Speaker 1: Well, I invited you. Hear, I thought, I made myself

2
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: perfectly clear.

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: But you're a guest to my home.

00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: You gotta come to me empty, And I said, no,

00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: guess your own presences presents enough. I already had too

6
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: much stuff, So how did you dare.

7
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 3: To surbey me? Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm

8
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: Richard Wine girl. LA's number one. It girl. We're in

9
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: the backyard and it's not quite night yet. It's the

10
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 3: light is fading. I mean literally and metaphorically that you

11
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: know things are getting dark. But we're going to have

12
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 3: a wonderful time here. Let's see what's happening. I mean,

13
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: last night I went to a restaurant and an outdoor

14
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: seating situation, and while I was eating with a friend,

15
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: I counted at least seven rats scampering scampering through the

16
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: parking lot, which is my number one nightmare. And so

17
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: that's the sort of sleep I'm working on. It was

18
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: obviously a stressful evening at home, but we're looking to

19
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: the neighborhoods stray cats to protect me. I have contacted

20
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: the establishment. I had to. They did not respond. So yeah,

21
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. But I may not be eating

22
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: there again. Unfortunately. Check all of your favorite restaurants for rats.

23
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. They may have a whole farm.

24
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: Let's get into the podcast. I adore today's guest. It's

25
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: Rebecca Delgado Smith. Rebecca. Welcome to I said no gifts, Bridger.

26
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: I couldn't be happier to be here. It's impossible.

27
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: Well, we're going to try to make you happier. I'm

28
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: going to do something. I'm going to offer you some

29
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 3: sort of illicit drug during the podcast. We're going to

30
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: try to just blow your mind.

31
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I've never done drugs.

32
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: Any drugs, So this is the perfect night for you

33
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 3: to do heroin. They call heroin kind of a gateway drug.

34
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: You know, that's the one you start with. Well that's

35
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: easy then, yeah, I'll go get a spoon, I'll get

36
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 3: a needle, and uh, we'll get you in a new

37
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: state of mind.

38
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. That should be really chill and relaxing.

39
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: Absolute.

40
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: I'm sure I'm a very late back user.

41
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you do have to be a

42
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 3: laid back drug user once you're on heroin. I don't

43
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 3: know that there's any other state of mind. And I'm

44
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: not speaking from experience. What if we found out now

45
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: that I'm just a real Heroin user, that would be

46
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: such a turn for the podcast. Maybe maybe one day

47
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: we can always aspire. Okay, I have said that I

48
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: will try Heroin if I make it past one hundred.

49
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 4: Oh well, I have always said that I'll smoke pot

50
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 4: once I'm sixty five and retired.

51
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: That's a great age to start. I mean, whenever, you know.

52
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: I think they say things like teenager shouldn't be, but

53
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: sixty five feels like the right time.

54
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: At that point, we'll know if I have Alzheimer's right,

55
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: dementia should be kicking in, so.

56
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: Cares, just go for it, absolutely, go for it. And

57
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: then you'll be so laid back and you're golfing, you're

58
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: pruning the bushes. Yes you're high, out of your mind.

59
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: Yes you can't remember. Anything can go wrong. How are

60
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: you doing?

61
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: I'm doing so well, and I really am thinking about

62
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 4: you and your I'm just glad I can be here

63
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: in your time of need. I mean that that story

64
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: about rats, and I'm assuming it's a fame, like a

65
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: favorite restaurant.

66
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: I hope, Yeah, I think we could. I mean, I don't,

67
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: I don't want to get into the habit of beeping

68
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: everything I say on this podcast. We recently beep something,

69
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: but I'll tell you and then we'll keep it because

70
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 3: I don't want to harm. It's harm. Of course, it's

71
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: called it's a place in Silver Leg and let's beep

72
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: even the type of food. My apology to the listener.

73
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: You'll have to find out about the rats yourself. Firsthand.

74
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: I cannot harm a small business.

75
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: But but I'm glad you alerted me.

76
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: Well, you need to appreciate it. I told on a

77
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: least that I might tell them depending on their behavior tonight,

78
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: and so now they know. Okay, I've been very good

79
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: so far. But yeah, so it was. It was. The

80
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: whole evening was ruined. I was sitting there my feet

81
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 3: up because we were eating. We couldn't leave. And once

82
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: I begin eating, I will finish, regardless of the circumstances.

83
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 3: And so I saw one rat, thought maybe that's the

84
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 3: end of it. And then they just kept going, just

85
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: running in every direction. One came over under the tables,

86
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: and that I mean, it's just I'm telling you my

87
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: number one.

88
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: It was a family. It was a small town.

89
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 3: It was a small town. Yeah, it really was, and yeah,

90
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what. I feel like they may have

91
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: been gathering food from the next door restaurant because I

92
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 3: didn't see any of these ones coming out of this place.

93
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: I'm also starting to wonder the word restaurant, am am

94
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: I using? I mean, there aren't a lot of I

95
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: like when I'm eating at this type of place. When

96
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: I say restaurant, you kind of think, oh, waiters, I

97
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: think I'm being seated at a table. But this is

98
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: also a restaurant. Okay, right.

99
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: Now, you've lost it.

100
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: It's a small you know, it's like a oh and

101
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: again we'll have to beep out even the description of

102
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: bought it is. I don't want to give any clues.

103
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 3: If you see a swarm of rats, you'll know which

104
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 3: place I was talking about.

105
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 4: Now, But don't you think that rats are everywhere we eat?

106
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: I can't live in that reality.

107
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: Yes, you couldn't live in my brain. Not for one.

108
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: You're just constantly thinking about where rats could be. Yes, yes,

109
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: but no, the I mean the question I'm trying to

110
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: get at is can I call that a restaurant?

111
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: Okay?

112
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 3: Or is that crazy? I mean, it's just this very small,

113
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: no weight service, but there is food being cooked and

114
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: served to me and tables where I eat it.

115
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 4: I think anywhere that where you're being served food, whether

116
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 4: it's through a window or whether someone comes out with

117
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 4: a with a tray yes and puts it on your table, right,

118
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 4: I think that is technically a restaurant.

119
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: It's not someone's house.

120
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is technically a restaurant. I just feel like

121
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: it's too big of a word for this type of

122
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: I mean, there are annoying words eatery.

123
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: Uh, like a food service.

124
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: What if I started telling people I went out to

125
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: a food service last night. Now we've had in the

126
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: other direction too far. Oh, the English language is too small,

127
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: We've got and they need to think of another non

128
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: embarrassing word that describes what I ate at that is

129
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: like essentially a restaurant junior.

130
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I will say, I'm trying to think if

131
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: there's a word in Spanish.

132
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: Oh that it observes right.

133
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: Oh.

134
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: Interesting, Well, in Porto Rican I don't know if this

135
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: is Spanish word, but in Puerto Rico there are things

136
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: called chinchotos okay, which are kind of like off the

137
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: side of the road, okay, and you can usually get

138
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: like a drink right, and a fried piece of yellow something, oh,

139
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: fried piece of food.

140
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: Some sort of fish or chicken or it's.

141
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 4: Usually plantain based or you they you know, like and

142
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 4: maybe like a little meat inside.

143
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: Very tiny accidentally get meat any.

144
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're chicken wood and fish.

145
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: Would be part of it.

146
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: What is the word children?

147
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: Okay, how do you spell that? C H I N

148
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,239
Speaker 3: c h O R O okay, chinchio.

149
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: It might be missing an R in there can't.

150
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: I mean when in my mind a non Spanish speaker's mind.

151
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: So I'm the expert at that, I imagine two rs kind.

152
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: Of it might be a yeah, yeah, it might be

153
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:48,599
Speaker 2: a double R.

154
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that comes closer. Huh uh huh More.

155
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 4: You're kind of like stopping at the side of the road.

156
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 4: There might not even be a table, right, so you're

157
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 4: standing Maybe you're like standing in the casual I.

158
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: Mean there are Let's let's be honest. Let's just lay

159
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: out some of these words. Fast casual restaurant, which I

160
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 3: will never say in a million years, bistro that doesn't

161
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: describe it, cafe. No, there is one thing that describes

162
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 3: it that I can't say because then it will give

163
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: away the restaurant.

164
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: Is that gonna also be the.

165
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: This entire conversation is so alarming for the listener.

166
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 3: It's like a weather service report, like a national emergency.

167
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: Just be.

168
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 3: But again, I'm only doing it, yes, to protect a

169
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: small business. Yes, yes, I mean, and I'm being very

170
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: generous here because they didn't respond to my alert.

171
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: Well, they're busy, they're busy killing, they have a wrap problem.

172
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 4: And you know this isn't a big, big establishment, right

173
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 4: right right, They don't have the workforce, and and we want.

174
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 2: To help the little right a little.

175
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I will push back in this particular situation.

176
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: I do think they should be responsible because they they

177
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 3: have this location as well as multiple other locations of

178
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 3: another restaurant. Oh, I know they've got the money. I

179
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: know they've got the time. Something's going. Maybe the rats

180
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: are running the business. That may be the only answer

181
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: to this, because maybe they're just you know, I've only

182
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: give I haven't even given them twenty four hours, so

183
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 3: maybe a couple of days.

184
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: Now. Are you're certain you got the right email or

185
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: the correct I went.

186
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: To the right Instagram?

187
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: Okay, oh Instagram?

188
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I sent a message I considered email that I thought,

00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: does anyone email anymore.

190
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: I think so.

191
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I certainly email, I mean even crazy.

192
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean called me old fashioned, but.

193
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: I feel like restaurants and that sort of thing, they're like,

194
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: we communicate with our customers through horrible social media.

195
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,599
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, you know you think it's also it

196
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 4: might be like their their son or daughter running their.

197
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: Daughters, sons multiple.

198
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 4: Running this Instagram account for for mom and dad or

Speaker 3: You know, modern family, Modern family got it right. So

201
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 3: this family of rats is not responding to my message yet,

202
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: and that's fine because I'm protecting them. I will not

203
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: be returning. Okay, there's some like, how could I return?

204
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: Could I?

205
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: I wouldn't.

206
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't see any universe where I am in

207
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: the right mind and drive over there and eat among

208
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: the rats again.

209
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what this was many many years ago.

210
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 4: I was in New York City. It was an anniversary.

211
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 4: I'm celebrating in an anniversary, okay, And we went to

212
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 4: a restaurant in the city, and it was it was

213
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 4: at a time in my life where when I tell

214
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: you that I was extremely.

215
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 2: Poor, I was more than poor, more.

216
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 3: Than whatever you're thinking, I understand.

217
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 4: So you know, we would do my now husband and

218
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 4: I we would do this thing where we would put

219
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 4: all of our change in a pig piggy bank for.

220
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: An entire year.

221
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: Okay.

222
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 4: I mean that's how sure we were that this relationship

223
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 4: was going to serve good for you.

224
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 3: You bought a piggy bank together. That really sealed the deal.

225
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 4: And then at the end of the year, we would

226
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: take it to the bank and whatever we had saved up, that's.

227
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: How much we would spend on the meal.

228
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: Oh, that's so fun.

229
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: And I believe it must have been like one hundred

230
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 4: and something like one hundred and twenty dollars.

231
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 2: We were dedicated.

232
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: That's a lot of change.

233
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean anything, you know, a buck, I mean,

234
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 4: give me a half dollar.

235
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 3: Oh oh my, got a half dollar? Where's that coming from?

236
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: In there?

237
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: You're doing a legal business. If you have a half dollar,

238
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 3: you actually robbed a bank. That's the only place that

239
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 3: that would come from.

240
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: Well that.

241
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: Okay, So you had one hundred and twenty dollars, yes.

242
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: And we go to this restaurant.

243
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 4: And at the I would say, three quarters into the meal,

244
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 4: a huge cockerroach.

245
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 2: Starts walking right up.

246
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: The wall and parks itself as if it's the third

247
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: party at.

248
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 3: Our table, and what did you do?

249
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: I was so angry because I had saved up here right.

250
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 4: I called up the I waved the server and I said,

251
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 4: look at this.

252
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: Suddenly you're in a mink coat and you've driven there

253
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: in a Rolls Royce.

254
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 4: It's like, I don't usually I'm not this person, but

255
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 4: you're making me be this person?

256
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: And what do you have to say for yourself?

257
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: And what did they say?

258
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: Well, they were very embarrassed, of course, and they every

259
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: the meal was free, Oh my god.

260
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 4: And I left with one hundred dollars gift certificate to

261
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 4: the restaurant.

262
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

263
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: But then it left me with the predicament, do I

264
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 4: return and use this very valuable one hundred dollars?

265
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: What do I do?

266
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: What kind of food was it?

267
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: It was?

268
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 4: I believe it was a Spanish very nice.

269
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, a.

270
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: Lot of good seafood.

271
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 4: I bet it was seafood. It was all nothing that

272
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 4: goes with cockroach.

273
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: Not what a shame? Yes, I mean did so when

274
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 3: they were embarrassed everything, what do they do? They like,

275
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: knock it off the wall? What do you do in that?

276
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: Because you don't just kill it in front of the customers.

277
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: Didn't just slam it.

278
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: Just grab a paper towel.

279
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 3: Pull the napkin off of one of the customer's laps.

280
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 4: I think we quickly got up and left. It was

281
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 4: toward the end of the meal. Oh okay, okay, And

282
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 4: I think that what ended up happening, if I recall,

283
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: was are there, our dessert got sent We went to

284
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 4: the bar, oh okay, and the dessert got sent to

285
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 4: the bar.

286
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: Interesting, and then they kind of we ented the area.

287
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we left the crime scene.

288
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 3: Oh that's I mean for me fully worth it.

289
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, cockroach.

290
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 3: I mean every building in New York literally has a

291
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: car insted. Oh they're everywhere.

292
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

293
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: Had it been a rat, that's a completely different tale.

294
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: I mean I would have raised the building. It would

295
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: have been over. I would be demanding ownership of the

296
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 3: business for a rat to crawl up the wall during

297
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: my one hundred and twenty dollars meal. It's out there screaming.

298
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, but they're having fun having.

299
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: You have them a lot better attitude about this.

300
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: I yeah, I guess I.

301
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: Immediately just want to just shut it down.

302
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: It did sound like children, which could be good or bad?

303
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: That's true. I mean it's after bedtime, kids, it's seven sixteen,

304
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: Get those kids in bed.

305
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: You know where your kids are?

306
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: Do you know it's seven sixteen? Do you know where

307
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: your children are? I've never really had, outside of this

308
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 3: rat experience, a real nuisance at a restaurant.

309
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: You've lived a fortunate life.

310
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 3: I've led such a charmed live. I do remember. I

311
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: feel like once a year there's a New York story

312
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: about like, and the kitchen was infested with rats, Yes,

313
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: and they had to shut it down and then it

314
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: opened a week later. Yes, yes, but now they have

315
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: the rats are which La doesn't have.

316
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: And La the rats are?

317
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: Have you not heard about the rats are? No? She's incredible.

318
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: Is this a New York City personality?

319
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I think she's kind of just become a

320
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: person just by nature of this jobb being so bizarre.

321
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: And she was hired or I don't think she ran

322
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: for rats are? I think she was hired. Although I mean,

323
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: if you want me to get voting, get the rats

324
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 3: are on the ball qualifications. That's a good question. I

325
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 3: think you have to think like a rat. I think

326
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 3: you have to. I mean, politics, topical, every politicians are

327
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: rat My apologies to everybody. No, I think she was

328
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: just hired. She must be some sort of rat expert

329
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: and her job is to just essentially eradicate rats in

330
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 3: New York, get rid of the problem completely. And I

331
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 3: think she's been doing a pretty good job. I think

332
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: that they've significantly reduced the rat population through new I

333
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: don't know, traps, garbage cans that have lids that seal.

334
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 3: You just want to shut down the food Yeah, yeah, yeah,

335
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 3: I think that's the key. I think I would be

336
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: happy if the government took drained all of its funding

337
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: from every program for six months to just take care

338
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 3: of the rat problem in the United States.

339
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 4: Shut down the military, yeah, absolutely, Defenseless schools are shut down. Yes,

340
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 4: I mean any kind of social service.

341
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: Garbage, Yeah, let it pile.

342
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: Up six months. We can we can all suffer through it.

343
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 3: We did COVID. This would be the kind of the

344
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 3: new COVID.

345
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 4: Okay, but you're not thinking straight, because if we shut

346
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: down garbage service, that would be the Yeah, this is impossible.

347
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 4: I know this because of the garbage strike of New

348
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 4: York City.

349
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: Oh did you live through that?

350
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 4: I did not, But I just I researched it recently.

351
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 4: There have been multiple There was a big one, I believe,

352
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 4: I'm I mean, they've just they've been around all the time.

353
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 2: But I'm forgetting when it was.

354
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 3: Let's say, twenty twenty three.

355
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of no, no, no.

356
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 3: You almost went along with I mean, just picking the

357
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: year previous, maybe nineteen, I guess, like nineteen eighty six.

358
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 2: I think there was one in the eighties.

359
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: I know there was one around Christmas time, Okay, And

360
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 4: this was a pivotal one because which Christmas time, Rebecca,

361
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 4: I don't know.

362
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: Once a year, I don't know what yet.

363
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 4: But what's important about is that was right before Christmas

364
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: and Christmas was about to be ruined for so many people.

365
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 3: What a great movie.

366
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: It was disgusting it was. They were living in phils.

367
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: Oh you know, people were fighting outside.

368
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: The rats were taking everyone's gifts. Yes, they had devoured

369
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: Santa Claus alive, Santa Skeleton line in the street. Absolute wasteland.

370
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: There's a happy ending. What because they are the people.

371
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 4: Of New York's of the government in New York City

372
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 4: came together and ended the strike before Christmas.

373
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: It was a true Christmas miracle.

374
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: I was hoping you were going to say, a little

375
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: girl made a wish, asked Santa. That's the movie, Santa

376
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 3: solves the garbage crisis.

377
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: Well, this is what we're gonna we're probably gonna write this.

378
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 3: Tim Allen's looking for his next Santa Claus movie, and

379
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: I think him just gathering garbage off the streets is

380
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: kind of the ultimate.

381
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 4: Tim Allen is going to be the garbage union worker.

382
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 3: You know, he's gonna be Santa and he's just gonna

383
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 3: show up. I think he's actually going to be a scab.

384
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 3: Santa becomes a scab and does all the garbage lifting

385
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: for himself and then actually harms the union. Yes, and

386
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 3: everyone in the process thinking he's doing a good deed.

387
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: But that sets you up for a sequel exactly because

388
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: he hasn't I learned his lesson. Yeah, he put all

389
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 3: these families out of I mean, everyone's starved through Christmas

390
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 3: because of Santa thinking I'll take care of the garbage.

391
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 4: Well, and here was the problem. The garbage was piling

392
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: up so high he couldn't see the numbers for the addresses,

393
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 4: and so this this was directly impacting Santa.

394
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 3: Of course, he couldn't find the children. No, he goes

395
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 3: by street number.

396
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, he has very he's very organized organized.

397
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, they should put street numbers on chimneys if they

398
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: really want, I mean, if we really want to sell

399
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: the Santa fiction.

400
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 4: That's a really good point. In fact, that's another thing

401
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 4: we can sell.

402
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: This is the new giant skeleton at home depot would

403
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: say chimney's street number and maybe a little mailbox that

404
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 3: hooked your chimney.

405
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's such a good idea. It's a picture.

406
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: You're a genius.

407
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: People have said up before, and they'll say it again. Interesting. Well,

408
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: I mean, speaking of gifts and them finding themselves in

409
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: horrible places, is this kind of thing good? Rebecca. I

410
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 3: was really happy to have you here. I thought, Rebecca's

411
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 3: going to come. We'll catch up. Maybe we'll find out

412
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 3: some new things about each other, Maybe we can talk

413
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: to the garbage crisis. Well, you know, these are the

414
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: things that we're going through my mind about my podcast,

415
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 3: I said, no gifts, you received emails. We know each other.

416
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: You are aware I had this podcast. You're also in

417
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: the podcast world, so you're a professional, and I expected

418
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 3: professional behavior. Correct, So I was. I was a little

419
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 3: upset when I saw you kind of trotting up into

420
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: my backyard holding what is clearly a gift for me.

421
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've let you down, haven't I.

422
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: You've let me down. I'm just I will say, I'm disappointed,

423
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: not angry. Okay, I'm seeing oh ah, but the gift

424
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: is beautiful. This is we should start a ranking system

425
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 3: of how well wrapped the gifts.

426
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: Thank you.

427
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: This one's really gorgeous. It's in a kind of a

428
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 3: white and gold wrap with this beautiful orange bow. You

429
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 3: really did it. Do you like wrapping gifts?

430
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 2: I've out done myself.

431
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: You've out done yourself this time. I really love it.

432
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: I mean I do love wrapping gifts.

433
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 4: Okay, I will say I come from a wonderful gift

434
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 4: wrapping family.

435
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 3: Oh it runs in your blood, it does.

436
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 4: Now, they're not good gift givers, but they're wonderful gift wrapped.

437
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 3: So you can set up an incredible expectation. Yes, just

438
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 3: and then just swipe them, I mean knock them off

439
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 3: their feet, just to disappoint them ultimately. Yes, Okay, so

440
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens to me. Okay, should I open

441
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 3: it here on the podcast?

442
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 4: I would love for you to open it. I mean

443
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 4: I do I should say I apologize, okay, thank you,

444
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 4: but uh but I don't see I am smiling, so

445
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 4: I know it doesn't come.

446
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 3: Off an apology. No, you're not an apology. If you

447
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 3: were sorry, you wouldn't have done it.

448
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: That's very true.

449
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 4: And I apologize for my terrible apology on top of

450
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 4: a terrible.

451
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 3: Thing that I've done. The mistakes are mounting. I'm going

452
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 3: to stop you before you really ruin your reputation. Oh

453
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 3: I love this ribbon. It's also you know, like a

454
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: fabric ribbon, which is so rare. I can use. I

455
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 3: can put this in my hair.

456
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: The wrapping is that something you do not that often enough.

457
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: It's a bag. I'll keep it sometimes, I guess will

458
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 3: show up without wrapping, you know, and you know I

459
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: scream and then I say, I can go get you

460
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 3: a bag, and then we put it in an old bag. Yeah,

461
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: I'll definitely repurpose. I mean see that, Oh you can't

462
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 3: really see that cact just over there occasionally able to

463
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: try to kill itself by falling over, and like, I

464
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: don't know what how if that happens, but I was like,

465
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: I need something to keep it up. That doesn't look terrible.

466
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: And I had an old green ribbon tied it around

467
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 3: it and out holds it up until it's decided it

468
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: chooses life again. So this orange ribbon may find its

469
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 3: way into the gardens.

470
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 2: Oh that's exciting. Yes, send me a picture.

471
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: I'll send you a Should I open these gifts either

472
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 3: in any order?

473
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 2: There two gifts, some great question.

474
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 4: Let's start with the smaller. You want to start with

475
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 4: the smaller and then build your way up to the.

476
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: Big one, right, okay?

477
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I should say they're both pretty small.

478
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 2: They're hand hand size.

479
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 3: One of them is the size of a seventy inch television.

480
00:25:52,200 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 3: A nice four three color square gel sharpie pens. Yes, now,

481
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 3: should we start discussing these now or do I need

482
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 3: to open the second thing to give them context?

483
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: You know, I think that they can talk. We can

484
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 2: talk pens.

485
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: Okay, tell me why you brought me these pins?

486
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: Okay, these are my favorite pens.

487
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 3: I love when people have a passion for pins, when

488
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 3: they really know pins.

489
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 4: And I will say these are special, okay, because you.

490
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 2: Haven't brought it up.

491
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 4: So I'm a little upset, but but that's okay.

492
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: We can get past it. They're all one point.

493
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: Zero one point zero okay, right.

494
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 4: Sometimes you will go online and you will find these

495
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 4: a plethora of these sharpie gel pens, but they are

496
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 4: a point seven smaller.

497
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 3: Does that mean smaller? What does that refer to?

498
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 2: Actually, it just means the line.

499
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 3: Thinner, right, And this is bold.

500
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 4: This is extremely bold, but it's not a sharpie right, Okay,

501
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 4: so it really rides that like.

502
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 3: The sound of this.

503
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: And now I have these at work and people steal

504
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 4: them from me.

505
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, No, You've got to put a little

506
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 3: uh like a choplifting alarm or one of those ink

507
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 3: things that explodes if it needs that, they take it away.

508
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 3: I think that would.

509
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 2: So be careful what you were you? Yeah?

510
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: Should I open and try it on this other I'm

511
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 3: very excited about it.

512
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

513
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 3: Oh this is in one of those tricky wrapping so

514
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 3: hard to.

515
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: No, you have to decide are you're going to do black,

516
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 2: red or blue?

517
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: I think I'm going to do blue.

518
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that. That's a good choice.

519
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 3: Be tasteful with the golden white on the wrapping paper.

520
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 4: Okay, Now you're gonna there's a little ball that's a

521
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: it's a sounds nice, right.

522
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds beautiful. People a lot of beeping and

523
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 3: clicking on this episode. Okay, what were you saying? I'm

524
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 3: so sorry.

525
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: There's a cover and the tip of the pen. It's

526
00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: for the protection of the ink.

527
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 3: Wow, so I have to take that off.

528
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: The people at Sharpie know what they're doing.

529
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: I mean, this is unnecessary. The fact that they've covered

530
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 3: this up is extremely unnecessary.

531
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 2: But I respect because it means it's so thought out.

532
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 3: There's a factory somewhere that is producing caps that are

533
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 3: smaller than a ladybug to put on the tip of

534
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 3: a pen. I mean that's extraly. That isn't probably ladybug?

535
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: I yeah, that is. This is this is what we're

536
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 3: the real animate this little cap. I'll have to take

537
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: a picture then share it if people will even be

538
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 3: able to see it.

539
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure there are like birds and fish

540
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:40,760

Speaker 2: Yeah, so I apologize.

543
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: I could swallow that. It's very hard. It's like a

544
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 3: piece of sand.

545
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: Don't try to swallow it all.

546
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 3: Swallow whatever I want. Okay, we've got the blue hair.

547
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 3: Is there anything you'd like me to write?

548
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:54,040

00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: What's happening now?

559
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: I mean I I do love pens of all sorts.

561
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 3: I don't have the pen knowledge. I don't really have

562
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 3: knowledge of anything.

563
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: Neither do I. That's why I came with pens. I

564
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: don't know this. Is there anything more basic? I don't

565
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: have to tell you.

566
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: People call me bridger a has qwina girl. I'm just

567
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 3: kind of empty and have nothing to offer. But I

568
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 3: do love pens. I love doodling with pins. I love

569
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 3: writing with pens. I can't do a pen, and so

570
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: I cannot write pencil no, thank you, but a pin. Oh,

571
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: especially at work and you're bored and you're just doodling

572
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: away the dream. Yeah, and these are so beautiful that

573
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: these are going to have to read. I should put

574
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 3: a little chain on them or something.

575
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: You should definitely put your name on it. They will

576
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 2: be stolen.

577
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 3: How often you're getting a pin stolen?

578
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: So often?

579
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 4: And I see and you know, people have the audacity

580
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 4: to then show up walk around work with these. Oh,

581
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 4: and I know who you are because no one else

582
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 4: here is buying sharpie gels at one point.

583
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 3: Oh the rest of your trash. Wow, that really is

584
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: a bold move to take a pin that is so

585
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: clearly not just an office pin. Yes, and then go

586
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 3: about your day exactly.

587
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 4: It's not like the office depo pens that they put

588
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 4: out for everyone.

589
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 3: No, right, Grameric, Yeah, you buy those in bulk. Yeah,

590
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 3: these are stylish. They've got a rubber comfort grip, and

591
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: they have the no bleed technology always vivid. So I'm

592
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 3: sorry that you work with just a group of monsters, criminals,

593
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: freaks and scumbags. Trust that if I, if we shared

594
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: an office, I would respect the boundary that you were

595
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 3: willing to put a little extra money into your pens,

596
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: and I would continue to use crap, you know, because

597
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 3: I that's the standard I hold for myself absolutely, And

598
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: I see other people they deserve good pins. I can

599
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 3: find one in you know, on the floor. You don't care,

600
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: parking lot, wherever, wherever the pen comes from. Uh yourself,

601
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: Well I don't. I don't need to. I just start

602
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,479

630
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 3: the way I think.

631
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 2: Tell you, I'll tell you what it is there.

632
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 4: I was struck by this book because there's nothing for

633
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 4: me more stressful than a book telling me to worry

634
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 4: for nothing.

635
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: Of course, what is the book?

636
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: No, if you want to kill my insides, then be

637
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: this book.

638
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 3: Where did you find it?

639
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 2: I found it on Amazon here.

640
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 3: So do you have any idea what's inside or anything?

641
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: I peaked?

642
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 4: It doesn't It doesn't help what's inside.

643
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 2: What's inside won't help you.

644
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 3: Okay. Yeah, it's a cognitive behavioral therapy journal. Yes, so

645
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 3: it's not a a regular journal.

646
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 2: Now you can just read that. Oh okay, okay, okay.

647
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 3: I'm looking out for the listener here. I look out

648
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 3: for small businesses listeners. You know, I'm a hero to

649
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 3: so many. Okay, you're so close slipping off. This is

650
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,479
Speaker 3: essentially like the book's bra I'm pulling that off. Okay,

651
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 3: I've taken that off.

652
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: Sexy, it's a very sex.

653
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 3: If nothing else, this is a very sexy podcast. Okay,

654
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 3: I'm opening the book for worry for nothing. Own your thoughts, okay, okay, okay.

655
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: So it is a journal, so I will be writing it.

656
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 3: But initially it says.

657
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 2: Thoughts, Oh, I didn't read that.

658
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 3: Yes. Is They don't ask for permission or give advanced notice.

659
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 3: They don't care who or where we are. They often

660
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 3: weigh us down. That almost started to feel like like

661
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 3: a pitch for a horror movie. Something's coming for us.

662
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 3: And then it gets into various thoughts that's it, and

663
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 3: then it gives oh it. It does give some examples

664
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 3: of negative thoughts, such as, you're wondering, Yeah, I'm going

665
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 3: to embarrass myself. I'm never going to be cool enough.

666
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 3: I feel so alone. This is the rhythm of my day,

667
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 3: we all know. Let's see and yeah they So this

668
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 3: is just about stopping kind of these intrusive thoughts. How

669
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 3: to use this journal articulation day date, day time, and location.

670
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: And so I'm going to be making these entries about

671
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 3: what's going on I think, uh, and describing how I'm feeling,

672
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 3: then how I'm thinking. And see, I'll tell you I

673
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 3: do write in a journal.

674
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 2: Oh, Okay, this is good.

675
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 3: But what I currently write in my journal are things

676
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 3: like Monday, went had this for lunch, went here for dinner,

677
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 3: watch this on TV. That's the yes essentially, So it

678
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 3: does really. I mean occasionally I will put a lie

679
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 3: in it. Okay, I'll put like a crazy thing that

680
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 3: I did in case someone's looking through my journal in

681
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 3: the future, I'll be like, I killed this person or

682
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 3: and just hope that somewhere down the line they're like,

683
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 3: oh my god, the things we're discovering.

684
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean what you have is just like in

685
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:24,479
Speaker 4: case a crime is committed, people will know what went wrong, what.

686
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 3: Went wrong right, right, or it can be used against

687
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 3: me in court and I'll be like, no, I was.

688
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 2: Kidding, right, and this podcast is proof.

689
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 3: And this podcast is proof. Yes, I will have to

690
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 3: put on kind of a multimedia display to show them

691
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 3: that I am innocent. I love to get into the

692
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 3: court room and just do a slide show, do an

693
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 3: audio presentation.

694
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 4: I have to say it's I am pro therapy. So

695
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 4: that's that is, you know. The my my annoyance.

696
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: With this book is not because it's.

697
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 3: A therapy, of course, of course, right, It's more the

698
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 3: book telling how dare you.

699
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 4: Don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what

700
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 4: to worry about.

701
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 3: I didn't find you on psychology today. It wasn't extremely

702
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 3: difficult to book you. Yeah, that's who I want telling

703
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: me Yes, while I avoid eye contact with you. But

704
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 3: this actually does feel like it could be potentially helpful

705
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 3: for me. It gives useful journaling tips, practice, practice, practice,

706
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 3: believable alternative thoughts. Okay, so I think maybe a step

707
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 3: that we avoided here was that, like you write down

708
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 3: what you were thinking, and then you write down an

709
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 3: alternative thought. Oh so like you think about it in

710
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 3: a more real you know, it's kind of a seabe.

711
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 2: I mean that is useful you think about technique.

712
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you step outside of the thought and compare it

713
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 3: to what's really going on.

714
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 2: Complete the thought, complete the.

715
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 3: Thought, give it context, and make it seem as ridiculous

716
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 3: as it actually.

717
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 4: Right, right, Like, you don't just say I'm an idiot,

718
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 4: I'm an idiot, because.

719
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 3: Right then I write pages and pages. I'm demanding the

720
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 3: newspaper publish it. I'm yes, you complete the thought, yes,

721
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 3: but yeah, this is so interesting. So oh and so

722
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 3: every day it has like a you write down your thought,

723
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 3: what do you Okay, describe how your so, what's going on? Now?

724
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 3: I'm giving the listener this so they can just essentially

725
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 3: pirate their own version of this. They can create their

726
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 3: own journal.

727
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 2: You don't need to buy it from Amazon.

728
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 3: No, no, no no. You write what's going on? Then

729
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: you write describe how you're feeling. Then you write, now,

730
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 3: what are you thinking? What evidence supports that thought? What

731
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: about evident evidence that contradicts it? Got it? Let's try

732
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: writing down an alternative thought. How do we feel now?

733
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: Anything else?

734
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: Before you go anything else.

735
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 3: It really just carries you through through the thought process

736
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 3: and hopefully all of your negative thoughts aren't real. Otherwise

737
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 3: this book is going to be just dread chilling, Yes,

738
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 3: just inescapable horror. Oh my god, I have these horrible

739
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 3: thoughts and they're all true. I have so much evident supporting.

740
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 2: This is You were right.

741
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 4: Your first was this is a hard at the beginning

742
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 4: of a horror movie.

743
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: And I think you might be right.

744
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 3: A journal that like turns your horrible thoughts into reality.

745
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 3: Oh we should beat that. Nobody copied that. That's my

746
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 3: that's my horror movie. Or write and then I'll sue you.

747
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: That's always my fine. That's kind of my usual plan

748
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 3: of throw an idea out there and let someone else

749
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 3: do the work and then sue, yeah it was my idea,

750
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 3: get at least partial credit for it. This is sorry by.

751
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 4: The Bridger Masterclass of Writing, of Writing and Lawsuits.

752
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well this is very exciting. Do you journal?

753
00:39:54,600 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 4: I don't, okay, because I have this terrible I you know,

754
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 4: I recently told my therapists that I don't journal, okay,

755
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 4: because she was like, you should journal, and said, well, she's.

756
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 3: New, we're getting to know, okay, you still hate her.

757
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, she was like, you should journal, and

758
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 4: I said, I don't do that.

759
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: Oh so declarative.

760
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 4: Yes, I have this horrible fear that people are when

761
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 4: I die, Oh, there's just gonna be pages and pages

762
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 4: of of my of my thoughts. And I'm sure that

763
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 4: says well. Her response was, oh, so that's who you are,

764
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 4: she said, So that's how you know I believe.

765
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: She said, oh so that's how you think? That says

766
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 2: a lot about I was like, oh, does it.

767
00:40:52,840 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 3: You're already walking out the door ready to fight, just lunge.

768
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 3: That's yeah. That's such an interesting opposite view of how

769
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 3: I view the journal where I'm just looking to absolutely

770
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 3: shift everyone's thinking about who I was as a person alive,

771
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 3: where they think, oh, this is not the person that

772
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 3: we thought he was, because they're saying like, oh, he uh,

773
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 3: you know, burned a house down in twenty fourteen, he

774
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 3: stole a car in twenty twenty two, he's responsible for

775
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 3: a series of thefts throughout the San Fernando Valley. I

776
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 3: put these lines in it, and then they're reading through

777
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 3: They're like, I'm tired of reading what he about, what

778
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 3: he ate for dinner? And then bam they read the

779
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 3: lie and they think we trusted him and now we

780
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 3: know he's a criminal. Wow, So that's what I think

781
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 3: you should take that. And also you're going to be dead.

782
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 2: Well, this is yes, you're You're right. Why do I

783
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 2: care so much?

784
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 3: Why do you Why are you so afraid of everyone

785
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 3: knowing who you are?

786
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, I'm sure this is deep and dark.

787
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 3: It might be, it may not be.

788
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 4: But on the other hand, I do podcast a lot,

789
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 4: so anyway anyone wants to know, I probably already.

790
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 3: Said, right, I know that's well, write it down.

791
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: Why do I have to write it down for you?

792
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 2: Why do I have to make it easy for you, right.

793
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: Do you feel like when you began podcasting and we

794
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 3: love to just discuss the art of podcasting, did it like,

795
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 3: did it initially feel difficult to talk a little bit

796
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 3: because you're like, well, I don't want to say that.

797
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 3: I don't want to say that about myself. I reveal

798
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 3: that about myself. And then did that get easier or

799
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 3: I mean, from my own experience, it was slightly difficult,

800
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 3: but it's really made my entire life much easier because

801
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 3: eventually I'm just like, well, I have to I'm not

802
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 3: going to skirt around this in a conversation. I'll just

803
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 3: say it and then I can say it to other people.

804
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it has helped me.

805
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 3: So this is your journal, this is my journ podcasting.

806
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 2: Yes, this podcast today, with a.

807
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 3: Single episode, is going to unlock who you are to

808
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 3: your entire family.

809
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 2: They don't listen. That's how I'm gonna get them to

810
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 2: listen to my podcast.

811
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 4: When I die, my listen.

812
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 2: My downloads are going way up through the roofs.

813
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 3: That's so true. I mean, my family is gonna be like,

814
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 3: we wish we had listened to it while he was alive,

815
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 3: But then it's gonna be such They're gonna be like, actually,

816
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 3: it's kind of great now we have all this annoying audio.

817
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 4: Yes, well I think about that all the time because

818
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 4: you know, podcasting is a new medium, right, so there

819
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 4: hasn't been like a generation of podcasters who have passed away, right, right, will.

820
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 3: Be the first generation? Yeah, wow of dead podcasters.

821
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 4: And but we're gonna have so much a backlog of audio.

822
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 3: But the thing that worries me is that, you know,

823
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 3: the entire podcast industry is always on fire, more so

824
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 3: maybe now than ever. Yes, what if they don't have

825
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 3: the storage and they just start deleting it?

826
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 4: Oh well, that that is something to worry about, I

827
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 4: will say.

828
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 3: For everyone to worry about not just poot it.

829
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 2: And put it on a CD and save it for

830
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 2: your records.

831
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 3: Yes, the I've heard CDs. I mean we just were

832
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 3: talking about CDs on the podcasts. I mean everything always

833
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 3: makes it come back, And to own a bunch of

834
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 3: CDs and DVDs sounds so refreshing. I do own a

835
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 3: lot of Blu rays, which I'm happy. Like when I

836
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 3: go and look at my closet, I'm like, oh, I

837
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 3: can just select from these and I know I like

838
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: all of these, and I won't be settling for whatever

839
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 3: garbage Netflix is thrown up into a living room. Netflix,

840
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: if you're looking, I'm always willing to pitch animated, live

841
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 3: action whatever you need. I'm there are game shows. I

842
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 3: do an idea for a reality show called Popularity Contest. Okay,

843
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 3: I want to hear this, And it's just every episode

844
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 3: someone gets voted off depending on how popular they are.

845
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 3: Then that's it. It's just the b Yes, it's just

846
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 3: about being cool, and so at the end they say, sorry,

847
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:15,959
Speaker 3: you're not popular enough.

848
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 2: I love this.

849
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 4: I'm obsessed. I want to watch it yesterday. I want

850
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 4: to be like mid season already.

851
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 3: Sorry you're just not popular?

852
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 2: Ah? Is that how you get kicked off?

853
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

854
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 3: Of course?

855
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god?

856
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 3: Can you imagine anything more devastating to hear?

857
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,720
Speaker 2: No, I'm trying to think of something worse. I don't

858
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 2: like you. I mean, I want a divorce. Is that worse? No?

859
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 3: No, Everyone on the show will be desperate to be popular,

860
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 3: and they'll slowly find out that they're not.

861
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 2: There can only be one winner.

862
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 3: Only one person who's considered popular, and then they're the

863
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 3: most popular personal for that year. That then they probably

864
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 3: have to come back every year. The most popular person

865
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 3: does have to come back and see if they can

866
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 3: continue being popular. Okay, and it's difficult because they're aging

867
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 3: and we live in an age of society, so there's

868
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 3: a chance they're becoming less popular.

869
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 4: Oh my god, this is an incredible social experience which

870
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 4: needs to happen richer.

871
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 2: And I'm I'm shown. I shook. But just like, okay,

872
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: I watched Bachelor. You know I'm not a Bachelor Nation.

873
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 4: I'm not a Bachelor Okay, you're not that hard. I

874
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 4: have a distant cynicism. I can be cynical, Okay, sure,

875
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 4: but but maybe, yes, a healthy cynicism. Maybe there's like

876
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 4: a popular nation, you know.

877
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 3: Where it's like among countries. Is that what you're saying?

878
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 4: Contestins, But you know, like Bachelor Nation, you're part of

879
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,280
Speaker 4: the Bachelor once you've been on the show, and depending

880
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 4: on like how many weeks you last did, it's like

881
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 4: your importance in Bachelor Nations.

882
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,959
Speaker 3: So I whenever someone says Bachelor Nation, I just feel

883
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 3: like they're basically being like, I'm a swiftie. It's not

884
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 3: just a name for fans of the show.

885
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 4: Yes, one can say, like to Bachelor Nation. You're you're

886
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 4: speaking to Bachelor Nation, but I would say, also there's

887
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 4: the Bachelor family, which is also like like royal Bachelor

888
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 4: Nation royalty, I guess.

889
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 3: Okay, and contestants from the show. Yes, yes, interesting and yes,

890
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 3: so there would be a Popularity Nation Nation, and I

891
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 3: get I imagine the setting would probably have to maybe

892
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 3: a high school. Oh yeah, maybe we find in an

893
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 3: abandoned high school somewhere and spit shine and then it

894
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 3: all takes place there just sleep in the classrooms or something.

895
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 3: I can't think of all the details.

896
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,760
Speaker 4: There's plenty of those with our decaying educational system.

897
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,720
Speaker 3: Yes, this is what we should do with public education

898
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 3: is turn it into a tasteless.

899
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 2: Reality show to real so scared.

900
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 3: For the record, I'm an enormous proponent of the public

901
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 3: education we love. I mean, it's my one one thing

902
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 3: I care about is public education, and I've outside of rats.

903
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 3: Once we take care of those, all the money should

904
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 3: just be dump education.

905
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

906
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 3: But Popularity Contest coming potentially to Netflix if they know

907
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 3: what's good for them, or elsewhere, and then probably on

908
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 3: Netflix after it gets canceled on wherever it started. Okay,

909
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,920

921
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 3: the top every time.

922
00:48:59,160 --> 00:48:59,640

928
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,560

Speaker 3: he refused to deal with until twenty twenty four. Yeah,

938
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 3: very exciting.

939
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 4: It'll either be really interesting or extremely boring for them

940
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 4: to read it.

00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 3: After kind of telling everyone how much you knew about pens,

951
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 3: Is that a brand or is that an offshoot?

952
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 2: That's a style brand?

972
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,959
Speaker 4: we come up with a culprit. And of course there's

973
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 4: our follow up episode called The Aftermath, where we then

974

00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 3: we discussed a fake or a fictional disaster. We did

980
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 3: a national Lampoon's Christmas vacation. Eventually you'll ask me to

981
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 3: be on to talk about real Unbelievably, you thought he can't,

982
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 3: he can't go beyond a PG. Thirteen movie. But eventually

983
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 3: we're going to get to a huge disaster and I'm

984
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 3: going to come on with so much information you won't

985
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 3: even need the expert.

986
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

987
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 3: So just be prepared.

988
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 2: This is going to be exciting.

989
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 3: This is how we play gift drinkers. I'm going to

990
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 3: name three things. You're going to tell me if there're

991
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 3: a gift or a curse and why, and then I'll

992
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 3: tell you if you're right or wrong. Because there are

993
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 3: correct answers. You can win big, you can lose big,

994
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 3: you can do whatever. The middle thing is number one.

995
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 3: This is from a listener named Sarah. Gift you a curse.

996
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 3: The spilt food or drink decorations on display in furniture stores.

997
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 3: Are you familiar with these?

998
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 4: Like the fake spelt food, like a can of soda

999
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 4: with a fake.

1000
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 3: Like a like an orange rubber that looks like, you know,

1001
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 3: the soda has been spilt there kind of you know.

1002
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 3: It's like a more evolved version of like a gag vomit.

1003
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 4: Uh huh, yeah, I would say this is a this

1004
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 4: is a gift for the prankster at heart. Okay, it's

1005
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:36,439
Speaker 4: a talking piece when you when a new person enters

1006
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 4: your home or office, right, it can really break the tension.

1007
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 4: You can also use it to you know, prank of.

1008
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 2: Family member or a loved one. I'm just spit volume here.

1009
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 2: I probably set the wrong answer.

1010
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 3: Wrong. Yes, curse, This is why I love them. I

1011
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 3: love being in a furniture store and coming upon the

1012
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 3: spilled soda, the spilled gravy boat. I don't think that

1013
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 3: actually exists, but that should exist, and I think that's

1014
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 3: part of why this is a curse. I know, actually,

1015
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 3: I know in my heart there's no such thing as

1016
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 3: a fake gravy boat where gravy's spilled everywhere, and that's

1017
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 3: the industry is in trouble. But my bigger problem is

1018
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 3: when I see them in these stores, I think, why

1019
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 3: can't I have these in my own home? Why don't

1020
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 3: I have a lot of these at home? And then

1021
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 3: the reason is is because they look bad in a

1022
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 3: real home.

1023
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 2: It's messy.

1024
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 3: I guess they look messy, and they make you look

1025
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 3: like someone who genuinely loves pranks.

1026
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm embarrassed honestly. Then he said it was again.

1027
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 4: I wish I could take it back.

1028
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 3: I mean, but at the end of the day, they

1029
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 3: are a lovely thing, and they're so they truly are

1030
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 3: the craftsmanship to create a thing that looks like a

1031
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 3: spilled sun kissed. I'm really stuck on Orange Solda for

1032
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 3: some reason. I think that they're absolutely beautiful pieces of

1033
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 3: art which are cursed in a way that is really

1034
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 3: unfortunate for everyone because they can only ever belong in

1035
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 3: our What is a furniture store? Blank? Yeah, you know,

1036
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 3: I feel like, what is the furniture?

1037
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 2: What is the furniture it?

1038
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 4: Think?

1039
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 3: Can you think of a name? Oh? Why am I

1040
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 3: blanking on? Literally everything to Go?

1041
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 2: Am I saying?

1042
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 3: Is that what you were asking me to say?

1043
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 2: Rooms to Go?

1044
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 3: Is that Christmas? It's called rooms to Go?

1045
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, where you buy an entire room, kind of like

1046
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 4: bring it to your house.

1047
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 3: I think Living Spaces does the same thing. Now we're

1048
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 3: getting into it, Ashley furniture I would love we're getting

1049
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 3: now we're moving up.

1050
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1051
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 3: Okay, so now just that was for that was for

1052
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 3: my cognitive test, just so I could remember furniture stores.

1053
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 3: But we love to see them there and we can't

1054
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 3: take them home. It's like seeing a beautiful dog at

1055
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 3: the shelter and thinking, well, I don't have room for

1056
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,720
Speaker 3: it right now, and knowing that it's out there somewhere

1057
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 3: and it can't be in my home. And that's why

1058
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 3: it's a curse. Yeah, and that's why you're deadly wrong.

1059
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 2: And you're absolutely right. I should be thank.

1060
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 3: You, thank you.

1061
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

1062
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 3: Number two, This is from a listener named Kelsey. Gift

1063
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 3: to a curse. When everyone else at the dinner table

1064
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 3: has their food and the one person who doesn't have

1065
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 3: their food served yet says, please don't wait for me,

1066
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 3: go ahead and gifter a curse.

1067
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 2: Curse?

1068
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 3: Why oh oh.

1069
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 2: I already said curse.

1070
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 3: I mean you can't change your mind.

1071
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 2: I just think that's a trap.

1072
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 3: Okay, after trap.

1073
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 4: You don't actually want them to go on because you're

1074
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 4: upset that you don't have your food and you're gonna

1075
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 4: have to watch them.

1076
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand it.

1077
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 4: You're probably a nice if you say that, you're a

1078
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 4: nice person.

1079
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 2: But there are also going to be a group of

1080
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 2: people that are have this has.

1081
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 4: Learned behavior for them, and are not actually nice people

1082
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 4: who want you to eat and they're just saying, go

1083
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 4: ahead and eat, eat test, And that's a trap. So

1084
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 4: if I'm at that table, I.

1085
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 2: Hate I would rather they not say anything at all.

1086
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 3: Go completely silent for the rest of the.

1087
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 2: Meal until their food comes.

1088
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 3: Sure, kind of just simmer there and their anger. Yeah, okay. Interesting,

1089
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 3: So you're saying curse.

1090
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 2: I'm saying it's a curse, that situation is a curse

1091
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 2: or yeah.

1092
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 3: Wrong, of course, gift. I love a test and a trap.

1093
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 3: First of all, we're all starving, we are ready to eat.

1094
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 3: Thank you for the go ahead. You should have said

1095
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 3: this much earlier, you know, as soon as one plate

1096
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 3: got set down, everyone should have said eat the food.

1097
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 3: But the fact that you waited until literally all of us,

1098
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it's an interesting behavior. But thank you for

1099
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 3: finally giving us the go ahead. And if it's your

1100
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 3: little mind game, good for you. I'm glad you're testing

1101
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 3: all of us and seeing how we react. We should

1102
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 3: all be constantly doing mind games with each other at

1103
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 3: restaurants most of all, so it's a gift if I

1104
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 3: have to sit and wait for your more complicated meal

1105
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 3: to come out. Oh well yeah, oh, the respect level

1106
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 3: is just plummeting. I mean, the hatred is growing. Let

1107
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 3: me eat my meal, Let me devour it in front

1108
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 3: of you while you starve at the table. That's all

1109
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 3: I ask.

1110
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:30,919
Speaker 4: I think what we've learned is that you and I

1111
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 4: can't go to dinner and we can't go shopping together

1112
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 4: so far.

1113
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 2: So let's see what else we can't do together.

1114
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 3: Okay, this is the final one. You've gotten zero so far,

1115
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,439
Speaker 3: which is so humiliating. This is from a listener named Peter,

1116
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 3: and it's a gift to a curse semi.

1117
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:53,959
Speaker 2: Colon's I'm really.

1118
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 3: Really thinking about this, and I appreciate that trying to

1119
00:58:58,520 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 3: dig yourself out of the hole.

1120
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 4: I guess a curse because does anyone really know how

1121
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 4: to use a semi colon?

1122
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 3: Right?

1123
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I I just hearing myself say semi colon.

1124
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 4: I know that I said it incorrectly. It depends where

1125
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 4: you're from. It's a regional thing, clearly, I don't. I

1126
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 4: don't use them very often because they make me feel uncomfortable,

1127
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 4: self conscious. Yeah, I not a not a fan.

1128
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 3: So curse, oh to walk away with the zero. No

1129
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 3: one wanted you to fail completely. We were all pulling

1130
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 3: for you. It's a very small list of people. It's

1131
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 3: almost elite. I mean, you've entered an elite, elite group

1132
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:50,959
Speaker 3: of losers, which is fine, Okay, you can't do everything right.

1133
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 3: You can't do anything right as far as I'm no,

1134
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 3: there are gifts. I mean, first of all, they're so tasteful,

1135
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 3: such a classy little you know they It is you're

1136
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 3: wielding a power when you know how to use a

1137
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 3: semi I mean it is. What s upsetting is the

1138
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 3: different pronunciations and I fluctuate between, which is maybe it's

1139
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 3: kind of fun. It's like, how am I feeling? Semi colon?

1140
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 3: Semi colon?

1141
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: Uh?

1142
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 3: And you can put that on like a different jacket,

1143
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 3: which is exciting. It's you know, today I'm a semi

1144
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 3: colon person. Tomorrow I might be semi colon.

1145
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 2: Is there one that's like meaner or.

1146
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 3: I think semi classic semi is more American and it's.

1147
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 2: More cowboy, like a semi truck.

1148
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a semi truck. Yeah. Have I ever heard

1149
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 3: someone say semi truck.

1150
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say no. I'm sure there have.

1151
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 3: Been probably probably people in the UK, oh for sure, right,

1152
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,439
Speaker 3: but they probably also have a different foldly different word.

1153
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 2: They don't say semi, they don't say truck.

1154
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 3: They I think they say LORI, right, I think that's

1155
01:00:54,120 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 3: a truck. In the UK. This is so insane they

1156
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 3: call it an articulated LORI.

1157
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they went.

1158
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 3: Too far with this one. Well, you know we know

1159
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 3: that you have class.

1160
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 2: Get over yourself, calm.

1161
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:15,959
Speaker 3: It's a big rig.

1162
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1163
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 3: So semi colon is more. You know, we're trucking, we're

1164
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 3: and I found out we have listeners that are, you know,

1165
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,919
Speaker 3: listening to the podcast while they're driving trucks across the country,

1166
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 3: which I'm just thrilled about. I'm kind of a Johnny

1167
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 3: Cash type, you know. You know they listened to Johnny

1168
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 3: Cash in the seventies while they were driving it. Now

1169
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 3: while they're driving they're listening to a boring podcast.

1170
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 2: God, I'm so happy for you.

1171
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, uh, semi colon. As we've discussed this

1172
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 3: a little class here, it's a little bit more. You're

1173
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 3: in your you know of a lord jacket. You want

1174
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 3: people to know you can actually use it. A semi colon.

1175
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 3: It's two independent clauses. It's two clauses that can stand

1176
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 3: as their own, that are connected to each other.

1177
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 2: Puck us through this. I mean, I'm learning right now.

1178
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 3: So it's like it's like a very powerful comma, you know,

1179
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 3: and I think that we always need a more powerful comma.

1180
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 3: You don't want to overuse it because then you look

1181
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 3: like a psycho. But when you occasionally pop that in somewhere,

1182
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 3: it tells people that you know more than they do.

1183
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 3: It's putting the reader in their place, and the reader

1184
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 3: needs to know that occasionally they're stupid and that's why

1185
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 3: they didn't write the book. It's kind of an insult ultimately,

1186
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 3: I feel it. And now that I'm saying it's like,

1187
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 3: is that is it too independent clauses? I think it's

1188
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 3: two clauses that can stand on their own, you know,

1189
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 3: that are basically sentences, but they're not quite strong enough

1190
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 3: to be their own sentence.

1191
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 4: Okay, can you give us an example, because I this

1192
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 4: is my big question.

1193
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 2: This is when I.

1194
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 4: Die, if there's a higher being?

1195
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 2: This is the question to IOA A right.

1196
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean it is a tricky because it

1197
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 3: feels so almost optional almost every time. But let's let's

1198
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 3: try this. Rebecca had brought a gift semi colon Bridger

1199
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 3: hadn't seen this coming. Oh that feels about right. I

1200
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 3: would say both of those are sentences.

1201
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 2: They're connected, but there should be a pause.

1202
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 3: And you want to know, you want people to know

1203
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 3: that one they both really affect each other.

1204
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 2: I assume, Oh, okay, well I love that you know.

1205
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 3: And this is coming from somebody who did graduate in

1206
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 3: English poorly, who can barely explain this thing and is

1207
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 3: probably kind of wrong.

1208
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 4: Well, you're talking to someone who graduated from acting school.

1209
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 2: So I'm.

1210
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 4: Just wanting to be anywhere I made it here. I

1211
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 4: know how to drive a car.

1212
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 2: Somehow, and I.

1213
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 3: If you want into a semi colon and a script,

1214
01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a breakdown, career, a ruining. So I'm

1215
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 3: saving a life tonight. Yes, yes, okay, well you lost

1216
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 3: deal with it.

1217
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 2: I'm so embarrassed right about it? In your CBT journal,

1218
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 2: I don't have one.

1219
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 3: Well, you're gonna have to get online or head to

1220
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 3: your local journal shop. This is the final segment of

1221
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 3: the podcast. It's called I Said No Emails, and people

1222
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 3: write into I Said No guess at gmail dot com

1223
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 3: complaining about the state of their lives, wondering where they

1224
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 3: should go next. What's wrong? With me this kind of thing,

1225
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 3: and they expect me to answer, and fortunately, I, you know,

1226
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 3: have generous and just a deep well of knowledge, which

1227
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 3: directly opposes to what we were talking about earlier on podcast.

1228
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 3: People call me Bridger deep well of knowledge. So would

1229
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 3: you hold me answer a listener question? I would love

1230
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:57,959
Speaker 3: to Okay, let's get into this.

1231
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 4: I was gonna say I would love to answer unsolicited advice,

1232
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 4: but this is solicited.

1233
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 3: This is extreme overly solicited advice. They're getting into my

1234
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 3: private I said, no gifts, email and demanding answers.

1235
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 2: You do love to email, don't you.

1236
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 3: I can't get enough, can't get me away from the email. Okay,

1237
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 3: so this has Bridger common Usually they'll say, like Bridger

1238
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 3: and guests or whatever. So they really left you out here,

1239
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 3: which is wow, probably at least mildly hurtful.

1240
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just lost. I lost a game and now

1241
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 2: I'm not being included.

1242
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 3: Invisible, which I will speak for you is horrifying, absolutely horrifying.

1243
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 3: This is Bridger looking for a gift for my middle

1244
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 3: aged friend who recently borrowed her husband's pickup truck to

1245
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 3: move my daughter into her first apartment. This friend, like me,

1246
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 3: has everything interesting little brag doesn't need more stuff to

1247
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 3: curate or manage in her and is not is not

1248
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 3: expecting a gift thoughts. That's from Julia. Okay, So first

1249
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 3: of all, I do want to point out she Okay,

1250
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 3: she's saying that she has everything. She's got it all.

1251
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 3: Her friend apparently also has it all.

1252
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 2: Oh so you think Julia has it all?

1253
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 4: Because the way I heard it was that her friend

1254
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 4: has it all, but Julia doesn't have it all.

1255
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 3: Look at the email, babe, it says this friend like

1256
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 3: me in parentheses, has everything. Yeah, so she I don't

1257
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 3: think she even cares to get an answer. She just

1258
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 3: wanted to tell the world that she has everything.

1259
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god, did you just say babe? You've ever

1260
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 2: said babe?

1261
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 3: Well earlier I wrote what did I write? Hey?

1262
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 2: Girl?

1263
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: Yes?

1264
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 3: So it's seeping into the podcast. Who knows what will

1265
01:06:55,680 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 3: be next? Look, you know, I'll do whatever. Anale is

1266
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 3: a homophone. I'm surrounded by homophones. There's no My safety

1267
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 3: is at an all time risk right now. I could

1268
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 3: you know I could be attacked at any MoMA. This sucks.

1269
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 3: I hate being here.

1270
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 2: Ah.

1271
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 3: No, Julia wrote into brag about how she has everything.

1272
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 3: Including a pickup truck. Okay, well, let's see, my friend

1273
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 3: recently borrowed her husband's.

1274
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 2: She borrowed her husband's pickup truck.

1275
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 3: Does she have to however, I'm actually questioning what this

1276
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 3: person wants.

1277
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait wait, she borrowed.

1278
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 4: This person borrowed her husband's Okay.

1279
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 3: To move Julia's daughter into her first apartment.

1280
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 2: I'm still stuck on the borrowing the husband's makeup truck.

1281
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Do you have to say?

1282
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 4: Hey, honey, can I what this is?

1283
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 2: I'm alarmed?

1284
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 3: I mean there is, I mean, this is you know,

1285
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 3: the misogyny is just black. This husband is First of all,

1286
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 3: Julia's friend needs to leave the husband. That's a separate email.

1287
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 2: And we're not telling you what to do, but we

1288
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 2: don't know.

1289
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 3: If you have to like write in a sign out

1290
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 3: sheet to get the truck. No, the marriage is in danger, yes,

1291
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 3: but what we have to put that aside because she

1292
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:25,839
Speaker 3: borrowed David's truck. Let's say, David, David is very protective

1293
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 3: as truck, but he said, honey, you can take it

1294
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 3: for the day, but don't adjust the seat to move

1295
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 3: Julia's daughter into her first apartment. Okay, Ultimately, this is

1296
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 3: between Julia's daughter and the friend.

1297
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 4: The friend and also the husband did not offer to

1298
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:43,919
Speaker 4: do any heavy lifting.

1299
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:49,839
Speaker 3: He was watching the game honey go on. So Julia,

1300
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 3: and now I've got a problem with Julia's ungrateful daughter.

1301
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 3: Why isn't the daughter writing in to ask about what

1302
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 3: gifts she should give?

1303
01:08:58,200 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 2: This free question?

1304
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 3: This family is a disaster. Stop listening to podcasts and

1305
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:06,719
Speaker 3: get your life in order.

1306
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 2: Get yourself a journal.

1307
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, get yourself a family, CBC journal. Are you all

1308
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 3: right what you're feeling and who you should be giving gifts?

1309
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 3: And what trucks you should be borrowing? I mean, if we,

1310
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 3: I guess we should answer what should Julia give this

1311
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,639
Speaker 3: friend who borrowed a truck to move a snob daughter

1312
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 3: into an apartment?

1313
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 4: I mean, for you're right, this is the dog. This

1314
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 4: is between again, the daughter and the friends.

1315
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 3: This daughter makes me sick to my stomach. Oh, so

1316
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 3: she's just in her on her throne in her apartment.

1317
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 2: I mean, Julia, what are you doing your your You're

1318
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 2: enabling Yeah, it's behavior.

1319
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 3: When you should be there for your friends saying why

1320
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 3: did you have to borrow the truck? Yes? Isn't it

1321
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 3: just kind of your guys's truck.

1322
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 2: And what was he doing that was so important that

1323
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 2: he couldn't help you?

1324
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 1: Right?

1325
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 2: Lift a dresser and my horrible daughter? Not and not,

1326
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 2: And I'm not not that the friend needs a guy

1327
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 2: to help it.

1328
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,759
Speaker 3: Right, of course, this is where it gets thorny, of course,

1329
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 3: But you've always said that women do need men for

1330
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 3: everything on and off podcasts.

1331
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, like more more hands creates less work?

1332
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 3: Is more cooks makes the kitchen better?

1333
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 4: Is?

1334
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:20,799
Speaker 3: I think it's the phrase?

1335
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 4: Is it really no more hands?

1336
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 2: I'm not good with phrases.

1337
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,719
Speaker 4: If you nailed that one, I'm really proud, like butter,

1338
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 4: But I do have a I have a suggestion.

1339
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 3: Okay, let's hear it.

1340
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,839
Speaker 4: For what she can get the friend who has everything

1341
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 4: a prank canon.

1342
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 3: For her furniture, for the husband's truck, for the Yeah,

1343
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 3: I know, I said I wouldn't do anything to the truck,

1344
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 3: but I had to have a sun kissed and now

1345
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 3: it's all over the leather seats. Real test of the

1346
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 3: marriage there, Oh my god. I mean you're gonna find

1347
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 3: out what David think, I mean, how he acts to

1348
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 3: an emergency when he sees that soda spilled all over

1349
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 3: his precious truck.

1350
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 4: And now, dare I ask you, Bridger, do I get

1351
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 4: my point back now that we've agreed.

1352
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 3: Not in a million years? Are you kidding again? It's

1353
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 3: not real. What are you talking about. You're not like

1354
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 3: waiting in the parking lot after Wheel of Fortune, like

1355
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I know the answer now. No, the game's over,

1356
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 3: the prize is lost, and it was a good price.

1357
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 2: But we're still it was a good prize, excellent, precise,

1358
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 2: tell me what it was.

1359
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 3: There are no prizes, credibility, respect from the community, this

1360
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:45,759
Speaker 3: kind of thing, because my listeners will swarm your podcast

1361
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:46,719
Speaker 3: with negative reviews.

1362
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 2: Then no.

1363
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 3: One stars, You're gonna just burn you down. She lost

1364
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 3: a game on another podcast, hers must be terrill.

1365
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 2: Please don't do that. We can't afford it.

1366
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, nobody's swarm unless it's with good reviews.

1367
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, I think that that actually is the

1368
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 3: perfect gift to the situation. It'll solve so many problems,

1369
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 3: bring up so many horrible things that needed to be

1370
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,799
Speaker 3: brought out. Yeah, I mean. And then the other obvious

1371
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 3: one that Julia, like in her rush to tell everyone

1372
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 3: that she has everything, didn't realize her poor friend doesn't

1373
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:24,879
Speaker 3: have a truck. That's the one thing she doesn't have. Wow,

1374
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 3: her husband has a truck.

1375
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 2: So since she is wealthy, I mean, yeah, maybe not.

1376
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 2: Why am I assuming that because she has everything? Yeah,

1377
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 2: but sometimes people, you know, everything can be you.

1378
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: Know, love.

1379
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 3: I'm not getting that from Julia. I'm getting this as

1380
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 3: the material girl. She's got it all, and when she

1381
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 3: means all, she means earthly possessions that she can't take.

1382
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 2: With her Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

1383
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,640
Speaker 3: And her friend. She's dragging her friend into this. Her

1384
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 3: friend has bought every type of car and ignored the

1385
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 3: fact that she might at one point need a truck.

1386
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:02,719
Speaker 3: So now, Julia, you can take one of her trucks

1387
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 3: and give it to the friend.

1388
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,520
Speaker 2: So you're assuming Julia has a truck, has everything.

1389
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 3: Didn't want to help her daughter with her truck because

1390
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 3: she hates her daughter.

1391
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 4: One would assume that Julia doesn't have a truck because

1392
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 4: that's why she didn't help.

1393
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 3: Okay, well, ask that Julia would give that detail. She's

1394
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 3: obviously a bad rider.

1395
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 2: But Julia, this is my bigger question.

1396
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 4: Why didn't Julia get in the truck and go along

1397
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 4: with her friend to help her daughter move in.

1398
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 3: Well, now that's it's unclear if that happened or not.

1399
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 3: She might have shown up in one of like one

1400
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 3: of her helicopters or by boat. She probably just doesn't

1401
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 3: want to share airspace with another person. Oh and so

1402
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 3: she's like, well, I'll just bring my own personal vehicle.

1403
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 3: I have somebody to pick from. Why would I get

1404
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 3: in your husband's dumpy truck. I'll meet you there in

1405
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 3: my maserati m. She screeched up to her daughter's first

1406
01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 3: apartment and said, I'm ready to lift boxes. Then I'll

1407
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:04,759
Speaker 3: write and write emails. Julia, you did get your answer

1408
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 3: somewhere in here, at least two answers. The friend got

1409
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 3: an answer we don't want to ever hear from the daughter.

1410
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 3: She had her chance, and she blew it to us

1411
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 3: in a disgusting way. And Julia, I mean, take that answer.

1412
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:26,360
Speaker 3: Do whatever you want. Do not write back into the podcast. Wow,

1413
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 3: perfectly answered, Wow, we nailed it.

1414
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 2: Do you always tell your listeners never to write back?

1415
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:33,640
Speaker 3: No, this is the first time. Oh wow, this is

1416
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 3: this is the first time. Usually I'm very respectful. You know,

1417
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 3: a lot of thank yous, a lot of it means

1418
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 3: so much. This is the first time i've you know,

1419
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 3: Julia really got to me.

1420
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, you're in the zone.

1421
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 3: I'm in the zone. Julia will never be in the zone.

1422
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 3: That's the one thing she'll never have is being in

1423
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 3: the zone. Rebecca, I'm I've got these incredible gifts. I'm

1424
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:01,640
Speaker 3: so thrilled that I can actually use these things and

1425
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 3: discover what's wrong with me mentally and reveal the future

1426
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 3: generations that I had a lot of mental illness that

1427
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 3: went undiagnosed. But maybe this will lead to me getting

1428
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 3: a new therapist. It's so difficult sometimes it is. They

1429
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 3: do not make it easy, but everyone should try. If

1430
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 3: you need a therapist, you should try.

1431
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 2: And keep trying and keep don't give up.

1432
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,679
Speaker 3: It's kind of like dating, yes, somehow worse.

1433
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:29,440
Speaker 2: I've been left by many therapists.

1434
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 3: Oh well, they can't handle you. You're a menace.

1435
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:34,799
Speaker 2: I'm the problem.

1436
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:39,799
Speaker 3: Yes, you're destroying the psychology community. They have your picture

1437
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 3: on office walls everywhere. Do not help this woman.

1438
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:46,719
Speaker 2: They've given me excuses that are.

1439
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 3: Real, flimsy excuses.

1440
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 4: You know, I'm leaving the practice or I'm not taking

1441
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 4: your insurance anymore.

1442
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:57,600
Speaker 2: But trust me, it feels like abandonment.

1443
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 3: Of course it doesn't. If you had your all, you'd

1444
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,600
Speaker 3: be able to figure out that problem for yourself. But

1445
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 3: you never will. No, you never will. You you've refused

1446
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:11,799
Speaker 3: to work on yourself, unlike me with my journal.

1447
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1448
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,719
Speaker 3: I've had a wonderful time with you here today, me too, whatever,

1449
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:17,840
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.

1450
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 2: For being here, Thank you for having me.

1451
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 3: Of course any time, that's not true. We've got a book,

1452
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 3: you know. This variety is the spice of life. Many

1453
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 3: hands makes light work. Oh, that's what it is. I

1454
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 3: thought that's what you said.

1455
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 2: I said, many hands makes less work, is what I said.

1456
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 3: It's essentially the same, okaying, semi colon, semi colon.

1457
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 2: I've learned so much.

1458
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 3: I know we are it's it's a learning podcast. Ultimately,

1459
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 3: this is it's a resource for people. But again, thank

1460
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 3: you for me and listener. The podcast is over. I

1461
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 3: know we kind of made you think it was over,

1462
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 3: and then we dipped back into a little bit of

1463
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 3: extra delight, which I should charge you for. That's a

1464
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:06,560
Speaker 3: mini So maybe we'll edit that out and charge for that.

1465
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 3: That remains to be seen.

1466
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:08,839
Speaker 2: Put it on the Patreon.

1467
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 3: We're launching a Patreon with a thirty second episode with

1468
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 3: zero contest listener. The podcast is over, Get out of here,

1469
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 3: have a wonderful day. I love you, goodbye. I said,

1470
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 3: No Gifts is an exactly right production. It's produced by

1471
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 3: our dear friend Analise Nilson, and it's beautifully mixed by

1472
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 3: Ben Holliday. And we couldn't do it without our guest booker,

1473
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:45,639
Speaker 3: Patrick Kottner. The theme song, of course, could only come

1474
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:49,719
Speaker 3: from miracle worker Amy Man. You must follow the show

1475
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 3: on Instagram at I said no Gifts, I don't want

1476
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 3: to hear any excuses. That's where you get to see

1477
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 3: pictures of all these gorgeous gifts I'm getting. And don't

1478
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 3: you want to see pictures of the gifts?

1479
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 1: But I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear.

1480
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 1: But you're I guess to my home.

1481
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 2: You gotta come to me empty, And.

1482
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: I said, no, guess, your own presences presents enough. I

1483
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: already had too much stuff, So how do you dare

1484
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: to surbey me
