00:00:08 Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear. But you're a guest to my home. You gotta come to me empty. And I said, no guests. Your presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff. So how did you dare to surbey me? 00:00:48 Speaker 2: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Richard Wineger. We're in the backyard. Let's all just take a look around, let's breathe the I hate American airlines. Oh my god. Oh maybe we'll get into it. I don't know. And while I've got you here trapped at the beginning of the podcast, I do and I should mention that we have merchandise. We continue to have merchandise at exactly right store dot com. We have the world's most gorgeous sweatshirt, gift master, home game, all kinds of things. It's a nice little way to support the podcast. Or you can just leave a review that's free. If you have a little money to spend, you could take out a billboard in your town. You know these are you know, there's a whole range of things, and there's no end to the things you can do when you use your imagination. And now I'm noticing there's some sort of mysterious brown paper bag here that wasn't in the yard. Hmm. I wonder where this came from. Doesn't matter. Let's get into the podcast. That's a mystery for me to solve later. I love to guest. It's Alice Weather London. Hi, Alice, welcome to I said, okay, thank you for having me. 00:02:06 Speaker 3: You got my brown bag. 00:02:08 Speaker 2: You came back for the bag. 00:02:09 Speaker 3: Yeah, came back for the bag. I guess I'm gonna sit and do a cast, bit of a cast. 00:02:14 Speaker 2: How are you? 00:02:15 Speaker 3: I'm really good. 00:02:17 Speaker 2: What's been going on? 00:02:18 Speaker 3: I did a podcast this morning, your podcast. Yeah, it's a big day for me. I'm doing really good. I'm happy to be. I love this weather. 00:02:28 Speaker 2: It feels great without rain, it's good. Yes, as long as it's not raining, it's warm enough, it's yeah. I can have the windows open. 00:02:38 Speaker 3: Oh my god, the house is breezy. Snuggle up under a duvet. I mean, I love it. Yes, California has seasons. I don't know what people people say they don't have seasons here. 00:02:50 Speaker 2: There are seasons at least two two. I would say two and a half. You have absolutely scorching heat. The scorchers then you've got rain for two to three weeks. 00:03:03 Speaker 3: Rain that we don't know what to do. 00:03:05 Speaker 2: Every year, every single year. 00:03:07 Speaker 3: Every year, we don't have the technology to capture the rain. We've never seen it before, literally last year. 00:03:13 Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was the first time. 00:03:14 Speaker 3: I remember the year before. 00:03:16 Speaker 2: You can't figure it out. And then what we're dealing with here, which is kind of a gloomy. I love the glue, love the glue. And people complain about the gloom. Now, what are you talking about it? 00:03:25 Speaker 3: Well, they're simple. Those people are simple. They're not complicated like us. 00:03:29 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. They have layers, they're very they're paper thin. 00:03:34 Speaker 3: I love this yellow on you. 00:03:37 Speaker 2: I love your colors. I feel a bit like a peep. It's kind of a peep yellow. It is a peep yellow. 00:03:43 Speaker 3: I like. 00:03:44 Speaker 2: I think peep yellow is nice. 00:03:45 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really nice on you. Not enough people were in Peep. 00:03:48 Speaker 2: People should be in peap. Peep should be I feel like Peep has a good color palette. It does. They start with the yellow, of course, yes, there's the neon green. They open with the yellow, go to the neon green, uh, fusia of course. And I think those are the three I believe there's a blue. There's a blue, like a baby blue. 00:04:07 Speaker 4: I think so I like that maybe just making that that makes sense as a pastelle. 00:04:11 Speaker 3: Look, don't email me, I'll check it out later. I don't want to hear. 00:04:14 Speaker 2: Any Oh it's a very just revealed. I wouldn't even say it's baby. It's like saturation has been turned down. 00:04:23 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:04:23 Speaker 2: And then of course the peeps have gotten into the different holidays that I don't think works for them. 00:04:28 Speaker 3: They're really trying. 00:04:29 Speaker 2: No one wants to during Christmas. 00:04:32 Speaker 3: Just calm down, calmed down, I know, greedy stack and if that I mean, if I'm lucky people are eating you an. 00:04:41 Speaker 2: Like the fact that people are even buying them. 00:04:43 Speaker 3: Ever, but you're like, oh it's Halloween. You're like, no, it's not, chill out. 00:04:49 Speaker 2: I think those are the three major peep they started East Sir probably went Halloween because it's kind of I can see a ghost. 00:04:57 Speaker 3: Peep, Fine, I'll accept it. 00:05:00 Speaker 2: Rists makes absolutely whatsoever. 00:05:02 Speaker 3: Put a peep near me at the Holy high Holiday of Christmas. 00:05:08 Speaker 2: Do you know what Easter candy I think has made a good evolution within the holiday sphere is the Cadbury egg. Because they now they sell them like in Red and Green drinking Holidays. 00:05:20 Speaker 3: There is a sketch on the internet on YouTube, I believe you can find it, probably by Curtis Gwynn and some other UCB people. It's a very early UCB sketch video about Cadbury, the company of Cadbury. I think Darcy Carden is in it, okay, and it's about Curtis gwyn plays the CEO of Cadbury, and he's coming to the people in the middle of the year after Easter, and he's like, we are done as a company. We have to sell. We're stripping the wires out of the copper, wiring out of the you know. And Darcy Carden is like, okay, but don't you think we're about to have another boom because Easter is coming up. And he's like, what are you talking about? What is Easter hat anything to do with that? We're losing money left and right. And then it clocks forward to Easter time. He's like, all right, I bought everybody a Cadillac and they're like, no, no, no, we have to This is to save money. Now he doesn't understand. 00:06:21 Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like it was a very low it was. It took them a long time figured lesson. Yeah, I mean decades its eggs. 00:06:29 Speaker 3: Well it is, it's eggs, you know, and we do have one association with eggs. 00:06:34 Speaker 2: That's true. 00:06:35 Speaker 3: It's clear. 00:06:35 Speaker 2: And they did they did such a good job of making them look like little eggs. Yeah, speckles. 00:06:39 Speaker 3: It was something a long time. They've dedicated to the egg and now they realize they need to branch out. But you're still an egg. 00:06:45 Speaker 2: You're still to me. It does taste like spring. 00:06:49 Speaker 3: It does. And you know what's funny is that Cadbury is its own company. It's got other stuff going on they have. It feels like there must be a subdivision that's just eggs. And they've been like at every meeting and they're like, so, how's eggs going for the rest of the year, And they're like, yeah, well he's just great. You know, like they haven't there's a lot of pressure. 00:07:11 Speaker 2: I feel like that or the egg people are kind of the nerds of the company and everybody is kind of punching them until just recently then they've kind of come out. 00:07:21 Speaker 3: Of there bullying. Yeah, it's a big boy, you know, And. 00:07:25 Speaker 2: Now they're on top of the world because everyone finally realized that's the one Cadbury thing everyone likes. Everyone loves it, except for the disgusting thing with that's like an egg if the cream egg if. 00:07:35 Speaker 3: You go, oh, I thought that's what we're talking about. Oh, I'll sweem myself out. 00:07:42 Speaker 2: We're on such different pages. 00:07:45 Speaker 3: You're talking about the candy coated, I'm talking about the little ones. I'm talking about the cream. 00:07:50 Speaker 2: Eg Now you're talking about something that absolutely abomination. 00:07:53 Speaker 3: I am a horrible heathen. I grew up in a pile of dirt and I shouldn't even be allowed in la yourself a disgusting person. 00:08:03 Speaker 2: I'm going to follow you to the city limit to make. 00:08:06 Speaker 3: Sure you're nasty. Frosting inside cream. 00:08:08 Speaker 2: Is inside of it. 00:08:09 Speaker 3: It's supposed to be reminiscent of an egg yolk, Like look like what's inside the egg? Right, And you're physically falling apart in front of me, and you crack it open and there's like yummy ooh, but what if it was sweet? It's horrible actually, now that I think about it, there's an actual egg white but I love it and a yolk yeah yeah, but I loved it. Wow, you know, and they have I don't know if it's the same company, but they have kinder egg in Europe. 00:08:33 Speaker 2: No, that is a difference. 00:08:34 Speaker 3: That's all your thing. 00:08:35 Speaker 2: That's an all your thing with a toy in the middle. Yeah yeah, I've never had one, but they're very They had a moment at least where people were like opening them on YouTube to get the garbage that's in the middle. 00:08:45 Speaker 3: Let me get Yeah, here's some stuff for the landfill. 00:08:47 Speaker 2: But different Yeah, different eggs. Yeah, now, I yeah, I can't believe that we were talking about different eggs, and I mean that is that speaks to a big problem for Cadberry. Yeah, it does, because oh, I guess maybe my problem was we were both I should have said mini egg. 00:09:03 Speaker 3: It's called a mini egni where the cream egg? Okay, so they do have names. It was us just like, yeah I have names, and what a what a not an opposite of a meet cute that would be each bring our eggs? 00:09:14 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, I don't know. So, yeah, I think that you were just wrong the entire time, and I was kind of speaking a truth that went ignored to power, an absolute truth to power. I didn't you had Cadbury got bought by Hershey in the United States at least, and I think her about politics. Oh, this is a nasty episode. People are going to be screaming. Uh no, I this is a political thing for me. I think Hershey bought it and has downgraded the quality. 00:09:47 Speaker 3: Yes, because Cadbury European chocolate company. 00:09:51 Speaker 2: I believe excellent. And then when you go over there. 00:09:53 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then now I had a. 00:09:54 Speaker 2: Caramelo here in the United States recently, awful. 00:09:58 Speaker 3: Oh my god, they've. 00:09:59 Speaker 2: Ruined what was It's a good candy or maybe you can't have nice thing, a candy that I probably last had when I was eleven and I am now having this adult and it's like, oh, that's not that good. Yeah, but I remember being very good. 00:10:08 Speaker 3: You're eating it and you're like, why does it say right to life? That's eggs, And it's like every life is precious, and you're like, what. 00:10:15 Speaker 2: They're going to be protecting the eggs? The Calgary egg is a human life. Oh that is so funny. 00:10:21 Speaker 3: I know, and we weren't supposed to talk about politics, but it's so funny that they're like, oh, it's a it's a life. Remember it was a life, And everybody's like wha wait, wait, wait, wait, no, it's not. 00:10:30 Speaker 2: No, it's not. 00:10:31 Speaker 3: It's like that and Liken it is. It's almost like they're trolling themselves, just touched it up for themselves. Oh no, shit, we followed our logic too far. 00:10:41 Speaker 2: We've exposed something in a huge confusing one. 00:10:44 Speaker 3: They're like cats. 00:10:47 Speaker 2: Let me ask you about your last name. Wetter Land feels like it's very much in the same category as Wineger. Oh yeah, where is the W there? They're both They definitely will start with the same letter. Yeah, they both have an N. 00:10:59 Speaker 3: I'm a W and you're a b W. So we would have been in line. 00:11:03 Speaker 2: Near each other at school, right right near each other again for dodgeball. 00:11:09 Speaker 3: So it's I think I believe it's Swedish. 00:11:13 Speaker 2: Swedish shoecase. 00:11:14 Speaker 3: Now this name I probably shouldn't give away too much, but my ancestry dot com. But my grandfather was adopted, which I guess was like a common practice in I mean it still is, but differently, people would just pick up random children. And when my grandfather was a child and they gave him their last name, which was Wetterland. So a Swedish family adopted my grandfather his name his original name. We think was Hawker h. 00:11:44 Speaker 2: A A C K E R. Which is German. Oh wow, okay, so I believe. 00:11:48 Speaker 3: I'm of German. I'm of German Norwegian descent. 00:11:53 Speaker 2: So it's all kind of tall white European people. 00:11:56 Speaker 3: Well yeah, but I'm short. 00:11:58 Speaker 2: You've I'm squat, so I must have been the thank you. Oh my god. I don't seem to me either. I always think I'm tall. How tall are you? I'm only five two and a half. I would have never guessed, really I did. Like when we first met just a few minutes ago. I didn't think, Oh. 00:12:13 Speaker 3: My god, are above you? I was above you on a stair. 00:12:16 Speaker 2: Oh interesting, Yeah, I'm really kind of did that on purpose dominate me from the very moment. 00:12:22 Speaker 3: Yeah, I really like to dominate. I left my bag here days ago. There's I just we're I think we're farmers, you know, like we're not the elite, not the sweet and the Norwegians. 00:12:34 Speaker 2: We're just like that. 00:12:34 Speaker 3: I think we lived off of the land that we did grubby potatoes or something like that. 00:12:40 Speaker 2: I don't know, do they have potato turnips? 00:12:43 Speaker 3: And just barely survived until we immigrated here, and then we were like, oh my god, look at this Cabury chocolate. Yeah, and sort of became more rotund. 00:12:56 Speaker 2: Interesting. I'm from Minnesota, Minnesota, I feel like there are a lot of Scandinavian types in Minnesota's that yeah, probably true. 00:13:03 Speaker 3: For sure, it's extremely Scandinavian. 00:13:06 Speaker 2: Have you been to any of these countries? Have you seen Switzerland, Sweden? 00:13:11 Speaker 3: I've never been. My mom went to Norway to kind of trace our roots. She went to Norway and found the house where our great grandfather like grew up, and then weirdly the neighbor's house, she met some of our like long lost ancestors or like that. Yeah, they were right next door and they're like, oh yeah, it's not we are related. 00:13:34 Speaker 2: I love Swedes. 00:13:35 Speaker 3: I don't know any Norwegians personally, but I love Swedes. My one of my best friends is Bjorn Gustafson, who is who is the actor opposite me on People of Earth. 00:13:47 Speaker 2: He's amazing. I love I love Swedish. 00:13:50 Speaker 3: They're so they're wonderful because they don't have any They're only white people generally in Sweden, so they don't know what problems are, you know what I mean, Like they don't have They're like, oh no, it's nice to always share the money. 00:14:03 Speaker 2: And you're like, yeah, because you don't. 00:14:05 Speaker 3: They are racist, but they don't have enough opportunities to be racist, so they're just there's no angling, there's no They're like, yeah, I would. I could call them and be like, can I have ten thousand dollars? And Bjorn would be like where do I send the money to? Though for it to get very quickly to you, you know, they're just so trusting. It's wonderful. 00:14:24 Speaker 2: Have you been to Europe at all? I've been to Europe a lot. 00:14:28 Speaker 3: I lived in Spain actually for a brief six month period when I was in college, did exchange in Spain in Valencia, thank you. 00:14:40 Speaker 2: Where I was. 00:14:40 Speaker 3: I was pretty good at Spanish, I was. I grew up in Minneapolis. It is a great place to grow up. It's very multicultural there. They teach Spanish as a second language from kindergarten to most kids, and so I had taken Spanish all my life, and I was pretty ready to live in Spain and be like, Okay, I'm going to do this. And then I got to Valencia and everybody was speaking Valenciano, which is a version of Catalan, which is not Spanish, and all the classes were in that and they were like oh eh bloa okay, and you're. 00:15:14 Speaker 2: Just like fucked. So did you ever catch up? Nope? 00:15:18 Speaker 3: I stopped going to class stay two, like I stopped. They went to the school. They didn't set up any This is so Spain too. They didn't set up any exchange program. They were like, you want to do exchange program? Okay, so yeah, I guess you send them to us. And then they just forgot about it or something. And the three students showed up and they were like, we're like, hey, we're here to go to exchange and they're like, ah, yes, okay, Like they just didn't Wow. It just was not part of no program, no program, a lot of exchange, no. 00:15:50 Speaker 2: Program, six months of just vacation. 00:15:52 Speaker 3: Yes, so we just I just did independent study. Like I called my advisors and I was like, I guess I'll just do independent study, which was just drugs and then yeah, and then I came back. 00:16:04 Speaker 2: A friend was recently telling me that I would not enjoy Spain. God, oh my god. Fifty children just fell into a pit. 00:16:14 Speaker 3: Oh you live by the pit school? The children pit children hard to get into Weirdly. 00:16:19 Speaker 2: Yes, very from pregnancy. You've got to start applying and making those connections. In La. It's very expensive, very elite pit that you drop your children into a horrible fiery pit. Horrible, horrible fiery pit. But it'll help you get into. 00:16:37 Speaker 3: Harvard, absolutely nearly guaranteed ivy lea after you've been pit schooled. 00:16:44 Speaker 2: Wow, how did what was I about to say before the children began screaming? I was going to say someone was selling a friend. Was something I would not like Spain, because screaming will not stop the. 00:16:54 Speaker 3: Children you want say, and that's also why you want like Spain, Like screaming will not stop. I mean during like the soccer finals. 00:17:01 Speaker 2: That is true. Probably, Yeah, it's loud, No, I was told because uh, I think it's because of small plates dinner. He said, it's so hard to just eat it real that bush. 00:17:14 Speaker 3: Also, everything's closed all the time whenever you need anything. 00:17:18 Speaker 2: Siesta. Oh that's really hard for me. 00:17:20 Speaker 3: It's somehow it's always siesta. Everything's and they've got shutters in that country. Everything's shuttered. So the shutters like you'll be walking up to a pharmacye shutters closed every time. Yeah, it's uh, I mean I began to really love it when I would travel outside the city, because like provincial Spain is very fun and it's much more relaxed people are. It's much more akin to I don't know, I would I would see it as like an experience going to Mexico or something like that, where you there's a lot of really small, cool, smaller towns with different I mean also Spain very attached to their various dialects, Like you can go down the street. 00:18:02 Speaker 5: It's a different language, which is like which is you know, They're like, oh, we won't speak Spanish because that's not our heritage, and it's like you're all going to speak English eventually, so just you might as well just for a minute, you know. 00:18:18 Speaker 3: But I remember I took a vesper ride with a friend, if you know what I mean, to the countryside and there was just people making paia in the middle of the countryside, just opened, you know. We went to a like a weekend away and I never understood anything anybody was saying. So it was like, yeah, we're going for a weekend away in the country, and I was like, Okay, that sounds great. Just getting absolutely shit faced in this sort of abandoned Castle. Oh, like all weekend long, I was like, oh, I wish I was a photographer. I was actually studying photography, but it was Yeah, it was crazy stuff going on. But small plates are annoying the hours. 00:18:58 Speaker 2: Not great. 00:18:59 Speaker 3: People are not nice, not nice. 00:19:02 Speaker 2: Not a warm people, no, not a warm people, no a fiery people. Let's make some stereotypes to do it. 00:19:09 Speaker 3: I would say they're sort of uniformly suspicious. 00:19:15 Speaker 2: And I like that. 00:19:16 Speaker 3: Yeah. And I would say they're they're sort of like New Yorkers. They're kind people, but they're not pleasant. 00:19:23 Speaker 2: Right where it's like you actually, yeah, they're a genuine people. 00:19:26 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say, yeah. 00:19:28 Speaker 2: I have a hard time with let's I mean. 00:19:30 Speaker 3: That's why we live in LA I know, just basically pleasant. I don't want to hear about you. 00:19:36 Speaker 2: I don't want to go deep to get to know you. Just be pleasant enough and let's just move on. They will see each other and then never do that. That's all I need. I'm begging to just be left alone and to leave you alone, and just be left alone. Let's do something in a few weeks. 00:19:58 Speaker 3: I have a joke about like guys on the internet being like, why don't you die alone? 00:20:03 Speaker 2: With your cats. It's like a trope. 00:20:05 Speaker 3: They say that to feminists, and it's like, I think that's so funny that they say that, because it is genuinely my dream to be left alone with my cats. Like it's whenever my boyfriend comes home. I'm like, Okay, you know another person and it's not me and the cats anymore, but it's just you and the cats. 00:20:21 Speaker 2: It's so relaxing. You're the king of the castle. 00:20:23 Speaker 1: I am. 00:20:24 Speaker 3: I'm the only one talking. Yeah, generally, my other one's kind of learning. 00:20:28 Speaker 2: But you've got something kind of just to curl up with on the Yes, you both respect each other's. 00:20:34 Speaker 3: Watch what I want to watch. 00:20:35 Speaker 2: They don't have a choice, you said the schedule. 00:20:37 Speaker 3: They don't know what a TV is. 00:20:39 Speaker 2: They don't know what a picture is. Do your cats ever watch the TV with you? We haven't done the cat TV yet, is there because I know there was for a while, like a whole channel day. 00:20:49 Speaker 3: It's back YouTube videos, all sorts of Yeah, you just go on the internet and search cat TV. I guess there's all sorts of stuff, and I'm I bet they would be. 00:20:57 Speaker 2: Activated by that. 00:20:58 Speaker 3: But we we've also heard that can get addicted to TV, Like they just sit in front of the TV and they want you to turn on the cat TV and I feel that that's. 00:21:07 Speaker 2: Sad and you don't want to get them hooked on the thing you. 00:21:09 Speaker 4: Like exactly, and or you know, look, I'm not a Star Wars person. 00:21:16 Speaker 2: That's right. Uh but that's right, that's right, you're not. 00:21:21 Speaker 3: I said that not knowing that you're not. But I just saw your outfit and I was like, correct, correct, I see those socks. No, that's so mean of me. But I also was not a Star Wars person, a trunk person, but my boyfriend is a Star Wars person, and I was like, let's give Andoor a chance. And we watched the first two episodes. We're like, this is Disney. 00:21:43 Speaker 2: It's Disney wonderful. Are you kidding me? 00:21:48 Speaker 3: It's so class conscious. 00:21:50 Speaker 2: I feel like I'm thinking, yeah, there's no, there's not a lot of like this is Commander bleeblorb, which is a lot of what Star Wars is is like all respect bleep blur. 00:22:00 Speaker 3: But yeah, I'll do I'll due respect. 00:22:03 Speaker 2: No, I really enjoyed the show and hopefully the next season that will be good too. But yes, it was the strike. Yeah, you could all be crushed. 00:22:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, well Tony Gilroy wasn't able to be on set for some of bits. 00:22:15 Speaker 2: That's not a great because of the strike. Oh so who do they have on set? The manager from Disneyland. 00:22:22 Speaker 3: Yeah, well they'll they'll write the scripts and then the actor's strike did come a bit later, so hopefully that impacted things. But then I think stuff outside the country wasn't like covered as much. So I'm worried that they filmed the whole thing without the direction they needed. But they would just have the scripts on set and then maybe a producer of somebody from the studio who was close with the writer would be there to sort of run interference. But they can't talk to the writers at all. 00:22:48 Speaker 2: Wow about yeah of course. Yeah, well hopefully it turns out. I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed when they jumped into. 00:22:54 Speaker 3: The well okay, yeah, I know this is what Star wars. He can't say stuff, you really can't. I'll say, I like the nerdy guy with his mom.

I was thrilled to have you here. Look, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I spent a lot of time in the Dallasport Worth Airport. The worst. Speaking of bad hours, all the restaurants close at nine pm. 00:24:32 Speaker 3: Maybe that is the worst airport, bad place. Legal, right to jail, that airport. 00:24:37 Speaker 2: Yeah, right to jail. Even the Starbucks was open and they weren't serving food after nine pm. It's a bad it's prison jail. 00:24:43 Speaker 3: It's horrible. 00:24:45 Speaker 2: Thee codes. Yeah, absolute jail. Uh. I come out of the door today, as we said, you're standing on on a step higher than me, immediately dominating me. I'm like a little worm. And not only are you doing that, you're holding what is clearly a gift. The podcast is called I said no gifts, and so my you know, I'm in a state of confusion. We've got the brown paper bag children falling into pits. I emotionally, I'm all over the place. I'd just like to know what's going on. 00:25:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, so do you have one to have this closet? Which is like I thought at one point when I was going to be doing adulting. I was like, I gotta have a gift closet, right. 00:25:27 Speaker 2: Oh sure, sure, kind of a the spelling. 00:25:30 Speaker 3: Yeah, because when you're going out the door, you're like, oh, and you panic, right, and then you're like you go in the gift closet and I just I spied this thing, and I was like, I don't know, man, I think I might need to bring it to Bridger's house just to see. And you could obviously regift or just whatever you want. You can't return to the store. I don't know where I got it. It's been there so long that. 00:25:51 Speaker 2: Won't stop me. I've got a lot of time to go to stores. 00:25:56 Speaker 3: I mean, okay, if I was a store, i'd want to take it back. I'd be like, sure, I'll find a price tag for this thing. But I now I'm embarrassed. Now I'm humiliated. Now your type status turned. 00:26:12 Speaker 2: Yes, I've got the whip. 00:26:14 Speaker 3: Oh my chair is getting lowered in the ground. 00:26:17 Speaker 2: Well should I open it here? On the podcast? I think so, okay, Well, it's in a very cute bag. It's in a silver bag that says mondo Mondo. Did you write this on here or was this printed on there? 00:26:30 Speaker 3: Was printed it's a reused bag. 00:26:33 Speaker 2: Mondo is something I should know. 00:26:34 Speaker 3: It's it's a jewelry company, and I feel that if I plug them on this show, they might give me free stuff. So yes, Mondo Mondo makes great jewelry and candles, and they are in Highland Park. 00:26:44 Speaker 2: You came on kind of decked out in Mondo Mondo. Well maybe it's distracted. 00:26:48 Speaker 3: These are the gap but these are gap. 00:26:51 Speaker 2: Pants silver kind of a space suit. I love them. 00:26:53 Speaker 3: I gotta be ready to go to space at anytime NASA sets, just in case somebody you know is going. 00:26:59 Speaker 2: To space at any time. That's one thing we know about everything. 00:27:04 Speaker 3: I know. That's true. Elon Musk really made it happen thanks to that. My hero obviously, our hero zero kind of every podcast dream. Yes, imagine can. 00:27:15 Speaker 2: You imagine kill me? Absolutely not actually Elon reach out. 00:27:22 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we'll see if we have an opening. 00:27:27 Speaker 2: A car. 00:27:27 Speaker 3: He might. He desperately wants to be cool, so he might. And then you just keep him kind of hanging on. 00:27:34 Speaker 2: Yeah. I kind of just oh my god, him through a bunch of things until I get exactly what I want. 00:27:39 Speaker 3: So he's like he's perennially someone's younger brother that's easy to make cry, do you know what I mean? Like, and he's like, I don't want to do this anymore, but like you are just an honest to God like walking target for ridicule. 00:27:54 Speaker 2: Just so desperate approval and has nothing to offer anyone and just looks like he has a smell. Not like a horrible smell, but a smell. 00:28:04 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a mothball undercurrent whatever it is. 00:28:08 Speaker 2: It is I have. 00:28:09 Speaker 3: If you watch my stand up listeners, you will know I have a five minute chunk on Elon that is scathing and I do want him to hear it. 00:28:20 Speaker 2: Elon, look it up, look it up? Oh man, Oh, if we attract Elon as a listener, that's going to be a problem. That'll be the end of this podcast. 00:28:28 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:28:28 Speaker 3: I bet people are in his orbit that their entire job is to just keep stuff about Elon away from Elon, Like keep people talking shit about making fun of him away from him. 00:28:40 Speaker 2: Just see. I think he kind of reminds me of the kid in elementary school that would like eat garbage in the cafeteria to impress people. Oh yeah, who would like mush up all of his food and just like oh, that's great kind of cheering it on, but no one's quite sure of what's going on. 00:28:55 Speaker 3: People were saying after the submersible exploded, they were like, don't oh, I hope that Eland is not brave enough to do this because we can't lose him, you know, like, just like, don't you know, only really brave boys do that. So probably won't. 00:29:11 Speaker 2: He won't. Okay, Well, let's get into the gift here. It's got a nice orange tissue. Oh, look at that. I like this kind of pulling it out like a little skull. 00:29:23 Speaker 3: It's a magician trick. 00:29:25 Speaker 6: Now. 00:29:25 Speaker 2: Oh but it's now I'm gonna drag I'm pulling. Okay, who's heavier than I expected. It's dense. Now we're getting to a wax paper, which I love. Oh and speaking, I pulled out an enormous gem. Gorgeous. What I would have to say is a diamond. I'm so glad I brought this. 00:29:50 Speaker 3: I love looking at it. 00:29:52 Speaker 2: I feel so powerful holding this. 00:29:54 Speaker 3: Oh my, you look powerful. I feel and imagine going to a meeting like a Hollywood meeting and you casually pull it out like you know, I honestly want it back. 00:30:07 Speaker 2: You're not getting this back. I actually want this. I feel so good right now. Listener, I'm holding a you know, it's absolutely crystal clear, flawless. 00:30:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's with a loop. 00:30:20 Speaker 2: Bring the jeweler in. It's a you know, in a classic kind of jewel shape. It's a jewel of power. 00:30:28 Speaker 3: Round cut. 00:30:29 Speaker 2: What you would say this is? 00:30:30 Speaker 3: I think it's a round It. 00:30:31 Speaker 2: Easily placed this in a ring. It's like a we would see on a ring pop or something much larger. Yeah, this is what a diamond should three inches maybe, and no diamond has the guts to be this big. Cowards, cowards, cowards all famously tell me why you brought this gorgeous gem to me. 00:30:54 Speaker 3: I bought this a long time ago for a specific person, a friend of mine who is had was like moving into a new office, and I was like, this would be a great thing, like paperweight for an office. And then for some reason I didn't give it to her, like I forgot and I got her something else, and then I had this, and I was like, well, dang it, I didn't give it to her, and then I kept matt like it became way past the time it was appropriate to give you an office warming gift, and so I just sat there and sat there, and I kept looking at it, and I go, someday, someday, you know, and I have a gift closet, you know that like a lot of scented candles, a lot of there's some peace stationary, a couple of novelty dish towels, just random shit and this and that's the other thing in there. And I was like, it's it, but it's going to be a special person that gets that. 00:31:47 Speaker 2: And then waked this object. It feels what do you think this is actually made of? 00:31:53 Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean it's got to be Swarowski glass. I don't know. 00:31:58 Speaker 2: I worry that it I don't even remember at this point. I mean, it's just one of those stores that sell stuff like that. You know, it's absolutely nothing. 00:32:09 Speaker 3: It'll be like, you know, you'll go and it will be like, here's an incense holder. We have cook wear, kids clothing. 00:32:17 Speaker 2: Right at which always is like somebody's board spouse. Somebody's board spouse would be a great name for a store. Oh I love that.

There's no real theme. 00:32:47 Speaker 3: But that u r L is available. By the way, thank you listeners had to get away from him dot com. That's amazing that that's available. 00:32:55 Speaker 2: That's a very employees hasn't made that travel agent that There are a lot of options for that URL. Some listener has been looking for the right business opportunity. Oh, I love freaking out right now. And then their family is going to be worried when they start the business. Yeah, they're going to be in a lot of debt. Yeah, but at least we gave them a bit. 00:33:16 Speaker 3: Of hope for now and hopefully monetized it. 00:33:20 Speaker 2: Monetized, monetized, monetized, that's what the world's all. 00:33:22 Speaker 3: And you're holding a diamond page, which is great. 00:33:24 Speaker 2: Oh, I would love to I have a meeting with somebody and just say monetize, monetize, monetize, it's so good. Are you a big like crystal person? Do you have anything like that in your home? 00:33:38 Speaker 3: I have one or two that were given to me. It's under a couch. I don't care about crystals at all. I'm famously I don't. I'm not anti horoscope or taro. I just don't care. Right, if you're into it it works for you, that's really great, don't the Only time I ever believed in any horoscope ever was when I saw my little Pony meme of like something about how there's like water signs. There's two little my ponies in a river talking to my little pony on land, and then it's like all earth signs, and then the water signs are in the water and they're like, come have fun and have feelings with us, and the pony on land is like fuck off. And I was like, that does speak to me, that is me. 00:34:29 Speaker 2: That's how they get you. Just one correct meme. 00:34:32 Speaker 3: I was like, okay, yes, but I don't. I don't really have I'm not a crystal person. 00:34:40 Speaker 2: What's your sign? 00:34:42 Speaker 3: It's a Taurus. 00:34:43 Speaker 2: Taurus makes perfect sense. It doesn't makes perfect sense. 00:34:47 Speaker 3: Okay, she's a tourist. 00:34:48 Speaker 2: She's a tourist. 00:34:49 Speaker 3: She's Gemini rising. That's what I know. 00:34:51 Speaker 2: Okay, I can't even get that far. I'm a libra. Okay, I've had you know, a friend gave as a wonderful gift, gave me a a whole reading with someone named Angel, I recorded I should probably go back and listen. But the only thing I took out of the thing with Angel was Angel told me that there was going to be a rom com renaissance. Oh that was kind of the big prediction for me personally, and it's in your life. I guess. I don't know how that came to be. Oh my god. And this was in twenty nineteen, and I guess there kind of was at there. We're kind of I feel like that's a safer prediction to make, right when is there not? Yeah, that's true. We're always looking for a new rom com. Everybody's always ready wants to angry for a rom com. 00:35:38 Speaker 3: Nobody nobody's not going to go. So I had of reading a terror reading or palm reading. Actually my house, well they touch you, which is nice, and I don't care for that. As I've said, my aunt wanted to do it and she was visiting, so she got her reading and then she was like now you and I was like, I don't please. My mom was there and she was like, now one of you, and my mom just like Homer simpsoned out the door. And I got the reading, and she had been very vague with my aunt, very inaccurate about everything, like couldn't be more far from the tree. He was like, oh, you're very high strung. My aunt's like literally smoking a joint. And she took my hand and absolutely read me for filth, like couldn't be more directly ascribed to it. Like she's like, well, you started your career from a place of resentment. I can see that. 00:36:28 Speaker 2: And I'm like, what the fuck? 00:36:31 Speaker 3: And she's like, hm, looks like you need to prove. He looks like you have a lot to prove. And I was like just a roast, an absolute roast. But it helped me because I was like, this person doesn't sugarcoat at all. She was like, you really need to figure out what you're passionate about and stick to that and not like resent it. I was just like, oh my god. I was like and then it was what ten bucks? And I was like, I have books. I was like, I need to wear this woman four hundred dollars immediately, you know what I mean. 00:36:55 Speaker 2: Much better than any sapro. 00:36:57 Speaker 3: Good so direct. 00:36:58 Speaker 2: Wow. 00:36:59 Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it. I was like, Okay, maybe there's something. I mean, I feel like she's just reading me and my general posture. But still that's useful to me for Timba of course, just to have somebody tell you the truth every once in a while, like you know, your whole vibe. 00:37:13 Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked that sort of thing. I mean, I've talked about this before, but I'd like to pay someone to tell me if I smell. Yeah, that kind of thing. 00:37:19 Speaker 3: What in LA, like we were talking, you need that because everybody's surface level, So like that's what LA is about, you surface level socially. And then you pay somebody to be honest. 00:37:30 Speaker 2: Tell you if there's something in your teeth, that your pants fit wrong, this kind of thing. I would be totally into its right, Oh god. 00:37:38 Speaker 3: That I have to, and I would. I would tell you this is a truth. 00:37:41 Speaker 2: Telling podcast the first and foremost. No. And while we were talking about the poem reading, I do need to get that. But why don't they combine that with the manicuring business? Yeah it feels right there. Oh my god, it's absolutely a business that could happen. 00:37:57 Speaker 3: A name for it to get away from it are taking. 00:38:00 Speaker 2: I mean I probably jump through some hoops. I bet there is, but that's great. 00:38:04 Speaker 3: Maybe in like Tahoe or something or sand Luis Obispo. 00:38:08 Speaker 2: I would love have to go to San Luis Obispo and get my nails done in my poll brilliant idea and have it be the real truth telling. 00:38:17 Speaker 3: So you're like, since you put this gem in your hand, you've just been like thinking of absolute get rich quick ideas. 00:38:23 Speaker 2: Local energy, just just blinding, terrifying. I'm never letting go of this again. 00:38:31 Speaker 3: I sleep with it. 00:38:33 Speaker 2: I am surging indentation on your neck from sleeping with it. I've been making a list of words that I don't I dislike. Entrepreneur has landed on that list. When people say that word, I don't like it either. It's a very nasally word. 00:38:48 Speaker 3: I didn't think about it till just now, but it's not good. 00:38:50 Speaker 2: It's a nasty word. 00:38:51 Speaker 3: Entrepreneur Yeah yeah, yeah, no. 00:38:55 Speaker 2: Sound horrible any but no one can say that without sounding horrible. 00:38:59 Speaker 3: Entrepreneur Yeah maybe if like it, Uh hot, mighty, this is my friend, he's an entrepreneur. No, Nope. 00:39:11 Speaker 2: And it's kind of like when someone says they're that, it just means they're annoying. 00:39:16 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like they need to borrow money they need Yeah, yeah, like a musician with no instrument really exactly. 00:39:25 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're coming to you with this very nasally word and they're desperate for cash. 00:39:29 Speaker 3: That's adjacent to hustle culture, which I also hate, despise, heate hustle culture. 00:39:34 Speaker 2: Hustle culture is people without talent. 00:39:37 Speaker 3: It just confidence, pure very la con be honest con artists. 00:39:45 Speaker 2: That stands for confidence, man, doesn't it? Are you just learning this? 00:39:49 Speaker 1: No? 00:39:49 Speaker 3: I just remember. 00:39:50 Speaker 2: Okay, but remember learning. Let's be honest. They're the same thing, confidence met Anyone with confidence is a bad person. I agree, that's let's just put it out there. 00:40:04 Speaker 3: I agree that explains so much about why comedy is so bad, you know, because once you get too many people saying yes, you're funny, you just start you're all of a sudden, you're like and people with disability should die, and everybody's like yay, and it's and then you're hosting SNL and certain. 00:40:26 Speaker 2: Fading into the background, like I can't get to host SNL now we're not. We were this close. 00:40:32 Speaker 3: It's almost like you can edit this, but it's live. 00:40:37 Speaker 2: Kind of like but it's like, Sonela, this is kind of an audition for the show Lorn reach Out, reach Out. We could both be on SNL as musicians. 00:40:49 Speaker 3: As a musician chep. 00:40:50 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, a musician. 00:40:52 Speaker 3: My boyfriend is a basis. He plays upright bass. 00:40:55 Speaker 2: Oh that's nice. Is he in a band? Yeah, well he plays with bands. Okay. 00:41:01 Speaker 3: He plays with this artist Lauren Kramer, who is up and coming Lauren reach out Lauren l O R E n okay Kramer k R A M E R. I'm only saying that because I really do believe your listeners or anybody would love his music. But also he plays with this band in town called the High Fi Honey Drops, and they do jazz standards and they play once a week, okay, and it's that's the first time I ever saw him play is like these you know, they have the singer that's like Billie Holiday esque and it's like very it feels like you're walking to the bast and it's great. It's very delightful. 00:41:41 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. You know a nice boom boom boom boom boom. You can't it's does that sound like a tune at all? 00:41:47 Speaker 3: It does, it's a tune. You're a musician, I don't know if you know this. 00:41:51 Speaker 2: Person, and foremost you are a toonster. 00:41:54 Speaker 3: So every once in a while, I'll come home and he'll his his base will be there, like in the middle of the living room, and it's like, I like it because it's like a giant violin huge. You know, it makes me feel like I'm tiny. 00:42:07 Speaker 2: Oh that's true. It's like you've gone into a giant. Oh yeah, yeah, symphony. 00:42:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, like very sweet, walk and hide under a chair. 00:42:14 Speaker 2: Do you ever try playing it? 00:42:15 Speaker 3: I've played it. I've tried to play it before. Yeah, it's just heavy. 00:42:19 Speaker 2: Right right. Were you uh conscious during the swing revival of the late nineties, I was swing kids. Oh yeah, were you have kids? Yes, swing kids. There was the cherry Pop and dad Cherry Pop and daddies. 00:42:32 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I wasn't ever gonna. I was pretty cool, you know, I feel that I was. I was in a punk I was pretty cool at that age. I wasn't gonna. I saw that it was a thing. I let the theater kids take it. 00:42:45 Speaker 2: And because of it, punk and uh swing came very close. 00:42:49 Speaker 3: Yeah, they got real like because of SKA SCA. 00:42:52 Speaker 2: That was the kind of disgusting bridge. 00:42:55 Speaker 3: It was the grimy bridge between the two. Nobody had to. 00:42:58 Speaker 2: Order it for you to be able to have the self control to avoid Yeah. Sure means a lot. 00:43:04 Speaker 3: Well, a lot of what you get into, I think at a young age is not about the medium, but the people who appreciate the medium. So like you're I was not like I started acting and I really wanted to be an actor when I was like in eighth grade and my mom was like, all right, we'll put you in theater. And then I just hated everybody. Like I was like, these people are not funny, Like they don't understand jokes that I tell and it's just a bummer. I'm always making really dark jokes and they're just like you know, And I just was like, oh, I hate this world, and so I just stopped yep completely, Well this is. 00:43:40 Speaker 2: I had a very similar experience where it's like, well, they're all dorks. Why do I want to be part of this community? 00:43:45 Speaker 3: It's really Yeah, I was like, nobody's doing what I think they should, which was also another problem I had control but there and then I didn't do anything acting wise until I was like thirty, right, right, So for a very long time, the people who did the acting made me not able to act, and it's their fault that I'm not more successful. 00:44:04 Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? You've got a list of names, have a whole. 00:44:09 Speaker 3: I certainly do. And I had to write it down because I'm not going to remember it. 00:44:12 Speaker 2: You losers. Have you followed any of their life paths of that? 00:44:17 Speaker 3: Actually, I went to high school with Josh Hartnett. 00:44:21 Speaker 2: Total loser, so a huge and I love. 00:44:27 Speaker 3: I have to say, like, I love his career path because he was like doing the Hollywood heart drub circuit. And then I think I don't know him personally, but I think he was like, like I always wanted to be a serious actor, So instead of doing this, I'm going to just not do this anymore and just take my money and run. And he just went back to live in Minneapolis for a long time, and like. 00:44:50 Speaker 2: What was he doing back there? 00:44:51 Speaker 3: Just bought a house, hanging out being chill. And then he started acting. And when he's older, because he's like now I can skip. And then he was an Oppenheimer. That's right, Forgod, what a genius. 00:45:03 Speaker 2: He's having a retinaissance. 00:45:04 Speaker 3: Yes, I think people from Minnesota. I will say this for Minnesotans, we are anti We cannot not we have to be down to earth. 00:45:12 Speaker 2: Sure, you'll never make a choice. 00:45:14 Speaker 3: You'll never make a high falutin person out of Minnesotan's We've had too much hot dish. 00:45:19 Speaker 2: There's one of them out there that's feeling very unseen right now. 00:45:22 Speaker 3: And so they should be unseen, in visible. Nothing for you. I'm trying to think anybody that like what we got? We got what? Who is from Minnesota? That's a reason, Dylan, No, it's not from Minnesota, Prince Prince. 00:45:40 Speaker 2: But Prince feels down to earth to me. I recently learned he loved Doritos, cool Ranch Doritos, Prince Prince, all. 00:45:47 Speaker 3: Of Bob Dylan, Bob Dylan, Yeah, the most down to earth John William Scott. 00:45:54 Speaker 2: Okay, Breckon Meyer, breck and Meyer Okay, yeah, Josh are not a lot of people. Yeah, that's a there's a big gap between Prince and breck and Meier. No offense to anybody, No offense to Prince. 00:46:09 Speaker 3: Breckenbaya, who is a person in the Wales. But so yeah, Prince used to travel go around with bodyguards, but he would just do normal stuff. So he would go to this movie theater by my house with all these bodyguards. Oh my god, and he was the small one, and there's all these bodyguards around him, and they would just like wander around and be like like he was the best.

I remember being like, oh, that's the biggest diamond. 00:47:13 Speaker 3: I paid too much. 00:47:14 Speaker 2: Then, I feel like the Hope diamond was really the size of a walnut or something. But I remember just being like thinking it was gonna be like a ductail's size diamond, and then it was like, oh, that it can fit in like a. 00:47:31 Speaker 3: I saw the Crown jewels in the Tower of London. 00:47:35 Speaker 2: Uh huh, Okay, they're kind of big. I guess it's all kind of subjective. 00:47:39 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean those are You're in a little tower, so maybe it seems. 00:47:42 Speaker 2: They put you in a very small tower. 00:47:44 Speaker 6: Remembering forced perspective we've established, well, I think it's time to play a game on a leases today. 00:47:56 Speaker 2: What is today?

I need a little bit more of a thing to need to do. Okay, I'm gonna try stardoo. Your life will get sucked away. 00:50:12 Speaker 3: People are saying about starting We will take over anyway. Yeh. Stream on Twitch Tuesdays and Fridays. 00:50:18 Speaker 2: It's a good time. She'll hang out, all right. This is how we play gift Master. I'm gonna name three celebrities and three gifts, three things you can give away, and you're gonna tell me which celebrity you'll give which gift and why does that make perpose? 00:50:33 Speaker 3: Yes, I hope I know everybody. 00:50:35 Speaker 2: I hope you do too, but if you don't, we can always explain. Okay, I basically know the I know all three of these people. Okay. Number one is Jen Shaw. Do you know who this is? Okay's incredible and it's a shame that she's now in prison. It took her this long to get into the game, and now she's in jail. She was a real housewive of Salt Lake City. She defrauded a lot of senior citizens. 00:50:58 Speaker 3: She was like, I care a lot, lady, Oh, I care a lot. 00:51:02 Speaker 2: Oh that was some frauding them within their homes or whatever. This was a phone banking. She's an number two kit Harrington who plays Shawn Snow. Yes, I'm not sure what he's doing now elderly, he had someone had to take over. And number three is a net betting Okay, of course we know it net benning. 00:51:26 Speaker 3: Yes. 00:51:26 Speaker 2: The three gifts you're going to be giving away are number one a dire warning, so you'll be giving them a dire warning about something. Number two energy efficient windows. We all need them. And number three is a sock full of batteries. Which will you be giving to? 00:51:42 Speaker 1: Who? 00:51:42 Speaker 2: And why? Oh? 00:51:43 Speaker 3: Ask questions about the gifts. Of course qualifiers is the is the sock full of batteries? Are they used up? Or are they full power? 00:51:51 Speaker 2: That's up to you actually, as the gift giver. 00:51:53 Speaker 3: Okay, both two, actually three very environmentally forward gifts. 00:52:01 Speaker 2: That's very interesting. It's care first, it's a very ghost future present yeah, fast and future. 00:52:12 Speaker 3: Well. The first the first thing that occurs to me is if I could put energy efficient windows into a prison, I will. That would be a cool thing to do. 00:52:22 Speaker 2: That's a great idea because. 00:52:24 Speaker 3: They don't have a lot of windows, I don't think, not enough daylight, so you wouldn't have to spend a lot of money, and then it would be easier to heat and cool the facility, right, which. 00:52:36 Speaker 2: I'm sure is a problem. Sure, you know, and anything that. 00:52:40 Speaker 3: Makes lives easier for those people who are incarcerated. I want you to know. I'm very I'm on the right side of everything. Okay, I'm not getting canceled. Nobody come for me, bibes, come for me, try me. 00:52:54 Speaker 2: Okay. 00:52:55 Speaker 3: I will apologize so hard if I have ensed anyone anyway. So that would be Jen's gift. I think if she, especially if she gets to look out one wow, because looking on a window is a great way to contemplate your wrong thing. 00:53:09 Speaker 2: That's true a rainy day. You're just looking out thinking those senior citizens that will go to the grave without their money. 00:53:16 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm just saying senior citizens generally wrong side of history, right, because there are a lot of racists, so a little bit, I'm not one hundred percent like I think probably gen defrauded a lot of racists, and I do like that. 00:53:29 Speaker 2: So that's for her. 00:53:33 Speaker 3: I think I'm going to give a net the sock full of batteries. It's a gut thing. Okay, it's a gut thing. I don't think that a net betting would be too offended, especially if they're rechargeable, but even if not, like she'd be like, I feel like a net Betting in her element is sort of somebody who's like maybe a Tibetan prayer flag, you know, and she's like, oh, yeah, I can put these in the door with the thing, you know. I feel like she's a putterer. 00:53:59 Speaker 2: Ely has a drawer fall of. 00:54:01 Speaker 3: Batteries, yes, and she's like a sock that will fit in nicely here and she just squishes it into the junk. 00:54:07 Speaker 2: Drawer where its organized. 00:54:09 Speaker 1: It. 00:54:10 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't see a net Betting as somebody whose home is like immaculate but not filthy. No, it's not. 00:54:15 Speaker 2: It's it's pleasant. 00:54:16 Speaker 3: It's got a lot of sort of bear or treated wood, you know, not too much. We're not it's not a Victorian mansion, but I'm thinking it's got nice exposed beams. But also, you know, the TV is not not huge, right, there's a lot of years old, a lot of different kinds of tea in an house earthy, and what if it's you know, you know, you have a sock that's like a nice sock that's like handmade or something, and you're like well, I can't find the other one. 00:54:47 Speaker 2: I guess I have to throw the sock away batteries. Fill it with batteries, of course, and I think. 00:54:52 Speaker 3: She'd appreciate that. So then Kid is getting the warning. 00:54:57 Speaker 2: Oh boy, which interesting, which I I'm betting here. 00:55:01 Speaker 3: Well, the reason I picked that is because I think of hot guys like that as just needing a little bit of extra protection. 00:55:08 Speaker 1: Oh. 00:55:09 Speaker 3: You know, they probably go about their lives getting doors opened for them, and then when they get to a certain level of fame, it's like, I just worry. He seems so nice, he seems like such a sweet and I'm so just forgiving and sweet and like a little bit maybe naive. So I I would just be like, Kid, watch up, I need you to watch your back a little bit. 00:55:31 Speaker 2: Protect, okay, protect protect the Kit. I feel like you've fully just read the John Snow character on to Kit Harrington. 00:55:39 Speaker 3: Maybe maybe, but that's you know, he had to access he had to access something with it. We all do. 00:55:46 Speaker 2: As when we act, and when we act. 00:55:48 Speaker 3: It's it's a dire warning for Kit. And maybe it's just something about a choking hazard, you know, But I want I would like him to be around a little bit longer. 00:55:56 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think that that's absolutely perfect. I think that you really thought about these celebrities in a way that they haven't been we've they haven't been seen before. You've made Jenna hero. You made a net the earthy aunt that we all want her to be. Yes, and uh, you know, Kid's gonna be fine. Kid's gonna be. 00:56:17 Speaker 3: Fine, fine, Kid's gonna be all right. 00:56:19 Speaker 2: The kids are all right. Wow, speaking of a net Benning. 00:56:23 Speaker 3: Yeah, wow. 00:56:25 Speaker 2: I mean the way that these things come together, it's incredible. Life is amazing. This is the final segment of the podcast. It's called I Said No Emails. People write into I Said No gifts at gmail dot com desperate for answers, Okay, even a clue to navigate their world. That's what they need from us. Will you help me answer a question? 00:56:45 Speaker 3: I love to give unsolicited advice and my second favorite is solicited perfect. 00:56:50 Speaker 2: So this is kind of in between. Yeah, Bridger and Guest, I can't do this without you. In the last few months, I've become friends with the guy in my in my Rex Sports league. We see each other regularly at the matches, but we've only hung out once outside the context of our league. He has now invited me and a teammate to his boyfriend's housewarming slash birthday party. My teammate and I have never met his boyfriend and know literally nothing about him. I only know the boyfriend exists because I one time asked, are you gay? Because there's no other gay people in our league. Other than that, the boyfriend is essentially a ghost. One more thing, my friend doesn't live with him, so we're just going to a total stranger's home. Every one of these emails feels like one of those math problems you have in sixth grade where you have to There's like who is this person? And how do they get in the train at what time? Why is there so much so there are people involved on the invite. He expressed twice that guests do not have to bring anything. His insistence feels like a challenge. What should I bring to establish that I am not intimidated by his rules or home ownership? Additional context, before I knew about the boyfriend, I had a passing crush on my friend. It's okay if this gift also says I'm not rooting for you to break up, but I wouldn't mind if it happened naturally and amicably. Do you say amicably or amicably? It's amicably amicably amicably. Yeah, thanks for all your help, Kevin. Okay, So, just to try to clear this up, Kevin is in a sports league with a man who he assumed was gay, knew he was gay. 00:58:27 Speaker 3: Asked if he was vibed to be gay. 00:58:30 Speaker 2: It was vibes that are gay. Clearly a straight man who is now afraid he said in the moment, Yes, I'm gay, and is now living a gay life. Is that what we're getting at here? Did he make him gay? He made him gay because the man was too polite to say no, went out and got a boyfriend, went out and got a boyfriend, and now it's a whole life he's living. He's so confused his boyfriend. 00:58:49 Speaker 3: He seems happy. He's met a homeowner. 00:58:51 Speaker 2: So that's good, a homeowner. That's true. Here's what I'm getting. 00:58:55 Speaker 3: I feel like the guy is with this guy that he's inviting you over. If you're inviting people that have never met the boyfriend to the home, you're trying to show off that home. Oh so you're dating the home. 00:59:08 Speaker 2: You've fallen in. It's one of those objects sexual. 00:59:10 Speaker 3: I think that this guy is dating because of the house, and he's actually vibing with the teammate. I think that they actually have a thing. So either open up their relationship guy dating the homeowner, or stop this. Stop you're flirting because it's making our friend crazy. And in terms of what to bring, I would say something like, I don't want to say like a sheer shirt, you know, like a like a sport, like a mesh foot. Is there a way you could go on fan or fan Zone or one of those like sports websites. 00:59:50 Speaker 2: I had to leave him dot com or had to get away from him dot com and. 00:59:53 Speaker 3: Get like one of those like like really cheesy team sports like items of clothing. I got this tied iye Dodgers shirt that is so cute and so chic, but it's like they sold it for five seconds. One of those things. Maybe something like that. Because you're not both in a sports league. 01:00:12 Speaker 2: Right, I think you've probably talked about because the boy the homeowner is not in the sports league, and this is the perfect way to wedge something in the relationship we have in common you don't have in common with you home. 01:00:22 Speaker 3: It should be something they've talked about in the homeown and the what kind of sport did he say? 01:00:28 Speaker 2: He didn't say, I mean it? Could we assume. 01:00:31 Speaker 3: Here it's not golf. That's not a league, a golf league. 01:00:34 Speaker 2: A few people golf within leagues. It's probably a volleyball. 01:00:38 Speaker 3: Soccer, soccer, baseball. 01:00:40 Speaker 2: Baseball top and you get into things like dodgeball. 01:00:43 Speaker 3: It could be dodgeball. 01:00:45 Speaker 2: Now we're just naming sportsball just fine curling. 01:00:48 Speaker 3: So I'm on an adult directly, What is so this really? I have a lot of. 01:00:54 Speaker 2: Happened to you? 01:00:55 Speaker 3: This could have happened to me? 01:00:57 Speaker 2: Could I was touched? 01:00:59 Speaker 3: There's a baseball league in LA called the Los Angeles Baseball Federation that I'm a part of. Do you know the comedian River Butcher. 01:01:09 Speaker 2: Of course River's been on the podcast. Oh he did. Okay, he's very stylish, but he's also on my league. Okay, great, And this is a huge. 01:01:20 Speaker 3: Hugely into baseball, much more of a jock than I would ever qualify to be, just kind of one of those guys that knows the stats, right, I mean, River knows. 01:01:28 Speaker 2: A lot of stats. 01:01:29 Speaker 3: I'm not a stat person as much, but I do say that there's a couple other people on my team you might know, but like are my league. But it's a large league, and so there's a lot of socialization. There's a lot of like we do pick up games between the you know, so you make friends and sometimes there's flirtations between people. 01:01:47 Speaker 2: Of course. 01:01:47 Speaker 3: I met my love on the league. Yes, before we were this league, we actually met. We're on separate teams and we met. 01:01:56 Speaker 2: Wow, this guy has so many hobbies. 01:01:59 Speaker 3: I know he's very sporting, good for Yeah, that's amazing. Well, it's a career. 01:02:04 Speaker 2: He is a musician, but it must have started as a hobby. Yeah. 01:02:10 Speaker 3: Oh, I think he grew up in a music family. So it's like one of those things like you're got to going to the family business and it's like. 01:02:18 Speaker 2: You know, but but yeah, so I get this. 01:02:22 Speaker 3: I get the rec league. It's a very because you're getting physical with people. 01:02:27 Speaker 2: You know, it's very hot, it's sweaty, it's a hot. 01:02:30 Speaker 3: Good time. And you get the competition aspect, which is always sexy. 01:02:34 Speaker 2: I love this for you. 01:02:35 Speaker 3: I'm so excited you're going to go too, and and and maybe if you can bring a teammate. I don't know who they invited, but if it is somebody you can confide in, because that will make it so much more fun. 01:02:45 Speaker 2: Oh yes, and what clearer sign to someone than to go to their boyfriend's home. It's a birthday party for the homeowner. It's a house warming party for the homeowner. And the person you're trying to attract is getting the gift that's exclusively for them, has nothing to do with the birthday or the house. 01:03:05 Speaker 3: Yeah, because let's be honest, if you were over the crush, you wouldn't have mentioned it. 01:03:09 Speaker 2: But you mentioned it. 01:03:11 Speaker 3: We saw right through your email. 01:03:13 Speaker 2: You purb and if all else fails, give a giant view. I got a giant gym. That movie stressed me out, still stresses me. No, it really hurt me. 01:03:26 Speaker 3: I'll be doing fine. Then I'll be like, oh that movie exists that stressful. 01:03:31 Speaker 2: Well, we answered Kevin's question perfectly. The homeowner is now living alone again more. 01:03:38 Speaker 3: Is boyfriendless certainly, or is not, or you know, maybe has moved on. 01:03:43 Speaker 2: Or this straight man that had been living a lie has now been unleashed and now who knows what's going on? Oh my gosh, Kevin is terrorizing the straight community. And we love that. 01:03:54 Speaker 3: We do. We love that gay find a way, Gay finds a way. 01:04:01 Speaker 2: Answered perfectly, Kevin, don't write back in Oh, Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice. I love my gift. 01:04:08 Speaker 1: I'm so glad. 01:04:09 Speaker 2: I'm going I'm gonna just hold this around the house. 01:04:11 Speaker 3: This is. 01:04:13 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take this to coffee shops and just sit there and kind of. 01:04:16 Speaker 3: I will have you're already twirling it like a pro. You should take it to the jewelry district and be like, do you have a setting for Oh? Not this, Sorry, I'm just holding this. 01:04:27 Speaker 2: Sorry, it was loose in my purse. I've got so many of these things. I absolutely love it. It's gorgeous. No one can take it from me. Someone will have to plan a heist. Oh, to be the victim of a heist. 01:04:41 Speaker 3: To be somebody who just lives in a normal house, and you have to have there is a heist because of this, and you have to you have to the problem with this gift is you have to put lasers in now. Oh absolutely, And that sucks. 01:04:54 Speaker 2: It sucks, but it's also very sexy. 01:04:56 Speaker 3: It is because Tom Cruise is gonna come through. 01:04:58 Speaker 2: It's going to lower from my two feet down.
