1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear,

2
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: But you're a guess to my home. You gotta come

3
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: to me empty, And I said, no, guest, your own

4
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: presences presence enough. I already had too much stuff.

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

6
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts, I'm Bridger Wineger. We're

7
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: of course in the backyard. I'm you know. I said

8
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 3: I was not going to take the backyard for granted,

9
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: probably a few months ago, and then immediately started taking

10
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: it for granted. And then, you know, so we're trying

11
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 3: to return to a place of being happy in the backyard.

12
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: I love it. I love being here, and I hope

13
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: by the time this podcast reaches you, egg prices have stabilized.

14
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 3: I feel like that's a big issue for all of

15
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: us right now. It's gotta repair itself. The birds have

16
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: got a whatever is happening with them. Maybe they're healthy

17
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: now or what have you. Let's try not to think

18
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 3: about the super volcano and wyoming for the next hour

19
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,440

00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,480

27
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: it's lovely. I could just sit here for hours.

28
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: Well, let's make this our like first five hour episode.

29
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: It's gonna be. We're gonna say, I like to be

30
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: the biggest in everything I do, so I want to

31
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: have the biggest gifts, the biggest podcast, the longest interview

32
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: you've ever given. I don't care if you're in pain

33
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: and misery by the end of this. I'm going to

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: sit here as long as I feel like because it's beautiful.

35
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: There's like children playing, there's birds chirping. You've really created

36
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: quite a space back here.

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate that I can take almost no credit

38
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: for it, but I'm trying to maintain.

39
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: This is Hollywood. Bridger, take the credit, Cake the credit.

40
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: It's a good fact. Since Bridge's not taking the credit.

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: Everyone who's listening, I'd like you to know that I've

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: actually been the one responsible for creating this incredible space.

43
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: We'd like to thank David, my contractor for finally coming

44
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: on the podcast. He's done a beautiful job with the home, he.

45
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: Acts, he writes, he contracts. I wish I could contract.

46
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: My wife would think that's so hot. She loves it

47
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: at what I do. But I do. I think if

48
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: I could fix one thing in my home, if she

49
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: would just be like, the clothes would be ripped off

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: me in a second. I come in so excited about

51
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: the new comic book that I've written. You know, I

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 2: get a very very loving and supportive pat on the back.

53
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: But if I could one time fix a leaky uh.

54
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: We have a leaky uh skylight that has been leaking forever.

55
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: It's like your garage, is it better? Did you fix it?

56
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: David? The situation with the water is I mean, I'm

57
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: hearing this, hearing a leak in your home. It is

58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: setting off so many trauma.

59
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: Alonggg trigger alert, trigger alert.

60
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: It's too much for me. I mean, I'm it's also

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: comforting to know that another person has the misery of

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 3: water coming in.

63
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: The misery the misery. Luckily we're Angelino's, so it's a

64
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: short pick of time in which then we quickly relegate

65
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: it back to the backs of our minds, so we

66
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: don't think about it anymore. And then the next year,

67
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: two years later, it comes from and go, oh, I

68
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: was supposed to fix that, and now I'm finally doing it,

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: and you know how I'm doing it. How I'm going

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: to give you the trick?

71
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: Are you ready I need?

72
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: Because I think you need the same trick as I

73
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: have called delegation. You pay someone else? Who are you?

74
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: But how do you decide on who to delegate?

75
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: I'm a rule of threes guy, Okay, I believe in

76
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: a rule of threes. I get three quotes and I

77
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: always go with the cheapest one. Wow, And so is

78
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: it necessarily the best candidate for the job?

79
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: Is it?

80
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: The guy who showed up with the ladder that looked

81
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: like it was duct taped together and his pregnant wife.

82
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: This isn't a made up story. His pregnant wife who

83
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: he was making climb the ladder up to my roof

84
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: to take a look around, that's a true story. But

85
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: their price quote was about one third of everyone else.

86
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: So I thought, well, I do have homeowners insurance and

87
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: umbrella insurance for liability. God, she doesn't look safe up there,

88
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: but I'm saving so much money.

89
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 3: Why does he have his pregnant wife doing the ladder work?

90
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: You tell me, you tell me? He looked awfully busy

91
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: on his phone. I was like, this is this is

92
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: not my pla, It's not my place. I stick to

93
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: my lane. I'm upstairs writing comic books.

94
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: Well, he's very active on social media, I'm sure, and

95
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: trying to get those likes and so well. But that's

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 3: a great trick. I mean, I have had quite a

97
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: few people come through. I've kept no information they've provided,

98
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: so I don't know what the quotes are. Are you

99
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: getting on Yelp to find them? Where are you finding

100
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: these people?

101
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: The second bit of advice I'm gonna give you today,

102
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: and this is the second of seventeen pieces of advice.

103
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: I want you to take good notes everyone who's not watching.

104
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 2: He's got a giant feather quill pen and a large

105
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: yellow roll of paper. It's like a scroll of David

106
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: dust Mulchin's notes for Bridger. Number two is I'm gonna

107
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 2: keep going back to this theme. Delegation, delegation, delegation. I

108
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: have a wonderful assistant, my incredible assistant, Jennifer, Who I say, Oh,

109
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: jen here, I am full grown adult homeowner a leaky skylight.

110
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: For this isn't an exaggeration. Everyone don't spill your coffees

111
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: out there. Six years but I forget about it until

112
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 2: the next raine.

113
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: It's really the rain goes away and you forget.

114
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: And guess what, each time it gets worse. And so

115
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: now we have a miniature pool which my children love,

116
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: on the second floor of the house. Jennifer, you know

117
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: I could use the Google. Sure, I'm sure I could,

118
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 2: But I'm busy, Bridger, I am. I have coffee and

119
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: comic book writing.

120
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: Voting around the h.

121
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: I'm getting I'm testing out inner tubes. There's so many

122
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: cool new inner tubes. You'd be amazing tubes for what

123
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: for floating in my pool? Oh?

124
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 3: Horse, of course.

125
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: And I do have a pool in the backyard. But

126
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: who needs a pool in the backyard when I can

127
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: have one steps away from my bedroom? So delegation, that's the.

128
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: Goal of the delegation. Yeah, that's a I mean, I've

129
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: got my boyfriend. Maybe it's time to shove some of

130
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: this off on him.

131
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: Yes, and I'm sure, yelp, I'll ask, Jennifer, I tell you,

132
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: what is it? Yelp. I don't know. I really can't

133
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: think about it.

134
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: It's hard for I'm getting on Yelp and I'm hot.

135
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 3: Do we believe in Yelp anymore?

136
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 2: Do we know? Because we know that if, like if

137
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: I was selling hot dogs and I created a Yelp

138
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: account and I had the resources to delegate, let's say

139
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: ten of my employees to create fake Yelp user accounts

140
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: and go on and say, because you can tell, Oh,

141
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 2: it's so easy to tell we're performers. Yes, I can

142
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: smell performance a mile away. I hope everyone listening this

143
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: is like John Waters smell a vision. I want you

144
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: to lean close to your laptop or whatever listening device

145
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: you're using. Can you smell the performance I'm giving today?

146
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: Trust me, it's not as powerful or difference as the

147
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: ones you see on Yelp. Sometimes it's desperate and you gult,

148
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: this was the best hot dog. This is not my

149
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: aunt's hot dog stand. I would never create a fake

150
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: Yelp account to tell you how incredible the condiments. I

151
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: can't stop thinking about them. We went on our anniversary

152
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: to get a massage at next to this hot dog place.

153
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes the stories are so conclude, so you get what I'm.

154
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: Saying of course, Yeah, I think there was a period

155
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: when he help. Maybe it must have been twenty ten.

156
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: It's been years since you could get on there and

157
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: be like, I trust this.

158
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: And they screened for the truth.

159
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: Did they screen for the truth?

160
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: Oh? I think it was like screen for THEE And

161
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: then who was it Elon Musk? No, it was it

162
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberg. No, I'm just kidding. Someone took it over

163
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: and realized why would we want to do that when

164
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: we can monetize this thing so powerfully? Because we all

165
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: know as performers. This is rule number three of David

166
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: Desmalchin's notes to bridge. Your illusion is so much more

167
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: fun than reality.

168
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: Sometimes I love just we love a little bit of magic,

169
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: a little bit of smoke and mirrors, even if it's

170
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: with a yell review of Chipotle. Oh god, you know,

171
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: it's so much fun.

172
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: For my anniversary, we went to Chipole, this guacamole romance.

173
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: We finally rekindled that spark.

174
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: I felt like the server knew me.

175
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: Uh so you I mean this leak and we'll get

176
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: away from water. But I do want to just like

177
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 3: when the rain began, was it like, let's brace ourselves,

178
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: Let's get a pail out.

179
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: And put it on no bridger. Come on you, you

180
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: you have to understand. This has been for years and years,

181
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: so it's not until and that only is making that

182
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 2: because there's now a puddle that it seemed. And I

183
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: was organizing old scripts from the attic that I had

184
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: had in these giant tupperware boxes. I was trying to

185
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: make space and clear things out so that I could

186
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: the responsibility to my assistant to pick up these heavy

187
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: boxes and take to a storage unit that I don't

188
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: know where it is, because why should I. She's the

189
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: one who found it, and I think she found it

190
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: through yelp. But the boxes were underneath where the water

191
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: was coming. So what did I do? I just took

192
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: some of the good don't take the good towels, David.

193
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 2: My poor wife, she got the good towe We just

194
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: had our bathroom redone. And why would you put the

195
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 2: good towels? And what are the towels going to do

196
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: when you keep throwing a towel into a pool.

197
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: Good luck every towel in my house, the good towels,

198
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: the bad towels. We used to dry the dog. It

199
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 3: was every towel it exists. And now when I'm drawing

200
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 3: myself off, I'm thinking this was used to mop up floodwater?

201
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: What is happening in my life?

202
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: And here this is the Hollywood way of solving this

203
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 2: problem as well. Besides delegation, I'll tell you a quick sidebar.

204
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: I was having a really tricky time. Gosh was this

205
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: almost two years ago? Yes, my gosh, it was the

206
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 2: August of two thousand and twenty one, so a year

207
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: and a half ago. I separated from my family on

208
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: it job, going through some really difficult times, a lot

209
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: of stress, both personally professionally. One of the exercises that

210
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: I work through in therapy is, you know, using the

211
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: power of our mind to go to places that help

212
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: us to regulate, get our breath, back to a place

213
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: of calm, trying to get ourselves, you know, back to

214
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: our present state of being and this magic that I found.

215
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: I was in the lovely little island of Malta working

216
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 2: on a film and I was so stressed and my

217
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: physically exhausted. We were working these crazy hours in crazy schedule,

218
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: and when I would ever get a little break, I

219
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: bought myself a cheap little scuba mask from the not Scoopy.

220
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 2: You know snorkeling thing from the little shotski shop on

221
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: the way, and I would go float in the water

222
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: and watch the little fishies and just get zen and

223
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: present and breathe through the you know, of course snorkeling too,

224
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: because you don't want to breathe underwater. And that's now

225
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: my place I go to when I feel like I'm

226
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 2: getting bumped out of my uh present space. So the

227
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: great thing was I walk in. There's the water trickling

228
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: through the thing. There's the pool in the floor, the

229
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: new floors which we just had redone by the way,

230
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: beautiful floors, and I just, you know, I laid down

231
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: in that pool and I floated and I didn't think

232
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: about a thing. And my poor wife walked in and

233
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: discovered me there and thought, he can't even.

234
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: And how many snorkeling masks did you end up buying?

235
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: I bought three because I thought that the first one

236
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: was the right size. It didn't save the receipt. This

237
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: was like a chosk. This was like a save a

238
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: receipt in Malta. Yeah, this wasn't a hey can you

239
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: look at my chase app? Because I bought that the

240
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: you know, it was like okay, and it was what

241
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: ten dollars, So I got another one. And I was

242
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 2: laying by the side of the water one day, terrible mood,

243
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: trying to get zent and really angry at the world,

244
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: and I was just trying to do all I could

245
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: to get to a good space, so laying and then

246
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: I got fascinated by how much litter there was on

247
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: this beautiful beach. So I went to clean all the litter,

248
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: and I accidentally put that mask in with the litter,

249
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: which I then tossed out. Third mask is now at

250
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 2: my home in Sherman Oaks. Okay, and it's a good one.

251
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 3: Okay, hold on to that. Yeah, I mean, were you

252
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 3: able to enjoy Malta at all? I'm so curious about

253
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: malt maybe because of the Maltese falcon. There's some sense

254
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 3: of mystery there, Bridger.

255
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: They're flying over us right now because they knew I

256
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: was about to talk about this, and TMZ has been

257
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: dying to know my thoughts on Malta. They want the

258
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: scoop tip four. Whenever you've got a big tip and

259
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: you go on a podcast, you save it till you

260
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: know TMZ is hovering overhead.

261
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: This is essentially the Madonna Sean Penn wedding all over,

262
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: so many helicopters circles.

263
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: This is justin Bieber's junk at the hotel room window.

264
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: I have basically never I didn't know anything about Malta.

265
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of film noir, classic cinema, and

266
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 2: so the Maltese falcon, as you mentioned, is my only familiarity.

267
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: I honestly, I thought it was maybe somewhere near Morocco

268
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 2: in the Mediterranean. Do you really know? And this is

269
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: near cosa blank, I'm not sure. So when I got

270
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: the opportunity to go, we'd been filming in Berlin and

271
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 2: then we went to Malta because it was a film

272
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: that's set aboard a giant sailing vessel in the eighteen hundreds,

273
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: and they have these big, beautiful pools that have been

274
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: built for movies to put boats, and their infinity pools,

275
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: so the way that you shoot them, it looks like

276
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: you're at sea, even though you're really in a safe,

277
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: controlled environment where they can cause storms and it's very neat.

278
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: I love movie magic, so I did have a little

279
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: bit of downtime. It was one of these things, you know,

280
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 2: the COVID stories that will tell the tales for the

281
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: rest of our lives. But it was one of these

282
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: where it's like in the height of COVID, so they

283
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: reserve this entire hotel for just us. Wow, which was wonderful.

284
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: And I did have my wife and kids with me

285
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: at first, so they were having a blast because the

286
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: whole staff was meant to bubble with us, so they

287
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: weren't leaving and coming. Everyone was living there with us.

288
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: We're eating all of our meals together and going right

289
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: to set and coming back. There's a big, beautiful pool,

290
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: a big indoor heated pool. It was our place, right

291
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: and it was nice. It was very nice. Apparently wasn't

292
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: nice enough for some of the members of the production

293
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: company who then moved into the very crowded public. Oh no, yes,

294
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: tourist jammed luxury hotel right across the water. And I'll

295
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: never forget standing there and like looking at me, so

296
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: all this is for this nothing. And by the way,

297
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: when I was laying on that beach, just you know,

298
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: getting myself present. This is one of the many little

299
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: nudges that I received from that experience that put me

300
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: in such a wonderful mood that I had to go

301
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: float with the fishes, because I thought I thought we

302
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: were all supposed to be living in this bubble together.

303
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: But I don't know, maybe someone's wife didn't think it

304
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: was nice enough or things. So then all of a sudden, God, yeah,

305
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: but hey, Bridgert, this is note five. This is Hollywood.

306
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: This is Hollywood, bab, It's Hollywood, baby, So all all

307
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: bets are off. All bets are COVID rules laws. They'll

308
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: put the fear of God in you about one thing.

309
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: Then you find out they're on their private jets, go

310
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: into Austin texts for a concert. It means nothing. But

311
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: this is Hollywood, baby.

312
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 3: If someone's even mildly uncomfortable, it doesn't meet their standards.

313
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: Suddenly, by yeah, which is why I want to be

314
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: the boss. You know, I love being the employee, but

315
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: it would be nice to be the boss once in

316
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: a while.

317
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 3: I mean, David, it's really interesting that you bring this up.

318
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: This is, you know, kind of rule breaking behavior. Nothing

319
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 3: applies to me. I'm in Hollywood. I'll do whatever the

320
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: hell I want because this podcast is called I said

321
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 3: no gifts. Oh, I was really looking forward to having

322
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: you here today. I was really thinking we would have

323
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 3: a good time. Thought. David's such an interesting person. We're

324

Speaker 3: gonna have fun, We're gonna chat.

325
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: I'm nervous.

326
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: Well, we'll bond over our mutual leaking homes and then

327
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 3: maybe move on. So I was a little I don't

328
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: want to say upset. I was a little shaken when

329
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: you pull up to my house and get out of

330
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 3: your car and you're holding a I'll say it, a

331
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: massive bag.

332
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: May I ask you? Is it the biggest bag thing?

333
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: I think is the biggest bag we've ever gotten. The

334
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: next guest is gonna have to buy me a car

335
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: to be.

336
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: So triumphant today. Everybody listening, I want you to know

337
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: I haven't smiled like this since I saw the Muppet

338
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: Movie in kindergarten. I am grinning so broadly right now.

339
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: All of my teeth, which I just got cleaned, are

340
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: really shining in the sun of this beautiful backyard oasis.

341
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: We may have to circle back to the Muppett movie

342
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: and dental work. I love both of those topics. But

343
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: right now I'm not letting you distract me. I'm keeping

344
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: my eye on the ball. It's a PJ Masks gift bag.

345
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: This is clearly a gift for me.

346
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: There's no question, none whatsoever. I know you well, you

347
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: know me extremely J Masks. It is part of the

348
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: zeitgeist at the moment, and I like to tap into

349
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: things like that. It's like there's pickleball, PJ Masks, and

350
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: I don't know a few other things that I feel

351
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: like all the hip kids are into these days, Am

352
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: I right?

353
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 3: PJ masks. Everybody's doing runch, avocado toast and PJ masks. Well,

354
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 3: I mean the truth is out. Should I open it

355
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 3: here on the podcast.

356
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: I would be very happy if you did. It's gonna

357
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: be a bit of a thing I want. Can I

358
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: tell a quick tale?

359
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: Of course?

360
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: So I'm a bit of a mama's boy. I was

361
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 2: raised at Kansas. My mother always taught me that if

362
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: you're going to the first time at someone's home, perhaps

363
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: the first time for a business meeting, maybe any party,

364
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: you never ever ever come empty handed. And as a

365
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: host of many, many, many gatherings, I'm a social butterfly, okay.

366
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 2: I mean our house is like it is party central.

367
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: We have a pool on the second floor. In case

368
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: anybody listening wants to know if they should come to

369
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: a party at my house. We have kids' birthday parties.

370
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: I don't just do the bouncy house. I bring in

371
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 2: the wild animal guy. I don't we have grown up parties.

372
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 2: I don't just bring in you know, good DJ. We

373
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: get live music. I mean, I go all out. But

374
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: here's the thing. I always say, Hey, no gift. Well here,

375
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: I used to always say no gifts, and then people

376
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: listened sometimes and I just felt like, I'm going to

377
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 2: disobey right your order, sure, because I care, and I

378
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: care more about honoring the spirit of my mother than

379
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: following your my feelings, then your feelings and your rules,

380
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: and if boundaries must be broken, they're damn well gonna

381
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: be broken. Well, so, just to give you a little hint,

382
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 2: I thought, because we're just getting to know each other,

383
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: we're just forging the foundations of this leak bonded friendship,

384
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: I wanted to give you a gift that kind of

385
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: reflected a bit of myself. And I went to one

386
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: of my favorite little nooks around the Los Angeles area

387
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: that really tends to represent what I what I'm looking

388
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: for and things that I care about, and kind of

389
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 2: struck out and so I thought, well, I'm just gonna

390
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: put myself on a budget ja as we called it

391
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: when I was a kid. Did anybody else do this

392
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: Jacques Pinney? No, oh yeah, we called it Jackpine because

393
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: we would always have stuff on layawaya. I mean it's June,

394
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: maybe July. I'm thinking about Christmas. My poor parents. What

395
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: a budget. I don't know how they did it. I

396
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: really don't.

397
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 3: Oh way, Layoway is an incredible thing that I feel

398
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: like it's kind of vanished.

399
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 2: Can I talk about the haircuts I used to get it? Jockpine?

400
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: You got haircuts.

401
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: They had a little barber, got a woman and a

402
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: guy in the jaz Penny right near the layaway death.

403
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: You'd go in, they'd put I mean it was straight

404
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: up bowl cut. I don't know why my mom could

405
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: have saved the three dollars and fifty cents.

406
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 3: Uh.

407
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 2: Terrible haircuts, but you could get your haircutage.

408
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 3: I'm remembering. I'm having a sense memory of the like

409
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: shampoo conditioner smell. When we would go to the catalog counter,

410
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 3: the salon was right there. It was like, what a time?

411
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: What a time? What a time? So anyway, so I'm

412
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: gonna admit this publicly to the world. I'm I could

413
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: be a cheap skate. Oh sure, So I was making

414
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: my like I made a little pack to myself. I thought, well,

415
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: I love this show. I think it'll be fun. I

416
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: can talk about it to Bridger. I'm gonna say, I'm

417
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: gonna walk into this lovely Goodwill and I'm gonna buy

418
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: the first thing I see, and that's the gift. Well

419
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: I should know myself too well by now, because I

420
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: walked in. I did buy the first thing that I saw,

421
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: but it was so odd and it just is so unique,

422
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: and so I don't know that. I thought, well, I

423
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: don't want to just show up with that. So let's

424
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 2: see what's the second thing I see? Oh, that was

425
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 2: a good one. Oh, let's see what the third thing

426
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: is that I see? That was good? And then it

427
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 2: just got out of control. I have a problem. I

428
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: don't know when to stop. So I'd love it if

429
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: you want to do this. Why together? My dear friend

430
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 2: Cat Bardoux, amazing makeup artists. She sculps eyebrows. She came

431
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: over last night and wrapped a couple of gifts for me.

432
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: Some packs you emptied the Goodwill?

433
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: I did you mind?

434
00:20:59,359 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: Is that?

435
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: Okay? We just make a day of this can I say.

436
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: I said it's going to be a five hour podcast.

437
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 2: Everybody listening. I want you to stretch. I want you

438
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: to get a big glass of water. My exercises traded.

439
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm pulling out another a wrapped gift, which is

440
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: is this shining themed wrapping paper?

441
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: It is? I love that film, so it's an important

442
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 2: film in my life. I'm sure such a beautiful many

443
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: of ours. So yes, that is uh, that is like

444
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: the carpeting of the hotel.

445
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: David is doing a beautiful job of opening.

446
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: I'm really job wrapping cat. I'm not a good rapper.

447
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: I'm horrible. I'm devastating.

448
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 2: So this is one of the Goodwill discoveries that I'm

449
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: very proud of because I want one, and I think

450
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: it's important to give people what you want so they

451
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: know you better.

452
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: What is this? This looks like an item that may

453
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 3: be unused.

454
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: These are I would not give you used. Especially when

455
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: you see one of the items, you'd be very disappointed.

456
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 2: I'm not going to give you clothes from the good Will.

457
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: Even though I've bought many clothing item for the good Will,

458
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 2: I didn't have time to go get it washed, get

459
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 2: it all done.

460
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 3: Okay, what.

461
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: Is it?

462
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's called so easy egg eas it never Oh,

463
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 3: this is something that I truly want. Yeah, it's you know,

464
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 3: a hard boiled egg. It somehow peels the egg for you.

465
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: You hard boil the egg without the shell, bridger without

466
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: the shell.

467
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: Wait, you done?

468
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: Crisis right now? And I know it's something that's really

469
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: keeping us all up. And my dear, I'm not joking.

470
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: My friend Elaine called me this point and said, I

471
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: had a terrible nightmare last night. There's no eggs left

472
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: in the world. And I'm not Joe. I mean, this

473
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 2: is a real problem. We know that there's you know,

474
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: egg farmers out there struggling, and people want their eggs.

475
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: But like I saw this and I thought, I'm still

476
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: I don't care. I know eggs are coming back, they

477
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: have to return, come back. What is the world without you?

478
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: Now have an Eggy's So how does this work?

479
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 3: I truly cracked the egg and then dump it into.

480
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: I asked my assistant to look into it from I

481
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: haven't gotten the full download on it yet. There's a

482
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: PDF coming. Don't worry. I didn't have time to actually

483
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 2: look into how you do this? I just buy the thing.

484
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean this is a if there's ever been

485
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 3: an as scene on TV, it's the eggies. Sounds like

486
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 3: a sucker.

487
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: You stick that little It looks like the TV guide

488
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: logo on any box. Where's my credit card? Is this

489
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: a business expense? How do I get my hands on it?

490
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: It's an eggie. It's a hard world egg without the shelf.

491
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 2: It's exciting. Okay, let's keep moving.

00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: You can go ahead and dive in here.

493
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: So so again, remember this was the first item I saw,

494
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 2: and I made a commitment to myself. I said, whatever

495
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: I see first, I'm buying for Bridger. And I looked

496
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,760

497
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: tiptoe away from that. Don't pretend, don't avert your gaze.

Speaker 3: I mean, I got that. The what I'm squeezing here,

499
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:01,119

500
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: adult diapers?

501
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 2: This I don't know. I did, I don't. All I

00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 2: used gift from a good Will that is not goodwill.

508
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: That's the opposite of goodwill.

509
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 3: Break.

510
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: You're to bring you a package, have used prev prevailed brief.

511
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: I'm going to say Goodwill has marked these as tools.

512
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: The tag off. I'm so embarrassed. Everyone listening, just know

513
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 2: spent on a pack.

514
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 3: You should be ashamed. This mom's disgusted.

515
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 2: I've really disappointed you. Okay, let's keep going.

516
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: I got to set this aside for when you know

517
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 3: when the time will come and I'm gonna need to

518
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 3: use the diapers.

519
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 2: What do I see?

520
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: There see another as scene on TV. Let's get into it.

521
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: This this is really special.

522
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have a full Thanksgiving me get ready. I've

523
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 3: got the Potato Express microwave potato cooker, which I feel

524
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 3: like is the most unnecessary. Can't you just throw a

525
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: potato in a microwave?

526
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: It's never as good? Bridger, how do you do? That?

527
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 2: Made me ask, how do you do you do baked potatoes?

528
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: I don't do a baked potatoes, but I've never done

529
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: one in a microwave. If we know that, what a flex.

530
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. I have to move my seat back

531
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: because First of all, I meant to ask, do you

532
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: do deviled eggs?

533
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 3: I don't. I do a hard boiled egg.

534
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: You've been like a summertime barbecue with.

535
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 3: With a devil. I'll show up with just a huge,

536
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 3: loose bag of hard boiled eggs, just wet as possible.

537
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: I love good the jar of pickled hard boiled eggs.

538
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: Can we just have you had one before? I haven't dared,

539
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: but I know I'm going to do it at some

540
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: point in my life.

541
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: It feels like it's that's a mountain everyone should climb,

542
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 3: everyone needs. I haven't done it before, try anything once.

543
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 3: There must be something to it. They're all over the nation.

544
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 2: Well they're internationally.

545
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: It's a big I believe that.

546
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: I mean, any pub establishment should go into it. Seems

547
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 2: like in the world there's one language that everyone speaks,

548
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: and it's the language of the pickled egg jar.

549
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 3: I feel like other countries in general are just way

550
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 3: more comfortable with pickling than the United States.

551
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: Some some more comfortable with pickling than smiling or I

552
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: don't know. It depends where you are in the world.

553
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: Some people are more you know, kind. But I always

554
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: find the pickled egg jar, and I always wonder and

555
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: they never It just seems like no one's touched it

556
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: in a long time. But I think they last forever.

557
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: They must, just like the Potato Express. For anyone listening

558
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: who's curious, it's a timeless gift. It's something that really says,

559
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: I love you. If you're thinking about the I know

560
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: we've got Valentines approaching. The Potato Express is we we

561
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,239
Speaker 2: do bake potatoes. We love a baked potato bar, but

562
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: we normally would rub it in olive oil, put some

563
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: kosher salt on it. If you wrap it in a luminofoil,

564
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: put it in the oven. Right and there goes in

565
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: an hour of wait time with the Potato Express ladies

566
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: and gentlemen as seen on television, and you can watch

567
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: your favorite show and in just four minutes you're gonna

568
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: have a fresh, hot, baked potato. It's gonna taste like

569
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: it came right out of the oven.

570
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 3: Full disclosure, David is a huge investor in Potato Express.

571
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: I do get kickbacks. They're listening, They're like, wait, are

572
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: you going on? I said, no gift, I said, I am.

573
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 2: Why do you ask? They said, but what would you

574
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 2: do for twenty five extra dollars. I'll pimp your potatoes.

575
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: Okay, next, Okay, I mean, let's put these aside, because

576
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 3: there are you so many Do you like to cook?

577
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: I actually like to cook. I don't.

578
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 2: You don't cook, but you do, like you and this

579
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: is the reason why. Because you're always afraid of burning

580
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 2: your fingers.

581
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 3: I'm famous for being afraid of burning burning my fingers.

582
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: They live in fear, abject terror of possibly injuring these

583
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 2: really off beautiful hands of mine. Well, never, never again,

584
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 2: because although this was my nickname in high school, this

585
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: is not.

586
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 3: Me hot hands.

587
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: Hot hands.

588
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 3: That's happening at this good one. The amount of cooking

589
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 3: items that this goodwill had to offer, we're all, is

590
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 3: this also you can.

591
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: Easily open you can easily open a jar, you can

592
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: grab anything you want, and no matter how hot it is,

593
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 2: you're not gonna hurt those delicate fingies.

594
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 3: Well, we'll post this instagram at some point people need

595
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 3: to see what's happening here. But the things they're suggesting

596
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 3: with the hot hands, it's a pair of gloves that

597
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 3: are essentially uh to protect your hands from burning, but

598
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 3: they're showing like someone just grabbing hot French fries off

599
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 3: of a cookie.

600
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely, somebody is pulling.

601
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: Bacon straight off of the griddle.

602
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 2: Is there a theme?

603
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 3: And then we've got an egg.

604
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: And they used Hagkis shell.

605
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: This is this is someone who doesn't own a single

606
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 3: other tool in their home. They don't have a spoon,

607
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: they don't have a spatula.

608
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: Hey, that's one way to look at it. Rule six

609
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: on David's notes to the Hollywood Aspiring Podcaster is look,

610
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 2: always be using your imagination. Always be using your imagination.

611
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: Lady and gentlemen. Hot hands, it's amazing. It's heat safe

612
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: cooking gloves. You can use this for reasons that they

613
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 2: can't legally put on the bag. There are things that

614
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: I know you can do with a hot hands glove

615
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: that if you're listening and you're considering possibly doing some experimenting,

616
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: I don't. I can't. I can't. Even there's yard work

617
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 2: you can do with it.

618
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 3: There's rescue a family member from a burning.

619
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: Home, burning home. I mean, before we get carried away

620
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: with hot hands, should we go this just I had

621
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: to grab because it was I mean, it looks used.

622
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 2: It's not, I promise, And there's twelve. I mean, I

623
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: guess our listeners need to know what we've What.

624
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 3: Is this thing? It's an Oreo Ultimate dunking set, which

625
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 3: every home should have. Every home should If you don't

626
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 3: have this, your life is totally a problem.

627
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: I've had often. I have a jar of milk because

628
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: I only buy milk by the jump. I have a

629
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: mug because I only drink out of mugs. And I'll

630
00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: have a big, big, beautiful, long plastic box of Oreo cookies.

631
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: And I don't know because I've heard if you dunk

632
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 2: Oreos and milk, it's a thing.

633
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,479
Speaker 3: You've heard that's a thing.

634
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: But I've never figured out how.

635
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: To cross that bridge. I couldn't have the set. You

636
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: didn't have the tongs that come with this. It's got

637
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: or little. It's almost a tweezer.

638
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: It's ultimate. It's an ultimate dunking set. Ladies and gentlemen.

639
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: You get two glasses, you get two cookie cages. You

640
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 2: know what a cookie cage is. By the way, I'm

641
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: not gonna I'm not gonna lie. Okay. I've got a

642
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: incredible five year old daughter named Penny, who is just

643
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: the funniest person I know. My son Arlo, also one

644
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: of the most funny people I know. He's eight. We

645
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: do love a cookie dick dipped. We love a cookie.

646
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: We love a cookie dipped in milk the whole other

647
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: A cookie dipped in milk does tend to if you

648
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 2: leave it just a hair too long, start to crumble.

649
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 3: It may up at bottom of you and.

650
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 2: My five year old. No matter how long it's been

651
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 2: since she's washed her hands, no matter how much playground

652
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: dirt is under those nails, she's gonna just gladly reach

653
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: right in to that milk, causing me to lose my

654
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: appetite and kind of pale and walk away from the

655
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: scene and ultimately cause major problems for my family. Of course,

656
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: this is one of the leading causes of the ruptured

657
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: family in America right now. Cookie dunking gone wrong. Now

658
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 2: with the cookie cage.

659
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 3: What does the cookie cage? Are you putting it into

660
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: the mug?

661
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: You put the cookie in the cage, Bridger, and then

662
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: you dip it into the mug full of milk, and

663
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: then you have no worries. You can lay back. First,

664
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: you could listen to this whole podcast as it stretches

665
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 2: into its seventeenth hour, and you can pull that cage

666
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: out when you're darn well, ready, that cookie's gonna be soaked.

667
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: It's gonna have soaked up as much milk as you want.

668
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: It's gonna be so and then you hold the cage

669
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: above your mouth, open it and there you go.

670
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 3: You've created a milkshake.

671
00:31:59,000 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: You have?

672
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite cookie?

673
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: You know? I thank you for asking.

674
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 3: I need to know because this is a topic that's

675
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: very important.

676
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 2: Many many, many things. And I know she's going to

677
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: listen to this and laugh when I say it, but

678
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 2: it's the absolute truth. And I can hear her right

679
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 2: now saying that's not true. I'm a philistine in my

680
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: wife's size. I am a guy from Kansas whose favorite

681
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: food is still fried chicken, and I love the deviled egg,

682
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: and I love you know. I'm just I'm simple, simple man.

683
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: Simple means salt of the earth, as some would say.

684
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: I I love going to your chain grocery store and

685
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: getting that cheap box of the sugar cookies with the

686
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: pink icing or sometimes the blue icing rum. The brand

687
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: that I keep my eyes peeled for the most is

688
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: loft House. Although there are some knockoff brands, there's something

689
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 2: about it that reminds me of being a kid and

690
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: making cookies with Plato. There's even a smell to it

691
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: that kind of evokes that childhood Plato sense memory. That

692
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: is that's it.

693
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 3: I love a loft house. I mean it is maybe

694
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: the softest food on the planet. You don't need teeth

695
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 3: to chew a loft house.

696
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: You don't. In fact, it's why it's one of the

697
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: hottest selling items on the nursing home circuit today, right

698
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: next to hot hands.

699
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: Okay, let's get back into the bag.

700
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 2: Bag, Let's get back in the bag.

701
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: I feel like I've won a sweepsteaks here.

702
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: So I've spent my life reading comic books. I love

703
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 2: comic books. I love all you write comic book I

704
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: write comic books. I love acting in comic book adaptations

705
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 2: that go to film and television. One of my favorite

706
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: things about comic books is, did you ever read comic books?

707
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 3: I did read comic books. I'm like a casual comic

708
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 3: book fan, I would say.

709
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 2: Got it. I am. I was comic curious as a kid,

710
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 2: and then I went full tilt by third, fourth, fifth grade,

711
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: and I love all form of comic books, but in

712
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 2: the vintage and classic comic books, which still hold a

713
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: very special place in my heart. They used to really

714
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 2: utilize at least three, sometimes up to five pages in advertising,

715
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: and they would sell the smallest blocks of advertising, and

716
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: it was just filled with the most incredible stuff that

717
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: just tantalized me as a child. Stuff that you'd see

718
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: in the back of there, like Oh, the magic kit

719
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 2: Get Strong over Night kit, This Lucky Rabbit's foot will

720
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: make all your wishes come true. This joy buzzer will

721
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 2: amuse your friends. This joke book will make people like you.

722
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 2: They knew how to advertise to me, and every time

723
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: I had an opportunity, I would try and send away

724
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 2: for these things, these magical X ray specs that were

725
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: going to come in the mail and I was going

726
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 2: to be able to go to the pool and look

727
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: through people's bathing suits. Didn't work. But one of the

728
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 2: things that I loved that I would see in the

729
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 2: back was an item that has never lost its I think.

730
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 3: Oh this, and this is interesting. It's a Whoope cushion,

731
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 3: but we're not calling it a Whoope cushion. We're calling

732
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 3: it a super Whooper cushion.

733
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 2: This is twenty twenty three, and because there are issues

734
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: with trademark, branding, etc. I'm now excited to be the

735
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: spokesperson for Super Whooper. With Super Whooper, you get something

736
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: so much better than any whoopie you may have made

737
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: in the past. You may have made Whoopy, but you

738
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 2: have never made Whooper.

739
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 3: Where did the Whooper come from? Well, how fascinating, haven't

740
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 3: I haven't used a whoopee cushion or Whooper. Let's be

741
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 3: respectful here in years and this is a classic.

742
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: From the minds of the good folks at NASA Collins.

743
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 2: Super Whooper. It's a cushion that you inflate and then

744
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 2: when your friend comes over to sit in the oasis,

745
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: you distract them by pointing at maybe some exotic bird

746
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: that's perched on a beautiful limb in your backyard. And

747
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: while they're distracted, you slip the Super Whooper under their

748
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 2: posterior allow them to sit.

749
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: They're humiliated. They're absolutely humiliated. Now I have the upper

750
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 3: hand again. I don't have to worry about them taking

751
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 3: control of the situation.

752
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 2: This is Hollywood, This is how. This is a tip

753
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 2: that I think everyone listening needs to get out their

754
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 2: pens and jot down. Always get the upper hand.

755
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 3: Devastate people in any way you possibly can that's all

756
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 3: that matters.

757
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 2: You humiliate them with flatulence. I don't listen. I did

758
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 2: sport a lot when I was in a kid and

759
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 2: all the way through high school. Since then, sport just

760
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: kind of wasn't a part of my life. And I

761
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 2: went to theater school right out of high school, and

762
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: then I don't even really watch anymore. And one sport

763
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 2: that I've had zero and I mean zilch interest in

764
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: pursuing at all, even though it's actually not exaggerating, cost

765
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 2: me some opportunities professionally to get to hang out with

766
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: people who've invited me because I just never took the

767
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 2: time to learn. Is golf. Oh, my son at eight

768
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 2: decided I want to play golf, So I'm taking him

769
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: on saturdays to a driving ranch. I know nothing about.

770
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 2: He's incredible. He's amazing. He hits the thing and it goes,

771
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: and all these you know, very serious guys along the

772
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 2: lineup and he's doing good, and they'll talk to me

773
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 2: as if you know, I know the things about the

774
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: iron and the thing, and I nod and I go

775
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: a huh. Well, there was a gentleman next to us.

776
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 2: Every time he swung the club during his driving range.

777
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 2: Practice time was he would expel the most unique sound

778
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 2: from his posterior. And I just tell you this quick

779
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 2: anecdote to let everybody know in case you thought flatulence

780
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 2: wasn't funny anymore, you've never seen an eight year old

781
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 2: cry with laughing. Oh this is the way, my son.

782
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 2: But he tried to keep it together because he wanted

783
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 2: to be respectful of this poor old guy next to him,

784
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 2: who every time he swung his club was playing the trombone.

785
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 3: My niece is that age, essentially, and the exact I mean,

786
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 3: it's like a miracle, the sort of humorage. It's all

787
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 3: she wants. Where does that come from?

788
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 2: I thought they weren't funny anymore, and guess what, they're

789
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 2: still funny.

790
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 3: A seven to eight year old. It's the world to them.

791
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: And honestly, I was also laughing.

792
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 3: What sports were you playing?

793
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 2: I kind of tried everything as a kid, but the

794
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 2: sport I excelled the most. And because by the time

795
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 2: I got to high school, I was doing I would

796
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 2: I was running in the spring and doing track and field,

797
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 2: but wrestling in the winter. And then my biggest sport

798
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 2: that I was the best at was football. Oh wow,

799
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 2: I was I was a big boy. By my senior

800
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: ye of high school. I'm about six two and I

801
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 2: weighed like two hundred and thirty pounds while you were

802
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 2: perfectly hitting the gym. I was very big. My older

803
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 2: brother was a really excellent basketball player, and I had

804
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: seen his past. I knew, let's go back to the

805
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: Muppet movie. Okay, Kindergarten. I'm sitting in the front of

806
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: the theater at the Oak Park Cinemas in Kansas. I

807
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: was all of three and a half four years old,

808
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 2: and I mean that experience so transported me to another place.

809
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: Watching Sweeten's run through the screen into their screening room.

810
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 2: At the end of the film, I believed there were

811
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: Muppets in the space with us. That's how powerful that

812
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 2: experience was. That was the first seed planted. There were

813
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 2: many many more along the way that always spoke to

814
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 2: my heart that I thought going to Hollywood, because that's

815
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: the theme of the Mother the Road, go make a movie,

816
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: moving right along the Magic Store. I wanted to go

817
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 2: to the Magic Store, but when you're getting Kansas, you

818
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 2: just nothing seemed like that realistic to me. And also

819
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 2: my mom and I didn't have a lot of money.

820
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 2: When thinking about where was I going to go to college,

821
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 2: and and so I was decent at football, and it

822
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: was a ticket for me to potentially get some support

823
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 2: and help financially to go. And sure enough, by my

824
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 2: senior year of high school, there were some nice, good

825
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 2: schools that were interested in having me come there. And

826
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 2: I thought I could get an English degree while I'm

827
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 2: playing football. And then maybe I wanted my dream was

828
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: to have been like the cool junior high or high

829
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 2: school English teacher, drama teacher who then also coaches football.

830
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 2: I thought, like, that's a path I could see forward

831
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 2: from myself. But I had two really incredible teachers and

832
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: a very very supportive mother who said because I was

833
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: dipping out of football practice early, and thank God for

834
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 2: coach Merrill, who would say to me, even though we

835
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: were getting ready for the big championships, he would let me.

836
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: No coach would ever do this. And this guy was

837
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: not what I would consider a progressive educator in the

838
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 2: state of Kansas. He was pretty old school, but he

839
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 2: would let me leave, even though I was starting offensive

840
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 2: center for his team, leave practice little early to go

841
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 2: rehearse Oh the fall play, How sweet? It was amazing.

842
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 2: And the teacher said to me. The drama teacher and

843
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 2: my speech teacher both said, you got to go do this,

844
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 2: do acting. It's something you gotta do, and they helped

845
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: me get an audition for a conservatory college program called

846
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 2: the DePaul Theater School, as well as several others, and

847
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 2: I not only got in, I got the scholarship that

848
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: I would have needed to go. And I walked off

849
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 2: the football field at the end of our last game,

850
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 2: which we lost to Lawrence High, and I think they

851
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: stole it from us. You're never going to let go,

852
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 2: never letting it go. I kicked the door every day

853
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 2: but then I never looked back. But but I.

854
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 3: I would have never guessed that you were like college

855
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 3: football material.

856
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean not like Division one, Division two schools,

857
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: smaller colleges, but it was I was gonna I knew

858
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna go professional. I knew I didn't have

859
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 2: that capability, but there were recruiters and I was definitely

860
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,959
Speaker 2: going to get the help I needed to get. Here's

861
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: the other thing, my brother. I watched my brother play

862
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 2: collegiate basketball and he loved it. It was his life.

863
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: It wasn't my I knew the demands of being a

864
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 2: successful collegiate athlete, was that that is your life, the job,

865
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 2: it's a thing, and I was. I was kind of

866
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 2: by the end of you know, I was. I wanted to.

867
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 2: I was always like, I need to go watch what's

868
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: the movie? I need to see what's the comic. I

869
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: need to get to. But hey, the path we're sitting,

870
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: those of Hollywood.

871
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 3: Just absolutely ransacking a good will. Let's get back in here.

872
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: This is from my own collection, and I just wanted

873
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 2: to share it with you because it's something we've already

874
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 2: tipped on. But I actually have two of these, so

875
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 2: I would never give you if I only had one.

876
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. I would. I actually would. After this conversation, Bridge,

877
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 2: I think we're very close. Now I want to give

878
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 2: you one of my from my collection of vintage classic comics.

879
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,720
Speaker 3: This is amazing. This is a really vintage comic, Crypt

880
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 3: of the Shadows. This is from when comics cost twenty cents.

00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: Yes it is. What year do you think this is

882
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,640

Speaker 3: Crypt of the Shadows.

884
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: Yes, and Marvel and DC, both as we all know,

885
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: are the big publishers and comics these days. They put

886
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 2: out all manner of anthological horror comics back in the day,

887
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 2: which featured amazing art, very scary and cool spooky stories.

888
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 2: They always had these great shocking covers, and if you

889
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 2: go back further in time, the publishers like EC and

890
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: many and many others, Golden Key, we're putting out these

892
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 2: my heart since I was a kid, and I were beautiful,

893
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: and I collect them and read them whenever I'm just

894
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 2: sitting around.

895
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,279

00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 3: assume you decorate heavily for Halloween heavily. Are you doing

994
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 3: the yard?

995
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 2: We do the yard. We do the animatronic creatures. I

996
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 2: do lighting effects. I have a wonderful We have a

997
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 2: wonderful attic space. We found this really incredible old home

998
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 2: in Sherman Oaks, and when we bought it, there's this big,

999
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 2: you know, spacious attict. Turned out the previous owner who

1000
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 2: had grown up in the house. One family owned this

1001
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 2: house before we bought it. They built it in nineteen fifty.

1002
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 2: He had converted the house into a pot farm oh

1003
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 2: after his parents passed away, and so the attic was

1004
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 2: one of his growing spaces.

1005
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 3: Oh amazing.

1006
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: There's all this crazy like electrical wiring stuff. But it's

1007
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 2: a big space. A lot of bees that used to

1008
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 2: be there. Now I've ethically moved the bees.

1009
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 3: To protect her, how to protect her bees.

1010
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 2: But I have this huge space. Ninety percent of it

1011
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,720
Speaker 2: is currently filled with my very well organized, boxed collection

1012
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 2: of Halloween, about ten percent Christmas decorations, and then you

1013
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 2: know whatever, the kid's.

1014
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,240
Speaker 3: Art or some crap something much less important, too.

1015
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 2: Much less important. Yes, I love to go a lot

1016
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 2: with the decoration.

1017
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 3: And are you buying new decorations every year?

1018
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: I always treat myself to something special every year. I

1019
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 2: used to you know, I've been doing this for a

1020
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 2: long time, so I used to it crew a lot

1021
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 2: of stuff that was just the cheaper. Now it's I

1022
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 2: try to focus it more. I want something very special.

1023
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: We definitely do themes. This last year's theme was Cursed Dolls.

1024
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:42,240
Speaker 2: Oh so, I have an amazing friend, Autumnho's a costume

1025
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 2: designer and she collects all manner of creepy dolls and

1026
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 2: doll parts. When I was in Berlin, I happened to

1027
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 2: come across some spooky, old, vintage antique scary dolls, one

1028
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 2: of which we think is haunted. I yeah, we did.

1029
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 2: We did the whole house. I had a gather at

1030
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 2: one point in which I I had someone dress up

1031
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 2: as one of the dolls. But people didn't know it

1032
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 2: was someone in a costume, so they just thought it

1033
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 2: was another like a giant. And then when they least

1034
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 2: expected and it would jump up and come running at them.

1035
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:16,919
Speaker 2: It was really fun.

1036
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 3: That's wonderful. And do you have any ideas, I mean,

1037
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,240
Speaker 3: we're months away from Halloween.

1038
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 2: Oh, it's going to be the nineteen fifties. I love

1039
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 2: a double feature, like a science fiction. So did you?

1040
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 2: I didn't even I didn't even let you finish your question.

1041
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 2: It's November. First. My wife will come down and see

1042
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 2: me staring into the middle distance with this far away

1043
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 2: look in my eye, and she goes, damn it, you've

1044
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 2: already started. How did you? And I say, babe, I started,

1045
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 2: like I start even before Halloween of it all. But yes,

1046
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 2: I know next year, and I think I know the

1047
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 2: year after it.

1048
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 3: Wow, that is amazing. Right before we started recording, before

1049
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 3: you arrived, we were talking about trying to plan Halloween

1050
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 3: costumes in advance and how difficult that is. Okay, pushing

1051
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 3: it aside until the very last minute and then the panic.

1052
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 2: May June is a good time to start brainstorming. But

1053
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 2: it's never too late. Here's the thing, It's never ever

1054
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 2: too late. You can always be creative. And I think

1055
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 2: that it's something you shouldn't stress about. You should have

1056
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 2: fun with it. This year we wanted to do. We

1057
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 2: like to do theme costume sometimes group costumes. So I

1058
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 2: did you ever see the nineteen nineties version of Van

1059
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 2: Rice's Interview with the Vampire.

1060
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 3: No, and I should, Okay, I feel like I would

1061
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 3: really enjoy it.

1062
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 2: It's a great film. Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst,

1063
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 2: and Antonio Benderas in the film. At one point, because

1064
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,720
Speaker 2: of bad things happening in the States where the story starts,

1065
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 2: Brad Pitt and Kirsten dunt flee to Europe and they

1066
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 2: wind up in France because they're looking for help. And

1067
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 2: there's another coven of vampires there who run this Grand

1068
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 2: Gugnall Theater company, and it's run by Antonio Benderas. He

1069
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 2: plays the leader of this coven. Stephen Ray, who's an

1070
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 2: amazing actor, is kind of his lithario henchman right hand

1071
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 2: looks a lot like the design of Long Cheney in

1072
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 2: London after midnight, if anyone's familiar with that, with the

1073
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 2: row of razor teeth in the top hat horrifying and

1074
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 2: in this really horrifying scene, it's just so dark. The

1075
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,760
Speaker 2: two vampires are sitting in an audience of humans watching

1076
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 2: this stage play and the audience is uncomfortable, but no

1077
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 2: one believes it's actually real that the vampires are killing

1078
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:34,479
Speaker 2: this woman on stage, which they are. This woman comes

1079
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 2: running out onto the stage in this beautiful white dress.

1080
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 2: She's blonde, she's beautiful. She looks like Bo Derek and

Speaker 2: Incredible, incredible, incredible, three.

1212
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 3: Kind of legends in their own ways. So I'm curious

1213
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 3: what you're gonna do with all of this.

1214
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 2: Well, Viola Davis is one of my heroes statistically and personally. Yeah,

1215
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 2: she is somebody I I've had the opportunity to work

1216
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 2: with a few times. Because I first met her on

1217
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 2: the set of Prisoners Villa new film, which I'd never

1218
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd been on one big film before that,

1219
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 2: the Dark Knight, that was a brief, you know, experience.

1220
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 2: And then when I was on Prisoners, all of a sudden,

1221
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 2: I was I was there. I was in Georgia, and

1222
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 2: it was all these movie stars, all of whom were

1223
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 2: very cool and wonderful. But I say it was Viola

1224
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 2: Davis who was the first one that really like connected

1225
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 2: with me. And she and I were sitting in little

1226
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 2: chairs and just talking all night, and she was telling

1227
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 2: me some amazing stories, and I wish I could, off

1228
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 2: the top of my head remember where it was, what

1229
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 2: cities she grew up. And I believe she grew up

1230
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 2: and wrote Island. I could be wrong about that, but

1231
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 2: I believe she grew up in Rhode Island. I'm going

1232
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 2: to go ahead and say the key to the city

1233
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 2: because I feel like the key of the city is

1234
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 2: something you give someone who's a hero, right and somebody

1235
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 2: she inspired people in many ways. I want to give

1236
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 2: Viola the key to the city of the town that

1237
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 2: she grew up in. If she hasn't already gotten it,

1238
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,479
Speaker 2: maybe she's so you know what, I'm gonna say, let's

1239
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 2: give her the key to Los Angeles, the key to

1240
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 2: this city, because she really is every day, every every

1241
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 2: project she does, every time I see her speak, every

1242
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 2: way she uses her platform. I feel like she's just

1243
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: so inspiring.

1244
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 3: She truly does it all.

1245
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 2: I want young people to There's some people that are

1246
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 2: celebrities that are just wonderful at acting and they don't

1247
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 2: need to, you know, go beyond that, but she does.

1248
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 2: She really like props people up. I feel like she's

1249
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 2: brought a lot of amazing artists into our line of

1250
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 2: sight because she uses her plat form to like promote

1251
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 2: great you know, creators. So yeah, so Viola gets the

1252
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 2: key to the city.

1253
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 3: And what do you have any idea what the key

1254
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 3: to the city does? Does that anybody?

1255
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? If you have the key, it's it's a big

1256
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 2: gold key. It's like something you could get at party city.

1257
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 2: It's not real gold. They paint it though, to look

1258
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 2: like that. And if you want at any time, if

1259
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 2: you're one who possesses the key to the city, you

1260
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 2: go to town hall or city hall, depending on what

1261
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 2: they like to call it. And you're a part of

1262
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 2: the country, you go to city hall. There's a room,

1263
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 2: and this room is only for those who've been given

1264
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 2: the key. You go in the room, there's a secret knock.

1265
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 2: You take your key out, you put it in a lock,

1266
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 2: you open the lock. Inside of there there is basically

1267
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 2: it's like one of those gifting suites at the Oscars.

1268
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 2: They've got hot hands, they've got Eggi's, they've got prevailed

1269
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 2: new fit daily briefs, They've got basically anything you can

1270
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 2: dream of, and you just get it. You take it.

1271
01:01:58,160 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 3: I mean, what a power.

1272
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 2: And there's no there's no like, oh, I've taken too

1273
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 2: much that I feel guilty.

1274
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 3: No, you take for it.

1275
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 2: You want four of those, they're yours.

1276
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 3: Take a lifetime supply of the.

1277
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's an Oreo cookie dunkin kit that only the

1278
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 2: most elite are allowed. So there's what you get. I

1279
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 2: thought the military secrets, which really are hard to come

1280
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 2: by anymore. Apparently I made a donation, got to go

1281
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 2: to a dinner at this really luxurious club in Florida.

1282
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:34,439
Speaker 2: It was crazy. Two for a dollar, I would say,

1283
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 2: did you say it was Edie Falca Falco? Yeah, Well,

1284
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 2: because she knew how to keep all the secrets on

1285
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 2: the soprano sopranos. Oh yeah, of course spent years learning

1286
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 2: as an actor, because I believe she's one of those

1287
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 2: actors that doesn't just surface to it. I mean, she's

1288
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 2: another inspiration for me. Is genuinely saying this as an artist.

1289
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 2: As an actor, I've never seen that woman deliver a

1290
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 2: false note. Like she shows up and you know how

1291
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 2: much she puts in to the world, and it's it's incredible.

1292
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 2: She's so great. So I think she probably spent a

1293
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 2: lot of time thinking about what it's like to be

1294
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 2: a mob boss's spouse and the secret keeping and all

1295
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 2: of that. So I feel like she's the person that's

1296
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 2: used to it. Yeah, and for Bono, gotta love Bono.

1297
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 2: Interesting sidebar, Are we all on the same page here?

1298
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 2: It's like you two. Never has there been a band

1299
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 2: that goes so in and out and in and out

1300
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 2: like they do. I mean, there's been times in my

1301
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 2: life where I had every one of their CDs on

1302
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:35,439
Speaker 2: the dashboard of my Chevy Celebrity driving around Kansas City.

1303
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 2: There's times when I would have hidden those CDs in

1304
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 2: a box in the farthest place under my bed, but

1305
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 2: yet they still come back. And he's a guy who's

1306
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 2: used his platform in all seriousness, in a wonderful way.

1307
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 2: I would like to give him this special, mystical, magical

1308
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 2: map because I know he's finally gonna find his way

1309
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 2: to the place where.

1310
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 3: Come on, this is incredible going there. Streets have no name.

1311
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 3: Name the streets I have absolutely no, you can't find them.

1312
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 3: He's been looking.

1313
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 2: He's been looking a long time.

1314
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 3: Wait is that a YouTube song as well?

1315
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 2: I still a long time? So I'm found what I'm

1316
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 2: looking what I'm looking for? Yeah, I think they may

1317
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 2: be all one and the same.

1318
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 3: Oh is that the same song?

1319
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1320
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 3: We're really showing are you two ignorance? So this is shameful,

1321
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 3: but I mean how beautifully played. You really landed that

1322
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 3: plane in a gorgeous.

1323
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 2: Way, effortless. H really.

1324
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 3: This is the final segment of the podcast. We're in

1325
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 3: our thirty four and so we're gonna wrap somebody called

01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 2: They're speeding over here as we speak. They've got stop

1328
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 2: watches in hand.

1329
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 3: The driver is sweating in traffic. This is the final

1330
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 3: segment of the podcast. It's called I said no emails.

1331
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 3: People write into I said no gifts at gmail dot com.

1332
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 3: I mean their circumstances are pathetic, They're desperate, they need help.

1333
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 3: I'm a charitable person. I assume you've got a little

1334
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 3: room in your heart to help. Give, give and give it.

1335
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 2: I keep giving, and I give so much I have

1336
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 2: to just slap myself and say, stop it. Stop.

1337
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 3: Well, let's answer a listener question.

1338
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 2: Let's do it this year for you.

1339
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 3: It says highbridger and honorable. Guess that's a nice thing

1340
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 3: to say. I could use some gift advice. A brief background,

1341
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 3: my friend of ten years and I are just patching. Ooh,

1342
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 3: are just patching up our friendship after a little misunderstanding

1343
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 3: and several months of not speaking. I really value her

1344
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 3: friendship and want a gift that says I'm sorry I've

1345
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 3: missed you, and also to celebrate her graduation. She's an

1346
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 3: excellent gift giver, and I often feel my gifts pale

1347
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 3: in comparison. It's just not my loved language. And also

1348
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 3: we have quite a bit less money than she does.

1349
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 3: I often feel guilty for being on the receiving end

1350
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 3: of her generosity and not feeling like I reciprocate adequately help.

1351
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 3: She likes food, cooking, and animals, has a dog, cats,

1352
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 3: foster kittens, and a backyard of poultry. Love Hannah. Okay,

1353
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 3: so backyard of poultry. What are we talking? Do we

1354
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 3: call a live bird poultry?

1355
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I'm.

1356
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 3: Imagining chicken breasts everywhere.

1357
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 2: Everywhere all of the Hey, egg shortage Hannah's friend. This

1358
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 2: is why the podcast she was stealing her friend's eggs

1359
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 2: and not getting permission house. They say there's.

1360
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 3: A Hannah in this woman is an egg thief. I mean,

1361
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 3: months of not speaking after a little misunderstanding, what.

1362
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 2: Do you think? I want to defer to you. You're

1363
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 2: the expert here. I want to hear your thoughts first.

1364
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 3: I mean, the situation is so unclear to me because

1365
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 3: we hear little misunderstanding, but then several months of not speaking,

1366
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 3: that feels like a big misunderstanding to me.

1367
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 2: Over her foot or something.

1368
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we have to assume her friend was in

1369
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 3: the hospital, hospitalized for months, very possibly comatose. Maybe that's

1370
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 3: why they weren't speaking.

1371
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 2: He just woke up, she can bear, and I remember,

1372
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 2: away from my egg heist, I accidentally ran over her foot,

1373
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 2: sending her into a coma. Mean she woke up and

1374
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 2: she do cute d amnesia.

1375
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 3: So I feel like Hannah's got a diakeadvantage of this situation.

1376
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 3: For all we know, the friend doesn't remember what happened.

1377
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 3: Sure she's ready.

1378
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 2: A good friend would never wouldn't they a good.

1379
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 3: Friend behind them, put it behind them and be ready

1380
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 3: to mend the fence. So Hannah shows up to the

1381
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 3: hospital huge gift basket. We know the friend likes cooking

1382
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 3: and animals, so maybe there's a mix of like her

1383
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 3: favorite snacks or favorite treats, and then some sort of

1384
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 3: live animal.

1385
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 2: A live animal?

1386
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 3: What sort of animal fits in a basket?

1387
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 2: Like like like, I mean, are we talking about like

1388
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 2: a chinchilla. You can get a chinchilla these days at Petco.

1389
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 2: And I know you're with the height on the funds, Hannah,

1390
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 2: but I swear I saw sale the other day. They

1391
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 2: had some chinchillas that seemed like they were on their

1392
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 2: way up. Is like buy one, get one free maybe

1393
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 2: or fifty percent off at Chinchilla. Chinchillas are cuddly. That's

1394
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 2: a good gift.

1395
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 3: When a pet goes on sale, that's a pretty heartbreaking.

1396
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 3: That feels bad, but you've got to take advantage of savings.

1397
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 3: When you see that you do.

1398
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 2: It's a tough time. We're heading into this recession. You

1399
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 2: need to save as you can. I don't know, I

1400
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 2: mean giving someone a gift that's a pet, that's a

1401
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 2: big if you know her well, Hannah, honestly, I mean

1402
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 2: the fact that your friend loves food. The friend friend

1403
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 2: loves does she love cooking?

1404
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 3: Cooking and food, Well, they go hand in hand. I

1405
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 3: suppose I'm.

1406
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 2: Not gonna I don't think I'm gonna surprise anybody here

1407
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 2: when I say the eggy is truly one of the

1408
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 2: best things to give somebody who cares about cooking. If

1409
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 2: you want a hard boiled egg without the shell, which

1410
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 2: who doesn't your friend, the fact that she's into poultry,

1411
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 2: she's got a backyard full of fowl or you know,

1412
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 2: raw fowl mood. But now her coming out of it,

1413
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 2: you're gonna brighten her spirits, love her feathers, and you know.

1414
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 3: Every serious chef knows you've got to have an eggy

1415
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 3: in the cupboard.

1416
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 2: Eggies for days. But I'm happy that you guys are

1417
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 2: you know, are talking again. I've had that happen. I've

1418
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 2: had friendships that that that were kind of on the

1419
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 2: ropes for a bit.

1420
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 3: Well, you're a you have a lot, you get into

1421
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 3: a lot of fights. You're you're a pretty contentious person.

1422
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 2: Note twelve. Remember always win fights with friends, and if

1423
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 2: you don't, make sure to get to the trades first

1424
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 2: to let them know you did.

1425
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 3: I mean the notes on this episode you have you've

1426
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:35,640
Speaker 3: in partially.

1427
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 2: Started my own podcast. I know you.

1428
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:38,719
Speaker 3: Should be some sort of life code.

1429
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 2: I want to do a podcast. It's called Please Bring Gifts.

1430
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 3: And the person shows up every time empty hand, and

1431
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 3: so you desperately give advice to fill the air.

1432
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 2: Speak ill of them on the public airwaves. No, I

1433
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 2: wish you luck, Hannah. I hope your friend, uh, I

1434
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 2: hope you get you know, cookwaar is always nice.

1435
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 3: Cook war is good. I love a good and a

1436
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:04,600
Speaker 3: nice pot. What a you know? A meat thermometer?

1437
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 2: You're a meat thermometer is one of the very important

1438
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 2: and they're always kind of you know, they're always coming

1439
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 2: up with new bells and whistles on a meat thermometer.

1440
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 2: I think that you know the time with you is

1441
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 2: important and if you are up for it and you

1442
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 2: want to actually put in the efforts, since you're low

1443
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 2: on funds and show her how much you care about

1444
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 2: this friendship. Maybe do the research and practice a couple

1445
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 2: of times and put together a meal from a recipe

1446
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 2: that you could prepare and have her over and make

1447
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 2: your dining room look like a little restaurant, put the

1448
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 2: candles out, you do the whole thing. And and that

1449
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 2: says to her, you know, I love you and I

1450
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 2: miss you, and I'm glad we're friends again.

1451
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 3: Lovely, and also you're setting her up for another fight,

1452
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,679
Speaker 3: as the friend kind of snobbily says, well, you tried

1453
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 3: your best. You tried your best, and then we're back

1454
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 3: into the cycle that Hanna and her friend have probably

1455
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 3: been in for decades.

1456
01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 2: And the friend says, did the recipe call for that much?

1457
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 3: Cuman, We answered that question so perfectly.

1458
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, these eggs, these hard boiled eggs, have shells.

1459
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 3: And for just eating them straight out of.

1460
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 2: Zipped over to the good will, Hannah, you could have

1461
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 2: saved this friendship forever.

1462
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 3: I'm glad we're getting Hannah back into the toxic cycle

1463
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 3: with her friend. That's obviously what it's built on. And

1464
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 3: she can't complain. She's got to be happy, she wrote

1465
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 3: into the podcast, no complaints. David I am so happy.

1466

01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,680

Speaker 3: We set up the opportunity and you you went for it.

1469
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,599

Speaker 3: I'm so happy. I've had such a great time with you.
