroom, and I can feel 0:29:45.890 --> 0:29:49.090 all my atoms are shaking with what can't be done. 0:29:52.370 --> 0:29:56.490 It's hard to feel lucky without feeling guilty. A soundtrack 0:29:56.530 --> 0:30:00.610 of sirens, hants and connects me. The future feels heavy 0:30:01.850 --> 0:30:07.529 and I miss my mom. I've got no room to pace, 0:30:07.730 --> 0:30:10.330 so my mind is what's right, but it's more of 0:30:10.410 --> 0:30:13.610 a stumble with no distance I'm covering. I know now 0:30:13.730 --> 0:30:20.090 is the time to create that. I'm hungry again. Is 0:30:20.090 --> 0:30:21.530 it morning? Already? 0:30:21.930 --> 0:30:22.289 Aware? 0:30:22.450 --> 0:30:26.130 Is the sign? I lost my marble somewhere in the bathroom, 0:30:26.650 --> 0:30:29.650 and I can feel all my atoms or shaking with 0:30:29.690 --> 0:30:35.570 what can't be done. I know that something has ended 0:30:35.810 --> 0:30:38.690 and something's begun, and I just wish someone could give 0:30:38.850 --> 0:30:42.450 me more answers, or tell me just close your eyes 0:30:42.610 --> 0:30:44.529 and then open when I 0:30:44.610 --> 0:30:50.730 Get to one
