00:00:00.000 two best friends both alike in dignity nurturing phantoms and courting the muse
00:00:07.280 the hag divines when something must die yes that was poog but this is huge the ego loves
00:00:13.300 to seek but never to find it was berlant and novak the whole time what was i gonna tell you
00:00:20.580 hello first of all hi have you have you heard the good news what no more um more here's the
00:00:29.640 headline that's not really accurate more microplastics in glass bottles no plastic okay
00:00:37.800 jacqueline what are you talking about i'm about to pull it back big time because that is obviously
00:00:41.700 the sensationalist headline that it's meant to get me and my friends more microplastics in glass
00:00:46.820 you know when you don't when you get into it don't don't know here when you get into who says
00:00:53.020 and how says
00:00:55.280 it was a study in France
00:00:57.460 so you know
00:00:58.400 they're drunk
00:00:59.480 I think they're more trustworthy
00:01:01.520 because you know it's not like
00:01:02.620 bought by whatever
00:01:04.320 then I went to Reddit
00:01:06.700 someone wrote TLDR
00:01:08.540 misdirection in title
00:01:11.240 it's plastic bottle caps
00:01:12.720 used on glass bottles
00:01:14.040 that show more microplastic
00:01:15.440 not glass bottles themselves
00:01:17.360 need studies where we use glass bottles
00:01:19.360 with no plastic at all
00:01:20.120 including no paints
00:01:21.000 blah blah blah
00:01:21.900 Apparently, you know, like when you're twisting off a cap, the only thing that's sealing it is essentially plastic, right?
00:01:28.820 Plastic, sure.
00:01:29.320 They're like, yeah, that metal cap isn't like truly just stuck on there with nothing but like crimped metal.
00:01:35.820 It's leaching the plastic in.
00:01:37.580 Well, yeah.
00:01:38.240 And so there was, whatever, it was like something, but it's a little confusing out there.
00:01:42.000 But it seems to have something to do with the paint on the cap.
00:01:44.700 Confusion runs and runs amok.
00:01:46.940 I thought it was exciting just to, you know, have something to head to, you know, it's weird.
00:01:51.180 I had to write it on but I'm like I was like I feel like I was lying in bed thinking about this
00:01:54.900 like you know tl dr too long didn't read it's like I was lying there going is there a is there
00:02:02.180 a semicolon in there right like formally because I was like I'm picturing a semicolon why am I
00:02:07.320 picturing a semicolon and yeah there is right a celly Coleman that's cute and then um not of me
00:02:14.240 but as a word so it's not technically the correct use I call him but spiritually it is
00:02:21.240 anyway I'm just shocked that people are I'm still I'm so hang on is this like making the rounds
00:02:26.380 because I'm like day four no Instagram so I'm like is this this is making the rounds I got
00:02:30.800 I got a direct text from a friend okay it's confusing and I did a close read and I have
00:02:35.700 good comprehension and I'm a little tired of sort of it's like you're gonna go through the work of
00:02:43.080 doing the study can it not be between like soda you know in a glass bottle you know versus it's
00:02:51.600 just like can we get real and be like we want to know about mountain valley with the with the metal
00:02:56.540 caps yeah yeah you know what I mean like yeah we don't think the the you who cap is totally you
00:03:03.360 know word on the street is what did someone say they're like are we going back to bottles and
00:03:09.840 corks. And someone was like, introducing new materials into consumption is just something
00:03:17.820 you can't. I mean, we've been involved for the years with cork. So it's like, they say something
00:03:24.940 about when you twist off the cap, rinse the cap before you reuse. Kill me now. 0.98
00:03:33.600 However I want to say. And yeah, I mean, plastic has won and I guess that's that. 0.97
00:03:39.080 but i enjoy talking about these things for sport and i want to make that clear because
00:03:43.260 someone i became friends with said to me you know listening to the podcast someone you became
00:03:47.400 friends i thought you were sorry okay i thought you were a health nut but then hang out with you

00:06:48.700 always been difficult to treat dramatically improved from three minutes daily and the effects

00:07:52.400 coffee shop it's like so i barely have to leave the house to get nurtured by the community 0.99
00:07:57.960 so nice and once again i never mind i never mind like we said on a recent episode
00:08:04.800 say hi oh always approach always approach folks and you know it's just the listener it's all about
00:08:14.680 the listener it's all about you if you're listening well i have some purchases to talk

00:08:23.600 i'm kind of excited about micro needling yeah because guess what my skin has been cruelly 0.92
00:08:29.760 treated for four months minimum so i'm about to go for it and go what and where you can pull you
00:08:36.980 can pull back and what are we doing okay so i've never done micro needling before which is shocking
00:08:42.460 because it's, you know, it's been, it's a, so I do it with PRP. So they draw your blood.
00:08:47.940 You say at present tense, like you've done it before. Have you done it before? I thought
00:08:50.800 this was the first time you've done PRP. First time. What is that again? Platelet rich plasma?
00:08:56.200 Could hardly tell you, but yeah, I think that's it. So they take your blood,
00:08:58.940 they put it in the centrifuge, like that, and then the red blood cells, I guess, are removed.
00:09:04.220 I don't know. But the point is then it becomes this like gel, this like liquidy, like clear-ish,
00:09:10.320 goldish thing and they rub it all over your face i was you sent me a photo and i was pretty surprised
00:09:17.120 to you were like numbing gel but i was pretty surprised that you boldly went with this blood
00:09:22.800 facial because that is what this is right yeah because it seems like you'd be like ew or like
00:09:27.780 that freaks me out or like it did freak me out but you must have been eager so i had a really
00:09:33.640 uncomfortable day of alleged healing or really gifts to the self so there's a lot to talk about
00:09:40.680 but i went to this really intense fascial release i'm very excited about getting who's also kind of
00:09:47.920 psychic and she's very tapped in it's three hours long it was really intense and then long three

00:11:14.440 wear a mask. What kind of mask? Just like a cloth mask. I think because of the burping, maybe just
00:11:18.280 like fair enough yeah and whatever but did she warn you about the burping she said it early on
00:11:23.900 but i knew that was coming because my friend like had gone i was brushing my teeth thinking

00:20:53.800 about this yeah the social dilemma here we go baby I am interested okay so being friendly as
00:21:02.580 you know I identify as a friendly person I like chatting people you know acquaintances like there
00:21:10.480 needs to be a new way okay okay so I was thinking about someone that I ran into I literally have to
00:21:14.860 my ears so this cannot be in it's it it's like in the video orgasmic in her ear it's like it's
00:21:22.060 they want like water it's like you know shower okay yeah so okay tell me again because i was
00:21:27.780 thinking about i ran i had a really nice kind of oh my god hi one of those i haven't seen you
00:21:34.220 i mean a year easily i think it was this time last i know oh nice right genuine but we don't
00:21:41.780 need to take it further we don't need to hang out right so is the term acquaintance like what do you
00:21:46.720 because until so is the answer if you go i need to pull back socially i don't need to be seeing a
00:21:52.180 lot of people you just have to be rude do you know what like you have to be like did they
00:21:56.620 did they request lunch and you don't know what to do first of all i've said it once and i'll say
00:22:01.700 before lunch in the middle of the day you know me i love lunch i mean i like it as a concept but
00:22:13.640 it's just dinner utter dinner's four hours dinner's four hours right lunch is quick I guess
00:22:19.800 what would be my ideal probably a drink like let's let's I mean just you know coffee coffee can go
00:22:28.220 long yeah I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know what the answer is I'm you know I
00:22:35.780 mean I'm pretty I'm pretty like into being like do you have to be rude to someone to get them to 0.73
00:22:41.220 get rid of them no this makes me sound like a real motherfucker and and like yeah it's like 0.96
00:22:46.880 in a way that i don't like enough friends that kind of thing lunch was offered and here's what 0.99
00:22:50.740 you're gonna say i'll tell you i mean i don't i don't know here here's what i feel here's the
00:22:54.860 dilemma i have right yeah i have dear friends who i haven't seen i mean also i've been gone
00:22:59.820 i've been gone for months i've given you this i've given you this yeah so it's like i have to
00:23:03.660 see my mother i have to see my defense my mother barely sees me well truly no but but truly like
00:23:10.400 it's like you are aware like anyone anyone asks me like think about that kate well that's almost
00:23:15.960 like bulletproof i'm like you want to know last time i got dinner with kate berlant no i know
00:23:20.240 exactly exactly i know and i'm like well no my favorite is when people people in a sweet way
00:23:25.580 have texted us together people that we like like oh let's get dinner and it's like i have to i
00:23:31.300 privately know that it's literally under no circumstance going to happen but I feel like
00:23:37.540 you've cock-blocked me in terms of like because I still need I need the options I need every
00:23:43.480 options I need every invite for the times that I'm I'm up for it so it's like because like I
00:23:48.280 don't want to miss out on the times that I'm up for it you know so it's like it's almost like
00:23:52.780 like I've had people say to me I will well yeah I told Kate we should go to dinner and she said
00:23:56.940 it'll never happen with Novak. I'm like, cool. Did you guys have a good time? Yeah.
00:24:02.800 I can only think of one person. Really? Yeah. Whatever. I don't know. But, but like, don't,
00:24:08.760 don't spread the word that I, cause also my honeymoon period. Okay. Where the social
00:24:15.320 pressure of a first, you know, whatever, where that might get me to push over the hump, you know,
00:24:22.840 It might, it might be a year and a half before they, they realize, you know, it's like, it's
00:24:27.940 like once I'm comfortable with you and think the love is established, you know, then, then
00:24:32.060 you get treated like everyone, which is like, you know, recluse.
00:24:34.760 There's a really good article about it with ADHD.
00:24:37.300 It's like the dopamine dispatch I follow in Substack.

00:27:20.720 Oh, I do love burgers so much.
00:27:23.400 But I just mean
00:27:24.200 like, I feel like you're like...
00:27:26.020 Really? I thought the last one I was talking was
00:27:27.840 Plimsoll in London. Alright, yeah.
00:27:29.980 But that was, you know, a couple months ago.
00:27:31.920 That was a couple months ago. I had two exceptionals.
00:27:33.620 It's not a once every three year. Maybe don't
00:27:35.780 go, don't book a, you know, a plane to
00:27:37.780 London on Kate's
00:27:39.980 you know recommendation for the burger because she might you should book a flight to london just
00:27:44.680 to eat the plimsel and i'm hardly being facetious um so i'm in the thing of i just want to let
00:27:53.280 everyone know i think i mentioned this last week i am coming to the end of my january through june
00:27:57.260 hobonichi congratulations okay well the last several months mostly blank um mostly blank
00:28:04.640 and actually but i'm doing something that once again the last time it was blank for a while
00:28:09.840 that is life-changing is filling it in after the fact, debrief.
00:28:14.440 It doesn't have to be, but just like, okay, so what date was that thing?
00:28:17.700 And then I'm looking at it and going like, some stuff did happen.
00:28:20.540 I didn't just, I'm not just in a permanent state of like, I did nothing.
00:28:24.300 What have I done?
00:28:25.380 I'm like, oh, oh, like, oh, right.
00:28:28.680 I don't know.
00:28:29.240 It's kind of compelling.
00:28:33.220 And the point is, yeah, maybe that's how I, maybe that's what my journal is.
00:28:38.860 You see?
00:28:39.840 I have to do some going back too.
00:28:41.920 I've completely neglected.
00:28:43.880 Yeah.
00:28:44.980 Like even if you just drop in the handwriting changes.
00:28:49.000 So interested by people who truly steady handwriting slow across the journal because,
00:28:56.180 and it's just a matter of, I'm moving at the, I'm trying to move at the speed of my own thinking, right?
00:29:01.220 It's fast.
00:29:01.540 So it's chaos.
00:29:02.120 It hurts the hand.
00:29:03.560 I don't understand, I guess.
00:29:04.700 but then just if i if i were forced to slow down literally forced like like my hand in a
00:29:10.840 thing that moved across the page at a certain kind of interesting experiment it moved it
00:29:15.300 completely metronomed right how might that slow the mind slow the thinking i grew i grew afraid
00:29:24.420 i grew afraid that that people thought our meditation was serious or like good oh my god
00:29:30.500 can you imagine how did you think that oh by the way jacqueline i ran into a woman
00:29:35.860 right maybe 60 i'm terrified she's listening and she's like i'm 49
00:29:40.700 but like and she had seen that and she doesn't even have instagram i was like how
00:29:48.000 she like saw it i was like like over the shoulder of a friend like i don't know

00:30:18.620 like people crying 1.00
00:30:19.520 like
00:30:20.100 oh my god
00:30:20.860 I know
00:30:21.780 ritual
00:30:22.800 we need the rituals I've uh I've been thinking a lot about I don't know just like I like I've
00:30:30.220 been wearing like my cousin's um slides and she has these like slides that she has like tons of
00:30:35.640 they're they're sort of like cheap cow print and they're just like around and there were some
00:30:41.360 that I just like borrowed and then have been wearing for weeks and the feeling of like the
00:30:46.860 borrowed item it does so i love the borrowed item oh it's so it it transforms it's it's
00:30:53.800 more of a borrowing like like it should be like among friends you know like i'm just so i step
00:31:00.200 out and then it it uh to walk in another shoes but like yeah she has this this um way of walking
00:31:07.620 that and way of like way of life that is connected to the way that i see her feet get into shoes
00:31:14.580 okay which is she sort of goes like okay like out the door it's like her shoes used to even
00:31:21.080 like a nice loafer like the back would get truly like crushed down yeah anyway and she's like she
00:31:26.760 would be very like let's drive to let's like get in the car and drive to whatever it'd be like we're
00:31:31.520 driving in new york city like like things that sounded really hard to me you know like the movie
00:31:36.220 is only playing it blah blah we could just get in the car and and it's like she sort of shuffles
00:31:41.140 into the shoe and so I've sort of been shuffling her slides and then stepping out into the street
00:31:47.260 and complete it's completely giving me the the acting in the role when you realize that the
00:31:54.120 effect that that has like oh if I chose to go about my day as literally anything at all other
00:32:00.240 than just completely fluid self-concept what might be done it's it's actually it actually
00:32:07.980 becomes existential instantly where you go oh no what have I why have I been defaulting why couldn't
00:32:14.740 I just pretend to be someone else the whole time like yeah like you know of course I actually had
00:32:19.840 that happen actually had that happen to me today in a way where well by the way I don't like this
00:32:24.840 and someone says imagine twice twice this person and if she listens it's fine a friend you okay
00:32:31.720 oh me no said to me oh sorry i was just something i was like you okay i was like yeah in the middle
00:32:39.000 of me off in the middle of hanging out yeah like like as if reacting to your behavior and i go
00:32:45.900 she was like you okay and i was like yeah and i felt i was like oh my being like maybe i feel
00:32:50.360 like slightly socially awkward i'm really hot we're in a big crowd like i'm wearing a big hat
00:32:54.580 like i'm a little hot i'm a little hungry i want coffee you know what i mean but i thought i was
00:32:59.160 being I'm being normal and then again she was like are you okay and I was like yeah like am I
00:33:05.020 doing like his I literally like I was like yeah and then she was like and she was like sorry she
00:33:11.320 was like maybe it's me or something I was like like maybe she's not you know I was like what
00:33:15.020 and then I actually thought of this friend of mine came to mind who is very like a known her
00:33:20.080 forever like she's very I was like how would she yeah be right now in response to that or in a big
00:33:26.720 crowd yeah or or if i seem off if i seem off maybe am i being quiet am i being not super
00:33:34.680 like i don't know and so then i thought pretend you're this person i was like pretend i'm like
00:33:40.260 how would this person have been well i guess she'd be like oh my god i haven't seen you and um
00:33:44.780 do you know like and i didn't do that but she flashed into her mind why can't i be like her
00:33:49.120 yeah be like her but are you okay pissed me you didn't dig for more I even went like this I went
00:33:56.600 I went I was like oh and then I actually found myself and it helped I kind of looked off so
00:34:00.880 she couldn't see me I went like like did a huge eye roll to the camera in the corner is this to
00:34:05.420 the camera in the corner am I okay I'm actually great what do you need from me it's weird I really
00:34:13.240 you're almost afraid to say why like why do you ask because like are you gonna love the answer
00:34:18.900 what could it be what could the answer be that you're gonna love you okay you just seem
00:34:23.280 hauntingly beautiful like are you okay no it's just it's just like it's like but it was very
00:34:30.360 it was like so you don't want to investigate so confusing because i was like what do i need
00:34:35.400 what do i need to be for you um what did i experience what did what did i experience
00:34:43.880 let's see i had a thing where i was asleep and again because i had the the fascial release

00:37:03.020 what, what, what? Yeah. How do you blink and it's over? I went, I went to a graduation at my old
00:37:09.060 high school and saw a teacher get ready for this. Was sure he'd remember me. Okay. Oh my God.
00:37:15.660 Was sure. I go, oh my God, he's here. He's like an administrator. It's me. I see him. I'm like,
00:37:20.500 I'm going to go for it. I'm going to go over there. Cause he was, he was an advisor on the
00:37:24.740 student paper and the particular paper that I worked on. And he was sort of like a writing
00:37:30.780 teacher to me basically. And I'd bring him things. And it was almost a joke. Like, like I remember I
00:37:36.500 brought him my college application essay and it was like, he starts reading it and like in the
00:37:41.120 second line, he's like, Oh no. Almost like, cause it seemed to be like another one about sex and
00:37:46.580 boys okay so it was like an ongoing joke like you know because i wrote did he see goik well this is
00:37:54.280 the joke i'm like hello okay okay i was like i am a writer and comedian not whatever i go over i was
00:38:01.740 like yeah yeah i was like so tell me exactly what happens okay i hear his name during the graduation

00:38:14.000 to make sure I can see like an updated pic that'll be able to find him after I see him I go over
00:38:18.720 I almost ask someone else is that him right and then I'm like hi I'm like you know it's I don't
00:38:26.480 know why I want to protect his identity but I do but let's just say his name was like you know
00:38:30.080 Mr. Cabbage or whatever like I'm like Mr. Cabbage yeah no but I'm like Mr. Cabbage I'm like I'm like
00:38:39.620 I'm a former student of yours, Jacqueline Novak.

00:39:00.300 And I realizing like, he's not.
00:39:02.880 Wait, what's going on in his face?
00:39:04.320 You say Jacqueline Novak, he looks at you blankly?

00:39:30.620 like i could tell him so much about him and it's amazing thing of like and the whole time he's
00:39:34.220 because he's just like oh my god i'm so sorry and i was like it was your fridge he's like i was the
00:39:38.360 advisor of the paper and i because like i just thought it was the first couple years like those
00:39:43.920 are sort of core and then and then i was like anyway i like don't want to keep you kind of thing
00:39:48.760 i was like but you had a huge impact on me whatever and then i was like so nice i was like

00:40:15.340 been like, he was like, became principal. And then, and then, you know, I forget what his
00:40:20.280 current title is, but I sent an email today because like being like, I don't, I've, I'd be
00:40:25.280 like, I was amused at how, uh, like convinced I was that you'd remember me. I was like, and it's
00:40:30.380 okay if you don't it's not about that but i still think it's fun for me to share a few memories with
00:40:34.540 you did you send him goik i didn't send it to him but i told him like so on netflix yeah you know
00:40:41.400 i did a show i was like because i told him the anecdotes of because i used to write like my
00:40:46.680 early writing was very like and i plan to bring it back okay i plan to bring the fiction back
00:40:51.620 you know what i mean like the short stories but it was very like you know like these like haunted
00:40:56.040 characters who like like this sort of like absurdity of the mundane you know like like
00:41:02.740 kind of like sort of like sexualized like like a woman like fixated on a man's like hands like
00:41:09.100 eating a donut or whatever you know like this is like my neighbor and what's going on behind my
00:41:12.840 you know just whatever so and you used to be you know like like laugh and be like oh no like because
00:41:19.040 it'd be like another piece about like sex or boys or something like that and I was like
00:41:22.420 well like you know I wrote and performed a show that got me all the way to the top I was like
00:41:27.660 the themes are the same I was like but also they include like writing and like high school education
00:41:34.260 so I'm like I really think you'd love it he's going to be crying so I it was it was it was
00:41:41.540 quite fantastic keep us posted I know I know and and gosh but the whole thing of the teachers
00:41:47.940 you know the it's it's it's a strange it's a strange not power thing but a strange status
00:41:55.700 where it's like I mean I remember I remember specific things he said about writing that were
00:42:01.180 like like one time I brought in this sort of short story and I was like it could be better
00:42:05.960 like I could have done I could have made it I could have like something like I could have done
00:42:10.480 it better I could have made it better and he's like well you couldn't have because you didn't
00:42:14.720 like you know what i mean like this is what you did like yeah and so i mentioned that to him
00:42:20.620 radical because it was kind of radical you know it was like you don't get points for 0.60
00:42:24.480 i don't know it yeah anyway huge um experience also ran into a couple hags at the graduation 0.95
00:42:31.380 that was great you're like please go recognize me in front of mr fucking cabbage 0.79

00:42:53.700 friend like sending the photos of yourself as a child like we do it to each other yeah it's like
00:42:58.700 the one it's like the one safe space because you're not like i mean i i posted you know the
00:43:02.980 captain photo on instagram i had to i was promoting the subset but you know we've talked about the
00:43:09.360 complexity of that oh it's just it's just like it's a school photo but oh yeah my outfit is
00:43:14.300 lightly nautical cute
00:43:16.380 once the temperature starts rising i realize i'm back in the same old worn out rotation
00:43:30.360 oh my old tank top my shorts same everything same everything once again and once again
00:43:38.280 so i decided to give my daily uniform an upgrade with quince their pieces are easy elevated and
00:43:45.940 somehow make me feel more put together without even trying this is completely real and it sounds

00:45:23.920 You got to get back in town for my birthday.
00:45:26.280 Oh, yeah. It's fast approaching, isn't it?
00:45:28.940 We'll see because, by the way, I'll say it once and I'll say it again.
00:45:32.740 New York. I got my eyes on you. Wow. I've been there forever. Have you still been gone since
00:45:39.060 London? Yeah. Same suitcase. Unbelievable. How many months? Four? At least. And there's a chance
00:45:45.540 I don't make it back. I mean, like before heading to Scotland. Oh, that's right. You're going to
00:45:52.740 Scotland. We'll see. I don't know. It's kind of being on the road does do a lot for me. It's
00:45:57.600 interesting so should we get into product corner where are we yeah i'll just say quickly where are
00:46:04.740 you with placemats and napkin rings because i've always been very i thought i mean are we talking
00:46:10.380 dinner parties kate or are we talking life no no talking about like we're talking about dinner
00:46:14.760 parties okay although um so i typically napkin rings now placemats to me have always been again
00:46:21.380 protestant something weird i wasn't raised with them it's strange i was gifted um a friend gave
00:46:28.040 me not like a poo gift really high quality like nice placemats like pretty placemats and then i
00:46:36.240 go let's break these out we had dinner with them and to my shock i loved it well i know you you 0.86
00:46:43.280 know believe in staining the wood and the whole thing and and fuck coasters right yeah so maybe 0.87
00:46:48.860 was sort of part of that mindset and this is a very coaster driven the friend is coaster coaster 0.89
00:46:54.080 coaster so so the value system that comes along with the placemat which is a coaster for a plate
00:47:00.140 you reject but yet the experience of just using one you enjoyed now was it the frame was it having
00:47:07.100 a frame under the plate I think yeah something about it looked pretty it made the table look
00:47:12.200 prettier sure does yeah i mean that will depend but even well i don't know if it i still i don't
00:47:19.240 know i still do think unto my head i prefer the bare table how easy are they to clean because
00:47:24.180 that's the question so they're like a woven uh so i don't know are they i think i don't think that
00:47:30.960 easy no it's not a wipe down you're not you're not running this under the sink that's another
00:47:35.020 thing about them it's like because because yeah you ever like they're not durable in that way
00:47:40.000 You're like spot cleaning from last.
00:47:41.860 Cause like, I want to be free and use it as a.
00:47:45.020 Sloppy Joe catcher.
00:47:46.480 Yeah.
00:47:46.860 Yeah.
00:47:48.540 So it's like, so, but you know, in my house, like, and at my parents' house, we always,
00:47:56.700 you know, oh, wear the placemats, have different placemats every night.
00:48:00.920 Yeah.
00:48:01.520 Just standard.
00:48:02.880 Well, this is what you.
00:48:03.820 Throw them in the washing machine.
00:48:05.880 You know, there's different ones.
00:48:06.920 It's just kind of like the woven wood, like not wood, but you know, like, you know, like
00:48:11.640 a basket fiber would be made of.
00:48:13.600 Yeah. 0.83
00:48:13.940 Yeah.
00:48:14.320 Like stiff.
00:48:15.140 That's kind of what these are.
00:48:16.060 They're pretty. 0.91
00:48:16.860 Cloth is convenient for throwing in the wash.
00:48:19.820 Mm-hmm.
00:48:20.300 Mm-hmm.
00:48:21.160 I just wonder if I'll break, I think I will break them out tonight for guests.
00:48:24.420 Oh, right.
00:48:25.020 So, so the dinner, so, so you already, so, so farmer's market actually led to, want to
00:48:31.800 come over?
00:48:32.880 Ran into a couple.
00:48:33.920 Oh my God, we have a two.
00:48:35.160 What are you doing tonight?

00:48:38.120 Why don't you come over and make dinner?
00:48:40.740 They're bringing a crumble.
00:48:42.480 And yeah, this is one of the things that, again, I say,
00:48:44.640 which is like, because you entertain people coming over.
00:48:48.160 You go, oh, I got to make a big man.
00:48:49.900 I got to make, there I'm at the farmer's market.
00:48:51.480 I decide I'm going to make an amazing salad
00:48:53.840 with tons of herbs and, you know,
00:48:56.060 amazing olive oil, awesome, amazing.
00:48:57.780 They had a fresh pasta guy, mushroom ravioli, fresh.
00:49:03.340 There's dinner, mushroom ravioli for the group.
00:49:05.480 Yeah, versus what?
00:49:06.160 like you mean like self-consciousness that you're not providing like a homemade yeah or just something
00:49:12.240 yeah to do a lion's mane steak I mean that's almost like but but specifically the ravioli
00:49:20.380 of it all feels not main enough fun no no okay that's great I go here we are fresh pasta
00:49:28.600 so just want to free everyone if you're overwhelmed with hosting get ravioli get fresh ravioli well
00:49:34.640 you know what I'm looking, looking forward to in the next five years? I don't know. I'm thinking
00:49:40.860 of, I mean, this, this will cure all my issues, right? I'm going to start hosting parties.

00:49:57.900 Yeah. Yeah. And like, great. Well, I mean, I mean, and I, I like even a spontaneous,
00:50:02.380 You haven't forgotten the strawberry daiquiris.
00:50:05.400 Naomi brought that up the other night.
00:50:07.060 They were like, that was, yeah, we were in the area.
00:50:09.280 Came by.

00:50:14.120 And then something was wrong with the seaweed.
00:50:17.240 Oh, yeah.
00:50:17.520 It was like, I thought it was toasted seaweed.
00:50:19.360 It was not.
00:50:20.560 Oh, yeah.
00:50:20.780 It was wet.
00:50:21.580 And then, yeah, you made strawberry daiquiris.
00:50:25.200 Being like, you want another?
00:50:26.680 That was great.
00:50:27.280 I had a delicious frozen drink here in New York the other night.
00:50:32.380 They say small and large, it's always tough.
00:50:34.620 I said small, it's quite sizable.
00:50:36.700 Small is never small.
00:50:37.780 And it was a lunch cocktail.

00:50:58.880 Yum.
00:51:00.040 I'm not...
00:51:00.500 Frozen Negroni.
00:51:01.360 I prefer...
00:51:02.160 Yeah, I prefer, as usual, a cocktail over a wine frozen.
