0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>as if his life depended on it, and the truth was,

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and it did. It's kind of a rich man poor

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>man's game, a little bit like Hard Target with John

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>glad pan Damn, where he had to survive as a

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>rich man hunted him. But this was a different kind

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>of game. This was more of a corporate style hunting game.

0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.520

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:04.360

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>understanding what it is that she wants. She wants me

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to put my cocaine on the on the table, the

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:33.040

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.320

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.120

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>this point. I mean, it's like, let's just be clear,

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.119
<v Speaker 1>we're basically all doing fent and all know what's doing heroin? Anymore? Hard?

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.360

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>is spent and all if you test it because it's

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.760

<v Speaker 1>week's team strategy. It's important to have one. If you don't,

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you need to make one up on the fly,

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>right there on the spot. Let stay with us at one.

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>She wrote him a long letter, but he didn't read it.

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>It was a letter she wrote, is the therapeutic more

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>of a cathartic? Things she did and I cope, a

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of problems sent it to him, but you just

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>never read it, or maybe he did. I just didn't

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 1>tell her. He read it pretty hungry for tonight? I

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.719
<v Speaker 1>guess mac and cheese. Dada. Nobody asked me why I

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 1>want it? Elizabeth? What do you want for dinner tonight? No? No, no,

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>what is your daughter? One? I think that's what do

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you want? Honey? And Elizabeth? And I guess it's mac

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and cheese? Right again? Yeah? So sweet? Do you want

0:09:58.559 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>me to put the milk in it? Or do you

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>want just the butter? I like it when it's just

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the butter, just a splash a bill. It's good. I mean,

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.560
<v Speaker 1>it's what the instructions say. I feel like we should

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.680
<v Speaker 1>go with work rap. Okay, what's what's the problem? Know nothing,

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I just us just blow it out my ask because

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm lactose intolerant, as you know, because you're my husband,

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:22.640
<v Speaker 1>and um this my stepdaughter, sweetheart? Can you can you

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>give your stepmother night some? I prefer Elizabeth? Please? Is

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>it a stepmother part that's that's upsetting you? Still? Yeah? Still? Still,

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>it's been like two months or something, Dad like, it's weird. Well,

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't very weird for us. Well, I'm going to

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 1>go I'm just saying that, okay, Sorry, no go no, no,

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>you want to every time I say something, you try

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>to say something, Sweetie, I'm just gonna go ahead and

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>set the microwave, and then if you could just just

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>watch it and just make sure that there's no problems

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 1>with the microwave. Maybe what's wrong? What is it? What

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 1>do you mean what's wrong? I just was very open

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 1>about what's wrong. When when I said what was wrong

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.679
<v Speaker 1>earlier about the up at the macaroni, did I not

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>give you the tone that lets you know that I'm

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.959
<v Speaker 1>a pretty perceptive guy. But just having to constantly read

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>between the lines with you, it's a little bit tough. Okay,

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to keep the piece here. It's only been

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple of months. My daughter here, she's still clearly

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>having some some trouble adjusting to this new life. If

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you could do me a favor and we could just

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of keep the pizza here, you know what, how's

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 1>it going over there, sweetheart with the microwave? Microwave is fine? Dad,

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you mind if Elizabeth and I have a little

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>conversation my wife? Yes, yeah, your wife. Okay, yes, Elizabeth,

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go watch the microwave ahead. What you want

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to talk about girl stuff? No, I just want to

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 1>let you know that I'm keeping a list of what

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>every time that you anger my dad. I don't think

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I anger him. You don't think you anger my dad.

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I think I bring a lot of joy to his life.

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>If I didn't, do you think he might not have

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 1>put this on my finger. I think what you don't

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>understand is that my father is actually just a child.

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>He needed a woman who could run a house. He

0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>was drowning before he met. Sounds like maybe you're running

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the house a little more than I am because we've

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 1>had macaroni and cheese for two weeks now. Don't you think?

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>How are my girls doing? You guys working it out? Yeah? Yeah,

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I think things are great. Good, Okay, we got them

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.719
<v Speaker 1>progress to you give us maybe five more minutes he

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>minus thirty seconds with that mac and cheese. But you

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>know what yeah, yeah, yea, yeah, yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I bet it's yeah. Okay, go yeah, We're gonna have

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:27.200
<v Speaker 1>mac and cheese every day until I'm satisfied. Okay, Oh

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe sometimes your mac and cheese taste a little different.

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe one day you're not gonna want mac and cheese.

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 1>What are you gonna do to it? Just that some

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.719
<v Speaker 1>flavor flavor that's wrong with that? Are you insinuating that

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>I would do something wrong? Are you insinuating you're gonna

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 1>like pissing my mac and cheese? First of all, that's

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 1>a very sophomoric thing to do to someone's mac and cheese,

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to piss in their maga cheese. I think you'd taste that.

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:50.719
<v Speaker 1>I think what I would do is very special, and

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say that the silly would taste it. Try me.

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's just eat tonight, just see how this night goes. Sweetheart,

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.559
<v Speaker 1>my wife, would you like to say grace months? Yes? Absolutely?

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to hold my hand with pleasure? I'll

0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:08.679
<v Speaker 1>put mine in prayer position? We can still hold hand? Yes,

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 1>we can? Okay? That tickles, Okay, prayer position is all right.

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:19.679
<v Speaker 1>Dear Lord, thank you for this mac and cheese. Thank

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.679
<v Speaker 1>you for just this roof over our heads. Thank you

<v Speaker 1>for this wonderful husband's caring and loving and not upset.

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't upset you. I think I'm okay for now. Yeah,

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>why do I seem with you, you wouldn't be upset

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>about anything I did. But I think I'm okay, and

0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 1>thank you for this lovely, young, blossoming young lady who's

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 1>in our home, in our home, and uh is growing

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>up before my very eyes. And I'm very thankful for

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>that opportunity to see her grow into something that's very

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 1>beautiful until the end. Okay, it's getting cold, all right,

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 1>sounds really great, wasn't Wasn'tizabeth your my my? What? You're

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the woman who married me, and who is I mean

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:12.079
<v Speaker 1>technically assumes the role of stepparent to you whenever you're

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 1>comfortable enough calling her that. It wasn't that great with

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth did just now? I guess I like my prayer

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a little more. Okay, Okay, some poetic, I guess, but

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what I thought. You're gonna say, mac and cheese.

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. I really a little more cheesy, maybe with

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the Macaronian. Okay, I think Elizabeth should take the first bite. Okay,

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 1>you didn't want to add anything to the to the grace,

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>so you're happy with what she did. I am thinking

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>it's fine. It's fine. One. We're all getting closer. I

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.000

0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>take the first bite. You want her to take the

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 1>first bite. I think that's interesting. You want me to

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 1>take the she takes the first You know what, I

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.960

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth to take the first bite if she really does

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.560

<v Speaker 1>make sure that I'm rooming with a girl, just because

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Keith is coming on a little strong noted, would you

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:48.119
<v Speaker 1>mind terribly. If I sideboard with Keith for just a moment,

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:52.200
<v Speaker 1>will straighten all this out? Keith, she doesn't seem into

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.480
<v Speaker 1>it all right, Well you know, I'm just I think

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 1>you might be wrong. But she's throwing you all the

0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 1>signals that she doesn't really love it. So here's what

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.199
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do. She's throwing me all right to but

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.399
<v Speaker 1>that's just me. I don't know because she remedy that

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 1>she did that with her one strand of hair. Just

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:09.320
<v Speaker 1>just try to just hang back a little bit. Then

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:11.479
<v Speaker 1>the litter. She does have a legitimate question. How are

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 1>we going to answer that? Why am I here? Okay,

0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll make something up. Hi, Hi, I am back? Okay,

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:24.880
<v Speaker 1>So I I sideboard with Keith, and actually turns out

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 1>that Keith is a you know how installs they have

0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:35.000
<v Speaker 1>secret chaps, right, he's like one of those. He is

0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 1>like he's here for lost prevention. Well, I mean he's

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 1>like auditing the facility. Okay, he wasn't supposed to blow

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:48.200
<v Speaker 1>his cover that early, and he is a can I suggest, male,

0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't mean to overstep my bound or

0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 1>if you want them to audit this, I feel like

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.919
<v Speaker 1>maybe a wig? Yes, two people. He need wigs that

0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:58.880
<v Speaker 1>we can all agree. No, I have a medical condition.

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:02.399
<v Speaker 1>Al right, I thought it was punk rock, Keith, let's not.

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 1>What did we say about harassing and insulting the other?

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Don't do it while you're around? Yet, No, don't do

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:11.919
<v Speaker 1>it while you're around. They do not do it? Okay,

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 1>all right, So so what are we going to do

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 1>to help you work on yourself? Honestly, I think I

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.160
<v Speaker 1>don't need to work on myself. I'm pretty sure that

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the reason I'm here is because the woman who married

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 1>my dad is a bitch, and she's been slowly trying

0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to force me out, and I think a little time

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 1>alone with her my dad's going to realize how bad

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:35.280
<v Speaker 1>she really is. I'm in a similar situation. My my

0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.919
<v Speaker 1>mom and my dad don't want me. Okay, we know

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:42.159
<v Speaker 1>that this isn't true. We were established. I write letters

0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:46.880
<v Speaker 1>adding every day you do. Yeah, it's actually kind of sweet, Keith. Yeah.

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I never sent it to them, but I write them.

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Ok why don't you send them? Yeah? Because there for

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 1>me before you like therapeutic for you, and so you

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know, bingo, how is that helping? You're still hear it?

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 1>But I'm different than I got here? Think about it?

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Are you stronger than you were? What? Else? You know? What? Miraculously? Yeah,

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Keith has some good advice. Have you considered writing a

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:13.919
<v Speaker 1>letter to your your father and your step what are

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:17.159
<v Speaker 1>we calling her? Elizabeth? Okay? Well, have you considered writing

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 1>a letter to Elizabeth and your father and telling them

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:24.080
<v Speaker 1>how you feel as opposed to just exploding in fits

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>of rage and hurling accusations towards them, thus winding you

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:32.320
<v Speaker 1>up in a facility such as this one? I haven't okay,

0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:34.240
<v Speaker 1>so what should we should do? That? All that stuff? Then,

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:36.919

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:55.439

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:38.119
<v Speaker 1>an end, right. I think that it's very suspicious that

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 1>you met her right before mom died, and then the

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>second she died, Elizabeth just moved in. I think that's weird.

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Like whose caregiver who's on hospice, Like what hospice nurse

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:55.439
<v Speaker 1>ends up marrying the dude that she cared for his

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 1>fucking dying wife. That's weird. Okay, Um, you know what

<v Speaker 1>living in San Diego working at the Old Globe because

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:30.160

0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I gotta work in regional theater. Didn't like it. And

0:31:33.080 --> 0:31:35.160
<v Speaker 1>then I kind of realized like what regional theater really

0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:37.560
<v Speaker 1>was and it wasn't what I thought I was. And

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:40.160

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:45.680
<v Speaker 1>to Pam Melkin. She changed my life and I mentioned her.

0:31:45.720 --> 0:31:47.280

<v Speaker 1>my parents and said I'm moving to l A. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>looking doors. You're not looking at the bar. You will

0:34:33.320 --> 0:34:38.400
<v Speaker 1>not look at the barracks. Sorry, you will get a

0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:41.760
<v Speaker 1>parking pass. You get a parking pass, you will unfortunately,

0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 1>have to park across the street at City Hall on

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:45.719
<v Speaker 1>the other side of record. Yeah, well you'll have to

0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:48.440
<v Speaker 1>park there. Um, there's a vending machine that's right over here.

0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:50.279
<v Speaker 1>They also have them honey buns, and if you see

0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:53.600
<v Speaker 1>those with a white blaze. Nothing people ever come in

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 1>here and they're asking if they can get a permit

0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:58.239
<v Speaker 1>to build on their land. That's in city Hall on

0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the other side right as a building. I'm kind of

0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:05.320
<v Speaker 1>scared to ask. But if someone comes out of that door,

0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:09.960
<v Speaker 1>which door better not be the barracks. Doore that you're

0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:11.759
<v Speaker 1>talking about. No one's ever coming out of that door.

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:14.319
<v Speaker 1>Never you mind if anybody comes out that door, So

0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:20.480
<v Speaker 1>help me Christ Almighty. If you even think about the

0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:23.960
<v Speaker 1>barracks door even existing, we're going to have a problem. Also,

0:35:24.000 --> 0:35:26.239
<v Speaker 1>if you could just not raise your hand like that

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:29.840
<v Speaker 1>when you talk to me, it's just make a fist. Yeah. Well,

0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm serious about two things. Weddings being up to code

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:38.600
<v Speaker 1>firewise with the center pieces. The second thing is you're

0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:41.920
<v Speaker 1>not going those barracks come out of those bars, not

0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:44.680
<v Speaker 1>going those barracks. Gonna wake up and apologize. Thank you.

0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. Okay. Also, I know that you go by

0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Chief Gregory. Is there something I should be using when

0:35:51.840 --> 0:35:55.080
<v Speaker 1>you call me Gregory? Okay? I can't help, but notice

0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:59.040
<v Speaker 1>your eyes are drifting from making eye contact with me

0:35:59.200 --> 0:36:02.879
<v Speaker 1>towards the door to the It's just just really intimidating.

0:36:02.960 --> 0:36:05.239
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like if I looked down, I looked disrespectful.

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:06.279
<v Speaker 1>So I'm trying to look at the side, but they

0:36:06.320 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 1>were literally the only place to look is that door.

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:11.480
<v Speaker 1>You can also look up. You can also look diagonal.

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I can't do that. My eyes don't work that way.

0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Mine do look well. And also there's a Collie's Fudge

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:18.120
<v Speaker 1>right across the street if you'd like to have some

0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Collies Fudge situation for you. There, Um only like seven

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:28.319
<v Speaker 1>eight months, and would you do that? Seven eight months

0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:30.480
<v Speaker 1>because I had to be a permanent temp and I

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:33.319
<v Speaker 1>needed healthcare. And so then I went and I was

0:36:33.440 --> 0:36:37.279
<v Speaker 1>the executive assistant to a celebrity chef. UM, and I

0:36:37.320 --> 0:36:40.200
<v Speaker 1>worked at his restaurant, and um, I'd never worked in

0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the restaurant world before, and I didn't realize, like that's

0:36:42.680 --> 0:36:46.839
<v Speaker 1>a whole fucking thing. Like what was his name, Chef

0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:49.560
<v Speaker 1>David Myers? He was a James Beard winner. We won

0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the Wine Grand Award from One Spectator the year that

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:54.799
<v Speaker 1>I worked there. Yeah, so like they just needed someone

0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:57.239
<v Speaker 1>to work in the office and so I same thing,

0:36:57.280 --> 0:37:00.040
<v Speaker 1>like handled paperwork for the employees at the actual it

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:03.120
<v Speaker 1>was any any crazy things happen. The thing I loved

0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:07.000
<v Speaker 1>about working there was every night at five pm, I

0:37:07.040 --> 0:37:08.719
<v Speaker 1>got to go to family meal, which I also I

0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 1>had never worked in a restaurant before, so like to

0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:14.120
<v Speaker 1>a poor person pursuing comedy, like getting a free dinner

0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 1>every night was huge. Oh and then there was one

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:19.560
<v Speaker 1>night where we I newly started working there, and there

0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:21.359
<v Speaker 1>was also a new bookkeeper and they came to us

0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:22.880
<v Speaker 1>and they were like, we want you to know, like

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:29.680
<v Speaker 1>know what it's like to eat here. So each of

0:37:29.680 --> 0:37:32.080
<v Speaker 1>you can bring a guest and you can have dinner here.

0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:33.640
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, oh, me and my best friend

0:37:33.680 --> 0:37:35.680
<v Speaker 1>are gonna have the best night of our lives. And

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:37.560
<v Speaker 1>then the bookkeeper was like, well, why don't we just

0:37:37.600 --> 0:37:39.400
<v Speaker 1>go together, so then it's just the two of us,

0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and I was just like, you fucking dick, Like, why

0:37:42.160 --> 0:37:43.960
<v Speaker 1>would you do that? So then I had to just

0:37:44.000 --> 0:37:45.960
<v Speaker 1>sitting and have dinner with a coworker and it was

0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:48.239
<v Speaker 1>one of the best meals I've ever had in my life.

0:37:48.440 --> 0:37:50.560
<v Speaker 1>It just didn't know him, and he got really drunk

0:37:50.600 --> 0:37:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and cried and said we were gonna be the best

0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:54.239
<v Speaker 1>of friends, and then we ended up not getting along

0:37:54.280 --> 0:37:56.759
<v Speaker 1>the time I worked there. I think we have I

0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:59.840
