00:00:01 Speaker 1: Attention. 00:00:04 Speaker 2: Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jimmy Smagoula will not be able to perform this evening. However, despite this massive inconvenience, the host was able to act quickly and find a replacement with a voice just as, if not more beautiful and now the theme. 00:00:21 Speaker 3: Song to me. 00:00:35 Speaker 1: When I invited you here, I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest in my home, you have to come to me empty handed. I said, no gifts. Your presence is presence enough. And I already have too much stuff. I have so many things. I just organized my garage and it's overflowing. It's disgusting. My life is falling apart. So how dare you disobey me? 00:01:06 Speaker 4: Oh? 00:01:06 Speaker 1: My god, it's on only smellson. Oh we should well, let's go on over one more time. When I invited you here, I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you are a guess in my home, you have to come to me with nothing. Please bring nothing. It's very clear. I said no gifts. Your presence is presence enough. Oh oh, I said no gifts. I said no gifts. So how dare you? How dare any of you disobey me. 00:01:57 Speaker 5: Oh oh my god, look at this. 00:02:08 Speaker 1: Look at the talent on display. I said, no gifts. An A, Lisa Nelson, James Gerard, God. 00:02:20 Speaker 3: Bless WHOA. 00:02:24 Speaker 1: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Bridger Wineger. How did we get here? How did we get to what we've just experienced? Well? Ten years ago I met a man on Tinder. Fast forward two weeks ago. We've been on a few dates and he gets an audition and he says, should I do this? And I looked at it. I said, the creative team is good, you should audition. A week later, he books the job. The night he's supposed to sing the theme song of the podcast in Chatsworth. The Man's in Chatsworth. It's an adult swim project, so it is a good credit. But unfortunately Jim wasn't able to make it. Here. Could we just see the slide rip? I'm so worried about gen Z. You know this is the We're losing them. But we're here and now I'm just like, I'm so baffled. I did not expect to have to do the theme song. I'm carrying so much weight. How is Los Angeles doing? I think we can take Jim and Reeva off. Well, we'll talk about this. Actually, actually we should get to this. Let's go to the next slide because we've got to get to something so I can take off this robe so I don't start sweating like I usually do. So you know these. Over the course of the last few live shows, I've worn this beautiful thing, this key so light tunic, and I died it and died it and died it, and eventually it was unusable. And I wanted to wear something from the podcast, but unfortunately, the guests usually bring me garbage, and the clothes they bring me or garbage, so I didn't really have a lot of options. And a couple of months ago, Josh Sharp showed up and he brought me these three I think the brand is Vory or something, I don't know, some sort of ath leisure. And so we have these three T shirts and could we see me in one? Look how dumpy I look shapeless. It's too long, it doesn't I mean even the neck is too loose. It looks horrible. So I had to think of something, and I contacted all the people with sewing machines in my life, and I found my friend Danny, and I said, can you can you do something for me? And as someone with a skill, this is always so amazing to me when someone has a skill and they're able to accomplish something. She had me the T shirts over and I guess I should reveal the look the look for this evening. Okay, here we go. Be careful, it's all. You've got to be careful when you're looking at me. Look at this. Let's go back to those T shirts, those horrible T shirts. This is couture, this is fashion. I look like I spent the night at Kevin Smith's or something. It's not an ideal look, but you have to do what you can with what you're given. That's kind of what life is. And now I need to look at my business just to make sure we're covering everything. We're doing the outfit. Okay, now I can just talk about my life. Thank God. Very busy day. I was on Instagram for fourteen hours and went to the grocery store. My brother's in town. He's somewhere here in the audience. We hope he made it. We hope Jesse made it to the show. He got in last night, and so far I've shown him the city by making him watch the third episode of the documentary about Biggest Loser and taking him to the same restaurant twice. So it's been an explosive time for him. And so there's that. Unfortunately I just found out, well I didn't find out. This is a tough time for me because my nephew didn't follow me back on Instagram and he watched my stories, So I know, I know, but whatever, you know what about this? Wouldn't you want to follow on Instagram? So there's that. Somebody wanted somebody I guess it's their birthday. Let's see here. This is not the birthday podcast, but their sister wanted me to wish my happy birthday from your sister. She's in Texas live streaming of this and she sent him here. That was lazy on her part. Okay, I think we got all of our business done. Okay, so now this is I need. Okay, I'm gonna we have two different volunteer opportunities tonight. The first one is actual labor. It's going to require strong people who are going to do something. So if you if you don't feel strong, tell me, well, not physically but mentally and emotionally. So I'm gonna come out and try to find two people that. Oh, and I'm gonna bring my baked cookies. Let's see. Don't look at me, okay, so just let me know if you're not interested in working and uh doing labor. Okay, let's see, you can just have a cookie. Let's see here. Now I'm gonna go to the other so, well, let's see here. Would you want to do any physical well, it's not physical labor. Why do I keep? What's that? Okay? Okay, don't do it. Let's see. No, no, no, no. Would you want to do something? Okay? What's your name? Toria? Okay, head up onto the stage. I'm not respond before you. Ah, here's a cookie, and we need one more person that's gonna be her teammate. Let's see here, we're looking, we're looking. Would you like to. 00:08:15 Speaker 6: Sure? 00:08:16 Speaker 1: What's your name? 00:08:19 Speaker 7: Mike? 00:08:19 Speaker 1: Okay, Mike, get on stage and are you with him? Okay, you can have the cookie. Okay. So a couple of years ago, my friend Chris there was on the podcast and he gave me a thousand piece puzzle of Republican President's playing pool, and I had, as an adult, had never done a large puzzle. So but I he kind of bullied me into it with a hashtag puzzle please, and everyone was harassing me online about doing the puzzle. So I started it and it took me fifteen weeks to complete the puzzle. So I thought, why not tonight. People are always saying, oh, I listened to a podcasts while I do. I thought, what a fun opportunity to do that live. So these two we've got follow me. We have this little table set up back here. Take a seat, and they get cookies and water too. They're not going to I just want to show everyone the puzzle if we can. It's all of the Republican president and presidents except for the worst one. He didn't make it in. But this is what they'll be doing. It's a thousand pieces. I don't I obviously don't know how long it actually takes to make a puzzle because it took me fifteen weeks. This could maybe it takes an hour and a half. I don't know. Uh So this is for you two. Now you two can get to work. I would love for you to finish the puzzle. I'd love for you to get the border. Whatever it takes, I would love for you to get Richard Nixon's face. So you've set to work, and we'll check in with you throughout the show. And you're are you okay? Are you okay with this labor perfect? I said, okay, we'll check back in with them. Okay, good for them. Two strong people, strong as oxes. Okay. So now, okay, now I need three more volunteers. This is an easier one. This doesn't require as much time or effort. So let's and I've given away all the cookies. What a shame. Let's see here, people are looking away. Would you want to no? I love what someone says no, by the way, I would, I would say yes, and I'm a no. You want to Lauren? Lauren? Get up there? Okay, let's see here. Let's see. I'd love to get somebody in the middle where I can't access Sir with the glasses? Would you want to do it? Okay, come on up, okay, and we need one more. I'll go over here after we find out. Sir with the glasses name Vincent. Okay, head up, Vincent. Okay. Now I'm just gonna scurry over here. People, Okay, let's here, moving, moving, moving people. Let's see people when they're looking at me. It's uh, you would you like to her friend is really throwing her under the bus? Sam, Sam, come on, okay, all right, you can all take a seat. Okay. I should have brought a blanket to put over my legs, but I do. I mean, I've worn less on camera. I have a very dark past. So okay, we're gonna sit here. We're gonna play Gift or a Curse. And I don't know if you're familiar with the game, but I'm going to name some things. You'll tell me if they're a gift or a curse and why. Then I'll tell you if you're right or wrong. Oh and by the way, Puzzle King and Queen, you are gonna win a prize if you get to the end, So put in the work and you you all are gonna win a prize as well if you played the game correctly. Okay, So do you have a mic? Let's see here. Okay, everybody's got technology. Okay, so you're I'm going to give you two things. You'll tell me and we'll see how you do, and then we'll head down. I'm not gonna leave you two out. Okay, So let's get into the dock here. These were all sourced during my fourteen hours on Instagram today. Thank you to the people who've sent them in. Okay, first of all, gift your a curse? Cold showers Hmmm okay, I'm gonna say gift. 00:12:25 Speaker 8: Why because it shocks you? Okay, so it's like a little excitement in your day you wouldn't have otherwise. 00:12:32 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, correct, Yes, it's a gift. I mean, maybe not on a chilly night like tonight, but I love a cold shower. We all know, we don't all have the plunge or whatever the hell, but you get in the shower and get that blast to the face. I'm sure it does the same thing. Yeah, so it's a gift. You've gotten one, right so far. Number two, gift or a curse? When a waiter says enjoy your meal and you say you too. 00:13:02 Speaker 8: I do this one far too often. I would say it's a curse. Why Because you don't mean to say it, and you're always a little bit embarrassed and you wonder what the waiter thinks about you. 00:13:17 Speaker 9: It's just awkward. 00:13:18 Speaker 1: Wrong, It's a gift, I and it's for this reason. I think the waiter needs to see you in a weak moment. They need to find out that you're imperfect. Yeah, and then the relationship is a little bit more fluid loose. You're gonna have more fun over your vulnerable at that. Yes, so you've got You've got one, right, Okay, how do you feel? 00:13:39 Speaker 9: I feel? 00:13:41 Speaker 1: Okay? Okay, well that's a good attitude. You win a prize. Okay, let's see what you won. I'll open it for you. Okay, let's see here. So this is Okay, you do get a cookie, so that will be in the bottom of the back. And everybody voted on these on Patreon the things that I should give away. So this is a a fragrance from Rachel Dratch that is half used. She bought it half used. It's called Redhead and Bed and it personally, I don't like the smell, but you might be into it. And you also get a little sticker from the podcast. This is new merch Actually this is actually basically a product launch. This is this is I may be available online now, I'm not sure, but this is for you. So you take that and then let's head on to the next contestant. Remind me your name, Vincent. Okay, Vincent, are you ready, Okay, we'll see number one. Gift her a curse hard boiled eggs on a salad. 00:14:46 Speaker 10: Curse? 00:14:47 Speaker 11: Why because I feel like when you have harbolled eggs, your breast smells. Then you have to interact with people, and that's kind of weird. Also, I'm a deviled egg guy, you know, I like a little I like it, but a little bit of seasoning, a little bit of something extra to the deviled egg. 00:15:03 Speaker 1: Right. Wrong. First of all, you lost me a deviled egg. No, no, no, Second of all, you definitely want We've seen the protein craze. It's we've all need the protein, but we also need our fiber. So this is a great combination of the two. And I love a boiled egg. To the fact that the other night my cobb salad didn't come with one and I had to request can I get my egg? Which was unpleasant, But it's worth it. So you got one wrong. Okay, So next gift or a curse? That tiny pocket inside of front pocket of your jeans. 00:15:38 Speaker 11: Oh that's a gift for sure. Why all the time I'll just jam something in my pocket forget about it, and then a few weeks later I find it again and it's like a mini Christmas sermony, birthday, and it's so nice to just have a little surprise in your pants every once in a while. 00:15:54 Speaker 1: Correct, that's a gift. That little pocket was someone's dream. They followed their dream and got it into almost all pants, So I think that's great. That's a gift. And so you got one out of two, which again is a failure, but you still get to win a prize. So let's find out what you're going to get. Now. This is okay. 00:16:15 Speaker 7: So this is. 00:16:15 Speaker 1: The Oreo Ultimate Dunking Set from David desk Mulchin. 00:16:21 Speaker 7: I get a real gift. 00:16:22 Speaker 1: This was bought at Goodwill and is definitely expired.

You're I mean, this is a very good prize for you, so you can go ahead and take that. 00:19:38 Speaker 13: If it's a good prize, Bridge, excuse me. If it's a good present, why didn't you use it? 00:19:46 Speaker 1: Who is that? 00:19:47 Speaker 3: You know who it is? 00:19:49 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's Jeff Loveness. 00:19:52 Speaker 13: Was this your little plan to humiliate me on the stage where Shirley Temple learned to dance? 00:20:01 Speaker 1: Jeff, it's a good gift and I wanted to give it to one of our wonderful audience members. 00:20:06 Speaker 13: Sam, your nose seems great.

Of course, of course, everybody give it up. For these three wonderful, wonderful. I guess I could have offered help. Oh this is this is a good reminder. I almost forgot. People have brought gifts.

Let's take these over because bending over is not for tonight. Okay, let's see what's happening here, and I'll go through this quickly because I know this is painful to watch a person open gifts.

You were the love of my life and I wouldn't trade our life together for anything. I love you. Happy anniversary and that's love.

The gummy clusters. Ooh, the nerds gummy clusters. Thank you so much, you two, and thank you for doing the work. 00:23:54 Speaker 7: Mike. 00:23:54 Speaker 1: Oh there's one other thing in here.

Okay, Oh, oh my god. People see again, I'm on Instagram. People are finding out about me. I have the worst whisk in the world. I think I found it in the garbage and people were shaming me about it online when I made cookies twice this week and someone has given me actually good whisks. My sister was mad at me about the whisks. I think she was embarrassed that those were online. So thank you. Is there a card or anything, I don't think so, but thank you to whoever and now I've got my things. Should we see what else is going on in the show? Oh? Oh no, what someone here? Somebody here?

Welcome to I said, no, good. 00:25:17 Speaker 9: Wow, Oh my gosh, how's it going? 00:25:20 Speaker 1: You made it? 00:25:21 Speaker 9: I'm so happy to be here. 00:25:22 Speaker 1: You were one of our earliest guests. 00:25:24 Speaker 3: Do you want to cookie? 00:25:25 Speaker 9: I'm curious about him for the second I start talking. But are they good? Have you had one? 00:25:30 Speaker 1: I hope I made them? 00:25:32 Speaker 9: You made them? 00:25:33 Speaker 1: And if people don't like them, I'm gonna be crubbed. 00:25:35 Speaker 9: I'll take a bite. 00:25:36 Speaker 1: Take a bite. Let's let's hear how it is. 00:25:38 Speaker 9: What's what's the flavor? I'm working? 00:25:39 Speaker 1: It's chocolate chip? Icy in here? 00:25:42 Speaker 3: Oh? 00:25:42 Speaker 1: Can you eat a walnut? 00:25:43 Speaker 3: Yeah? 00:25:43 Speaker 9: I just wanted to know about it. 00:25:44 Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked. We just something. I'm grabbing an EPI pan. Take a bite. Let's and if you don't like it, don't look at me. You like it. It's a good cookie. It's actually it's a good cookie. This is really perfer Oh, thank you. 00:26:01 Speaker 9: I'm usually not one for nuts. 00:26:03 Speaker 1: Oh. Lauren was one of our first sixteen guests. 00:26:07 Speaker 9: I can't believe it was. I really was. 00:26:09 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty. 00:26:10 Speaker 9: I often think about what I gave you and how offended you were. 00:26:15 Speaker 1: Lauren gave me a package of thank you cards. 00:26:18 Speaker 9: I thought you would need them. 00:26:21 Speaker 1: I didn't, and I ended up using all of them, but one what are you saving it for? I was going to bring it tonight, but I couldn't find the right sized envelope. 00:26:29 Speaker 9: So I thought it was a good present, and then I over time realized how unhinged it was as a present. 00:26:36 Speaker 1: I thought it was such a good early on present because you really threw something in my face. You kind of just showed that you didn't want to be there all. One of my nails fell off. 00:26:45 Speaker 3: What okay? 00:26:45 Speaker 9: And I want to talk about these because the gloves. I think they're iconic. I'm just so curious about you know how like you know, people who work with money get dirty fingers. 00:26:54 Speaker 1: Oh sure, sure. 00:26:55 Speaker 9: You have a bit of that happening here. And I'm just curdus. 00:26:58 Speaker 1: If I was a bank teller, you're I go into Chase Bank every day. 00:27:04 Speaker 9: These it's actually the whole fingers coming through on that guy. 00:27:09 Speaker 1: It's actually shocking to me that they're this dirty, because. 00:27:12 Speaker 9: That's what I'm wondering, is like the presents are inherently really dirty, is what we're learning. 00:27:16 Speaker 1: Everything we touched, Yeah, everything we touch is gross. And I've been using them for five years to demonstrate different products, different items, and I guess I mean, like there's there's pen ink, So I never used a pen to demonstrate anything. 00:27:30 Speaker 9: So the ghost of those whoever owned those originally probably. 00:27:33 Speaker 1: Right, right. But these were pristine white when I first started using them. And people are begging me, people are sending me new gloves, saying please wear those. 00:27:41 Speaker 9: I think they just have to get as dirty as they're gonna get. At this point, I think you're locked in. 00:27:45 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're locked in. How often are you doing laundry? 00:27:49 Speaker 9: Every other day? 00:27:50 Speaker 1: At least every other day? I have two kids, though, Oh that makes sense. 00:27:53 Speaker 9: There's so much laundry, and my dog pisses on shit and fucking I'm like always washing my ruggable, which I'm not sure. 00:28:00 Speaker 1: About you're not sure about it. 00:28:02 Speaker 9: I'm not sure because here's the thing with ruggabull do you have anyone use them? And I'm happy if they want me to be. 00:28:08 Speaker 1: A disrupted rugs. 00:28:10 Speaker 9: Yeah, well they totally did they really, we didn't know what we were doing before. 00:28:13 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:28:13 Speaker 9: Yeah, but I have the I have the rug pad under it, but then my dog pisses on the rug in the kitchen. It's their favorite place to piss, and I think the pad has got to be disgusting. I'm the rug, but not the pad. You can't wash the pad? 00:28:29 Speaker 1: Do you have to throw it out every time? 00:28:30 Speaker 9: I did throw out one and get a new one, but it was it's expensive to do that. 00:28:33 Speaker 1: That probably costs more than the rug itself. 00:28:35 Speaker 9: Yeah. 00:28:35 Speaker 1: And it's almost like you can't buy a battery for a Tesla or whatever. It's like, do they sell the things separately from the rugble to buy a whole. 00:28:41 Speaker 9: New drug separately? You can't buy a battery for a test leaf to buy a whole new test like. 00:28:45 Speaker 1: You throw them away or something as far as I know. But wow, So cyber trucks plug. 00:28:54 Speaker 9: I just got one. Are they plugins or no? Because I don't think so.

I was like, of course you're playing the matrix. 00:29:36 Speaker 9: Everyone who owns a Tesla is bad. But you know a lot of you are right. 00:29:40 Speaker 1: I mean, it's become a very complicated issue in America. 00:29:45 Speaker 9: Everyone's trying to get their sticker on the back, like I had those four. 00:29:51 Speaker 1: Uh yeah. The Tesla Diner, I think is already falling apart. I feel like they already canceled half their menu. 00:29:58 Speaker 9: I think we need to not do this. Have you in the City National Cafe or whatever it is by the mall? 00:30:04 Speaker 1: Yes, over America. 00:30:06 Speaker 9: Yes, it's like a bank Capital one Cafe, and it's like, who the fuck is like, let's get a coffee at Capital One.

And then it's not really even a bank. It's just a bunch of ATMs. 00:30:24 Speaker 9: It's it's not a bank, it's a restaurant. 00:30:28 Speaker 1: That's my favorite.

I have not my wife Tesla before Trump was elected, saying she got the SUV model, didn't like it too much windshield and I've always felt cooked. 00:31:23 Speaker 1: Right, I don't understand the appeal of that. You're constantly being blasted by the sun. 00:31:27 Speaker 3: Yes, and the technology of a Listen, I'm gonna go full old man right now. 00:31:31 Speaker 1: I wanted what was the show for? 00:31:34 Speaker 3: Yeah, cars have too many buttons. Now everything's button like a handle. Worked great. 00:31:40 Speaker 9: I don't like the sh I rented a minivan recently, which was amazing she was like, I got to switch over to this, but it was a button to switch gears, and I thought, this is so fun. I'm to start going all over the place. If I pushed the wrong thing, it was crazy. 00:31:54 Speaker 1: No, we've all kind of developed the muscle memory for the basic car features. Yes, I don't want to relearn. I'm now twisting to get to that. 00:32:03 Speaker 5: Twist. 00:32:03 Speaker 9: I twisted my car on. 00:32:05 Speaker 1: It's why you gotta do like a like a purple going not for me, Not for me. I was driving a stick shift for my first five years in l A. And it felt he wasn't thought you were cool because there's a stoplight every four feet. 00:32:19 Speaker 9: Yeah, that's so annoying. 00:32:20 Speaker 1: It's a real difficult time. But uh yeah, I kind of miss it now because I'm twisting. It's not any fun. But can I say something about the steps twister? Yeah, thank you. 00:32:31 Speaker 3: We always say that about it. 00:32:33 Speaker 1: I feel like I had number boy. 00:32:38 Speaker 3: Twist I had. 00:32:47 Speaker 1: When did you realize Elon Musk was horrible? 00:32:50 Speaker 3: I'm still like barely aware of him, to be honest, like barely aware of it. I think I think I think the Amber Heard relationship kind of made. 00:32:58 Speaker 1: Me go interesting that I didn't know that happened. 00:33:02 Speaker 3: Okay? 00:33:03 Speaker 1: Is that pre or post crimes? 00:33:05 Speaker 3: Uh? 00:33:06 Speaker 9: She was in a relationship with Grimes or Grimes had a baby with. 00:33:09 Speaker 1: Him to I think too? 00:33:12 Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, yeah, it changes my experience listening to her music, which I totally. 00:33:17 Speaker 3: Ruined her catalog for my relationship is like Pirates of the Caribbean, Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp feel bad for her. Aquaman is not that bad? Oh no, wait, Cord thing a mega cup? What does he say? Like a mega glass of wine? And the lawyer I never heard. 00:33:36 Speaker 1: Of this, okay. 00:33:40 Speaker 3: And then and then Amber is like she's moved on from Johnny to Elon and I was like, oh, that feels that I'm not rooting for that for some reason. 00:33:47 Speaker 1: No, that's tough to hear. That's really tough. 00:33:51 Speaker 3: And he puts buttons on his car doors. 00:33:54 Speaker 9: No, it's not easy to get that handle out, okay, which like an asshole trying to get into my friend's car. 00:34:02 Speaker 1: Oh, I feel so stupid every time. I just feel like trash. 00:34:07 Speaker 3: It's very it's also to get your child out with like the te wing doors. Okay. 00:34:12 Speaker 1: The problem I'm not familiar with. Should I think we should check in now, I think it's probably should we check in on the puzzle case. 00:34:19 Speaker 9: Yes, I'm actually really curious about this. 00:34:21 Speaker 1: Let's see what's happening here. 00:34:23 Speaker 9: Okay, okay, so are. 00:34:25 Speaker 3: We allowed to give tips? 00:34:26 Speaker 1: You can give tips. 00:34:27 Speaker 9: We were pretty stressing out backstage because there's no piles happening, there's no. 00:34:33 Speaker 3: You both seem wonderful, and we feel conflicted for you that you had to buy tickets to then like watch the back of our heads for an hour and a half. But you start with corners, you go colors, edge pieces, edges, use the full space of the table too. There's a whole blank space to. 00:34:49 Speaker 1: The left, that wasted space to the left. 00:34:52 Speaker 3: Just use that to spread. As you can see it, very. 00:34:54 Speaker 9: Little forward movement happening, and I feel very worried. 00:34:57 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:34:57 Speaker 1: Well, and they haven't even touched their refreshments, so they're probably parched. 00:35:01 Speaker 9: Oh you got to eat the cookie. 00:35:02 Speaker 1: And if you look at Bridge or you like the cookie, yes. 00:35:05 Speaker 9: You don't look at him, you don't like it. 00:35:07 Speaker 1: But has anything happened over there? 00:35:09 Speaker 3: Yes? 00:35:10 Speaker 1: You two. There's a lot of defense defenders audience, a lot of them. These people committed to this. 00:35:19 Speaker 3: A thousand piece puzzle is ludicrous. 00:35:22 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm glad to hear this. 00:35:23 Speaker 9: I started them with like a four, a five hundred for an hour and a half. 00:35:26 Speaker 3: Four you could do still looks like that. Don't rip the pieces up. 00:35:32 Speaker 1: How long would it take each tribute to do a thousand piece puzzle? 00:35:35 Speaker 3: Three days? 00:35:36 Speaker 9: It's a pandemic. I was really into that, and I it would be maybe a week. 00:35:40 Speaker 1: I don't okay, I don't know if it was a five hundred, five hundred a couple hours, Okay, Yeah, what sort of pictures are you doing? You know what? 00:35:49 Speaker 9: There's a great company that I loved when I was doing the Mountain, White Mountain or something like that. Do they know this puzzle company? They make really fun ones and it'll be like TV shows and it's like all like little cartoons of all the best TV shows over that's all the time, and like candy bars and it's like all candy bars, very. 00:36:06 Speaker 3: Fun white White Mountain puzzles. Before Trump was elected, yeah, after and I'm finally similar sounding. There's a great five hundred piece when I did recently that's like iconic nineties image that it's like Blockbuster and Dawson from Dawson's Creek and that was a joy, and. 00:36:25 Speaker 9: That was like really fun. 00:36:26 Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time visualizing these as good puzzles. But I like, you know, a beautiful scene. 00:36:32 Speaker 9: You like it like. 00:36:33 Speaker 1: Fall leaves, and it's just like artist Thomas Thomas. Yeah, I only do Thomas. Did you know he had a real public urination problem? This is true, I tell yeah, down the doorbells. 00:36:48 Speaker 9: What's my favorite thing about it? 00:36:50 Speaker 1: Who is here?

I don't know what that is. 00:37:18 Speaker 3: Someone wasn't watching the monitor backstage. 00:37:21 Speaker 9: No, the gossip was too good back there. We were getting into some good stuff. Really, we had different sides of a gossip. 00:37:32 Speaker 1: Oh I heard about this. 00:37:33 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not going to share it here. I don't know anyone involved. 00:37:37 Speaker 1: Can you say the key word because there's a. 00:37:39 Speaker 9: Fun No, I don't know what a keyword was. 00:37:45 Speaker 1: The crime that happened, Well, there's. 00:37:47 Speaker 9: A cheating scandal. 00:37:49 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a fiscal crime. 00:37:53 Speaker 1: Yeah, yea.

Okay, it's sensitive, Yeah, Bridger, you live here, I live here, this is my home. 00:38:02 Speaker 10: Okay, wonder if you're interrupted. 00:38:04 Speaker 9: I'm so curious and I don't mean to be rude. Okay, but what's under. 00:38:08 Speaker 1: What's under this? 00:38:10 Speaker 12: Oh? 00:38:11 Speaker 10: Yeah, we were wondering. 00:38:12 Speaker 1: I am wearing underwear, okay, and a conservative pair. 00:38:19 Speaker 10: Bloomers ruffle. 00:38:22 Speaker 1: My boyfriend told me I should wear shorts, but then I thought, what if they're too long?

We were just getting into Thomas Kinkaid peeing places and marking his territory. 00:38:51 Speaker 10: Big pisser Kinkaid. 00:38:54 Speaker 4: Kinkaid love to piss, and I think that's part of what made him see nature in such a beautiful way. 00:39:01 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:39:03 Speaker 9: He had quiet moments of solitude in it exactly. 00:39:05 Speaker 4: I think he became so relaxed that his bows loosed and then he would make like a beautiful impressionist painting. 00:39:13 Speaker 3: No a worked until then. 00:39:19 Speaker 10: Yeah, I know who he is. 00:39:21 Speaker 3: But he did work with water colors. 00:39:22 Speaker 1: He did work with oils and water colors and had the peeing problem. I don't know why I know that. 00:39:29 Speaker 9: Yeah, I want to know more about it. 00:39:30 Speaker 1: I have gotten to his Wikipedia at some point, and there's a whole section public urination or whatever. Rip he's gone. 00:39:37 Speaker 3: No, I died. 00:39:38 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know because of the public urination. 00:39:42 Speaker 3: Sorry, wait, you didn't I just didn't know. 00:39:45 Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, all right, died of a broken piss. 00:39:52 Speaker 3: Broken pissard. Yeah, died of a broken pissard artist father, broken pissar. 00:40:00 Speaker 10: Oh, it's gonna be sad. 00:40:01 Speaker 1: At the end of twenty four, I predicted this year was going to be big for public urination. 00:40:05 Speaker 3: Not the TV series. 00:40:08 Speaker 1: At the end of twenty I love the show. This is gonna be big for a public domination. 00:40:14 Speaker 3: I liked them. 00:40:14 Speaker 4: We all thought different things because I was I thought you were talking about your twenty fourth birthday, like. 00:40:18 Speaker 1: Your year being. 00:40:20 Speaker 9: I knew you were talking about the year, but I thought I never really say that twenty five, you have to say. 00:40:25 Speaker 1: Twenty Yeah, we've got to fix that. 00:40:27 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think we should because I liked it. It was good. 00:40:29 Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty four eight. You know that really works, right? You don't say at the end of nineteen ninety eight. 00:40:34 Speaker 9: Yeah you're a nerd? 00:40:36 Speaker 1: Yeah, total dork. 00:40:37 Speaker 14: Yeah. 00:40:39 Speaker 1: But I predicted that, and I think it has come true. I saw a guy outside of his place of work ping in Glendale, so that was enough for me. 00:40:48 Speaker 9: Does it bother you? 00:40:50 Speaker 1: And how long. 00:40:50 Speaker 10: Did you watch? 00:40:51 Speaker 1: I was a little stoplight, so I got my I got my look, and then I carried on with my day. 00:40:56 Speaker 14: Of course. 00:40:57 Speaker 9: I think it's a little shocking, but I don't know that it's like the biggest deal in it. 00:40:59 Speaker 1: I think it's fine. Yeah, I think we've got to I think we need to loosen up. 00:41:03 Speaker 15: About I do have some Kincaid lore if you're curious. Oh my god, we did call it ritual territory marking, which he called he called it that, he called it that, he called her that which allegedly manifested itself in the late nineteen nineties outside the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim.

I guess he denied it, but one of his friends like ratted him out. 00:42:24 Speaker 10: So was he handsome? 00:42:26 Speaker 3: I wonder? 00:42:27 Speaker 1: Oh, I wonder what he looked like?

Okay. 00:43:24 Speaker 9: I can get really stuck when someone says no gifts because it feels, you know that you spin out. Yeah, It's like, does that what they mean? Or is everyone going to bring one? And I'm not going to have one? And so I want to make sure I have what I might need. You know, you can reject it. 00:43:38 Speaker 1: Sure, And our confrontation on the last episode meant nothing to you. You was so long ago, you know, COVID brain, COVID brain, COVID brain.

This is what I'll say about the lafufuo, and if you haven't bought either, the nice thing about a lafufu is that I think they have a superior package packaging because you open like a potato chip bag, and that there's nothing more satisfying than that. Yeah, this is a little sleek er, a little bit more twenty twenty five, but uh, wonderful, beautiful. 01:07:35 Speaker 10: There's nothing more satisfying than a pop. 01:07:38 Speaker 1: Should we get into yours vini?

I really like this type of wrapping. By the way, I ran a whole our Amazon business when I was interning in New York, where I would take free CDs from work I'm so sorry and use these and ship them all over the country. They would be wrapped up in coupons. You would do what I would. I worked at David Letterman Show and they would get free CDs and stuff, so I would take all of those back to the apartment, and then I would wrap them up in the circulars for the week and send them across the country. And it worked. It was a beautiful business. 01:08:18 Speaker 9: Yes, that's really smart. 01:08:19 Speaker 3: I profited. 01:08:20 Speaker 1: I profited. 01:08:20 Speaker 3: You're like like like Columbia House, but Bridger House, Bridgerhouse. 01:08:26 Speaker 1: Yes, so this is a great type of wrapping paper. I suggest it for anyone. Okay, oh wait, what I mean, I'm baffled. It's okay, I should take it all out at once. 01:08:38 Speaker 3: Yes, it's for listeners. It's it's a it's a sort of plastic bag that was wrapped in in the coupon paper that looks like a plastic bag you get from like a spirit Halloween store. 01:08:48 Speaker 9: That's beautiful. 01:08:50 Speaker 3: Seeing a raven a raven jet blacks. 01:08:53 Speaker 1: Would you put this on me?

I didn't know if you had one kind of in your collection. 01:09:25 Speaker 9: This is really good. Yeah, wow, that's beautiful. 01:09:29 Speaker 4: I think everyone needs one that looking perfect. 01:09:35 Speaker 10: It's really nice. 01:09:36 Speaker 3: Could be Madeline con could be yeah. 01:09:39 Speaker 1: Okay, And was this used for another costume or what? 01:09:43 Speaker 4: No, it wasn't. It's one hundred percent human. Yeah, and it was actually very expensive. 01:09:49 Speaker 1: Is that true? 01:09:50 Speaker 7: Yes? 01:09:53 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's a beautiful wig. 01:09:55 Speaker 6: Yeah. 01:09:55 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, it's very so be careful with it, be gentle with it. 01:09:58 Speaker 1: Very careful. 01:09:59 Speaker 10: It's yeah. 01:10:01 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can feel a different attitude for me already. Serious. 01:10:07 Speaker 14: She don't got no pants on, she don't got no panties on? 01:10:12 Speaker 1: It all deal with Uh, do you have a lot of wigs? 01:10:18 Speaker 17: No? 01:10:20 Speaker 4: So basically I got this because i'd gotten you the other thing, and it felt almost as if you'd want to wear it while you had this. Oh, I thought it might be fun for you to, you know, if you wanted to unwind and you know, take a break and be someone else for a second. There's a lollipop as well, because I thought it would round out the character. 01:10:39 Speaker 1: Very low la oh. It's a gorgeous mug with two little pomeranium. 01:10:50 Speaker 4: That is it's actually Javanchi. What the mug is Javanci and it's expensive. Yeah, yes, no, I saw it in the store and clearly someone made this for someone else's a gift to those are clearly someone's owned Pomeranians. And I was kind of inspired by who that person might be. I mean, it clearly is a woman, sure, and maybe her name is Linda, and maybe she works in hospital administration. 01:11:24 Speaker 1: Oh is that why she has the two suckers and here like yeah, yeah, yeah, she gives those out take a sucker before you go. 01:11:31 Speaker 10: And the wig is part of it. 01:11:32 Speaker 4: She has beautiful hair, but she wears wigs just because she enjoys them. 01:11:36 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah. Did you get this at Goodwill? Because that that to me, I'm asking because when you find something that there's a very sad section of Goodwill where it's like, oh, these were former gifts that someone thought about. And here's what I. 01:11:47 Speaker 4: Will say if even I did get it from goodwill, But there is I was looking through Goodwill while I was looking for that mug, and there was a book that said for Tony. 01:11:58 Speaker 14: Oh and one wonders. 01:12:02 Speaker 4: Do you remember what the book was? The book was It was a whole bunch. It was a whole bunch of New Yorker cartoons, but only the dog ones. It was only dog New Yorker cartoons, and a whole bunch of people had signed it for Tony. Oh so, I don't know if Tony had a falling out with his friend group, yeah, or if he'd like moved to another country where that kind of thing isn't allowed. Those are probably the only two options. And then of course they saw this mug which had no information whatsoever. Besides the two Pomeranians, which, based on the quality of the flooring, have shortly passed away by now. 01:12:38 Speaker 9: The picture is not even good. 01:12:42 Speaker 1: One of them's cut off and one's totally blown out. Yeah yeah, I mean, sir, if it was just the only picture ever taken of these dogs, that's the question I can I guess I can see why you would get rid of this. 01:12:54 Speaker 3: May I ask a process question? Just because it came with two lollipops, yes, different flavors. One made it into the wrapping with the mug, one made it with the wood. Question, is there is there a connection there? 01:13:06 Speaker 10: And that's a really great question, thank you. 01:13:07 Speaker 4: Here's what happened is basically sometimes every now and then I get a sandwich from a sub sandwich place and they give you a free lollipop with the meal. Wow, I've done it twice in the past couple of weeks. And so I do have two lollipops. 01:13:20 Speaker 9: And they're very different. 01:13:21 Speaker 10: And they're very different. 01:13:22 Speaker 9: It's not like they just have one big bulk bag that they're handing out. These are like, No, this week we're doing caramel apple pops, and last week it was blue Ras. 01:13:29 Speaker 1: Oh, now blue Ras, blue Ras. 01:13:31 Speaker 9: This was where it was at. 01:13:32 Speaker 1: It's a classic flavor. Everyone loves it. There's no one that doesn't like it. There's no one. 01:13:35 Speaker 4: I go to the mug and I had forgotten that that lollipop was in there, and I was looking around my house, so fuck, go, fuck go, fuck I can't find a lollipop. 01:13:43 Speaker 10: I meant to bock the lot and and then I find the. 01:13:45 Speaker 4: Second lollipop and I think, okay, perfect, I'll just throw this in the bag. 01:13:49 Speaker 1: Perfect. What I want to know the sub sandwich place that's really great service. 01:13:53 Speaker 10: Love and sandwiches. 01:13:54 Speaker 1: Okay, it's very good. 01:13:55 Speaker 10: Get the Dutch crunch bread. 01:13:57 Speaker 1: Oh, I love a Dutch crunch. What a texture what a flavor. Well, I've got my wig on. Do either of you have any wigs? 01:14:03 Speaker 9: I have many? 01:14:04 Speaker 1: You have many? That makes sense. 01:14:05 Speaker 9: You have a favorite, Yeah, to have a favorite, I have, you know, I have just a lot of them are in terrible condition because I just used them for sketches and I've never washed any of that. I never brushed them. That was not part of the deal. So there's one that's like it's like it's like a mullet, but it has like a lot of hair sticking up on top too. 01:14:23 Speaker 1: I love that one. 01:14:24 Speaker 9: It makes you look really uning. 01:14:27 Speaker 3: Yeah, my favorite. My favorite was was mullet ish. It was like very curly, like tight curls, but but voluptuous and sort of like sandy blonde. That was a real go to. And then the other one that I really held onto for a while was just like a wizard's wig and beard because it was the easiest Halloween cost a wizard grove. It's just Jammy's on the street for. 01:14:48 Speaker 9: It's really hard to get rid of those. I can't get rid of them. I just go like these are it's too good. I don't know, just for just one day when I'm being silly, even at this. 01:14:55 Speaker 1: Point, get rid of wigs. 01:14:57 Speaker 9: Yeah, and who wants my old nasty way. 01:14:59 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is something you just kind of have to keep for the rest of your life. 01:15:04 Speaker 4: No, it's my old nasty wig, my old nasty wig. 01:15:13 Speaker 1: Well, I feel like I've got my wig on, I've got my laboo boos. I have everything I could possibly ever wish for. I think we should play a game. Yay, We're gonna play a gift or curse. I do not need a number from any of you because I've got our game pieces set to go. So we let's see here. Let's get into it. I I gotta get into the dock. Now. This is how we play gift or a curse, and you all have to be careful. I'm gonna name a few things. We'll see how how I feel, and you're gonna tell me if they're a gift or a curson why, and I'll tell if you're right or wrong, and then we'll see who wins because there are correct answers. Okay, first up, be very careful. Okay, First up, constellations and this is from a listener named Sam. Gift or a Curse. Constellations, Lauren, oh, I would say it's a gift because it makes you feel like there's some sense of purpose in the world. Okay, oh universe, okay, taran. 01:16:08 Speaker 3: Curse for two reasons, almost the inverse of what, like they don't really grant light, Like if there's a light on anywhere near you, you're not gonna see them anyway, so they're worthless for that. But also like to see them, like and then find out what they are. They're far away, they might not even exist anymore, Like they're nothing, Like they literally are nothing. But also when I think of constellations, I think of like constellation stickers that glow and are stuck on your ceiling, and like every time you try to move and get those off, it peels the pain right, and it's you don't get your deposit back. 01:16:40 Speaker 4: Okay, Vinny, I think constellations are a curse in the sense that those people are lying when they say that those stars look like what they're saying they look like that's true, that's ridiculous. 01:16:51 Speaker 10: They don't look like a hunter. That's incredibly stupid. 01:16:54 Speaker 4: When I see people draw out those lines, it's like, get a. 01:16:57 Speaker 10: Grip, Yeah, get a grip. 01:17:00 Speaker 9: There's a really long space and. 01:17:04 Speaker 10: The handles all bent like this. Yeah, what are you using that to dip into. 01:17:10 Speaker 1: Goofy Oh, you're correct, curse the second gift left my mouth. I knew they don't exist. Yeah, I mean, I agree with Vinnie. They're not real. Somebody made them up, and now a bunch of people have gotten tricked into thinking they're real. I've anytime I've ever said, oh I see it, I didn't see it. I simply didn't see the constellation. I just wanted to move on with my night. So it's a curse. Two of you have gotten points. Lauren, you're behind. 01:17:38 Speaker 12: That sucks. 01:17:38 Speaker 1: Okay, it sucks pretty bad. 01:17:40 Speaker 9: That's hard. 01:17:41 Speaker 1: It's tough for you. Let's do a quick puzzle check in. Oh whoa, I mean I've okay, sure there are pieces that have been hooked together. Okay, let's get into the second one here. 01:17:56 Speaker 3: This is from listening. 01:17:56 Speaker 10: Easy, you keep checking in. It's so dispiriting. I'm hoping for America. 01:18:02 Speaker 1: Okay, okay. This is from a listener named Caitlin. Gift or a curse. Putting on deodorant after putting on your clothes. 01:18:13 Speaker 9: I think it's a gift. I did it today, Okay, I actually usually do put it on after I put on my clothes. But I don't necessarily go she's putting it on the shirt. I mean, I'll go under the shirt. I'll get in there. It's a gift, though, it's like, you know, it's my last bit of self cash before I leave. 01:18:31 Speaker 3: Absolute gift. You got to put the shirt on first. It's all about control. What would you rather have, like maybe a little smudge around the inner sleeve of your shirt or a huge streak of the side as you pull it down over your body. 01:18:47 Speaker 10: Yeah, you know what? 01:18:48 Speaker 4: And I was going to say curse, but now I do think it's a gift because if I'm putting deodoran on when I have my clothes on, it means that last minute. 01:18:55 Speaker 10: I remembered to do it. 01:18:56 Speaker 14: Yeah. Yeah, if I'm doing it means I remember, And that's a blessing. 01:19:02 Speaker 1: It's a gift. I think. I'm actually shocked that this was brought up for a long time. 01:19:06 Speaker 3: I did it before you. 01:19:08 Speaker 1: Get the streak, and also the the way you two are describing it is you're putting it through the sleeve. 01:19:14 Speaker 3: Under the shirt up under. I still find that there's there's high risk of smudging on the way up. You really got a guide it close to the tor show through the sleeve. Unless you're wearing a long sleeve, then you must you must go through torso. But a short sleeve you just have quicker access. And again it's being hidden between bicep and lateral right. 01:19:34 Speaker 1: Does that makes sense? 01:19:38 Speaker 14: I think I always roll mine up. 01:19:40 Speaker 10: You guys, don't bunch your shirt up and roll it up and hike it. 01:19:42 Speaker 3: Out a greaser so. 01:19:46 Speaker 9: I don't need my tits out while I put the deodoran on, So I don't do that. You've never read the directions over your head like Amelia Badelia, she's too literal. 01:20:01 Speaker 1: No, I think that's a gift. I mean I tell every everyone should do that, and I guess if you had the spray, you could go. But I've never I don't have the spray. Anyone do the spray because I'm curious. 01:20:12 Speaker 9: Like like when I do my like workout classes, some of the places will have like the spray if you are in a pinch. I guess that's the best situation. I don't think anyone's using spray every day. 01:20:20 Speaker 1: Anybody, Okay, why. 01:20:21 Speaker 10: Would you use the spray? 01:20:22 Speaker 4: It's like you're a cow being sprayed with pesticide or something. 01:20:25 Speaker 14: It just feels it feels very agricultural. 01:20:29 Speaker 1: Clap. Clap if you use the bar oh, interesting enough response. 01:20:35 Speaker 3: Actually clap if you use the spray, well, we found him, We found them them and then cows your cows. 01:20:45 Speaker 1: Absolutely not the entire audience with that, either of those. So there's a huge Some people don't do anything. They've got another there. 01:20:53 Speaker 10: You use the salt stick. 01:20:55 Speaker 1: Some of you are using a crystal. 01:20:56 Speaker 9: That was and just like that. 01:20:58 Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, which one of you is using oil? Raise your head? 01:21:02 Speaker 1: What is the salt stick? 01:21:03 Speaker 9: It's like it's like using like you know, like a salt lamp. Okay, yes, it's like using a crystal on your armpit that it goes away. Crystal smells like ship. Crystal smells like like a fucking b oh all right. 01:21:22 Speaker 1: This third one is from a listener named Eric Gift to a curse when a man and when a man and a woman are shopping at the mall together and while the woman browses at the more feminine stores, the men waits just outside. 01:21:34 Speaker 9: This is a curse. 01:21:35 Speaker 1: Look at this asshole. 01:21:36 Speaker 9: This is so this is so annoying, Like this makes you feel the pressure, like you have to shop like quickly. Like it's like, oh we're bored. I'm bored and gonna get out of here. Like I hate that, Like stay home, please, stay home. I don't want you near me if you're going to be mad about everything I'm doing, like. 01:21:54 Speaker 3: A full curse, full curse. Binary is a myth and we need to break down the system. Also for them all, you're just like breaking up foot traffic in such an annoying way, like stay with your party. Yeah that way, I can work my way around the jacket rack. But if you're coming at me from two different sections and it's just it's just an absolute disaster waiting to happen. 01:22:17 Speaker 4: Okay, Finny, This is tricky because ultimately it is a gift for women not to have him in the store. 01:22:26 Speaker 10: I think that is a gift. 01:22:28 Speaker 4: But the phenomenon itself, I think is a curse and also dips into some weird heterosexual thing where you're like, I. 01:22:34 Speaker 14: Can't be in the store that has women in it. 01:22:36 Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be gay, and I'm not sure that's how that works. 01:22:44 Speaker 1: So curse across the board for the three of you. 01:22:46 Speaker 14: Wrong. 01:22:47 Speaker 1: What Look, you're talking to a real guys. Guy, while my lady's shopping, I'm checking out what else is available, I'm wandering eyes. Yeah, that's the only time I'm I get away from my wife a few minutes to look for another wife. So I think it's a gift and you all missed the point. 01:23:15 Speaker 4: What a disappointing factor in your your. 01:23:23 Speaker 1: Listen. You missed the point. I was not keeping track of points. Oh, I think who feels like they lost? I lost. 01:23:33 Speaker 9: I definitely. 01:23:39 Speaker 4: Imagine if your wife goes to Auntie Anne's and you go to wels. 01:23:44 Speaker 9: Is For fucking dudes, I'm not buying some antis pretzel. 01:23:52 Speaker 1: Okay, we have to have a tie breaker. This is from a listener named Emily. Gift or a curse waking up moments before your alarm goes off. 01:24:01 Speaker 9: Oh, it's a It's it's two things. Because it's a gift because you don't have to hear the alarm sound, which is so triggering and upsetting. It's a curse because you missed out in those two extra minutes of sleep. So I think I'm gonna go with. 01:24:18 Speaker 6: Curse. 01:24:20 Speaker 3: Curse Okay, yeah, a full self inflicted curse. That's literally what it is. Is like you're cursing yourself the night before by setting the alarm, You're cursing, you're dooming yourself to not allow it to perform its function, and you're robbing yourself of precious moments of rest. 01:24:37 Speaker 4: Okay, first of all, I'll say I think it's a gift. Second, I'd like to say the way this man is looking at this clock, they are Yeah, they are gonna mess it up later. 01:24:49 Speaker 3: I'll say that. 01:24:50 Speaker 9: It's like the movie Her, but it's analog because. 01:24:54 Speaker 3: Those sheets are gonna be covered in gears. 01:24:58 Speaker 14: I do think it's a gift because what you're doing is you're you're winning. 01:25:03 Speaker 10: You're winning in a competition with the clock. 01:25:06 Speaker 14: To beat the clock is to offend the clock. 01:25:08 Speaker 4: Then this is its one function and you're beating it that and the clock is your worst enemy, you know what I mean. 01:25:15 Speaker 10: It destroys your sleep every night. 01:25:17 Speaker 4: So when you get one over on the clock, that's giving gift down the house. 01:25:22 Speaker 1: The house, Vinny wins, it's a gift. 01:25:27 Speaker 4: Wow. 01:25:29 Speaker 1: It's a classic man versus machine And we all have to stay on our toes and if that means waking up before our alarm clock, that's that's a little win against the machines. So you get you win and you to lose completely. 01:25:44 Speaker 9: I can't accept that. 01:25:45 Speaker 1: Okay, wow, okay, Well, let's check in on the puzzle real quick. 01:25:51 Speaker 3: Okay, the same Wow, okay, it is more organized now. 01:25:57 Speaker 7: I've been doing a. 01:25:57 Speaker 10: Puzzle for one hour. 01:25:59 Speaker 1: Okay, let's at us. 01:26:00 Speaker 3: Like, not a ton of movement on completion, but so much better for organization. 01:26:05 Speaker 10: Yeah, my god, Oh, they've hardly touched their cookie. 01:26:07 Speaker 1: I do. It's disappointing to see that. But they're hard workers, and. 01:26:11 Speaker 9: You gave them one cookie to share. 01:26:13 Speaker 1: No, no, the other one's off camera. Lord, I'm gonna go take a closer look, just to make sure. What's to see what's happening? Okay, you two, let's see. Well, if I gave you another two minutes, do you think you could get it done? Okay, well, look it's time for you to to give up. They won the game. Come up here, come up here. Okay, let's say we've got some prizes for them. Where do I Where did I put the prizes? Oh? They're right here. Okay, close your eyes. Okay, follow me. Let's see about you two gods. 01:26:58 Speaker 9: These bags have been through. 01:27:03 Speaker 1: Okay, let's see here. Okay, these bags, these were the biggest winners on the voting. So first of all, let's say, who wants what you have to You worked as a team and now I'm tearing you apart. You want the red okay, this, let's see what's in here? Okay, So I. 01:27:24 Speaker 9: Think that you opened the gift for them too. 01:27:28 Speaker 1: There's a lot of explaining.
