Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, well, well, what do we have here? A drink?
Cheers My Day Friday Podcast. Carlamury has got a drink
in hand, She's got a cat on the couch. This
could not be a more Carla Marie podcast at the
moment because the shrinks are cats both. Now, I decided
I'm going back to as I approached my thirty four birthday,
you know who's coming out? Who hit that first? And
(00:21):
I'll tell you. Hey, this is Kay. Hello, guys, this
is Nico Advince right here. Hi, this is c I'm
Lily Allen. Hey, it's Charlie. Y. I'm Iggiasalia, and you're
listening to Carla Marie and Anthony. It's My Day Friday.
It's My Day Friday. It's My Day Friday, Friday Friday.
It's My Day Friday. Roll up, Welcome to the Monday
(00:44):
Friday Podcast. My name is Anthony. I'm Carla Murray. And uh,
apparently someone's making a return. Who's coming back? Carla Maury?
As I approached my thirty four birthday, I decided it
was a great time to bring back twenty four year
old Carla Murray and what is what is different about
twenty four year old Carlmury than twenty no, what are
your seven year old? Will? Very soon? I thought would
(01:07):
be a great time to bring back the Carly Maury
that drinks on weeknights. Is that what you did when
you were twenty four? I feel like you it was
It was no, it was twenty It was just like
just getting it's twenty four year od Cardonman would be
drunk all the time. But I'm still also going to
practice healthy eating and working out because I need to
(01:29):
like balance it somehow. And I'm just gonna be dead,
I will say, you know the one thing about getting older. Um,
and if you've been with us, cheers, card Mary. I'm
not drinking, but enjoy what Oh yeah, I'm done with
the tea though. Now I'm all done. Um, so the
one thing I have realized. And if you've aged at all,
(01:51):
congratulations you're not dead yet. Um the whole like I
used to be. I remember when I was you know,
twenty one too. I don't know thirty issue. Um, the
amount that I drank didn't matter, like I could drink
whatever I wanted. I was still in pretty decent shape.
But it sticks with you a little more well, like
(02:11):
to hangover stick with you a little more. You like
feel it. You can see that the changes as you drink.
Here's the thing, Anthony will wake up after a night
of drinking, but I feel fine. I'm like, it's two
p m. Yeah, But that's that's the really the key
to getting over a hangover, sleeping through it. Just sleep
as long as you can drink a lot of water
when you're awake, and you're good to go. It sucks
(02:31):
for me is that my hangover food has always been
French fries and also white rice, just straight up white
rice and so I sauce, so good, so good, so good.
But I found out that I'm allergic to French fries.
Although here's where it's confusing, because like it's confusing when
I order French fries. That's just be quiet. That's different
where I'm like, now, I'm like, well, I shouldn't eat
(02:51):
French fries because that's not gonna help my stomach. But
maybe it's like my joints that I have the issue
with French fries. It could be because it always soaked
it up and I never got more sick from eating
French fries. Okay, Um, well, I don't know if French
fries ever for anybody, are good for your stomach, true,
like in terms of the shape of your stomach comes
(03:12):
about it soaks up the alcohol. I'm sure it does.
Like I I remember being at New in New Brunswick
being hung over a f and ordering French fries from
like wherever, like grub Hub. What was your So for
people who aren't aware, Uh, the best thing about Ruccos
University is the grease trucks. And there's there's a couple
(03:35):
of grease trucks. I know, there's a couple of grease
truck like storefronts as well. Yeah, like a lot of
the because like they're not like trademarked I guess or weren't.
So a lot of the um local restaurants also make
fat sandwiches. They still call them that. Well, even even
outside of the Mammouth area, like where where mom at
the university is, there was a place there maybe it
(03:57):
was called University Grillas, I don't know, something like that,
and they had a bunch of fat sandwiches. They were
replicas of what was there at Rutgers. Now I will
give Rutgers credit. I think they were the first in
New Jersey to do those sort of things. Those little
food trucks. Where is that intersection that has the parking lot.
It's not there anymore. Really put a giant dorm. So
(04:17):
where all those food trucks is there? I think they roam? Okay,
last time I was there, they roamed around and I
went back and they were actually in the parking lot
of my old dorm, and I was like, oh my god,
thank god, this wasn't a thing. Do they roll as
a pack like all the food trucks is. Here's what
doesn't make sense. If you're gonna have six food trucks
or four food trucks that all have the same thing,
(04:39):
it doesn't make sense to all be in the same place. Trucks.
Grease Trucks were a group of food trucks located on
the College FF campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick.
So they were on College, they were on George Street
and College. Uh. Grease Trucks were removed from their longtime
location in August, with plans to be relocated throughout new
(05:00):
ones are can piscataway campuses. Okay, so that makes more
sense though, because if you've never been there, now, let
makes one. I know, we've talked about it for a
little bit. They had the best worst sandwiches in the world.
And when I say that, like they would have a
sandwich that had uh, Hamburger patties, mozzarella sticks, French fries,
gravy and and you know, some weird sauce or ketchup
(05:25):
or whatever, and then all of the sandwiches were similar
to that. Right, they all had like French fries. Facts
was my favorite. That's what I think everyone got. That
was like French fries, mozzarella sticks, chicken cutlet, fat beach.
When you're trying to be politically correct, you know what's
on it. French fries, chicken fingers, and that was really
good in a marinaro sauce. Right. Yeah. They apparently are
(05:48):
on College f campus in Lot eight, so that's just
like one of the parking lots and that that is
one thing if you happen to be driving through that
area of New Jersey and you've never been, I would
actually suggest stopping at the Ruckers campus rapping yourself a
fat sandwich. So there were a couple of times where
we would, like my friends and not in high school
and college, would drive down there meet up with friends
(06:08):
who were going there and grab a fast sandwich and
then go back. So are you hungry? Are you like?
Ruckers University is the name of the food truck? Right?
I Actually I dated a girl whose family I believe
owned are You Grill? Which was like a storefront. Her
friends owned it something like that, No way, I love
are You Girl? And then that play The people who
own are You Grill? I believe also owned something down
by West Virginia. I take that back, Are you Hungry?
(06:29):
As a storefront? Are we getting to tow into this
right now? No, because people need to visit. I'm so confused.
I don't remember anything. But there's an are You Hungry?
In New Brunswick and in Nork. So I will say
this the next time Anthony and I are spending a
decent amount of time in New Jersey, We're going to
go to New Brunswick and go to Ruckers together. We'll
go to set Hall and see all your things. At
(06:51):
some point to we had campus subs, which thankfully for me,
was right around the corner for my my house. Like literally,
you turned, you made a left out of my drive way.
We were on the corner and you looked across the
street and there was a Chinese place, a pizza place,
and campus subs, and I used to get the chicken
cheese steak, like that was my sandwich all time, and
(07:11):
I would never I don't know why that was my
sandwich there. I think I ordered it once, I liked it,
and I ate it, no joke, like four times a
week when I was living in South Orange. This is
what I think we need to do. I will reach
out to someone at Rutgers to make, like to make
a really in depth tour and ask if, like I
can bring you into the dining halls. I don't want
to do that. I'm no, I'm taking you to campus
(07:32):
and I'm showing like this is a part of my
life you don't know about, Like I've taken you to
my family, have taken you to my hometown. We we
went through our first years that like work together. I've
you've never experienced my college life. But I've been to
ruts but not with me and not I not with
the house. I went to the dorm. Like, come on, dude,
never you've never been to a game with me. You
(07:52):
don't go to games, well like I don't, but you've
never been to a game with you know a football game. Okay,
because this is an ongoing thing. Wait, Anthony, you're going
to take me to But I never lived on campus,
so that's like not part of my life. But I
want to see where you failed your classes all over.
I don't know. I don't think I ever failed a
(08:13):
classes set all. Definitely got a D in my first
chemistry class. I think I didn't do well my freshman
year at university right islands late. I didn't do well
at all my first year. That's part about transferring is
the credits will come over, but not your g p A.
So if you had a shitty one, you're good. The
best part about switching majors for me at Seton Hall
was um I stopped taking bio classes and started taking
communications classes, which, let me tell you, the degree of
(08:36):
difficulty went down considerably. So like my bio classes. I
mean there was a semester where I took sell bio,
Organic Chemistry too, and calc all in the same semester.
That was my last semester in bio because it was
just so grueling. Well also, and then I went to
communications and it was like intro to TV. Watch this
(09:01):
TV show, So I'm gonna talk about journalism common a second,
this is going to be the college episode. Um, but
when you transfer within four year universities, Um, your grades
don't transfer, but your credits do. But if you get
a C, your credits do not transfer. So as long
(09:21):
as you it's almost like a past fail type of
thing kind of but A you have to get an
A or B. So I gotta see an economics that
didn't transfer. Possibly also philosophy. Based on last week's episode,
you should know there were a lot of clean up
things we got to clean up from last week's episode.
Number one turns out George Michael has been dead for
six years spoiler alert if you, like us, thought he
(09:43):
was still alive or just didn't pay attention to the
day that he died, which apparently was on Christmas. So
maybe that's why I didn't really like pay attention around
Christmas music there. Um, so that was false. That was
our inaccuracy. And then you were talking about stigma Freud
and mentioned but we were talking about philosophy and he
was more psychology. That was another um correction we had
(10:07):
to make. And I didn't know that there was a
little Mermaid too, No idea should have I didn't know
that was that a straight to VHS. Yeah, it wasn't.
It had to be because that's what That's what like
Disney's model was for a while, it was like get
people hooked on the big movie and then just straight
to VHS, so that when you went to Costco you
(10:28):
had to buy a VHS or Price Club in New
Jersey at the time, you had to buy. Yeah, it
used to be two different companies. There was a Costco
and there was Price Club, and then Costco purchased Price Club.
I believe Costco we know um and if you don't,
it is based out of Kirkland, Washington, which is why
they have all the Kirkland brand US things. And Price
Club from what I remember reading when I went down
(10:50):
a Wikipedia hole a while ago, I believe it was
a California, possibly Long Beach based company and they basically
did the same thing. It was like a club that
you bought a membership too, and then you've got to
buy things in bulk. And Costco one, I just thought
of something I don't want to forget it, so I'm
gonna say it here. Also, do the Price Club and Costco.
If you listen to this podcast and you do not
(11:11):
watch our show on Twitter YouTube. Please reach out to
us because I'm just I want to know why. And
even if it's I just don't feel like watching, that's fine.
I'm just like focus group need to survey. Just reach
out in any capacity, whether it's Twitter, is specifically for
people who listen to this podcast and don't watch anything
else that we do nothing, just this podcast. Okay, I
(11:33):
like that. I'm just I want to pick your brain
and you can email us. It's Hello at Carla Marie
and Anthony dot com. You can d m us. Maybe
don't tweet it like hey, I don't watch a show,
but we don't need that out there publicly. No, but
you just email us Hello at at A Sorry Hello
at Carla Marie and Anthony dot com. Maybe they just
don't do other things on the internet like email. Okay, listen.
If you don't email, we're not gonna to watch YouTube.
(11:54):
Your digital opinion is kind of invalid. Like I'm glad
that you listen. I'm not saying to not listen. I'm
just saying if you don't email, if you somehow have
made it to this point in life, where in this
weird vortex of digital space, you know how to listen
to a podcast, and you actively listen to a podcast,
but you don't email. That's real weird, right do You're like? So,
(12:20):
speaking of email, like my mom gets emails from companies
based on if you orders something. She gets random forwards,
but she doesn't like email people, meaning like back in
the day, she said. But she doesn't email friends, right,
And I feel like that's almost like a lost art
(12:40):
because once you're out of work, why are you emailing people?
You have Facebook, you have text, you have that's gone.
We just use email now for work orders, a newsletter. Yeah.
The only time I'll email with friends if there's like
a big group thing that like we're planning on going
to stage coach, so there's a spreadsheet and there's all
these links and stuff that makes the easier for email.
(13:01):
Bachelor parties always through email. Um, that's about it. I don't.
I mean, yeah, I think I use it for work
obviously currently, for like the projects that we're doing, partnerships
that we're doing. That's but I'm not just like pen
poelling people. No, I'm not like, hey, Brad, I hope
you're you and your family are good. And I did
(13:21):
that to my old voice coach and I gotta bounce back,
so they retired. I still see her on Instagram so
I can DM her there. But Joe the voice, man,
she's amazing. What do you think your voice coach would
say today if she heard you? Why do you have
a lisp? I feel like I got braces. But I
would love to take a lesson with her now because
(13:42):
I took lessons with her. By the way, Lauren, Lauren
Ray from she used to work with a self uh
the t J Show and now she's back as the
voice of Elvis the Show. Um, that was her voice
coach and she recommended me. That's how I got in.
You can't really just get into Joe the voice and
Lauren's like the pro of prose. I didn't not belong there.
I was like too embarrassed to read in front of her,
(14:03):
So keep him on. This is right when I started
doing endorsements aid Elvis the Show. And I don't know
if I've ever told the story in the podcast. Someone
emailed the show or called the show and was like, Hey,
I'm a casting director for a serial brand and we're
looking for someone to voice and I heard your voice
and I think you'd be amazing. Can you go into
(14:24):
this audition and read? And I was like what the
And Lauren was like what, like that doesn't happen Like
I've been in this interview like this is crazy and
I didn't know how to read a script like that.
Now I could do it, and I just went so
I just not only like, yeah, they liked my voice,
but they liked my voice when I was comfortable. So
like I went in. I think it was honey bunch
of votes and I did the read and I was like,
(14:47):
uh so. Then Elvis's agency get that. Um. Then Elvis's
business partner David Katz, who we love and know, and
I feel like we even had it on Monday Friday
at some point he may have hopped in. He was like, Okay,
I'm gonna help you. I'll send you on some other
auditions to whatever. So and then he or he connects
(15:07):
me with some like voice company and they like, you know,
he got you to this person. I just I sucked
because I wasn't confident. I was scared. Well that was
like and you were actually there with me. There was
a time where I guess a O L was launching
like a daily shown. I think they did for a
little bit. It was like some daily web show they
were going to do. And college friend of mine was
(15:29):
part of that project and said, Hey, what, I think
you'd actually be really good for this. Why don't you
come in an audition? And I don't think I understood
what media preparation was at that point, and I was like, Oh,
this will be easy. I'll just go in there. I'll
read some things they tell me to read, or say
some things they tell me to say, and if they
like me, that's great. I wasn't ready for the teleprompter
(15:52):
and the lights and the script, and they did. I
will say they did send me the scripts. I probably
didn't read them as much as I should have, Anthony,
I know you you did not. Now I would, now
I would actually take time and get comfortable with it.
I wouldn't, and I would be I would set myself
up to do something similar. I'd find like a I
don't know teleprompter app to practice with. And I just
remember I got so flustered that every single take it
(16:16):
only got worse. It was so I mean, someone's got
that video somewhere. It was bad, YEA, And I needed
that right Like at some point you go I failed
that thing, and after that I didn't care about failing. Yes,
So after that, I just it's not that I necessarily
(16:37):
got better at reading things. I'm sure I did a
little bit, but now if something goes wrong, I don't
get flustered nearly nearly as much. It's interesting because now
I'm like, I kind of want to try to get
back into that world, but like I see people like
Lauren who sound amazing, are incredible, and it's still a
freaking hustle, like things just don't come to you, and
I'm gonna wait obviously when my braces are off before
I do that. But I remember, like you said, like
(17:00):
you don't really know about media preparation when I went
on that first audition. They give you the script when
you get there on most of them, and because you
can read, it's not like you need to memorize that
you're reading it. It's just audio. It's voice. But like
I didn't know I can go on the hallway and
practice or like whatever. I just was like, Oh, they
just want to know if I can do it. Like no,
(17:20):
like you can do and you do three takes and
then you're done. The auditional world is weird too, because
you can, you can nail it, and you can do
everything that they told you to do. And then someone
comes in has a little bit of a different take,
maybe something that they didn't even script or right, and
they like that more because it's a little more creative
or they didn't think of it. The auditional world is really,
(17:42):
really weird. I want to see if I can find
a commercial script example. But here's what's crazy about the
voice world. Like if you land like uh, like shampoo,
for example, you can land a shampoo ad and they'll
use you for a year and you'll make so much
money one you can. I mean, it's a grind for all,
(18:02):
and it doesn't happen to everyone. What are you looking up?
Kind of find like a brand that we know like
and they're and they're script, and see if I can
read it, Like so in my voice over lessons, Oh
what you have them? No? Sorry, I'm looking at for
just a script for a commercial. In my voiceover lessons,
she would have me go into the booth and read
(18:23):
like she wouldn't be in there with me, she'd be
outside listening. And one of the things was I had
to read like a romance commercial. I had to be sexy,
and I was like, I can't do this. I'm like,
I was embarrassed, like I couldn't do it. But now
I would have like so I'd feel like so scandalous,
Like I could do it like as a joke, but
it would sound sexy. You did mention Sean White though
(18:44):
a second ago fail and when we were talking about
failure now spoiler alert, I guess we are going to
talk about some Olympics stuff. But if you haven't caught
up at this point, problem it sports, we don't care. Yeah. Um,
Sean White competed in his last Olympic this year, his
fifth Winter Olympics, which is nuts. How many did Phelps do?
(19:05):
I don't know, it's the question. So fifth Winter Olympics.
He won in Tarno, he won in Vancouver, he won
in uh South Korea. Oh, Michael Phelps also competed in
five Olympics, but he has twenty eight medals. That's that's
(19:27):
the thing. Like there's so many swimming events that Michael
Phelps can be and there's only so many snowboarding events.
And Sean White, to his credit, did do slope style
originally when it was introduced. Um, and as he got older,
I mean those tricks. He's still doing crazy tricks. Yeah,
but slope style is insane. And here's the thing about
Michael Phelps. I'm not shipping on what he does, but
he's literally swimming in a pool. People like Sean White
(19:49):
are flipping in the air, banging their body on ice constantly.
Like again, what I I literally, I'm lucky I could
dump in a pool holding my nose, But like when
you could and you compare them, and you actually can't.
But when you try to compare what they do, the
the beating it takes on a body, Like what Michael
Phelps does is what they tell old people to do
for their recovery. And Michael Phelps trains harder than most people.
(20:11):
He's genetically gifted to do what he does like he practices,
and that is a like what he's done is unbelievable.
But the degree of danger for someone like Michael, I mean,
I guess you can drown, but probably not if you're
a professional swimmer, unbelievably ironic way to go. Like the
guy he died on a segway right off a cliff,
(20:34):
so the cliff killed him, though not the segway. He
was on a Segway. How did he fall off a cliff?
You don't. We don't remember this at all. But Seawan
wh competed in his fifth Olympics, only the second time
ever that he did not reach the podium. Actually only
the second time ever that he went to an Olympic
half pipe event and didn't get the gold. So he's
(20:56):
got three golds and he has two fourth place finishes,
so like that's like having four. But I'll tell you what.
Carlon May and I were watching it on whatever NBC
had Live in their prime time slot, and it really
was I felt like I was watching the end of
an era. It's very much watching Derek Jeter retire now
(21:18):
watching Tom Brady retire, very similar, kind of the same,
and a very similar run in length and less like
the hatred of Tom Brady because like Shaun White doesn't
beat your team unless you're another country, like whatever, but
you still respect him. Um the Saan White. There's something
about him. He's so personable, and I don't know what
(21:39):
it is. I think I always thought he was a douche,
but I think I used to get him and carrot
top confusion, that's an easy thing to confuse the thing
that Sean White is credited for is not only pushing
the sport of snow snowboarding forward, Sean White was really
the first one to put all of his effort into
contests and into making see eurious money because contests for
(22:01):
a long time were just a thing that happened that
most snowboarders didn't really care about. It was just something
they did. And Sean White was the one and the
timing worked out great because they entered it into the
Olympics that wasn't considered a part. And yeah, like so
the rise of Shawn White, the rise of snowboarding all
kind of followed the same curve. And if you watch,
(22:22):
if you have an HBO Max subscription or if you
can steal it from a friend or family member, there's
a special documentary or documentary special called Dear Ryder and
it's the story of Jake Burton, who founded Burn Snowboards
and how he kind of pushed the industry forward. And
there's there's a significant part with Shaun White and how
that the teaming up of Shawn White and Burton like
(22:46):
completely pushed snowboarding over the topical. And that's what listen,
the guys that are doing tricks and the half pipe
now are way better than Shaun White was at his best. Well,
they were saying one of the guys competing with Sean
White wasn't even one years old when Sean White won
his first gold and even Chloe Kim. I mean the
(23:07):
run that Chloe Kim did to win her gold medal
in women's snowboarding back when Shaun White won his first
gold medal. If you put those runs side by side,
I mean, Shaan White went bigger, Chloe Kim probably was
more technical. I love her. I've such a cross And
that's how much the sport has progressed since Shawn White
(23:28):
got into it, which is just a testament to how
long he's been in And there's going like you're gonna
look at runs that he's done, especially early in his
career in five years and go, oh my god, that's
what someone won gold with at the time, But then
you have to remember no one else was doing. You
can do that for any sport though, like literally any sport,
but like skating. What's his name names in Chen was
(23:48):
the first person to like do like three quads. I
don't know, listen. He was one of my favorite people
to watch in the Olympics so far, he's so cute
and he's so like there it's so fun, Like that's
my favorite thing when it's fun to watch like this
to me, like these weeks of the Olympics are like
my favorite times in sports. They're good because there's so
(24:09):
many reasons. It doesn't happen all the time. You know,
a lot of people are young and like they're cute
to watch and that aspect because they also work so
hard for something that happens every four years. Well, it's
also you don't have to follow the sport to want
your country to win and understand and that the announcers
do a very good job of explaining everything. The other
thing I think that people don't give enough credit to
(24:30):
with Shaun White's rise is really snowboarding was the first
non stuffy sport in Winter Olympics. Winter Olympics are very
like they're stuffy, they're they're elitist sports, all of them.
I would say, I was going to bring this up,
like even snowboarding, it's not cheap to get into, but
it's actually probably the cheapest, but it's it's the punk
(24:51):
rock of the winter world. And that's what really catapulted
Shawn White as you had this guy with flaming red
hair doing these crazy flick punk the the uniforms are
baggy and like kind of streetwear inspired. So he was
really the first like cool winter sports athletes. And I'm
(25:13):
sure someone can pull up someone who had a bigger
uh fan base overseas or whatever. But when you watch
even if he's shooting, is that it's called ski shot
when that's uh god, what is it the biathlon where
they ski and shoot? Like that's like that you're not,
like you're cool. And even Nathan Chad, like I think
figure skating, in those things, we're able to be a
(25:35):
little more loose because of snowboarder because you got to
have funny guy to like you. You knew that the uh,
the athlete was listening to probably some like metal band
or or punk band in their headphones, and it made it.
It made winter sports cool, not this stuffy elitist, rich
person thing like you watch alpine skiing's like that's not
(25:56):
I mean, it's crazy. And I'm not trying to descredit
anything those those men are men do because we're actually
kids at this point, do um because it is unbelievably
dangerous and skillful, but it's not fun like it's not
it doesn't have that vibe. No, I agree, there are
very few things that have that, like have a vibe
to it. And I mean again, it's a lot of
it as elitist, like not everywhere you go do you
(26:19):
have a lose course. I was just gonna say, where
do I even try to lose? You know? And I
think we would be so good at the one there.
Have you seen double lose? These two people they lay
on each other, but to peen, no, but to pen
on top. So they both are they both laying face
down sandwich no up, they're both laying face up. Why
(26:42):
who made that sport? Bottom missionary? Who made that sport?
Hold on? I didn't know? Was the thing. It was
like all over the end of that was like, wait,
they just ride down together like their little kids in
a sledge. Wait, I might be getting the sport. Oh yeah,
double double lose l Look at this, I'm showing Anthony,
but google it double luge doubles l u g E.
(27:05):
Like we go to a ski resort and try this,
Like this is what I'm saying. For the first time,
this legitimately looks like the dumbest sport I've ever seen?
Are you eight years old and you're like your name's
like little Tammy and you're like, hey, Katie, do you
want to go try double loge? Like? How does this happen?
Maybe this is the only non elitest sport because really
it's just people who are too poor to get extra sleds.
(27:27):
They're like, no, no, we only need two sleds for
the four of you. You're just gonna ride on top
of one Another'll be fine. How did Jamaican bobsled team do?
I don't know. I don't know. I have no idea.
I've only been seen. I think this has been snowboarding
and skiing and uh skating, Like I haven't really seen
it much. Oh, I saw curling. I watched the Olympics
around the clock. I don't like, I have always done this.
(27:50):
This is like my thing. I love it. Well, before
we wrap up for the day and let you enjoy
your week or whatever else you were getting into. Since
we are on the topic of unbelievably gifted athletes, I
do think we should talk about me for a second.
And three days ago probably wouldn't have had this thought,
(28:11):
but recently I've gone to the gym in some off hours.
I've seen some people I haven't seen it a long time,
and I've been getting some compliments. Kind of left it
right in the gym, People that have seen me going
there for four years now going hey, you're looking looking
pretty big there. They usually get like a shoulder I
usually get like a shoulder tap or like a little
(28:31):
bicep flip. And then today the best of all things happened.
There was a kid who's probably like upper classmen in
high school, maybe younger in college, around that age into
twenty something, and he was waiting for me. Yeah, he
was waiting for me to finish up on a piece
(28:53):
of equipment. I was on the cable, the pulley cables,
and I was doing some chest exercises on the cables.
And as I finished up, I signified to him. I said, hey, uh,
I'm done here. Do you want me to leave these
handles on? Do you want me to replace him? Or
said no, no, you could leave those on. And then
right as I was, you know, putting my stuff in
my bag and walking away, he says, hey, can I
ask you a question? It was like I think he
(29:15):
was like, hey, are you Anthony. He said, uh so
I was watching you work out, like which one of
those exercises should I do for like my lower chest
or my lower pecks? And I told him which one
I think works a little bit better. But it was
just one of those moments I was like, why he
thinks that guy that kid was looking at it was
the big guy at the gym. Was he looking at
(29:35):
your lower pecks? I mean they were covered with my shirt.
You got a tank top on. Was he peeking around
you think? I don't know, there's some side boob showing.
So it was my under arm or shirt from the
Rocks line that he has an under over. I want
to sit down with that kids so bad. Which sometimes
my nipples peek out from that shirt like on the side.
Oh I don't like it. No, you're like that guy
at the gym that just wears like he just wears
(29:56):
it down the middle of his clean You know. I
make sure that I cover my nips at all times.
If I am ever at the l A Fitness and
ballard and I see your nipple out, I am going
to scream nipple could do whatever you want, Okay, I
want to sound I want to sit down with that dude,
and I want to ask him a lot of question.
The guy who asked me about kid? Why him? What
was going through your head as you were watching him?
(30:18):
Do you know what you just did to me because
you asked them? But then sometimes so like I said recently,
this week, I have had a couple of people compliment
me in the gym about you know, I guess you
would call it my physique or whatever, which is crazy
because I actually think that I'm smaller now than I
was in the summer when I was really lifting. Heap
may not be big, it may just be you're looking good.
And I don't know if anyone else thinks like this.
(30:39):
Maybe I'm just like a worst case scenario uh thinker.
But part of me is like am I in some
weird Truman show that like I'm gonna make a wish
kid And people are supposed to like tell me that
it was stronger, but I really am. Like a memo
went out to everyone in l A Fitness. I didn't
get it, but they're like, hey, guys, Anthony only has
(31:00):
three more months today. Have just compliment him off because
only started happening ever since I started going to the
gym with you that's not true. Oh also, and I
will say this to anyone who does watch us on Twitch,
be there on Twitch on Monday because there's a story
I haven't even told. Carla Maria Anthony came back from
the gym into the craziest thing happened, but I can't
(31:22):
tell you. And my blood was absolutely boiling, like I thought,
there was a good chance that someone was going to
throw down in the l A Fitness and Ballad. And
I will explain the whole story on Monday. That's all
I'm gonna leave you with right now, because it is
such a ridiculous moment. There were some highs, there were
(31:43):
some lows, there was everything in between, and it all
went down today at l A Fitness and Ballad and
I will explain all of it Monday morning on Twitch. Alright,
I will be there. You have no choice. But this weekend,
my mom and my aunt they're flying up there from
my mom's making a little pitstop for a day and
a half here in Seattle. So this is gonna my Obviously,
(32:07):
my favorite part is just seeing my mom. Right, she
doesn't have to do anything, well, she's here, but she's
gonna teach me how to make some Middle Eastern dishes.
I'm also excited. So the two things I'm gonna learn.
One is super simple. It's lebanon, which is like a
yogurt dish with some like herbs and spices in it.
The other is hummus, which both are very easy things today.
(32:27):
And the third thing and I we this is what
we call it at home. I don't know if it's
the Palestinian name or the Lebanese name because we get
those mixed up in my household. Um, but it's called
medul and mefdul is. It's made with chickpeas, chicken onions,
chicken broth, and those little, tiny, tiny tiny noodles which
(32:47):
I know as a sna peppe. Carler Me didn't think no,
because pastina is like a star, right, But it's the
same thing. To the circles, what you're telling really really small, Okay,
so maybe it's it's very similar. So it's an a pepper.
It sounds like a person. Could you google it? I
want to say it's like Ronzoni number forty four, because
you don't have everything numbered? Did you know that? Yeah?
(33:10):
The big like pasta companies have numbers for their their products.
Are you looking at the noodles. I'm on the Wikipedia
for them. It's a form of pasta. The name is
Italian four seeds of pepper. A sena is the plural
of a cino, whose root is the Latin word as
cenus sounds looks like anis, and both Latin and Italian,
(33:31):
the word means grape or grape stones, with the stones
of a grape being the seeds of the grape Sena
de pepe when translates into seeds of pepper. Okay, let
me keep okay. They are also sometimes referred to as pastina.
The Italian was a star it is. I'm very kind.
I know they were listen to this pastina Italian for
(33:54):
tiny dough. However, some pasta makers as sing as pastina
smaller than a senia de pepe. The individual says, you
usually resemble tiny cylinder. So that's for your thing, about
one millimeter or less in each dimension, like little balls.
Basically they're a little number. This chart you know when
you get something, um, oh, it's an Italian wedding soup. Oh,
or kind of looks like couscous Yes, that's the other
(34:16):
thing people call it. It's couscous okay, but it's not
because couscous is not the same. It's not like texture,
I don't think anyway. So I'm gonna learn how to
make that this weekend. So I guess I'm gonna learn too.
And I think what I'm gonna try to do is
just learn a little bit um with my mom every
so what when she visits, because now she's going to
be going out to Los Angeles like every other month
(34:36):
or so. And she basically said every time she does that,
she'll stop in Seattle for a day on her way back.
So every time I'll learn a new dish, I'll write
down some notes. Actually, it's a two hour flight, it's
really not bad. I feel like it's one's going to Florida.
It's two to two and a half. It's really not bad.
Um what you're talking about from Los Angeles to here. Yeah,
it's the same as like going New Jersey to Florida.
(34:57):
It's a little bit closer. Okay, So we're gonna be
learning these things. But I think that's only fair that
you come on Monday Friday each week and or maybe
on Twitch and share a word or phrase with us
for us all to learn. What do you mean because
you you said words that none of us know how
to repeat. They're just names. I'm sorry. No different, different.
(35:21):
There's the three dishes I like the most are all
start with them. This one is MEFL, so I would
spell it m A F t o U L or
t o o L. But you say different than I do? Not? Really?
Well you right here? Yeah, that that I can't. You
(35:41):
can't teach that. You know, you learned you were born
with that. No, but I learned through like osmosis, right,
I just heard people saying it and I absorbed it. Yeah,
we're gonna learn, We're gonna do this. It's actually how
I like all the when I was an altar boy
and a deacon in this year an Orthodox church, we
have to learn a bunch of prayers and stuff. Right,
I can sing a lot of the prayers like when
(36:01):
I'm in the church. I don't know what any of
them mean. I just know the sounds in the orders
that in the order that you're supposed to say it.
I mean that's really what languages um. Okay. And so
it's funny you bring that up about with your mom.
I my friend Tatum had a baby, and I said,
(36:22):
I will bring you guys food because that's like what
you know, like what I know? Right, Like someone has
a baby, they can't cook. There there is nothing that
even they can they shouldn't have to know. So I
was like, I will bring you chicken harm because that's
like the easiest, like big I can make a lot
of that at once, right, and then it's easily reheatable.
I was on FaceTime with my mom and I'm like,
(36:43):
Mom helped me, like what am I doing here? And
it was just like a lot of like back and
forth on FaceTime with her. I pretended I was putting
us slices of cheddar cheese on it, and she lost
her and I was like just kidding, and then she
was I had like packaged sliced mozzadel and she was
like what is that? I was like, this is all
I got. I couldn't find what do you usually shredded? No,
you would go and get like slice it. Granted my
(37:08):
mom is not Italian, so whatever. Um. When she makes
chicken parm, I think she gets the shredded mozzarella and
like mozzarella and puts it on top. Now I should
have gotten like wet mutts, oh, like like mus more
like Delhi MutS I gotta I gotta look up on
the internet, like Fiories and Hoboken. Yeah, best MutS in
the world. We got a lot that the only time
I'll call it mus specifically a Feorias and Hoboken. And
(37:29):
if you're not aware, Italians have like different words. Eas week,
you're gonna give us a lef tool and I don't
even what's it out? Our names are gonna be. That's
gonna be are like our our improv. We're gonna do
it from a gent city. No tool, what's it out? Well? Listen, um,
(37:52):
Maybe I'll actually post some of the things from learning
that I'm learning with my mom this weekend. I probably won't,
but I only got a couple of hours with my mom. Hmile,
she's here, so I'm not going to spend most of
that on social media. I will say this, we do
have a lot of things in store. It looks like
and sounds like things are all moving in the right direction.
If we could just get our internet to be a
(38:13):
little more reliable, we would be moving a little faster.
But small business life is a life of adjusting and
adapting and learning and looking at your business partners saying
this sucks, but we're gonna be all right. But we
do have a lot of stuff in store, so hopefully
you can hang out with us. And like I said,
(38:34):
if you do anything on Monday and this, keep in mind,
I want to give you the date. So if you're
listening to this, like in three years, you know we're
talking about today is February eleven. Monday will be Oh,
it's Valentine's Day, so make sure you listen. Valentine's Day,
(38:56):
my story from the gym. I don't have anything if well,
we always say that we are not a where a
show where the hosts happened to date. We are not
a show with dating hosts. But it's Valentine's Day. Yeah,
that's the one time a year to do what to
be in love for what's happening? Here's a cat attack
(39:21):
in my cable for tool and what's it all? We
sound like to the old guys from buffets. We do
a little bit. Thank you very much for hanging out
with us and spending the last four or some minutes
with us. We appreciate that you could have done anything
else with your time, it chose to hang out with
us for a little bit. And that really means the
world to us. Um make sure if you want to
(39:42):
check us out on Twitch. The link is in the
description of this podcast. We also have our YouTube channel there.
Carlon Brandy last words, you look great. Find us will
be here all the week.
Well, well, well, what do we have here? A drink?
Cheers My Day Friday Podcast. Carlamury has got a drink
in hand, She's got a cat on the couch. This
could not be a more Carla Marie podcast at the
moment because the shrinks are cats both. Now, I decided
I'm going back to as I approached my thirty four birthday,
you know who's coming out? Who hit that first? And
(00:21):
I'll tell you. Hey, this is Kay. Hello, guys, this
is Nico Advince right here. Hi, this is c I'm
Lily Allen. Hey, it's Charlie. Y. I'm Iggiasalia, and you're
listening to Carla Marie and Anthony. It's My Day Friday.
It's My Day Friday. It's My Day Friday, Friday Friday.
It's My Day Friday. Roll up, Welcome to the Monday
(00:44):
Friday Podcast. My name is Anthony. I'm Carla Murray. And uh,
apparently someone's making a return. Who's coming back? Carla Maury?
As I approached my thirty four birthday, I decided it
was a great time to bring back twenty four year
old Carla Murray and what is what is different about
twenty four year old Carlmury than twenty no, what are
your seven year old? Will? Very soon? I thought would
(01:07):
be a great time to bring back the Carly Maury
that drinks on weeknights. Is that what you did when
you were twenty four? I feel like you it was
It was no, it was twenty It was just like
just getting it's twenty four year od Cardonman would be
drunk all the time. But I'm still also going to
practice healthy eating and working out because I need to
(01:29):
like balance it somehow. And I'm just gonna be dead,
I will say, you know the one thing about getting older. Um,
and if you've been with us, cheers, card Mary. I'm
not drinking, but enjoy what Oh yeah, I'm done with
the tea though. Now I'm all done. Um, so the
one thing I have realized. And if you've aged at all,
(01:51):
congratulations you're not dead yet. Um the whole like I
used to be. I remember when I was you know,
twenty one too. I don't know thirty issue. Um, the
amount that I drank didn't matter, like I could drink
whatever I wanted. I was still in pretty decent shape.
But it sticks with you a little more well, like
(02:11):
to hangover stick with you a little more. You like
feel it. You can see that the changes as you drink.
Here's the thing, Anthony will wake up after a night
of drinking, but I feel fine. I'm like, it's two
p m. Yeah, But that's that's the really the key
to getting over a hangover, sleeping through it. Just sleep
as long as you can drink a lot of water
when you're awake, and you're good to go. It sucks
(02:31):
for me is that my hangover food has always been
French fries and also white rice, just straight up white
rice and so I sauce, so good, so good, so good.
But I found out that I'm allergic to French fries.
Although here's where it's confusing, because like it's confusing when
I order French fries. That's just be quiet. That's different
where I'm like, now, I'm like, well, I shouldn't eat
(02:51):
French fries because that's not gonna help my stomach. But
maybe it's like my joints that I have the issue
with French fries. It could be because it always soaked
it up and I never got more sick from eating
French fries. Okay, Um, well, I don't know if French
fries ever for anybody, are good for your stomach, true,
like in terms of the shape of your stomach comes
(03:12):
about it soaks up the alcohol. I'm sure it does.
Like I I remember being at New in New Brunswick
being hung over a f and ordering French fries from
like wherever, like grub Hub. What was your So for
people who aren't aware, Uh, the best thing about Ruccos
University is the grease trucks. And there's there's a couple
(03:35):
of grease trucks. I know, there's a couple of grease
truck like storefronts as well. Yeah, like a lot of
the because like they're not like trademarked I guess or weren't.
So a lot of the um local restaurants also make
fat sandwiches. They still call them that. Well, even even
outside of the Mammouth area, like where where mom at
the university is, there was a place there maybe it
(03:57):
was called University Grillas, I don't know, something like that,
and they had a bunch of fat sandwiches. They were
replicas of what was there at Rutgers. Now I will
give Rutgers credit. I think they were the first in
New Jersey to do those sort of things. Those little
food trucks. Where is that intersection that has the parking lot.
It's not there anymore. Really put a giant dorm. So
(04:17):
where all those food trucks is there? I think they roam? Okay,
last time I was there, they roamed around and I
went back and they were actually in the parking lot
of my old dorm, and I was like, oh my god,
thank god, this wasn't a thing. Do they roll as
a pack like all the food trucks is. Here's what
doesn't make sense. If you're gonna have six food trucks
or four food trucks that all have the same thing,
(04:39):
it doesn't make sense to all be in the same place. Trucks.
Grease Trucks were a group of food trucks located on
the College FF campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick.
So they were on College, they were on George Street
and College. Uh. Grease Trucks were removed from their longtime
location in August, with plans to be relocated throughout new
(05:00):
ones are can piscataway campuses. Okay, so that makes more
sense though, because if you've never been there, now, let
makes one. I know, we've talked about it for a
little bit. They had the best worst sandwiches in the world.
And when I say that, like they would have a
sandwich that had uh, Hamburger patties, mozzarella sticks, French fries,
gravy and and you know, some weird sauce or ketchup
(05:25):
or whatever, and then all of the sandwiches were similar
to that. Right, they all had like French fries. Facts
was my favorite. That's what I think everyone got. That
was like French fries, mozzarella sticks, chicken cutlet, fat beach.
When you're trying to be politically correct, you know what's
on it. French fries, chicken fingers, and that was really
good in a marinaro sauce. Right. Yeah. They apparently are
(05:48):
on College f campus in Lot eight, so that's just
like one of the parking lots and that that is
one thing if you happen to be driving through that
area of New Jersey and you've never been, I would
actually suggest stopping at the Ruckers campus rapping yourself a
fat sandwich. So there were a couple of times where
we would, like my friends and not in high school
and college, would drive down there meet up with friends
(06:08):
who were going there and grab a fast sandwich and
then go back. So are you hungry? Are you like?
Ruckers University is the name of the food truck? Right?
I Actually I dated a girl whose family I believe
owned are You Grill? Which was like a storefront. Her
friends owned it something like that, No way, I love
are You Girl? And then that play The people who
own are You Grill? I believe also owned something down
by West Virginia. I take that back, Are you Hungry?
(06:29):
As a storefront? Are we getting to tow into this
right now? No, because people need to visit. I'm so confused.
I don't remember anything. But there's an are You Hungry?
In New Brunswick and in Nork. So I will say
this the next time Anthony and I are spending a
decent amount of time in New Jersey, We're going to
go to New Brunswick and go to Ruckers together. We'll
go to set Hall and see all your things. At
(06:51):
some point to we had campus subs, which thankfully for me,
was right around the corner for my my house. Like literally,
you turned, you made a left out of my drive way.
We were on the corner and you looked across the
street and there was a Chinese place, a pizza place,
and campus subs, and I used to get the chicken
cheese steak, like that was my sandwich all time, and
(07:11):
I would never I don't know why that was my
sandwich there. I think I ordered it once, I liked it,
and I ate it, no joke, like four times a
week when I was living in South Orange. This is
what I think we need to do. I will reach
out to someone at Rutgers to make, like to make
a really in depth tour and ask if, like I
can bring you into the dining halls. I don't want
to do that. I'm no, I'm taking you to campus
(07:32):
and I'm showing like this is a part of my
life you don't know about, Like I've taken you to
my family, have taken you to my hometown. We we
went through our first years that like work together. I've
you've never experienced my college life. But I've been to
ruts but not with me and not I not with
the house. I went to the dorm. Like, come on, dude,
never you've never been to a game with me. You
(07:52):
don't go to games, well like I don't, but you've
never been to a game with you know a football game. Okay,
because this is an ongoing thing. Wait, Anthony, you're going
to take me to But I never lived on campus,
so that's like not part of my life. But I
want to see where you failed your classes all over.
I don't know. I don't think I ever failed a
(08:13):
classes set all. Definitely got a D in my first
chemistry class. I think I didn't do well my freshman
year at university right islands late. I didn't do well
at all my first year. That's part about transferring is
the credits will come over, but not your g p A.
So if you had a shitty one, you're good. The
best part about switching majors for me at Seton Hall
was um I stopped taking bio classes and started taking
communications classes, which, let me tell you, the degree of
(08:36):
difficulty went down considerably. So like my bio classes. I
mean there was a semester where I took sell bio,
Organic Chemistry too, and calc all in the same semester.
That was my last semester in bio because it was
just so grueling. Well also, and then I went to
communications and it was like intro to TV. Watch this
(09:01):
TV show, So I'm gonna talk about journalism common a second,
this is going to be the college episode. Um, but
when you transfer within four year universities, Um, your grades
don't transfer, but your credits do. But if you get
a C, your credits do not transfer. So as long
(09:21):
as you it's almost like a past fail type of
thing kind of but A you have to get an
A or B. So I gotta see an economics that
didn't transfer. Possibly also philosophy. Based on last week's episode,
you should know there were a lot of clean up
things we got to clean up from last week's episode.
Number one turns out George Michael has been dead for
six years spoiler alert if you, like us, thought he
(09:43):
was still alive or just didn't pay attention to the
day that he died, which apparently was on Christmas. So
maybe that's why I didn't really like pay attention around
Christmas music there. Um, so that was false. That was
our inaccuracy. And then you were talking about stigma Freud
and mentioned but we were talking about philosophy and he
was more psychology. That was another um correction we had
(10:07):
to make. And I didn't know that there was a
little Mermaid too, No idea should have I didn't know
that was that a straight to VHS. Yeah, it wasn't.
It had to be because that's what That's what like
Disney's model was for a while, it was like get
people hooked on the big movie and then just straight
to VHS, so that when you went to Costco you
(10:28):
had to buy a VHS or Price Club in New
Jersey at the time, you had to buy. Yeah, it
used to be two different companies. There was a Costco
and there was Price Club, and then Costco purchased Price Club.
I believe Costco we know um and if you don't,
it is based out of Kirkland, Washington, which is why
they have all the Kirkland brand US things. And Price
Club from what I remember reading when I went down
(10:50):
a Wikipedia hole a while ago, I believe it was
a California, possibly Long Beach based company and they basically
did the same thing. It was like a club that
you bought a membership too, and then you've got to
buy things in bulk. And Costco one, I just thought
of something I don't want to forget it, so I'm
gonna say it here. Also, do the Price Club and Costco.

(11:11):
watch our show on Twitter YouTube. Please reach out to
us because I'm just I want to know why. And
even if it's I just don't feel like watching, that's fine.
I'm just like focus group need to survey. Just reach
out in any capacity, whether it's Twitter, is specifically for
people who listen to this podcast and don't watch anything
else that we do nothing, just this podcast. Okay, I
(11:33):
like that. I'm just I want to pick your brain
and you can email us. It's Hello at Carla Marie
and Anthony dot com. You can d m us. Maybe
don't tweet it like hey, I don't watch a show,
but we don't need that out there publicly. No, but
you just email us Hello at at A Sorry Hello
at Carla Marie and Anthony dot com. Maybe they just
don't do other things on the internet like email. Okay, listen.
If you don't email, we're not gonna to watch YouTube.
(11:54):
Your digital opinion is kind of invalid. Like I'm glad
that you listen. I'm not saying to not listen. I'm
just saying if you don't email, if you somehow have
made it to this point in life, where in this
weird vortex of digital space, you know how to listen
to a podcast, and you actively listen to a podcast,
but you don't email. That's real weird, right do You're like? So,
(12:20):
speaking of email, like my mom gets emails from companies
based on if you orders something. She gets random forwards,
but she doesn't like email people, meaning like back in
the day, she said. But she doesn't email friends, right,
And I feel like that's almost like a lost art
(12:40):
because once you're out of work, why are you emailing people?
You have Facebook, you have text, you have that's gone.
We just use email now for work orders, a newsletter. Yeah.
The only time I'll email with friends if there's like
a big group thing that like we're planning on going
to stage coach, so there's a spreadsheet and there's all
these links and stuff that makes the easier for email.
(13:01):
Bachelor parties always through email. Um, that's about it. I don't.
I mean, yeah, I think I use it for work
obviously currently, for like the projects that we're doing, partnerships
that we're doing. That's but I'm not just like pen
poelling people. No, I'm not like, hey, Brad, I hope
you're you and your family are good. And I did
(13:21):
that to my old voice coach and I gotta bounce back,
so they retired. I still see her on Instagram so
I can DM her there. But Joe the voice, man,
she's amazing. What do you think your voice coach would
say today if she heard you? Why do you have
a lisp? I feel like I got braces. But I
would love to take a lesson with her now because
(13:42):
I took lessons with her. By the way, Lauren, Lauren
Ray from she used to work with a self uh
the t J Show and now she's back as the
voice of Elvis the Show. Um, that was her voice
coach and she recommended me. That's how I got in.
You can't really just get into Joe the voice and
Lauren's like the pro of prose. I didn't not belong there.
I was like too embarrassed to read in front of her,
(14:03):
So keep him on. This is right when I started
doing endorsements aid Elvis the Show. And I don't know
if I've ever told the story in the podcast. Someone
emailed the show or called the show and was like, Hey,
I'm a casting director for a serial brand and we're
looking for someone to voice and I heard your voice
and I think you'd be amazing. Can you go into
(14:24):
this audition and read? And I was like what the
And Lauren was like what, like that doesn't happen Like
I've been in this interview like this is crazy and
I didn't know how to read a script like that.
Now I could do it, and I just went so
I just not only like, yeah, they liked my voice,
but they liked my voice when I was comfortable. So
like I went in. I think it was honey bunch
of votes and I did the read and I was like,
(14:47):
uh so. Then Elvis's agency get that. Um. Then Elvis's
business partner David Katz, who we love and know, and
I feel like we even had it on Monday Friday
at some point he may have hopped in. He was like, Okay,
I'm gonna help you. I'll send you on some other
auditions to whatever. So and then he or he connects
(15:07):
me with some like voice company and they like, you know,
he got you to this person. I just I sucked
because I wasn't confident. I was scared. Well that was
like and you were actually there with me. There was
a time where I guess a O L was launching
like a daily shown. I think they did for a
little bit. It was like some daily web show they
were going to do. And college friend of mine was
(15:29):
part of that project and said, Hey, what, I think
you'd actually be really good for this. Why don't you
come in an audition? And I don't think I understood
what media preparation was at that point, and I was like, Oh,
this will be easy. I'll just go in there. I'll
read some things they tell me to read, or say
some things they tell me to say, and if they
like me, that's great. I wasn't ready for the teleprompter
(15:52):
and the lights and the script, and they did. I
will say they did send me the scripts. I probably
didn't read them as much as I should have, Anthony,
I know you you did not. Now I would, now
I would actually take time and get comfortable with it.
I wouldn't, and I would be I would set myself
up to do something similar. I'd find like a I
don't know teleprompter app to practice with. And I just
remember I got so flustered that every single take it
(16:16):
only got worse. It was so I mean, someone's got
that video somewhere. It was bad, YEA, And I needed
that right Like at some point you go I failed
that thing, and after that I didn't care about failing. Yes,
So after that, I just it's not that I necessarily
(16:37):
got better at reading things. I'm sure I did a
little bit, but now if something goes wrong, I don't
get flustered nearly nearly as much. It's interesting because now
I'm like, I kind of want to try to get
back into that world, but like I see people like
Lauren who sound amazing, are incredible, and it's still a
freaking hustle, like things just don't come to you, and
I'm gonna wait obviously when my braces are off before
I do that. But I remember, like you said, like
(17:00):
you don't really know about media preparation when I went
on that first audition. They give you the script when
you get there on most of them, and because you
can read, it's not like you need to memorize that
you're reading it. It's just audio. It's voice. But like
I didn't know I can go on the hallway and
practice or like whatever. I just was like, Oh, they
just want to know if I can do it. Like no,
(17:20):
like you can do and you do three takes and
then you're done. The auditional world is weird too, because
you can, you can nail it, and you can do
everything that they told you to do. And then someone
comes in has a little bit of a different take,
maybe something that they didn't even script or right, and
they like that more because it's a little more creative
or they didn't think of it. The auditional world is really,
(17:42):
really weird. I want to see if I can find
a commercial script example. But here's what's crazy about the
voice world. Like if you land like uh, like shampoo,
for example, you can land a shampoo ad and they'll
use you for a year and you'll make so much
money one you can. I mean, it's a grind for all,
(18:02):
and it doesn't happen to everyone. What are you looking up?
Kind of find like a brand that we know like
and they're and they're script, and see if I can
read it, Like so in my voice over lessons, Oh
what you have them? No? Sorry, I'm looking at for
just a script for a commercial. In my voiceover lessons,
she would have me go into the booth and read
(18:23):
like she wouldn't be in there with me, she'd be
outside listening. And one of the things was I had
to read like a romance commercial. I had to be sexy,
and I was like, I can't do this. I'm like,
I was embarrassed, like I couldn't do it. But now
I would have like so I'd feel like so scandalous,
Like I could do it like as a joke, but
it would sound sexy. You did mention Sean White though
(18:44):
a second ago fail and when we were talking about
failure now spoiler alert, I guess we are going to
talk about some Olympics stuff. But if you haven't caught
up at this point, problem it sports, we don't care. Yeah. Um,
Sean White competed in his last Olympic this year, his
fifth Winter Olympics, which is nuts. How many did Phelps do?
(19:05):
I don't know, it's the question. So fifth Winter Olympics.
He won in Tarno, he won in Vancouver, he won
in uh South Korea. Oh, Michael Phelps also competed in
five Olympics, but he has twenty eight medals. That's that's
(19:27):
the thing. Like there's so many swimming events that Michael
Phelps can be and there's only so many snowboarding events.
And Sean White, to his credit, did do slope style
originally when it was introduced. Um, and as he got older,
I mean those tricks. He's still doing crazy tricks. Yeah,
but slope style is insane. And here's the thing about
Michael Phelps. I'm not shipping on what he does, but
he's literally swimming in a pool. People like Sean White
(19:49):
are flipping in the air, banging their body on ice constantly.
Like again, what I I literally, I'm lucky I could
dump in a pool holding my nose, But like when
you could and you compare them, and you actually can't.
But when you try to compare what they do, the
the beating it takes on a body, Like what Michael
Phelps does is what they tell old people to do
for their recovery. And Michael Phelps trains harder than most people.
(20:11):
He's genetically gifted to do what he does like he practices,
and that is a like what he's done is unbelievable.
But the degree of danger for someone like Michael, I mean,
I guess you can drown, but probably not if you're
a professional swimmer, unbelievably ironic way to go. Like the
guy he died on a segway right off a cliff,
(20:34):
so the cliff killed him, though not the segway. He
was on a Segway. How did he fall off a cliff?
You don't. We don't remember this at all. But Seawan
wh competed in his fifth Olympics, only the second time
ever that he did not reach the podium. Actually only
the second time ever that he went to an Olympic
half pipe event and didn't get the gold. So he's
(20:56):
got three golds and he has two fourth place finishes,
so like that's like having four. But I'll tell you what.
Carlon May and I were watching it on whatever NBC
had Live in their prime time slot, and it really
was I felt like I was watching the end of
an era. It's very much watching Derek Jeter retire now
(21:18):
watching Tom Brady retire, very similar, kind of the same,
and a very similar run in length and less like
the hatred of Tom Brady because like Shaun White doesn't
beat your team unless you're another country, like whatever, but
you still respect him. Um the Saan White. There's something
about him. He's so personable, and I don't know what
(21:39):
it is. I think I always thought he was a douche,
but I think I used to get him and carrot
top confusion, that's an easy thing to confuse the thing
that Sean White is credited for is not only pushing
the sport of snow snowboarding forward, Sean White was really
the first one to put all of his effort into
contests and into making see eurious money because contests for
(22:01):
a long time were just a thing that happened that
most snowboarders didn't really care about. It was just something
they did. And Sean White was the one and the
timing worked out great because they entered it into the
Olympics that wasn't considered a part. And yeah, like so
the rise of Shawn White, the rise of snowboarding all
kind of followed the same curve. And if you watch,
(22:22):
if you have an HBO Max subscription or if you
can steal it from a friend or family member, there's
a special documentary or documentary special called Dear Ryder and
it's the story of Jake Burton, who founded Burn Snowboards
and how he kind of pushed the industry forward. And
there's there's a significant part with Shaun White and how
that the teaming up of Shawn White and Burton like
(22:46):
completely pushed snowboarding over the topical. And that's what listen,
the guys that are doing tricks and the half pipe
now are way better than Shaun White was at his best. Well,
they were saying one of the guys competing with Sean
White wasn't even one years old when Sean White won
his first gold and even Chloe Kim. I mean the
(23:07):
run that Chloe Kim did to win her gold medal
in women's snowboarding back when Shaun White won his first
gold medal. If you put those runs side by side,
I mean, Shaan White went bigger, Chloe Kim probably was
more technical. I love her. I've such a cross And
that's how much the sport has progressed since Shawn White
(23:28):
got into it, which is just a testament to how
long he's been in And there's going like you're gonna
look at runs that he's done, especially early in his
career in five years and go, oh my god, that's
what someone won gold with at the time, But then
you have to remember no one else was doing. You
can do that for any sport though, like literally any sport,
but like skating. What's his name names in Chen was
(23:48):
the first person to like do like three quads. I
don't know, listen. He was one of my favorite people
to watch in the Olympics so far, he's so cute
and he's so like there it's so fun, Like that's
my favorite thing when it's fun to watch like this
to me, like these weeks of the Olympics are like
my favorite times in sports. They're good because there's so
(24:09):
many reasons. It doesn't happen all the time. You know,
a lot of people are young and like they're cute
to watch and that aspect because they also work so
hard for something that happens every four years. Well, it's
also you don't have to follow the sport to want
your country to win and understand and that the announcers
do a very good job of explaining everything. The other
thing I think that people don't give enough credit to
(24:30):
with Shaun White's rise is really snowboarding was the first
non stuffy sport in Winter Olympics. Winter Olympics are very
like they're stuffy, they're they're elitist sports, all of them.
I would say, I was going to bring this up,
like even snowboarding, it's not cheap to get into, but
it's actually probably the cheapest, but it's it's the punk
(24:51):
rock of the winter world. And that's what really catapulted
Shawn White as you had this guy with flaming red
hair doing these crazy flick punk the the uniforms are
baggy and like kind of streetwear inspired. So he was
really the first like cool winter sports athletes. And I'm
(25:13):
sure someone can pull up someone who had a bigger
uh fan base overseas or whatever. But when you watch
even if he's shooting, is that it's called ski shot
when that's uh god, what is it the biathlon where
they ski and shoot? Like that's like that you're not,
like you're cool. And even Nathan Chad, like I think
figure skating, in those things, we're able to be a
(25:35):
little more loose because of snowboarder because you got to
have funny guy to like you. You knew that the uh,
the athlete was listening to probably some like metal band
or or punk band in their headphones, and it made it.
It made winter sports cool, not this stuffy elitist, rich
person thing like you watch alpine skiing's like that's not
(25:56):
I mean, it's crazy. And I'm not trying to descredit
anything those those men are men do because we're actually
kids at this point, do um because it is unbelievably
dangerous and skillful, but it's not fun like it's not
it doesn't have that vibe. No, I agree, there are
very few things that have that, like have a vibe
to it. And I mean again, it's a lot of
it as elitist, like not everywhere you go do you
(26:19):
have a lose course. I was just gonna say, where
do I even try to lose? You know? And I
think we would be so good at the one there.
Have you seen double lose? These two people they lay
on each other, but to peen, no, but to pen
on top. So they both are they both laying face
down sandwich no up, they're both laying face up. Why
(26:42):
who made that sport? Bottom missionary? Who made that sport?
Hold on? I didn't know? Was the thing. It was
like all over the end of that was like, wait,
they just ride down together like their little kids in
a sledge. Wait, I might be getting the sport. Oh yeah,
double double lose l Look at this, I'm showing Anthony,
but google it double luge doubles l u g E.
(27:05):
Like we go to a ski resort and try this,
Like this is what I'm saying. For the first time,
this legitimately looks like the dumbest sport I've ever seen?
Are you eight years old and you're like your name's
like little Tammy and you're like, hey, Katie, do you
want to go try double loge? Like? How does this happen?
Maybe this is the only non elitest sport because really
it's just people who are too poor to get extra sleds.
(27:27):
They're like, no, no, we only need two sleds for
the four of you. You're just gonna ride on top
of one Another'll be fine. How did Jamaican bobsled team do?
I don't know. I don't know. I have no idea.
I've only been seen. I think this has been snowboarding
and skiing and uh skating, Like I haven't really seen
it much. Oh, I saw curling. I watched the Olympics
around the clock. I don't like, I have always done this.
(27:50):
This is like my thing. I love it. Well, before
we wrap up for the day and let you enjoy
your week or whatever else you were getting into. Since
we are on the topic of unbelievably gifted athletes, I
do think we should talk about me for a second.
And three days ago probably wouldn't have had this thought,
(28:11):
but recently I've gone to the gym in some off hours.
I've seen some people I haven't seen it a long time,
and I've been getting some compliments. Kind of left it
right in the gym, People that have seen me going
there for four years now going hey, you're looking looking
pretty big there. They usually get like a shoulder I
usually get like a shoulder tap or like a little
(28:31):
bicep flip. And then today the best of all things happened.
There was a kid who's probably like upper classmen in
high school, maybe younger in college, around that age into
twenty something, and he was waiting for me. Yeah, he
was waiting for me to finish up on a piece
(28:53):
of equipment. I was on the cable, the pulley cables,
and I was doing some chest exercises on the cables.
And as I finished up, I signified to him. I said, hey, uh,
I'm done here. Do you want me to leave these
handles on? Do you want me to replace him? Or
said no, no, you could leave those on. And then
right as I was, you know, putting my stuff in
my bag and walking away, he says, hey, can I
ask you a question? It was like I think he
(29:15):
was like, hey, are you Anthony. He said, uh so
I was watching you work out, like which one of
those exercises should I do for like my lower chest
or my lower pecks? And I told him which one
I think works a little bit better. But it was
just one of those moments I was like, why he
thinks that guy that kid was looking at it was
the big guy at the gym. Was he looking at
(29:35):
your lower pecks? I mean they were covered with my shirt.
You got a tank top on. Was he peeking around
you think? I don't know, there's some side boob showing.
So it was my under arm or shirt from the
Rocks line that he has an under over. I want
to sit down with that kids so bad. Which sometimes
my nipples peek out from that shirt like on the side.
Oh I don't like it. No, you're like that guy
at the gym that just wears like he just wears
(29:56):
it down the middle of his clean You know. I
make sure that I cover my nips at all times.
If I am ever at the l A Fitness and
ballard and I see your nipple out, I am going
to scream nipple could do whatever you want, Okay, I
want to sound I want to sit down with that dude,
and I want to ask him a lot of question.
The guy who asked me about kid? Why him? What
was going through your head as you were watching him?
(30:18):
Do you know what you just did to me because
you asked them? But then sometimes so like I said recently,
this week, I have had a couple of people compliment
me in the gym about you know, I guess you
would call it my physique or whatever, which is crazy
because I actually think that I'm smaller now than I
was in the summer when I was really lifting. Heap
may not be big, it may just be you're looking good.
And I don't know if anyone else thinks like this.
(30:39):
Maybe I'm just like a worst case scenario uh thinker.
But part of me is like am I in some
weird Truman show that like I'm gonna make a wish
kid And people are supposed to like tell me that
it was stronger, but I really am. Like a memo
went out to everyone in l A Fitness. I didn't
get it, but they're like, hey, guys, Anthony only has
(31:00):
three more months today. Have just compliment him off because
only started happening ever since I started going to the
gym with you that's not true. Oh also, and I
will say this to anyone who does watch us on Twitch,
be there on Twitch on Monday because there's a story
I haven't even told. Carla Maria Anthony came back from
the gym into the craziest thing happened, but I can't
(31:22):
tell you. And my blood was absolutely boiling, like I thought,
there was a good chance that someone was going to
throw down in the l A Fitness and Ballad. And
I will explain the whole story on Monday. That's all
I'm gonna leave you with right now, because it is
such a ridiculous moment. There were some highs, there were
(31:43):
some lows, there was everything in between, and it all
went down today at l A Fitness and Ballad and
I will explain all of it Monday morning on Twitch. Alright,
I will be there. You have no choice. But this weekend,
my mom and my aunt they're flying up there from
my mom's making a little pitstop for a day and
a half here in Seattle. So this is gonna my Obviously,
(32:07):
my favorite part is just seeing my mom. Right, she
doesn't have to do anything, well, she's here, but she's
gonna teach me how to make some Middle Eastern dishes.
I'm also excited. So the two things I'm gonna learn.
One is super simple. It's lebanon, which is like a
yogurt dish with some like herbs and spices in it.
The other is hummus, which both are very easy things today.
(32:27):
And the third thing and I we this is what
we call it at home. I don't know if it's
the Palestinian name or the Lebanese name because we get
those mixed up in my household. Um, but it's called
medul and mefdul is. It's made with chickpeas, chicken onions,
chicken broth, and those little, tiny, tiny tiny noodles which
(32:47):
I know as a sna peppe. Carler Me didn't think no,
because pastina is like a star, right, But it's the
same thing. To the circles, what you're telling really really small, Okay,
so maybe it's it's very similar. So it's an a pepper.
It sounds like a person. Could you google it? I
want to say it's like Ronzoni number forty four, because
you don't have everything numbered? Did you know that? Yeah?
(33:10):
The big like pasta companies have numbers for their their products.
Are you looking at the noodles. I'm on the Wikipedia
for them. It's a form of pasta. The name is
Italian four seeds of pepper. A sena is the plural
of a cino, whose root is the Latin word as
cenus sounds looks like anis, and both Latin and Italian,
(33:31):
the word means grape or grape stones, with the stones
of a grape being the seeds of the grape Sena
de pepe when translates into seeds of pepper. Okay, let
me keep okay. They are also sometimes referred to as pastina.
The Italian was a star it is. I'm very kind.
I know they were listen to this pastina Italian for
(33:54):
tiny dough. However, some pasta makers as sing as pastina
smaller than a senia de pepe. The individual says, you
usually resemble tiny cylinder. So that's for your thing, about
one millimeter or less in each dimension, like little balls.
Basically they're a little number. This chart you know when
you get something, um, oh, it's an Italian wedding soup. Oh,
or kind of looks like couscous Yes, that's the other
(34:16):
thing people call it. It's couscous okay, but it's not
because couscous is not the same. It's not like texture,
I don't think anyway. So I'm gonna learn how to
make that this weekend. So I guess I'm gonna learn too.
And I think what I'm gonna try to do is
just learn a little bit um with my mom every
so what when she visits, because now she's going to
be going out to Los Angeles like every other month
(34:36):
or so. And she basically said every time she does that,
she'll stop in Seattle for a day on her way back.
So every time I'll learn a new dish, I'll write
down some notes. Actually, it's a two hour flight, it's
really not bad. I feel like it's one's going to Florida.
It's two to two and a half. It's really not bad.
Um what you're talking about from Los Angeles to here. Yeah,
it's the same as like going New Jersey to Florida.
(34:57):
It's a little bit closer. Okay, So we're gonna be
learning these things. But I think that's only fair that
you come on Monday Friday each week and or maybe
on Twitch and share a word or phrase with us
for us all to learn. What do you mean because
you you said words that none of us know how
to repeat. They're just names. I'm sorry. No different, different.
(35:21):
There's the three dishes I like the most are all
start with them. This one is MEFL, so I would
spell it m A F t o U L or
t o o L. But you say different than I do? Not? Really?
Well you right here? Yeah, that that I can't. You
(35:41):
can't teach that. You know, you learned you were born
with that. No, but I learned through like osmosis, right,
I just heard people saying it and I absorbed it. Yeah,
we're gonna learn, We're gonna do this. It's actually how
I like all the when I was an altar boy
and a deacon in this year an Orthodox church, we
have to learn a bunch of prayers and stuff. Right,
I can sing a lot of the prayers like when
(36:01):
I'm in the church. I don't know what any of
them mean. I just know the sounds in the orders
that in the order that you're supposed to say it.

it's funny you bring that up about with your mom.
I my friend Tatum had a baby, and I said,
(36:22):
I will bring you guys food because that's like what
you know, like what I know? Right, Like someone has
a baby, they can't cook. There there is nothing that
even they can they shouldn't have to know. So I
was like, I will bring you chicken harm because that's
like the easiest, like big I can make a lot
of that at once, right, and then it's easily reheatable.
I was on FaceTime with my mom and I'm like,
(36:43):
Mom helped me, like what am I doing here? And
it was just like a lot of like back and
forth on FaceTime with her. I pretended I was putting
us slices of cheddar cheese on it, and she lost
her and I was like just kidding, and then she
was I had like packaged sliced mozzadel and she was
like what is that? I was like, this is all
I got. I couldn't find what do you usually shredded? No,
you would go and get like slice it. Granted my
(37:08):

but I only got a couple of hours with my mom. Hmile,
she's here, so I'm not going to spend most of
that on social media. I will say this, we do
have a lot of things in store. It looks like
and sounds like things are all moving in the right direction.
If we could just get our internet to be a
(38:13):
little more reliable, we would be moving a little faster.
But small business life is a life of adjusting and
adapting and learning and looking at your business partners saying
this sucks, but we're gonna be all right. But we

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
