1
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear.

2
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: But you're a guess to my home.

3
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: You gotta come to be empty. And I said, no guests,

4
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: your presences, presents, and I already had too much stuff,

5
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: So how did you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 3: Welcome to, I said, no gifts. I'm Richard Winecker had

7
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: quite a last couple of days. I'm just gonna reveal

8
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: that I had a piece of floss stuff and my

9
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 3: permanent retainer, and it was touch and go for a minute.

10
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: I bought a different type of loss to try to

11
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: remove it, and that didn't work. But I finally was

12
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: able to get rid of that. And now I'm just

13
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: going to keep living with this curse of a permanent

14
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: retainer that's been in my mouth for twenty years. But

15
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: I'm going to put all of that aside for the

16
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: next hour or so because I'm ready to welcome my

17
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: wonderful guest, the very very funny Soesier Zameida. Hello, welcome to.

18
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: I said, no gifts. Welcome to my kitchen.

19
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: Oh it's so nice.

20
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: How are you?

21
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: I'm good. I actually had a permanent retainer fall out.

22
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: Oh well, good for you. How long had it been

23
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: in there.

24
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: It was there.

25
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: Oh man, I probably like twelve years or something like that.

26
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 4: And then I guess the plaster, I don't know, how

27
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 4: do they keep it wax or whatever.

28
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some literal cement they've got in your team.

29
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: The cement, I guess, eroded and it just like, this

30
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: is a wire hanging out of my mouth.

31
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: One day, I just ripped it out and I was like,

32
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 2: I guess it's done.

33
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: Wait, so now you're just living life free of the

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: of the retainer.

35
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: Well, no, they made I got a bottom retainer that

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: you can just put in there.

37
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: Oh like at night, yes, okay, so you know.

38
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: Nothing's happening in the day. By night, I sleep with

39
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: a retainer.

40
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: Okay, this is good to know because doctor Nancy, my dentist,

41
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: recommended this to me a couple of visits ago. But

42
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: it seemed like something I was a little wary of.

43
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: But now I know somebody who's done it, and it

44
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: seems like it's working. I've got to get rid of

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: this thing.

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: Just get rid of it. It's also just weird that

47
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 4: it's there. It's like supposed to be there for the

48
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: rest of your life.

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: I'm buried, but this thing. This isled. Yeah, it was

50
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: like ninth grade they put it in, especially up.

51
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 4: With all the like food and bacteria it's encountering every year.

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: It's like, so this just stays.

53
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a terrible idea. It seems like something from

54
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: the Middle Ages or something.

55
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: It's I probably is.

56
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: Well, next time I get to go to the dentist,

57
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: which will probably be thirty years from now, I'm gonna

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 3: have that removed. So did you have braces?

59
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 2: I did?

60
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: I did from I think seventh grade to ninth grade.

61
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: Oh, like the end of seventh grade to begin ninth grade.

62
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: We're Brace's twins. Then we both went through that period

63
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: of our lives decked out in braces.

64
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: Ain't it fun?

65
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 4: Oh?

66
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: It was a true joy. If I don't remember that much,

67
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: I do remember the first night I got the braces,

68
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: my family went out to Chili's for dinner, and I

69
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: remember ordering some sort of Southwestern pasta that I thought was,

70
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: you know, very sophisticated. But I can still take that.

71
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: I can taste that pasta and imagine my aching teeth.

72
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: Oh gosh.

73
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, braces were a terrible time.

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 4: And I remember my I would have a wire that

75
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 4: like sometimes didn't get cut whenever I get my whenever

76
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: you go back to get at and sometimes the wire

77
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: would be like too far back in my mouth and

78
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: like poke my cheek. Oh, then I like go back

79
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: there and they had to like cut it again.

80
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: That seems dangerous. What was this orthodox? Yeah? I don't know,

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: just fast and loose with your teeth.

82
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: Just like all right, you're good, I have like wired

83
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: is poking out of my lips.

84
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: Did you get different colors of elastic bands?

85
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: I did, feeling I got green and pink one time,

86
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: like alternating, right or like.

87
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I just want to have like fun.

88
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: With my something, to have some level of enjoyment. Do

89
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: people still get braces or is it all? Are we

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 3: just doing in visil line at this point, it.

91
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 4: Does seem like like even teens are getting in visiline right,

92
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 4: which it's also just a weird thing that looks like

93
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 4: you just have like a film covering right your teeth.

94
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: I mean I think that the brace is being a

95
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: more visible thing almost is better because it's just like

96
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: you're not hiding anything.

97
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: Just good.

98
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

99
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: With the mizzle line, you're like, is something wrong? What's

100
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 4: going on in there? And then with Bracy're like, oh

101
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: they're braceist.

102
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: Yes, I can see exactly what's happening in your mouth,

103
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: and now I'm comfortable. Okay, well this is good news

104
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 3: about the retainer, Thank god, because I've got to get

105
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: rid of this thing. It's I feel like that's sort

106
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 3: of a bionic man or something machine. Oh it's torture.

107
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.

108
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: Well what have you been up to? You've so, I

109
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: mean I met you recently in person. Yeah, from a

110
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: safe distance, and uh, you know, the world's insane, but yeah,

111
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: you I think when I came over you had just

112
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: been meditating. Is that something you're doing it to day?

113
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been doing I learned transcendental meditation right before

114
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 4: quarantine started.

115
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: Oh what a blessing.

116
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: Truly, like, I didn't know this was going to happen.

117
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: But I'm so glad that the time it worked out

118
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 4: that I finished my program and then oh, I'm now

119
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 4: home trying to be.

120
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: So. Yeah, were you going to classes? Were you doing

121
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: it online classes?

122
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

123
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: You have to go to four sessions in a row

124
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 4: and they just teach you how to do it, and

125
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 4: you do it in person and then they're like, okay,

126
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 4: we trust you go go forth and wow, transcend and

127
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: you do it twice a day, twenty minutes each time,

128
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: every day, and then like there's some days where I

129
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: don't before I only get one in or you're a

130
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: human being, yeah, which is nice because they emphasize that.

131
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: They're like, you don't have to feel bad. Honestly.

132
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: The instructor said something that I really loved, which was like,

133
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: even if you get in the shall end.

134
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: Of the pool, you still get wet. Oh, so it's like,

135
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: n it's nice.

136
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 4: I was like, even if I meditated and it was

137
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 4: only ten minutes or I didn't get as deep as

138
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 4: I wanted to, I still did it.

139
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: Right, right? And so what were these classes? What was

140
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 3: happening in these classes? What are exactly are they teaching

141
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 3: us it? Breathing techniques? Is it?

142
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: Honestly, they teach you the technique, but it is mostly

143
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 4: the students being.

144
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: Like, am I doing this right?

145
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: And they're like yeah, yeah you are, and they're like okay,

146
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: but I feel like this and people and they're like, yeah,

147
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 4: that's that's how you're suposed to feel, and they're like okay,

148
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 4: but is that right?

149
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: Truly? That's like most you're just a lot of.

150
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: People asking am I doing this correctly?

151
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: Because it is strange, like I've never like I've tried

152
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: meditating before on my own.

153
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: And I've done like apps and stuff, right, but so

154
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: this is a.

155
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: Different, uh version where it's like it's it's you. It's

156
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: like you don't have anything, you know, the music, you

157
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 4: don't have anyone guiding you or anything. And so I

158
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 4: think most people don't trust themselves and they're like, I

159
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: can't be doing this right.

160
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: I can't.

161
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: Of course, it can't be this simple. And then the

162
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 4: instructors are like, yeah, that's you're doing it right. You're

163
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 4: doing what you're supposed to be doing.

164
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: So I mean I've done a little bit of the

165
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: app thing, but mostly just to bore myself into falling

166
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: into to sleep for naps or that sort of yeah,

167
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: because they're like, you need to be sitting up during this,

168
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: and every time I disobey that, I lie down in

169
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: bed and just let it. The Australian man lulled me

170
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: to sleep. What like, what are you doing that's different

171
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: from that thing? Because I know that's like hounding your

172
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: breaths and focusing on breath this sort of thing.

173
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: Well, you have a mantra.

174
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 4: Oh, and you're given one specifically from your instructor, like individually,

175
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 4: and it's a secret you're supposed to tell people.

176
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: And then you have to sit up.

177
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 4: You can't have your head like resting on anything in

178
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: case you fall asleep.

179
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: I guess.

180
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, I supposed to just like be floating and

181
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: close your eyes.

182
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 2: You kind of like.

183
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 4: Clear your mind for a minute. Then you go through

184
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 4: your mantra. And that's kind of it.

185
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: And is a mantra a certain amount of syllables.

186
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 4: I think they have different syllables. I don't know how many.

187
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 4: I honestly don't know anyone else's mantras.

188
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: I don't even know how many syllables there.

189
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: Have, is how many I have? And sometimes it morphs

190
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 4: or just sounds kind of sounds. It might be a

191
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 4: word that means something, but like I don't know, I

192
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: don't know what I mean.

193
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

194
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 3: I'm just going to keep asking until I know what

195
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: your mom, Troy.

196
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: Is, I'll tell much. It's cool because like, I, have

197
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: you ever done a deprivation tank?

198
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: I have.

199
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did one once, which was.

200
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 4: I shouldn't have done it this day because I had

201
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 4: to do I like a meeting right after, and I

202
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 4: was in the tank and it was one of those

203
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 4: salt water ones, right and I had to take a

204
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 4: shower to like get all the salts out of my

205
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: hair afterwards.

206
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: And I don't know if my tank was.

207
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: Broken or what, but like it didn't beep or like

208
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: it didn't wake me up when I was supposed to

209
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 4: be woke it up.

210
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: So I got out of there like ten minutes later

211
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: than I was supposed to do.

212
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 4: I was like fuck, and I had like shower quickly,

213
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 4: and then I still have salt in my hair and

214
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 4: I'm like driving quickly down the inter state trying to

215
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 4: shake salt out of my hair and then just like

216
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 4: canceled the meeting. Anyway, the tank was great and the

217
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 4: floating sensation, like it was so cool because he felt weightless, right,

218
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: like just like floating there in the dark. And that

219
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: is how I feel during TM. That's how I feel

220
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 4: like when I'm meditating. Yeah, I feel like this floating

221
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 4: even though I'm I know I'm grounded. I know I'm

222
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 4: touching the couch and I'm sitting down, but I do

223
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 4: feel a very like weightless energy happening.

224
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: It seems like a money saving opportunity. You're no longer

225
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 3: paying for a deprivation tank.

226
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: It's true. I just do it at home.

227
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: The deprivation tank was such a weird experience because you know,

228
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: you like the water is basically your body temperature. There's

229
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 3: no light, you can't see anything, there's no sound, and

230
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 3: you're in there for how long, like three hours or something.

231
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 3: I think I was in there for like an hour.

232
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: Maybe I was kidnapped. Okay, let's say an hour. That

233
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: does seem more reasonable. If I was in there for

234
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: three hours, then that was a different situation.

235
00:10:59,240 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: You're being cooked.

236
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 3: It was in an instant pot for three hours and

237
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 3: I had to escape. No, but it is like this

238
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: weird period of life that's just like kind of doesn't

239
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: exist in your memory. Like the memory is just this

240
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: darkness that you're just in for a long period, and

241
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: then you get out and you felt kind of nothing.

242
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 3: You were just floating. It's incredible.

243
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

244
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: And it's also the one I went to was like

245
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: it almost in like this basement. It felt like a

246
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: like a Charlie Kaufman like Eternal Sunshine sort of situation.

247
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 3: So kind of a nice lobby and then you go

248
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 3: in and suddenly you're like in a submarine tank. I

249
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 3: think everyone needs to experience this at least once. My

250
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: friend who I went with, you know, you're in separate things,

251
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 3: she bailed part way through. I got out and left,

252
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: and she was nowhere to be found.

253
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: So you're scared or something.

254
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: I think she got anxious, which you can't blame somebody

255
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 3: because you are basically trapped in a just pitch black tube.

256
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 3: But you know, I was betrayed if I was left

257
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: in a dangerous situation.

258
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is the thing happened to you?

259
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: What?

260
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: Have you drowned?

261
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 3: Right?

262
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 2: She's done?

263
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: Who's going to take my dead wet body to the

264
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: Mork if not my friend? Oh jeez, Well I'm glad

265
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 3: to hear you've tried that too. I mean that's it's

266
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 3: almost like a mini quarantine. Maybe that's that was prep,

267
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: just not experiencing the outside world.

268
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, really, social distancing from everyone?

269
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: Right? What is your social distancing bend for this? Have

270
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 3: you been pretty on top of it or you?

271
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 4: When this started, I was truly like, I am at home,

272
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 4: I'm seeing no one. But also I am an introvert

273
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 4: and I get socially anxious. So I've been thriving like

274
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 4: I do.

275
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: Like being home. I don't have a problem saying no

276
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 2: to events. So I was like, this is great. I'm

277
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 2: just gonna be home and no one's expecting me to

278
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: be anywhere. I love it.

279
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 3: That's a dream.

280
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

281
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 4: But I have been like wanting more people, so I've

282
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 4: been doing like park hangs where it's like I'm on

283
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 4: my blanket, you're on your blanket.

284
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 2: We have masks on. Yeah. It is strange.

285
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that first the initial like seeing another person

286
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 3: for me was well, it's still is like kind of

287
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 3: a shock to my system, especially for the first time.

288
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: The other day, I went to pick up some food

289
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: and saw a friend and she and I were a

290
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 3: safe distance away. We both had masks on, but I

291
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: had in addition to not sing or during quarantine. It

292
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 3: had probably been a year, and my social skills just

293
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 3: failed me on such a crazy I almost like wrote

294
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 3: her an apology because I was just like, what was

295
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: I saying? Why was I behaving that way? Yeah, but

296
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: it's because I've just been here with my dog and

297
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 3: my boyfriend, and those are the only people for I

298
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 3: guess they're either people or creatures I've seen for a while.

299
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: So it's I think there's gonna be some level of

300
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: rehabilitation when this is over.

301
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Like it's hard to think of what to talk

302
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 4: about or write or how to talk. Sometimes words don't

303
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 4: sound right coming out of my mouth, and I'm like,

304
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 4: what happened to me?

305
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? And there's just so little happening in our lives

306
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: that it's like there's nothing to update.

307
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: It's just like, yeah, I guess I'm still home. I

308
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: don't know.

309
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: And meanwhile, like the outside world, a ton of stuff

310
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: is happening. Yeah, it's this weird disconnect in your brain

311
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: where it's like a lot is going on. But for

312
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: me personally, what have I done? I made cookies and

313
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 3: cleaned the dishes, and.

314
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: So many dishes. I've never done this.

315
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 4: I don't because I don't think I'm like eating a ton,

316
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 4: but like I feel like I'm doing dishes all day.

317
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: Yes, it's wild, it's wild.

318
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 3: And this is just for like two people. I can't

319
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: imagine like a full family. I would lose my mind, Yeah,

320
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 3: I would would. I think I would get rid of

321
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 3: some of those kids, right, or turning up to dishwashers,

322
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, or you're just like dumping food directly

323
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: onto the table. That's where I would get.

324
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: Just build a trunk close.

325
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 3: I'm going to put some meatballs in here, and everybody

326
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: circle round something. I wanted to talk to you about

327
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: you at some point worked at Disney Worlds. Correct I did. Yeah,

328
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 3: you were like a costume character. I was.

329
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is in college during the it was the

330
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 4: Disney College program, Okay, and uh, you could have different positions,

331
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 4: like if you were studying hotel management or something, you

332
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 4: could work in the Disney.

333
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: Hotels and learn about that.

334
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 4: I'm a performer, so I auditioned to be a cast

335
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: member performer, and so I was a costume character.

336
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: I walked on stilts in Mickey's jam in Jungle Parade.

337
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 3: Were you in costume on stilts?

338
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, And there was like different You could be

339
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: a lizard.

340
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 4: I could be a porcupine, which no one wanted to

341
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 4: be a porcupine. That it was like a backpack with

342
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 4: spikes basically, and it was huge. Yeah, if you fell over,

343
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 4: like you were capsized for a while. I could be

344
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 4: a zebra. It was the only ones they remember, but yeah,

345
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 4: it was. It was fun because you're just like walking

346
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 4: down the street waving at kids, and I was like,

347
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, this super tall lizard.

348
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 3: Wait, had you been on stilts before? Was there like

349
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: a snails training program?

350
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: There was a training program which was really awesome.

351
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 4: There was just like if you want to take these classes,

352
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 4: you can, And I took a few classes and they had.

353
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: Or maybe they're called painter stilts. They're just like they were.

354
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: They were thick. They weren't like the stick oh pokey ones.

355
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 4: They had like like if you had good core strength

356
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 4: and balance, you could do it right and you just

357
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 4: had to like lift heavier.

358
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 3: Footwear okay, like a robot man or something like. Yeah.

359
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were like thick and metal, but not that

360
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: hard to walk in.

361
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 3: I think, have you been in stilts since?

362
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 4: Actually, after I graduated college, I lived in Maryland for

363
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 4: a few months because I was living with my stepmom,

364
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 4: and I think I saw on Craigslist or somewhere I

365
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 4: found this like circus group.

366
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: And as you do, people found a circus group on

367
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 3: Craigslist that we joined for a period.

368
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they had multiple classes and they had a

369
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 4: stilt walking class and they would make stilts according to

370
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 4: your leg side.

371
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: So they made wooden.

372
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 4: Stilts to fit my legs specifically, and then they teach

373
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 4: you how to tie it with a like a rope,

374
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 4: and then they teach you how to like lift off.

375
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 4: And so I learned even more advanced stilts, and then

376
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 4: like walked in a Halloween parade that year.

377
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 2: And I still have the stilts. They're like in my closet.

378
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 3: You've got to walk around Los Angeles in these.

379
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 2: I should. I haven't. I haven't broken them out eight years.

380
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: How tall are you when you have the stilts on?

381
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 4: Probably, uh, maybe eight feet? I think they're like three

382
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 4: feet tall and I'm five to seven.

383
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's insane.

384
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 3: I feel like we're not using stilts enough as this

385
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 3: as a society. I feel like, instead of line scooters,

386
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: they should just have stilts on the sidewalk and you

387
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: can rent them and walk around the city. I would.

388
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 3: I've never been on one of those scooters, but if

389
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 3: there was a pair of stilts outside my apartment, I

390
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 3: would be in them. I would be walking around the

391
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: grocery store, you know, actually being able to excesside on this.

392
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, it might be safer than the scooters

393
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 4: because at least you're everyone knows that I'll walk, so like,

394
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 4: and you will get there quicker because your legs are longer, exactly.

395
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 3: And literally right, no, just the most dangerous thing on

396
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 3: the planet.

397
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: Truly, or those bikes people just like like weaving in

398
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: and out of the road.

399
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 3: I'm realizing, I don't think I've seen one of those

400
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: scooters in a minute. Have they disappeared?

401
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: WHOA, I haven't seen it.

402
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: Oh maybe because of Corona, right, maybe this is one

403
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: of the very few benefits of Corona, as we get

404
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 3: rid of the scooters.

405
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: Of those damn scooters everywhere they're always like where they're

406
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: not supposed to be, like in the Interstate.

407
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 3: It's like who put that there? It's just like the

408
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 3: city is littered with scrap metal. It's crazy to me.

409
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 3: We've got to get away from those and if this

410
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: is the end of them, good riddance. I just saw

411
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: that the segu has been discontinued, which is a shame.

412
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 3: But I never get on got on a segue, and

413
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: I guess that's probably for the better. Again, stilts would

414
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 3: be better than a segue.

415
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 4: Is fun though, because because anyone can do it, he's

416
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 4: got lean forward a little bit and then you're like,

417
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 4: I'm traveling where were you on a segue?

418
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: Was this in Disney World?

419
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 4: Maybe it was I'm trying to think. I know, I know,

420
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 4: I've definitely been, but I'm having trouble remembering where I was.

421
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: It was another Craigslist group. Maybe it was a segu Wait,

422
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: so you were, Let's get back to Disney World for

423
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: a minute, because I've got questions. Yeah, yeah, you're in

424
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: this costume. Is it a thousand degrees in there? Yeah?

425
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: If people think that there's like fans inside the costumes,

426
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 4: there are not. So if it's like ninety degrees outside,

427
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 4: it's like one hundred and ten inside the casto.

428
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: How long are you in the costume for at a time?

429
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: Thirty minutes?

430
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 4: So like if you're outside, if I'm Pluto, right, I'm outside,

431
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 4: I talked to the kids, or I don't talk.

432
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 2: We don't talk at all.

433
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 5: This is where we learned gave Pluto a whole new character,

434
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 5: like what was Pluto is chatty Sharon Cots parisee theories. Actually,

435
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 5: all the costume characters. We could only make a kiss sound.

436
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: Like oh, I think it would be like I don't know, goodbye,

437
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: like hi, and then Pluto can make two noises. You

438
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: can do a kiss or you go slurring noise with.

439
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 4: This ton because his tongue was always hanging outside.

440
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: Of his mouth.

441
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: Only kiss and French kiss those Disney cannon.

442
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: Disney way.

443
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 4: So yeah, we could only interact with the kids for

444
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: thirty minutes, because I guess I'm sure they've done studies

445
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 4: where it's like that's how much a human body can

446
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 4: there can stays right, They're like an hour's too long,

447
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 4: and then and then there's another You have like a

448
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 4: double in the breakroom waiting to go, and then you

449
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 4: switch and then they're out there for thirty minutes and

450
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 4: you take a break and drink.

451
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 2: Water and cool off.

452
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: Wow, and this is like an eight hour work day?

453
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: What is this?

454
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: I feel like it wasn't even that long.

455
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 4: What did I I can't I honestly can't remember because

456
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 4: it was like two thousand and seven, But I feel

457
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: like it wasn't a full work day. But I think

458
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,239
Speaker 4: I also feel like I did multiple things during a day,

459
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 4: Like I did like this character for a couple hours

460
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 4: in this park, and then I did stilts in this

461
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 4: park for a couple hours, and I feel like it's

462
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 4: bounced around for a little bit.

463
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: Jeez, this seems intense, and it was intense. Would you

464
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: try to get into character or was it just like

465
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put on this stupid thing and make kissing noises.

466
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 3: That's what you're going to get out of me.

467
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 4: I definitely got into character, and I feel like everyone did.

468
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 4: They just they really pumped in the like Disney Pride

469
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 4: in our training and made you.

470
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 2: Feel like, yeah, I am bluedout and like.

471
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 4: And we all have to match too, so like we

472
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 4: have to learn the same, like arm movements and like

473
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 4: shaking hands in the same In the signature they alway

474
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 4: has to be saying because you don't want one kid

475
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 4: to compare their experience with another and be like, well,

476
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 4: my Pluto was pretty depressed.

477
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 3: That's when the fantasy starts to break down. Yeah, so

478
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: season two Peak behind the Curtain. Absolutely, that's crazy. I

479
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: can't imagine that. You know, six Flags has got the

480
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 3: same the same system going there.

481
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 4: No, I actually saw a headline saying six Flags is

482
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 4: going to open during the pandemic but not have any rides.

483
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: Well, because everyone knows that everybody's favorite part is walking

484
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: around the concrete at six Flags in blazing.

485
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I don't because I also don't remember the

486
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 4: Six Flag food to be like, so it's like, course,

487
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 4: I'm sure the food's average. There's no rides, and I

488
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 4: don't think they have shows. I don't think they have

489
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 4: like musical shows or like puppet shows. Maybe they do,

490
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 4: I don't know, but it seems like I've only gone

491
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 4: to Six Flags for the rise.

492
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, so this is just literally going to get

493
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 3: nachos and like stale funnel cakes. Yeah, it feels wild

494
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 3: to me. Well, I mean, god speed. I don't know

495
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 3: what to tell those, Paul certainly, Well, maybe I'll go

496
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 3: for the novelty at some point, because that seems be.

497
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 2: Nice to be like, what a weird dystopian event.

498
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: I do have a million other questions about disney World

499
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 3: and being a character, but there's something else I need

500
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: to talk about with you, and it's a sensitive subject. Obviously.

501
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: This podcast is called I Said No Gifts. It's got

502
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 3: a very clear directive. A couple days ago, I was

503
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 3: driving by your house. I stopped, I texted, and you

504
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: came outside holding a bag and you gave it to me.

505
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: And I didn't think that much of it, And on

506
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: the way home, I couldn't help myself. I looked in

507
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 3: the bag and there was what appears to be a

508
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: wrapt gift. Ye did you Is this a gift for me? Oh?

509
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I wrote on the bag for Bridger,

510
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: So it's for you.

511
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

512
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 3: Okay, Uh should I open it?

513
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's a gift to get open.

514
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: Okay, let me let me see what's inside here. So

515
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 3: it's inside a like a brown paper bag that says

516
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 3: for Bridger. So I guess that was my first hint.

517
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 3: And now we're opening it up and it's this beautiful

518
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 3: melon wrapped paper. I'm gonna I guess I'm going to

519
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: open it. I don't. I don't know that I have

520
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: any more choice. You've got me cornered. Wow. And this

521
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 3: is a good bo ribbon you've got tied on.

522
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 2: Oh thank you. Yeah. I take pride in my gift wrapping.

523
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: I've done it for my family for years.

00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: Oh are you Do you feel like you're a good rapper.

Speaker 2: I feel like I'm a really good rapper.

526
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm They good at like chucking the corners in

527
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 4: and making sure there's no excess paper.

528
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: How did you learn hmmm? I think just being a perfectionist.

529
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 3: They just kept trying and trying and trying. Yeah, okay,

530
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 3: well okay, I've got I'm put the microphone down. I'm

531
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 3: holding it like I'm hosting a game show here. But

532
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 3: in order to open the gift, I need two hands.

533
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 3: You might need scissors.

534
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, don't be delicate. You look really great, Bridgerie.

535
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: This is that's perfect.

536
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 3: This is ah. I said no gifts first, which means

537
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: I've had to bring in a tool to open the

538
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 3: whoa what scissors? So sheer has has forced me to

539
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 3: open with scissors, which is just wild. That's a good

540
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: gift wrap. Okay. Oh I should get some gift unwrapping

541

548
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,720

549
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 3: called decorative dogs coloring for everyone, and it looks like

550
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 3: it's a oh and I'm just going to read everything

551
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 3: here first. It's coloring for everyone collection. So this it

552
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 3: works for me because I need something that's for everybody.

553
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 3: It's also a fun anti stress coloring book. So sheer,

554
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: do you do a lot of coloring?

555
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 2: I do. I do a lot of coloring.

556
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 3: I feel like a great pandemic activity.

557
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 2: Yes. Absolutely. I colored when I was a kid.

558
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 4: Kids did, right, But then I continued it into college

559
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: and that was like my de stressor and from studying

560
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 4: and stuff like that.

561
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 3: Right, So in college, what sort of were you going

562
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 3: out and buying coloring books or were you just I

563
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 3: was like any favorites or any categories.

564
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 4: I think at that point in time, it was like

565
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 4: whatever was near the cash register, like Target or something.

566
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 4: It's like whatever's close. I do think I had like

567
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 4: a Disney Princess coloring book.

568
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's fifty percent of the market is

569
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 3: Disney Princess coloring books, truly.

570
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 4: But yeah, I didn't really matter what I was coloring,

571
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 4: but just the activity of completing a picture and having

572
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 4: it look nice.

573
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 2: Right, And I didn't have to really try.

574
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not drawing anything. All I'm doing is

575
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 4: keeping it inside the lines. Just feel so satisfying.

576
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it is kind of like an ASMR

577
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 3: type activity that's like just pleasant all the way through. Now, yeah,

578
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 3: you say you're a perfectionist. So I feel like there

579
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 3: are people who do coloring books and they stay true

580
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: to what the image needs to look like. And then

581
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 3: there's someone like me. I maybe it's just because I'm

582
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 3: bad at it, but will just color in all sorts

583
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: of things snoopy will end up being neon green, this

584
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 3: sort of what category do you fall into?

585
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 4: Do you think I was in the category of, like,

586
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 4: these colors should be accurate, right, And then there was

587
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 4: a concerted effort to go outside the bounds, to be like,

588
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 4: be a little looser. You don't have to be so

589
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 4: strict about a coloring book, like make it green.

590
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: Who cares? You know, Like this guy doesn't have to

591
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: be blue, make it orange. So I, yeah, it's it

592
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: took a while. Now I feel more at ease being

593
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: like all the colors are good, I can use whatever.

594
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that pull. I mean I think I

595
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 3: think coloring books are good that way, where it's like

596
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 3: you there's a fence that keeps you in, so you

597
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 3: know things are under control, but you can experiment within

598
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 3: those bounds. It's not like a white piece of paper

599
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 3: where absolutely where I'll just be a disaster. Are you

600
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 3: Were you much of an artistic person growing up or

601
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: was that?

602
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? Very much so. I was in my ap art

603
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: classes in high school, Thank you so much.

604
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 4: The test, Yeah, I did, and my instructor actually wanted

605
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 4: me to apply to an art school.

606
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: Oh no, we continue.

607
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 4: But I I knew I was more of a performer

608
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 4: than a visual artist, and I wish I kept with

609
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 4: it because I, like, you know, it's a tactile skill,

610
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 4: so like we.

611
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: Don't practice it, you can kind of lose it.

612
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 4: So I can draw better than the average Joe, but

613
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 4: I can't. I definitely can't do what I used to

614
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 4: do when I was younger.

615
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 3: Sure, what does the ap ART test look like? What

616
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 3: are what are you doing in that?

617
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: What did we do?

618
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 3: I think?

619
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, I think we just did. Oh

620
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: I think we had a portfolio. Maybe this someone analyzed?

621
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I think so.

622
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 4: I think it was like an accumulation of your work

623
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 4: over time, oh interest, as opposed to like you're in

624
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 4: a room and you're dropping.

625
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: Oh that's interesting. I don't think that they even offered

626
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: APR at my high school, but they didn't offer a

627
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: lot of things, so that wouldn't come as too much

628
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 3: of a surprise. Okay, So you up until the end

629
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 3: of high school you were kind of doing visual art,

630
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 3: and then you threw away your dream.

631
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: I did for another dream for acting and singing and performing.

632
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, is there any interest in getting back into visual arts,

633
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: you know, trying to combine it with performance, or is

634
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 3: it's just too much of it. I'm now trying to

635
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: give you some extra thing to do in life. Who cares?

636
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 4: No, I always I'm myself. I'm trying to give myself

637
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 4: extra things. I you know, when I was in New

638
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 4: York and I was always in the train, I would

639
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 4: like write jokes into a notepad and stuff, and I

640
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 4: was like, I just carry another notepad and draw on it.

641
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 2: And I never did.

642
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 4: I maybe did it once, and I was like, this sucks,

643
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 4: and I just abandoned the idea completely. And I also

644
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 4: want to get back into the and get back into

645
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: the violin and get back into the piano, and like,

646
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 4: there's like so many things I want to do that

647
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 4: are not they don't actually relate to my career, or

648
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 4: not that they don't relate to my career.

649
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 2: I could incorporate them.

650
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: Somehow, but I just just like I don't know it's

651
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: working right now, so why bother?

652
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

653
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 3: What I mean? Those things are all They also also

654
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 3: qualified kind of as hobbies, like do you have current

655
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 3: hobbies that are a little unrelated to your career or well.

656
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: I just bought some roller skates.

657
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: Oh man, you just always have to have something on

658
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 3: your feet. You've got to be on stillts skates. Where

659
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: are you roller skating?

660
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 4: I have a little courtyard outside my place that's just

661
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 4: like a fenced in sure plot of asphalt and then

662
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 4: long driveway too.

663
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: I haven't like.

664
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 4: Gone anywhere yet because I'm not I don't feel comfortable

665
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 4: enough to be like taking the streets.

666
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 3: Is this your first time roller skating?

667
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 4: I used to do as a kid all the time

668
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 4: and then like occasionally for like someone's birthday or something,

669
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 4: But as a full adult, no, I haven't like done

670
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 4: it regularly, and I definitely don't know any tricks or anything,

671
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 4: like I don't know how to skate backwards right.

672
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 2: Well that I want to be like really cool.

673
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 4: I want to look I want to go down the

674
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 4: street like twist it and turn in and jump in

675
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 4: and have people be like.

676
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: Look at that girl.

677
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 3: You know, well, rules getting such a crazy thing because

678
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 3: if you're not good at it, you look so unbelievably

679
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 3: awkward and in danger at all times. But if you

680
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 3: like can learn the skills and tricks, it's the most

681
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 3: amazing thing. Like I'll go to a roller rink around

682
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 3: here and I feel humiliated to be in roller skates

683
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: and with these other people who are like doing inhuman things.

684
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 3: It's wild.

685
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah, it's uh honestly kind of like improv.

686
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 4: Like when it's good, it's amazing, and then when it's bad,

687
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 4: it's like the worst the world.

688
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, bad improv truly, I think, I really do think

689
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 3: bad improv is as close as you can get to

690
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: like like a live version of somebody telling you their dream,

691
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 3: but it's an hour long where it's just like none

692
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 3: of the logic here adds up. I don't want to

693
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 3: be listening to this.

694
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 2: I'm sweating, but I don't know what any of these

695
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: people are. Yeah, exactly, but they don't get their references.

696
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: Is the best, So I guess roller skating or combine

697
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 3: the two that would be probably dangerous. Also fine, Okay,

698
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 3: so you're learning to roller skate, you I feel like

699
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 3: you make good use of your time.

700
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. I don't feel that way. Are

701
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 2: your days pretty structured?

702
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: No?

703
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 2: I mean I just.

704
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 4: Moved truly, as quarantine started, like March fifteenth, I moved,

705
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 4: and so most of my days have been like unpacking,

706
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 4: rearranging stuff, buying other furniture. And now I'm at the

707
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 4: point where I'm like, oh, I don't have much else

708
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 4: to do, so I guess I have to do work

709
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 4: or anything creative or yeah, so my days kind of

710
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 4: feel like very loose, other than like waking up and

711
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 4: doing meditation and then I eat breakfast and then after

712
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 4: that anything goes beautiful.

713
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 3: And wait, were you in New York prior to this

714
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 3: or have you been in La?

715
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: I've been in La for it'll be two years in August,

716
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: so yeah, I was in New York for nine years

717
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: and then moved here just in eighteen. And then, yeah,

718
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 2: I've been in LA.

719
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 3: Where were you in LA prior to your move?

720
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: I was in Silver Lake before okay, and now I'm

721
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 2: in Echo Park Okay, not that far.

722
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just a roller skates right away. Do now

723
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: back to the dog decorative dogs? You're not a pet owner,

724
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: are you?

725
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm not?

726
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 3: Do you animals?

727
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: I do. I had a dog growing up. I love dogs,

728
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: and but my.

729
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 4: My man, my partner, he's a cat person, okay, and

730
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 4: really wants to get two cats because they have to

731
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 4: have a friend. Apparently you can't just get one cat.

732
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 3: Yes, and it's kind of like recommended.

733
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm ambivalent to cats. I don't hate them, sure,

734
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 4: I have been around some really crazy cats. Like I

735
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 4: was house sitting for a friend and she had a

736
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 4: cat and she was like, oh, just use feeder, she'll

737
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 4: go to sleep.

738
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 2: Whatever.

739
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 4: This cat like screamed at me for hours when I

740
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 4: was trying to go to bed, and I jumped on

741
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 4: my chest and I was like, do you want to cuddle?

742
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: And it's just like staring at my face, being like, well,

743
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 2: you're not my you're not my owner. I don't know

744
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 2: who you.

745
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 4: Are, and then would just like run away, scream some more,

746
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 4: and I was like I had to leave.

747
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 2: I was like I can't. I'm sorry, I can't take

748
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 2: care of your house or your cat.

749
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 4: This cat is insane, but of course the owner doesn't

750
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 4: know that because the cat's being on its best behavior

751
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 4: when the owner.

752
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: Is there, nothing but sweetness around the owner.

753
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then seeing another friend's house, well when they

754
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 4: weren't there. And the cat, because this cat opens doors

755
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 4: like it would jump and like pull the handle and

756
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 4: would just be like hello, and I'm.

757
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 2: Like, no, you can't just come in here.

758
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 4: And then if you lock the door, it would scratch

759
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 4: at the door and yell, and I was like, all right,

760
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 4: I guess you had to leave the doors open, so

761
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 4: just freely walk in and out. So I and so

762
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 4: I've seen more crazy cats than I have crazy dogs, right,

763
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 4: And so I don't but I hoping if we do

764
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 4: get cats that they'll.

765
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 2: Just like us. Yeah, cut us.

766
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 3: That is kind of people's experience with cats, where it's

767
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 3: like you because cats are dogs are so much more.

768
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 3: I want to be friends with everyone, and cats are

769
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 3: like only the people I know I want to be

770
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: friends with.

771
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 2: So honestly is my personality, right, So you might you.

772
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 3: Might learn that this is you'll really have something in

773
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 3: common with these cats when the time comes. And have

774
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 3: you started looking for cats or is this all early on?

775
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: This is still very early. And I kind of put

776
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 2: it on him.

777
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 4: I was like, you want these cats, so you figure

778
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 4: out where what kind we're getting, where they're coming from?

779
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 3: Well, you he should at least give you some options.

780
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 3: I think you have final say. He brings, you know,

781
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: the a batch of photos, the cat headshots, and then

782
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 3: you get to the final call, because otherwise you're gonna

783
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 3: feel too You're gonna feel disconnected from them or something.

784
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 2: Right, it's a cat saying call.

785
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 3: This podcast is over. I'm deleting the audio file and

786
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 3: I'm going to destroy your career. No, that was absolutely

787
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 3: called for. And I feel like that maybe is a

788
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 3: television series. Maybe that's oh my god, how that? Yeah?

789
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 3: Have you ever worked with the showbiz cat. I don't

790
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: think so. No.

791
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 4: I did do a pilot with a dog that was

792
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 4: super cute, had hardly anything to do. All I had

793
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 4: to do was like lay in a bed in this

794
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 4: pretend coffee shop, and it kept getting up.

795
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 2: It kept just like getting up and walking wherever.

796
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 3: It wanted to.

797
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 2: And we were like, you have one job. Just laid

798
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 2: out the easiest show the ald.

799
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 3: So we all wanted to, but it.

800
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 2: Was like and then we had to cut the dog.

801
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 2: The dogs had to go completely.

802
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 3: These Hollywood dreams were dashed. Yeah, shame. Showbiz animals are

803
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 3: very odd to me. I've worked with one show biz

804
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 3: cat and I think that may be it, But I mean,

805
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 3: the trainers are always interesting. It's always just a situation

806
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 3: that's beyond my whole comprehension. But you know, bless those

807
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 3: animals for out there making the money. Yeah, I don't

808
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: know what to tell. Okay, well, I'm going to get

809
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 3: to coloring this book. Oh maybe I'll share some on

810
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 3: the Instagram at some point to show people my lacking

811
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 3: dog skills. But I'm seeing I mean, I'm seeing some

812
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 3: There's a for example, a dog dressed as a small

813
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 3: girl holding a purse. Just wildly confusing. But this really

814
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 3: covers all of the categories of dogs, from realistic dogs

815
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 3: to abstract dogs to dogs as little girls. So this

816
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 3: could be a whole world for me during the next

817
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 3: few months. I'm very excited.

818
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: Do you ever dress your dog up as a oh,

819
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: a little girl?

820
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 3: I don't. I dress her up as a beautiful woman.

821
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 3: I uh. I found this in the lobby of our building.

822
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 3: Someone had left a giant pink sun hat, and immediately

823
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 3: it was like, I'm putting that on Eadie. She's gonna

824
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 3: wear the hat. She looked great in it, and so

825
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 3: okase she will put her on that. She's looking looking

826
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 3: at me right now because I said her name, trying

827
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 3: to leave her sleeping, because she'll come and bother me.

828
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 3: I've got a hundred wires and she'll trip over them.

829
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 3: But dressing up an animal, I don't know. I don't

830
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 3: know if it's a controversial opinion to take, but I

831
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 3: think a light costume on an animal is as good

832
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 3: as it gets. It's just so cute and that's funny.

833
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not constricting, and they're like, you know, right

834
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: in a full tux.

835
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, on like a bandage dress on the dog or

836
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: something you hat. I think a loose hat is always

837
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 3: good on a dog. Maybe a big t shirt. Cats

838
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 3: you run into I had years ago, and they did

839
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 3: not want to wear anything that a cat does not

840
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 3: want to be in a costume. I had a little

841
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 3: sailor costume. Those don't last a second and it just

842
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 3: makes the cat furious. So sure, But of course dogs

843
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 3: are a little bit more good natured, and I recommend

844
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 3: people put their dog in a costume from time to time.

845
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with that. Just make sure they're comfortable

846
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 3: and looking their best. You don't want to humiliate them.

847
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know what it's time to move

848
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 3: on to a game. Why don't we play games. We're

849
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 3: gonna play a game called I want to play Gift

850
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 3: or a Curse. Basically, what is going to happen is,

851
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to ask you for a number between one

852
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 3: and ten. You're gonna give me that number. I'm going

853
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 3: to calculate from a random list of things, three things

854
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 3: that you're going to tell me if they're a gift

855
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 3: or a curse and why so give me a number six.

856
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 3: Okay for the next who who knows how long I'm

857
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 3: going to calculate these things. You can promote something, you

858
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 3: can recommend something, you can say whatever you want. I'll

859
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 3: be right back.

860
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 2: Oh okay.

861
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 4: My social media handle is at the Sheer Truth at

862
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 4: thhe sher s h e Er Truth. And you can

863
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 4: watch my special Pizza Mind on Amazon. And you can

00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 4: watch this movie called The Weekend that is really great

Speaker 4: direct by Sala Meggie that's on Amazon and iTunes. And oh,

866
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 4: you listen to my podcast best Friends. I do a

867
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 4: podcast with my best friend of Cole Buyer, which is

868
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 4: really fun. And also you know, just like love each other.

869
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 4: Please be safe, Please wear a mask for God's sake

870
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 4: so we can get over this this hump and be

871
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 4: outside again.

872
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 3: So Shire that was a perfect use of that time.

873
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 3: It was both a public service announcement some promotion. That's

874
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 3: exactly what needs to happen in that time. Some people

875
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 3: don't handle it, you know, I do just throw them

876
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 3: off a cliff and say do what you need to do.

877
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 3: But you handled it perfectly, and I thank you. I've

878
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 3: got the three things that I have randomly selected, and

879
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 3: you've got to tell me if there're a gift or

880
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 3: a curse and why, and there are correct answers, and

881
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 3: I will let you know, so be careful.

882
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 2: Okay.

883
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 3: First up, coal slaw gift or a curse.

884
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say a curse because it's a cold, weird

885
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 4: slop and it doesn't add anything to a different thing,

886
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 4: like if you're putting on like a sloppy joe.

887
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 2: Or a sandwich or anything.

888
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 4: I honestly think it contrasts too much with the actual thing,

889
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 4: because the sandwich is hot, this thing is cold, the

890
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 4: sandwich is savory, the coal slaw is nasty. And it's

891
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 4: also just like a combination of things that I would

892
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 4: never put together like in any other situation.

893
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 2: Like mayonnaise and carrots and lettuce.

894
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 4: I just like, why if you want a salad, eat

895
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 4: a salad, why are you making this like tiny version

896
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 4: of of a soup of a salad soup?

897
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 3: So shere. Yeah, I hate to break it to you.

898
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 3: You're wrong, and I have to tell you why coalslaw

899
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 3: is and this is a recent discovery for me a gift. Now,

900
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 3: everything you just expressed, I have to say, other than

901
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 3: saying that it's a curse, is true. The coleslaw you

902
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 3: described as one of the most disgusting foods on the planet.

903
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 3: What are we doing putting cabbage and mayonnaise any I mean,

904
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 3: let's just break it down. Any salad that the first

905
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 3: color I see as white is not a salad. I

906
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 3: do not want mayonnaise sliming up my vegetables or my

907
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 3: macaroni or get that away from me. But I will

908
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 3: say I was recently asked I went to a socially

909
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 3: distant it's not a dinner party there were It was

910
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 3: my boyfriend and I had then another and we sat

911
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 3: six feet apart. But they asked if I would bring

912
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 3: a slaw. I said I would. I went to the

913
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 3: grocery store. Of course, every one of the coal saws

914
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 3: I had. There was dripping in mayonnaise, so I had

915
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 3: to make it myself. I had to look up a

916
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 3: recipe mayonnaise free. I found one. I made it. I

917
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,919
Speaker 3: chopped up the cabbage, I chopped up the carrots, the jalapeno,

918
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 3: the cilantro, threw them all together, some olive oil, a

919
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 3: little bit of vinegar. I couldn't believe that I actually

920
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 3: enjoyed eating it. It was a total gift. And the

921
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 3: reason it was a gift, it was a shock to

922
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 3: my system that I even liked Coleslaw. I didn't realize

923
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 3: that it was am I even describing Coleslaw at this point.

924
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 3: I don't know I'm describing a Slaw. But it was

925
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 3: very refreshing. I guess it was borderline just a cabbage

926
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 3: salad now that I'm describing it. But what I'm gonna

927
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 3: say here is if we can get away from the

928
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy through nineteen ninety eight, I feel like that's

929
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 3: the period coals of mayonnaise, coalslaw, terrible rain. If we

930
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 3: can remove ourselves from that, we're just looking at a

931
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 3: refreshing cabbage salad. Yeah, And I think that maybe if

932
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,439
Speaker 3: we can rebrand coal sla in that way, we could

933
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 3: get into it, but we've got to get away from putting.

934
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 3: I don't need mayonnaise soup. Now, that's the curse mayonnaise.

935
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 3: Let's just move on. I don't know. Do you like

936
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 3: mayonnaise at all?

937
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 2: Not really?

938
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 4: I mean I think I did when I was a kid,

939
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 4: for like ham and cheese sandwiches. Sure, I can't think

940
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 4: of anytime I've used it as an adult or like wanted.

941
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 3: It right, I'm never looking to put a mayonnaise on

942
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 3: a in anything, let alone like being the star ingredient. Okay, Well,

943
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 3: I hate to break it to you, but you Okay,

944
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 3: So you're failing the game so far, and that's fine.

945
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 3: Here's another chance for you. Okay. So what I've written

946
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 3: here is, and I'll I don't know why I wrote

947
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 3: it like this at the time, but it says those

948
00:47:54,880 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 3: giant soda machines aka coke Free style, So I believe

949
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 3: there are those jiant What I was talking about when

950
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 3: I wrote this is those ones that are basically a

951
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 3: giant computer with a touch screen gift.

952
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 4: Or are Yeah, i' musa say a gift because you

953
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 4: have so many more choices than those soda machines that

954
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 4: have just like six sodas, and if you want to

955
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 4: combine different flavors, you can do that. You can like

956
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 4: flip to page twenty four or whatever it is on

957
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 4: this computer, and it just looks cleaner like those the

958
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 4: ones with the little levers that you push.

959
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 2: I don't know.

960
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 4: Everyone's hand is just like up in there, and they

961
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 4: just look old. And who knows when the ice has changed.

962
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 4: I don't know if the machinery is better in this

963
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 4: big old computer in front of me, but I want

964
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 4: to believe that there's like some sort of amusement park

965
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 4: in there that's changing the ice regularly and making sure

966
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 4: all the levels are correct on the flavors and it's

967
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 4: all up to code.

968
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 2: It may not be, but it just seems like it

969
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: would be better than the other ones.

970
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 3: It's sure. I'm not trying to I'm not trying to

971
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,919
Speaker 3: make this difficult for you. I'm not trying to ice

972
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 3: you out of this game, but I hate to break

973
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 3: it to you. Zero for two, Oh my gosh, Unfortunately

974
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 3: these machines are a curse. Again. You did make some

975
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 3: good points there, but the moment you're behind somebody that's

976
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 3: on one of these machines, like a nine year old

977
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 3: boy who's decided to make, you know, a nine flavored

978
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 3: doctor pepper. You're gonna be standing there waiting for your

979
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 3: drink for who knows how long. Then you get up

980
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 3: to the machine, you push your thing. I can't tell

981
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 3: you how many times they don't have the flavor I want.

982
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 3: I'm telling I'm telling you these are a curse. They're

983
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 3: an absolute curse. You want I don't know, like a

984
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 3: diet coke occasional, they have a diet coke in there.

985
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, that's the thing. You think that would

986
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 3: be the flavor they always had. But I feel like

987
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 3: they're like, well, we have ginger ale. I don't want

988
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 3: to ginger ale. The only reason you have that because

989
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 3: no one else selected. It's like they've combined printers, the

990
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 3: inconvenience of using a printer with massive soda machine and

991
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 3: then they're letting you know, eleven year olds put their

992
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 3: sticky fingers all over it. I'm saying, curse, and I'm sorry,

993
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 3: but that's how I feel. But you know, at least

994
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 3: you've got one final chance here. At least, you know,

995
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 3: let's try to get one on the scoreboard here, Okay,

996
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 3: gift or a curse. Muting people on social media.

997
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that's a gift because you can.

998
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 4: It's a way to distance yourself from any bullshit you

999
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 4: don't want to see without hurting someone's feeling.

1000
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 2: Like you don't have to unfollow someone completely.

1001
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 4: You can just mute them and then if they're like

1002
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 4: overposting about their dog or their food or their baby

1003
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 4: or whatever has been bothering you.

1004
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 2: You don't have to see it.

1005
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 4: It's like it's a nice boundary that you could put

1006
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 4: up yourself that doesn't even involve the other person.

1007
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 3: You have landed the plane. Muting people on social media

1008
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 3: is such a gift. What a power it gives you.

1009
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 3: The I mean, I don't know how much information I

1010
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 3: should share on how many people I've muted on social media,

1011
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 3: but the list is very long and it feels incredible.

1012
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 3: It's like I'm gonna just I'm gonna put a blanket

1013
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,919
Speaker 3: over you. You're still going to be in the room,

1014
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 3: but you're not aware of it, and I don't have

1015
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 3: to deal with the noise that's coming from you. The

1016
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 3: big mistake I make is occasionally I'll say, why don't

1017
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,439
Speaker 3: I go check out on this person. I why don't

1018
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,439
Speaker 3: I go check them out. I've muted them a year ago.

1019
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure they're normal. Now. This has never been a

1020
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 3: good move. It always ends up with me just being furious,

1021
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 3: just totally annoyed. So I guess the lesson is leave

1022
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 3: them muted. Just let them vanish from your life, because

1023
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 3: there was a reason that you muted them in the

1024
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 3: first place, and they're not gonna they're not coming back

1025
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 3: from that. Yeah, let them.

1026
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 4: This is also good for trolls too, like on Twitter,

1027
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 4: like because if there's a person I don't know at

1028
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 4: all that tweets something crazy to me, if you if I.

1029
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:31,240
Speaker 2: Block them, they know they got a little validation.

1030
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 3: Yes, they like that.

1031
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 4: And there's people who have in their Twitter bio like

1032
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 4: blocked vibrant fears or something.

1033
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 2: They're like proud of this.

1034
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 4: They're like, I affected a celebrity and it's so sick.

1035
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 4: So to just like mute them and be like, I

1036
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 4: don't have to look at you. Yes, and they have

1037
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 4: no idea you don't feel it's so good. It feels incredible.

1038
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 4: I've had that conversation mostly with my boyfriend that you

1039
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 4: don't just do not interact with these people. Don't get

1040
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,919
Speaker 4: don't let them even know that they exist, because they're

1041
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 4: terrible and they want that's all they're looking for. The

1042
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 4: only person you should be proud of being blocked by is,

1043
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 4: of course Donald Trump. If you were able to bother him, fantastic,

1044
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 4: go for it. But otherwise being proud of being blocking,

1045
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 4: it's just such a lamee weird thing. And it's like

1046
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 4: the thing you had to offer to the world that

1047
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 4: were just very annoying. I don't know, we're so horrible

1048
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 4: that somebody had to block You had a hobby color

1049
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,959
Speaker 4: a dog or something color dog?

1050
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, just go a dog. Well, look at you, I

1051
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 3: mean you, you totally fell on your face for two

1052
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 3: of these questions.

1053
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 2: I still think I was right.

1054
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 3: Listen, you did make some good points, but unfortunately you

1055
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 3: were totally wrong. But the last one, we've come together

1056
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 3: in a good way and I feel like it's been

1057
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 3: educational and helpful for the for everybody. Yeah, now we're

1058
00:53:58,239 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 3: nearing the end of the podcast. Here if you can

1076
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 3: in the mood to discuss giving gifts to somebody who

1077
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 3: took care of animals. I mean, so you took care

1078

1090
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well I'm thinking. I mean, that's the one

1091
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 3: gift I can remember forgetting baby sitting some cats was

1092
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 3: a gift certificate to a record store. That felt good.

1093
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 2: That's nice, But what do he said that the friend

1094
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 2: likes camping.

1095
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 3: Camping or something and being active and reading.

1096
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 4: Maybe like, hm, I don't really know much about camping.

1097
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 4: I was gonna say some sort of I mean, like

1098
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 4: just a gift card to a camping.

1099
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know Australian sporting is good, sporting good

1100
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 3: sporting goods. Yeah, that's not a bad idea. Then they

1101
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 3: can go, because I feel like if somebody loves camping,

1102
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 3: they probably already have the basics, so they you don't

1103
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 3: want to surprise them with a second tent. So yeah,

1104
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 3: gift card to a sporting goods store or something like

1105
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 3: a little accessory like something to cook something in a

1106
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 3: fire or small sticks to roast marshall sunscreen sunscreen, just

1107
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 3: a huge vat of sunscreen. I feel like, if you're

1108
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 3: camping in Australia, the sun is just going to scorch you. Yeah,

1109
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 3: it's not a bad idea. Maybe just a nice water

1110
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 3: bottle for hiking, that could be good.

1111
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 4: We're one of those like filter water balls that you

1112
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 4: can put in a lake and it all filters into

1113
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 4: drinkable water.

1114
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 3: That's good whether you're camping or just trying to survive

1115
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 3: the end of the world which is coming. It's here,

1116
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 3: we're in it. Not a bad idea, And maybe let's

1117
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 3: buying the things she likes reading. How about a book

1118
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 3: about camping that sounds exciting. Yeah, you know, give them

1119
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 3: the classic book The Hatchet. Do you remember The Hatchet?

1120
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 3: This was the book about a little boy that I

1121
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 3: read in fourth grade. As plane goes down, then he

1122
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 3: survives in the wilderness.

1123
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 2: I feel like I remember hearing about it, but I

1124
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 2: never read it.

1125
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 3: Okay, well, you know, I think it's for fourth graders,

1126
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 3: so that I think it's.

1127
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 2: For boys too. I feel all the boys read that.

1128
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 3: If you're a fourth grade If this person happens to

1129
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 3: be a fourth grade boy, I've got the exact gift

1130
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 3: he but it does sound like he has a lot

1131
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 3: of wine. So I don't know what's going on in

1132
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 3: the boy the life of this little Australian. But look,

1133
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 3: maybe the Hatchet would be a nice piece of reading.

1134
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. Or wild Wild there you Go. That's

1135
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 3: a I feel like that's the adult version of Hatchet. Yeah,

1136
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 3: and I just read that they got rid of that

1137
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 3: bus really like, oh no, wait, wild back Wild is

1138
00:57:56,360 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 3: the Reese Witherspoon and became a Reese Witherspoon. I'm thinking

1139
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 3: about some other thing with some jerk who lived in Austo.

1140
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 3: The wild, Well, there are a lot. Let's find another

1141
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 3: word for the wilderness other than wild. There's a third

1142
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 3: book about somebody you know making their way through the wilderness.

1143
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 3: We've got a into the forest there you go. Wild

1144
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 3: is a great idea. People like that poo and it's

1145
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 3: about you know, the hype or something and one really

1146
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 3: long hike. Yeah, yes, across whatever thing. Okay, Reese Witherspoon,

1147
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 3: reach out to them, give them the book. It's part

1148
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 3: of your book club. Let's just do one more question.

1149
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 3: I have so many because they built up over quarantine.

1150
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 3: We've got to help some people out. I'll do this quickly, Bridger.

1151
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 3: I need a gift for my mom. The dilemma is

1152
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 3: I could never get her exactly what she asks for,

1153
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 3: and she would decide she hates it once she opens it.

1154
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 3: Oh God. She dislikes being around other people, such as

1155
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 3: in restaurants, amusement parks, et cetera. So getting her an

1156
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 3: experience is not something I build leave she'd like she's

1157
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 3: into nickknacks, but I don't know if I can bear

1158
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 3: to buy her one more ceramic cat, dog, elephant, or bird.

1159
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 3: What do you think? That's from? Vivian in Leyton, Utah? Okay, well, Vivian,

1160
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 3: first of all, it just sounds like your mom is

1161
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 3: not super pleasant. I don't know what to talk. She

1162
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 3: would decide she wouldn't like it once she opens it.

1163
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 3: Who is this devil? And it sounds like the only

1164
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 3: thing she likes is knickknacks. I'm just going to say,

1165
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 3: off the top of my head, give her a handful

1166
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 3: of buttons. Buttons? Does that kind as a knickknack? I

1167
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 3: don't know.

1168
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,919
Speaker 2: Maybe not. Well. I'm with her on the not wanting

1169
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 2: to be in public.

1170
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 3: Around that's the one thing this mom is doing right

1171
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 3: right now.

1172
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 4: Maybe some roller skates. She can have an experience by herself.

1173
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: Yes, and doesn't even have anyone else to have fun.

1174
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 2: You can skate around her neighborhood.

1175
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 3: Oh that's not a bad idea. Look what I got you, Mom.

1176
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 3: It's not a ceramic dog, it's a whole new hobby.

1177
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 3: And you're into the you know, the star of the show.

1178
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 3: And I mean, I feel like opening a gift to

1179
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 3: a pair of roller skates. Whether you're trying, whether you're

1180
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 3: trying to make everyone feel bad or not, you're not

1181
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 3: going to be able to because you're just gonna your

1182
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 3: heart is going to skip a beat. You're going to

1183
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 3: see you and imagine yourself show or you'll just be confused.

1184
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 3: And either way you're not going to be able to

1185
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 3: be this mean person i'm hearing described in And no

1186
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 3: offense to your mom, Vivian, but I'm just I'm just

1187
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 3: going off of the information you've given me in this email.

1188
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 3: Get her the roller skates. Roller blades, you know, those

1189
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 3: are a little bit easier to get into. They're not

1190
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 3: as cool. But maybe mom needs a little more balance

1191
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 3: or something. I don't know what to say, or a

1192
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:53,439
Speaker 3: hula hoop, yesop and a good quarantine exercise. You're at home,

1193
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 3: you're swiveling your hips. I've never been able to keep

1194
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 3: a hula hoop going more than one round? Can you

1195
01:00:58,680 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 3: do a hula hoop?

1196
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 2: I can't. I need to actually also buy some huloos.

1197
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 3: You pull on this podcast to announce that you were

1198
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 3: launching a circus, stills, hula.

1199
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 4: Hoops, roller skating and I do all the same time.

1200
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 4: That is what I'm coming out of quarantine with.

1201
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 3: And two cats.

1202
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 2: I'll be juggling two cats.

1203
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 3: The same time. Actually reminds me. I saw the cat

1204
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 3: Circus once. Nobody go see that. That was a painful experience.

1205
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 2: But well, I didn't know that even exists.

1206
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 3: It's a wild it's an interesting experience. But maybe you

1207
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 3: maybe you reboot the Cat's Circus.

1208
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 2: I mean maybe I will. I mean just quick comedy.

1209
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:40,479
Speaker 2: That's my new life.

1210
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 3: Oh well, I feel like we've done a good service.

Speaker 3: We've helped these people in a way that they could

1212
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 3: not have possibly imagined. From Australia to Layton. They know

1213
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 3: how to give a gift. So sure, you've been absolutely delightful.

1214

Speaker 3: This has been such a this gift is going to

1215
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,959
Speaker 3: save my sanity. I need something to do with my hands.

1216
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 3: It's not a telephone. I'm going to throw my phone

1217
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 3: off the balcony and start coloring in this little girl dog.

1218
