1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear.

2
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: When you're a guest to my home, you gotta come

3
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: to me empty. And I said, no, guests, your own

4
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff, So

5
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: how did you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: Welcome to? I said, no gifts. I'm pretcher wine girl.

7
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: Oh that continues to be my biggest challenge. It just rained.

8
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: We're in the backyard, of course, so the air could

9
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: not be crisper. And the only real situation is the

10
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: leak in my garage that I thought I had repaired.

11
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely did not hold. Do not ask me to repair

12
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: your garage. Let's stop talking about it. I'm ready to

13
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: get into the podcast. I love today's guest. He's incredible.

14
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: It's Paul Fige. Hello Bridger, Paul, Welcome to. I said

15
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: no gifts.

16
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: Thanks so much. I was going to ask you to

17
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: fix my garage.

18
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: But if you die, I've lost the job.

19
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: All yeah, I'm sorry.

20
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: Oh god, Well, let's just shut down the podcast. You

21
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: can go home. You got lost on your way.

22
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: Here, I did, I did. My GPS screwed me.

23
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: And you went to Van Nins. Yes, which is very

24
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: much the other direction.

25
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: It's totally the other direction. And I thought it was

26
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: sending me on some route that was really clever because

27
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: I wasn't sure where I was coming to, but I

28
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: had gone somewhere in Van Eys yesterday and for some reason,

29
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: it made that my first stop on my way to

30
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: sue you.

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be kind of like a sneaking around

32
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: way if you were going like a sneak attack.

33
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: I want to actually go around the world and meet

34
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: you by coming the other.

35
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: Way, which I would have appreciated. Yeah, big entran, I mean.

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: And then the other thing about your entrance is you're

37
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: now storing some things in my fridge.

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: I am, I am. I'm storing some eggnog and some

39
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: heavy cream for cocktails I will be making at this party.

40
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: I'm going to Christmas Beautiful, So this is a stop

41
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: on your way to a party.

42
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: Yes, to a Christmas party exactly.

43
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: And you're dressed very appropriate.

44
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: Well I would normally be wearing a suit and tie,

45
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: but not this one, right, I'm wearing a very christmasya.

46
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: How many suits do you own?

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: Quite a few, I would say, between the three places

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: that I live, because I live in London, New York,

49
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: and here, I dare say, there's one hundred suits spread

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: across this globe.

51
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: And let me ask you. Have you always worn suits

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: or is this like in the last twenty years.

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: No. When I was a kid, I always wore suits.

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: I actually got my first suit when I was about

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: nine years old, got a three piece suit. I loved,

56
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: a Pierre Carden. It's a very spicy number. And then yeah,

57
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: then I I kind of you know, I you know,

58
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 3: I'm an older man. I grew up in the disco era,

59
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 3: and so when I was in high school, like from

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: seventy six to eighty, it was very disco oriented and

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: so I, you know, you always dressed.

62
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: Up for right right?

63
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

64
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: And do you have any of those suits left over?

65
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: No? I wish I did. There's actually some suit I honestly,

66
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: you know, you look at like Tom Ford these days

67
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: and it's so inspired by the know that with the

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 3: big lapels and everything. So I usould have just hung

69
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: on everything I had.

70
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: What's the oldest suit you're currently own?

71
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: What is my oldest suit? I got some really old books.

72
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: I gotta say, I think my oldest one is probably

73
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: I would there say, twenty years old.

74
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

75
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, great.

76
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: And is it still in the rotation.

77
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: No, but some other ones have been bumped up. I

78
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: had some fifteen year old ones that I had retailored. Okay,

79
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: so I have a really great tailor in Beverly Hills

80
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: who can take like a suit that's out of style

81
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: and kind of put it slightly back into style.

82
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: That's incredible. Yeah, and of course you hold on to

83
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: them because they can circle back.

84
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: That's exactly it. There's nothing worse than getting something. Then

85
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, you know, like if I had that,

86
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: I could have worn it.

87
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: Oh, hunting failing. Do you just think about a piece

88
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: of clothing tragedy, absolutely horrible and you have basically a uniform?

89
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 3: Yes?

90
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: Does it make life feel easier or are you still

91
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: stressed about what you're wearing?

92
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: Well, it'd be easier if I just wore the exact

93
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 3: same suit every day, you know, like like Jeff goldbloom

94
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: in the Fly or whatever anything he had, like, so

95
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 3: he didn't you have to use any extra brain power

96
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 3: or Steve Jobs. I think to that.

97
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: Oh Steve Jobs, I've heard.

98
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

99
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: No.

100
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: I have a lot of stress about my wardrobe. It's

101
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: not so much figuring out what I'm gonna wear. It's

102
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: more during the day, like making sure everything is not

103
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: falling apart. Tie is not cricket very anal very anal.

104
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: Right, And let me ask you this, what do you

105
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: wear to bed?

106
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: Well, I'm I'm actually in the buffer fantastic exactly, but

107
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: I have nice pajamas that I wear before.

108
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So is there any point in the day

109
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: where you're like in a T shirt?

110
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: If I'm for my workout, I do a morning walk

111
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: every day, oh okay, four mile walk, So for that

112
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 3: I will put on a T shirt and sweat sweatshirt.

113
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: And are those do you feel like you really pick

114
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: those to belong within your style or those truly just

115
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: for comfort des are?

116
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all swag. Every T shirt I've ever gotten

117
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 3: for free from a production gets worn when I go out.

118
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: So that's the only time of the day that we

119
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: might catch you looking like a slob.

120
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. If you were to go to my local

121
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: coffee shop where I have breakfast every day, you chances

122
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 3: are you will see me like that. The funny thing

123
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: is because I'm usually in there in that, so when

124
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: occasionally come in a suit, they're so surprised and yet

125
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 3: everybody else will be surprised to see me in sweatpants.

126
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: Oh that's so fascinating. Do you have any other rituals

127
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: like this in your life or is this the one

128
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: big thing?

129
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: Um?

130
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's probably the main one. I mean yeah,

131
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: I would dare say that's you know, other other than

132
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 3: you know, liking cocktails and making stuff like that. But no,

133
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 3: that's the thing that you know, daily I have to

134
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: do with is you know how I dress right?

135
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: And as far as like today was raining, Yeah, do

136
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: you have a raincoat you throw over the suit.

137
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: No, I'm more of an umbrella guy and you just

138
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 3: kind of dash to the dash to the car. But

139
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: when I'm in you know, New York or London, then

140
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: I do have raincoat. It's getting hard to find good raincoats.

141
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: I will say, Oh, really like functional rain raincoats.

142
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: Where are you looking for them?

143
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: Well? I like to go to like, you know, I

144
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: want a proper like for over a suit kind of

145
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 3: a raincoat. And they used to make ones that were

146
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: just like you know, like it was a shell, looked

147
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: like you know, a man's raincoat, right, But now it's

148
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: either got to be like a big trench coat, from

149
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: berbery and they're not that they're not waterproof ale out

150
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: of them. Oh, I know, it's very weird, like it's

151
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: hard to find just like a lightweight long, you know,

152
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: down to your knee kind of you know, not duster

153
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: but a shell or something that. Right, I can put

154
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: throw pono, but why would I do that?

155
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: Add to the rotation.

156
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: That's if I can make a make poncho stylish, I

157
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: would be I'd be all, yeah, there are some beautiful

158
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: actual poncho as opposed to rain ponchos.

159
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: Right right, yeah, I feel like I could, I should

160
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: throw a poncho in the road. Take I appreciate that

161
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: support you could.

162
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: Friend, and I always we always want to bring back

163
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: like antiquated men's fashion stuff, and we're really obsessed for

164
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 3: years about trying to bring the cape back.

165
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: Oh the cape. I feel like somebody is going to

166
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: eventually nail the cape.

167
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 3: I think. So the problem is is so not functional?

168
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, what what does it offer?

169
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: Not much unless you want to be like Dracula and

170
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: cover your face or you or try to fly off

171
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: a building.

172
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: I get or say I'm wearing a cap, Well, that's

173
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: exactly that's the reason you wear a cape. Do you

174
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: own any capes or have you tried to wear one?

175
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a couple and I've tried to wear them,

176
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: but they're they're really you really get stared at me.

177
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: It's just such an affect where it's just like people

178
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: this jerk.

179
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, because you know, I use a walking stick

180
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: a lot, like when I direct. I just love walking sticks.

181
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: I don't need it. I needed it would be a cane,

182
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: But I like walking with the But that you have

183
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: these mornings, You're like, did I want to have that

184
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: many people staring at me today? Because you know it's

185
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: either going to drag the tenent or people are gonna

186
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: get them up and say something right, And.

187
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: I feel like even because you you are always so

188
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: nicely dressed, Like if you're at the grocery store, are

189
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: people taking a look?

190
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: H yeah you do look well? Well No, here's what happens,

191
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: my friend, is wherever you are wearing a suit, people

192
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: will come up and ask you questions because they think

193
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: you work there. Oh interesting, anywhere you're at the airport,

194
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: excuse me, yours a bathroom? I don't know what any Yeah,

195
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: because there's some about a man in a suit and tie.

196
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: They just assume you work there.

197
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: They assume you're mister lax, you own the airport.

198
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: No, I know, I wasn't like the lounge the other week,

199
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: and I mean I couldn't walk the length of it

200
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: without like it. I think like three people ask me

201
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: a different question about the lounge, like do you just

202
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: assume I know the lounge so well because I'm a

203
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 3: frequent flyer, or no, it's because you think I work here.

204
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: You should take advantage of that power.

205
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: I just send them done terrible. So whatever you want,

206
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 3: it can only be revenged. That's all I could ever

207
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: do with it.

208
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: You hope that you run into like a low level

209
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: anime that you can kind.

210
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 3: Of eactly say, right out that door, right on that door.

211
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: Here's a question. Is there anything that you do badly?

212
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: I mean I was thinking about the garage and me

213
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: my horrible attempt at fixing a leak. Right I should not.

214
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: I should have just had somebody do it.

215
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you know, but I mean but that you

216
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 3: kind of want to save money. Sometimes you want to

217
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: feel like a DIY or too.

218
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: Well, I would feel incredible, But I mean every DIY

219
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: I've ever attempted has failed What do you do poorly?

220
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: What's something you're like? I wish I was better.

221
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: At anything sports related. Oh sure, anything that requires coordination,

222
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 3: to be quite honest, and I always think I can

223
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: do it, and it's always a disaster.

224
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm very much on the same page with you there. Yeah,

225
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: let me ask you. Do you like badminton?

226
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: I do like bad mote. I enjoyed playing the sports.

227
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 3: I'm just terrible at them.

228
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: Okay.

229
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: I started playing pickleball with a friend of mine. I

230
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 3: might have a shot at that.

231
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: The way it's taken the world by storm is remarkable.

232
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 3: It's why I think I think it's just for older folks,

233
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: but maybe the younger generation.

234
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 2: Everybody's doing really everybody except for me, of course, because

235
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: I have not been given the opportunity. And it scares never.

236
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: But you're into pickleball and you feel like you're improving.

237
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: I've only played twice. Okay, well, but I wasn't a disaster,

238
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: that's all I know.

239
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: Well that's a pretty good thing. Sign two games in

240
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: and you're decent at it.

241
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: Ye, Well, yeah, I'm not embarrassing at it. For those

242
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 3: of the those are your audience that don't know what

243
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: pickleball is because up until a few weeks ago, I

244
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: had no idea what right, right. It's basically like a

245
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: ping pong that you can stand on the table because

246
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: you have these solid kind of you know whatever, they

247
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 3: are rackets, and the ball is like a little whiffle ball,

248
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: so it super light and bounces, and then the cord

249
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: is like the you know, the size of somebody's driveway.

250
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: Right, Are you going to like a community pickleball court?

251
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 3: That would be sad. It's like I've joined a very

252
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: high end pickleball club. It's very exclusive. I'm sorry you

253
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: and your friends.

254
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, Yeah, I guess I should give. I feel

255
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: like I played pickleball in high school. Any game with

256
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: a solid, hard piece of plastic scares me. I feel

257
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: like i'pen to get hit by it.

258
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 3: Well, I'm with you. This one's pretty light though. Okay,

259
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: but yeah, because I remember having to play like hockey

260
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: floor hockey, Oh, being the goalie and just getting smacked

261
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: right in the floor. Horrifying pucks.

262
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: Floor hockey is that you're on foot? Yeah yeah, yeah,

263
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 2: that doesn't seem like a good game at all to me.

264
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 3: No, it was, it was. I don't know if it's

265
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: played beyond grade school. But all I know is that they,

266
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: you know, there's not I hate about sports and playing

267
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: sports and all that. There's everybody else is so into

268
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: it and it's so competitive and they just you know,

269
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: how many times have I been like on a show

270
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: and we started a softball team. You got to come

271
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 3: out and play. It's gonna be so much fun. It's

272
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 3: never fun. It's always fucking terrible because there's always some asshole.

273
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: You come on, then you can pick that up, you

274
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: go throw it. It's like, all right, I'm out. You

275
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 3: know what, this is not fun.

276
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: This was meant to be fun, and we've turned it

277
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: into a horrible, horrifying business.

278
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's always somebody who's super competitive.

279
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 2: And better at it than everybody else, of course.

280
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 3: Of course, and though they want you to be at

281
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 3: their level and we're just there to like to goof around.

282
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 2: Do you like watching any sports?

283
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 3: I used to be into baseball. I found kind of fun.

284
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: But then I honestly I had like season tickets to

285
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: the Dodgers back in the nineties, and then when they

286
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: had this big strike it was like a year long

287
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: strike that shut down baseball was kind of like it

288
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 3: made it not fun anymore. Oh that's right, it's a business.

289
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: Yes, this is all about money.

290
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

291
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 3: When I'm in England, I actually can enjoy watching cricket occasionally.

292
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: Oh sure, that's fun. It's a very win in rome situation,

293
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: very much.

294
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: So. Yeah.

295
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: I feel like for the last probably at this point

296
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: eight years, I keep saying I'm going to get into basketball.

297
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 2: When the season rolls around, I'm gonna start, I'm gonna

298
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: pick a team, and absolutely has not.

299
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: It's just too much mayhem for my test. You know

300
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: about like baseball and cricket or forever is like okay,

301
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: one person comes up and watch them do their thing.

302
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 3: Then it goes you know, like you know, I tried

303
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: to watch the World Cup and it's just like what's happening?

304
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 3: Everybody's running around and then it's like suddenly there's a score.

305
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: You know, I will say this about soccer. I love

306
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: that the clock starts ticking and you know it's going

307
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: to be over.

308
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, totally that's true. But that's why I you know,

309
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 3: I talked to a lot of my my British friends

310
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: because they're always like, what is you know this a

311
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 3: soccer football take off? Over here? He said, it's because

312
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: Americans we are so goal oriented that you got to

313
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: know when it's gonna end. Like you watch a soccer game,

314
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, it's almost over. Oh no, oh, and

315
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: there's two and a half more minutes because of penalty one,

316
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: you know, and then it can end in a tie

317
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 3: or no score, and like that's just so not American.

318
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: No one ever gets to just tie. No, no, someone

319
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: must be defeated.

320
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. It's not going to movie and go and

321
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 3: there's no ending. We just go home.

322
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: Well, look you we're obviously both huge jocks, and we

323
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: could talk about sports all day.

324
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: Yes, but there.

325
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: Is something else I wouldn't mind talking to you about.

326
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 3: Lea.

327
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: Obviously, you ran into some trouble getting here, and then

328
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: you show up and you rudely ask to use my fridge.

329
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 3: Exactly.

330
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: I'm putting all of these things aside. I'm thinking we'll

331
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: just get to the podcast. It'll be fine.

332
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: Let's get them out of here, just get.

333
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: Through it, just deal with it. And then of course

334
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: there was another surprise. Yes, the podcast is called I

335
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: said no Gifts.

336
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: I'm a rebel. I'm a rebel.

337
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you showed up with the eggnog and everything. Put

338
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: that in the fridge. And then you had two objects

339
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: that are clearly gifts. They're in gift wrap. You handed

340
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: them to me. Are these gifts for me?

341
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: They are? I'm sorry, I just I can't show up

342
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: without a gift. You can tell me not do what

343
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: I will do.

344
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: It they're okay, Well that's not a behavior I expected

345
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: from you. Why I thought, you know, I thought Paul

346
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: is somebody who's in control. Well, he respects boundaries, Well,

347
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: he doesn't stir the pot.

348
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: Well, this is my way to control the situation. So

349
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: it's actually control freak.

350
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: Highly manipulative. It's sickening to see this sort of thing

351
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: happen on my podcast.

352
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: I know, I know.

353
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: Well, should I open it here on the show?

354
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: Yes? Please open your gifts? Okay, open a small one.

355
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: Okay, there are two, Yeah, there are two different objects here.

356
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: One's kind of a round thing and then the other's

357
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: more of a a rectangle thing. You know, I know

358
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: my shapes, so I'm going to open this round thing first.

359
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: It's an interesting uh hoalase, I'll hold the mic while

360
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: I open this on. Lias is in a striking jack

361
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: it as well. Everyone's really well dressed.

362
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: They stepping it up.

363
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: Let's see. Oh, this felt way harder than I expected.

364
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 3: I think it's a little old.

365
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: It's a lemon, which I was like, is this going

366
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: to be a whiffle ball? It was so hard.

367
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: I should have brought a pickleball. I know, had I

368
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: know we were going to venture into pickleball territory.

369
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: But then we would have exhausted the conversation. I would

370
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: have just had to move on from the ball. Why

371
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: are you giving me a lemon? It's a well, let's

372
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: say it's an average looking lemon.

373
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's not the greatest lemon. Well, it's it's

374
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: part of a part of a set. Oh is it

375
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 3: part of this out?

376
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: We're going to open it up? Well, let's yeah, let's

377
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: open it.

378
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 3: We can dwell on the lemon if you like, we'll

379
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: get back.

380
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I've got thoughts on lemons. On Lisa's returning.

381
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: To hold the mic, I wish I'd brought even more presents,

382
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 3: just so could never get We're.

00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: cute rap. Is that a Scottie dog?

00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,240

00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: Career.

00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: It's a citrus squeezer.

391
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: It is.

392
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: This is okay, So, first of all, whatever we end

393
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: up talking about wonderful. This is such a practical, wonderful

394
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: thing for me to own.

395
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it seems like a lot.

396
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: Of people give me. Let's be honest, things are that

397
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: are unusable. They're cluttering my home.

398
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: Oh I've heard that. Yeah, I know, I know. I

399
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 3: don't want to add to clutter because my life is

400
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 3: trying to get rid of things that I don't need.

401
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is something I can put in the kitchen

402
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: drawer and actually used. But I'm curious as to why

403
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: you brought these things.

404
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 3: Well, I like to make cocktails, and then I find

405
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 3: that in cocktails you do use a lot of fresh citrus, right,

406
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 3: you know. And I don't want you, if you're going

407
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: to make a cocktail to go to the store and

408
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: buy one of those like plastic lemons. Squeeze that horrendous

409
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 3: whatever that is out of it. It's supposed to be

410
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 3: lemon juice. I want you to be classic when you

411
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 3: have friends over you want to make a cocktail, you

412
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: pull this out.

413
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 2: It's so yeah, so Alton professional, Well that's exactly it. Okay,

414
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: So you're very much into cocktails. And is this a

415
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: long time thing or is it like you've slowly developed

416
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: this interest. What's the deal?

417
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 3: Well, to me, cocktails always stood for everything I wanted

418
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: my adult life to be because it made it was cool. Right. So,

419
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: like I I've told this story before, So if an

420
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: your listeners have listened to me on other.

421
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 2: Podcast, just go forward writing that bad review.

422
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: That's right. No, when I was about five or six,

423
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 3: my parents took me to Las Vegas because they were

424
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: going to see a fight, like a Muhammad al Leaf fight,

425
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 3: and and so they were going to put me in

426
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 3: the nursery at the casino nursery. They went casino nursery.

427
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: I know there used to be a casino nursery. Yeah,

428
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: this was like the dunes or I know, one of

429
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: one of those old ones.

430
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: Could you smoke there too?

431
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 3: You know you could ask. That's where I had my

432
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 3: first martini. No, but so you would kind of you

433
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 3: couldn't go. The kids couldn't walk through the casino. Now

434
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: I think kids can walk in Oh yeah, but you

435
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: have to go around the outside or this like outside

436
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 3: like outer rim and in the for some weird reason,

437
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: the nursery was a glass sliding door right there that

438
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 3: looked out on the casino floor. So I guess you

439
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: could watch your parents lose, lose your college money, just

440
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: ruined their line exactly. So they put me in there.

441
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: And so I'm up against this window staring out. I

442
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 3: didn't want to be in there because I hated other

443
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: kids when I was a kid, because I just wanted

444
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 3: to be with the adults. And I'm watching this, you know,

445
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 3: grown up playground of people. And that's when people dressed

446
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 3: up nice, right, They're drinking cocktails, they're smoking and all

447
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: this Now just the they go like, God is my witness.

448
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: I'm going to be that, like you know, and so

449
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 3: as a kid, it just like but to me, seeing

450
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 3: people sipping like Martini's was just that was the thing

451
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 3: that stuck in my head.

452
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: Oh that's lovely. Okay. So at a very early age,

453
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: you decided this is going to be me. Do you

454
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 2: have siblings?

455
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: No?

456
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, so there was no sibling that like fell

457
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: by the wayside as a slob while you were soaring.

458
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: No, no, I did not have an odd couple situation.

459
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: Okay, And so now I have these things, and are

460
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: there any cocktails you recommend I make?

461
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 3: Well, I mean squeeze er aside. I'm a martini guy.

462
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 3: That's my favorite.

463
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: Classic yeah, classic, classic.

464
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it has to be made very the correct way, right,

465
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 3: to be very cold, very dry.

466
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: When you're at a party or some sort of mixer

467
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: or airport lounge, like, are the drinks being served to

468
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: garbage and you're usually unsatisfied?

469
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 3: Well, it depends. Yeah, it's I mean, if you're at

470
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 3: a place that doesn't kind of specialize in cocktails, and

471
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about those real some some I just

472
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 3: find obnoxious because the mixology is so over the top,

473
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But just like you know,

474
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: you like like like Polo Bar in New York, you know,

475
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 3: or Bemmelman's or something like that, or here you know,

476
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: the Roosevelt or then you know, they're just like they're

477
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: making you know, Musso Franks. They make like a great martini, right,

478
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 3: you know, and it's just old school. Yeah, but I've

479
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 3: the martinis go off the rails so easily. It seems

480
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 3: like the easiest drink it's one of the hardest drinks

481
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: to get right for some weird reason.

482
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: What does it take to make one correct?

483
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 3: Well, First of all, it's personal taste. So some people

484
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: like a very wet Martin which has a lot of

485
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 3: remouth in it. Most people don't. I don't, and so

486
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 3: I like just like a drop of vermouth or even

487
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 3: just a rinse where you rinse the glass with it first.

488
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 3: But I do like I'd rather have it in it

489
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 3: because I'd rather have it mixed with it right, right,

490
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 3: So if there's too much remouth and it's like, uh,

491
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 3: that's kind of a drag. And then if it's not

492
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 3: cold enough. That's the biggest sin I find a lot

493
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 3: of places, is that it's in it like it's lukewarm.

494
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: It's the room temperature, right. I've heard of this rinsing

495
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 2: before this is I don't. I don't drink, and so

496
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 2: this is all so fascinating too. But the idea of

497
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 2: rinsing a dish before putting another thing in, just for

498
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: the touch of flame, it.

499
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 3: Kind of you know, you're seasoning the glass with it.

500
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: It's so fascinating.

501
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: It is good that you don't drink. You look, but

502
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 3: is it good because I'm only forty years old. This

503
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 3: is how bad I like from drinking. No, Paul is.

504
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: He is not doing well.

505
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 3: He's lived a hard eighteen lives or eighteen years and lives.

506
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: It's a problem. No, I don't think it's good or bad.

507
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 2: It's for me. It's not really a it's I grew

508
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: up Mormon, and so it's like, uh, not nice.

509
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 3: Well, my editor at bread White is mormonal.

510
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 2: Oh you're kidding. Yeah, I mean, there are a lot

511
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: of good things, a lot of bad things, but it

512
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: just was a thing that I never did, and then

513
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: it just followed me into adult life. And so but

514
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: the whole world is fascinating to me because I still

515
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: feel like such a baby about drinking. I know nothing

516
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: about it.

517
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 3: Well, there's nothing wrong with that, But now the juicer

518
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: is even more important to you.

519
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, making my grapefruit juice, making my lemon juice,

520
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: my trees here, finally fruiting some sort of things, so

521
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 2: I'll be able to use it for those and when

522
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 2: my friends come over to drink. There you go, I

523
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 2: can make the Maybe I should teach myself a few

524
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: little well.

525
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, Well, I have a cocktail book

526
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: that just came out. Oh you should get that, and

527
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 3: it's got one hundred and twenty five recies.

528
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: Work did you put into the cocktail book? Like? How

529
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: long did that take you? I'm curious.

530
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 3: It was a pandemic. Oh, of course, because I did

531
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 3: a live show on Instagram one hundred days in a row,

532
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: every day at five o'clock to raise money for charities,

533
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: and to teach myself how to make cocktails.

534
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: Oh that's amazing.

535
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so it just kind of came out of that.

536
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: People were like, oh, put out a book with the recipes,

537
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: and then it just grew into this whole thing of

538
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 3: how to throw a cocktail, powder, how to stock your bar,

539
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 3: and then every drink comes with like a funny personal story.

540
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: Oh sure. Was that purely enjoyable to write or did

541
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: it become stressful? No?

542
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 3: That was fun. That was a lot of funk. Something

543
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: like that is fun because it's not you know, writing

544
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: scripts is stressful. It's all like how do I do

545
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: it in the shortest time? How do I you know,

546
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 3: I mean, how do I make each scene short and

547
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 3: get it across and then the story in a track?

548
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: And it's just so stressful. So like I do that

549
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 3: writing in the morning and then the afternoon like, oh

550
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 3: good night, just gonna write something dumb.

551
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 2: Just something that's so far removed from what you actually do. Yeah,

552
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 2: did you do develop your own cocktails?

553
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 3: Yeah? I do. I've got about twenty originals.

554
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: And twenty and do they each have a different name, Yeah,

555
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 2: they have different such as well, there's a fig teeny

556
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: of course, which had to be in there.

557
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: Actually it was called the quarantine. But then when nobody

558
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: wants to think.

559
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: Of it, that's a bit of a bummer at this point.

560
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 3: Exactly, we're all done with that. But no, I have

561
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 3: one called the Squeaky Door, which was for my wife

562
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: because when we would shoot our show is out in

563
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 3: my guest house and she would always come into the

564
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: end to try the drink. But our guest house door

565
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 3: is super squeaky, so people would hear that and they go, oh,

566
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: there's a squeaky door. Youre can floor you. And so

567
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: that I just whatever herd called the squeaky door.

568
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 2: What's in the squeaky door?

569
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 3: A lot of stuff in the squeaky door. It's got

570
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 3: like cherry hearing in there, and it's got orange cirasow

571
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: and it's got gin of course, and a bunch of

572
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 3: several ingredients and then it's then it's on the rocks

573
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: with a club soda. It's a very refreshing drink.

574
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: Now, why haven't you fixed the squeaky.

575
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: Door because it just became part of part of our lore.

576
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 3: It would be sad. It would be sort of you know,

577
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 3: like Seth Rogen making his voice melodic and British accent.

578
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, yeah, you're just stuck with it now.

579
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: It's part of your brand, the squeaky door.

580
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 3: I know that door opened and there's no squeak.

581
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 2: I would be very like it moved out or something.

582
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 3: And then I could be murdered too, because nobody's in here.

583
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 3: I didn't hear the arts squeak.

584
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 2: And then, yeah, squeaky door is kind of a natural alarm.

585
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting. My dog doesn't alertic to anything if

586
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 3: enyody's in the house.

587
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: No, so you said your dog lives in England full time.

588
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's in England.

589
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: Did he start in the US.

590
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's only moved to England in the last like

591
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: half a year.

592
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 2: I guess, okay, And is he enjoying life there?

593
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: He loves it. According to my wife, she's like, he's

594
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 3: so happy. He's like, is he happy? Yes, he's obsessed

595
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: with black cabs.

596
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 2: Oh, right, of course he's.

597
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 3: A black cab. He will run and jump in.

598
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: Does he like riding in cars?

599
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 3: Yeah?

600
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: He does, Okay, he does. What was why did you

601
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: make the decision to send him away to England? Because

602
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: my wife wanted him there.

603
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 3: Well, my wife she wants to be based there. That

604
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 3: the home base, and we've been living there pretty much

605
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 3: for the last four years because my last two movies

606
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 3: shot in the UK and then I did Post and

607
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 3: all that. But now I'm kind of all over the place,

608
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 3: so she just wants a base out of there because

609
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: I'm never around anyways.

610
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, So how much over your year are you

611
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 2: now spent? Is it London you're living in?

612
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it just depends on what project I'm on,

613
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: because yeah, like I said, you know, the last four

614
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 3: years we were there, we were back here for the

615
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: for the pandemic, for the lockdown. Fortunately, we were actually

616
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 3: supposed to be there where they were renovating the place

617
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 3: we were going to rent, so we would have been

618
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: stuck in it commpletely not finished the Yeah, so this

619
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: worked out great to be here but yeah, but I

620
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 3: you know, like this year, I'll be living in Atlanta

621
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: for the coming up in the next four months to

622
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 3: do post and then I'm probably going to do post

623
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 3: you know, shoot it there and do post here, so

624
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 3: I belong to the world.

625
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: Do you like being all over the place? It keeps

626
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: things interesting.

627
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,960

628
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, interest. Yeah, I have. I struggle on an

629
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 2: airplane physically. It is so difficult for me.

630
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,320

632
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,520

633
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: I just need a lobotomy or something, because even the

634
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: destination at this point doesn't matter to me. It's just

635
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: all pain and wanting.

636
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,960

Speaker 2: much time in Atlanta?

651
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,600

653
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,159

00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 3: ever spent there. Oh.

658
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: Interesting. Will there be a lot to explore there?

659
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was just there for this last week to

00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 3: scouting locations and it was nice. It was really nice.

661
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 3: Found some good food. I'm going to gain a thousand

662
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 3: pounds there though, because that's Southern cooking, so good and

663
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,120

00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 3: Oh? My god, biscuits and gravy, delicious, Shrimp and grits.

666
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 3: That's my favorite, my obsession for breakfast.

667
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 2: I've never had shrimp and grits. You have it for breakfast? Yes,

668
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 2: it's so often.

669
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 3: I had it every day of the week when I

670
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 3: was here this last week because because I know I'm

671
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 3: not going to be there. But when I go back,

672
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: I can't do that every day, right, Although I do,

673
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 3: I do them as lowcale as you can. I don't

674
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,320

675
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 3: cheese grits. Oh, regular grits, and then the shrimp is

676
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 3: in there, and then I don't have any like bacon

677
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 3: on it or anything. And they sometimes I'll put like

678
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 3: a cream sauce. I don't do that.

679
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: Wow. It doesn't really go all out with Oh you

685
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: You can have as much hot sauce as you want.

686
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,200

Speaker 2: Oh interesting, are you a tabasco io?

693
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,800

694
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 3: But I don't like those Like I like hot, but

695
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,200

Speaker 3: your mouth and then butole. You know, it's kind of like,

697
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,040

698
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 3: hours after I eat.

699
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need it to be just enough to excite me. Yeah,

700
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: and add some flavor.

701
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 3: Exactly if it becomes painful and I'm not getting anything

702
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: other than pain.

703
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a whole other category of the psychology. There

704
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: is a fully different thing. Yeah.

705
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: Anytime, like you know, the name of the hot sauce

706
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: has death or he exactly, then I'm out. I don't

707
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 3: need that.

708
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's interesting. I've never thought of shrimp as

709
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: a breakfast food.

710
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it can be, you know, I don't. I'm not

711
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 3: a fan of just breakfast food, you know what I mean.

712
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: You're not like an eggs and bacon person.

713
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I can eat them, and I do, but

714
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: I don't find that's what I look forward to, like

715
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 3: the greatest experience I ever had. We were in Italy

716
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: number of a few years ago and staying at this

717
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 3: place where they just kind of they will go, well,

718
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 3: we'll make you whatever you want for breakfast. I was like,

719
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 3: can I have like Penny arabiata with chicken? Yes? It's like,

720
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 3: oh my god, this is the greatest thing ever. Yeah.

721
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 3: So I can stay away from breakfast.

722
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: With them, but you do have breakfast somewhere here every day,

723
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: and what like, what are you ordering for breakfast?

724
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 3: My breakfast is I have a chicken breast with steam broccoli.

725
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: Paul, This is absolutely fascinating. That is absolutely fascinating. My

726
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 2: boyfriend and I went to breakfast with a friend a

727
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: couple of years ago and she got I believe, chicken

728
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: soup and a glass of wine. And it was, what's happening?

729
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 3: The glass of wine? Is that's the great one?

730
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? So this is, uh, this is very close to that.

731
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 3: Will You'll be surprised how many people I see at

732
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 3: this coffee shop order mimosas in the morning. Oh yeah,

733
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,640

737
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: or whatever, those little sidecars. Oh sure, I'm just like, oh,

738
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 3: that just something seems sad.

739
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: About No, yeah, that's if your mimosa should be part

740
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: of a light brunch yea where you're chatting with friends

741
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: in the sunshine at the counter.

742
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 3: You know, it's kind of I don't know, but God

743
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 3: bless anybody for you know, I don't. I don't want

744
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: to judge even I just did.

745
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Meanwhile, you're gobbling down a chicken breasts and broccolike

746
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 2: like I'm the weirdo.

747
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 3: Exactly.

748
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: We're all weird, right, we all have something going on.

749
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: So then for lunch and dinner, what's what's your go to.

750
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: Lunch? I struggle with the most. I just find that's

751
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 3: the hardest meal to kind of figure out.

752
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: Confusing time of day for mind and stomach.

753
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I because I'm basically gluten free. I have

754
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 3: been for years and years, So like it's grabbing a

755
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: sandwich is hard, right, but I like to get like

756
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 3: a wrap and like when I'm shooting my movies, all

757
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 3: I ever have is a turkey rap for lunch. Yeah,

758
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 3: turkey rab with pickles and then like a you know,

759
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: the bag of Durido's or something like that.

760
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: That's very much like an airplane meal.

761
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. It is that that's where that's where

762
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: I don't want to have any kind of you know,

763
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: extra strake, you know, like having a uniform. My uniform

764
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 3: is my turkey rap.

765
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: I have got to settle on a lunch meal because

766
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 2: I waste so much time in the middle of the

767
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: day and so much energy thinking about what I'm going

768
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: to eat.

769
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, because dinner is this like destination at the end

770
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 3: of your day, and that's fun, like we're gonna eat

771
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 3: and all that stuff. It's like, I gotta eat lunch.

772
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 3: What am I gonna have?

773
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: So frustrating, But then for dinner you're just doing whatever

774
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 2: you want.

775
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

776
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you have any particular favorites.

00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: Like everything, I'm a foodie, my friend, Yeah, but I

778
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,000

779
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 3: to an Italian restaurant, get something you love, a steakhouse,

780
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: get a good steak, going to a Mexican restaurant, having

781
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 3: Mexican food. Mexican food was sometimes I'll do that for lunch,

782
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 3: but then it just wipes me out for them, of course,

783
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 3: because I just eat too much.

784
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 2: Can I ask where you're going for Mexican Mexican food

785
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles.

786
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 3: Well, my favorite place was Gardens of Tasco.

787
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: Oh where what was that?

788
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: Well it was in West Hollywood on Harper and Santa

789
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 3: Monica and is there forever. I mean he was there

790
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 3: from the early seventies and they were famous for they

791
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 3: didn't have any written menus. The waiter would come and

792
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 3: recite the menu, but it had jokes in it, the

793
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: same jokes all the time. One of the jokes was

794
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 3: something about this cream chicken with the cream sauce, and

795
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 3: it tastes like the chicken was born in that sauce.

796
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 3: But they'd like drag out the born with this thing,

797
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 3: and we'd all laugh every time. We used to go

798
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: there twice a week, I mean for twenty years. You

799
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: bring people like, Okay, here comes a joke. And the

800
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: other one was, oh, the mole poblano in a very

801
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 3: spicy sauce, not hot, spicyy. They would drag that out

802
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 3: really long. We'd all laugh.

803
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 2: We need to get back to restaurants with novelty events.

804
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, when I was growing up, there's a place called Farls,

805
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: which was an ice cream parlor restaurant, and I just

806
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 3: had every birthday there, and my goal in life was

807
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 3: to be a waiter at Ferrells because it was all

808
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 3: like Banjo's all that kind of you know, that kind

809
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: of nineteen twenties thing. But they would all come over

810
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 3: with jokes and then like, if you order for my birthday,

811
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 3: you get to think called the Zoo, which was it

812
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 3: was a giant like punch bowl that they'd fill with

813
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 3: this ice cream every just you know, every syrup and

814
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 3: nuts and all that stuff, and then when you ordered it,

815
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 3: they put it on this kind of stretcher and then

816
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 3: two of them would run around. They would run around

817
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 3: the restaurant lifting it up and down, and music was

818
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 3: playing and everyone cheer, and so I just thought that

819
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 3: was the greatest thing ever. Then then I think called

820
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 3: the pigs Trough, which was a giant Sunday and if

821
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: you finished it, they'd come over and announce to the

822
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: to the you know, the restaurant, you were officially a pig,

823
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 3: and they would.

824
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 2: Give you like like shame and a lord yeah exactly, and.

825
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 3: You're like, oh my god, I'm in the spotlights. So

826
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 3: that was good.

827
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 2: Did you ever know someone who finished the Trough? Ah?

828
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I say, I think I finished it. It wasn't

829
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: that big. I mean it was big, granted, but when

830
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: I was a teen I could rob that.

831
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing how the body kind of begins to

832
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: fail you as far as eating massive amounts of food, well.

833
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 3: Especially when it's tons of ice that never goes well.

834
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 3: Cream and shook exactly. But just to close the book

835
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 3: on Guards and Tasco, they are still open, but they

836
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 3: moved out of that restaurant. Now they are takeout only,

837
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 3: but they are a Santamonic of Boulevard and it's the

838
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 3: greatest food.

839
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 2: Okay, the food is good, but you just don't get

840
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: the jokes anymore.

841
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 3: Jokes.

842
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: What an absolute drag that is to Okay, so we've

843
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: learned that you failed your life goal to be a

844
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 2: waiter at the ice cream. What a shame for you.

845
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: I know, that's really too bad. Do you still like

846
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 2: ice cream?

847
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 3: I like ice cream. Ice cream doesn't like me, It

848
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 3: doesn't really, no, but I like it. But once I

849
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 3: made ice cream and you're like, oh my god, like that.

850
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 3: Nothing puts you off ice cream more than seeing how

851
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 3: much fat goes into ice cream because it's all solid,

852
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 3: that's all it is, butter and cream whole Milken.

853
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 2: But I feel like one major thing Los Angeles is

854
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 2: missing as an ice cream parlor, which makes perfect sense

855
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 2: for this city. I feel like people would really get

856
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 2: on board with that.

857
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, because there used to be Schwabs where everybody got

858
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 3: discovered and you know, back in the in the day

859
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 3: in old Hollywood, and you.

860
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: Know, I'm not familiar with Schwabs.

861
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 3: Oh Schwab. That's a famous that's where, like I mean,

862
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 3: I don't think Maryland or Roll got discovered there, but

863
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 3: like famous old movie stars would. They'd be working as

864
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 3: soda jerks or whatever, and the thing and that was

865
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 3: the famous place where people get discovered.

866
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, And is Schwabs? Did that eventually become like

867
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: a truck like a frozen food service that was like

868
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: in trucks that would drive around.

869
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: It may have, I don't know if they were.

870
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 2: They were related, Okay, yeah, I remember a bizarre service

871
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: as a kid that their truck would drive around and

872
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 2: sell you frozen meals or something.

873
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 3: Oh really, Oh interesting, somebody tried to sell any sushi

874
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 3: out of their trunk once. That cannot be the hottest

875
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 3: day in the valley. I was going to the Guitar

876
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 3: Center back way back when in instrument and Oaks and

877
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: I came out and the guy's like, I got one

878
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 3: more thing of a sushi in the back if you

879
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 3: want to buy it. It's like it's one hundred degrees out, sir,

880
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 3: Why would I possibly do that?

881
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: Did you get a look at the sushi?

882
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: No?

883
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 3: I didn't want to see it.

884
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: What could have possibly been happening?

885
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 3: Though?

886
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 2: That is someone who is trying a very bad assassin entrepreneur.

887
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 3: It's a very bad assassin.

888
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 2: Do you play guitar?

889
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 3: Yeah?

890
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: I didn't know that.

891
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 3: Guitar and drums? Yeah? Do you do it?

892
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 2: Not? How long have you been playing in my whole life?

893
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: Oh?

Speaker 3: a period where I was actually writing a lot of

902
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 3: music and recording and I had a recording studio. Yes, yeah,

903
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,120

00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 3: a noodle around it.

929
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: Do you ever consider releasing those things in any way?

930
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess I probably could. I never

931
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 3: thought of it. There's some that are kind of fun.

932
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 3: There's something that I would never let him.

Speaker 2: Here, right of course, But no, I was kinda it

934
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 2: was fun.

935
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess space Funk's my most famous famous

936
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 3: one to get out in the world.

937
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: Did you get paid for space Funk to put it

938
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: in the show?

939
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 3: No, I give it for free. Good for you. Yeah,

940
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 3: I think BMI or one of them, and they had

941
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 3: to pay me, like, you know.

942
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 2: Right, just like legally they had no choice.

943
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's still not available anymore. Wow. Yeah, I know.

944
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 3: I wish you get it released on Spotify.

945
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 2: I should be on Spotify or something. Yeah, I mean

946
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 2: Freaks and Gigs has kind of a history of music

947
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 2: licensing issues.

948
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally. That's what killed us. That's the only song

949
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 3: that would have gone forward if we gotten the rights.

950
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: Vere you should have replaced every other song in it

951
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 2: with space That would be a very interesting.

952
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 3: Show if we ever do a sequel there it is.

953
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 2: Was there ever talk of doing more Freaks and Geeks?

954
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was always talking, but I wasn't. I mean,

955
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 3: right when we got canceled, we were hoping we were

956
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: going to get picked up an MTV did step up

957
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 3: and wanted to do it, but they couldn't give us

958
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 3: the budget. What Yeah, I mean we were always you know,

959
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 3: the show was it was expensive.

960
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: Actually yeah, the music alone, right, it's a period piece.

961
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 3: Well, that's why we had so much trouble because we

962
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,479
Speaker 3: only licensed the music for to be able to air

963
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 3: on network TV. Right, So then when they want to

964
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 3: put on DVD, they had they you know, they had

965
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 3: to rework all the contracts and that's why nobody wanted

966
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 3: to do it. And we had music that we had

967
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 3: recorded that Mike Andrews, our composer, had done for International,

968
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 3: and it was so I don't know, not clear headed

969
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 3: back there's like, oh International cares. It's like, so they

970
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 3: were out in the world without the songs in it.

971
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 3: It's like and it's long. I mean, that's there's like

972
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 3: a character in the movie.

973
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a different show.

974
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then when they want to put those out,

975
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 3: it's like, no, I can't. I'd rather not have the

976
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 3: show out.

977
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: There right too, Right, Yeah, that's that feels I guess

978
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 2: incredibly short sighted on the network's part to be like,

979
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 2: we'll just do this limited song deal.

980
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 3: Yeah. They never know. They never think, you know your

981
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 3: show is going to be I mean, they figure they'll

982
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 3: deal with it down the line, because you know, that

983
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 3: was when you have to go into syndication, so you

984
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 3: need to leave one hundred episodes, so that's you know,

985
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 3: they kick the can down the road.

986
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was terrible at the time that it

987
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 2: got canceled as quickly as it did, But is there

988
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: some part of you that's like, I'm happy that it

989
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 2: didn't go for fifty seasons and eventually get ruined.

990
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally. Oh no, very much so I kind of look,

991
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 3: that's why when people go like, oh, you know, you

992
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 3: do a you know, a reunion show, and like, you

993
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 3: know what all we can do is fuck it.

994
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, even the best version won't be like

995
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 2: what some people want it.

996
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the only good thing is, like my

997
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 3: problem with the most reunion shows is it's just a

998
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 3: chance to watch and go like, ooh, look how old

999
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 3: everybody is. You know, but our show was so young

1000
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 3: that its like and then they're all famous.

1001
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: Right, they all look great still yeah, but.

1002
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,720
Speaker 3: It's just I don't know if I had some brilliant idea. Sure,

1003
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: but I'm very much as a James Brown fan. You say, hit,

1004
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: hit it, and quit it. That's what I am very

1005
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 3: much a fan of.

1006
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: I think. Yeah, I feel like people are learning that

1007
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 2: lesson more and more to just.

1008
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 3: Like leave it be. Yeah, you got away with it.

1009
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 2: Yes, don't toy with it anymore. People will be furious. Well,

1010
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 2: I think it's time to play a game. Oh please,

00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 2: to name three things you're gonna tell me if there

1046
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 2: are a gift curse and why, and then I'll tell

1047
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 2: you if you're correct or not, because there are objectively

1048
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 2: correct answers.

1049
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 3: Now, where did my number come into play?

1050
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 2: I had to. I have this a truly insane looking

1051
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 2: Google doc that I well, now the listener. Listeners are

1052
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 2: just helping out. They send in suggestions, I drop them in,

1053
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 2: and then I do I use the number to randomly

1054
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 2: pick to make sure it's a fair game.

1055
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm fine with that.

1056
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 2: Okay. This first one is from a listener named Liz,

1057
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 2: and she suggested gift her a curse real estate videos

1058
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 2: that feel like movie trailers.

1059
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 3: And this would be gifted.

1060
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 2: No, this is just like your oh your thought. Do

1061
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 2: you think it's a gift or do you think it's

1062
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 2: a cri humanity? Yes, I think that's a curse.

1063
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 3: I don't like anything that fakes out, kind of like

1064
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 3: like just watching TV the other day, watching MSNBC, and

1065
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 3: like some ad came out that tried to look like

1066
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 3: the newscasts. Yeah, and he's like, oh, come on, really,

1067
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 3: like we're not falling for it, you know, but clearly

1068
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 3: they think your might.

1069
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: So no, okay, you think that's a curse.

1070
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:05,959
Speaker 3: I think it's a curse.

1071
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: Oh Paul, I hate to hear it. Oh no, it's

1072
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 2: a gift.

1073
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 3: It is.

1074
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 2: I love it. The world of real estate is fascinating

1075
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 2: to meals. I feel like there's an arms race with

1076
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 2: reeltors to be as wild as possible and to just

1077
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 2: create things that are like this has nothing to do

1078
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 2: with homes, and they're all just kind of making very

1079
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 2: interesting choices that we get to kind of enjoy and

1080
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: just live in.

1081
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I like realtors swag. I as everything it's

1082
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 3: just got their picture on it. So it's a notepad,

1083
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 3: it's a pen, it's a coffee cup, and it does

1084
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 3: that one picture of that person. And like there's been

1085
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 3: some realtters in our neighborhood, I mean for years, and

1086
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: this is the same picture.

1087
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 2: I love a real litor headshot. Everything about it is

1088
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 2: always fun to look at.

1089
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 3: It looks like they're done when when I don't know

1090
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 3: if they had this when you were growing up, but

1091
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 3: we always didn't go to like and even you have

1092
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 3: these portrait and you get your portrait taken, Oh sure

1093
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 3: had that look of like a high school photo, you know,

1094
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 3: And so that's what I always feel those there must

1095
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 3: be a real litor like photography center somewhere.

1096
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 2: I would maybe I should open one. I'd love to

1097
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 2: take photos of ree litters for a living.

1098
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 3: Come on, that would be great.

1099
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,280
Speaker 2: I mean, speaking of seers and things going on in series,

1100
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 2: let me ask you this. The seers near me growing

1101
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 2: up had a dentist in it. Does this sound remotely

1102
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 2: familiar to you?

1103
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 3: It doesn't sound familiar, but but it makes perfect sense

1104
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 3: because seers used to kind of have everything. Oh that

1105
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 3: was where you would go for like everything. I mean,

1106
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 3: the day of that kind of department store is gone right,

1107
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 3: thanks pretty much.

1108
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 2: Department stores are very much on their way out of business.

1109
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Malls, my god, you're just scouting an abandoned mall

1110
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 3: and in Atlanta. Oh that's weird. You know, it's like

1111
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 3: the apocalypse.

1112
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 2: I need to write something with a mall, an abandoned

1113
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 2: mall that just will allow me to go on scouts

1114
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: to look through these better do it haunting experience.

1115
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 3: It really is. It's really and it's kind of sad

1116
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 3: again as an older man. You know, when I was

1117
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 3: growing up, malls were everything. Of course, the center of

1118
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 3: the universe was the mall, and now it's it is

1119
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 3: a nice thing to still go back to. Yeah, but

1120
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 3: the mall walkers, where do they walk?

1121
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 2: I love to be in an empty mall. Okay, well,

1122
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 2: you got the first one wrong and it's horrifying to watch,

1123
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 2: I know, so, but you have two more chances to

1124
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 2: kind of redeem yourself. Okay. This next one is from

1125
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 2: a listener named Pete after a curse gummy vitamins.

1126
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 3: Oh there's a gift. I would dare say, why because

1127
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 3: I actually take one for for cholesterol. Oh I don't

1128
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 3: even I don't even know what it is, but I

1129
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 3: just my friend gave it. Okay, sure, Yeah, I'm taking

1130
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 3: vitamins as as a bummer, like swallowing pills as a drag.

1131
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 3: And there's there's this one potassium pill I just got

1132
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 3: that I like to take, and it's those chalky ones.

1133
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 3: Every time the first attempt, it gets stuck in my

1134
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 3: throat and I almost like throw up, and then it

1135
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 3: gets trapped on the way down. That's the worst. When

1136
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 3: you get like a vitamin stuck in that pain It

1137
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 3: won't go away.

1138
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: What is that pain? It feels like it's in your ribs,

1139
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 2: you know exactly.

1140
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 3: It's drinking and swallowing and get down, get down, and

1141
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 3: try to eat something to k not get down.

1142
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 2: The chalky ones are the there's no excuse at this point.

1143
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, I know, we're living in a civilized world.

1144
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there are so many different textures of vitamin

1145
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 2: or it can be.

1146
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 3: They can put some something slick on it to get

1147
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 3: down your gullet.

1148
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 2: Not resemble a neck a wafer in any way, right, exactly. Okay,

1149
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 2: so you're saying gift.

1150
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 3: I am saying gift. I have a feeling I'm about

1151
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 3: to lose.

1152
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm right there with you. I love look, I

1153
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 2: love it. I mean my absolute favorite vitamin. I haven't

1154
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 2: had one since I was a child, but sun Kissed

1155
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 2: made a type of vitamin that were delicious.

1156
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 3: Oh, like a vitamin C. Yeah.

1157
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 2: They were like a chewable that we hadn't gotten to

1158
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 2: the gummies at that point. I like Flintstone's chew right,

1159
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 2: but I will say the Flintstones ones were disgusting. They

1160
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 2: had a real weird aftertaste. This was the perfect vitamin.

1161
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 2: But I like a chewy vitamin.

1162
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1163
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 2: I'm also going to recommend and I haven't talked about

1164
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 2: this in a long time on this podcast. Brazil nuts.

1165
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 2: You should be taking two brazil nuts a day. My

1166
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: cholesterol was at the high end of normal, right, my

1167
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 2: therapist recommended. This was the only piece of advice that

1168
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 2: therapist gave me that I took into my life. Take

1169
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 2: two brazil nuts a day. My cholesterol lowered. It's amazing. Really,

1170
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 2: I can't recommend it enough.

1171
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 3: I'm rushing out to get brazil brazil nuts.

1172
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 2: Everyone hates them. They are sort of like the outcast

1173
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: of the nut mix. They are, But I'm telling people

1174
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 2: they're not that bad, and it's kind of a hearty

1175
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 2: snack that does something for you.

1176
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 3: I think it was great. Yeah, maybe I can get

1177
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 3: off my statins.

1178
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 2: Then yes, please. Okay, well you've gotten one right so far.

1179
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 2: That's not too bad.

1180
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 3: It's the tie breaker.

1181
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 2: Okay. And now Mike has suggested gift to a curse

1182
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 2: people who go jogging with their dogs.

1183
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm going to say it's a curse. And why

1184
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 3: because I don't think the dog has anything, you know,

1185
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 3: and we all know dogs love to run. But at

1186
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 3: the same time, I don't know if the dog was

1187
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 3: really up for the run that you wanted to go on,

1188
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 3: you know. And also also it's just I you know,

1189
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 3: I could never jog with my dog because he just

1190
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 3: wants to stop every five minutes and smell everything and

1191
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 3: go to the bathroom everywhere, So, you know, so then

1192
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 3: you're denying them that pleasure. They can run with you. So,

1193
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:20,800
Speaker 3: unless it's a super sporty dog.

1194
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,959
Speaker 2: Right right, a Scottie dog is not a running dog.

1195
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,280
Speaker 2: They're kind of a neighborhood wanderer.

1196
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 3: They have their occasional bouts of room springer where they

1197
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 3: run around and then they'll just flop down.

1198
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 2: You got it. Yes, I think this is a curse

1199
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 2: in so many ways. Leave the dog out of it.

1200
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 2: It's unfair. It's it's like, go do your jogging on

1201
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 2: your own. I mean this also falls into the category

1202
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 2: of people jogging with a stroller running with the stroller,

1203
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 2: which feels like such a show off move. I don't

1204
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 2: need to just if you have to run publicly, right,

1205
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 2: do it on your own. I don't want to know

1206
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 2: anything about what else is happening in your home. Totally,

1207
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 2: don't push a stroller, don't drag your dog along with you.

1208
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 2: It's one hundred percent curse.

1209
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 3: I was wondering how babies feel about being because they

1210
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 3: don't know that they're being pushed. They don't see what's

1211
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 3: happening behind them, so they're just in this out of

1212
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 3: control thing that's flying down the street. Yeah, this is

1213
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 3: a love of therapy. I think could go back to

1214
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 3: my earliest memory was going very fast, no one was.

1215
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 2: There, absolutely no context for the situation. Yeah, we've got

1216
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 2: to think about those babies and toddlers who are just terrified.

1217
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 2: They're hanging on for their lives. You got two out

1218
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 2: of three.

1219
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 3: Oh, I win.

1220
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 2: You certainly don't win, Paul, but you don't lose. And

1221
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 2: that's amazing, you know.

1222
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 3: All I ask is.

1223
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 2: Very impressive. Congratulations. This is the final segment of the podcast.

1224
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 2: It's called I said no emails. People write into I

1225
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 2: Said no gifts at gmail dot com. My listeners are

1226
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 2: desperate people. Their lives are horrible, and they are seeking

1227
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 2: help from me and now from you. Will you help me?

1228
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 3: I would love to help.

1229
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 2: All right, let me get into the dock here and

1230
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 2: get a question happening. Okay, this says deer Bridger and guest. Hello,

1231

1232
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 2: so forward, but I must cut to the point immediately.

1233
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 2: My husband's thirty fourth birthday is coming up, and I

1234
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 2: need some advice on what to get him. He is

1235
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 2: a reformed chef who now works on trees. He likes

1236
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 2: PC games, garage, rock, and knives. Here's the thing. He

1237
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 2: has a talent for giving me gifts that are really

1238
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 2: for him, such as screwdrivers and a Nintendo switch. Oh no,

1239
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 2: that's a bad okay. I work in surgery and like cats,

1240
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 2: girl power, blood and guts parentheses see occupation. I'd like

00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 2: neuter at home kit.

1278
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 3: Now, the problem is he likes knives, so oh, I

1279
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 3: wonder there's side. But do you use a knife or

1280
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 3: is it more like a needle or something a laser? Oh?

1281
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, put you laser. A cat out of commission, out

1282
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 2: of procreation.

1283
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 3: I don't know. We have to look in them.

1284
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 2: Is there some sort of pill that you can give

1285
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 2: the cat that?

1286
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: Uh?

1287
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean yeah, I just I'm doing us

1288
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,439
Speaker 2: not to do a call exactly. He's the callback king,

1289
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 2: I am. He's built his reputation on it. No, I

1290
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 2: think that that's not aboud idea. I mean, we don't

1291
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 2: know if there's actually a cat in a picture, why

1292
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 2: not bring home a cat?

1293
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 3: Oh that's true? Oh yeah, well maybe.

1294
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 2: And maybe like a bag of raw meat. She loves

1295
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 2: blood and guts. You're kind of strewing that about the

1296
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:18,919
Speaker 2: house for the cat.

1297
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,760
Speaker 3: Actually get a cat and then get a whole cage

1298
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 3: of mice and let him loose, and then the cattle,

1299
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 3: you know, do its thing and tear him apart, and

1300
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 3: then she gets everything she wants.

1301
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 2: She brings the cat home. He's wondering what's going on.

1302
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 2: He has this beautifully wrapped gift. He opens it. Suddenly

1303
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 2: mice swarming everywhere. Everything makes sense.

1304
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 3: Cat's tearing them apart. There's blood and guts everywhere. It's

1305
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 3: like like a horror show. And he's out working on

1306
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 3: a tree.

1307
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 2: Susan's completely satisfied and the birthday is perfect for everybody. Paul,

1308
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 2: we answered it in an ideal way.

1309
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 3: I think we did. I think and honestly, since there

1310
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 3: isn't a home, you know, neutering and spaining cat, I think,

1311
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 3: just get a cat. Get a cat and a bunch

1312
00:55:58,680 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 3: of mice.

1313
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 2: I think that I Susan can't complain about this. No,

1314
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 2: she has to be happy with our antswer. Unfortunately she

1315
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 2: is not on the podcast, so she can't complain. I'll

1316
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 2: block her email if she does try to complain. Yes,

1317
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:14,920

1345
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,600

1346
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:41,439

1347
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,680

00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: Thought I made myself perfectly clear. But you're I guess

1354
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: to my home. You gotta come to me empty, And

00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:25,919
Speaker 1: already had too much stuff, So how do you dare

1357
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:27,680
