How did the hosts start the episode and what’s the “There’s Only So Many Topics” premise?
If you could pick one feeling to never experience for the rest of your life, what would it be? Have I already asked this?
Well, I know what yours is. What? Nausea, but mine would be anxiety for sure.
We have done. This is something we've done because I was just thinking.
No, you just don't like being nauseous.
Would I rather never experience nausea or anxiety? I was just thinking that. But they're so closely linked.
Yeah, because you could get anxious about how nauseous you are.
And nauseous about how anxious you are. For sure.
I would never experience nausea. We've, I'm sorry, we've had this conversation. It's like there's only so many topics.
Well, I'll tell you one that's kind of like pretty closely linked to both of those.
What?
I picked up this new, I used to drink a lot of kombucha.
Yeah.
I don't know what, like I kind of just like, you know me, if people are like, this is good for you and this is like the new thing, I'm just going to start doing it. Retta.
Kombucha's been around.
Yeah.
I know kombucha is like old as dirt, but the like GT, GTS kombucha.
Oh, I didn't know about the GTS model.
Is it GTs? It's something. It's GTs, I think. I started getting this like in college because at my office that I worked at, they had it for free in the fridge. And I was drinking them pretty constantly. And I just saw them again. I was like, that sounds good to me. This specific flavor, Vital C, is genuinely a Four Loko.
Really?
Yeah. Have you had a Four Loko?
I was just about to say, you know, it's never even touched my lips.
Okay. I'm going to try to think of something. Think about if you mix- The chemical. If you mix together cologne with like a fruit punch Capri Sun. That is what a Four Loko tastes like.
That doesn't sound like horrible.
Cologne?
I don't know. I mean, that sounds better than like vodka to me.
Oh, Lord.
I remember the first time I was exposed to drinking was a Four Loko. Like we were at some kid's birthday party and there was a Four Loko hidden in the bathroom and everyone was like going and taking sips of it and then coming back out. And my friend, one of my best friends took a sip and I was like, I don't, I honestly don't think I can be friends with you anymore.
We, did I tell you about my, the Halloween that we did something similar?
By the river?
The Halloween, it was a lake, but yeah, you're almost there.
And you threw them in.
Yeah, but I was a bumblebee costume. There's only so many new topics. My friends were all, yeah, there's only, listen, if someone might have started listening today and you can listen to this story. I think we were 12 and my friends were older than me. So they were like a level of like, let's go out to my dad's fridge in the garage and we'll take some beer. And they put them in because I was a fat bumblebee for Halloween.
Yes, yes, I know this.
And it zipped from the back and they were like, we're going to put the beers into your fat bumblebee costume. And they did just that. And so I'm wobbling through the house, just fat as can be, full of beers. And then we opened one, and then we threw the rest into the lake. And then they started bobbing around like cauliflower, and they're floating towards the house that all of our parents are at the back yard of. Oh, that was nightmare fuel.
12 feels really, really young.
Why is Connor obsessed with kombucha and Beanie Babies stories?
I always say 12...
Like, I'm pretty sure I was still, like, talking to my stuffed animals.
That tracks for both of us.
Yeah. I mean, I still check in with my stuffies.
It is hard to shake that feeling that there is a living, breathing sentience in my Sealy.
Like, you can't tell me that there's nothing there.
You can't tell me that there's nothing there because the actual physical, almost debilitating guilt I felt for chewing off Celie's whiskers so I could fall asleep every night still makes me feel very, very full. Not because I ate the whiskers, but because I actually feel probably a little sick.
Nausea meets anxiety mode.
I chewed his nose off too. I chewed his nose clean off.
And swallowed it?
Straight off. Did you swallow it? Probably a decent amount of his nose.
