So we are now in lockdown number two. 63 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.319 So we're gonna have to do kind of what we did in lockdown number one. 64 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.839 Well, first off, wash your hands. Wash your hands, guys, 65 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.680 yeah, being adults. We're adults here, even you kids out there. 66 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.560 For the most part, kids are more adults than the adults. It's 67 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.680 it's really weird. But we all were also going to have to entertain ourselves, 68 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.000 right, we're gonna have to pass the time, we're gonna have to 69 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.839 figure some some stuff out. So in my my pastime has been video games. 70 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.519 I'm a Gamer, you know that, not balds gate, like real 71 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:45.439 games. I will say I was pleasantly surprised a friend of mine, who 72 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.000 doesn't know that I played balder's gate, was talking about how her like boyfriend 73 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.240 was telling her to play these video games. So she started playing a video 74 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:56.360 game from the late nineties, early two thousand's online, and she was playing 75 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:59.079 as a multiplayer and I was like this is a d and D game. 76 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.360 She goes, yeah, it is. I was like is a Balter's gate? 77 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.279 She's like yeah, and I'm like is Balther's gate? Oh, there 78 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:11.879 are more of you, how I really thought it was probably like eight of 79 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.560 you total. You know what I mean. Walter's gate, excuse you, 80 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:20.920 was one of the most famous and influential computer RPG Games that have spawned such 81 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:28.399 beloved titles that people play now, like pillars of eternity and divinity. Yeah, 82 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:33.120 the same eight people played those games. Wow, guys, we didn't 83 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:41.000 touch this topic in the last version of this episode, and now talk about 84 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.839 your video game playing. I dare you. I'm playing right now. Like 85 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.920 okay, so I was trying to figure out you're playing right now with me 86 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.439 and I don't know how any more lives you got left. I I'm surprised 87 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.439 I'm still on this one. So, like I was like, okay, 88 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.759 like I need a pastime because like my insomnia kicks in and like I like 89 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:01.800 to process at night to three in the morning, and I like the game. 90 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.680 I open world game so I can

like wander around and just kind of 91 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:09.079 like forget the kind of chaos that we deal with on a day to day 92 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.600 and just kind of like one around. So, like fallout has always been 93 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.480 my jam, clost apocalyptic, and I know people are like, dude, 94 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:19.399 it's really like dark. There's like monsters and of Ghoules and mutants and like 95 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.000 a lot of blood and stuff and like doesn't that like amp you up? 96 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.879 I was like, actually, it's very relaxing. It honestly down it oddly 97 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.399 enough, one of my first actational therapist was like no, don't play these 98 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.199 horror games because it's gonna raise your blood pressure, and I was like actually 99 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.600 relaxed me and she like yelled at me and I think do my own test 100 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.240 check my blood pressure. Boom, played twenty minutes of fall out. My 101 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:46.639 blood pressure drop eight points. So right now, comfortably it's about one two 102 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.680 over, like eight. The bottom number is still a little high, but 103 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:57.720 before it was like one five over. So, you know, still work 104 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.800 in progress. I'm a little bit more stressed out than normal. So like 105 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.000 I'm trying to like bring that down. So I was like all right, 106 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.959 fall out. So I'm gonna play old fallout, like fall out New Vegas. 107 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.120 Problem with with that is the graphics are terrible and the game plays like 108 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.480 really sluggish. I was like, I wish I had this, but like 109 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.920 updated. I already played. And Lauren, don't judge me, you can't 110 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.040 because you play Balder's gate and D and D you, nerd. I have 111 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:26.399 comfortably for you. It would be uncomfortably. I have for you, uncomfortably 112 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:33.120 pumped in probably about sixteen hundred hours and to fall out four over the past 113 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:39.799 several years. Wait several four years. About Sixteen hundred hours. It's a 114 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:46.120 problem, but I play. I play a bunch of different games too. 115 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.600 That's one. So I did that. And so I was like, I'm 116 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.200 not gonna play fall out for again because I've already like ran through it a 117 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.000 few times. I was playing assassin's creed Odyssey and then remember that point in 118 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.440 time where I was just banging dudes and video game for some reason. So 119 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:03.440 I and then I was done with Odyssey. So I was like, Oh, 120 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.279 I'm playing outer world right now and it's the people who did fall out 121 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:13.000 New Vegas. So it's basically fallout in outer space. It's amazing. I'm 122 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:20.200 having so much fun and it's keeping me sane great significantly better than Walter's skate. 123 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.519 Sorry, I don't mean to shoot on Balter's gate, but I mean 124 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.679 to shoot on Walter's gate. Well, you know what? Balters Gate three 125 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.399 is going to be coming out, hopefully this year soon, and the trailer, 126 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.399 the trailer is fired. The trailer is so good. You showed me 127 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.679 the trailer and I was so in and then I saw the game plan and 128 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.639 I was like, Oh, this is hot trash. Well, okay, 129 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.879 on that subject. Yes, Um, I am not a fan of the 130 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.279 gameplay that they're implementing for Balds Kate three, because I love Balter Skate one 131 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:58.440 and two, which did have that real time fighting and it was the overview 132 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.159 of the party. I like that. I find it more enjoyable. However, 133 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:09.000 there you have gone towards more of the divinity model or like final fantasy 134 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.600 kind of model, where it's turn based action. and Um, I mean 135 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.960 like I guess it is, technically, I'm more authentic to D and D, 136 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.279 but it also it's like D and D Five E, which I don't 137 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.720 like. Five years and I don't even know what that means. Fifth Edition. 138 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.879 Oh Dungeons and dragons have different editions and different rules and they have updates 139 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.759 and they take monsters and away and they put monsters in new campaigns. I 140 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.360 didn't know that. I didn't know they did that. That sucks. Yeah, 141 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.000 so like my balds gate, like when I or like my d and 142 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.600 d knowledge when I played and stuff was like Balter's gate second edition, slash 143 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.879 a D A, which is a Oh God, no, I can't think 144 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:58.480 of the word advanced dungeon. No, something. I can't think of the 145 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.120 word. If you were, if you were D and D Fan. You 146 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.240 know what I'm talking about, my era, the other the other seven of 147 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.480 you out there, don't be rude. Um. So, yes. So 148 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.279 then now there's fifth edition. UH, my friend is D M Ng and 149 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.639 she's trying to get me to come play

and I'm like okay, but you're 150 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.919 gonna treat me like a new because I don't know anything about fifth edition beyond 151 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.559 what I have seen as the means and Tiktok and critical role, because I've 152 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.320 been watching critical role. That's good, though, that you're going in fresh, 153 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.679 because you know you like, you know you don't like. You Love 154 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.600 Dungeons and dragons, right. So if you're but you've already done that, 155 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.279 this is like this is the same feeling you had when you first fell in 156 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.840 love with D N d. This is what it's going to be, because 157 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.519 you're like, I don't know any of this stuff, so I am a 158 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.279 Nube. But then you're gonna be like a dungeon master soon. No, 159 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:48.000 I'm going to be more annoyed and be like hey, these are stupid rules, 160 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.679 like that's not how it's supposed to be. I might be a rules 161 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.200 lawyer, which is the person that's like like that's not what we're supposed to 162 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.960 do. Oh, so you're going to be the most fun person in the 163 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.840 game. I might be. You can turn into Old Lady Lauren. Get 164 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:05.480 off my lawn. Back in my day, I want to be like Yo, 165 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.960 you're a cobald. Hey, you have an alignment, so you need 166 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.879 to follow your enlignment. None of this nonsense where you are. Oh, 167 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.840 I'm technically chaotic. Good, that means I can go steal from people. 168 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.960 No, asshole, you have to follow your alignment and you're a cobald. 169 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.240 You can't be chaotic. Something like something. No, Lauren, I have 170 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:33.279 missed you so much, like just so much. This is like the most 171 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.399 magical like. There is, like nerds sparkles coming off of your body right 172 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.240 now. It was so deep. Right now you've got so serious and intense 173 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.879 about Dn D. you're you're, you're like the DN D lawyer. Actually, 174 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.360 what you can't do, no about what about rock does is actually, 175 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:56.039 it's so funny. You're like the the hall monitor of D and D oh. 176 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.360 But this is where like, I won't I won't actually say like I'm 177 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.240 I'm the rules lawyer, because there are some far more intense like D and 178 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.000 d people like I think like I'm intense, but I'm like not intense by 179 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.799 comparison.

Okay, like you think I'm intense because you're a bubble in that 180 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:13.600 sense. So you're like, oh, Lauren's crazy. I look at some 181 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:20.120 of them and I'm like, okay, that blows my mind, because listening 182 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.080 to you talk about this really blows my mind. So if there's somebody that 183 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.039 you're looking at like I'm looking at you, that I don't even know how. 184 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.879 I can't even process that well. And it's and this kind of leads 185 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.320 into what we're talking about. In the last version of this was where Lauren 186 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:41.559 it has been accused of being a fake nerd girl. Impossible.

You know how my idiocy 224 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.120 knows no bounds, like it just doesn't. Your nerdum knows no bounds. 225 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.399 You have gone on and on and on about D and D and Balter's gate. 226 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:45.480 You have gone deep into the learning languages that don't exist. You're you 227 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.120 know, I think I'm gonna I think I'm gonna learn ORC. Who? 228 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:55.840 WHO LEARNS ORC? Oh, Jesus, see what I'm saying? Just saying 229 00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:00.399 that? Oh, I was just gonna say there is nobody, maybe Stephen 230 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.680 Colbert, that knows more about Lord of the rings than Lauren L no, 231 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.480 no, no, no, no, there's people who know far more about 232 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:08.720 Lord of the rings than I do. I do, I step back, 233 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:15.119 I am alsome. I might be people who have these. Well. So 234 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.759 the reason this is kind of funny is because, if you guys follow me 235 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.119 on social media, Um, I have recently discovered the Pandora's box of my 236 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:27.599 junior high and high school career and it is full of Um evidence, I'll 237 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:33.160 say, of how deep the Lauren Fandom, anime like rabbit hole, goes. 238 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.319 Um. So it really inspired me, like this is what we're talking 239 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.920 about, like we gotta, we gotta push through this like second quarantine, 240 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.039 right, guys. So I am trying to find creative ways to reignite my 241 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.319 creativity because I'm drained. Guys, like I worked like seventaiys a week right 242 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.720 now. I'm tired. Everything changes every month, every week, so I 243 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.440 have to like pivot and I am not a go with the flow kind of 244 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.559 person. I am a control freak. I think I mentioned before I had 245 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.640 to go to arap guys to admit that I was a control freak. That 246 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.599 was a thing. Yeah, that's that, like that was a moment's life. 247 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.240 Dude. I thought I was like this super chill, go at the 248 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.720 flow chick, like I was like totally chill, and my therapist is like 249 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.880 freaking gidding me and like I have to like confess to my parents that I 250 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.839 was a control freak, and my mother was like, I gave birth to 251 00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.720 you. You've been like this since day one. Is this a surprise? 252 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.400 Right? I actually told the doctor, actually, this is how you're going 253 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.799 to cut the umbilical cord. Dude. Seriously, at the point, probably, 254 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.920 but so, um. One of the ways I'm trying to reignite my 255 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:44.359 creativity is I'm kind of like delving back into like my original like fandoms. 256 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:49.240 So on social media I had posted Um one me badly singing a song in 257 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:55.559 Japanese, again reasons why I don't sing, and I enjoyed it by the 258 00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:59.920 way, and it is a song from Inuyasha. So if anyone knows the 259 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.839 Um but also I posted me dancing too. I think it's a very famous 260 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:10.200 song to a very popular and famous anime because not only was it popular, 261 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:12.680 like in Japan, but it was also on adult swim, on cartoon network. 262 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:17.359 So, like Norman's like, we watched it. I didn't like dubbed. 263 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:22.599 I always watched sub animes. I hate dubbed and so, like, 264 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.160 I know the acting isn't as good, but I find if I'm reading I'm 265 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.759 not actually watching the show, I'm just I feel like I'm just reading a 266 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:32.519 book. You know. Well. Also, I figure with brain injuries it's 267 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:36.799 hard also sometimes to have to pay attention. So I posted on something like 268 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.960 Hey, who knows this anime, and Joe's like not my fandom, and 269 00:19:40.000

--> 00:19:41.400 then we started talking about he's like, oh, it's probably not a popular 270 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:48.400 anime. Guys. It is Gundam Wing, the most popular Gundam Mecca anime, 271 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.200 and it is from Gundam wing endless waltz, which is the full length 272 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.160 feature film, and it was the main song that plays by two mix called 273 00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.799 last impression, when heatle gets to wing zero and unleash's wing zero for the 274 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:07.559 big final battle. Like hello. So for anybody out there, and I 275 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:12.200 know a few of you who have actually asked me directly, is Lauren really 276 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:18.960 that? Did you just hear the passion and care and love behind every single 277 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.960 one of those words? That? Like, unless she's the Meryl Streep of 278 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:30.200 acting, Lauren is Queen Nerd. It's crazy. It's crazy, it really 279 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.000 is. I love it that people think of a fake nerd girl, like 280 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.480 I think that's kind of really cool. I'm like, Oh really, because 281 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.839 trust me, if you knew me growing up, you would have not thought 282 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:40.160 it was. They're like, oh no, she's the NERD. Well, 283 00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:42.799 yeah, well, I haven't seen a lot of pictures of you. I 284 00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:48.519 just assume they're embarrassing. I assume they're very embarrassing. I cannot wait to 285 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.839 see them. So you guys don't get to see these videos or see when 286 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:55.400 we record guys. So you guys don't get to see the faces. I 287 00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.200 may so just joe gets too. So, Joe, you see these faces 288 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:04.759 on yard went on. Hey, they bring me so much joy and I'm 289 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:08.039 laughing with you because if I feel you felt I was laughing at you, 290 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:15.519 I would be murdered through this microphone somehow. Fireball. No, I I 291 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.119 love. I love the nerdum like it really. It blows me away. 292 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:23.240 It does, because Lauren, when I say Queen Nerd I'm not just saying 293 00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.160 well, she's my co host. She's amazing. She's quite. No, 294 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.200 no, no, Fan fiction. Not only does she read constantly, how 295 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.160 do you have time? It's crazy. She writes. She doesn't just right, 296 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:40.000 she writes epic, Amazing Fan Fiction. Guys, I am actually so. 297 00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:42.480 I'm going through my tabs right now and I'm seeing how many fan fix 298 00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:48.240 I currently have opened. That I'm good. I Have Tab okay, Oh 299 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.640 my God, that gives me anxiety. How many tabs you have open? 300 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:55.079 Clothes them? It's too much, because I keep them on so I can 301 00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:59.440 refresh and see if there's new chapters. Oh my see it. Do you 302 00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:04.039 understand? End The nerdum in that line alone. I keep them open to 303 00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:08.799 refresh, to say, come on, man. Okay, so that's one 304 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:14.480 way. Guys. I'm also so again. I'm delving into my old animals 305 00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:18.240 and rewatching them. I am because I actually strayed a very far away from 306 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.440 anime and she started to become a normal human being. Well, no, 307 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.240 then I went into marvel and star wars and like I developed, like I 308 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.200 was telling a friend, like I was like yeah, I thought I was 309 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:33.240 like past the anime stage and I was like into marvel and yes, I 310 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.960 had my my my ships and my crushes, you know, Kylo wren and 311 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.599 stucky and and thor and Loki. Like I was there, and then I 312 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:44.799 kind of like stumbled into this box again, guys, and I'm like Fusi 313 00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:52.839 Yu Vice Yaha, oh my God, I have to rewatch everything. Oh 314 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:57.599 Lord, Waldemort, it's you get so happy. This is what I love. 315 00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:00.640 I love that it brings so much joy, which, in turn, 316 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.599 it brings me so much joy. I love seeing you happy. It makes 317 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:08.440 me happy, it really does. I don't understand any of it, but 318 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:11.200 it makes me happy. Makes you happy makes me happy. And we're talking 319 00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.839 about like enemy. It's attack on Titan, attack on Titan or nothing. 320 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:22.319 You should watch evangelion if you like attack on Titan, neon genesis. EVANGELION 321 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.720 was before, I think, like ten years before attack on Titan, not 322 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.119 in the same universe, but it has that same vibe. So what we're 323 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.880 going to do, guys, is Um Joe and I are going to make 324 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.640 a list of recommendations of like what we recommend, like anime wise, or 325 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.200 TV show wise, Marvel wise, Netflix wise, Um, and these are 326 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.079 gonna be like Lauren and Joe's like top ten or whatever, and then we're 327 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.359 gonna ask you guys to give us your recommendations. That like if, because 328 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.599 I swear I'm scraping the barrel right now on Netflix and maybe I'm just like 329 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:57.559 looking in the

wrong barrel right like maybe my passive perception roles have been that 330 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:03.319 ones at this point. Got Laurence, speaking of scraping the bottom of the 331 00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:06.200 barrel. Okay, I do need recommendations. Do you want to know why? 332 00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.559 What was I watching on Netflix? What did I finish? An entire 333 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:14.359 season of the floor is lava. No, you did not. Yes, 334 00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:18.000 I did nothing better to do. Oh my okay. So, so here, 335 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.400 here, here's another fun fact about Joe. Joe Smokes Weed. Okay, 336 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:25.079 so late and I was like, you know, let's see what the 337 00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.960 floor's lava is all about, because, like everybody's like watching and talking about 338 00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:30.480 it, and I watched it and I was like, Oh wow, for 339 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.880 some reason I kept going in. I went in for ten episodes. So 340 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.480 every episode it's not very good, but that's where I'm at. I need 341 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.880 new recommendations. Actually, I'm in the middle of Doom patrol, which I 342 00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:45.160 you know, it's like it's it gives me hope that DC is going to 343 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:49.640 do something right. DC wins with this one television show. That's about it 344 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.000 right now. No, no, actually, I'm watching, or I finished 345 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.079 watching and I'm rewatching it constantly because it's really changed the way I think. 346 00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:02.720 And it sounds funny. It's an animated show called Midnight Gospel on Netflix and 347 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.519 it's basically one of Joe Rogan's Dudes, like he's a bunch of podcast with 348 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:11.079 him. He has his own podcast and he takes the podcast and he animated 349 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.680 and he talks about all kinds of stuff. The way the mind works, 350 00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:21.400 energies. It's so crazy, but it's so good and it's actually changed the 351 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:26.119 way that I think. That's why I'm really focused in on being around people 352 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:29.319 who have the same energy that I do, because that's how I think I'm 353 00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:32.799 going to grow as a person and I'm going to be able to continue on 354 00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:36.920 this path of recovery. You know, definitely, and I think because we 355 00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:40.680 were talking about this as well, how important it is to be cognizant of 356 00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:44.440 your energy levels. Um, I mean we as, if you think about 357 00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.440 it, we as people, as the brain injured, as the neuro as 358 00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:52.640 neuro nerds. Um, right, we already start kind of in a deficit, 359 00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:55.960 right. So like, if you think about like your HP on a 360 00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.400 video game, right, we don't even start with full hp once we start 361 00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:00.960 the day, right, or full manna. We don't start there. We 362 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.960 already start with like a deficit. We have a minus one to something and, 363 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:10.400 Um and then you, if you are spending time on your social media, 364 00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:12.359 Um and and guys, there's no shame in the game, because I 365 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:18.200 know all of us are increasing our time on our screens because it is lockdown 366 00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:21.079 right. It is the nature of what's going on right now. Um Or, 367 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:25.759 we're spending time with maybe family members or people that are within our little 368 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:30.640 groups that we're actually seeing that maybe we don't really like vibe with, instead 369 00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.559 of saying like with. You know, I'm trying to be good about it. 370 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:36.839 I guess a lot, but I was telling Joe it's my new thing 371 00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:41.720 called mute it and boot it. Right, it's gonna be a t shirt 372 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.119 no, but what it is it's like, I know sometimes with my anxiety, 373 00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.799 like I don't want to unfriend people or block people because I'm like right, 374 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.200 but like there's sometimes you just can't keep seeing their post, no matter 375 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.519 what it is. It's not necessarily about covid or about what's going on in 376 00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:59.880 the world. It could just be I really don't want to see that. 377 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.960 Well, fildle of your damn cat, right, like cat's not even cute, 378 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.519 like I want cute cats, right, but it's like, I mean 379 00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.680 whatever, be a dog or be nothing, you know, but or it's 380 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:14.839 like your kid. I'm like, I don't care about your damn kid. 381 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:19.880 You think your kid's cute. Sorry, spoiler alert, he's not. So 382 00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.319 what you but like that's where you've got to take care of your own mental 383 00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:27.359 health, guys, and just mute the stories, mute the post. And 384 00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:30.839 what that does is it doesn't block the person, it doesn't unfriend or unfollow 385 00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:36.799 them, but it just prevents you from seeing their their their stories or their 386 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:40.960 posts Um right up front and center. You can still go look for them 387 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:47.279 if you're in an extremely masochistic mood, like, but you don't have they 388 00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:52.640 don't come

Because of my 393 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:10.000 stroke, it's hard to get through reading books, but thanks to audible, 394 00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:12.720 I can listen to stroke survivor Covita Bossi's Book Room Twenty Three. Once it 395 00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:17.519 popped up on audible, I immediately put it on my witch thirsts read Coveta's 396 00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:19.880 book with us. That's right, the neural nerds have a book club. 397 00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:23.799 What a great way for our brain injury survivor community to read books together, 398 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:26.839 and mean if you don't want to read the book we're reading.

It's not like a ugly kid again, or like 402 00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:47.160 you know, whatever triggering thing these people do, whether it's friends or family, 403 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.599 whatever, is not whatever is gonna screw with your energy. You don't 404 00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.359 necessarily need to see that. So just put it on you put it in 405 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.039 the back burner. Hopefully that person will grow as a human being, you 406 00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:59.400 know what I mean, and get on your level. I mentioned a lot 407 00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.680 like the Trans edition of us, brain injured, like we've evolved into like 408 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:07.480 beautiful butterflies from caterpillars, those caterpillars. We're not messing with caterpillars right now. 409 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.440 We're just not. We have to mess with our own right. We're 410 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.359 all beautiful butterflies and we're flying high in this guy. So what do we 411 00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:17.759 talk about? We talk about butterfly stuff. It's so beautiful up here, 412 00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:21.720 it's so nice. We're not talking about wow, it's so cold and filthy 413 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.519 down here crawling in the dirt because I'm a caterpillar. I'm sorry, I'm 414 00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:29.279 past that. I can't get sucked down into that. I do hope that 415 00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:32.359 in the time that I mute these people that they do evolve, that they 416 00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:36.319 do grow so they can fly high with us up here

in the beautiful sky 417 00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:40.960 and enjoy things like we're enjoying things. Apparently I'm not a butterfly, according 418 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:42.599 to no no, no, no, Lauren is absolutely not. Now, 419 00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:47.799 I'm not saying that to be a Dick. Remember Hashtag. Don't be a 420 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.559 lauren is beyond. She's evolved past butterfly. She is Mo thraw. She 421 00:29:52.920 --> 00:30:00.079 is a giant ass kicking Kaiju that can take down God Zilla. Yeah, 422 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:07.200 L Manzano, that was like that was like the most least aggressive and seriativitating. 423 00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:12.200 Like, yeah, it rocked, it rocked so softly. That was 424 00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:19.680 like the Jack Johnson of rocking right there. But Yeah, you you definitely 425 00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:22.720 have to keep your energy right, because everything that's going on in the world 426 00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.400 is draining. It's a lot, and try to stay aligned with good people. 427 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.519 So, like, really I am in a place where I don't have 428 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.279 a lot of mental band I never really have. Post stroke, had a 429 00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.920 lot of mental bandwidth, but now it's so minimal that I can only give 430 00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:41.400 my energy to people who actually kind of have the same energy. Now, 431 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:45.319 if you're struggling and you're like, well, I don't really know what to 432 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.119 do, I want to help you, I desperately want to help you, 433 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.240 but you also kind of want to have to help yourself. You know what 434 00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:56.880 I mean? Anybody who's like willing to like move forward and try something different, 435 00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.359 to get out of the dirt right and not be a caterpillar crawling around. 436 00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:03.480 I'm there, like I want to help you, fly with us, 437 00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.640 let's do this. But it's those people who are those people who are like, 438 00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.039 no, I'm a caterpillar and this dirt is amazing and I know you're 439 00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:12.839 flying high up there and doing those things, but you need to be down 440 00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:15.400 here in the dirt with me. It's those people I can't really mess with. 441 00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.960 I just I just can't. You know, I don't have the mental 442 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:23.319 bandwidth. I'm too busy making fun of things like Balder's gate month is gonna 443 00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:29.200 come eat you. No, no, it's very true. And then one 444 00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:32.400 of the things is like, especially with like being on lockdown and, like 445 00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.559 we're saying, there's places other parts in the world right now they're going through

446 00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.599 their second wave. Here in the US, I swear we're still in wave 447 00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:42.519 one. So you know we're in remedial. It's where it's like remedial covid 448 00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:45.039 right, um, but like for the rest of the world, like in 449 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.799 Spain, parts of Spain that I know that are going back on lockdown. 450 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.960 You might be home or spending a lot of time with nothing meant with people 451 00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:59.480 who don't necessarily feed your recovery or feed your health and well being. One 452 00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.039 of the things I would do if I needed to. I don't necessarily have 453 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:05.720 to do with my family. Thank of that, like sometimes with people I 454 00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:09.039 work with or people, Um, I like teach, you just have to 455 00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:14.640 limit you have to create the boundary right and and just kind of be straight 456 00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:17.039 up with people. I do have like one of my friends who literally, 457 00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:21.400 she is a lot of person and she has a lot of energy. She's 458 00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:24.240 also a Gemini, so she's a lot of voices, right, I love 459 00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:28.359 her. She's a lot but, like herd I've had a frank discussion and 460 00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:30.079 I'm like look, Dude, like you are a lot of person, and 461 00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:35.119 so when I when I'm I have to prepare to talk to you, I 462 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:38.119 have to like mentally get myself ready to text you back or to call you. 463 00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:43.400 So because I know one text is not one text, right. So 464 00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:46.880 if you can have that very frank, direct discussion with people, that can 465 00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:51.319 make it very clear and everyone's aware. So once everyone's aware, it's like 466 00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.079 cool. But if you can't have that discussion, like if it's with your 467 00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:59.200 parents or something like that. Like mentally, you've got to like build those 468 00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.839 like those mental muscles, you know, be like, okay, I'm going 469 00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:06.599 to limit how much time, like I'm gonna put on my phone ten minutes 470 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:08.440 and then be like, Oh, I have to go answer an email or 471 00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:12.079 oh, I got a text from work, I gotta go answer and like 472 00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.400 yeah, just just do that. Look, when you put up boundaries, 473 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:17.880 it's one of the most adult things that you can do. You know. 474 00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:23.240 And here here's the thing. People who don't like those boundaries, those probably 475 00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:25.720 aren't the people who are going to grow with you. Those are

the people 476 00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:28.920 who are caterpillars or who are like, well, why are you trying to 477 00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:30.400 fly high? Why not just hang out in the dirt here with us? 478 00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:35.559 Now, caterpillars are kind of cool, I like they're like I like slugs 479 00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:37.519 too. I was like maybe there's snails. No, I like snails. 480 00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:43.839 Okay, let's just call them angry caterpillars. Angry angry caterpillars. Yeah, 481 00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:49.200 those angry caterpillars, the ones who don't want to see other caterpillars succeed, 482 00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:51.480 you know what I mean? Like that, that that sucks. Now, 483 00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:52.880 if you're putting up a boundary. It's not because you're being a jerk. 484 00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:57.200 You're just putting up something. Hey, you do a certain thing or you 485 00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:00.039 say a certain thing or your actions make me feel a certain way and I 486 00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:04.319 can't have that for my own mental well being. Right. If the other 487 00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:06.839 side is like, well, I don't like your boundaries, it's like, 488 00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:10.880 oh, so you like making me feel okay or a comfortable like making me 489 00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:15.840 feel uncomfortable and sad and miserable? Like you want to do that, you 490 00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:17.920 want to make me feel that way. No, you don't. Okay, 491 00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:21.679 cool, so you're gonna have to respect my boundaries. Right. If they 492 00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:23.920 don't respect your boundaries, you know exactly where you stand and you might need 493 00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:28.800 to distance yourself even further. You might need to mute it and boot it. 494 00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:36.880 Yes, boom muted and Stiletto booted. Yes, I'm okay with that. 495 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:42.440 Oh and speaking of nerdum and Stiletto boots, Lauren's nerdum is even deeper 496 00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:51.440 because she's going to create a routine based around nerd so I it's currently in 497 00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:52.960 the works that, since we're now down, I'll lockdown again, like. 498 00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:57.639 Well, I mean I don't necessarily have more time, but I am going 499 00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:00.360 to make it happen. You will never have more time exactly. Um, 500 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:05.159 and so one of the things I'm doing I have two projects. One is 501 00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:08.440 called train your class. Now also I want to make a neural nerd get 502 00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:13.159 together work out kind of deal where we'll post some info on it. It's 503 00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:16.360 going to be like a free zoom join in and you guys can come and 504 00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.679 do some work out with me from home, depending on WHO's signed up. 505 00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:25.000 I will tailor the exercise depending on deficits as well. So like, if 506 00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:29.880 you are chair bound, we have exercises for you. I have exercise for 507 00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:31.800 you that are for chair bound if you can. If you have limited movement, 508 00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:35.519 I can make lotifications. But it's just kind of like a get together. 509 00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:38.119 Get some get our hearts racing and stuff like that, and not just 510 00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:43.360 because I'm looking at you. Get your hearts facing how amazing is that? 511 00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:45.679 And any guy that's going to be part of that on the zoom, her 512 00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.719 eyes are up there, Fella. No, just keep your pants on, 513 00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.239 guys, because remember I had that zoom troll that was so weird. Keep 514 00:35:52.280 --> 00:36:02.840 your sad penis inside your pants, guys, Jesus. But the other projects 515 00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:07.000 I have, which are probably going to be released on twitch guys and they're 516 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:12.400 gonna be through my dance studio. One is called train your class and it 517 00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:15.360 is a D and d based workout, like short workout videos. It's like 518 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:20.199 five to ten minutes and it's going to be like, what is your class? 519 00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:22.880 If you are like if you want to be a rogue, then we're 520 00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:27.800 gonna work on like rolls in somersaults and dexterity for the day and get your 521 00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:30.599 heart rate right up that way. If you're a bard, I'm totally leaning 522 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.239 into a little bit of Five v that I know and the snapchat. Wait, 523 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:37.440 now that's the TIKTOK. Man, I feel like an old person, 524 00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:42.400 the snapchat and the tiktok the videos where the bards are tworking those things on 525 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.920 the internets. By the way, this is brilliant. This is a brilliant 526 00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:49.280 idea. I joke and I make fun, but this is such a good 527 00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.559 idea I'm like, don't steal guys, I'm gonna and I'll do this on 528 00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:55.840 a green screen and I'm gonna slightly dress up in theme. Yet wait, 529 00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:59.760 wait, when you say dress up, you're gonna have clothes on. Right. 530 00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:02.280 Okay, good, good, good. Just wanted to make sure the 531 00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:09.280 next project has less close I have. It's called dirty nerdy. Okay, 532 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:15.280 I love it. That is literally my my brand, according to my studio 533 00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:19.320 owner, because I'm literally like she's like you're like this really sentual hot dancer 534 00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.800 and then

you're a sucking Dork, and I'm like yes, so I'm describes 535 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:28.199 you perfectly. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to take some classic 536 00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:32.239 nerd songs that I love so like I'm gonna Dress up as Sarah from the 537 00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:36.800 labyrinth and dance, and I'm gonna borrow my friend's husband, who dresses up 538 00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:40.719 as Jarreff, and I'm going to basically like a lab dance or pole dance 539 00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:45.960 for Jerefic, Goblin King, or I'm gonna dress a Bi Jennifer from the 540 00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:50.880 witcher and also dance to toss a coin to your witcher, to the old 541 00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:54.199 witch. That's good. This is such a good idea. I cannot wait 542 00:37:54.239 --> 00:38:00.239 for the masses to see this. It's brilliant. Lauren l Manzano, nerd 543 00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:06.719 Queen.

You know, this was kind of like a like a 562 00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:40.039 reintroduction, reintroduction, just like a reuniting episode, because we've been kind of 563 00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:45.679 like apart for a while and it makes me sad.
