1

13
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: I've already lost everyone. I'm reporting live from a new haircut,

14
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: so I'm just all over the place. What else is happening.

15
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: We're not going to get into what the other things

16
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: I've seen today. Let's get into the podcast. Today's guest

17
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: is absolutely incredible. It's Ali Machy Ali. Welcome to. I said,

18
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: no gifts.

19
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: Hello, thank you for saying my name right.

20
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: What do people usually do? Mackie Mackie, Mackie feels so

21
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: feels very Midwest?

22
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: Thank you?

23
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 4: Yes, you're right about that. I would also think Mackie

24
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 4: would be m A c K.

25
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 3: Right.

26
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's or like rhyming with tacky. The Midwest isn't tacky,

27
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: but saying Mackie does sound a little tacky.

28
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 4: I mean everyone says MACKI, So the fact that you

29
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: said maki you already get a.

30
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: Gold star as not a fun vowel ah ah.

31
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel great.

32
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: Right and weirdly though, I frequently do go with an app,

33
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: like I say Nevada, I say Colorado. Uh right, But

34
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: I feel like the smart default when you don't know

35
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: how to pronounce a word is go with the The

36
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: other one sounds certainly classier. Oh yes, mocky, yeah exactly.

37
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 2: That's like when someone says Halloween. You know they're really

38
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: coming from a fancy place.

39
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 4: You're right about that, You are correct, you seem very fancy.

40
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: Ah. Well, I'm glad I've tricked somebody, finally fooled someone. No,

41
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: I'm not, I'm trash. I'm essentially trash.

42
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: How dare you?

43
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 4: You can't just call yourself trash? You know the cover

44
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 4: photo of your Spotify.

45
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: You know of the podcast.

46
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: You look so fancy, like I would want to have

47
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: drinks with you.

48
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: In a in an old timy mansion.

49
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it wonderful.

50
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: Okay, let's do it.

51
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll put it on the calendar. I have

52
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: to find a mansion, but I mean that can be done.

53
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: But like old timing, maybe an escape.

54
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: Room and having a drink in an escape room that

55
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: feels dangerous.

56
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. It's so fun.

57
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: It feels like that should happen in an escape room

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: bar where you're getting progressively more drunk and it becomes

59
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: more difficult.

60
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 3: Yes, why is anyone on this?

61
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean this podcast, the ideas that

62
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: come out of this, Like if listeners are taking advantage,

63
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: they're making a lot of money off of my business concept.

64
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 3: That's true.

65
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 4: You probably have a lot of great business concept. I

66
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 4: can feel that in you.

67
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: I try to plant these seeds and then when someone

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: takes them, I immediately launch into a lawsuit, so I

69
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: don't have to do the work, but I get the money.

70
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: You know, it's like ip theft. Essentrally, you're a businessman.

71
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: I respect it.

72
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: That's something everybody knows about me. How's life? What's the new?

73
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: It's eighty nine degrees ninety degrees right now?

74
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: It's hot, and I am or I already run hot

75
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 4: as a person, So even just the faintest sunlight and

76
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 4: I'm going to be balmy and a little bit anxious.

77
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: So I carry around I'm drinking. I'm a big beverage person. Okay,

78
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: So I have my ice water here that you've so

79
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: kindly brought me. And people are always confused about this.

80
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: I want to talk about this. I've never tried this string.

81
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: It's called Zva or maybe it's Xeviah. I don't you know.

82
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: We want to go fancy. It's a zero calorie soda,

83
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: all right, So because I'm addicted to diet.

84
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: Coke, Oh my god, you're talking to the right person. Really,

85
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: I've I've I have cancer. I'm gonna. I mean, it's

86
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: it's coming for me.

87
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: But I watched this documentary. Is Aspartame really bad? Or

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: is it a myth?

89
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: I mean it does seem like a myth. But I

90
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: even though that it's it's a myth. I've had enough

91
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: diet coke for it to be a problem. Anyway.

92
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 3: Oh me too. But with the lime, I'm sorry. With

93
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 3: a lemon, Oh you like a lemon?

94
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: I like a lime, although I think it's placebo what

95
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: do you mean? I mean, I don't think limes and

96
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: lemons have that big of a taste.

97
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: Difference, really, right, are you sure taste buds are working.

98
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: I think it's a very different tastes.

99
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: They're kind of interchangeable.

100
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 4: Well, they're definitely both citrus, that's for sure, right, But

101
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 4: lemon feels more bright, interesting, and lime feels like that

102
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: it's like dark enemy or something.

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: You're describing colors out, Yeah, exactly.

104
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm talking about.

105
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: I would say limes are a fruitier if I were

106
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: to say it's the taste wise, like if there was a.

107
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: Taste, okay, okay, And obviously I'm preferring a lime in

108
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: the drink. You love lime, you love a lemon. But

109
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 4: back to cia.

110
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: Zeba, this was to help combat my diet coke. Like,

111
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: what's funny is I.

112
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: Do all these you know, we're all doing all this

113
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: stuff on zoom And a couple of times people have said,

114
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 4: are you drinking a beer because it's in this blue can.

115
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 4: It looks like I'm drinking like a michelob ultra or something,

116
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 4: and I was like, no, I'm not.

117
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: I'm not just drinking my way through this business. Meeting.

118
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: I think if you're on zoom, you're absolutely allowed to

119
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: just get hammered. I agree you should. You should start

120
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 2: the meeting at least medium drunk.

121
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think most people that are

122
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: having the.

123
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: Mug oh yeah, there's some something swishing around in those mugs.

124
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: Definitely.

125
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: What's the flavor of the Zvia blue confuses me? I can't.

126
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: I could never tell you. I would say, like vanilla.

127
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 4: Well, they do have all kinds of flavors, but this

128
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: is just cola cola, It's just cola, and it's it's fine.

129
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 3: Here we go, you know, it's totally fine.

130
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 2: What's the difference between that and diet coke? Like, why

131
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 2: would you take this over a diet coke?

132
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 4: Well, this has Stevias aspartame, and are there any Coke

133
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 4: products with Stevia?

134
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: I feel like there was something to work for Coke now,

135
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 2: and this is a pepsi podcast, so we're gonna blur

136
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: or you know, I guess the audio version of blurring

137
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 2: out the word coke every time you say.

138
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: No.

139
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: I feel like Coke did try Stevia at one point

140
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: and it must have been too expense for them or something.

141
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: On a lisas nodding their head.

142
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 3: Yes, it was Coca Cola Life. It had the green table. Yeah,

143
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: and it was made.

144
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: With cevia and some sugar like fact, oh, interesting, it

145
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 4: was a mix.

146
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: It was a blend.

147
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: See. So that's the problem because people when they drink

148
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: a diet soda do not want a single calorie. So

149
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: when there are some calories like, well, why am I right?

150
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: I'll just have the real or the diet exactly. Middle

151
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: ground doesn't exist for diet.

152
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: So well, there's no gray area when we're talking about soda.

153
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: And calling it life. I mean, it's it's like, what

154
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: does this say about the rest of your beverage line?

155
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: It's not right? I do you call soda soda or pop?

156
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: This is this is actually well I'm going to say

157
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: this is interesting and people are gonna be like, that's

158
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: deeply uninteresting. But this is what I'm from Utah. From

159
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: when I was a kid until I was probably fourteen,

160
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: everyone said pop and then there was kind of a

161
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: shift to soda. People started saying soda. I don't know

162
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: if it was the Internet influencing people or want and

163
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: people probably still say pop there, but you hear soda

164
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: a lot more often. What do you say, well, I.

165
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 4: You just said something that made me think is exactly

166
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: the same, because I do remember.

167
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: I think this is why.

168
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: I'm having a crisis about it, because when people ask

169
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: me that, I'm like, well, I could have sworn at

170
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 4: one point I was only saying pop and then it

171
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: moved over to soda.

172
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: So maybe it was just this whole right.

173
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: There must have been some like.

174
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: Pop shitt in the culture, right, Yeah.

175
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: Somebody wanted all of us saying soda because when you say,

176
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 2: when I say pop, now, I feel very small town.

177
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 4: Yes, I am like Riverdale. It's giving Riverdale, right.

178
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: They're a white fences. Although Riverdale, I've recently heard they

179
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: all have superpowers or something, so I don't know that

180
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: that's oh do they? I mean this is the rumor mill.

181
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: I don't know that it's a rumor mill. I think

182
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: it's a fact that someone told me that.

183
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 4: So confused because that would mean like Juughhead and Archie,

184
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 4: they all have powers.

185
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: I guess, unexplainable.

186
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: I don't like this.

187
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: I don't like it's well to me that it feels

188
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: like that show has now been going for about forty years,

189
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: but I think it's started in probably twenty seventeen. Really, well,

190
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: you're asking.

191
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: You would know better than me. I think I don't

192
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: know why.

193
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that I've ever seen an episode.

194
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: I've seen little clips, and I just I picture Neon.

195
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: I picture hot teens, although they're obviously played by thirty

196
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: five year olds. Yes, and they're in various dramas, and

197
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: I apparently know superpowers.

198
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 4: You know, when I was fifteen or sixteen, well the

199
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 4: tween to young adult, it was my dream to be

200
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: in a CW. I think it was everyone's dream at

201
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: that time if you were kind of auditioning, was to

202
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 4: be on a CW show.

203
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: Is there a CW show you would have loved to

204
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 2: be on.

205
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think, Oh, well, probably The Vampire Diaries.

206
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, or sure, that feels sexy and exciting.

207
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: It was very exciting.

208
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 4: I auditioned for one of the main characters. I don't

209
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: remember or which one. I was very sad, you know,

210
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 4: all all that stuff, and then they kept bringing me

211
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 4: back for other roles, and I was like, one day

212
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: I'll be a vampire.

213
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: And then they never cast me.

214
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 2: A shame. They're lost. You're right, there's a reason that

215
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: show is not on the air anymore. If it's not

216
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: on the air anymore, I assume it's not on the

217
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: air anymore.

218
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

219
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 4: If it was still in the air, that would be incredible,

220
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 4: that would be amazing.

221
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: But it was kind of a soap opera, right, And

222
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: I feel like soap operas have legs for days because

223
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: you know, they they just they can do whatever they

224
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 2: want with the storyline. Nobody cares. Right now, this wild

225
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: thing's happening and this person. Yeah, like we've got a

226
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: whole new person. But what I have to.

227
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: Say about soap opera actors is I have such respect

228
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: because I've heard.

229
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: That, like if you're on days of your days of

230
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: your lives, days.

231
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: Of our lives, that might be the sequel days of

232
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 2: your life. It's kind of an interactive series.

233
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can choose the way you want the people

234
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: to go. I've heard that.

235
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 4: I've heard I have no you know idea this is

236
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 4: true or not that you go and you have to

237
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 4: do you have.

238
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: To learn like forty pages a day or something like that.

239
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: Because it's basically you're doing a live play, right that

240
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: hasn't been done until that day, Right, So.

241
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 4: Maybe I should go do it just to get better

242
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 4: at memorization.

243
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: Oh, that would crush me totally. That is so much memorization,

244
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 2: so much, and then to be immediately performing it in

245
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: front of a camera, right, I mean, I'm not going

246
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: to say anything else about soap opera.

247
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: That's for your other soap opera podcasts. You're rewatching.

248
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: Tune into my soap Opera Patreon. It's fifty dollars a

249
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: month and I talk NonStop soaps. No I called Days

250
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: of your Life. That's actually good. Maybe I'm going to

251
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: look into that. That could be a big money maker

252
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: for me. If you're I'm looking for a co host.

253
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: If you have any interest, I'm in. How did we

254
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: get to Oh, so you've been acting for quite a

255
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: while then, yeah, as you were a kid.

256
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 4: Yes, I grew up in Seattle and I started doing

257
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: musical theater when I was six or seven years old.

258
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, it was your first musical.

259
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 4: It was called Them. I just know it right away.

260
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: The magical Story Circus. This is up my alley, and

261
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: I played a circus troop member.

262
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: But this was okay.

263
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: This is actually a whole traumatic thing for me because

264
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,599
Speaker 4: I was actually cast as one of the lead roles okay,

265
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 4: which was very you know exciting. Is my first time

266
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 4: ever doing this, and you know, who would have thought

267
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 4: because I was very shy.

268
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 3: So my mom was like, what how did you get

269
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: the lead role? This is so exciting? And the lead

270
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: role they didn't have a name. It was just Asian princess.

271
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 2: That was the lead role was Asian Princess. Yeah.

272
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a lot of thought put into this

273
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: show totally. And there was also the Asian Prince.

274
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 4: Okay, so I you know, I'm like six or seven,

275
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 4: I don't want to say, I don't know exactly six

276
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 4: between six and seven, and you had to kiss.

277
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: The Asian princess had to kiss the Asian Prince?

278
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: Oh what is? And I was like, who is behind

279
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: this play?

280
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: What feels wrong? Right?

281
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: And so I remember just being there at the you know, rehearsal,

282
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 4: and I just was like, I'm in this, you know,

283
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 4: Asian garb.

284
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 3: It wasn't really any sort of actual like a catch.

285
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just.

286
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 4: Like let's put something together, right, And then I'm with

287
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: the Asian Prince was.

288
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: Not Asian.

289
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: A white guy?

290
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 3: It definitely, yes, it did. And how do they explain that?

291
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 4: Right? I mean, this is a long time ago, but

292
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 4: still something in my six year old brain was like,

293
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 4: this doesn't feel right for so many reasons that I'll

294
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 4: never be able to explain until maybe I'm thirty five

295
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 4: years old, so now I have such clarity on it.

296
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: But I actually stood up for myself and I was like,

297
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 4: I'm not kissing the Prince, I'm not wearing this, and

298
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 4: I quit the role. And you know it was it

299
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 4: was devastating to the family when I tell you the

300
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 4: thirty years of remember when you quit the league plan

301
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 4: and it's only been the last couple of years where

302
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know what, I stand behind.

303
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 2: I totally support you. So did you end up being

304
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: something else in the show?

305
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 3: Yeah? I was the Circus Troop member.

306
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: Oh, Circus Troop member.

307
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: That's I was so happy just being in the back.

308
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 4: It was funny, is there's this picture of me and

309
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 4: and you know, you have to be kind of a

310
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 4: utility player, different costumes. Sometimes you have to move the

311
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: set around, and I in this that scene where they kissed,

312
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: I had to be a water buffalo. So I was

313
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 4: behind with a little water buffalo and just watching these

314
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 4: two people because they had the TA fill in last

315
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 4: minute because it was.

00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 3: So last minute.

317
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: Wow, you've dropped out that la.

318
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 4: It was sort of right before we were gonna go up,

00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 4: which is my bad. You know, I'm so sorry. I

320
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 4: should have said it earlier. But I'm just behind them

321
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 4: in my water buffalo costume and you have these two

322
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 4: people on stage in Asian garbage right kissing.

323
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 2: And was the ta a white girl.

324
00:14:54,680 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 4: Yes, it's very interesting and new on story with many layers.

325
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: Yes, were you singing and dancing? What was the water

326
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: buffalo doing? Oh, the water buffalo was chewing.

327
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, like the kind of like space work kind of

328
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 4: chew like pretend the grass, you know, all this stuff.

329
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 4: I loved it because I got to wear, you know,

330
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 4: all different costumes and dance and be in the background.

331
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: And I was super happy me in the background.

332
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: And then like, where did you go from there?

333
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, how much time do you have?

334
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: This is a nine hour podcast?

335
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 4: Oh no, Well after that, so then I started doing

336
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 4: a bunch of stuff in the Seattle area. And there

337
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 4: was this woman going around at the time when I

338
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 4: this is now when I'm thirteen almost fourteen, and she

339
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 4: was a manager and she would go around all you know,

340
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 4: this is very much that John Robert Powers era, you know,

341
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 4: the modeling.

342
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: School, right discovered.

343
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 4: Exactly very common to have these kind of workshops be

344
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 4: a star kind of thing. And so there was a

345
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 4: manager and my friend told us about my friend told

346
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 4: my mom about it.

347
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: Try to take this acting class. So I enrolled in

348
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: this acting class.

349
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 4: And then the manager was like, you're it, you know

350
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 4: which I'm sure said to everyone, come out to my

351
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 4: acting boot camp in California in Hollywood, and it was

352
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 4: supposed to be like a summer camp experience. And I

353
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 4: was like, I'm going. I'm going. There's no stopping me.

354
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 4: And so I went and then I am still here.

355
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: Wow.

356
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: I never went back home and did your.

357
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: Mom come out with you or anything? Oh this feels

358
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: like something from the eighteen hundredths.

359
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 4: Well it's very early two thousands, don't you think.

360
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there was kind of a just not realizing

361
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: what the world.

362
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: Was, Oh totally.

363
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 4: I mean, so I lived in this condo farm or

364
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 4: barn basically. I mean we lived in a condo in

365
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: Santa Clarita, which you know, was not right what we

366
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 4: thought it was going to be, like come to Hollywood.

367
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 4: It was like this condo in Santa Clorica. No shade

368
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 4: to Santa Clorida. I mean it's just very far away

369
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 4: from anything. And yeah, and I stayed in this condo

370
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: with all these other kids for a bunch of fears.

371
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: Who was watching over you?

372
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean she lived there.

373
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: Okay, she lived there.

374
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 3: She lived there.

375
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: Wow.

376
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: She also loved diet coke. Maybe that's where Yeah.

377
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: Wow, that's so. How long were you in the condo

378
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: before you moved out of the condo?

379
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: So I would say until I was like maybe like

380
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 4: three or four years. This is like kind of hazy,

381
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 4: But eventually my mom did move out here. Okay, she

382
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 4: got a teaching job and then right and we stayed

383
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 4: in Valencia and I went to high school there.

384
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 2: Wow, that's incredible. I mean that's almost all of her twist.

385
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: It's very Deckenzian, just a bunch of essential orphans in

386
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: one space with this leader. Yes, she didn't have you stealing,

387
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: did she? Nothing like that.

388
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: No, no stealing.

389
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 4: But you know, it was very interesting the way it

390
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: all was, like there'd be other moms and then the

391
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 4: older kids would drive around the younger kids, and you know,

392
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 4: it was a whole web.

393
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 2: Wow.

394
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

395
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: And was there a point where you're like, oh, this

396
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 2: is gonna work, this is actually working out for me.

397
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 3: Oh from day one, I was like I'm committed.

398
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 4: To this, you know, I because I think I was

399
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 4: so naive.

400
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 3: And then when I walked into the house, I was like, Okay.

401
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 4: I had a moment where I was like, this doesn't

402
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 4: feel right again, you know my little.

403
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: Intuition right, right, maybe this isn't right.

404
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 4: And I remember she immediately said like, well, this is

405
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 4: what it's like to be a grown up.

406
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 3: So wow, get you. And so in my mind I

407
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 3: was like, oh, this would have liked to be a

408
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: grown up. This would like to be a grown up.

409
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: And that kind of just carried me through. And when

410
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: you're a kid, you want to be a grown up.

411
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: So right, I was like, she was my big chance.

412
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: Yeah this makes sense.

413
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember walking through malls in like the nineties

414
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: early thousands, thinking maybe you'll be discovered, maybe there will

415
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: be somebody here. If I was in the middle of Utah,

416
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 2: what what could have possibly happened? But that did like

417
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: a big trap during that period, just people floating around

418
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: malls looking for the.

419
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: Youth, right, and they want to give us your money.

420
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 4: We'll take pictures of you.

421
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 3: What it's all.

422
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 4: It was definitely a cultural moment in time right.

423
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: That I think we hopefully have moved past. But you'll

424
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: never know. You never know. There are some stage parents

425
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 2: out there that will do whatever it takes get their

426
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: kids on television. That kind of thing.

427
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 4: I'm going to come back in a year and you're

428
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 4: gonna have a whole acting boot camps.

429
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: Of teens running everywhere or getting their head shots and

430
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: putting people on tape. Oh gosh, that's my way out

431
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: of this business. I mean, I guess my way slightly

432
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: to the side of this business is what it would be. Well,

433
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: you never know, Bridgers boot Camp coming twenty twenty four.

434
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 3: I would sign up.

435
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: I'm looking for starlits, I'm looking for stars whatever. I'll

436
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 2: take whatever open call. I mean, look, I feel like

437
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: we've been dancing around this long enough. This podcast is

438
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: called I said no gifts. You came today. I was

439
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 2: very excited to have you here. You know, it was hot,

440
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: but I thought we'll have a nice time anyway, it'll

441
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: be a nice day in the backyard. And then I

442
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 2: spot you on my porch holding a pink gift bag. Ali,

443
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 2: clearly this is a gift for me, what could you

444
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: possibly have been thinking?

445
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 4: Well, I have to just say something in that. I

446
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: it's not just specific to you. Oh, interesting, it's thoughtless

447
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: pretty much. It's more of a stress thing and a

448
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 4: people pleasing thing because I was taught in my family

449
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 4: like you do not show up empty handed.

450
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 3: Oh, it's actually very bad.

451
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 4: I mean, and even just culturally in Japan, it's actually

452
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 4: very important the gift giving process.

453
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: So if you actually don't accept this, then I would

454
00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: it would be very offensive.

455
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 2: Actually, well, I'm not above being completely rude. So well,

456
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 2: I'll have to see what happens here. Oh, we've got

457
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: a helicopter overhead. They're excited about the gift. Everyone's excited

458
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: about this.

459
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: Big you're flying over your property. Try to see what

460
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 3: it is.

461
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 2: This is kind of a Madonna's wedding situation. Should I

462
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: open it here on the podcast?

463
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 3: Well, I would just be so sad if you didn't.

464
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: I don't want you walking away in tears. We'll get

465
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: into it. It's a cute little pink bang.

466
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 4: I just have to say really quick that I spent

467
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 4: a lot of time on this, like, no, truly, because

468
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 4: I'm sort of a crafts woman.

469
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I love doing crafts.

470
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 4: Okay, so it's it's one of my crafts in creations.

471
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 2: Are you kind of an all? I mean, should I

472
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,640

479
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: a craft thing. So but as I'm touching it almost

480
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 2: feels like an avocado. I'm gonna pull it at Oh,

481
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: it is an avocado with a little dog head taped

00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 4: Jesse?

487
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: Oh?

488
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: This is so cute. And now I don't know that

489
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 2: it's taped or glued. Is it glued?

490
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: Oh it's a sticker.

491
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: Oh it's a sticker.

492
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: What?

493
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Well then I don't even know where to begin here.

494
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about the dog. First of all,

495
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 2: his name's Jesse. What kind of dog is he? To me?

496
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 2: Looks kind of like a terrier or something.

497
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 3: He's a Tibetan terrier.

498
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 2: Wow, good for me, A good job.

499
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 4: Now he is a Tibetan terrier and his job, you

500
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 4: know where his lineage came from, is that he would

501
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 4: guard the temples for the monks.

502
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, this is a small dog. No, no, they're

503
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 2: not small.

504
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 3: Well he's thirty pounds.

505
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: Oh so he's a medium size. He's medium, but I

506
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 2: feel like you would want to breed a slightly larger

507
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: animal for guardianship.

508
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 4: No, because this is his superpower. He barks and you're scared.

509
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 4: But then he's quiet and he just watches and he

510
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 4: makes sure everyone's good.

511
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: What does he bark at anything?

512
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: Everything?

513
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 4: You know, anyone that walks by. Okay, we have this

514
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 4: sweet like Grandma and Grandpa to live by us, and

515
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 4: he goes crazy on them, you know.

516
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 3: But he is an angel. He is a prince.

517
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 4: He is incredible, And I'm trying to make this whole

518
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 4: thing work where we don't have pet rocks anymore.

519
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 3: But it's your pet avocado.

520
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: Yes, I think that's very nice until you're cutting into

521
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: it and making it dinner.

522
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, you just have to preserve it.

523
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 3: Put in the freezer.

524
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: Oh, interesting, in the freezer.

525
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 4: And see, this is one of those things where now

526
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 4: I can come back and check on it and make

527
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 4: sure that you have not let the pet avocado die.

528
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 2: You have now trapped me into freezing an avocado. There's

529
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: nothing I can do at this point.

530
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 3: We have a child together.

531
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 2: Now. I always wanted to be a dad. It finally

532
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 2: came to me. Okay, and avocados do keep in the

533
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: freezer for a while. I think that's exactly right. So

534
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: I was going to make some sort of toast or

535
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: guakam oly.

536
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 3: But out of your pet avocado, you must name it.

537
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: Well, but it's got Jesse on it.

538
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: Right, Well, so what do I do? He's sort of

539
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 3: like the ethos of it.

540
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 4: You know, it's like his his vibe is that it But.

541
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 3: You your Ethanan?

542
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: This is my pet Ethan? Because that that feels good.

543
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: That's classy, it's timeless.

544
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 3: Why did you go with that name?

545
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: It just popped in my head. It felt like an

546
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 2: Ethan to me. Wow, what can I say?

547
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 3: That's so cool?

548
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: That was Jesse j E S s E or Ice

549
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 2: j E S. S. The male. My brother is named

550
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: Jesse with an E.

551
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 3: But Jesse as a as a girl is real cute.

552
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 2: Too, Yes, but it doesn't. Don't girls usually have an

553
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 2: I E.

554
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 3: True. I was thinking of Jesse and toy story. Yeah,

555
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: it's I E right.

556
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: I like the I E yeah something. I mean you

557
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: say the cowgirl and there is kind of a lasso

558
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: quality to it. There's like a interesting I don't know,

559
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: there's something very old fashioned cowboy boots about I E.

560
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh, put cowboy boots on ething.

561
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 2: So you're causing a lot of problems. You're giving me

562
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 2: all of these tasks to do, I know, and I'm

563
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: not going to not be able to do them. Where

564
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: do I find a small pair of cowboy boots anywhere?

565
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: You could literally go to build a bear right now

566
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 4: and create a whole thing, and then you could turn

567
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 4: Ethan into an influencer and create an Instagram.

568
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: I'm telling you people would love it.

569
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: Does build a Bear sell individual accessories or do you

570
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 2: have to go whole hog and get the toy.

571
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

572
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I asked a lot of interesting questions on this pod.

573
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: I feel like they must write because they get you

574
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: into the bear and then they want you to come

575
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: back to.

576
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 4: But that feels a bit gatekeepy if you come in

577
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 4: and they're like, do you already own a bear?

578
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 3: Oh, that's interesting, right, Like if you.

579
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 4: Don't own a bear, you can't buy the socks or whatever. Right,

580
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: wouldn't they just want any business? Yes, any They'll take

581
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 4: any dime they can get. The struggling really struggling as

582
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 4: a business. Yeah, I have to assume they sell all

583
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: the accessories on the side.

584
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. I've never been well, I bet i've

585
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: been in one before. I had a coworker at a

586
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 2: bakery once. She and her husband were they must have

587
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 2: been mid to late thirties, and they were very dedicated

588
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: to build a bear culture. It was startling.

589
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: Tell me more.

590
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: I mean their home was full of stuffed creatures. They

591
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 2: were their their children until they had a child.

592
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 3: Wait, they were their children.

593
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 2: They treated these things like children. The build a bear,

594
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: the build of bears. They were very into it was.

595
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 2: I think they had every one of these things.

596
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 4: They were all actual build of bears. I think they

597
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 4: owned every type of build a bear.

598
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 2: Right. I can't imagine how many they've got or especially

599
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: at the time, but then they had of course other

600
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is in the community. Is

601
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 2: its stuffed or plush? And I think they probably call

602
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: them plush toys, right, I would call them stuffed animals.

603
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say stuff.

604
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 4: But their home, I believe, was just filled with these things.

605
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 4: And wait, how have you heard of Zillow Gone Wild?

606
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 3: No, this is my new thing.

607
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean I immediately have an idea in my head,

608
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: but going on, it's an.

609
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 3: Instagram account where they do real Zillow listing.

610
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: Oh I love this sort of thing.

611
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 4: And there was this one that was so frightening. There

612
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 4: was just dolls everywhere, like porcelain dolls, and then there

613
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 4: was like a rocking chair in the middle of the

614
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 4: room with a like a sort of a clown sort

615
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 4: of thing on it, like it was riding the thing.

616
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 4: And there was just dolls all sorts all over the house.

617
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: And the rocking chair was just kind of in the room, unmoored.

618
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 4: It was like placed in the middle of the room

619
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 4: like sort of as when you walk in, that would

620
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 4: be the centerpiece of.

621
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: Very unsettling, even beyond all of the dolls. If I

622
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: walk into a room that just has a rocking chair

623
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: directly in the middle of it, I don't know what

624
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: I would do. It's got to be close to something.

625
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 3: It has to be in a corner.

626
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 2: Right. Otherwise it's a little like I don't even know.

627
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: You're there entirely by yourself. No one ever else enters

628
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: the room. You're just kind of rocking looking at the wall.

629
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: Right. Yes, it's very scary movie.

630
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: Right. And did this feel like they were trying to

631
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 2: make it intentionally scary or this person was a scary person?

632
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 4: That is just what I wonder every day. I think

633
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 4: about it all day and all night of kind of

634
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 4: if this was a strategy or if it was just

635
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 4: sort of like, yeah, take the pictures were on vac

636
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 4: you know what.

637
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: That person's not on a vacation. That person doesn't leave

638
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: the house.

639
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: What do you mean maybe they got to go find

640
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: more dolls.

641
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 2: Oh, that's true, they're on a well they call that

642
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: a doll hunt.

643
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 3: That's not a vacation, right, that's true.

644
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: That's all safari or not.

645
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: All of the dolls are located in you know the valley.

646
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: Wow? And that was that a California residence?

647
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 3: I actually don't know.

648
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: Interesting. I mean, it is an interesting strategy to just

649
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: go full freak in the Zillow thing because a lot

650
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: of people aren't going to buy the house. But there

651
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: will be one special person who will pay even more.

652
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: Well, maybe they.

653
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 4: Just you know, because I think selling a home is

654
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 4: sort of bittersweet, right, because you're you've made all these

655
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 4: memories there and you want hopefully the next person to

656
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: take did you create more memories there?

657
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: Right?

658
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 3: So maybe they're just.

659
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 4: Like, we want to find someone that has the same

660
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 4: kind of interests as we do, so we know they

661
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 4: will take care of the property.

662
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah, I guess it's a strategy. It

663
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: probably takes ten times as long.

664
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 3: But in the end, quality over quantity, right.

665
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: Quality over quantity. You don't want a lot of people

666
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: bidding on your home. That's a first rule of real estate.

667
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: You don't want a lot of interest in all.

668
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: Oh never, you want.

669
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 2: One scary person approaching and offering to pay in cash.

670
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: Actually that's not a bad thing.

671
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 4: But that's I mean, you know they got money, that's fine.

672
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 3: If they love the dolls. I wonder if they know

673
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 3: they're taking all the dolls with them, right.

674
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, that's a good question.

675
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 3: Are they're in the photo when you get to keep them?

676
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: Right? It's false advertising on their wise. Yeah, when I

677
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: put the bid in, i'd say all dolls are nothing, right,

678
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: That is like a contingency, right, that sort of house,

679
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: and I think like renting an apartment or buying a

680
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 2: house or anything, when they have horrible pictures, it is

681
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: a good I mean, it's excellent for the renter or

682
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: the buyer because nobody wants those things. They look terrible

683
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: in the pictures. Then you go and it's like, oh,

684
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: this person's just bad at photographing or didn't quite know

685
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: what they were doing, and you get a good deal.

686
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 3: Well, I agreed, it's all about the pictures.

687
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: It's all about that.

688
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 4: I actually thought that I would, as you know, as

689
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 4: a side gig, that I could be so good at

690
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 4: taking the home photos.

691
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's stopping staging?

692
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 4: Oh, so much fun it would be. I mean I

693
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 4: would be bad at it, but it would be fun.

694
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 4: I feel like you'd be great at it.

695
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: It feels like weirdly low pressure because you don't you

696
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: have a little budget to work with the stage. Yes,

697
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 2: and you don't have to live with it, so you

698
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: can kind of experiment and do new things, and that

699
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: could be fun. It's like a giant dollhouse exactly. Well,

700
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: I mean I feel like that's a career opportunity for

701
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 2: you maybe. I mean it's you can just have a

702
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: you know, that could be like your fun job outside

703
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: of hector.

704
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 3: I love a fun job.

705
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: Back to crafting, I mean, oh dear, what sort of

706
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: crafting are you doing in your free time?

707
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 4: I really actually am not good at crafting at all.

708
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: Just starting off with a huge lot.

709
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I wanted you to think this gift

710
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 4: is really special, because it is.

711
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: It is special. It is certainly special.

712
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 4: I went to the market, I picked out the perfect avocado.

713
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: Let me, let's see. Yeah it's not uh like, in

714
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: two days it'll be ripe, but it will never be

715
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 2: right because it's going in the freezer.

716
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 3: Thank you exactly. I wanted you to put on a

717
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 3: little stand I've got.

718
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 2: I'm a stunt. Its growth and uh.

719
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah crafts. I like puzzles. Is that a craft?

720
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely not a crap. I just completed a real journey

721
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: with a puzzle from this podcast. It took me fifteen

722
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: weeks to complete the puzzle. What was the picture of

723
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: horrible picture of all of the Republican presidents or quite

724
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 2: a few of them outside of the most recent horrible one.

725
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: He wasn't on there for some reason. But it was

726
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: me just completing this thing that I didn't want to

727
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 2: look at.

728
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 3: Wait, that was a gift from someone.

729
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a gift from Chris Thay or a

730
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: guest of I don't know at this point, twenty weeks

731
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: ago or something.

732
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: I listened to all of your episodes.

733
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: I know all of the so certainly you've heard yeah,

734
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: he I mean I was just kind of staring at Bush,

735
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: Senior and Junior, Nixon, all of them four weeks at

736
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: a time, and it was it was kind of my

737
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: first puzzle. It was a thousand pieces. It was your

738
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: first puzzle, yeah, basically outside of elementary school.

739
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

740
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: And it was I mean, it was weirdly satisfying. When

741
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: it started working, It's like, wow, I'm doing it. Yeah,

742
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: But I knew we were headed in a direction to

743
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: a picture I had no interest in keeping.

744
00:33:59,040 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: I know what.

745
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I appreciate your dedication to finishing it. So

746
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 4: what is your sort of strategy with puzzles? Do you

747
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 4: start with the out the corners?

748
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 2: Yes, I kind of use the strategy that I've just

749
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: heard through the years of doing the edges the border,

750
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: which was easy enough, and then separating into different color piles.

751
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: This one had a lot of like peach tones and

752
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 2: just solid black, which really became a challenge because it's

753
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: just like, I don't know where any of this goes.

754
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: They're all the exact same color, right, I mean literally

755
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 2: no textural difference or anything. It was just solid colors.

756
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 2: So but I separated into piles and then just dragged

757
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 2: myself through it for weeks and weeks and weeks.

758
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 3: How did you get anything done?

759
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 2: Because I don't have anything to do. My life's completely empty. Autoly.

760
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: This is vigorously nodding and flipping me off. Oh wow,

761
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: this is the abuse that happens on this podcast.

762
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 3: I do feel bad for you.

763
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: My producer is giving me the bird and telling me

764
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: my life is nothing. I mean, I'm sure you know.

765
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: When you're doing a puzzle, you start getting into it

766
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: and time slips away. Oh that is loose track of things.

767
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 3: That is how I got through the pandemic.

768
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: Of course, my boyfriend did a puzzle during the pandemic

769
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: of a picture we actually wanted of our dog. Oh

770
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 2: what yes, Oh yeah, of course, I mean we can

771
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 2: talk dogs. I'll take Oh my god, I want to

772
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: know what puzzles you were doing.

773
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 4: Well, I did a SpongeBob SquarePants one really tiny, so

774
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 4: many little creatures in that one.

775
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: Oh, very hard, very hard.

776
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 2: How many pieces?

777
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 3: I think a thousand?

778
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 2: Okay? Is that kind of like the average? Would you say,

779
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: for like a regular puzzle, you're looking at a thousand

780
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 2: or is it five hundred?

781
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 4: Well, I think a thousand is if you five hundred

782
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 4: is if you're like I want to feel like about

783
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 4: us today.

784
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 2: Oh, interesting, it's kind of a day long activity. Yeah.

785
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 4: And if you're just like I need anyone or just

786
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 4: a thing to tell me that I'm doing okay, right,

787
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 4: you know, because you could finish it. But the thousand

788
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 4: is sort of like, yeah, if you want to challenge yourself.

789
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: And okay, and how long on average would it take

790
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 2: you to complete a puzzle? I'm trying to see where

791
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 2: I stand with my It's gonna make me feel bad

792
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: no matter what you say.

793
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 3: Definitely faster than you.

794
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 4: If you're spending fifty did you say you're spending fifteen

795
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 4: hours a day?

796
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 2: No, fifteen weeks, fifteen weeks, and.

797
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 3: That's not great, not in the world of puzzles.

798
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 2: In my defense, it was a picture I had no

799
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: interest in looking at, but still.

800
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 4: Well, not really an excuse. You can't just choose what

801
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 4: you want to make.

802
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you're absolutely you can not in this scenario

803
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 2: given to me, and I was forced. I had a

804
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 2: gun to my head and I had to finish this puzzle.

805
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 3: Was your friend appreciative that you did the puzzle?

806
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 2: I think he was happy. I would send him updates

807
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 2: and he would shame me. But you know it was

808
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 2: a he kind of on the podcast said you have

809
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 2: to do this, and then there was like kind of

810
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 2: a call to arms to the listeners to demand I

811
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 2: do it. So, I mean there was literally nothing I

812
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 2: could do.

813
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 4: When you get all these gifts, do people kind of

814
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 4: require you to do things? Are they checking up on

815
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 4: the gifts? Like sort of like I'm just wanting for

816
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 4: my own kind of.

817
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: You will be I mean, let's be honest, You're going

818
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: to be calling me day and night. I'm definitely because

819
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna want to like wish it sweet dreams every night.

820
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 3: I'm the godmother.

821
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 4: Yes, I wouldn't just give this to you and then

822
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 4: if it died, I.

823
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: I would feel a great deal of guilt.

824
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 3: That would me.

825
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: Yes, No, I would feel nothing.

826
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 3: You would feel nothing. Oh my goodness.

827
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: You're talking to a psychopath. No, I'm gonna I'm going

828
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: to put this in the freezer and we'll figure out

829
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: what we do because the listener, of course, is going

830
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 2: to want to see this on Instagram.

831
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 3: I think they're kind and the progress right.

832
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 2: But to answer your question, most people don't check in.

833
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 2: On occasion, they will, but another helicopter that may be

834
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 2: they're checking in. Yeah, they've got a giant telescope or

835
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 2: binoculars they're looking at us. No, they don't check in.

836
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: They kind of just swing by the house, dump something

837
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 2: on me, and then I'm I have to live with

838
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:22,959
Speaker 2: it for the rest of my life.

839
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've really set yourself up here.

840
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 4: When you give a gift and it's a close friend,

841
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 4: are you someone that when you go back to their house,

842
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 4: are you like checking this interesting so there?

843
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 2: Or I don't. I wouldn't say that I'm I'm checking in,

844
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 2: but I would say I'm a noticer. I'm an observer.

845
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 2: I'm not actively looking because do whatever you want. But

846
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 2: if I observer notice that the item is never used, right,

847
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 2: I have to kind of assume they're either doing it

848
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: in private, which means they're embarrassed of whatever I gave them,

849
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: or they haven't used it, So how am I supposed

850
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 2: to feel?

851
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 3: Right? It doesn't feel good?

852
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 2: Do you are?

853
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: You?

854
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 2: Like? Why aren't you wearing the shirt I gave you?

855
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 3: I'm a noticer. I mean you know you already knew that.

856
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 2: I think what we're both trying to say is we're

857
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: deeply petty, and definitely we will seek revenge this kind

858
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: of thing. I mean, if somebody doesn't use the gift,

859
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 2: the next time I give them something, it's there's gonna

860
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: be a down grade. Oh yeah, it's like, no.

861
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 3: I get it because I'm an aunt. I'm an aunt.

862
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: How many kids?

863
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 3: Well three?

864
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,479
Speaker 4: One of them is twenty two though, so I still

865
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:34,959
Speaker 4: give him gifts all the time.

866
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 3: He just needs money.

867
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: But I mean, I mean, when they get to the

868
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 2: age where you can just give them money, what a dream?

869
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 3: I don't like that.

870
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 4: No.

871
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 3: I like going to five and under. Have you heard

872
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 3: a store?

873
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 4: No, It's like it's a story where everything's five dollars

874
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 4: an under.

875
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 2: Oh I thought it was for children five and under.

876
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: That's another business idea is still lower.

877
00:39:53,960 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 4: It's getting interesting your business ideas. I like going there

878
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 4: and I like spending one hundred dollars on nothing.

879
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: Wow, you know what are you getting a one hundred dollars?

880
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 4: No that I are contributing to a global problem? No, okay,

881
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 4: maybe forty five dollars okay?

882
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 2: And what sort of stuff do they have there?

883
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 3: They have great stuff?

884
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 2: Really?

885
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. I just bought a birthday gift for my niece

886
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 4: and it was just all these coloring books, books, stuffed animals.

887
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 4: Okay for your collection, just all kinds of stuff. It's

888
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 4: all fine, But you would also buy like furniture there.

889
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 4: Furniture I'm serious for under five dollars, like a lawn chair.

890
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: What is it like?

891
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 4: Like shoe racks and oh, little cabinets and dog beds.

892
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 3: And they have games, they have puzzles.

893
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: Is this a chain?

894
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: Yes?

895
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 2: Okay? Interesting? How have I never heard of five an under?

896
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 3: I just recently discovered it.

897
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 2: My I'll go to the dollar store. You know, you're

898
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: you're making some compromises when you're buying at the dollars

899
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 2: so or occasionally they have, you know, great deals. I'm

900
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: also going to Dice Dio Diso is like the place

901
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: where you go the things that when I buy there,

902
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, this is something I want to own.

903
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 2: Oh and they're like affordable, not five and under, but

904
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: under twenty.

905
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 4: Would you say, yeah, well, is there something that's twenty

906
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 4: dollars there?

907
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: There are things that look like they should cost twenty

908
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 2: dollars and that's two dice OF's credit exactly.

909
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 4: You can get some great dishware there, dishware stuff animal

910
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 4: and Harry, really beautiful soft stuffed animals. One year, I

911
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 4: had a little party and I just bought a bunch

912
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 4: of like Christmas socks there so everyone could have a

913
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 4: pair of socks.

914
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 2: I should get socks there.

915
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 4: But then you seem like you are so amazing and thoughtful.

916
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 4: You're like, wow, this person bought forty socks.

917
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 3: Like for us. Little do they know? Diso?

918
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's because DISO, I think has some level of

919
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 2: control of their brand. So it's like it's not just

920
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 2: random crap. It looks like someone's taken some level of care.

921
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I'm so impressed that you knew about Diceo.

922
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 2: The first time I went in a Diceo was like,

923
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 2: where did this come from? What is this?

924
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 3: What is I love? Like holes?

925
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 2: I think I bought some sort of some shower caddy.

926
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 2: You know they have things like that. I did buy

927
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: my niece is one of these stuffed animals. Cute, it

928
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 2: was adorable. It wasn't like a crummy looking stuffed animal.

929
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 2: It was cute.

930
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you a bad uncle?

931
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 2: No? No, I'm not a bad uncle. That's I mean,

932
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 2: that's why I have a problem with why I'm waiting

933
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 2: for my nieces to just accept money, because when I

934
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 2: need to give them a gift, I panic, I freak

935
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 2: out because I don't. I want them to get good gifts.

936
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 4: Wait, did you start this whole podcast as sort of

937
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 4: your own like to help you in a way.

938
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: I think subconsciously, I must have right, you must have everything.

939
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: There's a reason for everything. I mean, maybe someone visited

940
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 2: me in a dream and gave me the idea. It's

941
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: hard to say, but I think. I mean, it has

942
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 2: helped me accept things. I'm not kidding. I can, like

943
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 2: get a gift a little easier. Now, off the podcast.

944
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 3: What about compliments?

945
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 2: Compliments? I will never be able to take same. It's

946
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 2: a very difficult thing. And it's you should take a compliment.

947
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,479
Speaker 3: You should realistically, but we can't.

948
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: It's very difficult for me to do, and it's for

949
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 2: me somewhere between self hatred and I don't even know

950
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 2: what the like why I can't take compliments same? I

951
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 2: know what weird, person's just trying to be nice to you.

952
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: When were we taught that right?

953
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:35,720
Speaker 3: And what do you what is your reaction?

954
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 4: Because when someone says something nice about me, I instantly

955
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 4: kind of do this, like like.

956
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 3: Like I curl inside of myself.

957
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 4: I kind of hunch my shoulders and I like hide

958
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 4: my face.

959
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 2: Not attractive really because you immediately what a you're trying

960
00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 2: to deflect by becoming not the thing right you do?

961
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'll say something that immediately diminishes whatever

962
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 2: compliment I've been given.

963
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 3: So if I was like, you're really nice, you'd be like.

964
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 2: No, I'm not about jass whole I will say. I

965
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 2: think with shirts, if someone compliments a shirt I have,

966
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: I've gotten a little bit better of being like yeah,

967
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 2: I'll be like oh, because I used to be like,

968
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 2: oh I got it on sale, or oh this is

969
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 2: forty years old. I still do that on occasion, but

970
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 2: for the most part, I think I can now just say, oh,

971
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 2: thank you, that's great, but ow any other coroud of you, thank.

972
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 3: You, I love you. Specifically to shirts shirts as if

973
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 3: the only compliment you get is about your shirts.

974
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 2: Well, let's be honest. I guess I've got an incredible

975
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: library of shirts, do you. I mean, if I'm getting

976
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 2: compliments on shirts, shirt is really cool? Oh thank you.

977
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 2: But this I did get on sale was five dollars

978
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 2: at the Bearded Beagle Vintage placed down on York and

979
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 2: then I died it at sways Soo Shop, which is

980
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 2: a place I absolutely love. Oh my god, You've got

981
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 2: to go to Sway Soap Shop. They have a community

982
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 2: die bath and every month they have four different colors.

983
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 2: I'm addicted to it. I go there and just drop

984
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 2: off things and then like six weeks later the clothes

985
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 2: are new. This was white, Now it's a yellow shirt.

986
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 3: Well, most people would want the opposite.

987
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 2: Well, when you start off with the used white shirt,

988
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: you've got to there got one of the things you

989
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 2: got to do with it.

990
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 3: It's already halfway there, right, You've.

991
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 2: Got to get it to the full yellow. So now

992
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: it's kind of a yellow shirt and it's from the

993
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 2: Tosa East Athletic staff. I assume a high school or

994
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: college or something, right, right, how did we get to hear?

995
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 2: Oh compliments?

996
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 3: The heat is so blaring, I my brain is melting.

997
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 2: There was a time on this podcast when we were

998
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 2: recording during the pandemic in my back office, and we

999
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 2: didn't know that I could have the air conditioning on

1000
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 2: during recording because we thought it wouldn't interfere with sound.

1001
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: It was ninety degrees outside. It was the Julie c

1002
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 2: was Inner episode. If listeners want to go back and

1003
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 2: see if there's any evidence of this. Towards the end,

1004
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 2: I was blacking out. I was delirious. I did not

1005
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:10,760
Speaker 2: know what to do.

1006
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 4: Wait, I vote that you should move it back in

1007
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 4: that room as sort of like this is your own

1008
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 4: hot wings type thing. Do you know.

1009
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:20,840

Speaker 3: Thank you. It's like I've given you so much today.

1011
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 3: I probably won't get any commission giving. That would be

1012
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 3: so funny though.

1013
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, two people just sweating their brains out, and like

1014
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: you start saying things when you're delirious.

1015
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 3: Oh, I already feel like I've said you must certain.

Speaker 2: nice kind of celebrity gift, you know you've got. I

1087
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 2: think George Clooney's doing it. I'm sure other celebrities. I

1088
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 2: know one of the real house Wives of Salt Lake

1089
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 2: Cities got hers. So those, uh, take all that information,

1090
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 2: wash it around in your brain.

1091
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 3: Alrighty, here we go.

1092
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 4: I think that right out the gate, I would say,

1093
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 4: Olivia gets the tequila company.

1094
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 3: Oh did you say tequila specifically?

1095
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 2: Yes, her own brand of.

1096
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 4: Can you imagine how amazing that marketing will be?

1097
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 2: Yet? How do you market this respected British actresses foray

1098
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 2: into tequila?

1099
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 4: It would be perfect. I think they could do so

1100
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 4: many funny things, so many little spoofs, or just even

1101
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 4: her in like a really like a floor length gown.

1102
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 3: Like because because who says that tequila has to be anything?

1103
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 3: It could be anything. Maybe she can thank you. That's

1104
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 3: how I've always felt about tequila.

1105
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 2: You have been terrified to say it until this podcast,

1106
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 2: and you're so hot that you had to.

1107
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 3: Say it, to say it's coming to Olivia. Definitely with

1108
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 3: the tequila campaign, just because I want to see.

1109
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 2: That billboard right right and we all want to see

1110
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 2: that experiment? Will the brand tank? Do people trust Olivia

1111
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: with tequila?

1112
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't they?

1113
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 2: Because I don't really associate tequila with the British isles.

1114
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 3: But that's what's fun about.

1115
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 2: It, right? But fun or risky or risky, but sometimes

1116
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 2: risky can be fun.

1117
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 4: Wow, we learned a lesson all good things come with

1118
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 4: a little bit of risk, right sort of. Okay, so

1119
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 4: that's that. John Cougar Mellencamp. I'm such a big fan

1120
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 4: of his library. I think that, okay, music is therapy.

1121
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 4: So I would give him the chronic migraines because he

1122
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 4: already has this sort of like therapeutic hobby, how interesting.

1123
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 3: And career that he can help combat that, right.

1124
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 2: And I mean and for me speaking personally, I mean,

1125
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 2: I don't have chronic migraines, but I do have migraines,

1126
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 2: and there's a good chance they come from Jack and

1127
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 2: Diane maybe causing it because song is so bad that

1128
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 2: it's done something to my brain that occasionally I can't

1129
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 2: look at bright light right.

1130
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 4: Well, okay, And then also what if he can have

1131
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 4: he can sort of get at one of those commercials

1132
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 4: about migrain medicines.

1133
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, and they can use the song become the

1134
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 2: face and voice of chronic micro.

1135
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 4: Exactly, so he can flip it, you know, turn all

1136
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 4: of just like you turned your ability not to give

1137
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 4: good gifts into this podcast.

1138
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 2: Well and John CM, John Chronic Migraine, John Cougar Melank,

1139
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 2: I think this makes perfect.

1140
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, yes, JCM.

1141
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 4: And then they can play the infomercial like in between

1142
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 4: the prices, right, like commercial breaks and stuff.

1143
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 3: I feel like it's perfect.

1144
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 2: This is perfect for John Coucker.

1145
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 4: Okay, and then Bruce Bruce can have the tax stuff so.

1146
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 2: Late in life to have that gift, what a waste.

1147
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:03,320
Speaker 4: Well, he can pass it on to his children, that's true.

1148
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 4: Imagine you gather around by the fire, kids. Grandpa Bruce

1149
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 4: is gonna, is he grandpa?

1150
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 2: He's got he must be a grandpa, right, Grandpa.

1151
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 4: Bruce is going to tell you exactly how that or

1152
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 4: maybe he could leave it in his will.

1153
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 2: Interesting, or so to write a book right.

1154
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 4: About breaking down the American tax system. He'd be a legend. Yeah,

1155
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 4: that's the legacy he leaves behind. Yes, finally somebody understands

1156
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 4: what's going on with the American tax system. Yes, and

1157
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 4: then everybody gets to do or one of his children.

1158
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 4: Does he have more children than Laura or is it

1159
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 4: just her?

1160
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 3: Oh you looked not at it.

1161
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 2: I was looking at anse because I just feel like

1162
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 2: Analis has got the answer. Do you have any idea

1163
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 2: to children?

1164
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:41,919
Speaker 1: Laura?

1165
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 3: Interesting?

1166
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 2: The other remain.

1167
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, we do love Laura though, Oh we gotta love her.

1168
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you want Laura to understand the tax system I have.

1169
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 2: I need her to understand it.

1170
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 4: Maybe then she would start like a new uh like

1171
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 4: H and R block, but she becomes like a CPA.

1172
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 2: She should play a CPA. I feel like that's right

1173
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 2: up her ally.

1174
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 4: That would be a great show in a session, but

1175
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 4: interesting at a local tax office. Oh and then her dad,

1176
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 4: Bruce can play her dad in the show. And he

1177
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 4: has an understanding of the tax system. This is perfect,

1178
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 4: and he passes that legacy onto Laura, and she's a

1179
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 4: urgeoning CPA.

1180
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,720
Speaker 2: When the writers' strike ends, we're going to take meetings,

1181
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 2: We're going to pitch the show. There we go, Laura

1182
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: reached out, Is it Laura? Laura? I never understand with

1183
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 2: Laura's you are saying Laura, Laura Dern, Laura Dern. I

1184
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 2: would I love her so much, and I don't know

1185
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 2: how to pronounce her name. That's so embarrassing. I better

1186
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 2: Laura Dern. It's Laura Dern. Laura, Yeah, Laura Dern. What

1187
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 2: am I thinking?

1188
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 4: I thought it sounded questionable. I didn't want to embarrass you.

1189
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 2: Laura Dern. I can't believe what I've done to you. Okay,

1190
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 2: we've you played the game in a very interesting way

1191
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 2: and I really appreciated it.

1192
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 3: Wait, what's the right way to play?

1193
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 2: There's no right way to play the game. Okay, it's

1194
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 2: more it's a thought exercise. But nobody wants to have

1195
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 2: a thought exercise. They want to have a game in

1196
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 2: today's culture. They don't want a game.

1197
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 4: The only thing I'll say about the word interesting is

1198
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 4: it it's definitely giving more negative than positive.

1199
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 3: But maybe that's my own trauma.

1200
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 2: I didn't mean that.

1201
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 3: Sometimes my mom will be like, that's interesting, and I'm like,

1202
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 3: what does that mean? What do you mean? A lot

1203
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 3: of people do that that's interesting.

1204
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, people will say, oh, it was interesting, but it's

1205
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 2: not a compliment. We need to get interesting back into

1206
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 2: the compliment category. Well, speaking of interesting, this is the

1207
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 2: final segment of the podcast. It's called I said no emails.

1208
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 2: The listener writes into I said no gifts at gmail

1209
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 2: dot com. And they're interesting questions. They're interesting questions, and I, listener,

1210
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 2: I want to open this, really, open this up, ask

1211
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 2: it whatever you want. At this point, I don't even

1212
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 2: care anymore. Usually they're problems in their lives, social problems.

1213
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 2: This kind of thing. But I don't really care anymore.

1214
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 2: I'll take any question. I've already assued. You're gonna help me?

1215
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 2: Are you gonna help me? Yeah?

1216
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 3: Sure, dull, but I think I remember what you said.

1217
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 2: We had to pull you off the ground. Your body

1218
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 2: is limp. This is Highbridger, and whoever your guest is,

1219
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 2: that feels rude, That feels a little there's no compliment there, whatever,

1220
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 2: but whatever, this is the letter, Yeah, Highbridger, and whoever

1221
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:21,919
Speaker 2: your guest is. Oh, my mom's sixtieth is two days

1222
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,919
Speaker 2: apart from my thirtieth this year. Obviously, I want all

1223
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 2: eyes on my birthday. But all that seems unfair, Okay,

1224
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 2: So I want to get her something nice. She likes

1225
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: wine but drinks a bit too much and likes reading,

1226
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 2: and honestly that's all she seems to like. Her and

1227
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 2: my dad do keep bees, but it's more of my

1228
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 2: dad's thing. So maybe something to get her excited about that.

1229
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 2: I have absolutely no idea. Thank you, Leoni, She her Leoni.

1230
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 2: The big question is what is this relationship between mother

1231
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 2: and daughter? This daughter is writing in and is you know,

1232
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 2: kind of pointing the finger about the drinking. It is

1233
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 2: obviously wants all of the birthday attention, knows next to

1234
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 2: nothing about the mom. She knows she has maybe a

1235
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 2: drinking problem in like story, Oh and be keeping, be keeping,

1236
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 2: And that's more of the dance thing, right, So it

1237
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 2: feels like Leone first of all, just wanted to announce

1238
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 2: it's her thirtieth. Happy birthday, Leone, we love a birthday.

1239
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 2: You're getting all of this attention, but also happy sixtieth

1240
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 2: to your mom. We don't want to leave her out,

1241
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 2: But how do we answer the question?

1242
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,959
Speaker 4: You know what's hard about this is they're both big years.

1243
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,439
Speaker 4: It's not like someone's like I'm turning twenty eight, I'm

1244
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 4: turning thirty seven, right, or fifty seven big. They're milestones

1245
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 4: thirty and sixty. So I kind of understand why she's like, well,

1246
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 4: thirty is big too, thirty thirty you want to give

1247
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 4: that up, right, I understand, But I mean the thing is,

1248
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 4: why does one diminish the other?

1249
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 3: Can it just be on a different day? Like one?

1250
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 2: Zioni's very competitive. She wants to beat her mom. She

1251
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 2: wants to beat her at this game. You know, it's

1252
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 2: a she is.

1253
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 3: The question what should she get her?

1254
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, she wants what do I get her that's basically drinking,

1255
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 2: reading or bees? Is there a book about drinking and bees? Probably?

1256
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 2: What do you buy a beekeeper? Maybe a cute bee

1257
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 2: keeping suit?

1258
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 4: See, I'm all about when I here's my philosophy on gifts.

1259
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 3: Mine is all about experiences.

1260
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 4: Oh sure, I'm not like, here's a you know, a

1261
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 4: designer bag or whatever, like that's crazy as again first

1262
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 4: of all, but I'm more about I'd love to take

1263
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 4: you to, like, let's do a beekeeping class together.

1264
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 3: How make a memory?

1265
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 4: You know, so maybe they can go and have wine

1266
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 4: at the bee society.

1267
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 2: To me is what I would imagine. There's some sort

1268
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 2: of bee society.

1269
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 3: I mean, how fun would that be?

1270
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's she's because it sounds seems like it's

1271
00:58:57,840 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 2: kind of the dad's thing, and this makes it kind

1272
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 2: of fun for her her, it makes the mom kind

1273
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: of enjoy it. I'm just beyond baffled why the thirtieth

1274
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 2: birthday was even brought up here. It should not have

1275
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 2: been brought up. She's confused us.

1276
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 3: What do you mean?

1277
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 2: Why is centering it on herself? She's trying to get

1278
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 2: the mamma gift poke a hole in the best suit

1279
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 2: and see what happens. That's an experience.

1280
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 3: The truth comes the real measure comes out.

1281
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 4: No, but I agree with you because that's why I'm

1282
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 4: confused as to what is she asking?

1283
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 2: Right?

1284
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,919
Speaker 4: Is she asking what to get her? She asking why

1285
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 4: she has to do anything for her at all?

1286
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 2: She's asking why are we so distant from each other?

1287
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 2: Why do I not get along with mom?

1288
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 3: You know what?

1289
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 4: The mother daughter experience is a mystical creature.

1290
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 2: It seems mystical to me.

1291
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 4: It is so mystical, and I don't think I'll ever

1292
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 4: understand it until I have a daughter.

1293
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 2: It feels more fraught than other parent child relationships. I'd

1294
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 2: say one. Is that true?

1295
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 3: Oh yes, most.

1296
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:02,959
Speaker 2: Of the daughters I know, their relationship with their mother

1297
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 2: is never just smooth sailing.

1298
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 4: It's interesting, is what it is. It's kind of like,

1299
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 4: it's not negative, it's not positive. It's just sort of

1300
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 4: its own interesting thing.

1301
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 2: Right right, I'll never be able to speak to it.

1302
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 2: My mom and I get along perfectly? Oh jealous?

1303
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 3: What is that like?

1304
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 2: No?

1305
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 3: I mean, my mom and I are great, but you know.

1306
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 2: Today, don't count on that forever? Yeah? What are I mean? Leone?

1307
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 2: The bee drink drink at the bee Society. There's got

1308
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 2: to be a book about drinking and bees. Give her

1309
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 2: a day off at the bee farm. I don't know.

1310
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 4: But also, I mean, just you got to respect your

1311
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 4: elders at this point in the game and just make

1312
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 4: it all about your mom.

1313
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 2: I think, what do you think is more a bigger

1314
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 2: milestone thirtieth or sixtieth? I think sixty okay, interesting.

1315
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 4: Well, I haven't made it there yet, so I'm not sure,

1316
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 4: but it feels like it was big.

1317
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 3: But then fifty fifty is kind of big.

1318
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 2: Right, Fifty is a big one.

1319
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 4: I would say maybe thirty and fifty are pretty big ones, right, Yeah,

1320
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 4: I would say.

1321
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 2: So, it's a good question. Sixty you've been around longer,

1322
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 2: but I think at that point you've kind of figured

1323
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 2: it out. Thirty you're just about to have to figure

1324
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 2: it out.

1325
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 3: When you're sixty. I'm gonna call you and be like,

1326
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:24,959
Speaker 3: did you figure it out?

1327
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 2: No? Will I make it to sixty? It's anyone's guess. Oh,

1328
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say that on the podcasts.

1329
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 3: Gonna be very mad at me that your mom will

1330
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 3: be mad.

1331
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 2: No, my boyfriend, whenever I talk about dying, he gets

1332
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 2: very sensitive.

1333
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:43,919
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, can you imagine he's like, cool, cool, cool,

1334
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 4: I don't care. Maybe leave it in the podcast how much? Well,

1335
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 4: never mind, Well, I'm know. I was gonna say podcasting

1336
01:01:56,320 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 4: is interesting because how many people say things and they're.

1337
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 2: Like, oh, that's a good question. Not that many. I

1338
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 2: mean I think that the medium does make people slightly

1339
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 2: more comfortable because they're like, well, if I do say

1340
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 2: something stupid, I can say after, oh I didn't mean

1341
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 2: to say that, cut it out. It's not like live.

1342
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 2: If we were going straight to an audience, I would

1343
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 2: be freaking out right now. Yeah, but I've said heinous

1344
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 2: things every episode on this podcast. I say horrible things,

1345
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 2: just the worst, and you taking you cut it out

1346
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 2: out to keep you know, to keep people on my side.

1347
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 2: But every episode I say something that's just despicable. Wow,

1348
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 2: And I've said, you know, listener doesn't know what I

1349
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 2: said on this episode because I got cut out right.

1350
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 2: But you agree it was the worst thing you had

1351
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 2: ever heard.

1352
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 3: It was pretty bad, you guys.

1353
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 4: I am stressed that you've been asking to leave for

1354
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 4: quite a while, Stressed.

1355
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 3: That I'm in this person's backyard.

1356
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 4: There's some sort of gait, there's a gate in loud garbage.

1357
01:02:59,760 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 2: Try.

1358
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 3: I don't know where I am. I'm delirious.

1359
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:04,479
Speaker 2: This goes back to the heat.

1360
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 3: I think, Oh no, he's offered me water. I drank it.

1361
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 3: Who knows what you didn't see.

1362
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 2: Where the water came from. That's sewage. Okay, we answered

1363
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 2: the question. I have my avocado. We've got to get
