00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: I'm so I am through the roof about this guest.

16
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: I just adore her. Maybe one of the greatest voices

17
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: of all time, Yardley Smith Yardley, Welcome to. I said,

18
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: no gifts.

19
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 3: Thank you, Brechire. I am so thrilled to be here.

20
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: I am a genuine fan of your podcast. This is

21
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: truly an honor.

22
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: Oh God, bless you, I am. I'm you know before

23
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: the recording began, you really saw the gears grinding as

24
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: I just pushed every button on my recording device. It's

25
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: been a stressful intro to the and so I think

26
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: it's safe to say that we're both just nervous. We're

27
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: both anxious wrecks right now.

28
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: I'm sort of an anxious wreck most of the time.

29
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: So it's just another what day is it Friday? Today?

30
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: Well, let's get into it in a normal way. How

31
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: are you doing?

32
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: I knew you were going to ask me that there's

33
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: so much pressure with that question, Bridget.

34
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: And I want specifics. I want to go deep here,

35
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: and there will be no excuses. I'm not going to

36
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: let you off the hook. I want to know how

37
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: you're doing.

38
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I've sort of been on the struggle bus recently,

39
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: which is a wonderful phrase that our social media manager

40
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: that we have for pay per click er name was Monica.

41
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: She introduced me to that phrase, the struggle bus. I

42
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: thought it was one of the best ways to say

43
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: I'm having a bit of a fucking hard time without

44
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: people being so alarmed that they either hang up on

45
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: you or run away or just with your number. Right.

46
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: So, and I think it's just this. Uh, I am,

47
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: I'm actually.

48
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 3: A terrible warrior, right, and as things begin to reopen,

49
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: I'm I'm I am what I refer to as an ambrovert.

50
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: Oh of course I learned about this a couple of

51
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: years ago, but I.

52
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: Want you to exploit and it's so perfect and I

53
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: would suspect that you are the same. So because you're

54
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: a performer, so their ability to be extroverted when you

55
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: need to and when it's sort of within certain parameters

56
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: that you feel like, Okay, I get this, but you

57
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: recharge like an introvert, so that means one on one

58
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: or with good friends or by yourself, whatever that is.

59
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: And so you know, while Lockdown for all intents and

60
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: purposes was pretty intense, and I was like, I'm a homebody,

61
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: but fuck, this is a lot. I definitely felt that way.

62
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: But as we get back to normally, I'm a little anxious,

63
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: and not because I think somebody is going to give

64
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 3: me something, but because I already had social anxiety.

65
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: So so great, right, right, It's that I was talking

66
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: to somebody recently about this. It's so overwhelming to see people,

67
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: but in both ways, both good and bad ways. When

68
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: it's like I love seeing you, but I also like

69
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: I feel like an animal being let out.

70
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 3: Kinda like how the what the what? Now? What do we? Okay?

71
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: All right?

72
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: So so yes, and and I'm also I was listening

73
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: to your most recent episode and at the beginning of it,

74
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: you said that you had had you had not done

75
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: well with your time management that well that that day,

76
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: and I thought, oh, that was me today. So I

77
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: thought our interview was an hour ago. So I was like, okay,

78
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 3: I had a morning of things to do, and then

79
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: came I'm like, God, I'm tired. I need to take

80
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 3: a quick nap because so I can be a love

81
00:04:54,839 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: like lively and vivacious. And then so I only down

82
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 3: for like seventeen minutes, and then I banged out of

83
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 3: bed and I bopped on over to the computer and

84
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 3: I sat down and nothing nothing. And then I realized, oh,

85
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 3: oh and so and that just scrambled my whole circuitry.

86
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: That weird stress of when you plan something, you think

87
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: something's coming and then you've got a full hour and

88
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: then suddenly that hour that you have leading up to

89
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: the event is meaningless. It's just less.

90
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: And said I was like, I was in such a dinner.

91
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: I thought, well, there are a great many things you

92
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 3: could do, because the to do list never ends. And

93
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 3: yet I was, I just was.

94
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: I couldn't. Oh no, you're just now in the waiting room.

95
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: You're just that because your entire life becomes a waiting

96
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: room for the next hour or so. Do you believe

97
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: in a power nap? What do you think of power naps?

98
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 2: I know some people can do them.

99
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 3: I suck at them like a nap. For me, a

100
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: good nap is two hours, which is practically a full

101
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: night's sleep. Yeah, power nap. I envy those who've truly

102
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: mastered that.

103
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: I mean, it takes at least a half an hour

104
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: for me to even fall asleep. Fifteen minutes. What are

105
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: we talking about? That's just like the anxiety is slowly

106
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: melting away. There's no sleep. I need to wake up

107
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: from a nap and just feel like I've been in

108
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: a swamp for three hours fifteen minutes. That doesn't if you.

109
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: Do an hour, forty five or two hours, you do

110
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: wake up feeling like you've just been in a swamp.

111
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: Right several But to your point, I actually read about

112
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 3: power naps recently and they said it doesn't actually matter

113
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: if you sleep, per se what. There is tremendous benefit

114
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: in just not being engaged in one or nineteen other things,

115
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: in just trying to be still for fifteen twenty minutes.

116
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure I believe them, but I'm willing

117
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 3: to try.

118
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it just needs a rebranding. Then this

119
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: is a power lie down or a power no pause,

120
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: a power pause. I'd be happy to take a power pause.

121
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: I just don't need the I don't want the stress

122
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: of thinking I need to be asleep for fifteen minutes.

123
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: And I think that's the notion they're trying to diffuse

124
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: so that you don't feel as though, oh god, now,

125
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: not only did I not do anything productive for fifteen minutes,

126
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: I didn't do what I set out to do, right,

127
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: which could be a double whammy depending on your personality type.

128
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: Right, I feel like the greatest failing of human evolution

129
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: is that sleep is not an on off switch. I

130
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: need to be able to just lie down and fall asleep.

131
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: I'm with you, I just I don't know. It's especially

132
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: in the pandemic. My hours mean nothing. I'll wake up

133
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: at five am some days. Some days I'm waking up

134
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: at nine am. Who knows the time I'm going to bed.

135
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: It makes no sense.

136
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: It's true. How was your pandemic? Your lockdown?

137
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely gorgeous? I remember saying that it was. Look, it

138
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: was not as bad as it could have been, and

139
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: not as good as what am I saying? Not as

140
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: good as it could have been? That means literally it

141
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 2: was it was a fine quiet I don't know twelve.

142
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: I mean, we're still kind of in it, but I'm

143
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: vaccinated now and so I feel like I'm getting out

144
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: of it. But it was, you know, there were it

145
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: was extremely boring, and my boyfriend and I, I mean,

146
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: it's probably a miracle we didn't kill each other. And

147
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: I learned to cook breakfast tacos and meatballs, and that's

148
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: about it. How was yours?

149
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: It was all of those things as well? And I

150
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: feel though so Detective Dan, who I co host the

151
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 3: true crime podcast.

152
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 2: Right small Town Digs, let's say it.

153
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: It's so very good, and we co with his identical

154
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: twin brothers, well, Detective Dave. But Dan and I are engaged,

155
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 3: so he's in Los Angeles now, and I was going

156
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: to say, you know, with you and your boyfriend, do

157
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: you feel as though, since you didn't actually kill each other,

158
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: now you're like, Okay, this is probably a good match

159
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 3: because Dan and I are getting married. But it's number

160
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: three for me, it's number one for him.

161
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, sure.

162
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 3: You know three. There are times of charm. They said,

163
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: that's what I'm that's what I'm having my hat on.

164
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: Dan, if you're listening.

165
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I figure, you know, we I'm very I'm

166
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: not an argumentative person. You know, I'm pretty I was

167
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 3: going to say I'm pretty easy going. That's probably not true.

168
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 3: I'm highly demanding. I'm like I had a friend once

169
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: say I'm high maintenance, but I'm high performance. So therefore,

170
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: but I do feel as though it was a really

171
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: good sign that we got on really nicely, really quite

172
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: beautifully during this time. And I think I always say

173
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: too after this always, you know, a few times I've

174
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 3: said in the last since, as we now get out

175
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: of this, and I'm vaccinated as well. But there's a

176
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: huge difference between being told you have to stay at

177
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: home and choosing to stay at home, right, And so

178
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 3: I think that that if we happen to have an

179
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 3: office for a paper Clip, which is the production company

180
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: I have with my business partner and I would go

181
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: there every day, and I had to relearn how to

182
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: work from home. There are many more distractions, like the

183
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: cat who's sitting in my lap right now, And also

184
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 3: just I'm easily distracted. So now my desk faces a

185
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 3: window and I can see out into the garden and

186
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, the hummingbirds are here. That's great. You know,

187
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: I can easily find more multiple ways not to get

188
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 3: anything done. So there were a lot of things that

189
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 3: I had to really take hold of and say okay.

190
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 3: And to your point as well, you know who knows

191
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: when we always joked what day is it or what

192
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: time is it? You had to really if I'm only

193
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: walking fifty five feet to the kitchen because that's the

194
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: end of my work day instead of a twenty minute commute,

195
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: you have to draw a hard and fast line.

196
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely and say, Okay, the.

197
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: Days I'm fucking over, it's done.

198
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: Got it?

199
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: Otherwise it could just go on forever.

200
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: It can just become your entire life. Yes, just fully takeover. Yeah,

201
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: which is so insidious. Now, how long have you been engaged?

202
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: Almost three years? Now?

203
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 2: Oh this is wonderful.

204
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nice. I really, I really love it and

205
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: it's sweet. Dan is so Dan not only is it

206
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: for his first marriage, he's also eleven years younger than me.

207
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: Oh beautiful.

208
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm coming up on fourty years in

209
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 3: the business.

210
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: Sure why?

211
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 3: And sometimes I can make you feel a little long

212
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: in the.

213
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: Tooth right right?

214
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 3: And Dan is he's so different from me. He has

215
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: this superpower, this remarkable ability to live in the moment,

216
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: which I really struggle with. He is he never lies.

217
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: He literally never lies, like it's just not his nature.

218
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: He might wait too long to tell you, and because

219
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: he'll sort of bottle things up and then it might

220
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: sort of like it come out, but he will never

221
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: tell you sort of half or quarter truths leading up

222
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 3: to something. He just will tell you. And you were like, ah,

223
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 3: oh god, what is that? And I remember, I think

224
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 3: I remember hearing you say in one of your interviews

225
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: that you also grew up in a family where nobody

226
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: talked about anything.

227
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, I mean not even good things. Just is

228
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: this similar to your situation?

229
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 3: Yes, So I grew up in this very waspy family.

230
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: And I was saying to the shrink the other day

231
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: at how I have this very complicated kind of fucked

232
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: up relationship to happiness where happiness was not There was

233
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: no real value put on happiness. It wasn't that they

234
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: wanted you to be unhappy. It was just not something

235
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 3: that you would strive for. On the other hand, you

236
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 3: were expected to be ambitious but not expect reward or praise,

237
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: expected to set the bar high, touch it, but not

238
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: expect reward or praise. You know, you were expected to

239
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: always have yourself together but never blow your own horn,

240
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 3: so that you sort of lived in this weird liminal

241
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: space of like, what where you miss everything? I feel

242
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 3: like I missed a lot of things.

243
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I come from I mean, I'm now do

244
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: you think? I think? And the pandemic is compounded this

245
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: where I'm just like, how do you enjoy anything? Like

246
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: even things I'm interested in him? Like I'm now just

247
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: place judging every moment of it and like not even

248
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: experiencing the thing in the moment where it's just like

249
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: is this good? Well, just do it and then maybe

250
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 2: later find I mean you can look back and say,

251
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: oh that was good or rather than just like constantly

252
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: reviewing every second of every day for myself.

253
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: So that's really well said. That is so true.

254
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, my boyfriend is comes from a very I mean,

255
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: it is probably closer to Dan where it's like there's

256
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: a straightforwardness like also his family, the way he communicates

257
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: with his family. He'll be on the phone with his

258
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: mom just arguing, arguing, arguing, but they're both fine. At

259
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: the end of the call, they're saying I love you,

260
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: and they were just expressing their opinions to each other,

261
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: which is the most foreign thing I can possibly foreign.

262
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: So on what what language.

263
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: Is that is? Truly it's like being from another country

264
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: or something. It's very I mean, I come from a

265
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: place where someone even if they expressed that they like

266
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: something and I don't like it, I just won't even

267
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: say anything. I just you know, I don't want to hurt.

268
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to step on a toe anywhere at

269
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: any point, which causes probably a great more deal more

270
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: trouble than it's worth.

271
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, it reminds me of I was listening to

272
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: Oprah has the Super Soul Sundays, right right, so I

273
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: think they haven't watched them. I haven't actually watched them,

274
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 3: but she siphons off that audio I believe for the

275
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 3: podcast version of that.

276
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: All right, Oh, smart.

277
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, talk about multitasking. She is the most brilliant marketer.

278
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: And she was having a conversation with Martha Beck, who is,

279
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: you know, the world renowned thought leader, sort of first

280
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: life coach, I suppose. And Martha apparently did an experiment

281
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 3: when she was twenty nine years old where she said

282
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: she was not going to lie at all, not even

283
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 3: tell any social white lies, right, And everybody was like, Martha,

284
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: you're fucking out of your mind. What are you doing?

285
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: Oh my god? And she did it, and she said

286
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 3: she lost a lot, but she changed so much more. Right,

287
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: people were because people are offended when you don't know

288
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: the socially acceptable line, I think, and some are anyway,

289
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: your boyfriend probably wouldn't be He probably know, Yeah, dude,

290
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: that's a good idea. Let's try it and be like,

291
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: oh god, where's the net. But I'm so intrigued by

292
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: this idea. I think it's so completely the opposite of

293
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: the way I was taught to move through the world

294
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: by my family.

295
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: Right for me, I'm just so untrained in it. It's

296
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: just like it's a difficulty of even modulating how you

297
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: tell the truth. It's like for me, it's zero or

298
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: sixty miles an hour. You know, it's like I'm either

299
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: just not to say anything, or I'm going to say

300
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: it in the harshest possible way and it will lead

301
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 2: to some sort of difficulty.

302
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 3: Sure, I was thinking, and while she didn't say so

303
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 3: in this particular interview, because they really were promoting her

304
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 3: shows a new book out, I thought, okay, well, if

305
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: you did it, obviously kindness would sort of be the

306
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 3: unspoken quality. I would hope that you would want to

307
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 3: try to imbue the messages with I mean, to your point,

308
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: not like, hey, listen, that is a fucking ugly dress

309
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 3: on you, as opposed to oh wow, I don't know

310
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 3: what you would say, I've never seen you in yellow,

311
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: or I really love you in blue? You know something positive.

312
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: Oh that's an interesting I think that's a really good strategy. Yeah,

313
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: I mean, just a nice just weaving around the truth basically, right.

314
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: Well, it in set of hitting them on the head

315
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: with a just sort of right tapping him on the

316
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 3: shoulder and saying, you ask my opinion. Instead of saying

317
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 3: you look like shitting yellow, I would say maybe it's good,

318
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 3: but you know, blue I just think is really your color.

319
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: But then you would have lied good if you really

320
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 3: thought that yellow is dreadful. It's complicated. It's complicated, Bridger.

321
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: I know. I think the solution is to just, you know,

322
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: lock yourself in your house, just shut out society, just

323
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 2: leave it all behind. And I don't know. And then meanwhile,

324
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: I'm being as harsh as possible on myself at all times.

325
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it makes there's I can't add any of

326
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: it up. It makes no sense. The way I live

327
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: my life is out of control.

328
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: I so get it. That separate set of rules for

329
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: yourself than you have for anyone else. That is, it's rough.

330
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: It's so not a way to live your life for

331
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 3: any of the young ones who are listening right, Yeah,

332
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: don't do it.

333
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 2: Figure it out before it's too late.

334
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: Yes, we're here to help me and Bridger.

335
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: What have you done during the pandemic. How have you

336
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: filled your time?

337
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 3: Well, the podcast Small Town Dicks. We're just finishing up

338
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: season eight.

339
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: Oh, it's so wild. You've got eight seasons of that show.

340
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 3: Well, we do about two seasons a year, and all

341
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 3: seasons have usually twelve to fourteen episodes per season. Such

342
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: a small team, and also all of the cases are

343
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 3: told by the detectives who investigated the case right right,

344
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: so you know, to get law enforcement, most of these

345
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: detectives are still working. You get them to give you

346
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 3: a day off to sit down with you. You know,

347
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 3: it's incredibly gracious of them, and so time sort of

348
00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 3: corraling all of those bodies and minds together can can

349
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 3: I always feel like a little bit like trying to

350
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: schedule the Queen of England. It's sometimes not easy. And

351
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 3: then we take the audio and our podcast we do

352
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 3: edit it. So again I feel as though, especially with

353
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 3: true crime and if you're telling these aren't cases that

354
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 3: most people have heard. These are cases, you know, big

355
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 3: time crime that happens in smalltown USA, so you probably

356
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: haven't heard it, so you probably want to follow it.

357
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 3: It's not something like, oh, I know about ed Geen,

358
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 3: or I know about you know Er or Zodiac or

359
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: wherever it is. So there's an unfamiliarity there. And so

360
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: my job, as when I edit on paper, is to

361
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: make sure that we cut out the fat, to make

362
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 3: sure that this story is told logically, but also that

363
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 3: you don't necessarily find out who the killer is in

364
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 3: the first two and a half minutes, because then oh, well,

365
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: I mean sometimes that's okay if there's a big payoff

366
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 3: for the why at the end, right any who, The

367
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 3: point is is that it's quite time consuming that part

368
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: of it. And then paper Clip, which is the production

369
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: development company they work. I have a business partner named

370
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: Ben Cornwall, who's fantastic. And then we have two guys

371
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: who work with us as well, Jordan and Nick. And

372
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 3: Nick actually does my Oil and Water series with me.

373
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so Nick shoots them. It's just him and

374
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 3: me in the kitchen. So oil and Water For your listeners,

375
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 3: you don't know?

376
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: Is this?

377
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 3: I call it dumb entertainment for troubling Times.

378
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: It's also what this podcast is called.

379
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 3: It is you know. I feel like the dumb entertainment

380
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 3: for troubling times is sometimes undervalued, absolutely, because sometimes you.

381
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: Just need a fucking break.

382
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

383
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: There are some TV shows I'm watching right now. I'm like,

384
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 2: I need three weeks between each episode. This is too

385
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 2: intense and I am not emotionally ready for this, which

386
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: ones Mayor of Eastown.

387
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah.

388
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: And then I started watching Underground Railroad, which is amazing,

389
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 2: but they're both just heavy shows to me. It's just

390
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 2: like in between I need House Hunters, I need Chopped.

391
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: I need absolute nonsense that my fragile emotional state can handle.

392
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, and Black Monday.

393
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: Oh, Black Monday. Yes, let's recommend Black Monday.

394
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 3: Let's do.

395
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: I think it's a very fun show. Yeah, look at

396
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: Yardleigh out here giving a promotion to the show I

397
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 2: write on this is pure class.

398
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 3: I think it's fantastic. We just started watching it and

399
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: it's so brilliant. It really is a great antidote to

400
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 3: so many things, you know, real life. But it's just

401
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: it's witty, it's fun, it's smart. I just really bravo.

402
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: You well, bravo David casp and Jordan Khan, they're the

403
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 2: creators of the show. I show up and say stupid

404
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 2: things and they do what they can with what I say,

405
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 2: and all the other wonderful people there. But let's get

406
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: back to Oil and Water.

407
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 3: So Oil and Water is actually not unlike Chopped, So

408
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 3: I sort of it's really a game, and in it

409
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 3: I cook. And each episode is only about six to

410
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 3: eight minutes long. So if you just bogged down or

411
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: you just need a little bathroom break, you can, you know,

412
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: take your iPhone to the bathroom and watch a Little

413
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: Oil and Water, And the premise is that I choose.

414
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 3: I have a bowl of sweet ingredients that are random

415
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 3: and blind, ball of savory ingredients random, blind, and bowl

416
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 3: of things like it's a cake, it's a pie, it's

417
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: a pandoudy, and I have to choose one sweet ingredient,

418
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 3: one savory ingredient, and then I have to make it

419
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: into the thing.

420
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: Right, And have you made anything that you've enjoyed?

421
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: Yes? Actually, so we just dropped an episode that was

422
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 3: a cupcake cherry tomato parfeit what Yes, Bridger, listen to me,

423
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 3: listen to me. So I did it with a strawberry

424
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 3: strawberry cupcake, strawberry cake, strawberry I sing, and a vanilla

425
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 3: vanilla cupcake. And then because I was gonna make the

426
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 3: fucking cupcake, like we have six minutes to put the

427
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: whole stupid thing together. Not that we shoot it in

428
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 3: six minutes, but you take my point. And so I

429
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 3: bought the cupcakes, saying the episode God made the tomatoes,

430
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 3: so I didn't have to do that.

431
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: That was good.

432
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 3: And then I decided to bring them together. I would

433
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 3: make a lemon custard. Oh, so I made the lemon

434
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: custard scratch because lemon goes well with strawberry and vanilla,

435
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 3: and also tomatoes and my hail mary, which I always

436
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 3: get a hail mary spice or ingredients or something to

437
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: try to bridge the gap between these disparate ingredients, the

438
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 3: sweet and savory. And I used fresh basil. And then

439
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 3: I mean I layered it like a trifle, right. I

440
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 3: cut the cupcake up, put it in a wine goblet,

441
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: put lemon custard on top, sprinkled sliced cherry tomatoes on top,

442
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 3: then some basil. Then and fuck me, it was so good.

443
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 3: It was so so good.

444
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: Now would you consider it a dessert or like a meal? See?

445
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: I would consider it dessert. And then at the end,

446
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: I was doing a rating sort of like on a

447
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: scale of one to garden party. Would you serve this

448
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: at your garden party? And the answer was yes, Oh

449
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 3: yes you would. And when people said, yeah, I'm not

450
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: sure I want tomatoes in my dessert, I'd be yes,

451
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 3: you do. Trust me. I'm your hostess. I expect you

452
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: to trust me and try it.

453
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 2: I feel like that's something I would be happy to try.

454
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: It was actually the thing the beauty of the tomatoes

455
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 3: was they were because they're cherry tomatoes, so they have

456
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 3: a pleasing sort of juicy but also crisp because the

457
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: skins are, you know, crisp. They had a pleasing antidote

458
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: to the very sweet frosting and the sweet lemon. And

459
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 3: then the basil was familiar to the tomato as well

460
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: as to the lemon.

461
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 2: And I feel like I've had basil with strawberries.

462
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, of course you have. You know, they'll Austin

463
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 3: do basil and mint together right over strawberries or peaches.

464
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 3: Even so, that one was fantastic. Others that have been terrible.

465
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: Actually did a fun episode where I had Detective Dan

466
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 3: as my guest chef. And because on our podcast we

467
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: don't tell you where the crimes take place, and we

468
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 3: change all the names, and Detective Dan and Dave we

469
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 3: don't reveal their last names. Dan wore a mask that

470
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 3: said I look like Dave because Dave's was identical. Twinn

471
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 3: and Dan got to pick the ingredients. It was the

472
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: Easter episode, okay, and we had pre determined that the thing. No,

473
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 3: the Dan got to pick the ingredients, and the thing

474
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 3: was random and it was a casserole, and Dan chose

475
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I can marry him for this. He

476
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: chose marshmallow peeps, candy bird and like meat sticks, the

477
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 3: sort of the slim gin beef.

478
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: You're kidding, those are not their own Oh.

479
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 3: My fucking god, oh breacher, Oh so the castrole in

480
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: order to buy them together. I thought, all right, at Thanksgiving,

481
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: you do a sweet potato casserole with marshmallow topping.

482
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: Right, of course, very.

483
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 3: Far, because the peeps are marshmallow at least marshmallow adjacent,

484
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: and the meat sticks are just what they are, smoked.

485
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, so I mashed, I roasted sweet potatoes.

486
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 3: We mashed them up. We put the meat sticks at

487
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 3: the bottom, then the mashed potatoes and the peeps on top,

488
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 3: and baked them. And oh my god, the peeps they melted.

489
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 3: First of all, they turned hard as a.

490
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: Rock, like, oh, that's not normal, not normal, that is

491
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: not normal for a marshmallows boon.

492
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 3: And it was like a tile. It was like a

493
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 3: bathroom tile.

494
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is going to be a big

495
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: decorating trend.

496
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 3: Yes, it was brutal. And the one peeps have a

497
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 3: little eye I made out of, you know, food coloring

498
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 3: because it doesn't have any dimension, and so you had

499
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 3: this mess of melted pink peeps and just one eye.

500
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: This sounds horrified.

501
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: It was so disgusting. I couldn't stop laughing, and we

502
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: actually tried to set it on a fire.

503
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: I'm surprised they didn't start on fire on its own.

504
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,719
Speaker 2: All of the ingredients there are very dangerous and bind

505
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: oh good grief.

506
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of swearing which gets bleeped out.

507
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: People enjoy it quite a bit, so I highly reckon.

508
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 3: It's good dumb entertainment for troubling text.

509
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: This is what the listener needs, this is what the

510
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: listener begs for. So, listener, you've got a new recommendation.

511
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: Seek that out now, Yardly, look, I speaking of surprises

512
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: and being upset with people, this kind of thing. You know,

513
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: I invited you on this podcast a few weeks ago

514
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: and you said you would, and I was just thrilled,

515
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: so excited Yardley's going to be on the podcast. We'll

516
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: have a nice time and move on with our days. That's,

517
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: you know, what I've been looking forward to. Then last

518
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: night I had been out and I got home and

519
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: Jim said, there's a box on the counter, and I thought,

520
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: oh god, what's happened. You know, I haven't ordered anything.

521
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. I left my boyfriend

522
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: alone at home, and something could have happened. I felt

523
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: a great deal of responsibility for this mysterious package coming

524
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: in and I inspected it and it was difficult to

525
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: tell what it was who had come from. But then

526
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: I figured it out. It's from you. Yes, Now the

527
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: podcast is called I said, no Gifts, and oh. What

528
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: we try to do here is create a respectful space

529
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: for both the guest and more so the host, where

530
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: both people feel safe and respected. And so it's a

531
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: little difficult for me. I mean, I mean, I am

532
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: making an assumption here. I'm assuming this is a gift

533
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: for me. Am I correct, it is you are.

534
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: I thought the show is called I said, hoe Gifts.

535
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: That is my you know, that's my dark web show

536
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 2: that's hosted exclusively on the dark Web. But this is

537
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 2: I said, no Gifts, And I'm just gonna put all

538
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: that aside. I'm going to ask you point blank here,

539
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: do you want me to open this here on the show?

540
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 2: I assure you, Okay, It's in a giant brown box

541
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: ship from FedEx and I've learned a lesson on a

542
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: recent episode to bring a scissor to the office rather

543
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 2: than chew through the tape or what have you. So

544
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna open this up. I would say it's maybe

545
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: like a foot by a foot in size. It's hard

546
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: to say, especially when you have spatial reasoning skills as

547
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 2: poor as mine. Say, okay, we're cutting through. Oh I

548
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: think okay, Okay, We've got a lot of packing peanuts.

549
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 3: Peanuts.

550
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: There's an envelope here that says miss Yardley Smith on it.

551
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 3: But you have to open the gift before you open the.

552
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: Open Okay, I'm gonna open Okay, So I'm going to

553
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 2: open get into the Let's get some of the packing

554
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: peanuts here. I don't know if a listenerill be able

555
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: to hear that that's something for me to clean up later.

556
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 3: I'm dropping them off to be like cheese doodles.

557
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: Oh, wouldn't that be nice to just be able to eat?

558
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: I mean that feels environmentally friendly. If you don't want them,

559
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: you can throw them to the birds. Absolutely, that's something

560
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,239
Speaker 2: that the manufacturing industry needs to get on as soon

561
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: as we have a lot of Titans of industry manufacturing,

562
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: especially listening to this podcast, take responsibility. Create an edible

563
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 2: packing peanut.

564
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 3: Yes please, okay, but no absurd flavors like meat steaks,

565
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 3: nothing like that. Don't smoke them.

566
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay. I'm pulling something out here and it's like

567
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: a little box with some sort of feather poking out

568
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 2: of it. What's happening here? This is a handle?

569
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: The feather is a handle.

570
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: What is this?

571
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 3: Well, it's like a little box that's a purse, but

572
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 3: there's something inside.

573
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 2: Oh I need to open this. Yes, oh okay, So

00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: cute little box purse.

576
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: With it like a feather boa handle, right, like.

00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: for my dog. She could wear it around the house.

581
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: That might be something I'll look into later this afternoon. Okay,

Speaker 2: bridget This is beautiful, But tell me more.

600
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 3: It's a pin of Lisa Simpson wearing a cape, flying

601
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 3: like Supergirl. And I so I first saw this pin,

602
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 3: and I think it was about nineteen ninety one, and

603
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 3: The Simpsons spun off into half hour in nineteen ninety

604
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: January nineteen ninety Actually the very first half hour episode

605
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 3: was Christmas eighty nine, but then The Ball, the remaining

606
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 3: mid season replacement was January nineteen ninety till the spring,

607
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 3: and we hit so big, so so big right out

608
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 3: of the gate, even though everybody had said, oh my god,

609
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 3: you can't put a cartoon on in primetime. It hasn't

610
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 3: been done since the Flintstones box is high. Who fucking cares.

611
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 3: The network won't be around any longer anyway, and the

612
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 3: Simpsons are going to last twelve more episodes and that'll

613
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 3: be it. So the following year they really started to

614
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 3: roll out the merchandise, T shirts everywhere, every every everything.

615
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 3: Simpsons was on everything, but not a lot of Lisa merchandise,

616
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 3: A lot of bart right and then a lot of Homer,

617
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 3: but very very little of the female characters. So I

618
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 3: was in a little shop and I don't know why,

619
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 3: because I don't collect comics or anything, but I was.

620
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 3: I feel like I was in a little souvenir shop

621
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 3: in Hollywood, and I you know how they have, you know,

622
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 3: the license plates with your name on it will.

623
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 2: Never yet, no the courses you've had the name wise,

624
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 2: I get a Bridget, Oh a Bridget.

625
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 3: Well, sometimes people think my name is Ashley, so I guess.

626
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: That would be the closest, not enough, good enough.

627
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 3: To buy it, not Ashley. So so I saw these pin.

628
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 3: I saw this pin and I was like, oh my god,

629
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 3: and there was about fifteen of them, so.

630
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 2: I bought them all.

631
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 3: And then I went back to the studio store at

632
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 3: twentieth Century Fox where we record the Simpsons, and I said,

633
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 3: do you have this pin? And they had another I

634
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: don't know, five or so, and I was like okay.

635
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 3: And then I went to the production I said where

636
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 3: can I get more of these? I need them all?

637
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 3: And they were like, oh no, that's it, we just

638
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 3: no more. And I was like, oh no, this can't

639
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 3: be so on the down low, I actually did my

640
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 3: own run of the pin.

641
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 2: What you're up at Simpson's boot.

642
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,479
Speaker 3: Like, cause we're just highgal. Of course, I never sold them,

643
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 3: but I and they were made in Germany and they're

644
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 3: they're perfect replica and I love them and I have

645
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 3: a I still have probably I think they did a

646
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 3: run of a thousand, because of course they were like,

647
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: well lady, you got it, you know right right? You

648
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 3: can't just have ten. So and so now I still

649
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 3: have a probably a nice handful left. But they're very

650
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 3: very special. You can't get them anywhere, and I just

651
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 3: love them.

652
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 2: You've put a target on my back. I have like

653
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: this extremely limited edition Simpson's merchandise. My home is going

654
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 2: to be broken into. This is the next episode of

00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 2: Small Town Dicks. Yes, oh pre sure this is all

00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 3: I promised. Just saying your praises on the podcast when you're.

658
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:49,040

Speaker 2: about the Simpsons. I mean I think first you have

662
00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: to read the card. Oh okay, fantastic, Okay, let me first.

663
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 3: I just want to I just want to tell you

664
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 3: that Laura Lappis gave you thank you notes. Yes, of course,

665
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 3: So I feel like I've gone I've taken it one

666
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 3: step further.

667
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: Oh, let me see. Okay, I'm going to read this.

668
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: This is wait, this is dear Yardley.

669
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 3: I've written a thank you note for you.

670
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 2: Oh my okay, Deer Yardley. Thank you for the charming

671
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: Flying Lisa Pin, even though you disobeyed me. The show

672
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 2: is called I said, no gifts. I do like that

673
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 2: the Pin is contraband that people can't just saunter down

674
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 2: to the seven to eleven on York and get one.

675
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: Oh wow. I was also pleasantly surprised by our chat

676
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 2: let's see. I guess I should know better than to

677
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: believe everything I read on Wikipedia. Your Wikipedia, by the way,

678
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 2: just devastating. Just this. This woman is a monster. That's

679
00:38:54,160 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: the first line of her Wikipedia. You're really very charming

680
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: and funny and much prettier on Zoom than you are

681
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: on TV. I don't even mean that the way it sounds.

682
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: I'm being honest with you, which is much nicer. Finally,

683
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 2: if you even have anything new to promote, and I

684
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 2: don't mean season seventy nine of The Simpsons, I'd love

685
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: to have you on the podcast again, next time in person,

686
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 2: when I'll probably find out you're not as tall as

687
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 2: you look on TV. Either JK. Warm, Regards Bridge or Wineger.

688
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 2: I need every guest to do this. I would love

689
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 2: to have a script sent to me from the beginning

690
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: of the episode. I just read it aloud, and then

691
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: we turn off the recording and I move on with

692
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: my life. This is lovely. I mean, I mean, we

693
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 2: have some very like we have details here about my

694
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 2: local seven eleven. I mean, everything about this is truly perfect.

695
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: I really appreciate this. You know, sometimes you're at a

696
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 2: loss for words about the gift, and you need the

697
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: guests to just say, this is how you should feel.

698
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I had so many gifts because so

699
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 3: many people disobey you. I just wanted to take one

700
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 3: more task off your hands. Now, all you have to

701
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 3: do is send it. And actually the envelope says by

702
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 3: a messenger cod so you don't even have to pay

703
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: for the messenger.

704
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 2: This will be arriving in your mailbox and it'll be

705
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: sealed with a kiss, as all of my envelopes are.

706
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 2: And I'm just thrilled that you've just taken a lot

707
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 2: of work. Look, I'm a very busy man. I don't

708
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 2: need another chore in my life.

709
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 3: And I'm saying that I feel that about.

710
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 2: You, especially now that I'm you know, going to be

711
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 2: hunted down by some Simpsons fanatic. There's one out there.

712
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: I know they're coming for me. These there are. You know,

713
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 2: if any show has a fan that's going to that's

714
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 2: been following it and looking for the merchandise this long,

715
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 2: it's the Simpsons.

716
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 3: It's that you know, you could wear it on the

717
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 3: underside of your lapel and then it would just sort

718
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 3: of be your own little secret or your cattle secret.

719
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 2: I like a little secret. This is so beautiful. My god,

720
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 2: I'm just thrilled about this isn't great.

721
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 3: I just love it. I mean, it's just such a

722
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 3: great symbol of her resilience and joy and grace and

723
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 3: empathy and all the best things that we want to

724
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 3: be as human.

725
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: Beings, right, and that Lisa. I mean, in the Simpsons,

726
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 2: I think Lisa and Marge are the two characters you

727
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 2: look to to make the right choice and who are

728
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 2: also but aren't just kind of dour, you know, like

729
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 2: kill joys. They're super fun. I mean, God, bless Bart

730
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 2: and Homer. I'm in the show for Lisa. I'm in

731
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 2: the show for Marge. I don't care what anybody else

732
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 2: has to say. But that's a really interesting thing you

733
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: bring up that, like initially that I mean, and it's

734
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 2: probably true now even that Bart merchandise is probably still

735
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 2: the main thing. I mean, as a woman on the show,

736
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 2: has that been an ongoing experience for you?

737
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 3: I mean, like, oh yes, And you know, I feel

738
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 3: like I actually don't quite understand it because I feel

739
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 3: as though, at this point now where we've just started

740
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 3: recording season thirty three, four thousand, Switch is insane. We

741
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 3: have over seven hundred episodes. Wow, it really is. I

742
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 3: mean obviously, well, I don't think we'll ever see anything

743
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 3: like this again in scripted primetime, you know, So it is.

744
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 3: It's there are so many people that identify with Lisa Simpson.

745
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 3: Who who when at least when they meet me, when

746
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 3: they find out I do Lisa Simpson, or if they

747
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 3: recognize me and they say, oh my god, you got

748
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 3: me through a really hard time, or my daughter plays

749
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 3: saxophone because of you, or you know, i'd love Lisa's

750
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 3: sense of humor, or any number of things that they

751
00:42:54,560 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't recognize that there's a legitimate fan base that little

752
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 3: girl who wears the red strapless dressed to school.

753
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

754
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's bizarre to me that they haven't, But they

755
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 3: just don't. They don't really load into Lisa merch, which

756
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 3: is sad because she's so cute.

757
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's adorable, so swilling, did I know?

758
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 3: And I really feel about her as though she is

759
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: a living, breathing sentient being like you and I. She's

760
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 3: so real to me.

761
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, totally. I mean she's been alive for how

762
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: many years? Thirty years?

763
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 3: Well, and honestly, if you have the Tracy Yellmon Show

764
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 3: two seasons there as well. So I think I've been

765
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 3: doing Lisa Simpsons since nineteen eighty seven. Were you ben born?

766
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: I was. I'm eighty five years old.

767
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 3: I'm ninety three.

768
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 2: I was, but I wasn't allowed to. I mean, I

769
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 2: was pretty young when the show started, and my famly,

770
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 2: I mean, I grew up Mormon, like my family was

771
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 2: one of these families was like, we're not watching the Simpsons,

772
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 2: which is still I look back, I'm like, The Simpsons

773
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 2: is such a mild show. I mean, I think people

774
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 2: were just so shocked that a cartoon would say anything

775
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 2: that wasn't just for kids.

776
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 3: Right and well, and because it was never written for kids,

777
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 3: but the cartoon aspect of it of course made everybody

778
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 3: assume right out of the gate that it was for children.

779
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 3: But what's interesting is because I remember also when George H. W.

780
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 3: Bush said, we need more families like the Waltons and

781
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 3: less like the Simpsons. And the thing that he missed

782
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 3: about our show was despite the dysfunction, despite the things

783
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 3: that go wrong, despite the way that they actually express

784
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 3: themselves often in ways that you and I never learned

785
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 3: to do and aren't comfortable doing, they really deeply love

786
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 3: each other. Yes, there is great love and devotion there,

787
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 3: and so there's no malice. I guess it's it's you know,

788
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 3: even as they as Bart acts out, it's not out

789
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 3: of malice. It is out of you know, he's a ten.

790
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 2: Year old boy just being who he is. Yeah, and

791
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: so they learn to figure it out together.

792
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 3: Yeah. But I mean, you listen to my detective dad

793
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 3: is Actually it's so funny. He's a huge hip hop fan,

794
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 3: like yeah, like he knows all the lyrics to everything.

795
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 3: And I always say, the only place, the only two

796
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 3: places that the age difference between us shows up, which

797
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 3: is eleven years, is work and music. Oh, decade of music,

798
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 3: of course can be completely different, so much can change.

799
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 3: And he he still loves hip hop. But you listen

800
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 3: to that then, and then you listen to some of

801
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 3: the you know music now in any genre that has lyrics,

802
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 3: and you're like, oh my god, oh my god, it

803
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 3: makes me feel like a pretty old lady.

804
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 2: What sort of music do you listen? What's your like

805
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: main go to with music?

806
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 3: Well, I actually we didn't grow up listening to music,

807
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 3: although my parents really loved classical music. Sure, so on

808
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 3: the rare occasion that we would have music on in

809
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 3: the house, it would be a lot of Bach, a

810
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 3: lot of Mozart. My father liked opera. But when I'm

811
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 3: in the gym, my secret sauce is eighties hair metal.

812
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 2: Oh that's great workout music, absolutely. I mean that music

813
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 2: is nothing if not for that for working out, I

814
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 2: would never want.

815
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 3: To go to a concert. It's like too much century sensation,

816
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 3: I think for me. But I love it in the gym.

817
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 3: I just love it. Sometimes I like it when I drive,

818
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,479
Speaker 3: although now driving I listen to podcasts all.

819
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: The time, so oh right right, yeah, my podcast listening

820
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: with my I mean I haven't driven that much in

821
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 2: the pandemics of my podcast listening, but my afternoon walks

822
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 2: have gone through the roof, and that's when I'll listen

823
00:46:59,000 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: to a podcast.

824
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, So, which is good because you want to

825
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 3: keep up with your favorite podcasts, which makes you go

826
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 3: on a walk because you aren't going anywhere else. So

827
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 3: I feel like it's win win for us.

828
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 2: Bridger, Yeah, Simpson, going back to Lisa Simpson for a minute,

829
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 2: Like those first two years or so on the Tracy

830
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 2: Almond Show, do you feel like you changed as the

831
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 2: way you portrayed Lisa at all or did as it

832
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 2: felt pretty consistent the entire run.

833
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 3: Well, it was the first two years of Lisa Simpson

834
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 3: when we were on the Tracy Almond Show. I really

835
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 3: was just a sort of Brady foil for Bart. And

836
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 3: we told a whole story in a minute. I think

837
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 3: they were about or maybe it might have been a

838
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 3: minute and a half. But the point is before every

839
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 3: commercial break there would be a little thirty seconds twenty

840
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 3: seconds of the Simpsons, right, and so the stories were very,

841
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 3: very simple, and it mostly was Bart and Homer because

842
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 3: Bart was an anagram for brat and the and the

843
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,959
Speaker 3: brat was Matt, Matt gret right right, right right. Because

844
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 3: he named all the other characters after his family members.

845
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:11,959
Speaker 3: He has a sister, Maggie. His sister Lisa amazing, she's

846
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 3: a teacher, she's so lovely. His mother's name was Margaret,

847
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 3: and his father's name was Homer, and his grandfather's name

848
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 3: was Abe, So Abe's wild.

849
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the way to get good character names.

850
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 3: Although, now, of course the show being so successful, you're like,

851
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 3: does your family feel like you ruined their lives?

852
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, Maggie can just be a normal Maggie. At

853
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 2: this point, no Marche can be a Marge.

854
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,959
Speaker 3: So it wasn't until we spun off to half hour

855
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 3: that James L. Brooks is our executive producer, decided that

856
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 3: Lisa Simpson should be a prodigy. He wanted her to

857
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 3: be a saxophone prodigy. He wanted her to be also

858
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 3: a prodigy in a school like super Smart, so that

859
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 3: she was the black sheep, was the outlier, and she

860
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 3: possessed an emotional intelligence that I have heard all of

861
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 3: our writers are particularly attached to because they're all like you.

862
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 3: They were all, you know, the smartest people in the

863
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 3: room when they were growing up. They excelled at I mean,

864
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 3: one of our showrunners was a physics major at Harvard

865
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 3: when he was seventeen, sixteen or something that al Jean,

866
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, super ridiculously fucking smart and

867
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 3: so and I feel like any time as a young

868
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 3: person you excel at anything, whether it's math or sports

869
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 3: or in my case, I did a lot of school

870
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 3: plays and I got a lot of attention for it.

871
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 3: It sets you apart from your peer group, right, which

872
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 3: is incredibly difficult when you live in this dichotomy of

873
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 3: wanting to stand out and wanting to blend in. You

874
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 3: want to be able to sort of like fame. You

875
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 3: want to be able to have your choice, like I

876
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 3: only want to stand out here this day, at this time, right, but.

877
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 2: I also want all of the other things, right.

878
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 3: So that was how Lisa evolved. There were a few

879
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 3: benchmarks that had now been laid when we went to

880
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 3: half hour, and I think that those things have remained

881
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 3: really firmly in place and sort of if I liken

882
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 3: it too. When the Simpsons started, it was drawn and

883
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 3: painted by hand, right, and then they literally stopped making

884
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 3: the material, which is the cell for cell phane that

885
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 3: all animation was painted on. They literally stopped making it.

886
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 3: So we were one of the last shows to go

887
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 3: to computer animation. One of the benefits where you lost

888
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 3: some things. One of the benefits you get with computer

889
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 3: animation is you get they literally call it, I think,

890
00:50:58,880 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 3: a billion colors.

891
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Lisa Simpson.

892
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 3: If she started out with a million colors with those

893
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 3: benchmarks in place, now as she's grown, she sort of

894
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 3: has a billion colors.

895
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 2: Wow, that's incredible. Now as of like you've obviously you're

896
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 2: extremely well known as Lisa Simpson but like, do you

897
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 2: feel like when you call for a pizza or whatever?

898
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 2: People are like, do you get bothered?

899
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 3: I do sometimes I get recognized. Back in the day

900
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 3: before you could do everything online and never actually have

901
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 3: to have any human.

902
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,320
Speaker 2: Contact, right, I like that I referenced call for a

903
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 2: pizza like it's nineteen ninety seven.

904
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 3: I was gonna say when I used to call to

905
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 3: make an airplane reservation, I mean the same thing, right,

906
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 3: And I would be on the phone and they would say,

907
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 3: because that would take a while if you were if

908
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 3: you remember, I mean, making a plane reservation could take

909
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 3: fucking forever.

910
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 2: So hell, they.

911
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 3: Would say, as they're typing away waiting for somebody to

912
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 3: come up on the computer on their end, they would say,

913
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 3: I just have to ask something. You sound so familiar.

914
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 3: You sound like that girl. And sometimes they would name

915
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 3: a movie like I've done a bunch of movies that

916
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 3: are called favorites now, like Maximum Overdrive and Legend of

917
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 3: Billy Jean and stuff like that. But sometimes they would say,

918
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 3: you sound like that girl on the Simpsons. Are you

919
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 3: part Simpson? I'm like, oh no, I'm Lisa Simpson, but yes,

920
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 3: I have such a this is me and physic Lisa

921
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 3: Simpson and you can see.

922
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 2: Wow part Well, that's a pretty impressive impression.

923
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny. Princher. I was over at a

924
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:40,439
Speaker 3: friend's last Sunday and she has a six year old

925
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 3: and a six year old had a friend over and

926
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,919
Speaker 3: a friend had been told that I do the voice

927
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 3: of Lisa Simpson. So the six year old, who's actually

928
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 3: my business partner's daughter, says, Yardley, will you do the voice?

929
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 3: And so I'm like, I think the girl's name was Cora.

930
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 3: The other girl said, Hi, Kara, it's least the Sampson

931
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,959
Speaker 3: and she sizes me up and she goes, that's pretty good,

932
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh.

933
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 2: Thanks, you might almost be able to do it right.

934
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 3: Maybe you could get better between now and the next record.

935
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 2: It don't fire you. Good luck, Jesus. I will also

936
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 2: say one of my favorite roles you've had. It was

937
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 2: a smaller thing, but on Madmen it was one of

938
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,720
Speaker 2: my maybe my favorite guest star of that entire series.

939
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 2: Saying you, it's just like, oh my god, she's so

940
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. Anytime I see you outside of the Simpsons,

941
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm delighted. Thank you. That's very fun. Well, this is

942
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 2: very exciting. I'm excited to have this little pin, and

943
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 2: you know I've got to keep it safe somehow.

944
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 3: But nice for forgiving me. I've now put your life

945
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 3: in danger and pissed you off because I disobeyed you.

946
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 2: Not just a tornado of emotions. I think we should

947
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,439
Speaker 2: play a game. You don't play a game. Yes, Okay,

948
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you a choice. There's a game called

949
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,919
Speaker 2: Gift Master. There's a game called Gift to a Curse.

950
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 2: I'll tell you how they work once you pick.

951
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to go with Gift Master.

952
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:13,720
Speaker 2: Okay, I need a number between one and ten. Seven. Okay,

953
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 2: seven is the number. I have to do some calculating

954
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 2: while i'm doing this. You can promote something, you can

955
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 2: recommend something, you can do whatever you want. I will

956
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 2: be right back. Oh okay, Yardley, you have the mic

957
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 2: and you are in control.

958
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 3: All right, Okay, all right. Well I've actually been thinking

959
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 3: a lot about cognitive redirection, so bear with me for

960
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,479
Speaker 3: a second. So there's listeners, lovely listeners of Bridger's brilliant show.

961
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 3: There is a thing where almost every woman I know,

962
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 3: including myself, when we in the before times, certainly and

963
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 3: probably in the when we get back to those times

964
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 3: some version of that sort of normal again, when we

965
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 3: gather and your friends say hi, and you slide into

966
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 3: the chair at the restaurant and you say I feel

967
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 3: so fat today. Like if I had a dime for

968
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 3: every time I've said that, or any number of my

969
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 3: friends have said that, we'd all be billionaires. So what

970
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 3: if instead of sliding into that chair and saying I

971
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 3: feel so fat today, you slide into the chair and

972
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,959
Speaker 3: say I feel so beautiful today. And I've been thinking

973
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 3: about this and the amount of the number of just

974
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 3: first of all, the horror that because of the way

975
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 3: I was brought up, that I would actually say something

976
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 3: that braggadocious, that affirming, that joyful, that all of the

977
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 3: things that were just none of those, none of that

978
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 3: kind of affirmation or joy were valued in my upbring

979
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 3: And again it's not that they wanted us to be

980
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 3: miserable at all. It just was like the pursuit of

981
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 3: happiness was secondary to your measure of productivity, and that

982
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 3: your value was how much you had accomplished in any

983
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 3: given day over the course of a lifetime, what your

984
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 3: particular job was. And so now when I hear myself

985
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 3: in my head say I feel so fat today. I'm

986
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 3: trying to counter that literally with another voice in my

987
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 3: head saying I feel so beautiful today, and it's very hard.

988
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 2: Yardly, I'm so mad that I was doing my job

989
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 2: while you were saying that, because I feel like you

990
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 2: were saying something important that I could take into my

991
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 2: own life. And meanwhile I'm calculating game pieces. But fortunately

992
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 2: I'll be able to go back and during editing and

993
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 2: hopefully learn something for myself. The listener just gets off

994
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 2: this for free. It's disgusting.

995
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 3: It's disgusting. It's very gracious of you, very gracious.

996
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 2: I'm doing a lot. This is basically community service at

997
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 2: this point, and it makes me sick. Okay, this is

998
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 2: how the game works. I'm gonna name three potential gifts

999
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,399
Speaker 2: things you can give away, and then I'm gonna name

1000
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 2: three famous people, celebrities, this kind of thing. You're gonna

1001
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 2: tell me which gift you're gonna give which person? Does

1002
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 2: that make sense? Yes?

1003
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 3: And then are there consequences if I get it wrong?

1004
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 3: And is there a wrong?

1005
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 2: No, there's no wrong in this game. The other game

1006
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 2: there are you know, there are wrong answers and people

1007
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 2: have been career careers have been ruined. Let's just say that.

1008
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 3: I know I actually remember that because I do listen

1009
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 3: to your podcast and I was, oh, yeah, I don't

1010
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 3: think I want gift or curse.

1011
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 2: This game is purely, you know, the safest possible, enjoyable

1012
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 2: time for everyone. Okay, these are the gifts you're going

1013
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 2: to be giving away. Number one is a motor home.

1014
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 2: Number two you will be giving away seventy pounds of

1015
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 2: bird seed. And number three, the third gift is a

1016
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 2: circular saw, so you know, a big you know, one

1017
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 2: of those saws that's kind of a rotating place, right, yes,

1018
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 2: and you're going to be giving them to the following people.

1019
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 2: The following people are Martin Screlly. Is that he's pronounce

1020
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 2: that guy's name, the pharma exec. That's just kind of horrible.

1021
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:18,479
Speaker 2: Oh that guy? Yeah, yes, you know, I've never taken

1022
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 2: the time to learn how to pronounce his last name.

1023
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 2: Why bother, Why bother? Number two Riba McIntyre, Country Great,

1024
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 2: Riba McIntyre. And number three is Tom Hardy. You know

1025
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 2: who I'll just say is a heart throb.

1026
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 3: I love Tom Hardy.

1027
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 2: If you don't love Tom Hardy, I don't know what

1028
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 2: to tell you.

1029
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that guy. Okay, so I have I

1030
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,959
Speaker 3: have seventy pounds of bird set to have a circular saw.

1031
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 3: And what's the other?

1032
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 2: A motor home? Oh, a home r V sort of okay,

1033
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 2: situation in Winnebago. Are those all the same thing?

1034
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, because it's sort of my worst nightmare.

1035
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 2: But I'd love to see you driving a motor hole.

1036
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you. I actually had a very had an exotic car.

1037
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 3: If I had known it was literally classified as an

1038
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 3: exotic car, I never would have gotten it because I

1039
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 3: just don't need that. I just like don't get a shit.

1040
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 3: But the men in my life were like, oh my god,

1041
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 3: yard leadest car, so fantastic. It was an aston Martin.

1042
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, okay, all right, here's the problem.

1043
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 2: Several problems.

1044
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 3: One, I was actually too short to comfortably see over

1045
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 3: the dashboard and the steering wheel because the seat was

1046
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 3: so bucketed and I am we and I was like,

1047
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 3: oh no, So I toyed with, you know, a phone

1048
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 3: book and sort of sweaters under my bum and all

1049
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 3: sorts of things. Never really worked out a comfortable solution.

1050
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 3: The second thing was which was really a non starter

1051
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 3: and which I didn't figure out because I just don't

1052
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 3: care about cars, and so I didn't do my due diligence.

1053
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 3: I guess was it had no trunk latch. Oh not

1054
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 3: what So how am I when I go to the

1055
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 3: supermarket and my arms are full of groceries? Am I

1056
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 3: fucking getting get the trunk open? There's no trunk latch.

1057
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 3: You had to open the driver's side door, push a

1058
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 3: button on the little you know arm wrest. That's where

1059
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 3: the trunk latch was.

1060
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 2: This car is exclusively for putting a body in the trunk.

1061
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 2: This is not for you know, day to day.

1062
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 3: I mean it was so obviously, which I found out

1063
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 3: too late, a car if you have another car. It

1064
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 3: was like, oh, I'm so fancy I have a weekend

1065
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 3: cook and I'm just not that girl. So I was like,

1066
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 3: oh shit, So I had to give it up, and you, okay,

1067
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 3: win a bag. Well, Reba McIntyre doesn't need a murder

1068
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 3: home because I'm sure she has a fleet and they're all.

1069
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 2: Trip access right, So yeah, totally.

1070
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 3: I really want to give the bird seed to Martin

1071
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 3: buck Face, because first of all, I think he'd be

1072
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 3: super mad to get seventy pounds of bird seed and that.

1073
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 3: But first I would clear out all of his cupboards.

1074
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 3: All he had left was seventy pounds of bird seed.

1075
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 3: And then I would poke a little hole in the bag,

1076
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 3: several little holes, so that when he brought it in

1077
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 3: or tried to move it out of his apartment or

1078
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 3: house wherever.

1079
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 2: He is, he's in prison, Oh well, then he.

1080
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 3: Could leave a little trail. I think he is too.

1081
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 3: But if he's in you know, wherever he is, I'm

1082
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 3: pretty sure he doesn't want to draw that kind of

1083
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 3: attention to himself. Prisoners would not appreciate a trail or

1084
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 3: a pile of bird seed. Martin was a bird seed.

1085
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 3: I think that. I mean, the obvious answer is to

1086
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 3: give Tom Hardy the circular saw. But you know, I

1087
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 3: feel as though he's probably used that in a in

1088
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 3: a movie as a one of his bad guys. So

1089
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 3: he doesn't want that. He wants to see things, he

1090
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 3: wants to, you know, drive around whatever continent he's on.

1091
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 3: We could ship the Winnebago slash motor home to him wherever,

1092
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 3: of course, can handle that wherever the dream is, you know,

1093
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 3: unless it's like in a toll in the multiple and

1094
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 3: then you sort of, well, Doe, you're not going to

1095
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 3: probably get very far. You might just right just be

1096
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,919
Speaker 3: careful of high tide. I don't think it floats, It's

1097
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 3: not amphibious. So I'm going to give Tom Hardy the

1098
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 3: motor home because I think he would absolutely love it,

1099
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 3: and I bet he would decorate it inside with some

1100
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 3: fantastic sort of either a museum of really eclectic kitsch

1101
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 3: that he had collected around his travels or some specific

1102
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 3: period of time that he he's a big fan of

1103
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 3: that he always wanted to live in, and so now

1104
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 3: he just takes it with him wherever he goes.

1105
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 2: I really love this traveling music.

1106
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 3: Yes, so he gets that, and RIBA's going to get

1107
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 3: the circular saw. And I actually would not be at

1108
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 3: all surprised if Riba was pretty handy around the house.

1109
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 3: Now it's whether or not, right whether or not she

1110
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 3: really enjoys the DIY, but I bet she does. She

1111
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 3: just seems like a hands on, let's fucking get her

1112
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 3: done kind of woman, you know, And she's not going

1113
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 3: to wait around for some dude to show up with

1114
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 3: his circular saw and fix whatever. She's going to be

1115
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 3: like I got it. It's all good. I am busy.

1116
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 3: So Reba gets the circular saw.

1117
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 2: That makes pert. I mean that was I mean, the

1118
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 2: way those pieces fell together was perfect. I mean you

1119
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 2: start with the bird seed Martin Screlly opening that in

1120
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 2: the middle of prison and just being humiliated, and then

1121
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 2: things just fall into play. It was so perfect. I

1122
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 2: really appreciate that gift giving skill there.

1123
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 3: I'm actually a pretty good gift giver, although I don't

1124
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 3: I only give gifts if I feel like it really

1125
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 3: is perfect for you. I do not like I don't

1126
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 3: exchange gifts on my birthday or Christmas unless I find something.

1127
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 3: But if I find it in October I might just

1128
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 3: give it to you in October and not waiting.

1129
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 2: That's a really interesting philosophy on gifts.

1130
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 3: Why not? But I don't need any more stuff, so

1131
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 3: I really have. Finally, it's taken decades. I mean, I'm

1132
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 3: fifty six. It has taken decades to teach everyone that

1133
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 3: it's not false modesty, a sort of oh look gifts,

1134
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 3: Oh yes, come herether with the gifts. I know.

1135
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 2: So I feel like you're trying to say something right now, ardly,

1136
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 2: message loud and clear.

1137
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 3: I'm here.

1138
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 2: No, No, I totally get what you're I mean, I'm

1139
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 2: similar where I'm like unless I don't like people. I mean,

1140
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 2: there's just no once you're an adult, no need. Getting

1141
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 2: gifts is almost always pointless.

1142
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 3: And I'm very, very difficult to buy for.

1143
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 2: And I appreciate that.

1144
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 3: Like, Honestly, if I truly want something, like I really

1145
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 3: love clothes and I have a few pieces of nice jewelry,

1146
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 3: I probably would get it for myself. So I honestly

1147
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 3: I don't want you to stress over it, and I

1148
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 3: don't need that to be the symbol of Oh now

1149
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 3: I know you love me. Oh no, trust me.

1150
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 2: Hopefully there are some other signs that you love me

1151
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 2: outside of things. Yes, can you remember any recent great

1152
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 2: gifts you've given or received?

1153
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 3: Oh? My assistant Aaron, who have had for I think

1154
01:05:56,360 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 3: we've I've had her for about fifteen years now. He's

1155
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 3: the only system I've ever had, and she's fantastic. I

1156
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 3: really love her. And she invited me last summer to

1157
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 3: go play pickleball with her. Oh, I'd never played pickle

1158
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 3: I don't even know what the fuck pickleball was.

1159
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 2: Is that the one with the paddles?

1160
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 3: Yes, it's basically life size ping pong is what it

1161
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:27,439
Speaker 3: feels like. So it's a shortened tennis court looking sort

1162
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 3: of court, right, and then you play with a whiffle

1163
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 3: ball and paddle. So anyway, I loved it so much.

1164
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 3: So for my birthday last year, she got me pickleball

1165
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 3: paddles and two which is so fun and so great.

1166
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 3: Of course I haven't used them yet, but.

1167
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 2: But it's the sort of thing you would have never

1168
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 2: considered buying yourself ever your mind.

1169
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh, I'm trying to think, have I given

1170
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 3: a gift that's good?

1171
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 2: No, well, you just gave me this beautiful pin.

1172
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 3: I did. I did I have a I don't have

1173
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 3: a lot of Simpson's merch. I do have one room

1174
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 3: in my house that's covered floor to season ceiling in

1175
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 3: Simpson's cells.

1176
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 2: Oh no way, Oh that's beautiful.

1177
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 3: And amazing, and I still have.

1178
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 2: I have quite a.

1179
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 3: Collection actually, which of course we have to buy, but

1180
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:31,479
Speaker 3: that's all right.

1181
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't get an employee discount.

1182
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 3: Do get an employee discount. But people think, like, oh

1183
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:40,439
Speaker 3: my god, that's so great. They just gave you those.

1184
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, And so they're quite hard to come

1185
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 3: by now because there aren't that many left because we

1186
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 3: stopped obviously having physical cells. I think it was season

1187
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 3: fourteen or something, and now we're on season thirty three.

1188
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 3: So I gave my business partner as Simpson cell for Christmas.

1189
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 2: Oh That's beautiful, which.

1190
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 3: Was very which was cool. He was happy about that.

1191
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 2: What was the What was on the cell?

1192
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 3: It was from one of my favorite episodes called Lisa

1193
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 3: on Ice, Oh Sure, which is such a great episode

1194
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 3: where Lisa we find out she's actually a really good

1195
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 3: hockey goalie and she's on opposite teams with from Bart

1196
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 3: and I love that show. It's written by one of

1197
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 3: our showrunners at the time named Mike Scully, who's a

1198
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 3: huge hockey fan. I love every I love the sibling

1199
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 3: rivalry between Bart Lisa, and I love it when they take,

1200
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:44,799
Speaker 3: really when they take any character out of their comfort zone.

1201
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 3: So when they make Lisa Simpson either really bad at

1202
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,679
Speaker 3: something that she's used to because she's used to being

1203
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 3: good at everything right right, or make her really good

1204
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 3: at something where she's never good at that thing, such

1205
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 3: as sports, and so they do that really beautifully.

1206
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 2: This actually reminds me I have one more question about

1207
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 2: Lisa Simpson. Have you ever tried playing the saxophone yourself. No,

1208
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 2: actually never, no, temptly don't like the saxophone very much.

1209
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 2: So perfect this is going to get the show canceled.

1210
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:17,879
Speaker 2: This is the thing that cancels the Simpson.

1211
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:25,639
Speaker 3: Oh god, I did take them. I took piano lessons

1212
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 3: when I was really really young, and then I started

1213
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 3: again when I was like thirty, and I played for

1214
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 3: about four years and I actually got pretty good. But

1215
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 3: here's the thing, and here's so, here's why, back to

1216
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 3: the we have a separate set of rules for ourselves

1217
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 3: and we have for everyone else. So one of the

1218
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 3: reasons I took piano was that I wanted to be

1219
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 3: able to go wherever, break out at any piano and

1220
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 3: just play from Yes, I wanted to go to nord

1221
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 3: Stow and play the piano. I know exactly what you're

1222
01:09:55,960 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 3: talking about. And what I found out after the fact

1223
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 3: was that there are usually two kinds of musicians. There

1224
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:06,759
Speaker 3: are the ones that read music and then the ones

1225
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 3: that learn it by wrote. And I wanted to be

1226
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 3: the one that learned the learned it by wrote. And

1227
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 3: I was the kind of person who read music. So

1228
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,719
Speaker 3: I if I didn't have my music with me, there's

1229
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 3: no fucking I was. There was no chance I was

1230
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 3: going to sit down at Northtrum and play for the people.

1231
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:25,640
Speaker 3: That was not happening. And I was so discouraged by that.

1232
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 3: And I and now in retrospect, like you are, what

1233
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 3: is wrong with you?

1234
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:30,679
Speaker 2: Yardley?

1235
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 3: Like what is that set of standards that because it

1236
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 3: didn't turn out exactly the way you planned, you were

1237
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,800
Speaker 3: unable to find pure joy in it? And that's actually

1238
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 3: been a theme of my whole life, where I had

1239
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 3: such a specific idea of what my success would look

1240
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 3: like from the time I was about five and then

1241
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 3: it is, even as successful as I've been, it didn't

1242
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 3: look anything like like it does like the life that

1243
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 3: I live. And for many years I felt like, well,

1244
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:06,759
Speaker 3: I guess it doesn't really count. I mean, it's really

1245
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 3: it's a great loss, I think. And now of course

1246
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 3: I've been able to re sort of reframe that, but

1247
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,839
Speaker 3: it took me forever, right, I think.

1248
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 2: Like the I mean, I deal with a similar thing.

1249
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 2: I think that most people, most people don't get exactly

1250
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 2: what they want. You have probably fifteen percent control over

1251
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:27,600
Speaker 2: what actually happens, and so when you get, when you

1252
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 2: do succeed, it's like, well, this is not what the

1253
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 2: plan was, and so now it feels like luck and

1254
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with who me or what

1255
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 2: I actually do. I just stumbled into this. Yes, but but.

1256
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 3: CONVISI that is, if it goes badly, then it's a

1257
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 3: whole fault.

1258
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 2: Right, it makes no sense. The brain is a trap

1259
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 2: bondered right. The brain is just out to get all

1260
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 2: of us. Let's answer a couple of questions here. This

1261
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 2: is called I said no emails right into I said

1262
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 2: no gifts at gmail dot com.

1263
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 3: I really hope that Jim does most of the things

1264
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 3: you ask him to do, because people around the world,

1265
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:08,599
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you to fuck off.

1266
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 2: I don't do what I want. Jim does not do

1267
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 2: a single thing I asked him to terfect, So I'm

1268
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,759
Speaker 2: just living a life of chaos. Yes, this first one says,

1269
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 2: let's see, hello Bridger and very special guest of this.

1270
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 2: So they've nailed it.

1271
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 3: Thank you.

1272
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 2: I would love your help with figuring out birthday gifts

1273
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 2: for four of my closest friends. This person's getting greedy

1274
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 2: with their request already. Their birthdays are between the end

1275
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,719
Speaker 2: of May and the first week in June. I guess

1276
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 2: I have a thing for geminis. We're all reuniting for

1277
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:42,599
Speaker 2: the first time post VAX for a beach vacation in July.

1278
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 2: I'd love to bring something to the beach that we

1279
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 2: can do or enjoy together while we're all here, as

1280
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 2: they're all flying and we will have limited luggage space

1281
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 2: to get a gift home with them. Interests we all

1282
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 2: have in common. Taylor Swift cooking, making cocktails, and playing games.

1283
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 2: Went to college together. Okay, so congratulations on maintaining relationships.

1284
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:08,640
Speaker 2: Thanks in advance for your help. I love your Oh

1285
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 2: this is very nice. I love your show so much

1286
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 2: and your advice is always spot on. Thank you, Maddie. Maddie,

1287
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 2: is you know ending this on a really good note

1288
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,719
Speaker 2: despite it kind of asking the world of us for

1289
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 2: four gifts? I got it.

1290
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:26,440
Speaker 3: What So she's going to wed give them an experience

1291
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 3: because nobody has any room in their luggage, right right?

1292
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 3: It should probably be a cooking like a cooking class

1293
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 3: where they will make you cocktails and there's a time

1294
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 3: limit on which is the game aspect where the time

1295
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:44,959
Speaker 3: limit on how when you have to have the dish finished?

1296
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,719
Speaker 2: Oh that's great. You're basically in it together. You're pitching

1297
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 2: your oil and water to them life for Shad.

1298
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:54,799
Speaker 3: I mean I was thinking, well, listen, if your birthdays

1299
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:58,560
Speaker 3: are all together and you're already going to be traveling

1300
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 3: to go to the beach, isn't that gift enough? But

1301
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 3: if you want to gild the lily, yeah, you might.

1302
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 2: As well go for it. Hire some cocktail what do

1303
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 2: they call those people that I'm mixologists? Yes, hire a

1304
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:17,640
Speaker 2: good looking mixologist to guide you through this game. Hell yeah,

1305
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 2: and maybe you know, buy everyone matching bathing suits that'll

1306
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 2: make everyone uncomfortable. Good God, that would be the end

1307
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 2: of the vacation. It would be the end of the friendships,

1308
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 2: which they've been together since college. It's probably time to

1309
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 2: meet some new people. Maddie, you've gotten your answer. Let's

1310
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 2: do you mind if we answer one more. I'm just okay.

1311
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 2: This one just as high period, which is I'm going

1312
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,759
Speaker 2: to be honest as a little stern way into an email.

1313
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 3: It could be to anyone. Are you sure it's to you?

1314
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 2: I know this could have been sent to the wrong address.

1315
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 2: The see Hi, I've fallen madly in love with a

1316
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 2: fan of your show. Oh interesting, and I overthink everything.

1317
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 2: His birthday is at the end of July. He likes

1318
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:12,640
Speaker 2: punk rock, both playing and listening, and is talented in

1319
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 2: a lot of ways, making neon poop sculptures and housemade

1320
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 2: musical instruments, vegan burritos and what is happening here? And

1321
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 2: sweet sweet whoopee. This person's just invaded my email to

1322
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 2: tell me that she has a great sex life.

1323
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 3: Plow.

1324
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 2: Maybe reading this request would be enough. Okay, yes, but

1325
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,639
Speaker 2: if you want to suggest a good first birthday gift

1326
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 2: to give your lover after you pair up, that'd be

1327
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,759
Speaker 2: great too. Be well and lmk let me know. Thanks, kisses.

1328
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 2: And that's from Rachel. Now the last name here, let's

1329
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:48,959
Speaker 2: just say Rachel Kay apparently doesn't even listen to the podcast.

1330
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 2: The boyfriend's listening to the podcast. This is ridiculous. She's

1331
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 2: writing in and asking for my work. I don't even

1332
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 2: know that she's listening to the show. She's writing into

1333
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 2: brag about sex. Boyfriend loves punk music. I'm not giving

1334
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 2: this per I mean, maybe Yardley has something. I'm not

1335
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 2: giving Rachel another second of my time.

1336
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 3: I have an idea, maybe she should give him a

1337
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:15,760
Speaker 3: whoopie cushion since they make sweet sweet whoopie And then

1338
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 3: it would be a pun but also a gift, and

1339
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 3: that you know, there you go. I'm just saying she

1340
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 3: could write a message on the whoopee cushion.

1341
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 2: Like right, I love you or listen to I said

1342
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 2: no gifts.

1343
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,680
Speaker 3: Yes, that would be actually really the best message.

1344
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:39,679
Speaker 2: Rachel. I'm giving you my permission to sign my name

1345
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:43,639
Speaker 2: for me. So get the whoopy cushion and sign love

1346
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 2: Bridge or Wineger. You can do whatever you want there.

1347
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 2: I don't care. I will not sue in this particular case.

1348
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 3: You heard it here first, Rachel.

1349
01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 2: Yardley, We've done an excellent job. I mean, just five

1350
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 2: stars all around, answering questions. People can't complain, and if

1351
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 2: they do, you know, I'm going to ban them from listening.

1352
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 2: So I am so thrilled to have had you here.

1353
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 2: What a wonderful time I've had. And now I've got

1354
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 2: this lovely gift which is also a threat to my life,

1355
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 2: which I just love. I like a little danger.

1356
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 3: It's the gift that keeps on giving.

1357
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 2: You bury me with it, That's all I ask. Yes,

1358
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 2: so I can become like grave robbers. I would love

1359
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 2: to have my great grave robbed. That's the dream. Why not?

1360
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 3: Sure? Why not? What do you care? You'd be very.

1361
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:39,679
Speaker 2: Charming about getting your grave robbed.

1362
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 3: That means they really really want you.

1363
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 2: That's an ith Raje.

1364
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:50,760
Speaker 3: This has been the most fun. I really feel like

1365
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 3: we pulled today, you know, out of a doward spiral.

1366
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 2: Oh we started at negative fifty with the audio issues

1367
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 2: that we dealt with at the list or didn't even

1368
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,440
Speaker 2: have to deal with. We came from a very stressful

1369
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 2: place to a place where I think we can move

1370
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 2: on with our lives and feel better about the world.

1371
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 3: And I feel I've laughed so much with you. I

1372
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:19,959

1376
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:35,760
