WEBVTT
00:00:00.179 --> 00:00:04.331
A good morning, good morning or good evening or good afternoon.
00:00:04.331 --> 00:00:08.611
This is a extremely special Starting Stand-Up episode.
00:00:08.611 --> 00:00:18.809
We've finally got another voice for you, my friend, my dear friend that I've known since birth, tegan Webster, canadian woman.
00:00:18.809 --> 00:00:25.033
There's so much to say about Tegan, but this was a little experimental interview.
00:00:25.033 --> 00:00:38.011
There's so much to say about Tegan, but this was a little experimental interview, and you'll understand why, and I hope you'll be as charmed and fall in love with Tegan, like so many people do when they meet her, and that's all I'll say.
00:00:38.011 --> 00:00:42.383
So please enjoy this very special episode of Starting Stand Up.
00:00:58.695 --> 00:01:01.917
Oh man, that's rubbish, that's rubbish.
00:01:01.917 --> 00:01:07.421
I'm here with Tegan Webster.
00:01:07.441 --> 00:01:10.108
I'm not supposed to use last names, so I'll say I just tag him.
00:01:10.108 --> 00:01:13.617
Or a teggy, wedgie, teggy, uh, this woman who's sitting across me.
00:01:13.617 --> 00:01:17.265
She's wearing a very, very comfortable looking white sweater.
00:01:17.265 --> 00:01:23.843
She's got a little brown bag with a super weird iphone case.
00:01:23.843 --> 00:01:26.329
What's going on with the ring on that thing?
00:01:26.329 --> 00:01:27.552
Is that a ring holder?
00:01:30.171 --> 00:01:30.673
It's very practical.
00:01:30.713 --> 00:01:37.144
When did that become a thing where women started wanting iPhone cases where you could put the finger through?
00:01:37.566 --> 00:01:42.489
I'll tell you for me I have had arthritis since I was 18.
00:01:42.489 --> 00:01:54.859
That's so early to have arthritis and problems need invention of, and problems in my hands, and as soon as I saw that there was something that could make me hold it in a way that wasn't my whole hand, I've had like every variation of those.
00:01:55.983 --> 00:01:57.468
So you've been doing this for a long time.
00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:59.105
As soon as they came on the market.
00:01:59.346 --> 00:02:02.271
Okay, now, just so you know who I'm talking to.
00:02:02.271 --> 00:02:12.188
I could never, in a few words, distill who Tagi Weji is to me, but let's get the story straight.
00:02:12.188 --> 00:02:14.826
You've been listening to the podcast.
00:02:15.268 --> 00:02:15.489
Yes.
00:02:15.699 --> 00:02:17.426
You're one of my oldest friends in the world.
00:02:17.426 --> 00:02:27.623
But, really you're my sister's extremely best friend, but certainly since moving to Maine, our friendship, wouldn't you say, has has deepened.
00:02:27.965 --> 00:02:33.020
I would say I would say yeah, and I've always loved taking my sister.
00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:56.673
One of them, my younger twin sister, was in a horrible car accident and has been in a wheelchair ever since, since 2000, and I can say unequivocally that Taggy Wedgie has been the most loyal, loving, kind, compassionate friend that you could ever dream for your sister or your child.
00:02:56.673 --> 00:03:05.908
And before we even go any further, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to cry on this podcast.
00:03:07.561 --> 00:03:09.247
We're taking a turn right now.
00:03:09.247 --> 00:03:10.645
It's changing now.
00:03:11.860 --> 00:03:20.051
But anyway, we were at a dinner party a couple weeks ago and another listener, another dear friend of mine, we'll just call him Train.
00:03:20.051 --> 00:03:30.367
You could tell that he was a fan of the show, but he knew he he just felt like it needed something and he actually this was his idea.
00:03:30.367 --> 00:03:53.211
He thought, much like uh howard stern, as robin quivers, that I could have taggy wedgie and I actually had an immediate reaction like, oh, that would be so fun, because tagging not only has an incredible, but she's also very quick to laugh and it's very weird doing this podcast because I'm Tegan, this is where I do it, you see that.
00:03:53.411 --> 00:03:54.073
That's where I go.
00:03:54.073 --> 00:03:55.935
I literally the whole thing, everything you've ever.
00:03:55.955 --> 00:03:56.599
That's where you usually sit.
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.038
That's where I sit, right at my computer.
00:03:58.038 --> 00:03:59.461
Oh, so this is a change of scenery.
00:03:59.540 --> 00:04:03.122
Yeah, yeah, just a little far back from my desk.
00:04:03.122 --> 00:04:09.705
But you know it's weird just sitting there and talking and it's so much more fun.
00:04:09.746 --> 00:04:14.568
Yes, I do think it made me realize that I'm an easy laugh that night.
00:04:14.568 --> 00:04:16.749
I was like wait a second Hang on.
00:04:16.749 --> 00:04:18.089
I do laugh.
00:04:18.149 --> 00:04:19.550
Hold on a second.
00:04:19.550 --> 00:04:21.672
You just have an incredible sense of humor.
00:04:21.971 --> 00:04:24.473
I was going to say I also have a really good sense of humor.
00:04:24.473 --> 00:04:25.233
She's got a pinpoint.
00:04:25.233 --> 00:04:25.973
Beautiful sense of humor.
00:04:26.033 --> 00:04:28.855
I was going to say I also have a really good sense of humor.
00:04:28.855 --> 00:04:30.375
She's got a pinpoint beautiful sense of humor.
00:04:30.375 --> 00:04:34.117
So I thought, anyway, so that's the back story of why we're here.
00:04:34.117 --> 00:04:48.884
And we're just experimenting and I think the real, the difficulty moving forward, to be perfectly honest, is how unhinged and last minute this podcast is.
00:04:48.884 --> 00:04:49.404
Yeah.
00:04:50.434 --> 00:04:52.408
I can sort of pick up on that vibe.
00:04:53.512 --> 00:04:59.367
I am sometimes at 8 pm on a Wednesday just like no idea what I'm going to do.
00:04:59.367 --> 00:05:06.242
And then and weirdly and I've talked about this there's the forcing function of delivering on Thursday morning.
00:05:06.242 --> 00:05:07.064
That deadline.
00:05:07.064 --> 00:05:15.088
The time constraint and the fact that all week I inevitably am thinking about things.
00:05:15.108 --> 00:05:18.038
A little bit, yeah, the brain is tickling all the time.
00:05:19.310 --> 00:05:31.798
And sometimes, you know, I would say if I were to advertise this podcast it would just be, in all caps, wildly uneven so I can see that.
00:05:31.798 --> 00:05:36.509
Yeah, I can see that very diplomatic, like our last episode.
00:05:36.548 --> 00:05:40.406
So actually I thought I heard the last, no, no that's perfect.
00:05:40.425 --> 00:05:44.836
You haven't listened right to the one that came out today no good good, so good.
00:05:44.836 --> 00:05:47.983
So what I thought we would do, because it's a five-minute episode.
00:05:48.124 --> 00:05:48.363
Okay.
00:05:48.829 --> 00:05:54.055
So I think it would be perfect opportunity where we're just going to listen to it Okay, you're going to listen to it all.
00:05:54.055 --> 00:06:00.091
You're going to not feel you have to perform or do anything, okay, and then we're going to talk about it.
00:06:00.091 --> 00:06:03.112
Okay, it'll be a launching point for our discussion.
00:06:03.112 --> 00:06:04.033
Does that sound like fun?
00:06:04.033 --> 00:06:04.795
Sounds perfect.
00:06:04.795 --> 00:06:05.595
Okay, here we go.
00:06:05.595 --> 00:06:08.276
Well, everybody, here we are again.
00:06:08.276 --> 00:06:17.004
Summer, that sweet melancholy that I've been talking about since summer began, is finally upon us.
00:06:17.004 --> 00:06:21.687
Some cold fall north winds are rustling through the leaves.
00:06:21.687 --> 00:06:28.375
If you look closely, a few of those leaves are starting to tinge and crisp up on the edges.
00:06:28.375 --> 00:06:32.021
Fall fast approaches.
00:06:32.021 --> 00:06:33.970
How is your summer?
00:06:33.970 --> 00:06:37.295
Great, glad to hear it.
00:06:37.295 --> 00:06:38.997
How's your liver?
00:06:38.997 --> 00:06:40.678
Yeah, me too.
00:06:40.678 --> 00:06:42.281
Me too Me too.
00:06:42.302 --> 00:06:46.406
That's a good start.
00:06:46.406 --> 00:06:47.408
You like it?
00:06:47.408 --> 00:06:50.855
Yes, all right, especially when it's all summer here.
00:06:50.855 --> 00:06:58.677
Everybody has to have a winter, and I feel like it's so, stuffy, do you like the opening?
00:06:58.677 --> 00:07:00.322
I do, I thought about that.
00:07:00.322 --> 00:07:01.386
Do you feel comfort?
00:07:02.149 --> 00:07:02.853
I'm like how did he?
00:07:02.874 --> 00:07:03.276
do this.
00:07:03.276 --> 00:07:07.184
That's good, that's rubbish's good.
00:07:07.204 --> 00:07:11.497
Well, as you can probably tell, I am suffering from psoriasis of the liver.
00:07:11.497 --> 00:07:13.000
That's undiagnosed.
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:25.738
I don't believe I actually do have psoriasis of the liver, but I will say that all my lack of sleep and this summer's activities have finally caught up with me and we're not doing well.
00:07:25.738 --> 00:07:36.079
Physically we are not well, and so because I need to take care of me, I'm taking care of me.
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:46.860
I'm going to just do a very short, simple episode where I talk about puberty for a brief moment.
00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:50.713
I believe there's a bit here and we're going to work it out.
00:07:50.713 --> 00:08:03.678
But, of course, because this is starting stand up and this is just a spitball area, I am going to just share a little bit of what I did and you can tell me if it made, made you laugh out loud, any of it, and then you can wish me.
00:08:03.678 --> 00:08:12.062
If it made, made you laugh out loud, any of it, and then you can wish me well, you can send healing, healing thoughts towards me, and then I'll be back better than ever.
00:08:12.062 --> 00:08:29.795
And this fall is going to be great, because we're going to put together the summer's content and we're going to shape it into just a world-class stand-up set that is going to stand-up set that is going to rocket, ship me to the top of the game, to the top of the heap.
00:08:29.795 --> 00:08:30.398
Watch out Chris Rock.
00:08:30.398 --> 00:08:37.440
Here I come, all right, wishing you healing if you are also suffering from psoriasis.
00:08:38.642 --> 00:08:40.043
I discovered some writing.
00:08:40.043 --> 00:08:40.485
I did.
00:08:40.485 --> 00:08:47.690
I'm really happy I discovered it because it's about puberty and I've always loved puberty.
00:08:47.690 --> 00:08:51.880
I love puberty.
00:08:51.880 --> 00:08:54.508
No, my kids are right on the edge.
00:08:54.508 --> 00:09:22.658
Things are happening and that's really when my memory came online and as I was thinking about puberty and what an absolute horror show it is for people's appearances and just it's almost like the great mutator I thought what would puberty be like if, like it was a drug dealer you know what I mean was personified in a dark alley?
00:09:24.761 --> 00:09:31.793
I'm not sure you would take the drugs right, because puberty is basically it's in the street corner and he's pushing.
00:09:31.793 --> 00:09:32.215
He's like.
00:09:32.215 --> 00:09:36.397
He's like hey, little boy, you want a little testosterone.
00:09:36.397 --> 00:09:37.894
You want a little growth hormone.
00:09:37.894 --> 00:09:38.773
Come on, baby.
00:09:38.773 --> 00:09:39.335
Come on over here.
00:09:39.335 --> 00:09:43.000
Shit's gonna make you huge dude.
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.676
Your dick's gonna grow, bro.
00:09:45.676 --> 00:09:47.462
You want your dick to grow.
00:09:47.462 --> 00:09:48.125
Come on over.
00:09:48.125 --> 00:09:49.975
You wanna get yoked.
00:09:49.975 --> 00:09:53.399
You want some bolder shoulders?
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:54.514
Come on over here, man.
00:09:54.514 --> 00:09:55.418
I got what you need.
00:09:55.418 --> 00:09:58.578
I got straight pituitary gland right here.
00:09:58.578 --> 00:10:00.998
You wanna start smelling like shit.
00:10:00.998 --> 00:10:03.361
You want your mom to no longer hug you because you got BO.
00:10:03.361 --> 00:10:03.433
Come on.
00:10:03.433 --> 00:10:04.615
You wanna get rock hard in the middle of the day, smelling like shit.
00:10:04.615 --> 00:10:05.402
You want your mom to no longer hug you because you got bo.
00:10:05.402 --> 00:10:08.879
Come on, you want to get rock hard in the middle of the day for no reason.
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:19.203
I got you, I got you and it's, and it's a huge risk, man, if you go into that dark alley and you say yes to puberty.
00:10:19.264 --> 00:10:25.724
I mean you're taking a huge gamble because most kids are so cute.
00:10:25.724 --> 00:10:33.317
You know, I can't, I'm not gonna name names, but like you know that person, when they were 11, 12, they were cute.
00:10:33.317 --> 00:10:36.403
It was like oh, wow.
00:10:36.403 --> 00:10:45.543
And then all of a sudden their nose just grows twice as big and just starts glistening with oil and little pus mountains.
00:10:45.543 --> 00:10:50.519
Come on, man, you want some pus mountains that'll explode and bleed when you touch them.
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.158
You want uncontrollable mood swings.
00:10:54.158 --> 00:10:55.969
You want hey, come on over here.
00:10:55.969 --> 00:10:59.299
You want to hate your parents and lash out at them for no reason.
00:10:59.299 --> 00:11:03.197
You want to start crying and not know why.
00:11:03.197 --> 00:11:07.491
I got you, I got you, I got you.
00:11:07.491 --> 00:11:12.477
I think the bit is that if puberty was optional, would you do it?
00:11:12.477 --> 00:11:14.980
Oh, little Jimmy's so cute.
00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:19.525
He's giving me one handsome boy Like pump the brakes on little Jimmy.
00:11:19.525 --> 00:11:30.418
Little Jimmy looks like a horse colt with some sort of skin rash.
00:11:30.418 --> 00:11:31.340
That's really funny.
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.303
It's so good you like that.
00:11:36.350 --> 00:11:37.414
That's like really good, I got to tell you.
00:11:37.830 --> 00:11:40.178
I'm also in the thick of puberty.
00:11:40.178 --> 00:11:44.173
Yeah, you are in the thick of puberty, but you have to understand something From my point of view.
00:11:44.354 --> 00:11:46.855
I record that I have no idea.
00:11:46.855 --> 00:11:48.379
If anyone finds it funny.
00:11:48.379 --> 00:11:51.139
So, for me to listen to it with you.
00:11:51.371 --> 00:11:52.248
No, that was really funny.
00:11:52.650 --> 00:11:55.259
Just to hear even slight chuckles was a delight.
00:11:55.278 --> 00:11:55.980
No, I was dying.
00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:57.750
That's really really, really good.
00:11:57.750 --> 00:12:20.581
It is a hilarious concept and I just because and I think it's a very relatable concept, because everyone's been through it or seeing their kids go through it- Now I, as I was listening to it this time, couldn't help but just want to ask you about your puberty.
00:12:20.581 --> 00:12:23.634
Well then, your sisters.
00:12:23.634 --> 00:12:41.120
I don't have detailed memories of any of the stuff, but amanda and hill forced me to shave my blonde peach fuzz, which made my mom so angry, because when you on your legs, on your legs and armpits oh and they were like.
00:12:41.160 --> 00:12:44.721
You know, you've got to do it since the time it was like what I have, like a few stories with them where they were like you've got to do it.
00:12:44.721 --> 00:12:45.001
It's the time.
00:12:45.001 --> 00:12:47.894
I have a few stories with them where they were like we're older than you.
00:12:47.894 --> 00:12:49.975
We're going to tell you what to do.
00:12:49.975 --> 00:12:52.035
We've got this covered.
00:12:52.269 --> 00:12:53.113
What is your birthday?
00:12:53.113 --> 00:12:57.028
If you don't mind me asking 1980.
00:12:57.028 --> 00:12:58.456
They're six months older.
00:12:58.750 --> 00:13:03.996
Yeah, but a school year older and in the summer, the age reflects a year older.
00:13:04.076 --> 00:13:04.697
It sure does.
00:13:04.697 --> 00:13:09.876
Okay, oh, so that's great.
00:13:09.876 --> 00:13:11.437
My sisters forced you to shave.
00:13:11.570 --> 00:13:12.150
And my mom.
00:13:12.150 --> 00:13:19.303
Her whole thing was like you never shave, because if you wax then you won't have dark hair growing back.
00:13:19.750 --> 00:13:21.668
Yeah, all the old wives tales and stuff.
00:13:21.809 --> 00:13:23.758
Well, it's kind of True, it's true.
00:13:23.758 --> 00:13:26.710
You're extremely hairy now is what you're saying.
00:13:26.710 --> 00:13:29.258
They ruined me at age 11.
00:13:29.258 --> 00:13:31.714
No, I don't know how old I was.
00:13:31.714 --> 00:13:33.998
You can blame them.
00:13:34.438 --> 00:13:34.960
That's funny.
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:36.403
Do you have a theory?
00:13:36.403 --> 00:13:39.078
So also let's reveal a little bit about you.
00:13:39.078 --> 00:13:40.556
What do you do for work Tag?
00:13:47.210 --> 00:13:52.264
I am a psychotherapist and social worker that works specifically with women who are victims of intimate partner violence Do a lot of them.
00:13:52.445 --> 00:13:53.408
Listen to Starting Stand-Up.
00:13:53.408 --> 00:13:55.711
I don't think so I don't think they do.
00:13:55.711 --> 00:14:16.592
No, I think, just as a side note, as I mentioned before Tegan's natural heart-open, compassionate letter on a path work-wise, that is very authentic and pure for what?
00:14:16.592 --> 00:14:18.875
We've always loved about her.
00:14:18.875 --> 00:14:30.187
But anyway, as a I guess, context for my question, what do you think is happening with this early puberty?
00:14:30.187 --> 00:14:31.090
Do you have any theories?
00:14:32.173 --> 00:14:32.273
Oh.
00:14:32.273 --> 00:14:41.639
Not that your job has anything to do with it, no, my job definitely doesn't, but I do think that it probably doesn't it definitely have a lot to do with the food Food.
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:41.879
Yeah.
00:14:42.360 --> 00:15:00.774
I would say environmental impacts are, and that includes diet and hormones that are in things and processed foods, and I don't know, like I can't get into the chemistry behind it, but I think that there's a lot of like evidence-based research about that.
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.985
One of the proudest things I am of my wife is that she was late menstruating.
00:15:04.985 --> 00:15:09.171
So I always consider she's, let's say she's.
00:15:09.171 --> 00:15:11.274
Let's say just for shits and giggles.
00:15:11.274 --> 00:15:12.274
She's 43.
00:15:12.274 --> 00:15:15.889
Yeah, she's actually 36, based on her menstruation.
00:15:18.841 --> 00:15:20.505
Wait, I feel like we're the same.
00:15:20.626 --> 00:15:21.549
She was like 15.
00:15:21.549 --> 00:15:25.789
I like to think she started menstruating when she was 19.
00:15:25.789 --> 00:15:30.725
She was 15, I think, but she was late, late.
00:15:30.846 --> 00:15:34.176
it's an inside joke that's not that funny, but anyway but I'm not a part of.
00:15:34.196 --> 00:15:35.299
No, yeah, yeah, no.
00:15:35.299 --> 00:15:37.908
It's something I whisper to her in intimate moments.
00:15:37.908 --> 00:15:43.528
It's not your business, and I'll thank you for staying out of it.
00:15:43.528 --> 00:15:48.644
Yeah, so it's just a, it's just a wild ride.
00:15:48.644 --> 00:15:51.907
And you know, look, my daughter's 13.
00:15:51.907 --> 00:15:54.403
She's now five, 10, and she's like early.
00:15:54.403 --> 00:16:04.087
Yeah, she's early, yeah, and I'm starting to like be like well, look, I mean I was told that I was going to be a minimum of six, seven, smoking an enormous amount of marijuana to try to.
00:16:04.087 --> 00:16:04.869
Is that true?
00:16:04.908 --> 00:16:08.855
No, I mean, I definitely when did you find out you're going to be 6'7"?
00:16:09.235 --> 00:16:09.655
13.
00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:11.303
That's what the doctor said.
00:16:11.985 --> 00:16:12.909
Oh yeah, you don't know that story.
00:16:13.280 --> 00:16:14.184
I think maybe I've heard it.
00:16:14.379 --> 00:16:17.346
Yeah, but it was one of the worst days of my life.
00:16:17.547 --> 00:16:18.067
Really.
00:16:18.369 --> 00:16:19.350
Oh yeah, I went in.
00:16:19.350 --> 00:16:20.552
He felt my balls.
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.369
Evidentlyly, whatever he saw with my nuts, he determined that I had many more years of it's like um.
00:16:32.528 --> 00:16:39.066
I'd grown like I think my mom had fucked up the doctor's appointment, so in hindsight I think it was her fault.
00:16:39.066 --> 00:16:48.719
But basically I was five, four at the last checkup and I went into the new checkup 6 feet Wow.
00:16:48.719 --> 00:16:52.330
So for those keeping score, that's an 8 inches in one year.
00:16:52.330 --> 00:16:58.229
And the doctor was like good God, you know, you could sort of see it in his eyes Like wow.
00:16:58.721 --> 00:17:01.008
Wow, I can't believe you remember that appointment too.
00:17:01.008 --> 00:17:01.369
What?
00:17:01.690 --> 00:17:02.171
do you mean?
00:17:02.171 --> 00:17:04.950
It's literally one of the most seared memories of my life.
00:17:04.950 --> 00:17:15.371
I know, but as someone who doesn't remember anything, it's really fascinating to me yeah, yeah, puberty is when my memory came online okay I'm so excited about it.
00:17:15.371 --> 00:17:22.522
But anyway, uh, yeah he, he looked at my nuts and he goes you grew eight inches in one year and maybe it had been a year and a half and he didn't realize.
00:17:22.522 --> 00:17:25.615
But he goes, uh well you've got a lot of.
00:17:25.695 --> 00:17:30.508
You've got a few more years of this kind of growth looks like we're looking at a minimum of 6 10.
00:17:30.508 --> 00:18:03.182
I mean 6, 7, most likely 6, 10, potentially 7 feet and I was a hockey player who is six feet, and all I wanted to do was, like basically get to third base with girls, and I just immediately thought about being a freak you know, being like minute bowl and I got incredibly sad and depressed and I was driving home crying uh, it's like a little like my voice was still high and, uh, I got home and and everyone was like what's wrong with Dave?
00:18:03.943 --> 00:18:04.967
and he's like.
00:18:04.967 --> 00:18:09.867
My brother, will was back from college nine years older, so he was like 21, maybe just graduated from college.
00:18:09.928 --> 00:18:10.470
How tall is he?
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:11.683
He's 6'2".
00:18:12.005 --> 00:18:12.286
Okay.
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:16.912
And he was fully, like you know, a man at that point 21.
00:18:16.912 --> 00:18:29.598
And I remember being at the table like head down and my mom's like Dave's going to be 6'10", Sorry, and guess what.
00:18:29.779 --> 00:18:31.606
It's because I know the family so well.
00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:38.093
Yeah my brother Will didn't stop laughing for like four minutes, like he started crying laughing.
00:18:38.093 --> 00:18:40.826
And weirdly it just made me feel better.
00:18:41.027 --> 00:18:43.512
He was just like Okay, see, yeah, it was just like.
00:18:44.180 --> 00:18:45.505
And this is what people don't understand.
00:18:45.505 --> 00:18:50.125
You know, just you know, just you know, sibling cruelty can kind of feel good.
00:18:50.626 --> 00:18:54.461
You know well, because I can picture your sisters being like he's sad.
00:18:54.541 --> 00:19:07.414
Don't be, don't be don't dig it like whatever, and then that actually can make you yeah, and then you make jokes, you're like whatever, but it seems like it really the way that you remember it.
00:19:07.539 --> 00:19:09.929
It clearly had a large impact.
00:19:10.099 --> 00:19:16.726
You know no one except the best basketball players in the world wants to be 6'10".
00:19:16.726 --> 00:19:30.528
Nobody, I guess that's right, yeah, and anyway, I'm happy to say that I started ripping bong hits about two years later and we curbed it all and now I'm just 6'4 1⁄2", which is about a half inch.
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:32.185
Oh, you were 6'4 1⁄2".
00:19:32.185 --> 00:19:32.888
Yeah, okay.
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:34.305
Yeah, we curbed it.
00:19:34.305 --> 00:19:37.548
Okay, we curbed it with aggressive, aggressive drug use.
00:19:37.548 --> 00:19:39.765
No, that's not true.
00:19:39.765 --> 00:19:48.415
I think, honestly, the doctor was wrong and he just didn't realize how small my balls are, that's all right.
00:19:48.415 --> 00:19:52.048
All right, all right, we've hit our time limit.
00:19:52.990 --> 00:19:53.230
Okay.
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:54.384
We'll stick to it.
00:19:56.201 --> 00:19:58.592
I think this is absolutely lovely.
00:19:58.592 --> 00:19:59.455
I love it.
00:19:59.455 --> 00:20:00.885
It's very fun for me Very fun.
00:20:01.601 --> 00:20:02.765
So you've got Zoom.
00:20:03.488 --> 00:20:03.769
I do.
00:20:04.080 --> 00:20:09.018
So I think what we should do is, occasionally we should get on the horn, and I'll test some stuff out for you.
00:20:09.479 --> 00:20:09.640
Great.
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:10.500
And then we can.
00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:21.426
I mean, it won't be every week, but it'll be like, because obviously at 11 pm you're asleep on Wednesdays Actually not, but it's probably not my ideal.
00:20:21.426 --> 00:20:22.108
Do you have trouble sleeping?
00:20:22.108 --> 00:20:22.871
No, I'm a night owl.
00:20:22.871 --> 00:20:23.531
Oh, you are.
00:20:23.632 --> 00:20:26.839
I putz around the house between like late at night Really.
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:27.823
I listen to audio books.
00:20:28.023 --> 00:20:29.750
Tell me more, say more.
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:32.147
I just that's when I wake up.
00:20:32.619 --> 00:20:33.545
What time do you wake up?
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:35.862
Like I get my.
00:20:35.862 --> 00:20:44.355
No, I get my, like I get a very strong second wind almost every night of my life Late.
00:20:44.355 --> 00:20:48.681
So what's your ideal?
00:20:48.681 --> 00:20:49.804
I don't get enough sleep ever I'm very sleep deprived.
00:20:49.804 --> 00:20:52.570
Oh, you are always yes, that's why I was so proud to show you that day.
00:20:52.570 --> 00:20:53.622
I saw you at meditation.
00:20:53.662 --> 00:21:23.592
I had eight and a half hours oh wow, that's very rare very rare so give me a typical night of sleep for a typical night is me saying to my husband I know I've said this before, but like, please, I really need to get to bed early tonight and him being like, please, don't ever talk about how you want to go to bed early ever again, because it's a pathological thing where I'm like I need to get sleep, but then, without fail, I'm like but I feel so productive now I feel awake and I do stuff.
00:21:23.652 --> 00:21:25.942
You're nocturnal, yeah so I organize, I clean, I put things back where they belong.
00:21:25.942 --> 00:21:26.625
Or you've been to our house.
00:21:26.625 --> 00:21:27.326
I feel awake, yeah, and I do stuff.
00:21:27.326 --> 00:21:30.273
You're nocturnal, yeah, so I organize, I clean, I put things back where they belong.
00:21:30.273 --> 00:21:31.737
You've been to our house, it's big.
00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:36.010
It takes time, so why doesn't your husband just give you the blessing of sleeping in?
00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:39.607
Let's get him on the podcast and find out.
00:21:39.607 --> 00:21:40.170
Come on.
00:21:40.170 --> 00:21:43.847
Charlie Charlie your life is about to go south.
00:21:43.847 --> 00:21:48.319
He has so many opinions.
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:48.681
No, you and.
00:21:48.701 --> 00:21:49.503
Mahan are the same.
00:21:49.503 --> 00:21:50.448
You're both nocturnal.
00:21:50.587 --> 00:21:50.769
Yeah.
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:53.849
And when the kids are out of the house, you'll return to your natural rhythm.
00:21:54.741 --> 00:21:58.392
And in Charlie's defense on the weekends, he lets me sleep.
00:21:58.799 --> 00:21:59.744
He doesn't sleep in.
00:21:59.744 --> 00:22:00.207
Yeah.
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:00.800
I could.
00:22:00.800 --> 00:22:04.450
If there's no alarm, I'll just go 11, 12.
00:22:04.450 --> 00:22:05.633
Yeah two.
00:22:05.633 --> 00:22:07.864
No, never late, never go to two.
00:22:07.864 --> 00:22:09.750
No, eight is like late.
00:22:09.750 --> 00:22:12.880
Nine's amazing, ten, yeah, twelve's like crazy, oh tag.
00:22:13.801 --> 00:22:14.726
This has been beautiful.
00:22:14.726 --> 00:22:21.332
I think you know, as a side note, one of the guests I had, kevin Christie.
00:22:21.332 --> 00:22:24.441
I was like have you done a lot of podcasts?
00:22:24.441 --> 00:22:26.122
He's like have you done a lot of podcasts?
00:22:26.122 --> 00:22:26.922
He's like are you fucking kidding?
00:22:26.942 --> 00:22:27.522
He's a stand-up comedian.
00:22:27.522 --> 00:22:28.222
He's done a million.
00:22:28.442 --> 00:22:30.325
And I was like they're so nice.
00:22:30.325 --> 00:22:41.471
I just feel like I learned so much about you and he's like I actually think podcasts are basically an antidote to male loneliness and it's just like it's a formal way of getting to know someone you never would at a dinner party.
00:22:41.471 --> 00:22:47.575
You ask different questions and it has to be, it has to have a level of depth.
00:22:47.575 --> 00:22:48.435
It has.
00:22:48.435 --> 00:22:53.265
You have to find out about things and it, and it, it so, so, in a weird way.
00:22:53.265 --> 00:22:57.892
Podcasting is this beautiful way of getting to know your friends.
00:22:58.913 --> 00:23:00.759
All right, love you, peggy.
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:01.779
Bye, love you.
