1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself

2
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests,

4
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: your own presences presence enough. And I already had too

5
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: much stuff.

6
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: So how do you dare to surbey me?

7
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no. Gift temperature Wineger. We're here

8
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 3: in the studio, very early recording. I think maybe the

9
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 3: earliest recording of this podcast ever ten thirty Well it's

10
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 3: ten forty three, but that's seventeen minutes before our usual

11
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: early type of recording. So I'm in a mood. I'm

12
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: in a real mood. What's going on? Let's see, last

13
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: night I saw the new Frankenstein movie, and as you

14
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: might assume, the monster does go down a water slide,

15
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 3: you get to see the Frankenstein's monster go down a

16
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: water slide. I think we need to land on a

17
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: name for Frankenstein's Monster. I don't know there's enough, it's

18
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: enough with all the confusion. What else? I guess we're

19
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: kind of in the holidays now, so I hope you're

20
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 3: enjoying yourself. If you're the sort of person who enjoys themselves.

21
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: What else. I mean, speaking of big events, I spent

22
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: a good deal of the weekend dry heaving. I unfortunately,

23
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: our poor little Bonnie got sick, and I assume a

24
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: lot of people, you know, there's a chance you may

25
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: be eating right now, but there's only a few things

26
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: a sick dog can do. And she went all out

27
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: at three am. The level of dry heaving I was

28
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: doing was Olympic level. I dry heaved myself into another century.

29
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: But that's all in the past, and hopefully we'll leave

30
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 3: it in the past. And I think that's let's see,

31
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: document wise, Do I have any business, Let's see. No,

32
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: we have the Patreon. Just a reminder that there's the Patreon,

33
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: which you go to patreon dot com slash I said,

34
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: no gifts. I mean, just it's an ocean of content

35
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 3: over there. I've become a real producer of content. Bonus

36
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: episodes of the show, episodes of me recapping a variety

37
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: of reality televisions, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Secret

38
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: lives of Mormon wives. I do a little, you know,

39
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: I glance at Dancing with the Stars in order to

40
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: keep up with Whitney Levitt. But by the time this

41
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: comes out, that's probably over And I just have to say,

42
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: Whitney Levitt, Lever or hater what a dancer. The woman

43
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: can move. She's a star. They need to just put

44
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 3: her on that show. I had never seen the show before,

45
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 3: but I assume she's the best dancer they've ever had.

46
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: But go to patreon dot com slash I said no

47
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,800

00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: I mean, she's speaking of stars. Debbie Wineger can move.

49
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: As a podcast guest, she's really got it. Okay, I

50
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: think we've covered all of the business I've I mean,

51
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: I'm you know, I've sleep deprivation and coffee and ten

52
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: thirty record puts me in a new place. But I

53
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: think we should get into it. I love today's guest.

54
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: She's just fantastic. It's Amy Silverberg. Amy, welcome to I

55
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: said no gifts.

56
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me. I'm so sorry about the heaving.

57
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: Oh when was the last time you were dry heaving?

58
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Well, I had bad chicken. Oh no, on a barbecue

59
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: chicken pizza. Oh, I was heaving. I was eaving all right.

60
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: Wow, it's that's kind of a hard for them to

61
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: get the raw chicken on the pizza.

62
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: What was tough to. It was a pizza party and

63
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: I was the only one to have ventured into that

64
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: particular pizza. So he was texting everybody the next day.

65
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: It was like a girl's birthday. It was like all

66
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: girl pizza party, right, And I was like, is anyone driving?

67
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: I didn't say driving. I was like, is anyone losing it?

68
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: You know?

69
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: And Everyone's like no, no, like which, And then I

70
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: thought to myself, I'm the only one who experimented with

71
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: the barbecue chicken.

72
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 3: The chicken on a barbecue chicken pizza should be cooked

73
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: before the pizza, then with the pizza.

74
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: And I don't know, maybe it had sat out for

75
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: too long, but I haven't had barbecue chicken pizza since then.

76
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: I might never.

77
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: Again before that experience. How did you feel about barbecue chicken?

78
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: Leave it? I can leave.

79
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 2: It's really kind of weird that I went for it

80
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: that day, because I feel like people are either they

81
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 2: absolutely hate or love a barbecue chicken pizza.

82
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: It's very divisive.

83
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: One other thing I didn't lead with is it was

84
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: my pizza party.

85
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 3: You said it was.

86
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: I don't know why, my pizza party birthday with all girls.

87
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: Wow, so you ordered the girls and the girl was me.

88
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: I don't know why I to separate myself.

89
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: I thought maybe that was the day you became a woman.

90
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: That's the day I became a woman.

91
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: You left. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So you ordered that pizza

92
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 3: for your for the party.

93
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: A friend did it, like ordered all the different pizza,

94
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: you know. I think that's why I sort of tried

95
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: to separate myself. It wasn't my pizza ordering. I don't

96
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: want anybody in the audience who wants to invite me

97
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: to a pizza party. I want them to know they

98
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: can trust me.

99
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: You're not going to give it away.

100
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to do anything weird.

101
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: Can you say where the pizza came from? We can

102
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: beep it out.

103
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I know Culver City. A friend

104
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 2: ordered it. She said it was a good pizza. It

105
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: was also expensive.

106
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 3: Oh boy, wow, I'd like to put that place.

107
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: I'm putting all of Culver City on notice, the whole.

108
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 3: City until we narrow it down to this pizza parlor.

109
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: The whole city is should beware poison Central take pizza.

110
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: That's a long way to travel a pizza from Culver

111
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 3: City to wherever.

112
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: We did it in Culver City.

113
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: Oh you did it?

114
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: You know a friend lives in Clover City. I don't

115
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,119
Speaker 2: have a big enough apartment. Let's have the pizza party

116
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: in Clover City. I feel that already I've established myself

117
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: as an unreliable narrator, and the whole crowd.

118
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: Is like, what what can we trust for this one?

119
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: Ten thirty is early to get to Burbank's.

120
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 3: Ten thirty is a hard time to have a conversation.

121
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: Let's be honest.

122
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: Everybody at home is like, fuck you, guys, I'm up

123
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: at work at eight am.

124
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: Well, even if I'm up at six am. From six

125
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: until eleven am, I'm not someone that should be approached.

126
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: What are you doing between six and eight am?

127
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: Disassociating, regretting my life, thinking, oh, I can't believe I

128
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: woke up at all, bickering with my boyfriend or telling

129
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: him to be quiet.

130
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: Are you a person who tries to like stay off

131
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: their phone in the morning?

132
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: A little bit? This is my morning. I wake up,

133
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: turn off the alarm, and now I turn off the

134
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 3: white noise or the dark noise I think is what

135
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: it is?

136
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: Noise? And because you're a demon, I'm a demon. You're

137
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: listening to dark noise.

138
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 3: I turn that off, get my phone, get my coffee

139
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: and protein bar, and go into the backyard and read.

140
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: Okay.

141
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 3: Once I'm done with my coffee, I go in and

142
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: get my phone okay, and then go back out and

143
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: then just start ruining.

144
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: My day okay, because that's a healthy way to start

145
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: the day, I feel. But it doesn't prevent you from

146
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: So it doesn't prevent you from coming in and ruining things.

147
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: Right if I have if the phone is next to

148
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: my book that I'm just not reading the book.

149
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you got to leave. I got one

150
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: of those apps that makes it hard to get on

151
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: social media. You have to. It's called screen Zen okay,

152
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: is the one that I'm using, and you have to

153
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: You're only allowed three times on ten minutes at a time, okay,

154
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: and then you have to wait a full minute for

155
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: it to let you on. But as it's I'm like, well,

156
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: just annoying when I have to wait them of course. Yeah,

157
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: but it has prevented me from like mindlessly sort of

158
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: scrolling because if I go to mindlessly scroll and then

159
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: I see that I have to wait a full minute,

160
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: I'm like fuck.

161
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: This, right, it just like snaps you out of it.

162
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but is there's no.

163
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: Work around, I feel like I would get around the worker.

164
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: I'm so bad at technology. If there is, I don't know.

165
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: So for a computer whiz like myself, I mean I.

166
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: Should be named Debbie or Nancy. Nancy is my mom's name,

167
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: Linda Kathy. I'm like I have a boomer level of technology.

168
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like any of those things I would

169
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: just it has to physically be locked away from me,

170
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: which is unfortunate. How much longer do you think we're

171
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: all going to be trapped? And like, at some point

172
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: there has to be a breaking point when we start

173
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: leaving at least Instagram for another new thing. You know.

174
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: I'm teaching this semester, so I'm with gen Z and

175
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: how are they doing? And they are unwell but they're

176
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: kind of like funny, but yeah, they do they you

177
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: know how people talk about the gen Z stare and stuff. Yes,

178
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: they do have kind of like zombie eyes that I

179
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: think is from staring at their screen. Right, But I

180
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: also think everybody's been worried about the youth.

181
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: Since since the beginning of time.

182
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: I think they are like chillin you know, they make

183
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: me laugh. They talk about their like boyfriends, ex boyfriends,

184
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: facetiming them. In creative writing, we spend forty five minutes

185
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: out of the hour talking about people's ex boyfriends, facetiming them.

186
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: That's what creative writing is all about.

187
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: That's the beginning of a story.

188
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

189
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: Exactly so. But otherwise they seem pretty normal.

190
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're shy. They seem really shy, at least the

191
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: students in my class like people like but once they

192
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: start talking, then they but they seem to have a

193
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: little bit more like no one. They're no like class

194
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 2: clowns that are like constantly interest kind of chatting. I'm

195
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: like begging them to talk, you know, I'm telling them

196
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: I'll injure myself in front of them if they don't speak.

197
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: I feel I feel like shy is a good place

198
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: to start.

199
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: I don't mind it. Yeah, shy teen better than the opposite.

200
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,120

229
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: pull anything from my brain.

230
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: It's so scary when someone else something.

231
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: This is something I look at every day in order.

232
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: But it's one of those that's it was the highest

233

239
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 2: a book.

240
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I think that's nice. I think I make my

241
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: own cold brew, but I'm even that the idea of

242
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: just being able to open a can.

243
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: You make your own cold brew, that's like trad husband

Speaker 2: just like pouring concentrated and.

248
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480

249
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 3: is a plastic like thing, and then you put the

250
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: coffee grounds and then water, then coffee grounds in water.

251
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: Then you let it sit for twenty four hours.

252
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: All very sexy. I feel to hear that you're making

253

Speaker 2: You're making him cold brew.

267
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 3: The amount of complaints it's ridiculous, none of them too much.

268
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: That's like if I buy my boyfriend dinner, I'm like,

00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 2: then for the next two weeks, I'm like, remember when

Speaker 3: You usually go out to dinner? Do you just split? No?

275
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: He always pays for me.

276
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: He always pays.

277
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: That's what's so crazy for me to be like, remember,

278
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: I think it's me being like, you know, the one time.

279
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: But we have really different schedules because he works a

280
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: normal job and I'm, you know, a kookie, right working

281
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: ten working ten various jobs. So I'm often bringing over

282
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: like taco ball at like ten thirty d. That's very nice,

283
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: and we don't live that kind of I have some

284
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: kookie beliefs, like what like religious. No, my kookie beliefs

285
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: are that I need a lot of privacy. Yeah, yeah, no,

286
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: I just I've never lived with anyone, and I have

287
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 2: a great apartment that I love, right, But I don't

288
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: want to tell you how long we've been dating because

289
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: then it seems really creepy.

290
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: Though we don't live I don't think that that's creepy

291
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: at all. I think that that's very healthy, get.

292
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: On great, right, And he keeps moving closer to me,

293
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: so I'm hoping that eventually he'll just live next door.

294
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: He's slowly creeping up.

295
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: He's creeping up on me because I won't leave my apartment.

296
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 3: You know. Oh, I think that that's totally fine, and

297
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: especially I think in a big city where it's just

298
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: like hard to find a good apartment. I'm like, we

299
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: don't fight, you know, of course, how could you possibly

300
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 3: your time is more valuable when you're together.

301
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: Yes, And and I feel like a lot of the

302
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: things that people fight about are like someone breathing.

303
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: Of course, you know, hearing the other person.

304
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't. And I'm just like, listen, am I

305
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: in therapy. Yeah, shout out to doctor Barbara.

306
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: She's doctor Barbara. Reach out. Yeah.

307
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: Oh she calls in. She's like, I'd like to talk

308
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: more about Amy's issues. Listen. I grew up in a

309
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: house where, like, my dad was talking to me through

310
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: the bathroom door. Not a lot of private too much.

311
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 3: You can't talk to someone in there.

312
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: Larry's Larry's calling me ten times a day. You know,

313
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: he's on the toilet, He's calling me. His name's Larry.

314
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: So I'm just like, I need I got to live alone,

315
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: got a alone.

316
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: No, I totally understand that we've started. We sleep in

317
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: separate beds almost every night of the week.

318
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: See that's and that sounds good to me.

319
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: Oh it's lovely.

320
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: And then do you sorry? I'm sorry to bring this

321
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: up on the pod. Whose bed do you have sex in?

322
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 3: Oh that's a great question.

323
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: I'm okay, And that's fair enough. I thought i'd take

324
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: a stab, you know, just sometimes I got to take

325
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: a big swing, and if it's a strikeout, I don't mind.

326
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: That's that's part of doing stand up comedy. Sometimes you

327
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: get on stage and you whiff.

328
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: You know, you didn't whiff, you just didn't get an.

329
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: Get an answer. That's like my crowd work. I'm like,

330
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: so what bed do you guys? Fucking I hate when

331
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: comedians ask people in the crowd like vulgar questions.

332
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: What I was going to say about calling is do

333
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: you forget this when you call somebody on speaker and

334
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 3: they ask, am I on speaker? But people get really

335
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 3: sensitive about being on speaker phone.

336
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like what they're really asking is can someone here?

337
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: Can someone else hear me?

338
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: I feel like I get a lot of the time.

339
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: It's just like, why don't you have Why are you

340
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: using your like some of your strengths to hold the phone?

341
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: I think that's weird. It's like, what do they care?

342
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: You know, I'm doing you a big favorite just by

343
00:15:58,760 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: even talking.

344
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: I always assumed it was is someone else in the

345
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: room and can hear me? You know?

346
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: Right that person's paranoid? Yeah? Yeah, and I will let

347
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: somebody know if there's somebody else in the room in

348
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: the car.

349
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: I would hope I'm not just gonna blurt out right

350
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: something private like I blurt out on this podcast.

351
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: Are you a big phone person?

352
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a big talk to my girlfriends every time

353
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: I get in the I drive a lot, as many

354
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: LA people do. But I got a lot of jobs

355
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: on every side of the city, right, but I'm crossing.

356
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: I'm in the car. I feel for four hours a day.

357
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: And so every time I get in the car, I

358
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: call a friend and I listen to her problems.

359
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: And do you just do you schedule the call or

360
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 3: you just randomly call?

361
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: I just randomly call. And I got a lot of

362
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: girlfriends with problems, and you're a girl thirties in LA,

363
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: and I'm somebody who doesn't mind hearing them. I find

364
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: people's problems to be and they're always problems with as

365
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: many girls problems are women's. There are problems with no solutions.

366
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: So you're just kind of just listening, but you're not

367
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: offering solutions.

368
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the solution is like we have to get

369
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: you to like see yourself as lovable.

370
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 3: And I also think people don't want to hear solutions,

371
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 3: And what.

372
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 2: Sort of solution is you need to see yourself as lovable.

373
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, they know right, you know, so when it becomes advice,

374
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 3: the people tune that out.

375
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: They just want to Sometimes the solution is like we

376
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: got to you gotta get a job, but like there

377
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: are no one wants to hear that either, or they're

378
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: already trying to get a job.

379
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: Of course they're trying to get a job.

380
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: That's not helpful, right exactly. Or like they're sad about

381
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 2: a breakup, and what are you going to say to that.

382
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: You're just like, yeah, I'm sad too that you had

383
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: that happen.

384
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 3: And you have to be careful about talking about a

385
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 3: breakup because if you insult the X too much, then

386
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 3: they get back together. That becomes you can't be fully honest.

387
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 3: There was a minute when I was doing surprise phone calls,

388
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: and I've kind of shied away from that. I think

389
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 3: I need to get back into that.

390
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: Why did you start trying away?

391
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think that during the pandemic it

392
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: became a thing that felt good to just give somebody

393
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 3: a phone call, and then we all got kind of

394
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: back into our lives as much as you possibly could.

395
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 3: And now it feels a little bit like, am I

396
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: scaring people?

397
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: Like it? And I was doing a lot of surprise

398
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: face times, which I think, Yeah, that I've stopped. Now

399
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 2: I'm only doing surprise phone call.

400
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would text before, and I don't really care

401
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: to see a friend's face. Yeah, I don't need to

402
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 3: FaceTime a friend. I will. Uh, maybe I should start

403
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 3: randomly calling people again.

404
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: I get into habits with certain people where I'm talking

405
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: to them constantly, and then I've like one of my

406
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: best friends lives in Australia and I don't call her

407
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: because I feel like when I call her, we need

408
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: a lot of time to catch up.

409
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: Right.

410
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: The people I'm calling are people who I really know

411
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: what's going on in their lives minute to minute too much,

412
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: I know.

413
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: You know. I was just wondering about this, Like, what's

414
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 3: the longest amount of time you haven't spoken to somebody,

415
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 3: like to a good friend, to a good friend that

416
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: you feel like you could still give them a phone call.

417
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: Let's say you haven't spoken to somebody in two years?

418
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: Is it? Do you need to text first?

419
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 2: Two years? That's tough.

420
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever gone alarming to get a

421
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 3: phone call from somebody you haven't heard from in two years.

422
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: I feel like it's either like a person from like

423
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: high school that is coming out of the blue, you know, right,

424
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: or a person Yeah it would be alarming to me,

425
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: would it be alarming to you?

426
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: I'm trying to decide. I mean, like, let's say that

427
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 3: you're kind of in contact through social media, so you're

428
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 3: aware of each other.

429
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, that's different.

430
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

431
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: You know, I'm an optimist and I always think someone

432
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: is calling to get give me something.

433
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 3: Does that happen?

434
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: Well, even if it's just like a like you know,

435
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: like we need you to do a Q and A

436
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 2: for twucks.

437
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: Right right, I don't know.

438
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: That's what I'm always. I'm always I'm like a person

439
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 2: who answers unknown numbers, thinking that it's going to be

440
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 2: someone like, hey, we read a short story of yours.

441
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: We want to turn it into a movie.

442
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 3: I used to ground down for me, that's totally filed.

443
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: It's just like my dad finding new numbers to call

444
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: me from.

445
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 3: Like for some reason, I now just think it's either

446
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 3: scam or medical call. Yeah, urgent care.

447
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: Call, cold calls. I'm getting a lot of I thought

448
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: I have health insurance from a certain company and I

449
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 2: keep getting phone calls being like, this is your health insurance,

450
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: but it's a different company. I never know if it's

451
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: a scame.

452
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 3: Got to be very careful.

453
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: I probably don't have health insurance now. I'm probably like, accidentally.

454
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: You have to I think, what did they say? If

455
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 3: you think that, if it seems like they're calling you

456
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 3: don't answer, then you call them from a different phone number.

457
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 2: It seems too good to be true.

458
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 3: If it seems too good. I know something about if

459
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 3: it seems too good to be true, if.

460
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: Someone's calling me being like, Hi, yeah, Steven Spielberg, can

00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: yours in the Indiana Review and we need to have you.

463
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 2: We want to make it into a movie. All my

464
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 2: short stories are like a girl walks into a bar

465
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: and has a conversation.

466
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: I'd like health insurance to call with an offer that's.

467
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: Too good to be and Hi, we have a kidney

Speaker 2: Larry Silverberg, who read the caption on that.

520
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,879

626
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 2: Like seven hundred, that seems okay.

627
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say that's big. I mean that would be.

628
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 2: For me low stakes, and I'm very we call it nitty.

629
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: I'm in nitty, meaning I'm like a conservative player. I'm

630
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 2: not going in. I'm not trying to gamble.

631
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 3: Or you're healthy, you're not a gambling addict.

632
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm not trying to gamble. I'm trying to play

633
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: sort of strategically.

634
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 3: What's the most you've lost.

635
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: In one sitting?

636
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, like six.

637
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 2: Hundreds, See that would be you know, oh, and I

638
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: feel terrible about myself after, but it goes up and down,

639
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 2: so like overall, I'm pretty even, right, That's why it

640
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: is like a stupid hobby that's just sort of like

641
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: stress relief.

642
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: If I lost six hundred dollars, I would have to

643
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: get a second job.

644
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: I mean when I lose six hundred dollars, it's always

645
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 2: because I'm like really stressed out, and it's like healthy,

646
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: Like I got to play poker as a stress reliever.

647
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 2: So like my boyfriend would take a long walk and

648
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: I'm like going all in on pocket tooths. You know,

649
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 2: it's like not a good do.

650
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: You think you'll ever try competitive poker.

651
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: You mean like a tournament. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you

652
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: need a lot of time for a tournament. I like

653
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: cash games because you can just go and cash games

654
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: are still competitive you're playing against the team, right, But

655
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: cash games just mean.

656
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 3: You go in and out a tournament. You have to

657
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 3: just and can anybody show up to a tournament?

658
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: I'd like to bring you.

659
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 3: I am the last person who will The idea of

660
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: even playing one game of poker is horrified.

661
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I love it so much. I am smiling

662
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: minightly the entire time. I'm smiling even when I'm losing money.

663
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 3: That probably works in your favor, I think, so, yeah,

664
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: because no one, no one can really tell what's going

665
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 3: on in your mind.

666
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, and I like I have like I think

667
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: one of my better qualities is I have a deep

668
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: curiosity about other people. Okay, sometimes you know, curiosity kills the.

669
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: Cat, right.

670
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: So I meet really sort of interesting people at the

671
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: poker table. And I met a guy whose job was

672
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,120

673
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 3: Dead bodies, oh at crime scene clean.

Speaker 3: Oh so he works for the morgue or something.

676
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: I guess he just he was like, if the cops come,

677
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: they're not the ones who come to take away the body, right.

678
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 3: They have some guy in a suit. And did you

679
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: learn anything about that whole situation? What did he have

680
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:52,600

00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: you like the job? And he said something sort of

683
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: moving about like I like to treat, like really honor

684
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: a body's last moments on earth, like I treat it with.

685

693
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 3: for money.

694
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: How do you play blackjack for no money?

695
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 3: Just like my boyfriend and I will just play, you know,

696
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 3: just this is very rare. But okay, okay, here's just

697
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 3: kind of a thrill. Yeah, no, I like, do you

00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? I like blackjack. I like craps. I'm a gambler.

700
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: It's my worst quality in best quality.

701
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 3: What's your favorite casino?

702
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: Well, I love Vegas. Okay, and but if we're talking

703
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: about l A, well, this is when things are going

704
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: to get real freaky. Like I like the food at

705
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: the bicycle, I like the Kung pow chicken at Hollywood Park.

706
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: This is a much time I'm spending at these because

707
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: see those and in commerce, I like the action.

708
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 3: Oh interesting, that seems like the most important thing for

709
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 3: Are you eating kungkout chicken while playing poker? Yeah, so

710
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 3: there's like a plate of it.

711
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and yeah, I'm eating it. I never eat

712
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: anything you got any for knife. You can't eat anything

713
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: with your hands, obviously because you're touching the carts chips.

714
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 3: I didn't know you were allowed to eat during poker.

715
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually one of my favorite parts. It's like

716
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 2: getting the casino food and eat eating. People don't think

717
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: that I can be a degenerate gambler because I'm five

718
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: feet tall. They think something about that. I think I

719
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 2: can't see over the chips.

720
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 3: I feel like short people are more likely to be

721
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 3: degenerate gamblers. I feel like tall people don't need to

722
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 3: they've got it all. Tall people don't need to get

723
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 3: or short people are like, well maybe this.

724
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: Will fix everything to hell? Yeah, like close to the ground.

725
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: Do you like Las Vegas?

726
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 3: Uh? No, absolutely. I'm trying to be more careful about

727
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 3: how I talk about because I feel like, no, not

728
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 3: so much that I just feel like I grew up

729
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 3: in a city that was the butt of every joke,

730
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 3: you know, and I remember being like, well, there are

731
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 3: good things about the city. I will say, there's so

732
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: many awful things about Las Vegas that maybe maybe they're

733
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: for other people. It's not my cup of tea. I

734
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: will say, you do see the bottom of humanity there, sure.

735
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: And I only ever spend like two or three days

736
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: right time.

737
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 3: Anyone who's in Las Vegas for more than three days,

738
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 3: their life is ruined.

739
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: Yah.

740
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, going there? And how long you were there?

741
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 4: For?

742
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: Three days?

743
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: Two days?

744
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 3: Two days?

745
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: And we went to a high end strip club, oh,

746
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: which I'd never been to disturbing. I thought that there

747
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: would be way more like joy and laughter. I don't

748
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: know what I like. I was thinking it was going

749
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: to be like maybe more burlesque type like room. But

750
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: I think because it was high end, the men were

751
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 2: so grimly horny. I didn't I was like I was

752
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: waiting for like some like, but they felt like.

753
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: They were owed something grim grimly.

754
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: But I did see a woman take off her thong

755
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 2: to reveal a smaller thong, and then she did of

756
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: that song and there was an even smaller thng, So

757
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: that made it all That made it all worth that

758
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: a thong on a thong.

759
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: No Vegas has there's an apocalyptic prison city feel to

760
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 3: it that just doesn't really work for me. Yeah, there's

761
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 3: a you know, there's a great Thai restaurant I like

00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 3: there that Like I wish it wasn't in that city

763
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 3: because I would go there.

764
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: What do you ever think about what you how you

00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 3: I would kill myself immediately.

767
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like that question. And some people really

810
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 2: to be like left alone at like pavilions. What's sad?

811
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 3: There's something satisfying about the idea of like drinking a

812
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 3: drink before you get to the checkout and then just

813
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 3: paying for the ka something like that.

814
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: You know, they got mad at my grandma, my booboo.

815
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 2: May she rest in peace. She was like in her

816
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: eighties nineties for going through like the nuts and taking

817
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: a few break. The grocery store guy came over and said,

818
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: you can't do that. It's like this woman's like eighty eight.

819
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: You're not gonna let her eat a pistachio. Jordan Allman,

820
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 2: what your sample of cash? Who let her sample of cashew?

821
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: It was so crazy, Wow, that's really I think after

822
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: your hand in, she was like taking it out with

823
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: the even if she was putting her hand in come.

824
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 3: On out of the bulk bins.

825
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: Out of the bulk bins.

826
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 3: I think that's for anyone of any age. They should

827
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 3: be able to do that.

828
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: One little fresh.

829
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 3: It may have been there for a long time.

830
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 2: Everything if the TVs, you know, is under lock and key,

831
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,880

Speaker 2: need this dealready.

833
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 3: I mean, if the item is under seven dollars, they

834
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 3: should not be behind glass. Just let let people steal it.

835

Speaker 3: The CVS. I feel like that must cost them more

837
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 3: money than they have to hire more employees or something

838
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 3: to go let people into the glass, one would think.

839
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 3: And they have to pay for all of the glass. Yeah,

840
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 3: and it just makes it a missing It was already

Speaker 2: eight K, I assume, yes, that's a big Maybe it's

940
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 2: like ten.

941
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't know.

942
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 3: Christine's going to eventually win the world.

943
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: We're going to bring you to the casino and see.

944
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 3: And I will be an absolute killed joy. You will be.

945
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 3: You will regret every second I'm there. I can guarantee

946
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 3: I was in the casino a couple of months ago

947
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 3: and it was a miserable experience for me. Which casino

948
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: the one in Palm Springs that it's not wrong? Yes, yes,

949
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 3: my boyfriend was playing black jack and he enjoys gambling,

950
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 3: and he since we had met, I think he had

951
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 3: gambled once, like ten years ago, and I said, never again.

952
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 3: And then this you want to go with him? The

953
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 3: cam that he could because I was like, you have

954
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 3: to stop throwing them up. Wait, and not that he

955
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 3: was like now that he had, Boyfriend's.

956
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: Just simply afraid of me too. I'm sure he wishes

957
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 2: he could say, I need you to.

958
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 3: Stop, but this time you convinced me. He gave me

959
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: twenty dollars and I went and used the slot machines

960
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 3: realized very quickly I don't even know how to use

961
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 3: a slot machine, and then lost off the money.

962
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: I told my boyfriend because he had lost money, and

963
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: he was like in a like he was upset about it, like,

964
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 2: and I got you can't be around me if you're

965
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 2: upset about losing money like this.

966
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 3: That vibe is not of course, so do not bring me. Yeah.

967
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: No, I'm like, I need I'm losing money. I'm smiling, Okay.

968
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 3: Because you're treating it as a game, not as a

969
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 3: money making sure. Sure, yeah, because I would go into

970
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 3: it thinking I have to make money. Now, this is

971
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: my job for the next two hours.

972
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: And have I occasionally told people I was going to

973
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 2: the library and then went to the casino instead. Yeah,

974
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 2: and that's something again, Doctor Barbara listening, we can circle

975
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 2: back to that. I don't think you're supposed to be

976
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 2: lying about where you are.

977
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 3: Wait, what's your favorite casino in Vegas?

978
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 2: I like where I like to play poker. Is the

979
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 2: Encore or the Win?

980
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 3: Never heard of the Core?

981
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's nicely familiar with the use a free drink,

982
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 2: So I like that.

983
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 3: You see that appeals to me, but a free drink appeal,

984
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 3: But for me, it's a diet coke. Just spend the

985
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 3: two dollars.

986
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 2: Fun though, you know that free diet coke. I'm like,

987
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 2: keep them coming, swell.

988
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 3: Should you have to gamble for them to start offering

989
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 3: you free drinks?

990
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 2: You if you just sit down at the table with

991
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 2: any money, they I noticed they kind of take a

992
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 2: long time to bring you a drink.

993
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 3: Oh, of course they want more money. I mean the

994
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 3: psychology that they're using. I bet they have a whole

995
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: team of psychologists working.

996
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 2: And the amount of verbal abuse that these women, I mean,

997
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 2: like sexual harassment. These women taken at the table were like, sweetie,

998
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 2: come on, sweetie, whatever I don't know why I made

999
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 2: them from like New Jersey. That's me too. When I

1000
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 2: sit at the table, I'm like, sweetie, it's sweet sweetie.

1001
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 2: Can you hurry up? That Bailey's on ice like ordering

1002
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: the weirdest.

1003
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 3: Oh that you are living my hell. I don't know

1004
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 3: how you do it, but yeah, hobbies. I was rock

1005
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 3: climbing for a minute. I need to get back into

1006
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 3: that is that scary indoors? Not for me at least.

1007
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 2: I think you have a cord.

1008
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,760
Speaker 3: No, I was bouldering, so you don't have a cord,

1009
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 3: but you're only at max like twenty five feet in

1010
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 3: the air. At one point, I was like I had

1011
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 3: gotten to like a maybe mid to high level, and

1012
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 3: I decided to film it on my phone and I

1013
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 3: filmed it like me.

1014
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 2: Getting to the top, like you put it on a

1015
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 2: propped it.

1016
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 3: Up against my water bottle. I filmed the whole thing

1017
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 3: and it was difficult. I got to the top and

1018
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 3: got down and then I watched out my phone. It's

1019
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 3: like this is I can't I can never show anyone this.

1020
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: This is so embarrassing.

1021
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 2: What was embarrassing about it?

1022
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 3: Because it's like I climbed like fifteen feet into the air,

1023
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 3: you're it, You're like, yeah, while doing it, it's like,

1024
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 3: this is so difficult, this is so impressive. And then

1025
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 3: you watch it, You're like, this is maybe two and

1026
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 3: a half times my height. If I were to fall

1027
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 3: to the ground, I might be sore.

1028
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 2: The next thing, No, I pull vaulted in high school. Wow, Yes,

1029
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 2: And I was so bad at it. I was not

1030
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: allowed to participate in any of the meats.

1031
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 3: Who told you you weren't allowed to participate, they were

1032
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 3: just like.

1033
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: You're like, you're not even gonna make it. Like I

1034
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 2: could only make it over the first thing, which is

1035
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 2: five feet, so I could essentially vault over myself if

1036
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 2: I was like coming to attack myself, and I had

1037
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 2: a stick and au But I remember thinking when when

1038
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 2: you're in the air flying over, you.

1039
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 3: Feel like you're of course you're staring.

1040
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 2: And then someone had taken a video of me, and

1041
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: you're it looks so small compared to what other people

1042
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 2: are doing, because they're vaulting over like six feet and

1043
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 2: seven feet.

1044
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 3: And eve, and how does that I've never really, I've

1045
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 3: never tried it. You stick the thing in the grounder

1046
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 3: than it kind of.

1047
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 2: And then you but it really is like your form.

1048
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: So like the best girl on the team was like

1049
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 2: tiny and didn't have big upper body strike, but she

1050
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 2: had the right form. But if you're like a strong guy,

1051
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 2: you can kind of just vault yourself. I could do neither.

1052
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 2: I was just like poking people in the butts with

1053
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 2: the sticks, like having fun.

1054
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 3: What drew you to it?

1055
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 2: Then you didn't have to try out and I needed

1056
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 2: to finish a pee credit.

1057
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 3: I can't believe you didn't have to try out for that.

1058
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 3: That's is like one that's kind of dangerous.

1059
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 2: No track, they were like at my high school, they

1060
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 2: were just kind of like what do you want to

1061
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 2: do in track? Originally I wanted to throw the discus? Oh,

1062
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 2: and they told me I was too weak. They were

1063
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 2: like you got a way more than the discus, you know,

1064
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 2: five five feet. So then I was like what else

1065
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 2: can I do when I don't have to run? And

1066
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 2: they were like, how wanted you try to pull vaulted?

1067
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 3: Do you think you could pull vault now? At any level?

1068
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: You know?

1069
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 2: That's a friend just was like do you still pull vault?

1070
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 2: And I was like, it's not only something you do

1071
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 2: like as a leisure activity.

1072
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 3: You have to go buy what is this thing called

1073
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 3: a stick? The pole?

1074
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, like you get the pole, you need the

1075
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 2: you need some pads, you need to find the Yeah.

1076
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 3: I feel like that would be a practical skill to

1077
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 3: have in some regard if you're running away from someone

1078
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 3: trying to Yeah, exactly pull vaulting away from like a

1079
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 3: horde of people.

1080
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Should we take that up as a hobby.

1081
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind trying.

1082
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 2: Do you have any other hobbies besides rock climbing?

1083
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 3: No, I play three chords on the guitar. I was

1084
00:46:58,239 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 3: thinking about buying a bass guitar. I think I could

1085
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 3: probably handle it.

1086
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: The three chords that can get you far.

1087
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 3: No, because I'm not good enough at even forming the chords.

1088
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 3: I was trying to learn to play this song see

1089
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 3: of Heartbreak. Do you know that song? But Don Gibson,

1090
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 3: wonderful song. I believe you, and I think I kind

1091
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 3: of began getting there, then got frustrated and gave it up.

1092
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 2: I have a really stupid question. How many chords are there?

1093
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 3: Oh? There? I mean there's so many chords. There's one

1094
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 3: for each note. You know, each note has multiple chords

1095
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 3: around it, Major, minor, all sorts of chords. So honestly,

1096
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 3: you have any idea how many chords are?

1097
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 2: I added this out I sound like.

1098
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 4: Honestly, I think the limit does not exist because you

1099
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 4: have like you not only have major and minor, you

1100
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 4: also have like dominant and like sus telling me.

1101
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 2: There's infinity chords, I mean as many.

1102
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 4: I mean I'd have to look up one of those

1103
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 4: like equations where you type in how many notes and

1104
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 4: then how many because you can put seven notes in

1105
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 4: a chord if you really wanted to, so like you

1106
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 4: think about how many notes there are, and then you

1107
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 4: combine those notes with other notes.

1108
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 3: I don't know it just like it starts stacking who

1109
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 3: the rainbow? Yes sound its.

1110
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 2: Occurring to me. Now I've never known what a chord is.

1111
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 3: Have you never played any music?

1112
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 2: I played piano growing up, but not well.

1113
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 3: Right, and sometimes you put more than two notes?

1114
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 2: No, I know, I guess I knew that those are chords.

1115
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 3: But chords, yeah, I can play three, and technically I

1116
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 3: should be able to play a lot of songs. But

1117
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 3: I'm just my finger. The finger strength isn't there.

1118
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 2: We got to work out your fingers.

1119
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 3: But I think with a bass, I think I could

1120
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 3: probably figure that out. One note at a time.

1121
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 2: Can you do you need to be in a band

1122
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 2: to play the bass guitar or can you just kind

1123
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 2: of do it alone?

1124
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 3: You could play it alone. I think eventually you'd be like,

1125
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 3: I need some other things going on here.

1126
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 2: That's like drummers. I'm like a drummer's hard to like

1127
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 2: drum alone.

1128
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 3: But a drum solo, when done well is kind of fun.

1129
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 2: Sure. But if you're like only ever drumming alone.

1130
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 3: Just yeah, you're kind of there. Solitary guitar, I feel

1131
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 3: like you can play a large chunk of a song.

1132
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 2: I got a lot of questions about the drums, like.

1133
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 3: What how do they decide how many are in a kit?

1134
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 2: No, well, they decide like how to play it in

1135
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 2: one way? To me, the drums seem really like you

1136
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 2: get to improvise.

1137
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 3: Yeah you can really, I mean make up your own beat.

1138
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 3: I guess yeah.

1139
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 2: I'm realizing now I dated a drummer for a while

1140
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 2: and never really asked him a question about it. It's

1141
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 2: occurring to me you had no interest in his life,

1142
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 2: Like I better call him up and say, why don't

1143
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,240
Speaker 2: I ask you about how do you decide about the drumming?

1144
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 3: I think eventually, if I gave it my all, I

1145
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 3: could play the drums. But it requires a lot of

1146
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 3: because you're as I think. I just listened to a

1147
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 3: lot of music, and I think I have a decent

1148
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 3: natural rhythm. Okay, but that could be wrong.

1149
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 2: You have to be on a desert island with one

1150
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 2: record that you were going to play over and over

1151
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 2: and over again.

1152
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 3: Oh that's a that's such a difficult question to answer.

1153
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I don't know.

1154
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 2: I guess I'll let you think about it and text me.

1155
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 3: Uh, I would like to. You have to have something

1156
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 3: that won't get old too quickly, that.

1157
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 2: You can listen to over and over and over again.

1158
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 3: Do you know what an album that I think is

1159
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 3: like between like a pop album and more experimental as

1160
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 3: David Bowie's Low and it's like it's I think there's

1161
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 3: enough there that it could probably sustain you for a

1162
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 3: while on what about you?

1163
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 2: I have such a terrible taste in music. I'm like,

1164
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 2: that's fine. I only listened to like Joni Mitchell and.

1165
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 3: Like not terrible rule. I guess natural combinations.

1166
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 2: No, I'm like, I guess maybe I like a Lorn.

1167
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 3: Hill mis Education. That's a good album.

1168
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 2: Nineties and early two thousands, R and B and like

1169
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: folk music. I'm all over the place.

1170
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 3: I think that you could end up with a great

1171
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 3: Joni Mitchell album. Would be good on a desert.

1172
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I take like Joni Mitchell.

1173
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 3: Give me a break. Yeah, come best of? I don't

1174
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 3: think you could do best of.

1175
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. You tell me.

1176
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 3: That's like saying you just want to like a compilation

1177
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,240
Speaker 3: of chapters from different books.

1178
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 2: Okay, best of books, that's what I should have brought you.

Speaker 2: Oh god, the book that made me want to be

1218
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,240
Speaker 2: a writer when I was in college. Middle March by Elliot.

1219
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 3: I've never read it.

1220
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 2: Really, it's long and it's sort of a study and

1221
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 2: what it means to be alive. My favorite book of

1222
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 2: the month, I would say, is Beauty Land. Okay, my

1223
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 2: favorite book of this month.

1224
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 3: That's been it, all right. This is how I play

1225
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 3: Gift or a Curse. I'm going to name three things.

1226
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 3: You're going to tell me if there're a gift or

1227
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 3: a curse and why? Then I'll tell you if you're

1228
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 3: right or wrong, because there are correct answers, and there's

1229
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 3: a good chance you'll lose the game if you're not careful.

1230
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 3: All right. This first one is from Patreon listener Caitlin

1231
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 3: Gift or a Curse, posting a photo of all of

1232
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:41,760
Speaker 3: your Christmas gifts.

1233
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 2: Curse Why because, like we've seen on so many reality

1234
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 2: TV shows, if you show all the stuff you have,

1235
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 2: someone will break in and steal them.

1236
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 3: Does this happen on a reality show before?

1237
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, like Dori Et you know, we also

1238
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 2: saw it recently on Selling Sunset someone broke into Mary's

1239
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 2: house and store stuff. So you're you're asking for it

1240
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 2: if you're showing like look at all this stuff I have.

1241
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 2: Why not someone break in and take it? And it

1242
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:13,919
Speaker 2: might be you because you're a louter.

1243
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 3: I am a future louder.

1244
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 2: You're a future louter. Yeah wrong, Okay.

1245
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 3: That's a gift. That's a and you're kind of illustrating

1246
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 3: that by you should let me know what you have

1247
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 3: in your house. Everyone should know what everyone has in

1248
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 3: each other's houses in case you need to take it

1249
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 3: or steal it. I don't want to break into a

1250
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 3: house with no knowledge of what's in there. Sure, I'm

1251
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 3: not just going to break into any strangers. I'm going

1252
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 3: to find somebody that trusts me.

1253
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 2: You break into my house, you see my dad's paint

1254
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 2: by numbers.

1255
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:50,720
Speaker 3: No, I want to know what's in your house. I will.

1256
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 3: It'll be a friend or a family member. I'll break

1257
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 3: into their home. I've seen their Christmas hall on Instagram.

1258
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 3: I've got my Santa's bag. We're reverse Santa.

1259
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 2: I've never seen anyone post what they've gotten.

1260
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,479
Speaker 3: I have to imagine I have that feels like something

1261
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 3: that's that's some of the someone.

1262
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 2: I don't people posting like them and their whole family

1263
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 2: all in the matching pajamas.

1264
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 3: That's actually a very layered thing because I feel like

1265
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 3: there was probably a point when it wasn't done ironically

1266
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 3: m and that was fun to look at because it

1267
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 3: was like, what's going on in this family?

1268
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 2: Sure?

1269
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 3: And now but now there's like family, every family trying

1270
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:27,760
Speaker 3: to go viral.

1271
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1272
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 3: Do you remember the Pajama family that was like on YouTube?

1273
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 2: I know, but it's so wild to be known as

1274
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 2: the pajama family.

1275
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 3: It was like this YouTube family that is everything they

1276
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 3: ever produced was the worst, just worse and worse and worse.

1277
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 3: They were like rapping about I think they did parody

1278
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 3: songs about being in pajamas and the holidays. It was excruciated. Yea,

1279
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 3: maybe I'll break into their house.

1280
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 2: Okay, take their pajamas.

1281
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've gotten one wrong so far, big deal. This

1282
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 3: next one is from Patreon listener Alex Gift to a Curse,

1283
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 3: low or any other all instrumental versions of hit songs.

1284
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say gift why I like that kind of

1285
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 2: stuff to write too, Like I like no lyrics, and

1286
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 2: now do I write to it? Maybe I've done it once,

1287
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 2: but I like the idea of it of like a

1288
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 2: low fi no lyrics thing. Is that means I'm realizing

1289
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 2: I'd not that. I know.

1290
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,720
Speaker 3: I don't want to correct listener Alex, but I feel

1291
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 3: like unless this is just kind of one of those

1292
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 3: words that's now just taken on new meaning, lo Fi,

1293
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 3: I would assume is just like the recording is not

1294
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,720
Speaker 3: as high quality, you know. But I think what Alex

1295
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 3: is saying here is just purely instrumental.

1296
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 2: Yes, that I like, but bad quality. No, I don't

1297
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:45,760
Speaker 2: like that. That's a curse.

1298
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,720
Speaker 3: But we have to choose one or the other. Okay,

1299
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 3: I'll still go with gift. Okay, wrong, Okay, this is

1300
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 3: a curse. This for me, I like to hear instrumental music,

1301
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 3: but I don't. This is gonna drive me insane because

1302
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 3: often it's just me thinking what song is this? What

1303
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 3: is the lyric? It's it's something that just is taking

1304
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 3: up brain power for me, and I think it's a

1305
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 3: waste of everyone.

1306
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 2: So you couldn't name that tune?

1307
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 3: I'm pretty good at it.

1308
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 2: That's a game I hate. And when I when someone

1309
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 2: wants to play name that tune, I want to take

1310
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 2: out a weapon, like I'm not going to be able

1311
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 2: to name a single tune. So I do hear that

1312
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 2: that's frustrating.

1313
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 3: How do you play? Name that tune? Do you play?

1314
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,439
Speaker 3: Did they play the actual song or do they play

1315
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 3: They did.

1316
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 2: It like a wedding shower recently where they only played

1317
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 2: a little bit of the instrumental and then everybody had

1318
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 2: to kind of write down what the song was. And

1319
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 2: I just eventually sat down my pen. I was like,

1320
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm like, I can't get a single one.

1321
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 2: I don't seem to know what's going on.

1322
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 3: I get so competitive, Okay, okay, and I well, I

1323
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 3: haven't played it in a long time, but I think

1324
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 3: I would be pretty good at it. They did the

1325
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 3: whole Jane Krakowski was hosting something like they had it

1326
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 3: but they like on the piano, and I don't think

1327
00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 3: I could do that that way.

1328
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 2: I'm going to bring you to a cassine know where

1329
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 2: they have named that not casino doesn't exist.

1330
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 3: That casino will ruin me. All of my money will

1331
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 3: be gone. Oh okay, so you've gone too wrong so

1332
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 3: far everyone's rooting against you. This final one is from

1333
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 3: Patreon listener Casey Gift or a Cursed Cake with black

1334
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 3: slash Dark icing.

1335
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 2: Gift Why I like chocolate and I think it'll make

1336
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 2: me think that it's gonna be a chocolate cake. I

1337
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 2: also I enjoyed the time on the internet that was

1338
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 2: is it cake?

1339
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 4: Oh?

1340
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 3: Sure? Thirty five seconds?

1341
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it would be cool to wonder

1342
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 2: like is this a block of coal or is it

1343
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 2: like a cake? So I'm gonna go gift.

1344
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 3: No HEMI you've completely lost the game. Wrong, No, no, no,

1345
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 3: And this is purely I need a cake just to

1346
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 3: be good. I don't need it to look good. I

1347
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 3: don't need it to look stylish or interesting. Okay, what

1348
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 3: is the black element doing? Just making it look dramatic?

1349
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 3: Who cares? And it's like, what are we putting? Is

1350
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,439
Speaker 3: that ash? What is the thing you ask you question?

1351
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 2: I've actually really been wondering what what is red velvet?

1352
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 3: Red velvet is a waste of everyone's time. It's a

1353
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 3: lot of coke. I mean, it's cocoa, but then a

1354
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 3: ton of red dye.

1355
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 2: But does it taste Is it supposed to taste like

1356
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 2: chocolate cake?

1357
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 3: Well?

1358
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 2: Is it a different place?

1359
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 3: That's a good question, because I think it doesn't taste

1360
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 3: enough like chocolate, And yet does something weird to your

1361
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 3: brain where you're like, I don't know what this is

1362
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 3: supposed to taste like? Is this supposed to take tasting red? Yeah,

1363
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 3: and then then it has cream cheese frosting, which I

1364
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 3: think is more of the flavor. I'm glad we've put that.

1365
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 3: Left that in twenty twelve.

1366
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and I haven't seen a lot of

1367
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 2: red velvet.

1368
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. Sometime it took over for a period.

1369
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 2: Of people were chomping down on red velvet and nobody

1370
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 2: it was no one's favorite cake. No, no, it's not

1371
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 2: just a ton.

1372
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 3: Of red dye.

1373
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1374
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 3: It feels like something RFK would have a real issue.

1375
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 2: I mean, if he could do one useful thing, it's

1376
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,919
Speaker 2: an outlaw red velvet cake because you and I don't

1377
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 2: understand that do one thing that's nice for us.

1378
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 3: Well, you got none, correct, and that's fine.

1379
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 2: And what will happen to me?

1380
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 3: You're just gonna live with that shame? Okay, at it

1381
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 3: to the pile.

1382
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 2: Guilty as shamed, thoughtful talented. That's the acronym I say

1383
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 2: to my therapist that I think about myself guilty as shamed,

1384
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 2: thoughtful talented. You can definitely take that gat.

1385
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 3: Analise now has their own gift or a curse and

1386
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 3: we're going to speak to this. Analise will name a

1387
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 3: thing and we each have to say it and then

1388
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 3: they have their answer. Analise gift or a curse.

1389
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 4: When someone replaces your toilet paper but puts it the

1390
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 4: wrong side up?

1391
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 3: Do you want to go? Or should I go?

1392
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 2: You go?

1393
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 3: I think that's a gift. I don't understand this. I

1394
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 3: truly don't understand that anyone has a preference about where

1395
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 3: the toilet paper should which direction it should go. Yeah,

1396
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 3: I have never noticed, oh this is the wrong way.

1397
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 3: It just doesn't. It's a role and I it can

1398
01:00:56,080 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 3: go one or the other way. It's not that confusing. Yeah,

1399
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 3: So I think it's a gift. I think, ever, anyone

1400
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 3: that has an issue with this finds something else to

1401
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 3: complain about.

1402
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think they're all sort of walking curses everyone

1403
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 2: who has a problem.

1404
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 3: Yes, I just think this is it's an invented issue.

1405
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 2: Okay, Well you said gift.

1406
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 3: I think it's a gift, and I think that people

1407
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 3: need to.

1408
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 2: Quit complain it the gift because they can find out

1409
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 2: why they're so uptight. Yeah, and that's a gift to

1410
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 2: take with them. Right, I'm have to go. Curse, So

1411
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 2: I can say the opposite from my competitive spirit, and

1412
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 2: I think it's a curse because how have we not

1413
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five found just a different way of

1414
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 2: toilet papering, like a different sort of maybe dispenser, a

1415
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 2: different like less. I don't know. There have been a

1416
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 2: lot of innovations in a lot of different industries, and

1417
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 2: toilet paper is one of those that is really I

1418
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 2: think stayed.

1419
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 3: It's a perfect product.

1420
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 2: Oh you think it hasn't because it's perfect, and I

1421
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 2: think it needs to evolve. I'm not sure what. I

1422
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 2: don't have any suggestions, but I think some of the

1423
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 2: greatest minds in our in our world can maybe think

1424
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 2: about toilet paper. And I know in other countries they

1425
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 2: do the bidet.

1426
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, every other country basically on the planet.

1427
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 2: So maybe that maybe kind of coming back.

1428
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 3: Into the United States, I think coming back.

1429
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 2: I think it's used to occur in it.

1430
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 3: Or maybe not coming back or finally, I read an

1431
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 3: article about it recently, like why Americans have a problem

1432
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 3: with bidets.

1433
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 2: And see, now that's kind of an issue with where

1434
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 2: journalism is that someone's like I got to read an article.

1435
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 3: On a lease. What do you think it's a curse.

1436
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sorry, it's a curse.

1437
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 3: Cut their mic.

1438
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 4: Their no, I'm in control now, okay, cut your own mic. So,

1439
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 4: first of all, there is a correct way. There is

1440
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 4: a correct way, but that's not that That isn't the

1441
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 4: issue here. The issue here for me is that if

1442
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 4: you have the access to my toilet paper and you're

1443
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 4: replacing it, either you've had to like walk out of

1444
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 4: the bathroom without pants on and grab toilet paper from

1445
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 4: my cupboard or something, right, you're like rifling through my thing. Sure,

1446
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 4: or now you've replaced the toilet Maybe I had toilet

1447
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 4: paper in the bathroom ready to go like backups, and

1448
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 4: you've replaced it the wrong way. Now I have more

1449
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 4: work to do.

1450
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 3: What is the correct way?

1451
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 2: Top?

1452
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 4: It's on the top.

1453
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:31,959
Speaker 3: Who cares?

1454
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 2: Do you agree with me that there could be innovation?

1455
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 2: There should be innovation?

1456
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 4: I think that you know. I agree in the sense

1457
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 4: that one. I think that you know it's one of

1458
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 4: those untapped markets that clearly has more room to grow

1459
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 4: and to I agree with you just so that I

1460
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 4: can disagree with Bridger.

1461
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 2: So there you go.

1462
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 3: We've got to get something for me to pull the

1463
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 3: plug in here. Put that on your list anyway. Okay,

1464
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 3: we need to answer a listener question people are writing

1465
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 3: in to answer or sending voicemail voice notes to I

1466
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 3: said no gifts at gmail dot com. The voice note

1467
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 3: listener has to be sixty seconds or under and has

1468
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 3: to be in a quiet place. I believe you can

1469
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 3: do that. What are we going to do? On aali sore?

1470
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 3: Were listening to a voice note?

1471
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 5: Hello Bridger and disrespectful guest. My name is Sarah. I'm

1472
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,919
Speaker 5: hoping for some advice. My sibling and I both work

1473
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 5: in professional theater across the country from each other, and

1474
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 5: my sibling is about to embark on their first national

1475
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 5: tour as part of the crew, and the whole family

1476
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 5: is literally buzzing. I'm so excited for them. I work

1477
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 5: as a local and wardrobe crew at a theater where

1478
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 5: touring companies come through, so I know from meeting those

1479
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 5: folks that most of them don't want to schlep an

1480
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 5: unnecessary amount of stuff with them from city to city.

1481
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 5: My sibling show is going to be in my area

1482
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 5: around Christmas, though, so I'm trying to come up with

1483
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 5: the perfect tour appropriate gift for them. Bridger, I know

1484
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 5: that Jim is a performer, so you might have some

1485
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 5: insight into what kinds of experiences or things that a

1486
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 5: person on tour might want or need. My best thoughts

1487
01:04:58,320 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 5: so far is just to take them to a nice

1488
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 5: dinner while they're in my area. But I'd love to

1489
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 5: know if you have any better ideas, and I thank

1490
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 5: you so much.

1491
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:09,919
Speaker 2: Love the show by Okay, but an interesting family that everyone's.

1492
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's in their genes, it's in the blood to tour.

1493
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 3: They're all running from something, not a not a great family.

1494
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 3: You know, they hate each other. They're all dodging cities

1495
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 3: and they've got.

1496
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 2: To be on stage or behind the stage, something with

1497
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 2: wardrobe and.

1498
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 3: Control issues or attention. Sure, sure, interesting And now they're

1499
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 3: having this confrontation during the holiday.

1500
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 2: Beth situation is not the one.

1501
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 3: Where one Macbeth is with the evil wife, right.

1502
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 2: You think about evil wives? Do you think all women

1503
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 2: in theater are evil? I think women in general are

1504
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 2: church sure, yeah, yeah.

1505
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 3: But lady Macbeth is very oh yeah, she's pulling the

1506
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 3: strings little. But these two siblings are running into each

1507
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 3: other during the holidays. They probably don't want to. And

1508
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 3: now this sibling is saying, maybe I'll take the sibling

1509
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 3: out to burger king, but might want some other ideas.

1510
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 3: What do you give someone who's traveling all the time,

1511
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 3: who might have to pick up in the middle of

1512
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 3: the night and.

1513
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 2: Go a boomerang because it always comes back.

1514
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 3: Some sort of weapon, yes, I think, yeah, maybe the

1515
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 3: siblings out on the road, the open road, and they

1516
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 3: might have to defend themselves at some point, some sort

1517
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 3: of knife, hunting knife, sure, switch blade they can hide

1518
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 3: in their back pocket.

1519
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1520
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 3: Actually, now I'm thinking one of those multi.

1521
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 2: Tools, like a Swiss Army knife.

1522
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 3: Swiss Army knife autho.

1523
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 2: They always have, like a nail clipper and.

1524
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 3: A knife is very gay, isn't it. I'm just getting

1525
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 3: too that it's like a manicure kid.

1526
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 2: Well, in the Boy Scouts in my neighborhood, Boy did

1527
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 2: they love showing their manicured kids around.

1528
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just we're getting into something there with the

1529
01:06:56,720 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 3: Swiss army knife. Interesting. You can aisle your nails, you

1530
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 3: can clip your.

1531
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 2: Nails, you can open your sprite.

1532
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 3: You can open your sprite.

1533
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, weapon would be nice. A canteen a canteen.

1534
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 3: Interesting, you're really picturing this person kind of in a

1535
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 3: Mad Max situation.

1536
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 2: You're just like going like you go on tour, you

1537
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 2: know when you have those like a stick and then

1538
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 2: your pillowcase tied and that's.

1539
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 3: Where you'd a bindle.

1540
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 2: That's what that's called.

1541
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 3: Somebody needs to disrupt the bindle industry.

1542
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, why have we not seen like purses

1543
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 2: on the on the designer runways as bindle.

1544
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 3: That feels like something that that's an untapped cat.

1545
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 2: I just keep thinking of this, like they're they're touring

1546
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 2: there on the open.

1547
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 3: Road, right, They're like essentially on the back of a Harley. Yeah.

1548
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 3: And therefore, you know.

1549
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 2: You ever try to run away when you're a kid,

1550
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 2: and you always got just like down to the end

1551
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 2: of the street.

1552
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. I would get up the hill and then

1553
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 3: I would open and then realize I had brought like

1554
01:07:58,400 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 3: one cupcake.

1555
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,919
Speaker 2: I had to open get to the top of thehill

1556
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 2: waiting for someone to come find me.

1557
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 3: Painting.

1558
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, So without a passive aggressive attention, instead of being

1559
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 2: like you hurt my feelings, you didn't pay attention to.

1560
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 3: Me, It's like I'll show, I'll show you.

1561
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:16,839
Speaker 2: And I still do that in my day to day.

1562
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:20,600
Speaker 3: Several people think you're missing, right, there's a search party.

1563
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 2: Looking for because my students won't answer questions. I'm like,

1564
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:23,719
Speaker 2: I'm leaving.

1565
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 3: They're like, good, well, yeah, I think a weapon and

1566
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 3: a bindle that'll get this sibling on a new path certainly.

1567
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you heard the competitive spirit between them, the

1568
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 2: sibling rivalry, Like the two of us can't be touring

1569
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 2: theater company people.

1570
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:44,400

1571
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 3: a Christmas knife fight perhaps, Yeah, a succession type sort of.

1572

Speaker 3: I think I could bring them together ultimately. Yeah, Okay,

1573
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,200

1574
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 3: what more you could ask for. Do not send any

1575
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 3: more voice notes to me and tell your sibling they're welcome.

1576
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:03,599

1577
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:04,559
