00:00:09 Speaker 1: I invited you. 00:00:10 Speaker 2: Hear I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guess to my home, you gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guess, you're on presences. Presence enough. I already had too much stuff, So how did you dare to surbey me? 00:00:49 Speaker 1: Listener, you're going to hear the same information from me in just a moment. But I think it bears repeating that the live show at Dynasty Typewriter is August twenty second, and if you're not there, I'm going to lose my mind. If you're listening on the release day of this podcast, August twenty second is tomorrow, So there's urgency here, so don't delay. Go to Dynastytypewriter dot com. We're going to have such special guests Lauren Lapkis, Tarren Killem, and Vinnie Thomas, three of my all time favorites. Everybody loves their episodes. I loved their episodes. They're coming on and then on Aalise Nelson, who you may be familiar with, and Jimmy Smagoula, you may be familiar with. Two people I'm actively trying to remove from my life, are going to be performing a song with my friend James Girard. The song is the theme song, and I'm vaguely aware of what they're doing, and it seems like it's going to be spectacular. The talent on display is going to be world class, and then I'll be giving away some gifts that I've been given on the show. It's going to be a very nice time. And we're also live streaming where you'll get be able to get in the chat, and there's a good chance my mom, Debbie Wineger, will be in there, and I expect you to be kind Debbie, and she'll be kind to you. She'd get really nasty. So go to Dynasty typewriter dot com to buy tickets or get the live stream. No excuses, welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Bridger Weineger. We're here in the studio. I got here just moments ago. Usually I try to get here, you know, at least ten to fifteen minutes before, but I wasted my time this morning, absolutely wasted it, and so I'm just arriving. You know, I just got off the freeway, so in a lot of ways, I'm still going seventy three miles per hour. If you can feel that energy. What else is going on? The live show is uh August twenty second. Hopefully you're listening to this before that. It's a Dynasty typewriter, or you can live stream it. Do whatever you want, but you have to do one of those two things. There's no third option. M it's Monday as we're recording this. What happened over the weekend, and I bought some storage bins and cleaned out my closet. Now the good Will bag is sitting in my car, so I look forward to that being in there for the next two to three years. We'll see how long it takes me to get there. But there are some good items in it. There's some good clothing and a few board games. So beyond the lookout at Goodwill and I think, I think that's everything. That's that's my life. I'm just so unbelievably thrilled about today's guest. I think he's so funny. It's Pete's eyes, Pete welcomed, I said, no gifts. 00:03:32 Speaker 3: Well, thank you for having me. 00:03:33 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm so happy. I have obviously learned a view through Instagram because you're the only good thing left on the service than you, and recently you've you've had a lubooboo situation. 00:03:49 Speaker 3: I have a victim of a labooboo crime, a kidnapped bing. 00:03:55 Speaker 1: What happened you? You've got one? 00:03:56 Speaker 3: A few weeks ago, I was gifted one, okay by friend, well because I was, I was getting sucked in by the whole la booboo craze talking about it on filming the you know segments on television, off the off my television, and you know it was like a friend of a friend and they sent me the laboo boo and I was so excited. I did they want me to do an unboxing over on Instagram Live, So I did. Three days later, I go to Vonn's, the one across the street from the Vista Theater. 00:04:28 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course I know that Vonn's very well, it. 00:04:30 Speaker 3: Used to be nice. Now it's unhinged. 00:04:32 Speaker 1: I know where the bathroom is and everything. Well, did you see a la boo boom in there? A green la boo boo? I went. 00:04:39 Speaker 3: I went to a Fourth of July to get fried chicken to take over my friend Drew's house for a little or uh you know, Fourth of July affair. I'm waiting in line, I get out of line. I go to Starbucks and I looked down Starbucks. That's inside them, of course, inside the bonds, and my laboo is off, gone off my bag and just the little key is still so there. 00:05:00 Speaker 1: And you didn't feel the tug or anything. 00:05:02 Speaker 3: No, but there was a guy. It was There was a guy that asked me if I could pick a basket up off the ground. I think it was you know, I think it was him because he wasn't in line. He started sort of cut in line and that because that's how people when they steal, they distracted. 00:05:17 Speaker 1: They distract. 00:05:18 Speaker 3: That's what I do. 00:05:20 Speaker 1: Me too. Yeah, I asked somebody for directions on their phone and then I'm looking at it and I'm running off that kind of pickpocket. Wow, so you bent over he just snatched it off and was gone, do you And wow, that's crazy to actually have seen your the perpetrator. 00:05:37 Speaker 3: Yeah, I look like his name was Mark Jacobs, the designer, because Mark Jacobs has been seen carrying. 00:05:42 Speaker 1: Lots of he has so many he has those very. 00:05:45 Speaker 3: Long fingernails, fake fingernails, so it's perfect for like cutting off labuobus from your purse. 00:05:50 Speaker 1: He's a saspect. But then and It was kind of tragic because it was such an incredible thing for in your life. It was there and now it's gone, But now you've gotten how many new ones? 00:05:59 Speaker 3: Well because of that, I made a video like I was just shot in the Vaughn's parking lot and a group fitness instructor named Isaac Boots he does like Kelly Rippa okay in the East Coast. He sent me a box of six and I have them everywhere. 00:06:17 Speaker 1: Now do you wear them out? I wear them? 00:06:19 Speaker 3: I wear two at a time. 00:06:20 Speaker 1: Are you nervous when you're wearing them? 00:06:22 Speaker 3: But now I don't put them on my back because it was my purse. Right now, I wear them on my the loop of my belt. 00:06:31 Speaker 1: Of my Somebody would have to be pretty bold to just. 00:06:34 Speaker 3: Well, now I want them to touch me there. I'm desperate for someone to come towards Yes, yeah, no, I wear like two at a time. 00:06:41 Speaker 1: Okay, And you're just rotating throughout. Have you ever gotten into a fan like this before or is this a new thing? Oh? 00:06:48 Speaker 3: I've always get into all the hippos, trendies, new things. Of course you're on top of it all. Well, that's why I wanted to have one I mean, I want to be a part of the craze. You know, I'm I'm nineteen. 00:07:00 Speaker 1: Whatever I am. You're caught up in the college crazy nature. 00:07:04 Speaker 3: I want to be like you know, I want to be jealous this summer, and they are, and they are. 00:07:09 Speaker 1: I'm jealous of you. I got that like a couple of episodesisodes ago, Daniel Schneider brought that it's lafu Fou. I don't know if you're familiar with la f I'm gonna steal it. I would love for you to steal this. I did. I was not aware of anything about them, essentially until you started talking about them. That's fine, knocking the. 00:07:31 Speaker 3: Sets a lot of energy with this love like a of. 00:07:37 Speaker 1: Course, of course, yeah, I didn't know anything about them. And now I like that they're everywhere. 00:07:44 Speaker 3: They're everywhere. The guy who invented them is like a billionaire. 00:07:47 Speaker 1: Is there? Like there's one man who invented them. 00:07:49 Speaker 3: I believe that he's a Chinese billionaire. 00:07:51 Speaker 1: Now wow. And then he just got in touch with whoever this brand is. It's a hot pot mark. And then I wonder how they do you have any how they initially took off or was it just suddenly everywhere. I don't know how to. 00:08:03 Speaker 3: Initially took off because I just think, you know, when you get them, you don't know what you're getting, right, So I think people are like, oh, I have this one by, I need this. I have all of them or almost all of them, every color by this one. So they're like, there's that's why someone stole mine. I got a lot of messages from people saying mine was stolen to mine was stolen to it's a crime ring. 00:08:24 Speaker 1: Because you know it's a crime. It's a crime wave. 00:08:27 Speaker 3: People want these laboo boos. And then someone trying to act like they were going to be really nice to me and give me one, and I found out later it was a lat fufo. 00:08:35 Speaker 1: Somebody gave you a laf. 00:08:37 Speaker 3: They almost they did it. Oh, I got out of the situation in time. 00:08:42 Speaker 1: How did you determine it was a laff? 00:08:43 Speaker 3: Somebody told me. 00:08:46 Speaker 1: Somebody else stepped in to help you. 00:08:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, because they gifted that person. 00:08:51 Speaker 1: Okay, would you have been able to tell that was a lafufu? 00:08:55 Speaker 3: Yeah, because their heads, the real of the real of labooboos heads don't turn. 00:08:59 Speaker 1: Which it feels like a flaw in the prize exactly. 00:09:02 Speaker 3: You would want one that the head tie. 00:09:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, that can really do it all. Wow. I didn't realize that they're counting. 00:09:07 Speaker 3: Teeth well, because they say the real Leabooboo's teeth are nine. 00:09:11 Speaker 1: And how many is on that ten? Wow? 00:09:14 Speaker 3: This is not real. 00:09:16 Speaker 1: This does not insulting to both of us. It's interesting that they go that far to counterfeit it, but they don't get a few minor details that would probably be it would probably be cheaper for its head to not move exactly and just take one tooth off. So they're going the extra mile. 00:09:34 Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense that the l FIFA is actually better made than the La Boo. 00:09:37 Speaker 1: Boo, right, right, But I guess that they're the same costs. And you kind of don't know because Danielle, who gave it to me, she just bought it thinking it was a La Boo Boo. 00:09:47 Speaker 3: Ah, she was swindled. 00:09:49 Speaker 1: But then the package is exactly like a La booboo. Everything about it is like a labooboo. You open it like a bag of potato chips, you know, which is so satisfying. 00:09:58 Speaker 3: I have trouble about those bags. 00:10:00 Speaker 1: Well, I wonder if now this is interesting because I've only ever opened a La fu fou bag, so it might have been easier, Yeah, because it's just kind of popped open, like doris are very difficult. Yeah, it seems like you have to like there's like a little tab and I. 00:10:13 Speaker 3: Always forget about that. I always trying to just pull it and you can't really pull it open. 00:10:16 Speaker 1: I feel like that's another flaw in the product. 00:10:18 Speaker 3: That's I'm saying, maybe a le fufo is the way to go. 00:10:21 Speaker 1: Yeah, but they cost the same, but. 00:10:23 Speaker 3: It's not the same, Like it's not the same hyppness. You know, all the cool kids. 00:10:28 Speaker 1: Right the rest of your college friends are. 00:10:31 Speaker 3: You know, and we don't hang out with people that have left a little. 00:10:36 Speaker 1: Something I've been wanting to ask you is if you subscribe to National Inquirer because you read this is something that I adore about you, and I immediate is like, this person, how have I Why have they not always been part of my entertainment life? Because I love tabloids and you read tabloids and weekly? Do you subscribe? 00:10:55 Speaker 3: Well, I read them star biweekly because I don't subscribe to them. Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to because they're harder and harder to find, right, But it's like three hundred dollars a year for crazy because they're like, they're like six dollars and I wasn't say an episode, it's definitely an episode. And they're yeah, they're expensive because they come out weekly. They're like six six dollars. I used to have a subscription to them in college, which while I'm in college now, but yeah, I used to have a subscription them in college. But I should guess probably I'm going to have to because sometimes when I want to like buy them, I can't find them, right, the grocery store is very difficult to find. 00:11:37 Speaker 1: What it's weird. 00:11:38 Speaker 3: It's in Los Angeles they're hard to find at grocery stores, but in Pittsburgh, where my parents live, they're very easy to. 00:11:45 Speaker 1: Find in grocery stores. They're a hot item. 00:11:47 Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, I feel like that's the target audience is more of like Pittsburgh town, like a more of a medium size setting. 00:11:55 Speaker 1: Right, people who Yeah, I wonder what exactly that I mean, because you and I would buy them exactly. Yeah. 00:12:02 Speaker 3: I have no trouble finding them them here, finding them there, but here it's like I have to drive, you know, from grocer to sort of grocery store. Last week I couldn't find them. Then there's a there's a magazine stand in Largemont Village, right, but that one that's under a threat of being closed. 00:12:18 Speaker 1: It's getting smaller and smaller. I'm scared. And the right ed next to it closed down. 00:12:22 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this, this world's crumbled. Hollywoods crumble. My Labooby was stilling at that trash varns trash, not in a good way. Magazines you can't tablets you can't find. Vagazine stands are clothing. 00:12:36 Speaker 1: This is what I'll also say about. Well, first of all, I never buy them. I just and this is maybe a weird quality about me. I'll just go to the store and just stand at the end of the line and page through them because I'm not going to buy them. I'm not spending six dollars. I'm not subscribing, especially now that I know that it's three hundred dollars. That's more than like HBO. It's crazy, But I'll just stand there. But they're getting frequently they don't have them, And now I'm I'm starting to see US weekly and people the headlines are not as good now. 00:13:07 Speaker 3: I mean those are my least favorite. You know, the tabloid ask I prefer the well written, crazy written Globe and Inquired the Mirror. Yes, well, the Star used to be like like Star Magazine used to have like, oh, I love to be more like like the Inquiry and Globe, you know, like like the way it was put together. Right now it's more of a glossy magazine like it is. 00:13:32 Speaker 1: Right, it's small, it's patiti. 00:13:34 Speaker 3: Yeah that's Hollywood. It's small, it's. 00:13:39 Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like all I ever see now is their headlines, like their private world and uh uh private hell private. 00:13:51 Speaker 3: How They also love to have like the sad last Days, which is like anybody in Hollywood. It's always anybody's throw a row for Labooboo. Honey, it's anybody's sad last Days. It's actually probably la Booboo said Last Days. 00:14:09 Speaker 1: But Inquirer. They're pretty creative. The headlines are always something to look at the. 00:14:14 Speaker 3: Way they're written or crazy. I was not the way that like the stories are written are so crazy. I mean I love it. 00:14:19 Speaker 1: Listening to you read them aloud is maybe my favorite thing piece of audio. Thank you, but you've been reading them since college. 00:14:26 Speaker 3: We're even younger than that. 00:14:27 Speaker 1: Okay, yes, I mean I have. 00:14:30 Speaker 3: I found my parents' storage unit. I didn't even know that my parents kept them all like a couple of summers ago. I found a box of them right, dating back to nineteen eighty nine. 00:14:41 Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah, bring them. Huh, well, did you bring them back with you? 00:14:51 Speaker 3: I did, and then I brought them back because yeah, so I have. I have a lot of them. 00:14:56 Speaker 1: You should start reading those. I do. Yeah, I have. 00:14:58 Speaker 3: I sometimes do read. 00:15:00 Speaker 1: Oh I'm so jealous because I'll go on eBay on occasion and it's expensive to buy. You know, a few of them. I know I have. 00:15:07 Speaker 3: Well, some of my family is a hoarder, and it's not me because we also have a lot of People magazines and Entertainment Weekly. 00:15:13 Speaker 1: Okay, and Entertainment Weekly is not fun. 00:15:15 Speaker 3: No, no, no, The People magazine has some good. 00:15:18 Speaker 1: The further back you get, oh my god, there's some really good counters. Oh wow, I'm so jealous. But uh yeah, I'm curious what will be in this week. I was looking at Target last night and I feel like it was a Biden senior abuse story on the front of National Inquirer. 00:15:36 Speaker 3: And they like that one. 00:15:38 Speaker 1: That one's I'm a little tired. 00:15:40 Speaker 3: I'm tired of that one to say. Sometimes they like that same story will leave and it'll come back around again, even though it's not a new story. 00:15:46 Speaker 1: I tried to sell a story to the Inquirer in college, you did, And they didn't buy it. They weirdly wanted a lot of information. I didn't expect them to really care. 00:15:56 Speaker 3: Oh they do care. 00:15:57 Speaker 1: They really go up for some type of sources and I had none. 00:16:01 Speaker 3: Well, the thing about them is is that sometimes there is some sort of like truth mixing with the like right craziness. 00:16:08 Speaker 1: I really do think that there's always a kernel of truth to an Inquirer story. 00:16:12 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, especially especially more back then. 00:16:15 Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, it feels like they're probably spiraling a little out of control. 00:16:19 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah. 00:16:20 Speaker 1: Were you ever a weekly world news reader? 00:16:22 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, with like the you know, the alien babies. 00:16:26 Speaker 1: I love all of that and all this is alive. I remember there was like a a like a column by woman named Dotty. Do you remember this, dear Dotty? Oh, I kind of do you remember? It was an advice column. She was just very rude, get it together. Yeah. It was a lot of get it together, you idiot. That very insulting. But I like when I look back at weekly World News compared to the Inquirer, kind of a nothing magazine. 00:16:53 Speaker 3: No, no, no, yeah, of course. I mean the Inquirer is like real. 00:16:57 Speaker 1: Right, it's all real news, real news, it's all verifiable information. 00:17:01 Speaker 3: I believe that it's the only thing I believe at this point. 00:17:05 Speaker 1: Does Inquier ever get into alien stuff? 00:17:08 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's a big thing about UFOs in them, a lot like UFO sightings. The government's hiding, right, you know, they're coming, They're here, you know, and all of it's true. 00:17:19 Speaker 1: What is your The other thing I'm curious about with you is your television watching diet, Like, because you are getting the very best of TV, you'll record it and share it with people. And I'm just wondering, like, do you have a schedule during the day when you'll watch it or do you like record it and watch it later? 00:17:37 Speaker 3: No? No, I watch Inside Edition at seven o'clock Monday through Friday. That's my main thing. Like when people like, you know, they always like to ask me, what are you watching? Are you watching. 00:17:52 Speaker 1: What? I don't even know? 00:17:54 Speaker 3: What's the wife? One like. 00:17:57 Speaker 1: That? One. We'll say successions off TV two years ago. 00:18:02 Speaker 3: I'm like now I watch inside a Dish and I hate when people are like what Sometimes people don't even know what it is. 00:18:10 Speaker 1: It's so good, I know, but I don't have Do you have live TV? Do you still pay for see? That's what I don't have that, so I wouldn't be able to access a disease. Oh do I have? 00:18:19 Speaker 3: Like I start off with an antenna, okay, and then I have like basic basic cable. 00:18:27 Speaker 1: See, this is the one thing separating you from other college students. It's like having live TV. 00:18:31 Speaker 3: I know I have to have live TV because I kind of that's kind of the only thing I really wantat I only read tabloids and watch live television. 00:18:39 Speaker 1: I wonder if you could access inside edition through a streaming service. What you must be able to I don't know. I don't I don't understand you. I don't understand. But you also, I feel like you watch local news? Oh, I love local news. Do you have a favorite in La? No? 00:19:00 Speaker 3: I also have local commercials that you know, what car shield is, carshield? What's these commercials that Vivica A. Fox says, Oh, this sounds incredible. I don't even know what it is. But she just has these wonderful monologues and she's like funny in them, and she's serious and she's walking while she's talking. I mean, I love a Vica Fox, but like I'm obsessed with these. With the commercial, I don't even know what it is. 00:19:22 Speaker 1: Carshield is some sort of device or insurance, I don't don't, I don't know. 00:19:27 Speaker 3: All I know is that Vivica Fox is one of her best performances. 00:19:30 Speaker 1: She's doing a terrible job promoting the product. I have no idea what it is. 00:19:34 Speaker 3: Yeah, because she's performing that you don't even She's such a dynamic performer that you don't even care. 00:19:39 Speaker 1: You're so dazzled. 00:19:40 Speaker 3: I'm dazzled by the performance. I don't even care what carshield is. There's so much information in it. 00:19:45 Speaker 1: I want to see. Do you mind if I look at it up. Let's see if we can figure out what car shield is. We better both get a car shield out of this. Car shield auto protection, some sort of insurance. 00:19:57 Speaker 3: She's auto protection protected from what just being stolen from your car. 00:20:07 Speaker 1: That's probably one thing they wouldn't cover car. The saft insurance is very confusing. I think. I feel like, Uh, somebody I know had their car broken into and what was stolen from the car was not covered. 00:20:19 Speaker 3: I when I first moved to Los Angeles, I got the club. Oh my god, I did know how to work that either star. I just would put it. I just would put it like on top of the stirring world. 00:20:28 Speaker 1: Just as a deterrent. Did it help? Yeah? 00:20:31 Speaker 3: I never got my car working. 00:20:32 Speaker 1: I feel like no one understood how the club worked. So I'm sure a carthief wouldn't know either, and they thought, well, maybe that'll stop me from driving away. 00:20:39 Speaker 3: Well, I only go shopping with the things I see in the Inquirer or on basic antenna television. 00:20:44 Speaker 1: Have you bought it? Have you ever gotten one of those plates from the Inquirer? 00:20:48 Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, Like I have a Marilyn Monroe plates and collect plates. Yeah. 00:20:52 Speaker 1: An, I feel like there are a lot of princess sty a lot of well. 00:20:55 Speaker 3: I was gifted Princess Diadia and the doll. I have a Megan Markell all I was gifted. Uh, it's a double box set of Prince William and Kate Middleton. 00:21:08 Speaker 1: People like to give me dolls, right, right? Do you have displayer store. 00:21:13 Speaker 3: Well, I don't have a good display case. That's why someone needs to give gift. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know who had one with Sally's Struthers because I was shares doll display cases. 00:21:27 Speaker 1: And yeah, I feel like you don't want them just on a shelf. 00:21:30 Speaker 3: No, I need a display case in glass. 00:21:35 Speaker 1: Do you ever buy them for yourself? 00:21:36 Speaker 2: Though? 00:21:36 Speaker 3: No, No, I did. When I was a child, I bought or have my parents buy them for me. I had a Lucy Ricardo porcelain doll and two Merrily Monroe dolls. But now people give them to me. Why would I buy them myself? 00:21:52 Speaker 1: That's a great question. Do you remember what the first thing was that you bought? The first doll? I bought first from inquirer, from a tabloid. 00:22:01 Speaker 3: Oh, well, I remember I bought sea monkeys when I was a child, of course, yeah, of course I was so disappointed. 00:22:07 Speaker 1: Did your I don't remember ever even being able to see the sea monkeys. 00:22:12 Speaker 3: No, they just turned into like the little like tiny little alga. My mom flushed them down the toilet because I thought they were going to be my friends, because I was the only child, and the pictures of them they looked like a little family, and they wore crowns on their heads, were smiling. 00:22:25 Speaker 1: They almost looked like a little like claymation or something. 00:22:27 Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah, but they just they didn't turn into that. 00:22:30 Speaker 1: It's basically just like bacteria or something. Bacteria what I feel like. I grew up near the Great Salt Lake. I think it's the same thing that lives in the salt like I can't remember. It's like a tiny shrimp or something. I wonder what that's called. But yeah, that was a scam product. I feel like anything that you would order from a magazine that was supposed to be alive either died immediately or just never existed in the first place. Sea monkeys, I wonder if sea monkeys. 00:22:55 Speaker 3: Still exists, shol bring that back. 00:22:57 Speaker 1: What was a sea monkey? Sea monkey? It was a brine. That's right, you can eat it. You could eat children. 00:23:08 Speaker 3: Dinner's ready, kids. Your sea monkeys are being air fried. 00:23:15 Speaker 1: Do you have an air fryer? I sure do. What do you cook your fry? Oh? 00:23:18 Speaker 3: I cook everything in my air fry. Unfortunately, I have to unplug everything because when I use that knocks the power out something the refrigerator. I have to un plug the microwave. 00:23:29 Speaker 1: Ask your neighbors to turn off there. 00:23:31 Speaker 3: Yeah, well I will knock off one side of the building the power gets not forget to unplug the refrigerator. 00:23:39 Speaker 1: Where did you get your air fry? Is that bought for you? 00:23:42 Speaker 3: It was was given to me by my father, and I think he bought it from like Target or something. But of course, like a typical head or a shuctual man, he got me like a giant one. And if I have like a family of seven to feed, and it's too powerful for my apartment. 00:23:58 Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're just making things for like one meal, my dolls and labos for a family of nights. But they have little mouths, yeah, small stomachs. They just need a bite. 00:24:09 Speaker 3: Yeah, they just need a brine. They just need to feed them. 00:24:12 Speaker 1: Monkey sea monkey does feel like a labooboo diet. 00:24:16 Speaker 3: Well, it's probably like a wonderful way to like a wonderful thing to feed them, of course, and they multiply when you feed them sea monkeys. 00:24:26 Speaker 1: Kind of a grimlin situation. Don't feed them sea. 00:24:28 Speaker 3: Monkeys after midnight? 00:24:30 Speaker 1: After well, I feel like speaking of giving things to people and things that you may or may not want. Uh, Look, I was excited to have you here on the podcast. I thought, people come by, we'll have a nice conversation, we'll move on with our days. Everything will be fine. So the podcast is called I said no gifts, So I was a little surprised a little throne when you walked into the studio holding what, from from where I'm sitting, looks like a gift. Well, it is a gift. 00:25:00 Speaker 3: And I just believe in when you show but somebody's home, that you give them something. 00:25:06 Speaker 1: Oh but that's nice. That's a nice reason. Well, uh sure, should I open it here on the podcast. It's in this nice little black bag to reach you here there, it feels like there are multiple things in here. She pulled at least two things. She pulled them out one at a time. 00:25:30 Speaker 3: Oh wait, no, that that's a mistake. I'm sorry, By, I'm sorry that that was a mistake. 00:25:42 Speaker 1: My I can't believe how much smaller it is. 00:25:43 Speaker 3: Little By Labo is not supposed to be sorry about that. 00:25:47 Speaker 1: I have so many of them. They're just everywhere. They're just everywhere, the sand from the beach. You. 00:25:54 Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, I can't give these away. There were gifts. I have six of them. And I will always have six. 00:25:59 Speaker 1: Well, you can pair those frint to the camera for the viewer at home. 00:26:03 Speaker 3: Here's a laboo boo and here's a ufo. 00:26:07 Speaker 1: They're significantly different. 00:26:09 Speaker 3: Well, the bigger it's cheaper, it's it's better value, and it's like more, it's kind of more interesting. 00:26:17 Speaker 1: Yeah, it has more character. 00:26:18 Speaker 3: But look at the heck can turn? 00:26:20 Speaker 1: You have? The head can turn almost three six. I can't turn the laffo. I will say it is probably softer or the lab boo boo is probably softer, wouldn't you say? Can I feel? Yeah, it's okay interesting? Wow, they don't want this getting out? Who made thee? Who is who's the billionaire genius behind the lafufu? Uh, it's bigger, I would say, it's cutter. 00:26:48 Speaker 3: I'm gonna steal that. I want I want this now too. 00:26:53 Speaker 1: You caught the fever the wow, I had no idea. They were so much smaller. It does look like sleeker or something. It's almost like do you remember the Zoon, the Microsoft Zoon that was like the competitor to the iPod. It feels like this to me, like this is the iPod and that's the zoom Zoom that's the zoon zoon. Well, I'm sorry that. No, that's embarrassing for you and for me. I'm sorry that I even thought it might be for me. 00:27:26 Speaker 3: I just can't I couldn't know. 00:27:28 Speaker 1: You have so many of them at this point, how were you supposed to keep tracking them? Put that on the and you've got it on your belt loop. Keep an eye on it. Who knows what might happen during in the studio. Okay, oh my god. 00:27:40 Speaker 3: Yes, I got your magnifying glass. You can help me find my my missing lebooba. I need more detectives. 00:27:46 Speaker 1: On the case. How many magnifying For people who aren't familiar with you, You use a magnifying glass very well. I feel like you know how to use a magnifying glass and you get to the bottom of a lot of things using your magnifine. 00:28:00 Speaker 3: I love misters in my life. 00:28:01 Speaker 1: How many of these do you own? 00:28:03 Speaker 3: Well, that's a small one. That's a portable one. 00:28:05 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is I have. 00:28:08 Speaker 3: Somebody gifted me one for my birthday. I have a gold one, I have a black one. 00:28:12 Speaker 1: I have four, four of them. When did you get your first one? This is a nice magnifying glass either way. 00:28:19 Speaker 3: Well, You're welcome. 00:28:20 Speaker 1: It's for you. It's it's better than Yeah, this is better than. 00:28:26 Speaker 2: You know. 00:28:26 Speaker 3: What's also great about it is that sometimes when I like, you know, when I go to a restaurant and I can't read the menu if I don't have my glasses with me, because sometimes I'm afraid to take my glasses out, you know, to like for an evening at a restaurant, lose them my magnifying glass with me. That's it's a great idea. And also if anybody commits a crime, you can look at the fingerpress and there's always a crime and loss. 00:28:51 Speaker 1: In Hollywood constantly. You've put a victim. 00:28:53 Speaker 3: Thank you. 00:28:54 Speaker 1: You could be a victim today. I'm wearing I'm wearing you are a target. 00:29:00 Speaker 3: Burbank, Tncut. 00:29:02 Speaker 1: I wonder what the last time a magnifying glass was used to solve a crime. 00:29:06 Speaker 3: I've solved them. I'm the one that proved that justice Smellert Gay bashed to himself. 00:29:12 Speaker 1: You went to Chicago. 00:29:13 Speaker 3: I went to Chicago with that magnifying glass. 00:29:15 Speaker 1: That's where it happened, right sure. 00:29:17 Speaker 3: In a polar vortex. So I'm their crimes are always being solved, and I. 00:29:23 Speaker 1: Solve them where is he now. 00:29:26 Speaker 3: Oh he's engaged, Yeah, he's engaged, or it's just probably another stunt. 00:29:33 Speaker 1: I wonder if he went through any sort of therapy or anything after that. 00:29:38 Speaker 3: Or is he walked around with an I think an AA book he's oh, he's photographed with it. Make sure he was photographed proposing in Europe A boyfriend has been a lover beyond. 00:29:54 Speaker 1: That, not professionally photographed. It was like a paparazzi show allegedly, okay, a hired paparazza. I'm sure he leaked it to that. What was he doing prior to that? Was he on a TV show? 00:30:06 Speaker 3: Because an empire? 00:30:07 Speaker 1: Oh? He was an empire? That's right. What a fall he had? What an absolute fall? Has he been on anything since he just destroyed his career? 00:30:16 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's been on he's he's you know, he lied, it's a skill. 00:30:22 Speaker 1: He did lie, and he didn't get away with it. Did he go to jail or anything? 00:30:26 Speaker 3: He went to jail and he wasn't John. I mean this he was. They put they brought him in, they took him out. It was all kind of crazy enough. 00:30:31 Speaker 1: Oh right right. It makes me so mad. 00:30:34 Speaker 3: Because no one believed me, but I'm not going to get into that. 00:30:37 Speaker 1: Do you have any new updates? You obviously follow Luigi Mangiona. What's the latest on him? 00:30:43 Speaker 3: Well, he's just waiting, you know, for his trial, just sitting on that that prison in Brooklyn with puff Daddy. 00:30:48 Speaker 1: He did it is? Did he still in the jail. 00:30:51 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're in the same section of the jail hanging out. But Luigi's you know, he's going to be having a unfortunately one televised because it's federal. 00:31:03 Speaker 1: Stupid. I know. 00:31:07 Speaker 3: If it's not an inside edition, I mean, how am I going to know what's going on? 00:31:10 Speaker 1: That's your only news story? 00:31:12 Speaker 3: Yes, and the Inquirer. But there was recently a picture of him released in prison where he's smiling. But I'm concerned. It's not a. 00:31:21 Speaker 1: Concerned about that. Well where did you see it? Was it online or on inside edition? 00:31:24 Speaker 3: It wasn't on either of them. Oh, it's only online. So that's why I don't know. Unless it's an inside edition or in the Inquirer, I don't believe. 00:31:31 Speaker 1: Right. 00:31:31 Speaker 3: If i'm more you know, I question it more right, If it's on the actual you know, news, I don't know if I believe it. If it's on the K T l A. I don't know who knows where they got exactly. 00:31:44 Speaker 1: It could be one of the anchors on chat GBT just creating im. 00:31:48 Speaker 3: Of course they are. 00:31:51 Speaker 1: What is I feel like you've been following Sherry Peppinie as well. 00:31:55 Speaker 3: I loved, I love Have you want that? Speaking of kidnapping, Oh my god, kidnapping. She she's a laboo, she's her own laboobo. 00:32:05 Speaker 1: I wonder if your la boo boo has Peppini did. 00:32:08 Speaker 3: So she could like she could have very well done that my for a ton show. 00:32:12 Speaker 1: Yeah, your labubuo could show up on the side of the freeway in six months on Thanksgiving Day. 00:32:16 Speaker 3: Well, I was accused of faking my labuobu being stolen. 00:32:20 Speaker 1: I sure was. 00:32:22 Speaker 3: I would never do such a thing for an. 00:32:23 Speaker 1: Attention, Absolutely not. You cared about that lao. 00:32:26 Speaker 3: I did too care about that laboo. So I was very offended by that. But like, I don't stage my own mysteries, okay, my own crimes. 00:32:33 Speaker 1: No, you're interesting enough for them to happen to you. Thank you. 00:32:37 Speaker 3: But yeah, she's back again. 00:32:39 Speaker 1: Kay. 00:32:39 Speaker 3: You know what, Remember when I faked my kidnapping and I got caught and I said, you know what, I faked it. That's not true. I did get kidnapped. 00:32:47 Speaker 1: She now claiming it was real. 00:32:49 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was real, but not those two women that kidnapped her. Now, I don't It's just she. 00:32:53 Speaker 1: Was kidnapped by the guy. Maybe she was kidnapped by her ex boyfriend. Ex boyfriend who like held up a hockey stick and had she would run into it. 00:33:02 Speaker 3: He would hit hockey pucks into her. Oh, and then she threw like a wrench up in the air and lay it at her face. I mean, the commitment to this, I mean, it's very admirable. 00:33:14 Speaker 1: It's incredible. 00:33:15 Speaker 3: It's incredible. I mean, that's why I like her. I like Rachel Doloso. I like people that are committed to their character. That's why I wasn't happy with Jessic Smlet, because he didn't do a very good job of really proving, like really making me believe that right kit he was gay bashing himself. 00:33:31 Speaker 1: Yeah, because of course these things cross our minds. I thought, well, maybe I'll kidnap myself and be a fake of being a captive for months at a time and then you know all of this. But I don't do it. I don't have the ghost the wherewithal the carry through right exactly, And so when someone like Puppini does it, it's like good for her, good for her. 00:33:52 Speaker 3: She'd like, you know, she was bored. She was bored for boring, boring town, boring family. 00:34:00 Speaker 1: Very vanilla husband. She was just what was she doing? She was jogging and picking up the kids from school exactly. 00:34:07 Speaker 3: The husband was at work all the time. 00:34:09 Speaker 1: Yeah, she needed to do something to spice it up. 00:34:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna kidnap myself. 00:34:13 Speaker 1: Did you watch the new documentary about her? 00:34:16 Speaker 3: Yes, I'm the id. 00:34:18 Speaker 1: I haven't finished that one. How do you feel about his sister? 00:34:24 Speaker 3: I feel like that the sister that said that she she knew that she was crazy. Yes, well I believe that she's crazy. 00:34:32 Speaker 1: Wait, the sister who shows up in a turban. Oh do you know who's on Sherry's side? Oh? 00:34:39 Speaker 3: I like her because she's right. She's right. 00:34:44 Speaker 1: Because she's on the side. And she obviously went to a lot of work to like do some set deck on her home and really had a costume picked out. 00:34:53 Speaker 3: Well, she's committed to her character too. Yeah, I'm the only one that's the boy is the brother and husband. Everyone's everyone that is so bored by him that they become other people. They kidnap themselves, they wear costumes. 00:35:05 Speaker 1: They betray their family exactly. Yeah, she's fully on Sherry's side, And but in what way? I can't. I don't think I finished it, but I feel like she She says that Sherry just had to do it, and I agree. We all agree. Sheerry's back was against. 00:35:20 Speaker 3: The wall, her back was against watch. She had to kidnap herself. I love how she left like the iPods behind the iPod wire. 00:35:27 Speaker 1: It's amazing. 00:35:28 Speaker 3: I mean it was really detailed. 00:35:30 Speaker 1: Yes, I feel like she didn't go she should have done a little more research in that because I feel like the detectives were starting to pick up on certain things. 00:35:37 Speaker 3: Well, the fact that she really got her cat was when she described the room that she was kidnapping. Was the actual room that she was kidnapping. 00:35:45 Speaker 1: She should have created a different room, create a different room. Get creative, creative, use your imagination. 00:35:50 Speaker 3: That's the problem in the young with hers. These people aren't creative. 00:35:53 Speaker 1: Enough, right, Yeah, it's a lack of imagination, the lack of imagination. Did the ex boyfriend go to jail? I don't know. 00:36:00 Speaker 3: I think he might not have because he he routed her out, so I think help him. 00:36:06 Speaker 1: And she kind of didn't go to jail for a long time, not long enough. You're on her side, but you also feel like she should have gone to prison for probably a decade. Well, she's kind of the great fraud of our time. 00:36:22 Speaker 3: I would say, oh, yeah, well it's her, it's Rachel. Yes, it's my lad. Those are like the three. 00:36:31 Speaker 1: Yeah, where where's Rachel? Now? She's still black? Black? She never wasn't black. She's always so black. She does her oh wow. And I feel like a lot of people are probably still on her side. I am. 00:36:47 Speaker 3: Her. I never had a problem with her. 00:36:50 Speaker 1: Was there ever a point when we were looking at her like, was there a point when the whole public didn't know? Or was like the she became famous because she had been lying. 00:36:58 Speaker 3: She became famous because she had been because she got caught on camera. 00:37:01 Speaker 1: What was she doing? 00:37:03 Speaker 3: They were interviewing, They put it on camera. They were interviewing about something, and she was the head of the the NAACP and spoke in Washington, Okay, And they asked her something about her her real father was, and she just sort of ran Off. 00:37:18 Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite National Inquiry story of all time? 00:37:21 Speaker 3: Oh, that's so difficult. I like the one about this this woman was going for she was on a raft and like, yeah, she's like kind of wrapped like the riverboat rafting or like you know, like laying in a rat in a like a lazy river, like in the nature. 00:37:40 Speaker 1: And she was. 00:37:41 Speaker 3: Attacked by otters a crazy odor and the picture of the otter looks like it's laughing in the in the but kept just biting her butt, and so it wrote up. It wrote it in the in the story, and she just kept biting her butt, and they shared the picture of the otter and it looks like it's laughing. That's one of my favorite ones. 00:37:59 Speaker 1: Was she like mauled by the by a laughing honor, which is unrecognizable. That's another term you see a lot. 00:38:07 Speaker 3: She was unrecognizably. Yeah, she was unrecognizable. Yeah, I love that story. 00:38:13 Speaker 1: When was that? 00:38:14 Speaker 3: This sounds like maybe two years ago. 00:38:16 Speaker 1: Okay, just attack by honors. They are mean, Yeah, I've heard that they're vicious. I guess they're very cute. They're deceptive. There's they're like they're unlike a like a possum, which are so terrifying and not dangerous. 00:38:30 Speaker 3: Right, But but I thought, I think they're cute. 00:38:34 Speaker 1: You think possums are cute. I think pasthems are cute. I'm like, they're growing on me. For a long time, I was absolutely terrified. But now that I've learned that they're almost defenseless. 00:38:42 Speaker 3: I have one here. 00:38:43 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you two. That's everything in the bag. You're also surrounded by posse. 00:38:52 Speaker 3: There was another story I liked that was this woman the police found a pet rock cune in a woman's car is smoking out of a crack pipe. That's another one I like. I like there's always stories about Florida where crocodiles are knocking on people's. 00:39:11 Speaker 1: Doors or ringing the ring the bell ring. 00:39:14 Speaker 3: Like we'll ring the doorbell, honey, Florida, Florida. 00:39:21 Speaker 1: Are they getting up to the bell. 00:39:22 Speaker 3: They climb up the wall. There's bunches of them climbing up the wall. 00:39:25 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I think I like it terrifying to make that's absolutely horrifying. Do you know what scares me about them is the biting is terrifying, But the thing they do to you beforehand, where they thrash you about in I think that's way scarier than being nipped or. 00:39:42 Speaker 3: I understand how people can live around like like you could just there could be one in your pool, Like they live in an environment where there's crocodiles, allegies everywhere. 00:39:50 Speaker 1: I couldn't right where they're just they're like coyotes are here. 00:39:53 Speaker 3: No, but coyote is fine, but not crocodiles. 00:39:56 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Like in l A, all we have to worry about is like a coyote that'll run off or someone will right, But in Florida, you step out of your car, it could be underneath there. 00:40:06 Speaker 3: That's why I have relatives in Florida, and I'll never see them ever again. 00:40:10 Speaker 1: Do you get along with them? 00:40:11 Speaker 3: I don't know, because I don't care they're in Florida. 00:40:14 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I just can't imagine terrifying. I think the most dangerous thing here is probably a mountain lion, but no one really ever sees those. 00:40:23 Speaker 3: Well, somebody I met recently asked if I wanted to go on a gay height gay height gay with a bunch of how much oh god, hike, you know, like up like by beache, like Griforth the park at night, and I was like, that sounds like a horrible idea, Like you set yourself up for being. 00:40:47 Speaker 1: Attacked by a mountain lion or a bobcat rather at night. Yeah, of course that's when they're out. Yeah, I've got a night hikes up there, and this is just clicking for me. No, you can't do that during the pandemic when it was even emptier. 00:41:00 Speaker 3: No, you can't do that. 00:41:01 Speaker 1: No, they're out there, they're out there. 00:41:03 Speaker 3: I mean one time I was up there by myself. I was like, what the hell am I doing up here? Like if I see a mountain lion? Well, I just saw a story on inside the edition where a woman was on hiking up the California Hills and s into a mountain lion recognition. She got to go away by saying no, no, that's all you have to know, and it ran away. My cat understands no too. So I think there's something about no and cats, because I'll go I'll shake my finger up my cat and go no, no, and she understand. 00:41:32 Speaker 1: That's all it needs. Interesting. 00:41:34 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't understand. 00:41:35 Speaker 1: I don't understand. Now there's no stopping. He stopping just relentless here I come. 00:41:47 Speaker 3: Uh. 00:41:47 Speaker 1: Yeah, the alligators are scary, mountain lines are terrifying. Snakes are scary. My mom just got bitten by a snake. 00:41:53 Speaker 3: Really in Utah is like a poisonous Yeah, she copp her head. 00:41:59 Speaker 1: It may have been a copper. Who knows. She was bit and it swoll swollen up? Is that swells swelled? It swells swoll up, swoll up. It swelled. I mean her arm like doubled inside them. We thought it was a spider, but then we saw two snake bites. Terrifying. I didn't even see the snake, so was that quick? It can happen instantly, Absolutely terrifying. Have you ever had a run in with nature? 00:42:26 Speaker 3: I'm scared I run in with nature. Probably. Well, I've seen. 00:42:32 Speaker 1: Coyotes, okay, just out in the street. 00:42:35 Speaker 3: Well like, yeah, it was so I was gonna geut of the car once and I saw a bunch of them and I went back in the house. I feelt like there was I have i'm as run in with nature, but I don't really remember them other than coyotes. 00:42:47 Speaker 1: Right, I went camping. I think I'm sure have shoved this story on this podcast before, but years ago, I went camping in the Utah Mountains and there were all these mountain lion attacks in the news. And we were in the tent and something started pushing up against the tent as we're trying to go to sleep. Just kept pushing and pushing and pushing, and we were just like, I, you know, I just thought, Oh, this is the end of my life. How do you get out of this? But we finally left and we went to sleep, and I woke up the next day and there was just one small raccoon paw on the side of the door. Yeah, very cute. It was just coming up and kind of tapping the tent. 00:43:17 Speaker 3: But they're unhands hip. 00:43:18 Speaker 1: Oh they're extremely dangerous. 00:43:20 Speaker 3: But you can get rabies from them. And you could also say, like they have like those nails, like they're like razors. 00:43:24 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course they can do all kinds of things. I learned recently, and I don't know if this is true or not, that a rabbit you don't have to be afraid of a rabbit squirrel because apparently if they get rabies, they die pretty quickly. Their small body can't take the rabies. 00:43:38 Speaker 3: That's good to know because I have a squirrel around my apartment. A lot of squirrels, No one, this one that just sort of hangs out around. 00:43:45 Speaker 1: Oh, that's very sweet. I'm sure it's fine. 00:43:47 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna I'm not going to even test it out by trying to feed it. 00:43:51 Speaker 1: Like I have friends who feed this squirrel. 00:43:53 Speaker 3: No, No, I don't test them. 00:43:56 Speaker 1: They have them come right up to them, they feed them out of their hands. 00:43:58 Speaker 3: No, that's what's there's a reason why that. There's a terminology that says squirrely. 00:44:05 Speaker 1: I'm terrified of rats. And I've been watching Little House on the Prairie and last night I watched the plague episode. And have you ever seen the show. You've got it. You should watch it because it's crazy. 00:44:17 Speaker 3: I'll watch the plague. 00:44:18 Speaker 1: The plague episode is one of the darkest episodes of TV I've ever seen. And there's a scene where the rats are giving everyone the plague typhus or something, and towards the end of the episode, they have to figure out what's going on, and so they break into the grain barn and they must have hired fifty rats to be in the scene, just crawling everywhere. It is disgusting. There's also an episode where there's a raccoon. There's a little girl holding a raccoon right up to her face. I can't. 00:44:44 Speaker 3: You have to see the show. It's worth I love holding rats. It is so adorable. I remember when people would have guinea pigs growing up. I thought there was some. 00:44:57 Speaker 1: I'm not a good I think they sa they don't. They're not cute. 00:45:01 Speaker 3: I don't know I had. I never had, Like did you have pants? I had cat, a dog, and ducks. 00:45:08 Speaker 1: No ducks.

But you had to give you your ducks away. 00:45:39 Speaker 3: We put them on the farm. 00:45:40 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah. We lived kind of in a country ish area, so the ducklings were just out and about and I guess they died or something terrible, terrible, absolutely terrible. They were very cute.

This is for almost for exactly. Why why else celebrate other people if it doesn't involve you. Well, that's true. You've got all these lovely pictures of yourself and your mom. You don't want to just post a picture of her. That's boring for the rest of the internet. You need you in it. 00:51:01 Speaker 3: Well, that is true.

This is from a listener named Sarah Gift a curse celebrities discussing their celebrity friends on podcasts using only their last names. For example, Clooney and I were at brunch the other day and. 00:51:22 Speaker 3: Curse, why Clooney. I mean, if they're your friend, just call them your first the first name. I don't like when people call other people by their last name. 00:51:32 Speaker 1: I don't like it just in general. Yeah, it's very uh going to the gym or like gym class. I don't. 00:51:39 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like like the gym teacher yelling at you wrong. I guess I'm wrong because I'm horrible at this game. 00:51:50 Speaker 1: Pete, that's a gift. I love celebrities. I'm part of the club. I'm part of the gang. I'm in gym class with whoever's friends with Clooney and we're having a great time. We're talking about Clooney's pranks. We're talking about Clooney's tequila. Uh. And it's so casual and fun. 00:52:06 Speaker 3: Well, I know you're talking about George Clue, not Rosemary Clooney. It's not very specific. 00:52:14 Speaker 1: You make a really good voind. Okay, Well you've gotten zero right so far, and that's fine. Number three This is from a listener named Rick. Gif to a curse when your uber driver plays a phone game while driving. Oh, it's a gift. 00:52:29 Speaker 3: I like playing like helps me, like, you know, past the time. I like playing like. You're talking about those games that are in the back of the car. Back in the back of the car. 00:52:37 Speaker 1: See. No, this is when the driver themselves is playing a game. 00:52:40 Speaker 3: Oh no, I don't want them to play a game. They didn't attention to the road. It's a curse. I thought you might have. Sometimes they have the trivia games behind their cars. 00:52:50 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course, and I can play it. 00:52:52 Speaker 3: Yeah, but not still playing it. No, No, No, that's that's a curse. I meant. I can't even get into this. 00:52:59 Speaker 1: No, it's a curve. You lost the game. 00:53:03 Speaker 3: What happened? 00:53:04 Speaker 1: Now, that's a gift. I'm glad that they're entertaining themselves. They're bored at work. Oh wow, I want them to be as happy as I am. And you know they've got a full, rich life. They're they're driving, they're listening to music, they're playing a game, change rights. 00:53:18 Speaker 3: They should turn off. They should have no music play, keep their mouth and their eyes closed, and drive the car. 00:53:25 Speaker 1: Ten and ten and two, driving. 00:53:32 Speaker 3: On the like they're in that race car movie. 00:53:35 Speaker 1: Did you see that movie? No? I don't. 00:53:38 Speaker 2: I don't. 00:53:39 Speaker 1: I don't care either that movie. But I don't think anyone said that I. 00:53:42 Speaker 3: Made a lot of money, but it did. I don't know. 00:53:45 Speaker 1: Once here there's a race car movie. Who's going to see them? 00:53:49 Speaker 3: The race car drivers? 00:53:51 Speaker 1: See? That's I think the most boring idea for a movie to me. Yeah, I mean I don't. 00:53:56 Speaker 3: I don't even want to watch that on television. 00:53:57 Speaker 1: Why're Oh my god? They life fart is boring?

Wow, how many times I go towards my car. I'm like, I don't want to do this and this call left? 00:54:18 Speaker 1: Do you not like driving? 00:54:19 Speaker 3: I hate track? 00:54:20 Speaker 1: Do you like listening to music? 00:54:21 Speaker 3: I like listening to music, and but sometimes I'll drive my car and I won't really go anywhere. I just drive around listen to music, and then if I have to go somewhere, I'll call left. 00:54:31 Speaker 1: Well that's very healthy, thank you. I think that's a great. Yeah, because I don't like driving, but I love listening to music. So maybe I just need to start driving around the block or something, or you. 00:54:40 Speaker 3: Just get headphones and walk out the door. 00:54:43 Speaker 1: That's true. But there's something nice about driving and blasting music. And blasting music, I agree, it feels great. I just feel good. What sort of music are you're listening to? 00:54:52 Speaker 3: Well, I listened to a lot of like nineties. 00:54:54 Speaker 1: R and B oh fantastic. That's good music to blast a loud Yeah, yeah, very good. Okay, Well, now Analis is going to do gifter curse. They have one suggestion that we both have to speak to and then they'll tell us if we're right or wrong. Okay, at least, what's the gift of a curse? 00:55:08 Speaker 4: Gift a curse pet strollers. 00:55:11 Speaker 1: Oh it's a giff. 00:55:13 Speaker 3: Why so sweet to see there's a little there's little pets in that little baby carriage. I'm happy. Like sometimes the baby cariach is coming towards me, I'm like, oh, another another child in the world. And then I say, oh, no, it's it's it's a little puppy. It's a little kid, and it's so cute. I think they're cuterer than babies, so I think it's a caff I agree. 00:55:38 Speaker 1: I think it's a gift. I love to see one. I love in catalogs when they have a little like poodle and sitting in a carriage. I think it's very cute. And again, what a great point. I'm always disappointed when it's a baby. I have no interest in seeing a baby. But they all look alike, they look identical to each other. But pets, little little pets look different. Oh they're all different. And it's a special little ride for them. You know how excited they are. 00:56:01 Speaker 3: Did you ever see one that has a little little carriage and then side there's a raccoon smoke and a crack pipe. 00:56:09 Speaker 1: The cutest possible thing you could have made? It so sweet? A rodent with a drug problem and a baby carriage its own little instrument. 00:56:19 Speaker 3: Paraphernal. 00:56:20 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a gift, an absolute gift. How could that possibly be a curse? 00:56:27 Speaker 4: Of course it's a gift. There's no other possible answer. 00:56:29 Speaker 1: Of course. 00:56:30 Speaker 4: It's such a lovely surprise. 00:56:32 Speaker 1: So sweet. Anyone who doesn't like that can just sign off, blast off. Do you know what My boyfriend was just saying, he thinks that they invited Oprah on the ship, and she said, no, take Gail. Do you think that's true? 00:56:48 Speaker 3: One hundred percent believe that's true. One hundred percent believe that's true. And I also believe that Stegman is. I was like, do it, Gail, you're so annoying. We got to get rid of you. 00:56:57 Speaker 1: He bullied her and into it. You shoved her in there because she didn't want to go. She looked bullied, She. 00:57:04 Speaker 3: Looked bullied, she was terrified the whole time. I was like, he's making girl go. And then that's why I took out my magnifying glass and I solved it. Steedman. Steedman made girl go up in space. 00:57:14 Speaker 1: Blast Do you think there was a fight. Do you think they got in a fight like Oprah was arguing with her, you have to do this. 00:57:20 Speaker 3: There's fighting with oh, that's right, she had to do it. 00:57:25 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like an icy demand. 00:57:27 Speaker 3: She's like, I'm not going, but you are last off. 00:57:32 Speaker 1: Next thing, the next thing. 00:57:34 Speaker 3: Girls don't know how to put on a seat belt. That's that was the biggest training lesson that they did for that. They're like, well, I learned how to pay in a seat belt. Have you been to space? 00:57:47 Speaker 1: But you think the other two wanted to go Katie and Lauren. 00:57:50 Speaker 3: Well, Kenny was up in Space looking for some new fans because she's desperate. She's out, she's out of fans. 00:57:57 Speaker 1: She almost got bounced off her butterfly. Did I saw that? 00:57:59 Speaker 3: Yeah, shows up in the air at her at her concert and riding a butterfly. First of all, there's too many of these celebrities up in the air riding around in things. 00:58:07 Speaker 1: They all want to be pink. They want to be pink. 00:58:09 Speaker 3: Beyonce was on a flying car and the must collaps It almost tipped over. And then Katy Perry is the most you know about like a skew. 00:58:18 Speaker 1: Yes, they must be strapped in. 00:58:21 Speaker 3: There's jop dead but it's like it's a thing now Ever, since Pink flew around, they think that everyone can fly. 00:58:27 Speaker 1: But Pink is really doing it. I've never seen her live, but people like, even people who don't like Pink or like, you've got to see that lady. 00:58:32 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean I've seen clips on YouTube run inside Edition, but I've first seen it live. 00:58:40 Speaker 1: I would love to see Pink fly through the air. Yeah, she should do a music less event where she just flies through the air. I don't even care if the music's plus. 00:58:47 Speaker 3: She will she will. 00:58:51 Speaker 1: Is that a pretty recent addition to her shows? 00:58:54 Speaker 3: I guess maybe in the last five or six years. 00:58:57 Speaker 1: Do you think there was a moment when she's just like, we've got to do something. Well, she was a geminast, oh before being Pink. 00:59:03 Speaker 3: Before being Pink, she was a geminast. She had it inside of her. 00:59:06 Speaker 1: Oh she has a whole life, whole life before being Pink. Wow, good for her. And now she's been copied, she probably feels pretty good. 00:59:13 Speaker 3: She should see them all, have them all go to jail, se sue them in the jail. We can't get Jesse smile and jail. Let's get everybody else that flies in the air into jail. I got to get people in the jail. 00:59:32 Speaker 1: If there's one person you could put in celebrities, celebrities, yes, what what's the number one celebrity would put in jail. It's very difficult. You have to name one celebrity that has to go to jail. 00:59:48 Speaker 3: Well, I have had such a long list. I can't even think of Hard Gosh, Darnutt, oh, Tom Brady. 00:59:55 Speaker 1: Oh my god. 00:59:57 Speaker 3: For the commercials, just just like just put them away for a minute, because you know what, like we had I thought we would see him for a while after he retired from football. But then he's like talking, he's on I guess he's. 01:00:09 Speaker 1: Doing those horrible car rental commercials. It's not Carshield, it's not Carshield. No, he's doing some sort of car rental thing and trying to be funny. 01:00:18 Speaker 3: Well, he was at that wedding too that everybody. 01:00:20 Speaker 1: Went to, Oh of course, did he have a date? 01:00:24 Speaker 3: Not things, So they said he was flirting with Sweeney. 01:00:28 Speaker 1: Sydney Swing Sidney, she was there. Exactly what was this guest? I discussed? 01:00:33 Speaker 3: This was like they closed they closed their eyes and through a dart on a celebrity. 01:00:37 Speaker 1: Board had a kid's choice. 01:00:39 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly whoever they had gotten by it. And then these ding dogs went, oh my god. 01:00:45 Speaker 1: Oh I had no idea. Well, if she that would be a huge character flaw. If she ends up dating Tom Brady, I mean, well, send them both to Chase, send them to jail. That should be a new email this podcast. Who should go to jail? Okay, this is the final segment of the podcast. People are writing into I said no gifts at gmail dot com. They're sending voice notes they have to be sixty seconds long, recorded in a quiet place, or emails. We help me answer our listener question. Okay, this is hybridger and guest. Before I sound like a narcissistic monster, let me explain. I'm a woman in my mid thirties and a long term, committed relationship with another woman in her third mid thirties. Yeah, well, unfortunately we just have to delete the email and shut down the show. Okay. The problem is she hates choosing gifts and always will buy whatever I ask for. For example, for our most recent anniversary, she asked for gift ideas, so I sent her an email with a bunch of links, and she got me every single thing. She's so generous and sweet, but she started asking me what I want for my birthday. I want to give her options that aren't crazy expensive, but I also don't want to lowball myself either. Example of gifts I've received kitchen gadgets, designer bags, slash wallets, earrings, perfume, fancy makeup. I think it's obvious why I'm starting to feel guilty. Okay, whatever I've tried saying, anything from you will be precious to me. But she's never satisfied until I send her some ideas. Help me. You're my only hope. And that's from Nicole. So Nicole has no she's hopeless. First of all, she's been taking advantage of her partner. She's in this relationship where she's just kind of uh draining this other woman financially. She's bragging and she's a huge braggerg and she's putting herself in the spotlight constantly. And now she's asking for advice. What do you do with someone like this? Ask her for a La booboo, ask her for a black labooba. 01:02:50 Speaker 3: Ask her for a black labooba. 01:02:51 Speaker 1: If she can't get you that reship, start packing now. 01:02:55 Speaker 3: Packing up, pack up, pack up everything, she gave you, which well probably took a while. Yeah, trucks, that's everything that she needs. 01:03:02 Speaker 1: She probably owns the home. 01:03:04 Speaker 3: I need some kitchen gadget. I need a fire that doesn't make my my fuse box explode. 01:03:12 Speaker 1: Can I have one? Yeah? This first of all, Nicole, start offloading some of your things. Send Peep one of those thank you. Ask for two laboo boos. One should be sent to Pete thank you. Maybe some uh munchausens by proxy. I had to have that. I have. I have bunch. She might have it with her partner, lesbian partner. 01:03:33 Speaker 3: I need a proxy. I just have the bunch. It's incomplete sets. 01:03:40 Speaker 1: That's going to be the next chraze. 01:03:42 Speaker 3: Munch housing by proxy. 01:03:44 Speaker 1: All tweens are getting houses by proxy for Christmas. 01:03:48 Speaker 3: It's all about happen. I'm gonna put that out there. I'm gonna put my vision board. 01:03:55 Speaker 1: So you feel like Nicole needs a la boo boo. She has a black lab Yeah she had, I mean i've she doesn't. As of recording, she doesn't own a single laboo boo. She might be dating Rachel Dolezo for all we know. We don't know who this other partner is I don't know sexually where Rachel lands, but I'm sure she's willing to She's whatever you need her to be good for Rachel. Nicole turned to Rachel right now and say, I want a la booboo or I'm leaving you. And I feel like we've answered the question perfectly. Have I'm glad, she wrote in me too. Who else could she have possibly asked? 01:04:39 Speaker 3: Nobody could have helped her by. 01:04:40 Speaker 1: And now she's gotten this blast of attention that she needs. That's her little high for the day. And now she's going to start looking for her next high, and she's gonna end up with a raccoon with a crack. She's lucky, very lucky. She's so lucky. Well, we answered the question perfectly. I have my magnifying glass, and I'm so through that you could be here. 01:05:01 Speaker 3: I'm so happy that you had me here. 01:05:02 Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, and listener, the podcast is now screeching to a halt. There's nothing you can do about it. You have to figure out something else to do with your day. I don't know what it'll be, ah, but I wish you luck and move on.
