Brad and Mirac protocol Drer.

Love you, Pee.

Okay, everybody, welcome to yet another episode of Brad and Mira for the Culture.

The Other People Show's weekly pop culture assessment.

I'm Brad Listy here in Los Angeles, joined as always by my friend and co-host, Mirra Gonzalez.

Hello, Mira. Hello, Bradley. What's going on? Are you doing? I'm all right. I should add that i am a gen exer i'm old and mira is a millennial

i love that you started with that every time i should add that i'm old and mir is young i want everybody

to uh say that when they first start talking to me well that's the conceit of the show is that i uh we're bridging

the generational divide you know a lot about

pop culture. I'm learning and we're talking across the void of time. That's right, across the void of

time and space. We're not in the same house either. Bread and I are not roommates. If anyone

didn't know that, I want to say say mirra that last week when i was

putting the episode together in post-production i had to edit out an incredible amount of table

noise yeah i don't i i need to ask you kindly to not like tap the table or like fuck with your

microphone yeah i have a problem i've got a serious problem. I have recently adjusted my psych meds and they say that it's supposed to help me not fidget anymore and I have a fidget toy in my hand. So I'm praying that I don't fuck up this episode. So wait, this is a real thing for you, the fidgeting? Oh yeah, big time. It's a real, it's always been a thing. I'm tapping

my foot. I'm doing all kinds of shit. I'm mostly, I'm picking at myself. I'm picking at my face. I'm

picking up my nails. I'm biting. And so my psychiatrist up to my meds, which has helped and

recommended me a pain fidget, which is what I have right now.

What is a pain fidget? So, like, if you, like, pick your, like, nails or your face or whatever, part of the fidgeting issue is that you, like, the pain is the stimulus that, like, you were used to. And so other fidget toys are just, like, not that good because you don't feel that with them. And so this is kind of like an acupuncture mat, but it's like a little like, I don't know, what shape would you describe as a cylinder?

Yeah, it looks like a mini corn cob or something. Yeah, exactly. It's like a little mini corncob that you

hold in your hand and you squeeze it and it's like gives you like the pain sensation

without actually hurting yourself do you pull out your hair i know some people do that no but i did
