Speaker 1 (00:01):
Get your hands together, and we're going to start to
party and start the parts.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm reading a party.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
The Elvis DA Ran After Party.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It is the After Party Podcast. Hi y'all, how y'all doing?
I got Scary here, And there's Danielle and Straight and
Nate and of course Gandhi and Scotty B and Garrett.
We're all here just to do something. I'm not quite
sure what's going to happen, but I won't tell you
something that goes on here in the studio. People always
want to know what's happening backstage. Scary has a lot
of stuff. Technically he has to be on top of
(00:36):
He has all these computers he has to mouse and
mice or whatever rolling around and pushing buttons and playing
songs and stuff. So he has to think through what
he's about to do. Yeah, he's supposed to be. He
says it all out loud. He speaks to himself right
in front of all of us, and he doesn't even
know he does it, do you, Scary?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
I you know, sometimes I have a conversation with myself
and they'reasically backstage directions exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
As a matter of fact, a second ago, we heard
Scary go okay, what are we gonna do here? Oh?
I know, let me play this right here? Okay done? Okay,
Well now I shouldn't do that. Sorry, I can't do that,
he apologized to himself conversation in the middle of a
conversation with himself. It's the strangest, honest thing.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Realize this until Gandhi did a story one day that
what percentage of people don't have any internal dialogue with themselves.
Let me look like we're thinking about stuff right now,
and you're kind of talking to your stuff. That Scary
doesn't have that, So in order to do that, he
must speak out loud in order to have internal thoughts.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
We can't get you into trouble, Scary. If you're saying, Wow,
look at her, she's nasty looking. Would you say that
out loud?
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Would you say that?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
I stop myself before because my mouth moves before my
brain kicks in and tells me that it's wrong to
say that.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
You got to train that thing. Yeah, it's about thirty percent,
which to me is a strikingly high number of people
to have no thoughts or inner dialogue, Like do you
really have no thoughts unless you're.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Speaking well, explain to me what goes on in your minds?
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Oh god, Well, like right now, what what give me
an example of an inner dialogue that you you might beg.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
With you, something simple that you could probably relate to.
You're driving down the street and then some some car
pulls in front of you and cuts you off. I'll
say in my mind, oh my god, what a jerk.
I mean, let me let me compensate and move over
to this other lane so I don't hit him. But
you would say that out loud, I would compensate by
moving into this other lane.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
You can say that I would. It's reacting, But that's
a reactionary example. I'm talking about an example of your
body is at rest, there's nothing happening. What kinds of
dialogue things are going on in your brain?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Milk.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I'm thinking about what I have to do later on
in a day, Like I'm like, oh, yeah, I really
pick that up, and I gotta I gotta return that.
I got an Amazon return I gotta do. Like I'm
thinking of those things, like what happens after, Like, yeah,
think of that.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
No, I don't plan that way.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
I mean the moment here, an interaction that you've had
with somebody during the day that maybe wasn't so great,
Like say you had a little argument with someone. You
don't think about that later, like oh, maybe they were
thinking this and I was thinking this, and I could
have reacted to.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Okay, those types of things.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yes, oh you do then doing the show, or like
right now, right now, I'm just talking out loud because
I know that technically things need to happen in this room.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
So when nothing else is happening, then you can actually
have thoughts. But when things are happening, you have to
externalize it.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Okay, for instance, you're sitting on your couch, it's it's
five point thirty. You have to be downstairs dressed by
six for the cars picking you up. Whatever do you
say to yourself, Oh, I better get up and get dressed.
They're picking me up in thirty minutes to yourself. Do
you say that to yourself? I do. If not, he'd
never get up. He isn't there.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I've been on the phone with him and he's been
cooking and I'm like, oh, who you cooking for? He goes,
no one, I go, then who are you talking to?
He's giving himself direction in the kitchen.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Yeah, well, I have to crack this egg, and I
need I need a tablespoon of her out loud.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So you say it out loud as you're cooking like
a cookie.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Here's me.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I showed my place.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
So we were on the train yesterday coming back, and
you know, of course, you know, we had thirty minutes
of we're on our phones. You're scary narrating his own existence.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
He's like, oh, I got to get back to this person.
What does this person want? All right?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Let me see here?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And he's literally the entire ride. Wow, he's muttering the
entire Okay, well that's scary. Scary is a He's scary? Okay,
what about the rest of us? I talk out loud
in the shower in the mornings, typically every single time.
Alex ask me, yo, what who are you talking to?
And I'm talking to me?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Do you guys ever talk to yourself all in the
car or anywhere.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I talk to myself as if there are not other
people around, because I don't want people see me talking
to myself. But I talk to myself out loud constantly,
especially if I'm out home.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, if my mom, if I go to my mom's
house and I let myself in I will hear her
having a whole conversation and I'm like, MA, who are
you talking to doing a lot of times she says,
I'm talking to you father, and I'm like really. She's like, yeah,
I'm just telling him, le you know how my day was.
But then a lot of times I catch her like, oh,
why did I do this? Why did I put this here?
Why did I? Like, Ma, you know that this everything
(05:11):
you're thinking is coming out of your mouth, right She's like,
I know, but I don't. I live alone, So that's
why this happens.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay, okay, I.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Really only do it in moments of exasperation, like what
the F I can't believe you know? But for the
most part, no, nothing. I never talked to myself.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
I yell at myself a lot.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It always starts yell at yourself.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
I'll think about something I did. Not necessarily put yourself down. Well,
maybe a little, because a lot of it starts with
you silly bitch.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You say out loud, you silly bitch.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Oh constantly, yeah, you silly bitch. A lot sometimes it's
you dumb asshole? How did you do that? Why did
you do that? That is crazy?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You call yourself a silly bitch out loud. Yeah, something
like that. I'd be like, why did I do that?
I'm such a fucking moron, really, Oh my god, I
would never call myself a more on good.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I called myself an idiot. I use idiot.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You guys shouldn't dumb as. I want to tell you.
One time I was on I was leaving a voicemail
back in the day on my on the phone in
the car, and when I was done, I thought I
pushed and then and then, But I wasn't talking about them,
thank god. I was talking about someone who was pulling
in front of me. I'm like, ill, this light is
(06:27):
so fucking long. We're never going to get out of here.
Ah God, And I realized it had been recording the
whole time. Was Oh, did you delete it?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I called him and told him later. I said, did
you hear that? He said yeah, and I said, thank god,
I didn't say anything nasty about you.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Be careful on iPhones too, because I noticed most of
my friends think that I'm the one going to hang up,
but they don't, and then I just end up hearing
them talking right right after. Because you're so used to
all right, see you later. And then you just assume it.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Do you just assume they're going to push and so
it's going to hang you up, so you don't have
to like push the end. Oh please, My parents never
hang out. My dad would just keep talking to my
mom and I'm listening to him, like what are they doing?
It never hits end. How about when you get butt dials?
Do you sit here and listen ye voicemail, the whole voicemail.
The only thing is though, then they can go back
(07:17):
and see how long the call was and realized that
you were listening to it.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Okay, I want to see the doing anything they shouldn't.
I'm like, oh, where is that?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Perfect?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
They also it could have been a voicemail. Maybe they
left you like a two minute voice.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I mean, I got a butt dial. Four thirty people
people who butt dial and they don't know it, and
it goes to your voicemail and they as long as
they're making noise, it's going to continue to record.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Yeah. Can can we go back to scary having no
inner dialogue for one second?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Absolutely? List end with that?
Speaker 6 (07:44):
He okay, so we talk about what he does when
he goes home, and he will tell you he's the
first to say he goes home and he rots, And
he says he scrolls on his phone the entire day
because he doesn't have any conversations with himself or think
about anything, so he just sits on his phone the
whole day.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
It's fascinating and if I have something that I need
to get done, I'll do it. But you know, they say,
a body at rest stays at rest.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Are you talking about body emotion stays in motion? Are
you talking us? You're talking to himself? You know, when
you're with Scary. That's a good point, Nate. Sometimes you're
with someone and they're talking and you realize, oh my god,
they're on the phone. They have their earbutt right. But
with Scary, we don't know if he's talking to himself
or us.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
It took me eleven years to realize he's talking to himself.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Like what am I supposed to do about it?
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And he goes, oh no, I'm just I'm over here,
like what okay?
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Thinking out loud, and Sharon wrote a song about it.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
He did, I like that you brought science into it.
A body at what rest? Will say?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
A body emotion stays in motion? The law in their
share we all know it. So when I'm at rest,
I'm at rest.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And with that said, there you go. I have a
nice days. RAN after party
