16
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 4: so be on the lookout. But hurry. You know, tuna

17
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,760

22
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 4: gonna say right off the bat, Okay, I'm out of

23
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 4: summer outfits. Okay, it's October when we're recording this. It's

24
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: ninety degrees. Yes, I've been wearing summer outfits since who

25
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: knows when. At this point, I'm ready to wear a

26
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: long sleeve shirt. Yeah, how are you feeling? You look

27
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 4: very summary, Thank you.

28
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 5: And I am tired of wearing summer outfits as well.

29
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a New Yorker.

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 5: Oh, and so I jump at the opportunity to put

31
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,279
Speaker 5: on a black turtleneck.

32
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: Oh, that's just heaven for me.

33
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 5: And I was in I was doing a show the

34
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 5: other day in San Francisco, and I was able to

35
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 5: break out the black turtle.

36
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

37
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 5: So you know, today is an unusually like an unusually unusual.

38
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: I think I liked unusually believe. I think we should

39
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 4: we need to put that in the lexicon. Actually, that

40
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: rolls right off the tongue.

41
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: Unusual ably unusually warm day.

42
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: It's uh, it's the sort of warm where you just

43
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 4: feel like you feel like you can pass through. It's

44
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: like a physical The air is solid. Yeah, I feel

45
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: like I'm in a wall or something hiding in the attic.

46
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

47
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and last week it was nice.

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: It was nice.

49
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 4: Now it's horrible.

50
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like dead of summer weather.

51
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: That's what it feels like about like July twenty ninth. Yes,

52
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 4: and it does a lot the brain. Yeah, it does

53
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: a lot to my brain at least. But I have

54
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: the windows open and my house feels perfectly fine.

55
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: Interesting, isn't that strange.

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: Because throughout the summer we have to have the windows sealed,

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: AC on. Yeah, my house is perfectly pleasant right now.

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: Or maybe I have just my standards of lowered.

59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: I don't know.

60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 5: You know, I was in an Uber when this is Sorry,

61
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 5: this might sound like a shift, but it's not. Because

62
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 5: I am the type of person that will have the

63
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 5: cooling air on as well as the windows open, because

64
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 5: I love fresh air, even if it's not moving. I

65
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 5: just want to know I have access to it, right,

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 5: But then I'll.

67
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: Turn on like the AC or central cooling just to

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: cool things off.

69
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 5: Sure, And when I was in an Uber, I requested

70
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 5: that the AC stay on, but then I was like,

71
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna roll down the window and the Uber driver

72
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 5: got really upset with me, and I, you know, I

73
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: feel like the ride share relationship is reciprocal, you know,

74
00:03:59,160 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 5: it has to be.

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

76
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 5: So I was like, oh, unless is there something I

77
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 5: was trying to figure it out. I was like, is

78
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 5: this something wrong with your windows? Like well, you know,

79
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 5: like why don't you want me to have what I want?

80
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 5: And he was like, oh, you know that ruins your car?

81
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: Ruins?

82
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: And I was I know so little about cars.

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 5: I drive a Tesla and someone had to tell me

84
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 5: that I could access the radio.

85
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: Did you think that, like radio was just not part

86
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: of the futuristic pasta.

87
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 5: I just thought that that was because I didn't see it.

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 5: It's it wasn't there and available to me. So when

89
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 5: this the person was wildly disappointed in my ignorance, but he.

90
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: Like, you believed him in the moment that this could

91
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 4: ruin the car?

92
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I believed him and he kind of explained

93
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: to me.

94
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 5: He was like, something happened, like it won't ruin the car,

95
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 5: but it will ruin your cooling system because.

96
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 4: Oh god, I don't know, there's no way. That's maybe

97
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 4: if you did it for two hundred years.

98
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and who has a car for two hundred years now?

99
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 6: He's full of Shit's got the notes? It says it's

100
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 6: not harmful to the car, just wasteful of fuel. So

101
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 6: that sounds like, sounds like it's a hymn problem.

102
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 4: Yes, that's an old wives tale.

103
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like a frugal uber driver.

104
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: And we can't blame anybody. We're all trying to pinch

105
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: pennies where we can.

106
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 5: Sounds like I'm gonna have to go back and look

107
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 5: at my ride history and change that rating.

108
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 4: You are a vengeful person. Wow, So what ended up happening?

110
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 4: You just got the AC That's all he put along.

111
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 5: I think I was pleasant enough for him to roll

112
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 5: the window down a little bit for a little while,

113
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 5: and I think he kept checking with me. He was like,

114
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 5: it was a pretty long ride because I'm in New York.

115
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 5: There's traffic, okay. So after a few minutes he was like,

116
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 5: you still want it down, and maybe after about three

117
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 5: check ins, I'm like, okay, you know, you go roll

118
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 5: it up.

119
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: It's fine.

120
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: Three checks This is a lot. That's where you're like, oh,

121
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: you really hate this.

122
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 5: I'm like, you know what, let me you you let

123
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 5: me have what I wanted for fifteen minutes.

124
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 3: I'll oblige you.

125
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: Maybe he's eco conscious.

126
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 3: I think.

127
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 4: I'm fighting for this guy now. I'm totally on his side.

128
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 5: But you know what, when you're getting like on and

129
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 5: off flights and things, all you want, like you you

130
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 5: do want a comfortable temperature setting, but for some reason

131
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 5: you want air because when you're in an airpool and

132
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 5: you're in a flight, the air feels so artificial, it

133
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 5: feels so stale.

134
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, so you should be able to crack

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 4: the window whenever you want. Yeah, just a little bit

136
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 4: of outside let it in. Everybody appreciates that. For a

137
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 4: minute you're on the freeway or something exactly. I mean,

138
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 4: if you had your window roaring during the freeway, I

139
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: can see the real problem.

140
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

141
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 4: Do you know what I was wondering with my car

142
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 4: air conditioning recently, is you know the foot feature? You know,

143
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 4: it's like you have feet or the face. The feet

144
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 4: thing never does anything for me. Do you have that?

145
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 4: I why not just have it directly on my torso

146
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 4: and face?

147
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: Yes?

148
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 5: So the only time, okay, when I prefer the air

149
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 5: blowing towards my feet is when it's when I need

150
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 5: the heating.

151
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: Right.

152
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: It's something about just warm.

153
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 4: Toe's like it's like a head floor.

154
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna get there, you know, like it's comforting

155
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 5: and you know, but when it's cold, when i'm when

156
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 5: it's cold air, the only time I move it from

157
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 5: my face is like if I just got my hair

158
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 5: done and it's so flowy that it can't really stand like.

159
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: Much air pressure.

160
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 5: So it's like we're not trying to seem like we're

161
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 5: in a tornado, you know, Like, so I have to

162
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 5: like move it, although I don't want to.

163
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: Right, that makes sense As a short haired person, I

164
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 4: guess this just never crosses my mind. Yeah, yeah, it's

165
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 4: just the short hair privilege or something. Yeah, but yeah,

166
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: the foot thing I'm wondering, are my legs not are

167
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: the nerves and some sort of nervous system problem?

168
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 5: What about do you have on pants or shorts? Because

169
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 5: I feel like you'd feel it immediately if you have

170
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 5: on shorts.

171
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: Feeling nothing, you're feeling feeling nothing, Or maybe my legs

172
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 4: just need to be really cold. Maybe yeah, maybe it's

173
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: an incredible question I'm asking.

174
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 5: So cold air is coming out towards your legs and feet,

175
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 5: I'm like, wait a minute, investigative refers, and you're not

176
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 5: feeling anything.

177
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 4: As far as I know, or maybe it's mental. Maybe

178
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 4: I'm just like the immediacy of it coming towards my

179
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 4: upper body is like, I don't know, Maybe I need

180
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: to do some testing. Yeah, do some real research with this. Yeah.

181
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 4: But cold air falls, so I feel like having it.

182
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 4: That's true, right, because hot rises.

183
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know.

184
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: You're looking at me like I'm a complete moron. No.

185
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 5: When you said no, no, no, when you said cold

186
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 5: air falls, all I thought was, well, heat rises, that's

187
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 5: all good.

188
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 4: So you're confirming my scientific knowledge.

189
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 2: Uh.

190
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 4: So I feel like it coming towards my body. It's

191
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 4: like that's enough the waterfall. It's coming down to the feet.

192
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 4: But I am going to leave it on just my

193
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 4: feet for maybe an hour today. Well, I'm not gonna

194
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 4: be driving for an hour. Where am I going Palm springs? Uh?

195
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 4: My ten minute trip to the grocery store. No, Torso

196
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 4: simply the feet, the.

197
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 3: Feet, and see if you feel it.

198
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 5: If you don't feel it, we gotta we gotta get

199
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 5: you to a.

200
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 4: Sort of doctor. Do I seek? Is that a physiologist?

201
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: Is that it orthopedic doctors?

202
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say orthopedic because it's not bones or or muscle.

203
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 5: It would be nerves.

204
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 4: It would be like spinal doctor.

205
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, the nerve I'm looking.

206
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: Like yougis oh yeah, that's a good that's a good job. Yeah.

207
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 5: I like I still a neurologists and to see if

208
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 5: I had some nerve damage, and I it always feels

209
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 5: much more thorough than any other doctors.

210
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: What do they do. I'm so curious. I've never been

211
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 4: to one.

212
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 5: It depends, but sometimes they can like attach sensors to

213
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 5: whatever part of your body that they're trying to test,

214
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 5: and then they send the electro oh like kind of

215
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 5: like shots right right, if you know, if it's picking up.

216
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 5: I had years ago, I was in a I was

217
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 5: hit by a truck. I was gonna say I was

218
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 5: in a really bad car accident, but I wasn't in

219
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 5: a car, but I while I was in a hospital,

220
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 5: the neurologists took needles, really long thin needles, and stuck

221
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 5: them in certain places and then sent the electro yeah

222
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 5: through those needles to see, like, you know what part

223
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 5: of my yeah yeah, yeah.

224
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: Yeah wow. And I assume you felt it in some places.

225
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 5: I did in some places. I felt it in a

226
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 5: different place.

227
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: In my body.

228
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 4: Fascinating.

229
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, like he might have done it in like my hip,

230
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 5: but then I felt it like near my shin.

231
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 4: That's almost like psychic.

232
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody gives you no information.

233
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 5: Except that better be real comfortable in life when I

234
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 5: hit sixty two because it's gonna be hard.

235
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: That's enough for a psychic revelation. Yeah. Maybe I'll go

236
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 4: to a neurologists just as a little experience at some point,

237
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: just waste a neurologists' time.

238
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: I think they'll love it.

239
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 5: I think if you go to a neurologist and say, listen,

240
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 5: I got the ac or my car blasting on my

241
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 5: legs at sixty one degrees for solid ten minutes and

242
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 5: I feel nothing, the neurologist is going to say, I'm

243
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 5: happy you came in today.

244
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: Neurologists is the job. In middle school I told everyone

245
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 4: was going to because I was too ashamed to say

246
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 4: I wanted to do whatever this is really and there's

247
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 4: no chance I was not on the path to neurology.

248
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 4: What are we talking about? I mean I was done

249
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: with science and math in eleventh grade. Yeah, I mean,

250
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 4: forget it. So people probably saw through it.

251
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it it is inspiring, like when you hear

252
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: a little kid, it's like I want to be a

253
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 5: because I mean neurologists. How many syllables is that? Even

254
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 5: just a word is ambitious to say, you know, I'm

255
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 5: going to be a neurologist, just.

256
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 4: Like luck baby.

257
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 5: If you believe in them, it's like that's really promising.

258
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 5: And if you don't believe in them, it's so cute.

259
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: You know.

260
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: I's like they don't know.

261
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 4: Yet, right, It's like I'm gonna be a fairy princess

262
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 4: or something. What temperature are you keeping on in the car?

263
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 4: I'm gonna just keep talking about temperature because I feel

264
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 4: like I'm bad with temperature.

265
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: I am.

266
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm bad with temperature, but I

267
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 5: need to bring it to a balance. I'm a room

268
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 5: temperature type of person. Okay, so I'm only doing whatever

269
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 5: is necessary to get it to room temperature. So if

270
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 5: it's ninety degrees outside, then I got to turn on

271
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 5: cold air, and then the moment it gets too cold,

272
00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 5: I gotta.

273
00:12:59,200 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: Shut it off.

274
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 4: But let's say, what cold are you going to?

275
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 3: I'm sixty is the lowest that my car will.

276
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: Be, But you're going all the way to six.

277
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: I'm going all the way to sixty because okay.

278
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: Oh, now I feel very strange.

279
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: Wait, what kind of car do you drive?

280
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 4: I drive an electric Hyundai.

281
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 3: Okay, So the thing about the Tesla is, you know,

282
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 3: the top is all like glass.

283
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 5: Oh, and so it takes on in the most disrespectful

284
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 5: way the temperature out the greenhouse it is, you know,

285
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 5: and think, I think that it is the only downside

286
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 5: to that vehicle.

287
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 4: So far that it's like a very obvious flaw.

288
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 5: So it's yeah, and so you have to like the

289
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 5: car thinks that it's so smart that even if I

290
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 5: try and put it on like seventy, it's like, no,

291
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 5: I need to I know, you think that's okay, but

292
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 5: I got to take care of myself.

293
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: So the car will try and regulate its.

294
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 4: Own temperature, right, you know, right, And so it's heading

295
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 4: down to six, so.

296
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 5: It goes down to sixty and then it does a

297
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 5: good job. It does it very fast. But then I

298
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 5: get too cold.

299
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: M Oh, this is nice there for me. You don't

300
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 4: get the flu or something.

301
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 5: No, because I have the windows down, you know, and

302
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 5: just thinking about my uba drive like just anxious, like.

303
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: He told me, this is terrible.

304
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 4: I should not have come to you with these questions.

305
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 4: It's mayhem with you. The temperatures are all over the place,

306
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: the windows are open, the sun is beating down. Yes,

307
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 4: it's They should have like an umbrella for the Tesla.

308
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 4: That feels like a good invention. Yeah, I mean umbrella

309
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: that sits on top of the car.

310
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 3: A nice a nice rainbow one.

311
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: I feel like people would get into that.

312
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 5: I would hate that.

313
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 4: You say it now, I'd appreciate.

314
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 3: Its function, but I'd hate the way it looks.

315
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: How about like one that matches the color of the car.

316
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: That makes sense.

317
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 5: So this is the thing, This is what the car

318
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 5: offers that I never take advantage of.

319
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 3: And this is not a commercial for Tesla. Forgive me.

320
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know. I'm You're just winked at me.

321
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 3: Let's get a sponsor.

322
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 5: So you can, of course control the car from your

323
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 5: phone anywhere in the world.

324
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: Right, Like if I.

325
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 5: Left my car here and then had to go away

326
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 5: and you were like, hey, Zaynab, I need to move

327
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: your car, I could just give you access through my

328
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 5: phone and then you just drive my car.

329
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 4: Really, Yeah, that's incredible.

330
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: Yes, it's wonderful. It's convenient.

331
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 4: That's incredibly convenient.

332
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 5: And so they have this function in the Tesla app

333
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 5: where you can cool off your car before you get in.

334
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 4: Right, I have this. I know I don't have a

335
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 4: fancy enough to let people just go driving whenever.

336
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, I can make you an authorized user and

337
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 5: all you would need is your phone.

338
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 4: You've got to let me be an authorized user.

339
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: Just in case.

340
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 5: It's like I have I have a year from now,

341
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 5: I have roadside trouble and I'm like, Fridger, are you available?

342
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: I would be there in an instant. I wouldn't think

343
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 4: for a second.

344
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: Are your legs working?

345
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 4: I would be headed over. So just keep me in mind,

346
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 4: That's all I'm going to say.

347
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 5: But I forget to do that until I get in

348
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 5: the car, and I'm like, why didn't Right, It's.

349
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: Ninety seven degrees in his car? Why didn't I do that?

350
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: Right? You should treat yourself every once in a while.

351
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 4: It's like having a little person there just waiting for

352
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 4: you with the cool air on, little ghosts or something

353
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 4: sounds so lovely.

354
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 5: Tiny angels with spray bottles and fans.

355
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 4: Now with that other feature, have you given that access

356
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 4: to anybody so that they can drive your car? Yes?

357
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: My sister, and has she taken advantage of it?

358
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 5: She's driven it, but she hasn't. I wouldn't say she's

359
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 5: taken advantage of it, Okay, okay, but but I will

360
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 5: say that she was driving it. When I returned home

361
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 5: from like a work trip.

362
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 4: Oh interesting.

363
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 5: And when I when the uber dropped me off at

364
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 5: my house and my car wasn't in the driveway, I

365
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 5: did feel away.

366
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: Right, and I knew I wasn't going anywhere.

367
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 5: This was like one of those trips work trips where

368
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 5: I was in five different states in five different days,

369
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 5: and so I knew when I got home, I was

370
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 5: gonna postmate some food and then crash on a couch

371
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 5: for seventeen hours, right, right. But something about not seeing

372
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 5: my car there made me feel restricted.

373
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 4: It's unsettling. Yeah, you need to know you can go exactly,

374
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 4: it's all you need exactly. Yeah, now you're just trapped

375
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 4: at home. Yeah that seems bad to me.

376
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

377
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 5: And so I texted my sister and I was like, hey,

378
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 5: how long will you be? And she was like, oh,

379
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 5: did you have somewhere to go?

380
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: And I was like no. She's like, okay, did you

381
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 3: need something? And I was like no.

382
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 4: But no, I totally get that feeling. My boyfriend is

383
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 4: living in New York right now, so he got rid

384
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 4: of his car, and so for like two days he

385
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 4: needed to use my car. But there were times where

386
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 4: it's like, I just need you can't drive it for

387
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 4: these hours. I'm not going anywhere, but what if I

388
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: have an idea. Yeah, it's just the mere thought of

389
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 4: him being out gallivanting and I want to go to

390
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 4: Target for no reason.

391
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: Target is my favorite place?

392
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 4: Is it reasonly?

393
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 3: Yeah? I feel like it's the uh.

394
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 5: I don't know about guys, but I feel like the lady,

395
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 5: the thirty five year old lady, Like that's how Disneyland like, Yo,

396
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 5: I'm never bored. If Target is open, then I'm never bored.

397
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 5: I always got something. When the pandemic, everything's shut down,

398
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 5: maybe like a week or two weeks into it, when

399
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 5: Targets sent out their email like hey, we have reduced hours,

400
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 5: but we're opening up, I.

401
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 3: Said, I got to go. I gotta go.

402
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: I am literally right there with you. I was in line.

403
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 4: I was ready to do some at least minor wandering.

404
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 4: I had to just look at objects and feel kind

405
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: of normal.

406
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 5: I'm like, let me read these greeting cards, what's new

407
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 5: in the Mahogany collection.

408
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 4: You know, it's a thing to do. It's a nice

409
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 4: time killer.

410
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 5: It is, and it's it's always laid out, so, you know,

411
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: I don't know.

412
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 3: I don't know where this came from.

413
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 5: Again, I'm from New York City and we didn't grow

414
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 5: up I didn't grow up with stores like this. It

415
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 5: took me moving to LA to have gone to a

416
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 5: Walmart for the first time in my life, right, And

417
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 5: so I don't know.

418
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 3: Target is like, that's that's my chance.

419
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 4: There's a novelty and a freedom, and you're just like

420
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 4: the space. Yeah yeah, I mean, and the Targets in

421
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 4: New York don't do this same thing.

422
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 3: I don't even think I've ever been.

423
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 4: They're you know, they're like every big New York store.

424
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 4: They're not big. Yeah, it's not that like, oh I'm

425
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 4: in the middle of a field, but no, I'm actually

426
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 4: in the serial eye.

427
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

428
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's your close close quarters. Yeah.

429
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 4: I'm a very I love Target. It's my museum.

430
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

431
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 4: I like to just wander and look at things same frequently,

432
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 4: don't buy anything, which I think is crossing a line. Yeah,

433
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 4: but it's still a good time, Do you always leave

434
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 4: with something?

435
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 5: I would say yes, I think that if ever I

436
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 5: have not left, I go in not thinking I need anything,

437
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 5: you know, just waiting for something to jump out at me.

438
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: I'm going to Target for inspiration.

439
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 5: But if I don't leave with something from Target, then

440
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 5: something's not right in the world, right, because you know,

441
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 5: I don't know, there's possibility.

442
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 4: It means that kind of your anchor has failed you. Yeah,

443
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 4: and maybe your loss, maybe Target's lost.

444
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,719
Speaker 3: Sometimes I leave with things I know I'm going to return.

445
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 4: Oh, I love that feeling, you know, like, yeah.

446
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 5: I'm going to buy this breadmaker today because I was

447
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 5: feeling ambitious.

448
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: But then tomorrow reality will set in.

449
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 4: Sometimes you just need to get it home now the

450
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 4: feeling is gone. Yeah, and I can take it back.

451
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 4: I understand that.

452
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 5: Sometimes it doesn't even come out in my car, and

453
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 5: that's when I know, like, oh, you never planned on

454
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 5: using this.

455
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a that's a mistake. That's just an absolute

456
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 4: mistake to be driving around with something that you need

457
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 4: to return. Yeah. I've had some T shirts in my

458
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,239
Speaker 4: car for a week that have to go back. I

459
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 4: can't bring myself to the Whole Foods to drop them off.

460
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 4: So it's just always in the back of my mind.

461
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 4: I've got to get rid of it. It's taking up

462
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 4: brain energy.

463
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know how, like, okay, this is the last

464
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 5: thing I'll say about. Sorry, there's how much I love try.

465
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 5: You know how target offers like they can just bring

466
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 5: it out to your car, right, I never choose that

467
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 5: app Okay, I was about to feel very betrayed.

468
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: Ever, I gotta go in.

469
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 5: What thank you? So I came all the way here

470
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 5: and did it? See my best friend?

471
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 4: What? No? A thousand percent agree, there's no question I'm

472
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 4: going into the store. Yes. Actually, I wouldn't even like

473
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: if they had piled the things up for me to take.

474
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 4: Wouldn't want that. I want to go on the journey.

475
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 5: Yes, you just want to put it in my trunk.

476
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 5: You don't want any interaction?

477
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 4: No, no, no, where's the joy? No? I mean we

478
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 4: have a very similar target mindset. It's shocking to me

479
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 4: we've never run into each other at a target.

480
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: Which targets do you go to?

481
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 4: If there's a target I see, I'll go in it.

482
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 4: But my local targets are the Eagle Rock, Glendale. Okay,

483
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 4: Occasionally I'll get into the Alhambra or Pasadena. Okay, used

484
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 4: to be the one on Los Sienaga. Do you know

485
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: this one which one moved to La. It's Loscienaga, near

486
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 4: a giant seas candy factory.

487
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: Yes, that's that's the target.

488
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 4: I go there, that's yours.

489
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 3: That's my target. Now.

490
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 5: I used to always go to cause that's like south,

491
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 5: that's like I don't know, in.

492
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: Between here and airport right exactly.

493
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 5: But when I lived in Hollywood, my target used to

494
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 5: be uh, Santa Monica and Librea.

495
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I don't like that one, Okay, No, I'm thinking, oh,

496
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 4: it's fine, it's okay. No, I'm thinking about the one

497
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 4: on the West Hollywood that's in a nightmare zone. Who

498
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 4: knows that sees candy factory things?

499
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

500
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 4: When I first moved to LA, I applied for a

501
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 4: job working there. It's like their warehouse. Yeah, And I

502
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,239
Speaker 4: handed the application to a woman who's probably in her

503
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 4: seventies and she said, can you lift a box over

504
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 4: fifty pounds? And I said yes, and she just shook

505
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 4: her head. I did not get the job. This is horrifying.

506
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 4: And you know she's lifting all these boxes, so she's like,

507
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 4: no way, child. That will stick in my mind forever.

508
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 5: But you know, I love that when someone knows us

509
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 5: better than we know, like they know our reality. Way

510
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 5: back when when I first started doing stand up, I

511
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 5: was like, okay, in order for me, like, I know,

512
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,159

00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 5: I need to work for an airline.

514
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 3: That way, any comedian that wants me to like.

Speaker 4: Your first fan. That's incredible.

560
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 5: And I was like a little bit pistol. I was like, lady,

561
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 5: this is a part of me following my dream.

562
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 3: I'm kind of.

563
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 4: I need free flights.

564
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I got what she was saying, right of course,

565
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 5: like this could be a massive detour in your life, right, and.

566
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 3: You need to be very direct on his pet. That's

567
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 3: how I took it.

568
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 4: I know a lot of situations i'd be like, oh,

569
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: she's making an excuse because she doesn't want to hire you.

570
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 4: But I feel like being a flight attendant takes over

571
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 4: your life. Yeah, you're like in every time zone, You're

572
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 4: staying in different cities all the time. I think it

573
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 4: may have ruined your life.

574
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

575
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, people loving flight attendants, but I

576
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 4: don't think it was for you.

577
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: It wasn't for me. I mean, clearly it wasn't for me.

578
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 4: I'll also say in that moment, you should have lied.

579
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 4: Job interviews are pureized yeah, yeah, don't be honest. Yeah,

580
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 4: don't tell me you're on your way out.

581
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 3: I don't know.

582
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 5: I think that she when she said it. I think,

583
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 5: you know, some people you can lie to, strangers or

584
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 5: people you've known your entire life, and then there people

585
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 5: who you just cannot something about them, like you know,

586
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 5: permeates your it makes you completely transparent, you know.

587
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 4: Right, people say that about me. Really no, but this woman,

588
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 4: she had the energy she.

589
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: Did and I didn't. Fin Maybe I secretly knew.

590
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 4: Right, it's probably like on a deeper, deeper level your

591
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 4: feeling and there was some sort of connection there.

592
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

593
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,520

00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 4: It does seem like a good time to me.

608
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then I would have woke up ten years

609
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 3: later and been like, what was that? Wait? What I

610
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 3: came to it? Leana? I remember I told a joke.

611
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 3: You know, it would have.

612
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 4: Been Yeah, it would have gone by in a flash.

613
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 4: You would have always wondered, Yeah, yeah, wow, well something

614
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 4: I've been wondering about. Yes, the podcast is called I

615
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 4: said no Gifts. Yes, I was very, very excited to

616
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 4: have you here today. I thought, she's gonna come by,

617
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 4: well chat. Hopefully the heat won't be overwhelming that part

618
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 4: has It hasn't worked out as planned. I am sweating

619
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 4: like crazy, but I thought otherwise, we're going to have

620
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 4: a nice summary time. So I was a little surprised

621
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 4: when the doorbell rang and I open it and I

622
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 4: see you, and then I see you're holding what appears

623
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 4: and I'm just I hate to assume what appears to

624
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 4: be a gift for me? Yes, what's happening here?

625
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 5: So I thought about a few things. Okay, that is

626
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 5: in fact a gift for you, Okay, right right? And

627
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 5: I thought I wonder if anyone ever actually listens to

628
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 5: him and doesn't bring a gift. And then I was like,

629
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 5: but I don't want to be.

630
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 4: That person, you know, right, that's interesting process.

631
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: You know.

632
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 5: Then I thought, well, maybe it doesn't have to be

633
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 5: a tangible gift.

634
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: Maybe I could write him a high coup. Oh then

635
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: I didn't want to write a high coup.

636
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 4: That's a lot of work.

637
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 3: Then I thought, well, he'll like this gift. You know

638
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: how people think that they're the exception.

639
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 4: Of course, people say that about me all the time.

640
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 5: I didn't have the courage to not show up with

641
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,959
Speaker 5: a gift as much as you said, don't so please

656
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 4: printed it out and framed it and then it became

657
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:48,200

669
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 4: to keep going up. Yeah, someone's gonna buy it for

670

Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you know what it is?

684
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 5: What I think that it is the weirdest thing to

685
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 5: give someone a gift without a card with it. I

686
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 5: don't know where I got that from, right, I don't

687
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 5: know why. I don't know if you just need to

688
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 5: like put your name on it, get like you need

689
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 5: to attach like a greeting. But it feels very strange

690
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 5: to me to give someone something wrapped and then just

691
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 5: like that's.

692
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 4: You know, you know, it almost feels like it could

693
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 4: just literally have been from anybody. Yeah, you found that

694
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 4: in the road to give to them.

695
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like putting your hair in a ponytail without

696
00:32:59,000 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 5: a hair tie.

697
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 4: I mean that's impressive. Yeah. No, I agree with that

698
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 4: for the most part. I feel like I'm trying to

699
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 4: think of any any time I've ever given a gift without.

700
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 3: Without a card. It just doesn't.

701
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, even to like like kids like my nieces

702
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 4: have some card.

703
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: I think you can give a card without a gift.

704
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 4: Right, Which, come on, now you're hinting that you could

705
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 4: have given me more. What a shame I didn't. You're

706
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 4: just making me read. Yeah, okay, I'm opening the gift.

707
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 4: Here it feels like there are two things. Take them

708
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 4: both out.

709
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.

710
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 4: They're like little packages within a package, which I appreciate.

00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 4: It's in like a little like air tight package.

714
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 3: Calibash, calabash.

Speaker 4: Yes and tells you everything?

722
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 5: I So Here's here's what's funny about this gift is

723
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 5: as I was walking out of my house with it,

724
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 5: I thought, who gives loose leaf tea without the actual

725
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 5: functioning teep like the thing to steep it?

726

Speaker 4: Right?

727
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 5: I've made I've made a pretty big assumption about you.

728
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 4: You've made an enormous incorrect.

729
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 5: That you somehow have what is necessary to steep loose

730
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 5: leaf tea.

731
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be going through the cabinets. Okay, but this

732
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: might be, you know, a good thing for me. It

733
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 4: might be the you know, you're lighting a fuse in

734
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 4: my life where I'm like, I have to go out

735
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 4: and get what's necessary.

736
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 3: I've given you a reason to go back to targeting.

737
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 4: Right exactly, I'm gonna I'll be there today. Yes, who

738

742
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: So here's the thing about loose leaf tea.

743
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 5: Okay, first of all, I am totally I used to

744
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 5: be like an espresso girl.

745
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 3: Okay, espresso coffee all the time.

746
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 5: Anytime I take that over a meal. If you know,

747
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,280

Speaker 5: you know, get what, Get that car protein vegetable out

749
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 5: of here, you know. And then I reached the point

750
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 5: in my life where I started having these allergic reactions

751
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 5: to things.

752
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 3: Well one of them was espresso.

753
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 4: Oh this is my nightmare.

754
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like everything I loved.

755
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 5: She told me, this doctor told me that I couldn't have,

756
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 5: and I was like, what is life? Of course, and

757
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 5: I moved into machas, you know, because I really, well,

758
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 5: is it.

759
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a whole lifestyle shift, it really is.

760
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 5: You know.

761
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 4: It tastes like health, it tastes.

762
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 5: Like grass, and it depends on the macha you get,

763
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 5: you know. But I also did not want to be

764
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 5: having these reactions that I was having, right, And I

765
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 5: think the thing with machas, you realize like, oh wait,

766
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 5: you go to some places and you're like, oh, people

767
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 5: are just making lattes out of teas, right, right, And

768
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 5: so then I got into tea like I always drank tea.

769
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 4: But you're not thinking about it.

770
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,440

00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 3: Your water. He's like, so you have to switch over

787
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 3: to loose leaf tea.

788
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 4: Oh that is mortifying. So how long have you been

789
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 4: doing loose leaf?

790
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 3: Probably since May.

791
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 4: Oh it's a recent thing.

792
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 3: It's a recent thing.

793
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 4: Okay, So when did you I've got a lot of

794
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 4: questions because I have a lot of questions about coffee

795
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 4: and everything in general. When did you stop coffee or espresso?

796
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 3: Coffee and espresso?

797
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 4: Oh okay, so you're done with coffee altogether.

798
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 5: I've been trying recent lead to do it go like put.

799
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 3: It back in.

800
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 5: So I have like one, I had one, like a latte,

801
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 5: like maybe like two weeks ago, and then I found

802
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 5: the next two days I had migraines.

803
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: That I could not get rid of.

804
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 5: Oh no, yeah, so I stopped coffee and espresso in

805
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 5: the either the very end of.

806
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty one, the very end of twenty twenty one.

807
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 4: So you've been off for a while. Yeah, and you

808
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 4: were drinking plastic for about a year and a half.

809
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was going strong with macha's at first, and

810
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 5: then my favorite I found this place, this cafe in

811
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 5: Harvard Heights that they made an amazing macha. I mean,

812
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 5: I'm like, this isn't macha. This is just a treat

813
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 5: in my mouth. It happens to be green.

814
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 4: Right, had a very good shade of green, by the way,

815
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 4: a very.

816
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: Good shade grit. But they would do the strawberry milk,

817
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 3: you know, when I would get it iced. Oh, I mean,

818
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: I mean I was.

819
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 5: I was screaming from the rooftop, you know, like you

820
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 5: guys got it.

821
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 3: This is a special thing. And I so I fast.

822
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 4: During Mama done, okay? Sure?

823
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 5: And Ramadan this year was it's in March, okay, And

824
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 5: so I'm not eating or drinking during the day, right,

825
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 5: But as soon as Ramadan is over, you know, you

826
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 5: want to be able to go to your favorite places

827
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 5: while the sun is up, because for thirty days you've abstained.

828
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 4: Right.

829
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 5: I go to my coffee shop and I see a

830
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 5: sign on a window, or my macha shop. Rather, I

831
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 5: see a sign on a window saying sorry, but as.

832
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 4: Of oh, this feeling permanently yeah, permanently crushing, crushing. You

833
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 4: just assume restaurants and coffee shops will always be there.

834
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 4: It just it never crosses your mind that they, like

835
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 4: the ones you love, will go out of business. I

836
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 4: mean it's like next to family members and friends dying,

837
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 4: Like restaurants, you're like, they'll just be there forever and

838
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 4: will live together.

839
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 5: And sometimes you think like, well, there's so many shitty

840
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 5: places that have been open for years. This place is

841
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 5: like a gem, you know, this is like this is

842
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 5: like a beautiful little treat in this neighborhood. They're for

843
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 5: sure they're going to last.

844
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 4: Why do bad things happen to good restaurants? Yes?

845
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 5: And then the shock is because it's like, if it

846
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 5: weren't Ramadan, I would have been there multiple times, so

847
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 5: I would have at least been prepared, you know what

848
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 5: I'm saying. I would have spent the last week just

849
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 5: there every day, you know, like a going out of business.

850
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 4: Heard it like croak out its final word.

851
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 3: Yes, but this was a shock.

852
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 4: Do you blame yourself? Were they hanging by a thread

853
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 4: and every day they're like, where's she at? I'm accusing you,

854
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 4: I'm pointing a finger. Let's be honest, they were so good.

855
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 5: I went to their Yelp page to see why, and

856
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 5: people were leaving reviews after the closed announcement, saying, we're

857
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 5: so sad to see this place. Oh, they were such

858
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 5: a wonderful. Do you know treat in neighborhood?

859
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 4: I mean seriously, like it's like leaving flowers at the grave.

860
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. I searched for them one line.

861
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 4: I we're just mold melding here. I've done the exact

862
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 4: same thing two days ago that I was like, there's

863
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 4: this Korean place I wanted to go to. I was like,

864
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 4: I'm gonna head out, and then I googled it just

865
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 4: in case. I saw bright red letters permanently close. So

866
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 4: I'm getting on Yelp. I'm looking the last two reviews

867
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 4: are mourning the loss of it. Yeah, horrible feeling. I

868
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 4: think I've probably I actually know for a fact there

869
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 4: was a taco place years ago that closed. I cried, Yeah,

870
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 4: first of all, literally cried, and then got in touch

871
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 4: with the owners, tried to figure out what was going on.

872
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

873
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 4: The thing that's going on is they don't have any money.

874
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yea very pretty simple.

875
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 4: I mean, they don't have a ghost or something. You know,

876
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, we just weren't doing enough business.

877
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

878
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then you're like, what does that say about

879
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 4: my taste that I'm going to the place that went

880
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 4: out of business?

881
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 5: I in this time, this climate, I just knew that

882
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 5: it was like they either have to charge ten dollars

883
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 5: for what they're doing or they have to figure out

884
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 5: another way. And I will admit I will pay seven

885
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 5: fifty for a macha.

886
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 3: I'm unwilling today to go up to ten dollars.

887
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 5: I walked into a place that had hot reviews and

888
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 5: I said, I'll do a strawberry macha, right. And I'm thinking,

889
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 5: like I'm finding a new place, of course, you know,

890
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 5: and she said she said something like ten seventy one,

891
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 5: and I did a double take.

892
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 3: I said, wait, I thought she charged me for a muffin.

893
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 4: You know, where's my Thanksgiving fees?

894
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

895
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 5: I said wait, wait, wait what what what are the charges?

896
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 5: And she was like, you want an almond milk right?

897
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 5: And I was like yeah, and she was like yeah,

898
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 5: it's this is the And I was like, oh, I'm

899
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 5: so sorry. Did you start making it? She was like no, no, no,

900
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 5: I said, I'm so sorry, I have a great day.

901
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 4: Good for you. Yeah, and felt bad for two weeks.

902
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 3: No, no, you have to stand up.

903
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 4: For yourself in these No. No, no ten dollars for

904
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 4: I mean, any non alcoholic beverage. It's we've entered a danger.

905
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

906
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,239

907
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 5: nowhere near the setup interesting of my guys.

908
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 4: Right, so she was ripping people off.

909
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were trying to provide a superb product and

910
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 5: a made to order product.

911
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 3: But that cost, it.

912
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 4: Really does, right, You've got to cut some corners, so

913
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 4: they corners cut.

914
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:29,280

00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:35,760

00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 4: have the car at like forty eight degrees, boiling hot beverage.

934
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,560

938
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 5: like it'll have to be. We'd have to be like

939
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 5: in the Middle East for like a bead of sweat

940
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 5: to come down my forehead.

941
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 4: You're remarkably dry looking, and I feel like I'm drenched. No,

942
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 4: you're dry really. Yeah, I feel like I like water

943
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 4: is running down my face. Okay, that's good. I do

944
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 4: feel cozy rather than hot.

945
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

946
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 4: I'm not to the like heat stroke the moment.

947
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 3: Yet I feel my hair swelling.

948
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 5: That's just you know, because I know that's gonna happen

949
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 5: mon fuzz yeah and curl.

950
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a terrible feeling. Yeah. I'm more of a

951
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 4: cold tea person. Okay, I wonder if I could turn

952
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 4: this into cold tea. You can. What do I do?

953
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 4: I I steep it and then put it in the fridge.

954
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, you want to steep it

955
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 3: hot and then put it in the.

956
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 4: Fridge, yeah, Or I wonder if there's like there's probably

957
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 4: enough in here to cold brew it.

958
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know how to cold brew.

959
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 4: I cold just moments before you got here, was doing

960
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 4: a whole It's called a cold brew Toddy. It's like

961
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 4: a plastic machine you fill up with coffee and leave overnight.

962
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 4: Next day you've got a week of cold brew. And yeah,

963
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 4: I think you can use it for tea.

964
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 3: Try it?

965
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 4: Maybe I will let me know. Yeah, I mean, I

966
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 4: wonder what how that affects. I think it just brings

967
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 4: out the flavor.

968
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 5: Maybe I don't so, because I know with's hot when

969
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 5: you when you steep hot tea, right, there's a certain

970
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 5: amount of time.

971
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 3: I didn't know that at first too. I would be

972
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 3: one of those people.

973
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 5: I'm just leaving a tea bag in there, you know,

974
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 5: I'm leaving a tea bag in there. Maybe I'm refilling

975
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 5: some water with the same tea, but you know, just

976
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 5: really disrespectful to tea.

977
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're desperate, you can use it twice, right, yeah, I.

978
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 5: Mean, I mean they gave you fifty two tea bags

979
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 5: for twin.

980
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 4: What if you're in a bunker. I guess you want

981
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:09,959
Speaker 4: to have a quiet moment of tea.

982
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 3: Do you know that?

983
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 5: Like when we have like peppermint or chat whatever. You know,

984
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 5: it's not actually tea Like in America we call it tea,

985
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 5: but the like there's only two teas that come from tea.

986
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 3: It's a tea leaf. That's what the leaf is called.

987
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 3: It's a tea leaf.

988
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 4: I had no idea. Actually, that's fascinating.

989
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 3: That belief.

990
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, and then the rest of this is just

991
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 4: like pot pourri.

992
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 5: It's like what it like, it's mint a tea. Mint

993
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 5: is not a tea. Mint is mint. It's a mint leaf,

994
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 5: but it's not a tea.

995
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 3: Leaf, right, Yeah, so.

996
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 4: It's like a combo.

997
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think there's like a black tea leaf.

998
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 4: Right, maybe is that the only tea?

999
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 3: I think? Maybe?

1000
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 4: On a leash, any idea. I would love to know

1001
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 4: this because it's a fascinating fact.

1002
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1003
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 4: I've been lied to. The helicopters circling. Everyone's finding out

1004
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 4: three helicopters, four or five? Oh my god, that's crazy.

1005
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 4: Why do we need five helicopters?

1006
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is somewhat.

1007
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 4: Wow, the president may have just passed over. I said,

1008
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 4: no gifts, Joe reach out, Jill reach out. Wow, that

1009
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 4: was the most helicopters I've maybe ever seen together.

1010
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is.

1011
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 6: The correct answer, but what I've found was, while there's

1012
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 6: literally thousands of teas, it can be they can all

1013
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 6: be broken down into six main types. But I don't

1014
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 6: I'm not seeing the specific.

1015
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 3: Tea like the leaf names. I'm just seeing like black

1016
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 3: and green.

1017
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 4: I think we just assume that there's a black leaf

1018
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 4: and a green leaf, and the rest were putting spices.

1019
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, the rest are exactly that spices, right, fruits.

1020
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 4: And right, because I feel like there are I mean,

1021
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 4: there's well, actually, I mean I was about to say

1022
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 4: some statement about tea that simply wouldn't have been true.

1023
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 5: I don't know anything, and then then we started saying

1024
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 5: tea because where do they drink a lot of tea?

1025
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 5: Like maybe not where do they drink not like London

1026
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 5: or something, not like your but there was a certain

1027
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 5: that tea is, like that's what they originate of tea. Well,

1028
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 5: they would call this hot drink that they were drinking

1029
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 5: in that language, they would call it.

1030
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 3: Or something like that and so then you know, passed down.

1031
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, then we just started calling these hot beverages that

1032
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 5: we drank tea.

1033
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 4: Wow, but it's yeah wow. I'm curious on at least

1034
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 4: you know the where tea originated. This is an educational

1035
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 4: podcasts and foremost we need to walk away with knowledge.

1036
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 6: It is probable that the tea plant originated in regions

1037
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 6: around southwest China, Tibt in northern India.

1038
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 4: There we go. We've just learned. Our minds are just

1039
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 4: so powerful and increasing every day.

1040
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 5: But isn't it interesting when when you think of tea,

1041
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 5: what country do you think of?

1042
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 3: First?

1043
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 4: I think of India? Okay, what do you think?

1044
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 3: I think? I probably think of like the Brits.

1045
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 4: Oh, England? Right, yeah, yeah, that's interesting. I mean I

1046
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 4: guess I think the India thing is two things. It's

1047
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 4: the colonization, the British people are there, and the origin.

1048
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 3: Yes.

1049
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 4: Interesting.

1050
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 5: I make my chi lattes at home and I posted

1051
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 5: one like on social media and I was like, I mean,

1052
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 5: I'm really getting so good at this. I was like,

1053
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 5: my ChIL lattes are like the best. And this Indian

1054
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 5: woman DMed me and she.

1055
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 3: Was like, it's just a chai. Wow. I was like,

1056
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 3: but doesn't latte mean?

1057
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 5: She was like, a chai means specific spices and milk.

1058
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 4: Oh interesting, So like what I think of as a

1059
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 4: chai tea is not a chi. Yeah, she mads the milk.

1060
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1061
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 5: She's like, if you're saying chai latte, you're just saying

1062
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 5: like chai chai.

1063
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 4: Wow. There's a lot of misinformation out there, I.

1064
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 3: Said, because you know how, sometimes you just don't want

1065
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 3: to be wrong.

1066
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 4: Oh, I love this, continued, I'm.

1067
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 5: Willing to be like a little bit wrong, right, but

1068
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 5: like one hundred percent wrong.

1069
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 3: That's asking for a lot, of course.

1070
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 5: So I was like, well, wait, doesn't latte mean steamed milk?

1071
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 5: I was like, I would be pretty pissed if I

1072
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 5: went into a store and asked for a chie and

1073
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 5: they gave me a chie with just some cold.

1074
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 4: Milk poort right.

1075
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 5: And she was like, oh, yeah, I guess you have

1076
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 5: a point. I guess in America it's and I was like, yeah,

1077
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 5: just give me a little.

1078
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 4: Two people absolutely refusing to back down from their positions.

1079
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 3: You came and watched my story. Just give me a little.

1080
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was your writing so high on this moment.

1081
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 3: Then I felt so bad.

1082
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 5: I researched it a bit and then I was like,

1083
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 5: I guess us Americans.

1084
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 4: So to be clear, a chi is a chai tea

1085
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 4: with any type of milk in it.

1086
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how they serve Yeah, it's just like milk.

1087
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 5: It's like, that's how they drink it. It's it's these spices, right,

1088
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 5: steeped in water and then with milk added into it.

1089
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 5: That is the way chai is made. So that is

1090
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 5: the way they drink chi.

1091
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 4: Right. So you take this information to a coffee shop

1092
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 4: and you get to explain something to a barista and yes,

1093
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 4: that's a I'm sure they'll love it. Yeah, they'll adore

1094
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 4: every moment of that.

1095
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 5: They will talk about me. They'll go live as soon

1096
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 5: as their shift is done.

1097
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 4: You believe this asshole.

1098
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,359
Speaker 5: She kept back and asking for a chai and I

1099
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 5: was like a chi lat and she just kept saying chi.

1100
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 5: And I was like, chai latte or chai and she

1101
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 5: was like, there's only chai.

1102
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 4: Next thing, I know, she's pulling out an encyclopedia.

1103
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 5: So I give her this tea bag steep than hot water,

1104
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 5: and now she wants to speak to a manager.

1105
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 3: I can't do this.

1106
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 4: Just terrorizing every coffee shop in America. Well, I'm I'm

1107
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 4: very excited about both of these teas. Have you tried

1108
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 4: either of them?

1109
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 3: I've tried them. The Rock and Moroccan.

1110
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 4: All right, let me see if it tells me what flavor.

1111
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 3: It should be? Green? Is it not green tea? And

1112
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 3: Marigal my favorite.

1113
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 4: I love the sound of this and it says I

1114
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 4: can put it over ice so I can do whatever

1115
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 4: I want.

1116
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 3: Nice.

1117
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 4: And then the simply irresistible is Marigold and Egyptian mint

1118
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 4: and love love. So the other one didn't have love,

1119
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 4: so that actually it does say love, so they were

1120
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 4: both created with love. You got to know that Marigold

1121
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 4: and Egyptian mint.

1122
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 5: You know, whenever they put a country before something, it's like, oh,

1123
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 5: this is mint, but this is Egyptian mint.

1124
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 3: You're like, what's Egyptian?

1125
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 4: Man? You're going to have a weird experience.

1126
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 3: Is it meant with like heavy eyeline?

1127
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 4: I know you never know, you never know.

1128
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry Egypt.

1129
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 4: Now I'm not going to be able to have a

1130
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 4: live show in Cairo. Cancel the dates, cancel the dates.

1131
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 4: Very interesting. Yeah, I recently did have Moroccan pepper and

1132
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 4: it was intense. I liked it, but it was it

1133
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 4: was a learning curve. There was a moment where I

1134
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 4: was like, I don't like this, and then I learned.

1135
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, it's just different, and now I

1136
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 4: kind of love it. Yeah, you just have to let

1137
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 4: it hurt you for a minute. Yeah, Okay, Well we've

1138
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 4: got to play a game. Okay, We're gonna play Gift

1140
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 4: I'm trying to go back and forth, and I'm you know,

1141
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 4: I don't want to brag, but I've become kind of

00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 4: a professional podcast host at this point. I can remember

1163
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 4: somebody there taking it from me.

1164
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,799

1165
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:04,919
Speaker 5: so popular around the world.

1166

Speaker 4: Oh interesting, so somebody else is always taking it.

1167
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 5: It's not I got it. I got it in most places.

1168
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 5: First TikTok for some reason.

1169
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 4: They another probably benefiting.

1170
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 3: Z ain't Johnson specifically.

1171
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 4: You should reach out to her. Okay, this is how

1172
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 4: we're going to play gift to a curse. I'm going

1173
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 4: to name three things. You're going to tell me if

1174
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 4: there're a gift or a curse and why, then I'll

1175
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 4: tell you if you're right or wrong, because they're correct.

1176
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 4: Answers number one, there are correct, there are watch out

1177
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 4: number one. This is from a listener named Peter Peter

1178
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 4: suggested gift her a curse escalators.

1179
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:53,439
Speaker 3: Ooh, escalators can be a curse for some people. I've

1180
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 3: seen it. I have seen the tumble, I have seen the.

1181
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 5: Little baby's foot gets, I have seen tragic stories. But

1182
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 5: the escalator overall is a gift.

1183
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 4: It is a gift wrong. They are simply a curse.

1184
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 4: I've been afraid of them since I was I mean

1185
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 4: it was a major childhood fear. First of all, I thought,

1186
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 4: I definitely thought one of my fingers was going in there.

1187
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 4: I thought a shoelace was going in there. I was

1188
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 4: getting sucked into the department store. So you know, they

1189
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:30,479
Speaker 4: haunted me for so long. And now I love a staircase. Okay, look,

1190
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 4: if you don't want to move, get in the elevator.

1191
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 4: If you want stairs, take the stairs. Yeah, I love

1192
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 4: a nice set of stairs to run up or run down.

1193
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 4: Escalators also bring out one of my least favorite behaviors

1194
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 4: in everyone, which is the standing side by side on

1195
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 4: a moving object that should be able to the option

1196
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 4: should be to climb.

1197
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes.

1198
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 4: And when an escalator stops, when it's out of order

1199
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 4: and you have to walk up that.

1200
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 3: Thing, Yeah, it seems like something isn't right.

1201
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, Top five most disort reenting feelings. Yes, you're sick

1202
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 4: to your stomach by the top.

1203
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 5: Yes are so these are the right or wrong of

1204
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 5: it is based is solely based on you. No, no,

1205
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 5: no truths okay, because when you said there are in

1206
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 5: fact correct answers, I just knew, like Wikipedia said so

1207
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 5: or something.

1208
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 4: Okay, so you failed that one.

1209
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 3: Well wait, wait, there's no way. So you know how

1210
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 3: there's a lot of people.

1211
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 5: There's there's people on like each side of the spectrum,

1212
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 5: but most people are in the middle. I feel like

1213
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 5: that's who the escalator is for, right, because I am

1214
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 5: like you, I too use a stare, right. I feel like, yeah,

1215
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 5: as long as I can use this stare, I will

1216
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 5: use this stare.

1217
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 3: Right.

1218
00:57:55,120 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 5: But then there's so many people who just don't have

1219
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 5: have that confidence.

1220
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 3: In their knees right in their hips, you know.

1221
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:09,479
Speaker 5: And we live in a place that that of course

1222
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 5: has multi levels all the time.

1223
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 4: Rightly, what are we talking about, Ella, It is not

1224
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 4: that much, but not even.

1225
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 5: I'm talking about when you're at an airport, when you're at

1226
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 5: a department store, like you said, when you're at a

1227
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 5: mall right, and elevators can be extremely unreliable, but they

1228
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 5: are so slow they have a capacity that is often

1229
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 5: reached very easily.

1230
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:34,919
Speaker 3: You know, you gotta wait.

1231
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 5: Like if we were reliant today just on elevators and stairs,

1232
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 5: we would have a lot of one level ass places.

1233
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 4: Beautiful. Okay, it looks and we've got we get to

1234
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 4: look at the beautiful sky. There's never anything blocking are you?

1235
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 4: Manhattan is completely completely flat? Imagine a flat Manhattan now

1236
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 4: that would be fascinating for look good or horrifying, probably

1237
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 4: horror horrifying. But I mean, I'm not giving you the points. Okay,

1238
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 4: but you've got two more opportunities, so and I believe

1239
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 4: in you.

1240
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 3: Okay.

1241
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 4: Number two gift or a curse And this is from

1242
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 4: someone named Katie. Cancelation fees when you cancel or miss

1243
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 4: an appointment last minute.

1244
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 3: What's last minute?

1245
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 4: Katie didn't say whatever last minute is to you.

1246
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 3: For me personally, they're a curse.

1247
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 5: However, if you did not put in a cancelation fees,

1248
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 5: humans are disrespectful. Okay, your business will never get off

1249
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 5: the ground. If you do not put in cancelation fees.

1250
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 5: People will occupy your time and then not show up

1251
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 5: last minute. Every single day if there is no consequence.

1252
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,479
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just the I mean there's no way,

1253
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 5: there's no way an entrepreneur can make it.

1254
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:02,959
Speaker 3: If there's just no way.

1255
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 4: But for you, curse, it's a curse. You got the point.

1256
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 4: I hate them. This is what I agree, of course

1257
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 4: with everything you're saying, but I think you should get

1258
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 4: one freebie with the business. Yeah, the first time you cancel,

1259
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 4: they don't charge you. If you set up another appointment

1260
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 4: and you canceled, then you get charged three times as much.

1261
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 4: Then it's a real high stake situation. But you get

1262
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 4: the most people. You know, a last minute thing doesn't

1263
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 4: happen all the time. Yeah, so that you know, you

1264
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 4: get the one little thing and then you know you

1265
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 4: have to be careful from then on out.

1266
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1267
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 4: But the first time, give give me a break, Yes, happen. Yeah,

1268
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 4: I got sick. Yeah, my family parish. Yeah, you know

1269
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 4: I have to cancel the massage.

1270
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1271
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 4: So there are curse. Yeah, And I'm proud of you for,

1272
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 4: you know, despite having all of this evidence for businesses,

1273
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 4: you stood by what you felt.

1274
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 5: I also find that a business it's really thriving, that's

1275
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 5: really sought after they actually don't do a cancelation fee

1276
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 5: because there's always somebody their weight.

1277
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 3: They have a weight list of people.

1278
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 5: Just but but the businesses that are that maybe not

1279
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 5: so are really trying to build or really trying, or

1280
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 5: maybe they're just petty. They they have those those cancelation

1281
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 5: fees because they they're dependent on you showing up.

1282
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think maybe the system just needs to be rethought.

1283
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 4: If you're a regular customer, you should get one free.

1284
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1285
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 4: Then they're like they come all the time, give them

1286
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 4: a break.

1287
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 3: I mean, here's the reality.

1288
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 5: Someone can always say, let me see what I can

1289
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 5: do those words.

1290
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 3: It's so easy.

1291
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 5: So like you know, just go in your computer, your

1292
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 5: you you handle the system.

1293
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so easy to negate this.

1294
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, number three Okay, so you've gotten one out

1295
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 4: of two and this is you got to bring it home.

1296
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 4: Here from a listener named logan gift your a waiting

1297
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 4: to start eating when out at a restaurant until everyone

1298
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 4: gets their meal, even though the person missing an entree

1299
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 4: is insisting everyone else can start eating.

1300
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 5: Okay, So the question is is waiting a gift or

1301
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 5: a curse?

1302
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the particular situation, I guess is Let's assume Analise,

1303
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 4: you and I are out to dinner. You and I

1304
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,919
Speaker 4: have both gotten our food. Annalise ordered a crazy thing

1305
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 4: and it's taking a little bit longer. But Honalise is like,

1306
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 4: please reseat, and we don't a curse, okay, And.

1307
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 3: Why first of all, did I order hot food? Okay?

1308
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 5: You want me to eat lukewarm food because you know

1309
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 5: you decided to get the lasignon This says it on

1310
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 5: the menu.

1311
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 3: The LASIGNA is going to take forty five minutes to come.

1312
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 5: You got to put that order in before you get there,

1313
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Like, I was actually at

1314
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 5: a restaurant the other night, dare I say, maybe it

1315
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 5: was a date and my food came out first. It

1316
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 5: came out surprisingly fast, and it was piping hot, Like

1317
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 5: I saw this theme coming off, and I'm like, gott it.

1318
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 5: I mean, I gotta taste this. And the guy was

1319
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 5: like he was being funny, but he was like thanks

1320
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 5: for waiting, oh, And I was like, oh, but I

1321
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 5: never stopped. I was like a and I just kept

1322
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 5: eating and he's like, no, no, no, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

1323
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 3: I'm kidding.

1324
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 5: But I think that when food comes, you should be

1325
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 5: able to eat the food, right, Yeah, I don't think

1326
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 5: you should have to wait, especially if the person is insisting, like, no,

1327
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 5: please eat, It's like, come on, what are you waiting for?

1328
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 4: Who is this for? Of course you're right, and there should.

1329
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 4: I mean, if one comes out and everybody hasn't gotten

1330
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 4: their thing, maybe let's wait two to three minutes. Yes,

1331
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 4: I don't know. If it starts to feel like it's

1332
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 4: taking too long and people are insisting that you eat

1333
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 4: and you don't, now you're creating a situation that no

1334
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 4: one knows how to handle. Yes, we're all like, what's happening?

1335
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 4: We want the person we're watching their food get cold

1336
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 4: and there. Why are they trying to be polite? It

1337
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 4: makes no sense. Yeah, I really think the whole rules

1338
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 4: should probably just be kind of forgotten.

1339
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.

1340
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 4: I mean, of course you wait a minute, Yeah, wait

1341
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 4: a couple minutes. You don't dive right in unless it's

1342
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 4: piping hot in the steam and you want a little bite.

1343
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 4: But for the most part, we're all adults. We know

1344
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 4: that restaurants, the things are coming out at random times,

1345
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 4: and food needs to be served, eating at the temperature

1346
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 4: it's served it.

1347
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 5: It has to be eating at the temperature is served at.

1348
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 5: And I think that if we if we reversed it,

1349
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 5: if we thought about it like dessert, Like no one

1350
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 5: would ever expect for ice cream, like somebody's you know,

1351
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 5: ice cream to come out and it's like, oh wait,

1352
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 5: because it's like we have a clear indication, yeah, that

1353
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 5: this thing is gonna melt. But I think people are

1354
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 5: more comfortable with eating something that was once hot and

1355
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 5: not hot anymore. But it's something that starts out cold

1356
01:04:58,480 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 5: and now it's just melted in.

1357
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 2: You know.

1358
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a better People are more willing to settle

1359
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 4: if it got cold. Yes, yeah, but you shouldn't have to. Yeah,

1360
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 4: that's why we're at a restaurant to have a good time. Yeah, okay,

1361
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:12,439
Speaker 4: you got two out of three. Yeah, not bad.

1362
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 3: I feel like a winner.

1363
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 4: I mean, the escalator thing, you're just bombed, unfortunately, but

1364
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 4: I'm glad to see you turn it around in such

1365
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 4: a big way. This is the final segment of the podcast.

1366
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 4: It's called they Said No Emails, people write into I

1367
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:31,000

01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 4: and you know, I like to give back to the community,

1369
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 4: so I'm answering the questions, I'm helping, I'm doing whatever

1370
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,479
Speaker 4: I can, and I'm going to force you to help me. Okay,

1371
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 4: is that okay?

1372
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1373
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 4: Okay, This says hello bridger and disrespectful but redeemed and

1374
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 4: esteemed guest.

1375
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 3: Oh that's yeah, incredible they know.

1376
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 4: They knew as someone who accepts gifts on a podcast,

1377
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 4: how have you trained yourself to stay composed and accept

1378
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 4: gifts so gratefully. I am quite a shy person and

1379
01:05:56,440 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 4: find being center of attention whilst accepting a gift quite overwhelming.

1380
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 4: My family think I'm quite quirky, so that paired with

1381
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 4: eccentric family members that give me totally off the wall

1382
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,919
Speaker 4: and dare I say, undesirable gifts, it can be quite

1383
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 4: difficult to disguise my surprise and dislike we're not done.

1384
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 4: I'm very fortunate to have such giving family members, and

1385
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 4: of course I adore them, but they're incredibly strong personalities,

1386
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 4: so any birthday event really put you on the spot.

1387
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 4: A good example of this happening in the past was

1388
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 4: my aunt hyping up the gift she was going to

1389
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 4: give me for a month in advance. She was incredibly excited,

1390
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 4: and on the day I was pasted a big cardboard

1391
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 4: box with twelve family members staring back at me. I

1392
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 4: opened it to find a polystyrene head painted and styled

1393
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 4: to look just like me, wig glasses and everything. I

1394
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 4: struggled to disguise my shock and horror and felt like

1395
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 4: Brad Pittens seven. I was so embarrassed that I turned

1396
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 4: beetroot red, and the family bombarded me with so many

1397
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 4: questions about it that I couldn't just politely accept it

1398
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 4: and felt forced to admit I didn't like the polystyrene

1399
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 4: head sat in the middle of the table. Eventually, I

1400
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 4: was reduced to tears as I just wanted to make

1401
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:05,919
Speaker 4: my aunt happy and didn't want to make a big

1402
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 4: thing about it. I understand this is a loaded question

1403
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 4: that involves grace and decorum and how to navigate friends

1404
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 4: and families, but I hope you can help. If not,

1405
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 4: it makes for a gift horror story for your listeners

1406
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 4: at least, I hope you both have a wonderful week,

1407
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 4: and thank you for such a wonderful podcast. You're so welcome.

1408
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 4: Warmest regards, Alice in England. I love when people put

1409
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 4: where they're from, you know, it just really tells us

1410
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 4: who we're talking to this. I've just read you a book. Yeah,

1411
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 4: and now we've got to look at it critically. It

1412
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 4: seems like Alice gets a bunch of horrible gifts. This

1413
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 4: family is bad at giving gifts, and she has kind

1414
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 4: of led them on because it sounds like the system

1415
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 4: does not stop and it's kind of maybe peaked at

1416
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 4: this terrifying hit in a box. What does she do?

1417
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 4: What is the question forgotten?

1418
01:07:58,720 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 3: I think it was twofold.

1419
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 5: I think she is a person that has anxiety around

1420
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 5: just receiving gifts because she said that she is not used,

1421
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 5: she is not used to or doesn't really handle being

1422
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 5: the center of attention.

1423
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:12,919
Speaker 2: Right.

1424
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 3: But then on.

1425
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 5: Top of that anxiety, she is a part of a

1426
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 5: family unit that is eccentric, and so not only do

1427
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 5: they shower her with gifts, but they are gifts that

1428
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 5: she doesn't necessarily want.

1429
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 4: Or like beautifully summed up. Okay, well, first of all,

1430
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 4: how to get a gift with grace? You're born with it,

1431
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 4: That's all I can say that. It's not something you learn, Yeah,

1432
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 4: it's something deep inside you.

1433
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1434
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 4: Otherwise you're kind of like an animal. The rest of

1435
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 4: society is animals, but the select few of us who

1436
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 4: are graceful. I assume you're good with accepting a gift.

1437
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean said right. I'm not gonna say I

1438
01:08:58,280 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 3: ain't got no grace.

1439
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 5: I will say that I am not a person that

1440
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 5: enjoys being gifted things. But I will probably say it's

1441
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 5: because I don't know. I just you leave a lot

1442
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 5: up to a person to get give you a gift,

1443
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,680
Speaker 5: you know, like most times, which is I think it's

1444
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,640
Speaker 5: amazing with you because every week someone shows up and

1445
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 5: gives you something, and I imagine that it's mostly things

1446
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 5: you don't want or need.

1447
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 3: You know, you have to say it. I say it

1448
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 3: for I'm sure.

1449
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 4: Avocate for me.

1450
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, we should start an Etsy shop, you know, of

1451
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 5: all the things that you need to.

1452
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 4: Get rid of, you know.

1453
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 5: But I do know how to keep a poker face,

1454
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 5: and I do exist in gratitude most times, so I

1455
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 5: know how to be gracious and just say, oh, thank

1456
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 5: you so much, you know, for this thing, whether I

1457
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 5: love it or don't love it, thank you so much.

1458
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 5: But okay, so that's one thing, right, that's just like

1459
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 5: get used to it if you're not born with it,

1460
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 5: you know, as Bridges said, get used to it. Get

1461
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 5: used to people trying to do something.

1462
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 3: Nice for you. Sure right, just get used to it,

1463
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 3: you know.

1464
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 5: I think that's like an esteem thing too. You don't

1465
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 5: think you deserve nothing.

1466
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 3: There's people out in the world to think they deserve everything.

1467
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 4: I'm watching their careers, Skye.

1468
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 3: I'm saying, so you.

1469
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 5: Gotta think that you are deserving of at least the

1470
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 5: thought that someone would want to give you something. I

1471
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 5: think that it really that anxiety is rooted in like

1472
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 5: your self worth.

1473
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 4: Interesting. I feel like like you've really gotten to the

1474
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 4: root of alice. It's a nice title for something, the.

1475
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:51,839
Speaker 3: Root of Alice in London.

1476
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 5: But now, then the the second part of this is

1477
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,640
Speaker 5: being a part of a family who never gives you

1478
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 5: gifts that you like. And I think that that also

1479
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 5: is rooted in the same thing, because you're self worth

1480
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 5: and self love. When you kind of tackle that and

1481
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,879
Speaker 5: your self esteem, then you'll speak up.

1482
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 4: And let people know what you will say.

1483
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:23,440
Speaker 3: Listen, and you've used a lot of energy this past month.

1484
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:31,560
Speaker 5: To hype up yes, something that really I don't fancy.

1485
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 5: Let's use this as a learning lesson. It's something we

1486
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 5: should not do in the future. With love and respect

1487
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,720
Speaker 5: and grace. Thank you, but no thank you.

1488
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 4: There's nothing more in the world that I want to

1489
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 4: do than open a gift and while holding it, say,

1490
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 4: let's look at this as a learning lesson. Can you

1491
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:00,160
Speaker 4: imagine the power you would.

1492
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, people don't listen.

1493
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 5: I've gotten bad gifts from people, and then when they

1494
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 5: in the feud, and you know, after that, I'm like, Oh,

1495
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 5: you don't have to give me anything. Oh no, no, no,

1496
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 5: don't you know what I'm saying? Oh do you want me?

1497
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 5: I'm gonna stop by? Do you want me to bring

1498
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,640
Speaker 5: you over something? I know what you're gonna bring is

1499
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 5: never something I want her? E Oh no, no, no,

1500
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 5: I got everything on no no.

1501
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 3: You know when you go really deep into like a Barretts,

1502
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 3: So it's like.

1503
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 5: No, no, no, please, and they don't get it.

1504
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 4: They'll never get us.

1505
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 3: They still show up with you know, allive. I don't know.

1506
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 4: Look, it's happened to me probably one hundred and eighty

1507
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 4: five times on this podcast, so I know where you're

1508
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 4: coming from here. I feel like we answered Alice's question. Well,

1509
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 4: I feel like you answered it. I kind of just

1510
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,720
Speaker 4: leaned back and sipped my drink, which felt incredible, nailed it.

1511
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm gonna tell Alice to get a hold

1512
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 4: of herself. Yeah, crying over the gift. The hysterics have

1513
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 4: got to stop, Alice. Yeah, I mean you're ruining everyone

1514
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 4: whatever event that was. Yeah, let's let's try to get

1515
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 4: a grip.

1516
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1517
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 4: Okay again, you answered it perfectly. I got to watch

1518
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 4: you just kind of.

1519
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 3: But it's but it's your addition is like it's great.

1520
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 5: It's like, come on, Alice, come on, Alice, forget about them.

1521
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 5: This is actually about you.

1522
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, a thousand. You know this family isn't to blame.

1523
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,679
Speaker 3: You, No, they they I mean, you know, we'll tackle

1524
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 3: them another time.

1525
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 4: They're each gonna write an individually, probably send a head

1526
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 4: to the podcast. Who knows what they're capable of, their

1527
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 4: sick people. Okay, I'm so glad you have gotten a

1528
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 4: gift that I can use.

1529
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 3: You know what, I just realized what this is open?

1530
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 4: It's open, it's open, It's I trust you.

1531
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, did I grab the open one.

1532
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 4: I cannot wait for this to be used in court.

1533
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 4: My family crying behind you.

1534
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 3: Call this episode tacky, get.

1535
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 4: But it's open but not you, and it's completely or

1536
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 4: you taste it and you were like, oh my god,

1537
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 4: I've got to get rid of this.

1538
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 3: I'm like, how did that happen?

1539
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 4: Interesting? Let's hope you're the one that opened it. That's

1540
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 4: all I'm saying. If this was open to the factory

1541
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 4: and I'm a victim of the tea killer, mmmm, that

1542
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 4: would be a way to go. I'm fine with that.

1543
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 3: I have so many of them.

1544
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 4: Let this be a sign that you're out of control.

1545
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 4: You've got to get a handle of yourself. Use the

1546
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 4: tea you've got before you order more.

1547
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 3: Coming to Bridge's et Sea shop and Caliba.

1548
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 4: Thank you, Calibash Teas. I will be drinking both. Okay,

1549
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 4: I've wonderful time with you. This is fantastic, this is great.

1550
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 4: We're covered in sweat. Let's be honest. My shirt is

1551
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 4: gonna have to be changed. But I'm happy you came, thrilled,

1552
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 4: happy to be here.

1553
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:53,640
Speaker 3: This is wonderful.

1554
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 4: Listener. The podcast is over. It's going to be very

1555
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 4: quiet soon, so you've got to figure out what happens next.
