Hello, Sashir.
0
SPEAKER_02
Hello, Nicole.
0
SPEAKER_02
How are you?
0
SPEAKER_02
I m good.
0
SPEAKER_02
I finished Dawson s Creek.
0
SPEAKER_02
How many seasons was it?
0
SPEAKER_02
Six.
0
SPEAKER_00
All right.
0
SPEAKER_02
Okay.
0
SPEAKER_02
Each season has like 24 episodes.
0
SPEAKER_02
Mm-hmm.
0
SPEAKER_02
It was quite a commitment.
0
SPEAKER_02
Old school TV, 20 episodes where some of them don t matter.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I like it.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, there will be random.
0
SPEAKER_02
Dawson s Creek, like every show has holiday episodes.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I guess the holiday Dawson s Creek shows was Halloween because every season they were like, we re going to do a Halloween episode.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I d be like, why?
0
SPEAKER_02
But actually, I looked up later that the creator, Kevin Williamson, wrote Scream.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I know what you did last summer.
0
SPEAKER_02
So it s like, I think, wanted to keep the horror genre alive in this work, too.
0
SPEAKER_02
But yeah, sometimes I d be like, I don t care about this.
0
SPEAKER_02
I don t need to see Joey get scared.
0
SPEAKER_02
Like, Dawson and Jen just made out in the last episode.
0
SPEAKER_02
Now we re putting that on pause so we can, like, get a little spooky.
0
SPEAKER_02
I don t care about that.
0
SPEAKER_02
Get a little spooky.
0
SPEAKER_02
That s funny to me.
0
SPEAKER_02
I like it.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
I just restarted watching Queer as Folk, and there is no Halloween episodes.
0
SPEAKER_02
I don t think there was a Christmas episode.
0
SPEAKER_02
I think I made it to the end of season one, and I think it s like 22 episodes, and I was like, yes!
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, they don t do long seasons like that anymore.
0
SPEAKER_02
No, and I miss it.
0
SPEAKER_02
Give it to me.
0
SPEAKER_02
But it is quite amazing, because it s like,
0
SPEAKER_02
there s so much story here. 
0
SPEAKER_02
It s like, I would... Now I m like, how... Those writers were so good.
0
SPEAKER_02
Obviously.
0
SPEAKER_02
But, like, to flesh out so much over so much time.
0
SPEAKER_02
Or maybe it s easier because you have so much time.
0
SPEAKER_02
I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_02
I think it s easier because you don t have time constraints.
0
SPEAKER_02
You re like, we have 22 episodes to figure this out.
0
SPEAKER_02
And one of the episodes is just gonna be Halloween.
0
SPEAKER_02
And we re not gonna advance the story.
0
SPEAKER_02
We re gonna go, ooh, ghost.
0
SPEAKER_02
Spooky vampires.
0
SPEAKER_02
And then we re back to the creek the next episode.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, it was good.
0
SPEAKER_02
Ooh, Jordan has a question.
0
SPEAKER_02
She said, were you expecting the end of Dawson s Creek?
0
SPEAKER_02
I was not expecting it at all.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I was upset at first.
0
SPEAKER_02
I don t want to give it away in case anyone ever wants to revisit this old ass show.
0
SPEAKER_02
But yes, something really crazy and dramatic happens at the end.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I did like it because I think I don t know how else they would have ended the show.
0
SPEAKER_02
Sorry I m being so vague, Nicole.
0
SPEAKER_02
I mean, I m not gonna watch it, so how does it end?
0
SPEAKER_02
And if you haven t watched Dawson s Creek, fast forward.
0
SPEAKER_02
Maybe in the notes we ll put where we stopped talking about it.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
I ll just say, I won t say who it is, but someone dies.
0
SPEAKER_02
And it is unexpected.
0
SPEAKER_02
And they re not the first person who dies either.
0
SPEAKER_02
There s other deaths that happen in the show, where I was like,
0
SPEAKER_02
I really did not think this is what the show was gonna be.
0
SPEAKER_02
I thought it would just be like, like fun little high school romances, which it was that, but I was like, oh my God, people are dying?
0
SPEAKER_02
Who dies?
0
SPEAKER_02
Stakes are high in this show.
0
SPEAKER_02
Does **** die?
0
SPEAKER_02
No.
0
SPEAKER_02
**** dies?
0
SPEAKER_02
No.
0
SPEAKER_02
Uh, uh, **** dies?
0
SPEAKER_02
No.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
Wow.
0
SPEAKER_02
You hate to see it.
0
SPEAKER_02
I went through four people.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I, you know, I mean, it s like the end of 13 Reasons Why.
0
SPEAKER_02
If you re gonna watch it, don t listen to this.
0
SPEAKER_02
Someone gets AIDS and dies, and you re like, wait, what?
0
SPEAKER_02
It s, yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
Maybe they re like, if they, if the show knows it s gonna end, they re like, well, better go out with a bang.
0
SPEAKER_02
Better, better.
0
SPEAKER_02
Gotta kill some fan favorites.
0
SPEAKER_02
Kill one of these people we love.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
I mean, yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
I wonder... I mean, I m re-watching Queer as Folk.
0
SPEAKER_02
I don t know if anyone dies.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
I didn t watch any of it, so I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_02
Oh, it s so good.
0
SPEAKER_02
I was showing it to our friend Tessa, and she was like, oh, my God, is that a dick?
0
SPEAKER_02
And then we spent a lot of time rewinding and pausing to see if we saw dicks.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I think we do in the pilot.
0
SPEAKER_02
I think there s two dick sightings.
0
SPEAKER_02
Whoa.
0
SPEAKER_02
What network was it on?
0
SPEAKER_02
Showtime, baby!
0
SPEAKER_02
I mean, there can be dicks.
0
SPEAKER_02
Dicks are allowed.
0
SPEAKER_02
Showtime, there can be dicks.
0
SPEAKER_02
That s their new tagline, and they didn t ask for it, and now it s here to stay.
0
SPEAKER_02
There will be blood, and there can be dicks.
0
SPEAKER_02
I mean, I m here for it.
0
SPEAKER_02
I love seeing a little dick slippage.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
I feel like there s so much dick on TV now, because I guess they re like, it s the boys  turn.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s time for the boys to get out there.
0
SPEAKER_02
That s a quality.
0
SPEAKER_02
We had to see lots of titties.
0
SPEAKER_02
And now it s time to go below the belt and see flapping dicks.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
0
SPEAKER_02
Have you seen Righteous Gemstones?
0
SPEAKER_02
No, I haven t.
0
SPEAKER_02
Is that good?
0
SPEAKER_02
It is.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s very funny.
0
SPEAKER_02
And there s just so much dick in it.
0
SPEAKER_02
Like, in a funny way, I guess.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s not, like, actually supposed to be sexy.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s just, like, out.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s just funny.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s just ha-ha-hee-hee.
0
SPEAKER_02
Jordan said, you see Alexander Sarsgaard s dick in True Blood.
0
SPEAKER_02
I ve seen all of True Blood and I don t remember it.
0
SPEAKER_02
Oh, interesting.
0
SPEAKER_02
I haven t seen any.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s good.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s a fun show.
0
SPEAKER_02
Vampire Bill goes, Sookie, you are mine.
0
SPEAKER_02
And it s one of my favorite things.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I love saying it because to me is funny.
0
SPEAKER_02
I just started the pilot episode of Charmed because I think that s my next great old show to watch.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
Charmed is beyond great.
0
SPEAKER_02
Um, spoiler, Shannen Doherty does not stay for the whole time.
0
SPEAKER_02
I do know this.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I... I don t know why.
0
SPEAKER_02
Because I guess I... heard it at some point in my life.
0
SPEAKER_02
Because it was part of the Zeitgeist, baby.
0
SPEAKER_02
The WB.
0
SPEAKER_02
They had hit fucking shows.
0
SPEAKER_02
Mm-hmm.
0
SPEAKER_02
They really did.
0
SPEAKER_02
Ugh, Buffy is so good.
0
SPEAKER_02
Um, and then, you better believe, I watched the spinoff Angel.
0
SPEAKER_02
with David Dukop... That s not his name.
0
SPEAKER_02
David Boreanaz.
0
SPEAKER_02
David Boreanaz, I think?
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I think so.
0
SPEAKER_02
Oh, Angel is so good.
0
SPEAKER_02
I mean, it was on for years and years and years and years.
0
SPEAKER_02
Years and years.
0
SPEAKER_02
And it s so good.
0
SPEAKER_02
You know, both shows for me kind of like, I was like, oh, what are we doing now?
0
SPEAKER_02
But I watched them till the end.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
I mean, you re a true fan.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, same with Queer as Folk.
0
SPEAKER_02
Season four should have been the last season.
0
SPEAKER_02
Season five goes a little bit off the rails and you re like, what?
0
SPEAKER_02
The club they all go to gets bombed?
0
SPEAKER_02
What?
0
SPEAKER_02
Okay.
0
SPEAKER_02
So it seems like someone would have died, no?
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, but I don t think anybody dies.
0
SPEAKER_02
Oh wait, someone does die and it s exactly who you think it is.
0
SPEAKER_02
Well, because they were sick the whole time.
0
SPEAKER_02
So it s like, we knew.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I m pretty sure he does.
0
SPEAKER_02
Listen, it s been years since I watched it, and it s giving me all the feels, and I m like, this is so nostalgic.
0
SPEAKER_02
Nostalgic?
0
SPEAKER_02
Nostalgia-istic.
0
SPEAKER_02
Nostalgia.
0
SPEAKER_02
Nostalgic.
0
SPEAKER_02
It didn t sound right, so then I tried to fix it, and it didn t work out.
0
SPEAKER_02
No, first one was right.
0
SPEAKER_02
You got it.
0
SPEAKER_02
Nostalgic.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
Jordan, what are you eating?
0
SPEAKER_00
It s like a bowl and never ending.
0
SPEAKER_01
It s a perfect bowl.
0
SPEAKER_00
What?
0
SPEAKER_01
It s a perfect bowl.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m sorry.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m eating frosted flakes.
0
SPEAKER_01
You re going to get really mad at me.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m eating them without milk.
0
SPEAKER_01
What?
0
SPEAKER_01
I know.
0
SPEAKER_02
Why are you even using a spoon then?
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, use your fingies.
0
SPEAKER_01
To be polite because you can see me?
0
SPEAKER_01
Can you imagine me just like full on with my fingers with this?
0
SPEAKER_02
But you didn t want to be so polite that you didn t eat in front of us.
0
SPEAKER_02
It would make more sense.
0
SPEAKER_02
I only wanna be slightly polite.
0
SPEAKER_02
I m still gonna eat in front of you, but I ll just use a spoon.
0
SPEAKER_01
This is true, I probably wouldn t eat in front of you, to be polite.
0
SPEAKER_02
Sorry.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s okay.
0
SPEAKER_02
Have you always done that?
0
SPEAKER_01
You know what, since I was a kid, kind of, but I also grew up with, not super strict parents, but more of like, no sugar cereals, but the cereals we did have was like Raisin Bran,
1
SPEAKER_00
and frosted slinks, and I grew up a hardcore Rice Krispies girl with skim milk.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh.
1
SPEAKER_01
Got to keep it healthy.
1
SPEAKER_00
Got to keep it healthy.
1
SPEAKER_01
The snap, crackle, pop to not be too heavy.
1
SPEAKER_01
I grew up in a house where we ate Cheerios
1
SPEAKER_01
and honey bunches of oats, and every now and again, my mom would get the little boxes, the little, like, one-serving boxes, and boy, oh, boy, were those days nice.
1
SPEAKER_01
I d be like, oh, my God, I can have Fruit Loops!
1
SPEAKER_01
And then, Frosted Flakes made me sad because all of the sugar coating would come off in the milk, and then it would just be, like, regular Corn Flakes, and I d be like, now my milk is sugar, but I want sugar in the bites.
1
SPEAKER_01
Right, right.
1
SPEAKER_01
You know?
1
SPEAKER_01
And that was my cross to bear.
1
SPEAKER_01
That was my emotional sadness.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
I ate the Reese s Puffs and that was so good.
1
SPEAKER_01
Those were never in the little boxes.
1
SPEAKER_01
The little boxes were like Frosted Flakes, regular Corn Flakes, Fruit Loops, maybe Frosted Cheerios, maybe.
1
SPEAKER_01
I don t remember.
1
SPEAKER_01
What are the apple ones?
1
SPEAKER_01
Apple Jacks.
1
SPEAKER_01
Apple Jacks, yes.
1
SPEAKER_01
Apple Jacks were good.
1
SPEAKER_01
Wow.
1
SPEAKER_01
A Lucky Charms.
1
SPEAKER_01
Lucky Charms.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, man.
1
SPEAKER_01
My favorite cereal that I was not allowed to have, that s my favorite now, is Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
1
SPEAKER_01
It is so yummy.
1
SPEAKER_01
I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
1
SPEAKER_01
Put that on some ice cream and have a nice day.
1
SPEAKER_01
Mm-hmm.
1
SPEAKER_01
That sounds good.
1
SPEAKER_01
Mm!
1
SPEAKER_01
And then, you know me, I love my oat bran.
1
SPEAKER_01
Or no, cracklin  oat bran.
1
SPEAKER_01
Cracklin  oat bran.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, it s so good.
1
SPEAKER_01
Mm-hmm.
1
SPEAKER_01
You know what I did the other day?
1
SPEAKER_01
I bought a bunch of Biscoff cookies from Gelson s, and I have been living like I m in the sky on my couch.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, my goodness.
1
SPEAKER_01
Biscoff s on the couch?
1
SPEAKER_00
On land?
1
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
1
SPEAKER_01
on land.
1
SPEAKER_01
They are so delicious, sky or land.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, they re good.
1
SPEAKER_01
Do you dip them in anything or you just eat them plain?
1
SPEAKER_01
I just eat them plain.
1
SPEAKER_01
I don t want to damage the flavor profile.
1
SPEAKER_00
Do you know that there is a Biscoff spread like Nutella, but it s Biscoff?
1
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
1
SPEAKER_00
Have you tried it?
1
SPEAKER_01
I ve tried it and it s not for me.
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay, cool.
1
SPEAKER_01
The cookies are so good.
1
SPEAKER_01
I wish it was.
1
SPEAKER_01
The cookies are so good.
1
SPEAKER_01
God, I just love them.
1
SPEAKER_01
I do miss the Delta logo that is on them.
1
SPEAKER_01
When I buy them not from Delta, I m like, oh, these are just nondescript Biscoffs that just came from the store and they re not branded to any soul.
1
SPEAKER_01
I want the Delta brand Biscoffs.
1
SPEAKER_01
I wish I could get the Delta brand Biscoffs in the store.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
They should do that.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s a missed opportunity for Delta.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Right?
1
SPEAKER_01
As like an experiment to see which ones sell better, Delta brand or Zero brand.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, interesting.
1
SPEAKER_01
Also, it s not Zero brand, it s Biscoff, like they re your own brand.
1
SPEAKER_01
I don t recognize Biscoff as a brand.
1
SPEAKER_01
I recognize them as Delta Biscoff cookies and you get brandless ones at the store.
1
SPEAKER_01
Just no-name cookies.
1
SPEAKER_01
No, just cookies wandering around not knowing their identity.
1
SPEAKER_01
Mm-hmm.
1
SPEAKER_01
Sad.
1
SPEAKER_01
Sad.
1
SPEAKER_01
Mm-hmm.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, they probably would sell better with the Delta logo, because people would be like, oh, yes, I ve had those before in the sky on Delta.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then they re like, I m going to treat myself to a sky treat on land.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Being bad.
1
SPEAKER_01
You know?
1
SPEAKER_01
Mm-hmm.
1
SPEAKER_01
I also had Flanagus and Syrian cookies.
1
SPEAKER_01
I can t remember.
1
SPEAKER_01
What is the actual name of them?
1
SPEAKER_01
Mark and Jerry.
1
SPEAKER_01
Otis and Funkmeyer.
1
SPEAKER_01
Those two brothers?
1
SPEAKER_01
Yes, and they came together to make cookies.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s those shortbread cookies with a dollop of chocolate in the middle.
1
SPEAKER_01
They re so decadent.
1
SPEAKER_01
Augustine and... Oh, and Titus.
1
SPEAKER_01
Maybe.
1
SPEAKER_01
Or Frankfort?
1
SPEAKER_01
Augustine and Frankfort?
1
SPEAKER_01
I really feel like Augustine is one of them.
1
SPEAKER_01
Augustine is one of them.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
But I don t know.
1
SPEAKER_01
I simply don t know.
1
SPEAKER_01
They re so good.
1
SPEAKER_01
I was awake when the snacks went around on my flight the other day and I was like, don t mind if I do.
1
SPEAKER_01
Mm hmm.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
1
SPEAKER_01
Michael and Augustine.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
1
SPEAKER_01
Miguel and Augustine, because I think they re like French people or something.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Bonjour.
1
SPEAKER_01
Mm-hmm.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, they re so good.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, I could get them right on Instacart.
1
SPEAKER_01
OK.
1
SPEAKER_01
Uh-oh.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m going to get a bunch sent to the house.
1
SPEAKER_01
We re going to have a Sky Treat on land.
1
SPEAKER_01
All the Sky Treats on land.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, sometimes I get those factory boxes of food and you heat them up.
1
SPEAKER_01
Sometimes they feel like Sky Food.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh.
1
SPEAKER_01
if I don t plate them, you know?
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, yeah, because you re eating out of like a little plastic tinny thing.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, my God.
1
SPEAKER_01
Factor has this.
1
SPEAKER_01
We re not sponsored by Factor, but OK.
1
SPEAKER_01
They have this like turkey chili.

SPEAKER_01
It is so good.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, it is seasoned so well.
1
SPEAKER_01
And it s just yummy, yummy chunks of meat.
1
SPEAKER_01
We love that.
1
SPEAKER_01

1
SPEAKER_01
That s really smart.
1
SPEAKER_01
Thank you.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m a genius.
1
SPEAKER_01
Thank you.
1
SPEAKER_01
Shredded chicken bowl is my favorite.
1
SPEAKER_01
I don t like shredded chicken.
1
SPEAKER_01
It really upsets me.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s the like texture.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
1
SPEAKER_01
I stuck my tongue out and pointed to my tongue and you knew it.
1
SPEAKER_01
They did.
1
SPEAKER_01
That s exciting for me.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s like the texture of it is not there.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s I don t like shredded chicken.
1
SPEAKER_01
It upsets me.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, thankfully, there s other options.
1
SPEAKER_01
Thank God.
1
SPEAKER_01
Have you had raisin canes?
1
SPEAKER_01
I don t think I have.
1
SPEAKER_01
I haven t had it yet, but it looks really yummy.
1
SPEAKER_01
It looks like the chicken fingers I like.
1
SPEAKER_01
Which are?
1
SPEAKER_01
Not nasty looking.
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay, I ll show you the picture that I show servers when I m trying to figure out if they have the chicken fingers that I want.

SPEAKER_01
OK, just wait.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m on the edge of my seat.
1
SPEAKER_01

1
SPEAKER_01
They re like thick and crispy.
1
SPEAKER_01
Mm hmm.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, if they look like that, they look like fish sticks, and they re nasty, too smooth.
1
SPEAKER_00
You ll like the raisin canes, because there s one in Burbank, and they look like this.
1
SPEAKER_00
They look good.
1
SPEAKER_00
And their toast is good.
1
SPEAKER_00
I like their coleslaw.
1
SPEAKER_00
I like their fries.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m not a coleslaw queen.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s like, what, shredded cabbage with mayonnaise and vinegar?
1
SPEAKER_01
And sugar, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Ugh.
1
SPEAKER_01
Not for me.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m not doing it.
1
SPEAKER_01
You can t make me.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m so sorry, but I think you re going to have to.
1
SPEAKER_01
I won t.
1
SPEAKER_01
I won t.
1
SPEAKER_01
There s going to be a doorbell ring any moment now and coleslaw is going to be delivered to you.
1
SPEAKER_01
Sashir, I would be so mad.
1
SPEAKER_01
I would be so angry if there was ding dong and then some man went coleslaw delivery.
1
SPEAKER_01
Do you remember I d never been kissed when Drew Barrymore, Josie, her brother eats a bucket of coleslaw and everyone s like, oh my God, he s so cool.
1
SPEAKER_01
Ew.
1
SPEAKER_01
No, I do not remember this.
1
SPEAKER_01
You don t remember when Rob, I believe her brother, eats a bucket of coleslaw and is like, yeah!
1
SPEAKER_01
And everyone s like, whoa!
1
SPEAKER_01
And then he takes a teen to prom as a full-grown adult, and everyone s like, kind of fine with it?
1
SPEAKER_01
I haven t seen the movie in a really long time.
1
SPEAKER_01
Whoa, you don t remember never being kissed, like, verbatim?
1
SPEAKER_01
I sure don t.
1
SPEAKER_01
You do?
1
SPEAKER_01
Wow.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, I ve seen it recently.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, okay.
1
SPEAKER_01
I know.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
You know that of course law.
1
SPEAKER_01
He s like dumping it into his mouth.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
And everyone real brothers.
1
SPEAKER_01
This is her real brother who helps legitimize her as like a cool student.
1
SPEAKER_01
So he himself as an adult enrolls in high school, joins the baseball team and the baseball team like goes to fucking finals because they have
2
SPEAKER_01
an adult on the team.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s really funny.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s wild.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I m like, put these people in jail.
2
SPEAKER_00
And what was she?
2
SPEAKER_00
I honestly really don t remember.
2
SPEAKER_00
I know she goes to high school, but I really can t remember what.
2
SPEAKER_00
Why?
2
SPEAKER_00
Why?
2
SPEAKER_01
Because she s a journalist at the Chicago Sun-Times, and they re doing an expose on teens of the time.
2
SPEAKER_01
and she goes to high school undercover to figure out what teens are doing, and then falls in love with her teacher, Michael Vartan, and he s like, I think you re beautiful, and you re gonna go to college, and she s like, you re just saying that because you re my teacher, and they re on a Ferris wheel together, and he s like, no, I shouldn t be saying this because I m your teacher, and then she starts blushing, and I m like, this man knows he s doing a crime!
2
SPEAKER_01
Crimes are happening!
2
SPEAKER_01
This...
2
SPEAKER_01
The expose is, we allow criminals into our school who are adults and they can just live and breathe and go to prom and get voted as prom queen.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s a wild movie.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s pretty wild.
2
SPEAKER_00
Um, there was a story last year or something where a mom was... I don t remember.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think like a teacher was mean to her daughter or something, but she wanted to...
2
SPEAKER_00
I think fight a teacher.
2
SPEAKER_00
So this mom disguised herself as a student, just walked into this school.
2
SPEAKER_00
and I guess fought the teacher?
2
SPEAKER_00
Which I don t know, you could do that as an adult too.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t actually know why you had to disguise as a student.
2
SPEAKER_01
Because she wanted to get at her in a way where she was like surprised.
2
SPEAKER_01
If an adult walks into school looking like an adult, you re like, hey adult, why are you here?
2
SPEAKER_01
If there s a new kid in class, you re like, oh, do you have your transfer papers?
2
SPEAKER_01
I assume, I ve never gone to a different school before.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then she s like, no, I have fists.
2
SPEAKER_01
And you re like, what?
2
SPEAKER_01
Like you re surprised.
2
SPEAKER_01
No, what I do have is these hands.
2
SPEAKER_01
And it s like, yeah, you have hands and hands that hold your papers for for transferring.
2
SPEAKER_01
She s like, nah, hands that fucking are going to beat you the fuck up.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, yes, this is it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Mom allegedly snuck into a middle school and beat up the teacher, an angry parent and her and her an angry parent.
2
SPEAKER_00
And her mother allegedly showed up at Syracuse New York Middle School on February 16th, hoping to confront a teacher.
2
SPEAKER_01
Wow, two days after Valentine s.
2
SPEAKER_01
So much love in the world and she s coming to fight.
2
SPEAKER_00
Sutton, apparently years younger than her age, made her way through and allegedly physically assaulted her daughter s teacher.
2
SPEAKER_00
Wow.
2
SPEAKER_00
Suddenly allegedly beat the teacher so badly that she was taken to an area hospital for treatment and will suffer long term effects.
2
SPEAKER_00
No.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, my God.
2
SPEAKER_00
The woman s daughter allegedly threatened the teacher the day before, so the teacher should have listened and probably not showed up.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, she s like, people are gonna jump me.
2
SPEAKER_01
I have got to stay home.
2
SPEAKER_01
The following, the mother and grandmother showed up at school.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_01
Got past security.
2
SPEAKER_00
Wild.
2
SPEAKER_00
She s four foot ten.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, I see.
2
SPEAKER_00
Damn.
2
SPEAKER_00
Wow.
2
SPEAKER_01
That s wild.
2
SPEAKER_01
I would never jump a teacher.
2
SPEAKER_01
Are you kidding?
2
SPEAKER_01
They have it hard enough.
2
SPEAKER_01
And your kid was probably bad.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, I mean... This is like a generational thing.
2
SPEAKER_00
Three generations of women thought this was okay.
2
SPEAKER_00
So what hope does this kid have with morality?
2
SPEAKER_01
I mean, I kind of love it.
2
SPEAKER_01
I d be like, my mom will beat you up.
2
SPEAKER_01
My grandma will beat you up.
2
SPEAKER_01
My great-grandmother, if she was still living, she would beat you up.
2
SPEAKER_01
Oh, my God.
2
SPEAKER_01
Oh, my God.
2
SPEAKER_01
Speaking of rising from the dead, I recently just showed that short film Golden Arm that was on Quibi to Tessa, and she was like, wait, what is this?
2
SPEAKER_01
Wait, Jordan, have you seen Golden Arm?
2
SPEAKER_01
I m currently Googling it to see if I have.
2
SPEAKER_01
So the marvelous Miss Maisel accidentally gets her arm cut off by a tree falling on it.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then her husband makes, melts gold to make her a golden arm.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then she starts getting gold poisoning and she s like sick and dying, but she won t take off her golden arm.
2
SPEAKER_01
And she s like, bury me with my golden arm.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s a perfect, it s perfect.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s like 20 minutes or 30 minutes.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s great.
2
SPEAKER_02
Why did the husband make an arm when she could have gone to the hospital?
2
SPEAKER_01
Listen, we re not asking those types of questions.
2
SPEAKER_01
We re just here for the ride of the golden arm, okay?
2
SPEAKER_00
I can t recommend it enough.
2
SPEAKER_00
I was genuinely frightened.
2
SPEAKER_00
I was screaming when we were watching it.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, it s Sam Raimi, who s known for spooks and scares, I think.
2
SPEAKER_01
Spooks and scares.
2
SPEAKER_01
Didn t he do Spider-Man?
2
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
2
SPEAKER_01
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_01
Why do I know him for spooks and scares and then the only thing I can cite is Spider-Man, which is not known for spooks and scares?
2
SPEAKER_01
Let s see.
2
SPEAKER_00
What s going on in IMDb?
2
SPEAKER_02
Also, there s multiple golden arms, one of them being the Betsy Sidaro s.
2
SPEAKER_01
Oh, yes.
2
SPEAKER_01
No, we re looking for the one starring the marvelous Ms.
2
SPEAKER_01
Maisel.
2
SPEAKER_01
The one that Betsy s in looks far more fun.
2
SPEAKER_01
It is fun.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s a very fun movie.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s very funny.
2
SPEAKER_01
Did you find his IMDBs?
2
SPEAKER_01
Evil Dead.
2
SPEAKER_01
Okay, there s Spooky.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s a Spooky.
2
SPEAKER_00
The Grudge.
2
SPEAKER_00
Also Spooky.
2
SPEAKER_00
Ash versus Evil Dead.
2
SPEAKER_00
Sounds spooky!
2
SPEAKER_00
Produced Poltergeist.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, that s spooky too.
2
SPEAKER_00
Wait, what was the first spooky you said?
2
SPEAKER_00
Evil Dead.
2
SPEAKER_00
Who s in that?
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
Knife Man?
2
SPEAKER_00
Yes!
2
SPEAKER_00
What s Knife Man?
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know what Knife Man is.
2
SPEAKER_00
Is it a TV movie?
2
SPEAKER_00
Set in 18th century London, Knife Man will focus on the untold story of a charming, arrogant, decorum-breaking genius who challenges societal norms to transform his visions into cutting-edge discoveries.
2
SPEAKER_00
OK.
2
SPEAKER_01
Oh, man, I was hoping it was a man who was made up of knives, like a little further than Edward Scissorhands, where it s like his face is knives to his eyes are knives as well.
2
SPEAKER_01
His teeth knives.
2
SPEAKER_01
He is knife man.
2
SPEAKER_00
Knife man.
2
SPEAKER_00
Hmm.
2
SPEAKER_00
Something called drag me to hell.
2
SPEAKER_00
Fear is real.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay, so yeah, this is a spooky person.
2
SPEAKER_00
Xena.
2
SPEAKER_00
Warrior princess?
2
SPEAKER_00
Yes, the warrior princess.
2
SPEAKER_01
Whoa!
2
SPEAKER_01
Wait, Xena was so strange to me because Xena did not come on on my TV at like 8 p.m.
2
SPEAKER_01
Xena came on at like 2 p.m.
2
SPEAKER_01
on a Saturday.
2
SPEAKER_00
Um, I guess?
2
SPEAKER_00
I feel like Daylight was out when I was watching Xena, but I don t... But I feel like it was like a 4 p.m.
2
SPEAKER_00
weekday situation.
2
SPEAKER_00
Or like, it was after school, I think.
2
SPEAKER_00
But also, I don t remember.
2
SPEAKER_00
But it wasn t prime time for sure.
2
SPEAKER_00
It was like earlier in the day.
2
SPEAKER_01
Why?
2
SPEAKER_01
Why was it?
2
SPEAKER_01
And then the companion show, I think, was... It was that man, Kevin Zorbo?
2
SPEAKER_01
What was he?
2
SPEAKER_01
He was Hercules?
2
SPEAKER_01
No.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
He was?
2
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
2
SPEAKER_01
Hercules and Xena, Warrior Princess?
2
SPEAKER_01
But why did they come on during the day?
2
SPEAKER_01
Same with VIP with Pam Anderson.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, I don t know VIP.
2
SPEAKER_01
Oh, it s fun.
2
SPEAKER_01
She like looks hot and I think solves crimes.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, that is fun.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then I think there was like a gaggle of other people too.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, why do these shows come on during the day?
2
SPEAKER_01
I mean, hmm.
2
SPEAKER_00
Is it post-work?
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
Who s watching those shows?
2
SPEAKER_00
Because I feel like people who go to work will be in traffic at that hour, right?
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, OK, I m going to Google it.
2
SPEAKER_01
Why did Xena come on during the day?
2
SPEAKER_02
Was it during the day when it first came out?
2
SPEAKER_02
Or was it during the day when they were showing reruns?
2
SPEAKER_01
Oh, maybe, maybe, maybe.
2
SPEAKER_00
I guess I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
I thought I was watching it in real time.
2
SPEAKER_00
Me too.
2
SPEAKER_00
I guess I don t actually know.
2
SPEAKER_00
I guess it started in 1995.
2
Let s see.
2
We re in my life today.
2
SPEAKER_02
1995.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, in 95, I feel like during the day on those channels, you mostly had whatever soaps were happening.
2
SPEAKER_02
And then it was like, whatever talk show host, if it was Oprah, if it was whomever talk show hosts were going on, I m around like three or four.
2
SPEAKER_02
And then after like five is when
3
SPEAKER_01
the more mainstream shows would be on.
3
SPEAKER_01
But I could be wrong.
3
SPEAKER_01
I was four in 95.
3
SPEAKER_01
Mm-hmm.
3
SPEAKER_02
Okay, so I found on Reddit, in New York and Boston areas, Xena aired on Saturdays at 9 p.m.
3
SPEAKER_02
for the first three to four years.
3
SPEAKER_02
It switched to 8 p.m.
3
SPEAKER_02
at some point, swapping time slots with Hercules.
3
SPEAKER_02
And by season six, I believe it was moved to 1 p.m.
3
SPEAKER_02
Oh, I guess when it was in syndication.
3
SPEAKER_02
I guess that s when they aired it earlier?
3
SPEAKER_01
On Saturdays though, right?
3
SPEAKER_01
On Saturdays.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_02
Interesting.
3
SPEAKER_02
This is the riveting conversations people tune into our podcast for.
3
SPEAKER_02
What time did Xena in Hercules air?
3
SPEAKER_03
I feel like 9 p.m.
3
SPEAKER_03
on a Saturday is a death slot.
3
SPEAKER_03
It feels like that s when you don t want a show to be watched.
3
SPEAKER_03
But maybe I guess maybe at the time people were watching TV 9 p.m.
3
SPEAKER_02
on Saturday.
3
SPEAKER_02
I mean, probably, I don t know, in the 90s?
3
SPEAKER_02
I m going out.
3
SPEAKER_03
That s what I would think.
3
SPEAKER_03
I feel like people would be out, but I guess if you have families?
3
SPEAKER_03
Oh, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
What were you guys doing back then on Saturday nights?
3
SPEAKER_02
Watching Xena, obviously.
3
SPEAKER_02
I think, yeah, I was in elementary school watching Xena stand up later than I needed to be.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, so I guess, you know, there s an audience, clearly.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, for the kids and people with families.
3
SPEAKER_02
Mm-hmm.
3
SPEAKER_02
Boy, oh boy.
3
SPEAKER_02
Lucy Lawless, right?
3
SPEAKER_03
Mm-hmm.
3
SPEAKER_02
Wow.
3
SPEAKER_03
Wow.
3
SPEAKER_02
What s she doing now?
3
SPEAKER_02
I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_02
Let s look at her IMDb.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, this is what this show is.
3
SPEAKER_02
Wondering where someone is and then Googling it.
3
SPEAKER_03
Do you remember their musical episode?
3
SPEAKER_03
I liked it.
3
SPEAKER_03
Of Xena?
3
SPEAKER_03
Oh, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
They had a full musical episode.
3
SPEAKER_03
No!
3
SPEAKER_00
This week... We came here for the truth.
3
SPEAKER_00
The warrior princess will be put to the ultimate test.
3
SPEAKER_00
All right, Kelly Stone.
3
SPEAKER_00
Where are we?
3
SPEAKER_00
Xena, be warned.
3
SPEAKER_00
Xena, beware.
3
SPEAKER_00
By closing your eyes, you can see what isn t there.
3
SPEAKER_00
Xena, be calm.
3
SPEAKER_00
Open your eyes.
3
SPEAKER_00
Lies may be truth, and truth may be lies.
3
SPEAKER_00
Battle on, Xena.
3
SPEAKER_00
Coming up next...

SPEAKER_03
I wanna see Lucy Lawless solve crimes.
3
SPEAKER_03
What network is it on?
3
SPEAKER_03
I m not really seeing.
3
SPEAKER_03
I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_03
I don t know why IMDB s not telling me.
3
SPEAKER_02
Sometimes IMDB is a gatekeeper.
3
SPEAKER_02
And they say, we won t let you know what this cool show is on.
3
SPEAKER_02
Sorry about it.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I have no clue.
3
SPEAKER_02
Dumb.
3
SPEAKER_01
It s an Australian, New Zealand murder mystery crime.
3
SPEAKER_01
And it just says Network 10.
3
SPEAKER_02
Oh, is she New Zealand?
3
SPEAKER_01
Is she New Zealand?
3
SPEAKER_03
Is she?
3
SPEAKER_03
I won t fix that.
3
SPEAKER_03
Is she New Zealand?
3
SPEAKER_03
I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_03
I don t have no idea where she s from.
3
SPEAKER_01
Oh, I guess I can look that up.
3
SPEAKER_01
She was born Mount Albert, Auckland, New Zealand.
3
SPEAKER_02
Oh, so she is New Zealand.
3
SPEAKER_02
She is New Zealand.
3
SPEAKER_02
Well, should we help people?
3
Oh, sure.
3
SPEAKER_03
Let s help people.
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
Hi, I m a longtime fan of Nicole and Sashir, but have only recently started listening to the pod.
3
SPEAKER_03
Sashir inspired me with drum lessons, and I decided to sign up for classes to learn a new skill, and I landed on improv.
3
SPEAKER_03
My local theater is offering a six-week course, so I signed up.
3
SPEAKER_03
My question is, do you both remember your first improv class?
3
SPEAKER_03
How did you feel going into it?
3
SPEAKER_03
Did you think it would launch a career in comedy?
3
SPEAKER_03
What is your most memorable improv experience?
3
SPEAKER_03
Hmm.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, do you remember your first class this year?
3
SPEAKER_03
I can t remember the actual first class.
3
SPEAKER_03
I remember my class.
3
SPEAKER_03
Like I remember Sylvia Azul was my teacher.
3
SPEAKER_03
I think I can remember some faces from that class.
3
SPEAKER_03
And we all were like, it was a huge mix of people too.
3
SPEAKER_03
It was like people who were like,
3
SPEAKER_03
um real adults who were probably there to like learn public speaking or be more comfortable on their feet and then like comedy nerds who were like just out of college like me and and then we d all like get drinks after we were like we re gonna do this together
3
SPEAKER_03
We love each other. 
3
SPEAKER_03
And we like, of course, never saw each other again.
3
SPEAKER_02
I think mine was, my teacher was also Sylvia Ozles.
3
SPEAKER_02
It was a mix of like lawyers, comedy people, writers, and...
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I mean, we didn t really go out, but we did have this email chain to be like, let s go see shows together.
3
SPEAKER_02
And I was like, I won t see a single show with any of you people.
3
SPEAKER_02
I ll figure it out on my own.
3
SPEAKER_02
And I didn t really start making friends until like 201, because that s when we did an indie team or whatever.
3
SPEAKER_02
But I don t remember being nervous.
3
SPEAKER_02
I feel like I would be nervous now.
3
SPEAKER_02
But yeah, I just remember being like, here s the thing I m doing.
3
SPEAKER_02
All right, going to this weird place and gonna sit in a classroom and make shit up with people.
3
SPEAKER_02
And then it was fun.
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, I remember being more excited than fearful.
3
SPEAKER_03
And I don t think I knew that you could make a career out of comedy until...
3
SPEAKER_03
Well, I guess it was sometime within the first year of me doing improv because I remember seeing shows and being like, oh, I ve seen that guy on TV and he s on this stage and I ve seen that guy on TV or this commercial or whatever.
3
SPEAKER_03
And they re all here or they all came from here.
3
SPEAKER_03
So I think I eventually put it together like, oh, this is kind of where people get plucked or seen because you perform here enough, you start booking stuff or you at least get an agent who can send you out for stuff or whatever.
3
SPEAKER_03
But that s not what I knew before I started taking the class.
3
SPEAKER_03
I figured that out later.
3
SPEAKER_02
Same.
3
SPEAKER_02
I think it was like a couple years in where I was like, Oh, I can like book a commercial.
3
SPEAKER_02
Oh man.
3
SPEAKER_02
Okay.
3
SPEAKER_02
But I was really focused on like, I was like, I want to be a teacher.
3
SPEAKER_02
I want to teach improv and I would like practice in the mirror and be like, hi, I m Nicole, your improv teacher.
3
SPEAKER_02
And then when I started coaching, I was like, Oh, some people are not meant to be teachers.
3
SPEAKER_02
I am one of them.
3
SPEAKER_02
I, I know how to do it.
3
SPEAKER_02
I just can t articulate it to you.
3
SPEAKER_03
I found an old coaching notebook of mine recently and.
3
SPEAKER_03
I was really into it, I liked thinking of exercises, I liked thinking of new forms and new games that people could play.
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, I remember being really nerdy about it and now I m like, I.
3
SPEAKER_03
Couldn t care less.
3
SPEAKER_02
I mean, I remember I was coaching this one group of kids.
3
SPEAKER_02
I mean, they weren t kids.
3
SPEAKER_02
I think some of them were older than me.
3
SPEAKER_02
People.
3
SPEAKER_02
And I was like, do you want to be good or do you want to have fun?
3
SPEAKER_02
And they re like, have fun.
3
SPEAKER_02
And we re like, woo.
3
SPEAKER_02
So we would just do silly scenes and stuff.
3
SPEAKER_02
And then they were like, we re having great shows.
3
SPEAKER_02
And I was like, well, ride that high because I m not teaching you fundamentals.
3
SPEAKER_02
It s gonna end soon. 
3
SPEAKER_02
And then they like had a rehearsal where they were like, or a practice session, they were like, we had such a bad show and da-da-da-da-da.
3
SPEAKER_02
And I was like, okay, well, uh, you want me to teach you fundamentals?
3
SPEAKER_02
And they were like, yes.
3
SPEAKER_02
And then they disbanded because they were like, we re not having fun anymore.
3
SPEAKER_02
And I was like, well, you should have done the fundamentals first, but I should have just teach them.
3
SPEAKER_02
I should have just been like, we ll just do fundamental.
3
SPEAKER_02
Like, I ll just teach you the basics of improv.
3
SPEAKER_02
And I was like, have fun.
3
SPEAKER_03
But that s also what class is for.
3
SPEAKER_03
They already have classes that teach them the fundamentals.
3
SPEAKER_03
And you asked, you said, do you want to have fun or do you want to work?
3
SPEAKER_03
And I said,
4
SPEAKER_01
Fun.
4
SPEAKER_01
Fun.
4
SPEAKER_02
It is fundamentals.
4
SPEAKER_01
It is fundamentals.
4
SPEAKER_01
Then I had this other group where I was like, oh, I can t even help you have fun.
4
SPEAKER_01
I was like, I m sorry, I m a little too busy.
4
SPEAKER_01
I wasn t busy.
4
SPEAKER_01
I just was like, y all are not good.
4
SPEAKER_01
But anyway, improv is just fun.
4
SPEAKER_01
Just have fun.
4
SPEAKER_02
It s so much fun.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, you ll meet people.
4
SPEAKER_02
You know, the people who are still in my life are people I ve met through improv.
4
SPEAKER_02
So you can you can get a lot out of it.
4
SPEAKER_02
And and hopefully it s fun.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
So.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
Give us another one, Jordan.
4
SPEAKER_02
Chiraco wasn t a group with me.
4
SPEAKER_02
And we were better at hanging out than performing together.
4
SPEAKER_02
We loved hanging out.
4
SPEAKER_02
We were like, we were so compatible as people.
4
SPEAKER_02
But for some reason, it didn t make any sense.
4
SPEAKER_02
Because also everyone is like talented and writing for TV and directing.
4
SPEAKER_02
And we re like, and for some reason, we just couldn t, we couldn t get it together and have a good show.
4
SPEAKER_01
That is very funny.
4
SPEAKER_01
I feel like that is a weird phenomenon where you re like, God, we work as, you know, friends.
4
SPEAKER_01
But yeah, we just can t be good.
4
SPEAKER_01
That was like my first team.
4
SPEAKER_01
I really liked everybody.
4
SPEAKER_01
Everybody was like also older than me.
4
SPEAKER_01
So we all had different references.
4
SPEAKER_01
And
4
SPEAKER_01
Boy, oh boy, we had some stinky shows, but then we had some fun shows.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, and that s the magic of improv.
4
SPEAKER_02
You never know.
4
SPEAKER_02
It could be amazing or the worst thing you ve ever done.
4
SPEAKER_01
And that s improv, baby.
4
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_01
Hi, Nicole, Sashir, and the rest of the crew.
4
SPEAKER_01
Much love for you and your podcast from Berlin, Germany.
4
SPEAKER_01
I m a big fan of your podcast and all of your individual work.
4
SPEAKER_01
I m in a bit of an awkward situation with a neighbor of mine, which is going on for, I guess, over one and a half years because I m starting to think I need help with that because I don t know how to act anymore.
4
SPEAKER_01
So here we go.
4
SPEAKER_01
I moved into my flat about two and a half years ago.
4
SPEAKER_01
That s apartment for people who live in the States.
4
SPEAKER_01
It s a bit of a bigger apartment complex.
4
SPEAKER_01
See, clarified later.
4
SPEAKER_01
And luckily we have an elevator or a lift, not common here at all.
4
SPEAKER_01
Usually they just make you walk up and down to your flat apartment on the fifth or sixth floor.
4
SPEAKER_01
Naturally, in that said elevator or lift, you meet your neighbors and some of them often, some more often, wait, what?
4
SPEAKER_01
Some more often, some never.
4
SPEAKER_01
There we go.
4
SPEAKER_01
So from when I first moved in, I kept running, I kept on running into a guy with his little son.
4
SPEAKER_02
One day, maybe six months later, I was next door at the supermarket waiting in line, or the queue, at the checkout when I saw what I thought was that neighbor and his son.
4
SPEAKER_02
So little friendly me gave him a big smile and I said hi.
4
SPEAKER_02
But that guy just looked at me, first confused, then after a bit smiled back.
4
SPEAKER_02
Okay, I thought, maybe he didn t recognize me.
4
SPEAKER_02
It took a couple weeks meeting my neighbor in the elevator again that I realized the guy at the supermarket was not my neighbor.
4
SPEAKER_02
And it couldn t hear, but turns out that fake neighbor was also living in the apartment complex one house down.
4
SPEAKER_02
And we kept seeing each other near the house, on the street, all over the time.
4
SPEAKER_02
And let me tell you, it has been a wild ride of us saying hi sometimes, sometimes just smiling, sometimes not.
4
SPEAKER_02
And sometimes we re not recognizing each other.
4
SPEAKER_02
It is so confusing since one and a half years.
4
SPEAKER_02
So my question is, what should I do?
4
SPEAKER_02
Should I just stop him next time and tell him the whole story that I confused him with another neighbor?
4
SPEAKER_02
Haha, so funny.
4
SPEAKER_02
We actually are neighbors.
4
SPEAKER_02
Or should I stay consistent and say hi every time, ignore him, start running away when I see him?
4
SPEAKER_02
I d really appreciate your input.
4
SPEAKER_01
I think you should tell him.
4
SPEAKER_01
I think that s really funny to be like, I m sorry I keep saying hello to you.
4
SPEAKER_01
I thought you were somebody else, but then I keep seeing you because you are actually my neighbor.
4
SPEAKER_01
So that s why I said hello to you in the first place.
4
SPEAKER_01
But now it s a fun thing that I giggle about to myself.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I think that would be nice.
4
SPEAKER_02
I think also part of me worries that because it s not, nothing actually happened.
4
SPEAKER_02
Like even if, even if you didn t confuse this person for another person, it s okay to smile at people.
4
SPEAKER_02
And that, and especially since you see this person consistently, you could just be like,
4
SPEAKER_02
Hey, I see you all the time and I think you live near me.
4
SPEAKER_02
Like I m blah, blah, blah.
4
SPEAKER_02
And then he ll say his name.
4
SPEAKER_02
And then now you know each other and you know your neighbors.
4
SPEAKER_02
And it s not like he s not like, who s this person who keeps smiling at me?
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, because also, I think if I was in the situation and I told that story, I think I d be worried that the person would be like, cool story, bro.
4
SPEAKER_02
Like, oh, you thought I was just a different neighbor?
4
SPEAKER_02
Awesome.
4
SPEAKER_02
Like, there s not much I hear.
4
SPEAKER_02
And that person also probably doesn t think it s awkward.
4
SPEAKER_02
I mean, maybe they do, but they probably... I think we make up stories in our heads sometimes of like, they must think I m so weird because I m smiling all the time.
4
SPEAKER_02
That s actually a nice gesture.
4
SPEAKER_02
And if they re smiling back, at least some of the times, I don t think they have a problem with it.
4
SPEAKER_02
So I think you could just say, hi, I live around this area.
4
SPEAKER_02
That s probably why I see you all the time.
4
SPEAKER_02
Do you?
4
SPEAKER_02
And he ll be like, I do.
4
SPEAKER_02
And then here s my name.
4
SPEAKER_02
And so next time I see you, I ll actually know who I m talking to as opposed to just like, I think I know that person.
4
SPEAKER_02
and then you ll fuck.
4
SPEAKER_02
And that ll be your husband.
4
SPEAKER_02
Congratulations.
4
SPEAKER_01
Congrats.
4
SPEAKER_01
And you ll have a kid.
4
SPEAKER_01
Isn t that fun?
4
SPEAKER_01
Automatic family.
4
SPEAKER_01
Wow.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, I think you re probably right.
4
SPEAKER_01
I m constantly like, this person needs to know why I m doing this and I need to tell them exactly the reason why.
4
SPEAKER_01
But yeah, I m the main character in my story.
4
SPEAKER_01
This person s probably not even thinking of me past the smile.
4
SPEAKER_01
So yeah, it s just like, oh, I think we re neighbors.
4
SPEAKER_01
Nice to meet you.
4
SPEAKER_01
I m Slavana.
4
SPEAKER_02
Oh, Slavana.
4
SPEAKER_01
I was trying to think of a German name and that s not a good one.
4
SPEAKER_01
Greta, I m Greta.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I mean, there s nothing wrong if you do tell the story.
4
SPEAKER_02
But either way, just talk to them.
4
SPEAKER_02
Just say hi.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, just say, hi.
4
SPEAKER_01
Or, guten tag.
4
SPEAKER_01
Wait, where are they?
4
SPEAKER_01
I thought they were in the UK.
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh, I thought it said Germany.
4
SPEAKER_00
Is that what it said?
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh, it s Germany.
4
SPEAKER_00
So they can say guten Morgen if they see them in the morning.
4
SPEAKER_00
Guten Morgen.
4
SPEAKER_00
What s guten tag?
4
SPEAKER_00
Guten tag.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s got to be, because I know guten is good.
4
SPEAKER_00
I forget what tag is.
4
SPEAKER_00
My sister lived in Germany in Nuremberg for five years.
4
SPEAKER_00
Guten tag.
4
SPEAKER_00
Let me see.
4
SPEAKER_00
Guten tag.
4
SPEAKER_00
Good day.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yes, you re right.
4
SPEAKER_00
Guten tag.
4
SPEAKER_00
Good day.
4
SPEAKER_00
Guten tag.
4
SPEAKER_02
There you go.
4
SPEAKER_02
Guten tagging to you.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m assuming the person writing it is German, right?
4
SPEAKER_00
I m assuming.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think so.
4
SPEAKER_00
They also could be like my sister who was a transplant for a little bit and then moved back to the US.
4
SPEAKER_00
I agree with you guys.
4
SPEAKER_00
I also feel like I would make a bit out of it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, every time I saw him, I would do something different.
4
SPEAKER_00
Or I would have a new hat every time I saw him.
4
SPEAKER_00
How would you arrange that, Jordan?
4
SPEAKER_00
I would figure it out.
4
SPEAKER_00
I love doing, like, random tricks.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, one time I... What?
4
SPEAKER_00
You like doing random tricks?
4
SPEAKER_01
I love doing random tricks.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like I m trying to work out a plan where I can buy like tiny ducks and every time I go visit my sister and like I ll just place a duck randomly in her house.
4
SPEAKER_00
One time I sent like Halloween masks to her house and she got so freaked out and she s like, I don t know who s sending these masks to me.
4
SPEAKER_00
And then like six months later, it was like, it was me.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, oh my goodness.
4
SPEAKER_01
Oh no.
4
SPEAKER_01
That s pretty funny.
4
SPEAKER_01
I like that.
4
SPEAKER_01
Oh no.
4
SPEAKER_01
I once sent pillows to Sasheer as a bit and then I forgot the bit.
4
SPEAKER_01
It took too long for the pillows to come.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
It was like, um, I mean, I still, I don t even, it seems sincere.
4
SPEAKER_02
Cause they were best friends.
4
SPEAKER_02
They were friends.
4
SPEAKER_02
They were pillows.
4
SPEAKER_02
It s literally said best friends.
4
SPEAKER_02
And you like broke them apart, like as a heart.
4
SPEAKER_02
And I was like, Oh, how cute.
4
SPEAKER_02
But I, it had my real name on the package.
4
SPEAKER_02
So I thought it was like,
4
SPEAKER_02
for the show or something like that?
4
SPEAKER_02
And then I asked if you also got it, and you were like, no, I sent them, it s a bit.
4
SPEAKER_02
And I was like, I don t see a joke here.
4
SPEAKER_01
What s up?
4
SPEAKER_01
There was a defined idea that I was going to execute that I simply don t remember.
4
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_01
It was going to be really funny too.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_01
I remember.
4
SPEAKER_01
I remember being like, because I didn t even send them to your house.
4
SPEAKER_01
I sent it to your PO box.
4
SPEAKER_01
So it wouldn t seem like it was from me.
4
SPEAKER_02
And it didn t seem like it was from you.
4
SPEAKER_01
And I wish I could remember.
5
SPEAKER_01
It s also okay if you just send me best friend pillows.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s not what I did!
5
SPEAKER_01
It feels like that s what you did.
5
SPEAKER_00
No!
5
SPEAKER_00
Why would I send?
5
SPEAKER_00
No!
5
SPEAKER_00
I had to look up your P.O.
5
SPEAKER_00
boxes.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t have it readily available.
5
SPEAKER_00
I had to sift through emails.
5
SPEAKER_00
It took a long time.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I don t remember why.
5
SPEAKER_00
Huh.
5
SPEAKER_00
All right.
5
SPEAKER_01
Well, thanks for the pillow.

SPEAKER_00
Yeah, no worries.
