1
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: And I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear.

2
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: But you're a guest in my home. You gotta come

3
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: to me empty. And I said, no gifts. You're presences

4
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: presents enough. I already had too much stuff, So how

5
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: did you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I I'm Bridgard Wineger.

7
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: We're here in the backyard. I went to Disneyland yesterday.

8
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: There's just no way of me not talking about it,

9
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: not at least bringing it up, because who knows how

10
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: it's going to color my behavior over the course of

11
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: this episode. But that's all I have to I mean,

12
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: that's not all I have to say. Maybe we will

13
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: talk about it, and you can tell that I'm really

14
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: just falling a part even bringing it up. Let's bring

15
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: the guests on. The guest is so funny, Irene too

16
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: welcome to I said.

17
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: No gifts, thank you for having me.

18
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: Of course, this energy I've brought today is I blame

19
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: it entirely on Disneyland.

20
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: On Disneyland. Have you been to disney I've never been

21
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: to Disneyland. You've never been to Disney I've been to

22
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: Disney World. Okay, which I heard is better. Anyways, I

23
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 3: went a lot when I was a kid because I'm

24
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: from the Midwest, it was right closer. But I've not

25
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: been to Disneyland. I do want to go.

26
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: Hell on Earth, really, I look, I've been so many

27
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: times I've been. I think I've finally reached my breaking point.

28
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: Why do you keep going?

29
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: Then, Well, it's usually someone's in town. Yesterday my sister

30
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: and her family were in town, so I spent the

31
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty dollars I drive to Disneyland and

32
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: just had a Truly, it's not a good experience.

33
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: What's bad, Like the lines are the kids.

34
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: It's hard to pinpoint, but like maybe four hours into

35
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: the day, I started thinking, if I were to design

36
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: a prison, I would I don't know that it would

37
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: be exactly like Disneyland, but I it probably wouldn't be

38
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: that much different. Wow, there's something. There's an element of

39
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: just draining you and punishment that feels very inherent to

40
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: the somebody's designed it that way.

41
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: I think I haven't gone yet because I don't like

42
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 3: large crowds, and Disneyland is a lot large crowds. I

43
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: don't like a lot of children, a lot of kids,

44
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: so really not much going for me. But I do

45
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: love Mickey Mouse.

46
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's one point for Disney, one.

47
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: Point for all the mascots and the costumes and everything else.

48
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: I don't like.

49
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: Do you like the rides?

50
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: I like a ride that's not too scary.

51
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: Nice, gentle, right, yeah, such as like a like I

52
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: don't like.

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 3: Any of like that upside down stuff like when I would. Yes,

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: I don't like roller coasters. I also don't like spinning teacups.

55
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: Those make me ill.

56
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: Spinning teacups late in life development for me, the nausea.

57
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: I used to be able to do them.

58
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, I've always wanted to throw up immediately after.

59
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: It's a horrible experience.

60
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 3: I don't know how anyone has fun on those. Well.

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: I think there's just like there are people built differently

62
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: than you and I who I like. It's almost like

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: a different species that's like able to enjoy just being

64
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: flung around over and over and over.

65
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, you like wanting to almost throw up,

66
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: Like that's fun for you.

67
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: But that's not what they're feeling. Their perspective is I'm

68
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: in heaven. I'm having the time of my life.

69
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: I don't know where I am, and that's fun, Like

70
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: I always want to know where I am.

71
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: You don't like just being completely disorient.

72
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. I never want to be disoriented.

73
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I though like get I rode the Teacups probably

74
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: for my last time in two thousand and seven. I

75
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: remember got off and it felt like I had had

76
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: the flu for four days. I mean, just awful experience, terrible.

77
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: I can't do that. But I do like a spooky ride.

78
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: I like a thrill.

79
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: Okay, I enjoyed nice little someone pops out. It's like booh, okay,

80
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: you know, like that's kind of fun. For a second.

81
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: When were you in Disney World?

82
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: I went a lot, like as a kid, because that's

83
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: where we would go for like for some vacation. Right. Yeah.

84
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: So, and did you have a favorite ride while you

85
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: were there?

86
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: No, I don't really remember. I guess the last time

87
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: I went to Disney World was maybe four or five

88
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 3: years ago. We went with Mike, my grandparents, and we

89
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: went to Epcot. I don't think there's a ton of

90
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: rides at Epcot.

91
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: No, it's kind of like a weird school fair about

92
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: the world.

93
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, there's like a little bit of what each country, right,

94
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 3: But not like enough, no, not enough, Yeah, nothing good.

95
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: Just kind of vague notions of what other countries are.

96
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: It's like, here's some food that kind of tastes like

97
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: it's from this area, and it's really overpriced.

98
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: Imagine if every restaurant in that country was a cafeteria.

99
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, Epcot. I think my family went there

100
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: when I was in eighth grade.

101
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: I feel like Epcot, you only need to go one

102
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 3: time and you don't ever need to go again.

103
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, what would there be left to do?

104
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 2: I guess if you consider it just like a's like

105
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: going to the park and you're just like walking around

106
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: and a really expensive park full of Floridians yeah, and tourists. Yeah.

107
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: Uh.

108
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: The Disney experience is I guess I'll probably just keep

109
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: getting roped into it because people keep coming to town.

110
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: Well, why don't you go to Universal Studios. That's where

111
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: I really want to go, because they have Harry Potter World.

112
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: People love the Harry Potter World. But Universal Studios to

113
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 2: me is just a huge, huge, huge slab of concrete

114
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: burned by the sun. The last time I was there

115
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: was actually at night for their what is it, Hollywood

116
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: Horror Nights. Or sure horrible experience, really truly terrible. Maybe

117
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: I just hate going to all.

118
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: Of these you don't like theme parts.

119
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to just come on here and hurt. I mean,

120
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: these things bring a lot of people joy, and I

121
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: don't want to diminish that for other people. But the

122
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: Halloween Horror Nights was bad. I think that it was

123
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: just an objectively bad experience.

124
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: Like they were. It was too scary, or it was

125
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 3: just like that fun.

126
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: It was not fun. I love like a haunted house.

127
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 2: I love going through a haunted house, but this is

128
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: more just truly waiting in line with teenagers for hours

129
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 2: on end and then maybe five minutes through a haunted house,

130
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: and then it's what twelve thirty and you've been through

131
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: one haunted house and this was ninety dollars. That's not

132
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: for me.

133
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could just go to my parents' basement. Oh God,

134
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: memories scary? Do you like it?

135
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: Have you ever been through one of these haunted houses?

136
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 3: I actually haven't.

137
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 2: Haven't.

138
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 3: No, I've never gone to a haunted house.

139
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: Does that hold any appeal to you? For you?

140
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: I am surprised that I never thought about it until

141
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: right now. I was like, oh, I've never been to

142
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: a haunted house. I would go right just to experience it,

143
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: but no one's ever asked me to go. And like,

144
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: I've never gotten a haunted house invite, and I'm not

145
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: going to go by myself.

146
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: No, terrible, that feels that's sad, strange in so many ways. Yeah, no, no,

147
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: to just show up at one there. Basically it's like

148
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: a big warehouse and then you wait in a line

149
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: alone and then you wander through alone.

150
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, that's that's how you get murdered.

151
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: Oh that's how you murder.

152
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, either way, there's murder involved.

153
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: That feels like a and you know what happens. It's

154
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: happening all the time. There are people people going to

155
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: these things alone, certainly, and I'm a big advocate of

156
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: going to things alone, but not a haunted house. That

157
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense to me, no zero sense at all.

158
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: But I do of a hunted house, it sounds like

159
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to be the theviter.

160
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are some point could invite me whoever's listening

161
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: to this podcast.

162
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: And they can bo out. I mean, it's desperate to.

163
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: Pay for it as well, because I don't want to

164
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: pay ninety dollars.

165
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, those U And apparently someone was telling me

166
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: recently that the Halloween Haunted Horror Nights or whatever the

167
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: hell it is called. You can pay an extra like

168
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars to skip the lines, but then you

169
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: are truly paying two hundred dollars to get scared, to

170
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: get spooked a little bit. No, it's it's not happening

171
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: for me, No, thank you. I would think for weeks after, Oh,

172
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: I could have bought a nice lamp all.

173
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: By several lamps, several mediocre lamps.

174
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: Yes, a bunch of horrible lamps. Just fill your home

175
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: with bad lamps. I've been drying. I've been doing some

176
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: light lamp shopping recently. I need a floor lamp, and

177
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: I can't.

178
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: Those are really hard to buy. They're so hard to

179
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: buy now my mom was trying to get one for

180
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: our house and she gave up.

181
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: I've kind of First of all, the pricing is pure mahem.

182
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: I mean I don't like, I don't know what like

183
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: the a normal price.

184
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 3: For a flo I also don't know what a normal

185
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: price is. But the ones we were looking at that

186
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: were nice were crazy expensive.

187
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: Like, what sort of pricing are we looking at here.

188
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: I think it was between one and two thousand dollars.

189
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 3: My god, but I think we were like in New

190
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: Orleans and we were just kind of like window shopping

191
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: and she was like, Oh, this looks cool, and I

192
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: was like, that is really expensive.

193
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: So these were like lamp boutiques.

194
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 3: Yes, I think, so, okay.

195
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, the lamps I've been recently circling are like in

196
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 2: the three to four hundred dollars range, which still feels

197
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: like a lot of money to me. And then there

198
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 2: are like lamps between one and two hundred dollars. I'm like,

199
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: those look like they cost one hundred dollars.

200
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want like an Ikea looking lamp.

201
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. So I've kind of just given up.

202
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: But it was just gonna be dark in your Yeah,

203
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: I mean it has been for two years. I will

204
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: just suffer. I mean the lengths I will suffer or

205
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: it's a bottomless pit.

206
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: I can't wait to get a house and then pay

207
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: someone to interior decorate my house. I do not want

208
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: to do any of the.

209
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: Furnishing, but that costs so much money.

210
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: I know, but at least I don't have to think

211
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: about it and then not buy anything, and then I've

212
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: wasted time.

213
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: Are you like, and I have an empty house? Are

214
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: you efficient with time use? No?

215
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: I would like to be, but I do spend a

216
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: lot of time just like worrying or like, am I

217
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: like is this the right decision? And that occupies a

218
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 3: lot of brain space? So I would rather pay someone

219
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 3: to do it for me and then I don't have

220
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 3: to think about it.

221
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's very much my mindset. I'm so bad.

222
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: I'm paralyzed by decision making. Choice scares me. When you're

223
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: not able to make a decision, what does that look like?

224
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: Are you just staring at your phone? Are you watching TV? Uh?

225
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: Both? Okay, yeah, a lot of staring at my phone,

226
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: watching TV, just doing other tasks and then not completing

227
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: the one that I was trying to.

228
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: Decide, avoid avoid avoid, Yes, okay. And how do you

229
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: ultimately make decisions?

230
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 3: It's whatever speaks to me at some point, which sounds

231
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: so stupid, But at some point I will decide because

232
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, this is the right decision, but it

233
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 3: takes so long that I would have rather just chosen

234
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: the wrong thing to begin with, you.

235
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: Know, right, Like, and I guess that's a good mindset

236
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 2: of like, just make the wrong choice, then you'll know

237
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: it was wrong at least, and you can start working

238
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: towards the right choice to do it. I can't either.

239
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 2: I'm I'm terrified the wrong choice is going to ruin.

240
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: Everything I know. But you know it won't.

241
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: Oh, of course logically, Yeah, if you look at it

242
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: in any rational or realistic way, of course it's not

243
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 2: going to ruin your life. But tell my brain that.

244
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess it's just like perfectionism, you know.

245
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: But there's no element of my life that feels like

246
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: it was done by a perfection So that's also a problem.

247
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's uh. Things to work through, things

248
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: to work through. Halloween's coming up. I don't have a costume,

249
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: no costume. Are you gonna a dress up?

250
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: Probably not unless I was invited to a Halloween party,

251
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 3: which again, podcast, people invite me to a Halloween party,

252
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: and I will politely decline unless I actually do know

253
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 3: people at the party. I just don't like going to

254
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: a party and not knowing anybody there, right, And nobody

255
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 3: ever invites me to a Halloween party.

256
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: No one wants scary things in their lives. Yeah, I

257
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 2: wonder what's driving that. How long have you been in LA?

258
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: I think three four years now, Okay, I think you

259
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: have to be in La for about twenty five years

260
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: before you get invited to a party. I think that's

261
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: kind of the standard.

262
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 3: The only reason to put together a nice costume is

263
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: to show it off. Of course, why I'm dressing up

264
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: for my apartment alone. That's sad. I had to put

265
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: time and effort into thinking of a great costume just

266
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: for me.

267
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: Oh that brings I mean, that makes me very sad.

268
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: Just staring in the mirror, complimenting yourself.

269
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: Taking a selfie of my costume that nobody else saw

270
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: to put on Instagram like no, thank.

271
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 2: You, and then heading to a haunted house alo.

272
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, no no?

273
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: Does Uh can you remember the last time you were

274
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: really scared by something that you felt like genuine fear?

275
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: I mean I get nightmares a lot, Oh you do? Yeah?

276
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 3: So probably that.

277
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: Are they like someone's trying to kill me?

278
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 3: Uh? They are pretty vivid. A lot of the times

279
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 3: where I think it's real, I like have woken up

280
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 3: like crying or like screaming.

281
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: Before Oh my god.

282
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: A lot of times it is like someone's trying to

283
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 3: kill me, and I'm like running away, so I's trying

284
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 3: to shoot me. I had one recently where I think

285
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: it was like a travel experience gone bad where I

286
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: was like skydiving and then I was gonna die. Yeah,

287
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: just stuff like that.

288
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: A skydiving dream is an interesting one, like a falling

289
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: dream to have. Were you at home, like in bed,

290
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: or were you in a car sleeping?

291
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I was sleeping in my bed.

292
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: Well, but I said, I ask because I feel like

293
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: I only have falling dreams when I fall asleep in

294
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: the car. Oh I'm in motion.

295
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: No, No, these are happening in my bed.

296
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: Brain is really going to work?

297
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: Then?

298
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 3: Yeah?

299
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: Have you ever been skydiving?

300
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: No, I don't want to go skydiving.

301
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: What an interesting dream to have.

302
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: Then, I don't know if it was like I was

303
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: skydiving because I wanted to, or I just was forced this.

304
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: Guy thrown out of a plane.

305
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, Oh, you're in a plane and suddenly I'm

306
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: not in the plane. I guess I'm skydiving.

307
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: I guess I'm being murdered. I think that's the term

308
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: for that. I'm going to be murdered.

309
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: Uh.

310
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have a ton of nightmares. I dream

311
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: a little bit, I suppose, But yeah, I feel like

312
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: the last time I felt a genuine fear was probably

313
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: I was camping in the Utah Mountains and there were

314
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: reports of mountain lions they'd attacked people, and my friends

315
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: and I had all gone to bed for the night.

316
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: We were all getting ready to fall asleep, and something

317
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: started pushing up against the side of the tent. And

318
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: there's nothing you can do in that situation except for just,

319
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: I guess, wait for the thing to go away or

320
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: kill you. And so we eventually fell asleep, and I've

321
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: never felt like death as close as that. The next morning,

322
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: we wake up and we go out and we look

323
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: at the outside of the tent and there's a single

324
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: raccoon paw on the side of the tent. A raccoon

325
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: had just gone up and like lightly grazed the tent

326
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: and walked away. But the fear was unbelievable. Yeah, but

327
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: I yeah, I guess I don't get really scared otherwise

328
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: unless I'm home alone late at night and I've seen

329
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: something scary recently, like a scary movie or something.

330
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't watch scary movies never. Yeah, no,

331
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: try not to.

332
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: Saw a movie called Barbarian recently that was horrifying.

333
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: Oh I'm not watching that.

334
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: I mean, anyone out there that wants to see a

335
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: scary movie, Barbarian is the movie to see. It's an

336
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: Airbnb nightmare, truly horrified.

337
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: Oh no, yeah, I wish I didn't even know that

338
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: this movie existed.

339
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: Are you an Airbnb renter user?

340
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: I have rented Airbnbs before, but I do prefer a

341
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: hotel because you know what you're gonna get, and you know,

342
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: even if they're bad, you can still complain to the

343
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 3: front desk.

344
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: Right, and the sheets are gonna get changed. Yeah, and

345
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: you have that luxury of throwing the towel on the floor.

346
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you can leave the room like a mess.

347
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: I try not to leave it like crazy. I'm messy,

348
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: but you you don't have to put it back where

349
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: you found it. It's right.

350
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Something I've always found weird ever, like that's I

351
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: feel like an easy way to tell something about how

352
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: someone behaves in a hotel is when you go in

353
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: and if you sit down on the comforter and they

354
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: freak out, They're like, you don't know how filthy those are?

355
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: I'm like, so you've made one filthy before. That's that's

356
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: the only thing going through my mind's like, so you've

357
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: done something truly disgusting.

358
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was like I've never thought about that.

359
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: Like they're filthy as possible, Like it's probably clean enough. Yeah,

360
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: but yeah, I tried to leave a hotel room clean enough.

361
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: Well. I was on Twitter, which you know is a

362
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: mistake always why Yeah, but I was on Twitter and

363
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: there was like a why there was a thing where

364
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: people were saying that there were creepy airbnb hosts that

365
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 3: had like cameras like in the airbnb's and I was like,

366
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 3: that's horrifying. Of course.

367
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: I remember I when I was in I think ninth

368
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: or tenth grade, I went with my brother and my

369
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: dad to Alaska and we stayed in a obviously not

370
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 2: an airbnb, it wasn't around yet, but like in this

371
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: lady's B and B. It's hard to say B and

372
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: B at this point without putting air in front of it.

373
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 2: But we stayed at her lodge or whatever, and my

374
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: brother had to borrow her laptop at one point because

375
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: he was selling something on eBay. And this was long

376
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: before everyone had a laptop. Blah, blah blah. He started

377
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: looking at her search history. Oh no, and one of

378
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: the things she had searched was in shower. Shower had cameras.

379
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: And we also found out her screen name was Lusty

380
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: Lady Linda. Oh no, so there's there's a chance that

381
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: there's just footage out there of me as a tenth

382
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 2: grade or naked in a shower.

383
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 3: Oh that's not Hopefully she can't get her a personal life.

384
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was a scary experience, and I'm sure

385
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: that's happened before.

386
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: That's so creepy.

387
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 2: People are so scary. There are so many creeps. You've

388
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 2: got to be real careful, especially after you watch Barbarian.

389
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 2: You'll never Oh no, we've got to get back to

390
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: haunted hotels. I like a haunted hotel. There's something a

391
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 2: little more dignified about a scary hotel.

392
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's historic, you know, Oh there was a ghost

393
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 3: living here. It's fun.

394
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also throwing towels on the floor. It's like

395
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 2: relaxed at the very least. Oh, well, there's something else.

396
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I really could talk about haunted things all day,

397
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: but I want to talk about something else. What you

398
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 2: agreed to be on I said, no gifts in the

399
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: recent past, and I was really excited. I thought, we'll

400
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: have a nice time. I read so funny. She'll come,

401
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: she'll go, everything'll be fine. And so I woke up

402
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: this morning and went about my normal business, which was

403
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: mostly just sitting at the kitchen counter for three hours

404
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: before I realized I need to get ready. I got

405
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: ready on a lease, came over, set up for the podcast,

406
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: and one o'clock rolls around.

407
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 3: Here.

408
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 2: You come up the driveway holding a bag. I'm just

409
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: going to ask you right now. Is that a gift

410
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: for me?

411
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 3: I may have brought a gift for you. Okay, I

412
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 3: may have brought a gag gift for you?

413
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: Even interesting? Okay, Well it's in a little obviously reused bag.

414
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: Yes, that is called being eco friendly.

415
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: It's from a cannabis company. It's a nice little black bag,

416
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: almost a gift bag. Shall I open it here on

417
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: the podcast?

418
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a great idea.

419
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into it here. And that's very small,

420
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 2: that's reaching in reaching in this is actually there's nothing

421
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: of a gag about this. I've just pulled out a

422
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 2: four pack of flossters. Yes, why did you first. So

423
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: I'm just going to plant my flag. I love these.

424
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put them in my bag. This is so

425
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: such a.

426
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 3: Do you like flossters?

427
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: I love flows?

428
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: Okay, this is now we can be friends. I hate

429
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 3: when people don't flaws.

430
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: Everyone's telling you to floss offessionals are telling you to

431
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: flos Yeah, but.

432
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 3: Some people just don't flass And I'm like, you need

433
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 3: to fly.

434
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: How often are you flossing?

435
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 3: I flaws at least once a day, sometimes more?

436
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 2: Wow, sometimes more? And when you say more, is that

437
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: twice a day? Or is this becoming? Are you like

438
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 2: not like ten times?

439
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: No? No, no, no, Usually I floss? Why I always floss

440
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 3: before bed? Okay, right, you know you gotta get all

441
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 3: the end of the day. I ended the food got

442
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: end of the day. Gotta get all the food. No, no, no,

443
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: that's how you get cavities and other stuff. But sometimes

444
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 3: all floss, like after a meal.

445
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: After a meal, if you have had like an extra

446
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: like a meal with a lot of seeds, what other

447
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 2: things really get stuck if you eat like corn, my teeth,

448
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: oranges oranges?

449
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: Right?

450
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: Things nice and polpea? Yeah, those feel like floss activities.

451
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest, I floss every other day. I'm

452
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 2: trying to get into more of a habit of flossing

453
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: every day. And now I have these. But I recently

454
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 2: was I did a podcast on another podcast network and

455
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 2: I went into their bathroom and they had an amazing bathroom.

456
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: They had flosss available, they had it all. I grabbed

457
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: a whole handful and just threw them in my bag.

458
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: Fully stole them from this podcast network. And so but

459
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: now I've got this extra four and I will say

460
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: we won't name the network. I don't want to shame anyone.

461
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: But they were kind of in crappy packaging, so they're

462
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 2: probably already loose at the bottom of my bag. These

463
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 2: are in kind of a right where did you get these?

464
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: I honestly do not remember well because I use floss,

465
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 3: I don't really use flosters as much.

466
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: So I just so these were just about the house.

467
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 3: They were, They were around okay to be given to you.

468
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: They were just waiting there in your drawer of gifts.

469
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

470
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like floss. I mean I usually do also

471
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: use just a regular floss.

472
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but these are good like on the go because

473
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: I don't really like to carry floss with.

474
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: Me, right, and also like wrapping the floss around your

475
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: fingers and they're dirty and.

476
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: Then you got to wash your hands.

477
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: This is more like I can be in the dark

478
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: of the car, pull these out and I'm flossing immediately

479
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: and they reach to the back nicely. I mean, the

480
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: last two years of dental everything for me has been

481
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: pure hell. And I don't know hell happening. I know

482
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: my life is falling apart, absolutely falling apart. No, I've

483
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I've talked about this almost non stop on

484
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: this podcast, how I had a horrible dentist who has

485
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: created so many issues for me, And now I'm.

486
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: Do you have like a whack dentist as far.

487
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 2: As I'm concerned. I mean, the guy has, as far

488
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: as I can tell, created permanent damage in my teeth. No,

489
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: so now I'm waiting on doctor Rachel to fix it all.

490
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: But the appointments are bonkers. Yeah, dental appointments are It's

491
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: like they tell you there's something wrong, actively wrong in

492
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 2: your mouth, and they're like, can we see you in

493
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: five months?

494
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

495
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: What are we talking about? I don't understand. It doesn't

496
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 2: make any sense to me, But yeah, I'm now I'm

497
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: flossing even more seriously. I've got the electric toothbrush. Do

498
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 2: you do you use an electric toothbrush?

499
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 3: They don't. I tried for a bit, but I actually

500
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: have kind of like sensitive gums, and I think the

501
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 3: electric toothbrush kind of irritates it a little bit more

502
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: so I actually I just use a regular and an

503
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: extra soft yeah, extra soft bristles.

504
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: Right. Why do they sell a hard toothbrush?

505
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know who is using that.

506
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: It's every dentist will say, do not buy.

507
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're always like soft or like in my case, like.

508
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 2: Extra soft, right, like prescription soft. Basically the herd is

509
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: that for like to clean floors?

510
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't who's using the heart?

511
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 2: Even the medium?

512
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never used a medium.

513
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 2: They've got to just remove those from the market because occasionally,

514
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: when when I was acoustic toothbrush, I would mistakenly buy

515
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 2: like a hard one. I would blindly just grab something

516
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 2: off of the shelf, you know, just randomly grabbing and

517
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 2: go home. And now I've got a hard toothbrush and

518
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 2: you're not returning it. No, So now you're trapped with

519
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: this horrible toothbrush.

520
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: And it like makes you bleed.

521
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: Of course. I don't know that it cleans teeth. I

522
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: think that it just grinds your gums to pieces.

523
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe they sell them so then you screw up

524
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 3: your mouth and then that's how the dentists make money.

525
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: Look after my experience with the last dentist, I would

526
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: not put it past the Dental Society or is it

527
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: the Dental Association. I think it's association those people. There's

528
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: something going on.

529
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 3: I had a whack dentist for like a hot second,

530
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 3: and what happened. So I've never had a cavity in

531
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: my entire life.

532
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: Oh my, that's incredible, even as a kid.

533
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never had a single cavity. What Yeah, And do.

534
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: You like, do your parents have good dental hygiene as well?

535
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: Uh?

536
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think my mom had like a root canal

537
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: at some point or whatever. But I literally never had

538
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 3: like anything wrong with my teeth. Yeah. I was just

539
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 3: always really good about like brushing my teeth. And I

540
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: didn't eat a lot of like candy or soda when

541
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: I was a kid too, something that helped. But never

542
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 3: had anything wrong with my teeth. And I had bright

543
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: you know, I had braceste and then right after I

544
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: got off my parents' health insurance, I couldn't go the

545
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 3: dentist that I liked anymore, and I moved to California,

546
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,239
Speaker 3: so I had to find a new dentist. So then

547
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 3: I just had some I don't know, random dentists that

548
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 3: worked with my insurance. And then she told me, six

549
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 3: months after I got into my previous sentence and he

550
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: said there was nothing wrong, she told me I had

551
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 3: five cavities and gum disease. And I was like, there's

552
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: no way.

553
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: Make the lie believable.

554
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: I was like, in six months, you're telling me I

555
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: got five I mean, yeah, I drank a couple sodas. Like,

556
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 3: there's no way.

557
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: I think, even if you were not taking care of

558
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 2: yourself at all, getting five cavities and gum disease in

559
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: that period's impossible.

560
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 3: It's crazy. It doesn't make any sense.

561
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 2: And what was she like, we got to get these

562
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: things filled?

563
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 3: She was like, yeah, we could do it like now basically,

564
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 3: and I was like, absolutely not. And she was like

565
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: it's gonna cost three thousand dollars.

566
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: I was like no, but please, I'm about to go

567
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: out of business.

568
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 3: I was like, ah, I'll think about it. Never went back.

569
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: I went back to my old dentist. I begged him

570
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 3: just like just look, you know, just and then he

571
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 3: looked at He's like, you're fine.

572
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: Wow, have you like looked into her since.

573
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: I don't remember her name unfortunately, but I did look

574
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: into like that place and it does have bad reviews. Wow,

575
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 3: I fully scamming people?

576
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 2: That is what. How does something like that not caught

577
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 2: by the government.

578
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: Well, I think it was like I had like covered

579
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: California or whatever. But and I think they're just trying

580
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 3: to scam like low income.

581
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: Wow, that is horrible.

582
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 3: They just tell you there's things wrong with your teth

583
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 3: you got to fix it now, and you're like, okay,

584
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 3: I don't know any better, right, grief?

585
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: What part of LA is it in?

586
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 3: That was when I was in the Bay Oh okay, yeah.

587
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: Okay, So if you're in the Bay area, be very

588
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: careful about which dentists you're going to.

589
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, look online, I guess check the reviews, right, DM

590
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: me separately and be like is this am I? Okay,

591
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: I'm just.

592
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 2: Gonna be just inundated with dental requests. Yeah, that's really scary.

593
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: The other thing though, about like checking reviews of any

594
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 2: medical professional is also like most people. Most people who

595
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 2: have a good experience at one of these things usually

596
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 2: doesn't leave a review. It's usually the person who may

597
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: have been one in a thousand that had a bad experience.

598
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 2: So it's really impossible to tell who these are.

599
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 3: But when there's a lot of bad reviews that are

600
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 3: really bad, it's probably bad.

601
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: Wow, that's terrible. Five cavities and.

602
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 3: And gum disease.

603
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: Gum disease.

604
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 3: I was so scared because I've never, you know, had

605
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: a single cavity, right, I had a like an existential crisis.

606
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: Of course, who have I become?

607
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: I know.

608
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm the person with no cavities and

609
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 3: now I have five and gum disease. Like, I don't

610
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 3: know who I am.

611
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: Any identity has been shattered, truly. I really feel like,

612
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 2: and I don't want to rain on your parade. There's

613
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: gonna be a cavity in your future, and you've got

614
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: to brace yourself for that. Yeah, you've got to start

615
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: making a plan for how you're going to handle it emotionally.

616
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: I know it is painful to get it filled, not

617
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: the most painful thing in the world, but it's just

618
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: kind of a long, tortuous experience. Yeah, and then you

619
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: may end up with a dentist like me who somehow

620
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: makes it worse and then you live with it for years.

621
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: What if I just don't fill it?

622
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: It's an interesting question. What does happen when the cavity

623
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: is just left to be a hole in your tooth?

624
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: Does it rot out?

625
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: Probably? But I don't think I've ever had anything in

626
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 3: my tooth that was even close to being like rotting out,

627
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: so I've never thought about.

628
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: It, right, I feel like that probably takes a lot

629
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: for your mouth to be like considered rotting.

630
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I'd have to be in pain to be like, Okay,

631
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: I'll do some research on filling this cavity. Hmm.

632
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: And like I currently have a cavity, and this it's so.

633
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 2: It's also I feel a little ashamed of it because

634
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: for the longest time I didn't have cavities. I had

635
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: a few as a kid, and then never cavities. And

636
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: then I think the pandemic shifted something in the way

637
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: my brushing habits are something, and now I've got a cavity,

638
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: and doctor Rachel it gave me months before my big appointment,

639
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: So I guess it's fine to just live with it.

640
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: I mean, does it hurt.

641
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,719
Speaker 2: Not the cavity she identified, but the cavity that scumbag

642
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: drilled into last year is now hurting. I can't eat

643
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: a nut, I can't eat anything hard on that side

644
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: of my mouth.

645
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: That's horrible.

646
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: And now I'm like, do I call the dentists and

647
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: tell them? And then they said, up another appointment. It's

648
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: it really stresses me out. But I have these piloscers.

649
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: I mean, that won't fix your cavity, but.

650
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 2: It'll hopefully prevent future cavities and gum disease and gum disease.

651
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: What you're feeling on telling somebody that they have something

652
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: in their teeth?

653
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 3: Oh, I do it?

654
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 2: You do it? And how do you approach it?

655
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 3: I go, you have something in your teeth, or I'll

656
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 3: just point to it. I'm not subtle at all. I'm

657
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: just like, fix this.

658
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 2: I think that's good. I think every if everyone did that,

659
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: it would be fine, fine, and there would be like

660
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: because you always the person's face always kind of drops

661
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 2: and you can I feel like the blood runs from

662
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: their face and they're kind of a shame. That happens

663
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: to everyone.

664
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 3: Isn't it worse if you were just staring at it

665
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 3: the whole time and said nothing.

666
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: Of course, if I had dinner with a friend, wonderful time,

667
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 2: we're laughing, we're chatting, I go out in the car

668
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: and then look in the rear view mirror and there's

669
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: something in my teeth. That person has just betrayed me,

670
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: they like revel in me embarrassing myself.

671
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole time.

672
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: I would never trust that person again.

673
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: Of course.

674
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: So I guess it's just like a policy of honesty.

675
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: But it every time it happens, every time a friend

676
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: has something in their teeth, I'm so scared to let

677
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: them know.

678
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 3: Well, how do you say it?

679
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: Very meekly? You have something in your teeth? But I'm embarrassed.

680
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: I feel bad. I feel like, but I'm doing them

681
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 2: a favor. I'm not trying to hurt anyone.

682
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 3: Of course, unless you were like, ah ha, you got

683
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: food in your teeth, you know, like a bully.

684
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: This is also, now that we're chatting about this, I'm like,

685
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: what if I currently have something in my teeth and Ireen's.

686
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 3: Just that would be really funny. If I, oh, I

687
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 3: would totally tell you to get something in your teeth,

688
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: and then you finish the podcast, you look in the

689
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: mirror and you're like, oh my god, that's been there

690
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 3: the whole time.

691
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: I would burn you to the ground. I would absolutely torture.

692
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 3: I'd be like, yeah, that's why I got you these flossers.

693
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 3: It was passive aggressive. It was like, oh, it's supposed

694
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: to be a different gift. I saw what was happening

695
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 3: in your teeth. I was like, actually, we.

696
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: Ran back to the car. I've got something else. You

697
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: don't need this expensive watch. So before I opened this,

698
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: you did say it was kind of a gag gift.

699
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 2: What did you expect my reaction to be.

700
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: To laugh? I laughed?

701
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: I did laugh. Yeah, But did you think I'd be like,

702
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: I'm not flossing my teeth.

703
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 3: I didn't know what you would say, because I don't

704
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: know what your dental hygiene standards are, right, But it's

705
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 3: definitely not a gift that I would give normally.

706
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: Right, right, that would be an interesting gift, like a

707
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: wedding gift that unwrap in front of the parents and

708
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: it's just a bunch of flossers.

709
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: I bought you a thousand flossers.

710
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: Maybe that's a good gift. It's really unconvention.

711
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I would love if someone bought me years

712
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: worth of floss. I'd be like, hell, yeah, I don't.

713
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: Like to buy a sweepstakes in never ending Floss, I'd

714
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: go for it. Have you ever won a sweepstakes?

715
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 3: No? But I did win a radio contest one time

716
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 3: to meet Taylor Swift in high school.

717
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just going to be silent for a me.

718
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: I want to hear about everything about this.

719
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 3: Well, I'm a huge Swifty, huge Swift fan. And in

720
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 3: high school they were doing this like radio promotion thing

721
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 3: where you had to show up at this mall and

722
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 3: you write your name on like a little piece of

723
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: paper with their name, phone number, email, whatever. I brought

724
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 3: my whole family with me. We all put our names

725
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 3: in the like the bucket, and they drew names and

726
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 3: actually my grandma's name got drawn. But she doesn't care

727
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 3: about Taylor.

728
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 2: She was part of the scam run.

729
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so she was like, you go, here are the tickets.

730
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 3: You go?

731
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: So you got to go to the concert and meet her. Yes,

732
00:33:58,960 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 2: what was that experience?

733
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 3: Well, it was also crazy because I guess my grandma

734
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 3: didn't write her phone number clearly enough huh. So they

735
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 3: gave us the tickets in advance, and then they're supposed

736
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 3: to like contact you the day before for the meet

737
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 3: and greet, like there was a whole VIP experience. Wow,

738
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 3: And they didn't have our phone number, so like the

739
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 3: day before, I'm like, they never contacted me, so for

740
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 3: I had to like call like the people, like I

741
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 3: was doing like hours of research. I'm like, where's my

742
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 3: meet and greet experience? And it ended up I don't

743
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 3: even remember exactly what happened, but I went to the concert,

744
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 3: I like ran into other people like whatever. A long

745
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 3: story short, I did end up meeting her, but I

746
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 3: didn't get the whole VIP experience, but it still got

747
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: to meet her because I was like, here's the thing

748
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: where it says I want but they never contacted me.

749
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 2: Yeah that's so pretty good.

750
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah they felt bad, and I guess they emailed me

751
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 3: some free stuff after, but I'm like, that's not the same.

752
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 3: It's me walking around with Taylor Swift.

753
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 2: Friends by now. I know, think of the path your

754
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,240
Speaker 2: life could have taken. Yeah, Oh, what a shame your gramma.

755
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 2: I hope she learned her lesson.

756
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I should have double checked at work.

757
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: Everyone showed me your entries.

758
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 3: Make sure the seven looks like a seven.

759
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: Wow, that's incredible. I've never really wont a sweepstakes like that.

760
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 2: I need to enter more.

761
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was crazy.

762
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 2: I feel like at some point there was like an

763
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: Oprah episode about like these people enter sweep steaks all

764
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: the time and it's like what they did as a

765
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 2: job or something. Really and I might have been inventing that,

766
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 2: but that would be a good episode of Oprah.

767
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 3: Let's like, I've ruined my life but I won one

768
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 3: sweep steak.

769
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 2: I've never heard sweepstakes singular like that, and I love that.

770
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: Oh, I guess I don't know what this singular. I

771
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 3: just made it.

772
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: I think I think there should be a singular sweep steak. Yeah,

773
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: it's like a much smaller It's like when you enter what.

774
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 3: I want, it's a sweep steak, but yours.

775
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 2: I think qualifies as a sweep steaks.

776
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 3: Well, what I ended up getting was a sweep Yeah.

777
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, the ultimate prize, I mean at the end

778
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 2: for you was kind of half of the experience. So

779
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 2: did you when you met Taylor? Was it just like

780
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: high so nice to meet you.

781
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was like a line of people that were

782
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 3: meeting her. I remember she was very tall and she

783
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 3: was wearing like high heels too, so she was she's

784
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: super tall, and I was very emotional and I was like, Hi,

785
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: it's great to meet you. And I'm a huge fan

786
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 3: of Ellen too, and I knew she was like on

787
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 3: the Ellen Show and she liked Ellen. So I brought

788
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: her a gift.

789
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: Oh my god, flossters. Yeah from the audience, Taylor, you're

790
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: embarrassing her.

791
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you're saying white oars, I could see that

792
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 3: he's a Brocoli. So I brought you some fluss.

793
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: Now, what did you bring her?

794
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 3: No, I brought her a DVD of like Ellen's like

795
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 3: I think it was DV Delicious, Okay, it was just

796
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: like Ellen's greatest hits on the first few seasons of

797
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 3: her talk show or something. So I gave it to him.

798
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: She's like, oh, you know, she's very nice it. I'm

799
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 3: sure she threw it away.

800
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 2: Oh, I imagine she holds. It's probably in her purse

801
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 2: right now.

802
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I hope she didn't throw it away, because

803
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: in hindsight, I wish I had kept the DVD because

804
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 3: now I don't own it.

805
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,040

00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:40,719

00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 2: I think that this qualifies as like a second chance

838
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: for you to meet her. I feel like this is

839
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 2: a big We're writing a big entry form, dropping it

840
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 2: in that box at the mall, and hopefully Taylor finds

841
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 2: out and you get to meet her.

842
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: Oh, I would love if anybody knows her, some drop

843
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,560

844
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 2: She's got to hear you got ripped off.

845
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 3: I did get ripped off. I mean Grandma technically got

846
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 3: ripped off. Isn't that sad?

847
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: That is really a sad story. And Taylor didn't mean it.

848
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 3: No, I mean it's not her fault.

849
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 2: I mean it's kind of no one's fault. So I

850
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: mean it's a blameless situation that needs to be rectified. Yeah,

851
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: and you know, they're the Swifties. It's a whole army

852
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 2: of people working together. Maybe they could reach her and

853
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 2: let her know that you kind of only got half

854
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,520

855
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,120

867
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 2: any but what we're about to do could be a

868
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: lose situation. This is called the gift to a curse.

00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: Al wait, so I do tell you why?

874
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, So number one This is a suggestion from

875
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: someone named Eden. A listener named Eden has written in

876
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 2: gift or a curse erasable pens gift and why.

877
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 3: Who hasn't wanted to erase something that they've written in pen?

878
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 3: That's incredible.

879
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 2: Have you ever used one?

880
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, they're not great. They're not as nice as

881
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 3: writing with the real pen.

882
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 2: Sure, but I like them. Okay, gift, wrong curse. First

883
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 2: of all, they do not work as advertises.

884
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 3: They do not work, certainly, don't worry. They don't erase

885
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 3: that well, they don't write that.

886
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 2: Well, there's nothing good about I think it's cool. I

887
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: love the hope of the erasable pen, the dream of

888
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 2: the irasible pen, if that were. And look, I haven't

889
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: used one, probably since nineteen ninety five, but I remember

890
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 2: the last time I used one. It was like, I mean,

891
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 2: it's a bad situation for everybody. It's a ripoff. Yeah,

892
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 2: it's you write something down, try to erase it now

893
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 2: you just have a blur.

894
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 3: That's true.

895
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 2: And the writing the first place is a kind of

896
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 2: crappy looking there. What is that ink? Yeah, I don't know,

897
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 2: it's a different type of ink. What is ink? I mean,

898
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 2: that's a big, bigger question question I what are the

899
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 2: what are the ingredients of ink?

900
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 3: And then what are the ingredients of irasable?

901
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 2: I know what is happening? I actually there must be

902
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: like a how did what does that show? How does

903
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: this get made? Or whatever? Yeah, they must have one

904
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 2: on pen ink.

905
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 3: I mean if they don't, they should do one.

906
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 2: Right, I want to. I'm going to look into Okay, but.

907
00:41:55,360 --> 00:42:00,760

Speaker 2: I don't know this.

909
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:03,960

910
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 3: those invisible markers where you'd like write stuff and then

911
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,239

00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: Uh yeah. My friend Jake has always said, I'm not

939
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: The only occasion I would go to my high school

940
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 2: reunion is if I'm the most famous person on.

941
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 3: The planet, and why would you go?

942
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 2: But I think that's what he's saying. He just simply

943
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: will never go. Yeah, unless he's the most powerful human

944
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 2: being alive.

945
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would never go to my high school reunion.

946
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 3: And even if I was the most powerful person alive,

947
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 3: I'd be like, why might am I high school? Don't

948
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 3: have a union. Absolutely, I could be doing literally anything else.

949
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 2: I just found out my high school auditorium was the

950
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 2: venue for one of the largest funerals in Utah.

951
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 3: Oh, which is such a fascinating fact.

952
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 2: It was for a kind of an assassinated polygamous leader.

953
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 2: Can you imagine a weirder fact. I've been on that stage.

954
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 2: I've been in that auditorium to learn about like like

955
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: an anti drug campaign, and there was like a dead

956
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 2: polygamous stuff. There no interesting facts about high school, Okay,

957
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: but you said curse wrong gift. Wow, what an interesting

958
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,959
Speaker 2: thing to run into some I mean I really feel

959
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 2: like that levels the playing field. You're walking into Taco

960
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 2: Bell thinking that this is gonna be a private moment

961
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 2: between you and Taco Bell, and then there's somebody, maybe

962
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 2: an old friend, maybe an enemy, it doesn't matter. You're

963
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 2: now both at Taco Bell, and it like there's you're

964
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 2: there's nothing either of you can say that removes that element.

965
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 2: How funny to run into you at Taco Belle. You're

966
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 2: both I mean, you might be your very lowest, you

967
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 2: might be celebrating you can do you can do anything

968
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 2: at a Taco Bell, hit rock bottom, have the time

969
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 2: of your life, and so you run into this person

970
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 2: and something you have something to talk about. You're both

971
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure mildly embarrassed about this choice.

972
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 3: And what's embarrassing about taco Bell?

973
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 2: There's nothing embarrassing. I think it's just I think there's

974
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 2: like an entering a taco Bell. It's like you're making

975
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 2: a particular type of choice. You're like, today, I'm going

976
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 2: to go to Taco Bell, and there's nothing wrong with that.

977
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 2: But you are going to taco Bell. We all know

978
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 2: what that means. You're going to eat a taco Bell.

979
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 2: And so I don't know that it's it's me going

980
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 2: to Arby's. Proudly go to Arby's.

981
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 3: Nobody goes to Arby's.

982
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: Irene, look me in the eye. I go to Arby's.

983
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've You're the second person in my life that

984
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 3: has ever said that they go to Arby's.

985
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 2: Who's the other one, Taylor Swift? No, I wish she

986
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 2: whispered in your ear.

987
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 3: No, it was another comic I think that told me

988
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 3: that they liked Arby's. And I was like, that was

989
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 3: the first person, And I was like, you go to Arby's.

990
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 3: I've literally never heard of anybody going to Arby's voluntarily.

991
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 2: So now, but now you understand what I'm saying about

992
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 2: Taco Bell.

993
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 3: But everyone loves Taco Bell.

994
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 2: Well, I can say the same of Arby's.

995
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 3: It's not true.

996
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to say it right now. Everyone loves Arby's.

997
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 3: No one eats at Arby's. No one has an opinion

998
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 3: on Arby's because they've never gone.

999
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: I wonder if this you're from Chicago, right, Yeah, maybe

1000
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 2: Arby's is not a shoe.

1001
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 3: I feel like I don't think we had a lot

1002
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 3: of Arby's.

1003
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 2: Chicago feels like a proud beef town to me, and

1004
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 2: it feels like they probably have better beef sandwich options

1005
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 2: or something.

1006
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 3: I mean, Portillo's has great Italian beef.

1007
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so that just makes sense to me.

1008
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 3: But nobody's going to Arby's here, either.

1009
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 2: Bridge or wineger Is. There's a community here.

1010
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 3: You're literally You and my other friend and I can't

1011
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 3: remember who it was, are the only people I've ever

1012
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 3: heard of my entire life that have gone to Arby's.

1013
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 3: And yet I see a lot of Arby's commercials.

1014
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 2: There are so many Arby's commercials and ARBs.

1015
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 3: People that go to Arby's and I'm like, no, thank you,

1016
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 3: and you've never been I've never stepped foot in an army.

1017
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 2: Well, this explains why you don't go to Arby's. An Arby's,

1018
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 2: a roast beef sandwich is delicious, and if anyone wants

1019
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: to well, no, I'm not gonna you know, I'm not

1020
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 2: gonna get in a fight over this.

1021
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 3: I will accept a gift card to Arby's listeners.

1022
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 2: A little experiment.

1023
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 3: If you go there and you think it's good.

1024
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 2: Wow, never been to an Arby's. But yeah, I think

1025
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 2: if I were to run into somebody at Arby's, an

1026
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 2: old high school friend or nemesis or whatever, I'd be like,

1027
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 2: how interesting to see you here at Arby's. And then

1028
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 2: they could say the same to me, and it's like, what,

1029
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 2: you can't really tell what your life is outside of

1030
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 2: an Arby's or Taco Bell. You could be living it up.

1031
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 2: Things could be absolutely horrible. But in that kind of

1032
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 2: void of these mildly shameful fast food restaurants, there are

1033
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 2: no rules. There are no laws, it's no class system

1034
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 2: within them. Okay, so I think it levels the playing

1035
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 2: field in a nice way, and it's a gift okay.

1036
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 3: So all right, well I'm gonna get this last one.

1037
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: You've got zero so far. That's fine. Don't let that

1038
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 2: shake your confidence. Final one from a listener named Kevin

1039
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 2: Gift or a curse Mirrored ceilings and elevators.

1040
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 3: Mirrored ceilings in elevators.

1041
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you look up and the whole thing is mirrors.

1042
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 3: I would say, curse. Why They're just very confusing. I'm like,

1043
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 3: am I on the ground or am I on the ceiling?

1044
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 3: I don't like elevators in general, and I'm always afraid

1045
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to get trapped in one? And I have before?

1046
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 2: How many times?

1047
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 3: Two or three? What? Yeah?

1048
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 2: How long were you trapped in them?

1049
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 3: Not long, like less than an hour, but still too long?

1050
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 3: Were you alone one time? I can't remember if the

1051
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 3: first time I was a loaner out, but the second

1052
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 3: time I was alone, that is the whole power went off.

1053
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 3: I went out on my block, and it's woe. When

1054
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 3: I was in the elevator, and what do you do

1055
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 3: in that moment? Did they still have the little phone

1056
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 3: in there? I want to use that phone. Oh there's

1057
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 3: a button. So I pushed the button, okay, and then

1058
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 3: it called the dispatch and did they talk to you? Yeah,

1059
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 3: and they were like what happened. I'm like, I'm trapped

1060
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 3: in the elevator. They're like, oh, the power's out, and

1061
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 3: they're like, well, send someone. So it probably took like

1062
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 3: forty five minutes.

1063
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 2: Wow, that's terrifying.

1064
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and my phone was like dying too, so

1065
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, it's just me in this elevator.

1066
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 3: I was about to die. I'm gonna die here.

1067
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 2: He's so scared. I mean, I've heard the elevators are

1068
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 2: more dangerous than people know.

1069
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,479
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, okay, don't tell me that.

1070
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 2: Well, I'm telling a lot of people that now, and

1071
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 2: now I'm gonna I have a friend who will not

1072
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 2: get on elevators, and that's more of a thing she

1073
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 2: has to deal with.

1074
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 3: Well, what if she has to go up like twenty floors.

1075
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 2: She does it?

1076
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 3: What?

1077
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 2: Yes, some people are deathly afraid of elevators, and it's

1078
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 2: I can't blame them entirely. They don't They've probably heard

1079
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 2: some horrible story about someone getting crushed or trapped and

1080
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 2: suffocated or you know, so many things gonna happen in

1081
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 2: an elevator. But uh, yeah, I've heard they're more dangerous

1082
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 2: than one would expect. I've never been trapped on in

1083
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 2: one knock on wood. But the mirror issue. You're saying

1084
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 2: it's a curse, and.

1085
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not into it.

1086
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I am not trying to make you lose

1087
00:49:59,680 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: the skin.

1088
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 3: Wow, I lost this one again, you completely Wow.

1089
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 2: What's wrong with a nice, glamorous ceiling of mirrors. It's

1090
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 2: just it's mildly disorienting. You get to look up.

1091
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 3: Disoriented. I mean, it's disoriented.

1092
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 2: We should have known when we started talking about the

1093
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 2: tea cups that this was going to be a curse

1094
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 2: for you. But I think it's wonderful. You get to

1095
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 2: look up. It's an interesting experience. I feel like if

1096
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 2: the elevator does get stuck, you can stare up at

1097
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,280
Speaker 2: the mirror and contemplate your life.

1098
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 3: Oh and have a full existential crisis while book staring

1099
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 3: at myself in the trapped elevator. No, thank you.

1100
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 2: I love elevator ceilings in general. I think there were

1101
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 2: just an interesting thing I love, like in a movie

1102
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 2: when somebody, of course moves one of the things down

1103
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 2: sneaks through. I always wanted to try that, but I

1104
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 2: guess if it's mirrored that's probably more difficult.

1105
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if you'd be a more exciting.

1106
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 2: I feel like in a movie, you shoot it, the

1107
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 2: mirror rains down, it's so cinematic, and then you're crawling

1108
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 2: up the shaft. I welcome anything new in an elevator.

1109
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 2: I missed the little telephones. Might am I imagining that

1110
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 2: there used to be telephones in them?

1111
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 3: I think there were telephones in them.

1112
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 2: Okay. I feel like at some point there was like

1113
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 2: a little door you opened and there it was just

1114
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 2: like a phone you could.

1115
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 3: Chat Wise, because I was in a building recently and

1116
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 3: they had one of the whole time eat telephones.

1117
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 2: I would love to call somebody from that for just

1118
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 2: like to catch up. That would be so much fun,

1119
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:24,959
Speaker 2: be like, hey.

1120
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 3: Where are you calling from? Ooh, I'm in an elevator.

1121
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I I mean I hate to see this.

1122
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 2: The listener hates to see it. But at least you've

1123
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 2: stood by your choices. You didn't back down, you know what.

1124
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 3: It's okay.

1125
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 2: That's a little win for you just standing by your opinions,

1126
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 2: and I appreciate it. Okay, this is the final segment

1127
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 2: of the podcast. It's called I Said No emails people

1128
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 2: write into I said, no gifts at gmail dot com.

1129
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 2: They have problems. Everyone has a different problem. My listeners

1130
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:03,479
Speaker 2: have more than most. Uh, and so we try to help.

1131
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 2: And so let's answer a question. Will you help me

1132
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 2: answer a question? Okay, this is there's some sort of cricket.

1133
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 2: I wonder if anybody hears that. If you don't, that's

1134
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 2: think it's a bird. Oh is that a bird. That's

1135
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 2: a beautiful Yeah, that's definitely a bird. That's that bird

1136
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 2: is just non stop, good for it. It's just got

1137
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 2: a lungful of air and it's sue. Oh and now

1138
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 2: it's stopped. It got a little bit. Nope, it's bash wa.

1139
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 3: Oh that was the cricket thing you're talking about? Thought,

1140
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 3: I have a bird from over here. Okay, But a

1141
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 3: lot of sounds.

1142
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 2: There sounds a lot of sounds in the world. That's

1143
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 2: one thing about Earth. There are a lot of sounds here. Okay,

1144
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 2: deer bridger and informed guest. That's a nice thing to

1145
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 2: call you, an informed guest.

1146
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

1147
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,479
Speaker 2: This fall, I have four weddings to attend. Like many

1148
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 2: people in their early thirties, twenty twenty two has been

1149
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,280
Speaker 2: absolutely packed with weddings due to backlogs from the previous

1150
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 2: few years. Now, I don't have loads of friends. Okay,

1151
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 2: this person's kind of coloring himself as a loser, but

1152
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 2: that's okay. But four of my best ones all decided

1153
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 2: that this fall was the time for their weddings. And

1154
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: then in parentheses, it says, I am also in two

1155
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 2: of these wedding parties as a their honor and a groomsman.

1156
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 2: What's it their honor?

1157
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 3: I don't know, never heard. I know what a groomsman is.

1158
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never heard of this.

1159
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 3: Their honor is like, you weren't good enough to be

1160
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 3: a groomsman, but they still want to make you feel special.

1161
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 2: Oh right, right? The wedding tier of importance is will

1162
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 2: always be baffling to me. It just feels like a

1163
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 2: good area for hurt feelings.

1164
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure.

1165
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 2: Just causing drama on a lease.

1166
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I have a here saying a man of

1167
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 3: honor is a male who holds the role of mate

1168
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 3: of honor.

1169
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, we've never heard No one's ever heard of this.

1170
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 2: But this person's obviously a wedding pro. Okay, let's get

1171
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 2: back into it. So he's got four weddings this fall. Okay,

1172
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 2: the pre wedding events have taken my entire summer. The

1173
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 2: costs are absolutely stacking up. I have worked hard to

1174
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 2: manage my resentments and show up for all my friends

1175
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 2: as my which as possible, and so and so believe

1176
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 2: we are okay on that front. To make matters worse,

1177
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 2: I am also moving out of my home right after

1178
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 2: the weddings are complete. I don't know what that detail means.

1179
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 2: We can safely say I am broke. Oh, maybe that's

1180
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 2: why he's moving out of the home. Let's say I

1181
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 2: am broke, and I do not have any more time

1182
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 2: or money for these people. I don't believe I have

1183
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 2: time for crafting gifts or giving them experiences. I'm considering

1184
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 2: giving everybody an IOU card, but I feel like that's rude.

1185
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 2: What could I do about all these impending gifts? And

1186
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 2: then in parentheses, no, I don't have a plus one

1187
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 2: for any of these events, thanks Shane, So Shane, I

1188
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 2: feel like is being abused. Shane has been invited to

1189
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 2: all these weddings, doing all these jobs at the weddings,

1190
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 2: doesn't get a single plus one to any of them?

1191
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 3: Is it he doesn't have a plus one or he

1192
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 3: doesn't get a plus one. Oh.

1193
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 2: Interesting, So now it was Shane's fault.

1194
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 3: I was reading it as Shane doesn't have a.

1195
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 2: Plus Oh okay, and this goes to my way of

1196
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 2: thinking of being like, oh, if he's being abused and

1197
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 2: they're taking him for granted, so we'll just sure, I'm sure,

1198
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 2: and that's Shane's fault. It's entirely Shane's fault. Shane needs

1199
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 2: to take a letter writing course anyway, So Shane's considering

1200
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 2: giving an IOU card. What do you think about that?

1201
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 3: I say, just unfriend all of these people.

1202
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:24,760
Speaker 2: Pre wedding or after now, oh yeah, pre wedding, pre wedding.

1203
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 2: I just don't show up at the weddings. Yeah, just

1204
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 2: be like I'm sick, I'm overwhelmed. No, that's not a

1205
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 2: bad excuse. I think we're I still have COVID, right,

1206
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,760
Speaker 2: we've got I think COVID excuses are getting a little

1207
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 2: harder to bring up. Yeah, I used one recently with.

1208
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 3: I mean, it sounds like he is getting abused by

1209
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 3: his friends. So just like fake.

1210
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 2: COVID, he's been like driven out of his home by

1211
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:46,720
Speaker 2: these weddings.

1212
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 3: Apparently there are details that we are missing and I

1213
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 3: am curious because I'm like, wait, why are you moving

1214
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 3: out of the home right after the weddings? And then

1215
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 3: you don't want to go? But then is there a

1216
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 3: plus one? I'm very confused.

1217
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, Shane has given us a little bit of a

1218
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 2: mystery here. I mean, I will say the IO you card.

1219
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 2: Don't do that, No, I don't.

1220
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 3: If you're not going to give anything, just hope they

1221
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 3: don't notice.

1222
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 2: Right, you don't want to like put the spotlight on

1223
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,439
Speaker 2: the fact that you're not giving them anything. Yeah, that's

1224
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,280
Speaker 2: a bad idea. And then an io you card. Suddenly

1225
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 2: their imagination is running wild. They're like, what is Shane

1226
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 2: going to eventually give me?

1227
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and apparently it's going to be something small, right Yeah.

1228
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Just you kind of just want to like be

1229
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 2: lost in the shadows of the wedding.

1230
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, just you're there.

1231
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 2: Obviously, you're kind of the there, hon or, the groomsman,

1232
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 2: all of this. Hopefully that is enough to distract from

1233
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 2: the fact that you didn't bring a gift.

1234
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Also, if you're like the groomsmen and all the

1235
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 3: other stuff, like aren't you doing a lot for the wedding? Anyways?

1236
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 3: I feel like you don't really necessarily have to give

1237
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 3: a present.

1238
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 2: You're an unpaid employee.

1239
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think on those two weddings, I don't

1240
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 3: think you would have to really feel obligated and definitely

1241
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 3: don't say io.

1242
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 2: You no, you don't go to work and give your

1243
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 2: boss a paycheck. Yeah, so I feel like this person, Shane,

1244
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 2: You're absolutely fine not to give anyone a gift the

1245
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 2: other two.

1246
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 3: If you're gonna go, just blend in and move on

1247
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 3: someone else's gift, you know.

1248
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a that's not a bad idea. Just write

1249
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 2: a car that's actually now we're getting into something. You

1250
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 2: write a card with a very generic, vague message love Shane, Yeah,

1251
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 2: and then swap it with somebody else's card. Oh yeah,

1252
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 2: that must have been done before for sure.

1253
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 3: Or just like stick it by a present that you

1254
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 3: see if there's physical gifts and be like, I got

1255
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 3: you that.

1256
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 2: The biggest thing you can find in the pile of gifts. Yeah,

1257
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 2: and suddenly it's from you. Why haven't I thought of

1258
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 2: that before? That's a perfect solution. What's your feeling on

1259
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 2: destination weddings giving a gift in one of those?

1260
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 3: Oh, I haven't been to a ton of weddings. So

1261
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 3: I don't. I mean, I feel like society says you

1262
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 3: always have to give a gift at a wedding, right,

1263
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 3: But if I'm paying a bunch of money to come

1264
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 3: see you get married, I'm not. I don't want to

1265
00:57:59,400 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 3: give you a p.

1266
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 2: I completely agree. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that anyone

1267
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 2: would expect someone to bring a gift to a destination wedding. Yeah,

1268
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 2: dipping into their vacation fun for your little event. Yeah,

1269
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 2: and then you expect no, it's not you. I'm just

1270
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 2: going to tell everyone, if you invite me to your

1271
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 2: destination wedding, I will be empty handed.

1272
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1273
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 2: I may bring a card that I'll be throwing on

1274
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 2: another gift, as we've just discovered through talking to Shane,

1275
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 2: but I will not be spending any more money on you. Well,

1276
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 2: I feel like we answered that question pretty well.

1277
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I still advocate unfriend all your friends. Then

1278
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 3: you won't need to feel guilty at all.

1279
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 2: And you're giving them something to talk about at their weddings.

1280
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's grit. Wow, what a gift.

1281
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 2: Shane disappeared, Shane unfriended and blocked. What did I do?

1282
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 3: Maybe you can move back into your house?

1283
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 2: Oh, and then kind of get your life back on track,

1284
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 2: maybe get married yourself, and then invite them, and then

1285
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 2: they're going to come screaming back to you, wanting to

1286
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 2: win your friendship. Shane, the world is.

1287
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 3: You're always taking this podcast absolutely absolutely well.

1288
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm glad, Shane wrote in, because I feel like we've

1289
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 2: saved his fall. That could have been a disaster and

1290
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 2: could have ended up in a horrible wedding or Winter

1291
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 2: four weddings, horrible weddings, horrible winters. Nobody wants any of that, Shane,

1292
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 2: good luck. I'm sorry you wrote kind of a letter

1293
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 2: that confused us a little bit. Well, Irene, I have

1294
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 2: my flosters, Yes you do. They're a useful gift. I

1295
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 2: probably you know. Usually I try to do a video

1296
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 2: on Instagram, but I'm not going to floss my teeth

1297
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 2: on camera. I feel like that is going to get

1298
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 2: the Instagram account blocked or something. But these will go

1299
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 2: into my bag and are going to save me in

1300
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 2: a pinch. I think about that moment when suddenly I'm

1301
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 2: getting something out of my teeth in the car, I'm like,

1302
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 2: nobody can see me this way. I'm thinking about Irene,

1303
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 2: and it's what I want you want people to think

1304
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 2: about you in a moment of panic.

1305
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 3: Yes, I do. That's your.

1306
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 2: Well, I've had such a fantastic time with you.

1307
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 3: Thanks for being thanks for having me, had a great time.

1308
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 2: Listener, go get yourself some flossers. Also, if you're driving

1309
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 2: a truck with a bunch of crap in the back,

1310
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 2: maybe strap that down. I saw one of those earlier

1311
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 2: and they didn't have any of us strap down, and

1312
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 2: I was like, put a strap over that. That feels

1313
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 2: like something I would do. And because I'm too lazy,

1314
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 2: why am I bringing this up? But it is a

1315
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 2: good thing to keep in mind. You don't want to

1316
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 2: just drive around with a bunch of crap flying out

1317
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 2: of your truck. I'm glad that I brought that up.

1318
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 2: That's important. This is the end of the podcast and

1319
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 2: suddenly I'm just dumping advice on you, and I apologize.

1320
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 2: I have to let you go. I love you, goodbye,

1321
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 2: I said no Gifts is an exactly right production. It's

1322
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 2: produced by our dear friend Analise Nelson, and it's beautifully

1323
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 2: mixed by John Brandley and we couldn't do it without

1324
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 2: our guest booker, Patrick Kottmer. The theme song, of course,

1325
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 2: could only come from a miracle worker. Amy Man. You

1326
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 2: must follow the show on Instagram. At I said, no gifts.

1327
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear any excuses. That's where you

1328
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 2: get to see pictures of all these gorgeous gifts I'm getting.

1329
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 2: And don't you want to see pictures of the gifts?

1330
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: But I invit? Did you hear? Thought a man myself

1331
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you

1332
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests,

1333
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: you're our presences. Presence enough and I'm already too much stuff,

1334
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: So how do you dare to survey me
