00:00:08 Speaker 1: Hello, I invited you here. I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guest, your presences presents enough. I'm already had too much stuff, So how do you dare to surbey me? 00:00:47 Speaker 2: Welcome to carpool Karaoke. I'm James Gordon. Ah, what am I? What am I doing here? What am I saying? I'm glad you're here at the podcast, and I hope that whatever is happening to you audio wise now is just I hope you're settled. Everything's perfect. The world is in such a good place right now, and we're all thrilled. I hope you've done your back to school shopping. Maybe you're in your new back to school outfit. We're you know, we're looking down the barrel of fall here and everyone is thrilled. And now we're going to do with the podcast. I'm very excited about today's guest. I think you're going to have a good time. I'm going to have a good time unless something, you know, goes crazy halfway through the episode. We never know what's going to happen on a podcast. That's okay, welcome to I said, no gifts. 00:01:41 Speaker 3: Christine Madrano, Hi, Hello, thank you for having me. 00:01:46 Speaker 2: Of course, how are you? 00:01:48 Speaker 3: I'm doing gray. I'm loving this top hat in the back that I can see. 00:01:52 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that is a previous gift from Paul F. Tompkins that's now on display there. I'm just kind of slowly collecting decorations for my office. I guess is what's happening beautiful? 00:02:09 Speaker 3: I mean, a top hat is the first thing I would get for any office situation to let people know who's top dog and what's going to happen. You're bringing me the class. 00:02:20 Speaker 2: Have you ever worn a top hat? 00:02:22 Speaker 3: I feel like I have not worn a top hat. I've never had the opportunity, which kind of seems insane to me. I feel like, if anything of a short I could use a top hat a few inches, I'll get into anywhere top or bottom. 00:02:35 Speaker 2: How tall are you I'm five foot flat. Wow, that's a nice round number. 00:02:41 Speaker 3: Yeah. I do think that my entire life would have been completely different if I was like two or three inches more tall. 00:02:47 Speaker 2: Of course, I mean it really shifts everything in such a I mean in a subtle way. But you know, taller people they've got it all going for them. They do. 00:02:57 Speaker 3: But I also don't think I would be able to take get away with as many things as I would have in my early twenties and I was like like going out and getting drunk. I feel like more people would have tried to fight me or holler, because I'm sure people are like, it's fine, just pick her up and remove her. 00:03:13 Speaker 2: Right, you don't seem like a threat. 00:03:15 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly right, threatening. 00:03:18 Speaker 2: And we don't have to worry about as many back problems later in life. 00:03:22 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I skate a lot, and I like to think the reason why I haven't broken a bone is because it's harder to snap a short stick, is what I keep saying. 00:03:33 Speaker 2: That feels like something that should be on a decorative towel so I can put. 00:03:37 Speaker 3: On a talent start selling it. I think, yeah, how long have you been skating? Just quarantine. It's been a quarantine hobby that I have fallen in love with, and I feel like I've gotten pretty good over it, but over the time that I've been doing it. But I also happened to be skating with two people who a lot, with two people who were skate instructors, so I'll just go in their sessions and watch from as far as they teach children. 00:04:03 Speaker 2: Wait, so did you own a skateboard prior to the quarantine. 00:04:07 Speaker 3: I mean I went out bought one, but I have had like different boards that have cruised around on, like a penny board and stuff like that. But now trying to like learn tricks. But I did go out and buy one with like nepas the full you know, all the safety stuff before going into it. 00:04:23 Speaker 2: Really and has it been difficult? 00:04:26 Speaker 3: No, I feel like I feel like, yes, it is a hard hobby, but I like fell in love with it, so it was like so fun to do it. Like I literally was like waking up sometimes at like seven thirty in the morning to go to the skate park to hit up different skate parks and just like skating for hours. 00:04:41 Speaker 2: Now were the were the teens cruel when you were first learning? Did you feel like the teens were after you? 00:04:48 Speaker 3: I'm at certain skate parks they are mean, but for the most part, when they see you really trying something over and over and falling and when you land it, they actually like will cheer for you, even if they don't know you. So there's a lot more encouragement than I actually would have expected, and a lot of. 00:05:05 Speaker 2: Wow, that's really lovely. Yeah, Now, how long did it take you to learn how to ali? 00:05:11 Speaker 3: I mean I feel like I'm still like progressing on my allie journey. But I mean I started practicing pretty early on. I feel like to have a good ali. It probably took me or like a half half decent alie. I would say maybe like a month or so. But I had these things called skate trainers that I put on the board so I wouldn't follow as much. So that definitely helped. 00:05:29 Speaker 2: Oh okay, now have what other tricks have you learned? 00:05:33 Speaker 3: I can drop in, I can shove it, I can rock the faky, I can like I can do like other weird things like like I can I'm working on my my no complies on my like weird kind of more skatery things I could. I did my first fifty to fifty. I feel like I'm so close to getting a kick flip. I am so close to getting a kick flip. I can like taste it. 00:05:58 Speaker 2: I support you. I mean, this is amazing because like my little experience with skateboarding in middle school, I never even learned to ali. It felt so frustrating and difficult, and you know, you know in life, when something becomes frustrating or difficult, what you do is just give up. Absolutely so uh No, but I'm very I find this very inspiring because like on Instagram or whatever, I'll see you occasionally skateboarding, and I thought, oh, this has been a lifelong journey. No, this is been a year and a half or something. 00:06:32 Speaker 3: Even less than that, because I picked it up in like September. Wow, I got kicked off Twitter, and then I started skating because I needed something to do with my free time that didn't involve my that I couldn't use my hands, like so I couldn't get on my phone all the time. 00:06:47 Speaker 2: Okay, we'll circle back to getting kicked off Twitter because I would like to hear what happened there. But I'm still curious about skateboarding. Is there any end goal? Is there? Like? Is there like you want to skate in a competition and you want to do something or is it just like I just want this as a skill. 00:07:03 Speaker 3: I just want this as a skill. But the kickflip, Like when I get a kickflip, I will be able to die happy. I feel like it's been a journey that I've been on for like a while, and it'd just be cool to be able to do that, and I wanted to be able to. Once I get that, I feel like nothing, like everything else is devicing. This is like like happy to be there. 00:07:25 Speaker 2: Have you been injured at all? 00:07:27 Speaker 3: Oh? Absolutely, I've rolled my ankles so many times. I had X ray in my chest, I like, and when I got the X I fell downstairs and landed on my chest because both of my wrists were so bruised that I knew if I fell on them that I would probably break them. So I fell on my chest and I thought I brac shoot something. And it was trying to get an X ray and I was just calling places like how much is an X ray? And no one could give me an answer, not a hospital, not my insurance. And so I found a guy that did like X rays for like fifty bucks. 00:07:55 Speaker 2: Oh no, what. 00:08:00 Speaker 3: Is that anything medical? I feel like you can kind of negotiate or find someone who's willing to do it for really cheap, which is whatever, that's just America. So he gave me a fifty dollars X ray. It was like in Beverly Hills. So I know. 00:08:13 Speaker 2: He was like, oh, well, but it wasn't an alley. 00:08:15 Speaker 3: It wasn't an alley. I never saw he never show he never showed me the x ray. But he's like, no, this is broken, You're fine. 00:08:22 Speaker 2: What was it? Was this really like a was it a clinic or what was it in the back like in a mall? Or what's happening here? 00:08:28 Speaker 3: I mean it was a real radiology. Wow. I had no idea, but he just didn't show me the x ray. Like, you're fine. Another broken and if your ribs are broken, there's nothing you can do. You just have to wait it out and wait for the heel. 00:08:43 Speaker 2: There are certain bones in the body. The human body has evolved in a bad way with where they're like if you break a toe, you just have to deal with it. I don't think so what other bones heel or like it can be you can be fixed in certain ways. The medical community needs to get on this. A broken rib you just wait for it, apparent because go in there and like fix it. I guess you'd have to get like literal surgery. 00:09:05 Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know. I don't know a lot about the human body, but well, and I. 00:09:10 Speaker 2: Doubt that radiologist does either. But fifty, do you snowboard or anything? 00:09:19 Speaker 3: No, I'm from Canada, I s yeah, I don't have a skateboard. I mean I don't just snowboard. I know, to ski, none of that. 00:09:27 Speaker 2: Wow, but well this is a nice life development then getting into extreme sports, this kind of thing. Our mutual friend Maddy Connors, I know, was injured on her skateboard. 00:09:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, he absolutely was. And she has to get I mean, I don't know if she'd be talking about this, but she's supposed to get shoulder surgery, and I mean, I don't know what this episode is coming up, but I ordered for her a cameo from Tony Hawk. Oh my god, but then she moved her surgery. So now I just have this cameo from Tony Hawk that I already paid for. He gave it to me, already said to me, and the entire cameo is him encouraging her to keep skating. And I was like, no, Tony, that is not what I wanted. But I'm like, I guess I'm gonna give it to her because I did pay for it. Whenever he gets surgery, if she gets surgery. 00:10:14 Speaker 2: This rapidly aging cameo from Tony Hawk. Wow. Well this will air early September, and we'll obviously get have to get in touch with Maddie to see if Sherea can reveal that she's dicey about surgery. Maybe this is the episode she needs to hear, Maddie, you need that surgery. We've got to get your shoulder fixed. And I'm going to I'm on Tony's side here, I'm going to encourage the skateboarding. How much does a Tony Hawk cameo cost? Can we talk about that? 00:10:46 Speaker 3: Yeah? It was it was pricey. I was there the accident day, the day of the accident, Okay, so I felt like guilty, like a survival guilt. So I was like it was dollars. Oh, I know, it seems like its amount of money. But I was like, I was like, this will cear her up. And I felt bad because I was like I was saying, I was there the day. I was like holding her hand as she was going down this round because I was holding her hand. The way she fell made me holding her hand made it worse. 00:11:16 Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I blame you. 00:11:17 Speaker 3: I was like, I'll pay dollars to kind of remove some guilt. And Tony Hawk knows your name. 00:11:24 Speaker 2: I blame you, The skating community blames you. This is the least you can do. 00:11:28 Speaker 3: I mean, I told Tony Hawk to google her, and I think that's pretty if he did. I feel like I would want Tony having a shoulder injuries worth having Tony Hawk know who I am and my work. 00:11:38 Speaker 2: Oh to be in Tony Hawk's search history. What an honor? What an absolute honor? Maybe you know, maybe it's a little ghost to know the to be talking about the price of this. Maybe we'll beep the price. Yeah, on a least, note that, and listener, we're going to beat the price. If you want to know the price of Tony Hawk, you're gonna have to look it up. 00:11:56 Speaker 3: You can have to go to Cameo and order one, honey. 00:12:01 Speaker 2: I feel like Tony Hawk is a stand up guy. 00:12:04 Speaker 3: He has remained unproblematic in such and so supportive like the girls that he found like on Twitter or something like go to the Olympics. Since he's like thirteen year old and like one gold or something. 00:12:18 Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with this, but I believe it. He seems like a good guy. He's got a long line of good video games. I think he's just one of those. You know, I think most skaters are pretty great people. 00:12:30 Speaker 3: You've just skated through life that Tony Haw, I'll tell yah. 00:12:35 Speaker 2: And now we can all get on cameo and have him talk to us. So we're supporting the Tony Hawk Cameo community, whatever, whatever, whatever, Well, this is very exciting. We do not now. I did say we were going to circle back to you. Getting kicked off Twitter. Twitter's a nightmare, but I do want to hear. I always like to hear why someone got kicked off. 00:12:53 Speaker 3: Okay, so the first time I got kicked off because now I am permanently banned. The first time we got kicked off, it was because it was I just called Tomi la Ran a kunt. The second time I told Ben Caul that I called the limp bitch boy. Who's limp bitch boy face, which is I don't think that's a threat. No. And then the third time was which was the permanent band was when I called told I called Tomi Lauran again, I know, like a stupid dumb bitch. And I thought, because that was like not as aggressive as a cunt, that I'd be fine, but apparently not. The permanently banned me for that. 00:13:29 Speaker 2: Wait, So I I've never heard her name pronounced out loud. So for the first minute, I was like, who are you talking about? And I was like, Oh, that is that how you say your name? 00:13:41 Speaker 3: I truly do not know. I feel like if I looked at it, I was that's how I would say. 00:13:46 Speaker 2: I mean, I think we should all be pronouncing it in different ways at all. I mean, we shouldn't be saying it aloud at all. She I mean the fact that she's even penetrated this podcast I'm a little upset about. And if she's a listener, something have to be done about the podcast. I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna have to probably start rethinking a lot of things about my life. So I think, I mean, well, you're very lucky to have just been banned from that whole. I mean, if we could all just be banned from social media in general, we've probably learned to skate. We do something, you know, So I guess you have the old TL to thank for your new skating skill. 00:14:28 Speaker 3: I mean kind of unfortunately, but yeah. 00:14:31 Speaker 2: When you medal at the X Games, should have to be the first person you think. 00:14:37 Speaker 3: When I go againto like the preteens, who are skating with all like thirteen year old girls that are winning gold medals. It's amazing. 00:14:44 Speaker 2: That is so fantastic. But I mean I would also like to see some you know, fifty five to sixty year olds winning these. 00:14:50 Speaker 3: I think that'd be cooler to have like an elder section of the Olympics. That would be great old athletes competing for like who's still top dog. 00:15:00 Speaker 2: Of course, yeah, we need to. I mean, look, we're not going to get into how the Olympics are also a problem, but if we can think about new everything's a problem at this point. It's just maybe we should all just take a nap for like seventy years and the Earth will fix everything for us. 00:15:18 Speaker 3: I think hibernation mode would be great for humans. 00:15:21 Speaker 2: Oh I would love if we all had hibernation. I think that really would like just a solid like five months of being everyone's asleep. We would wake up and I think a lot of the problems would be solved. 00:15:33 Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I think we wouldn't even know the word self care because that would be everything we needed. It's five minutes of hibernation. Oh my god, are you kidding? So many people? No in cells would exist because people be so much more happy. They would just be like, oh, you're arrested. 00:15:49 Speaker 2: Hibernation. Yeah, I don't know why our species never really picked up on that. What what are the animals that hibernate? We of course bears do Badger's hybrid. I feel like they dig into the dirt and sleep there. I mean, this is just now, I'm just absolutely guessing you. 00:16:07 Speaker 3: Truly have no idea what other animals hibernate other than bears. I couldn't even I wouldn't even be able to. Maybe a groundhog, Oh yeah, I don't know. 00:16:18 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like anything in a wintry climate. I'm thinking, you know, squirrels, we all know they gather the nuts for the winter, or gather their acorns or what have you. But are they hibernating or are they just like in their little tree munching down They're. 00:16:32 Speaker 3: Just like like taking it at all of their cheeks or something. 00:16:35 Speaker 2: I don't know. Birds do not hibernate. Now, I'm just going to start saying things like I objectively know, yeah, they head south. Nothing in the ocean hibernates, nothing in the you know, in warm climates. 00:16:51 Speaker 3: I guess maybe like if we want to talk about like maybe some trees not really hibernating, but they like right, they have like their they go dead for a. 00:16:59 Speaker 2: While, right, they kind of they do more of a dramatic thing, you know. It's more of like a an attention grabbing I'm dead this kind of thing. 00:17:09 Speaker 3: If I could die every year for attention, can you imagine the best? 00:17:14 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm going to fake my death at some point. I'm the attention. 00:17:19 Speaker 3: Very Huckleberry Finn. 00:17:21 Speaker 2: Oh, Yeah, he was a real a real attention freak. Look, speaking of attention, speaking of self care, I have a little little things I need to get into. So the other day, let's see, I guess it was last Thursday or this. At some point in my recent past, I was sitting in therapy and my therapist, I guess I could say his first name, Greg noticed that I had kind of spaced out. Tenny said, what are you thinking about? What do you What do you want to say? And I just had to in the moment say I'm not thinking about therapy at I just remembered that Christine Madrano said she was going to be well. I didn't say your name in therapy, but I said, someone's going to be stopping by my house, and I'm trying to remember if it's today or if it's some point in the future, and then it occurred to me, yes, it is later. I have to go home right after therapy. So you had indicated that you would be stopping by my house at some point that afternoon. And so I get home now having, you know, spent a portion of my therapy thinking about you and your schedule. And I'm sitting at my house and I get a text I'm outside. So I walk outside and here's Christine wearing some very cool pants. By the way, I forgot to tell you in the moment, you were wearing cool pants, but it was because I was distracted. You were holding something. You were holding kind of a shimmering envelope. I mean, honestly, let's just put it out here on the record. Maybe the most gorgeous envelope I've ever seen. 00:19:03 Speaker 3: It's a beautiful envelope. I wish I could take credit for it. 00:19:07 Speaker 2: You should. 00:19:07 Speaker 3: My friend handed it to me. 00:19:09 Speaker 2: It's stunning. That said so this okay. Of course, the listener who has tuned into this podcast knows it's called I said no Gifts. You're familiar with the name of the podcast. It's called I said No Gifts. You agreed to be on the podcast. I said No Gifts a few weeks ago, and I was really excited. I thought Christine's wonderful. She's been a lifelong skateboarder. So, I mean, obviously a lot of truth is coming out on this particular episode. So you show up, you hand me this thing, and I think, oh, no, yeah, is this a gift for me? 00:19:46 Speaker 3: It is a gift for you. Absolutely, Okay, that's. 00:19:50 Speaker 2: A nice confidence. I mean, I'm glad you're at least owning it in the moment. Well, do you want me to open it here on the show? 00:19:57 Speaker 3: I would love for you to open it here on the show. I think that it's something that you will relate to. I think it's something that you will enjoy. I think you should open it up, and I think we Yeah, I'm excited for you to see it. It's something that is very specific to just you. No, no, I. 00:20:15 Speaker 2: Hope it's a nude photo of me or something. 00:20:18 Speaker 3: Also made for you. Like I'm not even joking. 00:20:27 Speaker 2: Wow, this is I mean, this is shocking. I mean, if it had just been this envelope, I don't even know how to describe to the listener. I brought it out of the closet earlier and my boyfriend Jim said, what is that? He thought it was like a piece of a car or something. It's so shimmering and it's like kind of like a tasteful purple. Copperish purple is a rose gold? I don't know rose gold? Okay, I'm gonna say copperish purple. Difference of opinion. That's a new that could be a new iPhone color. If anyone from Apple listening copperish purple. That feels marketable to me. Okay, I'm going to dive in here. And I love the feel of these envelopes. I don't know if this is a new type of envelope that we've just recently come upon, or if I'm just haven't been to a Staples in a while. 00:21:16 Speaker 3: I'm excited for how excited you are just about the envelope. 00:21:18 Speaker 2: I know you could have just given me this and I would have been like, Wow, I've got an amazing envelope and nothing else matters, so let's dive in here. I would say it feels like I'm not going to bend it, because who knows what's in here. But it's like it feels substantial, whatever's happening in here? Yea, reaching Okay, what this is incredible? 00:21:50 Speaker 3: This is It's like I was like, I yeah, yeah, and I was like, this is what I'm kidding. I'm gonna go big. I'm going to custom custom make a gift. 00:22:05 Speaker 2: This is the most custom thing I've maybe ever received. It's a so it's a round mirror. I'm now kind of looking at myself in the mirror. It says the face of someone who hates gifts. Fuck gifts. It has the little you know, the classic no sign, you know, no smoking, no ghosts, that kind of thing, and then a little gift. Just look at it and admire myself as someone who hates a gift. And the font choices here are as all over the map as you possibly could ever imagine. There's like we start with kind of a seventies sexy font into the the someone is just in that I would say, early thousand scrap scrapbooking font, and then you know we've got I would say probably a total of seven different fonts. This is incredible. So I mean, how did you think of this? 00:23:10 Speaker 3: Okay, So my friend Corey Johnson, who is an amazing like crafter, I don't even know what you call making things like this. She makes tiny ears and earrings, she makes like mirrors like this, and I reached out to her, I'm like, make me a mirror bit and she made it. She has she has this amazing store. It's called the Attention Store if you want to check it on on Instagram. But it was just one of those things where I told her It told her kind of like a paramera parameters a little bit of me, and I was just like, this is what I want. And then she just gave this to me. And I was like, this is amazing. This is the perfect give to someone like you. 00:23:47 Speaker 2: I just said, with such malice and such, this is a beautiful gift. So she has something called the Attention Store. 00:23:55 Speaker 3: The Attention Store, and she makes like what would you classify this craft? 00:24:01 Speaker 2: Right, I've never even seen I mean, I've never seen a custom mirror before. I don't even know how to categorize this. My whole home should be custom mirrors. I want to become a real just someone who's staring at myself in the mirror. 00:24:12 Speaker 3: All I feel like a gift that someone can look at themselves in is like, who doesn't want that? Right? Yeah, exactly you you don't want that. But now that you're looking at it, like every time we look at that gift, you're going to be like, this was a good gift because I can see myself and it gives me the ability to look at myself. 00:24:35 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can look at myself and say, what have you done with your life? Just all I mean, the amount of things that come to mind when looking in the mirror. It's always an exciting thing. And this one really kind of only speaks to me. No one else can look in my magic mirror. No, this is very much a Is that the evil? What happens in snow White? Who's that woman? The queen? Is she the step mom? Is she the mom? 00:25:02 Speaker 3: It's just a stepmom. It's never the actual mom. They're all like we all like are motherless women. I think it's her evil step mom or like going. 00:25:12 Speaker 2: But she's also the queen. 00:25:14 Speaker 3: She's the queen. I'm true. We're gonna get roasted by like Disney queers who we're gonna be cracking. 00:25:23 Speaker 2: Yeah, the snow White one is really and now that we're talking about it, I don't remember any of the family dynamic of snow White. There's just what is happening because I don't I can't even picture the father. No, there's just the evil queen who looks incredible. Yeah, but her situation snow White or maybe the evil queen isn't the step mom. Maybe she just hates other beautiful women. 00:25:51 Speaker 3: She hates hot women, which is you know, like sweetie not twenty twenty one. 00:25:56 Speaker 2: No, thank you. Yeah, I think that now that we're thinking about, I don't know that the evil queen is even related, or at least isn't aware of any relation. I think the mirror just kind of rats out snow White. We're getting our producer on Alisa's reaching out, and we're getting some information. A princess by birth, snow White's mother died shortly after her birth, Okay, after some time, her father, the king, remarried a vain and cold hearted queen. Not long after their marriage, snow White's beloved father suspiciously died, leaving the young princess as an orphan and now a Lisa is also saying, but also, I don't think this is ever mentioned, so I have no idea where this is from. So it feels like maybe snow White is kind of a just you get to kind of think whatever you will. 00:26:50 Speaker 3: Yeah, the amount of trauma these girls go through. I was like, he's a looking mirror. But then Belle from Beuni the Beast offos a special mirror. 00:26:59 Speaker 2: She does, what's her situation? 00:27:01 Speaker 3: Show me the Beast and with the Beast is the opportunity or like you could say, like show me whoever. So I guess nowadays I would just be like looking at someone social media, but she can someone whoever she wants to look at in her mirror that the Beast gives her. Oh, I was a girl with a toy one and then I took it in the bath and I broke it. 00:27:23 Speaker 2: Was it like battery powered. 00:27:25 Speaker 3: It was battery powered because then you press the button and goes like did you do show me the Beast or like different like things from Beauty and the Beast. 00:27:32 Speaker 2: And then would it show you things? 00:27:34 Speaker 3: I think you like lit up underneath, like there was like things that lit. 00:27:37 Speaker 2: Up on the mirror. That sounds nice. 00:27:40 Speaker 3: It's not as nice as that mirror. 00:27:42 Speaker 2: I mean, nothing can be quite as nice as this mirror. Yeah, I mean I would love a mirror that kind of just allowed me to invade people's privacy and just see whatever I wanted. But I'm not Belle, she's nosy. Mirrors. Yeah, kind of these fairy tales kind of predicted everything. I mean, let's hand it to them. 00:28:07 Speaker 3: I mean they've handed it to us. If anything, they've handed us the idea and concept of social media and gazing upon. 00:28:14 Speaker 2: Someone who's not there. Are you a big mirror person? Do you like, before you head out for the day, look at yourself in the mirror? 00:28:22 Speaker 1: Oh? 00:28:23 Speaker 3: Yeah, I got I got a mirror specifically to you know, be able to give that last look before you head out the door, make sure you're looking all right. I mean, doesn't love a mirror. 00:28:33 Speaker 2: It's nice to it's just reassuring. 00:28:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, we have some nice mirrors around my house. We have like some tinted mirrors. We have a giant mirror, Like I have a mirror that's literally like the size of a door that I got for like twenty dollars out of flea market. It was amazing, and then just like some other two toned mirrors. So I do love a good mirror. 00:28:51 Speaker 2: I like a good you know, like a full body mirror. I don't currently have one since we moved last year, and so there's always just kind of a paranoid that I haven't dressed myself correctly. 00:29:05 Speaker 3: You use your phone? Do you ever do that that person takes pictures of your outfit? Because if you don't have a mirror. 00:29:11 Speaker 2: Oh no, because I feel like the phone camera alters things in such a dramatic way that it would send my paranoia and discomfort even further and be like, what is my body? What is my outfit? Who am I? 00:29:26 Speaker 3: Would you ever hop in a zoom like an empty zoom room to take a look at your outfit? I've done bring my hair using like a photo booth on an Apple computer. If I didn't have a mirror. 00:29:38 Speaker 2: That's I guess that's not a bad idea. I mean, if I ever hop into an empty zoom room to check out an outfit, I think that'll be like the last zoom on planet Earth. That will be the end of time. That seems like a real just things have gone wrong in such a horrible way, and the day zoom. 00:29:56 Speaker 3: Room you're in there in alone. Would you have a mirror? 00:30:00 Speaker 2: I guess yeah, after every mirror on Earth has shattered, everyone is dead I'm going to meet the last person on Earth, and I just want to do a quick outfit check. I get in an empty zoom to go meet some person who I guess at that point it's got to be someone we've kind of had the uncomfortable conversation about repopulating, and it's just like, we're going to do this. I better look snappy. 00:30:29 Speaker 3: You better like zoom you ready, Yeah, throw on the top. 00:30:34 Speaker 2: Hat, the top hat which is slightly too small for my giant head. So uh, there's just uh that's going to be I don't know, the final zoom. That's a scary place. That's my next movie. 00:31:00 Speaker 3: Yourself out in a zoom room, walk out to the world being over. 00:31:05 Speaker 2: Are you zooming much these days? 00:31:08 Speaker 3: I mean I'm I'm clearly I'm zooming here. Yeah, I'm zooming still even though I don't want to. It was definitely at the beginning of quarantine, I was definitely one of those people who was like, just like every day I would just zoom everyone. 00:31:22 Speaker 2: Oh wow. Really Like the first few. 00:31:25 Speaker 3: Days of quarantine, I was like, I didn't leave my room for nine days except in the bathroom because my even my roommates were like, aren't you gonna come outside. I'm like, the living room is for the weekend. I wanted to save it and like for a special occasion because I was like, we're gonna be in here for a while, and I was just on zooms. I would just be calling people on Zoom and on FaceTime. That's all I did for the first few days of quarantine, and then I did a bunch of like Zoom shows, which made me lose my soul. 00:31:53 Speaker 2: Of course. Yeah, but now, of course we're in the whatever is happening in the world now, and I'm like, oh, Zoom is never going away. 00:32:03 Speaker 3: Yeah, Delta and Covid will keep Zoom in business for Yeah. 00:32:11 Speaker 2: I am ready and available to vaccinate people. If you need to be vaccinated. I let's set it up. I can find like, I can talk to whoever this person is that Christine got X rayed by. I'm sure he's got some vaccine that I can share. Let's just do it, can we please? I'm my bones are aching at this point. 00:32:34 Speaker 3: A creative like the van a backspan. We could just go around a different neighborhoods and put needles in people. 00:32:41 Speaker 2: Dart guns. Get in this van vac right, I will I am ready to buy a dart gun, fill it with needles and just attack, right you ready? 00:32:53 Speaker 3: Yeah? I got that aim though, so I don't know. 00:32:57 Speaker 2: I'm yeah, we actually I have no idea if I'm a aim or not. Well, now I've got this mirror. I wonder maybe I'll put it up by this top hat, or maybe I'll use it to look at myself with the tap top hat on. I don't know. 00:33:10 Speaker 3: You can smash it. 00:33:14 Speaker 2: Oh, I will not smash the gift. I've gotten in trouble with listeners before because I faked burning a few gifts. They were so people were mad at me. 00:33:24 Speaker 3: What were the gifts that you fake burned? 00:33:26 Speaker 2: Well, for the year anniversary of this podcast, they made a video of me kind of throwing what appeared to be all of the gifts I had ever received into a barrel and setting them on fire. And I guess it was effective enough that there were people reaching out and saying, you know, fuck you, you should have donated those gifts. This is so wasteful. You you know you could have sold those you could. I'm like, do you just believe that everything on TV is real? 00:33:54 Speaker 3: I mean, they must, they must. Maybe they're maybe they're all children who don't know what right. 00:34:01 Speaker 2: It was a joke. The camera stopped and we changed to a different angle. There were no gifts in the barrel burning. I don't destroy. I'm not a wasteful person. 00:34:12 Speaker 3: What if you burn? But if you burn a candle, that'd be fine. 00:34:15 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that would be okay. That's its own you know, that's its own thing. We want to burn a candle. I'm not going to shatter this mirror, and that would be bad luck. Do you believe in Are you superstitious? 00:34:25 Speaker 3: I'm pretty superstitious. 00:34:26 Speaker 2: Really about what in particular? 00:34:29 Speaker 3: Well, I about a lot of things. I think, like I wouldn't like I step on cracks now, but I wouldn't want to shatter a mirror just in case. I am very I do follow astrology like so much. It's so annoying. I once moved to New York off of an astrology reading. A few people have done things like that, right, Oh. 00:34:49 Speaker 2: I have a friend who goes on vacation. She show occasionally on her birthday. Her therapist is like or not for therap I would love her therapist know her like psychic or somebody will like tell her where to be in the world on her birthday. Oh my god, she went on this incredible vacation to like Iceland or something because her psychic said, this is where you need to be on your birthday. 00:35:12 Speaker 3: What if she gets sent to the middle of nowhere. What if your therapist are not a therapist. If my cake is like, go to Kansas, we got to get you to Kansas, and she's just taking vacationing in the middle of America flyover country for the rest of her life. She's funny. It's like Bora Boren, Iceland and Australia. 00:35:31 Speaker 2: She eventually finds out her psychic is just part of the Nebraska tourism board. Yeah, you've got to go back to Omaha. 00:35:38 Speaker 3: If just she had travel agent too, is that what she does with all her clients? That'd be smart. 00:35:44 Speaker 2: That feels like a thing, right, I mean, I think you have just thought of a very good idea travel agency run entirely by the psychic community. 00:35:52 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would think I would. I would do one with astrologies. It would be like all the fire signs need to go to like Fire Island for the birthdays or ever. 00:36:00 Speaker 2: That's a little first thought, Christine. 00:36:05 Speaker 3: I hate to beat it. 00:36:08 Speaker 2: Fire signs to Iceland. 00:36:10 Speaker 3: There we go, we go, that's writing there. 00:36:14 Speaker 2: You're deeply into astrology. You did move to New York or you almost moved to I didn't move. 00:36:19 Speaker 3: To New York. I was only there for like three months before. I hate it and I was like, I gotta go back to LA. It was harder here people, and I'm Canadian, so I was just like the mean people. I took it all personally. I was like, I'm not for this. I need people who are polite, even if it's fake. I just be like, did I piss off this barista? What's going on? 00:36:42 Speaker 2: I'm fully on board with being you know, for the most part, I'm fine with everyone just being fake nice. I don't like the like the like, oh, everyone's real thing. I'm like, I don't need most people being real with me. I need the majority of people I'm interacting with to just be a false sense of polite. I mean, and I'm coming. I guess that's probably also because I'm from Utah, which is kind of the Canada of the United States. Look, people that i'm close to be real with me. I'm happy for you to be real. But my server at a restaurant I don't need you to also be mean to me. 00:37:17 Speaker 3: Yeah. I wish everyone just treated you like a trader Joe's employee, where they're just kind of like are they flirting with me or are they just friendly? I like that. I think that would make everyone's life so much better. 00:37:28 Speaker 2: Right, just like a nice most things should just be easy. I'm fine with that. Okay, So you're superstitious and you're highly sensitive to people being mean to you. 00:37:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm superstitious. Also because my parents gambled a lot, so I feel like that is all kind of like luck stuff. Right. 00:37:46 Speaker 2: Were your parents good gamblers? 00:37:48 Speaker 3: No? Absolutely not. 00:37:49 Speaker 2: No, No, I guess no one's a good gambler. 00:37:52 Speaker 3: Like professional poker players like my parents might lay out a lot of money. Oh yeah, that's fine. 00:37:59 Speaker 2: Right right Yeah, professional poker players, I guess, kind of know how to make money. 00:38:04 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I I've watched a lot of like the world like poker tournaments and stuff, and they those are good gamblers. But poker is the one game where you can apply more than just like luck, you know what I mean. 00:38:16 Speaker 2: There's some level of skill required on and lying and that kind of thing. I guess, do you gamble at all. 00:38:25 Speaker 3: I do. Sometimes I don't as much as I would like to, because like right now, like me and my friend were supposed to go to the casino, but it's kind of like Delta. I'm like, is it is it getting Gilco over some poker? And I wasn't. I've played in a few poker games out here in LA with other comics and stuff. But I do gamble, but not crazily. I don't gamble like every week. I like gambles a year. Only. 00:38:51 Speaker 2: Have you ever won big? 00:38:52 Speaker 3: The biggest thing I did when was like a few hundred dollars. I was playing three card poker and I won, and I hit like they hit like one of the weird things they had where it's like you get like ten times the amount of stuff or the money, and so I won. That's the biggest I want was like a few hundred dollars, but nothing like huge. I want a bike. Well, that was playing an arcade though what arcade games? As a child I spend because my parents were to Vegas all the time. I would hit the arcades. And I won a bike playing darts. 00:39:22 Speaker 2: That's great, that's a big prize. 00:39:24 Speaker 3: It is a big prize. I remember I got on the first start and I paid for ten and I was like, can I have my nine dollars back? 00:39:30 Speaker 2: And they were like no, wait, So were you here from Canada when you won the bike? 00:39:36 Speaker 3: No, I was in flying my parents did to fly. I was in Canada. Yeah, I was in living in Canada and my flat parents would fly to Vegas like every other month. 00:39:45 Speaker 2: And so how did you get the bike back to Canada and. 00:39:47 Speaker 3: Took it on the plane? 00:39:48 Speaker 2: Wow? 00:39:50 Speaker 3: I checked the bike. 00:39:52 Speaker 2: That's incredible. I would love to win a bike. If anyone out there has got a contest where I can win a bike, put me in the raffle. I'm ready to win my bike. 00:40:00 Speaker 3: No, get that bike? 00:40:03 Speaker 2: To win a bicycle? What a dream? 00:40:05 Speaker 3: It was a dream. Yeah. 00:40:07 Speaker 2: Well, look, I think it's time to play a game. Speaking of all of this, I think this is a nice natural transition, and we'd like to keep things smooth. We love a good segue, and this feels perfect. I mean, how often do you get on that nice? I think we're going to play a game called Gift Master. I haven't played it on the show in a minute, and it's nice to keep things fresh. So look, I need a number between one and ten from you seven. Okay, I have to do some light calculating while I'm doing this. You can promote something, you can recommend something, you can do whatever you want. I don't care. I'll be right back. 00:40:41 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I would say I follow me on Instagram because they have no longer no longer of a Twitter, and so Instagram is my only form of social media and I wish more people would follow me. Also, maybe check out Portos Bakery. Delicious. 00:40:59 Speaker 2: Everybody go follow Christine on Instagram And uh, did you say Porto's Bakery? 00:41:07 Speaker 3: Yeah? 00:41:07 Speaker 2: Never been there. I've always wanted to go. 00:41:09 Speaker 3: You've never been there? You have to go. It's so cheap, it's so good, everything's so fresh, it's amazing. It's in Bourbon Ranking Glendale. They have an in Glendale and they have a few other locations. 00:41:19 Speaker 2: Now, what are you getting there? 00:41:21 Speaker 3: What I'm getting there is I just had. They have a great sandwiches too, which but the bakery is everything's amazing, Like their the Chanslatetic cake is amazing. They have a feta cheese sandwich that sounds weird, but it's. 00:41:32 Speaker 2: Like really good feti cheese sandwich. 00:41:35 Speaker 3: Feta tomato basil, Like, Oh, it's so good, it's so fresh. 00:41:40 Speaker 2: How have I not had this? 00:41:42 Speaker 3: Yeah? The potato balls one of the things that they're. 00:41:45 Speaker 2: Like known for, are they Is it a Cuban bakery. 00:41:49 Speaker 3: It's a Cuban bakery. 00:41:50 Speaker 2: Oh, I've got a what's wrong with me? Look, this is not what we're talking about right now, but I hear a bakery, and I need to just hear a few details. So we got through that. This game is called Gift Master. Listener, I should mention that you can buy gift Master the game, an actual at home card game. You can buy it. You just go to exactly Rightmedia dot com and you click on shop and then you go on in online shoppings where you get the game, You get the I said no gifts T shirt. Whatever you want. It's really up to you. The freedom of the internet, the thrill of shopping, do whatever you need to do. And it's a very fun at home game. But you don't get to play right now because I'm going to play with Christine. This is going to happen on the podcast while we all listen. Now, Christine, this is how gift Master works. I'm going to name three gifts. Three potential gifts you could give to people, experiences, whatever. I'm going to name three celebrities. You're going to tell me which gift you're going to give which person and why? 00:42:50 Speaker 3: Okay, does that make sense? 00:42:53 Speaker 2: You know? You know I start talking in my brain shuts down. I don't I'm explaining things correctly. Okay, let's get into this. Then, the three gifts you'll be giving today, let me clear my throat. Number one, this is an interesting gift. This is a controlling share in wet Seal. Are you familiar with wet Seal the mall store. 00:43:14 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like kind of like surf stuff for middle middle schoolers, right, or clothing. 00:43:22 Speaker 2: It's like clothing. I feel like, I don't know that I've ever even been in a wet Seal. You know, it's a women's clothing store. Feels like kind of I don't know. I can't really speak to what wet Seal has to offer, but I've typed that into my Google doc and that's the gift you'll be giving. I think it's more like clubwear. I feel like it's like, you know, clubby type clothes, but you'll now be have a controlling share in the business or the person. You'll be giving this too. We'll have a controlling share and wet seal. Okay, we've explained. Number two, you'll be giving a lap pool. So that's not a full size swimming pool. That's a I would love a lap pool that gift. I know, swimming is exercise, is wonderful, and a lap pool really feels like an ultimate luxury to me. Now, finally, the third gift you will be giving is a shovel. You're going to be giving a shovel, so that's just you know, your standard garden tool. 00:44:21 Speaker 3: You get a lap pool as a shovel though. 00:44:23 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Interesting, so you're already thinking now you're going to be giving them, giving them to these people. Let me find it here. Okay. Number one you'll be giving it too. Oh, an incredible writer and author Joan Didion. Number two the Riddler. So the Riddler is kind of you know, batman villain loves a riddle, and was you know, kind of portrayed by Jim Carrey, I think. Last, and finally, Trent Reznor of nine Inch Nails and more recently of soundtracking movies. 00:45:04 Speaker 3: Yeah, he does a great job at soundtracking movies. 00:45:07 Speaker 2: He's really had a second chapter soundtracking movies. Yeah, he seems like a good guy. He's kind of in the Tony Hawk camp to me. 00:45:16 Speaker 3: I think so too. Okay, So I think without a doubt, the shovel's going to the Riddler. He can figure out what to do with it. He's been riddling people. I'm gonna riddle him with a fucking shovel of the game I don't want to do with it. He can figure it out. But he's also a villain, so I feel like here probably is more use for it. Joan Didion. Obviously, I'm going to give her a controlling amount of wet seal. I feel like young women are drawn to Joe Didion, so I feel like she would know what to do with his dying brand. I'm assuming it's a dying brand I've you know, I can't even think of the last time I saw a wet seal. I know of them, like I know I've seen them, but I don't know when I saw a wet seal. 00:45:56 Speaker 2: Was to see? Uh, that's an excellent I mean Joan Didion to have Joan Didion books lining the shelves or like at the cash register at a wet Seal incredible. 00:46:07 Speaker 3: Oh my god, Joan Didion themed shirts. I would go back to wet Seal, you know what I mean. I think that would be cool. Just like copies of like what is it? A year of magical thinking and her grief, that'd be I think that'd be a good emotional exploration of those young women. She would bring people back. And then the lap Pool. Tent Resner, you know, I think he could put in the soundtracks in his years and then just do laps. He could come up with more music for me. I know that he's what does he scored? I'm trying to think. 00:46:46 Speaker 2: Look, the Facebook movie is the one that comes to mine. Social network is what calling yes? 00:46:52 Speaker 3: And I know I've he's definitely done a few more. Someone pointed it out to me and I was like, I love this score. They're like, look, Trent Listener. 00:46:58 Speaker 2: And Alisa's telling me that he just did Soul the Pixar movie. He's all over the place. He's movie. 00:47:04 Speaker 3: And also, what a great gift to someone who's provided some great scores to us. Yea tent Resnor gets the lap pool. 00:47:11 Speaker 2: I think that's great. Now let me ask you. You're saying, can you listen are there waterproof earbuds that you can swim in? 00:47:19 Speaker 3: I think there are the imagine training as a swimmer to nothing, oh just the splashsh bottom of a pool and it's completely quiet. It doesn't got to be waterproof earbuds for sure. It sounds like someone's just afraid to be alone with their own thoughts. Christine, Is that what I'm hearing? That's that's definitely me I feel. But also I feel like if you're swimming in the lap pools soundtracks, I feel like would be perfect for that. 00:47:53 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, or you know, you throw on you know, nine inch Nails, greatest hits and the Riddler is going to be shoveling away and Joan Didion will be doing whatever you can with what he. 00:48:05 Speaker 3: Revives the brand. I think that's what will happen. I think we should be on the whole. We should be on a horn with her right now, figuring out how we can figure out that collab. I RL in your life. 00:48:15 Speaker 2: I feel like Wet Didyon name it Wet Didion. 00:48:20 Speaker 3: Wet Joan. But we have our a dunk tank. 00:48:29 Speaker 2: I would love to dunk Joan Diddy. I've never been in a I've never been in a dunk tank. That's another I feel like this episode, I'm like thinking of new life goals that I could get into, and I would love to be in a dunk tank. That seems like a lot of fun to me. 00:48:43 Speaker 3: I was asked to be like in a dunk tank for something, and I forget. I think it was like scheduling. I couldn't be in it. 00:48:50 Speaker 2: You were too busy for the tank. 00:48:52 Speaker 3: It was like. It was also like I think it was like a dunk tank of like mountain dew. It's like something. 00:48:57 Speaker 2: It was like, oh it was. 00:48:58 Speaker 3: It was a mixture of things, but I remember being offered. I was unavailable at the time, as in weird that video, I'm sure. 00:49:05 Speaker 2: Well, if anyone out there has a dunk tank laying around, I'm ready to be dunked. I'm ready to win a bike. I'm I'm available for almost anything at this point. Okay, Well, this is the part of the podcast called I Said No Emails. People write into I Said No Gifts at gmail dot com. Every one of them needs help with something or they want to share some problem they've got, and they unload on me and the guest, and then we do our best to help them. Can you help me answer some questions? 00:49:33 Speaker 3: Oh, I would love to offer advice to stranger. 00:49:38 Speaker 2: Okay, let's start with this one. This is hello, guest and dearest Bridger. Oh, this is interesting. They usually say Bridger first, so I feel like second, second priority here, which is not a great feeling. I am desperate for your help. My wife and son share a birthday. I do love this coincidence, but I'm panicking, and I'm sure of what to do for their first and thirtieth birthdays. Okay, these are both milestone birthdays and deserving of something special, a joint party, a cocakee, smashing jewelry. My wife enjoys cycling and being active, and my son likes to watch us vacuum and play with his blocks. I have no idea what to do. All I know is I want to do something worthy of this special day. Thanks so much, Matt. Okay, this is an interesting scenario. First of all, he hasn't really He says, you know, thirtieth and first birthdays. We don't even know who is who. Apparently they both love jewelry. There's some you know, some clarity could help here. First thought is one of them's got to go. Maybe it's time to just either divorce or put the baby up for adoption. That solves your problem almost immediately off the island. Put the baby in a basket and push it to see But in the case that he's wanting to keep both of these people in his life, what do you give? And what's he saying? What do I do for their joint birthday? That's so I guess it's not really I don't know if Matt, what do you want? Do you want to give suggestion or do you want a party suggestion or do you want birth I'm not a party planning service, I know. 00:51:22 Speaker 3: And it's it seems like he doesn't like he mentioned the blocks and the vacuuming, like that, who's the what are you going to do with that information? I mean, I love the idea of picturing a baby watching someone vacuum. Maybe for both of their birthdays they got a deep, deep cleaning of their house, gets to watch someone vacuum and maybe move some blocks around, and then the wife gets like a very clean house, right right. 00:51:54 Speaker 2: That's great. Off of that, I'll offer the suggestion of like just really like your house go to hell, just garbage everywhere. Then you invite your closest friends and family, all these people over. They get there and they're like, something's wrong with Matt's family. Let's help them. Suddenly everyone's pitching in, they're vacuuming, they're mopping, their cleaning, the counters, the baby's going crazy. The wife who's like, why has Matt allowed our life to fall into such disarray? Suddenly things don't seem so bad anymore, and it's her thirtieth birthday and it seems like maybe things will turn around. 00:52:31 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that sounds great. I think that's like the perfect solution. But also the week's leading up to just letting your house go to hell. What a joy. The baby will love that. Well, you don't go to clean off after a baby. That's the gift of the wife not having to clean up after any rights come in and do it. 00:52:50 Speaker 2: I mean, if those two things don't work out, it sounds like maybe get like matching chunky necklaces, chunky jewelry for baby and mom. 00:52:58 Speaker 3: I got it a play where you can hold your ear rings like an earring holder that isn't mobile. 00:53:05 Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's great. That's really a smart thing. So it's kind of like a rotating thing with little hooks that you hang off your jewelry on, and then you know, you know, you always know what your jewelry is. The baby is always reminded of the jewelry wearing parent. I don't see anything wrong with that. 00:53:23 Speaker 3: I mean, aside from choking Hazard's like the baby can figure that out afterwards, though right now I can't. 00:53:28 Speaker 2: I can't, you know, like be out here protecting babies at all times. I'm just helping my guests think of business opportunities that will eventually lead to some sort of class action lawsuit either against them or well probably against them. Christine, I'm sorry for your future legal troubles. Let's answer another question. I'm very on top of this today and I'm proud of myself. This one says, let's see hello to Bridger and dishonorable guest. Okay, interesting, they're kind of just digging at you. My apologies here. I am begging for guidance. My younger sister just graduated college and is moving to Spain for a year. I haven't bought her a graduation present or birthday present yet, but I want to give her something that will be meaningful when she moves. But of course it can't be too big, since she's packing light. It sounds like her problem. I'm torn between shelling out some money for a nice pair of shoes or a bag that she can keep forever, or just giving her cash or a different option. So it sounds like anything. That's what I'm hearing, any ideas. She's a strict vegetarian, love survivor and is allergic to latex. I don't know why that's okay. In parentheses, I don't know why this felt necessary to include, well, okay, we're not going to Latex is off the menu for present. Thank you, and I'm sorry I called your guests dishonorable. Okay, so there's your apology. That's from Katie in North Carolina. Katie's sister cannot have anything with latex, so just you know, throw all those ideas out the window. There's a bag on the table, there's money, there's shoes, and then there's also, as mentioned, a different option, which means anything. 00:55:15 Speaker 3: I'm an often I like to give, and it's just like you give someone like a coffee mug with your face on it so that they don't forget you. In your sister's moving away, she's afraid it's a gift that every time she sees the mug she'll think of her sister. 00:55:28 Speaker 2: Just that's a that's a nice little You love a custom gift? I love I love custom gifts. Yes, absolutely, Christina has an excellent custom gift option. Put your face on it and uh send her off to Spain? Is that where you said you were she was going? She's going to Spain for a year. I will also say Christina earlier on the podcast said that she was able to get a bike on a plane with relative ease. 00:55:55 Speaker 3: In a box. 00:55:56 Speaker 2: Right in a box. I feel like that's not a bad idea. This person's going to Spain for a full year. Spain feels like a place you would love to be on a bike. Maybe it's time to rethink your stupid ideas for shoes or a bag. We don't want that, We want a bike. We want a mug. Katie. I'm sorry that I said your ideas were stupid. That was, you know, there was just I was lashing out against something and maybe it was you calling Christine dishonorable and that was just kind of boiling over for me. And I apologize. But you do have your answers. Bike and mug. Maybe you could get your face on the bike as well. I don't know if that's a possibility. 00:56:38 Speaker 3: And you have a spot where you can put the mug on the bike. 00:56:42 Speaker 2: Oh, very nice. Everyone loves like a piping hot hot cup of coffee while riding a bike. Best wishes to you, Katie, and happy birthday and congratulations to sister Latex Free. We've answered these questions, Christine in the I mean it almost felt like we had rehearsed. I mean it felt like we had done months of planning and have just now kind of stepped on stage and accomplished in this in the best way possible. 00:57:15 Speaker 3: We're naturals. 00:57:16 Speaker 2: We're naturals. 00:57:16 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's we're naturals. I'm giving advice about gifts. 00:57:19 Speaker 2: I think I'm looking at myself in this mirror you had in me, and I'm saying, good for you, good for both of us, Christine, Thank you so much for being here. I had a wonderful time, and now I have this gift that's just going to be. I can see if there's anything in my teeth, and then remember who I. 00:57:35 Speaker 3: Am mm hmmm, someone who hates gifts. 00:57:38 Speaker 2: Someone who hates gifts but loves a glance in the mirror, m something we can strive for. We can all strive for it. Well, thank you for being here, and listener, thank you for being here, Thank you for you know, listening to the full podcast. If you had cut out halfway, who knows you would have lived with the mystery of what the last half of the podcast was, and then that would have haunted you to the grave. And no one wants to be haunted. So the podcast is now over and you can move on with your day and hopefully you'll be back next week and the week after and we'll grow old together.
