00:00:08 Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests, your own presences presence enough. I already had too much stuff, So. 00:00:35 Speaker 2: How do you dare to surbey me? 00:00:47 Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Bridger Wineger. It's the beginning of the podcast. I'm excited to have you here, and we should probably just quickly mention, you know, I've already mentioned it before that Apple Podcasts has decided to spotlight I said no gifts, and that you know, they listened to it, they enjoyed it, They thought a wider audience might enjoy it, and so they've kind of shoved us out onto this stage in front of everyone. And that means you might be a new listener, just as of the last minute or so. And that's very exciting. But you might also be scared. You might be you know, frightened. It's terrifying to try new things, and I get that you might also be ashamed, shamed that you're just discovering the podcast, despite the fact that there are you know, a hundred or so beautiful episodes already out in the wild that you could have already listened to. And I'm not going to, you know, sit here and point fingers and try to embarrass you. I'm just going to open my arms and embrace you. It's a very easy podcast. I think you're going to get it very quickly. I believe in you. I have faith that you will be able to understand what this show does, and then you're going to enjoy yourself. Of course, there is the possibility that you don't get it, that it's just too difficult, and I'm not going to judge you for that. You might be the sort of person that would prefer, you know, to go out to the garage and grab a rake and kind of just drag it around the asphalt in front of your house for an hour listen to that, you know, kind of that scrape, or maybe you know, you're the kind of person that prefers to listen to the sound of themselves chewing, which in case, you know, maybe you could shove beef into your mouth, just stuff it with beef and gnah on that for as long as possible. Both of those things are completely ad free. They're available for you. I support you. If that's more your cup of tea. But if you do want to stick around, I'm obviously happy to have you, and we're going to have a very nice time together. And I'm sure just from this very intro, you can probably already tell that I'm operating on two hours of sleep. I'm not saying that to brag. I'm not saying that to complain. I'm just putting the fact out there. I want you to use that information to color the rest of this podcast, however you will. If you have problems with the podcast, it's because I'm tired. If you love this episode, it's because I'm tired. And I'll, you know, let me know. Maybe I'll maybe this can become a regular thing where I'm just absolutely delirious at every recording. 00:03:23 Speaker 4: I don't know. 00:03:24 Speaker 3: Look, I was driving earlier and I realized I no longer have a celebrity crush. I feel very adrift as far as celebrity crushes go. That's something, you know. I'm just we're dealing with things here. I'm having problems. Let's get into the podcast. I love today's guest. I think he's so funny. It's Nori Davis. Welcome to I said no. 00:03:47 Speaker 2: Gifts, how are you sir, How are you doing? I am yeah, yes, I am exhausted too. 00:03:56 Speaker 5: I am here joining you with a little bit of Jameson on the side. 00:04:00 Speaker 4: Oh very much. 00:04:02 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think like just says the vibe man. So hey man, no pressure, dog. I feel that vibe like we're exhausted. We don't know the temperature of this world. And I'm not talking weather. It's like, look, man, let's just help help help each other. 00:04:17 Speaker 3: You and I are going to help each other through the next hour. Yes, yes, we're both gonna fall apart. Exactly exactly is it. 00:04:25 Speaker 4: You're in New York right now? Is it freezing? 00:04:27 Speaker 1: Oh? 00:04:27 Speaker 5: Man, it's brick outside, as as they say. And the other term is the hawk is out. Yes, it's yeah. Door dash all day, or get your groceries and hurry up and run the fucking side and never go back outside to the point where you turn your car on and it wants to be turned the fuck off. It doesn't want to be on. That's how pure with my car. So yeah, it's it's horrendous. Where are you in New York? I'm in Yonkers fantastic, yes, Wyo, the land of DMX, Magic Blige, all that stuff. 00:05:00 Speaker 4: It is snowing. 00:05:02 Speaker 5: We literally have a snowstorm coming this Saturday. And they say they estimate from two to twenty inches, So you know. 00:05:14 Speaker 4: That is why bother estimating. 00:05:17 Speaker 5: I mean, I still understand how these people have a job, but they've been getting away with it for years. Like, yeah, it's gonna snow from I don't know inch to you're gonna die, You're gonna be buried. We don't We literally don't know, but hey, prepare, good luck, Yeah, good luck each Yes, and you're in LA right, you're in Los Angeles. 00:05:39 Speaker 3: I am, and from time to time I try to be aware that the rest of the world is in winter. But I was talking to somebody in New York earlier and they reminded me of that, and I just thought, I've completely lost touch. 00:05:51 Speaker 5: I mean, when I think of where you're at, I'm like, yeah, Santa Monica, that sunset beach like the sun you know. But it does get cold in LA. Like I know, I see you have a hoodie and a zip up, you know what I'm saying, So it does get cold. That is one of the scams off over here on the East Coast. We think, let me pack my shorts let me pack like a button down shirt, but I have an open when I come off the plane, and immediately we come into your weather, it's not as warm as we thought. We really think it's constantly ninety five over there, right, LA could be. 00:06:27 Speaker 3: A giant scam that way, and especially like during these months we're in the like from basically like noon to two o'clock, it's like eighty degrees and then it drops to forty five. 00:06:37 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's it right there where you're. 00:06:40 Speaker 5: Like, what the fuck just happened? The sun's I gotta go, baby, I'm sorry, I'm not he no more. And night pulls up and I needed my winter jacket that I have back in New York, so you can relate, but like, yeah, definitely don't get no snow. 00:06:55 Speaker 2: And that's about to pull up soon, so not looking forward to that. 00:07:00 Speaker 3: I mean, not to bring this back to well, it's not really bringing up back to me, but I was talking earlier. I realized I don't have a celebrity crush anymore. 00:07:07 Speaker 2: What happened? 00:07:08 Speaker 5: Yeah, I heard that I was podcasting, So wait, who was the celebrity crushed before? 00:07:13 Speaker 4: I don't, I can't. 00:07:14 Speaker 3: I mean, it's I feel like it's been years and I'm just it's occurring to me now. I mean I feel like I had a celebrity crush on like oscar Is at one point, but that's kind of gone away. 00:07:24 Speaker 4: Javier Bardam, it wasn't. 00:07:26 Speaker 5: The new Marvel trailers. You're doing too much now, I can't. He's not even like a a like that. It is a very Let's say, because I am a Marvel nerd and comic books and ship, so we say moon Night is a D list comic book hero. You know that's not something you go to get his personal comic book. 00:07:56 Speaker 2: We're just like, oh, yeah, we know what he does. 00:07:58 Speaker 5: Word and you keep going so like now Marvel's just getting all the actors and they're doing. 00:08:04 Speaker 2: These see the d characters. 00:08:06 Speaker 4: I mean, we'll keep. 00:08:07 Speaker 5: This on the podcast between me and you and your fans. 00:08:11 Speaker 2: So, I mean that isn't that It could be that. 00:08:13 Speaker 4: It might be. 00:08:15 Speaker 3: I mean the Marvel's really scraping the bottom of the barrel as far. I mean, you make that many movies, you really do have to start going like into storage to find characters. 00:08:24 Speaker 2: Right, Let's let's shout out to the actors that's working though. 00:08:26 Speaker 5: I get that but I definitely get that. But yeah, Oscars, going off your list? What else did you have? 00:08:32 Speaker 4: I don't know. 00:08:33 Speaker 3: I was like, you know, at some point Javier Bardem was, but now I feel like he's kind of I don't know, I've lost interest. 00:08:39 Speaker 2: What about you? 00:08:39 Speaker 4: Do you have any celebrity crushes? 00:08:41 Speaker 2: A good question. 00:08:44 Speaker 5: The first thing comes to my mind because recently she went through losing her son. 00:08:48 Speaker 2: But Regina King definitely. 00:08:51 Speaker 4: Crush, very. 00:08:55 Speaker 5: Poetic justice and then she was just a watchman. She was fantastic, so good. I love great work and also great dope black women. And there's I mean, there's a classic Holly Berry. But I mean that's everybody. I feel like that's just kind of a generation. That's a that's a yeah exactly, that's the older generation. I'm trying to think, uh, what is that. I'm not good with actors names. I usually always all right cool. I was about to feel bad, like I used to go, oh, the person that played in this film, you know them from this film? And no I don't even name the title. I just say they did this and that. So swan song on Apple TV. 00:09:39 Speaker 4: But there's something called swan song. 00:09:41 Speaker 5: Yeah, with marsha Al Lee and let's see the cast is I got it right here because I'm really fast with the google. 00:09:49 Speaker 2: There you go. Naomi Harris, she's dope. 00:09:53 Speaker 4: I'm not familiar with her. 00:09:54 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's awesome. Naomi Harris, she's dope. That's definitely a celebrity crush right there. And another one is what's her name? And I recently met her when I worked with her on Dickison. I love funny fucking women. Love funny women. I don't care about gender race like funny like Patty Harrison's fucking hilarious of her, right, you know, you know, right? Yeah, And uh, let me go to I just had it. She is classic from thirty Rock Jane Love Jane, and. 00:10:29 Speaker 2: She's like five four five three, and I was like, oh my god, it's like your bite size, you know. 00:10:35 Speaker 5: But then like I'm just like, oh, yeah, you're in scenes, You're like in the same show her. So act accordingly, norrich. You deserve to be you know what I'm saying. You do that ship where you're like, oh, deserve to be you know. 00:10:47 Speaker 4: Yeah, of course, but you're like, oh, we're doing the same job exactly. 00:10:52 Speaker 5: I'm not worthy, but I am so act like a fucking human being. Like I had to do that a couple of times at the viewing party and on set. But Jane is so fucking funny. Her timing is so huge. Crush with that, so like, wait, so then you've phone out of the crushes. 00:11:09 Speaker 2: Nobody knew. 00:11:10 Speaker 4: Man, these are great. 00:11:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is a big news story as far as I'm concerned. She's got a list of all your celebrity crushes. 00:11:17 Speaker 2: Yes. 00:11:19 Speaker 5: Yeah. 00:11:20 Speaker 3: And it's also comforting to hear somebody else not be good with celebrity names. 00:11:24 Speaker 4: I'm so bad at it. 00:11:25 Speaker 2: I'm not good. 00:11:26 Speaker 5: I have this thing with my girlfriend when I tell her like, hey, if I introduce you to the person, then I fox with them. If I don't, don't worry about it. But if I say this is what they're like, Hey, this is what's the name? 00:11:40 Speaker 2: What's the name? 00:11:42 Speaker 5: And then I don't say their name, then that's when you come in and say, hey, what's your name? 00:11:47 Speaker 2: Because I don't know their name. 00:11:49 Speaker 5: So I can kind of get away with the black the blackness of like, yo, what's up baby, No, get I get it yo, Or I hit them like if I read them, if they know that I don't know their name and I just say to M, We're like my nigga was and they're like, okay, I'm his nigga, Like all right, that's Norri. He's dope. So that's a little secret right there. It's like like maybe like nah, no, one never caught me out there, but I'm just saying my secret out there. Was just like yeah, they called me and we're like, oh man, he really fucks with me, he really loves And I'm like I don't know their name. 00:12:24 Speaker 2: I'll beat it later. 00:12:26 Speaker 6: So I am notius for you have to have a bag of tricks like that. 00:12:31 Speaker 4: It was like a sweetheart or you see, you got. 00:12:34 Speaker 3: You know, you gotta have just a generic word to call a large group of people in your life. 00:12:39 Speaker 2: Because you can throw in the queen. You can get away that. 00:12:42 Speaker 4: You be like, hey, I can't get away with a queen, Like I can't. I can't do it. I can't. It doesn't I feel like who am I when I say queen? 00:12:51 Speaker 3: Like I am? I am playing a role right here? This is not I can't. I would love to call somebody queen. It doesn't work for me, It doesn't work for general vibe. I gotcha, I got you. 00:13:03 Speaker 5: Yeah, so I I hit him with that, like just a little smoke and mirrors. 00:13:07 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's hard. 00:13:09 Speaker 5: I have to see you at Lisa consistently nine or eight times, like consistent, and I'm like, all right, I know who this person is, like they're they're important to my life. 00:13:19 Speaker 4: Okay, so you just have to wear a name tag? 00:13:21 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean come on, man, Yeah, can we just all walk around and we work at Walmart, all of us? 00:13:27 Speaker 3: Or do you like an Alvin and Chipmunk the Chipmunk sort of thing where everyone has the first letter of their name on a like a knee length sweater. 00:13:34 Speaker 5: Hilarious, And then we're just guessing, like, damn it, there's an end the fuck. 00:13:38 Speaker 2: I still don't got it. 00:13:42 Speaker 5: I still don't got it. Yeah that's social anxiety, man, Yeah, that's so. Yeah. Bag of tricks are just get me in and out of it, and like, let's move on. What's the what's the small talk? Where are we going this name shit? 00:13:55 Speaker 4: Rightly? 00:13:56 Speaker 6: I don't know. 00:13:56 Speaker 2: I could do small talk and big. 00:13:58 Speaker 4: Talk, but like names, no, thank you? 00:14:01 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you get to know you much more. Yeah, what else is going on in your life? 00:14:07 Speaker 1: Oh? 00:14:08 Speaker 6: Man? 00:14:08 Speaker 5: Going on right now? January is we're recording January. Don't know when you release it, But this month is trash, man. This month is really trash. It's so trash it's still going. I keep forgetting, Like right when we get into the new year, we literally have thirty one days and they feel like eighty four days, especially. 00:14:34 Speaker 2: With COVID, you know, and the variant. 00:14:36 Speaker 5: So all my gigs for the weekend I was doing, I was playing like a little tour. I'm recording my fifth stand up comedy album. I was going to do that in January, so I did like a tour, going to Michigan, San Francisco, Harlem, Brooklyn. Everything got canceled. So I just like, it's just so trash man. 00:14:57 Speaker 4: So did you delay or just yeah? 00:15:00 Speaker 2: I delayed the recording. 00:15:01 Speaker 5: It will be in March, March twenty fifth, But man, that was like that was gonna be some good money for like my team and everything, and I honestly feel down about that and for them. So just gonna recoup for that once we get the fuck out of this month. You seem like if I could just get out of it, we're not getting out of it. I appreciate that optimism, but this month will not be ending this year. Bridgerd come on Bridge like they got to be away where. So you think January friends, and it's gonna be. 00:15:33 Speaker 2: Like happy New Year. 00:15:35 Speaker 5: No, I'm not January first again. 00:15:39 Speaker 3: I think it's where we get to January thirty first, the clock will tick and then it'll be January thirtieth again, and then we're just gonna be stuck at the very end of the month until we've all kind of just thrown ourselves into the ocean. 00:15:50 Speaker 2: God damn. 00:15:51 Speaker 5: I mean you know what, I can't I can swim, but I can't really hold my breath, so fuck it, let's. 00:15:56 Speaker 2: Just go man. Yeah. 00:15:58 Speaker 5: Yeah, So the month is trashed with that, but trying to be optimist. So I just optimistic about it. So I've been writing, performing little spots here and here in New York like little clubs, and been working on material, and February is so much better. It's so much better. I'm telling you, I'm going I'm going away, going to sing Lucia. Haven't been there before, going to an island. 00:16:20 Speaker 4: That sounds lovely. 00:16:22 Speaker 2: Thank you. 00:16:22 Speaker 5: Even when I say it, it doesn't feel real. That's how bad this month is. Like, that's not I'm not gonna make it. 00:16:31 Speaker 2: Because January might suck me back in and say. 00:16:34 Speaker 5: Yeah it's January third. Now where the fuck you think you're going? 00:16:41 Speaker 4: How long are you going on vacation for five days? 00:16:45 Speaker 1: Oh? 00:16:45 Speaker 2: Very nice? 00:16:46 Speaker 5: Yeah, me and my lady. She has her friends coming. So it's gonna be a nice, tight, little reality TV show that I'm just gonna be sipping my tea and just enjoying. 00:16:58 Speaker 2: Join the drama. 00:16:59 Speaker 4: This is just gonna be kind of a beach vacation sort of thing. 00:17:02 Speaker 2: Yeah, beach vacation. 00:17:04 Speaker 5: And again in no situations, I don't even know what to do, Like I don't know about you, Like I'm a workaholic, So going to a beach or beach vacation feels like, oh wow, you're gonna miss everything. You're gonna lose, Like when you get back, stand up is canceled, like did you missed it? 00:17:27 Speaker 2: You missed it, like. 00:17:28 Speaker 4: Your path is gone. 00:17:29 Speaker 2: Gone, Yeah, it wiped away. They put the whole foods on top of it. It's over, You're a mop. 00:17:38 Speaker 5: I was just like, yeah, them negative saying that bullshit like, oh it's over, but no, it's it's I'm excited. 00:17:44 Speaker 2: I don't know you've ever been like the beach vacation stuff like that. Like I don't even know what the brain. 00:17:50 Speaker 5: I feel like I'm going to start bringing winter shit because that's all I have in my closet right now. Like am I supposed to go get my summer shit? 00:17:57 Speaker 3: You just see the swim suit and you know, I don't know, some sort of shoot that doesn't get too much sand in it. 00:18:02 Speaker 4: Ah. 00:18:03 Speaker 2: Yeah, so don't bring the Jays, thank you? Okay? 00:18:07 Speaker 4: Do you like to read on the beach listen to music? I'm really a pool. 00:18:11 Speaker 5: Person, so I am going to an atmosphere and I'm like, all right, sit down. I don't yeah, because like the thing about to be, sand gets everywhere. 00:18:21 Speaker 2: I just remember that as a kid. It just it just gets everywhere. 00:18:26 Speaker 5: And then don't leave even when you take a showers, like there's just a little bit of sand somewhere and you like, get the fuck away from me. 00:18:33 Speaker 2: No offense to the beach people out there. 00:18:35 Speaker 4: But it's a huge vocal community. 00:18:38 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's literally Instagram, it's a whole geo tag like we're here. 00:18:48 Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm a pool dude. 00:18:50 Speaker 5: Shout out to the pool dudes out there, Pool ladies, and non dyinary. 00:18:54 Speaker 2: Oh your gentle baby, love you.

If you have any tips, I would love to hear it. I don't know. 00:19:10 Speaker 3: Well, now that you're saying it, I'm realizing I like to go to the beach when it's in another state, when it's not when I'm not going home after the beach. 00:19:18 Speaker 4: I cannot go to the beach here. 00:19:21 Speaker 3: It's not a fun thing. That's like, oh, I'm gonna be sandy, then I go home. But I like to be able to get your hotel room or your airbnb a little sandy who cares? Yeah, I need it thousands of miles away from it. 00:19:31 Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. So I'm I'm in a good atmosphere and I feel that too. Yeah I would. I mean, I'm in New York.

I think there must have been some sort of secret ingredient because I felt like. 00:21:22 Speaker 2: I was on speed. 00:21:24 Speaker 3: I was like fully awake until probably four a m. Fell asleep for maybe an hour and a half, and then woke up again. 00:21:31 Speaker 2: Was it edible? Had edible? 00:21:32 Speaker 4: No, it was just like a regular cookie. 00:21:35 Speaker 2: I don't know, man, somebody roofi you brow. 00:21:38 Speaker 7: I felt that way, was like it was the only ships mystery factor of my day that could have possibly and it was a horrible evening, truly terrible. 00:21:50 Speaker 2: Oh because you're like, oh, so are you you one? And needs? 00:21:53 Speaker 5: Like are you an early bird night owl? Or you just need your you need your out eight hours? 00:21:57 Speaker 3: I just need a good eight hours. I don't care where they land, what about you. 00:22:05 Speaker 5: I think I'm a good let me see. I think I'm a good seven to six hours, and then I'm up. I have this thing where my brain is constantly on talking, talking, talking, in that voice, that trauma voice in the back, talking talking, and then my body is an old black janitor that says, look, look, I'm turning the lights off. 00:22:28 Speaker 2: He's done enough, and it's like no, no, but there's this other joking that maybe we could do this, maybe we do that. Look, it's good night, so I'm not gout. 00:22:37 Speaker 5: And then when I wake back up to like got go pee whatever and then come back and then my brain's like good, I'm glad you're up. 00:22:43 Speaker 2: So look, I was also thinking I was meaning to talk to you yeah. 00:22:46 Speaker 5: I oh man, I've been waiting to talk to you man in like seven seven hours is bullshit.

Some people in the content, someone index, some people in the footnotes. It's it's a mess. It really is a mess out here. It's it's stupid. 00:27:33 Speaker 3: So I mean, nor is I mean going back a little bit too, falling asleep behind the wheel, and you know, just not doing things you should be. 00:27:43 Speaker 4: I hate to bring this up right now, and to do it. 00:27:46 Speaker 3: It's a drag for me. It's not not fun. It's not you know, this isn't something I take pleasure in. But you agreed to be on the podcast, I don't know a month ago. I mean, it's hard to say at this point, but I was so I thought, he's so funny. We're gonna have a nice time. There's no chance we'll get in a fight, or that any feelings will be hurt. I'm sure we'll you know, respect each other's boundaries, and so it was a little surprised when recently I opened the front door and there was something there from you to me. You know this, I said, at the top of the podcast, you agreed to various emails with the title of the podcast. I said, no gifts. It's you know, I think it's clear as day what the situation with this podcast is. So I opened the door and saw this thing. Freaked out, you know, punched a hole in the wall, just kind of screamed into a pillow for half an hour, and then I had a snack and cooled down, had a nice glass of water, soothed myself, just did some breathing exercises and thought, I'll just I'll approach him when he's on the podcast about whatever is going on. So now in my hands, I'm holding kind of a bag with a seashell on it. It's a gorgeous bag. Wow, Okay, there's no one can deny that. 00:29:14 Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, it's yeah. I mean beach right. 00:29:17 Speaker 5: I kind of knew we was gonna talk about the beach, so I just wanted you to be like, hey man, you know, I know. 00:29:23 Speaker 2: You a beach dude.

Pop all right, So we're gonna open it up and immediately there's another box. 00:30:05 Speaker 2: Oh, so I guess. 00:30:07 Speaker 3: I'll have to open this. I mean the manual labor alone for me is disgusting. 00:30:13 Speaker 2: You have any knives, you have like any sharp objects? 00:30:15 Speaker 4: I have a scissor. 00:30:17 Speaker 3: I'm trying to get away from it because I feel like I'm gonna slice myself open in front of a guest and it's gonna be traumatic and we. 00:30:23 Speaker 8: Don't want that and we didn't end up in some sort of lawsuit. Okay, I'm opening That sounds good, but then there's also a bad. 00:30:34 Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I am a prankster, you know. I was almost on jackass for almost was. 00:30:38 Speaker 4: On it is that true? 00:30:40 Speaker 5: No, But I'm just saying, like, hey, a box in a box in the. 00:30:44 Speaker 3: Box, Okay, there's a little card here that says, enjoy my gift, even though you said no gifts. Okay, all right, so I don't know, this feels like an assault. I'm just gonna opening and I will say the company that provides this sort of bag, this is the toughest material in the world. 00:31:06 Speaker 2: They're like, we're getting to work. 00:31:07 Speaker 5: We're gonna get some tight thing ribbons in the bag for this. 00:31:13 Speaker 3: All right, I'm reaching into the bag. Now there's some tissue. Always you get some tissue.

But not only that, I mean it's a size five to ten. So you know, I'm right in the middle there. I'm an eight eight, eight and a half nine hard to say, but also it's Raphael and has literally like is what is this called the yeah? 00:31:57 Speaker 2: The the mask? 00:32:00 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but it's like it hangs off of the sock, which seems crazy. 00:32:05 Speaker 2: I what to say. 00:32:06 Speaker 5: This is but when you're running, you want like them the red flash flares coming out you baby. 00:32:13 Speaker 2: I had to. Once I saw that, I was like this, this is this, this one my homie right here. 00:32:16 Speaker 4: Man, the idea of this sock. 00:32:21 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a cartoon for children, but you know, got up to your knees then I had, some of your knees have kind of this. It's almost kind of like a weird sexy lingerie. 00:32:33 Speaker 4: Let's just put it out there. 00:32:34 Speaker 5: If you want to like interpret it like that, then good. Go go for honey, Go for honey. That's all you man. You can say the Raphael is a sex if out of the Ninja Turtles, Raphael would be the sexiest. I mean then I think second probably be Michaelangel because he's funny and goofy and you know people like that. 00:32:50 Speaker 2: But Raphael all day. 00:32:53 Speaker 3: He kind of is like the most I think, yeah, probably the most sexual Ninja Turtle. He's got like a real anger, like kind of a like a masculine energy. 00:33:05 Speaker 4: That's kind of that. The other turtles don't quite. 00:33:08 Speaker 5: Hurt not seen right right, got got the big brother Leo, who thinks he's better than him in his head, even though Leland give a fuck, you know, so like, yeah, it's just like he got some dark things. 00:33:21 Speaker 2: He got some dark issues, and dark issues is hot. 00:33:24 Speaker 4: Totally completely, I think we found my celebrity crush credible. That the Raphael crush celebrity c Yeah. 00:33:37 Speaker 3: I would say, like as far as sex and Ninja turtles, you have Raphael, yeah, Michelangelo, and Donatello. Kind of Donatello's kind of. 00:33:46 Speaker 2: The intellectual without intellectual, Yeah, you got it. 00:33:49 Speaker 3: Sensitive, probably potentially the gayest. I would say, if one of the four is gay, I'm I'm going with don that's it. 00:33:58 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's a perfect one. 00:34:00 Speaker 3: And then you have Leonardo, who's kind of a kill joy, kind of the party ruiner. 00:34:05 Speaker 5: He could be the closetic gay. He would be the type of one that's like, oh, like I'm serious, I'm the leader. 00:34:10 Speaker 2: But then like I love a. 00:34:11 Speaker 5: Bear, you know, like he looks like he would be that that that turtle. 00:34:16 Speaker 3: He's kind of the Pete Pete Buddha judge of the Ninja Turtles kind of you know, got too many straight a's, so it's not fun to be around. And it's like, Okay, I guess you're part of the community. Congrats, but you're a dork. 00:34:32 Speaker 2: Oh my god, man, it's such a good time with you. 00:34:33 Speaker 3: This is did you did you watch Ninja Turtles growing up? 00:34:37 Speaker 6: Yeah? 00:34:38 Speaker 5: On brand, man, that is my favorite shit. I just want to bring you into my world as this is the first time we're meeting and talking. And yes, love Ninja Turtles. I even did a joke about them on my Comedy Central half hour. And when I did that, I got the co writer and creator of the Ninja Turtles to send me a p personalized comic book. 00:35:02 Speaker 2: And yeah, Kevin Eastman. 00:35:05 Speaker 4: Wow, he's like a legend. 00:35:07 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. 00:35:08 Speaker 5: And I got to talk with him and he wanted me the host one of his illustration drunks. He sent me a care package two years ago. It was fantastic. So I was like, hey, all right, here's he said, no gifts, but let me give him something that's a piece of me, of my inner child. I currently don't like listen or collect najatos anymore. I think I'm past that, but sure that is me. That that's definitely me, Refiel, this is my ship. So I wanted to give you a piece of my little childhood heart. 00:35:38 Speaker 4: I'm already there. I'm completely there with you. This is me. 00:35:40 Speaker 3: I mean, of course, I think we're probably similarly age. I was fulling Inja Turtles. I think my number one choice was probably Donna Tello Nice. 00:35:50 Speaker 2: That's a good one. 00:35:51 Speaker 4: I think Leonardo's everyone's least favorite. 00:35:55 Speaker 2: Oh, I always thought it was. 00:35:57 Speaker 5: I thought it was Donnie. I never heard like, oh, you've got don't call me out like that. I mean, I'm sorry, like I never really have pro Donnie, And I'm so happy that it wants my heart to hear that, like like everybody around me, Like, you know, I grew up black, you know, true masculine type shit. So it was always like the Michelangelo and stuff like that, because he's goofy your shit, but raphaels my shit. And nineteen eighty nine Ninja Turtles was my film. 00:36:25 Speaker 2: Man, it's so. 00:36:25 Speaker 3: Good, I'll probably watch your tonight and probably enjoy it. 00:36:29 Speaker 2: It was one of. 00:36:29 Speaker 5: Those Yes, it was one of those films that when it came out, I believe yet went to the theaters. My mom, I had to be at least eight, and she was one of the moms who came out. 00:36:41 Speaker 2: Where she was like that was just so dark. I didn't know it was like that. 00:36:45 Speaker 5: Like she was one of those like Karen type moms complaining. 00:36:49 Speaker 2: Why the fuck would they have it's so dark like that? 00:36:53 Speaker 5: And then that's she was like like she was like ero point five percent of the voice that made Ninja Turtles two to be so fucking glowy and happy and ship and like there's not that much darkness or death. Like they literally killed Treador in the It was incredible. It was incredible. But yeah, that was my mom. 00:37:12 Speaker 2: She did that. She was part of that klan. 00:37:14 Speaker 4: Uh she ru into the Ninja Turtle. 00:37:16 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 00:37:17 Speaker 5: Even though number two they did it, they did pull it off, like I give them credit for. 00:37:22 Speaker 2: Like they got some notes. 00:37:24 Speaker 4: From your mom, specifically. 00:37:26 Speaker 5: Very harsh notes from my mom's and they said, okay, well know what to do. We're gonna give Vanilla ice. We're gonna put them in the club. They're gonna dance. And I was still in there like going in goldn you. 00:37:38 Speaker 2: Go, Like that was my shit. 00:37:40 Speaker 3: So your mom demanded the Shredder climb out of the garbage. At the beginning of Ninja Turtles Too, she wanted to see him alive again. 00:37:48 Speaker 5: How dead it be in the sewer? They why they killed They beat a Raphael like that. They shouldn't get his ass beat you know, like like fist of like fist the yeah, fist the face that was like something that's like it was Pg. Thirteen, So that's something like my you know, you know, parents, my child who is hey, he should. 00:38:07 Speaker 2: Be seeing that violence. 00:38:08 Speaker 5: You know, the time where they think video games and movies affects how we act in real life when it's like we're not we're kids, but we're not children Jesus Christ, like we know the difference. 00:38:21 Speaker 4: And they are turtles. 00:38:22 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, thank you. 00:38:26 Speaker 6: Get me on the phone with your mom. I'm happy to thank you. Let's keep this real. They're turtles and they're teenagers and they know Ninja. 00:38:34 Speaker 4: They're friends with a very old rat is a rat wire we talking to you. 00:38:44 Speaker 3: They really lost their way with that third movie, I feel like which that was the one where. 00:38:48 Speaker 2: They lost They go back in time, they had freckles. 00:38:53 Speaker 4: Do they give them freckles in that movie? 00:38:54 Speaker 6: And they gave them like black freckles on their face was supposed to fix and and they it was kind of thing you're ever editing a photo and you just put the brightness all the way up. 00:39:06 Speaker 5: What that film was They put the brightness too too far out. I watched it, you know, and I watched the other couple of times. I was like, yeah, man, they ain't have to do this, but you know they did it. Yeah. 00:39:16 Speaker 3: I remember, even as a kid with you know, like not knowing what a good movie is, thinking this one's not very good. 00:39:22 Speaker 4: Something happened. 00:39:23 Speaker 2: Yeah, capitalism gone cat baby. 00:39:26 Speaker 4: They just got to make. 00:39:27 Speaker 2: More until it dies kill it. Yeah. 00:39:31 Speaker 5: That Their one was Hoof and then you know, they came up with the animated TM and T and I mean you can go down the resume, but yeah, I love all that. And is it just it's just a Rafael one? Right? 00:39:42 Speaker 2: Is it? Two pair? 00:39:44 Speaker 3: This is just let's say, I believe it's just Raphael. Okay, I mean they're gorgeous. This is a very well made sock. I can tell you know. This is like an official Nickelodeon sock. It's crazy. You ever buy some gift and you're jealous You're like, all the time, spend money on this, and now you get it? Do you when you were a kiddo, Like, would you ever go to a friend's birthday and like you would have to take a gift and like you're essentially you would go to the toy store. I would go and I'd be like, I'm just picking out something for myself essentially, and then I'm going to be mad that I don't get to keep it exactly. 00:40:19 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's exactly what this was with you. But if we won't bring down the childhood, it would be well, I mean I think, yeah, I can't say. 00:40:30 Speaker 2: I can't say I have. 00:40:31 Speaker 5: Because I think my mother controlled the money, so she got something that she thought that that person would have. But if I would get somebody I'm trying to the last time I got somebody gift, Yeah, I get I got something for them, and this is relationship wise, but like yeah, black. 00:40:48 Speaker 2: Man, like yeah, we never never read about. 00:40:50 Speaker 5: My nigga's gifts like that. Yeah that's something I gotta fix. Gotta fix that. You gotta fix that. I think I should get them something. Yeah, it's just it's just weird, that weird toxic shit. It's right, definitely Walk Walk working through it like hey man, I love you. Man, here's something that you should have and like they always had an energy like man, give me no goddamn gid fuck bro, but what. 00:41:13 Speaker 2: I thought of you and I think this is you. 00:41:16 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a very nice thing we should have completely normalized, just giving you know, I thought of you and I saw this and thought you could use it. 00:41:24 Speaker 2: That's I mean, that's been my comedy of trying to. 00:41:27 Speaker 5: Like Trump or like Walk has toxic masculinity with definitely within the black community of like it's not considered gay, but there's that fucking. 00:41:39 Speaker 2: I call it ron Crow. 00:41:40 Speaker 5: He's like there's Jim Crow and blackman, there's ron Crows the separation of gender and sex, and it's just like there's always that voice in a black man's voice like that shit gay bro, don't do that. It's just like shut up, Like I can get my nigga. I don't know, I want to buy him this scarf. I don't know why you're gonna be rapist dig with it, yo, shut up. So the best way to give a guy, a black man a gift. 00:42:06 Speaker 2: And that you know, my generation is like, yo, that was a good meal. I got this. 00:42:13 Speaker 4: It's that that's a nice way of handling it. 00:42:16 Speaker 3: It's showing you care without too many you know, like it doesn't feel like you went that far out of her. 00:42:21 Speaker 2: But that's stupid, right, It's so dumb. 00:42:24 Speaker 4: It's extreme. But I deal with the same thing. 00:42:26 Speaker 2: It's so really okay. 00:42:28 Speaker 3: I mean, like giving somebody something for just no, for just uh no occasion. I'm like, oh, am, I a psycho, but you should be able to give your friends just show up to their house and say, oh, I brought you a new shirts, the whatever gift. 00:42:45 Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to do something special for you, But just don't mean I'm like sexually attracted to you, even though that's what the fucking culture you know, hip hop, that that's that's our that's it's like so embedded in our DNA. It's like I always try to denounce it and talk, you know, the opposite towards it, because it's like, just because you love your homies doesn't mean like you're gonna like sleep with them. 00:43:05 Speaker 2: What the fuck? Like, what are we talking about here? This is ridiculous. 00:43:08 Speaker 4: If you do, who cares? 00:43:09 Speaker 2: And there you go. 00:43:10 Speaker 5: That's also that it's really not a problem nobody cares anymore. 00:43:16 Speaker 4: It's truly just not an issue for anyone. 00:43:18 Speaker 5: Yes, it's not an issue anywhere, and that's it's not an issue from anyone. 00:43:22 Speaker 2: And that's what I'm trying to like deliver to them. But you know, they got they got their family, right. 00:43:29 Speaker 5: I don't want to use that term, but I get yeah, you know toxic, you know mentality, taxic, mentality of goes back generation generation. It's just it's just stupid. But anyway, Yeah, the best thing I do is like, yeah, pay for my homies meal or something like that. 00:43:44 Speaker 4: Buy them a pair of socks. 00:43:46 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, that would not do that to them. I want you to try that. I feel like this is the training wheels for you. You gave me a pair of socks. 00:43:55 Speaker 3: Now one of your friends to deal with it. 00:44:00 Speaker 2: Yep is he is already ad your dough. Baby. 00:44:02 Speaker 4: If that's a problem for you, then I'm sorry. 00:44:05 Speaker 5: I need to walk away because they always have this non spoken energy, not even languages, non spoken energy, Like the fuck is this? 00:44:13 Speaker 2: Like you could have bought me waffles, bro, Like the fuck? 00:44:18 Speaker 5: Like, nah, man, you take them fucking socks and I'm walking away. 00:44:24 Speaker 3: I think it's it'll be a valuable lesson for both of you. I mean, I feel like everyone just needs to be better at receiving gifts. Everyone needs to be better at gifting. I think we're all kind of just trained to treat each other like garbage at all times. 00:44:35 Speaker 2: Do you hear me? 00:44:36 Speaker 5: It's this, it's this toxic you know, patriarchy, slash supremacy, all that raises, all that and combined into one huge discussing ball that it really laid the foundation of people's well, you know, the people that raised us raised them before. 00:44:56 Speaker 2: So it really takes a lot of your. 00:44:58 Speaker 5: Energy to denounce the people who raise you, who love you, love you, quote quote I said, and really be independent. And I'm not gonna lie. It does feel lonely, but it does feel free. 00:45:13 Speaker 3: Well, I think you break the cycle with a beautifully wrapped gift from sex fifth Avenue. There we go, spent thousands on a friend to try to experiment. Yeah, I think that's totally fair. Do you have any other socks like I? 00:45:29 Speaker 1: Did? 00:45:29 Speaker 2: Anybody get you socks before I have? 00:45:31 Speaker 3: I actually, uh, last like a couple months ago at this point, I got six pairs of just black socks that are just like you know, very from SuChin Pak who is wonderful. She sleeps in them and she was encouraging me to sleep in these socks, which I've done and it's been fantastic. I'm also wearing them around the house. 00:45:50 Speaker 2: I love that. 00:45:52 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got I don't throw away socks, and so I'm like a lot of my socks are garbage at. 00:45:57 Speaker 4: This point, so I need to start clink through. 00:46:00 Speaker 5: I got socks and underwear that they're like, you can, you can let these go, but I'm like underwear, I wear it under so nobody sees it. So what are we talking about here? Like why are you gonna make me go spend? That might sound it's coming, it's given cheap, right, but it's like why I have it? I think I'm trying to be a millennium. What's that millennial list?

I just don't need you to feel like you have to run and see the tassel fly. 00:47:02 Speaker 3: Well, I think that's my only option at the spin, doing that or wearing them with a tuxedo. The true things I'll do with these socks. 00:47:11 Speaker 2: That's true.

Go listen to his albums, you know, watch him on TV, share his content, do what you need to do. But in the meantime, we're gonna play the game. This is called gift or a curse. This is how it works. I'm gonna name three things. You're gonna tell me if they're a gift or a curse and why, and then I'm going to tell you if you're right or wrong because there are correct answers. So, I mean, you could get you know, you could completely fail the game, humiliate yourself, shame your family. 00:50:13 Speaker 2: That's already done. 00:50:14 Speaker 3: But I hope that doesn't happen. I'm I am on your side, believe it or not. 00:50:19 Speaker 4: Okay. 00:50:20 Speaker 3: Number one gifter a curse rooftop chases. So this is when someone is chasing another person across a roof You know, like in a movie, someone's fleeing from another force, you know, Manhattan Skyline, this kind of thing. 00:50:37 Speaker 2: Rooftop chaser. 00:50:39 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like the hero of the Look, it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. One person is being chased by one, two, let's say twenty other people. Maybe a helicopter's chasing them. 00:50:54 Speaker 5: Got you all right? So, uh, somebody is on the rooftop being chased. Is that a gift or a curse? 00:51:03 Speaker 2: That feels. 00:51:06 Speaker 5: That definitely feels like a curse. I mean the rooftop vibe is just chill or drinking. And we're looking at the view. Why are we running? Why am I using my shoes to sprint? Why am I sweating when we should be looking at the views above us? Like, what is the hurry? Whether it's the urgency, this is a curse, Leave me the fuck alone. Once you got off that elevator that said RF. 00:51:35 Speaker 2: Leave all your worries behind you. 00:51:37 Speaker 5: So you brought your drama up top to the to the thirty sixth floor. 00:51:43 Speaker 2: Look the fuck out, Look what's out? Look? 00:51:44 Speaker 5: Look at that view, look at the sunshine, or even look at the night, the stars. But you brought your drama up Yeah, it's a fucking curse. Man, leave me alone. 00:51:54 Speaker 3: Nor you're completely wrong. Rooftop chasers, God, gift, are you kidding me? Chase, romance, the excitement. Some of us don't have the luxury of just getting to hang out on the rooftop. Some of us are being chased by evil forces. I love a rooftop chase. I love to watch one someday. I would love to be involved in one, to be just you know, kind of leaping from roof to roof, you know, rolling eventually getting to my escape vehicle. 00:52:23 Speaker 4: What a thrill, A gift to be soon gift. 00:52:27 Speaker 5: That thing is like the Recent Matrix, where like it was a rooftop shootout and then that's where we spoiler people. That's where we discovered the love and how you know from Neo and Trinity. That was all rooftop and that was to me that still it was a gift within that movie. 00:52:46 Speaker 4: It was okay, But coming. 00:52:48 Speaker 2: Around, Tom, we're talking wrong. 00:52:50 Speaker 3: I would love to see a rooftop chase in a wrong com Tom Hanks chasing Meg Ryan across a roof hilarious. 00:52:58 Speaker 4: Okay, let's get into it. 00:53:00 Speaker 2: I was wrong on that one, all right. 00:53:01 Speaker 3: Own one let's go on. Okay, number two, this is a listener suggestion. Gift a curse doubles and let's give credit to the listener, Amanda. 00:53:11 Speaker 2: Shout out, Amanda. 00:53:12 Speaker 3: We love you, Amanda. We love your suggestion, or we might not. We'll find out very soon. Gift you a curse double stick tape. 00:53:21 Speaker 5: Yeah that now when you get double stick tape, which is definitely ah man, I want yeah, cause you'll get double stick tape and then you're like, you'll use it for like a picture frame, So we always buy that item. 00:53:40 Speaker 2: Why am I so negative? 00:53:41 Speaker 5: I feel like I'm negative, but I feel like when I buy the item, I use it for the most heaviest shit that I shouldn't be using it for. 00:53:49 Speaker 2: And then I gotta go. 00:53:50 Speaker 5: Call Gorilla, and Gorilla's like, I know what you try to do. Just rub me on the side and I'll take care of it. I like arts and crafts. Light stuff, it's a gift. If you're hanging up heavy ship, it's a curse. So I think I'm gonna go with what I know is like it's it's it's a curse because it's never good for heavy stuff. 00:54:16 Speaker 2: You know. It's Yeah, you. 00:54:18 Speaker 5: Gotta you gotta do the double stick velcrow. That's a gift, but the tait it don't hang up what you wanted to hang you got it. I despise double stick tape. I've never had a good experience with double double stick. It's making my fingers feel weird. It's not doing the job that I promised. It's like, yeah, you can't play both sides of the fence, baby, no, once I got to be nothing. 00:54:42 Speaker 2: The other side is like. 00:54:43 Speaker 5: This is the other season a visa a visa Wait, oh shit, help me, this is a word. 00:54:49 Speaker 4: I have no idea where you're going. Thank you, he adhesive, thank you. 00:54:56 Speaker 5: That there you go. Sorry, that's the jamison.

Yeah, so yeah, it's you're right. 00:55:22 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. 00:55:23 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just I think we need to leave it behind, leave it in the past. I feel like we tried, like there was the promise of double stick tape and it didn't live up to anyone's expectations. 00:55:33 Speaker 4: Let's get rid of it. 00:55:34 Speaker 3: No, thank you, true let's do it, all right, So you've got one out of two so far, and now this is the final one, so. 00:55:40 Speaker 2: Be very careful here we go. 00:55:43 Speaker 3: This is so, let's say, gift or a curse seven layer dip seven layer dip. 00:55:51 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, totally a fucking curse. 00:55:56 Speaker 2: Too much going on? 00:55:58 Speaker 5: Yeah, I need all right, hold on, I need a real quick I need a picture of that because I need to know exactly what they put in this motherfucker.

It's disgusting, and I think. 00:56:34 Speaker 2: People bored at parties. 00:56:36 Speaker 5: Maybe this is I feel like a deep seven layer dip is a cry from the wife who husband watches too much football and she's just like trying to get attention. So it's like, how can I make something that's disgusting that he'll see me? So now it's depressing. So yeah, that's a crop of hell. Anybody got a seven layer dip, Calm down, bring it, bring it small, or get out of there, get a divorce, Get out of there. He's not he's not worth it, or she's not worth it.

Then there's cheese, chili, lettuce, tomato olives. 00:58:04 Speaker 2: Is that it? 00:58:04 Speaker 6: Yeah? 00:58:05 Speaker 4: I guess some of those layers are just fully unnecessary, like they all have. 00:58:10 Speaker 3: I ain't trying to convert you. I'm just saying you're not going to There's no chance you're gonna convert me. I have this like once every seven years. 00:58:18 Speaker 2: Okay, that sounds about right. 00:58:20 Speaker 3: You know, I'll run into it at a super Bowl party or something.

It's like a whole brand. Nah, I'm good, bro. 00:58:48 Speaker 3: Next time you see one of those at some party, I want you to take a chip and give it a shot. I mean, but it has to be right after they've like put it down. If it's been sitting there for six hours, is probably getting a little wet, getting a little nasty, which look not not an ideal situation. You wanted those layers to be on their own. 00:59:09 Speaker 2: But I'm gonna tell you right now. Google images is on your side. I see it.

This thing is falling apart. 01:06:30 Speaker 2: I know that worries. 01:06:32 Speaker 5: I know that I have a car where it's like I should have been let it go. The money I paid to fix it is another car, you know. But then you gotta go do someone's trouble and go get a new one and finally make sure it's not a lemon. So I am a Samantha is like, hey, uncle, keep fixing it, thank you. I just need to get where I need to go. I need to get the A to B.

You think this mechanic is in his fifties, and. 01:07:17 Speaker 3: It sounds like he's in his forties, so he probably already owns, for example, like a grill. I mean, if not, he opens the front door and there's a giant grill sitting there, he's gonna freak out. 01:07:31 Speaker 2: Give him a fucking bag of coal. It's over. 01:07:36 Speaker 4: Charcoal briquettes. 01:07:37 Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone should be getting charcoal briquettes. 01:07:41 Speaker 2: It's just the one. I don't need light of fluid.
