And then in nineteen sixties it 255 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 3: turned into a porno theater, and then in the nineteen 256 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 3: eighties it turned into a church, and then in nineteen 257 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 3: nineties it turned into a nightclub, and now it's a 258 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: church again.

On a multicamp. That's 373 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 2: wild because you're basically staging a play and so to 374 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 2: have people not sharing the stage at any point is wild. Yeah, 375 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: so they were just full, Like how would they explain 376 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 2: why they weren't in the same room together. 377 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: It just ran like, oh, she's out of town.

Like it was just but this is all 383 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 3: like that fifth season Wow.

It doesn't matter. We will 390 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 2: run this thing straight into the ground, whereas like right now, 391 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 2: if even the slightest problem goes, they cancel the entire production, 392 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 2: or like we can't do the show anymore. But this 393 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 2: they're just they're not sharing any scene. That's wild. 394 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 3: But those first few seasons are just Martin masterfully just 395 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 3: taking the most mundane moments and turning them into huge production. 396 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 3: But yeah, I wanted you to see this.

I mean I also may 900 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 2: maybe I don't know. This was a listener's suggestion, so 901 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 2: we're really coming from a place of me not having 902 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 2: any idea. 903 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have I don't have ID because I've 904 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 4: never had. 905 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 2: It feels like to me an untouchable dream. And for 906 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 2: that alone, that's a curse. I feel like if I 907 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 2: were to ever have a Kashmir sweater, that's all I'd 908 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:06,720 Speaker 2: be thinking about.

Okay, Okay. 909 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 2: I need a sweater that's a little bit lower, you know, 910 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 2: lower maintenance, something that I can dump coffee all over 911 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,439 Speaker 2: and not freak out.

I bought a sweater used, not 920 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 2: a Kashmir sweater, a wolf sweater a couple of years ago. 921 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 2: I was so thrilled about it and immediately put it 922 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 2: through the wash and it was like a bad sitcom, 923 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 2: like shrunk to like a baby's size. And oh no, 924 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,839 Speaker 2: I've just been afraid of owning a sweater ever since 925 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 2: in Kashmir.

It is very annoying. 930 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 5: You have to swirl it around in a tub for 931 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 5: thirty seconds, let it soak in warm water for thirty minutes, 932 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 5: then drain the dirty water and rinse it with cool, 933 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,959 Speaker 5: clean water. So this is even worse than I thought 934 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 5: it was.

That is a flex, but 1003 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,320 Speaker 2: this is the sort of flex that is driving candle 1004 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 2: prices through the roof. Yeah, Drake's got to stop. He's 1005 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 2: got to go for a more moderately sized candle. In 1006 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 2: my opinion, I mean, shit, he made me go buy one. 1007 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 2: So he's he's he's they're doing it. They're yeah, well, okay, Carl, 1008 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 2: We've got to get back to the game because I 1009 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,320 Speaker 2: have to reveal that you're wrong again. I can't believe 1010 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 2: what's happening here, Carl. Of course, say's just a gift. 1011 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 2: I'm sorry you've got this built in childhood trauma, but 1012 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 2: you've got to look past that. I think it's most wonderful. 1013 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 2: Its a little bit outdoorsy, but just nice enough that 1014 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 2: it's like it's like the most fragrant campfire you could 1015 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 2: possibly have. Who could ask for more. All right, I'll 1016 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 2: burn it again after we get off the phone. Here, 1017 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 2: burn it again, give it a shot. Maybe it's like 1018 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:04,319 Speaker 2: an acquired smell taste. Is that a thing were like 1019 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,640 Speaker 2: eventually something smells good to you? I can't say for sure. Unfortunately, 1020 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 2: Carl is just falling on his face time and time. 1021 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 2: A gift. Let's give it one final shot to at 1022 00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 2: least not have a total nightmare. Okay, this one gift 1023 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:30,919 Speaker 2: or a curse? Burger King gift gift gift? Okay, let's 1024 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 2: ask you reasoning fast food is a gift. 1025 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:35,240 Speaker 4: Let me tell you something. 1026 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 3: There is nothing more consistent than the burger King long 1027 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,360 Speaker 3: chicken sandwich is long. 1028 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 2: You just keep taking bites of it, a whopper with cheese. 1029 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,720 Speaker 3: Burger King fries underrated, although they did change the recipe recently. 1030 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,520 Speaker 4: Burking are underrated. 1031 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 2: What if they're done with their fries recently? What are 1032 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:55,439 Speaker 2: they now? 1033 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,799 Speaker 3: Just a different it's just different. They ain't the same 1034 00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 3: as when we were kids, but they used to rival. 1035 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 3: People would say, oh. 1036 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,280 Speaker 2: Mcdonnald's got the best fries. Bur King had pretty good fries, 1037 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 2: and you got the flame broil. 1038 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 1: Uh. 1039 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,919 Speaker 2: And then the Dutch apple pie, which I lived. 1040 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 3: In Amsterdam for a year and they had never heard 1041 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 3: of the Dutch apple pie. 1042 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 2: It wasn't saying what is a Dutch apple pie? 1043 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,759 Speaker 4: You know it's the it's got the apple cent. 1044 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 3: Instead of a lattice top or just a regular top, 1045 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 3: it's got the crumble top. 1046 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 2: Oh right, right, right right, So it's like sugar and butter. 1047 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:32,240 Speaker 3: Yes, Burger can't introduce that to us. They got tacos, 1048 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 3: now ghetto tacos. They got onion rings. They always like 1049 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 3: to sneak a little onion ring in your fries, you know, 1050 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,359 Speaker 3: even if you don't order, you get an onion ring 1051 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:46,440 Speaker 3: in there. They got mozzarella sticks, jalapeno Popper's. Burger King 1052 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 3: is doing it right. Also, the King is a funny character. 1053 00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go ahead and say gift and if 1054 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 3: this is if I lose this one, I am. 1055 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 4: I am through. 1056 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 2: Carl prepared a storm out of the podcast. I thinks 1057 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,839 Speaker 2: Burger King is an absolute curse. Oh my gosh, how 1058 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 2: dare you look? Burger King has got to get it together. 1059 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,480 Speaker 2: This restaurant is trying everything in its power. I think 1060 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,200 Speaker 2: their menu changes every single day. I think they're adding 1061 00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 2: a new product faster than anyone could possibly imagine. Look, 1062 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 2: I have no problem with fast food. I'll eat it 1063 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,839 Speaker 2: essentially any I will eat garbage. Burger King has got 1064 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 2: to just decide on a menu and focus on making something. 1065 00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,400 Speaker 2: Burger King is probably the last restaurant where I got 1066 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 2: halfway through a meal and said, I can't eat any 1067 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 2: more of this. I'm throwing this away. 1068 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 3: That's when you know it's good, when you get I 1069 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 3: can't even do it because I know I'm doing wrong. 1070 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 2: I know I'm doing wrong. I'm sinning. I'm sinning right now. 1071 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:44,879 Speaker 2: I was doing the. 1072 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 3: Exact same thing last week because I went to Burger 1073 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,759 Speaker 3: King with my cousin. And hopefully his girlfriend doesn't listened 1074 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 3: to this, because she's gonna be mad, because he was 1075 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 3: in the car with me. We would both send up 1076 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 3: in his car eating bacon Kings and bacon king is 1077 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 3: the is the new meal that they got that is 1078 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,280 Speaker 3: just a double cheeseburger with mayonnaise and ketchup and loaded 1079 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:03,760 Speaker 3: with bacon. 1080 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 2: Oh that sounds wonderful. 1081 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 4: I got through half of it and I said, oh, 1082 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 4: we know we're doing wrong. 1083 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 2: We know we live in foul. 1084 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 3: We live in foul in this car right now, and 1085 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 3: he was like, Yeah, I'm gonna have to leave my 1086 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,120 Speaker 3: trash in here because I can't take this into the 1087 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:17,880 Speaker 3: house to throw in front of my girlfriend. 1088 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 2: Oh, he's essentially cheating on a scroll. Girlfriend. Look, you 1089 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 2: know you just described this wonderful hamburger. It's probably no 1090 00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 2: longer on the Burger King menu. This is what is 1091 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,320 Speaker 2: going on. You cannot count on Burger King or anything. 1092 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 2: This restaurant's out of control. It feels like the ultimate 1093 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,799 Speaker 2: identity crisis. I mean, you know, times are tough, but 1094 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:42,960 Speaker 2: and you gotta do what you can do. But I 1095 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:47,280 Speaker 2: feel like Burger King they must have high employee turnover. 1096 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 2: It like at the top of the company, because they've 1097 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,600 Speaker 2: got a new direction every four hours. As far as 1098 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,399 Speaker 2: I'm concerned, probably, and this long chicken, I've never had 1099 00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 2: the long chicken. How do you get chicken that long? 1100 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 2: You gotta pound it out. Something suspicious is going on 1101 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:06,440 Speaker 2: at for a Hurricade, Carl, You've just failed the game. 1102 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you. It breaks my heart. 1103 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 2: I thought you would get one out of them. 1104 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 4: Three strikes, canceled, canceled. I'm done for. 1105 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,799 Speaker 2: I warned you you would be canceled and you brought 1106 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 2: it upon yourself. I don't know what to tell you 1107 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,239 Speaker 2: at this point, but we're going to move into the 1108 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,160 Speaker 2: final thing. We have to answer some questions. This is 1109 00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 2: the part of the podcast that's called I said no questions, 1110 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,399 Speaker 2: although maybe it'll become I said no emails. If people 1111 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 2: want to send in. People have been occasionally sending in 1112 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,880 Speaker 2: stories about bad gifts or whatever. If you want to 1113 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:37,799 Speaker 2: do that, do it. But right now we're just going 1114 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,400 Speaker 2: to answer some questions that were sent in to I 1115 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,840 Speaker 2: said no gifts at gmail dot com. The first one says, 1116 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 2: dearis Bridger and disobedient guest. I made a gifting error. 1117 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 2: My lifelong best friend and I have our birthdays just 1118 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 2: two days apart. Four years ago. I flew to New 1119 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 2: York to see her for our birthdays. She got me 1120 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 2: some lovely gifts. Since I was traveling, I didn't bring 1121 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,480 Speaker 2: any gifts for her with me, figuring my presence would 1122 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 2: be good enough and I would send her something later. 1123 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 2: But basically what happened was feelings were hurt. You know, 1124 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 2: there was a tier oh, a turse goodbye outside of 1125 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:19,480 Speaker 2: a comedy club. So things went wrong. But since then 1126 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 2: they've dealt with the problem, and for birthdays and Christmases 1127 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 2: since I have made sure to send plenty of extra thoughtful, personal, 1128 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:31,240 Speaker 2: luxurious gifts on time. My question is, after four years, 1129 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,920 Speaker 2: when can I start to phone it in again and 1130 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,760 Speaker 2: to give just regular gifts. And that's from someone named Katie. 1131 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,440 Speaker 2: So basically, Katie went on vacation to New York to 1132 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,000 Speaker 2: meet her friend for their birthdays. She didn't take a 1133 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:48,319 Speaker 2: single thing. The friend was understandably furious. Now she's like, 1134 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,040 Speaker 2: she's made up for it for four years. When can 1135 00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 2: she stop making up for it? 1136 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 4: I think she can stop now. 1137 00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:57,280 Speaker 2: Four years is enough? 1138 00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, four years is enough for huge gifts. Her friend 1139 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:01,040 Speaker 4: getting hurt. 1140 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 2: That's a good question. It's the friend reciprocating in any way. 1141 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, because if the friend is not reciprocating, if the 1142 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,440 Speaker 3: friend is still kind of upset about that that one year, 1143 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,719 Speaker 3: and because I mean, you gotta understand, I feel like 1144 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 3: that's a little selfish. You got to understand the travel 1145 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,839 Speaker 3: I have a similar story to this. Oh what, I 1146 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:25,920 Speaker 3: went back home for Christmas twenty nineteen going into twenty twenty, 1147 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 3: and the year before that, I went home, but I 1148 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 3: went on the twenty seventh. So it's like, I ain't 1149 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:38,759 Speaker 3: gotta I'm here, I'm gift enough. And it's also my 1150 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 3: dad's side of the family.

It's about an hour 1182 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 3: and an hour and a half. 1183 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:22,880 Speaker 2: On the way. 1184 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 3: There's colds and and things like that.

This could easily 1189 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,560 Speaker 2: just be for you. Yes it besides like the Bottles house. 1190 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:43,840 Speaker 2: I knew I was gonna get my dad something, but 1191 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:45,320 Speaker 2: I'm like, there's other people that should I be shotting 1192 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:45,880 Speaker 2: for these people? 1193 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 3: Turns out I woke up my stepmom had bought me 1194 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:53,360 Speaker 3: a nice outfit. Oh she had, Yeah, and this is 1195 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:57,160 Speaker 3: I'm twenty nine at the time, and she's like, she 1196 00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,520 Speaker 3: bought me a nice outfit. She bought me like my 1197 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 3: brothers had gotten me gift cards and they're much younger 1198 00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,520 Speaker 3: than I am. My dad woke up, took out a 1199 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 3: hundred bucks out of his wallet, threw it on me 1200 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 3: as I was still asleep, said Merry Christmas, and I 1201 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 3: was like, oh, wow, so it's good that I actually 1202 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 3: was able to get all of them gift cards. 1203 00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 2: Wow. So you I felt like this was going to 1204 00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,840 Speaker 2: take a real sad turn where you woke up to nothing. 1205 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,600 Speaker 4: I didn't wake up to another. I was surprised. 1206 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,040 Speaker 3: I think they realized, Like I think my step mom, 1207 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 3: who was thoughtful and caring, was probably like, when is 1208 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:31,760 Speaker 3: Little Call coming home? I'm a little call. When is 1209 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 3: Little Call coming home? Oh, he's going to be here 1210 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,040 Speaker 3: on Christmas morning. Okay, let me get him a sweatsuit 1211 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,480 Speaker 3: because I know he likes those things. And this is 1212 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,320 Speaker 3: not a woman who I interact with often, right, because 1213 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 3: you know when you get it when you gain a 1214 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:46,919 Speaker 3: step mother as an adult, you know I'm not. 1215 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 2: Talking, I mean that's essentially just another adult that like yeah, yeah, 1216 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:51,080 Speaker 2: you know. 1217 00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so I was very surprised. I also get 1218 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 3: scared that I'm over gifted, so I didn't want to 1219 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 3: come in as Hollywood can be, like, you know, what's up, y'all. 1220 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 3: I just broke y'all asses off, you broke bitches like. 1221 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 3: So I was like, Okay, if I get my two 1222 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,720 Speaker 3: brothers each a Nike gift card, they'll enjoy this. I 1223 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:11,439 Speaker 3: get my dad a bottle of some alcohol which he'll 1224 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 3: like this, and a gift card like a fifth a 1225 00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 3: lower priced gift card, right, and then I give my 1226 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,800 Speaker 3: grandma a upper price gift card that's grandma plusn't like 1227 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,040 Speaker 3: maybe a candle or something like that. And I got 1228 00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,840 Speaker 3: everybody things and it all worked out. So I think 1229 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 3: it's the thought that counts. 1230 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 2: It's the thought that counts. Katie. 1231 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:28,840 Speaker 4: You can cut back on the gifts now. 1232 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:30,480 Speaker 3: I believe your friend has take a little bit of 1233 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,560 Speaker 3: responsibility that it is a big task to travel somewhere 1234 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,440 Speaker 3: to see someone, especially for a birthday, not a holiday, 1235 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 3: like it's a birthday. Yes, she did buy you gifts. 1236 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:41,840 Speaker 3: That is very nice of her. You could have maybe 1237 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,240 Speaker 3: taking care of dinner. I think that would have if 1238 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,120 Speaker 3: she was a cool person. She'd have been like, okay, yeah, 1239 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 3: you get dinner. They said they went to a comedy show. 1240 00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 3: If the comedian starts doing CrowdWork, you take the brunt 1241 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:54,200 Speaker 3: of it. 1242 00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,280 Speaker 2: That would be a huge gift for me. Yeah. No, 1243 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,240 Speaker 2: I think that's a good idea. I feel like the 1244 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,320 Speaker 2: the gift that travels is buying the other person dinner. 1245 00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 2: You just buy a few, you know, take them out 1246 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 2: to brunch or whatever. Four years feels like it, I say, 1247 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 2: I mean, I would have said, after one thoughtful gift, 1248 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 2: you're done. So four years, you've really you've essentially served 1249 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 2: a prison sentence exactly. Hopefully everything's okay. It seems like 1250 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,240 Speaker 2: things have been sewn up. Yeah, stop that, stop the 1251 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 2: big gifts, get back. I am an advocate for phoning 1252 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 2: in as soon as possible. Agree the moment you get 1253 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:35,200 Speaker 2: the green Knight to phone in Katie, phone away. Yeah, 1254 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:40,520 Speaker 2: you know, phone kat Yeah. And uh, next time you travel, 1255 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,520 Speaker 2: just think it over a little bit. Uh. And everybody 1256 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,520 Speaker 2: just needs to be a little less sensitive about getting gifts. 1257 00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,840 Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean, I mean, I'm the last 1258 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,400 Speaker 2: person who should be saying these things. I've I've just 1259 00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 2: gotten five seasons of Martin on DVT and I've canceled 1260 00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:59,640 Speaker 2: Carl three times. You know, you just can't listen to 1261 00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:00,640 Speaker 2: anything I say. 1262 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,080 Speaker 4: It's not my love language. I'm gonna be honest, it's not. 1263 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 3: What is your love life receiving gifts is? I think 1264 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,160 Speaker 3: words of affirmation is my loving Oh? 1265 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,960 Speaker 2: Interesting? And I guess that makes sense for what you 1266 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,560 Speaker 2: were saying earlier, Like when someone in public says something 1267 01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,840 Speaker 2: nice to you. Yeah, you're enjoying that. And do you 1268 01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 2: like to give words of love? Yeah, that's a nice thing. 1269 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 2: I mean, I've got I need to. I feel like 1270 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:28,440 Speaker 2: mine is a service. But I could be wrong, and 1271 01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,680 Speaker 2: I've just got to I've got to eventually find out 1272 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,040 Speaker 2: what my love language is or I'm going to just 1273 01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,520 Speaker 2: be kind of stumbling through life anyway, Carl. I'm so 1274 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:41,040 Speaker 2: excited to finally clear up this blind spot of early 1275 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,800 Speaker 2: nineties television that I've had for decades at this point, 1276 01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 2: and it's a wonderful five. I mean, I have nothing 1277 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 2: else going on. It's nice to have a new thing 1278 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 2: to look forward to. Yeah, turn it on, watch it 1279 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,000 Speaker 2: a little bit. If you get tired of it, stop 1280 01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:57,760 Speaker 2: watching it. 1281 01:00:58,760 --> 01:00:59,840 Speaker 4: I think you will enjoy it. 1282 01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:04,720 Speaker 3: I think everybody Martin spoke a universal language in the right. 1283 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:07,480 Speaker 2: It wasn't just a black sitcom. 1284 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,919 Speaker 3: It wasn't just like something that you could write off 1285 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,160 Speaker 3: and just like, I don't have to watch that. That's 1286 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,560 Speaker 3: not meant for me, you know. I think it crossed 1287 01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:19,320 Speaker 3: the aisle. I think his his his comedic the comedic 1288 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 3: force that Martin was spoke volumes, especially during the time, 1289 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 3: and the characters that he plays. The last person that 1290 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 3: could play multiple characters on a sitcom. 1291 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,720 Speaker 2: And you want to see it do that right now? 1292 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 2: I don't want to watch you do that. No, thank you, 1293 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:35,240 Speaker 2: because it's already been done. 1294 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, And so I think I think you were really enjoyed. 1295 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 3: I think it'll be just a fun thing and you 1296 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,920 Speaker 3: can turn on while you're you know, eating a. 1297 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:49,640 Speaker 2: Nice big OL's bowl of cheesecake.
