(00:01):
Darling on my. Hand nothing beats a Jet 2
holiday that was good. He was like beats A.
Jet 2 holiday, Yeah. That was really good.
That's the only thing I can say.Wait, are you secretly
Australian? No.
Maybe in a year he wishes. Yeah, we want to live there so
badly. Australia.
Yeah. It was like, have you been?
No, it's really great. It's New Zealand is New Zealand

(00:24):
is slightly better. And I want to go to New Zealand
for The Walking tour of Lord. Of the Rings, Hobbiton.
Hobbiton, yes. Yeah, that would.
Be she just watched Lord of the Rings for the first time last
year, yeah. And I'm, did you like it?
I did. I really enjoyed it.
And then I kind of, I did kind of forget a lot.
Like he'll quote it sometimes orbe like, who is this?
Who is? And I'm like, I need to rewatch

(00:45):
it, but I'm very down to rewatch.
It I love how you speak movies, you know what I mean?
You speak movies where you speakin it's it's own language.
I feel like being able to speak in movie quotes and being able
to pull movie quotes into conversations is literally like
a almost like a SEC. I could basically be bilingual
honestly I think. Think of how much studying that

(01:05):
takes. It does.
It takes a lot of watch hours. It takes a lot.
You know what I mean? So and.
The thing about her is like, I've watched how I make rather
17 times. Like I've seen it over and over
and over again and I didn't pickup anything until like 5th or
6th watch. We watched it once and I can
quote anything and she'll know the episode.
Yeah, it's unreal. Oh, that's so cool.
Over under how? How many times is there a movie

(01:26):
quote in this podcast and who says it though so.
That wasn't really an over under.
I don't even know an over under means to be honest.
Everyone does that though. Everyone like, where were we the
other day? And she's like, over what?
What did that girl say? She was so nice, but she was
saying. I was like over under how many
this I'm like, well, we don't know.
Yet. Oh, it was over under.
It was on the Incredico star. Do you remember what I'm talking
about? We're just.
Talking. OK, we're going to the

(01:47):
Disneyland. That's the best.
Yes. Without us.
Thanks for the invite. Oh my God.
Thanks for not coming actually. Yeah.
Wait, wait, did you? You did invite us.
Oh, there's like an Ellen moment.
I was like, actually, Ellen. Actually, Ellen, you were
invited. Welcome back to the Pretty Funny

(02:11):
Podcast. I'm Brian.
And I'm Mario. Today, on our 25th episode, we
have our first guest ever. You may know them from TikTok,
from Instagram, from YouTube. We got Mackenzie and Michael.
For little background, Mackenzieis a professional Baker.

(02:34):
She's basically the cake boss. The cake bubble gum booty Batty,
right? There we go and we got Michael.
You might have seen him from allof his games.
They do scavenger hunts across the country.
We have so much to dive into. We're super excited to have you
guys here. You got killing it online and
we're big fans ourselves. Hey, we're big fan, yeah.
It's cool having our For You pages right in front of us.

(02:55):
Yeah, this. Is so nice.
Ditto, and we don't hang out with a lot of people so the
same. You.
Guys are our first creator friends.
Yeah, our. First creator couple friends.
Yeah, we're. So honored.
Thanks. We should call this too.
We could call this episode like Double Date.
You're very good at like on the spot coming up with I.
It's really cool because you didit last night too, even with
just like my cake thing. Oh, you're.

(03:16):
So good for content. It's crazy.
Yeah, you are. I have a hard time with that.
I I'm assuming that note you puttogether today came together
within 15 seconds. Oh yeah.
Yeah, it's just a combination ofmyself.
These are, you know, everything we could do.
There was like 30 great ideas. I'm so nervous and I over
prepare and like we're big fans of you guys.
We've been talking behind the scenes for months now.
Yeah, we love you guys. And this is literally day 2 of

(03:37):
actually us being together in person.
Yeah. And last night we hung out right
here, met for the first time andsparks flu for hours.
Like literally. I wish we would have recorded
that, but we have that moment with us forever.
You know what I'm saying? Like.
In our hearts. In our hearts and it's there and
it's special and it's just us and it's wonderful.
We had to break the ice a littlebit too, I feel.
Like, and I feel like we struck an iceberg with you guys.

(03:59):
We were the Titanic. Like it was awesome.
It was cool. Seriously.
Like I really enjoy your guys's company and I like to over
prepare and obviously we all like making videos.
So that's why like there's a million ideas of stuff that we
can do together. Ideas are hard man, they all
like for me if I'm doing TikTok I only have to come up with one
idea a day right? Like I'm posting once a day, it
still takes me half the day justto come.
Up I was going to say that's a lot though.

(04:20):
Like one video a day, like that's 300 days a year.
That's a lot. It is, and it's trying to like
not repeat the same things over and over again.
Obviously there's certain seriesthat do well, but.
But that's why series are so great, you know, because you
don't have to think of a new idea that day.
You just do the series that everybody.
Loves yeah, I remember hearing one time that you, I feel like,
post way too much. In a day.

(04:41):
Oh my God. So when I first go back.
Yeah, when I first started making videos, I was like, OK,
I'm in college, I'm not going toclass.
I have a lot of time. I'm going to just make videos.
And so I would make videos and Iwould live stream and the videos
were horrible because they were,they were really easy to do.
I would hold my phone and I would type the words into the
screen, like holding my phone and like showing my fingers.

(05:02):
And so those took 5 minutes. I think I went for a month of 10
videos a day. Oh my God.
Wow. If you're deciding on being a
content creator, do not recommend.
Yeah, what the hell? 10 videos a day.
Yeah, I did it. For like a month or.
Two, do you find that it's easier to make content that you
guys are since you guys have joined forces as a couple?
I find it really great because you have doubled the options.

(05:24):
You can do solo videos, but you can also do a couple videos.
For me, it was sorry, Oh my God,it was the greatest thing ever
because all I want to do is competitions, and I'm a really
competitive person and I want tobe online, so all I want to do
is challenges. And you know, there's not many
challenges you can do by yourself, right?
So I used to play Wardle againstthe computer or whatever, and it
was just not the same. And so when she, you know, was

(05:45):
as competitive as me and wanted to participate in all the games,
I was like, OK, well, we can do anything one we want.
We were talking last night and Iwas like, I think the key after
talking to you guys and then us talking and kind of seeing like
the parallels between both of us, of both of our couples, our
relationships, what I don't evenknow what to call it.
Anyways, I was like the key contributing factor between the
two of us, like all of our couple is like we're

(06:07):
competitive. Oh my God.
Like we're both very competitive.
You 2 are very competitive. And I feel like having that
competitive drive in a relationship helps out so much.
It makes everything so much moreinteresting and it puts passion
behind everything. And you guys are like, who's
more competitive? You for real?
I'm an animal. Interesting.
Yeah, I don't like to lose on the crosswords.

(06:30):
There is an app called Crosswords with Friends and we
compete and there's a mini, a MIDI and a long one and if I
don't win at least two of the three, my night is.
So the strategy is right before bed, right?
If the night gets ruined and then we go to bed, great.
We're we're in bed. I can usually bounce back, but I
like specifically with mind games where like I'm just not

(06:53):
quick enough or smart enough. It it does something to, you
know, like board games and things like that.
I feel like we're really good about like, healthy competition,
real. Quick, you say.
You're just not quick enough. You are quicker and smarter than
me when it comes to those things, so it's not like you're
not smart enough. It's that, you know, we have
different strengths. And so if it's OK if it's.
Sports Fan Friday on the app. Fair, then.
You know that'll do it for me. But if it's Music Monday.

(07:15):
That was wonderful. It's almost, I don't know if you
feel this way. It's almost irritating how nice
he is because I can't be mad. Yeah, like, I want to be
irritated, but he's so nice. Yeah, like fine.
No, it almost like makes me moremad sometimes and I'm like,
where are you? Where's the passion?
What's wrong with you? That's what I'm.
Saying no, it's a thing you related on that.
I was like, oh, I was like. Or am I like that sometimes?

(07:37):
Calm down, not all the time. I'm a sweetie, it's true, I
know. I'm just so nice.
And humble. Yeah.
And so humble about it, you knowwhat I mean?
It's just it's no big deal. Yeah.
Well, it's a thing though, because she's always like, oh,
if I'm mad, I want you to be madwith me.
If somebody cuts me off on the highway, like, you got it.
You got to get in there and be mad too.
And I'm like, I'm like, like I, I hate you.

(07:58):
And it's like, it's the mood. It's a blessing and a curse,
man. I do not like, I avoid
confrontation like it's the plague.
Like I will not say anything to anybody if I think it's even the
slightest bit out of line. And as a result, not good.
Like in middle school, this started in middle school.
I was the guy that brought a pack of gum to school one day.
And everybody was like, yeah, yeah, can I have a piece of gum?

(08:19):
And I was like, yeah, sure. And then like two months later,
I had brought like, you know, the entire aisle in CVS in my
backpack just so that everybody could be satisfied with me that
day. Oh, it's not lost a lot of money
that you. Mean that's not That was my
sweetest story ever. Yeah, but that's not, I mean in
the real. He was spending all of his
earnings on that. Was my snow sub one so it.
Was like you in a driveway like I got it misses.

(08:41):
Peterson. And you're like shoveling snow
and you have a whole thing of spearmint and Altoids and yeah.
Pretty much, but the voice needsto be like 6 active sire.
Online, you guys play a ton of games, ton of games, all board
games, all like whiteboard games, wordle, you name it like
love watching wave like all these games, but but we were
talking last night and you guys have not dove into the video

(09:02):
games at all. Man, so do you want to tell the
story? No, you go ahead.
So we were, we were going to go to a movie The other day and we
haven't gone to a single movie in the history of our
relationship. We haven't done it.
What in Florida? In Florida, there's this thing,
I guess at the movie theater shegoes to where it's like a super
cheap deal on Tuesdays. But we just haven't really gone.

(09:22):
And so we were at this trip and we were like, I want to go on a
date. And we were like, let's go to a
movie. There's the one movie out that
you really want to see. I think it was Superman.
And we look and the tickets are ridiculous.
And so we're like, all right, let's go on Tuesday.
And they're still ridiculous. And so we're like, OK, cheap
dates, like, do they exist? And our answer was like, no.
So we we found out a really goodthing that day.
We went to IKEA and we just walked around and pretended we
were an old married couple. And that was really fun.

(09:43):
But aside from that, we wanted more cheap dates.
And we were talking about it. And I think it was what?
Your brother and his girlfriends.
Yeah. Play a lot of videos.
Both of her brothers and their girlfriends or wives play a lot
of video games and they have a great time and it's essentially
free. I mean, it's a one time payment.
Yeah, we have never like either of us.
I mean I played like freaking Wii sports, like 3 point
contest. As a kid.

(10:04):
But aside from that, that's pretty much it.
I think you're the same, right you.
Played The Sims. Yeah, Sims.
Roller Coaster Tycoon. You guys know how it is.
I'll say enjoy. It no.
So we were like, I'm not, I'm not.
Yeah, fair enough. It's computer games.
It's where you like build a world.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But.
Yeah, it's like my younger brother and his fiance and my
older brother and his wife, They, the girls never played

(10:27):
video games growing up, but as away to like bond with my
brothers, they started playing and now they like, play as
couples and they like, it's a really great way to just hang
out without putting like too much pressure on yourselves and
and. There's team ones, I think, and
there's individual ones, yeah. You can be competitive or you
can be on the same team. Yeah.
So we're really our plan is to get into it when we get home
because obviously we don't have any kind of stuff with us in

(10:49):
California, but. Yeah, when you guys do we need
to play online together and we can literally do Mario video
cart and yeah Mario party run a squad of four on Fort.
I don't even care. You know what I mean?
Like we have a great time to because it's like I feel like
the the Co-op video games and like playing video games with
your partner and we all have that like competitive drive.

(11:10):
There's games where it's you're not even competing.
Yeah, I feel like we all. Grew up.
There's a little competition there.
When you're playing split fiction and it's like, who's
gonna get to the checkpoint first and have to wait on the
other person? That's I was about to say.
Our two recommendations are split fiction and it takes 2.
Oh yeah. We've.
We've heard of that. Yeah, that was one of the ones
we're thinking about getting. It's like you saw you guys do a
video or a live stream or something playing it.

(11:30):
Oh yeah, that was how I found. Out about it it's so much fun
like because it's like you're competing kinda, but most of
it's like teamwork and cooperating and like you can sit
down and play a board game and do all that whatever.
You can sit down and watch a show together, but like, it's
cool still being able to communicate, yeah, IRL while
you're watching your own show that you're playing.
I was like, there's also still like a really good storyline and

(11:53):
like, it's just it's so much fun.
Yeah, I'm not recommended enough.
Yeah, we're going to get into it.
So like, I'm notoriously bad at video games.
Like, I just don't have it. Like I don't got the gene.
I don't know what it is. He got a.
Dog in you. I don't have that dog dog in
you. So I have one very, I don't know
if this is like a niche pole or not, but Mario Bros, like the
Wii where like you would go through all the worlds and

(12:14):
whatever. My friend always had it.
This is my upstairs neighbor andhe was really good at it.
And so I would like live in the bubble.
I don't know if that means anything to you.
How I was, and I am here to tellyou that there is hope.
I can like confidently play video games.
Now that's huge because I couldn't.
And so that was like kind of like, it was fun, but it was
like kind of what drove me away from video games 'cause I was
like, right, I saw like basketball.

(12:35):
Like that was it. So you're more like sports.
I was like, I've seen you, you made a video and you were like,
I know when someone's good at basketball and it pisses me the
fuck off. Like no, no, no, because like
I've always wanted to be like I'm so jealous of like athletes
and people that are naturally gifted.
You made a video, I think it waslike a 10 second video of you
like just shooting hoops, just like hot going up for layups.

(12:56):
I couldn't agree more. I'm watching this dude.
He's like warming up, doing his thing and like there's something
about basketball that just so fluid and just like, I don't
know, just so what's the word towatch and like being good at it
is just so smooth. It sounds like a swagger.
Exactly. And like you got that swagger
like I've seen. So you played a lot of ball.
Yeah, you were like, oh, you know, I always wanted to be

(13:18):
naturally good about. I was not.
I play sports. Like I sucked at basketball.
My dad called me road map because I travelled so much.
Literally, it was terrible. And then I played baseball my
whole life and I was like my main sport.
I really like baseball. I wrestled a little bit.
Whatever. I just spent all of my time ever
growing up doing it. I didn't do anything else.
I I literally didn't do anythingelse besides basketball,
baseball, and like, that was it.Yeah, so such a good childhood

(13:41):
though. Oh, it's great because I just,
I, I'm like super into like the NBA and the MLB and like
following. I'm an analytics guy and I
wanted to like be like all my favorite players.
What about you guys? Were you indoor outdoor kids?
I was outdoor. Yeah, 1000.
Percent, yeah. Cute.
Well, you grew up in like, a very outdoorsy state.
Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, okay, grew up.
Oh my God. That's fair.
Did you guys grow up? How did we skip all of that?

(14:03):
Are you guys still here? Like what are we doing?
No, but like seriously, where did you guys grow up?
I grew up in Florida. I don't know.
I'm sorry. What part?
No, it's fine. I love it.
What part? I grew up in Orlando, FL.
Oh my. They grew up in the same town
that we live in right now, yeah.Oh.
Have you left ever? Yeah, I've left for like short
stints, OK, but never for like an A super extended period of

(14:25):
time. Yeah, I want to badly.
Yeah, specifically Illinois, Chicago or California.
Well. I lived in Florida for six
years. I was stationed there.
Panama City Beach. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
So I understand, you know, the Florida man's a real thing, you
know, and it's dangerous. And you stay away.
Oh my. God, it's unbelievable.
Like I, I had never been to Florida really at all until I
lived there and it is unbeliev like the the I don't want to say

(14:48):
stereotypes, but like what you think of when you think of like
these, you know, Florida men. Oh my God, it's so.
It's crazy. You you go to like high school
baseball game. We went to one of her cousin's
high school baseball games and like the crowd is terrifying.
Floridian. The crowd is there, man.
It's just a whole stands of likeGators and like everyone showed

(15:09):
up on their fan. Boat 100% Gators on leashes no.
Some people have Kappa baras down there.
Do you know that? No.
White people walk Kappa Baras. Yeah, yeah.
What in tarnation? Oh, what in tarnation.
I would have one. Oh, I would 100%, yeah.
Yeah, as a pet. Yeah, would you?
I don't know, don't they have giant teeth?
I say that, but like I probably wouldn't.

(15:29):
Yeah, like I. Like the idea of it, but like
reality. I'm good with cats.
I. Guarantee.
Oh my God, same. Yeah, I love.
My, Do you guys have cats? Yeah.
This is the first episode that we filmed away from home, and
usually our cats come in all thetime.
Can we? Emma, who's right here?
Wait, what if you could show a quick little montage of the
cats, You know, maybe with some Sarah McLachlan?

(15:50):
Are you a singer? Hold on, he ain't no.
Oh my God. From here in this dark, cold
hotel room and the endlessness that you feel, wow.

(16:11):
Speechless. So you know, like here's the
thing, she like, I know she can sing.
I know she can sing really well.I can tell.
Like I can tell there's this little like riffs that she'll do
occasionally, but she will neversing.
She has never ever like tried tosing for me, but I know she can
and I know she's super talented and I would love it.
I love music, but she won't do it.
It pisses me off when people areso talented and then they just

(16:31):
like, it's like sing and they'relike, I'm just gonna make a joke
of it. It's like, I know you can sing
like an adult. First of all, you could do it.
Excuse me, I. Was trying.
You think that was a joke? Do it.
Yeah, it was a joke. I know you could do, but I know
what you're doing, right? Now I see through you.
During Covad I was like really, really depressed and I had

(16:52):
nothing to do other than like bake.
And I started going to therapy around the same time.
My therapist is like, you need ahobby, like get it together.
So I started taking piano lessons and I started taking
singing lessons at the same time.
And so for like all of Covad, I just, I'm like up until this,
I'm not taking singing lessons anymore.
But yeah, it started like as an adult and it was really fun.

(17:15):
And so I told her. She's got it in her man.
I know she does for sure. Super talented and I'll never
hear it over under 6 1/2 years until she sings for me for the
first time. Over genuinely.
I feel like it's never too late to embark on literally anything,
you know, especially like for what we do, you know what I'm
saying? Like, I was a firefighter in the
Air Force for 10 years. Like you worked at Red Robin and

(17:36):
went to college and like, like, and everyone's got their old
different backgrounds. And then, like, I, I think it's
pretty safe to say that the majority of people that are in
the social media space get a late start.
Yeah, you know what? I.
Mean 'cause creativity can be atany age.
It's not like like a sport that you can't necessarily embark on
when you're like 60, but you cantake up painting or piano or
whatever it might be. Like anything creatively, for

(17:56):
the most part you can start at any age.
Yeah, I agree. I think the arts are like one of
the most important things. Oh, 1000.
Percent. I played piano for 13 years,
growing. Up.
Really. That's so cool, I'd love it.
I don't remember anything nowadays.
But like, it's not like it's notlike she plays.
Yeah. What are we doing here?
I can't. Do it.
Why do you both downplay each? Like it's just like our jobs to

(18:16):
be like, look how beautiful and amazing and talented these
people are. And there's like we thak and
we're terrible. She plays very well.
Like she sat down and picked herright up like a bicycle.
Regardless, regardless, I did a lot of like creative things as a
kid. I was in dance, I did piano, I
loved art. Like I started doing makeup when
I was like 7, like I love. And if I didn't have that, I
don't wanna know where I would be.

(18:37):
Yeah. And I know you're the same when
it comes to comedy, which is a creative outlet and.
I was a theater kid. We need to ask Michael where
he's from. OK.
I'm from Chicago. I'm from the city, I'm from
Chicago. I'm not from the suburbs or
anything. If you're from the suburbs and
you say from Chicago, I understand because what else was
supposed to say? I lived right by I lived right

(18:57):
by Wrigley Field. I loved it.
IA lot of people ask me why I can't drive when I'm 24 while
I'm scared. But like also, you don't really
need to in Chicago. You can take the I used to take
the train to school every singleday.
Took the train back from school.I had a really nice little
neighborhood that still exists. She attested that and and then
in college I went to Northern California, Santa Clara, Steve

(19:19):
Nash for any basketball. Hell yeah.
Did a year in LA right after college cuz I didn't really know
I wanted to do content. I was already doing content.
I didn't finish school so I was like well this is my thing now
cuz I couldn't do that. And I was like okay I think I
wanna do San Diego cuz San Diegoseems like a really cool place
to live. I was looking for a place or
whatever and then I got invited to Vidcon by one of my friends

(19:42):
and he had mutual friends that were there that he got dinner
with. And then they invited me to
lunch the next day. And I met them and they, we
clicked instantly and I was like, Oh my God, these guys are
so cool. And then so they introduced me
to like 1020 people that weekendat Vidcon and it was so great.
And I had met creator friends and every single time I met
somebody, I asked them like, oh,where do you live?
They're like, oh, Los Angeles. I was like San Diego and they
were like, no. So I went back to Chicago for

(20:04):
two days, packed up my stuff andthen I was gone.
I was in LA the next day. With no place to live, couple of
my friends let me stay at their place for like a month and 1/2
until I found a place and you'rein LA and now I'm happily in
love in Florida. Damn.
Until March when we're getting the fuck.
Out. Yeah, so cool though.
Oh my God. So you like, really have that?

(20:25):
Like I went out to Hollywood to like, pursue my dream.
Oh, and when I went out to, I went out to literally I was.
On the Blvd. Oh, that's right up the
Boulevard. Not ideal.
And did you have your drivers license?
Did you have a drivers? I I don't have drivers.
So you still don't. Have a drivers that's my biggest
fear so. You couldn't even live in a car.
No, you did it crazy. So why buddy?
So like when my friends were there, it was great because I
would hang out with them. Sometimes I wouldn't even stay

(20:46):
in my own place. I would stay at theirs or
whatever. Oh yeah.
And then I, I, I saw that they got stranded in Mexico for half
the next year because one of them couldn't get their visa to
come back to the States. One of my friends, she's
British, she couldn't get her visa, so they were stranded in
Mexico. And so I had to live the
Hollywood life for six months. Damn man, you do not want to
live the Hollywood life for six months, especially without a
car. Do you want to talk about it?

(21:07):
So what did you have to do, Michael?
Tell us, what did you do? I didn't leave my room.
You didn't. For six months.
So how did you guys meet? Yeah.
How did it all come together? Yes.
We met online, yes. Like through TikTok, OK.
Yeah, same timeline, same beginning of our relationship,
like it's actually. It's weird.
That's so cool. Yeah.
Listen kids, get on social media.

(21:29):
Start. Making videos kid up Strange if
your. Life.
Reveal themselves to you. Yeah, that's actually why.
Nothing else at all. I would say.
Like I would never meet up with a man.
Yeah. A man, yeah.
But I felt like there was an element of like, I kind of like
knew about Michael and also he is like the most honest open

(21:51):
book, so like. These are not good things.
Well, I guess. It's a great thing.
It's a. Great thing I I.
Appreciate it. I feel like that like, yeah,
they can go. I, I absolutely, yeah.
I, I, I think there are limits, but I, I, I love that about him.
I respect it a lot. But also, I was going to say as
nice and cute and pretty as Brynseems online, she like she said

(22:14):
a second ago that we are like similar.
She I you're just so awesome. And like, yeah, you're just so
great and you're so pretty. I'm staring at you.
I'm in love with you. I'm so happy.
No, I'm literally so happy that we met up because I was so
excited to meet both of you guys.
But obviously you especially thanks because I know like I

(22:36):
think it was over a year ago we my manager told me to like hit
you up. Yeah, about.
I had asked delivering cupcakes.Yeah, I asked if I could deliver
a cake to you, to my manager at the time.
Yeah. And she was like, oh, she's part
of the same, the same company. I know her manager.
I'll reach out. And then it just never came to
fruition. But you followed me because I.
Did and I remember I like stalked through your page and

(22:57):
like literally the same as Michael said I was like this
girl is so talented, she's so cool, she's so pretty.
She like she's so she seems likesuch a wonderful, amazing
person. It's so nice to finally meet up
with you in person and like knowthat that's all true.
It's. Beautiful.
I feel like I'm in a perpetual state of confusion and panic and
what is my life? I'm the luckiest guy on earth.
Like I feel like, can you relateto my gosh?

(23:19):
Honestly, it's like, why are they with us?
Like what? Did we do?
What do we do? No service.
I'm telling you, when I first saw your page, I was like, what?
And like, yeah, I'm. I could not relate with like
looking through your like I feelthe exact same way.
And like I just feel lucky everysingle day.
I feel like everyone should strive to be with somebody.
And like I've always talked about being with somebody that's

(23:40):
like out of my league or somebody that like I literally
have to woo. That's somebody that like I have
to perpetually do things, not like do things for, but do
things because I really want to,you know what I mean?
And like, I feel like our relationship would have never
happened if it wasn't for, like,being online, which is so weird.
Yeah, yeah. And I know people have something
like dating apps and stuff and whatever, but like, it's kind of

(24:02):
the future. You know what?
I took like dating app, Yeah, I really like.
It was for us, so many couples that I I see online men on tech
talk. But yeah, so much.
I in my opinion, it's so much more complex of a dating app
because you're you're, you have an entire like your profile on
I've never been on a dating app,but your profile on Tinder, I'm
assuming is just a few photos, maybe some words, whatever.
Your profile on TikTok. If if you really document

(24:22):
yourself like that is a laundry list of personality.
Traits that they can. Just lurk and yeah and see into
and so you knew a lot about me before we started dating.
Yeah, because you can go like years back and I'm sure you guys
did the same thing we did where like you can go and stalk and
see like, OK, I can kind of gather.
Stock Stock is such a strong. I feel like everybody.
No, but no, but like every I feel like it should be your

(24:47):
duty, like the first time you meet anybody like, oh, I'm for
sure looking you up. I'm looking at everything and
you posted it publicly. So how is it stalking?
You know what I mean? Like if you hung a bunch of
pictures of yourself all downtown and people were
stopping and staring at them, you're like, hey.
You're right. What are you doing?
It's that's exactly what social media is like.
You made the conscious choice topost something.

(25:07):
So like, me going like super deep like a few years back and
looking at Bryn looking fine as fuck.
Like, that's not, that's not creepy.
Like what? Yeah.
I agree. That's not stalking.
Lurk. Right.
Just a little lurk, but like everything like you can really
like figure out a lot of times, like I mean, depending on the
person, but you can figure out their views and their values and

(25:30):
their beliefs and what kind of person they are, how active they
are, like what they do for fun. Like literally every character
trait that you would want to know for someone that you want
to be in a relationship with. Yeah.
And it's really. Cool, It is really cool if.
They're the type of person that puts all that stuff online,
which I was true again. I, I, I think I, I think I told
you guys this yesterday, but like I would like when I was in
college and I was really lonely because I lived by myself and I

(25:52):
wouldn't leave my apartment because I had to just make
videos all day. I would cry for hours on live
being like, oh, I tried to talk to a girl today and she didn't
respond because I was just so lonely And all I did was watch
ROM coms. And so I wanted that and I had
never had it. I never even tasted it.
So I wanted it so bad. I was almost obsessed with it.
And so I would just cry. And like, you know, that stuff's

(26:12):
still out there. So she saw that have.
It, it is, it makes me like, actually, I'll like literally
cry over it because he's so nice.
It's. Beautiful.
Like it makes me sad that he like didn't don't.
No, you're good. You're good.
You're good. You're good.
You're good. It's crazy.
What she, what she was trying tosay is it makes her sad.
How pathetic, no? You.

(26:35):
Loser. Wow.
Yeah. Oh my.
God, he's the best. It makes me so like poor Pookie.
Like he just wanted love. You know, but it was a good
talk. I was making 10 videos a day.
Yeah, fair enough. I'm.
Straight you don't. Remember.
What's that Good? I heard you.
Never related to a human being, more I think in my entire.
Existence. Cool life.
I was like the helpless, hopeless guy on TikTok.
I was alone in my apartment, yeah, making video you can

(26:56):
scroll back and watch. And I just treated TikTok as my
diary and my followers were my little community.
And I was just like having the time of my life, just like it
was my outlet. Like I was really lonely.
But I had like, you know, I, I could post and you know, Mario
Fest and like you showed up and I feel like you did the same.
Like whatever you put into the world, you get back.

(27:17):
And if you're suffering, if you're in pain, if you're super
emotional, you're lonely, whatever.
But you're truly passionately striving to be your best self,
your most unapologetic self and like things will come to you.
I swear to God. I truly, truly, truly believe in
that. I believe in anything.
I believe in that. And so like 100% you saying all
of that. I was like, Oh my God, that was
me. And then like the most scrum

(27:39):
dilly delectable literally showed up into my life and like
you guys are describing, I'm like, oh, so it does work.
Like that's like it's beautiful.Like I love that for you guys so
much and I could see, I mean, I wish you guys were here seeing
this live. Like the connection your guys is
just, Oh my God, it's so beautiful.
It really is. It's wonderful to.
So you guys really seem like you're made for each other.

(28:01):
Yeah, and I don't say that lately.
Thank you it is crazy because I was like a love hater like he
wanted love so bad. I was like don't.
It is kind of funny, right? Yeah.
Like how opposite, yeah. Yeah, super opposite my family,
like when I told them I was dating someone and that like we
held hands and cuddled, it was legitimately they were in shock.

(28:21):
I was not touchy. Like nothing literally like
don't. And then I started dating him
and it was like, and my mom always told me she was always
like, you know, when you find the right person, you'll enjoy
that stuff. And I was like, yeah, well.
I you know, men are gross. Yeah, but it's, it's true, like
when you're with the right person and like changes things,

(28:42):
you know? Yeah.
Which, and you should wait untilyou feel that way with somebody
if you don't trust your gut, like what?
I don't know, how many times do you meet people and you're like,
oh, you guys are this is oh, wow, OK, what?
You know what I mean? Like not being like judgmental.
Or anything but just for sure I'm like.
Oh, you guys aren't really like.Patico what's the word
Compatible compatible compatiblecompatico.

(29:05):
I thought there was a fancy way to say that.
Compatico when two people compatible metro the.
Newest mattress company. Patico, welcome to Compatico.
I don't. Is that a word?
Compatible. Compatible.
Yeah. Yeah.
If you're not with that person, you know it.
Yeah. It's like that, plain and
simple. Like, I feel like there's people
out there and I feel like there's people every single day

(29:25):
that like, know in their bones that maybe they shouldn't be
with somebody. Yeah.
And for whatever reason, they just think that they have
somebody that they have to stay with that because if they lost
that, then what would they have?What do they have after?
That it's like when you pursue your passions and you're
unapologetically yourself and you put that out there, look
what happens. Like I really truly believe that
you have to be comfortable alone.

(29:45):
And even if you're not OK with being alone, you still got to
make it through and you still got to be positive and you still
got to be optimistic. And then boom.
Because then like if, if you don't find that comfort, which
we've talked about, I didn't andI still got very lucky.
I feel like that's when it gets a little tricky.
Because then if you do get into a relationship and you haven't
healed that part of yourself andyou didn't do that throughout
the relationship either, then God forbid the relationship's

(30:08):
ending. You really don't have anything
to like lean back on. You don't have like yourself and
it's you can't put your whole personality into the
relationship and everything relyon the relationship, right.
And I like, I think you were kind of saying too, I feel like
you can kind of see when that ishappening with people you might
know in in person. It's funny you guys aren't that.

(30:29):
No, no, no, I don't think we are.
Yeah. You're not.
Yeah. And even if we said you weren't
like, you guys know who you are,you know?
What I mean, like something thatI think is also so important and
I think helps with that is Mike.OK, So I don't have like, a lot
of girlfriends, but I have my work.
Michael has his work and his friends.
Like, he's so good about talkingto his friends and like having

(30:52):
things outside of the relationship.
Yeah. Which I think a lot of people
forget, even even like myself, I'm not great at like, starting
new friendships. I just, I get too anxious.
Like I literally do you. Ever feel stressed about like,
like, do you ever have that realization that maybe you don't
have as many friends as he does and you get really anxious about
it? Yes, I have.
I feel bad. Yeah.

(31:13):
I have. My best friend.
She lives in upstate New York. She is like my platonic soul
mate. Yeah, but she lives far away.
I see her once, maybe twice a year.
And he has so many friends. And they, like, love each other.
They're like, they're for each other.
They're really good people. Like, I really like the people
he surrounds himself with. And then I see that and I'm so

(31:34):
envious of it because like, I would love to go, like he just
had a guys weekend. I would love to have a girls
weekend, but I just can't get myself to put myself out there.
I can't do it. Like I'll even make plans and
then I'm just like, don't talk to me.
I can't and. That's really valid.
And I will say I feel like we have lost him to a very nice
friendship here. And if you ever wanna do a girls

(31:54):
trip, or even if it's just the two of us, I can do like a
double date couples trip. Yeah.
Literally on right now. Making friends is really hard.
I tell her this all the time. I have a lot of friends that I
talked to. They all kind of fell into my
lap, whether it was high school,college or Vidcon.
And then, you know, those peopleintroduce me to other people and
those people introduce me. I didn't actively go out and

(32:15):
like try and seek out friendships.
They kind of just were there andI got really lucky.
But the thing about them is thatthey all love her.
And so we've done a few weekendswith them and so, you know, they
always include her and they loveher.
So my friends are your friends. OK, I, I, I really didn't
believe him until I met them. Yeah, we all stayed at an Airbnb

(32:35):
for the weekend and they're like, oh, we're going to do the
beach tomorrow and then we're going to do the dinner.
And I was like, OK, have fun. And they're like, you're not
coming. And I was like, I invited and
they, they like included. It was the cool.
It was really, really great. It was so awesome.
It was like a really good feeling to be included because
you know, some guys don't want girls around their friends and
like they're doing weird shit and like they don't want the

(32:57):
girlfriends around. And I get that.
We were. Just playing catch on the beach.
Man, yeah, it's so cute. They're so wholesome and fun.
I loved. It yeah, I feel like if you ever
like wanted to do a guy's night,which obviously wouldn't be like
toxic and I'd be like yeah, I'llgo do whatever, but there would
be a piece of me that would be like, why the.
Well, is that all my really close friends don't live by us?
Yeah, you know what I mean? So it's like I don't go out that
often, whatever. But like we're always like
talking like at a distance and then a lot of dudes out there

(33:20):
wondering why, you know, I haven't hit him up.
Maybe I I don't know, like I like my girlfriend.
So like every time I like brought her around and you guys
were rude or disrespectful or you guys still like, I can't
believe this from hell with us anymore.
Like I just, I don't. Why doesn't talk to me?
Yeah, why? Oh my God, Wake literally
donates for the most of the time.

(33:41):
I was like the only one that brought my girlfriend and it's
like hey guys we're at the fucking bowling alley.
Like why can't she be there? Like I don't know what I'm
saying. Like what are we doing?
Like why is it it feels like some we do?
What are we doing? What are we doing?
There's some people that like live to get away, you know what
I mean? Like they live to go out and not

(34:01):
be around their wives or girlfriends or whatever, you
know what I mean? And they talk about their
partners like they're a disease.And I'm like, why are you even
with? Them Why are you together?
What are you doing? Like why aren't there 16 people
here instead of just 8 dudes? Like what is this sausage fest
like? Like I don't, I'm not even
joking. Like I would much rather have my
girlfriend here. And like I just, I don't get it.

(34:22):
I've never understood it. I don't get it.
I've been called a Pansy, a pussy, a wussy, an idiot,
whipped, whatever. Like I've been called a million
things by all these insecure douche bags because I like my
girlfriend and I'm like vocal about it or like bring her along
with things. Like I've never fucking
understood it and it's always made me so.
Just like just annoyed. Just say your girlfriend hates

(34:44):
you. Or wouldn't it be fun to have
her around because you don't like her?
Just say that to say you have a terrible relationship, yeah.
Yeah, literally. Like it's.
So annoying. Yeah, thank you.
It's literally something. Speaking of that, I don't know
how you guys, like, do you find that you're dealing with, I
wouldn't say criticism, but likejust opinions, like outside
opinions of your relationship. How do you deal with that?
So many all the time because of the Internet.

(35:07):
Yeah, but like, even more so than that.
And this isn't necessarily talking about us, but it is a
point that I would like to touchon is like I know in the past
I've had some friends where likeI would start talking to a guy
or dating a guy or girl and theywould be like.
Girl. Upset.
Yeah, I'm bisexual. Awesome.
Did I know? That we knew that.
Did I know that that's. We're hearing it.

(35:30):
Live. Go ahead.
Oh my gosh. Breaking news.
The breaking. News.
I love that. Sorry.
I'm sorry to instruct you. Go ahead.
No. It's really fine, but I would I
start hanging out with that person more and more and my
friends, one friend that I used to have in particular would get
upset with me because I was spending a lot of time with them
and being like, your friend should always come first.

(35:51):
And like, why are you like immersing yourself in this
relationship so much and da, da,da.
And like they would say that it's an unhealthy sign.
It's toxic. And I agree that, like, maybe
sometimes if you're, like, cutting off people in your life,
obviously that is a sign of, like, emotional abuse and da,
da, da, da. But in the long run, I'm like,
this is the person I want to marry.
Yeah. Like, I'm going to spend the
rest of my life with them. And it is gonna be just the two

(36:15):
of us. And you are gonna be on the back
burner, very far on the back burner.
And that's just the way that life goes.
And that would always frustrate me so much.
Yeah. Find somebody that inspires you
and that. No, I get it.
Yeah. I think that that's one thing
that personally I didn't like when it came to criticisms or
opinions on a relationship. Aside from that though, the ones

(36:36):
that don't matter but are annoying and are present are
just like the ones from online and it's just like.
I've, I don't care. I'm not like at this point I'm
so far into the game. I have a digital asteroid
creator and I'm like, everyone knows who I am.
There's no hiding it. I've posted thousands of videos.
I got millions of people. We all have millions of people

(36:56):
watching us or every move, whatever.
And it's like, if you don't likeit at this point, why are you
still here commenting? You get unfollowed years ago.
Block me leave. Me the.
Fuck alone. Please God I'm not reading your
comments. Anyways, thank you for the
engagement. Like if anything, and maybe
that's what helps honestly, but like, do you?
Really. Stay while.

(37:18):
Do you think that I would read your comment of you saying
something about me and I'm actually going to like, well, I
guess at whatever faceless fucking dumbass account said
this? So I guess I have to like, you
know, just completely change my personality.
Like, yeah, I think that's what's the benefit of coming
into this late. Being being yourself already
before putting yourself out. 100% I feel like when you join

(37:40):
later in life, like you already know who you are, you've lived a
real life. Like in the real world, we're
ranging from like 24 to 30 yearsold.
We're all a little later in the game and we're all pretty fresh
to the social media scene. But like, I don't see that as a
disadvantage at all. Because like when I do my comedy
or do my bits or tell my jokes, or you do your makeup or you
talk about your life or like youguys are talking about baking or

(38:02):
you're playing your games and whatever.
And like you guys are talking about cheap dates.
Like I want to go on a cheap date, you know what I mean?
Like very tangible, real world experiences that people can
relate to. And I feel like 10 years from
now, that's what's really going to be shining through online.
And so the people that are like,why aren't you behaving this way
are acting like this or being performative and being that

(38:23):
perfect relationship because we're real fucking people.
Like, I don't know what else to say, like honestly.
No, it's true. Yeah.
Since we are all new friends, wewanted to play this game that
our lovely editor Emma brought us called.
We're not really strangers, so we're just going to go around
the group. All right, I'm.
Playing a little. Game and we've talked about
before how like game with them. We talked about before,
literally I think it was a couple episodes ago, like

(38:43):
playing porn games. It's like such a great
icebreaker, you know what I mean?
Like you're newly dating somebody.
We know you guys love games. Yeah, we're all newly dating.
Each other. We're like the Charlie Brown.
Yeah, what's that song? Slave.
Christmas album coming soon. How was that?

(39:05):
So Mario's going to ask a question and then we're all
going to answer it, and then we just pass.
Well, and then I'm going to do. It it's just a card game.
We're just getting to know each other.
OK. What was your first impression
of me? Obviously.
No, literally like hot. I want that.
Gimme now you guys. My first impression of you was

(39:27):
with Bran. And like, I saw you with
Brandon. I was like, wow, he loves her
butt. Yeah.
I think the first, I think the first video I ever saw of you,
you were calling her a bubble gum booty Batty.
And then like, since then, you've added to it and you say
it so quickly. And so like Florida State.
Yeah. That it's.
It's very impressive you. Know what?
That was mine. You stole my I was going to say
Eminem reincarnated. I guess.

(39:49):
Bubble gum, booty, Batty, bodacious, you know, blah blah
blah blah. I was like.
Delectable delicious bubble gum Booty Betty got you.
Gorgeous guy. I was like Sorceress.
Yeah. Talent gift.
Use it. Humble, talented, hard working,
amazing. I mean like.
Wrong one. I keep thinking it's.
That scared me so badly. What the fuck, right?
On the dress. This.
I don't know that I think all the people that inspire me like

(40:09):
rabble, Ninja carry and stuff, like they have all these funny
little sayings. And I've always thought it would
be so fun to just be able to just come up with fun ways to
say things and you know, just have my own little slogans and
terms and whatever. And like, that's literally where
that started and it just kind of.
And you're so good at it. Yeah.
Yeah, really talented. Appreciate it.
What about me intrigues you? I have an answer, do you want

(40:33):
me? To.
Go. Yeah, you go, please.
I don't know if I'm treating. This is something we talked
about yesterday. And I thought this was, I asked
a question and you gave an answer that I was like, wow,
that's really impressive. We were talking about how a lot
of creators like they they get, you know, they jump into these
trends and they get really big off one thing and then their
page dies and they're never ableto recover.
And you were like, oh, like thathappened to me.
And I was like, oh, my God, likeI didn't, I'm sorry.

(40:54):
And then you were like, Oh yeah,I had this one trend that I was
really big on and and, you know,I was milking it and I was doing
it and I was getting millions offollowers.
And then it died. And I'm like, wait a second, I
didn't die. You're like super big right now.
And you're like, yeah, no, I wasable to recover.
I did the color me Monday. I did the whole like new series.
I was more creative. I did this and that and nobody's
able to do that. Like that's not easy.
It's impressive. So that intrigued me because I

(41:14):
like, you know, that could happen to me, that that will
happen to me. That will happen to everybody if
you. Ever need help?
So hit me up. Yeah, I'll, I'll strategize.
Intriguing. I want you to do my makeup
someday. Oh.
I'm so down. I don't think that answers the
question, but I'm so intrigued by how you're yeah, how you've
taught yourself to do your makeup so well.
I've been practicing. Oh, I can.
Yes, you, you are so good at makeup.

(41:35):
What are you talking about? How beautiful you look.
I was gonna say it looks gorgeous right now.
Smooth, smooth. That's how it's done, baby.
No, I'm not even joking. That was good.
That's. Cool, Yeah, I, I think it's
really because you said you're self-taught, right?
Yeah, like you started doing it after.
Well, I. Started when I, I got my first
makeup kit when I was 3. And then I started doing it for

(41:56):
dance when I was 7. And then I started wearing it
like every day when I was 11. And then like 2016 makeup era,
of course, was like very important to me.
And then I started focusing on like, I mean, when I started
TikTok, I started doing makeup. And then I did beat that boy
with a bat. And then it was all about my
chest for a while. And then I went back into
makeup. OK, Yeah.
Honestly, every single day with you is it's, it's like when

(42:20):
we're talking about content, I have 0 drafts.
I'm just a dog chasing cars. I have no idea what the hell I'm
doing. I don't even know how I made it
this far. We're doing a podcast together
with you incredible people. I'm with her.
What is my life? My life with you is intriguing
enough because every day is justa new adventure and like, I
don't know what we're going to do.
I don't know where we're going to go.
It's just so exciting. Like genuinely, the fact that

(42:40):
this is my life now and this is what I get to do.
I've said it before and I'll sayit again.
Like it'd be disrespectful to buy a lottery ticket.
Like it's just like what's not intriguing about it that's good
and like you just that. Was a good life.
Literally, she changes the flavor of her hair.
Like every six months I got a different girlfriend.
It's like it's just the coolest.You'll never be bored.
Never be bored. I've never been bored.
I'll never be bored. And I think that's my favorite

(43:02):
thing about you is like, just ever since I've been with you,
my life truly has become what I always envisioned it could be.
You know what I mean? Like, so it's just like, what's
intriguing is continuing that journey and seeing where it will
inevitably lead and how far we can take this shit.
So. Yeah.
That freaking lottery ticket. Line and lose this game.
Oh my God, lose this game. Maybe that's why we pull

(43:23):
baddies. I don't know.
I don't. We're just a couple of dorks
that pull baddies. That's how we do it.
I. Don't know, do I seem like more
of a creative or analytical type?
Explain. OK, I'm gonna go last so that
like. They can give.
OK, OK, like first, OK, more of a creative or an analytical
side. Yeah, first go, first go, first.
Let me think. Let me think.
Let me. Think my initial thought I was
going to say creative because obviously you make a beautiful

(43:45):
amazing like just the most detailed, gorgeous, beautiful
cakes I've ever seen in my entire life.
But that almost makes me want tosay analytical because I know
the baking takes like you got tobe right on top of everything
like you have to do everything very, very correctly and same
with decorating cakes like that is a very analytical outlet.
Like a lot of art is very analytical in a lot of ways.

(44:06):
And like also with your competitiveness, I don't know
that makes me feel like I want to learn more towards
analytical. Yeah, OK.
I also really don't know. I don't know.
So I would accept any answer. What I'm thinking is between the
two of you, I know I don't know if this is against the rules, I
don't know the game works, but Ifeel like hanging out with you 2
and we've been talking for the last few months and I've heard

(44:28):
your guys perspectives on a lot of stuff.
I feel like you guys perfectly balance each other out.
People talk about like that 8020or that 5050 or that 6040.
There's times where you're talking about like strategies
and analytics and all these things behind the scenes and
then you're talking about creative stuff and then it flip
flops back and forth. And like I love how the both of
you as a unit, as a team have that perfect balance.

(44:49):
And I think you learn more on the creative side for.
Sure. This.
Look, I this is what I think. And I think this is going to
surprise you. OK.
The reason why the answer is actually analytical is because
you're at your best when you're organized.
So like, yeah, you might. On the surface, it seems like
she is one of the most creative people I know.
And like for her cakes, a lot ofher clients are like, just do

(45:10):
something. And she's like, Oh my God, I
hate that. And then put together a
masterpiece. The reason the answer is
analytical is because when you're at your most productive,
it's because you wrote out your checklist for the day.
You have your To Do List. You have every single you, you
drew out exactly your cake before you did it and you know
exactly what you're doing almostdown to the minute.
And that's when you're at your most productive and you're like
happier and you're just more at peace with yourself.

(45:31):
That's true. So I think when you're
analytical it it gives you more success.
The card on top was do you thinkI intimidate others?
Why or why not? I have.
OK. I was going to talk to you about
this last night and then I was kind of waiting until today to
bring it. Up.
OK, I like that. Apparently one of your old
roommates was talking to a girl that I'm friends with.
Doesn't matter who I don't know,but one of your roommates was

(45:53):
talking to this girl. And it was when we became
mutuals online and because I waswith the whole world community
and everything, and I remember talking about you to her and I
was like, I finally got Michael.Like that was the last one in
the bunch that I needed to get. It's like, hey, my mutual and I
was. Infinity Stones or.
Whatever she told me that you were like that you were very
intimidating in person and not like you were online, but I just

(46:16):
I did have like a preconceived idea of my head in you that you
were very intimidating and like meeting you in person complete
opposite like couldn't be more different.
So that's. It's crazy.
I definitely don't want to give off intimidating vibes.
Like I feel like that's not me. I don't know what other people.
I mean, hey, if that person thought whatever, yeah, I I feel
like I'm more of like a just a like I'm intimidated.

(46:39):
I intimidating at all? I think you're intimidating and
way more intimidating than you give yourself credit for,
because a lot of people when they hear intimidating, they're
like, oh, big scary. And like to me, the more
knowledgeable and talented you are at something like there's a
level of intimidation there. You're so kind, you're so
genuine, you're so honest, you're so hardworking, you're so

(47:00):
talented that that's intimidating.
I'm not even exaggerating. Like that's a very intimidating
quality when you're I'm around you and we're hanging out and
talking. I'm like, you know what I mean?
Was like, OK, I gotta put on like my best behavior.
I gotta be good. I gotta be eloquent.
I gotta know my shit. I gotta like watch my language,
maybe even no. And I'm just saying.
Fair enough. I appreciate that.
That yeah, nice. I I'm bad to take.

(47:21):
I would it would be very intimidated to play golf with
you. Also like that is another.
Well, that's. The goal?
Go against you in like a word game of some sort like I'd be
intimidated for. Sure.
For sure, for sure. I would be intimidated because I
know actually you have potentialto make me crash out probably
harder than anybody on planet Earth.
Now I'm thinking about it. We're playing golf together and

(47:43):
I'm muffin it. You're just playing
nonchalantly, doing your thing or whatever, and you're giving
me little pointers and being so nice to me while destroying me
and putting on a master class, playing golf.
I'll be smiling to you like, oh,thanks, man, That's OK, Cool.
And when I get on that golf cart, I'm just like this fucking
asshole. I don't believe he's just whoop.
These 10 strokes ahead. I don't need tips, Michael.

(48:04):
Obviously I need to go to the driving range.
I don't know. But you're just Aaron.
You're just tell me all the stuff, like whatever.
And then I see you. Again, I'm like, in fairness, I
am not nearly good enough at golf to give people tips.
Well, I would love to. I am not.
I think like as a person, something that he gets so often
when we meet people in person is, Oh my God, you're the exact
same as you are online. Like he's just so nice and he's
so like happy and but I think hecan get like a little anxious.

(48:29):
So maybe people might not think he's as happy as he feels on the
inside. And then like, professional
wise, I would think that like, certain content creators are
intimidated a little bit becauseyou're really good at what you
do. Yeah.
Yeah. Like, I don't think you're mean
or anything, but I do think that, like, it like being good
at your job comes with a certainlevel of like, knowledge that if
other people don't hold that knowledge, they might feel a

(48:50):
little bit intimidated. But you're really good at, like,
sharing the knowledge, the wealth of knowledge, and you're
really good at including people.And just like he'll give anybody
advice if they ask for it, if they ask, he's never just like
shoves it on someone. So I think I don't think you're
intimidated. I think you're really kind of
knowledgeable something. That I really care about, not to
interrupt you. Something that I really care
about is like when I'm meeting somebody for the first time, I

(49:11):
like regardless of the 1st 5 second impression when I start
talking, like I really think it's important to make them feel
comfortable. Like just to make them feel like
it's a safe space. Like if you're in a group of 10
people and I start talking, I want to make it.
I want to like make sure the theair is lovable.
Yeah. Everybody feels included.
Yeah, so like. I think there's a difference
between the impression you get off the first, you know, glance

(49:35):
versus the impression you get off the first.
Yes, yeah, 'cause I'm. I'm bad at, like faces.
I'm bad at, like, sitting there smiling.
So like, I'm sure people are like, what the heck is that guy
looking at? And they're intimidated by that
and. Then yeah.
Maybe I'm yeah, maybe, yeah 'cause I just don't know how to
smile. So yeah, I have a resting, I
don't know, face, but it's. Not but like if, if, if Mr.
Rogers or like Bob Ross came in here, you know what I mean?

(49:57):
Like kind souls. It'd be like somewhat of a level
of intimidating if you're. Intimidating.
You guys do not give yourself nearly enough.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
