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: When you're a guest to my home, you gotta come

3
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: to me empty. And I said, no, guests, you're o

4
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff, So

5
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: how did you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: Welcome to? I said, no gift south a podcast where

7
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: I haven't received a boat, I haven't gotten a new car.

8
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: I'm not getting any of these things that I'm kind

9
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: of dreaming of yet I'm bridge of wininger. Why am

10
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: I starting a podcast this way? There's never any telling

11
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: how I'm going to start the podcast, and we're going

12
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: to avoid talking about flooding or rain. It is going

13
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: to rain tomorrow. That may be driving some of my

14
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: anxiety as my home just continues to flood and flood

15
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: and flood. Let's let's get into the podcast. Today's guest

16
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: is so wonderful. It's Alison Rosen. Alice, So welcome to,

17
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: I said, Nokia.

18
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: I'm so excited to be here. I campaigned to be

19
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 3: a guest. I all but stalked you. I made little

20
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: passive aggressive jokes. I think I said that I was

21
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: in your bushes outside waiting for my formal invitation. I

22
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: grinded a ground. You've got to put it in the household.

23
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 4: That's right.

24
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: I was a boss, girl, babe, girl, boss, bitch. I

25
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: don't know what I was all those things and here

26
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: I am and it has come true. And you mentioned

27
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: not talking about flooding. And there's a fountain that is

28
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: it's very it's nice, and it's serene. But I'm wondering,

29
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: is it making you nervous.

30
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: The sound of any water at this point? I am

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: not kidding. I'm not exaggerating.

32
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: I haven't showered in I smell horrible.

33
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: I'm covered in grease. No. Really, when it begins rating,

34
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: my body is just as tense until it stops.

35
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: Okay.

36
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: I go to bed at night just thinking, well, the

37
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: water is going to be coming, and there's nothing I

38
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: can do. Just try to get some level of rest

39
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 2: because the anxiety will begin the moment you wake up.

40
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you are in sort of a hilly part.

41
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: I don't want to give away your exact coordinate.

42
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 2: No, we can name the street, we can name the

43
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: street number, whatever we want.

44
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: You are in a hilly should we name the Thomas Guide?

45
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: Thomas guides folks, So heading east.

46
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: Page eighty nine, L five. You are like, is your

47
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: house gonna roll down the street? What happens the waters.

48
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: The house to roll down the street at this point?

49
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: Like what I mean? That would may be the only

50
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: solution is for it to just completely collapse, right because

51
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: I mean, we've tried three sides of the place that

52
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: are flooding. There's one remaining wall that I must be

53
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: the problem. Of course, the guy that's supposed to be

54
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: fixing it, was supposed to be here yesterday, did not show.

55
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: He washed away, I hope. So there's got to be

56
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: a good excuse there, because I've had he may show

57
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: up mid podcast. Just prepare yourself for a bonus guest.

58
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: I love it.

59
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: A cameo, a cameo, and then there'll be me running

60
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: around with him telling him my theories of flooding. I've

61
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: been digging. I've been putting my hands through all sorts

62
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: of dirt looking for holes in the house. I've become

63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: a little detective your house. You have kind of a

64
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: back thing. I'm so sorry to the listener. We talk

65
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: about rain all the time, but I'm curious about your rain.

66
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: Is my termites?

67
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: Tell me about your termites? Okay, my mind off of one.

68
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: I love it because my liststeners are tired of hearing

69
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: about termites, So now your listeners can grow tired.

70
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: Being destroyed.

71
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: I know this is a very California. It's a very

72
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: California twenty twenty three situation podcast Cliff of the End

73
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: of the World exaggeration exactly.

74
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 4: It's pre apocalyptic.

75
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: Okay, so maybe two to three years ago I saw termite.

76
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 4: Have you ever had termites?

77
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: No, I mean that that'll be next Let's be honest.

78
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: Probably they're just waiting for the to dry out and

79
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 2: then they're going to move in.

80
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: So the way you know you have termites, or at

81
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: least I believe drywood termites, I too, have become a

82
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: bit of a detective. Is you see tiny it almost

83
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 3: looks like pepper, but tiny little pieces of wood, which

84
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: is termite poop, which sounds gross, but it's really they

85
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: just like eat wood and then poop it out, so

86
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: it's tiny.

87
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 4: Little bits of wood.

88
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't have to be black, like, if they're

89
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: eating wood that is painted black, then it'll be black.

90
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: If they're eating white wood, it'll be white.

91
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: It's just kind of a fun.

92
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: Tiny, tiny tenC tiny little pellets of tiny though, so

93
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 3: I saw that in my studio, which is what you

94
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: were referring to, like a little back house which I

95
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: uses my podcast studio at our. It's not a bad

96
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: back house. Makes it sound like majestic and like a

97
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 3: guest house.

98
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: It's like it's got at least ten bedrooms, be honest.

99
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 3: Right, it does take up two zip codes, but I'm

100
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: telling you it's humble. It's a humble abode situation. So

101
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: it does have a ten car garage.

102
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: The only thing that says it apart is its separate pool,

103
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: you know, right, average home.

104
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 3: Right, So anyway, I saw that and we called someone

105
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 3: out and they're like, yeah, you you do need a

106
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 3: tent for termites. And it's going to be thousands upon

107
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: thous and even though I do have a ten car garage,

108
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: multiple swimming pools, multiple zip codes, it's time to tighten

109
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: the belt. And I said, I'm not gonna. I don't

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: want to spend thousands of dollars. But also it's the inconvenience.

111
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: Of course of you have to leave. You have to

112
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: leave even your own home.

113
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 3: You have to leave your own yes, right, Because they're like,

114
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: we can't guarantee that gas or whatever they use from

115
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 3: We can't guarantee the cyclon B from the back studio

116
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: isn't going to like sneak into your house, right, But

117
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 3: I I am questioning this thing of like they can't

118
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: guarantee that it won't like sneak in through your electrical lines.

119
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 4: I don't know.

120
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: So anyway, you have to leave and then but you

121
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 3: also have to like leave your house so the people

122
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 3: get in. It just seems very daunting. And you also

123
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: have to like get rid of or tie up all

124
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 3: your food, all your toiletries, all your I mean, it's

125
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 3: it's like moving this I should just move. So I said,

126
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: this is insane. I'm going to solve this problem myself,

127
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 3: and I just sprayed insecticide in like in various spots,

128
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: and then the problem went away.

129
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: It went away. You did solve the problem, well.

130
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 4: For a while.

131
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: I did. How long a couple of years? Oh wow,

132
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: that's a year. I mean maybe speaking of side hustles,

133
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: that was an extermination.

134
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean that was the tenor of my over

135
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: discussing it on the podcast. Was me just heralding my

136
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: do it myself, miss because they said you can't do

137
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 3: it yourself and not. I sure did, and then the

138
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: problem was gone. I was documenting various other insects I

139
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: would occasionally see, had a bit of a millipede problem

140
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: that confused everyone.

141
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 4: It turned out I had received a tree. Talk about

142
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: saying no gifts.

143
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: That's right, I had received a millip I should have

144
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: been I should have realized when they said here's a

145
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: millipede tree that that might be the source of them.

146
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: So anyway, what does a millipede I meaned.

147
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: Is like it's like the length of like half of

148
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: your pinky, and it's like a tiny little worm.

149
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: Bigger than a centipede or smaller.

150
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: It's narrower because wait, a centipede is like a worm

151
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: with a bunch of little legs.

152
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: Got all the legs, and apparently they can bite. Can

153
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: they bite? I don't know. I've never been bitten by

154
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: one a millipede.

155
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: It's really like inoffensive in terms of things you'd find.

156
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: But I just was freaked out by finding them in

157
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: my bathroom. I mean it really traveled far from the tree.

158
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

159
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: So anyway, long story short, flash forward to I don't

160
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 3: know six months ago, when I still have done nothing

161
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: about it. But not only was I finding termite poop,

162
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: but actual termites, and that means you're like moments away

163
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: from your house falling down on you.

164
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what boy.

165
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 3: And there were a lot of people, including a listener

166
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: who's an exterminator, who are like, I told you, so

167
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: you cannot tackle this yourself.

168
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: We love an expert listener, you know, when the listener

169
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: is offering their advice, and there I.

170
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: Should have listened to them, is the thing. I should

171
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: have listened. So now we really need to take care

172
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: of it. But I'm like waiting until we're just going

173
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: to take a vacation or something instead of I cannot

174
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: bring myself to leave.

175
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: The house to save the house.

176
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no, it's just too especially, I mean,

177
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: what really is the worst case scenario? I mean, how

178
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: long can they go for before the house is actually destroyed?

179
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: I mean, in the course of my research into termites,

180
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: I did learn that like they can destroy or eat

181
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: through this much cubic feet of wood in like years.

182
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 2: Though.

183
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a slow moving problem.

184
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: It's like someone saying and apologies because it's probably offensive.

185
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: It's like someone saying you have cancer, but don't worry.

186
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: It's a really slow moving one right, and then you,

187
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 3: if you're me, are like, great, I will stick my

188
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: hand head in the sand and I'll wait until i'm

189
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: yes exactly. So I think what happens is eventually it

190
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: they do so much structural damage that just tenting won't

191
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 3: solve the problem.

192
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: I don't really building. I mean, could you? Is it

193
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: an option to just go to home depot and buy

194
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: some wood and take it back there and say, boys

195
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: take care of it and just feed them? Is that not?

196
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 4: Why had I not considered that? I think that I

197
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 4: do not considered that.

198
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: Right.

199
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: It's like getting a scratching post for a cat exactly,

200
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 3: an eating two by four for the termites, right, because

201
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 3: they're eating old.

202
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: Wood, fresh fresh off the block.

203
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: We should also find out, like what else they like?

204
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 3: We have drafted you into my problem.

205
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: I'm happy to jump in off.

206
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: With tupperware and we'll put it under your your drips

207
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 3: or whatever, and then you can tell me what you flect.

208
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 4: Should we get a salt lick?

209
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 3: What do they like? Oh?

210
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: Salt makes sense? I mean, are dear the only thing

211
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: that like a salt lick?

212
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 4: Rabbits?

213
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: Rabbits like salt lick?

214
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 4: Yes, I had a pet rabbit, and we gave it

215
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 4: a little spool of.

216
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: Oh that's so it would just sit there and lick

217
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: at it. Yeah, I feel like I could get into

218
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 2: a salt lick.

219
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: I love salt, yes, although it's not very yes andy

220
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: of me, but I feel like, yes, everyone loves salt.

221
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: But just a straight up salt lick. Doesn't that sound

222
00:10:59,000 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: a little much?

223
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm snacking by the TV. I've got my

224
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: salt lick.

225
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: You need some other things.

226
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: I've got a sweet drink with RTE exactly. But it

227
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: seems like a nice evening wind down, just you and

228
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: your salt lick.

229
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: What if you had you know, remember fun dip which

230
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 3: had that lick a stick? Of course, what if you

231
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 3: had something like that but it was a So you

232
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: have your.

233
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: Sweet oh I like, I like for this is and

234
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: then you.

235
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 3: Have your salt lick that you're dipping into like guacamole.

236
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 4: Oh interestala.

237
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: Now what I thought you were going to propose is

238
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: you had a little stick and then a bag of salt,

239
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: which you would dip the stick into it then lick

240
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: the salt off.

241
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: Of That is an even better idea.

242
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: Great for blood pressure and the sort of thing Yes,

243
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: that little stick they would give you in the what

244
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: is it called the liquor fun dip. That thing tasted terrible.

245
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: The actual stick was like a root beer flavor something.

246
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: It made no sense with the thing they were giving I.

247
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: Thought it was like just almost like unflavored sugar stick

248
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 3: that didn't taste very good.

249
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure they gave it a flavor. And it

250
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: looked like a piece of chalk. Yes, speaking of chalk

251
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: and bugs, have you ever used the magic ant chalk

252
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: to take care of ants?

253
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 5: No?

254
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: But I have a real fear of ants. Tell me everything, please.

255
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 2: Well, it's essentially illegal, so that's the first thing you

256
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: need to know. You kind of have to go to

257
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: like plant stores or whatever, and almost whisper to the

258
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: person at the cash register, do you have any magic

259
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: ant chalk?

260
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: Like exchanging an egg in nine two one?

261
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: Oh?

262
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: Wait? Exchanging?

263
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 3: Oh do you not know about this?

264
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 2: Okay?

265
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: Sorry, I want to get back to the magic ant

266
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: chalk though, because it's more important. Okay, but I will

267
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: risk some kind of criminal charge being brought against me

268
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: to have some kind of chalk that works on my

269
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 3: greatest foe ants. So did you watch nine A two

270
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 3: one oh? No, okay, but you're aware of it.

271
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: I'm fully aware.

272
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 3: There was an episode where they were going to a rave, okay,

273
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: and the drug at the rave was euphoria, which you

274
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 3: and I know as ecstasy or E. But anyway, in

275
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: order to get directions to the rave, you had to

276
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 3: go to, I believe, a convenience store and exchange an

277
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,359
Speaker 3: egg that was like the code.

278
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: I wonder if that was based on some real life

279
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: event or if the nine oh two to one zero

280
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 2: writers just went rogue.

281
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 3: Well, I was a cool kid who never ever went

282
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: to a rave, and by that I mean I was

283
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 3: a real big dork. But I flirted with the idea

284
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: of going to them because I had a friend, Jodie,

285
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: who was She was so cool that she left school

286
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 3: because she got pregnant and went to like Finish and

287
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: an Alternatives.

288
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: Like she was too she was doing it all.

289
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: She was too cool for regular public school. And she

290
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 3: had a boyfriend who promoted raves. That's how cool she was.

291
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: She's the coolest she really was.

292
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 2: Jody is really a name of the cool friend who

293
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: goes to a rave.

294
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 4: Of course.

295
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, but anyway, she and I would sometimes help her

296
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 3: cool boyfriend pass out flyers, and in this I mean

297
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 3: there was this is pre internet, so you would just

298
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: like go to where a concert was and then walk

299
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: around the parking lot putting Rave flyers under the wind

300
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 3: show wiper. I later played in a band and I

301
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: hated flying, and I was like, I refuse to believe

302
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 3: this makes any difference whatsoever at all. Uh, But at

303
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: this point I just wanted to be near the cool stuff.

304
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: So and in my mind, every time I say cool.

305
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: It's k E W L of course on the same

306
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: page with you.

307
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: So I like knew of Raves and things, and I

308
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: like found out about them, and I knew that if

309
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 3: you do ecstasy.

310
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 4: Your back could hurt the next day.

311
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: And I was trying to come up with, like, what's

312
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: my story because my parents would not have been down

313
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: with any part of this, so I had to cope

314
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 3: with a cover story. But then I just ultimately was

315
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: too afraid. But I do think the deal with Raves

316
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 3: was even though we were putting the oh no, you

317
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 3: know what, sorry, we were putting the flyer that had

318
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: the like rave graphic and the info, but there was

319
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: a phone number you would call to get the directions

320
00:14:59,400 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: to go.

321
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: To payphone or something I don't know, a mysterious phone number.

322
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 3: Yes, so I think there was some skullduggery that had

323
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: to happen to get the address of it because it

324
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: was an illegal, illegal thing.

325
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: I love this.

326
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so exchanging an egg is kind of potentially true ish.

327
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,359
Speaker 2: Right, and so whimsical, isn't it. The Internet has ruined mystery.

328
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: It has taken all of this thrill. You're getting a

329
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: piece of paper on your windshield and suddenly you're in

330
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: the middle of a warehouse.

331
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: I mean, back in the day, if you met someone,

332
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: you couldn't find out everything about that.

333
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: No, and you may never see them again.

334
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 4: No, it's a true misconnection. Yes, so will you tell

335
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 4: me about this.

336
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: An It's incredible. We had ants, you know, in the yard,

337
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: a few in the house. You get the ant shock,

338
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: you mark just a small line where they are. They

339
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: become immediately confused as to where they are. That it

340
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: breaks up the line of ants and they kind of

341
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: just vanish. They don't know where to go because I

342
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: think they rely on sense of small Well probably.

343
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 4: Yes, there's some kind of chemical communication, right.

344
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: And this totally devastates that which sounds terrible but answer terrible. Yeah,

345
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: it's a pist. What are we talking about. It's a

346
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: horrible little bug. But you put it, they disappear forever,

347
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: they go away. They just say, this is not our place,

348
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: This isn't where we can be productive.

349
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

350
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: It really feels like magic.

351
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: But why is it illegal?

352
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: Well? Probably because it's giving me cancer?

353
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: Wow, along with the other slow growing cancer you have.

354
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I really, I mean it must have some horrible

355
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: chemical in it.

356
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: I think it's not an insecticide. It's somehow worse.

357
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: It's probably worse. I mean, now that we're saying it,

358
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: I mean maybe listeners gonna are going to write in screaming.

359
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to stop it. I do use

360
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: gloves while you using.

361
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 4: You have of this.

362
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: It's gone now. And I tried to go back to

363
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: get more and the person store.

364
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 4: The store was gone.

365
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: The building didn't exist. It was an empty lot on alease.

366
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 5: I did find some information about please. It does say

367
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 5: while the active ingredients are legal in the United States,

368
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 5: the chalk itself is not legal there. Labeling often falsely

369
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 5: claims the chalk is harmless to human beings and animals

370
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 5: and safe to use, but chalks have been found to

371
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 5: cause serious health problems and death.

372
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 4: So you understand why I had interrupt you.

373
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I don't want you to die.

374
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 4: Wait, death in humans?

375
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that must be like through eating it, right,

376
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: you put it accidentally, put it in the fun dip

377
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 2: or I can't imagine, just like a little pinch of it.

378
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm living here. Look, I'm here. I'm here

379
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: to say, unless you swallow it, go for it. I mean,

380
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 2: I'd rather die than have ants in my home.

381
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 4: I have met so many people because I do.

382
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: I have a problem with talking about insects like in

383
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: life and on my show because and it's a problem

384
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 3: because no one wants to hear about it, and so

385
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 3: I brought it to your show.

386
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.

387
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: Now it makes for great audio.

388
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 3: I mean I think so because I become undone when

389
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,239
Speaker 3: I see a couple of ants in my kitchen. I

390
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 3: have like tried to institute a like you guys, and

391
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 3: no one eats food in the kitchen anymore because the

392
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 3: ants are they're smelling it and they're coming. And then

393
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: that doesn't go over well because it's like, well, but

394
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: the kitchen is where you prepare food.

395
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 4: We need to.

396
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: Making food in the bedroom.

397
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 4: Oh, my God, exactly.

398
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I see a couple of ants, and I

399
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: just can become completely undone because I don't I don't

400
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 3: exactly know why. I feel like I'm being invaded. I'm

401
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: worried they're gonna like climb up my butt when I'm asleep,

402
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 3: and I assume that must be what I'm afraid of.

403
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: That's where they're headed.

404
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 4: I think.

405
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: So that's that's a five year plan for an ant.

406
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 3: At least they have goals. So I've I've heard so

407
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 3: many people who are like, I mean, sure I don't

408
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 3: like them, but like it's not a huge deal.

409
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 4: I'm like, what is that?

410
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: Like?

411
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 3: I cannot imagine being that sanguine about it?

412
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: And so do you think that's kind of your number

413
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 2: one fear?

414
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 3: Well, okay, it's funny you say this because I was

415
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 3: listening to your episode with Betsy Siddaro, whom I love,

416
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: and you were talking about fear of clowns. How there's

417
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: three kinds of people. People who are genuinely afraid, yes,

418
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 3: people who are not at all afraid, and then the

419
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 3: people who claim to be afraid for clout for clout.

420
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 4: And it made me do some soul searching because I

421
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 4: are you.

422
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 3: I mean, what's the point of of you know, what

423
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: am I preserving anymore? I'm going to tell you. Upon

424
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: hearing that, I was like, oh my god, I think

425
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 3: I might be the third I think I might be

426
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 3: a big fat phony.

427
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: Well at least you're claiming it, you know.

428
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well I and I've never consciously been like I'm

429
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: gonna go in there and I'm gonna tell them I'm

430
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: afraid of clowns and then reap the rewards.

431
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 4: I've never done it like that.

432
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 3: But the thing is, when I was a kid, I

433
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 3: was genuinely afraid. For my sixth birthday, my mom decided

434
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 3: to surprise me. And I have a six year old.

435
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 3: It's like a terrible age to do any sort.

436
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 2: Of secy everything, Santa Claus everything.

437
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 3: Normally, my husband picks up my son from school, but

438
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: yesterday I was with him, so I went in to

439
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 3: pick him up, and my son almost cried in the

440
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 3: car because he didn't want me to pick him up

441
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 3: anymore because he was expecting.

442
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: Daddy's six years old.

443
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 3: That's how much they like things to be as expected.

444
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: So six years old, it's my birthday party. I'm excited,

445
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 3: and then suddenly this freak with yarn hair make up

446
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: in big floppy shoes named Jojo is in our house

447
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 3: and we have pictures of like Jojo doing his little

448
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: clown show for the kids who are seated, And I'm

449
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: in the corner with this tears going now face. So

450
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 3: I do not like clowns. I don't like that you

451
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 3: can't really tell, like if they mean you harm, They're

452
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 3: just I find them scary in general, and I've carried

453
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 3: that with me. However, if I were to it to

454
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 3: really think about it, am I truly afraid of a

455
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: clown right now? As long as it's not like a

456
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: clown with a knife who's trying to hurt me. No, Like,

457
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 3: if there's a clown you guys mentioned, but if there

458
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: was a clown in the backyard. Again, it'd be scary

459
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 3: if anyone was just in the backyard, right But if

460
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 3: there was a clown, I think I would catch myself,

461
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 3: you know, I'd be like, what the fuck? Oh? Okay,

462
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 3: So I don't know that I'm really afraid anymore.

463
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm glad you're owning up to that. I mean,

464
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: if you woke up in the middle of the night

465
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 2: and there's a clown on the ceiling. I would, of

466
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: course I would.

467
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: Be really afraid.

468
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 4: But if there was anyone on the.

469
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: Seil, what are you doing up there?

470
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: Yes, what are you staying up there? Is it through

471
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 3: some kind of sticky pads like insects have. But another thing,

472
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 3: I also have always thought that I was afraid of

473
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 3: mice because when I lived in New York, we had

474
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 3: a little mouse problem, and it was I had no

475
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 3: peace of mind during the I mean it was awful

476
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: the way I am insects.

477
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 4: Now, that's how I was about mice.

478
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: Then I apologies to all my coworkers who had to

479
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: hear it. But anyway, I brought this up on my show.

480
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 3: I had a guest, this guy RJ. City, who has

481
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: a genuine spider phobia, Like he can't if you show

482
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 3: him a clip from the Muppets where there's a spider

483
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: like a puppet spider like uppet, he's afraid of that.

484
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: He's like, truly, it's a true phobia. I cannot And

485
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: I said that I have musophobia. I think that's what

486
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 3: it's called, like a fear of mice. And he's like,

487
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: do you really have is it a genuine phobia or

488
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 3: And I was like well, like if I, you know,

489
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 3: I can watch ratituy, if I see mice in a

490
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 3: pet store, which do those even exist anymore?

491
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: I don't know the independently we've got the big box,

492
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 2: We've got a pets is a pet smart or pet Smart?

493
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: To me, it's pet Smart, But now I don't know

494
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 3: like smart about pets.

495
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 2: But they're not clear about the name of that pet smart.

496
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: It can be pet smart, pets smart. You're proposing makes

497
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: more sense, kind of like a Walmart k Mark. Yeah,

498
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 2: is it walls Mart or wall Smart? What if it's

499
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 2: wall Smart? But there's no no. I wasn't gonna correct you,

500
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 2: but there's there is that dash in between the two.

501
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 2: Maybe that takes the place of the s right like

502
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 2: a wheel a fortune type situation named this big box retailer.

503
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 3: Right right, and I'll buy an ass Oh my god,

504
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 3: what is she doing? And then I go viral. But Wallsmart.

505
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 3: I got it, It's Wallsmart. But anyway, he was like,

506
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 3: I want to suggest to you you don't have a

507
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 3: true mouse phobia. You just don't want mice in your house,

508
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 3: which is very normal. Oh my god, so I've been

509
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 3: claiming too phobia. I'm like that person that shows up

510
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 3: at a support group but like doesn't really need the sport.

511
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 2: She's taking up part time. I wonder, Yeah, but can

512
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: have just one? I mean I have a mouse and

513
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: rat phobia. I'm pretty sure. I mean I can look

514
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: at Rizzo the rat, sure, but like that's a muppet.

515
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: I can look at the muppet. I can look at

516
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: ratitwo we But in real life, the presence of a

517
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 2: rat or a mouse, I wig out.

518
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 4: What if it's in a store, in like a little

519
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 4: habitat it, I.

520
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 2: Can't look at it. Okay, the naked tail, the idea

521
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 2: of those teeth, I know, the small naked hands, everything

522
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: about it. I mean it's making me I shouldn't even

523
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 2: be describing it, making you uncomfortable, right, making me really uncomfortable?

524
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean, but do you have you done what

525
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 3: I did, which is try to figure out where is

526
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: this coming from? Because the truth is, like I like

527
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: little I like animals. If there was a bird near

528
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: me or a rabbit near me, I'm not going to

529
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: freak out certain birds maybe if they were like gonna

530
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: attack me? Right, So why are why am I so

531
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: freaked out by mice or rats?

532
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: Well? I can tell you why I'm so freaked out

533
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: by them. I had a rat, and the listeners may

534
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: know this already. I've talked about it in the past.

535
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: I had a rat first grade as a pet. It

536
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 2: escaped to live in our garage and become rabid. I mean,

537
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 2: we don't know for sure it was a rabid, but

538
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 2: it wasn't there and it was acting wild.

539
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 3: What did it do?

540
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 2: It was acting crazy, I know, but I appreciated running around.

541
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 3: There was people who would hear that and just move on,

542
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 3: but I need.

543
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: It was just running around and seeming suspicious.

544
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 3: Again, none of this is.

545
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: I didn't want to find out what this rat was capable.

546
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 2: It had moved into the garage, was behind the wood,

547
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 2: It was eating a Snickers. It was it was out

548
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: of its mind.

549
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 3: I'm not hearing anything alarming, yet, this is like what

550
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 3: a dog would do.

551
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 2: I could look the bottom line. It betrayed me, okay,

552
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: so that alone, it broke the trust. It broke the trust,

553
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 2: and I've lived with that for the rest of my life.

554
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 4: What was its name?

555
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: Splinter?

556
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 4: What was its name? It became rabid?

557
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: Who knows? Yeah, moved in a viper some like that.

558
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: But it was a scary little creature. And now I

559
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: no longer can deal with rats or mice.

560
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 3: This is such an amazing origin story because at one

561
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: point you were at one.

562
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 4: With can you imagine the rodents? Was it a good

563
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 4: pet before it took.

564
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: Off as far as I remember, But you know, it's

565
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: it's so shaded for me at this point because of

566
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: the betrayal. Irt it must have been.

567
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 3: A bad pet, right like when you divorce someone, if

568
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: you have an acrimonious divorce, you can't even look at

569
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 3: the wedding pictures anymore, right, you can't remember what it

570
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 3: was like to not feel betrayed.

571
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: Right exactly. And this was a divorce. Let's be honest.

572
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: This was simply a divorce between the rat and I.

573
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 2: I mean, look, speaking of betrayals, uncomfortable behavior, this kind

574
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 2: of thing, Alison, you begged to be on the podcast.

575
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 3: I demanded it. I wouldn't take no for an answer.

576
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 3: I mean, you tried to say no so many times

577
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 3: I was.

578
00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: I stopped answering your calls. I changed address, right, but

579
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 2: you made it through. No, you were going to be

580
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: on at some point.

581
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 3: But I mean that's what you say, but you start bring.

582
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: Gas on the fire. And sped up the process.

583
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 3: I mean, so so annoying.

584
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: But you clearly knew what the podcast was. It's called

585
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 2: I said no.

586
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 3: Gifts, right, Well, I don't respect boundaries obviously obviously.

587
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: I mean clearly, you show up today, you're holding what's

588
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 2: obviously a gift. It's for me. You handed it to me,

589
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: not to analis. No, you didn't just leave it in

590
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: the car. This is for me, that's right.

591
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 4: It was my way of saying F you.

592
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: And I am feeling f't as h right now?

593
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 3: Oh G.

594
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 2: I mean do you want me to open it here

595
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: on the podcast?

596
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 4: I think that would be appropriate.

597
00:27:45,400 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 2: Yes, fine, So we're gonna get into this is a

598
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: fun little bag. It's got some flowers on it, It's

599
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 2: got tissue in there. I feel like we haven't gotten

600
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: a crinkle on this podcast in a while. Oh, get

601
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: the crank off, crinkle, crinkle, crinkle on a Lisa probably

602
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: cut all of that, who knows. Don't want to blow

603
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 2: any speakers at home. Okay, there are two objects here.

604
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 3: Do the other one first, because the one you just

605
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 3: lifted it up is less exciting.

606
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: Okay. Oh, there's a lot of tissue here, and this

607
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: is heavier and it feels like something I could break. Yes,

608
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: so we're gonna be very careful now we're pulling. It's

609
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: wrapped in tissue. You're coming with me here, listener. Oh

610
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: my god, I love whatever this is. This is a

611
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: like a porcelain. It's a baby, it's a lady's boot.

612
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: It's beautiful. It's kind of a cream color with a

613
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: rose on it. Bobby McGhee's, what is this war I

614
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: don't even know what this is.

615
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 4: Conglomeration.

616
00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: Conglomeration established in nineteen seventy one. I have to know absolutely.

617
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: This is already in the top five objects of my

618
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: good Okay, Okay.

619
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: So there was a chain of restaurants called Bobby McGee's, okay,

620
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: and the servers dressed as characters from movies. I particularly

621
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 3: remember being served by Indiana Jones. I think there was

622
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 3: also a Princess Leah. I wish I could remember the

623
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: other servers, but it was Disney exactly. It was a

624
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 3: theme restaurant to the hilt, and I would go there

625
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: for birthday parties. I was actually before I came, I

626
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: was looking it up to see there were things that

627
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: I had forgotten about, Like there was a big salad

628
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 3: bar that was in a giant bathtub. There were different

629
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: It was a huge restaurant evidently, and there were different

630
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: rooms and each room have.

631
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 4: Like a different theme.

632
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: But it was wacky and it was zany, and they

633
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 3: served you drinks in fun, novelty glasses. So what I

634
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: remember is at the beginning, and I assume for adults

635
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 3: it was like drinks with alcohol, but for kids you

636
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 3: were offered either a strawberry daker or a strawberry banana margarita.

637
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: I might have that strawberry doerri, yes, and it was

638
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: in either the original line of glassware was it was

639
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: in a toilet, a sink, or a canoe or like abo,

640
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 3: a robot.

641
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: That seems like a horrible way to drink.

642
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: Yes, it was a very shallow thing with a little

643
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 3: straw in it. So that was the original suite of

644
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: glasses and you would take it home and it was

645
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 3: a collector's item. And then at some point they introduced

646
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: a cactus, a western man's boot or a lady's boot.

647
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: I'm on board with that theme.

648
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 3: So my sister and I had a ton of these.

649
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 3: When finally my pestering worked, I was like, I know

650
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 3: what I'm going to get Bridger. I'm going to go

651
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: into my collection of a stemware and I'm going to

652
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: find one of those and give it to him. And

653
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 3: I had plans to be at my parents' house, where

654
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 3: this collection resides, and I asked my mom and she's like,

655
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 3: I know exactly where they are. And I was like,

656
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 3: oh my god, score, because their garage is insanely I mean,

657
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 3: there could be several feral rats out there and just

658
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: tons of boxes exactly living their best lives. So we

659
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 3: went into the garage and she's like, it's in that

660
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: box and then dunt dun, duh, because she's like, this

661
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 3: is making me feel like I'm going crazy.

662
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 4: I was sure they were right there.

663
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 3: I texted my sister, and my sister said something that

664
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 3: I was not expecting. She said, I was asking her

665
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: recently about those two and we couldn't find that.

666
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 4: The boots were calling you thanks the toilets, right.

667
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: So anyway, I said, you know what, I'm not going

668
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 3: to be thwarted, and I went on to either Etsy

669
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,719
Speaker 3: or eBay. They're not the I mean, they're collector's items,

670
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: but they're I don't mean to besmirch the gift that

671
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 3: I disrespectfully gave you there. It's not like there's a

672
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 3: huge market. There're no beauty babies. You can get an

673
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 3: idea that.

674
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 4: You can get plenty of them online.

675
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: So I just went and uh, and I purchased this

676
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 3: for you because I was like, I have got to

677
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 3: give this to you.

678
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 4: It just it just felt right.

679
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: This is so in line with everything I love. I

680
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: adore the way this thing looks. I mean, it's so

681
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 2: bizarre to me. They would give you one every time

682
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: you went to the time. Yeah, that's not a sustainable

683
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 2: business model.

684
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 3: This is why they went out. Maybe that's why they

685
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: went out of business.

686
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: Wow. What sort of food was Bobby McGee's serving.

687
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: So I was trying to remember this. I'm remembering chicken strips.

688
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: Okay, it makes sense, that's.

689
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: All I'm remembering. But I know there was more. Oh

690
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 3: maybe like a spaghetti Okay. Yeah, I don't think you went.

691
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 4: There for the food.

692
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 2: You went there for the map.

693
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you went there for the whimsy. So, like I said,

694
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 3: there was two choice of drinks for kids. I don't

695
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 3: know if there was a prefix. I don't know if

696
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 3: it was a kid's menu, but I think it was

697
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: like a salad from the salad bar that I had

698
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 3: forgotten was in a giant boat, no bathtub, yes, and

699
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: then maybe chicken strips or spaghetti, and then probably a choice.

700
00:32:58,840 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: Of dessert or something.

701
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 3: Okay, but I don't know if for the adults there

702
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: was something more involved.

703
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: Oh right, that makes sense. You were you were getting

704
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 2: off the kids menu. I'm so curious about this bath

705
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: full of salad. Was it Were there little different spots

706
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: of food or was it just a bunch of wet

707
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: lettuce in a bathtub?

708
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 3: It was they had offered one kind of salad. It

709
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 3: was just a house salad. And you, I'm just and

710
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: you would jump in. No, I think it was. It's

711
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 3: like it's been wiped from my memory. I have no

712
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: memory of this salad bar, which is nuts, because I

713
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 3: often joke that if I ever strike it rich, I

714
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 3: want to have. I want my own driver, because I don't.

715
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 3: I have a terrible sense of direction, and I want

716
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 3: a salad bar in my house. COVID has threatened to

717
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 3: dampen that salad bar.

718
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 4: I don't know. Do they even have salad bars anymore?

719
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: That's a great question. I feel like they were already

720
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 2: on the brink, even pre purse.

721
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 3: I know I was because I know a lot just

722
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 3: like kind of people who are fine with ants in

723
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 3: their ractum in the middle of the night. Many people

724
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 3: are like, salad bars are so gross, and I'm like, really.

725
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 4: I think they're fine.

726
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: I love a salad bar.

727
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 3: I love a salad bar. Does Gelson's Skeltons?

728
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't put it past Gelson's. And let's be honest,

729
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: Whole Foods kind of has a salad bar.

730
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 4: Okay, they have a salad bar.

731
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 2: Plus yeah, but I kind of want the salad bar

732
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 2: to be in the restaurant kind of yes, taking up

733
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 2: space in a place where other food is being made.

734
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 3: I a'll hold space for a salad bar to take

735
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 3: up space.

736
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to be pushing a shopping cart and

737
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 2: then getting into the salad bar.

738
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 4: Right, it's not the same.

739
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 3: No, I want them to bring me an ice cold

740
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 3: plate or tell me you can head to the salad

741
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 3: bar anytime you want, and then I'm gonna grab an

742
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 3: ice cold plate out of an ice cold freezer, and

743
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: then I'm gonna make my way across thinking this is

744
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 3: so unhealthy and I don't care the ham cubes, the

745
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 3: bacon bits, the little like the matchsticks of beats.

746
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't stand a beat? Oh, really you like

747
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: a beat?

748
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 3: If I'm at a salad bar, I don't find myself

749
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 3: opting for beats often at home. My husband loves to

750
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 3: beat salad. That's like I feel like when we met,

751
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 3: that was he really like that was one of the

752
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 3: defining aspects of his personality.

753
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: He liked that he liked to beat salad.

754
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 3: Yes, and yet I went forward with it. There were

755
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 3: other things to balance it out, but like, yeah, he

756
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 3: just like will never turn down to beat salad. And

757
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 3: yet I can count on one hand the number of

758
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 3: times I've seen him eat beats.

759
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I've given beats so many chances. I've tried, you know,

760
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 2: horrible salad bar beats. I've tried an elevated beat. It

761
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: is disgusting. What is it about a beat that anyone likes?

762
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 3: To me, a beat doesn't have much flavor. It's just

763
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 3: like it's it's a rich hue, It's like a little

764
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 3: bit fancy. I think that's why my husband claims he

765
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 3: goes for the beat salad. But he and the beat

766
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 3: salads are like me and my phobias, which are you know,

767
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 3: just for class.

768
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 2: Right, just doing it as a conversation like, oh.

769
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 3: We get it, you're quirky, but like I'm not. I

770
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 3: guess I'm basic. I find beats, and I know this

771
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 3: is like just running contrary to everything you're saying. For

772
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 3: me personally, a beat is sort of inoffensive. It's got

773
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 3: kind of an interesting texture, that's about it.

774
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: Though.

775
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 3: I would never be excited about a beat alone alone

776
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 3: on a plate, not if I'm by myself. If I'm

777
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 3: with friends, I'm for sure making a lot of noise

778
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 3: about the beat because i want them to think I'm cool.

779
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 2: To be just completely alone with a beat on a plate,

780
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: it's such a.

781
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 3: Nightmare, right, But you're feeling about beats, That's how I

782
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 3: am with cucumbers. I've given them so many chances, and

783
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 3: I just can't.

784
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: I just don't like them to it, even like with

785
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: a sweet like a rice vinegar on it.

786
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 3: That's probably the best situation where the peel is taken

787
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 3: off and it's just kind of a crunchy thing that

788
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 3: doesn't taste a lot like cucumbers. Right, But just if

789
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: it really has a strong cucumber flavor, I'm out of there.

790
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 2: What would you do you compare? This is so interesting

791
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: to me because I do think cucumbers are such a

792
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: mild flavor. What would you compare the flavor of a

793
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: cucumber too if you had.

794
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 3: To obnoxious watermelon? And I also don't like watermelon. And

795
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 3: whenever I say I don't like beets, and people are

796
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 3: like not everyone, but I feel that Paula Tompkins said this,

797
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 3: I might just be dropping a name. You know, they're

798
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 3: related to the watermelon. I'm like, well, that makes sense

799
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: because I don't like either of them. Wow, there's something

800
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 3: like almost bitter about it.

801
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: Or the peel is very extremely bitter. Yes, if you

802
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: eat one with the peel, it's right awful.

803
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 3: But even the watermelon, I mean the cucumber itself. I

804
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: just I have a visceral feeling or memory about like

805
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 3: having a mouthful a cucumber and being like, I can't

806
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 3: do it.

807
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 2: I mean a mouthful of cucumber. What are we talking about?

808
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 4: I really commit.

809
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:56,479
Speaker 2: Just a big mouthful of cucumber. Interesting, Well, I guess

810
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 2: we'll just have to we each have our vegetable we

811
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: don't like to eat. I mean, I will simply eat

812
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: every other type of food, but a beat get it

813
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: out of my way.

814
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 4: But what is it you dislike about it?

815
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 2: It's like gelatinous dirt and it's sweet, Like, what about

816
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 2: that is? Why is? Why are people into that?

817
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: Gelatinous?

818
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 2: It always tastes like it just came out of a can.

819
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 2: It's never it never doesn't taste like it's been in

820
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 2: a can.

821
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 3: Right, It's got a bit of a metallic taste. Yeah,

822
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: but gelatinous. I understand. It's like a little a little wobbly,

823
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 3: but gelatinous. That's I mean, that's like something you could

824
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 3: just like tonguew to.

825
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: Just jump it gumma beat. That's kind of what they're for.

826
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 2: When you're like one hundred and fifty years old, all

827
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: of your teeth are gone. Yeah, I might maybe by

828
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: then I'll have learned to eat beach.

829
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 4: Is it a texture thing though?

830
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 2: Or is it it's the whole package.

831
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 4: How do you feel about a canned peach?

832
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 2: Don't mind it? Okay, I could get into a canned peach.

833
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like canned peach is only really

834
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: come out of a cellar when every the earth is

835
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 2: dying or something. But I could eat a can peach

836
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: canned pair. I'm not forget it, but I'm not crazy

837
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 2: about a pair. Yeah, from the beginning.

838
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,479
Speaker 3: I kind of got into pairs hardcore in the last

839
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: few months, but prior to that, I was not that

840
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 3: into it. All of a sudden, I was like that

841
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 3: Harry and David's Pair of the Month club thing.

842
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 2: I get it for you.

843
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 3: I mean I never have received it because I don't

844
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: have a podcast where I solicit presence.

845
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. I wonder I would love to be

846
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 2: on whatever podcast you're talking about.

847
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 3: But for the first time, I was like, oh, I

848
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 3: kind of understand this thing where you get like an

849
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 3: individually wrapped pair that you can eat with a spoon.

850
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 4: According to all H and.

851
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 2: D they encourage you to eat it with a spoon.

852
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 4: I think that's the whole thing.

853
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like it's so succulent you can just eat

854
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 3: it with a spoon.

855
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 2: It sounds like it's rotting or something.

856
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 3: It really does something a problem.

857
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: Well, back to Bobby McGee's themed restaurants. I just recently

858
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: read that they may be making a comeback. Where was

859
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 2: the Bobby McGee you went to?

860
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 3: It was in I believe it was in Newport Beach.

861
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, they obviously themed restaurants really cratered probably early thousands. Yes,

862
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 2: and then truly just a week ago I saw a

863
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: thing our themed restaurants headed back to Los Angeles.

864
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 4: Was where was where were you reading?

865
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: It was an eater really, which you know makes the

866
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: place I go. So everybody buckle up for themed restaurants.

867
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 3: Did it propose any kind of themes?

868
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that I clicked the I

869
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 2: should have enough.

870
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 3: I feel like I get what they were saying. Yeah,

871
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 3: people are wondering, but yeah, and they might be, But.

872
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 2: I guess I should get back into that and see

873
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: what theme could possibly be happening at this point. It

874
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 2: was Rainforest Cafe.

875
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 3: When I was a kid and into my early adulthood,

876
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 3: I would go nuts for a hard rock cafe. Oh,

877
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 3: of course, are those still around?

878
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 2: They have the hard Rock Hotel, which was an interesting

879
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 2: pivot for them, Yes, which are kind of slimy hotels.

880
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 3: I have stayed at and spent some time at, but

881
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 3: not a lot of times. The hard Rock Hotel in

882
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, which is like fine, okay, fine.

883
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they all seem to be kind of vegasy, right

884
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 2: hard Rock Hotel. There must be a few hard rock

885
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 2: cafes left on aalise is yes, where are they on

886
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 2: a guess?

887
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 3: Oh?

888
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, guess where do you think the closest the

889
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 5: closest one Madrid.

890
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:37,479
Speaker 4: Terrible?

891
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to say Hollywood. Oh really, maybe there's still

892
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: one open in Hollywood.

893
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 4: And I am going to say.

894
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Hollywood Cafe. Wait, Hollywood? Is it called

895
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: Hell Hollywood Cafe?

896
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 4: Hard Rock?

897
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 2: Why am I saying Hollywood Cafe? That's another idea though,

898
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 2: themed restaurants. Hard Rock Cafe? Okay, yep, on Elise.

899
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 4: All right.

900
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 5: The nearest hard Rock Cafe is located at sixty eight

901
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 5: oh one Hollywood Boulevard.

902
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 2: See, it's still open.

903
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 4: It's still open. I can reserve a table right now in.

904
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 2: Kind of the pit of Hell.

905
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 3: Is that like Hollywood and Vine area? Hollywood in Highland?

906
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so?

907
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: Is it in Hollywood near the Chinese Theater.

908
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 2: I think the reason I know that is because when

909
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 2: I worked at Kimmel, they taped there and I must

910
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: have seen it on occasion.

911
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 4: Why does no one ever go there?

912
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 2: Because it's the food's horrible? I think that might be

913
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 2: the first problem with the restaurant. But I always had

914
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 2: a good time there.

915
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's like we've do you ever have

916
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 3: the thing that I have where someone will pop into

917
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 3: your mind and you're like, I literally have not thought

918
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 3: of that person. Like for me, it's like this guy

919
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 3: that I had gone to college with who I wasn't

920
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 3: good friends with him, but he was like we were

921
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 3: in sort of concentric friend and groups, let's say, and

922
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 3: I saw someone at the airport that looked kind of

923
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 3: like him, and I was like, oh my god, I

924
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 3: literally have not thought of that guy in so many years.

925
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 3: That's what happened to us with hard Rock Cafe.

926
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, completely vanished from our reality. I want to go, now,

927
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 2: you should go?

928
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 3: I mean do was the food always horrible?

929
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 2: I mean I remember like eating there. One came to

930
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 2: Salt Lake City when I was probably an early teen

931
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: or something before I had kind of figured out that

932
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: food should taste good, and I remember liking it. Then.

933
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 2: I think I.

934
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 4: Returned a little lime chicken.

935
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they always had something like that, like marinated chicken

936
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 2: or whatever. I remember returning to it a little later,

937
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: maybe my college years, and thinking, well, this is bad chilies.

938
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 2: It's like chili's like they had been reheated or something.

939
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, but now that.

940
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 2: Was years ago. Maybe they reversed. Course it doesn't.

941
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 4: Sound like it.

942
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 2: I mean, who knows.

943
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 4: I do not believe there's one in Hollywood.

944
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 2: This is breaking, speaking of Hollywood, Planet Hollywood, that's completely gone, right.

945
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 2: I believe they tried to become kind of a it

946
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 2: was like Hollywood Light or something, and they were small

947
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 2: like bars, right, didn't work out?

948
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 4: Was Planet Hollywood was?

949
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 3: Was it like the hard rock Cafe of Movie Memorabilia?

950
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 2: Yes?

951
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 4: Okay, But speaking.

952
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 3: Of themed places that become bars, did you ever go

953
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 3: to Trader Vix? No?

954
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 2: What was this, oh, Trader Vix?

955
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 3: This was actually sort of a high end themed restaurant.

956
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 3: I know that sounds hard to believe. It was like

957
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 3: Polynesian theme, okay, and the original one started in San

958
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 3: Francisco I think, and then there was also one in

959
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, so they would have it was like Polynesian

960
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: Tiki themed.

961
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 4: The food, if I remember, was actually quite good.

962
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: Was it Polynesian food? Yes? But like fusion?

963
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: Oh?

964
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 2: Okay, I say no.

965
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 3: They had a Pooh Pooh platter which was no no, no, sorry,

966
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 3: they would called it.

967
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 4: It was called Cosmo Tidbits and it was like little.

968
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 3: Cos I believe, yes, yes, so yes, it was traditional polyy.

969
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 3: They had like they had ribs. They had some kind

970
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 3: of pasta that was good. I haven't been there a lot.

971
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 2: Every one of these rests stans has a pasta dish

972
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 2: and they're not Italian restaurant.

973
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 3: I know.

974
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 2: It's like the Feticini.

975
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 3: They had a Javanese dressing which was soy sauce and

976
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 3: vinegar and oil, but it was good. They also had

977
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 3: a line of salad dressings that they sold in stores.

978
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 3: But anyway, they now exist as a bar in a hotel,

979
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 3: Trader Vicks bar. I think if it's still there in

980
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 3: Beverly somewhere in Beverly Hills.

981
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 2: I think, oh, okay, so it's not like part of

982
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 2: the ratison or something. It's not like Holiday has a trader.

983
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 4: Oh I wish.

984
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 2: Wow. Well, good for them for hanging on somehow, just

985
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 2: downsizing to survive.

986
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 3: Except that we went there and many years ago and

987
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 3: it was depressing.

988
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 2: Oh were the drinks any good?

989
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 4: Maybe I can't remember.

990
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 3: I just remember being like maybe I didn't realize it

991
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 3: was just a bar. Maybe I thought we were going

992
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 3: to in a hotel and I was like, oh, this

993
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 3: is It's like a very thin, narrow menu that just

994
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 3: has drinks and a couple happy hour items.

995
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 2: This is not my memory of it, and how heavily

996
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 2: themed wasn't.

997
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 3: Heavily I'm gonna say.

998
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 2: Okay.

999
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 3: There was also a gift shop in it, and I

1000
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 3: remember as a kid getting to choose a little item.

1001
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 3: There were menahonies, which I feel like this is probably problematic.

1002
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 3: Menahoney was like a small mythological indigenous creature, and I

1003
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 3: think it was like the mascot of Trader Vish Boy,

1004
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 3: and they would have these tiny little plastic menahoneys on

1005
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 3: like swizzle sticks, but you could also buy little minahoney figurines.

1006
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 2: I feel like Trader vis probably had a few problematic

1007
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 2: things going on. Yes, interesting, Maybe I should head over

1008
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 2: to the Trader Vicks bar. It sounds so sad.

1009
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 3: Get you get yourself an order of beats and then

1010
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 3: have yourself.

1011
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 2: On awful time. Temple Sherry Shirley Temple, Shirley Temple. Sherry

1012
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 2: Temple is the sister that was forgotten. She died. She

1013
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 2: was a chimney sweep. Okay, well, I've got this thing.

1014
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 2: I'm I imagine I have to drink it with a straw.

1015
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 3: I think not out of this thing you could try,

1016
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 3: but I would recommend a straw I.

1017
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 2: Could sip, but this feels like a straw type object.

1018
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to have that in my cupboard and I'm

1019
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 2: going to drink out of it. I love it.

1020
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 3: I'm so happy about it makes me happy because I

1021
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 3: have wondered about the fate of the gifts that you

1022
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 3: receive that aren't received so.

1023
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 2: Well, they're still filling up my home. Okay, I just

1024
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 2: resent them, okay, Whereas this is something I'll be delighted

1025
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:42,479
Speaker 2: by all the time.

1026
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:43,240
Speaker 4: It's so exciting.

1027
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 2: So I really appreciate you thinking about my feelings.

1028
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 3: Now.

1029
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 2: The second gift, Oh, I forgot there was even a

1030
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 2: second thing in here.

1031
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 4: Less thoughtful.

1032
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 2: Okay, that's Oh, it's a little bread loaf by how

1033
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 2: do you say this? Taso or taso?

1034
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1035
00:47:58,160 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 4: But it's tea.

1036
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 2: Wait, oh it's glazed lemon loaf flavored tea.

1037
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 3: Yes.

1038
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 2: Now, oh, we've gone too far.

1039
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 3: I know that when you said a little it's a

1040
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 3: little bread loaf, I got excited, like that would be

1041
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 3: such a good gift.

1042
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 2: That would be cool, little bread loaf. Yeah, I know

1043
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 2: your guests, I need some.

1044
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 3: Bread small bread though, rightall bread, I don't need that

1045
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 3: much bread. No, this is glazed lemon loaf tea. It

1046
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 3: is actually if you like herbal teas, do you? Yeah?

1047
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 2: I love herbal teas. Actually, I mean I was thinking

1048
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 2: with this boot, Uh could I put a hot drink

1049
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: in it?

1050
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 4: I don't know the answer of a boot?

1051
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: Who could ask for more?

1052
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 4: It's wonderful to me.

1053
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 3: The problem would be that the glaze might like melt.

1054
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 3: But look, if you're having a day with your carcinogenic chalk.

1055
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 2: They crossed that bridge. Let's go for it.

1056
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 4: I feel like it probably be okay, it's been through

1057
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 4: a kiln. Yes, you're right.

1058
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 3: So anyway, I became a fan of this tea, such

1059
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 3: a fan that I subscribed on Amazon, and then I

1060
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 3: forgot that I had subscribed, so like it just me, Yeah,

1061
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 3: I have so many boxes of this at home, and

1062
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 3: I'm not drinking it at the rate I once was. Okay, okay,

1063
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 3: So I don't know if you'll like it.

1064
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: It's I think I will like it because it combines

1065
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 2: everybody loves lemon and a tea. Yes, a little sweetness.

1066
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: It's a vanilla, right, which sounds very comforting.

1067
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 4: I really enjoyed it, and it's part.

1068
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 2: Of their dessert delight selection. I wonder what other desserts

1069
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 2: they're offering.

1070
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 3: I think there's like a butterscotch cake or something which

1071
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 3: I didn't like as okay, but the crown jewel of

1072
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 3: their dessert delight side.

1073
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 4: Oh and if I remember.

1074
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 3: Correctly, there's some like tongue in cheek copy on the box.

1075
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: Well there's let's see it here. It says we've got

1076
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 2: our own thing brewing. We're on a quest to be

1077
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 2: the most unexpected teamakers. Okay, they've done it. We're always curious,

1078
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 2: always questioning, what's this flavor? What's that aroma?

1079
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 4: I'm already annoyed.

1080
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 2: I know I've I mean, i've word one. I was annoyed.

1081
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 2: We love to dive in and stir things up. We're

1082
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 2: half curious kid, oh, half intrepid explorer, half undaunted alchemist. Okay, yes,

1083
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 2: one and a half. It's who's what poor soul had

1084
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 2: to write this? I know that spirit. We bring it

1085
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 2: to tea. We do it through unexpected blends with a twist,

1086
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 2: so you can taste the vibrant, undiscovered flavors the world

1087
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: has stashed away. You're getting so much free advertising for me.

1088
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 2: If I don't get if we don't both get massive

1089
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 2: boxes is of tea. I mean, you don't need it,

1090
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 2: but yeah, you can give it to the termites or something.

1091
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: I'm so excited to try this. And they also somehow

1092
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 2: have a recipe for bread on the side, which makes

1093
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 2: no sense.

1094
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so read it though this is not helpful.

1095
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 2: Heat your oven to three hundred and fifty degrees, grease

1096
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 2: a pan. Okay, this is falling apart because it says

1097
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 2: mick and eggs, sugar, yogurt, and whisk, vigorously stir in lemon, zest, vanilla,

1098
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 2: and flour, bake for fifty minutes, or just brew this

1099
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 2: tea in your favorite cup. We're a fan of both approaches.

1100
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: That recipe is not going to work out. It doesn't

1101
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:15,959
Speaker 2: even tell you what I'm.

1102
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 4: Ount No, I think that's the whole thing.

1103
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 2: It's like this company could be saving millions on ink

1104
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 2: by not putting that on the box. I would love

1105
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 2: to see. I mean, what does that look like. That's

1106
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 2: just like scrambled eggs in a with yogurt. Yeah, yogurt

1107
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,280
Speaker 2: and lemon. That is disgusting. Taso, you should be Taso

1108
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 2: Taso tasso.

1109
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Taso taso feels.

1110
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 2: The most sophisticationing. Yes, that's probably what they want people

1111
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: to think of it. Well, I'm very excited to try

1112
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 2: this tea and maybe the horrible recipe. Number one ingredient

1113
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 2: is apple.

1114
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, interesting, surprising?

1115
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 2: Okay, well, now I've probably ruined the taste. I'm gonna

1116
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 2: taste nothing but apple in this, and oh, I find

1117
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 2: so many ways to ruin everything in my life. Are

1118
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 2: you a big tea drinker in general?

1119
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 3: No, I kind of go through face. I'm a big

1120
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 3: coffee drinker. But then every now and again I'll be like,

1121
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 3: I don't feel like having coffee right now, and so

1122
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 3: I'll start drinking tea. But for them, it hasn't happened

1123
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 3: in a long time.

1124
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tea for me is because I've slowly gotten away

1125
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 2: from a coffee in the afternoon. I think tea is

1126
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 2: going to be the replacement.

1127
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 3: And in general, are you drinking an herbal tea or

1128
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 3: like a black I.

1129
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 2: Love an herbal tea, iced tea. It's usually black tea,

1130
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 2: I suppose, but I love an iced green tea. I'll

1131
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 2: go for any tea as long as it's not sweetened

1132
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 2: sweet tea.

1133
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 3: Oh, and you don't put any sweetener in it.

1134
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 2: No sweetener. I just love the taste of an herb

1135
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 2: or a grass or whatever.

1136
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 3: But you don't like beets.

1137
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: Well, it's because of that texture and the dirt element

1138
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 2: and every other horrible thing about beats. I think we

1139
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 2: should play a game.

1140
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 4: I would love to play a game.

1141
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 2: We're going to play a game called Gift or a Curse.

1142
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 3: Oh. I love this when you do it on Instagram.

1143
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Instagram. It's all over the place. And now

1144
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 2: you get to do it in person.

1145
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 4: I cannot wait.

1146
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: I need a number between one and ten from you.

1147
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 4: Four.

1148
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 2: Okay, I have to do some light calculating to get

1149
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 2: our game pieces. I'll just hang out right now. You couldn't.

Speaker 2: you're gonna tell me if they're a gift or a curse,

1178
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 2: and why then I'll tell you if you're right or wrong,

1179
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 2: because there are correct answers.

1180
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I love the pressure.

1181
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 2: Oh the pressure could not be higher. Number one. This

1182
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: is a listener suggestion from somebody named Miranda. Gift or

1183
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 2: a curse. Watching a horror movie in the morning curse? Why?

1184
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:53,280
Speaker 3: I I'm sorry, that's a curse. I cannot do horror

1185
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 3: movies at all, at all. I scare easily clowns. Thing

1186
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 3: that we discussed, which is complicated, but so to me.

1187
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 3: You watch a horror movie in the morning. I know

1188
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 3: what everyone's thinking. The people who are going to say

1189
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 3: it's a gift are like, but it's daylight. So well,

1190
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,280
Speaker 3: in my mind, you watch a horror movie in the morning.

1191
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 3: Now you're afraid in the daylight, which is not even

1192
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 3: an appropriate time to be afraid.

1193
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 4: I have been afraid in the daylight.

1194
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 3: I saw that awful, awful but scary to me movie

1195
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 3: Skeleton Key in the theater long story, came home afternoon

1196
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 3: and then I'm just walking around my apartment afraid.

1197
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 4: So I've been there. It's a curse.

1198
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 2: Alison.

1199
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:36,720
Speaker 3: Oh wrong?

1200
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 2: What? Oh, You're so wrong? It hurts. It's a gift.

1201
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,439
Speaker 2: What what a way to start the day you've got

1202
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 2: You know, you're waking ruining it, throwing things off in

1203
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 2: an interesting way. You're still in your robe, you're kind

1204
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 2: of moseying around the house. Somebody's getting killed on your television.

1205
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 2: You're waking up with Michael Myers, you're waking up with

1206
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 2: Freddy Krueger. You're rushing, and you're distracted for the rest

1207
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 2: of the day. That's the thing you're afraid of, rather

1208
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 2: than the things you're afraid of in real life.

1209
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 3: I get that that must be how people who like

1210
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 3: horror movies feel like, oh good.

1211
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 4: Now there's something concrete that I can.

1212
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:19,439
Speaker 3: Feel terrorized by as opposed to just existence right.

1213
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 4: But for me, it's worse.

1214
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 3: I'd rather be like worried about that thing I said,

1215
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 3: than worried that someone's gonna kill me that I don't

1216
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 3: even believe in.

1217
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,760
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, make an extra ninety minutes in your morning,

1218
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 2: set it aside to watch a horror movie, and your

1219
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,359
Speaker 2: day is gonna go better. I really feel it.

1220
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be able to do any of the things

1221
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 3: that I was intending to do.

1222
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 2: Though you haven't tried, Alison.

1223
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 3: I know, but I'm saying, like the idea of being

1224
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 3: scared out of my mind and then like having to

1225
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 3: get in my car and go do something I can't even.

1226
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 2: Well, you're not gonna You're not getting the point, so

1227
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 2: that's all that matters. Number two, This is an interesting one.

1228
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 2: This is from a past guest, she suggested, And this

1229
00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,040
Speaker 2: is past guest Jessica Goo kind of my enemy, but

1230
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 2: she suggested, let's be honest. I had to take the

1231
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 2: suggestion caffeinated snack bars gift or a curse gift?

1232
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 3: Why I have been having caffeinated snack bars of late Okay?

1233
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 2: What kind they're called?

1234
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: Verb?

1235
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I know, I don't love the name of myself.

1236
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 3: But there's two different flavors I've tried. One is caramel

1237
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 3: machiato and keeping with the coffee. Then the other one

1238
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 3: is like vanilla.

1239
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 4: Latte or something.

1240
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 3: They're not delicious, But one little bar has the same

1241
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 3: caffeine as a cup of coffee, they claim. Uh so, yeah,

1242
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 3: I have been explored. I've become obsessed recently with coffee

1243
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 3: staining my teeth.

1244
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 4: I'm a fun person.

1245
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 3: I'm a fun person, and so I'm like, I've got

1246
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 3: to find a way to get the caffeine into my

1247
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 3: system without constantly just drinking coffee. So I've gone down

1248
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 3: the energy the energy drink route. And I really always

1249
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 3: judged a person with like a monster energy in the

1250
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 3: hand before, and now I am one of those bags.

1251
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, so I.

1252
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 3: Say, gift, oh, oh.

1253
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 2: No, this is you have not started the game on

1254
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 2: a good foot. I mean you're halfway more than halfway through,

1255
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 2: and you've got another one wrong, horrible explain it. Just

1256
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 2: told me they don't taste good. Let's leave the caffeine

1257
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: to the drink. Let's leave the caffeine to the coffee.

1258
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 2: You've got a stuff wearing. Your teeth are gonna be fine.

1259
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 2: You brushed twice a day.

1260
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're fine than that.

1261
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 2: You've been drinking coffee for years. You've got beautiful teeth.

1262
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 4: I mean, thank you.

1263
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 2: Get a straw drink.

1264
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 4: I actually I actually.

1265
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 3: Do that now, Okay, And I'm starting to realize I

1266
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 3: think I keep a tiny bit of coffee in my mouth,

1267
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 3: like like because theoretically the straw should make it bypass

1268
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 3: your teeth, right, And I sure I don't. I think

1269
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 3: I'm like it's like incomplete combustion in a car, which

1270
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 3: causes smock. It's like incomplete hydration. There's a little bit

1271
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 3: that's just sticking around in my lips. Maybe I don't know.

1272
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 2: You've got to let it go. These caffeinated snack bars. No, no, no,

1273
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: I don't believe like the content. They don't know how

1274
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 2: much caffeine they've got. They're making it up right, it's

1275
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 2: just and I feel like, you eat it and it's

1276
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 2: way more caffeine than you need. It's dangerous, it's disgusting.

1277
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 3: It's a guy who's using ant chocks as it's dangerous.

1278
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, exactly.

1279
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 4: But you've never tried one.

1280
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 2: I've had one before and it's got kind of that

1281
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 2: bitter caffeine taste that's like obviously has been sucked out

1282
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 2: of a better product to be dumped into the bar.

1283
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 3: To me, what it says is we're not going to

1284
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 3: be concerned with making something that tastes good because you're desperate.

1285
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 2: We've got you're our hostage. Well no, no, no, zero

1286
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 2: out of two so far. Finally, this is from a listener,

1287
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 2: and I don't have their name. That's probably my fault. Listener.

1288
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 2: I have such a I apologize to you. But whatever

1289
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 2: aifter a curse when a news anchor plays themselves in

1290
00:59:59,080 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 2: a movie.

1291
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 3: Oh okay, Now I am forced with wondering should I

1292
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 3: pull the Costanza thing where it's like, since I've gotten

1293
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 3: too wrong, I have to not go with my instincts. Now,

1294
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 3: this is when a news anchor plays themselves in a movie,

1295
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 3: not when they just play a.

1296
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 4: Different news anchor.

1297
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 3: Right, I am going to say, I gotta be true

1298
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 3: to myself. It's a gift, and why I just like it?

1299
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 3: I Oh, you know what what happens if someone tries

1300
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 3: to change their mind halfway through?

1301
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 2: You can reverse.

1302
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna reverse because for a second I was into it,

1303
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 3: and then I thought about recently, I think I saw

1304
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 3: a news anchor play in themselves, and I thought to myself,

1305
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 3: you're debasing yourself. Here. There goes your thin veneer of credibility. Anyway,

1306
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 3: because whatever phony drama this movie is about, like you're

1307
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 3: buying in entirely.

1308
01:00:58,120 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 4: And listen, Brian Williams, Now, I.

1309
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 2: Can it was Brian Williams.

1310
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,439
Speaker 3: I believe it. I wasn't going to say his name,

1311
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 3: but that I but I'm not sure it was. You

1312
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 3: can imagine it might have been.

1313
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 2: Brian does a lot of narrative acting, I believe, appearing

1314
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 2: as himself in fictional.

1315
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 3: But it's just like, well, now this is just you

1316
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 3: seem sincere and you seem stentorian. But now I know

1317
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 3: it's BS. So it's a curse.

1318
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 2: Thank god, Alison, You've got a point. It's a curse.

1319
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 2: I mean, everything you just noted makes it a curse.

1320
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 2: I mean, occasionally I do like to see my favorite

1321
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 2: news anchor pop up in a movie.

1322
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 4: And here's that.

1323
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 2: I don't you know my favorites. I don't have a

1324
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 2: particular favorite, but it's fun to see them. And they're

1325
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 2: all they're good at acting as a news anchor in

1326
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 2: because they're performing when they're on the news, so it

1327
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 2: does make it a little more authentic. But I love

1328
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 2: to see an actor be a bad news anchor, I

1329
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 2: because it's something other than acting. And most actors can't

1330
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 2: nay news anchor, right, And it's so funny to see

1331
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 2: a fake news anchor in a movie. It's incredibly distracting.

1332
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 3: Right, they overdoing it. Ye see, you're a serious thing.

1333
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 2: And these real news anchors are taking jobs from these

1334
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 2: bad actors and like that, or we don't. I don't

1335
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 2: like that they're taking these drinks.

1336
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, I forgot there.

1337
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:21,919
Speaker 2: They don't need a side hustle.

1338
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, stay in your own lane.

1339
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 2: And also what does the universe of the movie become

1340
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 2: when a real person is in it?

1341
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 3: What I'm saying, Oh, it's so disorienting, right, we are

1342
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 3: not ready for that. It's post post post structuralism. Yes,

1343
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 3: and I'm not ready for that.

1344
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 2: None of us is ready for that. We can't be

1345
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 2: thousands of years away. We can't begin to comprehend what

1346
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 2: that is.

1347
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 3: That was such excellent grammar to say none of us

1348
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 3: is ready. Didn't any part of you want to say

1349
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 3: none of us are ready? Wow?

1350
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 2: No, I'm just a natural. I'm a natural. You are

1351
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 2: so good, But you got one one out of three

1352
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 2: is bad, but at least you didn't fail completely.

1353
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 4: Has anyone won all three?

1354
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 2: Very very few people. I believe it's still under ten.

1355
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 2: Very few people have lost completely. I think that number

1356
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 2: is even smaller. So you were headed towards that, which

1357
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 2: is kind of rare company.

1358
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 4: In the eleventh hour, right, I righted the course.

1359
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 2: Okay, so now we have to answer a listener question.

1360
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 2: This is called I said no emails people write into

1361
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 2: I said no gifts at gmail dot com and listener.

1362
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 2: We're really trying to open it up to truly you

1363
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 2: can ask anything. At this point people were asking about

1364
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 2: gift situations. But write and do whatever you want. I

1365
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 2: love answering questions, Alison, do you like to answer a question?

1366
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 3: I do? On Childish, which is my parentingish podcast, we

1367
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,439
Speaker 3: answer questions and then sometimes we answer questions on Alice

1368
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 3: Rose as you know us friend as well. I find

1369
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 3: I sometimes try so hard to make sure that I'm

1370
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 3: giving them good advice that like I forget that I'm

1371
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 3: also supposed to be doing and entertaining show, which is

1372
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 3: also the Fuchs state I go into and talking about

1373
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 3: in facts I believe.

1374
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 4: So you could just pull me out.

1375
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 3: Of it if I begin spiraling down.

1376
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 2: Okay, let's let's give it a shot. I will just

1377
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,919
Speaker 2: cut you off completely as so rude. Okay, this says

1378
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 2: gift god Bridger. Wow, what a title they've given me.

1379
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 2: And then for you TBD guests that she.

1380
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 3: Got to be sensual and disrespectful and.

1381
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 2: I guess kind to be determined. I'm so sorry, but

1382
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 2: that's it's this person's fault. Recently, a friend asked me

1383
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 2: to help her find a gift for her other friend

1384
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 2: in our mutual home country. I suggested some excellent local

1385
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 2: indie brands and stores where she could find what she needed,

1386
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 2: and we went together to look around.

1387
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 4: The country America.

1388
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 3: What country is.

1389
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 2: We don't know. I'm kind of picturing Scandinavian country, but

1390
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 2: who knows. Here's the problem. Once at the store, she

1391
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 2: ignored super cool stuff that is very representative of the

1392
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 2: style here, for things that fit her own personal aesthetic

1393
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 2: and are not as common here, not her friends, her own,

1394
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 2: and one that's more common where we're both from. Okay,

1395
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 2: I mean, if we get it. Perhaps this is just

1396
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 2: an affront to my own gift giving sensibilities, as I

1397
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 2: try to send people gifts very much of the place

1398
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,479
Speaker 2: I live and that they couldn't get at home, while

1399
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 2: still considering a personal taste and style. This person's really

1400
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 2: puffing themselves up.

1401
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are they like an ambassador for Scandinavia?

1402
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? God only knows. Is this an affront to others

1403
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,959
Speaker 2: if in a similar situation in the future. People often

1404
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 2: ask me for gift giving advice. How can I guide

1405
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 2: people in the right direction or perhaps become more open

1406
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 2: to the idea that I don't always know better. Thank you,

1407
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 2: And that's signed be leaguered buddy. So we don't even

1408
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 2: get a name. This person is afraid to give their name.

1409
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 3: Now, evidently people often ask this person for gift giving advice.

1410
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 3: Maybe they are some kind of ambassador.

1411
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Maybe they've worked for the UN or something.

1412
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 2: I hope they're not in charge of anything. I'm not

1413
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 2: getting a good feeling from this person. They they're writing

1414
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 2: in their kind of their friend was on vacation and

1415
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 2: they were criticizing.

1416
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 3: And the feeling I'm getting is they're like, settle a bet,

1417
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 3: I'm right right, Like, this doesn't it doesn't feel.

1418
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 4: Like a genuine question.

1419
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 3: No, they have a strong opinion and they just want

1420
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 3: to know if you.

1421
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 4: Give God they want to get TVD agree with him.

1422
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 3: Now, Okay, So the friend and the other friend live

1423
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 3: in a mutual country which has distinctive like windmills, let's say, right,

1424
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 3: and the friend that they're buying the gift for does

1425
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 3: not live there.

1426
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is such a confusing thing. Yeah,

1427
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 2: a friend asked her other friend, you know, there's a

1428
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 2: mutual home country that got I think they all came

1429
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 2: from the same country. This person now lives in a

1430
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 2: different country.

1431
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 3: Okay, but are they homesick for the wear of their country?

1432
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 2: I mean this person should I mean be in jail?

1433
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 2: This email is deeply confusing.

1434
01:06:58,920 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 3: Right.

1435
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 2: Let's assume this person moved to Sweden from the United States. Okay,

1436
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 2: and then their friend Jennifer came to visit Okay, and

1437
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 2: their friend at home, Melanie, needs a souvenir.

1438
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 4: Okay, So Jennifer asks the.

1439
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 2: Friend who's currently living in Sweden what should I get

1440
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 2: and then ignores all of that advice.

1441
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 3: To buy something that fits her whimsy.

1442
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 2: And let's say, yeah, Chabby Sheik, of course, and that

1443
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 2: you could clearly buy in the United States.

1444
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 3: Right.

1445
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 4: So the question, now, what is the question?

1446
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 2: How can so?

1447
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 4: Is that? A?

1448
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 2: And Kevin And let's let's put a mail in here,

1449
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 2: Kevin and Sweden. He wants to in the future when

1450
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 2: people have this question, he wants to be able to

1451
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 2: convince them to buy things he wants them to buy.

1452
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:45,919
Speaker 4: Right.

1453
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 3: Well, look, if it's a I mean, we didn't Kevin

1454
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 3: did not provide us with the occasion forgetting Jennifer or no, Melanie, Melanie.

1455
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 3: If it is a souvenir. Can we make that assumption. Yeah,

1456
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 3: because it's coming from the to a home country. A

1457
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 3: souvenir usually is representative of the place.

1458
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 2: Right.

1459
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 3: For example, I have a magnet from Canada. Then my

1460
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 3: friend got me from Canada. If it was just a

1461
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 3: magnet that had a I mean, I like ducks, as

1462
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 3: one does if it was. But if it was a

1463
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 3: duck magnet, I would like it too. But I wouldn't

1464
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 3: think about Canada when I looked at it, right, So

1465
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 3: I do. Look, I don't want to give Kevin a point,

1466
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 3: much like you didn't want to give me.

1467
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 4: That last point. I could feel it.

1468
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 3: But you know, if this and if this is a

1469
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 3: unique country they're in, which it might be, we have

1470
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 3: no idea. If it has its own stuff, then yeah,

1471
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 3: send someone your Lingenberry jam or whatever.

1472
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I think my advice here is if

1473
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 2: Kevin obviously has control issues, Yeah, is obsessed with sending

1474
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 2: home country objects away. Your friend is staying with you, says,

1475
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 2: what should I buy, Melanie? You say, give me some money.

1476
01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 2: I'll go to the store and get you the perfect thing.

1477
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 2: Have to be part of the scenario. Then you buy

1478
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 2: a cheap something cheaper than the amount of money they

1479
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 2: gave you pocket some of the money. This is how

1480
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 2: you get Kevin is getting some excellent advice. Right now,

1481
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 2: You buy you know, a keychain that with a license

1482
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 2: plate that says Melanie Sweden on it, and then you

1483
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:20,680
Speaker 2: keep the extra forty eight dollars. Take it back to Jennifer,

1484
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 2: say this costs fifty dollars and the problem solved. You

1485
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 2: got to control the situation entirely and steal from a friend.

1486
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 4: Yes, this is excellent, excellent.

1487
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 2: I mean I hate to give it after that confusing email.

1488
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: I know.

1489
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 4: Our advice.

1490
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 2: He deserves punishment, but we had to do it community service.

1491
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 2: That's part of this podcast.

1492
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 3: Now, what what is the ratio for how much you

1493
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 3: should be pocketing versus how much the gift costs?

1494
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 4: Sounds like percent.

1495
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 2: Take as much as you possibly can get, right. I

1496
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 2: don't care if it seems obvious that you're stealing, because

1497
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 2: if your friend then accuses you, you that's very That's

1498
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:02,639
Speaker 2: a rude thing to do as a house.

1499
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 3: Guest, right right, then you know their true colors.

1500
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 2: They're the bad.

1501
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 4: At that point.

1502
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 3: Yes, how can I ask you a gift or a curse?

1503
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I would love this.

1504
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 3: I wasn't intending to do this. I wasn't to come here,

1505
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 3: but it just occurred to me. Gift or curse. Gift

1506
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 3: bought in an airport?

1507
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 2: Oh, interesting, curse? I there's nothing interesting you're ever going

1508
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 2: to find it in an airport. Of course, it's always expensive,

1509
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 2: and uh, what what are we buying in an airport?

1510
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 2: You can't even go in the duty free shop, right,

1511
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 2: you can't that.

1512
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 4: You can't because I want those giant perfumes.

1513
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 1: Right.

1514
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 2: It's a strange alternate universe that you aren't allowed to

1515
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 2: enter the beautiful chocolates, the whatever the hell they're selling there.

1516
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 3: And then what alcohol, cigarettes, perfume and chocolates and maybe

1517
01:10:58,040 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 3: batteries I don't know.

1518
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,680
Speaker 2: And then we've got the bizarre our souvenir store that

1519
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 2: just has the state printed on.

1520
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 3: Everything, sweatshirt with the state or like.

1521
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 2: And then we have a Hudson News Yeah he.

1522
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 3: Is candy lately. Oh yeah, but I don't know if

1523
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 3: it's like special airports.

1524
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 2: Right, and it's it's only in the boxes. You don't

1525
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 2: get to select the chocolates yourself, which is part of

1526
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 2: the fun for me exactly. But I'm gonna say, curse, yeah.

1527
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 4: Okay, I think I'm with you on that.

1528
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 3: To me, buying a gift in an airport is oh shoot,

1529
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 3: I forgot. I had to get something right, however, if

1530
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 3: I may just get something off my chest. Years ago,

1531
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 3: my husband and I went to Hawaii and we bought

1532
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 3: one of those boxes of chocolates, the Hawaiian box of chocolate.

1533
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 2: Like a macadamia.

1534
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 4: Not yes, like a maca. It's like they had.

1535
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:51,640
Speaker 3: It's it is so of the place, because I think

1536
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 3: you can only get them everywhere at the place. But

1537
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,679
Speaker 3: it doesn't look expensive or anything, but still for my mom.

1538
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 3: And we got home and gave it to my mom,

1539
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,679
Speaker 3: and my brother, who was in town visiting, said something

1540
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 3: about oh airport special, and I was like, what it

1541
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 3: wasn't an airport special? It was rude, You're in Hawaii special?

1542
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 3: How dare you?

1543
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 2: What's his problem?

1544
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 4: Maybe he wanted that.

1545
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,759
Speaker 2: I think you did want them. I think he expect

1546
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:21,759
Speaker 2: you to bring home.

1547
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 3: A pineapple street from the Dole plantation, which you can't

1548
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:27,480
Speaker 3: even bring on the plane.

1549
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 2: I have thought fresh produce.

1550
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 3: No, I have no idea, but I have carried that

1551
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 3: around with me for This was in twenty fourteen, A long.

1552
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 2: Time those chocolates are delicious.

1553
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 3: They're delicious and all. I just need to let everyone know.

1554
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 3: I hope they wasn't from the airport. Yes, they had

1555
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 3: them at the airport, but it wasn't.

1556
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 2: Frecause they were delicio place.

1557
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 3: It was from the CBS in Hawaii or whatever plant

1558
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,599
