Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself
Speaker 1: perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you
Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests,
Speaker 1: you're our presences. Presents enough. I already had too much stuff,
Speaker 1: So how do you dare to surbey me?
Speaker 2: Welcome to I said, no gift s. I'm Pritchard Winneger.
Speaker 2: Here we are. We're in the studio. Uh, what's going on?
Speaker 2: I've got back from Japan. Just I don't know fourteen
Speaker 2: hours ago, I have no idea where I am in
Speaker 2: space or time. I slept for at least twelve hours
Speaker 2: last night, and still I don't know where I exist.
Speaker 2: Had a lovely time, learned a lot. I've acknowledged something
Speaker 2: about myself, and it's that I do not like to
Speaker 2: eat a cold, thick clams. That's one item for me
Speaker 2: that is a challenge. So what else? An observation I
Speaker 2: made while they're observing other couples on vacation. I've noticed
Speaker 2: this before, but I think essentially in every couple on vacation,
Speaker 2: there's one person who's normal and one person who thinks
Speaker 2: they can take good photographs. And unfortunately that that person
Speaker 2: is me. I'm the person, and I apologize for everyone
Speaker 2: else in a couple who's not the person trying to
Speaker 2: take good photographs, because it seems infuriating to watch your
Speaker 2: partner try to take a good picture. Pictures all look
Speaker 2: terrible or all look the same. Who cares? And again,
Speaker 2: just from this rambling, you can tell I need probably
Speaker 2: more sleep or less sleep or something. That's fine. I'm back.
Speaker 2: We're back. Is there anything else we need to talk
Speaker 2: about when this airs? The Chicago show will be happening
Speaker 2: tomorrow at May twenty third, So if there are still
Speaker 2: tickets available, you can have like a last minute panic
Speaker 2: buying one. If there aren't tickets available, you can regret
Speaker 2: that for the rest of your life. That's some business
Speaker 2: we can take care of. Patreon continues to exist. Thank
Speaker 2: you to everybody who's on the Patreon. You can come
Speaker 2: join us there. What a lovely way to support the show.
Speaker 2: And we're just having an absolute riot over there. Everyone
Speaker 2: is having the time of their life with the bonus episodes, etc.
Speaker 2: Is there anything Let me look, I made a document
Speaker 2: today to just make sure I covered all of our
Speaker 2: business because I'm out of my mind. Let's see the
Speaker 2: other thing I had to say, is I have fifty
Speaker 2: nine emails I need to go through. No one needs
Speaker 2: to know that. I don't know why to type that down. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's get into the episode. I love today's guest. Everybody
Speaker 2: loves her. It's Mary Elizabeth Alis Mary Elizabeth. How are you?
Speaker 3: I'm great. I'm excited to get into your emails.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we could just start from the first mail here,
Speaker 2: it's about coffee order, I've got coming. Great, we just
Speaker 2: get into that.
Speaker 3: Are a lot of thoughts. I think they should pop some
Speaker 3: cold wet clams in there for you.
Speaker 2: Have you ever had a cold thick clam?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, we also went to Japan and it was
Speaker 3: incredible and the food was so amazing, and also some
Speaker 3: of the things felt like it was cartilage.
Speaker 2: Yes, there are certain there's just degrees of difficulty with
Speaker 2: acquired tastes that I thought. I was like, I went
Speaker 2: into this trip. I've been to Japan before, and I've
Speaker 2: had plenty of different types of sushi, et cetera. And
Speaker 2: I went in feeling fairly cocky because my boyfriend is
Speaker 2: basically someone who can eat hamburgers and chicken fingers, and
Speaker 2: I thought I can handle this and one of our
Speaker 2: meals was a very high level difficulty as far as
Speaker 2: seafood goes, and one of those things was the clam.
Speaker 3: Just chewy, hard to get your teeth.
Speaker 2: Through, yeah, you know, just truly me gagging, yeah, and
Speaker 2: having to make my way through it ice water.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you can't. You can't disrespect people there. You've
Speaker 3: got to be polite.
Speaker 2: The person the food I was gagging on had, he
Speaker 2: was looking at me while he had just made the food.
Speaker 3: And I'm so happy for you to be eating it.
Speaker 3: You know though, It's like, do you make a clam?
Speaker 3: So like you opened the clam, you didn't make it,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So like it's not on you.
Speaker 3: This one's on like God.
Speaker 2: Gone in the ocean's fall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not your faults. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: It's embarrassing for me though, I'm just like being an adult,
Speaker 2: enjoy the food. There are millions and millions of people
Speaker 2: who like to eat this sort of food. What's wrong
Speaker 2: with me?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Truly, though, be a grown up. Get that fucking clam
Speaker 3: down your throat like a goddamn grown up.
Speaker 2: It's so embarrassing. It's I feel like, you know, you
Speaker 2: feel like you really are such a sophisticated eater. And
Speaker 2: then you get to something like that, you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: you're a child, You're a baby about everything. Grow up.
Speaker 3: But that's okay. You can just now you're a person
Speaker 3: who knows. I prefer my clams cooked.
Speaker 2: I've decided I just don't like a clam, all right,
Speaker 2: even a fried clam. I'm like, this is too chewy? Yah,
Speaker 2: why does anyone care about this food?
Speaker 3: What about a qua hog?
Speaker 2: What's that?
Speaker 3: Oh, it's like in Rhode Island a specialty. It's I
Speaker 3: think it's a clam. It's definitely in a shell, but
Speaker 3: they like breaded and oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Is it big or small?
Speaker 3: It's big, but it's not like a chewy. It's cooked
Speaker 3: and it's like with bread.
Speaker 2: And how do you do? You know how to spell that?
Speaker 3: It's like quee u a a show ugw.
Speaker 2: Hog the or the accent is kind of just built
Speaker 2: into that.
Speaker 3: It is squahoga hoog wow. Yeah, it's something like that.
Speaker 2: And it is a seafood though. Yeah you like them?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Interesting?
Speaker 3: I mean I like them fine, I'm not like, oh,
Speaker 3: can't wait to get a Rhode Island and have a quahog?
Speaker 2: How have I never heard of a quahog.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I love saying that. It's fun, right, Yeah, it feels
Speaker 2: like I've got some sort of I have a difficult
Speaker 2: time saying something wag cohog. Yeah, now I have to
Speaker 2: try that. Maybe that's the final clam.
Speaker 3: I'll try last clam, last clam.
Speaker 2: Oysters similarly, I mean, the nice thing about an oyster
Speaker 2: is it's more of a just a swallowing situation where
Speaker 2: you just kind of throw it back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that has like all that you can put
Speaker 3: all the sauce on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just salt a and sauce and slightly slimy.
Speaker 2: Where's a clam requires chewing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to use teeth for that.
Speaker 2: Did you have any other difficult things to eat in Japan?
Speaker 3: No? Really, I mean mostly everything was so great, and
Speaker 3: you think you're gonna eat sushi the whole time. But
Speaker 3: it's mostly like ramen and udon.
Speaker 2: Yes, very like comfort foods, very salty, so great, almost
Speaker 2: deeply unhealthy things.
Speaker 3: Yes that we find, yes, well we're there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Also like Italian food. They have very good Italian food.
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't have Italian food.
Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently, actually I probably should. This is probably not
Speaker 2: an actual fact. This is just someone who's jet lag.
Speaker 2: But I think, like the second most popular food in
Speaker 2: Japan is Italian food. Maybe that is true. That is
Speaker 2: a fact.
Speaker 3: Yes, email, send it to the email in sixteen. Send
Speaker 3: it to him.
Speaker 2: You ask any Japanese person, they say number two favorite
Speaker 2: food Italian Italian. No, I had some very good pizza there. Actually,
Speaker 2: I think that's the end of that.
Speaker 3: And nothing says Italian like pizza. Where were you were
Speaker 3: you in Tokyo?
Speaker 2: We went to Tokyo, Hakone and Kyoto.
Speaker 3: That's what I did.
Speaker 2: Oh great, the ultimate tourist. True, it's so lovely.
Speaker 3: It's so lovely.
Speaker 2: It's interesting to be in a country where, at least
Speaker 2: on the surface, everyone seems to care.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think everybody's so nice. And we went with
Speaker 3: our Japanese friend, Junko. Shout out Junko Nakamura. She's amazing.
Speaker 3: But it was she spoke Japanese obviously, which is great,
Speaker 3: except then she also would get into conversations with people
Speaker 3: where we selfish jerk Americans would be.
Speaker 2: Like could you please involve us or like.
Speaker 3: Let's go you know, next thing, and she'd be like
Speaker 3: paying respect and like it's very respectful and.
Speaker 2: Just being a nice person in general.
Speaker 3: It is kind of exhausting. The niceness.
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean sometimes you just want someone to be
Speaker 2: to have no time for you, right, just be like,
Speaker 2: this is my job, get out of my phone.
Speaker 3: Ye keep going yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone there, like it seemed to everyone cared about
Speaker 2: their job and wanting our experience to be good. And
Speaker 2: this wasn't just like being a tourus. This was like
Speaker 2: you know, at a coffee shop or whatever, it's like,
Speaker 2: oh someone is they care?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no trash on the street. You're like, what
Speaker 3: is this?
Speaker 2: Getting back to La It's a lot fascinating experience.
Speaker 3: It's like coming back from the woods too, Like if
Speaker 3: you're in the woods and you land in La and
Speaker 3: the drive from lax to You're like, why why do
Speaker 3: I live here? It's so awful?
Speaker 2: It so sorry. My boyfriend while there is like, what
Speaker 2: if we get back and we just don't want to
Speaker 2: be I mean, what if this has ruined our life?
Speaker 2: And that's a real possibility when you're in Japan to
Speaker 2: just be like you can experience that the world doesn't
Speaker 2: have to just be garbage everywhere. Yeah, and people being
Speaker 2: rude to each other.
Speaker 3: Japan will take you.
Speaker 2: I bet yeah, they size wise. I felt very very
Speaker 2: at home.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, towering.
Speaker 2: Even My boyfriend is six two and hit his at
Speaker 2: least once a day, constantly running into door frames or
Speaker 2: of this sort of thing. And I was just buzzing
Speaker 2: through town.
Speaker 3: For you, hitting the counter at just the right height everywhere.
Speaker 2: You are so good. I don't feel so small. Yeah,
Speaker 2: although it feels sometimes, it feels nice to feel small
Speaker 2: here where I can kind of just dart about like
Speaker 2: a hobbit or something that notice me a little else, yeah,
Speaker 2: a little, Yes, there's nothing. There's nothing wrong with that,
Speaker 2: except for when you're trying to reach a shelf here
Speaker 2: in the United States or some you're shopping and you
Speaker 2: have to like you need a hook to get something down, yes,
Speaker 2: or a footstool.
Speaker 3: I often will be like, excuse me, tall, tall ser
Speaker 3: or you there with the long arms, could you reach
Speaker 3: that yogurt for me?
Speaker 2: Exactly? You don't have to climb the shelves of the
Speaker 2: grocery store.
Speaker 3: That can climbing a shelf.
Speaker 2: Oh, climbing a.
Speaker 3: Shelf, climb a shelf.
Speaker 2: I bought a footstool for my house a few years ago.
Speaker 2: What a feeling. It feels amazing. Yeah, like do not
Speaker 2: have to get up on the count kitchen counter to
Speaker 2: reach something? Now I'm like, oh, this is how everyone
Speaker 2: else feels, where they can just reach reach it.
Speaker 3: But I kind of like to climb up on stuff
Speaker 3: because I'm like, at my age, I can still jump
Speaker 3: down from a counter with a can of beans in
Speaker 3: both hands.
Speaker 2: I just have these horrifying memories of elementary school teachers
Speaker 2: getting up on counters and me sitting there that below
Speaker 2: and me like they're going to fall off, And I
Speaker 2: remember one of them did fall off, and I thought
Speaker 2: that could be me. So now I've got my footstool
Speaker 2: and I'm up there. I'm reaching the baking ingredients, I'm
Speaker 2: reaching my cereal with no with no help.
Speaker 3: And this is your kickstarter. Yeah you're type of foot Yeah,
Speaker 3: your own footstools.
Speaker 2: There's nothing different about them from regular footstools.
Speaker 3: There, yours, they're my foot stools.
Speaker 2: There'll be years in development, the backers will never.
Speaker 3: Get their product perfect.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Japan was lovely and that's all I can think
Speaker 2: about all the time. And the trip back, I slept
Speaker 2: for maybe ten minutes. The man next to me had
Speaker 2: a face mask earplugs, a cushion. He slept. He didn't
Speaker 2: even lean his chair back. He slept the entire sitting
Speaker 2: straight up. I was like, is this guy a spy?
Speaker 2: How did he learn to do this? Because I'm leaned
Speaker 2: all the way back, I'm doing everything in my power.
Speaker 2: Could not fall asleep.
Speaker 3: Horrim Melatonin.
Speaker 2: I can't take melatonin. This is actually a long running
Speaker 2: topic on this podcast, which full I can't take melatonin.
Speaker 2: I can't take like benadril to fall asleep. They all
Speaker 2: have the opposite effect on me, and they keep me awake.
Speaker 3: I felt that way about morphine. Have you ever had morphine?
Speaker 2: I don't think that I've had morphine.
Speaker 3: I had to go into the hospital because I had
Speaker 3: eaten a bad chicken caesar salad.
Speaker 2: Oh, where can you name the player in Mississippi?
Speaker 3: Okay, at a restaurant in Mississippi. And it wasn't that
Speaker 3: everything goes out kind it was the everything stays in.
Speaker 3: And then I got like, I think sepsis. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: but it hurts so much like driving to the hospital
Speaker 3: when we go over a bump. It was like, oh,
Speaker 3: so when we got to the hospital, I got morphine
Speaker 3: and it made my body feel morphine right, but my
Speaker 3: brain was like I got to solve every problem that's
Speaker 3: ever happened in this world, and I'm going to do
Speaker 3: it right now. And also everyone's making noise shut.
Speaker 2: It was that almost sounds like sleep paralysis or something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like not really in control of your body anymore, but
Speaker 2: your brain keeps going, Oh how long did that last hour?
Speaker 3: A few hours?
Speaker 2: And I was like, Morphine's not for me, but it
Speaker 2: took care of the chicken Caesar.
Speaker 3: Well, the morphine didn't, but the four days in the hospital,
Speaker 3: four to five days in the hospital.
Speaker 2: Did have you had a chicken Caesar since?
Speaker 3: No, I've had no chicken since.
Speaker 2: How long has it been?
Speaker 3: Almost twenty years?
Speaker 2: Oh my god? Did it turn you vegetarian?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well pascatarian. I still got to be able to
Speaker 3: chew those clams.
Speaker 2: Of course you get those clams. Yeah, well you should
Speaker 2: write a yell p review of the restaurant twenty years later.
Speaker 3: I should still reeling from my experience.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's awful. Yeah, that's really taking.
Speaker 3: It was likely the caesar salad dressing with ra I
Speaker 3: feel like that's.
Speaker 2: Or the lettuce. Lettuce is a secret culprit of a
Speaker 2: lot of food poison.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but more E coli normally right food?
Speaker 2: Do you think you're talking to you? I don't know.
Speaker 3: Oh, I was like, I don't know. Do you know
Speaker 3: everything about E col i?
Speaker 2: Came with such a with such a strong opinion there,
Speaker 2: like I really knew. Yeah, but I've just heard that
Speaker 2: lettuce is often the thing that you don't think about,
Speaker 2: and it's like, oh, that's what poisoned you because someone
Speaker 2: didn't wash the lettuce.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but this spinach.
Speaker 2: The spinach, your leafy greeneh, essentially will poison you. I
Speaker 2: had a club sandwich a couple of years ago, and
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it was the lettuce that did it.
Speaker 2: What board the mayo? Again, it's there are so many
Speaker 2: things poison the meat.
Speaker 3: We had a and my I was in a sorority
Speaker 3: in college and we had a deli tray that just
Speaker 3: took us all out.
Speaker 2: Oh excuse me to be poisoned by a deli tray.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the entire sorority.
Speaker 2: That's some That deli meat must have been left out
Speaker 2: for a while.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: So it's slimy and grow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the like little pretty marbling, like an oil
Speaker 3: spill on your turkey.
Speaker 2: Oh, now I see this is a deli meat. I
Speaker 2: think is one thing that could turn me vegetarian. It's
Speaker 2: just like the deli meat. What are any of us.
Speaker 3: Just an animal being lied to paper thin?
Speaker 2: Oh my apologies to anyone eating anything this entire episode.
Speaker 3: Well we speak for the animals. Put your sandwich, Do
Speaker 3: you put your sandwich in your leafy greens down?
Speaker 2: Stop eating?
Speaker 3: Stop eating? You just need your food.
Speaker 2: Could be poisoning, poisoning you. Oh, we've got to get
Speaker 2: off this topic. I'm happy to get off this topic.
Speaker 3: What else should we talk about?
Speaker 2: There's something else I don't want to talk about, but
Speaker 2: I feel like we should. Look, I was happy to
Speaker 2: have you here today. It was excited to have Mary
Speaker 2: Elizabeth here. But uh, there's a bit. There's a butt here,
Speaker 2: there's an absolute butt here. The podcast is called I
Speaker 2: said no gifts, no gifts, And look, I assume you
Speaker 2: got one email or someone got a phone call, an
Speaker 2: email with the title of the podcast. Hopefully this came
Speaker 2: across your desk at some point. I don't know that
Speaker 2: you paid any attention to it because you come in today.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited to have you here. I thought we'd
Speaker 2: have a nice conversation that nothing would go wrong and
Speaker 2: that we'd move on with our lives. But you came
Speaker 2: in holding what I'm looking at it now, I'm holding
Speaker 2: it now, clearly a gift, this gift for me.
Speaker 3: Well, I I don't take no for an answer.
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, Yeah, very defiant.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And if I want you to have a gift,
Speaker 3: you're gonna have it. Also, I'm not good enough. So
Speaker 3: if I bring you at present.
Speaker 2: This is something you're working through with yourself.
Speaker 3: We're really getting into it. Maybe you'll like me. It
Speaker 3: depends on what's inside.
Speaker 2: This is all just trying to earn my respect. Then yes,
Speaker 2: And unfortunately you've failed in a huge way here, damn it.
Speaker 2: So I mean, but maybe you'll come back once after
Speaker 2: I open it. Maybe there's something in here that will
Speaker 2: finally win my favorite.
Speaker 3: We'll see.
Speaker 2: Okay, should I open it here on the podcast?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Are you going to smoke that cigarette while you
Speaker 3: open it?
Speaker 2: Or I probably should? I should light up. There's just
Speaker 2: this for the listener that's not watching the video. There
Speaker 2: is just kind of a loose cigarette.
Speaker 3: It looks like a menthol.
Speaker 2: It's a I'm trying to think of that's a real cigarette.
Speaker 2: Or a stage cigarette.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course we used it for our fifth anniversary episode.
Speaker 2: And I can't remember if I bought actual cigarettes or
Speaker 2: like smells Herbie. It's probably an HERB cigarette. I've never
Speaker 2: smoked a real cigarette. Cute, isn't that sweet? So I
Speaker 2: have to imagine, are you a current smoker?
Speaker 3: No, I will have an occasional occasional cigarette.
Speaker 2: Were you a smoker for a while?
Speaker 3: I was when I was like in college.
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, college kid, so cool? Ultimately a badass?
Speaker 3: I would say, please tell everyone.
Speaker 2: That's kind of the word around town about you. Thank
Speaker 2: you the ultimate badass.
Speaker 3: Great, that's all I want.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get that out about me. I think
Speaker 2: it's pretty obvious.
Speaker 3: Let's get tattoos. Yes, let's go for Okay, do you
Speaker 3: have any tato so many? I'm not trying to prove anything.
Speaker 3: It's fine.
Speaker 2: You did drive up on a very loud motor so
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 3: I do have my motorcycle license?
Speaker 2: Is that true?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: That's exciting.
Speaker 3: It was exciting.
Speaker 2: Do you drive a motorcycle now? No? No? Do you
Speaker 2: have to reap it every year?
Speaker 3: I got? I passed my driving test, my motorcycle riding course,
Speaker 3: I passed it. The person was like, let's see you passed,
Speaker 3: and I was like I did, Like I should not
Speaker 3: be riding a motorcycle in the streets. And then I
Speaker 3: was going to go take my DMV test and COVID happened.
Speaker 3: Oh and then I got an e bike and then
Speaker 3: I broke Well you can't see it because my tattoo
Speaker 3: is covered by stage makeup from my television show. But
Speaker 3: I broke my arm. I shattered my radius. Oh so
Speaker 3: now I'm scared. Oh my god, it didn't feel good.
Speaker 2: You fell off completely, or you crash into something.
Speaker 3: I've like my the back wheel of my e bike
Speaker 3: hit like dirt, and I just.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's terrifying. Yeah, I'm glad. That's all it was.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yes see that for me, I'd never get on one again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just over. I got back on the e bike.
Speaker 3: I'm scared. But anyway, let's get touch it.
Speaker 2: Let's get okay, let me open up this gift here. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm reaching in. It's a little blue bag, which I
Speaker 2: think is so cute. Now it feels like there's two
Speaker 2: things in here. Is that? Does it matter what order
Speaker 2: they come out in? Okay? The first thing I'm feeling
Speaker 2: is some sort of card or thin Okay, two different cards. Okay,
Speaker 2: whoa you?
Speaker 3: Oh it's true this first Yeah, the first.
Speaker 2: Card says words to guide and inspire your day. You
Speaker 2: are loved and on the.
Speaker 3: That's from me, though you are loved, just from me.
Speaker 3: It's sat inside of it. No, the same one. Okay, Yes,
Speaker 3: you can pop open the little front of the card.
Speaker 2: See you're very care because it feels like I'm gonna
Speaker 2: break this.
Speaker 3: I don't think you can.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's almost like an advent calendar.
Speaker 3: Yes, and that's a message from the universe for you.
Speaker 2: Should I read it?
Speaker 3: And they're all different. What does yours say?
Speaker 2: You are already as courageous as you need to be? Disagree?
Speaker 2: What if it's time? What if you're ready to.
Speaker 3: Get a tattoo?
Speaker 2: That might be true?
Speaker 3: Yeah, or maybe you don't have to get a tattoo
Speaker 3: because you're already as courageous as you need to be.
Speaker 2: This is a very this to me. If this given
Speaker 2: to the wrong person would have ends up with them
Speaker 2: assassinating somebody.
Speaker 3: Well maybe that's what the universe wants. Maybe that was
Speaker 3: a bad person that would be such an incredible beginning
Speaker 3: of like like John Wick movie, Like he's like, do
Speaker 3: I kill someone? And then he opens this like sweet
Speaker 3: card and he's like, I guess everyone dies?
Speaker 2: I mean may this killing spirit Yeah, it's international killing spury.
Speaker 2: That's a good movie. Yeah, it's like, uh, you know
Speaker 2: Taro gone wrong. Yes, spirituality leads to d d well.
Speaker 2: I really like that, and I think we should all
Speaker 2: take that into account. What if it's time, what if
Speaker 2: you're ready, yeah to go on your international killing spree. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I hope this doesn't now. I hope the podcast. Now,
Speaker 2: that's another movie where a podcast inspires somebody to god.
Speaker 3: And you're about to take it on the road. Do
Speaker 3: you have so much power? You have to really, you
Speaker 3: got to check yourself. It's a good thing you have
Speaker 3: a nice team around you, because you're out of control.
Speaker 2: I'm absolutely out of control. I'm pushing too many boundaries. Agreed,
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable. Okay. So I've got this beautiful little card.
Speaker 2: Do you buy these? Like by the package? How do
Speaker 2: you get this thing? It's almost like a Valentine. I
Speaker 2: really like it.
Speaker 3: Say that it's from a large shipping conglomerate that may
Speaker 3: or may not be ruining our the Earth, our planet.
Speaker 3: But maybe you can get them from a small local store.
Speaker 2: Okay, it seems like something that you could buy locally. Yeah,
Speaker 2: buy your Tarot gift card from the universe at your
Speaker 2: local Crystal store rather than your giant company.
Speaker 3: Yes, Amazon, we all know what we're we're saying it.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, We're all guilty.
Speaker 2: We're all guilty, and that's fine.
Speaker 5: What it is. It just is what it is.
Speaker 2: It is what it is.
Speaker 3: You know what we're feeling bad about it.
Speaker 2: We're feeling as long as you feel bad about yourself
Speaker 2: and everything you do all the time, do whatever.
Speaker 3: Whatever you want. You're courageous enough that would.
Speaker 2: Be a good thing in one of these cards. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: And now I've also got an Aroma Coffee and Tea
Speaker 2: company gift card.
Speaker 3: I did hear you say how much you like gift cards.
Speaker 2: I love gift cards and they're also paralyzing for me.
Speaker 3: Yes, great, I've had that one for two to three years.
Speaker 2: This lines up with the way I treat gift cards.
Speaker 3: I heard on your podcast, and so I've passed it
Speaker 3: on to you. Which is also sort of like a
Speaker 3: horror film, like, Yeah, this is what is that.
Speaker 2: Uh, it follows.
Speaker 3: So now I've put the disease in you, and it's
Speaker 3: yours until you pass it along to someone else.
Speaker 2: Gift follows.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also a great coffee shot.
Speaker 2: I've heard good things about this place. I have a
Speaker 2: friend who goes here to write.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so maybe you can pass it on to them,
Speaker 3: but then.
Speaker 2: She'll use it.
Speaker 3: Oh boring, and.
Speaker 2: Then the company is probably maybe these are like they're
Speaker 2: counting on this twenty five dollars or whatever to like
Speaker 2: to keep them afloat. They're like, if someone spends this card,
Speaker 2: where you go out of business.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Amazon takes over Amazon finally bias, so see that
Speaker 3: cancels the other one out.
Speaker 2: Oh very interesting. Yeah, this balances the universe.
Speaker 3: So it's almost like I haven't given you anything at all.
Speaker 2: Net neutral Yeah, just absolutely zero here, Yeah, which I like,
Speaker 2: but you asked for. The thing is is if I
Speaker 2: spend this, this could spend send the world into a
Speaker 2: spiral that we may never recover from again.
Speaker 3: You have ultimate power.
Speaker 2: This is what's the movie with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan,
Speaker 2: the Bookstore movie Emailing.
Speaker 3: Oh you got Mail?
Speaker 2: You got Mail? This is kind of a You've Got
Speaker 2: Mail where the big company's trying to buy Is that
Speaker 2: what happens? And he's trying to buy out this small
Speaker 2: I brought you here today on your expert opinion. How
Speaker 2: about you've got mailed?
Speaker 3: Oh you asked the wrong person.
Speaker 2: Neither of us has seen this movie, not in a
Speaker 2: long time. I've never seen it. But I got the
Speaker 2: general idea.
Speaker 3: I think, m h, there's there's email.
Speaker 2: There's email and books and buying.
Speaker 3: And romance and romance, comedy.
Speaker 2: And comedy and a little bit of heart.
Speaker 3: So much heart.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I've got this gift card and you've kept
Speaker 2: it for three years, I think, So what's your When
Speaker 2: someone gives you a gift card? Is that generally how
Speaker 2: it goes? We're like, well, I just can't yeah, forget
Speaker 2: about it, and we'll spend it.
Speaker 3: It's I think that it got given to me by
Speaker 3: the PTA of my son's school. Okay, volunteering. Oh, that's
Speaker 3: which is very nice. But then he graduated from that campus.
Speaker 2: Okay, right, so I never go there to that oh right.
Speaker 2: And so you'd have to be in the neighborhood, and
Speaker 2: then it would also have to be in your wallet.
Speaker 3: Yes, it would have to be in my wallet.
Speaker 2: And how many gift cards can have one person have
Speaker 2: in their wallet. You can't have it for every area.
Speaker 3: Of the simple I get, like the Gelson's, our local
Speaker 3: grocery store, sens is like a five dollars off coupon.
Speaker 2: Oh right, five dollars off. At Gelson's, you're still I mean.
Speaker 3: At the strawberries that are only fifteen ninety nine and
Speaker 3: rotten mostly Girlson's.
Speaker 2: Don't get me started.
Speaker 3: I know, I'm also I'm I hope you hear this. Glsons.
Speaker 3: You need to get something happening with your produce. It
Speaker 3: is not not fresh.
Speaker 2: This is my take on Gelson's. It is Ralph's. But
Speaker 2: the only thing that's different is the pricing. Yeah. It's
Speaker 2: not like you know, you'll go to I don't know,
Speaker 2: Whole Foods or whatever and you're like, oh, I can
Speaker 2: notice a difference here. Yes, as you go to a Gelson's,
Speaker 2: you're like, this is literally the same stuff.
Speaker 3: There's no different brands. It's not like going to Trader
Speaker 3: Joe's where you're like, oh, this Trader Joe's brand thing
Speaker 3: of things that I can't get anywhere else.
Speaker 2: No, it's just literally the grocery store pricing timestand but
Speaker 2: it's so close to my home. I think that's where
Speaker 2: they really get you. They've got the proximity, and they've got,
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, a wine bar.
Speaker 3: And they have a wine bar for whatever reason. For
Speaker 3: your grocery store wine bar time leads.
Speaker 2: When you spend nine dollars on a gallon of milk,
Speaker 2: you need a drink.
Speaker 3: That's true. That's I got to get drunk to shop there.
Speaker 2: Everyone's just stumbling through the store behind their grocery car. Yes,
Speaker 2: how did we get to Gelson's pricing? Let's see.
Speaker 3: I don't know your jet lag. I don't know what's
Speaker 3: wrong with me.
Speaker 2: I need a little bit more coffee here.
Speaker 3: I'll take a coffee break too. I'm excited for you
Speaker 3: to open. What else is in your back?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to get back into here because there's
Speaker 2: almost feels like there's a If I had to guess
Speaker 2: right now, I'd be like, this is an action figure.
Speaker 2: But we'll see what it is. See, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: it kind of is.
Speaker 3: It kind of is and it matches your shirt.
Speaker 2: Look at that a unicorn. Look how beautiful that look.
Speaker 2: It's just like you almost exactly the color of my shirt.
Speaker 2: Where did this come.
Speaker 3: From well, okay, sweet unicorns are just my favorite and
Speaker 3: I just love them, and so I have them. I
Speaker 3: have like I have like a box of gift things
Speaker 3: where like if it's like a birthday or someone's special
Speaker 3: occasion or something, and then I wrap them a gift.
Speaker 3: I'll wrap like a little unicorn or a little like
Speaker 3: rainbow catcher, like light catcher on the outside.
Speaker 2: Where are you getting your unicorns?
Speaker 3: A small local store?
Speaker 2: Your local unicorns?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not Amazon.
Speaker 2: Do you have like a box of unicorns? I do?
Speaker 3: I have unicorn bulk.
Speaker 2: Wow. That's whimsical. Thank you, very whimsical. Have you been
Speaker 2: a unicorn person your whole life? Yes? Okay, I like
Speaker 2: the confidence there.
Speaker 3: Yes, I love a unicorn.
Speaker 2: Where did it begin?
Speaker 3: Probably Shira?
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
Speaker 3: She had a pegasus?
Speaker 2: Did she ride it?
Speaker 3: She wrote a pegasus and that also been a unicorn.
Speaker 2: Pegasus is a unicorn with wings as well.
Speaker 3: Correct doesn't necessarily have a horn. I don't know if
Speaker 3: hers did wings.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Also, do you remember did you ever watch Oh Fantasia
Speaker 3: by Disney?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course the original? Yes, there were like a
Speaker 3: bunch of pegasus and that Pegasi Pegasi of course, thank you,
Speaker 3: and unicorns, and I just love magic, magical fairies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I unicorns within the world of fantasy. I think
Speaker 2: you're just kind of of course. I love a horse
Speaker 2: with a horn that can fly and do these magical things.
Speaker 2: I feel like you don't see as many unicorns in
Speaker 2: popular media anymore. Yeah, it feels like even in fantasy movies,
Speaker 2: they're not putting them in. I think that's the one thing,
Speaker 2: except for there's that.
Speaker 3: New movie, new unicorn movie.
Speaker 2: Wait, isn't there like a movie about unicorns or something?
Speaker 3: Movie?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're doing a twenty four movie. What does that call?
Speaker 2: It's not the last Unicorn? That's another thing.
Speaker 3: Is it like, no, I hit a unicorn with my car.
Speaker 3: I feel like the killing of a sigt unicorn. Then
Speaker 3: you just couldn't handle our You are so ready top
Speaker 3: for that. That's why we blocked out the death part.
Speaker 2: They hit it with a car. I don't know, it's
Speaker 2: I know what you did last summer basically, So the unicorn,
Speaker 2: the car, it's a movieing Merlin is trying to track
Speaker 2: you down or something.
Speaker 3: Watch it.
Speaker 2: Let's see. My little pony is not unicorns. That's just pos.
Speaker 3: They have some unicorns. I guess this is and also
Speaker 3: Rainbow Bright. I think there was a unicorn and that
Speaker 3: one in that Yeah.
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
Speaker 3: It was the very eighties totally.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't feel like there's that unicorn. You know,
Speaker 2: there's not like one famous is there? Who's our most
Speaker 2: famous unicorn? Is the big question?
Speaker 3: Who is our most famous unicorn?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Like a Mickey Mouse kind of a unicorn? Right, there's space.
Speaker 3: We found a gap in the market.
Speaker 2: We need a unicorn with a name. Yeah, is there
Speaker 2: a single name unicorn? That's the big question. God, God
Speaker 2: is a unicorn?
Speaker 3: God is a unicorn? I believe it.
Speaker 2: There's that that book, that children's book, The Last Unicorn.
Speaker 2: But I don't even know if that that became a movie. Correct.
Speaker 3: That movie was intense.
Speaker 2: But look at us, we can't remember that unicorn's name.
Speaker 3: I'm disappointed in myself.
Speaker 2: I know, I'm you came here, you came in pretty hot.
Speaker 2: Unicorn wise, you can't name a single unicorn?
Speaker 3: Well, I can name all of them. That's the thing.
Speaker 3: They all get mixed together.
Speaker 2: There are plenty of famous horses.
Speaker 3: Yeah, National Velvet thought it's name.
Speaker 2: National.
Speaker 3: That's a famous horse movie, isn't it? With Liz Liz
Speaker 3: of White Diamonds fame going. She was famous, She was
Speaker 3: friends with Michael Jackson. She had a perfume called White Diamonds.
Speaker 2: Liz Taylor. Sure, she's in a movie about a horse
Speaker 2: named National Velvet.
Speaker 1: I believe.
Speaker 2: So does she ride National Velvet?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Horse names are psycho when we get like real horse
Speaker 2: names like that, it's like who when you name a
Speaker 2: horse and you do that sort of naming, you are
Speaker 2: revealing something very weird about yourself. I like it.
Speaker 3: I like, I want to shirre that says horse names
Speaker 3: are psycho.
Speaker 5: It's worse than you even thought because the National Velot
Speaker 5: was the name of the film. But the horse is
Speaker 5: the Pie, the original horse, Pie Pie.
Speaker 2: The Pie. And now that's kind of a stupid name.
Speaker 3: The Pi E P I E the Pie.
Speaker 2: I wish it was the private investigator.
Speaker 3: Private investigator, What are you going to do? I'm going
Speaker 3: to ride that pie. I'm going to ride that pie.
Speaker 2: The pie. The horse is called the pie, the pie.
Speaker 2: So when you're talking to it, you have to say, hello,
Speaker 2: the pie.
Speaker 3: Drop it, the pie?
Speaker 4: Drop it?
Speaker 3: Do you say that to a horse?
Speaker 2: I think your horses constantly have things in their mouth.
Speaker 3: Ye, leave it.
Speaker 2: It's chewing up a big piece of bone or whatever,
Speaker 2: just like drop the bone, the pie, the pie, the pie.
Speaker 2: But national velvet, God knows what that even means. Then
Speaker 2: what does national velvet refer to? Does Liz Taylor play
Speaker 2: national velvet?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Is velvet the fabric of the ribbon
Speaker 3: that you win?
Speaker 2: You get the national velvet? Yeah, the pie gets the
Speaker 2: national velvet.
Speaker 3: Everyone wants these twelve yards of fabric.
Speaker 2: Wow, national velvet.
Speaker 3: I really don't know.
Speaker 2: Wow. The fact that you were able to pull that
Speaker 2: film is.
Speaker 3: But not the Taylor who knows a brain is a
Speaker 3: brand is a weird.
Speaker 2: As far as celebrity names goes mine is the most broken.
Speaker 2: I cannot name a celebrity. The fact that I was
Speaker 2: able to pull up Elizabeth Taylor was I think I
Speaker 2: deserve a lot of.
Speaker 3: Credit because I can't name on your emails.
Speaker 2: Everyone, Yes, your ribbons, your National velvet vels. I deserve it.
Speaker 2: I can't name my favorite celebrities. I have a very
Speaker 2: hard time with that, really, And I brought this up
Speaker 2: to my boyfriend. I was like, maybe there's something wrong
Speaker 2: with me mentally, or maybe my brain is breaking. Down,
Speaker 2: and he just brushed it off. So if something goes wrong,
Speaker 2: it's his fault, okay, because I've warned him, Yes, and
Speaker 2: I've also warned you, and I warned all of our listeners.
Speaker 3: Now it's all of our faults.
Speaker 2: Everyone's responsible but me. Okay, unicorns, unicorns, and we named
Speaker 2: what we didn't name a single horse after me saying
Speaker 2: they were famous horses. You said National Velvet, We learned
Speaker 2: the pie. There's ed your seabiscuit.
Speaker 3: Oh that's a pretty famous horse.
Speaker 2: M And that's the end of my list, I guess.
Speaker 2: But again, two more than a unicorn, I would say. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then there's the movie about the unicorn getting hit
Speaker 2: by a car.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a movie called a Unicorn Store.
Speaker 2: What's that?
Speaker 3: I think that Bree Larsen directed it.
Speaker 2: Oh so it's new, No, it's well is compared to Velvet? Yeah,
Speaker 2: newer than that Unicorn Store. Yeah, do you know what
Speaker 2: that's about. I don't know why I'm asking you.
Speaker 3: You know what, it's about a lot of movie. I
Speaker 3: have a lot of movies to watch.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: I got to get back to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll check in with you periodically. Be able to
Speaker 2: see National Velvet did you see unicorns?
Speaker 3: It can be a new section of your podcast where
Speaker 3: you just call me and ask me if I've seen
Speaker 3: the movies that you want to know about.
Speaker 2: It'll be years. You'll never watch any of them, but
Speaker 2: we'll keep calling, calling and calling.
Speaker 3: I probably won't. I don't think i'll watch those.
Speaker 2: I have a hard time. You know, I'll put movies
Speaker 2: on a list and I never get to the list. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is something I do. I'm going to reveal a
Speaker 2: secret about myself. When someone recommends something to me. If
Speaker 2: I say I'll put that on my list.
Speaker 3: You mean fuck off.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, it's like it's not happening. It's just not Yeah,
Speaker 2: it will have to be purely by mistake that I
Speaker 2: watch your recommendation. You know I don't, and I don't
Speaker 2: know why that is.
Speaker 3: What do you gravitate toward, Like if you were to sit.
Speaker 2: Down, just whatever is immediately in front of me, Oh, okay,
Speaker 2: or that's valid. I think this might be Tell me
Speaker 2: if this is true. I think most people have a
Speaker 2: hard time actually taking a recommendation. I feel like when
Speaker 2: I recommend something, I don't trust that anyone's ever gonna
Speaker 2: actually even with I think the closest you'll come is this.
Speaker 2: If it's a song, someone might listen to a three
Speaker 2: minute thing, do you recommend? But and then I think
Speaker 2: there are categories. It's like maybe a song mm hm,
Speaker 2: potentially a YouTube video okay, next level TV episode of
Speaker 2: a TV show, okay, what would be the next movie?
Speaker 2: And then book book is probably the last thing someone's.
Speaker 3: Gonna Actually, a restaurant are we only talking?
Speaker 2: Restaurant is number one? Okay? Maybe even before a song.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you say that.
Speaker 3: You'll try a restaurant?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: But does it depend on where it is?
Speaker 2: Location is important? Yeah, if it's a restaurant within ten minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: people probably.
Speaker 3: Are like in Japan, like if I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: you're going to try this?
Speaker 2: I mean, although I had probably nine people send me
Speaker 2: lists of things to do in Japan, I probably took
Speaker 2: one recommendation.
Speaker 3: Right, which is something one on a nine ain't bad.
Speaker 2: But you like, if I were to say, oh, you
Speaker 2: have to hear the song, would you actually listen to it?
Speaker 3: Probably?
Speaker 2: Okay? And I think you would have to have it
Speaker 2: be sent to you.
Speaker 3: I will, I will. I like I like a reason
Speaker 3: to judge someone.
Speaker 2: So that's a great Yeah, wait to think about this,
Speaker 2: if I could reframe it in my mind as I
Speaker 2: get to judge them, I'll.
Speaker 3: Get to judge you and decide if your taste is good,
Speaker 3: if you're worth being a person or not. But I
Speaker 3: think like, as you know, if people recommend things and
Speaker 3: you try them, and then if you're like, Okay, my
Speaker 3: taste kind of aligns with this person's taste, you.
Speaker 2: Know, right, I think that's the way to go, where
Speaker 2: it's like the song is a nice little teaser, and
Speaker 2: if that works for you, you can start asking this
Speaker 2: person for more things.
Speaker 3: Yes, do you send like like videos to friends on Instagram?
Speaker 2: I'm so careful. I'm maybe more careful than I need
Speaker 2: to be, uh, because I maybe it's because I'm so
Speaker 2: annoyed by people sending me things. I'm like, this has
Speaker 2: to be perfect for me to send it to somebody.
Speaker 2: And then maybe it's the pressure I'm putting myself. But
Speaker 2: it's very rare that I'll send somebody a video maybe
Speaker 2: like you know, like on Instagram, there will be like
Speaker 2: a reductrous me or ClickHole thing that you have to
Speaker 2: read seven words. I might send that okay video. I
Speaker 2: have to be really sure of myself. What about you
Speaker 2: do you?
Speaker 3: I think yeah, Like different groups of people have become
Speaker 3: like different things, Like I have two friends in a
Speaker 3: group chat called pop Parade where we just send like pop.
Speaker 2: Puppy that's great to each other or yes, yeah.
Speaker 3: And that's nice. And if I have another group of
Speaker 3: friends like my closest friends, and if someone sends me
Speaker 3: a video that I'm not into, I will be like,
Speaker 3: I'm not into this video.
Speaker 2: You're that honest?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because like, let's curate this. Don't be sending me
Speaker 3: more of this. I'm not I don't care for it.
Speaker 3: And I hope that the same thing will be said
Speaker 3: to me, like no, thank you to this one, like okay, okay,
Speaker 3: your taste is not going in that direction.
Speaker 2: That is so healthy, That is such a healthy the
Speaker 2: behavior because that is the opposite of me, where I
Speaker 2: will no matter what anybody sends me, I will not
Speaker 2: express my unless I really I'll tell someone if I
Speaker 2: really love it, but I'll never say I don't love something, which.
Speaker 3: You'll just never speak to them again. I slowly left
Speaker 3: that friendship trouble into the sea.
Speaker 2: No. I'm on a text thread with two other friends
Speaker 2: and we send each other music all the time, and
Speaker 2: two of us I think we're brought up in houses
Speaker 2: that never wanted to keep things as that everything's fine
Speaker 2: as possible. And the other person was a house wherever
Speaker 2: everyone was honest with each other. And he'll constantly be like,
Speaker 2: I don't like this, I don't like this, and I
Speaker 2: think my other friend and I will be.
Speaker 3: Like, oh that hurts it though, Yeah, that means you
Speaker 3: don't like me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's reflection of my being my good as a person. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he's just being honest, which is totally fine. I'm
Speaker 2: slowly learning that that's an okay thing to do.
Speaker 3: I think it comes with age, right, I hope so
Speaker 3: I think so where it's like, oh, they are actually
Speaker 3: like a ton of different ways to do things, and
Speaker 3: if someone does it differently than me, maybe that doesn't
Speaker 3: mean I'm a piece of shit.
Speaker 2: Right. And I didn't create this, Yeah, I sent a link.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just opened this clam. I didn't make this
Speaker 3: clam exactly.
Speaker 2: But I'm just people are sending me everything all the time,
Speaker 2: willy nilly because they don't know what I care about.
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, but then I complain about everything else,
Speaker 2: so I don't know what's wrong with me ultimately, well
Speaker 2: more start here to find out right today we get
Speaker 2: the answers about my personality. Yeah, no, I could do
Speaker 2: a little more curating as far as just telling people,
Speaker 2: oh no, stop sending me this. Maybe I don't have
Speaker 2: to be that harsh.
Speaker 3: It's a no for me dog. Maybe just make it funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but see, I feel like I'll overcorrect and then
Speaker 2: just be rude.
Speaker 3: Well, if they're your real friends, they listen to your
Speaker 3: podcast and now they know so.
Speaker 2: I have zero friends. I wonder if I often wonder
Speaker 2: if any of my real friends listen to my podcast.
Speaker 2: If you're a real friend for each other.
Speaker 3: Out send him an email. I have one of my
Speaker 3: very dear friends with my closest friends, Elizabeth lame Haw's
Speaker 3: a podcast called Nobody's Listening Right, and it's just her
Speaker 3: and her husband Andy talking. And I have a hard
Speaker 3: time listening to it because you know the person if
Speaker 3: I'm friends with her, like, just tell me if you
Speaker 3: want me to know otherwise, Like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Right, I feel like, yeah, I wouldn't blame anyone in
Speaker 2: my immediate life if they well except for.
Speaker 3: My well, whatever, who are we blaming?
Speaker 2: There are a couple of people like you could be
Speaker 2: listening to this, yeah, but my friends are like I
Speaker 2: would never expect them to listen, Like we are in
Speaker 2: constant communication with each other. Yeah, and why wouldn't I
Speaker 2: just tell you? And also it feels almost.
Speaker 3: Nosy, Yeah, my business.
Speaker 2: I could be talking about you. Yeah, I could be
Speaker 2: complaining about you to the rest of the time.
Speaker 3: I am stop sending me your shitty music.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I uh so, I can't. I mentioned too many
Speaker 2: of my actual friends listen to the podcast.
Speaker 3: When my mom my mom will be like I listen
Speaker 3: to your podcast, I'm like, don't that's not for you.
Speaker 2: That feels invasive, right, yes.
Speaker 3: Like she'll comment on my Instagram, Oh that's very sweet.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 3: It's sweet, but it's also like, get out of my business.
Speaker 3: But also, I'm you're making everyone else's costs of thousands
Speaker 3: of people, I'm making it everyone's business.
Speaker 2: Is that something you had to get comfortable with, like
Speaker 2: as a public person, like your family knowing, Like, sure,
Speaker 2: that's something I had to as well. Yeah, Oh, I
Speaker 2: guess they just have access to this. Yeah, you just
Speaker 2: have to be okay with that.
Speaker 3: And isn't that funny? Why do we feel like so prete,
Speaker 3: Like we're like, yeah, any like Tom Dick or Harry Right, fine,
Speaker 3: but like I don't my mom.
Speaker 2: To know God, Mom, yeah she can't know this.
Speaker 3: No, like when you were have you ever smoked?
Speaker 2: I'm like.
Speaker 3: Camp also my child, but if you ever hear?
Speaker 2: Oh my god. The next level, totally next level is
Speaker 2: that how old your kid can?
Speaker 3: I ask thirteen?
Speaker 2: Is this something you have to talk to your kids
Speaker 2: about now? Like don't smoke?
Speaker 3: Eah? Not totally yet for him, but like vaping is
Speaker 3: a big conversation because there's also like billboards everywhere.
Speaker 2: Right of course? Yeah, and what is that conversation with
Speaker 2: a teenager at this point? I feel like my parents
Speaker 2: never really talked to me about that, Like elementary school,
Speaker 2: they kind of just like hammered at home, like don't smoke. Yeah,
Speaker 2: my parents didn't smoke, so I don't know. I never
Speaker 2: felt like a conversation. But do you feel like there's
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure for your kid not to smoke? No? Okay,
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: Feel like kids smoke as much as they do, but
Speaker 3: I guess four kids from his school just got suspended
Speaker 3: for vaping at school.
Speaker 2: So age smoking it's like very.
Speaker 3: Fun, It's vaping though, now, so I think you can
Speaker 3: just kind of like it's not like having.
Speaker 2: A cingarette right right, You just go into the and you.
Speaker 3: Just feel like like people do it inside.
Speaker 2: Like completely completely, but probably do it on airplanes. Probably interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so the kids got in trouble. I wonder how they
Speaker 2: got caught. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Kids are stupid. Sorry, kids, you're listening.
Speaker 2: When was the first time you smoked?
Speaker 3: Fifteen?
Speaker 2: Okay? Was it a peer pressure situation or were you
Speaker 2: the person?
Speaker 3: I think I was probably trying to just be cool.
Speaker 3: As we've established, I have a deep.
Speaker 2: Deep, desperate, clawing, deep.
Speaker 3: Hole inside me that needs to be filled with people
Speaker 3: thinking I'm cool.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, let me speaking of cool, you're trying
Speaker 2: to fit in constantly obviously bringing something to the podcast
Speaker 2: with the skiff, there's still other things.
Speaker 3: There's two more things in there. I just did a
Speaker 3: teenage any grab bag?

Speaker 3: just trying to feel to.
Speaker 2: Can you sing? Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, this is my podcast.
Speaker 2: Now, okay, I'm gonna try this. Now, let's see. This
Speaker 2: might take a while for me to eat caramel? Is
Speaker 2: you know what?
Speaker 3: It's not so bad, It's not the stickiest time, it's
Speaker 3: I got it when I was in Yucca Valley this weekend. Okay,
Speaker 3: at Mojave, at a small local store.
Speaker 2: M eat half of it some case.
Speaker 3: But can you do you like it? Do you like
Speaker 3: a caramel? Isn't it so salty in the best way?
Speaker 2: That's incredible. It's so buttery.
Speaker 3: I got it Mojave Mercantile, I think is what it's
Speaker 3: called in Yucca Valley. But it's a le bon arson
Speaker 3: I think it said on the box.
Speaker 2: Oh that's fantastic. Right where do they make this? Is
Speaker 2: it French?
Speaker 3: It sounds like I don't know. I did no research.
Speaker 3: I pulled it out of a box of many of them. Oh,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I didn't bring enough for everyone. I thought
Speaker 3: about it. I feel bad that I didn't bring enough
Speaker 3: for the class.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I hate that I'm rushing through it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna have to drive to Yuccavelley to get
Speaker 3: some more of those sweet sweet salty.
Speaker 2: It's so salty, it's amazing. Yeah. Yeah, that's what Almost
Speaker 2: every candy I need now is almost not to be
Speaker 2: sweet at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just want it to be salt and barely sweet.
Speaker 3: Like licking a clam.
Speaker 2: If only this was thicker, colder, and slimier, I would
Speaker 2: have loved it.
Speaker 3: But I did give you that same staring at you,
Speaker 3: an expectation while you were eating it.
Speaker 2: Suddenly I'm gagging.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, oh, swallow it, swallow it.
Speaker 2: That's so good. Why were you in Yucca Valley Because.
Speaker 3: My friend is in a band called Hardcouartet all fantastic
Speaker 3: and they're touring right now.
Speaker 2: They're a recent kind of super group.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're incredible. Oh my friend Emma Kelly is in it.
Speaker 3: That's great, amazing and yeah, so I just got to
Speaker 3: go see like my nineties.
Speaker 2: That's so cool. It's Stephen Malchelmus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, who are the is Matt Sweeney right? Jim White's
Speaker 3: the drummer, yes from Dirty Three, and then Emmett Kelly.
Speaker 2: Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, they're so good.
Speaker 2: I imagine this is their first tour or something.
Speaker 3: First tour. Okay, so I saw the very first show.
Speaker 2: I'm sure everyone was thrilled about it.
Speaker 3: It was amazing.
Speaker 2: Oh that's really cool.
Speaker 3: You mean me being there?
Speaker 2: Yes? Of course, who gets a sh about the band? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Everyone was thrill.
Speaker 2: Did you see who's in the audience?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yes, because she wouldn't stop crying.
Speaker 2: Wow. Are you a big music person into that? I am?
Speaker 3: I like to see live music, okay, okay?
Speaker 5: Do you?
Speaker 2: Oh? I love it? I love it and I hate it.
Speaker 2: Concerts are a complicated experience for me, and I complain
Speaker 2: about them often, even shows I really love. I have
Speaker 2: a hard time. And I've said this before, and it's
Speaker 2: often because I'll go to a concert and I'll be
Speaker 2: like I'll be looking around at everyone in the audience
Speaker 2: and be like, oh, I'm like these people. Do you
Speaker 2: know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 2: It's just like to me, a concert feels like I'm
Speaker 2: a mirror that can push you around. You're like you're
Speaker 2: getting knocked back and forth by people who are like you,
Speaker 2: and you're realizing, oh I hate me.
Speaker 3: Sure, I hear you? I do feel like I was
Speaker 3: watching myself being proud of myself, thinking that I wasn't
Speaker 3: worried about people what people were thinking about me.
Speaker 2: During the grace, and you weren't drunk.
Speaker 3: I was. I don't drink.
Speaker 2: Oh amazing. Yeah, so well that's a big moment for
Speaker 2: you just as a person to be like.
Speaker 3: I'm so proud of me for not thinking about myself constantly.
Speaker 3: Right now, I could just enjoy this experience. It's just
Speaker 3: about watching your thoughts, right Yeah. I suppose they come
Speaker 3: in and there fuck bananas.
Speaker 2: They're almost all imagined.
Speaker 3: And to be like, I'm not going to attach to you.
Speaker 2: Just keep going, keep moving, keep keep moving. How often
Speaker 2: are you going to a live show?
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess it depends on, like if it's
Speaker 3: concert season kind of, but I would say at least
Speaker 3: once a month.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's great.
Speaker 3: I saw Shannon and the Clams.
Speaker 2: Oh fantastic band, Clams.
Speaker 3: And Clams, the best kind of Clams.
Speaker 2: She's an amazing singer, what a voice.
Speaker 3: I love her very much. She's a wonderful person.
Speaker 2: Oh good, that's nice.
Speaker 3: She's amazing. Okay, And they were playing at Tippatinas when
Speaker 3: I was in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Oh cool. Yeah, so just by chance you got to
Speaker 2: see them?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just happened to be there at the same time.
Speaker 2: Do you have a like an all time favorite concert?
Speaker 5: Ah?
Speaker 3: Yes, I think Neutral mal Hotel. Oh my god, also
Speaker 3: in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Wow? When was that?
Speaker 3: Maybe like ten years ago?
Speaker 2: Oh, that's really cool. That's a rare thing.
Speaker 3: I feel like I could send you music and you
Speaker 3: could send me music. I feel like seem to be vibing.
Speaker 2: Yes. Absolutely, Wow, that's a really cool show. Was it long?
Speaker 2: Did he play for a while?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they played forever. They sounded perfectly like I also,
Speaker 3: I love an LCD sound system just because they sound
Speaker 3: so much like the album that a dance party, dance part.
Speaker 2: Are you going to see them later this year with Pulp? Yes? Oh,
Speaker 2: I can't wait. Polp is one of my all time,
Speaker 2: all time favorite best amazing And so I haven't bought
Speaker 2: tickets yet. Someone told me to wait at the Hollywood's. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Does it make sense to wait for tickets?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe you can get like last minute tickets,
Speaker 3: maybe because like the bots buy them all up and
Speaker 3: they're then they're at the height of their price and
Speaker 3: then they.
Speaker 2: Go down somebody just told me they've got Beyonce tickets
Speaker 2: for twenty dollars, So maybe I did hear.
Speaker 3: That Beyonce's tickets were not as much interesting.
Speaker 2: What's happening there.
Speaker 3: We're all horrified and afraid of all of our money
Speaker 3: being taken from us by the government.
Speaker 2: There's a Yeah.
Speaker 3: I did go to book a plane ticket and my
Speaker 3: card didn't work like twice, and I was like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, it's happened. They've taken my money and I'm
Speaker 3: only allowed to buy things if my husband says it's okay.
Speaker 3: And then I was like, oh, maybe my credit card's expired.
Speaker 3: That's the other option.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess there is always that worry. But I
Speaker 2: guess I'll just be waiting a couple of months. So
Speaker 2: then if it does, if I can't buy tickets, I'll
Speaker 2: just call me.
Speaker 3: I'll call you and Bee like, please, please, can I
Speaker 3: go with you?
Speaker 2: Give me your other tick.
Speaker 3: There's no other way I can get a ticket.
Speaker 2: You're the only person I know that I've talked to
Speaker 2: about this. No, I'll just blame my friend and just
Speaker 2: ruin his life or something. He goes some more concerts
Speaker 2: than I do. Certainly he knows better than I do.
Speaker 2: Great Neutral Milk Hotail. That was your favorite show?
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you have a favorite show?
Speaker 2: Yes, Eleanor Friedberger I saw. I don't know. Do you
Speaker 2: know the Banfiery Furnaces, Yes, she's half of that band,
Speaker 2: but she's got four amazing solo albums and her Fiery
Speaker 2: Furnaces as a band. Whenever you would see them live,
Speaker 2: they would play their music completely differently than as recorded,
Speaker 2: which is an incredible experience. It's so fun to see
Speaker 2: just like totally new versions of songs you like, and
Speaker 2: then she does kind of slightly similar thing where you
Speaker 2: go in. It was like the like her music's not
Speaker 2: the most the most rocking music you've ever heard on album,
Speaker 2: but live it was like singing a punk show. It
Speaker 2: was unbelievable. It was so cool, and I love her
Speaker 2: so much, but it was an unexpected thing too, so
Speaker 2: I think that's what made it such a wonderful concert.
Speaker 5: I think that.
Speaker 2: Oh and then Pulp seeing them last year was Jarvis
Speaker 2: Cocker is sixty two or so and still performs like
Speaker 2: he's twenty eight or something. It's so fun to see
Speaker 2: that's such a cool, naturally cool person. Those are my
Speaker 2: two favorites, i'd say, oh, that's great. I don't know that.
Speaker 2: I've tried to think if I've ever had a really
Speaker 2: horrible concert experience.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know I have, Yeah, but it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I've been to somewhere like it's too crowded and everyone's
Speaker 3: a little too drunk, and there are people like screaming loudly,
Speaker 3: like what's she playing? Play? What I want you to play?
Speaker 3: Like that kind of situation.
Speaker 2: There's always one really drunk person that can ruin it
Speaker 2: for everybody. There's a band that I love, but when
Speaker 2: a band gets too jammied live, that can be a
Speaker 2: difficult experience. I saw Built a Spill a long time
Speaker 2: ago and there was a little too much jamming.
Speaker 3: Was it at the will Turn?
Speaker 2: No, this was when I was still living.
Speaker 3: In Salt Lake, And I don't know when that was because.
Speaker 2: I don't know twenty years ago, twenty years ago.
Speaker 3: Maybe I feel that way about I love Built a
Speaker 3: Spill too, and I feel that way about Built.
Speaker 2: It sometimes live there's just there's some noodling on the
Speaker 2: guitar where I just feel like, I know people love jamming.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can use some edit, yeah, And I don't
Speaker 3: really speak guitar. So like, sometimes I'm like, like, my
Speaker 3: husband's very musical, and so sometimes I'll be like, I
Speaker 3: bet he's enjoying this in a way that I'm not
Speaker 3: able to enjoy it because I don't understand the mechanics.
Speaker 2: Of it, right, That's how I am. I'm just like, well,
Speaker 2: now this just isn't the.
Speaker 3: Song that I and then we become the junk girl play.
Speaker 2: But I do again. I love Built a Spill. I
Speaker 2: don't want to say anything too terrible.
Speaker 3: Same, don't come at us Built a Spill, jeez, I
Speaker 3: will say.
Speaker 2: A nice experience is to leave a concert early with
Speaker 2: friends and everyone everyone recognizes we're done here, and you
Speaker 2: get to leave, yeah, because you all feel so connected
Speaker 2: to each other. We're like, we don't have to stay
Speaker 2: as far longer than we need to be here.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. I did also get to say this will
Speaker 3: be my last one, and then there's one last thing
Speaker 3: in there. Liz Fair oh exile of course. Last year
Speaker 3: she played the whole.
Speaker 2: Oh that's amazing and it was so fun. Oh that
Speaker 2: sounds great. I love this. I don't know if bands
Speaker 2: love this new trend of having to play their old
Speaker 2: albums all the way through. But it's like, when else
Speaker 2: are you going to get an.
Speaker 3: Opportunity to hear though it was I think thirty years
Speaker 3: oh at least right, and she was so like like
Speaker 3: she just kind of kept being like, I can't believe
Speaker 3: you guys enjoy. So it also was like she was like,
Speaker 3: this is amazing, and we were like, this is amazing.
Speaker 3: It was great. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of bands their first few are their
Speaker 2: best anyway, and so you but it's like I feel
Speaker 2: guilty that I don't want to listen to your newer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or it hates you. It's it's about hitting you
Speaker 3: at a certain time in your life.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's no Soldia tied into it and all
Speaker 2: sorts of things. And then yeah, but I think that's
Speaker 2: a great trend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too. Keep it coming.
Speaker 2: I'm happy with that.
Speaker 3: Keep it coming.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into this final thing here. It feels
Speaker 2: like another.
Speaker 3: Oh it's also orange.
Speaker 2: It's a look out beautifully. I mean, if you're watching
Speaker 2: the video of this on YouTube, you're now saying on
Speaker 2: almost art directed episode where I've got a unicorn, that's
Speaker 2: color of my tst.
Speaker 3: It goes with back here.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to put these on our shelf. Yes,
Speaker 2: these just go permanently on here.
Speaker 3: I was hoping my guys make it back there. I
Speaker 3: didn't know. I don't know you, so I didn't know
Speaker 3: if you were more of a dinosaur person or more
Speaker 3: of a unicorn person.
Speaker 2: I would say, I'm kind of in the middle, you know,
Speaker 2: unicorn dinosaur thing. It's a spectrum. Ultimately, it's a spectrum.
Speaker 2: It's just like anything else in the world. It's a spectrum.
Speaker 2: And I would say, I'm right here in the middle
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 3: You're the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 2: I'm the Eiffel Tower of unicorns and dinosaurs. No, I
Speaker 2: like Growing up, I probably would have read more about
Speaker 2: unicorns fantasy level, but I like dinosaurs and science type stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love Jurassic Park, the original at least so good.
Speaker 2: Still a great movie.
Speaker 3: Just rewatch it. Highly highly recommend it.
Speaker 2: It holds up really well. Yeah. I've only seen a
Speaker 2: couple of the other ones, and I've never been as thrilled.
Speaker 2: Yeah they're fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, are.
Speaker 2: There any other Well, Godzilla is not quite a dinosaur,
Speaker 2: but I saw that Godzilla minus whatever it was, the
Speaker 2: Japanese one last year. Unbelievable, very cool, it's like genuinely scary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, really loved that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really feels like as close as I felt, like, Oh,
Speaker 2: this is what it would feel like if Godzilla existed.
Speaker 2: It would be kind of scary, very scary. This thing
Speaker 2: is an giant creature destroying Japan. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I would just went on a swamp tour also, highly
Speaker 3: first swamp. I was from Mississippi and Louisiana grew up
Speaker 3: going there. Highly recommend Ragin Cajun Swamp to War.
Speaker 2: I love the name. I'm behind it already.
Speaker 3: But yeah, got to meet a thirteen foot long twenty
Speaker 3: six year.
Speaker 2: Olds like it kind of if you stuff right there,
Speaker 2: you just met a thirteen foot long twenty six year old.
Speaker 3: That's it worth it, alligator. But like even just seeing that,
Speaker 3: the massive size of that thing, that is terrifying. Like
Speaker 3: even if just that was running around, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Of course it doesn't even have to be.
Speaker 2: I don't think I could be in a boat near that.
Speaker 2: I would be so scared.
Speaker 3: I was afraid right before I went. And they have
Speaker 3: them crawl up onto the boat.
Speaker 2: Not that ba no no no no oh.
Speaker 3: But the smaller ones. There were sisters named Shanaya and twain.
Speaker 2: It was cute.
Speaker 3: They did a good job.
Speaker 2: Did you get to touch them?
Speaker 3: No? Okay, they're like I mean, they're straight up wild animal, right,
Speaker 3: but they live in this like I think this company
Speaker 3: probably owns this amount of swampland. So they're used to
Speaker 3: the boats okay, okay, And they feed them chicken legs,
Speaker 3: but not so much that they won't eat their natural Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're natural prey humans and unicorns. That's what happened to
Speaker 3: the unicorns.
Speaker 2: Wow. The thing that scares me most about alligators is
Speaker 2: the whipping and thrashing. The jaws are not like, but
Speaker 2: I feel like if you got closer and starts freaking out,
Speaker 2: that scares me. Getting whipped by that table.
Speaker 3: You and take you underwater and row and roll you
Speaker 3: around until you're drowned and like soft and then shove
Speaker 3: you and I'll shove you in a log and come
Speaker 3: back and eat you later.
Speaker 2: Is that true? It puts you away, It puts you.
Speaker 3: Away for later to soften you up. That's what you
Speaker 3: should have done to the clam.
Speaker 2: That's what the sushi chef should have done to the colts.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 2: I'm not responsible for this, holding this for me actually
Speaker 2: put this in a log for a few days.
Speaker 3: Are just in your palm, in your warm palm.
Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't know that's a new fact about alligators.
Speaker 2: I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it's true.
Speaker 2: Well, they have kind of a food storage system that
Speaker 2: they've got going humans all over for later. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: that is kind of like that's not The teeth aren't
Speaker 2: as much danger, right, it's the like strangling you to
Speaker 2: death or.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I think the jaw.
Speaker 2: Big clampers, clampers. Speaking of animals that are used to humans,
Speaker 2: we went to a monkey parkist.
Speaker 3: Kyoto where you go inside the house.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's incredible, incredible.
Speaker 3: Did you love it?
Speaker 2: I adored it. And it didn't feel like it wasn't
Speaker 2: like a I may be wrong and I'll just continue
Speaker 2: to be ignorant about this because it didn't feel like
Speaker 2: a tiger king situation where every animal was in danger.
Speaker 2: I felt like they were taking advantage of us rather
Speaker 2: than us taking advantage of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you go in the little house and buy food
Speaker 3: for them.
Speaker 2: Yes, I was feeding them apples or I could have
Speaker 2: bought peanuts or whatever, and they come and just take
Speaker 2: it from you. And it's wonderful and you see them
Speaker 2: running around. I saw a mother holding a little baby,
Speaker 2: and it's unbelievable experience.
Speaker 3: Did you see well, let's see, I think we went
Speaker 3: around the same time. So you missed the cherry blossoms.
Speaker 2: Missed the cherry blossoms. I'm sure that was incredible.
Speaker 3: Did you go to a don Quixote?
Speaker 2: Is that the grocery store?
Speaker 3: It's like like a Target kind of a place.
Speaker 2: But I kept reading about it. Never saw you.
Speaker 3: Gotta go back for that.
Speaker 2: I honestly would love that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 2: What did you buy anything at the Target of Japan?
Speaker 3: I didn't. But there was like a little boy whose
Speaker 3: buttthole was like sticking out.
Speaker 2: Like a little Oh, I see this is at Target
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Just the air vapor coming out. It was like a
Speaker 3: room humid a fire, but it's just like a little
Speaker 3: it's blasting out of a little boys but hole.
Speaker 2: This was like some sort of entrapment. This was like
Speaker 2: to catch a predatory. Do you buy that thing?
Speaker 3: Japanese authorities just yeah, they come right out and they're like, no,
Speaker 3: my skin is just dry, and yeah.
Speaker 2: We got her fellows. Yeah. Wow, I'm sorry to have
Speaker 2: missed that store though I feel like a big like
Speaker 2: buy all sorts of crazy things. I didn't really get
Speaker 2: to experience that. Yeah, we went to a place called Hands,
Speaker 2: which was kind of a big department store, but didn't
Speaker 2: feel like that kind of thing. Don quixote. Why did
Speaker 2: they call it that?
Speaker 3: No idea?
Speaker 2: Do they sell any windmills?
Speaker 3: That's the big question that I saw mister Pinko pachinko
Speaker 3: on the ground floor.
Speaker 2: Did you play Pachinko?
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 2: Did you know what is pachinko? I think about the
Speaker 2: wheel or the prices, right game pallinko?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Is that maybe plinko plinko, Clinko plinko different things.
Speaker 3: I think that's different.
Speaker 2: Pachinko has nothing to do with a ball rolling down
Speaker 2: a thing, I don't think. So. I want to just
Speaker 2: get my eyes on it.
Speaker 3: Get your eyes on.
Speaker 2: It, because I saw plenty of these casinos. Oh yeah, there's,
Speaker 2: of course the wonderful book called Pachinko, which.
Speaker 3: Is an incredible book now a TV show.
Speaker 2: Now a TV show.
Speaker 3: But the game itself, maybe it is a ball that
Speaker 3: goes down.
Speaker 2: It is it's almost like a pinball machine or something
Speaker 2: that's gambling. Yeah, so I wasn't that far off. It's
Speaker 2: kind of a beautiful game. Look at that.
Speaker 3: Oh that's lovely. Oh I actually used to have one
Speaker 3: of those that I got at the Rose Bowl. Oh
Speaker 3: you're kidding, a vintage.
Speaker 2: You could have opened a casino. I should have this opportunity. Damn.
Speaker 3: I love a casino too.
Speaker 2: Do you really know? I hate because guys going to
Speaker 2: leave the podcast.
Speaker 3: They're the worst.
Speaker 2: I despise a casino.
Speaker 3: When's your birthday?
Speaker 2: October ninth?
Speaker 3: When's yours on Sunday?
Speaker 2: On Sunday?
Speaker 3: Happy birth eleventh? Also Mother's Day? Oh your listeners must it?

Speaker 3: a gift. The ones that you don't want, I'll take them.
Speaker 2: Are you doing anything for your birthday?
Speaker 3: I'm going to go out to Malibu for a couple
Speaker 3: of days.
Speaker 2: Very nice. Yeah that sounds relaxing.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 3: You can't drive up the one.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, actually that now that I'm thinking about recent events.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know, but it feels maybe like
Speaker 3: good to put money back into the and I love
Speaker 3: shout out broad Street oyster. Oh interesting, that's a good
Speaker 3: restaurant recommended.
Speaker 2: Are they serving claims?
Speaker 3: They probably? Yeah, they definitely have fried clams for sure.
Speaker 2: Well count me out. All right, I think we should
Speaker 2: play a game.
Speaker 3: Great, is it pachinko?
Speaker 2: We're playing pachinko? Bring it out?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: No, We're gonna play a game called Gift or a Curse.
Speaker 2: But first I need a number between one and ten
Speaker 2: from you. Eight. Okay. I have to do some light
Speaker 2: calculating to get our game pieces. So right now you
Speaker 2: can recommend, promote, do whatever you want.
Speaker 3: Oh okay. I am currently shooting season two of my
Speaker 3: Netflix series with Ted Danson created by Michael Schuer called
Speaker 3: A Man on the Inside. Please tune into that if
Speaker 3: you have not tuned into it. It's very different from
Speaker 3: the other show that a lot of people know me
Speaker 3: for called It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which is also
Speaker 3: about to premiere season seventeen. I've been doing that show
Speaker 3: for twenty years. And what else am I doing right now?
Speaker 3: Just trying to stop and smell the flowers. Here's a
Speaker 3: shout out for stopping and smelling the flowers.
Speaker 2: You know, beautiful. Everybody go watch those shows. Both great
Speaker 2: shows and don't forget to smell the flowers, and smell
Speaker 2: the flowers for God's sake.
Speaker 3: Come on, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: What else are you doing?
Speaker 3: You too good for flowers?
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm smelling them constantly. Do I have anything
Speaker 2: to recommend outside of anything? I probably do, but I
Speaker 2: can't think of it right now.
Speaker 3: It's hard. Quartet, go see.
Speaker 2: That's a great idea.
Speaker 3: Oh Alabama Shakes? Are you going to see Alabama Shanks?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Where are they playing?
Speaker 3: Shannon and the Clams are going to open for the.
Speaker 2: Hollywood Bull's got it all, got it all? Nothing comes
Speaker 2: to mind for me. No one can blame me. I'm tired.
Speaker 2: But this is how we're going to play Gift a curse.
Speaker 2: I'm going to name three things. You're going to tell
Speaker 2: me if there are a gift or a curse and why?
Speaker 2: Then I'll tell you if you're right or wrong, because
Speaker 2: there are correct answers. You can fail. Hopefully you won't,
Speaker 2: but you might well, so be careful.
Speaker 3: If you fail me, you might be failing. So just saying, okay,
Speaker 3: don't take criticism.
Speaker 2: Well, all right. These are all suggestions from our Patreon
Speaker 2: listeners today because the list has gotten out of control
Speaker 2: over on Patreon, and I've got to make my way
Speaker 2: through it. So let's just get into it. This first
Speaker 2: one is from a listener named Lindsey. Gift or a curse.
Speaker 2: When you're overnight out of town, guest sees your bathtub
Speaker 2: and says, hmm, maybe i'll have a bath while I'm here.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 3: Oh well, there's so many caveats, like, who's the person?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, right, seize my bathtub. No,
Speaker 3: it's in my bathroom. You shouldn't have even come up
Speaker 3: here to look. You're not welcome, So curse.
Speaker 2: Wrong. That's a gift. That's like, I love this person.
Speaker 2: They're storming around the house making declarations about what they're
Speaker 2: going to do with your home, and they're making themselves
Speaker 2: just comfortable. Comfortable.
Speaker 3: You love it.
Speaker 2: They're saying, Bridger, I love your bath I'm gonna take it.
Speaker 2: They're taking control of my They're essentially hijacking.
Speaker 3: My life, and you like to have your life hijacked.
Speaker 2: I like a visitor who says what they're gonna do. Oh,
Speaker 2: I love if I find a visitor in my bathtub,
Speaker 2: good for them. You know, I invited them into my
Speaker 2: home and they're doing it up. Okay, there's no wishy washy,
Speaker 2: there's no maybe I'll take a bath. Well, actually they
Speaker 2: still say maybe I'll have a bath. But you know,
Speaker 2: they're living their dream, okay, and I'm happy for them.
Speaker 3: You're a better person than I am. Maybe they say
Speaker 3: maybe I'll have a bath, and I say, I don't
Speaker 3: think so, motherfucker.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll wear your clothes while I am.
Speaker 3: Why don't you just sleep with my husband? Geez, get
Speaker 3: out of my bathroom.
Speaker 2: Good for them, Good for them. I'm on the all right.
Speaker 3: We have different takes, h I have the correct one.
Speaker 3: You have the I got in correct one.
Speaker 2: You got on that one. Okay. Second one is from
Speaker 2: a listener named Chris Gift or a curse Outdoor cats.
Speaker 3: Outdoor cats, I mean, uh, there's some drama happening with
Speaker 3: this on my Instagram page because we found our cat. Okay,
Speaker 3: he was a one year old stray, found him in
Speaker 3: our backyard, took him in, and he's an indoor outdoor
Speaker 3: cat Gift because he poops outside.
Speaker 2: Oh dream come true.
Speaker 3: Barely ever have to see this cat's poop, but pulls
Speaker 3: in lizards. Day before Easter, pulled in a bunny. Bunny's okay,
Speaker 3: Bunny's okay. People will argue that the bunny's not okay
Speaker 3: because my cat's mouth touched it, to which I say,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Should I shoot my cat now? Is that
Speaker 3: what you would like me to do? That's where I go.
Speaker 2: Why was the bunny outdoors? Right, that's the bigger question.
Speaker 3: It was a It was a wild rabbit.
Speaker 2: I didn't know La had wild rabbit.
Speaker 3: I it does. I had a full on conversation with
Speaker 3: a coyote this morning, just walking down the street.
Speaker 2: It was pushing its kid in a stroller.
Speaker 3: It was looking for that bunny. Probably, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I've been robbed of an LA
Speaker 2: experience not seeing a rabbit.
Speaker 3: I also was like, I have never seen I don't
Speaker 3: think I've seen a wild rabbit.
Speaker 2: What did it look like? Did it look like a
Speaker 2: desert hair? Yeah? Wow, I know.
Speaker 3: I'll show you a photo.
Speaker 2: I've got to see this. That's fascinating.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I need to get my eyes on an outdoor rabbit
Speaker 2: now in La.
Speaker 3: Hang out in my bathtub. Maybe my cat will bring
Speaker 3: one to you.
Speaker 2: So I say, gift, correct, absolutely a gift. I mean
Speaker 2: I think there are outdoor cats. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: It's a complicated issue for a lot of people, but
Speaker 2: ultimately what it comes down to is I love cats. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I love cats taking care of local pests. You know,
Speaker 2: this is this podcast is not really on the side
Speaker 2: of rats or mice, and so the idea of cats
Speaker 2: being around to protect me at all.
Speaker 3: For it, some Godzilla rat comes crashing into your house.
Speaker 2: I was at a restaurant recently where there are rats
Speaker 2: running in the trees. That wasn't a good experience. So
Speaker 2: that restaurant, if they had outdoor cats, they wouldn't be
Speaker 2: a problem. I never have a problem when I see
Speaker 2: a cat outside. Yeah, you know, I think, oh, that's wonderful.
Speaker 2: I mean, hopefully it's being well fed and yeah, care
Speaker 2: of baba.
Speaker 3: Your cats do all that. But like, look, especially in
Speaker 3: a place like LA, there's going to be outside cats.
Speaker 2: Yes, and hopefully they're being taken care of. But I
Speaker 2: don't have at least a spiritual problem with them. I
Speaker 2: love to see them, agreed, there are protectors.
Speaker 3: Like what is the name of the movie with the
Speaker 3: cat and there's no words in it? And I think
Speaker 3: at one and us.
Speaker 2: Go, oh, what was that called?
Speaker 3: It's like, yes, reflection, what feel free to step in?
Speaker 2: Ripple water water cat? What is that? I saw half
Speaker 2: of it was really beautiful.
Speaker 3: I watched the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Flow flow, flow, flow flow. It's so pretty. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: it has no words in it whatsoever. Really, but that
Speaker 2: cat's an outdoor cat.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So if you have a problem with that cat,
Speaker 3: you've got problem with Oscar winning films.
Speaker 2: You have no taste? Yeah, all right, so you've gotten
Speaker 2: one right so far. And this final one is from
Speaker 2: a listener named Hannah Gift or a curse eating bacon
Speaker 2: with a fork so your fingers don't get greasy.
Speaker 3: All right. Well, we've established that I have not eaten
Speaker 3: meat in a really long time for you, so I
Speaker 3: would say eating bacon is a no because I like
Speaker 3: cats and I like pigs. Live pigs, as I think,
Speaker 3: get your fingers dirty. What are you scared of the
Speaker 3: hepe outbreak that's happening in Los Angeles right now?
Speaker 2: Is that true?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I know?
Speaker 3: Are we all getting vaccinated? At the end of this podcast?
Speaker 2: Is someone out hepatitis vaccines?
Speaker 3: There's so many hepatitises you don't know.
Speaker 2: There are at least three. I can at least three
Speaker 2: A B and C, A B and C, and I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if they've got a D on the way.
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's coming. So I say, I say no
Speaker 3: to the fork, just you know, jump in, go for it,
Speaker 3: go for it.
Speaker 2: Correct, that's a curse. I think that bacon, whether it's
Speaker 2: any you know, regular turkey, veggie, I guess there's beef,
Speaker 2: bacon whatever. I think part of the experience is a
Speaker 2: lot of There are certain foods you have to eat
Speaker 2: it with your hand or it doesn't taste right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like eating a muffin with a fork. I just
Speaker 2: feel like you need to. Or a donut you like,
Speaker 2: if you don't, if your hand doesn't bring it to
Speaker 2: your mouth for whatever reason.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the point bene powdered sugar to blast off?
Speaker 2: Yes, and you don't you if you cut it with
Speaker 2: your knife and fork. The texture goes wrong with a donut,
Speaker 2: like flattens out of it, right, So get a life,
Speaker 2: you know, just pick it up.
Speaker 3: Get over yourself.
Speaker 2: Your fingers are why do you care if they're greasy
Speaker 2: during breakfast?
Speaker 3: What else are they for?
Speaker 2: What's your napkin for? What are your pants for?
Speaker 3: What's your mouth for?
Speaker 2: What is everything around you for? Just wipe it?
Speaker 3: Else, wipe it? Are your friend?
Speaker 2: What are you? What's your hair for?
Speaker 3: What's your hair? Run your hands, your fingers looks great?
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. It's making grease.
Speaker 2: Got two out of three. Not bad, Okay, I'll take
Speaker 2: it very nice and on at least. Do you have
Speaker 2: your gift or a curse? Yeah?
Speaker 4: But I got to roll back a few minutes to
Speaker 4: something that's been bothering.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love it long simmer and cat.
Speaker 4: No, it's no.
Speaker 5: A little farther back than that, I'm sorry to say
Speaker 5: a few weeks ago where you're you know, you were
Speaker 5: spanking and eating an uncooked block of Velveta cheese on
Speaker 5: this podcast, and yet eating a caramel on MIC is
Speaker 5: now too much?
Speaker 2: Really, That's where this is what I'll say. Caramel cheese,
Speaker 2: I knew I was going to only have a small
Speaker 2: bit and swallow it, swallow it as quickly as possible,
Speaker 2: because I thought this isn't going to taste good, Whereas
Speaker 2: with this caramel, I knew it would taste good. And
Speaker 2: caramel is a chewy thing that can the mouth noise
Speaker 2: can get disgusting and I'm always trying to just think
Speaker 2: on every level as far as mouth noise goes for
Speaker 2: this podcast and so on. Alice, you're wrong, and the
Speaker 2: fact that you brought this up this late is humiliating
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 3: He also hadn't punished this food in any way before
Speaker 3: putting in this mouth spanking, which is a critical step.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, fair enough, fair enough, I'll accept that fired.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, now that you've fallen on your face, would
Speaker 2: you like to bring up your gifter because jan Lis
Speaker 2: is going to do one, and we're both going to
Speaker 2: speak to it, and then they're going to tell us
Speaker 2: who's correct.
Speaker 4: Great, all right, gift or a curse? Refrigerated water.
Speaker 2: If you want to go.
Speaker 3: I have a strong Oh okay, I'm very curious. Curse?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Who wants a mouthful of cold, cold coldness, Not in
Speaker 3: a clam, not in a water, not in ice, don't
Speaker 3: you ice? It doesn't absorb. It needs to be room
Speaker 3: temperature to absorb properly and more quickly into your body.
Speaker 3: That's how I feel.
Speaker 2: I think it's a gift, an absolute gift, for a
Speaker 2: lot of reasons. First of all, I feel like this
Speaker 2: started very young for me in piano lessons when I
Speaker 2: knew when I my teacher, Missus Siegler, had a thing
Speaker 2: of refrigerated water in her fridge, and I knew that
Speaker 2: if I didn't want to play the piano, I could
Speaker 2: simply ask for a drink of water and it would
Speaker 2: take a long time to get and it would take
Speaker 2: up at least five minutes of my piano lesson. So
Speaker 2: that's where my love of this began, and it's just
Speaker 2: been a lifelong love affair for me with refrigerated water.
Speaker 2: I think it tastes great. It's so refreshing, and I
Speaker 2: don't need to use the ice cubes. I have no
Speaker 2: problem with it whatsoever. I don't care if it absorbs
Speaker 2: or not. They can just run out of my mouth
Speaker 2: for all I care. Wow, it's hitting the cold.
Speaker 3: Cold like a cold water fall straight from from the lips.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what else I love is brushing
Speaker 2: my teeth and then having a glass of cold water.
Speaker 2: It feels so cold, so cold.
Speaker 3: I don't care for the cold.
Speaker 2: You're not a cold your mind temperature.
Speaker 3: My son loves the like held shoe ice.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, which is a sign sometimes of like an
Speaker 2: iron deficiency. I think interesting look into it.
Speaker 3: I mean he loves like a popsicle, though he frosion
Speaker 3: bananas that are covered in chocolate into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah that I can't.
Speaker 3: You can't.
Speaker 2: I can chew an ice, a small ice, pebble ice.
Speaker 2: That's the only one I can really, So I guess
Speaker 2: I'm a fraud, but I love a refrigerated water. It's
Speaker 2: a gift.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: So I was worried about our relationship for a second there, Bridge.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm always a little worried about as am I.
Speaker 4: But I think we turned it around because I agree
Speaker 4: with you. It's a gift.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 4: It's a gift.
Speaker 5: There's nothing more crisp and refreshing. And also, as I
Speaker 5: have to say, as a single person, I can't go
Speaker 5: through that Brita on my counter that fast if it's
Speaker 5: room tamp oh, I don't drink that much water. So
Speaker 5: then I'm going to be drinking like, you know, bacteria
Speaker 5: filled water. If it just sits there on the counter
Speaker 5: for too long. It needs to be fresh out of
Speaker 5: the fridge. It lasts longer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go on a walk, come.
Speaker 4: Home, nice big glass of cold water. Ah, nothing better
Speaker 4: we go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, room temperature water might as well be pond water.
Speaker 3: I love a pond water. Delicious pond water.
Speaker 2: Well, you got a lot of things wrong.
Speaker 3: I sure did. This is why you guys do this podcast.
Speaker 3: And I'm just a guest and if you need me,
Speaker 3: I'll be in your bathtub.
Speaker 2: Okay, we need to answer a couple one or two
Speaker 2: listener questions from the Patreon which you helped me answer. Yes, okay.
Speaker 2: This first one is more of a listener named Sarah
Speaker 2: sent me a screenshot of breaking news and I guess
Speaker 2: we just need to speak to this and it says
Speaker 2: it's from the Wall Street Journal. It says Cole's fired
Speaker 2: at CEO for funneling business to a romantic partner. What
Speaker 2: do we think of this?
Speaker 3: Oh wow, there is a lot to unpack there. It
Speaker 3: feels like, really, we're gonna take someone to tell we're
Speaker 3: going to take the Cole CEO to task. Look at
Speaker 3: our president. Look what our president's doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing all sorts of shit and he gets
Speaker 2: to do it.
Speaker 3: How come Cole's is getting in trouble.
Speaker 2: This guy was running Coles. Let him do whatever he wants.
Speaker 3: Just let him give is his romantic partner whatever he wants.
Speaker 2: He was he was trying to make Coles a little sexier. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it's already a very sexy department.
Speaker 3: Store, so sexy, not as sexy as a don Quixote.
Speaker 2: But you know, for America, when people think romance, they
Speaker 2: think Coles. And how is this guy able to resist
Speaker 2: bringing his romantic partner in and giving them some money
Speaker 2: and taking them on all sorts of trips?
Speaker 3: Is that what they were funneling? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, they could be anything, could be anything, chocolates, caramels, Cruis.
Speaker 3: Shoes, shoes isles.
Speaker 2: For yeah, probably discount. He was giving them discount shoes
Speaker 2: and purses.
Speaker 3: Oh that's kind.
Speaker 2: I think there's all he should not. Well, actually, first
Speaker 2: of all, we're assuming he which from I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: assuming which was sexist.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's the person in charge. Obviously it's a man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, of course. So if this was a guy,
Speaker 2: he was the boss.
Speaker 3: Bosses are men, yes, agreed, blessing.
Speaker 2: But whoever it was, I'm happy for them and they
Speaker 2: found love and found a way to embezzle money and
Speaker 2: a new way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just discount purses full of cash.
Speaker 2: I'm from the till Yeah, just the CEO at the
Speaker 2: cash register. I'm happy for him. He should more her.
Speaker 3: Or whoever are all, whoever's involved.
Speaker 2: Whoever's involved should not be in trouble. Yeah, this is
Speaker 2: what I'm having to say. Whoever fired them should be fired. Yes,
Speaker 2: and the romantic partner and the CEO should be reinstated
Speaker 2: as soon as possible.
Speaker 3: Yes, and sent on a romantic vacation to Japan.
Speaker 2: So we've spoken to that. Fantastic. And here's one short question.
Speaker 2: It says, if you were dating a man with an
Speaker 2: ex wife and the co parent a six year old son,
Speaker 2: would you be okay with the ex wife calling him
Speaker 2: to help with stuff like handyman things around the house
Speaker 2: and to help her when she is locked out of
Speaker 2: the house. Much leven love. And that's from Megan. What
Speaker 2: do we think about this?
Speaker 3: Oh, Meghan? Meghan? Meghan?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Do we think that Megan is the person question here?
Speaker 3: Megan, this is what you know. We've been talking a
Speaker 3: lot about cold wet clams. Megan. You're coming in with
Speaker 3: some some actual UH therapy work here.
Speaker 2: And I think one thing that would be nice to
Speaker 2: know is the man the CEO of Coles.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that that that's always the most important.
Speaker 3: First question, if he's the CEO of Coles. We've kind
Speaker 3: of he's exonerated.
Speaker 2: He could do whatever he wish, and it's oaken his
Speaker 2: ex wife because uh, you know, they have romance, they
Speaker 2: have coals, they have so many things tying.
Speaker 3: To do, things that we like. Right, Let's see. I
Speaker 3: mean I think, yes, if the conversation has been had
Speaker 3: about it and you feel okay about it, and if
Speaker 3: you don't feel okay about it, bring up how you feel.
Speaker 3: We've established that you have to you have to cultivate
Speaker 3: your own experience here, right, you like the song? Do
Speaker 3: you not like this song?
Speaker 2: Right? And you know there's a chance that their boundaries
Speaker 2: being stepped over here or not. We've got to clarify
Speaker 2: that they have a son together. Yeah, if she's calling
Speaker 2: him to sleep with her, it's a different Maybe that's
Speaker 2: a and maybe even that's okay, Okay, we don't know.
Speaker 2: You don't know. You Megan has to decide.
Speaker 3: Megan knows what's and we don't.
Speaker 2: Even know if it's me Megan's that's maybe it's the
Speaker 2: next or neighbor. Maybe it's Megan's fringe.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's the ex husband who wrote in as Megan
Speaker 3: to try to shove Meghan's nose in it.
Speaker 2: He says, See, Meghan's husband signed up for the Patreon
Speaker 2: in order.
Speaker 3: To to get your opinion on whether it's okay for
Speaker 3: him to be a handyman for his X way.
Speaker 2: Which would I would say is the most appropriate route
Speaker 2: to take care of this problem?
Speaker 3: Agreed, do not sleep?
Speaker 2: Yes, concise you will get the best possible answer and
Speaker 2: everything will be resolved via Patreon, via podcast, via fake name,
Speaker 2: acting as the you are someone's wife, yes, or your
Speaker 2: own wife. I think that that's healthy, fair and honest.
Speaker 2: And maybe he should be this he maybe he is
Speaker 2: the CEO.
Speaker 3: Cool to see you.
Speaker 2: That's how you become seen. You know, it's a man.
Speaker 3: That's all we know.
Speaker 2: Ultimately, the only thing that ever matters is that it's
Speaker 2: a man.
Speaker 3: Be a man. Be a man, Megan, Be a man, Megan,
Speaker 3: and then you can do whatever you want.
Speaker 2: Well, we answered both of those questions more than perfect,
Speaker 2: really well, we answered We solved problems. I would say, yes,
Speaker 2: and this is all with me being sleep deprived and me.
Speaker 3: Being a failure and a total total failure on every level.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is you've overcome a lot of things today.
Speaker 3: Or just realized how much I haven't over how much
Speaker 3: more I have to overcome.
Speaker 2: But we're rooting for you.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: That's all that matters. In the end.
Speaker 3: I'll become a man soon enough. Please, one can only dream.
Speaker 2: Please, if you ever want that CEO position, which I do?
Speaker 2: You do you want to be running.
Speaker 3: Coles to tell from all the choices I've made in
Speaker 3: my life.
Speaker 2: Dream job running coals, That's kind of my dream job,
Speaker 2: to be honest, Well, I have all I have most
Speaker 2: of my gifts. I've eaten one. I have a gift
Speaker 2: card that I may never use. I'll have to be
Speaker 2: in the neighborhood. I'll have to be in the right
Speaker 2: state of mind to say I deserve to use a
Speaker 2: gift card today, that I have this little card to
Speaker 2: tell me I have the courage.
Speaker 3: To use that gift card.
Speaker 2: And then we have the unicorn and the dinosaur, which
Speaker 2: have already become part of the show's set, which is amazing.
