0:00.0 | Eden, since we're talking about the final four today, I need you to give me four things you have on you at all times. |
0:08.7 | Okay. I'm going to show you instead. |
0:11.4 | A visual. Here's my fanny pack. I'm just going to grab the things that are always on me. |
0:16.8 | Always. It's going to be more than four. I'm going to pick the four that I can't live without. |
0:20.5 | Okay. |
0:21.0 | We've got hand sanitizer. Okay. A tape measure. Why? Because you just never know, Brock. Okay, okay, okay. There is a tape measure on your phone. Go ahead. What? What are you talking about? Do you don't know the measuring app on your, on your cellular device? I don't trust it. I don't trust it. I want an analog. I want a real one. Okay. |
0:40.3 | It's come in it's come in clutch when I've been at home goods. Okay. I had number three. Sunscreen. Okay. Of course. And, what SPF? Read me the SPF. What is it? It's just 30. It's just a replacement. I have a I use Korean sunscreen SPF 50.. I use that but this is like oh if it's on my body. It's also for my kids. Got it. Sure. I'll always there's always a sunscreen on me though. And of course because like because I am I'm the mom. I am a M-O-M-M-M-M. A bar. Some kind of bar. |
1:14.6 | Is that a blueberry? Is that what I'm seeing, a blueberry situation? |
1:16.8 | Yeah, it's a fig bar mini. It's nature's bakery. And because my mom always instilled in me, I always have cash on me. |
1:24.5 | Oh, my mom just yelled at me today, or not today, when I was home a week ago |
1:30.1 | about not having cash in my wallet. She was like, you need cash. That's exactly. It's a generational |
1:35.5 | thing, but I can't, I, it's in my brain. It's great. If I don't have like a 20 on me, |
1:40.3 | I'm like, what if I die though? So that was five. But what about you? What are your four |
1:46.6 | things? Um, minor simple and basic, because I don't have a fanny pack. I just use, I use my pockets. |
1:52.0 | I call it the boy purse, right? Um, sure. The burst. Yeah, the bar. Um, phone, wallet keys. |
1:59.2 | So the three, the, the trifecta. And then of course, chapstick, chapstick, chapstick brand, no flavor, the one that comes to the blue packaging. That has the most, like, visceral scent to me. Like, I would be brought back to elementary school. Did you have acutane? I can't remember. Did you ever do acutane? No, I didn't. I was gonna and then I didn't, I never did acutane. Okay, that's the reason I, my literal body is literally addicted to chapstick because what acutane is is it changes your DNA quite literally from the inside out and your lips go through this process and they become addicted to it. So I'm always, I'm going through a tube way faster than the normal average American human. You can mean yourself off of it, but |
2:38.8 | yeah, that's fine. I'm not interested in that. Um, okay, so this is all to say. And we're a little, |
2:45.8 | we're in the time machine a little bit. We've already done. We've already done the actual recap interview |
2:49.6 | with our guest today, Alex |
2:51.1 | Reid and Eden. Whoa, it was fantastic. So we're recapping episode 119, the final four, with the director |
