00:00:08 Speaker 1: Well, I invit. 00:00:09 Speaker 2: Did you hear. 00:00:13 Speaker 3: Thought? 00:00:13 Speaker 2: I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest in my home, you gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests, your presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff, So how do you dare. 00:00:36 Speaker 3: To surbey me? 00:00:48 Speaker 1: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Bridgard Wineger. We're in the backyard. I'm not going to comment on the heat until it begins to affect my mood. What is happening? What is happening? Turn up the volume. You know, people should hear it outside of your earbuds. They should hear it as you drive by. We want the podcast getting out there, regardless of people's comfort level. If we can just pause for one second. You know, occasionally I should remind you, especially in these days, that it really helps if you share the podcast, you tell people about it. Of course, write a lovely review. Those are always so valuable. But get on social media. Get on Instagram, threads, Facebook, Marketplace. I mean, those are two things. Tell people about it. Get on a dating app. What an icebreaker have you heard of? I said, no gifts. The person says, yes, you've made a connection. You may have made a love connection. I don't know. If the person says no, block them, immediately report their account, do whatever you have to do. Maybe you're currently touring the world selling out arenas of screaming fans every night. Stop down the show and tell people about the podcast. I know you're listening to the swift, but I could go on and on, and I don't want to because I'm shuddering even having to ask you. This is not what I like to do. But I do have to remind you that you know, we count on you. 00:02:14 Speaker 3: What else? 00:02:14 Speaker 1: I got my tires rotated this morning. That was the big deal, and I got to wander around the Americana and Glendale. I purchased nothing. Let's get to our guests. I mean, I'm really thrilled. First of all, this is a podcast first, a husband and wife team. It's Naomi k Peregan and Andy Beckerman. Andy, Naomi Bridger. How do you feel about me calling you a husband and wife team? 00:02:38 Speaker 4: You know, a little queasy but ultimately grateful. 00:02:44 Speaker 3: Oh? I love it. I can't get enough of it. That's my love language. Is us collaborating? Yeah? 00:02:51 Speaker 4: His love language is making me work, and that's what we're trying to unpack in our shared therapeutic experience. 00:02:56 Speaker 1: Of course, of course, and you have to let me have this. This is as close as I'm ever going to get to a husband and a wife being able to say that term on the podcast, and I'm going to take it. 00:03:05 Speaker 3: I have to take now. How often are you close to husband and wives as a team in your daily life? Are you near them like when you're walking, when you're wandering the Americana? Q? How close do you get to those husbands and wives? I'm all over these husband and life teams. 00:03:23 Speaker 1: I'm getting close. I'm breathing on them. I'm listening in taking notes. 00:03:28 Speaker 3: How do you do it? Well? 00:03:29 Speaker 1: I'll never get to be part of one. So it's ultimately my life's tragedy. 00:03:34 Speaker 3: You could, you could, It's not it's you would have to push down your entire personality and identity into a small box in your heart. 00:03:43 Speaker 1: Which may be worth it. 00:03:47 Speaker 4: It's called a marriage of convenience. Oh right, are you running for? 00:03:51 Speaker 3: Are you on House Hunters International? 00:03:54 Speaker 1: Exactly? Or famously? We hate to even say their names are so tired. Chip and Lanta games. 00:04:02 Speaker 3: Today, Chip at Joanna losses. That's what I say. It's too much with them. 00:04:06 Speaker 4: I said, what are you even getting at the end of all this? 00:04:09 Speaker 3: I can't. I can't with them. 00:04:11 Speaker 1: They're still together, which is shocking. 00:04:13 Speaker 3: They are. 00:04:14 Speaker 1: I thought quarantine would be the end of them. That was my big prediction for COVID, Like early quarantine. I thought they'll be done. 00:04:20 Speaker 3: Yeah, like they will get it and die. And then I. 00:04:23 Speaker 1: Say that or they'll hate each other so much that they'll have to move on. Neither, as far as I know, happened. 00:04:30 Speaker 4: Well you want to know why though, because you know you could still do that outdoor activity safely. Oh, they were happy. They said, we got to fix a backsplash, Like I think that's right. Like, because they can't go into other people's homes, they're gonna go just rip it apart. 00:04:42 Speaker 3: Oh my god, wait, I'm so sorry. 00:04:43 Speaker 4: You know, Bridge, this is your podcast, However, Andy, we could use this is a time to ask Bridge what we've been dying to now. 00:04:48 Speaker 3: Yes, and but first, the husband in this group, in this duo, in this group, this duo, it is the alter ego of Garth Brooks. 00:04:57 Speaker 1: Correct, Wait, Chris Gaines, is that not. 00:05:02 Speaker 3: Interesting? Is that not the batman to Garth Brooks? 00:05:05 Speaker 1: Bruce Wayne I forgot about Chris Gaines as part of the Gaines family. 00:05:10 Speaker 4: Interesting, I fully did not even know. 00:05:13 Speaker 1: Did anyone ever hear one of those songs that Chris Gaines Music was doing. I don't think anyone ever heard. There was a full album that no one ever heard. It vanished. Wow, maybe a couple of years ago. I tried to look it up. It's been scrubbed from the internet. 00:05:28 Speaker 3: It's nowhere to Oh he hired one of those firms to get rid of the Chris Gates persona, but he leaves up. 00:05:35 Speaker 1: Have you seen the Facebook video Garth Brooks talking to Facebook? 00:05:39 Speaker 3: Oh, what are you talking to? 00:05:40 Speaker 1: This is a piece of media that everyone I mean, after this podcast? 00:05:44 Speaker 3: Okay, is this in the metaverse? 00:05:46 Speaker 1: No, this was pre metaverse. This was probably twenty seventeen, Garth Brooks alone in a hotel room, oh, announcing he's new to Facebook. And it is I mean, I will I watch it at least yearly. It is a very special piece. It's wow intimate. It is too intimate. It's like what you can feel his breath in your ear. 00:06:11 Speaker 4: The lighting situation in the hotel room, it's just hotel light. 00:06:14 Speaker 1: He doesn't have a ring light anything. 00:06:16 Speaker 4: It's but it's not like aid Like it's not dark. We're not getting like a side light, you know what I mean. 00:06:20 Speaker 3: You're imagining like a like motel room with one kind of like desk lamp. And that's kind of yes, I'm imagining one sad day in my mind. 00:06:29 Speaker 1: I think he's probably an expensive hotel with the perfect lighting. So it's like it feels like you are unfortunately alone in a hotel room with Garth. 00:06:37 Speaker 3: Brooks for French fries. 00:06:39 Speaker 1: Yes, room, sir, where Garth is paying. I have to assume garthould pay the bill on that one. 00:06:44 Speaker 3: But you might get a VENO request. People say, Red, you're gonna get a Vemo request for those French fries. They don't take the X points, but you're gonna pay him back the catch. 00:06:54 Speaker 1: I would venmo Garth Brooks ten thousand dollars if he requested it, just for the opportunity experience for the story, for the story. Wait, did you have a question? 00:07:05 Speaker 3: Yes, well, dovest question. Yeah, it is about how it is abouse. It is about house Hunters International. Oh okay, interesting now. 00:07:16 Speaker 4: Me, Well, you know Andy and I we watch a lot of these, a lot of this Okay, real connoisseewers deep dive. You know, I believe we're currently on what they're calling season one hundred and twenty three. 00:07:27 Speaker 1: So that lets you are right, yes. 00:07:31 Speaker 3: We just started one twenty four. 00:07:32 Speaker 4: Okay, but that's giving you a sense of what's going on out there now. And I've also personally sent you a couple of text messages here and there. I find that there is an overrepresentation of Mormons on a House Hunters International in. 00:07:47 Speaker 3: Regards to the population. They won't say, well, yeah, they're not saying you have to figure out from contact clues. 00:07:53 Speaker 4: Usually the five Arian children, yes, the five usually one of them they won't say, but they're like, oh, I visited this foreign place for a little bit when I was in college or something like that. 00:08:06 Speaker 3: They usually say it like that, and then you're like, oh, okay, you're on a mission. 00:08:09 Speaker 4: Yes, IPORTU that I do a deep dive or you know, I had my egle eyegoing this last one. 00:08:13 Speaker 3: Okay, honey. 00:08:14 Speaker 4: When I say it was five kids, what I tell you they were moving to Portugal? What I tell you they said, I believe they said three bedrooms, three bedrooms, and literally the realtor for seven people. 00:08:24 Speaker 3: She said, are you well, okay, how much do you remember how much their budget was? 00:08:29 Speaker 4: I think it was one thousand dollars Max. 00:08:31 Speaker 3: I actually think it was less than it was it eight hundred it was. 00:08:35 Speaker 1: It was like five or six were looking to spend six hundred dollars a month on three bedrooms. 00:08:39 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes. 00:08:42 Speaker 4: But they're showing pictures because sometimes will give you like a still you know, the couple before somewhere, and they show them on their you know, the wedding, and I see behind them, Honey, I see ladder, I see probe. 00:08:52 Speaker 3: Okay, I saw those two. 00:08:53 Speaker 4: I said, there it is in the background of the photol you're blocking it with your head, you think, no. 00:08:57 Speaker 3: No, we're goddamn detective, all right at this that they are looking for clues in every possible frame of that, of course, of course, And I'm. 00:09:06 Speaker 4: Wondering what it is again proportion to the population. I'm wondering, is you know where do you think they're advertising for, Hhi, like in the church or something. 00:09:14 Speaker 1: Right more heavily in the Utah? 00:09:16 Speaker 3: Interesting? Does he predict House Hunters International? 00:09:19 Speaker 1: I feel like I feel that's the first chapter of the book of More Cindy and Kyle are looking for a. 00:09:29 Speaker 3: Turnkey property, so said the Saint Andromeda. I'm my guess. 00:09:36 Speaker 1: My guess here is they probably are like, oh, there are couples there that will want to move internationally. Let's at least drop a few more Craigslist ads in Utah to get because of course you're going to find these people who one of them went on a mission, maybe both of them went on a nation, and they're gonna want to spend some time. That would be my guess. My second guess. The culture is just the kind that wants to be on TV for free interest. I think that there's a decent amount of people within the culture that are like, oh, this will be our chance to be on TV. 00:10:09 Speaker 3: Have a little TV. 00:10:10 Speaker 4: It's that's so interesting because I would have never I would have never guessed. 00:10:13 Speaker 3: I wouldn't have. 00:10:14 Speaker 4: Thought of it as a let's get out there, let's have a little moment of fame type of culture. 00:10:19 Speaker 3: Well, isn't there a lot of proselytizing? 00:10:21 Speaker 4: Oh there's so much, but they're not doing that. Maybe see I wanted to be like, why don't we show people how great it is to have five kids and be living across the world like part of that, you know what I mean, sort of like show like lead by example of like let's show people how great. 00:10:33 Speaker 3: Our lives are. 00:10:34 Speaker 1: Grosuring it, grosuring it exactly, gros sure as a verb like that that makes perfect sense. 00:10:40 Speaker 3: Baby, the English language is my child, and my child does what I wanted to do. Get to your room English language. You're grounded. Oh my god. 00:10:57 Speaker 1: You can both leave now or and you can leave now. But someone's gotta. 00:11:01 Speaker 3: Someone's gotta go. You're not the first person to say that, Bridger, you know what you should do that? A podcasts were often if you have a bunch of guests, you vote one off ten. 00:11:12 Speaker 4: Minutes, then I might be able to listen to an episode of some of these ones when it's like. 00:11:16 Speaker 3: Five people improvised, I go, I don't have any five people. 00:11:19 Speaker 1: It's too much in an hour, right, how. 00:11:21 Speaker 3: Many bang banks should start off with everyone and then they keep voting people. 00:11:25 Speaker 4: Off and with two people, Andy, we don't name other podcasts while we're on a podcast. 00:11:29 Speaker 3: If you notice, I just said we people. 00:11:31 Speaker 4: And we're not here to like kind of give people other things to do, like listening to I said no Gifts as loud as possible, or top with the drop, top down, cruising cruising down the highway, Ballibu wind in your hair exactly, that's your four in. 00:11:44 Speaker 1: The back, You're ready, or the other. There are two podcasts we can mention. Okay, I said, no gifts, Couple's Therapy, thank your podcast, thank you. Otherwise they do not exist outside of the I mean there are no other podcasts. 00:11:55 Speaker 3: Right, not, not here, not in this moment in time. 00:11:57 Speaker 1: No, thank you, No, absolutely absolutely not. 00:12:00 Speaker 4: You know what, Bridgard, thank you so much for being my Mormon expert. You guys, I'm using quotes because that's not who Bridger is. And yet I brought him this, and I said, Bridger may have an answer to something that you don't know nothing about. 00:12:11 Speaker 3: How's this? If you have any questions about Jews, ask me. I'll let you touch it in exchange for me. That's the quote. Okay, i' let you touch my yamaka. To be fair, you too. 00:12:21 Speaker 1: I feel like, out of all of my friends are the most uh the most educated about Mormons. I feel like you both have like some touch points within Mormonism. You're able to draw from that world, whereas most people it's just like they have nothing to say other than questions that are like, oh you might have known this, yeah yeah, yeah, but you're asking expert level house centers International. 00:12:43 Speaker 3: How do they get on I can't answer that. 00:12:46 Speaker 4: I think there's weights. I was like season one twenty three, and I feel like you're ten percent of the episodes and that's not ten percent of the US population. 00:12:54 Speaker 3: Well, no episodes get their plan. 00:12:56 Speaker 1: You've watched a decent amount of that show. And this is something I've noticed, and I haven't watched enough to well I've watched. Actually, I will say I'm an expert. I feel like on International, YEP, there's always one room, tile floor, twin bed, just a sheet on it. It's what's happening? Is this just Europe? Is this like panicked trying to furnish the room? Is what's happening? 00:13:18 Speaker 3: I think? 00:13:18 Speaker 1: So. 00:13:18 Speaker 3: I think they're like they're freaking out there, like we have a budget of twelve dollars and we have to do this in two days. You know, we have to shoot this entire right, right, so whatever, Like you know they're going they're rifling through people's closets like looking for anything can possibly do? Can I also add edit not just a tile like the room with a twin bed. And it also, for some reason, a lot of European countries a beaar basement with a sluice and a kind of like hose type thing like a dexter. 00:13:47 Speaker 1: Basement, right or a girl with the dragon tattoo basement. 00:13:51 Speaker 3: So it's situation. And I was like, we're not going to talk about that. 00:13:55 Speaker 4: Like we're standing here, your voices are echoing, you're clearly unsafe, but we're actually like it's. 00:13:59 Speaker 1: A future because it's a perfect place for five children. Pushed them down with the hose and they can sleep on the concrete. That's all you need for your children. If you're gonna be in Portugal for a year and you've got six hundred dollars a month, you can't complain. 00:14:12 Speaker 4: I honey, I would That's what I would do all the time. You brought me all the waiter Portugal and I get. 00:14:18 Speaker 3: Even back th fings. That would be me. That would be me in a nutshell. But you know this woman was so tired that she couldn't argue with him, Like she was like twenty three, but she looked like she was eighty three. The mom wife and the. 00:14:31 Speaker 4: Wife, and she was so tired the light had left her eyes. And then I said, that's what too many children, because she even made Yeah, we got marshes and then we had a baby, having. 00:14:42 Speaker 3: Babies just like babe, I said, I'll get I'll get out. It was like one of the brittlest smile, like just like the just like twig snapping, that kind of smile. 00:14:56 Speaker 1: Well, we've talked about Mormon smiles before with Turtle Creek Lane. 00:15:00 Speaker 3: Yes, of course, you know you too. 00:15:02 Speaker 1: We've discussed that to no end. Yes, d nauseum. We text about it. Yeah, we're looking at it. For whatever reason, Instagram will not show her to me immediately. I always have to dig up her feed. I feel like she's shadow blocked me or something. 00:15:17 Speaker 3: She's now a mother. 00:15:18 Speaker 1: Did you know that, Oh, Tiffany, Yes, oh yes, there's a baby. They're dancing with the baby. They're doing videos. I think they were doing videos with the baby in the hospital. 00:15:28 Speaker 4: Good lord, the fontinelle hasn't closed. That is soft. 00:15:33 Speaker 3: Do not dance with it yet. Wow, But okay, you need to make new thing in hospitals, like please do not make TikTok videos with your baby until the Fontanelle has closed. 00:15:43 Speaker 4: That should be it should be part of what you signed before they discharge. 00:15:46 Speaker 3: You have to promise, boy, lease thirty days. 00:15:51 Speaker 1: The Houtens would pay their way through it. They've got the money. They're remodeling the lake house right now. I voted today on what they should do with their backsplash. 00:15:59 Speaker 3: What did you what did you think? 00:16:00 Speaker 1: I feel like she said should I keep or remove? Is it beachy enough? And I said keep it? Because I know she's not keeping it. She's getting new tile. She's acting like there might be a change. I mean there might not be a change. They'll save some money, they're not saving a dime. No, it's kind of a cowboy rustic theme right now by the lake they're going beachy, which in the middle of Texas. I feel like cowboy. 00:16:24 Speaker 3: Stick with that. 00:16:25 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know why you would be going beachy. Bechi feels like you're in denial full well. 00:16:30 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like that may be a theme within that family. 00:16:34 Speaker 3: Why you're shadow blocked? Why your shadow blocked? He keeps psychoanalyzing them from a distance, looking up through Freid, like, huh, what does this say about the projection? Interesting? 00:16:46 Speaker 1: You don't have to do too much analyzing. I feel like there's a lot that's just barely beneath the surface. 00:16:51 Speaker 3: Billy Crystal and Bobby de Niro go on analy. 00:16:58 Speaker 1: I was trying to meet you, say, he is already taking control of my brain. 00:17:02 Speaker 4: You must tell me, by the way, Andrew, what okay? 00:17:06 Speaker 1: Can? 00:17:06 Speaker 3: I'm not afraid to say what can? I set the seed for the listener. As we keep recording, I'm moving farther and farther away from the table, and closer and closer we are outside, and closer and closer to this little area where I can like pretend like somehow I am far away enough from everyone. I just wanted to I'm. 00:17:27 Speaker 4: Do you really want to stop what we're doing to talk about you being unwell? 00:17:30 Speaker 3: Yeah? I just want to point out I'm literally behind foliage, pushed myself so far away from the table that I am camouflage behind whatever this plant. 00:17:41 Speaker 4: Is reporting from the jungle, giving Homer Simpson gift. 00:17:45 Speaker 3: For no reason, you guys, I just thought that that would add to the listeners understanding the tapestry. 00:17:54 Speaker 1: It's a beautiful, beautiful scene you're providing him. I mean, eventually you'll be against the wall. Yeah, and then you're going to start to panic. Yeah, we'll see, we'll see what happen screaming. 00:18:04 Speaker 3: Well there's well, there's spiders right over there. 00:18:06 Speaker 4: So at web Andrew, Andrew, I need you to be in the conversation, and I need you to be in the environment, if that makes sense. 00:18:16 Speaker 3: I need you to be in the moment, but not the environment. 00:18:20 Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, I see what you're saying. You two have been picketting a lot, so odd, it's sucky. What are you doing outside of that to fill your taste? 00:18:31 Speaker 3: Loves? To be clear? 00:18:32 Speaker 1: Because I mean this releases in what August September August thirty first, if I mean, let's be honest, still strike, which is just so horrible. 00:18:41 Speaker 3: They want us to lose our homes and apartments. 00:18:42 Speaker 1: So they're kind of almost quoted as saying we just want them to die. 00:18:46 Speaker 4: They are quoted and they also love it. And I said, could you be any dimmer? Because if there's anything a bunch of creative white people like, it's feeling persecuted. 00:18:55 Speaker 3: So all you've done is game a whole bunch of kids who was about. 00:18:58 Speaker 4: To sit down. They was about to sit down because we were like a day seventy when that dropped, we was about to be it down and they said, oh no, you didn't tell me. 00:19:07 Speaker 3: I wasn't special. I get to be a victim. Boy. It's like we did not. 00:19:13 Speaker 1: That was a nice shot in the arm. 00:19:15 Speaker 3: It was. 00:19:15 Speaker 1: It really was, as in Sag dropping in. 00:19:18 Speaker 3: As will go once said oh shot in the arm. 00:19:21 Speaker 1: Oh again, you can both leave or and you can I can also go in the house. I have locks on my corse. I don't use the alarm system that often, but I'm happy to send it. Yeah, the strike is still probably going on. 00:19:38 Speaker 3: WGA sag. 00:19:39 Speaker 1: Oh my god. 00:19:41 Speaker 4: But well, you know what it was to right, because I say the shot in the arm is that feeling of like when you're at a party where it's like, okay, the party is kind of happening. People are there, like you know, you threw like you're like okay, I like everybody, but it's like the energy is kind of mellow, right, and you're like, this could last for five more hours. Everyone can leave in thirty minutes. That kind of feel to huh, and then someone everyone hates a and now we're all now we're all buzzing. Now we're saying how dare you. Now we're saying who invited you? Then really hot people show up and now the party is kicking off. 00:20:12 Speaker 3: That's what happened. Roaring, it's roaring. Oh yeah, when we were walking Paramountain yesterday and there's just like a flock of tall blonde women walking. Yeah, it was like the Zelle's in the wild. 00:20:24 Speaker 4: Already made their strike shirt a crop top. I said, you just got it. You just got it when you checked in. 00:20:30 Speaker 3: When they when it was handed to them, it just magically you saw like a little like tiny stars, like like fairy pixie dust kind of, and then it turned into a crop top as they touched it. 00:20:39 Speaker 4: Well, this is the best part too, because like when I went over because you know, both unions thank you, but. 00:20:45 Speaker 3: You know and Naomi striking for two. 00:20:47 Speaker 1: Naomi, you're talking to a double striker right now, so don't choot. 00:20:51 Speaker 2: Damn. 00:20:52 Speaker 4: Well, So when I went SORR, we'll go to check in over at the sag Think and it was just funny because you go to w GA and again WJ has been doing right, we're you know, doing it long. 00:21:00 Speaker 3: But it's just like a little chiller. The lady is Sagwage just made me laugh. Just hand your card. You hand them your card, they scan it and that's it. You go. 00:21:07 Speaker 4: So I give us the segway and then I was like, oh, do you guys have any T shirts? Because you know, I need my T because I don't really have shirt, Like I don't wear shirts in general. That's not a T shirt person. I can't picture that. I don't have also a T shirt figure T shirt is like it's like no, thank you, But I said, we're out here. 00:21:22 Speaker 3: What else am I don wearing? You know, out such? So I was like, can I get a sex shirt? And she and she's like yeah, sure and then she like what size are you? 00:21:31 Speaker 4: Full whisper, full whisp stage whisper like that yes, And I said, this is actors, right, because like you're because you're dealing with people where it's like your body, your size, all of that is like don't oh god, don't speak of it unless it's zero and even zero you might have to apologize and saying, wait, really I eat so much, like you know, there's like so much around it hamburgers exactly. 00:21:50 Speaker 3: It was like so much around it, you know that. She was like what size are you? 00:21:54 Speaker 4: And it was just like medium all lodge whatever you got. It was like, why am I throwing my for this? But I just felt like I'm not, but but I understood the impulse. The impulse felt very screen actors guilt when you. 00:22:06 Speaker 3: Said that, though, the tall blonde woman behind you very willy, just like she heard it and like the flesh melted off her scowl right right right she couldn't. 00:22:15 Speaker 1: Yeah, blesser, Wow, Yeah, that's a that's an interesting thing. I feel like WGA did not ask me my size. I think I had to tell. 00:22:24 Speaker 3: Well. 00:22:24 Speaker 4: I remember they were like, we only got three xl left. 00:22:29 Speaker 1: A grand opening or something that's grand opening size where it's like everybody gets a double xcel it doesn't matter who you are. I feel like in the last fifteen to twenty years we finally got to the place where free T shirts were in all sizes for everybody. Yes, absolutely, As an extremely small person, the nineties were hell. They were a real I never got a free T shirt that would fit me. 00:22:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you access? 00:22:50 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think I still might be. It's ridiculous. So I appreciate that. 00:22:55 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, I'm not wearing it. 00:22:57 Speaker 1: I mean I guess to bed I would wear a double xcel or to the lawn or something. 00:23:01 Speaker 4: If you weren't double x out of mow the lawn, you would get caught up in the blades. 00:23:05 Speaker 3: You would be murdered. 00:23:07 Speaker 1: Wedding dress with a train on me, I have my bridesmaids carry Is that their job? Bridesmaids carried the train of the wedding gown? 00:23:18 Speaker 3: They carry you on quin. 00:23:20 Speaker 1: How could I forget? That's how your wedding? 00:23:23 Speaker 3: Yes? Absolutely, absolutely? Uh Bridgard? 00:23:25 Speaker 4: Do you want to talk about, you know, attending two weddings in one day? 00:23:29 Speaker 3: I wait to you. 00:23:30 Speaker 1: Of course, the last time I saw Andy, I've seen you since now, was that your wedding. Yah, you've avoided me. You've avoided me because there was a fight because then you got you two got married, and then we were no longer an option. 00:23:42 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I have to say I've been deleting all your ear voice man told you about this now. 00:23:52 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's part of why you're like now into the bushes right now, because you said I can't be close to it. 00:23:58 Speaker 3: I gotta say it tastes good as I talk, I get these leaves in my mouth. Yea, yeah, and maybe I'm part Brannosaurus, but delicious. 00:24:05 Speaker 1: I went to your wedding. Yes, this was in March. Beautiful wedding. Thank you, such a lovely thing. The vows were, I mean, I was very close to crime, very very cool. 00:24:20 Speaker 3: Here's from Bridger That's one of my favorite songs. That's a great song. 00:24:25 Speaker 1: The problem was I had committed to two weddings, and so then after the ceremony, I became a terror to everyone I talked to because the only thing I wanted to discuss was how stressed I was that I had to go to two weddings. It was the only topic on my mind, sweating. No one cares, No one wants to hear that I'm going to two weddings. I was going to other guests of the podcast, Jessica Gow's wedding, and she was demanding IB there you two were demanding. 00:24:52 Speaker 3: I be your wedding. 00:24:53 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and so it was a I don't think I was bringing a good vibe to either wedding. 00:24:59 Speaker 3: Let's be interesting to the second one. You can relax, because there was a relax to be. Do you feel guilty that you left our wedding? Which wedding? 00:25:09 Speaker 1: Yeah, your perfect wedding. And then Jessica's was a completely different mood. It was like a big Chinese wedding, loud, raucous, and I had no energy to do anything. I was just sitting there kind of at a table that was so big I couldn't talk to anyone. Oh so then I became a bore. I went from kind of a stressmaker to a bore. I will probably never be invited to a wedding again. Years you're invited, Yeah, hopefully Jessica's not renewing her vows. 00:25:37 Speaker 3: I mean, the same day, same day again. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? 00:25:41 Speaker 4: I never in a million years thought I would be splitting an audience because you weren't the only person who I had believed to go to that wedding. 00:25:46 Speaker 3: That's right, I said, name everyone who left our wedding after the ceremony and after the cocktail. I guess was after the at least. 00:25:56 Speaker 4: I feel like, at least get a little sip and a little nibble, little nipple at the very least. 00:26:00 Speaker 3: But then you could go it your way. That's my favorite kind of dinner. 00:26:03 Speaker 1: I don't think I got a sip or a nibble. 00:26:05 Speaker 3: You didn't get I'm sorry. Tell me about there were welcome dressing. There were welcome drinks, and you walked it. 00:26:12 Speaker 1: I think I was too stressed. 00:26:13 Speaker 3: Oh so you chose not to partake. 00:26:15 Speaker 4: I think I was just panicking because I can't even hear that someone didn't have something, because you know, it's all for you, Ridgerd. 00:26:22 Speaker 3: We did it for you, bridger Ther. 00:26:24 Speaker 1: Money was wasted. The money was absolutely wasted. No, I don't think I had any. I didn't consume anything. What I was a mess. 00:26:32 Speaker 3: I was as. 00:26:35 Speaker 1: I feel like I blacked out on the way to the next wedding because I don't remember between weddings. It's kind of this weird, redacted period of my life. 00:26:43 Speaker 3: But it was. 00:26:44 Speaker 1: It was an evening to remember that what you remember. 00:26:47 Speaker 3: Is that you were a stress for everyone except you. It was an evening to remiss. Absolutely. How was it for you too? Was it stressful? It was up until it started? 00:26:57 Speaker 4: Yes, okay, because it was you know so uh you know see above Reandy outdoors. We're committed to an outdoor situation. And the wedding started at four pm. The rain ended at two pm. So literally I was just sitting there like getting ready, looking, you know, like let's have you play face the window for natural light and it's just like sheet separad and I just thought to myself, well, I don't know what the alternative is. 00:27:21 Speaker 1: Were they offering umbrellas or anything. 00:27:23 Speaker 3: We bought umbrellas for everyone. We did have umbrellas, so we had to. So this is the stress because we had to say whether we wanted to purchase tenting. Oh the tuesday before, Oh, that's not fair and that's not enough. That's like too much time to know what the weather's going to be. And on that Tuesday, like we waited till the last minute just refreshing the weather report. 00:27:45 Speaker 4: And it wasn't just honey. We had some special like weather website that a mediaologies referred us to. 00:27:52 Speaker 3: Hour like some special satellite was like data straight to. 00:27:58 Speaker 1: The rest of the year. They the weather really accurate, and. 00:28:02 Speaker 3: We were so and on Tuesday it was like ten percent chance. Yes, we thought okay, And then the minute we made the decision, it just starts ramping up. Like the next day it's like thirty percent. We're like, it was like twenty four thirty. Then it was like until six am until eight a m. 00:28:17 Speaker 4: Until noon. You know, it was one of those things. Was like but again, once you what's the opposite to pull the trigger. Once you said no to the tent, there's no getting the ten. 00:28:24 Speaker 3: You've left the trigger alone. Once you went, you wrong, the gun away in and then thrown the key away to exactly lock box and you're done. 00:28:32 Speaker 4: And then they were like and so then it was okay, we're gonna go on Amazon and order thirty umbrellas. 00:28:37 Speaker 3: I mean then it was sixty my first thirty. We order thirty, and then the winning planter was like, maybe you should order some more. So we ordered another thirty, and then she ordered another thirty, so we had ninety. 00:28:49 Speaker 1: How much just an umbrella cost? 00:28:50 Speaker 4: Well, these were Amazon shee bees. There was I mean, it was still a little bit. You know what, Bridger, You know what the thing is about weddings. 00:28:57 Speaker 3: They make you. 00:29:00 Speaker 4: Break you down so much that you know when you five days out and somebody said it won five hundred dollars. Fun brothers, you say, why not take a kidney? 00:29:08 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah's you add it? 00:29:10 Speaker 1: Drop the little drop into the ocean. 00:29:13 Speaker 3: There's this line you cross, a temporal line you crossed where after at the other side of it, it's just whatever amount they put in front of you, you just hand them your credit card. 00:29:23 Speaker 1: I am the one person on earth that this the wedding would be ruined by me. I would say, no, well, I will let the wedding be ruined. 00:29:30 Speaker 3: I did start to rebel and I'm like, we were people, we can't pay that, please find us a cheaper alternative, and our and I think our planner did not enjoy us for that reason or no, she had followed us right afterwards on Instagram. Yeah, im afterwards, even though as nice as we were in general, we just we just were like, hey, we don't want to pay that. We weren't mean about it, we were like, I don't want to do that because then she would have to do work. And I think she resented that. 00:29:54 Speaker 4: Yeah, because I think I think it's also too I think, certainly for a lot of people. And I think if we were in a different industry, if we had maybe been together as long as we had, there would be a little more drama. 00:30:03 Speaker 1: And magic to it all, right, right. 00:30:05 Speaker 4: But so I think a lot of people do come into weddings be like, this is my special date and the only time I get to do X, Y and Z. 00:30:12 Speaker 3: Let's go for it. 00:30:14 Speaker 4: Whereas we kind of felt like we definitely want to have a gathering of people, but you know, ain't got a broke to do this. What's the what's the simplest way to meet people's needs? What's the cheapest way to meet people's needs or rather not even needs as much as the expectations around the wedding, right, because. 00:30:29 Speaker 3: We just want a good food and we wanted a convivial time. 00:30:32 Speaker 2: That's it. 00:30:33 Speaker 1: That's that's all it. 00:30:34 Speaker 3: Ever should be. That's what you're feeling like. 00:30:36 Speaker 1: Just tell that to anyone else at all. 00:30:39 Speaker 3: There was soda, there was this deserves so rough. 00:30:43 Speaker 1: It didn't feel like bare minimum though, which that's the thing. 00:30:46 Speaker 3: It wasn't. But there were certain things where just like a fee would suddenly appear out of nowhere, as if, as if out of spiritus mundy as As Yates one said. 00:30:57 Speaker 4: As the Yates once said, Okay, well, we can complain about weddings forever. I think insummation our wedding planner on followed us is just a really encapsulation of the process. 00:31:08 Speaker 3: That's an achievement. 00:31:09 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean think talking about stress events, this kind of thing podcast is called I said no gifts, Naomi, you've been on the podcast. I think twice you were on the Holidays special. The first Holiday special you were on full episode, and you're clearly familiar. I've been on your both of your podcasts two times. I was a little surprised you two come, you know, sauntering into my backyard holding a massive bagged object, beautifully wrapped. Yes, expensive gift, trap only the best for you. Is this a gift for me? 00:31:53 Speaker 3: It is indeed a gift for you. I'm sorry to. 00:31:55 Speaker 4: Say it's for me, inde, because I said I would to be trapped again. Okay, I bring him up fit. 00:32:01 Speaker 3: And it has to be ironic. It has to be an ironic. Bridge and I are of the same im older, but I'm from the ironic nineties, all right, and so I'm like it has to be. That's how I read it. 00:32:14 Speaker 4: And because you have, you have been deleting his messages and everything, you were like, I should make some overture, just kind of smooth things over it. 00:32:21 Speaker 3: Overture symphony. Yeah, it's a whole darn orchestra. John Williams. 00:32:25 Speaker 1: John william set the bowl. This is in three target bags. Are you two collecting the target bags under the sink? 00:32:32 Speaker 3: Yes? 00:32:32 Speaker 1: Yes, I mean I've broken my cabinet with Target bag because I'm not kidding. The handle has popped off and it's shameful. 00:32:38 Speaker 3: Wow. But so it was like that I opened it up and that and all the cleaning supplies like poured. Like do you know in a sitcom from the fifties, they would like the boss is coming and they would push everything into the closet bulging. Right, that's what it was. 00:32:54 Speaker 1: I never I barely ever have a reason to use them, but I guess you've got to keep them. 00:32:58 Speaker 4: Well, we've got, you know, we hiding cat litter. Oh, that's that's why we get these. We said that'll be someplace to put all that. 00:33:06 Speaker 1: That is the ideal cat litter thing. Are you paying for the Target Bag? When it asks how many bags did you use? We honestly we don't go in So I guess they are paying. 00:33:15 Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, because it's in the drive up situation. 00:33:17 Speaker 1: Well, I've revealed myself clearly. I've never paid for the bag, and I hopefully never will. I mean, but to be arrested for not paying the ten cent fee, that could be life ruining. 00:33:30 Speaker 3: No, no, no, that could be like the first brick at stone Wall. First you know, sitting down, you could be the person who really. 00:33:41 Speaker 1: Like, let's just be honest, Andy is the one comparing me to all of these. 00:33:46 Speaker 4: You could be God, it's like no, no, no, no please. 00:33:52 Speaker 3: In the Warsaw ghetto during World War Two? Uh well, should I open it here? On the podcast? I think so. I don't you know, I don't know how it usually goes, even though I've listened. I honestly I've listened to episodes. But my memory, much like you after our wedding, like something, I don't know how it usually goes. 00:34:14 Speaker 4: But I say, take apart all three Target bags helped together with basket tape. 00:34:19 Speaker 3: On the podcast, Yeah, which is the best kind of wrapping paper? 00:34:23 Speaker 1: This is the best type of rapping paper, certainly. 00:34:26 Speaker 3: A Rockefeller do it? 00:34:28 Speaker 1: Okay, I believe, Okay, I'm going to open this up. 00:34:54 Speaker 3: I didn't even know. Oh yeah, yeah, the bags Worthy, We're like basically wrapping. Wait what is this? 00:35:07 Speaker 1: It's a piece of art, a piece of art on a board. It's blue, white and pink, and it says, but I don't wait is it a full sentence evening news? 00:35:18 Speaker 3: Oh? 00:35:19 Speaker 1: Happy days, mash we're getting and white? 00:35:23 Speaker 3: Oh? 00:35:23 Speaker 1: I didn't even Monday Evening, Monday Evening News, Monday evening evening news. 00:35:30 Speaker 3: So look that's in white Monday Evening, okay, And then the rest of it. 00:35:33 Speaker 1: Is, oh, is this a TV schedule from Should I guess which year? Sure, let's read the rest and oh, yeah, because I'm seeing some more modern things here, Evening News, Happy Days, Mash Jeopardy Wheel. 00:35:48 Speaker 3: Should have gone. 00:35:49 Speaker 1: I feel like it's a little disrespectful to not go full Wheel of Fortune. But we'll leave it a family feud, last. 00:35:55 Speaker 3: Standing, last man standing. 00:35:58 Speaker 1: Last man cocaine dealer Tim Allen doesus back? 00:36:04 Speaker 3: Is that? Do I have to say alleged he was? 00:36:06 Speaker 1: We all know that he got arrested. There's like a mug shot. You can say whatever you want about Tim Allen. 00:36:12 Speaker 3: I don't care. 00:36:13 Speaker 1: At a cornwall, Blackish and then PBS News Hour, Big Bang, Goldberg's King of Queen's Law and Order n C I s l A. What a way to finish an evening. 00:36:29 Speaker 3: That's a complete evening. Well this is it from this year? Certainly? 00:36:33 Speaker 1: No? Well no, because I'm thinking this was lying around the house. 00:36:36 Speaker 3: Well, that's a piece of actual art. I wanted to look. I want to make sure that we actually got you something and you might. 00:36:42 Speaker 1: Like that I might actually be able to use right. 00:36:45 Speaker 3: Right, so, uh, the painter is Steve Keane, who is a very well known Now here's the thing. I actually know that I remember the last time we were at one of your parties. Here at the very end, I found out that you had read the music site that I used to write reviews for. Of course, so I'm like, okay, we probably like the same music, right. Steve Kean paints famously paints like covers for like Pavement and The Silver Juice. 00:37:13 Speaker 1: Of course, this looks so familiar now if it all adds up? 00:37:16 Speaker 3: So and did he do it? Bring your personal Steve Keane, you can't give this to me? That seems we have so many around the house. 00:37:25 Speaker 4: He loves Steve Kean. I said, you know what, if he wants to give it, he can get paint them. 00:37:29 Speaker 3: He paints them on moss, and he sells them relatively cheap. So this is not like, Look, if you end up selling it for thousands of dollars, buy us a meal. 00:37:41 Speaker 1: This is a you're setting up a legal trap for me, essentially. 00:37:45 Speaker 3: On recorded media. Now you owe us a meal if for some reason you sell them in the future. 00:37:49 Speaker 1: You're going to wait for the Internet to crumble, so this audio is no longer available, and then you sue you don't think I. 00:37:56 Speaker 3: Keep MP three's of all the podcasts. We're a chesting case for this very very scenario. 00:38:02 Speaker 1: But the scenarios is you're giving it to make. 00:38:04 Speaker 3: The scenario is that I said, on record of media, you owe me if you sell us the future. 00:38:10 Speaker 1: To be sued for a dinner. 00:38:12 Speaker 3: Hey, dream bigger, you're out here asking for a hot meal. Make my day. 00:38:18 Speaker 1: Wow, this is amazing. This is actually an incredible thing to get. 00:38:21 Speaker 3: Then well, then, well what you understood? 00:38:23 Speaker 1: But I never guessed the year, So I'm gonna say twenty twenty one. 00:38:28 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, we've got Blackish, but last Man's Standing didn't that go away? 00:38:32 Speaker 1: That did go away, But that feels like something might be in reruns or something. Blackish went away. Yeah, but that was recent. 00:38:39 Speaker 3: That was the last year, forever, order, forever of Queens. 00:38:46 Speaker 4: So this is also a late night situation, right, because once we get into King of Queens, that's a repair. 00:38:50 Speaker 3: Right, That's like eleven o'clock. 00:38:52 Speaker 1: You got those right, You've got eleven o'clock hour, right, after PBS News Hour. You're dealing with a lot of repeat repeats. Yeah, so I don't know. I'm go my guess would be twenty twenty one. But when did you buy it? 00:39:03 Speaker 3: Yeah? That feels right, right, it feels right. Yeah. Also he signed it above s K twenty one, so I'm gonna guess it's where. Yeah, we couldn't. I couldn't tell. 00:39:13 Speaker 4: Well, but you can know this is well. And that was very nice to you to get street. 00:39:18 Speaker 3: Very thoughtful. 00:39:19 Speaker 1: I mean, naoly. The thing you brought me last time was disgusted. It was the vanilla vanilla. They're still in my cupboard and they must be they must be. 00:39:31 Speaker 3: Those are good. No, they were the vanilla. What the vanilla almond? No, they neversted like teeth. 00:39:38 Speaker 1: Yeah, they looked and tasted like they should be green. They're still in the cupboard. I wonder if they're chewable at this point. I can't imagine. 00:39:48 Speaker 3: Definitely not go. 00:39:48 Speaker 4: You could turn them like plug holes or a kilo rodent. 00:39:54 Speaker 3: Oh vanilla. Sorry, I was like I got stuck on the vanilla and I missed the almond part. 00:39:58 Speaker 4: Well, it's also supposed to be a gummy, like a g he is not made to be creamy, like it shouldn't be creamy exactly. 00:40:03 Speaker 3: You want to say something, but I said, you know what, Bridga. 00:40:07 Speaker 4: Made me get something. So I said, he gonna take this. You know, I make people regret interacting with me as often as possible. 00:40:16 Speaker 1: Do you two have a ton of art around the house? Steve Keena side. 00:40:20 Speaker 3: And yes, his army and he just wants bare walls. She she wants it to be giving institutional. 00:40:27 Speaker 4: No, I wanted to be giving Nancy Meyer's cream tope beage. Like I like, I like a kind of a I like a cool neutral wall, not necessarily even like creamer beige, but like, you know, I love like a bluish gray or something, you know what I mean, like one of those like new constructions where they're like, here's a blue build wall or like a deep green. 00:40:45 Speaker 3: I don't really yeah, but I'm not again, like the. 00:40:49 Speaker 4: Stuff adies put up. I'm like, yes, nice, but I don't have an impulse. 00:40:53 Speaker 1: You're just okay with a being neutral? 00:40:55 Speaker 4: Yes, And I also don't know where to start because I'm like, well, what would be an image that I would want to look forever? And then whenever you come by, whenever somebody come by, you gotta explain it to him. 00:41:05 Speaker 3: So then it's got to have a moment in a story. 00:41:07 Speaker 4: I don't know nothing. 00:41:08 Speaker 1: That is the panic. 00:41:10 Speaker 4: What gonna I'm like, I got this at World cost plus World Market. It's like, what do you want me to say about it? 00:41:17 Speaker 3: Never? 00:41:18 Speaker 4: But we have one wall that does is near and dear, which is like the wall of Like. 00:41:24 Speaker 1: That's a I mean, that is absolutely an easy choice to make. 00:41:27 Speaker 3: Yes, and we've gotten a lot. All the animals have been rendered of different artists, different styles. 00:41:34 Speaker 1: But you'll never regret those. 00:41:35 Speaker 3: The piece of resistances, of course, Mabel rendered by a couple's therapy listener, John. 00:41:43 Speaker 4: A highly you know, realistic painter. Like he's like submitted. He's always like a finalist in like the stamp seemed like a duck stamp, like he can really he's giving you that fur hunting. 00:41:52 Speaker 1: It is stunning. 00:41:54 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's center. That's center, of course. 00:41:56 Speaker 1: I mean that's the only thing that could be the fact that it has other arts surrounding. It's kind of embarrassing, but that's a beautiful picture. 00:42:03 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:42:03 Speaker 1: I think the good default if you're if you don't want to go out and buy arts. It's just get a picture of your dog. Yeah, we've got two giant pictures of Eadie on the wall. How's Mabel doing? I thought I imagined Mabel, Mabel would come today. But then the heat, the heat that. 00:42:17 Speaker 3: It was the heat. 00:42:17 Speaker 4: And also because I didn't know what Eadie's stand like, you know, was she going to be out here side of a window and out and then they would make each other crazy. I said, we can't even, We can't even. So she's home now, she's got you know, the AC's on energy saver. 00:42:32 Speaker 3: She's doing better than all of us, got water. She's got Bob's Burgers playing. 00:42:36 Speaker 1: Oh good do you leave something on all the time? 00:42:38 Speaker 3: Always bombs Bob's Burger. 00:42:40 Speaker 1: That seems like a comforting thing for an animal, right. 00:42:43 Speaker 4: Like, it's not too crazy, nothing's going on. It can't really get you know what I mean, Like there's no foul language from my child. 00:42:49 Speaker 1: Right. 00:42:50 Speaker 3: Also, we are helping out people we know who ride on the show with residuals. But we now know that they're getting like what like nothing. 00:42:58 Speaker 1: Basically they're probably getting about it for a year and they look at the residuals portal on the website and they see that they're gonna get a residual and then it's a dollar. 00:43:07 Speaker 4: And they had negative eighty three cents. 00:43:09 Speaker 1: How did you get negative eighty three? 00:43:11 Speaker 4: I don't know how that math adds Upreacher. It was a negative eighty three, so of course they're not sending it to me. But when you go to the portal you see minus. 00:43:18 Speaker 1: Can you say what project it was for? 00:43:20 Speaker 3: Family guy? 00:43:21 Speaker 1: Family guy gave you negative eighty three cents? 00:43:23 Speaker 4: So I don't understand. I don't understand how it was negative eighty three? 00:43:27 Speaker 3: Nice today that all you see is violence and movies and sex on TV. Nope, no where are those good. 00:43:34 Speaker 4: Old We're in love. 00:43:40 Speaker 3: Don't worry more than ever, not more than ever. 00:43:46 Speaker 1: Okay, so you leave something on for Mabel. She's minding her business. Does she have any off limits things in the house. 00:43:51 Speaker 4: Well, she's in the bedroom, so she's waiting because of the cat, and nothing has happened. However, Mabel does not trust her to not cause a mess. Right, But in twenty we even even initially too, we have a tiny little like lower it's like what a six inch tall gate? Maybe we tend to just over the litter box room because she will go in and try to eat poop. So that was at first it was like keep her way between like getting at the cats and try to eat the poop. 00:44:18 Speaker 3: It can't happen. 00:44:18 Speaker 4: Now we have a little tiny gate that kind of she can't go in there to get the poop. But now it's like, you know, is she gonna bother him? It's like I don't know, Like she's so tiny and does barely has teeth as it is, I'm like, I just don't want to take the chance. 00:44:36 Speaker 3: But you know, so it's like it's like, so we just gotta but the thing, you know, we're not. 00:44:39 Speaker 4: It's not tiny, Like she's comfortable headache, She's got a king bed to herself. 00:44:42 Speaker 3: She's a tiny lady. Yeah, so she's got toys, she has all her friends. Yeah, like whatever she's got to because she needs and she's watching her stories. 00:44:49 Speaker 1: So I mean the dream, exact absolute dream all we ever wanted, we have to. I mean the setup we now have when we leave the house for eightie is if you walked in and you'd be like, oh, this is a dangerous home. What because she can't be on the couch or the armchair in our living room because she digs and destroys. So we're putting we're taking all of the cushions off every time we we're taking the off, we're putting a foot stool on the chair, we're putting bar chairs on the couch. 00:45:14 Speaker 3: It looks out of control. 00:45:16 Speaker 1: And then when we have a dog sitter, we have to explain to them you have to basically set up this trap every time you leave our house. It's not a good situation, but it's giving home alone. 00:45:24 Speaker 3: It's a little home alone. 00:45:26 Speaker 1: It's a little uh wet bandits are on their way sort of situation. But you've got to do what you've got to do, especially with a dog that wants to enjoy its life exactly. But Edie ultimately just stays on the bed. 00:45:39 Speaker 4: Oh okay, but you think it now, But when you say she's a digger chewer, like, is it because you've gone? 00:45:46 Speaker 3: Is this like her anxiety of like when when they return? 00:45:48 Speaker 4: So let me like chew on a cushion. 00:45:51 Speaker 1: Or No, it's just I want what I want and I'll get it when I want. So it's you know, like because if the options available, she'll take it. But when the option is available when we're home or whatever, she won't take it. She'll go to the bed and have the time of her life. But as soon as we leave, she wants to be on different things. She wants to have a taste of everything. 00:46:10 Speaker 4: Uh huh uh huh uh huh. 00:46:11 Speaker 3: So we've had you know, she's it's a little much. But I know parenting is not easy. It's not easy. They're so wilful. 00:46:19 Speaker 4: They don't respect you, and they just take and take. 00:46:21 Speaker 3: How long have you had Mabel though? Four years? Coming up poor? 00:46:24 Speaker 1: And how old was she when you got her? 00:46:26 Speaker 2: Mm? Five? 00:46:29 Speaker 3: We think, yeah, five ish? 00:46:31 Speaker 1: So she's about eads? 00:46:32 Speaker 3: Which picket fences? 00:46:33 Speaker 1: Five ish five ish Finkle? 00:46:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, yes, the dibik in the Cohen Brothers. Simple man? 00:46:41 Speaker 1: What is a serious man serious man thing? 00:46:43 Speaker 3: When you said picket fences, I was thinking of the TV show five A Shinkle played one of the Oh five ish is a real human's name, and that character name no. Five ish, five a sh Finkle, five ash Finkle. That's the person's name. Yes, that was someone who made it in Hollywood, ye read you who changed their name because they thought they needed to make up John Stewart. I'm thinking of you. Five ish Finkl was like, forget it. Good point what I want to do? All the voice, That's what I talk when I like my dad, who is first generation. Uh, you know my grandparents came from Europe, from Western Europe, Paul and Romania, Pale of Pale, of Russia, Pale. I always give him, even though he was born in New York City. I give him that voice. Hell with me, Andy's dad? Would you may be like a bagel? It's like, has he ever heard it? Probably not? He thought up until twenty nineteen he thought podcasts were videos. 00:47:53 Speaker 1: So oh interest interesting. 00:47:56 Speaker 4: Could have accessed those two, but he didn't want it. My mom fun about says, it's fun when you're out there, and they just said, we don't want to know. 00:48:03 Speaker 1: My mom recently found out that I have her and my dad in my phone as Jewel and Lenny Krafts, and trying to explain that she actually took it pretty well. She was because my dad was calling. I was at home. My dad starts calling, well, I'm in the car. There's a picture of Jewel and it says Jewel. 00:48:21 Speaker 3: My mom was like, what is happenings? Calling you? Does she need? Is she back in her car? 00:48:29 Speaker 1: But she enjoyed it. It's been ten years and I'm not changing it now. 00:48:33 Speaker 3: Wait what I just said. 00:48:35 Speaker 1: I was like, uh, I. 00:48:37 Speaker 3: Don't know why. It's a joke. 00:48:38 Speaker 1: I thought, Oh, to have people Jewel and Lenny Grafts calling me, what can be more exciting? And I also have friend Cheryl Crow in there as well. And it's confusing for everybody. But it's a fun little thing you can do with your friends and family. Yeah, kind of a sign a celebrity to them and. 00:48:54 Speaker 3: Confusing for because to know what it is. It's confusing for. 00:48:57 Speaker 1: Me because I'll try to text these people and I'll frequently type their name and I'm like, why isn't there? Why aren't they coming up? I'm like, oh, I need, I need to text Cheryl Crow. 00:49:05 Speaker 3: But the fact that you committed to it, it's despite that every time you go to text their parents. It's confusing. You stuck with this for ten years. It's not gonna stop. I mean, why would I change now? But feel I feel how do you like to confuse yourself? Why do you close to you? Great question? 00:49:24 Speaker 1: That is a good question. I'm not currently in therapy, Naomi, and so that's something I'll bring up at the next person that I find that I am eventually disappointed in. 00:49:33 Speaker 3: I've got to find a new therapist. 00:49:35 Speaker 1: What a night. 00:49:35 Speaker 3: Oh my god. 00:49:36 Speaker 4: I know it's so hard because you know what, anybody could graduate an anybody can get the degree. 00:49:42 Speaker 3: Do they have the skills? 00:49:43 Speaker 1: Yes, there's a reductrous headline that says red flag this therapist has availability. And that's how I feel every time I'm like, oh they would see me, well, then certainly they're not a good therapist. 00:49:56 Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's how I felt. 00:49:57 Speaker 4: What I would I had to go to a guy I know recently, and I had to eventually have a uterus uterus biopsy in the ute. It's terrible. Well it's get in there. It's god awful. It's and no anistusion. 00:50:09 Speaker 3: Did you know? 00:50:10 Speaker 4: There was just putting the pipe past the cervix getting into the ute. 00:50:14 Speaker 1: Is it an option to have? 00:50:16 Speaker 4: No, it's not all I said. I go because literally she was like, she was like, I'm gonna have to do this. She was like, Okay, we're gonna do this, and she goes shees just breathe, just she goes breathe, just like drop your pelvits, just breathe. 00:50:28 Speaker 3: And then she. 00:50:29 Speaker 4: Goes in there and like, literally, I think what happens is she goes in with one thing first, and I was already upset by that. 00:50:37 Speaker 3: Then she was. 00:50:37 Speaker 4: Coming in with the actual like what's gonna scrape? And I was like, Nope, nope, I can't. 00:50:42 Speaker 2: I can't. 00:50:42 Speaker 3: Like, I was like, I can't do that. 00:50:45 Speaker 4: And then I was like, but then, of course we need the biopsy to know what's going on. 00:50:48 Speaker 3: So I'm like, well, you're already in there, but I go, okay with that. 00:50:50 Speaker 4: Another She's like, I normally do it one to three times, and I go, I can't make it that long. So I hope you got a good little sample from that one. And I said and I said, and I go, there's no world where you knock someone out or you know, numb them from the waist down, because I said, I could literally be knocked out to have a toothpolt. 00:51:09 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're using the word scraping, I'm going fully under. 00:51:11 Speaker 4: Thank you under. And she said no. And you know, I thought maybe it should have been weird that she was available like two days from when I looked her up, do you know what I mean? Thing was Thursday, And I said, you know, maybe she shouldn't be two free, it should be like five months away. 00:51:30 Speaker 1: They should be like, we can get you in the next January. 00:51:32 Speaker 3: And she was like, she was like, come on, let's scrape it. She's like, what else, have a dupe? 00:51:35 Speaker 1: I've done nothing else to. 00:51:36 Speaker 4: Do, Like, let's get out there. 00:51:37 Speaker 3: Maybe she wanted, maybe she was excited to and that's why she cleared her calendar. Let's get at it. But I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe. 00:51:45 Speaker 4: There's like times when you really think about how like medicine is just like medicine wasn't really anything until like nineteen fifty. Yeah, And there are times when you really can sense that in certain procedures where it's like, oh, we haven't gotten very. 00:51:57 Speaker 1: Far more and more like you kind of as you become an adult, realize, oh, they're just like somebody like me who has a job and might be bad at it or might hate that they're at work. 00:52:07 Speaker 4: Today exactly, or like might have like not kept up with the trends right or like meaning the things in medicine where was like do you know about this thing going on with people? 00:52:16 Speaker 3: No, that was a whole thing in scrubs if you remember, no tell me about scrub Doctor Kelso and other older doctors were keeping up with stuff. Yeah, well that's what I mean. 00:52:26 Speaker 4: The older doctors, the ones who would be like, yeah, anesthesia, here's a fifth of whiskey, let's. 00:52:30 Speaker 3: Go, you know, like they're very they're really giving you wartime treatment. 00:52:34 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:52:35 Speaker 3: No, no, no, they're like, here, I'll put some leeches on you and that should We'll let some of your blood and that should be Yeah. 00:52:40 Speaker 1: Is nobody checking in with these people? Somebody check in? Do the people who send the grade for the restaurants over I don't care. 00:52:47 Speaker 3: What literally, anyone, not just the AMA I have, anyone. 00:52:51 Speaker 1: As long as somebody is just like holding them accountable in any way. 00:52:54 Speaker 3: Someone from Yelp, someone from. 00:52:57 Speaker 4: Yeah should do it, because that writing will effect how long do you stay in business? 00:53:01 Speaker 1: Oh, a Yelp doctor or dentist review is the most worthless thing in the world because no one's doing a positive review of that. So you're only getting a pure horror story, right, things about like I got a blood infection or whatever, and you're like, oh, well, then I can't go to this person. Either didn't happen or the person like the situation was like lightning striking. 00:53:21 Speaker 3: Yes, or the person writing the review had not been to the doctor for a year, for like a decade. He found all this stuff and said, I had three different kinds of cancer. What a quack art? 00:53:36 Speaker 1: I've got this art here? 00:53:37 Speaker 3: Do either you do art? 00:53:38 Speaker 1: Are you painters? 00:53:40 Speaker 3: Drawers? Drafts? Speed draft? Speed drafts? Do art? Art? Spiegelman and I hooked up once? You wouldn't do both? Not at all. Did you ever make out with a man named art? No? Do you want me to? No? Of course not. We're married. 00:53:55 Speaker 1: I don't know that any of us has made out with a man named art. 00:53:58 Speaker 3: Interesting? What's going on there? 00:54:01 Speaker 1: The arts of the world are just not getting it? 00:54:03 Speaker 3: Sorry, Arthur's. 00:54:06 Speaker 1: No. 00:54:06 Speaker 4: I I have always wanted to. I do not have the skill. It's like I literally have a thing where you know, what I see and what my hand can do are not the same thing. 00:54:14 Speaker 3: And I find it very frustrating. I did. I was an editor of an art magazine, you know, I didn't know I might have known this actual. 00:54:20 Speaker 4: She did American Artist Magazine, And then I was the editor in chief of Watercolor water You were c Yese. Do you remember when I got you a gig writing about an artist, and the person you the person you interviewed, ended up being. 00:54:36 Speaker 3: The cover piece. 00:54:37 Speaker 4: So it was like cover by Andy mckerman. And I was like, yes, we are a man. 00:54:42 Speaker 1: Lovesh, you were a neo baby for Watercolor magazine. 00:54:45 Speaker 3: I was, well, not husband, then a boyfriend. 00:54:51 Speaker 4: You were, ayfriend, gotta give him somebody so we could do something. Five hundred article, great and. 00:54:57 Speaker 1: Five hundred article. This was a different time print was. 00:55:00 Speaker 4: Dying and so it was because this was I mean because I was there until twenty thirteen January twenty thirteen, so yeah, it would have been like twenty eleven or twelve one. 00:55:09 Speaker 3: I was and I was like you want to I was like, just talk to him, write it all down. I'll figure it out. 00:55:13 Speaker 1: At this point, you would get a like a free tote for writing that article. 00:55:16 Speaker 3: Yes, maybe, I. 00:55:17 Speaker 4: Mean, it wouldn't even be in a magazine, it wouldn't be on paper because we were very quickly bought out by you know, we had a. 00:55:22 Speaker 3: Rival, and we were purchased by a rival. Can we name the rifle watercolor artists? 00:55:27 Speaker 4: So there was American artists, watercolor American arts was it Colon watercolor. 00:55:32 Speaker 3: It was more like next line. I was okay. 00:55:34 Speaker 4: Then it was watercolor artists, and so you know, you know, they were just making their money on people being confused, of course, and we were bought by them. 00:55:42 Speaker 3: We were bought by them. Are they still in print? I don't know. 00:55:46 Speaker 1: Somebody check in on water. 00:55:47 Speaker 4: Color artists, see if they're working, See if they're working.

I had never met either of them. That bonded us in a way that you have no idea you two. The podcast is wonderful. People should go listen to the podcast. People need to listen to podcasts. 00:59:09 Speaker 3: What else are you gonna do? Now? 00:59:10 Speaker 1: What? What else are you doing with your life? That's the big question. 00:59:13 Speaker 3: What else do you do when you're taking the garbage out and sweeping the cat litter up? What else are you doing? Or? 00:59:19 Speaker 1: As we said, cruising down the coast, the Yes the PCH blasting Couple's Therapy. I said, no gifts, no other podcasts, no other music. One. 00:59:31 Speaker 3: I see you in public, and I see you listening to another podcast, I'm gonna slap the phone and or player out of your hands. And or player and or player I can get in the sewer. 00:59:41 Speaker 1: That's gonna give some advice. You're going down the PCH. You have one of these two podcasts on. You're also actively writing a negative review of another podcast. 00:59:50 Speaker 3: Absolutely, what a way. 00:59:51 Speaker 1: To cruise into the ocean, just die writing a negative podcast for someone else's or yes, writing a negative review for another podcast. We have to play the game. Gift you a curse. I'm gonna name three things. You're gonna tell me if there are a gift or a curse, and why? Then I'll tell you if you're right or wrong, because there are correct answers, and you two have to agree. 01:00:10 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're the count of three together. Okay. I was gonna say, you could say whether it's a gift or curse or and we'll go back and forth, and then the other person has to say, why, what do you want your partner's choices? Oh, defend your I defend here. 01:00:27 Speaker 4: Okay, so we'll collaborate then, Okay we can because I said, you're making the game longer and Bridger has a heart out. 01:00:31 Speaker 3: Yeah, brain is bacon? Okay. 01:00:35 Speaker 1: Number one This is from a listener named Hannah. Hannah suggested gift or a curse When you order a burger or sandwich at a dining restaurant and they give you a small prepackaged bag of chips in lieu of fries. 01:00:48 Speaker 3: Curse? Why who I can go buy myself a bag of chips anywhere, literally anywhere. You could walk into any store coconuts, You can walk a hmv H and they got chips at the counter. You can get a fast fashion. Yeah, I don't go out to a sit down restaurant a prepackaged bag of bag. 01:01:15 Speaker 4: It's a back of cap cod Get out of here. 01:01:16 Speaker 3: What are my new vau race? 01:01:17 Speaker 4: What a costco? 01:01:19 Speaker 3: Get out of here? 01:01:23 Speaker 1: Of course it's a curse, even if it's not prepackaged. Do not give me a chip with a hamburger at your restaurant. Do you think you think you have a a professional kitchen? Have the fryer put some French fries in there? 01:01:36 Speaker 4: How do you buy an air friar if you ain't got time for grief? I don't care what I want the French fries. 01:01:40 Speaker 1: I do not want to see a potato chip at a rest rand. 01:01:44 Speaker 3: Do you know what you're giving me a potato chip with that hamburger? You're probably doing something sinister in the back. You're stealing wages from your kitchen staff. I'm gonna say that right now. If you are serving potato chips with your hamburger. If if you go to a restaurant and that's what they serve you. I need you person to write a negative Yelp review of that restaurant and then report them absolutely to whatever the body is that like checks in, sins, arrest the owner, just the top it's a top down. It's a top down. Issues is whoever owns the place, the manager, maybe. 01:02:23 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe the chef. If the chef decided that's on the menu, no ship, no chef. 01:02:31 Speaker 3: Don't you hate. 01:02:31 Speaker 4: I don't really like this trend of like hip cool restaurants being like made potato chips. 01:02:36 Speaker 3: I don't like it. 01:02:37 Speaker 4: And I'm also like they never had a good I'm a good homemade potato chip first of all. 01:02:41 Speaker 3: One first of all, and that it's also like if I wanted chips, I got it, a butt take a bait, I would drive. I would drive to the Pringles factory. 01:02:52 Speaker 4: Also six seven dollars because again these are trying to be cute. They're gonna charge you six or seven bucksa. 01:02:59 Speaker 1: No, read dollars for a family sized bag at Ralph's. Thank you, I will, but now that okay, Actually I'm not going to point out the exception to the rule, because there is one in my life. Tokyo Fried Chicken in Monterey Park. They do have a good potato chip, but I would still be happier with the French fry. So ultimately it is a homemade chip, so. 01:03:19 Speaker 3: They'd I just want to say, the sample size of all restaurants in the world, you have chosen a single restaurant. So I'm going to say that is statistically not useful. 01:03:30 Speaker 1: Right, Absolutely, we're worthless in this conversation. Okay, you got that one right. I'm glad we're all on the same page with that. Okay, Number two Jennifer the listener, Jennifer has. 01:03:40 Speaker 3: Written in Jennifer gift curse. 01:03:43 Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna type that in for a later game, Jennifer, somebody's gonna have to answer to me. Jennifer the name gift or a curse. Future guests is going to happen to pick that. Um oh, and I'll write you two as the people who suggest it. Jennifer the listener has written in gift or a curse, winking at someone slash someone winking at. 01:04:07 Speaker 3: You, curse, why get out of here. 01:04:11 Speaker 4: Also, you're saying someone the winking like you have a specify relationship. So I'm gonna say, like, whenever someone winks. It's immediately sexual, it's secretive, it's nefarious. It implies, it implies secrets. Okay, it implies lies, it implies a hidden agenda. And if we're just like out and around and stuff, and then someone's like a wink, like, don't worry. 01:04:34 Speaker 3: I got you wink. No no, no, no, no stamp, what are you Dennis the menace? I don't need this. I don't need your little wink while you play a trick on me. I don't need your little like like chic cannery. 01:04:48 Speaker 4: When are we wink? When are we winking? What's the context of the wink? I mean, I'm just trying to think of when someone would wink like every day. I'm then like and again, and I got your situation. Sometime I was like, let's say you're like out and like, you know, a cool barista you because because it's like I got you as. 01:05:05 Speaker 3: An extra ounce in your glass. 01:05:06 Speaker 4: Extra pump foam or something. But it's like what now, that's all I can say. I'm like so grossed out by a wink. 01:05:15 Speaker 3: Oh, I hate to hear it. 01:05:18 Speaker 1: It's a gift, it's sexual, it's secretive, it's nefarious. Something's going on. You said all of these things. 01:05:26 Speaker 3: They're all wonderful things with the wink. 01:05:28 Speaker 1: A wink at the restaurant winking at me and knows I'm getting a little something extra and there's something sexual implied, which why not. I'm at the restaurant. We're having a flirtatious experience. The flight attendant is winking at me, a stranger and winking at me. 01:05:46 Speaker 3: Now I'm the threat level is high and my heart is pounding. I love a wink. You know, Bridger, you order a hamburger, She's like, hay inseet of fries. I brought you some chips and she winks at you. That's the wink. That's what the wink is. 01:06:06 Speaker 1: Society collapses in that moment. That but that situation. No one ever winks when they bring chips instead of fries. They're begging for forgiveness. 01:06:14 Speaker 3: Well, it's very we do things a little differently here. You know, we're not like the other restaurants. 01:06:18 Speaker 4: And it's like, could you be like every other restaurant? Oh my god, a wink, Richard, that means you like to flirt with disaster. 01:06:29 Speaker 3: I am on the Oh I knew it. Andy, I did you need to step up? 01:06:34 Speaker 1: Okay, you got one so far out of two. Actually, I'm going to I don't mean back pedaling, do I hear in the distance? 01:06:41 Speaker 3: No, no, I say that, I don't mean to overpower you. I don't mean to say that like it's it's a fight of egos, it's a battle of wills or the fact that there's two of us to have interesting. We're correct, and I think you need to change. 01:06:57 Speaker 1: But what you forget is I'm currently host of the podcast, which has the power of at least ten people. So I'm over I'm able to overpower at least ten guests. 01:07:09 Speaker 3: But what if we overpowered you that became the host. Oh now, I would be. 01:07:13 Speaker 1: Happy with that, to have the podcast commandeered. Has that ever happened before? 01:07:18 Speaker 3: I said no gifts? This is Naomi Paragans and time outside. It's already been a day and it's noon. The weather it's ninety degrees. Cammy, that's that's my bridge. That's enough. 01:07:37 Speaker 1: You've cut the legs out from underneath the show. We're gonna have to cancel it. Everybody sees me now they surrounded my spiders. Okay, one more you have one more chance? 01:07:48 Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, Okay, Andy, we can bring this back. Look at me. We have to be on the same tree as zero. 01:07:52 Speaker 1: A listener named Amy has written in Gift or a Curse Disney DJ Night a dance party for adults to drink and dance to their favorite Disney tunes. 01:08:01 Speaker 3: Gift or a curse? 01:08:03 Speaker 1: Curse. 01:08:04 Speaker 3: Oh, you're gonna say gift. You pause for a moment. 01:08:06 Speaker 4: Anything that's a gift for him. It's a gift for a Disney Those people should not get a gift. Okay, then, so we're gonna say curse. Yeah, gonna say curse, curse Disney DJ Knight with. 01:08:21 Speaker 3: There shouldn't be Disney Knights. There should be DJ Nights, and certainly there shouldn't be the center of the Venn diagram of those two things. They should not exist at all on this earth. I'm going to say, Okay, Andy running Yeah, yeah, I'm running against Adam Shift. 01:08:39 Speaker 1: All right, and my last what's his opinion on this issue? 01:08:43 Speaker 3: He probably loves DJ Knights. Oh yeah, that's a real that's a real glad hent yea for him. He goes around there, shaking hands, giving a handful of m B m A, just going crazy. Yeah, the most plastic man I've ever met. 01:08:56 Speaker 1: So you're saying curse. Yeah, I would love to disagree here. There's no way I can defend this thing. There was no First of all, what. 01:09:06 Speaker 3: Are we dancing to? What Disney song? Well? The remixes? If you're dancing, you gotta get the remixed And when they do song on the South stuff, you really it's like, why did they not go back into the fault? 01:09:25 Speaker 4: And what's it's glow. 01:09:31 Speaker 3: Now? 01:09:31 Speaker 1: And you're like winning me over to the Disney DJ night. I want to be dancing to that. 01:09:35 Speaker 3: Oh god, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. No, it's a curse. I mean, what is a DJ night? 01:09:40 Speaker 1: Is that not just a dance night? 01:09:42 Speaker 3: But I guess when they bring a DJ into the Disney space, but they're divorce it from Disney. 01:09:48 Speaker 1: What is just a simple this DJ night here at the club? 01:09:51 Speaker 3: Is it a TV show where people go to a club. I've never been one in real life, but I see TV shows. 01:09:56 Speaker 4: Are people that are a club and TV show there's always twenty people trying to make it look like the background. 01:10:02 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like it's well Land. You can see everyone doing everything. 01:10:07 Speaker 1: I just saw mission impossible to move the new movie clearly a COVID production. Because there's a giant, glitzy dance party. There are nine people at that part. It could not be real dance. 01:10:19 Speaker 3: Oh I wish I would have been invited. I would have gone to that one. That sounds like people. I am surprised. I'm surprised. I'm surprised. 01:10:27 Speaker 4: Tom said, didn't say bring me in a hundred extra interesting. 01:10:30 Speaker 1: Yeah, he kind of gets. He's a man who gets what he wants. 01:10:32 Speaker 3: He gets what he wants it. I believe he knows that he can't ever be sick. Right, He's like, this is this is not fault, the Zena's fault. 01:10:41 Speaker 4: Yeah, Zenus said these people were too low tone to be in here. 01:10:44 Speaker 3: Get them out. 01:10:46 Speaker 1: You two got two out of three. Did I say anything about Disney Night? 01:10:49 Speaker 3: I think it's a. 01:10:51 Speaker 4: Into it like that, Like, are you do you like dancing clubbing scenarios in general? 01:10:57 Speaker 1: I do not. I have never been to a dance club. I've never danced at a club. 01:11:02 Speaker 3: I love dancing. Have you ever been a shirtless with foam all around? 01:11:06 Speaker 2: Oh? 01:11:07 Speaker 3: The dream. 01:11:09 Speaker 1: I'm clearly someone who's always in that scenario. I'm going straight from this recording. 01:11:13 Speaker 4: Well, considering you're you like a wink very much that you want a club setting. If you like winking, you're doing God knows what. 01:11:22 Speaker 3: I swear. I do love to dance. 01:11:24 Speaker 1: I never get an opportunity, but it's because I don't want to go to a club. But I would probably have the time of my life at a club. Let's be honest. 01:11:30 Speaker 3: With a club sandwich just like two pieces of bread with sweat and foaming. 01:11:33 Speaker 1: No, well that would you would get a wink with that as well? 01:11:37 Speaker 4: I think, well, you know they have like because I was gonna say my thing was that I wish it was more like I wish it was outdoors. 01:11:42 Speaker 3: I wish they were during the day. 01:11:44 Speaker 4: And I don't even even for COVID reasons as much as like I think I associate clubbing with you know, it's like it's like two am. We're in a warehouse nowhere, Like it's got like there's a lot you have to do to get to that place, both emotionally and physically. And I'm like, what, you should just make a dance fundy to park me all out here and it's like two PM, and I feel like it would be so much easier to partake of like a dance time. 01:12:07 Speaker 3: You make a good point. 01:12:08 Speaker 1: I feel like I could do a nice six thirty club. That's when I would be having a great time. After that, I'm getting a little sleepy. 01:12:16 Speaker 3: Yeah, ye, little sleepy club in DC. 01:12:22 Speaker 1: Yeah, with the six thirty c get me at the six thirty club. 01:12:25 Speaker 3: I will be all over the place. If you got two out of three, congratulations, not bad, not three, but sure, Andy, we did it. We're a team. 01:12:34 Speaker 1: We are truly married husband and wife team. Okay, this is the final segment of the podcast. It's called I said no emails. Listen to those birds people right into I said no gifts at gmail dot com. 01:12:47 Speaker 3: They have questions, we answer. 01:12:48 Speaker 1: It's a service I should be you know, people should just be pouring money into my wallet at this point for the things I'm doing for the community. 01:12:55 Speaker 3: Bridger, have you ever found someone has double dip that they've sent you a question that we sent another podcast? Oh? 01:13:01 Speaker 1: Interesting, somebody who's just spamming a question to every Oh. 01:13:11 Speaker 4: Answered on both and it was like, oh, you got to write back what you get your answer from somebody and go, hey, did you buy my submissions? 01:13:17 Speaker 1: Well, what was the gist of the question. Should we mention it. Are they going to be thrilled that they're getting it onto another podcast? Oh yeah, definitely not that we don't remember. 01:13:29 Speaker 3: Wow. I need to be on the lookout for them, to be able to look out because these people are out here, they're desperate. 01:13:32 Speaker 1: There needs to be a podcast watchdog. It's just like keeping an eye out for these spammers double dippers. Okay this h let's get into this, This says dear mister gift mastery. Oh. I have always been a big traveler, and one of my favorite parts of any trip was the thrill of seeking out the perfect gift for each of my loved ones. I'm not talking Kitchie souvenirs. I always put real thought, time, and effort into personalizing each gift for my close and family. However, since I began working for the United Nations, Okay, we get it, traveling has become more of something I do for work rather than pleasure, and now it feels like a real chore to spend all the time and luggage space that buying gifts requires. We've got more email to go. Recently, I came home for a visit after a stint living in three different countries and traveling to seven more and all I managed to drag back with me was some Swiss chocolate for my nieces and nephews and a rosary from Turin, Italy for my obsessively Catholic father. It wasn't until I arrived that I suddenly and surprisingly felt very disappointed in myself for not trying harder this time around. What is your advice to me or tips you have for helping to strike a balance in my life. I'm afraid of losing my title as the cool aunt and instead of having to accept the no less accurate but somewhat less prestigious title of aunt who drinks a lot and is never around. Sincerely, and there's no name here, It's just sincerely, your favorite international civil servant. This person is rubbing our faces? 01:15:06 Speaker 3: Really? 01:15:07 Speaker 1: Remember of the UN? 01:15:08 Speaker 2: Is this? 01:15:09 Speaker 3: I want name? Especially boutros Golly himself. 01:15:12 Speaker 4: One who actually gets to you know what I mean? Because like a lot of these governments are at the desk in. 01:15:18 Speaker 1: Seven countries, is an assassin hired by the UN who. 01:15:23 Speaker 3: Loves this podcast? Interesting? So you mean like a CIA person who got a job and it's reporting back to uh whoever's in charge. 01:15:34 Speaker 4: Okay, here's my first suggestion though, here's something that I did, and I feel like it would be even better now because I did this over a decade ago when I was traveling. Ship it back to your home. Oh, you go into a store, you see acutie moment. There are places that will ship stuff for you. 01:15:51 Speaker 1: The store itself will ship it. 01:15:53 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got to be big enough. You don't mean and obviously, but you're paying up front for that, right basically, like, hey, can you you know, package that up and send it to me, because a lot of places have online stores, right, so that's the same thing that they would be doing, So you're basically placing an online order in person. You see what I'm saying, because you get in there, you see something cute and you're like, well, I don't want to lug this, I don't want to cry, but get it back to the house and then you know, have you know that way when I get home and then I go visit everybody. 01:16:15 Speaker 3: And I have stuff waiting. 01:16:16 Speaker 1: And this has been an option in the past for you. 01:16:18 Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, thinkers think about the online world we live in now. Yes, she's the Amazon like anything you want and you can go into like especially look this international civil servant. 01:16:29 Speaker 3: Okay, they're going into top notch places. 01:16:31 Speaker 1: They're giving you this what's her name in that Netflix show Emily and Pari? Yes, which, by the way, isn't It wasn't the title supposed to be Amilee on Prairie or something where I was supposed to rhyme and then nobody got it, so it was just Emily in Paris. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a bad idea on their part. 01:16:48 Speaker 3: And also it doesn't really sound like Parer. Emily and Parie does not sound it should be like. 01:16:53 Speaker 1: It should have been amilely. But the name is already taken by a famous movie a Mari and Peri. 01:16:58 Speaker 3: I could not think of a single name that has made a made a name. I don't know Marie, Marie and Perrie. No, uh uh, you just did Ted Sarandas' job. Give Bridger three hundred and ninety million dollars. 01:17:16 Speaker 1: Who's the guy who's right above Ted? There's another guy who is a name I know more often too, I know Rare Doom. Honestly, you have any idea who number one is it? 01:17:28 Speaker 3: Netflix? Reed, Hastings, Harris, Yes, Killerson, I have. Oh sorry, I didn't know if you were done because I have a different take. I have a different take. Lady, Look cool, you ain't the cool ant just because you brought back a cuckoo clock from Switzerland. All right, you're not a cool ant for that.

There we go. 01:18:34 Speaker 1: I feel like that's that's the new, like wine o'clock in every ant's home. 01:18:38 Speaker 3: If you mule, you ain't cool, You go to TJ Max. Get a sign that says if you ate able, you hate good God, I love that crusttit. 01:18:49 Speaker 1: Well, then I mean we don't. Why would we say anymore on this?
