00:00:08 Speaker 1: But I invited you here, I thought, a man myself perfectly clear, when you're a guest to my home, you gotta come to me empty. And I said, no guests, you're our presences presents enough. 00:00:31 Speaker 2: I am already too much stuff, So how do you dare to surbey me? 00:00:47 Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts, amperature winegar. Here we are in the backyard. It's such a thrill. We love to be in the backyard. It's been quite a day for me. I've had to do a lot of recentering. I had to do a lot of focusing. An attempt was made to go to the estate sale of Alex Trebek, and it blew up in my face. You don't pull up to the estate sale of Alex Trebek at nine thirty in the morning. The line was around the block, and so a half hour drive to Studio City was wasted, just immediately turning around and coming back home in shame. I did get a peek at the former Trebec estate, you know from Afar. I can report that it was a beautiful home. Will not be seeing the interior, will not be purchasing any of the items formerly owned by Alex Trebek, and I'm sorry to start the podcast on this horrible note. I hate to just start, but maybe that means we have nowhere to go but up, and we do because I love our guest. I absolutely adore our guest. It's Rachel Peegor. I'm Rachel. 00:01:56 Speaker 4: Welcome to I said, okay, oh, thank you so much for having me. 00:02:00 Speaker 3: Of course, and I'm again I'm sorry to start on this now. 00:02:04 Speaker 5: Oh no, that's okay. That is actually incredible. I mean, I don't even have so many questions. How do you even get there? How do you find something like that? 00:02:13 Speaker 3: Almost entirely by mistake. Well, I'll go to a state sales dot net on occasion. 00:02:18 Speaker 4: That's a website. 00:02:19 Speaker 3: That's a website. 00:02:20 Speaker 4: Okay. 00:02:20 Speaker 3: For a long time I thought it was a state sales dot biz, but it wasn't. And so once I found out it was dot net, I was on there about every two weeks. Oh my god, excellent resource. If you're into going to you're a state sales your rummage sale, right, there's probably one other word for that that I'm not sure. 00:02:40 Speaker 5: I'm not of the community. So I'm gonna, I mean, I'm gonna take my cues from you. 00:02:44 Speaker 3: Have you ever been to an estate sale. 00:02:46 Speaker 5: Maybe just kind of on the street, but I don't know, okay, garage maybe garage yards. 00:02:54 Speaker 3: Sidewalk sidewalk, although I will say with the sidewalk sale, they almost the only one I've ever encountered have taken place inside a shopping mall. 00:03:04 Speaker 4: A sidewalks in a mall. 00:03:06 Speaker 3: That's why I'm bringing it up. 00:03:09 Speaker 5: Get the fuck out of here. What the hell are you talking about. You're making this shit up. Okay, I thought this was honest, all right, don't come here with your fake shit. 00:03:19 Speaker 4: All right. 00:03:20 Speaker 3: This is not only honest, this is the brutal truth. 00:03:23 Speaker 2: Wow. 00:03:24 Speaker 3: Have you not seen a sidewalk sail in a mall before? 00:03:27 Speaker 4: In a mall? Do you mean like a mall mall? 00:03:29 Speaker 3: Like a nineteen nineties shopping mall? 00:03:32 Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, not like I don't know, one of those outdoor kind of like. 00:03:37 Speaker 3: The New Mall or something like an Americana. 00:03:41 Speaker 5: Oh God, if you were telling me there's a sidewalk sale at the Americana, I would have to slap you in the middle. 00:03:47 Speaker 4: I would have to slap you across the face and say you're lying. 00:03:50 Speaker 3: But so you have heard of a sidewalk sale before? 00:03:52 Speaker 4: Yeah? 00:03:53 Speaker 5: On the sidewalk by name. You know what it is and where it's supposed to be. It's on the sidewalk outside of a home. 00:04:00 Speaker 3: Of course, yeah, but those are usually called a yard or garage. Say no. 00:04:04 Speaker 5: But sometimes it's just kind of set up loose, like off the curve, you know, when you know when people just have like books and it's like, oh, it's like my kids, you know, they died or something weird happened to you know. 00:04:15 Speaker 3: Kids have died and I'm selling their books on the curve. 00:04:18 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like all these weird books, like oh, I got fired from my job at like JP Morgan, So now here's all these weird like finance books that I have that I'll never use anymore. 00:04:27 Speaker 4: Like that kind of thing. That's that's a sidewalk sale. Typically there's no one. Here's what I think about a sidewalk sale. 00:04:32 Speaker 5: There's typically not a buyer, there's a seller, I should say, there's not really someone manning the station. This was like a loose piece of cardboard and a various array of items on it, and you go up and they're all free. 00:04:46 Speaker 4: You just kind of grab it and then you go okay. 00:04:48 Speaker 3: So what you're describing as a gutter sale. I would call that a gutter so but not. What you're saying is that all the items are free. So that's no longer a sale. That's a giveaway. It's a sale that's a sidewalk giveaway. 00:05:00 Speaker 5: Yeah, but first come, first serve, that's still a sale. If you missed out, they got okay, they got a what you know, a Sarah Silverman what is it? 00:05:09 Speaker 4: Bedwater? 00:05:11 Speaker 3: Okay? Feel they got that. 00:05:13 Speaker 5: Book sitting there and then you know, oh, someone big Sarah's overman head, they grab it. You two steps behind them, you miss it. And also you're a fan of Sarah Silverman, that's a sale. 00:05:22 Speaker 4: You missed it. You missed the sale. Someone grabbed it before you. 00:05:25 Speaker 3: There's almost always like a humor book from like four years ago at one of these solutely somebody got for a birthday or they're like, I don't need to keep this around the house. No, it doesn't look good on a shelf. 00:05:38 Speaker 4: Oh absolutely not. 00:05:39 Speaker 3: This is something that can be discarded. 00:05:42 Speaker 4: I don't want to keep it around. 00:05:43 Speaker 3: No, you know, no offense, nothing but respect for Sarah's Olverman. 00:05:46 Speaker 5: But I mean, I don't know, I guess there's some questionable things I don't want to say that, but mostly respect for Sarah's Oberman. I would say about ninety five percent of respect for Sarah's Oliveran. 00:05:57 Speaker 3: But the point stands. Yeah, the humor book is a an absolutely iconic aspect of a yard, sidewalk or garage sale. Yeah, it was kind of. It's a when you buy a humor book, it's almost always a mistake. 00:06:12 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I think that's true. 00:06:13 Speaker 3: It's not like something you're gonna you just don't want to keep it around. 00:06:15 Speaker 5: It's not forever. No, something that is a moment in time, a flash in a pan. You know, we all got Live from New York in our closet, but it's not that we're going to pick it up every. 00:06:25 Speaker 4: Day and read it. 00:06:26 Speaker 3: I bought Live from New York at a yard sale. See yes, yeah, in probably two thousand and eight. 00:06:32 Speaker 4: That makes sense. 00:06:32 Speaker 3: And now it's just sitting at my parents' house. Yeah, that's not traveling to back to la as thick as the damn Bible. It's so big somehow, more damage. 00:06:42 Speaker 4: Okay, Like what is it? Homers? The Alien? 00:06:48 Speaker 5: I was trying to make a comparison to Lorne and it didn't. It didn't happen. 00:06:53 Speaker 3: Okay, so you've never really been to an estate sale? 00:06:56 Speaker 4: No, I guess not. 00:06:57 Speaker 3: You and I have a very different idea of what a sidewalk say. I cannot believe you haven't been to a sidewalk sail in them all? On Aalis, have you ever been to a sidewalk sale in them all? Analis is shaking their head. No. Now I'm feeling extremely alienated, and I'm feeling like very out of place on my own podcast, and it's making me sick. I'm going to turn the topic to Lacroix. We're drinking Lacroix. Yes, two new flavors. 00:07:23 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's bubble city over here. It is bubble city. 00:07:27 Speaker 3: You know. I haven't worked in an office in a few years. 00:07:31 Speaker 4: God has been long. 00:07:32 Speaker 3: That used to be my little Lacroix library. I would get in the car every day and go to the office and get to try different flavors of Lacroix. Hasn't happened to me in a while because of world circumstances. And so I was over at Target the other day and two new flavors were available. And this is not an advertisement. I actually think Lacroix is fine at best, I don't really know their politics, certainly don't know their politics flavor wise, sure, but it was exciting to see this black raspberry and what you're drinking beach plum. 00:08:04 Speaker 5: Yeah, beach plum, which is not it's just kind of one thing, right, it's just plum, But it's like you're at the beach. 00:08:12 Speaker 3: Right. Well, so I was questioning the name of that flavor recently and a friend pointed out, is it a pun on beach bum? You've got a fly, fly fly. This is the backyard the thrill of in person backyard recordings flies are. 00:08:29 Speaker 4: Do you feel like I'm in a damn forest? 00:08:31 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know if people are commenting on how lush it is out here. It's like I am. I am in a magical rainforest. It is absolutely captivating. I mean, so many pinks and reds and greens and blues. It's just it's disgusting. I mean, I'm shocked. This is like a Garden of Eden level um. It's incredible. I yeah, I think beach bum that's correct, but I am confused. It just says naturally essenced, right, that's kind of a cop out. 00:09:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think naturally essenced is kind of this ambiguous, strange thing corporate chemical speak where it's like it's not real flavor. But I don't know, it's kind of it's like essential oils. I think it's probably the same side of the business, you know, whatever they got, but the beach on there. No, as far as I know, no one associates plums with the beach. Do you. Under no circumstances I would associate plums with the beach as much as you would associate a sidewalk ale with them. All I think so, I think so. It's I've never eaten one on the beach. No, I've I've only seen them in a grocery store or like a friend's home. I've never even had a plum in my home. 00:09:50 Speaker 4: Oh well, never had a plum in the hind of bus. 00:09:54 Speaker 3: It's kind of a policy. 00:09:56 Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I hear that they're small and they're kind of weird and hard to pick. 00:09:59 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're I'm small to justify, yeah, any I don't know. Have you did you have a plum tree? Sounds like you've been picking. 00:10:07 Speaker 4: I've had a plum tree. 00:10:08 Speaker 3: You said they're hard to pick? 00:10:10 Speaker 5: Yeah, No, like at the store. You think I'm on like a little step stool or. 00:10:15 Speaker 4: Something out. 00:10:18 Speaker 3: And you said you were picking them? 00:10:19 Speaker 5: No mean, okay, I'm so sorry. Oh the semantics are gonna get me in trouble today. Choosing a plumb is top. 00:10:29 Speaker 3: The farmer doesn't wake up every morning and say I've got to go choose the fruit. 00:10:32 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm sorry. You know what any could or she are? They? Not? 00:10:41 Speaker 3: Anyone can be. 00:10:44 Speaker 4: Out there. 00:10:45 Speaker 3: This is a deeply regressive podcast, and it's time somebody calls me. 00:10:50 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, this is actually that's actually been my whole plan coming here. 00:10:55 Speaker 4: You guys come out. Just got a team of people, we're accountable. 00:11:04 Speaker 3: So you planted these Lacroix flavors at the store, knowing full well I would pick them up and would lead to this conversation. 00:11:10 Speaker 4: Yeah, sure did, and. 00:11:11 Speaker 3: Finally my my thoughts on farmers would come out. 00:11:14 Speaker 4: Yeah. Here we stay five to ten steps ahead to keep up. 00:11:19 Speaker 3: What else is going on in your life outside of uh, not going to a state sales and not having had beach plum lacroix. 00:11:26 Speaker 4: Oh my god, you know, I'm just kind of, you know, just kind of living. 00:11:32 Speaker 3: I saw you. 00:11:33 Speaker 5: I did go to Texas to go home, which is Houston, Dallas closer to Dallas. 00:11:40 Speaker 3: Dallas and Houston, I can never differentiate, and I feel like people have strong feelings. Yeah, do you have strong feelings? 00:11:49 Speaker 5: Well, I mean Houston is a thousand percent different from Dallas. 00:11:53 Speaker 3: Right, I mean, I'll tell you what I think. Okay, and tell me if I'm correct. 00:11:58 Speaker 4: Let's go. 00:11:58 Speaker 3: Houston is more fun, more interesting, okay. Dallas is richer yeah, okay, oh, okay, and from what I think I know. But again, I'm always very confused about these two. Dallas is more conservative and straight laced, you know. 00:12:16 Speaker 5: I mean, and here the Dallas Heads, the Dallas Heads might come after me. 00:12:20 Speaker 4: That's actually not what they call themselves. 00:12:22 Speaker 5: But I think I feel like Dallas is pretty rich. It is definitely rich. But I feel like politically, and maybe it's because I grew up north of Dallas, Okay, it feels a little slightly more left. Oh then I would say maybe Houston. I could be wrong, you know, you know, you know better than maybe Collin. The phones are open, Colin, let us know if you think that, you know, it's more conservative in Houston or more conservative in Dallas. 00:12:56 Speaker 4: H No, I think. And as far as stuff to do, the only time I went to Houston. 00:13:00 Speaker 5: I was like so little, and I remember hating it because like I was like, well, there's nothing for me to do here. But I think there's a lot for you to do if you're an adult, like really to be because like Beyonce is from Houston, Stallions from Houston, so and. 00:13:14 Speaker 3: Who's from Dallas? Can we name anybody from Dallas that you know? Anyone wants to claim ownership? 00:13:21 Speaker 2: Right? 00:13:22 Speaker 5: You know, it's tough, tough. They're out there. I know they're out there. I know that they're there. 00:13:28 Speaker 3: Off the top of your hat. You're able to name two fantastic people from Houston Dallas? 00:13:33 Speaker 4: Can't name one? 00:13:34 Speaker 3: Completely? Coming up? 00:13:35 Speaker 4: Can't name one? 00:13:37 Speaker 3: Okay, that's interesting. How far are they from each other? 00:13:40 Speaker 4: Hours? 00:13:41 Speaker 3: Hours? Texas is so wild to me, it is just such a wet We gotta shrink it, gotta make a little smaller. 00:13:49 Speaker 4: I have to agree it's too much. 00:13:50 Speaker 5: I mean, there are some parts of Texas, like El Paso. 00:13:55 Speaker 4: I'm just saying. 00:13:56 Speaker 5: That's that's a whole different, it's its own energy. 00:14:01 Speaker 3: Amarillo, Lubbock, Lubbock, Lubbock is smaller, Is that right? 00:14:06 Speaker 4: Yeah? 00:14:07 Speaker 3: Real flat, flat flat or Midwest? Would you say, I you know, I mean, I'm just like, I know nothing about these things, but the words Lubbock. What it brings to mind is, yeah, a little slower pace of life, definitely slower. They're not doing much. And then there's wherever they're doing the Cheer Academy. Where's that? Oh yeah, it feels like it's in a remote part and they're also making the fruitcakes there. 00:14:31 Speaker 5: Yes, that's it starts with the sea. M some Texan I I can't remember, dang, but it does start with the sea. 00:14:41 Speaker 3: Cole Carca Christie. It's hard to say. I know there's East Texas that yeah, it seems east East Texas. I know there are listeners right now screaming the name of that town and they're so mad that we can't think of it. And unfortunately it's just not a priority. 00:15:00 Speaker 5: That's just not how this works. That's just I mean, sadly, that's just not the format. So you can be mad and this is just going to continue, and we're going to be ignorant. 00:15:08 Speaker 3: I mean, we're proud of the work they're doing down there at Sheer Academy. 00:15:12 Speaker 4: It's really beautiful work, what their face is doing. 00:15:16 Speaker 3: Monica Monica Monday, right, Monday, something like that. I hope her name is Monday. 00:15:24 Speaker 4: Monday is kind of a good name. 00:15:25 Speaker 3: Mina is an excellent name. 00:15:27 Speaker 4: My name a kid, Monday. 00:15:28 Speaker 3: The most boring person today, Carla on mon month. Monday and Thursday are both excellent name. 00:15:35 Speaker 4: Thursday. Ah, that's a good name. 00:15:38 Speaker 3: These are my granddaughters, Monday and Thursday. 00:15:40 Speaker 4: Monday and Thursday. 00:15:42 Speaker 3: Do you feel like you're I know a lot of Texans are, of course, extremely proud Textans or do you fall into that camp? 00:15:49 Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's hard not to be in some way. 00:15:52 Speaker 5: Right, Like, I don't think I'm like, uh, you know, I would never get like branded or anything. 00:15:58 Speaker 3: Okay, which you know you'll get branded, yeah, but that's also maybe a college thing. 00:16:02 Speaker 4: You know, people get branded. You ever get branded? 00:16:05 Speaker 3: What are we talking about? Do you think you're talking to the most exciting part of my day was getting turned away from an estate sale. 00:16:12 Speaker 5: Okay, but you know how people turn it around, you know, they're like because they're like, oh, in my younger days, I was running around, I was taking shots every night, shooting Heroin, and I got branded, you know, and then now you're like, but I've changed now, I wake up and I try to go to Alex Schebek estate sales like I'm living. 00:16:31 Speaker 4: I'm a new man, you know, I'm a different bridger. 00:16:35 Speaker 3: I wish that was my past. I would probably solve a lot of my problems if I had a big Texas flag or something on my back. Hey, you still could. I'm still the other way. Start doing Heroine, yeah, et cetera. 00:16:48 Speaker 4: You gotta fall to come back up again. That's the same. 00:16:52 Speaker 3: So you're not really in that camp though, No, I mean. 00:16:54 Speaker 5: I definitely I do like Texas. I know that people are don't like Texas. I mean a lot of the politics a terrible sure, but the people, you know, I think the thing that we learned with, you know, like Stacy Abrams and all of that, was like, oh, there's lots of black people who are just disenfranchised, and like non white people who are there and like want to have their voices heard, but they're not being They're people to do. 00:17:20 Speaker 3: So trapped in a big state surrounded by people. 00:17:24 Speaker 5: Yeah, like rough people, yeah, who are awful. But I do I love Texas. I love my town. 00:17:30 Speaker 3: I've enjoyed the time I've spent in Texas. Yeah, I mean let's just try to expand the What I'm really doing here is trying to expand the Texas listenership. I think that's smart. This episode is really going out to all Texans. Yes, we've got to get more Texans. If you know a Texan, tell them about the podcasts. I want people in spurs listening to this podcast. 00:17:52 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, on the range. 00:17:53 Speaker 5: Come on, they're on a little horse riding out into the sunset and they're listening to this. 00:17:58 Speaker 4: That's a good image. That's that's the commercial. 00:18:01 Speaker 3: That's the commercials. Are there Texas commercials? No? 00:18:04 Speaker 4: I was saying for you for the podcast. You guys commercials. 00:18:06 Speaker 3: We should have commercials all over Texas. Yeah, you have a local news. 00:18:10 Speaker 5: Station exactly only in Texas. You only have commercials that come on in Texas. 00:18:14 Speaker 3: We're going to devote the entire marketing budget to like some cable access show out of Dallas. 00:18:20 Speaker 4: Yeah, let's look into that and say how much that would cost. 00:18:23 Speaker 3: I would love for that Monica or Monday or whatever to give the podcast to listen. She and the cheer team could put on the show while they're doing drills or whatever. Did you ever do cheerleading? I? Did you did. 00:18:37 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, fine, fine did it for like I mostly did it to get. 00:18:42 Speaker 4: On the dance team. 00:18:43 Speaker 3: Oh okay. It was kind of like a gateway team means to an end. Yeah, so what it was the dance team. 00:18:50 Speaker 5: The dance team was only for the high schoolers. Is when I was in middle school as a cheerleader. 00:18:54 Speaker 1: Ah. 00:18:54 Speaker 3: Right, the fly is a third It's welcome, It's welcome. 00:18:59 Speaker 4: In this environment, you have to welcome the element. 00:19:02 Speaker 3: We are sitting on top of a mountain of garbage, surrounded by flies cascading. 00:19:09 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I did. 00:19:10 Speaker 5: I wanted to get on the dance team. It was like for the high schoolers. And it was just like you know, when they come out, I mean, I don't know, I say so sometimes and then I'm like, Texas is very specific, but like you know how like you know, you got like pep rallies of course, and like you know, and then they do the dances. 00:19:24 Speaker 4: The dance team comes out, they dance, and then like at the. 00:19:28 Speaker 5: Games, like at halftime, the dance girls come out, and when they dance at halftime. 00:19:32 Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about, of course I do. I mean, Utah I think has a similar culture in that way. Where it's like there's like a very serious dance team at the high school. Yes, it's almost like a military team where like they're so precise. Yes, so that's what you were doing. 00:19:47 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's what I was looking to do. 00:19:49 Speaker 3: Okay. 00:19:50 Speaker 4: So I was. 00:19:50 Speaker 5: Doing the like pre squad to get into that squad. 00:19:54 Speaker 3: Right, Yes, but you never got it in Oh, you did get it, but then I switch schools. Mmmm, and I didn't get school. Did the teams have names? 00:20:04 Speaker 4: I can't remember. 00:20:05 Speaker 3: No, Yes, the Silverados, I think after the Chevy. Is that a I believe there's a Chevy called. 00:20:15 Speaker 4: The You're absolutely right, I hope it is. I really do. That's beautiful. 00:20:22 Speaker 3: What is a Silverado in actuality? Is it a horse or something? Yeah? 00:20:26 Speaker 4: Or maybe like a guy maybe like a guy in a Monday Silverado. Oh come on, come on, that's yours. 00:20:37 Speaker 5: That's yours. That's for your that's for you, that's for you, that's for down the line whenever you need it. 00:20:42 Speaker 3: Monday Silverado. 00:20:44 Speaker 4: Yes, Monday Silverado. 00:20:46 Speaker 3: Okay, the Silverado is our team. I think was called the Mino rets the because my high school. My high school was the Miners and uh not a thrilling mascot. 00:21:02 Speaker 5: Like miners, like children are miners, like the noise of the piano or like the sound or what is it? 00:21:10 Speaker 3: You're so far off, you've guessed everything, but like the people who go into the ground and look for or or in our case copper. It was named after the copper miners that would mine or I think, yeah, probably found some copper in the Utah Hills. But you went first children, then uh, musical thing, and then what was the third thing you did? No? 00:21:38 Speaker 5: No, no, Then then I realized it was miners. Actually, what you were saying just you know, sometimes you're thinking o, sometimes you do think any. 00:21:48 Speaker 3: So Silverado's But what was your high school mascot? 00:21:51 Speaker 4: High school mascot was the Wildcats? 00:21:54 Speaker 3: Wildcats? Wow? Yeah, really just kind of all over the place with animals at that high school. Yeah yeah, yeah, a real animal free running up place. 00:22:01 Speaker 4: Well, you know, you gotta keep it wild, you gotta keep it loose. When you're in high school, you got to keep it loose. 00:22:07 Speaker 3: So what were you doing in Texas recently? Just visiting family? 00:22:10 Speaker 4: Yeah, visiting my family. Hadn't seen him in a year. Oh yeah, how was it? It was good? It was good, you know, nice to hang out, right. 00:22:20 Speaker 3: I feel like you went and got some ice cream. 00:22:21 Speaker 4: I did get ice cream. 00:22:23 Speaker 3: I saw a picture of you getting ice cream, went to Broms. 00:22:24 Speaker 5: Do you ever go to brom No? What's this great ice cream place? You heard this ice cream? 00:22:29 Speaker 3: I've never heard blue. 00:22:30 Speaker 4: Bell ice cream? 00:22:31 Speaker 5: Oh, I've heard of Bluebell best ice cream I've never ever had, And I know you haven't had it. 00:22:36 Speaker 4: It's going to be the best ice cream you've ever had. 00:22:38 Speaker 3: Where would I get it? 00:22:39 Speaker 4: Texas? 00:22:40 Speaker 3: Is it exclusive to Texas? 00:22:42 Speaker 4: Maybe not, but definitely the South? 00:22:44 Speaker 3: Okay, okay? And what's so good about it? 00:22:46 Speaker 4: Creamy? 00:22:46 Speaker 5: Delicious, sweet, simple, right, flavorful, impactful, you could eat. 00:22:53 Speaker 4: Sit down, eat it, and you don't. You don't need anything. 00:22:56 Speaker 5: I think the sign of a good ice cream flavor personally is one that. 00:23:00 Speaker 4: You could eat the whole pint of you choose not to. 00:23:03 Speaker 3: Oh interesting, you know so? And what qualifies it for that? Because the flavor is enough? Yeah, it's so good, yes that you don't of course you would love to eat it all, but you're satisfied by it exactly. So what flavor are you getting? 00:23:17 Speaker 1: You know? 00:23:18 Speaker 4: Sometimes? 00:23:18 Speaker 5: And look, I might get burnt at the steak for this, but sometimes all I want plain vanilla. 00:23:24 Speaker 3: Wow. I love to meet somebody who likes a vanilla. 00:23:26 Speaker 4: This plain vanilla hits. 00:23:29 Speaker 3: Okay, that means good things for the company, because they're making the most base flavor. 00:23:32 Speaker 5: Good, I would say, probably, though more often I go for cookies and cream. 00:23:38 Speaker 3: Oh that's a nice in between. Yeah, I'll never understand what cookie what the base flavor of cookies and cream is. It's not just vanilla, right, No, something's there weird actually light colored, all right, and then there's just like an oreo in it, or what kind of crushed off. I love the cookies and cream. 00:23:55 Speaker 4: It's delightful. 00:23:56 Speaker 3: Oh well, look, we've got to get to something that I wanted to talk to you about. 00:24:01 Speaker 4: Oh okay, I'm. 00:24:02 Speaker 3: Not thrilled to discuss, but we're here. We're refreshed by our our new flavors of Lacroix. Yes again, not an advertisement. Did I mention my flavor? Yeah? I think I said I have black raspberry. It's the worst of the two. I would say. Again, I'm getting off track, probably because I'm nervous to talk about this. Okay. You agreed to be on the podcast a little while ago, and the podcast is called. I said no gifts, and I thought, wonderful, Rachel's coming on the show. We're what would we say, former co workers? Co workers? 00:24:37 Speaker 4: I say, the work lives on the souls. So we're forever coworkers. 00:24:43 Speaker 3: We've you know, colleagues. Yeah, we have a nice time. I thought we'll have a nice time together. Rachel will come by, we'll chat, a fly will kind of interrupt on occasion, I'll impress her with my new flavors of Lacroix, and we'll move on. So I was a little surprised when you come walking up the driveway and you're holding a bag, and uh, I can't help but think that this might be a gift for me. 00:25:14 Speaker 4: And that is that is correct? 00:25:16 Speaker 3: Okay, that's fine. I'm cool as a cucumber. Should I open it here on the podcast? Yeah? 00:25:22 Speaker 4: I think that would be nice. 00:25:23 Speaker 3: Okay, let's get into this. 00:25:24 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that would be respectful and nice. 00:25:41 Speaker 3: Okay, it's in a bag, kind of a canvassy bag. What does this say on it? 00:25:47 Speaker 4: Bomb on the perf garden? 00:25:49 Speaker 3: What is what is that? What does that mean? 00:25:51 Speaker 4: Yeah? That's a brand? 00:25:52 Speaker 3: This is a brand. Yeah, I'm so. 00:25:56 Speaker 4: Brand? 00:25:56 Speaker 3: Whatsoever? 00:25:57 Speaker 5: What brand is that bomb on the Perth Guarden canvas. They're making clothes, they're making bags, they're making. 00:26:03 Speaker 3: Shoes, exclusively women's clothes. 00:26:06 Speaker 5: I think they're keeping it, they're keeping it loose, they're giving it open for everybody. 00:26:09 Speaker 3: Where Do you get these clothes at You can. 00:26:11 Speaker 5: Get them online, but I think it's coming out of Denmark or a Sweden or a doorway or. 00:26:17 Speaker 3: You know that kind of looks like a German word Switzerland. Switzerland. 00:26:22 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. 00:26:22 Speaker 3: Do you own any of the bomb perf garden cloth? I got a sweater, Yeah, it seems like a sweater company. 00:26:28 Speaker 4: It's nice. 00:26:28 Speaker 5: It's a little itchy. It's a little itchy. I don't pull it as much as I would like. I wish she was lined with something. 00:26:34 Speaker 3: Oh, it's a painful thing to own a piece of clothing that you love the look of, but don't. The comfort levels not quite there. An absolute nightmare. It's a curse. 00:26:43 Speaker 4: I want to burn it, yeah, but I won't. I love it. 00:26:45 Speaker 5: It's hits perfectly, it's cropped. 00:26:48 Speaker 3: Do you get an undershirt under there? Does that help? 00:26:50 Speaker 4: Okay? Then I got to put on a fucking long sleeve too. 00:26:54 Speaker 5: You're The whole point is that you want a light thing over a little thing, right, you know? For color, is this whole La life cream and navy stripe that sounds nice? 00:27:06 Speaker 3: Simple, Well, it will never be worn, No one will ever see it. 00:27:09 Speaker 4: Now, never light the day. Actually it's the colors of that bag. 00:27:12 Speaker 3: Yes, this bag is yeah, kind of a cream with the blue font. 00:27:16 Speaker 4: And you're going to keep that bag for life. 00:27:18 Speaker 3: Of course. I mean, if this bag is mine, it's I'm going to use it. 00:27:21 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough. 00:27:22 Speaker 3: I love it. It's built for to Okay, I'm reaching into the bag now, Okay, I'm feeling something pulling it out, pulling it out, and. 00:27:33 Speaker 5: That's actually not all I just want to I just want you to make sure you understand. 00:27:36 Speaker 3: That's just for the listener. What I The first item I pulled out this bag is a very beautiful little straw hat. Probably the size this would probably fit on top of a chicken. It could probably fit on like size wise, we're looking at maybe like a groundhog, Yeah, maybe a puff Uh what other animal could wear this hat? It's a it's an immaculately made hat. It's so adorable. 00:28:08 Speaker 4: It would fit perfect on a little Clementine. 00:28:10 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you could put this on an orange. Yeah, be so cute. 00:28:13 Speaker 5: You kind of want to make a make an object sort of animate? 00:28:16 Speaker 4: What does that called? 00:28:19 Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm holding a little Should I bring out the other objects first or should we talking about. 00:28:23 Speaker 5: It's just one more in there and uh, it's just it's just slightly yeah. 00:28:35 Speaker 3: Okay. So the first thing, as I described is I had that's like, yeah, probably could fit on top of an orange or chicken. That's probably that kind of the technical size for this hat. Actually, no, not what I'm looking at. Wait is this multiple hats? 00:28:48 Speaker 2: No? 00:28:48 Speaker 3: No, no, no, it almost looks like it's hats. 00:28:50 Speaker 4: It's just well built. So it's very thick. 00:28:53 Speaker 3: Okay, so this hat and then there's a The next hat I brought out is probably more of the size of like a small monkey. I'm trying to think of another animal that is, like a medium sized dog. 00:29:09 Speaker 4: Yeah, or like a premature baby. 00:29:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, this isn't gonna fit on a like a you know, nine months old. Oh no wait, wait, like a full it's for that when all full term? Thank you on all this full term baby. This is like a like three months premature? Yes, absolutely, you throw this on at the hospital, and it's. 00:29:33 Speaker 5: Just like, oh my goodness, we're glad that the baby's here, you know, when we're just writing the moment. 00:29:37 Speaker 4: Get a hat on that baby that maybe needs to be warm. 00:29:41 Speaker 3: Why did you bring me these a wonderful straw? 00:29:44 Speaker 5: You know, I just figured you might want a smart look for a nice, cool summer day. 00:29:49 Speaker 3: Uh. 00:29:50 Speaker 4: And I just feel like you can match with a friend. That's why you have a little one, or you know, if you had a I know you have a dog, So I got one for the dog. A plant that needs a little life or something. 00:30:04 Speaker 3: I mean, should we both put one on? 00:30:06 Speaker 4: Yeah? 00:30:06 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna take the tag off of this. 00:30:08 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's actually worth a lot more than that than what the tag says. 00:30:12 Speaker 3: Where did you get the Oh? Should I get a scissor to cut this? I don't want to rip that. 00:30:16 Speaker 4: They're really built strong. 00:30:18 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna put it on top of my head. You put yours on? Yeah, just for the comfort, Kiki Solei. This reminds me of on Aleas's telling me I own a tunic that this would look perfect with this would combine with my tunic that I got on another episode, kind of a summary spring tunic. You gotta go combine and maybe we'll look to Instagram. There may be a surprise there at some point with this hat combined with a tunic. Where did you get these? 00:30:47 Speaker 5: I got these years ago at I believe a good will. 00:30:54 Speaker 6: Really yeah, and I got a large bag of them and I I'd say ten to fifteen. And over the years they've disappeared to who knows where, and I still have someone I said this, this is going to be perfect for Bridger. 00:31:15 Speaker 4: I know the Bridge's going to love this hat. It's like you know. 00:31:17 Speaker 5: When you get something and you say, I don't know what this is going to be for who this is? 00:31:22 Speaker 4: You know what am I doing with this? 00:31:23 Speaker 5: You know? And then one day you look at it and you say, oh no, this is it. This was actually the purpose. This is why I meant to be having these little straw hats. 00:31:32 Speaker 3: Now, wait, did you buy these in a good will in New York? 00:31:35 Speaker 2: Yes? 00:31:36 Speaker 3: Yeah, So these have traveled across the country. Yeah, you've probably ten hats came with you. 00:31:42 Speaker 4: Uh huh? 00:31:42 Speaker 3: And have you ever used them for any other purpose? 00:31:45 Speaker 4: Not once? Not once? 00:31:48 Speaker 3: What was your move from New York? 00:31:49 Speaker 2: Like? 00:31:49 Speaker 3: How many objects did you move across the country if this was. 00:31:52 Speaker 5: Included everything everything went. My move from New York was haphazard. 00:31:58 Speaker 3: How did you do it? 00:31:59 Speaker 4: So you know? 00:32:00 Speaker 5: I moved out to la in March of twenty twenty, No, February twenty two. 00:32:05 Speaker 3: Okay, just before the clock. 00:32:07 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, before it all went down. But I was staying in this nice little subflow. I was like, oh, this is great. Oh I'm living my best little life and this bougie woman's house. And and then it all hit and I was like, oh, I'll just stay, I'll just hang out. And then I was like, well, I guess I better move out of New York. But I was too nervous back in those times to fly back to New York. And I asked one of my friends, if you would pack up all of my stuff and send it to me. 00:32:33 Speaker 3: Why that is an enormous job so much? Are you still friends? 00:32:39 Speaker 5: We've been friends a long time. I picked kind of the oldest friend. You know, you gotta pick somebody that's got roots. 00:32:44 Speaker 4: In the ground. 00:32:45 Speaker 3: You know that we'll not be going away. 00:32:47 Speaker 4: Absolutely. You got to pick a tree level friend. All right. This is not a plant friend. This is a friend that's like, you know you could, you could, you could hit him. You know, you can do something bad a little bit and they're gonna they're gonna come back. 00:32:57 Speaker 3: They will forgive you. 00:32:58 Speaker 5: Yeah, and he he did it. He packed up all of my stuff and sent it out to me. And these little hats did in fact make the cut. 00:33:09 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:33:09 Speaker 4: So I have everything. 00:33:10 Speaker 5: I have all of my tratchkeys and like dad, stuff that I didn't realize things that you know, if you were going through your own stuff, you would be like, I don't need this, right of. 00:33:18 Speaker 3: Course, But like this person, he didn't know what was important what wasn't. 00:33:21 Speaker 4: And he kept everything. 00:33:22 Speaker 3: How long did it take? 00:33:23 Speaker 4: The water in the humidifier? I couldn't believe it. 00:33:26 Speaker 3: He shipped the water across the country. Yes, he could have ruined everything. 00:33:30 Speaker 5: The water was in the humidifier. I pulled it out and I said, I can't be mad at him, because you did something so nice for me. 00:33:36 Speaker 4: But why did you do this? 00:33:39 Speaker 1: Well? 00:33:39 Speaker 3: New Yorkers are very proud of their water. They are, that's true. 00:33:44 Speaker 4: It's good water. 00:33:44 Speaker 3: New York loves its water. 00:33:45 Speaker 4: You never lived in New York? 00:33:46 Speaker 3: I did? You did? I did? I lived there from twenty sixteen to twenty seventeen, and for a little bit in two thousand and nine. Oh okay, all over, good years, good years, perfect years. 00:33:57 Speaker 1: Times. 00:33:57 Speaker 3: Let's see two thousand and nine we had that beautiful the economy couldn't have felt better. Twenty sixteen, of course, a gorgeous year with nothing wrong. Yes, yeah, maybe I should stay out of New York. Maybe that's I have caused global problem after global problems every. 00:34:19 Speaker 4: Time you go to New York. That's that's something you know. 00:34:21 Speaker 3: Now, I mean I will say, let's say I wasn't there when COVID struck, so that maybe maybe you're the third problem. Maybe I did you leaving New York? 00:34:30 Speaker 4: Yeah, causeuse COVID. 00:34:32 Speaker 3: I mean impossible, It is possible, and truly anything's possible. 00:34:36 Speaker 4: We haven't figured out, if you know, if it was a lab, it was a bad it was a market. Maybe it was Rachel leaving New York. 00:34:44 Speaker 3: That's for my money is yeah, I lived there for I think for a total now of probably two years. Okay, I've tried the water. I've had the pizza, which is supposed to benefit from the water. I've had the bagels. 00:34:56 Speaker 4: I'm supposed to definitely benefit from the water. 00:34:59 Speaker 3: I don't. I don't buy that for a second. Wow, I think that's loney, absolutely lonely. I have an excellent bagel right over here, uh Bell's Bagels, Island Park, delicious bake. 00:35:13 Speaker 4: I doubt it. 00:35:13 Speaker 3: Have you had one? No, fantastic bagel. You're not using New York water? 00:35:18 Speaker 4: Yeah? But then this LA water? Oh my god? 00:35:20 Speaker 5: Are you drinking LA water out the tap? Tell me that, I'm tell me that. Are you drinking it out to the top? 00:35:25 Speaker 3: What? 00:35:25 Speaker 4: Sometimes? 00:35:27 Speaker 3: Yeah? 00:35:28 Speaker 4: No, No, you're not drinking it out of the town. Okay, No, if you're drinking. 00:35:32 Speaker 5: It out of the time, you're like, yeah, I'm turning it on, drinking straight out the tap. Put my mouth under the goddamn faucet. No, no one's doing that. 00:35:38 Speaker 3: In La. 00:35:38 Speaker 4: You don't trust it. 00:35:39 Speaker 5: Whatever's going on in there, it's like it's mess, it's terrible. But in New York, Oh, maybe that water is clean, clean, clean? 00:35:47 Speaker 3: What's the difference? 00:35:48 Speaker 4: Where comes we filtering it? 00:35:49 Speaker 3: Or who's filtering? 00:35:51 Speaker 4: Why are the guys the lost Sam? 00:35:55 Speaker 3: Then we've got to figure it out here. 00:35:57 Speaker 4: Yeah, but they don't care. 00:35:58 Speaker 5: Okay, Garcetti doesn't care about that. 00:36:01 Speaker 3: That's true. 00:36:01 Speaker 4: I can't remember. 00:36:03 Speaker 3: Garcetti doesn't care. I mean, I don't know I think that. I think Garcetti is just a figment of our imagination. That's a terrible mayor. Yeah, I mean I think everyone. 00:36:12 Speaker 4: Agrees a lot of great mayors these days. 00:36:14 Speaker 3: Yeah, mayors are rough. Yeah, governors are rough, tough, you know, these positions. It feels like these we're putting some rough people in these spots and they're just not doing a wonderful jow. 00:36:27 Speaker 4: Not up to snuff, not up to snuff. 00:36:31 Speaker 3: But the water issuing, you know, I'm showering in it. 00:36:34 Speaker 4: Yeah, but are you drinking water while you're showering? 00:36:36 Speaker 3: I won't say I'm drinking, but on occasion, my mouth is open in the shower, wide open. I'm singing. I'm uh, well, I guess that would be the only thing I'm doing in the shower. My mouth, my mouth is open. 00:36:48 Speaker 4: I don't know. You were just acting like you're just a gape in the shower, letting. 00:36:53 Speaker 3: Just kind of drops. I can't close my. 00:36:55 Speaker 4: Mouth, you can't stop.

I think I got into it, well, not an argument, but a debate with the with a physical altercation, Yeah, with a friend a little while ago. Because I will wear my gens from the day until right until the moment I go to bed, what the heck? And then I put on pajamas or nothing or whatever, you know, because I'm perfectly comfortable. Oh but a lot of people when they're in for the night, let's say they it's eight o'clock or whatever, they have no plans. They're throwing on sweatpants and what have you. That's very rare for me, which may be a red flag for my personality. But I don't like, there's what do you wear for comfort? 00:42:45 Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean that is wild to me. 00:42:46 Speaker 5: When I get home and I know I'm not going back out, I'm immediately. I mean, I've become just a little little gremlin now, Like I feel like I take off my bra within seconds. 00:42:57 Speaker 3: Well, I mean I think a bra is a different I'm not you know, I'm not in a bra, and I feel like a bra, if I wore a bra would be coming off. Taking it off seems like a deeply invasive uncomfortable thing to be wearing at any point, it's no good. Okay. So you're taking off the bra. 00:43:11 Speaker 5: Taking that off, I'm taking off my shoes, I'm putting on my slides. I'm taking off anything that I was wearing. I'm probably putting on little shorts a little tank top. 00:43:20 Speaker 3: Wow. Pure comfort, pure comfort. And they're they're like sweat shorts. 00:43:25 Speaker 4: Yeah, like like sweatshorts are like I don't know what kind. 00:43:29 Speaker 5: Of fab basketball short, you know, this is like, this is like clothes I would probably personally not wear out too self conscious about my body. 00:43:38 Speaker 4: So they're just like tiny, just the tiniest little. 00:43:41 Speaker 3: Oh okay okay, almost like a like a trunk almost, I dare say underwear, Like, yeah, like a trunk. I believe, like for men, like the boxer brief that's shorter, they call them a trunk. Trunks. I think that's the term. If you walk away from this podcast with nothing other than little fact about trunks, then you're my job is done. 00:44:04 Speaker 4: That's all they want. 00:44:04 Speaker 3: We all know what a trunk is. A trunk, probably some sort of trunks. Yeah, okay, clothes for me, I don't know. It all feels about the same level. Of comfort. That's wild. I mean, I will say pandemic. Just standards have dropped for me in general. So I will occasionally put on my pajamas and a robe a little earlier than usual. I have gotten into more robe culture. 00:44:27 Speaker 4: Oh that's good. 00:44:29 Speaker 3: The other day I was in my robe until probably eleven am, which is it was like a Monday, which is also probably a red flag. 00:44:37 Speaker 4: That's nice, But to just work hard, are you kidding? 00:44:44 Speaker 3: Let me just wander around the house in a robe for a few hours. It's just kind of a depressive cloud. 00:44:50 Speaker 4: Well, you know, and sometimes you need to, You've got to. 00:44:55 Speaker 3: That's how you get back into the swing of things. Do you own any robes? 00:45:00 Speaker 4: I do, but I don't love you for what reason. 00:45:03 Speaker 5: Sometimes it's just like it's too hot, okay, And then I'm like it's it's all like too much fabric, you know. 00:45:09 Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, it's kind of in the. 00:45:11 Speaker 5: Way and my arms and maybe I'm getting. 00:45:14 Speaker 4: Roads that they are too bad. 00:45:15 Speaker 3: No, that sounds like a robe to me. 00:45:17 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. Sometimes I just I don't want that. 00:45:19 Speaker 3: I want mobility, right, I want to be able to move kind of spring around. 00:45:23 Speaker 4: Behind it around. Yeah. 00:45:25 Speaker 3: Now, you. You, You and I used to live on the same street. 00:45:28 Speaker 4: Did you live on that street? 00:45:30 Speaker 3: We won't name the street. That the apartment building next to me. 00:45:34 Speaker 4: Oh, and I had no idea. 00:45:36 Speaker 3: Your building manager is kind of famous. 00:45:38 Speaker 4: Yes, how's she doing? We say? 00:45:41 Speaker 3: Her first name is that? Okay? 00:45:42 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's fine. Pam, Pam. She's doing well. 00:45:45 Speaker 3: And I I mean, she's so famous that I didn't even live in the building, never interacted with her. But she's become kind of a you know, she's kind of a legend. 00:45:55 Speaker 4: She is an icon. 00:45:57 Speaker 3: What is she doing that's getting her name all over town? You know? 00:46:01 Speaker 5: People seem to really love her, and I do think she's great in a lot of ways. 00:46:06 Speaker 4: She's also you. 00:46:09 Speaker 5: Know, she's gotten older, okay, and she is taking care of everything. 00:46:14 Speaker 4: So this is a. 00:46:14 Speaker 5: Woman maybe in her seventies, who is like taking out the trash and like dragging things around the building, fixing projects, and also someone who's always kind of cursing under her breath. 00:46:25 Speaker 4: Can you believe them? 00:46:26 Speaker 5: But you gotta be on the right side with her, you know, you want to be the one that she's like, oh, can you believe these people are. 00:46:32 Speaker 4: Smoking cigarettes and stuff? 00:46:34 Speaker 5: And you're like, well, as long as you're not talking about me, sure, And she often posts like a very discombobulated note. 00:46:42 Speaker 3: Up yes to try and convey information. 00:46:44 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's like, uh, are you starting a little rock garden or pond here? This isn't a little lake that you can go and maybe it'd be better for the frogs and the fishes, So take these somewhere else. This is, of course, in reference to some rocks that were holding a door open because the doorstop went missing, because apparently there was someone on the second floor stealing all the doorstops for themselves for what in their own apartment. Who's to say why they were stealing the doorstops, but someone had decided to put a bunch of rocks in there. 00:47:18 Speaker 4: And that was her response. 00:47:19 Speaker 3: Okay, well that feels fair to me. I'm on Pam's side, Yeah, I mean, and it's almost poetry that she's writing there, evocative imagery. Yes, to just be mad to people who live in the building. Yeah, she seems to hate everyone who lives. 00:47:33 Speaker 5: There a little bit, I think, you know, and and a lot of people she doesn't like who I'm baffled. 00:47:39 Speaker 4: How they continued to stay. 00:47:41 Speaker 3: I mean, I'll say from Afar. She ran a much better building than the building I lived in. Wow, I would look through and see your lobby. You would have a Christmas tree every year. It seemed clean and up kept. And then my building, God knows what was happening. The building manager. We had a new one every six months. Oh no, they were always maniacs. And my building, you know, just multiple problems. Yeah, just absolute disaster. So I'm I feel like Pam Yea is an incredible person. 00:48:11 Speaker 4: She's getting it done typically in her time. 00:48:14 Speaker 3: Tough love. 00:48:15 Speaker 4: It's a lot of tough love. 00:48:16 Speaker 5: It's a lot of you know, I think maybe you know, there were some faucet issues that happened and that kind of took some time to get fixed. 00:48:24 Speaker 3: Okay, but she's she stays. 00:48:30 Speaker 2: H well. 00:48:32 Speaker 5: In some ways, yes, and in some ways now, but she's doing she's you know, she's really she's really doing the best. 00:48:37 Speaker 4: Is she absolutely? 00:48:38 Speaker 3: Okay? I love Pam. I love what I know about Pam and h Yeah, I think that's all we have to say about Pam. Is there anything left to say about hats Should we say anything? No? 00:48:50 Speaker 5: I mean this, this really feels like it could be a part of your everyday look. It should be part of my love easily incorporated. This would I mean this one would look in the outfit that you have right now? I think like and and also I mean you you have a partner I do. Yeah, yeah, you guys could have a little matching outfits with the little hats. 00:49:12 Speaker 3: My head is gigantic. That hat. It's like throwing a pebble in the Pacific. That's it. It will be lost immediately on my head. 00:49:22 Speaker 5: We can Bobby Ben this in well, do a little Bobby Ben or hey, I don't know, we can sew it in, glued in or something. 00:49:29 Speaker 3: A hat sewn into my skull. 00:49:31 Speaker 4: Has anyone ever done that? 00:49:34 Speaker 3: Probably? I feel like any idea that you can think of somebody else has done. 00:49:38 Speaker 4: Somebody is like, this is this hat is so perfect for me? 00:49:40 Speaker 5: Dude, we got to just put it in my skull. See, you get to have your branding area, you know, your branding era. You didn't get to have your branding time. This is you having your branding time. You get to sew the hat into your head. 00:49:53 Speaker 3: I had a little work done. Yeah, I had a miniature straw hat sewn into my skull. 00:49:59 Speaker 5: There's every ti time we see Bridger, he's got a hat, that little hat on it. 00:50:04 Speaker 4: Even when he sleeps. It's crazy. 00:50:07 Speaker 3: I'm I'm willing to look into that. I wonder what, like, what doctor you would have to go to and what sort of convincing would have to happen. I think you would probably have to go out of the country. He feels like one of those those things where it's like you're going to a place that's kind of lawless and the doctors are willing to sew hats into heads. 00:50:23 Speaker 4: I think a Dakota. 00:50:24 Speaker 3: I think you might be able to do in North or South. 00:50:26 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so. 00:50:28 Speaker 5: I bet you there's a doctor who's got loose morals and willing to. 00:50:31 Speaker 3: Try somewhere outside of like fifty miles outside of Vegas. Yeah, or maybe right there in Vegas, you know, could be in the casino. Wilder things have happened. 00:50:42 Speaker 5: I got my degree. Here's a picture of it on my phone. Let's do this. 00:50:47 Speaker 3: If a doctor shows you his degree on his phone. Uh, maybe maybe look elsewhere. Get back on zoc doc. Okay, well let's uh. I think it's time to play a game. 00:50:58 Speaker 4: Okay, do you know what I actually want. 00:50:59 Speaker 3: To play Gift for a Curse with you. Okay, we'll just see how it goes, all right, I need a number between one and ten. Uh eight, okay, the number eight. Let me do some light calculating. You have the microphone right now. I have to get our game pieces so you can recommend, promote, do whatever you want. 00:51:15 Speaker 5: I'll be oh, oh, okay, what to recommend or promote? Because you can follow me perhaps on Instagram, or send me a friend request on Facebook. I probably won't reply. Maybe Twitter. Maybe hit me up on Twitter. I have a TikTok, but it's really sparse. Never really posted, posted one thing deleted, it got embarrassed. Oh, got some shows probably coming up in general, just kind of an out. 00:51:49 Speaker 3: Wonderful. She's all over the look up, Rachel. Type her name into Google, into Instagram, find her, seek her out. She's wonderful, as you can tell. I hope you've already looked her up. Halfway through this podcast. Hopefully the listener has just eagerly gotten on the internet and found you already. But if they haven't, now's the time. This is how we played the game, Rachel. I'm gonna name three things. Okay, you're gonna tell me if they're a gift or a curse and why? Okay, and then I'm gonna tell you if you're a correct or not. There are correct answers, so you can lose this game in a big way. And then the listener who just followed you on Instagram is now unfollowing you, trying to block you or reporting you that kind of thing, so be careful. Okay, okay. Number one this is from a listener named Beth. Beth has suggested gift or a curse, babies dressed in band T shirts curse and why? 00:52:52 Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like it's the same kind of thing when it's like I don't think I've seen this, but like you know, when it's like daddy little or like Mommy's favorite, you know, like this one's gonna be a nasty whore when it grows up, Like those kinds of things. 00:53:08 Speaker 3: A baby T shirt that says this baby's going to be a nasty horror when it grows. 00:53:12 Speaker 5: That's essentially the like some of them is that you know, it's like, oh my slutty little baby is like giving blowing click kisses. 00:53:21 Speaker 4: It's just kind of the thing. Why I bring it up. 00:53:25 Speaker 5: It's kind of a similar sort of Okay, this baby doesn't know you know, like, this baby is just a baby. Why are you putting all this on a baby? Don't put a band T shirt on a baby, you. 00:53:34 Speaker 3: Know, right right, I see where you're coming from. And what I'm going to tell you band T shirts on a baby? All right, curse, Okay, you're right. I mean, this is what I'm gonna say. This is what I'm gonna say. I think it's deeply annoying. It's obnoxious. Your baby is not a bumper, it's not a billboard. It is a But this is this is what I'm gonna say. I think until the baby is able to vocalize its own opinions, there's a little leeway there. I think the first three months of a baby's life. Actually, no, we're not. We're not giving anyone any Wow. You don't put a baby in a band T shirt. You simply don't. It's it's not it's just you don't put them in a You don't put you know, people buy the shirt that says my baby's a Democrat or whatever. We don't do that either. It's obnoxious. The baby is defenseless against the clothes you're putting it in absolutely, so you've got to have the shirt has to say baby things. Yes, you should say things like I love apples, things that a baby likes to do. Babies can't vote, they can't select their own music, they can't go to concerts, so stop it. Don't use your baby as that's what that is. What a bumper sticker is for. For the bumper or you know your MySpace music interests. Keep those things there. It is a curse, you know. I can't argue for it to be a gift in any way. And I think dogs can. If you buy a piece of dog clothing that could have a band name on it, I think that's kind of cute. I don't know that I've ever seen that, but I would probably be fine with that. But again, it also comes down to the sort of band, and I don't know. I think that we're just in some tricky territory there where everyone ends up looking like a huge door. So okay, curse excellently done. Number two. This is from a listener named Carter Carter Carter, I think you would say. Carter Carter has suggested yellow flashing arrows, which I believe what we're talking about here, is the traffic signal. You know, there's the green arrow. And now this is something you see and I don't know if it's a new thing or what, but it's like a yellow arrow, uh huh, flashing and I don't even not one hundred percent sure what it even indicates. Gift to a curse. 00:56:06 Speaker 5: I guess it's caution, right, proceed with caution, right. I kind of think that's a curse because I feel like it's what you want is a green arrow. That's the row you want. There's not a lot of green arrows in LA. It's a lot of sort of kind of turning real quick on a red and praying for dear life, something that people, I think in no other cities really do. I think most people there's like some other indicator for you to make a left turn. 00:56:35 Speaker 4: I think a green arrow is what you want. 00:56:38 Speaker 5: A yellow arrow is absolutely bullshit, because isn't that just like when it's green, just a green light? 00:56:45 Speaker 4: Is the yellow arrow at a left turn? Right? 00:56:49 Speaker 5: Like, isn't that the that is? It seems like a waste of taxpayers dollars to reinvent these lights in such a hapless way. 00:56:58 Speaker 3: So you're saying, curse I'm saying, curse, you got it. I mean, my they are a curse, like I couldn't even describe to you. It's just confusion. It's unnecessary. It feels new to me. Something about the yellow flashing arrow is like, I feel like someone's sun got hired and they needed to give him. He had the idea, and he's like, why, well, why don't we do the green but worse and everyone had to just agree to it, and so now we're all we're all at the intersection wondering what is the Why can't I just have the green thing and I'll just remain here until it turns yellow and then turn the yellow thing just provides so much confusion, And I hate whenever I see when I don't, it makes me wonder what I'm doing the on the road. In any way, I love the green arrow, the most powerful signal signal of all, but the yellow flashing arrow is clearly the work of nepotism. You know, mister traffic lights, sun got higher and everybody just had to nod along as he pitched the yellow flashing arrow. It's a curse. Okay, Wow, you're doing You're doing an excellent job. Wow, don't know what to say, but we'll see what happens with this next one. Another listener suggestion Nathan. Nathan wants to know gift or a curse. Oh, and we have some police sirens in the background, which may or may not be coming through on the microphone. But we love to throw a you know, outdoor recording forgive the police flying through my neighborhood. Uh, not my choice. Nathan is wondering when gift a curse When a restaurant's mascot is the animal that they serve, for example, a barbecue place with a pig mascot. 00:58:39 Speaker 5: Oh, I don't know, you know, I think it's maybe a gift. 00:58:45 Speaker 3: Okay, I think it's. 00:58:46 Speaker 5: Kind of it goes with the theme like it's a morbid gift, you know. It's kind of like, oh, I'm going in, but I think. 00:58:55 Speaker 4: I mean, and not to bring up Chick fil A, but they. 00:59:00 Speaker 5: But they do have kind of the opposite where it's like, oh, they got the cow with the chicken. 00:59:06 Speaker 4: I I don't mind that. I mean, I don't I mean, I uh me, I'm never I'm never going to I am never. 00:59:13 Speaker 3: Franchise. 00:59:14 Speaker 5: Then they were a part of they were they were passed down to me, so it's not as if I could show them off. And we actually have a really diverse lineup that we employ. 00:59:26 Speaker 4: I got Chick fil A. 00:59:28 Speaker 5: We do a lot of charitable donations to the lgbtq r A community. But I digress about the Chick fil A money that I have nothing but kaboodles of there there. 00:59:39 Speaker 4: I think I think there's something kind of nice about knowing exactly what. 00:59:42 Speaker 5: You're going in for. You're going to a barbecue place. They got they got ribs in there. They got they got ribs out front from the cow or is it it's a no, it's a pig. 00:59:51 Speaker 3: I think you can get pig ribs. Come, oh no, it's actually you get ribs from both. To be honest, I think they were like beef. 00:59:59 Speaker 4: Ribs and pork ribs. 01:00:01 Speaker 3: But then they just kind of do the vague ribs. 01:00:04 Speaker 4: Which when you think about. 01:00:05 Speaker 3: Ribs, we're pushing it in a weird. 01:00:09 Speaker 5: Know how we got to ribs? These ribs are like why are we eating this? Actually, like all the other stuff, it's like, oh, it's kind of beat or whatever. 01:00:17 Speaker 3: It's like you can't really picture where it came from. 01:00:19 Speaker 5: On the end, but it's like ribs. It's like, well I could. They're right here on me, and they're right there on you. 01:00:26 Speaker 3: It's like serving arms. 01:00:27 Speaker 4: It's so bizarre. I guess that's legs. Kind of when you start to break it down. 01:00:34 Speaker 5: Eating it is just it gets a little interesting but weird. 01:00:39 Speaker 4: Hey look at us, we're doing it. We're in America. You have to I really lost the plot here, but I was pro. 01:00:46 Speaker 3: I am your gift. 01:00:47 Speaker 4: You're pro gift. I'm gift Rachel. 01:00:51 Speaker 3: Yeah, ring the bell, You've won the game. This is incredible. I think they're a gift too. You know, you bring up this Chick fil A thing, which I don't agree with. I don't like dragging cows into selling chickens. I think that's ridiculous. Yeah, it's unfair. I think it's perfectly fair. It makes me comfortable. When the pig is selling itself, it kind of says to me, the pigs are on board with this. When the cow is selling milk, the cow is, you know, the dairy product, like they're selling ice cream or whatever. I think it's kind of it is morbid, but you know, it's like, at least we're all keeping it all within one realm. But chick fil A, I mean, the company has so many problems we can't even begin to list. But blaming having the cows kind of talk about eating chickens is well, that's a line crossed. It's a bridge too far. 01:01:43 Speaker 4: I think you're right. 01:01:44 Speaker 3: I hate their advertising. 01:01:45 Speaker 4: I mean it's not great. 01:01:46 Speaker 5: It's a little too it's a little too homie, Like, oh, look at us so sitting around. I said, y'all are not doing this. 01:01:54 Speaker 2: Oh look at us. 01:01:54 Speaker 4: It was so nice. 01:01:55 Speaker 5: When I was sick and my friend came and she brought me chick fil A, and I was like, this bitch didn't do this. Y'all probably sent it to our hospital bag because you're trying to get some good fucking press. 01:02:05 Speaker 4: Oh look at chick fil A. Look at all these black people eating chickil A. It's so nice. 01:02:08 Speaker 5: We love black people, but if they're gay, not so much, like, come on, y'all, you will push them down a well, let's be honest. 01:02:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm behind all of that Chick fil A. If only the cow thing, it's a problem. And then they've got all of this other and we know that all of those cows are giant homophobes. Absolutely, they're climbing up on those billboards. You know, it's a the company is problematic, period. 01:02:37 Speaker 4: Yeah, tacky, tacky? What horrible colors? 01:02:40 Speaker 5: I know it's just red and white, but like something about that feels racist, you. 01:02:45 Speaker 4: Know what I mean? Something about that stark red and white. Oh, there's nothing good there there? 01:02:51 Speaker 3: Wow, you know you've there are not many people have won this game. Whoa. I think that there's like now maybe a total of five or six people, which is just like, so that's an incredible and I don't like when people win. Let's be honest. I like to watch a guest loose. Okay, so you're in very good company and you did an excellent job and there's nothing I can say about it. 01:03:14 Speaker 4: Nice. 01:03:15 Speaker 3: We're at the final segment of the podcast. Okay, this is called I said no emails. People write into I said no gifts at gmail dot com. Every one of them has a problem, which becomes my problem, which becomes your problem, which we solve. Will help me answer a question or two? Okay, yes, okay, let me let's see. Let's get into this. Dear mister Weineger. That's very nice, very formal, and guest firstly, love the Amy Mann theme song. Okay, fantastic, We all love Amy Mann. We love the theme song. Everyone should go listen to Amy Man. I'm in agreement with you there. Okay, So this, okay, to the meat of the email. My wife and I will be celebrating fifty years of marital bliss in September of twenty twenty two. Okay, it's coming down on the pike here. As Miss Man says every week in the theme song, we already have too much stuff. We are in our late sixties. My wife hates parties, and while neither of us have spent time out of the US, we might like to travel. You should know she overpacks for any domestic trips we have taken, which drives me crazy. Ooh, nature type adventure would be out of the question for her. Her other passions are financial record keeping, who isn't passionate about that? And going down internet rabbit holes. Oh okay, so now I'm what I'm saying is his wife is part of QAnon or something. I appreciate that this is a long This isn't a long email. This is a perfectly sized email with perhaps too much information, But any suggestions would be appreciated and that signed RZ oh so RZ late sixties. His wife hates parties, she's overpacking, she's driving him crazy. She doesn't want to go into nature. They want to go out of the country. Samey Man. We don't know if his We have to assume his wife loves Same Man as well and loves the podcast theme song. We all love it. But his wife also loves nothing gets her going like financial record keeping and going down internet rabbit holes. So his wife is it does sound like she's kind of become becoming an in cell. Yeah, what what do we do for their fiftieth? Where should they go out of the country? 01:05:28 Speaker 4: Oh, you know that is a tough one. 01:05:31 Speaker 5: Financial record keeping and going down rabbit holes? 01:05:36 Speaker 4: You know kind of feels like maybe you want to go to a castle or something. 01:05:39 Speaker 5: Oh interesting, you know, like I bet you they got the books from back in the day that you can look into. 01:05:45 Speaker 3: Can kind of look over the text, you. 01:05:47 Speaker 5: Can, Yeah, how much were they paying the servants and how much to have upkeep in the gardens? You know, And then I feel like rabbit holes. 01:05:58 Speaker 4: It's easy. 01:05:59 Speaker 5: There's just all kinds of little characters you could get into a cousin just you know, somebody coming in from out of the country, like who visited? 01:06:08 Speaker 3: That's interesting, So kind of combine the internet rabbit hole with some sort of family history search with the country so exactly, you know, you sign her up for one of those websites where it's like the genealogy or whatever. She's finding out where RZ is and her are from. Then you go to that country, which hopefully will be For example, they go to Versailles in France and they go to the tax closet, the famous tax closet they have Versailles, and going through these dusty old manila on our folders and just looking through the financial records of King Louis or what have you. That makes sense to me. Yeah, it feels like it just enough adventure. Oh for sure. You're not getting into the outdoors none at all. You go there by train and plane some sort of taxi service. That feels right to me. Easy. I mean, assuming that he's going down these internet rabbit holes and red pilling herself for what have you and becoming part of Q and on. I did watch the documentary, and I believe that a lot of that's taking place out of the Philippines. I believe one of the I believe let's say Q and on Oh it's Q. Q is the person right, the mysterious guy? Yeah, I believe the guy who says he's not Q, but his Q lives in the Philippines. Run some sort of little stand inside a mall or something. Is extremely gross. Oh, so you could go there. She might be interested in tracking him down. I believe he'll sell them in Japan. Oh, that's a nice trip. Q son lives in Japan. I'm pretty sure you watched. I can't remember the name of the documentary, but they talked to two weirdos who are clearly behind it in some way. Two guys who seemed like giant perverts. Yeah, one of them I believe owns a decent amount of swords. Of course. You know, so that feels like a good trip from this big fiftieth. 01:07:54 Speaker 4: Yeah, make a pilgrimage to the Philippines to visit QUE. 01:07:59 Speaker 3: I feel like both of those are excellent destinations. Are is it? Your answer is there? Get on it. You've gottenuntil September to book this trip. Should we answer one more question? Sure, let's do it. We might as well High Bridger and guest. There are six people that live in the house next door to me. Their driveway is full of cars and junk, and they okay. And they have an empty fish tank outside on the ground that has been there for six months. It just keeps filling up with rainwater and leaking back out. Three days ago, there was a wadded up burger King wrapper of some description on the wall between our houses. This is a seven foot wall. I of course poked it with a broom so it would fall onto their side of the wall. The next morning I found it inside my fence. What does this have to do with you? I have the same question, well, bridger to I need to give these people a gift that will say hey, neighbor, you're trash in the most passive aggressive way possible. Wow, this is feeling like a tough one for me. I can't I can't get involved in some kind of feud here, but I need them to know they're awful. Help Joey. Immediately, I'm thinking he lives in a castle. This snob has written in about his poor neighbors, who obviously have too many fish tanks, and so they've started keeping some of them outside. Now, this burger King rapper has come into the picture and there's a they're trying to decide on custody of the wrapper, and he's pissed. What does he give the neighbors? 01:09:31 Speaker 4: Oh Man really had a loss. 01:09:35 Speaker 3: This absolute snob has written into the podcast. Just because your neighbors have a ton of cars in their driveway and are throwing trash in your seven foot wall. 01:09:45 Speaker 5: That's a that's a tall wall, seven foot That through me. Also, six people, as if it's so many. 01:09:51 Speaker 3: Six people's not that big many a hole? 01:09:54 Speaker 4: Like what that standard? 01:09:55 Speaker 3: That's a pretty norm house is a big place. 01:09:57 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a that's a that's a few cup maybe or maybe it's a couple and a few kids. Maybe grandma's there, grandpa And then you got you know. 01:10:06 Speaker 3: You're describing Charlie and the chocolate. 01:10:08 Speaker 5: You know, you get your aunts and uncles holing a bed together is how we all grew up in this beautiful country. 01:10:14 Speaker 4: I feel like that's us. That's crazy toess think that that's so many people. 01:10:19 Speaker 5: Right, and a fish tank outside, I don't even see anything wrong with it. It's leaking back out though it's not even taking water from the plants or something. You know, it's going back out and into the environment, into the ecosystem. 01:10:31 Speaker 3: It sounds like a perfectly good fish tank. That sounds like it's up for grabs. Yeah, Joey is just looking at it rather than bringing it into his house or refurbishing it. And yeah, you know, saying now it's time for me to own some fish. 01:10:44 Speaker 4: Yeah, or an elevated terrarium. 01:10:46 Speaker 5: There we go, just a nice little like place for some cute little rocks, moss, et cetera. 01:10:52 Speaker 3: I feel like, I mean, I guess the burger king was the wrapper was the last straw. He poked it with a broom and then he says it fell over the fence. So he's now used the word wall and the word fence. We don't even know what he's working with. 01:11:07 Speaker 4: Hard to picture. 01:11:08 Speaker 5: I mean, wall makes more sense because I'm just picturing a burger king rapper balancing delicately on top of a fence. Doesn't even why was you he was gonna blow one way or the other. 01:11:20 Speaker 4: Devils had half of. 01:11:21 Speaker 3: A burger in him, and if it was, that was a free little food. Yeah, So I guess what does Joey. If Joey's gonna have such a problem with the six people who live next door he lives. Okay, now what we're getting to is Joey's lonely. 01:11:35 Speaker 4: He's alone, Yes. 01:11:39 Speaker 3: His pristine mansion. He's up in his tower looking down at his neighbor's fourteen cars and their fish tank and their garbage blowing all over, and he's wishing he had that for himself. Yes, he's wishing he had five roommates and garbage blowing everywhere. So maybe the gift he gives is his presence. Maybe he goes over there and, you know, just strikes up a friendship with these six people. 01:12:03 Speaker 1: Good. 01:12:04 Speaker 3: He takes the guard the burger king rapper and says, I don't know. I hate to interrupt, I hate to you know. I think this might belong to you, and I of course would love to keep the wrapper. I maybe you say I was going to frame it or keep it in my collection, but I couldn't possibly do that. Yeah, I believe it belongs to you. Yeah, that's a little conversation starts and. 01:12:24 Speaker 4: They're so appreciative, like they love it, Thank you so much. 01:12:28 Speaker 5: That's so sweet of you. Do you want to come in and play in sixty four with us? And now you don't have an enemy. Now you have a friend. 01:12:36 Speaker 3: You've got six yeah, six new friends, six new friends, and possibly a fish tank if you're if you have the strength to carry it into the castle. Joey, I mean, I am glad you wrote in. I was a little annoyed. I was a little upset that you came here with your elitist broom poking behavior. But I feel like we got to the root of the problem pretty quickly. You're a lonely snob, yeah, but not for much longer. No, let us know how it goes, or don't. That's also an option. And I hope that the seven of you grow as a family, a beautiful, gorgeous. A family can look like anything. Head down, it can look like seven strangers sitting at a burger king enjoying whoppers. 01:13:25 Speaker 4: Nothing more beautiful than chicken fries. 01:13:27 Speaker 3: Chicken fries still on the menu. Gotta be well, Rachel, We did it perfectly. We answered you two questions. 01:13:33 Speaker 4: Yeah, we've helped. 01:13:35 Speaker 3: We've sent two lifelong lovers off to either Japan, the Philippines or France. And we've given this lonely Joey man a new you know, he's now part of a community. 01:13:50 Speaker 4: Nothing better. 01:13:50 Speaker 3: No one could ask for more. You won the game. You gave me two little hats. Yeah, what a gorgeous thing. This has been so nice. It's just I've had a wonderful time I'm with you. Oh I've had too much water to you. 01:14:04 Speaker 5: Did chug such a big cup of water that I do have to say, that's on you. 01:14:09 Speaker 2: You. 01:14:10 Speaker 5: I know you've got a smaller cup than that you had. No one was saying that you couldn't drink it. The point was it doesn't taste is good. 01:14:22 Speaker 3: It was like a beautiful, crystal clear waterfall going straight into my stomach. 01:14:28 Speaker 5: Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies. I know you're lying to me, and that's okay. I know you're lying to me, but that's okay. 01:14:35 Speaker 3: All of my teeth are going to fall out. No, I stand behind the Los Angeles water and we love it. Rachel, thank you for being here. Thank you so much for having me listener. We've come to the end of the podcast.
