Speaker 5 (03:48):
We're just gonna start asking questions. Maybe towards the end
we'll play a little like fire ball game. Yeah, it'll
get fun. But I'm just gonna go ahead and start.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
With Wait, but I have a question questions. Why don't
you have a drum roll sounds.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Good question, good question, unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I just don't understand the percussion that takes place in
this office.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
There it is, then slapper, That was good acept the answer?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
All right?

Speaker 5 (04:24):
First question, if someone offered you a box with everything
you've ever lost ever, like ever, what's the first thing
that you look for. And this is this is a
question for both of you.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
So who's answering first.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
You can go ahead. Seems like you've already answered it,
my grandma, I guess welcome, that's it.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I literally was like, what material things have I lost?
And then when you said that, I was like, Wow,
that's the biggest loss I've ever had.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
I'm sorry, thank.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
You for sharing that with.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
What do you want?

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Like, I don't think I should answer. It's not something
I want.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
It's something I lost that I that i'd get in
a box have lost.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Like, okay, it's not any less special, tell us what
your furbye?

Speaker 4 (05:23):
My god, No, I don't want that thing.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Those are burned in the fire.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
No, no, no, traumatize.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Okay, Well, when I think about the people that I've lost,
obviously they'd be in the box.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
But material thing I've I lost.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
A box that I had and had some of my
first journals. Ever, that's tough and I feel the weight
of that. And I also lost all of my childhood videos.
Really didn't lose them. My grandfather threw them out that
it was horrible. He said that the reason that he
did was because he no longer had the camera that
read that video file type.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
And I'm like a willow. We could did it?

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I know anything? But I know that he didn't.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
He didn't know, he didn't if you would have never
I know, I know, I know. Yeah, gave you probably
like a memory thing that I haven't been able to
look at. Yeah, tell you.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Guys, all right.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
The top.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
We thought we were starting pretty late. Okay, more to come.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Well, you clearly don't know us that well.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
So in doing research on you know, questions that I
should ask you guys and on you guys, I google
do Wow, And it's really funny because I came across
a website that sells celebrity cutouts and apparently you can
buy a cutout of you both on the red carpet

(06:56):
of Flat two. How do you feel about this information?

Speaker 4 (07:01):
I don't know how to feel.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Can confirm it's true? Okay, you know what I have
to say? How much is it?

Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Literally?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
How much is it?

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Why don't we have one?

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well? I don't want to tell you how much of
cost because maybe I added it to my car for Christmas.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
We need to like po with the cutout?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
What you do?

Speaker 3 (07:26):
They have like all sorts of sizes. I really did
some research all sorts of Wow, like many ones, and
you can get like a big one, just like like tall,
which is creepy because you're not even.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I would love to see myself at that time. I
would love to see myself at that height.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
Wow, that's crazy. I didn't think. I didn't think i'd
be learning things about other things this episode.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, but myself in that way.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
But here we are to answer your question. I feel
exhilarated about that information and one another price, and I
want to know how many people I can tend to you
for Christmas?

Speaker 3 (08:05):
But how do you feel that they're making money off
your likeness?

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Wait a minute, yeah, wait a minute, wait, wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Actually, wait wait a minute on that.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, whoever took the picture should be pissed, not us.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
But we should.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
You're right, somebody call the attorney right now. Episode over,
Thank you for.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Being here today.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Good point.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Next question because now I'm concerned.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
All right, question, if time was frozen for eight hours
right now and you could still move around freely, what
would you do?

Speaker 2 (08:49):
If time was frozen for eight hours and I could
move around freely, would what I did and those eight
hours be detected? Would it be tracked or would it
be like time froze.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
I did whatever, I went anyone.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
And it all came back and people were like, who
did that?

Speaker 4 (09:05):
I was like, who did that?

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Exact?

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Probably got caboc But what we want to know?

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I don't know. I'd probably like fly to New York,
go to the met, try on everything in the showing.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
That sounded like murder, and set that up like it
was gonna be murdered. I do whatever. I probably like
dro without being cracked.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
I would just probably like go into those spaces that
I would normally not be able to go into.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
And play, Oh my god, I'm just play like a child.
I'm so happy.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Go to Disney World.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
I would be asleep. I would take those eight hours
and sleep in extra eight hours.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Really eight hours were time stopped. You could do whatever
you wanted.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Sleep whatever. There you're eight hours.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
I'll guess what, even like, I don't want to get
a phone call uninterrupted eight hours.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
I'm down.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
I'll take it.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
So you go, Gallivan, me and my gold coins, my
gold bars will be trying on archives.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
You're a thief. No nobody knew it wasn't there nobody
detected me.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
They rob the met and let me tell you.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Time wasn't stop for eight hours.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Not that I would rob the met, but would you
certainly try to close on.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Chris?

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Chris like, we're going to New York. We're gonna go
play d take.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
It, but I'm taking a selfie.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Next question, you wanted to ask this other question as well?

Speaker 5 (10:39):
What the one you're about to ask this one?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, but do you want to know?

Speaker 5 (10:45):
I'm gonna ask you a lot.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Good?

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Okay, we like that you both just got to the
top of Mount Everest.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Did we climb it?

Speaker 5 (10:55):
We climbed it. We did it. It was really hard
to do.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Tiki days, no wonder, I have no title.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
What do you say when you both turn around to
only find a ginormous Yetti there to greet you.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I can I answer for him because I know what
she would do. Sure she would on the ground.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
You know if you found it, Yetti.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
If I made it to the top of Everest, you're right.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
I forgot.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
If I fucking made it to the top of Everest
and I turn around and I see it Yetti, I'm
gonna say, well, that's about right. She must be like, well,
I have no toes again. My nips are gone. I
don't want to be here anymore as it is.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
And YETI and you think.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I have cell service up there? You think I'm gonna
be able to send you a picture of the Yedi
I came and.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
Who watched the picture of the Yedi for proof the world?

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Okay, but greets you.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
I don't know what I would do.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
But what's this yetty greeting?

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Is it like, do you know that I went through
a haunted house of Yetti's in one of.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
These episodes with the baby?

Speaker 2 (12:12):
This is the source subject that.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
When I wrote this question, No.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
I would probably be startled and not expect that and
God forbid trip over a rock and falln It'd be like,
oh my god, the irony of her death was she
reached the top of it immediately died.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Now you both failed to realize that what if it
was the just the cup?

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Ye oh God, nobody's abandoning that it's a cooler full
of beer.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
First of all, I would rejoice.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
If jem encountered a Yeti on the top of Evers.
She would defeat it. So that's really first of all,
either of us are on the top of Mount everest,
we're on it together. Number one. Number two, If a
YETI is there, this girl will like get in the
throat after I feel like if you ain't got nothing
to do with me, like you think this is your mountain,
she'd like piss right next to the yetti and be

(13:06):
like territory, kick that ship down the mountain and when
she'd be like ready and we'd keep going down.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
So if she's with me, wow, Next baby.

Speaker 5 (13:16):
So you wouldn't hug the yetti and well, thank god
we made it up here?

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Would you know?

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Okay, what would you do?

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Na I?

Speaker 5 (13:28):
Would you know, like when you're supposed to scare bears back,
like you just be like rah, I would probably do that.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, you're right. Yetti would really take well to rap.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
You really got the yetti.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Next question?

Speaker 3 (13:42):
All right, okay, back in season one we all learned.
But Jim, you can come. So can you describe the
taste of salt?

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Those a slatter who can recognize who recognize what shade?
Chris just through referencing it episode really funny by the way,
you get like an additional ten points, write me DM
me if you know what's going around here?

Speaker 3 (14:08):
So can you describe the taste of salt to someone
who's never tried it before.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Me specifically, yes.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Oh my god, you're the one who can well.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Will this person have tried like sweets? Can I can?
I can?

Speaker 2 (14:22):
I associate taste tastes makes the rules? Okay, yeah, sure, Okay,
So like they've had sweet, okay, so sweet and oh mommy. Okay,
So I would start by differentiating then it's not sweet,
and it's it's it'd be closer to an ol mommy
flavor than something sweet. Salt specifically, hmmm, how do you

(14:53):
describe the taste of salt? I'd probably talk about its dryness.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
I was about to say, if I could describe it, it
would be.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
I'm trying to taste salt. It's difficult. It's very difficult
to describe salt. It's just salt.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's a smell.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
It's like one of those things. It's a very hard question.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Great job, Jam That was like.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
You think she's giving up.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
I'm not giving up.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Okay, thank you, thank.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
You, Chris, Gosh, that's not nice.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay, you know what, Sorry, go ahead, you answer it.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
I did.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
I said, that's salt.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, it's an ingredient that enhances flavor.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
It's an ingredient that preserves it's drying.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
M hm.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Then it's salty.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
I know exactly how it tastes.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
It's hard.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Around the racetrack.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Impossible question, Okaya, next question.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
Okay, so we know that you're currently obsessed with the
Golden Bachelor, not.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
To be more were It's okay, Trees is super sweet.
We were just were rooting for.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Her question before we get canceled.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
Go ahead, but it inspired this question to ask, if
you met each other one another at sixty years old,
what would your pick a blind be to one another?
Almost at six.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
I know what mine would be. Okay, you want to
see what these gums do?

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Kindly, No, if I was trying to pick you up,
I'd probably use the same line that I picked you
up with.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
I feel like it would be, I know, something a
little bit like just because you saggin than me, we
can't be hanging.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
Imry?

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Why am I ryting?

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah? Yeah again?

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Realistically at sixty i'd be like, listen, so I don't
have a lot of time left on this planet, and
you look like an incredible.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
You think we could do this thing?

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Look it works? Okay, Okay, she tried it. Once it worked.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
There you go. I'd probably be super straightforward, like even
even more straightforward than now.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
No hair on the tongue. Okay, next one.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
Next one.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Oh my gosh, you guys are the cards.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
They have the world cards.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
I love these people.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Okay too, it's getting real.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Oh God, here we go.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Wait.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
From what we know, especially after hearing about your climb
Mount Everest, you both show uh characteristics of having a
lot of courage. We all want to know what is
something that you're actiably afraid of?

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Mm hmm, all of us, like tangible or intangible, like
like a physical thing.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Be afraid of.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Honestly, I'll answer first because jem is thinking fucking up
one of my other fingers?

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Good one, that's a good one.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
I had a really gnarly finger injury, and honestly, at
least once a week I'm like, God, bless my hands,
please do not fuck up another finger. That shit was traumatizing.
So Christmas Santa, protect my fingers.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Yeah right, second.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
That.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
Accidents this year, thank you.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I mean not because of anything, you know, not that
I would prefer on any other day.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
But it's just not the time.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
She needs you to have your falangies.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yes, we all do.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
We all do love me more.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Okay, I think that my biggest fear right now, where
I am in my life, where my mental state is
running out of time for all of the things that
I'd like to do, all the places i'd like to see.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
That makes sense. You're suspicious, You're gonna do that. Thank you,
You're gonna do that.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
I agree, let's go. Maybe.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
So we were reminiscing on some episodes from season one,
and we were remembering that you had a couple of
episodes where you interviewed some of your high school friends.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Yeah, and we thought it would be.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
Cool to hear the advice that you would give yourselves
when you were in high school.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Oh again, it's so easy for me. Take those braids out, bitch,
take the braids out. So different now.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
I'm here, like, take up the Brazilian gen.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
You guys asked the questions, my brain goes philosophical, and
I was like.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Easy, sorry, I mean, it's just like, wow, I just
high school breaks, high school breaks. God flash the picture
right here, high school, high school?

Speaker 2 (20:37):
All right, next question, okay, Getty stuff, all right, Chris stuff.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
So early this season we found out that we know.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
You don't have to read it like like read it.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Okay, apparently this is the boss like the question with
ideas for questions. She's like, I'll make that makes sense, Chris.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Honestly, it was the most fun because I feel like
he knows you so well that if I had a
little idea, he knew how to like frame it so well.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Loved just like a great team, fabulous team.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
I really feel that way.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
We kissed Mike like you guys did.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yeah, okay, okay, so jump well because like, yeah, okay, oh,
you're the only one on this episode. Four episodes ago,
you apparently revealed to all of us, including your friends,
that your meditation guru.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Won't be included. I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
We're trying to find out. One where did you learn this? Two?
Where do we sign up so we can learn this
too and will be hearing more.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
I want the answer to this question.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
So, first of all things, that was a lot of fun.
I actually was in my house when I recorded that,
and I was alone in the house and wasn't like
she was in the back house, And I think that
that really lent itself to the moment because I was
just as intentional as I could be for the emotion
that I.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Was trying to admit.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
And when I heard myself back, you guys know, I
was like, that doesn't even sound like me. Who is she?
If you hear this and you go back, you'll see
the difference. Number One, where did I learn this? My
mom has actually been making hypnotherapy and meditation CDs since
I can remember, and as a hypnotherapist, I used to

(22:38):
go to her office as a kid whatever, and I
would hear her through the door. So I'm sure even
if it's subconscious, I picked up tons of information from her.
H How do you guys learn how to do this?
I think that the pointers that she gave me before
I started recording the episode were just like, take your time.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
Take your time in meditation pods.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
It helps to like give people a moment to breathe,
if that's what you mean.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
And three will there.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Be another one? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
I guess it depends if you guys think there should
be one. I'm always down.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
I mean, people were asking where they can sign up
for the membership.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
You know on social media? Yes, yeah, they can sign
up for.

Speaker 5 (23:20):
Like a meditation meditation membership like.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Subscriptions on crime.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Thank you, dude. I do the audio mixes for the pod,
and Jim did her thing, and you know, because that's
another thing, like we all change roles, right, sometimes Chris
has to do something Nissa as an editor. Chris is
a million things, Jim is a trillion things. And I
handle the audio here and there, No, but I do

(23:48):
the mixes. So I literally was like putting that in
and and Jim was like, hey, are you doning what
the mix? And I was like, honestly, this is the
hardest mix I've ever had to do because I would
click the space print, will go close your eyes.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
If I tried right, let me see, let me, let me,
let me.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
I'm gonna do like a line.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Let's see if I can channel her her.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
What's her name? You guys can name it Clondra.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
How do I feel like? It's zen?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
No, that's that's two.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
That's the s on the nose, Robert ROBERTA Julia, Julia, Julia.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
I think it's Julia.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
I think it's jul. It's Julia, but it's spelled like jewel.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
Oh my god, jo.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Julia.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
You guys welcome, you are here present for the birth
of Julia.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
It was great, Julia one, and I'm gonna ask them
a question. Okay, we all know that you're a supermodel,
like one hundred.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
If those of you out there don't know, she's laughing,
but it's not.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
It's not a joke.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Emily is not really ridiculously talented as a model.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
No, she should be selling.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
She should.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
I to lie to you, No, No, I.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
Would that is, I would not lie.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
We don't have to say the.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Question.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Rested the question. Rest of the question.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
We want to know how you channel that confidence on
stage or in a in a production setting like this,
because everyone has always said this that I've been around recently,
and i haven't been around for a long time, but
I've encountered various people saying that you turn into someone
else on stage or in a setting this way. Even

(25:57):
so here you're pretty true to who you are, and
this podcast we're in space.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
You just answered the question why because you said you
turn to somebody else. And I think that even like
when Beyonce says Sasha fears and when you know, we
talk about Ziggy startus, and like when certain people talk
about coming out of their show, it almost has to
be associated with somebody else, but what you don't realize

(26:24):
it's like that's you, you know, Like it's crazy, Like
Jem knows me the most in this world and she's
seen me in my best and my worst, and she'll
still be like, you're the most you on stage. Well yeah,
so like I'll say, yeah, it's another me, but that's
the most me, which is crazy because you can only
do it for such a brief period of time. So

(26:46):
it's almost like so deliciously infectious that like I feel
like that's why you can be yourself because you know
that you can only truly be yourself in that moment,
so everything comes out, you know.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
Like I'm the opposite.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
I feel like I'm less myself on stage because I'm nervous,
self conscious and insecure. You you step on the stage
and I feel like you come home to yourself.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
So that's what I was going to say. Like the
craziest Drugsta juxtaposition is that for most of my life
I didn't sing because I was scared of my voice.
I didn't want to walk up on the stage. I
would look down when I was playing music. I felt
so uncomfortable on stage, but I knew that I needed
to do it. It was never easy for me. It

(27:36):
was the toughest journey ever. Again, I should have been
singing from eight because I felt it in my soul,
but I couldn't bring it out until eighteen, mother fricking
ten years later. And so that's why I'm saying that,
I think that what made me be able to come
into myself is to almost pretend like I'm another person

(28:00):
and that other person is who I want to be, which,
funnily enough, you can apply that not only in music,
in anything. Like everybody says, it always takes like one action, right, Like, Okay,
you want to be an athlete, what are you gonna do?
Just think it? No, you've got to wake up and say,
I'm an athlete today, I'm gonna go run, I'm gonna,

(28:21):
you know, do something else. Later, I'm gonna lift weights
or eat better or whatever. Like, you are the creator
of your own story, so the same way when you
get on stage you're telling a story, you're creating that narrative.
It's all in your hands. It's fun. It's like when
you're a kid and you're pretending that you're you know,
scanning freaking plastic veggies or whatever, and you're having the

(28:45):
best time of your life. That's how I feel on stage,
like it's just the world is like my playground, and
I feel like that's what life is. Jem's like, ooh girl.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
You when you say little bit of time, I feel
like you turn into like the hulk of performing like
you have like I have six hours of performing in me,
like peak superpower. Bruce Banner again.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
Yeah, it's true. It's high energy, it fectious. Yes, yeah,
next question.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
All right, you guys play a lot of instruments, like
I said earlier that this is a very percussive office,
and Jim, you play the violin. I kind of want
to know what how'd you guys one get started to
those instruments, but also why do you keep going back

(29:41):
to that when you guys also know how to play
so many others.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
Okay, that's a that's a great question.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
It's kind of a weird story, but it's an interesting
story because it's a story of how life can sometimes
take its turn and guide you in a direction without
you even knowing. I always loved music class. It was
like all the arts subjects in school and elementary school
for me were my favorite because anything creative I obviously

(30:09):
felt drawn to. So I was in second grade and
my music teacher, mister Gill, told me after lunch, come
to the music room. I have a special test I
have to do on you. And I was like okay, So.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
I went to lunch, I went to the music room.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
When I went to the music room, there were two
other teachers there, Missus Burris and mister Mink, and they
did a couple of like basic IRRI training tests and
I had no idea why they were doing this. They
would play it out on the panel and have me
match it or play a couple have me match it,

(30:50):
or have me play something once they played it just
to I guess see if I actually had an affinity
in music. What I didn't know was that they were
the two music teachers for the Magnet program that's off
Famy Elementary and that was my audition.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
So yeah, so I made.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
It into the music program. And I don't know what
the behind the scenes was. I've actually never asked my mom.
I don't know if at some.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Point the music teacher reached out to her. But all
I knew was that next year I was in a
new school. Wow, I started third grade.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
It's half Miami in the music program, and I actually
started off playing cello.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Sorry, no viola. I started off playing viola.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Then I went to cello, and then I was like,
this is weird, bulky instrument between my legs. You know.
I learned how to read both of those music signatures
at the time. And then I was jealous of the violinists.
So I was like, why are they playing the melody
because the violinists always played the melody yeah, And then
I was like no, So by fourth grade I was

(31:54):
playing violin wow, and why don't I always go back
to it?

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Well?

Speaker 2 (31:58):
It was the instrument that introduced me to the world
of music. It's the reason why I have the F
holes tattooed on my wrist. Even if I never were
to touch a violin again. What that instrument represents to
me is a whole world. It means everything.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
I love that I love you.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
You realize that most people don't know what F holes are,
so when you say f holes like that, you're right.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Okay, so always talked about fols.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
If we haven't.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Fos are the holes on classical instruments that are usually
shapes like an F and a backwards F that actually
what allows the sound to escape the instrument.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, I think we talked about them on the Tattoo episode.
I don't know why we're also nostalgic today. Maybe because
the season is coming to an end.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
Stop it.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
That's not a bad thing, it's a terrible thing because
that means there are new doors opening. We've had an incredible,
beautiful season, wrapped with amazing people, including Chris and Nissa. Yeah,
and then you Okay, so.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Yeah, what about you? Am?

Speaker 1 (33:03):
I like drums?

Speaker 3 (33:06):
That happened?

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Was that your first instrument?

Speaker 1 (33:12):
I think I have a different relationship with different instruments.
I don't consider myself a expert in any I've always
said to people it's like when you go to draw,
like pulling different colors out of your thing. I have
a lot of respect for people who are extremely proficient,
which is something that I admire and I work on

(33:33):
every day. But I don't pretend to be that. I
know that I can play a bunch of shit, but.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
We're rolling all of us.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
I roll, but it's okay. It's because you guys at.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
The super proficient and they do know.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
They tell you.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
That says with regard to herself, she is again a ridiculous,
ridiculous musician who has gone further in three instruments and
most people can go on one and those insurance are drums, guitar,
and piano.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
You're wondering.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
It's true, wasn't now?

Speaker 4 (34:11):
I veto that?

Speaker 5 (34:13):
Your answer was, I like, Jim, Yeah, next question, Yeah
is it you need me?

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (34:30):
So we know the great deal of effort and work
that it takes to you know, create a successful podcast,
and just the energy that goes into it. You know,
you have to be on and promising every single week,
and this day and age, in this digital age, we
know that there are a lot of people out there

(34:50):
striving and really trying to build a name for themselves
or build a platform where they can speak or have
people speak about really important things and not important things.
But we wanted to know if you had any advice
for those people out there, like those podcast entrepreneurs that
are trying to get after it. You know, because you've
done so well of already.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
You thank you. I think.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
I'd probably give them really practical advice because that's what
I would have found useful. Like Number one, invest in
good lighting, invest in good lighting, invest in cameras, have fun.
I think that's something that Emma and I have been

(35:38):
able to retain throughout the last two seasons of this podcast.
Is we really enjoy Like we're really enjoying this. I
can speak for myself.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
I'm really enjoying this moment.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
But as you guys know, we've gotten creative and we've
kind of stepped out of the box of like what
the traditional podcasting world usually is. So that would be
my second, my second piece of advice. What would be

(36:10):
my third. Somebody who's thinking of starting a podcast, learn
premiere You're gonna need it.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
That's a hilarious Premiere is a video. A podcast is audio,
which is a perfect said way to what I'm about
to say. You didn't say oh at first about a podcast.
You said if you have something to say, And I
think that that would be my answer. Like, we're living
in a day and age where there's a million places

(36:41):
you could say something, So if you have something to say,
just find the bridge to say it, whether it's YouTube,
social media, live shows, like even if you're just playing
once a week every Friday and playing your music, or
going to Barnes and Noble and reading your poetry, or
my freakin' you know back Now he's older, but you know,

(37:05):
nine year old nephew figuring out a podcast for himself
because he felt so desperately that he wanted to be
heard that he just did it. Like that's baller. Just
find a way to do it. That's it. Whatever way
it is, it's not going to be perfect. We were
just talking about before we started that every time we
do something, I learned something before we started today, we

(37:27):
spent about an hour hour and a half resetting these cameras,
making sure they're in focus, you know, trying to keep
your spirits up while you're doing so, which is not easy.
We're tired, you know, as a lot of people are.
But like Jim said, you have fun and you remember
the purpose, which is to reach people and share something
that ultimately is going to make them feel better.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
I like that I choose that answer.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Yours was more practical like mine before we just switched roles.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
I think we needed both. I think people would want
to hear both. In my opinion, you know, from being
here with you guys in the beginning, I think like
both those things are very important, especially uh, the good
lighting and having something to say and say I support

(38:19):
you guys on this answers were perfect.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Do we get an a?

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Get a? Okay? What has been your guys's favorite all time?
In our own world episode?

Speaker 1 (38:38):
My favorite episode was no No have you heard that?
One goes?

Speaker 3 (38:42):
And I want to shout out Bella for coming up
with that question. I thought it was a great question.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Answer. You don't want to try to answer clearly if
you want to go back to the other question. You
want to be a good podcast host, never say who
your best or whor this episode is?

Speaker 4 (38:57):
Maybe just try what I used hern Okay.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
Like she let you was sick?

Speaker 2 (39:04):
How does that not?

Speaker 3 (39:05):
How is that not your favorite?

Speaker 1 (39:06):
I can't choose a favorite. Now you know how many
episodes we've had, not what like six?

Speaker 3 (39:10):
I know, but even the process of filming that one was.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Like, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna answer first, because m
you know, it was afraid to hurt feelings.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
But this isn't about other feelings.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
This isn't about other people's feelings. I couldn't have a
particular favorite because in like my hall of all time
favorite episodes, which there's a million of them, they're all
my favorites for really different reasons. So they bring something

(39:40):
to the table uniquely that made them stand up out
to me over the course of the last two seasons.
But just when you asked me that question, like what
organically came to mind, even if it's not the most
honest answer, it was the most intuitive reply would be
my Grandparents episode right now, that's fair. They were so cute.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
It was such a special moment.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
I feel like I will treasure that far beyond my
podcasting career and anything.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
It's something I'm probably gonna care about and treasure for
the rest of my life.

Speaker 5 (40:15):
Hell yeah, I mean that's always been a favorite of mine.
I think it's like such such a like soul filling
episode that's a lot of people resonated with. But I
don't know, like I just have this urge to tell
everyone out there that, like if you haven't had a
chance to listen, I mean, we've really recapped a few here,

(40:37):
but it's such it shows in every episode like the
heart of both of you, and I just like I
enjoy it even and I hope this isn't coming off.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
As biased, but I love it. I see the hard.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
Work and like really the heart that goes into everything,
like the authenticity.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
And us, and you know what, We're not four hearts,
We're five hearts. Yes, Chris has had two.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
Christmas?

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (41:09):
What else?

Speaker 3 (41:09):
Are you going to get?

Speaker 1 (41:10):
A podcast with four people on a couch with six.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
Right down the street? And Gem styles you all the
time and has put you in some pretty sick looks. Yes,
I have my favorite. I want to know what are
ones that you were like when you put it on?
You were like, damn.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
I love this question.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Easy, easy answer for me. Gem is an incredible stylist.
She always that person that you're talking about that we
spoke about before. How do you, you know, turn into
that other person when you perform a lot of it
is how you dress yourself, how you put your armor
on that gives you that confidence you said, how do
you get that confidence? Feel good? Right? But in terms

(41:57):
of looks, she always makes me feel good always. I
trust her completely. However, there are a couple of moments,
including when I played Ultra Music Festival with an old
band project of mine and Jem literally made the clothes
with a friend of ours, Emmy, but she Jem designed it,

(42:20):
sketched it, ordered bondage rope from Amazon, and Little Boy's
suit and rings from Michael's and she was literally freaking
threading bondage rope through little boy suits. And I swear
if I showed you the picture, well you would have.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
Bet that's the size that fit you.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
But yeah, yes, But what I mean is like in retrospect,
we probably spent like twenty twenty five bucks on the clothes,
you know, and it was like I felt like a
million bucks, you know, so like and she made it
like she put her hands on it. She like made
it special. She works with a lot of people that
you know styling as styling is one thing which she's

(43:02):
amazing at. But she's a designer. That's what she really is.
Look at these outfits, guys, this is Jem and Terry.
She sketched these. I have the paper where she drew
these on paper and now they're real. That's a designer,
that's not a stylist. So I love when she styles me.
But when she designed that's the ship. And get ready, baby,

(43:23):
because I'm gonna push her. My album's coming in Jem's
fucking fashion line. I'm telling you, what are those buttons?

Speaker 5 (43:30):
One of those buttons?

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Come on?

Speaker 4 (43:33):
Yeah, I love baby that.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
It's a lot.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
Thanks the truth.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
I'm glad that.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
At Sweaty.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
It's always a joy. I feel like I know you
really well too. I would agree with that statement. You
said it earlier, and I noticed pretty early on how
you kind of struggled to connect how you show up physically,
like in your clothes and your accessories and your makeup

(44:06):
and stuff. When we first met, you almost never wore
any kind of makeup. And I feel like we together,
we've kind of gone through a journey like we did
the twenties look with the suspenders and the red lip
for a while to we realized that you ate your
mics and red lips had to go forever.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
I end up smudging no. But and you've played with
your feminine side and your masculine side, and I feel
like I explore with you every time I address you,
like not only your limits but mine, and it's a
lot of fun. I thank you for being my freaking
biggest supporter.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
Romance.

Speaker 4 (44:46):
We asked that question, sad you guys did too.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Wow, thank you for being here.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
You know we love you.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
It's no secret we appreciate everything you do, but the
manner in which you do it and Jen You're not
too bad yourself anyway, Guys, join us for the last
few flights we have this season. Thank you for being
here for the other ones, and I hope you got
to know all of us a little bit more. This
is your inner own world flight crew. We love you
so much, see you next.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
We love you, We love you.
