1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Hello, listener, it's Bridger. We're not in the backyard. In fact,

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm just in my weird little recording space here and

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: the show has not started. We haven't heard the theme song.

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: The theme song, by the way, we credit her at

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: the end of every episode, but I want to say

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: it up top is written and performed by Amy Mann,

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: and she did such a terrific job with it. I

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: feel like I could never stop giving her credit for that.

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, it's the best song in podcasting. I

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: won't hear another word about it, Okay, I need to.

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: There's a reason I'm here. There is a reason I'm here,

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: and it's because the bad news is is this is

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: a re release of last year's holiday special. I'm not

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: to blame here. I'm actually I'm entirely to blame here.

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: I did not have the time or the energy this year.

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: I just couldn't do it. Last year, we had what

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: ninety eight guests or something, and there were all of

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: the games which were terrific and on a least, did

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: such a beautiful job with the sound effects, and actually,

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: on aalse maybe you can put some sort of sound

21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: effect behind my voice on this. I don't know, a

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: wind blowing, a fire crackling, a Christmas horse hoods, bells

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: jingling or jangling. I don't know what buttons. You have

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: access to do whatever you want, and you don't have

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: to cut me out. You know you don't have to

26
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: cut this little bit of audio of me directing you

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: here out. This is reality, this is the podcast. The

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: listener deserves to know that I demanded some sound effects. Okay,

29
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: now what are we? Why am I here? It's a

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: re release of the episode. I couldn't let the year

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: pass without wishing you a happy holidays. And I don't

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: want to hear any complaints. I don't want to hear

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: any screaming. If Snoopy can coast on his Peanuts Holiday

34
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: special for I don't know sixty years, I can do

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: it at least once. It's a great episode. I hope

36
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: you enjoy it, and I hope you got everything you

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: wanted for the holidays. You deserve it, and look, the

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: little wish in my heart is that you'll tell somebody

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: about the podcast, that you'll corner a family member or

40
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: friend and tell them, or get on you know, your

41
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: various social medias and say something. Do whatever you need

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: to do I give and give and give and give

43
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: and give. It's the least you can do anyway. Let's

44
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: all try to have a bare minimum a decent twenty

45
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: twenty three, Happy holidays. I love you. Here's the show.

46
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,280

Speaker 3: your presence is presents and I'm already too much stuff.

50
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: So how do you dare disurbey.

51
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Mean welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm bridge or wineger.

Speaker 1: I'm so happy you're here. I'm happy to be with you.

53
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: The fire's roaring. I have holiday drinks set out, you know,

54
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: hot cocoa, a variety of spiced liquids, the eggnog of

55
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: horse room temperature water. I'm just kind of in a robe.

56
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: Everyone's too afraid to say something. The tree is sparkling.

57
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: There's a single cookie for each guest on our system. Please,

58
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: I have the rustat said to eighty seven. And of

59
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: course I've sealed the door so no one can get

60
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: in or out. What a special episode this is going

61
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: to be. My wonderful producer, Annalisa and I have rounded

62
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: up a variety of guests that you might recall from

63
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: past episodes, and what we have today is the podcast

64
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: equivalent of a super Spreader event. Each of the guests

65
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: today have brought me a gift before, but the holidays,

66
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: if nothing else, are a time for forgiveness. So I

67
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: invited them all back and made them swear they wouldn't

68
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: bring a gift this time by threatening legal action. For

69
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: the next little while, it's going to be NonStop games.

70
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: That's the deal here. We have Gift or a Curse.

71
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: We've got Gift Master and a very special do or

72
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: die lightning version of Gift or a Curse. A lot

73
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: of big opinions this episode. Some will win, many will lose.

74
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: If you have a moment as a little gift to me,

75
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: why don't you rate and review this podcast? I mean,

76
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: if you haven't done it already, shame on you. I

77
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: ask for so little. This is the bare minimum you

78
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: can do for me. And if you're surrounded by family,

79
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: maybe corner someone recommend the show, Say you know, grandma,

80
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: you got to listen to this podcast, and then remind

81
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: them later about it. Maybe send them an email as well,

82
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, just keep reminding it's okay if the relationship

83
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: is permanently damaged. You're doing this for me, and look,

84
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 1: I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season. Fantastic time,

85
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: of course I do. No matter what you celebrate. You've

86
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: got your Christmases, your kwans As, your Hanukkahs, your Winter Solstices,

87
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: your Boxing Days, your New Year's Eves. I'm sure I'm

88
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: missing something unless you're listening to this episode at another

89
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: time of year, in which case I don't know. Happy Easter,

90
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: Happy Father's Day, Happy Halloween, Happy National Asthma and Allergy

91
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: Awareness Month. Anyway, it's time to begin playing, so I

92
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: need everyone to settle down and pay attention. First up,

93
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: let's play a nice round of Gift Master with the

94
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: terrific Lauren Lampkis. I feel like the last time we played,

95
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: we talked about Zachary ty Bryan, Yes, and then he

96
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: got shortly after was arrested. Yes, ran into some legal trouble.

97
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: So we'll just hope that that doesn't happen in today's game.

98
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 4: Well, hopefully something good happens to him now or not.

99
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, could be a bad guy. I feel like

100
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: he is a bad guy.

101
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know.

102
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 5: He played Brad with ease and a plum.

103
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. So with Gift Master, you know, I'll name the

104
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: three potential gifts. I'll name the three celebrities. You'll tell

105
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: me which gift you're going to give, which celebrity and

106
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: why you know. And it is the holiday season, so

107
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: we've got to be extra thoughtful. But the gifts you'll

108
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: be giving are We've got a lot of experience gifts here. Well,

109
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: actually maybe not. Let me just say we've got a

110
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: healthy work life balance. That's one gift. Number two you'll

111
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: be giving an ass that won't quit. And number three

112
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: you'll be giving a frappucino.

113
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 4: Okay, that's a small or not that great.

114
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: And you'll be giving them to the following people. Let's

115
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: see here Bruno Mars Pop Sensation, Bruno Mars, so when

116
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: I adore Diane Weese, I love her, fantastic actor. And

117
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: number three, we've got Prince Charles.

118
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Okay, this is really hard. Okay, Well,

119
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 5: two of the gifts are life changing and one is

120
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 5: a frappucino. Okay, So I love Diane Weeze so much.

121
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 5: I think she's one of the best actors of our time,

122
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 5: and really no one's talking about her right now. She's fantastic.

123
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 5: Everything she's ever been in, she's like amazing. I kind

124
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 5: of imagine she's somebody who has a good work life balance.

125
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: Because I feel like she chooses like really good projects.

126
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 5: She's not always in something, but she's always in something good, right,

127
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 5: and so she's probably not saying yes all the time

128
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 5: to things. So I'm just gonna say that. And then

129
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 5: Bruno Mars, I just don't. I don't really care about

130
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 5: no offense.

131
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: You don't adore No, I'm.

132
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 4: Okay, But I feel his songs do get stuck in

133
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: my head. I haven't looked at his ass.

134
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 5: I'm gonna guess that it won't quit because I feel

135
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 5: like he dances a lot, so he's probably good. He

136
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 5: probably doesn't have as good of a work life balance

137
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 5: because he's a musician, and I feel like they work

138
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 5: so hard in their ways doing shows and it's like

139
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 5: a huge deal and they're touring and blah blah blah.

140
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: He's in the super Bowl four times a year.

141
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 5: This, yes, I exactly. And then we have Prince Charles,

142
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 5: who how old is he?

143
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess, uh, one I'm picturing of Prince Charles.

144
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess he's seventy one.

145
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I was thinking for a second

146
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 4: of the older one who passed, you.

147
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, Prince. We're talking about Prince Philip, who could

148
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: be alive or dead. It's I know.

149
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 5: All I know is that his corpse was writing in

150
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 5: the back of a limo and a picture that I saw.

151
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: That corpse has been in a lot of cars over the.

152
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 5: Last a good picture. Okay, So Prince Charles is like

153
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 5: in his seventies. He look, he doesn't work right.

154
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: Hard to say. He could have a little Etsy shop

155
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: on the side. He's got a side hustle going.

156
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 4: Okay, here's what I'm gonna do.

157
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 5: I'm going to give Prince Charles the frappatino because he

158
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 5: probably can't go to is it Starbucks.

159
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: Or is this just a frappetina?

160
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: Is that rapid? Let's say it's a Starbucks frapati.

161
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say he doesn't get to go to Starbucks ever,

162
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 5: and he doesn't get to have like what the people have, right,

163
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 5: so he always he has like a fancy person who

164
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 5: makes him his own drinks. So this is like a

165
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 5: special treat to have, like a commoner's beverage. And then

166
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 5: I'm going to give Bruno Mars the work life balance

167
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 5: because he is very busy and maybe he doesn't have

168
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 5: enough time for his personal life. And then I'm giving

169
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 5: Dan We's the ass that won't quit because she deserves it.

170
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: At this point, she absolutely deserves it, She's earned it.

171
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean again, I can't I can't picture Diane's ass.

172
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: She might already have one, and it's none of our business. No,

173
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: it's none of our business what her ass looks like

174
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: at all. But it wouldn't hurt to feel great about

175
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: your ass. And if she has any doubts about it now,

176
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: it won't quit. I think that's perfect. Bruno Mars, we

177
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: can tell he's a workaholic. Time to take a break.

178
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: He needs to relax.

179
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, then Charles is sipping at that.

180
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 5: I just love the idea of him just being delivered

181
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 5: with his name spelled wrong, like a Starbucks drink.

182
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 4: It's just charlel It's like Prince Charle.

183
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: Well, you did it. I mean, you're always very thoughtful,

184
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: you do it excellently every time, and this is no surprise.

185
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 5: Well, I try you know I love to give gifts,

186
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 5: and I know you always say no gifts, but you

187
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 5: love to receive them.

188
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 4: So it's your favorite time of year.

189
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: No doubt, I'm having an excellent time. I'm just waiting

190
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: through a sea of gifts and this kind of thing.

191
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 5: What I'm just going to say, one thing about the

192
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 5: Christmas season is that I my thing right now that

193
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 5: I'm getting excited about is wrapping gifts because so often

194
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 5: we're mailing gifts online to each other where we don't

195
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 5: get the gift wrapping, especially because of COVID we weren't traveling.

196
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 5: Everyone's just getting packages in the mail with a little

197
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 5: receipt that has a message on it. I'm going to

198
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 5: wrap the gifts and I'm going to hand deliver the gift.

199
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: So this is the wow.

200
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 5: I mean if I can, unless it's people out of state.

201
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 5: But I'm saying I'm not ordering something to be delivered

202
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 5: to somebody at this point right when.

203
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean, because everyone can just order themselves something and get.

204
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 4: Another it's not that exciting exactly.

205
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 5: It's so fun to and I have all this wrapping

206
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: paper I never use, so I'm excited to use it.

207
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: Are you a good rapper?

208
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good.

209
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 5: I grew up wrapping gifts with my mom, and I

210
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 5: understand the importance of a tight corner. I'm so jealous,

211
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 5: but sometimes I phone it in and I just kind

212
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 5: of like, let it be smushy, and I don't really care.

213
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: Well, do you have any holiday wishes you'd like to

214
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:36,520

215

Speaker 6: Yo?

00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: Fuck Santa.

217
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 7: No.

218
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 4: I have a baby now.

219
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: So this is my first Christmas with a baby, and

220
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 5: so this is very very exciting to me because I

221
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 5: love holidays, I love traditions, and I'm really excited to

222
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 5: start traditions with my baby. So that's my my dream

223
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 5: and wish for this Christmas season is my own.

224
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: It's just about me.

225
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well now our next guest contestant is none

226
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: other than the very funny Danielle Perez. Danielle. The last

227
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: time we spoke, my half of my face was numb

228
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: from the dentist. But today it's the holidays. We're gonna

229
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: have a lovely time. We're playing do or die gift

230
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: or a curse. I'm gonna name one thing. You're gonna

231
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: tell me if it's a gift or a curse and why,

232
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: and that I'm gonna tell you if you won the

233
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: game or not.

234
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 8: I love one shot.

235
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: I love just having one shot. Y, Well, you could

236
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: go either way darker light. But it is a holiday season,

237
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: so hopefully you'll win. But who knows. So here we

238
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: go gift or a curse? Friends and family sales? So

239
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: these are the friends and family sales that you'll get

240
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: an email like, I don't know, j Crew. Friends and

241
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: family sale a.

242
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 9: Curse, honestly a curse.

243
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 8: You buy too much, you go too hard.

244
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 10: You're left with the impulse.

245
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 9: To go, oh yeah, I love that color.

246
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 8: That color is gonna look great on me, and you're

247
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 8: you have a short true sweater.

248
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 9: You can't even give it away to wait out of it.

249
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: Danielle excellent. I mean that's not the logic I'm using here.

250
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: I do think they're a curse. But the reason I

251
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: think they're a curse so I don't feel like these

252
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: are really friends and family sales. I feel like if

253
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: I am an actual friend or family of the you know,

254
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: the gap employee, I'm getting a better discount. People are

255
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: it waters the whole thing down. We've got to think

256
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: of a new term for this. You can't just blast

257
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: out an email to one hundred thousand people calling them

258
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: friends and family.

259
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 11: It's just now, yeah, it really, it is diluting the

260
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 11: whole like friend and family tier.

261
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 10: I haven't thought of that.

262
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: Wow, right, I don't want to become friends with you know,

263
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: the Uniclo employee. Uh, and then find out that everyone's

264
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: a friends and family.

265
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 8: Everyone's a fan friend for those two weeks, we're all

266
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 8: friends and family.

267
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: No, thank you, We justus were in the meeting.

268
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 11: Stuck in the same store, making impulse purchases, acting on

269
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 11: our base instincts, leaving the place that we have like

270
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 11: inhabited for the last few hours, just like in shambles.

271
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 8: And for what friends and family behavior?

272
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 6: For god? Oh my god.

273
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 8: Okay, fifteen percent off is not a friends in fair.

274
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. I think a lot of

275
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: these things are fating as a friends and family and

276
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: you're getting fifteen percent. Now if I'm if you're going

277
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: to call me a friend or a family member, you're

278
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: going to give me thirty percent minimum. Let's talk fifty percent?

279
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 8: Okay, see fifty percent Now we're friends in fail yes?

280
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 10: Now, I mean that's.

281
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: Like in re circle, we're basically marya Yes.

282
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 8: If a brand would like to marry me.

283
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 10: If you open to that.

284
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: Reach out, get down and you know, get on bended

285
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: knee and ask Danielle to marry you. That's all I got.

286
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 11: Let's make this thing legit. Come on, you're living in

287
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 11: sin senty beauty, get it together.

288
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: Excellently played, Danielle. I mean, you just knocked it out

289
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: of the park. It's nice when the end of the

290
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: year you get it a little win. Yes, another lightning

291
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: round version of gift or a curse with John Gabris. Okay,

292
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: gift or a curse Gabris, and please be careful. We

293
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: don't want you to ruin the twenty twenty one for

294
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: yourself and the holidays are shattered. Gift a curse. Tall sandwiches.

295
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 6: Tall sandwiches.

296
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: You know we're talking Scooby Doo style giant tall sandwiches.

297
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 12: Okay, well, here's the thing. My favorite food in the

298
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 12: world is sandwiches. So by design, just the noun without

299
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 12: the modifier hits me and I go gift. But the

300
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 12: thing is the one thing a sandwich shouldn't be now

301
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 12: and I like a lot of meat and a lot

302
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 12: of bullshit on my sandwiches. But the one thing a

303
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 12: sandwich shouldn't be is tall. I think you can go longer, bigger, thicker, white,

304
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 12: but taller. And I have a huge I have a

305
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 12: huge mouth brand, but I don't even like to have

306
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 12: like I like a fat sandwich.

307
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 6: Like I'm a New Yorker.

308
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 12: When you get sandwiches anywhere besides New York, it's like, yeah,

309
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 12: we got some turkey and cheese and New York, it's

310
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 12: like you get if you get a cream cheese bagel,

311
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 12: you get like an inch and a half of cream cheese.

312
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 12: And I fucking love that. But there is a limit

313
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 12: to the height of a like no one goes, oh, dude,

314
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 12: my deli. You gotta love this place. They have the

315
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 12: tallest sandwiches like that. No one, So I'll go with curse.

316
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: You absolutely got it. I mean, what a beautiful fuck.

317
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 12: Yes, I was really worried for a second.

318
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: Holy shit, this is fucking great. I adore a sandwich,

319
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: but a tall sandwich is the worst possible experience any

320
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: sandwich where I have to break it down without my mouth.

321
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: The only thing I should be using is my mouth

322
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: to break down the sandwich, chewing, chewing, chewing.

323
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 12: I don't hate if some like mayoed up chicken cutlet

324
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 12: shoots out the back and I gotta do a little restrike.

325
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: That's fine, right, but if you got your fucking.

326
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 12: Shit so stacked where it's like, yeah, I gotta bite

327
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 12: through eleven layers to fucking fuck that.

328
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: Uh no, absolute curse. They look fantastic, of course, it's

329
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. Impossible to eat. It doesn't work. It

330
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: works against what the nature of the product even is.

331
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: Tall sandwiches. We've got to get away from it. That

332
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,240

00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: Oh, we'll see Oscar gift or a curse. Now, this

347
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: is an interesting one. Golden Rod. Are you familiar with

348
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: golden Rod? The color? I know, golden Rod? The color

349
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: is that? Is there something out? Is it just golden

350
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: rod from you know the paper that's the color of

351
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: golden Rod?

352
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 9: Exactly?

353
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 13: Okay, Okay, I think it's uh, it's a it's a gift.

354
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 13: It's absolutely gift. And why it's a cute. It's not

355
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 13: an offensive color, you know what I mean. It's a

356
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 13: it's a nice, subtle color. It's a nice gift. It

357
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 13: makes people think like, oh, I'm thinking about you. You know,

358
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 13: it could have been like shit brown, and it's not.

359
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 13: It's golden Rod. So I think there's limitless options. Golden

360
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 13: Rod is I think one of the better choices you

361
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 13: can you can gift someone.

362
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: Oscar, Oh, you came in with this confidence, and you're

363
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: so wrong. Golden Rod is a curse. The public school

364
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: system has ruined golden Rod. For me. When I see

365
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: the color, all I think of is a worksheet, a

366
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: word search, or something to take home to mom to sign.

367
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: It's an absolute curse.

368
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, I'm sorry. Yes, actually you're completely right.

369
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, the holidays are forgiving, but they're also

370
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: for apologizing.

371
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 6: Well, I appreciate that.

372
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 13: Sorry, I'm coming clean and I'm being honest with myself,

373
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 13: and for that I am sorry.

374
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 14: I apologize, bitch. Golden Rod is in fact a curse.

375
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: Look, you've you've kind of bottomed out at the end

376
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, But that just means twenty twenty

377
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: two you can start a new You can just you

378
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,280

Speaker 13: Right exactly. I can't get any lower than I am.

380
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 13: Right now, that's a good point.

400
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 15: this is this is this is too sweet. But it

401
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:54,600

402
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:55,200

Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so I like, I love a baby. I

406
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 6: think that is a gift.

407
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 1: Carl, It's the holidays, So I hate to deliver this news.

408
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's a curse, of course. I mean, babies

409
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: are very cute, and it's a fun surprise to see

410
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: a baby waving to you. But there it's so complicated.

411
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: It's like is the baby is it a joke? Are

412
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: they making fun of me?

413
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 6: What is?

414
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: What's the baby's actual game? And now what do I

415
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: owe the baby? Do I wave back? And then people

416
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: are like, what's this adult man waving to the baby doing?

417
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: It's It creates such a complicated web almost immediately, and

418
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: I think I know what. I think the baby knows

419
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They getting you in trouble, they're getting

420
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: me in trouble, or they're at least making me out there.

421
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: I just do I come over and talk to the baby.

422
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: Then the parent is saying, why are you talking to

423
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: my baby? It's a trap. It's an absolute trap. Of course,

424
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: we we appreciate the attempt by babies who maybe purely

425
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: want to wave, but I feel like a lot of

426
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: babies just are trying to, you know, create a situation.

427
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 6: Understood, understood, all right. I was wrong.

428
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 7: I was wrong.

429
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 6: I'm starting off on the bad foot, all.

430
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: Right, not starting off ending on a bad foot. This

431
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: is do or die, and you have failed. Carl.

432
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 6: Oh, dang it.

433
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: Well, do you have any holiday wishes to give?

434
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 15: I wish that all the babies who wave that you

435
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 15: are doing it from a place of goodness and doing

436
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 15: it from a place of kindness and not trying to

437
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 15: get you in trouble.

438
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 6: As an adult man waving at a baby.

439
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: I think that's a great wish. Carl.

440
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,800

460
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: need to be thoughtful about this because it is a

461
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: holiday season. So you don't want anyone going to bed

467

Speaker 1: to the following people. And yeah, obviously some of these

468
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: are experiences, some of them are gifts, but that's you know,

469
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: you have to run the gamut with gift giving. You'll

470
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: be giving them to the following people. Dame Maggie Smith,

471
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: the legendary Dame Maggie Smith.

472
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 7: Okay.

473
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: Number two someone who's more dog royalty. Caesar Milan, the

474
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 1: dog whisperer. Okay, he you know, he trains pets for

475
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: a living. The number guy, the dog guy. And number

476
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: three is Michelle Branch.

477
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 7: Michelle Branch.

478
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: You know that everywhere song I'm.

479
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 16: On Google it looks like Michelle Branch is married to

480
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 16: one of the men from the Black Keys. Okay, congratulations

481
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 16: and also maybe too bad for you.

482
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: So what you're doing is you're defining a woman by

483
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: her male partner.

484
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 16: Yeah, and thanks for putting it that way, doing me

485
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 16: a big favor. You dragged me out of bed and

486
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 16: accuse me of being a misogynist. What a podcast this is.

487
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: Okay, We've got Dave Maggie Smith. We all know her.

488
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: Caesar Milan, He's trained to countless dogs. And then of course,

489
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: Michelle Branch. We're a little foggy on who she is,

490
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: but we have enough of an idea.

491
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 16: Wow, okay, well, I mean I guess Dame Maggie Smith

492
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 16: I like the most out of this group. I'm a

493
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 16: fan of her from such things as Harry Potter.

494
00:27:59,200 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 7: End of list.

495
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: That's kind of where she got her start.

496
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 16: Dame Maggie Smith, Congratulations, you're getting a stylish purse.

497
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: You don't think when that day. Maggie Smith doesn't have

498
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: six closets of stylish purses.

499
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 16: She's probably collected a lot of stylish purses. Now, when

500
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 16: you say stylish purse, are you picturing like what like

501
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 16: something from Target that's cute but inexpensive, or are you

502
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 16: picturings like Gucci or something like that.

503
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm not giving the gift away. I have to show

504
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: up and you get to decide what type of handbag,

505
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: what price range.

506
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 16: If I were to have to give a purse to somebody,

507
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 16: it would stress me out so much because it's it's

508
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 16: like perses. The problem with purses is they do you

509
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 16: can find a cute purse, but it's more of a

510
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 16: status symbol a lot of the time, and it's like

511
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 16: did you spend two grand on this purse. But I think,

512
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 16: to be honest, no offense to anybody out there. If

513
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 16: you're buying into that, you're a lost person and you

514
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 16: need to reevaluate your belief system.

515
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: I guess I'll burn all of my purses.

516
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 7: Okay, So, Dame.

517
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 16: Maggie Smith, congratulations, you get a purse. You don't need

518
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 16: put it in the closet. You're I can't imagine you're

519
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 16: leaving the house very much these days.

520
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: Wow, you've just come for day Maggie Smith. You might

521
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: as well have sent her to helling.

522
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 16: This person I am. I am realizing I'm being I'm

523
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 16: ornery right now. I guess I didn't realize it, but

524
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 16: in talking to you, you're bringing out a spitefulness in

525
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 16: me that I didn't realize I had this morning.

526
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to every one of my relationships. Okay, So day

527
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: Maggie gets the purse. I actually can't argue with that,

528
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: and she probably has a lot, but she could easily

529
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: regift that, and she seems generous. It was that seems

530
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: like it makes sense to me.

531
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 16: Now this is now. These are some tough decisions we

532
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 16: have to make. Here a thirty six month lease on

533
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 16: a Buick Enclave that's.

534
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: Three years in. What I believe is you know, seat

535
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: seven people. This is, I believe is a huge car.

536
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 16: I'm looking at it now. Yeah, it looks like the

537
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 16: modern day suburban. Okay, Well, Caesar Milan, he's you know,

538
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 16: carting around dogs all the time, and so maybe he

539
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 16: needs that space. You know, he throws down a couple

540
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 16: of blankets in the back seat. You know, the dogs

541
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 16: can have some room to breathe back there. Michelle Branch,

542
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 16: I don't know anything about her life at all except

543
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 16: that I saw her in a photo with one of

544
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 16: the people from the Black Keys, and she sang a

545
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 16: song that I've already forgotten. I have to say, that's

546
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 16: one of those songs that when it comes on, I'm like,

547
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 16: catchy tune, sounds good, and then it gets stuck in

548
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 16: my head in a way that upsets me, in the

549
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 16: way that certain pop music does, where it keeps going

550
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 16: and it won't stop, and it creates sort of a

551
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 16: hellish experience for me. And so for that reason, I'm

552
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 16: going to banish Michelle to an eternity in Hell.

553
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, she's going to be heartbroken.

554
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 16: Well, Michelle, you should have thought of that before you

555
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 16: made a song that was good, but more so than

556
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 16: being good, just catchy, and actually that's not always a

557
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 16: good thing.

558
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: I will say this about an eternity in Hell, maybe

559
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: we just look at it as an experience. It's more

560
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: of a trip. It's a you know, you make of

561
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: it what you can. You know, it's like a bad vacation. Yes,

562
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: and there's good in everything. There's probably you know, you

563
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: every town has a good restaurant. I'm sure there's if

564
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: you spend enough time in Hell, you're going to find

565
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, the little hidden spots and you know, cafes

566
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: and eating.

567
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 16: We've got a Chili's and you know what, Chili's is great.

568
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 16: I ate there in high school all the time and

569
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 16: I loved.

570
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: It, right And you know, a lot of people don't

571
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: get to go to Hell, so it's kind of a

572
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of fomo there for a lot of people.

573
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: And this is kind of to know you're going to Hell.

574
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: I think that that there's some luxury to that.

575
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 16: It would be freeing in a way because it's like, okay,

576
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 16: I'm going to Hell. Well now I can really start

577
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 16: living life to the fullest or in whatever way I

578
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 16: want to do. I want I wanted to go on

579
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 16: a killing spree. I can now because it doesn't matter.

580
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: One lies in the heart of Michelle Branch. It's hard

581
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: to say, Matt, you did an excellent job. Well, I'll

582
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: bet I'm going to walk that back. You did a

583
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: fine job. I did a fine job. I mean to

584
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: be honest.

585
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 16: A lot of these people mean, you know, don't come

586
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 16: into my you know perview very often. Dame Maggie Smith again,

587
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 16: she's the one I guess I think about the most.

588
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 16: But if I'm being completely honest, I probably haven't thought

589
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 16: about her in years.

590
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: Well, you have that poster of her behind you. I

591
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: can see right into your zoom. Matt, bless you, bless you,

592
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: and uh yes, happy holidays, Happy Holidays. Why don't we

593
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: play a lightning round of gift or a curse with

594
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: Sam richardson Sam Gift or a curse faux exposed brick curse.

595
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:41,000

Speaker 7: Guys.

Speaker 17: Whatever the structure will make up of our home is.

601
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:58,560

608
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 18: wait a minute, where's the dust? Where's the natural residual

609
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,719

Speaker 7: Is this paper?

Speaker 18: It's not even just paper. It's like glossy. It's like

00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: Sam. I hate to hear this. What an awful answer.

616
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: You're wrong, Oh fox exposed brick. You can turn any

617
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: environment into your own personal Pirates of the Caribbean. You

618
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: can make your home in olive garden. Look, you built,

619
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: Let's say you built your house in two thousand and seven.

620
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: What's stopping you from making it feel like a Mimi's cafe.

621
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: Get the faux exposed brick in there. Everybody loves it. Oh,

622
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 1: it's an absolute gift. Every home should just have endless

623
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: exposed faux foe exposed brick. We love how it looks.

624
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: Everybody adores it authentic. Uh, you know, it really gives

625
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,959
Speaker 1: a theme park feel to almost any room.

626
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 14: Oh this was it was all going so well, wasn't it.

627
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: Well, that's your opinion, and you're wrong. Full exposed brick

628
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: is a gift from beginning to end. No, no, Sam,

629
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: move on, I can't look. You're a sore loser. It's

630
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: not my problem.

631
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 17: So it was the second I go to the you

632
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 17: have full exposed brick, and I go and I see

633
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 17: that you have something nailed into that brick, like you're

634
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 17: saying a painting from it.

635
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 6: I'm like, how'd you do this? It's brick.

636
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 9: You're a lying.

637
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 6: What else is a lie in this place?

638
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: Well, but then you at least had the fun illusion

639
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: of looking at a nail right into brick for a

640
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: moment in time. Your reality was one where brick could

641
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: hold up a painting.

642
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 7: And so then I take I carry.

643
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 17: That into the real world all of a sudden, because

644
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 17: I'm like, oh, the rules are different, all of a sudden.

645
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 17: Now I guess I thought it was impossible. Now it's possible.

646
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 17: I need to hang up his painting in this brick wall.

647
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 17: I'll just go. I'll just take the one nail please,

648
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 17: home depot. It should be good. Just the one nail.

649
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 17: Close my credit card.

650
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: Let me do it, Let me do it. I can

651
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: do it.

652
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 7: I can do it.

653
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 9: I can actually do it.

654
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 7: Don't worry.

655
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 10: Please get off my back.

656
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 19: People are coming over at seven. It's six thirty eight.

657
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 7: I can do this myself.

658
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: Well, Sam, I hate to hear it. The world hates

659
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: to hear it. But you know, occasionally you're wrong, and

660
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: that's fine.

661
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 7: I disagree.

662
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 6: I think time will tell. Time will tell them.

663
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 20: When the aliens come down and they were like, please

664
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 20: take me to your brick walls and then and then

665
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 20: the fire will be like I have it, and they're like,

666
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 20: oh wait a minute.

667
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 19: It's gonna be embarrassing for all of us.

668
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: Well, just know that when you come to my house,

669
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to know that you hate all of my

670
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: foe exposed brick and I'm gonna be so un I'm.

671
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 6: Going to say it, what is this.

672
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 14: In your homes?

673
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 2: Now?

674
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: It's do or die? Gift a curse with Jessica Gow Jessica.

675
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 19: Oh Bridger, you do plicit as bitch.

676
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: So nice to see you.

677
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 19: I can't wait for this.

678
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 21: I was so excited to have this opportunity to redeem

679
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 21: myself because the last time I was on your show,

680
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 21: I was not told the full rules of this game.

681
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: Well you were. You were absolutely told everything you needed

682
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: to know, and you drop the ball. You can't keep

683
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: just projecting your failures onto me. So this is going

684
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: to be a do or die and we'll see who's

685
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:50,959
Speaker 1: who comes out on top.

686
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 22: Here.

687
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 19: Yeah, let's see if good or evil triumphs today.

688
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 1: Okay, well, here we go. It's gift or a curse.

689
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: Gift you a curse confetti in birthday cards?

690
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 19: Oh obvious curse? Are you kidding?

691
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 1: And why?

692
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 10: Well you know.

693
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 21: Here's the thing, though, it depends on your POV. It's

694
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 21: obvious it's a gift for a vengeful person like myself,

695
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 21: because I will absolutely send that to only people that

696
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 21: I hate because it'll ruin It won't just ruin their day,

697
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 21: it'll ruin their lives, especially if they have like carpet

698
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 21: or something, you know, depending on where they open it.

699
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 21: But if you are on the receiving end, it's of

700
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 21: course a curse. You might as well send them a grenade.

701
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: Well, look, you can't just say both sides here. I need.

702
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: I need a definitive answer from Jessica.

703
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 6: Goo.

704
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 19: Fine, it's a curse.

705
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I hate to hear it. You've lost the game.

706
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 19: A gift because you're on the giving end.

707
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: That's why I love to watch somebody open that card.

708
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: The smaller confetti the better. Just packet full. There's an explosion,

709
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: got a mess.

710
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 21: You just wait till I test out this answer. You

711
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 21: will be receiving a confetti card from me every day

712
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 21: for the rest of your very short life.

713
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: Well this just you're giving me a little heads up.

714
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: I will never carpet my home.

715
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 21: And you had all the swatches picked house just shag

716
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 21: carpeting from wall to wall.

717
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: My carpet chopper is going to be so disappointed to

718
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: hear this. But you know she and I were going

719
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,479
Speaker 1: to part ways at some point, so.

720
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 21: Because you'd sent her a confetti card. I bet that's

721
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 21: why you were gonna park way.

722
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: You've absolutely lost the game, and it's a horrible way

723
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: to end twenty twenty one. The listener's heart goes out

724
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 1: to you. My heart goes out to you. But happy holidays.

725
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 21: I can't wait to see you sing a different tune

726
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 21: when you receive a special package from me.

727
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: Well, the party continues. I'm having the time of my life.

728
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,959
Speaker 1: We're all in a real holiday mood, and we're going

729
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: to walk over to our dear friend, Caroline Goldfarb. Caroline,

730
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: how are the holidays treating you?

731
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 10: My Hanukah was festive?

732
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 23: Thanks for asking, fantastic and I'm so excited to see

733
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 23: you in this wonderful holiday season.

734
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: Now, are you ready to play gift or a curse?

735
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 10: So ready?

736
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 1: Gift or a curse? Cottage cheese?

737
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 16: Oh?

738
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 1: And I should say that's from a listener. A listener

739
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: named Sarah Jane suggested that.

740
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 10: Cottage cheese. It's so funny you ask me this because

741
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 10: it just so happens.

742
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 23: I'm going through kind of a cottage cheese phase right now.

743
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 10: So I'm going to say, beyond a shadow of a doubt,

744
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 10: it's a gift. Am I allowed to say why?

745
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: I will? I hope you'll say why. You can't just

746
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: leave the party with that of a it's a gift

747
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: and then you leave, I mean the door slams.

748
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 23: It would be like the ultimate party foul, just screaming

749
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 23: cottage cheese is a gift and walking out that it's.

750
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 1: Actually a fantastic exit.

751
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 10: We call that. Some people do an Irish goodbye. I

752
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 10: do the cottage goodbye.

753
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 23: And it was just screaming about cottage cheese and leaving

754
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 23: the party.

755
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: And then she died on her way home.

756
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 10: She choked on cottage cheese.

757
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 23: Loose cottage cheese that she carries.

758
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 10: In her pockets. So weird. Anyway, she was kind of cool,

759
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 10: I guess, so cottage cheese to me.

760
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 23: Of course, we all know it's kind of the ugly

761
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 23: stepsister of the dairy community.

762
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 10: You know, milk gets milk gets its dew. Yogurt of course,

763
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 10: gets its flowers. Sour cream has a spot in the

764
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 10: dairy pantheon.

765
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 23: But cottage cheese is I think it's under raided. Uh,

766
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 23: And it doesn't. It doesn't get its praise. Let me

767
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 23: sing its praises for a moment. Cottage cheese, pound for pound,

768
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 23: probably the best.

769
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 10: Source of dairy based protein for my money, the protein.

770
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 10: Look at the macros on cottage cheese. Next time you're

771
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 10: at the grocery store, do me a favor. Read down

772
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 10: that list.

773
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 23: Tell me you don't see a shocking amount of protein,

774
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 23: and you can.

775
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 10: Really it's a great base for me. You can throw

776
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 10: some you know, in the same.

777
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 23: Way yogurt can be your parfe based. Try it with

778
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 23: cottage cheese next time. Put some jam on it, put

779
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 23: some nuts for crunch, you know. Don't be afraid to

780
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 23: take a walk on the cottage side. Is all I

781
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 23: have to say.

782
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 10: Cottage core.

783
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 16: Yeah, that's what I'm all about this holiday season, Caroline.

784
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: I could listen to you talk about cottage cheese for

785
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: another hour and a half. This has been only got forty.

786
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 10: Five more minutes on it. If you want me to.

787
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: You're starting up a PowerPoint. Look we can. I'm happy

788
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: to continue talking about this because I'm I'm obviously I

789
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: need to reveal right now the correct answer. Yes, it's

790
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: a gift. We love cottage cheese in this household. There

791
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: what is there not to like about it? It makes me

792
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: feel like I'm bored in the seventies. I've got my

793
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: diet cheese that I'm eating out of the fridge. It

794
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: tastes fantastic. I think that, you know, from about two

795
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: thousand and one till three years ago, no one was

796
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: eating cottage cheese. I think it's making its way back

797
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: into our refrigerators. We're realizing it's a snack for literally

798
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: any time of the day. You can have it in

799
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: the morning, you can have it at midnight. You can

800
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: also I may have covered this subject on this podcast before,

801
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: but whatever happened to the midnight snack? I feel like

802
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: the midnight snack was a plot device in every nineties

803
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: commercial and then it vanished from memory. We've got to

804
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: bring back the midnight snack. Cottage cheese.

805
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 23: The midnight snack I think got replaced by the ambient snack,

806
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 23: and it's time to bring back the midnight snack. And

807
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 23: I do want to speak to your point, Bridger. Cottage

808
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 23: cheese is cyclical.

809
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 10: It's really you know, trends may come and go, but

810
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 10: cottage cheese is forever. You know.

811
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 23: You might think it's out, but don't think it's out

812
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 23: until you count it back in.

813
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: You know, it's absolutely packed with protein. Look, I don't

814
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: like to put a sweet thing on it. You're bringing

815
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: up this putting jam on it. I don't know that

816
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: I can cross that line. I like it more as

817
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 1: a savory snack.

818
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 10: Did I blow your mind for a second.

819
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 23: I grew up in a freaky cottage cheese choice household where.

820
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 10: My dad would make something I'll always say it the

821
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 10: curse of all curses.

822
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 23: With cottage sheet an abominable cottage cheese snack he would combine.

823
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 10: He claims he learned this growing up in the sixties.

824
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 23: I guess so a savory cottage cheese snack, cottage cheese,

825
00:44:52,040 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 23: ketchup salsa mixed together until it's like a reddish, chunky.

826
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 10: Bits of salta world that I've been to, a tortilla.

827
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:03,919
Speaker 10: I have seen him.

828
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 24: Eat it many times.

829
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 10: Crazy.

830
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: That's not just a desperate snack for him. That's something

831
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: he was doing regularly.

832
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 9: He craves it.

833
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 10: It's one of his favorites. All I'm saying is it's versatile.

834
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 10: Don't be afraid to add your own spin to it.

835
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 10: Bridger likes it plain. I like it a little sweet.

836
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 10: My dad likes it with all kinds of things. It's

837
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 10: chunky too.

838
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 9: We can't get that texture.

839
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 10: Come on, it's funky.

840
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: No, there's no other food that resembles it.

841
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 9: I can't think of one.

842
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: Not in the dairy category. Any other dairy thing that's

843
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: that texture has gone rotten smooth.

844
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 10: Oh right too, I'm so ober dairy being smooth. It's

845
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 10: like obvious choice.

846
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: Much Yeah, cottage cheese really pushes it out there. Sometimes

847
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: yogurt will get into a weird textural thing, and we

848
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: don't want that to have a texture. We want a

849
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: smoother yogurt. Cottage cheese just kind of owns it. It

850
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: makes me feel like I should get on my exercit.

851
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 3: You know.

852
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 9: It's like I'm lumpy.

853
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 10: Get used to it. That's cottage Cheese's motto.

854
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you've I've had a feeling. I saw

855
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: cottage cheese there. I thought Caroline is going to have

856
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 1: the exact answer that everyone needs to hear here. And

857
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: hopefully this is just the beginning of cottage cheese just

858
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: becoming kind of a permanent thing in everyone's life. We

859
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: don't need it to fall out of fashion again.

860
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 23: No, don't let cottage cheese go the way of bell

861
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 23: bottoms in the dinosaurs.

862
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 10: Open your arms this holiday's season. Let it into your fridge, Fridger.

863
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 10: I'm so happy you asked me.

864
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 23: And it really speaks to what the Hanukkah and holiday

865
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 23: season is all about for me.

866
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 10: And that's bringing your a game to your friend's podcasts.

867
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 10: And I think I did just that.

868
00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: Okay, here comes the next person that's willing to gift

869
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 1: or a curse? Do or Die? It's Lizzie Cooperman. Lizzie,

00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: You're glowing, You're looking out on the ocean.

873
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 25: I am coming to you live from La Joya behind me.

874
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 25: Some gorgeous grainy beach photography. Could use a Paris filter.

875
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: Lizzie, We're gonna play do or die, gift or a curse?

876
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: Are you prepared?

877
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 25: I mean as ready as I'll ever be.

878
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh, this is from a listener. Someone named Landon

879
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: has suggested gift or a curse passion fruit.

880
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 25: Okay, I'm going to say as a flavor, curse passion fruit.

881
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 25: You're neither here nor there. As I say this, I

882
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 25: realize I literally just voiced passion fruit in a nice

883
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 25: tea commercial. Ah, so crazy, And I'm going at a curse.

884
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 25: I was passion fruit. So this is actually a self

885
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 25: hating decision I'm making.

886
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: This is wild.

887
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 25: I can't believe said this. What I'm thinking about is

888
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 25: in Lacroix. Whenever I get passion fruit, I feel like

889
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 25: I'm drinking gum.

890
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: Right, Although I would say with almost all Lacroix. I

891
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: feel like I'm drinking like someone left a piece of

892
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 1: gum at the bottom of a can. Do you really Yeah?

893
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: I find it fine. It's not an offensive drink, but

894
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: the flavor is barely there.

895
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 23: Hmm.

896
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: So Lizzie you feel so Your answer, though, is curse.

897
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 25: Yes, pat iced tea aside passion fruit.

898
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: Curse, Lizzie, incredible, it's I think passion fruit is a curse.

899
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. Every third item that is

900
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,959
Speaker 1: baked on The Great British Bakeoff is a passion fruit flat.

901
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: I've heard something. Why is this happening? Why is passion

902
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: fruit always the go to fruit for desserts? The British

903
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: have got They've They're hooked, and I we've got to

904
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: It feels like such an easy choice at this point

905
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: on the bake Off. No one really knows what passion

906
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: fruit tastes like. I can't. Well, yeah, I'll say that

907
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: no one knows, and so I don't want to know.

908
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't want you know, a cake with a passion

909
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: fruit curd or a pie with a passion fruit slime.

910
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 25: I've never heard you say the word curd before, and

911
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 25: my ears are just adjusted.

912
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 6: And my soul.

913
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever said curd aloud. This

914
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: may be a historical moment.

915
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 25: It felt like a first. The passion fruit is just

916
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 25: in my life. I feel like it's a cover up

917
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 25: for a flavor. They couldn't decide what to call it.

918
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 25: They were just like, I don't know, what do you

919
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 25: think this tastes like? Passing it around the room. They're like,

920
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 25: tastes like spoil Kiwi.

921
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 1: Maybe boiled or spoiled?

922
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 25: Oh, spoiled?

923
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: Spoiled? And is it like a slimy texture?

924
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 25: I actually would not be able to pick one out

925
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 25: of a crowd.

926
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 6: Wow.

927
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I would not be able.

928
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 25: To nail a passion fruit down if I saw one

929
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 25: running free in the forest.

930
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: Lizzie did a fantastic job. And I'm so happy to

931
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: have you here for the holidays, and I hope you

932
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 1: have a wonderful season.

933
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 25: Thank you for having me.

934
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: Now we're going to be playing gift Master with a

935
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: guest that I adore. It's Jenny Yang. Jenny. I'm going

936
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 1: to name three potential gifts things you can give away, yeah,

937
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: and three celebrities. You're gonna tell me which gift you'll give,

938
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: which celebrity, and why the three gifts you're going to

939
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 1: be giving are going to be an uneventful road trip.

940
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: So just a road trip where almost nothing happens.

941
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 26: Yep.

942
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: A job at Not Scary Farm. So this is the

943
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: Halloween version of Not Sperry Farm. So it's kind of

944
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: a temporary position and they're probably going to be kind

945
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: of spooking people.

946
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 26: That's right.

947
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: It's a theme park. Yeah, it's a theme park that's

948
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: also a haunted house. I've never been. I wouldn't mind

949
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: trying it. And number three is a pizza stone. Are

950
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: you familiar with a pizza stone?

951
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 26: I'm very familiar with the pizza.

952
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: Giant rock you put in your oven and heat up

953
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 1: and then throw pizza on. Yeah, flat slab right right.

954
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: And you'll be giving them to the following celebrities. Let's

955
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: see here, how about you'll be giving them to Machine

956
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: Gun Kelly Okay, MGK, Nancy Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi, and R.

957
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: L Stein.

958
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 26: R el Stein. I would imagine that R. L Stein

959
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 26: would excel as a staff member of Not Scary Farm.

960
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think that's an incredible connection right there.

961
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: He could almost be like the designer. He could be

962
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: the designer. I feel like there's a collab waiting to happen.

963
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 1: Somebody's dropped a live immersive horror experience curated and designed

964
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: by R. L.

965
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 26: Stein.

966
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: I believe you're master of Horror.

967
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 26: Yeah, so I believe that he would be an excellent

968
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 26: staff member for that experience. I would say between Nancy

969
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 26: Pelosi and Machine Gun Kelly, which I truly still don't

970
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 26: understand why we're talking about machine Gun Kelly so much.

971
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 16: I don't.

972
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 26: I think I even try to look him up on Wikipedia,

973
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 26: and I still I'm confused about why we're talking about him,

974
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 26: other than the fact that he's dating publicly trying to

975
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 26: be very sexy with, you know, a hot lady. Wait,

976
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 26: who is it again that he's dating or Megan Fox?

977
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: Megan Fox?

978
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 26: Okay, right, it's just you know, they like to lick

979
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 26: tongues for the photos. It's you know, it's a whole thing.

980
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 26: But I don't know what he does. So machine Gun

981
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 26: Kelly and Nancy Pelosi uneventful road trip or piece of stone, Okay,

982
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 26: I would like to see machine Gun Kelly sent off

983
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,240
Speaker 26: to nowhere. So I think I would send him on

984
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 26: a sort of uneventful trip. I truly do believe he

985
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 26: needs to take a break from the limelight right now.

986
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, just if we could just like waste it. It's

987
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: just like give him a task that doesn't nobody gets

988
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: to pay any attention to.

989
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 26: Yeah, just a mundane trip somewhere to Santa Clarita.

990
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: Right, put him in a subaru and send him cross country. Yeah,

991
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: nothing happens, right, we don't hear about it. Yeah, he's

992
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: just eating truck stop food.

993
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 26: It's great.

994
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: I bet he's already eating trucks stop food. That's the

995
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: one thing I know about machine gun Kelly is his diety.

996
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 26: He looks like he looks like he does right, right,

997
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 26: and that's his vibe.

998
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: Most of the food he eats comes from like under

999
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:37,720
Speaker 1: a heat lamp in a gas station.

1000
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,240
Speaker 26: I mean, I know too much, but Megan Fox cooks

1001
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 26: vegetarian food and vegan food for the both of them.

1002
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 9: Oh, he'll eat healthier.

1003
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: I stand corrected.

1004
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 26: Machine? But is that does he go by machine? Does

1005
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 26: machine a machine gun? Or is it machine middle named gun?

1006
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 26: Last name Kelly? Is it machine first named gun Kelly Mashie.

1007
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1008
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: It's hard to say.

1009
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 26: I don't know. So I would send him off to

1010
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 26: a boring road trip because we don't need him in

1011
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 26: the spotlight anymore. Really, And then I feel like Nancy Pelosi,

1012
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 26: I would love it for her to enjoy just a nice,

1013
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 26: crusty pizza at her leisure because she probably lives a

1014
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 26: very stressful life.

1015
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, she probably does leave and maybe it's time to

1016
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: warm up. Just a stone in the oven, yeah, throw

1017
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: some dough in the air. So you see her tossing

1018
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: pizza dough.

1019
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 26: Yeah, some yeasty dough.

1020
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just like an old Italian chef. Yeah, and

1021
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: you see Italian.

1022
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 26: I mean yeah, Pelosi probably Italian. So it all kind

1023
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 26: of you know what. This is not a racial profiling decision,

1024
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,280
Speaker 26: but it is truly because I feel like she probably

1025
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 26: avoids carbs because she likes to live a healthy life

1026
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 26: as this sort of high powered politician who's always on

1027
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 26: the go. But I do feel like with the level

1028
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 26: of stress she's under, she deserves.

1029
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: Carbs absolutely, and I can see her this could be

1030
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: a late in life pivot to Pelosi's Pizzas.

1031
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 6: To happen.

1032
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 26: I would totally eat it at Pelosi's pizzas.

1033
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: Nancy, You've got it waiting for you, I mean, given

1034
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: you we've given Nancy a gift here. I mean, she's

1035
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: probably got plenty of money already, but why not make

1036
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:19,479
Speaker 1: some more off of the pizza excellently played? What thank

1037
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 1: you excellently?

1038
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 6: I live for that.

1039
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 26: I live for verbal affirmation, affirmation giving.

1040
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: Disappointed at all.

1041
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 26: Gift giving is not one of my top skills in

1042
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 26: terms of just now.

1043
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, maybe you just need to be giving

1044
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: more gifts to celebrities. Okay, maybe, okay, Well, the party

1045
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: rages on. I'm you know, I'm feeling great, and you're

1046
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: feeling great. We're just all having a blast. And now

1047
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to Jen Spyra Jen holidays.

1048
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 9: Thank you so much, sir. Happy holidays to you.

1049
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: How have your holidays? Ben?

1050
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 10: Thank you for asking.

1051
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 27: You know, my I celebrated the final line of Honikah.

1052
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 27: I celebrated it very very modestly. Well, I you know,

1053
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 27: I only because I was sort of traveling. I only

1054
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 27: got back in the apartment for the last night and

1055
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 27: that's where the menora was, so I lit it. But unfortunately,

1056
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 27: and it's a good thing that my husband literally just

1057
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 27: stepped out the door. We quickly quarreled about the way

1058
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 27: that I set up the manora and that I was

1059
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 27: going to get wax all over the credenza and he

1060
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 27: was going to have to fucking clean up. So that

1061
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 27: actually it ended up with me very quickly blowing out

1062
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 27: all the candles, and it was very sad.

1063
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 9: And then like later, secretly I realized.

1064
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 10: So actually it was a very It was very.

1065
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 9: Sad, very sad.

1066
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: On I got this hidden honka. You celebrated exactly well, Jen,

1067
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: I think we should play gift or a curse, do

1068
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: or die? Uh, You've got one chance, Jen, Spira, Gift

1069
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: or a curse? Salsa bars.

1070
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 27: Okay, I'm immediately saying curse, and I don't even know

1071
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 27: what we're talking about, because are you talking about a

1072
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 27: place you go to salsa dance?

1073
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: I am talking about in a Mexican restaurant, essentially a

1074
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: small buffet featuring a variety of salsas which you self serve,

1075
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: pouring into traditionally a little plastic cup, taking back to

1076
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: your table to dump all over your food.

1077
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 27: All right, listen, I am very boldly going to say

1078
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 27: what I know will be the wrong answer, because I

1079
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 27: know what you must think. I'm going to say the

1080
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 27: gift printer, because I am all about because I am

1081
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 27: all about the buffet life anytime it has offered more

1082
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 27: choices at my fingertips where I don't have to have

1083
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 27: an interaction with someone where I need to explain why

1084
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 27: I want something, so like the sovereignty, the autonomy, and

1085
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 27: the variety, even though actually when I when you first

1086
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 27: described it, I'm like, I hate that idea. It's gross.

1087
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 27: It actually kind of grosses me out. I don't even

1088
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 27: want to be in a place where there is a

1089
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 27: salsa bar. I don't like any of it. But ultimately

1090
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 27: I have to come down on yes to choice and

1091
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 27: yes to freedom because I am a daughter of George

1092
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 27: Washington and I love freedom. So fuck you Britsar because

1093
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 27: I know you think it's I know you think it's

1094
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 27: a GURTs or am I wrong?

1095
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: Jenra oh a chill, A chill is in the air?

1096
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: Salsa bars. Look, you've mounted an excellent defense and now

1097
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: I think what you're about to hear is going to

1098
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: be very surprising, and it's going to be something you

1099
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 1: remember for a long time, and it'll probably be something

1100
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: that kind of is the subtext of every one of

1101
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: our interactions moving forward. Salsa bars are a curse because

1102
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: I adore, adore a salsa bar. I love to choose

1103
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: my salsas. I love to have the control over how

1104
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: much of the red sauce, of the salsaverde, of the

1105
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: pico di gaiyo, of the pickled carrots and jalapinios that

1106
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: I get. That said, I don't know that they exist anymore.

1107
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: I think, because of the pandemic, we may never I

1108
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: think they may be extinct and therefore a curse, a

1109
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: curse that will haunt me for the rest of my life.

1110
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 9: Preacher.

1111
00:59:54,960 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 27: I found this topic psychotic because, like, what you're saying.

1112
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 9: Is a Chipotle? Like I've seen Chipotle.

1113
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 27: What fucking restaurant do you go to where that has

1114
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 27: a salsa bar in it?

1115
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 10: Like?

1116
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 9: Is this just an la thing? Are you about Ponderosa?

1117
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 9: Like seriously, I don't know what you're.

1118
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 25: Talking about, and I like, what are you talking about?

1119
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: I guess we should, we should say Jenna's in New York,

1120
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: where Mexican food is good. Mexican food is hard to

1121
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: come by.

1122
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 9: I guess you're right, because you're.

1123
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: You're also you're you're you're just playing a huge ignorance here.

1124
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 1: What are you saying that's a Chipotle? Chipotle. The employee

1125
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: is deciding how.

1126
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 10: Much exactly exactly, no, no, and.

1127
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 27: Okay, listen, it's not a salsa bar. Well, Bridge, So

1128
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 27: I wasn't a Chipotle today. My husband eats there every

1129
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 27: single days. How he stays alive, He goes and gets.

1130
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: For every single friend day.

1131
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 9: That's amazing. I love that you gets that every day.

1132
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 19: That's great, it is.

1133
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 27: But Bridge are like, listen, you're talking to a girl

1134
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 27: that loves a Golden Corral, that loves a ponderosa. You're

1135
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 27: talking to someone who fucking I like those very very

1136
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 27: low bar for entry buffet, family style buffet for let's say,

1137
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 27: a certain class of people.

1138
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 9: Okay, I like that that.

1139
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 27: Bridge are like, I actually have never been in a

1140
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 27: Mexican restaurant that has a salca bar.

1141
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 1: You're talking about this is shocking a.

1142
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 27: Casual and listen in in La like you are you

1143
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 27: talking about.

1144
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: Bridger and no long about Terry's Mexican Grill in Studio City.

1145
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: They had a beautiful salsa bar which I can't access.

1146
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: I have to ask the employees for extra salsa over

1147
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: and over, making me a nuisance. I now have this.

1148
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: It's like my wife is dead and I'm just thinking

1149
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: about her all the time exactly.

1150
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 27: So really you're you said, dude, it's a curse, but

1151
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 27: really it's such a gift that it's just like that.

1152
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 27: It's it's yeah, it's absence is a curse.

1153
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: It's absence is a curse. I returned to its grave

1154
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: and just cry and talk to it.

1155
01:01:58,720 --> 01:01:59,479
Speaker 9: Oh my god.

1156
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 27: Well, thank you for teaching me about Salsabars and about

1157
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 27: you and I I'm ashamed.

1158
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 9: I hope I didn't.

1159
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,479
Speaker 27: I hope I didn't, like, you know, get canceled because

1160
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 27: I seem so like insensitive, but I didn't know about

1161
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 27: this type of restaurant.

1162
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: Well, you're only canceled in my heart.

1163
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 9: Thank you.

1164
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 27: And also, I'm not even trying to belittle or make

1165
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 27: fun of the idea of cancel culture. I don't know

1166
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 27: why I keep saying words and talking, but I'm not

1167
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 27: trying to even say that cancel culture is silly.

1168
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 9: I'm actually not saying that.

1169
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: You you're stumbling through my party, just saying nonsense. It's embarrassing.

1170
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: Other guests are uncomfortable. I'm saying I had to invite her.

1171
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: I didn't have any choice.

1172
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 6: We go back.

1173
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: I know I'm trying to push her out of my life,

1174
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: and now she's here ranting about Salsabars I clearly can't

1175
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 1: even picture in her own mind.

1176
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 9: I know, I'm so I'm so simple.

1177
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: Well, Jen, I hate, I hate the fact that you

1178
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: have embarrassed yourself, but I do love that you've learned.

1179
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 9: Thank you. I have learned.

1180
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 10: I have learned a lot.

1181
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: All learning should take place through embarrassment. That's kind of

1182
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: my policy.

1183
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 9: I completely agree. It really does teach a lesson.

1184
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 27: That feeling, that feeling inside, the heat that rises it

1185
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 27: imparts a lesson.

1186
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Well, I hope you can take that lesson with you

1187
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: into the new year and just a big happy holidays

1188
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: in general. I just love you.

1189
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 9: I agree.

1190
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you were here.

1191
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 9: Thank you so much for having me.

1192
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 27: And I am sorry that I embarrassed you.

1193
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: That you embarrassed me. No, no, no, no, I lead

1194
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: too pure of a life to feel others embarrassment. Indeed, indeed,

1195
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: well the festivities can take you. We're having a fantastic

1196
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: time and things could not go wrong if we tried,

1197
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: especially now because we've got John Milstein. John, are you

1198
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: ready for do or die? Gift or a curse?

1199
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 14: As ready as I'll ever be I'm excited to be

1200
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 14: your celebrating Christmas as one of my favorite I hope

1201
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 14: this is okay, say little elves.

1202
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: John, I need you to be serious here, Okay, Sorry,

1203
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: there's no room for error.

1204
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 14: Okay, got it.

1205
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna name one thing. You're gonna tell me if

1206
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: it's a gift or a curse and why, and then

1207
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna find out how the rest of your year

1208
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: is going to play out.

1209
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 14: Okay, based on whether I succeed or.

1210
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 1: Not exactly Wow, Okay, gift or a curse. Houses decorated

1211
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: with lights that flash and sync with a song.

1212
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 14: So this is a product that is sold and it

1213
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 14: just is able to take in the sound of a

1214
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 14: song that's playing and make the lights flash with the song.

1215
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: John, I don't know the science behind these houses.

1216
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 14: You're an audio engineer or a lighting engineer.

1217
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 1: Basically, what happens is somebody goes into the garage and

1218
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 1: gathers up whatever lights they have, they get on the roof,

1219
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: they decorate the house for their holiday of choosing. Then

1220
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: somehow it gets connected to some sort of audio device

1221
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 1: and then suddenly the lights are flashing the music's playing.

1222
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: It's kind of a little ballet that they've constructed on

1223
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: their house. Actually, Analyse is sending me a YouTube, but

1224
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: let me look at this really quick Christmas lights. It

1225
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: is Oh my god.

1226
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 14: This is far more involved than I ever could have imagined.

1227
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 1: This is way beyond what I thought it was.

1228
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 14: Wow, this is It looks like this is someone's entire

1229
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 14: year salary went into their homes for these. Okay, so

1230
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 14: after watching the video, I now even have a better

1231
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 14: sense of how extra this this sort of display is.

1232
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 14: This is the ultimate goal is definitely to get on Ellen,

1233
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 14: and pretty much everybody who buys this kit thinks that

1234
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 14: they'll be able to get on Ellen. Although these look

1235
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 14: like they're custom, I mean, it looks like in order

1236
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 14: to get this you have to like really talk to

1237
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 14: a lighting manufacturer.

1238
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: You have got to go to a at least a

1239
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: tech school to learn how to put together one of

1240
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: these displays.

1241
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 14: This is George Lucas made Star Wars, and then some

1242
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 14: of the people who helped make Star Wars years and

1243
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 14: years from then have veil out this sort of technology

1244
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 14: to exist. But it all began on Star Wars.

1245
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: So what do you think, gift or a curse?

1246
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 14: It's a clear gift to me. I mean, I don't

1247
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 14: see anything negative about driving by one of these houses.

1248
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 14: You know, you don't have to you probably it's a

1249
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 14: thing where you see it once or twice. It's not

1250
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 14: very likely that this house would be next years and

1251
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 14: you'd always have to be watching the full ballet light

1252
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 14: ballet happening beginning to add which seems to be like

1253
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 14: an hour long playlist. So yeah, I'm going to enjoy

1254
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 14: any type of Christmas lights that I see on a house.

1255
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 14: And if they're going this extra mile to make it

1256
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 14: sonic like I like it even more so it's a gift.

1257
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 4: John.

1258
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: I love to hear this from you. I absolutely think

1259
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: they're a gift for so many reasons. Look, I'll take

1260
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: a flashing light just like a broken light at a

1261
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: seven eleven flashing I'm thrilled to see it. It brings

1262
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: a party atmosphere. IE's like a horsefly in that sense.

1263
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 14: You're like a moth.

1264
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: And I love to be driving down the street and

1265
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: a street lamp is kind of just going off and

1266
01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: and then you bring in the Christmas element to the

1267
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: holiday element. It's creating a traffic jam in neighborhoods that

1268
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: I find very funny. You know that some neighbor is

1269
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 1: furious about it. It's an active aggression. No matter what

1270
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: you do.

1271
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 14: It creates a sort of entrenches hierarchies in neighborhoods. Who

1272
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 14: is sort of the king of that own Yeah? Yeah,

1273
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 14: so that's good.

1274
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 1: And any, as you said, any naked attempt to end

1275
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: up on Ellen or the Kelly Clarkson show, we support,

1276
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 1: We're behind it.

1277
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 10: No.

1278
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 14: I feel like a lot of the attempts to get

1279
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 14: on Ellen Kelly Clarkson involve making a child do something

1280
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,639
Speaker 14: that maybe they don't want to do, a child being

1281
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,520
Speaker 14: used as some sort of prop So this is a

1282
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 14: child children are not taking advantage of to make this.

1283
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 1: Ellen, right. I assume there's probably a decent amount of

1284
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: child labor. Dad is out the lights and the kids

1285
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: have to spend six saturdays in a row putting up

1286
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 1: the lights. But at least they're not on camera. Right, John,

1287
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 1: you did a fantastic job. I mean, you nailed it.

1288
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 14: Oh my gosh, one shot like this is This is

1289
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 14: probably the most higher pressure environment I'll ever be in.

1290
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 1: Oh I've seen several people just absolutely break down in tears.

1291
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: We're not even gonna be able to release that audio

1292
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: careers could have been ruined. Wow, do you have any

1293
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: holiday wishes you'd like to you know, send to loved

1294
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: ones listeners.

1295
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 14: You know, I say, get out there and travel. You

1296
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 14: know we've been, we've been under lockdown. You have your vaccine,

1297
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 14: maybe you have your booster. It's time to start living

1298
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:51,799
Speaker 14: our lives again. Like I'm going as close to anti vaxx,

1299
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 14: and it's close to it. No, but seriously, I don't know. Yeah,

1300
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 14: enjoy Christmas like, enjoy it, enjoy I'm so glad that

1301
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 14: we get to be with our families and travel and

1302
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 14: stuff like that.

1303
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: Again, that's a real sweet message, John, and I appreciate that.

1304
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like you've kind of, after not

1305
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: losing the game, you've got a new lease on life.

1306
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was.

1307
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 14: I was prepared to, yeah, be one of those people

1308
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 14: in tears with audio that has to be burned. But yeah,

1309
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 14: although you know, I feel like I feel like I'm

1310
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 14: good at this game. Like I feel like if you

1311
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 14: were to throw me three more, I get them, all right.

1312
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:28,280

Speaker 9: Hello, I'm so excited.

1329
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 2: Last time we spent I don't know, two hours together,

1330
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 2: let's go for four four hours.

1331
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: Well, too bad, Culop. This is do or die. I

1332
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: feel like you're already trying to get ahead of the game.

1333
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: Last time you got two out of three and we

1334
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,560
Speaker 1: ended up with we really came to blows over badgers.

1335
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 1: This is do or die gift or a curse. So

1336
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: you've got one chance to end the year on a

1337
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 1: good note.

1338
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 2: Okay, and this one thing we can talk about for

1339
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 2: a long time.

1340
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Gift or a curse? Appetizers

1341
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 1: with an odd number of food items. You know, you're

1342
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 1: getting like your five month to realistics.

1343
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 2: That's a curse because if you're not alone and you're

1344
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 2: with one other person, like I want things to be fair,

1345
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:16,679
Speaker 2: you know, like equal pay.

1346
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:19,520
Speaker 1: Equal pay and appetizers.

1347
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 8: And hot apps.

1348
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 9: Isn't that why we marched.

1349
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 1: Cool up? You're wrong of appetizers on a plate is

1350
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 1: absolutely a gift. When that plate of five chicken wings

1351
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,759
Speaker 1: gets placed in front of you, there's an immediate tension.

1352
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: It brings a nice natural drama to the table. Suddenly

1353
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 1: everyone's wondering what's going to happen unless there are five people,

1354
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 1: But then everyone's getting the smallest portion, the beautiful just

1355
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: thrill of thinking how are we going to split this?

1356
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 1: Or who is going to be the greedy little who

1357
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 1: takes the final one. They're absolutely a gift. It's a

1358
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 1: free gift from the restaurant. They're saying, here's a little

1359
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 1: spark for your evening pressure.

1360
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 2: Not all of us live your sort of knives out

1361
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 2: mentality where all quadrants of your life need to be

1362
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 2: filled with this drama and intrigue and Chris Evans in

1363
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 2: a gorgeous cable knit like that's not for everybody.

1364
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: Bridger, Well, it's because I think a lot of people

1365
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 1: haven't tried. Once they do, once they get this high

1366
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 1: octane lifestyle that I'm kind of just always soaking in,

1367
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 1: They're going to realize what was I doing with the

1368
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 1: last few decades. I've wasted so much of my life?

1369
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: True love, I'm so sorry to hear that you're ending

1370
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: the year not only losing the game, but then desn'tally

1371
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: just cling clying to succeed, trying to convince me of

1372
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: anything but the truth. You know this does not bode

1373
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: well for twenty twenty two.

1374
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 9: For you, just for me. Can I pull you down

1375
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 9: as well?

1376
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 1: Nobody pulls me down, but I hold on to an

1377
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: ankle and you can kick.

1378
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 2: As much as I know you love to live at

1379
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 2: such a heightened, tension filled existence, I actually don't want

1380
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 2: you to be harmed.

1381
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Happy holidays, really happy holidays, God bless

1382

1388
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 1: I didn't do that. Yes, I think about four people

1389
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: have now won. But considering that we've done eighty something episodes,

1390
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: you're in rare company with three people I can't remember.

1391
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 24: Perfect and that's exactly how it should be. Me and

1392
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 24: three nobody's.

1393
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 1: Absolutely faceless people. Well, so you know this is very

1394
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 1: high stakes for you, So I just want you to

1395
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: be more careful than ever. Kind of just look into

1396
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,560
Speaker 1: whatever strength you used before.

1397
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 6: Et cetera.

1398
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 24: Yep, yep, yep, you're right. I have a title to

Speaker 24: defend you haven't. Yes, I'm gonna get right. I'm gonna

1400
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 24: get I'm gonna connect to a higher power right now

1401
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 24: to truly make sure that the spirit moves me in

1402
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 24: the right direction exactly.

1403
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 1: And let's let's just get into it. Gift or a curse.

1404
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:59,520
Speaker 1: Saying my pleasure instead of your welcome.

1405
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 24: Hmmm hmmm, saying my pleasure instead of you're welcome. Honestly,

1406
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 24: I think that's a gift. I think that's a gift.

1407
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 24: There's something about saying my pleasure that's like, oh, so

1408
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 24: you enjoyed it too, you.

1409
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:16,559
Speaker 1: Know what I mean.

1410
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 6: Now it's like, okay, cool.

1411
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 24: So now I don't feel like I just took I

1412
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 24: feel like I brought something to the table for you,

1413
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:25,600
Speaker 24: which you know could be a lie you're telling me.

1414
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 1: But thank you for telling me that lie, Naomi. The

1415
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:35,680
Speaker 1: streak continues, Yes, it's a gift, and I'll say, you know,

1416
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 1: what you're saying here is kind of speaks to the

1417
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:40,960
Speaker 1: reason I think it's a gift. I think there's something

1418
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 1: a little perverse about saying my pleasure, saying that you've

1419
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,559
Speaker 1: got a little happiness out out of whatever you did

1420
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 1: for someone. There's something slightly sick, something that when someone

1421
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 1: says that they're revealing something that they got something more

1422
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 1: out of it than just doing a favor.

1423
01:16:58,240 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was.

1424
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't just I'm doing this for you. It was

1425
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: a little I'm doing this for me. And well it's sexy,

1426
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: isn't it. It's a little sexy.

1427
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 6: It's a little sexy.

1428
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,679
Speaker 1: We all need a little bit of sexiness, a little

1429
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,679
Speaker 1: bit of just throwing us off balance when we thank someone.

1430
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 1: If you know, if my person that Chipotle says my pleasure,

1431
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh no, the dynamic between me and this

1432
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,480
Speaker 1: cashier is psychosexual.

1433
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:29,599
Speaker 6: Oh my god.

1434
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 24: You know how I feel about psychosexual games, and they're

1435
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 24: one of my favorites. I believe that people are constantly

1436
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 24: playing a psychosexual game in some form or another. And

1437
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 24: because I'm sex negative, I usually don't come out on top.

1438
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 1: But I love them, and so I very much, yes,

1439
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: agree with you. I have a psychosexual game. Number two

1440
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,680
Speaker 1: for me is a game of cat and mouse. If

1441
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:51,600
Speaker 1: I can get into one of those games with the

1442
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:57,920
Speaker 1: retail employee, my trip to the mall is perfect. Naomi,

1443
01:17:57,960 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. You just keep winning this game.

1444
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 1: At some point I'm going to throw a something in

1445
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 1: the road.

1446
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 9: To trib you.

1447
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 24: I don't think you will. You want to know why,

1448
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 24: because I think that we are soul sisters. We share

1449
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 24: a mind and I think what you think. So there's

1450
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 24: no way, there's no way you can trip me up.

1451
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: It is a game of cat and mouse, it is true,

1452
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 1: or a game of cat and cat. But you know,

1453
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: whatever you've done it, You've ended the year on a

1454
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 1: perfect note. Thank you so much.

1455
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,799
Speaker 24: Happy holidays, Happy holidays. I hope you watch my Netflix

1456
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 24: half hour.

1457
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 1: Watch her half hour four times. It's coming out December

1458
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 1: twenty ninth. Thank you very much.

1459
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 6: That is accurate.

1460
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:41,640
Speaker 24: You should watch it four times, or just turn it

1461
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 24: on and just give it a thumbs up. You can

1462
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 24: leave the room like I really don't care if you

1463
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 24: engage with the content, but I would like you to

1464
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:48,640
Speaker 24: watch it.

1465
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:49,719
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

1466
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: I didn't know you could give thumbs up on Netflix.

1467
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 24: Yeah, you can rate it and you give a thumbs

1468
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 24: up or a thumbs down. And it's funny because I

1469
01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 24: went into everyone's Netflix queue that I had access to,

1470
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 24: and I gave a Chappelle special thumbs down just because

1471
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 24: I was like, Mom, you're giving a thumbs down. Mom's husband,

1472
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 24: you're giving a thumbs down. And but for mine, I.

1473
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: Want you to give it a thumbs up. Oh, everyone,

1474
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 1: go give her special Netflix a thumbs up and then

1475
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: go to bed and have dreams of whatever holiday dreams

1476
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 1: that you want. Sugar plum fairies, is that what you

1477
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 1: dream of during the holidays?

1478
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:29,839
Speaker 24: I mean that's what I hear, you know, I dream

1479
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 24: I'm dreaming of a white Kwansa. Okay, the ones I

1480
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 24: never knew.

1481
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't believe it. Here we are the final round.

1482
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 1: The holidays are still here. We're deep, deep into the episode,

1483
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 1: and our next guests are going to go head to

1484
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:57,799
Speaker 1: head in a new version of Gift or a Curse

1485
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:00,640
Speaker 1: and uh, it's going to be in It's going to

1486
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: be cutthroat and the results could be devastating. It's Karen

1487
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: Kilgareff and Georgia Heart start. Are you ready for Gift

1488
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: or a Curse?

1489
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 16: Yeah?

1490
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 9: And I'm filled with electricity.

1491
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 6: Yes.

1492
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 1: Let me explain how this is going to work. You

1493
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:21,600
Speaker 1: two Gift or a Curse. We've played it dozens and

1494
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:24,599
Speaker 1: dozens of times on the show. You know, past guests

1495
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:28,560
Speaker 1: are kind of competing with each other psychically. This is

1496
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:33,280
Speaker 1: the first in person physical competition of this game. So

1497
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 1: I'm going to name three things, and you're both going

1498
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:38,599
Speaker 1: to tell me if they're a gift or a curse.

1499
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 1: You're going to have to do that at the same time.

1500
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: This is all in fairness, So you'll tell me if

1501
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 1: they're a gift or a curse, and then I'm going

1502
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: to give you each a chance to defend your answer,

1503
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:51,920
Speaker 1: and then I'm going to tell you the correct answer.

1504
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:55,759
Speaker 1: So you know, you could both walk away total losers.

1505
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:58,439
Speaker 1: You could walk away winners. You could walk away with

1506
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 1: a point here or there. This could go in any direction,

1507
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 1: so as always be careful. Are you ready?

1508
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 22: I have to say that just being on this show

1509
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 22: makes me not a loser, sad. I can't do anything,

1510
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:15,839
Speaker 22: but when from here, that's.

1511
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 1: The one promise the show can guarantee. Okay, well, let's

1512
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 1: just get into it. Let's start with the first gift

1513
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 1: or a curse. Andy's mints?

1514
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 9: Oh ready, yes, give curse?

1515
01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 1: Okay, and why Georgia you spoke first? Let's hear your defense.

1516
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 22: I love them. They conjure memories from being a kid.

1517
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 22: There was this amazing Mexican restaurant my dad would take

1518
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 22: us to called El Carmen in Los Angeles, and like,

1519
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 22: if we were well behaved, they'd give us one, like

1520
01:21:55,200 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 22: they wouldn't even charge us the quarter or whatever. And

1521
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 22: I love them.

1522
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:05,759
Speaker 1: They're so good. I'm like offender that you don't like them? Here, Karen,

1523
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 1: we've offended Georgia and we need a defense.

1524
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 28: Yes, yes, because I have an olympiad mindset and I

1525
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 28: knew that getting her off her, getting on her back

1526
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:19,839
Speaker 28: foot and offending her for the outset.

1527
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 9: Would be the way to go.

1528
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 28: I had two great aunts who lived across town from

1529
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:29,599
Speaker 28: us growing up, Aunt Man Aunt Anne, wonderful women. They

1530
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 28: had a selection of candy at their house that was

1531
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 28: just what they liked, and the range of those that

1532
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 28: selection was applets and cottlets, which is one of the.

1533
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 9: Most disgusting candy.

1534
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 28: It barely doesn't it barely qualifies as a candy because

1535
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 28: it was jelly apple candy or apricot candy, jellies with

1536
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 28: walnut floating in it, catting sugar on top.

1537
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 9: That's the one candy that was available.

1538
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 28: The other candy was Andy's Mints, Andy's candies, and so

1539
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 28: we over ate Andy's candies to.

1540
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 9: Make up for the fact that we couldn't have the

1541
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:08,600
Speaker 9: other one. Like it was as if there was this

1542
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 9: candy array. But we would just be like, fine, eat that.

1543
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:13,759
Speaker 9: But I don't like mint.

1544
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 28: I think mint in candies tastes like you didn't rinse

1545
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:20,919
Speaker 28: your mouth of toothpaste, and now you've moved on to chocolate.

1546
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 9: I don't like the combination, never have. And so we.

1547
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 28: Would eat Andy's candies almost against our will, because we're like.

1548
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 9: Well, it's the only candy. We're going to get around here,

1549
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 9: so you might as well just eat it.

1550
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 28: I have nothing but bad memories, although I respect a

1551
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 28: restaurant that would give it to you for free, because

1552
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 28: that's what looks really saying something about what good behavior

1553
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:43,640
Speaker 28: you must have been on.

1554
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 22: But well, it's a great way to get three hyperactive kids.

1555
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:48,879
Speaker 1: To fucking shut.

1556
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:51,599
Speaker 22: The fuck up and eat their food and be quiet.

1557
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 22: The promise of an Andy's Mint at the end, which

1558
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 22: was a hard thing for my brother and sister and

1559
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 22: I to do.

1560
01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:01,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that it worked. Yeah, okay, you too well.

1561
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: Point to Georgia Karen. Andy's Mints are you don't bring

1562
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: the memories of your aunt's House of Horrors onto my podcast?

1563
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 1: Are pure sophistication. Smoothy chocolate with a light mint, an

1564
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: excellent combination. I recently learned that they're a product of

1565
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 1: the Tutsi roll Company, which, I'll be honest cheapened the

1566
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:30,240
Speaker 1: entire thing for me, but I'm not backing off. I

1567
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 1: would go to the soucassa Mexican restaurant, and they would

1568
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: have the quarter Andy's Mints. A nice little after dinner,

1569
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, if it's between an Andy's Mint and a

1570
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 1: what is that a dinner mint, a pillow mint starlight? No,

1571
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 1: thank you, get that out the tuckture.

1572
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 7: They're a gress.

1573
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: Okay, well look they're an absolute gift. Yes, that's okay.

1574
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 1: We've got one to zero. There's still two chances for

1575
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 1: Karen to redeem herself.

1576
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 28: This next question is about applets and cottlets. I'm screwed,

1577
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 28: that's for sure.

1578
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 22: I have to try thoughts and truly, four old people.

1579
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:18,560
Speaker 1: That sounds horrifying.

1580
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 28: It's like depression candy. Yeah, the period of time and

1581
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:24,719
Speaker 28: the emotional set point.

1582
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 1: Yes, your aunt's house was the last place that was

1583
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: were seeing.

1584
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 9: Those boks ever sold in nineteen seventy eight?

1585
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:36,879
Speaker 1: Yes, all right. Next up, this is a listener's suggestion.

1586
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 1: Someone named Aaron has written in gift your a curse Crocs,

1587
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: the footwear Crocs.

1588
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 9: Ooh, Karen, I say curse.

1589
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 1: I say cursed too.

1590
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,760
Speaker 22: Well, yeah, look I can argue the other side if

1591
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 22: you want me to, because I can.

1592
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: This is about making decisions and living with them. You

1593
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: both said crocs. Yeah, I mean you both said curse. Yeah, correct, yes, yes,

1594
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: I want to hear that defense curse.

1595
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 22: Okay, I'm going to say gift but I'll explain why.

1596
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Georgia, just for the record, you are in a gift.

1597
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 1: Karen is curse, Okay, Okay.

1598
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:20,520
Speaker 28: I defend my position by saying, crocs are rubber shoes.

1599
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 28: Although cushy your feet sweat. You can't make holes big

1600
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 28: enough on those shoes.

1601
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 9: You can.

1602
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,679
Speaker 28: You can dress them up with adorn them with jewels

1603
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 28: if you want to, which I guess the kids do

1604
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 28: these days. Be ironic and wear them with beautiful dresses.

1605
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 28: Do whatever you want, obviously, And it's the time that

1606
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 28: we're living in. But for me personally, that shoe is

1607
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 28: it needs a sock, which makes everything even worse. It's

1608
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 28: it's a goofy clown shoe that makes your sweaty feet

1609
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 28: even sweatier.

1610
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 9: There's no relief in the summer. It's a visual assault

1611
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,559
Speaker 9: in the winter, all right.

1612
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 1: And your I don't disagree with any of that.

1613
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:06,680
Speaker 22: And I've actually never, in my fucking life slipped a

1614
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:09,599
Speaker 22: pair of They've never touched my feet in any way,

1615
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 22: shape or form. However, never, never, during the pandemic I have,

1616
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 22: I have opened my heart and my.

1617
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 1: Feet to slides, to athletic slides.

1618
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 22: So I feel like I can't judge people who like crocs. However,

1619
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 22: I will never fucking wear them. You'll never see me

1620
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:27,719
Speaker 22: in a goddamn pair of Crocs.

1621
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're kind of saying gift simply because who

1622
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 1: am I to judge? Right right? All right, Well, let's

1623
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: just put it out there. The game is tied up.

1624
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 1: I know, and I'll tell you exactly why. This is

1625
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 1: a one pair of Crocs household and my boyfriend Jim

1626
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 1: owns it, probably size twelve or thirteen pair of crocs, wow,

1627
01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,760
Speaker 1: which I will occasionally, well daily put on to you know,

1628
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 1: tool around in the yard to go get the mail.

1629
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: This kind of thing, which almost every single day, leads

1630
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 1: to an argument of just let me buy you a

1631
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:15,559
Speaker 1: pair of Crocs, And it makes absolutely no sense. There's

1632
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 1: never a time when we both need to be wearing crocs.

1633
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 1: Why can't I just wear his crocs? If there's ever

1634
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 1: a time when we're both wearing crocs, something's gone wrong.

1635
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 9: Yeah, don't open the door.

1636
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 1: I will say this when I agree to that.

1637
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 22: Okay, these slides are comfortable now, vince Bo has like

1638
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,679
Speaker 22: buys me a new pair every two months, So don't

1639
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:36,520
Speaker 22: open the door to I refuse.

1640
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm never going I don't need a pair of

1641
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:40,920
Speaker 1: crocs that actually fits me. I can kind of just

1642
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: totter around. It's tottering a word. Do you totter in

1643
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:44,679
Speaker 1: a croc?

1644
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 10: Yes?

1645
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 19: I think so.

1646
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:49,719
Speaker 1: I think it's perfectly fair for me to wear these things,

1647
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:56,320
Speaker 1: and so they're absolutely a curse for me and therefore

1648
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 1: for everyone.

1649
01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:01,760
Speaker 9: Also, your feet when you get back for the mailbox

1650
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 9: are damp.

1651
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:08,880
Speaker 1: It's that's almost immediate. It's because it's kind of that

1652
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 1: warm rubber that your skin doesn't quite know what to

1653
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 1: do with it. Yes, it's not made for human skin, unnatural.

1654
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 28: It's what they make Subway sandwich bread out.

1655
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:22,479
Speaker 9: Of as well and meat. And then that's how you

1656
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:23,960
Speaker 9: can tell. It shouldn't be on your feet.

1657
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 1: No one should have a foot long on their feet. Okay,

1658
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:32,479
Speaker 1: well it's tied up. This is very exciting. I mean,

1659
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 1: this final one. I mean, let's just be honest. Neither

1660
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 1: of you is going away with a gold star. Both

1661
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:45,040
Speaker 1: lost one round, but we'll see what happens with this

1662
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:53,080
Speaker 1: next thing. Gift or a curse asteroids gift gift. Okay,

1663
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 1: and why.

1664
01:29:54,880 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 22: Wow, space man, it's fucking vast and crazy. Then it

1665
01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:04,720
Speaker 22: moves around, even if it's made up, and this is

1666
01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:08,200
Speaker 22: a simulation, at least they made whoever made the simulation

1667
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 22: made it pretty and wondrous, you know what I'm saying.

1668
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:16,800
Speaker 1: Right interesting defense And now, Karen.

1669
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:23,040
Speaker 28: I based my answer first on the eighties video game Asteroids,

1670
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 28: which was a visual feast.

1671
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:30,479
Speaker 9: Remember the lines, so many lines. But it also is

1672
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 9: this thing where, yes, space is this.

1673
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:37,760
Speaker 28: Kind of mysterious black cloak that surrounds our world. But

1674
01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:41,840
Speaker 28: then there is like this kind of uh, like the

1675
01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:45,880
Speaker 28: universe's villain, where at any point, if a big enough

1676
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 28: one comes by, we're done for. So it keeps us

1677
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:53,320
Speaker 28: very present, and I think the threat maybe keeps a

1678
01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 28: lot of us in our gratitude attitude. But also it's

1679
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:58,920
Speaker 28: the kind of thing where it's like, this won't go

1680
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:01,960
Speaker 28: on forever, because you know they now these days, they're

1681
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 28: constantly going, oh.

1682
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 9: Did you hear the new asteroid that's coming by? They're

1683
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 9: always swinging by.

1684
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 28: So I think it really keeps us humble, and it

1685
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:13,680
Speaker 28: keeps us, you know, everything right sized, and I really

1686
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:16,360
Speaker 28: appreciate that. I think only asteroids have the power to

1687
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 28: do something that big.

1688
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:19,559
Speaker 4: Wouldn't be the worst way to go.

1689
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 1: I will say that.

1690
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 22: Every time they're like it's coming, I'm like, all right,

1691
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 22: yeah s, wrap it up.

1692
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:29,760
Speaker 1: Okay, you've both mounted interesting defenses. And before we get

1693
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 1: into this, before I reveal the correct answer, I do

1694
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:34,640
Speaker 1: want to give a shout out. As long as we're

1695
01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:37,519
Speaker 1: talking about eighties video games, I recently played one called Streaker.

1696
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 1: Was at an arcade. I played an old game which

1697
01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:43,320
Speaker 1: is essentially pac Man. But you're a little naked man

1698
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 1: slowly moving around the screen. What so whoever created that

1699
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:50,880
Speaker 1: video game? God bless, I had a wonderful time.

1700
01:31:51,479 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 9: Never heard of that.

1701
01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 1: That's crazy, tiny naked man running around the screen trying

1702
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:05,240
Speaker 1: to get away hopefully. Yeah, all that aside, we're talking

1703
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:08,960
Speaker 1: about asteroids here. Sure you've both said gift. You both

1704
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 1: have one point. This could take you both to two

1705
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:19,919
Speaker 1: points if you're correct. Unfortunately you're both wrong. Asteroids are twist,

1706
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean, a curse on so many levels. Asteroids are

1707
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:27,919
Speaker 1: all talk and no action. We are constantly getting threatened

1708
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:30,960
Speaker 1: about asteroids smashing in the Earth. When's it gonna happen.

1709
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever gonna.

1710
01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:36,439
Speaker 22: Happen because the universe doesn't exist. That's fucking making.

1711
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 1: My point is don't tease me. Okay, don't tease me

1712
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 1: with this little threat in these narrow misses. Oh it

1713
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 1: might hit. Oh one killed all the dinosaurs. But what

1714
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 1: in the meantime, what's going on? Destroy humanity or get

1715
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:57,800
Speaker 1: off the pot sort of situations What I said asteroids are, Oh,

1716
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:02,720
Speaker 1: I could go on. We don't need them and we

1717
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:04,400
Speaker 1: would be better off without them.

1718
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 4: Destroy all asteroids.

1719
01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:10,840
Speaker 1: Destroy all asteroids. Don't even destroy I don't. We've put

1720
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:13,080
Speaker 1: too much energy into thinking about them.

1721
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:16,559
Speaker 9: They're just trying to get attention all the time.

1722
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 28: It's really they're just a really dramatic friend from like

1723
01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:21,080
Speaker 28: a theater class.

1724
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:22,759
Speaker 9: That's like I'm really having.

1725
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:24,880
Speaker 28: A terrible weekend, and it's just like, yeah, I don't

1726
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 28: care anymore.

1727
01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:27,200
Speaker 1: I can't can't do it this time.

1728
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 22: You keep threatening your weekend. Your weekend's ruined, but I'm

1729
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:32,840
Speaker 22: just done.

1730
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 1: It's all all talk real will they won't they.

1731
01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:39,879
Speaker 6: YouTube.

1732
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm frankly embarrassed for both of you. It's the holidays

1733
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:47,240
Speaker 1: and you both got one out of three.

1734
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:50,599
Speaker 14: Odd f off.

1735
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:52,920
Speaker 1: I'm so bad with the grade grading system. It's been

1736
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:54,840
Speaker 1: too long since I've gotten a grade. But I'm pretty

1737
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:56,120
Speaker 1: sure are thirty three percent.

1738
01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:58,440
Speaker 22: In f I think I'm ashamed of myself.

1739
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 28: Yeah, I feel I feel dirty. Now I'm hoping for

1740
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:04,320
Speaker 28: that asteroid. Now I'm begging for that asteroid.

1741
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:04,799
Speaker 6: Karen.

1742
01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 22: We deserve to only wear crocs for the rest.

1743
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 12: Of our life.

1744
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 22: Sweaty feet, sweaty gross from here on, crystal pins.

1745
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:18,960
Speaker 1: And oh all of humanity and crocs just looking to

1746
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,120
Speaker 1: the skies for destruction.
