Welcome & Host Introductions1:44 – 1:52

Jodie WalkerHost1:44

Hello, and welcome to We're Obsessed, a pop culture conversation pod here on the Ringer Podcast Network.

Jodie WalkerHost1:50

I'm Jodie Walker.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:51

And I'm Nora Princiotti.

Little Treats & Comfort Talk1:53 – 5:54

Jodie WalkerHost1:53

And Nora, last week if we were in hell, I would say this week we are just really trying our best to find little ways to avoid it.

Nora PrinciottiHost2:01

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost2:01

I think I'm fine.

Jodie WalkerHost2:01

Find little ways to make things interesting.

Nora PrinciottiHost2:03

I feel good.

Jodie WalkerHost2:04

Like [laughs] really latching on to, like, freaky little guys and stuff.

Nora PrinciottiHost2:08

Can I tell you something that happened to me this weekend?

Jodie WalkerHost2:10

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost2:10

Which was that, um...

Nora PrinciottiHost2:11

Or no, not even this weekend.

Nora PrinciottiHost2:13

Uh, yesterday, which was Monday as we're recording this, I was really grumpy because w- we got, like, a little bit of, not that bad, but, like, kind of bad news about, um, my never-ending apartment project, and I was grumpy.

Nora PrinciottiHost2:27

And so my husband took me to get an ice cream cone [laughs] and then I felt better.

Jodie WalkerHost2:31

That's correct.

Nora PrinciottiHost2:33

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost2:33

That was the right thing to do.

Nora PrinciottiHost2:34

That's kind of what feels like it's going on, like we're all just sort of trying to get through it with a little treat.

Jodie WalkerHost2:39

Oh, I'm always giving myself a little ice cream cone.

Jodie WalkerHost2:43

I mean, q- q- quite literally.

Jodie WalkerHost2:44

I have, I have been eating a lot of ice c- I was gonna say, I, like, started to pull from our Instagram responses of, like, what everyone was obsessed week this, with this week, 'cause literally every answer was Jimothy.

Jodie WalkerHost2:56

Every answer was Jimothy.

Nora PrinciottiHost2:57

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost2:57

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost2:57

There was, like, a, like-

Nora PrinciottiHost2:58

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost2:58

... a Stray World Cup or, you know, Poop Parasite or something.

Jodie WalkerHost3:02

Everything was Jimothy, and the rest were just, like, people in chaos.

Nora PrinciottiHost3:05

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost3:06

Someone was like, "I'm eating a lot of mourning popsicles." [laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost3:10

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost3:11

Okay.

Nora PrinciottiHost3:11

And then someone-

Jodie WalkerHost3:12

Okay, okay, okay.

Jodie WalkerHost3:14

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost3:14

That is the most-

Jodie WalkerHost3:15

It's all coming back to me

Nora PrinciottiHost3:15

...

Nora PrinciottiHost3:15

Jodie-coded thing I've ever heard.

Nora PrinciottiHost3:17

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost3:18

I know.

Jodie WalkerHost3:18

I know, and I personally have had, like, the most Jodie-coded last week that even I could have.

Jodie WalkerHost3:25

Nora, this weekend I did a little bit of shopping and, um, they had cookies out at Cezanne and I put s-

Nora PrinciottiHost3:33

Wow

Jodie WalkerHost3:33

... several in my purse on the way out the door.

Nora PrinciottiHost3:35

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost3:35

Forgot about it.

Jodie WalkerHost3:37

Everything in my life is covered in powdered sugar.

Nora PrinciottiHost3:40

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost3:40

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost3:41

I put 'em, like, loose in a napkin [laughs] and totally forgot.

Nora PrinciottiHost3:44

What type of cookie?

Jodie WalkerHost3:45

Um, well, you know, by the time I got to 'em it was honestly hard to tell.

Nora PrinciottiHost3:48

Unrecognizable.

Jodie WalkerHost3:50

Unrecognizable cookie.

Nora PrinciottiHost3:50

Identified by their dental records only.

Jodie WalkerHost3:52

I think [laughs] they were, like, a bit of a...

Jodie WalkerHost3:56

They were almost chewy once you got into them.

Jodie WalkerHost3:58

Again, that could've been with time, and to be very clear, yeah, I did eat one [laughs] once I got to them.

Jodie WalkerHost4:04

And, like, I feel like now my keys, my loose keys aren't working as well 'cause they're covered in powdered sugar.

Nora PrinciottiHost4:09

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost4:10

I'm not to mourning popsicles yet, but at this rate I will be.

Jodie WalkerHost4:15

Uh, someone was like, they said something about a Snickers ice cream bar that was, like, as though they had discovered it for, like, for everyone.

Jodie WalkerHost4:21

They were like, "You gotta get yourself to a Snickers ice cream bar." [laughs] They're the best thing you've ever had.

Jodie WalkerHost4:28

And I just wonder if they just discovered that they exist.

Nora PrinciottiHost4:31

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost4:31

And we love you, and we love all of you and your mourning popsicles.

Nora PrinciottiHost4:34

No, totally.

Nora PrinciottiHost4:35

Because it also, like, doesn't it actually kind of make you feel better about the world and yourself and everything that that shit works?

Jodie WalkerHost4:45

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost4:46

Okay.

Nora PrinciottiHost4:46

Like, my ice cream made me feel completely better.

Nora PrinciottiHost4:49

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost4:49

Yeah, 'cause nothing's real.

Jodie WalkerHost4:51

Whatever the little, you know, whatever the apartment-

Nora PrinciottiHost4:53

Right, it's fine

Jodie WalkerHost4:53

... setback was-

Nora PrinciottiHost4:53

It's fine

Jodie WalkerHost4:54

... it's gonna, it will be healed.

Jodie WalkerHost4:56

It will be healed with ice cream.

Jodie WalkerHost4:58

I did write this one down from Brittany because it made me laugh, what she's obsessed with this week.

Jodie WalkerHost5:03

Figuring out laundry.

Jodie WalkerHost5:04

Like, are scent beads okay? Cold water only? Softeners? No? What the fuck?

Nora PrinciottiHost5:11

[laughs] Um, okay.

Nora PrinciottiHost5:13

We don't have time right now, but I do have thoughts on this subject.

Jodie WalkerHost5:15

I know, I know.

Jodie WalkerHost5:16

I, that was actually what made me stop writing them down is I was like, "I have so much to say about laundry."

Nora PrinciottiHost5:21

Okay.

Nora PrinciottiHost5:22

We're, we're tabling it for another time, but at, at some point there's gonna be a We're Obsessed seance on the topic of laundry.

Jodie WalkerHost5:28

Hey, Brittany, um, pick it back up with us.

Jodie WalkerHost5:31

No to scent beads, get Folax.

Jodie WalkerHost5:33

That's, I'm gonna keep it there.

Nora PrinciottiHost5:34

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost5:35

I love Folax.

Jodie WalkerHost5:36

Folax.

Nora PrinciottiHost5:37

Folax.

Jodie WalkerHost5:37

It's, it's in my Worth the Money list, which is coming up later, and we need to, we do need to reserve time for.

Jodie WalkerHost5:43

I told you what my treats, my little treats were this weekend.

Nora PrinciottiHost5:46

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost5:46

They're, I mean, not little treats of the sweet treat variety-

Jodie WalkerHost5:49

Mm-hmm

Nora PrinciottiHost5:49

...

Nora PrinciottiHost5:49

but little treats for the soul, the mind.

Jodie WalkerHost5:50

Well, right.

Jodie WalkerHost5:51

They don't have to be just ice cream, although they mostly are.

Tarot Exhibit & Psychic Reading Adventure5:54 – 12:27

Jodie WalkerHost5:54

I did see a psychic.

Jodie WalkerHost5:56

Um, this was for a somewhat normal reason, which was that a couple of friends and I went to the opening of the tarot history exhibit at-

Nora PrinciottiHost6:06

Right

Jodie WalkerHost6:07

...

Jodie WalkerHost6:07

the Morgan Library.

Nora PrinciottiHost6:08

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost6:08

Very cool.

Jodie WalkerHost6:09

Very cool, very interesting.

Jodie WalkerHost6:12

... learned a lot.

Jodie WalkerHost6:13

I would say it's, it's been a while since I, I know you turned everyone on to the, the Jerry Saltz newsletter and, and getting them back into the, the museum streets.

Jodie WalkerHost6:22

It's, I feel like it's been a while since I went into a new exhibit and was like, "I really didn't know this at all."

Nora PrinciottiHost6:29

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost6:29

"They did not teach this in history class."

Nora PrinciottiHost6:32

Which part?

Jodie WalkerHost6:33

Which is that tarot is just a game.

Jodie WalkerHost6:37

Was just a game.

Jodie WalkerHost6:38

Like, it was, it's just a deck of playing cards from, like, the 14th century.

Nora PrinciottiHost6:43

Right.

Jodie WalkerHost6:44

And then in the late 18th century, they're scraping by with that.

Jodie WalkerHost6:48

Basically 19th century.

Jodie WalkerHost6:50

Couple of French guys were like, "You know what we're gonna do? Turn this into magic." Just, like, openly make something up.

Jodie WalkerHost6:57

I know if you subscribe-

Nora PrinciottiHost6:58

I sh- I didn't know that.

Nora PrinciottiHost6:59

That's really interesting.

Jodie WalkerHost6:59

It's really interesting.

Jodie WalkerHost7:01

This, the exhibit is, is very cool.

Jodie WalkerHost7:03

Like, I can't believe some of the stuff they've preserved, and [laughs] I just, like, I experienced it like a twist in a film.

Nora PrinciottiHost7:11

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost7:11

Like, when I...

Jodie WalkerHost7:12

It kind of goes in a circle, and when I got to the 18th century, I was like, "What the fuck?" But hone- honestly, when I started it, I was like, "What the fuck?" 'Cause I w- I thought we were going in there, like, I was going into, like-

Nora PrinciottiHost7:22

Right, this was supposed to tell your future, and this is how people-

Jodie WalkerHost7:24

I was gonna be learning about divination.

Nora PrinciottiHost7:26

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost7:26

And then it was like, doop-a-doop-a-doo, everybody in Italy loves playing cards.

Nora PrinciottiHost7:31

They love to play cards.

Jodie WalkerHost7:32

For several centuries, and then someone was like, "No, it's magic." And really that is how moch- most spirituality [laughs] starts.

Nora PrinciottiHost7:38

Sure.

Jodie WalkerHost7:39

Sure.

Nora PrinciottiHost7:39

Just a couple Frenchmen with a sense of whimsy.

Jodie WalkerHost7:41

And I want to be clear here that, like, it may sound like I'm ragging on tarot cards or not subscribing to them, and if you are someone who's like, "I love tarot," or, "I love my CoStar app," or what have you, I support you.

Jodie WalkerHost7:54

Because then, it, as a part of this exhibit, if you got there early, twist, I didn't, um, you could get a $10 psychic reading.

Jodie WalkerHost8:04

They, like, had a tarot-

Nora PrinciottiHost8:06

Oh.

Jodie WalkerHost8:06

They, uh, they had a tarot reader there.

Jodie WalkerHost8:08

We all got there at different times.

Jodie WalkerHost8:10

None of us were early enough.

Jodie WalkerHost8:11

Totally missed it.

Jodie WalkerHost8:11

So then we were like, "Well, we have to go to a psychic." We were-

Nora PrinciottiHost8:13

Oh, okay.

Nora PrinciottiHost8:13

Okay

Jodie WalkerHost8:14

... we were promised a psychic tonight.

Jodie WalkerHost8:15

So we went to, um, what we saw on Google Maps says Psychic of Manhattan, but later when we got her card, she was called Psychic of Empire State Building dot com.

Jodie WalkerHost8:27

I am plugging her, I guess officially now that I've given her website, because I do believe that Psychic of Empire State Building dot com has the gift of sight.

Nora PrinciottiHost8:37

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost8:38

I know that I just said tarot g- like, this, it's basically like she's flipping aces of spades, and yet she has the gift of sight.

Jodie WalkerHost8:45

My-

Nora PrinciottiHost8:45

Just when you thought you were out, she pulled you back in.

Jodie WalkerHost8:47

Exactly.

Jodie WalkerHost8:47

Like, my assumption is that she does the cards 'cause she knows we like the cards, but she simply sees the future.

Nora PrinciottiHost8:56

Sure.

Jodie WalkerHost8:57

And when we were reading all of her Google reviews, which is how we chose her-

Nora PrinciottiHost9:00

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost9:00

... um, they all were like, "She's so accurate." And I was kinda, as a not, well, as she told me herself, a not very spiritual person.

Jodie WalkerHost9:11

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost9:11

She told you that you're not a spiritual person.

Jodie WalkerHost9:13

She was like, "You're great.

Jodie WalkerHost9:16

You're a pos- you're s- yeah, you're clearly so, like, you're a really positive person.

Jodie WalkerHost9:20

You're a go-getter.

Jodie WalkerHost9:21

You're clearly very accomplished in a l- in life.

Jodie WalkerHost9:23

You're about to be so successful." Nora, huge news.

Jodie WalkerHost9:26

I believe we are about to be so successful-

Nora PrinciottiHost9:28

Yes

Jodie WalkerHost9:28

... per Val.

Nora PrinciottiHost9:29

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost9:29

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost9:29

Um, she was like-

Nora PrinciottiHost9:30

Last three days of retrograde

Jodie WalkerHost9:31

... she was like, "I do have to tell you something," and then she basically was like, "You're spiritually bankrupt.

Jodie WalkerHost9:36

But you can-"

Nora PrinciottiHost9:36

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost9:39

"But you can build that back up." She was like, "It's just been a hard year.

Jodie WalkerHost9:43

Y- your spiritual meters are low.

Jodie WalkerHost9:44

You just gotta build that back up."

Nora PrinciottiHost9:45

You gotta build it back up.

Nora PrinciottiHost9:46

Okay, we can work on that.

Jodie WalkerHost9:48

So everyone kept being like, all the reviews were like, "She's so accurate," and I was kind of like, well, I don't wanna go so- to someone to accurately tell me things about myself.

Jodie WalkerHost9:55

I know accurate things about myself.

Jodie WalkerHost9:56

And yet, the situation is when someone-

Nora PrinciottiHost10:00

But isn't she telling you the future?

Jodie WalkerHost10:01

Well, first she's telling you the present, and when someone explains your present to you in, like, honestly pretty extreme detail-

Nora PrinciottiHost10:09

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost10:10

... and then, and, like, I was there with, y- doing it with two other friends who did individual sessions, so you could be thinking like, "Okay, but is she just really good at saying vague stuff that makes you feel really seen?" No, she told each of us super different stuff about ourselves that was super central to us, so then you're like, "Wow, this woman is really accurate." So then when she tells you the future, you're like, "Yeah, I probably am-"

Nora PrinciottiHost10:31

Listen

Jodie WalkerHost10:31

... "about to create general w- generational wealth for my family." [laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost10:33

Better listen.

Nora PrinciottiHost10:35

Wow.

Jodie WalkerHost10:36

Um, so that was a little treat for me.

Jodie WalkerHost10:39

Um.

Nora PrinciottiHost10:40

Can I tell you that I experienced the reveal that this took place, I actually don't know the answer to this, in, near the Empire State Building?

Jodie WalkerHost10:50

Very near the Empire State Building, as listed on the website.

Nora PrinciottiHost10:53

I can only imagine that that reveal felt as it did for you when you rounded the corner in the exhibit and got to the point where-

Jodie WalkerHost11:03

Where did you think it may have happened?

Nora PrinciottiHost11:05

I don't really know, but the [laughs] Empire State B- like, I didn't have a concept of where this was taking place.

Jodie WalkerHost11:09

You consider the Empire State Building to be morally bankrupt [laughs] spiritually.

Nora PrinciottiHost11:12

But you, but you shared with me, I saw a psychic this weekend.

Jodie WalkerHost11:14

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost11:14

And you shared the link.

Nora PrinciottiHost11:16

And when I clicked on the link and it goes Psychic of Empire State Building.

Nora PrinciottiHost11:22

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost11:22

Well, but on Google Maps I believe she's billed as Em- as Psychic of Manhattan, which so then I briefly was like, did we get duped?

Nora PrinciottiHost11:29

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost11:29

Did, like, a psychic come out in the hallway and was like, "I'm right here."

Nora PrinciottiHost11:33

But it's like-

Jodie WalkerHost11:33

But really we needed to go, like, downtown a little further.

Nora PrinciottiHost11:35

It's a prank that those two people who do the social media for the Empire State Building are running.

Jodie WalkerHost11:39

It's a prank I'm taking because-

Nora PrinciottiHost11:41

So they get people through the door

Jodie WalkerHost11:42

...

Jodie WalkerHost11:42

this is the start of me being less spiritually bankrupt-

Nora PrinciottiHost11:46

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost11:46

... with seeing this psychic who told me that I am.

Nora PrinciottiHost11:49

I just think, no, I can only imagine that she's doing your reading and she has the cards out just for show.

Nora PrinciottiHost11:53

Um, but you're on the top of the Empire State Building.

Jodie WalkerHost11:56

Yeah, that's right.

Nora PrinciottiHost11:56

Like those people who got engaged up there.

Nora PrinciottiHost11:58

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost11:58

That is where I was, yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost11:59

That was the psychic.

Jodie WalkerHost12:00

It was, uh, very windy, really hard to keep those tarot cards in line.

Nora PrinciottiHost12:03

You unfurl a banner that says love wins.

Nora PrinciottiHost12:05

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost12:07

I would never do that.

Jodie WalkerHost12:08

I'm not spiritual.

Jodie WalkerHost12:09

[laughs] We're going.

Nora PrinciottiHost12:11

We're bringing it up.

Jodie WalkerHost12:12

We're moving up.

Jodie WalkerHost12:12

If anybody has any tips on how to fill my spiritual coffers a little more in ways that I will do, please, please let me know.

Jodie WalkerHost12:20

I'm open to Reiki.

Nora PrinciottiHost12:21

Reiki.Okay, I believe that you also had another experience that I would assume to have been spiritual.

Meg Stalter Broadway Drama & Hair-Clip Discourse12:27 – 17:34

Jodie WalkerHost12:27

I did see Meg Stalter in Oh, Mary! on Broadway, which was spiritual for two reasons.

Jodie WalkerHost12:34

One, because the play is so good.

Jodie WalkerHost12:37

She was so good in it, like a really excellent Mary, um, even with bronchitis, which she publicly and dramatically has.

Jodie WalkerHost12:48

So it was great just in the way of, like, seeing a great show and having a great time, but also it happened amidst this Reddit drama [laughs].

Nora PrinciottiHost12:56

Which is one of my favorite things for having some-

Jodie WalkerHost12:57

Niche Broadway drama is incredible

Nora PrinciottiHost12:59

... something to happen in the midst of.

Nora PrinciottiHost13:00

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost13:00

It was happening on the Broadway subreddit that people were j'accusing her of skipping out on, um, certain perform- uh, she's missed a few performances-

Nora PrinciottiHost13:11

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost13:11

... because she has been ill-

Nora PrinciottiHost13:13

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost13:13

... for multiple days in a row.

Nora PrinciottiHost13:14

With bronchitis.

Jodie WalkerHost13:15

Which famously is sometimes how illness works.

Jodie WalkerHost13:18

And people were saying that at least one of those shows she missed, um, because she was at the Comedy Cellar.

Nora PrinciottiHost13:25

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost13:26

And actually, I went to the Comedy Cellar yesterday.

Jodie WalkerHost13:29

I'm moving in these circles.

Jodie WalkerHost13:30

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost13:30

Jody, your New York era, like, it's so good.

Jodie WalkerHost13:33

It's, I gotta-

Nora PrinciottiHost13:34

It promises and it's so good

Jodie WalkerHost13:35

...

Jodie WalkerHost13:35

I gotta settle down.

Jodie WalkerHost13:36

I gotta sit down.

Jodie WalkerHost13:37

Um-

Nora PrinciottiHost13:37

No, never settle.

Jodie WalkerHost13:38

She, so, like, she, and then she, uh, publicly addressed it on her Instagram and was like, uh, that she was sad to miss the show, and then she said, "There's a whole thread on Reddit I guess about how people think I was at the Comedy Cellar, and I'd just like to go on record saying I was not at the Comedy Cellar."

Nora PrinciottiHost13:56

At the end, she posts, like, a few of the Reddit posts.

Jodie WalkerHost14:00

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost14:00

And it devolves-

Jodie WalkerHost14:01

A carousel

Nora PrinciottiHost14:01

... into this conversation about who the type of comedian who does the Comedy Cellar [laughs] is.

Jodie WalkerHost14:07

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost14:07

And it's just the most r/Broadway thing in the entire world, where all of a sudden they're, they're having this argument about, like, is the Comedy Cellar a space that caters to a particular genre of comedian, and if so, is Meg Stalter someone who belongs in that genre?

Jodie WalkerHost14:24

Right.

Nora PrinciottiHost14:24

Or is Meg Stalter perhaps as, you know, like, is, d- is her sensibility a little bit too left of center somehow for the Comedy Cellar? Is the Comedy Cellar for basic...

Nora PrinciottiHost14:34

Like, it's just [laughs] amazing.

Jodie WalkerHost14:36

Well, there's this thing that happens on Reddit where you're like, you're in your comfort zone.

Jodie WalkerHost14:40

You're in your expert space.

Jodie WalkerHost14:41

You're on backslash Broadway, and then suddenly people start talking about the Comedy Cellar, and you're like, "I'm still acting like an expert.

Jodie WalkerHost14:48

I'm still an expert.

Jodie WalkerHost14:49

I know what kind of comedians are at the Comedy Cellar." [laughs] And apparently it's Meg Stalter, but the, the accusation was that she was seeing a show at the Co- like-

Nora PrinciottiHost14:58

Right, yeah, not that she was performing.

Jodie WalkerHost15:00

But then it was, it was getting all mex- mixed up, and I would like to say that she was at the Saturday showing of Oh, Mary! hoarse as hell.

Jodie WalkerHost15:09

I mean, she really, she was really pushing through it, and I thought it added something to the space.

Nora PrinciottiHost15:15

So the other post that she put on Instagram was of her either at, at that show, I think, um, and she's wearing a tank top, and around her neck is, um, like a piece of paper with a sign, and it says, "The princess is on vocal rest," but she was never at the Comedy Cellar.

Nora PrinciottiHost15:34

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost15:34

She was not at the Comedy Cellar.

Jodie WalkerHost15:35

If you heard she was at the Comedy Cellar, it was a lie.

Nora PrinciottiHost15:37

It was a lie.

Jodie WalkerHost15:38

A Reddit lie.

Nora PrinciottiHost15:39

[laughs] But then the best part to me is that one of the top comments, at least that I see, um, is someone asking a question that I too had when I regarded the sign, which is, "No shade.

Nora PrinciottiHost15:50

How did the sign turn out like that?"

Jodie WalkerHost15:51

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost15:51

Because this is some crazy handwriting.

Nora PrinciottiHost15:54

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost15:55

It honestly looks like the Es are written backwards like she's four.

Nora PrinciottiHost15:59

Like, does her pen have bronchitis?

Jodie WalkerHost16:01

It does, because she's using different fonts, which is, like, not really something I've ever seen a, a, one individual person do.

Nora PrinciottiHost16:07

It's really funny.

Jodie WalkerHost16:08

I mean, that's pretty Meg Stalter-esque, though, and I, I've received, I would say, a good bit of private support in my DMs for, from people who also feel that others are doing too much with hair clips, including myself, actually.

Jodie WalkerHost16:20

It's not others.

Jodie WalkerHost16:21

I'm doing too much with hair clips.

Jodie WalkerHost16:23

She is wearing a ponytail holder in this situation that's doing normally what doing too much with a hair clip does.

Nora PrinciottiHost16:31

Okay, now I feel like I understand this better.

Nora PrinciottiHost16:34

I, as you say that, I was, like, itching to tell you that I, I am considering investing in a fifth hair clip.

Nora PrinciottiHost16:39

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost16:42

Were you inspired by the worth the money introspective question this week?

Nora PrinciottiHost16:47

I, I, I want navy blue.

Jodie WalkerHost16:50

Nora, you're out of control.

Jodie WalkerHost16:52

You're too dangerous.

Jodie WalkerHost16:53

A navy, a fifth hair c- clip in a crazy color?

Nora PrinciottiHost16:57

A fifth hair clip.

Jodie WalkerHost16:57

A navy blue?

Nora PrinciottiHost16:57

But one of them is, one of them is a vacation hair clip, so it only half counts.

Jodie WalkerHost17:03

We're gonna have to talk about this offline.

Jodie WalkerHost17:04

You're spiritually bankrupt.

Nora PrinciottiHost17:06

Okay, we will-

Jodie WalkerHost17:06

A fifth hair clip?

Nora PrinciottiHost17:07

We'll, we'll table that and laundry.

Jodie WalkerHost17:09

Nora, you're out of control.

Jodie WalkerHost17:10

Um, yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost17:11

Get well soon to, to Meg Stalter.

Jodie WalkerHost17:14

[laughs] Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost17:14

Uh, very excited for the Stalter administration to have begun.

Jodie WalkerHost17:17

Get well soon and get out of the Comedy Cellar, 'cause I heard you were there.

Nora PrinciottiHost17:21

That's what I heard.

Jodie WalkerHost17:22

No. [laughs] That's it.

Jodie WalkerHost17:24

Those are my weekend updates.

Jodie WalkerHost17:26

I saw Kaia Gerber at Oh, Mary! [laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost17:27

You're having fun.

Jodie WalkerHost17:28

That's it.

Jodie WalkerHost17:28

Now that's it.

Nora PrinciottiHost17:29

Okay, cool.

Nora PrinciottiHost17:30

[laughs] But not at the Comedy Cellar.

Jodie WalkerHost17:32

But not at the Comedy Cellar.

‘Poop Parasite’ Lettuce Outbreak Update17:34 – 22:54

Jodie WalkerHost17:34

Um, Nora, I slightly feel that it is our civic duty to do some, uh, poop parasite updates.

Jodie WalkerHost17:45

I was calling this poop parasite still pooping.

Jodie WalkerHost17:48

[laughs] Um, you said, "I think we've, I think we've done it all.

Jodie WalkerHost17:52

I think we've run the gamut.

Jodie WalkerHost17:54

No more updates."

Nora PrinciottiHost17:55

[laughs] But you, you've argued in the name of journalism that we need to tell the people what's going on.

Jodie WalkerHost18:01

Well, I don't think it could be understated that I am staying in a communist apartment right now.

Nora PrinciottiHost18:05

Yep.

Jodie WalkerHost18:05

And so it is possible that that is playing into my ultimate feeling about the current cyclospora updates, that it's ultimately kind of a Taco Bell psyop.

Jodie WalkerHost18:14

Um, that, you know, big lettuce is trying to blame everything on Taco Bell when, w- like, what's, what's left of our government has traced this back to this Taylor Farms- The iceberg lettuce coming out of Taylor Farms' Mexican production

Nora PrinciottiHost18:34

Probably.

Nora PrinciottiHost18:34

Probably.

Jodie WalkerHost18:35

It str- they strongly...

Jodie WalkerHost18:37

The identifying mechanisms have strongly led-

Nora PrinciottiHost18:40

Yes

Jodie WalkerHost18:40

... back to that.

Nora PrinciottiHost18:41

And then they announced that they had a positive test, and then the test was a false positive, but that doesn't mean that all of the other pieces of the puzzle and information that was pointing them towards Taylor Farms lettuce-

Jodie WalkerHost18:57

It was also a false positive of lettuce that was not officially in part of Taylor Farms' voluntary recall.

Nora PrinciottiHost19:06

Right.

Jodie WalkerHost19:06

Um, what I ultimately found funniest about this is that Taylor Farms [laughs] came out pretty indignantly with a, with a PR statement and said, "Today, FDA apologized to us."

Nora PrinciottiHost19:23

[laughs] They said sorry.

Jodie WalkerHost19:25

They said they were so sorry, and that if we were at the Comedy Cellar, no we weren't.

Jodie WalkerHost19:30

[laughs] Taylor Farms was not at the Comedy Cellar.

Nora PrinciottiHost19:33

But then the FDA said that they didn't apologize.

Jodie WalkerHost19:35

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost19:35

That they merely updated Taylor Farms to reflect the latest information that that particular bit of lettuce had been a false positive, but that they were still a suspect.

Jodie WalkerHost19:48

Right.

Jodie WalkerHost19:49

[laughs] And that-

Nora PrinciottiHost19:50

And they didn't say sorry.

Nora PrinciottiHost19:51

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost19:51

The work that the FDA does in terms of tracing still points to where it points despite that false positive, and they didn't say sorry, and they're not sorry.

Nora PrinciottiHost20:02

Wait, so why do you think this is a Taco Bell psyop?

Jodie WalkerHost20:05

Oh, because le- like, all of the leading, um, headlines coming out of this once the tracing starts going back to Taylor Farms are like, okay, the headline, The Washington Post headline that came out, uh, as usual, minutes after we finished-

Nora PrinciottiHost20:22

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost20:22

... recording was, "Exclusive: Investigators have linked shredded iceberg lettuce supplied to Taco Bell restaurants by Taylor Farms as a potential source of contamination in the outbreak of parasitic illness that has sickened thousands in the United States." Um, that's true.

Nora PrinciottiHost20:37

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost20:38

That's not untrue.

Jodie WalkerHost20:39

But Taylor Farms provides so much lettuce to-

Nora PrinciottiHost20:43

So, so you're-

Jodie WalkerHost20:43

...

Jodie WalkerHost20:43

so many places

Nora PrinciottiHost20:44

... you are taking issue with the centering of Taco Bell in-

Jodie WalkerHost20:49

I think that somebody's looking for a scapegoat, and Taco Bell, as a famous giver of diarrhea-

Nora PrinciottiHost20:56

[laughs] Someone thinks too many people have been livin' mas

Jodie WalkerHost20:58

... is a pretty easy scapegoat.

Jodie WalkerHost21:00

And I'm trying to viva mas, and maybe right now is the best time to eat Taco Bell.

Nora PrinciottiHost21:07

[laughs] Well, they say the safest time to fly was September 12th, 2001.

Jodie WalkerHost21:11

Exactly.

Jodie WalkerHost21:12

And, um, Taylor Farms goes to Walmart, it goes to Trader Joe's.

Jodie WalkerHost21:17

Don't eat bagged-

Nora PrinciottiHost21:19

Don't eat bagged lettuce

Jodie WalkerHost21:20

... iceberg lettuce right now.

Nora PrinciottiHost21:20

Don't eat bagged iceberg lettuce.

Jodie WalkerHost21:22

And don't eat chop- don't eat bagged chopped up lettuce.

Jodie WalkerHost21:24

Chop your own lettuce.

Jodie WalkerHost21:25

Grow your own romaine.

Jodie WalkerHost21:26

Invest in Nora's-

Nora PrinciottiHost21:27

Yes

Jodie WalkerHost21:27

... grilled Caesar campaign.

Nora PrinciottiHost21:29

Come to my house.

Jodie WalkerHost21:29

If you have any extra money.

Nora PrinciottiHost21:31

158 degrees.

Jodie WalkerHost21:32

I'm just keeping my eye on it.

Jodie WalkerHost21:34

Um-

Nora PrinciottiHost21:34

It's not coming from a bag.

Jodie WalkerHost21:35

The, and the knobby berries are fine.

Nora PrinciottiHost21:38

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost21:38

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost21:38

I think to me-

Nora PrinciottiHost21:39

Unfortunately

Jodie WalkerHost21:39

... that was a huge relief

Nora PrinciottiHost21:40

...

Nora PrinciottiHost21:40

the berries were marked safe, um, within hours of, uh, my in-laws receiving in the mail some device they ordered that is supposed to clean knobby berries very well.

Jodie WalkerHost21:54

They did it as a resu- they got that device as a result of cyclospora?

Nora PrinciottiHost21:58

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost21:59

Wow.

Nora PrinciottiHost21:59

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost22:00

What's the device?

Nora PrinciottiHost22:01

It's w- I haven't fully investigated it.

Nora PrinciottiHost22:03

It's smaller than you would think.

Jodie WalkerHost22:05

Well, berries are pretty small.

Nora PrinciottiHost22:07

Yeah, but I d- I...

Nora PrinciottiHost22:08

Is it one berry at a time? [laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost22:10

If you're as careful as I, as y- if you're as careful as me and your in-laws are, Nora, yes.

Jodie WalkerHost22:15

We're taking them one-

Nora PrinciottiHost22:16

Okay, I'll-

Jodie WalkerHost22:16

... raspberry at a time.

Nora PrinciottiHost22:17

I'll get into it.

Jodie WalkerHost22:18

I was-

Nora PrinciottiHost22:18

To be honest, I ate raspberries this morning that I just kinda rinsed.

Nora PrinciottiHost22:22

But I, again, I think we're on the lettuce.

Jodie WalkerHost22:24

I, I...

Jodie WalkerHost22:24

We're on the lettuce.

Jodie WalkerHost22:25

Raspberries are so delicate.

Jodie WalkerHost22:27

I find it very difficult to wanna wash them, and yet I know they're one of the ones I really need to wash.

Nora PrinciottiHost22:31

I love raspberries.

Jodie WalkerHost22:32

Me too.

Jodie WalkerHost22:33

Um, n- and that's all just fodder because there's honestly only one thing happening [laughs] in pop culture this week.

Jodie WalkerHost22:41

It's not the World Cup, although we've got a couple of sporting updates to follow.

Jodie WalkerHost22:46

But the main update vis-a-vis this podcast in pop culture is that there's another crazy, freaky little animal in town.

Jimothy the Short-Spined Raccoon Goes Viral22:54 – 33:03

Jodie WalkerHost22:54

There's another raccoon in town, and these two things are overlapping.

Jodie WalkerHost22:58

A star was born in Seattle.

Jodie WalkerHost23:00

His name is Jimothy.

Jodie WalkerHost23:02

Uh, thus named just by, like, the random gal, uh, w- who, thank you for your service, um, filmed him.

Jodie WalkerHost23:09

But, like, we all permanently call this little guy Jimothy.

Nora PrinciottiHost23:12

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost23:13

That is his name.

Nora PrinciottiHost23:14

Are we sure he's a boy?

Jodie WalkerHost23:15

No, I'm not sure.

Nora PrinciottiHost23:19

I-

Jodie WalkerHost23:19

Has someone gotten under the hood?

Nora PrinciottiHost23:21

I'm not sure they have.

Nora PrinciottiHost23:21

We don't know that he...

Nora PrinciottiHost23:23

He could be Jimitha.

Jodie WalkerHost23:24

That's true.

Nora PrinciottiHost23:26

But he'll be Jimothy today.

Jodie WalkerHost23:27

He's Jimothy for now.

Nora PrinciottiHost23:28

Gender is a construct.

Nora PrinciottiHost23:29

I hope he understands.

Jodie WalkerHost23:30

We could go they/them.

Jodie WalkerHost23:32

Um, Jimothy is a raccoon in Seattle.

Jodie WalkerHost23:37

I can't believe how much raccoons have become our beat.

Jodie WalkerHost23:40

Um, who has r- a rare short s- he has short spine syndrome, which is a rare syndrome that affects, anecdotally in my observances, raccoons and dogs.

Nora PrinciottiHost23:53

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost23:55

There are several other do- there are dogs who are known to have this.

Nora PrinciottiHost23:59

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost23:59

There's one kind of famous dog.

Jodie WalkerHost24:00

What is his name?

Nora PrinciottiHost24:01

Oh, I don't know him.

Jodie WalkerHost24:02

Oh, I als- and I actually am not t- I'm not sure about that gender either.

Nora PrinciottiHost24:07

I think that we're okay with Jimothy because, um, though I do consider this a genderless statement, what he is is just a little guy.

Jodie WalkerHost24:15

Yeah, he's just a little...

Jodie WalkerHost24:17

Well, he's just a little freaky guy, and-

Nora PrinciottiHost24:19

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost24:19

... we love him.

Jodie WalkerHost24:20

So he was minding his own business in Seattle, and, uh, Keanna Hall was out, as the S- I believe The Seattle Times put it, um, just roaming around Goodwill.

Nora PrinciottiHost24:32

Goodwill.Sure.

Jodie WalkerHost24:34

She was just taking a stroll near Goodwill, and she saw what she thought was a cat under a car.

Jodie WalkerHost24:40

She filmed it for five seconds, and as she did, and it came out from that car and up a set of steps in a very viral video you have probably now seen, she discovered that's not a cat, that's a sort of half raccoon.

Jodie WalkerHost24:52

And she's like, "Oh, what is that?" Um, and so she put it on her social media, and, uh, yeah, a star was born.

Nora PrinciottiHost25:04

Well, and there was a minute when this story felt like, is this kind of a, a lumpy miniature Bigfoot situation we have on our hands? Like, is this an unidentifiable creature who's roaming the streets of Seattle who we're all interested in, but we don't really know what his deal is? And then, you know, not long after, people start seeing Jimothy around a little bit more.

Nora PrinciottiHost25:30

Um, it turns out that some people had actually seen him as a little bebe, and had footage of this.

Nora PrinciottiHost25:37

And so we understand that he is a raccoon.

Nora PrinciottiHost25:38

He has a raccoon family who's very loving and wonderful towards him.

Jodie WalkerHost25:42

Which is a relief after Punch, you know?

Nora PrinciottiHost25:45

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost25:45

That was a hard time to get through.

Jodie WalkerHost25:47

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost25:47

I have mentally abandoned Punch.

Jodie WalkerHost25:49

I have no idea how he's doing.

Nora PrinciottiHost25:52

Again, spiritually bankrupt.

Nora PrinciottiHost25:55

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost25:56

I-

Nora PrinciottiHost25:56

Punch took a turn.

Jodie WalkerHost25:57

Uh, Punch, Punch can handle himself.

Nora PrinciottiHost25:59

Unfortunately, there was, like, a, there was-

Jodie WalkerHost26:01

Punch can handle himself

Nora PrinciottiHost26:01

...

Nora PrinciottiHost26:01

there was a kernel of darkness within Punch that I think everyone t- was trying to figure out.

Jodie WalkerHost26:06

And this is, this is where I say-

Nora PrinciottiHost26:08

No such with Jimothy

Jodie WalkerHost26:08

... that we are searching, we are searching and seeking little uplifting moments, little ways to get out of hell.

Jodie WalkerHost26:15

Not to heaven, just maybe kinda regular.

Nora PrinciottiHost26:17

Just, just, just equilibrium

Jodie WalkerHost26:18

... just somewhere in the middle.

Jodie WalkerHost26:20

Um, because I would say anglerfish-like, people have really latched on to, uh, Jimothy and what they represent, um, in terms of just kinda like making it.

Nora PrinciottiHost26:35

[laughs] I read an interview with Madonna recently where she said that she loves anglerfish, and she was like, "Have you heard about this? They live, like, all the way at the bottom of the ocean, and they make their own light.

Nora PrinciottiHost26:47

And like, I so relate to this," and like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Nora PrinciottiHost26:50

And all I can think about now is does she know about the gassy anglerfish who died?

Jodie WalkerHost26:54

Wait, but this also...

Jodie WalkerHost26:56

Was that in, um, the...

Jodie WalkerHost26:58

Am I mixing up who said this?

Nora PrinciottiHost27:00

It, well, it's in the sh- uh, Five Star Weekend.

Jodie WalkerHost27:04

Oh, that's where it happened.

Jodie WalkerHost27:06

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost27:06

Oh, no. [laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost27:07

Nora, did you-

Nora PrinciottiHost27:07

Not in Madonna's Interview magazine interview

Jodie WalkerHost27:09

... did you do a classic I got Jennifer Garner and Madonna mixed up? [laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost27:14

No. No. It's-

Jodie WalkerHost27:15

You just knew you knew the anecdote

Nora PrinciottiHost27:17

... could it be possible that she also said that somehow?

Jodie WalkerHost27:20

I mean, I would like-

Nora PrinciottiHost27:21

I'll look into this

Jodie WalkerHost27:22

...

Jodie WalkerHost27:22

I would like a, I would like a fact check because I believe that in Five Star Weekend when she's being kind of maybe when she's being called adorable, she's like, "No, the animal I relate to most is the anglerfish." And then they look up the photo.

Jodie WalkerHost27:36

Is that...

Jodie WalkerHost27:37

Oh, boy.

Nora PrinciottiHost27:39

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost27:39

Oh, but maybe it starts to harm his character

Nora PrinciottiHost27:40

...

Nora PrinciottiHost27:40

I think I'm really, I think I'm doing a, I think I'm getting incepted by, um, Peacock original programming.

Jodie WalkerHost27:47

Well, that happens.

Nora PrinciottiHost27:48

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost27:48

It's one of our best and worst platforms.

Nora PrinciottiHost27:50

Okay [laughs] so that wasn't Madonna I don't think.

Nora PrinciottiHost27:53

[laughs] Do you see Madonna like that? Is that what's happening?

Jodie WalkerHost27:57

No.

Nora PrinciottiHost27:57

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost27:57

I was like, this is in my head.

Jodie WalkerHost27:59

I was like, this is a weird way for Mado- donna to self-identify.

Nora PrinciottiHost28:01

Yeah, 'cause she's not exactly, like, lurking under the surface-

Jodie WalkerHost28:03

Lurking beneath the surface

Nora PrinciottiHost28:04

... making her own light.

Jodie WalkerHost28:05

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost28:06

She is really out there on the world stage making her light.

Jodie WalkerHost28:12

But for this little guy, this little, this little Jimothy guy, um, I saw someone-

Nora PrinciottiHost28:19

I'm sorry, now, now where my head is is, like, what else do I assign to Madonna that just simply does not apply?

Jodie WalkerHost28:25

I am questioning everything you've ever told me.

Nora PrinciottiHost28:27

No, same.

Nora PrinciottiHost28:28

Ab-

Jodie WalkerHost28:28

But I'm just gonna have to-

Nora PrinciottiHost28:29

And, and believe me, as you should

Jodie WalkerHost28:31

... [laughs] I'm gonna have to write that down, just be noodling on it.

Nora PrinciottiHost28:34

In my household, we call that misusing your confident voice.

Jodie WalkerHost28:37

Oh.

Jodie WalkerHost28:40

That's tough feedback to receive from me sometimes.

Nora PrinciottiHost28:43

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost28:44

It is feedback I give.

Nora PrinciottiHost28:46

Yep.

Jodie WalkerHost28:47

Um, I, I don't, I don't love...

Jodie WalkerHost28:50

Ac- that's not true.

Jodie WalkerHost28:51

I love when you do it to me.

Jodie WalkerHost28:53

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost28:53

And I believe you immediately.

Jodie WalkerHost28:54

I'll do it again.

Jodie WalkerHost28:55

[laughs] Um, th- there is, like, all of the footage of him is very, it feels like found footage.

Jodie WalkerHost29:02

It's sort of, like, mythical creature-like.

Jodie WalkerHost29:05

So then just the discovery that actually he's just a raccoon who looks wild and has this short little back half.

Jodie WalkerHost29:12

He's not even a year old.

Nora PrinciottiHost29:14

I know.

Jodie WalkerHost29:14

I thought from the way that videos started coming out, that he was kind of like a local Seattle legend.

Jodie WalkerHost29:20

Like, we have, i- in my area of western North Carolina, we have white squirrels, and they're kind of like little, little legends.

Nora PrinciottiHost29:28

Wow.

Jodie WalkerHost29:28

And it is always, like, very magical when you see them.

Nora PrinciottiHost29:31

You know that I have a whole thing with a black squirrel, right?

Jodie WalkerHost29:34

Uh, an enemy?

Nora PrinciottiHost29:35

No.

Nora PrinciottiHost29:36

No, a friend.

Jodie WalkerHost29:38

I'm sorry.

Jodie WalkerHost29:38

I'm realizing that I didn't send you a text to let you know that the, um, the pigeon woman from Home Alone passed away, and I did, I wanted to get your takes on that.

Nora PrinciottiHost29:46

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost29:46

'Cause I just wondered if that would inspire any strange feelings in you given your thoughts on pigeons, but what's your deal with this black squirrel?

Nora PrinciottiHost29:52

Um, so when I started living in Connecticut, when we started doing-

Jodie WalkerHost30:00

Hmm

Nora PrinciottiHost30:00

...

Nora PrinciottiHost30:00

this apartment project, um, I, like, had a bit with my husband about how I was, like, losing my mind in the suburbs and had begun to, like, talk to squirrels.

Jodie WalkerHost30:10

Mm-hmm.

Nora PrinciottiHost30:10

And there's this little all-black squirrel who, like, hangs out in the same area of the yard, and I named him Pistachio.

Jodie WalkerHost30:19

Oh, yes.

Jodie WalkerHost30:20

You have told me about Pistachio.

Nora PrinciottiHost30:22

And now, like, it started as a joke about how I was losing my mind, but now I just feel, like, a deep kinship with this squirrel, and I see him all the time, and I'm always so happy to see him, and I'll pull into the driveway and I'll go, "Ah, my boy."

Jodie WalkerHost30:34

[laughs] We gotta get you out of Connecticut You're like Disney princess-ing out there in the crazy way.

Nora PrinciottiHost30:40

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost30:40

Like in the, in the way that Amy Adams does when she comes to the real world.

Nora PrinciottiHost30:44

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost30:44

You're talking, you're talking to squirrels.

Jodie WalkerHost30:47

Um, it turns out that like this guy's fine.

Jodie WalkerHost30:50

Yes, he has, he's got a little spine.

Jodie WalkerHost30:53

Um, but with the support of his family, as you noted, um, and a loving community, unlike Punch, everyone is not so lucky, he's doing great.

Nora PrinciottiHost31:00

Well, and like he can, he can scavenge, and he can scurry around, which ultimately is all that a raccoon needs to do.

Jodie WalkerHost31:09

Um, yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost31:10

In, in the Seattle Times [laughs] they interviewed a, a professor from Washington State University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital, and I really enjoyed her saying, um, that she, she couldn't diagnose Jimothy based on just, uh, videos of him.

Jodie WalkerHost31:27

And but she described him as kind of a crazy little thing.

Nora PrinciottiHost31:31

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost31:32

She was able to say that with a certain amount of scholarship.

Jodie WalkerHost31:37

Um, and then-

Nora PrinciottiHost31:38

Medically speaking [laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost31:39

... that he's just kind of a crazy little thing, and that he was likely born this year, but that he's very spry and so that's like a good sign for Jimothy's, uh, survival.

Jodie WalkerHost31:51

Because that he's made it to this age, uh, says that he's good at adapting.

Jodie WalkerHost31:55

Which is kind of raccoons whole deal.

Nora PrinciottiHost31:57

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost31:59

Is that why they're always coming up for us? Raccoons?

Jodie WalkerHost32:04

Like we like their resilience?

Nora PrinciottiHost32:05

I don't know.

Nora PrinciottiHost32:06

I just feel like we talk about them.

Nora PrinciottiHost32:08

[laughs] They come up pop culturally a lot.

Jodie WalkerHost32:10

Well, like the advent of the internet-

Nora PrinciottiHost32:12

Mm-hmm

Jodie WalkerHost32:12

... and the, like the modern social internet I do feel has been transformative for the place of the raccoon.

Nora PrinciottiHost32:21

Elaborate.

Nora PrinciottiHost32:22

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost32:22

Because I think raccoons historically have been thought of as something akin to a pest.

Nora PrinciottiHost32:27

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost32:28

And I think now all the girlies online are like, "This is one of the cutest animals I've ever seen."

Nora PrinciottiHost32:34

Yeah, because if this little guy had existed, and I'm sure he did, like in the olden times when you couldn't take photos, uh, he would exist by legend of being a little gremlin.

Jodie WalkerHost32:45

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost32:45

But now because we can take photos and we know that raccoons have those little hands.

Jodie WalkerHost32:50

[imitates raccoon]

Nora PrinciottiHost32:51

We know that they're cute, and they're fine.

Jodie WalkerHost32:52

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost32:52

They will steal your trash.

Nora PrinciottiHost32:54

Watch out.

Jodie WalkerHost32:54

They'll steal, yeah, they'll, they'll steal.

Nora PrinciottiHost32:55

They're still gonna do what they do, but-

Jodie WalkerHost32:56

But it's also, it's, it's kind of a little mischief.

Nora PrinciottiHost32:58

Yeah, they cohabitate just fine.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:00

We like a little mischief.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:02

Love you, Jimothy.

Women’s World Cup Final & Kid Cameos33:03 – 35:14

Jodie WalkerHost33:03

I guess worth noting is, uh, that the World Cup, mm, concluded this Sunday.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:10

[laughs] I was like, how do we, how do we call this? Finalized?

Jodie WalkerHost33:15

Yes, they finalized-

Nora PrinciottiHost33:15

The sport's ended.

Jodie WalkerHost33:16

They finalized the World Cup.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:17

The sport, the World Cup was finalized by Spain, uh, beating Argentina.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:24

I'm gonna let you give the sporting updates.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:25

Any sporting updates.

Jodie WalkerHost33:26

Um-

Nora PrinciottiHost33:26

Anything you loved from the World Cup.

Jodie WalkerHost33:28

Look, not a game for the ages.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:30

Mm-hmm.

Jodie WalkerHost33:31

But exciting nonetheless.

Jodie WalkerHost33:35

And I had a great time with the World Cup.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:37

Oh, yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:38

It was a good time.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:39

It was a little treat.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:40

It was a big treat.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:40

It was a reprieve from fire, air, and diarrhea lettuce.

Jodie WalkerHost33:45

Yeah, yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:46

Um, it was very nice to immerse ourself in other cultures, to have so many other cultures be here and mostly be nice to us.

Nora PrinciottiHost33:54

Um, I took two stories from the World Cup finale? What's it called?

Jodie WalkerHost34:00

[laughs] You can just call it the final.

Nora PrinciottiHost34:04

But the finale is fun.

Nora PrinciottiHost34:05

I like it.

Jodie WalkerHost34:05

It's a little more fun.

Nora PrinciottiHost34:07

So I think that's fine.

Jodie WalkerHost34:07

From the World Cup finale, which are one that Lamine Yamal's little brother, Khelam Yamal, is ...

Jodie WalkerHost34:14

I want him to stay in my life.

Nora PrinciottiHost34:16

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost34:16

I can take or leave the soccer.

Nora PrinciottiHost34:17

Well, you know what I feel they need to, like I, I understand that maybe let's give Messi a day or two to, to heal.

Nora PrinciottiHost34:26

I think he's gonna be fine.

Nora PrinciottiHost34:27

But I do need Messi to dunk that kid in-

Jodie WalkerHost34:32

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost34:32

... a basin of soapy water.

Jodie WalkerHost34:35

I need him to...

Jodie WalkerHost34:35

No, no, the, that little one is three, so he's bigger.

Jodie WalkerHost34:39

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost34:39

A little.

Jodie WalkerHost34:39

A little wildly.

Nora PrinciottiHost34:40

But he's still got the cheeks.

Jodie WalkerHost34:41

He's so cute.

Jodie WalkerHost34:42

When he was in the, I wanna say audience.

Jodie WalkerHost34:45

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost34:46

[laughs] He's, yeah, he's in the stands.

Nora PrinciottiHost34:47

He's in the audience.

Jodie WalkerHost34:48

He's in the stands, um, wearing a Paw Patrol hat that he later switched to a Spain hat.

Nora PrinciottiHost34:54

Spain jersey, Paw Patrol hat.

Jodie WalkerHost34:55

He's like, Paw Patrol for good luck to have a good time, and then Spain when we're running onto the field, uh, winning over everyone's affection.

Jodie WalkerHost35:05

That was a really good time for me, which was good because then I was immersed into a very bad time.

Jodie WalkerHost35:11

Which I just need your expertise on.

Tom Brady’s Mid-Life Rebrand & WWE Feud35:14 – 51:58

Jodie WalkerHost35:14

I need to understand what's happening with Tom Brady, and there's probably a compilation that we could make of me saying that exact sentence-

Nora PrinciottiHost35:23

Hm.

Nora PrinciottiHost35:23

Right

Jodie WalkerHost35:23

... several times over the last year.

Nora PrinciottiHost35:25

Right.

Jodie WalkerHost35:25

But I think that things are reaching a precipice.

Nora PrinciottiHost35:29

Okay.

Nora PrinciottiHost35:30

So yeah, um, would you like to know specifically what is going on with Tom Brady, and Logan Paul, and WWE? Or would you like to know i- in a more 3,000 foot view sense what is going on with Tom Brady? Which is that he is having an extended midlife crisis before our, our eyes, and has been for some time.

Jodie WalkerHost35:54

I would like the factual, the spiritual, and the psychological diagnosis that we are not, um, at liberty to give.

Jodie WalkerHost36:00

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost36:00

Okay.

Nora PrinciottiHost36:01

Let's, let's work backwards-

Jodie WalkerHost36:02

Okay

Nora PrinciottiHost36:03

... then.

Nora PrinciottiHost36:03

So I think like the broad context is that Tom Brady is someone for who the majority of his life had two outlets to give him incred- This is of course just my armchair psychology and, and assumptions.

Nora PrinciottiHost36:22

Um-

Jodie WalkerHost36:22

But what we are dealing with here, what I, like we're...

Jodie WalkerHost36:26

As you explain this to me, I am ex- experiencing something when I experience Tom Brady that is such an immense amount of secondhand embarrassment-

Nora PrinciottiHost36:35

Yes

Jodie WalkerHost36:36

... that like I need to be able to sort of work through it with a comb as you were doing after, at the World Cup-

Nora PrinciottiHost36:43

Cup-Whoa, hold on, hold on, hold on

Jodie WalkerHost36:45

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost36:46

We're starting before that

Nora PrinciottiHost36:47

For most of this man's life, he's had two sources of crystal clear purpose.

Nora PrinciottiHost36:54

One is being part of a team, being, being a central figure on a sports team that had obvious clear goals m- many of which were accomplished by him.

Nora PrinciottiHost37:07

And two, he had, you know, he had a growing family and he had just sort of like this context.

Nora PrinciottiHost37:11

Um, Tom Brady is now retired and divorced, and I think that that's kind of giving him... thrown him for a loop a little bit, and he's trying to figure out what he's supposed to do.

Nora PrinciottiHost37:23

So he, you know, he's broadcasting, which is actually going okay.

Nora PrinciottiHost37:27

He's a minority owner, owner of the Raiders, which is a conflict of interest with his broadcasting job, but that's been allowed to continue, and sure, fine, whatever.

Nora PrinciottiHost37:36

Um, and then beyond that, he's, like, invested in 19 different crypto energy playing card fanatics.

Jodie WalkerHost37:47

That's right.

Jodie WalkerHost37:47

I, I walked past a store, a, a flagship store this weekend that had his name stamped on it.

Nora PrinciottiHost37:55

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost37:55

Card Vault by Tom Brady.

Nora PrinciottiHost37:56

Oh yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost37:57

Were you, um, kind of near the Barclays Center?

Jodie WalkerHost38:00

Um, no.

Jodie WalkerHost38:01

There are two, in fact, and I was near the one on Lafayette, I guess.

Jodie WalkerHost38:07

I'm looking.

Nora PrinciottiHost38:07

They're multiplying.

Nora PrinciottiHost38:08

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost38:09

There are multiple.

Jodie WalkerHost38:09

And I was like, his name is everywhere.

Jodie WalkerHost38:13

But I understand what you're saying because what you're telling me is often what you hear about a collegiate athlete, someone who has spent-

Nora PrinciottiHost38:22

Yes

Jodie WalkerHost38:22

...

Jodie WalkerHost38:22

most of their life working to, uh, their life to that point, to a, a great degree of excellence with a high degree of focus and knowing what they're trying to achieve.

Jodie WalkerHost38:35

And when that ends, for whatever reason, I think generally someone has a harder time with it if they were hoping for more, they were hoping to go into a professional career and that doesn't work out or for whatever reason, and then they lack focus and then they probably, like, have a lot of girlfriends and cheat on them.

Jodie WalkerHost38:53

I feel like that's usually when I'm hearing about it.

Jodie WalkerHost38:55

And they're like, "Oh, former college athlete, cheating on a lot of girls."

Nora PrinciottiHost38:58

Right, right, right, right.

Jodie WalkerHost38:59

You don't hear that as much for someone who has reached the highest point, like one of the most successful athletes ever, and then now he's having this sort of, like, crisis.

Nora PrinciottiHost39:13

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost39:13

Although you hear it a lot, you hear it a lot with professional athletes too.

Jodie WalkerHost39:15

Sure.

Nora PrinciottiHost39:16

Um, that post-retirement is just like a weird-

Jodie WalkerHost39:19

Yeah

Nora PrinciottiHost39:20

... experience for a lot of them because yeah, I mean, you have...

Nora PrinciottiHost39:24

It's the same thing and then add on however many more additional years of doing that professionally, and it's structure and it's purpose and it's like all of those things.

Nora PrinciottiHost39:34

And I genuinely think that like, uh, from what I can observe, it seems like he's had a weird go of that where he just says yes to every opportunity.

Jodie WalkerHost39:42

Well, and maybe because like he is so big and his star and his talent were so big, he's doing, he's having that weird time that you're describing for professional athletes during retirement in the weirdest, biggest way possible.

Nora PrinciottiHost39:55

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost39:56

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost39:56

Well, and he's also like, he's, he entered that space a lot older than most football players-

Jodie WalkerHost40:02

Yeah

Nora PrinciottiHost40:02

... do because he played for so long famously.

Nora PrinciottiHost40:05

So like part of it, like his references are all weird, like he's not good at Instagram and he's trying to do-

Jodie WalkerHost40:11

No, he's not

Nora PrinciottiHost40:11

... all of these things.

Nora PrinciottiHost40:12

[laughs] Um, but the thing that's happening right now-

Jodie WalkerHost40:14

It's extended athlete adolescence.

Nora PrinciottiHost40:17

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost40:18

No, it really is.

Nora PrinciottiHost40:18

He's like a, he-

Jodie WalkerHost40:19

And I actually am qualified to diagnose that because it's not real, so I can say that.

Nora PrinciottiHost40:24

No, totally.

Nora PrinciottiHost40:25

We can make stuff up.

Nora PrinciottiHost40:26

So the thing that's happening right now is that he has this weird fake beef with Logan Paul that, uh, got attention over the last week.

Nora PrinciottiHost40:38

One when they were at Fanatics Fest together and Brady like open palm slapped Logan Paul, um, in a video that you could tell was a stunt because it was then posted directly on, uh, oh gosh, was it Fanatics or was it WWE itself? An associated brand's actual account and then Brady posted it.

Nora PrinciottiHost41:01

Uh, and then similarly-

Jodie WalkerHost41:03

It was Fanatic, Fanatics posted it-

Nora PrinciottiHost41:04

It was Fanatics

Jodie WalkerHost41:05

... directly on its Twitter.

Nora PrinciottiHost41:06

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost41:07

Uh, and then similarly they-

Jodie WalkerHost41:11

And Instagram

Nora PrinciottiHost41:11

... were videoed at the World Cup final like flipping each other off.

Jodie WalkerHost41:18

Nora, please do not undersell it.

Jodie WalkerHost41:19

They are doing the funniest, like, miming of a fight I have ever seen in my life.

Nora PrinciottiHost41:25

Well, they're literally doing that viral video of those two guys in SoHo flipping each other off.

Jodie WalkerHost41:28

They are doing that viral video of those two guys just going back and forth, just back, "No, no, no. I'm winning.

Jodie WalkerHost41:36

I'm winning.

Jodie WalkerHost41:36

Oh, I'm so mad.

Jodie WalkerHost41:37

I'm so ugh, ugh, ugh."

Nora PrinciottiHost41:37

En garde, bitch.

Jodie WalkerHost41:38

[laughs] I'm so mad.

Jodie WalkerHost41:40

It's so crazy and is like such a dumb thing to be seeing these two grown men or one and a half grown men doing.

Jodie WalkerHost41:50

It's nuts.

Nora PrinciottiHost41:51

Well, and like Logan Paul's hair and just the way that it looks is never not startling to me.

Nora PrinciottiHost41:57

Like that, there, there's a genre of person who I refuse to commit to memory so I don't really ever know what he's gonna look like before he's in front of my face.

Jodie WalkerHost42:04

That's a blessing.

Jodie WalkerHost42:05

That's your brain protecting you.

Nora PrinciottiHost42:06

No, totally.

Nora PrinciottiHost42:06

Totally.

Nora PrinciottiHost42:07

Totally.

Nora PrinciottiHost42:08

Um, but it's, but in, in instances like this where I'm forced to think about him, it's surprising nonetheless.

Nora PrinciottiHost42:15

Uh, so Tom-

Jodie WalkerHost42:17

Is it the blondness of it?

Nora PrinciottiHost42:18

It's the blondness of it.

Jodie WalkerHost42:19

It is very, very blonde-

Nora PrinciottiHost42:20

It's the blondness of it

Jodie WalkerHost42:21

... and very stringy and, uh-

Nora PrinciottiHost42:25

Yeah, it's a little bit the stringiness of it too, but it's-

Jodie WalkerHost42:27

The styling.

Jodie WalkerHost42:28

It, a- and it's, it's his brother who has the big beard now.

Jodie WalkerHost42:32

Is your brain protecting you from that too?

Nora PrinciottiHost42:33

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost42:34

Okay, congrats.

Jodie WalkerHost42:35

Um, it's the, this video is so silly and this like, got this guy like fake holding them back.

Jodie WalkerHost42:43

[laughs] And Tom Brady's just going

Nora PrinciottiHost42:44

goingUm, but the reason, like this is all very obviously a stunt.

Nora PrinciottiHost42:53

Uh, TMZ has reported that Brady is in talks with WWE.

Nora PrinciottiHost42:58

Uh, Logan Paul has done things with WWE.

Jodie WalkerHost43:01

I don't even know what that means.

Jodie WalkerHost43:02

So like they would fake fight each other and sell it on pay-per-view?

Nora PrinciottiHost43:07

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost43:07

Um, Ari Emanuel, who's involved with WWE, is also a recent minority shareholder in the Raiders.

Nora PrinciottiHost43:16

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost43:16

So they know each other.

Jodie WalkerHost43:18

I'm sure they knew each other before, but like they are connected.

Nora PrinciottiHost43:23

But it's like, just because you're connected to someone doesn't mean that you, a former champion NFL quarterback, need to do a, a stunt-

Jodie WalkerHost43:36

No

Nora PrinciottiHost43:36

... with the WWE.

Jodie WalkerHost43:38

I can't, I, I-

Nora PrinciottiHost43:40

I think he doesn't, he can't, he c- he-

Jodie WalkerHost43:42

He can't say no

Nora PrinciottiHost43:42

... pretty clearly can't say no, which there's something actually kind of a little bit sad but almost endearing about that to me because like I think he is, I think he's searching for something to like really be his thing.

Nora PrinciottiHost43:54

He tried to make it not telling everybody not to eat eggplant, and that didn't really work-

Jodie WalkerHost43:59

Yeah

Nora PrinciottiHost43:59

... um, in the way that he wanted to.

Nora PrinciottiHost44:02

I th- I think a lot of the stuff that he's done with, with, uh, pliability and nutrition and sleep, I think it helped him in his career, but it's, he's just never made it.

Jodie WalkerHost44:11

Well, he's trying to clone a wooly mammoth.

Nora PrinciottiHost44:12

He's trying [laughs] to clone a wooly mammoth.

Nora PrinciottiHost44:14

That's another thing that he's up to.

Nora PrinciottiHost44:15

Again, he can't say no.

Jodie WalkerHost44:17

I'm trying-

Nora PrinciottiHost44:18

I should pitch Tom Brady the Caesar salad idea.

Jodie WalkerHost44:21

Nora, you have never had a more receptive audience.

Jodie WalkerHost44:25

You gotta go to that like baseball card shop or whatever the fuck ever he's selling over on Lafayette.

Nora PrinciottiHost44:29

I know.

Nora PrinciottiHost44:30

I, like exactly-

Jodie WalkerHost44:30

And pitch him Caesar salad

Nora PrinciottiHost44:31

... exactly what that business is.

Nora PrinciottiHost44:33

Um-

Jodie WalkerHost44:33

It looked like a Lids.

Jodie WalkerHost44:35

Like [laughs] it looked, it looked-

Nora PrinciottiHost44:37

It does look like a Lids.

Jodie WalkerHost44:38

[laughs] It looked like a-

Nora PrinciottiHost44:39

It's also like the Fanatics element of all of this, and like Fanatics, uh, has just like completely ruined the once great aesthetics of like sports gear, um, I think have infected his brain as well.

Jodie WalkerHost44:58

I'm trying to get on board with you because you, what I'm experiencing this thing of sometimes when I try to explain, uh, reality star figures to you and all of the depth of knowledge I have that provides them a, a, a lot of humanity and, um, i- insist that I extend my empathy to them.

Jodie WalkerHost45:19

And then sometimes you might be like, "Okay, but they're peeing on the floor.

Jodie WalkerHost45:23

So like what do I do with that?"

Nora PrinciottiHost45:24

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost45:24

You know? And like I'm experiencing that with as I hear you describe Tom Brady, which is like, yes, like he is a man in the, you know, entering like the latter half of his life searching for meaning, like in a sort of voided area where he has not had as much experience, which is basically anything outside of football.

Jodie WalkerHost45:46

He, I, I find myself latching onto it most where it's sort of like there's something about doing something so, so stunt like.

Nora PrinciottiHost45:57

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost45:57

Like so stunty as to do the WWE that suggests-

Nora PrinciottiHost46:00

That's embarrassing

Jodie WalkerHost46:00

... a lack of ego though.

Jodie WalkerHost46:01

Like, it does seem like he's better than this.

Jodie WalkerHost46:04

He is much more famous than this.

Jodie WalkerHost46:06

He is wealthier than this.

Jodie WalkerHost46:07

There is no need for him to do this, which then makes me be a little bit like, okay, so like he is just doing it because maybe 'cause he thinks it'll be fun, and I can almost find that endearing.

Jodie WalkerHost46:18

But there is something so mortifying about what is happening-

Nora PrinciottiHost46:22

I don't think he knows

Jodie WalkerHost46:23

...

Jodie WalkerHost46:23

in this video.

Nora PrinciottiHost46:24

I don't think he knows because he's h- he is like the biggest day of his year at this point is probably like the Michael Rubin White Party, right? Like he's, that's who he's, that's where he's hanging out.

Nora PrinciottiHost46:37

He is, you know, this is a organization at this point run by a co-investor in the Raiders with him who you probably think is like really into that.

Nora PrinciottiHost46:53

I don't think that he has the spidey sense, particularly based on the other business ventures, like I don't think that he has the spidey senses for like taking his public image into acc- like I don't think he knows that this is, I don't wanna say beneath him, like it's not that serious, but I don't think he knows that this is kind of like a weird, "Tom Brady, why are you doing this?" thing.

Jodie WalkerHost47:21

But this does, it pivots him into a different sort of lane, and that lane is Logan Paul, like a, a former like Musical.ly star, you know?

Nora PrinciottiHost47:33

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost47:33

It, it is not, it is like such a different kind of person.

Jodie WalkerHost47:37

It is a person that we would often consider talentless, [laughs] like that they didn't have anything real firm to do-

Nora PrinciottiHost47:45

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost47:45

...

Jodie WalkerHost47:45

so what they did is kind of like accrue interest and audience and then coast off that for a really long time.

Jodie WalkerHost47:52

And now Tom Brady is aligning himself with that.

Jodie WalkerHost47:54

I'm wondering if it's like he only knows famous people, so then-

Nora PrinciottiHost47:59

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost47:59

...

Jodie WalkerHost47:59

when you're in search of a hobby, you can only pick up, uh, famous people's weird side hustle, like the WWE, which I give the WWE credit for like being an avenue of entertainment for sure.

Jodie WalkerHost48:14

It's not that that is weird itself.

Jodie WalkerHost48:16

It's weird, Tom Brady, don't fight Logan Paul.

Nora PrinciottiHost48:21

Don't fight Logan Paul.

Nora PrinciottiHost48:21

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost48:22

Don't fight Logan Paul.

Jodie WalkerHost48:23

I think don't do that.

Nora PrinciottiHost48:25

Don't do that.

Nora PrinciottiHost48:25

Don't, no, it, it, because it seems like something that you do when you have no other options.

Jodie WalkerHost48:29

Nothing else to do.

Nora PrinciottiHost48:30

And like this is a person who has a lot of options, but I just don't-

Jodie WalkerHost48:33

Has he bought a yacht yet? Do we think like that's something that could distract him a little? Could he get into yacht shopping?

Nora PrinciottiHost48:39

I don't think he owns a yacht.

Nora PrinciottiHost48:40

I think he's on a yacht quite often.

Jodie WalkerHost48:43

Maybe-

Nora PrinciottiHost48:43

But I don't think, I don't think that would do it.

Jodie WalkerHost48:46

I'm trying to think of what some other hobbies are that we could suggest I, we have one at the top of the list, which is grilled Caesar entrepreneur salad.

Nora PrinciottiHost48:54

Caesar salad with me.

Jodie WalkerHost48:55

[laughs] Which is start, you've gotta come up-

Nora PrinciottiHost48:57

Tom Brady Caesar salad with me.

Jodie WalkerHost48:58

You gotta come up with a name.

Jodie WalkerHost48:59

Honestly, Caesar salad with me, not too bad.

Jodie WalkerHost49:01

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost49:04

[laughs] Caesar salad with me.

Jodie WalkerHost49:04

And if you have any other hobbies to suggest to Tom Brady to save him from fighting Logan Paul-

Nora PrinciottiHost49:10

Tom, we have to get on this quick

Jodie WalkerHost49:11

... uh, please, please suggest them here.

Jodie WalkerHost49:14

I don't think we'll officially make that our introspective question for the week-

Nora PrinciottiHost49:17

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost49:17

...

Jodie WalkerHost49:17

but we are open.

Nora PrinciottiHost49:19

What would be, like, the other kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel moves that he could make?

Jodie WalkerHost49:26

[sighs] That's a good question.

Nora PrinciottiHost49:27

It is like dropping an album.

Nora PrinciottiHost49:29

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost49:29

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost49:30

No, that's exactly what I was thinking.

Jodie WalkerHost49:31

I was like, what do sort of, like, reality star...

Jodie WalkerHost49:34

He could go on Call Her Daddy.

Jodie WalkerHost49:36

He could drop an album.

Jodie WalkerHost49:38

He could, um, accept-

Nora PrinciottiHost49:39

Who's the next Mary?

Jodie WalkerHost49:42

Okay, well, but-

Nora PrinciottiHost49:42

No, he can't do it.

Jodie WalkerHost49:43

This is one of the issues with this, with this, like, leading up to the WWE thing.

Jodie WalkerHost49:47

He's a very bad actor.

Nora PrinciottiHost49:49

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost49:49

That's what makes it so mortifying-

Nora PrinciottiHost49:51

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost49:51

... is, like, that, that is exactly what it is, is that, like, watching him fumble his way through pretending to fight with Logan Paul so that he can pretend to fight with Logan Paul on a larger stage.

Jodie WalkerHost50:04

I don't know if he can do Mary.

Jodie WalkerHost50:07

Maybe, nope, there's no role in that very small play that he could do.

Jodie WalkerHost50:11

Oh, Roxie in Chicago?

Nora PrinciottiHost50:13

Oh.

Jodie WalkerHost50:14

Tom Brady, have you considered-

Nora PrinciottiHost50:16

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost50:17

... accepting the invitation that I'm sure is in your inbox to star as Roxie Hart in Broadway's Chicago, the longest running play on Broadway, second highest grossing.

Nora PrinciottiHost50:28

Well, that's the thing is like he need, I, I think that he would be well-served to understand himself as kind of an elder statesman.

Jodie WalkerHost50:38

Through musical theater.

Nora PrinciottiHost50:39

[laughs] Through musical thea- well, and, and, um, what is, like, an elder statesman entity of Broadway if not Chicago?

Jodie WalkerHost50:48

Exactly.

Jodie WalkerHost50:48

We know he's willing to work hard, and that is, like, that is the main thing you have to do-

Nora PrinciottiHost50:52

Absolutely

Jodie WalkerHost50:52

... to, um, come from wherever you came from and fulfill the role of-

Nora PrinciottiHost50:57

Tommy.

Nora PrinciottiHost50:57

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost50:57

[laughs] Tommy Hart on Chicago.

Jodie WalkerHost51:01

Honestly, I didn't think we'd get there, I would get there.

Jodie WalkerHost51:03

I think we came up with the best possible solution to his post NFL career.

Nora PrinciottiHost51:06

This is Shark Tank now.

Nora PrinciottiHost51:07

This show has become Shark Tank.

Jodie WalkerHost51:08

Well, if the sharks aren't listening, they're missing out.

Jodie WalkerHost51:13

These are, as you said last year-

Nora PrinciottiHost51:15

The sharks don't run this city.

Nora PrinciottiHost51:15

We do.

Jodie WalkerHost51:16

[laughs] We run this city.

Jodie WalkerHost51:17

These are billion dollar ideas.

Jodie WalkerHost51:21

Uh, I can't, and, and thank goodness 'cause I need the dollars, Nora.

Nora PrinciottiHost51:24

Math is not my strong suit.

Nora PrinciottiHost51:26

It wasn't Madonna.

Nora PrinciottiHost51:27

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost51:28

You are, and I know you won't like this, The Rizzler trying to get to 100% in the subway, in the subway takes interview.

Nora PrinciottiHost51:35

[laughs] That's offensive to me.

Jodie WalkerHost51:36

Unfortunately, you trying to do math in real time is actually-

Nora PrinciottiHost51:40

That's offensive to me

Jodie WalkerHost51:40

... worse than when The Rizzler does it, to be completely honest.

Nora PrinciottiHost51:42

That's offensive to me and my people.

Jodie WalkerHost51:43

Good.

Jodie WalkerHost51:44

I meant it to be offensive.

Jodie WalkerHost51:46

Um, we've gotten somewhere here.

Jodie WalkerHost51:47

Uh-

Nora PrinciottiHost51:48

I slap you.

Nora PrinciottiHost51:49

It turns out to be a WWE promo.

Nora PrinciottiHost51:51

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost51:51

We are actually way below doing stunts for the WWE-

Nora PrinciottiHost51:55

Shoot

Jodie WalkerHost51:55

...

Jodie WalkerHost51:55

so that would be a step up, um-

Nora PrinciottiHost51:57

Shoot

Jodie WalkerHost51:57

... for our direction.

Listener ‘Worth the Money’ Purchases Round-Up53:24 – 1:32:26

Jodie WalkerHost53:24

[upbeat music] Okay, Nora.

Jodie WalkerHost53:27

We had a doozy of an introspective question last week.

Nora PrinciottiHost53:30

Mm-hmm.

Jodie WalkerHost53:30

Which are what are three to five things, I was iffy on the number, you can tell me whatever you want and I'll let you, um, that are worth the money to you? And the girls are living.

Nora PrinciottiHost53:44

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost53:45

The girls came out in droves, and they are living.

Nora PrinciottiHost53:47

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost53:48

I, of course, use girls as a n- non-gendered term because there are plenty of men living too.

Jodie WalkerHost53:53

Plenty of, plenty of folks living, absolutely living in our DMs.

Jodie WalkerHost53:59

I'm trying to think of how to approach this because there were, like, some real clear this is what is worth the money.

Nora PrinciottiHost54:07

Will you tell me yours first?

Jodie WalkerHost54:09

Let me tell you some that overlap with the readers.

Nora PrinciottiHost54:12

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost54:13

Like, that overlap with the community.

Nora PrinciottiHost54:15

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost54:15

Um, and then I'll tell you, like, my more personalized ones.

Nora PrinciottiHost54:18

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost54:18

Uh, the electric bill in the summer.

Nora PrinciottiHost54:20

Yep.

Jodie WalkerHost54:20

Like, using your air conditioning.

Jodie WalkerHost54:22

That was big for a lot of people.

Nora PrinciottiHost54:24

By the way, I, this is just news you can use.

Nora PrinciottiHost54:26

Maybe everybody knows this.

Nora PrinciottiHost54:27

This was, um, new to me though.

Nora PrinciottiHost54:30

Uh, I read recently a whole Wirecutter piece about how actually the most energy efficient, both from an environmental impact and cost perspective, uh, way of keeping your home cool in the hot months is to, when you leave the house, to not turn it off but to turn it up Because it actually takes more energy to re-cool your house down than it does if you set it to, like, 77 degrees when you leave-

Jodie WalkerHost54:59

Yeah

Nora PrinciottiHost55:00

... just to make it okay, and then, and then you can bring it down once you're home.

Nora PrinciottiHost55:04

I just, just, just wanted to share that.

Jodie WalkerHost55:06

Just a little more, as a news podcast, these things are important [laughs] as the place you're getting your news.

Jodie WalkerHost55:11

I have heard that.

Jodie WalkerHost55:12

I also, and this has always stuck with me, and I actually don't know if it's true.

Jodie WalkerHost55:15

I've always heard that it is m- it conserves more water to run the dishwasher than to do your dishes by hands, like, hand.

Jodie WalkerHost55:23

Like, sometimes if you're sort of opting into it 'cause you're like, "Well, it's just a few," or whatever.

Jodie WalkerHost55:28

And that's fine.

Jodie WalkerHost55:29

Everyone can make their own choices.

Jodie WalkerHost55:30

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost55:30

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost55:30

We're not beating Amazon, folks.

Jodie WalkerHost55:32

But-

Nora PrinciottiHost55:32

With the exception of, so we didn't have a dishwasher when I, in my house when I was a kid, and the soapy sponge method.

Nora PrinciottiHost55:39

My, my mother is serious about almost nothing in this world in the way that she is serious about the soapy sponge method.

Jodie WalkerHost55:46

What's, what are you say- what is that?

Nora PrinciottiHost55:48

You don't, the soapy sponge-

Jodie WalkerHost55:49

What are you saying?

Nora PrinciottiHost55:50

The soapy sponge method is when you wa- if you have a load of dishes to wash and you get a sponge really soapy, and you, like, with just a little bit of water and soap on the sponge, and then the water is off, and then you are soaping up all of your dishes.

Nora PrinciottiHost56:03

And you are just getting them to a place where then you run the water, yes, but then you are rinse, rinse, rinse, rinse, dry rack-

Jodie WalkerHost56:11

Ah

Nora PrinciottiHost56:11

... dry rack, dry rack.

Jodie WalkerHost56:12

Uh-huh.

Nora PrinciottiHost56:12

And it conserves water.

Jodie WalkerHost56:14

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost56:14

That sounds, that sounds right, and she should be serious about that.

Nora PrinciottiHost56:17

Huge feature of my childhood.

Nora PrinciottiHost56:19

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost56:19

You sound only lightly traumatized, and I do wonder where this is pl- where that trauma is playing out within your life of like... 'Cause also something so interesting about, like, a lot of the things that are worth the money that people submitted, uh, clearly comes from trauma.

Jodie WalkerHost56:32

Like, from, you know, n- having to scrape by on something when they were younger-

Nora PrinciottiHost56:38

Right

Jodie WalkerHost56:38

... or when they were, you know, in their earlier adulthood, and like, now seeing it as something that just, like, takes a load off.

Nora PrinciottiHost56:46

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost56:46

Another one that I overlap with the readers on, which I would say in terms of quantity and actually intensity, was probably number one with a bullet of what people say is worth the money, is professional movers.

Nora PrinciottiHost56:58

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost56:58

Like-

Nora PrinciottiHost56:59

On my list as well

Jodie WalkerHost57:00

... absolutely if you can, hire the professional movers.

Jodie WalkerHost57:05

If you can't, but you can move a few things around and hire the professional movers-

Nora PrinciottiHost57:09

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost57:10

... make that decision.

Jodie WalkerHost57:11

And if you cannot completely, it's like something to hope for one day.

Nora PrinciottiHost57:16

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost57:16

Um, to know that it is, that it is really great and worth it.

Jodie WalkerHost57:19

Another big one, um, that overlaps with me is, like, a Rent the Runway, uh, subscription or a Nuuly subscription.

Jodie WalkerHost57:27

Someone was really on my page with like, yeah, I know we're all having fun with Nuuly, but Rent the Runway is still superior.

Jodie WalkerHost57:35

And Rent the Runway is superior for me because o- another thing that's worth the money is basically, like, thrifting on Rent the Runway, like, using that at more or less as, like-

Nora PrinciottiHost57:43

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost57:43

... my RealReal, like, buying things secondhand there.

Jodie WalkerHost57:46

Okay, let me tell you some, some unique ones to me.

Jodie WalkerHost57:50

Uh, Maldon Salt, New York Times game subscription, uh, Kat Von D lip liner, Anya Hindmarch bags, um, Marcela NYC, uh, sheer, semi-sheer turtlenecks.

Nora PrinciottiHost58:05

[laughs] Yep.

Jodie WalkerHost58:05

Obviously.

Jodie WalkerHost58:06

Um-

Nora PrinciottiHost58:08

Oh, Folax stain remover was on my list.

Jodie WalkerHost58:10

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost58:10

The-

Jodie WalkerHost58:10

Second Folax mention 'cause it's a little expensive.

Nora PrinciottiHost58:13

Folax, sponsor us.

Jodie WalkerHost58:14

It's a little, i- in the, in the tradition of this question, it's a little more expensive than I'd like it to be, and it's worth it.

Nora PrinciottiHost58:20

Ugh, but how good does it feel when you need it and it does the job?

Jodie WalkerHost58:23

And it really takes the stain out, and I am never testing it.

Jodie WalkerHost58:26

It's always like, "Spot test, make sure this won't fuck your shit up." Nope, I'm just doing it.

Nora PrinciottiHost58:30

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost58:30

Um, a good dirty martini with blue cheese olives stuffed in house.

Nora PrinciottiHost58:34

Yep.

Jodie WalkerHost58:35

Um-

Nora PrinciottiHost58:35

Okay

Jodie WalkerHost58:37

... and the DU hair products-

Nora PrinciottiHost58:39

Oh

Jodie WalkerHost58:39

... for me, and live comedy shows.

Nora PrinciottiHost58:41

[laughs] But not where you see Meg Stalter.

Jodie WalkerHost58:45

Not if you're performing on Broadway that night, they're not worth it then.

Jodie WalkerHost58:49

But if you're not performing on Broadway, I do find live comedy to be uniquely worth it to me.

Nora PrinciottiHost58:56

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost58:57

Okay-

Nora PrinciottiHost58:57

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost58:57

... what are yours?

Nora PrinciottiHost58:58

No, I just, I, like, I, I was expecting you to say theater or performances.

Nora PrinciottiHost59:03

S- I'm, I love that you-

Jodie WalkerHost59:05

I think that often, so this is a thing for me, and, like, everyone gave really, you know, like, unique answers that we'll get to.

Jodie WalkerHost59:11

It's this question is so subjective because-

Nora PrinciottiHost59:15

Right

Jodie WalkerHost59:15

... for me, sometimes concerts and live theater, while are, I believe that they are like...

Jodie WalkerHost59:23

I love live theater-

Nora PrinciottiHost59:24

Higher price point in general

Jodie WalkerHost59:24

... and I love live music.

Jodie WalkerHost59:25

They are higher price points.

Nora PrinciottiHost59:26

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost59:27

And so sometimes I gotta call it, you know?

Nora PrinciottiHost59:29

Yeah, yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost59:29

And I almost never have to do that.

Jodie WalkerHost59:31

Like, the price point on comedy is lower-

Nora PrinciottiHost59:34

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost59:34

...

Jodie WalkerHost59:34

even for the biggest ones, and so, like, I'm not having to call it.

Jodie WalkerHost59:39

I'm just like, "This is gonna be a good time.

Jodie WalkerHost59:40

This is worth it." I would say I've never gone to a concert or a Broadway [laughs] show that I didn't find to be worth it, but I struggle more with, like, making the payment sometimes.

Nora PrinciottiHost59:51

And you have fewer of those experiences where it's like, "I can't believe that was $15." [laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost59:58

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost59:58

No, yeah, no, that honestly doesn't happen.

Jodie WalkerHost1:00:02

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:02

Like, there's a-

Jodie WalkerHost1:00:02

Sometimes

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:03

... um, there's a place on the Lower East Side c- called Sesh Comedy, and look, so it can be hit or miss.

Jodie WalkerHost1:00:09

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:09

But I've gone to a couple shows there that I really loved, and it's really, it's, like, even, it's much cheaper than the Comedy Cellar.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:15

I think it's, like, $10, and it's also BYOB.

Jodie WalkerHost1:00:19

Oh, hell yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:20

So if you bring, like, a nice bottle of wine and a couple cups, it's just, like, it feels free.

Jodie WalkerHost1:00:28

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:28

It feels like they're paying you.

Jodie WalkerHost1:00:29

You're making money.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:30

And you're like, "How is this even-"

Jodie WalkerHost1:00:31

For the chuckles

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:32

... and, like, let me, let me make it clear that the- these are, these are, um, [smacks lips] you are sitting on a f- a plastic folding chair in a basement on the Lower East Side.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:42

But, like, sometimes that's kind of fun.

Jodie WalkerHost1:00:43

I'm already doing that-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:45

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:00:45

... from time to time.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:46

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:00:48

So why not make a little money seeing some comedy in the process?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:51

I think that's a really good point.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:53

It is a really good point.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:54

Okay.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:00:56

But number one with a bullet to me is a high fill 100% down comforter.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:03

Mm.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:04

People's beds came up a lot.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:06

Oh, a lot.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:07

The girls are sleeping.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:08

The girls are sleeping.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:09

The girls are sleeping well.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:10

They are sleeping quite well.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:11

Um, they are sleeping on some expensive mattresses- That we're gonna get into.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:16

Honestly, they're not even mattresses.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:18

[laughs] It's a cooling system, but we'll get into it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:20

[laughs] It's a system.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:23

And I, like, I actually do, I really ascribe to the category of, like, you're in your bed every day, and having your bed be exactly the way that you want it, I think that is, like, a really, really...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:34

That's a category that compels me.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:35

As you know, I don't like having to be, um, a victim to my own, uh, human needs.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:40

Um, so I- [laughs] ... s- I can kind of take or leave sleeping, uh, so it's whatever.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:45

But I like to be comfortable.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:47

I think that p- 'cause people often talk about, like, "Oh, I want my bed to feel like a hotel bed, like the most luxurious hotel bed that I've ever been in." And I think often that conversation centers around sheets and, like- Mm-hmm ...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:01:57

thread count, and great, knock yourselves out.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:01

I am really here to say that the thing that makes me feel that way is sleeping underneath a good quality down comforter that is light as a feather, still warm, but heat regulates properly, and just, like, fluffs up when I shake it so nicely.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:22

Mm.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:23

Um- That does sound nice ... that's a big one for me.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:25

Uh, I did have movers.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:28

The other one that's sort of in that category to me is car to the airport when you have a big bag.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:34

Oh, yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:35

Like- And you know I have a big bag.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:38

Right.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:39

Uh, pretty often.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:40

Right.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:40

It's car to the airport.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:41

It's car to the airport.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:42

It's car to the ai- And, like, you're not...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:02:44

The moment when you are trying to drag your suitcase through the turnstile, I'm giving a New York specific example, but, like, the turnstile at the JFK AirTrain Station at Jamaica, like, we're not doing that.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:01

Mm-mm.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:01

We're...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:02

I, it, this is an expense- Save the money somewhere else ...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:04

but I, I have never regretted it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:07

Um, topical, you could say, uh, with the cyclist board of it, of it all, but I would say, like, farmers market or CSA produce.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:15

Mm.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:16

Mm-hmm.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:16

Um, like high quality groceries I really feel.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:20

Uh, new bras when your bras are old and worn out.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:23

Okay, you don't have to come at me like that on the podcast, Nora.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:27

[laughs] I don't know why you're trying to [laughs]...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:28

We are gonna fight.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:29

No, because we all- On the WWE- No, no ... we're gonna fight.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:32

This is, some of these are feedback for myself.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:34

It's like- I know.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:34

It's a good, it's a good one.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:35

That's worth the money ... you get to that space where there's like a couple of your bras that you're just not using at all because you're like- Ugh, it's bad ... yeah, it's too, like the, the band has been stretched out.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:44

I don't like how it fits, whatever.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:47

And then you buy a new bra and you're like, "Wow, am I a Victoria's Secret Angel? I love this." [laughs] Am I Karlie Kloss? Am I Karlie Kloss? Yes, you are.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:03:57

And I told you that at some point I want us to do a sort of like mirror of this question that's like what are five things that are worth the time and effort.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:04

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:04

And getting rid of the old bras that are just weighing you down, where you're like, "I'm literally never wearing those.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:10

My boobs don't go, my, they don't fit in there anymore," or whatever, it's worth getting rid of.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:15

[laughs] You'll feel so much better.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:16

Yeah, you're wedging them in.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:17

You're moving things around.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:17

[laughs] You feel like something's kind of always trying to like- Nipples akimbo ... escape.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:20

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:21

[laughs] Get rid of them.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:23

Um, bowl of warm olives at restaurant, e- even if $11.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:29

[laughs] You do love that.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:32

You do love that.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:33

Bowl of warm olives at restaurant.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:34

[laughs] And maybe I'll split it with you.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:36

No problem.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:37

Thank you.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:37

It just makes me feel so happy.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:39

Someone said, and I'm not gonna be able to find their name right now, their only submission was splitting the bill evenly.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:48

Oh.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:48

And at first I didn't understand, but now I think they mean that, like, even if that means you're paying more.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:53

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:53

Of course that is always worth it to do.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:54

And just like not, not using a- Having to- ... like- ... fiddle or fumble ...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:04:59

the sort of, the line after which you... like where it becomes acceptable in a group to invoke a Splitwise.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:07

Right.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:07

Like having that be a higher threshold of like, oh, we did a little trip together- Mm-hmm ... there's a bunch of stuff, rather than- Dinner ...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:14

I am Venmoing you for half of our $8 Uber.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:17

Okay, but I am like- And it's like- ...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:18

Nora, you did eat most of those olives, so- [laughs] I definitely- Do you wanna take those on you? [laughs] Uh, but you know what? You know what? I will say, like that said, if I want olives, because it's worth the money to me- Oh, she getting olives for the table, folks.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:30

I like, I'll pay for the olives.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:31

I'm so happy to pay for the olives.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:33

I just want the olives.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:35

Of course.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:36

Of course.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:36

And you need them.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:37

Um, getting the little shoulder massage while your nails dry with a mani- mani-pedi.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:42

Mm.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:43

Worth it every time.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:44

Um, all of a sudden, whole spa day took 45 minutes.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:48

Gorgeous.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:49

Uh, New York Magazine subscription.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:53

New York Times Games.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:54

I don't know if I said that.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:55

My New York Times Games subscription.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:57

Also, my New Yorkers.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:05:58

Many subscriptions, but that is the one where I'm like- What does it say that no one's saying their New York Times subscription? [laughs] That's not what I, and it's not what I'm saying.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:05

[laughs] Just wanna do the Wordle.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:07

I've got, [laughs] you know, we're saying New York Magazine, we're saying New Yorker, but I'm just trying to get to spelling bee.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:14

Um, and then last one for me is an authentic Noguchi lamp.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:21

Have we yet acquired? Um, honestly, [laughs] the one that I need is currently sold out, so I actually...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:27

This is part of what was going wrong wearing this- You needed ice cream? ...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:30

rainy day ice cream.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:30

I knew it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:30

I knew this was about you needed ice cream.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:32

So I need, I need to buy a different Noguchi pendant lamp so that it can be installed and then we can swap it out at a later time because it has to go under a medallion, so the pendant needs to be available.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:44

[laughs] These are not real problems.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:47

I, you didn't say it was a problem.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:48

You were just explaining something I've never heard before.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:51

No, honestly, like watch this space for two months from now when I'm selling a Noguchi lamp for 50% off.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:06:58

[laughs] I'm always watching that space

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:01

spaceAbsolutely.

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:03

Watch that, watch that termite.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:07:04

Selling a lightly-

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:05

Watch that-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:07:06

A lightly, a lightly used Akari pendant lamp.

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:09

I love.

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:10

Um-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:07:10

But seriously, it's, it's, it's, um, it is, for a piece of design history, it is a relatively accessible price point.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:07:15

And, um, the interior decorator, David Netto, whose work I really admire, uh, did an Architectural Digest, like, Q&A video and somebody was like, "What are reasonably cost-effective ways to make your space look really, really good?"

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:31

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:07:31

And one of his answers was like, "Get an, get the biggest Noguchi lamp that your space can handle."

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:38

Uh, let's-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:07:38

And I really, I, I buy it

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:40

... we should link that video, um, because I really enjoyed that too.

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:43

These are the things.

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:44

It's subjective, what's, what's worth it to us.

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:46

I, that's gonna be so worth it to you.

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:48

I just, I sometimes I look into your eyes and I can see where you are in the process, and so it's also gonna be really exciting for me when it's complete in 17 months-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:07:56

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:56

... once we've done the switch out.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:07:58

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:07:58

Nora, I've never felt more famous than when I went into our, like, responses on Instagram and saw that the very last one that made it in under the line of the 24-hour deadline of asking the question on Instagram, which also please know, um, to all the readers listening, that you can DM us and email us any time at we're obsessed pod at Gmail or on Instagram.

Jodie WalkerHost1:08:23

You don't have to wait for the call-out on Instagram.

Jodie WalkerHost1:08:27

Um, but you can if you're Sasha, who's on vacation, and got in just under the line to tell us her things that are worth it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:08:34

And I do consider Sasha, um, a main taste maker of mine, so I was dying to know.

Jodie WalkerHost1:08:39

Hers are Vitamix, Breva- Breville espes- espresso machine, which was a big one.

Jodie WalkerHost1:08:45

That if, I feel that if you're on the fence and you're, and you have the money to spend, people are saying-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:08:52

People are really liking their-

Jodie WalkerHost1:08:53

People are saying this

Nora PrinciottiHost1:08:54

... their Brevilles

Jodie WalkerHost1:08:54

... people are saying that's w- worth it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:08:56

A good mattress, and a giant 4K TV.

Jodie WalkerHost1:08:59

She loves watching TV.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:00

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:01

In a, in a, in a, in that way.

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:04

And I love that for her.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:05

I love, I, I agree with investing in your TV setup.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:07

I, I have ...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:09

My eyes, like, can't do the giant ones 'cause otherwise, like if I'm too close to a TV-

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:14

Yeah

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:14

...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:14

I get really sensitive.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:15

I didn't really need to bring that up.

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:16

Well, as you can imagine, as I'm staying in a communist apartment, um, the TV-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:20

Small TV

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:20

... is not a really big priority.

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:22

It is smart.

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:23

I was shocked.

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:25

And already logged into Peacock.

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:29

What do you think he's watching on there?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:31

I mean ...

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:33

I mean, a- anyways, the eyes are straining, but we do what we need to do as we neighborhood shop in New York.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:39

This man can contain multitudes.

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:40

I wanna do Olivia's, uh, top three because I feel that it answers a question that has been asked publicly on this podcast in Spotify comments.

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:49

Uh, from Olivia, ARQ underwear and tanks.

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:53

A-R-Q-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:54

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:55

... underwear and tanks.

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:56

This was submitted several times-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:09:58

Yeah, this came up a lot

Jodie WalkerHost1:09:58

... by several different people, and I believe our reader, Marissa [laughs] has been out there really wondering what underwear people are wearing-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:10:05

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:05

... and really looking for some recs, and this seems like the one.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:10:08

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:08

Check it out.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:10

Um, pricey but feels like cool girl granny panties and so comfy.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:14

Uh, Olivia also said her garage parking spot in San Francisco, too expensive but worth it not to have to deal with moving the car for street cleaning.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:21

And a, a Range by Kara Duvall membership.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:25

Movement classes online and the only exercise that I keep coming back to for almost six years now.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:29

That's also on my long list.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:31

Reformer Pilates or anything that will make you want to do it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:10:34

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:34

That's different for everyone.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:36

For me, it's that.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:10:37

Well, and also, uh, any sort of exercise subscription that you like simply by virtue of a lot of them costing, like, about the same for a month as it takes to go to one class.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:10:50

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:50

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:51

It is, it is so outrageous how much they cost.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:54

It's, I find it worth it and painful.

Jodie WalkerHost1:10:56

I can experience both things.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:10:58

I love, um, this is an Amanda Dobbins rec, uh, that I've gotten really into, but the Soto Method app I think is really, really good, and it is, like, i- I think it's 40 or $50 a month, and it's just like if I do that three times-

Jodie WalkerHost1:11:16

I have so much trouble exercising at home.

Jodie WalkerHost1:11:19

I don't wanna do it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:20

I historically do too.

Jodie WalkerHost1:11:22

It's making you want to?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:23

This has ma- this has, this has been good for me-

Jodie WalkerHost1:11:26

Okay

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:26

... because often they're sh- like, often a lot of them are pretty short.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:29

So what I'll do is I'll do, like, a 30-minute class, which is actually 28 minutes.

Jodie WalkerHost1:11:34

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:34

And then I'll be like, "Okay, that wasn't so bad.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:36

I'll do another 15." And then all of a sudden I've done a reformer Pilates or a, a mat Pilates class.

Jodie WalkerHost1:11:41

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost1:11:41

That sounds worth it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:43

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:43

Um-

Jodie WalkerHost1:11:43

Having a great time.

Jodie WalkerHost1:11:44

Thank you, Amanda.

Jodie WalkerHost1:11:45

Do you wanna read Samantha's?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:47

Uh, okay.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:48

Samantha said, "Creme de La Mer moisturizing cream.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:51

I'm honestly embarrassed by the price, but nothing makes my face feel better.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:11:56

Keeping the AC in my home as cold as possible in the summer, like 66." Wow, that is chilly.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:03

Um-

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:03

That is chilly.

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:04

Her face is covered in cream.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:06

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:06

She's freezing.

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:08

She needs it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:10

Uh, my absolute massive TV that I do sometimes watch the pod on.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:15

[laughs] Thank you, Samantha.

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:17

W- I wish we were using, I wish we were using this triple digit moisturizer [laughs] in order-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:23

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:23

If she's gonna be watching us that big, I wanna tell s- Samantha something, which is that when I Googled the La Mer moisturizing cream, it is available on Sam's for a very low price, a discount price.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:34

Do you think it's real?

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:35

Get it while it's hot.

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:36

Usually those things at Sam's are real.

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:38

It's not like Walmart.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:40

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:40

But do a little investigating, read the reviews.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:41

Because they don't have the, like-

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:43

Like you can get, like-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:43

... secondary sellers.

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:44

Yeah, like you can get, like, drunk elephant si- I think it's just like sometimes when things are, like-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:47

It's coming through that Sam's QC process

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:49

... they're not lo- they're not giant ones.

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:52

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:52

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost1:12:53

But they are sometimes discounted.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:12:55

I mean, I, look, my instant reaction to this is like that is a crazy amount of money to spend on moisturizer.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:01

Um, that said One of the answers that I've seen, not from our reader responses, but just out in the world, that, like, I've seen so many times with people responding to this prompt that it's made me curious, are the Victoria Beckham foundation drops.

Jodie WalkerHost1:13:21

Oh, see, okay.

Jodie WalkerHost1:13:22

So-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:22

Which I think also might be running into the triple digits.

Jodie WalkerHost1:13:25

Many-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:26

Maybe they're, like, $85 or something.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:27

They're a lot of money

Jodie WalkerHost1:13:28

...

Jodie WalkerHost1:13:28

many of our readers said the Victoria Beckham eyeliner-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:33

Yep

Jodie WalkerHost1:13:33

... which I had heard more about the under-eye, I'd heard about the drops, but no one had yet said my pug word, eyeliner.

Jodie WalkerHost1:13:42

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:42

Oh, I have the eyeliner.

Jodie WalkerHost1:13:44

I bought an eyeliner.

Jodie WalkerHost1:13:44

Do you like it?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:45

Um, so I do like it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:46

What I have, I have the black one.

Jodie WalkerHost1:13:48

Mm.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:48

So, like, I'm ...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:49

I don't know that I've ever had it on in your presence, because I would wear it, like-

Jodie WalkerHost1:13:53

For an evening

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:54

... for an evening, yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:13:55

But if I wanna do anything resembling a smoky eye, I am using the Victoria Beckham, and it's, it's quite good.

Jodie WalkerHost1:14:00

Well, when I looked this up, obviously I went straight to purple, and [laughs] might-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:14:04

They do have good colors

Jodie WalkerHost1:14:05

... might just be doing it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:14:06

I love a colored eyeliner.

Jodie WalkerHost1:14:08

Um, also, what is that, uh, I ...

Jodie WalkerHost1:14:11

The one that s- a, a few of our readers said it, and so many people on TikTok said it, and I have found this an interesting exercise in, like, what are the things that, uh, you know, as I believe us, [laughs] I called us last week us normals are using, and what is everyone on TikTok using who's getting a million views? Uh, but there is some overlap with the Da- Danessa Myricks blurring balm powder.

Jodie WalkerHost1:14:37

You know about her? She comes with a little spoon.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:14:40

Yeah, I think maybe I know about this, but it's not canon to me.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:14:44

I'm, I'm, of course, interested.

Jodie WalkerHost1:14:46

People are obsessed with it, and say it is worth it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:14:49

It is $39, and I really want to try it to know, but that is a high price point for something that uses a series of words that, like, two years ago were not part of makeup.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:15:03

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:04

Blurring balm powder.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:15:06

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:07

Is that what it is? Blurring balm powder.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:10

How can it be all three? Maybe that's why it's worth it, it's so many things.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:15:12

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:13

It's basically-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:15:14

It's three in one

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:14

... it's three in one.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:15:14

It's three in one.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:15

And there's a lot of girl math happening in these answers [laughs] for, for what might make something worth it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:21

Oh, there was a very specific three-in-one one.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:24

We got so many, um, great, great submissions.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:28

Uh, I li- I liked this from Peyton, who gave some Canadian brands.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:33

And listen, I know I've said it before, and sometimes I fall short, but eventually I will get there.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:38

I'm gonna make a list of these.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:39

I'm gonna do some links where they're linkable.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:42

You can't really link, like, my kids, which a lot of people said, or, like, my dogs.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:47

And I-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:15:47

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:47

... am very glad that those are all worth the investment, but I can tell you about this blurring powder somewhere.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:15:53

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:15:53

So I'm gonna have two lists going, the one from when we were, like, what's worth it that's under $50, and what's worth it that's sometimes in a, a truly wild amount of money.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:05

These from Peyton I've gotta look up for the linking process, because they're Canadian brands.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:11

Canadian brands edition.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:12

TNA best ever crew socks.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:15

Herbaland Calm-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:16:16

That's the, that's the Aritzia-

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:18

Mm

Nora PrinciottiHost1:16:19

... brand, right? Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:21

Naturally-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:16:21

Yes, it is

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:21

... gummies with L-theanine and magnesium, and Lululemon Daydraft wide leg trousers.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:28

Do you think Peyton just thinks these are Canadian brands? [laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost1:16:31

Well, Lululemon is Canadian.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:32

It is?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:16:33

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:33

Oh, yeah, it is.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:34

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:35

So they're just, Peyton's just loyal to these Canadian brands.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:16:38

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:16:38

It, well, it also [laughs] it's like they are kind of, like, at least with Aritzia and Lululemon, I, I didn't know that Aritzia's Canadian, but it very well may be.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:46

Absolute apologies, Peyton.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:16:47

But, like, they are, they're, they've gone global.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:50

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:51

We can get our hands on these crew socks and wide leg trousers.

Jodie WalkerHost1:16:55

Um, from Ashley, "I only have one, and it's Manny, who takes care of my yard."

Nora PrinciottiHost1:17:01

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:17:01

"I used to think, 'Who needs someone to mow their yard?' And then I had kids, a full-time job, and actually want to enjoy my weekends.

Jodie WalkerHost1:17:07

Manny does one, in one hour what would take me six hours, and he does it better anyway.

Jodie WalkerHost1:17:11

Besides my husband and kids, he is my favorite person.

Jodie WalkerHost1:17:14

Worth it."

Nora PrinciottiHost1:17:14

Worth it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:17:15

Worth it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:17:16

A, a huge category coming in is, like, third-party sources who help you do something that they are so much better at doing than you are, and that that is their task and job.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:17:28

Well, and particularly, like, someone to do that thing you hate doing.

Jodie WalkerHost1:17:32

Which-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:17:32

Because I, like, whatever chore it is ...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:17:36

Like, this isn't me, because I like doing laundry, but, like-

Jodie WalkerHost1:17:40

Same

Nora PrinciottiHost1:17:40

...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:17:40

I know, I know a couple people who just abhor doing laundry, and sending their laundry out, obviously, like, this is a, this is a more common thing in cities, but, like, if you can take, as long as you're real with yourself and you d- don't actually just hate doing work, and you could apply it to anything, if there is one specific thing that you hate doing that is part of chores and you can outsource that task, I so believe that you should do it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:06

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:06

For many, many people, that is, uh, someone who cleans your house.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:11

Uh, Katie said, "My man Marcos cleans my apartment, number one.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:14

Number two, an overpriced Caesar salad and Cristal Blanc at the airport," which I love as kind of, like, a little, a little life le- a little something that gets you, a little bit of wisdom that gets you through the day.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:25

And three, farm fresh eggs.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:18:27

Yeah, farm fresh eggs, big.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:29

Um, from my friend Beck, who I didn't even know was, you know, like, giving, giving me answers in these call-outs, didn't know she was on the Instagram.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:37

Great to hear from you, Beck.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:39

Also a taste maker.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:40

An electric cargo bike, slow fashion, milk delivery, paying a professional to clean, flora bars and Noka pouches, and buying something anywhere but Amazon, which, you know, that is often a decision you have to make.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:53

Is it worth it?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:18:55

It is to Beck.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:55

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:18:56

I'm interested in milk delivery.

Jodie WalkerHost1:18:59

I bet you are.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:02

Tell me your ways, Beck.

Jodie WalkerHost1:19:03

It's worth it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:19:04

You gotta have a milk guy.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:05

guy.Uh, can I shout one out from Zosha?

Jodie WalkerHost1:19:09

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:09

Um, oh, God, I don't know how to say this one, uh, the first one, but the Maison Francis Kurkdjian.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:16

I've never known how to say that.

Jodie WalkerHost1:19:18

Kurkdjian?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:19

Kurkdjian.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:19

Um, they make th- that perfume that everybody likes in the kind of reddish bottle.

Jodie WalkerHost1:19:23

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:23

Um, but also Vilhelm Parfumerie scents-

Jodie WalkerHost1:19:26

Mm.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:27

Uh, which is an amazing-

Jodie WalkerHost1:19:31

So cheap

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:31

... um, perfume brand, uh, that I think is a collaboration between someone who, like, really did very s- serious perfume school in Switzerland and a cool person from Harlem.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:45

Um, and they do really great work.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:48

My husband wears Morning Chess, and I quite like it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:19:51

Well, I'm wondering if Zosha is in marketing, because she said, "I shall keep repurchasing Petite Matin and Dear Polly until I arrive at the pearly gates-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:19:58

Oh, Dear Polly is so good

Jodie WalkerHost1:19:59

... because I love smelling like a Parisian morning or Earl Grey and apples." I didn't know I could smell like those things.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:20:05

No, Dear Polly is so good.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:06

I didn't know it was an option afforded to me, um, with this, uh, very fancy perfume.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:20:11

Zosha also said fancy tea.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:13

That's worth it to Zosha.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:13

She also said oysters, which was a pretty popular one.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:20:16

Yep.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:17

Like, the o- the oysters are worth it to many.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:20:20

Yep.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:20

I really liked kind of on the other end of the spectrum this from William, who said, "Not a big name brand girly," parentheses, "from a store brand ingredient household." [laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost1:20:29

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:29

So like, yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:30

What are we going generic on? That's a good question.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:32

Um, but the two absolute must-have name brand n- name brands for me are Jif peanut butter and Duke's mayonnaise.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:20:38

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:39

Hell yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:39

That is worth it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:40

Duke's is worth it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:20:41

Wait, the next line of this is [laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:43

Equivalent of every other peanut butter is wrong.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:45

[laughs] And to be honest, I don't think it should be called mayonnaise if it's not Duke's.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:51

Coming in, coming in fast, um, Emily said, "A Costco membership, a Kindle plus Kindle Unlimited, a big air fryer.

Jodie WalkerHost1:20:59

Like, I'm talking big enough to not make things in batches, 'cause I'm not doing all that." And that's when you know it's worth it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:21:05

Yep.

Jodie WalkerHost1:21:06

A car with a steering wheel warmer-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:21:08

Ooh

Jodie WalkerHost1:21:09

... at newly.

Jodie WalkerHost1:21:10

Um, I gotta talk about this bed thing.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:21:13

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:21:13

'Cause I think that is the single most expensive, uh, like, worth the money that we got from, my notes are saying several, several people, is the Eight Sleep bed cooler slash warmer is the most life-changing thing I ever got for my sleep.

Jodie WalkerHost1:21:36

And you know, I don't wanna be a part of, um, doing more consumerism than we need to do.

Jodie WalkerHost1:21:44

I'm not gonna get the $3,000 bed cooling system.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:21:47

Mm-hmm.

Jodie WalkerHost1:21:48

But maybe for your-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:21:48

Unless they wanna give it to us.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:21:51

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:21:51

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:21:51

And actually maybe they should, 'cause I'm a doubter.

Jodie WalkerHost1:21:54

I'm seeing it come through and but you know how I am about sleep.

Jodie WalkerHost1:21:57

Who fucking cares? Uh, so these are obviously people who care [laughs] about how they sleep.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:22:03

What would happen if you just got, like, eight and a half hours of uninterrupted restful sleep for seven nights in a row?

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:13

I would be so bored.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:22:15

You would be the next president of the United States.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:17

Oh, you mean like I'm doing opposite of limitless.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:19

I'm using, like, 1% of my brain.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:21

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost1:22:21

[laughs] I think it's more than one, and you're doing amazingly well as that is.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:22:26

I'm just-

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:26

That's true

Nora PrinciottiHost1:22:27

...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:22:27

I'm just wondering what would happen.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:29

Your brain is protecting you from the Paul brothers, and my brain is protecting me from being too powerful.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:34

What would happen? Bad stuff, Nora.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:36

I'd do bad stuff.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:36

I'm spiritually bankrupt.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:38

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost1:22:39

[laughs] I know.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:39

Maybe.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:40

We'll, we could see.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:41

Maybe if I get...

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:42

So when you, when you get on the Eight Sleep website, you're like, oh, it's a bed.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:22:49

Yep.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:49

But it's not a bed.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:50

[laughs] It's a hub.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:53

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost1:22:55

A word I definitely thought applied to beds.

Jodie WalkerHost1:22:57

That they interchangeably call a pod.

Jodie WalkerHost1:23:00

I think the hub houses the pod.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:23:01

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:23:01

I'm, I'm seeing pod a lot.

Jodie WalkerHost1:23:03

Uh, the hub houses the pod, and it's a mattress cover, a cooling sy- and I know everyone who uses the Eight Sleep system is like, "She's underselling it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:23:13

She's ruining it 'cause she hates sleep." But that is what it is.

Jodie WalkerHost1:23:17

The pod cools, heats, and tracks your sleep, then adjusts automatically so you don't have to.

Jodie WalkerHost1:23:25

It goes on any mattress like a cover.

Jodie WalkerHost1:23:27

Each side controls independently for multiple sleepers, or I guess only two.

Jodie WalkerHost1:23:32

Two sleepers.

Jodie WalkerHost1:23:34

Um, and I don't know what the fuck that pod does.

Jodie WalkerHost1:23:37

Probably something with water.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:23:39

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:23:39

Like, what's in it? Is it chemicals?

Jodie WalkerHost1:23:43

It's, um, HSA and FSA eligible.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:23:45

Wow.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:23:46

So you could actually, um, reduce the real cost of this, uh, somewhat meaningfully.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:23:53

It seems like it, from the website, it mostly looks like it's kind of almost as if you had a really thick fitted sheet.

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:01

Mm-hmm.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:02

And that's how it goes on.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:03

But then also it seems to imply that it's one of those things that can make your mattress, like, tilt up.

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:07

Oh, well, I have to tell you something, Nora, that I've just discovered on the website [laughs] which is enhance your system.

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:12

So that's gonna run you an extra 2K.

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:15

That's called the-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:15

Okay, but I don't feel-

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:16

That's the base

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:16

...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:16

I don't think that that's what the girlies are excited about.

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:19

N- they might be.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:20

I also-

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:21

They-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:21

Those things make me really...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:23

Like, they freak me out.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:24

I don't think a bed should be able to do that.

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:26

Well, this says that the base-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:27

It's supposed to be flat

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:28

... and this is a bold statement, stops snoring automatically.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:31

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:33

Which that would be w- worth it to-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:35

Because it-

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:35

...

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:35

I believe a lot of girlies.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:37

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:37

No, totally.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:38

But so it fold, because it folds-

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:39

Because it sits you right up

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:40

...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:40

it folds up all the way.

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:41

To sit you up so you stop snoring.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:43

It actually just, it takes-

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:43

Crunches you into a taco so you stop breathing, and then nobody's snoring.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:46

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:46

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:46

Um, an adjustable base that gently elevates when snoring is detected, raising your head to ease snor- when snoring is detected.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:53

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:24:53

Now, that is nuts.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:55

That's also like, how does it, I wonder how sensitive it is.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:24:58

Like, does, can someone get away with a little [snorts]?

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:01

Oh.

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:03

No, not on Sleep Eight's watch.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:25:05

Not with Eight Sleep.

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:05

Not on the pod's watch.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:25:07

[laughs] Not, well, the-

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:08

The pod, inside the pod is, like, that little guy from Men in Black, and he's just in there controlling stuff, like pulling on levers and making things happen, and you're not getting away with anything on his watch.

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:18

You're not snoring.

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:20

Don't do it.

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:22

Um-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:25:22

I have a distrust of robots that makes me a little

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:24

littleI, I knew that I was gonna learn things from this and, and truly, like, there are so many individual fascinating little submissions that I, I, I, I promise I will...

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:37

W- we need a Substack.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:25:38

But like-

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:39

I'll publish the list in full somehow because, like, I'm learning about things.

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:42

What is Chantecaille mascara? Chantecaille mascara, um, from one of our Instagram submissions.

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:52

I have no idea.

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:52

It's $60.

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:53

What does it do?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:25:54

Wow.

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:56

It must do something.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:25:57

It...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:25:58

Does it-

Jodie WalkerHost1:25:58

'Cause it's worth it

Nora PrinciottiHost1:25:59

... eliminate snoring?

Jodie WalkerHost1:26:00

It might automatically eliminate snoring by growing your lashes so that you wake up.

Jodie WalkerHost1:26:06

Um, a lot of people said, uh, upgrading your flight in some capacity, so I g- I think that's one where, like, subjectivity really comes into play.

Jodie WalkerHost1:26:18

Like, if you have the desire and the means to do so, that could mean just, uh, getting your own seat.

Jodie WalkerHost1:26:25

It could mean doing first class.

Jodie WalkerHost1:26:27

It could mean business class for a long haul.

Jodie WalkerHost1:26:30

Uh, exclusively doing premium economy.

Jodie WalkerHost1:26:33

These are all examples I saw.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:26:34

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:26:36

This is one where, like, I get it, but it's just the examples are either something that is so expensive or something that I don't...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:26:46

To me, it doesn't make that big of a difference with, with the exception of...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:26:51

Which is not to say that it's wrong.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:26:52

It's to each their own.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:26:53

The one that really resonates with me is, like, uh, uh, paying $30 or whatever to choose a seat that's closer to the front so that you can get off the plane faster I think can often, like, really...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:27:08

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:08

That helps in a c- uh, what I will-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:27:10

But I'm, I can be kind of a cheap flyer.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:27:12

I like don't-

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:12

I can be kind of a cheap flyer, too.

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:14

What I will always pay more for is a direct flight.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:27:16

Yes.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:27:17

Oh, God.

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:17

I hate having to connect.

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:19

Um, so, like, if you can avoid that, 'cause then when you're connecting, then you're having to think about, okay, how do I get to the front of the plane? And you're like, "Well, now I'm paying more.

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:25

I'm paying for the seat.

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:26

I'm paying...

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:27

I checked, like, seven bags." Whatever.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:27:28

Well, and also you, you, you've at minimum doubled the things that can go wrong.

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:32

Um, do you know what people said a lot? Rent- renting, leasing a car.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:27:36

Interesting.

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:37

Leas- like, like, many, many people said that was worth the money for them, leasing a car versus owning, and I don't know if that means that it costs more or less, but they like doing it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:27:49

They like doing it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:27:50

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:50

And then I guess, yeah, you get a lot of, a lot of different cars.

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:53

Um, the second shot on Instagram said an ex-floor model car.

Jodie WalkerHost1:27:57

Hardly any miles, but way cheaper than brand new and just as reliable.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:00

Ooh.

Jodie WalkerHost1:28:00

More, I guess more of a hack.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:01

Good tip.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:02

I-

Jodie WalkerHost1:28:02

Um, Dyson hair wrap a big...

Jodie WalkerHost1:28:04

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost1:28:04

Dyson, Dyson is a brand that inspires in people.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:08

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost1:28:08

Very, like, I am really mad that this is worth it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:12

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:28:12

It is the Dyson stick vacuum, and it is the Dyson hair wrap, and everyone's like, "Goddammit, it's worth it."

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:18

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:20

I will say that, and you know what? You can, I've had a, um, I bought a Dyson stick vacuum refurbished.

Jodie WalkerHost1:28:26

Oh.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:26

Um, and-

Jodie WalkerHost1:28:28

You got a guy?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:30

Uh, I think, I think it might have been, like, via Walmart or something.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:33

But, um, it's lasted me a really long time.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:37

It is, like, here's what I'll say.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:38

I, I think that there are vacuums for much less on the market that do just as good a job, but where the Dyson-

Jodie WalkerHost1:28:51

Worthless?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:51

... stands out is, yeah, the ease of usability is like nothing else I've ever...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:28:56

And so if it's just like this is gonna make me vacuum four times more often because it's just taking something off the wall and go, like, it, that really hits.

Jodie WalkerHost1:29:07

A- and that, and that is often where a lot of these, uh, are coming from, is, like, either getting a little excitement or getting a little ease of living or that $3,000 cooling system bed.

Jodie WalkerHost1:29:21

[laughs]

Nora PrinciottiHost1:29:21

[laughs] For the bed.

Jodie WalkerHost1:29:22

$5,000 if you wanna automatically stop snoring.

Jodie WalkerHost1:29:26

I'm intrigued.

Jodie WalkerHost1:29:27

It's what I wanted to learn.

Jodie WalkerHost1:29:28

That's what introspective questions are for.

Jodie WalkerHost1:29:30

Like, I wanna know what people are doing.

Jodie WalkerHost1:29:32

I wanna learn about the subjectivity, and I think that ultimately it all boils down to, like, y- you can hear that this blurring balm powder is magic for 100 people.

Jodie WalkerHost1:29:45

If it's not magic for you, it's not magic for you, and I do think that, like, kind of figuring out where you're going to try some interesting things that you've heard about versus-

Nora PrinciottiHost1:29:58

Yeah

Jodie WalkerHost1:29:58

... what's not gonna be for you is, like, an important self thing to be able to do.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:03

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:04

Um, what's yours?

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:06

Can I acknowledge one more that came up a few times?

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:08

Yep.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:08

Um, one person specifically men- mentioned Meredith Dairy, but somebody else just said good cheese.

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:15

Mm-hmm.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:15

And good cheese is, in fact, worth the money-

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:17

Mm-hmm

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:17

...

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:17

I'm here to tell you.

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:18

Mm-hmm.

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:19

It, it, it really is.

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:21

Um, there were a lot of, like, a lot of things like that that are sort of, like, lifestyle, like, uh, con- concerts.

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:28

Um, someone said, uh, getting VIP at concerts for the bathroom, and that is, that's living.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:33

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:33

That's living, and I'm proud of the readers.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:36

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:36

[laughs]

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:36

So a fascinating exercise.

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:38

Um, I, I, I just, I had a great time.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:42

Really good scissors.

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:44

That's such a good one.

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:45

I'm so glad you said that.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:46

It's so good.

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:47

Okay, for me, it's really good scissors and so many of them.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:50

Yeah.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:51

I want-

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:51

Always having a pair of scissors when you need a pair of scissors

Nora PrinciottiHost1:30:54

... always having a pair of scissors.

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:54

Oh my gosh, 'cause one of my...

Jodie WalkerHost1:30:55

Well, this isn't a worth it item 'cause it's so cheap, but, like, my, as you know, my travel scissors are one of my most prized possessions.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:31:00

Yeah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:31:00

I talk about them constantly.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:31:02

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost1:31:03

Because I o- I feel so much gratitude every ha- time I have them.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:31:05

Yes.

Jodie WalkerHost1:31:06

I'm like, "I can't believe I'm traveling with scissors."

Nora PrinciottiHost1:31:08

Ah.

Jodie WalkerHost1:31:08

Who raised me? They did an incredible job.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:31:09

It's so good.

Jodie WalkerHost1:31:10

Wow.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:31:10

It's so good.

Jodie WalkerHost1:31:11

Okay.

Jodie WalkerHost1:31:11

Great, great, great one to end on.

Jodie WalkerHost1:31:13

It's worth it.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:31:13

Really good.

Nora PrinciottiHost1:31:13

Really good.

Jodie WalkerHost1:31:13

Get the scissors.

Jodie WalkerHost1:31:14
