They just wanna. They just wanna.
They just want, They just want, they just want just funny, they just want just they just wann.
They just fun up. Just was already calling hey, hey, hello, Hey, Oh my god.
I did not expect to get through.
Oh my gosh, first call of the pod. Welcome. Now I'm doing a very special episode. But right now you're part of the warm up. I'm having some coffee. You're the first call. Let's start revving our engines.
What kind of coffee?
Well, my producer at the moment, Laura made it. I did full makeup and hair. I've been scared straight ever since my ro Sheen Connardy episode.
See I saw the videos of that and thought you looked gorgeous. And I'm not just sucking up.
Do you think a purple eyebrow is editorial, because you know I have an obsession with editorial makeup. First of all, I do not accept that you actually think that. I think I do think you're sucking up because I look like I look like a bald eagle. And I don't even mean like a bald eagle animal that you know that exists. I mean like a fictional animal that's like a bald old man with an eagle's beak, and I
watched those videos. I was scared straight. I was like, yes, mister patriarchy, I will do full makeup forever more.
I'm sure the makeup looks great too, But I swear to you I'm not just talking. I was like, oh my god, Elsey is beautiful.
No, you're crazy. You're actually mentally ill. Oh, I can't say that probably anymore. People don't like that.
It's also true, I don't think it's gone.
We can't say mentally ill anymore. Right, what do you say on the spectrum?
The more sensitive way to say it is a person with mental illness or someone who experiences mental health problems. This utilizes person first language. This is from a quick Google search.
Oh god, this is I think might be worse.
Yeah, I'm digging an absolute grave. I'm tunneling down like the Foxes and Fantastic Man Staring Friends just rewatched. Anyway, The lights have never been brighter in here. My face has never been more beat. This is no Actually, wait till you see these clips from the episode that's about to come out with Blake Andrew in full face, And guess what, I'm incredible. It's like it actually makeup is actually fucking amazing, Like it really does make you look incredible.
You know, when we were making my movie first time female Director out on Roku, now, Benito Skinner would always steal my Tacha illuminating face mist He'd like literally come where I was getting my makeup done and put his face in my airspace and my makeup artist would miss him, and I'm like, can you fucking get out of here? Yeah, he was just like, of course used to you know, he's used to being in Dubai doing designer events. That
seems like what he does every weekend. So for him to be on an indie movie like begging for Tacha, what a what a disgrace. Anyway, when when we wrap, he gave me like this little what is it? It's like a fleece, a zip up fleece that I wanted. He gave it to me with Tacha in each pocket.
That's very sweet.
At all, this whole story was made up. None of it happened great anyway, what about you?
Well, I am pretending to work right now.
That's what seems to be a theme when people call in.
Well yeah, well I'm on the East coast, so.
Yeah, list in work sucks when people call from work. I'm like, of course, but it's like, you know, when AI takes over and there's really no jobs except manual labor, we'll be thinking of these as the gravy days.
Absolutely.
You know, it's like every job will just be a robot and you'll be like, Okay, I can either work digging ditches or I am I guess I don't know how it's all going to pan out.
Anyway.
I wanted to say, I was watching You're not gonna believe me. I was watching the Home Shopping Network and saw you on Curtistone's shop.
Oh now, how what did you think?
I thought it was fantastic.
I loved that show. Curtis Stone, what a charming man. Also the most in depth interview I've ever done. Like his team, his producing team is stellar. Also, he sent me a pie, the salted Caramel Apple. I can't remember now if it was for my birthday or the movie, but I'm like, what a class act across the board. Yeah, yeah, he.
Think was great. That piloked good too. I mean, I know there was some some conversation about the crumb top and what you might prefer otherwise but it still looked delicious.
Of course, it looked delicious. Nost okay, fair it up for that salted caramel apple that he makes. I think it is absolutely divine. The tart cherry I'm chasing the what do you call it chasing a dragon? I don't know, but I cannot locate the tart cherry pie. Of a couple places that used to have it in my life that I loved, one being bright Spot, I'm pretty sure they had it, and the other was this cafe in Brooklyn, which I can't even remember the name of when I
lived in Parkslope. All I remember is like it was random that they had pie. It wasn't a pie shop. I don't even think the place exists anymore. But they had incredible tart cherry pie. And getting that tart sweet combo with black coffee or with that bitterness of the coffee is so good, and that is what I hunt for. Now he put almond in, I go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa? What are we doing?
Kurt?
Calling him Kurt? Kurt? What are we doing? Mister Stone?
Okay, I wonder if anyone does call him Kurt? Does it doesn't feel right for some reason.
Yeah, it feels very transgressive, right, like Kurt stop it with the almond extract, You're you're enough, You're enough. And also he also put two kinds of cherries. I'm like, just do the tart ones. I want full tart. But I was trying, you know, I was trying to be relatively meek and mild and just go with them. Yeah.
Yeah, there was a good interplay. I could tell you know, I could tell you had opinions, but I didn't think you were being good. And what do you want to say, I'm generous?
Yeah I was. I was trying to be. Well, listen, I wasn't even trying to be I was appreciative. I mean, it is crazy when you have Curtis Stone trying to make you a pie. You gotta appreciate pie. Yeah, you gotta appreciate that. That is That's quite a day in h Town. That's what I call Hollywood, but it's actually what people call Houston. So anyhow, today I'm gonna do a very special episode and this call here is a complete departure from where we're headed. So we're gonna do
a visualization. Yeah, we're gonna do.
I'm glad that I didn't call a second later because I have that thing called a fantasia where you simply cannot visualize.
No, you do not know, you don't.
Yeah, what is going on.
In this world? What is going on? This is wild? I am truly I need to get who's a doctor that I can get back? Can I talk to doctor Langer? Can I get Can I get doctor Langer back to discuss this? I mean ask him? He probably hates me. Like the podcast Listen, he was on the early episodes where I was like, I'm gonna interview people every week, and then it was like zoom, it's hard. And then I'm like, I don't want to like be my normal ill you know, I want to say sassy, but I
hate the word sassy. I can't be my normal self because I've asked someone to come on my show, and it's like I don't want to humiliate them, but I feel like I can't be jokey because they're serious. So I don't know.
But anyway, yeah, I'm sure it's hard to get the vibe right.
Yeah, exactly. But I do love doctor Langer, yeah, and I would love him to weigh in on this because the fact that so many people have. This is astounding to me, Like, you know, I really think that I'm a visual learner and I can't understand. How do you like when I read something, if a part of it stands out in my mind, I remember the part of the page that I read it on, Like, I'll literally be like it was on the upper left page of the book. If I'm looking for a quote or something.
I feel like sometimes that might be.
The case for me.
Then you don't have it more like I have to.
It's more like I have to look at the page and then I'll be like, oh, yeah, it's like I've read this part. It's like I have to situate myself first, you know.
But like, okay, here's a question. Can you when you think of your parents or whoever raised you can't presume it was a mom and dad. Could have been anyone, could have been your grandma, so you could have been a ward of the state. These days, you cannot make any assumptions about anything.
Okay, in the state there was a mom and a dad.
Okay, can you imagine their faces right now?
No, I really can't.
That's insane. That would break my heart as them. That's crazy.
Yeah, it's more like I remember like specific traits, Like you know, they always say, imagine an apple, and that's like the classic example, and I can think of like traits that like I can think of a color and know that something is that color, but I'm not seeing it. If that makes since it's all like in words in my head, Yeah.
It doesn't make sense. I mean, it's just super weird. And the whole apple thing is so weird. Like I mean, I guess it's weird because if I go, if I'm imagining an apple, it's like, yeah, it's not like a photo, but I can, you know, essentially see an apple in my mind's eye. Anyway, whatever, We've already covered this, this disease, what is it? It's not a disease, it's like a condition or something. It's at this point it's pedestrian on this podcast.
Yeah, well it seems big. How many people say they have Yeah.
Every other caller can't envision anything.
Yeah, you're in trouble.
Like when you create a vision board, is it like literally so you can see you all Right, I'm going to start my guided meditation visualization for half the callers, You're not going to know what the hell is going on. Because you can't visualize anything. Yeah, all right, bye, all right. You're in the forest and there's a warm breeze blowing through your hair as the bird song fills your ears with joy and peacefulness. Frogs and insects fill a nearby
creek bed. Whoa, you're making a fire to make the morning's coffee. Oh, breathing in the fresh mountain air. Oh yeah, last night was a little crazy. Wolves surrounded the camp site, filling your heart with a wretched fear. Your little pup was no match for those woes who got agitated in the tent. But this morning all is peaceful. You're making your little fire by the side of a creek, getting ready to fry up some eggs and drink some hot black coffee.
Yay, Wow, what a beautiful morning.
Totally I'm feeling good. Coffee cranking, getting ready to have that coffee, and just taking the sunshine and be one with the earth, and remember that you are the earth and the earth is you. You're not a separate thing. God.
I've been reading a lot of Alan Watts.
You're right, who's Alan Watts? Now?
Alan?
Watch he he was like a philosopher and astro whatever you know, Alana.
Usually usually astrophysicists.
Right, I think, But I'm not that smart.
Unless it's like astro turf supplier.
Maybe.
Also, I just finished The Doors of Perception by Hustley. That's a little drugy though, but it's the same kind of thing.
Are these you seem to love? Men?
Men?
I'm a Luscian.
Why don't you read a couple of ladies books once in a while?
Good idea?
Yes, it's.
Yeah, okay, yeah, okay.
Yeah, okay, you know, yeah, okay, yeah, okay.
How about Harookie the comics? Isn't that?
Is that a woman?
No? Okay, that's just what came to mind.
I don't know.
The only other thing I was thinking about was Belle Hooks. But then I was like, that's really not fiction, and you know, it's sometimes a tough read.
I've read a couple of bell Hooks books.
Oh, I'm sure you have.
I'm a librarian, though. I'm feeling really good about knowing these things.
Oh so you know the good books.
Well, no, that doesn't mean you're well read. I have a film like I have a film degree.
O la la.
Oh.
I feel I know you did a meditation, but I feel really amped up, are you?
Oh? Yeah, pretty yeah. Oh, the kettle's boiling. The coffee is going to be ready soon.
Like coffee, it's a pour over.
Mt me take it off.
I have a question.
Yeah, what's a good person? What?
What makes a good movie?
Sorry? Just moving around some pots and pants on the fire?
Give me.
What makes a good person? H what makes a good librarian or what makes a good person? Those are two different.
Oh, I got fired.
I'm not a good librarian.
But what makes a good person?
What'd you get fired for? Talking loud?
No?
Not putting books back?
No, I'm good at that.
I'm young.
I can bet a lot of them, can't.
I will say, so, what were you fired for?
Nothing? Anyway? What makes a good person?
This is very I think you're burying delete No, I want to know why you got fired. I feel like there must have been a reason. Was it budget cuts?
No?
Look, no, I was it wasn't.
Everybody was mad?
Why just I was? I?
Okay, honestly, fuck them? I was sick and they didn't believe me and they were mean.
Wow. Anyway, glad I dug into that one. What makes a good person? Hmm?
Well?
Probably? Well? I think one thing is someone who wants to be a good person.
That's that's good.
I like that.
Do they think about it a lot or no?
I mean I think if you're striving to be a good person, it's a daily practice.
Now that kind of makes sense. What if you're obsessed with it, though, that might just be like disordered.
Do you mean good person like appearances or do you mean a good person acts.
I guess that's the question in general of like are you good because you act good to others? Or do you seem good?
Well? I think it's the whole question of lots of people in show business whose reputation is that they're so nice, but then you find out they'll lead assholes. You know, if you're if your whole obsession is for everyone to say how nice you are, you might not be that nice. You might be kind of kicking dirt over a pile of ship like a mongrel. Yeah, if you're genuinely nice, there might be texture. My thing is there's texture to humanity. No one is one thing. Goodbye?
Hello?
Yes, so Chelsea?
Yeah are you.
I'm over at my cousin's farm. I'm taking care of her hands.
Yeah that's nice.
Okay, what'd you say?
Yes?
Sounds like a monkey.
Well, you've clearly never lived on a farm.
You gotta there, gotcha?
Ship, here comes trouble.
Mm hmm.
Right, m cow's giving birth.
Cool. You see a lot of that in Minnesota.
Mm hmm. Get out of here, Get out of here? Yeah, where's that baby? Goat?
There?
He is a ham, a cut ham of acute. I know, have you ever worked on a farm?
I have not worked at a farm. Now I'm gonna study boy. Yea, he had a chase show up? Yeah yeah, no, it's not na guard the goats, guard the cows.
Oh, ship here? You walk to this other? Can I see any walls from over here? Mm hm, I don't see them. I think that livestock are safe for now.
Oh, how's your day going.
Going? It's going really good.
Yeah, I'm shocked that I'm talking with you. I find like an answering machine earlier and it tricked me. Sorry, Oh say, why'd you day go into the while?
Well?
I just love tending to livestock. It gives me a whole new sense of reality.
Uh huh, connecting with nature kind of.
Mm hmmm mm hmmm.
H you got back from taking the dog for my walk. That's my connection of nature.
That's awesome. Oh, there's a meeting in the ladies' room. Be back will soon. Hey, I'm out in the country attending to my cousin's hen house.
Those don't sound like hen.
Or me to do.
Have you ever taken care of hence?
No, but my mother in law and father in law have some hens.
All right, hold on, let me get out of here.
Are you in the henhouse?
What's up? I'm walking out. Oh boy, it's a nice morning out in the country. Oh yeah, it feels great to get away from it all. You know, Yes, I do.
Yep, I'm I waited at home right now?
Why just because I feel like.
It don't really feel like being social. I guess yeah, But I do have a food quiz for you. I guess, Okay, what do you think about t taron m.
It's a good question now, I think overall I'm not that into them, because like I'm not into wagu that much. Like it's just very fatty and she Tarna is literally fat, right. I mean I would eat it, but it's just not gonna be my favorite thing out there. Now, I have a question for you. Is there ways of eating ches that is not just plain as there are other things
people are doing. I feel like on Instagram I saw someone like treating it like a taco shell almost and putting like guacamole in it and stuff.
H yeah, I haven't tried that before that this one really good. But I do put like a just like sauce called chum oi on it. It's like sweet have red forty, you know all that good stuff.
This sounds good. I mean, listen, I'll eat it. You know, my my B twelve is a little low, so I'm like, okay, B twelve is in oysters and clams are really high and B twelve. I just think it is fascinating how this is going to be so stupid. But how foods do have different nutrients in them. It's like everything is how it's meant to be. We're supposed to be eating these foods to get the things that we need for our body. How crazy is that?
Right?
Perfectly designed system. Anyhow, I had some liver pati I guess last night. Do you like that?
I don't think I've ever had liver wow.
Well, I think I first tried it in Tuscany and my friends were eating it, and I thought, again, this is kind of like my first time eating oysters. I thought it looked disgusting, but I was like, they're relishing it, so let me see if I could try it. And then it was so good. It's like creamy. I think bad liver would be like very metallic tasting, and yeah, it would taste like yeah, But when it's good, it's
just like this creamy thing. And then a lot of times it's on toast and then you put something tangy like pickled onion or something sweet like a jam with it. It's so good. I can't eat it all the time because you know, I think it's not ideal for chlasterol. However, I do think it also has a lot of nutrients.
Yeah, I feel like it would have a lot. But yeah, I don't really know much about liver.
Fava beans reference, Okay, what is in liver? The main nutrient? Oh, my god, be twelve and iron. Oh, two things that I'm low on. So I've started putting a little molasses in my coffee every day to kind of up my iron a little bit. And I do love liver. Interesting, right, that is interesting.
It's like your body just naturally craves that B.
Twelve Maybe so maybe anyway, I'm kind of hungry speaking of food tests. Anyway, listen, I'm gonna go ahead and release you from your contract. Okay, okay, all right. So oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
Hello hello Chelsea.
How are you?
Oh?
I'm great?
Are you talking about relaxing things?
I saw your Yeah? Do you want to go on a guided visualization?
Oh?
I would love to.
Okay, let's go to the jungle. You're walking through a lush jungle. The animals chatter as if greeting you. They mean you no harm. You feel your feet in the wet, fertile earth as you walk through the jungle. All of a sudden, you come upon the biggest tree you've ever seen in your life. You're standing at the roots, rooted in harmony with the earth. You look up and you see the trees teeming with life as it has been
for hundreds of years. You realize that you, yourself, and your individual life is just part of a continuum of the entire earth, in all time and the entire universe. You're just one small piece.
Of the puzzle that is profound.
Thank you.
Which rainforests are we in? Are weeah?
Hello?
Hi?
Hello?
How do you feel about cob salad.
Silence is the peris true.
I don't really like a salad that is basically sandwich ingredients. Like I think people need to get more honest with themselves about, Hey, I hate salad. You know. It's like, if you're ordering a cob salad, you're basically like, I'm not a salad guy. You know what I really want right now is a sandwich. And same with that Chinese chicken salad. People get like they're like, oh, you gotta
try this Chinese chicken salad. It's like eating handfuls of sugar with fried like batter and yeah, and chicken and there's ice, like three pieces of iceberg lettuce in it. And it's like, honey, this is not a salad.
Yeah, you're basically just eating the dressing and the little bits at the end.
Yeah, it's like you're putting dressing on meat and cheese and calling it a day, which you know is fine. You know what I used to like in that vague genre. There used to be a salad at Fred sixty two that they don't do anymore. So they've changed their menu like eighty five times since I've lived in Los Angeles, but they used to do sort of a Waldorf type salad with like chicken, walnut and grapes, and it was delicious and it maybe it had blue cheese and that calm sounds.
Like a salad I used to eat all the time at this restaurant I worked at, and it had like a arugula and I think it was blue cheese too, and grapes and then like sautaid red onions.
Here's my secret. I don't know how I feel about arugula, you know. I think that it was something that my mom loved, and I in some way I think of it as nineties. I feel like it came about as a as a new green in the nineties and everyone started doing it. But I have to say, I'm not crazy about the chewing experience of a regular. It's very refugee tasting, and it's flavor varies so greatly depending I think when it's harvested or something from really peppery to
not as peppery. And I don't know. It's funny though, because a lot of people in my family hate kale and I love cal I.
Was just gonna say kale. My friend once describe it as the steak of green I love that, love that. Yeah, it's like the chewiness or like you just really have to chew at it.
Yeah, but you know there's two there's two things you can do for that. One is massage it, as we all know that can kind of soften the kale down, or also steam it and then put a vinagrette on it. I love kale. I love kale chips, I love steamed kale, and I love uh. There's a restaurant in La that does a kale salad that's extremely garlic ly garlicy with an extremely kind of lemon zesty flavor that is incredible, and I've tried to duplicate it, which I can't quite
duplicate it. I've really tried. I don't know what they're doing that I'm missing, but I can't get the citrus to come through as hard as they are.
Okay, okay, good.
Yeah.
I wish I had a list of foods to do the test or whatever, but that would.
Have been smart.
I can't think of.
This podcast. This podcasts tie.
Listen, the side.
Listen, side.
Listen, and nothing.
This is actually an incredible song that Kojak made. I love it. I mean it's it's like I couldn't hear all out of the lyrics. H I hate that, hate that about my podcast, but I do love I do love this song. It's like I didn't really know about every cast, about every podcast clip that I see online.
In fact, this podcast.
Time, yeah, every every podcast.
Side listen, side.
Listen and nothing.
So I had a weird comments section on my last post of clips in which someone was like mad because I was saying I don't like it when people post themselves exercising, and they're like, well, you're posting yourself podcasting. I'm like, honey, I'm not defending this. I fucking hate podcasts. I hate the clips. I hate the hot takes, like me saying that I don't like exercise videos. It has got you hot under the collar. It's like, honestly, who cares what I say. I'm not the mayor of social media.
Please feel free to post yourself working out you fucking anyway. She unfollowed me because I wrote back, wow mind exploding emoji like fucking break it down, sis, Like, I just fucking hate when people get so upset about what someone stupid online says. It's also just like, if you are following me on Instagram. You know, I'm gonna say dumb shit and have stupid opinions. Who cares. You don't have
to abide by them. You can continue to post your stupid fucking exercise videos and pat yourself on the back heartily. And I'll do that for my comedy exactly.
Seriously, this actually relates to something that happened a few years ago. I think it was like Peak twenty twenty, and you went on Instagram Live and you were like, how is everybody doing? You know, and I just typed not good yeah in the comments, and you went off on really good. It was amazing, it really like it kind of made my day.
Really, what was I saying? Honestly, twenty twenty not my best year?
I mean same here obviously, but like I think it was even maybe like twenty one or twenty two at that point.
That whole span, that whole span was still recovering from it.
Yeah, yeah, pretty much, pretty much.
Yeah.
So are you talking about mindfulness today?
This podcast listen?
I love the soulful clappic and that.
This poodcasts tie.
Listen, the side.
Listen, side.
Listen and nothing.
I want you to do it like you know that podcast song exploder. No, oh, well, it's like a podcast that kind of breaks down different song. I was just listening to the one that they did on Lowrider by War. But anyway, I want you to do that with.
Cool Kojak Oh, okay, thanks, I'll do it.
Yeah.
Kojak is a rolling Stone. I thought he was in Bold All. Then my friend's like, I think he's in l A. I'm like, where is this man? Oh, deletest podcast? Let's see what else we got?
What?
What's your what's your what's what's your?
What's your?
What's your been? What's your been?
What you been snacking on?
What you've been snacking on?
What you've been snagging? You've been snagging on?
You've been snacking on?
That you've been snacking on? Did you be snagging on Devincelucking.
Be snaking snacking off?
Timoton?
Then which you've been snacking?
Snacking? Snacking off Timoton?
Then which you've been snack you be snagging? What should it snack all?
What you been snagging? What would it snacking? What you do.
The devins looking on?
I like that this song is like it's like when my mom asked me a question, but then just keeps talking It's like this song itself asks a question but never gives you a spot for an answer. What have you been snacking on?
So I'm trying to lose late, but I also have a sweet case, so I've kind of started in building in nice cream m Have you ever made that? No?
But you know, I was doing that stupid app for a while where you can like get red foods and green foods and yellow foods, and then I couldn't figure out my password and so I just had to give
up on diet culture. But one of my discoveries, and that was a Asso bars one hundred calories made with Greek yogurt mint chip flavor is great and the salted caramel that said as a fellow's sweet tooth person, And I truly have trouble trusting people who don't have a sweet tooth, but I do close friends who prefer salty to sweet.
Uh huh.
But anyway, I do think that dark chocolate and nuts is a good sweet tooth thing. And berries.
Berries dates. I don't know, are you into dates?
Yeah?
Dates are good, really, especially the really good ones that are really soft, really really soft, like almost like pudding. And I do really like sliced banana with Greek yogurt, and I really like like apple, Like putting fruits with Greek yogurt is very good.
Yeah.
I feel like kind of just replacing like process sugar stuff with fruit has been working out pretty well.
But also I totally you.
Thinking that you also have a sweetcheete just reminded me. I kind of got so excited. The last couple of weeks you's been bringing up four and twenty Blackbirds. I used to work there.
WHOA give me, give me all the deats. First of all, that name is so hard to remember. I know four and twenty Blackbirds. Yes, that is so hard.
Yeah.
I was on the pastry team, so I didn't really like get to do that much with the pie. Like the pie people would be coming in by the time we were like leaving. But you know, once Thanksgiving hit, it was definitely like thousands of eggs.
Yeah.
It's a cool place.
I don't know, but what was your So you're making pastries? What pastries do they sell there?
We would do like a buckwheat flower cake, go like different kinds of I like buckwheat, Yeah.
I like buckweed flowers. It's nutty.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, very nutty, very like fluffy, beautiful?
And then wait, so is it so hard being a patisser? What do you call it? Patiser?
Oh? I don't know. I just always tell people that I was on the pastry team because I didn't go to school or anything. I feel like I can't claim.
Okay, but to have that skill set and then be trying to diet must be torture.
Well, because I.
Did it for so many years. Like now, whenever I make a pie, I'm like, how the fuck did I used to make like, you know, a hundred day and we get in a rhythm. Yeah yeah, So I'm like, I don't really miss that life at all, Like, what do you do now a couple? Now I'm a caregiver?
Actually, same same genre? Really, giving pie is giving care? Wow? Well this is interesting and was it? Is it interesting? I don't know.
I don't know if it's interesting to you at least so.
So so so so soup, so exploring, pack.
So so soup, so so soup, pizzazza.
Che chelsy.
All right, Well, I don't know.
I was giving kind of kotel.
Oh, I'm hungry. I think this is part of the problem. I think did I eat breakfast kind of. I had no have you ever had this? It's like a Chinese bakery that I went to and they have these like sponge cake things with the little slippered almonds on top, and they're meat in the little paper and they're super puffy, almost like angel food.
Take yes, uh yeah, I freaking love those things. They have them at Like whenever I go visit my dad, we usually hit up a Chinese house and then I just like end up having like three of those.
They're so good. Yeah, so I had that in coffee. But let me tell you, I'm starving. I don't know why. Maybe I had a really big workout yesterday.
You got to get some protein. That's what I've been like hearing that you have to eat a lot of protein.
I know.
Here's my secret. I don't like protein that much. Like I don't like sitting around eating meat. Yeah, you know what else has protein? Nuts tofu beans, All those things are like the least sexy things on the eating agenda.
For me pretty much. I had to like a like looked it up and like took the screenshot and like have a picture saved of all the things that have high proteins, just because I'm like, I guess.
I got it.
There are some nuts on there?
Yeah, I do, like I have been having as a snack an apple and a handful of walnuts. Doesn't sound good, but if you've ever had heros it it's kind of in that family, and it's kind of a good snack. They go together well, the fattiness of the walnut and the tartness of the apple. It's kind of like a quick DIY version, so that I would recommend. And also walnuts are weirdly good for cholesterol, which counterintuitive because they taste very fatty.
All right, bye bye?
Hello, Hey Kelsey?
Hi there, Hey, what's going on?
Broken?
How are you right?
All right?
I'm great?
I have.
Is there a topic today?
I mean, there was trying to be like a guided visualization, but then half my callers can't see things in their head at all because they have this condition called like I don't know what it's called. I keep forgetting it sounds like a sphasia or a fantasia, so you know, I don't know. And then also like it's it was just ill conceived. So have I abandoned it? Midway?
Yeah?
Do I have therapy in five minutes yell, huh am, I still here.
Yeah, I have a fighter.
Well it could be classified as an animal attack, but it's technically a spider bite.
Will I be late to therapy? Yeah, okay, I can do it a under Okay, okay, let's hear your spider byke.
Okay.
So I live in a place where we have browner sloot spiders.
Yeah, and they're very tall.
They hide in the in the same training.
And so my girlfriend was in our shed cleaning it out, and we did not know that there was like a browner flues called me living in our sheds, and she was wearing jeans, and one of them called up her pantlets invites her like in the.
Back of the sigh.
No.
Yeah, And at first she just thought that she just like got bitten by a bug. Well, I mean, I guess she did, but she was just like whatever, it's no big deal, Like we get lots of bug bites.
I live in the South.
So she went to bed and overnight she like broke out and sweat and like had full body chills and like a fever and like very high blood pressure, and she was bitten by browner glues. Were like found them later in the shed and over the course of like three months, it ate like r the flesh of her leg to wards like the size of a quarter, but just like pretty much rotting flesh. I'm not I don't really know what you call it. She's a nurse.
She would be.
Upset, Like I think she might call it necrotic flesh.
That's exactly what it was, like, exactly like a little kit.
Crazy shout out to the medical community.
Nexotic. Yeah, but yeah, it takes three months for it to like not be an open wound anymore, and she uh like doctored it every single day and took really good care of it. But it was like starting to tunnel, which.
Kind of kind of like underneath kind of like fantastic mister Fox like the Foxes.
Exactly, so she like still has a bit in her leg where the spider bite.
Was like sure, sure, sure a divot, sure great, great, sure, sure sure sure sure here, sure sure sure.
You know spiders, you.
Know that's paranoia for sure?
Thank you, yeah, thank you. Okay, My question is this, hey, brown recluse spiders, you want to be a bit more reclusive. This one sounded like a bit of an e NTP, a little bit of a partier, someone who's you know, it's like, please live up to your name, be a recluse, go in fucking put newspapers on your windows. Please go.
Yeah, I think like our only theory. She was wearing pants and my shoes. It wasn't I feel like she was being as prepared as she could, but wasn't expecting.
You got a rubber band or cuffs.
Right, like you need some like real real protection. But we think it like climbed up her paint leg until the jeans that got tight and then it because usually like if you put your foot in your shoe and there's one it'll like bite you on the toe when it feels like it.
Listen, I don't want to tell you, but don't think every time I put my shoes on, I'm not blowing into them and stepping on the toes, because honey, I am. And when I was in Costa Rica, I'm gonna step on those toes from the top, gonna look inside the heel and see if anything is emerging. I'm gonna blow into a shoe and guess what if something blows back, I'm running out of the house.
Yeah at a bear. Yeah, I saw a spider. Web in one of my shoes yesterday and I and they thank you to just like it outside.
Have you all have you ever considered moving?
No?
But what about why don't you get someone to spray for the spiders in your shed?
Well, our seat is decrepit. It is it's like ancient and it leaks, so I think it's I think we're just going to tear it down.
Are you familiar with wiley coyote? Why don't you just blast that whole shed to smithereens with?
Yeah, they could use it. It's invested. Yeah, but yeah, I think best practice. Check the shoes get bitten. These spiders are so tiny, but I try not to leave a paranoid life.
They're tiny.
How tiny I mean, they're like there, I would say they're like a small to medium spider, but they're brown, and they're like they're not incredibly easy to see, like, they're very flat, they lay very flat in things.
You know what you should do? Go into that shed and just spray painted white every single thing in there, so at least you can see them with spray painted neon green inside, so every.
Spider like light pant.
But they they have like a fiddle on their back. That's how you're supposed to identify them, but not like trying to get close enough to one to be.
That's like a fiddle approximation, right yeah wow, so yeah. I mean the thing is, of course, I've read about brown recluses before, and the comfort with them is that they just aren't fatal, like black widows can be fatal, right.
I think so?
I heard I've heard a story of like a friend of a friend who got bitten on the head, like on the scalp, which like I don't really want to think about, but apparently like one dropped under her head and bit her scalp and it like affected her brain. She may have died, so I mean she may have. Yeah, it's like a friend of a friend. I feel like I heard this story like third hand, but who knows.
But I feel like if you get bitten in a certain spot, like the way that my girlfriend's spider bite like really went to town and started like getting deep, if there was something major under there, it would have been bad. But luckily it was like a muscily fleshy part of your body, so it just was like just hurt for three months.
Yeah, I guess will on that. I guess we'll end on that since I have therapy now. Yea, what a sash? What a sash? Thank you great up quote unquote great quote unquote app quote unquote Bye,
