217: Short for Nobody

Brett

[00:00:00]Brett: [00:00:00] Welcome to overtired. I’m Brett Terpstra. I’m here with Christina Warren. How are you, Christina?

[00:00:05]Christina: [00:00:05] I’m okay. Um, it’s been kind of a crappy week if I can be totally honest, but I’m happy to be here with you.

[00:00:13] Brett: [00:00:13] well, I’m happy. You’re here with me. What? Anything specific? Crappy.

[00:00:18]Christina: [00:00:18] So, uh, I was robbed.

[00:00:22] Brett: [00:00:22] That’s crappy.

[00:00:24] Christina: [00:00:24] Yeah. So, okay. Like, My apartment wasn’t broken into meaning like my personal apartment wasn’t broken into, but I live in, uh, I think that it’s fair to call it a luxury apartment building. I think that would be the appropriate way to define it. I think when you pay as much money in rent as we do, and, and you know, the way that it certainly sells itself on the website and the amenities that it offers and whatnot, I think that’s.

[00:00:53] I think that’s how it would do, but this is important for the context.

[00:00:55] Brett: [00:00:55] Sure. Sure.

[00:00:56] Christina: [00:00:56] th th th th uh, so it’s it’s cause for instance, [00:01:00] if this had happened, when I lived in New York city, when I lived in Brooklyn, I would not have been, I mean, I would be upset, but it wouldn’t be the same sort of thing. This like adds to the violation, but so we pay 3,900 for rent.

[00:01:14] We pay $300 a month for parking. And there’s a secured package area where you have to like we’re packages are delivered and it is outside, um, accessible through like an access card in the garage. Well, crack heads got a crack head and they broke into that room during Thanksgiving weekend and, uh, robbed it. And that included a bunch of packages of things that I had ordered over Thanksgiving. So I lost . I lost a very expensive pair of off white sneakers. I lost a switch that I bought for grant for Christmas. I lost, um, a bunch of other stuff and, uh, [00:02:00] all in all, um, it’s been very, very expensive. Um, Process. And now I get to deal with police reports and insurance companies and, and whatnot.

[00:02:11] Oh. And, and incidentally, even though it is completely, in my opinion, the responsibility and the just absolute incompetency of the complex, they of course take no responsibility.

[00:02:22] Brett: [00:02:22] Oh, well that sucks. But on the, on the bright side, Just imagine being someone who was so desperate, they had to break into a secure package areas and imagine how good a day they had,

[00:02:40] Christina: [00:02:40] Oh,

[00:02:40] Brett: [00:02:40] like you made their

[00:02:42] Christina: [00:02:42] Fuck off. Fuck off, dude. I have. Absolutely. No I, no, no, no, no, no, no, absolutely not. Absolutely not. Fuck off. no,

[00:02:51] Brett: [00:02:51] I have been. I have been both mugged and I’ve had my apartment broken into and, and what little I had stolen. [00:03:00] Uh, this is all all happened back in college. I, it does not happen to me these days. I live in a, uh, fairly secure small town, but back then I had both experiences and I have to say, I would rather be mugged.

[00:03:14] Um, mugging feels like a very, uh, personal violation, but you kind of focus it on one person who did this bad thing to you, and it leads to fear and it is a violation, but something about having your, your shit broken into. Feels a lot more, uh, like random, like maybe the whole world is bad and you start seeing, uh, evil everywhere you serve here.

[00:03:38] Like nothing you have is secure anymore. Like that. I hate that feeling.

[00:03:43] Christina: [00:03:43] Yeah. And that’s kind of it, and it’s kind of like, and then like, you’d like, look in, you’re like, okay, well, how did I, you know, like, um, like, Like, what did I do? Like, could there have been something I could’ve done to prevent this? Or like, what can I trust anybody? And then the big thing for me is it’s like, you know, [00:04:00] again, like if I lived in Brooklyn and we didn’t have, you know, like a secure drop-off area and we didn’t have all of this, like pretensive security and they just put stuff on the fucking stoop, like.

[00:04:14] You know, if something got stolen off of the stoop, you get it. But, but there’s this other level of just like anger that I have of not just like the violation. Cause you do feel the violation, you feel like, can I trust anything? But also it’s just like the complete ineptitude of the building, like the complete and utter ineptitude of the building and like their response to this is to basically be like, okay, well we hired a locksmith to add a better lock and I’m like, crack heads are gonna crack head

[00:04:40] Brett: [00:04:40] well, and you’re still putting the entire luxury apartments shipping. Uh, right before Christmas, you’re putting it all in one a one-stop shop for somebody

[00:04:52] Christina: [00:04:52] Yes. Yes. And,

[00:04:54] Brett: [00:04:54] have good security.

[00:04:55] Christina: [00:04:55] and, and it’s, and it, well, this is the thing. And then it’s like, they have other options and I, and I [00:05:00] emailed them. Cause when I asked them, I was like, you haven’t taken security seriously, you haven’t done anything. I sent them a pretty, like. Because here’s the thing, like I can, I can rant and vent with people, but if I’m going to actually have a conversation with them, I’m going to be pretty precise.

[00:05:12] And I was like, you haven’t taken security seriously at all. I don’t have any trust or faith in you or this building or this, you know, very, very, very wealthy, um, you know, um, building company like that, the management company that owns the building are worth. Billions of dollars. So like, I, you know what I mean?

[00:05:30] Like I like, they, they, they are they’re highfalutin. Like, you know, it’s, it’s no skin off their nose, anything that happens, but I’m like, I have no faith in you. And they’re like, no, we had taken, I’m going to push back. We do take security seriously. I’m like, no, you don’t Grant’s car has been broken into twice in the last month.

[00:05:47] He doesn’t even lock his car anymore because he doesn’t want them to break the damn windows. So. His car has been broken into twice in the last month. You don’t care. We found someone living in the crawlspace, [00:06:00] um, at one point, which is horrifying on multiple levels in, in the garage.

[00:06:05] Brett: [00:06:05] Oh, okay. Thought you meant like in your apartment, that would have been awkward.

[00:06:08] Christina: [00:06:08] Uh, that would have been awkward, but, but still, I mean, it’s, it’s in the building,

[00:06:12] Brett: [00:06:12] Yeah.

[00:06:13] Christina: [00:06:13] where like people are breaking in and then potentially watching you and, and whatnot. And like, and I have sympathy to a certain extent for the crack heads, but to be completely honest, my sympathy stops when you are like breaking into, you know, um, package rooms or cars and, and that sort of thing.

[00:06:30] Like that’s when, like, I, I, um, I might be a bad person for that, but that’s, that’s when I got the point where I’m like, yeah, I actually don’t care anymore. You’re like actively violating, um, you know,

[00:06:42] Brett: [00:06:42] well, because then it’s inconvenient for you super sympathetic until, until they take something from you.

[00:06:50] Christina: [00:06:50] Well, I mean, the thing is, is it’s like, it’s not even about an inconvenient. It’s like, you’re actually committing a crime. Like

[00:06:56] Brett: [00:06:56] sure. But the whole point of sympathy is [00:07:00] to look at. What, what happened through make that person need to do that? And a person who’s who is gainfully employed or has their needs taken care of doesn’t break into other people’s stuff?

[00:07:12] Christina: [00:07:12] I mean, hopefully, and, and, and yeah, and I can I, and again, I just be honest, like, I’m sorry that they’re drug addicts. I’m also sorry that we don’t have safety nets for them. That doesn’t mean that I’m going to be like, yes, please.

[00:07:24] Brett: [00:07:24] Well, sure. Yeah, no, I get that.

[00:07:26] Christina: [00:07:26] B, B, because the thing is, is like, yeah, you know, cause some people are like, Oh, well, you know, must be nice.

[00:07:32] You can, you know, afford to deal with insurance. All of a sudden I was like, okay, well, first of all, I work really hard for my money. Like, and, and I worked really hard for the things that I got. And also it’s not as if I buy all these things all the time. Some of these things were Christmas gifts were, you know, things for other people.

[00:07:48] The PSI for instance, was for someone else.

[00:07:51] Brett: [00:07:51] well, this is, this is prime time to be sealing packages right now.

[00:07:55] Christina: [00:07:55] absolutely. And, and so, you know, any, the response to the apartment complex was just [00:08:00] like completely to me, just insufficient. I was just like, no, you clearly don’t take this stuff seriously. And when we had an old bully manager, she actually had said, okay, cause they, they, they offer these things where you can have these secured delivery lockers where, um, They’re like, they’re expensive, but, but they are in solid buildings and people have lockers and then you have to enter in a code to access the

[00:08:21] Brett: [00:08:21] right. Yeah.

[00:08:23] Christina: [00:08:23] And she, our old building manager had looked at, at getting them and she was like, it’d be about $40,000. And I’m thinking, I’m like, okay, so you charge a $10 a month surcharge to people living in the building, like fine. Um, people would pay it, you know, um, or I don’t know, just a thought you have an, you have a room.

[00:08:42] On the inside of the lobby that you could be using for the package delivery room, rather than having something outside that’s in the garage, which, you know, like we consistently have a problem with. And, and the fact is that when they’re trying to tell me the straight face, Oh, we care about security and I’m like, Grant’s [00:09:00] car has been broken into twice in the last month.

[00:09:02] No, you don’t like if you cared about it, you would hire. A security person. She watched over the garage, which would be very expensive. But if you cared about it, that’s what you would do. Like if it would actually affect their bottom line at all, they would do it. And that’s what bothers me because it’s like, again, if I lived in a building that cost less, that didn’t sell itself as doing what it does and it didn’t have the sole delivery place, be what it is then I wouldn’t be as angry at them.

[00:09:30] Like I’m actually more angry the building than I am at the crackhead. Like, honestly, Like to me, that, that I’m like a lot more frustrated with that, but the whole thing has just been anxiety written and like, and this is where I’m going to be come. And sufferable a little bit, but like, yeah, even though this is maybe not the best way to deal with the pandemic, one of the ways I’ve been dealing with this whole thing has been by like with blatant consumerism has been like one of the only things that makes me feel like I have control over anything is [00:10:00] to like, get things for myself or for other people.

[00:10:02] And then when that’s taken away too, it’s like, well, You know, there’s like nothing that I can do to like, even feel slightly better because I don’t even have any trust that if I buy anything that I’m going to be able to actually get it. And that I won’t literally just be flushing money down the toilet, um, which is not a good feeling.

[00:10:21] And I don’t have any trust that this very expensive place that I live, like. You know, it has my best interest at heart or anything. And then I do also think about things I’m like, yeah. You know, if I didn’t leave my apartment, if I didn’t, if I actually went outside, like, would I feel safe that somebody wouldn’t just be able to break in to, you know, the building and just go door to door and start robbing places.

[00:10:45]Brett: [00:10:45] so, Oh my God. I could. Today’s episode is brought to you by Headspace, which is great for, you know, finding comfort during a pandemic, but we’re going to wait a couple minutes to do a Headspace ad. Um, [00:11:00] so do you want some good news? Do you want to cheer up?

[00:11:03] Christina: [00:11:03] some good news. I definitely want to cheer

[00:11:04] Brett: [00:11:04] So listeners know that, uh, last week I was grieving the loss of we had to put down a nine month old kitten and, and that was tragic.

[00:11:17] Yeah. So I, we had, you know, we were going to take some time and emotionally recover and, um, And, you know, see what happens. And then we get a call on Saturday night, a friend found a kitten, uh, like a two month, two month old kitten in a cemetery on its own. And they asked if we would, would take them in to shelter until the humane society opened up on Monday.

[00:11:46] And I immediately was like, yeah, I, I would love to, even for a couple of days, just have a kitten in the house and. They brought her over and she’s a long hair, which I had decided [00:12:00] if we got another kitten that I wanted a long hair. And, uh, at first she was scared and she was pancaking like when they crouched close to the ground and walk on their stomach.

[00:12:11] So I thought it was a munchkin cat. Okay. Turns out she’s she’s normal. Yeah. Uh, when she, uh, kinda opened up and now, like we have her, uh, in her own room to kind of give our elder cat his territory. Um, but. When you go into that room, she runs up to greet you. So it starts me out whittling. And if you lay down on the bed there, she’ll run onto your chest and just start purring and rubbing up against you.

[00:12:40] And she plays so energetically and it has been such a joy, even if we don’t keep her, it has been exactly what I needed for the last few days.

[00:12:51] Christina: [00:12:51] Oh, I’m so glad. I’m so glad. So have you given her a

[00:12:54] Brett: [00:12:54] I have, well, actually, yeah, L named her there’s a book by, uh, Neil Gaiman [00:13:00] called the graveyard book, uh, in which a baby, uh, escapes a gruesome murder and is, uh, he makes his way to the graveyard. Where he is basically adopted by ghosts and they name him, nobody. Uh, which is the name they use is Bob short for nobody.

[00:13:20] And, uh, because this kitten was found in the graveyard, we have named her pod.

[00:13:25]Christina: [00:13:25] That’s perfect. That’s perfect. I love that. That’s very, that’s very good. L like that’s like, fantastic. Um, so you don’t know if you’re going to keep her yet, but for right now, anyway, she’s like exactly what,

[00:13:37] Brett: [00:13:37] Yes. I, I have not even called the humane society yet. Uh, to the extent we, we may hold onto her long enough that it ends up being a surrender situation. And we actually probably have to pay a fee to like, get rid of her if we need to. So, um, we’ll see what happens, but, uh, but yeah, she’s and we still had all the kitten toys and everything, and we had [00:14:00] kitten food and kitten beds and, uh, and we had already kind of set the house up to deal with having a kitten and an elder cat.

[00:14:06] And so it was just kind of perfect timing and. This, like, we still carry a lot of sadness over Finnegan, but, uh, but this feels like almost like it was meant to be. And I’m not a con I’m not a guy who says that kind of thing, but everything just kind of fell into place for bod. So, so that’s my, that’s my happy news to contrast your crappy week.

[00:14:31] Christina: [00:14:31] That’s awesome. Well, that actually makes me really happy. I’m really happy to hear that. And I’m really happy that that bot is there. And, um, you know, look forward to hearing like what you guys decide what’s going to go into, I guess, your decision about whether or not you keep

[00:14:45] Brett: [00:14:45] Yeti. Uh, if Yeti, so while we had Finnegan, Yeti kind of, he moved his territory. Cats. Territorial. So, um, they kind of, they need their own space. And Yeti had moved into the [00:15:00] basement, which isn’t a furnished basement and it made me feel bad for him, but he was super content to like prowl and sleep down there.

[00:15:08] Um, but I really, once Finnegan was gone yet, he came back upstairs and was like following me around all day and sitting in my lap and I had missed that and it made me realize that I didn’t want to do anything to. Uh, forced Yeti out. So we’re doing this longer introduction period where they, uh, where bod has her own room.

[00:15:30] And, uh, trying to see if Yeti gets to a point where he’s comfortable. He immediately seems more comfortable with a female cat than a male cat. Um, Yeah, and I don’t, I don’t I’ve only, ever in recent years, I’ve only ever had male cats. So I don’t really know he was fine with his female litter mate. But anyway, like if Yeti comes around and, and will still be like my favorite cat in the world and we [00:16:00] get to have bought, then bud stays.

[00:16:02] Uh, if Yeti never gets used to having another cat in the house, then uh, then Bob will find a better home.

[00:16:11]Christina: [00:16:11] Gotcha. Gotcha. Well, all right. Fingers crossed that the Yeti become as comfortable, um, and, and that bod can stay, but, uh, otherwise I, I, I, I sounds like bod will, will be able to find a good home because

[00:16:26] Brett: [00:16:26] have you seen any of the pictures I posted? I’ve only, I’ve only posted a few, but, um, Yeah on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, but I don’t see your shit either. Like the algorithm does not want me to see the stuff you do. You pop up kind of randomly in my feeds, even though I follow you in all of those places anyways.

[00:16:47] Christina: [00:16:47] yeah, I was going to say same. I was going to say same, like yeah. The algorithm really is just like, yeah. We don’t care. We don’t, we don’t appreciate that. YouTube. Meanwhile, the algorithm, the way that Facebook works is that somebody who I don’t have [00:17:00] any connections with, other than somebody who I was emailing with and working on a project with came up as a suggested friend.

[00:17:05] Brett: [00:17:05] right. Freaky.

[00:17:06] Christina: [00:17:06] I’m like, I’m like, I’m like, okay, we don’t even live in the same state and you’re telling me you don’t search my emails. All right. Whatever

[00:17:17] Brett: [00:17:17] Never accept the suggested friends,

[00:17:19]Christina: [00:17:19] This, this,

[00:17:20] Brett: [00:17:20] find your own friends like that is exactly like one of the prime ways you feed the algorithm is accepting suggestions.

[00:17:29]Christina: [00:17:29] Yeah, no, that’s, that’s true. That’s true. What’s actually hilarious. Is I created an alt Facebook account once. Like there was a completely fake name. Didn’t I don’t even know if I had a photo. It was just because as I recall, this was a number of years ago. So, I don’t remember why I created it. I think I, I think that somebody like made you have a Facebook account, if you wanted to leave a comment on, on something.

[00:17:51] And like, I didn’t want to leave a comment under my actual name for whatever reason. And so it created this fake Facebook account and I [00:18:00] came back to that account and it had like dozens of friend requests, not a real person, not like, not a real thing. Had. Like dozens of friend requests. And so I accepted them just cause I was like, well,

[00:18:13] Brett: [00:18:13] burner account. Why not?

[00:18:15] Christina: [00:18:15] exactly why not, but, and then that led to other things.

[00:18:18] I’m like, okay, how did, like, how does this even happen? Right. Like, I didn’t even have details in this account for anything.

[00:18:26] Brett: [00:18:26] thing, you know, where you like spouting Q Anon conspiracies.

[00:18:29]Christina: [00:18:29] No, no, I think I forgot the login or whatever, but, but honestly, if I ever went back to it, if I reactivated that accounter or did something within, I think that would be the account that I would use to try to go into some of the more bananas,

[00:18:43] Brett: [00:18:43] Oh, sure. Yeah,

[00:18:45] Christina: [00:18:45] Because again, like, this is the problem and this is the problem that journalists always make.

[00:18:51] Like they, they joined those groups and then of course people figure them out because, you know, Like, if you just look at somebody’s profile, you can figure out what they’re doing or whatnot. And I’m [00:19:00] like, all right, that’s amateur hour. If you actually want to get into the groups, you need to use a burner account.

[00:19:04] And, uh, you know what I mean? Like, honestly, and, and, but then people that go well, that’s, that’s not ethical. And I’m like, it’s already quasi and ethical. If you’re trying to join these closed spaces to do reporting. Do it correctly, like actually like go into our cover, like, like don’t use your actual

[00:19:24] Brett: [00:19:24] I want, I want to. Get myself a burner email, which I sadly don’t have anymore. And a burner phone number. Cause my Google voice account got shut down and I want to, I want a parlor account so that I control parlor the way that they always troll me. I want to do that. But at the same time, I don’t want to, maybe I don’t need that in my life, but I kinda I’m tempted.

[00:19:52] Christina: [00:19:52] Yeah, I thought about that. I thought about that. Cause I, you have a Google voice account, but I’m like, I don’t want to give that my number just

[00:19:58] Brett: [00:19:58] well, and they,

[00:19:59] Christina: [00:19:59] an [00:20:00] actual burner.

[00:20:00] Brett: [00:20:00] they ask for social security numbers, not for like deep, like basic login, but to get like credentialed status, they want your social security number.

[00:20:10] Christina: [00:20:10] I know, I know it’s ridiculous. I’m like, who would actually give that over? Like who would actually turn that over? It’s like somebody who wants to be verified on parlor. Although I can’t imagine that that Maria Bartiromo actually gave her social security number of her. Although, I mean, I would love to think that she did,

[00:20:27] Brett: [00:20:27] well, I wonder if they’re verifying them in any way. Can you just give a fake social. For anyone, for anyone who doesn’t know parlor is this social network that, uh, kind of gained traction when all of the like very right-wing people started thinking that Facebook was specifically. Censoring them and Twitter was specifically censoring them and they’re like, fine.

[00:20:52] We’re taking our toys and we’re going to parlor. And there we can freely spout our, our, our conspiracy theories [00:21:00] and, and talk about the radical left. And, uh, it was, it’s kind of a playground for, uh, Nazis, I guess.

[00:21:09]Christina: [00:21:09] Well, yeah, although gap is really more, the playground for Nazis parlor seems to be more like the playground for like,

[00:21:17] Brett: [00:21:17] Nazi adjacent.

[00:21:18] Christina: [00:21:18] your, yeah. Or like your racist

[00:21:22] Brett: [00:21:22] Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.

[00:21:24] Christina: [00:21:24] Yeah, but, but like, whereas like, but like gab, which was, um, shut down or not shut down, but has like significantly had way less growth and Gabs apps for instance, are not available on the app store or Google play.

[00:21:41] Their browser extensions have been

[00:21:43] Brett: [00:21:43] right. Didn’t some of them, didn’t some of the major DNS and hosting companies cut gab off

[00:21:49] Christina: [00:21:49] yeah, they did. They did CloudFlare cut them off. Yeah, exactly. CloudFlare cut them off. And I think some of the other ones did too. Um, you know, like they they’ve really been, um, [00:22:00] they’ve had a hard time or, uh, their, their, their ICO did not do well

[00:22:05] Brett: [00:22:05] Are you being discriminated against? Uh,

[00:22:09] Christina: [00:22:09] Oh, I’m so sorry. What? Yeah, no, gab is, is, is a shit show.

[00:22:13] And, and in part, because, um, a lot of the Charlottesville Nazis, like legit Nazis were gap users and we’re, we’re promoting that stuff all over gab and like gab, for instance, like verified weave. And, uh, and then he got mad at gab because they weren’t, um, Hardcore enough for him. And he left, uh, like the whole, the whole thing was just disgusting, but parlor, like, they will actively sensor you if you’re sane.

[00:22:44] Uh, but they won’t like if you, if you, you know, use a lot of profanity or nudity or whatever, but they won’t, if you know, you’re all about spreading, you know, conspiracy theories, but I. Yeah, but I do imagine that that [00:23:00] parlor would be like, if you were trying to do some like very blatant Nazi shit, they’d be like, no, um,

[00:23:06] Brett: [00:23:06] you said the quiet part loud, tone it down.

[00:23:10]Christina: [00:23:10] That’s exactly it because it’s, because again, it’s, it’s your racist grandpa. It’s not like, you know, a skinhead who’s like being really like walking down the street and, and marching and, um, You know, um, uh, protest, you know, against, uh, democracy. Like again, like if you, if you say the quiet part out loud, then that’s, that’s not cool.

[00:23:31] But as long as you kind of, you know, say all the dog whistle stuff, that’s fine. But yeah, I’ve wanted to kind of play around with it, but I’m like, I will, I don’t even want to give them a Google voice number, to be honest. Like I have plenty of, I have plenty of burner email accounts. Like that’s not

[00:23:47] Brett: [00:23:47] Well, I wonder if they’re VR, I wonder. Yeah, I should see if they even text the number you give them, or if they can verify through email. Anyway, we’re not going to link any of this in the show notes. And if [00:24:00] you’re running to the show notes right now to check for links to any of these places, you are, um, you’re a horrible person and we don’t want you to listen to the show anymore. Fucking Nazis. Um, yeah. So anyway, have you seen the flight attendant?

[00:24:17]Christina: [00:24:17] I’ve seen the first episode

[00:24:19] Brett: [00:24:19] was a three episode. Premier. How have you only seen one episode?

[00:24:24] Christina: [00:24:24] because I had other stuff going on and I was watching the tape of the bell,

[00:24:29] Brett: [00:24:29] the new one? Oh God.

[00:24:32] Christina: [00:24:32] good. No, it’s really

[00:24:34] Brett: [00:24:34] No, it’s not. It can’t be,

[00:24:36]Christina: [00:24:36] Oh no, it actually is. I S I, I shit, you not, it’s actually

[00:24:41] Brett: [00:24:41] what if I never liked the original.

[00:24:43]Christina: [00:24:43] you might say he’ll find the new one. Funny. So the creator, the show runner is a 30 rock and Mindy project alum, and a guy who was the creator of Zack Morris has trashed the great YouTube series is one of the staff writers [00:25:00] and it’s self-aware and, uh, It’s it’s.

[00:25:05] It’s good. It’s really good. I’m really angry about it actually, because it’s really funny and good.

[00:25:12] Brett: [00:25:12] right. I’m probably, I’m probably not even going to give it a chance. I mean, I’ll put it in the show notes for people

[00:25:21] Christina: [00:25:21] I mean, that’s fine. It’s it’s on peacock. I get it. I might try to get it on my Plex so that you can, uh, watch it that

[00:25:28] Brett: [00:25:28] isn’t peacock free.

[00:25:30]Christina: [00:25:30] Yeah, but I think they have some premium stuff. And so I don’t know if this is one of those things that is freer is not free. I don’t know. Cause I, I have Comcast cable stupidly, which I need to cancel.

[00:25:41] And so I get peacock through that. But, um,

[00:25:45] Brett: [00:25:45] Um, so anyway,

[00:25:48] Christina: [00:25:48] so anyway, the flight attendants, uh, I did see like the, the first episode, cause I like, I like

[00:25:55] Brett: [00:25:55] Kelly. Yeah.

[00:25:57] Christina: [00:25:57] uh, She’s she’s good. And, and I’m [00:26:00] also, I’m like proud of her. I’m like, you never have to work again, like ever, and you’re still doing stuff.

[00:26:07] Like I, part of me just kind of expected her to go off with her horses and shit and like, you know,

[00:26:13] Brett: [00:26:13] yeah. After how many seasons on the big bang, it’s not like, yeah, a lot, a lot of

[00:26:19] Christina: [00:26:19] and like, they were well, well, and they were getting like 2 million an episode at the

[00:26:24] Brett: [00:26:24] Wow.

[00:26:25]Christina: [00:26:25] And they were getting the million an episode for a while. So she, like, when I say she never has to work again, like, that’s what I mean, like from residuals alone, she would never have to work again.

[00:26:34] But I mean, you know, she was there the highest paid TV people for like the, the, the three of them or one of her for quite a long time. The other cast members were paid well, but not like that, you know? So you, you feel, you feel bad for blossom a little bit. Um, but, uh, but Blossom’s also kind of a weirdo. So you kind of, don’t like, she’s one of those people who like, [00:27:00] is one of those, like the children sleep in the same bed as the parents until they’re like 15 types of people.

[00:27:07] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I know. I was kind of disappointed in that too. I was like, damn blossom. I’d really had higher hopes for

[00:27:13] Brett: [00:27:13] But anyway, Kaylee is super good in this show.

[00:27:18] Christina: [00:27:18] She is.

[00:27:19] Brett: [00:27:19] like she’s playing, uh, an alcoholic flight attendant who witnesses, or like literally wakes up in bed next to someone who’s dead, uh, murdered brutally murdered. And it’s, she plays this kind of frenzied alcoholic on the run from, uh, like a big.

[00:27:37] Conspiracy of some sort. Um, and it’s dramatic. It was, it was billed as a comedic thriller and I four episodes in, I can tell you absolutely it is not a comedy. Um, so I went into it with, with expectations that were not met, but as far as a thriller [00:28:00] goes, it is it’s downright delicious.

[00:28:02]Christina: [00:28:02] okay. I will watch, I will watch the rest of it that it’s available now. Cause I did like the first episode a lot. Um, and I did know it was a thriller going into it cause I saw some interview. She did and I was like, Oh, okay. This is actually an interesting kind of idea. I like this. So, um, I, I will give, I will watch the rest of it.

[00:28:22] Um, And I’m, I’m sorry to keep, to go back on this, but say for the fellows really

[00:28:27] Brett: [00:28:27] okay. Okay. Maybe I’ll give it one episode while I’m working on something else.

[00:28:33]Christina: [00:28:33] I mean, I, the only thing I’m going to say that like really impressed me is that they have, um, a trans character who is like, Kind of in the Lisa turtle role, like she’s like a cheerleader and she’s rich and popular and kind of inseparable, but in like kind of a, an endearing way. Um, and the way that they handle her character is awesome.

[00:28:54] And part of that was because they actually made the actress a producer and had her like, [00:29:00] be a consultant about how they would handle her storylines and stuff, which I thought was

[00:29:05] Brett: [00:29:05] that is cool. How are you watching the new season of big mouth?

[00:29:08]Christina: [00:29:08] Um, No, it’s on my list though. Cause I knew that they recast, uh, um, the character that Jenny slate had voiced, um, and, uh, which is pretty, which, which makes a lot of sense and is, uh, cool. But no, I haven’t seen that yet. Uh, but, but, um,

[00:29:27] Brett: [00:29:27] it is everything. Everything that made the first two seasons, um, pregnant. And, uh, um, what do you want? Honest is like amped up in season three. Um, they like in the first three episodes they’ve covered like, uh, heavy periods. They’ve covered, impacted colons. They’ve covered trans, uh, coming out. Too, like going to summer camp for the first time as a trans woman who was at the [00:30:00] camp last year as a boy and having to go through that kind of transition.

[00:30:07] And they’ve got this weird bisexual kid, uh, who. Has like sexual intercourse with pillows. Like they have a whole storyline with him and this like, uh, Lola, I don’t know if you remember the character she’s like this super, like, she wants to be a Valley girl, but she’s just like a Butch, a super giant. Uh, yeah, so they develop like a relationship and it’s, uh, it’s disgusting.

[00:30:36] Like I don’t watch it while you’re eating dinner. But at the same time, it’s super honest and real in a disgusting way.

[00:30:45]Christina: [00:30:45] Yeah, I was going to say that’s been my only hang up, I think from the reason I haven’t watched it. Cause I’ve, I’ve, I’ve been interested in it. It was that some of the. I remember, especially from like the first season, some of the stuff was like really, really gross in a way that I [00:31:00] was like, I don’t know if I love this.

[00:31:03] Um, there’s just, there’s a lot of semen in that show,

[00:31:07]Brett: [00:31:07] Hey,

[00:31:08]Christina: [00:31:08] there is,

[00:31:10] Brett: [00:31:10] is, this season seems to be a lot more about blood and shit. So, you know, it’s a trade off. Wasn’t there tool song about this, um,

[00:31:21] Christina: [00:31:21] I’m sure there was Maynard,

[00:31:24] Brett: [00:31:24] shit blood and come on my hands. That was a line,

[00:31:27] Christina: [00:31:27] okay.

[00:31:27] Brett: [00:31:27] um, prison, prison, sex, prison, something prison. Yeah. I don’t remember tool very well anyway. You know what last year was pretty stressful for everybody.

[00:32:57] Um, I am still [00:33:00] loving using the focus soundtracks while I’m working. I something, something switched for me. I used to be able to listen to. As long as I couldn’t understand the lyrics, I could listen to music. Uh, so like Atari, teenage riot and, and, and black metal, I could listen to find while I worked, but I can’t anymore.

[00:33:20] And I’ve been working with silence and these focus on tracks have been kind of the perfect in-between for me. Uh, if you haven’t tried them, Christina, you should.

[00:33:29]Christina: [00:33:29] Okay. I definitely, I definitely agree. And actually it’s funny because I hadn’t even thought of this, but I, but like I was, I was severely stressed yesterday.

[00:33:38] Brett: [00:33:38] I bet.

[00:33:39] Christina: [00:33:39] have actually, and I should have used Headspace, honestly.

[00:33:43] Brett: [00:33:43] minutes of that you would have been feeling fine. I mean, fine enough to call the insurance company.

[00:33:51]Christina: [00:33:51] yeah, well, I was part of the stress was being on the

[00:33:54] Brett: [00:33:54] Sure. That is super anxiety inducing.

[00:33:57]Christina: [00:33:57] without a doubt, so actually I’m not even [00:34:00] joking. Like I think this is gonna be one of those things after we finish our episode, that I’m going to be taking some time with Headspace.

[00:34:41]Christina: [00:34:41] let’s do some tech talk.

[00:34:43] Brett: [00:34:43] Um, do you use who to spot at all?

[00:34:46]Christina: [00:34:46] That’s like the search plugin thing. I think I’ve used it before, probably because I’ve read some, I’ve read something on your blog about it.

[00:34:56] Brett: [00:34:56] yeah, yeah. I’m a huge fan. Like I [00:35:00] are you spotlight all the time and I don’t. I don’t tend to have like deep folder systems because I just find everything with spotlight whenever spotlight fails me, and this is not an advertisement, I’m just a super happy user, uh, who to spot can always find the file I&
