0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 4>just went and got coffee. On the way back, I noticed, well,

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 4>it was probably ten pounds of tuna fish a can,

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 4>just splattered all across the road. If you hurry, you

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 4>could probably it'll probably be fine. You could get it.

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 4>It's on Townsend Avenue, right before the Christian coffee shop,

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 4>so be on the lookout. But hurry. You know, tuna

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 4>can only last so long. Who cares. Let's talk to

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.080

<v Speaker 4>Oh, of course, of course, it's this is what I'm

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.039
<v Speaker 4>gonna say right off the bat, Okay, I'm out of

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 4>summer outfits. Okay, it's October when we're recording this. It's

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 4>ninety degrees. Yes, I've been wearing summer outfits since who

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 4>knows when. At this point, I'm ready to wear a

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 4>long sleeve shirt. Yeah, how are you feeling? You look

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 4>very summary, Thank you.

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 5>And I am tired of wearing summer outfits as well.

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm a New Yorker.

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 5>Oh, and so I jump at the opportunity to put

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.279
<v Speaker 5>on a black turtleneck.

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh, that's just heaven for me.

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 5>And I was in I was doing a show the

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 5>other day in San Francisco, and I was able to

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:16.239
<v Speaker 5>break out the black turtle.

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 5>So you know, today is an unusually like an unusually unusual.

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 4>I think I liked unusually believe. I think we should

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 4>we need to put that in the lexicon. Actually, that

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 4>rolls right off the tongue.

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 3>Unusual ably unusually warm day.

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 4>It's uh, it's the sort of warm where you just

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.959
<v Speaker 4>feel like you feel like you can pass through. It's

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 4>like a physical The air is solid. Yeah, I feel

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 4>like I'm in a wall or something hiding in the attic.

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and last week it was nice.

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 3>It was nice.

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 4>Now it's horrible.

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it feels like dead of summer weather.

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 4>That's what it feels like about like July twenty ninth. Yes,

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 4>and it does a lot the brain. Yeah, it does

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 4>a lot to my brain at least. But I have

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 4>the windows open and my house feels perfectly fine.

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 3>Interesting, isn't that strange.

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 4>Because throughout the summer we have to have the windows sealed,

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 4>AC on. Yeah, my house is perfectly pleasant right now.

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 4>Or maybe I have just my standards of lowered.

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 5>You know, I was in an Uber when this is Sorry,

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 5>this might sound like a shift, but it's not. Because

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 5>I am the type of person that will have the

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 5>cooling air on as well as the windows open, because

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 5>I love fresh air, even if it's not moving. I

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 5>just want to know I have access to it, right,

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 5>But then I'll.

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Turn on like the AC or central cooling just to

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 3>cool things off.

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 5>Sure, And when I was in an Uber, I requested

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 5>that the AC stay on, but then I was like,

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna roll down the window and the Uber driver

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 5>got really upset with me, and I, you know, I

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 5>feel like the ride share relationship is reciprocal, you know,

0:03:59.160 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 5>it has to be.

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 5>So I was like, oh, unless is there something I

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 5>was trying to figure it out. I was like, is

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 5>this something wrong with your windows? Like well, you know,

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 5>like why don't you want me to have what I want?

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 5>And he was like, oh, you know that ruins your car?

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 4>Ruins?

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 3>And I was I know so little about cars.

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 5>I drive a Tesla and someone had to tell me

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 5>that I could access the radio.

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 4>Did you think that, like radio was just not part

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 4>of the futuristic pasta.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 5>I just thought that that was because I didn't see it.

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 5>It's it wasn't there and available to me. So when

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:46.159
<v Speaker 5>this the person was wildly disappointed in my ignorance, but he.

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 4>Like, you believed him in the moment that this could

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 4>ruin the car?

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I believed him and he kind of explained

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 3>to me.

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 5>He was like, something happened, like it won't ruin the car,

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 5>but it will ruin your cooling system because.

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh god, I don't know, there's no way. That's maybe

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 4>if you did it for two hundred years.

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and who has a car for two hundred years now?

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 6>He's full of Shit's got the notes? It says it's

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 6>not harmful to the car, just wasteful of fuel. So

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.799
<v Speaker 6>that sounds like, sounds like it's a hymn problem.

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 4>Yes, that's an old wives tale.

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it sounds like a frugal uber driver.

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 4>And we can't blame anybody. We're all trying to pinch

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 4>pennies where we can.

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 5>Sounds like I'm gonna have to go back and look

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 5>at my ride history and change that rating.

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 4>You are a vengeful person. Wow, So what ended up happening?

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.720
<v Speaker 4>You just got the AC That's all he put along.

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 5>I think I was pleasant enough for him to roll

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.159
<v Speaker 5>the window down a little bit for a little while,

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 5>and I think he kept checking with me. He was like,

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 5>it was a pretty long ride because I'm in New York.

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 5>There's traffic, okay. So after a few minutes he was like,

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 5>you still want it down, and maybe after about three

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 5>check ins, I'm like, okay, you know, you go roll

0:05:58.080 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 5>it up.

0:05:58.520 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 3>It's fine.

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 4>Three checks This is a lot. That's where you're like, oh,

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 4>you really hate this.

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, you know what, let me you you let

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.839
<v Speaker 5>me have what I wanted for fifteen minutes.

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:08.599
<v Speaker 3>I'll oblige you.

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 4>Maybe he's eco conscious.

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:12.600
<v Speaker 3>I think.

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm fighting for this guy now. I'm totally on his side.

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 5>But you know what, when you're getting like on and

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 5>off flights and things, all you want, like you you

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.799
<v Speaker 5>do want a comfortable temperature setting, but for some reason

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 5>you want air because when you're in an airpool and

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 5>you're in a flight, the air feels so artificial, it

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 5>feels so stale.

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes, you know, so you should be able to crack

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 4>the window whenever you want. Yeah, just a little bit

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.359
<v Speaker 4>of outside let it in. Everybody appreciates that. For a

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 4>minute you're on the freeway or something exactly. I mean,

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.719
<v Speaker 4>if you had your window roaring during the freeway, I

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 4>can see the real problem.

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 4>Do you know what I was wondering with my car

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 4>air conditioning recently, is you know the foot feature? You know,

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.799
<v Speaker 4>it's like you have feet or the face. The feet

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 4>thing never does anything for me. Do you have that?

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.799
<v Speaker 4>I why not just have it directly on my torso

0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 4>and face?

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 5>So the only time, okay, when I prefer the air

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 5>blowing towards my feet is when it's when I need

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 5>the heating.

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 3>It's something about just warm.

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 4>Toe's like it's like a head floor.

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm gonna get there, you know, like it's comforting

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 5>and you know, but when it's cold, when i'm when

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 5>it's cold air, the only time I move it from

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 5>my face is like if I just got my hair

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 5>done and it's so flowy that it can't really stand like.

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Much air pressure.

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 5>So it's like we're not trying to seem like we're

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 5>in a tornado, you know, Like, so I have to

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 5>like move it, although I don't want to.

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 4>Right, that makes sense As a short haired person, I

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 4>guess this just never crosses my mind. Yeah, yeah, it's

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 4>just the short hair privilege or something. Yeah, but yeah,

0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 4>the foot thing I'm wondering, are my legs not are

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 4>the nerves and some sort of nervous system problem?

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 5>What about do you have on pants or shorts? Because

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 5>I feel like you'd feel it immediately if you have

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 5>on shorts.

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 4>Feeling nothing, you're feeling feeling nothing, Or maybe my legs

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 4>just need to be really cold. Maybe yeah, maybe it's

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 4>an incredible question I'm asking.

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 5>So cold air is coming out towards your legs and feet,

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, wait a minute, investigative refers, and you're not

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 5>feeling anything.

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 4>As far as I know, or maybe it's mental. Maybe

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm just like the immediacy of it coming towards my

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 4>upper body is like, I don't know, Maybe I need

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 4>to do some testing. Yeah, do some real research with this. Yeah.

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 4>But cold air falls, so I feel like having it.

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 4>That's true, right, because hot rises.

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 3>You know, I don't know.

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 4>You're looking at me like I'm a complete moron. No.

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 5>When you said no, no, no, when you said cold

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 5>air falls, all I thought was, well, heat rises, that's

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 5>all good.

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 4>So you're confirming my scientific knowledge.

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 4>So I feel like it coming towards my body. It's

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.679
<v Speaker 4>like that's enough the waterfall. It's coming down to the feet.

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 4>But I am going to leave it on just my

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 4>feet for maybe an hour today. Well, I'm not gonna

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 4>be driving for an hour. Where am I going Palm springs? Uh?

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 4>My ten minute trip to the grocery store. No, Torso

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 4>simply the feet, the.

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Feet, and see if you feel it.

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 5>If you don't feel it, we gotta we gotta get

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 5>you to a.

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 4>Sort of doctor. Do I seek? Is that a physiologist?

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 4>Is that it orthopedic doctors?

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't say orthopedic because it's not bones or or muscle.

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:39.439
<v Speaker 5>It would be nerves.

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 4>It would be like spinal doctor.

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the nerve I'm looking.

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 4>Like yougis oh yeah, that's a good that's a good job. Yeah.

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 5>I like I still a neurologists and to see if

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 5>I had some nerve damage, and I it always feels

0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 5>much more thorough than any other doctors.

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 4>What do they do. I'm so curious. I've never been

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 4>to one.

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 5>It depends, but sometimes they can like attach sensors to

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 5>whatever part of your body that they're trying to test,

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.599
<v Speaker 5>and then they send the electro oh like kind of

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 5>like shots right right, if you know, if it's picking up.

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 5>I had years ago, I was in a I was

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 5>hit by a truck. I was gonna say I was

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 5>in a really bad car accident, but I wasn't in

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.839
<v Speaker 5>a car, but I while I was in a hospital,

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 5>the neurologists took needles, really long thin needles, and stuck

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 5>them in certain places and then sent the electro yeah

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 5>through those needles to see, like, you know what part

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 5>of my yeah yeah, yeah.

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah wow. And I assume you felt it in some places.

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 5>I did in some places. I felt it in a

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:54.079
<v Speaker 5>different place.

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 3>In my body.

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:55.199
<v Speaker 4>Fascinating.

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like he might have done it in like my hip,

0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 5>but then I felt it like near my shin.

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 4>That's almost like psychic.

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, somebody gives you no information.

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 5>Except that better be real comfortable in life when I

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 5>hit sixty two because it's gonna be hard.

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 4>That's enough for a psychic revelation. Yeah. Maybe I'll go

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.439
<v Speaker 4>to a neurologists just as a little experience at some point,

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 4>just waste a neurologists' time.

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I think they'll love it.

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.959
<v Speaker 5>I think if you go to a neurologist and say, listen,

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 5>I got the ac or my car blasting on my

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 5>legs at sixty one degrees for solid ten minutes and

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:39.439
<v Speaker 5>I feel nothing, the neurologist is going to say, I'm

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 5>happy you came in today.

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 4>Neurologists is the job. In middle school I told everyone

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 4>was going to because I was too ashamed to say

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.560
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to do whatever this is really and there's

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 4>no chance I was not on the path to neurology.

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 4>What are we talking about? I mean I was done

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 4>with science and math in eleventh grade. Yeah, I mean,

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 4>forget it. So people probably saw through it.

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but it it is inspiring, like when you hear

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 5>a little kid, it's like I want to be a

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.959
<v Speaker 5>because I mean neurologists. How many syllables is that? Even

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 5>just a word is ambitious to say, you know, I'm

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.319
<v Speaker 5>going to be a neurologist, just.

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:20.199
<v Speaker 4>Like luck baby.

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 5>If you believe in them, it's like that's really promising.

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.680
<v Speaker 5>And if you don't believe in them, it's so cute.

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 3>I's like they don't know.

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 4>Yet, right, It's like I'm gonna be a fairy princess

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 4>or something. What temperature are you keeping on in the car?

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna just keep talking about temperature because I feel

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:39.959
<v Speaker 4>like I'm bad with temperature.

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 3>I am.

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if I'm bad with temperature, but I

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 5>need to bring it to a balance. I'm a room

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 5>temperature type of person. Okay, so I'm only doing whatever

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.439
<v Speaker 5>is necessary to get it to room temperature. So if

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.720
<v Speaker 5>it's ninety degrees outside, then I got to turn on

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 5>cold air, and then the moment it gets too cold,

0:12:58.880 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 5>I gotta.

0:12:59.200 --> 0:12:59.679
<v Speaker 3>Shut it off.

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 4>But let's say, what cold are you going to?

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:05.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm sixty is the lowest that my car will.

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 4>Be, But you're going all the way to six.

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm going all the way to sixty because okay.

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 4>Oh, now I feel very strange.

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Wait, what kind of car do you drive?

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 4>I drive an electric Hyundai.

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So the thing about the Tesla is, you know,

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.959
<v Speaker 3>the top is all like glass.

0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 5>Oh, and so it takes on in the most disrespectful

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 5>way the temperature out the greenhouse it is, you know,

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.720
<v Speaker 5>and think, I think that it is the only downside

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 5>to that vehicle.

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 4>So far that it's like a very obvious flaw.

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 5>So it's yeah, and so you have to like the

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 5>car thinks that it's so smart that even if I

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.720
<v Speaker 5>try and put it on like seventy, it's like, no,

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 5>I need to I know, you think that's okay, but

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 5>I got to take care of myself.

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 3>So the car will try and regulate its.

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 4>Own temperature, right, you know, right, And so it's heading

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 4>down to six, so.

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 5>It goes down to sixty and then it does a

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 5>good job. It does it very fast. But then I

0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 5>get too cold.

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 4>M Oh, this is nice there for me. You don't

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.560
<v Speaker 4>get the flu or something.

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 5>No, because I have the windows down, you know, and

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 5>just thinking about my uba drive like just anxious, like.

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 3>He told me, this is terrible.

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 4>I should not have come to you with these questions.

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 4>It's mayhem with you. The temperatures are all over the place,

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 4>the windows are open, the sun is beating down. Yes,

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.800
<v Speaker 4>it's They should have like an umbrella for the Tesla.

0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 4>That feels like a good invention. Yeah, I mean umbrella

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 4>that sits on top of the car.

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 3>A nice a nice rainbow one.

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 4>I feel like people would get into that.

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 5>I would hate that.

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 4>You say it now, I'd appreciate.

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 3>Its function, but I'd hate the way it looks.

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 4>How about like one that matches the color of the car.

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 3>That makes sense.

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 5>So this is the thing, This is what the car

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 5>offers that I never take advantage of.

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 3>And this is not a commercial for Tesla. Forgive me.

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I don't know. I'm You're just winked at me.

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 3>Let's get a sponsor.

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 5>So you can, of course control the car from your

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 5>phone anywhere in the world.

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.240
<v Speaker 3>Right, Like if I.

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 5>Left my car here and then had to go away

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 5>and you were like, hey, Zaynab, I need to move

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 5>your car, I could just give you access through my

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 5>phone and then you just drive my car.

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 4>Really, Yeah, that's incredible.

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's wonderful. It's convenient.

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 4>That's incredibly convenient.

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 5>And so they have this function in the Tesla app

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 5>where you can cool off your car before you get in.

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 4>Right, I have this. I know I don't have a

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 4>fancy enough to let people just go driving whenever.

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Like, I can make you an authorized user and

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 5>all you would need is your phone.

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 4>You've got to let me be an authorized user.

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Just in case.

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 5>It's like I have I have a year from now,

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 5>I have roadside trouble and I'm like, Fridger, are you available?

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 4>I would be there in an instant. I wouldn't think

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:04.600
<v Speaker 4>for a second.

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Are your legs working?

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 4>I would be headed over. So just keep me in mind,

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:12.600
<v Speaker 4>That's all I'm going to say.

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 5>But I forget to do that until I get in

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 5>the car, and I'm like, why didn't Right, It's.

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 3>Ninety seven degrees in his car? Why didn't I do that?

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 4>Right? You should treat yourself every once in a while.

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 4>It's like having a little person there just waiting for

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 4>you with the cool air on, little ghosts or something

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 4>sounds so lovely.

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 5>Tiny angels with spray bottles and fans.

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 4>Now with that other feature, have you given that access

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 4>to anybody so that they can drive your car? Yes?

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 4>My sister, and has she taken advantage of it?

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 5>She's driven it, but she hasn't. I wouldn't say she's

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 5>taken advantage of it, Okay, okay, but but I will

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 5>say that she was driving it. When I returned home

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 5>from like a work trip.

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh interesting.

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 5>And when I when the uber dropped me off at

0:16:56.240 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 5>my house and my car wasn't in the driveway, I

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 5>did feel away.

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 3>Right, and I knew I wasn't going anywhere.

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.680
<v Speaker 5>This was like one of those trips work trips where

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 5>I was in five different states in five different days,

0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 5>and so I knew when I got home, I was

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 5>gonna postmate some food and then crash on a couch

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 5>for seventeen hours, right, right. But something about not seeing

0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.119
<v Speaker 5>my car there made me feel restricted.

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 4>It's unsettling. Yeah, you need to know you can go exactly,

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 4>it's all you need exactly. Yeah, now you're just trapped

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 4>at home. Yeah that seems bad to me.

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.640
<v Speaker 5>And so I texted my sister and I was like, hey,

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.720
<v Speaker 5>how long will you be? And she was like, oh,

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 5>did you have somewhere to go?

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:48.760
<v Speaker 3>And I was like no. She's like, okay, did you

0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.160
<v Speaker 3>need something? And I was like no.

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 4>But no, I totally get that feeling. My boyfriend is

0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 4>living in New York right now, so he got rid

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:01.879
<v Speaker 4>of his car, and so for like two days he

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.120
<v Speaker 4>needed to use my car. But there were times where

0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:05.879
<v Speaker 4>it's like, I just need you can't drive it for

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.439
<v Speaker 4>these hours. I'm not going anywhere, but what if I

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.520
<v Speaker 4>have an idea. Yeah, it's just the mere thought of

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 4>him being out gallivanting and I want to go to

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:15.679
<v Speaker 4>Target for no reason.

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 3>Target is my favorite place?

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:18.040
<v Speaker 4>Is it reasonly?

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:19.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I feel like it's the uh.

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.679
<v Speaker 5>I don't know about guys, but I feel like the lady,

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 5>the thirty five year old lady, Like that's how Disneyland like, Yo,

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:33.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm never bored. If Target is open, then I'm never bored.

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 5>I always got something. When the pandemic, everything's shut down,

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 5>maybe like a week or two weeks into it, when

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.720
<v Speaker 5>Targets sent out their email like hey, we have reduced hours,

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:46.120
<v Speaker 5>but we're opening up, I.

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.440
<v Speaker 3>Said, I got to go. I gotta go.

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 4>I am literally right there with you. I was in line.

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 4>I was ready to do some at least minor wandering.

0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 4>I had to just look at objects and feel kind

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 4>of normal.

0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, let me read these greeting cards, what's new

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.120
<v Speaker 5>in the Mahogany collection.

0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's a thing to do. It's a nice

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:11.360
<v Speaker 4>time killer.

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 5>It is, and it's it's always laid out, so, you know,

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't know where this came from.

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:19.960
<v Speaker 5>Again, I'm from New York City and we didn't grow

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.439
<v Speaker 5>up I didn't grow up with stores like this. It

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 5>took me moving to LA to have gone to a

0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 5>Walmart for the first time in my life, right, And

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:30.000
<v Speaker 5>so I don't know.

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.160
<v Speaker 3>Target is like, that's that's my chance.

0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 4>There's a novelty and a freedom, and you're just like

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.119
<v Speaker 4>the space. Yeah yeah, I mean, and the Targets in

0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 4>New York don't do this same thing.

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:41.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't even think I've ever been.

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 4>They're you know, they're like every big New York store.

0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.200
<v Speaker 4>They're not big. Yeah, it's not that like, oh I'm

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 4>in the middle of a field, but no, I'm actually

0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:50.120
<v Speaker 4>in the serial eye.

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's your close close quarters. Yeah.

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm a very I love Target. It's my museum.

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:59.280
<v Speaker 4>I like to just wander and look at things same frequently,

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:03.680
<v Speaker 4>don't buy anything, which I think is crossing a line. Yeah,

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:05.680
<v Speaker 4>but it's still a good time, Do you always leave

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:06.159
<v Speaker 4>with something?

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.560
<v Speaker 5>I would say yes, I think that if ever I

0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 5>have not left, I go in not thinking I need anything,

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.159
<v Speaker 5>you know, just waiting for something to jump out at me.

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to Target for inspiration.

0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.720
<v Speaker 5>But if I don't leave with something from Target, then

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 5>something's not right in the world, right, because you know,

0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.159
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, there's possibility.

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:36.040
<v Speaker 4>It means that kind of your anchor has failed you. Yeah,

0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.119
<v Speaker 4>and maybe your loss, maybe Target's lost.

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:40.719
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes I leave with things I know I'm going to return.

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I love that feeling, you know, like, yeah.

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to buy this breadmaker today because I was

0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 5>feeling ambitious.

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 3>But then tomorrow reality will set in.

0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:57.679
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes you just need to get it home now the

0:20:57.720 --> 0:20:59.680
<v Speaker 4>feeling is gone. Yeah, and I can take it back.

0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:01.199
<v Speaker 4>I understand that.

0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes it doesn't even come out in my car, and

0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 5>that's when I know, like, oh, you never planned on

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 5>using this.

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's a that's a mistake. That's just an absolute

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.359
<v Speaker 4>mistake to be driving around with something that you need

0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 4>to return. Yeah. I've had some T shirts in my

0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:17.239
<v Speaker 4>car for a week that have to go back. I

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.920
<v Speaker 4>can't bring myself to the Whole Foods to drop them off.

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 4>So it's just always in the back of my mind.

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 4>I've got to get rid of it. It's taking up

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:25.280
<v Speaker 4>brain energy.

0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:27.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know how, like, okay, this is the last

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 5>thing I'll say about. Sorry, there's how much I love try.

0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:33.440
<v Speaker 5>You know how target offers like they can just bring

0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 5>it out to your car, right, I never choose that

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.680
<v Speaker 5>app Okay, I was about to feel very betrayed.

0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Ever, I gotta go in.

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 5>What thank you? So I came all the way here

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 5>and did it? See my best friend?

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:55.440
<v Speaker 4>What? No? A thousand percent agree, there's no question I'm

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 4>going into the store. Yes. Actually, I wouldn't even like

0:21:58.320 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 4>if they had piled the things up for me to take.

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:01.719
<v Speaker 4>Wouldn't want that. I want to go on the journey.

0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 5>Yes, you just want to put it in my trunk.

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:05.159
<v Speaker 5>You don't want any interaction?

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no, where's the joy? No? I mean we

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:11.879
<v Speaker 4>have a very similar target mindset. It's shocking to me

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:13.439
<v Speaker 4>we've never run into each other at a target.

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Which targets do you go to?

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 4>If there's a target I see, I'll go in it.

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 4>But my local targets are the Eagle Rock, Glendale. Okay,

0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 4>Occasionally I'll get into the Alhambra or Pasadena. Okay, used

0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 4>to be the one on Los Sienaga. Do you know

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 4>this one which one moved to La. It's Loscienaga, near

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:34.639
<v Speaker 4>a giant seas candy factory.

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:36.359
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that's that's the target.

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 4>I go there, that's yours.

0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 3>That's my target. Now.

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.720
<v Speaker 5>I used to always go to cause that's like south,

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:43.760
<v Speaker 5>that's like I don't know, in.

0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:45.560
<v Speaker 3>Between here and airport right exactly.

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:48.920
<v Speaker 5>But when I lived in Hollywood, my target used to

0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.400
<v Speaker 5>be uh, Santa Monica and Librea.

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I don't like that one, Okay, No, I'm thinking, oh,

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.400
<v Speaker 4>it's fine, it's okay. No, I'm thinking about the one

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 4>on the West Hollywood that's in a nightmare zone. Who

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 4>knows that sees candy factory things?

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 4>When I first moved to LA, I applied for a

0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:12.760
<v Speaker 4>job working there. It's like their warehouse. Yeah, And I

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.239
<v Speaker 4>handed the application to a woman who's probably in her

0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 4>seventies and she said, can you lift a box over

0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 4>fifty pounds? And I said yes, and she just shook

0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 4>her head. I did not get the job. This is horrifying.

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:30.399
<v Speaker 4>And you know she's lifting all these boxes, so she's like,

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 4>no way, child. That will stick in my mind forever.

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:39.120
<v Speaker 5>But you know, I love that when someone knows us

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:42.840
<v Speaker 5>better than we know, like they know our reality. Way

0:23:42.880 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 5>back when when I first started doing stand up, I

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.280
<v Speaker 5>was like, okay, in order for me, like, I know,

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:50.159
<v Speaker 5>I'm not going to make enough money at first, so

0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 5>I need to work for an airline.

0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 3>That way, any comedian that wants me to like.

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:57.160
<v Speaker 5>Feature for them on the road, I'll have like a flight,

0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.160
<v Speaker 5>you know, like I won't have to pay for the fight.

0:23:59.320 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 5>So I go to Delta, I apply to be a

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 5>flight attendant, right, and because I'm like, I'm gonna work

0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 5>for the airline, but like I.

0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:08.119
<v Speaker 3>Want the glamorous.

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 5>Right. Of course, it's like it's too late to be

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 5>a pilot, so let me be a flight attendant, right.

0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 5>And they fly you to Atlanta, their hub, and they

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:23.360
<v Speaker 5>have this whole like flight attendant school. What in Atlanta?

0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:24.840
<v Speaker 5>They put you on a whole time, I mean everything,

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 5>they take care of it. This is like this is

0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:31.399
<v Speaker 5>like an old expense paid job interview, right, And you

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:33.439
<v Speaker 5>go through this training and then at some point you

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:35.639
<v Speaker 5>have to get up and make the announcements like the

0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, the emergency, you know you got to like

0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:40.800
<v Speaker 5>talk to and they don't tell you what to say.

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:44.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh, they don't give you a threat, you know.

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:52.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well that was my opportunity because well I was like, okay,

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:54.840
<v Speaker 5>I've been on enough planes to know what you have

0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:58.200
<v Speaker 5>to say. I was like, but I'm a comedian. I'm

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 5>a new comedian. Oh this is you know new comedians

0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 5>think every time you're but yeah, I'm like, ooh, I'm

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:08.360
<v Speaker 5>get the job, but you're gonna laugh today.

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:12.439
<v Speaker 3>Right after you do all of that, they give you

0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:13.160
<v Speaker 3>no critique.

0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 5>Like in the moment in front of your audience, they

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 5>bring you into the room one by one to let

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:19.679
<v Speaker 5>you know if you're going forward or if they're putting

0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:23.040
<v Speaker 5>you on a flight back home. Right, And this lovely woman,

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 5>she says, what are you doing? And I said, I'm

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 5>trying to be a flight attendant.

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 3>And she said, but what do you what do you do?

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Like what are you doing in life?

0:25:40.480 --> 0:25:43.239
<v Speaker 5>And I said, oh, well, I just started comedy and

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 5>I really love it. And you know, I'm a stand

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:51.359
<v Speaker 5>up comedian. But don't worry, Like when I'm on Delta's time,

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 5>I'll be on Delta's time, you know, like really trying to.

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:58.399
<v Speaker 3>Bring it home. And she said, listen, I want you

0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 3>to follow your dream. And I was like, okay, oh no.

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:08.439
<v Speaker 5>She said, yeah, I want you to leave here and

0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 5>I want you to follow your dream.

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 4>Your first fan. That's incredible.

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 5>And I was like a little bit pistol. I was like, lady,

0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 5>this is a part of me following my dream.

0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:18.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm kind of.

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:21.480
<v Speaker 4>I need free flights.

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:24.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but I got what she was saying, right of course,

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 5>like this could be a massive detour in your life, right, and.

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:34.200
<v Speaker 3>You need to be very direct on his pet. That's

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 3>how I took it.

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:36.600
<v Speaker 4>I know a lot of situations i'd be like, oh,

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 4>she's making an excuse because she doesn't want to hire you.

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:41.360
<v Speaker 4>But I feel like being a flight attendant takes over

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 4>your life. Yeah, you're like in every time zone, You're

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.119
<v Speaker 4>staying in different cities all the time. I think it

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:48.320
<v Speaker 4>may have ruined your life.

0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you know, people loving flight attendants, but I

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 4>don't think it was for you.

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't for me. I mean, clearly it wasn't for me.

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:57.640
<v Speaker 4>I'll also say in that moment, you should have lied.

0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 4>Job interviews are pureized yeah, yeah, don't be honest. Yeah,

0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 4>don't tell me you're on your way out.

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:07.240
<v Speaker 5>I think that she when she said it. I think,

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:12.119
<v Speaker 5>you know, some people you can lie to, strangers or

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.639
<v Speaker 5>people you've known your entire life, and then there people

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:19.959
<v Speaker 5>who you just cannot something about them, like you know,

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:24.200
<v Speaker 5>permeates your it makes you completely transparent, you know.

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:30.639
<v Speaker 4>Right, people say that about me. Really no, but this woman,

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:32.880
<v Speaker 4>she had the energy she.

0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Did and I didn't. Fin Maybe I secretly knew.

0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 4>Right, it's probably like on a deeper, deeper level your

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:42.680
<v Speaker 4>feeling and there was some sort of connection there.

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:43.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.520
<v Speaker 4>Interesting, but you honestly the fact that you got like

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 4>this free mini vacation, Yeah, I might apply for the

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:50.879
<v Speaker 4>job just to get that.

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:53.880
<v Speaker 3>As the ghostman a day in Atlanta.

0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 4>I love staying in a hotel on somebody's style. And

0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:59.400
<v Speaker 4>then in the interview, I'll say, gotcha, Yeah.

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:00.760
<v Speaker 3>I would have been a great flight attendant.

0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:01.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh you would have been excelled.

0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 3>I great.

0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:03.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I can imagine, And I.

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Think that's you know, all my friends would have been

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:06.840
<v Speaker 3>flight attended.

0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh, and you would have been all over the world.

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we'd been hanging out.

0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 4>It does seem like a good time to me.

0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but then I would have woke up ten years

0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:16.760
<v Speaker 3>later and been like, what was that? Wait? What I

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:21.639
<v Speaker 3>came to it? Leana? I remember I told a joke.

0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:22.840
<v Speaker 3>You know, it would have.

0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:25.720
<v Speaker 4>Been Yeah, it would have gone by in a flash.

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:29.560
<v Speaker 4>You would have always wondered, Yeah, yeah, wow, well something

0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:33.399
<v Speaker 4>I've been wondering about. Yes, the podcast is called I

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:36.760
<v Speaker 4>said no Gifts. Yes, I was very, very excited to

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:39.760
<v Speaker 4>have you here today. I thought, she's gonna come by,

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 4>well chat. Hopefully the heat won't be overwhelming that part

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.840
<v Speaker 4>has It hasn't worked out as planned. I am sweating

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 4>like crazy, but I thought otherwise, we're going to have

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 4>a nice summary time. So I was a little surprised

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:56.240
<v Speaker 4>when the doorbell rang and I open it and I

0:28:56.280 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 4>see you, and then I see you're holding what appears

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 4>and I'm just I hate to assume what appears to

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:06.280
<v Speaker 4>be a gift for me? Yes, what's happening here?

0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:12.120
<v Speaker 5>So I thought about a few things. Okay, that is

0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 5>in fact a gift for you, Okay, right right? And

0:29:15.720 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 5>I thought I wonder if anyone ever actually listens to

0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:26.240
<v Speaker 5>him and doesn't bring a gift. And then I was like,

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 5>but I don't want to be.

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:34.240
<v Speaker 4>That person, you know, right, that's interesting process.

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 5>Then I thought, well, maybe it doesn't have to be

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:38.920
<v Speaker 5>a tangible gift.

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:42.800
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I could write him a high coup. Oh then

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 3>I didn't want to write a high coup.

0:29:45.680 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 4>That's a lot of work.

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Then I thought, well, he'll like this gift. You know

0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:54.720
<v Speaker 3>how people think that they're the exception.

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:58.400
<v Speaker 4>Of course, people say that about me all the time.

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:00.720
<v Speaker 5>I didn't have the courage to not show up with

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:03.959
<v Speaker 5>a gift as much as you said, don't so please

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:04.560
<v Speaker 5>forgive me.

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 3>You know what they say? What is it saying like?

0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:10.560
<v Speaker 5>Just do like do it and ask for forgiveness later.

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 4>Right, Yeah, let's see, it's hoals. You know Atals is smiling.

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 6>What is it better to ask for forgiveness than permission?

0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 2>There?

0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 4>There you go, what a great rule.

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So, has anyone not brought you a gift?

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 4>Has anybody, Lisa? Has anybody not brought me a gift?

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 5>Has anyone not not pissed you off?

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 3>I think the closest would be ze Way.

0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:39.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, that was an early one. Yeah yeah,

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:43.080
<v Speaker 4>sea Way sent me no gift. Okay, she sent an

0:30:43.120 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 4>email though, and I considered that a gift okay. I

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 4>printed it out and framed it and then it became

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 4>a gift.

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 4>So so far, no one's just shown up completely. Thank

0:30:52.160 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 4>you Analise completely okay.

0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 3>And has anyone sent you a gift as a gift?

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:02.800
<v Speaker 4>Margaret cho send me all an n FT which was

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 4>not a gift, It was a photo of her.

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:07.360
<v Speaker 3>I think, oh, non functionible. Is it worth anything?

0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:12.160
<v Speaker 4>Yes? I think if you say an NFT is worth something,

0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:14.640
<v Speaker 4>it is immediately worth something, okay. And I value this

0:31:14.680 --> 0:31:17.760
<v Speaker 4>at about six point one million, so and you know

0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 4>the market fluctuates, yeah, but I assume it's just going

0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 4>to keep going up. Yeah, someone's gonna buy it for

0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:26.880
<v Speaker 4>me eventually, and it's going to solve all of my problems. Yeah. Well,

0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 4>should I open the gift here on the podcast?

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:53.440
<v Speaker 4>It's an endurable little uh burlap sack that's very cute,

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 4>and it says decolonize your tongue. That's nice. It does that?

0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 4>Does that have anything to do with what's happening in hair?

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:01.560
<v Speaker 4>Should I open it up? Yeah?

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 3>It does. It's a directly.

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 4>Hard first sure, Okay. The card I keep forgetting about

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:13.320
<v Speaker 4>because it's a durable it's about it's very sweet. I'm

0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 4>opening it. Okay, this is Bridger. I know you said

0:32:17.560 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 4>no gifts, but okay, you you were coming with a

0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 4>big excuse immediately.

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:24.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, you know what it is?

0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 5>What I think that it is the weirdest thing to

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 5>give someone a gift without a card with it. I

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:33.920
<v Speaker 5>don't know where I got that from, right, I don't

0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 5>know why. I don't know if you just need to

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:37.480
<v Speaker 5>like put your name on it, get like you need

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:41.600
<v Speaker 5>to attach like a greeting. But it feels very strange

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 5>to me to give someone something wrapped and then just

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 5>like that's.

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:51.760
<v Speaker 4>You know, you know, it almost feels like it could

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:54.479
<v Speaker 4>just literally have been from anybody. Yeah, you found that

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 4>in the road to give to them.

0:32:55.800 --> 0:32:59.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's like putting your hair in a ponytail without

0:32:59.000 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 5>a hair tie.

0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:04.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean that's impressive. Yeah. No, I agree with that

0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:06.160
<v Speaker 4>for the most part. I feel like I'm trying to

0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:08.480
<v Speaker 4>think of any any time I've ever given a gift without.

0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Without a card. It just doesn't.

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:14.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, even to like like kids like my nieces

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:16.280
<v Speaker 4>have some card.

0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:19.200
<v Speaker 3>I think you can give a card without a gift.

0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:25.880
<v Speaker 4>Right, Which, come on, now you're hinting that you could

0:33:25.880 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 4>have given me more. What a shame I didn't. You're

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 4>just making me read. Yeah, okay, I'm opening the gift.

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:37.680
<v Speaker 4>Here it feels like there are two things. Take them

0:33:37.680 --> 0:33:38.080
<v Speaker 4>both out.

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay.

0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 4>They're like little packages within a package, which I appreciate.

0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:50.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh oh is this nice tea? I am just track.

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:54.000
<v Speaker 4>I know it's nice tea because it's not in a box.

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 4>It's in like a little like air tight package.

0:33:57.520 --> 0:33:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Calibash, calabash.

0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it's two different types. And Moroccan, which we love

0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:08.440
<v Speaker 4>the title of and simply irresistible. Okay, tell me once caffeine. Well,

0:34:08.520 --> 0:34:11.720
<v Speaker 4>you've really thought it through. One has caffeine, one does? Yeah, okay,

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 4>tell me everything.

0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:15.319
<v Speaker 3>The rock and Moroccans should have caffeine. Is that the

0:34:15.360 --> 0:34:15.799
<v Speaker 3>one that is.

0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:18.040
<v Speaker 4>Yes and tells you everything?

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 5>I So Here's here's what's funny about this gift is

0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:29.319
<v Speaker 5>as I was walking out of my house with it,

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:35.680
<v Speaker 5>I thought, who gives loose leaf tea without the actual

0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:38.759
<v Speaker 5>functioning teep like the thing to steep it?

0:34:39.160 --> 0:34:39.960
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:34:40.040 --> 0:34:43.279
<v Speaker 5>I've made I've made a pretty big assumption about you.

0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:48.240
<v Speaker 4>You've made an enormous incorrect.

0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:54.400
<v Speaker 5>That you somehow have what is necessary to steep loose

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:55.880
<v Speaker 5>leaf tea.

0:34:56.160 --> 0:34:58.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna be going through the cabinets. Okay, but this

0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:02.440
<v Speaker 4>might be, you know, a good thing for me. It

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:04.400
<v Speaker 4>might be the you know, you're lighting a fuse in

0:35:04.400 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 4>my life where I'm like, I have to go out

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:07.520
<v Speaker 4>and get what's necessary.

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 3>I've given you a reason to go back to targeting.

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:12.799
<v Speaker 4>Right exactly, I'm gonna I'll be there today. Yes, who

0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:16.080
<v Speaker 4>are you kidding? See and it's a little metal thing

0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:18.360
<v Speaker 4>or do you buy the you don't put in sacks?

0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:21.480
<v Speaker 3>No, no, you don't play a nightmare? Yeah you so.

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:23.120
<v Speaker 3>So here's the thing about loose leaf tea.

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:26.400
<v Speaker 5>Okay, first of all, I am totally I used to

0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:27.560
<v Speaker 5>be like an espresso girl.

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, espresso coffee all the time.

0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:33.279
<v Speaker 5>Anytime I take that over a meal. If you know,

0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:36.280
<v Speaker 5>you want to give me like a latte and a muffin,

0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:41.799
<v Speaker 5>you know, get what, Get that car protein vegetable out

0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:44.919
<v Speaker 5>of here, you know. And then I reached the point

0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:47.919
<v Speaker 5>in my life where I started having these allergic reactions

0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:48.520
<v Speaker 5>to things.

0:35:48.800 --> 0:35:50.719
<v Speaker 3>Well one of them was espresso.

0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:53.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh this is my nightmare.

0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was like everything I loved.

0:35:56.920 --> 0:35:59.400
<v Speaker 5>She told me, this doctor told me that I couldn't have,

0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:03.840
<v Speaker 5>and I was like, what is life? Of course, and

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 5>I moved into machas, you know, because I really, well,

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:12.279
<v Speaker 5>is it.

0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:15.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's a whole lifestyle shift, it really is.

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:15.840
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:18.560
<v Speaker 4>It tastes like health, it tastes.

0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:21.359
<v Speaker 5>Like grass, and it depends on the macha you get,

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:26.400
<v Speaker 5>you know. But I also did not want to be

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:29.799
<v Speaker 5>having these reactions that I was having, right, And I

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:32.919
<v Speaker 5>think the thing with machas, you realize like, oh wait,

0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:35.440
<v Speaker 5>you go to some places and you're like, oh, people

0:36:35.440 --> 0:36:40.959
<v Speaker 5>are just making lattes out of teas, right, right, And

0:36:41.080 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 5>so then I got into tea like I always drank tea.

0:36:44.680 --> 0:36:46.319
<v Speaker 4>But you're not thinking about it.

0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:49.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, you just go when you buy a Celestial Seasons,

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:49.960
<v Speaker 3>you buy the.

0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:52.160
<v Speaker 4>Pre bag exactly, the little Teddy Bear guy.

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 5>And then my friend one day he's like, you know,

0:36:57.160 --> 0:37:00.640
<v Speaker 5>all the tea bags when they come prepackaged, you know,

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:05.839
<v Speaker 5>it's like plastic, And I'm like, you ever go out

0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:08.799
<v Speaker 5>and buy something more expensive, thinking you're saving yourself from

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:11.719
<v Speaker 5>Like I was like, I was like, no, I'm buying

0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:16.920
<v Speaker 5>I'm buying expensive tea. My tea bags are silk, My

0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:20.480
<v Speaker 5>tea bags are one hundred percent Linen. He's like, I

0:37:20.560 --> 0:37:23.239
<v Speaker 5>know you think they are, but they're not like.

0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:24.960
<v Speaker 4>The stuff that catch fishing.

0:37:25.320 --> 0:37:26.200
<v Speaker 3>He's like, he's like.

0:37:26.160 --> 0:37:29.480
<v Speaker 5>They all have some sort of like plastic foaming on them.

0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:32.439
<v Speaker 4>Oh, this is horrifying. Yeah, he's melting into your water.

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:34.839
<v Speaker 3>Your water. He's like, so you have to switch over

0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:36.080
<v Speaker 3>to loose leaf tea.

0:37:36.239 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh that is mortifying. So how long have you been

0:37:39.440 --> 0:37:40.200
<v Speaker 4>doing loose leaf?

0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Probably since May.

0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:44.920
<v Speaker 4>Oh it's a recent thing.

0:37:45.000 --> 0:37:45.719
<v Speaker 3>It's a recent thing.

0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:47.840
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So when did you I've got a lot of

0:37:47.920 --> 0:37:49.880
<v Speaker 4>questions because I have a lot of questions about coffee

0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:53.920
<v Speaker 4>and everything in general. When did you stop coffee or espresso?

0:37:55.840 --> 0:37:56.920
<v Speaker 3>Coffee and espresso?

0:37:57.000 --> 0:37:58.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh okay, so you're done with coffee altogether.

0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:03.000
<v Speaker 5>I've been trying recent lead to do it go like put.

0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:03.200
<v Speaker 3>It back in.

0:38:03.280 --> 0:38:06.280
<v Speaker 5>So I have like one, I had one, like a latte,

0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:08.520
<v Speaker 5>like maybe like two weeks ago, and then I found

0:38:08.520 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 5>the next two days I had migraines.

0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:12.640
<v Speaker 3>That I could not get rid of.

0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:16.239
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, yeah, so I stopped coffee and espresso in

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:21.160
<v Speaker 5>the either the very end of.

0:38:21.160 --> 0:38:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Twenty twenty one, the very end of twenty twenty one.

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:26.120
<v Speaker 4>So you've been off for a while. Yeah, and you

0:38:26.160 --> 0:38:28.120
<v Speaker 4>were drinking plastic for about a year and a half.

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:30.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I was going strong with macha's at first, and

0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:32.759
<v Speaker 5>then my favorite I found this place, this cafe in

0:38:32.800 --> 0:38:36.080
<v Speaker 5>Harvard Heights that they made an amazing macha. I mean,

0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:38.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, this isn't macha. This is just a treat

0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:40.640
<v Speaker 5>in my mouth. It happens to be green.

0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:42.879
<v Speaker 4>Right, had a very good shade of green, by the way,

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:43.359
<v Speaker 4>a very.

0:38:43.239 --> 0:38:45.560
<v Speaker 3>Good shade grit. But they would do the strawberry milk,

0:38:45.680 --> 0:38:48.719
<v Speaker 3>you know, when I would get it iced. Oh, I mean,

0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:49.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean I was.

0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:51.759
<v Speaker 5>I was screaming from the rooftop, you know, like you

0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:52.560

0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:05.040
<v Speaker 5>And Ramadan this year was it's in March, okay, And

0:39:05.200 --> 0:39:07.600
<v Speaker 5>so I'm not eating or drinking during the day, right,

0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:09.960
<v Speaker 5>But as soon as Ramadan is over, you know, you

0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:12.040
<v Speaker 5>want to be able to go to your favorite places

0:39:12.080 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 5>while the sun is up, because for thirty days you've abstained.

0:39:15.680 --> 0:39:16.399
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:20.040
<v Speaker 5>I go to my coffee shop and I see a

0:39:20.080 --> 0:39:22.880
<v Speaker 5>sign on a window, or my macha shop. Rather, I

0:39:22.920 --> 0:39:27.200
<v Speaker 5>see a sign on a window saying sorry, but as.

0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:34.400
<v Speaker 4>Of oh, this feeling permanently yeah, permanently crushing, crushing. You

0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:38.319
<v Speaker 4>just assume restaurants and coffee shops will always be there.

0:39:38.880 --> 0:39:41.040
<v Speaker 4>It just it never crosses your mind that they, like

0:39:41.080 --> 0:39:43.239
<v Speaker 4>the ones you love, will go out of business. I

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:46.120
<v Speaker 4>mean it's like next to family members and friends dying,

0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:48.360
<v Speaker 4>Like restaurants, you're like, they'll just be there forever and

0:39:49.040 --> 0:39:50.000
<v Speaker 4>will live together.

0:39:50.200 --> 0:39:52.880
<v Speaker 5>And sometimes you think like, well, there's so many shitty

0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:56.759
<v Speaker 5>places that have been open for years. This place is

0:39:56.800 --> 0:39:59.719
<v Speaker 5>like a gem, you know, this is like this is

0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:04.960
<v Speaker 5>like a beautiful little treat in this neighborhood. They're for

0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:06.720
<v Speaker 5>sure they're going to last.

0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:09.280
<v Speaker 4>Why do bad things happen to good restaurants? Yes?

0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:12.440
<v Speaker 5>And then the shock is because it's like, if it

0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:15.880
<v Speaker 5>weren't Ramadan, I would have been there multiple times, so

0:40:16.000 --> 0:40:19.560
<v Speaker 5>I would have at least been prepared, you know what

0:40:19.560 --> 0:40:21.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying. I would have spent the last week just

0:40:21.719 --> 0:40:24.400
<v Speaker 5>there every day, you know, like a going out of business.

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:27.399
<v Speaker 4>Heard it like croak out its final word.

0:40:27.560 --> 0:40:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Yes, but this was a shock.

0:40:29.560 --> 0:40:33.120
<v Speaker 4>Do you blame yourself? Were they hanging by a thread

0:40:33.120 --> 0:40:39.600
<v Speaker 4>and every day they're like, where's she at? I'm accusing you,

0:40:39.960 --> 0:40:43.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm pointing a finger. Let's be honest, they were so good.

0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:48.960
<v Speaker 5>I went to their Yelp page to see why, and

0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:54.799
<v Speaker 5>people were leaving reviews after the closed announcement, saying, we're

0:40:54.800 --> 0:40:57.240
<v Speaker 5>so sad to see this place. Oh, they were such

0:40:57.360 --> 0:41:00.719
<v Speaker 5>a wonderful. Do you know treat in neighborhood?

0:41:00.880 --> 0:41:04.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean seriously, like it's like leaving flowers at the grave.

0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:06.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I searched for them one line.

0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:11.040
<v Speaker 4>I we're just mold melding here. I've done the exact

0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:13.399
<v Speaker 4>same thing two days ago that I was like, there's

0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:15.000
<v Speaker 4>this Korean place I wanted to go to. I was like,

0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:17.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna head out, and then I googled it just

0:41:17.360 --> 0:41:21.239
<v Speaker 4>in case. I saw bright red letters permanently close. So

0:41:21.320 --> 0:41:24.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm getting on Yelp. I'm looking the last two reviews

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:27.640
<v Speaker 4>are mourning the loss of it. Yeah, horrible feeling. I

0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:30.160
<v Speaker 4>think I've probably I actually know for a fact there

0:41:30.200 --> 0:41:33.680
<v Speaker 4>was a taco place years ago that closed. I cried, Yeah,

0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:36.640
<v Speaker 4>first of all, literally cried, and then got in touch

0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:38.520
<v Speaker 4>with the owners, tried to figure out what was going on.

0:41:38.600 --> 0:41:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:41:39.040 --> 0:41:40.919
<v Speaker 4>The thing that's going on is they don't have any money.

0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:42.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yea very pretty simple.

0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:46.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they don't have a ghost or something. You know,

0:41:46.800 --> 0:41:49.280
<v Speaker 4>it's like, yeah, we just weren't doing enough business.

0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:51.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And then you're like, what does that say about

0:41:51.920 --> 0:41:53.520
<v Speaker 4>my taste that I'm going to the place that went

0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:54.200
<v Speaker 4>out of business?

0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:58.640
<v Speaker 5>I in this time, this climate, I just knew that

0:41:58.760 --> 0:42:02.680
<v Speaker 5>it was like they either have to charge ten dollars

0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:05.839
<v Speaker 5>for what they're doing or they have to figure out

0:42:05.880 --> 0:42:10.040
<v Speaker 5>another way. And I will admit I will pay seven

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:11.760
<v Speaker 5>fifty for a macha.

0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:14.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm unwilling today to go up to ten dollars.

0:42:15.000 --> 0:42:17.799
<v Speaker 5>I walked into a place that had hot reviews and

0:42:17.840 --> 0:42:20.480
<v Speaker 5>I said, I'll do a strawberry macha, right. And I'm thinking,

0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 5>like I'm finding a new place, of course, you know,

0:42:24.280 --> 0:42:27.480
<v Speaker 5>and she said she said something like ten seventy one,

0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:29.480
<v Speaker 5>and I did a double take.

0:42:29.560 --> 0:42:32.040
<v Speaker 3>I said, wait, I thought she charged me for a muffin.

0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:35.040
<v Speaker 4>You know, where's my Thanksgiving fees?

0:42:35.280 --> 0:42:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:42:35.800 --> 0:42:38.320
<v Speaker 5>I said wait, wait, wait what what what are the charges?

0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:40.719
<v Speaker 5>And she was like, you want an almond milk right?

0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:43.120
<v Speaker 5>And I was like yeah, and she was like yeah,

0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:46.399
<v Speaker 5>it's this is the And I was like, oh, I'm

0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:49.360
<v Speaker 5>so sorry. Did you start making it? She was like no, no, no,

0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:50.759
<v Speaker 5>I said, I'm so sorry, I have a great day.

0:42:51.800 --> 0:42:54.839
<v Speaker 4>Good for you. Yeah, and felt bad for two weeks.

0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:56.920
<v Speaker 3>No, no, you have to stand up.

0:42:56.880 --> 0:42:59.080
<v Speaker 4>For yourself in these No. No, no ten dollars for

0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:03.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean, any non alcoholic beverage. It's we've entered a danger.

0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:43:04.200 --> 0:43:08.239
<v Speaker 5>But but but I saw her setup. Her setup was

0:43:08.320 --> 0:43:11.840
<v Speaker 5>nowhere near the setup interesting of my guys.

0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:13.359
<v Speaker 4>Right, so she was ripping people off.

0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:18.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they were trying to provide a superb product and

0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:21.080
<v Speaker 5>a made to order product.

0:43:21.680 --> 0:43:23.879
<v Speaker 3>But that cost, it.

0:43:23.840 --> 0:43:26.920
<v Speaker 4>Really does, right, You've got to cut some corners, so

0:43:27.080 --> 0:43:28.640
<v Speaker 4>they corners cut.

0:43:29.000 --> 0:43:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:31.719
<v Speaker 5>AnyWho, So now I'm on my tea. You know, Now

0:43:31.760 --> 0:43:34.400
<v Speaker 5>I'm on this tea journey. It's like I've lost coffee.

0:43:34.400 --> 0:43:35.760
<v Speaker 5>I've kind of lost machia.

0:43:36.760 --> 0:43:38.640
<v Speaker 4>And and are you strictly hot tea?

0:43:39.040 --> 0:43:39.200

<v Speaker 5>But I have never been like you know how people

0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:45.520
<v Speaker 5>were like give me the Arnold Palmer.

0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:48.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, sure, why would you mess up lemonade?

0:43:48.960 --> 0:43:52.040
<v Speaker 4>Why would you mess up tea? They're both great memage.

0:43:52.600 --> 0:43:55.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, I am mostly a hot tea person.

0:43:55.360 --> 0:43:55.680
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Even on the way here, I did a hot chi

0:43:58.320 --> 0:43:59.000
<v Speaker 3>oh interesting.

0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:00.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I did at agree.

0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:02.960
<v Speaker 3>Weather, ninety degree weather, so you know, I had.

0:44:03.000 --> 0:44:08.560
<v Speaker 4>Getting back to the temperatures with you, pure mayhem. You

0:44:08.960 --> 0:44:14.640
<v Speaker 4>have the car at like forty eight degrees, boiling hot beverage.

0:44:15.400 --> 0:44:17.560
<v Speaker 4>You're sick, you've got an illness.

0:44:17.920 --> 0:44:21.359
<v Speaker 3>But I don't like sweat really oh that much.

0:44:21.440 --> 0:44:23.400
<v Speaker 4>Wow, So you're just immortal.

0:44:25.480 --> 0:44:28.560
<v Speaker 5>I don't like like I'm warm right now, right, but

0:44:28.719 --> 0:44:32.080
<v Speaker 5>like it'll have to be. We'd have to be like

0:44:32.160 --> 0:44:34.560
<v Speaker 5>in the Middle East for like a bead of sweat

0:44:34.600 --> 0:44:35.880
<v Speaker 5>to come down my forehead.

0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:39.200
<v Speaker 4>You're remarkably dry looking, and I feel like I'm drenched. No,

0:44:39.280 --> 0:44:42.880
<v Speaker 4>you're dry really. Yeah, I feel like I like water

0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:45.279
<v Speaker 4>is running down my face. Okay, that's good. I do

0:44:45.320 --> 0:44:46.839
<v Speaker 4>feel cozy rather than hot.

0:44:47.000 --> 0:44:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:49.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm not to the like heat stroke the moment.

0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Yet I feel my hair swelling.

0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:53.879
<v Speaker 5>That's just you know, because I know that's gonna happen

0:44:53.920 --> 0:44:55.800
<v Speaker 5>mon fuzz yeah and curl.

0:44:56.000 --> 0:45:00.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's a terrible feeling. Yeah. I'm more of a

0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:02.600
<v Speaker 4>cold tea person. Okay, I wonder if I could turn

0:45:02.640 --> 0:45:04.640
<v Speaker 4>this into cold tea. You can. What do I do?

0:45:04.719 --> 0:45:07.040
<v Speaker 4>I I steep it and then put it in the fridge.

0:45:07.120 --> 0:45:08.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was gonna say, you want to steep it

0:45:08.600 --> 0:45:09.719
<v Speaker 3>hot and then put it in the.

0:45:09.680 --> 0:45:12.000
<v Speaker 4>Fridge, yeah, Or I wonder if there's like there's probably

0:45:12.040 --> 0:45:13.799
<v Speaker 4>enough in here to cold brew it.

0:45:14.360 --> 0:45:15.839
<v Speaker 3>You know, I don't know how to cold brew.

0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:18.399
<v Speaker 4>I cold just moments before you got here, was doing

0:45:18.400 --> 0:45:21.040
<v Speaker 4>a whole It's called a cold brew Toddy. It's like

0:45:21.040 --> 0:45:25.239
<v Speaker 4>a plastic machine you fill up with coffee and leave overnight.

0:45:25.800 --> 0:45:29.120
<v Speaker 4>Next day you've got a week of cold brew. And yeah,

0:45:29.120 --> 0:45:30.160
<v Speaker 4>I think you can use it for tea.

0:45:30.280 --> 0:45:30.799
<v Speaker 3>Try it?

0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:33.520
<v Speaker 4>Maybe I will let me know. Yeah, I mean, I

0:45:33.560 --> 0:45:35.600
<v Speaker 4>wonder what how that affects. I think it just brings

0:45:35.640 --> 0:45:36.320
<v Speaker 4>out the flavor.

0:45:37.160 --> 0:45:39.960
<v Speaker 5>Maybe I don't so, because I know with's hot when

0:45:40.000 --> 0:45:43.080
<v Speaker 5>you when you steep hot tea, right, there's a certain

0:45:43.080 --> 0:45:43.640
<v Speaker 5>amount of time.

0:45:43.680 --> 0:45:45.120
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know that at first too. I would be

0:45:45.120 --> 0:45:45.719
<v Speaker 3>one of those people.

0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:47.799
<v Speaker 5>I'm just leaving a tea bag in there, you know,

0:45:48.680 --> 0:45:50.920
<v Speaker 5>I'm leaving a tea bag in there. Maybe I'm refilling

0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:52.920
<v Speaker 5>some water with the same tea, but you know, just

0:45:53.040 --> 0:45:55.800
<v Speaker 5>really disrespectful to tea.

0:45:55.880 --> 0:45:59.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if you're desperate, you can use it twice, right, yeah, I.

0:45:59.040 --> 0:46:03.440
<v Speaker 5>Mean, I mean they gave you fifty two tea bags

0:46:03.440 --> 0:46:04.360
<v Speaker 5>for twin.

0:46:05.800 --> 0:46:08.640
<v Speaker 4>What if you're in a bunker. I guess you want

0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:09.959
<v Speaker 4>to have a quiet moment of tea.

0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:10.839
<v Speaker 3>Do you know that?

0:46:10.920 --> 0:46:14.560
<v Speaker 5>Like when we have like peppermint or chat whatever. You know,

0:46:14.600 --> 0:46:17.200
<v Speaker 5>it's not actually tea Like in America we call it tea,

0:46:17.600 --> 0:46:21.600
<v Speaker 5>but the like there's only two teas that come from tea.

0:46:22.360 --> 0:46:24.279
<v Speaker 3>It's a tea leaf. That's what the leaf is called.

0:46:24.320 --> 0:46:25.120
<v Speaker 3>It's a tea leaf.

0:46:25.239 --> 0:46:28.920
<v Speaker 4>I had no idea. Actually, that's fascinating.

0:46:30.800 --> 0:46:31.440
<v Speaker 3>That belief.

0:46:31.560 --> 0:46:33.440
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, and then the rest of this is just

0:46:33.480 --> 0:46:34.040
<v Speaker 4>like pot pourri.

0:46:35.160 --> 0:46:38.200
<v Speaker 5>It's like what it like, it's mint a tea. Mint

0:46:38.280 --> 0:46:41.240
<v Speaker 5>is not a tea. Mint is mint. It's a mint leaf,

0:46:41.960 --> 0:46:42.960
<v Speaker 5>but it's not a tea.

0:46:42.880 --> 0:46:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Leaf, right, Yeah, so.

0:46:44.960 --> 0:46:45.840
<v Speaker 4>It's like a combo.

0:46:46.080 --> 0:46:48.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I think there's like a black tea leaf.

0:46:48.400 --> 0:46:50.799
<v Speaker 4>Right, maybe is that the only tea?

0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:51.840
<v Speaker 3>I think? Maybe?

0:46:52.360 --> 0:46:55.920
<v Speaker 4>On a leash, any idea. I would love to know

0:46:55.960 --> 0:46:57.560
<v Speaker 4>this because it's a fascinating fact.

0:46:57.680 --> 0:46:58.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:46:58.400 --> 0:47:02.919
<v Speaker 4>I've been lied to. The helicopters circling. Everyone's finding out

0:47:03.040 --> 0:47:06.800
<v Speaker 4>three helicopters, four or five? Oh my god, that's crazy.

0:47:08.000 --> 0:47:09.680
<v Speaker 4>Why do we need five helicopters?

0:47:11.040 --> 0:47:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that is somewhat.

0:47:15.719 --> 0:47:19.520
<v Speaker 4>Wow, the president may have just passed over. I said,

0:47:19.600 --> 0:47:27.759
<v Speaker 4>no gifts, Joe reach out, Jill reach out. Wow, that

0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:30.560
<v Speaker 4>was the most helicopters I've maybe ever seen together.

0:47:30.880 --> 0:47:31.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if this is.

0:47:31.600 --> 0:47:34.919
<v Speaker 6>The correct answer, but what I've found was, while there's

0:47:34.920 --> 0:47:37.759
<v Speaker 6>literally thousands of teas, it can be they can all

0:47:37.760 --> 0:47:40.319
<v Speaker 6>be broken down into six main types. But I don't

0:47:40.400 --> 0:47:42.040
<v Speaker 6>I'm not seeing the specific.

0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:45.280
<v Speaker 3>Tea like the leaf names. I'm just seeing like black

0:47:45.320 --> 0:47:45.760
<v Speaker 3>and green.

0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:50.000
<v Speaker 4>I think we just assume that there's a black leaf

0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:52.800
<v Speaker 4>and a green leaf, and the rest were putting spices.

0:47:53.080 --> 0:47:58.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the rest are exactly that spices, right, fruits.

0:47:57.560 --> 0:48:00.840
<v Speaker 4>And right, because I feel like there are I mean,

0:48:00.880 --> 0:48:03.719
<v Speaker 4>there's well, actually, I mean I was about to say

0:48:03.719 --> 0:48:06.440
<v Speaker 4>some statement about tea that simply wouldn't have been true.

0:48:06.960 --> 0:48:10.680
<v Speaker 5>I don't know anything, and then then we started saying

0:48:10.719 --> 0:48:14.000
<v Speaker 5>tea because where do they drink a lot of tea?

0:48:14.120 --> 0:48:17.760
<v Speaker 5>Like maybe not where do they drink not like London

0:48:17.880 --> 0:48:19.720
<v Speaker 5>or something, not like your but there was a certain

0:48:20.000 --> 0:48:23.440
<v Speaker 5>that tea is, like that's what they originate of tea. Well,

0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:26.560
<v Speaker 5>they would call this hot drink that they were drinking

0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:28.440
<v Speaker 5>in that language, they would call it.

0:48:30.160 --> 0:48:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Or something like that and so then you know, passed down.

0:48:33.840 --> 0:48:36.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, then we just started calling these hot beverages that

0:48:36.960 --> 0:48:37.840
<v Speaker 5>we drank tea.

0:48:38.160 --> 0:48:41.960
<v Speaker 4>Wow, but it's yeah wow. I'm curious on at least

0:48:42.000 --> 0:48:45.440
<v Speaker 4>you know the where tea originated. This is an educational

0:48:45.480 --> 0:48:49.640
<v Speaker 4>podcasts and foremost we need to walk away with knowledge.

0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:52.400
<v Speaker 6>It is probable that the tea plant originated in regions

0:48:52.400 --> 0:48:55.000
<v Speaker 6>around southwest China, Tibt in northern India.

0:48:55.080 --> 0:48:59.040
<v Speaker 4>There we go. We've just learned. Our minds are just

0:48:59.120 --> 0:49:01.680
<v Speaker 4>so powerful and increasing every day.

0:49:01.800 --> 0:49:04.040
<v Speaker 5>But isn't it interesting when when you think of tea,

0:49:04.160 --> 0:49:05.239
<v Speaker 5>what country do you think of?

0:49:05.280 --> 0:49:05.560
<v Speaker 3>First?

0:49:05.680 --> 0:49:07.799
<v Speaker 4>I think of India? Okay, what do you think?

0:49:08.440 --> 0:49:11.200
<v Speaker 3>I think? I probably think of like the Brits.

0:49:10.920 --> 0:49:13.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh, England? Right, yeah, yeah, that's interesting. I mean I

0:49:13.840 --> 0:49:16.200
<v Speaker 4>guess I think the India thing is two things. It's

0:49:16.239 --> 0:49:19.680
<v Speaker 4>the colonization, the British people are there, and the origin.

0:49:19.960 --> 0:49:20.280
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:49:20.600 --> 0:49:21.160
<v Speaker 4>Interesting.

0:49:21.520 --> 0:49:25.240
<v Speaker 5>I make my chi lattes at home and I posted

0:49:25.320 --> 0:49:27.480
<v Speaker 5>one like on social media and I was like, I mean,

0:49:27.520 --> 0:49:29.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm really getting so good at this. I was like,

0:49:29.880 --> 0:49:32.960
<v Speaker 5>my ChIL lattes are like the best. And this Indian

0:49:33.000 --> 0:49:34.120
<v Speaker 5>woman DMed me and she.

0:49:34.200 --> 0:49:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Was like, it's just a chai. Wow. I was like,

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:42.359
<v Speaker 3>but doesn't latte mean?

0:49:42.440 --> 0:49:46.240
<v Speaker 5>She was like, a chai means specific spices and milk.

0:49:46.480 --> 0:49:48.920
<v Speaker 4>Oh interesting, So like what I think of as a

0:49:49.080 --> 0:49:52.280
<v Speaker 4>chai tea is not a chi. Yeah, she mads the milk.

0:49:52.440 --> 0:49:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:49:52.760 --> 0:49:55.240
<v Speaker 5>She's like, if you're saying chai latte, you're just saying

0:49:55.320 --> 0:49:56.719
<v Speaker 5>like chai chai.

0:49:57.480 --> 0:50:00.600
<v Speaker 4>Wow. There's a lot of misinformation out there, I.

0:50:00.600 --> 0:50:02.799
<v Speaker 3>Said, because you know how, sometimes you just don't want

0:50:02.840 --> 0:50:03.320
<v Speaker 3>to be wrong.

0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:06.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I love this, continued, I'm.

0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:09.360
<v Speaker 5>Willing to be like a little bit wrong, right, but

0:50:09.560 --> 0:50:11.640
<v Speaker 5>like one hundred percent wrong.

0:50:12.080 --> 0:50:14.320
<v Speaker 3>That's asking for a lot, of course.

0:50:15.080 --> 0:50:19.160
<v Speaker 5>So I was like, well, wait, doesn't latte mean steamed milk?

0:50:19.840 --> 0:50:21.640
<v Speaker 5>I was like, I would be pretty pissed if I

0:50:21.680 --> 0:50:24.120
<v Speaker 5>went into a store and asked for a chie and

0:50:24.160 --> 0:50:26.440
<v Speaker 5>they gave me a chie with just some cold.

0:50:26.160 --> 0:50:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Milk poort right.

0:50:27.960 --> 0:50:31.160
<v Speaker 5>And she was like, oh, yeah, I guess you have

0:50:31.239 --> 0:50:36.680
<v Speaker 5>a point. I guess in America it's and I was like, yeah,

0:50:36.880 --> 0:50:38.120
<v Speaker 5>just give me a little.

0:50:39.160 --> 0:50:42.200
<v Speaker 4>Two people absolutely refusing to back down from their positions.

0:50:42.600 --> 0:50:46.640
<v Speaker 3>You came and watched my story. Just give me a little.

0:50:46.719 --> 0:50:50.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was your writing so high on this moment.

0:50:50.560 --> 0:50:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Then I felt so bad.

0:50:51.800 --> 0:50:54.160
<v Speaker 5>I researched it a bit and then I was like,

0:50:54.880 --> 0:50:56.560
<v Speaker 5>I guess us Americans.

0:50:56.800 --> 0:51:02.880
<v Speaker 4>So to be clear, a chi is a chai tea

0:51:02.920 --> 0:51:04.440
<v Speaker 4>with any type of milk in it.

0:51:04.640 --> 0:51:09.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's how they serve Yeah, it's just like milk.

0:51:09.000 --> 0:51:12.799
<v Speaker 5>It's like, that's how they drink it. It's it's these spices, right,

0:51:13.160 --> 0:51:16.239
<v Speaker 5>steeped in water and then with milk added into it.

0:51:16.280 --> 0:51:18.640
<v Speaker 5>That is the way chai is made. So that is

0:51:18.680 --> 0:51:19.759
<v Speaker 5>the way they drink chi.

0:51:20.120 --> 0:51:23.200
<v Speaker 4>Right. So you take this information to a coffee shop

0:51:23.200 --> 0:51:26.000
<v Speaker 4>and you get to explain something to a barista and yes,

0:51:26.040 --> 0:51:28.920
<v Speaker 4>that's a I'm sure they'll love it. Yeah, they'll adore

0:51:28.960 --> 0:51:29.759
<v Speaker 4>every moment of that.

0:51:30.120 --> 0:51:36.560
<v Speaker 5>They will talk about me. They'll go live as soon

0:51:36.600 --> 0:51:37.920
<v Speaker 5>as their shift is done.

0:51:38.480 --> 0:51:41.160
<v Speaker 4>You believe this asshole.

0:51:42.360 --> 0:51:44.359
<v Speaker 5>She kept back and asking for a chai and I

0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:46.600
<v Speaker 5>was like a chi lat and she just kept saying chi.

0:51:47.239 --> 0:51:50.360
<v Speaker 5>And I was like, chai latte or chai and she

0:51:50.520 --> 0:51:51.839
<v Speaker 5>was like, there's only chai.

0:51:53.000 --> 0:51:56.640
<v Speaker 4>Next thing, I know, she's pulling out an encyclopedia.

0:51:57.719 --> 0:52:00.960
<v Speaker 5>So I give her this tea bag steep than hot water,

0:52:02.840 --> 0:52:04.719
<v Speaker 5>and now she wants to speak to a manager.

0:52:05.960 --> 0:52:06.799
<v Speaker 3>I can't do this.

0:52:09.000 --> 0:52:13.000
<v Speaker 4>Just terrorizing every coffee shop in America. Well, I'm I'm

0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:15.040
<v Speaker 4>very excited about both of these teas. Have you tried

0:52:15.080 --> 0:52:15.600
<v Speaker 4>either of them?

0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:18.000
<v Speaker 3>I've tried them. The Rock and Moroccan.

0:52:18.120 --> 0:52:21.360
<v Speaker 4>All right, let me see if it tells me what flavor.

0:52:21.239 --> 0:52:24.040
<v Speaker 3>It should be? Green? Is it not green tea? And

0:52:25.440 --> 0:52:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Marigal my favorite.

0:52:26.600 --> 0:52:28.160
<v Speaker 4>I love the sound of this and it says I

0:52:28.200 --> 0:52:29.600
<v Speaker 4>can put it over ice so I can do whatever

0:52:29.640 --> 0:52:29.960
<v Speaker 4>I want.

0:52:30.080 --> 0:52:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Nice.

0:52:30.560 --> 0:52:35.560
<v Speaker 4>And then the simply irresistible is Marigold and Egyptian mint

0:52:35.680 --> 0:52:39.560
<v Speaker 4>and love love. So the other one didn't have love,

0:52:39.680 --> 0:52:42.799
<v Speaker 4>so that actually it does say love, so they were

0:52:42.840 --> 0:52:47.239
<v Speaker 4>both created with love. You got to know that Marigold

0:52:47.320 --> 0:52:48.359
<v Speaker 4>and Egyptian mint.

0:52:48.520 --> 0:52:51.319
<v Speaker 5>You know, whenever they put a country before something, it's like, oh,

0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:53.239
<v Speaker 5>this is mint, but this is Egyptian mint.

0:52:53.239 --> 0:52:55.120
<v Speaker 3>You're like, what's Egyptian?

0:52:55.200 --> 0:52:58.040
<v Speaker 4>Man? You're going to have a weird experience.

0:52:58.520 --> 0:53:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Is it meant with like heavy eyeline?

0:53:00.080 --> 0:53:04.480
<v Speaker 4>I know you never know, you never know.

0:53:04.520 --> 0:53:06.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm so sorry Egypt.

0:53:09.040 --> 0:53:10.279
<v Speaker 4>Now I'm not going to be able to have a

0:53:10.320 --> 0:53:14.560
<v Speaker 4>live show in Cairo. Cancel the dates, cancel the dates.

0:53:17.760 --> 0:53:21.960
<v Speaker 4>Very interesting. Yeah, I recently did have Moroccan pepper and

0:53:22.000 --> 0:53:24.799
<v Speaker 4>it was intense. I liked it, but it was it

0:53:24.840 --> 0:53:26.759
<v Speaker 4>was a learning curve. There was a moment where I

0:53:26.800 --> 0:53:28.680
<v Speaker 4>was like, I don't like this, and then I learned.

0:53:28.719 --> 0:53:30.680
<v Speaker 4>I was like, oh, it's just different, and now I

0:53:30.840 --> 0:53:32.920
<v Speaker 4>kind of love it. Yeah, you just have to let

0:53:32.960 --> 0:53:36.520
<v Speaker 4>it hurt you for a minute. Yeah, Okay, Well we've

0:53:36.520 --> 0:53:40.160

0:53:47.320 --> 0:53:49.080

0:55:20.280 --> 0:55:21.759
<v Speaker 4>we're going to play gift to a curse. I'm going

0:55:21.800 --> 0:55:24.040
<v Speaker 4>to name three things. You're going to tell me if

0:55:24.040 --> 0:55:27.560
<v Speaker 4>there're a gift or a curse and why, then I'll

0:55:27.560 --> 0:55:29.800
<v Speaker 4>tell you if you're right or wrong, because they're correct.

0:55:29.800 --> 0:55:34.279
<v Speaker 4>Answers number one, there are correct, there are watch out

0:55:36.360 --> 0:55:38.439
<v Speaker 4>number one. This is from a listener named Peter Peter

0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:40.839
<v Speaker 4>suggested gift her a curse escalators.

0:55:43.080 --> 0:55:53.439
<v Speaker 3>Ooh, escalators can be a curse for some people. I've

0:55:53.480 --> 0:55:59.920
<v Speaker 3>seen it. I have seen the tumble, I have seen the.

0:56:00.000 --> 0:56:03.640
<v Speaker 5>Little baby's foot gets, I have seen tragic stories. But

0:56:03.800 --> 0:56:06.719
<v Speaker 5>the escalator overall is a gift.

0:56:07.280 --> 0:56:11.880
<v Speaker 4>It is a gift wrong. They are simply a curse.

0:56:12.160 --> 0:56:14.520
<v Speaker 4>I've been afraid of them since I was I mean

0:56:14.560 --> 0:56:17.560
<v Speaker 4>it was a major childhood fear. First of all, I thought,

0:56:17.600 --> 0:56:19.759
<v Speaker 4>I definitely thought one of my fingers was going in there.

0:56:19.880 --> 0:56:21.400
<v Speaker 4>I thought a shoelace was going in there. I was

0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:24.399
<v Speaker 4>getting sucked into the department store. So you know, they

0:56:24.440 --> 0:56:30.479
<v Speaker 4>haunted me for so long. And now I love a staircase. Okay, look,

0:56:30.520 --> 0:56:32.680
<v Speaker 4>if you don't want to move, get in the elevator.

0:56:34.040 --> 0:56:36.920
<v Speaker 4>If you want stairs, take the stairs. Yeah, I love

0:56:36.960 --> 0:56:39.360
<v Speaker 4>a nice set of stairs to run up or run down.

0:56:40.120 --> 0:56:43.880
<v Speaker 4>Escalators also bring out one of my least favorite behaviors

0:56:43.880 --> 0:56:46.319
<v Speaker 4>in everyone, which is the standing side by side on

0:56:46.360 --> 0:56:49.000
<v Speaker 4>a moving object that should be able to the option

0:56:49.080 --> 0:56:50.000
<v Speaker 4>should be to climb.

0:56:50.160 --> 0:56:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, yes, yes.

0:56:51.960 --> 0:56:55.160
<v Speaker 4>And when an escalator stops, when it's out of order

0:56:55.160 --> 0:56:56.160
<v Speaker 4>and you have to walk up that.

0:56:56.160 --> 0:56:58.719
<v Speaker 3>Thing, Yeah, it seems like something isn't right.

0:56:58.800 --> 0:57:01.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Top five most disort reenting feelings. Yes, you're sick

0:57:01.800 --> 0:57:03.120
<v Speaker 4>to your stomach by the top.

0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:07.200
<v Speaker 5>Yes are so these are the right or wrong of

0:57:07.280 --> 0:57:11.600
<v Speaker 5>it is based is solely based on you. No, no,

0:57:11.600 --> 0:57:16.040
<v Speaker 5>no truths okay, because when you said there are in

0:57:16.080 --> 0:57:20.920
<v Speaker 5>fact correct answers, I just knew, like Wikipedia said so

0:57:21.440 --> 0:57:21.960
<v Speaker 5>or something.

0:57:24.160 --> 0:57:26.040
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so you failed that one.

0:57:26.160 --> 0:57:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Well wait, wait, there's no way. So you know how

0:57:31.480 --> 0:57:32.520
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of people.

0:57:34.040 --> 0:57:38.560
<v Speaker 5>There's there's people on like each side of the spectrum,

0:57:38.880 --> 0:57:42.000
<v Speaker 5>but most people are in the middle. I feel like

0:57:42.080 --> 0:57:44.960
<v Speaker 5>that's who the escalator is for, right, because I am

0:57:45.080 --> 0:57:50.320
<v Speaker 5>like you, I too use a stare, right. I feel like, yeah,

0:57:50.440 --> 0:57:53.000
<v Speaker 5>as long as I can use this stare, I will

0:57:53.080 --> 0:57:53.720
<v Speaker 5>use this stare.

0:57:53.960 --> 0:57:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:57:55.120 --> 0:58:00.120
<v Speaker 5>But then there's so many people who just don't have

0:58:00.120 --> 0:58:02.440
<v Speaker 5>have that confidence.

0:58:01.840 --> 0:58:05.680
<v Speaker 3>In their knees right in their hips, you know.

0:58:06.440 --> 0:58:09.479
<v Speaker 5>And we live in a place that that of course

0:58:09.520 --> 0:58:11.880
<v Speaker 5>has multi levels all the time.

0:58:12.080 --> 0:58:15.440
<v Speaker 4>Rightly, what are we talking about, Ella, It is not

0:58:15.520 --> 0:58:16.640
<v Speaker 4>that much, but not even.

0:58:16.600 --> 0:58:18.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm talking about when you're at an airport, when you're at

0:58:18.480 --> 0:58:20.240
<v Speaker 5>a department store, like you said, when you're at a

0:58:20.280 --> 0:58:26.560
<v Speaker 5>mall right, and elevators can be extremely unreliable, but they

0:58:26.600 --> 0:58:30.160
<v Speaker 5>are so slow they have a capacity that is often

0:58:30.240 --> 0:58:31.560
<v Speaker 5>reached very easily.

0:58:33.120 --> 0:58:34.919
<v Speaker 3>You know, you gotta wait.

0:58:35.120 --> 0:58:40.920
<v Speaker 5>Like if we were reliant today just on elevators and stairs,

0:58:41.280 --> 0:58:46.720
<v Speaker 5>we would have a lot of one level ass places.

0:58:46.840 --> 0:58:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Beautiful. Okay, it looks and we've got we get to

0:58:50.280 --> 0:58:52.840
<v Speaker 4>look at the beautiful sky. There's never anything blocking are you?

0:58:52.920 --> 0:58:57.000
<v Speaker 4>Manhattan is completely completely flat? Imagine a flat Manhattan now

0:58:57.000 --> 0:58:59.720
<v Speaker 4>that would be fascinating for look good or horrifying, probably

0:58:59.760 --> 0:59:03.960
<v Speaker 4>horror horrifying. But I mean, I'm not giving you the points. Okay,

0:59:04.000 --> 0:59:06.960
<v Speaker 4>but you've got two more opportunities, so and I believe

0:59:06.960 --> 0:59:07.160
<v Speaker 4>in you.

0:59:07.480 --> 0:59:07.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:59:08.160 --> 0:59:10.560
<v Speaker 4>Number two gift or a curse And this is from

0:59:10.560 --> 0:59:14.800
<v Speaker 4>someone named Katie. Cancelation fees when you cancel or miss

0:59:14.800 --> 0:59:16.400
<v Speaker 4>an appointment last minute.

0:59:17.160 --> 0:59:18.120
<v Speaker 3>What's last minute?

0:59:18.880 --> 0:59:21.440
<v Speaker 4>Katie didn't say whatever last minute is to you.

0:59:24.880 --> 0:59:27.640
<v Speaker 3>For me personally, they're a curse.

0:59:28.840 --> 0:59:35.080
<v Speaker 5>However, if you did not put in a cancelation fees,

0:59:35.280 --> 0:59:40.560
<v Speaker 5>humans are disrespectful. Okay, your business will never get off

0:59:40.600 --> 0:59:45.040
<v Speaker 5>the ground. If you do not put in cancelation fees.

0:59:45.120 --> 0:59:48.240
<v Speaker 5>People will occupy your time and then not show up

0:59:48.320 --> 0:59:52.000
<v Speaker 5>last minute. Every single day if there is no consequence.

0:59:53.600 --> 0:59:56.479
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's just the I mean there's no way,

0:59:56.960 --> 1:00:01.280
<v Speaker 5>there's no way an entrepreneur can make it.

1:00:01.520 --> 1:00:02.959
<v Speaker 3>If there's just no way.

1:00:04.080 --> 1:00:09.360
<v Speaker 4>But for you, curse, it's a curse. You got the point.

1:00:10.600 --> 1:00:14.640
<v Speaker 4>I hate them. This is what I agree, of course

1:00:14.640 --> 1:00:16.400
<v Speaker 4>with everything you're saying, but I think you should get

1:00:16.400 --> 1:00:19.400
<v Speaker 4>one freebie with the business. Yeah, the first time you cancel,

1:00:19.480 --> 1:00:21.600
<v Speaker 4>they don't charge you. If you set up another appointment

1:00:21.600 --> 1:00:24.160
<v Speaker 4>and you canceled, then you get charged three times as much.

1:00:24.440 --> 1:00:27.440
<v Speaker 4>Then it's a real high stake situation. But you get

1:00:27.480 --> 1:00:30.680
<v Speaker 4>the most people. You know, a last minute thing doesn't

1:00:30.680 --> 1:00:32.800
<v Speaker 4>happen all the time. Yeah, so that you know, you

1:00:32.840 --> 1:00:34.320
<v Speaker 4>get the one little thing and then you know you

1:00:34.360 --> 1:00:36.000
<v Speaker 4>have to be careful from then on out.

1:00:36.360 --> 1:00:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:00:37.360 --> 1:00:41.640
<v Speaker 4>But the first time, give give me a break, Yes, happen. Yeah,

1:00:41.760 --> 1:00:45.760
<v Speaker 4>I got sick. Yeah, my family parish. Yeah, you know

1:00:46.280 --> 1:00:47.840
<v Speaker 4>I have to cancel the massage.

1:00:48.000 --> 1:00:48.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:00:48.920 --> 1:00:51.400
<v Speaker 4>So there are curse. Yeah, And I'm proud of you for,

1:00:51.640 --> 1:00:55.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, despite having all of this evidence for businesses,

1:00:55.160 --> 1:00:56.840
<v Speaker 4>you stood by what you felt.

1:00:57.320 --> 1:01:01.960
<v Speaker 5>I also find that a business it's really thriving, that's

1:01:02.000 --> 1:01:05.120
<v Speaker 5>really sought after they actually don't do a cancelation fee

1:01:05.120 --> 1:01:07.000
<v Speaker 5>because there's always somebody their weight.

1:01:07.080 --> 1:01:08.840
<v Speaker 3>They have a weight list of people.

1:01:09.280 --> 1:01:13.560
<v Speaker 5>Just but but the businesses that are that maybe not

1:01:13.680 --> 1:01:16.520
<v Speaker 5>so are really trying to build or really trying, or

1:01:16.560 --> 1:01:20.400
<v Speaker 5>maybe they're just petty. They they have those those cancelation

1:01:20.520 --> 1:01:23.760
<v Speaker 5>fees because they they're dependent on you showing up.

1:01:25.040 --> 1:01:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I think maybe the system just needs to be rethought.

1:01:28.240 --> 1:01:30.840
<v Speaker 4>If you're a regular customer, you should get one free.

1:01:31.200 --> 1:01:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:01:31.920 --> 1:01:35.440
<v Speaker 4>Then they're like they come all the time, give them

1:01:35.440 --> 1:01:35.760
<v Speaker 4>a break.

1:01:35.800 --> 1:01:36.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, here's the reality.

1:01:37.040 --> 1:01:40.080
<v Speaker 5>Someone can always say, let me see what I can

1:01:40.120 --> 1:01:41.920
<v Speaker 5>do those words.

1:01:41.960 --> 1:01:42.800
<v Speaker 3>It's so easy.

1:01:42.920 --> 1:01:45.800
<v Speaker 5>So like you know, just go in your computer, your

1:01:46.000 --> 1:01:47.760
<v Speaker 5>you you handle the system.

1:01:48.120 --> 1:01:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's so easy to negate this.

1:01:50.560 --> 1:01:55.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes, okay, number three Okay, so you've gotten one out

1:01:55.480 --> 1:01:57.440
<v Speaker 4>of two and this is you got to bring it home.

1:01:57.440 --> 1:02:01.440
<v Speaker 4>Here from a listener named logan gift your a waiting

1:02:01.440 --> 1:02:03.960
<v Speaker 4>to start eating when out at a restaurant until everyone

1:02:03.960 --> 1:02:06.880
<v Speaker 4>gets their meal, even though the person missing an entree

1:02:06.960 --> 1:02:09.160
<v Speaker 4>is insisting everyone else can start eating.

1:02:10.680 --> 1:02:15.320
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So the question is is waiting a gift or

1:02:15.320 --> 1:02:15.760
<v Speaker 5>a curse?

1:02:16.400 --> 1:02:21.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, in the particular situation, I guess is Let's assume Analise,

1:02:21.680 --> 1:02:23.720
<v Speaker 4>you and I are out to dinner. You and I

1:02:23.760 --> 1:02:26.919
<v Speaker 4>have both gotten our food. Annalise ordered a crazy thing

1:02:27.320 --> 1:02:29.320
<v Speaker 4>and it's taking a little bit longer. But Honalise is like,

1:02:29.320 --> 1:02:33.880
<v Speaker 4>please reseat, and we don't a curse, okay, And.

1:02:33.840 --> 1:02:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Why first of all, did I order hot food? Okay?

1:02:40.520 --> 1:02:43.920
<v Speaker 5>You want me to eat lukewarm food because you know

1:02:44.200 --> 1:02:46.960
<v Speaker 5>you decided to get the lasignon This says it on

1:02:47.000 --> 1:02:47.280
<v Speaker 5>the menu.

1:02:47.320 --> 1:02:49.680
<v Speaker 3>The LASIGNA is going to take forty five minutes to come.

1:02:50.360 --> 1:02:52.280
<v Speaker 5>You got to put that order in before you get there,

1:02:52.360 --> 1:02:55.840
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying. Like, I was actually at

1:02:55.880 --> 1:02:59.760
<v Speaker 5>a restaurant the other night, dare I say, maybe it

1:02:59.800 --> 1:03:04.240
<v Speaker 5>was a date and my food came out first. It

1:03:04.280 --> 1:03:07.440
<v Speaker 5>came out surprisingly fast, and it was piping hot, Like

1:03:07.480 --> 1:03:10.280
<v Speaker 5>I saw this theme coming off, and I'm like, gott it.

1:03:10.320 --> 1:03:12.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I gotta taste this. And the guy was

1:03:13.000 --> 1:03:16.760
<v Speaker 5>like he was being funny, but he was like thanks

1:03:16.760 --> 1:03:20.960
<v Speaker 5>for waiting, oh, And I was like, oh, but I

1:03:21.040 --> 1:03:24.960
<v Speaker 5>never stopped. I was like a and I just kept

1:03:25.000 --> 1:03:27.320
<v Speaker 5>eating and he's like, no, no, no, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

1:03:27.320 --> 1:03:27.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm kidding.

1:03:28.000 --> 1:03:30.560
<v Speaker 5>But I think that when food comes, you should be

1:03:30.560 --> 1:03:33.240
<v Speaker 5>able to eat the food, right, Yeah, I don't think

1:03:33.280 --> 1:03:36.360
<v Speaker 5>you should have to wait, especially if the person is insisting, like, no,

1:03:36.440 --> 1:03:39.520
<v Speaker 5>please eat, It's like, come on, what are you waiting for?

1:03:39.840 --> 1:03:44.840
<v Speaker 4>Who is this for? Of course you're right, and there should.

1:03:44.880 --> 1:03:48.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if one comes out and everybody hasn't gotten

1:03:48.360 --> 1:03:51.720
<v Speaker 4>their thing, maybe let's wait two to three minutes. Yes,

1:03:52.080 --> 1:03:53.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. If it starts to feel like it's

1:03:53.600 --> 1:03:56.400
<v Speaker 4>taking too long and people are insisting that you eat

1:03:57.040 --> 1:03:59.800
<v Speaker 4>and you don't, now you're creating a situation that no

1:03:59.840 --> 1:04:03.080
<v Speaker 4>one knows how to handle. Yes, we're all like, what's happening?

1:04:03.160 --> 1:04:05.160
<v Speaker 4>We want the person we're watching their food get cold

1:04:05.160 --> 1:04:07.560
<v Speaker 4>and there. Why are they trying to be polite? It

1:04:07.600 --> 1:04:10.400
<v Speaker 4>makes no sense. Yeah, I really think the whole rules

1:04:10.400 --> 1:04:12.080
<v Speaker 4>should probably just be kind of forgotten.

1:04:12.400 --> 1:04:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I agree.

1:04:13.680 --> 1:04:16.160
<v Speaker 4>I mean, of course you wait a minute, Yeah, wait

1:04:16.200 --> 1:04:18.880
<v Speaker 4>a couple minutes. You don't dive right in unless it's

1:04:18.920 --> 1:04:22.040
<v Speaker 4>piping hot in the steam and you want a little bite.

1:04:22.400 --> 1:04:25.360
<v Speaker 4>But for the most part, we're all adults. We know

1:04:25.440 --> 1:04:28.200
<v Speaker 4>that restaurants, the things are coming out at random times,

1:04:28.960 --> 1:04:31.160
<v Speaker 4>and food needs to be served, eating at the temperature

1:04:31.160 --> 1:04:31.840
<v Speaker 4>it's served it.

1:04:31.840 --> 1:04:33.960
<v Speaker 5>It has to be eating at the temperature is served at.

1:04:33.960 --> 1:04:36.880
<v Speaker 5>And I think that if we if we reversed it,

1:04:36.920 --> 1:04:39.880
<v Speaker 5>if we thought about it like dessert, Like no one

1:04:39.920 --> 1:04:42.920
<v Speaker 5>would ever expect for ice cream, like somebody's you know,

1:04:43.000 --> 1:04:45.240
<v Speaker 5>ice cream to come out and it's like, oh wait,

1:04:46.320 --> 1:04:49.120
<v Speaker 5>because it's like we have a clear indication, yeah, that

1:04:49.160 --> 1:04:51.560
<v Speaker 5>this thing is gonna melt. But I think people are

1:04:51.600 --> 1:04:55.120
<v Speaker 5>more comfortable with eating something that was once hot and

1:04:55.200 --> 1:04:58.360
<v Speaker 5>not hot anymore. But it's something that starts out cold

1:04:58.480 --> 1:04:59.880
<v Speaker 5>and now it's just melted in.

1:05:00.600 --> 1:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>You know.

1:05:01.120 --> 1:05:03.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's a better People are more willing to settle

1:05:03.320 --> 1:05:07.320
<v Speaker 4>if it got cold. Yes, yeah, but you shouldn't have to. Yeah,

1:05:07.360 --> 1:05:10.880
<v Speaker 4>that's why we're at a restaurant to have a good time. Yeah, okay,

1:05:10.880 --> 1:05:12.439
<v Speaker 4>you got two out of three. Yeah, not bad.

1:05:12.440 --> 1:05:13.880
<v Speaker 3>I feel like a winner.

1:05:14.080 --> 1:05:18.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, the escalator thing, you're just bombed, unfortunately, but

1:05:19.160 --> 1:05:20.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm glad to see you turn it around in such

1:05:20.960 --> 1:05:24.560
<v Speaker 4>a big way. This is the final segment of the podcast.

1:05:24.600 --> 1:05:27.560
<v Speaker 4>It's called they Said No Emails, people write into I

1:05:27.600 --> 1:05:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Said no Gifts at gmail dot com with question Scalore

1:05:31.440 --> 1:05:33.200
<v Speaker 4>and you know, I like to give back to the community,

1:05:33.240 --> 1:05:35.680
<v Speaker 4>so I'm answering the questions, I'm helping, I'm doing whatever

1:05:35.720 --> 1:05:38.479
<v Speaker 4>I can, and I'm going to force you to help me. Okay,

1:05:38.520 --> 1:05:39.000
<v Speaker 4>is that okay?

1:05:39.160 --> 1:05:39.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

1:05:39.800 --> 1:05:43.880
<v Speaker 4>Okay, This says hello bridger and disrespectful but redeemed and

1:05:44.040 --> 1:05:44.880
<v Speaker 4>esteemed guest.

1:05:45.080 --> 1:05:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's yeah, incredible they know.

1:05:47.640 --> 1:05:50.480
<v Speaker 4>They knew as someone who accepts gifts on a podcast,

1:05:50.560 --> 1:05:53.320
<v Speaker 4>how have you trained yourself to stay composed and accept

1:05:53.360 --> 1:05:56.400
<v Speaker 4>gifts so gratefully. I am quite a shy person and

1:05:56.440 --> 1:06:00.480
<v Speaker 4>find being center of attention whilst accepting a gift quite overwhelming.

1:06:00.880 --> 1:06:03.200
<v Speaker 4>My family think I'm quite quirky, so that paired with

1:06:03.240 --> 1:06:05.800
<v Speaker 4>eccentric family members that give me totally off the wall

1:06:06.040 --> 1:06:08.919
<v Speaker 4>and dare I say, undesirable gifts, it can be quite

1:06:08.920 --> 1:06:14.640
<v Speaker 4>difficult to disguise my surprise and dislike we're not done.

1:06:15.000 --> 1:06:17.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm very fortunate to have such giving family members, and

1:06:17.880 --> 1:06:20.440
<v Speaker 4>of course I adore them, but they're incredibly strong personalities,

1:06:20.480 --> 1:06:22.680
<v Speaker 4>so any birthday event really put you on the spot.

1:06:22.880 --> 1:06:25.840
<v Speaker 4>A good example of this happening in the past was

1:06:25.880 --> 1:06:28.200
<v Speaker 4>my aunt hyping up the gift she was going to

1:06:28.200 --> 1:06:31.640
<v Speaker 4>give me for a month in advance. She was incredibly excited,

1:06:31.640 --> 1:06:33.760
<v Speaker 4>and on the day I was pasted a big cardboard

1:06:33.800 --> 1:06:36.480
<v Speaker 4>box with twelve family members staring back at me. I

1:06:36.560 --> 1:06:40.640
<v Speaker 4>opened it to find a polystyrene head painted and styled

1:06:41.160 --> 1:06:44.720
<v Speaker 4>to look just like me, wig glasses and everything. I

1:06:44.760 --> 1:06:47.200
<v Speaker 4>struggled to disguise my shock and horror and felt like

1:06:47.800 --> 1:06:50.760
<v Speaker 4>Brad Pittens seven. I was so embarrassed that I turned

1:06:50.760 --> 1:06:53.400
<v Speaker 4>beetroot red, and the family bombarded me with so many

1:06:53.480 --> 1:06:55.960
<v Speaker 4>questions about it that I couldn't just politely accept it

1:06:56.000 --> 1:06:58.840
<v Speaker 4>and felt forced to admit I didn't like the polystyrene

1:06:58.920 --> 1:07:01.480
<v Speaker 4>head sat in the middle of the table. Eventually, I

1:07:01.520 --> 1:07:04.160
<v Speaker 4>was reduced to tears as I just wanted to make

1:07:04.160 --> 1:07:05.919
<v Speaker 4>my aunt happy and didn't want to make a big

1:07:05.960 --> 1:07:08.600
<v Speaker 4>thing about it. I understand this is a loaded question

1:07:08.680 --> 1:07:11.480
<v Speaker 4>that involves grace and decorum and how to navigate friends

1:07:11.480 --> 1:07:14.120
<v Speaker 4>and families, but I hope you can help. If not,

1:07:14.280 --> 1:07:16.360
<v Speaker 4>it makes for a gift horror story for your listeners

1:07:16.400 --> 1:07:19.320
<v Speaker 4>at least, I hope you both have a wonderful week,

1:07:19.400 --> 1:07:22.400
<v Speaker 4>and thank you for such a wonderful podcast. You're so welcome.

1:07:22.720 --> 1:07:26.160
<v Speaker 4>Warmest regards, Alice in England. I love when people put

1:07:26.160 --> 1:07:28.440
<v Speaker 4>where they're from, you know, it just really tells us

1:07:28.480 --> 1:07:33.840
<v Speaker 4>who we're talking to this. I've just read you a book. Yeah,

1:07:33.880 --> 1:07:36.080
<v Speaker 4>and now we've got to look at it critically. It

1:07:36.120 --> 1:07:41.520
<v Speaker 4>seems like Alice gets a bunch of horrible gifts. This

1:07:41.600 --> 1:07:44.520
<v Speaker 4>family is bad at giving gifts, and she has kind

1:07:44.520 --> 1:07:47.520
<v Speaker 4>of led them on because it sounds like the system

1:07:47.560 --> 1:07:50.520
<v Speaker 4>does not stop and it's kind of maybe peaked at

1:07:50.520 --> 1:07:54.800
<v Speaker 4>this terrifying hit in a box. What does she do?

1:07:56.200 --> 1:07:58.680
<v Speaker 4>What is the question forgotten?

1:07:58.720 --> 1:07:59.840
<v Speaker 3>I think it was twofold.

1:08:00.040 --> 1:08:03.600
<v Speaker 5>I think she is a person that has anxiety around

1:08:03.720 --> 1:08:07.600
<v Speaker 5>just receiving gifts because she said that she is not used,

1:08:07.720 --> 1:08:10.800
<v Speaker 5>she is not used to or doesn't really handle being

1:08:10.840 --> 1:08:11.880
<v Speaker 5>the center of attention.

1:08:12.720 --> 1:08:12.919
<v Speaker 2>Right.

1:08:13.520 --> 1:08:14.160
<v Speaker 3>But then on.

1:08:14.160 --> 1:08:17.439
<v Speaker 5>Top of that anxiety, she is a part of a

1:08:17.479 --> 1:08:22.439
<v Speaker 5>family unit that is eccentric, and so not only do

1:08:22.479 --> 1:08:25.160
<v Speaker 5>they shower her with gifts, but they are gifts that

1:08:25.320 --> 1:08:29.280
<v Speaker 5>she doesn't necessarily want.

1:08:29.200 --> 1:08:32.320
<v Speaker 4>Or like beautifully summed up. Okay, well, first of all,

1:08:32.520 --> 1:08:35.880
<v Speaker 4>how to get a gift with grace? You're born with it,

1:08:36.400 --> 1:08:39.599
<v Speaker 4>That's all I can say that. It's not something you learn, Yeah,

1:08:39.880 --> 1:08:41.640
<v Speaker 4>it's something deep inside you.

1:08:41.880 --> 1:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:08:43.280 --> 1:08:45.960
<v Speaker 4>Otherwise you're kind of like an animal. The rest of

1:08:46.040 --> 1:08:48.519
<v Speaker 4>society is animals, but the select few of us who

1:08:48.560 --> 1:08:52.800
<v Speaker 4>are graceful. I assume you're good with accepting a gift.

1:08:54.000 --> 1:08:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean said right. I'm not gonna say I

1:08:58.280 --> 1:08:59.120
<v Speaker 3>ain't got no grace.

1:09:01.840 --> 1:09:05.280
<v Speaker 5>I will say that I am not a person that

1:09:06.439 --> 1:09:11.760
<v Speaker 5>enjoys being gifted things. But I will probably say it's

1:09:11.840 --> 1:09:16.120
<v Speaker 5>because I don't know. I just you leave a lot

1:09:16.200 --> 1:09:18.200
<v Speaker 5>up to a person to get give you a gift,

1:09:18.240 --> 1:09:20.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, like most times, which is I think it's

1:09:20.720 --> 1:09:23.640
<v Speaker 5>amazing with you because every week someone shows up and

1:09:23.680 --> 1:09:27.080
<v Speaker 5>gives you something, and I imagine that it's mostly things

1:09:27.080 --> 1:09:27.920
<v Speaker 5>you don't want or need.

1:09:28.520 --> 1:09:32.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, you have to say it. I say it

1:09:32.240 --> 1:09:33.320
<v Speaker 3>for I'm sure.

1:09:35.080 --> 1:09:35.720
<v Speaker 4>Avocate for me.

1:09:35.800 --> 1:09:40.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we should start an Etsy shop, you know, of

1:09:40.840 --> 1:09:42.599
<v Speaker 5>all the things that you need to.

1:09:42.560 --> 1:09:44.120
<v Speaker 4>Get rid of, you know.

1:09:46.160 --> 1:09:49.160
<v Speaker 5>But I do know how to keep a poker face,

1:09:49.680 --> 1:09:53.960
<v Speaker 5>and I do exist in gratitude most times, so I

1:09:54.000 --> 1:09:55.720
<v Speaker 5>know how to be gracious and just say, oh, thank

1:09:55.760 --> 1:09:58.760
<v Speaker 5>you so much, you know, for this thing, whether I

1:09:58.760 --> 1:10:01.040
<v Speaker 5>love it or don't love it, thank you so much.

1:10:01.920 --> 1:10:04.400
<v Speaker 5>But okay, so that's one thing, right, that's just like

1:10:05.080 --> 1:10:08.160
<v Speaker 5>get used to it if you're not born with it,

1:10:08.439 --> 1:10:11.160
<v Speaker 5>you know, as Bridges said, get used to it. Get

1:10:11.280 --> 1:10:15.040
<v Speaker 5>used to people trying to do something.

1:10:14.800 --> 1:10:17.720
<v Speaker 3>Nice for you. Sure right, just get used to it,

1:10:18.280 --> 1:10:18.519
<v Speaker 3>you know.

1:10:19.520 --> 1:10:21.920
<v Speaker 5>I think that's like an esteem thing too. You don't

1:10:21.920 --> 1:10:23.000
<v Speaker 5>think you deserve nothing.

1:10:23.280 --> 1:10:25.679
<v Speaker 3>There's people out in the world to think they deserve everything.

1:10:26.200 --> 1:10:29.439
<v Speaker 4>I'm watching their careers, Skye.

1:10:29.560 --> 1:10:30.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying, so you.

1:10:30.280 --> 1:10:33.559
<v Speaker 5>Gotta think that you are deserving of at least the

1:10:33.720 --> 1:10:37.000
<v Speaker 5>thought that someone would want to give you something. I

1:10:37.080 --> 1:10:40.920
<v Speaker 5>think that it really that anxiety is rooted in like

1:10:41.040 --> 1:10:42.040
<v Speaker 5>your self worth.

1:10:42.680 --> 1:10:45.920
<v Speaker 4>Interesting. I feel like like you've really gotten to the

1:10:45.960 --> 1:10:50.439
<v Speaker 4>root of alice. It's a nice title for something, the.

1:10:50.439 --> 1:10:51.839
<v Speaker 3>Root of Alice in London.

1:10:54.120 --> 1:10:58.240
<v Speaker 5>But now, then the the second part of this is

1:10:58.280 --> 1:11:00.640
<v Speaker 5>being a part of a family who never gives you

1:11:00.680 --> 1:11:04.320
<v Speaker 5>gifts that you like. And I think that that also

1:11:04.560 --> 1:11:08.080
<v Speaker 5>is rooted in the same thing, because you're self worth

1:11:08.720 --> 1:11:12.400
<v Speaker 5>and self love. When you kind of tackle that and

1:11:12.439 --> 1:11:14.879
<v Speaker 5>your self esteem, then you'll speak up.

1:11:15.320 --> 1:11:17.280
<v Speaker 4>And let people know what you will say.

1:11:17.320 --> 1:11:23.440
<v Speaker 3>Listen, and you've used a lot of energy this past month.

1:11:24.080 --> 1:11:31.560
<v Speaker 5>To hype up yes, something that really I don't fancy.

1:11:32.280 --> 1:11:37.320
<v Speaker 5>Let's use this as a learning lesson. It's something we

1:11:37.360 --> 1:11:43.040
<v Speaker 5>should not do in the future. With love and respect

1:11:45.280 --> 1:11:48.720
<v Speaker 5>and grace. Thank you, but no thank you.

1:11:50.439 --> 1:11:52.200
<v Speaker 4>There's nothing more in the world that I want to

1:11:52.200 --> 1:11:54.360
<v Speaker 4>do than open a gift and while holding it, say,

1:11:54.560 --> 1:11:58.920
<v Speaker 4>let's look at this as a learning lesson. Can you

1:11:58.960 --> 1:12:00.160
<v Speaker 4>imagine the power you would.

1:12:00.439 --> 1:12:01.760
<v Speaker 3>It's like, you know, people don't listen.

1:12:01.800 --> 1:12:03.800
<v Speaker 5>I've gotten bad gifts from people, and then when they

1:12:03.920 --> 1:12:06.160
<v Speaker 5>in the feud, and you know, after that, I'm like, Oh,

1:12:06.200 --> 1:12:09.599
<v Speaker 5>you don't have to give me anything. Oh no, no, no,

1:12:09.680 --> 1:12:11.400
<v Speaker 5>don't you know what I'm saying? Oh do you want me?

1:12:11.479 --> 1:12:13.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna stop by? Do you want me to bring

1:12:13.400 --> 1:12:15.640
<v Speaker 5>you over something? I know what you're gonna bring is

1:12:15.720 --> 1:12:17.920
<v Speaker 5>never something I want her? E Oh no, no, no,

1:12:18.000 --> 1:12:20.240
<v Speaker 5>I got everything on no no.

1:12:21.000 --> 1:12:23.320
<v Speaker 3>You know when you go really deep into like a Barretts,

1:12:23.320 --> 1:12:23.800
<v Speaker 3>So it's like.

1:12:24.000 --> 1:12:27.519
<v Speaker 5>No, no, no, please, and they don't get it.

1:12:27.560 --> 1:12:28.720
<v Speaker 4>They'll never get us.

1:12:28.760 --> 1:12:33.360
<v Speaker 3>They still show up with you know, allive. I don't know.

1:12:35.160 --> 1:12:37.160
<v Speaker 4>Look, it's happened to me probably one hundred and eighty

1:12:37.200 --> 1:12:41.240
<v Speaker 4>five times on this podcast, so I know where you're

1:12:41.240 --> 1:12:44.519
<v Speaker 4>coming from here. I feel like we answered Alice's question. Well,

1:12:44.560 --> 1:12:46.080
<v Speaker 4>I feel like you answered it. I kind of just

1:12:46.400 --> 1:12:50.720
<v Speaker 4>leaned back and sipped my drink, which felt incredible, nailed it.

1:12:51.000 --> 1:12:52.559
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'm gonna tell Alice to get a hold

1:12:52.600 --> 1:12:56.040
<v Speaker 4>of herself. Yeah, crying over the gift. The hysterics have

1:12:56.120 --> 1:12:59.920
<v Speaker 4>got to stop, Alice. Yeah, I mean you're ruining everyone

1:13:00.160 --> 1:13:04.000
<v Speaker 4>whatever event that was. Yeah, let's let's try to get

1:13:04.040 --> 1:13:04.439
<v Speaker 4>a grip.

1:13:04.600 --> 1:13:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:13:06.280 --> 1:13:09.040
<v Speaker 4>Okay again, you answered it perfectly. I got to watch

1:13:09.160 --> 1:13:10.040
<v Speaker 4>you just kind of.

1:13:10.439 --> 1:13:14.080
<v Speaker 3>But it's but it's your addition is like it's great.

1:13:14.120 --> 1:13:18.760
<v Speaker 5>It's like, come on, Alice, come on, Alice, forget about them.

1:13:18.800 --> 1:13:21.360
<v Speaker 5>This is actually about you.

1:13:21.400 --> 1:13:25.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, a thousand. You know this family isn't to blame.

1:13:25.120 --> 1:13:27.679
<v Speaker 3>You, No, they they I mean, you know, we'll tackle

1:13:27.720 --> 1:13:28.519
<v Speaker 3>them another time.

1:13:28.640 --> 1:13:31.360
<v Speaker 4>They're each gonna write an individually, probably send a head

1:13:31.400 --> 1:13:34.519
<v Speaker 4>to the podcast. Who knows what they're capable of, their

1:13:34.640 --> 1:13:38.880
<v Speaker 4>sick people. Okay, I'm so glad you have gotten a

1:13:38.920 --> 1:13:39.800
<v Speaker 4>gift that I can use.

1:13:40.200 --> 1:13:42.439
<v Speaker 3>You know what, I just realized what this is open?

1:13:43.360 --> 1:13:48.880
<v Speaker 4>It's open, it's open, It's I trust you.

1:13:50.160 --> 1:13:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh, did I grab the open one.

1:13:52.360 --> 1:13:54.200
<v Speaker 4>I cannot wait for this to be used in court.

1:13:56.200 --> 1:13:58.280
<v Speaker 4>My family crying behind you.

1:13:58.520 --> 1:14:00.559
<v Speaker 3>Call this episode tacky, get.

1:14:04.000 --> 1:14:07.479
<v Speaker 4>But it's open but not you, and it's completely or

1:14:07.520 --> 1:14:09.040
<v Speaker 4>you taste it and you were like, oh my god,

1:14:09.040 --> 1:14:09.880
<v Speaker 4>I've got to get rid of this.

1:14:10.200 --> 1:14:11.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, how did that happen?

1:14:11.800 --> 1:14:14.400
<v Speaker 4>Interesting? Let's hope you're the one that opened it. That's

1:14:14.439 --> 1:14:17.040
<v Speaker 4>all I'm saying. If this was open to the factory

1:14:17.200 --> 1:14:20.160
<v Speaker 4>and I'm a victim of the tea killer, mmmm, that

1:14:20.200 --> 1:14:22.000
<v Speaker 4>would be a way to go. I'm fine with that.

1:14:22.160 --> 1:14:24.120
<v Speaker 3>I have so many of them.

1:14:25.040 --> 1:14:26.639
<v Speaker 4>Let this be a sign that you're out of control.

1:14:27.760 --> 1:14:30.280
<v Speaker 4>You've got to get a handle of yourself. Use the

1:14:30.280 --> 1:14:31.840
<v Speaker 4>tea you've got before you order more.

1:14:32.160 --> 1:14:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Coming to Bridge's et Sea shop and Caliba.

1:14:38.160 --> 1:14:42.360

1:14:57.880 --> 1:15:01.200
<v Speaker 4>quiet soon, so you've got to figure out what happens next.

1:15:01.240 --> 1:15:03.760
<v Speaker 4>I believe in you. You know I'm pushing you out

1:15:03.760 --> 1:15:12.400
<v Speaker 4>of the nest. Fly away. I love you, goodbye, I

1:15:12.439 --> 1:15:15.799
<v Speaker 4>said no gifts is an exactly right production. It's produced

1:15:15.840 --> 1:15:19.040
<v Speaker 4>by our dear friend Annalise Nelson, and it's beautifully mixed

1:15:19.040 --> 1:15:21.640
<v Speaker 4>by Ben Holliday. And we couldn't do it without our

1:15:21.680 --> 1:15:26.160
<v Speaker 4>guest booker, Patrick Kottner. The theme song, of course, could

1:15:26.160 --> 1:15:30.439
<v Speaker 4>only come from miracle worker Amy Mann. You must follow

1:15:30.520 --> 1:15:33.160
<v Speaker 4>the show on Instagram. At I said, no gifts. I

1:15:33.160 --> 1:15:35.479

1:15:35.479 --> 1:15:37.840

1:15:45.880 --> 1:15:46.599
