1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself

2
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: perfectly clear. When you're a guest in my home, you

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests,

4
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: your presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff.

5
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: So how do you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Richard Winecker. Oh

7
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: here we are. You know we are absolutely in the

8
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 3: middle of the holidays. What a thrill. Not necessarily interested

9
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 3: in even talking about that. The fact that I learned

10
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 3: recently is something I want to share. I learned that

11
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: blimps go about fifty miles an hour, which I feel

12
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 3: like is actually a perfect speed for a blimp to go.

13
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 3: I did find out, also in my very light Google search,

14
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: that the Goodyear blimp goes seventy five miles an hour,

15
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: which feels too fast for a blimp to go. I

16
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: don't know why I'm sharing this, but I look, we're

17
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: we're not two minutes into the podcast, and you've already

18
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: learned a fact and you could turn it off now

19
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: and your life has been enriched. So who cares? I

20
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: want to get to the guest. The guest is fantastic.

21
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: Everyone loves the guest. It's Fortune Famester Fortune welcomed. I said,

22
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: no gifts.

23
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 4: I'm so happy to be here. You're already giving us

24
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 4: gifts with knowledge.

25
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: Look that you know, I don't know. I guess I

26
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: saw a blimp flying through the air mm hmm, and

27
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: I thought it seemed to be going an alarming speed. Yeah,

28
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: but I guess about fifty miles an hour. But maybe

29
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: it's because it was lowered to the ground than an

30
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: airplane is, so it looked like it was, you know,

31
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: in a hurry.

32
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 4: Well it's yeah, I guess I just haven't seen a

33
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 4: blimp in a while.

34
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: What kind of life are you living, fortune that you're

35
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: not seeing blimps every day.

36
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 4: I clearly I'm not going to enough sporting events that's

37
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 4: usually where I see them.

38
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 5: So I need to give back rooting for a team.

39
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 3: You've got to pick a team and get rooting. Yeah,

40
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: I got a root. You know you do see more

41
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 3: blimps in Los Angeles than your typical city.

42
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 4: True, that's because they have the Goodyear blimp that is

43
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: stationed just past the airport on your way toward the treach.

44
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: Have you seen it like on ground?

45
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 5: I've seen it on ground.

46
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: What That's how I don't That's why I don't know

47
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: how fast it goes because I only see it.

48
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: In its home base. You will only look at the

49
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: Goodyear blimp if it's stationary and grounded.

50
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 5: That's right.

51
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: When you so, when it is grounded, is it? And

52
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: now I'm you know, just kind of revealing an real

53
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: blimp ignorance. Is the blimp like filled up when it's

54
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: on the ground.

55
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's in its full full state, wing wings out.

56
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: I guess I don't understand how a blimp even works.

57
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 3: Is it just always full of arrow? Do they have

58
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: to like get the pump out and start pumping it up?

59
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: I believe it is as is always. I think, I'm

60
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 4: pretty sure. So it's not like a it's not like

61
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: a hot air balloon where you have to puff out

62
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 4: the the the material.

63
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, the balloon, it's right there.

64
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 5: I believe. I believe the blimp is like a stationary thing.

65
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 5: The walls are that's the you know, there are walls.

66
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: It's not like a helium, right, a helium blimp.

67
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: So then how does the blimp lift off?

68
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: Oh?

69
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 4: Well, in my knowledge of blimps, which is a lot,

70
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: I know a lot about blimps. Uh isn't there is

71
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 4: there fire at some point I don't know.

72
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: Is there is the hot air balloon?

73
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: The fire is the hot air balloon. So maybe this

74
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: is a motor.

75
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: Some sort of motor device. And then I guess I

76
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: don't understand what the blimp portion even is there, for

77
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: there's the little compartment underneath, which I assume holds about

78
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: two to four people.

79
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 4: Right, well, now, I wish I had bought a book

80
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: on blimps, and right if you give me study.

81
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 5: A blimp book, a blimp on the radar.

82
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: Asume you've never been in a blimp.

83
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 5: No I can say I have not.

84
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: I brought you on here to just give you a

85
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: new goal. I don't know if I would you would

86
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 3: review it.

87
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

88
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: I'm to get on the Hindenburg. But good Year. We

89
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 3: don't hear about the Goodyear blowing up that often.

90
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think that people went on the Hindenburg

91
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 4: knowing it was going to be the Hindenburgh, you know

92
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like no one went on the Titanic going, oh, get.

93
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 5: Like we're gonna be a part of history and the

94
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 5: wrong way.

95
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: But I'm sure on both occasions there was at least

96
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: one person on both of those crafts. It was like, oh,

97
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 3: this is new, yeah for sure, something I haven't tried

98
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: something like this before.

99
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's sail across America.

100
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: That sounds good and sink into the bottom of the ocean.

101
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 4: I don't even know if I would. I'm such a

102
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 4: whist now. I don't even know if I would go

103
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: on a hot air balloon. I was supposed to go

104
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: on a hot air balloon in college. A friend of mine,

105
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 4: like her family has like a hot air balloon, and

106
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: we went all the way to Kentucky to do this,

107
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: and the morning of lift off it was too windy.

108
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: They got they got canceled. So to me, that was

109
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 4: a sign that's it. No more hot air balloon charching

110
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 4: out for you. Yeah, so universe was protecting you and

111
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: that the.

112
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 5: Blimps go in that category.

113
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 3: For me, I think like Kentucky and New Mexico to

114
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: me feel like the home of hot air balloons.

115
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I agree.

116
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: Both of those states feel very hot air balloon oriented.

117
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 5: Maybe because there's lots of like flat.

118
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: Areas, right and they're both rolling. Also with Kentucky, you

119
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 3: kind of imagine the Kentucky Derby, which is kind of

120
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: colorful and fun. In Mexico, you have turquoise scenery right right,

121
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: You've got turqoise everywhere.

122
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 5: You have to you have to float over all the turquoise.

123
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: It's the only way to take in all of the turkoise.

124
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: For sure. I feel like a hot air balloon seems

125
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: more dangerous to me than a blimp. Oh.

126
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 4: I think so, because I'm thinking, and now in hindsight,

127
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 4: I'm thinking of blimp is a motor, not not fire,

128
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.

129
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 3: So it's just like a really powerful motor, and then

130
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: there's this balloon element that's always inflated that kind of

131
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: just eases things, I believe. So is it full of hydrogen?

132
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: But I feel like that after the after the Hiddenburg,

133
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: we don't want to be filling these things with hydrogen anymore.

134
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: I hope that there's some blimp experts listening to this

135
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: podcast right now, streaming at us, screaming at our ignorance

136
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: of not knowing anything.

137
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: Percent of my listeners are blimp freaks.

138
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 5: I figured.

139
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: I figured, and.

140
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: I'm kind of trying to drive them away at this point.

141
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 3: Just I'm repeating my depths of my ignorance and that's fine,

142
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: fortunate you're from Charlotte.

143
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: I'm I'm technically from yeah, from Belmont. It's a tiny town,

144
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: just twenty minutes from Charlotte. Everyone says Charlotte because it's easy, right.

145
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm I'm from outside of Salt Lake City.

146
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 3: But I'm not going to tell people, Yeah, South Jordan.

147
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: That makes no sense to anyone.

148
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 5: So I just I've heard I've heard of South Jordan.

149
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 3: That can't be true.

150
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 4: I've heard of West Jordan. You have, Yeah, where have

151
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: you heard of it? It's near Salt Lake City, right right?

152
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 5: But it's like a there's a there's a comedy club there.

153
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 3: Oh right, Uh, it's Wise Guys have one.

154
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 5: Wise Guys has one downtown and in West Jordan.

155
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: There you go, Wow, West Jordan. That's a real That

156
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 3: is a real poll.

157
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: I have a lot of random Mormon knowledge from you know,

158
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 4: my time in doing comedy in Utah, and also I

159
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 4: knew a lot of Mormons in college.

160
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 5: So you know, I did not realize you were from Utah.

161
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 3: I am, I am. I would love to hear just

162

Speaker 5: Mormon fact. The angel Morona.

164
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 4: I visited Joseph Smith and helped lead him to the

00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 4: Golden Plates.

166
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,920

Speaker 3: Oh, you're kidding what book of Mormon.

170
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 4: Stories that my Wait, parents talk to me all about

171
00:09:53,800 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 4: the layman layman knights in ancient history something something teach

172

Speaker 3: Could remember.

174
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 5: Righteously anyway, you know more of it.

175
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: Than me at this point. Wait, where did you learn.

176
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 5: It from my Mormon friends?

177
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: Oh? My, Yeah, that's wild. That is such a deep cut. Yeah,

178
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 3: that is the that's the That is probably the most

179
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: fun song Mormons have come up with. That is Yeah.

180
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 4: I don't know a lot of their other songs, but

181
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 4: that one's pretty catchy.

182
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: That's kind of their number one. I was in Charlotte.

183
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: It was like one of the last places I was

184
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: like visited before the pandemic. What were you doing there?

185
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 3: My boyfriend was on tour with Le Miz and so

186
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: I would kind of just go visit him in random

187
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 3: US cities that I didn't really have any business being otherwise.

188
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: So I'm curious what your feeling about Charlotte is. It was, uh,

189
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 3: not what I expected.

190
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: Oh, really, well, Charlotte is a big it's it's like

191
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 4: a big banking area.

192
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 5: There's it's like a little bland down town.

193
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 4: It's just like, yes, you know, I like Charlotte, but

194
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 4: I did not spend a lot.

195
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 5: Of time in Charlotte, even though I grew up outside

196
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 5: of it.

197
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 4: My hometown is very small and quaint, and uh, you

198
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: really didn't go to Charlotte a ton. I ended up

199
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 4: spending a lot more of my young adult life in Raleigh.

200
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 4: And Raleigh's a super cool city. Not that Charlotte doesn't

201
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 4: have cool parts. It's really like there you have to

202
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 4: go outside of downtown Charlotte like their pockets that are

203
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 4: really interesting and cool.

204
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 5: But Raleig's got like really up and coming.

205
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: A lot of people are moving there, and Raleigh in

206
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 4: the Carry area, there's cool restaurants coming there.

207
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 5: Right, it's the city.

208
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: Uh that think North Carolina city wise, that's the most

209
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 4: interesting one. But North Carolina has a lot of towns

210
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 4: like little towns right right.

211
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Charlotte was perfectly fine. I had no problem, but

212
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: it was a little more sterile than I expected.

213
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of that downtown area, which that's where

214
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 4: the theater is.

215
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 5: So you probably spent a lot of time there, right.

216
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did. We got a little bit out. I

217
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: went to a nice thrift store called the rats Nest Okay,

218
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: which fantastic. And then one day I went which was

219
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 3: a wild experience. I went to the Billy Graham Library.

220
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 3: Oh have you visited that?

221
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 5: I have not.

222
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, normally, when I see Billy Graham on

223
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 4: a thing, I'm like, I don't think they want Miken

224
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: around there.

225
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: Likewise, And that's why I decided I would just head

226
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: straight into Yeah.

227
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's the Billy Graham Parkway.

228
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 3: He's very big in that area. I mean means all

229
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: he's dead, but his I believe his son.

230
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 4: There's always a son that carries on course, carries on

231
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 4: the stuff.

232
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that library, I mean both of my My uber

233
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 3: ride to and from was very uncomfortable because there's just

234
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: a lot of confusing questions. Then you get there and

235
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 3: there's like an animatronic cow oh who I think sings

236
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: or something.

237
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 4: I'm impressed that you, like even bought an uber ride

238
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: to and from to go there.

239
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 3: I mean it was like that. My options that day

240
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: were like Billy Graham Library or the NASCAR Museum. Ah,

241
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 3: I see both places. That I don't feel fully comfortable

242
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: or wanted in.

243
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 4: Right, I can get. I get that my hometown's super cute.

244
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: I think you would have liked it.

245
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I need to see more of

246
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 3: North carol I'd like to see both of the Carolinas

247
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: actually after the Charlotte Zone. But no complaints. I just

248
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: I was surprised. But what are you gonna do? What

249
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: are you gonna do? What else has been going on?

250
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 5: I'm back on tour.

251
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 4: I'm on tour after a year and a half of

252
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 4: sitting in my house, you know, for someone like me,

253
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 4: I've been touring for eleven years, so it was a

254
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: weird thing to suddenly be grounded and in my house.

255
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 4: But the gates opened back up this summer and I've

256
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: been pretty much going NonStop since.

257
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: And you've got married in the last year, Right.

258
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 4: I got married last October. We just celebrated a year

259
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: wedding anniversary.

260
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: Congratulations, thank you.

261
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, we you know, we had always thought we would

262
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 4: get married in twenty twenty and had we never were

263
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 4: going to do a traditional thing, so we didn't have

264
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 4: like all, you know, anything planned or paid for, thank goodness.

265
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: So we didn't have like you know, some large venue

266
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 4: that suddenly we lost a deposit on. But when the

267
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: Penn make hit, we were just starting to look at

268
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 4: places and we.

269
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 5: Just were like, oh, well, I guess that's not happening.

270
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: And then.

271
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: I guess it was like late September whenever, early October

272
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 4: when Ruth Gater Ruth Peter Ginzburg died. I think it

273
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 4: woke the gaze up and we went, oh no, because

274
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 4: you know, the election was looming. Everything seemed very dark

275
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 4: and scary, and we just were like, what if we

276
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: can't get married at some point?

277
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 5: So we were like, let's just do it. What are

278
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 5: we waiting for?

279
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: And that really did sort of kick us into gear,

280
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: and we planned it in like three weeks and just

281
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: it's amazing. Yeah, we got We had five friends there

282
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 4: and they all we all.

283
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 5: Got COVID tested and zoomed our families.

284
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: I feel like that concentrated for of a wedding is

285
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: probably way more powerful than your typical wedding.

286
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: Well you just you really are there for the thing

287
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: you're supposed to be there for. You know, it's not, uh,

288
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 4: it's not about all the other stuff. Because we had

289
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: a little family gathering, a couple of weeks ago and

290
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 4: invited some friends, uh sort of a we still kept

291
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 4: as small because of COVID, but.

292
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 5: A prolonged reception and you feel like you barely talk

293
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 5: to anybody, you know what I mean, because you're just

294
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 5: like trying to talk to everybody.

295
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 4: That you talk to no one in a weird way,

296
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 4: and so on your actual wedding day. That's now that

297
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 4: I've done it two different ways, the wedding day ended

298
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 4: up actually getting to be about us because we did it.

299
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 4: We did it that way. Yeah, so I actually highly

300
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 4: recommend it. I never we never planned to get married

301
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: like that, but I thought it was pretty awesome. Yeah.

302
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: I feel like the wedding industry must be horrified that

303
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 3: people are realizing that you don't have to have like

304
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 3: a thousand people at your wedding to have yeah time, you.

305
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: Don't have to spend a you know what you would

306
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 4: have spent on a deposit for a home to have

307
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 4: a wedding. Really, you truly don't.

308
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 3: Oh, the cost of a wedding is horrifying to me. Yeah,

309
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 3: that's so, and I'm just like, I'm not I'm not

310
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: doing this.

311
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 4: I think people should use the COVID excuse for the

312
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 4: next couple of years, just like we're.

313
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 5: We're not inviting anyone because like COVID.

314
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: I'm still using you know, COVID excuses for a variety

315
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 3: of things that it's barely holding up at this point,

316
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 3: but it's still enough of an excuse in certain situation.

317
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 5: Which flies, it can still fly.

318
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 4: I mean, we're definitely not being as social still as

319
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 4: we were pre pandemic part of that song because I'm

320
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 4: always on tour. But when I'm home, Yeah, we're just

321
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 4: not going out and about like we were.

322
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 3: Right and if somebody comes crawling back from your pre

323
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 3: pandemic life to get dinner or something, or we've been

324
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: in contact with you, you can just se I'm not

325
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: leaving the house. I'm still not leaving the house.

326
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 4: I haven't talked to you in two years. Get out

327
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: of here. Isn't it weird? Isn't it weird when you think,

328
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 4: like a year and a half passed when you didn't

329
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 4: see like a lot of most people.

330
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 3: It's so overwhelming. I mean, now that we're kind of

331
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: on the other side of it, I can like think

332
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: about it, I can let my mind think about it.

333
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: But when we were in the middle of it, if

334
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: I zoomed out on any level to think about how

335
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 3: horrifying it all was. I just collapsed. It's like we've

336
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: been in this thing for months, and myself months ago

337
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: it was I.

338
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 4: Think we were all in fight or flight mode because

339
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 4: if you, if you truly like stop to think about

340
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 4: what we were dealing with it, it was too much.

341
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 4: It was too much to like really process the horror

342
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 4: of what was going on around.

343
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 5: Us, you know, And it didn't stop. It kept going.

344
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: You're like, when is this going to be over?

345
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 5: I mean it's still not over, and you're like, enough already, geez.

346
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: I was just reading that deer might prolong it even further.

347
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 3: Apparently deer, Oh Carrie COVID or something, and.

348
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 5: Can we just stop with the COVID already?

349
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 3: Can it just die away? If I COVID from a deer,

350
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 3: that would be a bummer. Actually, I would be thrilled.

351
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: In what situation Am I going to be so close

352
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: to a deer that it's able to pass COVID? To me,

353
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: it's got to be a very special moment.

354
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 5: Don't go hunting or eat venison.

355
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 3: Or just hang out in a glen a lodge, yeah,

356
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 3: a forest glen kind of just meeting deer by a

357
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 3: pool and contracting COVID. I would be fine with that,

358
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: but yeah, it is a little bit alarming that now

359
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: apparently we have this threat. I just I can't deal

360
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: with that.

361
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: I know.

362
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 5: I don't even read that.

363
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 4: When they're like new update on COVID, I'm like, I

364
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 4: don't want to I don't even want to hear it.

365
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 4: I don't know for me, I don't want to know

366
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 4: if there's a variance coming. I don't want to know

367
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 4: if it's jumping from species.

368
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 5: Just leave me be COVID.

369
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 3: I've had enough. I've had enough. Look, Fortune, I would

370
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: love to just turn this into a pandemic episode and

371
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: just talk about the joys of COVID and all of this,

372
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 3: But there are there's a more difficult thing I'd like

373
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 3: to talk about with you. And Okay, this podcast is

374
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: called I said no gifts, and you agreed to be

375
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: on it a few weeks ago, and naturally I was overjoyed.

376
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: I love Fortune. This will be such a fun conversation.

377
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 3: We'll have a good time. Yeah, we'll probably talk about

378
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: the pandemic for four to five hours, just a couple

379
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: of minutes, and then we'll move on with our lives, right,

380
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 3: So I was a little surprised. I was passing through

381
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 3: your neighborhood last night. Just happened to be right nightly drives,

382
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 3: just kind of wandering through the Los Angeles area, and

383
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: I stopped by your house and thought, I'll just check

384
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 3: in on fortune.

385
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I found you at the gate.

386
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 3: You found me at the gate. It was all so

387
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: nice up until you're handing me an object I did.

388
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 5: I felt like I needed to give you this, and.

389
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: You gave it to me, and you said that you

390
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: essentially said, this is a gift for you. There was

391
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: no real mystery.

392
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 4: No. I was like, I, this is a gift. But

393
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 4: I said, don't think that I'm cheap. Yes, you did,

394
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: because it's a part of a bigger thing.

395
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 3: You have a you have a piece of a thing.

396
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: It was in some sort of tupperware container, and I

397
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: swore to you in that moment, I won't look at

398
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: it until the podcast. I'd like to get in a

399
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 3: fight with you about it once we get into it.

00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 4: It's in a ziplocu disposable what do.

00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 4: I don't know how I feel about this. All right, fine,

419
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:10,639

Speaker 3: I can open it here on the show, okay.

421
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 4: And and there's this and obviously there's a story behind it.

422
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 4: It's not it's more than what meets the eye. Let

423
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 4: me preface it.

424
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 3: I'm very okay. So I'm now seeing the zip lock thing.

425
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to open it up and see this for

426
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: the first time.

427
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 5: Yep.

428
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: Oh oh that smells incredible.

429
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 4: What not only smells incredible, it tastes incredible.

430
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 3: Is this a cake? It is a piece of a cake.

431
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 3: I mean it could also be like a nice sweet

432
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 3: bread or something.

433
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a cake. It is a type of cake.

434
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 4: It is a coconut cake. It's a it's like a

435
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 4: bunt cake. But it's there's like a thing in this

436
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 4: that's got some sort of magical thing in it with

437
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 4: some sort of not a chocolate chip, it's some sort

438
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 4: of I can't even explain it, but there's it's more.

439
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 3: Than just a cake. How is it more than a cake?

440
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 4: So this cake is very infamous because Tom Cruise is

441
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 4: known for every Christmas. He has a list of like

442
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 4: one hundred people and there's a bakery in Woodland Hills

443
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,479
Speaker 4: that makes these cakes. He's been doing it for like

444
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: twenty years and he sends one hundred of special people,

445
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: people he's worked with or whatnot, he sends them one

446
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 4: of these cakes.

447
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 5: It's infamous. It's called the Tom Cruise Cake.

448
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 4: What And I found out about it like two years,

449
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 4: like right before the pandemic, and I, oh my god,

450
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 4: it's like one of my friends got one because he

451
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 4: works at James Gordon Show and they did a sketch

452
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 4: with Tom and he this cake. I was like, oh

453
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 4: my god, what is this cake. Everyone's talking about how

454
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 4: unbelievable this cake is. So it was like my mission

455
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 4: in life. I was like, I gotta get one of

456
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 4: these cakes.

457
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 5: But I wanted to be from Tom Cruise. I don't

458
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 5: want I really want to.

459
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 4: I really want it to be from Tea Crews himself.

460
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 4: And so I talked about it a lot, like on

461
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 4: our radio show and in different places. I even did

462
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 4: a vision board. It was for twenty twenty. I put

463
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 4: the Tom Cruise cake on it. And it's an expensive cake.

464
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 4: It's not a cheap cake.

465
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 3: How much did they charge for this cake?

466
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 5: It's like one hundred dollars cake.

467
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's an expensive cake.

468
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 4: I mean right, that's that's like for a bun cake.

469
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 4: That's like an expensive cake. But I was like, oh

470
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 4: my god, this cake must be good if he's like

471
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 4: for twenty years or however long has been sending this cake.

472
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 4: And so I went on the Kelly Clarkson Show and

473
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: they had the bakers from their make the cake.

474
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 5: So I got to finally eat the cake.

475
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 4: And it wasn't obviously from Tom Cruise, but Kelly clarks

476
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 4: is a pretty.

477
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 3: Good, you know, second.

478
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 4: Second best, and the cake was amazing it's so good,

479
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 4: totally worth it. And so I went to film my

480
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 4: radio show and I was gonna stop and get you

481
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 4: a present, but I wanted it to be something that

482
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 4: did have some sort of story for me. But I

483
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: was like, I've been on the road, and I was like,

484
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 4: oh my god, what am I gonna get Bridger? I

485
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 4: don't like what am I going to give him? And

486
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 4: then I went to film radio and it was my

487
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 4: co host Tom Papa's birthday and our mutual Friendeel Bolter

488
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 4: bought him. He bought him the Tom Cruise cake. And

489
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 4: so as I was leaving, I told him that I

490
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 4: was doing your podcast and he goes, Bridger loves food,

491
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 4: and I go, oh my god, I gotta give him.

492
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 5: This is the president. I gotta give him a piece

493
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,399

Speaker 4: no germs on it.

499
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: This could be covered and would be fine to eat it.

500
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 3: My problem, I don't have a fork handy ah.

501
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 5: I did not put that time.

502
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: To decide should I take a bite of it using

503
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 3: my hands or should I run and get a fork.

504
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 5: And honestly, it's whatever.

505
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 4: I won't judge you if you use your hands, but

506
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 4: it's whatever you're comfortable with.

507
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 3: I feel I'll be right back because I want to

508
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 3: get a nice, normal bite of you.

509
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 4: You gotta get all the things in it, the icing,

510
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: and a lot of people don't like coconut, but everyone,

511
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 4: everyone I know who doesn't like coconut really loves this cake.

512
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 3: This must be incredible. I'll be truly right back.

513
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 6: Okay, Oh yeah, he's got a fork and he's about

514
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 6: to eat the cake.

515
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 3: I have a fork and a napkin. Oh, if you

516
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 3: don't want to watch me take a bite, I don't

517
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 3: want to subject you to watch.

518
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 5: Listen.

519
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 4: I had some yesterday and I brought myself a piece

520
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: that I ate at breakfast. So and I got sure,

521
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 4: I got you a really big piece.

522
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 3: It's enormous, So I'm a very generous piece of cake.

523
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: Well, because I wasn't giving you the whole cake, because

524
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 4: technically I couldn't take Tom's birthday cake from him.

525
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: I tried.

526
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 5: I was like, at least have to give you a

527
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 5: big piece.

528
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: I mean, if this cake is one hundred dollars, this

529
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: is probably a fifteen dollars.

530
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 4: Come on, baby, that's a nice, nice expensive slice right there.

531
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 4: What do you think, oh the eyes of lit up?

532
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: What do you think is unbelievable?

533
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 3: Right? This is a Tom cake.

534
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 5: It's a Tom Cruise cake.

535
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 4: That is, he doesn't send no crap cakes, and so

536
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 4: I one of these days I'm going to get the

537
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 4: cake from Tom.

538
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 5: I do feel like it tastes better if he.

539
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 4: Sends it, of course, I mean, but it's it's really

540
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 4: good as is.

541
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,239
Speaker 3: I feel like basically, I mean, you talking about it

542
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 3: and putting it out in the world in every format

543
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: you can, You're slowly, you're just building the path towards

544
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: the cake. I feel like you're Yeah, I don't know,

545
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 3: a year out, I'm close to cake.

546
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 4: I mean, at least the vision board did send the

547
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 4: because you know, with vision boards you have to be

548
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 4: very specific. I said on one of the Tom Cruise cake.

549
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 4: I technically got the Tom Cruise cake. I was given it.

550
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 4: I didn't say on the vision board that he himself

551
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 4: had to send it.

552
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: Right, So next you need to revise the vision board

553
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 3: with a photo You've got to do some photo doctoring. Yeah,

554
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 3: with Tom Cruise, handing, handing the cake to me.

555
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 4: You, But as a cake lover my I have a

556
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 4: really big sweet tooth and as a lover of cake,

557
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 4: I will say that this cake, it was, even though

558
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 4: it was not from him, highly worth it.

559
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: It's an amazing cake. It's so good. Do you bake

560
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 3: cakes or a cake purchaser?

561
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 4: I'm a purchaser. I'm not a good maker of food

562
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 4: in any form, but I eat it. I'll eat a

563
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 4: lot of it. And I'm not normally a bunt cake

564
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 4: kind of gal. But this they like, I don't know

565
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 4: what's in the top, Like there's a there's like a

566
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 4: curve and there's something in it. I don't know what

567
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 4: it is. And it's got like it's not a chocolate chip.

568
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 4: It's like some sort of chip, Like I don't know

569
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 4: if it's hat.

570
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 3: Like a white chocolate.

571
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's the whole cake is a mystery. But

572
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 4: whatever they do, it's so good.

573
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 3: Is this now your favorite cake or do you have

574
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 3: a favorite cake?

575
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I would say quality wise, that's probably one

576
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 4: of my favorites because it's so unique.

577
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 5: But I enjoyed a nice like red velvet cake.

578
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 4: That's my southern roots right there.

579
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 5: Did you ever watch what is the steel magnoias?

580
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 3: Oh, of course the groom's.

581
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 4: Cake was a red velvet armadillo cake. But back then

582
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 4: red velvet was not anywhere but the South, like people

583
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 4: it was. It not hit California yet, so people were like,

584
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 4: what is red velvet armadillo cake?

585
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? Red velvet really did not go nationwide, probably till

586
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 3: two thousand and seven.

587
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like I'd moved to la and I

588
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 4: think two thousand and four and maybe a year or

589
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 4: two later they start popping up in the form of cupcakes,

590
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 4: and people were actually like, what is what is this

591
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 4: delicious cake?

592
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 5: I mean, it's kind of it's basically.

593
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 3: Like chocolate cake, right, It's just a red.

594
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 5: Red It's just a red chocolate cake.

595
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, red velvet for me is a confusing sensory

596
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 3: experience because it is cocoa but the red. My brain

597
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 3: doesn't know what's happening, right, So yeah, I need my

598
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: chocolate cake to look like a chocolate.

599
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 4: I don't want to look like a bloody armadillo.

600
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 3: Do you is cake your favorite sweet or do you

601
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 3: have a minus cookies? Full disclosure?

602
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

603
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 3: But are you a cake? First person?

604
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: Everyone assumes I'm an ice cream first person, because I

605
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 4: do silly ice cream dances and I do. I do

606
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 4: really like ice cream, but yeah, cake is my number

607
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 4: one sweet.

608
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 3: I love an ice cream, but it is not a

609
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 3: year round you know, it's very the conditions have to

610
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 3: be just right.

611
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, people people send me ice cream, which is really lovely,

612
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 4: but I rarely am like in my house going I

613
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 4: gotta sit down with a bowl of ice cream.

614
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 5: I think ice cream is the most fun.

615
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,479
Speaker 4: When you're like you're on a stroll with a friend

616
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 4: and you like see an ice cream place and it's

617
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 4: a warm day and you're like, let's get ice cream.

618
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 4: It's kind of like more of a surprise treat.

619
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 3: One hundred. I need my ice cream and a cone,

620
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 3: served preferably by like a friendly teenager.

621
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 4: Yeh, as opposed to those non friendly teenagers.

622
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 3: Or for sure a senior citizen or something. Yeah. No,

623
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 3: I'm completely on board with that situation. Cake. For me,

624
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 3: a cake has to be excellent. Cake's not my first

625
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 3: because there are so many bad cakes. There's a lot

626
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 3: of like yeah, dry right, and if you get saddled

627
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 3: with a slice of that, then it's like a job.

628
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're yeah, and you don't want to I used

629
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 4: to like laugh when skinny people said this, but they

630
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 4: would I used to work with people that would take

631
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 4: a bite of something sweet and if it wasn't good,

632
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 4: they would throw it away and say, not worth the calories.

633
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 5: Oh boy, And so that always made me laugh.

634
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 4: And so once, you know, I, of course need to

635
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 4: think about the calories and I don't, but I.

636
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 5: I did it once where I wasn't even thinking that.

637
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 4: It was in the writer's room at Chelsea, them saying

638
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 4: that rubbed off on me, and I took a bite

639
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 4: of something, and I go, oh, not worth the calories,

640
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 4: and they're going what I was say, Ew, you guys

641
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 4: are rubbing off on me.

642
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: This is a terrible sign. Oh yeah, no one should

643
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 3: ever say that. Yeah, unless you're every everything you are eating,

644
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 3: you're also saying this is worth the cali worth it?

645
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 3: Extremely annoying. Oh I'm so thrilled to have this cake.

646
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: I little piece of personal news. All of my treats

647
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: in my house are out. I ran out yesterday. Oh no,

648
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 3: all of my piscotti is gone. All of my cookies

649
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 3: are gone.

650
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 5: I like a nice piscotti too.

651
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 3: My mom makes piscotti and excellent piscotti.

652
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 5: Oh I'm bet.

653
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 4: I don't know if I've had anything, but you know,

654
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 4: at the store piscotti.

655
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: Well, the store piscotti is so hard, so I think

656
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 3: it gets a little bit of a bad wrap. If

657
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 3: you have, like somebody someone make piscotti for you, it's phenomenal,

658
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 3: I bet, and it well, well there's a little tip

659
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 3: for everyone.

660
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 5: Well I'm glad you have a little sweet tree.

661
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 4: And you know, I thought, if anything, these cakes are

662
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 4: hard to come by, and so I like to I

663
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 4: like to share those cakes, you know, in the in

664
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 4: the rare times that I get one, I thought, oh

665
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 4: my god, I can actually share this cake with somebody else.

666
00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 5: It's gonna be.

667
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: Bridger essentially my Tom Cruise.

668
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, the next I'm gonna be sliding

669
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 4: down the hallway in my underwear and a white shirt.

670
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 3: I wonder what poor assistant is doing all that cake

671
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 3: purchasing and delivering. It's probably a whole army of people.

672
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 3: The whole army of people. And it's not like I've

673
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 3: followed his career. It's not like how I go, Well,

674
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 3: I'm not. I don't think I've ever seen a Mission

675
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: Impossible movie. Don't say this, You're not gonna get the

676
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 3: top loco. Oh no, wait is a dedicated listener.

677
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 5: Oh no, I'm it's in my queue. I'm gonna I'm

678
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 5: gonna watch them all.

679
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 4: I'm just more like intrigued by the the who's on

680
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 4: the list and who's not on the list, and like

681
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 4: how long do you stay on the list, Like if

682
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 4: you did a movie with him, you get it like

683
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 4: that Christmas and maybe one more, But then are you like.

684
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 5: Off the list.

685
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 4: I'm more like just kind of obsessed with the list

686
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 4: of who gets the cake, why they get the cake,

687
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 4: and why they don't and if you get only the one,

688
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 4: are you like, oh my god, Tom hates me.

689
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 3: Now right, I'm off the list.

690
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 4: So I think part of it is also the intrigue

691
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 4: of the recipients.

692
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love the idea of Tom sitting down with

693
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 3: like a boardroom of people at the beginning of each

694
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: year and saying, who's getting a cake this year? Yeah,

695
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 3: like we need ideas for who's gonna get my cake.

696
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 4: Who's gonna get my cake? Who did I work with?

697
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 4: And do they like once they reach a certain number,

698
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 4: are they like that's enough? Too many cakes? Like we

699
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 4: can't eat like five people have to go and I

700
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 4: love that it's from a tiny bakery in Woodland.

701
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 5: Hills, right.

702
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 3: I wonder how he found it.

703
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 4: I think Joe told me that he was Katie when

704
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 4: he was with Katie Holmes. Or no, maybe it goes

705
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 4: back even further Nicole Kidman, I'm not sure.

706
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 5: I don't know how long. Maybe the cake is only

707
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 5: ten years. I don't know.

708
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 4: Whoever he was with was filming a movie with Diane Keaton, okay,

709
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 4: and Diane Keaton was like on a mission to find

710
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 4: whoever Tom was with, had a huge sweet tooth and

711
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 4: was like, I love cake.

712
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 5: Diane Keaton love cake.

713
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 4: And the two women were like doing a comparison of

714
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 4: like who can find the best cake?

715
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 3: And Diane Keaton found this cake. This does feel like

716
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 3: a Diane Keaton cake. Yeah. I bet she has one

717
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 3: of these, like on a cake stand at all times

718
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 3: in her house.

719
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 4: Probably so, I believe. And this is Joe said this.

720
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 4: So if it's wrong, don't Joe Bolt, don't come after

721
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 4: me with your tweets about the origin of this and

722
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 4: say that I'm spreading false Diane Keaton rumors.

723
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 5: I just was told that she was the one who

724
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 5: found this cake.

725
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 3: I bet Diane would welcome that rumor.

726
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, her house was featured in some architect architectural design magagines. Right, yeah,

727
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 4: and it it is totally the kind of house that

728
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 4: would have this cake sitting.

729
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 3: On, right, I can picture. I mean it's the Nancy

730
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 3: Meers type situation. Oh, I'm so thrilled. Wait, so you've

731

Speaker 4: You know, it's I'm just not I'm not like I

734
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 4: don't watch like a lot of the Marvel movies.

735
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 5: I don't watch the like action things.

736
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 4: I'm more of a rom com gal or a comedy gal.

737
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 4: But so I liked his Days of like you know, gosh,

738
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 4: you know, Days of Thunder and Far, Far and Away,

739
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 4: a good romantic comedy, Jerry maguire, funny comedy, you know that,

740
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 4: those kind of movies.

741
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 3: He has been in a few, like kind of lighter movies,

742
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 3: and he does a great job. He's always so charming.

743
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's just like the action guy now.

744
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 3: Right, I mean he kind of just has a death wish, right,

745
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 3: stunts and trying to prove this sort of thing.

746
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 4: There is a video of him doing his own stunt

747
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 4: where he jumps from one building to the next, and

748
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 4: he breaks his ankle, and then you see the whole

749
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 4: thing happening.

750
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 3: I saw this. I had he.

751
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 4: Lifted himself back like he broke it. You see it break,

752
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 4: and he still lifts himself up. Like anyway, I'm not

753
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 4: let me just preference by saying I'm not like this

754
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 4: is a super fan.

755
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 3: He's fine. I need you to just own up to

756
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 3: He's a cool guy.

757
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 4: I guess I don't really even know him. I like

758
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 4: his old movies, so I'm not a super fan. I'm

759
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 4: just obsessed with this case.

760
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 3: You just know that he's good at giving away cakes. Yeah,

761
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 3: and also you're obsessed with his career, and you know

762
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 3: all Tom Cruise trivia. I think that's fair.

763
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, oh gosh, no, oh no.

764
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sorry. When you come on and record a podcast,

765
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 3: truths are revealed, the.

766
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 5: Truth are revealed.

767
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 4: I was just like, you need to try this cake

768
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 4: because it's infamous.

769
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 3: You, I mean, just absolutely nail. I mean, what God

770
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,919
Speaker 3: send this is. I mean I would like to maybe

771
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 3: put Tom Cruise giving this me this cake on a

772
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 3: vision board as well. Then maybe it's kind of a

773
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 3: competition between you.

774
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 4: And I yeah, you might end up you might get

775
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 4: it first, because I've revealed I haven't seen any the

776
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 4: mention impossible, so them all I might have taken myself

777
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 4: off the list.

778
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 3: Well, I think I would like to just make you know,

779
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 3: maybe a verbal agreement with you right now. Whoever, whichever

780
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 3: one of us gets the cake from Tom Cruise first, Yeah,

781
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 3: will give the other a bite of that. That's specific

782
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 3: version of this. That's nice.

783
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like that. I uh or well, I wasn't

784
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 5: sure which way you were going.

785
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 4: If we would give each other a bit or taunt

786
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 4: each other, I'd be like, haha, second, I got it first.

787
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 3: Drived by your house with the cake strapped to the

788
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 3: top of my car. Yeah, kind of blasting my horn

789
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 3: circle the block a few times.

790
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 5: Just a big old taunt.

791
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 3: You got the cake, flying down and pecking at this

792
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 3: cake that you wanted so bad and mean.

793
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, I'm cutting out pictures from my vision boarding a

794
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 4: twenty sevens like a serial killer, and you get the cake.

795
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 3: That's life works like that. Sometimes life can surprise you. Okay,

796
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 3: I think it's time to play a game. All right,

797
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 3: let's do it. We're gonna play a game called Gift

798
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 3: or a curse. Oh, okay, I need a number between

799
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 3: one and ten.

800
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 6: Eight.

801
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 3: Okay, I have to do some light calculating to get

802
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 3: our game pieces, the things we're going to work with.

803
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 5: Okay.

804
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 3: In the meantime, you can recommend something, you can promote something,

805
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 3: you can truly do whatever you want. You have to Mic,

806
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 3: I'll be right back.

807
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess while I'm here. I am on tour.

808
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 4: I have a brand new hour of stand up after

809
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 4: my Netflix special Sweet and Salty, premiered in twenty twenty.

810
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 4: It's on that site. It's on Netflix. If you want

811
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 4: to see a Netflix special, check that out. I put

812
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 4: this tour up. It was supposed to start in March

813
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty. Obviously that did not happen. So a

814
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 4: year and a half later, here I am on tour

815
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 4: and I'm coming to cities all over the country. So

816
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 4: if you like stand up comedy, if you like to laugh,

817
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 4: if you like to feel positive silly things in your belly,

818
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 4: come to one of my stand up shows. You can

819
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 4: go to fortune Femster dot com for tickets. Beautifully, don

820
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 4: thank you.

821
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 5: I wasn't sure how much time you need.

822
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 3: And that's up almost perfectly with my calculating. All right,

823
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 3: it was meant to be. Okay, this is how the

824
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 3: game works. I'm gonna name three things, and you're gonna

825
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 3: tell me if there are a gift or a curse

826
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 3: and why. And you just have to be extremely careful

827
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 3: because there are correct answers. There's a chance that you

828
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 3: get zero and then it's I mean, it just adds

829
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 3: to the sadness of not getting the cake from Tom

830
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 3: Cruise or why just bad thing after bad thing happens

831
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 3: t follows you. Okay, with all that in mind, the

832
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 3: first one up is a listener suggestion from someone named Hannah.

833
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 3: Hannah has written a gift or a curse funky toilets,

834
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 3: And when she wrote this in she said she included

835
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 3: a photo of a toilet in the shape of a

836
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 3: high heel shoe.

837
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 5: Oh, so I have to decide if that's a gift

838
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 5: or a curse.

839
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 3: Yes, and tell me why a high heel shoe. Well,

840
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 3: and it doesn't have to necessarily be a high heel shoe.

841
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 3: I think she basically.

842
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 4: Meant novelty shape novelty shapes. I mean, I could see

843
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 4: why you would say high heel because if you sat

844
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 4: up top, you definitely wanted to get the flow to

845
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 4: go down, you.

846
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 5: Know what I mean, as long as there's a.

847
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 4: Base, a basin that they can go into at the bottom,

848
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 4: that works for me. Uh So, that to me sounds

849
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 4: like a gift. Uh Like, toilets are boring, why not

850
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 4: why not use it.

851
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 3: Up a little bit fortune excellent? Of course, I've never

852
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 3: used a funky toilet. I've never had a novelty toilet.

853
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 3: I've never even seen one in real life. But just

854
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 3: from this, this photo alone, that she sent this beautiful

855
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 3: high heel shoe toilet. Yeah, toilets are all the same shape.

856
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 3: Occasionally they're a different color. But why not, let's get it.

857
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 3: Let's just get in there and make them strange shape,

858
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 3: make them funky, you can make them. There are things

859
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 3: you could have. A toilet this shape of a horse,

860
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 3: giant tooth, I mean giant. The possibilities are truly endless.

861
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 3: You could have.

862
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 4: It would be fun if there was a toilet in

863
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 4: the shape of a hand, like like laying flat and

864
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 4: so you sat on the hand.

865
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 3: I don't know, that's excellent. Yeah, I mean that's the

866
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 3: if that hasn't happened already. The toilet industry should be

867
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 3: shut down. Yeah, so then they're like, are you sitting

868
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 3: on a hand?

869
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 5: I mean that's my toilet.

870
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 3: Maybe a toilet the shape of a tornado, like a

871
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 3: little tornado you're shut on the top of.

872
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 4: I like that or or like or you know those

873
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 4: little in the mall they have like little electric I

874
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 4: don't know, like dinosaurs, like you ride up like a

875
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 4: little tiny looks like one of those.

876
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 3: And I think it should move. I think it should

877
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 3: be kind of a like a mechanical situation.

878
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 4: Oh no, I could get messy.

879
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, you're off to such a good start. I'm

880
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 3: very proud of you already.

881
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 5: Thank you.

882
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 3: Okay, next up, this is uh gifter a curse. Clapping

883
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 3: along to music.

884
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, this is tough because it really depends on

885
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 4: the clapper.

886
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 5: If you if you have no rhythm, if you're not

887
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 5: really aware.

888
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 4: Of beats, you can really mess up a song with claps.

889
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 4: And you know, you could throw the whole vibe of

890
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 4: a song off with your just wrong claps. So I'm

891
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 4: gonna say it's a curse. We don't need Let they

892
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 4: let them sing, let them do their thing. We don't

893
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 4: need you to insert your terrible rhythm into it.

894
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 3: Fortune Oh no, look, I understand where you're coming from here. Okay,

895
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 3: let's just first of all say, flat out objectively, clap

896
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 3: along to music is a gift. Okay, I see where

897
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 3: you're coming from here. Uh, And I guess I think

898
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 3: it's delightful. But I'm only speaking for myself clapping along.

899
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 3: I'm in the car, I'm clapping like I'm having the

900
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 3: time of my life.

901
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 5: I've never clapped to music before.

902
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 4: You haven't, like if I was in a church situation,

903
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 4: maybe like I love Jesus.

904
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, we are singing some Jesus songs. Hey man, Jesus.

905
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 4: That makes sense, But like, like, what what even like

906
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 4: it's Britney bitch, you know, I don't know.

907
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 3: I would love for Britney spears to start really leaning

908
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 3: heavily on hand claps. And yeah, I.

909
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 4: Mean certain songs you're like, yeah that there's some clapping involved.

910
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 4: But a few songs I know that there's that they're like,

911
00:48:58,239 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 4: now you guys, clap.

912
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 3: It's the it's the thing that maybe it's because the

913
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 3: fact that I can't really sing along because I'm terrible.

914
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 3: I'm a terrible singer. Also, Okay, you know it's like

915
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 3: a little entryway for the non singer to participate in

916
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 3: the sun.

917
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 5: That's true. That's true.

918
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 4: So we have to like really dig into the situation

919
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 4: someone's in as to when or not they're clapping right

920
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 4: a little.

921
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 3: Yeah that sounds nice. I mean, I welcome it in

922
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 3: any situation. Yeah, you're deadly wrong and everyone hates.

923
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 2: To hear it.

924
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 3: But that's fine. Deadly wrong, Okay. Final one. This is

925
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 3: from a listener named Jesse, who has suggested gift or

926
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 3: a curse mashed potatoes with chunks of potato skin mixed in,

927
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 3: so it's kind of a less traditional mashed potato.

928
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 4: Some people really like that, you know, they want the skin.

929
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 4: It gives it a little texture. I'm Southern, we didn't

930
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 4: have no skin in our taters. So I'm gonna need

931
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 4: you to, uh properly.

932
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 5: I'm gonna need you to take the.

933
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 4: Extra steps to skin your potatoes because I think it's

934
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 4: only in there because you're being lazy. You don't want

935
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 4: to skin them, you don't wanna, you don't want to

936
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 4: take the necessary steps to have a clean, perfect potato

937
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 4: to then mash.

938
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 5: So that's on you, So don't act like it's supposed

939
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 5: to be there.

940
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 3: It's not you're saying, Uh, it's a curse it, curse fortune.

941
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 3: You got one out of three. Let's just watch. I

942
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 3: love my potato with it. What do you have against

943
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 3: a little rustic charm. It's it's got a texture, it's

944
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 3: got dirt in it. The skin is dirt in it.

945
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 3: The skin does not have dirt in it.

946
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 4: When you when you bite down and you've tast that

947
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 4: little sandy crunch, that's dirt.

948
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 3: I don't know who's been making your mashed potatoes with

949
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 3: the skin mixed in, but it sounds like a very

950
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 3: lazy person who did skip even the washing aspect. Yeah,

951
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 3: well look I'm not I'm a purist.

952
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 5: I'm a purist.

953
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 4: I need honey potatos, no skin, no skin on me

954
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 4: or taters.

955
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 3: I'm ashamed to be on a zoom with somebody with

956
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 3: such a simplistic view of mashed potatoes. Oh no, I

957
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 3: can't handle it.

958
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 4: We have to ask the listeners now to write in

959
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 4: and tell us their preference of skin.

960
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 5: Skin.

961
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 3: The listener actually will be involved. This will be on

962
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 3: the Instagram with a poll. Okay, we're going to find

963
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 3: out the truth. Well, I mean, we're not going to

964
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 3: find what am I talking about? I have stated the truth.

965
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 5: The truth is left interpretation. No, no, no, the truth

966
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 5: is in the eye of them out.

967
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:07,439
Speaker 3: Hoolder fortune to see you desperately claw at some sort

968
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 3: of success. Here is breaking my heart.

969
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 5: Well I tried, I tried.

970
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 4: I know there are listeners right now that are on

971
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 4: my side, and that's what will help me sleep at night.

972
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 3: You came out really strong with the toilet thing, and

973
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 3: you got cocky, and I got cocky.

974
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 5: I thought for sure that one thing would be a curse.

975
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 3: Well, look, it's time for the final segment of the podcast.

976
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 3: This is called I said no emails, people write into

977
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 3: I said no gifts at gmail dot com. So many

978
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 3: people have so many problems, and they're usually gift related

979
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 3: or social situations that these people simply can't figure out

980
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 3: how to do on their own. So they turned to

981
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 3: me and you the guest.

982
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 5: Oh that's nice.

983
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 3: Would you help me with help me answer a question here?

984
00:52:55,640 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I too said no emails. But fine, let's

985
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 3: give this a shot. Let's see. Here's one. Okay. This says, hello,

986
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 3: bridge or and guest, I am planning my holiday gifts

987
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 3: early this year and need your input on if it's

988
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 3: acceptable to give a few months of therapy. Oh, my

989
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 3: friend had a rough COVID and used alcohol a bit

990
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 3: too often to cope, which strains some of his relationships.

991
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 3: He's been trying to get his shit together for some

992
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 3: time and could probably use professional help. Is this a

993
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 3: thoughtful gift or an insulting gift? Yours sincerely, Nicole. Interesting,

994
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 3: this is a very complicated That is complicated, indeed, Nicole,

995
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 3: Look therapy, of course, I support it in almost every situation.

996
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 3: Giving therapy to someone is a difficult situation. Look, does

997
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 3: the friend need therapy? Probably? I think that's clear from

998
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 3: the four lines of this email. I've got a good

999
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 3: look at this person's life and what's going to solve

1000
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 3: their problems. I'm going to say, And now that I've

1001
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 3: said all that, I'm gonna say, definitely give him therapy. Wow,

1002
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 3: I think see that coming. Do some light research, you know,

1003
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 3: just poke around on the internet, find a therapist that

1004
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 3: you like the photo of, and then send them the

1005
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 3: few hundred dollars for however many sessions, and then make

1006
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 3: sure you're present when the friend opens the gift. Now, fortunate,

1007
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 3: How are you feeling about this?

1008
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 5: Well?

1009
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 4: I think it only can work if you've had a

1010
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 4: conversation with that friend and the friend has said, I

1011
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 4: really I think I should go to therapy. I think

1012
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 4: I just I don't know where to go or how

1013
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 4: do I even get started. There has to have been

1014
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 4: some sort of communication on their.

1015
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 3: End and this is what they want.

1016
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 4: You can't like, I know, we all do it all

1017
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,919
Speaker 4: the time, Like you're like, that person needs to talk

1018
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 4: to somebody here, this person, that person has some big problems.

1019
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 4: They might not realize that they have those problems and

1020
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 4: need right to talk to someone. So if you're like, hey,

1021
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,919
Speaker 4: I thought you could use some therapy, it can be

1022
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 4: insulting if they've not said that themselves.

1023
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 3: So you're saying, my idea for you know, plan a

1024
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 3: big fun birthday party. Everyone bring gifts and gather around

1025
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 3: the friend while he opens my gift of therapy. May

1026
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 3: not be the route to go.

1027
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 5: That might not be the route.

1028
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that could be an awkward gift reveal where all

1029
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 4: of a sudden they're like, here's a you know, two

1030
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 4: hundred dollars worth.

1031
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 3: Of better help. You never know though, and guess he's

1032
00:55:54,360 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 3: got like a Jack Daniel's bottle, Like what, I'm fine well, Nicole,

1033
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 3: you have two, you know, opposing views on this matter.

1034
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 3: Fortune's made one of us. We are just, you know,

1035
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 3: truly two minutes out from Fortune failing spectacularly on the game.

1036
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,760
Speaker 3: Oh no, So it's hard to it's hard to believe

1037
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 3: anything this person is saying at this point. You know,

1038
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 3: everything she says could be built on a lie. It

1039
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 3: could be or genius or genius. The same could be

1040
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 3: said for me. But I feel like I'm probably the

1041
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 3: person you want to listen, Tom, But that's truly up

1042
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 3: to you, and I hope that you come to some

1043
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 3: you know, some gift. The friend needs a gift of

1044
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 3: some sort. We've talked about cake and therapy. That has

1045
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 3: two potential gifts on this podcast. So those are some options.

1046
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, they can either eat their feelings and you're talking

1047
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 5: about their.

1048
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 3: Feelings, right, maybe stop drinking the feeling. But I'm glad

1049
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 3: you wrote in, Nicole, because you were able to get

1050
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 3: excellent advice. Yeah, you're welcome, Fortune. This cake is outstanding.

1051
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 3: What a beautiful gift, and what a wonderful revelation about

1052
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 3: Tom Cruise, the cake master.

1053
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 4: You know, I hope somebody learned something today about Tom Cruise.

1054
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 5: Cake and blimps. That's all I care about.

1055
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 4: I'm just impressed that you have created a podcast that

1056
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 4: where you get gifts every week. I'm most jealous of that.

1057
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 3: Not, you know, with the amount of items stacking up

1058
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 3: in my home, not all. Maybe not something I would

1059
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 3: advise someone.

1060
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 5: To do, gotcha, gotcha.

1061
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 3: But you know, occasionally I get a nice piece of

1062
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 3: cake that I just get to eat and then I

1063
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 3: don't have to end. I've also got this beautiful ziploc container,

1064
00:57:58,040 --> 00:57:59,439
Speaker 3: which you will not be getting back.

1065
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 4: There you go, that's part of the gift. I mean,

1066
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 4: I listen. I don't want you to be a hoarder.

1067
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 4: I don't want to contribute to your horder ways if

1068
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 4: that's what this podcast is leading to. So it kind

1069
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 4: of I'm glad that I could give you something that

1070
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 4: will eventually go away.

1071
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, and truly we need to get the

1072
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 3: word out to Tom Cruise. If you know someone who

1073
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 3: knows Tom Cruise, if you know someone who knows someone

1074
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 3: who knows someone who knows Tom Cruise, if you're deep

1075
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:32,959
Speaker 3: in scientology, oh and you're listening here within the sound

1076
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 3: of my voice, Let's get the word out. Fortune deserves

1077
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 3: a cake from Tom Cruise.

1078
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 4: There you go, it's and what a better time to

1079
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 4: get one? Then there's no better time than the holidays, Christmas.

1080

1085
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 3: It's so much fun. And listener, I feel like you're

1086
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 3: probably not going to be getting this cake from Tom

1087
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 3: Cruise and I apologize, but start making a vision board

1088
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 3: for yourself. Or did we actually? Fortune? By the way,

1089
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 3: did you ever name the bakery?

1090
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 4: I believe it's pronounced domes domes do o a in

1091
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 4: apostrophe s domes kind of like the d version of joan. Yep, exactly,

1092
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 4: that's done. That's how you Yeah, I just looked it up.
