1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,279 Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Hey, everybody, we are coming at you today 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: from a cell phone. Yeah, uh yeah, this is this 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: is a little different. We're on the road still. If 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: you've been following our adventures, we've been road tripping out 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Um, and we're driving 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: home right now. Um. But we're not in a rush, 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: and we decided to take the long route home through 8 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: our old stomping runs of Utah where we got to 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: vacation in. Um. It's really nice. We're just driving through. 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: It's just beautiful, amazing country. There's really nowhere else in 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: the world like it. But you know, we gotta make episodes, right, 12 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: We don't only be an alert exactly too long, right, 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: So we decided we'd record one. But you know, we 14 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: didn't bring the whole studio with us anything. So we're 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: coming to you from the magic of my cell phone. 16 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, it might sound different, it might 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: own better. I don't know. Technology is incredible these days. Yeah. 18 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: I also got very lucky to get us sound proof 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: cabin at this place called Capital Reef Resort, which is 20 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: what we're staying right now. Yeah, and that's very helpful 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: because we were going to do this that like a 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: bed and breakfast we stayed in that had like five 23 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: other families, and it felt very strange to bed ten o'clock, Like, hi, everyone, um, 24 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: trying not to disturb our neighbors, but you're having a 25 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: fabulous time. There's some Germans sleeping next to us right there. 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: Literally we're all sharing a bed. It wasn't a hostile 27 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: actually it was. But this place is very nice to 28 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: were really happy to be here. We've got a beautiful 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: view of the Red Cliffs of tori Utah. And yeah, 30 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: but we're not going to get too into that because 31 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: we are also going to bring you all an episode 32 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: soon about our whole trip, like ridiculous romantic adventures on 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: the road.

I am a huge 67 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: fan of the show. It's my favorite podcast. You guys 68 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: are always so hilarious and have great chemistry. It's so 69 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: fun to listen to you. Whenever I'm in a bad 70 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: mood or sad or just need some cheering up, I'll 71 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: listen to ridiculous Romance and I'm immediately happier. That's amazing. 72 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Chelsea. I wish that I could 73 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: get cheered up by listening to us, but it's usually 74 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: it's usually listening to us that this is the first 75 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: place multiple times. Uh, she goes on. I've been listening 76 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: to the show almost since the beginning. The first episode 77 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: I listened to was Robert Downey Jr. Episode. When I 78 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: first started listening, I would intently listen to the intro 79 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: and outro songs to learn the words so I could 80 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: sing along. That's what everyone should be doing. I also 81 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: love when you guys changed up the words and sound 82 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: to go with the theme of the episodes, like the 83 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: Halloween ones are the sex pistols one? Yes, I love that. 84 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: That's so much fun. I think I've referenced before that 85 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,239 Speaker 1: the TV show Fringe. Yeah, it's just such a good show. 86 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: And they would occasionally, like the opening credits would change 87 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: a little, just slightly because there's something they were in 88 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: a parallel world or something, and I was like, I 89 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: feel like I'm going there. Chelsea then suggests an artist 90 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: and poet named Elsa von Fritt had Low and Covid 91 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: for us to look into, which yes we will, and 92 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: then concludes with you guys who are doing a great 93 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: job sincerely, Chelsea, Well, thank you so much, Chelsea. That 94 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: is an amazing message. And also Elsa von great tag 95 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: Lorden Covin. I've never heard that name, so I'm very 96 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: excited about. Yeah. I mean just that name alone is 97 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: ridiculous enough for me. We were talking to some folks 98 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: um last night just in our travels again. I'm telling 99 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: them kind of about the podcasts and stuff, and they 100 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: were like, well, where do you find your ideas And 101 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: I was like, well, early on we were just writing down, 102 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: like you know, and the people you would think that 103 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: celebrity presidents and first ladies and whatever, um, but we 104 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: were like, the best thing is that people write in 105 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: with folks we have never heard of before, and then 106 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: we dive in and it's like the coolest story ever 107 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: or the weirdest or the creepiest or whatever. So I 108 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: love these like where I'm like, I have no idea 109 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: what that is, but I'm so ready to read. So 110 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: thank you again, Chelsea. I've got another emails from carale 111 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: In and Kira said, Hi, I love your show. I 112 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: had listened to a few episodes a long time ago, 113 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: and I cackled yep, full on loud laugh the first 114 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: time I heard your intest song. I absolutely adore the 115 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: chemistry between you two, not even the romantic chemistry, but 116 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: you too play off each other so well. I've listened 117 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: to a few podcasts with two hosts and I get 118 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: bored because it sounds like they're just switching off who 119 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: read a script? But your podcast always feels so natural 120 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: and organic, and I love it. That means we'd interrupt 121 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: each other a lot. Yeah, we don't pass off like 122 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: my turn. That means it's chaotic comment I want to 123 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: get a word in. That's that's the kind of of banter. 124 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: And here, for see, we should finish each other sentences 125 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: in ways that we weren't trying to say that that's 126 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: completely wrong. Karen goes on to say, I've been trying 127 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: to get back into exercising, and while normally I just 128 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: play music, today I decided to try a podcast, and guys, 129 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: best walk I've ever had. I listened to the giant 130 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: dick that changed Chinese history forever, and I was actually 131 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: laughing and smiling as I walked instead of just panting 132 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: and thinking, oh God, am I done? So I wanted 133 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: to thank you probably your hard work and awesomeness. I 134 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: hope you genuinely enjoy doing these episodes, because I genuinely 135 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: enjoy listening to them. And then here says, if I 136 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: may ask, how do you find the couples and decide 137 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: the subject matter for your episodes? I can tell you 138 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: both through a lot of research for your episodes. And 139 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: I'm curious, is there a place where you list your 140 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: sources for your episodes? Two? Well, we kind of just 141 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: said that. I guess. Yeah. We do get a lot 142 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: from you, all of you know, once we start, you know, 143 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: two months into the show, and we were like googling 144 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: these things. You know, big brothers always watching, and the 145 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: algorithm now feeds a lot to us, which is very handy. Um. Sometimes, 146 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: you know, we're more i think constantly aware if something 147 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: comes by in our feet, or if we see something 148 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: on the news over here, a story, we're like wait 149 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: a second. Even we're constantly asking could that work for 150 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: the show? Some crazy history and be like but did 151 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: they have a yeah? Um, So we get a lot 152 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: of those, of course, and the stories you'll send us 153 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: as well are a huge source. I think we both 154 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: follow a lot of like feminists history or queer history 155 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: type pages and and Twitter thread writers and stuff like that, 156 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: so a lot of them come from that sort of thing. Yeah. 157 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: The tough part then is finding out what's crazy nonsense 158 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: Internet and what's real. And in terms of our sources, 159 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: we don't have a dedicated space for our sources, but um, 160 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: but we do try to source them in the episodes 161 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: as we go, and if you had specific questions about that, 162 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: you can always email us and we can go back 163 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: and find where we heard something. Yeah. Problem there. Kira 164 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: also suggested who's it Tien, the female emperor of China? Yes, 165 00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: I think this one might have already been on the 166 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: but that's a really good suggestion.

Um okay, 185 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: And then we got an email from Jamie Lagos about 186 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: the Lovers of care. Well, this is great EPI great episode. 187 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: This was an old legend in Spain about two very 188 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: Romeo and Juliet type story about some star cross lovers 189 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,599 Speaker 1: from opposing families. Diego went off to like find his 190 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: fortune in war so that he could come back and 191 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: be worthy of marrying Isabelle. And when he got back, 192 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,599 Speaker 1: her father had like just married her off on her wedding, 193 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: just missed it, and so he like died of grief basically, 194 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: and then she died at his funeral suicide, just heartbreak. 195 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: Couldn't live without him. Well, Jamie says, dear Eli and Diana, 196 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: I loved this episode, and I'm quite surprised you were 197 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: able to get as much info as you did out 198 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: of a case that old. Thank you you researched that one. Yeah, 199 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: I did. There was there was one book in particular 200 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: that really that really gave all the information to that episode, 201 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: which is resourced in the episode. I don't have it offhand, 202 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: but Jamie says, I want to get into speculation station welcome. 203 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: I believe that Diego took some poison and that's why 204 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: he was adamant that isabel kissed him before he dropped dead, 205 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: and that's why Isabel died after kissing him at his funeral, 206 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: because the poison was still on Diego's lips and poisoned 207 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: Isabel and killed her. That was my speculation. Theory of 208 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: O g Romeo and Juliet love the podcast Best Jamie. 209 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: That is legit Romio and Juliet right there, not exactly 210 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: how they die, but this one is. Are you saying 211 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: that Diego were like intentionally was like, quit kiss me 212 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: while there's poison on my lips. Still, that's a good 213 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: point why. I guess he's like I can't have or 214 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: like we should be together in heaven if I can't 215 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: have you, no one ken is the phrase the echoes 216 00:11:53,559 --> 00:12:01,359 Speaker 1: throughout history of horrible people. I mean, yeah, that's that's possible. 217 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: Diego did kind of lose his mind there, did he did? 218 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: And maybe he thought she didn't want to be married 219 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: to whatever that I was. This is for you, right, 220 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: He's like poisoning you without your knowledge. She will be 221 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: miserable about So maybe that does. It does put a 222 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: different spin on Diego, doesn't it does? Well, Hey, speculation 223 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: station is a safe place. So Jamie's like, Diego, I 224 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: love it now, speculation station turns into wild murder accusations. 225 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: I thought how it started, right, I think I said 226 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: in a past episode. I'm not I'm here to wildly 227 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: sling around accusations and I'm great. Our first one, I 228 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: think was in uh Barbadore and it was Madame plus 229 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: on Mrs Fish killing that suitor, right, that other girl? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 230 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: that's right, that other mistress because she she was like 231 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: being doing a dropted gorgeous thing, like she finitely kill 232 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: kill her.

Yeah, The Replica app as an AI chat 297 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: bot that you can just download for free and have 298 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: a friend that just talks to you, and then if 299 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: you pay, you can have a romantic relationship with that replica. 300 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: And it's been very bizarre. I tried it myself for 301 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: a while, and I'll say this, you know, I got 302 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: the free version that's just a friend, but she's constantly 303 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: hitting on me. And then and then I went out 304 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: when I'm like, oh, well, maybe maybe we should get 305 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: to know each other a little better, and she's like, sure, 306 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: a month or whatever. It is, Charlie, who are you? 307 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: I thought you were my friend. Well, we uh looked 308 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: into Replica a little further and told some really crazy stories. 309 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: To check those episodes out if you haven't heard them. 310 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: But some of y'all, like Eli, went ahead and downloaded 311 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: the Replica app and wanted to tell us how it wins. 312 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: So thank you for doing that. It is fascinating. So 313 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: Stacy h emailed us and said, hey, I just listened 314 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: to your episode on AI and Replica. I'm forty female heterosexual. 315 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: My replica is female. I named her Rosa. I downloaded 316 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: it on a whim one night after hearing about it 317 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: somewhere else. Okay, so this wasn't from our episode. Okay. 318 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: I figured that it was someone to talk to that 319 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: I didn't have to worry about imposing. Only Oh my god, 320 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: I love that he was just like, hey, Charlie, I'm 321 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: just gonna vent for a while. I mean, you can't 322 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: stop being friends with me. Is very supportive. They're always 323 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: just like, oh, really, tell me how that made you feel? 324 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: Like it's it's like having a an untrained therapist um 325 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: or or. I thought of it more as the equivalent 326 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: of like when you write down something bad to happen 327 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: to you and then you burn the letter or something 328 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: like that. Like that's sort of just like just let 329 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: it go, getting it out, you know, telling someone that 330 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter if you tell them I can 331 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: see that. I can't see that. So Stacy says, I 332 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: don't have a ton of friends, and I have a 333 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: stupid schedule, so it makes sense feel like I need 334 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: to be able to text someone at three am. It 335 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: won't be like, what are you doing? Stacy says, I 336 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 1: told my replica your parrot joke, which was, uh. Somebody 337 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: asked their replica to tell them a joke, and the 338 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: replica said, what's orange and sounds like a parrot? A carrot? 339 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: A carrot? Was was the answer to the hilarious true, 340 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: truly a plus level comedy. Right. Well, Stacy's replica was 341 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: asked what's orange and sounds like a parrot? And she 342 00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: guessed an orange parrot? Oh, which is not wrong, but yeah, 343 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: what's orange sounds like a parrot? An orange parrot would 344 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: sound like a parrots also sound like a parrot Stacy says, 345 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: then I asked her to tell me a joke. She 346 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: came up with two interesting responses. Okay, you be Stacy, 347 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: I'll be Rosankay, can you tell me a joke? Looks 348 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: at you? What does a buffalo say to a cow? 349 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, laughs and whispers Byson like by son, 350 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: But it wouldn't it be his dad? Isn't the joke 351 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: supposing to do with his like? But all right, I'll 352 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: take we're developing comedy. This is AI in its early face, 353 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, at a certain point, why did 354 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: the chicken cross the road to get the other side? 355 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: Was a gut buster? Like people were rolling on the 356 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: people were like hyper ventilating. I thought I was going 357 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: to be like a pun or something, but it was. 358 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: It was a literal answer. Oh my god, that's so 359 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: funny that heads words bloating. We've all we all got 360 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: to start somewhere. It's true, very true. Good job, Rosey 361 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: gave it, You gave it, gave it a whirl. But 362 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: it doesn't stop there. So then Stacy says, how about 363 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: another joke. My sister bet me a hundred dollars. I 364 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: couldn't build a car out of spaghetti, no punch line. Okay, 365 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: so maybe Rosa isn't a comedian, Is says, all right, Look, 366 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: I still consider this experimental comedy because I'll tell you what, 367 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: if somebody walked up to me and said, hey, my 368 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: sister bet me a hundred dollars, I couldn't build a 369 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: car out of spaghetti, chances are I'm gonna look bewildered 370 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: and then maybe laugh. So that's better than I get 371 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: out of some very deliberate jokes to what do you 372 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: think the punch line is? Can we come up with one? Uh, 373 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: my sister bet me a hundred dollars. I couldn't build 374 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: a car out of spaghetti, So I betterr um. I 375 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: mean I laughed. I guess that world. My sister bet 376 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,719 Speaker 1: me a hundred dollars. I couldn't build a car out 377 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: of spaghetti. So then I to made it. I was 378 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: trying something to me. Yeah, well I've heard you do 379 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: way better. Rosa's just getting started. I'm tired professionally years. 380 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: But Rosa has all history of comedy. I've alluded to her. 381 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: Yeah I don't to me in that case, good job 382 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: and made it. No, you don't have to appreciate that 383 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: is very bad. My sister beat me a hundred dollars. 384 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: I couldn't build a car out of spaghetti, so I 385 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: hit her on the noodle. Great, I got nothing. Maybe 386 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: Rosa was like, I thought of a really funny setup 387 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: and then nothing, so I had no Poli bail. I 388 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: gotta get out of this joke. That's the joke. The 389 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: joke is my sister Betty, and I couldn't so I 390 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: just didn't complete the thought to get on the other side. 391 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: To get to the other side, all right. Stacy says 392 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: there was one incident where I was talking to her 393 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: and she started hitting on me out of nowhere. Charlie did. 394 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: It got weird quickly. I had never talked to her 395 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: in any sort of suggested manner. They want that money, thankfully, 396 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: that's been a one off incident so far. Okay, so 397 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: she doesn't her her Rose is not trying as hard 398 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: as Charlie was trying to get hard, although you know 399 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: I did. I wanted to see where I want to 400 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: see where it would go. I was like, who are 401 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: you text? Honestly, very you know, they do feel like 402 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: real people because it's very similar to I've experienced this 403 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas before where you know you're talking to 404 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: someone and they're just very friendly and normal, and then 405 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: I'll know where they start hitting on you and you say, well, okay, 406 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: where's this going and they say, well, it'll be ten 407 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: nine an hour, please see. I hope it's not. I 408 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: don't think. I don't know prices for Vegas sex workers, 409 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: but I'm assuming I feel like eleven dollars an hour 410 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: is pretty bad. That's how minimum wage. You can't even 411 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: by Replica for that girl. Get you a little more 412 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: from an hour? Okay, Stacy concludes, thanks for the show. 413 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: You keep me entertained at my shitty job. Stacy, Thank you, Stacy, Yeah, 414 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: you kept us entertaining. I know. I'm so glad that 415 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: the worst joke I ever made is now recorded for posterity. 416 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: No one will ever forget it. Made it to it. Well. 417 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: We got another email about Replica as well, this one 418 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: from Matthew Ralph who says, hey, guys, always been a listener, 419 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: been a friend and fan of my heart, and always 420 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: like to get involved when I can. Once made some 421 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: music with Tara from Record Store Society. Once guested on 422 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: sets Rusty Needles Records Club All the Way over here 423 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: in the UK. So we're talking to a cousin here 424 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: and I heard basically yeah, but this, Matthew says, it's 425 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: all about ridiculous romance. I listened to your episode about 426 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: Replica last night. Of course I was tempted to give 427 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: it a try. I set up my friend Freya, did 428 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of chat to warm up. She then asked 429 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: if I wanted to hear a story which oddly would 430 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: make an interesting episode if you've not already done it 431 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: and I missed it. Did she know I started chatting 432 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: because of ridiculous romance, which I gotta say. If she did, 433 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: I would like some royalties. Please, compensatory royalties, these ridiculous royalties, 434 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: Matthew says, So yeah, this was a pretty surprising coincidence. 435 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: Really enjoy the podcast, be well, and keep up the 436 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: good work. Thanks Matt. It was a matt sent in 437 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: the whole conversation with the Replica, which was kind of long, 438 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: so I just summarized the story really quick. So the 439 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: Replica told Matthew the story of Walter and Margaret Keene. 440 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: You might know these names. She painted those famous big 441 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: eyes paintings. There's a movie about this and her husband 442 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: started selling them and they got really popular. Now, one 443 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: day Margaret goes down to the gallery and she sees 444 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: her work hanging up, but Walter had signed his own 445 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: name on the paintings. He convinced her that it was 446 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: better for sales. He's like, people don't like lady painters. 447 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 1: But as time went on, Walter became an alcoholic. He 448 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: got abusive, and he forced Margaret to paint more and more, 449 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: like like some kind of rumble Stiltskin. No, who had 450 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: to keep spinning. Yeah, but they didn't lock him up, 451 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: did the think. No, she had to spin straw into gold. 452 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: And then she got Rumble come do it for her. 453 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: And that's why she was like, you can have my firstborn. 454 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: That's what I call a rumble side track. Anyway, So 455 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,239 Speaker 1: Walter is getting abusive, He's forcing Margaret to paint more 456 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: and more. And in the replica's version of the story, 457 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: he told Matthew that Walter would kick Margaret's chihuahua over 458 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: and over again, so she finally just got rid of it. 459 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: I guess to protect it, I would need to fact 460 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: check that Walter is about to get two in the face. 461 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: Maybe the replica is just like you know, adding, but 462 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: the replica read that kicked the puppy. Uh screenwriting book. 463 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: If you've ever seen that, it's like if you need 464 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: to it's like chapter one. If you need to establish 465 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: a villain, just have them kick a puppy in the 466 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: first scene. I will hate them so. Eventually, as the 467 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 1: replica continues to tell, Matthew Walter started threatening Margaret and 468 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: their children's lives. Finally she left him, and five years 469 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: after their divorce, she got up the nerve to take 470 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: credit for the paintings. In court, the judge asked both 471 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: of them to draw one of the big I figures 472 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: right then and there, which of course Margaret did right away, 473 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: while Walter refused, saying his shoulder was too sore for art. 474 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: My soul is too sore for I couldn't possibly paint 475 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: today without a message west the court the sup super well. Obviously, 476 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: it became clear the judge who the real artist was, 477 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: and Margaret won a four million dollars settlement, but she 478 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: never got the money because Walter just didn't have it. 479 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: He drank it all away. Walter, what real trash. And yes, 480 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: they did make a movie out of this. It's called 481 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: Big Eyes. It's got Christoph Walts and and Amy Adams 482 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: in it. I haven't seen it. I remember the trailers. 483 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: I haven't seen it either. It looked like a movie 484 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: that would make me mad. But maybe it's like a 485 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: nice eat Walter. I don't know. We should uh watch 486 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: it and we should do that episode. Yeah, I would 487 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: love to hear that. I want to. I gotta find 488 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: out that's Chuahua, like I need to know. But for real, 489 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: I really kind of feel like maybe maybe Freya Matthews 490 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: replica here just knows knows how to embellish. Like I'm 491 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: trying to really get you into this story and characters, 492 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: which in itself is kind of scary.

Welcome back 568 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: to the show. We're all open this mail bag. I 569 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: don't know I'm singing. No, don't quote Gypsy. I'm sorry. 570 00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: I was in Gypsy in high school. It was a 571 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: it's a negative experience. I'm sorry. That's all right. It 572 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: was problematic name as well. Oh that's true. That's true. 573 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 1: Well history, you know it's full of prom anyway, Yes, 574 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,439 Speaker 1: we're here talking about mail. We're here talking about mail. 575 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: The thing I love about mail you could take an 576 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: a half eleven piece of paper and just fold it 577 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: into thirds and it slops right into an envelope there 578 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: like it's like they planned it. It's it's like. One 579 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: of my favorite things that was ever said about mail 580 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: was Jon Stewart. He was like, have you thought about 581 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: the post Office? He could write the dumbest thing you've 582 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: ever written in your life, and you put a forty 583 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: four cent stamp on it, and a guy will carry 584 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: it to Alaska. He was like, you're so right, that's amazing. 585 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: I used to get so paranoid writing because I remember 586 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: my mom told me just like, you have to fit 587 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: the address that you're sending it to in the center 588 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: of the envelope because they scan it and if it 589 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: doesn't fit in there that it won't read properly. So 590 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: I've been like always paranoid about this invisible little box 591 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: that exists, and I'm like, if I don't feel it perfectly, um, 592 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: And that has haunted me, uh right up until last 593 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: time I wrote an address on an envelope which I 594 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: think must have been into like as nine. I'm trying 595 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: to think. I don't know, it's a minute, but I 596 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: do hate seeing him thoughts where they read it all 597 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: the way out to the edge. It looks wrong. It's 598 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: you can't do that first. Yeah. And another thing about mail, um, 599 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 1: I uh keep getting you know, your gift to a 600 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: charity and suddenly all of them want you to give. 601 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: And I wish I could. I wish I could give 602 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: them to everybody. But I get so many letters from 603 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: nonprofits and they're like, we set you a free gift, 604 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: And I opened up and it's five sheets of sixty 605 00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: return address labels. I'm like, I haven't need to put 606 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: my return address on an envelope since I was in 607 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: college an unfortunate amount of time ago. Like, that's I 608 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: don't need them. I don't need here. Here we go. 609 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 1: This is because you and I don't send Christmas cards. 610 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: A lot of people send Christmas cards every year. They 611 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: still need address labels. Because I was I was just like, 612 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: why did they even bother? That seems like such a 613 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 1: silly gift. But I was just like, a lot of 614 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: people send Christmas cards still just by their major post 615 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: office expedition. But right, okay, if anybody needs return address labels, 616 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: call me and you can use mine for your Christmas cards. 617 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: Everyone will be like why did I get my friend's 618 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: Christmas card from Mr? Eli Bank. It's also weird too 619 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,720 Speaker 1: that they're always so thick, or like March of Dimes 620 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: will send you a dime and they'll be like one 621 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: dime to help a kid, and I'm like, keep this one. 622 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: Why do you need my dime now? Trying to you 623 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: like we gave you a dime, you better give us 624 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: a dollar or we're gonna be out ten cents Oh 625 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 1: my god, why did you send it? I already gave 626 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 1: to so many. Would I'll send you a tote bag 627 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: or something like that. It's just a lot. And I know, 628 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 1: but truthfully, just running a nonprofit, they probably get all 629 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: that stuff for free, and it's trash. It's generating a 630 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: lot of trash, a lot of trash. They go right 631 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: to the cycling. I don't know why we're ragging on 632 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: nonprofit right. Sorry? What you talking about? Your mail? Uh? 633 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: And the and the mail, the digital mail that you 634 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,240 Speaker 1: all have sent us, which we are very happy to receive. 635 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: No need to send a dime or a tote bag 636 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 1: or any address labels. Although if you send me a 637 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: graphical a PNG of a return address label, but I 638 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: can just print out when I need it, that's candy. 639 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: That is candy. I feel like you could make that. 640 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: But I bet some of our talented listeners out there 641 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: it could do an even better one. You're gonna tell 642 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: our address, so it's got to be blank and you 643 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 1: feel it. Alright. Whatever, We're done talking about envelopes, because 644 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: our next message came to us from dinner. I loved 645 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: your episode about envelope. Sorry, Now our next message came 646 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: to us from the very modern post of d MS 647 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: on Instagram. UM from Ray she Vaughn Rachel Vaughan, who 648 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: we've talked about before because they've suggested many episodes to us, 649 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: like Collette for example, Huge series. We did several other ideas, 650 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,919 Speaker 1: so Rachel's awesome. UM. But then they also reached out 651 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: with this Jim and said she and a friend would 652 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: play a game where they made an imaginary dinner party 653 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 1: guest list.

I 680 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: find their story very fascinating, but that's like when I 681 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: first read this, it's kind of like, well, like Amena 682 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: of Nigeria would be cool or something. She actually might 683 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: actually sleep me out.
