1
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: Well, I invited you. Hear, I thought I made myself

2
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: perfectly clear. But you're a.

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: Guess to my home.

4
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: You gotta come to me empty, and I said, no guests,

5
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: your presences, presents, and I already had too much stuff.

6
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: So how did you dare to surbey me?

7
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Richard Wininger. Look,

8
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: I hope things are going your way today. I hope

9
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: you're enjoying yourself on some level. I uh, I spent

10
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: the morning mostly cheating my way through a crossword puzzle,

11
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: and I'm not going to apologize for that. I you know,

12
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 3: I try my hardest, and this morning it wasn't happening,

13
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: and I just needed that win. So and I thought

14
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: the clues were bad anyway. So if you've got a

15
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: problem with that, I don't know what to tell you.

16
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 3: Let's move on. I want to talk about our guest.

17
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: I'm so excited, thrilled beyond all words to be welcoming.

18
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: Welcoming Lauren Adams to the podcast. Lauren, Welcome to us.

19
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: I said, no gifts. I almost messed up the name

20
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 3: of the post. I interrupted.

21
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: I interrupted the name of your podcast.

22
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. You can interrupt whatever you want. You're the guest.

23
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: I was so politely on mute the whole time through

24
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: your crossword big because I was laughing, and then I

25
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: interrupted the name of the podcast. So people won't know

26
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: what they're listening to.

27
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: People are confused now, they're just in a state of

28
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: absolute panic. They're driving off the road, they're collapsing in

29
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: their house. I'm so sorry, lives lost. That's fine, you know,

30
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: that's the danger of listening to a podcast.

31
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: It's true.

32
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: You just risk have Yeah, you run that risk and

33
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 3: high risk, extremely low reward. That's what we promise here.

34
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: And I said, no gifts. So what are you going

35
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: to do, Lauren? Yeah, Oh, it's so nice to see you.

36
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: It really is so nice to see you.

37
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: I mean, we saw each other yesterday briefly. You will

38
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: get into that that later later, but I did see

39
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: you in your car at a Satan mask We both

40
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: had masks on. The sun was beating down on us. Hot,

41
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: way too hot. And to be clear, I did not

42
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 3: get in your car. That would be dangerous. No, no, no,

43
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: I was outside the car. You were inside your car.

44
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: We're two intelligent adults making our way through a pandemic.

45
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: And we respect the pandemic. It is real. We wear masks.

46
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: This is the first time I've seen your chin like

47
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: a year, and you're shocked.

48
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: It's a whole new chin. I've done some work.

49
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: And it's longer than I remember.

50
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a good couple of feet long. Now I

51
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: felt like I needed a good, like Joker style chin.

52
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: But tell me how you are? How odd?

53
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: How am I? Doesn't that feel like such a loaded question?

54
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: These days are good. I guess I'm good. I think

55
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: I'm good. I also feel like when I ask people

56
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: that they like qualify it was like they want to

57
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: tell me they're not good, because no one's good, but

58
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: they want to qualify it that they realize they're better

59
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: than a lot of people. And I'm like, it's okay,

60
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: you don't have to qualify it. Your own grapes, your

61
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: worst grape. We're all bad.

62
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: It's okay, Yeah, we're just we're doing what we can do.

63
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: That's all anybody can do. I mean, the last time

64
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: I saw you pre pandemic, yes, was I believe, outside

65
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: of an ice cream store in Los Angeles called Ample Hills,

66
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: which is no more. It's said goodbye. I mean this

67
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: neighborhood of Los Angeles at one point had about seventy

68
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: five ice cream stores operation, all on the same street

69
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: right as a few of them just had to go. Unfortunately,

70
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: the one with the beautiful patio is no more.

71
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: The one that went. I know it's true, and I

72
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: know exactly when we saw each other. It was October

73
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,120

Speaker 3: Oh wow, twenty nineteen.

75
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 2: Probably twenty eighteen.

76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's been that slipping away.

77
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: The past six months have really like they felt like

78
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: a week and also.

79
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: Nine years exactly. They whold Jurassic period basically they stepped

Speaker 3: into six months.

81
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: But I saw you right after I met my now fiance.

85
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: up front, didn't feel much of a spark from that guy.

Speaker 2: Yes, it was a you caught me in a it

87

88
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: it was a low moment in a bad date, and

89
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: it was so bad that you were supposed to get

90
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 2: a drink after ice cream. And I was like, I

91
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: think I'm done, and he was like, you're not going

92
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: to get a drink, and I said, no, I think

93
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: this is it, like really nice to meet you. And

94
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,400

Speaker 2: two had gone the first two had gone fairly well,

96
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: and then the third one, for whatever reason, his mood

97
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: was like in the toilet and I had just met

98
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: my lovely fiance said and was Those dates were so

99
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: like filled with joy and loved And I was like.

100
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: Nah, isn't that nice to have some contrast in dating

101
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: When you're like, oh, this guy seems fine, then you

102
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: meet someone else You're like, oh, no, this guy's terrible.

103
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 3: There's some there actually are decent options out there, yes.

104
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: Yes, and so, and you do go on so many

105
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: bad dates that when one's fine, sometimes you're like, wow, fine.

106
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 3: I don't completely hate this, let's go for it. Let's

107
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: lock it in. I deal with fine for the rest

108
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: of my life, right.

109
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: And he It's funny because like I didn't contact him

110
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: after that, and I think he got the sense that

111
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: he was kind of like a bummer and a downer

112
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: and a dick on that date. So I got a

113
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: text like a couple of weeks later that was like hey, sorry,

114
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 2: like apologizing.

115
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: Oh did you feel like it was a plead to

116
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 3: be like, let's try again, or was it just like, sorry,

117
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 3: move on with your life.

118
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: I think it was a ploy to let's try, let's

119
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: try again. And by that point I was already like

120
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: a month into dating Seth who I was really head

121
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: of her heel score.

122
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: Third date, you don't get to be a bummer yet. True,

123
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: you've got to be in a relationship to start being

124
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 3: a bummer. Occasionally I get keep bringing the sparks for

125
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: a minute.

126
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, third day is some people call that the sex.

127
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: Day, right, try what's that? Maybe you know I'm not

128
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: I'm actually not going to defend this person at all.

129
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: I didn't feel a single spark as I interrupted your day.

130
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: And of course at the time it was I was like,

131
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: oh lord, what am I doing. I'm interrupting Laurence date.

132
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: What if she really likes this guy? But now knowing

133
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: all this information, I would have just, you know, planted

134
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: myself there for the rest of the evening until it

135
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: was over. At least I have loved it. Could have

136
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: just chatted, well this.

137
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: Cookies and cream together, right, what flavor? Yeah?

138
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: I feel like at that place there at least like

139
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: fourteen different ingredients in each ice cream.

140
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: Yes, which is why I loved it, because I like

141
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: a chunk forward ice cream.

142
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: So this is why I think ample Hills that which

143
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: it started in Brooklyn and then has I lived.

144
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: I lived on that street in Brooklyn.

145
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 3: You're kidding on Vanderbilt Avenue.

146
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: That was my home for like eight years.

147
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: Tin Kettle. Did you ever go there?

148
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

149
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: That good Hamburger.

150
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: They have a great We're going good tots? Did that close?

151
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: And that space was cursed?

152
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: It was an odd spot.

153
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: Everything closed that was there.

154
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: But this is my thing with ample Hills and with

155
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: ice cream in general, and I think this is why

156
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: and people just you have to pick your side. For me,

157
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: it was too many things in the ice cream. At

158
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: some point. If you put too many things in, it

159
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: just feels like I'm eating cold candy. I mean refrigerated

160
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 3: items kind of lightly surrounded by an ice cream and

161
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: that's you know. But for some people, they love, you know,

162
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: just pack it in. Let's I mean, just stand up

163
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: and say you're one of those people.

164
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 2: I am one of those people. How do you feel

165
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: about Ben and Jerry's.

166
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: Ben and Jerry's I don't mind, right, Yeah, they like

167
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 3: they get a little crazy, But at no point am

168
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: I ever liked that? Am I even eating ice cream?

169
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: I always know I'm eating ice cream.

170
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm never going to pick an ice cream without

171
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: a mix in, right, A vanilla, a plain chocolate. Never,

172
00:08:58,679 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: That's not me.

173
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: It'll never be you.

174
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: It's me. I am thirty seven years old, and I

175
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: have to be honest with the kind of ice cream

176
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: eater I am. And that's it.

177
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: I want a chunk, You've got it. I do think

178
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: that having some type of alternating texture and an ice

179
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 3: cream is important, although I will say if a chocolate

180
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: ice cream is well made, I'm on board.

181
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: I can be sure it, especially if it's with a dessert.

182
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: If it's like a fancy dessert and it has a

183
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: scoop of a plain ice cream.

184
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: Sure, I'll make a look, I'll make a BlackBerry cobbler.

185
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: I'll put a chocolate ice cream in there. And it's

186
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: my my brain is shutting down from the pleasure. Wow,

187
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: So we can. But that, of course, that's because the

188
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: other dessert is taking the place of the mix.

189
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: And so yeah, yeah, okay, it's all ice cream science.

190
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,599
Speaker 3: I know, and I think that's why we're going to

191
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: have to take over that space which is now vacant.

192
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: We'll as ice cream amateurs try to start a business

193
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 3: in that multimillion dollar comp that they tried to run

194
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: a business from.

195
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: We'll do great. You know, all the other scientists are

196
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: busy with the pandemic.

197
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 3: I hope that every ice cream scientist on this planet,

198
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 3: within the sound of my voice, is working towards a vaccine.

199
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: Stop thinking about flavors of cream, start thinking about vaccine.

200
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: That rhyme.

201
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: If it rhymes, it's true. So so okay. So right after,

202
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: right after this date, during this day, you were in

203
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: the process of meeting your current fiance, which is so exciting,

204
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: and you've become engaged in the last how long.

205
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 2: Two months during a pandemic, during a pandemic.

206
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 3: Again you announced, you know, that you're engaged, and it

207
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: feels like it was probably eleven months ago.

208
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 2: I know it was in March.

209
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 3: Oh, it's almost it's been a few months now, but

210
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it definitely feels like you announced it last year,

211
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: which is yea.

212
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, he had like a whole thing planned and

213
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: then the pandemic shut it down because it was like, oh,

214
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: nobody can travel, no one can gather in groups and

215
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: so it was like eventually he was like, do you

216
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: want to marry me?

217
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: What was the thing he had planned?

218
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: Very sweet? We went on our first date. If you're

219
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: an Angelo, you might know Trails Cafe and Griffith.

220
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: Park, right, I've never went.

221
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 2: It is lovely and they just they only do take away,

222
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: so like go get a piece of pie. They had

223
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: a coffee. It's really great. But we met there and

224
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: did a hike on our first date. So when he proposed,

225
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: he was flying in my sister, flying in my brother

226
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: and basically was going to propose to me at Trails

227
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: and then we were going to go on our hike

228
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: that we went on our first date, and all our

229
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: friends were going to be and my brother and sister

230
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: were going to be gathered.

231
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: Oh that's so sweet.

232
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: And then we'd go have like a home state tacos

233
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 2: at our house. Oh oh and he's from Texas.

234
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 3: So you take me there.

235
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah know, but my brother and sister gonna fly because

236
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: it wasn't safe at the time one could gather, and

237
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: so it was like very slowly, like all the elements

238
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: just started flying away. And then Trails was closed when

239
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 2: we went, so it was just and a group of

240
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: boomers gathered when they absolutely should not have been gathered

241
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the pandemic, and they didn't clap

242
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: or cheer when he proposed. They just sort of blinked

243
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: us while they ate their like Potla.

244
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: Breakfast romance was on the menu. That's fine, though, Look,

245
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: you know, you just gotta do what you gotta do.

246
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 3: What Ultimately, what's important for an engagement is that both

247
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 3: parties are present. I think if you can add something

248
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 3: to it, fantastic. But if the asker and the what

249
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: is the the ask are there, you did it. You

250
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 3: got it, you got it.

251
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: It's also like he planned all that.

252
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 3: That still means oh yeah, just the fact that he

253
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 3: unless he was lying and none of that was ever

254
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: in the cards he could I mean, at this point

255
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 3: now I think he actually made a bad move. He

256
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: should have just I mean, made it seem even more

257
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 3: extravagant than it was going to be. He could have said,

258
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: I had two helicopters that was rented the Hollywood Bowl, right,

259
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 3: But good for him. I think you're I think you're

260
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 3: locked in with an honest person here who's a planner.

261
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: And also he's safe, he's willing to call it off

262
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 3: when lives are at risk.

263
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: So you appreciate that during these times.

264
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: Yes, and now where did you two meet?

265
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: We met on a dating app on Riah.

266
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: With a dating app. We've got to stop set we're

267
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 3: all saying we met on it. It's crazy. There's no

268
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 3: other way to meet a person on.

269
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 2: The during a pandemic, there, really is it?

270
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: Oh right, absolutely, I don't even I mean, if you're

271
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: single out there, God bless God, bless get. I don't

272
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: know how it works right now. I'm and people. I

273
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 3: guess people are meeting on dating apps and then just chatting.

274
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they think they're doing zoom dates.

275
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: Oh I haven't heard of a zoom date.

276
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I know this because my little sister got

277
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: stood up on a zoom date, which is insane. She's

278
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: like the person on the other end of that is

279
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: a true insane like that's an actual like bad Like

280
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: you're a bad, bad person.

281
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: If you can't show up to a zoom date, how

282
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: are you ever going to show up to a physical dates?

283
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: You're I mean, something is happening in your brain.

284
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: It's very dun But yeah, you just would like chat

285
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: and like if it went well on the texting when

286
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: you set up by like a zoom date. And some

287
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: people I read an article were like sending a venmo

288
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: to be like, go get a bottle of wine. I

289
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: want to buy you a drink or.

290
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: Whatever kind of swing dude. I mean, I got to

291
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: do what you gotta do. And I think that's perfectly fine.

292
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: And it's also I mean even lower pressure. I mean,

293
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 3: you know there, you don't have to.

294
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: Leave your house. I can wear comfies from the waist down.

295
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the future of every first date. Let's just

296
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: get on, get on our computers and being in each

297
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: other's bedrooms, and if you suck, I'll just hang up.

298
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: And in LA when you would have to drive like

299
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: far to somewhere. I had a guy once who lived

300
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: in Century City. This is maybe like a I guess

301
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: it has to be two years ago before I ha

302
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: seth and he was like insistent on me sending more

303
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: pictures and sending my Instagram and like I'm an actor,

304
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: so like I don't usually like you can find me

305
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: if you really are trying, but I don't usually like

306
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: to like advertise who I am, especially if I'm going

307
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: to give you my phone number. And so he was

308
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: like consistent on like meeting more photos, meeting more photos,

309
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: let's FaceTime before we meet. I've been He kept saying,

310
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: like tricked too much, and I was like no. I

311
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: was like, no, we both agree that we're gonna meet,

312
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: and like, maybe we don't look like the way we look.

313
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure you don't look like the way you look like.

314
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 3: Course, give me a I've been tricked too much? What

315
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 3: does that even mean?

316
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I He kept asking me questions,

317
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: and then when I would ask him the question in return,

318
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: like he'd be like, what restaurants do you like? And

319
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: I'd like list it. I'd be like, oh, I love

320
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: so many. He'd be like which ones? And I'd list

321
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: a couple, and then I'd ask him what he likes

322
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: and He's like, too many to name.

323
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: But he would make me This person's horrible.

324
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if I had to drive to Century

325
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: City to go on a date with him?

326
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 3: It took me an hour and a half to get here,

327
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 3: and you refuse to answer any of my questions despite

328
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: using a whole background report from me.

329
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: Name the restaurants do you like? Name them?

330
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 3: And I listed so wild people are? Oh the world

331
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: of dating.

332
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: It is, but that's the kind of people that I

333
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: kept meeting on dating apps. So like when I met Seth,

334
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: it was like what it didn't It like just wasn't

335
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: my experience, of course, And when I think about how

336
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: easy it would have been for us to not meet,

337
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: I get like I almost cry because I'm like, it

338
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: would have been so easy for like either one of

339
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: us to cancel that morning.

340
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, of course, that's how I mean. I've been

341
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 3: in a relationship with my boyfriend Jim for about five years,

342
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 3: and before our first date, like on the way there,

343
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, maybe I should just turn around and

344
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 3: go home. He's been a little annoying over text. I'm

345
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: so tired of meeting people and wasting my nights. It's like,

346
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 3: what's the deal? And fortunately I went, But like I

347
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: could have easily just called it all off and then

348
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: none of this would have ever happened. It's a different

349
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: like a different life, different path. It's so wild. But here, yeah,

350
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 3: that's I don't know, that's the world of online dating.

351
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 3: I suppose maybe zoom.

352
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 2: We have to I have to take the stigma out

353
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: of going like when you're not on a dating app,

354
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: because it's just a normal thing.

355
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: If I met somebody like that I was romantically interested

356
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: in person for the first time, I don't even know

357
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 3: what reality that would be, where like I don't meet

358
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 3: people period. Yeah, it's just like my social circle has

359
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: really just gotten smaller and smaller, and I'm really trying

360
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: to cut even those people out of my life. So

361
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: it's you know, yeah, I don't get it now. You

362
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 3: and I, of course I believe we met. I did

363
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 3: we meet for the first time on the set of

364
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 3: Kimmi Schmidt or maybe we met at a table reader,

365
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 3: But you and I have now famously acted on screen together.

366
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: We acted on screen together so wonderful. As Gretchen and

367
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: Kimmi Schmidt, you and I part a small part which

368
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: has just been a highlight of my entire life. So

369
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: we kind of spent a day together at a boy

370
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 3: Scout camp in upstate New York. Yeah Staten Island, I

371
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: think island.

372
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: Yeah Yeah, And all the trucks got stuck in the mud,

373
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 2: and so we were like, they're away longer.

374
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 3: Than It's not a boy Scout camp without a truck

375
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: getting stuck in the mid Gotta you.

376
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 2: Gotta And there were actual teen boys on that set,

377
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: and I was scared of them, right, And I'm scared

378
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: of teens because teens are confident and I am not.

379
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: And a teen actor who's like working professionally. I mean

380
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: that confidence level is really through the roof, I think.

381
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 3: And they were all so sweet, oh good. I don't

382
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 3: think I interacted with them much.

383
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: Yet I had to talk to them.

384
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, you, I mean because you in the episode were

385
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: kind of the leader of these teen boys. And yes,

386
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 3: so you were, and they were kind of out of

387
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: your control. Is that what was going on?

388
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were just teen boys and they treated me

389
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: a mom instead of a cult leader.

390
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 3: Gretchen is one of my all time favorite television characters.

391
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: You're just fantastic as her.

392
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 2: She really tries.

393
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: The poor thing just keeps falling into various cult situations.

394
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 3: And you know, that's I think that a lot of

395
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 3: Americans can relate to that. I mean, I are people

396
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: who are kind of trapped in various cults. And it's

397
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: a very bizarre thing right now to speak to other

398
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: people who are you know, speaking to a Donald Trump

399
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: supporter or something can be rough.

400
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: Like such a strong ideology, yeah.

401
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a full denial of reality. Is such a

402
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 3: weird thing to speak to somebody and just like, oh, no,

403
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 3: matter what I say to you, it just rolls off

404
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 3: your back and no fact will change your mind.

405
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: There's an impenetrable field of like disinformation, like rejecting information,

406
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: which is so infuriating.

407
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: Very gretchen like. But you do now. Look. I hinted

408
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: at this earlier in the podcast. Yesterday, we saw each

409
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: other at a safe distance, and you pulled up on

410
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 3: my street. I was baffled, obviously, what's Lauren doing in

411
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 3: my neighborhood. She's supposed to be on the podcast tomorrow.

412
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: Podcast is called I said no gifts, and you kind

413
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 3: of beckoned for me to come close to your car.

414
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: All kind of a frightening situation. You indicate something in

415
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: your passenger seat, which I, maybe looking back, foolishly picked

416
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: up out of your car. But now I'm safe and

417
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 3: I'm in my apartment. You've given me a paper bag. Yeah,

418
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 3: I assume this is a gift for me. You also

419
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 3: have sent me an email, and in the email, the

420
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 3: subject line is this is a gift, do not open

421
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 3: before podcasting, and then several emojis of pink and yellow

422
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: gift bags. Yes, Lauren, I have to ask, is this

423
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 3: gift for me?

424
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? I got you gift?

425
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: Okay, fair whatever, we're in a pandemic. I'm willing to

426
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: look past whatever the Should I open it? Now? Should

427
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 3: I open the emails? Should open the paper bag? What

428
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: should I do?

429
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: Okay? I think you should start with the paper bag

430
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: and then the email. I'll tell I'll verbally, I'll let

431
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: you say what the email is terrific.

432
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 3: Now, the paper bag has been in the fridge. You

433
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 3: told me to keep it refrigerated, so I have no

434
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: idea what this could possibly be. I'm going to open

435
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: it up here.

436
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

437
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 3: There's plenty to apologize for, and I accept all of

438
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 3: the apologies. Let's see here. Okay, it's our first fridge gift.

Speaker 2: Really good?

440

Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah?

442
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 3: Okay. Should I read the letter first?

443
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 2: Yes? You should read the letter and the item that

444
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: goes with it. There's one item in a ziplock thing.

445
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 3: This is a complicated gift and I'm thrilled. Okay, he says,

446
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 3: dearest Bridger. Think of this as a little quarantine starter kit.

447
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I've given you two gifts. You have to

448
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 3: keep a lot oh alive. Interesting. I hope this isn't

00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 3: quarder of the tissue. Oh no, should I have left

470
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 3: in the tissue?

471
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 2: No? No, No, that means plant to the plant tissue?

472
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 3: Oh, plant tissue learning? Learning about plants as we speak.

473
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: Place the container in an indirect light situation and change

474
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: the water every couple of days. Soon you'll see little roots,

475
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: plant the rooted leaf and sand or pete moss and

476
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: follow usual snake. Snake plants are exactly what I need

477
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 3: because my apartment gets so little light.

478
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 2: Well, there you go. I give you a snakeplant cutting

479
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: Part two.

480
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: Check your email start on day three. Okay, so should

481
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: I check my email?

482
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: Now?

483
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? You can. I think you should open the paper

484
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 2: towel wrapped gifts because I didn't have wrapping paper and

485
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 2: it's a pandemic. You can't just go out and get it.

486
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: Okay, so this, wait, it's not hummus. This looks exactly

487
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 3: like I would have jumped right into this without that much.

488
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 3: If you had waited another second, I'd have to sell

489
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 3: my fingers and be eating hummus. If you want a

490
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 3: hummus container.

491
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 2: Yes, but now you should open your email.

492
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 3: Okay, opening it if you.

493
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 2: Don't smell it because it's doesn't smell good.

494
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 3: Well, I have to smell it. It's a kid, I

495
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: have to. You know, these are life experiences. Oh this

496
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: smells like hummus. That may be residual hummus or whatever

497
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 3: this is is hummus adjacent. I can't say. Okay, So

498
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: now I've opened the email. It says bubbs eight day bread.

499
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: What's happening? What is happening here?

500
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 2: Sourdough starting?

501
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 3: Oh, of course this smells. That's why this smells. It's

502
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: a little funky, it's sourdough. Oh it's beautiful.

503
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 2: Well, there you go.

504
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 3: Lord, Okay, I I hate to pause the podcast, but

505
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 3: I feel like I need to put this back in

506
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 3: the fridge really quickly.

507
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: Right, you should put that back in the fridge really Okay,

508
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 2: does not need to go in the fridge.

509
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll be right back. I'm so sorry. Oh my god,

510
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: the first ever alive, first ever gift in first ever

511
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: a live gift.

512
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: I have listened to most of the episodes and I

513
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: went through and then I went through the instagrams of

514
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: the ones I hadn't listened to just double check that

515
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: he didn't have it. But I don't know what since

516
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: you just started a quibbed quarantine last week, I was like,

517
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 2: there could be like ten weeks of uh yes, I don't.

518
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: Know about Lauren. I have returned from the refrigerator. I

519
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 3: have put the starter in the fridge. I've put the

520
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 3: leaf in a tiny bit of water in a mug

521
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 3: that I read like a week before quarantine painted, and

522
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 3: here we go. So, yes, okay, I have.

523
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: To keep two things alive.

524
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 3: That's that's too too many things. But I'm going to

525
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 3: pick my best job.

526
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: But they're both. The snake plant is very low maintenance.

527
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: I'm famously low maintenance, yes, and.

528
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: I am not. I'm getting to be a better plant person.

529
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: But when I moved to California, I decided I wanted plants.

530
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: That was going to be a thing I did. And

531
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 2: so this was the snake plant, my first plant. Okay,

532
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: I gave you a clipping of my first.

533
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 3: Oh what an honor.

534
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: And you also can if you want, you can google it.

535
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: But if that's a pretty long leaf, if you wanted

536
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 2: to cut it in half and have two leaves.

537
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: Also do that. That's incredible.

538
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: So they're really cool and resilient and easy to propagate

539
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: from a.

540
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: Cutting through it. So do you have a lot of

541
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: plants in your apartment wherever you live? I don't know

542
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: that condo bungalow mansion.

543
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 2: It's a bungalow mansion.

544
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: It's a.

545
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 2: It's uh, yeah, we have a like I think I

546
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: have a Fiddley fig. I have a pilea. I have

547
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 2: a couple of ferns, I have a pothos, I have

548
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 2: a snake plant. It was easy. Yeah, I've got a

549
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 2: good amount of plants.

550
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, I've I've never a few episodes of this podcast,

551
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 3: I've mentioned a plant, a famously low maintenance plant that

552
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: I've had, but I've never known what it was, and

553
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 3: I refuse to tell people what it is at this point,

554
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 3: but I will say that you just named it.

555
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 2: Okay, great, I had my theories about what it is.

556
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely adore it. So yeah, I suggested listeners, just go

557
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 3: get all of those plants, and if you don't have

558
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 3: any sunlight, the one that lives will be the one

559
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: that I refuse to tell you. So have you got

560
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 3: Have you killed a lot of plants over the course

561
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 3: of time or is Yeah?

562
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 2: I've also learned that like it, like I thought that like,

563
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: once plants started to look dead, that they were dead,

564
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: And now I've sort of learned in my research that like,

565
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: you can do some work to revive and get them

566
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: back on track.

567
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: Oh interesting, And what does that revival requires?

568
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: It It depends like I had a fig, fiddly fig

569
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: that was getting lots of brown spots and shedding leaves,

570
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: and I realized I was overwatering it. Oh, so then

571
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: I just stopped watering it and basically cut off all

572
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 2: the dead and then it's on a strict regiment and.

573
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 3: It's back to life beaut Okay. I usually will just

574
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 3: throw them away, yes, or I recently learned, although I'm

575
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: no longer really supporting the company, the home depot has

576
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 3: a year return policy on the plants. So I've taken

577
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: back multiple dead, fully completely dead plants to.

578
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: That company, and you're really giving it to them.

579
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 3: Yes, I certainly am. They are my plant rental business.

580
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: My apologies to the dead plants, but I've tried, and yeah,

581
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 3: being a plant and a live plant is a team effort,

582
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: and if you're not willing to work with me, you're

583
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: going to die.

584
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: I get it. The snake plant has a strong desire

585
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: to live. They're a team player.

586
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: Okay that Yes, because the snake plant and the other plant,

587
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 3: which I refused to mention, are always when I because

588
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 3: I get very little natural light in this apartment, those

589
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 3: two are always at the top of the list. So

590
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: this is going to be incredible for me. Yea, Now,

591
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 3: how long you been in California?

592
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: I feel like we I feel like we moved around

593
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: the state because we used to both live in Brooklyn.

594
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: I feel like we moved around the same time I

595
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: moved in like official official July twenty eighteen.

596
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 3: Oh okay, okay, So but.

597
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: I was back and forth for a while.

598
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 3: And did you have any plants in New York or

599
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: was that just not even an option?

600
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: No? I didn't, because I mean I killed a succulent,

601
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: so I was like, I don't deserve.

602
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 3: Them, fully understood. This is the first apartment where I've

603
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: had plants, and I've had horrible luck. I mean, I've

604
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: managed to keep my secret plant alive. I'm going to

605
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 3: keep this snake plant alive. And then I have some succulents.

606
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 3: And is the word bougainvilia?

607
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, bovilia is beautiful.

608
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 3: We've bought three of those on clearance from a closed

609
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: closing store and they've died and then come back to

610
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 3: life and died. And now I think that we've got

611
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 3: them on a nice little regiment where they'll stay alive.

612
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: Are they flowering right now?

613
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? They are?

614
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: Their chimey ear. This is when they thrive.

615
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 3: Oh, it's incredible. You just got a water enough not

616
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: too much, and give them as much sun as possible,

617
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: and there you go.

618
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 2: Now, Bridger, I don't want to call you out, but

619
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 2: it looks like you have a lot of light in

620
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 2: the ring you're sitting in right now, so I don't.

621
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: And plants don't need direct A lot of plants don't

622
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: need direct They need a lot of indirect light, and

623
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 2: you seem.

624
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 3: To have it. Well, Okay, I'm actually proud of you

625
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 3: for just keeping me honest. But what I will say

626
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 3: is that we're recording about one Yeah, this apartment faces north, okay, so,

627
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 3: and we're currently sitting in my carpeted bedroom, which is

628
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: not really conducive to having pots on the floor or anything.

629
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 3: So I've never even really considered having any in here.

630
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: Have been a hanger, would have been a hanging.

631
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 3: That seems like a lot for me. Sounds so stressful.

632
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I have a hard time baking a chicken breast.

633
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 3: I don't like that's stressful enough for me. So it's

634
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 3: the idea of screwing something into the ceiling. What does

635
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 3: that even involve. I'm also very small, I'm not going

636
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 3: to buy that's true. But he's but he's even worse

637
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: with tools than me. So if I were his height,

638
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: I might be the person to put that in, but

639
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 3: neither of us is going to be able to do that.

640
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 3: But I maybe I could put one on top of

641
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: my dresser.

642
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: Oh, I like that. We can get a plant stand.

643
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 3: Maybe that's where the snake plant goes. Actually, not a

644
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 3: bad idea. I'm going to get it going. And then yeah,

645
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 3: I think that the one good thing about the bedroom

646
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 3: is the windows don't have a balcony, so there's nothing

647
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: blocking any of the light. So maybe this is the

648
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 3: place for mister snake plant.

649
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: I love it. I love updates.

650
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 3: I thank you for calling me out. You know, sometimes

651
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 3: you just need somebody to give it to you cold

652
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: and hard.

653
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: And I see a lot of sunlight in there.

654
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: Well other lies are you're telling your listeners?

655
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: Well, I'm worried that the sourdough is going to be stressful.

656
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm now this is something. So I worked at

657
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 3: a for a couple of years on and off for

658
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 3: complicated reasons. At a bakery. The complicated reason is they

659
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: accused me of burglarizing the bakery at one point, and

660
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 3: I had to like, I was questioned by police and

661
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 3: all of this nons me. They thought that I had

662
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 3: stolen money. I had broken in and stolen money from them,

663
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 3: and then they kind of like slowly took me off

664
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: the schedule, and then suddenly I didn't have the job.

665
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 3: And then later I think they must have either found

666
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: the actual criminal or realized how insane it would be

667
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: for me to burglarize the bakery, and they hired me back.

668
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 3: But we did have a like what was essentially a

669
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 3: it's not a garbage can, but it looks like a

670
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: garbage can full of starter, like one hundred year old

671
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 3: starter or whatever. Yeah that said, I never used it.

672
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 3: I wasn't the baker. I was the night manager. So

673
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 3: my baking basically was putting frozen cookies on baking sheets

674
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 3: and doing that or burning croissants that were frozen as well.

675
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 3: Perfect the bread have you? So obviously a lot of

676
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 3: people have been baking during the pandemic. Is this anything

677
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: for you or what it is?

678
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: I bought my sour dough starter off of Etsy from

679
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 2: a man who lives like kind of ner Yosemite, I

680
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 2: guess what, and had so many bread jokes in he

681
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: like it was like a tight I'm like a typewriter

682
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 2: sheet of paper with my dehydrated starter telling me how

683
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 2: to hydrate it. So this is the starter you have

684
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: now I've given you some of it.

685
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 3: This is incredible.

686
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: And yeah, he was like, if you don't get the

687
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 2: starter to work, it's your fault, not mine. My starter's perfect.

688
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 3: That's a good attitude. I like a confidence in a product.

689
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I'll link to some of his sourdough

690
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: recipes and stuff. But he has like ten different kinds

691
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: of sourdough starter on his Etsy like shop that you

692
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 2: can do.

693
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 3: So what are the differences between the starters.

694
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 2: Different kinds of flower that you feed it. Some are

695
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: like dark black because they're like a rye flower and funkiness.

696
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 2: Some are just like older and funkier. Like one hundred

697
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 2: year old starter. This is supposedly supposed to be one

698
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: hundred year old.

699
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 3: So this one's been around basically since the last pandemic.

700
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: From San Francisco.

701
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 3: Yes, the exactly flu was ravaging the world and people

702
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 3: were learning to make sour doough exactly. Wow, it's one

703
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 3: hundred years old. And what was the process of actually

704
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 3: getting it started?

705
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 2: Just well, it came dehydrated and so I put it

706
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 2: in water a little sugar just for the first feeding

707
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 2: to wake it up and then flower and then that's all.

708
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 2: It's just water and flower. You just keep feeding it

709
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:01,959
Speaker 2: water and flour.

710
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 3: All right. And how long did it take before you're like, oh, yeah,

711
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 3: I've done it. I haven't killed.

712
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 2: It it right away? Like it like the first day

713
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 2: it was like bubbly. You can tell because it is alive.

714
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 2: It eats the new flower.

715
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 3: Wow.

716
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 2: And you can see bubbles and air and like it

717
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 2: makes a little popping and hissing sounds and stuff and grows.

718
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: You need to move it into a bigger container when

719
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: you go to feed.

720
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 3: It, okay, So, and how often do I have to

721
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 3: feed it?

722
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 2: If you're not using it, it can just chill in

723
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: your fridge. You can feed it like every week or

724
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 2: every couple weeks, okay. And if you're gonna bake bread

725
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 2: that bubb and Grandma's pdf that I sent you, right,

726
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: you'll start on day three and so you'll basically feed

727
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 2: it keep it out of your fridge from day three

728
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 2: to about day seven or eight, depending on how long

729
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 2: it takes for it to grow. Usually this starter is

730
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: very active.

731
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 3: Like for days okay, perfect, I've heard I just heard

732
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 3: about twenty percent of what you said, because I was

733
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 3: immediately distracted the idea to write a movie, a new

734
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: little Shop of Horrors set in a bakery with a

735
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 3: starter that is insatiable. Feed me, feed me. I think

736
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 3: that that's a I mean, everyone within the sound of

737
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 3: my voice, hopefully my attorney is listening, that's my idea.

738
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 3: No one else can do it. If you want to

739
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 3: do it and do most of the work, I'm fully

740
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 3: willing to take partial credit and just get your name

741
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 3: on it, send me the checks later. Okay. So it

742
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 3: is going to be a little bit of a process.

743
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 3: And then but you only need a little bit of

744
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 3: starter for the actual dough.

745
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 2: Yes, And so then you discard it every time you

746
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: feed it. You take like seventy percent of it away

747
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 2: and refeed it. Wow, Okay, then you keep that, okay,

748
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 2: in a separate temperware a discard and you can make

749
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 2: pizza dough, crackers, pancakes. Right.

750
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 3: Have you made a sour dough cookie?

751
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 2: I made cake cake?

752
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 3: Was it incredible?

753
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: Incredible?

754
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 3: What is the difference with a sour dough k than

755
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: a regular cake?

756
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: This is it doesn't taste like it's just really airy,

757
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 2: okay and light it was It's a chocolate cake and it's.

758
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 3: Very, very Oh that sounds phenomenal. How often are you baking?

759
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 2: Like maybe twice a month? It takes fully eight days

760
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 2: to do it all with this recipe, I'm also going

761
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 2: to text you an easier one.

762
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 3: Oh, that's no need.

763
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 2: But it is a full process.

764
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to a full process. What do you

765
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 3: think the time first? Should I do a bread first? Yeah?

766
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 2: Just do the bread in that that pdf I sent

767
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 2: you as a full.

768
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 3: The full recipe right, and Bub of course, is an

769
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 3: absolutely phenomenal bakery here in Yes Angels. The bread is

770
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 3: so good. It's so good I'll trust them with my life.

771
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 3: I mean, anytime a restaurant serves a Bub spread, I'm

772
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 3: just going wild. And it's also dip in a hummus.

773
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 2: It is I'm sorry I didn't give you a hummus.

774
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 3: Now that would I think if you had just given

775
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 3: me a hummus, it would have been a confusing short

776
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 3: conversation where I be like, oh, yeah, I like hummas.

777
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 3: You would have said yeah, I like hummas. Maybe we

778
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 3: would have talked about things we dip in hummus for

779
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 3: a few minutes. And then Lauren, it was nice to

780
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 3: see you, but I don't know what else to talk about. Goodbye. Well, oh,

781
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 3: I'm so excited to have two kind of little pets.

782
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 3: I now own a dog, a plant, and a starter.

783
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 3: Do you name a starter?

784
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 2: Is that?

785
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 3: So many people do? It has a name?

786
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 2: Would you like to know it?

787
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 3: Of course? Sally? Sally? And did you pick that or

788
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 3: this guy?

789
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 2: No? The guy picked it.

790
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 3: Wow.

791
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: She's named after Ride, Sally Ride because she's like a good, active,

792
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 2: easy starter, and that's why I picked her.

793
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 3: Oh okay, okay, Lauren, I feel like I would like

794
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 3: to move to the game portion of the podcast. How

795
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 3: do you feel about that?

796
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 2: I'm nervous but excited.

797
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 3: You should be extremely nervous, that said, I will. I'm

798
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 3: going to give you an option of games, and so

799
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 3: at least the fault will all be yours.

800
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: Great.

801
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 3: The game choices, they're called Gift or a Curse or

802
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 3: Gift Master. Which one of those would you like to play?

803
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 2: I would like I am most nervous about Gift or

804
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: a Curse, So let's do that.

805
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 3: Okay, give me a number between one and ten seven, Okay.

806
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: I have to use that number to calculate the things

807
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 3: that we're gonna play with. So while I'm calculating. You

808
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 3: can promote something, you can recommend something, you can tell

809
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 3: people to go to hell. Do whatever you want. I'll

810
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 3: be right back.

811
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 2: Okay, I won't tell everyone to go to Hell. I

812
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 2: guess what I'm gonna recommend is what have I been

813
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 2: doing during quarantine, mainly moving into a house. I guess

814
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 2: i'll plug Unbreakable. Kimi Schmid had an interactive special that

815
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 2: came out over quarantine that you can watch on Netflix.

816
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 2: And it's a fun comedy special that you get to

817
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 2: choose your own adventure on. So that's pretty fun. So

818
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: I guess that that will be what I plug right

819
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 2: now while Bridger calculates and tabulates. And also, again, if

820
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: you want to make sourdo bread, the above and Grandma's

821
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: sourdough recipe tells you how to also make your own

822
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 2: starter if you don't want to go to an Etsy

823
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: shop and purchase a starter. I feel like he looks

824
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: so intense while he's counting. Do I want to tell

825
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 2: anyone to go to Hell? I guess I'd like to

826
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: tell Donald Trump to go to Hell and pandemic deniers,

827
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: and I'd like to shut down Disney World again. I

828
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: I'm super political. Sorry, Princher.

829
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 3: Look, I give you that time, and I think you

830
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 3: used it pretty well. You know, I can never promise

831
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 3: people how much time they're going to have, and I

832
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 3: really just throw them off a cliff to deal with

833
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 3: the situation. And I think you handled it really well.

834
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: And I really, I mean, I don't know that it's

835
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 3: even political at this point to say that Donald Trump

836
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 3: is bad. Yeah, that's just a real literal reality. I

837
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 3: don't care what your political opinions are. The man is

838
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 3: a bad human being who doesn't correct. If he was

839
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 3: managing a burger king and I walked in, I would

840
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 3: walk out of the burger king. So as president of

841
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 3: the United States. Look, this isn't a wildly political podcast,

842
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 3: and I don't feel like political saying that Donald Trump

843
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 3: is a bad person. That's not it's not what what

844
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 3: are we even talking about. Also, the interact with Special

845
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 3: is fantastic and Lauren is very funny and so oh

846
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 3: thank you. Uh let's play Gift or a Curse? Okay, okay,

847
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 3: so this is how you play. I'm going to name

848
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 3: three things and you're going to tell me if you

849
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 3: consider them a gift or a curse, and why, and

850
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: then I'm going to tell you if you're right or wrong. Okay,

851
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 3: So first step, gift or a curse? Tuesday the day Tuesday?

852
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 3: Is that a gift or a curse?

853
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 2: Uh? Tuesday is a curse?

854
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 3: Why?

855
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 2: I think Tuesday's a curse because it's like, we know

856
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 2: Monday's bad, we get it, Tuesday. We've got so much

857
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: week left. And especially during the pandemic, these days, you

858
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: go like it's Tuesdays when I go like, it's only

859
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 2: Tuesday every.

860
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 3: Week, right, Okay, Lauren, Well let me just I'm just

861
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 3: gonna have to tell you right off the bat. You

862
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 3: got it? Yeah, of course. And this is my this

863
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,479
Speaker 3: is my feeling on Tuesday. I feel like every every

864
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 3: single day of the week has its own little personality.

865
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 3: Monday everybody hates. Wednesday is midweek, Thursday is basically Friday.

866
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 3: Friday is a little bit of fun, Saturdays even more fun.

867
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 3: Sunday we calm down. Tuesday, what do you have to

868
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 3: offer anyone? It's never zero personality with this day. It's

869
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 3: I mean, there have been attempts with Taco Tuesday, but

870
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 3: that just feels forced.

871
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: So we can have tacos whenever we want.

872
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 3: Right, I meanesday. Yeah, I'm having talks every other day,

873
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 3: so I'm not going to be told when I can

874
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 3: eat a specific type of food by a day that

875
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 3: has no identity and it's just scratch scratching for simple

876
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: of identity. Tuesday, you're a curse. Lauren's got one for

877
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 3: one fantastic that's uh. You know, who knows what the

878
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 3: rest of the game holds for you. I'm nervous, okay,

879
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 3: gift or a curse? Thirst traps?

880
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 2: Ooh, thirst traps? Okay? You know, I think the initial

881
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 2: response would be like curse, but I think maybe there's

882
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 2: traps are a gift?

883
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 3: Why Lauren? I need to know why, because I don't know.

884
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 2: Usually they're nice for people to look at.

885
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 3: Lauren, You've absolutely I'm sorry, but thirst traps are a curse.

886
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 2: I knew it could have gone this way, said are

887
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 2: too much?

888
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 3: There are The trap of a thirst trap is that

889
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 3: anyone ever thinks it's a good idea? I think I

890
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 3: especially I feel like within the world of you know,

891
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 3: we kind of work within the realm of comedy or whatever,

892
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 3: and anytime I see a comedian do a thirst trap,

893
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,919
Speaker 3: I just wonder, what business are you? What's happening here.

894
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 3: The things you're exposing about yourself with a thirst trap

895
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 3: are it feels a little insane to me. The idea

896
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 3: of needing to be validated for hotness, uh, starts to

897
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 3: feel a little insane. Uh, thirst traps for me, I'm

898
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 3: just gonna have to say, ten years ago, you know

899
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 3: the thirst trap. Maybe maybe it was a private thing

900
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 3: sent to somebody, but you know, throwing yourself on this

901
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 3: social media app. I think it's a curse. I think

902
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 3: the thirst trap is a curse. I knew it. Am

903
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 3: I making here?

904
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 2: Yes, you're and I knew it, and I said it,

905
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 2: and then I thought maybe it was a clever I

906
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 2: thought I was gaining the game.

907
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 3: Look, I uh, you don't game the game with gift

908
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 3: or a curse, Lauren. You game the game you get

909
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 3: egg on your face.

910
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: So I do.

911
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 3: But look all that said, I'm correct in everything, so

912
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 3: you're wrong. But you have a chance to save it here, Okay,

913
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 3: final element of gift or a curse? I need you

914
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 3: to tell me if this is a gift or a curse.

915
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 3: Swinging on vines kind of Tarzan style, swinging on a vine.

916
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 2: Swinging on vines. I'm gonna say I'm so nervous to

917
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 2: get it wrong. Frider.

918
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: Oh of course you are. This is a game of

919
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: nerves and absolute heart pounding action.

920
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna say swinging on vines is a curse

921
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 2: because ow I think it would hurt my hands, it

922
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 2: would hurt my crotch. I think there will be bugs involved.

923
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 2: I think it's very hot. I think it seems fun,

924
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 2: and it isn't.

925
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 3: Lauren. I don't know that I agree fully with your

926
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 3: logic on this, but I am going to say you

927
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 3: got it right. It's a curse. This is my thing

928
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: with swinging on vines. That's actually a physical reality. Can

929
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 3: people swing on a vine? The curse for me is

930
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 3: that there's always this idea that you could. We've all

931
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 3: been told we can swing on a vine. I've never

932
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 3: seen any real hard proof that you can, you know,

933
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 3: just kind of move through the jungle, floating from vine

934
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 3: to vine like an ape or Tarzan or what have you.

935
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 3: That's not a reality, and unfortunately I would love to

936
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 3: be able to do it, So it's just going to

937
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 3: be this curse on me for eternity. So let's be honest.

938
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 3: You got two out of three. That's not bad.

939
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 2: Now that's pretty good.

940
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 3: I've seen people get zero out of three. You know,

941
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 3: sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't. It's a tricky game.

942
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 3: It's built to destroy, and you made it out alive. Congratulations, Lauren,

943
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 3: thank you. Let's move on to the final element of

944
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 3: this insane podcast. We're going to play. No, we're not

945
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 3: going to play anything any The games are over. We're

946
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 3: now going to help. This is called I said no questions.

947
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: I said no question that people are writing into I

948
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 3: said no gifts. I said no gifts. At gmail dot

949
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 3: com they're asking for help giving gifts. So do you

950
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 3: mind helping me answer some questions?

951
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 2: I would love it.

952
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 3: Here's the first one. Hello Bridger, My boyfriend has been

953
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 3: really supportive of my mental health during quarantine. I'd like

954
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 3: to get him to express I'd like to get him

955
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 3: something to express my gratitude. His hobbies are expensive dinners

956
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 3: and trolling on Twitter, which leaves me in a bind.

957
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 3: Thank you, Kenny, Kenny. Okay, so I'm just gonna put

958
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 3: this out there. First of all, I don't know what

959
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 3: he means by trolling on Twitter. That can mean a

960
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 3: lot of things. Right now, yeah, Kenny, I mean you

961
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 3: are listening to this podcast for it seems like there's

962
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 3: some level of homosexuality happening here. So I can't imagine

963
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 3: that you're I mean, unless this is a you know

964
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 3: who knows, but I don't. I can't imagine that your

965
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 3: boyfriend is out there being a monster on the internet.

966
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 3: I doubt that he's. Uh, maybe the trolling is looking

967
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 3: through Maybe he's referring to looking through Twitter, or maybe.

968
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 2: It's like a healthy troll, like he's controlling.

969
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 3: Trump, right, okay, which we're we support.

970
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 2: We can control when she like trolls somebody up rather

971
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 2: than puning.

972
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, I think that, Okay, I can get behind that.

973
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 3: So the boyfriend likes doing that, which is an interesting activity.

974
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 3: And expensive dinners what and he's been very helpful with

975
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 3: this guy's mental health, which we all. I mean, if

976
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 3: you've got a supportive partner right now, that's fantastic, Kenny,

977
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 3: What what does your boyfriend want? I mean expensive dinners?

978
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 3: I think that, I mean just the obvious answer is

979
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 3: you order in an expensive meal, you light some candles. Yeah,

980
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 3: but what can I Lauren, of course guest.

981
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 2: Here, I what if you do that? You order and

982
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 2: you order it an expensive meal, But then you're the

983
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 2: weight staff. Oh, the boyfriend is the wait staff. He

984
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 2: serves the meal, he does the full thing, and then

985
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 2: to allow him to troll, he slides him a comic

986
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 2: guard troll the boyfriend in the comic part.

987
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 3: I love that maybe he dresses up as his least

988
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 3: favorite celebrity to be the waiter and allowing the boyfriend

989
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 3: to do even more trolling. I think that's an excellent gift.

990
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 3: I mean, another obvious option is you buy him an

991
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 3: army of bots on Twitter to kind of send after

992
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 3: whoever you want. I don't know how that works, but

993
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 3: I think obviously that's a reality we're living in. You

994
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 3: can buy bots and I assume just kind of command

995
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 3: them to attack. So you might want to look into that.

996
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 3: But I think Lauren's on the right path here. She

997
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 3: takes the expensive dinner and takes it one adds the

998
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 3: other thing. It's a shame he only has two interests.

999
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 3: But you work with what you got to work with,

1000
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 3: you work with what you got. He's been supportive, Yeah,

1001
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 3: he's been supportive, So you've got to reward him in

1002
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 3: a big way. With Lauren's dinner date idea, get a

1003
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 3: nice thing brought in tip the person who brings it, well, yes,

1004
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 3: they're out there risking their life to bring expensive dinner,

1005
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 3: and you've got a good thing. Kenny and boyfriend, You're welcome.

1006
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 2: We love it.

1007
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 3: Moving on, hi, friends. So this person isn't even addressing me,

1008
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 3: which look, whatever you gotta do, what you got to do.

1009
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 3: When you're writing an email, I wanted to see how

1010
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,720
Speaker 3: y'all feel about homemade gifts. I generally feel like people

1011
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 3: have too much stuff, so for Christmas and Birthdays, I

1012
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 3: try to bake something. I also cross stitch, so I've

1013
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 3: been known to make pillows with fun things cross stitched

1014
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 3: onto them for my loved ones as well. Do y'all

1015
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 3: like homemade hit? So y'all is in the email, I

1016
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 3: want to listeners to know that I haven't adopted this

1017
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 3: new way of saying things. That's and she says best

1018
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 3: Georgia in Chicago, Georgia, thank you for your email. Here's

1019
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 3: do you want to go first orner? Should I go

1020
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 3: first with the homemade gifts?

1021
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 2: I feel like you probably have a better take, so

1022
00:51:58,400 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 2: let me get my crappy one out of the way,

1023
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 2: which is, if you're good at making something, it's fine

1024
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 2: to give a homemade gift.

1025
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's exactly what I was thinking. I think, Well, look,

1026
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 3: it depends on who you are, Georgia. If you're a child,

1027
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 3: a homemade gift is always welcome. If you're an adult,

1028
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 3: this is where you have to draw the line. If

1029
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 3: you're If someone's giving me a homemade gift, I'm thrilled

1030
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 3: if they're good at making that thing. If they're if

1031
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 3: they're a good baker, fantastic, I have something to eat

1032
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 3: if they have If they're an artist, wonderful. I've got

1033
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 3: a new piece of art I can display that would

1034
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 3: have probably cost me a billion dollars buying it in

1035
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 3: a store, and no one else is going to happen.

1036
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 3: My sister makes me quilts that are incredible that will

1037
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 3: probably cost four thousand dollars in silver leg So if

1038
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 3: you're good at something, absolutely even maybe maybe even more

1039
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 3: than buying things, make the things. It's more thoughtful and

1040
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 3: it's unique. If you're bad at something, do not make

1041
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 3: the thing you're If this is your first time baking,

1042
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 3: what do you all do to do that?

1043
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 2: That's not a gift, that's.

1044
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 3: A curse, that's an absolute curse. You're just giving them

1045
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 3: something that they're unfortunately just going to have to kind

1046
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 3: of shovel into the garbage can. So don't do that.

1047
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 3: But if you have developed a skill, and this is

1048
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 3: where I guess my life is a little empty. I

1049
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 3: don't know that I have any friends with skills because

1050
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 3: I never get a homemade item. I'm always getting something

1051
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 3: purchase outside of you know, my sister giving me things.

1052
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 3: And also I have no discernible skills whatsoever. So I'm

1053
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 3: not able to make things for people either. But I

1054
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 3: do know there are people out there. There's a whole

1055
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 3: website called Etsy where people are making things at home.

1056
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 3: And if you're one of those people, if you're good

1057
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 3: at it, go ahead, I say, make the homemade gift.

1058
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 2: I think we're in complete agreement. We're a unified front

1059
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 2: on this nice.

1060
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 3: I mean my neighbor Taya, her name's Taya. She has

1061
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 3: been giving us bread, she's been giving us cookies. She's

1062
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 3: an excellent baker. I have no complaints. Each one's a gift.

1063
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 3: I'm thrilled. My heart is pounding when I get a biscuit. Yeah,

1064
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 3: if she was a bad baker, I would just be,

1065
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 3: you know, wasting food. So Georgia, I think Lauren and

1066
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 3: I absolutely are on the same page here. If you're good,

1067
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,439
Speaker 3: do it. If you're not, at least think it over.

1068
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also if you're a kid, always we love

1069
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 2: a homemade gift.

1070
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 3: Right, everybody loves a homemade gift from a child from

1071
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:18,760
Speaker 3: essentially age three to let's say, okay, we could say, well,

1072
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 3: you get to eighteen, and it's starting to get a

1073
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 3: little adult territory, and you should have.

1074
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: If you can drive, Like when I could drive, I

1075
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 2: go pick up a like a gift basket from the

1076
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 2: body shop for MI.

1077
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 3: Right, you like, if you can drive or order something

1078
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 3: online and you don't have skills, that's the cutoff point.

1079
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 3: I think. Yeah, so fantastic, Georgia, You're welcome. I don't know.

1080
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 3: I hope that advice works for you. Laura, it's clear

1081
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 3: for sure, what a wonderful time I'm having with you.

1082
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 3: And well, it's the podcast is coming to an end.

1083
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 3: That sounded like I was going to extend it for

1084
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 3: another hour.

1085
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 2: We're going to cancel the next guest.

1086
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 3: No, it's been so lovely having you. I mean, I'm
