00:01:12.100 hello i just want to say hello hi it's an honor to see you my dear friend i have this new obsession

00:01:17.320 like medical obsession that something's wrong with my left eye and i had i had a dream i was

00:01:21.880 having a little eye pain and then i had a dream that my left eye was like medically wrong like 0.62

00:01:26.260 fucked up big bulging like popping out and so now of course i'm living with that well i have an 0.62

00:01:32.260 eye question of something else when you i remember since it's true actually those are texts we should 0.97

00:01:36.820 bring up it in your bones okay so two things two things i know and i'm not going to talk about

00:01:41.720 aliens this time because i actually need to move away from it because i watched so many alien

00:01:45.580 videos this weekend oh really that i i need to move away but interesting i but here's one of the

00:01:51.860 things that happened to me i so after i had fully accepted and aliens and i was like yeah like

00:01:57.300 without fear i've accepted yeah but i had this like debilitating is too strong a word but extreme

00:02:04.380 fatigue like i felt tired remember like in my bones it was so some of them came for you kind

00:02:09.660 of so so i felt so tired so it's a walk that i do all the time and i i mean you didn't bring i would

00:02:14.980 gone down that path with the Lyme disease one I was trying to cut off at the well I felt Lyme

00:02:20.660 disease is like I'm more afraid of Lyme disease than death yeah and like I felt there's this loop

00:02:27.580 there's this walk I do whatever I'm never like exhausted by it and I got to the halfway point 0.98

00:02:32.720 and I go I have to fucking sit down I sat on a park bench I go what the fuck is this I felt 0.98

00:02:37.660 exhaustion in my blood in my bones right and and the previous week I had a little bit of pain right 0.99

00:02:43.300 here in my head and even to the point where i was like is there a bite here or something like

00:02:47.400 something and i was like what if a tick burrowed in my scalp and then now it's you know something

00:02:52.040 horrible yeah and so then i felt so tired and then i'll and then i was like what if it was an

00:02:57.220 alien probe and uh well because no but but then i watched something i watched a video of goldie

00:03:03.260 hahn i watched i watched a clip of goldie hahn talking about when she was abducted by aliens

00:03:07.800 and she got like so exhausted wait i didn't know that happened to goldie hahn yeah 1.00

00:03:11.760 shit yeah something like like abduction adjacent you know i would say like actresses aliens if 0.92

00:03:19.240 you're an actress your chances of being abducted by an alien is much higher because you're open 0.99

00:03:23.440 and you're like so you mean an actress even who's still at tish yeah if you're doing the

00:03:29.860 meditation celebrity calls them in no no you have to be a celebrity if they were smart they'd go

00:03:35.300 straight to the celebs the celebs although i think sometimes you know it's that cliche of

00:03:40.060 the Hollywood kook you know yeah yeah totally um whereas and sort of like Hollywood yeah but if 0.88

00:03:45.020 it's like reality being like bullshit or something but I've got the local sheriffs going I saw it 0.75

00:03:50.520 oh yeah I just know but but I do think it's just separate theory which is 0.97

00:03:54.940 I mean maybe calling theories a bit much but you know some you know the old like oh the Hollywood

00:04:01.920 and they get they get into they get into the spiritual whatever and it's like I think it's

00:04:06.500 like to survive the public eye yeah you oh you have you have to yeah you have to find something

00:04:12.900 other than your personality and your public persona and your body you have to locate the

00:04:17.000 self elsewhere and fast yeah you'll be burned up in the gaze of the public totally and so they go

00:04:22.540 there and uh the public pushed them there um anyway but i thought anyway i just was having

00:04:28.740 the exhaustion and i was like of course getting worried and i texted you yeah because i was

00:04:33.560 googling in the park i sat on the park bench i was googling and had you spent any time in uh in the

00:04:38.540 woods no i had been in oh hi i had gone on a hike is that um a tick central because i mean i think

00:04:44.800 growing up for me ticks are an east coast thing typically but like i actually grew up in a tick

00:04:49.180 i know i think they exist and i had a memory of being takes off all the time oh i had a memory

00:04:53.980 of being on the east coast with my best friend at the time maybe six years old she was like a

00:04:58.040 little blonde girl a little younger a little smaller than me and her carrying me through grass 0.59

00:05:02.880 because I was so worried about the tics.

00:05:05.340 Yeah, that's interesting.

00:05:06.260 I just remembered that.

00:05:07.520 To be a nervous child.

00:05:09.360 I also sent you a photo of me.

00:05:12.040 Never mind.

00:05:12.440 Okay.

00:05:12.800 But anyway, the point is I felt the exhaustion that night.

00:05:16.760 I went out for, I had a great cheeseburger, french fries,

00:05:20.680 and margarita meal at Lowboy in Echo Park.

00:05:23.980 Right.

00:05:24.440 Took a long walk home with my partner.

00:05:26.940 Healed.

00:05:27.960 Yeah.

00:05:28.220 well you also had had uh unusually not eaten your breakfast no i had eaten breakfast to acknowledge

00:05:35.500 no i had eaten you told me you hadn't you said i swear it's not that oh and i go you're right

00:05:40.880 that is unusual because i'm always breakfast and then i go and let me guess when did you have

00:05:44.160 dinner last night six okay silence silence because yeah you know totally it was you wanted to you

00:05:53.260 know something and you needed to be in a medical that's so funny okay so silence then she doesn't

00:05:57.820 get back to this is my because i really do always eat breakfast this morning was so fast out the

00:06:01.980 door i reached for koya elite koya has yet to send a single bottle to my home they've never sent

00:06:08.320 despite the constant advertising 32 grams of protein not too bad i mean you're not protein

00:06:17.540 deficient. You've bought the line. Anyway, the point is, I was not abducted. But countdown,

00:06:29.340 I think we should do major hag group screenings of Disclosure Day when it comes out.

00:06:33.640 Okay, I saw a billboard. And I go, wait, what? So what is that?

00:06:38.680 It's the new Spielberg.

00:06:40.200 Oh, right. But fiction. I mean, you know what I mean?

00:06:43.560 Maybe.

00:06:45.480 No, no, I, Emily Blunt, Best Actress Academy Award.

00:06:51.720 For this?

00:06:52.480 Just generally.

00:06:53.880 Oh.

00:06:54.280 Yeah.

00:06:54.940 But she's in this, is what you're saying.

00:07:03.500 I want to go big.

00:07:04.560 Now, but here's a really important question.

00:07:07.100 Was it, and I feel like Spielberg doesn't do this, so it wasn't created for IMAX.

00:07:12.780 oh very good question so like it's just blasting it and dragging right right right screen that was

00:07:18.600 meant to be viewed as a rectangle before you dragging them right you're right huge distortion

00:07:23.360 that's funny maybe yeah maybe it's a man's chinese i think man's chinese would be the

00:11:57.260 other manic episode i had let me just stay with this before you move on to your other manic story

00:12:00.900 because that just will trigger a million other things yep so let's just like stay all right um

00:12:07.140 so let me just think about this for a second the employee bathroom by the way and the employee

00:12:10.960 bathroom the intimacy in there so the most i would say and i was with you one of the most

00:12:16.840 high end you know all this talk of oh the champagne room the secret lounge the ultimate

00:12:22.540 to me luxury experience is the employee bathroom and an establishment when you're not supposed to

00:12:27.460 be there we went to the employee bathroom inside the indiana jones ride at disneyland sweetheart

00:12:32.620 oh my god and that was the crazy experience okay because i was picturing something and i couldn't

00:12:36.140 remember why we went under we're there in the lockers that's the real access point it's it's

00:12:40.380 like the dingy like just like a normal bathroom yeah the non-customer experience the actual

00:12:45.780 getting in there the exposed rolls the exposed soaps well i always find brands inside of another

00:12:54.240 setting a surprise okay so like if you go into a i don't know like um i don't know what it would be

00:13:01.440 like i guess i guess this isn't a great example but it'd be like if you went into a target bathroom

00:13:06.400 and in there they have toilet paper that they don't sell at target it's just like

00:13:10.260 kimberly clark or whatever no no no i mean like ow ow ow i mean like what am i trying to say

00:13:15.840 like okay fine indiana jones jones bathroom at disneyland right you go in and it's like soft

00:13:20.960 soap right yeah it's like you almost expect there to be like branded trickle down disney soap or

00:13:27.980 yeah yeah it's like did someone just pick that up this morning like right when when a thing is that

00:13:32.600 huge i expect there to be almost like that that every single disney thing has the same like soap

00:13:39.440 in it because they have a deal with something yeah yeah not like this feeling like like a choice

00:13:45.100 consumer choice like a post-it note like someone ran out and got something for that particular

00:13:50.780 office that's the shock to me sim okay any franchise right if you like somehow went into

00:13:56.040 like the bathroom at subway and they had whatever the fuck's open there it's the franchise feeling

00:14:01.560 of like you know like franchises are really interesting to me because it's like it's like 0.90

00:14:06.520 a local business yeah but there are Dunkin Donuts but they're a local business yeah someone said

00:14:10.440 we're going to do a Dunkin here yeah we're going to pay right to be able to sell Dunkin products

00:14:15.340 but we're just Tony and and Lou from down the street yeah and like we run it how we run it

00:14:21.900 that that's a very interesting dynamic like I've been in Dunkin Donuts like like I went to one

00:14:27.020 Dunkin Donuts that was unbelievable it was a local coffee shop right I mean it was a Dunkin 0.52

00:14:32.480 but yeah the treatment that you saw the people coming in yeah it was fucking local I know that

00:14:37.960 happens and it was it was an amazing thing to be seen that the tension between the franchise

00:14:42.680 the corporate yeah yeah and the local element because every franchise is like every subway is

00:14:48.480 a is like someone going I'm gonna open a subway you and me could open a subway sandwich shop

00:14:55.240 We should.

00:14:57.180 You look gorgeous as always.

00:14:58.880 Stunned by your beauty.

00:15:00.140 I have another customer.

00:15:01.680 So as you know, really interesting luxury experience at Nine Orchard, the hotel in New York City.

00:15:07.280 Right.

00:15:07.600 You sent me a thing.

00:15:08.300 You go, this is a good hotel.

00:15:10.260 I go, this is a very good hotel.

00:15:11.580 It's a very fancy hotel.

00:15:12.620 It's a very nice hotel.

00:15:13.640 So I was like, oof.

00:15:15.520 And I got a text that I assume every guest gets that says, this is a beautiful bar attached to the hotel called the Swan Room.

00:15:22.300 And it said, like, between four and five, come down and, like, enjoy a cocktail with

00:15:29.740 owner, when I get it right.

00:15:31.780 This is where it's, you're going, was it just me?

00:15:34.380 Was it the, what does Kate Berlant mean?

00:15:35.420 I knew it wasn't just me.

00:15:36.900 I knew it wasn't just me.

00:15:38.240 But, um.

00:15:38.880 Oh, I, by the way, I went to check out that place and I sat in their lobby.

00:15:41.980 Okay.

00:15:42.420 Yeah.

00:15:42.760 So I know the lobby.

00:15:43.780 Yeah.

00:15:44.320 Well, the lobby is quite small, but it's the Swan Room is the bar.

00:15:47.840 To the right.

00:15:48.740 Yeah.

00:15:49.260 Yeah.

00:15:49.880 So, okay.

00:15:50.420 Listen, welcome to Nine Orchard.

00:15:52.300 Our general manager, Matt Moore, is hosting drinks tonight between 5 and 6 in the Swan Room.

00:15:57.260 Just off the hotel lobby.

00:15:58.380 Please join us.

00:15:59.240 So I get that.

00:16:00.840 I have plans, right?

00:16:01.720 But I go, I need to swing by.

00:16:03.400 Because you want to make a connection with Matt Moore.

00:16:04.820 I want to make a connection with Matt Moore.

00:16:05.920 Make sure you can walk your friends and family rate.

00:16:08.080 I Google Matt Moore.

00:16:09.040 Of course.

00:16:09.520 So I have his face locked.

00:16:10.660 Smart.

00:16:11.380 Good girl.

00:16:11.840 And a friend of mine was already staying at the hotel.

00:16:15.720 And we were going to get dinner.

00:16:16.500 So she was like, I'm going to go to the Swan Room and meet a friend.

00:16:20.260 So I go in.

00:16:21.140 he's just kind of standing there and I go Matt and he was like yeah and I go Kate loving the hotel

00:16:28.060 whatever blah blah and this made me I go I said you know it reminds me of my favorite hotel in

00:16:33.660 Paris Chateau Voltaire he goes wow you know we're friends with the owners really we've actually

00:16:40.080 always talked about doing something together are you serious this is where they stay yeah yeah and

00:16:43.920 I go makes sense yeah well I noticed that there was an aesthetic yeah conversation happening

00:16:48.100 between the two hotels yeah and then sisterly and i go well it's fantastic and then this is the

00:16:53.220 most obnoxious i go i go normally i'm a bowery girl but matt yeah matt you're pulling me no no

00:17:00.040 because if you can go if you can if you if you can find a way if you can find a way to name the

00:20:27.540 this so i was ahead of time i reserved my special table by the fireplace i go hi we get the right

00:20:32.080 table well it's our table it's how they poisoned it so so and i go back and forth with the restaurant

00:20:37.860 yes we'll hold it because i don't hold tables normally i get there most people probably don't

00:20:42.680 want it there are people already there but they're finishing up they're on dessert the point there's

00:20:46.500 this is not part of the story the point is i thought we were too hungry i go it's fine we'll

00:20:49.780 just go to another table it's totally fine here's what happens great server the the ceviche dish

00:20:56.060 that i love which is the hearts of palm you know vegan avocado thing arrives i've had it several

00:21:00.900 times yeah when it was at this range i go something's wrong because normally there's

00:21:06.600 little gem like as it was being lowered oh it was being lowered here i knew it was wrong yeah

00:21:11.320 so because normally there's big poetic yeah little gems to scoop none of them were more than this

00:21:19.200 high one of them was bent broken there were maybe three of them and then and i go that's weird and

00:21:24.780 then i look in it's not a usual the portion is usually pretty substantial it was i would say

00:21:29.580 almost half that size and little gems the spoon had been it looked it landed and i went it looked

00:21:36.040 i'm not kidding like two to three bites have been taken out of it meaning it was like destroyed you

00:21:40.620 know it's usually like a mound yeah it was destroyed and i went and i genuinely thought

00:21:44.960 it was it looked like so shitty i genuinely thought there had been an accident and somebody

00:21:49.860 had cleared it from another table and put it down on ours that's how bad it looked and you know

00:21:54.420 everyone's like oh it's probably fine and I was like something's not right and by the way yeah I

00:21:58.380 had one milligram of THC and I go someone ate my food you know I start but but the point is and I

00:22:03.360 I said to the I go I go I never do that no no I okay but I was like I'm doing it yeah because

00:22:11.680 this is unacceptable no but also just because I knew the dish and I said it you know I go

00:22:16.800 I've gotten this a lot of times does this look to you like a little often he goes it does look

00:22:21.780 smaller than normal I go yeah and the leaves the leaves sweetie and and I said it kind of almost

00:22:27.480 looks like somebody got into it and he said oh I'm sure no like and I go looks like two to three

00:22:33.240 boys have been taken out of it sweetheart and he was like totally you know I'll get you a freshie

00:22:38.040 and I and then I literally start I go sorry this is me on one milligram of THC literally telling

00:22:42.820 him I'm high yeah right and he and we actually had a great back and forth fabulous and he goes

00:22:47.960 somebody else a woman from the front returns and i feel in her i'm like does she hate me is there

00:22:53.200 something because it kind of like is this cheer liking kind of like is this cheer liking has come

00:22:58.520 out for you yeah and by the way and i was like great the little gem was still an issue the little

00:23:03.020 gem was still an issue if they're out we're small they're they're they're out of little gem for the

00:23:06.520 night so because because some of the little gems were and you know when it's the heart you know

00:23:10.920 when it's the heart with a couple white yeah down to the white so it was a little that and i go we

00:23:14.540 can't scoop with that i go they're having trouble it's fine the meal was great excellent delicious

00:23:18.860 um how would you say you know what um we're out of the little gym would you be down to be served

00:23:24.860 with some of our fresh delicious chips great great exactly own up folks own up they're a little

00:23:31.200 crying they were out of a couple items didn't bother me my mom wanted plantains they didn't

00:23:34.900 have them wow but um my mom during the meal and this is i know i've said this on the podcast

00:23:42.660 my wonderful mother but she can't help it i would say nine out of every 10 meals i have with her but

00:23:50.400 it might be 10 out of 10 she makes a comment on how fast i'm eating right right or it's more that

00:23:54.640 she obviously still believes that the comments can change you on some level and if i don't stop

00:24:00.140 this for her so so here's the thing for her it's actually more about and this i respect she wants

00:24:05.720 to luxuriate in the meal i relate to this she feels we're rushing through like she and i also

00:24:10.520 when they start clearing the plates too soon hell and by the way and this is really rude and this

00:24:14.780 is my mother is still she's halfway through her meal i'm of course done my partner's done they

00:24:19.700 clear our plates so my mother's left alone with hers i actually said keep mine i go i'm still

00:24:23.740 working yeah even if it's naked the mother's not eating alone on mother's day no it's really rude

00:24:28.900 no and no one wants no food no food whatever it destroys the it destroys the atmosphere anyway

00:24:34.140 so but she without fail and and the way she says it is well i'm starting to slow down she goes well

00:24:40.020 I'm slowing down of course and I go well I'm not yeah yeah and I even last night was a little and

00:24:45.020 I go and I go I go we fast we will not be shamed trading yeah yeah and then I Naomi really laughed

00:24:50.680 because I was like Jacqueline has an amazing or Jacqueline's thing that she says about eating

00:24:54.840 fast is that's how I like to do it and we were dying because it's true it's like that's what

00:25:01.400 I like to do oh right I like to eat too fast I like to eat fast I don't want to it's not like

00:25:07.380 that's how i like it yeah it'd be like if you liked a jackhammer yeah and it was like

00:25:13.820 enjoy it i am enjoying it i'm getting more thrusts exactly hysterical it's like yeah yeah they're

00:25:21.760 like as a term or is it jack rabbit i think it's both yeah um that's so funny no that's how i like 0.98

00:25:28.860 a short cock okay this time it's like a little jack rabbit yeah yeah yeah who's like i'm bringing 0.85

00:25:34.440 you that the jackhammer okay yeah so he's a little jackrabbit who utilizes the language of 0.99

00:25:40.020 the jackhammer tool not knowing that he himself is the primary example i'm not just your average 0.52

00:25:45.400 jackrabbit i'm a jackhammer jackrabbit wait do you know wait i was once um an early date with

00:25:53.400 my lover and on the we're in london and there were um on the on the the walls of this pub

00:26:01.740 there were you know how it's like antlers you know like things and they had uh these little ones

00:26:07.020 like kind of weird ones and I went oh are those is that jackalope and I was like I think those

00:26:12.260 are jackalope lanterns that's a mythical creature that's not real okay I had a moment because I go

00:26:17.860 because you know you know you know reindeer are real crazily enough okay yeah okay hold on you

00:26:25.760 go what are those I go no I was like jackalope I think it's a mythical rabbit let me look I'll

00:26:30.320 just take a second is it a rabbit that moves like a i was gonna say a cantaloupe jackalope is a

00:26:35.120 mythical creature from north american folklore described as a jack rabbit with antelope like

00:26:40.000 horns known for being elusive wait so are they real no fake mouth it said mythical it said

00:26:46.820 mythical oh it'd be so cool if they were real look a jackalope um chart identification different

00:26:54.540 kinds oh my god they're fabulous i had i must have something going on and bouncing along there's

00:26:59.760 something i must have see i didn't know that that's what a jackalope even was i think when

00:27:03.520 i heard i relate a lot to this i saw i relate a lot to this of course so do i as a woman in comedy

00:27:10.140 okay to be a small rabbit with horns i mean you look exactly like that can the camera see that

00:27:16.680 look find one on there that's me first okay wait wait let me see the chart wait no i have yours i

00:27:20.660 have yours don't tell me what it is okay let me pick yours let me pick yours and then let me look

00:27:24.540 and see if i guess which one you think i am i think you are oh it's actually a little hard

00:27:29.440 spiritual i mean i'm down to two all right but i have which one i think is is you okay 0.75

00:27:34.900 my gender is jackalope bitch exactly okay okay and you didn't let the names influence right no

00:27:46.980 i didn't even look at the names it was a pure visual for me and almost did you catch it from 0.97

00:27:50.800 afar do you want to know which i want to know which one you relate to which one you think i

00:27:55.380 picked for you yeah I mean is it I don't have tattoos that's the one I chose for you okay

00:28:02.480 I knew it and I also guess what the answer was the same yeah for both of the questions you had

00:28:08.840 for me folks I and I stand by mine it's as simple as it is it's a greater jackalope yeah and you

00:28:14.660 look how dirty my screen is and you and mine is mine it's exactly like me and don't you think

00:28:19.020 mine is mine mine's that's the mean one I didn't even look at the others really yeah let me look 0.97

00:28:23.640 at the others now let me play the game again okay oh shit okay wait i mean it's interesting because

00:28:28.560 the one that was you know we locked in on for you it's it's in some ways it's it's not too demure

00:28:34.600 no it's a little like it landed as you okay like and in this one sense but there's another sense

00:28:42.240 in which it's like not it's like you know you can play this game and get into a few different spots

00:28:46.020 pick another one imagine that we hadn't already pre-decided where's kate where's kate kate kate

00:28:52.700 i can't believe my name's kate do you ever have that where you abstract your name kate

00:28:58.940 okay let me see and i by the way like i checked against the original but i i discarded the

00:29:05.000 original kind of anyway i really just go if right now i was going this is different this is less

00:29:09.680 like which are you and more like right now you tell me kate is inside one of those where is she

00:29:14.380 i have to choose which one's my friend to take away that one wait wait pull it back let me see

00:29:18.400 wait wait let me check I won't know until I could because it's between two

00:29:22.160 it's between that one I was gonna say I'm this one or I'm that one okay so I had actually

00:29:29.220 ultimately landed on a different one was it this one the curl no no no no the curl was

00:29:33.880 okay which one it's shocking the long one no

00:29:37.020 really let me see again like a little nervous like you know like like not but like a real

00:29:49.800 just like you're in there like oh this is fabulous I'm saving it which jackalope are

00:29:54.860 you we got to figure out who made that jackalope chart coming um um it's fun everyone

00:30:06.940 once in a while i like to play my mother i've talked about this on the episode on poog but

00:30:11.740 me and my mother can play this game like we once played it in a group with other people

00:30:16.100 and it was like you know you think of a person that everyone in the group knows

00:30:21.140 okay sometimes you're a celebrity or not i forget you know or just people know whatever

00:30:26.040 and then you start going if they were a soap what soap would they be

00:30:28.840 oh yeah okay answer answer that's fun me and my mother would get it in well i told you in two did

00:30:34.580 I say on air my mom confirmed I was born on a Thursday no you told it to me live and I knew

00:30:41.000 I knew Thursday was right because you are Thursday yeah that's exactly oh then we were joking about

00:30:46.100 me like me thinking I was a Sunday or something do you know what day I vaguely have a Tuesday

00:30:50.920 sense but I have to check with my mother check what day was I born send

00:31:04.580 As you know, here on the pod, we are obsessed with our health and how to better understand

00:31:10.140 our bodies.

00:31:11.220 I've been paying a lot more attention to, well, how my body recovers after a workout

00:31:16.400 because recovery fuels the next workout.

00:31:18.900 Am I right?

00:31:20.060 What surprised me is that how much of how you feel during training, it starts in the

00:31:25.960 blood with biomarkers that a lot of people don't even think about.

00:31:30.540 Things like magnesium, your iron, hormone levels, markers that often affect how you

00:31:34.120 feel in each workout and you know we all notice shifts in our energy and our mood throughout the

00:31:40.580 month and i've been very curious about how to better understand these shifts and here's the

00:31:48.060 thing hormonal health is often overlooked in medicine and these markers affect more than just

00:31:53.900 your cycle they can shape your energy your mood strength how you're feeling every day estrogen

00:31:58.880 testosterone fertility indicators proteins that control your hormones all of this is part of a

00:32:06.280 much bigger picture and that's why i love function 160 lab tests a year and you can actually see

00:32:12.040 where your hormones stand you don't have to wait until something feels off to start asking those

00:32:16.200 questions to your doctor it's about what's happening in the blood and that's why the

00:32:20.040 blood work calls to me i want to know about the magnesium the iron the hormone levels

00:32:25.320 When those factors are dialed in, oh, you get the results you're looking for.

00:32:30.780 You're feeling good when you're working out.

00:32:32.640 That's why I use function, 160 plus lab tests a year, so I can see exactly what's going

00:32:38.340 on, not guess at it.

00:32:40.280 Something's working against my training.

00:32:41.840 I want to know.

00:32:42.560 That's what actually taking care of your performance looks like.

00:32:45.700 I'm pretty excited to get my blood work and send it to function.

00:32:50.080 let them work up a dense document take me through it and get into the details and it really feels

00:32:57.880 like you're taking care of yourself because you are taking care of yourself i use function and

00:33:20.080 electrolytes are key salt is life element is salt but it's also delicious addictively so

00:33:33.700 lemonade probably my favorite flavor watermelon raspberry I don't want to brag but I was hung

00:33:40.600 over today and guess what I actually hear it in my voice the gravel I did a pink lemonade element

00:33:47.240 was fabulous now they're doing element lemonade iced tea lemonade iced tea delivers element

00:33:55.360 science-backed electrolyte formulation plus naturally occurring caffeine 50 milligrams

00:34:01.860 l-theanine and polyphenols for a powerful blend of antioxidants what are we talking about well

00:34:09.580 it's a formula they've designed to support a healthy lifestyle without hammering those

00:34:14.560 adrenals are just destroying sleep. Unbelievable. Caffeine being added to Element. I stopped in my

00:34:22.160 tracks. Kate, you realize that caffeine doesn't actually give you energy, right? I love caffeine,

00:34:28.660 but as you know, you got to be careful with the way you're ingesting caffeine. No, it just blocks

00:34:33.640 the receptors that make you feel tired. That's a painful truth and one that, well, I guess Element

00:34:40.100 is interested in helping us navigate. The combination of the hydration with the

00:34:45.000 electrolytes and element with the caffeine stabilizes you and it can fit into your day

00:34:51.480 in an easy way versus your usual ways that you go about getting coffee or procuring caffeine.

00:34:58.300 Look, I drink element because it all started with all the sweating and noticing that I felt better

00:35:04.060 when I had an electrolyte drink during a deep workout or a sauna session.

00:35:09.280 Isolated caffeine, the kind that's in a lot of energy drinks,

00:35:12.020 hits harder and drops faster because there is just nothing there to smooth the curve.

00:35:19.280 Tea, however, works differently.

00:35:21.160 The caffeine comes bundled with L-theanine and polyphenols.

00:35:25.540 And the way that it exists like that naturally in the world is the point.

00:35:30.420 That's what gives you a noticeably steadier feeling.

00:35:32.680 there's less of a spike and less of a drop element lemonade iced tea uses a full black

00:35:38.440 tea extract no not isolated caffeine plus a meaningful dose of electrolytes free of sugar

00:35:45.480 artificial flavors or other dodgy ingredients it's built on the same formula as elements core drink

00:45:22.980 and by then, so we go, you know what? So I'll, I mean, I'm not kidding. We went to, I think,

00:45:26.640 five other places. So fun. Work up an appetite. And then it was just fun. Cause it was just

00:45:30.320 what did you get so it ends in an amazing way so we end up back at i think it's mimi's

00:45:36.340 in in soho long line and it's one of those things where you get at the end you go

00:45:40.420 you're talking talking and then you look behind and the line is so long and i go

00:45:46.140 look how long it goes and then she was like no no we were at the end the line was that long

00:45:51.340 like like it really so behind us is a date and it's like you guys are young they're probably

00:45:57.880 be like 21 yeah and it's like she's in her like day and he's like he's like yeah I uh uh he's

00:46:18.360 what do you cook when you have your friends over he's like probably swimming high protein no yeah

00:46:22.060 i was like amazed amazed and and anyway so so we get through by the way whatever usually it was

00:46:34.180 like what did you get and i saw people walking by and it's usually me kind of scoffing look at 0.98

00:46:37.720 these fucking jack-offs jack-offs with what in the line like when you walk by people waiting in 0.98

00:46:42.940 a long line for something oh yeah of course of course yeah of course and i was like so we're in 0.99

00:46:48.200 the line then i start to panic because i look in it's self-serve toppings and i go i can't have a

00:46:56.800 topping well because they're mixing them up disgusting no so it's a trough with 70 000

00:47:02.960 people every five minutes touching the spoons yeah yeah what do i want my issue okay 0.73

00:47:09.240 panting over naked for you it's a laugh and a half barfing the cashew okay going like yeah 0.98

00:47:16.820 dragging it over no of course but i'm like spoons i go and then i'm going you guys are crazy use the 0.98

00:47:21.740 pink ray model have the people that are working there do it it's gonna be so much faster more 0.88

00:47:25.600 efficient sanitary i don't want to touch the spoon that everyone's goddamn uncle has been like i have

00:47:31.880 a different model imagine the spoon's warm because there's so many hands so i warm i can't get warm

00:47:37.500 for you so i said i can't have toppings and that's okay and also it's self-crank i go this is a 0.75

00:47:44.140 fucking petri dish you didn't even bring this up self crank i didn't realize it's like the 0.89

00:47:48.080 window self crank so was it a because wait there was a business that there's like six of them 0.99

00:47:53.160 called like just 16 handles just there was one that opened on the upper west side briefly that

00:47:57.880 was like self-handle crank yeah and toppings there's a bunch of the briefly we're like yeah

00:48:03.000 we're like hot forks like it opened up that's what people like and then you can like weigh

00:48:06.420 it yourself or whatever i'm like so yeah i have a few different thoughts about that i don't like

00:48:10.200 that i want them to do it for me i don't want everyone in there i think there's a third way

00:48:14.100 a better way that i would design okay now i don't have all the answers yet wait what

00:48:18.340 what's that it's like oh no no i know what that is but i mean it's like korean barbecue i thought

00:48:23.840 i think it's like fun there's no like like you see what i'm saying well totally totally no no

00:48:29.340 so so first of all i actually don't like um having to choose a complete spectrum of an amount right

00:48:36.720 So like more or less, more, right.

00:48:39.060 I'd rather decide on a small, a medium, a large.

00:48:41.580 Yeah, right.

00:48:42.180 Exactly.

00:48:42.760 Same.

00:48:43.620 And eight outs, whatever.

00:48:45.120 That like, okay, yeah, that's what I want.

00:48:48.160 Now the toppings question.

00:48:49.880 I don't, I also don't love, well, there's a few issues.

00:48:52.900 I don't love them doing the topping because first of all, a lot of times I'm watching

00:48:56.380 the cross-contamination happen in their hands.

00:48:58.260 Yeah, of course.

00:48:59.860 Also don't love fundamentally.

00:49:02.000 Sorry, I'm really remembering it.

00:49:03.040 Amazing self-serve them a shout out after this.

00:49:04.760 I don't, I don't.

00:49:06.720 I fundamentally don't appreciate a small plastic spoon, just like a spoon or any spoon, okay?

00:49:12.020 But that's not going to be enough.

00:49:15.200 Yeah.

00:49:15.400 So actually the only true way.

00:49:17.580 Yeah.

00:49:18.160 I once was at a Baskin Robbins, okay?

00:49:21.160 And ordered the gut sprinkles, okay?

00:49:23.420 And a little like plastic spoon, like you'd get.

00:49:26.440 No.

00:49:27.120 Okay.

00:49:27.320 And then they go like that and some hit and some fly off, okay?

00:49:31.060 So the only true way to do sprinkles, and yes, I know where we're headed, is cup, okay?

00:49:35.680 now what does that mean okay what does that mean you get excited right for cross-contamination it

00:49:41.500 can't be in the group bin and i know that's how they do it they do it that way i almost don't

00:49:45.200 mind like at a fro-yo truck because they only have so few things so it's like fresh ice cream

00:49:50.240 has touched the thing but i'm like if that means that a trough has to pour into a fresh bowl fresh

00:49:56.960 huge amount of sprinkles okay and then it's dipped and then those are tossed in the trash

00:50:02.220 those are tossed to the lions yeah yeah okay that i don't know there's there's a model here there's

00:50:08.280 a way it can be worked out then sterilized okay they're reboiled they're created this there could 1.00

00:50:12.780 be a system they can purify fucking water made of shit they can do it okay so so it needs to be a 0.99

00:50:19.140 full dunk and a full that that texture when it is truly covered in sprinkles oh when it's the 1.00

00:50:23.740 surface of the moon the chalky little sprinkles uh okay what's the one you want to shout out for

00:50:28.700 and by the way what flavor did you get listen listen i'm not done so i'm preparing i go i can't 0.97

00:50:34.280 believe i've waited for 16 hours yeah for a fucking petri dish and then i'm really grossed 0.94

00:50:39.180 out i'm like seeing i just like i can't do it no but i go in i grab a napkin i grab a paper towel 0.97

00:50:45.080 to hold the crank okay i do dignity i do a paper towel crank i don't get any of the toppings because

00:50:52.280 i'm just like yeah i can't do it and i say to my friend because she got the caps i go you know i'm
