Speaker 3: Welcome to I said no gifts. I'm Bridger winegar Age fourteen.

41
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: I'm looking right down the barrel of the camera. This

42
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: is the second time we're starting the podcast. We've had

43
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: some things, so I now I'm just repeating things that

44
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: were repeated pre recording, and that's nobody's fault but my own.

45
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: On a. Lisa's demanding I look right into the camera

46
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: for YouTube for the videos, So that's what I'm doing.

47
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 3: And if you're just listening to this, it doesn't affect

48
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: you in any way. I've had my baby belled cheese

49
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: from the office fridge. Nothing could possibly go wrong. Is

50
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: there anything else? My horoscope reminded me that other people

51
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: have their own problems. That does not sound right to me,

52
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: So let's just move on to the podcast. I really

53
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: adore today's guest. It's Tom Sharpling. Tom, Hi, welcome to

54
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: I said no.

55
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 4: Gifts, thanks for having me. Of course, sighting.

56
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: Of course, it's a little rainy outside, it's a little damp.

57
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: How was your drive over?

58
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: Oh it's fine. A lot of classic LA drivers where

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: the fast lane is kind of a suggestion that you

60
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: can be like either somebody's going one hundred and ten

61
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 4: miles an hours if it's fast and the furious, or

62
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: somebody is driving forty five miles an hour in the

63
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 4: fast Yeah.

64
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: I feel like the fast lane within the Los Angeles County,

65
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: no one understands that that's what it's for. Yes, even

66
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: my boyfriend, who's actually kind of an aggressive driver. But

67
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: then we'll just in the fast lane the whole time,

68
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: and we're just going seventy five, and I ask him

69
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: over and over, please move, You're supposed to pass in

70
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: this thing?

71
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: Is this worth it? We go now. It's really bizarre

72
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 4: how uniquely awful the driving is out here. And sometimes

73
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 4: it's just like everybody's like, oh, the traffic. It's like, no,

74
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: it's not the traffic, it's the humans making awful decisions.

75
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 3: I imagine somebody has made this observation before. But do

76
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: you feel like that is because there are so many

77
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: transplants here and everyone's constantly lost.

78
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 4: I could see that. It is like a It is

79
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 4: a place where not a lot of people are from here.

80
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: Who are here like they'll be like, I'm from Los Angeles,

81
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 4: I've been here for three years now, being from New Jersey.

82
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 4: The fast lane is like the fast lane. It's like

83
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: the Autobahn where people are just like like, if you're

84
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: not going eighty, you might as well be going ten

85
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 4: miles an hour right the turnpike.

86
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: And I imagine there's amount of road rage.

87
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, it's it's on the license plate. It

88
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 4: says home of road rage.

89
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: Have you ever gone a speeding ticket?

90
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I've got plenty of speeding tickets, so not

91
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 4: in a long time, knock on wood, but yeah, I've

92
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 4: gotten speeding tickets.

93
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: What's the fastest you were going when getting a.

94
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 4: Like seventy eight, seventy eight? Fifty five? Yeah? Not okay? Two?

95
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous. Yeah, I feel like fifty five is no

96
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: longer a real speed limit on a freeway.

97
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 4: No, that's a that's that's a bizarre. It's like an

98
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 4: antiquated thing. It's like when you hear that, Like, like

99
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 4: I was thinking, like on Saturday Night Live, where we

100
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 4: write all Tuesday night into the morning, It's like, why,

101
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 4: because that's how we always did it here. It's like,

102
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: are we sure we don't want to question that at

103
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 4: any point and be like, well, maybe we could work

104
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 4: normal office hours and not be sleep deprived when we

105
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: come in to do a table read.

106
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: Right, a strange badge of honor or whatever for absolutely

107
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: no reason whatsoever.

108
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 4: Sticking to these old norms is kind of kind of ridiculous.

109
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that one ten is still a fifty five.

110
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 4: Speed one ten is pretty awesome because it has I

111
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: didn't know you could have a ninety degree angle turn

112
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 4: off of a highway where you go from going fifty

113
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 4: five to five into a residence. Like within thirty feet

114
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 4: you're in a residential area.

115
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: You're going through someone.

116
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just like you're going so fast and then

117
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 4: suddenly it's actual houses and you are still going fast.

118
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, just breezing past an elementary schools. I've recently like,

119
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: I feel like the one ten does. And this is

120
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 3: this is a topic for four people, but I feel

121
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: like that particular freeway, that stretch of it, it's very old,

122
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: gets a very bad rap, but I've kind of fallen

123
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: in love with it recently.

124
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 4: I like it. It's very weird and it feels like

125
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 4: it feels like nobody caught that this still exists yet

126
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: and they haven't changed it like they've been meaning like

127
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 4: it's like, oh wait, we didn't, we didn't alter that yet.

128
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: How'd that get away from us?

129
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: It's very charming. It has a lot of curves which

130
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: you don't usually see on a freeway. You actually have

131
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: to pay attention.

132
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, you've got to be on guard, right.

133
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: I mean the biggest problem, obviously, is going from a

134
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: stop sign to freeway speeds that like on the entrances.

135
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 4: There's always that moment where you're trying to get on

136
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: the one ten. There's a stop sign and cars are

137
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: going so fast and you're trying to just find your

138
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 4: your entry point. It's so sack you have to go

139
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 4: from you have to be going so fast so quickly. Yeah,

140
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: I'm amazed that there's not a thousand accidents on the

141
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 4: one ten every day.

142
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: I know, it's really shocking. I I should be responsible

143
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: for at least five hundred of those accidents the way

144
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: I'm pulling onto that thing, But and I have no

145
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 3: real sense of space or time, So when I pull

146
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: out onto it, it's like I'm putting everybody's life in danger.

147
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 3: And of course, like that would be a you would

148
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: get hit by a cargoing seventy yeah, oh.

149
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, is that like that would look like you

150
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 4: would be dead? Oh yeah, you would be dead. You

151
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 4: wouldn't know what it looked like.

152
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: But while driving down it, you do feel almost like

153
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: a It's like a detective freeway in the forties or fifties.

154
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: I feel like you're on the case or something.

155
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, the one ten. It feels like you'd see

156
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: Philip Marlow driving on the one ten is Stewda Baker.

157
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: He just had a steak and coffee and.

158
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 4: He's exactly for thirty cents he has had. Yeah, I

159
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: like when you've seen those movies and it's like coffee

160
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: five cents, Like, how did this go? Fifty thousand percent

161
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: of price increase on this five cents was for coffee.

162
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you hand someone to nickel for anything?

163
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 4: It's just like movies ten cents. It's like, this is

164
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 4: like wartime inflation. We've we actually live in.

165
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: And the amount of change that people were carrying around

166
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: just jailing.

167
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 4: And then now we're just like coins, what are these coins?

168
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 4: Why do we have coins?

169
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: Do you know what I did recently though, is I

170
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: got a roll of quarters and put it in my

171
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 3: car middle whatever that little treasure chest is. Yeah, yeah,

172
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: and it's changed everything as far as parking meters goes.

173
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 4: I have in my glove compartment. I shouldn't say this

174
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 4: because now my car is gonna be a targe. You're

175
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 4: listening breaking into my car. I have in my glove

176
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: compartment like a little zippy bag that shaped like a

177
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 4: piece of cake. And I have coins in it that

178
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 4: I use for meters and it's always a life changer.

179
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I credit card in a parking meter. I'm so

180
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 3: frustrating for me.

181
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. And do you know this might be getting very specific.

182
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 4: Nothing is more infuriating than the parking lot in past

183
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 4: Fields next to Fred sixty two. Oh, there's that one part.

184
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: And it never the machine never works.

185
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: It's horrible and you.

186
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 4: Can't even scratched, so like people have scratched the things

187
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 4: that you can't even read whether you paid for it

188
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 4: or not. And there's always just like a line of

189
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 4: six people. And finally she was like, it's not working today.

190
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: Let's just hope you don't get tickets.

191
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 3: I mean, if the city wants you to pay, they

192
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 3: should be on top of those things making sure they

193
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: work at all times.

194
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 4: Oh. Absolutely no, it should be a h They should.

195
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 3: Care, They should care on someone they don't care. I

196
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: feel like if the machine isn't working, I should also

197
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: have like post it notes in my car that I

198
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: can write it's not working your this is now your problem.

199
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I always thought the greatest thing ever would be

200
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 4: to have in your trunk like a fake fire hydrant

201
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 4: you could put in front of when you want to

202
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: park somewhere, and you put it there when you know

203
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to be there, and then you just

204
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 4: go and then you put the fire hydrant back in

205
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 4: your trunk when you get there, and then when you Yeah,

206
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 4: I just I don't have the courage to do that though,

207
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 4: to actually be like, set, did you just pick your

208
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 4: the fire hydrant up and put it in your trunk? Yeah,

209
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: I'm up to something.

210
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 3: I wonder what the consequences would be if you were

211
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: caught doing that.

212
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 4: Is there like impersonating a fire hydrant?

213
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: There's no law you'd fire hydrant salesman.

214
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 4: I think you're Oh. The other one you could do

215
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: is I always though it would be to put like

216
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 4: win this car. You could just like park on the

217
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 4: sidewalk and just have a sign it says win this car,

218
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 4: with like a website, and then people like, well, there's

219
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: clearly some sponsored arrangements here. There's a car, win it,

220
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: and then it's just then you just put your win

221
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 4: this car signed back in the.

222
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: Trunk like a ninety eight cord or something.

223
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 4: I'm giving you exactly why who wants to win this

224
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: dirty Kia.

225
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: I've never No, I've gotten one parking ticket and never

226
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: gotten a speeding ticket. Really, well, I'm in moder gratulations

227
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: an A plus driver.

228
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: That's what everybody says. No, you're you're the mister safety

229
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 4: on the road.

230
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: I'm actually an atrocious driver. Really, the fact that I

231
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 3: wrote drove on the freeway today in the rain is crazy.

232
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: Well, I would hear people get so weirdly bad at

233
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: driving in the rain. There' just like I remember arguing

234
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 4: one to when I was I lived in New Jersey

235
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 4: for most of my life and came out here probably

236
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 4: five years ago, and people would I would be out

237
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 4: here and it would rain. People would be drawing like

238
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 4: twenty miles an hour and be like, why do you

239
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: guys go so slow? And I'm like, it's the the

240
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 4: oils come out of the road when it rains, Like

241
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 4: what the oils the asphalt has been holding oils that

242
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 4: the water lifts from them and everybody's skidding around. It's like, no,

243
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 4: you guys are just not great drying. Yeah, that's fine.

244
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: I mean, speaking of New Jersey, I feel like the

245
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 3: last time I saw you, we may have even talked

246
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 3: about this, but I've it's just been dominating my thoughts

247
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 3: since the last time I was in Jersey over the

248
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: holidays and I saw it for the first time, that

249
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: giant mall. Have you been to that thing?

250
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: No, that thing was it was not done xanadu is.

251
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 4: I think what they were calling is that. I think

252
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 4: I think it was it's way up north. They were

253
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: building the world like this giant shopping center that had

254
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: literally like a ski yes, ski slope in it, and

255
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 4: they ran out of money and it was just this incomplete,

256
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 4: just albatross. I would pass for years and then they

257
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 4: finally got it on track. When I was leaving. I

258
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 4: never got to see the ski slope, right, go to

259
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 4: the mall with your skis?

260
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 3: People take that or do you just borrow them from

261
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: them all you might?

262
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 4: Is it like a roller rink where we would just

263
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 4: get some schemes you're spraying them with lysol?

264
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah that. I drove past it and it is

265
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 3: an atrocious looking building, like.

266
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: Oh, it's hard, it's like a checkered it does it

267
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: looks like the Partridge family bus with all the patterns

268
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 4: on it. And you're like, this is clear now I

269
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 4: know why this thing was not finished because just the

270
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 4: color scheme is bad enough. It's like clear that if

271
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: that's a reflection on who's trying to get this thing

272
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 4: off the ground, It's like, yeah, of course this is

273
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 4: a disaster.

274
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 3: There must have been a lot of dirty money there.

275
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 4: That's New Jersey.

276
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: It's a place where what are you talking about?

277
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 4: Go to a diner and then you I would eat

278
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 4: it this diner and Hoboken and then one day in

279
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 4: the paper it's like, oh, this is the diner where

280
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: the where they were like making deals for like selling

281
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 4: organs illegally, the walk in fridge. I don't know how

282
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 4: they were doing. And it was like there were like

283
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 4: rabbis involved in it or not. Maybe it was like

284
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 4: it was it was the messiest thing I've ever heard about,

285
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 4: And it was like that diner is where it happened.

286
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 4: And then I learned about that. I'm still eating there,

287
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 4: and then one night I'm eating Artie Lang comes in

288
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 4: like a disaster at probably one thirty in the morning,

289
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 4: I hear he orders two roast beef sandwiches to go.

290
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 4: It's like, first of all, who gets a roast beef

291
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 4: sandwich at a dianer? Lit two of them? Like, well,

292
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 4: look the two that's your call. But it'd be like

293
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 4: the people get like they go to the they get like,

294
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 4: oh I got the uh, like the stir fry at

295
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 4: the diner. It's like, this is this is not what

296
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 4: they do.

297
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: Make one of those five years, I think mistake.

298
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we can make that. They get the

299
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: cookbook out for that one.

300
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: What's the uh? And this just feels like we're really

301
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: leaning into a stereotype with New Jersey. But did you

302
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: ever come close to knowing anyone that was even remotely

303
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: connected to the mafia?

304
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: You could, I mean in terms of knowing, not knowing, knowing,

305
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 4: But I would meet people and you're just like, it's

306
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 4: like it is really like the cliche where somebody would

307
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: be just like, yeah, I work in.

308
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: Like waste waste.

309
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 4: Management, their construction and I mean that stuff didn't come

310
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 4: from nowhere. It's not it's not fiction. But and you

311
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 4: can always feel because there would also be people who

312
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: would act like they were connected and you know they're

313
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 4: talking about yes, yes, it's the people who were like

314
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 4: quiet and you're just like, like, guy scary, And then

315
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 4: you kind of realize put two and two together on

316
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: those guys.

317
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: What a shame for the people in New Jersey who

318
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: are actually in construction and waste management.

319
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, just making an honest living. I mean New Jersey

320
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 4: literally has the docks, and like Elizabeth, New Jersey, it's

321
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: like a it's like a put on. It's like the docks.

322
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 4: It's just where it would be. The cranes are lifting

323
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 4: those giant those giant things off and they're filled with

324
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 4: stuff and it's it's just so you can tell how

325
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: crooked certain spots are.

326
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 3: How powerful do we think the mafia is at this point?

327
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 4: That's a good question. I think they would be a

328
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 4: real headache if you had like a store and they'd

329
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 4: be just like guy, come to hey, be shamed something

330
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 4: happened in this place. Like it would be kind of

331
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 4: exciting though, if somebody came into my store and was

332
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 4: just kind of like nice place you got here, knock

333
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 4: something over it shatters, Yeah, we might have to look

334
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 4: after it for you. Like I'm running a baseball card shop.

335
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 4: I don't make much money. Please, It's like like it's

336
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 4: a karate studio. We have some mats is all we

337
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 4: have here? Are you gonna take my mass away from me?

338
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: Just feels like co managing the store you're just stepping

339
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: into help.

340
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 4: Yeah you want to help, I'll hire you. You work

341
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 4: here now, now you're the mob guys like booking classes

342
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 4: for fifteen year olds doing karate.

343
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: I like the Mafia being reduced to a pain in

344
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: the neck at this point. Yeah, yeah, I wonder who,

345
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 3: like the number one guy is. It's uh, who was

346
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 3: the like the last big mafia guy who got caught him?

347
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 4: Well, John Gotti that's like the biggest one, right, But

348
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 4: there were always these guys. There was one guy who

349
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 4: pretended to be like insane and would walk around the

350
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 4: village in a bathrobe and but was actually still kind

351
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 4: of like mobbed up, but he was pretending to be

352
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 4: just like, oh he lost his mind, and then they

353
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 4: caught him at some point. Its like, no, he didn't

354
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: lose his mind. He's just doing the long game here.

355
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 4: But just the idea that the commitment I'm gonna be nuts,

356
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 4: Like he tells everybody, I'm gonna walk around the village

357
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 4: in a bathrobe, keep the Feds off my back because

358
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 4: I'm crazy.

359
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 3: Wearing a bathrobe in public really is like the last

360
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: resort to keep people away from you.

361
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, now that is a real commitment and He's like, you,

362
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: that'd be the kind of thing when you're gonna like

363
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 4: take a fashion risk and then you're just like scared

364
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 4: and you're just like so self conscious with it, like

365
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 4: and then just like I couldn't pull that off. I'm

366
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 4: not wearing the robe anymore.

367
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 3: You're kind of just like trying to carefully take it

368
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 3: off without people noticing.

369
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, he went back to not wearing a robe again.

370
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 3: Do you have a bathrobe? Do you walk around the

371
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 3: house in a robe?

372
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 4: I'm not a huge on bathrobes for whatever reason. I

373
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 4: don't know. There's just too much work, kind of like

374
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: because it's too it's I either get too like suddenly

375
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 4: I'll go from being cold to being.

376
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 3: Too warm right with a bathrobe.

377
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 4: Like within like four minutes. I'm just like, I get

378
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 4: this ba throbe off me. I'd rather just grab a blanket,

379
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 4: grab a blanket, warm up, and then dispose of not

380
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 4: disposed of the blanket. I fold it back. I don't

00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: throw it out. Get this blanket garbage can full of

382
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 4: blankets I throw out.

383
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: I like a robe during the winter.

384
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: It's nice a light robe.

385
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: Do you like a light I would say it's like

386
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 3: a medium level robe.

387
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 4: Okay, so you can get warm from the yes.

388
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 3: Okay, And it's not after showering or a bath. It's

389
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 3: like when I wake up in the morning, while I'm

390
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 3: eating breakfast or whatever, okay, kind of shuffling around the house.

391
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't do a whole lot of shuffling. I

392
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: usually wake up in a panic and I don't have then.

393
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 3: I also wake up in a panic, but that leads

394
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: to shuffling.

395
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 4: Not a lot of robe time in my schedule, just like,

396
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 4: oh shit, I gotta be out of here, hurry.

397
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 3: How quick? How soon between waking up and getting dressed, Like,

398
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 3: what's the time there? Oh?

399
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 4: Well, it depends me and my wife will do it.

400
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 4: We'll drink coffee in the morning to sit on the

401
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 4: couch and talk and that'll that's kind of a fun

402
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 4: thing when we can do that, so that like we

403
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 4: can just do that for an hour. It's the best

404
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 4: hour of the day, right, And it's just like, well,

405
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 4: I guess we got to start our stupid days. Now.

406
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 3: What kind of conversations are you having, like upon waking up,

407
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 3: I can't imagine doing that.

408
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 4: We talk about first, we talk about sleep. How did

409
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 4: you sleep right? Did you have any dreams, ice breakers whatever, Yeah,

410
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 4: ice break as if we're just as if it's speed

411
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 4: dating or something, we're just meeting. We're seeing if there's

412
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 4: any kind of chemistry between us. Yeah, and then we

413
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 4: just talk about what we're going to do, and then

414
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 4: that spins off into any kind of discussion about anything,

415
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 4: what our day is, and then we kind of take

416
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 4: inventory of the.

417
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 3: People we don't like, I remember someone else.

418
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, it's it's very it's actually a pretty

419
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 4: positive thing. We actually kind of get each other ready

420
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: for the.

421
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 3: Day, right, And that sounds very nice. I wish I

422
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 3: was capable of that. Are you eating.

423
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: Breakfast sometimes not a major priority for me? Sense to me?

424
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 4: I don't know. I can't do too much coffee in

425
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 4: the morning with nothing in my stomach or I just

426
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 4: like I get ill from that. But I go right

427
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 4: to the line with it, like I push it, right.

428
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 4: I like eating lunch. I'd rather eat a more substantial

429
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 4: lunch than to start things, because if I eat breakfast,

430
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 4: I'm weirdly hungrier. Like ninety minutes later, I was just like,

431
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: I've started the food.

432
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 3: Right, you your body that this is a possibility.

433
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just can't.

434
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: I can't imagine waiting until noon to have my first

435
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: meal of the day. I would lose my mind.

436
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 4: Well, it would be breakfast for you. What's it?

437
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 3: I just like a protein bar. I just need to

438
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: choose something.

439
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean, I have stuff in my car I

440
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 4: keep like, like I go to I go to Costco again.

441
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 4: My car is gonna get broken. Either you're going to

442
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: want the coins or they're gonna want my trunk snack.

443
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 4: It's no. I'll just buy like a box of like

444
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 4: like fig bars, and I keep it in my trunk.

445
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 4: There's games where I'm just like, ah, I'm hungry now.

446
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 3: I just they're in your trunk.

447
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 4: I don't want to be reaching for him every time

448
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 4: I'm in the car to crazy some wall to remove temptation.

449
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 4: If it was in my car, I would eat a

450
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 4: fig bar every time I drove because I'd be in

451
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 4: traffic and I'd be just like a fig bar. I

452
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 4: gotta do something to feel better about myself. Where's my

453
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 4: fig bars?

454
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: The idea of having to like go back to the

455
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: trunk to get something that he feels crazy.

456
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 4: Well, when I'm leaving, I go. When I'm leaving, I

457
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 4: can say I could use this. I'll grab a fike bar,

458
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 4: bring it up front, drive for like five minutes, and

459
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, it's fig bar time. I'm telling you

460
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 4: way too much about my micro decisions here. This is

461
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 4: too much.

462
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 3: My trunk is just packed with clothes that needed to

463
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 3: go to Goodwill like four years ago or okay, and

464
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 3: also a box of industrial sized garbage bags my dad

465
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: accident accidentally sent me. They needed to be returned to

542
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,120

543
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 4: like a it's like airplane food where they're just like

544
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 4: when you're higher up.

545
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got an intense your senses are numbed.

547
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 3: But maybe while you're in Costco you have a similar

548
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 3: like your body has a similar reaction to being at

549
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 3: ten thousand.

550
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does feel like you're somewhere else. The air

551
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 4: is thinner, thinner at Costco.

552
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 3: Well, there's something else I feel like we should talk about,

553
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 3: and I feel like you've been avoiding the subject. The

554
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: entire time, which is upsetting me a little bit. Tom.

Speaker 3: holding two what are clearly gifts, two items wrapped in

563
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:53,800

00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, so expertly, wrap expertly like a department store.

565
00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: Were you at Nords?

566
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 4: From the sponges sticking off and the pape going.

567
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, someone went to Dillard's.

568
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 4: Look, I didn't listen. I did what I wanted. I

569
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 4: brought you a couple of things.

570
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,560

Speaker 4: Sure. No, I've heard about the dough you've got stockpiled.

623
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: Who told you this?

624
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 4: You said it on the show? Yes?

625
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 3: Oh on the ship. It's like like what you said, right.

626
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: We've recorded other podcasts, other episodes of this before.

627
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 4: That's my worst night. I am at the point where

628
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 4: I've talked into microphones for so long, and I'll have

629
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 4: a thought, and I'll be like, is this a new thought?

630
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 4: Did I already say this to a friend out loud?

631
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 4: Did it leave my lips at some point? Did I

632
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 4: say it into a microphone? Have I said it more

633
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 4: than once into a micro Like, I can't remember any

634
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 4: thought what I've done with this thought.

635
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 3: I just assume at this point I will not have

636
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: a new thought ever again, and that those thoughts have

637
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: been said one hundred times. Yeah, and so the listener's

638
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,840

Speaker 3: me alone, but these are they send DVDs.

651

Speaker 4: I have a great night at home.

653
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 3: You know what. I watched a movie a screener. Last

654
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 3: night I watched Conclave. Okay, did I say Conclave?

655
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 4: Correct? You said it right now.

656
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: I feel like anything with two syllables my life is

657
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 3: going to fall.

658
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 4: Up a movie. D you see Conclave? Now you're again

659
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 4: I'm the one saying it wrong. If we're on your show,

660
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 4: I need to say things the way you say them.

661
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 4: So enjoy those girls.

662
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 3: Here as I'm from Utah and you're from New Jersey

663
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 3: to saints that are constantly used as punchline, so we

664
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: don't there's no like real. Yeah, neither of us has

665
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: the foot up here.

666
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 4: What's the worst thing people say about Utah that you

667
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 4: actually take offense? I know what's wrong with New Jersey

668
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 4: and some people hit bullseyes when they put it down right,

669
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 4: but other times people are it's just like, oh, screw you,

670
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 4: you don't know what.

671
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,479
Speaker 3: The one that is like clearly just incorrect is like

672
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 3: that everyone's a polygamus. Sure, that's just like and I

673
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 3: feel like a lot of people still kind of assume

674
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 3: that it's real, and that's I mean, like polygamus do

675
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 3: exist in Utah, but they're like the state joke. You

676
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 3: see them and you're like, what's happening. It's like our mobsters,

677
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 3: right exactly, except for you can pick them out in

678
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 3: a crowd because their hair is braided and they have

679
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 3: fifty kids.

680
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 4: Okay, you can usually pick a mobster out in a

681
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 4: way because they're they're us generally wearing. Now they're generally

682
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 4: wearing a lot of Yankees, uh like and like expensive

683
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 4: track jacket and something that says Yankees on it somewhere.

684
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 3: Okay, I have these screeners. I've seen a Nora. Did

685
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 3: you like Anura?

686
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 4: I did?

687
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: Yes, fantastic, it's so funny. We're going to go through

688
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 3: all of these. I haven't seen American fiction.

689
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 4: It's good.

690
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 3: This is last year, so we are getting.

691
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 4: We're going back. Look movie, these are classic movies.

692
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 3: This is another Judas in the Black One's Eye. I

693
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: don't remember this.

694
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,280
Speaker 4: Watched half of it on a plane.

695
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 3: Let's see who's in this. Oh wait, I have seen this.

696
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 3: This is really old. This is several years ago.

697
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 4: It might be a few years old.

698
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 3: Okay. The United States versus Billie Holiday, the harder they

699
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 3: fall borat. Yes, this is a twenty twenty. Why hadn't

700
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 3: you thrown this away? What's happening in your house?

701
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 4: Well, my friend directed the second Boor movie, Jason Waller,

702
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 4: so I held on to it for sentimental reasons. And

703
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 4: then I was just like, I think I can let

704
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 4: the screen buy the DVD. I can let the screener

705
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 4: go at this point, yeah.

706
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 3: So I'm thinking of ending things. Okay, sure to five

707
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 3: Bloods the Father. Oh Olivia Coleman, what's I haven't seen

708
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 3: her around for a while.

709
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 4: Now. She's great.

710
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 3: She's so good.

711
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 4: I know, she started like as such a comedy I know,

712
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 4: and she became respectable.

713
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: Yes, she's so good in Peep Show.

714
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, Yeah, what a weird turn of events that legitimate.

715
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 3: Like one of the most respected actors in films. Story,

716
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 3: I tried, it didn't make it living have no idea.

717
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 4: About that those for people who don't know, there's a

718
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 4: certain type of screener that shows up in a plane.

719
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 4: This is a sad one a plane, white envelope that

720
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 4: they're usually the ones that show up first, like in

721
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 4: like it'll be like Halloween, and then you get like

722
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 4: these movies and their titles, you're just like this could

723
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 4: be a fake living. It might be nothing on that.

724
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 3: This could be about anything.

725
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it could put it in the player and it

726
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 4: just says like, congratulations, you try and win, or just

727
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 4: like you win, you're the first person to you win

728
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 4: a million dollars. Because nobody's ever tried to watch one

729
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 4: of these bleak white envelope screeners.

730
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a it looks like off brand medicine or something. Yes, Challengers.

731
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 3: I liked Challengers. I feel like the big complaint was

732
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: it wasn't sexy enough.

733
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 4: Sure, and sure they hedge their bets.

734
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't go as far as people wanted them to.

735
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 3: People are discussed thing nickel boys. I need to see this. Look,

736
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 3: I got a second.

737
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 4: Just in case the first one didn't work.

738
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 3: I can spoil a friend. I'm gonna put these on

739
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 3: people's winshields.

740
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, I like if they're and they're always like,

00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 4: March fifteenth. You must destroy these.

743
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 3: They weren't already on torrent websites nine weeks before release.

744
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 4: Exactly, And it's just like, so they're really going to

745
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 4: track down that that's my copy of Anora, and what

746
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 4: are they gonna do not send me more of these garbage.

747
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 5: I'm calling DIBs on that second Andora.

748
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 3: You get it on a lease, you win the seat

749
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 3: of the Sacred fig Now, this is something I have

750
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 3: never heard.

751
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 4: I've never heard of it.

752
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 3: When I my apologies to the filmmakers. Maybe it's good.

753
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 4: Isn't funny that that's somebody's somebody's life is that movie?

754
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 4: And there's just so much stuff now track anything like.

755
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 3: It is impossible to make an impression on anyone.

756
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 4: Like Julia Roberts has done, like TVs stuff now where

757
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 4: you're just like, what happened? How is this? This is?

758
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 3: Like, I mean, it's so strange to like be to

759
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 3: like write and work in TV and someone will be

760
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 3: like you tell somebody that, and they're like, well, what

761
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 3: have you worked on? Like, I'm just not gonna tell

762
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 3: you because it's gonna be one thing after I'll just

763
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 3: be like, well, I've worked on Jimmy Kimmel. That's my

764
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 3: first job. Because that's the only thing you certainly have

765
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 3: heard of.

766
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 4: Sure, Now, I.

767
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 3: Interestingly this is best film editing Andrew Bird. Andrew Bird is,

768
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: as far as I know, just an indie musician.

769
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I guess he's got a going.

770
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 3: I mean, that's also the modern curse that really well

771
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 3: could be Andrew.

772
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, now he edits.

773
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 3: He's editing and whistling and and oh this is a

774
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 3: grand y.

775
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 4: I figured it in with on a high note, the

776
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 4: at all controversial.

777
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 3: This is my big question. Is is it a pun

778
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 3: on Emily in Paris?

779
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 4: Well, that's a fair question.

780
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 3: It's a Netflix film. Yeah, it sounds like Emily in Paris. Yeah,

781
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 3: it feels like there could be some tie in. But

782
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 3: I and from what I know about the movie, it's insane,

783
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 3: So why wouldn't it be.

784
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've not heard one person say anything short of

785
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: that's a total piece of shit movie. Like everybody's just

786
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 4: like it's one of the worst things I've ever seen.

787
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 4: But why I didn't even open the door. I'm just

788
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 4: I'm going to start to do that thing where I

789
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 4: like kind of pretend I saw it.

790
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 3: I mean, that's it. The other thing I thought it

791
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 3: was whatever? Yeah, yeah, is it a musical? I think

792
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 3: I know it's a musical and it's bad.

793
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 4: That's what I've been hearing.

794
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: And I feel like there's one scene that's been like

795
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 3: texted to everyone in existence you have to see this thing.

796
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm I've been tuning a lot of things out lately,

797
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 4: so I'm just gonna pretend I know the scene you're

798
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 4: talking about.

799
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 3: I was sent a scene, but I didn't see it

800
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 3: anywhere online, so I don't even if it's the scene,

801
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: because clearly the movie must have seen after horrible scene.

802
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 3: But apparently somebody likes it, or there's just a huge marketing.

803
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 4: Budget, there's a huge push.

804
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 3: Why did they picked this one?

805
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 4: I don't, I don't.

806
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 3: They could have picked the Jason Bateman at the Airport movie.

807
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 4: They could have picked the one where he had the

808
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 4: long hair. When I see that, it's like, oh, it's

809
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 4: a different Jason Bateman.

810
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: That's a bad guy.

811
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 4: Bad guy, bad guy. And then like there's this Mark

812
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 4: Wahlberg movie where he's got like he's balder or something.

813
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 3: I just heard about this. It's called a Flight Risk.

814
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's directed by Mel Gibson.

815
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 3: Of course, director of the Beaver. Thankfully, he's no actually

816
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 3: star of the Beaver. That's a Jody Foster film.

817
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 4: Yes, wait, yeah, he starred. That's weird.

818
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 3: That was like kind of his comeback after the big

819
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 3: arrest or whatever.

820
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 4: There must have been something going on on that Maverick

821
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 4: set where Jodi Foster did that movie with Mel Gibson

822
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 4: where they were bonded for life.

823
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 3: Now they saw something exactly.

824
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 4: Something went down there and they are linked together for

825
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 4: all eternity and no I that, but like, I see

826
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 4: these glimpses of like Mark Wahlberg is just like.

827
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 3: He's bald in it. I'm gonna I need to google this,

828
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 3: I need to get my eyes on this. Let's see here,

829
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 3: Mark Wahlberg bald or just flight risk bald sounds like

830
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 3: a nasty Let's see. Wait, he's like I did search bald.

831
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 3: Now I'm gonna he's like receding hairline or like male

832
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 3: pattern baldness. Is that right?

833
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 4: I guess it looks like the dad on that seventies show.

834
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,959
Speaker 3: This looks horrible. This looks so.

835
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 4: Scared that these are the artistic choices being made.

836
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 3: When you said shade or bald, I just imagine like

837
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 3: completely shaved as I got.

838
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 4: Probably looks No, he's got like the tought.

839
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, puffy back of the head.

840
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, like ed.

841
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 3: It looks horrifying and like this sort of thing like

842
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 3: on someone where it's happening naturally it's just like whatever.

843
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 3: But I mean this is it looks like he bought

844
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 3: it at the Super Halloween superstore where it's like that

845
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 3: bad bald cap could fly off in the wind. This

846
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 3: looks I have to see this movie.

847
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 4: It's like if like a kid dressed like Doctor Phil

848
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 4: for Halloween, that would be what they would dress. Yeah,

849
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 4: like mad Science, like the kids that.

850
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 3: Comes with the lab coat beaker. Yeah, okay, I haven't

851
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 3: had my cookie yet? Do you want one? I'm going

852
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 3: to these are they're available at least do you want one?

853
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 5: Save me one for later?

854
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: But these are much bigger than I expected.

855
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 4: It's nearly almost a piece of toad.

856
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 3: It's almost a piece of toast. I'm chewing into the microphone.

857
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 4: Which everybody loves.

858
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 3: Turn up, turn up the sounds, lean into it.

859
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 4: This is very good.

860
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 3: It tastes like maybe cinnamon toast crunch.

861
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, like it has all almost like that. Yeah, like

862
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 4: that syrup. It's like a little I remember there being

863
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 4: a little syrup. Look. I ate the thing like a

864
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 4: ravenous dog, So I just ate them all.

865
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna su I'm stopping eating it now, not because

866
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 3: I don't like it, but because of my I'm trying

867
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 3: to be your perfect kinder podcast, but it is very

868
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: It's because I have pretty strong feelings now about Girls

869
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 3: Scout cookies, and I feel like a lot of them bomb.

870
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 4: Well, what would be your favorites.

871
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 3: I think the thin mint is the only one that's

872
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 3: actually good and has been good the entire time it tastes.

873
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 3: I don't think that it has ever changed. It's one

874
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 3: of the few things in history that's as good now

875
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 3: as it was twenty years ago.

876
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 4: I would agree with that completely. The ones that used

877
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 4: to be called somemosas and they said that's offensives, and

878
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 4: now they're called they changed the name of them, right,

879
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 4: wonderfuls or something like that, wonderful I have something like that.

880
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 4: But I remember when those showed up, just like somebody's

881
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 4: getting fancy in the cookie lab over at the Girl's Scout.

882
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, the tag alongs. Those used to be good.

883
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, there has been like a drop in general,

884
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 4: drop in quality.

885
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they I think they've been cutting corners

886
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 3: on some of the ingredients.

887
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

888
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 3: I think the shortbread is still good.

889
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 4: I like the short bread.

890
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are the other ones?

891
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 4: Isn't there like a peanut butter one in there.

892
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't mind that one.

893
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 4: I'm not huge on peanut butter, like.

894
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 3: To hear, but you like peanut butter in general, like.

895
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 4: Peanut butter, but sometimes peanut butter cookie is a little uh,

896
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 4: it still slows things down a little too much, Like

897
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 4: now I have to drink something for every COI I

898
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 4: need to drink something, you know.

899
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 3: I think that's all of them. And oh, there's a

900
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 3: s'mores flavor, which I didn't work for me.

901
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 4: No, it was very like chemical yeasting.

902
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very like frozen yogurt, artificial flavor.

903
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're being told that this is.

904
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 3: Right because we know those It should literally just be

905
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 3: gram cracker and a We know you can put a

906
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 3: marshmallow and that can be preserved in a package.

907
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 4: We've all seen it.

908
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and put some chocolate on this.

909
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

910
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 3: But I said, it's like just a literal cookie with

911
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 3: the flavor and fuse, which I find upsetting.

912
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 4: I agree with you completely.

913
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 3: It's like a jelly belly.

914
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess so sure, But I.

915
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 3: Do like a jelly belly.

916
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 4: Well where would where the test for me with jelly

917
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 4: bellies is where people feel about the buttered popcorn. Okay,

918
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 4: I hate you hate it?

919
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 3: What do you think of it?

920
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 4: I like it?

921
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 3: Okay, I think it's a bad tasting it. First of all,

922
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 3: it does not taste like popcorn.

923
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 4: No, of course it doesn't.

924
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 3: But it doesn't taste like anything. It tastes just like

925
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 3: a bad It just hurts my tongue. Sure, it's between

926
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 3: sweet and like putrid.

927
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 4: And the thing is I agree with you completely, yet

928
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 4: I do like them. It's one of those things. Was

929
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 4: just like, I don't know this is working for me.

930
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna keep going. Look, I would not seek

931
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 4: them out right, I'm going to go to like the

932
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 4: It's sugar and just get a bag of just buttered

933
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 4: popcorn jelly bellies. But if I come across one, you'll eat.

934
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 3: There's something very urinal.

935
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 4: I could see that.

936
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 3: I don't know like them.

937
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't like cinnamon ones though they're too strong.

938
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 3: I don't like any cinnamon flavored candy.

939
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, like red hot things. I don't like

940
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 4: any of that stuff.

941
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: No, and that I think that's falls into kind of

942
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 3: the small category where it's like I know what cinnamon

943
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 3: tastes like, and this is not that.

944
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 4: No, this is just you're overcompensating and making it very extreme.

945
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, and uh, I think those are the two

946
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,439
Speaker 3: owned banana flavor. Those are the three that just never

947
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 3: work it.

948
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 4: Ever, Bananas rough and grape is I like, but it's

949
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 4: just nothing to do with what an actual grape tastes like,

950
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 4: Like it's just like purple called a purple flavor.

951
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 3: But I imagine at some point, whoever was creating it,

952
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 3: that's what grape tasted like to them, I guess.

953
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 4: So, I mean, what would be this the starter that

954
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 4: would be like grape soda?

955
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, grape soda feels like the earliest form of that

956
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 3: grape syrup.

957
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's just but why how where did they

958
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 4: get off saying this is grape? Right? They came up

959
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 4: with this flavor, and then somebody's like, this is called grape, Like,

960
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 4: what's his taste? Like, I don't know, it's grape. Okay, sure,

961
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 4: I'll take your word for it.

962
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of people's problem with grape

963
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 3: flavoring is they associated with children's tailand all.

964
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 4: Yeah as a kid, yeah now, but I also have

965
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 4: a if there was a candy that was the taste

966
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 4: of those aspirins, I would eat that. Oh what were

967
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 4: those again? The saint remember, like the aspirins were like

968
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 4: very like for kids.

969
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 3: Oh I'm not familiar, man, they were good.

970
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 4: I would actually go to this. I would go to

971
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 4: like CVS and get a bos on just like two.

972
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 4: What's the big deal of each your children's ask for

973
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 4: in a day?

974
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:06,439
Speaker 3: For your heart?

975
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 4: Right? Yeah, it's like I'm taking care of myself. But

976
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 4: I remember thinking those tast it's so good. I think

977
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 4: it was.

978
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: I love a great yeah medicine. There was a sun

979
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 3: Kissed vitamin that was a similar thing. It tasted fantastic.

980
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 3: They were so much better than a flintstone vitamin, which

981
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 3: I think are awful.

982
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 4: They were not good.

983
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 3: And that also falls into kind of the Gatorade gum

984
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 3: territory for me. Oh you didn't like that?

985
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 4: It's so strong?

986
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 3: I love, Oh it's great.

987
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, well, what it comes down to is

988
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 4: I don't exercise enough to justify needing to like rehydrate

989
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 4: through gum. Like I'm not in some extreme training mode.

990
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 4: I'm like, dude, if you don't get your electrolytes, you're

991
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 4: gonna be in trouble. It's like, well, I gotta have

992
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 4: some gum.

993
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 2: Men.

994
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 3: When does anyone ever in a situation where they just

995
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 3: don't have a liquid to drink and they need to

996
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 3: be chewing I need to go to Parkle Pelps. Like,

997
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 3: I guess you're swimming, so.

998
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 4: Training for six hours at a at a stretch.

999
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,919
Speaker 3: Can't have a mouthful of chlorine. So yeah, chewing gum

1000
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 3: while swimming. That sounds dangerous to me. Yeah, it feels

1001
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 3: like something that not a lot of people.

1002
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 4: Do you get a mouthful of chlorine?

1003
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? No? I love the Gatorade flavored gum, but I

1004
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 3: wonder if that's even made anymore, and that, I mean,

1005
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 3: the big problem with that is you're not going to

1006
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 3: buy that at a grocery store that you have to

1007
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 3: go to like I don't know.

1008
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 4: Sports sporting goods and get like Gatorade gum. It's probably

1009
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 4: six dollars a pack, but way too expensive, right right?

1010
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I feel like we should look back at

1011
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 3: these movies for a moment. Have you seen any good

1012
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 3: movies recently?

1013
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 4: I watched Night Bitch the other Oh, how was that

1014
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 4: everybody was saying? Was so like everybody's like saying It

1015
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 4: was like like a punchline of a movie, just like

1016
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 4: it was fine. It was like when I wouldn't recommend

1017
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 4: it necessarily, but I kept waiting for it to be

1018
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 4: like I waited for it to be the point where

1019
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 4: we started laughing at it, and it kind of didn't

1020
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 4: show up. And Amy Adams is working so hard in

1021
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 4: this movie that you kind of just have to give

1022
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 4: her props for She's gone. She's all in on something

1023
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 4: that's very potentially very ridiculous, right right, having to like

1024
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 4: eat food in a like a dog?

1025
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 3: Is she aware? Wolf?

1026
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 4: She turns into a dog?

1027
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:37,720
Speaker 3: She does? I didn't know that. I had no idea.

1028
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 3: I mean, the title kind of tells you, but I

1029
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 3: just assumed it was like a spicy movie. She turns

1030
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 3: into a dog?

1031
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 4: Why because it's hard for your birthday? Now, it's hard

1032
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 4: being a mom with kids.

1033
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 3: Oh and so that turns her into a dog at night?

1034
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 3: What sort of dog?

1035
00:50:53,640 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 4: Wolf? Wolfish doge? He's not turning into a pug, She's

1036
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 4: it's kind of like a dog that runs through the neighborhood.

1037
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 4: It's kind of like like a German shepherd y wolf

1038
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 4: kind of thing. Yeah, not a teacup poodle, not a chiweenie.

1039
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, well, maybe all I should watch that I

1040
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 3: mean I feel like the title sets you up. It

1041
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 3: seems like, oh wow, this is a bold title. The

1042
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 3: movie will be so fun. Yeah, and then if it's not,

1043
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 3: then you're like, well.

1044
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I look, I didn't see the substance

1045
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,240
Speaker 4: yet because I'm not good with like body horror.

1046
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 3: That's going to be a nightmare for you.

1047
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 2: Well.

1048
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 4: I do have to just do it though at some point,

1049
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 4: because I feel like I'm truly outside the circle, right right,

1050
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 4: But this is like night Bitch is not campy the

1051
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 4: way the substance is camping. It's a little more grounded

1052
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 4: or but it's it's very similar territory in thematic or

1053
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 4: right right. I just have to jump in on the

1054
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 4: substance and just get ready to be grossed.

1055
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 3: Out for an hour and a half, No, over two hours.

1056
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 3: That was my big flint. That was I feel like

1057
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 3: maybe thirty to forty minutes could have been goodbye.

1058
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 4: Well, you have some very strict movie viewing rules. I

1059
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 4: do you walk out? You've actually listened to get ready

1060
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 4: for the Brutalist? Did you see the Brutalist?

1061
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 3: I walked out? Oh I was good. I mean, God,

1062
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 3: bless that movie. They have an intermission.

1063
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 4: God bless that movie.

1064
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 3: This is what I'll say about that movie.

1065
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 4: Might smote that movie.

1066
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 3: This is what I'll say about that movie. I've never

1067
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 3: walked out of a movie during intermission because actually happily

1068
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 3: and seen a line out of the men's room. It's

1069
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 3: I think that speaks as to what that movie is.

1070
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 4: You would think you were at like a weird al concert.

1071
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 4: The way, there's the line at the men's room, just

1072
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 4: like I saw it over at the theater in Burbank,

1073
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 4: which I do not like that. Oh theater. I freak

1074
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 4: out the theater. Everything's wrong with a theater that they

1075
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 4: embody that that theater encapsulates everything. Went to a one

1076
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 4: forty show of the Brutalist. Movie starts a little after

1077
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 4: two with the previews, the break. Now the intermission is

1078
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 4: coming up at like four fifteen. The intermission was very long.

1079
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 4: I went, I went back to get some snacks, went

1080
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 4: to the bathroom, get snacks, go back in. I'm still

1081
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 4: sitting for ten more minutes before the movie starts back up.

1082
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 4: And then it's another like two hours of the movie.

1083
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 4: So now we're talking, it's six twenty.

1084
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 3: You could have traveled across the country exactly.

1085
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 4: You could have flown La to Noork. The same people

1086
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 4: are gonna be watching that movie on planes and not

1087
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 4: getting finished yet.

1088
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 2: Right.

1089
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 4: It's like but and I was just like sitting there

1090
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 4: and I'm just like why is like just why is

1091
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 4: this that this long? Why didn't like nobody told this guy.

1092
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,720
Speaker 4: It's just like, well, You're not gonna be that long.

1093
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,959
Speaker 4: It's like, I'm thinking it'll be coming up on four hours, Like.

1094
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 3: No, And isn't that hard for him? He has to

1095
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 3: keep watching the movie over and over while he.

1096
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 4: Has to me just like, let's go back to see

1097
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,800
Speaker 4: nine hundred and eighty five. I think we could tighten

1098
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 4: it up, or we could probably expand it a little bit.

1099
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 4: It's probably like this scene's moving a little too fast.

1100
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 4: Let's say, don't we have a longer take of this?

1101
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 4: We can put in so long and then people mistake

1102
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 4: things like that for epics.

1103
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, like oh, this is that's just by nature

1104
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 3: because it's too long.

1105
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:34,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the greatest movies are long.

1106
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 3: I felt very justified in my leaving during intermission because

1107
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 3: everyone's like, yeah, the second half is not as good

1108
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 3: as the first thing.

1109
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 4: Well that's completely true.

1110
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm like, okay, So I got a decent

1111
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 3: hour and a half of a movie. I know basically

1112
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 3: what's going on. Yeah, and now I can move on

1113
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 3: with my life. I got to participate as much as

1114
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 3: I needed to it.

1115
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 4: When I first heard you talking about this stuff, I

1116
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 4: was like, this is madness, walking out of a movie

1117
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 4: halfway through. But then as I started to think about it, practically,

1118
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 4: you're claiming your self yes, in this process completely, And

1119
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 4: it was so bold to think of saying no, I've

1120
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 4: had enough, And I was like, no, he's right, you

1121
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 4: can just say I'm done. Thanks, best to look to you.

1122
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 4: I'm not asking for my money back.

1123
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 3: You're reclaiming your life.

1124
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 4: You're reclaiming your life.

1125
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,439
Speaker 3: Yes, you're taking the shackles off and saying I'm going

1126
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 3: to do something else with my time.

1127
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 4: I'm very impressed by that.

1128
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 3: It's the only part of my life where I have

1129
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 3: a boundary.

1130
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 4: Wow, and maybe I should get one.

1131
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 3: You take some lesson from this, sure, because it feels incredible.

1132
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 3: I mean it might be detrimental in some way where

1133
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 3: I'm maybe missing some piece of art, but so far

1134
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:02,439
Speaker 3: it's working out pretty well.

1135
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 4: Just assume you're not.

1136
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 3: I mean, we're missing out on all kinds of things

1137
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 3: all the time.

1138
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 4: You've seen enough at this point, right, I've seen movies,

1139
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:17,879
Speaker 4: TV shows, it kind of nowhere it's going. You were,

1140
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 4: you were fine on the brutalist.

1141
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 3: I hope I'm inspiring people to do this.

1142
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 4: I hope you hope, and I hope Hollywood is taking notes.

1143
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 3: Everyone complains constantly about movies being too long. Yeah, I

1144
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 3: just don't understand why more isn't done about that. I

1145
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 3: do know.

1146
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 4: It's a great it's really I think everybody thinks they're

1147
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 4: the exception, right, Like every movies are too long, but

1148
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 4: this needs to be two hours and twenty minutes long.

1149
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 4: Ours does, right, It's especially like like when these dumb

1150
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 4: movies are that long. It's that's like like the idea

1151
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 4: that like those Christopher Nolan Batman movies were like three hours,

1152
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 4: three hours watching a guy run around dress like.

1153
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 3: A bat there's no layers or anything.

1154
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 4: We gotta take. We need three hours to get here.

1155
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 3: Makes no sense, unbelieved, like you're even developing characters.

1156
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 4: Then everybody likes it, so they keep going.

1157
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, of course.

1158
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 4: I think you need to be the face of a movement.

1159
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 3: I think I am.

1160
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 4: We've had enough the one. The one twenty club movie

1161
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 4: shouldn't be two hours. That's it.

1162
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that everyone secretly agrees with that,

1163
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 3: and I do. The more people that do it, the

1164
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 3: more Hollywood will pay attention.

1165
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 4: You need to, but you need to put a face

1166
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 4: on it because they're not noticing. Right, I don't.

1167
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 3: Gonna end up with me just being blacklisted.

1168
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you're going to be run out of the industry.

1169
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 4: David Zaslav is going to hear this and be like,

1170
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 4: do you not put your face and be like a

1171
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 4: shoplifter or at a store you'll be about your picture

1172
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 4: will be behind the counter.

1173
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? Speaking of that same thing.

1174
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 3: I almost the same way about a full thirty minute sitcom.

1175
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 4: When sitcoms took the liberty of saying like, no, we're

1176
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 4: going to tell you how long this is, they never

1177
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 4: go the other way where it's like, hey, that one

1178
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 4: was only seventeen minutes. They never if they were going

1179
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 4: both ways, so, hey, this episode, we need thirty two

1180
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 4: minutes to tell the story.

1181
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 3: You need it?

1182
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 4: This one seventeen minutes? Were we got it done? They

1183
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 4: never do less than that twenty three minute thing. Right

1184
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 4: when those arrested development episodes started in and they were

1185
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 4: getting into the pass a thirty minute mark.

1186
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 3: You get to thirty five minutes, I was like.

1187
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 4: Tired, it's exhaust I was actually tired. Yeah, even like

1188
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 4: these supersized Friends episodes, when that was a thing, Like

1189
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 4: Friends is supersized five minutes more too much, too much.

1190
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 4: I didn't need this much Friends.

1191
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty two to twenty four minutes is lent.

1192
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 4: It's actually more than enough because you could get rid

1193
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 4: of the c story and we could be free stories.

1194
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 4: Probably just like just hang out with them. Friends is

1195
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 4: just like what if we're just in the coffee shop.

1196
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 3: For saying ten minutes like that, we're good. You get

1197
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 3: the ren brands playing the theme song, ten minutes of

1198
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 3: the friends catching up, and we're yeah, calm. Storyline justifies

1199
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 3: beyond twenty two.

1200
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 4: No, absolutely not.

1201
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 3: I do not care. I guess the one exception I'll

1202
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 3: make is Enlightened. You've seen Enlightened, but it's a different thing.

1203
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 4: Enlightened was its own.

1204
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 3: Yes, it's not sitcom, it's not comedy. Yeah, thing it's incredible.

1205
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 4: And Lighten was amazing.

1206
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but otherwise forget it. Oh okay, Well, now I've

1207
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 3: got a lovely evening of watching Amelia Perez.

1208
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 4: And twice. Don't play the same disc two times, no

1209
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 4: alternate between discs. Yes, it's like differences on Broadway. It's

1210
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 4: like you need to go back and forth.

1211
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 3: Of course, of course, I'm very excited about my evening

1212
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 3: ahead of me. I think it's time to play a game. Okay,

1213
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 3: I think we'll play gift you a curse. I need

1214
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 3: a number between one and ten from you eight.

1215
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 4: Okay.

1216
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 3: I have to do some light calculating to get our

1217
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 3: opening back up to Mark Wahlberg Baldings startling. Yes, you

1218
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 3: can do some promoting, recommending, or whatever you want.

1219
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 4: I'll be right back. Okay. Well, my name's Tom. I

1220
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 4: do a show called The Best Show. It's on Tuesdays

01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 4: and it's fun. And this is actually the twenty fifth

1222
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,919
Speaker 4: anniversary of the Best Show. We've been doing it that long,

01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 4: them out.

1229
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 3: Beautiful. This is how we play gift or a curse.

1230
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to name three things. You'll tell me if

1231
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 3: they're a gift or a curse and why, and then

1232
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 3: i'll tell you if you're right or wrong. Okay, you

1233
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 3: can lose the game time, sure, Okay, all right. This

1234
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 3: first one is from a listener named Emily. Gift or

1235
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 3: a curse, Chris, Emily, they're called Croissan witches. But she

1236
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 3: said croissant Croissan. It's nearly impossible to say Croissan witch. Yeah, yeah,

1237
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 3: Croissan witches. No one's ever said that, Emily.

1238
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 4: You know, when you're judging how somebody pronounces something, they're

1239
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 4: really wrong.

1240
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 3: Has anyone ever said crossand witch?

1241
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 4: No, I've never heard that.

1242
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 3: I think Burger King got in there and fix things

1243
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 3: for everybody.

1244
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 4: They tightened it up.

1245
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, gift or a curse, croissand witches, I would.

1246
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 4: Say, because it's a it's a it's a it's a

1247
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 4: it's a lighter option in the scheme of things, I

1248
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 4: would I would consider that a gift.

1249
01:01:56,520 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 3: Okay, wrong. I think this is a curse. I think

1250
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 3: this is and this is exactly why I think a

1251
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 3: croissant is a delicious thing that everybody loves but the

1252
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 3: reason you eat a croissant is because of the layers,

1253
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 3: and you know, it's like a flaky pastry, and when

1254
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 3: it turns into a sandwich, you have to squeeze a

1255
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 3: sandwich to eat it, and it becomes you basically ruin

1256
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 3: the croissant. Or you're getting flakes everywhere. That's true, because

1257
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 3: a croissant you kind of have to pull apart.

1258
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 4: You're right.

1259
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 3: And Third, I don't know if i've named two things

1260
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 3: or however you keep going four hundred. Usually it's a

1261
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 3: badly made croissant. Anyway, it's like second thought croissant because

1262
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 3: you're buying it maybe from Burger King.

1263
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 4: No, I can't argue with any of that.

1264
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a bad thing, and I would

1265
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 3: rather have a biscuit or a toast for my breakfast sandwich.

1266
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 4: I would agree with both of that. I agree with

1267
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 4: all of it. I think I might have lower standards

1268
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 4: than you, where I would just be like, ah, it's

1269
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 4: some sandwich, let's do it.

1270
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 3: Okay, One wrong so far, big deal. Number two. This

1271
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 3: is from a listener named Jess. Gift to a Curse.

1272
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 3: Suggestive billboards for family friendly businesses.

1273
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 4: Suggestive billboards what would constitute a suggestive billboard.

1274
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 3: I think like some double entendreum, you know, like I

1275
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 3: can't think of one.

1276
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna say that's a curse. I still feel

1277
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 4: like I see some of these billboards, like there's a

1278
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 4: do you ever see the Drake the Lawyer billboards? I

1279
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 4: don't think I have the lawyer. His name is like

1280
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 4: Greg Drake or whatever calls himself Drake the lawyer, and

1281
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 4: the billboard has like Kendrick Lamar jokes on them in

1282
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 4: law not like we're not like us. Oh god, that's

1283
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 4: informing this. I'm gonna say that's a curse.

1284
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 3: Oh that's so irritated. Yeah, Kendrick must be furious.

1285
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 4: And it's also just like maybe my lawyer shouldn't be

1286
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 4: trying to be funny. Yeah, it's the lasting good at law,

1287
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 4: Like you're just laughing in the courtroom as you lose

1288
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 4: the case.

1289
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 3: But the thing is you're not laughing because he's not

1290
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 3: actually terrible.

1291
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 4: It's and it's not even funny.

1292
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 3: Yes, it's nothing.

1293
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 4: It's like comedy adjacent.

1294
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 3: Everything now has to be comedy, everything curious.

1295
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 4: It's exhausting.

1296
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 3: You're right, it's it's a total curse. I mean, I

1297
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 3: will say, just at this point in history, we are

1298
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 3: beyond suggestive. What are we even suggesting? We all know what.

1299
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 3: The President of the United States has destroyed any pretense

1300
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 3: of like we're being we're keeping things from each other.

1301
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 4: Nothing. There is no reason for anybody to not say

1302
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 4: whatever it.

1303
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 3: Is absolutely disgusting thing you want.

1304
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 4: You're valid because yeah, so.

1305
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, fuck you come to our laser tag.

1306
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 4: You know, it's whatever the amount of cursing that has

1307
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 4: look I like cursing. I love cursing, but I don't

1308
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 4: always want to hear it, right We're just like like

1309
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 4: sometimes you hear it, just like I was watching like

1310
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 4: a basketball game, and then like the between things, just like,

1311
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 4: let's get this shit turned up. It's just like you

1312
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 4: need a curse right now? What are we doing? And

1313
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 4: like they bleep out they believe why are recording this?

1314
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 3: Yes, we don't need that. There's a let's save that

1315
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 3: for more fun situations about screaming at other drivers when

1316
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 3: it counts exactly, Yeah, it's bad.

1317
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 4: Curse.

1318
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 3: I just don't like cheeky. I don't like winking, you know,

1319
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 3: I think it's annoying.

1320
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 4: I'm with you completely, Okay.

1321
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 3: Number three, this is a listener named Mark. He suggested

1322
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 3: gift he a curse limited edition items.

1323
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 4: I would say a limited edition item. They can't see

1324
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 4: if it's limited because there's a limited demand on something.

1325
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 4: You're not overproducing something that would be a gift. When

1326
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 4: you're working people up into a frenzy that they're not

1327
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 4: going to be able to get something that they will

1328
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 4: be able to get, but they're getting upset about. When

1329
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 4: you're creating a false need, preying on the weakness of

1330
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 4: somebody who has the extreme collecting mentality. That's a curse.

1331
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 4: But I'm going to say, ultimately.

1332
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 3: Curse correct, it's a curse. I agree with you completely.

1333
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 3: I feel like because it is so often artificial demand,

1334
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 3: you're not going to hold these things back. The only

1335
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 3: time the thing should be limited edition, I think, is

1336
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 3: if it's literally made by hand by one person. If

1337
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 3: it's made in a factory, there's no reason not to

1338
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 3: make as many keep stamping them out when you're trying

1339
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,439
Speaker 3: to create lines. I will never stand in a line

1340
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,439
Speaker 3: for an item now, so I will just never own

1341
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 3: a limited edition thing unless I find it at goodwill.

1342
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 4: It's and have you ever been to Comic Con?

1343
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 3: I haven't and I don't have any plan.

1344
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 4: Don't do it now, you're right to This is exactly

1345
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 4: the right. They'll do these things. These toy companies will

1346
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 4: be there and be like, oh, we have an incredible

1347
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 4: Hulk figure Comic Con exclusive. It's like he has like

1348
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 4: blue shorts on this one, and there's a line of

1349
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 4: people in a panic of course to not get that thing.

1350
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,439
Speaker 4: It's just like, this is just cruel what we're doing here,

1351
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 4: and it's just like it's ending Earth basically, it's like

1352
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 4: we're accelerating the end of Earth. The idea that adults

1353
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 4: are waiting in line to buy a thing for very

1354
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 4: expensive also, so like plastic that has just a different

1355
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,919
Speaker 4: color on it. Yes, yeah, it's it's a curse.

1356
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 3: I feel like limited edition collabs were kind of the

1357
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 3: last step and everything falling apart.

1358
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, exactly. When suddenly it's like, oh, Rihanna's teaming

1359
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 4: up with Tom Sharplin with me, Well, that one might

1360
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 4: be fun, but I.

1361
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 3: Want to see that that's a gift. Now, Okay, Rihanna,

1362
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 3: you have the only you have the power. Rihanna, please

1363
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 3: so be an adult and collab with Tom.

1364
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 4: I have no pull in this one. I do well,

1365
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 4: please thank a listener, take whatever you can get.

1366
01:07:56,080 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 3: I think she's our secret billionaire listener that I'm occasionally teasing. Yeah,

1367
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 3: Rihanna reach out. Well you got two out of three? Yeah,

1368
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 3: not too bad, not incredible, whatever. This is the final

1369
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 3: segment of the podcast. I said, no, who oh my god,

1370
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 3: right there on a lease. I nearly blew past your segment.

1371
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 5: How dare you.

1372
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 3: Analise has one gift or a curse for both of us. Okay,

1373
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 3: and only they have the correct answer. Okay, what is it, Onalise?

1374
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 3: You're butting in and just controlling the podcast?

1375
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 5: All right, give her a curse? Squirting ketchup on top

1376
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 5: of fries?

1377
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 3: Do you want to go?

1378
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:33,560
Speaker 4: Or should I go?

1379
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 2: There?

1380
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 4: You go first.

1381
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 3: I think squirting ketchup on top of fries is disgusting.

1382
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 3: I think it's completely unnecessary. I don't understand the point

1383
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 3: of that in any way. Actually, it's not saving you

1384
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,640
Speaker 3: any time. The only thing it's doing is making the

1385
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 3: French fries soggy while you're eating the rest of your meal.

1386
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 3: I when someone does that, they've just now ruined the

1387
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 3: French fries for me. It's not gravy, No, it's not gravy.

1388
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 4: These not disco fries. You're declaring this is how we're

1389
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 4: eating You're playing this how everyone's eating fries. They're gonna

1390
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 4: have to kind of root through the ketchup to get

1391
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 4: to hold a fry ketchup on your fingers.

1392
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 3: Yes, the ketcher ship would be on the end of

1393
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:14,600
Speaker 3: the French.

1394
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 4: Fry aside and everybody. Everybody's in control of how they

1395
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 4: want to eat French fries. Oh I want to dip mine.

1396
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:24,560
Speaker 4: Oh I don't want to dip mine. Not just this decision,

1397
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 4: Like it's like somebody I've never been in this situation.

1398
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 4: I don't even know what I would do. If somebody's like,

1399
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 4: I'll order for the table, would shoot myself, I'll order

1400
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 4: for the table I'm leaving. Yeah, I'll say that sometimes

1401
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 4: as a joke to people, will be like, I'll order

1402
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:46,959
Speaker 4: for the table. I'll go like six uh, six Cealiberty

1403
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 4: steaks and six hot coffee hot coffee with anything. Is like, well,

1404
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 4: that's the only thing you're allowed to drink is hot coffee,

1405
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 4: And everybody laughs. But somebody actually doing that, and that's

1406
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 4: what this French fry thing is. Yes, it's so, I

1407
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 4: would say, absolutely, it's a curse.

1408
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, occasionally I want to eat just the fry without

1409
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,719
Speaker 3: the ketchup. E. Absolutely, I'm mixing it up during my meal.

1410
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 4: You go, we have a few fries with that ketchup.

1411
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:12,800
Speaker 4: Then you're like, okay, let's live in it up a

1412
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 4: little bit.

1413
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 3: And for some people this is a way of life,

1414
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 3: some people on a liise I hope that.

1415
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 4: What is the.

1416
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:23,759
Speaker 5: Answer, you guys, it's a gift. Oh and here's my reason.

1417
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 5: Here's my reason. When I'm ordering fries, I'm not ordering

1418
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 5: it for the table, I'm ordering for me. What what

1419
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 5: message am I sending when I'm putting the ketchup on

1420
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 5: top of the fries is you're not going to stick

1421
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 5: your grubby hands into my ketchup and my fries.

1422
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 3: Okay, on Aliza, giving it.

1423
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 5: Far far away from you, I am essentially marking my

1424
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 5: territory with the aforementioned ketchup.

1425
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 3: The message you're sending is you don't know how to

1426
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 3: eat French fries, and everyone at the table is wondering

1427
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 3: what's happening over there. Maybe we should take on a

1428
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 3: Lisa's side.

1429
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 4: I fired I feel like you need to bump up

1430
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,680
Speaker 4: the class of person you're hanging out with if you

1431
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:02,679
Speaker 4: need to mark your food food like that. Clearly this

1432
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:06,799
Speaker 4: is a comment on your friends, not French fries and ketchup.

1433
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 4: Don't blame anyway for my food.

1434
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 3: What not at least wrong wrong? Okay, this is I

1435
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 3: said no emails, people write, and I said no gifts

1436
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 3: at gmail dot com begging for answers. Will you help

1437
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 3: me answer a question, of course? Okay, this is hello

1438
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 3: Bridger and guest. Firstly, thanks for your podcast and all

1439
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 3: your gift advice so far. Don't mention it. I have

1440
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 3: started to make little things out of clay. It started

1441
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 3: with egg cups, and then when I realized they were

1442
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 3: really flipping hard, I moved on to bulls. So far,

1443
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 3: the bulls I have made have turned out pretty cute,

1444
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 3: perfect for the hipster in your life. But I live alone,

1445
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 3: so I have so I have no one to give

1446
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:51,639
Speaker 3: that listener this email is The syntax is tough. I'm

1447
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,879
Speaker 3: having a hard time reading book. You've written me, perfect

1448
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:56,879
Speaker 3: for the hipster in your life, but I live alone,

1449
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 3: so I have no one to give me that look

1450
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 3: that says, oh, bless your heart. These are horrific. Please stop.

1451
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 3: We could have used some periods rather than commas, But

1452
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 3: we're moving on. My question for you is is it

1453
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,800
Speaker 3: ever okay to give homemade things as gifts? Let me

1454
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 3: know what you think, Big love, Caroline in Scotland. Okay,

1455
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 3: well maybe Caroline, my apologies. Maybe this is how a

1456
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 3: Scottish email's written and that's okay, But I you know,

1457
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 3: this could have used a little light editing. The big

1458
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 3: question though, is also congratulations on your new hobby, this

1459
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 3: clay thing. Can you give people homemade gifts?

1460
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 4: I would say if there's a if there's a modicum

1461
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 4: of thought behind the homemade thing. You're not just looking

1462
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 4: around your house and saying like like like you have

1463
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 4: an inventory like a stock room of things you made,

1464
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:50,439
Speaker 4: and you're just grabbing a thing for anybody. You're not.

1465
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 4: It should It should have some meaning for the person

1466
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 4: you're giving it to, or something that shows you thought

1467
01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 4: about them, You thought.

1468
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:02,719
Speaker 3: That during while they were on you couldn't stop thinking

1469
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 3: if you for them right right? I would go one

1470
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 3: step further and say it needs to be good.

1471
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I would agree with that.

1472
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 3: I'm someone who cannot give a homemade like anything, any

1473
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,560
Speaker 3: homemade gift would just be a burden for who it

1474
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 3: would be garbage, but it now has guilt tied to

1475
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 3: it because they really can't throw it away. So I've

1476
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 3: given them a useless item that we'll just stay in

1477
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 3: their home forever. Yeah, and it seems like Caroline is

1478
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 3: making junk according to her, even it's trash. So I

1479
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 3: would I feel like, Caroline, keep those at home.

1480
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 4: I don't. She used the word trash in.

1481
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:42,679
Speaker 3: There, she said, so much as trash all the word hipster.

1482
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 3: I read between the lines like fair enough, fair enough, slope, Caroline.

1483
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:55,640
Speaker 3: Some people can give homemade things as gifts. You specifically

1484
01:13:55,680 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 3: cannot go and buy spend, spend, spend, try buy people

1485
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:04,640
Speaker 3: things that are expensive, and that's the only way you

1486
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 3: can win anyone's love in your life. Otherwise you're going

1487
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:07,639
Speaker 3: to be driving people away.

1488
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 4: Yes, I see what I see your line of reasoning

1489
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:11,600
Speaker 4: with this.

1490
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 3: Have you ever given someone a homemade gift?

1491
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 4: Once in a while, me and my my wife will

1492
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 4: say like, hey, let's just we'll add some homemade components

1493
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 4: to like Christmas, or it'll be like, oh, I made

1494
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 4: you this, Like like I like I made a calendar

1495
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 4: of our dogs.

1496
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 3: Oh sure, yes, of course that's very sweet.

1497
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 4: Something fun that's like But it's very specific for us

1498
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 4: and for our So it's not just like I made.

1499
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 4: I knitted this thing and I'm not good at it,

1500
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 4: but I just I'm just going to give you the

1501
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 4: thing I made. They're very specific, right, that makes sense.

1502
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think I've ever given I mean, after

1503
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 3: elementary school, I think it kind of ended as far

1504
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 3: as homemade gifts goes.

1505
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody's gonna be over in Michael's stockpiling getting your

1506
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 4: raft uh supplies ready.

1507
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 3: I was in Joeanne Fabric the other day, and that

1508
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 3: place is the end of the world. Let go.

1509
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Michael's. If you're going Michael's Crafts, everything is

1510
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 4: fifty percent off. Like you're just like, well, why are

1511
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 4: we pricing It's like, let's make the adjustment.

1512
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:21,839
Speaker 3: Just make the prize. Not fooling anybody.

1513
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 4: It's like a dumb game they're playing where it's like

1514
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 4: this is thirty dollars, but it's fifteen for you.

1515
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 3: If it's always fifty percent off, it's never fifty percent.

1516
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. It's like when Bad, Bath and Beyond you said those.

1517
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:35,520
Speaker 3: Coupons just lower everything.

1518
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 4: Exactly, It's just lower everything ten percent.

1519
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 3: Look where I led them. They went out of business.

1520
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:41,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, making those coupons.

1521
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 3: Making those coupons, and it feels like that's what's happening

1522
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 3: to Joeanne because it was a bleak situation. They need

1523
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 3: a manager or something and they're mopping. Well, Caroline, don't

1524
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 3: write back in Tom. We answered the question perfectly. I

1525
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 3: now have these delicious cookies. I can't believe the Girls

1526
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 3: Scouts were able to make a modern good cookie. We

1527
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 3: love the Girls Scouts and everyone should buy them, but

1528
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 3: let's be honest, be selective about which product you're buying

1529
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 3: from them. You have to send them a message. You

1530
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 3: vote with your dollar with the girl out out. And

1531
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 3: I've got all of these films, which I will watch

1532
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:18,720
Speaker 3: all of them in order. I've had a lovely time

1533

1535
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 3: out of juice. You've been begging for it to be

1536
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 3: over for the last forty five minutes. You walked out
