00:02:21.287 --> 00:02:32.307 My first craving, which I guess is about new years, that I guess I can still do, but I feel like I'm really looking forward to this year because I feel like I need it, is yelling at the top of my lungs. 00:02:33.227 --> 00:02:35.487 Yes, absolutely. 00:02:35.987 --> 00:02:38.767 Absolutely. 00:02:38.787 --> 00:02:55.027 Doing that, you know, you can't really go to the middle of a park, just get rowdy, you know, I don't think I shout at the top of my lungs much, but when it comes to new years, definitely being surrounded by people and just yelling after midnight. 00:02:55.047 --> 00:02:57.187 I feel like it's a free for all after midnight. 00:02:57.607 --> 00:02:58.047 Yeah. 00:02:58.287 --> 00:02:59.707 There's no restrictions anymore. 00:02:59.887 --> 00:03:06.567 So I definitely feel like this year, I'm just gonna like tariff, not terraform, transform into like a wolf. 00:03:06.827 --> 00:03:12.987 I'm gonna terraform myself into a wolf and just howl for like for an entire day. 00:03:13.387 --> 00:03:14.727 People are gonna be like the fuck. 00:03:15.107 --> 00:03:20.327 I think terraforming into a wolf, it's just like you're a wolf and you have cool like trees and stuff on your back. 00:03:20.347 --> 00:03:23.667 It's like Torterra from Pokemon, the turtle with a tree on his back. 00:03:23.687 --> 00:03:24.007 Great. 00:03:24.327 --> 00:03:24.867 God. 00:03:25.767 --> 00:03:26.527 Shout out to yelling. 00:03:26.547 --> 00:03:29.947 Hey, shout out to yelling. 00:03:29.967 --> 00:03:31.227 It's a necessity, you know? 00:03:31.247 --> 00:03:33.007 Let her yell. 00:03:33.827 --> 00:03:34.767 Let her yell. 00:03:36.927 --> 00:03:38.227 I'm with her yelling. 00:03:41.647 --> 00:03:50.187 I wish you could put commas in hashtags because definitely just the hashtag, I'm with her, comma, yelling is what I need right now. 00:03:52.107 --> 00:03:56.947 New Year's is great because it is one of the times when it is socially acceptable to make a lot of noise. 00:03:57.387 --> 00:04:00.107 We sell things that make noise for New Year's. 00:04:00.127 --> 00:04:07.687 There's the little twirly things, there's the blowy things that people use at birthdays, but we all know nobody likes to have birthdays. 00:04:07.947 --> 00:04:15.287 My concern with New Year's and yelling is, I feel like there's a point where it stops being socially acceptable to yell. 00:04:15.407 --> 00:04:22.227 I think you're allowed to yell for like, you know, the time immediately after it flips over to the New Year. 00:04:22.427 --> 00:04:26.147 I think once you keep yelling for like two or three minutes. 00:04:27.247 --> 00:04:29.207 Wow, that's such a short time span. 00:04:29.327 --> 00:04:32.047 I was gonna ask you, I was like, what is this stop time? 00:04:32.127 --> 00:04:34.247 And I was gonna be like, is it five minutes? 00:04:34.267 --> 00:04:35.067 Is it 10 minutes? 00:04:35.087 --> 00:04:36.007 Is it 30 minutes? 00:04:36.027 --> 00:04:37.607 And you're telling me it's two minutes. 00:04:38.127 --> 00:04:48.047 I think if you're talking about yelling, people are kind of like, yeah, you're yelling cause New Year's, yeah, for like about maybe max 30 seconds. 00:04:48.307 --> 00:04:49.147 I think it's like- 00:04:49.167 --> 00:04:50.767 Damn, you're getting smaller on me. 00:04:50.787 --> 00:04:51.407 First it was two minutes. 00:04:51.427 --> 00:04:53.027 I'm not saying this is what's acceptable to me. 00:04:53.047 --> 00:04:55.707 I'm saying this is what is acceptable in society. 00:04:56.047 --> 00:04:57.827 How do we extend the scream limit? 00:04:58.187 --> 00:04:59.067 Yes, exactly. 00:04:59.087 --> 00:05:01.187 How do we extend the scream limit? 00:05:02.007 --> 00:05:06.847 Importantly, I think it should be long enough for you to just yell for as long as you need to. 00:05:07.047 --> 00:05:10.107 I think actually you should be yelling before it. 00:05:11.967 --> 00:05:12.827 It's like a buildup. 00:05:12.847 --> 00:05:13.647 You're saving it up. 00:05:13.667 --> 00:05:15.307 Can I just quickly interject? 00:05:15.327 --> 00:05:24.707 I wanna go with your idea, but the image of just instead of a countdown, just a count up for how long we can as a species sustain the yelling is just, there we go. 00:05:25.247 --> 00:05:26.027 That's what I want. 00:05:26.727 --> 00:05:27.807 What is your idea? 00:05:28.287 --> 00:05:32.767 To my idea, which is my idea is we institute two scream times. 00:05:33.747 --> 00:05:38.947 One scream happens before the new year, leading up to the new year. 00:05:38.967 --> 00:05:49.927 And that scream is releasing the scream energy, the pent up scream energy and vibes you need to release from this past year. 00:05:49.967 --> 00:05:56.027 It's about screaming out all your agonies and frustrations with 2020. 00:05:56.227 --> 00:05:59.587 And then there's a second scream for the excitement of 2021. 00:06:01.287 --> 00:06:02.947 So I think there should be two screams. 00:06:03.527 --> 00:06:05.707 What is the timeframe on the former scream? 00:06:05.727 --> 00:06:08.647 I'm assuming the latter scream is the same time. 00:06:08.807 --> 00:06:10.487 It's the new year's midnight. 00:06:10.507 --> 00:06:12.727 Yeah, you're like, oh yeah. 00:06:12.747 --> 00:06:16.267 Maybe a little longer if you're really excited, but this is closer to the vibe. 00:06:16.287 --> 00:06:20.587 For this new year's, I'm just gonna scream like, yeah. 00:06:22.027 --> 00:06:24.687 But is that gonna give you the catharsis that you need? 00:06:25.347 --> 00:06:25.747 No. 00:06:25.767 --> 00:06:27.467 So tell me about the former scream. 00:06:27.487 --> 00:06:28.727 When do I get to do it? 00:06:29.207 --> 00:06:33.047 So the former scream, I mean, you can do it for as long as you need to. 00:06:33.067 --> 00:06:33.607 It's just like- 00:06:34.507 --> 00:06:35.867 It carries a different- 00:06:37.067 --> 00:06:38.187 Yeah, you can start now. 00:06:38.347 --> 00:06:43.627 You scream as long as you need to to get all that stuff out, but you gotta be committed. 00:06:44.067 --> 00:06:46.587 You gotta be ready because you gotta scream. 00:06:46.747 --> 00:06:49.727 You can't stop screaming until the new year hits. 00:06:50.207 --> 00:06:50.467 Oh, okay. 00:06:50.487 --> 00:06:56.127 You have to scream the whole time because if you do, then the energy remains. 00:06:56.147 --> 00:06:56.947 The energy remains. 00:06:57.167 --> 00:06:57.867 Oh, okay. 00:06:58.327 --> 00:07:00.367 Can you take breaths? 00:07:00.387 --> 00:07:07.967 Can you just be like, my lung capacity does not equal the purest need to scream. 00:07:08.587 --> 00:07:11.247 You can do multiple screams, right? 00:07:11.267 --> 00:07:17.027 Or is it just like you get one big lung thing and you just have to get bigger lungs? 00:07:17.207 --> 00:07:19.567 I guess you can breathe in. 00:07:19.767 --> 00:07:29.627 This is sort of my New Year's gift, is I'm not immediately trying to ruin this craving solution and make it bad and dystopian, actually. 00:07:30.607 --> 00:07:35.807 So, it is just kind of like, you know, get into the right head space, sort of feel yourself out. 00:07:35.827 --> 00:07:38.767 How long are you gonna need? 00:07:38.787 --> 00:07:41.467 Are you truly only gonna need 30 seconds? 00:07:41.487 --> 00:07:44.027 Are you gonna really feel yourself out? 00:07:44.767 --> 00:07:49.227 Yeah, or are you gonna need like 10 full minutes to just, just like, ahh? 00:07:50.167 --> 00:08:00.147 I like this too, because it just sort of builds up into a cacophony as like, I really like the idea that like, the next year is just like, dude, did you hear like Stephanie? 00:08:00.427 --> 00:08:05.147 She just like, sorry to my mother named Stephanie, did you hear Stephanie? 00:08:05.647 --> 00:08:11.607 She was screaming like 30 minutes before the end, she just kept going, just for 30 fucking minutes. 00:08:11.627 --> 00:08:15.007 She really needed it, you know, you didn't see the year that she had, you know? 00:08:16.267 --> 00:08:22.727 So like, you know, there's just this build up as you get closer, but you know, the outliers are very amusing to me. 00:08:23.067 --> 00:08:37.667 Yeah, that's really good, because like, I feel like it's both solidarity, and it just like gives you an idea of like, what the year has been like for various people, because like, yeah, some people, oh my god, she was screaming for 30 minutes, and other people are like, I'm pretty sure you didn't start screaming until like 10 seconds before. 00:08:38.387 --> 00:08:40.567 How did you, how? 00:08:40.767 --> 00:08:42.667 You're good though, you're like, for real good? 00:08:44.347 --> 00:08:47.047 Are you just like, did you just not want to get rid of that energy? 00:08:47.067 --> 00:08:48.487 Because like, I get that, but like. 00:08:48.927 --> 00:08:56.127 Then the year is 2120, and we have the cult of screaming, where they just scream constantly all year round. 00:08:56.147 --> 00:09:00.787 Uh-huh, listen, you know, I've heard of worse cults. 00:09:01.407 --> 00:09:05.807 There's a lot of water, you have to like, there's like 30 second water breaks between screams. 00:09:05.827 --> 00:09:06.947 They have it down to an art. 00:09:07.207 --> 00:09:10.067 The art of screaming for $1999,000. 00:09:13.167 --> 00:09:16.187 Coming to you in the year 2121. 00:09:16.227 --> 00:09:16.547 What? 00:09:19.047 --> 00:09:20.467 Inflation, inflation. 00:09:20.627 --> 00:09:26.007 It's gonna happen. 00:09:26.027 --> 00:09:30.107 Yeah, this makes sense to me. 00:09:30.547 --> 00:09:38.007 You said we're not doing Dystopia, and I said fuck you, challenge accepted. 00:09:38.027 --> 00:09:43.927 One day, we will do an entire episode where none of our cravings make life worse for people. 00:09:44.227 --> 00:09:49.127 We will do one episode where all of our solutions actually make things better. 00:09:49.427 --> 00:09:51.447 I think the cult of screaming does charity too. 00:09:51.527 --> 00:09:52.847 I think it does make life better. 00:09:53.787 --> 00:09:58.287 Oh good, but does it do charity, like other religious organizations do charity? 00:09:58.447 --> 00:10:01.107 Are people forced to scream when they get their- 00:10:01.687 --> 00:10:02.027 No. 00:10:02.047 --> 00:10:05.567 Do they like exclude non-screamers from their shelters? 00:10:05.587 --> 00:10:06.407 Like what's the- 00:10:07.727 --> 00:10:09.347 No, it's just a normal cult. 00:10:09.567 --> 00:10:10.487 They have punch. 00:10:10.687 --> 00:10:11.987 It's not always spiked. 00:10:12.407 --> 00:10:13.307 They do screaming. 00:10:13.887 --> 00:10:14.347 It's fine. 00:10:14.367 --> 00:10:15.427 It's a normal cult. 00:10:15.587 --> 00:10:20.707 They have punch is not the winning thing you think it is. 00:10:23.787 --> 00:10:27.147 Does that feel like it would help you feel like you could scream longer? 00:10:27.167 --> 00:10:29.267 I'm excited to start the cult of screaming. 00:10:30.107 --> 00:10:31.187 So what's your craving? 00:10:31.687 --> 00:10:40.627 Yeah, my craving about this holiday that we call New Year's, I really appreciate the liminal space between Christmas and New Year's. 00:10:41.027 --> 00:10:47.847 It is a nice spot to be because you're like, oh man, we're just chilling, right? 00:10:47.867 --> 00:10:55.827 There's this period of time, you know, just this like nice kind of couple of days where you're like, oh, I can chill. 00:10:55.847 --> 00:10:57.067 New Year hasn't started yet. 00:10:57.427 --> 00:10:58.307 Christmas is over. 00:10:58.787 --> 00:11:00.247 Okay, we're good. 00:11:00.907 --> 00:11:03.067 It is one of the things that I tend to crave through the years. 00:11:03.367 --> 00:11:05.827 Oh man, that liminal time is going to be so good. 00:11:07.107 --> 00:11:08.287 So like, what if it was longer? 00:11:09.627 --> 00:11:10.207 How long? 00:11:13.347 --> 00:11:15.207 Like, is there, is there, here's the question. 00:11:15.227 --> 00:11:16.287 Is there like too long? 00:11:16.507 --> 00:11:20.867 Does it start to become like, do you start to become numb to the liminal space? 00:11:21.347 --> 00:11:22.987 Is that a thing? 00:11:23.787 --> 00:11:24.887 I mean, here's the thing. 00:11:25.227 --> 00:11:29.767 The nature of a liminal space is to be between boundaries, right? 00:11:29.787 --> 00:11:33.807 The liminal space is that which is not one thing and not yet another. 00:11:33.827 --> 00:11:43.527 So, we can't go too far, but also like, perhaps time itself is too rigid for the liminal space. 00:11:44.887 --> 00:11:46.927 What is there without time, you know? 00:11:46.967 --> 00:11:49.767 What is, what could be a time without time? 00:11:49.887 --> 00:11:55.047 That feels like a perfectly liminal space leading up to the beginning of a new year for me. 00:11:55.607 --> 00:11:58.827 I want the time that passes to be both infinite and nothing. 00:11:59.427 --> 00:12:09.167 You want the evil phantasmobubble world, Aurel, that's his name, who gives you your own world, and then you come back, it's been 20 minutes. 00:12:09.707 --> 00:12:10.787 Basically, right? 00:12:10.827 --> 00:12:13.487 But like, alright, here's my theory, here's my theory. 00:12:13.527 --> 00:12:15.047 Okay, I've got it. 00:12:15.067 --> 00:12:17.027 Welcome to the theory corner, everyone. 00:12:17.047 --> 00:12:18.707 So, you know when you get deja vu? 00:12:21.427 --> 00:12:42.947 Every deja vu, here's the thing, when you're during this time, all the deja vu you have is things that happened during that time, because, you don't remember them, because time, while you're in it, you are experiencing so many things, infinitely, things that play out again and again and again, and also things that never happened, right? 00:12:43.147 --> 00:12:49.147 And so it itself is a liminal space, it is cut off from the rest of the world, and that's where your deja vu happens. 00:12:49.467 --> 00:12:50.627 It makes perfect sense. 00:12:50.887 --> 00:12:52.967 Also, just like, yeah, this is what... 00:12:52.987 --> 00:13:02.887 Wait, I just need to understand, are you saying that all of your deja vu comes from the timeframe between Christmas and New Year's? 00:13:03.927 --> 00:13:11.807 Yes, because in that timeframe, we are all experiencing time infinitely and nothing and no time at all. 00:13:12.267 --> 00:13:17.647 Okay, what if I just lay down from now until New Year's? 00:13:17.927 --> 00:13:20.167 Is the only time I'm gonna... 00:13:20.187 --> 00:13:23.067 Can I only harness lay down deja vu energy? 00:13:23.087 --> 00:13:31.507 Do I have to start doing things in this liminal space so that I can then call on it during my deja vu moments and gain their power or something? 00:13:32.187 --> 00:13:38.267 Well, it all happens in the astral plane, so it's not really a concern of like, oh, what's your body doing? 00:13:38.287 --> 00:13:38.587 Oh, I see. 00:13:38.867 --> 00:13:40.747 Right, because what you do, what happens... 00:13:41.407 --> 00:13:42.627 It's so obvious. 00:13:42.627 --> 00:13:43.967 I'm so glad I figured this out. 00:13:44.747 --> 00:13:52.127 What happens is you go into the astral plane and in the astral plane, you see all of time. 00:13:52.147 --> 00:13:55.287 You see everything that could ever be and everything that has been. 00:13:55.647 --> 00:13:57.027 You see the time knife. 00:13:57.047 --> 00:13:58.187 You see everything. 00:13:58.627 --> 00:14:04.947 You are seeing it all at once, and at the same time, no time has passed. 00:14:05.167 --> 00:14:14.147 You have no memory of it, but the flashes remain with you, and that's deja vu, because you see what could be, you see what has been, you see what will be, what won't be. 00:14:14.167 --> 00:14:15.587 You see everything. 00:14:15.607 --> 00:14:20.407 You can only access that energy sometimes. 00:14:20.427 --> 00:14:24.887 The ghosts of what were, the ghosts of what are, and the ghosts of what might be. 00:14:25.607 --> 00:14:26.527 Exactly. 00:14:26.547 --> 00:14:30.427 It's sort of like that, but it has no moral to teach you. 00:14:30.447 --> 00:14:31.247 It simply is. 00:14:32.507 --> 00:14:34.567 The ghosts of what simply is? 00:14:35.147 --> 00:14:36.567 This makes perfect sense, right? 00:14:37.307 --> 00:14:45.247 So, when you get Deja Vu, does the ghost of what simply is or the simply ghost, as I'm just going to call it, just enter your body? 00:14:45.927 --> 00:14:49.227 No, it's more like, I think that one would be the ghost of like, what... 00:14:49.747 --> 00:14:50.667 The simp ghost. 00:14:51.027 --> 00:14:51.807 What could be. 00:14:52.867 --> 00:14:54.567 No, I don't think it's the simp ghost. 00:14:57.627 --> 00:14:59.907 Do you simp for time? 00:15:00.207 --> 00:15:01.887 Do you simp for liminal spaces? 00:15:02.587 --> 00:15:04.267 I absolutely simp for liminal spaces. 00:15:04.487 --> 00:15:05.627 I do not simp for time. 00:15:06.267 --> 00:15:08.187 I think it's like the ghost of what could be, right? 00:15:08.207 --> 00:15:11.927 Because it's like coming back and being like, here is what could be. 00:15:12.147 --> 00:15:13.767 What could be that has been. 00:15:13.787 --> 00:15:15.367 Uh-huh. 00:15:16.047 --> 00:15:17.867 What could be that has been that is. 00:15:18.067 --> 00:15:19.647 That never will be. 00:15:19.667 --> 00:15:21.807 That was never. 00:15:22.087 --> 00:15:23.787 That could have happened but didn't. 00:15:23.967 --> 00:15:25.047 But also did. 00:15:25.667 --> 00:15:30.347 And you saw it, and you experienced it, but you also didn't at all. 00:15:31.047 --> 00:15:31.667 That's deep. 00:15:32.007 --> 00:15:33.907 Yeah, I know, I'm pretty smart. 00:15:34.227 --> 00:15:36.107 When is your audiobook coming out? 00:15:36.627 --> 00:15:41.647 Oh, it'll be out all the time and no time at all. 00:15:41.767 --> 00:15:47.247 It is never coming out, and it is already out, and it is coming out in this exact moment, and it is coming out in the future. 00:15:47.727 --> 00:15:56.887 It is the audiobook, and really the book itself is decoupled from time, just as the liminal space is decoupled from time. 00:15:57.247 --> 00:15:59.207 And this isn't even getting in the space, right? 00:15:59.227 --> 00:16:02.307 Because during the liminal space, right? 00:16:02.327 --> 00:16:08.307 This liminal period of days, space itself is and isn't, right? 00:16:08.327 --> 00:16:12.467 It's like, you know, why you can see what will be and what isn't, right? 00:16:12.487 --> 00:16:19.207 Why you can see them both is because you are seeing universes that could be and also aren't. 00:16:19.487 --> 00:16:24.807 And space itself can't jive with that, and so everything is happening and nothing is happening. 00:16:25.107 --> 00:16:28.067 I think you've left me behind outside the liminal space. 00:16:28.487 --> 00:16:32.987 I think I've sort of created my own liminal space, my safety space. 00:16:33.327 --> 00:16:38.427 Well, simply, it's possible that just isn't your time yet, but also your time has already passed. 00:16:39.047 --> 00:16:39.887 Oh, okay. 00:16:41.187 --> 00:16:42.347 And also it's right now. 00:16:42.827 --> 00:16:46.667 Huh. 00:16:47.107 --> 00:16:48.527 And that's what I like about New Year's. 00:16:48.887 --> 00:16:55.187 My favorite part of New Year's is all of time at once. 00:16:55.727 --> 00:16:56.567 And also nothing. 00:16:58.047 --> 00:17:02.067 We could have just adjusted the calendar or something, but, you know. 00:17:03.647 --> 00:17:07.907 Turn the calendar upside down, and that's the new liminal space. 00:17:07.907 --> 00:17:09.547 Turn the calendar upside down. 00:17:09.847 --> 00:17:12.707 You know, what's stopping us from just going backwards? 00:17:12.807 --> 00:17:15.047 Why don't we start with December this time? 00:17:15.187 --> 00:17:22.167 Why can't we just do two Christmases and get Christmas over with and then work our way to January? 00:17:22.607 --> 00:17:25.147 So wait, you want to just go back? 00:17:26.047 --> 00:17:34.747 December 31st, 2020, and then the next day is December 31st, 2021, and then December 30th, 2021. 00:17:34.767 --> 00:17:36.047 You know, we're gonna count down. 00:17:36.447 --> 00:17:40.507 Wait, so I just have a question here, which is like, is this... 00:17:41.307 --> 00:17:44.427 Are we gonna be replaying things that we saw in 2020? 00:17:44.447 --> 00:17:52.307 Well, no, it's a new year, but we're just moving through 2021 and I just think we should make the year's kiss, you know? 00:17:52.327 --> 00:17:56.847 Right, would there be any sort of change to our lives because of this? 00:17:57.967 --> 00:17:59.347 We do Christmas twice. 00:17:59.367 --> 00:18:01.327 I feel like it would be quite hectic. 00:18:01.347 --> 00:18:09.667 No one really saw it coming that Christmas was seven days into the year, seven days before the end of the previous year. 00:18:10.007 --> 00:18:11.807 And really, why do we even need the other? 00:18:11.807 --> 00:18:14.947 We should just do the last six months over and over. 00:18:14.967 --> 00:18:19.027 I feel like I understand that my birthday's in March. 00:18:19.047 --> 00:18:20.207 I don't need birthdays anymore. 00:18:20.267 --> 00:18:26.067 If we could just do July to December, and then December to July is just back and forth, I think that'd be good. 00:18:26.067 --> 00:18:28.267 I think we could find a good liminal space. 00:18:28.747 --> 00:18:35.987 So wait, okay, so in that case, then the year begins on my birthday, July 1st, and then goes to the end of the year. 00:18:36.627 --> 00:18:38.667 You are aged twice in two days. 00:18:39.787 --> 00:18:40.507 Oh no. 00:18:40.887 --> 00:18:45.447 Wait, so wait, if this happens, your birthday doesn't exist anymore, and so you never age. 00:18:45.467 --> 00:18:46.467 I'm 25 forever, bitch. 00:18:46.547 --> 00:18:48.767 And I age twice as quickly. 00:18:49.347 --> 00:18:51.707 Like the fucking clones in Star Wars. 00:18:52.147 --> 00:18:58.847 And I'm just like, I'm gonna be dead in like 20 years, 30 years, something like that, and you're gonna live forever. 00:18:59.287 --> 00:19:01.487 This is natural selection. 00:19:01.507 --> 00:19:04.847 This is what people mean when they say natural selection. 00:19:05.587 --> 00:19:09.947 Thank you for telling me about your superiority to me. 00:19:09.967 --> 00:19:15.607 Superiority is, the criteria for superiority is birthday between January and June. 00:19:19.307 --> 00:19:21.647 That's how it works, sweaty. 00:19:22.587 --> 00:19:26.907 I guess it would increase maybe the liminal spaces, I guess. 00:19:29.327 --> 00:19:32.787 I guess then January to June is just the liminal space. 00:19:32.927 --> 00:19:36.227 It simultaneously does exist and doesn't exist. 00:19:36.967 --> 00:19:40.167 So simultaneously, you're dead and you've never aged. 00:19:40.887 --> 00:19:42.507 I think that's just being a vampire. 00:19:42.867 --> 00:19:44.387 Yeah, I think this is being a vampire. 00:19:44.507 --> 00:19:46.887 I think this is just another route to vampirism. 00:19:47.067 --> 00:19:49.147 But it does address my cravings. 00:19:51.047 --> 00:19:52.847 I'm glad it addresses your cravings. 00:19:53.107 --> 00:19:58.687 So we can move on to what we're craving for next year, for 2021. 00:19:58.727 --> 00:20:00.767 Tell me about what you're craving, Clair. 00:20:01.087 --> 00:20:08.047 Before I say what I'm craving for 2021, I need to give some context for 2020. 00:20:08.347 --> 00:20:10.867 Really, I deleted Facebook. 00:20:11.367 --> 00:20:12.607 I didn't want it anymore. 00:20:12.907 --> 00:20:20.567 The entire point for me for Facebook was organizing events, hosting dinner parties or going to dances or whatnot. 00:20:21.267 --> 00:20:27.047 When I couldn't do that anymore, I was like, what is Facebook except Doomscroll Central? 00:20:27.247 --> 00:20:33.847 So I moved my Doomscroll Central to Twitter, which I also want to get rid of, to be honest. 00:20:34.107 --> 00:20:37.347 But now I don't know what to use for scheduling. 00:20:38.047 --> 00:20:47.487 So for 2021, I'm really craving a tool to schedule events for that isn't Facebook. 00:20:47.627 --> 00:20:56.487 How to organize events, make sure that like I know who's coming, who can bring what, make sure everyone knows how to get there. 00:20:58.767 --> 00:20:59.127 Yeah. 00:20:59.367 --> 00:20:59.727 Uh-huh. 00:21:00.187 --> 00:21:01.147 No, I think I have an idea. 00:21:01.867 --> 00:21:02.267 Okay. 00:21:02.287 --> 00:21:02.887 What's your idea? 00:21:03.167 --> 00:21:05.287 So this app is called Cal.ender. 00:21:06.567 --> 00:21:10.187 It is the final calendar app you'll ever need. 00:21:10.207 --> 00:21:18.087 Um, it is gonna bring about the end of calendars, because it has all that stuff that you want, right? 00:21:18.107 --> 00:21:21.287 It has a place for all of those things, for coordination. 00:21:21.427 --> 00:21:24.487 And also, it links up with everything. 00:21:25.867 --> 00:21:26.667 Everything? 00:21:27.047 --> 00:21:30.667 Listen, you know how on Facebook, it's like, oh yeah, we can just all see the Facebook events, right? 00:21:30.687 --> 00:21:32.147 Because we're all on Facebook, right? 00:21:32.307 --> 00:21:34.267 If you're on Facebook, you can see all the Cal.ender events. 00:21:34.907 --> 00:21:36.247 If you're on Twitter, you can see them. 00:21:36.407 --> 00:21:38.367 You can link up all your accounts to it. 00:21:38.387 --> 00:21:39.267 Everyone can do it. 00:21:39.287 --> 00:21:41.667 And everyone will do it because we'll make them. 00:21:42.567 --> 00:21:43.007 Great. 00:21:43.067 --> 00:21:43.767 I'm glad. 00:21:43.787 --> 00:21:47.567 Miss Brianna, let's not do dystopia.com. 00:21:47.587 --> 00:21:48.647 We won't make them. 00:21:48.787 --> 00:21:51.807 We'll simply say, hey, it's the Cal.ender thing. 00:21:52.207 --> 00:21:54.387 And we won't need any of their information. 00:21:54.407 --> 00:21:56.347 We don't need any of their information. 00:21:56.707 --> 00:21:58.307 I guess they could just log in to it. 00:21:58.327 --> 00:21:59.027 They don't need to. 00:21:59.427 --> 00:22:00.067 This is sort of... 00:22:01.007 --> 00:22:02.647 We don't just use an email. 00:22:03.107 --> 00:22:08.727 You can basically just send out a Google calendar invite, but then you don't get any of the coordinating. 00:22:08.747 --> 00:22:12.027 You don't get any of that, like, who can bring a potato salad? 00:22:12.247 --> 00:22:14.267 Who can bring the hot peppers? 00:22:14.447 --> 00:22:18.827 I think here's the thing, because Cal.ender starts small, and then it's going to get bigger, right? 00:22:18.847 --> 00:22:20.027 Because here's the thing. 00:22:20.047 --> 00:22:26.427 It'll start out like, oh, you could link up with any of your email, with any of your social media stuff, and you can make a profile. 00:22:26.927 --> 00:22:28.407 That's totally easy to do. 00:22:29.027 --> 00:22:32.527 And then, you know, over time, we'll add more and more features, right? 00:22:32.727 --> 00:22:37.527 There will be ways to coordinate and organize and chat. 00:22:37.547 --> 00:22:38.127 And you know what? 00:22:38.147 --> 00:22:38.867 It's a pandemic. 00:22:38.887 --> 00:22:42.667 We may as well add video calling and phone calling as well. 00:22:43.067 --> 00:22:46.347 And then we'll add a dashboard, right? 00:22:46.747 --> 00:22:51.067 And then, Brianna, you're making Facebook, and I know you know this. 00:22:51.747 --> 00:22:59.687 One day, we will usurp Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and for what it's worth, Discord and Skype and Zoom. 00:23:00.007 --> 00:23:07.847 And we will become the end goal of all social media, the Cal.ender. 00:23:07.847 --> 00:23:16.447 We have ended everyone else, and now use us, and we use heavy moderation to ensure that it doesn't become horribly toxic. 00:23:17.587 --> 00:23:26.247 So without recreating Facebook, why do we have to put video calling and everything? 00:23:26.247 --> 00:23:28.887 And also, why do we have to put stories and everything? 00:23:29.007 --> 00:23:29.927 Call it to Twitter. 00:23:30.227 --> 00:23:30.907 But like... 00:23:32.087 --> 00:23:34.647 Sorry, they're called fleets on Twitter. 00:23:34.967 --> 00:23:36.767 They're called fleet enemas on Twitter. 00:23:37.267 --> 00:23:40.387 Here's, I have another suggestion, if you're not down with the app. 00:23:41.327 --> 00:23:42.547 Look, I'm down for an app. 00:23:42.567 --> 00:23:44.987 I'm just not down for Facebook to... 00:23:45.407 --> 00:23:46.407 I mean, here's the thing. 00:23:46.447 --> 00:23:48.967 It's not gonna be Facebook because we're gonna be better than Facebook. 00:23:49.307 --> 00:23:50.647 Right, right. 00:23:50.647 --> 00:23:52.127 What's your other idea? 00:23:52.747 --> 00:23:54.567 Mail stuff. 00:23:54.687 --> 00:24:10.867 Back in the day, when you wanted to set up an event, you had to send out letters and invites, and you would like send out stuff, you know, and postal service was like, you send out something in the morning, you know, they will get it in the afternoon or whatever, usually because you'd have, you know, people to deliver it. 00:24:11.127 --> 00:24:13.467 So we just have to hire a bunch more postal workers. 00:24:13.587 --> 00:24:19.747 I'm into this because it means we have to give funding to the post office, which I am for. 00:24:19.847 --> 00:24:20.967 I'm into that as well. 00:24:21.747 --> 00:24:26.607 Um, and we are now communicating exclusively via letters. 00:24:26.947 --> 00:24:29.887 And this way, we do have to plan events farther in advance. 00:24:30.147 --> 00:24:31.067 But I also like... 00:24:31.167 --> 00:24:31.867 Ah, yeah. 00:24:32.347 --> 00:24:40.707 I mean, I do too, but it goes to such a specific type of person who can plan that far into advance, which I do. 00:24:40.967 --> 00:24:42.787 But like, I know I am not everyone. 00:24:43.887 --> 00:24:44.947 Wait, what? 00:24:45.007 --> 00:24:45.487 Hang on. 00:24:46.027 --> 00:24:46.487 Back up. 00:24:46.507 --> 00:24:48.667 Are you saying our experiences are not universal? 00:24:49.467 --> 00:24:53.627 I think we've made that exact joke a hundred times on this podcast. 00:24:53.647 --> 00:24:55.587 Well, I'm making it again. 00:24:55.607 --> 00:24:57.867 Not everything is changing with the new year. 00:24:59.667 --> 00:25:00.947 Some things stay the same. 00:25:01.507 --> 00:25:07.247 My one thing is like, how do we keep track of the discussion threads? 00:25:07.587 --> 00:25:09.967 If I'm like, who can bring the food? 00:25:10.047 --> 00:25:20.467 And someone is like, I'll bring a cake, and then someone is like in the middle, has made a cake, and is like in the middle of writing, I've made a cake, and then gets like an, I'll make a cake. 00:25:20.487 --> 00:25:21.807 Like, what then? 00:25:22.247 --> 00:25:24.907 You're just gonna have two cakes, which may be not a problem. 00:25:25.287 --> 00:25:33.687 But what if it's like an event where you can't take two cakes, or they'll get, they'll take one of your cakes? 00:25:34.247 --> 00:25:35.127 Then you have to choose. 00:25:35.147 --> 00:25:38.607 Then you have to choose which cake, and then you're gonna make one of your friends hate you. 00:25:39.667 --> 00:25:45.207 And that's, you know, it started with a cake, and it ended with a friendship, but the friendship ended. 00:25:45.687 --> 00:25:46.627 It started with a cake. 00:25:46.647 --> 00:25:47.767 How did it end up like this? 00:25:47.787 --> 00:25:50.667 It was only a cake. 00:25:52.407 --> 00:26:01.487 Okay, so you're concerned that using mailed letters and invites will lead to miscommunications. 00:26:02.287 --> 00:26:03.887 There'll be like a communication delay. 00:26:04.027 --> 00:26:05.687 How do we reduce the delay? 00:26:06.167 --> 00:26:08.607 If only we could do like mail electronically or something. 00:26:09.127 --> 00:26:09.727 Imagine. 00:26:10.307 --> 00:26:10.887 Imagine. 00:26:11.487 --> 00:26:17.527
