00:13:13.320I'm very interested okay great so the question of magic and by the way I want to say I'm already
00:13:20.880kind of changing my tune I think I also was having a strong reaction to the men performing the magic
00:13:25.040well because guess what oh my god that's what it is there is no magic in a man that and also
00:13:31.640there's no they weren't give me a show the show can't just be what's happening in your hands
00:13:38.040and it falls into this very familiar language which is part of why magic is so comforting right
00:13:42.220here it is oh no it's not gonna be that all right like the musicality of it my eyes cross i go numb
00:13:47.200it there's no individual there i think that's what it is there's no i would imagine because
00:13:53.060i don't know the world of magic but of course there are magicians who have incredible style
00:13:57.020and their tricks are so their own that the tradesmen but versus the artist and this
00:14:04.300happens in all mediums yeah i'm like well where are you sir yeah you're like where's johnny or
00:14:10.960whatever what's your spin on it's like to me at this point whatever card magic yeah close magic
00:14:17.380whatever the fuck but specifically the cards cards i just it's like after we've seen after we've seen
00:14:23.260one million magic tricks in which a card is unexpectedly produced or something that seemed0.94
00:14:28.740impossible they were able to do it's almost like we know they know how to like i'm not gonna i'm
00:14:33.780not dazzled by a card trick like in order to be dazzled by a card trick like yeah like a piece of
00:14:38.560human flesh would have to emerge from the center of it. You know, like, like if the card trick
00:14:42.620literally ends with, and it was the two of diamonds, what are we, what are we even doing?
00:14:48.080Oh yeah, absolutely. Unless there's a page of my diary suddenly appearing in the deck of cards.
00:14:52.880It's nothing. Now, have you seen Justin Willman? Because honestly, he's doing some interesting
00:15:00.120work. Very interesting work. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I have, I know exactly what you're talking
00:15:04.320about nice guy doing some stunning things where he pulls like a but but but here's the thing here's
00:15:10.500the thing because to me there's always been a kind of close correlation between you know the
00:15:16.820pursuit of stand-up which is utterly crass okay utterly crass utterly tradesman utterly get it
00:15:21.780done you know it's it's the same it's like if the magician like you better get we better hear oohs
00:15:25.420and ahs right like i'm a self-hating magician i'm realizing it's like you're right there's a
00:15:30.700connection yes it's the manager in the back or the person who hired for the party saying i'm not
00:15:35.600hearing oohs and ahs yeah okay i'm not hearing laughs go over by the taco stand get them as
00:15:40.800they're coming off the taco stand yeah and get it done now of course i want to know you know and
00:15:45.340this is also the fantasy of being the ideal consumer of the product where you get it and
00:15:49.360the others don't where you roll over to the taco stand and go look i enjoyed the card tricks over0.95
00:15:53.420there and so did the other assholes here tell me what you're working on in there yeah show me0.93
00:15:57.900were gonna it's not ready they say okay it's not ready i don't care okay now actually i'd respect0.94
00:16:04.100that if magic trick isn't ready they they kind of well and here here's what i'd say is there any
00:16:08.500element like don't show it to me if it's going to reveal the secrets but if there's any element
00:16:12.500that will have a hint of the way that you're going to dazzle me let me see it or whatever
00:16:16.220i agree the point is there's an artist there are artists right who are trying to find their way and
00:16:21.360i think there are avant-garde magicians who i mean it's it's the classic thing master the form
00:16:28.040in order to subvert it break it apart folks yeah yeah completely you know i also would be irritated
00:16:35.500by sort of the avant-garde magician who couldn't you know couldn't pull you to a diamonds and and
00:16:42.780and also wasn't stunning you in this other way it's like anti-comedy like it's like anti-magic
00:16:49.640you know this is i hate to i cannot speak of comedy as hell no no i know you're not you're
00:16:53.980not speaking of comedy you know because it also feels sleazy and it feels like a pickup particularly
00:16:57.900at a bar i always hate it when like this guy like a sort of sharply dressed man suddenly says like
00:17:02.560you have a dollar you have a dollar like why can i see it for a second you know and then you're
00:17:07.780like oh jesus i'm talking to a magician and he's been selling me for the last five minutes do you
00:17:11.660remember did it ever happen to you you have great hair no what is that scam that street scam that
00:17:17.820park scam it's this it's where they sell you these salon deals this is this major actually
00:17:24.280i can't believe we've never discussed it wait i think someone once wait wait remind me i think
00:17:27.960someone once said this to me it feels familiar go wait wait wait wait someone sort of befriends you
00:17:33.960casually what happened on college campuses this totally happened to me in washington square park
00:17:38.020it happened in new york that's exactly okay where well no i was picturing union square okay that but
00:17:44.080Yes. Okay. They roll up, they start a conversation, like they're just friendly, whatever. Like they distinctly try to, you know, buddy up as though the moment that they reveal they're a salesman, you're going to, the buddying up that worked before is that you're going to think is like, as though that's going to work. You know what I mean? Like as though you're not going to immediately go. So what you just did was disgusting and deceiving me. So they eventually get around to you have amazing hair. Right. Okay. Which is an odd sort of thing, the way they were saying it, you know?
00:18:14.080it just was like what and then well I actually happened to um I'm a partner of this with this
00:18:19.960salon and they're actually there's an insane deal that I am privileged to be able to offer
00:18:25.580certain people because you know we want to get cool girls like you oh no in our place or whatever
00:18:31.300and then they're like so it's a haircut a deep condition you know and then two other things and0.92
00:18:37.500they're like and it's only whatever the fuck I don't remember okay you know a deal of some kind
00:18:42.920and we just need your credit card right now okay and and by the way it's not even well i'm sure0.81
00:18:48.360some are it's not even a scam okay i think i did it once like in college like i was like let's go
00:18:52.440get the service it wasn't like stealing your credit card information it's just a deal it's
00:18:55.460just a bizarre salon thing that was huge and it's probably still going very weird that's a memory i
00:19:03.560had very deeply but i do remember not being approached on a bench in washington square
00:19:07.400park about i remember a guy went so far as to buy a on a college campus buy a ticket to the show i
00:19:13.300was in you know like in the quad selling tickets behind a folding table kind of thing like and he
00:19:18.900went so far as to like inquire about it and decide to purchase a ticket for saturday night yeah all
00:19:24.880in order to then reveal he was trying to sell me a package that's like next level wow he's willing
00:19:32.540to buy the $5 ticket to hopefully make the...
00:46:34.040There's no response yet. Okay. Okay. I'll check it tonight. I'm, you know, off Instagram.
00:46:37.980Stretching the skin freaks me out.1.00
00:46:39.980Extremely. But, but then, but then people have asked that of the kosher woman and she says,
00:46:44.160no, you know, that, that increases blood flow that I'm just.0.94
00:46:47.780I'm in the mood to gua sha. I haven't gua sha'd in 4,000 years.
00:46:50.260You can watch her do a lot of gua sha, but here's the concern. Okay. Here's the concern. So back with the whole fascia blasting thing, which is deeply controversial. There was a little tiny one. Yeah. There was a little tiny one that was the face blaster.
00:47:05.440I didn't know it was controversial. Why? Well, some people like say it's like ruined their life and their body. No. Yeah. And and like there's differing opinions on why her whole model that made so much sense. It's so appealing as a concept. And I saw the book in the airport was it's not fat. It's fascia. And it was it was saying that cellulite, you know, it's not. Oh, you have this fat that, you know, is this gross fat. Fuck you. It's normal fat. But then the fascia, the connective tissue is like pressing down on it,
00:47:35.240creating the like wrinkled appearance and so it's like you need to loosen up your fascia fascia gets
00:47:40.200tight due to you know restricted movement and and whatever i want to hear about people's lives
00:47:44.680being ruined by blasting their fascia so so then somewhat so then you you blast at your fascia with
00:47:49.840this this massage tool essentially and you go go go you you know you massage these areas and that's
00:47:56.480in theory is softening up the fascia and then the appearance of the fat is laying more smoothly okay
00:48:01.840others are saying that's not why you're getting a smooth appearance you're getting a smooth
00:48:06.800appearance due to um inflammation or due to swelling the natural swelling of brutalizing
00:48:12.620that makes sense and a lot of times you come out of the facial and it's like look how plump you are
00:48:16.280and it's like well because you just brutalized my face this is the plumpness of right right of
00:48:21.160injury right so so then these other people there's facebook groups it's like whatever and then the
00:48:26.280facebook groups being like she's deleting my comments you know like okay like people like
00:48:30.420there's like entire facebook groups that are like against it and like trying to like spread the
00:48:33.500message of being against it there's this whole thing about so one of the promises it's evolved
00:48:37.580okay the promises as she's gone and one of the promises is like that if you fascia blast areas
00:48:44.560of fat you will actually also reduce fat okay and the reason is and this boy is that appealing
00:48:50.660the idea of just being able to slough fat off with a with a massage device yeah just raking
00:48:55.600okay at your at your love handle okay and so doing this you know with oil and the idea is that this
00:49:03.420this trauma essentially to the the fat cells turns them from the whatever the white fat cells into
00:49:09.080the brown fat cells okay it like it kills them essentially and they they you know they deflate
00:49:14.460and leave so so now it's like literally like blast away your fat is like what is the promise0.99
00:49:18.940which is you know and what some of these women are saying is not even that it doesn't work they're
00:49:24.300saying it works but losing fat in that way releases all the hormones that are you know like0.96
00:49:30.820fat is filled with hormones i guess something like this i don't know so it's like fucking up0.99
00:49:36.060their fucking hormonal systems oh shit and then you go okay we're out hormones by the way haven't1.00
00:49:41.660even scratched the surface because my eyes immediately cross yeah like hormone stuff1.00
00:49:46.680jesus by the way do you know what a hormone is because i don't well exactly um because there's
00:49:51.220something that's i've never heard anyone no yeah no one's well unfortunately i think i think that0.78
00:49:56.400there's does the brain produce them doesn't all that shit come from like uh well what isn't that0.86
00:50:01.940all like endocrine so where is that but endocrine's what like the thyroid oh thyroid yeah glands0.91
00:50:09.020there it is pituitary i mean they're all connected of course i glans oh i um i can't know i massage
00:50:16.140my um sternocleidomastoid muscle the superficial is the point of submission
00:50:21.500well i've been doing it and because i keep feeling this little bump
00:50:26.800or band on the muscle i'm convinced that everything lies in that band
00:50:30.280and so i've been massaging it and then the next morning at breakfast chris says it looks like you
00:50:36.760have a hickey on your neck like what did you do and and i was like oh no like what have i done
00:50:43.520you know like through my massaging and i look i'm looking in the mirror and i go i we're at
00:50:47.660breakfast so i go you know i'm gonna massage the part that it's at and see because he's like it
00:50:51.540looks like i see your fingernail like it's like a fingernail print like it clearly sees like your
00:50:56.100two fingers and i immediately assumed a demon in the night first of all really yeah because you
00:51:01.720know in horror movies and stuff strangling you see the hand print in the morning the bruise
00:51:06.280right they go right for the so so i'm going oh god okay but i'm going it's probably me
00:51:12.320massage my neck why wouldn't it be I go I can't see myself so I go I'm gonna massage the part
00:51:17.060that feels like the part that I have an issue with I go yeah he goes yeah it is exactly where
00:51:21.340it is the fingers are exactly on the spot I go it's horrifying I've gone too far I go back
00:51:26.920I'm in the bathroom like an hour later glance in the mirror to check it out I go hmm I took a
00:51:33.380cloth I wiped it off it was it was coffee it was it was coffee from my fingers
00:51:37.240wow by the way i panicked about a mole that appeared the other day right oh yeah you sent
00:51:44.080me a photograph of it suddenly i'm not seeing it maybe that was a little java as well yeah
00:51:48.860and i'm not one of these mole you know i'm i'm well frankly i'm concerned and by the way0.68
00:51:56.880listeners need to understand the reason that i am fucking steamrolling more than usual0.64
00:52:02.800is because Kate has explicitly expressed that she's tired0.94
