Speaker 2: they did it? They did it in twenty twenty one,

56
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: that's right. It was really controversial because of COVID.

57
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: Why they were like, well, we can't not do this

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: because we spent like a billion dollars from pairing the city.

59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: We wasted the country's money. Wow.

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 3: So that was twenty twenty one. Wow, And I just

61
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: missed them entirely. What was I doing with my.

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: I think we were all not dying, no, trying not

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: to die. Wow.

Speaker 3: I love that summer in Paris. Okay, yeah, yeah, I

67
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: don't care about the Summer Olympics.

68
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, we don't. We're not sports guys. What are

00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 4: on Paris is lovely.

72
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: Let's move on the shopping, the literature. No, I'm more

73
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: of a Winter Olympics person. If I'm gonna watch an Olympics,

74
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: you've got a lot more artistry during the summer Winter

75
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: Olympics from yeah, you've got you know, people are doing tricks,

76
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: people are leaping through the air. There's not nearly as

77
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: much leaping during summer on.

78
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: That's a great point. There's almost very little tricks and something. Yeah,

79
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think, do they have skateboarding now? But

80
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: I don't even know if that's I think they do?

81
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: Is that summer?

82
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: That's that's gotta be summer, although that could easily be

83
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: a winter indoor sports.

84
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 5: Sorry, I have to help you out, guys, gymnastics would

85
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 5: like to have a conversation with my apologies to gymnasts,

86
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 5: but yeh, skateboarding did is now part of the OHS?

87
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: Interesting?

88
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 3: Well, you know what gymnastics should be a winter Olympics

89
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: because it's indoors. What's the point you want to be indoors? Yeah,

90
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: if they want to my attention move at outdoors for

91
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: the summer Olympics, to be leaping through the air outdoors,

92
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 3: that's important interesting, okay, gymnastics, But otherwise summer there's not

93
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 3: a lot going on for me.

94
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: It's more just it's a little more basic. Right. It's

95
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: like a basketball basketball, It's just.

96
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: Literally sports sports, right, that take place all the time,

97
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: whereas these other things. It's like, how often do you

98
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: get to see somebody on ice skates?

99
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, doing tricks?

100
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure there are probably opportunities, but I'm

101
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 3: not saying do you do any sort of sports?

102
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 4: Not presently. I do hike for exercise, okay, sure, but

103
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 4: I don't like it. I would never go hiking with

104
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 4: a friend. It's a solo activity for me.

105
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: Always solo. It's a punishment you're gonna end up dead.

106
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: What do you mean solo hiking?

107
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 3: You've got to have I hope you're at least telling

108
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: someone you're leaving.

109
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean I live with my partner. I say, hey,

111
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 4: I'm not doing that Palachian trail.

112
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: It's not the Reese Witherspoon thing. What was that you

113
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: hiked all over California?

114
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: I don't know about that. And then Laura Dern was

115
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: her mom for some reason. Oh the movie the movie,

116
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, where are you hiking? I'm just going

117
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: to run in. Okay, this is your problem. Where are

118
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: you from? A complicated question. I was born in Japan.

119
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: Oh I grew up in Ohio, Okay, So I usually

120
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: just stam from Ohio, Okay, because I spent my childhood there.

121
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: Ohio doesn't strike me as a hiking It's flat. It's

122
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: flat as right. Yep. We have ski resorts and stuff,

123
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,559
Speaker 2: but it's all man made hills.

124
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: So okay, let's just put a pin in this for

125
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: one second. Because last night I was talking to someone

126
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 3: from Michigan and I said, is there any skiing in Michigan?

127
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: And he said, yes, but the ski hills are made

128
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: on old landfills. Oh I am skiing down garbage.

129
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 4: I could I believe that. I didn't even question, well,

130
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 4: people say man made. I didn't even question the process.

131
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 4: I was just like, oh, sure he.

132
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: Was made, bad man. That's not for me. You know,

133
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: you're right.

134
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 4: It's not like somebody brought a bunch of dirt and

135
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: made a mountain Like I'm sure there was already a

136
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 4: landfill there, right.

137
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: That makes so much You're just shattering my childhood. I

138
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: couldn't believe that trash.

139
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean, I don't know. That makes me think,

140
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: like those islands of trash in the ocean, we should

141
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: be turning those into like little paradises as well.

142
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: Make that kind of a fun spot to be. I think,

143
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if this is actually true or not.

144
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 4: I think Tokyo Disneyland is also made on trash or something.

145
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 4: Japan doesn't have enough land, so they made a little

146
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: island with like shit like trash, and I think it's

147
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 4: all built on top of that.

148
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: I believe.

149
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: I believe put it past Disney, yeah, I And speaking

00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: new land something.

158
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: Right, it's not like over Yeah, but yeah, you rarely

159
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: hear about a new island dropping.

160
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know much about it. Just saw, I mean,

161
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 4: doesn't look very inhabitable. It's very black right now.

162
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no no plants, right, maybe a couple of thousand

163
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: years trip.

164
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: To home depot some nice pots. Yeah yeah, yeahthing like that. Okay,

165
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: back to hiking. You didn't hike in Ohio and now

166
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: you're in run in Canyon.

167
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: Ye.

168
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: My problem with a lot of la la hiking is

169
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: it's dusty. People go to these places that are essentially

170
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: just dust piles. You walk away with dusty shoes and

171
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: you barely see anything interesting.

172
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 4: Well, this is the thing I don't see. Like if

173
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: I was really into hiking, I might go explore Malibu

174
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: or something. But I don't like it. So the dusty

175
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 4: is fine. I want to actually hate it because it's

176
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 4: I don't wanna to me. It's just like I don't

177
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: play sports, right and I don't know the exercise. But

178
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: I'm getting older, so I need to do something for

179
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 4: my body. So the more I despise it, the better.

180
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: And it's just habit, and I do that. I don't

181
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: know if you've been to running. There's two paths.

182
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: There's the normal one where it's just gravel or cement,

183
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 4: and then there's a secret path that's like harder, and

184
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: that one is dusty but also snaky. There's a lot

185
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 4: of snakes, so I've seen a couple of snakes like

186
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 4: mess around with dogs.

187
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: Oh oh, very very sad, scary. But the dogs are

188
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: really it's a dog's fault. They're like, you know what

189
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: I mean. The snake is doing its own thing and

190
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: the dog is curious. But the dogs aren't being attacked

191
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: by snakes. I've seen like one bite it, but like

192
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: they're not venomous. They're like kind of small. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

193
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: but yeah I do that one. Wow.

194
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: Well, this feels like a bad plan on your part

195
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: to make the healthy thing in your life horrible.

196
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's like, you know, I don't think

197
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 4: a gym should be fun, right, I don't know.

198
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 3: Well, actually I guess that's kind of my situation. When

199
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: I go to the gym, it's agony exactly. I don't

200
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 3: even know how, Like I can't even wrap my head

201
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: around how it would be fun, right.

202
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 4: And I also think I'm a big believer in like

203
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 4: I think humans were supposed to feel and experience like

204
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 4: the whole spectrum of things. And when I see a

205
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: snake on run in canyon, I cannot say.

206
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: I lived in New York City for thirteen years.

207
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: I've never felt that way in my life, right, just

208
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 4: like the pure like human biology, right, just like.

209
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: Your ancestors fear of snakes.

210
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 4: Study about how like humans are supposed to be scared

211
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: of certain animals because it's dangerous or whatever. Its right,

212
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 4: and like you don't really see snakes in New York City,

213
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 4: So it is just nice to feel that. It's like

214
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: a muscle that my body hasn't used in like over

215
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: thirty years. So I don't know, I just from that

216
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: from that point of view, I do like just letting

217
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 4: my body experience all of it, you know.

218
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, do you make a very good point.

219
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 3: I've never thought about that with New York You're not

220
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: going to run into a snake on the street.

221
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: And like, yes, you see like a mouse or something.

222
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: I mean when I see a rat there, my entire

223
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: body shuts down.

224
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: It's my number one fear associating truly, a spirit leaves

225
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: enters another realm. Yeah, So that for me is that

226
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: I guess your snake.

227
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 4: Sure, but I think so I've seen rats and snakes.

228
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 4: With rats, it's more of like a gross with snake.

229
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 4: Something interesting happens when you because your survival instincts kick

230
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 4: and you're like, I have to survive the snake. Oh

231
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: so it's not just it's not gross, it's like I

232
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 4: need to save my family. Yes, and that's different from rats.

233
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: So it's a different flavor. It's like a coffee, different flavor.

234
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

235
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: Interesting, it's got kind of a berry flavor, chocol Ethiopian. Well,

236
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 3: I mean, I fully disagree on My entire survival instinct

237
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: kicks in in a in the most insane way when

238
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: I see a rature disease, the teeth, the brain. That's true,

239
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: they are They're an evil creature. Yeah, but I just

240
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 3: and this is another horrifying fact. My boyfriend just told

241
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: me La now has more rats than New York because

242
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 3: of the rats are Excuse me, have you heard.

243
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 2: About the rats are?

244
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: No, this woman has been hired to eliminate rats in

245
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: New Yorky.

246
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 2: Apparently she's doing a killer job. Oh wait, I think

247
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: I've like read about this on a Vice article. Probably

248
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: doing just rat setting up traps. She's out thinking the rats.

249
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: I love she's a ar like she's from Russia. She's

250
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: really I think she's really loving that title. Wow to

251
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 2: be the rats are? Can we hire her? Bring her in?

252
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: She should be like offering her services to every Absolutely.

253
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: I will say this as far as rats and La go,

254
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: I have had a rat run across my foot in La.

255
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 2: In La, that's worse. It's worse. Can you imagine?

256
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: Because in New York you see it because the sidewalks

257
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 4: are so small and it hides into like a garbage thing,

258
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 4: So you see it for like two seconds. By La,

259
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 4: it like steps on your body and then you see

260
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 4: it run away for like fifteen Miles's.

261
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: Right, you just see like get on a bush, ye

262
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: living to the beach. And there's also the possibility of

263
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: them being in a palm tree. Yeah, now I heard

264
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 3: they live underneath the palm tree. That's why I heard underneath. Yeah,

265
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: what are you talking about?

266
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: I heard they live like because rats live underground, so

267
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: they live by the roots and stuff. But then somebody

268
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: was like, I forget what comedians said this, but they

269
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 2: were like, oh, that's such a perfect analogy for La.

270
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: It's like beautiful, right of course on top, but then

271
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: let's do lunch on top and then talking shit about

272
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: you beneath. Yeah yeah, yeah, well either way, like a

273
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: rat falling from a tree onto my head, a rat

274
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: coming out from a palm tree, I just the animal

275
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: is something I can't do. Yeah, I'm sorry that you

276
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: had to go through that.

277
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: Thank you for apologizing for the rodent, for the city's

278
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 3: Have you ever had a rat in your apartment or house?

279
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 4: Okay, first of all, I might be agnal for a seconis,

280
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 4: but do people have rats or they have mice.

281
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: I've had mice. Oh right, not If I had rats,

282
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: I would move out of That's crazy that you make

283
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: a really good point.

284
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 4: I mean that's the size of an arm, right, like

285
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 4: a rat at least at least right. So, I mean

286
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 4: I've seen when you live on the first floor the

287
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: ground floor in New York City, it's pretty common, especially

288
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 4: in the winter. I lived in Cara Gardens for like

289
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 4: a couple of years. I had a couple of mice there,

290
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 4: but our place was so I lived on a brownstone

291
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: and it was like really nice and right it was.

292
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: Cold, and I was like get in here, you know what.

293
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 3: I mean, like Carl Gardens makes sense as a mouse neighborhood.

294
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: To me, it's very cute, and but the mice are

295
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 3: so small. I don't know, I didn't have any issues

296
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 3: with it.

297
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 4: I've heard nightmare stories and people are like, oh, they're

298
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 4: chewing through our TV cables and that, Like I've heard

299
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: stuff like that that didn't really happen. I think they

300
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 4: were just sort of like cold, right, So it's kind

301
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 4: of like the intention was cute and so it was

302
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 4: like sort of forgivable. It wasn't like advocate. It wasn't

303
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 4: like gross to me. It wasn't like an infestation, but

304
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: a rat. I mean, that's that's crazy.

305
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: If you ever but it has to happen in New

306
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: York all the time. They're everywhere, They're.

307
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: In the walls. You have a rat, like.

308
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: I know, it's like having a badger or something. I mean,

309
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: it's gonna like hurt you if you get bit by.

310
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: That's you know.

311
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: Those teeth are always growing, they are, isn't that true? Yeah?

312
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: I feel like if they don't have something to chew on,

313
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: the teeth just keep growing.

314
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: Is that is it like a shark kind of thing?

315
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: Do sharks have teeth? I thought sharks were like if

316
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: you if a shark, sorry, if a shark tooth falls out,

317
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: they grew another one. You're saying they have differ ending teeth.

318
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: So you're saying with rats, it's just like growing and

319
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: eventually like the teeth hit the ground and it's like

320
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: lifting their body up in the air. It's like a

321
00:14:59,000 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: jack under a car.

322
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 4: I assume, Oh my god, yeah, I would. It would

323
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 4: take years of therapy to get rid of that. That's great.

324
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 4: I didn't even thought about.

325
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I'm being ignorant. I don't think.

326
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: I feel like my friends are not having rats in

327
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: their apartments. Purpose purposeful ignorance on your part. Yeah, you

328
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: have rats all over your place. Maybe maybe they were

329
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: probably cleaning the floors for you. Bro, that's crazy.

330
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I'm just stating reality. I've had close

331
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: encounters with rats in New York, very close to my

332
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: living spaces, not in you know.

333
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 4: They call like the computer mouse a mouse because it's

334
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 4: like the size of a mouse. That's I even think

335
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 4: that's pretty big. But I would say a rat is

336
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 4: easily three times as big of a computer, just imagually.

337
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 2: That's crazy. There should be a computer rat. That's not

338
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: a paronomic you know, it goes to your elbow. It's

339
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: like a full glove almost. Yeah, a computer mouse, computer rat.

340
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: Somebody must have thought of that. But there were people

341
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: who've had rats in there.

342
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: No, and if I did, I would cut them out

343
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: of my life because they're like they're leading the situation

344
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: that there is.

345
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: Maybe your listeners have rats. I mean that's to me.

346
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a thing, but maybe I'm wrong.

347
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: Listener, if you have rats, I don't know, hit pause

356
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 4: You know, the writer's strike was happening, so like a

357
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 4: lot of us started looking for other ways to make

358
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 4: money and seeing what else we could do with our

359
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 4: common I'm a comedian, by the way. I don't know

360
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 4: if you guys knew that, and so I started like

361
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 4: touring a little bit on my own. Sure, stand up,

362
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,880

363
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 4: like I have a team, but like I think that

364
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 4: and this is not a throwing shade at them, but

365
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 4: I truly feel like, you know, it's not really worth

366
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 4: their time to like plan a whole thing for me

367
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 4: unless I have like so many more followers and stuff

368
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 4: like that, right exactly, So like I can only do

369
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 4: it in major cities, but I just sort of like

Speaker 4: that I did that.

392
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: Did you have a favorite city you visited?

393
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 4: Uh, Chicago pie best for comedy in my opinion, what

394
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 4: a beautiful city. It was interesting And that was the

395
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 4: other thing is too, I haven't really done comedy other

396
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 4: cities before, not an hour of stand up, right, And

397
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 4: so I'm sort of picking up on the cultural you know,

398
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 4: things of each city. And yeah, Chicago, New York LA.

399
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 4: I like Chicago New York very similar. I think there's

400
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 4: like a drinking culture there too.

401
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: They're a little dirty.

402
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 4: They're not stupid, but you know, they're smart, but they're

403
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 4: a little dirty. Not like necessarily content wise, but you know,

404
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 4: they're like physically dirty people.

405
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 2: Dirty like kind they're kind of like raw in a way,

406
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: you know.

407
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 4: And I but when I did Toronto and Seattle, they

408
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 4: were more like they're really more like hmm, you know kind.

409
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: Of it's pullover culture. Yes, yes, it makes sense.

410
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know they're doing that thing one of the

411
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: thing they like they sail on a surfable.

412
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that's handled, you know. I mean so

413
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: like it's just a little bit more like m PR

414
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: vibes right right. Yeah, the which is nice, which is

415
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 2: there was just nothing wrong with that, But I like

416
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: to do a little of both, right, So that was

417
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 2: kind of like to experience. That was kind of interesting

418
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: for me to figure out, like what the personality of

419
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: each city firsthand? Nice?

420
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: And were you uh like booking the flights and the

421
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: hotels all by yourself?

422
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, baby, this makes me panic.

423
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not doing like a different

424
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 4: city every weekend, you know, I seeing like once one

425
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 4: or two a month or whatever. But yeah, it's but

426
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 4: you know, I've always been like a very organized person,

427
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 4: so it can be a little time consuming, but like

428
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 4: I can do it.

429
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 2: It's fine. And how long were you spending in each

430
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 2: of these cities? Like a day or two?

431
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 4: I think there was a part in the beginning when

432
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 4: I started this like tour, I would I'd be like, oh,

433
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 4: I'm going to Seattle. I got to stay for a

434
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 4: couple of days, but then you realize, like, I'm not

435
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 4: there on vacation, right, So like after the show is over,

436
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 4: it's like it's not like I have friends here, so.

437
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 2: I'm like bored loneliness. Yeah, and so the same thing

438
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: with Chicago.

439
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 4: I staid a couple of days after to like just

440
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 4: do some shows, and I was like, I could have

441
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 4: just gone home.

442
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, it was just kinda Yeah.

443
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 4: That was when it hit me that I think for

00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 4: a long time, stand up in comedy has just been

445
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 4: like this fun thing that I was doing, and as

446
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 4: it slowly turns into like a thing I'm doing for

447
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 4: money or thing I'm doing professionally, it turns from like

464
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: But I was like, Oh, I would do a tour

465
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 3: like cities with bakeries I want to visit.

466
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 2: But I'm like, that's not why you do it. That's

467
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 2: you go on a vacation to do this. Yea.

468
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Actually, if you did that, you would love the

469
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 4: pastry bakery part, and then you would hate the show.

470
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 4: So why don't you just take the money and go

471
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 4: right go to France or wherever it is?

472
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 2: Exactly?

473
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 3: There would be like a total of nine minutes that

474
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 3: I enjoyed, and then the rest would be an unbelievably

475
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 3: stressful time for me. So I've got to I've got

476
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: to reprioritize. Yeah, my what I do.

477
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 4: I respect that though, and I think as you get older,

478
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: you become more honest with what you want, and it's

479
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 4: like bridge are like your croissance guy first, then comedy, podcasting,

480
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 4: TV writing, but first and foremost, like let's get you

481
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 4: a nice little tart, you.

482
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 3: Know, right, and above all of that, just sitting on

483
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 3: my couch, just in quiet.

484
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: I've been on.

485
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 3: I was in New York a week and a half ago.

486
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: I have to go to Utah in four days, and

487
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: then I got back to New York two weeks later.

488
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: I'm stressed beyond stress.

489
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also not to say about traveling.

490
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 4: And I don't know if you can hear my voice

491
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: because I've been traveling a lot for comedy and like

492
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 4: my job and stuff like that. I feel like I

493
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 4: get sick a lot more. Oh, of course cold because

494
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 4: I'm flying so much.

495
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: Bugs galore Germans. I hate that.

496
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 4: I hate that so much. I got sick at the

497
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,719
Speaker 4: end of my Chicago trip. I'm kind of getting over

498
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 4: cold right now.

499
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's just but it's like you don't even think.

500
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: About that aspect of it as you travel, you know,

501
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 4: And I'm using the mask and stuff, But I truly

502
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 4: think it's just because I'm using my body, like from

503
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: my altitude.

504
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, your body is unbelievably exhausted. There's no defenses

505
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 3: less just too careful, careful. You know tours not to

506
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: tell your managers. I'm done touring. The tour is you know,

507
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 3: we started it three minutes ago and it's over. Or

508
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 3: I'm done with the touring life. I'm not one of

509
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 3: the rolling stones. Oh look, we have to talk about

510
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 3: something else. There's something I need to talk to you about.

511
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 2: Okay.

512
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 3: I was really excited to have you here today. I

513
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 3: was looking forward to having Fumi on the podcast. I thought,

514
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: we'll have a nice time. We'll talk about whatever we want,

515
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: We'll get to know each other, then we'll move on

516
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 3: with our Sundays Sabbath Day. Let's be honest, it's a

517
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: holy day for me. I'm headed to church after this.

518
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 3: I thought we'd have a good time. So I was

519
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 3: a little surprised. I host a podcast called I said

520
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 3: no gifts. I don't know if you're aware. I assumed

521
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: there were emails, phone calls, texts galore to you, and

522
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 3: at some point the name of the podcast must have

523
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: been mentioned. So it's a little surprised you show up

524
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 3: and you have a gift. I mean, it wasn't even

525
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: like you weren't even trying to be coy about it.

526
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: You just said this is the gift. You had it

527
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 3: in a unique wrapping paper.

528
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: I'm sorry the wrapping paper. Well, I'm glad you're sorry about

529
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: least one of these things.

530
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

531
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 2: Is this a gift for me? Absolutely, it's a gift

532
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 2: for you. Okay.

533
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 3: Well, it's in kind of a padded envelope. Should I

534
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: open it here on the podcast?

535
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Okay, let's get into this.

536
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 3: I love the squishy padded where Let's see what was

537
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 3: this usually you?

538
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 2: Okay?

539
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 3: Was this a was this a screener? It's from Elite Logistics,

540
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 3: which I am familiar with.

541
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 2: That return address.

542
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 3: I now have your full address, so you'll probably be

543
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 3: receiving mail from me.

544
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 2: What was the screener in here? I don't remember. This

545
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: was a Oh I bet this was a like a screenplay,

546
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: right for your consideration, wasn't the DVD? It was like, oh,

547
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: here's a huge piece of paper, I have to throw.

548
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 4: A DVD or maybe a yeah, you're right, the actual manuscript.

549
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 3: Right, or there was like oh, maybe there was like

550
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 3: a cardboard insert or something, but you can't remember.

551
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 2: And realized we're gonna look into the return at this

552
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 2: is crazy.

553
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit of a p I a little

554
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: bit of a private investigator. Okay, well, let's dip into

555
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 3: this and I'll pull out whatever's happening. Oh we got

556
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: it here.

557
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 2: Oh oh this is a real gift. Dog. Wow.

558
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 3: This is great in a lot of ways because i've

559
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 3: it's pockey, which is the snack that every well, I

560
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 3: don't know if everybody's had it, but everybody loves when

561
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 3: they have had. But I've never seen And this is

562
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 3: where it gets very controversial for me, because it's not

563
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: I've only ever seen chocolate pocky, maybe strawberry.

564
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 2: This is is it.

565
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 3: Honeydew candle though, which I think is deplorable. I mean,

566
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 3: I think is one of the most divisive fruits in

567
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 3: the world. Absolutely, yeah, okay, go ahead.

568
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 4: Okay, So when your producer hit me up to this podcast,

569
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 4: I was traveling, I was in I just came back

570
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 4: from Japan. Okay, oh there recently, yes, And I was like, oh,

571
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 4: this is perfect because I would just get them something

572
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 4: weird from Japan, right right. Just gifting as a concept,

573
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 4: if you just talk talk about that for a second.

574
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 4: Germany people love gifts. Anywhere you go, they ask if

575
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 4: you want a gift wrapped. The gift wrapping in Japan,

576
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 4: it's it's so much wasting, wasting of the plastic, but delightful,

577
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 4: but delightful. Yes, as you'll see each individual pockey as

578
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 4: you can see on the side as a plastic wrap.

579
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, not like speaking of is wrapped in plastic.

580
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like one of those little things with

581
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: the powder that you dump into a drink.

582
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, so, but that's a special Canalop edition seasonal

583
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 4: pockey because it's like the winter times. And I was

584
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 4: also traveling all over Japan and I actually got that

585
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 4: when I was in Hokkaido, which is like the very

586
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 4: top part of Japan.

587
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 2: Okay, the part was closest to Russia.

588
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 4: And I guess they're like known for melons or something,

589
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, this would be fun.

590
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna try this in a minute. But I'm

591
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: gonna you know, we're gonna wait, We're gonna build anticipation

592
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 3: because this is gonna be a thing that could ruin

593
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 3: the podcast after I try it. We'll open it soon.

594
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, I guess most melons are kind of wintery

595
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: fruits other than watermelon, I associate that with summer.

596
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 4: I don't you know, it's interesting. I eat cannleobs and

597
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 4: melons all year long. I never really associated a season

598
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 4: to it, right, So I didn't know.

599
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 2: That you're eating them all year long? Do you have

600
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 2: them in your fridge? I just I love melons, Like,

601
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: I'll just I'll get the cut fruit whole foods or something. Yeah,

602
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: pay the premium. I don't care.

603
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: Wow, I don't know that I've ever met somebody who

604
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 3: cares about candle op or honeydew to the like.

605
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: I know people who will be like, oh, it's in

606
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 2: the fruit salad. Sure, I'll eat it.

607
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: Mmm.

608
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 2: But to your seeking it out, Well, here's the thing, Yes,

609
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 2: I'm seeking it out.

610
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 4: Also, this, this might be the best or the worst

611
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 4: advice of a gout when it comes to gifting things.

612
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 4: I heard once in a TV show I cannot remember.

613
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 4: They were like it was the plot of the episode

614
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 4: is about like, I don't know what to get so

615
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 4: and so a gift. And the advice that he gets

616
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 4: is if you don't want to get someone a gift,

617
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 4: you should get.

618
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 2: Something you're excited about.

619
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 4: So I saw this and I was like, oh wait,

620
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 4: I love cattalops. And so it's like, I'm just gonna

621
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 4: get you that because holding this box is so exciting for.

622
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: Me, and it is like a beautiful box. It's very open,

623
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 2: and you're like I.

624
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh duh, obviously, like I got this based

625
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 4: on what I like.

626
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: There's no way.

627
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: But it makes those at least an interesting gift. It's

628
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 3: an interesting gift. No one's bored by this gift. I'm

629
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 3: kind of shocked and scared of it. Yeah, you're delighted

630
00:28:59,400 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: by it.

631
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 2: I want to, you know, I wanted you to experience something, right,

632
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 2: it'll be a new experience.

633
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I mean during Christmas and the holidays, when

634
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: I'm shopping, I'm frequently and this is probably just some

635
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 3: narcissism on my part. When I'm looking for other people's things,

636
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 3: I'm getting very bored and like, I don't like looking

637
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: at this sort of thing on the internet. I want

638
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 3: to look at things I want to look at, but

639
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 3: that's not what I'm supposed to be buying. But maybe

640
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: I should just start buying people the exact things I want, Yeah, and.

641
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: Make my life a little easier because I think the

642
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: anxiety goes away because it kind of feels like you're

643
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: buying it for yourself, right, and so you already check

644
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: that box of like, oh, I feel good about purchasing

645
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: this right, and then whether they like it or not

646
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: is very it's out of your control. It's very therapy

647
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: vibes this method. You know, I did my best. I

648
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: did my best with this gift. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm

649
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: starting to realize I'm bad at giving gifts.

650
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: Oh okay, it's taken me a long time to realize this.

651
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: Occasionally I make a good gift, but for the most part,

652
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 3: I'm too stressed out by it.

653
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 4: What makes you believe that you are bad at gift giving?

654
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 4: Has you've gotten direct feedback?

655
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 3: Well, I send out a survey, I say, fill out

656
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: the survey and next time you'll get five dollars off

657
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:13,479
Speaker 3: your order. You're conducting bucket research, Yes, exactly, survey monkey

658
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 3: dot com. No, I I haven't gotten feedback. But when

659
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 3: I'm buying the gift, it's just I don't know. I'm

660
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: in a full panic, and then I don't. I think

661
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: I actually have gotten feedback, and it's from my nieces,

662
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 3: who you know, are seven and under. So you get

663
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: pretty honest feedback, you.

664
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 2: Know, kind of say something this. I completely forgot I

665
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: did this.

666
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 4: I'm I'm also i think I'm not as good as

667
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: of a gift giver as I think I am, because

668
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: I think when you get some feedback, at least they're

669
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 4: engaging with the product, right, And so especially if they're

670
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 4: younger too, it's like even if they're like, oh, like

671
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 4: Uncle Bridge, that sucks or.

672
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: Something like, that's kind of funny still right.

673
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 4: Right when I got to Japan, I hadn't seen my

674
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 4: uncles and aunts in a while, and I'm like, and

675
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 4: they're like completely suburban people. They live maybe like kind

676
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 4: of on like where the airport is, so it's like suburbs,

677
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 4: like New Jersey suburbs in Japan, right, And I'm like,

678
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 4: what do I get these people? So I was like, okay,

679
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 4: what's like cool? And I'm like, what would I get

680
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 4: a friend in America? And so I was like, okay,

681
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 4: Like one time I sent it a friend's apartment for

682
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 4: a week and I got her like a candle from

683
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 4: like dip teek, right, And I was.

684
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: Like, that's a nice gift.

685
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: So I got her like an expensive candle from dip

686
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 4: teek and I gave it to her when I first

687
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 4: landed and I saw her again on my last day

688
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 4: and she never said.

689
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: Anything about the killing. So I'm like, that's the worst

690
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: is when there's no engagement. Oh right, so cold, that's

691
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: so cold. But it's like, dude, does she not She's not.

692
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: This is not a candle household? They did it not?

693
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: Did she not like the smell?

694
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 4: I feel like if I gave my grandma something and

695
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 4: she hated it, she really roast me. And again, there's

696
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 4: some engagement there that I can laugh about or be like, Okay,

697
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 4: that didn't work.

698
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: But no feedback. It's the worst. Oh and then you,

699
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: I mean, for the rest of your life you'll wonder yeah,

700
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 2: I know. And it was kind of expensive too. I

701
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: was like kind of upset about it.

702
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 3: You're not a cheap candle. You're not getting that a

703
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: clearance at Target. You know, Well, well, the next time

704
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 3: you're there, you'll have to just investigate snoop and see.

705
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: If she's Canada yah. Yeah.

706
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 3: Oh and if she hasn't, you take it back put

707
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 3: it in your Yeah. Okay, So you were in Japan

708
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 3: for how long? I was there for about I was

00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,040

Speaker 2: but this is the time in my brain, I know.

712
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: But the thing is, I don't not to get super

713
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 2: inside industry, but I feel like people in this like

714
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: career have this thing where like you just never know

715
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:31,920

Speaker 2: end of the year, and that's fine.

720

Speaker 3: like two weeks.

745
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: So I have another confession to make.

746
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,400

747
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,040

748
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 4: so what I don't know who you were when you

749
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 4: when you guys hit right right was looking through your profile.

750
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, this man very well dressed, similar

751
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 4: in size. I feel sure, what do you guys like us?

752
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 4: What do we what do we struggle with?

00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 4: hammed or like and he spent like the thirty buckskin tailored,

774
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 4: which is fine, But that feeling of the perfect fit,

775
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 4: like the Cinderella vibe, I just I never get to

776
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 4: experience that here. So when I do, I get high

777
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 4: from it. I just try on cloth just from like to.

778
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 3: Be shopping in the adult section and there are like multiple.

779
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 2: Options, multiple multiple Yeah. I did some like vintage shopping.

780
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: There have you done that? Oh? Yeah, of course. I

781
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 2: think that's crazy too, because they're buying stuff from America

782
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 2: and it still fits me. Because they're just finding things, right.

783
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: They're finding things that will fit like average people in Japan. Yeah, yeah,

784
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 3: I mean it was it was another world for me.

785
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like the US in the last

786
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 3: probably ten to fifteen years, has finally started to at

787
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 3: least realize there are smaller people, at least smaller men.

788
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 3: But uh, it's still hard. You go to places and

789
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 3: frequently they start with a medium.

790
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's just not happening for me. A medium.

791
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 3: I mean the pants I'm currently wearing were the smallest

792
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 3: I could find and they're still too big for me.

793
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and the medium thing too is like

794
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 4: people always like because when I try and close, not

795
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 4: that I'm buying from like boutiques that often, but sometimes

796
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 4: I'm just going and be like, oh this is kind

797
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 4: of cool.

798
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: I'll tie on, and they'll be like, well, like baggy

799
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: is in right now. I'm like, not for me, No,

800
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 2: not for me.

801
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 4: I think Baggy's in if you have like nice like

802
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 4: swimmer shoulders, right, if you're a big person, if you

803
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 4: have a.

804
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: Nice body, the baggy looks cool. But if you're small,

805
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 2: you just look like you're wearing your older brothers.

806
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, You're like there's like two of you underneath

807
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 4: you and sneaking into already a movie or something.

808
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, so it's not it's no good.

809
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the recent turned towards like bag your larger clothing.

810
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't.

811
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I just I need something that you can

812
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 3: at least seem that I'm like a human shape otherwise,

813
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: like it's just flashbacks to middle school and things being

814
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 3: even bigger.

815
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 2: Than they were. Yeah, absolutely too much for me.

816
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 3: Okay, so what else did you do while you were

817
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 3: in Japan other than shop?

818
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: Oh?

819
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 2: I did go to one of those like hot spring places.

820
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: I love hot springs. I love it so much.

821
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 4: It's one of the reasons why I refuse to get

822
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 4: a tattoo, because they don't let people in with tattoos.

823
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: Right, which is a wild rule.

824
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 4: I know some places are starting to do it because

825
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 4: a lot of they're getting tourists and right they have

826
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 4: tattoos without being involved with That's like the main reason

827
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 4: why they didn't do tattoos in the beginning.

828
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 2: So I did that and that was really amazing.

829
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 4: We got like a we kind of splores like this

830
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 4: room that had like a private hot spring in your room,

831
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 4: but also like a public one that was like very beautiful.

832
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 4: So we did both and that was amazing. But what

833
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 4: was annoying is because I was traveling so much. The

834
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 4: week before I went to Japan, I was in New York,

835
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 4: and then before that was in Chicago. I got sick

836
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 4: as I got to Hokkaido, will be like paid for

837
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 4: this like amazing hotel. And so when you're sick, you're

838
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 4: not really supposed to like bathe and stuff like that,

839
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 4: because it like I don't know.

840
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: I just mean, what, okay, I'm I'm stopping you. Have

841
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: you heard that before? You're not supposed to bathe when

842
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 2: you're sick.

843
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 4: Well, I heard when you have a cold, it's not

844
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 4: good to like this is mom science. My mom would

845
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 4: always say, when you're sick, don't like shower because then

846
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 4: when you get out of the shower you get cold

847
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 4: and it makes.

848
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 2: You more sick or something. I don't know.

849
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 4: My girlfriend, it's not Japanese, was like, that's bullshit. I

850
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 4: don't know how you're talking about. So I did end

851
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 4: up getting in the bath and it was fine, but

852
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 4: it's those things that kind of yeah, so.

853
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 2: You're not fully enjoying it.

854
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 3: Even if you know, like logically, this isn't making me

855
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 3: more sick, but it's like something nagging.

856
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it does make it kind of like it

857
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: didn't ruin it.

858
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 4: But it's like, oh my gosh, I paid so much

859
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 4: money for this beautiful thing and I'm not able to

860
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 4: enjoy to the fullest.

861
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 2: So that's kind of annoying. But I actually think that

862
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 2: that where's the cop car?

863
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 3: Where's the ambulance they're driving around the yard? Uh, what

864
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 3: could the emergency possibly be? There's nothing more important than

865
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: this podcast? Shut it down? No, I feel like that

866
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 3: kind of worked out in your favor. I feel like,

867
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 3: I mean, your mom and I probably will end up

868
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 3: in a huge fight over this, but I think you

869
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: should be in a hot spring when you're sick.

870
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what my girlfriend was saying, because she was like,

871
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 4: maybe i'll sweat out the I don't know.

872
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 2: Either as scientists, so we don't really.

873
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 3: I'm also going to say I've been playing a lot

874
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 3: of Zelda this year. When you get in a hot

875
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 3: spring and Zelda, it makes you healthier, you get it.

876
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: Gives you more hearts. Yeah, I don't think about that.

877
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 2: I think Zelda Trump's your mom.

878
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 4: Okay, So okay, So the bath was fine, but this okay,

879
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 4: you got I'll send you the spot if you want

880
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 4: to go again.

891
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 4: to seven, like accessible by the chef. He would like

892
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 4: put food there. It was awesome. But the thing is,

893
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 4: I was saying Christ moment a little bit. Yeah, but

894
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 4: it was a little creepy, and like, you know, if

895
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 4: you're like being I don't know, if you're just like

896
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 4: in your private like walking around naked, you're like, can

897
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 4: the chef just come in the moment, which he didn't.

898
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 4: You can also close like the other door that goes

899
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 4: into that room. But I was like I've never had

900
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 4: that before, and that was amazing.

901
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 3: Wow that I mean, yeah, I don't know of any

902
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 3: other place you could possibly have that happened where you

903
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 3: just have a chef that has some pervert access to

904
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 3: your room.

905
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 2: That was a perfey chef, wasn't he. I don't. It's

906
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 2: so crazy because I couldn't tell if it was. I

907
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 2: don't think he was just sitting there the whole time.

908
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 2: I think it would not hume up and prep and

909
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: and you hear him breathing all yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

910
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 2: Was he a good chef? Well yeah, I mean the

911
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: meals were amazing.

912
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 4: It's just that like at dinner, I just had like

913
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 4: this massive headache and I like really couldn't eat most

914
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 4: of it, and so I was like that I was

915
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 4: really annoyed about it.

916
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, of course, that's horrible. One of the best

917
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 3: meals of my life I had at the beginning of

918
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 3: strep throat, and so I wasn't able to enjoy any

919
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 3: of it.

920
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

924
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 3: a and okay, this is also let's say this is

925
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 3: pre COVID, pre everything. And I didn't at the time, No,

926

927
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 3: that irresponsible, but not a moment of it was enjoyable

928
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 3: for me.

929
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 2: It looked beautiful? Is it because you couldn't taste anything

930
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 2: or just were sick? It was like that weird like

931
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: feeling of like it it just doesn't taste good, right right,

932
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 2: and your appetite goes away? I think it.

933
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 3: Right, You're just like, oh, for whatever reason, every other

934
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 3: moment of my life I love eating food, and for

935
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 3: whatever reason now it feels like a chore.

936
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 2: Right right. Do you have a like a place or

937
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 2: city that you like to go to, whether it's like

938
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,120

Speaker 2: get food.

941
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a good question, I'm I would probably say,

942
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 3: I mean the things I really focus on our cookies.

00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 3: Okay, there's now this place I have. There's a caveat

959
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 3: because a lot of what they do I don't approve of.

960
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 3: It's called and this is a recent discovery for me.

961
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 3: It's called funny Face Bakery. Okay, And the majority of

962
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 3: the cookies they make are sugar cookies that are kind

963
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 3: of like decorated like memes.

964
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 2: Oh I hate that.

965
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 3: Not not into it. God bless people if they enjoy that.

966
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 3: I'm not paying they're like thirteen dollars to get like

967
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 3: the latest meme or Kim Kardashian.

968
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 2: As a cookie.

969
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 3: Yeah no, no, no, no, but they're chocolate chip cookie. Unbelievable,

970
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 3: funny face baby. Yeah, that's what they should be focusing on.

971
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,959
Speaker 3: Give it to the chocolate chip cookie. Dump the rest

972
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 3: of that.

973
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: Although I'm sure they're like it's corporate sales or whatever.

974
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 3: The I'm sure to custom cookies or whatever. That's a

975
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: really good one. Oh there's a place called I think

976
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 3: it's called Culture Espresso, which is kind of a mini

977
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 3: chain in New York, and they have a very good

978
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 3: chocolate chip.

979
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 2: Cook if that's a restaurant or it's like it's like

980
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 2: an espresso place. Oh my god, are so deep? Oh

981
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: my god, you have no idea. I'm interested. I've got

982
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 2: a list of places I need to go. Do you

983
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 2: ever go back?

984
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 4: And so I had this weird experience and I actually

985
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 4: want to ask you about this because and maybe you

986
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 4: can relate with the cookie thing. So when I was

987
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 4: in Japan, like I hadn't gone back in a while,

988
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 4: and you know, people always say like, oh, They've got

989
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 4: the best food in Japan, and they do. But because

990
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 4: it's been a while, I have all these memories of like, oh,

991
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 4: like even like the little bento box from seven eleven

992
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 4: is good, you know, and I go there and like,

993
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 4: obviously when you go to a nice restaurant, it's amazing,

994
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 4: but like I had a couple of those like little

995
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 4: like rice ball from a seven eleven or whatever it is,

996
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 4: and I this time I went, I was like, oh,

997
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 4: it's actually not that good. And I was thinking, like,

998
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 4: you know that thing that happens to like, I forget

999
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 4: what it's called. It's like the New York hot dog

1000
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 4: effect or something. Have you heard that.

1001
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 3: No, I mean, this is already making sense to me,

1002
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 3: but someone.

1003
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 2: Says like, oh, the hot dogs in New York used

1004
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 2: to be so much better, and it's like they're not

1005
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: the hot dogs the same, just that you're now thirty

1006
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 2: four and you've eaten better things and so it just

1007
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 2: doesn't taste as good as when you were seven or whatever.

1008
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 4: Right, So I had these moments in Japan where I

1009
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,760
Speaker 4: was like, oh, wait, this used to be so much better,

1010
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 4: and I was like it's not. And I was like

1011
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 4: it made me sad a little bit, of course, because

1012
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 4: it was like this in my memory, it's like this

1013
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 4: perfect place where I can go to anywhere and get

1014
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 4: this amazing food, and it's like no, it's not just

1015
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 4: like any other major see, like you got to know

1016
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 4: where you're going, Yeah, and someplaces suck and that's okay.

1017
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 4: And it kind of like we had a couple moments

1018
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 4: like that enough that I was like, wait, is food

1019
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 4: in Japan like not good anymore? Like what's happening right now?

1020
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 4: It was kind of a scary feeling.

1021
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna stand up for Japan right now and say,

1022
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 3: the only example you've given is seven eleven so far,

1023
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 3: So I don't know that you have a ton of evidence.

1024
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm willing to believe there were other experiences

1025
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,479
Speaker 3: where you went to some crap hole and they serve

1026
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 3: you bad Japanese.

1027
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, like some Mesa Kaya spy And I was like surely,

1028
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 4: like this is gonna be good, and it was kind

1029
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 4: of like not.

1030
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 2: It was interesting.

1031
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 3: I will say when I was in Japan, every all

1032
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 3: of the food I had across the board was excellent,

1033
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 3: I mean very good and like surprisingly cheap. I mean

1034
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 3: I was eating like and also way more unhealthy than

1035
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 3: I should have been. I was eating literally like a

1036
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 3: probably two pounds of ramen with fried chicken, like truely

1037
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 3: like that I walked away without having a stroke is crazy.

1038
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1039
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 3: The only bad thing I had was in Kioo at

1040
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 3: one of the.

1041
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 2: Conveyor belt sushi place.

1042
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, see, converta bel sushi is like that's known

1043
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 4: as like the cheap sushi, right, So if someone says

1044
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 4: I've only had converta belt sushi, they're making a joke

1045
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 4: saying like I could never afford real sushi where a

1046
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 4: guy makes it and puts it in front of you

1047
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 4: or whatever. So yeah, I mean also sushi, that's tough

1048
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 4: because if you have money, you can get really excellent

1049
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 4: sushi in like pretty much every major city. I think,

1050
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 4: forcially La, you can get really amazing sushi. Yes, in La,

1051
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 4: probably better than a lot of places in Japan, but

1052
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 4: you are paying a lot of money in you, right,

1053
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 4: So I was thinking about that too, where like I

1054
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 4: think La just has great food, and so my standards

1055
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 4: a little bit higher.

1056
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 2: Even in New York too, there's like great zakaias in

1057
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 2: New York.

1058
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 4: So this place I was eating at in Japan was like,

1059
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 4: this place is ass And I was like, I've had

1060
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 4: better food in like New York.

1061
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, but that's because in New York.

1062
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 4: They have like they people come from Japan and they

1063
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 4: like they try to like recreate that experience and so

1064
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 4: it's more expensive, but a lot of times it is

1065
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 4: better or whatever it is, you know.

1066
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,479
Speaker 2: So it made me sad.

1067
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 3: I don't know, Well, you've lost something you'll never get back, unfortunately.

1068
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1069
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 3: I do think living in La or New York has

1070
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 3: spoiled me unbelievably with food where I just and also

1071
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 3: getting older and having had so much food at this

1072
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 3: point where I've become even pickier and my standards are

1073
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 3: so things I did used to love are not so

1074
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 3: much now right, just drag.

1075
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 2: I wish there was a way to like revert your taste.

1076
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's almost like it's like the ignorance is bliss,

1077
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 4: but apply to your tongue.

1078
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, yeah, you.

1079
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 3: Have like a full like what is it when they

1080
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 3: the old thing they did with your brain the bottoming bottom? Yes,

1081
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 3: your tongue, yes, lo bottomize my tongue.

1082
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 2: Go man, hitting that reset button in your tongue. That

1083
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 2: must be crazy. Can you imagine? It?

1084
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 3: Actually would probably be a nightmare because you think about

1085
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 3: babies are able to eat like four things without screaming

1086
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 3: because things are too much for them.

1087
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 4: I'm just also thinking, like, because now I like, I

1088
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 4: enjoy beer, but I would hate it again.

1089
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 3: That'd interesting those acquired tastes. I feel like I can

1090
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 3: eat just about anything at this point and enjoy it. Actually,

1091
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 3: this is a good segue to trying the pockey.

1092
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 2: Should we Yeah?

1093
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 3: I think we should open it up and see how

1094
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 3: I feel about I mean, obviously, like, what a cute package,

1095
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 3: even as these little hearts. What is happening? Okay, it

1096
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 3: says share happiness. That's very sweet.

1097
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna hand you one. Have you had one

1098
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 2: of these yet?

1099
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: Have not?

1100
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 2: Oh? Wait? They are individually right, and they're also enormous.

1101
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I gotta say, Japan's chill on the

1102
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 4: plastic wild It's too much.

1103
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 2: This is crazy.

1104
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 3: This is Yeah, they're these ones. I'm used to Pocky

1105
00:47:58,320 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 3: being like half the same.

1106
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 2: This is a special, like special one.

1107
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 3: These are almost like a Cruella Deville cigarettes size O.

1108
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 3: The smell, it's like, oh, the smell is lovely, I

1109
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 3: will say, And this might change my you know how

1110
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 3: I feel about melon and honey.

1111
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 2: For the way you guys feel about this point. Okay,

1112
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 2: we're all gonna try it. That's cheers.

1113
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 3: Okay, it's fine, Fine, it's fine. It tastes it tastes

1114
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 3: like the worst starburst. Yeah, yeah, the starbursts that I like,

1115
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 3: picked up in the dark and ate not knowing it was.

1116
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 2: It's a fun concept, right, it's okay.

1117
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,240
Speaker 3: And then yeah, the combination with the biscuit is weird.

1118
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 3: The biscuits good, right, The biscuit on its own would

1119
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 3: be good. But it's not like chocolate and salt, where

1120
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 3: it's a nice combination. This is like a It feels

1121
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 3: forced a little bit. And I hate using this word

1122
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 3: in any situation. I think it's such an annoying word.

1123
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 3: But funky, funky, I'm gonna say it tastes like fungus

1124
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 3: in a bad way. But you're into it or you

1125
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 3: don't mind it.

1126
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 2: See. I think this is one of those things where, like.

1127
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 4: I've just eaten so much pocky in my life, I

1128
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 4: just know what they're trying to do, right, and that's

1129
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 4: enough for me, you know what I mean, Like, I

1130
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 4: don't need it to taste amazing.

1131
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 2: I just know what they were trying to do, and

1132
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 2: that what I taste.

1133
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 3: It tastes almost like cheese a little bit, hona least

1134
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 3: do you what do you think, Hona Least does not

1135
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 3: look happy.

1136
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 2: That's starbars a Now he's perfect though.

1137
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 4: It is the worst starboards, right, it's the worst melting

1138
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 4: it on a stick, Yeah, exactly, hont Least, you're not

1139
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 4: into it.

1140
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 2: It's like a It's a bizarre experience.

1141
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 4: I would never like if I went to the store,

1142
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 4: I would never get this if this would not be

1143
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 4: like no, I would get like chocolate or strawberry.

1144
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 2: Or whatever, like a more you know, typical flavor.

1145
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1146
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this to me is fascinating.

1147
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's I feel duped a little bit

1148
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 4: because the box is so nice and they're like special,

1149
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 4: seasonal edition or whatever. Right, they're even they even I

1150
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 4: can't read this, but they're saying, we use this specific

1151
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 4: kind of candle up called yubari. I don't even know types,

1152
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 4: so they're like, we use this expensive.

1153
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 3: Wow, I wonder how much candle ope is actually used

1154
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 3: in this product? Oh it since, I mean, who knows

1155
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,240
Speaker 3: there is this twenty six percent?

1156
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 2: Say twenty six percent? Do you think that's what it is?

1157
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 3: Interesting? I mean, it's just I'm not gonna say it's disgusting.

1158
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 3: I am going to say it's something that no one

1159
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 3: should eat. But maybe by the time I finished this

1160
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna try to finish it by the end

1161
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 3: of the podcast, I can't do it all at once. Wow,

1162
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 3: maybe I'll have acquired the taste.

1163
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean it's not it's not great. It's not like, oh,

1164
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 2: I'm having a treat. No no, no, no no.

1165
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 4: This feels like you know when people go into a

1166
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 4: place and they're like, this is the hottest hot sauce ever.

1167
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 2: Like kind of those things were like a gag gift almost.

1168
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, I can iagine like buying this for

1169
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 3: the holidays and the whole family trying one and being like,

1170
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 3: well we went through something.

1171
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

1172
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 3: Okay, So you said that it seems like beer was

1173
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 3: an acquired taste for you. Were there any other foods

1174
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 3: that you hated that you've grown on you? I mean

1175
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 3: I used I used to like not yeah, like ferment

1176
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 3: that stuff.

1177
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 2: I didn't really like. What I didn't like kim chi.

1178
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 4: I didn't like fermented soybeans, which were like huge Asian diets.

1179
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 4: I love both of them. Now I'm trying to think

1180
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 4: of other things. Hmm, what was yours?

1181
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 3: Maybe that all I would say fermented stuff is one.

1182
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 3: I think it's probably kind of a universally at least

1183
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 3: at first challenging thing to eat. Yes, where it's like

1184
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 3: because I think it's almost like a an evolutionary thing.

1185
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 3: Probably where it's like for fermentation is like it's old

1186
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 3: and it's like, well, is a body thinking oh this

1187
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 3: could be rancid?

1188
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 2: Yes?

1189
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 4: I also like the way you make it. You like,

1190
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 4: you make it go bad on purpose, right, That's what

1191
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 4: the right sounds like.

1192
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, you're right. I think it is your body

1193
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 2: just rejecting it. Right. But then once you're right get

1194
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 2: into it.

1195
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, there's nothing else like this because other

1196
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 3: food isn't rotten. And pickling, I think, is a similar

1197
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:14,280
Speaker 3: thing I had. I didn't like pickles until maybe seven

1198
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 3: years ago. Really yeah, and then I finally had a

1199
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 3: good pickle and I was like, oh.

1200
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 2: And then it broke down. I don't like a sweet pickle.

1201
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 2: I don't like sweet pickles. That's so funny.

1202
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 4: When I first moved here to the States in ninety eight,

1203
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 4: other than Ohio, my neighbor's dad or my friend's dad

1204
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 4: would make pickles and like the fills you get from

1205
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 4: the backyard, right, and I just thought that was like

1206
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 4: the best thing ever.

1207
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 2: I was like, pickles are so good, but that's because

1208
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 2: I was eating at homemade right, like unbelievable yelievable.

1209
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like a pickle should be pretty easy

1210
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 3: to make, right what what.

1211
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 2: What changed seven years ago? I mean, I don't know

1212
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 2: how you were, but I was adult.

1213
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 3: Well, I was six and my kindergarten teacher brought some pickles. No,

1214
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 3: I had some at I had some with like a

1215
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,720
Speaker 3: good shwarma place, and they were like they were probably

1216
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 3: made there or whatever, and they were just unbelievable tasting.

1217
00:52:59,040 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 2: And now all the.

1218
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 3: Well, I had it in the sandwich, No, just as

1219
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 3: a side dish, and I thought I'm going to try it,

1220
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 3: and it was immediately good wow, And then I was like, oh, pickles.

1221
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 2: Must be good.

1222
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I still will say no pickles on my hamburger,

1223
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 3: but it's just like there can only be too many

1224
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 3: vegetables on a hamburger, or like four layers of vegetables

1225
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 3: then it stops tasting.

1226
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 4: And I've always felt like the pickles redundant because I

1227
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 4: a would get the crunchy from.

1228
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 2: This lattice right exactly twice exactly. And also the whatever

1229
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 2: texture from the tomato.

1230
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 3: It's just too much. But I'll ask for the pickles

1231
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 3: on the side and eat them. But those are the

1232
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 3: two real acquired the thing. The one thing I still

1233
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 3: have an acquired to taste for is black lickorice, although

1234
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 3: I feel like it's sneaking up on me.

1235
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 2: Wait, is that what rutpier is made of? No? That

1236
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: what is? Whatever that is? I can't do it. Rutier,

1237
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 2: I think is maybe a combination of things.

1238
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 5: No on a lease, so many more things than I

1239
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 5: was expecting to see. All spice, birch, bark, coriander, juni

1240
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 5: for ginger, winter green hops, burdic root. I mean this

1241
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 5: is probably not rock root.

1242
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 3: It's the coriander. I feel like coriander is a strong flavor,

1243
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 3: and I bet I think that's kind of like black licorice.

1244
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 2: That's yeah, turning you off? Yeah, yeah, I'm not crazy

1245
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 2: about root beer. It's too sweet for me. Is twizzlers

1246
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 2: black liquorice?

1247
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 3: No, Twizzlers is just a chewing product. It's more of

1248
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 3: like a chew toy.

1249
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,919
Speaker 2: I thought it was Okay, I was wrong.

1250
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry. I misspoke.

1251
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 2: That was like early. That was early root beer.

1252
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 5: Now the main flavor profile is at the heart of

1253
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 5: its winter green profile with secondary vanilla anise.

1254
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:39,919
Speaker 2: Oh anie is blacklicks horrible and early. But twizzlers are.

1255
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 3: Just kind of like it's like a hard wax that

1256
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 3: has a light I would say cherry flavor. Okay, yes,

1257
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 3: but there is black licorice that they probably have black

1258
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 3: lickorice twizzlers, which are just now bad tasting twisslers.

1259
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 4: This is bringing back memories of when I was when

1260
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 4: I moved to High on the second d. Do you

1261
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 4: guys have those like markers that smelled Oh, of course, yeah,

1262
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 4: the black one was licorice, that's right. I always wonder like,

1263
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 4: what is this because everything else is like strawberry.

1264
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 2: Like Metland or some rainbow color, a little bear.

1265
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,919
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, I've eaten all these things, but I've

1266
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 4: just never seen I didn't know what a black licors was.

1267
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 4: I was like, what, Like, who would ever? Why did

1268
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 4: they make it a flavor? They could have made us

1269
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 4: some chocolate or something like.

1270
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 2: I just so baffled by that color and flavor.

1271
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's such an unpleasant, divisive flavor. I feel like

1272
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 3: the marker people could have. There's certainly some dark foods

1273
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 3: that could have made that that people would appreciate.

1274
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 2: Make it beef smelling, make it barbecue.

1275
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 3: Burnt, toast, bred right, anything but black licorice. But yeah,

1276
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 3: root beer black licorice. That doesn't quite work for me.

1277
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 3: But I do like a nisse when it's in things

1278
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 3: has started to taste good to me. So maybe black

1279
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 3: licorices around the corner just feel like an like a

1280
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 3: food you get to in your like mid sixties.

1281
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 2: That'll be fun.

1282
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've always wanted to enjoy a root beer float,

1283
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 4: but I never I hate hate.

1284
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 2: Root beer floats. I'm so glad you don't like root beer.

1285
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 2: I don't mind root beer, but it's ice cream. I

1286
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 2: hate it.

1287
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 3: I mean, I I'll never order a root beer because

1288
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 3: it's so sweet, But like, if I drink it, I'm like,

1289
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 3: that's fine, But then you're putting vanilla ice cream in.

1290
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 2: It all disgusting.

1291
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it reminds me of boy Scouts, which is

1292
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 3: another is what boy Scouts is about. Basically root beer

1293
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 3: floatings and like tying knots, two things I'm bad at.

1294
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 2: I can barely tie my shoes. My little sister taught

1295
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 2: me to tie my shoes.

1296
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,720
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, which is probably my parents are probably worried,

1297
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 3: probably like, oh he hasn't he can't tie his shoes,

1298
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 3: and now the younger.

1299
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 2: Sibling is coming along. Whoa.

1300
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 3: But that's why Boy Scouts was pure Hell. I cheated

1301
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 3: my way through the entire program. Were you ever in

1302
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 3: Boy Scouts?

1303
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,240
Speaker 2: I was not. I didn't.

1304
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 4: My parents didn't understand what it was. I still don't

1305
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 4: understand what it is either. It's hard to explain it.

1306
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 4: Like it's like I just learn good values.

1307
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 3: I guess you're supposed to learn good values and skills

1308
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 3: like survival skill, like you go camping, you go camping,

1309
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 3: you make crafts.

1310
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 2: It's like an after school activity. No.

1311
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 3: For me, it was like tight in with our church.

1312
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,879
Speaker 3: So then it was another element, a Christian element. There

1313
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 3: was a very Mormon element to it.

1314
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 2: I think.

1315
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 3: X Mormons until just a few years ago, we're like

1316
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 3: the biggest consumer of Boy Scouts.

1317
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 2: I don't know they.

1318
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 3: A percentage of Boy Scouts Mormons. And then the Mormon Church.

1319
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 3: I think because Boy Scouts became kind of gay friendly,

1320
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 3: the Mormon Church was like no more, which great pr move,

1321
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 3: excellent pru and so they finally I think cut ties

1322
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 3: with them. But it was all tied in together for me,

1323
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 3: and so it's just not a great time.

1324
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 2: I will have to say, I bet you look real

1325
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 2: cute in a boy.

1326
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 3: Scout everyone, but everyone's scout. I mean it's a cute,

1327
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 3: little snappy outfit. You know, there's that Wes Anderson movie

1328
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 3: where everyone's basically in a boy Scout uniform. The Rabbit

1329
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 3: one Move, Shine Kingdom, Yeah, wait, moon Rise, a bunch

1330
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 3: of drunk children, and the Appalachians.

1331
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 2: No.

1332
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 3: I everybody looks cute in a boy Scout uniform, but

1333
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 3: the thing itself is horrible. I guess, like in theory,

1334
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 3: it's not a bad idea.

1335
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 4: There was also see I also didn't understand that the

1336
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 4: difference been boy Scouts and Cub Scouts.

1337
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 2: That was the thing at my school, right, Well then

1338
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 2: they looked the same.

1339
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 3: They Well I can tell you cop Scouts. I think

1340
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,479
Speaker 3: you're a Cub Scout and who you're like eight years old? Okay,

1341
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 3: and then boy Scouts are like older. But it's the

1342
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 3: same different organizations as far as I know. Cup Scouts

1343
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 3: is way cooler, though. You get to be different animals.

1344
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 3: You're like a Wolf, you're okay, bear whatever. Yeah, and

1345
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 3: then you get into Boy Scouts and it's just a

1346
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 3: bunch of boring who knows.

1347
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 2: What right you can do it to your eighteen.

1348
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then after from my experience, when people continued

1349
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 3: doing it, there were red flags glore.

1350
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 2: Of course, I think if you go past age of twelve,

1351
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 2: it's kind of yeah, it's like one red flaggy.

1352
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 3: But I am an Eagle Scout, which is the top

1353
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 3: top top Scout.

1354
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 2: But I will say again, I cheated.

1355
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,959
Speaker 3: I cheated through so many of the merit badges, and

1356
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 3: I disavowed the entire organization. Wow, well not actually, who

1357
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 3: knows if it even exists anymore. I don't know, but

1358
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 3: it seems like they were making a good turn.

1359
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 4: Now, when you're an Eagle Scout, don't have to do

1360
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 4: stuff to get that or to graduate.

1361
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 3: You have to like get a bunch of merit badges,

1362
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 3: which are like the different skills. So you're like, I

1363
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 3: got the personal finance merit badge, I got the not tying.

1364
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 4: So I did marching band in high school and there

1365
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 4: was a kid who was like in the Boy Scouts

1366
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 4: or whatever, and we were like, I don't know, sixteen

1367
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 4: seventeen at the time, and his little project was he

1368
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:49,479
Speaker 4: built a big tower that our music director could hop

1369
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 4: on and see what like if we're landing upright during

1370
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:53,479
Speaker 4: marching band.

1371
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 2: He like built this tower. He bought a built a panopticon. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

1372
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 2: But I didn't. I I just thought it was so

1373
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 2: he did it for free. I think. I just I was.

1374
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 4: I didn't understand any of it. Oh, I mean, it

1375
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 4: was very useful and I'm glad he did it, but

1376
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 4: I was like.

1377
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 3: Well, this is a to get your ego scout, you

1378
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 3: have to do a service project.

1379
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 2: That's what it was.

1380
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 3: So I collected like used clothes for the hospital, like

1381
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 3: people coming out of the hospital, which was like good

1382
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 3: thing to have done. And I didn't cheat my way

1383
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 3: through that part. So there are good parts. But this

1384
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 3: project that this person did was very odd. To build

1385
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 3: the tower for the person to stand on.

1386
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 2: How big was it?

1387
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 4: I mean, like the purpose of it is to look

1388
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 4: down at the marching band to see that the formation

1389
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 4: is correct. So it's quite tall, like I don't know,

1390
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 4: thirty forty feet. I don't know what was it made

1391
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 4: of wood and like pipes? I don't know, dude, I

1392
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 4: don't bang it like metal pipes. That sounds dangerous if

1393
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 4: it fell over to be dangerous, but like he's an

1394
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 4: eagle scout, so he had he got the knots right.

1395
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 2: I don't know to trust a child with that. I

1396
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 2: was just thinking about that, actually, I was saying it.

1397
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 3: That is, the school district should have stepped in and

1398
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 3: been like this, we're putting one of ours in danger.

1399
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 3: But I guess school districts don't really care about that anymore.

1400
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 2: Anyway. I don't know.

1401
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 3: Anyway, so exactly, yeah, wow, well I guess that beats

1402
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 3: my service project. But I at least I wasn't putting

1403
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 3: people in immediate danger. Yeah, and also like this weird

1404
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 3: security element that this person has.

1405
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 2: It's like there's no privacy to.

1406
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 4: Think about how how quickly it got past, Like he

1407
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 4: was like I want to do it, and then he

1408
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 4: did it, and there was no one to be like, hey,

1409
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 4: maybe he's not a good.

1410
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 2: But no one stops him and balances. They just all

1411
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 2: carried on like it was normal. Ring. Now I have

1412
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 2: the talent of it, I know, I think it's still there.

1413
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 3: That's wild. Good for him, who knows what he was thinking? Okay, well,

1414
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 3: I've had the pockey. I'm gonna take another bite so

1415
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 3: I can make it through. There you go, not loving it.

1416
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 3: I'm to try to chew up. It's weird because it's

1417
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 3: not like it's not dangerously unpleasant. No no, no no,

1418
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 3: but it's not good.

1419
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 2: It's not good. So it's fun to get. Yeah.

1420
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 3: Oh, the aftertastes it hit you. It's time to play

Speaker 3: good luck to everyone involved. This is how we play

1455
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 3: Gift or a Curse. I'm gonna name three things. You're

1456
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 3: gonna tell me if there are a gift or a

1457
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 3: curse and why, and then I'll tell you if you're

1458
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 3: right or wrong. Okay, because there are definitely correct answers here,

1459
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 3: and you can fail, you can win, you can do

1460
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 3: a mediocre job.

1461
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 2: Up to you. Okay.

1462
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 3: This first one is from a listener named Nicole. Gift

1463
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 3: or a curse? Coughing without covering your mouth when you're

1464
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 3: outside with no one around?

1465
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 4: Wait, coughing with a your mouth outside when no one

1466
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 4: is around? Is that a gift or curse?

1467
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 2: Yes? I thought there are gonna be like powers or something.

1468
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 4: I thought you want to say, like the ability to

1469
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 4: cough without sound or something.

1470
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 2: Ah, is that a gift?

1471
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess that's a gift because if you

1472
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 4: were sick, you're not really giving it to anyone, you know.

1473
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 4: But it's also a curse because like why you're out

1474
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 4: there all home? Coffin put you there? You know, not

1475
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 4: gonna go as a curse? This is this is a curse.

1476
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 2: Okay for me wrong? You should have trusted your instinct.

1477
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 3: Look, how often do we get to just let it

1478
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 3: all hang out, getting to just be You're out in

1479
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 3: the wild, you're coughing up a storm. You don't have

1480
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 3: to worry about anybody. Uh, you know, so often we

1481
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 3: have to cover our mouths while coughing. But when you're

1482
01:04:54,840 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 3: out in the wilderness coughing, who cares spread the disease

1483
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 3: through the air.

1484
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure listeners are probably screaming right now. But you're alone,

1485
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 2: so there's nothing, there's no no one can be harmed.

1486
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 2: Actually that's as far as I'm concerned. Can you give

1487
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 2: a virus to like an animal? You can't write like

1488
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 2: if there's stuff, you know, things jump from species to

1489
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 2: species rare and if you it's kind of an achievement,

1490
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 2: if you've happened to do it. Yeah, to be the

1491
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 2: person that gave squzero squirrels like a new cold, yeah,

1492
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1493
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 3: Okay, so definitely a gift and you did get it wrong, Okay,

1494
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 3: thank you.

1495
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 2: Number two.

1496
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 3: This is from a listener named Jade. Gift or a curse.

1497
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 3: Hollow chocolate bunnies.

1498
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 4: Hollow chocolate bunnies. Okay, I don't eat a lot of

1499
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 4: chocolate bodies.

1500
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 2: What's in it? Usually like a cream?

1501
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 3: No, I believe it's just literally the shape of a bunny.

1502
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 3: But inside is you know, a cave emptiness of.

1503
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 2: Oil instead of it being super dance with chocolate.

1504
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 4: Right, Oh, this is a This is a gift because

1505
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess it also depends on like where

1506
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 4: you're in your life.

1507
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 2: But for me, I love sweets. I have a problem sweets.

1508
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 2: I love cookies. I love cake.

1509
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 4: That's my vice and I'm always trying to cut down

1510
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 4: my sugar intake, and so I feel like I think

1511
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 4: I think a lot of adults are trying to cut

1512
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 4: down the sugar intake, right, And so this is a

1513
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 4: gift because it feels like.

1514
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 2: You're eating a whole bunny. But really, if you do

1515
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 2: the math, you're probably eating like fifty percent of them,

1516
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 2: if not even less. And that's you're tricking your body.

1517
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 2: That's tight, correct you.

1518
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 3: I love there's a fragility, there's a you know, it's

01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 2: fun at all. That's a project. I also love the

Speaker 4: love that part, but don't actually.

1539
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 2: Don't actually do it. But yeah, tho, this is a curse.

1540
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 4: Is a curse because because here's the thing, if your

1541
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 4: neighbors were like weird or assholes or you don't get along,

1542
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 4: you don't have to know that, and you have to

1543
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 4: live by each other for like a long time, so

1544
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 4: it's just better to leave it alone. If you get

1545
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 4: dinner and something weird happens, he makes a weird comment

1546
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 4: about your shirt or your wife or something, now it's.

1547
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 2: All weird right now. You and I guarantee the food's

1548
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 2: gonna be okay, the food I be that good. Okay.

1549
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 2: They're probably gonna give you cattleg pocky. You never don't

1550
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 2: know what. They're gonna give you some plate full of

1551
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:06,959
Speaker 2: it eat.

1552
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, So there's no like best case scenario, like yeah,

1553
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 4: you get like a free meal, but you're just risking

1554
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 4: way too much. And if I feel like, just judging

1555
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 4: from talking to you, I'm guessing your listeners are similar

1556
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 4: to you. I'm film more all risk averse, right, this

1557
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:24,600
Speaker 4: is to risk, this is this is a curse. You

1558
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 4: don't do it, Absolutely a curse. These people are not

1559
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 4: inviting you over out of the goodness of their heart.

1560
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 4: Now they're snooping.

1561
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 3: Ooh, this is just like an information discovery mission for them.

1562
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 3: They you're there, bringing you over to get as much

1563
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 3: of you as possible, as quickly as possible. Wow, it's

1564
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 3: not a natural way to get to know somebody a neighbor.

1565
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 3: You want a neighbor, you need to see each other

1566
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,759
Speaker 3: on the way to the mail or taking the garbage

1567
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 3: out and a little small talk. Let that build over

1568
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 3: a few months. Then you have dinner. Once there's you know,

1569
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 3: once you can trust each other. But if somebody is

1570
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,799
Speaker 3: immediately inviting you over, they want something, yes and there,

1571
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 3: they'll stop at nothing to get it.

1572
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 4: Ooh't I didn't even think about like the spy conspiracy

1573
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 4: theory aspect of it.

1574
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 2: I love that.

1575
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,679
Speaker 3: Nosy, Yeah, nosy, I mean some boys, that's good because

1576
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 3: now you know your neighbor's nosy. Yeah, but think of

1577
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 3: all the information you're giving up. Yeah, yeah, so it's

1578
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 3: a curse. Yes, that sounds awful. I mean, I just

1579
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 3: the order I get, the less social I am, and

1580
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:28,679
Speaker 3: I just can't. Oh yeah, I just can't. No, I've

1581
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 3: got like a forty minute cap at parties. I regret going.

1582
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 3: I'm trying to avoid socializing in any possible situation. And God,

1583
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 3: a new neighbor inviting me over for dinner. No, thank

1584
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 3: you get to know me in the driveway. Okay, you

1585
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 3: got two out of three.

1586
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. You started off on a horrible note. Well,

1587
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 2: I didn't know how this.

1588
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 4: I didn't know if we're going, like literally, because you know,

1589
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 4: some people play a game and they're trying to be

1590
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 4: like weird.

1591
01:09:55,840 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 3: You know, excuses, excuses, sore losers aren't not welcome on

1592
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:01,719
Speaker 3: this podcast forum.

1593
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 2: Two out of three. Not bad.

1594
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 3: Okay, this is the final segment of the podcast. It's

1595
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 3: called I said no emails people right into I said

1596
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 3: no gifts at gmail dot com. They have questions, I

1597
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 3: get into the inbox, I copy them into my dock

1598
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 3: and I try to help these people.

1599
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 2: Oh that's great, Will you help me help. Absolutely.

1600
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 3: Okay, this says dear Bridger, and then parentheses guest name here,

1601
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 3: So dear Bridger, Fumi and analies, we're all welcome here.

1602
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 3: Let's see it says my first child will be arriving

1603
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 3: on planet Earth in a few weeks. A sweet friend

1604
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 3: gave me and my partner a baby doll with an

1605
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 3: embedded speaker that plays breathing and heartbeat sounds. This is

1606
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 3: supposed to be comforting to the sleeping human child, giving

1607
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 3: them the impression that they are not alone in this

1608
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 3: cold world. We love this friend and appreciate the thoughtfulness

1609
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 3: of the gift, but medical experts say that it's unsafe

1610
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 3: to put toys in the baby's bed until they are

1611
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 3: a year old. And this doll is just a little creepy.

1612
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 3: Do we keep it for a year and give it

1613
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 3: a try or return it?

1614
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:05,679
Speaker 2: No, you don't return it? What do you mean return

1615
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,799
Speaker 2: it to the gift giver. That's so weird, dude. No?

1616
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 2: What No? You throw it away in secrecy or do

1617
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 2: you use it?

1618
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 4: That's that's crazy to be like, Hey, actually this gift

1619
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 4: is really creepy.

1620
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 2: So no, thank you, that's no, that's insane giving somebody

1621
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 2: back a gift is a very funny effect, even because

1622
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 2: an option is alarming to me.

1623
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 3: I think, I mean, I'm actually you know, we've got

1624
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 3: this doll that's breathing, it's making noises. If you were

1625
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 3: to leave that on their porch, that's a good way

1626
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 3: to return it. Say nothing, it's just out there breathing.

1627
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 3: That's not about it's not about option. But it is

1628
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 3: a little scary. I'm gonna say, though, Get this a

1629
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 3: live doll in the bed with your baby as soon

1630
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 3: as possible.

1631
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 2: Get it in there.

1632
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 3: Who knows from movies, we know that these dolls that

1633
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 3: are lifelike, only good things.

1634
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,639
Speaker 2: Can come of it. This regard to the medical experts,

1635
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 2: medical experts, what do they know? Right, right, right?

1636
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 3: And we've got this little doll with an embedded speaker. Obviously,

1637
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 3: the neighbor is listening. In the conspiracy theory, I love this.

1638
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 3: The neighbors like got their ear to a little radio

1639
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 3: and uh or it's the friend or whoever. I'm thinking

1640
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 3: about nosy neighbors all the time, apparently, but they're listening,

1641
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 3: and they want to hear your baby breathing. And what

1642
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 3: could be sweeter than your friend wanting to secretly listen

1643
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 3: to your baby breathe.

1644
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right about the being sneaky thing.

1645
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 4: It's a speaker, it's a walking talking right, you're listening

1646
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 4: on your family.

1647
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 2: Your friend is a freak.

1648
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 3: Your friend is trying to get information on your family

1649
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:38,640
Speaker 3: or baby, and they've gone out of the way to

1650
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 3: do it, so you have to give them credit.

1651
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, where are they?

1652
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:45,600
Speaker 4: I'm just like wondering what the thought processes of like

1653
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 4: gifting something like that, Like they have to first buy,

1654
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 4: they have to find something as on the internet and be.

1655
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 2: Like, wow, what a great product.

1656
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 4: Right, So that's step one, like to not be like

1657
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,559
Speaker 4: that's fucking weird, just to be like just without even

1658
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 4: the gifting thing, great product, and then you buy it

1659
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 4: and then you like this would make Yeah, I don't know,

1660
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 4: but see I get scared because my sister just had

1661
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 4: a baby, and I think she's always trying to get

1662
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 4: him to not get used to certain things.

1663
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 2: Right.

1664
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 4: So some parents won't use a pacifier because they don't

1665
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 4: want them to get used to certain things, oh right, right,

1666
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:16,560
Speaker 4: And so getting used to us pacifier and having the

1667
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 4: need to put something in your mouth like a thumb

1668
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:19,720
Speaker 4: when your baby's like three or four.

1669
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 2: It's not the end of the world. It's actually kind

1670
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 2: of cute.

1671
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:24,719
Speaker 4: But like, if this baby gets used to this weird friend,

1672
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 4: his robot friend, like you know, if he can't eat

1673
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 4: or sleep without it.

1674
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:31,639
Speaker 2: Suddenly it's more family to the baby than the parents.

1675
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely me.

1676
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 4: You get a bing on an airplane now when you travel, like,

1677
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 4: what will their parents think?

1678
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 2: Like it's gonna tell the family apart.

1679
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 3: It's going out on little trips with the baby. It's alone,

1680
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 3: who knows what's happening. Yeah, an Lisha's brought up the

1681
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 3: baby or what could be the baby.

1682
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,360
Speaker 2: Kind of cute, Okay, I was picturing something else.

1683
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,680
Speaker 3: Now, this is a strange looking baby. It's I don't

1684
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 3: even know how. It almost looks handmade in a way

1685
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 3: that's somehow not that scary, but that I mean that

1686
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 3: almost might become more scary.

1687
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 4: I was picturing like a brats doll, like with the

1688
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 4: stomach with like the open top.

1689
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,639
Speaker 2: I was literally picturing like the speakers on the stomach.

1690
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 2: I don't knowize it was a separate I don't know

1691
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 2: they're sold separately. What what doll or baby have you

1692
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 2: ever seen that made you think that's about? It was.

1693
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 4: Well, I think when you said it was they were

1694
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 4: listening in, I thought of like, oh, it's homemade.

1695
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 2: And then something I was picturing like a doll, like

1696
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:32,799
Speaker 2: an American girl doll in a bonnet. Yeah, I was vibes.

1697
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, hotly, What do you think they should do with

1698
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 3: this baby?

1699
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 5: Well, if there's a speaker, and I mean, I think

1700
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 5: you need to test your theory about whether or not

1701
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 5: the friend is trying to listen in. So I think

1702
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 5: that the first thing they have to do is start

1703
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 5: talking ship.

1704
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 2: On the neighbor. Yeah, on the name or the friend.

1705
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, so smart, because then if the friend freaks out,

1706
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 3: you're like the gotcha, yep, wow.

1707
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 2: Very well played.

1708
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 4: You gotta do something with specific You gotta like ship

1709
01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 4: on some sweater that they wore, right.

1710
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

1711
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,679
Speaker 3: Then observe, observe Yeah what I mean the mind games

1712
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 3: you're suddenly playing with this person. But that's what being

1713
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:09,879
Speaker 3: in a friendship is all about, the mind mind games,

1714
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 3: and you know, just psychologically torturing each other. Well, uh,

1715
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 3: I think we answered no, I know we answered this

1716
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:21,719
Speaker 3: question perfectly. Somewhere in there the perfect answer lies.

1717
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 2: Uh, you definitely keep it for a year and let

1718
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 2: it take over your baby's life.

1719
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of the solution here. And uh,

1720
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 3: don't write in again. I don't ever want to hear

1721
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:33,719
Speaker 3: from you again.

1722
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 2: Fum. I'm not going to finish this pockey.

1723
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,600
Speaker 3: That's okay, I you know, but it is going to

1724
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 3: be in my cupboard as a little thing to let
