Speaker 2: have been doing something together. God knows what. It doesn't matter.

13
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: It was kind of exciting, more exciting than most of

14
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: the things that have happened this morning. Now, something more

15
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,120

Speaker 3: my body, my choice, and I'm not going to have Audrey,

Speaker 3: who's great and makes she's an amazing burist, amazing person,

82
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,480

Speaker 3: Yes, very exciting.

91
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: And that was a weird time to meet someone because

92
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: we were all no one still kind of knew what

93
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: was going on. There was still who knew what was

94
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: going to happen with the vaccine, COVID protocols were all

95
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: over the place.

96
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: Trump was still president.

97
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: That's right.

98
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: It was just good, very different worlds.

99
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: I met you in another universe.

100
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: It was a parallel universe. Yeah, and then I think

101
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: when we met, and I remember the day after the election,

102
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: I saw you, and you know, you could tell I

103
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: was pretty shaken up by his loss, and you were

104
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: very kind to me. So I'll never forget that.

105
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: I reached out, I said, I know your man has

106
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: been the election has been stolen. We're going to fight

107
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: for this true, true, show me the lie. You and

108
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: I bought our tickets to d C.

109
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: Yep.

110
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: We said we are going to storm the Capitol.

111
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: But like in classic fashion, we overslept.

112
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: Well, I will say you because I was there there,

113
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: You were.

114
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: There, You were there. I I slept. I woke up

115
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 3: at like six p m. Missed the entire thing, and

116
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: then I had to get back to work. But you

117
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: were there, and yeah, it was you know, will end

118
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 3: up being a bad career choice. I don't know that's

119
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: all for me to say. We're going to figure that out,

120
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: but I just want you to know I stand near you.

121
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: Thank you, except for when I'm running around the Capitol

122
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: lawn screaming. Has anyone seen my friend? We were supposed

123
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: to be He told me to be here at five am.

124
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: I've been at the gym.

125
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: I'm already in my Barenholtz. He was in blockers.

126
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: Holding your picture up, showing people your IMDb, his.

127
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: Special skills, martial arts with question mark accents, not.

128
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: Great rode a horse once. Nobody could tell me where

129
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: you were. But we were all, you know, in our

130
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: you know, various American flag costumes, this kind of thing,

131
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: military gear, and so it was a confusing time for

132
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: the country and for me.

133
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: But you made it all the way into Stenny Hoyer's office,

134
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: which I was like, damn, dud, it's like you got up.

135
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: I had to use the bathroom, so uh, look, no

136
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: one stands in my way when I've I've got to go.

137
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, but anyways, I'm keeping uh, you know, in

138
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: the loop with the trial and stuff, and let me

139
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: know how that that.

140
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: Well, I've got about two weeks before I go to prison.

141
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: It's going to be eight months, and I you know,

142
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,040

00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: for this podcast.

145
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,360

00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: is really just I mean, come on, that is that's

159
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: That's God's country. That is so beautiful. But so I've

160
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: been going back and forth, and you know, when I

161
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: get on the plane, I'm like kind of hyper conscious,

162
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: you know, just because of the delta, and you know,

163
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 3: blown sure, and so I'm like, you know, when I

164
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 3: get on there, I got my mask on and I'm

165
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: you know, taking kind of quick SIPs. But then as

166
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 3: the flight goes on, I just get like lazier and

167
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: lazier and just kind of We'll eat like an entire

168
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 3: bag of peana. M's my mask off for like like

169
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: twenty minutes. So I need to figure out how to

170
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: do that better. But but yeah, I'm home now, back

171
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 3: in a sweltering Los Angeles.

172
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,479
Speaker 2: We are at the beginning of summer in Los Angeles.

173
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: It's things are just beginning to heat heat up. We're

174
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: at a simmer right now. By September one, it's going

175
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: to be one hundred and fifteen degrees.

176
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 3: We will all be in flames. I don't do great

177
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: in extreme heat. I'm from Chicago, so like northern blood,

178
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: and I sunburn easily, and I just I don't do

179
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: great at like sitting at like a pool party for

180
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: like three hours, or a kid's birthday party, which is

181
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: more likely when I'm going to these days, a pool party.

182
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 3: What am I of the situation?

183
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 2: Jesus is famous for his pool parties. It's the one

184
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: thing we all know about that.

185
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: It's a very tough invite to get in Hollywood, but

186
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: you'll meet some great people there. It just was talking

187
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 3: to David Flastino. He's coming this week. Great guy.

188
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: You do kind of one on one on one pool party.

189
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, No, I want to really get to know

190
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 3: my guests. And you know, it's it's fun, we talk,

191
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: we swim, it's food, it's lovely.

192
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 2: Are you a wintery person to enjoy cold weather?

193
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: Yes, I enjoy cold weather. I enjoy.

194
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: Making soups and stews and having an extra layer of

195
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 4: clothing and fat and I just that's my natural kind

196
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 4: of that's my time to shine.

197
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: Really in the summer, I'm dud. I'm just like sitting

198
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: there just if you're talking to me the party, I'm

199
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: just like sweating a lot and and just constantly having

200
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: to put so much sunscreen. I'm like the back of

201
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: my neck I just smell like a beach in Florida.

202
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 3: It's just like, I'm not comfortable and you're not comfortable

203
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: talking to me, So I try to stay inside as

204
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 3: much as I can.

205
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: That's fair. Yeah, I think I've I've recently come to

206
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: the sad conclusion that I I don't know that I

207
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: like any of the seasons. I don't know that any

208
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 2: weather works for me. I'm just in a constant kind

209
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: of just not enjoying anything. I think what I am

210
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 2: describing just some level of mental illness at this point.

211
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: But the depression is every season.

212
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: For me, all seasons.

213
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: It's but what are you going to do? I'm just

214
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 2: buckling down for the hot weather. You know. I would

215
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 2: like to get back to a jacket at some point.

216
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do well in jackets. I love the pockets

217
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 3: of a jacket where you can keep your phone and

218
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: your keys because you wear pants that are even kind

219
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: of tight, and I have like a big iPhone and

220
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 3: like big car keys. I just it's like lots of

221
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: it's creating too many bulges.

222
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: Right, I in the last few years have started carrying

223
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: a tote with me wherever I go, and which has

224
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: helped in a ton of ways. But my boyfriend does

225
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: you know it does the wallet and keys and phone

226
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: and pockets and sometimes just like this looks terrible.

227
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 3: You know, I was rocking for a little bit. We

228
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: got a dog during COVID, you believe that, and we

229
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 3: had to train it and used to try a dog

230
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 3: just like you kind of just like like yell at

231
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: it a little bit, you know what I mean, and

232
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 3: they do whatever you want. But now the trainers are like,

233
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 3: that's the worst thing you could do, so you have

234
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: to give it treats constantly. So I was using a

235
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: fanny pack that was just filled with dog treats on

236
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: one side. But then I started krrying like a key

237
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: and like a credit card, and I was walking around

238
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: with a fanny pack, and I know I looked just

239
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: like a loser with it, but I really dug the

240
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 3: convenience and I'm probably going to go back to it

241
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 3: just because it it's peace of mind.

242
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely. And I actually think, I mean, I may

243
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: be completely wrong here, but I feel like fanny packs

244
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: are kind of back.

245
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 3: I feel like they're for skinnyish hipsters, but for like

246
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: dads in their forties that have like love handles. You

247
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: just kind of you look like you look like kind

248
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: of like the quintessential like nerdy German tourists you might

249
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: see in like an eighties film.

250
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: Which though is describing current fashion, I think it is.

251
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: It is like short sleeve plaid shirts talked in to

252
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 3: like shorter shorts with a fanny pack is like a

253
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: hipster outfit, and it's also like someone that like whatever.

254
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: Clark Griswold like asks for directions in nineteen eighty eight.

255
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: Well, I support that, I support anybody. Pockets just don't

256
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: work for in the modern world. They've got two big

257
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: of items at this point.

258
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 3: The only solution is to do what I do, which

259
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: is to what constantly wear cargo pants and cargo shorts,

260
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: which same time at the same time. I put on

261
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: a pair of cargo pants and I put the cargo

262
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: shorts over it. No, but the cargo element of pants

263
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: does give you a nice pocket space.

264
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: It gives you eight points like these I'm worrying right now,

265
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: like these are. This is a cargo this is a

266
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: cargo short. Oh yeah, you've got.

267
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: A big fat pockets in front. So you can I

268
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: can go somewhere, I can go run errands, I can

269
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: go get a Tarot card reading real quick. And I

270
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: can grand my keys h Grandma cash, she's cash only,

271
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: and keep that in one pocket and then keep you know,

272
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 3: two or three packs of cigarettes in the other pocket,

273
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 3: smoking throughout the Whys they're so stressful, I have some

274
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: dark energy, I think because every time I go to

275
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 3: see hers. She's like death card. I'm just like, oh okay.

276
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: Just straight death cards. They're all hanging.

277
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: On all different versions of death. So I smoke a

278
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: lot d So anyways, the point is that the cargo

279
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 3: shorts really do a great job of holding the things

280
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: you need. Now, the downside is, you know you look like.

281
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 2: A dick, but I feel like with you, people just

282
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: look at you regardless of outfit. There's a dick. Here

283
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: comes a real assholes. You can't hide it. Don't stop

284
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: trying to hide it. Ike, embrace that everyone hates you.

285
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: I think that's all I can say at this point.

286
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: That is the main takeaway I'll have.

287
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: This is what your psychic has been telling you.

288
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: She has been making do that, or she just doesn't

289
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 3: like me and she's trying to get me to leave,

290
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: and they keep coming out, but.

291
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: Stop smoking in my face. Have you ever had a

292
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: real tarot card reading?

293
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: Um?

294
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: No, not like a proper one. Maybe it's some weird

295
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 3: party or like, I don't know, like network TV up

296
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 3: front events, you know what I mean? Where like yeah,

297
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: but now where I've never gone, and like really embraced

298
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: the notion that it's even possible. And I think I

299
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: don't know if I can get I'm sure it might

300
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 3: be fun, but I think it's like if it's something

301
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: I just can't get behind. It's like it's like if

302
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 3: someone tried to hypnotize me, my national would be like,

303
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna let you hypnotize me. They probably wouldn't.

304
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: I really don't think, like it's a real like you

305
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: know and the convention. You know what I'm telling about hypnotization.

306
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 3: I'm talking about like classic like you know, the watch

307
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: on the streen. Yeah, I think I would not fall

308
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 3: for that. And it's the same.

309
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: Hypnotism scares me because I, or at least for part

310
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: of my life, was prone to sleepwalking and I feel

311
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: like I feel like hypnotism could awaken that again for me,

312
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: And well, I don't want to go down that path.

313
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: Was it sleepwalking like arches stuck around your house or

314
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 3: were you like leaving the house.

315
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I would love to have left the house. I

316
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: want to go on some sort of devastating sleepwalking thing

317
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night, out throughout the neighborhood

318
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: or whatever. No, this is just in the house. And

319
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: it was more when I was a kid, And I

320
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: think that that's most people. It's when you're a kid's sleepwalk.

321
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess pep kids don't leave the house

322
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 3: because maybe you don't have like the motor skills to

323
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: like unlock the door like in that right date. Final question,

324
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 3: when you slept walk, did you have your arms forward

325
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 3: with your sleepwalking.

326
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 2: Kind of like an I love Lucy's styles sleepwalking. Yes,

327
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 2: that's a good question. I don't know. The only the

328
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: only memory I have is there was one sleepwalking case

329
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 2: when I went into my parents' bedroom, into their bathroom,

330
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: used the bathroom, then walked back to their bed, lied down,

331
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: and just started laughing while sleeping, which is terrifying. That

332
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: is something I'm sure as parents you're like, our right,

333
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: our child is possessed and uh but that's that was

334
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: the kind of the the big show stopper sleepwalking set

335
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 2: piece for good. Yeah.

336
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 3: I'm looking to get into it. I want to do.

337
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: I think it'd be kind of a cool thing to

338
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: get into.

339
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: It's kind of a hobby sleep walk amateur whatever. I Now,

340
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: you mentioned earlier that we saw each other yesterday, and

341
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to even bring this up on the

342
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: podcast because you know, uh, you agreed to be on

343
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: this podcast a few weeks ago, and I was actually

344
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: quite excited. I thought, we'll have a good time, everything

345
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: will be fine. And then a couple of days ago,

346
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: you said, Hey, could you come by my house tomorrow

347
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 2: afternoon around three thirty?

348
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: And I just wanted to look you over before we talked.

349
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 3: That was it. I just wanted to, like, I'm an

350
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: old fashioned guy. I want to give people I want

351
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 3: to shake before I do a podcast. I want to

352
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 3: shake a man's hand and look them in the eye

353
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 3: and say, don't fuck me. And so you know what

354
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: I mean. So you came, and I appreciate that, so

355
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 3: that that was the truly the purpose, just so you.

356
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 2: Know, okay, I appreciate that because you know, when someone says,

357
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 2: do you want to come by three thirty in the afternoon,

358
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: I feel like you're making an assumption that I don't have,

359
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: you know, a vibrant afternoon life, that I don't have

360
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 2: anything else going on.

361
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 3: I did not think you were just sitting at home

362
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: watching lizards. I didn't think that that wasn't the case.

363
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: I thought, hey, if you're around, we know this is

364
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 3: I want to do the podcast. But I got to

365
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: look you in the eye. That was my thought initially,

366
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 3: just so you know.

367
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: Okay, this okay, so pieces are you know? Fog is lifting,

368
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: but then fog is then again descending. Because as I

369
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 2: show up to your house, I text you, I say,

370
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: I come out front. What's going on? You come running out, sweating, panting.

371
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: I had just finished some martial arts training. Okay, moments

372
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 3: before you got there, Kickbox, I'm so sorry.

373
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: But you're holding a brown paper bag and you hand

374
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 2: it to me. You say, excited to talk tomorrow. I

375
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: can't explain. Do I feel all about right?

376
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 3: That's exactly what happened, and I'll let you tell the

377
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 3: rest because it's your your story too.

378
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: But well, I am the one. I am the offended

379
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: party here, so I'm happy to explain my side of

380
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: the story. I you know, I'm confused. I'm what. I'm worried.

381
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 2: I get back in the car. I just take a

382
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 2: moment to myself. I say, Bridger, everything's fine. Ike is

383
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: you know the doors are locked. He can't hurt you.

384
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: Now you have this brown paper bag, we'll get we'll

385
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 2: get into it on the podcast tomorrow. And obviously you

386
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: knew full well when you agreed to this podcast that

387
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: was called I said no gifts, and so at the time,

388
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: I thought, this can't possibly be a gift for me.

389
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: Maybe it's, you know, some leftover groceries. Maybe it's something

390
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 2: from his garden. I don't know. We'll talk about it

391
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: on the podcast. So now I'm just going to confront you.

392
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: I should have done it at the time. And that's

393
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 2: something I'm working on in therapy, is just you know,

394
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 2: in the moment, sharing feelings, saying you know, this is

395
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: how I feel. But again I've failed, and so I'm

396
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: just going to approach you now, is this a gift

397
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: for me?

398
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 3: Just to just to be clear one more time. Going back, well,

399
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: I called you over. I just wanted to look you

400
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: in the eye. That day, I was out and about

401
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 3: running errands, getting food from my family, and I something

402
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 3: caught my eye and I just said, okay, I'm not

403
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 3: going to I'm not going to give this a bridge here.

404
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 3: I'm just going to buy it and we'll figure it

405
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 3: out later. And I bought it and I got home

406
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: and I said, this gift is so perfect, and I

407
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 3: want to do this for one second. I don't know

408
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 3: if you ever do this with your guess when you

409
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 3: put yourself in their shoes where they're actually they're actually conflicted,

410
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: they're actually like in a way the victim, where they're like,

411
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 3: I have something so great that he'll really love, but

412
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 3: he said, no gifts. And do I risk, you know,

413
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: maybe offending him. What's worse offending him or him not

414
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 3: having this? And at the end of the day, I

415
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: wait them both. I talked to my priest about it

416
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: Greek Orthodox and we you know, we prayed on it,

417
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 3: and I talked to my kids about it for about

418
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 3: three hours. They are so fucking bored.

419
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 2: And supportive.

420
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 3: I opted to give you a gift.

421
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, you know, I think both things can be true.

422
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: I can be offended and I can appreciate a gift.

423
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 2: And I think that that's something a lot of people

424
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 2: appreciate but appreciate about me, is that I encompass a

425
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: lot of things and a lot of feelings and it

426
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: makes it's something that makes me better than a lot

427
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 2: of people. I'll just say that, so I understand.

428
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: And I appreciate. I appreciate your I appreciate that I

429
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: do appreciate what you do.

430
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 2: Thank you for appreciating something about me. Yeah, it's been

431
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 2: you know, we're solid twenty minutes into the podcast and

432
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: we finally find something you like about me, and so, uh,

433
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 2: I'll just mark that down and then we'll move past.

434
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 2: And because we do to talk about this gift, should

435
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: I open it now on the podcast?

436
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: I would love for you too. I would love if

437
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: you could stop like it. I would love for you too.

438
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: I'll try to, you know, metaphorically, gag down whatever is

439
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: about to happen, and we'll see what's going to happen.

440
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: Now it's in a brown paper bag, and we'll get

441
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: some crinkling here.

442
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is that bag is a different bag. I

443
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 3: purchased this and I didn't even put in the bag.

444
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 3: I held it in my hand and I just grabbed

445
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 3: a bag. That is a bag that I think I

446
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 3: think I got from the farmer's market. So it's just

447
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 3: so you know, the full kind of so.

448
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: You kind of you went straight from the jeweler to

449
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: the paper bag. The jewel did you say jeweler or

450
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: jewel jeweler. You were at them all, you know, whatever

451
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: jewel encrusted thing is.

452
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens.

453
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, this is quite what. I actually have no

454
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: idea what I'm looking at too.

455
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: So I want to say two things. I want to

456
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 3: say two things what I look for in a perfect gift.

457
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: There's two things. The criteria is thus one practicality. Sure, okay, practicality.

458
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 3: I heard this podcast. You got a lot of gifts

459
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 3: that are fun and kitchie, but you're not getting a

460
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 3: lot of use out of them. It's good for a laugh,

461
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 3: it's good for a laugh. Sure if you get a whatever,

462
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 3: a day planner with Valerie Harper's photo on it, that

463
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 3: is funny, and it might make for a funny bit

464
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 3: on the ship. What's going to happen to that day

465
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: planner when the show ends? Bridge? What happens? It goes

466
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 3: in the garbage or maybe goodwill? My god, they wouldn't

467
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: even maybe they would not take it. To be honest,

468
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 3: I want to give you something that you are going

469
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 3: to use, that you're going to look at and be like,

470
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 3: oh my god, I got who gave us to me?

471
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 3: Oh my god? Like Baronal, it's perfect guest, hey b

472
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: I want to have something whimsical and fun. And so

473
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 3: I'm kind of thinking, like, what is something that is

474
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: evocative of Bridger Winegar And I'm like winegar Winnegar vinegar.

475
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: This is vinegar.

476
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: And that is a bottle of very nice, high end

477
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 3: balsamic vinegar.

478
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: It must be. I think it's entirely an Italian.

479
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 3: It's all Italian. It's important, and it's not Listen, it's

480
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: not in it made in Italy, boxed in sill Mar.

481
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 3: It's from Italy. It came from Italy on a plane,

482
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 3: went to my jeweler. I got it. And this is

483
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 3: a gift that you're gonna have fun with and you're

484
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 3: going to use. You can't take whatever a golden girl's

485
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: deck of cards and put that on your buffalo, muzzarella,

486
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 3: salad and tomato. This yatchman, it's gonna give it a tang.

487
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: This is beautiful. It's I mean, this is the first,

488
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: I think, first gift I've ever opened outside of like

489
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 2: a and actually, I mean, speaking of the only gift

490
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 2: I've ever thrown away, a chewed dog.

491
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 3: Toy disrespectful to the show that was.

492
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna name name names here. Jamie Lee

493
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: gave me a chewed dog toy and she and I

494
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 2: both knew as soon as it was taken out of

495
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: the bag that that thing was going to trash day.

496
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: Bye bye, Jamie blacklisted from the podcast. Oh you're out

497
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: not invited to my lizard watching parties. She's out of there.

498
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 2: Your guss, on the other hand, is the opposite end

499
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: of the spectrum. I love a balsamic vinegar.

500
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: Who doesn't love a balzomic vinegar? Because here's the thing. Sure,

501
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 3: there's the classic uses for it, vinaigrette. Yes, yeah, you're

502
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 3: gonna put some drops on your mazzarella intimate. You could

503
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: praise a salad. Sure, we're talking to steaks. You put

504
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 3: a little balzomic on a steak, a little bit of

505
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: balzomic on a steak, and put a little parmesan on

506
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: top of it. Oh, bellissimo. And there's other things too,

507
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: But this is this is a nice one. This is

508
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 3: one that you could you have as your friends over

509
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: you're having it's a friend's birthday and and they love

510
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: Italy and they've never been because they don't have the money,

511
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: they haven't saved the right way. They might have a

512
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 3: drug problem, but they always wanted to go to Italy.

513
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 3: And you're having an Italian themed birthday party and you

514
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 3: come out with a bowl that has some of this

515
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 3: vinegaro next to some oil and sliced bread. He won't

516
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 3: have to go to Italy.

517
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: He can continue doing drugs and problem solved. You can

518
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: just stick the coke, can continue. You don't have to

519
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 2: travel the world. Come to my house once a year,

520
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: have a little appetizer, dip the bread and.

521
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: The oil, then the vinegar, and then go to your drugs.

522
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: His dealers happy, We're all happy.

523
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 3: Everyone's happy. He don't have a loan of money to

524
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: go to Italy. It's great because it.

525
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 2: Keeps his retired parents worried and they need something to

526
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: activate their minds. So everybody, it works out for everyone.

527
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 3: And whenever you think of this incredibly damaged friend who's

528
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 3: a real burden in your life, you'll think of me

529
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 3: and my gift.

530
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: Where did you like, was there a first time you

531
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: had had this balsamic vinegar?

532
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 3: Actually I have. I got this at a store. I

533
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 3: love Larchemont wine cheese. Oh, they very cleverly, like when

534
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 3: you order the sandwich or the meat, they have the

535
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: rows of all the different imported kind of you know whatever,

536
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 3: art of jokes and olive oil, and they really just

537
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: end up leaving there with a lot of stuff you

538
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: don't need, but you are happy. You have, and I've

539
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: had that before, and I invited a friend of mine,

540
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: real Italian over and he was blown away.

541
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: Do you cook a lot?

542
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: I actually do cook a lot.

543
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 2: Are you good?

544
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 3: I'm not bad. I'm not like like, I have some

545
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 3: friends I know who are like truly incredible chefs. But

546
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 3: everything I make is pretty basic. But I have three

547
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 3: kids and they all have Midwestern bloods, so it's like

548
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: just cooking like tons of meat and potatoes, most different

549
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 3: kinds of meat potatoes, and like bread. But I do

550
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 3: love it, and I always imagine like I'm on top chef.

551
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 3: When I'm in the kitchen, I yell stuff out. I'm

552
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 3: like three minutes and my kids are like, what shut up?

553
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: Is there like a thing a recipe that if you

554
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: have people over, you're like, oh, this will impress them.

555
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make this. I can count on it.

556
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: There's a pretty nice, again basic version of like a

557
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: Sunday roast dinner that I do or get, like some

558
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 3: nice steaks. I have like a humongous cast iron skillet,

559
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 3: and I have like a gas grill, and I just

560
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: put the skillet on the grill and let it get

561
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: like super hot, and you could like put like four

562
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 3: whereason maybe five steaks in there at once, so you

563
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 3: can kind of cook all that. So I do that,

564
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 3: and then I make just very good roasted potatoes and

565
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: just all kinds of like roasted vegetables and stuff. And

566
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 3: that's the thing that I just like to eat a lot.

567
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 3: So my friends come over and my kids will actually

568
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 3: eat it and not complain.

569
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: So coming as a non parent, I feel like I

570
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: am one of these people who just assumes feeding kids

571
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: and all of this is not as difficult as it

572
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: should be. But like with kids, you know, children love

573
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 2: things like chicken nuggets and chicken fingers. But to me,

574
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: it's like if they just had never had it, wouldn't

575
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: they just eat other things?

576
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 5: Well, they will eventually have it somewhere, right, like another

577
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 5: parent full Yeah, And I don't mind feeding them stuff

578
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 5: like that for like lunches and stuff, right.

579
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 3: But I have some friends who are like, well, I'm

580
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 3: making whatever, I'm making tacos for dinner, but my oldest

581
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: one doesn't like tacos, so I'm going to make some

582
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 3: pasta for him. And then the youngest one, she only

583
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 3: likes hamburgers. I'm making. That's that is not that's bullshit.

584
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 3: You're eating what I eat, that's the thing, or you're

585
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: not going to eat right? Yes, that is like to me,

586
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 3: it's just otherwise you'll just it's too much. It's it's

587
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 3: too specialized. And so this is I cover all. This

588
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 3: is my parenting book, which you did. I don't know

589
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 3: if they sent you to the publishers.

590
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 2: Well, I gave the blurb without reading.

591
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 3: I was no, no, I know. I appreciate it that

592
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 3: you I was months ago. Though. It is done, and

593
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 3: I think you, I think you should read the book

594
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 3: before you give the final sign off. I go off

595
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 3: on some controversial I got some hot takes. Let's say

596
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 3: spanking is good. Look, take a look.

597
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: Somebody had to say it, right, somebody.

598
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 3: Spanking hollering, a lot of hollering. There's a whole chapter

599
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 3: in hollering.

600
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 2: Back to the cast iron skillet for a minute. These

601
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: are so daunting to me, and I feel like people

602
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: treat them like pets. Are you one of the like

603
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 2: where you have to do all of this extra care,

604
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: you're seasoning it all the time, you can't wash it.

605
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 3: Pets, It's not like a pet like it.

606
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 2: Doesn't it sounds like every time.

607
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 3: Well, listen, did I buy a small little floor cage

608
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 3: with a mat for it? Yeah? Yes, Like I have

609
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 3: this one for my dog, and I have one for

610
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 3: my like three pants. And then you just gotta just

611
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 3: bring it in the shower with you every other day

612
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 3: and it's totally fine then and just me, oh, yeah,

613
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 3: you do have to wake up at midnight and coat

614
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: it with wesson otherwise it just won't work. No, I

615
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 3: just all I do is wash it out when I'm done,

616
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 3: make sure it's really dry, and put like a dish

617
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 3: towel on it on top of it so if I

618
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 3: put anything else on top of it, it won't rest.

619
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 2: Okay, do you wash it with soap or is it

620
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 2: just water?

621
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 3: I do after, like, when I'm done with it, I

622
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 3: let it sit for a minute because it's so high,

623
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 3: and then I just give it like a quick scrub

624
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 3: with soap and water. And I'm sure there's people that

625
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 3: are like, you're actually taking away of flavor, but like

626
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 3: I don't, like, I don't get a ship spago is

627
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 3: fucking you know.

628
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 2: Okay, that's extremely reassuring. I mean it's so nice to

629
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 2: hear somebody not be as precious about because every time

630
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 2: I get online and look at them. I'm like, oh, well,

631
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: this is just another job.

632
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: It's fine. And the best thing about them is is

633
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 3: that you could like see something on the stovetop and

634
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 3: then just pop it into the hot oven with the

635
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 3: whole pain to take it and put on it right.

636
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 3: It's pretty good. So I'm a I'm an advocate for

637
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 3: for a cast iron. I have a whole I have

638
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 3: a whole podcast about it. If you ever come.

639
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's reassuring to know. I mean, it probably

640
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 2: won't change my mind. I I don't know. I'm I'm

641
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: probably not gonna buy one. Why why am I.

642
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 3: Even the incredible five minutes sales job I just did.

643
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 3: You're like, uh, we didn't give it a come over

644
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 3: and show you how easy that is?

645
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: Largely a kitchen equipment for me, I need people who

646
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: know what they're doing with it to show up and

647
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: basically like you know, boyfriend behind the girlfriend showing how

648
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 2: to throw the football. Yeah, someone standing behind me and

649
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: guiding me through kitchen equipment because.

650
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 3: I just step further and just hire like a butler

651
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 3: and a chef.

652
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: And then I've done that and we just got in

653
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 2: fights and they you know, they were they occupied a

654
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 2: lot of space, and we had different music taste and

655
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 2: it just got difficult.

656
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 3: We we had to fire our butler.

657
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: See I'm the one who kind of scooped him up, and.

658
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh I know. We fired him. And you called

659
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: me and were like, I'm considering hiring hiring Patrick, and

660
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, just so you know, there was

661
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 3: I had a vintage watch in my underwear drawer that

662
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 3: is gone and my wife says she didn't take it

663
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 3: and no one else knew about it. So have fun

664
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 3: with Patrick.

665
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 2: Okay. This explains my Patrick's Christmas gift to me. I

666
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: you know, I opened it up and I said, where

667
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 2: did you get this watch?

668
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 3: Is it? Is it a Is it a Garfield watch

669
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: from nineteen eighty four limited edition? To is it? Isn't Garfield?

670
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 3: A cat?

671
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 2: It was? Until I sold it on eBay?

672
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 3: How much self eBay?

673
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 2: I got seventeen bucks?

674
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 3: You, my friend, respectfully, fucked up because I could I

675
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: know someone that would pay fifty bucks for that.

676
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 2: Well, you don't need to tell me. I fucked up

677
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: because Pat. It led to Patrick and I had a

678
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 2: huge fight which led to him getting fired. So you know,

679
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 2: it's a look if I could go back and do

680
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: it all over again. Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't

681
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: know what I would have done. It's it's hard to

682
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,760
Speaker 2: say as I'm I'm an eBay freak.

683
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 3: I love getting it on three dollars. Thirty three dollars. Yes,

684
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 3: you're thirty three dollars lesser than you could have been.

685
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 2: And not to mention, I no longer have a butler,

686
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 2: so you blew it? What am I supposed to do?

687
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 2: At this point? My life is spiraling out of control.

688
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 3: It's bad, it's not.

689
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: But now I've got a you know, a nice bottle

690
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: of balsamic. You have to be your own butler. Sometimes.

691
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 3: Sometimes you have to be your own butler.

692
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 2: That's what I tell a lot of people, and that's

693
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: what I'm learning to do myself. I feel like playing

694
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: a game.

695
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 3: I love games.

696
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 2: Would you like to play a game?

697
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 3: I love them?

698
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: Do you want to play a game called Gift Master

699
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 2: or a game called Gift or a Curse? I'll explain

700
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,479
Speaker 2: how it works once you pick.

701
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 3: Oh, oh, okay, let's do gift or a curse? Because

702
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 3: I am I'm seeing Lady Maria at twelve thirty, and

703
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 3: this might inform that let's do a gift curse.

704
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 2: All right, I need a number between one and ten

705
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 2: from you.

706
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with classic number seven.

707
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I have to do some light calculating. So while

708
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: I'm doing this, you can recommend something, you can promote something,

709
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: you can just kind of quietly smoke, do whatever you want.

710
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 3: Do you, guys? Do you gut my light up? My

711
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 3: smoke alarm will go off for a minute because my

712
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 3: wife won't let me disconnect it. What do I want

713
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 3: to promote? I I jesus well, I'm gonna be on

719
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: There looking for I mean, I've got the DVR set

720
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 2: for all of your appearances.

721
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 4: Thank you.

722
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 2: I'll upload those, of course to my channels that I'm

723
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 2: going to do a live watch on Twitch, which I'll

724
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 2: also just be adding my own commentary to ice, please

725
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 2: please little, this is how this game works. I'm going

726
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 2: to name three things, and you're gonna tell me if

727
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: there are a gift or a curse and why, and

728
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: you know there are there are correct answers here. People

729
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 2: have come on this game and just absolutely fallen on

730
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 2: their faces. They they've embarrassed themselves. It's it's hard to watch.

731
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 3: So I wanted to be careful. Everyone is crystal clear.

732
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 2: Okay, so you have to tell me if it's a

733
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 2: gift or a curse and why be careful. First up,

734
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 2: this is a listener suggestion gift to a curse being

735
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: a plus one. Let's give the listener a name. Her

736
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: name is Olivia. I don't want Olivia, you know, thank you, Olivia.

737
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 2: Thank you being a plus one at a wedding where

738
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 2: you don't know anyone. Is that a gift to a curse?

739
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 3: That is a for me? I would probably try to

740
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 3: because I like to think of myself as optimistic. I

741
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 3: would think of it as a gift. But I believe

742
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 3: most people would think it is a curse or does

743
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 3: that land me? Do have to pick one or the other.

744
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: So you're kind of looking at it at it as

745
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: like maybe I'll meet new people, maybe I'll have a

746
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 2: good time.

747
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 3: Also, no one knows me. I can be crazy, I

748
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 3: can take my pants off on the dance floor, I

749
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 3: can do the macarena. No one's gonna judge me. Yeah,

750
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 3: I would try to make the best of it, But

751
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 3: I would say that most people would look at it

752
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 3: as a curse because they're like, oh, man, I want

753
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 3: to talk to and this is going to be weird.

754
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: You've done an excellent job here. It's absolutely a gift.

755
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 2: It's such a low pressure situation. Going to a wedding

756
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 2: is can largely just be a painful, boring experience or

757
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 2: just confusing or fraught with social What have you is

758
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: if you're the only if no one knows you there,

759
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 2: if it's terrible, who cares? You can do whatever you

760
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: want to. You get to paint the entire picture of

761
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: the wedding. You get to make it what you wanted

762
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 2: to be.

763
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 3: I was a plus one at a friend's. It was

764
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 3: the most beautiful Armenian wedding I've ever seen in my life.

765
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 3: I didn't know one person there.

766
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 2: A plus so fun, so great Armenian food.

767
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 3: The food was great, people were dancing, it was hilarious.

768
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 3: I didn't know anyone. I didn't have to like t

769
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 3: talk about me. It was all about these people. It

770
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 3: was just like it was great, It was fantastic. It's

771
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 3: a gift, excellent job. Okay, so we're off to a

772
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 3: good start. We're also a great start, better than some

773
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 3: of these other losers you talking about later or earlier.

774
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: Right, essentially all of my guests is what we're saying. Okay,

775
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 2: Next up, gift or a curse. Oh, this is another

776
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: listener suggestion from someone named Gabby and gift of a

777
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: curse store credit store credit.

778
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: God, that's such a good question. It so depends on

779
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 3: the store. But I am going to say it is

780
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 3: a curse only because you're tied to it. You're tied

781
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 3: to the store. If you get a refund, you can

782
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 3: go somewhere else. But if you had a bad I

783
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 3: don't think this has ever even happened to me, at

784
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 3: least done very long time, because normally, if I buy

785
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 3: something and then I come home and I put it on,

786
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 3: I hate it. I'm just like, well, I own this

787
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 3: now and I'm gonna wear it and look like shit,

788
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 3: I'm just too tired to go return and stuff. But

789
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 3: like I feel like you would want the freedom to

790
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 3: go somewhere else so I would say store credit curse.

791
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: I fantastic, absolutely a curse store credit. I love a

792
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 2: gift card. I'm very vocal about loving a gift card. Yes,

793
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 2: store credit is the gift card you forget or it

794
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 2: ends up being on like a flimsy receipt that just

795
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 2: ends up getting washed. Yes, it's store credit. And it's

796
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 2: always a weird amount of money. It's a puzzle piece

797
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 2: that doesn't quite fit.

798
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 3: It's always a huge hassle for the person who's helping you,

799
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 3: the cashier. Yeah, this is for store credit. They're like,

800
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 3: and then they have to go get like Sandra or something,

801
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, and like it's just they

802
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 3: hated too. No one likes it.

803
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 2: They have to stand there and oh, yeah, awful. Store

804
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 2: credit is terrible. Very give me cash or just refuse

805
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 2: the return.

806
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 3: Say you're stuck with yourself. Yeah, keep it, give.

807
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 2: It away, burn it for all I care. Okay, wow,

808
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 2: I two out of twos so far. Come on, final item,

809
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 2: gift or tanning beds.

810
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 3: I am going to say here's I have used tanning

811
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 3: beds before, back in the day, back in the day

812
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 3: when I'm very I have like the skin tone of

813
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:26,720
Speaker 3: just like a kind of pig almost. It's very like

814
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 3: I'm like so pale and milky and like. So there

815
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 3: was a time where I had to get some color,

816
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,959
Speaker 3: and this was kind of before spray tans, and I

817
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 3: use a tanning bud, and every time I used it,

818
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 3: I swear I could see the cancer molecules like shooting

819
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 3: into my body. So and and now in this day

820
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 3: and age where you have so many great options. If

821
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 3: you want to get some color, you could go to

822
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 3: a tanning bed. You can go to a spray tanning

823
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 3: place day they there's all these things. You could self pan,

824
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 3: you could if you have the right skin tone, you

825
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 3: could go in the sun. You know, for me, I

826
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 3: only got about fifteen minutes before I start cooking. So

827
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 3: it's one hundred percent a curse who at this point

828
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 3: is using a tanning bed. Still it's twenty twenty one,

829
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 3: we're reverting back to like nature. The natural look is

830
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 3: all in. You don't want someone who is like like

831
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 3: golden orange with white teeth. That is very passe. The

832
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 3: new type is love handles and backfat chest hair. Some

833
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 3: of the chest hair might be going gray. This is

834
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 3: the new body type, and this is not me speculating

835
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 3: this is from different women's websites and blogs and goops

836
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 3: that I've been reading.

837
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 2: This is my article in Vogue.

838
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 3: I read your article in Vogue. The cover was amazing,

839
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 3: by the way, Can I thank you? But yeah, it's

840
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 3: absolutely curse.

841
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 2: Look, I I went into this thinking he's going to fail.

842
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 2: Tanning beds are I was going to try to mount

843
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 2: some defense for tanning beds, and as much as I

844
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 2: would love to, I mean, they are such a wild

845
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: invention of humanity. I think you've You've made an argument

846
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 2: here that is something I cannot fight against. You've got

847
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm saying this. You've got three out

848
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 2: of three, and I think you're literally the second person

849
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 2: in the history of this podcast to get three out

850
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 2: of three.

851
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 3: Listen, when you're going through the list of the top guests,

852
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 3: there's going to be a couple of people that you're

853
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 3: going to struggle with and maybe, like I think they

854
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 3: might be number one, But I know and I trust

855
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you'll remember this moment

856
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 3: and they'll be like, yeah.

857
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 2: Wow, incredible. I'm I have to say, I'm a little

858
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 2: bit sick to my stomach. I was hoping to send

859
00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 2: you away in shame.

860
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 3: You wanted to see me fail. You set me up

861
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 3: for failure, and that's the right. I'm just I succeed too.

862
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 2: Much, right, I'm constantly kind of throwing obstacles in your

863
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 2: way throughout, just waiting for you to trip up. Yes,

864
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 2: And I don't know. I don't know. This is kind

865
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: of a Wiley Coyote Roadrunner style situation that I've found

866
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 2: myself in, like like in Space Jam, in Space Jam

867
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 2: and Warner Brothers Space Jam, we all know those characters,

868
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 2: and I don't even know what to say. At this point.

869
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 2: We have to move on. This is the final segment

870
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 2: of the podcast. It's called I Said No Emails. People

871
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,959
Speaker 2: write into I Said No Gifts at gmail dot com. Look,

872
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 2: they're at the end of their rope. These people have questions,

873
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 2: they have problems. A lot of my listeners have a

874
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 2: lot of problems in their lives. They have nowhere else

875
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 2: to turn. They've alienated their friends and family, and so

876
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,439
Speaker 2: they think, maybe I reach out to this man who

877
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 2: hosts a and then they get what they need, which

878
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 2: to my credit, is incredible.

879
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 3: I think people, I think we kind of need to

880
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 3: re look at the way we see heroes. I think

881
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 3: it's time we start maybe demythesizing you know, firefighters and

882
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 3: first responders, and start really kind of grouping in this

883
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 3: other subcategory of heroes, which is is people with podcasts

884
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 3: who take the time, who take the time from watching

885
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 3: a TV show or staring slack jawed in two lizards

886
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 3: in the backyard. They take time to help people and

887
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 3: to say, if I don't have the answer, maybe the

888
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 3: guy who was in suicide squad does.

889
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 2: Thank you. It's tie about time that somebody stood up

890
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 2: and said, firefighters, there's big deal.

891
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 3: You jump into the burning homes of people's minds and

892
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 3: save their mind cats.

893
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 2: I'm scurrying up the ladder with my hose to you know,

894
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 2: save Grandma in the mind of my listeners. This is

895
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 2: let's get to it. This is hello Bridger and cherished guest.

896
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 2: Oh you must feel good about that.

897
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 3: How did they know?

898
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 2: Well, look, they might be talking to your psychic.

899
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 3: Well I'm going to have a lot to get down

900
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 3: in it with her. Let me tell you.

901
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 2: This is thank you for reading my question. And now

902
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 2: so they are making some big assumptions because you know,

903
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 2: there was a good chance this question wasn't going to

904
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 2: get read. But sometimes you assume and things work out.

905
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 2: My childhood best friend is pregnant and her mother in

906
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 2: law is hosting a baby shower for her. My friend

907
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 2: is registered for gifts, so no problem there. I'll purchase

908
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 2: something from her registry, and I'm also crocheting a baby blanket. Okay,

909
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 2: good for you, You've too much information. However, this is

910
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 2: a joint baby shower for my friend and her sister

911
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 2: in law, who's also expecting and whom I've never met.

912
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 2: My question is twofold. Should I get a gift for

913
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 2: the other mom to be? If so, what should I

914
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: get her? Only her first name is on the invitation,

915
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 2: But with some slew thing, I did find her registry.

916
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: So you're you're revealing a little bit about how you're

917
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 2: Your people's privacy is no concern for this listener. Do

918
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 2: I Number two? Do I bring a hostess gift for

919
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 2: the mother in law who is hosting this party at

920
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 2: her home. I attended a bridal shower at her home

921
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 2: five ish years ago and brought a bottle of wine.

927
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 2: I think kind of know that I'm going to make

928
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 2: it about me and the baby is going to be forgotten.

929
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 2: So I just, off the top of my head here.

930
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 3: When you show up somewhere, you're the baby that needs attention.

931
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 2: Yes, I've got the diaper, I'm drooling, I'm screaming for

932
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 2: breast milk. So that it has made going to parties difficult.

933
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it, I get it. I have been

934
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 3: to a couple. They used to be I'm pretty sure

935
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 3: strictly for women only, right yesteryearl cigars and watch you

936
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 3: know the cowboys, But now of course they kind of

937
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 3: are are I've been to a couple where it's there

938
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 3: for everything else. I actually just went to one recently

939
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 3: and it was lovely. It was fantastic. Here's the deal, okay,

940
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 3: is first of all, it kind of I'm picking up

941
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 3: a little bit shade from K and regards to the

942
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 3: sister in law. She's like and it's for her sister

943
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 3: in law. And do I need to bring a gift

944
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 3: for the hostess, Like I might be thinking that in

945
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 3: my head a little more than it actually is there,

946
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 3: but it kind of felt a little bit of shade.

947
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 3: So what I would suggest is, I would say decorum,

948
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 3: would say, get a gift for the sister in law.

949
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 3: Doesn't have to be anything big if you can get even,

950
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 3: you know, so you get them like a bunch of

951
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:36,280
Speaker 3: pacifiers or something. And then get a gift for the hostess.

952
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 3: And if you like her and you got a couple bucks,

953
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 3: you get her like a nice bottle of rose. If not,

954
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 3: you bring like just like a you know, like a

955
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 3: seven dollars bottle of wine. Scratch the price off, take

956
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 3: your price gun that you stole from the rafts. Make

957
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 3: a new price that says forty nine to ninety nine.

958
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 3: Don't make it too high. If you make it too high,

959
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 3: they'll smell a rat and they'll chase it right out

960
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 3: of the wedding. And then you put the new price on.

961
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 3: You walked up, you're like, thank you so much, and

962
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 3: this is for you, and they'll look at that and

963
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 3: they'll they'll gives you a look like thank you, thank you.

964
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 3: So that's all I need to do is get the

965
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 3: price gun.

966
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 2: I would love a price gun, now that you say it.

967
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 2: So where does where do you get a price gun?

968
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 3: You have to steal one, you have to I think,

969
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 3: you know. You go to Ralse and what I do

970
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 3: is I see the guy making the prices and I

971
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 3: walk up to him and I say, hey, there's there's

972
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 3: an old, old guy in the next aisle. You shut

973
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 3: himself and he'll be like God, damn it. You know,

974
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 3: He'll get up and he'll walk around, and then that's

975
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 3: when you strike, grab the price gun, put in your pants,

976
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 3: and the thing is you walk out. This is the

977
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 3: beaters don't beat because it's not an item. You're still

978
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 3: it doesn't like a piece of store. Yeah, but I

979
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 3: will say the one on the one on third and

980
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 3: Labra I've hit a couple of times, so they're a

981
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 3: little more skeptical now. Like the last time I tried,

982
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 3: the guy brought the pricing gun with him to go

983
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 3: investigate whatever.

984
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 2: Wow I have. I have a traumatic memory of the

985
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 2: third in Lebrea Ralphs, A rat ran across my foot

986
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 2: outside of it, outside outside. I want to be clear because

987
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 2: I do love her Ralphs.

988
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 3: I love her and I love That's my Ralphs.

989
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 2: That's your Ralphs. That used to be my Ralphs before

990
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 2: I was run out of the neighborhood, before I found

991
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 2: out it was just absolutely teeming with rats. It should

992
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 2: be clear that I lives in a part of Los

993
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 2: Angeles that is just I mean, it's basically the plague.

994
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 2: It is.

995
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 3: It is. It's like you're you're in the sixteenth century Genoa.

996
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 3: It's just giant rats and dock workers hacking up lungs

997
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 3: and people walking around with bublos and it's just absolutely

998
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 3: a wretched scene.

999
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to be careful about, you know, if

1000
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 2: you run into somebody to start talking to them in

1001
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 2: this part of Los Angeles, it may just end up

1002
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 2: being a rat king, just a bunch of rats tied

1003
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 2: together that it resemble a person.

1004
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 3: It's good because which is good because my kids love

1005
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 3: the Nutcracker, so they're like, oh, look who it is.

1006
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 2: Okay, all that aside. So I was given some very

1007
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 2: good advice here, which I fully disagree with. Number one,

1008
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 2: I think, you know what, don't get this other person

1009
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 2: a gift. You don't even you only know her first name.

1010
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 2: If that's all the information they're giving for this joint

1011
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 2: look separate baby showers. I don't know, we're not combining

1012
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 2: baby showers maybe birthdays. And I feel like not even

1013
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:39,439
Speaker 2: that this second person, I think you completely ignore, act

1014
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 2: like she's invisible. You show up to the party and

1015
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 2: just shower your friend with the attention and gifts. This

1016
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 2: other person is person non grata. You want nothing to.

1017
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 3: Do, say you are truly be honest showing your non

1018
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 3: gift bias here. Oh, I'm just hoping that you can

1019
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 3: look at this on a just look at things on

1020
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 3: a case by case basis and not bring in your

1021
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 3: preconceived notions of how fucking society should be. Maybe and

1022
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 3: you might be staring her in the wrong direction because

1023
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 3: you bridger hate gifts.

1024
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 2: I why don't you just save it for your next

1025
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 2: book and next podcast. You don't come on here and

1026
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 2: tell me what I do or where I'm coming from.

1027
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 2: This is I am taking this as a case by

1028
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 2: case basis, and not only case by case. But I'm

1029
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 2: looking at number one question, I'm answering it with a

1030
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 2: nice piece of advice, and then I'm looking at number two.

1031
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: Do I bring mother in law gift? And I again

1032
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 2: say no, you gave her a bottle of wine five

1033
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 2: years ago. And if she's already gone through that, she's

1034
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 2: got a problem. So she should still have at least

1035
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 2: half a bottle of wine after five years.

1036
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna tell you this right now, and this

1037
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 3: is breaking news. I am. I'm gonna have another kid,

1038
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 3: and I when I have the shower, you're gonna be invited,

1039
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 3: and you are gonna fucking bring a gift to not

1040
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 3: only my wife's sister, who will also now get pregnant,

1041
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 3: but to my mother in law who will be hosting it.

1042
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 3: And this is not something I'm taking lightly. I have

1043
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 3: had a visectin me, my friend, I'm gonna get that

1044
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 3: shit reversed and have another child. Just to see the

1045
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 3: look on your face.

1046
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 2: You're putting a lot on the line here. I mean,

1047
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 2: we'll just see what happens when I show up with

1048
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 2: simply a gift for your baby. You're gonna be cutting

1049
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 2: that gift in half. Give it to sister. Half of

1050
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 2: this goes to sister in law. Actually, you're gonna be

1051
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,439
Speaker 2: cutting it in thirds because mom in law is gonna

1052
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 2: want in on that. And there's gonna be a lot

1053
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 2: of egg on all of your faces.

1054
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, there's gonna be giant black sores on your

1055
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 3: face because you're gonna have the fucking mudonic play. So

1056
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 3: for that that's coming, that's coming Fall twenty twenty two.

1057
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 2: My friend, Well, kay, take all of that advice. Uh,

1058
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 2: you know, hit up your psychic see what he or

1059
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:20,400

1060
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,479
Speaker 2: the psychic listen to this podcast. Maybe we're always looking

1061
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 2: for new listeners. We're always just trying to build this audience,

1062
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 2: especially in the psychic community, and see what the psychic

1063
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 2: has to say. Because obviously I and I are not

1064
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 2: going to come to anything close to an agreement on

1065
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 2: this advice, and you know whatever.

1066
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 3: But this is good. This is why our show together works.

1067
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 3: It's like Cisco and Ebert or Hannity and Calms.

1068
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 2: I look, I've got this beautiful bottle of balsamic vinegar

1069
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 2: which I'll put away in hopefully you'll forget about it.
