00:00:08 Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here. I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests, your presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff, So how do you dare to surbey me? 00:00:47 Speaker 2: Welcome to? I said, no gifts. I'm Richard Winecker. Oh, I hope you're having a nice day. I I haven't done anything yet. Let's I currently have a little bit of a blanket over my knees. So if I'm bringing more of a grandmotherly energy than usual, that's what's going on. I can't quite find the temperature that's right for me. I have a jacket on, and I can already feel myself overheating. So who knows what the next hour or so will bring. So just hang in there, because we have a wonderful guest today, someone who I find very very funny, and I'm excited to talk to him, and you're going to be very excited to listen to him. So let's welcome Jay Jurden. Jay, Welcome to, I said, no gifts. 00:01:36 Speaker 3: Hello, wonderful to meet you, Bridger. Thank you for having me. 00:01:40 Speaker 2: It's so wonderful to meet you. This is a whole new part of the world where I'm meeting people NonStop over zoom. Okay, and you know, it's a you never know what's going to happen. You could end up being a disaster of a person and then let's just trapped on a zoom call for an hour. It's the risk you have to take. 00:02:00 Speaker 3: That is a possibility. It's smaller, it's I think it's on the lower end of probability, but it could happen. 00:02:10 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know where that would go from here. If suddenly you were just kind of a maniac trying to keep you on the line this sort of thing, or does somebody just storm out of the zoom. 00:02:21 Speaker 3: I think what happens is you see one party slowly unravels because they realize they're stuck. 00:02:29 Speaker 2: You just feel the sweat through the microphone. 00:02:32 Speaker 3: When it's what happens whenever you make a joke to someone and you realize that your sensibilities are a bit different, so you say something facetious and then they agree in earnest and you go, oh no, and usually you can leave. It's like when you make a joke about the space laser. The Jewish space laser. And now it's the equivalent of someone going yeah and. 00:02:57 Speaker 2: Wait what because the backing up leads to an argument, but the allowing it that to just go, you're just going to be digging yourself deeper into deeper into whatever this person's cave is. Yes, and that's terrifying. But on a zoom, I've never stormed out of a zoom. Maybe it'll happen at some point. I feel like they're probably seen. 00:03:17 Speaker 3: I've seen something I think is worse than storming out of a zoom. I've seen people busy on a mobile zoom in a setting where everyone else was stationary and set and kind of tied and respecting the zoom space enough that they blocked off an hour. I've seen people like on phones it's you hear a lot of this and like doors opening and stuff closing and kids like that's to me, that is chaotic to me. 00:03:50 Speaker 2: To me, that just shows a fundamental lack of knowledge about how to run a zoom. Turn mute, mute yourself, turn off the video firm that there are so many ways to hide that you're not part of the zoom. I mean, if you don't want to be present you don't have to be. You can fake it pretty easily. I don't know how often are you want to zoom these days? 00:04:13 Speaker 3: At least once a week, multiple times a week kind of I want to say, at the end of last year, when I was doing zoom comedy shows and podcast appearances and a podcast co hosting gig and any sort of like meetings regarding things I'm attempting to create and sell to media conglomerates. Now, I guess we can call them companies. 00:04:37 Speaker 2: But like, really, say, one of the three things that owns. 00:04:42 Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the three things that owns everything, which I love listen, I don't hate it. But at that point I was zooming a ton just at least at least three or four times a week. I was on a different zoom situation. 00:04:56 Speaker 2: Do you ever do it like a social zoom. 00:04:58 Speaker 3: I've done a few soul zooms. I was invited to a friend's zoom once and I was not a big part of the friend group pre last March. 00:05:11 Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay. 00:05:12 Speaker 3: They were like, oh, this is Jay and I was like, yeah, and I know a lot of y'all digitally, but this is our first time zooming together. So that happened, and sometimes my friends will set up drunk zooms, and one Bridger the last drug zoom, I attended a person who was drunk, like drunk on the zoom. They ended up saying some of those things. If we can tie back to the beginning of this conversation, they ended up going to a place that we all thought was a joke, but in earnest, they ended up saying, you'd never really want to tell everything that people say when they're drunk. You're like, I don't know who that person was, but they were defending some indefensible characters. I was just like, Oh, we were like joking about sticking up for that piece of shit. You're for real. 00:06:07 Speaker 2: Oh so the people they're talking about are they famous people or just people that you just like in personal situations? 00:06:14 Speaker 3: Oh, I think there's there's a spectrum. There was a range because we were making fun of famous people and then they were like defending not semi famous and some people famous in different media spaces, podcast men and a few like famous men. 00:06:33 Speaker 2: I was one of them. 00:06:34 Speaker 3: No it wasn't you, but they weren't a man, So I thought they were making a joke. 00:06:39 Speaker 2: Oh whoa, Yeah, it was they were complicated. Oh no, have you spoken to them sober since? 00:06:49 Speaker 3: No, because I don't need to. I don't think. 00:06:53 Speaker 2: Was the person drunk coming into the zoom or was it like Shauna has entered the zoom and she's wasted. 00:06:59 Speaker 3: This is how down Bridger. I got a Twitter DM from a friend who was the host that was like, come on, we're drunk on zoom. Here's a link. And I didn't have anything to do. I was eating my shake shack in my kitchen. I was like, sure, why not? So I get on the zoom and we're being silly, saying silly stuff, saying hey, and then this person says something that we all agree is silly, but they meant it. And that's kind of how the situation went left. 00:07:26 Speaker 2: And has there been any discussion about that since? About that person? 00:07:31 Speaker 3: There was discussion about it immediately after they left the zoom, most definitely. 00:07:36 Speaker 2: As she passed out. 00:07:39 Speaker 3: As she realized that maybe she needed to like shift topics. And then when it finally was over, I remember talking to two people on the zoom and I was like, wow, that was like this was just supposed to be drunk and fun, and we still found a way to ruin a digital party. 00:07:58 Speaker 2: Well, the thing with a digital party is that, like, let's say that when somebody's drunk and belligerent, they have the microphone for as long as they want. That's the worst part about Zoom. It's just like we are being held captive by whatever this person won't stop talking about. And like, if you have a huge group of people, like if two people are speaking to each other, we're all just listening to those two people have a conversation. At a regular party, I can move on. I hate yeah, So I don't know zoom. So the social aspect of Zoom, I can get on a FaceTime with one to two other people. When we've got fourteen people, we're essentially all an audience to two people's conversation at a time. I mean, you're very brave to go on a thing where you're like kind of friends with a bunch of people. 00:08:41 Speaker 3: I like danger. I'm not scared. I'm missed out on having my rebellious teenage chat room like exploration phase. I never did that right back in like the early days of the internet. So I'm not scared. 00:08:58 Speaker 2: Were you online and just not getting in the rooms? Are just not online at all? 00:09:02 Speaker 3: I was only online for the amount of time we could be with the little CDs, right, And I was so much more interested in looking up dragon ball Z information and like weird like internet stuff than like talking to strangers. So there was a there was a curiosity that was Internet based, but it never got into like building a community. It was just information. 00:09:31 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was more me. I would go online and like look up rumors about Nintendo, this kind of thing, like the most interaction online I would have. Well, I would watch my younger sister go on to the pet smart message boards and she would ask questions that things about like is it okay if I allow my cat to drive the car? This sort of thing. I was just watching people go out of their minds. So some early Internet trolling. But I never got on a chat room or anything. I mean, it was never to build a social network within. I mean until like my Space came along. I wasn't really. 00:10:07 Speaker 3: Yeah, until my Space and Facebook close to the end of middle and end of my high school career. There was a career, yeah, Crystal career. There was no I didn't care. I wasn't about to like try to talk to everyone, even AOL messenger. There was so very few conversations that I would have on there, Like away message was like just super like I didn't It wasn't foundational to me in the way that like Facebook eventually became. 00:10:41 Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, I was never into the chatting. I feel like a neighbor kids would be like trying to pick up older men or that sort of thing that was like. 00:10:49 Speaker 3: There there were two big dust ups at my school about people sharing explicit images. There were a person's girlfriends pictures leaked and then another girl's pictures leaked, and those two girls had like the complete opposite effect. Like one of those girls was like very much the scarlet letter, Like everyone was like, she's terrible, how dare she? And then another girl they were like, why would you do this to her? She's a baby, and we're all babies, but they're like, she is a child. 00:11:30 Speaker 2: These two more the exact same age. It's one just less liked, and so people were just like, here's our excuse to get rid of her. 00:11:36 Speaker 3: You know. The sad part about it, one of the girls was more popular, and the popular girl got preferential treatment, and the less popular girl kind of got called the Madonna and the horror complict. All the bad names. How did these get leaked? 00:11:55 Speaker 2: I mean, I assume this was your. 00:11:56 Speaker 3: Face, this early face. I think I don't the parameters weren't there now, things image searches, things get taken down so fast, things get like spread, like could spread like wildfire via like our Nokia bricks and Facebook back then. 00:12:17 Speaker 2: Right, did you have any other big scandals in high school? 00:12:22 Speaker 3: Yeah, a guy who is a year older than me, and now he has a successful career as a sports journalist, so I don't feel bad. He was expelled for marijuana on the purnises sold out and he had to go to like a workman's academy. 00:12:39 Speaker 2: Oh Workman's academy. 00:12:42 Speaker 3: I like don't know how much weed he had. But he was a cool guy. So part of being a cool guy in the early two thousands was like being if not completely connected to drugs, like only being like one step away from like drugs and nothing super hard, but like mariluana. And so they were searching people at our school because we definitely had like a few like petty drug dealers at our high school. And one search when we found out it was this particular student, it was the first time everyone was like, oh, well, we know him, what are we going to do? Like it was we were like, oh no, and all the rumors like started spreading about where they were going to send them, what was going to happen to him, and like how the police handled it. And then so then everyone in high school, you have sixteen year olds being like Ashley the law states like, we don't know, we don't know anything. The most I've done is youth legislature model. You and kids are chiming in like we don't know. And so he ended up getting expelled. And so expulsion means you either attend alternative school or you attend school in a different district per their admittance of you, but your expulsion is on your record. So he ended up going to like a workman a Workman's vote ocational academy to finish out the rest of his high school career. 00:14:03 Speaker 2: Wow, and that was a successful sports journalist. 00:14:06 Speaker 3: And now I know, and now he's on TV and the radio. 00:14:09 Speaker 2: So lesson learned. 00:14:11 Speaker 3: So to high school kids, that's the lesson. 00:14:15 Speaker 2: Oh that's incredible. Yeah, high school scandals are always what was I leaked the high school election numbers? 00:14:25 Speaker 1: And so. 00:14:28 Speaker 3: That was an investigative journalism. 00:14:31 Speaker 2: Right, I was a It's really hard to tell, but I feel like I was part of the counting process and I wasn't happy with how the numbers played out, and so I revealed them to one of the candidates and then it just all got blown out. And for whatever I was good friends with the candidate, and for whatever reason that the people in charge were never able to figure out that it was me that had leaked the numbers. I just went on living my life. But yeah, this is the big public revelation. I guess I'm the leaker. You know. Wow, So that really rocked Bingham High School. 00:15:09 Speaker 3: And what's the statute of limitations on that? 00:15:13 Speaker 2: Well, let's hope that it's years and years. I mean a few years actually, because if the high school comes after me, I could be ruined. And I've now we have audio recording. I don't know. I haven't been involved with many scandals post high school. But what are you going to do? Let's move on. I have to talk to you about something I I asked you to be on the podcast a few weeks ago, and you agreed, and you were so nice and I was so excited for you to be here, and I've been looking forward to it. And yesterday I opened my front door and I looked out and there was a box on my porch. And you know the things that go through your mind when a box arrives. You don't remember ordering. Maybe I order or did in my sleep, maybe I you know, what have you? So I opened it up and inside was not something I had ordered. I'm certain I didn't order this because. 00:16:10 Speaker 3: Sure well, it says you're positive. 00:16:13 Speaker 2: Kind of a giant, almost game show size envelope that says keep your gift a surprise, N wrap your present before opening this envelope. So what I have here, let's just get to it is kind of a blue bag with some green ribbon tied around it and a little card on it which I haven't opened. I I assume this is from you. 00:16:40 Speaker 3: There is a chance it could be from me. 00:16:44 Speaker 2: There's a chance. Should I look at this card, should we see it it? 00:16:49 Speaker 3: Maybe take again there, let's. 00:16:51 Speaker 2: Take a look at what's happening here. Let's see. Okay, so this does say I can confirm this is from you. It says I know you said no gifts, but from Jay Jorden, So this is a gift for. 00:17:02 Speaker 3: Me, This is a gift for you. Bridger and let me let me explain. I'm from Mississippi, right, A'm millennial. I was, as my parents' generation would say, raised right. I just don't come on a podcast and don't bring anything. I have a sparkling personality and a wonderful smile, but those things are intangible. I want you to be able to walk away from this experience after outing yourself as the whistleblower for the high school election, with something positive, something that will make your day better. And I apologize for breaking your rule. But yes, I sent you a gift. Okay, I apology mostly accepted. I mean I'm feeling slightly rattled. I have had a decent amount of caffeine, so that could also be part of the problem. 00:17:54 Speaker 2: Here. Should I open it here on the podcast or should I wait for a few weeks and open it then? 00:18:03 Speaker 3: No, you should open it now, but away from the microphone because it looks very noisy. 00:18:09 Speaker 2: Well, that's more of a reason to open it near the mic. 00:18:11 Speaker 3: I sacrificed my morals for the delivery method for you to get this gift. If I can say that I gave up time, space and a bit of my conscience to a very wealthy overlord that we can only describe as Lex Luthor before steroids, and it's it's something that I'm not proud of, but I needed you to get this gift on time. 00:18:39 Speaker 2: Well in your defense, that overlord has since moved on to space travel as far as I'm concerned. As far as I know, he's now in the space sector. So it's to a new overlord. Oh yes, so but either way, Yeah, let's open this up. I mean, I'm now expecting snakes to spring out of this with the noise. 00:19:00 Speaker 3: But let's know, because I didn't put enough live mice in there sustained them. 00:19:05 Speaker 2: Such bag full of live mins. It's quite heavy. I mean, this feels like if I were to guest right now, I would say, this is a like a dense box of Graham crackers. 00:19:16 Speaker 3: Okay, Honeymoon honeymade Are you Teddy Grahams or honeymaone? 00:19:20 Speaker 2: Honeymade Man? 00:19:21 Speaker 3: Honeymade Man? So you were in the mob. 00:19:26 Speaker 2: That's not a bad idea for a kid's movie. Honeymade Man. Some sort of mafia tale, but it takes place. 00:19:33 Speaker 3: They tried to start a gang when I was in middle school, like an innocent gang, right called We're gonna be called the Posse, and then my friends started a rival game called the Kitty Cat Posse, and we just wanted to like have a gang, you know how, like the our gang little Rascals. That was like a gang, right right, But it was also the time we're like gang. The word gang had a bunch of negative connotations, so if you said you were in a gang, they would like take you to counseling in middle school, so you couldn't even be like me and the gang. 00:20:09 Speaker 2: Give me a break. 00:20:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was terrible. 00:20:12 Speaker 2: There was a movie that we would watch in like substitute teachers would put on in our school called The Butter Cream Gang, and it was one of the worst things I've ever seen, even to this day, I just. 00:20:23 Speaker 3: Like a butter cream gang, the Apple Dumpling Gang. There were a lot of gang, a lot of. 00:20:29 Speaker 2: The gangs who were like kids who were like mowing people's lawns and doing that sort of not for me, not for me. I'm opening the gift. I've got my I've had my hand in here for a bit. 00:20:41 Speaker 3: It is heavy, it's quite heavy. 00:20:43 Speaker 2: And it's there's some tissue. Let's get the tissue me of the mic. 00:20:46 Speaker 3: Just a little would you allow you, okay Bridger, when when you have the children, would you allow them to do when you don't know what's in the gift? When you have chill, would you allow them to do like the like? Because it's not it's not explicitly sexual. People that were like, no, like, you don't sexualize kids. But then there is a faction of freaks that are absolutely have a psycho sexual connection to little kids, making noises in close proximity to them. 00:21:24 Speaker 2: If I had children, this is why I can't have children. We would just have to move to an island where no technology existed because I cannot imagine having a kid on today's internet. 00:21:36 Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to be a cool dad, but I don't want to be a cool TikTok dad. 00:21:40 Speaker 2: No way, Oh my god, I have not got onto TikTok yet. But like occasionally I can. 00:21:47 Speaker 3: Tell by the way you said it, because the syllable there was a space between the words. 00:21:52 Speaker 2: Wait, how did I say it? 00:21:53 Speaker 3: He said, I have not got on the talk yet. That there was a breath, there was a what's that I'm trying to think of? It was a half note instead of a quarter note. 00:22:04 Speaker 2: You like, I'm saying it like a villain is like like a bombage in city Hall, and I'm saying talk. 00:22:09 Speaker 3: Yeah, talk cast him, y'all, come on, DC, Warner Brothers, HBO, Max Group. 00:22:17 Speaker 2: There's gonna be a Riddler spin off that I could. 00:22:19 Speaker 3: Be part of. Yeah, TikTok? Is that better? That's closer. 00:22:26 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm not built to say it. Maybe I can maybe like my vocal cords. 00:22:30 Speaker 3: Can't you said it like people say iced cream and airplane? Oh no, that's horrib It's a turn of this century sort of like world spare for you, like a waffle cone? How eat this too? 00:22:46 Speaker 1: No? 00:22:46 Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, no no no. This is what you pick up your penny farthing. We are leaving. This is heresy, idolatry. 00:22:58 Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna try to say TikTok a few times here until I can get close. 00:23:02 Speaker 3: TikTok. That was getting back, TikTok, TikTok, TikTok. That's it. That's I think this is a casual nature of the app. 00:23:10 Speaker 2: Right there we go. Well, but basically what I was going to say is occasionally videos will break through from that service into Instagram, and I feel like I saw one where like a fan. I mean, it was one of the darkest things I've seen on the internet. It was essentially a full family like dancing around their kitchen. They had just gotten Subways sandwiches, and it was obviously like some sort of sponsorship or whatever, but they had like a choreographed dance with these horrible sandwiches and like whatever leads an entire family to spon being sponsored by Subway and having to dance around the kitchen. Horror, just pure horror for me. 00:23:46 Speaker 3: There is there is a level. I used to think there was a floor, but there's no flower is not at all. 00:23:56 Speaker 2: There's a full like skyscraper beneath that floor that you shoot down. Tower of terror. It's a mind shaft, right, abandoned mind shaft of just human decency at this point. But okay, I've you know, I've been trying to open this. Okay, it's yeah, okay, this there is There was a box within the bag. There is a box within the bag. This is the longest sun wrapping on this podcast. 00:24:22 Speaker 3: I like it. 00:24:23 Speaker 2: This looks like it could. It's just it's now kind of a plain brown box and it says handled with care. So this could like hold fireworks like this feels like there's some sort of explosive in here. I'm going to open it. 00:24:36 Speaker 3: While it is the lunar New Year. There are no fireworks. Oh today is. 00:24:40 Speaker 2: The lunar New Year. I mean when this airs it could be twenty twenty five, who knows. 00:24:48 Speaker 3: But currently that was the turnaround. 00:24:52 Speaker 2: Look, we've got, you know, the editing that we put a lot of special effects. We sweeten the voices, we you know, I we rearrange words. So it's a very manipulative podcast and it takes years, and God bless on a lease, I really put her to work. I'm going to open this box and no, okay, so I'm getting some clues here. It says this is a set do not separate. So this could be, as you said earlier, I could become a maybe this is twin children. 00:25:19 Speaker 3: May perhaps this. 00:25:20 Speaker 2: Is where she become a father. 00:25:22 Speaker 1: Uh. 00:25:23 Speaker 2: And now it's got tape, which is it's some tough tape there. 00:25:27 Speaker 3: I My question about this is that it arrived in a different box though right. 00:25:36 Speaker 2: A fully different box which is now has been thrown away. So this is the fourth layer of wrapping that I've had to deal with. 00:25:44 Speaker 3: It's what if it's a nesting doll. What if? What if this is thematic? It's not. 00:25:50 Speaker 2: It's an in the shape of a cardboard box. It's just a cardboard box. 00:25:55 Speaker 3: There's a Christmas game that I would play with my friends when we would celebrate Christmas where you wrap a gift, probably this many times, maybe four or five times, and you put on music and you have to unwrap one layer, pass it to the next person, unwrap one layer, pass it to the next person, unwrapped one layer, and then when the music stops, you have to like think about what it is, and it starts again, and then it passes to a person. It's only one layer at a time, and whoever like gets through it the fastest gets the gift. And sometimes they're like really big and it's something little, but that's like a gift. I don't necessarily the name of it. 00:26:33 Speaker 2: But it's like gift hop potato. 00:26:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it is. One time I think we gave away a Potato Express. You know what a potato potatoes Express. Listen. They do not sponsored the podcast, but they are an amazing it's an amazing product. It's a cloth bag that's sewn and you put potatoes in it, and then you put them in the microwave and they cook in this little thing and they steam. Oh this is wonderful. 00:27:01 Speaker 2: I thought you could just cook a potato in the microwave without a bag. 00:27:06 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yes, but this is different and better because it has the s scene as TV sticker on it. And it's a good product. I use all the time. I eat a lot of sweet potatoes. 00:27:18 Speaker 2: And I guess it just keeps the potato from blowing up all over your microwave. 00:27:21 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's like a true steam like it steams it. 00:27:24 Speaker 2: That's what it's nice. 00:27:25 Speaker 3: It's good. 00:27:26 Speaker 2: I've just gone onto the microwaving bacon train. I was very suspicious of it. It works just fine, it does. It works, Okay, I see this is when I guess we flip flop. I am an oven bacon That's what I was for the longest time. But then you know, you would get to starvation level and I don't want to wait for the oven to preheat and all of this. I don't have the twenty minutes Bridgie. 00:27:55 Speaker 3: How much bacon you eating? 00:27:57 Speaker 2: I'm eating too much to be well, mostly turkey bacon. Okay, So I'm trying to be you know, uh, cholesterol conscious, but I make a lot of breakfast for dinner. 00:28:08 Speaker 3: Pigs are very smart. 00:28:09 Speaker 2: Pigs are yeah, almost human level the three year olds. That's wild. Yeah, let's let's go towards the turkeys. I feel like they're not as intelligent. They're uglier. Yeah, but let's see what's happening in here? What is happening here? Okay, so there's a doctor Teal's foaming foaming bath with Epsom salt and then a whole giant bag of lavender south and sleep Epsom salt. Jay, what's happening here? 00:28:46 Speaker 3: I didn't know if you were a shower man or a bath man, right, and so I decided to sin both. One's kind of a bubble bubble body wash and then one's epsom saw And I'd had a rough week. People swear by this stuff. I don't know. I feigured you'd be pretty sore after getting through all of the packaging, so I sent something to calm you down after this podcast that you can use for hopefully for a long time. 00:29:20 Speaker 2: I love this. Wait, so this bottle is like for showering, it's for bubble bath too. Okay, Wait, so but you said something about showering, and I can't mention using either of these in the shower. 00:29:31 Speaker 3: I think you can use the bubble bath in the shower. Bubble bath is just shower gel. Right, you have to put it on a loofa. 00:29:38 Speaker 2: Right, I've never thought about that except for you, like sometimes smells like bubblegum or something. Yes, are you a bath man or a shower man? 00:29:46 Speaker 3: I am such a shower man. But I know that people still take baths. 00:29:53 Speaker 2: Right, I mean, as soon as I asked that question, I realized I don't know that anyone really identifies as a bath man or woman. 00:30:04 Speaker 3: I feel like the bath some people do every day a bath. Yeah, how if you're rich and wealthy, they're probably like lots of who are you hanging out with? Are you in Los Angeles? I am who am I hanging out with? Well? Listen, listen. I know I bragged about having a Potato Express, but the one percent has had a rough time, Bridger, Maybe take it easy on the people who own waffle makers and Potato Express and a smoothie maker and a flood processor. Maybe some of us like to lounge and relax. 00:30:36 Speaker 2: Look, I'm not dancing around here anymore. Your friend Jeff Bezos. He's taking his baths every day, he's thinking about space and how to get to the moon. He's got a relax Yeah. 00:30:47 Speaker 3: He needs to. I wish, I continued to Jeff Bezos. I wish he just would relax in one of the sixteen bathrooms in that place in Washington, d C. Just he just plays like an entire block. 00:30:58 Speaker 2: He owns so many. How since I've actually done research into this, and he bought a house in LA for one hundred and twenty five million dollars, and then he bought the house next door. It's too much. 00:31:09 Speaker 3: That's silly. 00:31:10 Speaker 2: But I can't imagine him enjoying anything, let alone a bath. 00:31:14 Speaker 3: Do you think that's silly. I think that's silly. 00:31:16 Speaker 2: What owning one hundred and twenty five million dollar house? 00:31:20 Speaker 3: No, the the epilogue to that because someone says, I just bought this house for one hundred and twenty five million dollars. I hope it's a nice house. And then before you get a word out, they go, I want that one too, Right. 00:31:32 Speaker 2: Of course, it's wild behavior. I mean, what more do you need after the one hundred and twenty five million dollars that you need? The next place. 00:31:41 Speaker 3: I looked at what a seven course meal is, and there's a dessert after dessert. Sometimes it's like that, It's like this is gross, right, I mean, it's excess. I like that the one. 00:31:54 Speaker 2: Hundred and twenty five million dollars was not the gross element for you. It had to be until the House next door, because the makes. 00:32:02 Speaker 3: You think of money in like weird ways, like I hear one hundred and twenty five million dollars, I go, that's okay, that's a pretty good sports contract. And then a second, no, no, yeah, I hear one hundred and twenty five million dollars. I just think, oh, how much did the movie cost to make? Though? And they were cooping. 00:32:19 Speaker 2: That's like I've been a bit of a Marvel movie. 00:32:22 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm screwed up because of the way we talk about money in our society. 00:32:27 Speaker 2: Well, we need I mean maybe this podcast is the beginning of that. Everyone needs. 00:32:31 Speaker 3: Hey Bridger, you know what I'm gonna tell you to do. I get I sent you a gift. Let's just relax. 00:32:37 Speaker 2: Let's relax. Well, I'm now worked up. I'm thinking about the house next door. I feel like buying the house next door was a Spike move. He like, didn't like whoever lived there and bought it from underneath them. 00:32:50 Speaker 3: Or maybe you know what it probably was. He went to visit the property. I'm painting a picture. Now this is hypothetical, but who knows. Maybe I was there. He's went to visit the property. He said he really liked this house. And the next door he saw someone kind of giving him the eye and they were like, I don't know if I want to have bezos moving into my nice neighborhood. These people also have money. They have different type of money. Maybe this is plastic surgeon money, right, maybe this is La entertainment money. But in Los Angeles they got a little money too. And then what really set him off is that he looked at that person's property, went to their front door and saw FedEx and ups packages and he said, no, no, no, no, no, I will handle this. 00:33:39 Speaker 2: House. 00:33:39 Speaker 3: He bought the house. He and I don't even think he did it. I think he said Alexa that one too. 00:33:48 Speaker 2: I actually I think that that's probably closer to the reality because I can't imagine he's making like he doesn't care. He's not out there like I need to get a new like here. He has so many houses. He has somebody on his team who's like out just buying houses for him. 00:34:03 Speaker 3: I think Alexa is a semi sentient AI that has assumed a humanoid figure and is walking around as his personal assistant. And we won't find out until there is like an attempt on him and he's in danger and someone tries to get at him, and then she's like going to use like her full time blasters to protect him. I think Alexa is a real robot bodyguard. 00:34:31 Speaker 2: Alexa is his real estate agent. It's just I just said, oh no, I just said Alexa, and there's fun in this room turn off. 00:34:43 Speaker 3: I have a similar problem because if I say okay, like buzzword, if I say okay, Google, make the lights blue like some craziness happens in my apartment. 00:34:54 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that is terrifying. There's a spirit in your home. 00:34:58 Speaker 3: Well everything is listening to me. Yeah, okay, Google, thank you. So there's I mean, I always say please and thank you because when the uprising comes, they're not gonna be mad. 00:35:08 Speaker 2: They're gonna remember who was nice, and Jay will be one of the few people on the robots. 00:35:13 Speaker 3: Yeah you just yelled at yours. Bridger I don't. 00:35:17 Speaker 2: I don't even know why it's in this room. I don't know what purpose it's even serving. I've got to get rid of that. That's terrifying. Back to baths. When was the last time you had a bath? 00:35:28 Speaker 3: Probably at some point mid quarantine. My boyfriend takes baths a lot. He's he's a bather. He helped me come up with the idea like once a week, maybe not once a week, but definitely like once a month, okay, because it's like a luxury, right, And so I think that if you take a bath, like that's a lot of you time because you have to draw the bath right. Then you have to wait for the bath to cool down, and you have to enjoy the bath, but only for enough time until it gets too cold. So there's like a there's a ritual to bathing. 00:36:05 Speaker 2: It's a whole process. And I feel like I'm not somebody when I do take a bath. I feel like if you wait until, if you're in the bath until it's cold, you something's going on. 00:36:16 Speaker 3: Are you saying you fell asleep? 00:36:19 Speaker 2: I know I've never been in a bath, or at least within my adult life, until it gets cold. I'm getting out before the temperature is changing. Otherwise, I feel like you're going through something. If you're just like, I don't even care what happens to me anymore. I'm now in cold bathwater. 00:36:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, I want. Culturally, I wish Americans bathed together. 00:36:42 Speaker 2: More bathed together, like like who. 00:36:46 Speaker 3: Like like if like bath house culture bath house Because if you say bath house in America in any sort of like mid to major city, people go, oh, yeah, you mean gay, And sometimes yes, but sometimes you just wanted to be like a bath. 00:37:02 Speaker 2: Right, Well, I mean in La there are the Korean spas, which are some of the most anisexual bath experiences you could possibly have. That's what they're fantastic there. Of course, I'll shut down now, which is real shame. 00:37:17 Speaker 3: Which is sad but also safe. 00:37:19 Speaker 2: It's exactly sad but safe. I would just have to come out right now as an anti masker explicitly for bath houses. I've been down there, marching around the Korean spas demanding they reopen. I need to bathe. The strangers. 00:37:35 Speaker 3: There are people. Weren't there people outside of Disneyland? Oh? 00:37:39 Speaker 2: Of course there were people outside of the air One grocer, which is like an expensive grocery store, people are out of control. 00:37:48 Speaker 3: I mean, there will be someone upset that a thing that they like was taken away without any regard for a bigger picture. There's going to be someone that's like. 00:37:58 Speaker 4: Oh how you Oh my god, I can't go to the public spittoon and spin in things I used to love spinning and stuff. 00:38:11 Speaker 2: In my kissing booth. The kissing the booth economy is going to crater. 00:38:18 Speaker 3: Oh so, now so you're telling me I can't what am I supposed to do? I was an amateur dentist, and now I can't just put my fingers in people's mouths anymore. Now I gotta go to school for it. 00:38:28 Speaker 2: My illegal orthodonist clinic is in danger. Leave me alone, let's say. So. Back to soap, Back to I feel like I've used uh salts in a bath before and I love it. I feel I mean the quarantine. This is something that's changed about my life. Is I am taking baths occasionally once a month probably, and I can't recommend it enough. It's so relaxing. 00:38:54 Speaker 3: Yeah you can, you can soap? You can. 00:38:57 Speaker 2: That could also just be a footsoap. Maybe it's what am I putting my feet in. I don't I don't have a container to put my feet in. 00:39:04 Speaker 3: That is a question, because I remember when I was a kid, if my grandma soaked her feet, there was a pink like big container, probably like this big that was just for my grandma's feet. There was nothing else that I felt comfortable putting in the pink plastic tub. 00:39:25 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. 00:39:26 Speaker 3: I don't have a You gotta get one. I didn't go to the container store. 00:39:29 Speaker 2: Sorry, Bridge, we all need a designated foot bath container because I'm not putting it in something I'm gonna be cooking in later. That was wild. 00:39:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's disrespectful. 00:39:39 Speaker 2: Right, I'm not putting it in my mixing bowl or I don't. 00:39:43 Speaker 3: Do you have Do you have like big mixing bawls? We have the stainless steel like set. 00:39:48 Speaker 2: Right, I've got. I ordered a set of mixing bowls are kind of nesting which I use to put flour in before I put it into the mixing bowl before I make cookies. I have that kind of thing, but I'm. 00:39:59 Speaker 3: Not well kind of cooking. 00:40:00 Speaker 2: Do you make almost exclusively chocolate chip cookies? 00:40:03 Speaker 3: Wow? 00:40:04 Speaker 2: But a whole variety of them. 00:40:05 Speaker 3: But this is I hope listeners heard you didn't say. When I take the cookies out of the freezer and open up the sleeve of dough, you sat in a flower. 00:40:16 Speaker 2: No flour you've got. You're starting with your butter. You're putting in the vanilla cold butter. Room temperature butter. You're okay, You're gonna want a room temperature butter unless the recipe calls for a different type of butter. Browning butter. Sometimes, have you ever brown butter? 00:40:31 Speaker 3: Yes, it's brown butter. So you're a secret Are you a secret foodie? 00:40:35 Speaker 2: I love food, but I'm not good at cooking. I'm a decent baker. 00:40:39 Speaker 3: Can I tell you a joke that I wrote in the beginning of Quarantine because my boyfriend's a baker, is that I have to get rid of my internalized homophobia, because at one point I caught myself in the kitchen saying, oh, honey, I'm nowhere near gay enough to bathe. And it's it's thoughts like that that really put the community down. My boyfriend is good, he's a good baker. What's your cookies? Are your go to? 00:41:06 Speaker 2: Cookies? Are almost all I do? All occasionally do brownies. 00:41:10 Speaker 3: But you're brown. You're doing brown butter chocolate chip cookies. 00:41:13 Speaker 2: They're delicious. It's the extra step, I mean, the brown butter, the browning of the butter. I'm getting a little bit better at it, so it's not as stressful, but it is an element that you can screw up and it'll ruin everything. So that to me, I need everything to go right, especially right now when I'm you know, like my emotions are just constantly absolutely afraid, and I'm away. I'm about to have a breakdown at almost any moment. 00:41:37 Speaker 3: I can't have them. Also, I'm thinking about this. When you brown butter, usually it's a stick of butter in a nonstick and you swirl and like kind of let cook low heat until it's browned. That's like how much butter you should have to seen? You butter? Are you going through a lot of butter? 00:41:59 Speaker 2: I'm going's a decent amount of butter. Maybe it's maybe my most purchased ingredient at the store at this point. Okay, but you know, you chop up the butter, you put it in the pan and stir it around until it starts to turn brown, and then you panic and throw it into a different bowl and hope everything's okay. 00:42:14 Speaker 3: Isn't the trip is the trip though? Gold and then it will be brown when you put it in the bowl. 00:42:20 Speaker 2: Jay, I don't know. I feel like I'm doing it okay so far, but I all, you don't want to do it under cooked and then it's like, yeah, what's the point of even weltering waster sometime? Yeah, So you know, I'm still learning. I'm growing as a person. 00:42:32 Speaker 3: What kind of chocolate are we doing? 00:42:34 Speaker 2: You know what? I love a Giadelli chocolate chip, the dark chocolate. I think that's what they call her bittersweet, really a beautiful flavor. What do you bake or do you like? Do you make cookies at all? 00:42:45 Speaker 3: My boyfriend loves to make them. I I'm the I'm the savory person in the house, right. I think I think the binaries of top and bottom are so outdated. I think there's a pastry cook and the chef in a house, and I'm the I'm the safory guy in the house because the adjustments are different. You can kind of like play a little bit more on the fly baking. That's drug dealing, and by that I mean chemistry. It's math. You can't screw that stuff up. You will ruin stuff. You will ruin things. 00:43:14 Speaker 2: You will ruin things if you don't follow directions, which is the best part of it. It's just literally you follow directions and you get what you want. Cooking cooking, I'm out of control. I'm fully out of control, and I will ruin you know, half of the things I make, So put out that what do you cook? 00:43:31 Speaker 3: My favorite thing in the cook in reset memory because I am from Mississippi. I will put my fried chicken thighs and more importantly, my fried chicken sandwich up against anyone else's. Really I will put yes. 00:43:46 Speaker 2: Frying food at home scares me to death. 00:43:48 Speaker 3: You gotta have a good heavy cast enamel Dutch oven. 00:43:54 Speaker 4: Boy. 00:43:55 Speaker 3: So it's an investment. A lot of it's it's I mean, it's an investment in space is an investment, and then you're because then you're also having to buy like a good canola oil or peanut oil. There are a number of things, but that's one thing that I do. I'll fight people over that and do a really good red chicken curry, oh, really very good with the jasmine rice. 00:44:19 Speaker 2: Like a tie red curry, like a. 00:44:21 Speaker 3: Tie red curry delicious, which is always very fun because you get to go to a different out of the supermarket, expand your supermarket horizons. I oh, I can do a lot of really fun I guess it would technically be American and American nized dishes that have been folded into like the cultural legacy. But since I'm from Mississippi, if I couldn't fried chicken or like fry fish, I'd be so ashamed of myself. But I do a lot of fun stuff. 00:44:51 Speaker 2: Wow, I'm extremely jealous. I can barely cook. 00:44:54 Speaker 3: So I make good eggs? 00:44:57 Speaker 2: Like what kind of eggs? I make a deuce on egg? 00:45:00 Speaker 3: Like? 00:45:00 Speaker 1: What are you? 00:45:00 Speaker 3: What do you make? 00:45:01 Speaker 2: Like a good scrambled egg? 00:45:03 Speaker 3: Okay, scramble. I can make a great over easy. I can make a great fried egg. We can. 00:45:10 Speaker 2: E's tough flipping it. I still can't flip the egg. 00:45:14 Speaker 3: You know what, you gotta have a pan. This sounds so exclusionary, and I hate that we are still stuck in this place as a country. But you gotta have a pan that's just for eggs. 00:45:26 Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's never going to be me. Who am I could about yourself? 00:45:33 Speaker 3: The pan is this big? The pan is this big just for eggs, just for eggs. And it's small. Yeah, that's small. It's not a big egg pan. How many eggs are you eating today? 00:45:46 Speaker 2: Again, I'm going to have a heart attack by the time I'm forty. 00:45:49 Speaker 3: I wait a second, is this when we reveal that you've been eating nothing but making an eggs every day for every meal. I make a lot of breakfast tacos. They're very easy and delicious. What's the what's okay? Corn tortilla? Flower tortilla. 00:46:03 Speaker 2: I buy my flower tortillas from a place that makes them. I feel like that's such a key element. People underestimate tortillas, even restaurants underestimated. 00:46:11 Speaker 3: I don't think they do in California. In New York, they mind, They don't under in California. 00:46:16 Speaker 2: Absolutely. A lot of bread, a lot of That's why you can't get a good burrito in Los Angeles at least, because a lot of them are made the tortilla are Wow. I'm really just going crazy here. Tortillas are made in factories at a lot of these restaurants, and so they're no good. It's the bread. You want good bread make a good tortilla. 00:46:33 Speaker 3: Tortilla is a flat bread, right. 00:46:36 Speaker 2: People need to wrap their head around. 00:46:37 Speaker 3: That top out here. Uh, the top five flat breads for me probably tortilla, pizza and then non oh, and then pieda like non. I was introduced to non bread later in life. Right, it's a good bread. 00:46:55 Speaker 2: It's a delicious bread. That's the bread that when somebody hasn't had Indian food, but for you at least know they're gonna be able to eat that and enjoy that element. It's a real gateway to the rest of Indian food. 00:47:07 Speaker 3: It's so good. 00:47:09 Speaker 2: Yeah for me, Wait, did you say your fifth? Maybe you could only. 00:47:12 Speaker 3: Name four top five flatbreads, right, oh, top five? So I said tortillas. Then I said. 00:47:18 Speaker 2: What you said, Uh, pizza. 00:47:22 Speaker 3: Tortilla's pizza, non vanpeda peda and then uh, and then what's another good flat bread? 00:47:31 Speaker 2: Let's see, there's a Roadie. 00:47:33 Speaker 3: I like a good rot I feel, I mean that's another Indian flatbread though from like the Indian subconcon. 00:47:39 Speaker 2: Well, you can also, but there are different types of its Caribbean and Caribbean and Southeast Asian where like in Malaysia and stuff where it's more about like fried. 00:47:48 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's a great one. 00:47:53 Speaker 2: That would be maybe number two for me. 00:47:54 Speaker 3: But these are all savory? Is there a sweet one? Sweet? 00:47:57 Speaker 2: Miss flat bread? I feel like that's a does a crape count? 00:48:01 Speaker 3: Then we get in the pancakes, right, and they don't want to think about funnel cakes. 00:48:05 Speaker 2: Right. Then we're headed straight into fair. 00:48:07 Speaker 3: Food, yeah, which which I love. I mean, I'm a big proponent of like people being like, let's see if we can. 00:48:17 Speaker 2: That's what the fair is for. Well, okay, that's a decent top five flatbreads. I would say, although pizza, I feel like it's a different category. 00:48:25 Speaker 3: No, pizza is a flatbread? 00:48:27 Speaker 2: Interesting. I feel like I don't agree because I feel like you can go to a pizza restaurant and there's a separate element of the menu that says flatbread. 00:48:35 Speaker 3: No. 00:48:35 Speaker 2: I feel like, once red sauce hits that bread, it's no longer flat bread. It's now pizza. 00:48:39 Speaker 3: No pizza. 00:48:42 Speaker 2: I mean, you are telling me I'm wrong. 00:48:43 Speaker 3: But we left out Manza but oh delicious. But a pizza is a flat bread so much so that whenever I see a flatbread pizza, I'm always like, that's you're saying chai tea when you do that. 00:48:58 Speaker 2: But I feel like we're getting into Hamburg sandwich territory. 00:49:02 Speaker 3: Have you ever said hamburger sandwich? I will never. 00:49:05 Speaker 2: I mean this is the first and last time you'll hear me saying that. 00:49:08 Speaker 3: But are you saying the hamburger sandwich? 00:49:10 Speaker 2: Would you say pizza flatbread? 00:49:13 Speaker 3: Human person? No, I don't say pizza flat bread. 00:49:16 Speaker 2: You're so wrong here. Pizza and flatbread are fully separate. Flat bread is a pizza is a flat bread. A pizza is a pizza. Flatbread is a flat bread. A pita is a flat bread. A rody is a flatbread. You pizza has has become so famous, it's become its own category. 00:49:36 Speaker 3: What you tell me, pizza gets to leave the group just because people know. 00:49:41 Speaker 2: I mean, no, Beyonce left Destiny's Child and is now her own category. Yes, you don't say Beyonce destiny Child, Destiny's Child. You say Beyonce. 00:49:51 Speaker 3: But I think that you can celebrate, you can celebrate the star power of pizza, but also realize that pizza is a flatbread. 00:50:00 Speaker 2: I feel like it diminishes the pizza element. It's worked so hard to be its own thing. 00:50:05 Speaker 3: No, you get to see from whence it came. 00:50:09 Speaker 2: Okay, this is a genealogy. Lesson this is a family history of pizza. 00:50:14 Speaker 3: I don't want to know very Italian, humble beginnings. 00:50:19 Speaker 2: Well, agree to disagree. 00:50:22 Speaker 3: I still have had a good time. 00:50:27 Speaker 1: Jay. 00:50:27 Speaker 2: We need to we have to play a game, and there's a game I want to play with you called the Gift Master. I need a number between one and ten from you? 00:50:34 Speaker 3: Oh, from me? Eight? 00:50:37 Speaker 2: Okay, I need to do some By the way eight is. A listener recently pointed out the most popular number picked by the guest a. 00:50:45 Speaker 3: Do you want to know why? 00:50:47 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do want to know why. 00:50:48 Speaker 3: I think it's because you say between one and ten, and then people go, okay, because we like order. Some people lean towards five, but I think even order. I just heard you say ten, and the next even number is I do what I would assume. Eight is a nice comfortable number. 00:51:08 Speaker 2: Two. It's like it's, you know, at least to be it's it's a nice round number. I like the way eight sounds. 00:51:16 Speaker 3: It's the number guys lie about on dating apps. 00:51:19 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay. I have to do some calculating while I'm doing this. You can promote something, you can recommend something, you can sing a song, do whatever you want. I'll be right back. 00:51:31 Speaker 3: Okay, Hello, my name is Jay Jorden. I'm a New York based comedian, and I could promote my album, Jay Jurden, y'all. I could promote my Twitter and my Instagram, which are just at Jay Jurden. It's just my name with an AD symbol in front of it. But I'm not going to do either one of those things. Casually. What I'm going to promote is radical kindness. I want everyone to be kind to one another in twenty twenty one, and the best way to be kind is to introduce one of your friends to the hilarious stallions of a comedian by the name of Jay Jurden, who you can follow at Jay Jorden on Twitter and Instagram, and you can buy his debut album, Jay Jarden, y'all, available on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube Music, which is a good app. I have an Android, and a lot of people make fun of androids, and I think it's classiest. And people are gonna slowly but surely realize that I get to see music videos early because I have YouTube music. So jokes on, y'all. So yeah, radical kindness though, have a good one. 00:52:40 Speaker 2: Okay, wow, I you know, sometimes the timing doesn't work out and the person just gets dragged through having to the silence of me calculating, and then they have to promote things that they don't even care to promote. You did a perfect job. I did a perfect job. We're in sync here. 00:52:57 Speaker 3: You did a really good job. 00:52:58 Speaker 2: This is how the game works. I'm gonna name three potential gifts items that you could give as gifts, and then I'm going to name three celebrities, famous people that you have to give them two and you're gonna tell me who you'd give what and why does that make sense? 00:53:12 Speaker 3: That makes perfect sense? 00:53:14 Speaker 2: Okay, So the three gifts you'll be giving today are a five seat sectional, a machete. Okay. And finally, the final gift that you will be giving is expensive detergent. So not your regular off brand detergent. Not This is an expensive detergent. Whatever that means to you. Will be given to the following people. Number one, Posh Spice herself, Victoria Beckham. Number two Okay, this is a controversial figure, Chevy Chase famous, he's angry, he has a variety of issues surrounding him. And finally, the final person is Will Smith. What are you gonna do? You've got a machine, an expensive detergent, and five. 00:54:07 Speaker 3: Sire seat sectional. Posh Spice Victoria Beckham will receive the five seat sectional. Okay, why why there are five seats in the sectional? 00:54:26 Speaker 2: Oh boy? 00:54:27 Speaker 3: I am not a person who believes in conspiracy theories. But if there was a five person group that Victoria Beckham was familiar with, perhaps all five of these people could come together on this sectional and perhaps go on to agree about the terms of a tour late twenty twenty one through twenty twenty two. So Posh Spice gets the five seat sectional to start the New Spice Girls Tour. 00:55:07 Speaker 2: You've got Baby, You've got Ginger, You've got Sported, You've got Posh and Scary Malby all there on the sectional on the sighting of the contract to go on tour. 00:55:18 Speaker 3: Yeah, and we film that and we make money about them being all together in the same room, on the same couch for the first time in a very long right. 00:55:28 Speaker 2: I mean, this feels like a very good COVID situation. You get them all on this couch, put it, throw a computer in front of them. The tour is happening right there on zoom. 00:55:36 Speaker 3: Maybe and maybe we get to see why they haven't been able to agree on some things over the past years, but I think that's the best use of that sex. 00:55:45 Speaker 2: They kind of reunite at some point a. 00:55:48 Speaker 3: Little, but I don't Jerry left early. 00:55:51 Speaker 2: Oh boy, Jerry, and we. 00:55:53 Speaker 3: Love Jerry Hollowell. But there is there is When you said five, I just said, I know who this is for. 00:56:01 Speaker 2: That's such a perfect, perfect gift for Vicky. 00:56:04 Speaker 3: The machete. The machete will go to Will Smith and why I am legend was about people receiving a vaccine that's right, that might not be on the up and up, and I feel like if there's anyone who has done the research through the film, experience and like can save humanity, it's going to be a jack of way too many trades. Sir William Smith. I'm going to give him the machete and hopefully it's going to be inscribed with the words you know what to do. And I'm also going to tell him to keep his dog safe. But Will Smith gets to the machete and it's locked up. He saves it just for the perfect time whenever he has to say mankind right. And so that being said, that means Chevy Chase gets the expensive laundry detergent chevy Chase, who was funny, and then we found out that sometimes humor and talent doesn't have morals or conscience. So I would like for him to use that detergent to clean up his act and get back in the good graces of Donald Glover and the ghost of Richard Pryor and everyone who's he's offended over the past few years. It was very interesting that chevy Chase went from being like kind of like an everyman and then when he got older, you were like, oh, so, what character are they? What characters slot are they gonna give him? And he was kind of mean and bad, and everyone's like, just chevy Chase, He's so in Mike chevy Chase and then Joel McHale and like everyone on set, we're like, oh he is. It's not Oh he didn't know the cameras were rolling, so okay, So yeah, I'll give it to chevy Chase. Also, I feel like chevy Chase is the only person of those two people that even knows how to use a washing machine now, because Posh Spice looks at a clothing item, has it brought to her right, and then goes like this and people take it off. 00:58:20 Speaker 2: She looks at a washing machine, I think that's a car. 00:58:23 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Will Smith, I don't think Will Smith, and I know he came from humble beginnings, but I don't think Will Smith has touched a washing machine since No, No Independence Day. 00:58:35 Speaker 2: No, unless it was for to research a role. He's not hasn't looked at or touched an appliance. 00:58:41 Speaker 5: Probably maybe like the months leading up to the Pursuit of Happiness, he was aware. I've got to see one of washing machines, but that's as research. 00:58:53 Speaker 2: Jumping some detertion. I think that I think that's perfect, and I think keeping the machete away from Chevy is an excellent goodness. I think that all of this is perfect, and you did an excellent job. 00:59:05 Speaker 3: Thank you. 00:59:06 Speaker 2: I'm giving you a solid a here, I mean really thank you. Lasered in on what everyone needed and got it to them so perfect. This is the part of the podcast called I said no emails. People are writing into I Said no gifts at gmail dot com with a variety of things. Let's see if we can answer a question. 00:59:24 Speaker 3: All right, I'm glad people follow directions. 00:59:27 Speaker 2: People are very good at following directions. You'd be surprised. Well, sometimes sometimes people are terrible at following directions, but that's the rainbow of humanity. Dear Bridger and Bridger's guest, what is your opinion on gift receipts? I have a picky in law who won't help us out by providing a gift wish list, But when the in law receives something they aren't into, they force their spouse to awkwardly approach the gifter and ask how the gift can be returned. Personally, I find this to be incredibly ghost. The in law is not This person hates this inl law. In law is not hurting in any way either. So my thinking is, if you don't love a sweater from Grandma, it won't kill you to pretend and then donate it to someone in need later. So basically, this person's just saying, what should we be doing about gift receipts. They didn't give a name, they said thank you a grateful listener, so we have to make them happy. Here, what do you think of a gift receipt? 01:00:19 Speaker 3: Okay, if you are receiving a true gift, not a gift from a curated gift list. If you don't have a cash pig that watches your videos and sends you money and things you request. Then sometimes the gifts you get are going to be a bit of a surprise, right And with that being said, the gift recipient is going to either like it, love it, feel ambivalent about it, or absolutely hate it. So I think providing a gift receipt let's a lot of pressure out of the situation for both parties. You let some of the steam out because they at the end of the day, if you don't love it, you can take it back to TJ Max and see why I thought you needed another Santa Figurine. 01:01:11 Speaker 2: I absolutely agree with that. A gift seat is in a huge leap in technology for all of us, and I think we need to embrace it. You get the chance to return it, but you can't see how much it costs initially, you know. I feel like when you give somebody a gift, just let them have the gift re seed. I don't see what the problem could possibly be with that. I don't know. And this in law just sounds like a pain. 01:01:32 Speaker 1: Yeah. 01:01:32 Speaker 3: Do you think it's because the in law is worried because the in law's husband is having to always start do the confrontation, right. 01:01:44 Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like after this this problem happened, happening once this in law would learn their lesson. But apparently this person's just struggling. I say, throwing the gift seat or just stop giving this person a gift. That's my big advice. Alienate the in law. 01:02:00 Speaker 3: Know what I would even do. I would even say start gift carding this person totally, and if they know how impersonal. Oh, I can't believe you would do this. This is class list. Remind them of their track record. 01:02:18 Speaker 2: Give them that'll be the next gift. Is just a documented list of things that they didn't like that we're all guesses as to what they would want and they all failed. So at some point you've got to put your foot down with this person. They're out of control. Yeah, this actually reminds me I never opened this mysterious envelope. Should we see what's happening in here? 01:02:41 Speaker 3: Yes, but it's not going to be as cute as my note. 01:02:45 Speaker 2: Oh, it's literally it's literally a gift receipt. It's a you know, just like an itemized lift list to replace the item and then it's a gift for you. Again from Jay Jurden. So interesting, What an interesting little button to put on this person's letter. I think that the gift for seat is absolutely fine. 01:03:09 Speaker 3: Yeah, a grateful listener. Gift for seats are so good that I sent. 01:03:14 Speaker 2: One, right, I mean, I don't know what else to say. I'm done answering questions. This in law has put me in a mood thinking about this person that's playing all these mind games with their family. It's two. It takes a lot of energy. Jay, I've had an absolutely wonderful time, and I cannot I'm unfortunately. I'm completely relaxed right now. I've had a terrific time, so I don't need to take a bath. But now I know that when I'm all wound up, I'll probably drink another cup of coffee in an hour, and then I'm going to be an anxiety mess. I'll you know that you can go over that barrier for suddenly. 01:03:48 Speaker 3: You know, God's so worried because the sun is setting here. And I was like, why would you drink coffee at five with them? I remembered, Jay, there are our time zones, and I was like, if he touches a cup of coffee right now, his night is. 01:04:05 Speaker 2: Ruein what's your what's the latest? For a cup of coffee for you? 01:04:09 Speaker 3: Late? Three? 01:04:12 Speaker 2: Three? It feels like the after four o'clock. If I'm drinking coffee good bye now. 01:04:17 Speaker 3: If I see someone with the coffee at three, I'm usually like, what's see? What you're doing today? What you got going on? Is there something I don't know about? Are we do? We have planes? My boyfriend he drinks the coffee when he wakes up, and then he has a second coffee because the first one was like required and the second one is like enjoyment. I had a coffee today when I was watching a TV show that makes enough money that I don't have to like advertise them on here. 01:04:44 Speaker 2: Oh boy, I'd love to know. 01:04:45 Speaker 3: It was I'm a nerd. I was watching WandaVision and I. 01:04:49 Speaker 2: Was drinking I've just started watching them. 01:04:51 Speaker 3: Was drinking my coffee and I was like, this is so surreal, only because I was in enjoying which should be like prime time viewing television at ten am with a coffee on like a Friday, when I usually would be like going to do stuff. It was just, you know, but don't drink coffee after three, folks. 01:05:19 Speaker 2: Look, I can get up to four o'clock, but after four you can it's an absolute night ruiner and next day ruiner. 01:05:26 Speaker 3: I took an accidental nap yesterday at nytime. I don't want to tell you. There's gonna be a little bit judgment. 01:05:32 Speaker 2: Well that's why you're here. I'm here to judge you. 01:05:35 Speaker 3: It was. It was. It was like like an eight thirty eight thirty PM. I laid down. I shouldn't have even looked in the direction of my bed. I took a nap. I was up until three. 01:05:48 Speaker 2: Oh, how long was your nap? 01:05:50 Speaker 3: My nap was like may right under an hour? 01:05:53 Speaker 2: Not worth it? 01:05:55 Speaker 3: And it was a nap like some of the throw pillows were still on the bed. It was like, true, I don't know how this happened. 01:06:02 Speaker 2: Nap unless you work a graveyard shift, anything after seven pm is not a nap. That's a that's going to bed. 01:06:09 Speaker 3: I did it to myself, and it was I'm worried. I wasn't. I don't know what happened. I feel like I feel like like a mid century nineteen fifties husband that's like, I don't know how it happened. But she's saying, the girl is mine and what do you want me to do about it? That's just from fences if anyone had office. But like I took that. 01:06:33 Speaker 2: Nap, bad move. The fact that you're away right now is wild to me. 01:06:39 Speaker 3: I'm trying to like adjust everything. So I had to wake up very early today and stay up by having a very very good podcast with you. And I got to like stay up all day today not even look in the direction of a nap, and then I'll go to bed at a good time. 01:06:56 Speaker 2: But you're basically starting a new life. 01:06:59 Speaker 3: I'm trying. It's tough. It's tough out here in these streets in the house. 01:07:03 Speaker 2: While you drink coffee and watch TV at ten in the morning. 01:07:07 Speaker 3: It's the toughest. Yeah, that's going to be what I told my kids. This is You think I had it easy waking up at eleven oh nine when people were dying to watch TV and drink coffee and talk to people on my computer. You're lucky. You have to work in the child mind that we have now, because the. 01:07:31 Speaker 2: Best the child line, the best of mind. Jay, I'm worried about you. I need you to get to sleep. I need you to stay up at least until nine o'clock. Tonight before you go to bed. Thank you so much for the gift, Thank you for being here. 01:07:46 Speaker 3: Thank you for having me.
