00:00:08 Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear. 00:00:17 Speaker 2: When you're a guest in my home. 00:00:21 Speaker 1: You gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests, your own presences presence enough. And I already had too much stuff, So how. 00:00:35 Speaker 2: Do you dare to surbey me? 00:00:48 Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Bridgard Wine girl. We're in the backyard. I woke up very early. I thought I would, you know, get on top of things, get things done today, and then about halfway through breakfast, I realized I have nothing to do. So I'm back from the store. Closing of the Eagle Rock Macy's final days of sale up to seventy percent off. You know, house swears clothing, the mannequins are not for sale, but that ends Sunday, so keep that in mind. Macy's says closing. It's on Colorado Boulevard. You don't want to miss the sale. Now let's get into the podcast. I absolutely adore today's guests. She's just wonderful. It's Claudia Adority. 00:01:34 Speaker 2: Hello, I'm thrilled to be here. 00:01:36 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm thrilled you're here. 00:01:37 Speaker 2: But what did you buy at Macy's. I didn't buy a single thing. You didn't. Everything was not my size. That's annoying. But no home wears nothing. 00:01:47 Speaker 3: No home Wars. I looked at the rugs. 00:01:49 Speaker 2: It was what was the vibe in there? It was great. 00:01:52 Speaker 3: It was very sad. They've turned off the air conditioning. They're not paying for that anymore. 00:01:57 Speaker 2: It's a bad time for physical retail. 00:01:59 Speaker 3: Oh, especially the department store. Yeah, this place even prior to all of they were closing down signs. Yeah, very dark. 00:02:07 Speaker 2: Son. You explain Macy's to me. Of course it's a foreigner. I know it is American department store parade parade, Yes, of course, yeah, that's it. Like, is it a fancy one? 00:02:22 Speaker 3: No, it's a I would say it's mid range. I mean, I guess all department stores are basically mid range. 00:02:28 Speaker 2: What's the low range? Bad range? 00:02:32 Speaker 3: Well, there used to be a store called Mervyn's that's gone. 00:02:35 Speaker 2: Oh wow, I've never Yeah, I don't know. 00:02:39 Speaker 3: I guess maybe J C. Penny is, Oh yeah, slightly below Macy's. But I hope I'm not Upsettings. 00:02:46 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not one, so I couldn't tell you. 00:02:49 Speaker 3: Maybe Sears Sears I think was like the last department store you wanted to be shopping. 00:02:54 Speaker 2: And La La is like Nieman Markets. 00:02:57 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Marcus Robinson may is that I've never I believe that's. 00:03:03 Speaker 2: One right west coast, East coast. 00:03:06 Speaker 3: I believe it's West coast. I've never seen it anywhere but California. 00:03:09 Speaker 2: I've never seen it at all. And I live in Los Angeles. 00:03:14 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's interesting that Macy's is the one with the parade. Yeah, but I don't think they're going to I wonder if that's going to be changing. 00:03:21 Speaker 2: That's where the money is, mid tier mass appeal, right, right, So the parade is over. 00:03:28 Speaker 3: The parade's not over, but I feel like if Macy's goes under, it's going to be like suddenly sponsored by some. 00:03:32 Speaker 2: Sort of nuclear power parade. 00:03:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, some sort of It'll be a dangerous sponsored Martin. Yeah, Thanksgiving. David, what are what's the big department store in Australia. 00:03:47 Speaker 2: Well it's David Jones. David Jones, which is kind of fancy, Okay. And then and then there's like Target came out, which were obviously American, but like and those are are those apartments still? Those just those are I think let's get into it. Yeah, I think is that what I'll say? 00:04:06 Speaker 3: I think on paper you could call that a department store if you're in one without groceries. 00:04:11 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's a crazy American twist on an American store. In your defense, but like the idea that you sell groceries at Target is wild to me. It's very strange. 00:04:24 Speaker 3: But also I think maybe old fashion. I feel like you're crossing the plains. They probably had everything in the store. Maybe it's a throwback, but Australia people. 00:04:34 Speaker 2: The cannibals who crossed America. 00:04:36 Speaker 3: Oh, the Donner Party, the Donner Party. 00:04:39 Speaker 2: They would have loved the department store. 00:04:40 Speaker 3: They would have taken a Mervyn's or J. C. 00:04:43 Speaker 2: Pennie with groceries because then they just said each other once they died, right. 00:04:52 Speaker 3: Yes, I think they waited for it. Next to I feel like I can answer these questions. I believe they must have waited for somebody to die, right. They're not like killing them, they're killing to eat. And it's the same with their live people. You know the plane guys. 00:05:09 Speaker 2: Wait, who's this? You know? 00:05:11 Speaker 3: There was like. 00:05:13 Speaker 2: I'm not sure what country they were from, but in the seventies, like a soccer team they were flying over. I'm going to say the Andes Mountain. It just feels right. It feels right, doesn't it. And then they crashed and they had to start eating the dead people. And then I think maybe the people like some people are like, I'm going to die soon, please eat me. 00:05:34 Speaker 3: Oh what a sacrifice. Yeah, I don't know if I would be. 00:05:37 Speaker 2: Once again, I don't have a full understanding, and I shouldn't be talking about it. 00:05:42 Speaker 3: I feel like if I was about to die, I would not I wouldn't give the go ahead. I would let them make that decision on their. 00:05:48 Speaker 2: Oh okay, you like, I just don't want to be part of it, don't tell me. Yeah, I don't want to know. I'd say go for it. I'm kind of willing for almost anything to be done with my dead body. I don't care. True, I'll be dead. 00:06:00 Speaker 3: Right. Are you an organ donor? 00:06:02 Speaker 2: Yes? 00:06:03 Speaker 3: Right, I mean of course you have. 00:06:04 Speaker 2: And then someone said to me once like, oh, you shouldn't say you're an organ doner, because then they like, let you die on the table. There's no way they want the organs. But I don't think they know the people that. 00:06:14 Speaker 3: Are rescuing You have no idea what organs are. 00:06:16 Speaker 2: Needed, surgeon. I would rather save the person then they get the organs, you know, like just having to tell people like they died on the table and they're pretty much embarrassing for him. A bad day. Right, Women can be dug they can. 00:06:35 Speaker 3: Very recent develops shocking. No, that's a I mean that's a good point. I feel like if you why would you want to just get the organs? Yeah, well, I mean there's no way that's true. 00:06:47 Speaker 2: You could be making money out of the organs. 00:06:51 Speaker 3: Oh, it's like selling them on the black market. 00:06:53 Speaker 2: A horror movie about that. It was like it was I mean, I don't these are all such make remember, but it's like two girls are traveling Okay, so it felt kind of racist because I don't remember what country they were traveling too. But then like things go south and people are trying to harvest their. 00:07:12 Speaker 3: Own right naturally, these these people who are from their origin country. 00:07:16 Speaker 2: Are exactly after them. Yeah, and so you've got to be careful. They wake up in like icy bars. 00:07:22 Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, this isn't like an urban legend I think right where like somebody said, oh I went to Las Vegas and then suddenly woke up in a bathtub and my kidney was gone. God, it just feels like a long way to go to get a few thousand dollars. Yes, right, there've got to be other crimes you could commit. 00:07:38 Speaker 2: I found this few thousand dollars this morning. 00:07:42 Speaker 3: Under the bed or where. 00:07:43 Speaker 2: No, my friend said, with this website, she said, you might think this looks sounds like a scam. 00:07:48 Speaker 1: What was it? 00:07:50 Speaker 2: It's just this website. It's a government website. Oh, I actually be gone on. 00:07:54 Speaker 3: This website, like payments that haven't made it. 00:07:57 Speaker 2: To you, Yes, like checks that have gone to the address. 00:08:00 Speaker 3: Yes, I made some money off of this thing. 00:08:03 Speaker 2: Yeah, I made some money off it too, like three thousand dollars. 00:08:07 Speaker 3: Right, it's incredible because you know I. 00:08:09 Speaker 2: Moved you know, when I first moved to America. I mean, I've had more than one address. Also, there's an apostrophe in my name, So when I first entered my name, nothing, but then when I took the apostrophe out, three thousand bucks. Wow. 00:08:22 Speaker 3: Do you know what jobs it was from? 00:08:24 Speaker 2: No, I can't tell. I can just tell, like what studio and what company and in the company, I'm like, never heard of that, No idea, that's I mean, I think anybody can two hundred and six dollars what's that? Who knows? Who knows? Who cares? Yeah, but I'm going to spend it all at Macy's and with those deep discounts. You've got two days left to say exactly, I can't wait. I don't know what to tell you. 00:08:48 Speaker 3: Rugs or a few desk chairs. 00:08:50 Speaker 2: Their rugs good though? Do they have that horrible like fake distressed effect. A lot of them did. 00:08:56 Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of them were just simply bad looking, even with out of distressed look. They had like a statue of a giraffe sitting on a bench that was not for sale. 00:09:08 Speaker 2: Oh, now that I would have. 00:09:12 Speaker 3: But the rugs, yeah, and just the idea of like having to lift the rugs up. They're all piled on each other. 00:09:18 Speaker 2: So heavy, too heavy. Rugs are too heavy, way too heavy. A lightweight rug that feels like that's a really good look, but it needs to be it needs to grip the floor. 00:09:27 Speaker 3: It's gonna happen. 00:09:28 Speaker 2: I'm immediately imagining a slipping hazard like a sheet of paper basically exactly whoops. 00:09:35 Speaker 3: It should be slightly damp or sticky. 00:09:38 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it should be sticky on at least one side or work with static. Sometimes I wish my shoes were sticky on the bottom, just because I have a tendency to slip, over, fall over, et cetera. 00:09:50 Speaker 3: Well, you know there's something called crews for shoes. No shoes for crews. 00:09:54 Speaker 2: What the hell is that these are sold? 00:09:58 Speaker 3: I think they're largely warm my food service workers in the kitchen. Slippery atmosphere. Yeah, they're hideous. They're absolutely hideous shoes, but I feel like you could pull them off. Describe them just black blocky shoes instead of clog esque, but industrial. 00:10:14 Speaker 2: Summer clog esque. 00:10:15 Speaker 3: Some are like I think, trying to approximate a sneaker and failing. 00:10:22 Speaker 2: Well, you see, I have got slender limbs, so I could probably pull off like a big chunky shoes. You could. I tried. Last week. I did buy clogs for the first time. Oh, out of nowhere. I was like, I want clogs, And then I bought them and I couldn't wear them. They looked fine, but they were really really so hard to wear, Like I was standing still and I fell over like they couldn't And I was like, are they going to fly off your feet? 00:10:55 Speaker 3: A gentle breeze blow did you order them online. 00:11:00 Speaker 2: Okay, that was a mistake in a sale, but you could still return that, right right, Essence, you know that website snow, Well, that's not the name of the brand, it's but the name of the web the website, so it's going to be a department store website. Yeah, it's like a sort of sort of fashion website. Okay, Essence, get your clogs, get them, return them, just to it is my recommendation. I was really excited to get a new sort of shoe in my life. 00:11:27 Speaker 3: Right, a whole new shape and form exactly. 00:11:32 Speaker 2: They were too dangerous, so I had to return. 00:11:36 Speaker 3: Did you wear them around the house? 00:11:37 Speaker 2: I did. I clumped back and forth from my living room to the hallway where there's a full length mirror quite a few times, and I was like, nope. I ordered them in two sizes as well, because they were flying off my feet, so I was like, it must be I must need the smaller size, a size I've never worn. It's such a small size, a size it's generally not available in stores. Wow, a custom a European thirty five? That's timy, What is that? In US? So a thirty six is like a five and a half okay, which is usually like five. So a thirty five is a four and a half, which is like, wow. 00:12:16 Speaker 3: That's a small headed towards children shoes. 00:12:19 Speaker 2: But you know, it's an open backed clog, so you can really come out the bat. 00:12:24 Speaker 3: Right, I mean, but until the point when you're falling out, yeah, yeah. 00:12:27 Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't really want that. But I honestly just don't appreciate is shoe where you have to sort of like think about keeping it on your instead of hooking your foot into it as you go. 00:12:37 Speaker 3: That's not okay, No, that's taking that's probably shaving off an extra five percent of brain power totally every day. 00:12:45 Speaker 2: Exactly, you're focused on your foot, your feet at all times. 00:12:48 Speaker 3: You're not performing the way you could. 00:12:50 Speaker 2: Not charming no, no, no, no, charming the people around you? Which is your main job? 00:12:54 Speaker 3: What is that's everyone's main What is the main purpose of a clog? 00:12:59 Speaker 2: Though? I think, well, okay, I was trying to figure out, because it does lead you into like cooking and industrial wear because there are industrial clocks. I think they were invented somewhere in Europe. Obviously there would there wouldn't. 00:13:16 Speaker 3: This is like a Dutch thing. 00:13:17 Speaker 2: It's like a Dutch thing, and i'd look once again, I will speak as if I am. I don't know if people wear them for gardening, like gardening and being an artist in but I like for gardening. 00:13:35 Speaker 3: I don't understand the benefit there in case you need to get out quick. 00:13:40 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I do like the idea of a shoe you can slip your foot into no straps, but then we come into the flying off the feet problem and having small feet, so it's all very hard and. 00:13:52 Speaker 3: I feel like a traditional clog format does have. 00:13:54 Speaker 2: A back Yeah, yeah, sometimes. 00:14:01 Speaker 1: I don't. 00:14:04 Speaker 3: I want to circle back to Australian kmart. 00:14:06 Speaker 2: Oh we will. But I also at one point want to ask you if you've ever considered releasing a vinegar line. Have people ask you this? 00:14:18 Speaker 1: Ques? 00:14:19 Speaker 3: I mean, I certainly could is vinegar, it's winegar, winnegar, vinegar. 00:14:24 Speaker 2: Winegart, but you would pronounce it vinegar winnug is vinegar. 00:14:29 Speaker 3: It is vinegar from wherever it comes from. 00:14:32 Speaker 2: Exactly maybe really so where saying vinegar? 00:14:37 Speaker 3: Yes, I'm going to say yes, absolutely yes. 00:14:40 Speaker 2: Because that's a great rhyme. It's perfect rhyme. 00:14:43 Speaker 3: I feel like it could be a brand for me. Ye, vinegar vinegar, your brand. 00:14:50 Speaker 2: So long for me, I am clawing for a brand exactly. 00:14:54 Speaker 3: Maybe it's in a kind of the tart space. 00:14:58 Speaker 2: The hour, the tangy, salty tang. It did great stuff for Paul Newman, did I. 00:15:05 Speaker 3: Would argue it overshadowed his actual Yes. 00:15:08 Speaker 2: People of a certain generation only know him as a salad dressing. 00:15:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, they have no idea that this man did anything else. 00:15:13 Speaker 2: He was handsome. A woman I worked for once when I worked in a museum gift shop, she said she met him and he was the cleanest man she'd ever met. She said he wasn't attractive, he was so clean. He was too clean. 00:15:31 Speaker 3: It felt like you couldn't get a grip on him. 00:15:32 Speaker 2: Yeah, not like he wasn't human. And I once saw Tom Cruise in real life and he was very clean. Interests such shiny hair. How close were you to I'd say I was within one meter, sorry to use a metric system, I'd say it was two feet away. 00:15:48 Speaker 3: Two feet okay, thank you. 00:15:50 Speaker 2: He was greeting someone and it was I was like, I've never seen such shiny hair, glistening but clean, not with a product, so okay, so not wet, no, no, no, nor dry as a bone, but so shiny. How does he do it? 00:16:09 Speaker 3: But I feel like with shiny hair you can't get to dry as a bone. You're in a different space oil. Yeah, but I feel like it's like what is hay before it becomes hay when it's. 00:16:21 Speaker 2: Alive, wheat, grass. 00:16:25 Speaker 3: Whatever it is when it's green. I feel like that's what Tom cruise. 00:16:29 Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't know, never thought about it. Oh God, that's a little embarrassing. 00:16:36 Speaker 3: Him. 00:16:36 Speaker 2: I didn't award so many in England. 00:16:39 Speaker 3: Interesting, Yeah, did you make eye contact? 00:16:41 Speaker 1: No? 00:16:42 Speaker 2: But I was looking right at him, but he I mean, I imagine when you're famous, and especially like famous like that, you're so good at not making eye contact, right, you have to train yourself in the same way that bartenders don't make eye contact. Interesting, like, you know, because if you catch someone's eye, so either make them a drink or you know, talk to them, and everyone knows who. 00:17:05 Speaker 3: You are, right, So it's probably like a constant scanning, yes, exactly, And like he probably doesn't see other people at this. 00:17:13 Speaker 2: Point because it's like he'd never get anything done if he did engage with every single person he saw. But then when he does I suspect he can, you know, engages warmly, right, he must really. 00:17:25 Speaker 3: We would hear otherwise. Yeah, but what do you think he's trying to get done? 00:17:32 Speaker 2: I think, look, what do I think? I think he's rubbing a pretty weird guy. But I think, well, did you hear the room where he lives in England? I didn't hear this room? Well, it was in the New Yorker, like I was trying to remember. 00:17:47 Speaker 3: It was New York Times and New Yorker, New York Magasin. 00:17:50 Speaker 2: It was in the New Yorker. 00:17:52 Speaker 3: They published this rumor. 00:17:53 Speaker 2: Yeah, that they're like searching for Tom Cruise because no one can find him and no one can confirm whether he lives in this like very picturesque part of England. But people are like, yeah, he lives here. What did he's talked about like buying like a curry from like a certain restaurant. 00:18:11 Speaker 3: Oh, that's a dead giveaway. 00:18:12 Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember seeing him on Oprah once and talking about his carbonara recipe. This was in the set of late nineties, and I think it was wrong interesting, but he spoke with such authority. 00:18:26 Speaker 3: Was it probably didn't involve the main ingredients. 00:18:29 Speaker 2: I think it had cream in it, which is really not exactly. 00:18:32 Speaker 3: Wait, what isn't I figured it would have cream in it? 00:18:34 Speaker 2: You're wrong? Is it just butter? No, there's no butter. 00:18:38 Speaker 3: Oh what's the cream element of it? Egg yolk? 00:18:41 Speaker 2: Pure egg yolk? 00:18:42 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:18:43 Speaker 2: Wow. Sometimes people will put a whole legg as well, but it's usually just egg yolk, peccorino and parmesan. Wow. And you know guan chie right, Bacon. If you're in a pinch, sure America, you're most likely to find Gwen Chile. He's kind of hard to find. Panchetta is easier to find, but they're from different parts of the pig. Gwen Charlie's the cheek. Oh am, I right about that. I'm pretty sure I'm panchet is the stomach. Do you have a preference, Gwen Charlie's better for. 00:19:17 Speaker 3: For the carbonara? Yeah, I feel like if only and this may be maybe just because I'm trash. 00:19:22 Speaker 2: Bacon. Oh, yeah, Bacon's great, He's great, it'll be really nice. I just found out I've got high cholesterol. But you have high cholesterol. 00:19:31 Speaker 3: Yes, Oh, You've come to the right podcast. 00:19:34 Speaker 2: Are you on anything for it? 00:19:36 Speaker 3: Brazil nuts? What Claudia? What a few years ago. This was pre pandemic. Okay, I think it was twenty nineteen. I was seeing a therapist who I'm no longer saying. 00:19:46 Speaker 2: Because you're fine now, because I'm fine, I'm you solve my problems. I'm healed. 00:19:51 Speaker 3: No, you know, just wasn't working. 00:19:53 Speaker 2: But he did. 00:19:55 Speaker 3: I was diagnosed with cholesterol that was at the high end of normal. 00:19:59 Speaker 2: Yes, that was me. 00:20:01 Speaker 3: I told him, this is one of the truths I revealed in therapy to my therapist, and he said, my husband has high cholesterol. He started eating two brazil nuts a day. 00:20:10 Speaker 2: Two two. They are big nuts. 00:20:12 Speaker 3: They're big nuts. It's a snack. 00:20:14 Speaker 2: Yeah. One is a snack. Two is a meal. 00:20:16 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:20:17 Speaker 3: Well okay, but his cholesterol dropped. So I thought, I'm going to give this a shot. It works for me. 00:20:24 Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm gonna buy some to day. You should do it. 00:20:27 Speaker 3: Just have them in the cupboard and then like during the day or in the morning. I can almost take them as a vitamin. 00:20:31 Speaker 2: Holy Molly. 00:20:33 Speaker 3: And I did some research because I was skeptical. There are studies about this, and I feel like the studies were like eight a month, but why not do to a day? 00:20:42 Speaker 2: Yeah? Not it's a nice yeah nutstay screw every one, not every not though. 00:20:46 Speaker 3: Right, And brazil nuts and particular people kind of don't like why. I think it's too much. And when it's in a nut mix and it's like, oh, that's a huge commitment for me. 00:20:55 Speaker 2: I'm meeting a huge nut. This is like six nuts, right. And I don't like cashiw's. 00:21:00 Speaker 3: Oh that's controversial. 00:21:01 Speaker 2: They're too sweet and I'm sick of them. They're too readily available. I don't want them. 00:21:05 Speaker 3: They are kind of that. 00:21:06 Speaker 2: I really come out to walnuts. Walnuts. 00:21:09 Speaker 3: You'll eat a raw walnut, I will. 00:21:11 Speaker 2: But I do love to toast a walnut. 00:21:13 Speaker 3: Okay, I'll eat a toast it. 00:21:14 Speaker 2: Love to throw it in the oven at three fifty for about ten minutes and then you can have it in anything. 00:21:20 Speaker 3: Toasting a nut scares me to death. 00:21:22 Speaker 2: Oh why I get a grip. 00:21:25 Speaker 3: I'm afraid they're gonna burn. Browning butter toasting nuts pure panic that you try to do it, but. 00:21:30 Speaker 2: You shouldn't brown butter because of your high cholesterol. But now now it's fine, it's fine. I'm living the life. 00:21:38 Speaker 3: I'm eating all sorts of I mean, I'm eating eggs, constantly, Oh, my gosh, I had a breakfast Soaco for lunch. 00:21:44 Speaker 2: Congrats, I haven't had lunch. 00:21:46 Speaker 3: Go oh, I I hate to hear that. I know what times do you have breakfast? 00:21:51 Speaker 2: Probably like ten thirty because I woke up when I was at a pubby and I had to walk to get coffee, and I was like, I'll go get some bananas tag with my sea because now I'm eating cereal to special oat cereal to try to get my cholesterol. So embarrassing the. 00:22:07 Speaker 3: Cereal gets if you walk away with one piece of information today brazil nuts. 00:22:16 Speaker 2: Okay, it's amazing. I'm going to do it. 00:22:18 Speaker 3: I'm so excited for you. I'm so glad to share this piece of information with another person rather pod. 00:22:23 Speaker 2: I was also annoyed because my doctor was like I was in the high end of normal a few years ago, and then when I went to the doctor, I was like, I think I've got high cholesterol because why wouldn't I eat whatever I want all the time. I love eating food. And then they did test me and they're like, yeah, it's high are you? 00:22:44 Speaker 3: What are you eating a lot of red meat? 00:22:46 Speaker 2: Well this was a good point my friend made, so like what did you have for dinner the night before? And I had made myself staycup wave. So that's a pretty intensely high conceal meal. It's a steak with a cream sauce. So that might have really that tipped the scale. I might have really bumped up my number, right, But I want to be able to eat that. But I don't eat that a lot. 00:23:09 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, with my trick, you can do that every night. 00:23:12 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to do it, and I killed. I'm so excited about these brazil nuts. 00:23:18 Speaker 3: We've got to take care of ourselves. 00:23:20 Speaker 2: Is it an expensive nut? 00:23:22 Speaker 3: I feel like all nuts are expensive, right, true. I feel like for a bag that's maybe half pound, yeah, ten to eleven dollars a trader Joe's See. 00:23:32 Speaker 2: This is the problem. I refuse to learn imperial is it? 00:23:40 Speaker 3: Wait? 00:23:40 Speaker 2: Do we call it a standard? 00:23:41 Speaker 3: That feels like that's a really bad movie. Yeah, it's really just scummy. 00:23:47 Speaker 2: It's just a crazy system. The ounces the pound. 00:23:51 Speaker 3: It makes perfect since no get metrics. Come on, guys, we're too late, I mean, unfortunately the people who. 00:23:58 Speaker 2: You can do anything into euros in the seventies. Well, it's fine. 00:24:02 Speaker 3: If children got to vote, we probably would switch to metric, but because adults are voting, they're like, I can't change my mind. 00:24:08 Speaker 2: Change it's too late. Well that's pathetic and it dooms us. It will do us in every way. But I do love a walnut. I love walnuts, and do you know my top nut? What guess um? 00:24:23 Speaker 3: Can I ask if it's conventional or unconventional? 00:24:25 Speaker 2: It's pretty conventional an almond, no way, what is it? Hazel nuts? Hazel look because it works in savory and sweet it does, of course, sorry to say, I'm a chocoholic. 00:24:40 Speaker 3: Do you like nutella? 00:24:41 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's a little too sweet for me, way too sweet for me. But I love the I love the flavor combination of chocolate and hazelnut. Right that rocks my world. 00:24:50 Speaker 3: I feel like with nutella, someone you need, someone needs to make a new version. 00:24:55 Speaker 2: That's one of the cast of Stranger Things. Did investigate this because I was like, it must be like a nice. 00:25:03 Speaker 3: Like a kind of quote unquote for adults. 00:25:06 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's probably for kids because he's from Stranger Things. Yeah, I think he's like fourteen or something. But it is meant to be like a healthy version of Natella have you tried it. I have tried it. It didn't do anything for I wasn't like, oh, he's done it, right. I was just like, I don't know if I should be buying food from this person. 00:25:29 Speaker 3: But now it's like a national brand. 00:25:31 Speaker 2: It might be it's got orange packed I mean yellow packaging, yellow packaging. I can't even remember what it's called. 00:25:36 Speaker 3: Okay, this is not a memorable nut spread. 00:25:40 Speaker 2: No, I'm not anti yet or it sounds like I am, but I'm just not rocked by it. 00:25:45 Speaker 3: So nobody's really unlocked the secret to its spread. I would love for that to happen. I would eat it all the time. 00:25:51 Speaker 2: You could release it with the vinegars. 00:25:54 Speaker 3: Oh that's interesting. I start with vinegars. Yeah, and then once we get a foothold in the grocery aisle. Yeah, suddenly we've got whatever winegar ha'ze on that spread exactly. 00:26:06 Speaker 2: It's quite perfic name for you know, pantry goods. 00:26:13 Speaker 3: I think my I'm not I think they're like my dad's second cousins. But they had a grocery store called Winegers. 00:26:19 Speaker 2: See. But I did get to be like where you get stuff from? 00:26:23 Speaker 3: It does sound like a place where you would get yeah, but I didn't get to be involved, and they've already had the idea. 00:26:28 Speaker 2: They cut you out, they cut me. What happened to it? 00:26:32 Speaker 3: I think they were just distant relatives, so they weren't quite related enough for us to be able to, you know, say, we're part of the. 00:26:40 Speaker 2: As far as I know. Oh my god. 00:26:42 Speaker 3: But I think it's like a small like a mini chaining. 00:26:45 Speaker 2: Do they make their own products so they just are purveyor I. 00:26:48 Speaker 3: Guess is it's kind of like a vanz or Ralph situation where it's just national brands. 00:26:53 Speaker 2: Why is John's and it's the same fine, I mean. 00:26:57 Speaker 3: It's you know the tears of grocery stores when you get to a John's. Things are not in a great place, and it's always so confusing for me because it's not that much. I don't think it's even cheaper at all than Vons. 00:27:11 Speaker 2: Right, and they do have the same fun right. 00:27:13 Speaker 3: I don't know if Fonns and Johns are owned by the same company. 00:27:16 Speaker 2: I know Vons. 00:27:17 Speaker 3: Well, we're bringing up there's apparently like a mega merger about to happen between Vons and this. 00:27:24 Speaker 2: Is like Discovery or whatever happened for explosively I'm not promoting them, by the way. 00:27:31 Speaker 3: Well, oh yeah, absolutely. 00:27:33 Speaker 2: Our mergers are stupid, They're horrible. Stop merging, please stop merging, disrupting everything can merge vinegar and nut paste. Okay, I'll put that on my list. 00:27:45 Speaker 3: I mean, we're all gonna have to find something else to do. 00:27:47 Speaker 2: I know, it's a rough time and not find well. I did well. I found three thousand dollars. Yeah, you did find three thousands, which was good considering. I'm not earning a cent right now, right, because it's right right, you're out there picketing strikes plural, yeah, double stroke. I do pick it. I don't like picketing. Well, it's not a fun thing to do. I like walking, but I don't like running into people. 00:28:13 Speaker 3: Ooh, and not only running into people, but then having your bit of small talk and then running into them again. 00:28:21 Speaker 2: It's the same. And now you have nothing to say. Oh, and guess what. Netflix is the worst place to pick it. Oh, it's such a small space. It's such a small space. It's a conveyor belt system. It's a narrow sidewalk. You cannot avoid eye contact with anyone. You will see everyone fifty thousand times. It is bad. 00:28:41 Speaker 3: Yes, it's a do you drive no? Okay, Well then you may not know this feeling, well you might. It's the feeling of like you see a friend on the road, or you both leave the same place and then you pull up to the red light and then you're looking at each other and you don't know if you should acknowledge the other person. 00:28:55 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're in a private space. Yeah, that's why you wear a very big hat and sunglasses. And often I'll just hold the placard in front of my face. I just I just like to have an option about whether or not you're a seating. You know what I mean, right, And I just feel like that's ripped out of my hands. On the picket line, Well, depending on where you pick. 00:29:18 Speaker 3: It, I will say there's a We won't even say the company because I don't want to mention them on the podcast. 00:29:23 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was. I promote Netflix. What they're doing Netflix. 00:29:29 Speaker 3: No, that's not promotional. They're you know, they're they're making things difficult. Yes, there's another company that's also making things difficult in Burbank. No, that's another company that's making things difficult. But the walk at this other company I'm referencing is a nice walk through a neighborhood. 00:29:48 Speaker 2: Ah, that's good. 00:29:49 Speaker 3: Yes, and it's like a mile around. 00:29:52 Speaker 2: Is this the one where there's a famous mouse? 00:29:57 Speaker 3: Is that the company that's a strong possible, very strong, And I won't confirm it, but they've personally tried to not pay me. Oh what there was I was in a seven year battle. One of the companies were discussing how dare they and it was over the smallest amount of money you can imagine for seven years, but they just don't want to pay people. Yeah, let's stop talking about the strike. There's something that's even more upsetting. I want to talk about. Okay, what I was very excited to have you on the podcast today. I was thrilled you were coming over. I thought we would have a nice chat and then we would, you know, just go our separate ways. 00:30:39 Speaker 2: Fond memories. Yeah, so I was a. 00:30:41 Speaker 3: Little surprised the podcast is called. I said no gifts, and I looked down the driveway and here you come trotting up holding what's couldn't be more clearly a gift? 00:30:55 Speaker 2: Oh is this for me? 00:30:57 Speaker 1: It is for you. 00:30:58 Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. I'm mortified. I was already mortified. I'm six minutes late. 00:31:05 Speaker 3: Wow, I can imagine I was. 00:31:07 Speaker 2: I felt bad. That stresses me out. Altho're really in the big picture, it doesn't matter. But those people don't care. But do you sort of resent me a little bit now? I mean for multiple reasons. Yeah, the gift and the lightnings. 00:31:19 Speaker 3: Right, and who knows what else you're going to do today. I know you've got another plan. Yeah, you're gonna spit. 00:31:29 Speaker 2: In my face. I'm just going to drink my water against the microphone with the IC I'm going to move the microphone. 00:31:36 Speaker 3: Okay, So you brought this gift. It's clearly a gift for me. It's in a beautiful brown box, cardboard box, Yes, kind of a traditional wrap. 00:31:45 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:31:46 Speaker 3: Should I open it here on the podcast? 00:31:47 Speaker 2: I wish you would please. 00:32:10 Speaker 4: Be careful. 00:32:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a decent weight that opening I'm reaching in. I'm not looking yet. I'm feeling something that's kind of. 00:32:19 Speaker 2: Cylinder cylindrical for sure. 00:32:22 Speaker 3: Oh, yes, it's beautiful cylinder pot. 00:32:27 Speaker 2: Did you make this? I did paint it. This is gorgeous than for flowers? 00:32:34 Speaker 3: What Spatula's what's. 00:32:36 Speaker 2: Feeling out to you? Because it could be flowers. 00:32:40 Speaker 3: I feel like this is flowers for me, but it could. 00:32:43 Speaker 2: It's a hold all catsule. 00:32:45 Speaker 1: Right. 00:32:46 Speaker 3: Wow, where did you paint it? 00:32:48 Speaker 2: I painted it at Glaze Fire, you. 00:32:50 Speaker 3: Know, yeah, because it was uh it was like the last night I last night out I had before the pandemic. 00:32:57 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 00:32:58 Speaker 3: Yeah. I had to go up my fired good, which was a mug that says Thailand all on it. 00:33:04 Speaker 2: Gorgeous, you know, in masks and stuff. 00:33:07 Speaker 3: So it was it was a weird transition place for me. But you went to Glaze Fire. 00:33:12 Speaker 2: I did. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's sort of called and what it's called. And I went I did make it about six years ago. Six Oh, so it was an antique maybe seven. Wow, this could be appraised, Yeah, it could be. It is a rip off. 00:33:29 Speaker 3: Oh you copied another artist I did, Platiress. 00:33:32 Speaker 2: I did because I was I this was the first time I ever went to glaze right, right, and I was I was. I was like, I don't know what to do. I've never thought about this, and so I decided to copy Clarice Cliff. Oh do you know her? No, I don't. She's dead. 00:33:48 Speaker 3: Okay, well then you could take whatever you want from her. 00:33:51 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's not going to do anything great, Robber. Yeah, so you did? 00:33:55 Speaker 3: You just look up online art. 00:33:58 Speaker 2: I think I think my mom's Clorice Cliff affairs. Okay, so I was like, those are cool, I'll copy her. And also simple sit of cubist shape, right, so I could probably copy it. And I think I've done a terrible job. 00:34:12 Speaker 3: Should I try looking it up? 00:34:14 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can look it up and you'll see what I'm going for and how I've absolutely not achieved it. 00:34:19 Speaker 3: There will be comparisons online at some point. Let's it Clarice Cliff. How do you spell that? 00:34:26 Speaker 2: CLA R I C and then Cliff like Cliff. 00:34:32 Speaker 3: Okay, there we go. Oh, I feel like you did a pretty decent show. 00:34:38 Speaker 2: What I'm going for and what I've noticed shed like the crooked lines are pathetic, the black outlines are just way too thick. 00:34:44 Speaker 3: Yeah, this feels like something she could have done when she was sick, exactly, Like she's not quite one hundred percent. 00:34:49 Speaker 2: So I was going for a sort of nineteen thirties cubist look, and then it actually kind of looks like seventies Christian folk art, so I and at first I was like, you know, it has a charm, and then more recently, I'm like, I don't want this, but I'm also worried. I don't like waste right and the idea of it just sort of going into the trash. No, I couldn't bear that. That we make me feel awful. And also no one's going to buy that. I can't donate that. No one's going to buy that. 00:35:28 Speaker 3: You're really underselling yourself this thing. I think this could be sold at a. 00:35:33 Speaker 2: From smart Hope you don't sell it. I'm going to keep it. What do you do with all the gifts? I keep them? I'm wording. 00:35:40 Speaker 3: I mean, it's gotten out of control. 00:35:42 Speaker 2: That's the problem is. 00:35:43 Speaker 3: Yes, I've brought a curse on my life in a it's not ideal. Yeah, because there are objects I get which can't be displayed in a home right No, like that just has to go in a cupboard. 00:35:56 Speaker 2: Not this day. And this is going to go in my kitchen, right of place, I should hope. 00:36:00 Speaker 3: I'm going to put it up either flowers or cooking utensils. 00:36:03 Speaker 2: It was in my kitchen. What was it holding? Well, it was up on a high shelf and I brought it down. I was shocked to find stuff in there, and there was two bags of tea okay, a few sharpies, some thread, and a key to an ex boyfriend's house. Oh I feel like that's a sign what I should get back together. I should break into his house. Yeah, I could really just leave two tea bags by weird coincidence, because you know, I found It's funny one of the biggest check that I had missed out on had been sent to his house and he hadn't told me this is what. 00:36:44 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well, good riddance. Then, I mean, did you find the key before the check or the check came after the key, because if you found it before after the check, key, Okay, So it wasn't like the universe saying, go there's something there for you. 00:37:00 Speaker 1: No, it wasn't. 00:37:01 Speaker 3: It was kind of a failure on everyone's part. So now I'm curious what you did with the key? 00:37:09 Speaker 2: Left it on this table? What are you meant to do with keys? Right? 00:37:14 Speaker 3: They're kind of scary. I'm always like worried that like one of the keys will fall off of my keychain and then some enterprising criminal will just go throughout Los Angeles trying it on every door, every door, right, and then imagine he hits the door. That's correct, turns it? Oh, maybe as a heart attack from the excitement. 00:37:33 Speaker 2: Well, because there's so many objects in your house, Yeah, maybe you could take them off my hand. Yeah, what's the biggest thing you've been given? 00:37:41 Speaker 3: The largest objects? 00:37:42 Speaker 2: Yeah? What would that be? 00:37:45 Speaker 3: Oh, recently, somebody gave me a bag full of pipes for a badminton set. 00:37:52 Speaker 2: Okay, what do you mean what do you need pipes for? 00:37:55 Speaker 3: Well, they're like the metal tubes to settle, but not a complete set. No, So now I just own all of these metal tubes. 00:38:04 Speaker 2: It's one of my it might be my favorite sport. I thank you. It's so gentle, it's so nice. It's pleasant, there's no panic, you don't need to be good at running around. 00:38:15 Speaker 3: Nothing's going to hit you. 00:38:16 Speaker 2: Nope, it's very light. It kind of makes you feel like you're floating. It's really a lovely sport. 00:38:22 Speaker 3: It's my favorite sport as well. Wow, I mean it's kind of the only sport I can play with any level of skill exactly. 00:38:28 Speaker 2: I mean I wouldn't even say that for me, not about you. I don't know. 00:38:32 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't know that I have skill, But but. 00:38:34 Speaker 2: You don't feel terrible at it right, and like when. 00:38:37 Speaker 3: People invite me to play, I'm not like, oh, I'm kind of ruining the game. 00:38:40 Speaker 2: I'm ruining it because I'm so bad. 00:38:42 Speaker 1: Right. 00:38:42 Speaker 2: But I did find out why I'm bad at sport recently. What one of my legs is longer than the other. 00:38:47 Speaker 3: How much longer? 00:38:48 Speaker 2: I don't think that much longer, because I think everyone would have noticed by now, you know, certain me in particular. But it's more just because of that. It means when I run, one of my knees hurts, one legs hitting the ground first. One of my legs is much stronger than the other, which one the left because it's the shorter leg, so it touches the ground first. Wait, no, that it does well because it's like the sort of in a tripod, the long legs kind of out there just doing nothing. 00:39:20 Speaker 3: When you have your prehensile tail exactly, so. 00:39:22 Speaker 2: It's like the long legs just got to sort of you know, spread out, okay, but the short leg is like, I'm gonna take the take the load. 00:39:32 Speaker 3: Was this discovered by like a physical therapist. 00:39:34 Speaker 2: A man at a gym, a trainer, because I was like, what's wrong with me? 00:39:38 Speaker 3: And he told me let's measure those games. 00:39:40 Speaker 2: Well, He's like, look, your knees sort of turning out to compensate. 00:39:44 Speaker 3: Wow, And I bet it's probably like a millimeter. 00:39:48 Speaker 2: Yeah, it can't be much. Right, I've recently. 00:39:51 Speaker 3: Discovered my left foot is bigger than my right. 00:39:53 Speaker 2: Oh. I think one of my feet's bigger too. 00:39:55 Speaker 3: That's normal though, Yeah, I think that's normal. It's because and I know because whenever there's a whole in my shoes, it's always the exact spot on the left. 00:40:02 Speaker 2: Where is it? It's like right here? Oh at the front? 00:40:06 Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow, So it's a shoe ruinner. 00:40:09 Speaker 4: Yeah, because I'm not going you need to get a sho spreader, but for long ways, yeah. 00:40:14 Speaker 2: You can do that. I bought one. How does that mean? I noticed it one of my feet wider than the other one, and I didn't like feeling the shoe on the left side of my foot. I was like, I cannot tolerate this sensation. 00:40:30 Speaker 3: And did you use it for every shoe? Well? 00:40:31 Speaker 2: Then I started buying big is shoes and I was like, these shoes are too big and they fly off my feet. So I need to still need to wear the same size shoe, right, but I need the shoe to be wider on the left side. 00:40:41 Speaker 3: Well, a lot of shoes are sold with the wide version, aren't they. 00:40:45 Speaker 2: Yes, But I don't need that. Oh it's too Yeah, that's too wide. Oh it's crazy. 00:40:51 Speaker 3: Who's deciding how wide it needs? 00:40:52 Speaker 2: A secrets about my body on this podcast? 00:40:56 Speaker 3: Really just laying it all out. 00:40:58 Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone's going to know about my your big foot in the sizes little feet, but one is wider. 00:41:06 Speaker 1: The shoes. 00:41:07 Speaker 3: So did you use the shoes spread on every pair of shoes you have? 00:41:10 Speaker 2: No, just some sneakers, Okay, leather sneakers so you can stretch them. 00:41:14 Speaker 3: Right, it has to be leather, yeah, because like the shoe I'm wearing right now is a canvas that's not going to spread. 00:41:19 Speaker 2: I don't think it would, although it might, but not in a way with the fabric would wear and eventually test. 00:41:24 Speaker 3: Right, that feels more like it. 00:41:25 Speaker 2: But I was trying to formulate of sort of like a perfect wardrobe for a trip, So I was like, it has to be these sneakers. 00:41:33 Speaker 3: What was the rest of the outfit, Well, that was. 00:41:38 Speaker 2: It wasn't an outfit. It was like, these are the sneakers I'm taking. Oh, these sneakers are sort of straightforward enough that they'll go with everything. 00:41:46 Speaker 3: We're on a plane, right, okay, Yeah, that's a planning for a trip. Shoes become a real problem. Yeah, especially if you're going somewhere where you're going to be walking a lot. You're thinking, I want comfortable shoes, but then. 00:41:57 Speaker 2: Exactly at some point you want to look decent. Yeah, it turned out I didn't. I didn't need to look decent. I did bring like a slightly nice issue okay for dinners that I imagined, but then ultimately you just want to be comfortable and you're walking, you know, if you're on holiday in Italy. That's where I'm going, Grease, I'm going to Italy. I can tell you what to do what I don't want to. I don't want to check a bag. Oh yeah, friend did that. 00:42:26 Speaker 3: We're going to roam Florence and Sorrento. 00:42:29 Speaker 2: Ooh the tips I give you, I could give you good tips. I'm going to need them. 00:42:34 Speaker 3: Any advice, Yeah, I mean we feel I feel like this could be an off podcast thing. 00:42:39 Speaker 2: People to travel plan to really talk about this. Okay, so you. 00:42:44 Speaker 3: Ended up just wanting the comfortable shoes though, Yeah. Interesting maybe I'll just take comfortable shoes and deal with that. 00:42:49 Speaker 2: I'm talking more about like I wore I had a sneaker to sandals. No, I you know what I did. I took three pairs of sandals, flat sand, flat sandals, but all comfortable, okay, okay, and some nice that could be worn to dinner. But I didn't ultimately want anything with I have nothing with bigger than a low heel. But even that was like, forget about it. So you shouldn't have brought those. 00:43:13 Speaker 3: Oh interesting, I feel like sandals are a. 00:43:15 Speaker 2: Must for grease. What time of year are you going? September fifteenth? Okay, so it might not be boiling hot, right, whereas it was boiling hot when I was there. 00:43:25 Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I think it'll be mild, so a covered shoe is not so crazy, right right. 00:43:31 Speaker 3: A few years ago, I went to Japan with one pair of shoes that had a hole in them. Oh it was raining NonStop, no soaked feet for probably four days. I ended up having to buy flip flops, which I didn't realize that the time had these hard bubbles as a surface that you stood on. That led to another foot problem, so I ended up having to buy two separate pairs of sandals. Why didn't I buy shoes? 00:43:53 Speaker 2: Yeah, you did, bought some shoes, splashed out. 00:43:56 Speaker 3: Maybe I was worried about going into a Japanese shoe store, didn't know if I'd be able to handle. 00:44:00 Speaker 2: I went into an Italian shoe store to buy biggest sneakers on a previous trip. 00:44:04 Speaker 3: Oh, okay to Rome. 00:44:06 Speaker 2: Did you get them? Yeah? And they're too big for me. But ultimately I just couldn't have this shoe. There's a noise. 00:44:12 Speaker 3: The school is having an announcement, the principals telling the children to do something. 00:44:17 Speaker 2: Can you tell what you're saying? 00:44:19 Speaker 3: No? I never can really understand what the announcements are there. The school schedule is baffling. Really, the children are there like two days a week. 00:44:29 Speaker 2: It seems. Okay, I have no idea. What you know what kind of school it is. 00:44:32 Speaker 3: It's an elementary school. 00:44:33 Speaker 2: Hmm. That seems like one of the most important ones to go to daily. 00:44:37 Speaker 3: What do you call elementary school in Australia? 00:44:39 Speaker 2: Primary school? Primary and we just go from kindergarten to grade six, okay, and we call it year six and then we have high school which is year seven to year twelve. Wow, that's it, you guys, it's much more complicated. 00:44:54 Speaker 3: Well, we have a nice middle step for the most horrible years. 00:44:57 Speaker 2: You don't need it, I think you absolutely, he doesn't. I don't like it because sometimes I will say, talk about something that happened to me in high school, and I will know I'll be like, they think I'm talking about when I was seventeen, when I was fourteen. 00:45:14 Speaker 3: But didn't you feel like from what seventh grade starts at thirteen two and then ninth grade ends at about fifteen? Those years are so awful as a person, and you're surrounded by older people who are kind of beyond them. 00:45:28 Speaker 2: At that point. Yeah, they look like adults. Right? 00:45:31 Speaker 3: Was that? Did that cause any discomfort? 00:45:33 Speaker 1: Uh? 00:45:35 Speaker 2: Sure, everything causes discomfort. I remember studying primary school and thinking the grade six people looked like they were forty five years. 00:45:46 Speaker 3: Well, that's true, and your teachers seemed like they were ninety seven. 00:45:49 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:45:50 Speaker 3: Right, And then you look back and you're like, oh, they were thirty two. 00:45:52 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. 00:45:53 Speaker 2: Disturbing. It's a bad feeling. 00:45:55 Speaker 3: It's not a good feeling, very very bad feeling. Have you ever painted other stuff? 00:46:00 Speaker 2: I have nicer things, nicer some worse. Well, I stopped going. I don't want to say I'll never go again. It's a great place, and now I feel bad, but just because like they never had thing like ceramics of shapes I wanted to own. Because when I first was going, they had like big platters, they had big plates, big bowls, and you know, even this cylinder is not so bad. But now it just feels like it's like everything's a weird specific thing where it's like, this is a paint tray. Oh almost nicknapped a tea cup in the shape of a frog. I'm like, I don't want I don't want that. But maybe it's I haven't been back for a while. That feels like a move to get more people in the store, to make more Specializedeah. 00:46:47 Speaker 3: It's like a novel. It feels more like a novelty. 00:46:50 Speaker 2: They should reacing bit plan because if I could make a gorgeous big plate, I'd be back. 00:46:56 Speaker 3: Well, but do you know what's happening. Throwing pottery is now this thing everybody wants to do. Yeah, so I think that they're probably like, well, those people people who want the big things are just making them the. 00:47:06 Speaker 2: I don't want to do that I can't do that. I'm even breathing of it. I hate the sound of dry ceramics. Oh, glazed ceramics, I hate it even you have to deal with them at glaze fire as well, And that's why I don't go. It's too dry against skin, too awful when it's scraping against another face. 00:47:29 Speaker 3: Even setting it down on the table. No, a dry paint brush going against it. 00:47:34 Speaker 2: No, thank you, luck. 00:47:35 Speaker 3: I took a ceramics class in high school that I was awful, So there's no way I'm going to be able to do it. 00:47:40 Speaker 2: Now, I know. And you can do. Go down to Macy's buy a plate. Yeah, just use this. You could use this as like a big cup. I think fill that with ice and a root beer gorgeous or like soup in the winter. 00:47:53 Speaker 3: Oh no, this is a terrible soup thing. 00:47:56 Speaker 2: Why is that this fall of boiling hot soup? Soup? Cylander? 00:48:02 Speaker 3: And then you're like you would the spoon would have to be like three feet long. 00:48:06 Speaker 2: I think you're drinking directly out of it a gaspacho. Oh yeah, I ate pomadoro. Recently, I froze it in batches because I was like, I can't eat all of this right. And I was defrosting something the other day and I ate some frozen palmadoro. It was delicious. Was it like a hard frozen It was sort of like halfway between like a liquid and a solid. So it sounds doesn't that sound nice? It was delicious. How much did you refreshing about two tables fish? 00:48:38 Speaker 3: Oh? Okay, that's not that much. I feel like if you got into meal level eating that, you would get sick. 00:48:43 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I don't think you would get sick. 00:48:45 Speaker 3: Well, you would feel you'd be like, oh, this doesn't taste good anymore. 00:48:51 Speaker 2: More than that. I did use the rest on past or. I hated it up. 00:48:55 Speaker 3: Although I will say, a nice red sauce you probably could just fill a bowl with that and I would eat it. 00:48:59 Speaker 2: Yeah. How is it not soup? 00:49:01 Speaker 1: Yeah? 00:49:01 Speaker 3: Just kind of an elevated tomato soup. 00:49:03 Speaker 2: What's the difference. 00:49:04 Speaker 3: I don't think there's the difference. I guess consistency is slightly. 00:49:08 Speaker 2: Thicker in a soup pasty some soups. Oh for the sauce, it's pasty. 00:49:13 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost like I feel like with almost every soup it will go through a mesh. 00:49:20 Speaker 2: Okay, this went through a mesh. 00:49:23 Speaker 3: It did, Yeah, at what point after it was made. 00:49:26 Speaker 2: After I'd cooked all the tomatoes for about an hour, then I pushed it through a mesh to make a beautiful thick But. 00:49:34 Speaker 3: Now do you think if you poured it into a mesh with it go through the mesh? 00:49:37 Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, So my theory is just to keep the seeds and the skin's back. But then I kept them because I thought they tasted good. And I put them in an air that container, and I'd been putting them on. I made an omelet and I put them on. It was delicious. 00:49:52 Speaker 3: You mix the skin into an omelet. 00:49:54 Speaker 2: Yeah, you scattered them on top. 00:49:56 Speaker 3: It was it was. 00:49:58 Speaker 2: It was something i'd say on the Jerry. You put rice paper in a pan and then you pour an egg onto the rice paper and then I put some cheese on that and the tomatoes skins. Right, it was great. 00:50:10 Speaker 3: And then do you roll it up? 00:50:12 Speaker 2: You fold it over? Okay, so because of the rice paper, the eggs not making contact with the pan, and then you fold it over and then you cut it up and you have it in triangles. Oh that sounds lovely. It was really good. I wonder Sorry, we're talking about food. 00:50:27 Speaker 3: So now I love to talk about food, and this this new like thing with making these tricks to make food on. 00:50:33 Speaker 2: YouTube or whatever. Yeah, they're often stupid. 00:50:35 Speaker 3: They're almost always stupid. Yeah, occasionally you find one like this. 00:50:39 Speaker 2: I liked that, But will I ever do it again? Don't know? Did you enjoyed it? But I love rice paper yum. 00:50:45 Speaker 4: Just as a snack, no, okay, but just as a wrapping, wrapping for things like a spring roll. 00:50:51 Speaker 2: Yeah, love that. Even though Vietnamese food tends to be a little sweet for me and I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but there are really delicious things in there. 00:51:02 Speaker 3: Right, are you making a spring roll at home? 00:51:05 Speaker 2: I could, I've got less of rice paper. What are you making with these? 00:51:08 Speaker 1: Well? 00:51:08 Speaker 2: Just that omelet. I just sat a whole package of rice paper. I was like, I want it, I want to try it. Well, then you certainly have to make more of it. Yeah I will, or I'll just make spring rolls, or I'll make you know, a dumpling or something. Oh interesting. 00:51:21 Speaker 3: Both of those in way harder, not for me, you know, they seem more difficult than just dumping an egg on. 00:51:28 Speaker 2: Oh definitely that is more complicated. The egg thing is very straightforward. 00:51:33 Speaker 3: Do you think the person that shared that online it was like an old family recipe or were they like, I've got to think of something to show. 00:51:38 Speaker 2: On it's being represented as a Vietnamese omelet, but it's not. 00:51:42 Speaker 1: But like. 00:51:43 Speaker 2: It's not in a tradit like if you go to a Vietnamese restaurant that isn't a Vietnamese omelet. It's a different thing. But I think because rice paper is associated with Vietnamese food. But I don't know. I just don't know. And that's why the Internet is such a scary place, because you don't know where things are coming from, what's the what's the history. 00:52:03 Speaker 3: You have no idea hopping up that you could have fifty other YouTube videos that are not cooking exactly. It could be anything. Yeah, you got to watch yourself. And who knows where the egg video is going to lead? 00:52:16 Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be somewhere. Really die. 00:52:19 Speaker 3: I mean, I've spoken about this on this podcast before, but like on Instagram occasion, I'll click on a recipe weird looking ones and now that's all I see is disgusting recipes. It's fun when you're in the mood. Sometimes you want to see something decent. 00:52:32 Speaker 2: I spend a lot of my time just looking like creamy pasta. 00:52:40 Speaker 3: I have a lot of baked goods. I have, you know, a whole other account where I just follow bakeries. Really, yes, what's the what's the handle Shauna Ontario. But it's a private account, so forget it. You're not getting it. 00:52:55 Speaker 2: I bet I could, you're going to do it? It was I basically made it. 00:53:05 Speaker 3: My sister demanded I make it in order to see things because I don't post personal photos exactly usually online, so she wanted to see my life on occasion. 00:53:14 Speaker 2: That's nice. 00:53:14 Speaker 3: So it's basically her and my boyfriend at this point. And then I call that I just said me. 00:53:22 Speaker 2: Suddenly, horrible comments on every boost hate this? 00:53:27 Speaker 3: Kill yourself? No, uh, no, one's getting into Sean Ontario. Wow, but oh now I'm probably gonna get a bunch of horrible requests. 00:53:35 Speaker 2: Yeah, you've revealed on quite private. 00:53:38 Speaker 3: Oh how's that going to pan out? Well, it doesn't matter, you just have. 00:53:41 Speaker 2: You can just ignore everyone. 00:53:43 Speaker 3: I'll just click the notification thing and they'll vanish and then I can move on with my Oh, it's going to be a little less exciting to go to that account now. But I'm willing to embrace it. 00:53:53 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's good. You might like it because you'll see the real bridge heads. Who's going to come knocking? You're privat inhut? How scary? 00:54:05 Speaker 3: All if it's hacked into, Oh, it's gonna be bad. But we're embracing. 00:54:08 Speaker 2: We are embracing, very embracing what happens the bake. Yeah, I want to. I wish I could follow it. 00:54:18 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I have this beautiful part which I kind of I think I am going to put baking goods in there. Then I'll think of you every time I'm making cookies. 00:54:26 Speaker 2: That's nice, Yeah, because you're watch what the. 00:54:30 Speaker 3: Current one that's holding spatulist is a very just like. 00:54:33 Speaker 2: A metal thing, right, nondescript? Can I have that? Take it away? 00:54:38 Speaker 3: You're not gonna want it your I don't want it. 00:54:40 Speaker 2: I've got too many vases. This make this will make me sound conceited. But you get sent flowers on occasion, especially when you live in a foreign country. It works in show business. Reps feel legally obliged to send you a bunch of flowers on your birthday, or the least they can do. It's the a rock body. 00:55:01 Speaker 3: Unfortunately the bear men. 00:55:03 Speaker 2: It's the baarest of minimums. But often they come in a vase and then you have a vase and I don't need that many vass at all. 00:55:13 Speaker 3: Donate them to Goodwill. The Internet's going to now shame you into donating those. 00:55:17 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I want to back the truck up to down. I just want told I see these videos online where like anything you send to Goodwill just goes to the dump. None of it's real. If you donate clothes, they just go straight to the and it sort of really stresses me out. Well, how are they stalking their stores? It's just some of the stuff, but it's just it's the tip of the iceberg. 00:55:40 Speaker 3: Well, you should take yours to I think there's a place called bridge Thrift. 00:55:44 Speaker 2: Do you own it? 00:55:45 Speaker 1: I know that. 00:55:46 Speaker 2: I'm saying that, like, how is that? Not? Where is it? 00:55:48 Speaker 3: I think there's one in Highland Park Okay, newly opened, had a beautiful organ I wanted to do. 00:55:54 Speaker 2: Might have brought a bunch of stuff with me headed over after. 00:55:57 Speaker 3: There's going to be a huge influx in the vase market in Highland Park. Yes, inflation, A lot. 00:56:04 Speaker 2: Of medium to small vases. 00:56:08 Speaker 3: Everybody can use one. I think I have about five, and I like a rotation. 00:56:11 Speaker 1: You do. 00:56:12 Speaker 3: That's good, although one of them is one that I think looks more like a grandma vase, and not in like a the stereotypical grammar, more in like a tasteless Oh not that grandmas are tasteless taste. I'm really putting painting myself into a corner. 00:56:25 Speaker 2: See what is OOKI It's like white. 00:56:28 Speaker 3: And kind of an angular top, almost like a V neckt. Oh, I think that's what it reminds me of. 00:56:35 Speaker 2: I'm pretty anti v neckte. 00:56:37 Speaker 3: Well, they had their day and then immediately didn't. And now any photo of someone in a V neck t looks like it's a thousand years old. Yeah, it's bad, and to put one on now you would feel so scary. 00:56:47 Speaker 2: It's bad. 00:56:48 Speaker 3: But look brace yourself for probably I would say three to five years away from that being a new from that coming back in really oh yeah, because what they were like an I would say problem two to ten. 00:57:02 Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, I definitely had some. Of course I had some, but also Henley's. 00:57:08 Speaker 3: You don't like a Henley. No, I don't mind a Henley. 00:57:10 Speaker 2: I don't like them. 00:57:13 Speaker 3: Sorry, Kenley, looks like a winter shirt to me. 00:57:16 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it also just looks like it's like to me, it's like the funniest neckline. Because at first it was like hearkening back to the Donner Party, right, this canniball chic. Yeah exactly, and you're like, oh, this goes under my clothes, and now I'm just wearing it out and I don't know, I just think they're so silly. I think they're really silly. 00:57:40 Speaker 3: I will say I own one, and anytime I put it on, I'm like, I feel a little too exposed. 00:57:44 Speaker 2: Yeah, who am I? 00:57:45 Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like almost like underwear. 00:57:47 Speaker 2: It's meant to be underwear. It's fake underwear. But I look great in this Henley. Well, that's what I think it is. They must be flattering and that's why everyone's like, well, I'm gonna wear it, right, Okay? 00:57:58 Speaker 3: Well in my mind, yeah, but v NeXT's I would we're probably like thirteen years into the cycle. Yeah, I feel like you seventeen years is seventeen to twenty is when they start to come back. 00:58:13 Speaker 2: Wouldn't you say, Yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be You're gonna be a one. No, wait, I promise you I won't. 00:58:20 Speaker 3: I mean, this is what I'm saying about. Like wide leg jeans. I'm not putting those back on. 00:58:24 Speaker 2: They can't work for my figure. They don't work for anyone's I think they do. No, they don't. 00:58:30 Speaker 3: They do currently because we've accepted the idea that they're back in style. Yeah, but in five years everyone will look at them. 00:58:37 Speaker 2: Jeans are really hard for me. What cut of jean are you? I honestly, I don't have a pair of jeans that I wear. I own Geane. But you won't put them on pretty much, No, because they're so uncomfortable. 00:58:54 Speaker 3: Oh, I find them very comfortable. 00:58:56 Speaker 2: It's just the shape of my body. They're not for me. Interesting. It's because I've got narrow hips and stead of like a bigger stomach and a long leg. So it's just really tricky to find a shape that's like actually doing anything good for me. So what's your pant material? I don't wear pants. I don't wear pants. 00:59:15 Speaker 3: You never wear pants? 00:59:16 Speaker 2: Well, I love to wear this is what I've been doing recently, and this is crazy. Well, it's very it's summer, it's very hot. Right, shorts, right, now everyone's I'm wearing shorts. 00:59:28 Speaker 3: I feel so exposed in a short. But what are you going to do? 00:59:31 Speaker 1: Me too? 00:59:32 Speaker 2: But kind of fine, Yeah, I like it, although I've got a lot of mosquito bites. 00:59:39 Speaker 3: Of course, I feel like there's a mosquito currently flying through the air. 00:59:42 Speaker 2: And they love me. But I've been doing something cuckoo with the movie what. I've been going there in a skirt and I've been putting sweats on when I arrived because I just want to be so comfy. 01:00:00 Speaker 3: You wear a skirt until sweats. 01:00:02 Speaker 2: In casey Affleck was there, so I was, well, he would have seen me in the sweats. But I think he's isn't he troubled or yeah? 01:00:09 Speaker 3: And he seems like someone who's wearing sweats. 01:00:11 Speaker 2: I mean he deserves to see me in Yes, absolutely, but it is a strange development. But I will, you know, only with certain people would I be like, I'm gonna have to change because I don't want to put jeans on. The jeans hurt. 01:00:25 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, what other material. There's a twill, there's a. 01:00:27 Speaker 2: Corduroy, but no pants. Really, you just don't like the shape of a pant. I think pants are great on people, but I put them on. I'm overwhelmed by pants. Visually, I look overwhelmed. It doesn't you look great? 01:00:43 Speaker 3: I mean you have to. You just have to follow your own pant journey. 01:00:47 Speaker 2: It's just like, ultimately, everything else looks better on me than pants, so I'm gonna opt for everything else. 01:00:55 Speaker 3: It's good to know these things about ourselves. Yeah, and then you just embrace it and move on exactly. I think we should play a game. Okay, We're gonna play a game called Gift to a Curse. Okay, I need a number between one and ten from you. Two. Okay, I have to do some I like that number of choice. Why nobody ever basically goes below four? Well, look at me, go, I have to do some light calculating. Right now, I've got to find our game pieces. So right now, you can't promote anything unless it has nothing to do with the guilds. But you can recommend something. 01:01:26 Speaker 2: A recipe of a recipe. Well, I've already told the Onwark recipe. You could look at the work of Clerice Cliff. That's something nice thing to do. It's really hard. 01:01:41 Speaker 3: It's a nice recommendation. It's hard to recommend things It's very hard for. 01:01:47 Speaker 2: Me when it's built into you the thing to recommend is your job. Now you mustn't, right, It is like who am I? 01:01:57 Speaker 3: But I even find recommending things just that I like in general, is a very vulnerable place to be. 01:02:03 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I mean I'm never going to show anyone a video from the internet. Oh that is extremely high stakes. It's weird that some people do like doing that and watching you watch them. I would say most people. It's so weird for me sending somebody a video, I would be panicked. I once had a meeting with someone and it was a long time ago, and I was very excited to meet this person because I was like a big fan of this person. And they showed me a clip of their TV show on their laptop, which they turned around to face me, and we were at a two person table and they watched me watch it. 01:02:45 Speaker 3: That is mortifying. 01:02:47 Speaker 2: It was completely crazy. 01:02:49 Speaker 3: That person is out of their mind. That is you don't do anything like that. Was it something you had to laugh at? 01:02:58 Speaker 2: Yes? Oh no, but also not even just off like they were like, this is the funniest thing you've ever seen. You'll die well. 01:03:06 Speaker 3: And the problem now is that even if it is the funniest scene ever, the social rule that's been broken has now made you so uncomfortable you can't laugh. 01:03:13 Speaker 2: It was bad, but I had to force it. 01:03:17 Speaker 3: It was the greatest acting job of your life. 01:03:19 Speaker 2: We didn't end up working together. 01:03:24 Speaker 3: Do I have anything to recommend? Is there anything happening in my life? I would recommend sitting normally on the couch. I didn't sit normally on the couch last night, and now my neck hurts. 01:03:33 Speaker 2: Oh what shape were you sitting in? 01:03:35 Speaker 3: I was sitting like this, kind of a slouched almost. 01:03:40 Speaker 2: That's the shape I'm generally. 01:03:42 Speaker 3: In, right where the neck is kind of the only thing being tilted, almost lying at an angle. 01:03:47 Speaker 2: Where's the TV in relation to your couch straight in front of me? You should be putting the television on the ceiling so you can just lie flat back. That's not a bad idea. It's probably much better if you're back and neck. Yeah, and it looks great, It looks really gorgeous. Well, because then you don't have the television taking up war. I might be the way of the future. 01:04:09 Speaker 3: But now anytime you have somebody over, they have to lie next to you to watch TV. 01:04:13 Speaker 2: Could be a great way to get something going. 01:04:17 Speaker 3: I'm going to put that in consideration. This is how we play gift to a curse. I'm going to name three things. You have to tell me if there are a gift or a curse and why, and then I'll tell you if you're right or wrong, because there are correct answers. Great number one. This is from a listener named Alison. Alison suggested gift to a curse bloody Mary's served with a bunch of food on top. 01:04:39 Speaker 2: Oh, I think they're a curse. Why? And this is crazy coming from me because you know, I ate frozen Pomodoro the other day, which essentially is a bloody Mary without alcohol in it. But I ordered one in Greece recently and there was too much food. There was literally like a block of cheese on the stick, and it was like, well, I'm not gonna eat my dinner now. I did. I ate a lot of food, but like, it just is too much of a job. I like bloody Mary, I like tomato juice and very pro tomato, but I don't want to like put a put an olive do a cup one thing. But yeah, we can't put a meal on the top of the glass. 01:05:18 Speaker 3: What other things other than cheese were on it? 01:05:20 Speaker 2: There was a there was cheese, like such a crazy amount of cheese and olives, maybe like a pickled onion. But it was just like get a grip. No way, it's a curse. It is a curse. 01:05:36 Speaker 3: Yes, I can't stand it any sort of drink when we're piling food, even though like a milkshake, like they're putting a donut on top of that. 01:05:43 Speaker 2: No, that's not what I ordered. 01:05:44 Speaker 3: To get that out of the way. 01:05:45 Speaker 2: I just want a delicious milkshake. Oh my god, I love a milkshake right now. Oh the best is that high cholesterol. 01:05:52 Speaker 3: Probably not on a brazil nut. 01:05:54 Speaker 2: This isn't a problem. 01:05:55 Speaker 3: Swallow one brazil nut and go have a shake. But yeah, when we're dumping and we always know that the food on top is probably not even the best quality because it's an afterthought. It's like a garnish. So it's now this weird distraction between me and the drink. 01:06:07 Speaker 2: Food drinks is meals. It's just frustrating. I love the taste of a good pinutolada, sure, but if it once again, it's a big commitment. Yeah, the drink itself a shake. It's a milkshake. It is a milkshake. 01:06:22 Speaker 3: And I guess it would probably dump a bunch of pineapple chunks on top of that or something which. 01:06:26 Speaker 2: Is less bad. It's fruit. 01:06:28 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's still a lot of food. 01:06:30 Speaker 2: It's still a lot. It's just a lot of I don't want to be fishing things out of a glass with my hand, just filthy. I just want to be able to tip it into my mouth. 01:06:39 Speaker 3: Yeah, you should be able to the cup should be able to approach your mouth, please, okay. Wonderfully played Number two. This is from a listener named Jesse. It says, when somebody parks directly next to you in an otherwise empty parking lot. 01:06:54 Speaker 2: That's weird. Why are they doing that? 01:06:55 Speaker 3: Gift or a curse? 01:06:56 Speaker 2: I say it's a curse, but also maybe it's someone nice, someone you want to meet. I mean, I can't imagine why it would ever be gift. Why is it a gift? It seems like it's a precursor to a prelude to assault. So I don't like it. Curse right, wrong? Wrong? As if why it's scary? 01:07:25 Speaker 3: It adds on this level of mystery and what's happening? 01:07:28 Speaker 2: Oh, you like fear. I like a little bit of it. 01:07:30 Speaker 3: It's like, Wow, this is something is happening. My heart is pacing. 01:07:36 Speaker 2: You are not a woman. 01:07:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is coming from a fant's perspective. 01:07:42 Speaker 2: Yeah, where fear is fun. 01:07:44 Speaker 3: Let's say, uh, let's just say in theory a gift. 01:07:52 Speaker 2: So you retract your you should retract your decision. 01:07:57 Speaker 3: Oh my god, I've never retracted a decision. Speaking shame. 01:08:01 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely a curse. Oh no, where do we go from here to the third option to the third question? 01:08:12 Speaker 3: There's no option. 01:08:13 Speaker 2: Oh, there's only two things to decide, whether they're give you a curse and either don't get to be three for some reason, the rule of threes no no, no, no, no, not gift a curse, only two. 01:08:24 Speaker 3: Be backed into a corner here, which is not comfortable for me. It's interesting, it is very interesting, and I I think I'm gonna have to take the the answer back. You've broken me. 01:08:41 Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, I mean. 01:08:44 Speaker 3: It's a it's a curse. 01:08:45 Speaker 2: It is a curse. 01:08:46 Speaker 3: I love the mystery. I mean I love the I'm thinking of the theoretical. Yes, we're in a film noir. Yeah, you're in your STUDI baker. Is that that car is called Suda baker. I don't those old cars. You pull up, somebody pulls up right next to you. There's an exchange of goods, briefcases passed back and forth. But in reality, unfortunately, it's a curse. And so now I am now negative one point on the go for the first time in history, which doesn't feel great. I'm sorry, we're giving you the point. Oh my god, two out of two. Number three. And this is another listener suggestion, gift or a curse. It's from someone inmed Lizzie baked falaffel. 01:09:30 Speaker 2: Baked falaffel because it's traditionally fried, right, I wouldn't say I've had baked falaffel. Right, So it feels awful answering this one, but I guess probably it's gonna make it lower cholesterol and chickpeas are good for you, right, So I'm gonna say it's a gift. 01:09:51 Speaker 3: Okay, I can confidently say this one's a curse. You got this one wrong. 01:09:56 Speaker 2: I don't mind. 01:09:59 Speaker 3: I think that just the food is a fried food. 01:10:02 Speaker 2: It's got to be fried. That's what makes it fun, is that it's got a crispy exterior, right, I mean, I agree, I just wanted to be nice to Lizzy. Although she's. 01:10:12 Speaker 3: For it, there's a good chance that she thinks they're terrible. 01:10:14 Speaker 2: It just feels like it might fall apart. 01:10:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't feel like you know, you'll want that like crust to form around otherwise it is just going to crumble in the peta or wherever it exactly finds itself. I think it's a bad idea. It's like a baked French fry. It's just no, thank you, No, We'll just find a different food to eat altogether. Okay, Well, you had an interest, you played an interesting game today. Thank you two out of three and you know, kind of a historical answer. 01:10:43 Speaker 2: So you get a score as well today I do, okay. 01:10:47 Speaker 3: Because until today I've been right on every single answer, right, so this could hopefully this isn't like, you know, a small crack that leads. 01:10:56 Speaker 2: To a huge breakdown of the podcast together. Yeah hmm, sorry, time to move into vinegar. 01:11:04 Speaker 3: Okay, this is the final segment of the podcast. I said no emails. People write in I said no gifts at gmail dot com. They've got questions galore. Okay, questions, the begging for advice. Will you help me answer a question? 01:11:17 Speaker 2: Absolutely? 01:11:18 Speaker 3: Okay, let's see here. Let's see here these ones are. We've got some long emails. Well, I'm just gonna read this and see what happens. I'm gonna read this quickly because this person went too far. Dear Bridge, you're an insightful guest. My morning routine to avoid working is to pick up coffee and go for a short drive. I frequently bring my dogs along with me so they can get a little tree at the coffee shop and then right around with their heads out the window. I have an eight year old pitbull and a half year old Doberman Beagle mixed. The details here, we're getting into the details. 01:11:46 Speaker 2: I've never heard that anyone described that anyone's age. 01:11:50 Speaker 3: Earlier this week, while driving the dogs, Doberman mix saw another dog that must have set her off because she jumped out of my car window. 01:11:58 Speaker 2: Okay, ooh. 01:11:59 Speaker 3: It was pretty clear that she knew she made a mistake because instead of running towards the dog, she panicked and just started running through the morning traffic on a pretty busy street in Draper, Utah. I'm from Utah, so I'm familiar with his city. Of course, every horrible outcome possible went through my head. I had been driving around the area looking for her for nearly four hours when my friend saw a picture of my dog safe in someone's car on one of those lost and found pages on Facebook. Not familiar, I guess that's a new thing on Facebook where people are just lost. Okay, that seems like a dark corner of Facebook. Within minutes, I was sobbing meeting this woman in a parking lot and was reunited with my dog. My dog was scared and had some beat up nails and pop heads, but thankfully it was otherwise injured. And we don't know where those injuries came from. So let's keep that in mind with my answer the question. Okay, so how do I thank this woman who saved my dog? She was taking her two little boys to a soccer game when she saved her from running in and out of traffic. She could have easily thought about getting her kids to soccer on time instead of helping my dog, and then who knows what would have happened. I only know her first name and phone number. M Okay, do I creepily ask her for her address so I can send her something? Any help you could provide would be appreciated. This woman is my hero, warmest regards, and I simply don't have the person's name. It got cut off when I copied it from the even my apologies to whoever this is. I guess we can say, Chelsea, let's call this person Chelsea. 01:13:21 Speaker 2: Assume Chelsea is not overall creepy. I don't think it's creepy to ask for this person's address. You've had a sort of intimate, horrific experience. I know you suspect the woman of you abusing that. 01:13:34 Speaker 3: Yes, I think something happened between the last dog and a delivery of the dogs. 01:13:39 Speaker 2: Not the injury of leaping out of a car into heavy traffic. 01:13:42 Speaker 3: No, absolutely, no, no, no, no, this this woman had did something. 01:13:47 Speaker 2: The story makes me sad because it makes me think of how car dependent America is. Just the idea that to avoid work in the morning, you go for a drive to get coffee. That that's sad. Why not go for a walk because probably this part of Utah is car dependent, dependent, extremely car dependent. That's that's just I want to say. 01:14:09 Speaker 3: When I met my parents, I walked to a coffee shop. 01:14:11 Speaker 2: It's a long walk. How long. It's probably a my mile. What's that I told you? 01:14:16 Speaker 3: I don't like it's twenty twenty two minute walk. 01:14:20 Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good that's a good amount. That's like on the edge of acceptable time to walk. 01:14:25 Speaker 3: But it is like a thing you have to actually plan around. Oh yeah, it's not a run to the coffee shop. 01:14:29 Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's not popping to the coffee shop right right? And are you walking on like a gigantic highway. 01:14:34 Speaker 3: Yeah, at one point you're basically on the side. 01:14:35 Speaker 2: Of a freeway. Well, that sucks. That's terrible, not a good feel. That's not okay, what are we doing? We need to restructure infrastructure. 01:14:45 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, this is a same thing with the metric system or trapped. 01:14:50 Speaker 2: It's just so, it's just I'm dismayed. That's the vine I really upset about. I think you can easily text this person. Well, so the question is just can you ask for the address or is it what should you? Don't think kind of what she should give? 01:15:04 Speaker 3: And the things we know about this person is that she neglected her children in order to save a dog, and there is a chance the dog something happened. Yeah, I don't want to say exactly, but something happened. 01:15:17 Speaker 2: Something happened. 01:15:18 Speaker 3: Maybe the dog was just trying to escape this woman when I was injured, exactly, But then what was she doing to make. 01:15:23 Speaker 2: It want to escape? 01:15:23 Speaker 3: It's the big question outside of neglecting her children. 01:15:27 Speaker 2: Yeah, and also, well we also know how children do soccer, because I was going to say a soccer ball. 01:15:33 Speaker 3: A separate soccer ball for play at home. 01:15:36 Speaker 2: Right, I'm assuming in Utah they've got big yards, very big yards, so they could practice it home. 01:15:42 Speaker 3: Right, that's the one details she's got. Yeah, how about some soccer jerseys. 01:15:47 Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe she doesn't know the size of the children. 01:15:50 Speaker 3: Soccer cake, Yeah, nice little soccer. 01:15:53 Speaker 2: Although you know not allergies weak allergies allergies. 01:15:57 Speaker 3: Right, right, Well, then I unfortun unless she shouldn't get her anything. 01:16:01 Speaker 2: A baked falafel. Maybe you can do it at home. You don't have to have the food to retreat. To receive food from a stranger, Oh, it's never fun. It has to be sealed. 01:16:12 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna I unfortunately, will not be eating it. Yeah, you know, it's just on like a flimsy paper plate and it could be poisoned. Yeah, who knows where this came from. 01:16:21 Speaker 2: So it can't be food unless it's Yeah, no, it can't be food. 01:16:25 Speaker 3: I feel like maybe a you know, maybe a picture of the dogs. 01:16:31 Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't want that. If I'd saved the dog, I'd be like, great, I don't care about the dog like you do. That's the weird assumption. 01:16:42 Speaker 3: Maybe she takes her out to a long dinner. 01:16:44 Speaker 2: A nightmare with a stranger. Oh my god, time you want to steal more of my time by thanking me by taking me to a meal. 01:16:54 Speaker 3: She doesn't want to be at home with the kids. I'm gonna say, not only a long dinner, a movie, and then after dinner we get drinks. 01:17:02 Speaker 2: This is crazy. 01:17:03 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the six and seven year old, they're trapped at home. 01:17:06 Speaker 2: They're dead. They're on the Facebook classes exactly. Wow, the Facebook loss group. That sounds spooky. I'm glad the dog's okay. 01:17:16 Speaker 3: Yes, we're happy. The dogs are okay. They sound adorable. 01:17:19 Speaker 2: Honestly, it's send flowers with the vase. Oh interesting, that's all. That's kind of all it is. 01:17:25 Speaker 3: Everybody can appreciate the flowers, and then if they have too many of the vases, they will outside of you responsibly take them. 01:17:33 Speaker 2: To a Exactly. If you're not me, you'll do the right thing. You'll do the right thing, beautifully answered. I think so, And I'm sorry for sort of judging American culture. Yeah, but I just think we've got to change it, and I don't know how where to start. Where are your answers? Your podcast is where I've chosen. 01:17:54 Speaker 3: This is a good platform, platform for change. 01:17:56 Speaker 2: I consider myself I'm happier when they just get to walk around. 01:18:01 Speaker 3: You do feel better when you walk around. Yeah, and your legs look better. 01:18:05 Speaker 2: They look fabulous, even if they're different length. 01:18:08 Speaker 3: Of course, any length of leg will look better with a little walk exactly. But you do what you want to do. It really doesn't matter. 01:18:16 Speaker 2: No, you don't do what you want to do because America's made it so you can't walk around. There's no footpaths anywhere. Sidewalks you might call around. 01:18:23 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean frequently sidewalk will just end, it ends, and then what do you do? What if you're you know, there's no way for you to keep moving? 01:18:30 Speaker 2: Yeah, but this was similar in I'm sorry to brag Italy. Oh there was you know, you had to walk to the beach and there was no sidewalk there, Okay, but don't get scary. 01:18:42 Speaker 3: They get away with it because they're ancient. 01:18:43 Speaker 2: It's ancient. It's beautiful, but they're very fast cars rushing at you constantly. 01:18:49 Speaker 3: Right on the walk. 01:18:51 Speaker 2: We love accessibility, we love excess, and we love well. You love fear. 01:18:55 Speaker 3: I love fear demonstrated. 01:18:57 Speaker 2: I love the abs and Sophia. 01:19:03 Speaker 3: You don't have to apologize. I'm glad you brought that up on the podcast. But now I have a beautiful thing that it's not just cluttering my home. 01:19:11 Speaker 2: I'm so glad that you feel that way. 01:19:13 Speaker 3: It's actually replacing something that is technically cluttering my own thrilled. 01:19:17 Speaker 2: Maybe that will go to the thrift store. What's the main color inside your kitchen. 01:19:23 Speaker 3: It's not very colorful, I would say orange. 01:19:25 Speaker 2: Yeah. 01:19:27 Speaker 3: Actually, I'm not kidding. There's some tile that this is almost the same match. 01:19:31 Speaker 2: I hope you'll send me a photo. I'll send it, put it on the website for the Instagram. You love, we love a visual.
