1
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear.

2
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: But you're a guess to my home. You gotta come

3
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: to be empty. And I said, no guests, your presences, presents,

4
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: and I already had too much stuff. So how did

5
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: you dare.

6
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: To surbey mean, welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm

7
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: Bridger Wineker. I hope everything is going well in your life.

8
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: I things are going pretty well for me. I had

9
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: a breakfast burrito for lunch and then chicken fingers for dinner,

10
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: and I just have kind of a cloud in my

11
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: brain and I feel beautiful. And I drove past Linoleum

12
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: City earlier and was just thinking, we need to get

13
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: the word city back in business titles. Every business should

14
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: be blank city. So if you're planning to open a

15
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: business soon, keep that in mind. With all that said,

16
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: I'm so excited. I'm thrilled about my guest, Andrew Mashan. Hello,

17
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: welcome to the show.

18
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: Cold. I just start with something that you probably will

19
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 3: not expect. Of course, I have bought stuff from Linoleum City.

20
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: You're a kidding.

21
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: It was.

22
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: Flooring. I did buy flooring from lino. Oh, this is amazing. YEA,

23
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: when it was like maybe six months ago, maybe eight

24
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: months six to eight months ago, all right, and what

25
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: sort of flooring did you buy? I bought cork flo

26
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: lowering squares for my camper van. Oh beautiful. I didn't

27
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: know you owned a camp Yeah. It is my little

28
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: secret and fully exposed. No. Yeah, I got a campra

29
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: van sometime last year for camping and surfing, and I

30
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: put wood floors in and have you kind of retrofitted.

31
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: The whole thing is a little It's pretty. It was

32
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 3: pretty good to go. It's a nicety. It's not I mean,

33
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: I spent a lot of money. It's like a giant expense.

34
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: It's a nineteen ninety three eurovans. Oh I love a eurovan.

35
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so it was like it felt pretty fresh,

36
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: and yeah, were fresh, but they have everything.

37
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: It's already all set up. So it has a bed

38
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: up top as a pop top with the bed up top,

39
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: then the bottom seats fall down into a bed. The

40
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 3: only thing I didn't like was the carpet. You know,

41
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 3: it was thirty years old, probably smelled a little. Yeah,

42
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 3: it was a little you know, worse for wear. So

43
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: I went to Linoleum City and I was deciding between

44
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: either the linoleum rollout or some square tiles, and I

45
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: got the cork square tiles. And what was the deciding factor.

46
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: I had read some stuff about the cork that it

47
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: is like sound dampening for the road, oh and insulating

48
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: for heat and coolness. Oh yeah, you're gonna need that one.

49
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: You're gonna need that. So I mean, because I've driven

50
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: by the Linoleum City for years, of course I love Linolam City.

51
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: It's the best name for a business all of Los Angeles.

52
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: My friend was moving here and she had helped me

53
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 3: pick up the cork flooring from Anoleam City. She's moving

54
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: here from New York and she kept being like she

55
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 3: was sending me apartments is shoes again and She's like,

56
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: this one's pretty close to Thellollam City. If that's a

57
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 3: selling port, it's the heartbeat of the city. Yeah. Like well,

58
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: I that's like a score on the website walkability to

59
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: Linoyam City, your morning trips to Linoleum City. And I

60
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: gotta say they were very nice there. It did good

61
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: business inside of Linoleum City. Did it feel like Linoleum City?

62
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: It really does. I Mean there are just rows and

63
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: rows of different types of Linoleum klians you didn't even

64
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: know existed, and there's lots of activity. It's a buzz

65
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: with a city scapees amount of activity and it really

66
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: is a nice place.

67
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I that building Linoleum City, and then also the

68
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: condemned sears on Santa Monica Boulevard to buildings that are

69
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: kind of goals for me to get into the city.

70
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: You can go in it. It's probably not like trash

71
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: heaps and raccoons. They will definitely treat you like they

72
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: treated me, which is like, do you want to be

73
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 3: in Linoleum City, Like, yeah, I do, and I like

74
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: some stuff and they're like okay, but they were cool.

75
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: They let me borrow like ten samples to take to

76
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 3: my van to see how it looks. This feels much

77
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: better than what you would get at like a home

78
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: deep Oh yeah, exactly. They were. They were good. They're

79
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 3: specializing in Linoleum. They got lots of options. So if

80
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: you need new floors or just want to put some

81
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: floors on your walls, I don't know, whatever you want

82
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: to do.

83
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: Right, go to the city and are they doing carpet,

84
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: are they doing wood floors or is it strictly Linoleum.

85
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 3: It's actually really messed up you to ask that.

86
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: Of course, well, observer, and I'm just gonna pry and

87
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pose.

88
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: Wow, the fact that you think that Linoleum City would

89
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: sell carp it is disturbing.

90
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: Well, look, I don't think it's disturbing because I think

91
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: Linoleum City, if anyone there has half a brain, they're

92
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: gonna want to sell some other other flooring options.

93
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 3: No, I don't know. I don't think so we only

94
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 3: exists anymore. I feel like that's the big question. And

95
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 3: what I bought is technically not Linoleum, right, so they

96
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 3: have different flooring options that I don't think they have

97
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: regular hardwood flowing. But I could be wrong.

98
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, now, don't take this the wrong way. But

99
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: of course you own a camper man, I feel like

100
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: you live a lifestyle, kind of a breezy lifestyle where

101
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: you're going to be out camping and surfing this sort of.

102
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. So basically I used to camp all I grew

103
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: up in Colorado and I camped a lot growing up. Actually,

104
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: when we moved to Colorado, I was nine years old

105
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: and I live in the Bay Area, and then my

106
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: mom moved me and my two siblings to Colorado, and

107
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: I don't think this was communicated to us, but we

108
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 3: packed up everything, drove to Colorado and then did not

109
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: have a house and camped for three months. Wow, it

110
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 3: was really bizarre. Were you in your mom's car? No,

111
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: So we were in a My mom had bought property

112
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: in the eighties in rural Colorado and so in the

113
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: middle of mountains. So we went to that property and

114
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: they built a teepee, like some company came. I don't

115
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: know how it was possible. They built a teepee and

116
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: we lived in the teepee just like a circular, you know,

117
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: twenty foot across tepee for three months. And it was

118
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: one of the most formative periods of my life. Actually,

119
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: I can only imagine. Yeah, I mean, what time of

120
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: year was This is summer, So this is like I graduated.

121
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 3: I didn't graduate. I finished third grade, graduated, and then

122
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: I before the summer before fourth grade, I moved to Colorado.

123
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: And yeah, we lived in the middle of the woods.

124
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: It was really interesting, you know. It was like I

125
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: look back on it and it was I mean, I

126
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 3: don't know how I didn't like die. It was very dangerous,

127
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: like bears would come and eat our food in the

128
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: middle of the night, which was like twenty feet from our teepee.

129
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: This is crazy. We would wake up and our whole

130
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: campsite would just be disheveled, and there'd be bear tracks

131
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: and like food would be out of their containers. And

132
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 3: you know, I had, like my cousin a three wheeler,

133
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: which I don't even think they make those. An that's

134
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 3: a very dangerous It's like it's like a strike that

135
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: is that is motorized. And I remember driving it around

136
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: and I just went on some big jump and then

137
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: fell completely on the ground and like cracked my teeth.

138
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: And I got Rocky Mountain fever from a chip. Had

139
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: Rocky Mountain really, Yes, from a tick that I got

140
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: in Scout camp. We're probably the only two people in

141
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: comedy had Rocky Mountain fever. Everybody else got lime disease.

142
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 3: Was it brutal for you?

143
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: It was breathingly bade, and it was it was a

144
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: weird thing where it would go away for a minute

145
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: and then it would come back.

146
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: It was the sickest I've ever been. Yes, it was

147
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: like one hundred and three degree temperature for like a week.

148
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: Street yeah, so I'm sure my mom was like, well,

149
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: I'm going to lose on It felt like that. And

150
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: I'm in the middle of this teepee and I'm just

151
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: sleeping in like a cot and I'm just hallucinating like crazy,

152
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 3: thinking there's voices around me. It was a really bad

153
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: It's like the absolute worst flu you could possibly It's unbelievable.

154
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: Where was the tick? I don't know. I think I

155
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: just I think just on my head or something. I

156
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: don't know, do you have a specific No, it was

157
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: in the head. I'm always just curious because stick smoke,

158
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, I think that's where they like to hang.

159
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So I got Rocky Mountain fever. And then

160
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: one really funny thing is like, you know how kids

161
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: have like lemonade stands and stuff. So I had a

162
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: my cousin and I started a lemonade stand. But this

163
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: where we lived was I'm talking the middle of a mesa.

164
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: There's not houses for forty minutes. Like, it's a dirt road.

165
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: There's no one in any direction. There's like you know,

166
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: there's there's no infrastructure, there's no other roads are dirt.

167
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 3: But there were a lot of mountain bikers who would

168
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: bike on this road. So my friend and I, MyD

169
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: my cousin, I would set up our little lemonade stand

170
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 3: just like right on that road. So maybe these mountain

171
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 3: bikers who were like in the middle of a twelve

172
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: hour bike ride, there's just two surreally, they would be like,

173
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: what do I even have cats? Like it was and

174
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 3: we made a lot of money because every single person

175
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: who stopped is just like, I haven't seen someone in

176
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 3: six hours. I'd like to talk to you.

177
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: So we made a lot of money sung lemonade. And

178
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: let me ask the food situation. While you were living

179
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: in the TP where was the food coming from?

180
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: So my you know, the nearest town wasn't extremely far.

181
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: It was about an hour away, so it wasn't like

182
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: it was impossible to go to the store. So we

183
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 3: would drive to, you know, the nearest town once a

184
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: week to get supplies. We had a propane refrigerator and

185
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 3: we would cook what we're referred to back then as

186
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 3: hobo stews, so my family called it. We just make

187
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 3: like take ground meat and a bunch of vegetables, put

188
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: it in tinfoil and then like pack it, fold it up,

189
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: and then.

190
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: Throw it in the fire, right and I still do

191
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: that to this day. I know it's a delicious I'm

192
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: always maybe it's because when you're camping you're hungry already,

193
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: but it always tastes incredible.

194
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

195
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so okay, you were there for three months

196
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: and then your mom was.

197
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, then we had to go to school, and

198
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: so you know, it's interesting to have moved to a

199
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: town and I didn't know anyone because we didn't move

200
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: into our rental house until the day before school started. Sure,

201
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 3: so I didn't know a single kid. It's a very

202
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: small town. It was tell you ride, Colorado is where

203
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: I went to high school and stead I went to

204
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 3: middle elementary school. And yeah, so you know, there's twenty

205
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: twenty kids in the fourth grade class. It's like not

206
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: a bit cool and I'm the new one.

207
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 2: Wow.

208
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

209
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: And let me ask you your what was your dad's

210
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: thought on you all living in the TP Yeah?

211
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 3: So he was he him. My parents split up when

212
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: I was very young, so he didn't like us moving

213
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 3: in general, right, he was against it, but my mom

214
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: really wanted to move and she wanted to be out

215
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: of California and her family was in Colorado. So I

216
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 3: don't think he loved it. Okay, I don't really remember

217
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 3: talking to him much that summer. Yeah, but I still

218
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: have a relationship and everything.

219
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: It's just yes because so you yeah, we'll get into it.

220
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 2: But you recorded a podcast at as well recently. Yeah.

221
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but where's the TP now? So there is you know,

222
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 3: It's funny, is I haven't been to this property and

223
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 3: you know, maybe ten years, if not longer than that. Actually,

224
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: I think two thousand and eight was the last time

225
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: I went. And over that summer we built a cabin,

226
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: so my all my cousins and my grandparents and stuff.

227
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: It was a really amazing time. It was like all

228
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 3: my family was just doing it up and Colorado was

229
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 3: really nice wildlife and we built so they built a cabin.

230
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 3: So that cabin is done, but is they s it

231
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: is the shell of a cabin. There's not there's no electricity,

232
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: there's no it's not finished, and it's been unfinished for

233
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: you know, that was over twenty years ago, so it's

234
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: been unfinished for a long time. My mom just never

235
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: got around to finishing it. Other stuff came up right,

236
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: and so I hadn't been there a long time. And

237
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: then my friend's comedians Musha Kasher and Natasha Giro. Yes,

238
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: they were going to Colorado. They were on like a

239
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: Mosha has An RV and he encouraged me to get

240
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 3: my van and stuff. He's a good friend, and so

241
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: they were driving through Colorado and they were like, oh,

242
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: we just need a place to park our van in

243
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: southwestern Colorado or RV. I was like, we can go

244
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 3: to my property. And I hadn't been there a long time. Yeah,

245
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 3: I hadn't been there in a long time. And they

246
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,119
Speaker 3: went and they said it was like everything was extremely overgrown.

247
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: I couldn't even tell where the road was. There was

248
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 3: there was a bear eating a deer cargets and they

249
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 3: got really scared and they like turned around and left

250
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 3: shut up in the middle of the night and they

251
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: couldn't get their bearings in the morning. There was like

252
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 3: a it was like a whole situation. And he was like, dude,

253
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: not good to like people go there. It's like I

254
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: didn't know well, But also not your fault. There are

255
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: plenty of other options. Yeah, yeah, come on, yeah, yeah,

256
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 3: So that's I think it's not quite maintained. At this point.

257
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: I mentioned that you recorded a podcast. Oh at your

258
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: dad's wedding you obviously co host podcast but outside.

259
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do a podcast outside where my friend Colehurst

260
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 3: and I interview strangers on the sidewalk. How long have

261
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: you been doing that for? Like thirty years or something.

262
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: It's been a while, No, a year. We've watched you

263
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 3: grow up. Yeah, yeah, it's been a year. So we

264
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: just set up a little card table on the sidewalk

265
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: and just talk to anyone who walks by. There is

266
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: no barrier to entry. Anyone's willing to sit down. Sure,

267
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 3: and you recorded one today. I did do one today.

268
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: You mentioned something earlier. Is this something you can talk

269
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: about it?

270
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: I think so. I think it'll probably have already come

271
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: out by the time this episode aired. So basically today

272
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: we had a great time. We're on Santa Monica Boulevard

273
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: in West Hollywood and at the end of the episode,

274
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 3: this woman came by and she was an older woman

275
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: wearing like a shirt that said Palm springs a full

276
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: She had a wheelchair, but her dog wasn't it but

277
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 3: she well the dog needed it, Well the dog didn't

278
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: is the crazy thing. It was a full human sized

279
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: wheelchair that she was pushing and her dog, who was

280
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 3: one year old, like a puppy was in it, and

281
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: I was kind of trying to get a sense of it.

282
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: She said that she broke her knee falling on a

283
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 3: dog toy, So okay, the wheelchair was for her, but

284
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: she could walk. It was confusing then, so she was

285
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: rewarding the dog for break. Yeah right, exactly, she was

286
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 3: giving him a load off. So she walks down the

287
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: street and she said so and talks with us. She

288
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: was amazing, probably the best guess we could ever get

289
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 3: on our show, just like, oh, this is a woman

290
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: who grew up in La and lived in Tokyo for

291
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: twelve years and she was just incredible guests in every way.

292
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: That's like the exact thing that we want. The whole

293
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 3: point of our show is like to talk to folks

294
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: who are otherwise not on podcasts, you know, yeah, right,

295
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 3: I love podcasts. I listen to plenty. A lot of

296
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: my friends have them and are on them. But you know,

297
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: it's mostly people in entertainment and you know, actors and writers,

298
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 3: and it's cool to just talk to some random woman

299
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 3: who has who isn't in that world. Yeah, So that's

300
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 3: kind of the point of it. So anyway, she to

301
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 3: be a musician, and blah blah blah, and then we're

302
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 3: like done with the interview and then we're like, all right,

303
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: we're gonna pay you a dollar. We pay I guess

304
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: a dollar. We're gonna pay you a dollar. And then

305
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 3: she's like, well, can I say some dirt and we're like, yeah,

306
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: I guess, and then she tells like a ten minute

307
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: story where she basically me toos Gene Simmons from Kiss

308
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I'm wondering if we could err it

309
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 3: or not. I think we can, but it's great. It's

310
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 3: wildly Yeah. I mean I feel like you can with

311
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: Gene Simmons. We're all assuming something's been going on. Yeah.

312
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: The basic story is like she was in La and

313
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: then she was a musician and she was like moving

314
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: to New York for some job and a friend was like, oh,

315
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: hang out with my friend Jean. Here's his number. She

316
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 3: goes to New York. She calls up Gene. She doesn't

317
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: know who she is, and then she I think she

318
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: knew his name was Jean Simmons, but she didn't know

319
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 3: I'm or his music for whatever reason, but he was

320
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: famous at the time. And then she goes, it's just

321
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: she just told me today. So she goes to you know,

322
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: meet him. He's like, well, meet me on Madison Avenue

323
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: and whatever street. You know. She goes there, she's waiting

324
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: and then a limo pulls up, and then a guy

325
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: opens the door and gets out and he's like, hey, Michelle,

326
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: and she's like, oh, Jean Jean Simmons. And he's like,

327
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: no one knows what I look like without my makeup.

328
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: That's what he said. What year it was, I don't know.

329
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: It was a long time ago. She was old.

330
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: I kind of like to think that this was twenty eleven,

331
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: right right, yeah, Simmons.

332
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: Anyway, and then so she gets in a limo. He's like, okay,

333
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: let's go to my apartment. She goes to his apartment.

334
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: She goes inside, and you know, she's she stands. She's like,

335
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: it's really nice in there. It's beautiful. And he's like, oh,

336
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'll be right back. I'm gonna go I

337
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: don't know. He just goes away from my makeup. Yeah

338
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 3: whatever exactly. So he walks away, and then she's looking

339
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 3: around the apartment and she sees all these picture frames

340
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: that are like face down, and she's like, what's going

341
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 3: on here, and so she lifts one up and it's

342
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: a photo of Share and it's like a personal photo.

343
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: It's like showing him and Share hanging out. She's like,

344
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: that's kind of interesting. And then she lifts up another

345
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 3: one and it's a I don't know who another famous

346
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: musician I does have these sound like cards. It's like

347
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: he's hiding his family. I don't know. And then and

348
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: then oh, the plan was they were going to get dinner.

349
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: That was the plan. They're going to get dinner. She

350
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: doesn't know anyone in town. She does, no one in

351
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: New York. So then he's like, he goes, Michelle, come

352
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: in here, and she's like, okay, and she says she

353
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: walks into his bedroom and he's he's sitting on his bed,

354
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 3: fully naked, his tongue out. She said it was really long.

355
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: I mean, this whole story this is it's so his

356
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: tongue is out, and she's like, what are you doing?

357
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: And he's like, come on, Michelle, you know you want

358
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: it what And she says, I just wanted to eat dinner.

359
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: And he says, I'll be the appetizer. This cannot be true.

360
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: I think it's true. And then she I mean, actually

361
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: it probably is one hundred percent. And then she ran

362
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: out of the apartment and never saw him again. Jeez, women,

363
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: that's probably that feels, you know.

364
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: I mean, this is obviously an allegation for legal reasons,

365
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: but Gene Simmons, I tend to believe the stranger you

366
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 2: met on.

367
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 3: Santa Monica Ball. I'd love to just do the podcast

368
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: circuit in LA getting the story about Gene Simmons out there,

369
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: still trying to get every podcast sued by people move

370
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: on to ace freely. I'm just, oh, wow, that's so.

371
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 3: I don't know, it isn't an allegation. Okay, who knows.

372
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: But then I looked at his Wikipedia tonight, and he

373
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 3: claims that he has slept with five thousand women, Right,

374
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: he's one of these men who's had sex with sure

375
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: have the plan. You know, it's not the worst thing.

376
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 3: It's not like, you know, it's not the worst allegation.

377
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 3: But you know, it sounds like he just had no

378
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 3: boundaries and thought that everyone wanted to sleep.

379
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: Yes, And I mean, that is extremely weird to me.

380
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: But I'm still the biggest mystery to me is just

381
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: a lot of photos face down. I don't know what

382
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: he's doing in his apartment. Well, I think he just

383
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: didn't want like this girl to know that there were

384
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: other girls. And I was like, I don't know, really,

385
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: you can't guess with Gane.

386
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 3: No, he's a wild guest. Well, yeah, that's that's the

387
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: point of our show. It's a beautiful show. I really

388
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: love Yes. So this is what I like about the show.

389
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 3: So we did one at my dad's just to finish

390
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: your yes. My dad got married to a woman I

391
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 3: had never met before, and I was like, well, I

392
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: don't really and it was like, you know, a month

393
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 3: before the wedding, they had met her six months earlier.

394
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: It was a pretty fast thing. And I was like, well,

395
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: I would love to do my podcast at their wedding,

396
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 3: and I would love to not meet her until the podcast.

397
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: So I asked my dad. I was like, actually, I

398
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: put it on Instagram. I just like got an Instagram story.

399
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: I was like, is it rude to ask my dad

400
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: if I can do my podcast at his wedding? And

401
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 3: the consensus was it was okay. So I showed up.

402
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 3: You know, I called my dad and I was like, Hey,

403
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: would it be weird if we did a podcast and

404
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: he's like he's like, I thought that'd be awesome. It

405
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: seems like he was reading and they asked his wife

406
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: or his wife to be and she was okay with it.

407
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: So basically we went to the wedding set up her

408
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 3: table and we interviewed anyone who walked by, like my family,

409
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: random members of her family, different business associates with my father.

410
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 3: It was awesome, and then the ceremony happened, and then

411
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 3: we did like another fifteen minutes with him and her

412
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 3: and as his new bride, yeah, bride to be my

413
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: new mom. And I interviewed her for the first time

414
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 3: and met her for the first time, and it was awesome.

415
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 3: And I've since hung out with her a few times

416
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 3: and she's great.

417
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was of course at the live show and

418
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 2: in her wedding dress, right, and it seems like she's

419
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: into us.

420
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 3: She seems she's awesome, and he's so happy. It's the

421
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: happiest I've ever seen him. And it is a really

422
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 3: cool thing, you know, to be part of. And we

423
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 3: do do weddings now, yeah, you're now like a wedding band.

424

427
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 3: that is, but if you think about it, it's better

428
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: than photos, you know, because it's all It's ways better.

429
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 3: I think it's Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, you know,

430
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: we just talked to people on this day about their

431
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 3: relationship to the couple. We talked to the couple and yeah,

432
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: it's kind of an exciting memento to have of the wedding.

433
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 3: Of course, so we do do weddings.

434
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,520

Speaker 2: or I do like chaos.

Speaker 3: I love board games and stuff like that. So I

439
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,040

00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 3: known you as a friend. And then I listened to

461
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 3: just the little two minute introduction you did. Oh sure,

462
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 3: just for listeners. Were recording this before any episodes of it.

463
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 3: This is the magic of kind of Hollywood. Yeah, so

464
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: I listened to you a little two minute introduction, and

465
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 3: I was like, damn, his voice is nice. I was

466
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 3: thinking that, you know, I was thinking, oh, this is cool,

467
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: Like I really liked it.

468
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: Well, God bless, I mean, I held that somebody. I

469
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: hope it's a soothing tone for someone. It is I've

470
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: had a weird like, probably twice a year, I'm asked

471
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: if I'm from another country, which is very odd to me,

472
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: and then some people don't hear it at all. I

473
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: worked at the Apple Store maybe fifteen years ago or something,

474
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: and that was a more frequent thing, maybe once every

475
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: two weeks someone was wondering if I was from out.

476
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 3: Of the country.

477
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 2: And I have never found an answer to why.

478
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 3: People think that. Did you figure out where they thought

479
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 3: you were from? No?

480
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: Nobody ever had a guest well country, do you even

481
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: think I'm coming from this fictional land you've come up for?

482
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 3: Uh?

483
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: But I need to speak to some sort of linguists

484
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: or something and just ask what the deal is?

485
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Well, you know what. The deal

486
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: is smooth and good. The deal is smooth. It is.

487
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 2: The podcast is called I said no gifts. Yeah, Andrew,

488
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: I disobeyed. You disobeyed me absolutely. I gave you a rule.

489
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 3: I know. I'm just like you said, I thrive on care. Yeah,

490
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: it feels like you're just an age of see a rule.

491
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 3: I'm breaking that ship. What can I say?

492
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: And you've brought this gift it's in this kind of

493
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: shiny red paper. Yeah, do you want me to open it?

494
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think that would be best. I did wrap

495
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: it with the intent of being opened, and let's see

496
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: how it says. I will say before I even open this. Uh.

497
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: When we talked about you being the podcast, about a

498
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: week later, you texted me and you said, do you cook?

499
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 2: And then you you were obviously thinking a lot about

500
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: what You're trying to think of what the gift would be,

501
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: and you it was like a seed set or something,

502
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: so you ended up saying you don't cook.

503
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 3: I don't cook. My gifts is deeply embarrassed. The gift

504
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: that I wanted to get was it's basically a sprout tray.

Speaker 3: with these little pouches that have seeds and everything in there.

507
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: And all you do is you put water in the

508
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 3: tray and then you put the little pouch in and

509
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: then sprouts grow within like seven days.

600
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,920

601
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 3: world and your own footprint and the inevitability of the

602
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 3: demise of the planet. It's quite depressing.

603
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 2: It can be very depressing to feel both completely powerless

604
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: and also on some level to have the ability to

605
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: at least change your own being.

609
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 2: switched to metals straws. So this feels like I'm now

610
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: doing two things.

611
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: I almost got you a set of glass straws, but

612
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 3: with glass straws, Now, that seems doubly dangerous. Ye, a

613
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 3: metal straw.

614
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: I'm already, like, I'm just one trip on the sidewalk

615
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: away from this going through the back of my throat,

616
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 2: and a glass straw feels like you're gonna bite it

617
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 2: and it's gonna break in your mouth or I mean maybe.

618
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 3: I mean I do bite my straws pretty hard, you know. No,

619
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 3: I do choose straw.

620
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: But of course I'm not chewing a metal straw, so

621
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 2: I'm probably not gonna What does a glass straw look like?

622
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: Is it like a ceramic?

623
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: Well, it's glass, of course, it's glass. Okay, thank you.

624
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: The ones that the ones that I was going to

625
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 3: buy her like tinted glass, so they're like different shades

626
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 3: of like yellow and orange and pink and oh cool.

627
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: I got them for I got them as gifts over

628
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: the holidays for like my manager.

629
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: Oh sure, that's a nice little gift. I guess I

630
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: did give somebody Pat Walsh for his wedding. I gave

631
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: him reusable straws. So it's a good little gift.

632
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: You know, everyone needs it.

633
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean more and more places are obviously abandoning

634
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 2: the plastic straw. But and I'm fine with a paper straw.

635
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: But now we've shifted to the weird. And I drink

636
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: a lot of ice coffee the weird like sippy cup. Yeah,

637
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: do you have any feelings on the sippy cup?

638
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: Well, this I brought it like a little drink myself

639
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 3: today that is kind of in a sippy cup. And

640
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 3: do you spill on yourself? No, I'm constantly spilling to

641
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 3: prevent the spill. Not for me.

642
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 2: Do I need to be like sucking it?

643
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: Are you walking down the street scribbling down my chin?

644
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: It's splashing on my T shirt.

645
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: And you're fine with it. But your's this doesn't look

646
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: as uh, this feels, I mean what you have looks.

647
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 2: Let me get a closer look at this. This feels

648
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: you know I would spill on myself. I just don't

649
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: know how to drink.

650
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

651
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: That could be the problem. Maybe I've depended on straws

652
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 2: too long, that's true, and I'm sitting here with a

653
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: plastic straw, I know, which is unfortunate. Have you seen

654
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: the hay ones?

655
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: The hay No? Is it just a piece of hay? Yeah,

656
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that. I like it. They're cool. They're

657
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: really small, so they're not good for anything thick, but

658
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 3: they're pretty cool. Who's using a hay straw? I've seen

659
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: it at bars, like you know, you know, like those

660
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 3: little straws they have in the r right red straw

661
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: those have been I've seen some hay ones lately. I

662
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 3: wouldn't do a hay straw. I've also seen pasta straw.

663
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 3: Oh I've heard about that.

664
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: Well, actually I'm lying, I haven't seen it. I've seen

665
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: it online. Yeah, of course, but it makes perfect sense

666
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: to make a good idea. Okay, so you brought me

667
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: this bag. Yeah, what was the general thinking about them?

668
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: I just thought, you know, it was it's a useful thing.

669
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: I think it's good to give gifts that are useful, right.

670
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 3: I think sometimes you get a gift that is like, Okay,

671
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: this is nice, but what do I do with it?

672
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: It's going to be just put away. Yeah, put away.

673
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 3: And I don't know, I feel like everyone's buying stuff

674
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 3: at some point. No, you don't cook a lot, but

675
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, my grocery. I do buy

676
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 3: some grocery. You get some soy milk in there, some milk. Well,

677
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: I mean a theme of this podcast. As I'm buying

678
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 3: just regularly. You know, I just thought, you know, you're

679
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: gonna need to use a bag. I'm going to take

680
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 3: it up to Albertson. Yeah, and it's and I like

681
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: having a bag that I think looks good. I don't know,

682
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 3: there's something I love a good bag. Yeah, And I

683
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 3: don't understand why more people don't just have bags. Yeah,

684
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: it feels nice to just have a bag that you

685
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 3: I don't know. I like small. I like useful items

686
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 3: that I appreciate, you know. I think like like this,

687
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 3: you know this, this drink that we were talking about earlier,

688
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: this little mug that I have. I just like the

689
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 3: aesthetics of it. When I just like the way something looks,

690
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: I use it more often. I feel more I don't know,

691
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 3: attached to it emotionally. And I like that, you know,

692
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 3: what's in this mug? This is a this is a

693
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 3: different mushroom drinks. Yeah, one for my brain and from

694
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 3: my being awake. Is it it's not moon juicism? No,

695
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: but it's in that realm. Okay, definitely in that realm.

696
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,239
Speaker 3: Does it work? I think so? And because I think so,

697
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 3: then it works? Yeah? Sure, are you making it? I

698
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 3: just heat up water and then I pour the little

699
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: mushroom powder. It's an individual package. And what is the

700
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: general taste is a funky tasting. So this is a

701
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: hot chocolate one chocolate and some mushrooms. Pretty good, and

702
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 3: I have some matri of oat milk in there, a

703
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: little bit of honey. Oh wow, you're really treating yourself, right, Yeah?

704
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: And then you just have a water yeah. And then

705
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: I just have a water which I haven't really cracked yet.

706
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 3: But are these your only two poss Okay? This is

707
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 3: all I have. You're kind of just a hermit cras

708
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 3: this is all I do. Like this bag. I've been

709
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 3: carrying a bag for a while. Now, let's see where

710
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: is my bag has a UFO on it? There was

711
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 3: a reusable bag.

712
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: It's a reusable bag, but it's more of like a

713
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: book bag. It's not for my groceries. It's sort of thing.

714
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: I wanted to find a bag with just a picture

715
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 2: of a like a mansion on it, like a tacky mansion. Impossible.

716
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: I've eventually found one with a manner on it, like

717
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: an English.

718
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: Manner, quite similar.

719
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 2: But then I bought it and everyone thought I it

720
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 2: was Harry Potter merchandise, so that was immediately disposed of.

721
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 2: Well it's not, it's the problem. No, it was just

722
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: like an old English manner, and everyone just thought I

723
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: had gotten to the nnivers and bought a Harry Potter bag.

724
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: So I had to just go in another direction. What

725
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say is find a bag that looks good,

726
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 2: feels good, and you can march around confidently.

727
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 3: Well, I hope this bag does that for you. I

728
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 3: think I'm going to I mean, is this Can you

729
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 3: sling this over your shoulder or how does that? Yeah?

730
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 3: I think you could sling it. I mean you can

731
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 3: give that.

732
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna carry like a

733
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: regular grocery to carry like a grocery bag. It's incredible. Yeah,

734
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: I'll put it in my my purse what's essentially my purse,

735
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: and then when I get to the grocery store. I

736
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 2: take this out and fill it.

737
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 3: With my grocery. That's the idea.

738
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: Where do you do most of your grocery shopping? I

739
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: go to Lassons a lot, Lessons interesting Hill. I have

740
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 2: complicated feelings about last because of.

741
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 3: The gay thing. Yeah, it's there is a gay person

742
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 3: who works there, and everyone's mad about it. That's the

743
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 3: gay thing that we're We're trying to read this guy.

744
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 3: He's making everybody uncomfortable. It's like we're trying to shop. Okay,

745
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 3: I can't be in a space with another gay person.

746
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 3: He's a menace. Apparently the owner, big high up of Lassons.

747
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: It contributes to anti gay costins. Yes, was like a

748
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 3: big prop eight person. But then I read someone who

749
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: made a tweet about like how that Lessons is independently

750
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: owned and operating. Oh is this? Emily Heller tweeted something

751
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 3: about it. Oh, I trust Emily. I've read different things,

752
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 3: and I'm just kind of like, I don't know. I

753
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 3: like the store, right, well, I would like a reason

754
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: to be able to shop there, So maybe I need

755
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: to do some justifying. Yeah, I don't know. It is

756
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 3: bad though, I get that, no, but I guess it's

757
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 3: just difficult I mean, being a consumer, it's hard. And

758
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 3: then I go to the farmer's market a lot.

759
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, I mean are there any other

760
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: places you'd like to shop? Do you feel morally complicated?

761
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 2: I mean Amazon, Amazon, class that one. I mean it

762
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: almost feels impossible to avoid. I mean, I don't know

763
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 2: what to do with that so easy. I mean, what

764
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 2: are you going to do?

765
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 3: You know, you want something, it's there, and then it's

766
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 3: at your house in five minutes ago. What are you

767
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: going to do?

768
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 2: I thought you were I thought you were saying it's

769
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 2: simply so easy just not to shop on It's like, that's.

770
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 3: Probably it's simply so Yes, it's truly. I mean it's

771
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 3: right in front of me. You know, I definitely use it.

772
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do about it. And there's

773
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: not an alternative. I worked for overstock dot com for

774
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 2: a couple of years, and that's not an alternatives. Good.

775
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 3: No, it's not a good website.

776
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So what are you a do when you need,

777
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 2: for example, forty eight batteries?

778
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 3: I know, I'm not going to the store. No, you

779
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 3: got stuff to do.

780
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 2: Although I go to the store all the time, but

781
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: I never buy anything, and then I go home and

782
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 2: buy it on Amazon.

783
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 3: It's just terrible. Plus, I mean my building is just

784
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 3: rife with male thieves, Oh really, stealing things constantly. Sink.

785
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 3: I got something stolen just last week. Oh you're kidding,

786
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 3: what was it? Yeah? I had some AirPods delivered. Oh

787
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: that's a high ticket, iyem, I know, and they just

788
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 3: never showed up. And then I made a claim and

789
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 3: then they're sending me new ones. They're very forgiving with

790
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 3: that sort of thing. Yeah, why didn't I just steal it? Like? Yeah,

791
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 3: on anything you.

792
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: Want listener tip, say your mail was stolen and get

793
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: a duplicate item delivered for pretty easy. And it's from Amazon.

794
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: So when we've already discussed this, sad company. So this

795
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 2: is a socially conscious move. Yes, this is your way

796
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 2: to go green this year. I mean I was thinking

797
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: recently that online shopping has made it. I mean, it's

798
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: kind of making shoplifting obsolete. And there's a thrill to shoplifting.

799
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: So I need to figure out a way to do

800
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 2: that online.

801
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 3: Right like you like, I don't know, you like added

802
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 3: to your cart quick enough? I don't like, quickly push

803
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 3: the button like some weird way or you somehow get

804
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 3: away with it. Yeah, that would feel nice. I like that.

805
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like there's occasionally some glitch on

806
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 2: a website where things are deeply discounted by mistake, and

807
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 2: I guess that might be closing in on shoplifting, right right.

808
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: I feel like I bought a lamp for like a

809
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 2: seventy five percent off on Target by like they had something.

810
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 3: Going wrong with their website, so I got a lamp

811
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 3: for like four dollars or something. Yeah, I guess the

812
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 3: internet does. I don't know, it does take away some

813
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 3: of that intrigue, kind of the mystery mystery of Yeah,

814
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 3: as a teen or I mean maybe as an adult.

815
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 3: I'm not judging adults who shoplift. Have you ever shoplifted?

816
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 3: You know? I never really shoplifted. I mean I would

817
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 3: take like, yeah, I just never did. You know. All

818
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 3: my friends were kind of like bad and I was

819
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 3: a skater kid, and you know, I kind of was

820
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 3: like rolled with that crowd a little bit, but we

821
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 3: never I never shopp left it for some reason. I

822
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 3: just didn't. I just didn't. Yeah, it didn't. I did

823
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 3: try to do a dine and dash once, but it

824
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 3: was a failed what happened. I was just like in

825
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 3: college and I don't know, this's just so funny. I

826
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 3: haven't thought about this in years. I was in college.

827
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 3: My friend and I were just like, you know what,

828
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 3: we're going to do a din and dash, like we're

829
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 3: just going to do it once. I just want to

830
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: try it. We're going to have a nice Italian meal making.

831
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 3: This is just a big goal statement. It was a plan.

832
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 3: So we're like, you know what, we're going to do it.

833
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 3: So we used my dorm room phone, we called a restaurant,

834
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 3: we made a reservation, We showed up. We were like,

835
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 3: wore like nicer clothes than we normally wear, Like everything

836
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 3: about it was like what are we doing? We had

837
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 3: like a really nice, expensive meal. We were all e

838
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 3: turtlenecks and yeah, exactly. We got a bill. We put

839
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 3: the name under like I don't know, some fake name.

840
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 3: I don't even Let's just say it was like, you

841
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 3: know Levitt, like Thomas Leavitt. Let's just say we said that.

842
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 3: I don't remember what we said. And then you know,

843
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 3: we got the nice meal. It was amazing, it was beautiful.

844
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: We got the check. We wrote a little thing on

845
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 3: the check. We wrote we are dining and dashing, but

846
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 3: thank you for the service, here's your tip, and put

847
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 3: twenty dollars down and then we walked out. And then

848
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 3: like I think like two days later, we got a

849
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 3: phone call from like the security office at my college

850
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: and they were like, hey, they called my dorm and

851
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 3: they were like, hey, is mister Levitt there? And we're like,

852
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 3: oh no, And they're like do you know mister Levitt

853
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 3: And we're like, yeah, yeah, he's around here, he's just

854
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: not here right now. And they're like, well, there was

855
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 3: a mister Levitt who made a reservation in a restaurant

856
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 3: from the storm room and then forgot to pay. And

857
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, yeah, I don't know about that.

858
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 3: They're like, yes, the restaurant has called the college and

859
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 3: they want their money. It was deeply embarrassed thing. And

860
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, well i'll tell mister Levitt when

861
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 3: he gets back. I think the security guard like knew

862
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 3: that it was us. So were you Did you ever pay? Yeah?

863
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 3: We ended up in shame going to the restaurant dropping

864
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: off the money.

865
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: It was quite a shameful expense. How did the restaurant

866
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 2: when you went back to the restaurant. How did they

867
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 2: treat you?

868
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 3: Not well, yeah, well like your shitheads or yeah, it

869
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 3: was kind of just like, yeah, I'm sorry we forgotten.

870
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, I'm sure you did. Like it was

871
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 3: like one of those things where you both know the score.

872
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 3: My friend and I just went back in shame and

873
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 3: I never tried it again. Do you remember how much

874
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: you had to pay? It wasn't super expensive. It was

875
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 3: like maybe seventy dollars honestly pretty good tip.

876
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, tip, like solid. I really loved waiter service thirty percent.

877
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, you were more than generous. I'm

878
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: surprised they didn't call in the authorities. I know, I

879
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: you know, we got away with it. You know, maybe

880
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: that's a white privileged thing.

881
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 3: I don't really know. Most likely at the end of

882
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 3: the day, you know, we learned a lesson. I don't

883
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 3: even know why we wanted to do it. It wasn't

884
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: like I think it was just there was like it

885
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 3: was a romantic ideal in or was something romantic. I

886
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 3: don't know. It's just like why not we need those once? Right,

887
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 3: That's what it was, you know, And I've never you know,

888
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 3: as an adult, like I feel like I don't do

889
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 3: anything illegal. Like when I was a teenager. You know,

890
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: I drank when I was young, and I like partied

891
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 3: and like, I just did a lot of dumb stuff.

892
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 3: And now that I'm an adult, I'm kind of like

893
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 3: I don't really ever put myself in situations where I'm

894
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 3: like worried about the law. Yeah. Yeah, that was maybe

895
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 3: one of the last times.

896
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's just the stakes are much higher

897
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 2: here they are. I mean, I would encourage anyone below

898
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: the age of eighteen to just shoplift. Do it everything

899
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 2: you can, because you hit that and suddenly things change.

900
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 2: Were you a shoplifter a little bit. I would shoplift

901
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 2: Like there's like a in Utah. There's a chain of

902
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: thrift stores called Deseret Industries, and I would go there

903
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 2: and steal t shirts and things. But I would also donate,

904
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 2: so I kind of justified being like I'm just.

905
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 3: You know, with it a secondhand store.

906
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, as you said, it's owned by the

907
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: Mormon Church, and it's like a whole thing as we

908
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 2: all are, we're all under the under then of the

909
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 2: Mormon Church. But I would choplift there. I would leave

910
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 2: high school during class and go, you know, put a

911
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 2: T shirt on and then put a T shirt over it,

912
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 2: this sort of thing. And I knew there was a

913
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 2: kid who went in, got a second hand briefcase from

914
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 2: the store or suitcase, and filled it with clothes and

915
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 2: walked out of the store with the entire thing.

916
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 3: So who stole the briefcase?

917
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, the entire thing was stolen. And then I believe

918
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 2: he stole a Burger King employee shirt, which he then

919
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 2: used to find his way behind the counter at a

920
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 2: Burger King and give away a bunch of food. So

921
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: this person was operating on interesting level.

922
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 3: He was just like people would walk up and he

923
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 3: would just it's free today. I think he probably called

924
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 3: all of his friends in and said, Hey, I'm funny

925
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 3: working the burger kn't count I like that. I have

926
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 3: a This is an acquaintance in Portland long ago who

927
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 3: used to go to this local grocery store called New Seasons.

928
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 3: It was kind of the lastings of Portland. Okay, it's

929
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 3: called what New Seasons? No, New Seasons. Beautiful. It's a

930
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 3: nice grocery store. And he would go in there every

931
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 3: day and go to the front and go to one

932
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: of the cashiers and ask for a bag and then

933
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 3: walk around the store and fill stuff in that bag

934
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 3: and then leave. And he did it like what every

935
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 3: day for like a year, and then finally they were like,

936
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 3: we've seen you doing this. You're never allowed back here.

937
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 2: Oh, super mich very nice into that.

938
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 3: I know, I mean, I have.

939
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 2: I mean I remember a few years ago there was

940
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 2: some leak from like Walmart that was like their security

941
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 2: basically telling their employees don't bother anyone if they're stealing

942
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 2: something under twenty five dollars. It's not worth our time. Sure,

943
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 2: so I feel like most companies are like it's just

944
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 2: difficult to prosecute shoplifter under twenty five dollars or something.

945
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 2: So that's again another tip. Go into your local Walmart,

946
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: take something under twenty five dollars and get out of there.

947
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 3: It is self care.

948
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: It's self care, and it's good for the planet. Yeah,

949
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: they've taken enough from us. Go get your under twenty

950
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 2: five for the week. Yeah, and hit the road under

951
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 2: twenty five. That's the rule. That's the Walmart rule.

952
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

953
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 2: Interesting, Well, shoplifting is good. We've learned that. And I

954
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 2: want to move on to the game. Oh, do you

955
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 2: want to play a game. I love games. I feel

956
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 2: like I'm gonna actually give you a choice here. Do

957
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 2: you want to play a game called Gift Master or

958
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 2: a game called Gift or a Curse? I guess I'll

959
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 2: do gift or a curse. Okay, I need a number

960
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 2: from you between one and ten.

961
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to go three. You love three?

962
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, So while I have to go into my

963
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 2: calculation cave and do some calculating. While I'm doing this,

964
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 2: you're gonna I have some amount of time to promote

965
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 2: anything you want or recommend anything you want. You can

966
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 2: do whatever you want, but just know that you don't

967
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 2: know how much time you have.

968
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 3: I'll be right back. Well, hey, guys, I would recommend me.

969
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,719

Speaker 3: number is seven and hit me up. And I'd love

971
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 3: to hang out and do whatever and it might be

972
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 3: super fun. And also I do stand up comedy. I

973
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 3: do shows in LA I do shows around the country.

974
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 3: I have a podcast called podcast but outside. Check that out.

975
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: I like Succession. It's a good TV show. And definitely

976
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 3: cook some food if you get a chance. You know,

977
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 3: it's pretty nice. I'm on social media. Andrew Michean m

978
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 3: Ichaa and difficult to spell, but once you learn it,

979
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 3: it really improves your life. You know, sometimes we look

980
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 3: in the mirror and we don't know who we see,

981
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 3: and then you smile and things just seem to work out.

982
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 3: There are people who know who have podcasts where it's

983
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 3: just them talking. I don't know how they do it.

984
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 3: I don't know how they do it either to just

985
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 3: talk for a solid hour and you have to be psychotic,

986
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 3: you have to. I mean, the value you place on

987
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 3: your own thoughts is out of control. I just don't

988
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 3: understand to speak to just monologue for what's going on

989
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 3: in that brain. I don't what's evempowering that I would

990
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 3: lose weight. I would like be shedding weight as the

991
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 3: podcast went on. I don't know how it happens.

992
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 2: And often things where it's not even a centered theme,

993
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 2: it's just like, here's all the thoughts for.

994
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 3: Every week. I just don't get making a living doing

995
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 3: they do that? Is it is interesting that we're at

996
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 3: a point in the universe where people make a living

997
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 3: talking to themselves for an hour a week and that

998
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 3: is their job. Is that the Joe Rogan experience or

999
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,720
Speaker 3: he has a experience with other people.

1000
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 2: I don't know that I could do that. It would

1001
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 2: be an interesting experiment, I wonder do I eventually start saying,

1002
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 2: maybe that's what people like about it.

1003
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 3: It just takes the fielders off. Yeah, okay, well we're

1004
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 3: gonna play the game.

1005
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna name three things, and

1006
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna tell me if they are a gift or

1007
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 2: a curse and why.

1008
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 3: I wish i'd said nine. Okay, it was gonna be

1009
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 3: three things either. Oh okay, got it, guys.

1010
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 2: It was just to randomly pick from my list of gifts.

1011
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 2: That's what I was calculating, just for everyone's information. Number

1012
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: one gift or a curse upstairs neighbors. You're living in

1013
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 2: an apartment upstairs neighbors, I would say more of a curse.

1014
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 3: Okay, why, Well, because the chances that they're going to

1015
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 3: be loud in ways that you don't like are almost

1016
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 3: one hundred percent, and then the chances that it's they're

1017
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 3: going to be great people you want to become friends

1018
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 3: with are quite low, right, So we're the what's the

1019
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 3: upside here? Okay?

1020
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 2: I Andrew, Unfortunately, you're absolutely right. You nailed this one.

1021
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's anything about an upstairs neighbor

1022
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 2: that is is worth anyone's time. I mean, there's nothing

1023
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 2: good and there's nothing about an upstairs neighbor. I mean

1024
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 2: nothing you can do as the upstairs neighbor to be quiet. Yeah,

1025
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 2: they're like no matter. They're walking around. That sounds like

1026
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 2: bowling balls. They're jumping around. It sounds like a thunderstorm.

1027
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 2: If they're bowling, it sounds like walking around exactly. It's

1028
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 2: very confused. You're just down below them guessing what's going

1029
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 2: on up there. There's nothing good about an upstairs neighbor.

1030
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess maybe you can make a friend,

1031
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 2: but it's hard to make a friend in any situation,

1032
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 2: let alone somebody who's keeping you up n I don't.

1033
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 2: I've never had a friend as an upstairs neighbor.

1034
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 3: I do have.

1035
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,720
Speaker 2: I'm currently at the top level of my apartment building

1036
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 2: a downstairs neighbor who has somehow worse than my up

1037
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 2: than any upstairs neighbor ever could possibly what is this

1038
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 2: person doing. I think that they are using cigarettes in

1039
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 2: their fireplace way, because our apartment smells like cigarettes twenty

1040
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 2: four hours a day. There's two mean French Canadian people

1041
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 2: who are smoking at seven thirty in the morning. I'm

1042
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 2: trying to enjoy my breakfast bar and it's just NonStop smoke.

1043
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 2: I can't stand these two people and me either. So

1044
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 2: I guess the secret is, don't live in an apartment. Yeah,

1045
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 2: but if you do, what do I guess you probably

1046
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 2: usually would prefer a downstairs neighbor unless they are a

1047
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 2: chain smoker. Yeah, which and both of these people are.

1048
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 2: So I'm dealing with that. So curse all around. It's

1049
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 2: a curse neighbors, and I mean apartment neighbors in general.

1050
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: It just doesn't work. It's a little tough. You're kind

1051
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 2: of in a prison with these people. Okay, so you've

1052
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: gotten one out of one so far.

1053
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 3: Perfect. Here we go. Gift or a curse? The Legend

1054
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 3: of Zelda? I think a gift personally. Why I just

1055
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 3: love those games I show. I play all of them. Wait, wait,

1056
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 3: when you mean the Legend of Zelda? Do you mean

1057
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 3: the game, the Legend and other or do you mean

1058
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 3: speak the Lord? The Lord we all know about Princess Zelda.

1059
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 3: That's what I do you understand? That would be the

1060
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,760
Speaker 3: most insane thing I ever proposed to someone just assume

1061
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 3: they're not going to think about the video game. They're

1062
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 3: just going to think about the actual story of this

1063
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 3: princess being kid. I don't know, I started to be

1064
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 3: too analytical here. I'm glad that you actually, I mean

1065
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,720
Speaker 3: even began to think that I would say it's a gift.

1066
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 3: I love those games. They're very imaginative, they're very inventive.

1067
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 3: They're all different and yet similar. And even though you're

1068
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 3: basically doing the same thing every time on a large scale,

1069
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 3: every time feels like a journey that I want to

1070
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 3: go on. And you know what, my mom. I got

1071
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 3: my mom at a video games recently, which is crazy

1072
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 3: because she's, you know, in her sixties and she didn't

1073
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 3: had a video games before. She just beat the new

1074
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 3: Zelda on switch. I killed her. Yeah, I got it

1075
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 3: for her for Christmas and she just told me that

1076
00:50:58,520 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 3: sheets incredible. Pretty.

1077
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a beautiful video. Yeah, it's a very comforting,

1078
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 2: just pleasant experience. I see her play and I'm like,

1079
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: you're good at this game.

1080
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 3: It's so great. It's good for mom. So it better

1081
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 3: be a blessing or gift.

1082
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 2: Andrew, It's an absolute gift to do. This is amazing.

1083
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: I love the legend of Zelda, of course, I mean

1084
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 2: every one of them. I think you've nailed it. It's

1085
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 2: a very comforting experience somehow, always new and charming.

1086
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 3: It is.

1087
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm not a big you know, if

1088
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 2: there's a gun in a video game or whatever, I'm

1089
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 2: not into it.

1090
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 3: So I also think sort of thing the perfect level

1091
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 3: of complicated, you know, like it tests your brain just

1092
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 3: enough but not enough to be frustrating. Yes, And I

1093
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 3: think there's something nice about it always being somewhat similar

1094
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 3: because you can pick it up and understand what you

1095
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 3: need to do.

1096
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 2: Yes, at least to begin. You're comfortable doing it, and

1097
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 2: you might learn a new thing here or there. But yeah, yeah,

1098
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 2: I think it's an absolute gift. And I, uh, it

1099
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 2: takes up a lot of my time.

1100
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 3: That's great. So my problem with video games is sometimes

1101
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 3: I'll play a game and then you know, I'll play

1102
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 3: a few hours or whatever, and then I'll get busy

1103
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 3: with life and then I'll come back to it and

1104
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know where I am, this is

1105
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 3: what to do? I don't know what the controls are.

1106
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,919
Speaker 2: Games need to have some like last time on Yeah,

1107
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,479
Speaker 2: I agree something to just give you a hint as

1108
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 2: to what the deal is.

1109
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 3: Because Zelda is so familiar, it hasn't happen with me

1110
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 3: as much.

1111
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly other video games I will definitely get into

1112
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 2: Get A week will pass and I'm like, well, no,

1113
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 2: it's just a lost cousin. I don't want to do

1114
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 2: that all over again, so I'm just not playing it.

1115
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 2: It happens to me too, Legend of Zelda. It's a

1116
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 2: gift two out of two. So this is really the

1117
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 2: you know, we're going to see what you can do

1118
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 2: with this gift to a curse surprise phone calls.

1119
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 3: It's tough, you know, because on the one hand, it

1120
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 3: is nice to hear from someone that you might care about,

1121
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 3: but in the other hand, you're busy, you got stuff

1122
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,720
Speaker 3: going on, and ultimately it's a curse.

1123
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 2: Okay, Andrew. Unfortunately, unfortunately you're wrong. Oh, surprise phone call

1124
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 2: is a gift. It's a gift.

1125
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 3: Absolutely. What is there?

1126
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 2: I mean, there are so many layers for a surprise

1127
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 2: phone call. First, you can get one late at night

1128
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 2: from a family member. Yeah, there's the fear that one, Yeah,

1129
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 2: set your heart racing. And then hopefully it's not a

1130
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 2: bad phone call. Hopefully it's just somebody wanting to check in,

1131
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 2: but you get to have at that little bit of

1132
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 2: a look into mortality for a second. You can also

1133
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 2: have a surprise phone call from an old friend who

1134
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 2: doesn't love to hear from a dear friend.

1135
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the more I think about it, you're right.

1136
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 2: Surprise phone call from a job that you were expecting

1137
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 2: to get, and you get the job.

1138
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 3: Another gift.

1139
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were doing so well here and then we

1140
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 2: come along to surprise phone calls on I thank you over.

1141
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 3: I think I ever thought. I think I got too cynical.

1142
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 3: I think the internet is very much like my phone's

1143
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 3: for texting. Don't call me, you know, I think I

1144
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 3: got too caught up in that realm when in reality

1145
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:11,760
Speaker 3: I like to talk to my friends.

1146
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's twenty twenty and we're moving back towards

1147
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 2: phone calls, right telling you everybody's going to be talking

1148
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 2: on the phone like a teen in the nineties. Yeah,

1149
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 2: I just think I messed up. When you did mess up,

1150
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 2: I already made that very clear.

1151
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 3: I just feel so bad now, and I you know so,

1152
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 3: and I told people earlier to call me. I gave

1153
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 3: out my number while you're doing your things and you're

1154
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 3: sitting here begging for some phone calls. I hope they

1155
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 3: still call me. Well, this feels like you betrayed yourself.

1156
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 3: I know, you know, I was on the right track earlier,

1157
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 3: and then again I got I thought too hard about

1158
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 3: it and and it really tripped me up, you know,

1159
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 3: But I'm going to go with your gut. I will

1160
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 3: revise my opinion. And I do think it is a blessing.

1161
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 2: Okay, keep blessing. I may have said blessing, but it

1162
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,280
Speaker 2: is a blessing. It's a gift, it's a blessing. Everyone

1163
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 2: likes this. Actually, I'm yeah, and I am speaking for everyone.

1164
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 2: Everyone loves price. Okay, so two out of three? I mean,

1165
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 2: you were and I don't think anyone has ever gotten

1166
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 2: three out of three on this post. Did you almost did?

1167
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 2: I really thought you were going to be the first.

1168
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 2: Apologies to anyone on this who's been on this podcast

1169
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 2: that got three out of three that I've forgotten, but

1170
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure.

1171
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 3: No one has. Yeah. Well, you know, I think that's

1172
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 3: an interesting lesson, is that, you know, there's always room

1173
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 3: for growth.

1174
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 2: There's always I mean, maybe you come on again in

1175
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 2: the future and you learn to just trust your instincts.

1176
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,919
Speaker 2: I am busy, you are. I cannot come back.

1177
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 3: I was going to say if you could come back tomorrow,

1178
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 3: I got I have some more questions for you, Andrew.

1179
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 3: You can't sit here and deny coming back on the

1180
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:49,720
Speaker 3: podcast tomorrow morning. Got some phone calls to answer some surprises. Stephen.

1181
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 2: Has anyone ever made the reference? I mean that the

1182
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,280
Speaker 2: podcast is recorded in front of a live Steven audience.

1183
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 2: I feel like we should start doing I mean, I

1184
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 2: think every exactly right podcast should initially start recording in

1185
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 2: front of a live Stephen audience.

1186
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 3: That's really good and it's true, and it's true because

1187
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 3: I mean, we're getting so much energy from Stephen here

1188
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 3: is keeping it contained? Yes, Stephen's obviously a professional, but

1189
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 3: it's every one of these episodes is in front of

1190
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 3: a live Stephen audience, and sometimes we're killing with Steven

1191
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 3: and it feels nice, fee feels good, it does it

1192
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 3: really does well.

1193
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe we'll look forward to making that part

1194
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 2: of the of every episode. I said, No Gifts is

1195
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 2: recorded in front of a live Stephen audience.

1196
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 3: You should definitely say that.

1197
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 2: Who knows what the future holds it's all up in

1198
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 2: the air when you're on I said no gifts, and

1199
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 2: we're moving to the final segment. Oh beautiful this it

1200
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 2: has been such a journey, it's been an incredible churman.

1201
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 3: It's such a legend.

1202
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 2: It's been an absolute legend of Bridger. That's another thing

1203
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 2: about the legend of Zelda. You can make your naa.

1204
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 2: You get to pick your name in the game. H

1205
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 2: I could go on and on. That's another podcast altogether,

1206
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 2: but we have to answer a question. This is a

1207
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 2: part of the podcast called I said no Questions. People

1208
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,720
Speaker 2: are writing into I said no Gifts at gmail dot com.

1209
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 2: They need help picking gifts for people in their lives,

1210
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 2: as we all do. Bosses, friends, loved ones, acquaintances upstairs,

1211
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 2: neighbors need gifts. People you're stalking. People you're stalking want

1212
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 2: they wanted to get on open the door and find

1213
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 2: a gift. There's nothing more comforting than to find an

1214
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 2: anonymous gift on.

1215
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 3: Your porch from your stocker.

1216
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 2: Yes, maybe it comes flying through your bedroom window. I

1217
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,959
Speaker 2: don't know. That's up to the stalker. We're gonna answer

1218
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 2: a question here. Let me read it.

1219
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 3: Bridger.

1220
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 2: I asked my former boss to serve as a reference

1221
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 2: for me months ago, which she did, but then I

1222
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 2: never said thank you or sent her anything. And she

1223
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 2: has a new baby. I'm a horrible person. I need

1224
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 2: to say thank you and also make full reparations at once,

1225
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 2: without spending ten thousand dollars to hire her a private

1226
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 2: messuse and look guilty at the same time. Olivia in Oakland,

1227
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 2: this is a lot to unpack here, Olivia. I yeah,

1228
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 2: so okay, so the boss essentially boiling this down. The

1229
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 2: boss did something nice, she didn't do anything back, not

1230
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: even so much as a thank you card.

1231
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 3: So she's clearly got no understanding of how much a

1232
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 3: massage got. This is someone who she's been avoiding massages

1233
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 3: her whole life. Why would you get as I can't

1234
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 3: take out a mortgage. I uh god. These people around

1235
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 3: me getting message it's around by the million. They're wealthy.

1236
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 2: This poor Olivia in Oakland just needs to relax. She

1237
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 2: needs somebody to head over to the time massage. It's

1238
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 2: going to be fifty dollars and plus a tip if

1239
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 2: you're Andrew.

1240
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 3: If you're Andrew, you're leaving twenty dollars.

1241
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Olivia, you want to get your boss something nice.

1242
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 2: I mean, at this point, you've you're asking a podcast

1243
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 2: for advice about what to get your boss. This all

1244
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 2: happened months ago according to you, and by my estimation,

1245
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 2: by the time you hear this, it will be your

1246
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 2: boss has forgotten you exist.

1247
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 3: I know, it's tough because you can't go to like,

1248
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 3: you can't get too nice of a gift, because it's

1249
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 3: kind of like a nice gift. Six months later, it's like,

1250
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 3: what is your problem? It's the boss has forgotten even happened.

1251
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 3: And I was just like, are you trying to date?

1252
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: Man?

1253
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 3: It's like I would have preferred an email on time

1254
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 3: as opposed to ten thousand dollars gifts six months later,

1255
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 3: it feels creepy. Thank you for the car.

1256
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 2: But I think, I mean, I think at this point

1257
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 2: you just uh ask her out to dinner, ask the

1258
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 2: boss out to dinner, and just pay for dinner.

1259
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't even mention that now, No, because honestly,

1260
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 3: I gotta say that could be a curse. Oh and dinner,

1261
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 3: a dinner with someone you don't want is a curse.

1262
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 2: That is a curse. But Andrew, we've moved to another segment. No, no,

1263
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 2: I know, just stop trying to take it back. You're

1264
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 2: not going to win the game.

1265
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 3: But no, I think a gift that is an obligation

1266
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 3: of hanging out with that person. If you, oh, yeah,

1267
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 3: the boss is gonna it's not good. You're right, you've

1268
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 3: got it about this mon I mean, I'm thinking about

1269
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 3: this baby thing, and you know, I think when you

1270
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 3: have a baby, one piece of advice that I've heard

1271
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 3: recently from a recent mother was that you got to

1272
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 3: focus on yourself a little bit, right because your imagy

1273
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 3: is sapping your life source so focused on the baby

1274
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 3: that it might be nice to do something for yourself.

1275
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 3: A massage is a good example off the table.

1276
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe now that you have this new information

1277
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 2: that a massage isn't going to destroy you financially, maybe

1278
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 2: that's what you do.

1279
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 3: A massage is like one hundred dollars from a nice

1280
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 3: that's true.

1281
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 2: I guess like if you cheap on a massage, then

1282
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: your boss is going to be in some weird place

1283
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 2: and probably getting like ringworm or something.

1284
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had ring direction. Did you get

1285
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 3: from one I was camping in the wood? Well, certainly

1286
01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 3: you just went through a full your immune system. Was ihere?

1287
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:03,479
Speaker 3: I forgot about that. Wow, Yeah I didn't.

1288
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 2: I thought you got ringworm from like wrestling mass No,

1289
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 2: it comes from dirt.

1290
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 3: Dirt. Yeah, I got it. You're just rolling around in

1291
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 3: the dirts on my foot. I got rid of it

1292
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:11,439
Speaker 3: and went away.

1293
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: But okay, so this gift, I think, Okay, there's a

1294
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 2: new baby. So I mean, I think the the real

1295
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 2: key is to not even reference the the fact that

1296
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 2: the boss did something nice for you. At this point,

1297
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 2: you just have to do something nice for the boss,

1298
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 2: because I think if you give them something, let's assume

1299
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 2: this is twenty years after, the boss is like, what

1300
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:32,479
Speaker 2: are we even talking about?

1301
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,959
Speaker 3: But that's even weirder though, to just be like, hey

1302
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 3: just was thinking of you. But the baby is the excuse.

1303
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 3: The baby is in here.

1304
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 2: I think you say, you just you know, disguise it

1305
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 2: as I'm getting a gift for the baby for you

1306
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 2: because of the baby.

1307
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 3: Congratulations on the baby. Here's the gift. PS. Thanks for

1308
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 3: writing that recommendation email for me a while ago. Oh

1309
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 3: really nice of you. Yeah, it's all about the wording. Yeah,

1310
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 3: give the baby a massage. Yeah, that seems like something

1311
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 3: you could do. Yeah, there's definitely we people out there

1312
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 3: who specialize in baby massage.

1313
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 2: There's no question in my mind. You've got to be Olivia.

1314
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 2: I think we've we've given you a decent amount of

1315
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 2: information here, maybe just stew on that you obviously you'd

1316
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 2: like to put things off. Your boss is not going

1317
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 2: to uh, they're definitely not thinking about you or this

1318
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 2: reference at this point. So you do a surprise a

1319
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 2: year and a half from now. Yeah, who cares? Gift card?

1320
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to get good. I mean I don't know.

1321
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 2: We haven't answered the question, but I mean we also

1322
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 2: don't know anything about the boss. So I was you know,

1323
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 2: there's send a send the boss a box of chocolates.

1324
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 3: That's good. I like that. Chocolates are good and just

1325
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 3: like a yeah, thinking of you, I think a box

1326
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 3: of chocolates. It says congratulations on the baby. Hope you

1327
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 3: enjoy these chocolates. Thanks again for writing the thing.

1328
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just let them know you didn't get the job. Yeah,

1329
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 2: this is your last dollar. Please hire me back.

1330
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I need you. This is a desperate overture to

1331
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,000

Speaker 2: luck to you, and I hope that you've learned your lesson. Andrew.

1336
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 2: Speaking of thank you cards? Oh really recently on the podcast,

1337
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 2: I had Louren lap Caissan and the gift she gave

1338
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 2: me was a box of thank you cards, which was psychotic,

1339
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 2: but she it was to give to my guests. I

1340
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 2: haven't given any of my guests thank you card yet,

1341
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 2: so flattered, I'm going to give this to you now.

1342
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 2: You can read it now if you want.

1343
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, let's see.

1344
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 2: I mean it was it was a little last minute thing,

1345
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 2: but I thought I should thank you.

1346
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 3: On the front, it says white power. Interesting yeah, with

1347
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 3: Lauren lapkist of course known racist. It says thank you

1348
01:03:56,560 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 3: so very much, and then it says Andrew. Wouldn't it

1349
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 3: be funny, by the way, if this is like a

1350
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 3: magic trick and you guess everything that we talked about,

1351
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 3: that would be an envelope. This is a magic podcast.

1352
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 3: Illusionist Bridger Wyecker brings his friends and family to Dazzle.

1353
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 3: It's like, I hope you had fun on the three wheel.

1354
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 3: You hope you got over the rig where it's just

1355
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 3: like everything we talked about and then I slit your

1356
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 3: throat and people here you just bleed out Andrew. First

1357
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 3: of all, very tidy handwriting. Oh thank you, Thank you

1358
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 3: so much for not bringing me anything. It means a

1359
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 3: lot that you heard and respected me. Okay, yours Bridger.

1360
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, unfortunately, maybe I should have run it after

1361
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 2: you came, but definitely this is maybe a lesson learned

1362
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 2: from me, but I'm happy to have used it on you.

1363
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost the exact opposite of a magic trick

1364
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 3: because you.

1365
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 2: Incorrectly I made some assumptions about your behavior tonight, and

1366
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 2: I'm I'm going to take that into account.

1367
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 3: These are very nice. Thank you, Lauren, Thank you Lauren Lapkus,

1368
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 3: and thank you. You know I will I will put

1369
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 3: this up in my house as a memento of how

1370
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 3: I don't follow orders and sometimes I get rewarded for it. Yeah,
