Welcome, welcome, welcome to Armchair Anonymous. Mani, this is a good one. Obsession. You were a little skeptical. You were a little worried. I was. I was afraid it would sound like people telling you about their dreams, which is the worst experience anyone can have. And as a PSA to everyone, don't make anyone sit through your dreams. They didn't happen. Listen, I just told someone about it. I know. I did too, I did too, and this is a PSA to me as well. It's so tempting, but you might as well Just go like, hey, I just thought of 400 random numbers. Want to hear it? No. 16, eight, three. Dreams like the Sim, well.
There's a song about it. ♪ Dreams can come true ♪ ♪ Look at me baby I'm with you ♪ - And they tell you about your thoughts. So I think it's interesting. - Well be careful 'cause your thoughts lead. - Do your words, your words lead to your actions, your actions lead to your character. - Wow. - Yeah, yeah. - Okay, so dreams are important, talk about it. - Oh. Okay, so this is crazy simulation moments, and although I was nervous about that, what I didn't anticipate is these stories. Do happen in real life. So they're not completely made up at all. And I gotta be honest. With you. All these I agree are very, very strong. They're really fun. They're really, really fun. The last story is one of my faves. - We're uncovering a whole mystery. - Yeah. - Okay. Well, please enjoy crazy simulation moments.
*music* Oh, wonderful. We can hear you. Is it Leah? Yeah. Oh my goodness, Leah. What's this exciting blanket you have just at shoulder length. I'm doing this in the spiritual room or the prayer room at my school because I don't have wifi. - I'm at my house right now and I wasn't about to mess with hotspots and stuff for this. Smart. - We'll try to make this a spiritual experience. - This is my church. Listening to armchair expert is my spirituality. Oh Lord, that's so flattering. Well, what kind of school are you at? That has a spiritual room. I like this. I'm in med school in Idaho
Oh, and I know. But I'm actually leaving. I'm headed to the Hamptons for my third year. Oh, wow. Oh my gosh, you're gonna finish school in the Hamptons? - Thank you, I don't know anything about it. I'm really going in blind. - Well, you're gonna bump into Billy Joel and Howard Stern and you name it. - Fingers crossed. - That's fun. - That would be one place we could relocate the show to - Enough guests. 'Cause we can't really leave LA. - Don't leave LA. I grew up in Manhattan Beach. - Oh, no way. - Oh, and you are anxious to come home and be a doctor there? - Yeah. - You wanna work at Cedars? - Wow, you really hit the nail. I mean it's the best hospital. I worked for Curlin-Jobe for three years. Are you familiar? No. Curlin-Jobe? You would think I would know that yeah with all of your injuries separation surgeries and stuff But if you had them done at Cedars, then I probably know the docs that did it Well, the doctor who's done the most
Surgeries on me I think for at this point is dr. Della Mejaro, and he's the sexiest Do you know who that is? I've heard that name before. Oh, he's so fucking attractive. It's crazy Maybe you can work at the news Cedars near our house. - Oh, then you can operate on Monica. She sometimes needs earrings removed. - Yeah. - Yes. I think there's gonna be a surgery for. - Your cholesterol. - Yeah, exactly. - Cut it right out, yes. I just read Peter Attia's book, and he has a section there, sorry, we're going back to the spiritual room. I like this, it stuck with me. Place kind of emotional treatment center and he noticed in the kitchen there was a sign that said religion is for people Who are afraid of hell. Spirituality is for people who have been to hell. Ooh, I like that. And I was like, Ooh, I like that. And I'll put myself in the latter category. Is the sim moment other than the one you're currently in right now, probably? When I told my best friend that I was gonna be on this, she was like, 'Is the sim that you and Monica are the same person and that--'
