00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: And I'm I'm not.

50
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: I'm not a dress person. Like there's some dresses, but

51
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: I'm not generally a dress person. I love I prefer

52
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: men's wear, Okay, so like for formal events. So a

53
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 3: jumpsuit is just is the greatest one piece thing.

54
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: Give it a shot. Yeah. And the thing I love

55
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: about this jumpsuit is it's a zipper, so it's real

56
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: quick in and house jumpsuits buttoned.

57
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: It depends. I have a lot of button ones too,

58
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: and those just takes a lot of button Yeah, it

59
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: takes a long time.

60
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I get a shirt button and I'm out

61
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: of breath getting down to the crotch. I don't know,

62
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: I'd be passed out on the floor in my new jumpsuit.

63
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: I've also had jumpsuits where I've gone to a tailor

64
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: and had them like.

65
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: Lower the zipper or add a zipper to a buttoned one.

66
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: So that so that it's easier to get out of,

67
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: because you know, the lower the zipper button goes, the

68
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: easier it is to get out of the jumpsuit.

69
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Sure. Well, I was at.

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: A Christmas party and I was wearing a romper, which

71
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: is a jumpsuit but with shorts.

72
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: I'm so glad that you I was. I'm constantly confused

73
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: as to what a short version and is a jumper

74
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: a third category.

75
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: Some people, Well, in America, people use jumpers to describe

76
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: any number of things, but in England and Europe, a

77
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 3: jumper is a sweater. Oh and in America, it's just

78
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: like it's the truly the wild West.

79
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: Definition type of clothes.

80
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: Because some people say use jumper for jumpsuits, some people

81
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 3: say jumper.

82
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: For overalls, suit of armor. Lawless.

83
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: Sure, but a ramper is just a short, shorts, you know,

84
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: version of a jumpsuit.

85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: So it's also known as a playsuit. I never heard.

86
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 3: So I was wearing a jumpsuit, a velvet tuxedo romper

87
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: to this holiday bar.

88
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: You were in your velvet playsuit.

89
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: I was in my velvet tuxedo playsuit Bridger because it

90
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: was a formal event and so I had to go

91
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 3: to the bathroom, and I had my boyfriend wait outside

92
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: of door to hold my personal I went to the bathroom,

93
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: and you know, it took a very long time for

94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: me to struggle out.

95
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: Of the because the zipper was in the back. This

96
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: is the.

97
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: Jumpsuit, and I had to do a lot of contortions

98
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: to reach the zipper in the back, and I was

99
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: wearing tighter.

100
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: It was like a whole thing.

101
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 3: It took a long time, but the whole the walls

102
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: were thin, and I could hear my boyfriend chatting with

103
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: another guy in line, and they were speculating whether or

104
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 3: not it was taking a dump.

105
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: What is he doing? Why would you do that to me? Well,

106
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: because well I know Truck your boyfriend. This is exact

107
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: sort of behavior constantly. I know what an awful human being.

108
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: He's a bad person. He is. I brought you here

109
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: to ask you to leave him. I've come here to

110
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: ask you to help me leave him. I'm going to

111
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: it's going to take at least the two of us

112
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 2: to take down Truck.

113
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: And then when I came out of the bathroom, he

114
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: was talking to Haley Joel Osmond.

115
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: What that was? The person that was The other person

116
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: was speculating my whether or not it is hail Joel

117
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: Osmond talking to people strangers about their girlfriend's dumps. Unbelievable,

118
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: that is, But I guess that's kind of the post

119
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: sixth sense life.

120
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, just And of course I confronted them and said,

121
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: I heard what you said, and I spent a long

122
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: time getting out of my jumpsuit.

123
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: No thanks to you. Now what did Haley have to say? Well,

124
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: he happy, he's the bathroom, so he ran in there.

125
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: Then you and Truck speculated about what Hailey was doing.

126
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: We knew exactly what he was doing. Bathroom things, bathroom things.

127
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: He was getting out of his place suit, his velvet place.

128
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: He is. Oh, well, Jessica, it's been a rough couple

129
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: of days for me. Tell me, I I'm just going

130
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: to tell you, if you ever want to just destroy me,

131
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 2: ask me to accomplish a single task. Because yesterday I

132
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: had to go this gift to a something related to

133
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: this podcast. I had to get some gifts. I can't

134
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 2: wrap a gift myself. I don't have that skill. I'm

135
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: shocked to hear this. Well, it's one of the many

136
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: skills I don't possess. I would have bet money that

137
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: you were an excellent gift wrapper. I it is maybe

138
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: the saddest thing I can do physically. Like to watch

139
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: me try to wrap a gift is so pathetic, and

140
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: so I that aside. I needed these gifts to look

141
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: kind of professionally wrapped, and so I was just buzzing

142
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: around the city for the better half of a day.

143
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: I end up in Glendale at the Glendale Galleria. At

144
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: my low point, I walk into Papyrus. Are you familiar

145
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: with papyras They're going out of business by the time

146
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: this airs rip, I have to imagine. But I go

147
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: in there there's this teen running the store. They I

148
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: asked her if she can wrap the gifts for me.

149
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: She said she could, but I would need to buy

150
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: the paper and store they didn't have any paper appropriate

151
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: for this thing. Okay, So eventually I'm I'm walking out

152
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: of the store and I said, could you please do

153
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: this for me? Well, if I buy some off site paper,

154
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: would you mind wrapping these? And she looked at me

155
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: and she said, I can tell you need this, so

156
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: I'll do it. The desperation I must have been radiating

157
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: at the Glendale galerya I should have leveled the building.

158
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: But God bless this team. She came to my rescue. Although,

159
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: of course, then I go to Target. They didn't have

160
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: any wrapping paper. I went to the Dollar Store, no

161
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: wrapping paper. Target not have wrapping I need solid color

162
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: wrapping paper. You were being choosy. I was being a choosy,

163
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: little chooser, and unfortunately that gotten the way of things.

164
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: I also had a gym appointment, so then, oh boy,

165
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: I go to the gym. After that, I had to

166
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: party city found some paper. So this is now, at

167
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 2: like seven thirty at night, I'm call calling Papyrus, calling,

168
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: trying to get back in touch with the teen. She's there,

169
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: she's I have to guarantee. At this point, she's like,

170
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: this man is a danger to me. But she asked

171
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: me if to come right over. She did the I

172
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: left the boxes with her. She wrapped them, asked me

173
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: to come by after they had closed. And now I've

174
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 2: got at least part of my gifts wrapped. She ran

175
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: out of ribbon. I'm having a real struggle, but you

176
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: know I'm now here. I've got my soda. I'm here

177
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: with you. I feel fine. Bridger, you can always ask

178
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: me to wrap a gift. Oh what are your gift

179
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: wrapping skills? Like, well, this was done in a slap dash,

180
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: But I'm like, so you've brought this gift, which of

181
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: course asked you not to, but you it's a I

182
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: think it's like very charming. Thank you.

183
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: Well, I think you'll be impressed once you see what's

184
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: inside that I was able to wrap it. Y, it

185
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: actually has a shape.

186
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: What lies beneath seems to be a kind of of

187
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: an odd shape. Yes, so it could be it. Yes,

188
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: it's like essentially six dead pigeons wrapped together. This is

189
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: actually quite an accomplishment considering the shape of things inside. Okay,

190
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: so but I I am an excellent gift wrapper. Where

191
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: did you learn to rap gifts? Trial and error?

192
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: I always wrapped all of the gift I always I'm

193
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 3: always the designated gift rapper in my family. Like I've

194
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: had to wrap my own Christmas gifts oh years.

195
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: Knowing what you've told me about your parents, this lines

196
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: up in a decent amount of ways.

197
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so usually for Christmas, you know, I'm sequestered in

198
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: a small room somewhere where just people just dump off

199
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 3: drop off piles of gifts, and and I'm there for

200
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: a couple of hours just wrapping piles and piles of gifts.

201
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: Oh, speaking of your parents, I would say no one

202
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 2: on the planet is prouder of her daughter than your

203
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: mother would say. That's true, very fair. Can you cite

204
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: any exact samples, any recent things or.

205
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 3: Well, she keeps claiming that she's writing a book about

206
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: me that's fifty percent memoir fifty percent parenting guide.

207
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: Oh good, Well, I honestly, I mean, considering how you've

208
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: turned out, maybe it's time. I mean, she gives the

209
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: world some advice. I feel like she could be a

210
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: best seller. I mean she did. I mean, you had

211
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 2: an interesting childhood. You for a year were sent to Chinese.

212
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: Well, I was born in China, and then I came

213
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: to America when I was four, and then when I

214
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: was seven, my parents sent me back to the old country,

215
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: but alone.

216
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: And what was the thinking behind that, Well.

217
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: The party line that I was fed was that they

218
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: they were Once I started school in America, I started speaking.

219
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: English a lot, as you do, yes, and then.

220
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: They were very worried that I would lose my ability

221
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: to speak Chinese, despite the fact that they didn't really

222
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: speak English, so we only spoke Chinese.

223
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: That, sure.

224
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 3: And also we lived in the Sangamo Valley, which is

225
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: ninety percent Chinese people. Any school every two walks. Sure,

226
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: but they decided that they had to take the drastic

227
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: step of sending me back to the old country to

228
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: preserve my Chinese.

229
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: And do you are you happy that that happened? Was

230
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: it a good experience or was it? Well? I was

231
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: not psyched about it. Sure. I can't imagine at that

232
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: age being sent to a country feels normal. Yes, I

233
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: mean I had to do it twice, you know.

234
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 3: First I had to go to America and then yes, yes,

235
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: But and also you know, they sent me alone, and

236
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: they told me, you know, don't tell anyone you're flying

237
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: alone because it's illegal and we'll get in trouble. So

238
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: if anyone asks, just say your parents are in the bathroom.

239
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: And when you when the plane lands, just remember who

240
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: was sitting around you and follow them and just keep

241
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: walking and eventually you'll see someone you know, which.

242
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: To be fair, is what happened. Sure, But also you know,

243
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: I mean think about it this way.

244
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: I had to go through customs and immigration by myself,

245
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: filled out the forms myself.

246
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 2: Also, by the way, no one raised a red flag.

247
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: Just you know, a seven year old child walked up

248
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 3: with a back and a toy briefcase.

249
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 2: By the way, I was carrying a plastic toy briefcase. Oh,

250
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: like a non functioning It was like for your Teddy

251
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: Bear or something. It was for my comic books, thank

252
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: you very much.

253
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: And I probably had like a coloring book or two

254
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: in there, but it was for you know, my plane

255
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: essential sure, and I'm sure I kept my passport in there.

256
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: Oh, that's the cutest thing I've ever heard.

257
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: And I, uh, you know, And then I walked up

258
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: to whoever in immigration and gave them my passport and

259
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: my scrawled out customs forms and they were like, this

260
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: looks all in.

261
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: Order, go on through. They just assumed you were a

262
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: forty five year old woman. Yes, that's so crazy. Yeah,

263
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: I do want to get on a record here speaking

264
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: about San Gabriel Valley. Yes, there's a city within the

265
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: San Gabriel Valley that's spelled a l H A M

266
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: b R A. Yes that right. Yes, I said, I

267
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: pronounced this word to you a couple of years ago,

268
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: and you immediately shamed me for the way I pronounced it,

269
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: of course, but and I correct the shame was so

270
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: deep that I immediately corrected, so I called it Alhambra.

271
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: You've said Bridge. That's God bless you. I believe you

272
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: pronounced it much more European. You were like Alhambra. And

273
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: but how do you pronounce.

274
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: Alhambra because it's not a gorgeous city of Spain. It's

275
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: not Alambra, which a lot of I've heard a lot

276
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: of people had al I can always tell someone did

277
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: not is not from La because they say Alambra.

278
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: Well, since correcting it every time I say it to

279
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: people who are not from La, because al Hambro sounds

280
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: like you're a secretary in Minneapolis. Yes, you sound like

281
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: an ugly American tourist. Yeah.

282
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: Going over to Alambra and calling it al Haambra, but

283
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: in Alhambra it's pronounced al Haambra.

284
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: Los Angeles is kind of a trap that way, because

285
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: sometimes you do have you pronounce it correctly, and then

286
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: other times it's like this is as far from the

287
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: original pronunciation as possible. Yes, but we've got it on

288
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: record now I kind of consider you the expert. Yeah,

289
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: so I can now march forward calling it Alhambra in comfort, Yeah,

290
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: and just tell people you grew up there. Oh that's

291
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: not a bad idea. I'm just going to become a

292
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: huge liar anytime I need to pronounce something. Let's not

293
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: pretend you already are well. I've deceived plenty of people

294
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: and I will continue to do so. Something else. I

295
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: don't think many people know about you, And this is

296
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: another thing I'd like to beg you on the podcast

297
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: to do. You need to start your own Costco podcast,

298
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: because Jessica Goo, no one in the world knows more

299
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: about Costco and is more passionate about Costco than you.

300
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: That's very true. You, I think are my only the

301
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: only person in Los Angeles I know personally who well,

302
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: let's say maybe there are a couple of people who

303
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: is a member of Costco, but you're very proud of

304
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: it and you're happy to take people on. Essentially, you

305
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: took yes a tour. I sure you through Costco. I

306
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: mean I was obviously my family growing up had at

307
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: Costco membership, but I hadn't been there in years, and

308
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: it's a wonderland. You really showed me. You put me

309
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: on a magic carpet and took me through Costco and

310
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: I ended up buying fifteen protein bars, yes.

311
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: And what was funny was you had said to me, Oh,

312
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: I'd love to go to Costco with you one of

313
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: these days on one of your weekly pilgrimages.

314
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: I said great.

315
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: And you know, usually when people say that, it it's

316
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: because they want to buy something at Costco and they

317
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 3: needed somebody who has a membership. And when we arrived there,

318
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: I think after like ten fifteen minutes of browsing, you know,

319
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: and I'm filling my car, I asked you what you

320
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: wanted to buy and you said, oh, I'm not planning

321
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: to buy anything, and you said I just wanted to

322
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: tag along, which I thought was the ravings of a madman.

323
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: Well, this is frequently what I'm doing is just making

324
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: choices that most, not ninety nine percent of the population

325
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 2: would make. But uh, I guess I did want to

326
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: just go look at Costco. And it was a nice

327
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: little walk around the store. But you gave me a

328
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: guided tour that I had never unlike anything I had

329
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: seen before. You've also given me details about Costco, for example,

330
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: the food court, chicken sand, the chicken bake. Chicken bake.

331
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: Can you explain because it's kind of an interesting origin.

332
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: It was created because they were tasked with trying to

333
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 3: figure out what new menu item they could make with

334
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 3: the existing ingredients that they already had in the kitchen.

335
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: Oh, so they use the dough that they.

336
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: Make for pizza, okay, and then they already serve a

337
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: caesar salad, so they were going to use that dressing

338
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 3: and the chicken that they used in the chicken caesar salad.

339
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 2: And then they were like, let's just put this all together.

340
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 2: What a fun creative cost, so they don't have to

341
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: introduce a new ingredient. Yes, so they have everything available,

342
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: they have a new item. I've never had the chicken bake.

343
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: I've had a hot dog, I've had pizza. Yeah, the

344
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 2: hot dog is the way to go. Yeah, I think

345
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 2: that's kind of I mean, I will say the pizza

346
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: is good enough. It's just as good as any other

347
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 2: chain pizza. Yeah, definitely. Actually I would say better than

348
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: most chain pizza. And you know, you can buy the

349
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: whole pie really and just sit down on one of

350
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 2: those picnic benches and go to town.

351
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, or you know, take it away if you're having

352
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 3: a party with people who have aren't picky.

353
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, you can call them and reserve an entire pie. Well,

354
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 2: the other thing that you taught me recently is that

355
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 2: I don't need a Costco membership to go into the

356
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: food area.

357
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 3: No, you don't. Anyone can go and eat in the concessions.

358
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: Because I've frequently wanted to go get a hot dog

359
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: but was afraid of the club atmosphere.

360
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: I mean most Costcos in southern California, the food.

361
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: Area is outside anyway, so you don't.

362
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: Even to enter the warehouse, like the one in liz

363
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: Feel Is here we go with the oh yeah, oh

364
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 3: I feel course, so one in liz Feels it's it's

365
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 3: completely outside, so anyone can walk up there.

366
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: You can jaunt on over for a lunch I've got.

367
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's our next lunch date is Costco.

368
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 3: But that means we would have to go through Costco.

369
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: Of course, you think I would ever go there and

370
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 3: not set foot inside cost.

371
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: Well, do you think I wouldn't follow you till the

372

Speaker 3: Wonderful. This is how you're getting me to do the

394
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 3: past podcast. Okay, your trojan horse has worked you so.

395
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 2: Uh.

396
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 3: Hamone serrano and harmon eberico, which are Spanish cured hams.

397
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 3: Hamon serrano is very very common. It's made from white pigs,

398
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 3: okay and uh, and it's relatively inexpensive because it's like

399
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 3: the most common.

400
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 2: It's basically like an umbrella. Term.

401
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 3: Haman somorano is like an umbrella term for most cured

402
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: hams made from white pigs. Okay, and uh, Costco was

403
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: selling a set that was an entire leg of cured

404
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: ham and with a stand because you need a special

405
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: stand to hold it, and with a carving knife.

406
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 2: Because the leg's kind of like boo, you know, it's

407
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: kind of I mean it's leg shape. It's a big leg.

408
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 2: It's like a leg is sticking it's out from underneath

409
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: the skirt.

410
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 3: Yes, it was meant to be supported by three other legs,

411
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: not to stand it. And so you know, the flavor

412
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 3: is similar to protrudo. Okay, So I saw it. I

413
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 3: purchased it was one hundred dollars, which is a steal

414
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 3: because it's that leg is over fifteen pounds.

415
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 2: Wow.

416
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a game with a stand and a knife.

417
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: That's true, It's truly. I mean if you got a

418
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 3: little eight ounce package of it would probably be ten bucks.

419
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: You know.

420
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean now you can run over Hampstead. Yeah.

421
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely. So I bought it.

422
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 3: Didn't think what I was going to, like how I

423
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 3: would deal with this, but I just thought I must

424
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: have it.

425
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: I must have that must big leg, big leg.

426
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 3: So I brought it home. My neighbor is an excellent cook.

427
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 3: She actually went to culinary school. So I had her

428
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 3: over and she like carved it up like you know.

429
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: Every night we would have a one hour ham carving

430
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: session and I would bring it, and I would bring

431
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 3: I would fill a ziploc bag with sliced ham and

432
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 3: I would bring it to the writer's room every day. Sure,

433
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: and they started to refer you know, now we have

434
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 3: a term in the writer's room called the hamdbag, and

435
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 3: you would tell people to pass the handbag.

436
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: And they loved it so much.

437
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: And my assistant, my assistant you Song multiple times, said Jessica,

438
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: if you would provide me with an apron and buy

439
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: another ham to keep in the writer's room, I will

440
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: happily slice it.

441
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: Oh for the writing staff of one offul gesture.

442
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 3: And a friend of mine, Andrew T, said that I

443
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 3: should buy a ham to keep in the writer's room

444
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 3: so that and force you Song to slice it throughout

445
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 3: the day and reward the writers anytime they had a

446
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 3: good pitch.

447
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: I would nod to use Song and he would toss

448
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: them a slice it, just like a pack of dogs,

449
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 2: like some trained seals. Yes, your circus animal and so

450
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: you should be wearing a top hat.

451
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: You're doing absolutely and with my cane. So right after Christmas,

452
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 3: an unprecedented thing happened. It went on sale for fifty

453
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 3: percent off. Wow, fifty dollars for an entire pig leg

454
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: Oh that's insane.

455
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: With stand and carving. My home should be nothing but pigley,

456
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 2: I know.

457
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 3: So of course I snatched one up and I brought

458
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 3: it home, and truck came home and said, did you

459
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 3: buy another Hamily? And I said, yes, I did, and

460
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear a word about it. And

461
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 3: I brought it into the writer's room right after Christmas

462
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 3: break and they were overjoyed. Oh, I can imagine it's

463
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: down to it's last little bit of bits of meat.

464
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: How long does a cure I mean, like you can

465
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: does it expire?

466
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 3: Yes it does, but you can keep it at room temper,

467
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 3: like a cool room temperature for several weeks.

Speaker 3: You just when you slice off the because the outside

470
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 3: layers fat, So you slice off the fat in big

471
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 3: pieces so that you can get to the meat that

472
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 3: you slice, but you save those flaps of fat to

473
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: put back on the meat, and then you and then

474
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: they saran wrap all of it to keep it in place,

475
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 3: because the fat actually keeps the.

476
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,720

Speaker 3: the ham leg is wearing a cake and it's quite adorable.

485
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,440

489
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 3: Costco is the Hammon Eberico. Emerico is much more scarce

490
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 3: and much more expensive. It's made with black pigs and

491
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 3: these eat a diet of i think the year before

492
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: they're slaughtered, like eat a diet of only acorns.

493
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: Wow.

494
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 3: So their meat has this very deep, nutty, delicious flavor.

495
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: They're eating nothing but a.

496
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: Acorns and they're so delicious, and it's so much more expensive.

497
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: So they had an embarraco, same kit, a baraco leg.

498
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: It was five hundred and fifty dollars. I really really

499
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,719
Speaker 3: thought about it, but you didn't do it.

500
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 2: I didn't do it. This feels like something you're gonna

501
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: regret few years from now. Immediately, oh, I immediately regretted it.

502
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 3: And then when I went back during the sale, it

503
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 3: was I heard it was three hundred dollars, but I

504
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,760

Speaker 2: I'm not going to say no to a gift that's

558
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 2: been displaced upon me. I can tell you're seething an anger.

559
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:29,680

Speaker 2: my heart right.

561
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,399

00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: any type of cookie. I'm very snobbish about it, but

624
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: also absolutely open to eating any type of cookie. Yeah,

625
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 2: do you like cookies? I do, but I'm very picky.

626
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 2: I'm not like you.

627
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 3: I'm not desperately crawling in the streets for a taste

628
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: of anything sweet.

629
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: I am in the gutter, just looking for that little morsel,

630
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: just feeming. Yes, So what is a good cookie? Do you?

631
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: I love a classic chocolate chip.

632
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 3: I love what I really would like and I can

633
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: never find is chocolate chip with Macadamian nuts because Macadamian

634
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 3: eggs are always white chocolate, which I hate.

635
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 2: That's what a waste of a cookie. Sweet? But I

636
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 2: want a chocolate chip cookie with Macadamien. Have you found this?

637
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,479
Speaker 2: I think, Uh, Pepperidge Farms does one, Okay? And how

638
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: do you feel about a Pepperidge? I love a Milano.

639
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: I love Oh that's a very soothing cookie. I love

640
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: them Milana texture. It's a very smooth. Yeah, it's like

641
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 2: a very nineteen ninety five luxury.

642
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,959
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like remember when Viennetta was a big course.

643
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: I exhacised about getting one of those, and then we

644
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: eventually got one and it was fine. But the commercials,

645
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: I mean, oh made it look like.

646
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 3: Oh no, I would have done any like my parents

647
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 3: went through a spell where they kept buying it for

648
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 3: me because that's all I wanted to eat and I

649
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 3: loved it.

650
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: How big was that? Was it? About the size of

651
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: a loaf of bread? Yeah? It was like a Swiss roll, okay,

652
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: Swiss roll or a pound cake? All right? And they

653
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 2: would come in different flavors or was there only one?

654
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 3: As far as I remember, there was only like a classic,

655
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 3: you know, like a it was like a chocolate amven

656
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 3: like with whipped cream and yeah.

657
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: And I feel like there was some recent resurgence with those, right. Yeah.

658
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if they ever went away in England

659
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 3: a British British held on. No, No, it was like

660
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 3: a it's a British brand.

661
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: Oh okay, this feels like a great British bakeoff item

662
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 2: they should be making. That should be around two. But

663
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: it's ice cream. It's not really a cake. Oh you

664
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: want to talk to me about the Great Britain. They've

665
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: gone off track. I can't cite a single example, but

666
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 2: I do. I do remember recent seasons they've had episodes

667
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 2: I have nothing to do with baking. Yeah, watch that show?

668
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, like like when they had them grill flatbread. Oh,

669
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: I haven't seen this one episodes were they this was

670
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 3: this was not the recent season, but maybe like two

671
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 3: or three seasons ago.

672
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were like grilling flatbread? What?

673
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, which really felt like it was stretching the limits

674
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 3: of a bake off.

675
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 2: Yeah. What was there a theme to that episode?

676
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: I don't remember, but I also think that that's an

677
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: example of how it shouldn't be a part of it

678
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 3: if you can't even place a theme.

679
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 2: With Oh, yeah, I guess it's flatbread. The theme is flatbread.

680
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 2: The theme is bread bread. I do love a flatbread.

681
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: But actually, I'll say this, I like a freshly made

682
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: flat bread. If you have like a peta that came

683
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 2: out of a plastic bag, it's basically chewing rubber. You know. Look,

684
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 2: it's no cookie in your it's no cookie. I So

685
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 2: I have a complicated relationship, not even actually it's very simple.

686
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: It's I love eating cookies. But for the first four

687
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 2: years of my life in Los Angeles, I was eating

688
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 2: nine cookies a night. Why did you keep count? That's

689
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 2: a great question. Yeah, it didn't matter what type of cookie.

690
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: It was a nine cookie size, didn't matter what size.

691
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: So it arranged from like a Nutter butter to uh,

692
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: like I began making my own cookie and so like

693
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: a chocolate chip cookie, this sort of thing. Eventually realized

694
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 2: that maybe that, I mean, maybe not a normal normal

695
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 2: amount of cookies to be eating. So I've recently downsized

696
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 2: to three cookies a night. But it's still a very

697
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 2: uh it's something that I stick to, and it's probably

698
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: the only constant that I currently deal with. You've made

699
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 2: cookies for me before, I have. You sat in my

700
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: kitchen and watched me make cookies. Yeah, so you made

701
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: me like a paleo cookie.

702
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 3: Right, So it's made with almond flour and it's sweetened

703
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 3: with maple syrup.

704
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 2: It was delicious, it was. But it was also peanut

705
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 2: butter chocolate chip, chocolate chip. I like a peanut butter

706
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 2: chocolate chip. I've made those before. I'm more of a

707
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 2: cake person. Oh, interesting, love a cake? Do you make cakes?

708
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: No?

709
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: I do not.

710
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 3: I'm actually not a baker. I don't really bake for

711
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 3: you love to cook. I love to cook. Most people

712
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: who love to cook don't bakest bakers don't cook.

713
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a weird. It's a different personality type. I feel.

714
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 2: I don't cook at all.

715
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 3: What is what is the I don't like the precision

716
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 3: of baking. I don't And I just don't like the

717
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 3: blind faith of it, because you have to be very

718
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 3: precise and then throw everything together and the throat in

719
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 3: the oven and just pray and that it works out

720
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 3: the way it's promised. Too much blind faith. What I

721
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 3: like about cooking is you're constantly adjusting. You can improvise,

722
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 3: you can every step of the way you're adjusting and

723
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 3: fixing it.

724
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, And I think for me, I find comfort

725
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 2: in knowing that i have to do everything exactly right.

726
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 2: I've given a strict set of instructions that i cannot

727
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 2: move away from, and then I'm rewarded with a cookie.

728
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 2: Whereas with the cooking, I can't trust myself to if

729
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: I have any wiggle room, I'm going to put too

730
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 2: much or too little of something in and screw up

731
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 2: the whole process.

732
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 3: That's the great thing is that if you do too

733
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 3: much or too little something, you can always adjust and

734
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 3: fix it.

735
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: And baking you're screwed. You're screwed. You're just starting out

736
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 2: a whole you have to start over.

737
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well like a terrified nineteen fifty's house.

738
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 2: Why before her every home? Okay, Well, I don't know.

739
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 2: Anything that allows some level of decision making on my

740
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 2: part terrifies me. I mean, that's why I'm not going

741
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 2: to a yogurt land, because I'm out of control and

742
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 2: I will ruin whatever it is that I'm supposed to it.

743
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 3: I will only go to yogurt land is to pink.

744
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: I don't like it. I don't want somebody else making.

745
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: It for him.

746
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: Oh.

747
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 2: Interesting, I won't go to Pinkberry either. I guess maybe

748
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: my problem was one of the owners of Pinkberry murdered

749
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: a homeless man. There's that.

750
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 3: What has he He was driving through somewhere. It was

751
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 3: like a road rage incident and he got out of

752
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 3: his car and beat a homeless man to death and

753
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 3: then drove off.

754
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 2: What Yeah it was Scott. Is he in prison that?

755
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think he went to trial for it,

756
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 2: but he got off. Who knows. I don't know. I

757
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 2: don't know. I didn't fall.

758
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: I didn't keeping because look once I heard that, I

759
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 3: was like, it's I don't need to follow the story.

760
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm done Berry murder, the pink Berry.

761
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 3: Oh.

762
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 2: I was never a fan of pink Berry. I just

763
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: felt like, well, it was just because it was the

764
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 2: first in La.

765
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love yogurt Land because this is going to

766
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 3: shock you to your core. I like to get just

767
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 3: the original tart. Okay, no toppings?

768
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 2: What? Oh? No no toppings? That is not normal behavior.

769
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 2: You're just going in and filling up a.

772
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of yoga, a lot of yogurt,

773
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 3: no toppings.

774
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: Wow, that and you're eating the whole thing. Absolutely, your

775
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 2: tongue is not completely numb by the end of it. No,

776
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I will say that's the That is probably

777
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: what people should do it yogurt Land, rather than putting

778
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 2: in like two ounces of yogurt and then dumping M

779
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 2: and m's and skittles all over it. Yes, just eat

780
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 2: skittles and M and ms. Yeah, if you want to

781
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: go to the Groceres yogurt Land, yes, thank you. So

782
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 2: you're a you're a true purist. I'm very much as

783
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 2: very minimal approach. Also, here's the other thing. I love cake.

784
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 2: Don't care for frosting. Okay, I can see that, actually

785
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: frosted cake. I don't like a cupcake because it's almost

786
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 2: entirely Yes, I scrape off all the frosting on cupcake. Yeah,

787
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: I could get me. I need a little bit of

788
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 2: frosting maybe in the middle of a cake, but yeah.

789
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 3: A little bit is fine, especially if it's a red

790
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 3: velvet cake. You have to have some cream cheese, sure,

791
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: but generally speaking, just frosting is too.

792
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's a cake that depends on frost. Let's if

793
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 2: it's a wonderful chocolate cake, it doesn't need an ounce

794
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 2: of frost. Aly dive right into the sponge. I'm not

795
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 2: a huge cake person in general. I feel like it's

796
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: enormous commitment. It's like you're committing to that one flavor

797
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 2: for essentially a pound of food. And this is where

798
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 2: I'm a cookie man. I can eat. I can eat

799
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: a cookie, and then if I enjoy it, I can

800
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 2: eat eight more. If I don't enjoy it, I'm already

801
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: done with the commitment. Who's forcing you to eat an

802
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 2: entire cake? Bridger? Well, my cake master standing behind me

803
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 2: and just demanding.

804
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 3: Been in a situation where I had to commit to

805
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 3: eating the.

806
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: Entire It happens to me multiple times a week. I thing.

807
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 3: Usually you eat a cake somewhere where someone serves you

808
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 3: one slice.

809
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 2: Oh not me. I'm getting married every Friday and my

810
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 2: husband is shoving a cake in my mouth.

811
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 3: Wait, do you think that at weddings the groom has

812
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 3: to eat the entire cake?

813
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: That's at every wedding I've been to, I've watched them

814
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 2: eat themselves sick someone rolls them out of the room,

815
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 2: and you know, the wedding guests are all crying. But

816
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 2: that's tradition. Let's talk about these cookies, these cookies. Should

817
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: I eat one? Yes? So is that going to be

818
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 2: a sound that podcast listeners can turn your head? Do

819
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 2: you want a cookie? Stephen? I think we should all

820
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: eat it. I'll eat a Costco cookie. So I buy

821
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: some bulk. Yeah.

822
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 3: So once I realized I couldn't the ham On was

823
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 3: was not in the cards, I I thought, well, what

824
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 3: what should I get in bulk for Bridger? And I thought, well,

825
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 3: he's a desperate cookie hound, so I should go and big,

826
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 3: get the biggest package of cookies. And honestly, I have

827
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 3: to say, I'm disappointed at how this is not the

828
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 3: size that I wanted. I was hoping that there would

829
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 3: be a package of cookies that was like three times.

830
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 2: This twenty four cookies though, that's a lot of cookies,

831
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 2: and these.

832
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 3: I wanted you to have sixty cookie. I wanted sixty

833
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 3: cookie cookie for you.

834
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 2: I would have taken them. I would have frozen some,

835
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 2: I would have enjoyed some. Tonight, I'm trying a cookie.

836
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: It's cheuwier than I thought it would be. This is

837
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: a good cookie. H I think this is a very

838
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 2: good cookie. It's like it's not dry and it's not

839
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 2: too moist. It's just like a nicely baked It's a

840
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 2: good chocolate to cookie ratio. No you as a cookie?

841
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,479
Speaker 2: Or is there a Costco genius? Do you think they're

842
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 2: making these from scratch at Costco? Or is this broad

843
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 2: in frozen and they're baking it? Mmm? I bet I

844
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 2: bet it's brought in frozen and they're baking it. Okay,

845
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 2: I hate to say it.

846
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 3: That's fine, although I don't know they bake their cakes

847
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 3: on side, so why wouldn't they make the cooks they

848
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 3: gat the do.

849
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 2: You know what? Speaking of frosting and cake and Costco,

850
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 2: I kind of like the frosting at Costco. It's like

851
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 2: that light frost. Yes, they've got a great sheet cake there,

852
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 2: very very affordable.

853
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 3: Yes, you can order one that's custom. That's what I

854
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 3: should have gotten. Actually, a gigantic sheet cake that's like

855
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 3: a Yeah, that's a nude photo and I have so

856
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 3: many to choose.

857
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sending them to you constantly. What do you

858
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 2: think hourly? Yeah, Jessica, can I get your eyes on this.

859
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 2: But sometimes you send me a nude and you just

860
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 2: say no notes please. Well, sometimes I just need to

861
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 2: put it out into the world without your harsh critic.

862
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: How long do you think this container of twenty four

863
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 2: cookies is going to last you? I'm going to say, well,

864
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 2: I'm probably going to eat three a night if I

865
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 2: just stuck to an eight day plan that you know, Well,

866
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 2: that's what we've already eaten three, so down to twenty one.

867
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 2: So that's seven days of cookies. And these are pretty

868
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 2: sizable cookies.

869
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 3: I would say, Yeah, they're bigger than the base of

870
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 3: a coffee mug.

871
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm going to what I'm going to say

872
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 2: is I'm going to do two of these a night,

873
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 2: but I'm also going to freeze a significant portion of

874
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 2: them and mix it, mix it up with the other

875
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 2: cookies I currently have in my home. For Christmas, Jim,

876
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 2: my boyfriend, bought me Leveine Bakery cookies. Have you ever

877
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 2: had a Levein cookie? No, I haven't. This is a

878
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 2: bakery in New York that's kind of a famous thing

879
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 2: at this point, but I've been a longtime fan of

880
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: their cookies, which are essentially the size of a softball,

881
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 2: and he had some of those shipped two our apartment

882
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 2: and so those are currently occupying a large portion of

883
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 2: our freezer. So I've got those. I have cookie dough

884
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 2: I made personally, and recently my mom sent me a

885
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 2: box full of piscatti, So this is now entering the

886
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: cookie rotation. Oh my god, you're a cookie baron. I

887
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 2: mean my apartment. The food in my apartment is one

888
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: of the most insane things that a person could see.

889
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 2: And I can acknowledge this. There is nothing of any

890
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: nutritional value. There is a fridge with water, coffee, and

891
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 2: milk in it, all cookie accessories, all cookie accessories, and

892
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 2: then a freezer literally packed with cookies. And then I

893
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 2: have protein bars for breakfast the rest of it. There's

894
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 2: nothing else to eat in my apartment. And it's really

895
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: you're any human. This is the this is the diet

896
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 2: of a serial killer. One every I'm sorry, I've got

897
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 2: food in my mouth and I've got cookie. Anytime we

898
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 2: have somebody come to watch the dog, I remember, Oh no,

899
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 2: they're going to look through the pantry and be like,

900
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I'm going to die in Bridgers apartment. He's

901
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 2: gonna bake me into a giant cookie. Oh wouldn't that

902
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 2: be sweet? Now, okay, so we've made it. I'm still

903
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 2: enjoying my cookie. But the cookies are not the only

904
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 2: part of this gift. There's also and I've never successfully

905
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 2: said this word, so I'm gonna give it a shot.

906
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 2: Ferrero Roche.

907
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 3: I've always said Ferrero Rocher, but I don't know, but

908
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: sure like if it was truly French, it would be rochet.

909
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: This is one of my earliest Costco memories is them

910
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 2: bringing these around during the holidays and thinking that is

911
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 2: the fanciest sandy I've ever seen.

912
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yes, when you're a child, you think that must

913
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 3: cost a million dollars.

914
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: Yes, And I still have no This would take me

915
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 2: down on the prices, right, I have no idea how

916
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 2: much this costs.

917
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 3: This is and this is like kind of like a

918
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 3: fancy ish gift box of it.

919
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 2: So I because I.

920
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 3: Was disappointed by the quantity of cookies in that container,

921
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 3: I thought I have to get more cookies from Bridger.

922
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,439
Speaker 3: And I was walking down the Cookies and crackers aisle

923
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 3: trying to make some decisions, real hard decisions, and I thought,

924
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 3: am I Am I really going to put together a

925
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 3: gift basket of cookies now at this point. But then

926
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 3: I saw the Ferrero and I thought, well, nothing's a

927
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 3: classier gift oh than a gift box of Ferrero Rush.

928
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: So I'm going to hold a dinner party and everyone's

929
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 2: going to think I'm extra fancy. Everyone's going to think

Speaker 2: you became a millionaire. Richard get all this money. He's

931
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 2: got twenty one cookies and forty eight Ferrero rocher.

932
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 3: Now, because this is a Costco blog, I don't mind

933
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 3: telling the listeners that this was.

934
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: This gift box was thirteen dollars and fifty cents. That's nothing.

935
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 2: That's very little. That's yeah, two bags of M and ms.

936
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: This is at least fifty thousand dollars worth of Ferrara

937
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 2: rum oh of course our Oh, I think you're being kind.

938
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 2: This is this is seventy five grand of chocolate and hazelnut.

939
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And so you see why the gift wrapping was

940
00:47:58,960 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 3: a bit of a feat.

941
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, because these are two oddly shaped boxes. And I'm

942
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,280
Speaker 2: now just the podcast is me talking with a cookie

943
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 2: in my mouth. I think that's from now on, you

944
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,479
Speaker 2: will not hear my voice if there's not some sort

945
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: of baked good. And I apologize. No, these two objects

946
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 2: put together would be very difficult to wrap, and you

947
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 2: managed to make a charming wrapping out of it, which

948
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,839
Speaker 2: is something I couldn't do. And you thought it was

949
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 2: one item. I thought it was well to be fair

950
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 2: to me, I thought it was six dead pigeons together

951
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 2: so melded into one beautiful sculpture. Yes, as you do.

952
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 2: You did go to art school. I did. I was

953
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 2: an art major. That's right, so that I guess, well

954
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 2: they did. There was no gift wrapping class in all

955
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true. There should be.

956
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 3: You know, people, when whenever the world found out that

957
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 3: Candy Spelling, widow of Aaron Spelling had a had not one,

958
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 3: not two, but three gift wrapping rooms in her mansion,

959
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 3: everybody made fun of her.

960
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: But you know what, town that doesn't sound wonderful. Yesterday,

961
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 2: I could have used at least one wrapping room.

962
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 3: Imagine if I said, Bridger, come over, you can use

963
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 3: my gift wrap room.

964
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: Oh, I would kill yeah. And to have three, you've

965
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 2: got one for having gifts, one for crying.

966
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 3: One for well, I imagine therefore different seasons like I'm sure

967
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 3: Christmas has.

968
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,439
Speaker 2: Its own room that makes sense, right, eight day room, Yeah,

969
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 2: and then the miscellaneous room, the baptism room, yeah, or maybe.

970
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 3: One was for making gift baskets, one worms for actual

971
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 3: gift rapping. Oh, there's any number of ways I could

972
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 3: organize multiple gift wrapping rooms.

973
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Is there a fact that more people

974
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 2: know than this fact that she owned these three gift

975
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 2: wrapping rooms. I feel like every person on the planet

976
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 2: is aware that Candy spelling.

977
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 3: Yes, well, they made such a big deal. The tabloidsm

978
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:46,439
Speaker 3: makes such a big deal.

979
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 2: Okay, what year was it. I feel like I learned

980
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,720
Speaker 2: this in maybe nineteen ninety seven? Does that feel right? Yeah?

981
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 3: I would say sometime in the late nineties was when

982
00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 3: it first came to light, when the investigative journalist first discovered.

983
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 2: Correct the case. Is Candy still alive? She is, She's

984
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 2: probably in one of those rooms right now. No, she

985
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 2: sold that house, got a state Yeah. Okay, So I

986
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 2: wonder who lives there now and.

987
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 3: Someone who is having a wonderful time wrap gift long

988
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 3: you know what I was wondering, And maybe this does exist.

989
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 2: But you know there are those t shirt folding things. Yes,

990
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 2: is there something like that for gifts? Am I giving

991
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,879
Speaker 2: away a million dollar idea right now. I would kill

992
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 2: to have something that's essentially one of the because I've

993
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 2: used those T shirt folding things and they work beautifully

994
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 2: for a.

995
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 3: Gift, I think, well, yeah, it's called a gift bag.

996
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 3: Gift bags were invented for people like you. Now I

997
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 3: want to feel like a professional. I want to you know,

998
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 3: what might be helpful for you is the Japanese like

999
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 3: to use textiles to wrap a gift because then it's reusable.

1000
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 2: That's genius.

1001
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 3: That is the one thing is that whenever I do

1002
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 3: have to wrap it, I try to avoid wrapping a

1003
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 3: gift whenever I can, just because I always feel so

1004
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 3: guilty that we're wasting so much paper. Yes, but but

1005
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:06,760
Speaker 3: you know, the Japanese will use like beautiful textiles and

1006
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 3: and you know, there's like different techniques to doing it,

1007
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 3: and that way the person who receives it can reuse

1008
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 3: it and wrap it.

1009
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 2: And you just can't at smart you just go down

1010
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 2: to the fabrics store. Oh maybe I'll give that a shot.

1011
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 2: And then I feel like that you don't have the crinkling.

1012
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 3: Yes, the exactly you kind of just you just you know,

1013
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 3: tie it up on top and put a put a

1014
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 3: ribbon on it or something, or if you know how

1015
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 3: to tie it in a beautiful way.

1016
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 2: Yes, then as a country I think has really nailed packaging. Yes,

1017
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 2: I think they're great up packaging. Whether it's a gift

1018
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 2: or whatever, it always looks neatly prepared and very precisely designed. Yeah. Interesting,

1019
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 2: what are they doing over there that the rest of

1020
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 2: us are failing out all kinds of weird shit? I

1021
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 2: haven't had one in a long time. I'm not I'm

1022
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 2: not going to eat one right now because I will

1023
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 2: be sick. Or is it because you are saving this

1024
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 2: to bring to a dinner party? That's true, everyone here,

1025
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 2: I am. Do either of you want one?

1026
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 3: Well, now I'm afraid because I feel like you are

1027
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 3: going to You've been You're planning to bring this to

1028
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 3: a dinner party. I'm not just checking me up right,

1029
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 3: I crack it open. Of course I want one. I

1030
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 3: will never say no.

1031
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 2: To a Ferrero. The thing for me is I need

1032
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 2: to save a little room for treats later, because I

1033
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 2: like to have a treat at the end of the day.

1034
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 3: And if I eat one of these now, look, you're nowhere,

1035
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 3: and I've been keeping track of your caloric intake today

1036
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 3: and you're nowhere near nine cookies.

1037
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 2: Well, you know, as I said, I'm done doing nine cookies.

1038
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 2: It's now a three cookie. This is you weaning yourself.

1039
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 2: This is your methadone. I'm opening. This is a beautiful package.

1040
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna have to undo more tape. Okay, yeah,

1041
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,399
Speaker 3: because you only did half and.

1042
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 2: If this had been wrapped in Japan it would be

1043
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 2: open by now. That's true.

1044
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 3: But this is although unless if this is a criticism

1045
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 3: of Costco, then I won't stand for.

1046
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 2: Not a criticism. Maybe maybe just a Ferrero corporation. Who's

1047
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,399
Speaker 2: I'm actually gonna look here and see where these are

1048
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 2: made New Jersey? So oh in Italy? Of course it's

1049
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 2: the Italians. The Italians have done a terrible job with

1050
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 2: this package. I mean, there you go, well over the

1051
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 2: natural muscles of bridge are trying or do not stand

1052
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 2: in the way of my strength. This is all going

1053
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 2: to get edited. I have to have faith that this

1054
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 2: is all going to be Oh, this is going to

1055
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 2: be turned the volume will be turned up and there

1056
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 2: will be like kind of a little beat put behind it.

1057
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 2: Can I assist in any way? Absolutely not. I'm going

1058
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 2: to do this myself. I have to know. This is

1059
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 2: how you that I this is how you torture me.

1060
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 2: I could get this, Bridgie can get.

1061
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 3: It, bridge you can get Can we get your little

Speaker 2: She would have this done by now, she would have

1064
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 2: these plated. Okay you and actually, once you get that

1065
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 2: wrap done, it feels so satisfying. Yes, oh look at that.

1066
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 2: Oh this is truly. This feels like we're at my

1067
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 2: christening or something and rising here we go. You have

1068
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 2: to eat. I am not eating one. I will be

1069
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 2: so six, very rude. Eat a Ferrero a lie offered

1070
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 2: with a full Uh. You know, I told everyone in

1071
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 2: the room I would not be eating one right now

1072
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 2: because the cookie is still settling in me and I

1073
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 2: can't do it. Okay, it's still settling. This is my

1074
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 2: This will be my eight o'clock treat. Once I turn

1075
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 2: on the outsider, I feel like it's going nowhere. Can

1076
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 2: I just say Ferrero a Classic. It's such a good

1077
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: The texture is perfect. I think it's always great. You

1078
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 2: bite into it and it like gives just enough and

1079
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 2: then it it's like a little uh Faberge egg or something.

1080
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful The Italians have really outdone themselves with us.

1081
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 2: And I'm usually not that crazy about other hazelnut flavored

1082
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 2: things or things of hazel nuts. I will eat one

1083
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 2: of I mean, I'm gonna go wild on this box.

1084
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 2: Oh I love hazel nut.

1085
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 3: So I also wanted to bring this to you because, like,

1086
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure this is true in a lot of other cultures,

1087
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 3: but Chinese people love ferrero.

1088
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 2: Oh is that true? Oh?

1089
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, they love gifting this. I wonder why, Like they

1090
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 3: have the reverence. Where it that children have for it?

1091
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 2: Wow? And does this be like a recent thing or

1092
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 2: is it?

1093
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 3: No? It's alway as far back as I can remember,

1094
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 3: Ferrero was always like a gift you bring to people,

1095
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 3: Like you know, if you went to somebody's house for

1096
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 3: dinner or something, you bring them some Ferrera.

1097
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 2: And you have no idea why or it's just I

1098
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 2: think just because it looks fancy. Yeah, it just looks

1099
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 2: like a nice thing and it is a good. So

1100
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 2: Chinese culture has just figured out, here's a good fancy thing.

1101
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 2: Let's get on to it. Chinese people also love seas candies.

1102
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 2: Oh listen, I would I would bring Mary c back

1103
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 2: from the dead and marry her. I love thees candies.

1104
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 2: I know some people don't like these candies and schools.

1105
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 2: I love a Scotch mallow. Have you ever had a

1106
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 2: scotch mallow? Well, I'm just not a fan. I'm not

1107
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 2: a marshmallow person. Oh well, that's where you and I

1108
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 2: I get. This is what began, the psycho sexual dynamic,

1109
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 2: our differing opinions on marshmallows, and then it's just led

1110
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 2: to death and distruction.

1111
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 3: Can I tell you a treat I like to make

1112
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 3: in the summertime that I think you would really enjoy? Yes,

1113
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 3: because I do love a s'more. And I say some more,

1114
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:12,359
Speaker 3: not some more?

1115
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 2: Oh no, one anyone who says some more is trying

1116
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 2: to goddamn fool. I like to make s'mores ice cream sandwiches.

1117
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 2: Oh so you're no marshmallow, So no, no, no. So

1118
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 2: like when I eat as more, of course I have to.

1119
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 3: Marshmallow is part of it, okay, and I'll some I've

1120
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 3: even been known around a campfire to eat a toast

1121
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 3: in marshmallow sola.

1122
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, that's the only time I like it.

1123
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 3: But in the summer I do, so I get gram crackers,

1124
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 3: scoop of chocolate ice cream and then a smattering of

1125
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,479
Speaker 3: marshmallow fluff. Okay, and I'll just make a whole bunch

1126
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 3: of those, wrap it in wax paper and then put

1127
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 3: it in the freezer, and you have a Smores ice

1128
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 3: cream sandwiches all summer.

1129
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 2: Oh so there's no toasted element. I thought you were

1130
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 2: going to say. Then I bring out my FLOMBEI no

1131
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 2: tool and toast it.

1132
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 3: Truly, you have to have nerves of steel to make

1133
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 3: these though, because it's a race against time, the melting.

1134
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 2: The ice cream is.

1135
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 3: Melting before your eyes as you're trying to get through

1136
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 3: twenty five ice cream sandwiches.

1137
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 2: Delicious. Why have I not been invited over for a

1138
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,439
Speaker 2: small ice cream sandwich? It's because I hate you. Well

1139
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 2: that aside.

1140
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 3: That aside, Well, I've made a hard pivot to another

1141
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 3: frozen tree to haven't hit them in a while. I

1142
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 3: make a frozen mini key lime pies.

1143
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 2: Oh we have one of those? Okay? So on other

1144
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 2: things have you made that I haven't been able to

1145
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 2: try I make? Oh, you had my banana pudding. The

1146
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 2: banana pudding is incredible every time. It's just a miracle.

1147
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 2: And uh, I think you've had when I make strawberry

1148
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 2: mochi cakes. I have delicious, always a very nice texture. Yes,

1149
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 2: and in the summer I do strawberry rubarb of mochik. God,

1150
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 2: you I.

1151
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 3: Love a seasonal ingredient. You love a seasonal ingredient, Yes

1152
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 3: you do. But yes, the key and the mini key

1153
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,439
Speaker 3: lime pies. The reason they're so delicious is I sit

1154
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 3: there and I hand squeeze a pound of key Wow.

1155
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 2: And I assume purchased at Costco. No, because they would

1156
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 2: sell key limes Costco. I know.

1157
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 3: The only place that sells key limes that I find

1158
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 3: are is Sprouts.

1159
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 2: Is a key lime just sweeter than a regular line?

1160
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 2: Is that?

1161
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 3: What the No?

1162
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 2: It's actually it's a more intense tart flavor. Oh okay,

1163
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: I guess that makes sense because you're putting sugar into it.

1164
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 2: You don't want it to be sweeter.

1165
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So you're a very concentrated lime flavor.

1166
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 2: You're squeezing all of this line they're tiny, yes, And

1167
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 2: then you're making the curd or whatever it is. Yeah, yes,

1168
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 2: it's a cream cheese based okay. And then pouring it

1169
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 2: into a gram cracker. Is that what's happening? I pour

1170
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 2: them into a cupcake mold.

1171
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 3: Okay, and then oh, and you know you do uh

1172
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 3: the recipe I use calls for a cool whip, cool whip,

1173
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 3: and I refuse, so I make I make whip cream.

1174
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 3: And I think that's what makes that elevates it.

1175
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 2: Okay.

1176
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 3: And so then you put you you know, you get

1177
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 3: your whole mixture together and then you pour I pour

1178
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 3: it into a cupcake mold. And then at the top

1179
00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 3: is where I put the gram cracker crust, and then

1180
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 3: you an upside down like a little.

1181
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 2: You know thing. Oh, that's a duel. It's very cute.

1182
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 2: We're to the part in the podcast where we're going

1203
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 3: that this is now on Costco podcast. And of course,

1204
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 3: my suggestion for everyone to improve their lives is a

1205
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 3: Costco membership.

1206
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 2: Now, Costco memberships come in two tiers.

1207
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 3: There is the regular gold Star membership and then there's

1208
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 3: the gold Star Executive Membership.

1209
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 2: I do have one tip.

1210
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 3: For everyone in California, at least because of the California

1211
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 3: dram laws.

1212
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 2: Did you know that you can purchase.

1213
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 3: Alcohol at Costco without a membership, So all you have

1214
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 3: to do is go into the go to the Oh no.

1215
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 2: I guess you're never gonna find out what the tip is. Sorry,

1216
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 2: you can't use the tip. Now you've got You've done

1217
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 2: enough shilling for this company. How would you know what

1218
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 2: I was shilling if you were out of the room

1219
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 2: and not listening. I heard the echo. I could just

1220
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 2: feel yes. Okay, So what how THO game works is?

1221
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to name three things, and you're going to

1222
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 2: tell me if it's a gift or a curse and why? Okay, okay?

1223
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 2: Item number one, reclining your seat on a plane. Is

1224
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 2: that a gift or a curse? It's a curse? Why?

1225
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 2: Because there's such debate?

1226
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 3: Well, it's a curse first and foremost because the airlines

1227
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 3: are terrible and all they do is try to think

1228
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 3: of increasing ways that they can squeeze you for discomfort. Yes,

1229
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 3: but I think the world is very divided on whether

1230
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 3: or not it's okay to recline your seat, whether it's

1231
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 3: an asshole move or not. And because no one can

1232
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 3: agree on it, if the person in front of you reclines,

1233
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 3: you kind of have to do it to give yourself space,

1234
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 3: and it starts as a domino effect. But if everybody

1235
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 3: signed the social contract saying no, Well, none of us

1236
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 3: are going to recline our seats. That's fine too, but

1237
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 3: I mean, truly, the enemy is the airlines, and it's

1238
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 3: just a way for us to fight amongst ourselves while

1239
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 3: the overlords laugh.

1240
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I actually, wow, you've really nailed

1241
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 2: this in a way that I didn't expect. I mean,

1242
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 2: I just going to the leaving out the politics. Just

1243
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 2: reclining your seat for me as a gift, absolutely a gift.

1244
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 2: But you do you start to look at the bigger

1245
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 2: picture and the vision we're seeing as a planet over

1246
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 2: this subject is heart wrenching. Has that stopped me from

1247
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 2: reclining my seat? Of course not. Ever, the airlines are

1248
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:56,479
Speaker 2: absolutely absolutely to blame the amount of things they've taken

1249
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 2: away from us without advancing in any other way is

1250
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 2: why that said, you're wrong. I'm going to say reclining

1251
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 2: your seat on a plane is a gift, and I

1252
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 2: think if we all embrace, then it's a gift because

1253
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 2: we need to take a nap on a plane because

1254
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 2: it's the most painful thing we do as human beings

1255
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 2: fly through the air. Why can't we all just agree

1256
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 2: to let ourselves inch back a few that all that said,

1257
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 2: I'm the size of a small child. Yes, so it's

1258
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 2: probably unfair for me to say this, But the option

1259
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 2: is there. The option is that, why can't You can't

1260
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 2: dangle the option of being able to recline slightly and

1261
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 2: take a nap in front of me and not expect

1262
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 2: me to take it. That's I guess that's why it's

1263
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: I can see why you think that's a curse, because

1264
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 2: it's like, here's the.

1265
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 3: The fact that you had to jump through this many

1266
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 3: hoops to explain your position makes it a curse.

1267
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 2: But again, the thing that makes it a gift is

1268
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 2: that I'm right.

1269
01:03:55,800 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 3: And while us proletariats squabble amongst ourselves, tearing each other

1270
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 3: to shreds, are a capitalist overlords are laughing in their

1271
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 3: ivory towers.

1272
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 2: I guess we all just need to set our sights

1273
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 2: on the We have to take down the airlines. Yeah,

1274
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 2: we have to destroy all Who is going to do it?

1275
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 2: Is there any airline that's treating people like people?

1276
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 3: That's why I had to come here today to discuss

1277
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 3: this matter.

1278
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 2: With the Costco airline. Costco, it's time for your air

1279
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 2: I feel like they would make a good airline.

1280
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 3: Oh, they would make a fantastic Costco is an excellent

1281
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 3: resource for renting cars.

1282
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 2: I am so thrilled at how much information is being

1283
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 2: shared about Costco on this podcast.

1284
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 3: By the way, Costco also sells members discounted memberships to

1285
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 3: uh like those.

1286
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 2: Private airlines like chartered plane caps I've recently heard about,

1287
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 2: like jet X or something or JetSuite x. Okay, but

1288
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 2: but not something like that.

1289
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 3: This is more like it's it's like a timeshare plane

1290
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 3: where you, you know, you buy into like a membership

1291
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 3: of a you have to pay like a membership fee

1292
01:04:58,240 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 3: to be part of a club, and you get a

1293
01:04:59,360 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 3: lot at a.

1294
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 2: Certain amount of you know, miles and stuff. Oh interesting, Okay,

1295
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 2: I don't understand fully understand how that works, but it's

1296
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 2: basically like your time sharing a private plan. Wow. M

1297
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 2: oh well, maybe I'll look Well, of course, what am

1298
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 2: I saying, I'm not going You're not going to?

1299
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 3: Yes, if you the day that you purchase a membership

1300
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 3: to a private fleet of chartered planes before I do.

1301
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 2: The fact that I even remotely jumped to that, I

1302
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 2: will look into this something who's broken in my brain? Yes? Absolutely,

1303
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 2: this is why I only could eat the cookie because

1304
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 2: I'm considering buying a private plane after a single cookie.

1305
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 2: If I had eaten the Ferraro, I would be at

1306
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 2: Costco right now buying the getting plane. Yes, okay, so

1307
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 2: uh zero out of three so far.

1308
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 3: Also, I didn't realize that this was going to be

1309
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 3: a graded test based on a person who has proven

1310
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 3: to be completely wrong most of the time.

1311
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 2: Well, looks like I have outdone you at last. You've ambushed.

1312
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:04,439
Speaker 2: I have finally found my in. Okay. Number two, gift

1313
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 2: or a curse? Brazil nuts. Brazil Nuts, of course, are

1314
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 2: kind of a cockroach size nut. I'm gonna say gift

1315
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 2: because they're delicious, Okay. I look, for a long period

1316
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 2: of my life I considered the brazil nut a curse.

1317
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 2: I thought it was the worst nut in the nut mix.

1318
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 2: I thought it was just getting in the way. And

1319
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people agree. They think it's

1320
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 2: kind of a bland, large thing to chew on. About

1321
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 2: two years ago, I was seeing a therapist who for

1322
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 2: the most part, did not help me in any way.

1323
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 2: I mean, not much as obvious. But at the same time,

1324
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 2: my doctor had told me my cholesterol was high m

1325
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 2: and I shared this with my therapist as I was

1326
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 2: just reaching for topics to talk to about. With this guy,

1327
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 2: he recommended brazil nuts to brazil nuts a day to

1328
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 2: lower your cholesterol. Two is all it takes. I was

1329
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 2: extremely skeptical, I mean him being a not a great therapist.

1330
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 2: Aside the brazil nuts, it seemed like kookie science to me.

1331
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 2: I did a decent amount of research on the internet

1332
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 2: and it seems to be kind of a proven thing.

1333
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,919
Speaker 2: So I am now eating two brazil nuts every morning.

1334
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 2: The things I'm revealing on this podcast about how I eat,

1335
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:31,439
Speaker 2: someone is going to assassinate me. Someone take me out.

1336
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 2: And that is how I got one in over each again,

1337
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 2: boiled again, just when I was about to take over. No,

1338
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 2: I have been eating two brazil nuts a day since

1339
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 2: this revelation. My cholesterol has gone way down. I'm now getting,

1340
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 2: you know, and it feels like a fun little vitamin.

1341
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 2: See what this box of cookies does to that number.

1342
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 2: That's true, That's very true. But I'm going to say

1343
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to agree with you, and I've I've grown

1344
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 2: to like the brazil nut. It's deeply underappreciative of them.

1345
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 2: It's like a would you compare it to a peanut?

1346
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 2: Is the flavor of peanutty. Is it's its own unique flavor,

1347
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 2: unique flavor. I guess that may be true. Say it's

1348
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 2: closer to an almond than a peanut. You think it's

1349
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 2: got an almondy flavor. I think it's more milder to

1350
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 2: an almond than a peanut. Okay, But I would say

1351
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 2: flavor wise, it's more walnut. No. No, See, it's its

1352
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 2: own things and I'm not going to them on its side. Okay,

1353
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 2: So now you've gone one out of two. I don't

1354
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:36,440
Speaker 2: know how to keep score. You've failed one, you've succeeded

1355
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 2: in one in this game. That's fine, you're this is

1356
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 2: the one that's going to make or break. Here is

1357
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 2: number three? Number three gift or a curse. It's an app,

1358
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 2: it's a website. It's yelp okay gift, a curse? Curse?

1359
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 3: Why because yelpers are some of the worst people on

1360
01:08:55,920 --> 01:09:01,600
Speaker 3: earth and they've completely they they hold business as hostage.

1361
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 3: I mean, there are a lot of great advantages. It's

1362
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 3: a great resource. I use it regularly to look up

1363
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 3: restaurants and businesses and things. But the way that it

1364
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:17,640
Speaker 3: has given power to absolute raving lunatics is just disconcerting.

1365
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 2: Jessica, You're absolutely right. This is I think Yelp, and

1366
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:27,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to go into this further is an absolute

1367
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 2: curse because it's no longer even a good resource to

1368
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 2: find restaurants. Every restaurant on it has four stars, fifteen

1369
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 2: hundred reviews. Yes, it's and everyone's insane, almost entirely untrustable

1370
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 2: at this point. Yeah, it's just flooded with people who

1371
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 2: are not food critics, who are just complaining about.

1372
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,720
Speaker 3: For everything's And also people don't understand that I when

1373
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 3: I'm reading looking up a restaurant, reading reviews, I just

1374
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 3: want the headlines.

1375
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 2: I want the bullet one hundred percent. I don't the.

1376
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 3: Ones that are ten paragraphsaurant and that start with so

1377
01:09:59,160 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 3: me and the girls.

1378
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 2: I wanted to have a great night out.

1379
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 3: Because it was Sarah's birthday and we weren't able to

1380
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 3: spend it with her last week because she broke up

1381
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 3: with Babe.

1382
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't give it you, no one cares.

1383
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 2: I want you to get the death penalty.

1384
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 3: Said so, by the way, I've said this multiple times

1385
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 3: in the writer's room now. But people who upload photos

1386
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 3: of food on Yelp but don't label.

1387
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 2: What's in the photo? Infuriating death penalty? I'm so penalty.

1388
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 2: This is why you and I can't run a country,

1389
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 2: because we would have huge list of people who deserve

1390
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 2: to die, and it would end up being you and I,

1391
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 2: and then of course we would have to kill it

1392
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 2: one or the other.

1393
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 3: Yes, we would try to sentence each other to death,

1394
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,879
Speaker 3: and then there would be no more executioner.

1395
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 2: Just one lonely soul.

1396
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of your executioners chasing each other around a

1397
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:45,480
Speaker 3: vasque country.

1398
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't mind that, I do. Yeah, I feel

1399
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:52,600
Speaker 2: like Yelp reviews are now so inflated that it's impossible

1400
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 2: to tell what's actually good or bad. But where do

1401
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 2: we turn? Where do we turn to find restaurants? At

1402
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 2: this point, I don't understand what the world has become.

1403
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 2: I don't I can't trust anybody. The only professional reviewers know.

1404
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 3: The only person you can trust is mea and ask

1405
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 3: you do have good taste in restaurants?

1406
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 2: Thank you took me to? What was that restaurant we

1407
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 2: went to? Out in the valley? Uh, the San Gabriel Valley, Yes,

1408
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 2: San Gabriel Valley. Where did I take you? Spicy? Oh?

1409
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 2: Cine impression. Yes, delicious. Yes, I was just there last night.

1410
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 2: We had lamb on toothpicks. Is that what I did?

1411
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 2: Lamb uh some sort of French fry. It was so deicious.

1412
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:41,560
Speaker 3: Yes, And it's got the smoked ribs, had wantons and

1413
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 3: chili oil.

1414
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,680
Speaker 2: What a what a day for me? The what is?

1415
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 2: It's a pepper corn that they're putting on it.

1416
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 3: Yes, so it's seshwan uh so seschewon cooking. It's known

1417
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 3: for spice. It's spice, but specifically for the sechuan flour pepper.

1418
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,759
Speaker 3: And it it's not spicy in terms of like heat.

1419
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 3: It's spicy in a way that numbs your mouth.

1420
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1421
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 3: Chinese, it's called mo lot. Ma means numb and lot

1422
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 3: means spicy. Okay, So it numbs your entire mouth and

1423
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:11,719
Speaker 3: your tongue.

1424
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 2: And it's to me is not uncomfortable, whereas like.

1425
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 3: A lot of people are freaked out by me really

1426
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:18,639
Speaker 3: well if they're not prepared for it.

1427
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 2: Because usually the spice that I'm used to is just

1428
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 2: like oh I'm in pain, yes, and then later my

1429
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:28,799
Speaker 2: stomach is in pain. But with this type of spice,

1430
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 2: it's like, well, your mouth feels tingly or whatever. But

1431
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 2: it's not agony. Yes, and it has such an interesting,

1432
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 2: delicious Yes, you can't stop eating. Yeah, it's just want

1433
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 2: to keep putting it in your mouth, which is very interesting. Okay, well,

1434
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 2: so you failed on you failed on the first, You

1435
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 2: succeeded on the second, the brazil nuts, and I truly

1436
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,680
Speaker 2: triumphed on the third. You absolutely knocked it out of

1437
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 2: the park. We came together in a way that I

1438
01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 2: don't think anyone listening to this would have expected, you know,

1439
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,040
Speaker 2: but I think that's kind of our dynamic, which is

1440
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 2: trying to cut each other's throats and then eventually being

1441
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 2: back to back and putting everyone else's.

1442
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 3: Throats, lifelong friendship ending in death by each other's hands.

1443
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, we've reached the final section of the podcast,

1444
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 2: which is called I Said No Questions. This is the

1445
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 2: part of the podcast where listeners right into I Said

1446
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 2: No Gifts at gmail dot com. These people are desperate.

1447
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 2: They're reaching out to none other than me. They're reaching

1448
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 2: out to a podcast they haven't heard yet. Oh, they

1449
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 2: are reaching out in a big way, and they're asking

1450
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 2: for help in they're trying to buy gifts for people

1451
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 2: in their lives or they need advice. Okay, So I'm

1452
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 2: going to read a couple of these and we're going

1453
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 2: to try to advise a couple of these poor desperate souls.

1454
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 2: This is a challenge tailor made for me. I know,

1455
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 2: and I'm these people are very lucky that following two

1456
01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,599
Speaker 2: people are going to get some very good advice. First up, Bridger,

1457
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 2: I need a gift for my dad's birthday this month.

1458
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,759
Speaker 2: He's the kind of guy who buys nice things for himself,

1459
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 2: mostly expensive wine, and he hates clutter. He does love books,

1460
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:13,800
Speaker 2: but I can't keep him buying I can't keep buying

1461
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 2: him books for every occasion. It's starting to feel lame.

1462
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:20,719
Speaker 2: That's from Danny in Phoenix. So basically what we're looking

1463
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 2: at here is Daddy is turning and different age. Daddy

1464
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 2: loves wine and apparently has too many books, but does

1465
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 2: enjoy reading. Unless he's just been telling the daughter that

1466
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 2: he enjoys reading, it is illiterate or something, so she's

1467
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 2: he also hates clutter, which to me, you've been buying

1468
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 2: this person books. You're Danny, You're part of them, You're

1469
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 2: part of her problem. Yeah. Well, first and foremost, i'd

1470
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 2: be shocked. My first tip would be.

1471
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 3: I would be shocked if he doesn't already have it,

1472
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 3: but a lovely decanter. If he's such a big wine guy.

1473
01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 3: Oh okay, because it's an extra object, but it's something

1474
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:02,640
Speaker 3: you absolutely need, you know.

1475
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 2: Sure, it will just assist in the wine drinking. Yes,

1476
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 2: and if you buy a beautiful enough one, it'll just

1477
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 2: be decorative. If they can double its decorative.

1478
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 3: The other thing is for people who hate clutter, I

1479
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 3: always say, get them an experience. So it might be

1480
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 3: nice if you took your dad to like a wine.

1481
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 2: Tasting there you go, not a bad idea.

1482
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 3: Take and find a great winery, either one that he

1483
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:24,759
Speaker 3: has yet to discover, maybe his favorite.

1484
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 2: Do go there, do a tasting, a flight. It'll be fun.

1485
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 2: And now is there like a I feel like there

1486
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 2: are like custom wine websites or something. Is that something

1487
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 2: you can order? Like? Uh, like, am I making this up?

1488
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 3: It's it's like, oh, if you take this test, we

1489
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 3: can we can tell.

1490
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 2: You which wine that you would love. That feels at

1491
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 2: describe and it sounds like a scam.

1492
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 3: Well, it also just feels like kind of like the

1493
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 3: Disneyland of wine where it's not for.

1494
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 2: Serious it's not for people who are curious. Wine collectors

1495
01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 2: are not going to be into that yet. They don't

1496
01:15:58,320 --> 01:15:59,639
Speaker 2: want to take a personality test.

1497
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 3: But but yeah, I mean there are like you can

1498
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 3: have subscribe, you could become members to wineries that you love,

1499
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 3: and then you can order cases of wines and things

1500
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 3: and they might like offer you exclusives.

1501
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:12,440
Speaker 2: They'll offer you a discount.

1502
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 3: Most like major wineries, like like they have members and

1503
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 3: you pay a membership fee. So if you know, if

1504
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 3: your dad, if there's one specific winery that he is

1505
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:23,680
Speaker 3: his favorite, it'd mean you could buy him a membership

1506
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 3: and that means that he would get discounted rates to to.

1507
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 2: All other wines if he buys it by the case.

1508
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 2: And I feel like a winery. I feel like Arizona

1509
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:38,639
Speaker 2: probably has some decent wineries. I know there's a few.

1510
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're decent or not, but I

1511
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 2: know they exist. It feels like a climate that could

1512
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 2: work for a winery. Yeah.

1513
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 3: The other thing would be if you got him like

1514
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 3: some depending on what kind of wine he likes, some

1515
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 3: lovely chocolates that would be a good pairing. Oh yeah,

1516
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 3: like a recutee or something.

1517
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like, well, actually, what about a pig

1518
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 2: leg that could work with. Get him a Harmon serrano. Yeah,

1519
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 2: unless he's a vegetarian. I mean on the other side

1520
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 2: of this, with the book thing, I don't know if

1521
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 2: you agree. Like an e reader, Yeah, yeah for me,

1522
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 2: I moved to New York a few years ago and

1523
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,719
Speaker 2: had so many books and there was so much moving

1524
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 2: going on. It became absolute hell. You had to get

1525
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 2: rid of all of the books. But now just basically

1526
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 2: have a kindle, which has its ups and downs. But

1527
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 2: that might be something you would look into. Yeah, that

1528
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 2: immediately decreases clutter. Yes, although I'm very skeptical of putting

1529
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 2: all of our media into electronic forms. Yes, I think

1530
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 2: that I can disappear with one sharp grons. Yeah. It

1531
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 2: feels like we're headed towards a future where ninety nine

1532
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:52,880
Speaker 2: percent of our art vanishes in a mistake and read

1533
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 2: were left with nothing. Somebody has like copy of the

1534
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 2: Da Vinci Code, and that's all we've got left to read.

1535
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 2: It becomes our new Bible. Yeah. Oh that's a Dan

1536
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 2: Brown is God. Okay, Well, Danny, good luck with that.

1537
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 2: Get dad, take him to the winery the end of it.

1538
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 2: Get him the ebook which is full of book you

1539
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 2: recently purchased books about wine and show him that you

1540
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 2: only know two things about his personality. I think that's

1541
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 2: the goal there. Okay, moving on, I think we solved that.

1542
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 3: I think the greatest gift a father can give his

1543
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 3: children is to have a hobby.

1544
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, like a clearly identified hobby. I mean, actually,

1545
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 2: I think beyond fathers anyone, if you can have one

1546
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 2: thing that people can look at when buying gifts. Yes,

1547
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,599
Speaker 2: it makes things so much easier. Yes, Although I will

1548
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 2: say I've got a few hobbies that I'm very clear

1549
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 2: about frequently don't get any gifts to do with them.

1550
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 2: All I know about you is you love to eat cookies.

1551
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 2: I love to eat cookies. I love listening to music.

1552
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 2: I love playing video games. Oh that's right, I forgot.

1553
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 2: You are a secret gamer. I'm gonna I mean, I

1554
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 2: don't want to bring the army of gamers at me.

1555
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 2: Not that term. And I've been beating the drum since

1556
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 2: two thousand and five. That's a bad term. I like

1557
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 2: to play video games. We've played video games. We've played

1558
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 2: Lovers in a Dangerous Space time. Yeah, yes, you're a

1559
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 2: bit of a gamer. I wouldn't say that you like

1560
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:30,839
Speaker 2: a good you love play a video Yes.

1561
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 3: If I find a good game, I'll be really into

1562
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 3: it for like a month or two, and then I'll

1563
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 3: go a year without playing a game.

1564
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:39,719
Speaker 2: Okay, have you played anything recently? I haven't played anything,

1565
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 2: I think since we played Lovers in It. Oh. It

1566
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 2: was a very traumatic experience. I never want to play

1567
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 2: another game. And I threw out the whatever video game

1568
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 2: console we were playing it on, bashed your TV, and

1569
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 2: then moved on. Absolutely. Okay, let's move on to the

1570
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 2: next thing. Deer Bridger, My brother is turning fifty this month.

1571
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 2: The family is having a big celebration for him, which

1572
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 2: makes me anxious because we haven't spoken in over a year.

1573
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 2: Oh oh, and here we go. He's a diehard Trump supporter.

1574
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 2: I couldn't be any further from that ideology. What am

1575
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 2: I supposed to get my estranged brother for his upcoming milestone? Sincerely,

1576
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 2: Brian and omaha, Oh this is a complicated one.

1577
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 3: Yes, because here's the thing. It depends on whether or

1578
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:29,679
Speaker 3: not you are trying to repair this relationship or whether

1579
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 3: you are trying to send a.

1580
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 2: Message yes or permanently end Yes.

1581
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,639
Speaker 3: If you're trying to send a message, and permanently end.

1582
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 3: I would say, make a donation in his name, Oh,

1583
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 3: to the ACLU. It's a Plan parenthood any so an

1584
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 3: immigrant like support like charity something like that.

1585
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 2: Sure that the planned parenthood thing reminds me, among other things.

1586
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,679
Speaker 2: I was, you know, Omaha a few weeks ago and

1587
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 2: I went into a thrift store called Surprise thrift Store,

1588
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 2: looking for, you know, just a fun little item perhaps,

1589
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:09,680
Speaker 2: and the surprise I found was that it was a

1590
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 2: pro life s wrift store and almost all of the

1591
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 2: shirts on display said defund plan. Oh my god. It

1592
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 2: was either that option or yeah it was. It was

1593
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 2: a rough situation. So it was in Omaha, maybe that's

1594
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 2: the thing to get the older brothers donate some money

1595
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 2: to Planned Parenthood. Of course, this is this is a

1596
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 2: this is the this is the good bye older brother

1597
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:38,600
Speaker 2: by what you yes, which I'm not opposed to. Absolutely,

1598
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 2: we don't know your life. You know, we're going to

1599
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 2: give you all the options. This is the nuclear option.

1600
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 2: Just jack Ass might have it coming. And I mean

1601
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 2: he opens that in the middle of his big fiftieth

1602
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 2: celebration and there fireworks, absolute fireworks. Absolutely. But you know,

1603
01:21:56,400 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 2: maybe there's an option to men to the fence, or

1604
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 2: to try to come closer to the brother, make some

1605
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 2: type of connection to this person that you disagree with.

1606
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 3: Yes, now, something more neutral, but still like a little

1607
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 3: bit underhanded. Perhaps buy him a book, and maybe a

1608
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 3: historical nonfiction book.

1609
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 2: Oh, not a bad idea, something that kind of just

1610
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:23,520
Speaker 2: gives some perspective.

1611
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 3: Yes, you know, especially depending on the kind of book.

1612
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 3: Like if you bought him like a World War II

1613
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,600
Speaker 3: history book, you could be like, seems like something up

1614
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 3: your alley.

1615
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 2: Yes, because I feel like men like that generally love

1616
01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 2: war history. And I also feel like men like that

1617
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 2: need to be reminded that Nazis are bad.

1618
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 3: Yes, and also to be reminded that reading is a

1619
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:41,759
Speaker 3: skill you should.

1620
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 2: Brush that us. I mean, this podcast, so let's just

1621

Speaker 2: say it right now, is very pro reading. Let's all

1622
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 2: read a book. It's not that hard and is frequently enjoyable. Yes. Absolutely,

1623
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 2: Maybe your fifty year old brother could use a book.

1624
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 2: There's the other thing is by his love get him

1625
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 2: something big by I'm a jet ski. He hasn't seen

1629
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,120
