Speaker 1 00:02:03 Yeah. It's looking good. Um, babe, stand because you and I have been on this friends frenzy marathon lately.
Speaker 2 00:02:13 Yeah. When did we start watching friends again? Mm.
Speaker 1 00:02:17 I wanna say like in April. Okay. I think like about April's about right. Not, I
Speaker 2 00:02:21 Thought
Speaker 1 00:02:21 About right. Yeah. It was before they were you. Cause I remember that we're like saw the reunion being like announced and
Speaker 2 00:02:26 See, and we were in the middle of like season four or something.
Speaker 1 00:02:29 So we were like super hanged up. Like we're officially bootlegging, HBO, Mac
Speaker 2 00:02:35 <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:02:36 Specifically. We watching friends.
Speaker 2 00:02:38 I, you not friends on HBO max
Speaker 1 00:02:40 Me either. Like my dad got an HBO max, because he wanted to watch like the God a movie mm-hmm <affirmative> and I was like, right, cool. Dan Dolly. And then I was like, oh, you guys have friends here? Lemme just check your account. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:02:51 <laugh> <laugh> thank you.
Speaker 1 00:02:54 Thank you. Thank you for letting us watch friends,
Speaker 2 00:02:55 Sponsoring friends here. Um, Netflix. I was a little devastated que I didn't think they were gonna do it again. The, the office
Speaker 1 00:03:04 And they
Speaker 2 00:03:05 Did. And they did. So when I started watching friends, it was like when it was on Netflix again. Well, let's be honest. I watched it when I was a kid when it was actually on the air. Yeah. I never did that. I didn't know what really happening. I think I was too young and I didn't watch it from the beginning, so I didn't know who was, who, um, but I did understands and PPE was funny and that
Speaker 1 00:03:27 Kinda thing. And then you watch it again in Netflix
Speaker 2 00:03:29 And then yeah, I watched it again on Netflix because I needed something to watch when you were not around.
Speaker 1 00:03:34 And this is interesting. Um, this is something that I would like to ask the readers them and, or the, in the list, listeners, readers and listeners. Right. Okay. So we'll say this, you know, for those who are like, you know, living together and everything, like with your partner, do you guys have a role? Like, this is kinda like an unspoken rule that Jessica and I have, like,
Speaker 2 00:03:52 I think most
Speaker 1 00:03:54 That's what
Speaker 2 00:03:55 Most couples that
Speaker 1 00:03:55 What I like, for example, if Jessica and I are watching a show, the rule is like, for example, the office, right. Even though we've seen it like 10 times, mm-hmm <affirmative> the rule still is we cannot watch it without the other person. Like, cuz nobody wants to go back. Nobody wants to explain. Nobody wants, you know, let's just wait for that person. <foreign>
Speaker 2 00:04:14 Or if, like to say cliff hanger, how do you say cliffhanger? And Then it's like, I feel bad if I keep going and then I know what happened and you didn't. Right, right, right, right. So yo, because, you know, I always worked part-time and you've always worked. Full-time like, you know, doing laundry, cleaning the house I needed. So I needed something. So when I found, um, friends, I was like, oh yeah, I'm gonna start friends. And I did for like a solid, like three, four seasons.
Speaker 1 00:04:51 Yeah. I really wasn't into it myself
Speaker 2 00:04:52 On my own. The thing is right. Like from the beginning. So then it hooked me and then I started watching it when you were home. Mm. So you ne so, and I wanted, I, you know, I had some time or I was doing laundry again and I was watching it and you would periodically like pop in to the living room and you're like, oh, I mean, you know, friends, you know of
Speaker 1 00:05:20 Friends. Yeah. Yeah. I knew what it was, but say was like anti ran because I thought it was over hype and you gotta keep in mind. So
Speaker 2 00:05:29 You sound like me with American Eagle. I would never wear a
Speaker 1 00:05:32 S but I think mine is for different reasons. I mean, you know, but you know, like, um, you know, when I would hear like, oh, its that sitcom where people laugh and I didn't really have a good experience, like, you know, with those type of shows, like two and a half men. Ugh, horrible show. I'm walking, you know, how long met your mother? Wasn't that good Seinfeld. Seinfeld's different though. I mean, that's different. How, and I always thought that like Feld was the classic, so you gotta respect the classics, you know? And okay. I didn't, I wasn't
Speaker 2 00:06:02 Giving then I wasn't giving friends.
Speaker 1 00:06:04 I wasn't giving friends that platform. Right.
Speaker 2 00:06:06 Okay.
Speaker 1 00:06:07 So I was just like, nah, nah, nah, you know, he,
Speaker 2 00:06:10 What happened
Speaker 1 00:06:11 Then? Like I, I kind of Chandler and I was like, <laugh>, that was kinda funny. And then I was like, I wonder if this guy's always funny and sure enough, this guy's hilarious all the time. Yeah. So I fell in love with Chandler first mm-hmm <affirmative> and then I fell with, in love with Janice and then I fell in love with
Speaker 2 00:06:35 Everybody else.
Speaker 1 00:06:37 First it was Chandler, then it was Janice. And then I'm
Speaker 2 00:06:39 You love Janice?
Speaker 1 00:06:40 I am hooked on the show.
Speaker 2 00:06:42 So then what happened is we had start it all over again,
Speaker 1 00:06:44 All over again. What is it that I just said? So now that became our show of the rule, you know?
Speaker 2 00:06:48 Yeah. So then we did that for a while and we finished it. Mm-hmm <affirmative> and now that El was a year that we had started it again, but we didn't fit.
Speaker 1 00:06:58 Yeah. I think we got to like season
Speaker 2 00:07:00 So Uhhuh. So it was like, eh, and now we have HBO max and
Speaker 1 00:07:04 Well, my dad, my dad has HBO
Speaker 2 00:07:07 <laugh> we are borrowing HBO. Yes. He, and it just so happened that the reunion was the same year.
Speaker 1 00:07:16 You know, they were hyping it up and it did, it seemed really interesting. It was like a show, like a continuation. Oh, they pick up right where they left off 50 years later.
Speaker 2 00:07:26 No, they didn't wanna touch that.
Speaker 1 00:07:27 It's why
Speaker 2 00:07:29 It's smart. You think so? Because if they would've butchered it, it would've been worse.
Speaker 1 00:07:33 You didn't think this was butchered,
Speaker 2 00:07:35 But it's not attached to the show. Oh, that's true. It's not attached to of the, any continuation. So
Speaker 1 00:07:40 I a documentary essentially now I don't wanna spoil it too much for those I'm watching that get in bed. You know, my initial thoughts was that it was, you know, I thought it was too superficial. Like they were
Speaker 2 00:07:52 Honestly, I don't know Guo, but I know that COVID messed up the release date. So they had to push it another year back then now, because yeah, it was kind of like, it started off really good. And then it kind of scrambled.
Speaker 1 00:08:09 It did kind of scramble. Yes. My issue that was kind of with it. Like I thought it could have been better reduced. No, it was rush at the end. It anyways, it wasn't bad at the very least location reunion of France. For me personally, it raises a question.
Speaker 2 00:08:28 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:08:28 The question for me is making brands harder to do
Speaker 2 00:08:34 <laugh>. Why do you think that
Speaker 1 00:08:39 Of it's making friends harder when
Speaker 2 00:08:43 You're older? Jon said, Jesse, I'm younger than you. So I'm not there.
Speaker 1 00:08:50 Whatever
Speaker 2 00:08:51 Dude, ask your dad. I dunno. Are you asking me?
Speaker 1 00:08:54 We're getting older. I hope you realize that,
Speaker 2 00:08:55 Right? Yes. Playing the mu, but the that's older than me. So why are you asking somebody younger? Does it get harder? <laugh> like, I, you know what I'm saying? It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 00:09:05 Okay. Well is it harder now than it was the almost 15 years ago or 10 years ago?
Speaker 2 00:09:10 I don't know, bro. I have really solid friends that I've had. Mm-hmm <affirmative> I I've been friends with all of them probably for 10 years now. Mm-hmm
Speaker 1 00:09:20 <affirmative> I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 00:09:22 Why? Like at least two of them, two of my closest friends I've been friends with for over 10 years. So,
Speaker 1 00:09:29 So you're good. You're good.
Speaker 2 00:09:31 I I'm fine. If I don't make new friends from now on these, these girls are here to stay. You
Speaker 1 00:09:35 Know, I never thought that I was gonna have as the question
Speaker 2 00:09:39 You have like a, like a crisis on the couch while watching friends.
Speaker 1 00:09:43 I never thought that making friends, when you get older would be something that would be difficult. Cause here's the thing. Let me tell you right now, I'm a
Speaker 2 00:09:56 You're friendly.
Speaker 1 00:09:57 I'm a super cool guy.
Speaker 2 00:09:58 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:09:59 I don't know friends like, OK, hold on. Let me, let me rephrase that because there's gonna be some people coming kno and they be like, well now I know where I stand with Jesse, you know? Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:10:08 Dude. You have friends.
Speaker 1 00:10:10 Munchos homies.
Speaker 2 00:10:11 Oh, oh, okay. What is the okay well is AR homie I'm
Speaker 1 00:10:16 Well it depends who you're asking. Oh,
Speaker 2 00:10:18 I'm asking you
Speaker 1 00:10:20 East LA cholo. <laugh>
Speaker 2 00:10:22 That you are <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:10:23 Home is probably more deep than a friend. But if you're asking me, you know, this is my own interpretation based on my own rules and my own expectations and parameters
Speaker 2 00:10:31 And there it's totally VI viable, viable.
Speaker 1 00:10:34 You'll get by me. Home is like somebody that I, when I like to kick it with, you know, like, like,
Speaker 2 00:10:39 Oh, I'll kick it
Speaker 1 00:10:39 With. Yeah. Like I'll say like, we like to hang out. We enjoy each other's company be, are we friends brands? But me a friend is somebody who I share some type of bonding experience or life. All
Speaker 2 00:10:52 I go hanging out on the couch, playing video games. Exactly. I,
Speaker 1 00:10:58 I agree. Coworkers, you know like
Speaker 2 00:11:03 The
Speaker 1 00:11:04 People, you know, there's a lot of people that I like that I'm friendly with.
Speaker 2 00:11:07 Is that right?
Speaker 1 00:11:07 Sorry. The cash register. The cashier, the cashier. <laugh> see the cashier.
Speaker 2 00:11:13 You say hi to every people you say good morning to you say hi to everybody. You crack a joke. Chandler you're Chandler mm-hmm <affirmative> okay. Mm-hmm <affirmative> so
Speaker 1 00:11:24 May maybe, maybe that expectation. If we don't share some life bonding experience, then we haven't reached that level. Maybe it's too high. No,
Speaker 2 00:11:33 I don't think so. It'll
Speaker 1 00:11:34 That's where I'm at right now. Okay. Personally, I feel like when it comes to friends, friends, it's kinda like when SpongeBob says like we're like friends but closer and they're like sharing a blood vessel. <laugh> that's the level of friendship that I'm looking
Speaker 2 00:11:47 Good. You should, you should have high standards.
Speaker 1 00:11:50 I don't think I have person precisely that. Okay. I don't think I have that,
Speaker 2 00:11:54 But like my friends are your friends.
Speaker 1 00:12:00 <laugh>, I'm a, again, I am a fun person. I am a good person. Like say I really feel knows, but I'm me when to have to who resort? To like recycled friends. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 00:12:15 <laugh> is it? Cause I, I fucking, I introduced them into your life. <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:12:21 All my recycled friends that are listening to me right now. Wow. That are then Jessica's friends. And then therefore by association, my friend Uhhuh, Let me just say, I'm speaking to you. You know who you are. They
Speaker 2 00:12:33 Don't even listen to this podcast.
Speaker 1 00:12:34 <laugh> for whatever reason, they jump into
Speaker 2 00:12:36 This podcast. For sure. One we'll hear this, but I don't know about the red,
Speaker 1 00:12:39 Like say, oh, Jesse mentioned you <laugh>. Let me just say I love you. Okay. I love you guys. You guys are my friends. Mm-hmm <affirmative> I do value you. Okay. Pedro. I did not find you organically.
Speaker 2 00:12:53 Okay. Ah,
Speaker 1 00:12:55 I did not find the seed seed. I did not water it. I did not cultivate it. And I did not rape the benefits off of my own. I basically went to your peach tree. IRU
Speaker 2 00:13:04 <laugh> I share I'm sharing. Yeah, because ultimately they're still my friends. They didn't go and become only your friends and they stopped talking to me. Like that's not how it been.
Speaker 1 00:13:17 Right, right.
Speaker 2 00:13:18 But I basically like forced one on you. So
Speaker 1 00:13:21 That's true. That's true.
Speaker 2 00:13:23 Kinda like
Speaker 1 00:13:24 I'm like, well we have peaches <laugh> So, I mean, my million dollar question is like you said, I'm Chandler.
Speaker 2 00:13:34 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:13:35 My question is where is my Joey? Mm. Because you're right. And friends. When we watch friends, ultimately we identified as Chandler or Monica, you
Speaker 2 00:13:43 Know, for sure, for sure
Speaker 1 00:13:44 Who it is. Lanere
Speaker 2 00:13:46 I don't know why my dad always would say that I was a Phoebe. I think maybe as a child, I was, but maybe I'm not a Phoebe <laugh> she's she's a massage therapist. That's as far as I got into Phoebes
Speaker 1 00:13:59 I like how every time she says that she's a Masui cringe.
Speaker 2 00:14:01 I don't like the fact that she, well, it was the nineties.
Speaker 1 00:14:03 Yeah. It was the nineties.
Speaker 2 00:14:04 They didn't know any better. Um, there's a lot of things that didn't age. Well in that show mm-hmm <affirmative> but uh, I I'm a Monica mm-hmm <affirmative> I'm I mean, I'm not like an OCD cleaner, but I like things to be neat. And like, when she says things need to be an orderly fashion,
Speaker 1 00:14:21 Orderly fashion, that is you in a nutshell, orderly fashion,
Speaker 2 00:14:24 The honeymoon is, it resonates with me. Um, <laugh> uh, I'm just not competitive.
Speaker 1 00:14:31 Oh yeah. She's competitive.
Speaker 2 00:14:32 I'm not competitive. I can't, I can't do it. It's just not in me. And I feel like I'm the, the friend that everybody tolerates, but can't live without, you know, <foreign> like, she throws the boring parties and oh, like they, they have to be there because it's Monica, but like, it's gonna be boring kind of thing, you know? Or like, she's just like too aggressively this or too, too aggressively that. And it's like,
Speaker 1 00:14:57 But there's so much value built around her Gabe.
Speaker 2 00:15:00 Yeah. But she's great. I love that. She's like the fat girl on the inside still.
Speaker 1 00:15:05 Olivia she's still trying to validate herself. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:15:07 Mm-hmm <affirmative>
Speaker 1 00:15:08 I'm I'm Chandler. I'm definitely, you know, like I'm definitely the guy that get, like, if something's slightly uncomfortable, I'm just gonna use my humor. I have blank with humor. Mm-hmm <affirmative> mm-hmm <affirmative> you know, like your can actually deal with cancer
Speaker 1 00:15:22 <laugh> and I know that sounds uncomfortable because speaking about cancer is uncomfortable Uhhuh. So I'd rather make a joke about it, you know? Yeah. I know. It's a lot easier to deal with it that now I do know that Kip was, that's a deflection thing. It's not the most sustainable kitty. Mm-hmm <affirmative> up with when, when we identify this, as those characters, Chandler has Joey Chandler has someone that he can trust. So why don't I have that? Yo, yo person not meant. What, what am I missing? You know, because you babe, I don't know. You're good. Your friends. Yeah. Okay. So
Speaker 2 00:15:54 To work in progress, what's
Speaker 1 00:15:55 The secret sauce.
Speaker 2 00:15:56 I don't know what the secret sauce is. I don't know. Jesse
Speaker 1 00:16:00 23 recipes for, you know, the herbs and spices for the fried chicken <laugh> of friendship.
Speaker 2 00:16:06 <laugh> I mean, I think that like, I think deep Don, you do know, you just wanna, I feel like you have to find the person that you wanna try with. It's hard though.
Speaker 1 00:16:17 Sounds like a marriage.
Speaker 2 00:16:19 Yeah, exactly. I think so. But I really do feel like you need to be the friend you want for yourself, but to, towards others. Mm.
Speaker 1 00:16:28 Okay. You make time for your friend.
Speaker 2 00:16:30 I do make time for my friend
Speaker 1 00:16:32 Do,
Speaker 2 00:16:33 And then most of them are long distance now, so,
Speaker 1 00:16:35 And you're good in long distance.
Speaker 2 00:16:37 Yeah. You know, my friends are not like, like we're not needy. We're not on, we don't need, I know like, oh, men, we can be friends kind of thing because oh, you know, you can go weeks, months and ALA, and then you meet up and it's like, you pick up right where we left up.
Speaker 1 00:16:55 I definitely do have that.
Speaker 2 00:16:57 Yeah. I don't believe that that's friends. <laugh> I feel like friends keep up with each other yeah. On a regular basis.
Speaker 1 00:17:03 And that's what I mean, like, I, I am homies. Those are my homies.
Speaker 2 00:17:06 Yeah. But those are not, those are, that's not the type of friends I want because I, I feel com we, I need people around me, good people around me, because it's just what helps you be a good person. Reach your goals, share good memories with like, you need to surround yourself with good people in order to enjoy life.
Speaker 1 00:17:30 You definitely do invest in your friendships. Mm-hmm <affirmative> you definitely do do that. That's a good thing. Yeah. And that I wasn't really doing, even like, you know, with my friends, my, my extended friends, my deep friends giving the Uhhuh. I didn't know. Like I was not really keeping up per se. Mm-hmm <affirmative> I always sound like, well, They, yeah. Pointed
Speaker 2 00:17:52 It out until they pointed it
Speaker 1 00:17:53 Out. <laugh> well, obviously, like it's not an excuse, but now that I understand where it kind of comes from, like, I realize that my, my ADHD was kind of part of it. Like, you know? Yeah. You
Speaker 2 00:18:03 Just don't follow up.
Speaker 1 00:18:04 Don't follow up. That's
Speaker 2 00:18:05 And I'm all about,
Speaker 1 00:18:06 You're all about to follow up. Following
Speaker 2 00:18:08 Up
Speaker 1 00:18:08 In, in a nutshell, that's been my personality. I always make a great impression Uhhuh, but I never follow up. Even with people who I thought were cool. Like I just don't follow up with them. Yeah. So I think a lot of it is on me. It's like, I want a life bond experience, but how am I gonna get that? If I'm not following up with them until like schedule something in, you
Speaker 2 00:18:27 Know, exactly like you like says to says you wanna Joey. Right. I feel like you have to act like a Joey for someone,
Speaker 1 00:18:35 Or at least a gentler for someone Chandler was a B man. He was a support. He was there. He was like supporting the shenanigans that Joey was getting into. He
Speaker 2 00:18:42 Paid for his acting classes
Speaker 1 00:18:43 Who wants to be an actor for,
Speaker 2 00:18:44 He basically is like, lo man, I don't know, like, okay.
Speaker 1 00:18:47 But
Speaker 2 00:18:49 BOS I'm saying, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's like, you just have to be the friend that you want for someone.
Speaker 1 00:18:56 Yeah. Oh man. You're right. Yeah. Yeah. You're right.
Speaker 2 00:19:00 It's biblical,
Speaker 1 00:19:00 Bro. Well, see
Speaker 2 00:19:02 <laugh> this is not some secret.
Speaker 1 00:19:07 It's something that I'm working and something that I'm definitely more
Speaker 2 00:19:09 To work on. So like, it doesn't have to be like this life sucking like conversation.
Speaker 1 00:19:19 Yeah. Yeah. It shouldn't be like, it's not crazy amount of work. The bulk.
Speaker 2 00:19:22 It's not like deep conversation. Like that's not it, you know, and people bond, like you said, people bond over different things. I, I have different bonds with each one of my friends. Yeah. Yeah. So I think that we can all like come together and coexist, but I do have an attachment at different attachment to each one because of how we met or like what we went through, things like that.
Speaker 1 00:19:47 Yeah. For sure. And you know, it's like, okay, I am definitely more aware of, and it's something that I definitely plan I'm doing more of. And you know, it was not like I haven't had friends. I have great childhood friends that are always gonna mean the world to me, you know, like Rafa and Tito and Madine and like Gabriel, like
Speaker 2 00:20:01 Yeah, the OGs,
Speaker 1 00:20:03 I grew up with them and they're always going to be like, you know, have a special place in my heart and in my memory, because we grew up together. These are my growing up childhood friends. And even though I don't see them as often anymore, they're still always gonna be in some shape sense form a part of my life are mm-hmm <affirmative> I have, um, um, friends that are, I would say are older than me, you know? So therefore, maybe are LUS or are palms are not really similar pet eyes.
Speaker 2 00:20:29 And they have
Speaker 1 00:20:29 Family and they have family and I respect 'em and I looked up to them and I admire them, you know? And they're very special with me.

Speaker 1 00:23:13 You don't even remember her. That's so rude. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:23:15 And intimidated. The other one was intimidated of me and it's just, and we met in middle school, so it's not like, you know, it's just, I was a kid and I was already coming off that way. But IM I am prone to the, you just need to get to know her. <laugh> you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 00:24:28 Yeah. You know, that's a really good question. Now this is a question for everybody that's listening, you know, first of all, what has helped you maintain your friendships? Jessica's been really good. She follows up. She makes sure that she devotes time to it. Like cultivates it.
Speaker 2 00:24:44 I created a film
Speaker 1 00:24:44 Club. There's secondary marriages. You know, essentially
Speaker 2 00:24:48 I'm committed. I'm loyal too. You're a

Speaker 2 00:24:51 Am so loyal.
Speaker 1 00:24:52 You're a loyal
Speaker 2 00:24:52 Friend. And I look for
Speaker 1 00:24:53 That. I mean, I'm a loyal too. I'm not gonna sell you to like under the buzz for the FBI or something.
Speaker 2 00:24:57 Okay. Okay. But you're not really good at keeping secret.
Speaker 1 00:25:01 My God, the one secret. I say the one time I somebody's cover, you know,
Speaker 2 00:25:07 You gotta be trustworthy
Speaker 1 00:25:09 The one time I get somebody in jail talk too much. I'll say
Speaker 2 00:25:13 You gotta keep a tight lip.
Speaker 1 00:25:16 Bro's almost like cripsy bloods. You know, that can,
Speaker 2 00:25:18 And that's the thing about the, about me too. Like, I was amazing. Oh, but
Speaker 1 00:25:22 Let the record show that I am not spoiled any other secret, but besides that one,
Speaker 2 00:25:26 Well
Speaker 1 00:25:29 Was <laugh>
Speaker 2 00:25:33 I'm not the type of friend. Yeah. I'm not. And, and, and sometimes they'll one, one of them has told me like, well, I know like you'll tell Jesse. I'm like, no, I'm not. I don't. Or they, or I think they've learned all of them have learned. Like, and then like maybe down the road, like you pop up right on the phone call or on the zoom call or whatever. And then they bring it up and then they tell you, oh Jessica, I didn't tell you. And I'm like, no, I didn't. Yeah. That's true. I don't, because that's something you told me. Mm-hmm <affirmative> and see, no, see medicine don't don't tell anyone. Or like, I don't, I don't, I still don't. Mm. I already a hundred percent assume get ES and it stays here.
Speaker 1 00:26:27 Okay. Yeah. See, but it's not like I can not, not withhold sensitive information. I, I mean, I worked as a medical assistant. Well,

Speaker 2 00:26:35 You know, like you signed a paper, you don't sign a paper in
Speaker 1 00:26:38 Friendship. And the congregation that I help with, I deal with sensitive matters. And I like, you know, keep those secrets and like I'm divulging them. I think with this one, I wasn't aware of the circumstances. Mm. Like, Hey, I thought like everything within the circle was meant to be shared Equis, you know? Oh no. Beto was one time. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:26:57 And, and I think they all know now that no, I don't tell you everything. Yeah. They, their thing. And sometimes there's
Speaker 1 00:27:07 Not
Speaker 2 00:27:08 Part of the circle. You are part of the circle, but I'm not, that's not, that's not how I wrote.
