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

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

3
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests,

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: your presences presents enough, and I already had too much stuff.

5
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: So how do you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: Welcome to, I said, no gifts. I'm bridgerd Winecker. We

7
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: are in the backyard, which is always for me a

8
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: personal thrill. It'll never stop being a thrill. I'm never

9
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: going to take it for granted.

10
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: Not on zoom.

11
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: We're in the backyard. There's an occasional bird chirping. What

12
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: a day I'm having? What did I do? I've washed

13
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: the dog, I've you know. I sat just kind of

14
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: floated around the house for a while, considering lunch options.

15
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: I eventually ate an egg. A van almost backed into

16
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: me on my way to get coffee, and that leads

17
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: us to now we're here. We're in the backyard. Everyone's safe,

18
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: my heart has steadied, and I'm thrilled about today's guest.

19
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 3: It's Brandon Scott Jones. Brandon, Welcome to, I said, no gifts.

20
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me.

21
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 4: I feel like, now that I know the story, behind

22
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 4: the coffee that I'm looking at right here.

23
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm very grateful you're alive.

24
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: It was maybe the most dangerous drive of my entire

25
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: live now, I'm not kidding. I'm the drive is five

26
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: minutes away, uh huh. And the amount of dangerous driving

27
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: that I witnessed today was like something I've never seen before.

28
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: You were seeing a large amount of it, that's what

29
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 4: you're saying. You were seeing like it was happening repeatedly,

30
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: over and over it.

31
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: Every driver was doing something different and off the rails

32
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: in a way that it felt like a personal challenge.

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have a theory about that. I have a

34
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 4: theory I want to hear of that one person starts

35
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: that chain reaction. I was thinking this, Yeah, yeah, it's

36
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 4: it's basically I'm somebody. I lived in New York for

37
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 4: many years, and so when I came out here, I

38
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 4: was a very anxious driver. You know, I hadn't really

39
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 4: driven since I was a teenager, and so I was

40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 4: sort of always hyper aware, hyper conscious of everything going

41
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 4: on behind the wheel and on the road. And then

42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: when I feel like anytime I would see somebody making

43
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: an aggressive move, it would send me into a frenzy,

44
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: and I could imagine that if anybody else was like

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: that on the road, then it would just be like

46
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: this chain reaction. So you're seeing so much of it

47
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 4: because of one one person having a bad driving there.

48
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: Right, it's I can't quite remember how the atom works,

49
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: but like when an electron bounces off and it creates

50
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: some sort of chaos than the molecule or what have you.

51
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: I was, yeah, I was.

52
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: As I was driving, I thought, maybe it's the first

53
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: driver of the day that sets the mood. Maybe the

54
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: first driver of the day did something incorrect exactly and

55
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: it all led to me, or maybe I'm a bad

56
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 3: driver and all of those people are now telling their

57
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: loved ones. Right, this guy was all over the road,

58
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: he was too slow, he got in the way of

59
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: my van.

60
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: It's but I'm not going to acceptlain.

61
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 4: And no, don't don't, because this van, as you mentioned,

62
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 4: almost backed into you.

63
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: Right, And it was a professional van. It wasn't just

64
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: kind of a van it was the driver should have

65
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: known better, but you could tell despite it being like

66
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: a business's van, there was already a huge dent in it.

67
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: And which leads me to believe, yes, that driver their

68
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: time at that company is probably limited, yes, or the

69
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: company supports it because he's still driving this damage van

70
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: right right?

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: Or that's sort of like his scarlet letter. They don't

72
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 4: forget don't forget it.

73
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: What's her name in scarletter? Is a Hester print? Hester Print?

74
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: Yes, I was gonna say Pristine, which is a great

75
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: nagor Pristine, Pristine, this is my daughter Pristine. No Hester,

76
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: He's kind of the Hester of the vans.

77
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: Yes. Have you ever driven a van? I did? I've

78
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: driven a van.

79
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: Well, actually, the last time I drove a van, I

80
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: got into a head on collision.

81
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: What yeah, in New York City? Tell me about it? Well,

82
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: it was I was.

83
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: It was I was moving, I'm moving apartments, and I

84
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: had decided that I didn't have enough stuff to warrant

85
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 4: me hiring a moving company, and that sort of led

86
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: into I didn't have enough stuff to warrant I felt

87
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: like at the time having any friend help me, So

88
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: I basically was going to do this by myself. No,

89
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 4: And so I got my U haul van and I

90
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 4: remember very specifically them asking me like, do you want

91
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 4: the insurance? And I said no, and I out And

92
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 4: then as I was walking, I was like I haven't

93
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: driven in a long time. I mean again the year

94
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: in New York City and I rarely would drive. So

95
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 4: I walked back in and I got the got the insurance,

96
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 4: and I moved my stuff successfully and then I was

97
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 4: on my way to return the van and then boom

98
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 4: head on collision total the view haul.

99
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 2: How fast were you going? Not very fast.

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 4: I was stopped and I had pulled out and so

101
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: and then this other car. It was it's a no

102
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 4: fault state. What does no fault state mean? I think

103
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: I don't know other.

104
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: Than this podcast, if you don't know exactly what we're

105
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: talking about legally.

106
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 4: No, I'm so sorry. All I know is that the

107
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 4: state of New York did not blame me.

108
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: I can't. I don't know if the if the other

109
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: drivers blamed me, who were fine? Who were fine? In fact, I.

110
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 4: Was so so scared about it that I remember that

111
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: they had, you know, just by like a protocol that

112
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: they called like the ambulance ambliance. Oh my god, ambulance

113
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: lance amblance that's how they say it where I'm from. Uh.

114
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: But then they were like taking my blood pressure just

115
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 4: by again protocol, and they were like, sir, you have

116
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 4: got too calmed. I was so concerned about the other people,

117
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: who were absolutely fine, But I was so concerned about

118
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 4: them that they were going to have some sort of

119
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 4: like internal bleeding. They were like, sir, if you were

120
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: going to pass away right now, if you do not

121
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: calm down.

122
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: My blood pressure was so high.

123
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what were they driving another van?

124
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: No, they were driving an uninsured vehicle. Oh but it

125
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 2: was very old and small, large, smaller, smaller than mine.

126
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 2: That's what I mean, Like the head on Clay.

127
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 4: I was surprised that the vehicles got got totaled right,

128
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: but thankfully everybody was okay and sent me into like

129
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: a real, real mental mental funk.

130
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: While so, they must have been going at probably regular

131
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: road speed.

132
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 4: They were going at regular road speed, and I was

133
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 4: I was making a left turn.

134
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: Here comes Brandon in the van.

135
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, here comes Brandon the van screaming, which is like

136
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 4: my resting. That's my breasting mode when I'm driving.

137
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was I mean?

138
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: I'm always curious when a friend or someone gets in

139
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 3: a car accident. I always want to know what, what

140
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: did you say or what was your immediate reaction upon

141
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: the crash.

142
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: I was listening to glamorous by Fergie and I'm just

143
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: glamorous situation them so glamorous driving a U haul a

144
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: rattle a u au. And when I happened, it happened

145
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: so quick.

146
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 4: It happened in like slaw motion, and the airbags went off,

147
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 4: and it was this weird thing where like you're sort

148
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 4: of just sitting there and you're in this moment and

149
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 4: then you just hear like g L A M and

150
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 4: you're just like, oh no, that So that moment was

151
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 4: really subverted by by whatever emotions that I just remember

152
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: it echoes in my brain whenever I hear this. It's

153
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: like a sense memory now when I hear that song,

154
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 4: which I hear all the time because I do still

155
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: love it.

156
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: That's incredible.

157
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: Whenever I'm listening to a song that I'm like a

158
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: guilty pleasure song or mildly embarrassed in the car, I'm

159
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: very aware of if the car flips yes and rescue

160
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: services come and this song is blaring out while my

161
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: body unconscious is there, this is gonna be.

162
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: A very strange situation for everyone. Yeah.

163
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: Wow, And that's as close as I've heard that that's happened.

164
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: Wow, what is the thing? I know? But you must

165
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: feel closer to Fergy. I do. I do. In a

166
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: lot of ways.

167
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 4: She was you know, I think there's near death experiences

168
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 4: and her voice was very present of that. So I

169
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 4: do conflate that with what I can only assume our angels.

170
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Fergy's your angel, Fergy's my angel. Has Fergie ever

171
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: driven a van? That's my question.

172
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like there was probably a period

173
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 4: of time where Fergie was heavy into van culture, like.

174
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?

175
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: Like she's kind of tough, said openly that, Like there

176
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 4: was like a dip, like there was her Christian music

177
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 4: trio I think I was, and then she had that

178
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 4: song Wild Orchid was the name of that band that

179
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 4: she was in. She had that song follow Me, Oh

180
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 4: my god, it was so good. But then I feel

181
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: like she went away for a while, then be came

182
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 4: back and was Fergie with the Black Eyed Peas. I

183
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: feel like in that in between period there was some

184
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 4: van van stuff happened.

185
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: Hundred percent in a van seeing the country. Yeah, well,

186
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 3: I am stumbles across her in this van and mate,

187
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: I feel like all of those people were probably driving

188
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: a van at some point and probably met while in

189
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 3: vans in a parking lot somewhere exactly.

190
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 4: It's a very very like sixties vibe the Black Eyed

191
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: Peas formed around.

192
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 3: Wow, well this Who would have thought that that van

193
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 3: almost backing into me would have led to this revelation?

194
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: You never know? God bless, Godless? Where are you? Where

195
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: are you coming from today? Where am I?

196
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 4: I'm coming from a silver lake in Los Angeles, California.

197
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: What did you listen to on your way here?

198
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: Oh, I'll tell you. I listened to meatloafs. I will

199
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: do I would do anything for love.

200
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: What is happening in your guide? It's not it's not pretty.

201
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: It is just yeah, it is chaos. Just wait to

202
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: usee me.

203
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 4: Like go through a drive through, It's like the same thing,

204
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 4: like the easiest way I get a quate. Like my

205
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 4: driving music is also like drive through food, you know

206
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: what I mean? Like there's nothing actual satisfying, but it's

207
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 4: there's nothing of any value.

208
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: Right but anyone but feels good. My brain feels incredible,

209
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 2: like you're on coke at all times.

210
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. And I listened to the same song

211
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 4: over and over and over again. So like when I

212
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 4: when I'm like on a kick with a song like

213
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: I will just play it constantly and constantly and constantly.

214
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: Just absolutely grind it to dust, just.

215
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: Grind it to dust to the point where like the

216
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 4: it's the lyrics mean nothing anymore.

217
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 2: Like I heard like David Fincher.

218
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: As a director like makes actors do like a thousand

219
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 4: takes right til like it just gets to be nothing

220
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: and just very very simple and commonplace. And it obviously

221
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: works because those movies are good. But I feel like

222
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 4: I do that with music and me, yes, me and

223
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 4: meat Loaf. Yeah, meat Loaf is now just Sunday dinner.

224
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: How did I mean? Are you a Meetloaf fan? Or

225
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: am I a meetloa fan?

226
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 4: Why you're Basically, I feel like the root of this

227
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 4: question is why were you listening to yes?

228
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 3: Because it does feel like a real choice. I, Yeah,

229
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 3: it does.

230
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 2: It does.

231
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: I think I'm a real fan of songs that start

232
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 4: and have like motorcycle voices, you know, like, uh, you

233
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: know there's a couple of Michael Jackson one you know,

234
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 4: law song, Yeah exactly. I think that they're really really cool,

235
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 4: and so I think I was just thinking about that

236
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 4: today and I was like, oh, this one feels it

237
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 4: feels like a motor I have no desire to ever

238
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 4: ride a motorcycle.

239
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: I just like the sound of it on screen.

240
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 4: And then I mean, I guess when you said when

241
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 4: you asked if I was a meetlow fan, I mean, obviously,

242
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 4: like towards the end there he was getting a little

243
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: dicey in terms of his socio political views that I

244
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: clearly did not agree with and wondered why he held

245
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 4: and held so publicly anyway, But I know that when

246
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 4: he passed away, I was like, really for a moment,

247
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 4: I was like.

248
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 2: Oh, meat loaf.

249
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I said, but that song is like a constant

250
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 4: for me, Like I have a friend. I remember when

251
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 4: I moved to New York City and I was like eighteen,

252
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 4: and you could like go into bars and so forth.

253
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 4: I remember, like my I we would like play a

254
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 4: song on on like their jukebox or whatever, and I

255
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 4: would always play that song and like the groans that

256
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 4: would come from not just my friends, but like the

257
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 4: people at the bar, like they'd be like, oh God.

258
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: Why are you playing this? And I'm like, all right.

259
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: I feel like if you're at a bar with the jukebox,

260
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 3: that's fair play here that meat loaf is on the menu.

261
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: Here, that's the thing. A jukebox is saying, play me. Yeah.

262
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 2: Does that make sense?

263
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 4: It's not like saying this, there's no jukebox for songs

264
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: we don't want, right, you know.

265
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: It's like that, though, don't put it on. You control

266
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: the jukebox.

267
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 3: They could have removed meatloaf from that. Uh, those options,

268
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 3: they absolutely could have. They absolutely could have, and they

269
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 3: could have truly participated a meat loaf of rasure on

270
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 3: that jukebox, and they absolutely did.

271
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: He's a jew. He is the soul of the jukebox.

272
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: Is any artist that has a song that begins with

273
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: motorcycle noises will eventually end up in a jukebox one

274
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: hund and they should ride. Of course, it all makes

275
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 3: perfect sense. Yes, put a put a motorcycle noise at

276
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: the beginning of every song.

277
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: You rot up the mood in such an incredible way.

278
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: Motorcycle noise right into my heart will go on. That

279
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: would be so good.

280
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 3: Just the rumble, the rumble, the harp or whatever.

281
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: There's really no song that wouldn't be better because of.

282
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: A Truly I really liked that idea. Have you ever

283
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: driven a motorcycle? Do you drive a motor you ride

284
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: a motorcycle.

285
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 2: I think you ride one, but you have to get

286
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: a license to drive it, right, license to ride to ride.

287
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: It's truly like like the Nickelodeon bad Boy, you know

288
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

289
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: Like license to ride you just like a tense speed

290
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: mountain bike, a.

291
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: Ten speed mountain bike. Ride feels so passive. It's not

292
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 2: an active thing to do.

293
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: No ride ride, but to drive I feel that you

294
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 3: need a steering wheel.

295
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 4: Yes, or at least you're having some command over the

296
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: direction of the vehicle.

297
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: Right, You don't have the handlebars, yeah, but you ride

298
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: a roller coaster, you don't drive a way.

299
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I would love to at the wheel of

300
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: a roller coaster and I'm hitting the gas baby.

301
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

302
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 3: Roller coasters should have steering wheels, and so should motorcycles.

303
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: I would love a motorcycle with kind of a bus steering.

304
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 4: Wheel, yeah, exactly. You know, they also have like windows

305
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 4: on the side.

306
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: And on the additional seats, additional seats, stereo windshield. No.

307
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: I also feel like most cars should have a bus

308
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: steering wheel. That's a more fun thing to do. The

309
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,479
Speaker 3: twist the bus.

310
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 4: Steering wheel specifically, I think is a fun steering.

311
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: Wheel it's the most fun.

312
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 4: It's the closest we'll ever get to like an old

313
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 4: like pirate Captain ship.

314
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: Yes, you know what I'm saying.

315
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 3: And it's kind of almost twisting the lid off of

316
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: the jar situation. It has a little bit of everything

317
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: for everyone.

318
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: Really, there's something for everyone, and yet we only let

319
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: bus drivers access exactly also, which I think you have

320
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: to have a specific license for I hope. So, yeah,

321
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: it's a large vehicle.

322
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: It is to just be going seventy miles an hour

323
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 3: in something that carries.

324
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: What seventy miles an hour on a bus? Don't tell

325
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: me how to drive a bus. Oh my god, Let's

326
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: talk about speed. Yeah, let's do it, because I think

327
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: they could wait speed speed was about going faster than

328
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: the speed limit or they I think speed was about yeah, speed.

329
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: I would love if it was actually go under twenty five.

330
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 4: You have to go over to undertowin and just like

331
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 4: hordes like enraging the people of Los Angeles with like

332
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 4: the slow public transportation.

333
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 3: You can't hear any of the dialogue over the sound

334
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: of horns beeping.

335
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: That's speed three. Speed three is keep.

336
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: It between twelve and twenty five in Los Angeles.

337
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: That seems more dangerous to me.

338
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 4: It absolutely does, because the people that would come for you.

339
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 4: I mean, then it becomes like an assault on Precinct

340
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 4: thirteen situation where it's just like malicious are forming to

341
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 4: take down this bus that won't stop, but won't go faster.

342
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: It can't stop, it just has to move so slow.

343
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: It is scary to see a bus on the freeway.

344
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 3: Yes, it's I mean, especially like a city bus or

345
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: you know, like occasionally you'll see a tour bus or whatever.

346
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: It's like it makes sense, you've got to get get

347
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: across the country. But when I see like a Los

348
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: Angeles city bus on the freeway, I'm wondering, what's happened.

349
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're talking like a like a like a commuter

350
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: bus with stops and right, not like a coke situation.

351
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: I would I mean, And then are people pulling the

352
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: little rope on the freeway? Yeah, like, I'll get this

353
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: kid out here, Exit fourteen. Please drop me off on

354
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: the shoulder. I'll be fine.

355
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

356
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: Oh, buses, the thrill, the mystery, the thrill and the

357
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: mystery of a fireworks. Well, Brandon, yes, we have to

358
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: move on. I have to discuss something with you. I

359
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 3: think I have to imagine you came here today knowing

360
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 3: that this would be a topic of conversation. The podcast

361
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: is called I said no Gifts. The listener knows that,

362
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 3: you know that, our producer on Alease knows that. I

363
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: assume the president knows that. It's kind of all over

364
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 3: the globe. We have a helicopter, which I mean, yeah,

365
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: they probably know that. That's probably why I can't imagine

366
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 3: there's anything else going on other than them signaling that

367
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 3: they know about the podcast.

368
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: Also have to have a license for that, I hope.

369
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: So I would love to be a hobbyist without a license. Yeah,

370
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: just look a casual chop a fly off.

371
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 3: Well, their voice needed to be heard, and they've been heard.

372
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 3: The helicopter has been heard. You come trotting up my

373
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 3: driveway holding a little bag. Very cute cute bag, it says,

374
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: hip Hip, hooray. Some thick tissue paper, I'll say, inside,

375
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: almost a leathery isssue paper.

376
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 2: That's Gelson's quality. That is gorgeous.

377
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this you're saying, this came from Gelson's, the

378
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 3: most expensive grocery store on the planet. Yes, they charge

379
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: about forty dollars for a gallon of milk.

380
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 2: They do, but it's great milk. It's not that's the

381
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: trick of Gelson's. I know, I disagree.

382
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 4: It's sweeter, it's creamier, it's thicker, it's a meal. Basically,

383
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 4: I'm eating and drinking when I have Gelson's milk.

384
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: You are chewing your milk and you go to gelson exactly.

385
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 3: I will publicly say that everything at Gelson's can be

386
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 3: purchased at Ralph, so they don't have you know, like,

387
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 3: it's not like a Whole Foods or a sprout situation

388
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: or a I've never even been in the most expensive

389
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 3: grocery store, which is the Farms.

390
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: Oh I was gonna say, I think you're gonna say

391
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: the air One. Oh, of course, how do we forget

392
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: air One?

393
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 4: I live right across the street from Airwan, and it

394
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 4: has become like a casual like, ugh, just gotta go

395
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 4: gut some sugar and then that's another twenty five bucks's.

396
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: It is the most expense.

397
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 3: Apologies to Gelson's, but Airone is almost out of the

398
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: grocery category for me, where it's now just like I'm

399
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 3: going to the luxury goods store.

400
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

401
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 4: No, there is something about about Air one that's sort

402
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 4: of trying to tell you, come on, this isn't.

403
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 2: A gross You're not wanted here. No, you're not wanted here.

404
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: There's like an advertisement right now that's sort of like

405
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 4: part juice bar, part grocery store, part runway.

406
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: Oh I know, doesn't that make you want to die?

407
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 4: It's a I think it's not an actual air one.

408
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 4: I think it's like a door dash add.

409
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 3: Or Okay, so Aaron doesn't want to actually be associated

410
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 3: with but part runway. They're not stepping in to stop it,

411
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: so no, they're.

412
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely and it is hanging up right across the street

413
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: from the air well, then they know they know there's

414
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: blood on their hands. That is a big air one

415
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: is very aware. Wow.

416
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, so air one, Okay, separate category and look at it.

417
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 2: But you start talking about.

418
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 3: Grocery stores with me, and I need to express my opinions.

419
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 2: Please. Gelson's is a Ralph's that just is more expensive, interesting,

420
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit cleaner, I would say cleaner. I

421
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: mean I've been in some dicey roufs. Ralfs can get

422
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 2: a little dicey, but it is more thrilling. It is.

423
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 2: I mean, if you want some late night cookie crisp oh,

424
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 2: and you know I do. You're gonna be able to

425
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: find it to rol. You gotta go to Ralps.

426
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 3: But now my opinion is known. Gelson's come for me,

427
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 3: do whatever you want. But that means that this tissue

428
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: paper probably cost about seventeen dollars.

429
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: And that's fine. It looks so thick.

430
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 4: It does I I mean, I have to be one

431
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 4: hundred percent. I think that maybe the correct way to

432
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 4: use it. It's not just grab the entire pack and

433
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: just wrap in your car quickly.

434
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: Again another thing happening in my car.

435
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 3: It is, it's gorgeous, and but all that aside, I

436
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 3: have to ask.

437
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, is this a gift for me? It is, and

438
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: it is.

439
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: Okay, do you want me to open it here on

440
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 3: my podcast or do you want me to do it

441
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 3: in private? And you know secluded bathrooms and sign closed doors.

442
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 4: Definitely not a public bathroom. This is a private bathroom gift. No,

443
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 4: I think you can do it here. In fact, I

444
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 4: mean like I'm curious to know what you would you

445
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 4: would think. I mean, the packaging is so lovely and.

446
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 3: It is truly a very cute little bag and we

447
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 3: should get it's too I'll that you were using it. Yes,

448
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: that is kind of the end goal of this podcast

449
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 3: is to just gather expensive gift bags for a future

450
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 3: use at parties, weddings, baby showers. So, and this is

451
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 3: a nice one because it's kind of for any event,

452
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 3: hip hit parade, there's no birthday, there's no happy wedding.

453
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: This wouldn't be a funeral one. But I think that's well.

454
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: It depends on whose funeral at the rest. It always

455
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: depends on whose funeral funeral gifts do we give them.

456
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. We've got to we've got to move on.

457
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: Let's get some tissue crunch. And that's a I We're

458
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: talking about thick tissue here. I'm not kidding around. It's

459
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: the full thing. We're pulling it out. We're pulling it out.

460
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: It's getting stuck. It's getting stuck. Okay, okay, we're wait

461
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 3: what is this? It says, Okay, so it's a what

462
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 3: I'm currently looking at, listener, and we'll discover as we

463
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 3: move on. It's kind of a soft box that says hemingway,

464
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 3: but not in the way of you know, an earnest hemingway.

465
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: It's h E M.

466
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 3: I n G capital W E I G h as

467
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 3: in a way I have no idea what I'm looking at.

468
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: Oh, I think, well, I believe that this is a

469
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: single yoga block. I've never even heard of a yoga block.

470
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 4: No, and honestly nor have I until I recently did.

471
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 4: I was I couldn't imagine where one would use that, right,

472
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 4: But you can, like, I think you can like rest

473
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 4: your hands on it, okay, And yeah you can, yeah,

474
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 4: you can maybe your knee. And I think the company Hemingway,

475
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 4: I'm guessing only based on the name, is sort of

476
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 4: like heming your weight, you know what I'm.

477
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: Saying, Like there's a bad pun at work here about body.

478
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: Weight, yes, and drunk authors.

479
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 4: And it's more of a literary part of the literary

480
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 4: thing that I'm frustrated with, which is like, okay, really.

481
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, what world of Ernest Hemingway have to do with

482
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 3: the world notoriously fit yoga freak?

483
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 2: He was a yoga freak that the two things he

484
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: loved so much yoga and just endless amounts of gym.

485
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 3: Okay, how did you find this thing? How did it

486
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 3: come across your life?

487
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 4: Well, I, you know, was stressed out about finding a

488
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 4: gift for you.

489
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: I can't imagine that being stressful situation in anyway.

490
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 4: No, it's never stressful, but this one time it was.

491
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 4: And and this came across because honestly, it was kind

492
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 4: of recommended to me on Amazon.

493
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 2: Oh do you do yoga? Absolutely not? Absolutely not.

494
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 3: I own a yoga matt okay, but I put my

495
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 3: desk chair on top of it. The perfect use is

496
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 3: it to keep the desk chair from slipping and sliding.

497
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: It's to keep it from making like rolling noises during zooms.

498
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 2: Okay. So was that purchased on Amazon? That was also

499
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: purchased on amas Okay, So.

500
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: That information was fed into the algorithm, and then maybe

501
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 3: you purchased some Hemingway.

502
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: Yes, I think that Hemingway is the brand of Oh no,

503
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: I was thinking about literature. Oh God, read me? No,

504
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: I don't read what.

505
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 4: Am I going to sit down and open? An Old

506
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 4: Man in the Sea? What did he write that?

507
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 2: I believe?

508
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 3: So?

509
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: I believe he did. God, I mean I literally that

510
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: was like the bottom of the barrel of me scraping things. Impressive.

511
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: What did he have written? He wrote? That's that's the

512
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: only one I've read is the Old Man in the Sea.

513
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 2: Was it good? It's a good book I read. I

514
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: read a post college.

515
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, have nothing to say, nothing bad to say about

516
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 3: mister Hemingway.

517
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 2: Gotcha, nothing bad to say. I haven't read it, have

518
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 2: not read.

519
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 4: I mean, like maybe I have read Hemingway, but I

520
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 4: feel like I have to have it at some point.

521
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 2: Right, did he write a chance? Who wrote the King?

522
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: Who wrote A King in King Arthur's Court? Wait? Connecticut?

523
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 4: A King in King Arthur's Court? Which is a very

524
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 4: anti climactic Connecticut Yankee and Connecticut Yankee and King Arthur's Court?

525
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: Was that to me? Mark Twain? Maybe that?

526
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 3: And maybe you know what, because you just mentioned another

527
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: Mark twite novel.

528
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: What was it? You said? Uhckleberry finn. Oh, Yeah, that's

529
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: Mark Twain. You know what? Can I tell you something?

530
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 4: I think the entire time we've been talking about Ernest Hemingway,

531
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 4: I've been thinking of Mark Twain. That's a there's a

532
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 4: big difference, there is, And I've been kind of referring

533
00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 4: to Hemingway as a big drunk.

534
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 2: But I think Mark Twain was the drunk.

535
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 4: And I'm about to tell you that Ernest Hemingway's real

536
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 4: name was Samuel Clemens.

537
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: But I think that's Mark Twain.

538
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: Now the information's coming together for you. This is for clarity. Yes,

539
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: the connections are being made. Hemingway, I can assume was

540
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 3: a drinker. I feel like any author, any male author,

541
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: from at any.

542
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 2: Point, is probably a heavy drink. I think.

543
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 3: So there's some horrible, annoying tradition of you drink and write,

544
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: which is kind.

545
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 2: Of bothers me. It bothers me too.

546
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: The whiskey, the you know, the stupid little glass of

547
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 3: whiskey next to your typewriter or whatever. Get over it,

548
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: pression sort of thing really doesn't work for me. The

549
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: aesthetic doesn't work. Yeah, what are we talking about? The

550
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 3: linen suits, The linen suits, my gosh.

551
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: The lack of air conditioning. Just a sweaty, weird looking

552
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: man at his type, right, warm Tennessee Williams must have

553
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 2: been writing all of his plays. You can feel the

554
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: warmth in any Tennessee Williams. Well, that's the thing.

555
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 4: I think that like the way you mark a bad

556
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 4: production of any Tennessee Williams play is if you can't

557
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 4: feel the.

558
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,719
Speaker 2: Heat on the stage.

559
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 3: Okay, but back to sorry, Yes, so you had purchased

560
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: a Hemingway brand yoga.

561
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 2: Matt, I believe how recently.

562
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 4: The I've got I mean, I well, I guess I'm

563
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 4: actually gonna say within the past like four months, simply

564
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 4: because I had been away for a while and I

565
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 4: came back and I couldn't seem to find my previous

566
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 4: yoga mat.

567
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 3: Right, and then but you've given up on it so quickly,

568
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 3: it's already under the desk chair.

569
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 2: Yes, no, no, no, yeah, yeah, it's were you doing yoga before? No?

570
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 4: I well, I hadn't done yoga in many, many years.

571
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 4: And then I went on this retreat earlier in the

572
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 4: year in January.

573
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 2: This like health retreat. Where was it? It was in Malibu,

574
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: Malibu in Malibu, and it.

575
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 4: Was sort of like this like seven day stay, overnight hiking, vegan,

576
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 4: live off the land, right, uh, fitness, all that stuff.

577
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 4: I really felt like I was. I really wanted it

578
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 4: to be a recharge or restart.

579
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: It was like ice transformation, a transfer me. That's really

580
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 2: what I wanted.

581
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 4: I mean, like I was expecting to walk away with

582
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 4: with abs and but no, I did it from like

583
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 4: the second to the ninth this year.

584
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: Okay, oh an immediate like yeah, y yes, it was

585
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 2: sort of like that was what it was.

586
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, I'm gonna like just like recommit

587
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 4: to health and so forth.

588
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: And I did yoga there and it was quite nice, though.

589
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 4: I really did find that it was the type of

590
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 4: place where they really encourage you to do a good

591
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 4: job with the yoga, but if you're not, they're happy.

592
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 4: Just like sleep, and so I think maybe I was

593
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: like sleeping with some relaxing music and thinking, Wow, God,

594
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 4: yoga's great.

595
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 2: Now did you go to this thing alone?

596
00:28:59,320 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 3: No?

597
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: I went with one of my best friends.

598
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: Okay, So it wasn't just like a thing where you

599
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 3: have to suddenly meet a bunch of new people.

600
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,959
Speaker 2: It was that Okay, she and I did it together. Okay,

601
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: did it feel like going to camp? It did.

602
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: It felt like a really like bougie camp and not

603
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 3: to and that's the easiest, but it was also really hard.

604
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: It was one of the most challenging things I everard

605
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 3: because basically, you would wake up at five thirty in

606
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: the morning and you would go and you would have breakfast,

607
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 3: and then you would like lotion up your feet and

608
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: then fill up your bladdered backpack and then you'd go

609
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: on these four and a half hour long hikes.

610
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: How long? How far of a distance?

611
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 4: Is that a great question? I don't know. I might

612
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 4: have climbed to space at one point. Like it was,

613
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 4: I've never been so winded a in a way. I

614
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 4: mean it was like almost like facing adversity that by

615
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 4: the time you would finish the hike, you looked at

616
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 4: everyone around you who would also the thing, whether they

617
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 4: were in various states of health, and was just so

618
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 4: deeply impressed that we all did this thing together. And

619
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 4: the entire time you're up there, I really think to myself, like,

620
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 4: the only thing keeping me going is the fear of

621
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 4: like dying like I was, and I'm hiking in Malibu,

622
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 4: I'm aware. I mean in the mountain, the sanmonicls. You

623
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 4: think they're general, they are they They keep going. The

624
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 4: thing about the other thing I hate about hiking, I

625
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 4: realized because I've never really been an outdoorsman, the other

626
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 4: thing I hate about hiking is that it's so inefficient.

627
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 4: You know, if the goal is to get to the top,

628
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 4: why do I have to like zig zag my ass up?

629
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 3: Right?

630
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: Those always bother me? What does that called a switchback?

631
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 3: You're a hiker, Ah, let's just say I've hiked, you've hiked.

632
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: I've hiked on occasion. Oh my god, I mean, good

633
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: for you, good on you.

634
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 3: I mean, like it's gorgeous, like I should, I'll show

635
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: you the pictures of this stuff.

636
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: Right, but it was, my god, one of the most difficult.

637
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,239
Speaker 4: And I think these people who run the retreat are

638
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 4: so good hearted and believe so deeply in the work

639
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 4: that they're doing, and I love that for them. However,

640
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 4: they're like, they keep telling me like, oh, it's not that.

641
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: They're like, it's not that bad.

642
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 4: To say, I know, and then they're like, it's not

643
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 4: you know, the rest of it's really easy, And I

644
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 4: just kept feeling that they were lying to me, because yes,

645
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 4: it might be easy for you, but you're talking to

646
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 4: somebody who is you know, lives in cities and they.

647
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: Do this as a job and they're doing it frequently,

648
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 3: whereas they're bringing these vacationers.

649
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: Yes, and it's not easy, right, Like I mean, I

650
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: think it would be the same.

651
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 4: It's the same thing as if somebody were to like

652
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 4: go to a magician and a magician be like, here, look,

653
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,719
Speaker 4: just make the car disappear in front of the audience.

654
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: It's easy. And you're like, well, yeah, but I need

655
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 3: to practice a little bit less. Show me a few

656
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: of the ropes before I embarrass myself with the magic castle. Now,

657
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: four and a half hours of hiking every day, every day,

658
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 3: and that's so let's assume that's two and a quarter

659
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: hours each way.

660
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: Is that what's happening. Yeah.

661
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 4: Some of them were out and backs and other ones

662
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 4: were loop were a loop, so yeah, so yeah.

663
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: And at the end of the high, I mean, once

664
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 3: you reached the destination of the hike, would you sit

665
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 3: down and lunch, would you tell make promises to each other?

666
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: This sort of thing?

667
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, there was the hike.

668
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: There were there. The hike was not for leisure. It

669
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 2: was pure it was pure exercise. So like there was

670
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 2: no moment of respite in the hike.

671
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 4: Oh no, yeah, I mean like I was able to

672
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 4: like form a little group of friends, and we called

673
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 4: ourselves the backpackers because we were always in the back

674
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 4: of the pack and the last to finish and and

675
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 4: so forth. But yeah, this was not These were not

676
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 4: like like enjoy the view. They were telling you to

677
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 4: enjoy the views of your walkie talkies.

678
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: Walkie talkies. Yes, yeah, there was walkie talkies. Did you

679
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: make use of the walkie talkies? I think one one time?

680
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 2: I did.

681
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 4: I think one time. I was just like, how much

682
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 4: longer do we have? I really credit the staff of

683
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 4: this place because it was fantastic like that. I really

684
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: recommend the retreat. However, I'm i I'm their challenge, you

685
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. I recognize that they're kind. They say,

686
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 4: here comes the project.

687
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: Here comes the project. Yeah.

688
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 4: Like basically, I'm the hill for them. You know, I'm

689
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 4: their mountain to climb.

690
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: Does this thing have a name? It does? Do you

00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: very fair to them.

694
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 3: Okay, great, I really enjoyed it.

696
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 3: Yes, and they also now have one in Italy. Oh interesting,

697
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: a franchise, a franchise.

698
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, Francis, I want to make it very very clear,

699
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:45,479
Speaker 2: highly recommend. Okay. And I'm not their demographic, though I

700
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: tried to be for a little. I feel like you

701
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: are though.

702
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,719

703
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: lead a healthy lifestyle.

704
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 2: I want to leave it lead a healthy lifestyle. I

705
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: feel like you do. You're in good shape, you're a

706
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: vibrant person.

707
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 3: I mean you've given away a yoga block right right,

708
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 3: But do you own a yoga mat that it's that

709
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 3: is ready for you right when the time?

710
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 4: I mean it's in the right position, there's just something

711
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 4: on top of it.

712
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: Have you hiked since No? Yes? At once?

713
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely I did. I just like recently I went

714
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 4: up to Malibu and I did like a hike. Oh,

715
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 4: but like it was like six I guess, like five

716
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 4: months had passed, so like a lot of the what

717
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 4: vegetation has burned down?

718
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: So I'll just charcoal an ash an ash. So it

719
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 2: was like basically scaling a volcano. Oh no, black lung. Yes,

720
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 2: that's what that is, when you go into the cold

721
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: in the black lung. Black lung. Okay, So you did

722
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: go back? I did.

723
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 4: I went back up, and I mean, like I here's

724
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 4: what I Okay. So my my most recent foray into hiking,

725
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 4: I wasn't upset about the the non direct path, nor

726
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 4: was I upset about the actual like elevation that it requires.

727
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 4: But this time I was upset about like the like

728
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 4: how I couldn't. I didn't feel like I could see

729
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 4: my feet, like the grass was too tall. And I'm

730
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 4: I'm deathly afraid of snakes. Oh, and I just feel

731
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 4: like they're they were probably I saw like a snake

732
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 4: scan and like when So I've never been more motivated

733
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 4: to get through something quickly, Like I might have broken

734
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 4: a world record this last time I hike without like

735
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 4: absorbing any of the scenery. I just powered my ass

736
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 4: up around this mountain filled with like tall tall grass.

737
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah, you see a snake skin, and you know

738
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 3: a snake is out there in a new outfit, it's

739
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 3: ready to strike, it's living a new life, exactly. Yeah,

740
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 3: And snakes are terrifying to me because well because they're dangerous,

741
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 3: frequently dangerous, but also I'll get on a hike and

742
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 3: have I won't have thought about it prior to it,

743
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: and then I begin I'll be standing in the weeds

744
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 3: or whatever, and I start googling my location. But by

745
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 3: then I'm out of service, and now my mind is

746
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 3: just going in every direction.

747
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 4: Right, Like, do you have a plan, Let's just say

748
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 4: you're in that situation, right, do you have a plan

749
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 4: that if you get bit by a snake.

750
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: You know what to do. I simply have no idea.

751
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 3: No, neither do I I hope that my my plan

752
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 3: is I hope my friend thought about this.

753
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, God, but it's not something you would communicate

754
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 2: about beforehand. Oh, it hasn't happened yet. Okay.

755
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 3: My other fear in these tall grasses is a tick. Yes,

756
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: that's actually a little bit scarier. Have you ever had

757
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 3: a tick? I've never had a tick.

758
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: Not a great thing to have. No, it's bad. I

759
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 2: went on a boy Scout trip in late elementary I

760
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 2: was about to guess that you were a boy, sir.

761
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 3: I hope I'm constantly radiating my favorite thing in the world,

762
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 3: the feeling.

763
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: Of a boy skit boy Scout of America.

764
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 3: We love the BSA. No, I got a tick in Uh.

765
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 3: It was in my hair, like in my head, and

766
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 3: like the removal process is horrifying.

767
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: You have to burn it. You have to get a

768
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 2: match and burn the tick because I like gorge. Yeah,

769
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: I became very sick. Did you get limes?

770
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 3: I didn't get Oh, thank god I didn't. I got

771
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 3: what's known as Rocky Mountain fever, which what a great

772
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 3: name for any truth.

773
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: It sounds like an ice cream. I have one scoop

774
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: of Rocky Mountain fever.

775
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 3: Please, that's a perfect ice cream. No, it's a horrible sickness.

776
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 3: It It's like the worst flu you can have, and

777
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 3: then it'll disappear and then come back. Got it but

778
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 3: not lyme disease knock on wood.

779
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 2: So basically you think you're better, but then it just Yeah,

780
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 2: over the.

781
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 3: Course of like maybe two or three weeks, suddenly, like

782
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 3: four days of passing you felt fine, Suddenly you've got

783
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 3: a fever.

784
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Yeah, that's terrible.

785
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 3: Listen to those bird screech I mean, when are we

786
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: going to actually tell them we're in a zoomed call

787
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 3: and you're just adding in. I have a huge soundboard

788
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: that I'm expressing different fun Yes, but they're all bird calls.

789
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 3: I have one helicopter and then just every bird you

790
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 3: can possibly and you're.

791
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 2: Really laying it thick on the helicopter to take the pup.

792
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if the listeners hearing any of this,

793
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: but you never know that. You listen back to the

794
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: recording and you're gonna actually have to go back and.

795
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 3: Actually draw sweeten the helicopters. Sweetened the birds get some grass. No,

796
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 3: grasshoppers don't make a noise.

797
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: I think they do, right, are the ones that rub

798
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: their legs to get right? I mean? No crickets crickets?

799
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 2: Is it a cricket?

800
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 3: Aalise is shaking their head, Yes, it's a cricket. Grasshopper

801
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 3: probably does make some type of noise. Yeah, otherwise why

802
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 3: do they exist if not to I think they make

803
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 3: kind of a clicking.

804
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: No, it's someone to say, oh, yeah, maybe that's what

805
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 2: it is.

806
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 3: Bugs, birds, helicopters. The soundboard does it all?

807
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: It really does those three things at least. But you

808
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 2: didn't get you didn't get a tick, You didn't get

809
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 2: bit by a snake.

810
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 4: Not not no, not that I'm aware of, but because

811
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 4: I again, it's it's like so much of that, like

812
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 4: survivalist first aid is I've never investigated it, despite the

813
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 4: deep fear of it all that I have of sort

814
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 4: of like what do I do if I approach a

815
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 4: rabid fox or something like? I don't even know what

816
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 4: I would do because most of it is sort of

817
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 4: just cobbled together through like a series of like like

818
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 4: episodes of television I've watched over the past three years

819
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 4: of my life.

820
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and with a snake bite, I truly feel like

821
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 2: maybe you just lay down and.

822
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 4: Die, right because the other alternative that comes to my

823
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 4: brain is I want somebody has to suck the poison

824
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 4: out of the I'm like, I wouldn't even.

825
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: Know where to begin. And then do they it gets

826
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 2: in their mouths? Yeah, that seems dangerous.

827
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 4: Or you'd have to start doing that thing where you

828
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 4: like cut the trachial tube and then you stick the

829
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 4: straw in and that probably does nothing for the snake bite.

830
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 4: But that's what my instinct is, is to like literally

831
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 4: like cut a hole in someone's.

832
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 2: Throat imediately to the trach' immediately that's usually or like

833
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 2: stick the stick the knife in the side to relieve

834
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: the pressure, you know what I'm talking about, Where like

835
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 2: they that happens in like a have in so many

836
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 2: movies and TV shows.

837
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 3: You're just laying the groundwork right now for a future

838
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 3: criminal case against you for murder. Where it's like they

839
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 3: were bit by a snake and my immediate thought was

840
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 3: stab them in the side, cut their throat. It's not

841
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 3: my fault that TV taught me these things exactly. I

842
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 3: mean we have to I mean, you did mention you

843
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: kind of had a with your van situation, a panic. Yeah,

844
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 3: so you are not someone to be trusted in any

845
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 3: high stake situation.

846
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 2: No, not at all. Do not take this man on

847
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: a hike, do not take him on a helicopter.

848
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 4: Ride, and don't trust me in poker, baby, high stakes poker.

849
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 4: Can't be trusted.

850
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 2: So this block? Should I try it out? Yeah? Do

851
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: you want to? I think what you can do? And

852
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: I looked at this before. I can't. I think you

853
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: can get into like a push up position, a push

854
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 2: up position, put your one hand on Can I put

855
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: this on the ground and just kind of okay, one

856
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: hand on the ground and one hand on the block,

857
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 2: So you want to move the block maybe?

858
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 3: Yeah?

859
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 2: And then this and do like a push up. So

860
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: this isn't yoga to me, No, this is exercise, right,

861
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: And so I guess where would how would we use

862
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: the I want to test it as a pillow because

863
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 2: oh yeah, it could be not a comfortable pillow in anywhere.

864
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: Oh you know what you could do maybe the small

865
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 2: of your back and then yeah, oh no, I'm sorry.

866
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 2: I feel like I know maybe you're supposed to have

867
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,479
Speaker 2: more than one and you could like, maybe do something

868
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: like this, like a plank. Does that work? Yeah? I

869
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: feel like that could be it.

870
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 3: But again, I guess I've never done yoga, so I

871
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 3: mean I can do a child's post, but that doesn't.

872
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: I don't feel like the block really would do anything there,

873
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: Like why are you holding holding, just holding onto the block? Yeah,

874
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 2: I'll look into it.

875
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there is a diagram that I think

876
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 3: is on the page where I bought it, okay, And

877
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 3: I kind of just briefly glanced at it, and I

878
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, I think I get it.

879
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 2: Did you test this at all before you brought it?

880
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: No?

881
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 2: I didn't. I was I felt I didn't want to

882
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 2: give you something used even though it's still in it

883
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 2: it's still in its package. I would like to.

884
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 3: I mean, it's still in its plastic wrap, and I

885
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 3: want to feel a shrink with actual texture. Oh yeah

886
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 3: on a laces hold.

887
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe there's a texture to it that would maybe

888
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 2: indicate where it needs this is. Yeah, this is part

889
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 2: of the workout.

890
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, this is and then you throw it away.

891
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 3: You open it and then just toss it. Oh it's

892
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 3: an actually is it very interesting texture? It's almost like

893
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 3: a velvety eras or feel that. Oh wow, yeah, I

894
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 3: don't mind that at all.

895
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 4: Let's see if we can m hm, oh that gives

896
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 4: me a little synesthesia, doesn't really. I have a thing

897
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 4: with like like napkins where like my mouth becomes dry,

898
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 4: and just touching that made yeah, made my mouth dry

899
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 4: a little bit.

900
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 3: If I could, If I just continue to do it,

901
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 3: it will eventually drive you fully insane.

902
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, or at least parched. Not fully parched. He died

936
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 4: very horoscopy in the way that it sort of analyzes

937
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,240

938
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 4: called like disc dot org. That's definitely not it. But

939
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 4: I think if you google the disc test, I would

940
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 4: highly recommend it. And it really kind of tells you,

941
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 4: like how the dynamics that you present to the world

942
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 4: what you actually are and how you want the world

943
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 4: to see you or something like that.

944
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 2: So it's interest recommendation. Yeah, I mean I want to

Speaker 3: these are the three gifts you'll be giving today. Number

972
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 3: one is an ergonomic keyboard.

973
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 2: Are you familiar with what this is? This for? Like

974
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 2: people with carpal tunnel.

975
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 3: I think it kind of was. It feels like it

976
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 3: had its day in the sun in like nineteen ninety eight.

977
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 3: It was kind of a keyboard broken in half with

978
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 3: a weird hill in.

979
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 2: The middle, right right right.

980
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure who it was actually for, but

981
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 3: it felt like I had some sort of health benefits,

982
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 3: some nebulous thing, and it was at the same time

983
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 3: as those strange trackball mice.

984
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 2: Do you remember those?

985
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, no one liked that kind of a cyclops situation. Okay,

986
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 3: so an ergonomic keyboard. Number two, and this is the

987
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 3: first for this podcast. Actually a listener has suggested a gift,

988
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 3: and it's a plastic bag filled with other plastic bags.

989
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 3: Thank you, Alexandria. You know, a grocery store plastic bag,

990
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 3: maybe Gelson's what have you stuffed with other plastic bags?

00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 3: giving them, you know, an incredible somebody who's.

993
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 2: Are we thinking like a TikTok dancer or are we

994
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: thinking more like a cheeta rivera. I think we're thinking cheetah.

995
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 3: Okay, we're thinking cheetah here, and you'll be giving them

996
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 3: to the following people. Number one du A Lipa, m h,

997
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 3: she's you know, she's at the top of the charts

998
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 3: at all times. Number two Nick and Vanessa Lasha, All right,

999
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 3: are they happily married? It's impossible to say. I feel

1000
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 3: like the tabloids are stirring the simmers. Something's happening in

1001
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 3: that marriage. Look, I've seen headlines, I've seen them on

1002
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 3: us weekly I've seen them on the National Inquirer.

1003
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 2: They host those shows, they host those Netflix shows.

1004
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 3: So I hope the thing that's happening in their marriage

1005
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 3: is love, yes, but who knows what happened goes on

1006
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 3: beyond closed stores, behind closed Doors, not beyond closed Doors,

1007
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 3: but that's an interesting new turn off the closed doors.

1008
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 3: That's pretty exciting. Beyond closed Doors, Nick and Vanessa their

1009
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 3: next series, Beyond Beyond Closed Door. It's kind of an

1010
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 3: unsolved mysteries thing hosted by those two. I would watch

1011
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 3: that show. Yeah, let them host unsolved mysteries that.

1012
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 2: They're going hard on that soundboard right now.

1013
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,720
Speaker 3: Just pounding. I'm gonna break the soundboard. The birds are singing.

1014
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 3: I need to get the natural situation happening. Okay, while

1015
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 3: we're off track here, So we've got Dualipa, we have

1016
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 3: Nick and Vanessa Lasche and finally we love her Annette Benning.

1017
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 2: A Nett Benning. Oh my god, can you even remember

1018
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: the gifts that I said, I feel like we've my

1019
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 2: soundboarding was no, I do.

1020
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 4: I believe the gifts were an ergonomic keyboard, okay, a

1021
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 4: plastic bag filled with other plastic bags, yes.

1022
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 2: And the third one was a dancer's physique.

1023
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 3: Set dancers physique. Okay, three gifts on everyone's wish list?

1024
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: Yes, oh my god.

1025
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I mean I know which one

1026
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 4: I would want, and so the plastic bags, Yeah, the

1027
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 4: plastic bags. Let's figure out a way to end this

1028
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 4: miserable existence. No, I all right, Well, my first my

1029
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 4: first thought going right in, like, the ergonomic keyboard is

1030
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 4: going to go to Nick and Vanessa now that I

1031
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 4: know that there's possible trouble in paradise, because I think

1032
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 4: it lends itself to two hands typing oh interest, So.

1033
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 2: One one could be the home keys on the right.

1034
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 4: One could be the home keys on the left, And

1035
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 4: I think that could be a really lovely moment where

1036
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 4: like maybe like a therapist or even just a friend

1037
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 4: would suggest typing an email together, or responding to a tweet,

1038
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 4: commenting on an Instagram together and just sort of deciding

1039
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 4: together what to write and then knowing that they could

1040
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 4: type it, and so just them hovering over this ergonomic

1041
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:31,280
Speaker 4: keyboard together.

1042
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 3: Every marriage should start with an ergonomic keyboard. Write them

1043
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 3: vows on it, baby, Two hearts beating is one? Yes,

1044
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 3: two fingers typing home row, here we come. Nick, you

1045
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 3: take the left, I'll take the right. Yes, let's uh

1046
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 3: write these divorce papers. Yeah, yeah, you take that to

1047
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 3: couple's therapy. Yeah, therapist is watching you, guiding you. What

1048
00:50:58,320 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 3: a gorgeously given.

1049
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 2: Gift to the it is. It's really thoughtful. I think,

1050
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: I mean the most thoughtful thing I've ever heard.

1051
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 4: Well, because I can imagine also giving them just one

1052
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 4: thing together as a unit, they would be surprised, and

1053
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 4: then I think to open it up and see that,

1054
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 4: I bet you. I wonder if there're something I think

1055
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 4: something would trigger maybe like right out of the gate,

1056
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 4: like they could kind of realize that this is, this

1057
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 4: is something deeper than just for your carpal tunnel.

1058
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 2: Okay, perfectly given gifts. Okay, thank you.

1059
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 3: Now we've got two remaining items and two remaining celebrities.

1060
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would.

1061
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 4: It's it's interesting because I when giving somebody a dancer's

1062
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 4: physique is interesting specifically with these.

1063
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 3: Two responsibility, the responsibility, the lack of food.

1064
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 2: I don't want. I don't wish that on anyone. However,

1065
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 2: the strong core strong core, and I believe.

1066
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,280
Speaker 4: When I think of these two superstars, do Alipa Internet

1067
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 4: benning that they both already contain multitudes of the dancers

1068
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 4: physical right, But what I'm going to go now and

1069
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 4: include is the arthritis that comes along with it a

1070
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 4: dancer's physique. And for that, just because I feel like

1071
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 4: she's riding too high, I'm going to give.

1072
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 3: It to do weaken those knees. Weaken those knees, give

1073
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 3: her a life in toe shoes. Yes, frequent trips to

1074
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 3: the Cairo practor Cairo. I tried to abbreviate it, but

1075
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 3: then I was like, Cairo's anyway, Kyra trips.

1076
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 2: To Cairo.

1077
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 3: Interesting pun work that a chiropractor could work with their

1078
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 3: Egyptian theme. Feels like you're getting into some bad territory

1079
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 3: as a chiropractor.

1080
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, that feels like it will only be coming back

1081
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: in a bad way. Yeah, but chiropractors, that's an idea

1082
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 2: for you.

1083
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the I think a dancer's physique would

1084
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 3: go to would go to do Alipa though, And for

1085
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 3: that that regard it just because I also I really

1086
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 3: appreciate the work she's already put in, and then I

1087
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,439
Speaker 3: think to have I think, what a lovely reward. Even

1088
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 3: more to just I'm assuming that this this this dancer's

1089
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:07,720
Speaker 3: physique would be permanent.

1090
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 2: Yes it is.

1091
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 3: I feel like an eternal dancer's physique. Okay, God up

1092
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 3: until moment of death.

1093
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 2: Yes, up. Now the body becomes kind.

1094
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 3: Of a gelatinous mess, yes exactly, and as most as

1095
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 3: we know what happens when you die.

1096
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 2: Yes, true, and your bones become dust. Yes.

1097
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 4: And so I think, I think, I think, what a

1098
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 4: fun challenge it would be for for dually but to

1099
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 4: and what a what an interesting platform it would be

1100
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 4: for her to to really be the face of arthritis.

1101
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 3: I feel like there's a song and do about arthritis.

1102
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 3: I mean it's a you are giving her a challenge.

1103
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:46,720
Speaker 2: Yes exactly.

1104
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 4: I'm giving her a challenge only because I think she

1105
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 4: can rise to it, right and Goddess is no joke,

1106
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 4: you know.

1107
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 3: I will.

1108
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 2: I will succumb to it. I'm positive I crack my

1109
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 2: terrible posture. None of us is using an ergonomic keyboard.

1110
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 4: No, well, they went out of style. We've got the

1111
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 4: last one, and we gave it to Nick and Vanessa

Speaker 4: to save their.

1113
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 2: Most will be the two that save the rest of

1114
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 2: us from arthritis. Yes exactly.

1115
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 3: Those two have got to work it out. They've got

1116
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 3: to work it out. Okay, well, then Annette is getting.

Speaker 3: from the backyard.

1148
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 2: It's fine. Yeah, I got some oranges from the backyard

1149
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,520

00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:28,720
Speaker 2: eating a carrot.

1162
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 3: headed into the final segment of the podcast. People are

00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 3: screaming they don't want the brakes to be hit, but

1164
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,360

Speaker 2: It was meant to be. Oh yeah, I want to

1167
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 2: keep you on your edge. On the edge. I'm having

1168
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 2: a hard time. It's the birds. It's me pushing all

1169
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 2: these buttons on the soundboard. Ya if you weren't so

1170
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 2: focused on the soundboard, I.

1171
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 3: Feel like, um, I said no emails. People write into

1172
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 3: I said no gifts at gmail dot com. These people

1173
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 3: are begging for answers. They're out there. They need answers.

1174
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 3: They need answers to social situations, to gift situations. Their

1175
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 3: lives are falling apart. I swoop in, my guests swoops in,

1176
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 3: We carry them to gift Heaven and we answer the question.

1177
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 3: So let's start with this. This is deer Bridge, erre

1178
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 3: and fabulous guest. Which that's a nice thing to say

1179
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 3: about somebody. I know you said no emails, but I

1180
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 3: desperately need your gifting advice. My friend and I live

1181
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 3: across the country from each other, and and we had

1182
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 3: babies about three months apart, her second and my first. Okay,

1183
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 3: it's not a competition. She mailed me a baby gift, however,

1184
00:57:55,680 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 3: I haven't sent her one yet. Exclamation point was the

1185
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 3: appropriate time to send the gift? I was self absorbed

1186
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 3: with my newborn. Now her baby is about six months old?

1187
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 3: Is it too late to send a gift? If not,

1188
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 3: what should I send? Thank you in advance?

1189
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 2: Julie. Julie, Julie, Julie, Julie, Julie, Julie, Julie. Julie does

1190
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 2: not know how to have a baby.

1191
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 3: No, she had this baby and it immediately distracted her

1192
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 3: from everything else going on in her life, including did

1193
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 3: she say her best friend.

1194
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 2: Was her best friend who had the baby, her second

1195
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 2: second baby, which is kind of old news, Julie.

1196
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 3: Okay, first of all, let's just get a nice concise

1197
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 3: answer for Julie, and then we can get into it.

1198
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 2: Do not send the gift. I'm gonna just.

1199
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 3: Say, act like you don't even know the baby, don't

1200
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 3: acknowledge the baby. Not only do not send a gift baby. Ye,

1201
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 3: act like you it never happened. That's the only clean

1202
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 3: way out of this situation is just.

1203
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 2: Too it's just truly hitting the escape key on the

1204
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 2: ergonomic keyboard. When Julie the next time this baby comes in,

1205
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 2: You're in a room with this baby. Don't even look.

1206
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 3: The baby is invisible to Right, that, I would say

1207
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 3: is probably the cleanest way out of this because you've

1208
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 3: made a huge mistake.

1209
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 2: You should have sent a gift immediately.

1210
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is your best friend, and but I mean,

1211
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 3: who knows what else is happening to Okay, she didn't

1212
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:17,919
Speaker 3: say best friend, she just said friends.

1213
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 2: So maybe it's someone she actually hates. But maybe she

1214
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 2: has to examine. Oh yeah, there's a lot that we

1215
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 2: can assume. Right, I can assume whatever I want. Now

1216
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go. Now here's the thing. I really, I

1217
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 2: actually agree that that is the approach that I would take.

1218
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 2: Just do not acknowledge you, do not acknowledge.

1219
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 4: Completely retreat into my own self and the world that

1220
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 4: exists six inches away from my eyeballs, and then refuse

1221
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 4: to ever really participate in that person's life or that

1222
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 4: baby's life ever again. Right, Because you've missed the window.

1223
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 4: That's the way I would feel.

1224
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 2: So I actually feel like the advice that I mean,

1225
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 2: I'm hearing myself when you talk. My advice to her though,

1226
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 2: is that maybe the gift then you to be given

1227
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 2: is the gift of compassion toward herself up to herself. Okay, okay,

1228
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 2: so good.

1229
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 3: Really we need to stop thinking about the worry about

1230
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 3: the gift because you have a new fucking baby. You

1231
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 3: have a new baby that you're obsessed with. Absolutely, yes,

1232
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 3: presumably I'm assuming, I mean, but I mean it seems

1233
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 3: like she's kind of moved past to baby. She's now

1234
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 3: thinking about gifts. For all we know, she forgot about

1235
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 3: her baby.

1236
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly one hundred percent. That's something, right.

1237
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 3: She got into the email and started typing, and baby

1238
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 3: is old news to her. Yeah, yeah, three months old.

1239
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, we've seen all of your.

1240
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 2: Tricks, exactly. Wait to grow up and do something. Yeah,

1241
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 2: it's time to be like a fourth grader, to do

1242
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 2: something fun. Uh, do a book report, Yeah, do a

1243
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 2: book report. Let me help you with the book reporting

1244
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:48,439
Speaker 2: health let me. Yeah.

1245
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, I was I was gonna say, yeah, I

1246
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 4: would say that maybe maybe what you do is you

1247
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 4: just kind of also do the classic when I see

1248
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 4: a girl, I'm taking you out for.

1249
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 2: Dinner because I know you don't have any babies. Because

1250
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:06,439
Speaker 2: I know you don't have any babies.

1251
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 3: I'm not aware of any babies in your life. So

1252
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a girl's night. Yes, we're gonna have fun,

1253
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 3: and it's just going to be like when we were

1254
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 3: in college as best friends and potentially former lovers.

1255
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I really love this narrative. I think that's perfect.

1256
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 3: And then again, if we do need to give the

1257
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 3: baby a gift, if Julie wants to give the baby

1258
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 3: a gift, I think you wait twenty to thirty years

1259
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 3: and you appear in the baby's life and you say

1260
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 3: you don't know me.

1261
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I know you and I've known you since

1262
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 2: you were Yes, I've been biting my time and I'm

1263
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 2: ready to be your mom. WHOA. I think that's a

1264
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 2: perfect solution to this situ.

1265
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 3: Interesting, just kind of really coming in. So this is

1266
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 3: thirty years, thirty years in, So the baby is now

1267
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 3: thirty thirty year old baby, thirty year old, Game for Mommy.

1268
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 2: Looking for Mine, lost in, lost in six flags.

1269
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 3: Belly full of hot dogs, bellyful of hot dogs and

1270
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 3: funnel cakes. H needs a ride home, and here comes Julie. Julie, Julie, Julie.

1271
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 2: Don't know me, but I know you, and I'm ready

1272
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 2: to be your mom. Julie.

1273
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 3: At this point, is I assume eighty five ninety years old? Yes, assuming,

1274
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 3: Julie assuming maybe at sixty.

1275
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 2: I think is a fair assumption as well.

1276
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 3: Potentially some sort of record holder. And she's been having

1277
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 3: the time of her life, and now she's at six Flags.

1278
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 3: She adopts baby thirty years old and gives her that

1279
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 3: ride home that she so desperately needs. That's a beautiful story,

1280
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 3: and that's what a gorgeous Taiale, What a gorgeous tale.

1281
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 2: Don't you want that, Julie?

1282
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 4: Picture that moment you driving home a baby who's thirty

1283
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 4: years old that you've never met from a.

1284
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 2: Six Flags, sick to her stomach, sick to.

1285
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 4: Her stomach with funnel cake and hot dogs. I mean,

1286
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 4: but like, but you were there for her in that moment.

1287
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 4: And that's more than any gift you could ever give somebody.

1288
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 2: It was anything her mother ever gave her because she

1289
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 2: was so focused on baby one exactly, her mother left

1290
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 2: her on a goddamn six Flags, This thirty year old,

1291
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 2: helpless baby.

1292
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 3: She was raised by Six Flags employees. It's kind of

1293
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 3: a Mowgli situation. Absolutely, she's the king of the jungle.

1294
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: She is.

1295
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 3: And of Medusa's twist, which I can only assume if

1296
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 3: there's not a rollercoaster called Medusa's twist, Six Flags should

1297
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 3: be shut.

1298
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 2: They should or at least getten rid of one of

1299
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 2: their flags. Perfect Julie. If none of that works for you,

1300
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 2: then don't write in again. I've gotten rid of one

1301
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 2: of their flagmans they get rid of Can we edit? No?

1302
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 3: I can't imagine we're going to top that advice in

1303
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 3: anything so that, I mean, we did such a perfect job.

1304
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 3: Julie's life is solved. Baby's life is solved. Solutions are

1305
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 3: what we're here for.

1306
01:03:58,320 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 2: Interesting.

1307
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 4: This was a really really cool experience being on the

1308
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 4: show because it started out as like a really fun

1309
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 4: conversation and it turned into us giving this life advice

1310
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 4: that I was like, Wow, it just feels right.

1311
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 3: It feels as I mean, you got out of this

1312
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 3: what you did could never have gotten from the ranch

1313
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 3: in seven days. Look, you're not speaking poorly of the ranch. No,

1314
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 3: branch because I don't want the macy opinion. That is

1315
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 3: an ecosystem up there that is thriving. If the ranch

1316
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 3: wants to come for me, come get me, baby, that's

1317
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I'm starting the motorcycle. I'm turning on

1318
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 3: meat loaf. Yeah, it's blasting. The neighbors can hear their screaming.

1319
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 2: Turn it down the ranch. We know you have Shelley,

1320
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 2: miss Gavage. That's where she is at the ranch.

1321
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 3: She thought it was gonna be seven days and it's

1322
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 3: been fourteen years. Her husband's off riding a motorcycle tom Cruise.

1323
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

1324
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 3: The situation gets worse and worse with each passing day. Yeah,

1325
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 3: somebody save Shelley. Exactly, Brandon, I've had a wonderful time

1326
01:04:58,080 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 3: with you here.

1327
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 2: I've had a wonderful time too. I now have a

1328
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 2: block that can do whatever I want to do. It's

1329
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 2: truly a building block. It can prop up my computer

1330
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 2: while I'm on zoon. Honestly, maybe that's what it's for. Yoga.

1331
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 2: Yoga yoga equipment is meant for the office. I've always

1332
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 2: said that in this.

1333
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 3: Post pan or what is the mid pandemic world, we

1334
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 3: need as many things for our offices as we can get.

1335
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh man, that just made me depress for a

1336
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 4: second mid pandemic. You're right, no, because you're not wrong, you're.
