00:00hello welcome to the after show uh please like and subscribe before you start listening
00:06we'll wait okay thank you the after show sounds so raunchy like back in the day like we should
00:16have saxophones playing and stuff like skinamax and you know oh my god not skinamax half the show
00:23i always thought they were gonna go a little further than they went
00:28that's why kids now are so jacked up back then like it was like delayed gratification for things
00:35you know yeah now you just get up on your phone and you're just like zoom in in between the legs
00:40and stuff back then it was like is that the side of never mind if you didn't have skin uh cinamax
00:45and you could only see the squiggly lines and you had to kind of like decipher what was happening
00:51i had such a it built imagination right it did oh come on pebbles you know what i did it with
00:59skinamax and i did it absolutely and i did it with like wrestling pay-per-views oh yeah my parents
01:04didn't buy them all so like i would i think that's why my eyes went bad for a while because like it
01:11was trying to focus yeah you like fix the distortion you start creating an image out of
01:16distortion you know the audio was perfect so you can hear it that was the thing they didn't think
01:22to blur out the audio it was like we're gonna we're gonna give you the squiggly lines but you
01:26can still hear what's happening yeah they didn't think to not you know you all didn't read books
01:31did you no not like i probably should have but no i mean define reading a book i mean i read
01:37sometimes i read like assigned reading but never yeah exactly like never for recreation now i do right
01:44now i do i'm glad i'm glad not as a not as a youngster i remember the first time i read a book
01:49that like had sex in it and i was like maybe i'll start reading books right like it's surprising how
01:56it's like oh but i like the visual uh yeah you know yeah so so pebble speaking of reading books
02:04she uh revealed that right now she's reading so you know how you have comfort shows and stuff like
02:10that you know um or a comfort movie you know now that's the holiday season i like there's a lot of
02:16like christmas movies that i love to watch yes um but she has a comfort book that she reads i do
02:23i do i mean it's the same concept as a comfort movie or a comfort you know show or whatever
02:34it's like i get it but i don't get it i was about to say i agree but i disagree because you know the
02:40comfort show or the comfort movie depending on the length of it we're looking at anywhere from a half
02:45hour to maybe two two hours or whatever and then you're comforted a comfort book is like you gotta
02:50commit now you're like i need to be comforted for the next couple of weeks depending on how much
02:55right it's a it's a longer commitment than just a half an hour or but that's not i mean shouldn't
03:04anything that brings you comfort like honestly i've read this book a million times like it it came
03:11out in 2012 it's the fault in our stars by john green and it's about a girl that has cancer yep
03:18teenage girl which that brings you comfort which does not seem like she survive which does not seem
03:26like she dies i did not say she dies no i'm not going to give anything away but it is a very
03:33comforting book in the themes and the values it's just it's it's an incredible incredible book see when
03:44i read books most of the time i can't visualize it in my mind no are you serious it literally is just
03:54words oh just and that's why it's a struggle but there are some books where that does happen
04:00but 95 96 percent of the time i don't have such outrage from people when the book doesn't you know
04:08so i was one right so you see it you visualize yeah i just can't believe that you don't i've never
04:13heard that's crazy i didn't think anybody did people didn't like i've heard of like people who
04:18think differently like some people are verbal thinkers i'm more like in my head i'm hearing
04:23thoughts some people are more like they they pictures they get i more hear stuff but like as
04:30far as reading yeah like pebbles was saying like there's whenever there's like a movie or something
04:34that comes out according to a book some people get mad because they're like that's not what blank
04:38look like and it's like that's not what blank looks like in your head but you know someone else will be
04:42like yeah that's that's kind of like what i pictured you know but what the hell that's crazy
04:47i see that disorder i see it with uh with music oh i can i can listen to all types of music because
04:54i visualize i don't but from reading i what what do you you visualize like what notes no it's like uh
05:02it could be a scene it could be a moment from the past it could be the future it could be yeah it
05:08it could be an entire movie scene that doesn't exist but i create in my head due to the music
05:13yeah me too do you sometimes picture yourself doing the scenes not not really not really but
05:20take like uh symphony music which a lot of people find boring but i'll listen to it and i might visualize
05:26i might see someone or something flying through the clouds and see i don't visualize but just not
05:32with books but i definitely get emotional like i definitely tune into different emotions from music
05:40but but to think usually it's just like if i've seen a music video that goes with the song or if it
05:49was in a movie like that scene will go through my head but like on my own i don't think that's ever
05:56happened i will visualize an entire video movie scene that doesn't exist i'll create it in my
06:04head to certain songs it's awesome what are you talking about i'm trying to think if i do that
06:08so if you're shocked that i don't see something when reading a book and pebbles does why are you
06:15shocked that she finds comfort in it well because of the time commitment you know what i'm saying like
06:20i when i think of comfort stuff it's usually like you want something to comfort you
06:24in pretty much as little time as possible you know what i'm saying so what with the book i'm like
06:30damn now you got to read up to a certain point then you got to commit again tomorrow like you're
06:34you're making the the crappy emotions kind of like linger because you have to finish the book
06:39oh my and you know what's funny he says it like it's a bad thing but you know what going back to the
06:44question you just asked romero i think that there's a difference in music and books like well i guess
06:53if there's lyrics i understand that because with i mean books are lyrical i mean it's writing it's
07:01whatever but you're talking about just music like instrumentals too correct yeah see that's different
07:08for me because it's laid out when you have a book like they'll explain what a scene looks like or
07:15whatever and then your imagination takes it to another level but to see music i'm gonna have to
07:23try it i really am now i feel like i need to try i listen to miles davis on the way in and i know
07:28there's people will be like miles davis and i don't listen to miles davis on a regular basis
07:33but i caught some last night and then i listened to it on the way into work and i literally visualize
07:39being in a coffee shop and like you know sipping on coffee it's like things like that and i just drove
07:44in my i got a vivid imagination i'm talking about like i'll visualize like let's say if it's like a hard
07:49rock song or something i'll visualize like like a zombie movie and i'm like in a mall getting chased
07:57and then all you know with the people and then i end up rescuing everybody by fighting off the
08:01oh it's the absolute most vivid interest ridiculous oh but because that's enough let's say four to five
08:09minute span you think that makes sense when it comes to comfort but not a book reading because
08:15it takes so much i don't do it for comfort it's just i do it because i'm crazy but no the comfort
08:20thing is it's literally just that and also the reading like i like self-help books and stuff like
08:25that and i'll go back and read certain chapters or passages but like uh a story yes i don't think i've
08:37ever read a book more than once like uh that's that's like yeah like i love the like um oh my god
08:45what's his name uh da vinci code da vinci code oh my god yes hey you were reading my mind you talk
08:49about it yeah and by the way he has a new book that i it's in my queue the next thing i'm going to read
08:53but i love that guy's books i just i read them once and then i'm good really yeah i'll finish it and
08:59be like that was freaking amazing i'll recommend it to everybody but i'll never go back and read it again
09:04see i with this book i felt like i needed i've just this year's been really like it's just felt
09:12very chaotic and you know i'm a reader but i have read very few books this year and so as the years
09:19like closing out i'm just sitting here like god i haven't read that much and you know i'm feeling
09:24kind of crazy with the holidays and i'm like i feel like i need something to ground me and so i felt
09:30like i need to go back to this book and usually like when i read it i'm like flying through it
09:35because i love the story so much but this time i'm like reading a chapter and then like waiting and
09:43like i'm trying to just like read a chapter before bed or whatever and you talk about like the self-help
09:49books or whatever like these are like self-help to me too like as i'm reading it this is the copy that
09:56i've been reading forever and i have underlined quotes and just different lines that resonate
10:02with me and it's funny that even after all these times i'm going back and adding new things that i
10:09want to let me ask you this do you think there's a difference between reading the same book a million
10:14times and watching the same movie a million times yeah because i like to be shorter yeah but people make
10:21fun of me for watching the same movies a million times but i think so what's the reasoning behind
10:27it and why you do it i think is the same like i think the things that bring you comfort yeah new
10:35comfort and i think with a book you have to be more engaged because you're actually reading yeah
10:40with comfort shows a lot of times people have them in the background noise yes so i think there's a
10:46difference but all but it still kind of gives you that same like oh god i needed this you know yeah
10:53yeah it's like a hug like my books hug i when i have a really special book i hug it at the end
11:01when i'm done with it wow they hug me so i have to hug you pebs you need to make a video of yourself
11:09doing that just do that i do have pictures of myself hugging okay like thanking it yes right
11:15great can i just tell you one more thing about this particular book you don't have to stop i want
11:20to hear more and more no this book is so special to me that every time that i travel somewhere you
11:27know how you get a tattoo wherever you travel i get a book i get this book in the language of where
11:33i am so i have it in spanish i have it in french i have it in dutch i have it in chinese i have it
11:41in and i got it when i went and got it in korea i love that i love it because if you got i mean it'd
11:48be cool if you got like a book just from every place but getting the same book in different
11:52languages i know and the covers are all different and it's like a hunt to get them sometimes yeah like
11:58the one in hong kong that that was like really hard to get but yeah and then my goal is to be
12:04able to read the one in korean in korean once i mean if you can't you can probably like stumble
12:10through it most likely like you're gonna be like okay this is the part where i know you know i know
12:14she gets sick and here's the part where she dies and it's comforting it's one it's like one of my
12:19prized possessions in life were you worried the movie was gonna ruin no i knew i was gonna love it no
12:26matter what and yeah and once i saw the casting i'm like even though they looked very different
12:32i knew i was gonna love it and it was really good and i watched the movie a lot that's great i've
12:40never i'm trying i can't believe you've never read like over and over again except kids books because
12:46i know i'm sure you've read those over and over to the kids yeah it's i think it's a like
12:52not a well i guess if you break it down to the most basic basic basic thing it's like a boredom
12:58thing like i'm like i almost feel like like you already know it yeah in a way it's like even and i
13:05do watch there are movies and stuff that i'll watch like if something's on that i've seen before and
13:10i'm like oh i love this movie i'll put it on but i don't necessarily
13:14like if i'm like oh i'm gonna watch a movie outside of now because it's the holiday season and
13:21we watch a bunch of christmas movies all holidays i don't necessarily go like oh i want to watch this
13:25movie that i've seen a bunch of times over i'd rather i'm more engaged if i'm like okay what's
13:31gonna happen next oh what's he doing but you know what you have to think about and this is for like
13:35for everybody this when you watch a show and you go back especially if you haven't seen it for a while
13:43you're watching it as i don't want to say as a different person but it's who you are right now
13:50like and what you're going through and because i know that from the first time that i read it
13:56it was very it's very different from who i am now and it just even though it brings me the same
14:04comfort it i it feels different it feels different i know it's weird is that the only book you do that
14:11with or do you have others um i can't remember there's probably others that i've read at least
14:18a couple times but this is my one that i read over and over and a lot of people have done it with like
14:24the harry potter books yeah that they've read them over and over and yeah i've even thought now i think
14:31the more i think about it i'm like there are books that were like required reading i guess that when i was
14:36younger that i read and as an adult there there have been instances where i'm like kind of like
14:42where you were saying i'm like i think if i read that book now i would get it more you didn't
14:46appreciate it i didn't because i was kind of like forced to read it and then it turned out to be a
14:50cool story but i always talk myself out of reading it because somewhere deep down i'm like i already
14:55read it but don't you think if you read the da vinci code now when's the last time you read it
15:00oh my god probably when it came out or soon after it first came out yeah like i wonder if
15:06your perspective on it like because you've grown a lot since then if that would have changed how you
15:12feel about it and about the concepts in it or maybe but i'm talking about like when i was like
15:17tale of two cities i'm talking about there was this book that was
15:22have you ever heard of flowers for algernon yeah flowers for algernon yes have you ever heard of
15:28that one leroy melissa you guys i've the name that title yeah it rings a bell to me everyone's
15:34like i remember i was supposed to read it in the summer but i never did that's probably what it is
15:38it was probably on my right my mandatory reading list but i don't think i ever read it it was the
15:42most crazy and that's what that's one that i always think about i'm like should i like reread that
15:47so it was this dude right he was like a special needs dude it was a lady who was doing experiments
15:52on a mouse made the mouse super freaking smart i'm giving her a really short
15:58synopsis of a really good book finds this special needs dude gives him the same um
16:04you know medicine and he starts getting smarter but the book is written from the guy's perspective
16:11right so the beginning of the book it's all like kind of like when a little kid is writing and you
16:16kind of have to like figure out what they're writing because the words are spelled backwards and
16:19the sentences are choppy as the book goes along the grammar starts improving because the dude's
16:25getting smarter yeah then like you know towards like the middle you know middle going to the the
16:31second half of the book freaking the guy's brilliant but he starts noticing that the mouse
16:38is getting dumb again so now as the book goes along you start seeing the grammar deteriorate and all
16:45that stuff and by the end of the book it's as bad as it was in the beginning and i'll i think there
16:49might even be a movie about it but i feel like the movie wouldn't hit as much as the book because of the
16:54way the book was written and the guys they never they never do yeah like unless like the the movie
16:58was narrated by the dude or something it was i remember i read that book and i was like this book
17:02freaking amazing and i was an adult every now and then i'm like i should go back and read that book
17:06because it was really good but and the books are always better than the movies be for this exact same
17:11reason you guys are talking about imagination like as you read it like somebody doesn't have one
17:17though i wouldn't come you know i like uh i've read and i enjoyed like who killed jfk who killed
17:25abraham lincoln books like that more historical historical stuff but if you get fantasy and just
17:31or just i'm like i'm so you all don't read fiction fiction the only fiction i read is dan brown oh that's
17:38it and that's all and i think i like it because it's fiction but he bases it on real things so like
17:44you're like oh if i'm ever in italy i'll go visit blah blah blah blah that thing he's talking about
17:48yeah hang on with you i think james and the giant peach will probably be better if i read it now
17:53compared to in school they made us read it and i was like i don't want to read that you're reading
17:58it like like a job you're like what's the what's the shakespeare what's the one they made everybody
18:04read um romeo and julia romeo and julia and then there was another one there was mcbeth
18:10oh my god that was torture i remember tale of two cities and i'm like this book is long and it
18:17sucks and then at the end i'm like yo the dude sacrificed himself that's crazy anyway um melissa
18:24do you want to chime in with any books that you recommend um i the last book i remember reading
18:31is uh no sports book no uh 50 shades of gray the trilogy you know what she's on to something
18:40because you know what book had my full undivided attention wasn't 50 shades but the superhead book
18:47oh yes i did read that there was a book on time years ago that i forget what the book was but melissa
18:55was like no i'm really gonna read this book and we knew she wasn't gonna read it because it wasn't
18:59like a gossipy book like that so it was a hard cover but like you know how you can like remove
19:06the covers of books oh yeah hard covers we took we took the the cover of that book i think you got
19:12it for me it was a cheer book hard cover yeah she never left her on her desk every day we're like
19:18yo did you read that book yeah you read that book no i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna months went by
19:22and like we're like why do you care so much if i read this book not only did she not read it she
19:26never opened it because she never realized that it wasn't the same book you did read the leah
19:32remini book i did and i also read another book that i believe you got me uh it was like a teenage
19:39love book and i loved it and it was a series and i stopped after the first one but it was a really
19:44good book and i forget the name of it but it was good don't forget to like and subscribe
