  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 0:01Speaker 01

  King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Swirl Bite?

• 0:03Speaker 00

  Uh, Taylor Hansen? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.

• 0:09Speaker 02

  Hey, let's get back to work, please.

• 0:10Speaker 00

  But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites.

• 0:15Speaker 02

  Taylor Hansen? Nice.

• 0:17Speaker 01

  Try one.

• 0:18Speaker 02

  Mmm.

• 0:22Speaker 02

  King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites. There's nothing like it.

• 0:42Speaker 03

  But um. Get 'em, bands. Get 'em, bands. Oh, we don't do that here. Oh, now I'm pissed. Happy Friday, pussies, and welcome back to Therapists. And surprise, today we have on Tyreek Withers, who is in the new film Reminders of Him. If you are thinking, "This looks familiar," it's because it is. Cass has not moved.

• 1:05Speaker 04

  I'm not moving all day.

• 1:07Speaker 03

  Um, and is there anything you want to tell the pussies this fine Friday?

• 1:12Speaker 04

  I feel like shit.

• 1:15Speaker 04

  And that's literally everything I have to say right now.

• 1:18Speaker 03

  Do you think we've developed our attachment styles any differently?

• 1:22Speaker 04

  Um, yeah, it's not gonna happen for a while, but we're healing and we're all in therapy.

• 1:27Speaker 03

  I am with new therapist.

• 1:30Speaker 04

  Why did you change your therapist?

• 1:32Speaker 03

  Because I was just talking shit with my old one. Love you. But I was just talking shit with my old one. All the time. That's all I would do.

• 1:39Speaker 04

  And that bothered you?

• 1:40Speaker 03

  And all I was doing was sitting there and talking shit. And then I would tell her something that would happen with my OCD and she would be like, "OMG."

• 1:46Speaker 04

  I'm ghosting my therapist.

• 1:47Speaker 03

  Whereas like my new therapist is like, "Oh, that's this and you need to combat it by doing this." Because I'm in a new form of therapy special for OCD.

• 1:55Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's good. I'm proud of you.

• 1:57Speaker 03

  Thanks.

• 1:57Speaker 04

  I'm ghosting my therapist again.

• 1:59Speaker 03

  You just said you're in therapy and you're healing.

• 2:01Speaker 04

  That was three months ago. I'm ghosting my therapist at the moment.

• 2:04Speaker 03

  You just said, what? You're, Cassidy, right now... On this intro, you just said you were in currently in present tense in therapy and healing. And now you're saying that was three months ago.

• 2:14Speaker 04

  Then I lied because I haven't seen my therapist in three months and I was healing. And now I'm taking a fucking break because I don't want to see her. I don't want to talk about things right now. So I ghost her and then I see her again in like a month. Oh, it's fine.

• 2:27Speaker 03

  Do you believe therapy is for summer?

• 2:29Speaker 04

  No, I think I'm happier in summer.

• 2:32Speaker 03

  So you think we shouldn't do therapy in summer?

• 2:36Speaker 04

  I actually believe we shouldn't, no. I don't need therapy in summer. And why'd you ask me that? Because you're happier in summer?

• 2:44Speaker 03

  Are you?

• 2:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, the sun's out. I feel good. I'm tan, I'm skinny, like.

• 2:48Speaker 03

  Well, today we have on Tyreek Withers, who's lovely, hilarious and just the best. He's also, once again, in the new film Reminders of Him, which is also amazing. Okay. I love you pussies. Enjoy the episode.

• 3:03Speaker 03

  Hi pussies, welcome back to Therapuss. Tonight, we have on the star of Reminders of Him, Tyreek Withers.

  That's, okay, there we go, there we go.

  Hi!

• 3:15Speaker 05

  Oh, my God.

• 3:16Speaker 03

  Oh, my God.

• 3:17Speaker 05

  I'm in the presence of royalty.

• 3:18Speaker 03

  Don't even stop.

• 3:19Speaker 05

  Oh, my God, I'm so nervous. I, you know, ask my team, I don't, I don't really respond to their emails, but once they said, Jake Shane, Therapuss, when they send that pigeon, I immediately, so I've been waiting for this.

• 3:31Speaker 03

  No, really?

• 3:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, I swear to God.

• 3:33Speaker 03

  I'm in blushing.

• 3:34Speaker 05

  We, ah, oh, my God. Ah, we met, ah, at.

• 3:39Speaker 03

  At Lakma.

• 3:39Speaker 05

  Lakma.

• 3:40Speaker 03

  You have a fun night that night?

• 3:42Speaker 05

  Ah, I had a blast. What did we do?

• 3:44Speaker 03

  We went to that house after.

• 3:45Speaker 05

  We went to the house, there's people dancing on the table, you know, ah, I think that's where I met Doji Cat for the first time.

• 3:52Speaker 03

  She was there?

• 3:52Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 3:53Speaker 03

  How was she?

• 3:53Speaker 05

  She was lovely. She was, she was there for a very long time. I got introduced to her by Paris Hilton, which is, it sounds like a crazy night.

• 4:01Speaker 03

  I know.

• 4:02Speaker 05

  Which it was.

• 4:02Speaker 03

  But, but it really isn't. Like, if you think about what you're like actually doing, you're all just like sitting.

• 4:08Speaker 05

  Yeah, you're just sitting, you're like smiling, posture, ah, eating like mystery meat.

• 4:14Speaker 03

  Mystery meat.

• 4:14Speaker 05

  Yeah, mystery meat. Ah, and then, you know, carpet photo, um.

• 4:18Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, you know, I got the best photo of my entire life that night.

• 4:21Speaker 05

  Really?

• 4:21Speaker 03

  Well, you wouldn't know, but I did.

• 4:22Speaker 05

  Really?

• 4:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:23Speaker 05

  What were you wearing? Who were you wearing?

• 4:24Speaker 03

  I was wearing Tom Ford.

• 4:25Speaker 05

  Ah, I've never worn Tom Ford.

• 4:27Speaker 03

  Well, he didn't give it to me, I bought it.

• 4:28Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 4:29Speaker 03

  But, um.

• 4:30Speaker 05

  His loss.

• 4:31Speaker 03

  It was, um. I, it was like the only tux I own.

• 4:35Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 4:36Speaker 03

  I went out the night, because the night before was Halloween.

• 4:38Speaker 05

  Oh, it was. What'd you dress up as?

• 4:41Speaker 03

  I was, oh, I was a role model in the Sally music video.

• 4:46Speaker 05

  Oh, yes, yes. Iconic.

• 4:48Speaker 03

  Cheeky.

• 4:48Speaker 05

  I was just, you know, six foot five Teletubby.

• 4:53Speaker 03

  You dressed up as, I thought you were about to say you dressed up as six foot five. I was like, what? You dressed up as a Teletubby? What'd you do on Halloween?

• 5:02Speaker 05

  What did I do on Halloween?

• 5:05Speaker 05

  I don't know. I just made a fool of myself, you know?

• 5:08Speaker 03

  Oh, I was.

• 5:08Speaker 05

  I was, you know, dipsy, you know, the green Teletubby with the...

• 5:14Speaker 03

  How old are you?

• 5:17Speaker 05

  Okay, we're getting into it.

• 5:18Speaker 03

  How old, how old are you?

• 5:19Speaker 05

  Uh, take a guess.

• 5:21Speaker 03

  Twenty, twenty-eight?

• 5:22Speaker 05

  Hmm, twenty-seven.

• 5:24Speaker 03

  I am so sorry.

• 5:25Speaker 05

  Yeah, I know. You aging me up.

• 5:27Speaker 03

  Just, you know, the way you carry yourself.

• 5:29Speaker 05

  Very gentlemanly.

• 5:30Speaker 03

  Very, very gentlemanly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you got your start on Atlanta?

• 5:35Speaker 05

  I got my start on YouTube. Uh, well.

• 5:38Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, those videos.

• 5:39Speaker 05

  That was my first professional job, leading something. But my first professional professional was an episode of Legacies on CW. Uh, I played a Wolf Tour student.

• 5:51Speaker 03

  I was about to say, is Legacies the vampire spinoff?

• 5:54Speaker 05

  Uh, yeah, it's like the third one. I think it goes Ordinaries, no, the.

• 5:58Speaker 03

  Originals.

• 5:59Speaker 05

  Originals, sorry. The song Ordinaries is always.

• 6:02Speaker 03

  So, so out.

• 6:04Speaker 05

  Angels up in the cloud.

• 6:08Speaker 05

  It's the theme of our movie.

• 6:11Speaker 03

  The Ordinary! Okay, okay, okay. Wait, okay, continue. So, you started?

• 6:17Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 6:19Speaker 03

  YouTube, but then Legacy?

• 6:20Speaker 05

  Not, not, yeah, YouTube Vine was like the first thing.

• 6:23Speaker 03

  You were a Viner?

• 6:24Speaker 05

  I tried to be a Viner, you know?

• 6:26Speaker 03

  You'd be a good Viner.

• 6:27Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, trust. I was trying to make it to LA. I didn't have a phone to edit on, so that was a hard thing to do. Like, you know, back in the day, you have to like download third-party apps to like, download this video that, you know, like edits videos, down, it's confusing. So, uh, I tried to make some Vines and then I moved to Musically. Did you make any Musicallys?

• 6:50Speaker 03

  You did not make Musicallys.

• 6:52Speaker 05

  Yes, I did.

• 6:53Speaker 03

  Did you do like the?

• 6:58Speaker 03

  Did you actually?

• 6:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 7:00Speaker 03

  Do you have them still?

• 7:01Speaker 05

  Yeah, you're not gonna see them though.

• 7:04Speaker 03

  No, you have to show, just show me.

• 7:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, I'll show you.

• 7:07Speaker 03

  What songs did you do Musicallys to?

• 7:09Speaker 05

  Oh, was it Sartorius, Jacob Sartorius songs? That was like the one. I tried to get my hair like that, it didn't work out, but.

• 7:17Speaker 03

  So where are you from?

• 7:18Speaker 05

  Where am I from? I am from Jacksonville, Florida.

• 7:21Speaker 03

  Oh, I.

• 7:22Speaker 05

  No, you don't.

• 7:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm sorry.

• 7:24Speaker 05

  You're trying to be nice.

• 7:25Speaker 03

  I was gonna say, I love Florida.

• 7:27Speaker 05

  I know. It's, there's parts of it you have to love. It might be underwater in the next few years, but it's fine. It's, everything's fine, nothing matters, yeah.

• 7:35Speaker 03

  You think global warming?

• 7:36Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 7:37Speaker 03

  You really think so? I mean, no, I believe in global warming, sorry, like, I'm not like, in, in, in, in, in idiot.

• 7:48Speaker 03

  But like, I'm just saying, like, you think it's gonna happen like that quick?

• 7:52Speaker 05

  Well, who's to say, you know?

• 7:55Speaker 03

  You, just now.

• 7:58Speaker 05

  Depending on what part of Florida, you know, um, we gotta keep Disney alive.

• 8:03Speaker 03

  Have you been to Disney World?

• 8:04Speaker 05

  Yes, I've been to Disney World and Land. You've never been?

• 8:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 8:07Speaker 05

  Criminal.

• 8:08Speaker 03

  I know.

• 8:08Speaker 05

  Criminal. Do you judge people who go, like adults who?

• 8:11Speaker 03

  No, because I think it's like beautiful to still hold on to like little things like that. I do think like it gets to a point.

• 8:20Speaker 05

  Yeah, it gets to a certain point, where it's like.

• 8:23Speaker 03

  That isn't, that princess is not real.

• 8:25Speaker 05

  Yeah, you're in psychosis.

• 8:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, keep some, that she is not real. Like, and also, I guess my confusion with Disney adults, and I don't mean to sound so rude, is that what is so special, it's like, okay, like, I'm a, like, I, like, I, like, I'm a stan for like, pop girls, right? And some, some people can tell you that that's comparable, but I actually don't agree, like. What is, like, Mickey Mouse isn't releasing new music. Like, you know what I mean? Like, he's not like, you're watching the same. Exactly. You're watching the same Beauty and the Beast over and over and over and over and over and over again. What is that doing for you?

• 9:06Speaker 05

  You know, I did Disney right, the, finally, you know, I went with somebody rich. Uh, Brittany Broski.

• 9:15Speaker 03

  Oh, she took you to Disney?

• 9:16Speaker 05

  She took me to Disney. She had the chaperone. We like skipped the line.

• 9:19Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah. Land or world?

• 9:20Speaker 05

  Uh, which one's LA?

• 9:22Speaker 03

  Land.

• 9:23Speaker 05

  Land. It's not as good as world.

• 9:25Speaker 03

  I mean, world's a world.

• 9:26Speaker 05

  Yeah, world's a, like, a whole situation. Uh huh. That one I've only done like once and I was like a teenager. But I've done Disneyland a couple of times, but we, me and Brittany Broski went and it's kinda, you, uh, once you go with the chaperone, well, you're, you're A-lister, so you have to like go bodyguard, like.

• 9:45Speaker 03

  What, did you just say to me?

• 9:46Speaker 05

  Yes, you're, you're Hollywood A-list. You're Hollywood royalty.

• 9:50Speaker 03

  You walk that back right now.

• 9:51Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm walking it back. Let's take it back. You can't go to Disneyland or world without.

• 9:58Speaker 03

  Give me a real, like, okay, like, I'm not A-list. Brad Pitt is A-list. What list would you put me on? Realistically, and, and minuses and pluses can be included, right?

• 10:08Speaker 05

  I mean, didn't you, you, don't you have like the, you know, like the.

• 10:11Speaker 03

  You can say I'm B minus, you can say I'm B, B plus, C minus. So just give it a real and true honest answer. Like, look, hopefully I have many years left in this career, so like, I can always work up. So give me your honest answer where I'm at right now.

• 10:23Speaker 05

  I think, uh, with all the cosons, you know, like people vouching for you. I think you're like in an A minus.

• 10:31Speaker 03

  No, stop, stop. Give me the real.

• 10:36Speaker 05

• 10:38Speaker 03

  Okay, I'll, I'll take a B.

• 10:40Speaker 05

  B plus, uh, A mi, I'm gonna say A minus, but you, you feel like it's.

• 10:44Speaker 03

  Do you know, you really just made my day.

  Is it really?

• 11:09Speaker 05

  Drink responsibly, kids. Um, not kids, sorry, adults. Sorry, my publicist is gonna be like, uh, yeah, everything's fine, nothing matters. Nothing matters.

• 11:18Speaker 03

  You don't think nothing matters?

• 11:19Speaker 05

  Nothing matters, cuz at the end of the day, it's the end of the day and the sun's gonna

• 11:25Speaker 05

  shine.

• 11:25Speaker 03

  At the end of the day is the end of the day.

• 11:27Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 11:30Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's my first tattoo.

• 11:32Speaker 03

  Your tattoo says, "At the end of the day."

• 11:34Speaker 05

  It's the end of the day. Yep, it's.

• 11:37Speaker 03

  Where? It's on, it's right there?

• 11:39Speaker 05

  No, I'm kidding, kidding. No tattoos, no tattoos.

• 11:41Speaker 03

  Oh, I thought you were dead serious and I was trying to be polite.

• 11:44Speaker 05

  Nope.

• 11:45Speaker 03

  I was like, really freaking out. Okay, so you are in Reminders of Him.

• 11:49Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is not a him sequel. It's not a him sequel.

• 11:52Speaker 03

  No, it's not.

• 11:53Speaker 05

  We have to, we have to clarify that.

• 11:54Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 11:55Speaker 05

  Um, but yeah, I am.

• 11:56Speaker 03

  You had to clarify that?

• 11:57Speaker 05

  Yeah, a lot of people think, oh, it's the, the sequel, cuz.

• 12:00Speaker 03

  Okay, but you are in Reminders of Him.

• 12:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, Reminders of Him.

• 12:03Speaker 03

  The soundtrack is incredible.

• 12:04Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 12:05Speaker 03

  I came here to ask you, or I guess I'm here, I, but the most pressing subject on my mind, that Kacey Musgrave song that plays in it, is that an original for the movie?

• 12:14Speaker 05

  Um, what, what's the name of the song?

• 12:16Speaker 03

  Don't know.

• 12:18Speaker 05

  So the song name, "Don't Know," uh, don't know. I honestly don't know.

• 12:22Speaker 03

  When I was watching it last night with my best friend Peyton in bed, we were like, we had to pause it and be like, is this an original for this movie?

• 12:29Speaker 05

  Really? See, I watched it in a, a, a screening theater, so I couldn't pause it and appreciate all the music, so I had to run it back. But it might be an original. Um.

• 12:40Speaker 03

  Can I ask you a question about the movie?

• 12:42Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 12:43Speaker 03

  So, they won't let her see her kid.

• 12:45Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 12:46Speaker 03

  Was she drinking that night? Like, did I miss it? I kept looking at Peyton, being like, was she drunk in the car? Like, why are they so angry at her?

• 12:53Speaker 05

  I think it was a mix of, uh, drinking and, uh, like, edibles, like.

• 12:57Speaker 03

  So, so they were under the influence?

• 12:58Speaker 05

  Under their influence, and it was a misconception of.

• 13:02Speaker 03

  But, but she didn't crash the car, the car bumped.

• 13:05Speaker 05

  Yeah, bumped, but she fled the scene.

• 13:08Speaker 03

  To go get help?

• 13:09Speaker 05

  But then, yeah, she, she. Woke up and it looked like she fled the scene. She like passed out.

• 13:14Speaker 03

  So are you on her side?

• 13:15Speaker 05

  I'm on her side.

• 13:16Speaker 03

  Like if you were those parents, would you be like, get fucked or like?

• 13:19Speaker 05

  No, if I was the parents, get fucked. Put her under the jail.

• 13:21Speaker 03

  Yeah, right, right.

• 13:22Speaker 05

  That's my baby you killed, you know, so. Uh, but I think that's the cool thing about the story is just all different perspectives and then there's three sides to every story. Their side, my side.

• 13:31Speaker 03

  Three sides?

• 13:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, their side, my side and the truth, so.

• 13:36Speaker 03

  What do you mean by, oh my god, I'm, wait, I'm sick.

• 13:38Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 13:39Speaker 03

  I'm sick over that a little.

• 13:40Speaker 05

  Think about it, because I think we're all emotional human beings, so we have like a perspective on stories. And so we attach emotion to how like something happens to us. And so we'll tell a story like.

• 13:52Speaker 03

  Uh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm, I was very confused for five seconds. You attach emotion to something that happens to you.

• 14:00Speaker 05

  Just logic, like, you know.

• 14:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, okay, okay, okay, right, right, and then there's the truth.

• 14:03Speaker 05

  Yeah, the truth, you know, it's like, hey, I slapped this person because they made me feel this way. And then it's like, their side is like, he just slapped me out of nowhere, but you know, you provoked me.

• 14:15Speaker 03

  The truth, which would be what? You slapped him.

• 14:18Speaker 05

  Whatever God says, or whatever.

• 14:20Speaker 03

  Are you a religious man?

• 14:21Speaker 05

  I'm not a religious man.

• 14:22Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 14:23Speaker 05

  Uh, I believe there's.

• 14:24Speaker 03

  Higher power?

• 14:25Speaker 05

  Higher spiritual, I think religion, man, uh, there's trauma when religion, because I had like a step parent, like fear mongering me with religion.

• 14:35Speaker 03

  Oh, I'm so sorry.

• 14:36Speaker 05

  So I'm on that like journey of figuring it out.

• 14:38Speaker 03

  How did you take yourself out of that?

• 14:41Speaker 05

  I think you just, you get older and you know, like you go to college and then you surround yourself with, you know, people and then you start having fun and realize, again, nothing matters. And yeah, you just age out of it and distance yourself and now we're here.

• 14:56Speaker 03

  Do you ever find yourself like going back to that when you get anxiety or anxious?

• 15:01Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, like going back to the fear mongering.

• 15:04Speaker 03

  That was instilled in you?

• 15:05Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I think, um, you know, it, it made me like OCD, like hyper fixate on, you know, am I a bad person?

• 15:13Speaker 03

  I have the same exact OCD. I'm not kidding.

• 15:16Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 15:17Speaker 03

  Don't you feel like a bad person all the time?

• 15:19Speaker 05

  All the time, and it's like chronic. You know, it's like, I know I'm not a bad person, but I'm always hyper aware of energies and like, did I?

• 15:26Speaker 03

  But that's why I, I feel like, do you ever find it then hard to be public facing? Because then if somebody comes at you and says you're a bad person, you're just about like, you're like, wait, I know.

• 15:37Speaker 05

  Yeah. And then you're like, you have so many brief interactions and you just want to make sure. Cause like now that I have art out in the world, people have an idea of me. And when they see me for like 15 seconds, you know, I have this anxiety of like wanting to like make it worth their while. And it just becomes this, you know, exhausting experience because I'm just always on. Like, and it's like, not that I'm performing, but I'm just, I just want this person, I see this person, I want to make sure they're having a

• 16:06Speaker 03

  They're having a good experience with you as well.

• 16:08Speaker 05

  Exactly. So.

• 16:09Speaker 03

  Oh, I did not know you had OCD. Do you take anything to manage that?

• 16:12Speaker 05

  No, I just raw dog.

• 16:14Speaker 03

  Really?

• 16:14Speaker 05

  Yeah, just raw dog it.

• 16:15Speaker 03

  Okay. Well, not to like put you onto something, but I've been taking Luvox recently and it's been amazing.

• 16:21Speaker 05

  It helps. Like you just don't care.

• 16:22Speaker 03

  I think so.

• 16:23Speaker 05

  Do beta blockers help with that?

• 16:24Speaker 03

  Beta blockers, um, help with the physical symptoms of anxiety.

• 16:29Speaker 05

  I'm chronically anxious, you know?

• 16:31Speaker 03

  Are you anxious right now?

• 16:32Speaker 05

  Absolutely. Yeah.

• 16:34Speaker 03

  What can I do to help you be less anxious?

• 16:36Speaker 05

  Uh, anybody, tequila?

• 16:38Speaker 03

  I mean, we do have that.

• 16:44Speaker 05

  It's 11:30.

• 16:45Speaker 03

  Okay, but.

• 16:45Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah. No, we're fine. We're fine. I think this conversation's great, you know?

• 16:49Speaker 03

  You know, I'm glad you said that. Once again, we'll cut this, but you can have you a final edit.

• 16:54Speaker 05

  No, no, I love the episode. I love you. I love this mu mu. Look, show the audience the mu mu. I see it. I see it serve.

• 17:01Speaker 03

  It's the lore.

• 17:04Speaker 05

  Show the watch, show the watch.

• 17:06Speaker 03

  Okay. If you insist, you after. Okay.

• 17:11Speaker 05

  Oh, man.

• 17:13Speaker 03

  You show your watch.

• 17:14Speaker 05

  Uh huh. This is a present.

• 17:15Speaker 03

  The two-tone is just gorgeous.

• 17:17Speaker 05

  Two-tone, uh, present from, uh, the late and great Colleen Hoover. So.

• 17:22Speaker 03

  Coho.

• 17:23Speaker 05

  Coho.

• 17:27Speaker 03

  So, when you went into filming for this movie, it's unlike anything you've done because it's a book prior.

• 17:38Speaker 05

  You've seen my work?

• 17:39Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 17:40Speaker 05

  Really?

• 17:41Speaker 03

  What do you mean?

• 17:42Speaker 05

  You mean, wow.

• 17:43Speaker 03

  Of course. I've seen Atlanta, I've seen him.

• 17:47Speaker 05

  Oh, wow.

• 17:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 17:48Speaker 05

  Yes, yes.

• 17:49Speaker 03

  And you know what else I saw?

• 17:51Speaker 05

  I know what you did last summer.

• 17:51Speaker 03

  I know what you did last summer and you worked on that with my best friend in the entire world, Madeline Klein.

• 17:55Speaker 05

  Madeline Klein, love Maddie Klein.

• 17:57Speaker 03

  Greatest of all time.

• 17:59Speaker 05

  Bro, if it wasn't for Maddie Klein, that shoot would have been, it would have been

• 18:03Speaker 03

  Really?

• 18:03Speaker 05

  Hell to get through. Just because you're like, distance from home, you're in Australia, Sydney, you're in the southern hemisphere, anything bad happened, I'm blaming it on the southern hemisphere.

• 18:11Speaker 03

  I feel like she is so good to like have on set. I feel like she makes for such a warm set. I've never been on set with her, but I know her as a friend.

• 18:19Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 18:19Speaker 03

  And like she is one of the most inviting, kind people and hardworking.

• 18:24Speaker 05

  Hardworking and, you know, down to clown, you know?

• 18:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, oh, down to clown.

• 18:28Speaker 05

  Down to clown and I think you kind of need that. I'm not the type of actor that like needs to like, oh, leave me alone, I need to stay focused. I just,

• 18:35Speaker 03

  Right.

• 18:35Speaker 05

  I do my job, I show up, but I like the in-betweens, I like to enjoy myself.

• 18:39Speaker 03

  Right.

• 18:40Speaker 05

  We played a lot of pool. There's this one video, CCTV footage, it was me and Maddie hanging out at a bar. And then we went outside on the patio, but we were playing pool and she left her purse like on this chair. And then there's this guy that walks over to her purse and tries to steal her purse. And I come running out of the back patio, chasing him through the bar downstairs, outside. And I chased him for like a mile and he was like on a rugby team and I have CCTV footage.

• 19:12Speaker 03

  He was committed to the bit of stealing her purse.

• 19:14Speaker 05

  Absolutely. She had to like cancel everything.

• 19:17Speaker 03

  Did he steal the purse?

• 19:18Speaker 05

  No, it looked like he was taking photos of like the purse, yeah.

• 19:22Speaker 03

  Oh, that's scary. Do you know what I find confusing? Pickpocketing in this day and age, people don't necessarily carry around cash with them anymore. You know what I mean? So like you're stealing my credit card, go have fun for five seconds, I'm gonna cancel it and report it as fraud.

• 19:37Speaker 05

  Yeah, especially Amex, Amex is good at like.

• 19:39Speaker 03

  Oh, Amex is.

• 19:41Speaker 05

  Especially if you pay your bills on time, like they, they're like, oh, we know this is, this is fraud.

• 19:45Speaker 03

  Right.

• 19:46Speaker 05

  Yeah, do you know those videos like, attention, it's pickpocket.

• 19:49Speaker 03

  Oh, I do, I do. Pickpocket, pickpocket, pickpocket, was that in Italy?

• 19:54Speaker 05

  Uh, Italy, Paris, uh, wherever, wherever, I think it's funny. I mean, sometimes they yell it and they're not even pickpocketing.

• 20:01Speaker 03

  Right.

• 20:01Speaker 05

  You can't pickpocket me, you're gonna get like, uh, empty, like, like a, a Snickers wrapper and like.

• 20:06Speaker 03

  I hate Snickers.

• 20:07Speaker 05

  Yeah, and, uh, what?

• 20:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, I do.

• 20:10Speaker 05

  Really?

• 20:11Speaker 03

  It's something.

• 20:11Speaker 05

  It's like the perfect ratio.

• 20:13Speaker 03

  You know what it is? It's the fucking caramel, I hate caramel.

• 20:16Speaker 05

  Oh, is it caramel or caramel?

• 20:18Speaker 03

  Caramel.

• 20:19Speaker 05

  Caramel.

• 20:19Speaker 03

  Caramel?

• 20:20Speaker 05

  Caramel.

• 20:21Speaker 03

  Audience?

• 20:23Speaker 05

  I love my, I love my publicist so much, she's like the most comfortable under. Put the comforter on her.

• 20:31Speaker 03

  Go to bed, girl, go to bed.

• 20:33Speaker 05

  She's like ad-libbing the episode, it's 11:30.

• 20:38Speaker 05

  I wanna be you when I grow up.

• 20:41Speaker 03

  So, but my question, my initial question was. The book was hu, it's huge, like Colleen Hoover book.

• 20:49Speaker 05

  Seven million copies sold.

• 20:51Speaker 03

  Right, so, but these books have fandoms pre-attached to them, right?

• 20:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 20:55Speaker 03

  So they have, these fans have ideas of what they think the movie is going to look like and what they want the movie to look like. And you've never done anything like that before.

• 21:04Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 21:04Speaker 03

  I know what you did last summer was a sequel, sure it has fans, but that was a sequel.

• 21:08Speaker 05

  Absolutely.

• 21:09Speaker 03

  This, you're stepping into a world where there's a fandom, was there any anxiety surrounding that? Or did you not really think about it?

• 21:16Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, there's always this immense amount of anxiety because like, you know, books, it's all imaginative. It's, you know, people from, where were we, like Kansas? Who like, have, they have their idea of who Ledger is, the character I play. And, yeah, and you just wanna like, like breathe life into this character in the proper way. You know, in the book, there's like, Kenna loves the way he points, you know, you're like, I just wanna make sure I'm pointing properly. But then having Colleen Hoover be on set every day.

• 21:46Speaker 03

  She's on set?

• 21:47Speaker 05

  This is the only movie she's done that she's on set every day.

• 21:53Speaker 05

  I've seen some of your beginning videos when you're like

• 21:57Speaker 03

  Baby?

• 21:58Speaker 05

  A baby and you're like, starting over, you're like trying to intro the video and you're like

• 22:05Speaker 03

  I know.

• 22:05Speaker 05

  And you just had your Broadway debut.

• 22:07Speaker 03

  Broadway debut.

• 22:08Speaker 05

  Yeah, how has that been for you?

• 22:10Speaker 03

  It's been amazing.

• 22:11Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 22:11Speaker 03

  It's the final week and it's been, so it's, it's, it's, so I went on tour last year. I did a tour for this show.

• 22:19Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 22:20Speaker 03

  Which I actually found far more difficult than Broadway. Probably because I was on stage alone for two hours.

• 22:25Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 22:26Speaker 03

  But for Broadway, it's very like rinse and repeat. Like you do the same thing every night. Obviously there's little ad libs here and there. Cause I'm working with like such great comedians that are so quick and able to do that.

• 22:36Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 22:37Speaker 03

  But I think the hard part is when you have two shows on Saturday and two shows on Sunday. Cause I drink.

• 22:42Speaker 05

  Mm hmm.

• 22:43Speaker 03

  And so I drink every Friday.

• 22:45Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 22:45Speaker 03

  And so I, last week, I, I went out Friday. When I'm sleepy at a guy's house, I'm just like,

• 22:53Speaker 03

  but I didn't, I didn't sleep at all. And I was like, like, he didn't have anything to put me to bed. I was like, oh my, I'm gonna freak out.

• 23:00Speaker 05

  He didn't have anything to put you to bed?

• 23:02Speaker 03

  He had some melatonin, but like, that's lightweight. I mean, like,

• 23:05Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 23:06Speaker 03

  My sleep cocktail goes crazy. But so I didn't sleep and I was hungover. So on like the first Saturday show, I was literally like, I would dead man and then I'd

• 23:15Speaker 05

  Oh, it's tough being an icon.

• 23:19Speaker 03

  I know, but it, it's been great. Um, did you ever watch like Everyone Loves Raymond?

• 23:23Speaker 05

  Uh, I did not.

• 23:24Speaker 03

  Okay. Well, I'm working with Ray Romano. Do you watch Succession?

• 23:27Speaker 05

  Yes. Oh shit.

• 23:28Speaker 03

  I'm working with Nicholas Braun.

• 23:30Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 23:30Speaker 03

  Who's about just as tall as you are.

• 23:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, the tall one.

• 23:32Speaker 03

  Yeah. And I'm working with Jenny Slate.

• 23:34Speaker 05

  Oh wow.

• 23:35Speaker 03

  Who is incredible as well.

• 23:36Speaker 05

  Yeah. And like, I know how intense, well, I haven't done Broadway. I know how intense that schedule is for you to take the time out to interview me. I was like, I even checked in with my team. I was like, so when is this happening? And he's on Broadway. So

• 23:48Speaker 03

  Oh my God. No, you know what? The schedule, at least for this show, really isn't that intense. The show starts at 7:30. I get to the theater at 6:30 and then I, I do the show. It's really like, it's, they've made the environment so warm and welcoming and easy that it's like, you put on your costume, put on your mic, you go do the show and then you sign playbills and then you go home. It's really like, and it's fun. Like, you know what I mean? It doesn't feel, it really doesn't feel like work because it is so fun and like, Like doing, like getting to hear people laugh in real time at something you've said.

• 24:22Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:22Speaker 03

  It's like the best feeling. There's like no comparable feeling in the entire world to that to me. So like, it doesn't feel, it doesn't feel like work.

• 24:30Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:30Speaker 03

  Is what I'm trying to say.

• 24:31Speaker 05

  Was Broadway like acting the?

• 24:33Speaker 03

  The goal?

• 24:34Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:34Speaker 03

  No, it's, it's so funny how things kind of just, some, some of the best things in your life kind of just come to you.

• 24:41Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:41Speaker 03

  You know what I mean?

• 24:42Speaker 05

  When you're a good person?

• 24:43Speaker 03

  What?

• 24:43Speaker 05

  When you're a good person too.

• 24:44Speaker 03

  Hopefully.

• 24:45Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, no.

• 24:46Speaker 03

  Do you think I'm a good person?

• 24:47Speaker 05

  I, I feel that you're a good person.

• 24:49Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 24:49Speaker 05

  I feel like I have intuition.

• 24:50Speaker 03

  You do?

• 24:51Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:51Speaker 03

  What's your, what's your, what's your star sign?

• 24:53Speaker 05

  My star sign?

• 24:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 24:54Speaker 05

  Green flag.

• 24:55Speaker 03

  What?

• 24:56Speaker 05

  My star sign is a green flag. Green, I'm a walking green flag.

• 25:00Speaker 03

  Okay, but what, when is your birthday, Tyreek?

• 25:06Speaker 05

  Well, we don't have to get into star signs because I'm gonna tell you and then you're gonna look at me differently and then you're gonna be.

• 25:10Speaker 03

  Are you a fucking Gemini?

• 25:12Speaker 05

  Yuck!

• 25:16Speaker 03

  What are you? Tell me.

• 25:20Speaker 05

  Oh, you like cancer?

• 25:21Speaker 03

  I love cancers. That must mean you love your family so much. You love being home.

• 25:25Speaker 05

  Yeah, I love.

• 25:25Speaker 03

  You cry, do you cry all the time?

• 25:27Speaker 05

  I wouldn't say all the time. I would say like.

• 25:29Speaker 03

  Be honest.

• 25:30Speaker 05

  You know, a couple of times a week, you know?

• 25:33Speaker 03

  You know I haven't cried since 2019?

• 25:34Speaker 05

  Really?

• 25:35Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm. All up in here.

• 25:36Speaker 05

  Are you okay?

• 25:37Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 25:38Speaker 05

  What, what's your star sign?

• 25:39Speaker 03

  Scorpio.

• 25:40Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 25:42Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 25:42Speaker 03

  You're Scorpio? October, November. Ooh, you're crazy.

• 25:46Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 25:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 25:48Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 25:48Speaker 03

  Are you, are you in a relationship?

• 25:51Speaker 05

  Stop flirting.

• 25:52Speaker 03

  Are you the crazy?

• 25:52Speaker 05

  Stop flirting with my publicist over here. Before we started the episode.

• 25:55Speaker 03

  I'll be seeing him later.

• 25:57Speaker 05

  I heard you flirting.

• 25:58Speaker 03

  We are not flirting. He has a boyfriend.

• 26:02Speaker 05

  I love it. I love it. Yeah, um, so yeah, what would you say, what would younger you say to you right now? You just want us to finish the tour? Pass out.

• 26:10Speaker 03

  Pass out, but, but back to what I was saying. The camera can't see, but we're like playing footsie right now.

• 26:19Speaker 03

  We like low key are, I'm like.

• 26:22Speaker 03

  Um, I, so Ashley Park was supposed to be in it.

• 26:26Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 26:27Speaker 03

  She, or she had another commitment.

• 26:28Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 26:29Speaker 03

  And so I got the call. And I was like, I know that a lot of people are gonna say that this is a stunt cast. And like, like, I know that people are gonna say I don't deserve to be here. So I've been trying really hard to prove myself.

• 26:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 26:41Speaker 03

  And put the time in and the work in because I know that I'm, that this was a lux, like I, I feel very lucky to have been able to do this.

• 26:48Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 26:49Speaker 03

  So I, that's, that's like what's been going through my head in terms, you didn't ask that question.

• 26:54Speaker 05

  No, well, I appreciate it. No, I'm a Cancer, so I'm, I'm, I empathize and I feel, even for me, like, like you asked that question about the book. Or even stepping on a set to, for like Jordan Peele movie, you're like, do I deserve to be here, you know? But I think success is when luck meets hard work. And I think you put in the, the work, uh, to be there. And so if anybody has anything to say.

• 27:18Speaker 03

  The same for you.

• 27:18Speaker 05

  Fuck them two times. So, yeah.

• 27:21Speaker 03

  I loved that. Wait, have you, so have you met Jordan Peele?

• 27:25Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah.

• 27:26Speaker 03

  Okay. He went to my high school.

• 27:29Speaker 05

  Really?

• 27:30Speaker 03

  And he, at the time, was starring in Key and Peele.

• 27:32Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 27:33Speaker 03

  And he hadn't done Get Out yet or anything. And he was so awesome.

• 27:40Speaker 05

  Yeah, no.

• 27:41Speaker 03

  He's such a cool guy.

• 27:42Speaker 05

  You know, he's mixed too.

• 27:44Speaker 03

  Is he really?

• 27:44Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah. So.

• 27:45Speaker 03

  Did you guys talk about that?

• 27:47Speaker 05

  Yeah, we talked about it. I think that was a big part of him and the movie and, uh, the casting and, you know, um, and he really, um, you know, championed me to get this, to get the role and, uh, you know, coming from an Atlanta episode, uh, that, that's a lot, that's not a, enough, enough for a studio to be like, yeah, we're gonna put you as the lead of the movie. So like now, what you were saying earlier is like, I had to prove myself every day on that set. So it was like, I went like 10x of, you know, um, I have to commit myself and, uh, the character in the movie was kinda like my experience in real life where like I get this one opportunity to tell this story on a, a studio level where it's.

• 28:31Speaker 05

  Coming out theatrically.

• 28:33Speaker 03

  Did you play football?

• 28:34Speaker 05

  I played football-ish, like, uh, I played a different position than quarterback.

• 28:39Speaker 03

  But then you played soccer, right?

• 28:40Speaker 05

  I, I grew up playing soccer.

• 28:41Speaker 03

  You grew up playing soccer and then played football?

• 28:43Speaker 05

  Then played football out of spite. I'm here today because of spite. Because, you know, like, so, it's all like this, you know, this, this cycle of spite. You know, you get cheated on and, you know, then you do this, you know, I'm, oh, watch this, I'm gonna be the best soccer player ever. And then I burned out and got cut my senior year of high school. But I played high school soccer and then club soccer. High school soccer doesn't really matter. It's the club where we were like top.

• 29:09Speaker 03

  I know, yes, because I was a volleyball kid, so I remember the high school volleyball didn't matter, but the club volleyball mattered.

• 29:13Speaker 05

  Yeah, but I was in varsity soccer in seventh grade.

• 29:21Speaker 03

  Were you not good or did something happen?

• 29:22Speaker 05

  No, it was like, I, you get burned out, you go through like the puberty and you, like, you shoot to a different height and you're just like, I don't care, nothing matters.

• 29:30Speaker 03

  What was puberty like for you?

• 29:31Speaker 05

  Puberty was like, I went from probably your height to...

• 29:39Speaker 03

  Uh huh.

• 29:41Speaker 05

  To like, 6'12". Uh, and that was like, I was lanky, I didn't know how to use my body and it was like, very fast and late, I was a late bloomer, so it was like...

• 29:50Speaker 03

  What, what, yeah, puberty sucks. I don't like remember going through puberty.

• 29:54Speaker 05

  Yeah, no one does.

• 29:55Speaker 03

• 30:22Speaker 03

  I'm so scared of my own balls.

• 30:26Speaker 03

  In a sense, not that there was something's wrong with them, but like I'm always scared to like, like get kicked or sit on them weird or like.

• 30:34Speaker 05

  Oh, oh.

• 30:35Speaker 03

  You know what I mean?

• 30:37Speaker 05

  That was a flex, he said just sit on them, yeah.

  Weird flex, but okay.

• 30:43Speaker 03

  No, like, no, I'm not saying.

• 30:45Speaker 05

  I hate when I go to the bathroom, my dick touches the water.

• 30:48Speaker 03

  I'm not saying I have like big balls, I'm just saying like, it's like one of those like irrational fears that I have that like, they are like, like they bug balls bug me out, they're like, like they're like, they're just like organs, like they're like, like organs, like sitting, hanging, like they really bug me out.

• 31:07Speaker 05

  Skin, it needs like a skincare routine, it feels like the skin.

• 31:10Speaker 03

  Does it?

• 31:13Speaker 05

  I can only speak to mine.

• 31:13Speaker 03

  Oh my god, and then like, can I just like, we can cut this, cause this is gonna, but like shaving your balls, like, when you, when you cut your balls and you're bleeding out of your ball sack.

• 31:24Speaker 05

  That's the worst.

• 31:25Speaker 03

  Oh my god, I feel like I just cut my neck open.

• 31:28Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 31:28Speaker 03

  Like, do you know what I mean?

• 31:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd rather eat a jean jacket than cut my balls like that.

• 31:33Speaker 03

  I'd rather eat a jean jacket than cut my.

• 31:35Speaker 05

  Own balls.

• 31:36Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 31:37Speaker 05

  No, I do, like, waxes are important.

• 31:39Speaker 03

  I wax.

• 31:40Speaker 05

  Yeah, you wax, it's like.

• 31:41Speaker 03

  Do you wax?

• 31:42Speaker 05

  I haven't done in a while, but I am a pro waxer.

• 31:45Speaker 03

  I, where do you go? Don't say it.

• 31:47Speaker 05

  No, I'm not gonna say it.

• 31:49Speaker 03

  European, European wax center?

• 31:54Speaker 05

  I like moved from Florida or Atlanta and I had like, you, you have to build a relationship with.

• 31:59Speaker 03

  You're a waxer?

• 32:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, you're a waxer, and I remember they tried to like, send somebody out and I was like, no, she's like, no, we can't, we have to.

• 32:06Speaker 03

  Have you been to a European wax center?

• 32:08Speaker 05

  Absolutely, that's.

• 32:09Speaker 03

  How do you think, do you think they're run well?

• 32:15Speaker 03

  Give me an honest answer, this is the one thing.

• 32:17Speaker 05

  From my, from my experience,

• 32:21Speaker 05

  it could be better, you know?

• 32:22Speaker 03

  What could be better about it, cause I, I can tell you?

• 32:25Speaker 05

  Yeah, you tell me.

• 32:26Speaker 03

  Why are there two receptionists for one waxer?

• 32:31Speaker 05

  Money laundering.

• 32:32Speaker 03

  That's what I said. Why are there two receptionists for one waxer?

• 32:38Speaker 05

  You're gonna like spark an investigation.

• 32:40Speaker 03

  Let's think about it for a second, right? There's two receptionists.

• 32:44Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 32:45Speaker 03

  One waxer.

• 32:46Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's where your money's going.

• 32:47Speaker 03

  Why would two people be checking in? Like if you're like, oh, can you help this customer? Or can you help this customer?

• 32:54Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 32:54Speaker 03

  There's only one waxer back there. Both customers are going to the same waxer. So wouldn't it make sense to have two waxers and one receptionist? It does not make sense. Like it actually makes me mad too. And then like when I was late once, I was like, hey, I'm running a few minutes behind. They're like, if you are nine minutes late.

• 33:13Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 33:13Speaker 03

  You're done.

• 33:14Speaker 05

  Wow, nine?

• 33:15Speaker 03

  Nine. And I was like, even if I'm 10, they said nine is the cutoff.

• 33:20Speaker 05

  Nine is so funny.

• 33:21Speaker 03

  And then I got in, we looked at each other like, what's up?

• 33:23Speaker 05

  What's up?

• 33:24Speaker 03

  And like.

• 33:24Speaker 05

  You're like this, what's up?

• 33:27Speaker 03

  And then my waxer was great, but now I feel uncomfortable to go back because I am a huge beef with them.

• 33:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, I'm telling you that relationship between wax and waxer and waxy.

• 33:37Speaker 03

  No, my waxer is lovely. Shout out her, forget your name, but you were amazing.

• 33:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, my waxer, she used to make fun of me.

• 33:44Speaker 03

  Why?

• 33:44Speaker 05

  I don't know, you just kind of need to be made fun of like, you know.

• 33:49Speaker 03

  What?

• 33:49Speaker 05

  When you're in that vulnerable position.

• 33:51Speaker 03

  Like, haha, you're hairy.

• 33:53Speaker 05

  Yeah, she was like, I was probably one of the most hairy ones that she, she was like, it's like pulling like a forest out. Not anymore. That was my first time getting waxed.

• 34:03Speaker 03

  Of your butthole?

• 34:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, everything, you know?

• 34:05Speaker 03

  Well, you got it if you're gonna have.

• 34:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's good hygiene. When you go to the bathroom, you know, and I think I'm a advocate for, you know.

• 34:12Speaker 03

  Good hygiene.

• 34:12Speaker 05

  Proper male hygiene, because.

• 34:13Speaker 03

  You know, I showered three times the other day just because I was seeing a man.

• 34:17Speaker 05

  Really? Three?

• 34:18Speaker 03

  Three. Washed my hair multiple times.

  Give it to me.

• 36:05Speaker 05

  I feel like when you, when you go into these hotels, this sounds like first world. And, and you know, you have those showerheads that are like just above you. And I just feel like they're not very inclusive for people who don't want to get their, their hair wet.

• 36:19Speaker 03

  Okay. So the hotel I'm staying at, you can decide if you want the one above or.

• 36:23Speaker 05

• 36:25Speaker 05

  There's levels to this shit.

• 36:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, I get it.

• 36:29Speaker 05

  Because I have, I have friends, you know, um, that like you just can't get your hair wet.

• 36:33Speaker 03

  But then sometimes you, but, but even if you put on like a cap, like it's still like pushes the hair.

• 36:39Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, I think.

• 36:40Speaker 03

  I totally get that.

• 36:41Speaker 05

  I think they're not very inclusive.

• 36:42Speaker 03

  That's fucking annoying.

• 36:43Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's really annoying.

• 36:44Speaker 03

  How's the water pressure there?

• 36:45Speaker 05

  Water, oh, oh my God, the water pressure, uh, it could be better, it could be better.

• 36:50Speaker 03

  I agree.

• 36:50Speaker 05

  I'm like.

• 36:51Speaker 03

  I agree.

• 36:51Speaker 05

  Turn, turn it all the way up.

• 36:53Speaker 03

  All the way up.

• 36:53Speaker 05

  I'm very like, I'm very particular about that. The, the water temperature is really great. I like to like, you know, scorch.

• 37:00Speaker 03

  Scorch.

• 37:01Speaker 05

  But also, um, don't, like, I need to ask about having a, a, a tub in my room, you know?

• 37:06Speaker 03

  Wait, we were so just like right there without each other. I was about to ask if you take baths.

• 37:11Speaker 05

  Yes, I, I'm a very, like, do you, okay, there's a big, big question here. There's a right answer. Okay, do you just hop in the bath or do you like?

• 37:19Speaker 03

  Wait for a.

• 37:20Speaker 05

  Bath, shower or shower, bath, or do you like, what, what's the, what's the process?

• 37:24Speaker 03

  I don't take baths. I, I don't like them.

• 37:26Speaker 05

  Oh, what?

• 37:28Speaker 03

  Cause I'm like, I'm so hot, I'm so hot.

• 37:30Speaker 05

  Yeah, but that's the best part. You're like, kinda like almost pass out.

• 37:33Speaker 03

  No, no, no, no, no. So if I ever do take a bath, which is rare, I hop in the bath and then I shower after.

• 37:39Speaker 05

  Bath, so you, you're in your own soup, you're in your own.

• 37:43Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 37:44Speaker 05

  Jake's soup and then you shower this, the dirt off.

• 37:48Speaker 03

  Oh, I've never, you shower before the bath?

• 37:51Speaker 05

  Absolutely. You gotta get, you gotta clean and then get in the bath and then.

• 37:54Speaker 03

  You know, the best is when there's the bath in the same room as the shower and it's like in the same.

• 37:59Speaker 05

  Oh, it's like a wet bath?

• 38:01Speaker 03

  So you just like turn on the shower, bath, hop out, oh my God.

  They won't go away.

• 38:26Speaker 05

  That's the stubborn fat. The stubborn fat, I feel like I have to like.

• 38:29Speaker 03

  Do you think there is a procedure that we can just get it shaved off?

• 38:33Speaker 05

  I think you can like, there's like, add cold, like, there's this cold stuff, you can like, put press on it.

• 38:38Speaker 03

  I really, really, really want them gone, they make me so insecure.

• 38:41Speaker 05

  No matter how like skinny I get, they're always there.

• 38:45Speaker 03

  They're always there.

• 38:46Speaker 05

  And I say something and nobody like hears me, nobody validates me on my feelings.

• 38:50Speaker 03

  I'm validating you right here, right now.

• 40:55Speaker 05

  I'm not all caught up for the the season finale.

• 40:58Speaker 03

  So today, my plan after this is to start season four of Industry. I'm so excited.

• 41:04Speaker 05

  Yeah. Who's your? Who's your favorite person on Industry of all seasons?

• 41:08Speaker 03

  Yaz.

• 41:09Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love.

• 41:10Speaker 03

  She is. She gives me full body chills like Yaz is like ripping lines of coke, killing her dad like like fucking people over left and right like, oh, my God, she makes me sick.

• 41:25Speaker 05

  A diva. I love that. I my favorite, obviously, is Harper, you know, Mahala, you know.

• 41:32Speaker 03

  Well, she or she is. She's a cutthroat.

• 41:36Speaker 05

  Yes, she's a cutthroat.

• 41:37Speaker 03

  She fucks over is is what's his name in the show, her boss?

• 41:40Speaker 05

  Uh, um.

• 41:41Speaker 03

  Is it Eric? When she fucks over Eric, oh, at that retreat, at that retreat in season three, and she sits across from him like this, I mean, if you know her in person, have you ever met Mahala in person?

• 41:55Speaker 05

  I was too nervous to talk to her. I was at the Burberry show in London. I was so scared.

• 41:59Speaker 03

  She is the the nicest person.

• 42:01Speaker 05

  Funny TikToks.

• 42:02Speaker 03

  The funniest TikToks, the nicest, one of the nicest people I've ever met. It is so funny because in the show Harper is like, do you remember that scene in season one where Harper fucks up and she's chewing on gum and then her tooth like falls out? It's seriously one of the best shows on television. I and by the way, I've been an Industry fan. I cut you off.

• 42:21Speaker 05

  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, keep going, keep going.

• 42:25Speaker 03

  I've been an Industry fan since season one came out. Like, I've been on the train since that show came out and no one was watching it.

• 42:30Speaker 05

  Me too, and I feel like it's still like slept on and.

• 42:34Speaker 03

  No, no, it's it's.

• 42:35Speaker 05

  It's known now, but like it's not, it's gonna, it's the gift that just keeps on giving.

• 42:39Speaker 03

  You know what it's gonna have because it's next season, it's final season? It's gonna have a succession moment.

• 42:43Speaker 05

  It's gonna have a succession moment. Um, and. I love David Johnson. He's uh, he was in season one and two. When did he leave? Yeah, he like left the firm and started working in politics in the show.

• 42:56Speaker 03

  Oh, yes. He's not in the show anymore.

• 42:58Speaker 05

  Yeah, he left. I forgot how he left, but um.

• 43:00Speaker 03

  That show is fucking old.

• 43:02Speaker 05

  But also, I think industry, it's like, for me, to have a black woman at the helm of the show, and it's such a, you know, I feel like it should be critically acclaimed, but like, elite cinematic show, and to see her like, grace that show with just such, you know, presence and performance, I think for me, that's, that show is important. I think that's why I love industry even more.

• 43:26Speaker 03

  Right.

• 43:27Speaker 05

  Um, especially in the finance, finance world, where it's like a, it's a very toxic male dominated field, and to see her journey, and to see her outside of, um, you know, industry, I think I love her personality, from what I've perceived, and, you know, and I, I'm big on like, personality and just not taking things too serious, and I feel like, she's the epitome of that, and, you know, I'd love to do something with her.

• 43:52Speaker 03

  Yeah. She's.

• 43:53Speaker 05

  Her and David, that's it.

• 43:54Speaker 03

  She's so excellent in everything she does. Have you seen Leave the World Behind?

• 43:58Speaker 05

  I have not seen.

• 43:58Speaker 03

  She's in Leave the World Behind. She's amazing in it. She's in Bodies Bodies Bodies.

• 44:03Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 44:03Speaker 03

  She's incredible in that. She's booked and fucking busy.

• 44:07Speaker 05

  Booked and busy.

• 44:08Speaker 03

  Because she, I mean, she can act.

• 44:10Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 44:11Speaker 03

  She can act. And her, my, just like her relationship with Yaz in the show is so fun, because they're also friends in real life.

• 44:20Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 44:20Speaker 03

  So it's so fun to see.

• 44:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, I, I was too nervous. I should have said something at the show.

• 44:24Speaker 03

  You should have. She's the nicest, she's so kind.

• 44:27Speaker 05

  I was like, one person from her, and I was just like, oh. And those, and that's the anxiety, and like, who am I to be talking to them, or?

• 44:35Speaker 03

  You're you.

• 44:36Speaker 05

  Yeah, but that's what we were talking about earlier, you're like, uh, and like Olivia Dean was in the room, you're like.

• 44:41Speaker 03

  Oh, I love Olivia Dean. Oh, well, who are you listening to?

• 44:44Speaker 05

  Olivia Dean, you know, um, I think Olivia Dean's just.

• 44:49Speaker 05

  Man, watching her win Grammy, uh, the Grammy for Best New Artist, I think she goes platinum in this household, you know?

• 44:56Speaker 03

  Right.

• 44:56Speaker 05

  And she has a song for any type of-

• 44:58Speaker 03

  Any type of feeling.

• 44:59Speaker 05

  Any type of feeling.

• 45:00Speaker 03

  Oh, she really does.

• 45:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, like "Slowly" is a great song, you know, obviously you have like "The Man I Need", it's just-

• 45:08Speaker 03

  You know, when you hear a song for the first time and you're like, that's an instant classic?

• 45:11Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 45:11Speaker 03

  When I heard "Man I Need" for the first time, I was like, that's a classic.

• 45:13Speaker 05

  Yeah, and she's so chic, meeting her.

• 45:15Speaker 03

  So chic.

• 45:16Speaker 05

  I, I spoke to her, I was like-

• 45:18Speaker 03

  Was she nice?

• 45:19Speaker 05

  She was so nice. She was like about to grab water, uh, and I knew it was sparkling water, and I was like, no, no, no, no. It's sparkling water. And she was like, oh, thank you so much. So I basically saved her life. And the reason why you're gonna get more Olivia Dean is because of me.

• 45:32Speaker 03

  Yeah. So who else are you listening to right now?

• 45:35Speaker 05

  Who else? Uh, I'm a big, you probably never heard of this artist before, uh, but, uh, Rod Wave, um, he's a Florida singer-

• 45:44Speaker 03

  Why would I have not have heard of Rod Wave?

• 45:45Speaker 05

  Really?

• 45:46Speaker 03

  He's cute.

• 45:47Speaker 05

  Yeah, he's huge.

• 45:48Speaker 03

  Well-

• 45:51Speaker 03

  He's huge. Rod Wave is huge.

• 45:53Speaker 05

  And he's a big Olivia Dean fan, too.

• 45:54Speaker 03

  He sings, give me a few.

• 45:56Speaker 05

  Uh, um, uh, "Tombstone".

• 45:59Speaker 03

  He sings that song with Sadie Jean on it, too.

• 46:01Speaker 05

  Uh, uh, yes, um, what, what, why can I?

• 46:05Speaker 03

  No.

• 46:05Speaker 05

  He has "Great Gatsby", he has, um, "Thug Motivation".

• 46:09Speaker 03

  He sells out like arenas.

• 46:11Speaker 05

  But he, he really rides for Olivia Dean.

• 46:13Speaker 03

  Really?

• 46:14Speaker 05

  I went up to Olivia Dean, I said, "You're my favorite artist's favorite artist."

• 46:17Speaker 03

  What are you doing now?

• 46:18Speaker 05

  What am I doing?

• 46:19Speaker 03

  You know, like that, that song, "What are you doing now?"

• 46:22Speaker 05

  And I met Sadie briefly, too.

• 46:23Speaker 03

  She is so sweet.

• 46:24Speaker 05

  She's the nicest.

• 46:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 46:26Speaker 05

  I think, didn't that song go viral on TikTok?

• 46:28Speaker 03

  And then he picked, and then he sampled it. But he has a few other ones that I like.

• 46:32Speaker 05

  And he brings people on tour, like-

• 46:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, he brought her on tour.

• 46:34Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, he brings her on tour when he had no business doing that.

• 46:37Speaker 03

  Have you heard the, have you seen the videos of, have you, have you seen him live?

• 46:41Speaker 05

  No, I don't, yeah, I don't have to-

• 46:42Speaker 03

  I, when I realized how big he was is when he was performing and the audience was screaming the lyrics back.

• 46:50Speaker 05

  Bro.

• 46:50Speaker 03

  What other, what songs did he sing?

• 46:53Speaker 05

  Yes. Sienna Rose. Have you heard of Sienna Rose?

• 47:48Speaker 03

  No.

• 47:49Speaker 05

  Golden Skin. She's just in the same type of vibe.

  So you like, like, slow?

• 47:56Speaker 05

  Yeah. So Sienna Rose, you have Dejawn.

• 48:00Speaker 03

  I, the new Dejawn album is?

  Yeah.

• 48:03Speaker 03

  Well, have you heard his song with Bon Iver?

• 48:05Speaker 05

  No, which one is that?

• 48:07Speaker 03

  Day One.

• 48:07Speaker 05

  Day One?

• 48:08Speaker 03

  So it's maybe my song of the year besides this other Bon Iver song.

• 48:13Speaker 05

  Uh, bro, I just start, like, I, when albums come out, I like, don't give them the attention because I'm like, oh, I gotta give it some time, let it die down, don't let people affect me. But, you know, the, the new Justin Bieber, the swag album, I've just started like really consuming that.

• 48:31Speaker 03

  Yeah, fire.

• 48:31Speaker 05

  And that, that's really important to me.

• 48:33Speaker 03

  It's like Journal, it's two point O.

• 48:35Speaker 05

  Exactly.

• 48:36Speaker 03

  It's very much, it's giving like, this is the music Justin wanted to make, is the vibe.

• 48:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 48:41Speaker 03

  What's an album that's changed your life?

• 48:43Speaker 05

  What's the name of this, uh, Last Rod Wave album?

• 48:46Speaker 03

  So he's your number one artist.

• 48:47Speaker 05

  He's my number one played.

• 48:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 48:49Speaker 05

  Last Lap was, the song Last Lap, too.

• 48:52Speaker 03

  I need to give it a listen.

• 48:53Speaker 05

  Yeah, cuz I think, uh, Last Lap, the song, I remember where I was. I was leaving South Africa. Uh, and I was in the airport and the song dropped. I remember there was clips on Twitter and I was just like. Trying to like inject it into my veins and I think I I like sad music.

• 49:12Speaker 03

  I love sad music.

• 49:13Speaker 05

  I love a sad sad song and you know, I said again. Favorite sad song, um, my favorite sad song and we'll get into that one. Last lap because you know, his his uncle, uh, he lost his uncle and I lost a brother, an older brother.

• 49:29Speaker 03

  You did, I'm so sorry.

• 49:30Speaker 05

  Uh, just don't let it happen again.

• 49:33Speaker 03

  What'd you say?

• 49:36Speaker 03

  What did you just say?

• 49:37Speaker 05

  You said sorry, I said, don't let it happen again. I never know what to say when people say sorry, like, it's just, alright, moving on.

• 49:53Speaker 05

  Uh, no.

• 49:54Speaker 03

  I got it.

• 49:55Speaker 05

  Everything's fine.

• 49:56Speaker 03

  I got it.

• 49:57Speaker 05

  Everything's fine.

• 49:57Speaker 03

  I don't, but like, I understand what you're saying. I am sorry though.

• 50:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, I appreciate that. Um, and yeah, I think things that make that reword how you feel or put into like a song and like, and I think, uh, with Rod Wave, a lot of his songs, like they aren't all just lyrics. It's like the feeling that it puts into your body.

• 50:20Speaker 03

  That is the same way I feel about Bon Iver.

• 50:22Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 50:23Speaker 03

  It's like he, like he has, and honestly, Taylor Swift.

• 50:26Speaker 05

  Is that how you say his name?

• 50:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, Bon Iver.

• 50:28Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 50:29Speaker 03

  And like they're like, it's like, it's, um, it's like the production, like, like the production like makes you feel like it makes you think of a place.

• 50:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 50:38Speaker 03

  It makes you think of a feeling.

• 50:39Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 50:39Speaker 03

  Like, like when I listen to like, um, there's this Taylor Swift song called Tis the Damn Season.

• 50:44Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 50:44Speaker 03

  And like the, the drum of the, biggest, this drum of the guitar chord like makes me think about when I lived in the suburbs when I was a kid.

• 50:53Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 50:53Speaker 03

  Like it makes me, like I, I feel like I'm there, like, that's real good music.

• 50:58Speaker 05

  In the halftime, I don't even remember the lyrics. I just remember like.

• 51:01Speaker 03

  The feeling.

• 51:02Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, and like, uh, about it's the journey of success and like, I think Tombstone or Thug Motivation. Like there's a point in the song where I'm like, I can't.

• 51:10Speaker 03

  Oh, I've heard Thug Motivation.

• 51:11Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, that's.

• 51:13Speaker 03

  That's fire song.

• 51:14Speaker 05

  I'm clipping that.

• 51:15Speaker 03

  Really?

• 51:16Speaker 05

  Go on a photo, Instagram dump.

• 51:18Speaker 03

  Jake has heard Thug Motivation.

• 51:20Speaker 05

  And you always have to make sure the song is something that's like, you actually like it, but people are like, I didn't know.

• 51:58Speaker 05

  But it can't be controversial.

• 52:00Speaker 03

  I didn't know he listened to that.

• 52:01Speaker 05

  Yeah, it has to be like, oh, you know ball.

• 52:04Speaker 03

  Play, play the music. Or no, I guess, no, don't play that. There is no music?

• 53:34Speaker 05

  There's no music on this one, but the place is the world. We're from the same place. Where?

• 53:39Speaker 03

  The world. No, the Bronx?

• 53:41Speaker 05

• 54:04Speaker 03

  Oh, love this. Glasses, dog. You don't even, oh, I didn't even know you were filming. You said, I didn't even know you were filming.

  Yeah, it's when you put that heart into it, and people love the balance.

• 55:23Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 55:23Speaker 05

  I think that's why TikTok works so much, because TikTok, you'll scroll, you'll be crying, and the next one, you'll be laughing, crying, laughing. I think it just keeps you engaged. So, not that I was trying to do that, but like, I think that's what I hear.

• 55:35Speaker 03

  That's a great dump.

• 55:36Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 55:37Speaker 03

  Dumping is so fun.

• 55:38Speaker 05

  Yeah, and do you have those select friends where you're like, you have the vision that I want, and you ask them, hey, what do you think?

• 55:46Speaker 03

  Uh, I have a best friend named Julia. Who is like, will post like five dumps a week.

• 55:52Speaker 05

  Yeah.

  She's really good at it. So I always say to her, like, is this a good dump?

• 55:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah. And are you good at captions?

• 55:59Speaker 03

  Um, yeah. My captions are usually just like, yeah. Fun.

• 56:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, keep it less is more.

• 56:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, less is more.

• 56:08Speaker 05

  Less is more.

• 56:09Speaker 03

  Okay, are you ready to get into the tell me what's wrongs? Or do you need to take a pee break?

• 56:12Speaker 05

  Or? Yeah, piss piss break?

• 56:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, go take a pee break.

• 56:17Speaker 03

  I've been talking to this guy for a little over a month.

• 56:20Speaker 05

  Uh, talking to this guy, men, I'm just saying.

• 56:23Speaker 03

  Well, you're in a lot of movies about him. Him, reminders of him. I've been talking to this guy for a little over a month. We do everything that people in a relationship would do. Have met each other's families. I've traveled three plus hours multiple times to visit him and talk 24/7. This past weekend, I was visiting him at his college and found a girl as his pinned text.

• 56:43Speaker 05

  Wait, found a girl what?

• 56:44Speaker 03

  Has he found a girl as his pinned text, which includes saved shirtless pictures of him and her and their chat. Via LinkedIn and my old and my own skills, I found out that she was from another state and they met at a career fair at his college. Literally, what do I do? So he's.

• 57:00Speaker 05

  Run.

• 57:02Speaker 03

  Run?

• 57:02Speaker 05

  He's the devil. Ah, that's tough.

• 57:06Speaker 03

  It's giving, um, have you seen that movie with Logan Lerman and Molly Gordon where he's like, we're not exclusive and then she ties him to the bed?

• 57:13Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's giving that. It's so now, is it like advice?

• 57:19Speaker 03

  Yeah, what's your advice for that?

• 57:20Speaker 05

  My advice? He's a narcissist. Uh, and I think, damn, that's tough.

• 57:26Speaker 03

  Why do you think he's a narcissist? Because she hasn't clarified whether that they've had an exclusivity conversation.

• 57:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, okay, so, uh, DTR.

• 57:34Speaker 03

  Okay, you're big on that?

• 57:35Speaker 05

  You're big on DTR, but I'm not like careless. You know what I'm saying? Like.

• 57:40Speaker 03

  How?

• 57:41Speaker 05

  How soon?

• 57:43Speaker 03

  You first.

• 57:44Speaker 05

  DTR, if you don't know what DTR is, define the relationship. Uh, and but he's, man, that's tough.

• 57:55Speaker 05

  How soon?

• 57:56Speaker 03

  Yeah, I was gonna say, how soon do you think it's okay to be like, what are we doing here?

• 58:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, I think it's if you're intimate sexually with a person, I think after that happens.

• 58:08Speaker 03

  After you fuck.

• 58:09Speaker 05

  Or after or right before, that's not her, man. I think it's very disrespectful that he's like trying to play, you know, have this cake and eat it too. Or Kate and Edith too. I don't know what's.

• 58:20Speaker 03

  It's yeah, have this cake and eat it too. But like, okay, for my own personal research purposes right now.

• 58:26Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 58:27Speaker 03

  If I've been on dates sexually intimate, not now, right? I don't think I can now, right? No.

• 58:35Speaker 05

  You can do whatever you want.

• 58:37Speaker 03

  What do you think?

• 58:37Speaker 05

  Are you okay with them seeing other people?

• 58:40Speaker 03

  Yeah, I mean, yeah, right now, of course, I'm.

• 58:43Speaker 05

  I think when you get to that point of like, okay, I would not like them with.

• 58:46Speaker 03

  So.

• 58:47Speaker 05

  With other people.

• 58:47Speaker 03

  So wait, just have fun and wait. Okay, love that.

• 58:50Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 58:50Speaker 03

  Love that.

• 58:51Speaker 05

  But it sounds like whoever's asking, whoever wrote that.

• 58:54Speaker 03

  Is not.

• 58:54Speaker 05

  Not cool with that. And I think communication, and I think that relationship sounds like it's kind of over because it's long distance too.

• 59:03Speaker 03

  Right.

• 59:03Speaker 05

  And now he probably, if she's pinned conversationally.

• 59:06Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 59:07Speaker 05

  And iMessage.

• 59:07Speaker 03

  Right.

• 59:08Speaker 05

  That I've only, I only have like three people.

• 59:10Speaker 03

  Who are your pins?

• 59:11Speaker 05

  My pin is my mom. And my publicist.

• 59:15Speaker 03

  Really?

• 59:16Speaker 05

  Chelsea, because she yells at me.

• 59:18Speaker 03

  I pinned her too. She's a vibe.

• 59:19Speaker 05

  Yeah, she is a vibe. She, I'm telling you, I love her so much.

• 59:23Speaker 03

  I want to hang out with you.

• 59:24Speaker 05

  Yeah, my mom and my publicist.

• 59:25Speaker 03

  We talk mad shit. Okay, ready?

• 59:29Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 59:30Speaker 03

  My college boyfriend and I broke up a few months ago and then this funny and helpful drug dealer came in my life. He's like obsessed with me, but all I wanted was a rebound. Low key love what he provides, lol. But I don't want to get in too deep. Like, what if the FBI comes in at my door, but dot, dot, dot, he's so good in bed as drug dealers are.

• 59:52Speaker 03

  Not that I've ever had sex with one, but listen, you can't, you can't. Have you seen Breaking Bad? You can't.

• 59:59Speaker 05

  But think about it, free drugs.

• 1:00:04Speaker 05

  Free, free good sex.

• 1:00:05Speaker 03

  But drug dealers have.

• 1:00:07Speaker 05

  You know, I get a little toxic. I, you know, I'm not gonna be like that, like.

• 1:00:11Speaker 03

  Are you toxic?

• 1:00:12Speaker 05

  Run away. I'm, you know, I have a little edge, you know, have your fun, live your life.

• 1:00:16Speaker 03

  Okay, what's the most toxic thing you've ever done?

• 1:00:20Speaker 05

  Toxic thing I've ever done?

• 1:00:23Speaker 05

  That's it, that's, mm, mm, mm, mm. Hmm, I'm trying to think what I can, can say. Uh, I've come a long way. I've kind of, I've come a long way. I've been humbled, though.

• 1:00:36Speaker 03

  Really?

• 1:00:37Speaker 05

  Yeah, LA humbled me a lot, you know?

• 1:00:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:00:39Speaker 05

  Um, so it balanced out the, the dirt I've done when I was in like college and, you know, it's just like, it was college, we're having fun. We're all broke and horny and stuff like that, so.

• 1:00:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, I got it.

• 1:00:53Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:00:54Speaker 03

  So, yeah, I would maybe just have some fun, but like, that's not your boyfriend, that's not.

• 1:00:57Speaker 05

  Yeah, don't catch feelings, get up out of there, like, try to keep it, like, brief, because if there's an FBI raid.

• 1:01:05Speaker 03

  It's not, I mean, it wouldn't land on you, I'm telling you, like, legality wise, like, you're not the one dealing the drugs, but yeah, that might be traumatic for you.

• 1:01:12Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:01:13Speaker 03

  I was waiting in line to walk across the stage at my college graduation ceremony. As I went to fix my cap, my phone was unlocked in my hand, and I accidentally forwarded my dad a dick pic that my situationship sent me reading, "Happy graduation day." Help, he wouldn't look at me for the rest of the day. I'm gonna make you feel better really quickly. One time, do you, do you know what Grindr is?

• 1:01:31Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:01:31Speaker 03

  I downloaded Grindr Premium and it sent my dad an email, and he texted me saying, "I don't have a problem with it, but you cannot charge Grindr to my credit card."

• 1:01:42Speaker 05

  Grindr, I thought was a dating app, so he assumed.

• 1:01:44Speaker 03

  You thought Grindr was a dating app? I mean, I know people that have met the loves of their lives on Grindr, but Grindr is.

• 1:01:50Speaker 05

  I had a roommate in, uh, my freshman year of college. We, we had a, an apartment, and it was a random roommate. And I think he was like a Grindr all-star.

• 1:02:01Speaker 03

  Really?

• 1:02:01Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:02:02Speaker 03

  Why? Did you hear bump in the middle of the night?

• 1:02:04Speaker 05

  It was, like, he had motion. He was, he was like the monarch of motion.

• 1:02:09Speaker 03

  Really?

• 1:02:10Speaker 05

  Like, he, every night, it was somebody, somebody new. Walk around the house, uh, Pierce nipples. Blast the music up, just blast.

• 1:02:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, I would say you just need to ignore it and pretend that it never happened. Literally pretend that it never.

• 1:02:25Speaker 05

  Also, you can, like, why, why is somebody sending you a dick pic?

• 1:02:29Speaker 03

  Saying happy graduation day.

• 1:02:31Speaker 05

  That's the problem.

• 1:02:32Speaker 03

  Really? I say thank you so much. Let's get involved later.

• 1:02:37Speaker 05

  I just couldn't do.

• 1:02:39Speaker 03

  Why is that? Why do I like?

• 1:02:41Speaker 05

  I've, I've dreamt, well, I guess, like, you know, I, I see the vision, yeah, for you, so. I see the vision. If you like it, you like it. I'm not gonna yuck your yum.

• 1:02:53Speaker 03

  Thank you. I appreciate that. I mean, I wouldn't be like, this is like the love of my life. I'd be like, oh, that's cheeky and cute. Like, let's fuck later after I graduate.

• 1:03:00Speaker 05

  I just, I.

• 1:03:04Speaker 03

  My friend broke my digital camera one day after I got it. I was generous and asked her if she could maybe pay fifty percent of it, which works to be forty euros. And all she has to say is, I have no money. Yet, the same night when we go to the club, she's always buying herself and others drinks and constantly going out and spending like help. That is a bad friend. That is a bad friend.

• 1:03:21Speaker 05

  Broke, bad friend, broke behavior. It's just, like.

• 1:03:26Speaker 03

  She's not prioritizing.

• 1:03:27Speaker 05

  That's not a friend. That's not a friend. Especially forty euros.

• 1:03:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:03:30Speaker 05

  What is that, like sixty USD?

• 1:03:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, she's like, and she's buying drinks at the club, which will equate to that.

• 1:03:35Speaker 05

  One drink is like a million, quadrillion, billion dollars.

• 1:03:39Speaker 03

  I, as a twenty-four-year-old adult, have officially shit my pants on the four oh five on the way to a job interview. My life is a two thousands comedy movie. I still went into the interview, but I was so late because I had to pull over, go into a store and change clothes while getting dirty looks the whole time. That they didn't even give me the light of day. This is gonna be a huge hit to my self-esteem, so what do I do to ignore that? Everybody shits their pants sometimes.

• 1:03:59Speaker 05

  You just can't think about it.

• 1:04:00Speaker 03

  You can't. You gotta move on with your day.

• 1:04:02Speaker 05

  Gotta move on, you know?

• 1:04:03Speaker 03

  It's your body. It's okay. It happens.

• 1:04:05Speaker 05

  It's, it's your body, and then, nobody has to know. I think they're perceiving people are giving them dirty looks, but it's like, oh, just go into the bathroom and.

• 1:04:13Speaker 03

  Right. I prescribed the movie Bridesmaids to make yourself feel better.

• 1:04:16Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, I definitely agree with that.

• 1:04:18Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. Well, those are it for the tell me what's wrongs.

• 1:04:20Speaker 05

  God, yes.

• 1:04:23Speaker 03

  Well, Tyreek, what did we learn today?

• 1:04:25Speaker 05

  Um, what did we learn?

• 1:04:27Speaker 03

  We learned that, you know what we learned? That there's three sides to every story. Me, you, and the truth.

• 1:04:35Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm. We learned that we both are. You know, we chronically overanalyze.

• 1:04:42Speaker 03

  Well, Tyreek, thank you for coming on the show.

• 1:04:45Speaker 05

  Thank you.

• 1:04:46Speaker 03

  Please watch Reminders of Him. It is incredible. I got the pleasure of seeing it last night. It was amazing.

• 1:04:50Speaker 05

  Thank you.

• 1:04:51Speaker 03

  Thank you for being here.

• 1:04:53Speaker 05

  Before I leave, I want to say thank you for allowing me in your space.

• 1:04:56Speaker 03

  Thank you. Thanks for being here.

• 1:04:57Speaker 05

  Yeah, this is one of my favorite interviews. But bye pussies.

• 1:05:18Speaker 00

  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 1:05:20Speaker 01

• 1:05:21Speaker 00

  Uh, Taylor Hansen? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.

• 1:05:27Speaker 01

  Hey, let's get back to work, please.

• 1:05:29Speaker 00

  But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites.

• 1:05:33Speaker 01

  Taylor Hansen? Nice. Try one. Mmm.
