1
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: But I invited you here. I thought I made myself

2
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: perfectly clear. When you're a guest in my home, you

3
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no guests.

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: You're our presences presents enough, and I already had too

5
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: much stuff, So how do you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Brigard Wineger. I'll

7
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: be guiding you through today's episode. You'll be listening and

8
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: paying attention, potentially taking notes if something's broken in your mind.

9
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: We're in the backyard as of right now. The neighbors

10
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: not renovating their home, but the birds are chirping, and

11
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: we'll hopefully keep it that way. We may have some

12
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: garbage trucks drive through the neighborhood at some point. That

13
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: would be a fun little surprise. But I think we

14
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: should get into today's episode with today's guest, who's so

15
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: funny and wonderful, Kelvin. You Kelvin, And I said, no gifts. Thanks,

Speaker 2: thanks for having me, thanks for being here, Thanks Thanks Tate. Well,

17
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 2: knock on wood. Whatever they're building back there has got

18
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: to be gorgeous. Two mechanical bulls. Two you're saying building

19
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: the mechanical We're building mechanical bulls back there. I would

20
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: not be surprised if they were riding and building mechanical

21
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: and shoot.

22
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: That's the free mechanical bull access for you.

23
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: And when was the last time you're on a mechanical bull?

24
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: I think my first birthday party. No, I don't think

25
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: I've ever been on a mechanical bull. You know, I

26
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: may have been on one, because there was a time

27
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: I was going to Austin, Texas quite a bit, and

28
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 4: I vaguely remember going. You know, it used to be

29
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 4: kind of a cool thing to do on Sunset Boulevard.

30
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: Do you remember that.

31
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe there's a something Saddle Yeah, Saddle Ranch

32
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: was like a big they have and they had somebody

33
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: on the mechanical bowl. What a cringe world we were

34
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: living in, just not that long ago, I mean within

35
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: the last seven years easily easily just no sanitizer, just

36
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: people touching the same bowl trunk. Now we all have

37
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: our own bowl.

38
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: Now it's more of like a home bowl situation that

39
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: you order, you don't go anywhere, you just have the

40
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: bull come to you.

41
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember those early days of the pandemic, the

42
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: bull being delivered to my house. I guess I'll just

43
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: do that.

44
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 4: Just leave the bull in the front door, don't touch

45
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: the don't touch anything.

46
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: I'll build it myself.

47
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

48
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: And then just days and days of riding the bull,

49
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: kind of in silence, said, the tears streaming down my face.

50
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: But now I found you learned so much about yourself.

51
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: And oh my god, you.

52
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 4: Didn't realize you were baking, you were bull riding. You

53
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: were thinking, you were quiet.

54
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, now talking about I don't know.

55
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I asked you, like, when was the time

56
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: you're on a bowl? Like everyone's done it. I've never

57
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: done it.

58
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: Yeah no, you don't.

59
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, neither, none of none of us here seem like

60
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: are giving off real bull rider energy. On Elise, have

61
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: you ever been on a bowl? Never? But I wouldn't

62
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: rule it out. Okay, right, it's a good answer. I

63
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: wouldn't last one second on a mechanical bowl. I would

64
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: absolutely literally be thrown, and not in a fun way.

65
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: It would be a way that ruins the party.

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, it wouldn't be fun. Sometimes it's fun,

67
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 4: but I don't think that'd be fun. It feels like

68
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: it seems like it requires a set of muscles that

69
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: I don't use, you know what I mean, Like when

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: you think about what somebody doing it, Well, right, it's

71
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: not a part of my body that I'm like accessing.

72
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: I don't even know what I mean. I think it's

73
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: literally all of your body. You've got to have the

74
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: finger or strength, you've got to have the arm strength.

75
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: Your thighs are absolutely gripping that bowl. That's right, that's right,

76
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: gripping the bowl in a way that's like not with respect,

77
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

78
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 4: It's tasteful, No, not tasteful. There's anger involved. You sort

79
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 4: of have to transition anger into your thighs like a

80
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 4: yoga instructor would tell you to do.

81
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: But in reverse.

82
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: Do yoga instructors say put anger in your thighs.

83
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: They don't say that, but I do. I will say,

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 4: and I'd like doing yoga, and at one point I

85
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 4: was doing a lot of it. They say things that

86
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 4: that are not allowed to be said in any other context,

87
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: and you're so right there, like she'll say, seck and

88
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 4: just like just forgive your hips right now, and you're like,

89
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 4: that's right, I'll just forgive my hips. And if somebody

90
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 4: were to say that on the street you would either

91
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: laugh or like maybe go to slap them or something.

92
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: But like but in that moment, you're like, of course,

93
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 3: of course I should forgive.

94
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let go of this decade's long grudge in

95
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 2: my hips.

96
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 3: Today's the day we put this thing to.

97
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: I don't think about my hips that often.

98
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: No, And when you're doing yoga, you do.

99
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 2: And that's the point of it, I think, is to

100
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: like think about your hips, forgive them, apologize. It's like,

101
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 2: and so you used to do yoga a lot and

102
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: you've given up. Is that what I feel like? There

103
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: was a lot put into my mind. And yes, you

104
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: nailed it.

105
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: No, I did a lot of yoga at one point,

106
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 4: you know, I just really I'll get right into it.

107
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: I was a cigarette smoker in my.

108
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: Twenties, okay, and I quit smoking like on the dot,

109
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: like thirty. Like I was not turkey basically, wow.

110
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: Basically I think I had tried twice for like six

111
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 4: months or nine months or something. And that's really defeating,

112
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: is to like go cold for like six months and

113
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 4: then put that thing, you know. Oh yeah, And then

114
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 4: so what I started doing was swimming in this is

115
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 4: like nineteen fifty three. It feels so, yeah, I'm a hobbit.

116
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's clear from a podcast standpoint.

117
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 4: And uh, And I started swimming at the y and

118
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: then I started doing a lot of yoga. And in

119
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 4: some ways, I don't know if it's just some kind

120
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: of like mental trick, but put sucking on a cigarette

121
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: after you've gone swimming for an hour feels really self defeating.

122
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: It's like pooping after you shower.

123
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 4: I think it's like it's like, y'all just hold the

124
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: poop for a couple hours, just so it's not so

125
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 4: you know.

126
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: Like immediately demolishing what you've done.

127
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 3: Right, right, all that soap.

128
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 4: And so I would swim and I would be so

129
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: tired that I would wouldn't want to say, in your

130
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 4: lungs feel, you know, huge and so and then I

131
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 4: did a lot of yoga, and that was the way

132
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: I would every time I wanted to smoke a cigarette,

133
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: I would do like fifteen minutes of yoga.

134
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, like ten minutes of yoga just breathing heavy things. Yeah,

135
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: I think that'll make you focus on your lungs.

136
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 4: Combined with really not wanting may be a smoker, right, right,

137
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 4: it's but I miss it. Like when I what I

138
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 4: smell a cigarette, I have like a Pavlovian like because

139
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 4: I was I was such a asshole in my twenties

140
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 4: and I like sort of like, oh, I remember that guy,

141
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: like like.

142
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, tied up with all of these fond memories of

143
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: life being full of possibilities exactly late nights out with

144
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: friends smoking on the corner.

145
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you might associate with like you know, Hong

146
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 4: Kong cinema or.

147
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah cool, like of course there's a little edge.

148
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, So but you say goodbye to that guy now

149
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: it's just Lacroix, and you'll.

150
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: Go, I also have their edge, right, and they're place

151
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: in Hong Kong Cinema.

152
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 4: Right would And what I mean by that is I

153
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 4: smoke Lacroix. That sounds extremely dangerous, like that spoon like mess.

154
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: That's a TikTok trend, just waiting to Oh my god,

155
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 4: execs for thinking right now in their cars like wait

156
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 4: a minute, that's that can we is.

157
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: That they've probably hit the ceiling with say, with normal

158
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: Lacroix ysage. So we've got to find another way. This

159
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: is expansion, This is the mainlining.

160
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: This stuff free base, it'll come out with like a

161
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 4: corporate response saying not to do it. He's yeah, they don't,

162
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: but if you do, all new Lacroix spoons will be

163
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 4: available at your local supermarket.

164
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: It's not a bad idea, Lacroix. You've been looking for

165
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: that new edge.

166
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

167
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now let me ask you about beginning smoking. Was

168
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: that was? It? Was it like a peer pressure situation,

169
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: was a thing like, well, maybe I'll just start smoking.

170
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: It was even more shameful.

171
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 4: It was for like a graduate film that I had

172
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 4: that I had agreed to do, and I was thinking,

173
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 4: I was nineteen and they needed a guy who could skateboard.

174
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: Okay, so all I had to do was skateboard down

175
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: the street. I didn't even have like a good role

176
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: in this thing. And I remember they were like, it

177
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 2: would be cool if you.

178
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 4: If you smoked a cigarette or something like that, because

179
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 4: everybody knows skateboarding and cigarettes. Right, you had some glass, Yeah,

180
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: was playing, Yeah, probably no sleeves, I'm guessing, and uh,

181
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 4: Born than the Wild was definitely playing. And uh, I

182
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 4: remember they sent the wardrobe girl to come teach me

183
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 4: how to smoke a cigarette, and so I smoked like

184
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 4: five cigarettes for like, you know, for free, zero money

185
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 4: for a movie that nobody will ever see. Of course, yeah, yeah, yeah,

186
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 4: decades ago. And but at the end of that, I

187
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: was like, I can smoke a cigarette now. And then

188
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 4: the next time I think I was, you know, a

189
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 4: round cigarettes, I was like, give me one.

190
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: And then for about nine.

191
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 2: Years, so when she was teaching you, was like how

192
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 2: to hold it in your hand, how to just inhale

193
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: in general.

194
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: And I remember she she was gross and and she

195
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 4: just didn't seem like the kind of person. She seemed

196
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: unhealthy and bitter and you know, and and so I'm

197
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 4: learning and smelled you know, like cigarettes, because she was

198
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 4: a smoker. I mean, who's the person that you're like, hey,

199
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 4: send that person to go to cigarette coach. Not not

200
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 4: to be you know, pejorative about cigarette smokers, because like

201
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: I said, I miss it, and I do think it's cool.

202
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: Teens. Are you listening.

203
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: I do respect people who smoke more than people who don't.

204
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna probably untold health benefits that we've yet

205
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: to discovered because of cultural bias. So I'm really trying

206
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: to play both sides. You of course, so you can't

207
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 4: alienate anyone there no.

208
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: Right, So and then you just smoke because you're dumb

209
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: and you're insecure and you need now you look at

210
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: your phone. But then you needed some reason to step outside,

211
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: for something to do with your hands, little something to

212
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: o their hands, the little reason to take deep breaths.

213
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: So why not inhale tar and corporate? You know, right?

214
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: And so those first five cigarettes, what was I've never

215
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: smoked a cigarette before.

216
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: It is today the day.

217
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: Today's the day. I hope that, hopefully the rest of

218
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: this episode we find a giant carton of cigarettes in

219
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: a bag or something. Oh. I feel like some people

220
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: were like initially kind of lightheaded or nauseous when they saw.

221
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, like vomit vomited.

222
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: Is wow?

223
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 4: Light headed? Yeah, it's a terrible thing to do. I

224
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 4: can't imagine. I mean you should. It should be actionable

225
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 4: to take a nineteen year old who's on a skateboard,

226
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 4: who was hired because he could skateboard.

227
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: Because he's very cool. Yeah, because he just has one

228
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: thing missing.

229
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: I mean, you have a child.

230
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 4: I probably had like a little spinny fan on my

231
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: hat or something, you know, like to bring him to

232
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 4: the side of the tent because we were on a tent.

233
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 4: We were outside of Okie Dog. I don't know if

234
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 4: Oki Dog still exists. Well, I've heard of Okie Dog.

235
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 4: It may not still, it may not exist anymore. But

236
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 4: it was a also gross hot dog place that involved

237
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 4: hot dogs being chopped up and put inside of a

238
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: tortilla with three fried beans.

239
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, that's why I've heard of this. That doesn't

240
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: sound good at all.

241
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure they offer vegan options and sure

242
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 4: various still not getting any better from maybe yeah, and

243
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 4: then they and so we were outside of Oaky Dog,

244
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 4: you know, at three o'clock in the morning for a

245
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 4: night shoot. And I was just there to skate, to

246
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: ride a skateboard, and next thing I know, I have,

247
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 4: you know, pre cancerous habits.

248
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: Eating hot dogs and smoking cigarettes and just living the

249
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: life every twenty year old dreams, right.

250
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean at this age now, I can't imagine

251
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 4: looking at a nineteen year old and being like, I'm

252
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 4: going to instill something in you that will take you

253
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 4: a decade to fight.

254
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty crazy. And was the film produced and

255
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: directed by other students?

256
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was one of those things.

257
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: I think I was, you know, I was a theater

258
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 4: kid at UCLA, and it was one of those things

259
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 4: that people were looking for graduate films and things to

260
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 4: get on the reel or get of course, of course,

261
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: and it was worth it. And has it worked in

262
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 4: the film in the last five years. I don't think

263
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 4: I ever saw the film Wow, And you probably don't

264
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: want to. Well, I think it'll probably come out soon.

265
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: It'll do. I think it'll do quite well in today's market.

266
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 4: My is my guest, and I have no reason to

267
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: believe that, but I just feel like this is this

268
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 4: is gonna work, and this.

269
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: Is the time, this is the time. And so you skateboard?

270
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: Do you actually skateboard?

271
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: I did.

272
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 4: I don't the cost benefit calculus of skateboarding in your

273
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 4: thirties and forties really changing, right.

274
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 3: I do surf quite a lot. Terrible.

275
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: I've been surfing for my whole life. But you're still terrible.

276
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 4: I'm still terrible. It's one of those things.

277
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: It's like, do you have anything like that where you're like,

278
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: you've been doing it for almost everything, and you're no,

279
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: but you've been doing it forever and you're okay with kidding.

280
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: I kind of can't tell you one thing that I'm

281
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: like oh, I'm an ex I've started young, and how

282
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: I'm an expert.

283
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 4: No, but something you do a lot that you're like

284
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 4: the ceiling for me is already touching the top of

285
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 4: my head and I've been touching it for several years.

286
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: Video games. Video games are something I play so much.

287
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: You and I'm still bad. Really why but you love it.

288
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 2: I still have a good time doing it. But like

289
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: the moment I'm like playing like a game with another person. Yeah, Like, oh,

290
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: I'm I guess I'll just never be good at this.

291
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it becomes clear your shame is public right right

292
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 4: right Well. With surfing, I there are days out there

Speaker 4: way too much into this thing.

302
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: Should we help? I have my finger on nine one

303
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: one just in case. Let's keep an eye on it.

304
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: When you're when you say, do a thing on a surfboard,

305

308
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 4: it is private, generally private. You go with friends sometimes,

309
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 4: but you can also go alone, which I do because

310
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 4: I go early.

311
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,200

313
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: with quite a bit, but a lot of times it's alone.

314
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 4: And then it's just all dependent on the waves. And

315
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 4: in La County we kind of have crappy waves, right,

316
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 4: So if you were to live in San Diego, Orange County,

317
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: or Hawaii or Mexico or something, Santa Barbara even, you

318
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 4: get much better waves. But here there it's all just

319
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,479
Speaker 4: what we call gravel.

320
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just kind of groveling.

321
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: Okay, but it's good for you.

322
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: It's sort of meditative and then you feel cool.

323
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: Of course. Yeah, on top of the world, do you

324
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: ever travel to surf.

325
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 4: I've served Hawaii, I've served up and down California. I

326
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 4: have never served Mexico, actually, which is a weird thing

327
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 4: for somebody to serve this long, right, But there's great

328
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: waves in Mexico and it's warm.

329
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: Where is Hawaii kind of the destination for surfing.

330
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 4: I mean some people might say, no, yeah, it's why

331
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: it's the center of the universe. Yeah, but yeah, that's

332
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 4: something I'm bad at or generally not as good as

333
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 4: you would absolutely scientifically think, right. And another thing like

334
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 4: that is guitar and piano. Like I because I'm an

335
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 4: Asian American kid, you know, in California, I took piano

336
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 4: or violin wanted it too, or you just get sent

337
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 4: to an island, I think. And so I took piano

338
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: lessons for eleven years, and I'm so bad at me.

339
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: I took piano lessons for about the same amount of time.

340
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: Don't got it?

341
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely so bad.

342
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: I don't got it.

343
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I could, like form a chord, sure, exactly,

344
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: but I can't site read.

345
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 4: No, I've been at the same level since like ninety three.

346
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I started, I probably learned for the

347
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: first three years and then I I mean I begain

348
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 2: resenting it very quickly. And then it was mad that

349
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: I had to go to piano lessons, yes, and learned

350
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: nothing for seven to eight years. Shut that door in

351
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: your brain, yes, yes, which is such a shame.

352
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, such a shame.

353
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: I'd love to be at an rdstrum and sit down

354
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: at the piano and play for the other shop.

355
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 3: Yes.

356
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 4: And our piano teacher hated me, and my mom was

357
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 4: convinced she could find him a wife, and so so

358
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 4: every week she would present him with new candidates. To Mary,

359
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 4: did you ever have piano recitals?

360
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: Yes?

361
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 4: And I did them with my brother. Sometimes we had duets.

362
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: They were horrifying and terrible, and they would address us

363
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 4: the same, Oh, that's adorable. No, it's a form of

364
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 4: slow torture over months. And then I don't know if

365
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 4: you ever did this, but there was like an aptitude

366
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 4: test we would also take.

367
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: No, it sounds like you went to a much better

368
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 2: piano teacher than I did. I don't know why they

369
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: would do that, but it was a way of like

370
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 2: like signifying your level, so, you know, like standardized testing

371
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: or something.

372
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: Got I hated it.

373
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: Did you would you pass the tests? Though?

374
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 4: I probably only did two and yes, but with a

375
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 4: lot of anger and like, my brain is so attached

376
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 4: to the emotional place.

377
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: You were not proud to pass the test.

378
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 3: No.

379
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: No, I vaguely remember literally falling asleep during lessons. So

380
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: I think my my teacher was you know, my teacher

381
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 4: was justified. Imagine like teaching somebody and then realizing they're asleep.

382
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: Oh of course, yeah, that's what feeling. Now. Was your

383
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: brother on the same page basically, or was he He

384
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 2: was a violin and then so you were like at

385
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 2: the same piano playing. No, and then he also had

386
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: to take piano for a moment, so he was no. No,

387
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: none of this was consensual. This is all.

388
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 3: This is all completely non consensual. Parent.

389
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 2: Did you get to pick these songs you would play

390
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: at the result?

391
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

392
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, no, you did go to a an objectively

393
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 2: better piano teacher than me.

394
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 4: We got to pick the song. We were all over

395
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 4: the place, so like Forever Your Girl by Paula Abdul,

396
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 4: and it.

397
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: Was like, that's not that far from the one I

398
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 2: can really remember. Is I played I'll Be There for You,

399
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: the Friends theme song.

400
00:18:59,280 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 3: Oh, I'll be there.

401
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 2: I was about the bon Jovi version. Oh yeah, so

402
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: you're playing TV theme song? Yes? Uh. Started like from

403
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 2: like second to four fourth grade. I was playing like

404
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: the big hits from the Disney movies and then got

405
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 2: into us like I'll play all day I'll be there

406
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: for you. That was the last I think that was

407
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: probably like I.

408
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 3: Topped functional, you know what I mean.

409
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 4: That means you're thinking in the future, You're thinking, I'm

410
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 4: going to play this at parties.

411
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 3: This is this is.

412
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: Something that's going to come in handy because I'm parties

413
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: that sort of welcoming people.

414
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 4: In if if they ever come out with announcement from Friends, Hey,

415
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 4: we lost the person who normally played that every week,

416
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: and we need someone to play it.

417
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 3: You you were ready.

418
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: I was absolutely ready to go should the rem brands

419
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: be canceled, and then they needed a pianist to kind

420
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: of step in and play the song fly show.

421
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 3: Every Thursday, because that's how they did that.

422
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 2: Warmed up the audience with my my piano stylings.

423
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: Very few people nationwide were ready, and yet there you are.

424
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: I would love for that show to start with just

425
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: a piano version of the song. It's not too late, friends, creators,

426
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: there's always a reboot.

427
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that would be a reason for to get

428
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: everybody back. Oh absolutely, that would be the only reason. Hey,

429
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: we had an idea call me back. We don't have

430
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 4: a lot of money, but but.

431
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 2: We do have a pianist who can play the first

432
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: the opening riff. Hey, Lisa, I know you're busy and

433
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: you're in Europe, but.

434
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: We found this guy.

435
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 2: Like this before.

436
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 4: One of my producers were listening to a podcast and

437
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 4: we found this guy.

438
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: He's ready to go. It's never too late. It's never

439
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: too late. Well, that's very exciting to hear. It's nice

440
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: to hear another person who took years of piano and

441
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 2: has almost nothing to show for us.

442
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 3: That's right.

443
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: It's it's good to spend time on something that you

444
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 4: have no receipts from. And I also think it's generally

445
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 4: good to be sort of like decent to mediocre at

446
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: a couple of things that you do regularly. I think

447
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 4: I think that's healthy, and I think that's probably I'm

448
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 4: going to be ageis here, but I think that's something

449
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 4: that maybe younger people aren't doing as much because they

450
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 4: have so many other things to do.

451
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: Right, They've got a whole map of things.

452
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, you're you're just what am I? What else

453
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: am I gonna do? I'll just go play bad piano

454
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 3: for an hour.

455
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, to just kind of struggle through something and be like,

456
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: well I did it.

457
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

458
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 4: What about Minecraft? What's Minecraft? That's the person from the

459
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 4: future to talk to you.

460
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of struggling and having a hard time doing things,

461
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: I imagine you have a slightly hard time following directions.

462
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: I host a podcast that you're currently on called I

463
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: said no Gifts, and you agreed to be on it

464
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago, and I was so excited. I

465
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: thought it rings a bell, Calvin's so funny. This will

466
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: be a delightful time in the backyard, and then we'll

467
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 2: get to kind of go our separate way ways with

468
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 2: fond memories of one another. So I was a little surprised,

469
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: little I won't say upset by shaken. I wasn't even shaken.

470
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 2: I'll just say things went through my mind when you

471
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 2: entered my backyard holding a brown bag with some i'll

472
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 2: say it delicious tissue popping out of the top of it.

473
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: It's green, it's white as sparkles all over it.

474
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: You can eat it.

475
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: I will be swallowing both pieces on this podcast. Well,

476
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: listen to me, die. I was a little surprised to

477
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: see you with this bag, so I have to ask,

478
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: is this a gift for me?

479
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 3: It is?

480
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: Okay.

481
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 4: You should know that I don't like your rules and

482
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 4: I don't care about you should know that if it's

483
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: not clear enough, So this is guns are blazing.

484
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 2: Let's just be upfront about it.

485
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 4: It's not an edible gift, and yet I want you

486
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: to eat it, and you will eat it.

487
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: You came here as an assassin, let's just be very clear.

488
00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 4: A terrible assassin that slowly watches his victims eat. The

489
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 4: least accurate assassin on the planet. Yeah, not batting a

490
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 4: high average A gift.

491
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 2: Has never heard of a sniper rifle, but has plenty

492
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: of gift bags to go around. We'll should I open

493
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: this here on the podcast?

494
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 3: I think you shouldn't. I think that would be fantastic.

495
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not I'm not gonna this little game of

496
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: chicken we're playing. I'm gonna keep just driving the car

497
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: down the road, and I'm going to open the gift.

498
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 5: Viewers are gonna love it.

499
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 2: Let's get this tissue. That's a nice light tissue.

500
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 3: The first time you've done it.

501
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 4: Okay, you do have a podcast, apparently, Oh.

502
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: I've got a podcast. Baby. We've got all the tissue

503
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: out and I'm now okay. There are two objects. The

504
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 2: first should I take this one out?

505
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 3: Yes?

506
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 2: The first time saying oh, first I thought it was

507
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 2: just toilet paper.

508
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 3: It's not just toilet paper.

509
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 2: But now I'm saying it's san Rio brand toilet paper.

510
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 3: Do you know this character?

511
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: I don't. I think I might know this character. Is

512
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: this the egg Yo the egg Yolk?

513
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, his name is good At Tama, and I've always.

514
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: Been curious about him. I first became aware of him

515
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: there was like a crossover with a Hamburger restaurant. Sure,

516
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: but at the time, I don't. I don't think I

517
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: knew he was a Sanrio character.

518
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's very popular.

519
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: He's part of the Hello Kitty family.

520
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's part of that family. I

521
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 4: mean maybe he's trying to be in that family and

522
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 4: hasn't yet succeeded.

523
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 3: But today could be a big step.

524
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it takes a little promotional, absolute little platform.

525
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: So I wasn't aware that san Rio had separate universes.

526
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: I wasn't either.

527
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 4: I think you're mistaking me for an employee of the

528
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 4: Sanrio corporation, but I will brand. I did bring you

529
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 4: good At Tama, so he and I mightnnce be pronouncing

530
00:24:58,560 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: that wrong, but I did look it up.

531
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: His gou day Gouda.

532
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 4: I think is how you pronounce it is a like

533
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 4: a term for lazy in Japanese. Okay, tamago means egg.

534
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 4: He's lazy egg. Okay, So because you know I can,

535
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 4: I can say this. I think Asian people like to

536
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 4: decide who's lazy and who's not based on my parental upbringing.

537
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: I think that's really it's really important to figure out, Oh,

538
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 4: this character is not.

539
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 2: Lazy, this character is lazy. Well this I'll speak for everyone.

540
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: This egg is clearly lazy. Yeah, he's clearly lazy. It's

541
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: the laziest little egg in the world.

542
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 4: I'll never see him working, yeah, or even like looking

543
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 4: for work, you know, like it's one thing to not work,

544
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 4: it's another thing if you're looking.

545
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 2: Right actively, like going to the temp agency.

546
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 4: Is this sort of No, he's never even when you

547
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 4: ask him what he's up to, it's not a good answer.

548
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 2: I mean, I will, but I will. I'm going to

549
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: try to feel what this character is feeling. He looks

550
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: also clinically depressed.

551
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 4: You know, that's more empathic than I think most people

552
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 4: have been to him.

553
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: Of course, he looks like he doesn't care if he

554
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: lives or dies.

555
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 4: No, I think that's really what's going on. It should

556
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 4: be clinically depressed egg whatever that Japanese harder to sell,

557
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 4: harder to sell, harder to sell. But he is adorable

558
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 4: and he does come in plush toys and stickers and

559
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: apparently now toilet paper.

560
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: Toilet paper, uh design character design wise. I have notes about.

561
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 4: The Let's do them because I'm sure they're listening and

562
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: we can put them in email form.

563
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 2: Yeah. I will type this up later on. Lisa is

564
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: taking notes as well. Sanrio Corp. Will send these to

565
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 2: h Q. But the yo, he is the yoke on

566
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 2: top of the white. He's almost using the white as

567
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: a blank.

568
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 3: That's true. I think that's what's going on.

569
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 2: Which choos to me the Sanrio Corporation has a fundamental

570
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 2: misunderstanding of how an egg even works.

571
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 4: So this is more of a biobiological note.

572
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 2: Right, It's like the egg is all one piece?

573
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 3: Is that true? Is that true?

574
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 2: Well? I work for Big Egg. I have kind of

575
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: an egg farm.

576
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're here with an agenda and I can hear it,

577
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 4: and nobody's buying this. I think he I think the

578
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 4: egg we're gonna make up science right now.

579
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 2: Yes, I think that that's I mean that we won't

580
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: be the first podcast to do it.

581
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 4: I think the egg is the embryonic material, and yoke

582
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 4: around him is like some type of sack that feeds

583
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 4: the embryo.

584
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: No one will ever eat an egg again.

585
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 4: And you don't, Yeah, I don't think these are the

586
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 4: kinds of things you want to have in your brain.

587
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: You have to push these things away absolutely anytime you're

588
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 2: eating an animal product.

589
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 4: And we wonder why he's depressed because he knows something

590
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 4: that we all just.

591
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 2: Push down at push away. So I wonder how he

592
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: gets around? Oh, to fly around like a saucer, you're

593
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: it's pretty revealing that you have never.

594
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 4: Been depressed, because when you're depressed, you're not going anywhere.

595
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm crawling along the kitchen floor.

596
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 3: In today's world, you're ordering in.

597
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: How does he What I'm asking is how does he

598
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: get from the couch to the bed? Uh? He?

599
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 4: I think he has figured it out because I think

600
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 4: the bed is hit with him all the time.

601
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: That's the point of Yeah, how does he lay in

602
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 2: the shower crying? How does he lie sit still quietly?

603
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 3: I go after a good tama here.

604
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: Because he danced onto my podcast, and now I've got

605
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: questions that everyone was begging to be answered.

606
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 4: I will say Japanese culture is fond of personifying food.

607
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of like sushi toys.

608
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: When you go to Japan, you see a lot of that.

609
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: Have you been? I have? I've been once? And uh yeah,

610
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 2: I mean they're delightful characters everywhere. Yeah, and and.

611
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 4: And like surreal and kind of like almost psychedelic level

612
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 4: like imagination of like right, you know.

613
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 2: I mean, for example, depressed egg.

614
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 4: Depressed egg, that's totally fine to wipe your ass apparently

615
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 4: you know what I want.

616
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: Have you been to Japan?

617
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 4: Been a couple of times, but it's been a while.

618
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 4: I think the last time I went was over ten years.

619
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 4: Where did you go in Japan? I went to I've

620
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 4: been to Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama and Tokyo and BG.

621
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

622
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 4: I was hoping you would ask this. This is why

623
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 4: I requested that you asked this. But I will say,

624
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 4: I don't know if we have a moment for this.

625
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 4: But I used to work for a Japanese barbecue restaurant

626
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 4: which was Yukaku Senaga. I opened that location, Breg.

627
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: What did you do there? I was a waiter Okay wonderful.

628
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 4: And apparently I wasn't I wasn't a bad waiter because

629
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 4: they wanted to be a man, me to be a manager.

630
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: Oh I love to hear that.

631
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 4: So they sent me to Japan for seven days what

632
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 4: and on a corporate trip. And I pretended to want

633
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 4: to be a manager, so I could go to Japan

634
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 4: for seven days. And Yukaku has like twenty or thirty locations.

635
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 4: Let's say in America, there's eight hundred fifty in Japan.

636
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 2: Okay, oh my yeah, They're like Starbucks right there on

637
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: every corner.

638
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 4: And so there was this big giant like corporate uh

639
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 4: how do you say, like conference where five locations one

640
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 4: like location. It was almost like the Oscars, and it

641
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 4: was fake smoke, no, and each one came out. The

642
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 4: first one comes out, and I have an earwig and

643
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 4: so I can hear an English translator this is. And

644
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 4: the first one comes out, and there's like ten people

645
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 4: that work at this this location, and they're dancing to

646
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 4: kiss me by six nuts and on the richer and

647
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 4: it's like kiss me and they and they all hit

648
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: the stage and then the first person starts talking or

649
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 4: the only person and they start showing like profit and

650
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 4: lost grafts, and he's I'm not going to do the

651
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 4: impression because I can't seak Japanese, but he's doing like

652
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 4: impassioned Japanese. And over the course of like forty five minutes,

653
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 4: he starts screaming and crying, Oh my god about but

654
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 4: in my ear it's going like and then we introduce

655
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 4: to the hour in June that raised profits, that raised

656
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 4: Kieran Draft beer profits by five percent, and he's.

657
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: Like, ah, he's crying tears. It's not one hundred percent true.

658
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: I was with one other guy and we were looking

659
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 2: at each other like we need to leave or stay forever.

660
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 4: This has gone from conference to cold crazy. And then

661
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 4: so then we take a break and we think, okay,

662
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 4: that's wild. And then the second presentation happens, same thing,

663
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 4: another song, and this time was a woman. She started crying.

664
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 4: And so what it turned out to me was like

665
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 4: this ritualized kind of like situation where they were essentially

666
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 4: competing over passion for a company.

667
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: They wanted to prove that they wanted the employee that

668
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: loved the guy.

669
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 4: And I don't know if it's been like this forever

670
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 4: or if like one year somebody just like took the

671
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 4: took the you know, like took the way the wheels

672
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 4: the rains off and just went buck wild. And now

673
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 4: everybody is forced to scream and cry, but you know,

674
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 4: and you're it was like and then we realized that

675
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 4: the skirt steak was the most popular and the translator

676
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 4: had no interest in mimicking the emotion.

677
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: But there is nothing better than the cool, calm, collected

678
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 2: nature of a translator. Like while like you'll see like

679
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: the like sign language translator laters at a concert or whatever,

680
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: and they're just like, I'm here to do my job,

681
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: deliver the information with no bias.

682
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: That's right. I'm not an actor.

683
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 4: I'm here to just tell you what this Israeli Palestine conversation.

684
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: I love. It's truly the best thing in the world.

685
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 2: And these people are the most professional.

686
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and and and they should probably be paid more,

687
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 4: I'm assuming, and be more famous. So yeah, that was

688
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 4: my That was my most I mean, you should never

689
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 4: go back.

690
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: Nothing's going to.

691
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 3: Talk, nothing's going to top that. That was the best.

692
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: Also, I love do you like going on a business

693
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 2: trip when it's just you're not paying for any element

694
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 2: of it? It feels incredible be like a crappy.

695
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: Marriotte room that you didn't pay for us.

696
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: You get to be there guilt free. You just don't

697
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: have to worry about a thing.

698
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, a beer in the Phoenix airport for some reason,

699
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 4: watching like a college basketball game that you don't care about,

700
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 4: next to some like engineering conference attendee.

701
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 3: What's better?

702
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 2: That is what we all live for. That's what we

703
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: live for. So you went to this conference. Did you

704
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: do anything else while there?

705
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 4: Not on that trip, But I did go with my

706
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 4: mom once and we did some of that like natural

707
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 4: hot spring stuff, which is.

708
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 2: Also I've never done one of those. It's great. It's

709
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: sort of like eating an egg.

710
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 4: You have to turn off the fact that there's like

711
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 4: Geisha Doll level, you know, servants walking around making your

712
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 4: night like very pleasant. And yes, I guess we kind

713
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 4: of do that here too, in terms of like bus

714
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 4: boys and you know, people not being paid with the.

715
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 2: Right kind of treating service people badly.

716
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, in Japan, it's they're they're not hiding anything pretty

717
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 4: much in your face. There was you know, there's there's

718
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 4: women at the front door that are basically like you know,

719
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 4: Ripley's like wax figurine level.

720
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 2: Still you walk right by them, and that's fascinating. Okay,

721
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 2: so I have this what what was the decision making

722
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: logic behind this toilet paper?

723
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 3: Little race based I assumed.

724
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 4: I assumed you hadn't gotten like a lot of like

725
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 4: international gifts.

726
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 3: And my wife and I go to do you go

727
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 3: to Sawtel Ever?

728
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 2: I love pretty far. I love there's so much good

729
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 2: Japanese food down there that I'm always tempted to go.

730
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 2: But then I think, oh, that's an hour away, easily. Yeah,

731
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: but when you get there and you're having ramin or

732
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 2: what have you, and it's like there's just outside of well,

733
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: I guess you can go to Torrance is also apparently

734
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 2: good for Japanese food, well done.

735
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: A lot of people don't talk about Torrance.

736
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 2: I see. Torrance is another thing that's constantly tempting me. Yes,

737
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 2: because there's good food there, great food, but again an

738
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 2: hour away. And also God bless Torrents, but not not.

739
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: We're not there for sits Oh really large.

740
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 3: So you're not go.

741
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: There to see like the Toyota factory or whatever, or

742
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: Taco bell head.

743
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 4: I think it's on the cover of the photers La

744
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:16,959
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three edition.

745
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 2: It's kind of the new hot spot for travelers. Yeah.

746
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 4: No, it is sort of a culinary secret spot, right sure, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Koreans.

747
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 4: There's a great Peruvian Japanese place in Torrents. Oh, I

748
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 4: will plug here.

749
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 2: I will say I've just learned of Peruvian Chinese because

750
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: there's a place an Eagle Rock called Chifa Fifa, which

751
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 2: I haven't been to yet, but people rave about.

752
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean Chifa just means is just the word

753
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 3: for Chinese food and pat.

754
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: Oh that's right.

755
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 3: My wife is half Peruvian. Oh, we had a lot

756
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 3: of Japanese.

757
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 2: So you were familiar with Peruvian Asian fusion before.

758
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 4: That's why we sought it out this place. But Torrents

759
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 4: in general is like fantastic satl But you guys have

760
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 4: downtown here and now the town is okay, But I

761
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 4: don't think it's as good as hotel. Is kind of

762
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 4: the place to be if you want really great food.

763
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I digress.

764
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 4: So the the the reason why is because there's a

765
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 4: place called Diso, which is.

766
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 3: Kind of like an I love Diso.

767
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 4: So they so all kind of like, I don't know,

768
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 4: it's really cheap, kind of very functional.

769
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 3: I want to open the next one.

770
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 2: Okay, let me get into here, let me get into this. Oh,

771
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 2: I put the tissue back in the bag, so we'll

772
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 2: have to have reopening up the tissue.

773
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 3: Now it sounds like too much, too and.

774
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: Now the podcast is over. Listeners turned away. Okay, so

775
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 2: this is when I opened the toilet paper. I knew

776
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 2: what was going on, but now I've opened a product

777
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 2: that is absolutely horrifying. This is I'll try to describe

778
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: what we're looking at here. It's it. The only English

779
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: on it is fore men and before after. And then

780
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: there's a man with two things shoved up his nostrils.

781
00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 2: He's screaming, his eyes are wide. And then there's there's

782
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: a I'm going to I'm going to guess at what

783
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: this is. Is this a nosehair removal? It is because

784
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: there's a little like basically like a plastic Q tip

785
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,720
Speaker 2: or like a what do you stick in the golf

786
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: swab or a golf Yeah, it looks like a golf tea.

787
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 2: That's right, you stick up your nose and then it

788
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: apparently does that have glue on the end.

789
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 4: It does have some type of these.

790
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 2: This is this is another assassin attempt.

791
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 4: No, and I think it's one of these things. It's

792
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 4: interesting because it's very Japanese. Obviously the gentleman on the

793
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 4: cover is not Japanese. It looks maybe Italian.

794
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 2: It says made in Turkey on the box, it looks yeah,

795
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 2: it's probably Turkey.

796
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

797
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 4: I wonder how many people auditioned for that.

798
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 2: I drove to Santa Monica. Yeah, got in front of

799
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 2: a casting direction.

800
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're on hold, babe. I think I'm going to

801
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 3: get this one.

802
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 2: I finally got pinned for the nose hair.

803
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 4: The guy asked me to do it again, so yeah,

804
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 4: and then I think you hold it in there.

805
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: This is my guess.

806
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 4: They don't read Japanese, so I think you hold it

807
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 4: in there for a number of seconds and then you

808
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 4: rip it out and then voila.

809
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah.

810
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 4: I wonder if Japanese men, I mean, because it's only

811
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 4: for men, as it says.

812
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 2: Let's be Japan is ignoring a whole segment of the

813
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 2: population that also has nose hair. Women, I'm speaking to you.

814
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 2: You can have nose hair too. Yes, it's twenty twenty

815
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 2: two and women have nose that's right. Just don't use

816
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 2: this product, because this is pH balance directly for boys.

817
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 3: That's right, But I wonder how much those here maybe

818
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 3: they have.

819
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 4: Maybe it's a white nationwide nightmare they're that they're confronting

820
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 4: with this product.

821
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 3: But I do I also think you can use it for.

822
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 4: Ears, oh and for other things like fingers and things

823
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 4: like that.

824
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: And I'm looking at the back. It looks like it

825
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 2: comes with a little pot of wax.

826
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 4: It does come in a little pot of wax. And alarmingly,

827
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 4: all of the writing is in red, so it just this.

828
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: Could all be a warning.

829
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 4: It's a huge six paragraph warning in Japanese that neither

830
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 4: of us can read.

831
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 3: But I'm sure it's fine. What could go wrong?

832
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 2: I also say it looks I mean, again largely Japanese,

833
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: but it does say five hundred and six hundred W,

834
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: which I would assume is five hundred watty. I kind

835
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: of if this is an electric product.

836
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 4: Let's go ahead and assume that's an electrical unit of measurements.

837
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 4: We know so little and can read so little.

838
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 2: I mean, this will be a real learning of the

839
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: garbage truck is coming through the listener. I don't know

840
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: if you're hearing that, but that's exciting. For you. My

841
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 2: garbage is about to be taken away from me.

842
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 4: For those two to four year old listeners, this is

843
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 4: going to be really here.

844
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: The dump truck, Get out your toys.

845
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 4: The only part of the podcast you care about.

846
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, this could be a real trial experience for me

847
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 2: where I'm learning and injuring myself.

848
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 3: Do you do you have nose here?

849
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 2: I do have nose? Do you?

850
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 3: And I hate it?

851
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 2: I nose here?

852
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: Is?

853
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 2: I guess it's necessary somehow biologically I'm sure.

854
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's really nice.

855
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 2: It's doing something maybe keeping dust from getting up your nose.

856
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 4: I'm sure there's a Netflix document. Oh yeah, I'm sure

857
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 4: there are fourteen. But the nosehair murderer that you never

858
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 4: somehow knew about.

859
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 2: Um, nose hair is an interesting thing from me. I

860
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 2: learned a few years ago. And this is was not

861
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: from any official source. Okay, the garbage truck. Let's just

862
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 2: let them take the garbage. On a least, should we

863
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 2: let them take the garbage before we continue here?

864
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: They might be auditioning for a garbage truck show.

865
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, right over their own podcast, the garbage truck podcast.

866
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 4: We looked at with your neighbor though, I mean do

867
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 4: you know what they're building, No idea. It's a great mystery.

868
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 4: It's in a back room, so it could be any

869
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 4: any sort of dark definitely permitted. Yeah, we can assume

870
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 4: they went through all of the paperwork.

871
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 3: They paid the thirty grand.

872
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: They're probably going to be running an illegal salon out

873
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 2: of there. That ooop garbage And we can keep this audio.

874
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 2: I'm happy to keep all of this. We're just chatting

875
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 2: about the garbage truck for a minute. The world is moving.

876
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: This is the thrill of being outdoors when garbage is

877
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 2: present and needs to be taken to another place to

878
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 2: just sit for a thousand years.

879
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 3: I don't even like to think about it.

880
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 4: I don't even I just throw it out on my

881
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 4: front window and just assume somebody takes it to a

882
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 4: sustainable plate.

883
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 2: Take care of this for me. Yeah. Nose hair. Someone

884
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: told me a few years ago you should not pluck

885
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: nose hair because apparently, apparently your nose can become infected.

886
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 2: Oh no, apparently the like nose. Whatever's happening there is

887
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 2: very sensitive, and.

888
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 3: So what are you supposed to shave it?

889
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: Well, so this is what happened. I when I got

890
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 2: my first writing job, when I first like got like

891
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: my first paycheck, I'll tell you then, this will really

892
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 2: tell people something about me. I thought, I'm going to

893
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 2: spoil myself. I'm gonna buy a nose hair trimmer. They

894
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: cost fifteen dollars. So that was my big treat. Like

895
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 2: I was finally like a professional working.

896
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 4: Right you associated groom being well groomed with your like

897
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 4: Enough with this goodbye old Bridger. I went down to

898
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 4: best Buy spent fourteen ninety nine. I was like, I'm

899
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 4: really spoiling myself. And it has I've been. It hasn't

900
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 4: changed much since then. That's how I lived my life.

901
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: But I yet use the nose hair trimmer apparently, and

902
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 2: they work very They're very effective, they're very affordable. I

903
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 2: feel like Big Big Trimmer released this information.

904
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 4: Introduced me to that friend that gave me that information.

905
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 4: You know, plucking can kill you. Clearly, some high level

906
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 4: VP at it at best Buy.

907
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: It was like, I know it will do. They were

908
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 2: releasing posters that say the faces of plucking, and just

909
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 2: this could be you and the time it took you

910
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 2: to look at this poster. Fourteen people have died from

911
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 2: plucking their nose hair. By this trimmer. I mean, I

912
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: am of the thought of like, if I can think

913
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 2: of it, it probably has happened. So I bet somebody

914
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 2: has diet of nose hair plucking.

915
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, or we'll make sure it happened. Yeah, before this

916
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 3: was released.

917
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 2: You will' given me this product with this screaming man

918
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 2: on it. So you were at Diso just kind of

919
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 2: when browsing. We have young kids and it's easy to

920
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: go to Sawtel to just pick up noodles or pick

921
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 2: up and so we're in that Diso way too often, right,

922
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 2: And you also wonder like who's buying like this, you know,

923
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: huge like mango, like a stuffed mango with a funny

924
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 2: face on it feels so soft, feel so.

925
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 4: Soft, forty nine ninety nine or whatever. But somebody's buying it,

926
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 4: I think. But they're doing business. People are kind of perusing,

927
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 4: and I just thought, there's no way he's gotten good,

928
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 4: good Diso stuff. And that seemed also possibly like you

929
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 4: might use it.

930
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I don't know. I don't know what I

931
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 2: should do with that information. I know, I mean, rather

932
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 2: than rather than a kew change, right, it's a useful thing, right,

933
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 2: put or something feels like a good place to take kids.

934
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 4: Diso is a good place except unless you want to

935
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 4: have a screaming child who needs every you know, a

936
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 4: break dancing raccoon or something.

937
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: I will say you you kind of compared Die with

938
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 2: the ninety nine cent store, and I will say, there's

939
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: a vast difference. No, you're right, that was unfair. When

940
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: I'm a Diso, I'm like, almost all this feels remote.

941
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 2: I'm kind of well made or practical.

942
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, except you wonder there's a lot of face masks

943
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 4: that don't seem like FDA approved, right, And then like

944
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 4: zip poppers that I have used actually that are pretty

945
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 4: well well made, but I think they break after the

946
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 4: sixth use.

947
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 2: But you don't want to zip popper after six uses. Anyway,

948
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 2: I like to.

949
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 4: Hold on to just a things and just remember, just

950
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 4: go like, oh, yeah, this was the day Obama got elected.

951
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 3: I use this top so.

952
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 2: Many it was a stressful time leading in that moment.

953
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: We're all but yeah, Diso, I'll go in there, and

954
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 2: I with the ninety nine cent store, I'm I can

955
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 2: go in and be like, I'm not gonna buy anything

956
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 2: in here. I'll just look at the insane things that

957
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 2: are happening and then there'll be like a Christmas tree

958
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 2: flavored Snickers or something. And but when I go into diso,

959
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 2: I will walk away having spent money. I mean, they're

960
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 2: all there are things in there that I'm like, oh, yeah,

961
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 2: if you were like, we're a savvy shopper, you could

962
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 2: probably go in here and really make a killing. Sure,

963
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: But then there are items that are like, shouldn't be

964
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 2: buying this at a ninety nine cents? Right?

965
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 3: That too?

966
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 4: That too, but I shouldn't. I shouldn't be unfair many people,

967
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure do there.

968
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: Oh it's they've got all kind. They do have a

969
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 2: rainbow of things, and a lot of it is good,

970
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: like usable stuff.

971
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 4: And good branding, right, I mean, because not everything in

972
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 4: there's ninety nine cents anymore. I'm sure once we've done

973
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 4: that is true. But now you're really thinking yeah, but

974
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 4: also suitable for calling themselves right.

975
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: I've hired a number of lawyers and none of the

976
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 2: suits have stuck.

977
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 4: Right, there's a disclaimer in the front window that is bulletproof.

978
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 2: I bet there is. Yeah, I feel like nine most

979
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: of the ninety nine cent stores are now either it's

980
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 2: ninety nine cents or five ninety nine Those are like

981
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 2: the two prices in those stores, right, and that's the

982
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 2: CEO of ninety nine cent stores like worth a trillion dollars.

983
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: I really think they are. I think that the company

984
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 2: probably is problem attic on some level where they're like

985
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 2: gouging people where they shouldn't regougey.

986
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 3: Let's take them down.

987
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 2: I'm happy well again. The lawsuits, the lawsuits. It's sort

988
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: of a superhero of sorts.

989
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 4: You're sort of out there doing something that other people

990
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 4: are too afraid to do.

991
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: Thank you for saying thank you. I've poured so much

992
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: of my own money into this. I am hanging by

993
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 2: a thread financially, and meanwhile ninety nine cent continues to

994
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 2: expand and raise their prices.

995
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 3: It's sort of a Hamilton Burr situation.

996
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 4: Yes, you, you and the ninety nine cents sory you

997
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 4: can't figure out why they're thriving.

998
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 2: Lynn Manuel is going to write a rap musical about

999
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 2: me and ninety nine cent only. I do feel like

1000
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: there are a lot of stories around LA that are

1001
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 2: like the names of the stores will be so chaotic,

1002
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 2: or it'll be like ninety nine cents and possibly more,

1003
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 2: or like they really leave it open, and it's like Yeah,

1004
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 2: I'm just not going to go there because it's right right,

1005
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 2: the prices could be in any direction.

1006
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, only the big ninety nine s and sore is

1007
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 4: Amazon at this point.

1008
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely are just kind of a less than

1009
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 2: ninety nine.

1010
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 4: So we all just sucked from that teeth, don't we

1011
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 4: Just like without even thinking about it too much.

1012
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 2: We're just trapped. Yeah, we're just trapped.

1013
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 4: Just give me a huge box with like three dental

1014
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 4: flosses in front of it, because I because I was.

1015
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 2: Bored and I realized I was out of dental flows.

1016
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 2: So I finally find your hobby buying dental flaws.

1017
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 3: I'm a floss order.

1018
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: Is there anything else that dies? So you've gotten that

1019
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 2: you found useful? No?

1020
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 4: And never, I mean we we have. We have gotten

1021
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 4: like grooming type things like face masks and things like that,

1022
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 4: and they I honestly, it's basically like if somebody wet

1023
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 4: a piece of bounty paper towel and put it on

1024
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 4: my face, you know what I mean. And I'm like,

1025
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 4: you know, and it's like a fun thing to do

1026
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 4: with your partner or whatever, and like you know, and

1027
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 4: my my I was pretty smart, so I don't think.

1028
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 3: She would do it if it was really that useless.

1029
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 4: But to me, it felt like I was about to

1030
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 4: be microwaves, like like you know old Indian foods, like

1031
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 4: they just put wet wet to make.

1032
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 2: Sure it doesn't splash.

1033
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then we did get a baby seal that

1034
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,919
Speaker 4: was not a real baby seal. This is the most

1035
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 4: valuable item you knock on the back door. They are

1036
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 4: selling exotic animals.

1037
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 2: For I'm surprised more people don't own baby seals as pets.

1038
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 2: I feels like we're headed in that direct.

1039
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 3: Maybe this is a business opportunity.

1040
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 2: We could together and I get together start capturing these

1041
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 2: baby seals.

1042
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 4: Baby seals dot com they know we got a stuffed

1043
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 4: plush baby seal like years ago, just to like just

1044
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 4: because it was hilarious and this is what you do

1045
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 4: when you have no kids and you're you're not married

1046
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 4: yet and then so just put it on the bed.

1047
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 3: And then our dog destroyed this thing and it.

1048
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 4: Was just like the dirtiest, nastiest pillow that you could

1049
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 4: you know, because it was the idea of a baby

1050
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 4: seal is that it's like Christine White. Oh, right, like

1051
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 4: four hours later, this thing had like poop and dirt

1052
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 4: and dog sliva and dog treats all over it, and

1053
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 4: I was like, why did we buy that for like

1054
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 4: twenty seven dollars.

1055
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 2: Dog's ability to make a toy look filthy is like,

1056
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 2: where is any of the I thought you were a

1057
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 2: fairly clean animal, and You're bringing substances to this toy

1058
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 2: that I've never seen you consume or on your body.

1059
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 4: But they love it more than filthiery, right, so it's

1060
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 4: hard to throw it out.

1061
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: I'd love to get a nice and smelly and so

1062
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 2: they can throw it around the room.

1063
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 4: It's interesting because they sort of fight that trajectory of

1064
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 4: the bridger who wanted to clean out his nose because

1065
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 4: he was finally a legitimate comedy writer. And then you're like, oh,

1066
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 4: I'll get a dog and be like a domesticated adult,

1067
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 4: and then the dog brings that kind of destruction and

1068
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 4: dirt in your head.

1069
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 2: It's exactly toy Street. Yeah, yeah, well we love diso

1070
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 2: and now I've got this thing that could lead to

1071
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 2: my death. And then some toilet paper, which is like,

1072
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 2: who knows what ply of toilet paper?

1073
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 3: But it was just like right, red writing all over

1074
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 3: the back of that too, and we're.

1075
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 2: Just like, holy shit, just Japanese for please do not

1076
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,479
Speaker 2: use Oh actually I'm not picking up the toilet paper

1077
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 2: again and seeing kind of a humanoid version of the egg,

1078
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 2: oh wow, which I didn't found. How he gets around

1079
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 2: he morphs.

1080
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 4: That looks like the canceled Broadway production of Gouda Tama.

1081
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 2: Like they they tried.

1082
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 4: They did a six week workshop and they just said,

1083
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 4: you know what, this is a bad idea and we

1084
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 4: should all just look at each other and nod yes.

1085
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 2: Listener, you'll see this on Instagram. This is a very

1086
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 2: scary person that's kind of in a yoke full body

1087
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 2: what creative executive over at Sanrio. Someone's kid, Yeah, somebody's kid.

1088
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 2: They're like geting some job we don't care about.

1089
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 4: It is no, I think that is someone's kid. I

1090
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 4: think I think that's a drawing of someone's kid.

1091
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 2: They're shameful child that they kind of keep hidden away.

1092
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 2: They let them out for this one illustration. But yeah,

1093
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 2: we now know how it's good to Tama.

1094
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 3: I think it's good Toma. Okay.

1095
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 2: And got to commit that to memory because every time

1096
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 2: I see the egg, I'm like, there's the egg thing?

1097
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 4: Yes, And I think, what if we found out that

1098
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 4: this toilet paper was made from.

1099
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 2: Egg Oh, now that would be mortifying. But eggs are

1100
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 2: they have a thousand uses. Yeah, you know they have

1101
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 2: people put eggs in their hair. Why not. That's right.

1102
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 2: It could easily become a toilet It could be sort.

1103
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 4: Of and if anybody would figure out it, you know,

1104
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 4: has figured out sort of toilet help Japan.

1105
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 2: Japanese toilet culture, they are the leaders.

1106
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 3: They're way out ahead, they're laughing.

1107
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: They are, I mean truly in another dimension compared to

1108
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 2: the rest of the world.

1109
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's probably why they age so well.

1110
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 2: Right, they're leading the innovation and toilets. Yeah, and just

1111
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,439
Speaker 2: feeling good and you know, clean clean. Yeah.

1112
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 4: The rest of us are just like putting construction paper

1113
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 4: up there for three seconds to.

1114
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 2: Wipe away, then throwing it down the castle wall. Ye,

1115
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: that kind of thing the most.

1116
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Japanese are like, no, we have a team

1117
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 4: of expertsure are going to come in and clean this

1118
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 4: out like an Airbnb after the family leaves.

1119
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's something that all cultures, I feel like,

1120
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,760
Speaker 2: could get into at this point, more advanced toilet technology.

1121
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 2: But I think it's time.

1122
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 3: For a game.

1123
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna play a game called Gift Master. I

1124
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 2: need a number between one and ten from you. Six. Okay,

1125
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 2: I have to do a bit of light calculating. You

1126
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 2: can recommend, promote, truly, do whatever you want with the

1127
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 2: mic for a minute.

1128
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 4: Okay, promote would I would recommend something that I just

1129
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 4: saw that I have no connection to, and I find

1130
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 4: hilarious that I'm promoting or recommending. But this movie, the

1131
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 4: Last Duel that Ben Afflett, that mister Jennifer Lopez's husband

1132
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 4: wrote with Nicole Hollis Center and his buddy Matt, who

1133
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 4: I think some people also know.

1134
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 3: But it was like a shock. A couple people told me.

1135
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 4: Actually, our friend Ike from After Party told me to

1136
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 4: watch it, and it was like surprise, have either of

1137
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 4: you seen this movie. It's surprisingly not only fantastic, but

1138
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 4: like important. It's like a really interesting, fabulous period piece.

1139
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,240
Speaker 4: It's a me too movie set in the dark ages.

1140
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 4: It's like it's crazy, it's really well done. It's sort

1141
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 4: of a Rashamon structure and atom Driver is in it.

1142
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 4: I know by the look on your face that you

1143
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 4: don't believe me, and you're waiting for the bit to drop.

1144
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 2: But no, I'm I'm What happened was I thought, usually

1145
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 2: I have this Google doc that I have to go

1146
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 2: through to do my calculations for the game, and I thought,

1147
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 2: today I'm going to because I thought I would try

1148
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 2: a new method of doing it, and it became extremely difficult.

1149
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 2: I thought it would make things easier, and I was like,

1150
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 2: I have gotten out of control.

1151
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 3: I saw your computer smoking and I was like, what's

1152
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 3: he doing with that?

1153
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 2: But then meanwhile I was also processing that apparently this

1154
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 2: is a good movie.

1155
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 3: This is a very very good, interesting movie.

1156
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 4: And it was I think Killed by the Pandemic and

1157
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 4: that subject matters very dark.

1158
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 2: And the haircuts I think made people think this seems

1159
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 2: but they're bold hair choices. All. Yeah, it was.

1160
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 4: I think they it was like an SNL sketch that

1161
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 4: turned into a two and a half hour pick.

1162
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 2: But it entertained you. It's it's not yeah, it's it

1163
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 2: entertained me, but it was.

1164
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 4: There was a moment. There's a moment, like thirty percent

1165
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 4: way through the movie that you're like, oh, this is

1166
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 4: very interesting what they're doing for reasons.

1167
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, then I have to see it. And it's

1168
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:25,240
Speaker 2: Ridley Scott.

1169
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 4: It's Ridley Scott and it's the same year that he

1170
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 4: also did the Gucci movie that also right, did not

1171
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 4: you know hit quite But this movie I just have

1172
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 4: to say, in terms of subject matter and uh sort

1173
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 4: of rip from the headlines, I thought it was cool.

1174
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 2: Oh I'm very excited about this. I need it. I've

1175
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,879
Speaker 2: been desperate for movie recommendation like a light.

1176
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 3: Let's just flip this thing on before we get to

1177
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 3: that movie. Just so you know.

1178
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 4: It's not a rom column. It's meat Matt. He's a

1179
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 4: knight during the Crusades. But one thing he wants to

1180
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 4: find someone.

1181
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 2: Okay, this is that's an excellent recommendation. But now we

1182
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 2: have to play the game. This is how we play

1183
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 2: gift Master. I'm gonna name three things, three potential gifts

1184
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 2: you can give away, and then I'm gonna name three celebrities.

1185
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 2: You're gonna tell me which celebrity, Uh you'll give which gift?

1186
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 2: And why does that make sense? I have three gifts

1187
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 2: and three celebrities, and I have to get dole them out.

1188
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 2: Only why this sort of thing? Easy enough?

1189
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 3: Okay, I did this in real life all the time.

1190
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 2: Of course, Well you're you're running in your celebrity circles

1191
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have all these gifts to give kind

Speaker 2: are the gifts. Number one is a floor length skirt.

1195
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 2: Uh maybe of any fabric you want. That's up to you.

1196
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 3: Number only the citing factor is its length. Everything else

00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:48,080

1206
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:17,959

00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 4: but fresh and washed and floor length.

1208
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 2: Mice chasing after it, trying to.

1209
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 4: Get a little nibble maybe, I mean, depending on where

1210
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:26,720
Speaker 4: you're wearing it.

1211
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 2: Right through a field or what have you. Okay, corn

1212
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:34,279

1213
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:38,000

1214
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 2: you can throw in your bag and then you're you know,

1215
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 2: out and you don't need to use the plastics. Not

1216
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 2: corn it could be corn corn, let's be honest, could

1217
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,880

1218
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 2: then snaxts one of whether or not. The third item

1219

1221
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 2: objects or other animals, probably them to, but I think

1222
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 2: they're almost like a hand or an arm where they

1223
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 2: have some level of control.

1224
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,440

Speaker 2: Number two is Andre three thousand Love Yes. And number three,

1232
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,800

1233
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 2: David Shwimmer.

1234
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,400

1236
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 2: David Swimmer in anything, I don't have like a strong

1237
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 2: opinion of him in any direction artistically or anything like that.

1238
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 3: Personally. I don't know him. I just think he did

1239
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 3: quite well.

1240
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 2: That's such a good blanket statement for so many people.

1241
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 2: He did quite well. I didn't just walk away.

1242
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,920

00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 3: No like intense weightlifting?

1247
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and incredibly in shape and yeah, very very

1248
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 2: chiseled and handsome and put together.

1249
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 4: The clothes were impeccable. This is not the David Swimmer

1250
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 4: I think of. But you're wrong, because he did quite well,

1251
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 4: not really financially, but in that hotel, in that hotel, Jim,

1252
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 4: he not. He not only did quite well. I was thinking, well,

1253
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 4: he's doing quite well.

1254
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 2: So he every tense, every tense of the verb. Yes,

1255
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 2: he's got it. Yeah, he will do quite well.

1256
00:58:56,160 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 4: But also so yeah, that's my take on David's for

1257
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 4: the world that I've been waiting to drop.

1258
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 2: Reveal.

1259
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kelvin breaks his silence finally.

1260
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 4: Okay, So Swimmer McGrath andy three thousand, I mean all, yeah.

1261
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 2: Well, Mark McGrath harder to say. Well, We'll just say,

1262
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 2: for nicest purposes, they all did quite well.

1263
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 3: They all did quite well. No, you can't.

1264
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, we're talking about him here in twenty

1265
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 4: twenty two. There's no question he did quite well. Corn

1266
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 4: skirt to the floor. What's the word you use?

1267
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 2: Tail or length? No, no for tail, oh, prehensile, prehensile

1268
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 2: tail and then reusable straw, usable straw. See the intuition

1269
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 2: intuitive choices to give that skirt to Andre three thousand, Right,

1270
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 2: you just feel like he's I mean, we should almost

1271
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 2: google corn floor length skirt, may.

1272
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 4: Have already done this. So for that reason, I'm not

1273
00:59:58,760 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 4: going to give something that the.

1274
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, he probably Wow, you want to give a

1275
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 2: repeat gift? No, he's gonna go Now I have three

1276
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 2: What am I supposed to do with this?

1277
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 3: Right?

1278
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 2: So he probably gets that straw?

1279
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 4: Okay, sure, because he seems like a reasonable guy and

1280
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 4: he's probably in the phase of his life where he's

1281
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 4: starting to think about sustainability and you know, giving back.

1282
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 2: This makes perfect sense to me. He feels, despite being

1283
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 2: flashy and fun, has always seemed also practical. Yes, I

1284
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 2: I one of my celebrity crushes. Andre three thousand, completely justified.

1285
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 4: Yes, so cool, He's almost like, I mean, this is

1286
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 4: an overstatement, but it's like a Bowie type character where

1287
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,439
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, this guy is laps ahead of culture. Yes,

1288
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 4: and we'll understand him in like thirty years. Right has

1289
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 4: never made like a glaringly bad move. No, and his music,

1290
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 4: if you play it now, sounds modern, whereas a lot

1291
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 4: of the music of that time sounds very old.

1292
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 2: Yes, it feels Oh, I'm listening to something from nineteen

Speaker 2: week's episode canceled. Okay, soing Andre the reusable strug. He

Speaker 2: seems like he would appreciate it perfect. Yeah.

1304
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 4: He seems like he'd look you dead in the eye

1305
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 4: and say thanks. And he also seems like someone who

1306
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 4: loves a cool drink. He does seem like he loves

1307
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 4: a cool drink, and like you said, practical when you

1308
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 4: look at him, he looks like he's going from this

1309
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 4: event to something else. He's gonna go, right, He's never

1310
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 4: at rest. No, he's like a nephew's you know, birthday party.

1311
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 4: And then later on tonight he's meeting friends in a movie.

1312
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 2: That's a perfectly given gift, okay and thoughtful not giving

1313
01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 2: him the skirt.

1314
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not going to need that. And then the

1315
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 3: the prehensile tail, which I will use again today just

1316
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 3: to lock it in.

1317
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 2: God knows if I'm pronouncing that correctly. To be honest,

1318
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 2: I'm no tail experts. Let's just put it out there, Okay,

1319
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 2: it's good to.

1320
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 3: Say that that.

1321
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 2: My my options are McGrath and uh Simmer Swimmer.

1322
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 4: I think uh, I think I'm gonna give that tail

1323
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 4: to Shwimmer.

1324
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, Yeah, and why because he did so well

1325
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 2: and I feel like he like, what do you give

1326
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 2: the guy who has everything given the thing that he

1327
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,919
Speaker 2: can't he can't purchase and you can't you can't not yet,

1328
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 2: not yet. Yeah, I mean I think some companies are

1329
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 2: working on it, some tech pros. Yeah, there's somebody in

1330
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 2: the Bay Area right now, not yet as we stand

1331
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 2: here today, not yet. And so he's gonna go I

1332
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 2: have everything. But and now I have every and now

1333
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 2: I'm swinging around the house. I'm getting things on the

1334
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 2: top shelf with my tail. Right, he's so in shape,

1335
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 2: and he's so he's so, he's so sort of physically powerful.

1336
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 3: Problem, if I.

1337
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 2: Refuse to believe that David Trummer.

1338
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 4: Is financially powerful, the tail is just gonna push him

1339
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 4: to that next level.

1340
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 2: Well, it gives him another thing to work out at

1341
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 2: the gym. Yeah, that's the thing is No, none of

1342
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 2: us thought there was another level for swimmer, and and

1343
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 2: yet this is going to get him there. And then

1344
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 2: so that leaves us with for some ready, I have

1345
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 2: the memory of like a grandfather looking for his glasses

1346
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:43,479
Speaker 2: right now, well, looking for the floor length skirmet of corn,

1347
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 2: the corn McGrath. Yeah, And I think McGrath is one

1348
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 2: of those guys in my mind who's very entrenched in

1349
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 2: a certain era. Yeah.

1350
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's true because I haven't seen

1351
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 4: him recently, but to me, he represents that that era.

1352
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 4: So I think a floor length corn skirt is gonna

1353
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 4: help him like open some opportunities, right, rebrand slightly brand yeah,

1354
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 4: and like like you know that is very sustainable. So

1355
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 4: that's really you know, corn.

1356
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 2: It's that, I mean, all joking aside is probably almost

1357
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 2: a thing.

1358
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 3: It's probably the almost the thing.

1359
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 4: It seems were intensive, So maybe sort of class based

1360
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 4: because you probably need a good amount.

1361
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 2: Do you think about the syrup for making out of corn?

1362
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely corn syrup? Corn? Like you said, I think, don't

1363
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 3: we make utensils out of corn?

1364
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? We make so many things I feel like are

1365
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 2: made out of corn at this point, so why not

1366
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 2: corn shirts? Maybe they dissolve in the rain? Corn the problem?

1367
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 2: They could call them corn shyrups. See corn industry. The

1368
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 2: corn syrup may be on its way out, but corn syrups.

1369
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. And here's the other thing.

1370
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 4: Is McGrath, Unfortunately, in my and this might not be

1371
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 4: true for everybody else, is known for one song.

1372
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 2: Yes and so, or maybe two I think the second songs.

01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 2: There's the uh uh I just want to fly, I

1374
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 2: just want to fly. That was the first one, and

1375
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:12,600

1387
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 2: giving the skirt to Andre three thousand, which was it

1388
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 2: was such a gimmey. It seemed like such an obvious choice,

1389
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 2: and you made the thoughtful decision to think.

1390
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 3: I don't know who you think you invited here today.

1391
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 2: Well, I thought I was inviting someone who would not

1392
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 2: show up with a gift, and so obviously there have

1393
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 2: been a surprise after surprise after surprise.

1394
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 3: I understand.

01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 2: spiraling out of control, and so we step in and

1400
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 2: try to hit the brakes a little bit, try to

1401
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 2: bring them back from the brink. Will you answer a

1402
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 2: question with me?

1403
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 3: Sure?

1404
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 2: Okay? This says Hello Bridger and dumbfounding guests, so that

1405
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 2: adjective seems appropriate. Yeah, I'll take that on today. Sure,

1406
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 2: I do apologize own it. My sister and I used

1407
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 2: to be very close dot dot dot. For the past

1408
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 2: two years, our relationship has become rocky as we navigate

1409
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 2: growing into different age ranges and dynamics with each other.

1410
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 2: Her thirty two, me twenty six. But are those both well?

1411
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 2: I think what I feel like one is a young millennial

1412
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 2: and one is a old zoomer old gen z. Her

1413
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 2: wedding is in October. I adore her new partner and

1414
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 2: want for us to have a healthy relationship. What's a

1415
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 2: gift that says I care about you a lot, even

1416
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 2: though you're too high strung and bothering most of the time.

1417
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 2: But I hope you have a really good life, I guess, Sincerely, Travis.

1418
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 3: So Travis, he's.

1419
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 2: Not apparently does not like his sister, but is no

1420
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 2: balling head over heels with the sisters. Yeah, and also

1421
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 2: I think Travis might be hung up on age more

1422
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 2: than the sisters. Sense.

1423
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 4: I bet the sister doesn't think about this at all. Well,

1424
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 4: I'm twenty six now, so clearly the gulf between us

1425
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 4: is it's unbridgible.

1426
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:38,959
Speaker 2: There's no way we will ever be able to speak

1427
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:42,479
Speaker 2: the same that thirty two really you think you're gonna

1428
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 2: get my experience? You dinosaur, You're almost dead. I'm looking

1429
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 2: into homes for you, how am I? So?

1430
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 4: Maybe a subscription to the AARP or some type of

1431
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 4: pacemaker that you can use in the next six months.

1432
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, let's I'm let's be honest. Older sister

1433
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 2: is geriatric.

1434
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1435
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 4: Do you even need to go to this wedding? Is

1436
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 4: she gonna make it to this? That's the real question here.

1437
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 2: Why you need to be buying a gift that could

1438
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 2: double Is something for yourself, Travis, like.

1439
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,639
Speaker 4: A grieving gift for the party. Oh my god, Travis.

1440
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I think Travis, you I will say, I

1441
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 4: think thirty two is a pivotal age ish and I

1442
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 4: think you should recognize you're not wrong, Travis.

1443
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:34,759
Speaker 3: We joke, but you're not wrong.

1444
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 4: Twenty six you're still living in some kind of French

1445
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:40,679
Speaker 4: indie film.

1446
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 2: You're smoking, you're smoking skateboarding.

1447
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, the music is very uh twee, and you're two

1448
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 4: inches off the ground. You take buses because of good book. Yeah,

1449
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 4: you read good books, right, you read whole good books.

1450
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 4: Finish the book. Your sister is. You're not wrong thinking

1451
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 4: about rugs blenders, sun spots.

1452
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 2: Right, Will I ever be able to pay the mortgage? Yes,

1453
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 2: get a mortgage.

1454
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 4: Get a mortgage. Knee replacement surgery. Kids, There is a

1455
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 4: slight you will see, and I hate to be condescending,

1456
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 4: but you will see there are bigger shifts as you

1457
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 4: get older. But I agree with you your from your

1458
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 4: vantage point twenty six thirty two.

1459
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 3: Those are different places.

1460
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 4: So I would get her something very domestic, unapologetically, because

1461
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 4: it is you do think about those things.

1462
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 2: Right, practical, practical home goods.

1463
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 3: Yes.

1464
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 4: I when we bought our house, I want it was

1465
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 4: like important to me to like live kind of near

1466
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 4: a like abbot Kinney or somewhere you know, like that

1467
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 4: we could. I don't give a shit anymore. I don't

1468
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 4: want to live, you know, in hours away from you know,

1469
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 4: in in Barstow. But but I but I don't care

1470
01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 4: anymore about that. And it was only like two years

1471
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 4: later that I realized that I did not need to

1472
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 4: be able to like stumble out of it. And actually

1473
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 4: it's a liability and there's all kinds of dangers like

1474
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 4: people riding their bikes down their house on the way

1475
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 4: to the bar.

1476
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 2: Very dangerous, yes, very dangerous.

1477
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 4: I now am shut in and I scream at people

1478
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 4: if they come anywhere near our mailbox. You want to

1479
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 4: be cozy at home, yeah, you, But but there is

1480
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 4: a shift. So I would think domestic. I would think

1481
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 4: a way to make her home life a little more convenient,

1482
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 4: a little more like and I kid you, not like

1483
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 4: a My my most used, most loved wedding gift was

1484
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 4: a good espresso machine.

1485
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 2: Oh that's an excellent one, because everyone kind of has

1486
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,759
Speaker 2: a coffee machine that does the job.

1487
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,640
Speaker 4: That said, it's like two thousand dollars to get a

1488
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 4: good one, the really nice ones. But you can get

1489
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 4: like an espresso one for a couple hundred bucks. Oh okay,

1490
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,680
Speaker 4: And then she's not having to go to write the

1491
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 4: six dollar latte, right, you know, four days week.

1492
01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,560
Speaker 2: And then and then she every time she makes a

1493
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 2: cup of oh, she's thinking about you and how you're

1494
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 2: drifting apart.

1495
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 4: Yes, so even though you haven't talked to her in

1496
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 4: sixty eight years, she's forced to consider your existence every morning.

1497
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 2: You haunt her. Yeah, her first thought every morning is, oh,

1498
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 2: my brother, I need not not before my coffee, not

1499
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 2: before I've regretted what I did to my relationship with

1500
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 2: my brother. I want that on a mug, right, and

1501
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 2: then so that's six years. So when he's thirty two,

1502
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,640
Speaker 2: she'll be thirty eight. Boyl boy, oh boy, here we

1503
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 2: go again, Travis. You she's headed towards forty and you're

1504
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 2: thinking about, yeah, maybe moving into a house. At that point,

1505
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 2: she'll just be kind of babbling a nonsensically at the

1506
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 2: ceiling and not sure if you're in the moon. If

1507
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 2: she's lucky, if she's so lucky, right her mind is going.

1508
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 2: I feel like that's great. I mean, obviously, Travis prefers

1509
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 2: the fiance maybe a gift card to a restaurant that

1510
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 2: you know that your sister doesn't like. So you get

1511
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 2: to go with the fiance that's always in to.

1512
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 4: Begin the building block of that relationship. Right, really, jump

1513
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 4: ship right now.

1514
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 2: Right so when the inevitable divorce happens, you'll get to

1515
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 2: be friends with this person and your sister will have

1516
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 2: the well, actually no, because you won't have given her

1517
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 2: the espress. So Travis, you're gonna have to figure this

1518
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 2: math out on your own. You are the one that

1519
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:19,719
Speaker 2: has treated your sister so poorly.

1520
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's time for maybe a mirror a

1521
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 4: picture of yourself looking in the mirror. Yeah, she knows

1522
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 4: what you've thought about, what you've done.

1523
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Travis, it's time to You're still young. You can

1524
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 2: make the choices that we'll get you back on the

1525
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 2: right path and back into the glowing realm of your sister.

01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 4: your wrongs.

1533
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 2: which is a lot. It's so much. It takes so

1534
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 2: much time, and it's almost too much. Travis, it's too much.

1535
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:05,759
Speaker 2: I haven't even had lunch yet. It's really it's wild

1536
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,719
Speaker 2: the things I will do for a listener.

Speaker 4: I'm glad that worked out. It was it was a

1547
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:37,639
Speaker 4: dicey choice to bring a gift.

1548
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 2: It was a dicey choice, but ultimately we came together.

1549
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 2: I feel like we can leave this podcast and without anger.

1550
