00:00:08 Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself perfectly clear. But you're a guest to my home. You gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests, your presences presence enough. I already had too much stuff. 00:00:35 Speaker 2: So how do you dare to surbey me? Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm prettuer winnegar or you know, exploring my life or getting into the details. You know, there's a parade of things I go through daily that I'm just trying to share these different exciting things with you. Ah. I did come to the studio today and it was entirely empty. It started to feel like, why am I not getting the level of attention I need? Is really what I was thinking. So whatever I ate my cheese, it's starting to feel a little weird. I spit part of it in the garbage can. And what else? I've got my drink here. Two nights ago, I got overcharged for a sandwich at a diner. Didn't speak up for myself. There's no turning back. I don't know. I don't know. That's what's going on. My lawn has been torn out of the backyard. That's a big deal. It's a dirt patch and the dog refuses to use it as a bathroom. Let's get into the podcast. I love today's guest. I really love her. It's Kylie Brakeman, Kylie welcomed. 00:01:52 Speaker 3: I say hi, Hi, Hello. There was something really meditative about all the things you just listened, where I'm like, wow, this, this could have happened to me. This feels like, yeah, I do eat a beat, a bit of cheese, and then sometimes it doesn't feel right, you have to spit it out. I am certainly never speaking up in a service establishment, after all my years serving in restaurants. I of course I wouldn't dare say a word. 00:02:20 Speaker 2: Right, And I was with a friend and I was like, well, maybe that whatever the sandwich that she ordered seemed comparable to my sandwich. But I was like, well maybe hers was like ninety dollars. And I can't say anything to her about the price of her sand. 00:02:32 Speaker 3: You simply can't say anything. But sometimes I mean, these places, you add one extra thing and they're like, well, a side of pershudo is simply twelve dollars, so we're going to add that on. 00:02:42 Speaker 2: I don't know what it was, the lobster tail, the order I ordered a Ruben and a diet coke, and look, rubens can get expensive. They can, of course, they're strangely expensive. 00:02:53 Speaker 3: I'm getting acclimated to the median sandwich price becoming twenty five dollars. I'm not excited when it's happening, but I'm acclimated my body temperature. 00:03:09 Speaker 2: It doesn't I don't think I ever will. And it feels like the price is you know, every four years it would go up a little bit. Now it's probably every month, and like, oh, well, it's a new prices double it. 00:03:19 Speaker 3: We're just coming up with new numbers all the time. 00:03:22 Speaker 2: The menus can't keep up. 00:03:23 Speaker 3: No, no, you got to keep printing. 00:03:25 Speaker 2: Um. 00:03:25 Speaker 3: That's why they're switching a QR code so they can switch. There's a new conspiracy to. 00:03:31 Speaker 2: Keep us away from what the prices actually are. 00:03:33 Speaker 3: Yes, to keep to make us slide into that dynamic pricing age much. 00:03:41 Speaker 2: Yes, I forgot about dynamic pricing. Wendy's was trying to do dynamic price. 00:03:45 Speaker 3: I feel like every six months they're like, dynamic pricing is about to happen. You're about to go to the store and you're going to make eye contact with the fruit and it's going to tell you it's fourteen dollars. It hasn't happened yet. 00:03:58 Speaker 2: But I'm ready everything Like the gas station. Yeah, they're going to have those big things where they have to take the numbers down on the sign daily. 00:04:06 Speaker 3: Sliding them in, sliding them out. 00:04:08 Speaker 2: That actually doesn't that's not the worst idea for every business to essentially have a gas station sign where they have to have the employee go take the numbers down every day and let us know what the prices are now for things. 00:04:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, it at least creates a barrier of entry to changing the price, to get somebody physically out there to fiddle with the numbers. 00:04:26 Speaker 2: I was just reading about there's a gas station in downtown LA that is charging like eight fifty a gallon for gas, and they're kind of loving it. They're kind of they're like, this is us, this. 00:04:36 Speaker 3: Is our moment in the sun, and what with things being the way they are now, we have now we can go crazy. 00:04:43 Speaker 2: I think that they're kind of doing it almost to be like a news item, because you know, like places outside of LA will be like, prices of gas in La are eight dollars a gallon, and so they sing they look at this one gas station. These people are loving the spotlight. 00:04:57 Speaker 3: They are gonna go absolutely gang bus on ant ant Facebook. 00:05:04 Speaker 2: It's a Facebook bait. 00:05:06 Speaker 3: It is like, did you see the prices in LA are eight dollars? You have to be careful over there. 00:05:15 Speaker 2: I was thinking, well, I don't have a Guess car anymore, but I thought, wouldn't that be a fun novelty to go get a gallon of gas for eight dollars? That'd be an interesting, little kind of fun. 00:05:22 Speaker 3: It's like paying for a water bottle at Disney Lake exactly. It's like, oh, well, this is. 00:05:26 Speaker 2: Just a fun tree that felt bad. 00:05:30 Speaker 3: That felt bad in a novel way. 00:05:32 Speaker 2: Maybe I could go down and just kind of spray a gallon across the parking lot or some It's my eight dollars. I can do what I want. 00:05:40 Speaker 3: Anyway you want, right. I've never held one of those gas cans in my hand before. That would be a novelty. 00:05:48 Speaker 2: That's interesting. When you have one of those in your hands, something's usually gone pretty wrong. 00:05:52 Speaker 3: That's true. 00:05:53 Speaker 2: It's like I've just hiked back from the highway where the car broke down. 00:05:57 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not taking it as a souvenir A fun little. 00:06:01 Speaker 2: No, but I guess you could just get does gas expire? Leave some of the. 00:06:08 Speaker 3: Put some in the yard for later, a little. 00:06:11 Speaker 2: For later or something. No, I haven't. I truly haven't pumped gas in such a long time. I wonder if I would be able to do it at this point. I think I would be panicking. 00:06:19 Speaker 3: What would you do when you got to the pump? 00:06:21 Speaker 2: Do you think you I think I would be able to handle it? 00:06:23 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, off gas? 00:06:27 Speaker 2: I think forty five years. Okay, five years. I've been caring about what's going on, and nobody else does, right, right, I've been doing my part. 00:06:37 Speaker 3: I don't enjoy caring, and that's the reason why I'm hooked on the stuff. That gasoline you're absolutely smell. I do have a hybrid, ok, I care a little bit. I care a little bit. 00:06:53 Speaker 2: And you've got the You don't have what aunt Facebook refers to as range anxiety, which is how far your electric car can go? Yes, yeah, big thing that I've never experienced. But people tell me I should feel Oh, they should be worried about how far my car can go. 00:07:09 Speaker 3: You should be constantly budgeting how far your car is going? 00:07:12 Speaker 2: Right. 00:07:13 Speaker 3: I do think my parents have range anxiety. They have an electric car, and they are I do hear them talking about, Okay, well this many miles and how are we going to get there? And does this even make any sense? Should we even go? 00:07:26 Speaker 2: Oh? No, So it sounds like they just don't want to go. This feels like a nice excuse. 00:07:31 Speaker 3: Maybe it's a good excuse. 00:07:32 Speaker 2: Right, And I'm just careless and we'll probably end up in a dangerous situation where I didn't budget the miles, and then all of the range anxiety freaks will be laughing. 00:07:41 Speaker 3: At their day in the sun will come. I'm sure you were. 00:07:46 Speaker 2: In New York recently. What were you doing? 00:07:48 Speaker 3: I was in New York. I went to watch my friend Jeremy on Saturday Night Live the progressl NL as it's vernacularly, No, just. 00:08:00 Speaker 2: Go with it, and you should have stopped. 00:08:03 Speaker 3: Now people know now they know you don't know what you're talking about. No, I got to go CSNL and then we got to walk around. It's so cold there. The first person to say this, it's rather cold, it's rather cold there. And then to come back here it we're in the middle of a heat wave in ninety five degrees ninety five degrees. That's why I'm doing something I've never done before in my life. I'm podcasting an address. 00:08:31 Speaker 2: This is your first time. 00:08:32 Speaker 3: This is my first time podcasting an address. Because all I could think about was the heat. But normally I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, let's show respect to the podcasting form. We have to wear pants. But I thought it's just so hot outside, I might as. 00:08:46 Speaker 2: Well I podcasted in an address before. Well, a tunic. 00:08:51 Speaker 3: You've podcasted in a tunic multiple times? 00:08:53 Speaker 2: Wow, legs bear? 00:08:55 Speaker 3: And did you feel any hesitation about the cameras and you and the knees? This is the that I'm feeling. 00:09:03 Speaker 2: The entire time. That didn't. That took up probably twenty percent of my brain powered slow key worrying and wondering what are people seeing regarding my legs? Yeah? 00:09:15 Speaker 3: And if I just keep if I'm yeah, I'm putting a lot of mental stock in how I'm crossing them and what which parts of the knees I. 00:09:24 Speaker 2: Could say, embrace the thrill, Yeah. 00:09:26 Speaker 3: It's it's it is the thrilling. I was driving over going you know what, I think this is gonna be thrilling. 00:09:33 Speaker 2: Actually, what else did you do while you were in New York. 00:09:38 Speaker 3: Okay, we got there. We saw the show Putnam County Spelling. 00:09:41 Speaker 2: Be Oh how was that? 00:09:43 Speaker 3: It was great? It was very funny. And then it was guest starring Kevin McHale from Glee, who was great as the If you're familiar with the show, the guy with the Magic foot. 00:09:55 Speaker 2: Okay, this is getting actually more confusing. 00:10:01 Speaker 3: Okay, then I won't to explain any further. 00:10:03 Speaker 2: The magic foot is someone in Glee or the Spelling Bee? 00:10:07 Speaker 3: Oh okay, yes, so valid question. So this is a stock character in Putnam County Spelling Bee, the stereotype with Glee, it does not have that as. 00:10:20 Speaker 2: Far as if they don't have anyone with a magic foot act. 00:10:22 Speaker 3: As far it's been a minute since I rewatched it. 00:10:25 Speaker 2: For a long time. 00:10:26 Speaker 3: It aired for a long time, and to tell you the truth, I stopped watching after they went to New York. Okay, so I don't know what happened after that. It's very possible that somebody had a magic foot. 00:10:35 Speaker 2: They went to New York. 00:10:36 Speaker 3: They went to New York because they were and I will say this was brave. This is something brave that Glee was doing that I'm remembering is that they aged the characters exactly year. 00:10:47 Speaker 2: To year real time. 00:10:49 Speaker 3: Yeah. So if I recall, the first season, there were people in their junior year, and the second season they would go to their senior year, and then in the third season they would graduate, which is why they went to New York City. 00:11:00 Speaker 2: And we went why we saw them all die eventually, and that's why I ultimately we watched them ah to the grave over. Okay, so they went to New York, then you, but you also went to New York. 00:11:15 Speaker 3: I went to New York as well. I saw you know who else was in New York Me? I went to Puttnham County Spelling B. It was a great show. It was very fun, and I didn't realize it started as a character show, like like it started as a sketch comedy show. 00:11:32 Speaker 2: As so oh so like multiple people doing spelling be people. 00:11:36 Speaker 3: Yeah, And that was the original. It was sort of a a UCB adjacent type adventure. And then it someone someone Broadway saw it. The Broadway people listening are they're so, I'm sure you'll get some fact checks. But there was a Broadway man interested in putting songs to this, and and I and here we are today. 00:11:56 Speaker 2: Wow, and you went with our friends Patrick. 00:12:00 Speaker 3: Angela, Yes yes, and parens of the pod. 00:12:02 Speaker 2: Patrick McDonald's a very big musical. 00:12:05 Speaker 3: Oh yes, yes, and there I very much just defaulted to them for any sure theater right, Like I felt really nervous to send links in the group chat to potential shows. 00:12:19 Speaker 2: Oh my god, you could really fall on your face. 00:12:22 Speaker 3: I could egg on my face indeed, because it was just so like, it's so it's so high pressure to send it to a musical theater person. 00:12:31 Speaker 2: There's no chance. Yeah, I wouldn't even dare. 00:12:33 Speaker 3: I wouldn't dare. I wouldn't dare, And so I stayed quiet. 00:12:38 Speaker 2: And they that can also read as like you're not interested at all. 00:12:43 Speaker 3: I know that's the thing. And in my head I was like, should I send a link to Death Becomes Her? Or is that gonna be so beginner? Is that? Like? Is that? What is that? 00:12:55 Speaker 2: What is it? 00:12:56 Speaker 3: What kind of Because I believe it's a very good show show, but I don't know what it indicates to any I don't know. I just don't know the stereotypes of the musical theater community. I don't know what the hot takes are. I don't know what the news is. I don't know what's going on so on Broadway World. I'm not on Broadway World, but I do encounter I don't know if you're on this algorithm or if you're on a TikTok algorithm, but if we. 00:13:22 Speaker 2: Can get into mine in a moment, but let's let's hear about yours, okay. 00:13:25 Speaker 3: Well I am. I do every once in a while get Broadway drama people, okay. And they're always like sort of ordinary looking people like who I don't think are in the industry. I think they're like adjacent and their love it and they're fans, sure, and they're always walking down the street in New York in a rush and they're like, I just heard this musical is closing, and. 00:13:47 Speaker 2: Are they on their way? But I don't follow me into a closing musical. 00:13:54 Speaker 3: They really give off the energy of they have just come from somewhere important, they are on their way to somewhere important. I have just left a closed musical on my way into a new show. And they say it with it, and they're they're delivering it with such urgency it feels like a bulletin has just been handed me. 00:14:14 Speaker 2: Like that's how you get viewers. 00:14:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so I'm not really familiar with the shows that they're talking about. I haven't seen any clips. I don't know them, but I'm just captivated by the urgency of. 00:14:25 Speaker 2: It, right, that whole world. My boyfriend's in the Broadway world a lot of the time, and he's educated me in some about certain things. One thing I learned about is have you heard it? If you want to watch a Broadway bootleg, somebody filmed it. Do you know what they call it? A slime tutorial? Yes? 00:14:41 Speaker 3: I just heard this is it? 00:14:43 Speaker 2: Which is so odd to me because it seems slime tutorial Obviously they've been around for a while now, but they still seem so recent that it's weird. That's the keyword for recording Broadway musicals on a camera, yeah, before right, that's at least since the ninety right. 00:15:00 Speaker 3: And slime tutorials I thought were like kind of pandemic, like very. 00:15:04 Speaker 2: Recently, right within the last ten fifteen years. I would say, Yeah, So, how did those two worlds. 00:15:10 Speaker 3: Collib How did they get together? 00:15:12 Speaker 2: What little freak decided? 00:15:14 Speaker 3: One little freak decided, I'm going to combine my two interests today and I'm going to start a movement. 00:15:22 Speaker 2: It's very odd. There's a I mean, there's a whole like kind of dark web of getting bootlegs for Broadbery musicals. It's a very serious thing. But these people are very serious, and they're rushing to closing shows. 00:15:33 Speaker 3: I'm sure. And is it accepted within the Broadway fan community to be looking at slime tutorials or is it sort of frowned upon. 00:15:42 Speaker 2: I think that there's it's a fine line that people walk. I think that, well, it's probably bad for Broadway in some way, but I think if you care enough that you're looking those up, you're probably also wanting to see it live. 00:15:54 Speaker 3: Sort of the like zoo predicament, where like the love that there are zoos, they don't make me feel amazing, But also I guess you need to see an animal to inspire the seed of interest that will then lead you to bede biologist or something. 00:16:11 Speaker 2: See when you said zoo predicament, what I was thinking was, well, the zoos. We cannot believe, my friend, there are the zoos. Worried about pictures and videos of animals online. 00:16:23 Speaker 3: We can't leak this super footage. 00:16:25 Speaker 2: You've got to get people to the actual zo We. 00:16:27 Speaker 3: Have to pay, well, we have to pay all these. 00:16:29 Speaker 2: Lions slime tutorial wolf got to see this, got to get my eyes. 00:16:35 Speaker 3: On tutorial Spotted Leopard. Don't send this, They're going to take it down. 00:16:43 Speaker 2: And to be totally fair to me, it makes perfect sense. And I do think the zoo is worried about these videos being online. 00:16:49 Speaker 3: It does because what use do you think the zoo is angry with Animal Planet and that GEO. 00:16:56 Speaker 2: Footage, all those free footage of the animal I know that people should be seeing in person. That's at least according to the zoo. According to the zoo, they probably also don't like shelters. They don't like people going and saying free animals zo Yeah. 00:17:08 Speaker 3: Yeah, the ASPCA and the zoo famous enemies. 00:17:13 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that there's a lot of things going on at the zoo that they've got some concerns about. I haven't been to a zoo in I can't remember the last time I was at the zoo. 00:17:22 Speaker 3: I haven't been in a very long time. I went. I think I've been like twice in the past ten years. And the most memorable time was going in college when I was doing like an acting class where you had to pick an animal and be that animal, which is of course a wonderful way to spend your money. It's a wonderful way. It's very educational, it's very helpful. Really, it was good. It was good and necessary. But you had to go to the zoo ten times in a semester. 00:17:56 Speaker 2: Ten times. Okay. So they're like they're obviously they've teamed up with this. 00:17:59 Speaker 3: My professor and cahoos. 00:18:01 Speaker 2: There's kicks from the zoo. 00:18:03 Speaker 3: Absolutely kickbacks because you don't I because I picked a goat, okay, I wouldn't say I needed to go more than once. 00:18:11 Speaker 2: No, And you could also go to the farm for that one. Of course, you can go to the mountains, have you. 00:18:16 Speaker 3: Okay, I this is off off topics slightly. But I saw a petting zoo recently in a place that I didn't think there should be a petting. 00:18:26 Speaker 2: Zoo, downtown LA. 00:18:28 Speaker 3: It was the Sweet Green on Sunset Boulevard. Was inside the restaurant, it was right outside it, and it was like, it's like busy, but it's a salad restaurant, of course, and they've covered it with like goats and little baby animals and. 00:18:45 Speaker 2: The restaurant's still functioning. 00:18:47 Speaker 3: Yeah, the restaurant was still going. 00:18:49 Speaker 2: And the petting zoo is by Sweet Green. 00:18:51 Speaker 3: It was it was like I can't even express how close it was to sweet Like it was on the Sweet Green property for sure. 00:18:59 Speaker 2: So do we think of a Sweet Green sponsored petting zoo? 00:19:02 Speaker 3: Absolutely? 00:19:02 Speaker 2: What sort of animals that they have there? 00:19:04 Speaker 3: I remember seeing a goat and a baby, maybe like lamb or something, but like definitely like farm animals. 00:19:14 Speaker 2: Which is not where farm animals should be. 00:19:16 Speaker 3: It feels absolutely not where they should be. And I haven't heard anyone talk about this. So the second, thank god, I have a microphone in front of me. I've been waiting for a platform. 00:19:29 Speaker 2: Well, I will say, when you said I remember seeing a goat, it sounds like this may not have actually happened. This is some sort of bizarre this. 00:19:37 Speaker 3: This does sound like a dream I had. 00:19:40 Speaker 2: It was like three days ago, and you're saying I remember seeing. 00:19:44 Speaker 3: No, this is something I feel like I can't prove. I've looked it up. I can't find any sort of like Sweet Green ex petting zoo cutting down the Sunset Boulevard this weekend, like there's no advertising for it. 00:19:58 Speaker 2: Fascinating. I wonder what was going were they feeding them silence from the restaurant. That feels like the only reason the way you would be able to like kind of just like. 00:20:06 Speaker 3: The most intuitive version of that collaboration. 00:20:09 Speaker 2: I mean, I've said this before, but Sweet Green has the driest kale in the business. 00:20:15 Speaker 3: Find a dryer carry. 00:20:16 Speaker 2: Oh you're choking on that kale. 00:20:18 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not it's at least not wet. 00:20:22 Speaker 2: It's not wet. To certainly not give them. 00:20:24 Speaker 3: That it is not wet, so I don't have to worry on that front. 00:20:28 Speaker 2: So you went and learned about the goat. 00:20:30 Speaker 3: I went and learned about the goat to absorb. And then the ultimate result of all of this that we were working towards was a two hour performance where you performed kind of like a life like you just were that goat for two hours. 00:20:49 Speaker 2: It was a one woman show with you as a goat. 00:20:52 Speaker 3: Well, it was like a ten person show and we were all the animals. There was no structure, there was no like an I think only a few people came in to watch it at a time because it was just you would filter in. You'd go into the lobby of the theater building and there'd be a bunch of people going like ah, and then you'd kind of walk out. You'd probably take pictures of your friend, and then you'd leave. 00:21:18 Speaker 2: An absolute waste of time. 00:21:19 Speaker 3: It was, I and for like to the timing of it all, to go through all this and then for the industry to sort of U shilen. 00:21:31 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, everyone's kind of drowning and money and the opportunities are everywhere you go. 00:21:36 Speaker 3: Yes, right before the big boom of twenty twenty one, the gold rush, the gold rush, Yes, it was a good precursor to the absolute rich as we find ourselves in now, to look back and go, that's what the train we certainly, I mean, if they had even taken a moment to teach us how to upload a YouTube video, I'm sure, I'm sure we'd all be in a different place. 00:22:02 Speaker 2: They must be pivoting to that in some way, right, These places are like, okay, just turn it to front facing and here's how you upload it. 00:22:09 Speaker 3: Go to the zoo r with a selfie. 00:22:11 Speaker 2: Stick, you guys, I'm taking you to the zoo. Wow. So you were just did you speak as a goat or you were just making goat noise? 00:22:21 Speaker 3: I made like some goat noises like and I tried to do it very demure, very like, very like. I didn't come in with this. This wasn't my like I want it. 00:22:35 Speaker 2: I And did you have to interact with the other animals? No, it seems like a missed opportunity. 00:22:43 Speaker 3: It does seem like a missed opportunity because I think we were supposed to just kind of pretend that the others weren't there. Okay, because I guess what happens when a goat meets a bear. 00:22:54 Speaker 2: Well, see, that's what I want to see. 00:22:55 Speaker 3: I do want to I want to see us work it out. 00:22:58 Speaker 2: I want to see another acting student shred you a piece. 00:23:00 Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to get literally eaten by a tech student, just like hitting their acting one requirement. Don't even want to be here and they just want to be on the band saw Wow it was crazy. Yeah and then so and yeah it was like a full year of freshman year where we didn't get to do really any scene work. 00:23:26 Speaker 2: Well, you were at the zoo most of the time. 00:23:28 Speaker 3: All my time at the zoo. 00:23:30 Speaker 2: Wait, what college was this? 00:23:31 Speaker 3: I was at Occidental College. 00:23:33 Speaker 2: Okay, So you were going to the La Zoo. 00:23:35 Speaker 3: I was going to the La Zoo. 00:23:36 Speaker 2: Okay, I've never been to the l a zoo. 00:23:38 Speaker 3: It's like it's it's good. 00:23:39 Speaker 2: Oh, it's good. 00:23:40 Speaker 3: I think I think it's good. 00:23:42 Speaker 2: I'm just picturing something. I don't love zoo's. 00:23:44 Speaker 3: It's so much concrete. It's very hot, it's very hot. I yeah, I don't go to a lot of zoos, so I can't tell because my general discomfort with a whole vibe. But zoo, what should we do about it? Should we do something? 00:24:01 Speaker 2: I think it's time to do something about this. 00:24:03 Speaker 3: We have to do something about the zoo. 00:24:04 Speaker 2: The zoo's complicated though, right because I feel like the kind of a good zoo. I suppose that science based is probably helping keep certain animals going. Yeah, or you know, like endangered species. 00:24:20 Speaker 3: The pandas survive. 00:24:21 Speaker 2: They probably the pandas they need a lot of it. 00:24:24 Speaker 3: They need a zoo. The zoo is basically a hotel. 00:24:26 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one animal that probably needs the zoo. 00:24:31 Speaker 3: They probably need the zoo. 00:24:33 Speaker 2: I think the last time I was at the zoo was at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. 00:24:38 Speaker 3: I've heard that's a great zoo. 00:24:39 Speaker 2: Well that's simply not true. The San Diego Safari Park is you I essentially had heat stroke there and all to see half. 00:24:48 Speaker 3: Of an animal, half of an animal. 00:24:51 Speaker 2: I feel like I saw almost nothing. Maybe a deer. I think I may have seen a deer, but I don't even think it was part of the zoo. I think it may have gotten over the fence. It was so hot that I mean literally, I mean obviously every animal is like, please get me out of this. Oh yeah, I found their shade. And then it's just my sister and I and my brother in law. That's that's not erase him from this. 00:25:13 Speaker 3: No, we will not be doing brother in law erasure on this podcast. 00:25:17 Speaker 2: Mason was there. We wandered around just I was wet. My clothes were wet, and not from like a splash zone, they were wet from my body and it was agony. But maybe that's not the experience of the normal person going to this thing. But you're out in some weird valley in San Diego. It's not comfortable. 00:25:37 Speaker 3: It's it's really like concrete makes everything, yes difficult, right, it's so hot and warm. There's something about being really warm on concrete that makes me feel like a six year old and I can't like. 00:25:49 Speaker 2: I wonder what that is. 00:25:51 Speaker 3: I don't know what that is. 00:25:52 Speaker 2: I think maybe just a full loss of control and there's nowhere to run and you just feel like I'm a child and I need help. 00:25:58 Speaker 3: Yes, I'm a child. I need help. I like smell sunscreen. I'm on my way from swimming lessons. Like, maybe it's just like those flash memories. 00:26:06 Speaker 2: Is it the recess element of it being out for recessing? What was your school's playground? Like, okay, a. 00:26:12 Speaker 3: Lot of concrete. It was southern California. I do remember it being very hot. Okay, all right, I think we found it already. I think we found it already. I think it's making sense. But yeah, it was like a big spread out. It was a very like open open campus. Everything was outside because we don't have winter, so you just kind of run around. I remember there being something in recess that happened very briefly for a couple of weeks where we started to create a sort of trading system different kinds of dirt and rocks, and we started to create to create our own. 00:26:49 Speaker 2: Little like economy. 00:26:50 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was an economy, and then the teachers shut it down because. 00:26:54 Speaker 2: They didn't too powerful. 00:26:55 Speaker 3: Yeah, our lobby was too powerful. They they just didn't enjoy and we weren't doing anything wrong. 00:27:02 Speaker 2: That's very odd. Were they worried your hands were getting dirty? 00:27:05 Speaker 3: Maybe that seems like. 00:27:06 Speaker 2: A very healthy thing for kids to be doing. 00:27:08 Speaker 3: Yeah, creating a civilization as a sort of system of government, right and value and currency. 00:27:13 Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems very I wonder there's a darker element to this that these T shirts sure didn't want it happening. 00:27:19 Speaker 3: They're like, we can't have you guys discovering agency in this way. 00:27:24 Speaker 2: Did you ever get into like going into the bathroom and playing Bloody Mary or any of these things? 00:27:29 Speaker 3: I feel like I remember doing that at like a sleepover. 00:27:32 Speaker 2: Maybe this was something that took our playground by storm. Yeah, you go into the bathroom, turn off the lights, et cetera. 00:27:39 Speaker 3: And was it was it scary? Did you feel it was show up? She showed up every time, so it was delighted as I'm sorry, I'm being rude. Did Bloody Mary ever show up? 00:27:52 Speaker 2: Of course she showed up. 00:27:54 Speaker 3: That's her thing, right right, right, right, right right, that's. 00:27:57 Speaker 2: Her trade trademark move is showing up. 00:27:59 Speaker 3: If it wasn't true, why would we do the chat? 00:28:02 Speaker 2: She's there and she was great. She was there, she was great, she was great this scal I don't remember her ever showing up for me. Unfortunately, I do remember the fear. Yeah, I do think it was probably scarier just to go to the bathroom, to go to the bathroom in elementary school, because you know, you're like, everyone's like, if somebody else comes in here while I'm using the bathroom, they're going to be rattling the stall or something. It's just so uncertain, terrify. 00:28:30 Speaker 3: You've had so much less experience with the bathroom. 00:28:33 Speaker 2: Yeah, until then, and now I'm kind of a seasoned bathroom. 00:28:36 Speaker 3: There's kind of a bathroom vet at this point. There's nothing in there that's going to surprise me. 00:28:42 Speaker 2: I'm a hobbyist. I get in there. I have the time of my life. 00:28:48 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm an amateur. I'm I'm not doing a professional core. I'm just simply I mean it's something I practice. 00:28:57 Speaker 2: But I have a good time. No, but we did play Mary and that never got shut down. That never got That's nice that they let you that, right. We did have one day where my in fifth grade where my teacher shut class down entirely and told us about the devil whoa told us about how Satan can take over, which is this was in a public school system. 00:29:21 Speaker 3: And it was it was public okay. 00:29:24 Speaker 2: So that's an interesting thing to think about. 00:29:26 Speaker 3: And did you say she shut the door or shut. 00:29:28 Speaker 2: The door she turned off? Did she turn off the lights? That seems like a weird move if you're like about to talk about the. 00:29:34 Speaker 3: Devil, I mean adds theater. 00:29:36 Speaker 2: Certainly, I feel like the lights got dimmed at least. 00:29:40 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:29:40 Speaker 2: And then she told us about like don't use weedi boards all sorts of things. The devil will come for you. 00:29:46 Speaker 3: Whoa. 00:29:46 Speaker 2: This was a utah, So that kind of explains a little bit of the but still this was a public servant. 00:29:52 Speaker 3: Now do you know if this was like a speech that she did every year. Was it sort of like a like, okay, now now it's time. You know this is coming. The devil will come to you through weedy words and this and this and this this is the syllabus or did she feel like did she feel like it was spur of the moment. 00:30:11 Speaker 2: I think it felt a little spur of the moment. We got a lot of spur of the moments from this particular teacher about like how her. I remember her telling us about how her daughter had been stepping out on her son, and WoT I. 00:30:25 Speaker 3: Whoa, just like that, that's really cool. You can't be telling kids that. 00:30:33 Speaker 2: She's warning us don't step out on your go don't. 00:30:36 Speaker 3: Step out, don't talk to the devil, and don't step out. 00:30:42 Speaker 2: So it was an interesting education. Yeah, interesting. 00:30:46 Speaker 3: Sure. I don't know if I ever got like a devil. I think, like, I think there were some parents who were upset about some plays. 00:30:57 Speaker 2: At Okay, do you remember what plays they were upset? 00:31:00 Speaker 3: I think it was actually before I got it was in high school. It was before I got there. But it like did a brief stint on the National On the National News. 00:31:09 Speaker 2: There's always a parent mad about the tea. 00:31:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, bat boy, bat boy? 00:31:13 Speaker 2: Okay, And that I assume is based on the Weekly World News story about bat Boy. Do you remember the Weekly World News, the black and white tabloid that was like bat boy or Hillary Clinton had an alien baby? 00:31:27 Speaker 1: Oh? 00:31:27 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean something like that. I'm sure I'm not familiar with the actual. 00:31:32 Speaker 2: It was an excellent piece of Oh the play right, but boy, it. 00:31:36 Speaker 3: Had something to do with I think parent what the parents were worried about bestiality. Oh interesting, and so they got the theater shut down, which we love to shut down theater. 00:31:45 Speaker 2: Of course, we're doing it all the time. 00:31:47 Speaker 3: It's really good, it's really good. 00:31:49 Speaker 2: Well, look, I think I've been trying to avoid this topic the entire time. Of course, there's something I do need to bring up, and I'm not comfortable, Kylie. I was looking forward to having you here today. 00:32:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so was I. 00:32:02 Speaker 2: You know, I was. Of course, the podcast is called I said no gifts, so I kind of hit the roof when I saw you come into the studio holding an obvious gift for me. 00:32:14 Speaker 3: I mean, I've entered your space. 00:32:16 Speaker 2: You've entered my space. 00:32:17 Speaker 3: I would feel insane not bringing something. 00:32:23 Speaker 2: Okay, interesting, Well I don't believe any of that. Should we open it here on the podcast? Sure? 00:32:29 Speaker 3: Sure, would you like to? 00:32:34 Speaker 2: Okay? 00:32:34 Speaker 3: So this is a I've wrapped it in sort of a Apple TV FYC. 00:32:39 Speaker 2: Bag for the company get severance. When you vote this. 00:32:45 Speaker 3: For your consideration, consider this severance. Great show. 00:32:51 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is kind of a you know, it's like from the world of Yes Severance. This is a lumen bag. 00:32:57 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:32:58 Speaker 2: So this is somebody's I guess an Audi or an Innie could use Yeah. In the world of the show, let's not forget Yeah. 00:33:07 Speaker 3: I wonder if the Audies use the merch of the innis job interesting? 00:33:12 Speaker 2: That's what they should explore in the next season. 00:33:14 Speaker 3: I hope they get into that in season three. 00:33:16 Speaker 2: That should be the whole thing next season when they release it in twenty thirty seven. 00:33:19 Speaker 3: What do you do about the merch? Seven? I can't wait. 00:33:24 Speaker 2: Aut down, Okay, let me reach in here. 00:33:27 Speaker 3: Okay, pulling it all right, I will say, I. 00:33:29 Speaker 2: Actually have you have this? No, no, I've got all kinds of these. 00:33:35 Speaker 3: No way, no. 00:33:37 Speaker 2: I was going to say, I have no idea what it is, but then I kind of So. 00:33:40 Speaker 3: It's a it's a present that must be activated. I will say, let's see it is activated with a button. Yes. 00:33:48 Speaker 2: Now, listener, if you're just listening, you're missing out on a huge visual right now. It's a tiny one of the carror dealership. What do we call these? Sort of like a wave balloon, the wavy man. 00:34:02 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he is inflatable by this battery pack. I believe I won this in a Dave and Busters. 00:34:11 Speaker 2: Wow, this is a good David Busters. Yeah, listener, can you hear the We'll probably have to turn this off or I'm gonna get it screamed at. But let's let it run for a moment. It is just low hum for a bit. 00:34:22 Speaker 3: It is quite loud if anyone enjoys like lawnmower ASMR, stuff like that. 00:34:28 Speaker 2: Well, this podcast used to be almost entirely recorded in my backyard, so this is kind of a throwback to all of the things you would hear in my backyard. 00:34:34 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sort of outdoors, right. 00:34:37 Speaker 2: Right, So okay, so you got this at a daven Busters. We'll turn it off for a minute. 00:34:42 Speaker 3: Yeah. And the thing about this guy, and what I hoped would happen when I finally found the battery required to activate this, right, was that he would get some are in him and he'd stay up for a while. Sure, but he deflates as soon as you turn him off. 00:34:59 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he falls off. And look at that. And then it's just like what is this thing? 00:35:03 Speaker 3: And then ultimately what is it? 00:35:07 Speaker 2: This can't this has to go in a drawer at that point. This can't just be out on your counter. 00:35:10 Speaker 3: This was my problem. 00:35:11 Speaker 2: Unless it's on. Unless it's on, But then how long does the battery last. 00:35:15 Speaker 3: And I've never run it all the way through. 00:35:17 Speaker 2: This is interesting. It has a little warning on the back that is not all batteries are created equal. 00:35:23 Speaker 3: I've never noticed that. 00:35:25 Speaker 2: Why did they put that on? 00:35:27 Speaker 3: What does it say about? 00:35:30 Speaker 2: No, I guess it's oh for it does say they have recommended brands. Oh that's too weird. Uh why do they care? 00:35:38 Speaker 3: Why did they? Maybe they're getting kickbacks? 00:35:40 Speaker 1: Oh? 00:35:40 Speaker 2: Interesting, this is with dura Cel. This is with. 00:35:43 Speaker 3: Energize, a classic Zoo kickback situation. Uh, but with dura Cel. Yeah, this is Uh, I don't know if I have the right battery in. 00:35:53 Speaker 2: There, then oh, you put a new battery in. 00:35:55 Speaker 3: I had to buy a battery and you. 00:35:57 Speaker 2: Had to unscrew it in everything. 00:35:59 Speaker 3: I had to do a lot. 00:36:01 Speaker 2: This is more than like replacing a battery on an iPhone. Yeah, it's probably more difficult. 00:36:06 Speaker 3: And I think the because I, yeah, I David Busters gave this to me. I believe it's David Busters. Uh Sands battery. 00:36:13 Speaker 2: Oh they didn't give you a battery. 00:36:15 Speaker 3: No they didn't, and so I had to go. I had it on my I remember this was years ago. I had it on my list on my phone forever, like in my like house chores list by double D D battery or whatever. That's probably not double D double D. It seems like a crossover. Yeah, I think, I think work. I think it's crossing. 00:36:38 Speaker 2: Over two worlds. You've got double A triple A. 00:36:41 Speaker 3: Yeah, sort of a thirty four A thirty four double B. 00:36:47 Speaker 2: What I guess there's just a D battery. 00:36:49 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so I think that's probably a D battery. Those can run you. 00:36:54 Speaker 2: Those are at eleven dollars. You can't buy those in like a thirty pack. Like with the small ones. They get like a couple solid battery. It's the is it the one that you can stick to your tongue? Have you ever done this? 00:37:05 Speaker 3: Stick a battery on your tongue? 00:37:06 Speaker 2: You've never heard of. 00:37:08 Speaker 3: Is it the little like the the circular one. 00:37:11 Speaker 2: No, it's the one with the two little things on the top. I think that's a D battery. And if you touch your tongue at zaps you. 00:37:17 Speaker 3: Should we take it out. 00:37:19 Speaker 2: If we had the screwdriver, I would I absolutely get to bust this open. No I didn't, not a shame. I could have really zapped myself on. 00:37:29 Speaker 3: That'll some wonderful engagement. 00:37:34 Speaker 2: That this is something I would recommend trying at home. 00:37:37 Speaker 3: I might. I mean with the other battery that I'm sure I have laying. 00:37:40 Speaker 2: Around that pack, get home and zap yourself. 00:37:42 Speaker 3: So does it matter which way. 00:37:46 Speaker 2: Because it's the sort of battery that only has one I don't know what the battery components are, the zapper elements that we'll send the battery juice into the tool. It's like the bottom of it, it's like a square like this, and then at the top are too little. 00:38:02 Speaker 3: And this is Are these the plus signs? 00:38:05 Speaker 2: Now that's where I don't know. Yeah, okay, but they're the only part of it that would have electricity coming out of it. So once that touches to the tongue, you're getting zapped. You're having the time of your life. It's thrill, your heart's. 00:38:17 Speaker 3: Racing, dancing. Never felt so alive. 00:38:21 Speaker 2: That feels like something that you could take to That should be a new trend of like taking those to music festivals and zapping yourself right at the moment. 00:38:30 Speaker 3: You could lick a little bit of battery. Have you ever Have you ever been to Santa Cruz and licked a banana slug? 00:38:40 Speaker 2: The first half of that mates. 00:38:42 Speaker 3: Okay, so this is this is my friend who grew up in Santa Cruz. This is like something that the you see Santa Cruz kids doing, okay, because there's tons of banana slugs. 00:38:51 Speaker 2: There, and this is an actual slug. 00:38:54 Speaker 3: This is a literal slug. They're like big obvious slugs okay, but yellow. So they're like kind of pretty okay, Like they don't look like a typical like slug you find in the dirt. 00:39:04 Speaker 2: That are they like ocean slugs. 00:39:06 Speaker 3: They're like forests slugs. 00:39:08 Speaker 2: Okay. 00:39:10 Speaker 3: And they're a little bit poisonous, but not so much that it'll make you sick, just so much that it'll numb your tongue in kind of a fun way. So if you touch your tongue to them, they get it. You get a little like buzz Wow. 00:39:22 Speaker 2: This makes me feel better about only putting a battery to my tongue. Yeah, have you done this with the slug? 00:39:28 Speaker 3: I did do it. 00:39:29 Speaker 2: And how numb did your tongue get? 00:39:30 Speaker 3: Just a tiny bit. I was a little afraid. I didn't go like whole hall. I also did want to invade this animal space, right, so I went for a very respectful sort of like light tap, light tap of the tongue on the slug and it was just kind of numb in the on the tip. 00:39:50 Speaker 2: And for how long? 00:39:51 Speaker 3: For like ten minutes? Fascinating Maybe I'm overestimating maybe like two minutes. 00:39:55 Speaker 2: So if you were to put your whole tongue to that, you there's a chance you would bite your tongue, you. 00:39:59 Speaker 3: Know, I mean, dentists need to know about it. 00:40:01 Speaker 2: Yeah, dentist should be warned. 00:40:03 Speaker 3: Dentists should be warned. Dentist, I'd like to warn dentists. 00:40:08 Speaker 2: Wow, and did it taste gross? Yeah? 00:40:11 Speaker 3: I don't remember what it tasted like, but it like I don't think it was like good necessarily, but. 00:40:18 Speaker 2: It's probably I would guess my guesses would be salty or like kind of funky. 00:40:25 Speaker 3: Funky for sure. Probably it's not like really a but it also didn't taste like much. It was the main thing I recall is is the sort of slug. 00:40:37 Speaker 2: Buzz, Right, And so you went to Santa Cruz and this just happened to be a thing you did or was this part of the plan. 00:40:42 Speaker 3: This is like part of the lore that you're supposed to do. And I visited a friend and She's like, this is what we do. This is what we do here. So if you want to do it, you can't. 00:40:52 Speaker 2: Wow. And so then did you have to go to the forest to get it or did you have. 00:40:56 Speaker 3: One you had to go through the for like you they're but they're just kind of everywhere in the forest. They are like very easy to find. Weirdly, it's very it's a beautiful forest. 00:41:05 Speaker 2: It's like a gorgeous like mushrooms growing and you're foraging for things. 00:41:09 Speaker 3: I think I think it's a big mushroom town. 00:41:11 Speaker 2: Okay, see, this is something I would actually like to do. I've never lived in an environment where, well maybe New York you could probably forage, but you'd have to go outside the city. But La, there's no forest that's going to have any real foraging happening. 00:41:25 Speaker 3: No, no where. It's multiple I mean, every once in a while, I'll see like a big mushroom in a random sort of like dirty X tree stuff parking. Yeah, something where you're like, something is a rye here. This shouldn't be here. It doesn't look happy here exactly. 00:41:42 Speaker 2: No. I want to go into the forest, find those find various berries. And now there's this slug element. 00:41:49 Speaker 3: And now there's a slug element for you as well. 00:41:50 Speaker 2: And there's no fear of getting sick. 00:41:52 Speaker 3: I was afraid of that, Okay, I definitely had that fear. 00:41:56 Speaker 2: Somebody must have gotten sick from that at some point. That's a filthy creature. 00:42:00 Speaker 3: There's no way nobody has. It certainly felt like a risk, okay. 00:42:05 Speaker 2: And a Santa Cruz where they have the little like Carnival by the Ocean, the little fair or the little amusement park, yeah, because I believe when I went there they had the roller coaster. And it's kind of claim to fame is that it was in the Michelle Pfeiffer film Dangerous Minds. 00:42:21 Speaker 3: Oh ye did I write it? 00:42:24 Speaker 2: I can't remember? 00:42:25 Speaker 3: That sounds right, I mean it feels like kind of a yeah, it's kind of like a spooky carnival, sort of like like not Coney Island entirely. Okay, there's vibes of that. 00:42:37 Speaker 2: It's anytime you have an old kind of amusement park. Yeah. The Michelle Pfeiffer has used as a shooting location of course. 00:42:45 Speaker 3: Of course, where there's carnival, there's fifer. Do you ever get those clips of like fake podcasts that are ads. 00:42:56 Speaker 2: They're ramping up. Yeah, they're really ramping up a lot of the fake ones and now even faker where they're now AI people. So it's like, ye, before it was just like, well, this is certainly not a clip from a real podcast. It's an actor or whatever. 00:43:09 Speaker 3: It's like, okay, they're acting it out. Now it's just like have you seen this insurance? Yes, I've seen this insurance? Wait where do I sign up? 00:43:20 Speaker 2: Where are they sourcing these fake people outside of the AI realm to be like you reach out to somebody and you're like, will you do a fake I mean I think that not only ads at this point, but people are like creating. They'll make a phony little podcast studio just to make clips to post to a TikTok that lead and they don't ever lead back to an actual podcast. 00:43:40 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sort of this weird circular industry now where it's all just like imitating a thing that isn't real. That is also, but I don't know where where you get these fake people. I'm not sure I get these mass emails sometimes because I've like posted on TikTok for years. I was doing that, and so I think I've gotten on this like some random track, but it'll be like random emails that like I can't really pronounce the name of Like it'll be a company that's like keyGo or Gee Geeky, right, like a bunch of cues and exes, and they're like, we're paying creators three hundred dollars to do this script. And then it's always like ads for mobile games where it's like the exact same script and they want like five hundred different. 00:44:30 Speaker 2: People to do it these mobile games. The money being poured into mobile game. 00:44:34 Speaker 3: Ads, it's unbelievable. 00:44:37 Speaker 2: I've tried. Something is a foot, Something's extremely a foot. Because years ago I read that they had the Monopoly goes ad budget was five hundred million dollars. That's not an exaggeration. They spent half a billion. 00:44:51 Speaker 3: Dollars half a billion dollars. 00:44:54 Speaker 2: To advertise Monopoly Go. And I never fall for these games. I know this is your garbage, but people do. And then I remember a listener reached out and she's like, this is I'm so ashamed to say. My boyfriend found out I had spent six hundred dollars on Monopoly Go. So they're bringing there, they're hooking people. 00:45:16 Speaker 3: What are you spending the money on is it just well I guess, I guess it's a money game, so that actually. 00:45:24 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the money it's almost like an exchange rate. My money goes towards Monopoly bucks probably, yeah, But most of these games, it's just like the game is horrible and unusable until you start spending money on it. 00:45:36 Speaker 3: And it's not even like cute. 00:45:38 Speaker 2: No, none of them are cute. It's like garb. I mean, it's true garbage. 00:45:42 Speaker 3: The king is stuck in a tube. What's going on with this king? What is his jurisdiction? What country does he rule over? Who am I in this situation? 00:45:53 Speaker 2: Why is he drowning in sewage? It's like he puts himself in such precarious situations? 00:45:59 Speaker 3: Is the king in all this? The king is like Bart Simpson, she's up to no good. 00:46:05 Speaker 2: I just want to see him on his throne and just kind of looking out for his people. Yet sometimes like he's near spikes, things are falling on him and they want me to protect him. 00:46:14 Speaker 3: And you think with a king game, like there's there's like king things you could do that would be fun to gamify, Like, Okay, we're going to sign a treaty, We're going to like start a war if that's fun for some video gamers. 00:46:29 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like there's certain like escapist elements of being a king in a fantasy. 00:46:33 Speaker 3: Land that makes sense, Jewels. 00:46:35 Speaker 2: Not being trapped in death traps, you know, like big moments. 00:46:38 Speaker 3: From wish I were a king, so then I could be stuck in a poop tube. Somebody has to get. 00:46:44 Speaker 2: Me out that. There's that king that I often get confronted by. And then there's this poor gal. She's got all sorts of like blemishes and she's out in the cold. She's kind of like a nineteenth century peasant in Russia somewhere, but she also has zits, and it's like, help change her life. That's I think that's like the game is called like basically, I've. 00:47:09 Speaker 3: Seen ones like these where it is like this poor woman, look at this loser. My god, she's in a situation, and we have to do something about this. A lot of times it's like okay, and should I have a baby, or should I marry the poor man? Or should I marry the rich man? And it just doesn't seem like there's a whole lot to. 00:47:31 Speaker 2: Be no doing. And then I imagine, once you get into the game, it's just candy crush, but in different colors. Yeah, right, Like they're not You're not actually helping this gal or this king. You're just matching different colors and then spending your money while your boyfriend doesn't know. 00:47:45 Speaker 3: How does this candy crush get this woman out of this situation? 00:47:48 Speaker 2: And meanwhile, there's no class, no game about this about the middle class. You know, we have the king and we have this peasant out in the cold. 00:47:55 Speaker 3: What about the everyman? 00:47:56 Speaker 2: The middle class is disappearing, even in mobiles. 00:47:59 Speaker 3: Merch class. The blacksmith. 00:48:01 Speaker 2: Yes, somebody with a job who's that kind of together should also be in life threatening danger. 00:48:06 Speaker 3: Yeah, and we can get him out of stuff. There's there's no in between. There's these extremes. 00:48:13 Speaker 2: We're so divided the world we live in. I've been watching a lot of garbage on TV, seper Lives and Mormon Wives in Real House and the ads. 00:48:24 Speaker 3: I'm sure love Salt Lake City. 00:48:25 Speaker 2: We love our gals on Salt Lake City, don't we. 00:48:28 Speaker 3: I'm a little behind. I confess I'm a season behind it. Okay, I do love them. 00:48:33 Speaker 2: There are some big I think some big changes coming yeah, I've heard things. I've heard the things I've heard. 00:48:40 Speaker 3: WHOA Okay, anyway, I'm on the edge of my seat. 00:48:45 Speaker 2: I'm forced to watch this ad for this new thing called missed Play. Have you heard of missed play? 00:48:50 Speaker 3: That sounds so familiar, But I couldn't tell you it was. 00:48:53 Speaker 2: The newest obvious game scam. But they're trying to tell people it's a job. They say, you play the game to make funny and it's just like it's literally like the ad is this woman who's failing at every other area of her life, she's trying to make money. She finally settles on playing a mobile game to make money. Oh, I mean, what are they doing to these people? Like what dark end is happening with this game? 00:49:15 Speaker 3: Yeah, we can't, we can't. We've never ever took taken the advertising angle of these are jobs. 00:49:21 Speaker 2: Yeah, candy Crush is job. 00:49:24 Speaker 3: But I have heard these like AI women being like I used to have. 00:49:29 Speaker 2: I like I was a peasant in the cold, covered in zits. 00:49:34 Speaker 3: I was a Russian peasant covered in zits and now I'm a millionaire. It's so crazy, Like I make three hundred dollars a week playing. Oh, it's solitaire, so one that I keep getting. I keep getting these women who are playing solitaire for money as a job. 00:49:51 Speaker 2: Gambling. 00:49:52 Speaker 3: It is gambling. 00:49:53 Speaker 2: Gambling is a job. That's what they all are. Really, They're all essentially just gambling. 00:49:58 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:49:59 Speaker 2: Ye, every area of American and probably everyone's life at this point is gambling. 00:50:05 Speaker 3: It's all gambling. Do you like gambling? 00:50:07 Speaker 2: You hate gambling. I went to. 00:50:09 Speaker 3: Vegas one time and I spent a total of I gambled eighty dollars, okay, And I was like, oh, yeah, I'll give myself like one hundred dollars to just like gamble away and then like it doesn't matter what happens to it. But they never gave me an ounce of money back. 00:50:23 Speaker 2: Like I never made anything back. 00:50:25 Speaker 3: I never made anything back except for like a dollar here and there. But I never, like, they never hooked. 00:50:30 Speaker 2: Me with any amount. You want a little hook so you're like, oh, it can work. Yeah, you need to know at least once that like there will be some coming back to you so then you'll keep doing it. 00:50:40 Speaker 3: I need like a little bit of an incentive. I need like a twenty or something here and there. But they didn't. They didn't give me any of that, and I was willing to start a gambling problem. 00:50:49 Speaker 2: The casino industry failed you. 00:50:50 Speaker 3: The casino industry failed I felt othered and had cast aside unwanted. 00:50:58 Speaker 2: What games were you playing? 00:50:59 Speaker 3: I was playing a lot of slot machines. 00:51:01 Speaker 2: Okay, see this is one, like that's the only one that I can kind of figure out how to play. And apparently that's the worst one for gambling, Apparently it's. 00:51:08 Speaker 3: Not good for actually making money, right. And then I played blackjack a couple times with like one of those like hot virtual blackjack dealers. Hey, big play, you want to put down a card? And I was just mesmerized by her. But I also don't really know blackjack very well, so I didn't have the confidence to like fully right to show off. Yeah, she may be so nervous. No, I think I just didn't know how to play. So I didn't make any money. But I thought that the slot machines would give me at least something. 00:51:46 Speaker 2: No. I recently was kind of had to gamble and I did slot machine and I was just like, I don't think I made a cent, and I was it wasn't even fun. Yeah, Okay, there's no element of this that I'm in joint. 00:52:00 Speaker 3: No, I like the free watery drinks though, that's I didn't even get a free watery drink. Nobody brought you a free watery drink. 00:52:06 Speaker 2: Oh, this was at the Palm Springs Casino. I think it's a little low rent. Oh yeah, you know, it's kind of just one medium size room of yeah sad people. And uh, what I was shocked to learn was I barely knew how to use a slot machine, which feels like there's one step I got to it. I was like, oh my god, this is complicated. 00:52:27 Speaker 3: Yeah, like, certainly I should be smart enough to use this thing because they. 00:52:30 Speaker 2: Don't really have the arm as much anymore. It's more of the buttons and the touch screens. 00:52:34 Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's like the doubler and the multiplier and like the one X like weird. 00:52:39 Speaker 2: Yeah, all of those little things. 00:52:40 Speaker 3: I want to pull a lever. 00:52:42 Speaker 2: I don't need to read a book on how to use this thing. No, let me pull it. And then like three cherries line up and I'm yeah, headed to MAUI. 00:52:52 Speaker 3: That's what I want. 00:52:53 Speaker 2: I want. 00:52:53 Speaker 3: I need something tac time, right, because if it's just on a screen, this is what I don't really. I I don't think I could get addicted to mobile sports betting because I'm like, I feel like I want the texature. I want to be at the race tracks. 00:53:08 Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, it all goes away and then it is just literally taking your money and there's no other thing about it. Yeah, at least in a casino, somebody's breathing smoke down your throat. 00:53:18 Speaker 3: Yes, you're like, where does the exit start and end? How long have I been here? I can't tell where I am. 00:53:26 Speaker 2: My family doesn't know where I am. I've lost service, no one has. 00:53:30 Speaker 3: Heard from me. I'm hungry, I'm drunk. There's like stuff going on. There's there's a bit of glamor to that. 00:53:39 Speaker 2: What casino where you at? 00:53:40 Speaker 3: I couldn't tell you. Wow, I mean they're all I was in Vegas and they're all like they all just kind of blend into it. It's really hard to tell. But I liked the other parts of Vegas. It kind of feels like you're in like a weird sort of like European Disneyland. Everyone's open, containering. It's like a strange playground. I saw the Blue Man Group and they were phenomenal. 00:54:07 Speaker 2: Are they over now? Did they close it down. 00:54:09 Speaker 3: Oh, I think they've closed down a different theater still in Vegas. 00:54:14 Speaker 2: Oh, I think maybe they closed the one in maybe New York, the Village or something. Yeah, I feel like I've walked past it closed Blue Men group that you hate to see that our nation's bluemn group shutting down. Well, so you've got to see the Blue Man group and do anything else. 00:54:30 Speaker 3: I hung out in the Flamingo pool for a while, which was yeah, and I couldn't. It was where I wish I could like turn off my brain and know less things. But my friend's dad works in the pool industry. Okay, he says highest levels of poop are in the Vegas pools of any pool in the in the state, not the state of the country. 00:54:56 Speaker 2: I don't need a pool PhD to tell you that those are just full of absolute carpet. 00:55:01 Speaker 3: I guess this is not a revelation. 00:55:03 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure the poop is probably the least of your worries in one of those pools. Oh yeah, there's probably just blood in those pools. Filth. 00:55:12 Speaker 3: Really, you really can't look down when you're in just looking up directly the get heat stroke. Three margaritas in it really is. You don't feel well the entire time. 00:55:26 Speaker 2: That's kind of the Vegas experience, at least. I can't speak for everyone. Of course, some people love the Vegas experience. Course, they love the glitz and glam and poop and pools and losing money and all of those other things. For me, not a not a place I really need to return to. 00:55:44 Speaker 3: No, I think I experienced it right, and I'm so grateful for that time. 00:55:49 Speaker 2: I'm slowly starting to feel the pull of the Sphere to experience whatever's going on in there once probably and I'll probably hate it. Yeah, I would like to see what's happening. 00:56:02 Speaker 3: I am also feeling the pull of the sphere right before they close it down, because I know it's all or something. Yeah, everyone, I feel like the online narrative of the sphere is like. 00:56:13 Speaker 2: This is bad. 00:56:14 Speaker 3: We don't want to go to the sphere, But I keep seeing it. 00:56:18 Speaker 2: I think you get in there and you're having a good time. You sure you're having you know, have you seen the mini sphere here in Burbank? No, they have a sphere we have. It's not public. This is a private sphere. 00:56:31 Speaker 3: This is a private sphere. 00:56:33 Speaker 2: This is their sphere. This is I believe the spheres, the beta sphere, enter the beta. 00:56:40 Speaker 3: Sphere, enter the beta sphere. 00:56:44 Speaker 2: That does feel like kind of uh, that's that you want to graduate from that into the Mano sphere. It's probably yeah, you started the beta sphere. 00:56:53 Speaker 3: That's you've got to get out of there so you could be a big, big, big man who eats protein all day. 00:57:01 Speaker 2: The more I say sphere, the more disoriented I fear. 00:57:04 Speaker 3: Sphere. It's like as it feels very future. Yeah, this feels like. 00:57:09 Speaker 2: We're touching something that has not been touched for. 00:57:11 Speaker 3: In the twenty first century right now, Like there is a two in front of all those numbers hard to We're not talking. 00:57:20 Speaker 2: About cubes or blocks or even pyramids. 00:57:25 Speaker 3: This is this is ancient history. This is Industrial revolution stuff. The sphere is the future. 00:57:31 Speaker 2: And there is a beta sphere, and I believe they go in there and they try out the things in there. 00:57:36 Speaker 3: Oh, so it's like a narrow reach out. 00:57:39 Speaker 2: I guess it's kind of a NASA gravity you know, I guess. 00:57:42 Speaker 3: It's gravity sort of simulators. But oh my gosh, do you think it So it's not open to the public. 00:57:50 Speaker 2: No, not open to the public. Can't buy tickets, Okay, I have to assume that they could give us a private tour. Sure, Spear reach. 00:57:57 Speaker 3: Out Sphere, Spear reach Out Sphere. If the AI for the sphere is scanning podcasts, I listen to the phrase I want to go to the sphere. 00:58:06 Speaker 2: I want to try Beta sphere. 00:58:08 Speaker 3: I would like to try betas. 00:58:09 Speaker 2: Before graduating to Alpha sphere. And that's the classic Vegas sphere. I wonder they're probably gonna build a sphere elsewhere. 00:58:17 Speaker 3: I'm sure if I mean, if I'm the sphere, I'm putting the sphere in everywhere I can get, every country I can find. I'm putting speares anywhere they'll let me. 00:58:28 Speaker 2: You're gonna see the sphere next time you go to the Burbank Airport or something, keep your eye out for a sphere. 00:58:34 Speaker 3: And right next to that guy Fiery restaurant and the is it an earth Cafe? 00:58:40 Speaker 2: Do you know what? I hate? Earth Cafe? 00:58:42 Speaker 3: Wow? I've never had something good from there. 00:58:46 Speaker 2: Not in a million years. I've had a lot of wilted spinach and sunflower seeds and very bad tasting coffee. But it's still kind of has maintained some sort of seeniness to it. 00:58:57 Speaker 3: I think it like has some there's some there's like a value to the brand, like they've got like a good name everyone. I think it's one of those things that everybody assumes. 00:59:07 Speaker 2: Is good, right, because it's you are. 00:59:09 Speaker 3: I've been going there since I was like it was like a place you'd go. 00:59:13 Speaker 2: Around for a while, right, Yeah, And it feels very entourage to me. Yeah, it feels like the guys would head down to Earth Cafe and now at a woman or something. 00:59:24 Speaker 3: You gotta be it's a great spot to yell at women. Oh, I have lots of women there. 00:59:30 Speaker 2: My entire assumption about what entourage is is guys driving around yelling. 00:59:34 Speaker 3: At If you'd said where what restaurant are the entourage guys going to? I don't know if I'd say Earth Cafe first. 00:59:44 Speaker 2: They probably make fun within that time period. They probably make fun of somebody going to the Earth Cafe. 00:59:48 Speaker 3: Oh, totally. 00:59:49 Speaker 2: The guy goes to the Earth Cafe and they say, what's going on with him? It's going on here, and then they call him a metro se. 00:59:57 Speaker 3: Metrosexual. 00:59:58 Speaker 2: We need to get back to calling people metro sexuals. 01:00:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, what a time period that one. What a time period. And I remember using the word. I remember using. 01:00:09 Speaker 2: The word in a very nasty way. 01:00:13 Speaker 3: Yes, and I said it derogatory metro sexual and it's just guys with scarves. 01:00:21 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was guys with scarves that had more than one ingredient in their coffee. Yeah, you were suddenly you were metro. You were sexual. 01:00:31 Speaker 3: You were metro. Oh and boy were you sexual? 01:00:34 Speaker 2: You were down at what I guess you would go to Forever twenty one or what's the other one? 01:00:39 Speaker 1: Oh? 01:00:40 Speaker 3: Yeah, Forever twenty one. 01:00:42 Speaker 2: There's the other h and M. No, there's the one that's kind of like it feels like this is where you would go for a cheap New Year's Eve outfit. 01:00:50 Speaker 3: Oh my god, ah for Charlotte Ruse. 01:00:53 Speaker 2: No, it's for boys and girls, Boys and girls Express Express. That's what I'm like. That feels like you would go for a cheap New Your's Eve outfit. 01:01:01 Speaker 3: Right, I'm a metrosexual in twenty ten and it's New Year's Eve. There's only one place I'm going. 01:01:06 Speaker 2: I've just done finished painting my nails. People are wondering, But the answer is, I'm metro. 01:01:12 Speaker 3: I'm Metro, and the New York Times is banging down my door to write a thing piece about me and several other men who look like me. Does anyone straight there's not much to say. We wear cardigans. 01:01:28 Speaker 2: Does anyone in the world identify as a metrosexual at this point? 01:01:32 Speaker 3: Metrosexuals, we want to hear from you. The sphere, we want to hear from you. 01:01:36 Speaker 2: The sphere overrun with metrosexuals. 01:01:41 Speaker 3: It's metrosexual night at the Sphere. Come on back. 01:01:45 Speaker 2: It's metrosexuals like you never have before. 01:01:49 Speaker 3: There the sphere is plastered with them. 01:01:53 Speaker 2: I'm going to ring in the new year at the Sphere with other metrosexuals, me and. 01:01:57 Speaker 3: A bunch of like minded guys. 01:02:01 Speaker 2: Now, a woman could never be a metro sensual. 01:02:03 Speaker 3: No, that's the tragic thing. That's the tragic thing, because cardigans, I would say, come from women in general. 01:02:11 Speaker 2: I think women need to break that. 01:02:15 Speaker 3: No, it's not you can't say anything anymore. 01:02:18 Speaker 2: Cardigan's Coming podcast. 01:02:20 Speaker 3: This is a thank you microphone. Thank god I have this. 01:02:26 Speaker 2: Ah, is there anything left to say about this? 01:02:32 Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's such a thing to be enjoyed when the noise is going and maybe perhaps there's other noises happening in the background to mask it. 01:02:43 Speaker 2: Kind of a white noise machine. Yeah. 01:02:45 Speaker 3: I bet you could sleep to it. 01:02:47 Speaker 2: Oh, that would be nice, and then wake up and scream when you see this. 01:02:50 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're okay with encountering a monster sleep paralysis demon. 01:02:56 Speaker 2: Do you remember what game you played to win this? 01:02:59 Speaker 3: I don't know, but if I I mean when I go to Dave and Buster's, I'm heading straight for the Dealer No Deal Game time. I really like the Dealer No Deal Game it. I mean it is kind of like one of those only virtual things. 01:03:17 Speaker 2: And what are you doing. You're just picking which briefcase. 01:03:20 Speaker 3: Picking ladies, and you're going like, okay, number twelve, and then she opens it up and then she either goes like ooh or she goes like yay, and it's really good. I love those girls. 01:03:31 Speaker 2: Did they ever have bad things come out of the suitcases in the show? 01:03:35 Speaker 3: Like bad number? That's such a missed opportunity time to reboot. Because it's a suitcase. 01:03:43 Speaker 2: There should be all sorts of horrible things that come out of you. 01:03:46 Speaker 3: It shouldn't all be money, no, and then the banker should have to make a calculation with like okay, well that one's rats we know that there's still worms a million dollars and twelve dollars left, so I'm gonna go ahead and offer you ten thousand dollars. 01:04:00 Speaker 2: Feels like a real new version of the show. Yeah, one of those could have a person who's running out of oxygen. Yeah, just all kinds of things inside the briefcases. 01:04:09 Speaker 3: They could have activated it so much. Well, there was, and I didn't watch it all the way through. Dealer, No Deal Island. 01:04:18 Speaker 2: No Deal the movie. 01:04:22 Speaker 3: No, but I hope another unexplored fingers crossed there's an island Dealer, No Deal Island. Okay, So so from the pilot episode that I watched, most of. 01:04:37 Speaker 2: You didn't even make it through. 01:04:38 Speaker 3: I couldn't follow it. I confess I couldn't follow it. But like they're all on this island. There are models of all genders now, okay, so we're there's no problem anymore with with just pretty ladies holding everybody. There's pretty guys, well not there yet. Everybody's still hot and they like you would have to go running around the island with your team to like find briefcases. The briefcase it kind of became more of a like Survivor esque kind of thing. But it it's it's interesting to watch, right. 01:05:21 Speaker 2: It feels like maybe there were just one too many ingredients. 01:05:24 Speaker 3: I'd say there's many ideas. This was No Deal Island. 01:05:29 Speaker 2: Interesting. 01:05:30 Speaker 3: Well, uh, and I might go I might tap back. 01:05:33 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm like, you know what where do I access Dealer No Deal Island? 01:05:37 Speaker 3: Because I just start? Do you watch Survivor on occasion? 01:05:41 Speaker 2: I've watched a decent chunk of it, especially during the pandemic. I watched a lot of it. 01:05:44 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just started. I had never been on it. But because of because it's fifty, I'm like, I'm swept up in the ferber. 01:05:52 Speaker 2: And season fifty is happening. 01:05:54 Speaker 3: Season fifty is happening. It's like a big event. 01:05:56 Speaker 2: Dearest, Congratulations and I forgive me, I've been rude. 01:06:01 Speaker 3: Congratulations are in order to survive her on fifty incredible seasons. But they have all these like celebrities popping in. There's like the Billie Eilish boomerang idol is being hidden all. 01:06:12 Speaker 2: Over the island with the boomerang. 01:06:15 Speaker 3: She is nowhere to be found. Oh but she left a note on the idol. And I'm still like getting used to Survivor culture. I kind of thought that Billie Eilish would show up. I in my in my TV literacy like expectation. I saw them unwrap the Billie Eilish Boomerang idol read the little note being like, Hi, I'm Billie Eilish and this is the Boomerang idol and I'm like, okay, cool. So at the end of the episode, she'll show up. 01:06:39 Speaker 2: But really, stupid of you, I think that a celebrity's name would lead to the celebrity being on the show. 01:06:45 Speaker 3: I know, I feel led astray, but maybe we're saving him for the finale. 01:06:48 Speaker 2: I don't think she's like circling the island in a helicopter. 01:06:52 Speaker 3: She's waiting for just the right time, just for the stakes to get high enough and then she'll drop down. But Survivor's very it's a very interesting show, so it fun sharked kind of a like, Okay, maybe I'll go back to Dealer No deal island, right. 01:07:06 Speaker 2: My problem with Survivor is there no briefcases. So this is kind of the perfect solve for that. 01:07:11 Speaker 3: If these two shows would just talk to each other. 01:07:13 Speaker 2: Get some sort of luggage or something you could take to the office. 01:07:19 Speaker 3: What are you going to do with all those totems when you go home? How are you going to get them? 01:07:22 Speaker 1: There? 01:07:23 Speaker 3: Give these people a briefcase. 01:07:24 Speaker 2: It's an easy solution to an obvious problem. Yeah, well, I think we should play a game. Okay, deal or no Deal's got me in the mood. 01:07:33 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well we're going. 01:07:34 Speaker 2: To play a game called Gift or a Curse. I need a number between one and ten from you. Seven. Okay. I have to do some light calculating to get our game pieces. So right now, you can recommend promote to whatever you want. I'll be right back. 01:07:46 Speaker 3: Okay, Hi everybody, Hello listeners, This is Kylie. I am the person who's been on this podcast since then. I have a podcast as well that Bridger's been on that is is called Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists. It's an improvised Hollywood roundtable podcast where we play different characters every time. And then I also have a live show at the Illegion that I don't remember the date of, but you can follow me on Instagram at Dead Eye Brakemen and I will provide that information willingly and when I have it. In terms of other things I can recommend. I am watching season ten of Love is Blind, although I now realize I am a few weeks behind Ohio, Ohio. 01:08:35 Speaker 2: It's the only season I've ever watched. 01:08:37 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're all kind of like this. Okay, they all hit the same like decibel. 01:08:43 Speaker 2: Okay, I'd say that makes sense. 01:08:45 Speaker 3: Every city like they are different from each other. But it's like it's all kind of the same size of city and like type of person. Right, everybody looks similar. 01:08:58 Speaker 2: That makes sense. 01:08:59 Speaker 3: But I'm still gobbling it up. 01:09:02 Speaker 2: I had an excellent time watching it. Where are you in the show? 01:09:05 Speaker 3: I think I'm on. I haven't gotten to we haven't gone to Mexico yet. Oh okay, so I'm still early. 01:09:10 Speaker 2: Got a lot, a lot ahead at you. 01:09:12 Speaker 3: There's a lot to go. 01:09:14 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some revelations, there's some behavior. Just brace yourself. 01:09:18 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm getting ready. 01:09:20 Speaker 2: Brace yourself. And the reunion. I mean, I've never seen a reunion special like this. This felt like they really it was really. I mean, the culture has become entirely Jerry Springer at this point. Yes, yes, yes, maybe beyond Jerry Springer. Yes, so crazy. 01:09:36 Speaker 3: Jerry Springer planted a seed, yet we are now seeing harvesting over and over we continue to harvest. 01:09:44 Speaker 2: Yes everyone, Yes, go find everything that Kylie is involved with. It's all wonderful and wonderful. Let's play the game. This is how we play. I'm going to name three things, so you'll tell me if there are a gift or a curse and why. Then I'll tell you if you're a writer wrong, there are correct answers. You can fail, you can win big great, you can get an in between. I suppose. All right, these are all suggestions from our Patreon listeners today. This first one is from Rick. Gift or a curse referring to your personal life as behind the scenes. 01:10:18 Speaker 3: Okay, this is okay that and would I like to receive this as a gift? 01:10:25 Speaker 2: No, the concept you think it is? 01:10:27 Speaker 3: Ok yes? Is that a gift to riccurse? I think that's a gift. I think that provides sort of like a theatricality to your life that enables you to continue making big, bold choices in your life. If you feel you are the star of a show, you might act accordically, if you feel there's some stakes and some drama to it. 01:10:49 Speaker 2: Correct gift. Oh, that's a gift. That's a little taste of Hollywood, of course, have the self respect to think that you are the protagonists. That everybody's watching you and they want to know what's happening behind the scenes. Yeah, they want that BTS footage. 01:11:05 Speaker 3: You have to live as though you are the star, yes, and not the star's accountant or whatnot. 01:11:12 Speaker 2: Everyone at the office should be hearing about your behind the scenes. 01:11:16 Speaker 3: Yes, I need to tell you about my behind the scenes. 01:11:21 Speaker 2: I keep that behind the scene. So that's a gift. That's a gift you can give yourself and everyone else in your life. Okay, this next one is from Lorraine. Gift or a curse? 01:11:30 Speaker 3: Bruises, bruises, bruises, curse Why I always hit my leg in the dang night and I don't know how it's happening, but I wake up I have and you might even be able to see it because I'm podcasting in a drawer. 01:11:46 Speaker 2: For God's sake, God's sake. 01:11:48 Speaker 3: But I feel like I'm constantly covered in bruises. I feel like this is nothing but a curse. Hmm, Am I wrong? 01:11:56 Speaker 2: Wrong? No, this is a gift. Okay. This is a color that we don't see often. This is a little thing that you get to just kind of your body gets to explore a new color for a period, and it's a reminder of the mistakes you make. 01:12:11 Speaker 3: So true, I forgot about art the blue period. 01:12:13 Speaker 2: Yes exactly. And it's like, well you you caused it. Yeah, you're to blame for the bruise, and so why not live with it for a few days. Put a dress on, go out. Let people know I kicked something in the night. I can't be trusted to sleep in. 01:12:30 Speaker 3: A bit, I can't be trusted. 01:12:32 Speaker 2: Bruise is it's a badge of honor that nature provides and it's a lesson. It's ultimately a lesson. So you got that wrong. Now. Finally, this is from a listener named Grace. Gift or a curse Garbage day? 01:12:45 Speaker 3: Garbage day is? I mean, I think it's a gift. Yeah, that's a gift. Society takes away the garbage for you, and I think that's nice. 01:13:00 Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. 01:13:00 Speaker 3: It's it's nice that someone comes along and relieves you of of your mess. It's nice and it's the mark of a civilized society. I think. So I would say, I would say. 01:13:14 Speaker 2: Gift, Well, you're wrong, that's that's a curse. 01:13:17 Speaker 3: I knew. I would be. 01:13:18 Speaker 2: Garbage Day is a curse. They're taking away my things. They're taking my things, and it's noisy. What's good about any of that? I think that's bad. Garbage Day is a curse. 01:13:31 Speaker 3: Things are wrappers, You're precious wrappers and boxes. Things. 01:13:37 Speaker 2: Stop taking my taking my things. He took my thing chasing the garbage truck. You took my things. Do they let garbage trucks on the freeway? That feels like I shouldn't be able to go that fast. 01:13:54 Speaker 3: I think I saw one on the freeway recently and it was going quite slow. Interesting, it doesn't feel like an intuitive spot for that. 01:14:04 Speaker 2: A garbage truck should not be going eighty five. No, it feels bad. 01:14:08 Speaker 3: Garbage struck shouldn't be gunning it. 01:14:12 Speaker 2: What a feeling, What a feeling that would be to me? 01:14:14 Speaker 3: Just race into the dump. 01:14:17 Speaker 2: Gotta get to the top. 01:14:18 Speaker 3: One hundred miles an hour, flying down the carpool lane, I. 01:14:22 Speaker 2: Gotta get to the dump. 01:14:26 Speaker 3: Where do you gotta be? Where on earth do you have to be so bad? 01:14:30 Speaker 2: Looking at your watch? 01:14:32 Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm late for the dump. Guys, the dump are gonna be furious. 01:14:39 Speaker 2: If I'm light to the dump. One more time. 01:14:43 Speaker 3: They're not gonna let me pick up any more trash. 01:14:47 Speaker 2: It's just rude. It's just rude. Yeah, you gotta get to the dump on time. Well, you got one out of three. 01:14:54 Speaker 3: Hey, that's if this was a baseball stat that'd be a that'd be a batting average of three thirty three? 01:15:02 Speaker 2: Is that good? 01:15:03 Speaker 3: Which is good? Believe that you believe that that's good. 01:15:08 Speaker 2: One out of three. 01:15:09 Speaker 3: That's actually an incredible batting average because it's usually like, yeah, you hit one out of every eight, okay. 01:15:18 Speaker 2: Okay, so you're never one out of three. Yeah, you hit chunk of the pie. 01:15:22 Speaker 3: It's a big chunk of the pie. 01:15:23 Speaker 2: And they're that bad at hitting the ball that Wow, it's really a picture's game. Interesting. Batters have got to get better at the game. They do. I've never hit a baseball. You've never hit a baseball once in my life. 01:15:34 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. 01:15:36 Speaker 2: And I think I've tried to get out there hard. But you know, as a child, you're exposed to baseball. Yeah, my batting average is it's not. 01:15:44 Speaker 3: I played good softball for ten years, but all through the child part before you've become like it becomes actually competitive. Oh okay, and I barely ever hit the ball. It's very, very difficult. 01:15:57 Speaker 2: Oh, it's scary difficult, and it's scary. 01:15:59 Speaker 3: It's coming at you very I don't. 01:16:00 Speaker 2: Like that feeling. No, I shouldn't have to hit things away from me. 01:16:03 Speaker 3: No, and I always hit very defensively, like. 01:16:07 Speaker 2: Scream. No. Okay, well, let's answer a listener question. People are writing into I said no gifts at gmail dot com, or they're sending voice notes, et cetera. We hope me answer one of these. Of course, it says deer bridger and guest, that's very cold. Okay. I want to give a present to my fifty eight Oh, I want to give a present to my fifty eight year old sugar daddy. He basically funds my life, and I'd love to show him my appreciation. No, I don't, but I don't know if it would be weird basically using his own money to buy him a gift. He loves dogs, cooking, travel, and spending money, and spending money on young women. And that's from Sabrina. Sabrina, I'm sorry, my apology. I'm trying to show this email the respect it deserves. This is serious, this is real. What does Sabrina get her sugar daddy. He's fifty eight. Wow, he. 01:17:14 Speaker 3: He loves so what is what does he love? Again? He loves I mean I heard spending other than the obvious, spending money on young women. 01:17:23 Speaker 2: He loves dogs, cooking, travel. 01:17:26 Speaker 3: Dogs, cooking travel. Yes, okay, Wow, this is sort of a like I cut off my hair to buy you jewels. 01:17:36 Speaker 2: But oh it's got a cold gift of the magic gift of. 01:17:40 Speaker 3: The magi, A classic gift of the classic gift of the magi. Because the thing he wants most of all is to spend money on you, all right. 01:17:48 Speaker 2: But if she spends it all on him, he won't be able to spend it on her. 01:17:51 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there's math here. 01:17:54 Speaker 2: A dangerous game. 01:17:55 Speaker 3: This is a dangerous game. Oh my gosh. I mean, okay, but he loves. 01:18:00 Speaker 2: That she's spending the money, or that his money's being suspenced. 01:18:04 Speaker 3: So I guess you could buy yourself like an expensive piece of jewelry. 01:18:11 Speaker 2: Oh that's nice. 01:18:12 Speaker 3: I'm sure he would like to know that that's happening, or you could buy I wonder if he has multiple I don't know if this is a monogamous sugar Daddy situation, or if he. 01:18:24 Speaker 2: Has sugar daddy of six. 01:18:27 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a sugar daddy of six, sugar father, a sugar father. You know, he has to put food on the table. There's six beautiful women. 01:18:38 Speaker 2: Who all. 01:18:40 Speaker 3: Eat a bag. 01:18:41 Speaker 2: I have six beautiful twenty two year olds who depend on me. 01:18:45 Speaker 3: Oh my girls, my girls, My girls need me. Yeah, I'm like, would you get a Okay, he loves spending money on young women, but it is his money. It is is a brain puzzle because I'm like, maybe she could give him some money to spend on another sugar baby, but I don't know if that's the point. Maybe this is a one on one sugar daddy relationship and this is an saft. This is a logic problem. It's his money. So maybe you have to give him something that money can't buy. 01:19:23 Speaker 2: Oh see, but I think that's gonna make him mad. He's gonna be so mad that his money is a fucking craft you make this. 01:19:33 Speaker 3: But then you know, maybe he has a community of sugar daddy is that he can like bring. Okay, yeah, my sugar baby made me this friendship bracelet. She made me this mug. 01:19:43 Speaker 2: That might be kind of nice, right, Right, So maybe that's a and maybe there are relationships getting boring. It's a little like, yeah, I know you're spending your money on me, you love doing it. I'm bringing in a free element. I made this with crap I found around the house. It's a picture of us. 01:20:03 Speaker 3: To show my appreciation. I made you a macaroni frame right us right at noboo. I can only assume yeah, I mean, okay, okay, if he is, if he is just giving. If it is, maybe I'll just show him something nice. Maybe you buy a trip. It depends on how much money he's giving you. Right, But if you buy a trip for the two of you to take on together, right, well, that feels like something he should be doing, right, that's what he loves. Okay, So maybe you can get him like a gift from the airport. 01:20:42 Speaker 2: Maybe something that would make him happy, which would be free for her. Is to get really demanding, even more demanding and screaming and wanting, you know, even more than she already may be. Yeah, because he wants to give give me more money, right to start making demands threats. Maybe there aren't enough threats in the relationship. Yes, I'll leave give me money where I walk I'll tell your wife. 01:21:04 Speaker 3: I'll tell your wife. 01:21:05 Speaker 2: I'll crash your car. 01:21:07 Speaker 3: I'll crash your car. I'll twist your watch up, I'll. 01:21:13 Speaker 2: I'll break glass in the pool. Yeah. Oh, that's a tough one. That that's a tough one. 01:21:18 Speaker 3: That's a good threat. 01:21:19 Speaker 2: It's a big threat that you can do to a sugar dead. 01:21:21 Speaker 3: It could be a big problem for him, Yes, big problem, huge. 01:21:25 Speaker 2: And it's going to cost him a lot. 01:21:27 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, is there a night? I assume I assume the appeal of having a sugar baby is like I'm stepping out on the town. I'm fifty eight, she's twenty two. Here we go, look at me. I'm here, I am you know, so sort of arriving, sort of like he's a This is his version of being a debutante. 01:21:46 Speaker 2: Totally. 01:21:47 Speaker 3: So maybe it's like a concert or something that he might enjoy that other men might be around so that he can go, look at me, look at this. Can you believe this? What a what a gal? 01:21:58 Speaker 2: A trip to the sphere? 01:22:00 Speaker 3: A trip to the sphere, A trip to the sphere, A trip to the sphere for some uh for sugar Daddy, doctor fit, grateful Dead. 01:22:13 Speaker 2: Fifty eight somewhere around there, probably leaning fish at this point. 01:22:16 Speaker 3: Fish sugar Daddy's love Sugar Daddy, I assume, I assume. 01:22:25 Speaker 2: Take him to the sphere, or if he's got the bucks and the access, take him to the Beta Sphere. Yeah, a private even at the spere. What could be better? 01:22:35 Speaker 3: A private evening at the Beta Sphere with my sugar daddy and his six beautiful sugar babies. Why, sugar sisters, if you will, I think. 01:22:53 Speaker 2: We answered the question perfectly. I think so, don't write back in and go enjoy the Beta Sphere and your sugar daddy. They're probably listening to the podcast now out on a boat. Yeah, he's wondering, what is this? What is all this? We're turning to a podcast for for help. 01:23:09 Speaker 3: You keep me young, is what he's saying. Gen Z, Oh, gen Z, you kids, you kids today. 01:23:18 Speaker 2: Well, we answered the question perfectly. I now have my tool. 01:23:22 Speaker 3: This is a tool. Yes, it's a tool for sleeping. It's a tool for. 01:23:26 Speaker 2: Whimsy, whimsy, it's a tool to sell cars. 01:23:30 Speaker 3: Yes, you can sell tiny cars with it. You could create a whole little car dealership. Oh, if anyone never gives you hot wheels, you can have all if. 01:23:39 Speaker 2: This was like a path towards something that's wrong with me. I've had such a wonderful time, Kylie time. 01:23:47 Speaker 3: I'm sorry for disobeying you. 01:23:48 Speaker 2: Thank you.
