you gotta do, okay, I...

it's important to share that,

that though I know that
this is not ideal,

suited to adjust

'cause you've done a

[gentle somber music]

369
00:17:51,530 --> 00:17:53,230
Hey, and, and just to
review the facts,

370
00:17:53,260 --> 00:17:55,850
you know, I- I've eaten
folate-rich foods

371
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,650
for like months now,
and I have done,

372
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,410
or, or, or not done everything
that was in the packet

373
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,030
in those videos and, and,
and even

374
00:18:03,060 --> 00:18:05,410
those two podcast
episodes you sent.

375
00:18:05,450 --> 00:18:06,450
And you know, we've
only been here

376
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,450
for like, like 30 minutes.

377
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,420
So despite the window being
really tight, I- I know,

378
00:18:11,450 --> 00:18:13,490
but maybe we could take
the pressure off

379
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,520
and, and try to do this right,

380
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,080

know, rather than rushed.

And also a quick update.

383
00:18:27,290 --> 00:18:30,880
Uh, I think I'm gonna
change into my other shorts.

384
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,580
Uh, they're still loose-fitting
and, and, and breathable.

385
00:18:33,610 --> 00:18:34,850
It's just that,

386

it's just the backside of

really scratchy.

389
00:18:46,870 --> 00:18:49,010
And, and I- I think that,

390
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,420
compiled with how nervous I am,

really, really well,

was the first girl-

- Uh, to, to see me naked?

- From high school?

- Yeah, uh, the one that
was in the class below us?

411
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:49,030
I mean, my mom and my grandma,
you know,

412
00:19:49,070 --> 00:19:51,030
they used to bathe me
in our, our kitchen sink

413
00:19:51,070 --> 00:19:52,660
when, when I was a baby
and all the relatives

would come in and say-
- Ben? Ben?

- "Nice kitchen."

- Ben, can you fix

00:19:55,310 --> 00:19:56,310
your situation?

00:19:56,350 --> 00:19:57,560

know, it's just the novelty

425
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,580
of it all, being the
first grandkid,

426
00:20:17,610 --> 00:20:18,820
and so it's just this spectacle,

427
00:20:18,850 --> 00:20:22,100
so it doesn't really count,
but yeah,

428
00:20:22,130 --> 00:20:25,590
that Margaret Vickers,
she's the one.

429

- Wasn't she autistic?

- Still is, or, well, or,
or something going on there.

00:20:30,180 --> 00:20:31,070
You know, it wasn't
really polite

432
00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:33,590
to ask back in the '90s.

433
00:20:33,630 --> 00:20:36,150
I mean, now everyone's
just deciding that they're,

But not really
putting in any work.

437
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:44,780
You know, but, uh, back then

438
00:20:44,810 --> 00:20:47,500
I- I was always
working out early,

439
00:20:47,540 --> 00:20:50,680
uh, for wrestling
practice and...

440
00:20:50,710 --> 00:20:51,920
See, I had a hard time
making weight

441
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,960
on account of my
slow metabolism.

442
00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:56,550
Wait, i- is that gonna be a
problem, my, my slow metabolism?

443
00:20:56,580 --> 00:20:58,650
- Oh, Ben, it's fine. There's
so many good things about you.

444
00:20:58,690 --> 00:21:01,210
Metabolism isn't really...

445
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,790
- Uh, you know, some, some
of it's in, in my head.

446
00:21:02,830 --> 00:21:04,900
Like, I have these persistent,
"I'm just always gonna be

447
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:06,700
so husky," thoughts.
- I- I- I- I can deal

448
00:21:06,730 --> 00:21:07,560
with metabolism.
- If you need

449
00:21:07,590 --> 00:21:09,210
to get somebody else,
I understand.

450
00:21:09,250 --> 00:21:10,460
- Ben?

451
00:21:10,490 --> 00:21:15,010
I can handle a whole hell of
a lot, and you are not a lot.

00:21:15,050 --> 00:21:15,980
Hm.

00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:24,130
Should I?

455
00:21:25,090 --> 00:21:29,750

wanna hear my nudey story?

[Fran exhales deeply]

457
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,030
You, well, I'm like a junior

458
00:21:32,070 --> 00:21:33,480
and I'm running before
school a lot,

459
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,210
and, uh, I'm, I'm not
really covering up

460
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,760
when I walk from the
shower to my locker,

461
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,350
and Margaret Vickers, she
walks in to the locker room

462
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:41,660
looking for Coach Russo,

463
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:43,490
and, and sees me, bam!

464
00:21:44,530 --> 00:21:47,220
You know, full raw
chicken there.

465
00:21:47,250 --> 00:21:51,530
You know, me, you know,
but not so slim shady.

466
00:21:51,570 --> 00:21:53,050
Well, referencing my waist,
you know,

467
00:21:53,090 --> 00:21:55,640
n- nothing in regards to girth.

468
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,300
And her eyes get real big

469
00:21:59,330 --> 00:22:01,990
and, and she just runs out,
crying.

470
00:22:02,030 --> 00:22:04,820
Coach Russo, he found her
later by the dodge balls.

471
00:22:04,860 --> 00:22:06,720
He tried to keep it real
hush-hush, you know?

472
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:07,550
But Jeremy Metzker-

473
00:22:07,580 --> 00:22:09,930
- Oh! God, Jeremy Metzker?

474
00:22:09,970 --> 00:22:12,140
- Yeah. Yeah, and that guy?
- Ugh.

475
00:22:12,170 --> 00:22:13,210
- Well, he found out.

476
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,560
And, and so he announced
to the entire lunchroom

477
00:22:15,590 --> 00:22:18,150
that my genitals made
Margaret Vickers cry.

478
00:22:18,180 --> 00:22:20,040
And, and, and then he
got the entire lunchroom

479
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,700
to stand up and slow clap, like
the end of a football movie.

480
00:22:22,740 --> 00:22:24,460
[hands clapping]

481
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:27,090
And she just looked, but
she just runs out weeping.

482
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:28,810
- I- I don't remember that.

483
00:22:28,850 --> 00:22:30,430
That must have been terrible.

484
00:22:30,470 --> 00:22:34,230
- No, it, it, it was,
it was fine. She was...

485
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,200
Well, you know, I mean,
it, it's hard to tell

486
00:22:38,230 --> 00:22:43,030
if the weeping was on account
of the clapping or my penis.

487
00:22:45,690 --> 00:22:48,730
I've always kinda leaned penis.

488
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:49,590
- Huh!

489
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,490
- But she, I mean, she was fine.

490
00:22:52,530 --> 00:22:54,910
I mean, she asked me to prom
later that spring, you know?

491
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:57,840
- Oh, yeah, I- [sighs]
I forgot that you two,

492
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,290
a, no, after we, um, yeah.

493
00:23:00,330 --> 00:23:02,190
- And see, her mom,
she, she wanted her home

494
00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:05,470
by like 9:30, so we danced
every dance we could,

495
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:08,990
and then I, well, I- I
took her back,

496
00:23:09,020 --> 00:23:13,270
and then I just went home
and just skipped the rest.

497
00:23:14,550 --> 00:23:17,480
So Margaret Vickers was like
the first non-family member

498
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,240
to see me au naturel.

499
00:23:20,830 --> 00:23:21,930
- Oh.

500
00:23:21,970 --> 00:23:26,140
- Then there was a
considerable gap till somebody.

501
00:23:26,180 --> 00:23:28,180
Just a few years. A few.

502
00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:32,700
Eight.

503
00:23:32,740 --> 00:23:34,390
- Eight?
- Yeah.

504
00:23:34,430 --> 00:23:35,740
- Oh! Oh, eight.

505
00:23:37,740 --> 00:23:41,230
- Well, some people call me
a late bloomer. [chuckles]

506
00:23:41,260 --> 00:23:42,090
What, moi?

507
00:23:45,850 --> 00:23:47,130
Maurice.
- Yeah.

508
00:23:47,170 --> 00:23:48,440
- It's Steve Miller.

509
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,620
Gosh, sorry, I'm always
doing these bad impressions.

510
00:23:50,650 --> 00:23:52,310
I'm so bad at them.
It's Steve Miller.

511
00:23:52,340 --> 00:23:54,690
And I'm just like grasping
for these different things

512
00:23:54,730 --> 00:23:56,380
to try to make sense of
what's going on.

513
00:23:56,420 --> 00:23:58,250
And it doesn't make any sense.

514
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,140
That was my Steve Miller.

515
00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:00,520
- I, yeah, I remember.

516
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,010
- The song or like how I am?

517
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:02,870
- Both.

518
00:24:03,730 --> 00:24:04,530
- Oh.

519
00:24:07,190 --> 00:24:10,430
[Ben chuckles]

520
00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:12,740
But then you, you know, were,
were like

521
00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:16,260
almost the first
person to see me

522
00:24:16,300 --> 00:24:17,850
in like three or four years,

523
00:24:17,890 --> 00:24:19,610
uh, but, but with an
asterisk going,

524
00:24:19,650 --> 00:24:21,230
'cause we were saved by
this T-shirt I got

525
00:24:21,270 --> 00:24:23,930
from running a 5K during
one of my, you know,

526
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,100
self-improvement kicks.

527
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:27,070
So I guess it's a good
thing I lost all that weight

528
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:29,380
and then put some back on,
then lost it, put back.

529
00:24:29,410 --> 00:24:32,760
[vocalizing] and then
[vocalizing].

530
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,870
You know? Just, uh. [sighs]

531
00:24:36,910 --> 00:24:39,180
So do you, do you wanna, like,
talk about, like, next steps?

532
00:24:39,220 --> 00:24:40,460
- [gasps] Yes!
- Okay.

533
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:41,390
[Fran exclaims]

534
00:24:41,430 --> 00:24:42,840
Oh, okay.

535
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,980
[bright upbeat music]

536
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:58,410
[bright upbeat music continues]

537
00:25:01,690 --> 00:25:04,310
Thanks for, uh, meeting
with me today. [chuckles]

538
00:25:04,350 --> 00:25:06,900
- Thanks for meeting
with me too.

539
00:25:06,940 --> 00:25:10,250
- Hey! Hey, you, you, you
got this, huh?

540
00:25:11,660 --> 00:25:14,150
I'm sorry, you, we, we got it.

541
00:25:17,570 --> 00:25:22,300
- Okay, so refractory-wise,
we still have a window,

542
00:25:22,330 --> 00:25:25,370
kind of, to make our
three goals.

543
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,370
But if we aren't able
to, in the next hour,

544
00:25:29,410 --> 00:25:31,960
we can roll back to two

545
00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:35,580
[sighs] deposits,

546
00:25:35,620 --> 00:25:37,410
as an adaptive schedule
and still get you

547
00:25:37,450 --> 00:25:39,800
to your flight on time.

548
00:25:39,830 --> 00:25:42,140
It'd be tight, but enough time.

549
00:25:42,180 --> 00:25:43,700
I gave us a day and a
half to allow

550
00:25:43,730 --> 00:25:45,460
for the unexpected, um...

551
00:25:45,490 --> 00:25:46,700
- Uh, contingencies?

552
00:25:46,730 --> 00:25:47,980
- Exactly.

553
00:25:48,010 --> 00:25:50,600
- Uh, quality over quantity.

554
00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:54,470
- Uh, more quality quantity,
is what we're aiming for,

555
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:56,160
but, but yeah, yeah.

556
00:25:58,230 --> 00:26:02,270
- Oh, um, my, my, my
doctor, he gave me some, um,

557
00:26:03,540 --> 00:26:05,550
generic helpers.

558
00:26:05,580 --> 00:26:07,170
[vocalist humming]
[quirky bright music]

559
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,310
You know, in case?

560
00:26:09,340 --> 00:26:11,140
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Take that now.

561
00:26:11,170 --> 00:26:15,900
[vocalist humming]
[quirky bright music]

562
00:26:15,940 --> 00:26:17,040
[pills rattling]

563
00:26:17,070 --> 00:26:18,390
- Got 'em!

564
00:26:18,420 --> 00:26:19,420
[vocalist humming]
[quirky bright music]

565
00:26:19,460 --> 00:26:21,250
[pill bottle clattering]

566
00:26:21,290 --> 00:26:22,460
I got. I got.

567
00:26:22,490 --> 00:26:23,290
- Is everything all right?

568
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,080
- Got it.
- Oh, okay.

569
00:26:26,150 --> 00:26:28,670
Ben? Oh!
[Ben coughs]

570
00:26:28,710 --> 00:26:31,260
[Ben exclaims]

571
00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:32,920
- It just went down the wrong,

572
00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:34,190
it just went down
the wrong pipe.

573
00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:35,780
- Okay.
- I have a,

574
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,580
I have a somewhat
lazy epiglottis.

575
00:26:39,610 --> 00:26:40,680
- Oh!
- It's, it's a condition,

576
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,200
not a critique, it's. [gulps]

577
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,310
- Yeah.
- Just do the best you can.

578
00:26:44,340 --> 00:26:45,550
- [Fran] Take your time,
maybe stop drinking

579
00:26:45,590 --> 00:26:46,690
for a little bit.

580
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,550
[slow bright music]
[vocalist humming]

581
00:26:48,590 --> 00:26:51,000
[chair creaks]
[gentle dramatic music]

582
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,730
- [coughs] Yeah, but
it should work.

583
00:26:53,770 --> 00:26:55,800
[panting] I mean, I tested
it, but a while back,

584
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,080
it's not, uh, like,
ruin the sabbatical, so.

585
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:01,050
- Good.

586
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,220
- I'm just not sure if that's,

587
00:27:04,260 --> 00:27:07,060
I'm not sure if that's
really the issue,

588
00:27:07,090 --> 00:27:08,820
uh, right now.

589
00:27:08,850 --> 00:27:10,510
[gentle bright upbeat music]

590
00:27:10,540 --> 00:27:13,160
- Okay. Uh, is it the magazines?

591
00:27:15,340 --> 00:27:16,480
- No!
- Be- because if it's

592
00:27:16,510 --> 00:27:18,690
a special type of, uh, media,

593
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,970
this is a no-judgment
zone, Ben, we got this.

594
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:21,790
Okay?
- No, those are,

595
00:27:21,830 --> 00:27:22,860
they're, they're fine.

596
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:26,490
Yeah, I mean, I know that
can elicit, you know,

597
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,110
like initiate a, a
physiological response,

598
00:27:29,150 --> 00:27:30,290
but no, this is, you know,

599
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,770
maybe just something more
going on up here

600
00:27:32,810 --> 00:27:37,780
that's getting in the way
of this working. [panting]

601
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,540
- Is it like sleep-related
or, or stressed?

602
00:27:41,570 --> 00:27:43,640
- Maybe some, some. I mean,
I have a CPAP machine.

603
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,160
I'm a little young for it,
but uh.

604
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,060
- Do you need to use that?

605
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:50,270
- No, I- I'm not tired.

606
00:27:50,310 --> 00:27:51,550
And besides, I didn't, I
didn't bring it,

607
00:27:51,580 --> 00:27:53,100
I didn't want it to get
ruined at the airport,

608
00:27:53,140 --> 00:27:54,760
or look like one of those guys,
you know,

609
00:27:54,790 --> 00:27:57,450
sporting a gray,
soft-sided cooler,

610
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,380
full of their personal yogurts,

611
00:27:59,420 --> 00:28:02,560
and struggling to get it
in the overhead bin, so.

612
00:28:02,590 --> 00:28:04,010
- Are you stressed?

613
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,150
- Yeah, but I- I
don't think stress

614
00:28:05,180 --> 00:28:07,810
is like the, the real deal with.

615
00:28:09,390 --> 00:28:10,980
- No.
- Even when I'm home,

616
00:28:11,020 --> 00:28:13,090
you know?
[quirky upbeat music]

617
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:14,710
Like, uh, you know?

618
00:28:17,190 --> 00:28:21,060
Like, uh, using, using
the self checkout aisle.

619
00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:22,860
- Yeah.
- If I'm stressed

620
00:28:22,890 --> 00:28:24,410
everything kinda works out, so.

621
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,690
- Gotcha.
- I don't,

622
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,620
I- I think we're, we, we should
be good here, or, or there.

623
00:28:30,660 --> 00:28:31,690
- Great.
- You know, it's,

624
00:28:31,730 --> 00:28:34,310
it's probably most likely
like a mental thing,

625
00:28:34,350 --> 00:28:35,520
than something like biological.

626
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:36,800
Hey, I mean, I'm a late bloomer,

627
00:28:36,830 --> 00:28:38,870
so I- I got a lot in the tank,
so.

628
00:28:38,910 --> 00:28:41,220
- Ben, Ben, hey, let's just,

629
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,260
let's just sit here and,
and breathe and calm down,

630
00:28:46,290 --> 00:28:50,400
and we'll, we'll, uh. [panting]

631
00:28:50,430 --> 00:28:52,540
[quirky upbeat music]

632
00:28:52,570 --> 00:28:53,890
Is there something I
can do to help?

633
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,300
- No, you're doing great.
