1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: But I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear.

2
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: But you're a guest in my home.

3
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: You gotta come to me empty, And I said, no, guests,

4
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: your own presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff,

5
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: So how did you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gift. I'm Brichard Wineger.

7
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: Here we are. I hope you're doing okay. Uh.

8
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: The thing that's happening for me today as I was

9
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: driving back into the neighborhood and realized I hadn't taken

10
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: the trash out. All of my neighbors have taken the

11
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: trash out. So there's a little bit of envy there.

12
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 3: You're watching my life spin further and further out of control.

13
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: Here's something. If you're trying to find parking right now

14
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 3: and you're having a difficult time, I'm just going to

15
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 3: release you. I'm going to say, stop looking, move to

16
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: another location, do something else with your day today. It's

17
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 3: your day to not have to worry about parking. I'm

18
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: letting you go drive out of the lot and reclaim

19
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: your life. And with that, I think we should get

20
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: into the podcast. I really adore today's guest. I think

21
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: she's so funny. I'm so excited to have her. It's

22
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: Nicole Buyer, Nicole, welcome to I said.

23
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: No gifts.

24
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 4: Hi, Hi, Hi, how are you?

25
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: Oh?

26
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: I'm all over the place the last couple of weeks,

27
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: I have just been here and there, all over the place.

28
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: I was just telling on aalise that my morning just

29
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: halfway through, randomly, I was gardening, and then I was

30
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: forgetting to take the trash out. I cleaned my dishwasher filter.

31
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 2: Oh, the News told me to do it. I did it.

32
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: Was it gross?

33
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: It was a little gross. It was not as gross

34
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 3: as I expected.

35
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: So I pulled mine out a couple weeks ago because

36
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: Instagram told me too, and it didn't seem to need washing.

37
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: I do have a nice lady who does She's my

38
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: cleaning lady comes once a week. I think maybe she

39
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 2: cleans it and that's why it wasn't gross.

40
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 3: I just got the feeling that unless you're like truly

41
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: throwing a full stew into the dishwasher and hitting go,

42
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 3: I don't think that they catch that much stuff.

43
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: I could be wrong, I think so either. I usually

44
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: like scrape and rintse before I put it.

45
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: In, right, I like there's very little food left on

46
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 3: the dishes or in the cups before it's going through

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: the wash. Maybe some people, you know, I don't want

48
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: to judge anyone. Some people might be going full bore

49
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: with just you know, pies, stews whatever on their dishes.

50
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: But for me, I looked in there, it didn't smell.

51
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: No.

52
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 3: Now I'm just bragging, and it had probably been two

53
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 3: years since i'd been cleaned.

54
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: Two years.

55
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 3: Two years.

56
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if you don't know you're supposed to

57
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: clean it, then how are you supposed to know to

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: clean it? So exactly? I think that's okay. You were

59
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: talking about trash earlier. Oh yes, yes, And can I

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: just tell you about my trash time today?

61
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: I would love to hear about your trash time.

62
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: So last night I ordered delivery because I didn't feel

63
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: like cooking anything and I'd cooked like all week, and

64
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: I was like, I deserve to not cook. And then

65
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: I didn't eat it all. But it wasn't like the healthiest,

66
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: so I was like, I'm gonna just throw it away.

67
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: I ate half of it whatever, and I threw it away.

68
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: And I thought I put it in like a like

69
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: not a sealed like. It was in a garbage bag.

70
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: But then I think raccoons got into it because they

71
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: ate through the bag and remnants of the bag were everywhere,

72
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: the food fully gone. And now I'm like, do I

73
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: have to watch my cameras to like see if it

74
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: was a raccoon just like feasting on my leftover Chinese food?

75
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: But they managed no question, no question, that was raccoons.

76
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: I mean, or possums, But I'm my money's on raccoons.

77
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: I feel like I gotta watch it because it's probably

78
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: so cute. It's adorable food little hands.

79
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 3: My aunt had a small dog that lived indoors. They

80
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: would put the food out for it, and the food

81
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: started mysteriously disappearing every night, and after like a week

82
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: of this going on, they thought, oh, why don't we

83
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: check the camera. A raccoon was squeezing through the dog

84
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: door every night and going over and taking the food.

85
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 3: It could have ripped the dog to pieces, but I

86
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: was just there for a dinner.

87
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: That is pretty wild to just be like, there's a

88
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: raccoon in my house. It doesn't go anywhere, It just

89
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: takes food and leaves.

90
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 4: That's wild. Raccoons are wild.

91
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: They're wild with the Also, I love that they kind

92
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: of stick to their thing, like the burglary thing. They're

93
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 3: only working at night. They're taking just what they need,

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: nothing more, nothing, and it almost confronted. They're minding their

95
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: own business.

96
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. I watched a video on Instagram I love

97
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: Instagram where a lady feder raccoon eggs and it ate

98
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: a bowl of eggs and it was the cutest thing

99
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: I've ever seen in my whole life. It was scrambled eggs.

100
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: Oh I was picturing just raw eggs.

101
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: Oh no, No. She cooked up some scrambled eggs for

102
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: this raccoon and he came to the window. She was like,

103
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: you come on, come over here, and then directed him

104
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: to the window sill where she had plays cat food,

105
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: eggs and something else. And it ate some cat food,

106
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: tasted the eggs and it was like, eggs are where

107
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: it's at. And it devoured a bowl of eggs and

108
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 2: I thought it was so fucking cute. See.

109
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: I love a raccoon eating things, but I get nervous

110
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: when they start eating animal products or meat.

111
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: I need a raccoon to be vegan.

112
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I needed to just eat vegetables because the like

113
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 3: the idea that it likes the taste of flesh begins

114
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 3: to scare me a little bit.

115
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do have those little hands a grabby and

116
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: rip you apart.

117
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: Have you noticed this on raccoon Instagram that it feels

118
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: like an enormous amount of raccoon pets are happening in

119
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: Eastern Europe?

120
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 4: Have you noticed, though I haven't seen that.

121
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what's driving it.

122
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: Like Eastern Europe Russia, I feel like that's where a

123
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 3: large part of these kind of exotic pets are happening.

124
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: I like that you're calling a raccoon an exotic pet.

125
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: It's in the same category as a tiger, a lion.

126
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 4: A mere cat, a raccoon.

127
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: It is a weird category because it's not quite a

128
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: cat or dog. But it isn't a giraffe. It's not

129
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: an exciting Yeah, what do when you turn it into

130
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: a pet? I guess it's a It's just something it

131
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: probably shouldn't be in your home.

132
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they're meant to be in your house.

133
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 2: I just love their little hands speaking up stuff, bringing.

134
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: Me things like have you seen the video of the

135
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: beaver pet? Somebody has a beaver and it like it

136
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: takes things. It's like running around the house grabbing things

137
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: to create a dam.

138
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: Yes, and it's so cute, but also like take it home.

139
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: It wants to go home. It's making a dam in

140
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: your house. This animal wants to be back where it belongs.

141
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: It is screaming to be at a lake or some

142
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: body of water, and their house must be destroyed. Those

143
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 3: things chew non stop. Yes, and you don't train it.

144
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: And I don't know how you would. It doesn't stop

145
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: making dams all over the house. I was looking into

146
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: getting a pet duck because I love ducks. But ducks

147
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: just shit everywhere. They just walk around shitting everywhere.

148
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: What When I was a kid, we had ducks, and

149
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: that's exactly the experience. It's kind of cute. It gets

150
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: bigger and bigger very quickly, and then it's just non

151
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: stop shit all over your yard.

152
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: Duck shit everywhere. I can't do that.

153
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 4: I don't really have a yard, you know, so just be.

154
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: No. And then I'm like, do I put a.

155
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: Diaper on a duck? I don't like a duck will

156
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: like a diaper.

157
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: The duck will get mad at me and be like

158
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: put me back outside.

159
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: I would actually support a duck in a diaper. I

160
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: think that's a very cute visual. It is any pets

161
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: I do.

162
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: I have a dog named Clyde who's sleeping. You can't

163
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: really see him. Kin see Clyde. Oh he's very fox.

164
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, he looks like a little fox.

165
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: He's part Pomeranian, part Schihuahua, part dox in and then terrier. Maybe.

166
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 2: I don't know. I had one of those little doggy

167
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: DNA tests and he is. He's so fucking cute, and

168
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: he's really smart. And he's got stinky breath? Does he?

169
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: I don't see any doxon in him?

170
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: Is he long?

171
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 3: I can't quite tell?

172
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 2: Oh? Wait, no, sorry, mini pincher not.

173
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, I was thinking that's a very short

174
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: docs and we're looking at yeah.

175
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I got it. I got it wrong.

176
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: Fucked Well. How have you been in general? What's been

177
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: going on? How have I been in general? Pretty good?

178
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 4: Can't complain.

179
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: I feel overwhelmed sometimes, but that's okay.

180
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, life is good. How are you?

181
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: I'm good?

182
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: I'm just realizing asking you this. I was remembering the

183
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: period during the pandemic when you ask someone how they're doing,

184
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: they'd say, oh, well, everything else aside or there's always

185
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: this qualifier that was so annoying.

186
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: It's like, yes, I don't need that remindal going through it.

187
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 3: I'm so glad that's we've left that little bit of

188
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: it behind.

189
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: I think.

190
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: I but I'm fine. I you know, I'm floating around life.

191
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: I've been complaining on this podcast NonStop about my back

192
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: office flooding.

193
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm so sorry.

194
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: God bless God, bless us all. Yeah, it flooded.

195
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 4: The flood well.

196
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: Last year, it flooded in a horrible way. This year

197
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: we were kind of on top of it. Look, I mean,

198
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: I've made so many mistakes. Last year, we agreed to

199
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: have the person told us, let us just waterproof the house.

200
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: That'll fix it. It didn't fix it at all. So

201
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: this time we were in the back. I was wet,

202
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 3: backing NonStop for days. It's now dry. We're trying to

203
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: look for a solution. I have had a parade, a

204
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 3: parade of straight men come through this home to try

205
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: to diagnose the problem. They've all failed.

206
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: It's a back house in back of your like in

207
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 2: the back of your house.

208
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: It's an attached back house.

209
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: Yes, and it attached back house.

210
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 3: If that makes any sense at all. It's like a

211
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: separate unit.

212
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: Doesn't so, Okay, it's on the same lot, but it's

213
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: not attached to the main house. But it is.

214
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 4: Okay, I think I get it.

215
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: It's like, basically, if we wanted to rent it as

216
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: an apartment, the person could live there individually, but they

217
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: would still be connected to our house.

218
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: If that makes sense. Okay, I do believe that makes sense.

219
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: You had a new roof put on it.

220
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: No, the roof was new when we bought it.

221
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: Then where's the leak coming from?

222
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: That's anyone's guess at this point. I mean you you

223
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: could diagnose it from here and it would be just

224
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: as valuable as everybody else that's looked at.

225
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: It could be the ground, Okay, I'll ask another question.

226
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: Was this permitted?

227
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great question, because.

228
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: If it was permitted, that means that the plans were

229
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: submitted to the city, so you could get the plans

230
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: and look at the plans, oh and understand the architecture

231
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: and what was done. Right. If this was unpermitted, it

232
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: literally could be anything. It could be your foundation, It

233
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: could be the way they put up the dry wall.

234
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 2: It could be your roof. They could have said, it's

235
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: a new roof, but the room could have been done incorrectly,

236
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: meaning you need a new roof.

237
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 4: Does it have Spanish tiles or anything?

238
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 3: Just around the edge, so it's not the The rest

239
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: of the roof is roof tiles?

240
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: Okay? Yes?

241
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 4: So is there any vegetation on the roof?

242
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: No? Okay, So that sounds so maybe it's not your roof.

243
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: It might be the foundation is wrong. If it's the

244
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: foundation and it's.

245
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 4: Seeping in through the ground, are the walls wet?

246
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: Sort of?

247
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: That's now that's the real mystery. I've bought my moisture meter.

248
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: I'm all over the place. There are some parts that

249
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: are like above the foundation that are wet, but it's

250
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: also there's like a kind of a middle ground that's

251
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: not wet.

252
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: Is it wet at at the ceiling a little bit?

253
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: So that's where we're thinking, well, maybe it is the roof,

254
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 3: but we tarped the entire roof.

255
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: If it's wetter at the ground, it is your foundation.

256
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: What do I do If it's the foundation? Do I

257
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: just move back home?

258
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: You have to move back home. You you can't salvage,

259
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: you have to get out. Just call it. I think

260
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: is you're going to have to rip out the floor

261
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 2: because the water is coming up through your sub floor.

262
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: I believe this is me truly with like I've never

263
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: seen it your.

264
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 3: Level of expertise here. By not hitting you could be

265
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: charging a large amount of money and Los Angeles would

266
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 3: pay you well.

267
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: I because I had a week in my office and

268
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 2: it ended up being the roof because there was vegetation

269
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: on the roof displacing the tiles, coming through the tiles.

270
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: There was no water at the at the like at

271
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: the floor. It was the only like wetness at the

272
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: floor was from where like it dripped heavily. So if

273
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: you're very wet at the floor, it means water's coming up,

274
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 2: and it means that maybe there isn't enough room between

275
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: the foundation and your sub floor and then your flooring.

276
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: So or they maybe did it unpermitted because the ground

277
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: wasn't good. I don't know.

278
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 4: I don't I'm not sure.

279
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: But if it was permitted, you can get the plans

280
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: from this that I do.

281
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: Now I am sweating. This has just opened up a

282
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: whole new realm of fear for me.

283
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: No nobody has said this to you. Now you can

284
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: get plans from the city.

285
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 3: No, that certainly has not been a part of any

286
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 3: of these conversations so far.

287
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: That's insane, because that's what when you permit something. You

288
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: get the permit because you to submit plans, and then

289
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: the city goes these plans work with our uh what

290
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: is it code? These are up to code. You can

291
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: go ahead, we approve this, and then you could go

292
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: ahead and do it. This is nuts that nobody's nobody,

293
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: but it might not be as expensive as you're thinking

294
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: it's gonna be.

295
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 3: I mean, pray for me. I'll pray everyone quietly pray

296
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: for me until this is fixed. That's all I ask.

297
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 3: Is just a non stop, quiet prayer for Bridger. That's uh.

298
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: I mean, do you know what's interesting, Nicole is this

299
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 3: is the first time we've met. But when I was

300
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: getting this house, our mutual friend Langan yes, was texting

301
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: with you, and you were advising me on this. So

302
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: you actually are kind of to blame for this entire situation.

303
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: You got me into this home with a problem.

304
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. Well, that's the interesting thing about unpermitted

305
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: square footage. So like I knew my back house wasn't permitted,

306
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 2: so I knew that when I was doing things to

307
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: it that like, if I opened up things, I'd find

308
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: other things wrong with it. But luckily my sub floor

309
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: they raised it a little bit, so there is no flooding,

310
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: which is great, but it's too close to the back

311
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: wall of the house behind me, so there is a

312
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: little bit of a drainage problem. So then we had

313
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: to add a drain It's a whole thing. Owning a

314
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: home is very similar to my situation. It does. I

315
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: think that's why I know a little bit. I just

316
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: become your contractor. I was like, all right, guys, we'll

317
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: open it up. Let's fucking do it.

318
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: I trust you more than I'm not kidding. Everyone that

319
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: I've spoken to I feel like is a call. I mean,

320
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: I think that when it rains it hard in Los Angeles,

321
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: these people just pop up and start giving advice, and

322
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: none of them are any good.

323
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: It's no there are a lot of And it might

324
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: also be the drainage pipes, because god, I can't remember.

325
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: I think it's copper pipes were used a long time ago.

326
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: Those aren't up to cote anymore. Copper pipes rust over,

327
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: cracks happen, and then leaks happen. So if they're not

328
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: talking about a drainage pipe as well, that's you're not

329
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: talking to the right people.

330
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. I will say there is no city on

331
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: the planet with less foresight than Los Angeles. The amount

332
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: of things that could have been fixed a long time ago.

333
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 4: The thing here is built for rain or anything.

334
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: So many obvious problems that just continue to be ignored

335
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 3: and just like, oh, we'll fix that at some point,

336
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: and then it just gets bigger. The problems get bigger

337
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: and bigger. I mean, bless the city. There are so

338
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,119
Speaker 3: many wonderful things. But it could be Utopia.

339
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: It could be It's just it's not. I can't believe

340
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 2: I've said. I am not a licensed contractor. I've never

341
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: really worked on a house. I watch a lot of

342
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 2: HG television and I did, like I when my contractor

343
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: tells me things, I then go and research it to

344
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: make sure that he is not overbidding me or telling

345
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: me something I don't need or whatever. And there's like

346
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: a YouTube channel of this man I can't remember, but

347
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 2: he'll like tell you things that he's like I think

348
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: he didn't have children or he wanted children. I don't know,

349
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: but he'll like give you advice, like advice that a

350
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: dad would give a kid, and then he does things

351
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: like here's how you fix a sink, you don't have

352
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: to call a plumber. Here's how you change a tire,

353
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: you don't have to call somebody. I wish I could

354
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: remember who he is, but he also has some like

355
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 2: hot housing tips that I've watched.

356
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 3: I need to know who that is because I could

357
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: use almost all advice at this point. Yeah, that's and

358
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 3: you like you really are. You're speaking like an expert.

359
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: It's amazing.

360
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 2: I mean, take it the grain of salt. But I

361
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: do believe if the roof isn't wet and there's no

362
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: moisture and there's no mold up there, I really think

363
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: it's coming from the ground, Okay, And I think it

364
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: might be un permit, I really do. And I think

365
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: that I don't know that the drainage underneath is incorrect

366
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: or whatever.

367
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: You've got to set me up with your contractor.

368
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: I will give you his information. I really do like him.

369
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 4: He's very very nice.

370
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: Okay, listener, I know you've loved this. Once I get

371
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 3: a hold of this contract, I'm willing to recommend him

372
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 3: to you. This is kind of the Contracting Podcast. At

373
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: this point, we're all going to get our homes fixed.

374
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 3: We all deserve to fix it.

375
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question because I also watch

376
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: a lot of like home renovation stuff on Instagram.

377
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: Do you like that stuff? Are you an h TV person?

378
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: Okay? Do you like restored things or do you like

379
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: ripping it out and starting anew?

380
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: I like a restored I like to see, Okay, what

381
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 3: can be done with what currently exists? What it feels

382
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 3: more like a creative project. You're into that as well.

383
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: I cannot stand modern architecture.

384
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 4: I think it's very homogeneous.

385
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: That's when everything is the same, right, yes, yes, it

386
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 2: all looks so similar. And I subway tile is now

387
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: builder grade, so stop putting it in your homes. H

388
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 2: do do anything special? Have a personality? I just I

389
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 2: don't get it. And then the big Spanish tiles, they're

390
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: just like blue and white or black and white. Why

391
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: are we doing that?

392
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: There's actual beautiful.

393
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: Spanish tile that you can get that's colorful, and I

394
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 2: just I'm so I get so sad when people renovate

395
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: homes and it's just like white and gray or.

396
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: Well it's because of chip and Joanna Gaines they should

397
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 3: go straight to jail.

398
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 2: Ship lap is terrible. The barn door is awful. Straight

399
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: to jail, send them away.

400
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 3: Painting brick why, let me ask you this is and

401
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: I think we're kind of putting this in our past

402
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: architecturally at this point. But the shower without any door,

403
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,239
Speaker 3: what are you doing on that?

404
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 2: Now?

405
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 4: Let me close myself in.

406
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 2: I don't want water everywhere, and even if it doesn't

407
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: go everywhere, I don't feel safe.

408
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 3: I need to feel safe in my shower. I'm naked

409
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: and wet.

410
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 4: Yes, oh my god.

411
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: And I am obsessed with art deco bathrooms, like those colorful,

412
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 2: very very La art deco bathrooms. And I found an

413
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 2: Instagram account where they just post them and they're just

414
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: so beautiful. And whenever I see someone renovating one, I'm.

415
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 4: Like, why, why, why are you really? It's pretty?

416
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 3: That happens a lot in La And they just paint

417
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 3: a white and then put in that gray fake wood

418
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: and it looks like a vape shop.

419
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: Yes, I hate that gray wood, that fucking gray lamb

420
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 2: in it. It makes me so angry.

421
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 3: Oh oh, we all deserve than that. The yes, the

422
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 3: industry is just forcing it on us. The building industry

423
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 3: is saying this is what you get.

424
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: And I think we can understand why I love wallpaper.

425
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: I love color.

426
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: I mean, my aesthetic is very different than other people.

427
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 2: My aesthetic is like very nauseating.

428
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 4: I love.

429
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: Colors and patterns and all that shit.

430
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: I feel like, why not if you have a choice

431
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 3: between nothing and something fun, why wouldn't you do this

432
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 3: fun thing? I mean, you've got a very fun pattern

433
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 3: behind you.

434
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: Like I put up this peel and stick wallpaper myself.

435
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 2: You did that yourself.

436
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 4: It took sixteen hours and hour five.

437
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: I was like, I could have hired someone to do this,

438
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 2: but I did it. So every time I look at it,

439
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: I'm very happy because I'm like, I did it, and

440
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: I put up wallpaper on the other side.

441
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 4: That's oh, it's so poorly done.

442
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: I gave up.

443
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 4: I had to go around the TV that's mounted to.

444
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: The wall and hid the TV in a little wild

445
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 2: and then there's a credenza there that I couldn't move,

446
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: so there's no wallpaper at the bottom.

447
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 4: But I was like, I don't care. I like how

448
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 4: it looks.

449
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 3: By I really admire that. My sister just this morning

450
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,239
Speaker 3: sent me a picture of a wall she painted this

451
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 3: woman is seven months pregnant painted a wall. Wow, I

452
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 3: can't hang a picture? What is wrong with me? I mean,

453
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: this is something I've got to get into in therapy.

454
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: This is something I have to work on my fear

455
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 3: of doing things. I'm incapable.

456
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: You're not incapable. It's just hard and I will do

457
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: things myself and then I'll go I did a bad job.

458
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 2: Like I hung some paintings over here and they're spaced

459
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 2: so poorly. Again, I could have paid someone to space

460
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: them nicely. But they're up and I'm happy and it

461
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: doesn't actually matter. Maybe you're a perfectionists and you have

462
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: to get over that.

463
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that might be the problem. Do you

464
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: have a stud finder when you hang your pictures or

465
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 3: you just randomly puncturing holes in the wall.

466
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 2: I'm just putting holes in my wall. I support that.

467
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: That's kind of my method.

468
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 3: I just hope that it's not too heavy.

469
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, wish for the best. And it's a picture.

470
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: I don't think you need a studfinder for a picture.

471
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: Maybe like a curtain.

472
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 3: Or yeah, like a giant oil page.

473
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 2: Curtain rods myself. Wow, it didn't go well. It was

474
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: very hard and there's still a hole in the wall

475
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 2: from where I started.

476
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 3: Well, from where I'm sitting, you're in a beautifully decorated room,

477
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: and that's all that matters. Thang, Nicole, there's something else

478
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 3: I have to talk to you about. Yes, I was

479
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 3: obviously so excited to have you on the podcast. I

480
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: just think you're wonderful and I thought, Nicole will come on,

481
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 3: we'll chat for a while. I mean, I didn't anticipate

482
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 3: getting so much great advice, but that was just a bonus.

483
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 3: The listener got that for free as well. They didn't

484
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: even have to work for it. I'm working here, they're

485
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 3: just sitting there. They're circling a lot looking for parking.

486
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: Or what have you.

487
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: But you know, I was excited up until a point

488
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 3: this morning, around ten am, there's a knock at the door. Oh,

489
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 3: I've just thrown on an outfit. I'm ready for the day,

490
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 3: but my hair's still wet. Go to the door and

491
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 3: there's someone standing there holding a package.

492
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: Oh.

493
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a small it's probably about nine by six inches.

494
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 3: It's in kind of a beautiful plaid wrap.

495
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 4: Lindsay wrapped it, my wonderful assistant.

496
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 2: She was so friendly. I mean, she's really not.

497
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 3: After our fight, I should say that in a fight,

498
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 3: you might want to just keep an eye on Lindsay

499
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 3: as an assistant. Okay, okay, But now I've got this package,

500
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: and I tried. I finally was able to put two

501
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 3: and two together. I thought Nichol's gonna be on the podcast.

502
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 3: This Lindsay person was obviously sent to do her dirty work.

503
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 2: Gift for me? It is.

504
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 4: It is a gift for you.

505
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: Okay, Well that's fine, that's absolutely fine. I have no

506
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: problem with it. The podcast is called I said, no gifts,

507
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: not a big deal. I mean, it's now in my

508
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: home and Lindsay's not out nowhere to be seen. I

509
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 3: can't send it back.

510
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 2: No, you can't.

511
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 4: So sorry, Should I open it here on the show?

512
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: I would love for you to open it?

513
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 3: Okay, Well let's get into it here. I'm gonna put

514
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 3: the mic down and open it. Oh, this is a

515
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 3: very handy thing to have on head. Cough drops eglah,

516
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: cough drops.

517
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: Uh huh. Listen, you might get COVID, you might get

518
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 2: a different cough And I figured, I'm always like, fuck,

519
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: I wish.

520
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 4: I had cough drops, So I got you cough drops.

521
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: You never have cough drops when you need them exactly

522
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 3: one of these things that you've got to have around

523
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 3: for when the cough strikes. And yeah, I feel like

524
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 3: the last time I bought cough drops was probably pre

525
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 3: pandemic and those have got to be thrown away at

526
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 3: this point. I don't even know where they are. They're

527
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: they're rustling around in some drawer right right. But to

528
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 3: have a few of these at the bottom of your bag,

529
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 3: what a blessing. Yes, these are the original herb flavor.

530
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: I've never had this flavor of you I.

531
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: Have, and I do like them the best because they're

532
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: not super sweet.

533
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 4: They're just there to do the job.

534
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying? Like lootens, that's candy.

535
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: That's candy to lubricate your throat. Hauls a little too

536
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 2: intense sometimes with the fucking eucalyptus coming through.

537
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 4: But Ricola recola just wants you to stop coughing and

538
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: a nice time.

539
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: What I wonder what herbs they're using? Alpine Swiss alpine herbs.

540
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: What does that even mean?

541
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: Is it like an herby?

542
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 3: Are we talking oregano?

543
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 4: Uh?

544
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: Let's see here, herb mixture elder whorehound. I've never heard

545
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 3: of any of these things. Hiss up, lemon ball, Linden Flowers,

546
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 3: mallow mallow, that's a well, it's mallow, peppermint, sagetime wild time.

547
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 3: This sounds like a real savory cough drop.

548
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 4: It's not super savory, but it's not sweet.

549
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: Okay, it's how do I explain it? I mean it

550
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: is RBI. This is I'm I'm literally just using the

551
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: descriptors that they have on the fucking bag. I don't.

552
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 4: I think it just feels comfortable and like home.

553
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: I love it.

554
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 3: I mean it is candy. I love a cherry cough drop.

555
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: Do they make a lemon cough drop?

556
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: I think a lemon I can do. Lemon's nice. Just

557
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: those halls too much, I do like.

558
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: Is it menthol they put in some of these that

559
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 3: is truly just burning through the back of your throat. Yes,

560
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: there's a little bit of masochism there that I enjoy.

561
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: It's just like the true just burn that you're dealing with.

562
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 3: It's not spicy, It's like it feels like you're cleaning

563
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: a toilet or something.

564
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 2: It's like it's like a Menthol cigarette. I did used

565
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 2: to smoke those. Those are my favorite but I have

566
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: since quit. When did you quit? Sucks?

567
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 4: Okay, So I.

568
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: Quit January third last year, started again last September, and

569
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: then quit again January fifth this year of this year.

570
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 3: Yes, how this is an exciting development for you.

571
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: Yes, although I do miss them, hence me bringing them up.

572
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: Nicole is lighting up right now.

573
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: I miss them so fucking much, Oh I do.

574
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: They're fabulous, but they're not good for you.

575
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: How long had you been smoking for?

576
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: I had been smoking for a solid like twenty.

577
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: Years, Nicole, I'm sorry now started smoked for twenty years.

578
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 3: I mean that's another point of pride. I suppose two

579
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: decades of doing anything, you know.

580
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 2: I was really committed to this.

581
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 4: I was like, this is ill.

582
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: I am.

583
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: Who introduced you to cigarettes.

584
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: One of my friends in middle school, her mother smoked,

585
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: and she smoked Marboro lights, and she had them in

586
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 2: the cabinet with the booze, and she would put rubber

587
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: bands on the cabinet and then we were like, oh,

588
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: we could just take the rubber bands off and we

589
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 2: would like steal her booze and steal her cigarettes. Then

590
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: I had another friend who smoked Marble reds, and I

591
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 2: would smoke those with her, and then I had another

592
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: friend who smoked marble menthol lights and I was like, ooh,

593
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: this is what I like. I went through a phase

594
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: where I smoked Virginia slims. I smoked capries just like

595
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,479
Speaker 2: long skinny ones I do.

596
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't smoke, but if I were to smoke,

597
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 3: I would need it to be at least like nine

598
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: inches long. The cigarette's gotta be huge, it's gotta be

599
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 3: very Yes, when you smoke your first cigarette, was it

600
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: like a peer pressure situation or it was like I'm

601
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 3: ready to light up?

602
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: Oh?

603
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 4: I was ready to light up.

604
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: I was one of those girls that was like, oh,

605
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm I'll do almost anything to be considered cool. I'll

606
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 2: try anything once. But I didn't know that you had

607
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: to like inhale. And then I didn't know you had

608
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: to learn how to inhale. So then I took it

609
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: upon myself. I was like, I'm gonna learn. I'm not

610
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: gonna be embarrassed again. So I practice. You have to

611
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: like learn how to smoke, and then you get addicted

612
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: to it.

613
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: And this was pre YouTube. There weren't tutorials on YouTube.

614
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: Smoke, nary a video to watch. I had to learn

615
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 2: all on my own in my garage. How long did

616
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: it take you to learn? Probably like two weeks and

617
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: then I was like, okay, I know how to fucking

618
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 2: do this now. And then you know, you blow it

619
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 2: out of your nose and you could do Little O's. Well,

620
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: you are a real true blue smoker.

621
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I worked really hard at it. What were you

622
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 5: kind of a rebellious team m yes, yes, very much.

623
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 5: Did it manifest itself in other ways other than smoking cigarettes?

624
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: I smoked a ton of weed in high school. I

625
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 2: would drink with friends on the weekends. I liked staying

626
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: out late. I mean, just like typical things. I would

627
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 2: forge or like not forge. I would make my own

628
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: permission slips and I would tell my dad. I was like, oh,

629
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: I don't go to school today. We're going to the

630
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: city to see cabaret. Can you sign this permission slip

631
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 2: and give me cash? And he'd be like okay, And

632
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: then we would skip school, go to the city and

633
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: literally see matinees. So, I mean, like, I wasn't doing

634
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: dangerous stuff, just real fucking nerd shit.

635
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 3: You were living it up.

636
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: It was like You're on vacation, living my best life.

637
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 3: But then you smoked for twenty years. Yes, and you've

638
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: just so your experience with quitting smoking. Is it painful?

639
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 3: Does it make you nauseous? Or is it just like

640
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 3: a little like nagging feeling every day?

641
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: It is a nagging feeling. So when I first tried

642
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: to quit, like two or three or four years ago,

643
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: I read half of this book The Easy Way to

644
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 2: Quit by Alan Carr, and I got to like almost

645
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: the last chapter and I was like, wait, this really,

646
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: I really feel like I want to quit. So I

647
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: stopped reading it because I felt like I wanted to quit,

648
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: so that I read it again and then I was like, oh,

649
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: I'm ready. And then you know, some days I'd be like, oh,

650
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: I want one, but then I'd be like whatever, and

651
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: then made it nine months without smoking. Started again. But

652
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: then every time I smoked a cigarette, I was like,

653
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: I don't like this. Oh it's not good. They taste bad,

654
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: like if you really break them down, they're very bad.

655
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: So then I was like, why did you start again?

656
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: Let's just quit again. So then I didn't have to

657
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: reread the book. I quit again. Sometimes before bed, I go, hm,

658
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 2: but what if? And then I'm like put on my eyemask,

659
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: take my very mild tranquilizer and go right to sleep.

660
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 3: Do you feel like any habit has kind of taken

661
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 3: the place of smoking.

662
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: No. I try to, like take my dog for longer walks,

663
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: but then he gets tired and I get tired. I

664
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: have no idea what would replace it, because it's not

665
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 2: even like a hand mouth thing. It's not like I

666
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: need something in my mouth. Although I'm doing this right

667
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 2: now and it feels really good. I'm putting it down

668
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: with my two fingers to my mouth.

669
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 4: It feels really great.

670
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 2: I miss it. Yeah, I haven't replaced it with anything, though.

671
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 3: Okay, well, maybe you'll find something. I feel like finding

672
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: something will maybe like really be a firewall against starting again.

673
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 3: I'm really concerned for you. I don't want you to

674
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 3: start again.

675
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: Thank you. Neither do any of my doctors.

676
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 3: Have you ever smoked in a casino? I feel like

677
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 3: if I was going to smoke, it would be in

678
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 3: a casino.

679
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 2: Yes, and it's glorious. I love smoking inside. I love

680
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 2: it like I'm from Jersey, and it took Jersey a

681
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: very long time to ban smoking. Indoors and smoking sections

682
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 2: are so funny because the whole restaurant smells like smoke,

683
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: but like you just smoke in a diner. Oh, I

684
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 2: love it. There's nothing like it.

685
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 3: When did Jerseys stop the smoking sections?

686
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 2: I feel like in the early two thousands, oh, by

687
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 2: like late nineties. It felt like it was a long

688
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 2: time because I feel like in face school you could smoke.

689
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 2: I might be wrong. Someone's probably listening being like circling

690
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 2: around looking for parking going. No, I know that year.

691
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 2: It was nineteen eighty sixty seven. I'm pretty sure it

692
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: was the nineties. Wow, very late to me. I have like.

693
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 3: Foggy memories of smoking sections. I think Utah probably banned

694
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 3: them in ninety five or something.

695
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 2: You're from Utah, I'm from Utah from I was just

696
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: in Utah for what Sundance?

697
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 3: Oh, at Sundance.

698
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: I was at Sundance for one day, and I did

699
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: not know how cold it was in Utah. Also, I

700
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: thought Utah was by Seattle.

701
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 4: It's not.

702
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 3: I mean it's close to Seattle than New York.

703
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I thought it was definitely north of California. Instead,

704
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 2: it's like east. It's like the real lateral move from La.

705
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it.

706
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 3: That makes me feel so much better about my geographical

707
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 3: knowledge of the United States because the East Coast. I'm like,

708
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 3: it could be anything. I really don't know where states

709
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 3: are beyond Colorado. It's just like it's just a big

710
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 3: blur for me. I can kind of tell you where

711
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: things are. But now that you don't, that you've just

712
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 3: learned you ties not next door to Seattle. I feel incredible.

713
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 3: I feel like we're one and the same. We were

714
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 3: in Park City.

715
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 4: Rocked my world.

716
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: I was in Park City and nobody else was interested

717
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 2: in Zillow listings. I was like, this is a cute,

718
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 2: picturesque place. I need to find out how much people

719
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 2: pay to live here. I found an adorable two bedroom,

720
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 2: two bathroom historical home. I think it was a church

721
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: that was turned into a home. It was for one

722
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: point three million dollars a two bedroom, two bathroom. I

723
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: couldn't believe it.

724
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 4: But it was right off Main Street. Then I found

725
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 4: a condo.

726
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 2: For nine million dollars.

727
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 4: Do you want me to share a wall? For nine

728
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 4: million dollars?

729
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: How big?

730
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 4: You lost your mind?

731
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 2: I think it was like three thousand square feet or

732
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 2: four thousand square feet, so like a pretty big condo.

733
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: I think it was like the whole top floor. But

734
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 2: I just couldn't fathom.

735
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 3: Truly, unless you're in New York or Tokyo, you were

736
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 3: not paying nine million dollars for a condo. What are

737
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 3: we talking about here?

738
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 2: I don't know. Blew my mind. But again, right off

739
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 2: Main Street.

740
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 3: You've got easy access to shopping restaurants Sunday that's.

741
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 2: When it happens once a year. But boy, oh boys,

742
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 2: Park City pretty.

743
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 3: It's beautiful, isn't it. It's really a pleasant place to be.

744
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 3: What were you What did you do while you were there?

745
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 4: I had directed a short that was shown.

746
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: Oh so that was nice and that was fun. I

747
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 2: was only there literally for twenty four hours, because I

748
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 2: was doing a weekend of shows in Irvine Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

749
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: Flew in Sunday, left Monday, real whirl wind.

750
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 3: Did you get any They give away so much great

751
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 3: free stuff at Sundance. Did you get anything for free?

752
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 2: No? I didn't get anything, Nicole.

753
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 3: You've wasted, absolutely wasted your trip to Sunday.

754
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: I know. I just I didn't get a chance to

755
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 2: like go get the free stuff.

756
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 3: Oh my heart, you could have walked away with so

757
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 3: many beautiful items. They want people to take their luxury items.

758
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 3: It's incredible.

759
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 4: I feel so foolish. I didn't realize I could get

760
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 4: all the free stuff. I love free stuff.

761
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: Well that's a little tip for next time. Did you

762
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 3: see any exciting celebrities or anything, No.

763
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 2: I possible, I did. I flew in, I had an

764
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: hour to do my hair and makeup, and then I

765
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: had to go do press, and then we did the screening,

766
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 2: and then we did more press, and then I had

767
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: to go to a dinner and then I promptly passed out.

768
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 2: Because the show on Saturday, I didn't get home till

769
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 2: two am, and then had to get picked up for

770
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: my flight at five. So I was like scared if

771
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 2: I fell asleep between two and five, I would just

772
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: miss getting picked up and miss the flight. So then

773
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: I slept on the flight for two hours, and I

774
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 2: was just not okay. People kept asking me questions. I'd

775
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 2: be like, I don't know one of these words. Well,

776
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

777
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 3: Well was the short well received?

778
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 4: It went over pretty well.

779
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 2: I think the people they laughed at the things I

780
00:38:58,480 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: wanted them to laugh at.

781
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 3: So that was, oh fantastic. Is this the first short

782
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 3: you've directed?

783
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: Technically? Yes, I've done stuff through like UCB where like

784
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: it was a collaborative effort, but this is the first

785
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 2: time I was just like action, cut, do it this way,

786
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 2: and nobody else had to say, you.

787
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 3: Know, did you have a good time doing it?

788
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: I did. I realized I really do like directing and

789
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: like figuring out a performance. A lot of the meticulous

790
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 2: stuff like what shoes should she wear? I'm like, I

791
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 2: don't know, whatever covers her feet and she's comfortable, you

792
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like I unless I say something specific,

793
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't really care. Let's just do it.

794
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 2: Let's go.

795
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 3: You're just there for the performance more or less.

796
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the.

797
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: Usually it's a complete mess.

798
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything else is messing the sound, can't hear a thing,

799
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 2: but we have those performances.

800
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 3: Well, I hope that you get to go. I'm sure

801
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 3: you'll be back to Sundance at some point, and hopefully

802
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 3: for an extended period of time. I mean, I've never

803
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 3: been there officially, and I've had a better experience at

804
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 3: Sundance than you. I've seen celebrities, I've gotten free items.

805
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 2: Who is the biggest celebrity you've.

806
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 3: Seen, let's see, I mean probably Jennifer Aniston. I feel like,

807
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 3: okay there now, I mean, I'm talking this big game

808
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 3: and I have one person to name that it's kind

809
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 3: of I mean, let's just say there is just a

810
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 3: There are so many big celebrities. I can't even remember

811
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 3: just celebrity after celebrity.

812
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 2: I did see.

813
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 3: I believe it was Reba McIntyre's assistant screaming at someone

814
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 3: on the phone about having to clean a walk in fridge.

815
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 2: So that was more.

816
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 3: That's better than a celebrity siding for me.

817
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: I love it. I love that Riba has a walk

818
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 2: in fridge near her, like, that's like, what for what? Reba?

819
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 3: And I think the walk in fridge was in Park City,

820
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 3: so she was probably it's probably not even her home.

821
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 3: She renting a place that has a walk in fridge.

822
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 2: And running across and then get chilled.

823
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 3: Have you ever worked any food business?

824
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I was a hostess at a restaurant that has

825
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 2: now gone. It was in Union Square called Chat and Chew,

826
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 2: And then I was a server at a place that

827
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 2: has also gone called Pernima.

828
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 3: Did you ever have access to the walk and fridge?

829
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 2: I would never go into the walk in fridge because

830
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 2: they were fucking nasty, really New York restaurants are fucking gross.

831
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 2: What are just like? What is that? The one in

832
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: the Indian restaurant that I worked at, It was like

833
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 2: an Indian restaurant slash Irish bar slash cabaret room.

834
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 4: It was the wildest place.

835
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: Perfect combination ever been. But there was like roaches and

836
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 2: shit and rats. It was gross.

837
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 3: Oh no, I don't like to hear that. All of

838
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 3: my walk in fridge experience at work has been pristine.

839
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 3: It's just this lovely little cave. You get to go inside,

840
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 3: and you're hot from work, so you you really take

841
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 3: your time in there. There is the worry that it's

842
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 3: gonna get sealed and you're gonna be trapped in there,

843
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 3: which must have happened to somebody at some point.

844
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 2: Thirty degrees right, that's that's what isn't that? Yeah? Probably

845
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 2: reason refrigerator you're not gonna do.

846
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 3: Actually, no, it can't. That would be below freezing and

847
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 3: all of your food would freeze. What is the temperature

848
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 3: of a refrigerator? Forty A freezer must be below Oh on,

849
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 3: alease's forty one.

850
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: You're on it. Forty one.

851
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 3: Forty one is the temperature you want for a fridge so, yeah,

852
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 3: you're not.

853
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 2: Going to freeze to death in a refrigerator. It'll just

854
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 2: be a little chilly.

855
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 3: And I guess you're not gonna starve to death either. No,

856
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 3: it actually might be a perfect scenario.

857
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, just drink the shit in there, eat some stuff whatever,

858
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 2: you know, some fruits, vegetables. You'll probably like be healthy

859
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 2: by the time you get removed.

860
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 3: It's a little vacation to like a wellness center essentially,

861
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 3: what it is. Your skin probably looks beautiful coming out, right. Oh, well,

862
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 3: we love a walk in fridge. I've got my cough

863
00:42:58,719 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 3: drops here.

864
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 2: Have you had COVID? Oh I've had it, I think

865
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: three times officially too. Okay, okay, I think I got

866
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 2: it the end of twenty nineteen. I'm one of those people.

867
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 2: I'm it was like, I think I had it. Of

868
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 2: all everybody, I'm the coolest.

869
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 4: But yeah, I was in Portland.

870
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 2: I was doing shows and I thought I was tired

871
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 2: from doing shows, but I also had this horrific cough

872
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 2: that like would keep me up at night.

873
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 4: My chest hurt.

874
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 2: And then I gave it to my friend and when

875
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 2: I left, she was like, whatever the fuck you had

876
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: was brutal, and I was like sorry about it, and

877
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 2: then COVID came around. I was like, oh shit, I

878
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,959
Speaker 2: think I had COVID, and then I got it May

879
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 2: of last year because I went to upfronts and then

880
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,720
Speaker 2: I got it in December, and I don't know how.

881
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 4: I was being careful.

882
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 2: One was a mystery. Mm hmm.

883
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like we're all, yeah, we're just now

884
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 3: getting it from all over the place, so there's there

885
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 3: won't be any pinning it down at this point. No,

886
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 3: I mean, if you had a similar look, I'm not

887
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 3: trying to I guess this isn't one uping, but it's

888
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 3: kind of a mirror of your experience. Early twenty twenty,

889
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 3: I go to Omaha to see my boyfriend. I come back,

890
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 3: I have horrible cough, the fever of a lifetime, the

891
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 3: sort of fever where you're so you get the chills

892
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 3: so bad that you just lie down in the shower

893
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 3: and almost never get out, just wanting to boil yourself.

894
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 3: All of the you know, telltale symptoms, but there was

895
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 3: nothing to really call it at that point. H And

896
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 3: then here comes COVID. So there's that first experience. Second

897
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 3: experience was Christmas twenty twenty two. Had all of the

898
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 3: symptoms tested negative. Every time gave it to my boyfriend,

899
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 3: he tested positive. So there's that situation. And then I

900
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,479
Speaker 3: had it more recently, and of course at that point

901
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 3: I had been vaccinated and boosted and blah blah blah.

902
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 2: So it was so you had a December twenty twenty

903
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 2: two and then you got it.

904
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 4: We said, we have Snuary.

905
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 3: No, we have to back up December twenty twenty one.

906
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 4: Oh, I see, I see it.

907
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 3: Ye, well I misspoke, I've uh, it's okay. Yeah, So yeah,

908
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 3: it was. Essentially we've had it every year and it's

909
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 3: getting better and better and I'm having the time of

910
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 3: my life.

911
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 2: Last time I had it, I was like, I don't

912
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 2: want this again, because it wasn't terrible, but I would

913
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: have a conversation, an hour long phone call, and then

914
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 2: be like, I better lay down. I feel so so

915
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 2: tired and lighted, and I'm like, I don't want that,

916
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 2: and then it takes too long to get back into

917
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 2: the swing of shit.

918
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 3: Right, And it just is so unbelievably inconvenient. It's just annoying.

919
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 3: It's being sick. It's just no one wants to be

920
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 3: sick with anything. I mean strep throat flew. There are

921
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 3: so many different horrible things that can happen.

922
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I woar my little mask on the plane

923
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 2: and people look at you funny. But Naomi Campbell was right.

924
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 2: She had a video before COVID where she was literally

925
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 2: like in a hazmat suit, wiping down everything, and she's like,

926
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 2: it's my health, and I was like, you know what,

927
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 2: you're right me and I don't. I don't want to

928
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 2: breathe these other people's there unless it's filtered through something.

929
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 2: And what was she doing that before COVID, like way before,

930
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 2: way before, And people would look at her funny, and

931
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 2: she would be like, I don't care. I don't care,

932
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 2: but I'm on board with her. I wipe down everything

933
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 2: because nobody cleans on planes. Planes are really fucking disgusting.

934
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 2: But I have yet to get sick after being on

935
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 2: a flight, and I used to get sick all the

936
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: time after flights, So I do think there's something to it.

937
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: The mask is helping a little, it's doing something.

938
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: I mean, hopefully it's doing something. There's got to be

939
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 3: a reason for it.

940
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, like surgeons and stuff where

941
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: them and they haven't stopped. So like, I think there's

942
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 2: a little some to I don't know they have.

943
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 3: Some knowledge about that that area. I don't know. Well,

944
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 3: I think we should play a game.

945
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 4: Eh, okay, I'll when.

946
00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 2: We'll see about that.

947
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 3: We're gonna play a game. Let's play gift or a curse.

948
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,919
Speaker 3: This feels I mean, you're coming in with this big

949
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 3: winning energy and we're just gonna see. Okay, but first

950
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 3: I need to number between one and ten from you eight. Okay,

951
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 3: I have to do some light calculating. While I'm calculating,

952
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be away from the mic. You're kind of

953
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 3: home alone. You've got the mic, chat with the listener.

954
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 3: Recommend something, promote something, do whatever you want to, probably right.

955
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: Okay, recommend something, Promote something. Okay. So I have a

956
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: show called Grand Crew, and that premiere is the second

957
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 2: season premiere is March third.

958
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 4: The first season is on Peacock or Hulu.

959
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 2: If you've like live television or something, I think you

960
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,919
Speaker 2: can watch it. But I'm really proud of this show.

961
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 2: I think it's really funny. I think you'll enjoy it.

962
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: The first season really revs up, and the last couple

963
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 2: episodes are like show fun and then season two starts

964
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 2: out the gate, super super fun and I think it

965
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 2: gets better and better. It's like a real rom com sitcom,

966
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 2: if you will. I also have other podcasts. I have

967
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 2: Why Won't You Date Me? Where I try to figure

968
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 2: out why I'm single, and then I have best Friends

969
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 2: with Sis Years and Nata where we're just like ha

970
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:09,680

00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 4: It's truly wild. It's very fun.

972
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: And then Newcomers with Lauren Lapkiz that's a real treat

973
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 2: and a dream. And then ninety Day Bay where me

974
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 2: and my friend Marcy talk about all things ninety Day

975
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 2: Beyonce and Darcy and Stacy all that stuff. Also I

976
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 2: have nailed it, and then wipe out so you can

977
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 2: watch all that shit is.

978
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 3: Fun, perfectly done. Thank you really you nailed it. It

979
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 3: was so sweet and Grand Crew is such a funny show.

980
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: People should be honest to look out for you.

981
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 3: I really love a podcast. Okay, well, this is how

982
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 3: gift or a Curse works. I'm going to name three things.

983
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 3: You're going to tell me if they're a gift or

984
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 3: a curse and why. Okay, now that I'm going to

985
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 3: tell you if you're right or wrong because there are

986
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 3: correct answers. People have lost the game. You could lose

987
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 3: the game. You could win Big two. So just try

988
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 3: your very best. Promise me you'll do your best.

989
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 2: I'll do my best.

990
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 3: A promise, Okay. First up, this is a listener's suggestion

991
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 3: from someone named Liz Gift or a curse Restaurant specials.

992
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 2: Restaurants specials, I think are a curse because I've already

993
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 2: looked through the restaurant's menu in my own leisure at

994
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 2: my home, so I would be adequately prepared to order

995
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 2: what I wanted to order, and I wouldn't hold up

996
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 2: the ordering process because I am a very indecisive person.

997
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 2: But I've already chosen and I don't need a curveball.

998
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

999
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 3: That is if I had written down my answer, it

1000
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 3: would have been what you just said. Of course, it's

1001
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 3: a curse. I can't have this random element coming in

1002
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 3: at the last minute for me. I have to do,

1003
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 3: you know, I have got to do my homework before

1004
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 3: I get to the restaurant or everyone's going to be

1005
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 3: screaming at me. Yes, And sometimes the restaurant special is

1006
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 3: a little bit tempting, but not tempting enough, and then

1007
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 3: I no second guessing everything. I recently went for a

1008
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 3: restaurant special and was deeply disappointed. I should have just

1009
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 3: gone with what I wanted.

1010
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 4: What was a special?

1011
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 3: It was wavos rancheros, which I usually love.

1012
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 2: This. Well, here's here's the thing with a lot of specials.

1013
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: If it was actually special and good, it'd be on

1014
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: the menu full time.

1015
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 3: What a good point. That's very true. If you're if

1016
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 3: you're that excited about the dish printed on the menu

1017
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,240
Speaker 3: for me, don't put it in the dry erase marker.

1018
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 2: The only place that has a special that's worthwhile is

1019
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 2: Little Doms. Friday night, they have lasagna, and I love

1020
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 2: their lasagna, so I try to get it to go,

1021
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 2: and now they've decided you can't order it to go.

1022
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 2: You have to go in, sit at the bar and

1023
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 2: order it there and then bag it up.

1024
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 4: And I don't understand.

1025
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 3: Why do you go sit at the bar, order it

1026
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 3: for there and then say, oh, I'm like take a

1027
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 3: bite and be like, oh I'm fin Could I get

1028
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 3: a bag to go?

1029
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 2: Listen, she's busy. My assistant does it part of her job. Now.

1030
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 3: I noticed she was covered in sauce when she showed

1031
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 3: up at my house.

1032
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 2: Because she was waiting for fucking Lizagnia.

1033
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 4: But I also tell her to get dinner for herself

1034
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 4: and she has to go in.

1035
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 2: Oh that's very nice of you. So fucking dumb, But

1036
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 2: that the.

1037
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 3: Special you're describing is kind of a special you can

1038
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 3: count on. You know it's not. I mean, it's the

1039
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 3: Friday Night Special. We all we know it's always going

1040
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 3: to be there, So that one I can kind of

1041
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 3: get behind. But these ones where it's just like the

1042
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 3: chef had a flight of fancy.

1043
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 2: Here it is.

1044
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't deal with it. It's a curse

1045
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 3: excellently played right there. Okay, so number two this is

1046
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 3: for a listener, suggested a listener named Madeline. Let's let's

1047
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 3: give credit. Madeline suggested gift or a curse. At the

1048
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 3: end of a performance, when the performers gesture to the

1049
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 3: audience and clap for them.

1050
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 2: That is a curse. I didn't you anything I came

1051
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 2: to enjoy. And also I don't want to be recognized

1052
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 2: as an audience member. There's a fourth wall for a reason.

1053
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 2: I want to enjoy what I watched and clap for you,

1054
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 2: and now you're telling me to clap for me. No, no, no, no, no, no,

1055
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 2: I don't like it occurs.

1056
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 3: Oh, Nicole, I hate to hear it. So I hate

1057
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 3: to hear it. It's a gift I love. There's nothing

1058
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 3: I love more than suddenly the actor watching an actor

1059
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 3: do that or a performer is the corniest thing you

1060
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 3: could possibly see. And look, it kind of brings you know.

1061
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 3: It shows they have a weakness, It shows their flawed.

1062
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 3: They're as flawed as I am, and it puts me

1063
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 3: on a level with them. And I love to see it.

1064
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 3: I can't get enough of it.

1065
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 2: Wow.

1066
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 4: Do you like when people clap when planes land.

1067
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 3: To let people clap for whatever they want to clap?

1068
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 2: They're saying that plane clapping story that has ever had

1069
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 2: happened was we were delayed for two hours and when

1070
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 2: they finally closed the boarding door, the flight attendant was like,

1071
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 2: I couldn't say this before, but I'm saying now the

1072
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 2: boarding door is finally closed and we are ready for takeoff,

1073
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 2: and everyone started clapping, and without like skipping a beat,

1074
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 2: the planet goes. Since we've been sitting here for two

1075
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 2: hours with the engines on, we need to refuel. We're

1076
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 2: not going anywhere for fifteen to twenty minutes and I

1077
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 2: was the only one who laughed. It was like the darling.

1078
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 4: Oh I should have clapped for that.

1079
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 2: That would have been great. That's a beautiful story.

1080
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 3: No, look, it's uh when people clap on a plane,

1081
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 3: I'm let's be very clear, I'm not joining in. But

1082
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 3: you know, whatever, clap, do whatever you want, as long

1083
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 3: as you're minding your own business. I mean clapping at

1084
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 3: the end of a movie. We're crossing a line. It's like,

1085
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:52,720
Speaker 3: who are we claping?

1086
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 2: I did clap at the end of Megan.

1087
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 3: Well, that's kind of that's you mean. I saw Megan.

1088
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,280
Speaker 3: We've got a clap for me.

1089
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 2: Saw Megan in a theater full of gay people, divas

1090
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 2: and preteens. We clapped at her entrance. We clapped at

1091
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,839
Speaker 2: the first bad thing she did. We sang along when

1092
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 2: she sang a haunting rendition of a song that I

1093
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 2: don't want to ruin. If you haven't seen the movie,

1094
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 2: it was fabulous. I had the best time at that

1095
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 2: fucking movie Megan.

1096
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 3: I mean, my only complaint is there's not enough Megan.

1097
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 3: It should have been all Megan. She should have next movie,

1098
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:34,720
Speaker 3: let her carry the show. Maybe maybe it's about Megan

1099
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 3: dealing with another Megan. So it's just pure robot.

1100
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 2: Dolls Megan and Megan.

1101
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 3: I mean, Megan is spelled with like a three, isn't it. Yeah,

1102
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,439
Speaker 3: it's like M three G. I wonder if they're gonna

1103
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 3: use a four in the next one. What's a name

1104
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 3: with the four? Can kind of be an h Is

1105
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 3: it Heather? Maybe it's Heather. If the next one is

1106
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 3: called head I would be telling Heather.

1107
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, Megan and Heather.

1108
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 3: Oh please, I'm reaching out to Hollywood. We need Heather.

1109
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 3: We've got to get the Heather moving in production. Okay,

1110
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 3: so you've gotten one out of two so far. So

1111
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 3: now the wheels are coming off a little bit. Let's

1112
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 3: see if you can get it back on track. Finally,

1113
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 3: someone named Bailey has suggested gift or a curse silent discos.

1114
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 2: I feel like you might say it's a gift, but

1115
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 2: I think they're a curse. There's nothing dumber than people

1116
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 2: with headphones just dancing. And how are you interacting with

1117
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 2: anyone to dance with anyone? Are you all listening to

1118
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 2: the same thing? I don't know. Why not just have

1119
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 2: the music play on a speaker like am I old,

1120
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,439
Speaker 2: Am I stupid? I don't know. I hate it.

1121
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 3: You are absolutely correct, I go, I mean, come on,

1122
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 3: what are we talking about here? But it just feels

1123
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 3: like it's being done for novelty's sake. It's a gimmick. Yeah,

1124
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 3: it's yes. And also I shouldn't have to bring hardware

1125
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 3: to the dance. The dance should be there for me.

1126
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 3: I bring my body, my moves, that's all I should

1127
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:14,280
Speaker 3: have to supply.

1128
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 2: I agree.

1129
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 3: And I also get concerned about like everyone's rhythm being

1130
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 3: slightly off, and like the timing of it all. It

1131
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 3: doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, I've never

1132
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 3: done it, so maybe doing it would change my experience.

1133
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

1134
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 3: Headphones are I don't want a big bulky pair of

1135
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 3: headphones on, or air pods in or what have you.

1136
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 3: And then how you don't talk to each other. I

1137
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 3: don't know. It feels very strange and unnecessary for me.

1138
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 3: I don't know what's d Yeah, not for me either.

1139
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 3: It's a curse. Well, you got two out of three

1140
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 3: not a bad play, and you've got the first one

1141
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:58,879
Speaker 3: so unbelievably correct that, I mean absolutely swept me off

1142
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 3: my feet. I'm so proud of you.

1143
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1144
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 3: Okay, So now this is the final segment of the podcast.

1145
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 3: It's called I said no emails people right into I

1146
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 3: said no gifts at gmail dot com.

1147
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 2: Nicole.

1148
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but my listeners, their lives

1149
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 3: are in turmoil NonStop. It's a it's a tough bunch.

1150
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 3: They're having a hard time at every turn, and so

1151
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 3: they you know, they look to me to answer their questions.

1152
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 2: Would you help me answer a question? Absolutely?

1153
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 3: All right, let's dive into the dock here, let's see. Okay,

1154
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 3: here we go. Great, Hello Bridger and esteemed and slash

1155
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 3: or infamous guests. Okay, so they're kind of playing both

1156
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 3: sides there with you. I don't know what their plan is.

1157
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 3: My husband and I have gotten fairly good at selecting

1158
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 3: gifts for one another over the course of our relationship,

1159
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 3: but our gift picking styles are very different. While I

1160
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 3: keep a running spreadsheet of gift ideas for all the

1161
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 3: folks I need to buy or based on small hints

1162
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 3: and conversations with them, and intentional brainstorming session oh my god,

1163
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 3: what is this person doing? And intentional brainstorming sessions months

1164
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 3: before I actually need to present a present. Oh, this

1165
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 3: is like a Doctor Seuss poem. What are we talking

1166
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 3: about here? My husband stresses himself out near the last

1167
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 3: minute trying to think of the absolute perfect gift When

1168
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 3: it's an occasion where he's going to give me a gift.

1169
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 3: I am privy to the process. He ends up picking

1170
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 3: great stuff, but I don't like to be the cause

1171
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 3: of worry and stress being so type a about this

1172
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 3: sort of thing. I'll try to help him think of

1173
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 3: ideas for gifts for me, but he always rejects my

1174
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 3: suggestions because, according to him, if he uses any of them,

1175
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 3: it's no longer a surprise and no longer his idea.

1176
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 3: I'm not really sure why he's imposed these rules on

1177
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 3: this process, But is there a way I can more

1178
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 3: subtly hint to him what I would like so he

1179
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 3: doesn't get so frazzled? Or do I just need to

1180
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 3: let him stress? Love the show? Okay, now they're trying

1181
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 3: to win me back very respectfully. Emily in North Carolina Emily. Okay,

1182
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,919
Speaker 3: So what this boils down to Emily's type a? She's

1183
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 3: you know, planning, gives way in advance, She's being thoughtful

1184
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 3: non stop. She's doing brainstorming sessions. Her husband's the opposite.

1185
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 3: He needs ideas for her, but he won't just listen

1186
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 3: to her. When she gives him ideas he rejects. He

1187
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 3: wants it to be a secret surprise. What I'm I mean,

1188
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 3: just from from the moment I'm hearing this, I'm hearing

1189
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 3: that Emily's husband wants her to start keeping things from him.

1190
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 3: He wants her to I'm going to encourage Emily to

1191
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 3: start hiding. We'll start with gifts, but then maybe personal things.

1192
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 3: And you know, suddenly she's living another life that her

1193
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 3: husband's not even aware of.

1194
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 2: I think that's great advice, because this is a non problem.

1195
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 2: I hate to tell Emily that she wrote into this

1196
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 2: podcast to brag that she has a husband and that

1197
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 2: she has the means to buy presence enough bandwidth to

1198
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,919
Speaker 2: I have a spreadsheet that she continues to update and

1199
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 2: spends time with her husband and watches him trip out

1200
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 2: over buying stuff with his own money that he earns

1201
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 2: because they have a dual income.

1202
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 4: She's got a great life.

1203
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure she's got a picket fence and and a

1204
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 2: fun dog and maybe a kid if that's what she wants.

1205
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 2: Emily has a perfect life, and she called to brag,

1206
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 2: or she wrote in to brag.

1207
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 3: Her life is reigning gifts. She's throwing gifts of people.

1208
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 3: People are throwing gifts at her. I mean, to be

1209
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 3: able to run a spreadsheet, I have no idea. I

1210
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 3: mean that would help with my docs, and I've got

1211
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 3: all these docs open and they are a mess. They

1212
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 3: are an absolute swamp of information.

1213
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 2: What's excel? I don't know? Emily.

1214
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Emily, And that's why I'm thinking the husband has

1215
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 3: kind of given her this hint keep things from me.

1216
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 3: I feel like she's headed towards a Gone Girl type situation. Oh,

1217
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 3: you know, I can't remember exactly what the plot of

1218
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 3: Gone Girl was, but I feel like some lying, some deceit.

1219
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 2: Yes, the girl was gone. The girl was gone.

1220
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 3: And then she's cutting her hair in a big lots

1221
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 3: or something. I can't remember exactly what happened like that,

1222
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 3: and then she's trapped by Neil Patrick Harris. But I

1223
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 3: feel like that's what Emily's life is headed towards. You know,

1224
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 3: she is in paradise, but maybe there's some trouble brewing,

1225
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 3: and I encourage that.

1226
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 2: I agree, I encourage the trouble as well, because her

1227
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 2: life is too perfect.

1228
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 3: It's too perfect, and she's she's gonna get bored at

1229
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 3: some point, and then that's gonna be an even bigger

1230
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 3: problem for her.

1231
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 2: Imagine the news headline woman gone girls herself after listening

1232
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 2: to podcast.

1233
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 3: That is the type of press this podcast needs. That's

1234
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 3: all I want this pod. I need this podcast to

1235
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 3: be the spark of multiple crimes. I just want my

1236
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 3: all of my listeners to turn to crime. So if

1237
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 3: we can get the word out in that way, I'm

1238
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 3: happy to do it. And we start with Emily.

1239
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 2: Yes, Emily, start your crime.

1240
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 3: Spree, Nicole. We answered the question more than perfectly. Emily

1241
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 3: can't complain, and if she does, that's, you know, on her.

1242
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 3: There's only so much I can do. There's only so

1243
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 3: much you can do. And we just hope that Emily

1244
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 3: finds what she's really looking for. I hope so, Nicole.

1245
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 3: I've had such a terrific time with you here. I've

1246
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 3: now got these cough drops which I can kind of

1247
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 3: sprinkle throughout my bag and they'll just be kind of

1248
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 3: shuffling around down there from when I get some disgusting

1249
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 3: cough and then I can pop one in and be

1250
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 3: slightly under control.

1251
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, you're welcome.

1252
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I can't thank you enough, and thank you for

1253
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 3: being here.

1254
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me.

1255
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 3: What a real treat listener. The podcast is screeching to

1256
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 3: a halt. You know the tap it has been shut off.

1257
01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:00,479
Speaker 3: The drip will slowly end and you will, of course

1258
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 3: move on. So I'm excited for you. I'm encouraging you

1259
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 3: to commit crime or do whatever you need to do

1260
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 3: with your day, whatever it takes to fill your life.

1261
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 3: I love you, goodbye. I said, No Gifts is an

1262
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 3: exactly right production. It's produced by our dear friend Annalise Neilson,

1263
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 3: and it's beautifully mixed by Leona Squilatchi. And we couldn't

1264
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 3: do it without our guest booker Patrick Kottner. The theme song,

1265
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 3: of course, could only come from miracle worker Amy Mann.

1266
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 3: You must follow the show on Instagram at I said

1267
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 3: no Gifts, I don't want to hear any excuses. That's

1268
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 3: where you get to see pictures of all these gorgeous

1269
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 3: gifts I'm getting. And don't you want to see pictures

1270
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 3: of the gifts?

1271
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 2: The I invit? Did you hear?

1272
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: Funa man myself perfectly clear? When you're a guest, Tom

1273
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: come to me empty, and I said, no, guests, your

1274
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: presence is presents enough. I already had too much stuff,

1275
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: So how do you dare to surbey me?
