1
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself

2
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: perfectly clear. When you're a guest in my home, you

3
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guest,

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: your presences presents enough, and I already had too much stuff,

5
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: So how do you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: Welcome to? I said, no gifts. I'm bridgerd Weineger. We are,

7
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: of course in the backyard. What's going on? I mean,

8
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: that's one thing I can't stop thinking about is the

9
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: leftover soup I have in the fridge. I am dying

10
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: to eat it for dinner. I've been basically since I

11
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: woke up this morning. I've been thinking about it, and

12
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: I'm an hour, hour and a half away from reheating

13
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 2: the soup. I'm so and I this may it might

14
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: sound like I'm exaggerating, I'm Unfortunately, I'm not. This is

15
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: something I've been looking forward to. So that's what I have.

16
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: At the other end of this podcast, we got to

17
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: get through it. The guests today, I adore. It's Emily Heller. Hello, Emily,

18
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: Welcome to. I said, no gifts.

19
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, thank you for having me. What kind

20
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: of soup is that?

21
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: It's It's Tom yum. Oh soup, are you familiar?

22
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: I love tom Yum.

23
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 2: I think I've talked about it on this podcast before.

24
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: I was trying to get you know, a wave going

25
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: of people eating this soup. I don't know that I

26
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: had much of an impact.

27
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: Soup is so divisive, Like have you ever met someone

28
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: who's just like I don't eat soup in general?

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: People have take a real strong stance.

30
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: It's very weird.

31
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 4: But I will say I have been rewatching Seinfeld very often.

32
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 4: I mean not very often, but you know, occasionally when

33
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 4: I'm high, because we just been watching it before bed

34
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 4: and we watched the Soup Nazi episode and I was

35
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: so high and I was just like, all of that

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: soup sounds so good. I would kill for soup right now.

37
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 4: So when you were talking about that, I was like,

38
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: I totally get it. That needs no justification, thank you.

39
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: I have.

40
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 4: I feel like I watched that episode high a week ago,

41
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 4: and I haven't had really good soup since then. So

42
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: I feel like I have an itch that is still unscratched.

43
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: What kind of soups is he serving in the episode.

44
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: So there's a mullagatani, there's a crab bisk and I

45
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: know there's another one, but I can't remember.

46
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: See when you say crab bisk. Something I've realized about

47
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: soup for me personally recently is when seafood meets cream,

48
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: I can't get into it. Clam chowder a crab biss.

49
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: That's fair, and I don't eat seafood. I don't care.

50
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 4: I don't like it, and so for some reason, it's

51
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: all just theoretical crab bisk To me, it's all just

52
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: like make believe best tasting, Like there's no reality entering

53
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 4: into how much I want to eat the soup.

54
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: I mean, soup is in l a kind of hard

55
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: to come come by, Like it's kind of an afterthought

56
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: at every restaurant. I mean, I guess if you like,

57
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: if you wanted like a fire, yes, obviously Tomiam is

58
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: wonderful what you can get that.

59
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: A ti restaurant, got some good ramen places, yes, but

60
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: it's like outside of that, we don't have aside from like, yes, ethnically.

61
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: Specific soups, there's not like a soup restaurant.

62
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: It's never really no, no one's ever really like in

63
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 4: a soup mood here. But there also isn't like because

64
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: it's hot that's why. That's because it's hot, but it's

65
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: also we don't have like a big gaspacho culture either.

66
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: Right, and then that would explain that. Yeah. I mean

67
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: think I'm not a gaspacho eater in any weather, so

68
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be like hunting down the gaspat show buffet

69
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: or what have you. But I could go for like

70
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: a little soup chain. Well, we had soup plans.

71
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: He did have soup plantation, but they were they were

72
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: da right. You can't call your restaurants sup plantation. It's

73
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 4: crazy that that ever exists. It really sounds like a

74
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 4: fake TV show restaurant.

75
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: And for it lasted such a long time with a

76
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: bad name and as far as I could tell, questionable quality.

77
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: So what was drawing what.

78
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: Was drawing people in?

79
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: I feel like people went there for the buffet, But

80
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: I I'm really speaking out of my ass now because

81
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: I don't know a single person who's ever eaten there.

82
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 2: I do know one friend who had kind of an

83
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: odd uh. He knew everything about the place. He knew

84
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: a when the deals were happening.

85
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 4: Oh, he was on the mailing list and actually opened

86
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 4: the emails. He was the one person that the mail

87
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: Chimp was like, we got him.

88
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's never went, but I guess I'll never go.

89
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: I think they're completely gone, aren't they.

90
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: It really makes you think.

91
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: There are some chain restaurants you should visit before it's

92
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 4: two ways.

93
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, they could be gone before you know it,

94
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: and you'll live with regret.

95
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 3: What do you think is the next one that's going

96
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: to go down?

97
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: Oh? What is the next one? I mean, it's wild

98
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: to me that Sizzler's still around.

99
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, Sizzler doesn't shouldn't still be around.

100
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: And they're over there in Atwater Village, I believe for Glendale,

101
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: you know what, that.

102
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: Is the last restaurant I ate ut before the pandemic.

103
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 4: What I hate there for a podcast and it was

104
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: so disgusting, and it was also was like we knew

105
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: COVID was happening, and I was like, this feels.

106
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: Wronger than it even would have otherwise.

107
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: But I mean that was a good last day, I

108
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: mean because they could have gone away very easily.

109
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then and then I would have And you

110
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: know what, Sizzler does hold like a special place in

111
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: my heart because when I was a kid, for some reason,

112
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 4: my parents took us there kind of a lot. I

113
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 4: think it was the restaurant we went to the most often,

114
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: and I remember just really picking out on those.

115
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 3: Ham cubes from salad Bar. I really loved those.

116
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: We went to Siszler all the time. Well, it was

117
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: like a special occasion. I remember going for like a

118
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: birthday maybe in fifth grade, and they had like a

119
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: taco bar, but there was no meat, and so I

120
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: filled a taco with bacon bits, which is one of

121
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: the faulting things I can possibly imagine. Children are bad people.

122
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 4: Children are bad people. They shouldn't have access to a buffet.

123
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: No.

124
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 4: I was at Sizzler when I watched a kid pick

125
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 4: his nose and then reach his hand into the like

126
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 4: tray of chicken nuggets or something, and all of the

127
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 4: gears in my mind started shifting where I was like,

128
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 4: I think, everything that's at this kid's arm level, I

129
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 4: shouldn't eat, And that's everything that you tire so far.

130
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: They don't have like an area that you have to

131
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: you access by a ladder, so all child it was.

132
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: All child level.

133
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: This. Yeah, that was a bad moment. I wish I hadn't.

134
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: I hadn't seen.

135
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: Your last trip to Sizzler, Like what was your meal?

136
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: What did that look like? God?

137
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: What did I have?

138
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: Oh?

139
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: Man, I should remember this. I mean, this is why

140
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: you should be.

141
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: Journaling every day. I just had like a bunch of

142
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 4: random crap from the from the buffet.

143
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: Wasn't good?

144
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: I want I wanted to order one of the like meals.

145
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

146
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: You know that's the weird thing about sister. You kind

147
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: of order a meal and then you get the salad

148
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: bar with the meal. Yeah.

149
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 4: I think I maybe ordered like a pasta or something

150
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: and it was not it was Oh wait, No, I

151
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 4: had a grilled cheese.

152
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: Is this good?

153
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 3: Is this good radio?

154
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: This is excellent radio. This is award winning radio. A

155
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: grilled cheese outside of the buffet.

156
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: Yes.

157
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Because I think I was still thinking about that

158
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: kid picking.

159
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: His nose from when I was six years old.

160
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: I have to imagine the grilled cheese was okay. If

161
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: they made a bad grilled cheese, then the entire chain

162
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 2: should be pushed into the ocean.

163
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 3: It was fine.

164
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 4: It was like drenched in butter, like top to bottom,

165
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 4: just sort of like crystalline, you know what I mean.

166
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: It's like brock candy.

167
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: The entire all of the bread is like translucent from

168
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 4: the butter. I'm not complaining about it, but it did

169
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: turn it extra sort of like sharp, you know what

170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: I mean, like fried and sharp. And somehow the cheese

171
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: wasn't totally melted, so they did kind of screw it up.

172
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 4: That's what they should go down.

173
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: It's crazy that they didn't during the pandemic. They kind

174
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: of pivoted it into to a takeout business, which does

175
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: not make any sense to me.

176
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 4: Who is getting takeout from? I mean nothing, nothing makes

177
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 4: sense in this world. They must have somehow, just I

178
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 4: think maybe because they've been around so long, very low overhead, right,

179
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 4: you know, they've just had to do it submarket rent

180
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: on the or they own.

181
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: They may they have. They've probably moved out of the

182
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: leasing game. All of those Sissler restaurants are permanent Sissler locations.

183
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: What we really need is we need to get in

184
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: touch with the COO.

185
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: They have kind of a knowledge of the well, the

186
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: former Sissler COEO.

187
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: Because you are always dropping this name.

188
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: Look at this, Look at this. I'm about to show

189
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 2: Emily my desktop background.

190
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: Yes, and all your emails.

191
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: Now I've got all of my tabs open. How humiliating.

192
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: I'm exing out I'm exing out. I'm exing out of

193
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: outfit ideas. Oh god, what have I done?

194
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 4: Oh? Your desktop very upsetting. I just want to look

195
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 4: at this, listener, need to know that it is just,

196
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 4: you know, wall to wall. Every single square inch of

197
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: that's free has a an icon or a folder on it.

198
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: There is no unused.

199
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what's happened. Look at this. Oh it

200
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 2: is the former COO. This is my desktop wallpaper of Sisler,

201
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: And for legal reasons, I'm not entirely sure he's getting

202
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: in front of the soup. Yes, this is Kerry Cramp,

203
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 2: Gary Cramp, Carry Cramp, Carrie Cramp and he I can't

204
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: remember why he's no longer the Sizzler CEO. But this

205
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: has been my desk top wallpaper since maybe twenty thirteen. Wow,

206
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: I found this wall I can't even remember what I

207
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: was googling, but I somehow came upon that wallpaper and

208
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: it was like ultra HD. It's the like the highest

209
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: resolution image I had ever seen. You could like zoom

210
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: in and see individual pores on Carrie's face. So I

211
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: had to make it my wallpaper and it hasn't changed since.

212
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 3: But that's why you don't remember why you ended up

213
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: on his LinkedIn.

214
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: Or god knows why I was looking.

215
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: You're trying to poach him for your.

216
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: Restaurant, for my new concept, my new salad bar concept. Yeah, yeah,

217
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 2: so I do know a ladder. I actually want to

218
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: talk to you about two TV shows that you've I've

219
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: noticed you've been tweeting about. Okay, first, I feel like,

220
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: first we should talk about Bakeoff.

221
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, we should talk about Base.

222
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: I'm a few behind, Okay, I've only just recently watched

223
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: the Mexican episode.

224
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, that was a hate crime because a lot

225
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 4: of we all know about the Mexican episode at this point, right,

226
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 4: they called guacamole glackymolo. I got to it after all

227
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 4: of the you know, so you were bracing yourself. I

228
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 4: was bracing myself in the biggest possible way. Yeah, and

229
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 4: I mean, there are some insane things.

230
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: That happen, but it's not as it's not like it's.

231
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: Not what I expected, right, Yeah. I expected it to

232
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: be like, oh, they're gonna have to delete this, But

233
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: I got to it. I was like, well, let's talk.

234
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: Was look horrible, Like no one knows what a refried

235
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: bean is in the UK. Yeah. Paul's pronunciation of a

236
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: variety of words was bonkers.

237
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I want to say they kept saying a

238
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 4: trey leche cake, oh yes, instead of trace leches. It

239
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 4: was very that was upsetting to me as someone who

240
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: is currently doing duo lingo.

241
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: You're currently doing duo link.

242
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm I'm trying with Spanish. With Spanish, I'm trying

243
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 4: to refresh.

244
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: Did you take it in high school?

245
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 4: I took it in middle school and high school. Okay,

246
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: I dropped it senior year of high school because one

247
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: day I didn't do the homework and I was like,

248
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 4: I don't want to deal with the consequences of this,

249
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 4: so I am dropping Spanish. But it's like I took

250
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: it for long enough that like I would still when

251
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 4: I had the opportunity to practice it, I would be

252
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 4: surprised at how much I remembered. And I was like,

253
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 4: and also, my next door neighbors speak Spanish, and I

254
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 4: want to be able to speak to them more, you know,

255
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 4: because we've got a lot of you know, shared issues

256
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 4: being living.

257
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: Next door to each other.

258
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

259
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 4: And I had been texting with my next door neighbor

260
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 4: and she and I know that she speaks Spanish much

261
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 4: better than English, and I was like, I'll just try

262
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 4: and text her in Spanish as much as I possibly can,

263
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 4: and eventually I would just start like looking it up

264
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 4: on Google Translate, but I would want.

265
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: To know the things that I was, you know.

266
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 4: And then like a month ago, the two of us

267
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 4: were having a meeting with someone else. That's very complicated,

268
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: but at a certain point it came out that I

269
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 4: had not been texting with her. I had been texting

270
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: with her daughter, who is fully bilingual. And she was like, oh, yeah,

271
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 4: that's not my number, that's my daughter's number.

272
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: She just tells me the messages.

273
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, so I did not need to

274
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 4: be texting in Spanish. She was like, no, you did not.

275
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: But we were all very impressed. And I did not

276
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: own up to the fact that I had been using

277
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 4: Google Translate.

278
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: So I am trying to make my lie a true.

279
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 4: I'm trying to right backwards, make it so that I

280
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 4: know enough Spanish to have texted that fluently.

281
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 2: It's not a bad idea to trap yourself in like

282
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: an aspirational thing, tell everyone that you're good at it,

283
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: and then have to do it.

284
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, just sign up to perform at Carnegie Hall and

285
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 4: then start taking Pane lessons.

286
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: Wow, that's amazing. Does does Duolingo feel like it's an

287
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: effective teaching tool?

288
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 4: I don't think so, and I honestly think I just

289
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 4: read an article that was like, duo Lingo is not

290
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 4: as good as some of the other ones, and I

291
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: was like, well, I'm I'm gamified it enough where I'm like, well,

292
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 4: I have a streak. I have a streak going, so

293
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 4: I might do one of the other ones. But anyway, bakeoff, Yeah, that's.

294
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: What I know. I'm like, I want to talk about

295
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: bakeoff ten seconds and I'm.

296
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: Like, let's talk about it.

297
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: No, bake off, bakeoff. So we're currently like, I think

298
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: I'm probably four behind at this point. Oh wow, Well.

299
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 4: There was the Mexican Week and then there was the

300
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: Halloween one right after that.

301
00:14:59,160 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: Oh so that's it.

302
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: You're only yeah, you're only one episode behind.

303
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: Okay, and Halloween? How was that?

304
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 4: Halloween was a problem for me because Okay, so there

305
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: were first of all, there was no there was no

306
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 4: pumpkin at any point in any of it. They didn't

307
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 4: do any pumpkin act, you know, challenges, right, it was

308
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: a signature was an apple cake because they're like, you

309
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: know you bob for apples on Halloween.

310
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no. The last time someone bob for

311
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: an apple was nineteen seventy nine. This is kids are drowning.

312
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: Did you ever do it when you were a kid.

313
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: I feel like it was like at a church activity once.

314
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 4: It is so unpleasant. Of course, it's your waterboarding yourself.

315
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 4: It's like horrible and.

316
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: No one's mouth is that big.

317
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 4: No, and then you're just like you're just I mean,

318
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 4: that's one of those things where it's like COVID has

319
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 4: ended apple bobbing forever.

320
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: Of course, okay, and.

321
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 4: Then so then the the thing that really made me

322
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 4: upset was the the tech Nickel Challenge was s'mores. And

323
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 4: the s'mores that they presented were round like they were

324
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 4: like you make a round marsh marshmallow between two round

325
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: digestive biscuits with chocolate. Ganash and Paul Hollywood kept saying like,

326
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 4: and it.

327
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: Has to be neat as a pin. And it's like, no,

328
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: that's you eat s'mores with dirty, dirty fingers.

329
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 4: That's that is cannon.

330
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: You know it, like your hands are going to be filed.

331
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: Your hands are already filthy and they're gonna be even

332
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: dirty or after you read it, yes, and you sqush

333
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: it down.

334
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: That's the whole.

335
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 4: And you have to have way more gram cracker than

336
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 4: the marshmallow because you push it down. But the way

337
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: they did it was it was like a tall ass

338
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: two inch marshmallow that went right to the edge of

339
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 4: the cookie, so if you squeezed it down it would.

340
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: Have just fall out. It was very upsetting. It's not recognizable.

341
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: It is a smore to me.

342
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 4: And also s'mores are not for Halloween. They're they're like

343
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 4: weird way of connecting it was they were like more,

344
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 4: which you might eat sitting around a campfire telling scary stories,

345
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 4: which it was like a stretch and then a stretch no,

346
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: And then the showstopper was.

347
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: M you.

348
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 4: They had to make a hanging lantern dessert and there

349
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 4: was like a jackal lantern, but not a jackal lantern.

350
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: And why hanging So correct me if I'm wrong, but

351
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: this the hanging ends up being there's there are items

352
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: that are part of the cake that are not that.

353
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 3: Are inedible, like hooks and stuff.

354
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: This is the show. This is why we've got to

355
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: get rid of the show. Stop around entirely, because every

356
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: time I'm like, most of that it's not even edible.

357
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: What what are we doing? This is now a sculpture competition.

358
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 4: I do like when they're like it's you have to

359
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 4: make a cake with a bunch of different layers, and

360
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 4: then I'm like, ooh, I'd eat that, right And they

361
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: did one that I was like, I know this makes

362
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 4: it sound like I smoke so much pot and I don't,

363
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: but I was like, I would definitely want to eat that.

364
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 4: They had one that was like the do you remember

365
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 4: when they did the like I forget what it's called.

366
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 3: It's like a schmrgen.

367
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 4: Torten or whatever, like savory sandwich, the savory sandwich case, yes,

368
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 4: where it's just like cream cheese and like tomatoes and

369
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 4: stuff and just like a bunch of savory stuff. And

370
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 4: I was like, I want that. I want that right now,

371
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 4: and I know it probably does not taste as good

372
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 4: as it looks.

373
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: Those things were mortifying to me. The idea of like

374
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: and they do this at least once a season where

375
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: it's just like here's a bunch of wet meat in

376
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 2: between pastry. The British have. That's one thing that they

377
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: get wrong every time.

378
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 4: I mean, it's really remarkable that we are all enthralled

379
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 4: by a show about British food, and I think it

380
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 4: is telling that the best winners of that show are like,

381
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 4: you know, last year it was like an Italian guy.

382
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 4: It's always have a thick non British.

383
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: It's not like a Scottish gun. No, let me ask

384
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: you this. Do you feel like the equality of Bake

385
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 2: been getting worse over the years or better?

386
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 3: Like you think maybe they're running out of people?

387
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: Yes, I absolutely or my memory is just like gotten

388
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: too because I've now been watching it since twenty sixteen, probably,

389
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: and I remember the baker's being really good.

390
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 4: You know what I think happens though, I think by

391
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 4: the end of the season they're all better, and I

392
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 4: think you remember them when they're like done learning on

393
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 4: the show, right, and they really like to reward people

394
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 4: for getting better on the show. I think what's gonna

395
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 4: happen is by the end of the season, all of

396
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 4: those bakers are going to be better.

397
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 2: Interesting. I also I do think that they're doing a

398
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: little bit more stunt casting where they'll bring in somebody

399
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: they're like, this person's pretty bad, and they're probably going

400
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: to be bad the entire time, don't you think. I

401
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 2: feel like there are people are like, you have no

402
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: business being on a baking.

403
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 3: Show, right, It always stresses me out so hard. Do

404
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 3: you remember Toby?

405
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 4: He's my favorite contestant on any reality show ever?

406
00:19:58,680 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: What did he do?

407
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 4: He was on he was the first person eliminated from

408
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 4: like season six.

409
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 3: Or something, and it was like he just had.

410
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: The worst weekend of anyone in the tenth ever where

411
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 4: it was like he puts salt instead of sugar in

412
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 4: one of his bakes, and just as the day went on,

413
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 4: just more and more band aids started appearing on his fingers.

414
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: By the end, his fans were just covered.

415
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: That sounds vaguely familiar to me, and that kind of

416
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 2: disproves my theory. I guess season six that's a long time, I.

417
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 3: Mean, and he got eliminated right away, but it is.

418
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 4: I do feel like we're in a weird mid season

419
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 4: low where the challenges are harder than the bakers are

420
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 4: up to.

421
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 2: Right, But I think they're gonna pull out of it.

422
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 2: Do you have a pick of who's going to win?

423
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

424
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 4: So much changes in the last few weeks. I'm never

425
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 4: right about who's gonna win. But I do have like

426
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 4: who I want to be in the final three. Oh,

427
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 4: and I don't know.

428
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: If I should say it's up to you. That's I mean,

429
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 2: that's obviously a very private piece of information.

430
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: I want Shabira Yanush and Sandro okay.

431
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 2: And I don't know anyone's name on the show. I

432
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: know there's the lady with pink hair. I know there's

433
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 2: the lady who worked for Boris Johnson, which really was

434
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: a letdown. Immediately.

435
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like, oh, I have to root against

436
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 4: you for the entire season.

437
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: And I was so on board with her. I was like,

438
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 2: this lady's gonna be great, and then she used that

439
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: piece of information. It's like, oh no.

440
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's like, oh, you aren't good at baking

441
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 4: because you can't sleep at night?

442
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 3: Is that why?

443
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: I mean? I try initias like maybe she was like

444
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: kind of a reluctant civil servant that was kind of

445
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 2: trapped in the system, but then eventually needed to tell.

446
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 4: Us that, right, that was the case, but they didn't,

447
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 4: and so we have to assume the worst because we're Americans,

448
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 4: we're not British.

449
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like there's the woman who is Malaysian,

450
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: who's I think it's love her.

451
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 3: I love her.

452
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 4: She's so good, she's so good, but she's stumbled enough

453
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 4: that I would believe her arc winning it right, right.

454
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 4: They never I feel like whenever there's a front runner,

455
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 4: like what was that Jurgen, it was like Jurgen didn't

456
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 4: win because he was just perfect out of the gate

457
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 4: and just did so well.

458
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 3: And then when he started to stumble, it was like he.

459
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: Came in over prepared but didn't have it. Didn't couldn't.

460
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 4: She didn't grow on the show. They want they like

461
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 4: a comeback. I think Shabira could go all the way

462
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 4: because she also just has like yeah, it does such

463
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 4: interesting stuff and is very charming.

464
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: And then jan USh is the Polish guy.

465
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: Oh of course I love her.

466
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yanush is great and he's doing very well and

467
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 4: he's funny, and I think like him and Matt Lucas

468
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 4: have good banter. That's like the only time when I

469
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 4: actually really like watching Matt Lucas on the show is

470
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 4: when he's talking to Yanush. The rest of the time,

471
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 4: I'm like not having a good time.

472
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 2: With him this season.

473
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 4: But uh, and then Sandro is that like he's I

474
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 4: want to say, he's like from Switzerland and he's like tall,

475
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 4: like really muscly. Yeah yeah, with the like shaved lines

476
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 4: and his eyebrows.

477
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like I may have just learned that

478
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 2: his last name is Farmhouse, but I could be wrong.

479
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look that.

480
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 3: It sounds like something you dreamed.

481
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: Remind me of his first name, Sandro.

482
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 5: I mean, the internet's working a little slow right now,

483
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 5: but immediately the first thing I put into Google was

484
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 5: Sandro Farmhouse and it auto populated with shirtless right after.

485
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 4: So that's definitely him. His name is Sandro Farmhouse. All right, sure, fine, okay, Britain.

486
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 4: Do you ever watch Toast of London? I love I

487
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 4: love London, but whenever something that I like, that's a

488
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 4: Toast of London, it's a sand farmhouse.

489
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: Of course.

490
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 3: We stayed in a.

491
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 4: Hotel in West Virginia a few months ago and on

492
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 4: the wall there was like, you know, like it was

493
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 4: like a tennis It was like a big golf resort,

494
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 4: and so there was like a thing down in the

495
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 4: like one of the game room that was like the

496
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,239
Speaker 4: activities director and his name was Josh Beveridge, And I

497
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 4: was like that is the most the most toast of

498
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 4: London name I've ever seen in a while.

499
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 2: I was going through my notesapp recently and at some

500
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 2: point in the past I had written down a character

501
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: name that I really want to use at some point,

502
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 2: Nords from Brunette, which I think is a perfect name.

503
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 3: That's a very that's a very good name.

504
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, okay, so we've taught I mentioned I want

505
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: to talk about two TV shows. The other one I'm

506
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: so far behind at this point. Sister Wives. Oh yes,

507
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: I watched for a while.

508
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 3: They dropped out for like ten seasons or something, right.

509
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: Yes, but now it's been recently re recommended to me.

510
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: Or it's like you have to see what's going.

511
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 3: On because one of the wives is leaving.

512
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: Yes, and they're filming the whole thing themselves or something.

513
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so it's very weird. So okay, Sister Wives.

514
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 4: If you don't know, is that TLC reality show that

515
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 4: they came out with, Like as soon as the show

516
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 4: Big Love came out on HBO, that was it's about

517
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 4: a polygamist and his.

518
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 3: Three then four wives.

519
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 4: I think like season one he was courting his fourth wife,

520
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 4: and it's there in season seventeen, now and one of his.

521
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: Wives is leaving him.

522
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 4: But I think they filmed this season like a year

523
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 4: ago because that with COVID protocols and everything, like there's

524
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 4: a bunch of scenes that they're just filming themselves on

525
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 4: their phone.

526
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: It's weird.

527
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 4: It's very weird, and it's also honestly pretty surprising. I

528
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 4: think COVID is what ended that marriage because and in

529
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 4: a very surprising way, because obviously Cody Brown, who's the

530
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 4: husband who's like the biggest douche in the world looking man, alive,

531
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 4: scariest looking man with the most like upsetting attachment to

532
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 4: his horrible hair, and he is clearly like a very conservative,

533
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 4: like ex Mormon, but like because the Mormon were too

534
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 4: progressive for him, and like very much full of shit,

535
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 4: horrible man. But like he's the one in the family

536
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 4: who's like, I do not want to get COVID.

537
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 2: Isn't that episodic? It's so weird? So have you been watching it?

538
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, I've only watched I think the first episode

539
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 2: of this new season, and it's weird. Like, yeah, do

540
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: you think he's really cautious because he's also not vaccinated.

541
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 3: I think he's vaccinated.

542
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 4: The way I talked about it is that, yeah, like

543
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 4: I think he's vaccinated. I think he just had a

544
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 4: weird moment of clarity about it.

545
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 2: But it's also weird because.

546
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 4: It's like, dude, you have eighteen children at least or

547
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 4: something like, I don't know how you are. But also

548
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 4: it seems like maybe I do think that his wives

549
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 4: who did not want to follow his protocols were like

550
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 4: some of them were wrong, and we're probably taking risks

551
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 4: than like they shouldn't. But I also think he was

552
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 4: maybe using it as an excuse to spend more time

553
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 4: at Robin's house because that's his favorite life.

554
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: And Robin is the newest wife.

555
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: She's the newest wife.

556
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the one who's divorcing him is Christine.

557
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 3: And it's so weird because it's like I just have

558
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 3: I've like completely.

559
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 4: Forgot about this show for a really long time, and

560
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 4: then I was like, I need to check in.

561
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: And here.

562
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 4: The great thing about this show is you really can

563
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 4: check in at any point. You'll never miss anything because

564
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 4: if anything interesting happens, they will tell you about it

565
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 4: in every episode over and over again, before and after

566
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 4: every commercial break, and they'll show you flashbacks to the

567
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 4: other episode, like there is no reason to You do

568
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 4: not need to be like a a religious viewer of them,

569
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 4: like it is. They'll catch you up if anything happens.

570
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 2: Yes, one thing happens a season. Thank god, something happened.

571
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 2: If we have to talk about this as much as humably.

572
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 4: Fall, Yes, But yeah, Christine left in part because like

573
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 4: he wasn't spending time with her and her children, but

574
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 4: also he told her that he was never attracted to

575
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 4: her and that he was kind of talked into marrying

576
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 4: her like other people in the church, like because she

577
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 4: was from like a good, you know, polygamist family.

578
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 3: And I'm really enjoying watching her leave him.

579
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 4: Because it's the thing that you've been asking all of

580
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 4: them to do this entire time, because he's not he

581
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 4: doesn't deserve four wives, and he's like the least desirable

582
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 4: person on earth.

583
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: Yes, his face looks like he's just been standing in

584
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 2: a wind tunnel for ten years. It's so much beaten.

585
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 4: You know what's fucked up, though, is they'll show like

586
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 4: photos of him at their weddings and I'm like, he

587
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 4: was hot.

588
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: He was hot.

589
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 4: I mean it's like before he got the goatee, but

590
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 4: he was like a good looking blonde football player, just

591
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 4: like classic corn fed American white guy. Right, and then

592
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: just somehow he like all of the ways in which

593
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 4: he's bad looking are just the things that he chose

594
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 4: for his.

595
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 3: Own head, you know what I mean. Like none of

596
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 3: it has to do with his natural gifts.

597
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 4: It's all like I picked the worst facial hair and

598
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: the worst hairstyle, and I tan too much. Like all

599
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 4: of it is stuff that you can hold him directly responsible.

600
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: Just looks like a mask and wig at this point,

601
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: it's so bizarre. Show me him for Halloween.

602
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 4: I don't have a costume yet. Oh, it would be

603
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 4: really upset.

604
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: It would require it would require like a bald cap

605
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: and a wig. Strange.

606
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's one of those things where it's like he

607
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 4: in his confessionals always looks like he has more hair

608
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 4: than he actually does because he refuses to be seen

609
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 4: in profile and the confessionals, and he like.

610
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 3: Parts his hair in a very particular way.

611
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 4: It's oh man, yeah really, but I'm glad that you're

612
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:52,719
Speaker 4: watching it.

613
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: I didn't think anyone else was watching.

614
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: I'm glad to have an excuse to watch it again.

615
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm back with Cody the gang.

616
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's a bummer because it's like, I would

617
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 4: love to be rooting more for Christine leaving, but it's

618
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 4: like her exit plan is just being in a bunch

619
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 4: of MLMs and like, and you know, it works if

620
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 4: you're on TV and you can get like a million

621
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 4: idiots in your downline.

622
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: But like, oh, it's really upset the choices these people

623
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 2: are making.

624
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like, you're making the right choice for the

625
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 4: wrong reason where it's like you're leaving Cody over COVID.

626
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: Like that's the thing that was your life to say,

627
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 2: good choices made. Yeah, the one.

628
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 3: Thing he did right in this entire marriage.

629
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, so we've got I'm so glad we were

630
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: able to cover those two topics.

631
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, very important. I'm really happy to speak to you

632
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 4: about both of them.

633
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, both beautiful things. Unfortunately I have to hit the

634
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: brakes for something less pleasant. Oh no, Emily, the podcast

635
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: is called I said no Gifts, right. I was so

636
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: excited for you to be here. I the last time

637
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: I saw you, you were actually here in the backyard

638
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: taking a donut home to Peter. That's true.

639
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, went over huge, by the way, last time I

640
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 4: was here I had just left the house after eating

641
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 4: dinner and I had asked my husband what he wanted

642
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 4: for dinner, and he jokingly said donuts, and then we

643
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 4: ate something else. And then I came here and there

644
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 4: were donuts here and I was like, I'm going to

645
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 4: bring one of these home and it's gonna be such

646
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 4: a huge hit.

647
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: And it got a laugh.

648
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: It's a good donut.

649
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a good donut dough and he he

650
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 4: didn't need it that day. He had the next day,

651
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 4: but it was like, but he did acknowledge it was

652
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 4: a good bit. I was very dramatic and revealing it

653
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 4: to him.

654
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was a nice time in the backyard

655
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: with you. I thought this was gonna be a nice

656
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: time and then I see you come up the driveway

657
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: holding a bag. Yeah, I'm just going to call a

658
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: spade a spade. This is a gift for me, is

659
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 2: it not?

660
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 4: It I want to dance around it, but I am

661
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 4: really out of shape. It is a gift for you,

662
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: but it's it's not for today, it's for a different

663
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 4: It's for because it's for your birthday. It's a birthday present.

664
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 4: So this is unrelated to the podcast. I did not

665
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 4: bring you a gift for the podcast.

666
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

667
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 4: But it's a really bad coincidence that it that it arrived.

668
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: Now, your timing couldn't be worse.

669
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: No, it really could not.

670
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: I mean it could have had you ejected from the show.

671
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know what I thought about that when

672
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 4: I was driving here, and I was like, but I

673
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 4: have it now, and I have to get it out

674
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 4: of my car. My car is just tacked to the wall,

675
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 4: the wall with other items and other gifts that I'm delivering.

676
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: You're in the middle of a movie.

677
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 3: I'm doing a little bit.

678
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 4: I'm in my Santa Fez of Adulthood right now, where

679
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 4: I just sort of traveling around delivering presents to people.

680
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 4: I'm working on the outfit to build classic red and white,

681
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 4: but it feels like a lot of other motifs have

682
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 4: already been claimed, so I'm open to suggestions.

683
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: Okay, well then, I mean, that's nice, it's unconventional, it's

684
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: a nice surprise. It is for my birthday, which was

685
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: It's sometimes passed since my birthday, which is unfortunate. But

686
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: I'm happy to open it here on the podcast.

687
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 6: I think that's a good idea.

688
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into it. It's a rather tall bag.

689
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will admit that this is a gift bag

690
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 4: that has been in my family for generations. This has

691
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: been going in and out of my gift wrapping tepperware

692
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: for years.

693
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: I support that fully.

694
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 3: Me and my husband just hand it to each other

695
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 3: every few months.

696
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: I feel like, if you get a decent, like quality

697
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: gift bag, use it as long as possible.

698
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. What, there was a tradition in my family.

699
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 4: But it was like my grandmother got remarried when I

700
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 4: was eight, and so I got like a new grandpa

701
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 4: and he had a bunch of you know, kids and grandkids,

702
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 4: and they had their own family traditions that we were

703
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 4: brought in on, and one of them was that his

704
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 4: late wife, who he was married to before my grandmother

705
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 4: had made this gift wrap box. So she had taken

706
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 4: like a like a wardrobe box and covered it like

707
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 4: she had upholstered it basically in well, no, it's like

708
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 4: she had sewn like a cloth cover with like a ribbon.

709
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 3: And it became a game in their family.

710
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 4: That every year at Christmas, whoever got a gift in

711
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 4: that box was the loser and had to hold onto

712
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 4: the box for their next year.

713
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 3: And I really, I really like.

714
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: That beautiful w to keep her memory alive.

715
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I never met her. This is all I

716
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 3: knew about her.

717
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: That sort of thing sounds almost like a cursed box.

718
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like.

719
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 4: I like a family tradition where everyone just sort of

720
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 4: points and laughs on someone every year.

721
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 2: I think you have to hang on to it for

722
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: an entire year. Yes, yeah, I think I love reusable wrap.

723
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 4: This one is maybe not going to be reasonable much longer.

724
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 4: I have noticed something.

725
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: Like it probably could be ironed at this point. It's

726
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 2: a little wrinkly, but yes, it's a gift bag. Nonetheless,

727
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to reach in.

728
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 4: Okay, be careful with I'm going to pull one of

729
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 4: the things out because it needs to remain in a

730
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 4: certain position.

731
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 3: But you can take the other thing out.

732
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 2: Okay, take this out first, Yeah, okay taking out what?

733
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: This is such a foreign object.

734
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 4: This is easily the item I have gifted most because

735
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 4: it is, in my opinion, dollar for dollar, the most

736
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 4: valuable thing I've ever bought.

737
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 3: It is the Carson bug View.

738
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 4: It is a one handed bug catcher and magnifier. So

739
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 4: you know the concept of like putting a cup over

740
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 4: above and then sliding a paper underneath it.

741
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 3: Right, this does that but with one hand.

742
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 4: Oh this is and so you hold it and you

743
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 4: it's got a little thumb thing, and you put it

744
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 4: over the bug, and then you slide your thumb with

745
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 4: the same hand that's holding it. And then once it's trapped,

746
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 4: you can look at it through the magnifying glass on

747
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 4: the chamber. But then the best part about it is

748
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 4: once it's trapped and you take it outside. It's also

749
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 4: shaped like a lacrosse stick, so when you open it

750
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 4: you can get some really good air flinging theme across

751
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 4: the yard.

752
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: How did you learn of this object?

753
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 3: I saw it on a gift guide. Really, I was looking.

754
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 4: I mean, so I'm an ant and I have I

755
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 4: have no idea what children like, and so every year

756
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 4: for birthdays and Christmas, I'm looking up gifts four x

757
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 4: year old, gifts for four year olds, and so this

758
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 4: I saw on a on a list for like gifts

759
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 4: for kids for Christmas, and I was like, I want

760
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 4: that for me.

761
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: This is fully for adults and we use it all

762
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: the time. What have you caught in yours?

763
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 4: Just any bug that's in the house, like just I mean,

764
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 4: it's really exciting to use it on flies, because that's

765
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 4: that's hunting.

766
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: You're able to How are you? You have to be

767
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 2: so fast?

768
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 4: I feel like for them you have to wait for

769
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 4: them to land on the window to die.

770
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 3: I mean spiders are easy. Spiders are easy.

771
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 4: I feel like I've used it on Those are the

772
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 4: two main ones. Any like big flying bug that stops.

773
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 4: If you can just slowly creep toward it, you can

774
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 4: you can trap it.

775
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's one. It's indispensable. It is.

776
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 4: My husband really wanted me to say this. It's called

777
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 4: the Carson bug you because you can look at some

778
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 4: really weird wild stuff in it. And I have fulfilled

779
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 4: my contractual obligation to say that he invented.

780
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 2: Has there been any particular bug that's been interesting under

781
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 2: like really interesting under the magnifying glass. No, they've all sucked.

782
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 3: I mean.

783
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 4: The thing is, it's like the idea for kids is

784
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 4: like you're supposed to take it out in your yard

785
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 4: and like find some, but I mostly just do it

786
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 4: for bugs I want to get rid of.

787
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: Okay, So are you someone who's scared of bugs when

788
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 2: they're around the house, spiders, that sort of thing, or

789
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: doesn't really bother you.

790
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 4: It's more that, like, as someone with some minor hoarding tendencies,

791
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 4: I know that I cannot accustom myself to their presence

792
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 4: or soon it'll be out of control, right, you know

793
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like I nip it in the bud,

794
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 4: otherwise I'll I'll stop seeing them.

795
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 2: Get cozy with the bugs, and suddenly we have a problem.

796
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 4: We're like our house is just like not sealed in

797
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 4: any place like zone. There's a few places in the

798
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 4: house where you can sort of see the outside kind

799
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 4: of through the wall, and you shouldn't be able to

800
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 4: and so we have a bug problem.

801
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 3: And so it's it's just like we're constantly you know.

802
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 2: No, I'm not particularly scared of bugs. Jim my boyfriend

803
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 2: is terrified of almost all of them. So I have

804
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 2: to take care of the situation all the time. Okay,

805
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: this is going to be perfect for me. Oh good? Yeah.

806
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 4: I mean I will say, like, I'm not afraid of bugs.

807
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 3: I find them a little gross and intrusive.

808
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 4: I think my husband gets like angrier at them being

809
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 4: in the house, Like he has like a salt gun

810
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 4: that he'll sho them with, and just like he gets

811
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 4: like I think a little bit more frustrated than I do.

812
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 3: But I think I'm also just grosser than he is.

813
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 2: In general. When I see a bug in the house,

814
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 2: I feel like it's like a failure on my part.

815
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I've allowed my house to become dirty.

816
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, now I'm a slob. That's the immediate feeling

817
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 2: I have anytime I see a bug where I'm like, yeah, oh,

818
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: now I've really left.

819
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 4: There's a part of me where I'm like, I have

820
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 4: to get rid of it before he sees that there's

821
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 4: a bug in here, because then he'll know I'm gross.

822
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 2: What's your stance on killing a bug? I've done it

823
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 2: quite a bit.

824
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 4: The thing I do like about the Carson bug view

825
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 4: is it gives you another alternative to easily get them

826
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 4: out of the house without killing them. I do wonder sometimes,

827
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 4: like why I feel comfortable killing bugs right like I shouldn't.

828
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 4: But then I'm also I'm like, their brains are like

829
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 4: that big? How much how much true? Like you know,

830
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 4: spirit and intelligence? Am I really snuffing out?

831
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 3: Not that much?

832
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: And also as a gardener, I kill so many huge gardens.

833
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 2: They're the enemy right there, after all of your plants.

834
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 4: They are, And the other day I was in I

835
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 4: don't have a garden right now because we're doing construction

836
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 4: and we're like, we're building something where my garden was,

837
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 4: and it's the whole thing. But so I started volunteering

838
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 4: at a community garden and the other day we were

839
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 4: getting ready to like plant in one of their beds,

840
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 4: and we just like it had just been sitting there

841
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 4: for I didn't know how long. It was very dry,

842
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 4: and so we just like started spraying it with water

843
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 4: to get ready to plant there, and just millions of ants,

844
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 4: all of them carrying eggs, pouring out of the ground, just.

845
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 3: Like, oh I do, what do I do?

846
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 4: Just like panicking and like running around where it was

847
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 4: just like the whole thing was covered, and I just

848
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 4: got the bottle of neem oil and I just sprayed

849
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 4: until they were all dead. And I was like, this

850
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 4: is the most I've ever killed in one day of

851
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 4: any day of my life.

852
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 2: You're the destroyer, yes, you're truly.

853
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 3: I'm a dark and evil god.

854
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 2: But with ants I fully support. There's so many of

855
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 2: them and they're just so bad.

856
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 4: I feel like once a week there's a news story

857
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 4: that's like did you know that if you put all

858
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 4: of the ants in the world in a pile, they'd

859
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 4: be heavier than the moon.

860
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 2: I don't want to know that.

861
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 3: Stop telling me how there are.

862
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: Who's doing this sort of research. I don't need to

863
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 2: know how heavy all are ants are.

864
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 4: Some kind of perverb is just there counting ants and

865
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 4: being there's more.

866
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm so excited to use this. What a device.

867
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 4: And then there's another gift that I realized is sort

868
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 4: of the opposite of the.

869
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 2: Discussion.

870
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 4: Just to get you started, you know how when people

871
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 4: give you like an electronic and then the batteries that

872
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 4: go with it.

873
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 2: Here's your your DVD player and a copy of Avatar.

874
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: This is.

875
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 3: What I think we might have spoken about this.

876
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 4: This is a narrow a California native narrow leaf milkweed

877
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 4: that I got grow from seed, the purpose of which

878
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 4: is to attract more.

879
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 3: Bugs into your life, because a lot of bugs.

880
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 4: This is the only food that monarch butterflies, these are

881
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 4: caterpillars eat, So I got really into monarch butterflies this

882
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 4: year because again I couldn't garden. So I was like,

883
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 4: what I'll do is I'll prepare for when I can

884
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 4: garden again, and I'll start I knew I wanted to

885
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 4: plant some milkweed because they're endangered.

886
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 3: And apparently there's this whole thing where.

887
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 4: Like there's tropical milkweed and then there's native milkweed, and

888
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 4: tropical milkweed is the most common, and you're not supposed

889
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 4: to plant it because it confuses them about where they're

890
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 4: supposed to beg Yeah, but because it like is sort

891
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 4: of perennial, it confuses them and so you're only supposed

892
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 4: to do like climate appropriate. And so this is a

893
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 4: climate appropriate milkweed plant, and it will attract monarch butterfly.

894
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 3: Put it in the ground.

895
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 4: Now next late spring you'll have caterpillars.

896
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 2: And we're like, is this something I should put in

897
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 2: my like vegetable garden bed or is like groundcover? What

898
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 2: sort of I.

899
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 3: Think it's like you should consider it shrubbery. Consider it shrubbery.

900
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 2: How And is the one that when you get the

901
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 2: milk on you No.

902
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 3: I think that's fire sticks, you know those ones that?

903
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean milk weed does it is called

904
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 4: milkweed because when you like snap it, it's.

905
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: Milk gross slime. And yes, it's got what.

906
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 3: It's got milk in there.

907
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 4: For some reason, we're like two months two months away

908
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 4: from that being an option at coffee shops.

909
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 2: We should get in on that. Yeah.

910
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 4: But yes, so this is a very small plant, but

911
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 4: if you put it in the ground, it will be

912
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 4: big enough for caterpillars by next year.

913
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 2: And how much care do I need to put into

914
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 2: this thing? So I would say, google it. I think

915
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 2: water it every other day. Okay, maybe even less because

916
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 2: it's been raining and it's been cool. But did you,

917
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 2: uh plant it from seed?

918
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 3: I grew this from seed?

919
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 2: Yes, I grew up from seed.

920
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, So I bought I bought some seeds and

921
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 4: I started a bunch because my goal was to have

922
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 4: a bunch that I could give out to my neighbors

923
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 4: to have them plant them so that we could make

924
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 4: a little highway in the neighborhood.

925
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 2: That's beautiful.

926
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I reared like four monarchs from like caterpillar

927
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 4: to butterfly this year.

928
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 3: It was really exciting.

929
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: And then sent them off into the world.

930
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 3: And sent them off into the world.

931
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 4: They are now, I mean probably dead, they're almost certainly.

932
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 2: Dead at this point.

933
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is you know, you just have to accept

934
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 4: It's one of the lessons of the milk I mean

935
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 4: the other thing too, is that like there's a lot

936
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 4: of mixed information about how you're supposed to like interact

937
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 4: with them, because like you're not supposed to rear them

938
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 4: inside because then they don't know how to deal with

939
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 4: the weather.

940
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 2: These butterflies and likeughen up.

941
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 4: And there's a lot of warnings online that are like,

942
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 4: do not rear butterflies because then they'll get sick, they'll

943
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 4: be crowded together, and a lot of those warnings are

944
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 4: aimed at the people who are like doing hundreds of

945
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 4: them at a time. And so I immediately like I

946
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 4: had I had gotten an enclosure, which is basically just

947
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 4: like a mesh hamper they can put the milkweed inside

948
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 4: of and then they build their crystalis in there and

949
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 4: you get to watch the whole thing happen and it's amazing.

950
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 4: But then I saw something online that was like you

951
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 4: were not supposed to rear them, and I was like, Okay,

952
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 4: I'll let nature take its course. And at that point,

953
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 4: I had new eggs that had been laid on my

954
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 4: milkweed plants, and I had like seventeen caterpillars, and I

955
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 4: was like, I am going to let nature take its course,

956
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 4: I am not going to interfere.

957
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 3: I'm not going to use the enclosure again.

958
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 4: At that point, I had reared like three up until

959
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 4: like emergence, and so I was like, i've it's okay,

960
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 4: it's fine. And then one day I saw a wasp

961
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 4: buzzing around the plants, and I two hours later I

962
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 4: went out there and it had eaten all but one

963
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 4: of them.

964
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 2: Oh like, wasps so dark?

965
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 4: Carve your caterpillars up and then take their like remains away,

966
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 4: They're so evil. And I then I panicked and I

967
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 4: went full finding.

968
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 3: Nemo, like because you know in the beginning of that movie.

969
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,720
Speaker 4: Is like there's like hundreds of eggs and then a

970
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 4: like a swordfish comes and eats all but one of them,

971
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 4: and that's Nemo. And so I took the last caterpillar

972
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 4: and I put it back in the enclosure, and I

973
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 4: was like, you will not die, you will not die

974
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 4: on my watch, but you will probably need more than

975
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 4: this one plant, because once they arrive, they eat.

976
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 2: This sh crazy, yeah, turn it into a sizzler.

977
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 3: The very Hungry Caterpillar is.

978
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 2: It's a documentary, absolutely a documentary. I mean, speaking of wasp,

979
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 2: what's do you have any idea about the purpose of

980
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: a like of nature. What is a wasp adding to

981
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 2: any of our lives? I think they pollinate, They do pollinate,

982
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 2: and they better pollinate.

983
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they kill bugs. I don't know what it's like.

984
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 4: It does seem like there are some superfluous bugs that

985
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 4: we should be able to get rid.

986
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 2: Of, like adding nothing to any of our lives and

987
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 2: just being nuisances.

988
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 4: But I have to believe that like birds eat them.

989
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 2: But birds aren't eating a wasp.

990
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 3: They might be a tough one. It's like those are

991
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 3: the birds that are like, how spicy do you want it?

992
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 3: Like a knife?

993
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 2: They're the most And is a wasp different from a hornet?

994
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 2: I know you're not a bug exter, but I'd like

995
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 2: to see if somebody.

996
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,919
Speaker 3: Really have given you every reason they think that I am.

997
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 4: I'm going on and on about the cars above you

998
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 4: as if I am.

999
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 2: I know you care.

1000
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 4: Has anyone tried to sell you so hard on the

1001
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,720
Speaker 4: gift that they brought you?

1002
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 2: No? But but this most I mean, the sale wasn't required.

1003
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 4: Most other gifts you can tell why they're gonna be

1004
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 4: useful to you without the explanation.

1005
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 2: But see, that's actually not true. This one. I was like, oh,

1006
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 2: I love this, what a fun novelty at the very least, right,

1007
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 2: you didn't have to sell it. You could have. You

1008
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 2: could have been just like dropped out on my lap

1009
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 2: and been like, you know what this is.

1010
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 3: But it's the Carson bug View.

1011
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 4: The fact that it's called the bug View, and and

1012
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 4: then in small letters it says bug catcher.

1013
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 3: It's like the only person who's.

1014
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 4: Really I'm like, I'm not looking at the bugs very

1015
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 4: much at all.

1016
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be looking at every single bug. It's a

1017
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 2: little TV for me.

1018
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 4: But anyway, I'm not I'm not a bug expert. I

1019
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 4: don't know the difference between a hornet and a wasp.

1020
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 2: On alase, have you done any research here?

1021
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 5: Yes? So it says that hornets are larger, while wasps

1022
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 5: are brighter. Wasps have black and yellow rings while hornets

1023
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 5: have black and white rings.

1024
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,479
Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm I'm more of a wasp person. There's

1025
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 2: more color there, They're smaller.

1026
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 3: They're smaller.

1027
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have to be anti wasp because of the

1028
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 4: personal tragedy.

1029
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 2: That I've seen.

1030
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 4: I've seen they've comes for my loved ones.

1031
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 2: What an evil creature there is evil in the world.

1032
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 4: And I do feel like at the time that that

1033
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 4: was happening, someone reached out to be like, but it's

1034
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 4: a good thing to have, wasps because and then they

1035
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 4: said a reason, and I've forgotten it.

1036
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear that.

1037
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 4: I mean, clearly is not important and important enough reason

1038
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 4: for me to remember.

1039
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 2: Wow, Well, I'm so thrilled. I'm going to become this

1040
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 2: is really a Bridger's bug day.

1041
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 3: I really hope that.

1042
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 4: The one thing about the milkweed that I'll say that

1043
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 4: might freak you out is I do think that it

1044
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 4: dies back a bit in winter, and you're going to

1045
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 4: be like, it's dead.

1046
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 3: It's not dead.

1047
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 4: You just need to cut some of the dead leaves

1048
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 4: off and then it'll come back. But that's why it's

1049
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 4: the correct milkweed for us to have, because it doesn't

1050
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 4: confuse the butter Right, you need milkweed that dies back

1051
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 4: in winter if you're in this part of Calvin.

1052
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 2: Otherwise you're troublemaker.

1053
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 3: Otherwise you are luring them to their death.

1054
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 2: You're contributing to the problem.

1055
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 4: Yes, it's very hard for me to because people know

1056
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 4: that I like monarch butterflies now and they'll be like

1057
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 4: check it out, and I'll be like, that's the.

1058
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 3: Wrong kind of milkweed, and I just rain on their parade.

1059
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 4: I've become the sort of like crazy lady in the

1060
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 4: neighborhood too, where I like, one time I saw a

1061
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 4: bunch of caterpillars on this tropical milkweed in my neighbor's

1062
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 4: yard when I was walking my dog and she came

1063
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 4: out of her house and I just started lecturing her

1064
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 4: about She's.

1065
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 3: Like, I'm a renter, I don't care what.

1066
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 2: Just let me go about my day.

1067
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 4: Yes, but it's one of those things where once you

1068
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 4: know about the difference, you're gonna start seeing tropical milkweed everywhere.

1069
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 2: Youre like expertise in gardening? How long has like when

1070
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 2: did you get into all of them? So I'm an amateur,

1071
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 2: I mean by any stretch, but compared to a normal person.

1072
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 4: Yes, I started gardening, like I think probably a little

1073
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 4: bit before the pandemic because we bought this house in

1074
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 4: like twenty eighteen, and then we got a dog right away,

1075
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh great, this house has a yard.

1076
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 3: My dog's gonna love it.

1077
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 4: And we got a couch potato dog and he'd just

1078
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 4: we would take him outside and he'd be like, what

1079
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 4: are we doing out here? The couches inside. He doesn't

1080
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 4: play fetch, he doesn't care. He would just roll over

1081
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 4: for a belly rap and then go back inside. And

1082
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, well, now I have this land,

1083
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 4: what do I do with it? Grass seems stupid. My

1084
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 4: brother's a really good gardener, and so he got me

1085
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 4: started with some.

1086
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 2: And you had someone in your life that is a

1087
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 2: support system.

1088
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 3: He is an excellent gardener. He could answer a lot

1089
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 3: of my questions.

1090
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 4: But also I just went on YouTube a lot, Like

1091
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 4: a lot of gardening is just like killing plants and

1092
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 4: then looking up why they died.

1093
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 3: That's a big part of it.

1094
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 4: And I've killed like aside from the ants that I've killed,

1095
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 4: I killed like a hundred seedlings and like plants I

1096
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 4: had started from seed I killed them all in one

1097
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 4: day and it was devastating. But every time I like

1098
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 4: look something up, like I've looked up questions online and

1099
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 4: one time I found on Reddit, on like some gardening reddit,

1100
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 4: someone was like asking the same question. They were like,

1101
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 4: I'm a very new gardener. I've only been doing it

1102
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 4: for about five years. And I was like, oh, this

1103
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 4: is going to take forever to be good at this,

1104
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 4: but especially during the pandemic, I was like, Oh, our

1105
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 4: food system is collapsing.

1106
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 3: I need to know how to grow stuff.

1107
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 2: Right, you be the one person that you're going to

1108
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 2: be the queen of La where everything falls apart.

1109
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone is gonna need I mean. And it's like

1110
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 4: I grow such a small amount of I always think

1111
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 4: about it. I'm like, I could not live on the

1112
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 4: food I grow, and that bothers like.

1113
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 3: It's not enough.

1114
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 2: But it's like a novel.

1115
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 4: One thing that is really cool about it that I've

1116
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,479
Speaker 4: started to lean into more is that, like I think

1117
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 4: the real draw of being able to garden is that

1118
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 4: there are so many varieties of like fruits and vegetables

1119
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 4: that they do not sell in the grocery store because

1120
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 4: no one knows what they are and no one wants them.

1121
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 4: And not just like oh from other countries. It's just

1122
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 4: like varieties of peppers, because the way the genetics work

1123
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 4: for peppers and tomatoes and stuff is like it's very

1124
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 4: easy to cross breed them and to make a new one,

1125
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 4: Like you can make a new generation of like a

1126
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 4: new kind of pepper, like every day or something and

1127
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 4: so there's just all these really weird peppers and tomatoes.

1128
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 4: You can grow yourself if you know how to, but

1129
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 4: you cannot get in stores, right, And that's what I

1130
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 4: think is like you can just like grow a bunch

1131
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 4: of stuff that you wouldn't be able to ever eat otherwise.

1132
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, my brother sent me two packets of seeds that

1133
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 2: are like crazy hybrids. Like one is like purple snow

1134
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 2: peas or something. The other is a like a Hoberniro

1135
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 2: pepper that's not spicy.

1136
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 3: Well, what's the point of that?

1137
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. I've had to grow them. I haven't

1138
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 2: grown the peppers yet, but I'm very curious what is

1139
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 2: the point. Maybe it's got a good flavor.

1140
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I grew some Peruvian hobbin arrows, that's what

1141
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 4: they were called on the pack, and they're very spicy.

1142
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 4: But they're small and they're white, and they're like kind

1143
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 4: of smoky and they're flavor. The flavor of them was

1144
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 4: so good. It's like my favorite pepper I've ever grown.

1145
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 4: And but then also like my next door neighbors, the

1146
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 4: ones who I have been texting in Spanish, they are

1147
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 4: from Peru, and so like I was like, do you

1148
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 4: know these and they didn't.

1149
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 3: But these people do not like but they did know.

1150
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 4: Well, they asked for a garden to her, and I

1151
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 4: like showed them around and I all, but I was

1152
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 4: also growing these things called ground cherries.

1153
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 2: Do you know what those are?

1154
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 4: All?

1155
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 3: They're like kind of.

1156
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 4: Related to to matillos. They grow in like a husk, okay.

1157
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 4: And when she saw the and they're like kind of

1158
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 4: like a little sweet and a little sour. And when

1159
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 4: she saw those, she was like, oh, these used to

1160
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 4: grow wild in Peru and whenever we were like walking

1161
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 4: through the hills, we used to pick them and eat them.

1162
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 3: And so that was a really cool thing, Like, oh

1163
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 3: my god.

1164
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like that made me so And those

1165
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:07,720
Speaker 4: things are really fun to eat.

1166
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 2: I don't know ground cherries is that technic? Is it

1167
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,919
Speaker 2: a fruit? Yes? That sounds like something I would love

1168
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 2: to eat.

1169
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 3: I think you would.

1170
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's wonderful.

1171
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 4: They grow in these sort of like low branching plants

1172
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 4: and then they grow in these little like sort of

1173
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 4: lantern like husks, and then when the husks are brown,

1174
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 4: the fruit inside is like a little orange ball and

1175
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 4: it's just it's a very interesting flavor. It's like halfway

1176
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 4: between fruit and vegetable.

1177
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 2: Oh this sounds like a great snack.

1178
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're really fun.

1179
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,439
Speaker 4: And there's just like so many I mean yeah, Oh god,

1180
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 4: I'm miss gardening so much.

1181
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 3: I haven't done it in so long.

1182
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 2: What a shame. Yeah, and you'll get back to it.

1183
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 2: I will. Well, I think we should play a game. Yes,

1184
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 2: let's do it. Let's play a game called Gift or

1185
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 2: a Curse. I need a number between Why am I

1186
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 2: struggling to remember number? I want to say a numberw

1187
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 2: F no between one and ten. Five. Okay, I'm going

1188
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 2: to do some like calculating. Okay, in the meantime, you

1189
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 2: can promote, recommend, do whatever you want.

1190
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 4: I'm going to explain the reasoning for me picking the

1191
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 4: number five so quickly and without thinking, which is that

1192
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 4: my name is Emily.

1193
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 3: There's five letters in the name Emily.

1194
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 4: It starts with the letter E, which is the fifth

1195
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 4: letter of the alphabet.

1196
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 3: And I was born on the fifth.

1197
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 4: In a year ending in five, and so I've always

1198
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 4: felt like that was my lucky number, despite the fact

1199
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 4: that there is currently a firetruck declaring that nothing happening

1200
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 4: right now is lucky and everything is bad. I just

1201
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 4: want to promote the number five. I also have a

1202
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 4: podcast called Baby Genius is if you want to listen

1203
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 4: to it.

1204
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 2: It's such a good podcast. Oh, thank you. I mean,

1205
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 2: what's going on right now in your neighborhood. In the neighborhood,

1206
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 2: I don't know every type of siren.

1207
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 4: We it does sound like a fire truck. And there

1208
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 4: was an arson in my front yard recently. In your

1209
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 4: front yard, Yes, you have a storage cube right now

1210
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 4: because we like, like I said, we're doing construction and

1211
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 4: we got rid of our garage and we put everything

1212
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 4: that was in the garage in one of those like

1213
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 4: it's a storage cube, you know, like in our front yard.

1214
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 4: It's just like a wooden box with a cover on it.

1215
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 4: And someone said it on fire the other night.

1216
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 2: Did all this stuff get burned? No?

1217
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 4: Well, luckily my next door neighbor, who I have a

1218
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 4: very good relationship, Okay, coming home from a night out

1219
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 4: the daughter and she knocked on the door at three am,

1220
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 4: and it woke our dog up, and our dog woke

1221
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 4: up us up, and we came out and I put

1222
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 4: the fire out with a fire extinguisher.

1223
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 3: Oh and it was the coolest I've ever felt, of course.

1224
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so funn to use a fire extinguisher to

1225
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 4: put a fire out. I can't say I recommend it

1226
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 4: because I don't want you to be in that situation.

1227
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 4: But like, if you're ever if like the fire extinguisher factories,

1228
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 4: like we need someone to test out on real fires,

1229
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 4: you should do it.

1230
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 2: That's so cool. Yeah, it was really fun. The fire

1231
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 2: didn't there did not.

1232
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 4: It just burned the out, like the plastic tarp outside

1233
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 4: of the outside of the cube, and then the out

1234
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 4: the cube itself got a little bit charred, but everything

1235
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 4: inside was fine.

1236
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 2: Somebody just passed by the hated storage.

1237
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 3: I get well.

1238
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 4: Our our other neighbor had her trash can burned down

1239
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 4: to the ground at the exact same time. Whoa, it

1240
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 4: was like three am on a Saturday night. So it

1241
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 4: was definitely arson. Oh but it's like, what do I

1242
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 4: do about that? I mean, it's like it's not like

1243
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 4: they were trying to steal anything. It was just like

1244
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 4: a totally senseless crime.

1245
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 2: If we're just trying to destroy everything, Arson is a

1246
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 2: I feel like arson is one thing that a lot

1247
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 2: of people get away with. I feel like I've read

1248
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 2: that somewhere.

1249
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 3: Really, let's just.

1250
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 2: What we're trying to talk about. Listen, go ahead and

1251
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 2: burn something down. You won't get caught. Is the neighbor

1252
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 2: bothering you burn their house down? Okay? This is how

1253
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 2: we play gift for a curse. I'm going to name

1254
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 2: three things. You're gonna tell me if they're a gift

1255
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 2: or a curse and why. I'll tell if you're right

1256
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 2: or wrong, because there are correct answers. Okay. Number one uh,

1257
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 2: This is from a listener named Lydia. Lydia wrote in

1258
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 2: and suggested gift to a curse. Phone numbers with words,

1259
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 2: for example, one eight hundred USA Rail. I don't know

1260
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 2: if that's a real phone number.

1261
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 3: I have to imagine that's Amtrak.

1262
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 2: Oh. Probably I was on amtrack recently.

1263
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 3: Did you notice any stickers with their phone number?

1264
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 2: No, they weren't begging me to call that aspect of

1265
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 2: it like, got complaints?

1266
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 3: Too bad? This ain't Europe. We're your only choice.

1267
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 2: This is basically a bus.

1268
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 4: I am going to say, gift why, because no one

1269
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 4: remembers anyone's phone numbers. If you're ever in a situation

1270
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 4: where you need to give someone your phone number, like

1271
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 4: I think, as long as it's not something that people

1272
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 4: will sort of like want to type in anyway if

1273
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 4: it's just like I was just gonna say dog fart,

1274
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 4: and I'm like someone would type that in. But if

1275
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 4: your number is dog fart, then you can just say, like,

1276
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 4: just call me. I'm like, you know, three two three

1277
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 4: dogs three two three, dog fart.

1278
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 3: That's great.

1279
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,919
Speaker 4: And I think it's like it's only I don't can't

1280
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 4: see how it's occurs unless you're getting a lot of

1281
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,919
Speaker 4: calls that you don't want. But we're all getting those

1282
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 4: calls anyway. You're one hundred, right, of course, How could

1283
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 4: that be anything but a gift. It's a fun little novelty.

1284
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 3: Have you ever had your numbers spell out anything?

1285
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 2: I've never had mine. My childhood friend James, his phone

1286
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 2: number ended with mint, which I always loved. That's a

1287
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 2: nice one to have.

1288
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 3: I had when I got my own phone number, it was.

1289
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 4: It ended in the letters DHC because I was really

1290
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 4: into the dance hall crashers.

1291
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 3: And you got to pick that. I got to pick that.

1292
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 4: But then I also realized that the first four numbers

1293
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 4: also spelled out Jack and d HC is also the

1294
01:01:59,120 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 4: same letters as D.

1295
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 3: I see, So my phone number was Jack Dick.

1296
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 2: Poor choice. Poor choice on your part.

1297
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I actually haven't looked to see if my current

1298
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 4: phone number spells anything. I know I'm going through my

1299
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 4: number of my zero in it and so or it

1300
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 4: has a one in it, So it doesn't.

1301
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 2: It can't. Yeah, and I feel like mine doesn't have

1302
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 2: any vowels, right, But I could be wrong. I hope

1303
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 2: I probably just gave away my phone number to some

1304
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 2: phone number genius. Another thing with phone numbers I've noticed

1305
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 2: recently is my last two optometrists end with twenty twenty,

1306
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 2: which is like, very cute.

1307
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they all have it.

1308
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 4: And the whole point is I don't have twenty twenty visions, right,

1309
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 4: I certainly don't advertisement anything.

1310
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 2: Ten Well, I don't even know what my vision is. Horrible,

1311
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 2: But I love a novelty with a phone number. We

1312
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 2: can all take a little. That's a gift. Yeah. Next up,

1313
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 2: a listener named Jordan has written in Gift or a

1314
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 2: Curse fast food drive throughs where the employees come outside

1315
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 2: to deliver the food to your car instead of passing

1316
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 2: it through a window, Gift or a curse.

1317
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 4: That to me seems like a gift because the number

1318
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 4: of times that I've pulled up to a drive through

1319
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 4: window and then had to back up and pull up

1320
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 4: again because I wasn't close enough for weeks because I'm

1321
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 4: just not good at eyeballing where my car is supposed

1322
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 4: to be.

1323
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 2: It's humiliating, emily wrong, curse this, and this is why

1324
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying there. But if they're on

1325
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 2: roller skates, one hundred percent, I love it. I'm thrilled,

1326
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 2: but that I think that's happened to me one time.

1327
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: The rest of the time, it just it makes me

1328
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 2: so nervous people walking up to my kids. You're sitting there,

1329
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 2: sitting very ready. Yes, and sure, if they skate up

1330
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 2: on a pair of roller blades, I'm all for a thrill.

1331
01:03:56,440 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 2: I'm all for that novelty. But to have somebody it

1332
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 2: makes me feel bad that they had to come from

1333
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 2: the store. It's also like, usually it's dark when I'm

1334
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 2: at a drive through, it's like I'm I'm putting, I'm

1335
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 2: a sitting duck, I'm a target, and I don't like

1336
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 2: the nervous feeling it gives me. It's a.

1337
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 3: I think that's fair.

1338
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 2: Just pass it through the window. Let's make this.

1339
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:23,919
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean, look if if I could just change

1340
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 4: it so that the windows were easier to reach.

1341
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 3: That's what I would do.

1342
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 2: The problem is with uh, when you need more options

1343
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 2: with windows on your car.

1344
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's there.

1345
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 2: Your car just needs a ton more windows that you

1346
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 2: can Or it's just.

1347
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 4: Like the windows there need to be closer to where

1348
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 4: my car window is, like on the level, because then

1349
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 4: I don't have to be as close in order for

1350
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 4: them to reach, because the problem is we're going diagonal.

1351
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, those windows, the restaurants need to lower them a

1352
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 2: little bit.

1353
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 3: They need to lower them. Get I want them to

1354
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 3: be down on my level.

1355
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all at a bad place right now.

1356
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 4: To be a little bit, those restaurants need to be

1357
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 4: sunk into the around slightly.

1358
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 2: Or the employee should be on their knees, kind of

1359
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 2: shuffling around on their knees. Is that too much to ask?

1360
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

1361
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 4: Or the food should be on like a little shoot,

1362
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 4: like a little slide, like a trash shoot in New York.

1363
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 2: To just have drinks and food sliding in your car,

1364
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 2: food every milkshake. Just I don't see any problem with

1365
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 2: any of our ideas. Okay, so you've gotten one out

1366
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 2: of two so far. I don't know what to say

1367
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 2: about that.

1368
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 3: But it's an f f.

1369
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 2: Uh. This final one is from somebody, Uh, Carla give

1370
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 2: her a curse. The introduction chapter in a book.

1371
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 4: Oh, I think it depends on if it's written by

1372
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 4: the author or written by a different person, because and

1373
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 4: even then, I don't know if that changes the answer

1374
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 4: in the affirmative of the name, I'm going to say, curse.

1375
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 4: Just get into it. If it's interesting, I'll like it.

1376
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 2: You're absolutely speaking my language. Get out of the way.

1377
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 2: I don't need anything put at the back of the book.

1378
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 2: I don't need you coloring what my thoughts on what

1379
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 2: the book is going to be. Also, I've already committed

1380
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 2: to reading. I don't need more reading than has to

1381
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 2: do with the thing I wanted to read.

1382
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,439
Speaker 4: I'm perfectly capable of reading it, deciding I'm lost without

1383
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 4: an introduction, and then just stopping.

1384
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 2: I don't need your health.

1385
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 3: Production really going to help that much.

1386
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 4: Like, I think it only really makes sense if, like

1387
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 4: the author died while writing the book, and they're like, look,

1388
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 4: i'll tell you when in the book he died, and

1389
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 4: like that's why certain things are messed up in this book.

1390
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 2: That's why this shouldn't have been published.

1391
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean that's the thing. Don't publish books

1392
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 3: that are half written. That's messed up.

1393
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 2: No, no, no, those are should be free online.

1394
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 4: Or they should be finished by another person, like another

1395
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 4: like a trusted person.

1396
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 3: Should come in and finish them.

1397
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely not, there's no way that could work.

1398
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 4: I mean it works, and all your favorite TV shows

1399
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 4: we have when they get a new showrunner that never

1400
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 4: led to any terrible seasons of television.

1401
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 2: But it is odd with like TV or movies. If

1402
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 2: I see that two people wrote it or whatever, I'm

1403
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 2: like fine. But if I see a book was written

1404
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 2: by two people, I'm like, that's garbage. There's no way

1405
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 2: that's good.

1406
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 4: Even though writing a book is so much harder than

1407
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 4: writing TV, writing TV is so easy.

1408
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 2: Books should be written by armies of people. Yeah, there's

1409
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 2: so long. It's very backwards.

1410
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 4: But they do have like a little bit of a

1411
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 4: cheat where it's like they can just say what.

1412
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 3: The characters are thinking.

1413
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 4: Have to like, you don't have to show anything, you

1414
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 4: don't have to be artful about that. It's just like, oh,

1415
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 4: you're just telling me, fine, very fancy of you.

1416
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 2: Authors are frauds.

1417
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, they should die and have other people take over

1418
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 4: their books.

1419
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 2: Every authors should be dead and their new authors should

1420
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 2: spring up to finish their work. Well, you got two

1421
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 2: out of three.

1422
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 4: That's pretty good. That's about a D. That's a solid D. Yeah,

1423
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 4: deplug plus. I don't know, I should know at this point.

1424
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 2: I've given a lot of ds on this podcast, but

1425
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 2: it's not a failing grade, which we love. Excellent job

1426
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 2: and you've finished so strong. This is the final segment

1427
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 2: of the podcast. It's called I said no emails. People

1428
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 2: write into I said no gifts at gmail dot com

1429
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 2: and they have problems. We all have problems. My listeners

1430
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,680
Speaker 2: have the worst problems, and it's frankly very annoying that

1431
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 2: they ask for my help. But we're going to do it.

1432
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 2: And I'm not even gonna ask if you're gonna help me.

1433
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 2: I've just assumed you're on board. I'm really on board, Okay.

1434
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 4: I love telling people what to do, especially when they

1435
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 4: can't tell me that they're not going to do it

1436
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 4: right away. I'm assuming that they will follow my word

1437
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 4: to the letter.

1438
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 2: You've improved their life and you don't have to think

1439
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 2: about it again. Yeah, this is hello. Bridger and likely

1440
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 2: esteemed guests. So a great guest on this person's part.

1441
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 2: If this makes it to you, well it's not a

1442
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 2: letter in a bottle, sweetie. If this makes it to you,

1443
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 2: I hope you are both enjoying yourself on some level.

1444
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 2: Oh that's very nice. Okay. At work, I have just

1445
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 2: finished project managing the publication of my boss's first book.

1446
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 3: Oh, oh, my gosh.

1447
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 2: The book's proceeds benefit the nonprofit we work for. Nammy, Nami,

1448
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 2: nam I. Oh what is that?

1449
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 3: I know what that is?

1450
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 2: National can't think of it now. Associations on a leash

1451
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 2: get into it. We'll keep reading here. But he wants

1452
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:33,520
Speaker 2: to get both me and our research assistant a project

1453
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 2: and gift. My colleague has asked that he pay for

1454
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 2: her next tattoo as her gift. That's a big ask.

1455
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 2: So the world seems to be my oyster as far

1456
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 2: as asks go. However, I have no clue what I

1457
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,640
Speaker 2: want or what's appropriate for this sort of gift. I

1458
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 2: am twenty six and love traveling, the outdoors, pop culture,

1459
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 2: and my job, and currently live in DC. Any insights

1460
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 2: are welcome, as I have never had an open gift

1461
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 2: offer like this before with gratitude Jordan, and this is

1462
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 2: a different Jordan. There was a lot of things, uh wow,

1463
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 2: coming together, and.

1464
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 3: This question is what do I want? That's what they're asked.

1465
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 2: And it seems like the world is her, it is

1466
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 2: her oyster and Onnlyish's.

1467
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,799
Speaker 5: The main nammy that I found was the National Alliance

1468
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 5: on Mental Illness.

1469
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 4: Oh pa, I'm glad that it wasn't like the National

1470
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 4: Alliance of Maga monster.

1471
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 3: I specs. I don't know. I would not be supportive.

1472
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 2: Of We would shut down Jordan's thing right now. But

1473
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 2: Jordan's doing great work and uh deserves a gift.

1474
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 4: So my first thought, and I think this is dependent

1475
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 4: on how Jordan feels about her coworker, which is like,

1476
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 4: get ask your boss for enough money to bribe the

1477
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 4: tattoo artist to do a different tattoo than what her

1478
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 4: co worker asked for and not tell the coworker about it.

1479
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 2: So the coworker ends up with something they did not ask.

1480
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, and then it just cancels out. No one

1481
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:05,679
Speaker 4: gets anything, the organization falls apart, right Yeah, morale hits

1482
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:06,879
Speaker 4: an all time Wow.

1483
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 3: That's a perfect gift. That's not what your goal is.

1484
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,719
Speaker 4: It sounds like your goal is to get something you want,

1485
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 4: which that doesn't really work.

1486
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 2: For But she does love traveling. Okay, the outdoors. Pop

1487
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 2: culture lives in DC. I was just in DC. Odd.

1488
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 2: It's always an odd city to be in.

1489
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 3: Why because you're just like Watergate happened here.

1490
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 2: I stayed it Watergate, Well, hey, that you brought on yourself.

1491
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 2: I will say about the Watergate, they've tried to like

1492
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:41,520
Speaker 2: hip it up and every like all of their marketing

1493
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 2: and branding is like they clearly have one joke, which

1494
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 2: is like you'll have to break in, So it's like

1495
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 2: the key card is like you don't have to break in,

1496
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:50,680
Speaker 2: and then like the mini bars, like you don't have

1497
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 2: to break into the snaps. If we only had one idea,

1498
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,679
Speaker 2: maybe we shouldn't have done this. Yeah.

1499
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 4: I also just feel like it's there's more they did

1500
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,679
Speaker 4: more than just break in. That wasn't the only thing

1501
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 4: that they did wrong. There was more to that whole incident.

1502
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 2: There are a lot of things you can pull from

1503
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 2: to make your hotel. Yeah, it's like talk.

1504
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 4: About the flashlights, talk about the committee to real life,

1505
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 4: the President, talk about like the files, talk about talk

1506
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,879
Speaker 4: about anything other than just the break in stop calling

1507
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 4: attention to your security failures.

1508
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:26,880
Speaker 2: Also, speaking of Watergate, I'm and Jordan, forgive me. I

1509
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 2: just want to go on a little thing here. I

1510
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 2: was at Goodwill recently and found a book by Richard Nixon,

1511
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 2: and it was funny to see the first page was

1512
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 2: like also by Richard Nixon, and just to see that

1513
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 2: our favorite author.

1514
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:41,560
Speaker 4: Like, if you enjoy this, great news, this is not

1515
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:42,799
Speaker 4: the only thing he's written.

1516
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 2: Maybe, Jordan, maybe you get the whole collection of Richard

1517
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,440
Speaker 2: Nixon books. That's a gift.

1518
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 3: Test, Okay, I do have an idea for a good gift.

1519
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 4: Let's talk it for And this is something that I

1520
01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 4: don't think Jordan would buy for herself, but that would

1521
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:04,799
Speaker 4: benefit her life, which is to get a really nice,

1522
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 4: high quality suitcase.

1523
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

1524
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:09,719
Speaker 3: Yes, because you're twenty six years old.

1525
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 4: Guarantee the suitcase you're using has maybe two years left

1526
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:14,839
Speaker 4: on it max.

1527
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 3: It will be trash.

1528
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 4: But if you get a nice one, then you'll use

1529
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 4: it for a long time. It was just a tattoo

1530
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 4: cost a lot of money, it's how dog it is.

1531
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think probably at least.

1532
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 2: Three hundred, right, so you could get a decent at

1533
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,839
Speaker 2: least carry on, yeah, or like a good backpack or something.

1534
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 4: You know what, get a carry on because then you

1535
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 4: can use it for either you know.

1536
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,719
Speaker 2: I'm mostly a carry on person at this point anyway.

1537
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 3: You know what I love doing is carrying on.

1538
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 4: But then when they're like we've oversold, does anyone want

1539
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 4: to check their bag at the gate?

1540
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 2: You take care?

1541
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 3: I love that because you're nervous, you're not paying for it.

1542
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 4: It's definitely safer than anything else because the plane's already there.

1543
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 3: They're taking it onto the plane. It's like it's more.

1544
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 4: Guaranteed to get on the plane than when you check

1545
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 4: it of the best, right, and especially if you have

1546
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 4: a if you have a layover anywhere, it's like, oh,

1547
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 4: I hate, like take it all the way there for me,

1548
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 4: I don't want to. I don't want to lug this

1549
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 4: thing or like for a mile at O'Hare.

1550
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 2: But then you're at the carousel. So why the carousel the.

1551
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 3: Last one on the plane, so it's the first one off.

1552
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 2: Oh that's true, that's very true.

1553
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 3: Thought a carousel for or last? I don't quote me

1554
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:33,680
Speaker 3: on that.

1555
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 2: Oh well, I mean what makes logical sense? I mean, yeah,

1556
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:38,679
Speaker 2: if I were packing a plane.

1557
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 3: Depends on where you're going.

1558
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:43,760
Speaker 4: But I personally think unless you're like going somewhere right

1559
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 4: after you get off a plane, that part of your

1560
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 4: your trip always takes longer than you think it's going

1561
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 4: to anyway, so it's like it's another twenty minutes.

1562
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 2: I don't like to hear this. That makes me. The

1563
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 2: last two flights on they were threatening, They're like, we

1564
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 2: have to do this and we only have I was like,

1565
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 2: please don't let this be me. I can't have one

1566
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:02,799
Speaker 2: other thing I have to think about.

1567
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:06,679
Speaker 3: But your I think it's worth it.

1568
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 4: It really depends on what's in your carry on, and

1569
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:11,720
Speaker 4: it really like if you need any of it during

1570
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 4: the flight, obviously that's again in the ass, but like,

1571
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 4: just to not carry it is so great to not

1572
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 4: have to wheel it around and not have to deal

1573
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:19,599
Speaker 4: with it.

1574
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 2: You make a decent argument, but you're not going to

1575
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 2: convince me. But I do think you have an excellent

1576
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 2: point for Jordan. Get a good piece of luggage that's

1577
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 2: not going to fall apart. Yeah, it'll last you a

1578
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 2: very long time. It will be such a big part

1579

Speaker 3: I can't wait for you to get going with this.

1592
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 4: You are going to say out loud to yourself alone,

1593
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 4: how did I live without this?

1594
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 2: As I'm reheating soup and collecting bugs around. Yeah, my

1595
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:30,240

01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:50,679

Speaker 4: soupless torture.

1602
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,639
Speaker 2: I've had my eye on the soup this entire time.

1603
01:16:56,680 --> 01:17:01,280

1608

1611
