00:02:42.560 We're going to do a slow, slow progression.

00:02:45.540 I'm making a couple notes.

00:02:47.560 I'm writing medicine cabinet.

00:02:49.920 I'm writing boo.

00:02:52.340 Okay.

00:02:52.740 Well, hey, I have a note.

00:02:55.100 Can we start with a slice of life from last night of my life, which isn't really making

00:02:58.860 you laugh?

00:02:59.900 Yes.

00:03:00.180 Slice of life podcast.

00:03:01.700 It seems like a slice of life podcast, but ultimately, it's a philosophical journey into

00:03:05.460 the forests.

00:03:07.600 So I, first of all, holiday sales are here.

00:03:11.360 And I was taken to town by a holiday sale.

00:03:14.900 I just, sorry, Kate.

00:06:00.080 i'm looking at okay and it has this lace thing going up the center like that right well first

00:06:05.820 of all so it has a thing going up all the way to the the neckline right for for a listener and

00:06:39.100 and then so this is a piece of lingerie that can only be worn okay one of the turtleneck which

00:06:45.420 would be absurd right or it's the come out of the bathroom in the hotel it's come out of the

00:06:52.460 bathroom thing in the movie a little bit what now let's take a second with that is that sexual

00:06:59.200 yeah because it's it's a honey it's i know it's a bit much humiliation of yeah yeah you know it's

00:07:06.100 very a 90s movie uh you know and it's usually like the woman comes out and then is then humiliated

00:07:12.400 immediately humiliated like like like rejected or or whatever of course honey not tonight i've 0.69

00:07:18.540 got my the merger the merger's kicking my ass i actually have to get off the website because i'm 0.86

00:07:30.720 this better be made of lace from another century okay the point is just again this is a slice of

00:07:38.760 life which is last night i'm uh you know date night went out to a fun dinner i'm wearing my

00:07:44.660 agent under my cute outfit and then it's me on the couch reading about rare cancers

00:07:51.460 of course me reading about rare cancers and then being like oh my god oh my god oh my god

00:07:58.780 going down memory lane talking about my old pediatrician me going googling my old pediatrician's

00:08:04.120 office 10th street pediatrics and me going dr tardio trying to find images of my old pediatrician

00:08:08.940 finding google images of my old pediatrician office and being like memory lane naomi's like

00:08:14.520 stop yeah wondering if it holds up we're wondering if it holds i'm like that's i was like i was like

00:08:20.840 that's it that's the office like getting so i know when you did you have a moment i don't know

00:08:26.640 where you go oh my god i could look up everything yeah for my history there's probably an image

00:08:32.540 somewhere now there's a couple things when you can't find something on the internet that's a

00:08:38.200 shock yeah i know okay and there's a couple i've gone like when there's no trace you know it's

00:08:42.800 pretty interesting in in fifth grade okay they gave us this test one day and it was clearly an

00:08:49.160 initiative led by a new psychologist who had come who'd been brought to the school okay and must have

00:08:56.060 been doing her doctorate or something okay i don't know okay but this woman sort of shows up suddenly

00:09:00.560 she's part of the school's community okay and one day i feel like it was a rainy day but that could

00:09:04.880 have been projected we all take these tests that are obviously these psychological kind of

00:09:12.400 you know, whatever sort of tests and asking questions, you know, probably about our internal

00:09:18.980 state, etc. Right. And, you know, I answered, honestly, you know, I explored. Yeah. What

00:09:28.380 happens? Again, there's probably 85 kids in the class, right? A group of seven are invited to be

00:09:36.780 part of a weekly group okay that that comes in instead of recess unbelievable sits in a circle

00:09:44.660 and chairs and the psychologists grin okay and it's interesting because you go this would not

00:09:53.220 go down in the same first of all I mean they must have asked the parents but honestly did they

00:09:58.440 yeah right I'm not sure they did okay well I don't I certainly don't remember it now maybe

00:10:04.300 my parents were just like yeah you know sounds interesting right yeah because the surface kind

00:10:11.060 of narrative in the room was certainly not you guys are crazy or or you know or we need to dig

00:10:17.100 deeper with you you people right it was and i'm not saying it definitely was that it felt like

00:10:22.100 this woman's doing some kind of work part of her work is having this you know group small group

00:10:27.360 and it's like treating it like she's she's um here to like to have meaningful conversations 1.00

00:10:33.620 with us facilitate kind of a group who knows maybe she was doing a thing about the benefits

00:10:38.020 of small group with children haha right yeah and i remember a couple of the other kids in the class

00:10:43.980 you know in the group okay i remember who they were yeah and it's just interesting when you look

00:10:50.040 back and you go wait a second like what was that i try to find this woman because i want her notes

00:10:57.340 i want to read her thesis we were oh the woman yes okay what were you a part of you probably

00:11:05.080 could find out oh i have another huge thing to say well i thought i could can't find her you

00:11:10.000 you probably could through your school well that's the thing you could go deep like i'd have to call

00:11:14.420 the office and they go release the files you go release the files i think i'm in i think i'm in

00:11:19.340 a horror movie right i go i go and they're not there i know they're not there i mean so i go

00:11:25.240 how am I going to find it I mean could it have been academic point is but I remember and I knew

00:11:31.440 it was wrong at the time right so one day it's like so they go you know next time everyone come

00:11:38.720 in or it was a live question I can't remember but I vaguely feel like it was like next time I don't

00:11:44.060 know like like I had time to prepare it or something it was like share something with a

00:11:48.900 group you know that nobody would know about you like just just something the rest of the group

00:11:54.340 doesn't know about you like and to me that's a very specific prompt that's a prompt asking for

00:11:59.060 something it wasn't like sheriff on fact like like literally like the new yorker fest asking

00:12:04.840 me backstage and i was like i can stilt right like yeah i can stilt like wacky fact right i felt like

00:12:11.100 it was supposed to kind of be however they set it up the vibe was like we're in this room i'm

00:12:18.180 emotionally attuned okay i get what she she's looking for a kind of divulge and she's looking

00:12:22.200 for us to go deeper with the group and i have a sense for character detail let's get real right

00:12:30.420 and i'm able to do it about myself of course i am right so so here's what i shared i go

00:12:36.140 i really like watching the weather channel yeah yeah now when you're 10 okay and i'm like i like

00:12:44.080 to put it on like you know like hoping for a snow day and like even if like i basically was saying

00:12:49.220 like i find the weather channel comforting which and how old are you unbelievable this little genius

00:12:54.440 my daughter you know whatever fifth grade okay so cute okay i i understand like to me this is

00:13:00.280 exactly the kind of detail you know what i mean that's the dream yeah and everyone including the

00:13:06.640 teacher laughed and laughed not like not in the fun way we have a young humorist here okay

00:13:13.820 or a young sensitive whatever literally like like oh weird yeah oh my god unacceptable including

00:13:23.980 the psychologist unacceptable okay by the way that's like a group psychologist of children

00:13:33.960 okay okay who's who responds to the peer pressure of the kids they think it's funny

00:13:37.880 yeah exactly okay because she was she was isolated as a child yeah yeah she was alienated and she

00:13:43.000 finally she's doing she's in the group she's created the group of children to finally get

00:13:46.220 acceptance from a bunch of fifth graders anyway exactly oh boy a lot of them do that turn on me

00:13:50.820 a lot of these teachers are just going back to re-reparent themselves or to to to recreate and

00:13:58.040 heal the wound of childhood well mel wait what remember mel i know i've talked about this on

00:14:04.360 poop it sounds familiar my flashback no my flashback to my math tutor who would take me

00:14:09.180 up in the attic and feed me candy that was the candy fit no no so what it is so i had a tutor

00:14:17.360 and it was it must have been just like i realized now it was like oh you've done math tutoring

00:14:23.660 that's hell now you get your treat but it was a go down the hall at a literal ladder brought down

00:14:32.060 from the attic wait who's that up i go into the attic school no no no no no this guy's house

00:15:06.860 yeah there was an unbelievable plastic divider like container store thing of different kinds

00:15:11.720 of candies i can see it in my mind gummy bears the little hard candies shaped with different

00:15:15.640 fruits let me guess mel's hand goes in no i know no no or was there a scooper no scooper canister

00:15:21.060 scooper no scooper that i recall yeah this was not an industrial no no and it was sat in front

00:15:26.000 of me. And I would, and I remember, and I can see Mel at his desk, like doing little paperwork and

00:15:31.180 stuff. So he had a separate desk. There was no, there was no funny business, but it does. And I

00:15:37.180 actually should ask my mom on air about Mel. That could be fun. Yeah, definitely. And ask her,

00:15:41.620 did I tell you that he took me into the attic? Should I call her right now? Sure.

00:21:58.420 is now i go to extreme i always go extreme like when i cut the oil stain out of my friend's

00:22:04.120 sweatshirt because it was on the pocket the hoodie on the pocket in the front okay i didn't know about

00:22:09.140 and so i had her sweatshirt for like six months oil stain right on the front pocket on the hoodie

00:22:14.460 so it just makes perfect sense to me that it's like cleaner and an elegant solution to simply

00:22:18.980 cut the hole out and then would you would you replace it with nothing okay to me it was it was

00:22:23.160 just like now that now there isn't oil i'm not walking around with oil i give it back to her

00:25:18.120 i gasped at the beauty i want to be honest i want to be clear with you a single stem a single stem

00:25:25.440 of a peony and we need to i mean we'll post a picture for for the subscriber this is i don't

00:25:30.340 know that i've ever seen anything so beautiful in my life okay no no exactly i don't know how to 0.91

00:25:35.400 explain this this is these peonies each one is the size of a fucking pomelo not a grapefruit 0.92

00:25:41.160 a pomelo okay this is i guess this isn't that crazy okay that i was gonna pipe in with each 0.96

00:25:47.660 one's the size of that my mind looks for an answer no i was gonna go a grapefruit okay but

00:25:52.060 i was reaching fast yeah anyway go on anyway there's a bouquet here are three of them there

00:25:58.320 were five total on a stem if not six each one of these i have seen in a high-end flower boutique

00:26:05.180 a single stem marked at $15. I'm going to say it again. One of these, $15. One of them has $10.

00:26:12.040 You're paying for the labor. You're paying for the labor. All right.

00:26:14.200 A bouquet of five was $15. I repeat, a bouquet of five was $15. I had already checked out my

00:26:21.820 groceries and I'm walking toward, and I see out of the corner of my eye, I go, are you fucking 0.98

00:26:25.400 kidding me? I go, I had already paid. I had bags of groceries. I already paid. I went back, 0.87

00:26:31.320 I doubled back for the bouquet. And then I had a beautiful transcendent moment of community.

00:26:35.020 i was in the you're gonna go you can't believe it can you believe it i i've seen a single stem

00:26:40.480 i'm sorry i was loading my groceries into the trunk of my car i'm holding the bouquet i i make

00:26:46.480 the i make the effort the dream to um i didn't want to be away from them i did all my groceries

00:26:51.860 and then i hold them as i as i do the cart return because it was just so fun to be out to be holding

00:26:56.600 them yeah of course so then i and then i go oh but moments before that the order is important i think

00:27:00.860 i was unloading them they're sticking out of the the grocery cart a woman drives by probably my age

00:27:06.440 rolls down her window those are the most beautiful flowers i almost start crying i and i go and i go

00:27:13.240 can you believe it i go 15 bucks i go there's an there's one bouquet left in the store i almost got

00:27:18.000 it but go get it we have a laugh i go oh my she didn't stop right she didn't go i'm gonna park

00:27:24.380 right now no no she i don't know if she was coming or going i'm just imagining no no imagine it was

00:27:28.560 me and we never met okay and i go you know what i'm part of right now and then we cackle and then

00:27:34.120 i go it would be worth it i'm going in and then i go sorry i would go in can i have your number

00:27:38.080 just imagine imagine i'm just sorry fantasy of us meeting that way i had a fantasy of finding her

00:27:43.920 but that that was absolutely beautiful and then and i said and then there is no and then but that's

00:27:49.680 but just the peonies the whole food so i mean this is you could live a hundred years and not get a

00:27:53.500 deal like this and then and then and then and then no but it's fair i just want to break in

00:27:58.400 even though then it's fair it's you're you're you're holding space because i couldn't i can 0.80

00:28:40.340 deeply rooted into the center of the earth the air dry are you doing that through intentionality

00:28:45.480 or yes i'm in food practices are you grounding morning noon and night oh well i'm not actually

00:28:52.020 grounding i just meant through intentionality or shooting down from the first chakra deep into

00:28:57.180 mother earth do you ever think about say your house like what's below it yeah well i rent or

00:29:05.780 like i'm joking i mean i do but isn't it weird your house isn't on the ground it's on a what

00:29:10.780 foundation yeah like you're supposedly as a child when you draw a house the house is just flat on

00:29:17.020 the ground is it oh right but my house right now i'm on the ground but i'm not on the ground

00:29:21.840 because because what do you mean because you're you're a recessed cabinet yeah well there's like

00:29:57.000 I was texting you.

00:29:58.040 I had a full-blown, not full-blown, but I had an anxiety.

00:30:01.840 Oh, yeah.

00:30:03.360 I went to get, by the way, the optometrist hasn't texted me back.

00:30:08.120 I have a very kind of.

00:30:09.860 How'd you get that number?

00:30:10.880 Not very intimate, but I have a strong relationship with a local optometrist.

00:30:14.820 Yeah, eavesdroppers are not surprised.

00:30:17.800 I know.

00:30:18.440 How do you get the direct numbers?

00:30:35.420 and i texted you this i was like it medical it is impossible to get appointments it took me

00:30:47.380 they go oh we don't have the referral i'm talking to my doctor my doctor goes that's not that's

00:30:50.920 impossible. I'm looking right here. I sent it last Thursday. We don't have it yet. Sometimes

00:30:55.160 it takes a second. Was it fax? Yeah, fax or emails. And then the guy on the line, this was

00:31:02.040 my third call in to confirm that they got it. He goes, yeah, we still don't have it. And I go,

00:31:06.540 God, you know, I'm just really frustrated. I don't understand because she says you sent it

00:31:10.060 last Thursday. He goes, well, there's one person, take a second with this. Well, there's one person

00:31:15.000 who receives all the referrals. So it can take a few days for them to get, I go,

00:31:20.920 Are you kidding me?

00:31:22.320 They're kept in a clock tower.

00:31:24.200 Yeah, exactly.

00:31:26.720 Exactly.

00:31:27.480 The fax goes up the tower.

00:31:32.360 And so I'm like, and I kind of laughed.

00:31:34.500 I go, one person.

00:39:26.880 at them she's like yeah your eyes look your eyes look totally fine like she goes and then she's 0.97

00:39:31.740 like why were you wait just realize something why were you getting an eye exam based on nothing

00:39:35.760 you don't wear glasses you don't have any like right yeah i'm not questioning it i'm just trying

00:39:40.560 understand different levels of anxiety and like um wait wait so so so just just because you you

00:39:47.180 don't you don't wear contacts you don't have glasses right we know i have glasses i have

00:39:50.620 glasses i have distance glasses but i'm due for a new oh right i can see them i remember you picking

00:39:55.400 me up driving them it was like it felt very like i don't know why like julia louis dreyfus like

00:40:01.120 in curb your enthusiasm you like in a car sometimes like los angeles you know yeah wait that reminds

00:40:06.400 me there was something i was dying to tell you about whole foods oh no i know i know what it was

00:40:10.980 why go to the doctor when you can just get a photograph blown up of your iris at the grove

00:40:17.140 in the farm you know like that whole thing now like you can get a you can get a 18 by 36 framed

00:40:23.540 portrait of your iris they've been popping up it's like family it's like finally portraits

00:40:28.840 of like the eyes it's very odd but um the the point is oh but then she goes the doctor she goes

00:40:36.820 do you ever see you get you ever see floaters i go well this is the classic thing i'm like well

00:40:41.760 i mean in my life sure i've seen a floater like what i'm like not constantly not every day she

00:40:46.680 goes yeah yeah that's okay you know a certain amount of floaters is normal she goes you ever

00:40:49.660 see do you ever see bright flashing lights i go uh no i go to the movies of course i go well now

00:40:55.660 i'm gonna sweetheart she's like she and she's like yeah it's this thing of doctors just sometimes

00:41:01.360 i'm like what are you doing why are you talking like you mean like get a get a psych degree before 0.68

00:41:06.340 you become a gp get a fucking psych degree well a hundred percent how like and she's like and then 0.93

00:41:14.600 she's like yeah if you ever see bright flashing lights go to like the doctor immediately i was 0.99

00:41:20.940 like well sure again based on i go and i go bright flashing light i was like i would know if i saw

00:41:26.520 bright flashing light i was like i assume it's dramatic she goes she was like yeah like almost

00:41:29.880 like fireworks on the periphery she goes that could mean your retina's detached i go okay cool

00:41:34.120 well i feel like something's being left out here okay and i like and it's fine right but it's like

00:41:40.540 like for for absolute clarity yes yes yes how do you get into a situation of well that means your

00:41:47.560 retina is detached okay when you are you am are you hiding something no no why did you go to the

00:41:54.560 eye doctor just the standard checkup but you said i want you to go deeper do you understand what's

00:42:00.300 confusing a few standard checkups well okay wait what do you mean no no she didn't go deeper she

00:42:05.620 didn't go deeper she did the most preliminary this wasn't like my okay i don't know anything

00:42:10.180 about i don't wear glasses whatever right so i don't know how it works wow you're 20 20 i guess

00:42:15.020 so okay so my idea is that these people you're not in phone right you're just thinking no no

00:42:22.960 literally was looking at literally detritus on the table yeah oh yeah that's what it is sometimes

00:42:26.980 okay okay so so i'm not frozen you're not frozen okay okay oh i think i need some new glasses or

00:42:35.520 oh i gotta get my eyes check it again check check the vision whatever okay yeah um you go i even

00:42:41.680 thought they kind of did that maybe at the glasses store or something and then yeah but but to just

00:42:46.680 go say i should get my eyes checked oh okay okay i guess i guess this is what i'm not understanding

00:42:51.820 okay no you're right i'm concealing something because it's too devastating because i've never

00:42:55.620 talked about the podcast that my dad lost his vision last summer okay here we go because it's

00:42:59.320 like alzheimer's yeah how much worse could it get well you could go blind right right right within a

00:43:04.340 week so it's like and so i even though that's pre-existing conditions whatever we don't know

00:43:11.160 what happened he couldn't really thank you for sharing sorry yes but for him it's different

00:43:15.780 because he has alzheimer's he couldn't communicate the way if you and i if something was going on 0.97

00:43:20.260 with our vision we would be like what the fuck is this shit but he you know yeah didn't talk about 0.99

00:43:26.660 it and so um but that of course has and even though pre-existing conditions we don't know 0.99

00:43:31.480 and it kind of remains a mystery but it's like optic nerve failure and so i of course

00:43:36.280 I'm sitting here going great well am I going to go blind in a week or whatever so I I wanted to

00:43:42.180 quell medical anxiety here we go got it got it so I went in and then it's strange because I'm

00:43:47.300 and then I remember yeah so I I just wanted I needed someone to look at my optic nerve and go

00:43:51.940 you're okay or oh actually there's something here that's genetic and we need to keep an eye on it

00:43:56.140 whatever so that's why that's why I'm going because by the way I'm the youngest person at

00:44:01.780 the eye when i went into the eye clinic which is gorgeous in pasadena it is a huge it's a

00:44:06.720 community college it's on a beautiful campus it's like this is a gorgeous campus doheny eye center

00:44:12.160 i took a picture because i was like this is this unbelievable and i go in there everyone's 160

00:44:17.300 and there's me in there even so the technician i actually found this to be a little bit like maybe

00:44:22.100 you shouldn't say that because i told him i was nervous oh i didn't take a picture i thought i

00:44:26.260 had and he goes he goes yeah who likes being at the doctor or whatever and then he's taking the

00:44:31.260 picture of my eyes and then he says are you what what was the language he used like are you having

00:44:36.880 symptoms like he asked me like basically like is something wrong with your vision and i was like

00:44:40.600 no i'm just getting a checkup and he was like oh okay good and i was like but then here's what

00:44:46.440 this anything a technician says in a medical setting can be read so because i go well does

00:44:50.840 he see something weird they're wondering why the hell you're there kate

00:44:53.980 it's like it's so obvious like you're like it's like in the same way that i'm going something's 0.50

00:45:04.060 missing here what's going on okay yeah yeah yeah are you having symptoms they're waiting for why 0.82

00:45:09.460 the fuck you're in for that kind of appointment why someone's got an instrument okay most people 0.97

00:45:15.020 don't get checked i mean it's hysterical first of all because medically as i go and then don't 1.00

00:45:18.880 like the procedure and say, can we not? Can we not? I think I'm okay. Which, you know, great.

00:45:24.660 I was relieved. I didn't have to go. But by the way, I was laughing because I was like,

00:45:28.780 I go in there, the nurse, she's like, so what's going on? I'm like, well, nothing. I was like,

00:45:32.320 I have distance glasses, reading glasses, but I don't need them, need them. But yes, I wear

00:45:36.980 glasses. Did you say I'm here because technically I'm freaked out because then I said, so then I

00:45:42.960 go, yes, I go my dad, you know, and then I kind of was like, no one's giving me any sympathy. 0.90

00:45:47.880 the doctor too nothing i go how about a god that sounds hard how about a holy shit i'm sorry you 0.99

00:45:54.960 know how about a you know how about how about a hand to the chest you fucking animals people are 0.99

00:46:00.280 they were just they were they were too focused on they're just staring at me yeah it was just 0.99

00:46:05.680 staring like they were too focused on whether or not you're up you're they're still trying to hunt

00:46:10.640 for why does she think did there's still I believe they're still asking why is she here

00:46:17.360 totally totally they're still searching okay that's what's crazy is that the medical setting

00:46:21.760 nothing gives me more anxiety and nothing makes me feel safer so much so that then last night I'm

00:46:26.880 you know I'm in laundry looking at my childhood pediatrician office going oh my god there it is

00:46:32.120 I remember the those are the toys I played with right loving it yes so anyway but I walk out

00:46:37.660 so happy because i go my optic nerve's okay and then i but then i'm in this thing with my

00:46:43.140 optometrist a local optometrist and silver leg lover cindy shout out and uh but i go to warby

00:46:50.100 parker because i want blue light blocking glasses okay of course and then i and then they go warby

00:46:55.200 parker is like well we can give you an eye test or they go well can we call in we can get the blue

00:46:59.700 light with your distance prescription in these i go well that's great they go well let's call over

00:47:04.840 your prescription i start to get oh no cindy's gonna think i'm being a traitor

00:47:08.340 small because i get my glasses through her small mom pa shop optometrist suddenly warby parker's

00:47:13.160 calling we need to get this transferred over here yeah this is like this is um you know life uh life

00:47:18.260 this is six feet under the the big corporation undertakers this is um oh my god i can't think

00:47:23.760 of cromer not cromer i know i'm humiliated um yeah uh yeah no no cromer cromer it's cromer yeah

00:47:29.660 yeah yeah so then you have to go i'm selling a cromer and then and then uh on the jet with

00:47:37.280 the margaritas yeah and um best show ever made and then so then i say to the woman at warby parker

00:47:44.040 and she thinks i'm being i'm kooky at this point because i go can you tell her that this is just

00:47:47.960 a one-time thing that i'm just getting the warby parker blockers and she kind of laughs she's like

00:47:52.720 oh i mean i'm sure it's fine this happens all the time i go yeah yeah but you know it's a small

00:47:55.920 mom pa shop she's gonna think i'm so then the point is so i'm worried about she's gonna think

00:48:01.000 i'm a traitor and then i get i get a text from her and she's like hey where we parker just called

00:48:05.100 like you're actually due for a new eye test so that's what i go okay i need to get my vision

00:48:09.080 because my vision is unfortunately degrading not in a horrifying way but just meaning like

00:48:16.320 yeah isn't that what it does faces are a little blurry yeah like i'm looking across the room kind

00:48:21.560 of swinting at a restaurant who's that are they looking at me like i think it i think it's also

00:48:24.960 made me be rude a couple times i don't recognize someone because they're across the room i see a

00:48:29.680 shot i see like they're pixelated as usual so to speak yeah they're pixelated and billboards

00:48:35.020 like i i think i'm anyway whatever the point is well i just had that moment where billboards i

00:48:42.580 didn't hear it you know okay i was like bill boards bill i see bill boards across the room

00:48:48.380 i don't recognize him he boards the airplane he goes it's me bill bill boards

00:48:52.660 because this is actually relevant because distance your glasses are distance glasses

00:48:58.180 so are they only needed when what driving correct socializing movies seeing the play no i wear them

00:49:03.560 when i'm seeing plays when i'm seeing movies when i'm driving but not always but driving at night

00:49:08.500 for sure i like to make sure i have them i can drive without them see this is what's interesting

00:49:12.780 it's almost like not the blue light scenarios that you need to protect from no these are blue

00:49:20.760 light with prescription no i know i mean like okay you know like blue light good and natural

00:49:27.340 during the day you know at night you know the rhythm right sure circadian so if your glasses

00:49:36.800 that you're using while on your phone computer at home watching tv were blue blue blocking never

00:49:41.940 happening i only i never i right the blue blockers i was so why do you need the it's almost like why

00:49:48.940 do you need blue light protection in your distance glasses for watching tv in your distance glasses 0.98

00:49:54.080 no no no that's a real oh my god she did it she did it you're right fuck you're right if i'm 0.93

00:50:01.720 watching tv which you're not doing blockers on or i'm scrolling on my phone you're right they only 0.98

00:50:07.640 need to be blue block it's kind of interesting too late no it's not too late because i haven't

00:50:11.560 done it you start going you start going to the um the drive-in movie theater to legitimize your

00:50:17.080 purchase well by the way i've always wanted to do this i mean i've you know drive two hours to

00:50:24.540 well the the i well i'm gonna go in for the vision and because even yesterday they did a

00:50:28.820 little vision test like you know read the letters and i'm like i think i got them i think i nailed

00:50:33.200 them but you're afraid you cheated i'm like f-p-r-t-q i'm like was it was it a q or was it

00:50:38.660 an o huge question or was it an o yeah tell me now was it here's a huge question do they mix

00:50:45.500 those up so that different dentist, I mean, sorry, different doctor's office, you can memorize in a

00:50:51.000 second. You can cheat. Absolutely. Or what if your subconscious remembers? Well, that's what's so

00:50:54.380 scary about so many of these medical tests. Cause like I saw the O and I think I see a hint at the

00:50:59.100 bottom. I go, is it a Q? There it is. Did I see a Q? No, I just, I saw an O and I intuited. Or did

00:51:05.860 you did a piece of rice go flying from somebody's macrobiotic bowl and lay it on the O.

00:51:15.140 Okay. And you go Q and then it falls. Yeah. Are they keeping it clean? I've brought this up

00:51:22.240 before, but like, how do you feel about mom and popism in the doctor setting? So by which I mean

00:51:28.980 a post-it attached to a medical device. Okay. That's obviously not coming down from corporate

00:51:34.780 or whatever that's obviously not coming down from the top this is like someone who works in that

00:51:38.400 office yeah decided like hey like do you know what i mean there's a strange yeah god the things

00:52:39.000 sweetie. Too high sugar content. They were right. Okay. But I'm still an innovator.

00:52:43.400 It's still a great idea. I'm still an innovator. I learn, I learn, I like to learn by making the

00:52:48.500 mistakes myself. The true learning, know your way around the contours of an error.
