Speaker 1: Are you leaving? I you wanna way back home?
Speaker 2: Either way, we want to be there. Doesn't matter how
Speaker 2: much baggage you claim and give us time and a
Speaker 2: terminol and gay.
Speaker 1: We want to send you off in style. We wanna
Speaker 1: welcome you back home.
Speaker 3: Tell us all about it. We scared her?
Speaker 1: Was it fine?
Speaker 2: Malcorn?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 3: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need you ride?
Speaker 3: Ride with Karen and Chris?
Speaker 1: Welcome to Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: This is Chris Fairbanks and this is Karen Kilgera. Hello Karen,
Speaker 2: Hello Chris.
Speaker 3: Oh how's your.
Speaker 1: Anything notable happened today for you?
Speaker 2: It is one thousand degrees outside. It is Arizona hot outside,
Speaker 2: oppressively strangely hot.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I decided to go to Seami Valley and golf in
Speaker 4: this I saw a rattlesnake. A man tried to fight me,
Speaker 4: and I still have a headache from it. So I
Speaker 4: went right into it. I'm like, where's the closest desert
Speaker 4: like climate.
Speaker 2: I like the idea that this the rattlesnake and the
Speaker 2: man trying to fight you were kind of lined up
Speaker 2: like there was one you got to that taken care of.
Speaker 2: Now there's the next one. It was like conveyor belt.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was insult injury.
Speaker 4: I met the snake right after he said he I'll
Speaker 4: kick your fucking ass.
Speaker 1: He actually said that, he said.
Speaker 4: It under his breath, but I heard it just because
Speaker 4: I make Yeah, I mistook. We both were hitting a
Speaker 4: Kirkland signature ball, you know them for their muffins and
Speaker 4: winter tires. I was playing at Kirkland. He was playing
Speaker 4: a Kirklan. He's like, well, is there a black line
Speaker 4: on it? And I touched it to roll it over
Speaker 4: to see if there's a black line, and there was,
Speaker 4: and he said, don't touch my ball. And I'm like, huh,
Speaker 4: I was looking for this black line you were talking about.
Speaker 1: I was very calm. Yeah. And then it was so
Speaker 1: great because I just was like, he scared me.
Speaker 4: You know, sure, I don't want to fight, you know,
Speaker 4: young me would let him at least punch me. But
Speaker 4: and then later it was so funny because he we
Speaker 4: played a couple holes and he came back and he's like,
Speaker 4: have you guys found a phone? Like he left his
Speaker 4: stone somewhere. He had to do that thing where you
Speaker 4: get mad and then have to go back and find
Speaker 4: your phone.
Speaker 3: Very embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I really nice about it.
Speaker 4: Oh, I was to where he felt like such an idiot.
Speaker 4: I was like, do you have the Find your iPhone app?
Speaker 4: And he's like, I don't know, I think so. And
Speaker 4: then I went and showed him where his devices. It's like,
Speaker 4: see that's your Apple Watch and he's like, oh cool,
Speaker 4: so wherever it is you can actually even if someone
Speaker 4: picked it up, you can find them on the course.
Speaker 1: Still want to kick my fucking ass.
Speaker 5: Tough guy.
Speaker 4: And then afterwards he was, of course parked right next
Speaker 4: to me.
Speaker 1: I'll snake back to you and said, is this sure
Speaker 1: is your wait?
Speaker 4: I have a rattlesnake too, And you also drive a
Speaker 4: Honda a Cord And then we hugged a long embrace.
Speaker 4: We drove the same car.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, what were you going to say? He said?
Speaker 1: In the parking lot.
Speaker 4: Not only do we play the same balls, we also
Speaker 4: drove the same handa Cord.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a lot in common with this asshole.
Speaker 1: Do you think he.
Speaker 2: Was stressed out because of the political news channel he watches,
Speaker 2: Oh rightly?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I guarantee he's he's upset about the stuff
Speaker 4: that was planted at mar Labo.
Speaker 1: Was he kind of red?
Speaker 2: Was he read like me where when its hought outside
Speaker 2: him in the same color as my couch? Red in
Speaker 2: the face all the time?
Speaker 4: He was yeah, yeah, And he had a little bit
Speaker 4: of ink on his neck and some of that was red,
Speaker 4: so it was hard to tell. But uh, but I
Speaker 4: know that he was a conservative, probably not a fiscal
Speaker 4: conservative because he had a you know, he had a
Speaker 4: Honda Accord eight, same as mine.
Speaker 1: Anyway, those things bleed money.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: That is he's not fiscally conservative.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, we you and I both know they had
Speaker 4: that recall with the airbags, So that thing is he's
Speaker 4: probably why he's so upset on the course.
Speaker 2: He's scared all the time, ye is going to get
Speaker 2: into his mild fender bender and die?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's no airbag.
Speaker 4: From what I've read, it's charge an airbag deploys, but
Speaker 4: also along with shards of metal. So I've been meaning
Speaker 4: to get that fixed in my own car.
Speaker 2: But I like we should talk to our guests today
Speaker 2: about if they've ever experienced an air bag deploying.
Speaker 1: I think that's a really good That is a.
Speaker 4: Good opening question, Karen, Well, then that I think it
Speaker 4: only makes sense to bring our friend in.
Speaker 1: Would you do the honors. I'd love to thank you.
Speaker 2: Our guest today plays clubs and colleges all over this country.
Speaker 2: Now I'm talking like the TikTok voices that you can program. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you may know him from his podcast. I said, no gifts,
Speaker 2: but he's here today to make conversation.
Speaker 1: Please welcome the indomitable Sorry.
Speaker 2: No if that robot lady gave really really great introductions
Speaker 2: the evervesent an indomitable Bridger Winegar.
Speaker 5: The idea of the TikTok Lady being kind of a
Speaker 5: warm up for comedians.
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody.
Speaker 5: I've never I've never been in an accident where the
Speaker 5: air bag came out, and I feel like that I've
Speaker 5: been in accidents and that feels like a ripoff. They
Speaker 5: should come out regardless. I think just for the fun. Yeah,
Speaker 5: a little bit of drama that I got in a
Speaker 5: car accident late or deep pandemic and I was re
Speaker 5: ended by somebody, a guy whose middle name was Mallory
Speaker 5: and say no more sweetish sugar. He was very nice.
Speaker 5: I have nothing but good things to say about him.
Speaker 5: Obviously won't say first or last name. But nothing happened,
Speaker 5: nothing came out except for me probably getting some back
Speaker 5: problem that will manifest itself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's because you got rear ended. I
Speaker 4: think I've rear ended the chperd. Yeah, one, yeah, it's
Speaker 4: it's just there's no airbag that deploys from the back.
Speaker 1: Apparently I got rear ended horribly.
Speaker 4: The car was like, Oh, the tow truck driver thought
Speaker 4: he'd be coming across dead people. He said, It's like,
Speaker 4: you didn't need to say that out loud, but no airbags. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it would be nice to at least be given that credit,
Speaker 4: you know, right, yeah, just to legitimize.
Speaker 2: Your ret when you got rearended Bridger, did you, like,
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to picture it, did you like hit
Speaker 2: your teeth on the steering wheel or anything kind of like,
Speaker 2: because I've rear ended people and done that, But I
Speaker 2: was not the hit.
Speaker 1: I was the hitter or not hitter.
Speaker 5: The abuser.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 5: All that happened was I was just jolted and then
Speaker 5: started crying, which is insane, but I didn't know like
Speaker 5: what the emotional response was very strange. I mean, I think.
Speaker 5: I mean again, look, everyone knows I'm my guys guy,
Speaker 5: I'm a real man. Yeah, so crying is very infrequent
Speaker 5: for me, never seen, but this was deep pandemic. I
Speaker 5: was on my way to IKEA, it was already a
Speaker 5: stressful situation, and so I just I didn't know what
Speaker 5: to do with myself. I pulled into the chevron lot
Speaker 5: Mallory as we'll call him, was so nice. We both
Speaker 5: apologized to each other and yeah, my teeth didn't hit
Speaker 5: hit the steering wheel or anything. I kind of just
Speaker 5: got jolted forward in kind of a violent way where
Speaker 5: you're like, what just happened?
Speaker 2: It's so scary, like when you don't So did you
Speaker 2: not like see him coming in the rear view mirror anything?
Speaker 2: Did you hear like break skidding or was it just
Speaker 2: a full on slam?
Speaker 5: I certainly had the music on too loud, so I
Speaker 5: heard nothing coming from any direction. And I think it
Speaker 5: was one of those situations where we were all kind
Speaker 5: of waiting for the light, but like there was enough
Speaker 5: space for him to get some speed going before he
Speaker 5: hit me, right.
Speaker 2: So he just.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he rammed the back of your car.
Speaker 5: Right, and then yeah, I guess there was enough damage
Speaker 5: to go through the whole insurance process. So then, of
Speaker 5: course I stupidly was so nice to the insurance people.
Speaker 5: I've probably could have gotten a lot more out of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, boy, they did police come. That's that's why I'm
Speaker 4: nervous for my next wreck, because police were like, we're
Speaker 4: too busy, and they didn't come. So I just took
Speaker 4: pictures of insurance. No one was insured.
Speaker 1: I had to go be.
Speaker 4: Interrogated by some Geico lady who and it's funny, Karen
Speaker 4: just sounded like her. She I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Speaker 4: Before you said your head went back and then came forward,
Speaker 4: but that time you said you went forward and then
Speaker 4: it came back and forward. So was there an initial
Speaker 4: forward thing that you forgot about? Like, and I remember
Speaker 4: just saying, do you like this job? I just went
Speaker 4: but we did win. We did swollow the belt.
Speaker 1: She was, yeah, I know I shouldn't have said that,
Speaker 1: but well.
Speaker 2: But she's trying to get you on a technicality. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's the worst feeling is first of all car accidents,
Speaker 2: and I've caused so many in my life, I was
Speaker 2: the most irresponsible, reckless driver my dad one time, in
Speaker 2: a full state of rage, yelled, I said something about
Speaker 2: the car that I was driving, and he was like,
Speaker 2: well you bounced it off of every other car and
Speaker 2: Sacramento him and saying it was like every eight months
Speaker 2: I'd call and be like, hey, I got an a
Speaker 2: car accident.
Speaker 1: That's what I guess. You're a great driver. Now, thank you. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what it is.
Speaker 2: I just sped too much and I have I feel
Speaker 2: like people in a town like Los Angeles, where no
Speaker 2: one wants the hassle, no one wants that, like it
Speaker 2: is forty five minutes out of your day, you're as
Speaker 2: Bridgers saying, like totally jolted, you're braced for like injury.
Speaker 2: It's just a nightmare. It's just a And oftentimes the
Speaker 2: people are agro as hell. Like it's not like you're lucky.
Speaker 2: You got Mallory. That's a real blessing.
Speaker 5: Oh Mallory was an angel. And yeah, no police had
Speaker 5: to be involved, have no authorities. We just took a
Speaker 5: few light pictures and got insurance information that I like
Speaker 5: I saw.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Well, Yeah, I got out my cheesecloth and I went
Speaker 5: over our phones put portrait mode on.
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of staring off at the Big Tent.
Speaker 4: A couple of nights ago, I came home from a
Speaker 4: show and did what I always do, uh.
Speaker 1: In front of my garage.
Speaker 4: I got out of my car because I have to
Speaker 4: manually unlock the padlocks that locked my old wooden That
Speaker 4: garage door is from the thirties. And I left my
Speaker 4: car in drive and it rolled into the door and
Speaker 4: totally smashed it in.
Speaker 1: Oh, my car just drove through the door into the garage.
Speaker 5: It wanted to go home.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I really wanted to go home, and I tried
Speaker 4: to yank on it, but it was in drive. I
Speaker 4: thought I was just rolling. I left it in drive.
Speaker 4: I feel like such a fool, and that's terrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 2: It's also such a common I feel like the what's
Speaker 2: going on these days, the amount of stress people feel
Speaker 2: in every direction, that kind of short term stuff like
Speaker 2: I'm doing a lot of that, like where did I
Speaker 2: just put my keys? Type of shit, or like coming
Speaker 2: out of CBS and being like, why can't I find
Speaker 2: my keys? And then I look for fifteen minutes and
Speaker 2: they're in my pocket.
Speaker 1: Just like the minuscule moments of day to day stuff
Speaker 1: that we used to.
Speaker 2: Take for granted is very difficult these days. So loose
Speaker 2: for me, I should say.
Speaker 5: I left my keys in the lock overnight recently, and
Speaker 5: what a miracle. Any they would have been a buffet
Speaker 5: for our criminal. They could have taken the car, they
Speaker 5: could have killed me, They could have done truly whatever
Speaker 5: they wanted.
Speaker 1: They could have made copies.
Speaker 2: Left it there made you feel like nothing was going
Speaker 2: to happen in two months later.
Speaker 5: Boom, horrible high. I had in a situation like that
Speaker 5: once where I locked myself out of the apartment when
Speaker 5: we had moved back from New York to LA and
Speaker 5: I was home, Jim was away for some reason. I
Speaker 5: locked myself out of the apartment and called the locksmith,
Speaker 5: and in the time it took for the locksmith to
Speaker 5: get there, a neighbor had said, oh, we have a
Speaker 5: spare key to that apartment, so I no longer needed
Speaker 5: the locksmith. But the locksmith appeared and like through the
Speaker 5: glass of the lobby, I was like, you don't need
Speaker 5: to come here anymore. They were furious, But the idea
Speaker 5: of toying with the locksmith's oceans it's like that person
Speaker 5: knows how to get in. They no where I live. Yeap, Yeah,
Speaker 5: so that that Fortunately we've moved on, but that person
Speaker 5: could have easily come for me entirely.
Speaker 2: You know, that was why BTK became in an installer.
Speaker 2: It's that those are people who like control and like
Speaker 2: that idea, the access. They're the key master.
Speaker 5: They're the god. They move playing god God.
Speaker 4: About where did he do that? Because my dad installed
Speaker 4: alarm system in the Oakland.
Speaker 1: Area, BTK was Kansas City.
Speaker 4: I believe, midwesty right, Yes, I'm just trying to figure
Speaker 4: out if my dad's a murderer. Your dad is all things,
Speaker 4: he's pretty nice, he's really pretty kind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but although that's kind of those are the ones
Speaker 2: I don't expected it.
Speaker 1: I don't see it coming.
Speaker 5: It'd be interesting if there was a serial killer. There
Speaker 5: was just an asshole to everyone, and every everybody knew
Speaker 5: how awful everything added up in the perfect way.
Speaker 1: They're like, of course, it's that guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he told me he was going to kill me
Speaker 4: every time I walked past his house.
Speaker 1: Well there was, sir. I don't know.
Speaker 2: My laugh is different now and I really didn't like
Speaker 2: what it just sounds did make sound particularly sinister. But
Speaker 2: the reason I'm laughing is because someone rode into for
Speaker 2: a hometown of my favorite murder and said the BTK
Speaker 2: lived in his neighborhood and he was the dog catcher
Speaker 2: for a while, and he and and he took the
Speaker 2: guy that wrote in his dog because the dog had
Speaker 2: gotten out, and he took the dog in. BTK took
Speaker 2: the dog into his house and was holding his dog
Speaker 2: because he's like, I'm going to bring it down to
Speaker 2: the pound. But he wasn't on duty. It was just
Speaker 2: his neighbor's dog. And the neighbor guy went up and
Speaker 2: punched BTK and took his dog back. Oh wow, I
Speaker 2: know it's not awesome. And that was like literally like
Speaker 2: a week or two before he got arrested.
Speaker 4: That would be the only story you would ever tell
Speaker 4: people is oh I punched BTK once.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 5: And I'll also say anyone who does their job off
Speaker 5: the clock like that is obviously a murderer. Like I'm
Speaker 5: doing the dog catching job. I'm not even clocked in.
Speaker 2: In sin So you love to take people's beloved pets
Speaker 2: away from them because you're the opposite of Santa Claus.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's where, Yeah, I think anyone that doesn't have
Speaker 4: a nine to five is a murderer.
Speaker 1: You either clock out at five and have a big
Speaker 1: glass of bourbon and watch exactly like.
Speaker 4: A normal person, or otherwise you're on my naughty list.
Speaker 1: I've always said that you have I you've heard me
Speaker 1: say that, Ridger. What's going on?
Speaker 2: What do you what would you like to talk about
Speaker 2: today with us on do you Need to Ride the
Speaker 2: Car podcast?
Speaker 1: That's never in the car anymore?
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, let's just I'm just going to
Speaker 5: plant a little flag here. I almost said I almost
Speaker 5: said no to this because I thought soon this podcast
Speaker 5: in the next year is going to end up in
Speaker 5: a car and me being on zoom for this. I'm
Speaker 5: not going to for one second allow it not to
Speaker 5: I'm going to be in that car as soon as
Speaker 5: you start recording.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you will be.
Speaker 5: But you're not cutting around this, You're not editing this out.
Speaker 5: I will be in the car when it's recording in
Speaker 5: a car, and you will. And that's a promise. I
Speaker 5: will be getting a Starbucks with the two of you,
Speaker 5: and uh yeah, as soon as that happens. So the
Speaker 5: listener now knows, so you t will be called out.
Speaker 1: We have the waves.
Speaker 4: Set for the end of Donkey pox or whatever the
Speaker 4: next thing is.
Speaker 2: I feel like the donkey version of the pox is
Speaker 2: dying down now.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is.
Speaker 2: The according to the social media I look at, we
Speaker 2: have nothing to worry about. Ever, there's nothing going on
Speaker 2: with COVID anymore. They've decided to centralize this disease going
Speaker 2: around entirely.
Speaker 5: It's just kind of a scene, frequent nuisance that we
Speaker 5: all just deal with at this point.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And you know, all of the gays have gotten
Speaker 5: the monkey pox vaccine, and now I guess other people
Speaker 5: are getting it. I don't know how it works, but
Speaker 5: hopefully we've we're out of the woods sort of with
Speaker 5: these big diseases for ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I didn't mean to sound negative. We're out
Speaker 1: of the woods, you guys.
Speaker 5: But I mean, I mean, speaking of good news. I
Speaker 5: opened my inbox to click on the zoom link and
Speaker 5: learned that I'm part of something called the Pepsicho Tasty Rewards.
Speaker 5: Wow ah, they had sent me an email. Let's see
Speaker 5: what the subject line. I don't it says the subject
Speaker 5: is step into this tasty stadium. So I don't know
Speaker 5: how I got my only and this is probably This
Speaker 5: is humiliating. I must have signed up for some sort
Speaker 5: of sweepstakes with Pepsi as an adult, because how else
Speaker 5: would they have gotten my email?
Speaker 1: Can I'll here?
Speaker 2: I feel like it has something to do with going
Speaker 2: to the movies.
Speaker 5: Oh interesting, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean, like a ticket giveaway or some
Speaker 2: kind of snack bar, or it.
Speaker 1: Could be this.
Speaker 4: Sometimes at a grocery store, surrounded by a stack of
Speaker 4: PEPSI call there will be a go krt.
Speaker 1: And you want to win it. This is setting more
Speaker 1: of a reality.
Speaker 4: Were you trying to win a go kart at an
Speaker 4: Albertson's or Safe Way?
Speaker 1: Or is that my childhood for the best summer ever?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think it's just my childhood.
Speaker 5: I mean, Karen's theory says that I would have spent
Speaker 5: more money at a movie theater, which absolutely doesn't add
Speaker 5: up for my personality. I would not have been at
Speaker 5: the snack bar in any any situation. So then Chris's
Speaker 5: theory of entering the sweepstakes is sadly probably closer to
Speaker 5: the truth. There was probably like a mountain bike or
Speaker 5: something that I wanted to win, some sort of jet
Speaker 5: ski or something.
Speaker 2: John, you're kind of a you're positive, you're kind of
Speaker 2: a believer in that you if you you know, if
Speaker 2: you play, you could win, like you're opening up that
Speaker 2: door for yourself.
Speaker 5: I think it's a delusion and a difficult time learning lessons.
Speaker 5: You know, I've entered so many sweepstakes, and which one
Speaker 5: actually I have won one? I won one in eighth grade.
Speaker 5: I wonder if we've talked about this on this very podcast.
Speaker 1: Because I don't care. I don't believe.
Speaker 5: In eighth grade, I there was some sweepstakes that I
Speaker 5: entered over and over and over to win a I
Speaker 5: believe a Chrysler Sea Bring.
Speaker 4: No I wouldn't remembered, and it.
Speaker 5: Is a CONVERTI.
Speaker 2: It's the perfect bridger car for real, Like I can't
Speaker 2: think I have a better car for you.
Speaker 5: Ah well, I appreciate that I did win the sweepsakes,
Speaker 5: but I won like eighth place where I won, and
Speaker 5: this was an eighth grade well before puberty really set in.
Speaker 5: I won an electric shaver, which absolutely was not used
Speaker 5: for years, I think, to the point where it just
Speaker 5: got rusty and fell apart before I even needed to
Speaker 5: utilize that. So that's my big Sweepsakes moment. No Sea
Speaker 5: Bring for me.
Speaker 1: Oh, a child winning a razor is the best. That's
Speaker 1: fucking so great.
Speaker 2: But also that you were you had your eyes on
Speaker 2: the Seabring prize is what.
Speaker 5: I like, always going for that Seabring.
Speaker 2: I'm going to look at his picture of a Seabring
Speaker 2: right now because I feel like I'm able to picture
Speaker 2: it independently. But I wonder if I'm right.
Speaker 4: I could if this weir had video on, I would
Speaker 4: draw one from memory, and I think it would be
Speaker 4: pretty close.
Speaker 1: It's just a car with beautiful lines.
Speaker 5: Gorgeous contours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a perfect combination of comp act and luxury,
Speaker 4: sport and casual luxury.
Speaker 5: If you watch prices right between like nineteen ninety seven
Speaker 5: and two thousand and one, you certainly see. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just think of any car rotating that's a sea bring. Yep,
Speaker 1: it really is.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like, do you want to drive a
Speaker 2: convertible but you don't want all the attention?
Speaker 1: Get a sea bring.
Speaker 5: When was the last time you two were in a convertible?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: Behind? Have either of you ever been behind the wheel.
Speaker 1: Of a convertible?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have to say it would be some
Speaker 1: sort of parade where I yeah, last time I was
Speaker 1: just kind of waving. I was just doing that twisty
Speaker 1: risk wave.
Speaker 4: I mean, I hate bringing up being Home Homecoming prints again,
Speaker 4: but it probably was during that parade.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's I mean, if you can bring.
Speaker 4: It up, I think, you know what I think. One
Speaker 4: time I was doing stand up in Texas and I rented.
Speaker 4: Of course, it was a Mustang, and of course I
Speaker 4: went for the convertible and it was.
Speaker 1: Way too hot out.
Speaker 4: It was like one hundred and something, but I had
Speaker 4: that top down and just my sweat was slapping the
Speaker 4: car behind me.
Speaker 1: You gotta use the top down if you had the option.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think the last time I was in a
Speaker 2: car like that. And once again, I'm going to be
Speaker 2: talking about Ja Johnston of Mister Show, who.
Speaker 1: Had the very late life twisteroo.
Speaker 2: Of being on January sixth insurrection. But I'm going to
Speaker 2: talk about the Jay I used to know, which was
Speaker 2: pre Proud Boy Ja Johnston. His favorite thing was to
Speaker 2: drive those you know, those Scouts, which are like they're
Speaker 2: kind of like Jeeps and that kind of like suburbans
Speaker 2: combined and they have roll bars but no roof.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love a Scout.
Speaker 2: He always had a scout or a scout like car,
Speaker 2: and so I think that was the last time.
Speaker 1: Also because that if you have to be a very specific.
Speaker 2: Kind of girl to make a convertible work for you
Speaker 2: and your hair, I'm the kind of girl. I immediately
Speaker 2: look greasy, like I work at a hot dog stand.
Speaker 1: Like you drive three blocks.
Speaker 2: My hair is greasy, and I'm kind of like it's
Speaker 2: instead of looking wind swept, I look like I just
Speaker 2: look a little oily.
Speaker 5: Part of this is stuck to the head rest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just kind of like some people's hair.
Speaker 2: It's like it's it's all complimentary, or maybe they tie
Speaker 2: it up in a yeah.
Speaker 4: Scar for scarves like in Felman Louise, Yes, for sure.
Speaker 4: Do you have to be prepared, Yeah, to drive off
Speaker 4: a cliff and hold your best friend's hand.
Speaker 3: What are we all?
Speaker 5: Movie?
Speaker 1: I just watched it the other day. It's a terrific film.
Speaker 5: I've never seen it.
Speaker 4: They well, it's good. I don't want to ruin it
Speaker 4: for you. But at the end they just kill themselves.
Speaker 1: They kill themselves and I forgot about it because I
Speaker 1: hadn't seen it since I.
Speaker 5: Was a kid.
Speaker 1: But they just drive off a cliff.
Speaker 4: And they look at each other and they you want
Speaker 4: to end this, and they kind of smile and grab
Speaker 4: it and it's a freeze frame. They just drive off
Speaker 4: and it freezes, and then the credits roll on a
Speaker 4: frozen car right before their death, and I'm like, wow,
Speaker 4: this was a grim, grim ass movie. I don't remember
Speaker 4: so rough.
Speaker 2: I remember being in the theater and just being like,
Speaker 2: you've got to be fucking kidding me.
Speaker 1: This is it.
Speaker 2: Like, so, here's the thing. Women, when you're down and
Speaker 2: out and you're driven, you know you're you kill Basically,
Speaker 2: they killed a rapist and we're being pursued by the cops,
Speaker 2: and the cops are being told, hey, you're not right
Speaker 2: about this, and then they're just like fuck it, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Let's just both die.
Speaker 5: Yeah what well, Look, I have not seen the movie,
Speaker 5: but from what I've just been told, it seems like
Speaker 5: you two are just you are making some big assumptions
Speaker 5: about what happens to that car freeze frame. We don't
Speaker 5: know what happens. Then they might be rewarded for their
Speaker 5: heroic things. Maybe the car keeps flying through the air
Speaker 5: like in Greece. I always that's a great situation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there needs to be a sequel where they
Speaker 4: land on just a natural boat ramp.
Speaker 1: And it turns to a boat and it's just part
Speaker 1: two and the boat car then movie Boat Cars the sequel.
Speaker 4: I have to apologize for giving away the end Bridget
Speaker 4: to helm in Louise. It's maybe something you would have
Speaker 4: wanted to watch. It's trending right now on Netflix. I'm
Speaker 4: really sorry.
Speaker 5: What if I had always assumed that was the beginning
Speaker 5: of the movie.
Speaker 1: What they did after their attempted suicide.
Speaker 5: They're all alive. Yeah, we've been given a second chance.
Speaker 2: A lot of physical therapy appointments, a lot of casts
Speaker 2: being hung up by wires.
Speaker 1: Oh there's a part in that movie that I really adore,
Speaker 1: a door adore.
Speaker 2: And it's the kind of thing I feel like it
Speaker 2: was improvised by Geena Davis, who I think is still
Speaker 2: so unsung when she is a supermodel. She can do comedy,
Speaker 2: she can do drama, she's so gorgeous. Action, she can
Speaker 2: do action. She can do Goodnight is amazing, amazing. She
Speaker 2: had the lips that everyone has gotten themselves now. She
Speaker 2: had naturally in the eighties. She was like amazing face.
Speaker 2: God gave her the lips, got they're from God, not
Speaker 2: doctor whoever done?
Speaker 4: She was an Olympic hopeful in the Biathlete. That's where
Speaker 4: you don't know that ski and ski and shoot a
Speaker 4: rifle ski.
Speaker 2: She's a skier shooter. Yeah, excellent. Was she hopeful or
Speaker 2: did she make it? She's really good.
Speaker 1: It needs to be wikipedied. You know.
Speaker 2: There's a part in that movie where she's on the
Speaker 2: phone with Louise Orthel Mike can remember which one which
Speaker 2: isn't Saranda, and she's nervous. They're trying to figure out
Speaker 2: something there. It's before all their whole adventure starts, and
Speaker 2: she's all nervous, and she keeps opening the freezer, pulling
Speaker 2: out a Snicker, taking a bite and putting it back
Speaker 2: and shutting the door, and then talking a little bit
Speaker 2: and going back and taking another bite. So she's she's
Speaker 2: essentially eating a Snickers like bit by bit, pretending she's
Speaker 2: not doing it. And I like, I've done nuts all
Speaker 2: my life. And then when I saw it on the screen,
Speaker 2: I was just like, this is the funniest thing of
Speaker 2: all time where you're basically pretending to yourself you're not
Speaker 2: eating a Snickers, but you're just like opening the door
Speaker 2: real fast, taking a bite and putting it back it.
Speaker 4: That's so great, that's what I get. I'm a big
Speaker 4: Snickers ice cream bar guy. And yeah, I open that
Speaker 4: freezer ten times because I just take little bites and
Speaker 4: then I keep you want each bite to stay cold.
Speaker 5: That's right, it's kind of stretched you.
Speaker 1: But do you think that Geena Davis improvised that.
Speaker 2: It was just such a kind of a natural Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, who knows, because yeah, unless the writer's great
Speaker 2: and you know, knows women that well, or is a woman,
Speaker 2: or Gina Davis was just doing it because that's real,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, anything is possible, it feels like.
Speaker 2: But speaking of that blind alley, I just drove us down.
Speaker 5: Is no, really, that's a blind alley. I would talk
Speaker 5: about Snickers and eating them out of a freezer for
Speaker 5: the rest of the podcast. But I don't want to
Speaker 5: cut you off here.
Speaker 2: No, no, you're not cutting off because I was going
Speaker 2: to ask you what is your frozen what's your ideal
Speaker 2: dream frozen treat or your top three however you want
Speaker 2: to do it.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think we have to start with the
Speaker 5: Snickers ice cream. I mean, it really is an amazing
Speaker 5: product when you think about it, because they took this
Speaker 5: thing we all loved, created something that is kind of
Speaker 5: just a completely different idea, didn't really change any of
Speaker 5: the branding or anything, and created a perfect, a similarly
Speaker 5: perfect product that only barely has some resemblance to real Snickers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because nugat.
Speaker 4: Come on, people like to say it, but no one
Speaker 4: wants to eat it outside.
Speaker 5: Of being in a Snickers Forgive I mean, excuse me.
Speaker 4: It's just a plate of nougat at a party. You're
Speaker 4: supposed to your finger through it.
Speaker 2: I feel like nugat it was is like a European delicacy,
Speaker 2: candy that does not feel like something that would be
Speaker 2: from the set of amidaeis like just a nugat with
Speaker 2: a one nutt right next.
Speaker 5: To a Turkish delight.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly thing. It feels like.
Speaker 2: How it started and they were like, well, let's reintroduce
Speaker 2: it in this candy bar.
Speaker 5: So it got some They twisted it up in a
Speaker 5: way that worked for Snickers, and then the Snickers ice
Speaker 5: cream bar kind of has peanut butter in it.
Speaker 1: Right, Uh, there's certainly peanuts in it.
Speaker 4: I've even had the almond version and it just doesn't
Speaker 4: no of fence to anyone out there with the big allergy.
Speaker 4: But I like the peanut version made way a little Yeah, but.
Speaker 5: I will say, as far as Snickers goes a Snickers
Speaker 5: with almonds, that's my bar of choice. I mean, so
Speaker 5: it has kind of a dark history.
Speaker 1: Used to be a Mars bar. It used to be
Speaker 1: a Mars.
Speaker 5: Bar, and I loved the Mars packaging so much. It
Speaker 5: was beautiful, it was so tasteful and made you feel
Speaker 5: so classy. And now it's just like a branch of
Speaker 5: the Snickers. But I mean, God bless, I'm happy it's back.
Speaker 5: But there was no reason for the Mars bar, which
Speaker 5: is also different from what's so famous in the UK,
Speaker 5: the Mars Bar, which is a whole other thing.
Speaker 2: It's in the UK, they call it a Mars bar,
Speaker 2: but the bar to Americans is a milky way right right.
Speaker 5: The American Mars Bar was kind of what we now
Speaker 5: know as the Snickers Almond. Yes, but I love Snickers almond.
Speaker 5: But Snickers is now getting out of control. I feel
Speaker 5: like they've done a brownie thing. I'm not even going
Speaker 5: to touch that. You know, that's gonna be one of
Speaker 5: those weird Airline Brownies. They've like, they've done things without crunch,
Speaker 5: like a lot of bars with and you need that
Speaker 5: little peanut or almondon. Yeah, I'm a texture guy, right maybe,
Speaker 5: I mean, if they were willing to try it, well,
Speaker 5: cashews are a little bit soft. I don't know how
Speaker 5: that would feel inside a candy bar, but I'm willing
Speaker 5: to try.
Speaker 1: How about this thing made.
Speaker 5: The Snickers goes Hawaii and put some macadamia nuts in there.
Speaker 2: Oh I love a macadamia nut, I really do.
Speaker 5: They're so delicious and you can picture the Snickers on
Speaker 5: a surfboard campaign.
Speaker 1: It's it right there with the anthropprimorphized human feet.
Speaker 4: If we keep talking about this bridge, you're gonna get
Speaker 4: an email from the Snickers people about a sweepstakes you
Speaker 4: didn't even know about.
Speaker 1: Snickers Taste them.
Speaker 2: What if the macadamia Snickers is based on the character
Speaker 2: that they create, which would be funny because they don't
Speaker 2: have characters for their other candy bars, but they create
Speaker 2: one specifically for the Hawaiian Snickers, And it's from that
Speaker 2: picture of Mark Zucker who was like oil boarding and
Speaker 2: had too much spf on his face. But its Snickers,
Speaker 2: and they're like Snickers macadamia.
Speaker 5: His face kind of looks like a kind of a
Speaker 5: white almond with all that stuff on it. Yeah, that
Speaker 5: makes perfect sense to me. Yeah, he's got a candy face,
Speaker 5: a candy face.
Speaker 1: He's kind of got.
Speaker 2: An abandoned Victorian child face. So it makes sense. Like
Speaker 2: it there's a subconscious link, I think when you're looking
Speaker 2: at him and you're like, oh, candy, it would make
Speaker 2: you buy candy.
Speaker 5: He looks kind of like one of those like a
Speaker 5: Victorian doll that they burn in the Secret Garden. Do
Speaker 5: you know when they're burning all of this stuff, it
Speaker 5: feels like one of the dolls they would have thrown
Speaker 5: into the Why were they burning things in the Secret Garden?
Speaker 5: Do you remember that.
Speaker 2: The boy had scarlet fever okay, or one of those
Speaker 2: Victorian child illnesses that were not talked about, but the
Speaker 2: child literally sat in the house dying while everyone else
Speaker 2: tried to ag normal. That was one of my favorite,
Speaker 2: like when I got introduced to that world as like
Speaker 2: an eight year old or a seven year old, where
Speaker 2: it's like, I'm sorry, we just have someone dying in
Speaker 2: the back room and everyone else is acting normal, Like
Speaker 2: this is the book for me? And there's like a
Speaker 2: weird wafy child because the girl had to go in
Speaker 2: and like make friends with him, and he's.
Speaker 1: Like, I can't go outside, and she's like, yes, you can.
Speaker 1: She makes him go outside.
Speaker 5: So that's what it was. She was bringing him to
Speaker 5: her secret garden. Is that's the basic plot of that.
Speaker 5: And for some reason a bunch of things got burned.
Speaker 2: Well because he had a communicable disease, I think, so
Speaker 2: maybe it was like once he caught it, they had
Speaker 2: to get rid of all his shit and he wasn't
Speaker 2: allowed to go outside or have fun or have toys,
Speaker 2: because you know, the Victorian version of don Keypowks.
Speaker 4: I know that I've read this book. It's one of
Speaker 4: my earliest book reading experiences.
Speaker 1: And I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the burning.
Speaker 2: I don't remember the burning, but I don't really remember
Speaker 2: reading the book because then the little House in the
Speaker 2: Prairie series came in like a tornado and all else
Speaker 2: was forgotten. But there is a really good Secret Garden
Speaker 2: live action movie from the Is it the nineties or
Speaker 2: the earl.
Speaker 5: Mostos, I feel like it's like late eighties. I mean,
Speaker 5: because I remember watching it as a kid and being
Speaker 5: so scared and like why are things getting burned? And
Speaker 5: then being delighted by of course, secret gardening.
Speaker 2: The idea of a secret garden is, first of all,
Speaker 2: you live in house in a like an aestate so
Speaker 2: big that there can be a secret garden, right, just
Speaker 2: like check this shit out. A walled garden.
Speaker 5: Yeah, to have a garden that nobody really even gets
Speaker 5: to use, that's the dream, just your own little patch
Speaker 5: where the sick kid gets to hang out.
Speaker 2: I mean, because it was the dead mother's garden. Remember,
Speaker 2: Oh is that true? And she died never maybe I
Speaker 2: know she the first person we hold on. Oh, it's
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 1: The movie I Secret.
Speaker 2: Garden was from nineteen ninety three. We got a Maggie
Speaker 2: Smith in there. Oh, Francis Ford Coppola directed in it.
Speaker 1: Here's the Little Boy.
Speaker 2: It was almost like she was staying with this family
Speaker 2: because her dad had to go off to war and
Speaker 2: her mother died.
Speaker 1: It was her mother's secret garden. Were dying kids.
Speaker 4: She fell from a branch in the Sacred Garden while
Speaker 4: pregnant with Colin.
Speaker 5: Wait, she was climbing a tree while pregnant.
Speaker 1: Yes, I believe. Yes, this woman was nuts. She was reckless.
Speaker 1: She shouldn't be gardening if you're pregnant or pruning tall trees.
Speaker 1: That's insane. Stay away from ladders, please.
Speaker 4: It's hard enough work to keep a giant garden a sacred.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a giant piece of land that's outside.
Speaker 4: Someone's going to know about it.
Speaker 1: They could see those walls.
Speaker 2: I mean that was the cool part of it is
Speaker 2: the idea of a locked It's like a locked area
Speaker 2: you're not allowed to go into.
Speaker 5: I love any any forbidden area, a small door gated garden.
Speaker 5: I want to see what's happening back there?
Speaker 1: Yes, And are there bodies buried in there? I always
Speaker 1: go to that. Is there a witch involved somehow? Come on?
Speaker 5: Is a mom falling from a branch?
Speaker 1: Witch? Like in her witch?
Speaker 5: Cost?
Speaker 1: Was it Halloween? Een? I went?
Speaker 4: There was a bar that I went to, and I
Speaker 4: e I have known. All I remember is going to
Speaker 4: this place and there was a waiting room. Someone's sitting
Speaker 4: at a desk, and they gave you a key and
Speaker 4: you unlock a closet, so you open this bureau and
Speaker 4: there's jackets in there, and you scooed them to the
Speaker 4: side and open the door and go downstairs, and you're in.
Speaker 1: This speakeasy bar with like cigars and drug use.
Speaker 5: Now, how do you feel about an artificial secret.
Speaker 1: One that's implanted.
Speaker 6: Ah, I'm just gonna find a government.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we all better get used to it.
Speaker 5: We've got them coursing through our vein.
Speaker 1: Yeah, micro chips, that's what we're talking about, right.
Speaker 5: What if I told you could get an artificial secret,
Speaker 5: very tiny at any of your local pharmacies. What if
Speaker 5: a rite aid employee, your common right aid employee, could
Speaker 5: let the government track you.
Speaker 1: Well, well here we are, here, we are.
Speaker 2: You go to get the vaccine, and then employee just
Speaker 2: walks up and whispers.
Speaker 1: Like, don't go into the garden, mother, Just like what
Speaker 1: I'm looking for some medicine please.
Speaker 5: There's a sick ride aid in every store who just
Speaker 5: wants to have fun and make friends. They're locked up in.
Speaker 2: The back, constantly wearing a shawl, just creeping around in
Speaker 2: the vitamin area, whispering to people.
Speaker 1: Stop it, Steven.
Speaker 4: And then you try and find them, and the manager
Speaker 4: comes over and says, I'm sorry, but that person hasn't
Speaker 4: worked here in thirty years.
Speaker 2: Classic we've finally written Secret Garden too.
Speaker 4: Separate Rite Aid Gardens, the ghostly pharmacist Colin.
Speaker 2: Can I just brag real quick going back to Mars
Speaker 2: bars please, I that was used to be my candy
Speaker 2: of choice. I also feel ripped off and lessened by
Speaker 2: almond Snickers because it's not the same. And when I
Speaker 2: was in high school, for my I believe it was
Speaker 2: my sixteenth birthday, my friend Patti Riley Rip gave me
Speaker 2: a brown bag from seven to eleven with sixteen Mars
Speaker 2: bar That was my birthday present.
Speaker 5: Dream.
Speaker 2: It's just the thing I know you like, and I'm like, well, thanks,
Speaker 2: like yes, thank you. Because also it's pretty great to
Speaker 2: get like a massive amount of candy like that, because
Speaker 2: you never.
Speaker 5: Really see it like that. You always you see the
Speaker 5: individual bar in your cover or whatever. But to see
Speaker 5: just like the bounty, yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 4: Just protruding from a bag like on the front of
Speaker 4: a French bicycle, like.
Speaker 1: So many tiny chocolate almond candy bar.
Speaker 4: Back ass yes, yes, and then you have a French
Speaker 4: little French curly mustache.
Speaker 1: But it's only chocolate.
Speaker 2: It's chocolate and caramel with a little almond for your face.
Speaker 1: Chris what's your what's your candy bar of choice?
Speaker 4: It's funny because you know me to not be a
Speaker 4: big sweet tooth, but I really am, and I brought
Speaker 4: it into that I'd really I am a Snicker's ice
Speaker 4: cream bar. I have to go full peanut. But I'm
Speaker 4: real boring. I say what everyone says always, and it
Speaker 4: is I get very excited about Ariese's Peanut butter Cup,
Speaker 4: and I think it's because it's two servings. It's like
Speaker 4: you have one thing and then immediately another thing to
Speaker 4: look forward to or save.
Speaker 1: It's two servings.
Speaker 4: That's what I need is someone to tell me to
Speaker 4: stop halfway through. And the people at Reese has figured
Speaker 4: that out with the pieces though. Yeah, like the pieces.
Speaker 4: I'll eat the whole bag like it like an excitable et.
Speaker 2: So you're peanut butter candy person, Yes, I am peanut
Speaker 2: butter and chocolate together.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's that classic tale of I'm sorry, but
Speaker 4: I just rammed my chocolate truck into your peanut butter wagon? Whips?
Speaker 4: Is there going to be a lawsuit? Wait a minute,
Speaker 4: let me taste it first, and then everyone became.
Speaker 1: Rich bags in that commercial.
Speaker 5: No, No, you don't need them face full of peanut.
Speaker 1: You don't need air bags.
Speaker 4: When you eat so much chocolate, you get a big
Speaker 4: old air bag of ass.
Speaker 5: Chris, let me ask you, as someone who likes peanut
Speaker 5: butter and two servings.
Speaker 4: Thank you, peb twigs. I have never had one, but
Speaker 4: I have. Oh my god, I want it right now.
Speaker 4: I'll go get it right after we're done recording.
Speaker 1: And you can.
Speaker 3: You can?
Speaker 1: You can. That's a promise.
Speaker 5: Incredible, I mean it did have. That's another candy bar
Speaker 5: with a kind of a storied history of the company.
Speaker 4: Not quite knowing what to do, they introduced the wafers
Speaker 4: in there, right, the waifers in there? Sure the cookie
Speaker 4: it's not yet. Oh yeah, it was a wafer. It
Speaker 4: would never work.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I don't know why you're thinking of
Speaker 1: a KitKat.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I turned it into an airy wafer. Of course I was.
Speaker 1: I was imagining get it. I'm a sweet too. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm svery gravy boy, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: What are your three favorite gravies?
Speaker 1: Don't get me started, but it start.
Speaker 4: Brown, gray, lands lucent, the natural kind that comes just
Speaker 4: sleeping out of the turkey. Your grandma calls it gravy,
Speaker 4: but really it should have been discarded.
Speaker 1: Just oil. Yeah, I am. I am a bit of
Speaker 1: a gravy boy. Been riding that gravy train for a while.
Speaker 2: Can I just say, let me warn you about because
Speaker 2: I know I'm concerned about the peanut butter Twigs and
Speaker 2: I want to hear the dark history behind the Twigs issue.
Speaker 2: But I think I know what you're to say. They
Speaker 2: tried to change their cookie to chocolate peanut butter.
Speaker 5: This is how have we never discussed this? I cannot
Speaker 5: believe you and I may be the only people who
Speaker 5: have closely tracked the history for Twigs.
Speaker 2: We're the only people on that comment board on the
Speaker 2: Mars eminem Mar, what the fuck are you.
Speaker 1: Doing with this? It was like, so, okay, let me
Speaker 1: just say this.
Speaker 2: A peanut butter Twix was awesome because it essentially was
Speaker 2: half Reese's half Twigs. So you have a cookie, you
Speaker 2: have the peanut butter filling and some chocolate. Here's the problem.
Speaker 2: They couldn't figure out this is what I'm assuming they
Speaker 2: couldn't figure out the preservative situation because I couldn't buy
Speaker 2: one that was fresh. I was like, I'm the one
Speaker 2: that's buying these, and I've bought I bought ten in
Speaker 2: a row that were all like crumbly peanut butter stale,
Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, I have to give up.
Speaker 2: And then the next time I saw them, they're like,
Speaker 2: now what the chocolate cookie. I'm like, it's not your
Speaker 2: fucking problem. You are misinterpreting what the problem here is.
Speaker 2: It's not that people didn't like the cookie. It's that
Speaker 2: people don't like your crumbly old peanut butter.
Speaker 1: Interesting signed missus k l Kill Garrett.
Speaker 5: That makes perfect sense. I mean so, yeah, there was
Speaker 5: the period I feel like in the early to mid
Speaker 5: nineties when they had peeb Twigs. When it first was introduced,
Speaker 5: we all loved it. Then it vanished from the market completely. Yeah,
Speaker 5: returned years later, says Twigs is dark period. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 5: that kind of the dark ages.
Speaker 1: Yeah, kind kind of medieval candy.
Speaker 5: Ara, right, this lost history in the brand. They return
Speaker 5: to market with the classic flavor, and I will say
Speaker 5: I had some excellent bars during that period. But then,
Speaker 5: as Karen mentioned, classic classic butter, classic where the peanut
Speaker 5: butter was the texture you needed it, the cookie was crunchy,
Speaker 5: the chocolate was delicious and came together.
Speaker 1: Mid nineties.
Speaker 5: This was now what, I'm well mid nineties. I never
Speaker 5: had a bad one, and also I was a child,
Speaker 5: so it was probably god knows what my tastes were.
Speaker 5: But as a teen and college student in the thousands,
Speaker 5: I returned to the peeb Twigs and had so many
Speaker 5: good experiences until they got nervous. They got a little
Speaker 5: flighty and changed it to the chocolate bar. And then
Speaker 5: it was not it tasted bad.
Speaker 6: It tasted bad because it wasn't chocolate.
Speaker 1: It was like it was almost like Oreo, like you ditter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was not like it wasn't a burst of flavor.
Speaker 5: It wasn't like, wow, this is really adding something. It
Speaker 5: was detracting well.
Speaker 2: And also I think they tried to pick up on
Speaker 2: remember when Oreo just started doing every dumb flavor, they
Speaker 2: could think, oh boy, and people it became a conversation piece.
Speaker 1: Maybe that was influencing them in a way.
Speaker 5: Interesting. Yeah, that kind of makes sense where But then
Speaker 5: I think I would not be surprised if I had
Speaker 5: written into the company during that period, because I was
Speaker 5: furious they finally reverse course. And now I believe you
Speaker 5: can get a peeb Twix with a regular cookie. But
Speaker 5: I will say this, I really feels like a confidence
Speaker 5: issue for the Mars company. What they need to be
Speaker 5: more confident and put that in regular grocery source. It
Speaker 5: was usually only like something you can find a gas stations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: It was like a specialty, almost like seasonal candy. They
Speaker 2: were treating it special. I just would love to know
Speaker 2: what the problem was.
Speaker 5: Well, that's and I mean that kind of speaks to
Speaker 5: your problem, Karen. I wonder if you were getting them
Speaker 5: at these gas stations and they had been sitting on
Speaker 5: the counter for so long.
Speaker 1: Yes, because no one likes it but you and me, right.
Speaker 5: Well, but Mars was not putting the marketing box behind
Speaker 5: it to get people eating it, so you were eating
Speaker 5: old product.
Speaker 2: I was doing the work of thousands and thousands of
Speaker 2: any purchasers where I'm like, fine, I'll just eat it.
Speaker 1: So it's chitty stock.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's oh, such a shame.
Speaker 4: I just remembered. And I don't know if this is
Speaker 4: going to do. You rail that And I've been quiet
Speaker 4: for a little bit. I think my neighbor it sounded
Speaker 4: like she was fighting and it was getting physical, and
Speaker 4: also while someone was playing the trumpet a horn.
Speaker 5: I don't know what was bend is breaking up.
Speaker 1: We thought you were just thinking about gravy.
Speaker 4: She just left quickly, and I if I weren't podcasting,
Speaker 4: I would be saying if everything was okay. But in
Speaker 4: that time I remembered the grasshopp because you mentioned the
Speaker 4: Oreo that the grasshopper cookies.
Speaker 3: Remember those mint ones?
Speaker 1: I forgot. I love those.
Speaker 4: Wait, no, they have a grasshopper on them, like it's
Speaker 4: an oreo.
Speaker 1: And you know, on the.
Speaker 4: Cookie part there's a profile of a cartoon grasshopper.
Speaker 1: And the in the cream in the middle is mint.
Speaker 1: It's green. You've never heard of this. You've never heard
Speaker 1: of a green grass.
Speaker 5: I would buy something with a cartoon grasshopper. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: they dip some of them were dipped in chocolate. You
Speaker 5: get the full dipped you know cover I think did
Speaker 5: that later. But yeah, it's a mint. So I'm a
Speaker 5: big You can add peanut butter or you can add mint.
Speaker 5: But I guess I'm a.
Speaker 4: Little bit of a gravy boy, but I'm also a
Speaker 4: bit of a chocolate peanut butter mint man.
Speaker 5: So those are outside of the realm of like a
Speaker 5: thin mint or whatever the Keebler family is creating.
Speaker 4: Oh, I very much. I'm ninety percent. I'm sure it's
Speaker 4: a Keebler, Keebler vehicle product.
Speaker 2: Keebler does have a Grasshopper cookie that is that is
Speaker 2: they have mint and fudge.
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, Minton fudge. Is that what it is?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so.
Speaker 2: It's completely coated in chocolate on the outside.
Speaker 1: That's the thing that's pretty exciting. Yeah, there's different phases
Speaker 1: of enjoyment layers, and I'm really levels I kind of
Speaker 1: want to get one of those.
Speaker 5: I've never been able to follow the path of Girl
Speaker 5: Scout Cookie to Keebler or Keebler to Girl Scout Cookie,
Speaker 5: because one of these two organizations is stealing the ideas
Speaker 5: of the other one. Because I feel like Keebler has
Speaker 5: basically all of their cookies are essentially Girl Scout cookies.
Speaker 2: Did they make a deal with them or do you
Speaker 2: think they're just like, oh, we we also love a samoa,
Speaker 2: so we'll just make that too.
Speaker 4: I think it's a good question, so doing the same thing,
Speaker 4: because I remember in the eighties little elves would come
Speaker 4: to my door and sell them. I'll see that was
Speaker 4: you know some of my jokes. Oftentimes they don't really
Speaker 4: I do like that idea though, a little animated ELF's
Speaker 4: knocking on the door selling them.
Speaker 5: I would love that.
Speaker 1: It would be nice. Would they be very small? Very
Speaker 1: very small.
Speaker 4: It's like a situation where you know, you have one
Speaker 4: of those barn style doors where the bottom and the
Speaker 4: top open independently of each other, and you're like, hello,
Speaker 4: I could have sworn someone was knocking on the door,
Speaker 4: and then you have to look down to see your
Speaker 4: new little animated elf friend.
Speaker 2: And you would be like, no, solicitors, slam the door
Speaker 2: and the elf walks through a little split in the
Speaker 2: wood at the bottom.
Speaker 1: I'm inside anyway, Yeah, this.
Speaker 5: Is a home invasion, yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but very small.
Speaker 5: Scar All of a.
Speaker 4: Sudden, he's been leprec on the horror movie and he
Speaker 4: is a tiny dagger.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Keebler.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is a complete ripoff of a Samoa Kepler
Speaker 2: Coconut Dreams, and they're not giving any credit.
Speaker 5: Shameless. I mean again, maybe the Keebler people are thinking
Speaker 5: of the ideas. I don't want to cast blame in
Speaker 5: either direction, but one is obviously like a giant corporation
Speaker 5: and the other is the Girl's Scouts, And I don't
Speaker 5: know how how much money is happening on the Girl
Speaker 5: Scouts side, but someone is stealing someone's ideas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh wait a second, there's you can get a
Speaker 2: poster with all the different flavors of Girl Scout cookies
Speaker 2: on them. What if I got that and just hung
Speaker 2: it up, like tacked it up in my front room.
Speaker 5: Just finally got some art to hang on the wall.
Speaker 1: Guys, look what I took down Chris's Kadd's painting and
Speaker 1: put up his matted poster of cookies.
Speaker 2: Just so, just so we have a key, so we
Speaker 2: know what we're eating. I know what we're talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's important, it's important. He can Sandy's Keebler makes a
Speaker 2: cookie called Peacan Sandy's.
Speaker 5: They are so dry, so dry.
Speaker 2: It's like a short bread cookie with little peckcon chips
Speaker 2: in it.
Speaker 1: It is four old women cloak strictly.
Speaker 2: And one summer we went to our family always went
Speaker 2: to Blue Lake with our family friends of the hospitals
Speaker 2: and the Gearings.
Speaker 1: And one summer, my aunt Jean was in charge. There
Speaker 1: was like I think.
Speaker 2: Four or five kids, like we're all twelve and thirteen
Speaker 2: or whatever, and she was in charge of bringing like
Speaker 2: the snacks and she brought. She went to Luckies in
Speaker 2: our hometown, Yucky Luckies on the boulevard, and she bought
Speaker 2: Pecan Sandy's and Diet Doctor Skipper. Those were the two
Speaker 2: products she bought for the kids. And we gave her
Speaker 2: shit for like every day of the ten day vacation
Speaker 2: and then since that time, where you'd be like, great idea,
Speaker 2: Aunt Jean, how about some Peacan sandies?
Speaker 1: And I thought they were good.
Speaker 2: Were just like this is literally a cookie that was
Speaker 2: invented to eat while you're drinking tea in a nursing home.
Speaker 1: Like, what are you?
Speaker 2: You could have bought us anything at the store and
Speaker 2: these are the things you bring on vacation.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Even the packaging of the Sandy's is like for adults,
Speaker 5: it's not fun looking. It looks like something you bring
Speaker 5: to book club or something. It's not for children.
Speaker 1: And what is this doctor Skipper? Yeah, I've never heard
Speaker 1: of doctor two characters from Gilgan's Island Anisota together Professor Skipper.
Speaker 1: I guess sorry, we've got.
Speaker 2: To get ginger in there. No, it was the ripoff
Speaker 2: of Diet Doctor Pepper. It was that grocery stores rip
Speaker 2: off Diet Doctor Care. It was like diet Doctor Skipper,
Speaker 2: and we're like, first of all, we're twelve, so we
Speaker 2: don't need any diet beverages, thank you. Secondly, at least
Speaker 2: just get a chips Ahoy, Like, at.
Speaker 1: Least think of the group who likes pecan if.
Speaker 4: It's got to be, not get chips Ahoy, not this
Speaker 4: doctor Skipper, not that boot is sinking.
Speaker 1: That's while we're.
Speaker 5: All I mean before and we don't have to move
Speaker 5: away from this topic, but I just want to like
Speaker 5: publicly bring up the memory of the Eel Fudge chocolate
Speaker 5: peanut butter sandwich cookies. Do you remember these? Yeah, there
Speaker 5: was another corporation making a horrible move that affects me
Speaker 5: in such a crazy way.
Speaker 1: Other Fudge. He was one of the keyl He lived
Speaker 1: in the treehouse.
Speaker 4: Right, he's kind of the king or the bo Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's the Papa Smurf of them.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: And you know the Eel Fudge sandwich cookies, right that
Speaker 5: are kind of shaped like an elf, that have chocolate
Speaker 5: in the middle and the outside of a vanilla.
Speaker 1: Certainly I've forgotten about it for decades. They're literally shaped
Speaker 1: like little el.
Speaker 5: It's the cutest cookie in the world. Yeah, I should
Speaker 5: go buy some, but they had to chocolate peanut butter.
Speaker 5: So I'm just calling out the Keeblers in a lot
Speaker 5: of ways right now. Bring them back, bring them back.
Speaker 5: We have to publicly talk about these things.
Speaker 1: Wait a second.
Speaker 2: So they had an eel fudge that was a peanut
Speaker 2: butter cookie coated in chocolate.
Speaker 5: It was a chocolate cookie with peanut butter in the middle,
Speaker 5: so it was kind of like a little peanut butter
Speaker 5: sandwich with chocolate cookies. But no, they were very strongly
Speaker 5: chocolate flavored.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's what I'm seeing right now. And when I
Speaker 2: look this up, is this interesting.
Speaker 1: At all to me?
Speaker 5: And I'm the only person who matters.
Speaker 1: They have fudge covered Nutter Butter cookies.
Speaker 5: I've tried them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like from your tone, the chocolate is
Speaker 4: not doing what it needs to do.
Speaker 5: And I love a Nutter butter. I absolutely will scream
Speaker 5: about a Nutter butter. But they missed a rare miss
Speaker 5: from the Nutter Butter family.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those people know what they're doing, and they you
Speaker 2: know it again, like you're saying they got nervous and
Speaker 2: they tried something weird because they think like they're like
Speaker 2: TikTok needs a new cookie. It's like, no, they don't.
Speaker 2: They need exactly what they have. That's what they Chris,
Speaker 2: did you know that this is a This is a
Speaker 2: little known fact about Bridger is he is actually a
Speaker 2: great baker, and he truly cookies truly are his favorite thing.
Speaker 2: So he is an cookie expert. But he also makes
Speaker 2: unbelievably delicious cookies as well.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate that one of the I mean, you're
Speaker 1: welcome the things here in your bio, and I usually
Speaker 1: do a memory. I put them to memory usually, but
Speaker 1: we got this one late, so I'm going to usually
Speaker 1: off the book.
Speaker 4: At some point. You worked in a bakery, you were
Speaker 4: a professional baker.
Speaker 5: I did work in a bakery, and they accused me
Speaker 5: of burglarizing it.
Speaker 4: Burglart like breaking in, not just stealing from the till,
Speaker 4: which we all do.
Speaker 5: We all dip our. We've all got sticky fingers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sticky fingers in the till. Why wouldn't you.
Speaker 2: Some people can't keep their hands out of the till.
Speaker 2: I was stealing from the coffee place that I was
Speaker 2: working at in Sacramento, and it would just be like
Speaker 2: a twenty dollars bill so I could buy beer, and
Speaker 2: I'd rationalized in my mind of like I deserve it
Speaker 2: because blah blah blah. I was talking to my dad
Speaker 2: on the phone one time and I told him a
Speaker 2: story about this boss I used to have at the
Speaker 2: seat at the student center at Zach State and she
Speaker 2: got arrested for embezzlement. And my dad goes, well, Karen,
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you there's some people that just can't
Speaker 2: keep their hands out of the till and I literally
Speaker 2: started crying, like I pretended I wasn't to him, but
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm one.
Speaker 1: Of those people.
Speaker 2: I can't believe it. I'm the person you're talking about.
Speaker 2: And that's the last day I ever took twenty dollars.
Speaker 2: I think I in total took forty dollars. So it
Speaker 2: wasn't insane, but I was like, oh, I don't want
Speaker 2: to be that those people you're talking about.
Speaker 1: It's horrible. I don't want to use the word till till.
Speaker 1: Did they think you were actually breaking in? Richard?
Speaker 5: I mean, this was really one of those This was
Speaker 5: a deeply offensive situation because I had never taken anything
Speaker 5: from the till I was a star employee. I will say,
Speaker 5: this place was insane because we had looked like fresh bread,
Speaker 5: and at the end of the day they wouldn't allow
Speaker 5: us to take it home. They made us throw it
Speaker 5: away because they thought that that would encourage us to
Speaker 5: sell the bread. But it was just this weirdly wasteful thing.
Speaker 5: So the only thing I would steal is we would
Speaker 5: have to load up a garbage can of beautiful bread
Speaker 5: at the end of the day and wheel it out
Speaker 5: to the dumpster. And on the way out, I would
Speaker 5: just grab a loaf of bread and just bite into
Speaker 5: it like and it was the most satisfying thing in
Speaker 5: the world. So that's as far as stealing from this
Speaker 5: company I had ever done. But they thought that I
Speaker 5: had just turned Oh yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I was gonna say, they're accusing you
Speaker 2: of stealing garbage.
Speaker 1: That's insane.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well so that was not. That's not they were
Speaker 5: what they accused me of. They never knew. This is
Speaker 5: the first time, I maybe the first time I've ever
Speaker 5: spoken publicly out of about eating bread out of a
Speaker 5: garbage can.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 5: What they accused me of was returning after hours between
Speaker 5: the closing and when the bread bakers came early in
Speaker 5: the morning. They thought that I had snuck in at
Speaker 5: night and taken the money from under the manager's door.
Speaker 5: You know, at the end of the night you would
Speaker 5: slip all the cash under the manager's door. They thought
Speaker 5: I had come back and somehow, maybe through use of
Speaker 5: a wire hangar or something, snuck it out and then
Speaker 5: taken whatever money was from.
Speaker 1: The two So the manager.
Speaker 3: How the manager, the.
Speaker 5: Person who was I'll say his name was, he was
Speaker 5: clearly the thief, bad attitude is employee, kind of a
Speaker 5: criminal type. He was the thief. He always he had long,
Speaker 5: thin fingers. He's lost to history, possibly dead. But yes, okay, yeah,
Speaker 5: they did accuse me. I got interrogated by police.
Speaker 1: What Oh my god.
Speaker 5: I went into the interrogation room at a police station.
Speaker 5: It was it was a whole situation. And then they
Speaker 5: kind of let me go slowly because they obviously couldn't
Speaker 5: nail me down as the criminal because I wasn't the criminal.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm actually thrilled they thought it was me.
Speaker 5: I'm thrilled I got to be part of that process.
Speaker 5: And you know, get to sit across the table from
Speaker 5: a cop who is like, where were you on such
Speaker 5: and such night and all of that.
Speaker 1: That's are you someone that likes to do jury duty.
Speaker 5: I've never done jury duty.
Speaker 4: I heard my friend Adam. He highly recommends it. He's
Speaker 4: told me many times he had a blast on jury duty.
Speaker 4: But it was like a ten month like murder trial,
Speaker 4: Like he got a good wall and they put then
Speaker 4: the guy was guilty and they he went to jail
Speaker 4: and everyone was like hugging, like it was an emotional
Speaker 4: bonding experience for him.
Speaker 1: But I don't think usually that's the jury you end
Speaker 1: up on.
Speaker 5: But no, you usually end up on like I don't know,
Speaker 5: somebody didn't pay their bill or something, or like sad situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, collection a thing where you're like, I want
Speaker 2: nothing to do with this, right, this is just a bummer.
Speaker 2: But can I just ask you really quick when you
Speaker 2: got interrogated because you knew you didn't do it?
Speaker 1: Were you cocky? Were you or were you just scared shitless?
Speaker 5: Like they're gonna I think I was, well, I was
Speaker 5: nervous because I initially didn't even know why I was there.
Speaker 5: I mean, like I remember I was at the time,
Speaker 5: I was delivering for the bakery and I got a
Speaker 5: call from the South Jordan police. They left a voicemail
Speaker 5: we need you to come into the station. So I
Speaker 5: go into the station having no idea what the situation was,
Speaker 5: and then it started becoming clear what it was. And
Speaker 5: the cop was terrible at asking me questions. She asked me, like,
Speaker 5: the burglary I think took place like on a Wednesday night.
Speaker 5: And she had laid all this information out to me,
Speaker 5: and she started asking him about my alibi and was like,
Speaker 5: where were you Tuesday night? And so I told her
Speaker 5: all about Tuesday night and I was like, but remember
Speaker 5: the situation we're talking about was Wednesday, right, And she
Speaker 5: was so grateful. She's like, oh, yes, where were you Wednesday?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: So I think that was kind of the lynchpin of like, oh, okay.
Speaker 5: So he's really volunteering information in the way that he's
Speaker 5: almost investigating for me.
Speaker 1: Ask me about every night of the week. Just now,
Speaker 1: let's go over Thursday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that happened in Utah, like it happened in Utah,
Speaker 4: South Jordan.
Speaker 1: Utah, it's Jordan is in near I've been to Ogden?
Speaker 1: Is it near Ogden?
Speaker 5: That's probably twenty five minutes from Ogden, Okay.
Speaker 6: In a car by car by car? Should you take
Speaker 6: vote by it's by car car? Ogden was Have I
Speaker 6: mentioned this to you that it was very curious to me.
Speaker 6: I didn't see a lot of young people or children
Speaker 6: in Ogden, but the whole downtown is there's little bronze
Speaker 6: sculptures of children playing the leftovers.
Speaker 1: Yes. I was like, did they lose all the children?
Speaker 1: I believe they bronzed all the children. No.
Speaker 4: And they're in mid they're in mid play, they're on bicycles,
Speaker 4: they're yeah, they're in the middle of catching a you know,
Speaker 4: a soccer ball, which, by the way, is illegal unless
Speaker 4: you're the goalie.
Speaker 1: You can't touch it with your hand.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all these sculptures didn't make sense, but it was children.
Speaker 5: And make sure of me, someone who doesn't know any
Speaker 5: of the rules.
Speaker 2: Right before Bridger is going to get beaten up in
Speaker 2: third grade for touching the soccer ball during league play.
Speaker 5: It used No, I think Ogden. I think I associate
Speaker 5: mostly with like an oil refinery. Do you remember like
Speaker 5: kind of a horrifying oil refinery with flame shooting in
Speaker 5: the air. Oh?
Speaker 1: No, is it on the mountain?
Speaker 5: I think it's like across from the mountains and it's
Speaker 5: a it's very spooky. It looks like like Lord of
Speaker 5: the Rings, like Saurn's location.
Speaker 1: I need to go back. I need to go back.
Speaker 5: There's so much I got and you've got to see
Speaker 5: this oil.
Speaker 4: I've got to go back and do some clean Mormon comedy.
Speaker 1: Bring your camera.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The whole audience was drinking diet coke, and I wanted
Speaker 4: to be clean. But they all were saying. They were
Speaker 4: requesting dirty jokes. Say something dirty. We want to hear
Speaker 4: it life.
Speaker 5: Do you live please?
Speaker 1: They were partying. Uh, they were great. It was I
Speaker 1: still to this day.
Speaker 4: I remember after working there, I'm like, I want to
Speaker 4: record a comedy special in Ogden.
Speaker 5: The crowd I loved it. I am Utah audiences.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, they're great, even if they dip their children
Speaker 4: in a displacement process that involves molten metal to only
Speaker 4: remember them in city parks in their last moments of play.
Speaker 4: I know what you're doing. Adults of Ogden.
Speaker 2: They're just like everybody else is super old, and they're
Speaker 2: just like we like kids visually, but we don't want
Speaker 2: to hear them playing all the time, so let's just
Speaker 2: bronze them all.
Speaker 1: God, that's good.
Speaker 2: That would be a perfect horror movie s element. We
Speaker 2: played Salt Lake City and we were very nervous for
Speaker 2: my favorite murder. We were very nervous of like, are
Speaker 2: they going to not like this topic, is this rude?
Speaker 1: Whatever?
Speaker 2: And we got backstage and someone had brought us a
Speaker 2: like a hard copy photo from a nineties party where Elizabeth.
Speaker 1: Smart was at the party.
Speaker 2: So it's like a total like everybody's got flannels tied
Speaker 2: around their waist and they're just like, you know, drinking
Speaker 2: diet coke or whatever, and she's just standing there.
Speaker 1: And we got they gave it to us so we
Speaker 1: could put it up on the big screen and show
Speaker 1: everybody it. Wow, amazing.
Speaker 5: Was this the photo where she's like in full garb
Speaker 5: with the kidnapper and they're just like hanging out of
Speaker 5: this weird party. Yes, one of the strangest photos, so.
Speaker 2: Odd and like it was like that guy showing off
Speaker 2: that he can do whatever he wants.
Speaker 5: Basically such a weird situation. I mean, the Smart family,
Speaker 5: I believe the father recently came out, so there are
Speaker 5: just frequently in the news.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I didn't know that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Ed Smart gay and now out and living his life.
Speaker 5: So the family continues to have big announcements.
Speaker 2: Wow, next for the.
Speaker 4: Smarts, remember that happening when you were a kid? Oh there,
Speaker 4: Oh wow.
Speaker 5: My cousins lived in that neighborhood, so we knew almost
Speaker 5: immediately because they like went, they were part of the
Speaker 5: initial search party of like going up and looking through
Speaker 5: the house and all of that stuff. It was a
Speaker 5: very odd time.
Speaker 2: So scary because he went and got her out the window, right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, just like something from a nightmare, truly.
Speaker 5: Just like showing up at her bed with a knife
Speaker 5: and being like, oh, I'll kill your family if you
Speaker 5: don't come with me.
Speaker 1: You want to be my child bride?
Speaker 2: Oh, so fucking weird and crazy, so crazy, but it's
Speaker 2: one of the one of the very few, like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, she came back.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, she wrote a book. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: She's basically going like, I'm in charge of my life.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: It's amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an amazing story, an amazing survival, and kind
Speaker 2: of like I always think, it's so fascinating. I love
Speaker 2: talking about those extreme things because everyone goes, that's crazy,
Speaker 2: that would never happen. Why would she Why would she
Speaker 2: have not waved her arm or blob and it's like,
Speaker 2: what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: This coerced bizarre, Like.
Speaker 2: The whole thing is so weird, and things like that
Speaker 2: happen sometimes, like a really creepy psycho with a plan
Speaker 2: like targets your you know, targets someone.
Speaker 5: So frightening, and then they made a TV movie out
Speaker 5: of it that's delicious. Certainly no one that's acted since
Speaker 5: I feel like they shot it in Nova Scotia or something.
Speaker 5: They shot Nova Scotia for Utah, which could not be further.
Speaker 5: Utah is like a desert. Yeah, Nova Scotia, the ocean
Speaker 5: is there. Yeah, it's like this fishing town that they're
Speaker 5: trying to believe is Utah. It's fascinating to watch.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is crazy.
Speaker 2: Now that we've covered Amy Smart the way we wanted to,
Speaker 2: I said, I said, Elizabeth damn it.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right.
Speaker 2: Amy Smart's the blonde actress from like the two thousands. Yes,
Speaker 2: you do know her if you saw her face. She's gorgeous,
Speaker 2: but like, actually legit funny, right, Chris. She was in
Speaker 2: that movie with it's called like Shock or something where
Speaker 2: Jason Statham's heart has to get.
Speaker 1: Like oh yeah, remember he has to be.
Speaker 2: It's actually a hilarious genius movie where his heart gets
Speaker 2: shocked to keep him alive, so that he goes and
Speaker 2: does something.
Speaker 1: Like that voltage Joel Jolt.
Speaker 2: And at one point he and Amy Smart if I'm
Speaker 2: thinking of the right person, the right actress, they have
Speaker 2: sex like in front of everybody on the Santa Anita
Speaker 2: Racetrack because that's like the one thing that will give
Speaker 2: him the adrenaline.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he basically becomes the speed bus. Yeah. Yeah, it's human.
Speaker 1: It's the human speed story.
Speaker 4: And then and then at the at the race way
Speaker 4: they're having sex. People start betting on when they'll climax.
Speaker 1: Is that true?
Speaker 5: Is that true?
Speaker 4: It's it's in the outtakes. I don't I don't remember
Speaker 4: all of Jolt.
Speaker 2: This was like I read the script, it was in
Speaker 2: the second draft, and I loved it. I read the
Speaker 2: book as a kid. Okay, Bridger, I think we're done.
Speaker 2: Is there anything else you need to talk about?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 5: Is there anything else pressing in my life where just
Speaker 5: nothing is happening? Uh, simply grasping for straws for anything
Speaker 5: to happen. I mean we've talked about PepsiCo tasty rewards.
Speaker 5: I mean I feel like Karen. While I have you here,
Speaker 5: I left something at your house recently that I'm going
Speaker 5: to have to get at some point.
Speaker 1: Bathing suit.
Speaker 5: And I've been dying to swim. I've been trying to
Speaker 5: get back to my swim lessons and I can't do it.
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's only one suit for you, and it's Karen's.
Speaker 1: And we'll stay here and then this winter, you and
Speaker 1: I are going to go snowboarding, right, Richard.
Speaker 5: That's right. The last time I saw you, Chris, was
Speaker 5: I was getting a snowboard from you, which is sitting
Speaker 5: in my garage, and yes, we have to go snowboarding.
Speaker 1: I got a new one this winter.
Speaker 4: I haven't I didn't use it once, So don't feel
Speaker 4: bad if you were feeling bad about not.
Speaker 5: I was feeling mildly guilty. But also it was one
Speaker 5: of these situations where I, I mean, it was a
Speaker 5: huge move that I even came to get it from you. Yeah,
Speaker 5: were too far, too ambitious for me to think the
Speaker 5: next day I would be snowboarding.
Speaker 4: Well, I did give you broken bindings. They're not broken,
Speaker 4: there's not attached. There was a missing yeah, there's a
Speaker 4: missing toe piece, and I have not found that, but
Speaker 4: who needs it?
Speaker 5: That was years of build up to me even getting
Speaker 5: like making the move of getting a snowboard. So like
Speaker 5: the fact that that's been accomplished, things are really picking
Speaker 5: up for me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the first most important step.
Speaker 1: Sorry, are you good at snowboarding?
Speaker 5: Because no, I'm competent. I mean the idea of Chris
Speaker 5: and I going together is terrifying because Chris is good,
Speaker 5: Chris is good on multiple board mediums, and I haven't
Speaker 5: snowboarded in probably a decade. So it's one of these
Speaker 5: situations where I'm like, sure, we'll go together, and then
Speaker 5: you're going to have to leave me. You're gonna have
Speaker 5: to abandon me almost immediately.
Speaker 1: That's when I you can go do pizzazz.
