1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here. I thought I made myself

2
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: perfectly clear. When you're a guest in my home, you

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests,

4
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: your presences presents enough. I'm already had too much stuff,

5
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: So how do you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: Welcome to? I said, no gifts. I'm Bridgard Wineger. I'm

7
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: so happy you're here. What's going on with my life today?

8
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: At day? Well, look, I decided I would finally throw

9
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: out some leftovers in the fridge that I had kind

10
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: of been saying I would eat, promising myself I would eat,

11
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: and never did. So I just took a bag and

12
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: threw all of those away. And so I'm feeling in

13
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: control of my life, maybe for the first time in months.

14
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: And you've probably already noticed that confidence in my voice,

15
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: and hopefully that'll carry through the episode and maybe bleed

16
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: into your own life. We all need to feel that

17
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: little bit of control. And with all that said, who cares?

18
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: I want to get to our guest. I think our

19
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: guest is so funny, she's so wonderful. Please welcome io

20
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: a deboririe Io. Welcome to.

21
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: I said, no gifts, Butridgard, thank you for having me

22
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: on your podcast.

23
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 4: I said, no gifts.

24
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: I'm so happy to have you here. You know you

25
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: and I.

26
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: There was it needs to be said.

27
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: There's a good chunk of our lives. When we were

28
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: running into each other on in our neighborhood, constantly, constantly,

29
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: NonStop to I was saying you. I mean, technically, I

30
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: mean my boyfriend was on tour at the time, but

31
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: I was seeing you more than my boyfriend.

32
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 4: You are the one.

33
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: Person in my life that I was seeing on maybe

34
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: a weekly basis by purely happens.

35
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: It happened, fleet accidents, dance, happenstance.

36
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, happen chance, which could be every thing.

37
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: Which could be the name of our rom com. That's

38
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: sort of like more about a m about friendship.

39
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: Right, happened chance? You know, two people who are just

40
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: running into each other on occasion, and then the movie

41
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: is just nice little chats here and there. It's a

42
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: kind of an after what is that show or that movie?

43
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: After Midnight, after Sunset?

44
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: Before three?

45
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: The three movies? Which what's the first one?

46
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: Is it?

47
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 4: Before sun Sunrise?

48
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: That's our movie, except for you know, we won't really

49
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: get into any deep topics like the two leads of

50
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: that film. We'll just have neighborly chats. I haven't. I'm

51
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: finally going to just come out on this podcast. This

52
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: is the one where I say, look, I've never seen

53
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: a movie, and hopefully people can just accept that.

54
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: Well, I think that's good.

55
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 3: In your first movie will be our movie.

56
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: It'll be the premiere of our movie.

57
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: I think that's beautiful, and.

58
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: I feel like it's My reaction is going to be like,

59
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: you know when the early movie with the train coming

60
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: towards the theater goers and everyone kind of freaked out.

61
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: My reaction will be similar. I feel like I'm going

62
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: to have a complete breakdown in the theater and you

63
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: will have to carry the film franchise on your own.

64
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: I'll be recast.

65
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 4: I'm willing to take on that burden.

66
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: But you will be like a real, real strong creative

67
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: presence during the process. You know, in the following movies,

68
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: which my hope is they end up becoming something monstrous

69
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: on a Marvel level.

70
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: It's a universe. It's a universe a DC level, you know,

71
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 2: where everything's kind of taken very seriously, kind of grim.

72
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: It'll get more and more grim as it goes on.

73
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: The movies are so darkly color corrected, you can't even

74
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 3: see what's going on.

75
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: Zack Snyder will step in and just do his thing.

76
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 4: He's going to step in. Somebody will be fired and

77
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: he will step in.

78
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: Well, I'll be fired, and you know I'm got I

79
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: kind of fancy myself as Zack Snyder type.

80
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 4: And that's how I fancy you as well.

81
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate it. So for him to step in,

82
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: why not? Yeah, I owe my earbudget fell out of

83
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: my ear and it feels good.

84
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: Very luxurious. I will say, can I get something off

85
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: my I want to hear it. Well. I I ordered food.

86
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: I thought it would come before the podcast recorded, and

87
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 3: so at some point there might be like a knock

88
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 3: on the door or so.

89
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 4: I just wanted to get that all right, chest because

90
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 4: I really tried. That's okay, and I did it well.

91
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 3: And I think people can hear the confidence in your

92
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 3: voice and the shocking amount.

93
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: Of doubt in line, just kind of the nervousness and

94
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: the fear of approaching.

95
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: I could not believe that my life has gotten to

96
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: this point where I try to time out an order

97
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: and it.

98
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: Goes so poorly as to at some point check check offs, checkofs,

99
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 4: door desk.

100
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: If you introduced the door the first three minutes of

101
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: the podcast.

102
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: Delivered, the door will be knocked and the food will

103
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: be delivered exactly.

104
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: Well, let's hear about this food you've ordered. What did

105
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: you order?

106
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 4: Okay, well I ordered a salad?

107
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: Oh nicely?

108
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 4: Did I even say the business say it?

109
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: I don't care.

110
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: Well, I gotta do you give me something because I

111
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: said your business?

112
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 4: And I know there's people who work there who listen

113
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 4: to podcasts.

114
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: Wait, so that is it's up and they look the type.

115
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: Oh, we'll get into that.

116
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 4: Who is it.

117
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: Who's the salad coming from?

118
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 4: The salad's coming from Kismet?

119
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: Oh, Kismet better give us both free chicken and salad

120
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: for the rest of our lives.

121
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 4: Here we go.

122
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: If nothing else is twenty percent off coupon. I mean

123
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: they make a good chicken, they make a good salad,

124
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: they make a fried potato.

125
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, the potatoes are really good.

126
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 2: Kismet Rotissary. Uh, send us some free food.

127
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: Well, and you notice, And I think there is something

128
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: to be said. And I'm not saying that. We're saying

129
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: it because we are very pro Kismet rotissory and the

130
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: deals and steals that they'll be giving us in the future.

131
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: But I think there is something to be said that

132
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 3: we're specifying Kismet rotissary.

133
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, this is not Kismet original. This is Kismet rotisseriy.

134
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: Just see a little rotisserie shack in Los Angeles. So

135
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: if you're ever here and you want to, you know,

136
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: splurge on some chicken, that's a place to go. Are

137
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: you getting chicken on your salad? Are your vegetarian? What's

138
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: your situation?

139
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: I am getting chicken on my salad.

140
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: I used to be a vegetarian and then I started

141
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: eating meat again.

142
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: What turned you.

143
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 4: Well, the official.

144
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: Answer is I was acting in this show called Dickinson

145
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: where we wore corsets and on set we would be

146
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: in corsets and you would get laced up before lunch

147
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: and then you'd have to eat lunch.

148
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: Loosely. So I would.

149
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: I was just like, I can't be a vegetarian. I

150
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: can't be eating vegetables while I wings up in of

151
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: course it all day.

152
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,559
Speaker 4: I need like bone marrow.

153
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: You're going to pass away if I don't have a

154
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: ribbi steak in the middle of the day.

155
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: So that's kind of the official answer.

156
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: So you're just that's recent, then that is a bit recent. Okay,

157
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: what's the unofficial answer is.

158
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 4: That one day I was like, I think I want

159
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 4: to have fried chicken again.

160
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: I don't blame you.

161
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 4: I was like, I thought to miss how this tastes

162
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: and smell and me eating like.

163
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: A king oyster mushroomed about it's not hitting the same

164
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: right right.

165
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I could say plenty of great things about

166
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: a mushroom, but sometimes I just need a little chicken.

167
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: I need a little you know, carne asada, this sort

168
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: of thing. I wonder. I've never been vegetarian. I don't

169
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: know that i'll ever be. Most of the food I

170
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: eat I feel like as good vegetarian options, but I'm

171
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: very lazy, and I feel like being a vegetarian, at

172
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: least getting into it requires some level of you know,

173
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 2: sicktuitiveness that I don't have.

174
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: Well, the first time I was a vegetarian, I was

175
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: in vegetarian high school, and I did it.

176
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,239
Speaker 4: For ethical sort of reasons.

177
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 3: I was like, well, the corporations aren't going to stop corporating,

178
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: so I'll just stop. I'll just eat less meat. But

179
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: Both of my parents are immigrants from meat heavy cultures, right,

180
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: Caribbean food, African food. Oh delicious, incredible, incredible, And we've

181
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: got meat at the heart of we got meat in

182
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 3: the stock, we got we got fish, we got all

183
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: that stuff. And so I just was like, I can't,

184
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna stop. And then during every holiday

185
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: my family would be like and so you're not eating meat?

186
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 4: Every cute like mocking me.

187
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: And then at my graduation party there was and it's

188
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: really sad, but there were hot dogs being cooked, and

189
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: I was like, this is actually what I'm gonna If

190
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna break, I'm gonna go on a meat break.

191
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: It has to be the worst possible meat. So I

192
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: eat a hot dog.

193
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: You went for a hot dog, liver hot dog.

194
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: I feel like, as a parent, that's a really hard

195
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: situation if your kid decides to become a vegetarian, because

196
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: it's just like, now, what we have to make you.

197
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 3: A special eight Well, I was seventeen and so my

198
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: mom was like, oh, you can cook your own dinner,

199
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 3: and I was like.

200
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: How what we her?

201
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 4: She's over it making it?

202
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: Did you just start making yourself oatmeal?

203
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 4: I know, I actually don't like eating.

204
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: This is in the next three hours. This podcast is

205
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: going to be three hours and I'm going to just

206
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: have a full dive into your food history.

207
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: Well, I've got the name of the episode for you.

208
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 4: I actually don't like oatmeal.

209
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 3: What, Yeah, I really don't like Is it a texture thing?

210
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: It's texture smell smell.

211
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

212
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 3: I find it really like something is very off putting

213
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: about it.

214
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: What oatmeal barely has a smell. It's like, wait, is

215
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: the food here? Yeah, go get your food? Is rudely

216
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: interrupting to get her chicken salad. We're going with her.

217
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 2: I'm going to describe what's happening. We're going through her

218
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: what appears to be a fifty bedroom mansion.

219
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 4: Thank you, Hi, I'd have a good day.

220
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: The food has arrived. Oh and the door dash person

221
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: has left. They were wearing a pink sweatshirt and they

222
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: were on their way to a next their next delivery.

223
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: So hopefully the next delivery is not someone who's committed

224
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: to a podcast like our io. Fortunately, a salad, I

225
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: think is a good option when you're on a podcast

226
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: because you don't have to worry about it getting cold.

227
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: If she had ordered a you know, a curry or

228
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: a hot soup. We would just have to shut down

229
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: the podcast or listen to Io slurp for the next hour.

230
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: And I'm not going to do that today. I don't

231
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: have the patience or the time. I'm getting a very

232
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: spinny view of Io's apartment. I'm extremely dizzy. I looks

233
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: like she's in a music video.

234
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 4: Is that I chose to be silent?

235
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: That you deserved narration for that, and I was happy

236
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: to give it to you, your partner in film, right,

237
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: partner in walking, partner in film. I no longer live

238
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: in your neighborhood, so we don't run into each other anymore.

239
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: I know when you told me you were moving the

240
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: most recent time we saw each other, it did sort of,

241
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 3: and you know your boyfriend was there.

242
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: It did? It did? I felt like something was still

243
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 4: in from me.

244
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: I will well you did? You left in tears? I

245
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: have to say. Jim did say to me it's either

246
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 2: Io or me. Make the choice, and it wasn't easy,

247
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: but I finally just said, look, I've been in this

248
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: relationship this long. I'm not I can't leave Jim for

249
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: seeing Io around the neighborhood. That might change in the future.

250
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 4: This is interesting.

251
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: It was my boyfriend said, it's either Bridge or me.

252
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 3: I said, well, Hostelavista, Hostel.

253
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: A Pasta, you are more committed seeing you around. I

254
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: don't know, I don't know how to make that any

255
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 4: more clear.

256
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 2: Iowe just in general, how have you been? I want

257
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: to know.

258
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 4: I think I've been okay to good, which I think

259
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,479
Speaker 4: that works for me. That's pretty good for right now. Yeah.

260
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: I did talk about this with a friend recently or

261
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 3: I was like, huh that there's just been a year

262
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: of trauma and we're all still kind of chugging along.

263
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: Well, I think that it's kind of just a you know,

264
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 2: Wiley coyote off the cliff moment where he still thinks

265
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: he's on the ground, or you know, at some point

266
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: we're all just going to have a complete mental collapse.

267
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 4: I think, uh huh.

268
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: I don't see any possibility of a future where this

269
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: last year of trauma doesn't have an effect on me

270
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: long term.

271
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 4: Well, my solution was we introduced siesta.

272
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 2: Oh, not a bad idea.

273
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: I just feel like the idea of policy change or

274
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 3: any sort of structural or like, you know, any sort

275
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 3: of change like that. I think it simply won't work, right,

276
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: And I think something like siesta or every town has

277
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 3: like a town.

278
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: Square yoga session. I think something like that it will

279
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 4: help a little.

280
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: Plenty of countries have proven that a siesta works. You know, people,

281
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: nobody has to complain about a siesta, A nice little

282
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: relaxing time. Let's just throw it in there.

283
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 4: Why not?

284
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: I mean, the last year has just been total chaos.

285
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: Well, I think people are tired, so let's give them

286
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: naps in the middle of the day.

287
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: Are you a big napper?

288
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 4: I am really good at napping, and I think I can't.

289
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: Do it too often because I'm too good at it,

290
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 3: if that makes sense.

291
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: You don't want to show off.

292
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 4: I don't want to.

293
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: Show off, and I don't want to lose myself to

294
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: lose myself to naps.

295
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: Right, But you know.

296
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 4: Sort of that.

297
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: What time are you napping? When you do nap?

298
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 4: Okay?

299
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: I think maybe this is also a thing because I

300
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: haven't been in like an office in a while.

301
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 4: But you know, like normally when you're when.

302
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 3: You have like a job, and you get that sort

303
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 3: of like tiredness like around like one two, right, and

304
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: then you're like, I'll have a coffee and I'll be

305
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: uplifted by my coworkers, but I don't have any.

306
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: Coworkers step lift me. I just have myself and my couch,

307
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 4: which is very good for dabbs. So I sit on

308
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 4: the couch and I dap on the couch.

309
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: Oh.

310
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: I love a couch nap. I love falling asleep on

311
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: the couch. I mean, I don't think the sleep quality

312
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: is as good, but it feels way better.

313
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: It feels a thalsand times better. There is also something

314
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: where I feel like I'm an adult and like this

315
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: is my house and I could sleep on the couch

316
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: like in my mother's home. I'm called a dang slob.

317
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: I'm slovenly for sleeping on.

318
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: The cop I didn't realize this podcast was just going

319
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: to turn into a full on attack on your mom.

320
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I have some things to say to her,

321
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 4: don't I.

322
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: Yes, she's a big fan of the show, so she's

323
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: going to be disappointed.

324
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 4: But she might mean.

325
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: I think that's why I'm acting out.

326
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: There's a chance she skips your episode. I feel like

327
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: she's had enough of you.

328
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 4: We got some things to work out for her.

329
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: What else are you doing with your time besides snapping

330
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: on the couch like a slob.

331
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, my mother is the angel investor in this podcast.

332
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: I see she is dumping money into this podcast. She's

333
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 2: paying for my wardrobe.

334
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 3: My mother is doing the ads for the podcast.

335
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: Oh that's my goal now is to get Io's mom

336
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: to record one ad on this podcast, and.

337
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 4: We'll be right back after this break.

338
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: Hi.

339
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 4: So I wanted to say, how is everybody doing?

340
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: Hey?

341
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 4: Did you have anything to eat? And make sure you're

342
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 4: taking a vitamin.

343
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: Oh God, bless I'm in love with her already, but

344
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: just feels like you're avoiding again. The real important question

345
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: is day. Yeah, I need, I need its accountable.

346
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 4: I wake up.

347
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: I still try to keep my planner, you know, even

348
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: though my days aren't as full as they used to be.

349
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 3: I just will try to keep my planner and I

350
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: write things.

351
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 4: I look at my planner and it says things like

352
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 4: work out clean.

353
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 3: It says things like this is my planner and I

354
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 3: can show you for example, we like this.

355
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: It says work out.

356
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: Oh wow, and did you do it? Did you work out?

357
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 5: No?

358
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 3: I leave my bed and I watched tiktoks for two hours,

359
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 3: and then I said, what do I need to clean. Okay,

360
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: I need to clean my bedroom. And then I scrubbed

361
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 3: my sink.

362
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 4: Not bad while listening to my podcast. Not bad, but

363
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 4: not the assignment.

364
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: Not the assignment. But shoot for the moon sort of situation.

365
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 3: And you will sort of and you will sort of

366
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 3: you will shoot for the moon and then we'll have

367
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: a gun hole in it.

368
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: Shoot for the moon, and you will scrub your sink,

369
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: discover your sink.

370
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 3: Discover your sink will real bright and shiny. Then maybe

371
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 3: I then maybe I do. I try to do some writing.

372
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 3: I try to do some reading. Forgot how to read,

373
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 3: so learning how to.

374
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: Do that again.

375
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: Reading has gotten harder and harder for me in the

376
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: last like six months. Every day seems harder.

377
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: I found one book that I like that I really like.

378
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 3: It is a book by George Saunders.

379
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: Oh, an excellent author. Which one are you reading.

380
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 4: It's called A Swim in the Pond in the Rain? Oh?

381
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: Wait, is this about? It's kind of writing advice.

382
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like it's like he takes you through these

383
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: Russian short stories and then he talks about the short

384
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: stories and he does these sort of exercises. And I've

385
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: always had real trouble with Russian literature, Like I, even

386
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: when I loved to read, like in high school, I've

387
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 3: always just had I just.

388
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 4: Found Russian literature so hard and so boring.

389
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 3: And would always feel like kind of stupid because I

390
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: was like, I like, this is too many words, right,

391
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 3: it's dense, this is just just simply too dnse and

392
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 3: it's thank you. And kind of breaking them down into

393
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 3: short stories has been nice, and he does. He just

394
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 3: makes them kind of engaging and sometimes will be like,

395
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: actually the story is boring, and if you had a

396
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 3: hard time reading it, you might be right, So why

397
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 3: do we think it's boring?

398
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 4: And like that is like is fun?

399
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: Like it feels like sure, like the English teacher, like

400
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: the English student teacher, who's like, all right, the teacher's.

401
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 4: Gone, let's talk about it. I'm closer in age to you,

402
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 4: even though you still think of me as an adult.

403
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 4: I'm actually three years older than you. Let's chat.

404
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: Will you tell say the title of it again? Because

405
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: I feel like listeners, this happens anytime a book gets

406
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: mentioned on this there's a million questions. What's the title.

407
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 2: Let's make it very clear. It's George Saunders and the

408
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: title is what again.

409
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: A swim in a pond in the rain? All right,

410
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 3: swim in a pond in the rain. I'll say this.

411
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: This is the first time that I've gotten it right.

412
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 3: And you know the reason I got it right.

413
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 4: It's right in front of me. Every time I try

414
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: to remember the name of this book.

415
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: Oh it's on, I want to walk in the dark

416
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 3: and the funnel, I jump a leap in the woods

417
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: over a lake, and always get it wrong.

418
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 4: It's a swim in a pond in the rain.

419
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: That's a beautiful title.

420
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 3: I know, it's almost too beautiful. And listen, that's my note.

421
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm just freaking bought the book.

422
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 4: I'm reading it. That's not my problem. It is.

423
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 3: I wonder if there is a review where somebody's like,

424
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 3: I mean, the title's crazy.

425
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: I've gone really bad at remembering not only titles of

426
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: books I'm reading, but authors. But I think it's because

427
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 2: I read them on kindles and so kindles. I don't

428
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: have multiple kindles.

429
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 4: My thousands of kindles.

430
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: I have as many kindles as most people have books. No,

431
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: but I don't you know, you have a kindle and

432
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 2: you don't see the title or the author. Every time

433
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 2: you open the book. Right, So it's all.

434
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 4: Just kind of get that top right, top left, reminder, right.

435
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: I need that. I need that back in my.

436
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 4: Life, hardcover. It might be there was.

437
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: A period where I was moving around, you know. No,

438
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: I moved to New York and I moved back to

439
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 2: LA and I was like, I can't have this many

440
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: books in my life. Until I'm settled, I can't have books.

441
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: So now that I'm in a house, maybe I maybe

442
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: I start buying one book at a time and get

443
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: back to that.

444
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 3: I've got tens of books that are stuck in New

445
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 3: York in a storage unit because they were too heavy

446
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 3: to move across the country.

447
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: Right.

448
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 3: But then, you know, post my move, I've been meeting

449
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: more people, more writers, more movers and shakers, more comedians

450
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 3: who got a book, dal episode out of a book.

451
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: And I have more.

452
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 4: But they're my friends.

453
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 3: But I have now more books in my house than

454
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 3: I did before I moved. Even I was like, I'm like,

455
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: I can't I can't move now. I guess I'm stuck

456
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: in this apartment that I don't trunk.

457
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 4: The void.

458
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've are in.

459
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 4: Spinny Spinny Void.

460
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: For the listener, I was in kind of just a

461
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: white void right now. She's also wearing a white sweatshirt

462
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: and a white hat. So it's like it's kind of

463
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 2: like the Willy Wonka when they shrink everyone into tiny

464
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: little people? Do you remember that? Have you seen Willy Wonka?

465
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 4: I have seen Wily Wonka? I don't.

466
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: There's a moment when they have like a like you've

467
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: seen the seventies one? Yeah, don't you remember they have

468
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: like a laser ray that shrinks everyone down into tiny

469
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: little people. Huh yoh, yeah, I'm telling you this happens.

470
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 4: This is crazy.

471
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: It's crazy a laser It sounds like you haven't seen

472
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 2: a movie.

473
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 4: It sounds like I've seen a movie.

474
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 2: I haven't seen this movie.

475
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 4: I shrunk the kids?

476
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 2: That does happened in that? Do they use a laser

477
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 2: beam in that one as well to shrink the kid? Yeah?

478
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: I feel like we have too many laser beams shrinking

479
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: kids in movies.

480
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 4: It's so true. It's so true, and it needs to

481
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 4: be said. Do you think it's all the kids?

482
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 2: Uh?

483
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 4: In Willy Wonka?

484
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: I think it's just Mike TV and maybe his mom.

485
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: Well you said the kids, Well.

486
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 3: Look okay, so wait a minute, No, let's talk about it.

487
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 2: So you're turning it around on me.

488
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 3: Now we almost gas lit, which is the scariest thing

489
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 3: you could do to somebody on a podcast.

490
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: Well, that's what this podcast is built on. I send

491
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: the guest off just thinking, what is my view of

492
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: the world? Is reality what I thought it was? That's

493
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: my goal with you right now? Using Willy Wonka.

494
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 4: Well, thank you.

495
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Mike TV gets shrunken by a laser

496
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: beam or something, or it's supposed to be the technology

497
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: that sent Okay, now, I actually this is what happens.

498
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: The laser beam, I think is supposed to send the

499
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: chocolate it into a TV, and Mike TV gets sent

500
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: into a TV, which by nature shrinks him into a

501
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: tiny little person.

502
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 4: Does that sound right? You? Really? I don't know. You

503
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 4: take this one around the world.

504
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: The Willy Wonka fans, and there are thousands of them

505
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: listening to this podcast, are shrieking right now. They're furious

506
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 2: at both of our ignorance.

507
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: Turns into a blue bearry No, no, no, no, no.

00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: Pilot Bulregard turns into a blueberry.

510
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 2: Yes, Baruka. What happens to Varuka.

511
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 4: Goes down like a big hole.

512
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: Does she with the golden goose, She like falls down

513
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: the shaft or whatever, shrieking. Augustu's glup falls into the river.

514
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 4: Yes, my TV goes into the TV.

515
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: Comes into the TV.

516
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 4: I think you are right. I think you are right.

517
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: It's nice to feel right about this sort of thing.

518
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 4: What you started wrong.

519
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 2: I will say, Well, that's how you know, that's how

520
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: we learn. We start from a place of being totally incorrect,

521
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 2: and then we go on a podcast and the guest

522
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: kind of looks into it, and then we learn that's

523
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: Augustus Loop.

524
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 4: I think has the hardest song. He has a song

525
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 4: like it goes the hardest.

526
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 2: I don't remember it.

527
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: Augustus Gloop, Augustus Gloop, great big greedy Minkham poop.

528
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 4: Lyrics like that anymore, you know what I mean. No,

529
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 4: that's hateful.

530
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 3: It's it's just I think it's really good lyric writing.

531
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: It's on the level of their they're creepy and their Kookie,

532
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: the serious and.

533
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 4: Spooky Adams family. They're all together.

534
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: OOKI oh, I didn't realize that there was a third like,

535
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: I think that's.

536
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: What I think, that's what the lyric is there's something

537
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: that's there's lyrics in that where I'm like, these are

538
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 3: crazy lyrics.

539
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 4: God, God bless them.

540
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 2: That's a lyric you have to unpack.

541
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 3: And and then and then their house is a museum

542
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 3: where people come to see them.

543
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 4: There really are a Scoreum you know what I mean.

544
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 4: It's like you don't get lyrics like that anymore.

545
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 2: You certainly don't. Those are you know, those are old

546
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: folk songs.

547
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 4: Let's bring them back.

548
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 2: Let's bring them back in our movie, in our movie,

549
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 2: our our musical friend, romantic comedy that.

550
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 3: Is a little bit art house, but will ultimately dive,

551
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 3: you know, evolve into a DC usual.

552
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: The same way that whatever that thing was called evolved.

553
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: It's not the Avengers, it's Batman and Superman. I don't know,

554
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: I don't want, we can't. We cannot circle back to

555
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: Zack Snyder. I have something more important to talk about

556
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: with you.

557
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 4: Tell me, tell me.

558
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: Look, you agreed to be on this podcast a few

559
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 2: weeks ago, and I was so excited. I thought, here's

560
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: my chance to catch up with IOH. We haven't been

561
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: able to run into these walks where neither of us

562
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: knows if the other one is stalking the other This

563
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 2: will be my chance to just have a nice chat

564
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: with her, and I was looking forward to it. I

565
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: was having, you know, just daydreaming about a little zoom

566
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 2: with a friend. And then the other night I opened

567
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: my front door and lo and behold, there's a mysterious

568
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 2: black tube lying on my porch. So many thoughts race

569
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 2: through my mind. You know, is it a pipe bomb?

570
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: Is it a some sort of weapon? I don't know

571
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 2: what's lying here, right, so I pick it up again.

572
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 4: Never said a pipe bomb, Just like heads up your story.

573
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: That remains to be seen, that remains to be seen.

574
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 2: I'm just going to confront you right now. Is this

575
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 2: a gift for me? I? Yeah, okay, so the podcast

576
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: is called I said no gifts. And so now we're

577
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: sitting here with a problem.

578
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 4: Well, this is the thing that I was talking about,

579
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: sort of about being gas lit. I was just saying earlier.

580
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if you remember that. I don't.

581
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: I actually don't remember that, and I feel like you're

582
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: making things up again.

583
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 3: Okay, well, definitely you You did see something about your

584
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 3: memory being bad, so I just will confirm that.

585
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 4: Oh interesting, you also not remember that part.

586
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 2: I don't remember, I don't have a single memory of

587
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: that ever happening.

588
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 4: What is a memory that you have? Because now I'm

589
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 4: just concerned.

590
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 2: Well, I can tell you what I'm currently looking at.

591
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

592
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 4: No, that's not a memory. That's something that you're seeing

593
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 4: right now. That's not a memory.

594
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: Everything up until this moment, I feel like I just

595
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: keep I'm alive. I'm alive.

596
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 4: Okay, I've decided not to be worried anymore. Actually, so

597
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 4: I'm over it if you are well.

598
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: All that aside, I mean, do you want me to

599
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 2: open this mysterious black tube?

600
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I would like you to me that you're

601
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 3: interested in it.

602

Speaker 2: You know, I'm happy to I've got I've got a

603
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 2: few minutes, and I'm I could open this. It's as

604
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: I said, it's about foot and a half long. I

605
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: didn't say that, but now I'm saying it.

606
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 4: People remember something you remember, not say my memory.

607
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: Is coming back to me. This is a memento style.

608
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 4: Thank God for that.

609
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 2: It's good to be here in the safety of a friend.

610
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna this looks like it's hard to open.

611
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: It's got tape. Let's open it near the mic. This

612
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: this might be the hardest gift yet to open because you.

613
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 4: Don't even have some sort of like utility. Yeah, I didn't.

614
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: That's my failing as a host. This could take hours. Oh,

615
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: got the end of the tape.

616
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 4: Here you go. It's actually wrapped, so I did not.

617
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 4: I did not expect it to be wrapped this way

618
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 4: at all. Oh my god, I'm so anxious.

619
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a chance that snake pops out of here.

620
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

621
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: There's no te telling what to do in this too. I

622
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: actually have no idea how.

623
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 4: To open this. You've sent me a puzzle.

624
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 2: I'm just going to keep on wrapping this tape. I'm

625
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: fine with that, I can. Oh, something smells the tape horrible.

626
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: Is there some sort of dead you know, creature.

627
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 3: It's alf that you were going to explain me.

628
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: It's funny to me that it's stinky. It's so hard.

629
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: This is absolutely I don't understand. There's like a book

630
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: at the top. This is by far the longest unpacking

631
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: of a gift on this show yet.

632
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 3: Oh no, oh my god, pinched.

633
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go.

634
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 4: Now we're Oh, look at this, this.

635
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: Is like what is.

636
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 3: The black tube? Revealed that it's not like a tube

637
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: of the cat. There's a tube inside the tube, and

638
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 3: by lifting up what we thought was the cap, a

639
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 3: whole tube came out from inside the tube. If that's

640
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: not a good explanation. And the tube that came with

641
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 3: it was ribbed.

642
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 2: Also, yes, very odd. This is Indiana Jones style. Okay,

643
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: so there's I've opened. There's like a an envelope in here. Yeah, okay,

644
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:28,840

Speaker 4: Yeah? I got There's something.

646
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: Else in the bottom I haven't looked at I have heted.

647
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 4: Get that yet?

648
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so I'm gonna open this envelope. Well,

649
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: here it is from Iota Bridgers. What this says? And

650
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: Alwa says, this is exactly what you wanted. I am

651
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: glad it took us over a year to get here.

Speaker 2: and one dus Christmas. What did you did? You hire

658
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: a robot army to type this for.

659
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: And the option to include a message and they gave

660
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 3: a sample message, so I I will combined my message

661
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: and the sample message, and I won't say which is which?

662
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: Impossible to tell. Okay, now there's something else that I'm

663
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: reaching for. This is almost Indiana Jones level, because now

664
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: there's some sort of scroll here or something well that

665
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna open. This is like on a fabric. I

666
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: don't want to damage it. This is the most mysterious

667
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 2: gift I've ever received.

668
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 4: Well, that's an honor. This tape.

669
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: This, I mean, whoever is running this company that you've

670
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: sent this from has gone too far.

671
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 4: They've made it and they must be stopped.

672
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 2: They must be stopped. This podcast will be the end

673
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: of them. Let's see here. The tape is too much

674
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: for my poor little arms. Why didn't I bring a

675
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: scissor to the podcast? I might have to go get one.

676
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 2: Should I use my teeth?

677
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: No?

678
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: No, I just think.

679
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 4: I've given them. Given the time we live in, Oh

680
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 4: maybe I can. A year ago, I would have said, absolutely,

681
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 4: use you to go for it.

682
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, I mean, I mean the listeners.

683
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 4: Nice you.

684
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 2: I don't have anything. I'm in my office and.

685
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 4: Oh I thought you were in the kitchen.

686
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: No, I mean there's a little kitchenette, but there's I

687
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: don't use it.

688
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 4: I'm going to use my teeth.

689
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: I don't care.

690
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 4: That's fine. You can tell everybody use.

691
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: Scissors, rodentsk Okay, here we go. I've gotten through the tape, I've.

692
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 4: Gotten the so nervous, I've never been to whatever smelling.

693
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go.

694
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 4: What is this? This is a painting on a scroll?

695
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 2: What is who is this?

696
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 4: It's me as a child?

697
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: This is you? This is adorable. You're a little business one.

698
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 2: This painting of you looks like you're about forty six. Yes,

699
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 2: is true to life?

700
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: And I could Yes, it is, And I can find

701
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 3: the picture and send you the original picture.

702
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 4: This is so sweet. It is an oil of me.

703
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 2: How old are you in the picture?

704
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 4: I'm about seven or eight?

705
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 3: And we had a school assignment to dress up as

706
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: a historical figure.

707
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 4: You could pick any historical figure, and I picked Martin

708
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 4: Luther King Junior.

709
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 3: Oh, and so I wore glasses in a suit.

710
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: The suit looks I mean, obviously this is a painting,

711
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 2: so it may not be as true to life as

712
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: I know, but the suit looks like it's about eight

713
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 2: times your size.

714
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 3: It is my father's suit jacket, and I will say

715
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 3: I was an underweight child and he was an overweight man.

716
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: Did you wear his pants?

717
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 4: I wore my.

718
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 3: Own pants, but it's his suit jacket, his shirt and

719
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 3: his tie.

720
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 2: Wait, tell me again, how old you were in this?

721
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 4: Seven or eight?

722
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 3: I do look as I think the direct quote is

723
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 3: almost forty seven?

724
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 4: Is that the quote?

725
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 2: You look like a forty seven year old who's running

726
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 2: like a company that's probably going to go out of business.

727
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 4: I was very tired.

728
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you look very tired, and just like, why am

729
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 2: I here?

730
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 4: Yeah?

731
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 2: Now, wait, who took the original photo? Did they have you? Like?

732
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 4: Maybe my teacher at the time, And so that's how

733
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 4: we got here. I guess. Can I tell you the journey?

734
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: I want to know it.

735
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 3: So my desktop is very messy, and I'm talking about

736
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 3: like hundreds of screenshots just in various moments of my

737
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: life and files and pictures, and not all of them.

738
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: I haven't renamed all of them. And so I had

739
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 3: a picture of you, a picture of me, a picture

740
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 3: of you that I screenshot from your Instagram.

741
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 4: Okay, and I guess it just got lost in the

742
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 4: in the fracas. Is that what that's called? Well? There

743
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 4: was a fractice that it got lost in it.

744
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 3: And I realized by the time that I had submitted

745
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 3: this photo that I had submitted a picture of myself

746
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 3: as a young child instead of this picture of you

747
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 3: holding a gift from your from your podcast as an

748
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 3: oil painting. And then by the time that I basically

749
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 3: was able to make an edit, I thought, no, actually.

750
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 4: This is really funny.

751
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: This was divine intervention.

752
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

753
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 3: Yes, there is a god and he's given you your

754
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 3: your memory back, and he's also made this happen.

755
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't need any more pictures of myself, but

756
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 2: a picture of eight year old I, oh, I'm in

757
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: her deance suit. It's a very casual MLK because your

758
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 2: tie is kind of a loose.

759
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 4: It's very loose.

760
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean no element of this, uh, it just

761
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: I would not say historical figure in any way.

762
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 4: No.

763
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 3: Also, like wearing glasses, which again Harley jun I don't think, yeah, famously.

764
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 4: Is not where glasses.

765
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: Also, the glasses in this picture, I don't know, they

766
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 2: look like they don't have Uh what is this part

767
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 2: of the arm of the glass.

768
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, So you get to make edits to the photo.

769
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 3: And when the artists first drew them. The glasses were

770
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 3: even crazier. Really, yeah, they even they like one was

771
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: square and one was round, And I was like, I

772
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 3: can both of these please maybe be.

773
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 4: The same shape even, And so we got closer.

774
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 2: Wait, so the company that you used, like you send

775
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: them a picture and then the artist you kind of

776
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 2: and they match.

777
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 4: You with an artist who makes an oil painting.

778
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: And then you give notes.

779
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 4: You can give notes, that's incredible. You can pick background color,

780
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 4: you can you can do a lot of stuff.

781
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 2: How long is the process?

782
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 4: Like three weeks?

783
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 2: Wow, that's amazing. It's odd to me because it feels

784
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: like whoever painted it like is obviously a decent painter,

785
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 2: I mean, at least better than someone who would paint

786
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 2: glasses of one circle one square. Well, it feels like

787
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: a real rudimentary mistake.

788
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,479
Speaker 3: In my initial note, I did think I said something

789
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 3: also that was like, you know, like have fun something.

790
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 4: And I did. Also I asked for more.

791
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,160

00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: Can we when this, eventually, this episode comes out, can

802
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 4: As absolutely?

803
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: People, this photo's Oh so this is sort of this

804
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: is a far different thing than what the painting ended

805
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 2: up in.

806
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 3: He really is crazy and I wanted the hands, you know,

807
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 3: I wanted, but you know, he made his own artistic choices, right,

808
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: it is what it is.

809
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 2: But he well, he may not be able to paint.

810
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: You know. One of these photos, your arms are kind

811
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 2: of at an angle, and maybe he hasn't mastered that

812
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 2: part of painting yet as well.

813
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a very specific pose.

814
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: But in these photos, you do not look like a

815
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 2: middle aged woman. You look like a cute little girl child. Yeah,

816
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: and your your even your suit coat looks kind of

817
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 2: appropriately sized in the painting. It it's clear that it's

818
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 2: your father's jacket. So that's an interesting the artist had

819
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 2: that insight kind of exaggerate the suit and give you

820
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 2: some nice broad shoulders.

821
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 3: Uh huh, I mean my neck really small and sort

822
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 3: of Yeah, but anyway, that's what I got you.

823
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 2: No, in this other photo, I'm seeing like a white

824
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 2: wig somebody's wearing. Who do you recall who? That was?

825
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 3: My friend whose name is liamn. She was my best

826
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 3: friend at the time. Then the next year she moved

827
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 3: to the Cape. Oh, her family and he would play

828
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 3: video games online with each other. Oh, and then that

829
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 3: sort of and then that sort of stopped.

830
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 2: And what was she dressed?

831
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 4: As she was dressed, I think as Albert Einstein.

832
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: Albert Einstein. Okay, these miss Jefferson. When you get a

833
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 2: white wig on, you can be about sixty percent of

834
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: people from a history book.

835
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: You can be Albert Einstein, or you can be Tomas Jefferson.

836
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 3: I don't make the rules.

837
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 2: You can be any sort of wizard whatever you like. Well,

838
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: have you ordered a painting like this before for yourself?

839
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 3: This was my first time, and I felt sort of

840
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 3: moved to have that be, you know, lost to you.

841
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: I guess I would say toe in the water for you.

842
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 2: I feel like now you're going to become addicted to it.

843
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 4: It is a really funny present.

844
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: It's an extremely funny present.

845
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 4: Cattivating oil painting of you.

846
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: As a child. I've got to get this frame. It's wonderful.

847
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had options to get a frame, but it

848
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 4: would have taken longer.

849
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 2: Right, the same artists would have had to build the frame,

850
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 2: and then you would have had to know.

851
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: Notes giving process, and we all know how well he

852
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 3: responds to notes.

853
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 2: So you two are no longer on speaking terms creative differences.

854
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 4: He was my best friend after you. This is incredible.

855
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: What should I do with it? Should I put it

856
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: in my office? Should I hang in my home?

857
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 3: I think, however you feel comfortable, you know, whatever comfortable

858
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 3: with Well, look I think it's put it in your

859
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 3: bedroom or whatever.

860
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 4: That's fine with me. That's why with me. So wherever

861
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 4: you want to.

862
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: Put it, Yeah, I need when someone gives you a

863
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 2: photo of themselves, I feel like you need their permission

864
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 2: where to hang in your home? Because you know, you

865
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 2: come over for one of my outrageous parties that I'm

866
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: so famous for holding, and then suddenly you know your

867
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 2: painting is hanging in the bathroom. Things get just a

868
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 2: little uncomfortable.

869
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 3: People have questions, for sure, I think, don't put it

870
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 3: in the bathroom, okay, unless then your bathroom becomes a

871
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 3: space where you hang jokes. And I've been in the

872
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 3: bathroom like that before. I have, and it was a

873
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 3: fun and nice bathroom. But you know, I think, as

874
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 3: long as it isn't like rolled up in a closet,

875
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 3: because I will be coming over to.

876
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 2: Your house, I'm going to get it framed. I've gotten

877
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 2: I've finally gained the strength in the last like literally

878
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 2: a week to put things in frames and hang them.

879
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 2: It was a big step for me.

880
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 4: It is a huge step.

881
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 3: And then you you're like, well, now my house is

882
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 3: officially a home. And I also can't move because it

883
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 3: took so much effort saying this after framing it, and

884
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 3: I mean including the effort that I took to frame it.

885
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 2: Right, So once that's hung up, I'm just I guess

886
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 2: I'm here permanently, and what can you say about that?

887
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, if you have other you know,

888
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 3: gag gifts, the jobs or friends in the office above

889
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 3: the fireplace, if you have a door, a door, a

890
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 3: closet door for coach, you can put it inside the

891
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 3: closet door for codes.

892
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 2: To hang a picture in a closet that that feels

893
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 2: like a real insult.

894
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 3: I actually had a poster that I hung in the

895
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,439
Speaker 3: closet but it was it wasn't it was like.

896
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 4: It gave me joy. It was almost the poster.

897
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 3: The poster was a gift my friend gave me for

898
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 3: my birthday. That was a poster that she made that

899
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 3: was a photo of Michael Painia and it said the

900
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 3: hardest working man in shopis.

901
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 2: That's great height he might.

902
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 3: Be because we really were like, wait to see the

903
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 3: hardest working man in shopiz. And that was a gift

904
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 3: that she gave me one for my birthday. And I

905
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 3: was like, this is so touching. Every time I open

906
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 3: my closet, I'll remember.

907
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 2: Are you a big gift giving person?

908
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 4: I do like the gift gifts? Yeah?

00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: Do you have any memorable gifts you can think of

910
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: that you've given?

911

927
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: when somebody is hired to clean a house, they just

928
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 2: do a better job.

929
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, they will always do a better job than

Speaker 2: It's time to put I think today we haven't played

00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 2: curse or actually I want to give you. I feel

937
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 2: like I should give the guests the option. That's nice,

938
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 2: only nice enough. We can play a game called gift

939
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: or a Curse or a game called gift Master.

940
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:57,920

Speaker 2: smear an anime, you can apologize to your mom, do

950
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 2: whatever you want. I'll be right back. Okay, Hi, it's Bridger.

951
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to interrupt the podcast right now. This is

952
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 2: a little unusual, but look, this is the time of

953
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 2: the show. When the guest gets to promote something, recommend something.

954
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 2: I try to give them as much free reign as possible.

955
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 2: And I did that with Io. And what Io chose

956
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 2: to do was sing the entire Adams Family theme song,

957
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 2: which was beautiful. Her voice sounded wonderful. That said, it's

958
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 2: a copyright issue. It's a legal issue. If we release

959
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 2: the podcast with her singing the Adams Family, people are

960
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 2: gonna sue me into oblivion. I can't deal with that

961
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 2: streng us right now. So we're cutting it out. And

962
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 2: you know, it's just lost a history, big deal.

963
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

964
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 2: And while you're here, you know, why don't I tell

965
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 2: you to go review this podcast. I can promote something,

966
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 2: I'll recommend something. I said, no gifts, there you go,

967
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 2: I go buy some merch on the internet. You can

968
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 2: do that. These are all things that I'm doing now.

969
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: I'm in control of this little segment and it's very exciting.

970
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 2: It's exhilarating to be the recommender, the promoter here. All

971
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 2: that said, it's time to get back to the podcast.

972
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: And here we go. I'm cutting, I've powered through. What

973
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 2: do you mean, I've got the game pieces.

974
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 4: I mean it's the best lyric yet.

975
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 2: This is going to be a rights clearance issue.

976
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 3: I don't even know if you can post that's fine.

977
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't be sued by the Adams estate.

978
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 2: My trouble.

979
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,720
Speaker 4: They love all their money to lawyers.

980
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 2: This is how gift you a curse works. I'm going

981
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 2: to name three things you're gonna tell me if there

982
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 2: are a gift to a curse and why. Now, the

983
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 2: one thing you have to be very careful with here

984
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 2: is that there are correct answers. You know, so you

985
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 2: can lose this game most of but I mean not

986
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 2: most people lose. Let's just play the game. I don't

987
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 2: want to scare you too much.

988
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 3: You interrupted me in song, and I'm most emotionally open,

989
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 3: frankly to.

990
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 4: Then tell me the opportunity for me to lose as just.

991
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 2: Well, dry your tears and get ready to play. First up,

992
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: gift you a curse and you have to tell me why.

993
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 2: This is from a listener named Nella.

994
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 4: Really quickly. Do you get half points?

995
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 2: You don't get half points? What are you talking about?

996
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 4: If you get?

997
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 3: If you get, maybe you get the answer if it

998
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 3: is a gift a curse?

999
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 4: Right when you get the reason wrong?

1000
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 2: No, I'll support you emotionally, but I'm not giving you

1001
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 2: the points.

1002
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god, don't sound my emotional support. Let's listen

1003
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 3: to Nella.

1004
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 2: Nella wants to know gift or a curse? Quotes in

1005
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 2: email signatures gift a curse.

1006
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 4: That's a curse.

1007
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 2: Why that's a curse?

1008
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 3: Because I the email is already such an emotional labor,

1009
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 3: so rarely is an email a gift. I want to

1010
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 3: keep the email short. I want to keep the email sweet.

1011
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 3: You're telling me I have to read a line of poetry.

1012
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 3: There's thought and I clicked more as it's a dang line.

1013
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 4: From the poem. Curse alright, inside joke, even worse.

1014
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 2: Curse, I owe, you're off to a horrible start. Quote

1015
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 2: in email signatures I think are absolutely a gift. Look

1016
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: would I ever in a million years use one?

1017
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 4: No?

1018
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 2: But I love to see a little quote in some

1019
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 2: horrible font, a song, lyric, a poem. You know, I

1020
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 2: think it's very sweet and a very earnest thing that

1021
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 2: most people in my life do not do. But when

1022
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 2: I see that, I think somebody is not has not

1023
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 2: It's it's almost old fashioned at this point. Yes, and

1024
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 2: so to me and to the world. The objective truth

1025
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 2: here is they are a gift. Okay, so you've you know,

1026
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 2: you've started by just totally falling on your face. That's okay,

1027
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 2: Let's go to number two. This is another listener suggestion.

1028
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 2: Someone named Graham has suggested real estate apps gift or

1029
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 2: a curse. You know your Zillow's, your red Fins, your

1030
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 2: I don't have another to name.

1031
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 4: This is tricky because I can see both sides of

1032
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 4: the coin. Right.

1033
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 3: There's the ease and streamlined nature of the real estate

1034
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 3: app that can make real estate easy for those who

1035
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 3: are not well versed in either the state or the

1036
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 3: reality of how the estate is doing.

1037
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 2: Right.

1038
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 3: However, there is such a charm right to walking by

1039
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 3: a house and seeing a sign with a person's face

1040
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:29,320
Speaker 3: on it, smiling, arms folded, saying here, I am safe, secure,

1041
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 3: here's my number.

1042
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,479
Speaker 4: Call me. Let's go over this with each other.

1043
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 3: And because of that, that intimacy, I am going to say,

1044
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 3: the apps are a cursed Tell me I'm wrong.

1045
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 4: I owe.

1046
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you you're wrong. I can't believe

1047
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 2: what's happening here. You are just as shameful shameful performance.

1048
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 4: It's crazy.

1049
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 5: As a gift. This is the They're very fun to scroll.

1050
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 5: Last night I was scrolling. I'm not looking to buy

1051
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 5: a house, but I was looking just around. I found

1052
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 5: a forty million dollar house somewhere in Silver. There's no

1053
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 5: take backs. You can you can chat, you can learn,

1054
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 5: but you're not getting the point this.

1055
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it's brutal.

1056
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: I love to look at a real estate app.

1057
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 4: Yes, it's fun though.

1058
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 2: Okay, well then it's a gift. Learn your lesson. You're

1059
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,439
Speaker 2: still zero zero. I mean, here's the next one. Let's

1060
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: just give it a shot. I don't. I mean, I

1061
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 2: don't have high hopes for you. But this is not

1062
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 2: a listener's suggestion. This is from my own little brain.

1063
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 2: Gift your a curse, eg, gift your a curse. Eros

1064
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 2: the food eros are you familiar?

1065
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 4: I'm familiar.

1066
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 3: I lived in New York when I was in school.

1067
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 3: I would get one when I was done with my

1068
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 3: classes late at night on the rush. Get a little

1069
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 3: white sauce, brown sauce. It'd be a hint of red

1070
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 3: and they'd be like, are you sure, and I'd be

1071
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 3: like yeah, and I'd be like, too hot. But I'm

1072
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 3: happy lettuce tomato a sort of meats. As a former vegetarian,

1073
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 3: I must say again, I ow, we.

1074
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,399
Speaker 2: Are coming together on this one. I'm so happy to hear.

1075
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 4: I think Euros are one.

1076
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 2: Of our best sandwiches. The Greeks really knocked it out

1077
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 2: of the park with the ero. I mean, the curse

1078
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 2: s element for me is that they're very hard to

1079
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: find in Los Angeles. A good ero. But as a

1080
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 2: food maybe in my top I'm going to just go

1081
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 2: and go ahead and say top five favorite things to eat.

1082
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: I love a pita, I love the white sauce. Everything

1083
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 2: about it is delicious. And I don't I mean, I

1084
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 2: don't know anyone that doesn't like a hero. That's all

1085
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 2: I have to say. You've got one out of three,

1086
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 2: and thank god it was Euros, because if you had

1087
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 2: said curse, I.

1088
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 3: Mean, then I just would have. I just you wouldn't

1089
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 3: be we wouldn't be well, it'd be good that you moved.

1090
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 2: It would have been because every time we ran into

1091
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 2: each other would have been a giant confrontation, screaming match,

1092
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 2: really really nasty in that sleepy little neighborhood. Two people

1093
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 2: just screaming their heads off at each other. It would

1094
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 2: not have been good. Well, you got one out of three.

1095
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 4: I know both you and I can.

1096
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 2: We've got diaphragms, we have got lungs to just belt

1097
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 2: our anger at each other.

1098
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 4: So let's give me. It's one out.

1099
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 2: I had a listener right in to chastise me because

1100
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 2: I've apparently several episodes, I've said that no one has

1101
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 2: ever gotten three out of three on this game, and

1102
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 2: apparently somebody has, and this does go to my memory

1103
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 2: not working. Apparently Naomi ek Paragon did get three out

1104
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 2: of three, and I want to apologize to everyone and

1105
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 2: to Naomi. I'm gonna just do this publicly right now.

1106
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 2: She got three out of three, apparently, and she deserves

1107
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 2: that credit.

1108
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 4: So I don't want to speak for her. But it's too late.

1109
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 2: I feel well, it's too late for me certainly.

1110
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like you've done some damage, I've done a

1111
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 3: lot of damage, I would say to whom, but I

1112
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 3: just don't say that you've done some really serious damage.

1113
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 4: And that's not my dog.

1114
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 2: If you heard that dog, Oh do you have a dog.

1115
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 4: I do have a dog.

1116
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 2: Your dog is making noises.

1117
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 4: That was not It was not your dog. It was

1118
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 4: the neighbor's dog.

1119
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 2: A neighbor dog.

1120
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 4: This is I'm this is what I mean.

1121
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 3: I feel fine, but there might be some people who

1122
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 3: who remember.

1123
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 2: Okay, right right, we have to answer some listener questions.

1124
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,439
Speaker 2: This is called I said no emails. People write into

1126
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 2: Will you just help me for a few more minutes

1127
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 2: and we'll move on with our lives.

1128
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yes, would love to move on.

1129
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 2: All right. That makes two of us. I, oh, this.

00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 4: Is hello, bridge to have a good time, So.

1131
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 2: Did I and I will. I'm walking away broken hearted.

1132
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 2: It makes me sick to my This.

1133
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 4: Isn't this isn't us, this isn't who we are. It's them, boyfriend.

1134
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 2: I don't know what to say to anyone the listeners

1135
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 2: getting dragged through our dirty laundry. And this look, this

1136
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 2: one says this was an urgent email this person wrote

1137
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 2: to me. I guess at the beginning of the pandemic.

1138
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 2: I never got around to it. She's reached out again.

1139
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 2: She says, Hello, Bridger, a helpful guest, referring to you. IOH,

1140
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:30,240
Speaker 2: I may disagree. My brother is an adult. My brother

1141
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 2: is an adult child and will be turning forty one

1142
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 2: this month. He literally just moved out of my dad's

1143
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 2: house now over a year ago. Quote end quote, she

1144
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 2: says for the last time. So I'm told he does

1145
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 2: whatever he wants and purchases all kinds of ridiculous things,

1146
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 2: things like five hundred dollars cologne, cars, bikes, legal firearms,

1147
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,479
Speaker 2: a hot tub. Okay, I know a good gift would

1148
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 2: be real life advice for this kid. By the way,

1149
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 2: I'm four years younger. Okay, but confrontation is not his thing.

1150
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 2: What do I get him? And that's from Stephanie. Now,

1151
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 2: Stephanie has his brother who's buying guns and cologne and sounds,

1152
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:14,360
Speaker 2: I mean from this little email like an extremely dangerous person.

1153
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,479
Speaker 4: My brother is an adult child, as the scariest open

1154
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 4: into a femail.

1155
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 2: Or an excellent title for a TLC show.

1156
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 3: And honestly, this is an email that could have been

1157
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 3: couched in a quote to help sort of sue the drama.

1158
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 4: Right.

1159
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 2: If I hadn't gotten a nice little quote at the

1160
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 2: end there, I would have calmed both of us down.

1161
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 2: But we're dealing with Stephanie and her horrible brother. What

1162
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 2: does she get this person? I mean, I feel like

1163
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 2: Stephanie has made her choice. She wants, Look, you got

1164
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 2: a horrible adult child brother. Real advice. Confrontation's not the thing.

1165
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 2: What do I get him? Sounds like Stephanie hates this person?

1166
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, sounds like don't get him anything.

1167
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 2: I think that by not getting him anything, you're giving

1168
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 2: him a message that he needs to turn it around.

1169
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 4: I mean, or a bullet blender.

1170
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 2: That makes a nice little gift. That's kind of like,

1171
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 2: I don't really care about you and you, but you

1172
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 2: can use this item.

1173
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:20,919
Speaker 3: Right, good luck making smoothies and pestos right, figure out.

1174
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 2: To make a pesto. I'd love to make a pesto

1175
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 2: at home, Stephanie. I think that that is your one

1176
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 2: and only answer. Is the bullet blender. I think splurge

1177
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 2: for a used version, give him a splendor, and if.

1178
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 4: He wants to replace the blades, you can do that himself.

1179
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 2: That's yeah, I mean, this person, I am really gonna

1180
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 2: say this guy's out there in his hot tub holding

1181
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 2: his rifle or whatever, doesn't need a gift. So he

1182
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 2: seems like he's kind of living this bizarre fantasy. And

1183
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 2: I say, just avoid, avoid, avoid, That's all I'm.

1184
00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 5: Going to say.

1185
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 4: I fine to agree.

1186
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 2: We're going to answer one more question. I don't care

1187
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 2: what you say. This says, Hello, Bridger and guest. My

1210
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 4: I was just thinking, get get him a box set? Right,

1211
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 4: you get the box ray box set? Absolutely? Yeah, I

1212
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 4: think a Blu ray box set is nice.

1213
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 2: You maybe you match that up with a remote control

1214
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 2: car so he can kind of live out the Fast fantasy.

1215
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 3: What are the so mini Roku minis right adorable and

1216
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 3: a small one as well, so it's like not the full.

1217
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 2: Thing, right, you don't want to go full Roku for

1218
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 2: this guy.

1219
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 4: You got to stay under forty.

1220
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: Let's imagine there's a forty dollars budget.

1221
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 3: Because it's like fifty you know, the father of your child,

1222
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 3: you spend money. But I think we got to keep

1223
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 3: it under forty for platonics.

1224
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 4: Right.

1225
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 2: If you go over forty, suddenly you're sending new signals

1226
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 2: where you know, I watched Kramer Versus Kramer for the

1227
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 2: first time last night and it became very complicate.

1228
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 4: Hated, May do you get him crab Graver?

1229
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: Right?

1230
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 2: Do we imagine this Jay is kind of a Meryl

1231
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 2: Streep type yes, and she is reaching out to Dustin

1232
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 2: Hoffman and saying, look, still care about you. I'm sorry

1233
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,439
Speaker 2: I dragged you through court and tried to take the sun.

1234
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 2: Here's Fast five or whatever these things are called Fast

1235
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 2: and the Furious saga. Here's your remote control car, here's

1236
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 2: your Roku that maybe over forty dollars, pick one, find

1237
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 2: a coupon. Maybe I don't know.

1238
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think don't get him anything for working out,

1239
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 3: because then he'll say, oh, my body.

1240
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 4: That's that's the that's what that's what she wants.

1241
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 2: Right right. She wants me to get in even better

1242
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:45,919
Speaker 2: shape I was, and.

1243
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 3: That's how I'll win her heart back as I'm in

1244
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 3: the best possible shit And you don't.

1245
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 2: Want that, right Suddenly you've got this muscly ex husband

1246
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 2: who just you know, it's getting out of control and

1247
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 2: you're not attracted to him anymore.

1248
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 4: I have one more idea, let's hear it.

1249
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 3: You get something that isn't even really a gift for him.

1250
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:05,479
Speaker 3: It's a gift for the kid.

1251
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 4: Oh brilliant.

1252
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,640
