WEBVTT - Vic Michaelis Disobeys Bridger

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, I invited you here. I thought I made myself

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:15.760
<v Speaker 1>perfectly clear.

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:17.639
<v Speaker 2>But you're a.

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Guest to my home. You gotta come to me empty.

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>And I said, no, guest, your presences presents enough. I

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>already had too much stuff.

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.240
<v Speaker 3>So how did you dare to surbey me?

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to I said, no gift. I'm Bridger Wine girl.

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>We are in the backyard. We're here. I hope you

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 2>feel okay. I hope you feel fine. It's been raining

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>for about four days. The rain do they say the

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:08.919
<v Speaker 2>rain is broken? It's gone. The skies are crystal clear.

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 2>And I know you know. A large chunk of twenty

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty three on this podcast was spent talking about my

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 2>home flooding. It was just kind of a NonStop topic.

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 2>I know you're sick of it. Everyone's sick of it.

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm sick of it. Apparently even God wanted a new

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>topic on this podcast. Because the house did not flood

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 2>this time, I can reveal today that my home is

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 2>dry for now. So let's all just be thrilled. I'm

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 2>riding a high that's indescribable. Let's get into the podcast.

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Today's guest is so funny, so excited to talk to them.

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 2>It's Vic Machayliss. Oh wow, Vic, I'm just looking dry,

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 2>dry as a bone.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 4>I thought that before, and I'm a little behind the music.

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 4>I think with this you did fully turn away for

0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 4>me to do the intro and then turned into it

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 4>and you said it, and then I.

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Thought, wow, dry as a bone.

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Everything, shoes to hair, everything is, the world is dry.

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 2>The inside of my house is dry.

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 3>Congratulations, by the way, so.

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Much, thank you for your support. The listeners have been

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>very supportive. Onalise did not reach out. You know, we're feuding.

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 4>Tough because I would have assumed you'd seen each other

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 4>a couple of times in between that.

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 2>No, no interest on Realise is not interested in the

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>moisture level of my home anymore.

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's a choice. No, it's fine. I'm not judging.

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 3>It's you know. Would I have reached out, Yeah.

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Of course. Had we known each other prior to right now,

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 2>you probably would have been writing.

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 4>Had I seen on Twitter from a stranger that there

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 4>was a chance your house was flooding, I would have

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 4>reached out.

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to know how was the rain for you?

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 3>Fine? Fine, honestly fun.

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 4>I have spent a lot of time in the Pacific Northwest.

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 3>So it's like a snow day for rain.

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's like it's fun, It's it's costplaying rain

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 4>when l rains.

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean?

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 2>You feel like it's Yeah, it's because we're not used

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>to it, and it feels like kind of a fun,

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.239
<v Speaker 2>exciting little novelty. That's what I want.

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 3>Have you spent much time like in places where it

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 3>rains along?

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 2>No, I grew up in a desert. I live in

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>desert Utah.

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 3>Oh amazing.

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of a surprise desert. I mean, Salt Lake

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>City doesn't feel their mountains and.

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 3>It's not like mask Mormon x X.

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 2>But yes, previous Mormon, I'm obsessed you are.

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I also grew up and I'm if this is offensive?

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Let me know cult adjacent where I'm not denominational, like big, big,

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 4>big churches.

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>So was there a name? What was the deal?

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 5>Do you know?

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 3>Harvest Bible Chapel.

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I love that name.

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 3>It is a fantastic name.

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I can. I mean, like, listen,

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.839
<v Speaker 4>don't sue me. I can't afford it. I really can't

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 4>afford it. But like our pastor, so I did two

0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 4>churches because my dad wasn't very religious, but then he

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 4>was a single dad and I got sucked in because

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, they know how to pick them.

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 3>And I I It became my entire personality.

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 2>If you double time, I would.

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 4>Do a regular church at Christ Community Church, and then

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 4>I would do my youth group there and then also

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 4>my youth group at Harvest Bible Chapel, which became the

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 4>big part of my identity.

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.839
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that is too much, I would say, it was

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 2>too much.

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 4>I would agree. I had a big conversation with my dad.

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 4>I remember in a car very vividly, where he goes,

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 4>I don't believe in Hell, and I said, oh my god,

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 4>my dad is going to hell. That is this is

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 4>the worst thing that's ever happened to anybody but I.

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 3>But it was.

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.719
<v Speaker 4>It was one of those things where like our pastor was,

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 4>they were the kind of ones where like they were made,

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 4>they were living the like three million dollar mini mansions,

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 4>and I'm like our pastor got I won't say his

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 4>name because I don't want you guys.

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, analyst, I'm looking at you. I don't want

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 3>you in trouble.

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I was constantly getting sued by churches and cults. It's

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 2>kind of their things, and that's.

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Fair enough it but we uh, he got like housted

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 3>from the church by the elders because is allegedly he

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 3>put a hit out on his son in law and

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 3>one of the writers of Christianity today, he like tried

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:12.600
<v Speaker 3>to hire a hit man.

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 2>And how far into the process process did he get.

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that far.

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.039
<v Speaker 4>I think that the guy had like recorded him and

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 4>was like, this is a thing that happened, and there.

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Was a big expos in Christianity today.

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 4>And I think he lives in California now and like

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 4>he is a podcast and it's of course like the

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 4>faction of the community that's like I don't understand why

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 4>Pastor I'm not going to say his name. I don't

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 4>understand why Pastor Blank is gone. Like this is like crazy,

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.359
<v Speaker 4>Like people have sinned? Isn't that what we're about? Is

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 4>we sin and we are redeemed? Is that not our thing?

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 4>Which is crazy to me?

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 2>So let me just make sure what.

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 3>You were expecting for today, this is what I was

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 3>hoping for.

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>This is what I always want out of the podcast,

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 2>and every guest until now has failed me. So it

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>is the official grand opening to hundred episodes later. Okay,

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>so Pastor blank Dale, Oh, I love that hires or

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 2>attempts to hire a hitman for two people.

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 4>For two people, the Unity today was doing the expos

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 4>about like basically siphoning money.

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.919
<v Speaker 2>Off of the church towards the mini mansion. Yes, gets ousted,

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 2>then moves to California and starts a podcast.

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 4>I think he just sort of like had his side

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 4>gig because it was one of those things where he

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 4>was like like a at least a local celeb pastor.

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:33.600
<v Speaker 4>So it was one of those things where that I'm

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 4>assuming was where he got like early podcast money.

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 6>First.

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, inter he was he was in with the stamp

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 2>monkey or what was that thing called male monkey, chimp mail.

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 3>Chip, mail.

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.920
<v Speaker 2>In box, chimp for whatever it's called.

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 4>Sounds right, I'm too nervous to do that. I will

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 4>agree hard with you.

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 2>One of those names must be the name of a

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.359
<v Speaker 2>business that was probably early podcast money. All that aside,

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 2>there were no criminal charges, I.

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Don't think so Wow.

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 4>I think it was like speculation, speculation enough, like he said,

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 4>he said that it was the type of thing where

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 4>it was he got ousted from the church, and I think,

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, especially fifteen years ago, that would have been

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 4>like a scandal that nobody ever would.

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 3>Have come back from. Right, And now it's sort of

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 3>just like you can do whatever you want.

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, like in a post sorry to say, a Trump world,

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 4>we're just sort of like, I don't know, Maybe he's right.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Maybe it's did they think about maybe they should allow

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 3>him to put a hit on those people? Maybe they

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't be here? Like that was sort of like the vibe.

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Getting away with murder. I'm always like, when you're hiring

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 2>a hit man? Sure, where do you start?

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 3>A great question?

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Did you ask around?

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Do you put out like an Instagram?

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Close friends question? Yeah? Hey guys, kind of a

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 2>private issue, but I have two people that need to

0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>be dad. They did.

0:07:58.560 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Do you want me to google this?

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Let's get you.

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 4>On So sorry, but I'm kind of dying to know,

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 4>is it? I feel like Craigslist has to be the

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 4>only safe place.

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 2>For that these days, right, maybe dark web?

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Dark web?

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, but this was probably prior to dark web.

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 4>Can you stumble upon the dark web? That's actually a

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 4>legitimate fear offy.

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Kind of like getting into lost forest or something. Certainly

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>like those cartoon eyes in the dark and you hear

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 2>like the howls of wolves and that kind of thing. Yes,

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you can stumble. I think you have

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 2>to make a real effort. Okay, I think you have

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 2>to get like a maybe it's mail chimp. I think

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 2>that it must be called male chimp.

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 3>That sounds it is you said it, and something inside

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 3>me awoke.

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like remembering an old song. Yes, we're not

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>going to associate male chimp with the dark Web.

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 4>Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly allegedly, we don't know, and we wouldn't speculate.

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>I assume that's how their businesses. They get you into

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the dark Web.

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 3>It's just like, how are they still making money? I

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 3>had a streaming service. I think for a little bit

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 3>of my.

0:08:55.040 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Crazy, streaming services simply aren't making much. Sure, dark Web,

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I think you have to get like a different browser.

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's say you have you probably download I Fox dark Web.

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 3>That's what Firefox is.

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Firefox interesting or opera Opera sounds like the browser you

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 2>would get into the dark web.

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 3>Opera like that?

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 4>Is that the type of one where like they donate

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 4>a tree for every Google search you do.

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 3>I know what I'm talking about.

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 2>There are too many trees at.

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.839
<v Speaker 3>This point, there's too get them out of here.

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 2>You have to burn these things down.

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 4>That's what because now the rain comes because they know

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.080
<v Speaker 4>how many trees we've got, right exactly, So keep your

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 4>house dry. You're very anti rain, I've heard, especially in southern.

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Telifornia, the anti rain. I want, i want this to

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 2>be a full desert. I'm ready for the water wars. Yeah,

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 2>i am. I'm one of the few people that's like,

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm stalking the water in my house. I've got bottles

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.720
<v Speaker 2>and bottles. I'm ready to sell the water to people

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 2>who are dying.

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:49.959
<v Speaker 4>I really love that. I'm sorry. I know this is

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 4>your show, but I'm desperate to ask a question.

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Please.

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 3>You said, ex Mormon, how long you've been out of.

0:09:55.800 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Mormonism is That's a great question. It's I don't know,

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 2>like the slow exit began when I was maybe twenty

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 2>is oh baby, But then it was a decade before

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I came out. And then but like in that decade

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>was the real leaving the church. Sure, and then once

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 2>you're professionally gay, then it's like they would have kicked

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 2>me out anyway.

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 2>So it's some people like they get really involved, there's

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 2>like excommunication and all this, but then you kind of

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 2>have to play their game with them, and it's like, well,

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 2>just leave me alone.

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there was a big Sister Wives fan over here.

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah it is oh man, just like so delightful. Though

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 4>then I found out again allegedly they're all in MLMs,

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 4>and that made me like it was hard because in

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 4>the off season when all of them left Cody, I

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 4>was like, amazing, fantastic, fabulous, And then I went to

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 4>Christian's Instagram and I was like, oh, no, we are

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 4>actively all in MLMs.

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.359
<v Speaker 2>Which is are they different MLMs?

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.319
<v Speaker 4>It's one MLM. I can't remember what it is specifically.

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.719
<v Speaker 4>I think I want to say it's a shampoo, but no,

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 4>it's diet stuff.

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Diet stuff. That's a big one.

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:08.959
<v Speaker 4>It's a big one. And as somebody, I come from

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:13.440
<v Speaker 4>an MLM family. So my cousin Barbara isn't listening to this.

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:14.679
<v Speaker 2>But if she is.

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, and the good news is you're gonna have to

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 3>sell the house after that, so there's not going.

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 2>To be an issue lawsuits. Your cousin Barbara sure allegedly allegedly, Yeah,

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 2>she does have a babs in her Instagram.

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm scared people are going to go find her. Don't

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 4>talk to her about this. I'm begging you.

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 3>I can't. My family can't handle this.

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 2>What was she selling? Am I a little bit?

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 4>Do you know?

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Girl in the Pearl, are you familiar?

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 2>No? What's this?

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 3>My god?

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.319
<v Speaker 4>I'm kind of obsessed with it. It's a little bit

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 4>incredible if I think about it. Actually, it's largely and

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 4>as all of them Marty stays based on Facebook Live.

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 4>What is it called up up so, what's the real name?

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 3>What's the quote real name for it?

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 2>For MLMs?

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, oh, pipeline marketing.

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.400
<v Speaker 2>You know the bad words for pyramid scheme.

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Pyramid scheme.

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 2>They call it like direct direct sales.

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.679
<v Speaker 3>Direct sales, which aren't all sales. Kind of direct sales.

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I feel like I mean, if you're buying something

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 4>from a grocery store, aren't you directly buying from a grocery.

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's more you're being direct to the person

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.080
<v Speaker 2>rather than them coming to you.

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Annoying sale, right, annoying sales? Yes, just being irritating.

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Girl and the Pearl.

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 4>You basically it's a lot of being like, Okay, I

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 4>have an oyster. I have an oyster who in the

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 4>chat would like to buy this oyster and then we

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 4>can put it in any kind of set, and so like, oh,

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm hearing maybe there's two pearls in here, Like let's

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.080
<v Speaker 4>take a peek at this, and then you open it

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 4>up on the live and be like, here's your pearl.

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 4>This is your pearl, and it's going to go in whatever,

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:50.960
<v Speaker 4>like jewelry set you wanted to go in.

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 2>This is like lottery. This feels illegal. Yeah, you're buying.

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 2>And I thought that this was all going to be metaphorical,

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 2>and they're literally literal.

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 5>Oyster, a old girl, a woman opening a graduating girl

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 5>is opening a pearl, is prying open an oyster on camera?

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Is there ever no pearl?

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 3>Probably?

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 4>So, I think it's kind of one of those things

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 4>where I'm like, I think they.

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 2>To rig it, juice it up.

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 4>I think they got to rig it a little bit. Yeah,

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 4>maybe that's the that's the lottery portion of it.

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 2>They get away with it because it's a guaranteed pearl.

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 3>It's a guaranteed girl.

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Are there ever, like they open it in just dozens

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.719
<v Speaker 2>of pearls? Fim, It's like this disgusting. Does that ever

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 2>happen with an oyster?

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.360
<v Speaker 3>Gotta at some point, right, I think I.

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Do think if you if you say something out loud,

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 2>it's happened.

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 4>I think so too, because it is I have no

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 4>idea is a new idea, And if there's no new ideas,

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 4>then technically it's out there somewhere exactly where to come from.

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.600
<v Speaker 3>And it's like there's octomom, So why couldn't there be autoclam?

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>You know? I mean, I fully agreed.

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 3>You said it. I feel great about it.

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 2>So are you are you watching these live Facebook Facebook client?

0:13:58.760 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:13:58.960 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I've got to get back on faceboo?

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, the company is deceased, defunct.

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Deceased out of money instead, alright.

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 3>It's like themes is out of money.

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 4>I think that they got sued a bunch of times

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 4>because the oysters were coming. Like, I do have a story.

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.199
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you later, but I can't tell you here

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.079
<v Speaker 4>because I feel like I'm already tearing my family apart

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 4>with this little.

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Your lawyer has quit. Yeah, okay, I've got Girl in

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 2>the Pearl, Girl in the Pearl. Are you aware of

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 2>any other MLMs currently happening?

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Of course?

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 2>What are some others.

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean, like you got the classics herbal life, did

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 4>you ever do that?

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 3>There is a shampoo one? Do you know what I'm

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 3>talking about?

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Shampoo I didn't have to do with chessan.

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh, chess got to be sounds like we talked about

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 3>the board.

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, he had a hair that he had a

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:46.680
<v Speaker 2>shampoo that's making people's hair fall out.

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, okay, so I think this monette also was making

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 4>people really sick and making their hair fall out.

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 3>And that one was.

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 4>Also because I think it's a it is a pyramid

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 4>direct marketing scheme.

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 3>Can you still call it scheme if it's the good

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 3>word for it?

0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Sure?

0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 4>Okay, the direct marketing scheme, the dreg sales scheme is

0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 4>I think it is like it's all about people buying

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 4>your downline and being like you're gonna be a part

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 4>of this and you're going to sell and.

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 2>You're going to buy a bunch of the products or

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 2>garage is going to be full of this product that

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:11.479
<v Speaker 2>no one wants.

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 4>Exactly, So I know that's one Herbal life is urban life.

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Is the essential oils, right.

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 3>I think so?

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 4>And then powders and like a skinny tea want it

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 4>feels like it's got to be.

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if then they made a big mistake with

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 2>that name. If that's not an MLM. Yeah, that's not

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 2>a product somebody buys off a show regularly. Skinny te

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 2>skinny tea.

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 4>But that you know, we say that, and then there's

<v Speaker 2>What is that? I don't know, Methy.

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 3>It's the thing that influencers are interesting.

0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Influencers and MLM go very hand in hand. Interesting.

0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 4>Why do you become an influencer if not to be

0:15:58.360 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 4>the top of an MLAM.

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.600

<v Speaker 3>Instagram and mL.

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 2>I've exposed something big here.

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:10.560
<v Speaker 3>I think this is huge.

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 4>It goes all the way to at the end of

0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 4>this episode, Pastor Dale is going to call a hit

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:17.120

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Get any information about hiring a hit person.

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 6>Orne I'm on a monet, yes, but also uh, hiring hitman.

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 6>I found a Cora article which is always trust hiring.

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 3>A hit man?

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:39.000

<v Speaker 3>How do I hire one?

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 6>And basically I'm just going to kind of summarize a

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 6>lot of the tips that this person gave was like,

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 6>just take advantage of vulnerable people. It's like, go hang

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 6>out near the border of Mexico, like go hang out

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 6>near a halfway house people, or like you know, military basis,

0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 6>like people looking to make an extra buck.

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Like that's essentially our these.

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 4>Copywriters that are writing this, I feel like it's got

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 4>to be somebody watched, like uh, like the wire or something,

0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:08.240
<v Speaker 4>just like, oh, I I know.

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.360
<v Speaker 3>But immediately I am exing out of this.

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 6>I already wrote a note to my FBI agent in

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.159
<v Speaker 6>a separate search window.

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.879
<v Speaker 3>My job. I'm a I'm on a podcast and I

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.159
<v Speaker 3>have to look up weird things. Please do not arrest me.

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah I love that.

0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah wow. So basically, just find someone desperate enough. Yeah,

0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.359
<v Speaker 2>get on task, grab it, look, get on fiver.

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean I guess that's like anything, right, Yeah, anybody's

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:33.440
<v Speaker 4>a job other than being desperate enough.

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:34.719
<v Speaker 3>For money that you have to do it.

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.520
<v Speaker 2>We're all hit men on some level. We're just you know,

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 2>it's hit men. Yeah, MLM's hit men. I feel like

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 2>we've covered two of the bigger topics sort of.

0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean like that was sort of the list that

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 3>I came in with.

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 2>So what was your exit from the situation? The religious

0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 2>situ great question.

0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.679
<v Speaker 4>I feel like it's sort of like you said, it

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 4>was the what's that John Green quote where it's like

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.440
<v Speaker 4>slowly and then all at once, you know, which is

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 4>I think about falling in love, but also leaving the

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:11.439
<v Speaker 4>church specifically. Where I really think it was like pandemic

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 4>was when I, like I left in high school, like

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 4>I think too, like being a queer person and then

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 4>having a lot of complicated because we were very like

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.399
<v Speaker 4>us because I went to I begged my dad to

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.399
<v Speaker 4>let me go to this very Christian high school, and

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 4>so we had a lot of like chapel like in

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.680
<v Speaker 4>the mornings and then also in the afternoon three times

0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 4>a week, and then it was like we had a

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:33.600
<v Speaker 4>lot of like the prey the gay away that would

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 4>like come through. And I remember going up to one

0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:37.160
<v Speaker 4>of my teachers one time and being.

0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Like, hey, so like what how how bad.

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:41.960
<v Speaker 4>Is this on a scale of how bad? And I

0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:43.480
<v Speaker 4>just remember her looking at me and nic and going

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.439
<v Speaker 4>why do you want to know and being like great, great,

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.119
<v Speaker 4>I love this and this is exciting and I think

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 4>that this is good for me. And then we moved

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.479
<v Speaker 4>up to Canada and I was like, you know, it

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:55.879
<v Speaker 4>just was like a whole world was open up to me.

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.480
<v Speaker 4>I went to an all girls' school and yeah, was

0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:00.919
<v Speaker 4>a very different five.

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 3>So that was sort of like the initial exit.

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 4>But then really over the pandemic, I feel like I

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.639
<v Speaker 4>had this big because I still a little bit like

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 4>the scariest thing that can that I can watch is

0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:15.639
<v Speaker 4>like demons and ghosts, like inhabiting people's because you a

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.560
<v Speaker 4>little bit, I'm just like, you know, it's it's that

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.439
<v Speaker 4>Who's that philosopher that talks about sort of like the

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 4>maybe of it all right, where.

0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 3>It's like it's maybe like if God doesn't exist? Was

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.200
<v Speaker 3>it Pascal? Where he talks about like if God doesn't

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:27.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry.

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:29.719
<v Speaker 2>You're asking one of the dumbest people alive.

0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 3>No, that's not true. That can't be true. I'm sitting

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:33.359
<v Speaker 3>right across room you.

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 4>But it's that idea of like if God does exist

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:38.120
<v Speaker 4>and you believe in him, then like and you say

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:39.920
<v Speaker 4>you believe in him, then like, what's the what's the harm?

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 3>The worst thing that can happen is that he doesn't exist?

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and so I think I really live by that

0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 4>philosophy for a long time. But then also too, I

0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.560
<v Speaker 4>just like the fan club is tough, right right.

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a not a not an easy exit. No,

0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, ghosts off. I'm always like, well, I kind

0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.399
<v Speaker 2>of hope I kind of hope I not come scare me.

0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:00.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I kind of love that.

0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 4>What would you come back as if you could like

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 4>come back as something you got to.

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Pay like animal wise?

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:07.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Okay, here's a two part question actually, because it's

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 4>sort of that idea of like if you think you're

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:11.159
<v Speaker 4>assigned to something based on how you're living your life,

0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:12.080
<v Speaker 4>what do you think you come back as?

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 3>And then like in an ideal world, what would you know?

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So like what would I be kind of punished

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 2>because of how I am or gifted? Gifted? I would

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:25.159
<v Speaker 2>say probably like a loose pet, like a small not

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 2>an animal that lives outside, maybe like a gerbil that

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 2>got out of its cage on the outside.

0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.640
<v Speaker 4>No, come on, you're painting yourself something that's like five

0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 4>years top. Yes, come on, when I'm coming back a

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:37.880
<v Speaker 4>cockatial at least something.

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.200
<v Speaker 2>An escaped cockatail I could get into.

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 3>The free range cockatile Does that exist.

0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Or are they purely bred indoors?

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:47.439
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. That's a great question.

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Parrots around here.

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 4>Are you saying a loose pet in terms of one

0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 4>that got out and escaped and is now living in

0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:53.560
<v Speaker 4>the wild and.

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Kind of just ward bound bound? Interesting?

0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:57.919
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.679
<v Speaker 4>yet you are saying that you're smart enough to escape

0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 4>and have and have the wherewithal to survive, and I

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:17.440

<v Speaker 3>Didn't, But I'm gonna agree with you hard.

0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I got a little country mouse that goes to the city.

0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 3>I love that Fido.

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:47.119

<v Speaker 2>the Red Box version of that movie.

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Sure as animated very quickly to compete.

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 2>By one of those West like companies in Taiwan or

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 2>whatever that do the cheap computer animation for.

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:14.240

<v Speaker 3>out there.

0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:18.160
<v Speaker 4>Somewhere out there is what I'm thinking of.

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Five. I think have a lot of crossover in my mind,

0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 3>similar story.

0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 2>And totally sure why.

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.199
<v Speaker 3>Not five will make it rich at the end of

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:27.399
<v Speaker 3>that movie. I like to think so.

0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:31.159
<v Speaker 2>And is he also American tale?

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>The other mouse family that immigrates.

0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, they have to be confused with the Great Mouse Detective.

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh, fully different.

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 3>They stay in Europe.

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 2>They stay in Europe and detect and detect different families.

0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:44.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, one of them ran away from their problems. You

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 4>don't really sort of dug down and and found found

0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:52.159
<v Speaker 4>out that sometimes I love to start talking and I

0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:53.920
<v Speaker 4>don't totally know the end of a sentence is going.

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:56.480
<v Speaker 3>It's like jumping off a bridge and then you.

0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Just find your way to the ground. Yeah, maybe it's water,

0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's concrete.

0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Yes, but it's do you get back up again? Sometimes?

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:08.399
<v Speaker 4>Now I call it today what you were hoping for

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:09.800

<v Speaker 2>I already told you this is what I was hoping for.

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 3>This is exactly what I'm big on. Communication.

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 2>There is something I didn't want on this podcast, or

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:24.960
<v Speaker 2>something I didn't hope for sure. Look, Vic, I was

0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 2>excited to have you here today, Thank you Bridger. I thought,

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 2>who knows where this is going to go? God only knows.

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 2>But we'll talk about something, Okay, hopefully they'll pitch me

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 2>the podcast, I think you should.

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:10.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I think at this point to be rude.

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Not to it would be rude, and I'm, if anything

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:14.879
<v Speaker 2>not rude.

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:18.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, now I'm holding this and it felt like it

<v Speaker 2>You know, people love the unwrapping.

0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Is there a greater sound in the world.

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there is.

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:58.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't think there is, either the possibility.

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:02.359
<v Speaker 2>Possibilities, the crunch. Yeah, it's very tactized. Sure, okay, okay,

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:05.440

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:07.320
<v Speaker 2>pickup box from Walgreens. Huh.

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:09.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So my favorite place on the planet, by the way,

0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 3>is it really yeah? The photos counter at Walgreens.

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:12.359
<v Speaker 2>They have a photo counter.

0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:12.719
<v Speaker 3>They do.

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 4>I found it for the first time a few weeks ago,

0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 4>and it's really kind of taken over my life.

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Where is there a Walgreens in Los Angeles?

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 4>Do you know the Target on Western? Yes, right kitty

0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:23.400
<v Speaker 4>corner to there.

0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh, interesting, it's we have a lot of cvs. Sure,

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 2>as far as I know, does not have a photo counter.

0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't believe so, right, aid might depending on the

0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:31.399
<v Speaker 3>right aid.

0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I've got to look up some of these because

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I just had some photos developed. But okay, we're going

0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 2>to open this up here.

0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 3>Opening might want to flip.

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 4>That might be a little easier, and I'm going to

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:42.440
<v Speaker 4>have to explain, Oh this is.

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. Okay, So this is like a like

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:50.880
<v Speaker 2>a uh, what would you say, a wrapped piece of art?

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 3>Sure, yes, stretch I would art.

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 4>And I'm so glad that you called it that art.

0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:58.879
<v Speaker 4>It's stretched canvas one thousand percent. Now I really am

0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:01.919
<v Speaker 4>a sucker for like Ross. You can get those like

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 4>signs for homes live Laflow. Oh, of course you know

0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:07.320
<v Speaker 4>the rules, Grammar's rules for this house.

0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe one of my own ones for uh some friends

0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:13.119
<v Speaker 2>who are getting married that said giggle give grow.

0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh I love that. You should say that out loud

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:19.200
<v Speaker 3>on a podcast. You should copyright that first.

0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm going to wait for all these companies to

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 2>adopt it. Then I launch in with lawsuit after lawsuits.

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:27.240
<v Speaker 4>This is hard because again you're not seeing that money

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:29.359
<v Speaker 4>for years, and you're gonna need that for the lawsuits

0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 4>that are being launched from today.

0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's true. But when I get that money, I'll

0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 2>use it for the medical bills as you know an

0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:39.159
<v Speaker 2>aging person. Oh sure, and the health system collapses, you

0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 2>got to figure it out. Social Security has gone that

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing. I'm still in these lawsuits.

0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 4>Right and they're sort of resolving, and so then you're

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 4>getting that influx.

0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Of finally checks are poring. Yes, okay, So it's like

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:54.119
<v Speaker 2>a wrapped canvas that you've obviously made or had made.

0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:57.440
<v Speaker 3>I made it. I got a free trial of a

0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:58.440
<v Speaker 3>Canvas Pro account.

0:27:58.760 --> 0:27:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:27:59.600 --> 0:28:01.120
<v Speaker 4>So that's part of the gift. Also, if you want

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.840
<v Speaker 4>that login info I can reach out. That seems like

0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:07.440
<v Speaker 4>a podcast sponsor, canvaprow? Yeah, they should be sponsoring something.

0:28:07.440 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 2>What is it? They really should?

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:11.200
<v Speaker 3>We've said their name three times now, Oh my god.

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh the money, the opportunities for money on this podcast

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 2>that don't actually pan out yet that's the problem.

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:17.400
<v Speaker 5>Yet?

0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Thank you yet? Yet? Okay? You had this, you made this,

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 2>You've designed it. Should I read it or do you

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 2>want to explain it? Well?

0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Okay, first, I feel like maybe we need a little

0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:29.800
<v Speaker 4>bit of explanation. I don't ever come places empty handed.

0:28:29.840 --> 0:28:32.320
<v Speaker 4>I also don't ever come place as empty headed. I

0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:33.879
<v Speaker 4>wanted to do my research because you and I are

0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 4>meeting for the first time or so. I really wanted

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:37.480
<v Speaker 4>to make sure that I sort of knew who you

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 4>were as a person before.

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 3>I came out of this podcast. And sort of in

0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 3>my research, I.

0:28:41.840 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 4>Found a YouTube channel that had sixty nine followers, and

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:47.560
<v Speaker 4>I was sort of looking. I was like, oh, maybe

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:50.520
<v Speaker 4>there was some beautiful stales of Mariah Carey music video.

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh interesting, does that sound familiar?

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 4>Yes, linked to your Twitter, So I did assume it

0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:58.040
<v Speaker 4>was yours.

0:28:58.080 --> 0:28:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Such an old memory.

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 4>It was sixteen years ago exactly, so sort of I'm

0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 4>like doing some more googling. I'm looking around and obviously

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 4>you are a very accomplished person. So I'm getting a

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 4>lot of articles about this podcast and some of your

0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 4>writing and things like that, and I'm like, that's exciting,

0:29:10.840 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 4>but that's also things that people know when you remember.

0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:15.440
<v Speaker 4>And I also think a gift is a memory, right,

0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 4>And so I thought, what better memory than a clip

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 4>of a podcast you did seven years ago with a

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 4>man whose name I can't remember right now, where you

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 4>gave advice to PA is somebody that wants to be

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:26.440
<v Speaker 4>a PA?

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Just some rules of advice.

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 2>People possibly imagine what was said on this podcast.

0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:35.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, you don't have to imagine, because it is in

0:29:35.720 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 4>the list style on this sort of ship lap?

0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Is this ship lap? Is that what shiplap is? Pieces

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:42.480
<v Speaker 3>of on top of each other?

0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:44.840
<v Speaker 2>You're embarrassing secret? Okay, you know I watch a lot

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 2>of HGTV. I'm very familiar with Chip and Joanne all

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:52.120
<v Speaker 2>of this stuff, right, And I've heard the word ship

0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 2>lap a billion times. I always just kind of act

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 2>like I know what that is. Yeah, I always imagine

0:29:57.920 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 2>it's like those white boards wall.

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:03.520
<v Speaker 4>That sounds right, So this is this right sort of

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:04.920
<v Speaker 4>like a more rot.

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 2>The outside of a haunted house.

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:09.360
<v Speaker 3>That's that was exactly what I typed into Cambaprow.

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 2>The texture here is kind of like a cabin in

0:30:12.240 --> 0:30:15.280
<v Speaker 2>the woods that has been left abandoned, and there's like

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:17.880
<v Speaker 2>the ghost of a lumberjacket.

0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 4>I did see if Walgreen could put this on boards,

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 4>sort of haunted boards, and they said no, So we did,

0:30:23.560 --> 0:30:25.520
<v Speaker 4>and I had to go through Walgreens because again, I've

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:26.920
<v Speaker 4>got friends over there now and I got to keep

0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 4>them in business.

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:31.200
<v Speaker 2>But it is kind of like or like the uh

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:35.680
<v Speaker 2>bark of a cottonwood tree. Yes, that's so.

0:30:35.840 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 4>I so sort of between on the thirty one second

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 4>mark and the one to eight second mark, you gave

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:43.480
<v Speaker 4>a series of rules to this podcast host about somebody

0:30:43.480 --> 0:30:45.240
<v Speaker 4>that's looking to be a PA. What advice you would

0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 4>give them? Right, And that is these rules here.

0:30:48.280 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, because for a too long of a period of time,

0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 2>I worked as a production assistant on a tea show

0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:57.840
<v Speaker 2>which became an absolute nightmare.

0:30:58.800 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:30:59.120 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 3>I can imagine.

0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:01.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, because sometimes it's that thing where you're too good

0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:03.480
<v Speaker 4>at your job and so people don't want to promote you.

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Not the case here. Oh I see, I think it

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:10.880
<v Speaker 2>was just kind of a it'll never be explained.

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:12.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, at this point in this podcast, this was seven

0:31:12.560 --> 0:31:12.960
<v Speaker 3>years ago.

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 4>Seven years you were already writing at Jimmy Kimmel Live

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 4>exclamation point because that was your credit as you were

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 4>credited in the podcast. So you were looking back on

0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:23.960
<v Speaker 4>this experience this right way. You're not in the middle

0:31:23.960 --> 0:31:24.200
<v Speaker 4>of it.

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Not in the middle of it.

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:26.200
<v Speaker 3>You're giving advice.

0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I had made it out. Okay, should I read this?

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a great horrifying no, no, no.

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 2>No no. This is Bridger Weiniger's advice for PA's Okay.

0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Number one, don't give up. Yeah, and let's be honest,

0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I have to I have to hope within the context

0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 2>of me speaking on the podcast, there was a little

0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:46.720
<v Speaker 2>bit more than me, just you know. Number one don't.

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Say is like so again. This comes with the thirty

0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:50.760
<v Speaker 4>one second mark of this clip. There's a full podcast

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 4>outside of it, but it has been clipped for social media,

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 4>which at seven.

0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Years ago, I think happened.

0:31:56.720 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 4>At seven years ago is a pretty forward thinking thing

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:00.680
<v Speaker 4>to Darry.

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, good grief. Okay. Number two, just keep doing

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 2>everything you can outside of that job to make yourself

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 2>visible on some level.

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:11.200
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to make sure I was quoting you precisely.

0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Number three, know that it will not last forever. Yeah. Interesting,

0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:18.640
<v Speaker 2>that's a nice piece of advice actually, because when I

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:21.080
<v Speaker 2>was in it, it was like, well, I guess I'll

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 2>die doing this.

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:24.680
<v Speaker 4>It seems all consuming it. Well hold that thought because

0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:25.880
<v Speaker 4>it comes that comes back later.

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, number four, at some point this is going to

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:33.360
<v Speaker 2>be over with. Okay, number five, you'll either die of interest.

0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:35.960
<v Speaker 4>So I did full disclosure going into this next one,

0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 4>just you know, want to make this next point.

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Of five B. But because of the MLA format that

0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 3>I guess Canvapro is stuck in, it would not allow

0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 3>me to do that in the same font, and for me,

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:46.680
<v Speaker 3>the aesthetic was improved.

0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Of course, this is a gorgeous piece of art.

0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for saying that.

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so number five, you'll either die or number six

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:57.800
<v Speaker 2>or find a way out, and both will be a

0:32:57.800 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 2>better thing than what you're doing.

0:32:59.680 --> 0:33:03.560
<v Speaker 4>Yes, And I was actually hoping for a little bit

0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:04.640
<v Speaker 4>more explanation on that.

0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:08.400
<v Speaker 2>So at the what I'm telling people is dying is

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:12.400
<v Speaker 2>better than what you're doing, sure or or finding your

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 2>way out. Yes, So I guess me and I can

0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:18.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of support my mental state. At the time, dying

0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 2>did seem like a bet and options at least a freedom.

0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Sure Number seven just let just okay, So this is

0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:31.640
<v Speaker 2>again verbatim, This is I just again.

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:33.440
<v Speaker 3>I really wanted to make sure I didn't want to

0:33:33.480 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 3>deviate at all. I didn't know you.

0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:35.880
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know how important it was going to be

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 4>to captivate to be misquoted. Well, that's what I thought,

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 4>and so I wanted to make sure people had the

0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 4>full contacts.

0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:42.720
<v Speaker 2>This is just like, do the best job you can

0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:45.840
<v Speaker 2>and be as nice to everyone around you as you can.

0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 2>That's a nice piece of advice.

0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 4>That is actually of and I don't want to put

0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 4>value judgments on anything.

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:53.360
<v Speaker 3>I read that, and I was like, that is an

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:54.360
<v Speaker 3>excellent piece of advice.

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:57.080
<v Speaker 4>That is I think of the of the eight points,

0:33:57.320 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 4>the point that I'm going to carry through and I'm

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 4>going to remember the one.

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Piece of advice that I didn't follow. I wasn't doing

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:06.360
<v Speaker 2>the best job I could. I was very I mean,

0:34:07.560 --> 0:34:10.160
<v Speaker 2>three years into this thing, I was like, I can't

0:34:10.160 --> 0:34:10.920
<v Speaker 2>do this any so.

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:11.640
<v Speaker 3>Can I be honest with you?

0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 4>I was thinking about changing the font for this so

0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:16.800
<v Speaker 4>that way I could catch sort of the intonation a

0:34:16.840 --> 0:34:18.200
<v Speaker 4>little bit. So the rest of this is you can

0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 4>sort of see it as in a beautiful cursive and

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:21.239
<v Speaker 4>so that one I was sort of thinking put in

0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:23.120
<v Speaker 4>maybe an aerial font or something like that to sort

0:34:23.160 --> 0:34:25.719
<v Speaker 4>of get the tone, which was like, you know, do

0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:27.840
<v Speaker 4>the best you can, like sort of like do the

0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:29.640
<v Speaker 4>best you can with what you have was sort of

0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:32.600
<v Speaker 4>the feeling behind that, with the energy that you had to.

0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:36.879
<v Speaker 2>Give what was happening on this podcast. And then number

0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:38.480
<v Speaker 2>eight hope for the best, Hope for the best. That's

0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of just like I don't know what to tell you.

0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:42.359
<v Speaker 4>Try you know, hey, it's out of your hands at

0:34:42.360 --> 0:34:44.799
<v Speaker 4>that point, there's greater powers at play. I think that

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:46.839
<v Speaker 4>this was a wonderful list of rules, and coming into

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 4>it not knowing you, I was like, this is a

0:34:48.320 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 4>thing that I feel like I got to know you

0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:53.120
<v Speaker 4>better through this, and so I wanted to immortalize that

0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:55.080
<v Speaker 4>way other people could also get to know you better.

0:34:55.239 --> 0:34:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Well. This must have been maybe not the first podcast

0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I did. I think the first podcast I ever did

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:02.239
<v Speaker 2>was do you need a ride because they need to

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:03.279
<v Speaker 2>ride to the airport? Oh?

0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Fun?

0:35:03.600 --> 0:35:05.960
<v Speaker 2>But this must have been an early thing I can't

0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:08.319
<v Speaker 2>imagine what else was said on that how many years

0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 2>of past seven I do have.

0:35:09.360 --> 0:35:10.839
<v Speaker 4>The YouTube link if you want to go back and

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:13.240
<v Speaker 4>watch it at this point, so you're more than welcome

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 4>to you not mortifying, pretty cool and fun.

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Actually, do you have any old YouTube clips that you're like,

0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:20.400
<v Speaker 2>get this off the internet?

0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:21.359
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm sure I do.

0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm positive because I grew up in a time especially

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:28.720
<v Speaker 4>where we had the power of YouTube, but also didn't

0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:29.800
<v Speaker 4>really understand.

0:35:29.440 --> 0:35:32.040
<v Speaker 2>The impact, you know what I mean, like early fire.

0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:35.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I deactivated my Facebook, so I feel comfortable saying this,

0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:37.360
<v Speaker 4>but I have a lot of Facebook videos of me

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:41.440
<v Speaker 4>doing video responses to things that people posted on my wall,

0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:44.319
<v Speaker 4>so with me being like hey, but it was also

0:35:44.400 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 4>me like doing it for other people, right, so it

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:50.240
<v Speaker 4>was like me being like, hey, back up, sorry one second,

0:35:50.280 --> 0:35:52.279
<v Speaker 4>I like take a second to like answer a text

0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:57.080
<v Speaker 4>message on my phone and do a very performative like So, yeah,

0:35:57.160 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, Like school was fun. I got soccer

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:04.200
<v Speaker 4>practice after this. They're making me play. They're making me

0:36:04.239 --> 0:36:06.400
<v Speaker 4>play midfielder because I run so well.

0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:08.759
<v Speaker 3>So I've got like videos like.

0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:10.719
<v Speaker 2>That comment after comment, just.

0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 4>Truly videos on my MacBook camera that I am posting

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:17.560
<v Speaker 4>on people's walls and it is mortifying. But I also

0:36:17.840 --> 0:36:20.239
<v Speaker 4>did download them just in case, of course, because I

0:36:20.239 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 4>think that is the sickness that we all have rights.

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:24.560
<v Speaker 4>I was like, I might need this for a show

0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:25.239
<v Speaker 4>at some point.

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is material. Yeah, God to hoard the material

0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:30.799
<v Speaker 2>is what you're gonna be able to make of it.

0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:32.480
<v Speaker 3>But I would say, this is not embarrassing.

0:36:32.560 --> 0:36:35.759
<v Speaker 4>This is excellent advice, and I felt so I felt

0:36:35.800 --> 0:36:38.040
<v Speaker 4>so privileged and happy to have this to know you

0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:38.920
<v Speaker 4>better as a person.

0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:40.839
<v Speaker 3>And it's a slice of life.

0:36:40.960 --> 0:36:42.759
<v Speaker 4>Right, That's how we look at it now, because now,

0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:46.440
<v Speaker 4>how much does it matter having stuff online for future jobs?

0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:51.600
<v Speaker 3>It can't unless it's awful, right, terrible? Yeah?

0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:55.920
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, yeah, I'm curious about this video job wise,

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 2>like pa type jobs, did you ever have anything like this?

0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I didn't, but I did work on a prank show,

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:00.879
<v Speaker 3>so talk about things.

0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:02.800
<v Speaker 4>So you asked me if I had anything embarrassing online,

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:04.520
<v Speaker 4>and I went really far back, but this was.

0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:05.319
<v Speaker 3>Not that far back.

0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:06.399
<v Speaker 2>What was the prank show?

0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:11.319
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I'm fearful because this is on Amazon right now?

0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh it is I think aired in Ukraine only it is.

0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:18.280
<v Speaker 3>It is celebrities pranking their fans.

0:37:18.280 --> 0:37:20.200
<v Speaker 4>It was called it was called You've Been had Celebrity

0:37:20.360 --> 0:37:25.960
<v Speaker 4>Edition and there's no other addition. It's just no other editions.

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 3>And it was like people that were like.

0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:34.440
<v Speaker 4>Teens on eighties shows were there, and Gilberto fred was

0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 4>on an episode.

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:36.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to say names.

0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 4>It's very findable, but I'm scared it was well, I'll

0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 4>say it.

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Josie Davis was the one on one that I did.

0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Was on Charles in Charge.

0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I believe Scott Bail was in charge.

0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:52.399
<v Speaker 4>You nailed it then in that case, fantastic. Yes, so yes,

0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:54.600
<v Speaker 4>Charle's in charge. A lot of the Charles in Charge cast,

0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:56.680
<v Speaker 4>but yeah, it was then like Gilbert Gofried I was

0:37:56.719 --> 0:37:58.759
<v Speaker 4>supposed to do with David Orcatte and he didn't show up.

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:01.960
<v Speaker 3>But that was okay. That was sort of the vibe of.

0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:04.400
<v Speaker 2>What were the pranks you were doing?

0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:04.879
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:08.160
<v Speaker 4>Really honestly kind of scary at one point, so because

0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 4>it was so the first one alone behind the curtains.

0:38:11.080 --> 0:38:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Again, we're getting sued, We're getting sued all the way.

0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:16.240
<v Speaker 4>And this was also I think twenty sixteen, so statute

0:38:16.280 --> 0:38:17.040
<v Speaker 4>of Limitations.

0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, cool, seven years, Yeah.

0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:20.040
<v Speaker 3>A seven years.

0:38:20.040 --> 0:38:21.400
<v Speaker 4>So this was literally what I was doing at the

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:23.399
<v Speaker 4>same time as you were giving pa advice. I could

0:38:23.400 --> 0:38:27.000
<v Speaker 4>have used the advice. So one of the pranks was

0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 4>and this was when they literally had found fans of this.

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Person on the internet.

0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:34.160
<v Speaker 4>I won't say who again easily findable, but you don't

0:38:34.160 --> 0:38:35.040
<v Speaker 4>have to, and it's really.

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Not worth that part of it.

0:38:36.760 --> 0:38:40.920
<v Speaker 4>They had this person pretend to shoplift and I was

0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:42.840
<v Speaker 4>like the person in the store working in the store,

0:38:43.160 --> 0:38:45.160
<v Speaker 4>and it was like the celebrity was trying to get

0:38:45.160 --> 0:38:48.719
<v Speaker 4>her fan to shoplift with her, and then I'm in

0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:51.400
<v Speaker 4>the store and then they have fake undercover police officers

0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:53.640
<v Speaker 4>that come in and are like, we caught you to shoplifting.

0:38:53.719 --> 0:38:56.680
<v Speaker 4>It was like legitimately, uh scary, and I would say

0:38:56.719 --> 0:38:58.879
<v Speaker 4>the fans didn't follow a great reaction to it.

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 2>Shock right was there like a public breakdown a little bit.

0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:05.280
<v Speaker 4>But then the producers was like, can you come back

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:06.760
<v Speaker 4>and say I've been had?

0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:07.440
<v Speaker 2>And so.

0:39:08.880 --> 0:39:11.040
<v Speaker 4>We have an hour long break where this woman has

0:39:11.239 --> 0:39:17.040
<v Speaker 4>rightfully had a absolute breakdown about potentially being arrested, and

0:39:17.080 --> 0:39:19.479
<v Speaker 4>then she comes back and is like, well, this was fun.

0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:22.880
<v Speaker 4>I've been had, Like this is so fun, like and

0:39:22.920 --> 0:39:25.840
<v Speaker 4>then from there on out, they got they hired people

0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:28.600
<v Speaker 4>to get prayed, which I think is made us all

0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:30.880
<v Speaker 4>feel a lot better about the situation.

0:39:30.640 --> 0:39:33.560
<v Speaker 2>A little more moral. Yeah, but like every person had

0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 2>to say, I've been had.

0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:36.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I had to come back, and I believe this.

0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:39.400
<v Speaker 4>The phrase was I've been had, I've been had.

0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:43.680
<v Speaker 2>It's such an old fashioned thing. Yeah.

0:39:43.719 --> 0:39:45.759
<v Speaker 4>And again it went one season and I did think

0:39:45.800 --> 0:39:47.960
<v Speaker 4>I do think only aired somewhere I think Ukraine, but

0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:50.759
<v Speaker 4>it was somewhere in eastern Europe and then and then

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:52.680
<v Speaker 4>was on Amazon at least for a little bit, and

0:39:52.719 --> 0:39:55.360
<v Speaker 4>I think, wow, hopefully you can't find it anyway.

0:39:55.360 --> 0:39:58.359
<v Speaker 2>What was what was the fake thing that? I mean?

0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:01.440
<v Speaker 2>What was being shoplifted clothes? I think cloth?

0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:04.440
<v Speaker 3>It went for lunch earlier next door.

0:40:04.480 --> 0:40:07.960
<v Speaker 4>But again, it's like a tough it's a really tough

0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:10.880
<v Speaker 4>premise for a show, because it's theoretically fans that are

0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:13.719
<v Speaker 4>so excited about meeting a celebrity that they're a fan

0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:17.560
<v Speaker 4>of and then are just like getting punk style pranked

0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:19.680
<v Speaker 4>in ways that are tough.

0:40:20.160 --> 0:40:22.160
<v Speaker 3>I remember arriving on set and then being like, okay,

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:23.359
<v Speaker 3>so here's the premise.

0:40:23.040 --> 0:40:26.239
<v Speaker 4>And I just remember going we're sure that this is

0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:28.439
<v Speaker 4>what we want to do with this, and them going yep,

0:40:28.520 --> 0:40:33.240
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna be very funny and going ohky.

0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:34.480
<v Speaker 2>The fan is going to kill the celebrity spouse.

0:40:34.920 --> 0:40:37.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah it's a murder. Yeah, there's a murder.

0:40:38.960 --> 0:40:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's really interesting. And the shoplifting we can get

0:40:43.440 --> 0:40:45.920
<v Speaker 2>away from this. But how was the shoplifting done like

0:40:45.920 --> 0:40:47.239
<v Speaker 2>shoving it in their pants or was it going on

0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 2>celebrity being.

0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Like, watch I do this all the time. I come

0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:51.160
<v Speaker 4>here all the time and I do this, and it

0:40:51.239 --> 0:40:52.719
<v Speaker 4>was like putting stuff in their bag. And it also

0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:54.840
<v Speaker 4>was a moment too of the fan being like what

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:57.120
<v Speaker 4>is going on? Like clearly being like and then them

0:40:57.160 --> 0:40:57.920
<v Speaker 4>in my ear being.

0:40:57.760 --> 0:40:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Like, she's onto us, she's onto us. Say something that

0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:01.160
<v Speaker 3>a shop work would say, say something that a shop

0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:01.880
<v Speaker 3>clerk would.

0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:02.319
<v Speaker 2>Say, welcome in.

0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was high pressure.

0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:07.759
<v Speaker 4>Really so I have never been a PA, but that

0:41:07.920 --> 0:41:08.839
<v Speaker 4>is the closest thing.

0:41:08.920 --> 0:41:11.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm getting yelled at a lot to sort of like

0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:14.920
<v Speaker 3>say things, how long did you do things? On and off?

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:16.359
<v Speaker 4>I think I got it was like when I had

0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:17.839
<v Speaker 4>just started at UCB, and it was one of those

0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:20.719
<v Speaker 4>things where like the casting blasts came in like, oh,

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:22.359
<v Speaker 4>you can work on this prank show, and I was like, yeah,

0:41:22.400 --> 0:41:24.440
<v Speaker 4>work on a prank show. I'd just come down from Canada.

0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:26.080
<v Speaker 4>I was going to make friends. I was like, this

0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:27.920
<v Speaker 4>is like a fun opportunity.

0:41:28.760 --> 0:41:29.520
<v Speaker 3>I'd love to work.

0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:32.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what's the advice you would give to someone

0:41:32.320 --> 0:41:34.200
<v Speaker 2>who's working on a prank show that's going to air?

0:41:34.200 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 3>And a great question.

0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:38.440
<v Speaker 4>First one, don't give up to just keep doing everything

0:41:38.480 --> 0:41:41.240
<v Speaker 4>you can outside of that job to make yourself visible

0:41:41.280 --> 0:41:43.120
<v Speaker 4>on some level, which I think I really succeeded with

0:41:43.160 --> 0:41:45.239
<v Speaker 4>in that three. I know that it's not gonna last

0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:47.239
<v Speaker 4>forever because it's a prank show, and literally, as a

0:41:47.280 --> 0:41:49.000
<v Speaker 4>prank is done, you can go home. A.

0:41:49.520 --> 0:41:49.759
<v Speaker 3>Four.

0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:52.799
<v Speaker 4>At some point, this is going to be over and

0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:55.359
<v Speaker 4>it's going to be done. Five You'll either die five

0:41:55.440 --> 0:41:57.560
<v Speaker 4>B or you'll find a way out, and both will

0:41:57.600 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 4>be better than what you're doing, because honestly I did.

0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:01.880
<v Speaker 4>I did have a moment after that thing where I

0:42:01.920 --> 0:42:03.200
<v Speaker 4>was like, this is the meanest thing I've ever seen

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:04.040
<v Speaker 4>happen to somebody.

0:42:03.840 --> 0:42:07.040
<v Speaker 3>And I thought maybe I am just done, Maybe this

0:42:07.200 --> 0:42:07.799
<v Speaker 3>is not for me.

0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:12.040
<v Speaker 4>Six I said already, So Sevin, just like, do the

0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:14.440
<v Speaker 4>best job you can and be as nice to everyone

0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:16.920
<v Speaker 4>around you as you can, which again I think I

0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:19.200
<v Speaker 4>also need an italics change for that because I didn't

0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:20.680
<v Speaker 4>want to be there, and I made that pretty known.

0:42:21.320 --> 0:42:23.640
<v Speaker 3>I eight hope for the best. It's all you can

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:24.480
<v Speaker 3>do at the end of the day.

0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:27.719
<v Speaker 2>All makes perfect sense if you're on a Frank show. Yeah,

0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:29.880
<v Speaker 2>that's really be honest.

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:31.440
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know you, so I was like, is this

0:42:31.480 --> 0:42:33.480
<v Speaker 4>a good gift? I wanted something personal, and I was like,

0:42:33.600 --> 0:42:35.880
<v Speaker 4>is this a good gift or was this a gift

0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:37.880
<v Speaker 4>that was the kind of thing where you're gonna go

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:41.759
<v Speaker 4>Vic is an asshole sort of around and about what.

0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:43.520
<v Speaker 2>If you start hearing that I've been talking about you.

0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:50.040
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, to have a beef with my favorite podcast host would.

0:42:49.840 --> 0:42:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Be an honor.

0:42:52.239 --> 0:42:54.279
<v Speaker 4>To be hated by someone I respect so much, it

0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:55.759
<v Speaker 4>might make me feel like I've made it.

0:42:56.800 --> 0:42:59.239
<v Speaker 2>This is an excellent gift. Thank you for seeing much

0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:03.359
<v Speaker 2>quality gift thought was put into it. It's you know,

0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:06.080
<v Speaker 2>it's a beautiful thing I can display in my home.

0:43:06.239 --> 0:43:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Sure people will look at it and then I'll be like,

0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:10.560
<v Speaker 2>oh wow, I can take that into my own life.

0:43:10.680 --> 0:43:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:43:11.360 --> 0:43:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Guests at the home of the podcast something.

0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:15.640
<v Speaker 4>Where somebody would feel like they knew you better after

0:43:15.719 --> 0:43:17.839
<v Speaker 4>looking at it, you know, and.

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:19.600
<v Speaker 2>This is a true look into who I am as

0:43:19.600 --> 0:43:20.920
<v Speaker 2>a verse certain.

0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:24.239
<v Speaker 4>A locative time. It's a conversation starter. People would be like,

0:43:24.239 --> 0:43:26.560
<v Speaker 4>what is this? Why are you displaying this in your bathroom?

0:43:26.640 --> 0:43:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Why would you put up your own roles in your

0:43:29.840 --> 0:43:33.920
<v Speaker 2>This feels very earnest. Yeah, that is going to go

0:43:33.920 --> 0:43:35.719
<v Speaker 2>in my bathroom. Do you think it's going to go

0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:36.240
<v Speaker 2>in my office?

0:43:36.280 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 4>Bathroo Dard, don't say that if you don't mean it.

0:43:38.080 --> 0:43:40.080
<v Speaker 4>It's going to thank you for saying that. I really

0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:40.640
<v Speaker 4>appreciate it.

0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Back on the podcast, and beforehand, I'm gonna say, please

0:43:43.600 --> 0:43:46.120
<v Speaker 2>drink as much as possible before coming here, and then

0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:48.040
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have to use the restroom and you'll see it.

0:43:48.200 --> 0:43:50.360
<v Speaker 3>I like the well, I'll just say, I don't know

0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:51.120
<v Speaker 3>if I'm allowed to say.

0:43:51.120 --> 0:43:53.160
<v Speaker 4>People behind the current recording outside, and I don't know

0:43:53.160 --> 0:43:54.640
<v Speaker 4>if this is everybody or we just didn't know each

0:43:54.680 --> 0:43:56.000
<v Speaker 4>other well enough that you were like, let's do this

0:43:56.040 --> 0:43:57.839
<v Speaker 4>one outside and then we'll see if we can earn

0:43:57.880 --> 0:43:59.359
<v Speaker 4>a living room record at some point.

0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:03.919
<v Speaker 2>No, they're all outside unless we've had a couple where

0:44:03.960 --> 0:44:09.000
<v Speaker 2>there was like a jackhammer or bad weather, but it's

0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:11.040
<v Speaker 2>mostly outside. Yeah, so I.

0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:12.200
<v Speaker 3>Mean, listen, it's lovely.

0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:14.359
<v Speaker 4>You have the most beautiful yard bush I've ever been

0:44:14.360 --> 0:44:15.240
<v Speaker 4>to in Los Angeles.

0:44:15.280 --> 0:44:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:44:16.280 --> 0:44:16.880
<v Speaker 3>It's true.

0:44:17.400 --> 0:44:19.480
<v Speaker 2>People are going to get an idea about this backyard

0:44:19.520 --> 0:44:21.640
<v Speaker 2>that is going to be deeply disappointing.

0:44:21.680 --> 0:44:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Pools in that you have a found him with three

0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:26.680
<v Speaker 4>little sections in it.

0:44:26.680 --> 0:44:30.680
<v Speaker 2>It's fifty acres. There are two different swimming pools. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:44:30.760 --> 0:44:33.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and there's just a beautiful exotic wildlife kind

0:44:33.480 --> 0:44:34.759
<v Speaker 2>of wandering around. Yeah.

0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:36.560
<v Speaker 3>Have you ever had a coyote run in through here

0:44:36.640 --> 0:44:37.319
<v Speaker 3>or anything like that.

0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:39.680
<v Speaker 2>We've never had a coyote because their fences all over,

0:44:39.760 --> 0:44:43.719
<v Speaker 2>but there are certainly raccoons and squirrels that will like

0:44:44.080 --> 0:44:47.640
<v Speaker 2>knock the plants or the pots over, that will eat things.

0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:50.560
<v Speaker 3>We are you married, I have a partner, So I

0:44:50.600 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 3>asked that question.

0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:52.920
<v Speaker 4>But I did know that because of all the googling

0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:55.520
<v Speaker 4>that I did, and I needed it to come up

0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:56.520
<v Speaker 4>in conversation that way.

0:44:56.560 --> 0:44:59.320
<v Speaker 3>I just I wasn't like I just knew that information.

0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Admitted you were searching me and to the point that

0:45:02.840 --> 0:45:05.560
<v Speaker 2>you found like the oldest possible video clip of fame.

0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:08.560
<v Speaker 4>You're making me sound crazy, and I want to make

0:45:08.600 --> 0:45:09.680
<v Speaker 4>me sound crazy alone.

0:45:11.160 --> 0:45:15.719
<v Speaker 2>That's your job. Yes, I do have a partner. Well,

0:45:15.960 --> 0:45:18.320
<v Speaker 2>i'd call him my boyfriend. You know whatever.

0:45:18.640 --> 0:45:21.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I apologize your partner boyfriend boyfriend?

0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:25.040
<v Speaker 4>You did just say I you said, you said, actually

0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:27.280
<v Speaker 4>it's boyfriend, and then I went back and I said partner.

0:45:27.360 --> 0:45:29.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm really trying to let's get I'm trying to paint

0:45:29.680 --> 0:45:32.040
<v Speaker 4>on in label and I apologize.

0:45:32.880 --> 0:45:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's just settle on my wife. Yes, I have

0:45:36.560 --> 0:45:39.799
<v Speaker 2>a wife. Yes, but wait, why did you bring up

0:45:39.800 --> 0:45:41.560
<v Speaker 2>if I have a partner or a boyfriend.

0:45:42.520 --> 0:45:45.120
<v Speaker 4>I knew this information, but then it felt a crazy

0:45:45.120 --> 0:45:47.279
<v Speaker 4>thing to just know about you from googling you, and

0:45:47.360 --> 0:45:49.600
<v Speaker 4>so I was like, I need to have this come

0:45:49.680 --> 0:45:50.840
<v Speaker 4>up in conversation somehow.

0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:53.200
<v Speaker 3>That way if I mention it in casual conversation and stop,

0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:55.480
<v Speaker 3>just like I didn't say that, how did I know

0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:56.160
<v Speaker 3>that I live?

0:45:56.560 --> 0:45:58.320
<v Speaker 2>That is the world we anytime someone goes on a

0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:00.640
<v Speaker 2>first state, it's like, well, we already I know literally

0:46:00.640 --> 0:46:03.080
<v Speaker 2>everything about it, Like there's we just need to admit

0:46:03.480 --> 0:46:05.719
<v Speaker 2>before meeting someone you're doing the looking Do you.

0:46:05.640 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 4>Prefer having that thing of somebody being like, oh, yeah,

0:46:07.520 --> 0:46:09.160
<v Speaker 4>I know this from online, like I googled this, Like

0:46:09.200 --> 0:46:09.879
<v Speaker 4>I know this thing.

0:46:10.040 --> 0:46:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I think I would prefer that. Yeah, well you me.

0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:16.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Well, I'm like, I'm a very private person online.

0:46:16.040 --> 0:46:19.040
<v Speaker 4>I would say, like I sort of, I just don't

0:46:19.040 --> 0:46:21.520
<v Speaker 4>really say anything about my life or anything like that,

0:46:21.600 --> 0:46:23.640
<v Speaker 4>just because for this sort of reason, I'm like, I

0:46:23.760 --> 0:46:26.200
<v Speaker 4>like organic conversations, and so I'd rather get to know

0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:28.640
<v Speaker 4>somebody in real life, which is why I think I've

0:46:28.640 --> 0:46:32.240
<v Speaker 4>done these gymnastics to manufacture of this moment.

0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:35.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, I try to keep as quiet as

0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:38.840
<v Speaker 2>possible about my life online, but once you have a podcast,

0:46:38.880 --> 0:46:42.560
<v Speaker 2>it's nearly impossible to keep most details under wraps.

0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:44.800
<v Speaker 4>Because people sort of poke and prod and ask questions

0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:47.759
<v Speaker 4>what was your Mormon childhood like exactly?

0:46:48.480 --> 0:46:50.319
<v Speaker 2>And then you end up on a podcast talking about

0:46:50.320 --> 0:46:52.760
<v Speaker 2>your life as a production assistant, and everybody knows. Sure,

0:46:52.800 --> 0:46:53.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm humiliating.

0:46:55.080 --> 0:46:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Do you have people ask you a lot about your

0:46:56.680 --> 0:46:57.880
<v Speaker 3>gift giving style? I bet you do.

0:46:58.200 --> 0:46:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:46:58.560 --> 0:47:00.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Okay, so I'm not going to and I never would.

0:47:00.920 --> 0:47:04.439
<v Speaker 2>The one word is bad. No, I'm a bad gift giver.

0:47:04.520 --> 0:47:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Can't be true?

0:47:05.239 --> 0:47:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I mean fil it's certainly true.

0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:07.759
<v Speaker 3>Can't be true.

0:47:07.920 --> 0:47:10.279
<v Speaker 4>Listen, you're your demeanor and everything about you. This is

0:47:10.320 --> 0:47:12.320
<v Speaker 4>such a present already your presidence. The president is of

0:47:12.320 --> 0:47:16.520
<v Speaker 4>theme song says, how do you know that? Because I've

0:47:16.560 --> 0:47:18.000
<v Speaker 4>listened to someone's done some research.

0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:19.320

<v Speaker 3>I'm putting that out into the universe.

0:47:38.520 --> 0:47:39.800
<v Speaker 2>It's just gonna say you're a perf.

0:47:40.040 --> 0:47:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, cursive though. It's gonna be pretty.

0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's gonna beautiful. That could be something that they

0:47:44.840 --> 0:47:47.160
<v Speaker 2>sell at home goods, I think so just you know

0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:49.880
<v Speaker 2>sign that just says pervert and a beautiful font and

0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:53.520
<v Speaker 2>pleasant beige and brown. I can see that.

0:47:53.560 --> 0:47:55.239
<v Speaker 3>Can I tell you my deepest secret because you told

0:47:55.239 --> 0:47:56.120
<v Speaker 3>me a secret earlier?

0:47:56.160 --> 0:47:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Please?

0:47:56.880 --> 0:47:59.480
<v Speaker 4>I want a picture or a piece of art good

0:47:59.600 --> 0:48:02.440
<v Speaker 4>enough that sometimes Walgreens does the displays of like you know,

0:48:02.520 --> 0:48:04.000
<v Speaker 4>like oh this one was cool, and then they'll like

0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:05.799
<v Speaker 4>leave it on display in the Walgreens.

0:48:05.840 --> 0:48:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Wait, like photo photos or things like that. Of course,

0:48:09.080 --> 0:48:09.719
<v Speaker 2>you imagine.

0:48:09.840 --> 0:48:13.960
<v Speaker 4>I would love to create something interesting and beautiful and

0:48:13.960 --> 0:48:15.960
<v Speaker 4>sterile enough that they have decided to put it up

0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:17.440
<v Speaker 4>in the Walgreens as an example of the.

0:48:17.360 --> 0:48:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Work that I think so absolute, at least of my

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:21.360
<v Speaker 3>local Walgreens.

0:48:22.680 --> 0:48:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, keep trying. I don't know what that'll take. You

0:48:25.680 --> 0:48:28.239
<v Speaker 2>just have to kind of think of like a stock photographer.

0:48:28.600 --> 0:48:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh sure, keep that in mind, and eventually they're gonna

0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:33.960
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if they have to ask for permission.

0:48:33.840 --> 0:48:35.400
<v Speaker 3>Stock photography.

0:48:36.560 --> 0:48:37.040
<v Speaker 2>To do that.

0:48:37.239 --> 0:48:40.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean probably, I'm sure that they're all stock photos.

0:48:40.800 --> 0:48:41.239
<v Speaker 2>I'll do it.

0:48:41.280 --> 0:48:43.120
<v Speaker 3>I'll do stock photography. I did do stock.

0:48:42.880 --> 0:48:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Photography as a model, or photography.

0:48:45.680 --> 0:48:47.040
<v Speaker 3>As a stock model.

0:48:47.920 --> 0:48:49.719
<v Speaker 4>They pay you three hundred dollars and then can use

0:48:49.719 --> 0:48:50.800
<v Speaker 4>your image forever.

0:48:51.280 --> 0:48:51.440
<v Speaker 5>Hm.

0:48:52.000 --> 0:48:53.760
<v Speaker 2>So I'll deal with the Devil's situation.

0:48:53.800 --> 0:48:55.400
<v Speaker 4>I've never seen it again, though it was all in

0:48:56.360 --> 0:49:00.560
<v Speaker 4>where it was like knock on wood. I almost it

0:49:00.600 --> 0:49:02.719
<v Speaker 4>does look so photo real that I did almost knock

0:49:02.719 --> 0:49:05.680
<v Speaker 4>on your beautiful piece of art.

0:49:07.760 --> 0:49:10.719
<v Speaker 2>How about so you only did stock photography once once?

0:49:10.880 --> 0:49:12.480
<v Speaker 2>What were you doing in the image?

0:49:13.080 --> 0:49:14.040
<v Speaker 3>We were in a boardroom.

0:49:14.120 --> 0:49:16.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh, Okay, it was like but it was crazy because

0:49:16.600 --> 0:49:18.879
<v Speaker 4>I would have been in my early twenties and they

0:49:19.400 --> 0:49:21.600
<v Speaker 4>it also would have been a group of people in

0:49:21.600 --> 0:49:23.480
<v Speaker 4>the early twenties. But they wanted to show off the

0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:27.160
<v Speaker 4>space of this like office that they were using. They

0:49:27.200 --> 0:49:31.000
<v Speaker 4>were like, oh, so it's like big office with boardroom people.

0:49:31.000 --> 0:49:33.080
<v Speaker 4>But they had us dressing like we were like in

0:49:33.120 --> 0:49:35.960
<v Speaker 4>a meeting with the CEO. But everybody would have been

0:49:36.080 --> 0:49:38.839
<v Speaker 4>nineteen to twenty one tops.

0:49:38.719 --> 0:49:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Some twenty something's hanging out at the boardroom.

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:43.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, to be like what are we doing? Like, what

0:49:43.640 --> 0:49:45.840
<v Speaker 4>is the in what context?

0:49:45.960 --> 0:49:51.160
<v Speaker 3>What job? Startup? Maybe startup now that I'm thinking of MLML.

0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:53.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, more, probably more MLM. I feel like startup. They

0:49:53.280 --> 0:49:55.240
<v Speaker 2>want a ping pong table in the background or something

0:49:55.280 --> 0:49:55.600
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:49:55.680 --> 0:49:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Sure, less bicycles we're biking from to keep call, right.

0:49:59.400 --> 0:50:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if they still do that up in the

0:50:01.080 --> 0:50:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Bay Area. I feel like clamping down on the.

0:50:03.320 --> 0:50:06.040
<v Speaker 4>Fun clamping down on the funnels.

0:50:06.400 --> 0:50:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's time to play a game.

0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh I would love that.

0:50:12.600 --> 0:50:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we're gonna play a game called Gift or a Curse.

<v Speaker 4>and the you know.

0:50:38.680 --> 0:50:40.359

0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:34.080
<v Speaker 2>better place. Totally should be a better place.

0:51:34.120 --> 0:51:36.520

<v Speaker 2>because there are correct answers. You can lose, you can win.

0:52:58.760 --> 0:53:00.239
<v Speaker 3>Bridger do it? I this.

0:53:00.320 --> 0:53:02.360
<v Speaker 4>I hate this wishy washy like, oh, it's up to

0:53:02.400 --> 0:53:04.920
<v Speaker 4>you choose your own adventure. No, I want exact answers.

0:53:04.960 --> 0:53:06.200
<v Speaker 4>I want there to be a metric of how I

0:53:06.239 --> 0:53:07.040
<v Speaker 4>can win or how I.

0:53:07.040 --> 0:53:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Can best rules. Yes, that's how people learn. Yes, okay.

0:53:11.680 --> 0:53:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Number one This is from a listener named Danielle. Gift

0:53:14.360 --> 0:53:16.760
<v Speaker 2>or a curse, crying in public.

0:53:17.400 --> 0:53:19.960
<v Speaker 4>Trick question gift if you're the one watching curse, if

0:53:20.000 --> 0:53:20.920
<v Speaker 4>you're the one doing.

0:53:20.800 --> 0:53:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, you have to, you have to name one

0:53:22.960 --> 0:53:23.279
<v Speaker 2>or the other.

0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:26.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, so then can I ask for clarification? Am I

0:53:26.400 --> 0:53:28.479
<v Speaker 4>watching somebody crying in public? Or am I the one crying?

0:53:28.520 --> 0:53:34.200
<v Speaker 4>Now again, I can't give you any more information, Elise. Okay, okay,

0:53:34.239 --> 0:53:36.839
<v Speaker 4>here's what I'm taking this. So I recognize that I'm

0:53:36.880 --> 0:53:39.640
<v Speaker 4>taking a gamble here. I am taking this as a

0:53:39.680 --> 0:53:43.160
<v Speaker 4>people crying in public okay, not me included, mm hmm.

0:53:43.440 --> 0:53:45.640
<v Speaker 4>And I am going to say a gift because again

0:53:45.760 --> 0:53:48.680
<v Speaker 4>it's like a for two reasons. One, it's drama. We love,

0:53:48.880 --> 0:53:51.080
<v Speaker 4>we like to make life interesting. It's so much of

0:53:51.280 --> 0:53:54.080
<v Speaker 4>phone phone fun watching a production in public?

0:53:54.280 --> 0:53:55.000
<v Speaker 2>What a gift?

0:53:56.040 --> 0:53:58.000
<v Speaker 4>And then I will also say for you like and

0:53:58.040 --> 0:53:59.839
<v Speaker 4>then it's also sort of like a two of love

0:53:59.880 --> 0:54:02.360
<v Speaker 4>and to never have loved it all type situation, like

0:54:02.400 --> 0:54:05.360
<v Speaker 4>to be that connected to your emotions that it's overwhelming

0:54:05.360 --> 0:54:08.040
<v Speaker 4>in a place of such public you can't even hold

0:54:08.040 --> 0:54:08.760
<v Speaker 4>it in anymore.

0:54:08.800 --> 0:54:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Like, I what a gift to be alive?

0:54:12.440 --> 0:54:14.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you just took the words right out of

0:54:14.280 --> 0:54:14.600
<v Speaker 2>my mouth.

0:54:14.600 --> 0:54:16.520
<v Speaker 3>It's a here we go, look at us?

0:54:16.640 --> 0:54:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean we are so in sync on this one.

0:54:19.200 --> 0:54:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I can't even like there's nothing else I can even

0:54:21.080 --> 0:54:23.200
<v Speaker 2>say so I love to watch it unfold.

0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:54:23.800 --> 0:54:27.600
<v Speaker 2>It also provides a hero moment. Maybe maybe you can

0:54:27.880 --> 0:54:30.200
<v Speaker 2>dip in and say what can I help you with? Yeah,

0:54:30.200 --> 0:54:30.959
<v Speaker 2>and then come as.

0:54:30.840 --> 0:54:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Part of a person's tapestry. They remember that for ever, right.

0:54:33.600 --> 0:54:36.919
<v Speaker 2>And also maybe a memorable thing is like they say

0:54:36.960 --> 0:54:38.719
<v Speaker 2>I need this and you say, oh, I can't help

0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:40.000
<v Speaker 2>you with that, and then you get to walk away.

0:54:40.000 --> 0:54:43.319
<v Speaker 2>That's also a fun feeling, sure, denying help. Yeah, and

0:54:43.840 --> 0:54:46.960
<v Speaker 2>unleashing yourself in public and making yourself everyone else's problem

0:54:47.160 --> 0:54:47.640
<v Speaker 2>a dream?

0:54:47.880 --> 0:54:49.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Is there anything better than that?

0:54:49.320 --> 0:54:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Not?

0:54:49.440 --> 0:54:51.239
<v Speaker 3>Really? Why did we get into this business in the

0:54:51.239 --> 0:54:51.760
<v Speaker 3>first place?

0:54:51.920 --> 0:54:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's your little show. Yes, it's your little show.

0:54:55.920 --> 0:54:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Beautifully played on that one. Number two. This is from

0:54:58.080 --> 0:55:02.040
<v Speaker 2>a listener named Lance. Okay, gift a curse more to Deella,

0:55:02.280 --> 0:55:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh what are you familiar with? More to Deella?

0:55:04.280 --> 0:55:05.560
<v Speaker 3>May ask for a definition.

0:55:05.840 --> 0:55:09.839
<v Speaker 2>It's like the it's like balogney or salami, or it's

0:55:09.880 --> 0:55:17.200
<v Speaker 2>like a a meat, kind of a soft deli meat

0:55:17.520 --> 0:55:20.880
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of served in slices. Okay, it's kind of it.

0:55:20.960 --> 0:55:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I've been saying the last few years has kind of

0:55:22.600 --> 0:55:23.400
<v Speaker 2>had its moment.

0:55:24.400 --> 0:55:26.359
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So here's the thing. I tricked you into giving

0:55:26.360 --> 0:55:27.120
<v Speaker 4>me more information.

0:55:27.360 --> 0:55:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, Wow, interesting, I really gave it.

0:55:29.920 --> 0:55:32.640
<v Speaker 4>The last few years has had a moment. I am

0:55:32.680 --> 0:55:35.239
<v Speaker 4>going to say, okay, stay with me.

0:55:37.239 --> 0:55:40.319
<v Speaker 3>A gift. I'm seeing a.

0:55:40.320 --> 0:55:42.200
<v Speaker 4>Cross and an uncross and I'm not loving that, so

0:55:42.200 --> 0:55:44.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm changing my answer to curse. I see it as

0:55:44.320 --> 0:55:46.319
<v Speaker 4>it's a gift. I had a gift right now of

0:55:46.320 --> 0:55:48.960
<v Speaker 4>being able to change my mind to a curse. And

0:55:49.000 --> 0:55:50.240
<v Speaker 4>now we're pursing our lips.

0:55:50.280 --> 0:55:54.920
<v Speaker 3>What is going on? I'm freaking out. I'm having a meltdown.

0:55:56.280 --> 0:55:58.240
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna be crying in public very soon.

0:55:59.480 --> 0:56:02.279
<v Speaker 4>Okay, here's no here's what I want to do. I'm

0:56:02.280 --> 0:56:04.319
<v Speaker 4>saying a curse because I didn't understand what it is.

0:56:04.320 --> 0:56:08.879
<v Speaker 4>It's making me seem stupid on a podcast. It's making

0:56:08.880 --> 0:56:11.799
<v Speaker 4>me look like an indecisive idiot. So it doesn't matter

0:56:11.800 --> 0:56:13.920
<v Speaker 4>what the answer is because it is my personal curse.

0:56:15.160 --> 0:56:16.719
<v Speaker 3>You're correct, Oh, thank god.

0:56:17.400 --> 0:56:19.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what. I don't know why. It's having

0:56:19.840 --> 0:56:22.280
<v Speaker 2>a moment. I think it's gross, Yes, disgusting.

0:56:22.320 --> 0:56:23.239
<v Speaker 3>I didn't say that, and it did.

0:56:23.480 --> 0:56:25.719
<v Speaker 2>I'll say the texture is fluffy?

0:56:26.040 --> 0:56:30.600
<v Speaker 3>How is that possible? Like syrophog yeah, I guess that's true.

0:56:30.719 --> 0:56:33.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a It's just it's this thing that's uh, whenever

0:56:33.640 --> 0:56:37.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm served mortadella, I'm like, I don't think so fancy.

0:56:38.200 --> 0:56:41.799
<v Speaker 2>It is fancy, I think, but it's not and it's

0:56:41.960 --> 0:56:45.359
<v Speaker 2>gross and it looks gross. There's nothing I'm.

0:56:45.760 --> 0:56:46.680
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, you're basing.

0:56:46.800 --> 0:56:49.440
<v Speaker 4>You're building its case to be a curse, because then

0:56:49.480 --> 0:56:51.400
<v Speaker 4>it's something that's one of my least favorite things on

0:56:51.440 --> 0:56:53.640
<v Speaker 4>the planet, which is it's disgusting, but you have to

0:56:53.640 --> 0:56:56.640
<v Speaker 4>pretend like it's nice or interesting just because it's expensive

0:56:57.000 --> 0:56:59.839
<v Speaker 4>and you are having the opportunity to try it, you.

0:56:59.800 --> 0:57:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Know, I mean, well, but the thing is is it's

0:57:02.920 --> 0:57:06.200
<v Speaker 2>also often like in an Italian deli sandwich, but it's

0:57:06.239 --> 0:57:09.600
<v Speaker 2>not flavorful enough to be there. I vote a salami

0:57:09.680 --> 0:57:10.280
<v Speaker 2>or a pepperoni.

0:57:10.360 --> 0:57:12.520
<v Speaker 4>Know exactly what this is, now, oh you do, now

0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:14.120
<v Speaker 4>that you have said this, I know exactly what it

0:57:14.120 --> 0:57:16.480
<v Speaker 4>is because there's an eighteen dollars sandwich that they sell

0:57:16.480 --> 0:57:18.360
<v Speaker 4>at a coffee shop around the corner for me, and

0:57:18.400 --> 0:57:20.520
<v Speaker 4>it absolutely has this in it. Because I looked at

0:57:20.520 --> 0:57:22.440
<v Speaker 4>that sandwich, I didn't realize it was eighteen dollars. I

0:57:22.480 --> 0:57:25.439
<v Speaker 4>taped my card walked home and I said, I can't

0:57:25.440 --> 0:57:27.960
<v Speaker 4>believe I spent eighteen dollars on the sandwich. The focacca incredible,

0:57:28.000 --> 0:57:30.640
<v Speaker 4>the walsamic vinegar life changing. And then you get to

0:57:30.680 --> 0:57:33.320
<v Speaker 4>this disgusting meat. I'm a vegetarian and you bite into

0:57:33.360 --> 0:57:35.680
<v Speaker 4>it and it just is like, I know what you mean,

0:57:35.920 --> 0:57:37.120
<v Speaker 4>it's like revolting.

0:57:37.320 --> 0:57:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, I don't. Yeah. I feel like it's kind

0:57:40.560 --> 0:57:44.240
<v Speaker 2>of a king's what's the uh, the Emperor's new clothes

0:57:44.320 --> 0:57:45.000
<v Speaker 2>type situation.

0:57:45.080 --> 0:57:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I thought you're gonna say the Emperor's new groove.

0:57:46.920 --> 0:57:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Ooh, I'm just realizing that's what that's based on. Is

0:57:50.320 --> 0:57:53.720
<v Speaker 2>it must be gott to be interesting?

0:57:53.840 --> 0:57:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Lama is the no clothes?

0:57:54.960 --> 0:57:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Okay, very interesting? Okay, excellently played. We hate mortadella. Yeah,

0:57:59.600 --> 0:58:02.240
<v Speaker 2>number three, You've gotten two rights so far.

0:58:02.280 --> 0:58:03.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm feeling great about this.

0:58:03.680 --> 0:58:05.680
<v Speaker 2>This is from a listener named Molina. Gift or a

0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:10.320
<v Speaker 2>curse your therapist sending you reference materials between sessions.

0:58:11.320 --> 0:58:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Gift therapists can'ts not thinking about you. You're on their mind,

0:58:13.920 --> 0:58:17.400
<v Speaker 3>favorite client? What are you doing? You have their clients,

0:58:17.560 --> 0:58:19.560
<v Speaker 3>you're busy. Why are you thinking about me? Are you

0:58:19.640 --> 0:58:20.200
<v Speaker 3>talking about me?

0:58:20.240 --> 0:58:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Who?

0:58:20.400 --> 0:58:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Are you talking about me too, Gift?

0:58:25.120 --> 0:58:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh Vic.

0:58:27.840 --> 0:58:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Wrong, No, I'm right on that one, and I feel

0:58:30.240 --> 0:58:30.720
<v Speaker 3>good about it.

0:58:30.800 --> 0:58:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Obsessed with me, get me off of your minds.

0:58:34.000 --> 0:58:37.960
<v Speaker 4>So this is it, same reasoning, different take on it.

0:58:38.240 --> 0:58:39.959
<v Speaker 4>I gotta get half a point for having the same reason.

0:58:40.280 --> 0:58:43.080
<v Speaker 2>No half points here. The therapist is no. Now I'm

0:58:43.120 --> 0:58:46.400
<v Speaker 2>thinking about the therapists and we're in the sessions together

0:58:46.440 --> 0:58:48.880
<v Speaker 2>thinking are they thinking about me even more? Now? The

0:58:49.000 --> 0:58:52.400
<v Speaker 2>romance is there, the spark, the tension. It's a nightmare.

0:58:52.800 --> 0:58:55.200
<v Speaker 4>I spent my first two years in therapy trying to

0:58:55.240 --> 0:58:57.919
<v Speaker 4>be my therapist's favorite. I would say that was really

0:58:57.960 --> 0:58:59.160
<v Speaker 4>important to me about the therapy.

0:58:59.360 --> 0:59:01.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a a good goal for therapy.

0:59:01.960 --> 0:59:04.240
<v Speaker 4>I genuinely think, yeah, I think it is the kind

0:59:04.240 --> 0:59:05.560
<v Speaker 4>of thing of like if you need that to get

0:59:05.600 --> 0:59:07.000
<v Speaker 4>into therapy, if you need a gold star in a

0:59:07.040 --> 0:59:09.160
<v Speaker 4>point system to sort of like get you past the.

0:59:09.200 --> 0:59:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Hump of being like oh no, now, I'm like understanding.

0:59:11.480 --> 0:59:15.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm seeing a frown form Maneles, and it's pretty cool.

0:59:15.760 --> 0:59:18.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty good. Actually, I'm I'm agreeing.

0:59:19.160 --> 0:59:21.480
<v Speaker 2>You go in there and just present whatever self the

0:59:21.480 --> 0:59:24.520
<v Speaker 2>therapist needs, yes to like you.

0:59:24.600 --> 0:59:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I'm like you seem like you need a

0:59:26.400 --> 0:59:29.160
<v Speaker 4>sad patient today. You seem like you need to feel

0:59:29.160 --> 0:59:30.720
<v Speaker 4>better about the job that you're doing. You seem like

0:59:30.760 --> 0:59:33.040
<v Speaker 4>you need a big hero's arc for yourself. And I

0:59:33.080 --> 0:59:37.160
<v Speaker 4>am prepared to give that to you myself, and like,

0:59:37.200 --> 0:59:39.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, my dad and stuff like that, and I

0:59:39.400 --> 0:59:39.840
<v Speaker 4>feel like.

0:59:39.800 --> 0:59:42.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, we we got to it. We get to it.

0:59:42.600 --> 0:59:44.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a better person for it, but I.

0:59:44.200 --> 0:59:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Needed that roll around to it eventually. Yeah, and then

0:59:47.240 --> 0:59:48.000
<v Speaker 2>you have something else to.

0:59:48.000 --> 0:59:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Talk about, you said earlier, a sexual tension of spark.

0:59:51.560 --> 0:59:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, the seduction, the temptation to seduce. And then

0:59:56.960 --> 1:00:00.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, you're getting these materials in the middle of

1:00:00.120 --> 1:00:04.520
<v Speaker 2>the night and you're thinking about whatever their therapist's name is,

1:00:04.600 --> 1:00:08.160
<v Speaker 2>and you get a text from them. Your partner's starting

1:00:08.160 --> 1:00:09.200
<v Speaker 2>to wonder.

1:00:09.640 --> 1:00:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Who are telling what's going on?

1:00:10.920 --> 1:00:14.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's all fun, It's all so much fun,

1:00:14.320 --> 1:00:15.200
<v Speaker 2>but it's too much.

1:00:15.600 --> 1:00:19.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I also exclusively love my therapist to be like

1:00:19.880 --> 1:00:22.960
<v Speaker 4>my my first therapist. I don't think this is doxing anybody.

1:00:23.160 --> 1:00:24.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna put that out there. I don't think this

1:00:24.480 --> 1:00:27.280
<v Speaker 4>is doxing anybody, like really like Emma Thompson vibes in

1:00:27.320 --> 1:00:28.760
<v Speaker 4>a way that just was a little too.

1:00:28.720 --> 1:00:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Much for me.

1:00:29.560 --> 1:00:32.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh interesting, immediate, like my exact type winning approval, just

1:00:32.760 --> 1:00:35.400
<v Speaker 4>like a little bit of an older woman who had

1:00:35.400 --> 1:00:37.280
<v Speaker 4>a lot of thoughts about what I was doing, you.

1:00:37.240 --> 1:00:37.840
<v Speaker 3>Know what I mean?

1:00:39.600 --> 1:00:42.240
<v Speaker 2>And wait, you're still seeing this therapist or not? No, no, no, no,

1:00:42.120 --> 1:00:42.560
<v Speaker 2>no no.

1:00:42.960 --> 1:00:45.480
<v Speaker 4>We had to part ways yep, right because it got

1:00:45.480 --> 1:00:46.600
<v Speaker 4>to the point where I was like, oh, I do

1:00:46.840 --> 1:00:48.400
<v Speaker 4>I do think I need this and I want this

1:00:48.440 --> 1:00:50.600
<v Speaker 4>in a way that is, but now we've created a

1:00:50.680 --> 1:00:53.600
<v Speaker 4>rapport of like me sort of giving this person what

1:00:53.640 --> 1:00:55.840
<v Speaker 4>they want and like feeling superior, and it just was

1:00:55.840 --> 1:00:57.360
<v Speaker 4>like a thing of like there was it was hard

1:00:57.360 --> 1:00:59.320
<v Speaker 4>to I needed a fresh start. I needed The therapist

1:00:59.600 --> 1:01:02.600
<v Speaker 4>was going on, yeah.

1:01:01.680 --> 1:01:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Well you've got two out of three.

1:01:03.280 --> 1:01:04.120
<v Speaker 3>I feel good about that.

1:01:04.120 --> 1:01:05.840
<v Speaker 2>That's not about well, it's tough than when you look

1:01:05.840 --> 1:01:06.040
<v Speaker 2>at that.

1:01:06.040 --> 1:01:07.160
<v Speaker 3>That's a seventy five.

1:01:07.000 --> 1:01:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Percent to sixty six. That's sixty which is you know

1:01:13.400 --> 1:01:18.680

1:01:23.680 --> 1:01:24.760
<v Speaker 4>people are getting three out of three?

<v Speaker 6>I'm just saying there are still fewer people who've lost

1:01:40.600 --> 1:01:44.479
<v Speaker 6>it completely. Wow. Really yeah, Like there's twelve people who've

1:01:44.480 --> 1:01:47.560
<v Speaker 6>won it, and there's only five who've lost.

<v Speaker 3>for a win.

1:02:10.840 --> 1:02:12.880
<v Speaker 4>When you said like a small, small group, I really

1:02:12.880 --> 1:02:14.440
<v Speaker 4>but I mean over the course of two hundred episodes,

1:02:14.440 --> 1:02:19.240
<v Speaker 4>short small percentage. But I really was thinking like like three.

1:02:18.960 --> 1:02:21.200
<v Speaker 3>People, three people, but yeah, twelve people. Know you want

1:02:21.200 --> 1:02:22.360

<v Speaker 2>come back prepared to lose if you want.

1:02:29.040 --> 1:02:31.680
<v Speaker 4>I honestly maybe because I feel like, here's the thing.

1:02:31.720 --> 1:02:33.160
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I get you. I feel like I

1:02:33.240 --> 1:02:34.720
<v Speaker 4>understand you as a person.

1:02:35.680 --> 1:02:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, you did a lot of research.

1:02:38.520 --> 1:02:40.320
<v Speaker 4>I sort of have seen where you were and i've

1:02:40.600 --> 1:02:42.280
<v Speaker 4>and I met your energy here again, like that was

1:02:42.280 --> 1:02:44.160
<v Speaker 4>the big missing piece for me, was like what was

1:02:44.160 --> 1:02:46.200
<v Speaker 4>the vibe and the energy in the room. And I

1:02:46.200 --> 1:02:49.440
<v Speaker 4>feel like, again, I've done copious amounts of research to

1:02:49.560 --> 1:02:51.720
<v Speaker 4>get to here and in this seat right now. So

1:02:51.800 --> 1:02:53.160
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I get it and so like, And

1:02:53.240 --> 1:02:56.439
<v Speaker 4>I think was proven by the one question of yours

1:02:56.440 --> 1:02:58.280
<v Speaker 4>I got correct and the one listener question that.

1:02:58.240 --> 1:02:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I got correct. Yes, yes.

1:03:00.280 --> 1:03:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Did the listener decide how they felt about it or

1:03:02.400 --> 1:03:03.680
<v Speaker 3>were you The listener does not.

1:03:03.640 --> 1:03:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Say, they just present, I think, then allow the podcast

1:03:07.360 --> 1:03:08.880
<v Speaker 2>to reveal the true answer. Yeah.

1:03:08.960 --> 1:03:10.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, But I feel like I see I see pieces

1:03:11.000 --> 1:03:12.960
<v Speaker 4>of myself and you also, you know what I mean.

1:03:13.000 --> 1:03:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Like it's I feel like I am. It's a it's

1:03:15.640 --> 1:03:16.960
<v Speaker 3>a mayror, maybe a foggy mare.

1:03:18.480 --> 1:03:20.280
<v Speaker 4>Somebody's in the way because they've taken a photo and

1:03:20.320 --> 1:03:22.600
<v Speaker 4>they've also appeared in the mirror right right.

1:03:23.400 --> 1:03:29.520
<v Speaker 2>It's a it's a brother, sister, you know, cousin, yes, close,

1:03:29.680 --> 1:03:32.080
<v Speaker 2>co worker, yes, these are the relationships.

1:03:32.160 --> 1:03:33.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but then there's still something where it's like, oh,

1:03:33.960 --> 1:03:35.160
<v Speaker 4>I knew that, but it wasn't quite.

1:03:35.000 --> 1:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Right exactly, you know what I mean, There wasn't there

1:03:37.280 --> 1:03:38.440
<v Speaker 2>was something not quite right.

1:03:38.360 --> 1:03:41.760
<v Speaker 3>Not quite right. I'd been had off putting, I've been had.

1:03:42.680 --> 1:03:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this is the final segment of the podcast. It's

1:03:45.160 --> 1:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>called I said no emails people write into I said

1:03:48.120 --> 1:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>no gifts at gmail dot com. Great, desperate for answers? Yeah,

1:03:52.120 --> 1:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>will you help me answer a question?

1:03:53.400 --> 1:03:53.480
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

1:03:53.520 --> 1:03:54.440
<v Speaker 3>I would really love to.

1:03:54.720 --> 1:03:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's get in here. Okay, this is this feels

1:03:58.480 --> 1:04:02.040
<v Speaker 2>like kind of a leftover from the holidays, but who cares.

1:04:02.320 --> 1:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Holidays are always right around the corner. Absolutely, this is

1:04:05.600 --> 1:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Hello Bridger and angelic guest.

1:04:07.720 --> 1:04:10.000
<v Speaker 3>That's really kind and I feel inaccurate.

1:04:11.440 --> 1:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I agree. How do I ask my fairly

1:04:14.680 --> 1:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>large family to transition to a secret sand to type

1:04:18.120 --> 1:04:21.320
<v Speaker 2>gift exchange instead of each person getting every single person

1:04:21.320 --> 1:04:25.440
<v Speaker 2>a fifty dollars gift barrier? Passive aggression and judgment are

1:04:25.440 --> 1:04:28.520
<v Speaker 2>their preferred ways of communication. Ps. I wanted to let

1:04:28.520 --> 1:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>you know that you have genuinely saved me from myself

1:04:32.080 --> 1:04:34.680
<v Speaker 2>many times over with your podcast. Please never sup. Well

1:04:34.720 --> 1:04:35.760
<v Speaker 2>that's a nice.

1:04:35.440 --> 1:04:37.680
<v Speaker 3>That's very nice. And now I feel like we need

1:04:37.680 --> 1:04:38.400
<v Speaker 3>to give good advice.

1:04:38.440 --> 1:04:41.280
<v Speaker 2>I know this says I love you too. Meg. Well

1:04:41.440 --> 1:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what sort of advice Meg gets.

1:04:43.240 --> 1:04:45.240
<v Speaker 4>Do you have anything to say to Meg back about

1:04:45.240 --> 1:04:46.440
<v Speaker 4>that or just that it was nice?

1:04:46.640 --> 1:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I will get into what I have to say

1:04:48.920 --> 1:04:52.880
<v Speaker 2>to Meg as we discuss this little piece of advice

1:04:52.960 --> 1:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>they need.

1:04:53.640 --> 1:04:54.120
<v Speaker 3>I love that.

1:04:54.600 --> 1:04:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So Meg has hundreds of family members, Yeah, an army.

1:04:58.080 --> 1:04:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Do you the big family?

1:04:59.400 --> 1:05:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Do you?

1:05:04.720 --> 1:05:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? You have two siblings.

1:05:07.120 --> 1:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I have three.

1:05:07.800 --> 1:05:09.560
<v Speaker 3>You have three siblings. That is what I said.

1:05:09.920 --> 1:05:12.800
<v Speaker 2>But you can assume with a Mormon the family will

1:05:12.840 --> 1:05:15.880
<v Speaker 2>be at least compared to the average larger than.

1:05:16.080 --> 1:05:17.960
<v Speaker 4>So the photo that I saw was the one where

1:05:17.960 --> 1:05:19.920
<v Speaker 4>your mom you pushed it on Twitter. Your mom was

1:05:19.960 --> 1:05:23.400
<v Speaker 4>covering her face, sent you a family photo, and there

1:05:23.400 --> 1:05:25.800
<v Speaker 4>were only three of three kids in that photo.

1:05:26.000 --> 1:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>There are four kids in that photo.

1:05:27.160 --> 1:05:28.280
<v Speaker 3>There's four kids in that photo.

1:05:28.280 --> 1:05:31.520
<v Speaker 2>You got one of my siblings.

1:05:31.560 --> 1:05:32.600
<v Speaker 3>So here's what I'll say.

1:05:32.920 --> 1:05:35.080
<v Speaker 4>Much like how I look at words and I see

1:05:35.120 --> 1:05:36.640
<v Speaker 4>what I want to see, I look at photos and

1:05:36.640 --> 1:05:38.040
<v Speaker 4>I see what I want to see. I said, this

1:05:38.120 --> 1:05:40.640
<v Speaker 4>is a three sibling family, and I saw three kids

1:05:40.640 --> 1:05:41.200
<v Speaker 4>in that photos.

1:05:41.240 --> 1:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>This is where you were revealed that you have not

1:05:42.560 --> 1:05:44.680
<v Speaker 2>been able to see me this entire time.

1:05:45.120 --> 1:05:47.880
<v Speaker 4>You look exactly like me, long brown hair, and by

1:05:47.880 --> 1:05:50.040
<v Speaker 4>long I mean sort of a mid length brown hair,

1:05:51.040 --> 1:05:51.640
<v Speaker 4>blue sweater.

1:05:53.720 --> 1:05:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, large family, you have a large family. Yeah, got

1:05:56.760 --> 1:05:57.360
<v Speaker 2>a large family.

1:05:57.400 --> 1:05:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Do you really know you're not Meg?

1:05:58.920 --> 1:06:01.960
<v Speaker 4>What am I saying on Alice? You don't have a

1:06:02.040 --> 1:06:04.040
<v Speaker 4>large fan, Alice, We've been talking this entire time. I've

1:06:04.080 --> 1:06:06.360
<v Speaker 4>been forcing you to get on Mike to answer questions.

1:06:06.680 --> 1:06:09.280
<v Speaker 6>You know what, I feel way too perceived today and

1:06:09.480 --> 1:06:13.920
<v Speaker 6>I'm really sorry, really uncomfortable, and I might need to leave.

1:06:15.800 --> 1:06:16.440
<v Speaker 3>This was the straw.

1:06:16.520 --> 1:06:19.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm so sorry.

1:06:21.400 --> 1:06:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Large families, secret Santas.

1:06:22.960 --> 1:06:24.600
<v Speaker 3>I think this was your fault. I'm so sorry to say.

1:06:24.600 --> 1:06:26.720
<v Speaker 3>You looked right in on Elise's eyes and said Meg

1:06:26.840 --> 1:06:27.240
<v Speaker 3>said this.

1:06:27.880 --> 1:06:30.360
<v Speaker 2>I gestured to the world and.

1:06:30.240 --> 1:06:32.920
<v Speaker 4>Here was me trying and what you were saying. And

1:06:32.960 --> 1:06:35.240
<v Speaker 4>so I also made eye contact with Onalise.

1:06:35.600 --> 1:06:39.400
<v Speaker 2>And now a neighbor's dog is joining the conversation. Things

1:06:39.480 --> 1:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>have gotten out of control, and Meg is sitting there

1:06:42.160 --> 1:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>just on the edge of their seat.

1:06:43.360 --> 1:06:44.640
<v Speaker 3>How do I fix this? How do I Fiel this,

1:06:46.360 --> 1:06:47.760
<v Speaker 3>do you do a Secret Sanda or anything like that?

1:06:47.760 --> 1:06:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Do you have any advice on how to fix this?

1:06:49.840 --> 1:06:52.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, this is ah. I had a workplace where

1:06:52.440 --> 1:06:55.800
<v Speaker 2>we had a Secret Santa, but uh, they called it that,

1:06:55.840 --> 1:06:57.680
<v Speaker 2>But then everyone also had to get everyone a gift

1:06:57.680 --> 1:06:59.240
<v Speaker 2>and it was the most maddening thing in the world.

1:06:59.280 --> 1:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>For me. It was like, well, let's just call it

1:07:01.400 --> 1:07:04.440
<v Speaker 2>nothing because now I'm like, I still have to spend

1:07:04.440 --> 1:07:06.560
<v Speaker 2>all of this money on everyone when the idea of

1:07:06.600 --> 1:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Secret Santa is to kind of narrow it down. And

1:07:09.720 --> 1:07:12.560
<v Speaker 2>I never made a fuss. I'd just let it kind

1:07:12.560 --> 1:07:16.280
<v Speaker 2>of ruin me financially. Sure, So this sort of thing,

1:07:16.440 --> 1:07:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I think what Meg needs to do. Meg's got to

1:07:19.000 --> 1:07:22.080
<v Speaker 2>make it look like their life is hanging by a thread.

1:07:22.360 --> 1:07:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, they can't handle getting this money gifts anymore.

1:07:25.960 --> 1:07:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Kind of but through ways where the family notices and

1:07:28.760 --> 1:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Meg doesn't say outright, you know, you go out to

1:07:31.680 --> 1:07:35.280
<v Speaker 2>dinner with a dummy credit card offer to pay for everyone.

1:07:35.680 --> 1:07:37.880
<v Speaker 2>The card gets declined in front of the whole family.

1:07:38.000 --> 1:07:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Now they're thinking, what's happening with Meg? Maybe this is

1:07:40.960 --> 1:07:44.400
<v Speaker 2>like right around Thanksgiving time, so now they're really.

1:07:44.480 --> 1:07:47.080
<v Speaker 4>Camping it see I'm thinking this is happening the year before.

1:07:47.120 --> 1:07:49.080
<v Speaker 4>You still got to suffer through on Christmas. But maybe

1:07:49.080 --> 1:07:52.920
<v Speaker 4>like you get the same gift twice for two people,

1:07:52.920 --> 1:07:54.680
<v Speaker 4>like you give somebody two. Tis a sort of a

1:07:54.680 --> 1:07:56.680
<v Speaker 4>thing of like I don't know where this came from,

1:07:56.720 --> 1:07:59.040
<v Speaker 4>like a real like have you seen the nineteen forty

1:07:59.080 --> 1:07:59.640
<v Speaker 4>eight gas light?

1:07:59.720 --> 1:08:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Like the original one?

1:08:00.560 --> 1:08:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen it.

1:08:01.560 --> 1:08:02.360
<v Speaker 3>So it's like she.

1:08:02.440 --> 1:08:05.480
<v Speaker 4>Is both ingrid Bergman who is being gas lit, but

1:08:05.520 --> 1:08:07.600
<v Speaker 4>also doing the gas lighting, you know what I mean.

1:08:07.640 --> 1:08:09.640
<v Speaker 4>It's sort of like a reverse I doesn't know that

1:08:09.880 --> 1:08:13.680
<v Speaker 4>a dirty rotten scoundrels meets spoiler alert.

1:08:14.920 --> 1:08:15.720
<v Speaker 3>Meets gaslight.

1:08:16.120 --> 1:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, right, right, So a similar gift to two.

1:08:18.840 --> 1:08:21.200
<v Speaker 3>People that or two gifts for one person.

1:08:21.800 --> 1:08:23.880
<v Speaker 4>Maybe forget one person and you give one person two

1:08:23.880 --> 1:08:25.240
<v Speaker 4>gifts and you're just like, I don't know.

1:08:25.200 --> 1:08:26.080
<v Speaker 3>What happened.

1:08:28.360 --> 1:08:28.519
<v Speaker 1>Here?

1:08:28.720 --> 1:08:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Is very good? I mean, and you have to do

1:08:31.200 --> 1:08:32.800
<v Speaker 2>that two years in a row, I think just one year.

1:08:33.040 --> 1:08:35.360
<v Speaker 4>So, like you said, you start this off Thanksgiving, let's

1:08:35.360 --> 1:08:39.040
<v Speaker 4>say twenty twenty four, lay the groundwork. We're then falling

1:08:39.040 --> 1:08:42.080
<v Speaker 4>apart by Christmas. We can then sort of maybe foreclose

1:08:42.160 --> 1:08:44.080
<v Speaker 4>on our apartment the year after that.

1:08:45.439 --> 1:08:49.280
<v Speaker 2>It's a slow, long game, but eventually the family will

1:08:49.280 --> 1:08:51.320
<v Speaker 2>have finally settled on we can't keep doing this to

1:08:51.360 --> 1:08:55.280
<v Speaker 2>each other, truly, may Yes, and we can't let what

1:08:55.320 --> 1:08:58.240
<v Speaker 2>happened to Meg happen to us. Yes, because they are

1:08:58.280 --> 1:09:01.200
<v Speaker 2>passive aggressive, Yeah, and they're judgy.

1:09:01.720 --> 1:09:04.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So my family does do a secret Sannah. And

1:09:04.760 --> 1:09:07.839
<v Speaker 3>are you the oldest? I knew that third it's.

1:09:10.240 --> 1:09:13.360
<v Speaker 4>I am, so I am the oldest, and so you

1:09:13.439 --> 1:09:15.200
<v Speaker 4>have sort of a gift in that power position. But

1:09:15.200 --> 1:09:16.840
<v Speaker 4>I think really any sibling could do it. It just

1:09:16.840 --> 1:09:19.559
<v Speaker 4>takes emailing and going hey, guys, so I've decided we're

1:09:19.560 --> 1:09:21.400
<v Speaker 4>doing a secret Sanna this year. It is maybe a

1:09:21.439 --> 1:09:23.920
<v Speaker 4>little direct, but also you could just sort of be

1:09:23.960 --> 1:09:25.679
<v Speaker 4>like you guys do whatever you want for each other.

1:09:25.800 --> 1:09:27.920
<v Speaker 4>But like I'm doing secret Sannah. I'm setting it up

1:09:27.960 --> 1:09:29.639
<v Speaker 4>if you want to partake, right, But like I'm getting

1:09:29.640 --> 1:09:31.519
<v Speaker 4>one gift for one person, and so then if they

1:09:31.560 --> 1:09:33.840
<v Speaker 4>don't want to participate, then one person is just getting

1:09:34.200 --> 1:09:35.799
<v Speaker 4>sort of, as mentioned earlier, an extra.

1:09:35.640 --> 1:09:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Gift, right.

1:09:37.000 --> 1:09:39.799
<v Speaker 4>I think so this is sort of my patented aggressive aggressive,

1:09:40.120 --> 1:09:42.040
<v Speaker 4>which I think maybe is something that Meg can look

1:09:42.080 --> 1:09:43.160
<v Speaker 4>to transitioning into.

1:09:44.040 --> 1:09:45.880
<v Speaker 2>And it like kind of casts a light on the

1:09:45.880 --> 1:09:48.880
<v Speaker 2>rest of the family if they don't participate as kill joyce,

1:09:49.000 --> 1:09:50.839
<v Speaker 2>they don't want to be part of the game. Yes,

1:09:50.920 --> 1:09:54.760
<v Speaker 2>it's not really a game, it's a solution, but you

1:09:55.479 --> 1:09:56.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of say it's a game.

1:09:57.040 --> 1:09:58.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Well, it's sort of like you mentioned earlier and

1:09:58.680 --> 1:10:01.080
<v Speaker 4>sort of as we were talking about an ability to

1:10:01.120 --> 1:10:03.960
<v Speaker 4>win and what Secret Sanda does is it really does

1:10:04.000 --> 1:10:07.120
<v Speaker 4>every year march up on like who went over the

1:10:07.160 --> 1:10:08.360
<v Speaker 4>limit even though we said we weren't going to go

1:10:08.400 --> 1:10:11.840
<v Speaker 4>over the limit, who gave the most thoughtful gift of

1:10:11.920 --> 1:10:13.320
<v Speaker 4>the year, And then you can just sort of stew

1:10:13.320 --> 1:10:15.040
<v Speaker 4>on it and really think about it. So we do

1:10:15.120 --> 1:10:16.719
<v Speaker 4>our Secret Sandah draw in now.

1:10:16.720 --> 1:10:19.680
<v Speaker 2>July because we need all the pressure.

1:10:19.479 --> 1:10:22.280
<v Speaker 4>Time to think about it. My brothers lose every single year.

1:10:22.280 --> 1:10:24.240
<v Speaker 4>That's fine, it's not for them. We're not playing for them.

1:10:24.400 --> 1:10:27.680
<v Speaker 4>So it's kind of a shame whoever they get, and

1:10:27.680 --> 1:10:30.440
<v Speaker 4>it's sort of a shame the year that sounds terrible,

1:10:30.800 --> 1:10:32.919
<v Speaker 4>one of us end up getting one of my brothers

1:10:33.439 --> 1:10:35.400
<v Speaker 4>because they'll just you send them an Amazon.

1:10:35.080 --> 1:10:37.559
<v Speaker 3>Link and they will order that off of Amazon.

1:10:38.360 --> 1:10:42.839
<v Speaker 4>Maybe maybe Usually it's a picture of whatever they're planning

1:10:42.840 --> 1:10:45.479
<v Speaker 4>on getting you that will arrive sometime around the draw

1:10:45.640 --> 1:10:46.160
<v Speaker 4>in July.

1:10:46.960 --> 1:10:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Wow, that's a mess. That's it. I think you

1:10:50.280 --> 1:10:52.479
<v Speaker 2>should stop playing that. Do you think I don't like?

1:10:52.760 --> 1:10:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean that just makes me tinse. Well, it's the.

1:10:55.360 --> 1:10:57.240
<v Speaker 3>Game that keeps on giving because I do win every year.

1:10:59.280 --> 1:11:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, support you, fully, support you. Meg. What do

1:11:02.320 --> 1:11:04.360
<v Speaker 2>you think of all of this advice? How are we doing?

1:11:04.560 --> 1:11:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I think we gave Meg some advice that should save Christmas.

1:11:09.640 --> 1:11:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Do you think Yeah? I think so too.

1:11:11.720 --> 1:11:13.800
<v Speaker 2>You said something in there that feels like Meg is

1:11:13.800 --> 1:11:18.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna like either the exchange will happen or the family

1:11:18.200 --> 1:11:20.320
<v Speaker 2>will be torn apart. Either way, it's a solution.

1:11:20.479 --> 1:11:21.000
<v Speaker 3>It's a solution.

1:11:21.080 --> 1:11:22.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And then you know where you stand, which is

1:11:22.520 --> 1:11:23.960
<v Speaker 4>all you can ask at the end of the day.

1:11:24.160 --> 1:11:25.639
<v Speaker 3>It is that idea that sort of going back.

1:11:25.479 --> 1:11:27.439
<v Speaker 4>To scary movies, when you name the demon, the demon

1:11:27.439 --> 1:11:28.920
<v Speaker 4>doesn't have any powering exactly.

1:11:28.920 --> 1:11:29.519
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean.

1:11:29.640 --> 1:11:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Meg's family is demons. Meg's family is demon family of demons.

1:11:33.040 --> 1:11:35.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you can finally admit that to yourself. It's

1:11:35.800 --> 1:11:37.240
<v Speaker 4>then finally your freed from it.

1:11:37.960 --> 1:11:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful Meg, you have your advice. Get to work, Get

1:11:42.000 --> 1:11:45.880
<v Speaker 2>to work on destroying your family. I love that, Vic.

1:11:45.960 --> 1:11:47.519
<v Speaker 2>I've had such a wonderful time with you, Richard.

1:11:47.560 --> 1:11:50.240

<v Speaker 2>make people wonder.

1:11:55.960 --> 1:11:57.840
<v Speaker 4>I was so worried coming into this that this was

1:11:57.840 --> 1:12:00.240
<v Speaker 4>going to be too much, and boy, if it as

1:12:00.240 --> 1:12:03.479
<v Speaker 4>you didn't make me feel like that, and I appreciate it.

1:12:03.560 --> 1:12:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine this was it was either this or

1:12:05.960 --> 1:12:07.240
<v Speaker 2>a roll of duct tape.

1:12:07.080 --> 1:12:09.880

<v Speaker 2>I love you, goodbye, I said no Gifts is an

1:12:46.040 --> 1:12:49.880
<v Speaker 2>exactly right production. It's produced by our dear friend Analise

1:12:49.960 --> 1:12:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Nelson and It's beautifully mixed by Ben Holliday and we

1:12:53.200 --> 1:12:56.800
<v Speaker 2>couldn't do it without our guest booker, Patrick Kottner. The

1:12:56.800 --> 1:13:00.880
<v Speaker 2>theme song, of course, could only come from miracle worker

1:13:00.960 --> 1:13:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Amy Man. You must follow the show on Instagram. At

1:13:04.760 --> 1:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>I said, no gifts. I don't want to hear any excuses.

1:13:07.400 --> 1:13:09.160
<v Speaker 2>That's where you get to see pictures of all these

1:13:09.200 --> 1:13:11.280
<v Speaker 2>gorgeous gifts I'm getting. And don't you want to see

1:13:11.320 --> 1:13:12.240
<v Speaker 2>pictures of the gifts?

1:13:14.160 --> 1:13:19.839
<v Speaker 1>And I invited you hear I thought I made myself

1:13:20.040 --> 1:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you

1:13:26.840 --> 1:13:32.679
<v Speaker 1>gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests,

1:13:32.960 --> 1:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you're our presences. Presents enough. I already had too much stuff,

1:13:40.560 --> 1:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>So how do you dare to survey me
