This is actually the 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.160 second time we've started the episode due to whatever the 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.880 circumstances in the world are. But you know, like I 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.800 said in the first recording, we're taking a shower with nature. 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:12.440 It's erotic, it's you know, it's borderline pornographic, and we're 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.160 having the time of our lives. Let's get into the podcast. 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.679 I love today's guest. It's Eric Edelstein. Eric, welcome back. 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.840 I'm sick. I love this rain. I grew up in 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.680 the Northwest, and it's like Stockholm syndrome. I thing where 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:26.880 it just feels like home to me. 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:28.440 You seem very at ease. 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:33.080 Yeah, it's great, right, and I couldn't be calmer at 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:33.479 this point. 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.440 Oh come on, Although the tornado warning, yeah you told 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:40.039 me that frightened me slightly. I have no preparedness for 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:40.800 that at all. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.800 While Analis was fixing things, you told me that there's 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:44.800 been a tornado warning. 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:46.080 It's a slight tornado warning. 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.800 Yeah, tornado is not going to happen. The drama that 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.560 goes on in the LA news from the world. 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.480 Yeah, the hurricane that we had. My moom was so scared. 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.800 She was terrified. She thinks it's like Key West. We're 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.080 having to board things. I'm like, it's about three inches 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.559 of rain. Mom, We're fine. The dogs are still going 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.160 out in it. Like, quit scaring my mother. People in 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:06.560 the news. 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.280 The texts I get from my parents, and they don't 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.200 help me. They just add to my anxiety. Like just 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.240 wait until you're like you hear that I've been swept away, 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:15.200 then you can start text. 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:15.920 Yeah. 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:17.920 I'm nervous enough already. 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.280 Oh you too, huh oh yeah, oh yeah, terrified inside. 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.079 So I wonder where the tornado would even hit. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.000 I don't know. I think Seami Valley or somewhere probably. 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:27.440 Yeah. 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.000 Nice, they love us artistic types. The tornado won't come 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:31.359 for us. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:31.680 Man. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.680 Come on, I mean, I'm from Salt Lake City and 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.200 we had a tornado like twenty years ago. I think. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.359 I mean, it was a lot of drama for nothing. 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.280 It was you know, it was something to look at, 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.640 and I think it kind of Oh no, I'm like, 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:50.639 somebody probably died, and but I can't imagine did somebody 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.880 I don't know? Twenty years ago. It's the past, no 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:54.639 no history. 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.560 Their daughter's listening right now. It's their favorite pot has 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.640 been the one thing they found since mom died. This 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.240 delightful podcast, and you sit here. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.600 Mocking now she's finally leaving that review. 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.680 Oh there we go one star. Twenty years ago. My 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.120 mother just went out for a short walk and Bridger. 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.119 That's it, friend, That's how it all starts here. 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.160 Oh have you ever been close to a tornado? I 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.960 feel like the Pacific Northwest is an experienced tornado. 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.600 No, it's pretty rare. It's one of those like Vancouver, Washington, 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.880 where I grew up, had one in like the fifties 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.400 or sixties, but there hasn't been one since. But this 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.720 rain is this is even by Northwest standards? Is it really? 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:34.080 Yeah? 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.200 For the intensity and like the big drops and right, 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.560 it's pretty wild and you know it's the stereotype of 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.080 down your people just don't know how to drive it in, 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.320 so I just that's an excuse for me to stay 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.720 in with my dogs, throw on some TV. You know, 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:47.640 I don't want to do it. 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:47.840 Man. 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.200 Right as we were discussing in the previous episode we recorded, 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.800 I saw you a couple of nights ago at a 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.760 birthday party for Sarah Tapscott. 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.640 She is the best, and I didn't know this. She 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.160 didn't have a prom, so it was a prom theme party. 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.440 She went to boarding school, and she threw what was 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.960 probably probably more expensive than my high school's prom. Oh 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.760 I mean, I mean that's actually of course it was. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.040 I think prom cost one hundred dollars. But it was 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.160 an extravaganza tattoos. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.880 Bridger tattoos, and you and I both ducked the peer 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.720 pressure and came in free. We left in free. 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.960 I came very close just because I walked up like 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.279 I was going to I thought it was a temporary tattoo, 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.280 and then kind of had to just float around like 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.280 I was considering. I wasn't considering. 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.320 No, no, but I acted like I was considering. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:34.640 Course. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.160 And my wife's punk rock enough and has tattoos where 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.120 she would maybe do it, and she gets things like 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.240 maybe i'll get your initials on me, and there was 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.680 a long pause where I think that was my cue 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.120 to perhaps feeling you know what, babe, But those words 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.680 never came. Scared of the needle. I'm not ready yet. 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.080 It's gonna have to be a whole thing and a 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:53.839 lot more planning before I get my first tattoos. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:55.200 I wonder how much they were charging. 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.040 I think it was free. Wasn't it nice? 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:58.040 Free? 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.719 I think. I hope Scott's got that. I think so. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.760 But see I came in thinking they were temporary tattoos 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:05.880 and they were real, So it's like they must simply 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.040 must be charging for these. If they were free, I 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.000 would have gotten one just because of it was a bargain. 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.000 Yeah, you just don't want to get cheated. That's most 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:13.839 of everything in La. You know how much stuff stuff 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.480 I eat that like it's it's free, It's it's free. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.240 These skittles are free. Scrape for just free, it's free. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:21.760 I'm not here to be I'm not here to get cheated. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.200 It beat the system. Get in here. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.120 You're not even donating blood? 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.000 No, never, I just hang outside the parking lot let 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.520 them like, Yeah, i'd be plus, I'm coming back any more. Skittles. 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:33.960 Yeah, if I had known they were free, I probably 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:35.600 would be sitting here with the tattoo. 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.000 Right would you? Though? Really as. 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.479 The street spot and said go for it, give me 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:43.760 whatever you want, it's free. 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.520 And what would you've gotten? Like you told me? Or 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.800 maybe thinking of your first what what are you narrowing 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:48.200 it down to? 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.599 I mean, I think, uh, my dog passed away a 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.359 couple of months ago, and I'm thinking about doing something 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.240 for her. So, but that's that's the beginning and end 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:58.920 of tattoos for me. I think that would be it 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.080 and then move on. But if someone offers a free 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.520 tattoo at a birthday party, they can do it to 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.960 Sarah Tapscott's face could be on my back right now. 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.280 Ah, your back would be perfect. Come and she would 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.560 love it. You would You would leave the MVP of 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.840 the party, which is, let's be honest, what we're all seeking. 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.800 I want to buzz about me like god, Eric is 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.160 fun Boy just brought. 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:22.920 Life whispering that from a bush? 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.120 Oh yeah? Now are you a goodbye person or are 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.200 you an Irish goodbye person? I say this I'm half Irish, 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.200 so I think it's not a slur. I'm hoping. 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.840 I don't think it's a slur. I think that's something sisters. 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.400 In Ireland and kill Kenny. I'm so sorry if I've 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.200 disparaged you, but like I've perfected it. 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.560 It's a great goodbye. It's also that's the same thing 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:42.520 as a French exit. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.279 Right, Oh, I've never heard the French exit. What's the 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:46.000 French exit? 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.600 I mean, I'm I'm just assuming it's the same thing. 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.800 You just walk away, Yeah, And I think that's the 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.520 is an extra forty five minutes, right, And nobody in 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.360 the part, and nobody like Sarah doesn't want forty five goodbyes. No, 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.239 Sarah's having your first goddamn prom and she's duck queen. 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:02.400 She won queen. 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.480 She won queen. 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:04.240 Uh. 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:05.760 The rigged election bridge. 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.039 It's a rig It's a nasty little thing they do 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:09.760 over the east side on sunset. 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.520 It's a nasty little thing they do. But like, she 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.600 doesn't want you and I like. And then there's the 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.800 wait in line for everybody to give the goodbye, and 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:22.200 you're doing the same time. It's like kaiser. So there's 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.960 a wisp of wind and it's a large man leaving. 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.120 See I made this mistake at this party which I 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.120 was planning on. Just I mean, this is the bridge 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.680 or exit? Is I show up saying I'm leaving? That's 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:34.160 what I say to the first person. I've been here 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:38.000 too long, done, but goodbye. Yeah, So every person I 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.800 see is I'm leaving soon, and at least you have something. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:45.840 No, what actually was that? It's an Irish or it's 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.400 a French exit in the UK, the Irish exit in 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:50.160 the US. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:55.000 What is happening? Elish exit in Germany? English exit in France. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.400 So nobody's everyone's pointing fingers. 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.280 I think we're tiptoeing around slurs here and we're just gonna. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.480 Be light love every culture that Friday. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.000 That is incredible info every a you know what that is. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.480 It's a Polish exit and I'm sure it's related to 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:10.920 Wars in the thirteen hundred. 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:13.040 They got out. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.520 Yeah, they got out. We were in there. They left, 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:20.040 didn't even say goodbye. The tanks left. Oh that is amazing. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.480 I had no clue. Wow, mind blown. But again, people 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.920 should be embracing that exit. It's that the ideal way 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:27.680 to leave a party. 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.920 No, for those of you on the fence right now, 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:34.600 don't say goodbye. That doesn't want that, just leave and 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.680 I'll do a slight tiptoe like I saw service in 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.560 the photo booth right, and I kind of then just 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.520 kind of put my head down, you know, as unobtrusive 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.480 as a giant man could be. But I'm like, she 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.720 doesn't want that. She's so she's a prompt. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.160 She's got all these people to talk. 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:48.920 Oh so many I did. 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.760 I made a similar move, which was I was ready 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:53.160 to leave, and I said, I do have to say 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.400 bye to tap Scott, and then of course ran into 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.440 nine other people on my way. There was an extra 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.720 forty five. That's it too much. 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.640 No, it's too much. You just have to put your 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:04.240 head down and lead. 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.360 Yeah, you just leave, be as rude as you possibly can. 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.520 That's it. That's it, and then get lunch with them later. 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.320 And also, the thing I realized is like if people 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.480 are doing a party, right, they don't remember, like it's 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.720 all hazy, of course, And I think that's like the 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.040 joy of my forties is realizing like nobody's sitting there wondering, 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.720 oh my god, you know what Eric left and didn't 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.960 say goodbye, And then there's like calling people, do you 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.040 know what the hell happened that nobody cares. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:30.880 Can you imagine what your life would be if you 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:31.959 were worrying about that? 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.160 That was it for a long time. Really, I used 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.480 to be yeah, you know, base level kind of people pleaser. 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.400 And we're working through a road of access leads the 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.400 palace of wisdom. But yeah, I used to worry about 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.880 offending people too much. Okay, now it's great to like, No, 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.760 they know me, they love me, we're all good. Sarah 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.600 comes over and does craft night with my wife, I'll 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.000 see her again. It's a delight. 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.760 My concern when I'm hosting a party is that I'm 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.679 not talking to people enough. I don't care about the 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:58.600 goodbyes any of that, but I'm just like, I just 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.719 feel like i'm But that's what happens when you host 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:01.160 the party. 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:01.959 That's it. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.040 You just commit to that you're actually not going to 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.920 get to have a meaningful conversation with anyone. No, and 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.920 you'll feel like you're slighting every single person. Oh that's it, 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:11.120 and that's what it. 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.559 Is, and they're gonna leave that party like you know 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.280 it didn't talk to me. Fucking Bridger. 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.800 I will never go to another never. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.000 I'm putting his name on the list. You know, good 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.760 luck getting a job at Hulu. That pitch meeting is 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.800 going to get canceled nine times.

I didn't 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.800 even get an eye contact, nothing, nothing. That's where my 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.880 mind goes, like I'm gonna get blacklisted out and say 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.319 goodbye to enough people. But no, it's it's great. 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.720 And then we were we were talking about prom.

Wow, like with rule. But that 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.200 wasn't an issue for me, Luckily. I was so scared 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:14.080 and my head was sweating, and oh God, blessed late Bloomer, Bridger, 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:15.160 late Bloomer. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:16.680 I mean, it was not an issue for me. 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.000 That's like you come down here and you're you're in 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.120 the land of like late bloomers and like detention.

Many didn't, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.280 so I'd get jug justice under God or like I 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.679 was in Japanese and I just learned how to swear 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.320 and order water, and I learned how to write profanity. 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.320 So I ended up in jug for a while, wrote 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.000 smut for the school paper and got suspended from the 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:48.640 school paper and ended up in jug. 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.120 What are some Japanese swear words? 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.120 What do you eat shit? 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:55.920 That's polite? 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.040 Yeah?

I feel terrible. 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.439 This is all I know, and I kind of want 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.240 to go back and relearn Japanese because I do love 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.400 the culture so much, but this is embarrassing. It's all 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:15.640 I know. 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.400 And those were those were taught outside of class.

I'm 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.480 also obsessed with Japanese baseball. Oh so I'd love to 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.880 do a Japanese baseball eating trip. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.840 Oh my god, you do it right.

You just have to immediately embrace 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:06.120 whatever the hours are and you just have to basically, 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.000 sometimes you have to be awake for twenty four hours. 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.000 Sometimes you have to take some sort of thing to 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:12.880 make yourself fall asleep in the middle of the day, 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.680 whatever it takes, and then when you get back, same thing. Really, 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.720 no naps, nothing, no falling asleep early. If you're watching 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.200 TV at night. You have to be sitting in a 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:22.800 hard chair. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.839 Oh I love this. This is the fade I say, 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.199 I'm gonna do it.

And she just looked at him deadpan. Seriously, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:45.120 jet LAG's a choice. That's why you rule the world. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.040 This is why I'm a Taylor Swift type. See people 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:49.360 describe me as a tailor Swift? 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:50.880 Do they really? Uh? 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.480 After today?

There 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.560 is something else I'd like to discuss with you. I 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.760 was obviously very excited to have you here on the 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:29.600 podcast today. We met the other night, had a wonderful 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.440 conversation there. Now we're here, we've already recorded half a 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.680 podcast and watched it. Kind of just get swept away 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.600 with the digital c But there's some you know, the 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:42.640 podcast is said, no gifts, and you're already just falling apart. 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:43.320 You have. 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.960 You brought two gifts? It did clear. 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.720 I had them even wrapped at the Parchment Place on 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.280 Eagle Rock. I did. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:51.480 Yeah, they're gorgeous. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:53.960 They are. I wish I could take more credit. And 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.640 she's got like a loaded baked potato thing. I feel horrible. Okay, 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.880 I'm telling you I'm a work in progress. I'm at 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:03.240 my core defiant. I'm you say, don't touch a stove. 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.120 I'm gonna hold my hand on it and say it's great. 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.800 And I I'm gonna spend the rest of my life 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:08.640 making this up to you. 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.520 I mean, I'm furious. You feel terrible. This is the 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.560 energy you want on a podcast. Ah, you brought two 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:21.440 gifts too, which feels unfair, totally both of us gifts plural. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.200 It's in the title if I'm gonna break a rule, 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.760 I'm really I'm gonna break it. I'm spiking the ball. 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.160 I said, no gifts. No, that would be an interesting 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.280 switch of title. Should you drop the s? No? 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.280 No, you went plural, So I went plural. 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.280 Yeah. Now I'm thinking about all the past guests who 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:39.400 have only brought one gift for the star. 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:40.920 How's that going for you? 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:41.920 Slime Ball? 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.040 Was he really twenty five minutes late? He was twenty 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:49.760 five minutes had blessed he's my favorite's Oh he's incredible. 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.400 Uh well, there are two gifts here? Should I open 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:52.720 them up? 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:53.160 Yeah? 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:53.920 The podcast? 0:15:54.200 --> 0:16:00.600 Yeah, this one first of all of it. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.960 Now, this is like a little like I would say, 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:04.000 a cake box with it. 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.200 Yeah, and it's it's ultimately a failed gift because I 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.240 wanted to kind of cheat and if I'm going to 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.320 completely disregard your feelings in your one role, I'm going 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.280 to do it. Well, okay, so you said on the 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:19.160 linen parum, who is another? Come on now, that you 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:23.280 liked the princess cake from quarter Sheet? So I went, 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.840 it's not friend, it's not trust me. So I went 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.520 to quarter Sheet and then I saw there was a 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.160 line of about sixty people outside. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.280 The place is gotten out of control, insane, and. 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.480 I'm like, there's no way I can discreetly go in 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.560 thereat my way and ask for I don't need that moment. 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:41.760 So then I started reading the Yelp reviews because I 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.640 also got extremely interesting, like is it as good as 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.320 they say? All the reviews are like, it's worth the wait. 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:48.960 Best piece of maybe in the United States. 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.200 Right now, I'm so in hours, I'm going to get there. Well, 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.080 if you, apparently corny yelp, if you get there at 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:58.120 four thirty, yes, then it's a half hour. I'm here 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.000 to beat the system. No, I'm great. Then they open 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.880 and five, then I'm in. But then the only negative 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.359 stuff on Yelp was like, yeah, the princess cake. You 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.600 can get it at Clara's. Clara's in San Gabriel, and 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.679 it's so much cheaper. So I drove out there today 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:14.800 and then I showed the picture on Yelp and she 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.600
