1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself

2
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: perfectly clear. When you're a guest in my home, you

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests,

4
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: your presences presence, and I already had too much stuff.

5
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: So how do you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: Welcome to? I said, no gifts. I'm Bridger Wineger. We're

7
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: here together. Look, I'm coming in with a real hot energy.

8
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: I feel like I don't know where this is coming from,

9
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: but I feel like i'm speaking at it. I've had

10
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: a more diet coke than I'm used to at this hour,

11
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 3: so maybe that's where that's coming from. Look, I hope

12
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: you've you're sitting still. I hope you've eliminated any distractions

13
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: so you can focus. This is an important hour in

14
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 3: your day, maybe the most important hour of your week.

15
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: Please pay attention. Let's get into it. I'm excited. Our

16
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: guest today is so funny and just fantastic. It's TN

17
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: tran Ten. Welcome to, I said, no gifts.

18
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a pleasure to be here. I'm very honored

19
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: to be here. I am.

20
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: Well, I'm honored to have you here. And you're in

21
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: your closet I'm in my I've spoken about this in

22
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: my previous well last week's episode. I think I don't

23
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: know what time means anymore. I'm sitting in my my

24
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: wet apart, wet office thing that is probably growing mold,

25
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: and I'm bringing this energy dn that I don't understand.

26
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 4: It's okay and like more mold is it? I've dealt

27
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: with a lot of mold. I actually dealt with mold

28
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 4: this morning, so I understand where you're coming from.

29
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 3: What mold were you dealing with?

30
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 4: There are my en suite bathroom off our bedroom. We

31
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 4: stopped using it because it was yellow and it was

32
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 4: making like genuinely, it was just making me sad. We're renting,

33
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: and so the yellowness of the bathroom reminded me of being.

34
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: At a hotel. That was depressing. So we just stopped

35
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: using it.

36
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 4: And over the months, if you stop using a toy

37
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 4: I did not know this, but if you like really

38
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: just like straight up stop using a toilet, the mold

39
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 4: just takes over. And it was growing out of the

40
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 4: bowl like onto the seat.

41
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 3: Nature had taken her back.

42
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 4: Yes, I would just like to I would just like

43
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: to clarify that I'm a very clean person. But we

44
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 4: just let this one to get out of control and

45
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 4: mother nature did reclaim her.

46
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: How possible? How sad could this bathroom be for you

47
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: to just completely shut it down. It's now a forbidden place.

48
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 4: It's like think of like like bile yellow and there's

49
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 4: there are no windows like it's it was.

50
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: It's one of.

51
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 3: Those bathrooms that's a that really is a playground for mold.

52
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you do? How are you dealing with

53
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: your wet rooms?

54
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 3: My god, I have no idea. I don't know what

55
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: to do because you know, it rained like last week

56
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: or whatever, NonStop, and this is my back office and

57
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: I had been out of town, so I hadn't been

58
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: back here, and just by happen happens? Stance? Is that

59
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: the word we're looking for. I feel like I struggled

60
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: with a lot.

61
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: It works for me.

62
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: My boyfriend came back here just he had no business

63
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: being back here, but thank god he did. He comes

64
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: back and it's just full of water, so we, you know,

65
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: spent the day mopping and baling water all this and

66
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: now I've never had to deal with this before, so

67
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: it's like who do you turn to? And I'm talking

68
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: to the insurance company. They're probably going to deny my claim.

69
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: Who no one really turn to.

70
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: I don't. I think there are oftentimes where I just think,

71
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: maybe we just turned this into kind of your bathroom

72
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: situation and just you know, shut it down and seal

73
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: the door and just let mold take it.

74
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

75
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 4: I don't know how the earth reclaim it. It's about time.

76
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: Just let just let her have it. I'm ready for

77
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 4: the earth to reclaim me. I just take me away,

78
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 4: cover me in moss and stones, and I won't have

79
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: to worry about this flooding situation anymore. Why not. I'm

80
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 4: just picturing you now, like painted like Peta from the

81
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,679
Speaker 4: Hunger Gabes, just like your face peeking out from the rocks.

82
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: I wish i'd become grandmother Willow or something. Have you

83
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 3: ever dealt with flooding or anything?

84
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: Yes?

85
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 4: And it's funny that you asked that, because I hadn't

86
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: before until this past year, and I had flown to

87
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 4: visit my parents and it was like my first night

88
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: back before a job, and I was just stopping in

89
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: my parents. They live in San Diego, California, and my

90
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: mom comes rushing into my room at three in the morning,

91
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 4: and he's.

92
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: Like wa a a wake a wake up. And I'm like,

93
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 2: who the what.

94
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 4: And they're babysitting my sister's cat at the time, and

95
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 4: so my mom is like NORII just woke me up

96
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 4: and is freaking out, and I run downstairs and the

97
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: bathroom in the first floor office has flooded. And because

98
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: the pressure was too high for the bathroom and the toilet,

99
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 4: you know, the like little drain that connects the water

100
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: to the toilet bowl, it had fallen off and was

101
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 4: just like.

102
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: Just like hissing around, just.

103
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 4: Hissing around filling it. And it's like my mom and

104
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: I at three in the morning bailing up a back

105
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: bathroom like a sinking canoe, like a true cartoon, Like.

106
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 3: It's the worst, it's the worst. Well, so what did

107
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 3: they do with their situation?

108
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: I mean, we just thankfully it was mostly bathroom and

109
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: only like a little bit of the office. I think

110
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 4: the water is probably still underneath there growing something weird,

111
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: but we're just going to ignore it. And if there's

112
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 4: like not an immediate health impact, I think that's fine.

113
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 3: Okay, that seems like a decent is good, right? I

114
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: feel like I don't I don't know what to do.

115
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 3: We have people come over and they have like one

116
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: of these little laser guns. They shoot at the wall

117
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: and say it's wet. I'm like, of course, it's wet.

118
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: Of course.

119
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: I mean. I had a car flood in twenty ten

120
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 3: oh from La Rain, and I equipped for La Rain.

121
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: I'm not I truly have to today. I was just thinking,

122
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: I truly should just move to Death Valley or something.

123
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 3: I just need to go somewhere where it is impossibly dry,

124
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: because I just keep running into these situations. And I

125
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: obviously have learned nothing from the car thing. That thing

126
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: I just drove to like a local gas station and

127
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: sucked all the water out with their vacuum, probably destroyed

128
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: a gas station's vacuum in mid city Los Angeles, and

129
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 3: then the car just kind of smelled like a terrarium

130
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: for the rest of its days.

131
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: How long did you drive it?

132
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: For? At least another six years?

133
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: You know. I bet that experience, though, did have your

134
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: body acclimate to the potential mold that you're experiencing now.

135
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: So kind of a fungus, you know, container. At this point,

136
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: my lungs are probably just covered in all sorts of moss,

137
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: and it's working. It's working for me. Things get better

138
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: and better, and I have no complaints. What's going on

139
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: in your life?

140
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: Tian?

141
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: Enough about me and my water curse.

142
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 4: Oh you know, just I'm in the Midwest right now.

143
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: What are you doing in the Midwest.

144
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 4: My partner is a professor, so like, I live with her.

145
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: I don't know why that's so weird.

146
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: To say shocking information, news flash.

147
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: Live with my partner.

148
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: And yeah, so like when I'm not working in La

149
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 4: or wherever I'm here.

150
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: Oh, that is lovely, it's really nice.

151
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: Can you say where in the Midwest?

152
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: I'm Champagne? Oh have you heard of her?

153
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: I have heard of her?

154
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Champagne or Banna?

155
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: Are you like how many how long have you been

156
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 3: there since you were working? Because you were on How

157
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 3: I Met your Father in the yall that.

158
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's shot in the fall and that that is

159
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,479
Speaker 4: coming out in a couple of weeks.

160
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: Which is very exciting, so exciting.

161
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: And we've been here for like two and a half

162
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 4: three years now. Okay, it's so it's so nice.

163
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: Did you two meet in La.

164
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: No, we met in Chicago.

165
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, I was.

166
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 4: I was a Chicago person for for a very long time, right,

167
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 4: for like ten years.

168
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: I honestly have not spent that much time in La.

169
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

170
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 3: I kind of just I think because of you know,

171
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: stand up and your work in TV and stuff, I

172
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: just kind of assumed you were in LA. But this

173
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 3: is such a shocking revelation.

174
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: I'm a Midwest gal, total mid time.

175
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 4: I'm from Erie, Pennsylvania, which is like technically the Midwest

176
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: as well.

177
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: Now, is there an Erie Indiana?

178
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: Yes?

179
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 4: And when people mix it up like Erie Indiana, I

180
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 4: think is spelled ee r i E. And it had

181
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 4: a TV show, right, And when people are like you're

182
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 4: from Erie, Indiana, right, and I'm like.

183
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I won't correct you.

184
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 4: I'll just let that.

185
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: No. I smell, I smell a reboot with you in Erie, Pennsylvania.

186
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: What was that show?

187
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Like?

188
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: Very scary? Did you ever see any of it?

189
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 4: No?

190
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: It was like it was four kids, but it was

191
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 3: kind of like I think it was like Goosebumps adjacent

192
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 3: that was like weird things going on, but only the

193
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: kids knew about it. All I remember was an episode

194
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 3: where there were like neighbor kids who were stored in

195
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: giant tupperware containers.

196
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 4: It feels like we're not scaring kids enough with shows

197
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 4: like that anymore.

198
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: I know. I think that there needs to be more

199
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: just pure horror in the life of children.

200
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 4: I think so too, not this reality that they're living,

201
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: just even something scary.

202
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: Right, We need them to We need to adjust the

203
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: scales where reality is no longer pure horror. But the

204
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: things were watching on television are scary.

205
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 2: Were you scared by the Tupperware story?

206
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: I remember being it was one of these shows that

207
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: we would go to my grandparents' house and it would

208
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: just be like on TV and just made me feel

209
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 3: unsettled while we were bored at grandma's house. If that

210
00:10:59,240 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: makes sense.

211
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 2: Yes, I know exactly, I know exactly what you mean.

212
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 3: Did you watch any scary stuff as a kid.

213
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 4: I'm a bit of a scaredy cat, like true, truly.

214
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 4: I don't like to be scared at all, period. Don't

215
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: like I've been invited to. Not to brag, but I

216
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 4: have been invited to some of those scary mazes, and I.

217
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 3: Huge brag.

218
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: Don't mean to make anyone jealous, but I've had I've

219
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: been invited.

220
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 3: And fens want me to come to things, friends, friends want.

221
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: Me to come to be scared, and I refuse to go.

222
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 2: I don't like it. I think I've only seen maybe

223
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: one scary movie in theaters.

224
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: Which movie was that.

225
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: It was get Out.

226
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: It's pretty scary movie.

227
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: It was very scary, but I felt like culturally I

228
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 4: needed to watch it.

229
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it also wasn't just like just for scares.

230
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: It like you had a bigger thing going on and

231
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: it was, you know, art and this kind of yes,

232
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: so you felt like being part of the conversation.

233
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 2: I love art. Do you do you like being scared?

234
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna ask if I liked art,

235
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 3: and I was gonna say, do you flat out no,

236
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: despise art? The arts should be destroyed. But as far

237
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: as being scared, I well, actually I used to love

238
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 3: being scared. I used to love horror movies. I used

239
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 3: to love going to haunted houses, you know, like the

240
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: mazes and whatever. I used to love playing scary video.

241
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: Games, sick stuff.

242
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: I'm I'm it's my strength in that area has weakened.

243
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: Scary movies. I've got to be in the exact mood.

244
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 3: Scary video games I almost can't do. And what's the

245
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: other thing, the scary mazes. I'm kind of just bored

246
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: at this point because it's kind of just weird high

247
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 3: schoolers getting too close to you.

248
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

249
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: I'm over that too.

250
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. But something I have learned and like, like you're saying,

251
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 3: like you don't like being scared, that's something I learned

252
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 3: with my boyfriend where I was like, just watch the

253
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: scary movie with me. Well, I don't see what the

254
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: problem is. But for some people it is just not

255
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: an enjoyable activity in any way.

256
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: No, because for me, it's that I know it's not

257
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 4: rational to take away some of the things from the

258
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 4: scary movies. But like if I were to have seen

259
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 4: the kids being trapped in tupperware when I was younger,

260
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: I would have thought about that for days, Like.

261
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: What about for decades? Like me, I've been haunted my

262
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: entire life.

263
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 4: Clearly, all your food is just loose in.

264
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 3: The fridge, just rotting, speaking of mold.

265
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 4: Um.

266
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you don't like scary things. You've seen one

267
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: scary movie? Yeah, I think that's fine. I mean this

268
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: goes into I didn't realize there was the term for

269
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 3: a lot of these things, benign masochism. Have you heard

270
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: of this? No, which is basically I read about it

271
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 3: a few, well a couple of years ago, but it

272
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 3: basically describes like why people enjoy eating spicy food or

273
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: watching scary things or bungee jumping or whatever where like

274
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 3: makes you feel like you're in danger but you're not.

275
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: Okay, See, well, these are people that are living their lives.

276
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: I was liked.

277
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 4: I just like to not test the limits at all

278
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: and just hope I float through in a sort of

279
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: like soft numbness.

280
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: You know, you just like a straight up benign Yeah.

281
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just benign benign benignness.

282
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: Do you like anything? Do you like spicy foods or

283
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: bitter foods? Or why am not only describing flavors at

284
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 3: this point?

285
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: If you're asking me if I do like to live

286
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: a little?

287
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: I do?

288
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: I mean like I'm a I'm a spicy food fan.

289
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: Okay. Do you like a hot sauce?

290
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: I love a Frank's Red.

291
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 3: Oh I had some Franks Red I'm not kidding not

292
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 3: two hours ago on what Well this is the problem.

293
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: I put it on cottage cheese and it didn't taste

294
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: that good.

295
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: Have you done that before?

296
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: Love?

297
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 3: I love cottage cheese well documented on this podcast, and

298
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: I'll put other hot sauces on, so I thought, why

299
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: not this? And it didn't work. Have you tried it?

300
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 4: No, I have not tried that, but I haven't eaten

301
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 4: a lot of cottage cheese in my life.

302
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: I highly recommend.

303
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I've heard great things.

304
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: Speaking of again, benign, it's probably the most benign snack

305
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: you can eat.

306
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 4: But Frank's red Hot is a fave, and I would

307
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 4: put that, put that on anything. I also do love

308
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 4: a somball, the chili garlic, Oh my god, the best,

309
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 4: the best. I think Saracha's way over hyped. And I'm

310
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: sure your listeners would agree with me.

311
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: And well, we'll come back to that.

312
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 4: I do. I think I think it's delicious, but I

313
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: think it needs to have like a quiet moment, like

314
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 4: a like step away from the limelight for a little

315
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 4: bit and let other sauces shine.

316
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: I think it's doing that. I think it had its

317
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: moment from about it really stole the spotlight from what

318
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: would you say, twenty ten to twenty eighteen?

319
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: No, I would, I would agree with that. I would agree.

320
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 3: And now it's like kind of now it feels like

321
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: kind of the elder statesman of hot sauces it step

322
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: back some new hot sauces are on the scene. I'm

323
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 3: trying to think if there's anything else that I really loving.

324
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: There's this type of hot sauce at a it's more

325
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 3: of a salsa that's black. At this taco place I

326
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: go to in La that's almost like tastes like smoke

327
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: or something. I think it's I don't know what it is.

328
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: Do you like it?

329
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: It's very dramatic. I love it. It's hot, it's extremely spicy. Yeah,

330
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: I love that.

331
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: I love a top of TiO, Love a top of TiO.

332
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 3: All the thing I don't do is tabasco. Do you

333
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: like a tabasco?

334
00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: No, I don't like tabasco.

335
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: That one. We've just got to give the great too.

336
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't. I don't get it.

337
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 4: I never have, And sometimes when I see it, I'm like,

338
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 4: I'll give her a shot, and then it always disappoints.

339
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 3: It sucks. It's not a good hot sauce.

340
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 2: No, I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

341
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 4: My sauce of choice for everything is a one steak sauce.

342
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 3: Oh. I love an a one but you're putting it

343
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 3: on everything.

344
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 2: Oh, it goes on everything.

345
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: It is a good flavor. I guess I've just never

346
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 3: I have only ever had, you know, stomach. Yeah, I

347
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 3: think so. And I'm eating one steak every five years.

348
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: Like when am I at a steakhouse? When am I

349
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 3: like grilling up a steak? But you're putting it on

350
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 3: like vegetables, Yes, right, vegeta. Do you eat meat?

351
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 4: Yes, I am. I am a big meat lover.

352
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're putting it on your chickens? Oh yeah, okay.

353
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 3: I'm very easy to go out to dinner with because

354
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 3: I have I will eat literally anything. I'm the person

355
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: that no one needs to worry about.

356
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 4: I really think that piggy eaters are are the worst,

357
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 4: and to hang out with them is my benign masochism.

358
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 4: Like that's my shot in the arm, is being around

359
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 4: someone like that.

360
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: Do you and your partner have pretty open palettes as

361
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: far as eating?

362
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: Yesia, Oh I'm so jealous. Oh why do you not

363
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 2: have that?

364
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god? No, My boyfriend has a very difficult

365
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: time eating out of his comfort zone.

366
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 4: Is it like a a like he didn't grow up

367
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 4: with it?

368
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: Or like, yeah, he grew up eating like hot dogs

369
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: and chicken palm and hamburgers and he now has literally

370
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: a podcast called baby Mouth where the person comes on

371
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: and introduces him to you. I mean, I've strongly encouraged

372
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: it because I was like, maybe this will get him

373
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 3: to eat new things. And I kind of blew up

374
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: in my face because now I'll be like, you should

375
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 3: try this. He's like, well, but I'd like to eat

376
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: it on my podcast. So it's just ruining. I cannot

377
00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: escape this.

378
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: Monster.

379
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 3: Now do you two cook a lot?

380
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

381
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, a big big time cooks in the kitchen.

382
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: Do you like to eat out at all?

383
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: I love? I love to eat out.

384
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 3: And in your area? Is there a good places to

385
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: be eating?

386
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 4: Sure?

387
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 2: Three that I can names.

388
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 4: We've found our we found our faves, and we returned

389
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 4: to it often. There's a beautiful, stunning barbecue place here

390
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: that I love so much, slow smoked and just delicious,

391
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: fall off the bone, like Saint Louis style ribs, the dream,

392
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 4: the dream, and then they smoke their chicken wings too,

393
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 4: and I absolutely love smoked chicken wings. Sometimes my partner

394
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 4: gets a little freaked out about how horny I get

395
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 4: for me, like because like I do, I love, I

396
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 4: love it. And then there's like and amazed. There's actually

397
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 4: a very large like Chinese international student population here. So

398
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 4: the Chinese food here is amazing. Oh in Champagne, Illinois.

399
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: That's crazy. Who would have guessed? That's great? Yeah, so

400
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 3: you've got a barbecue place, a Chinese place.

401
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 4: And it would be wrong of me not to mention Papadell's,

402
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: which is the deep dish pizza place here.

403
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 3: Oh, I love. I think I've been to that place. Really,

404
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 3: it's like kind of outside of Chicago. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

405
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 3: oh yes, I went there a pre pandemic. It's so

406
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: maybe twenty nineteen. Oh, it was phenomenal, delicious.

407
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 2: Are you the cook in your fam?

408
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 3: No, neither of us cooks. I'm the baker.

409
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 4: What do you do?

410
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 3: Waste money? Just eat out constantly? It's embarrassing.

411
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: No, it's not.

412
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 3: It's fitzy, immoral. No, no, no, I don't. I don't

413
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 3: support myself in this. I think I'm constantly mad at

414
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: myself that I'm not better at cooking. I am, like

415
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: I think there was, I mean, we were cooking so

416
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 3: much to during the pandemic, or at least I was

417
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 3: that I got burnt out and then went the other

418
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 3: way where I was just eating out basically at least

419
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 3: well one to two meals a day. But now I'm like,

420
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's cold. I'm in the mood

421
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 3: to make soup.

422
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: You should do.

423
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: You make many soups.

424
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 2: I'm a big soup maker.

425
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: I grew up with a lot of soups, so like

426
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 4: Vietnamese cuisine is like, oh, of course, yeah, very soup forward.

427
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 3: One of the most famous soups in the world.

428
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: I think. So, I think the best soup in the world.

429
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,239
Speaker 2: There I said it.

430
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: I don't care the listener we're talking about fa.

431
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 4: Yes, we are, we absolutely are. It's my favorite. I

432
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 4: still don't know how to make it.

433
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: It seems complicated to me because it's like a very

434
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 3: layered broth.

435
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 2: It's very layered.

436
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 4: My mom has taught tried to teach me, like multiple times,

437
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 4: and I can never quite get it. And I ended

438
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 4: up making just like hot beef water, which is.

439
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 3: It doesn't sound so bad. Yeah, I would be very

440
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 3: intimid intimidated trying to make a fusz soup because it's

441
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 3: like you take a sip of it and it's like

442
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 3: there are ten different flavors I'm tasting right now.

443
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're tasting a whole nation, you know.

444
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, just a beautiful story about a whole group of people,

445
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 4: like just just it's stunning, it's lovely, it's lovely, And

446
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 4: other soups I've tried to make that are like there

447
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 4: are you know, once you get into fud and then

448
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 4: you can go into other types of soup. My other

449
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 4: favorite is muonbah Way, which is like a pork spicy

450
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 4: pork based soup.

451
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: Oh that sounds nice.

452
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 4: And again I've tried to make it and end up

453
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 4: with just like hot pig water.

454
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 3: So like these, I don't know if you're just bathing

455
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: farm animals, just using a lost.

456
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: Sweat soup, I don't know.

457
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 4: And my dear partner really sweetly is just like slipping down.

458
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 4: It's like suggest like a ghost of a soup, and like, do.

459
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: You know what soup I want to get going? I

460
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 3: think that needs to be trending more. It's a Thai

461
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 3: soup called Tomiam. Have you ever had Tomiam?

462
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: I love it.

463
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: It's phenomenal and I don't know why it's not more popular.

464
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: It needs to be.

465
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 3: It's so comforting and it's sour, it's spicy, it's got

466
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: a little bit of everything, and I ate a lot

467
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: of it years and years ago, and now that I'm cold,

468
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 3: I'm getting it all the time. We need to get

469
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 3: some more soups on the rotation here. I feel like,

470
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, LA is not a soup town. So

471
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 3: I think that's part of the problem. I it would

472
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: be nice to have one store that just has, you know,

473
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 3: one restaurant that is just to count on for soup.

474
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: I shouldn't. I don't want to like scour through menus

475
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 3: looking for what soup do they have to after? I

476
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 3: want to see nothing.

477
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 4: But like you, so, you want the equivalent of like

478
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 4: a Noodle's and Co. For soup, but for soup.

479
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 3: Right, I mean New York. I haven't been to this

480
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 3: place in a long time. In New York. It's called

481
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 3: Halen Hardy. Have you ever been there? No, it's entirely soups.

482
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 3: I mean the last time I ate there it was good,

483
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 3: but that was twelve years ago. It might be horrible. Now.

484
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: I had soup.

485
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 4: I had soup for lunch today, well soup. I had

486
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: a orzo lemon chicken. Oh my god, I know, have.

487
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: You heard those words together before?

488
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: Sounds delicious?

489
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: It was amazing.

490
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to stop myself now. I feel like

491
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 3: I'm just going to talk about soup for another hour.

492
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: We've got I have something else I need to talk

493
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: to you about. Okay, look, you agreed to be on

494
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,239
Speaker 3: this podcast. I can't even remember at this point a

495
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: month or so ago, and I was so excited. I thought, ten,

496
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: it's gonna come on. We'll talk about soup endlessly. The

497
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 3: podcast will end, and we'll move on with our lives.

498
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: The listener will have a pleasant time, I'll have a

499
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 3: nice time, and no feelings will be hurt. And so

500
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 3: I was a little surprised. You know, the podcast is

501
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 3: called I said Gifts. And recently I opened the front

502
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 3: door and there was a box address to me, which

503
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 3: I kind of actually, uncharacteristically just ripped into. Usually i'm

504
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 3: a little bit more careful because you never know what's

505
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 3: going to come to your house. But I thought maybe

506
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: I forgot that I ordered something. I opened it up

507
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: and stopped in my tracks when inside I saw a

508
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 3: little bag, a little what can only be described as

509
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: a gift bag. It also has a little note attached

510
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 3: to it, which I haven't read yet, because you know,

511
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to. You know, I try to live

512
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 3: life deliberately and carefully, and so I thought I'll read

513
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 3: that when the time comes. And now I'm just going

514
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 3: to ask you, is this a gift for me?

515
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 4: I'm really sorry, but it is. It is, Okay, I said,

516
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 4: I know you said not too, but I just.

517
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 3: Right. So I'm just processing this, trying to just, you know,

518
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: figure out how this fits into my life at this point.

519
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 3: Do you want me to open it here on the podcast.

520
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: That would be a gift to me.

521
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 3: Okay. Now, I'm not in the business of giving away gifts,

522
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 3: but as a special little you know, it is the

523
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 3: new Year. I'm trying to be better in all arenas,

524
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: so maybe i'll I'll open this here, please, I'll read

525
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: this little note here. First it says, oh, it says,

526
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 3: new Year, new you. I know you've been a bit

527
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: afraid to take the leap, but maybe this will help

528
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 3: ease you into the next stage of your life. You're

529
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 3: gonna You're gonna look great. X O t M. And

530
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: then it says again from ten trend.

531
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: I think that was the message, Jing. We don't know

532
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 2: how that works.

533
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 3: But and there's also this envelope. Should I open this

534
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 3: as well before opening the gift?

535
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: Not sure what that is.

536
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 3: It's going to be like compromising photos of me or something.

537
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 3: Let's see here, this says, oh it's again the message.

538
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 4: Okay, good, good, good, and they I meant to do that.

539
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 4: I meant to say I meant to gift it twice,

540
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 4: the message twice.

541
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: You want this message, just repeat it over and over. Well,

542
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 3: in that case, I'm going to read it. Yes, please,

543
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 3: new Year, New you. I know you've been a bit

544
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: afraid to take the leap, but maybe this will help

545
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 3: ease you into the next stage of your life. You're

546
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 3: gonna look great. X O t N from ten Trent. So, okay,

547
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: it's time to open the gift.

548
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm so sorry.

549
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry, but I really needed to.

550
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 3: I appreciate the apology, and uh, you know, I feel

551
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 3: like we had such a bonding with the soup that

552
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 3: I'm to look past it.

553
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 4: Think of this as like benign benign. I was gonna

554
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 4: say narcissism.

555
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 3: That's my entire podcast, and then I thought you were

556
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 3: gonna say benign Marxism, which could be another thing.

557
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 4: Which is another thing entirely that I wouldn't even be

558
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 4: smart enough to talk about.

559
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 3: Neither of us has the intellect to dissect what that

560
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 3: would mean. Okay, let's get into this. This is my

561
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 3: little benign masochism moment. This is my hot sauce. This

562
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 3: is my stumbling through a haunted maize.

563
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 4: Okay, great bag is really we don't.

564
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 3: Get this sound much on this podcast. We usually get

565
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 3: like tissue wrapping, but I kind of like this.

566
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: Whatever, what kind of material is that?

567
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: It's impossible to say, this feels like something that could

568
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 3: like you could would probably withstand a plate and crash.

569
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 4: It's okay to tell Okay, on your next trip reaching in.

570
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 3: Okay, now we've got a tissue. This is this company

571
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 3: goes a little far with the wrapping.

572
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 4: This is the first time I've ever done that, and

573
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 4: I've never seen this far.

574
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 3: Who wrapped this? What horse soul? I know?

575
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 4: Tissue?

576
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 3: Okay? Another?

577
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 4: Oh oh my car, because I know, I know it's

578
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 4: I know it's something that you have been playing around with.

579
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 3: We've had multiple phone calls about this. I'll call you

580
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: in the middle of the night and I'll say TN,

581
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: do I need bangs?

582
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 4: Yes?

583
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: And you've been also, you've been wishy washy. There have

584
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: been times you've supported so, there have been times you've

585
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: said it would ruin me, which is not you know,

586
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 3: I would have appreciated a little bit more of a

587
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 3: direct answer from you. So this feels like the answer.

588
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I thought maybe, like maybe we just needed

589
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 4: to see it, you know, like all our phone combos

590
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 4: have been so hypothetical, and I really think that I

591
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 4: think you could pull them off or it might ruin you.

592
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 4: But now we have an opportunity to try. And it

593
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 4: won't be like a permanent right, not not a permanent

594
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 4: bang a bang.

595
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 3: Now, listener, what I've opened here is essentially a clip

596
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 3: on bangs. It's a It's like a little piece of

597
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: hair that could which I will now I've i didn't

598
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 3: have self view on Zoom until now. I've now turned

599
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 3: it on as a little mirror for myself. I'm going

600
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 3: to apply, or at least attempt to apply, these clip

601
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: on bangs. It's like a nice Uh what would you say?

602
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: That's like a chestnut?

603
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd really tried to match. But he feels options like,

604
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 4: oh my god, this looks great. It's a total transformation.

605
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 3: I look like this, it'd almost gives You've made the

606
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 3: look of Parker Posey in Best in Show. I'm getting

607
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 3: an angry dog owner.

608
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: We just need to give you braces.

609
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 3: Oh my god, if someone gave me braces.

610
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: Okay, it is such a strong fringe.

611
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: This is incredible. Look at this. Look God, look you.

612
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 4: I feel like the way you're even trying it feels

613
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 4: so natural, like you already know how to play with

614
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 4: your own banks, talking it behind your ears, like flipping

615
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 4: your fingers through it, just to fringe it up a

616
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 4: little bit.

617
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 3: You're natural just sitting on my head. I'm not even

618
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 3: clipped in, and we're just in it. I mean, I

619
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,239
Speaker 3: look gorgeous.

620
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: You look stunning.

621
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 3: This is this might be my new look this What

622
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 3: if this just is some new transformation for me that

623
00:31:55,080 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 3: people are like, well that was before Bangs Bridger, but

624
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: this is now post Bangs. This is a full on

625
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 3: disguise for me.

626
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 4: It is it has a There were a lot to

627
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 4: choose from.

628
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, how did you like? What was the decision making process?

629
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 4: I was really thinking about your face shape because.

630
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: It's so it's so important to me.

631
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 4: And I wanted a very strong fringe, not like, not

632
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 4: any sort of like wispy art school bullshit, like. I

633
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 4: wanted like a severe blunt cut with some fringe on

634
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 4: the like some face framing.

635
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 3: I could use some face framing right.

636
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 4: Around your cheekbone, your beautiful cheek bones, just to like

637
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 4: hit it right there, to really focus and highlight it.

638
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 4: But I know it's something that you wanted to try

639
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 4: in the new year, and you were nervous, begging.

640
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 3: You to just give me, you know, give me a sign,

641
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: give me an answer. Do I do bangs? And now

642
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 3: here we are, and I think it's like could not

643
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: be more clear. One needs to happen. I mean, I

644
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 3: can't wait for people to see this.

645
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: You look absolutely stunning.

646
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 3: This is absolutely my look. This, I guess open behind

647
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: my ears like that now looks like I've got absolutely

648
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: I am someone not to not be trusted.

649
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 4: Yes, I think transformations are supposed to make you look

650
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: completely different.

651
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: This is almost a Ramones look.

652
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: I love that.

653
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 3: Just depending on how it's sliding down my face.

654
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 4: On a certain angle, you are giving a little like

655
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 4: Johnny Depp Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

656
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: Oh my god, yeah, kind of a page boy.

657
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 2: Like a page boy.

658
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 3: Look at that. What if this is how I looked?

659
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: What do you mean?

660
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 4: What if this is? This is how I I need

661
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 4: to start owning it, own it.

662
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: Put a mask on. No one will ever know who

663
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 3: I am. They'll just think, who is this scary person

664
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 3: walking around the neighbors stunning person? Is this real human

665
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 3: hair that I don't know?

666
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: Does it say or did it just come in a

667
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 2: plastic bag with no?

668
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 3: Doesn't? It gives very few details, you know, it gives

669
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 3: like product number basically, And I will say, I guess right,

670
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 3: chestnut is a chestnut brown. Okay, so I'm getting better

671
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 3: at identifying hair tones.

672
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it's not real hair.

673
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, real hair is very expensive. I mean, but I

674
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: will say, this is the finest semi wig I've ever owned.

675
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: I mean, this could go also go on my dog. Oh,

676
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 3: my god, of course I'm going to put it on her.

677
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 2: My goodness.

678
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 3: We'll take pictures of the dog, me and the thing.

679
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have a whole parade of photos of me.

680
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't wait.

681
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: Wow, this is You don't have bangs.

682
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 4: I don't, but I had them for they were a

683
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 4: very big part of my personality.

684
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 3: Not just of your appearance, but you're in hair.

685
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: My whole being. Like when was this through childhood?

686
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 4: Like I had the classic in grade school, I had

687
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 4: my mom gave me a haircut and I had the

688
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 4: classic like straight across bangs and like bowl longer bowl

689
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 4: cut that look.

690
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 2: I loved it too.

691
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 4: And then in high school, my best friend taught me

692
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 4: about a side part right huge, huge for me, so

693
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 4: I had. I had the sweeping bangs like the which

694
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 4: was very popular like Sarah Michelle Giller first had it

695
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 4: to sweep and the.

696
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 3: Flip, so I love the flip.

697
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 2: We loved. I woke up.

698
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 4: Every morning before middle school and flipped my hair out and.

699
00:35:53,880 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 2: Like I tried so hard to be straight, didn't we all?

700
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 4: I know? And then you know, the most difficult time

701
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 4: I had with my banks is when in senior year college,

702
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 4: I just went to a super cuts to get a

703
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 4: trim on them, which was a supercut is great, but

704
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 4: not for bangs at the moment. At the time, the

705
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 4: person that I was working with did not understand what

706
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 4: I wanted and cut my sweeping banks a little too short.

707
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 4: To the point where my sister I have three sisters

708
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 4: and two of them are older than me. My older

709
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 4: sister and I were fighting so often for some reason,

710
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 4: and then years later she was like, you know what,

711
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 4: I think we were fighting because with those bangs. Everything

712
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 4: you said was annoying.

713
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 3: Oh my god, she just couldn't look.

714
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 4: At you, She couldn't look at me, She couldn't look

715
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 4: at me.

716
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 3: How bad could they have possibly been?

717
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 2: Not bad enough for that?

718
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 3: And who knows? They were probably affecting every relationship in

719
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 3: your life.

720
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: You have, and and no one was brave enough to

721
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: tell me.

722
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 3: Well, they probably didn't realize what was going on. They

723
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 3: probably just you know, it's a subconscious thing. The bangs

724
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 3: were getting to them on a subconscious level, and they

725
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 3: were making everyone hate you.

726
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why I'm friends with no one from

727
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 2: nobody likes me.

728
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 3: From coming just burned to every bridge with those bangs.

729
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 3: Now I know how long did like, how long did

730
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 3: it take you to get them back to a normal length?

731
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 4: I mean, for that particular cut, probably probably like a month,

732
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 4: like a month or two, So it was like a

733
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 4: month or two of I guess sounding stupid because of

734
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 4: my hair.

735
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: But now I like grew out.

736
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 4: I grew out my banks like a couple of years ago,

737
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 4: and I feel like a new I really, do.

738
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 3: You feel free?

739
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 4: I do feel free because bang maintenance, as you'll learn,

740
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 4: eager learn, eager to learn, is you need to take

741
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 4: care of them. They're almost like a It's like a

742
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 4: pet on your head, you know, like you you have

743
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 4: to brush it the right way and blow dry it

744
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 4: the right way or else it won't lay right. It

745
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 4: can ruin your whole day if it's not done correctly.

746
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 4: So you know something to think about.

747
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 3: Do bangs require more like washing, more shampooing just because

748
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: they're you know, near the forehead, which is kind of

749
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: a grease territory.

750
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 4: You know, looking back, I probably could have benefited from

751
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 4: more washing and a little more shampoo use. I was

752
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 4: into the like, don't shampoo your hair so much and

753
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 4: just condition ends. But I would have to say yes,

754
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 4: I think I think just a little bit more care

755
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 4: of cleanliness would have helped. So help someone look at

756
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 4: me with respect, with my.

757
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 3: Bags, complete lack of respect. What would you describe your

758
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 3: personality like in college? What sort of person were you? Oh?

759
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 4: I was. I definitely was the I was a good student,

760
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 4: I was kind. I'm a nerd. I was a pre

761
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 4: med biology kid.

762
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 3: Oh my god, genius?

763
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 2: Then no, no, no, no.

764
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: Oh, come on, I mean I'm handing this to you.

765
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 4: Okay, fine, fine, I'll take it.

766
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: I'm a genius. I'm a science genius, okay, And I

767
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: was a I was definitely.

768
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 4: Like the partier, Like I partied pretty hard, like wanted

769
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,479
Speaker 4: to be a part of a sorority that didn't exist.

770
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 4: I went to a school that didn't have sororities, but like, uh,

771
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 4: we acted like we did. And I was very very

772
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 4: much into like being a part of the sisterhood and

773
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 4: going out and getting drunk and like, you know, trying

774
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 4: to find love.

775
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 2: Bridge.

776
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 3: What school did you go to.

777
00:39:58,880 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: I went to Boston College.

778
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 3: Oh, that seems like an easy place to party.

779
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

780
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 4: You definitely don't stare into mirrors and have like an

781
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 4: existential crisis at parties at all.

782
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 2: That's never happened to me.

783
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 4: I've never stared into a mirror and gone, what are

784
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 4: you doing?

785
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 2: How about you?

786
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 3: My personality in college? Yes, I bet you could survey

787
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 3: every single person I went to college with and they

788
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 3: would have absolutely no memory of my existence. I get

789
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 3: that I commuted, I didn't live on campus or anything.

790
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 3: Just went tried to power my way through it. I

791
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 3: had absolutely no purpose, no direction, stumbled my way through

792
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 3: an English degree, made it out alive, and that's essentially it.

793
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I was. I did not did not

794
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 3: have an incredible time. It was perfectly fine.

795
00:40:58,600 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: You know.

796
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 3: It was just like, I know, I need to get

797
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 3: through this so I have some kind of safety net

798
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 3: for when I make the horrifying attempt at entertainment and

799
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 3: so you know, when this all falls apart, I guess

800
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 3: I can go back to copywriting or something. Not that

801
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 3: copywriting's bad, but that's just not what I want to do.

802
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: I was a copywriter before I got into Were you copywriting? Yeaheah.

803
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 3: I was doing SEO copywriting, which is maybe the most

804
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 3: maddening form of copywriting you can possibly do, because it

805
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 3: means you have to fill paragraphs with keywords almost so

806
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 3: people will search for them on the internet. What sort

807
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 3: of copywriting were you doing?

808
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 2: I was doing life science copywriting.

809
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 3: Oh so that kind of made use of your degree.

810
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 4: That it did, because I did that like thing where

811
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 4: I'd be like I want to use my degree and

812
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 4: be creative at the same time, and I was like.

813
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 3: This doesn't work.

814
00:41:53,640 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 4: It doesn't work. So for like my first six to

815
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 4: like seven years in Chicago, I was working at like

816
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 4: a at two different life science ad agencies.

817
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 2: Can you believe there's more than one.

818
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I'm trying to even conceptualize what you're advertising.

819
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 4: Yes, so it's business to business, So it was it

820
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 4: was only like, you know, writing ads for industry.

821
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 2: Labs.

822
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 4: So like if a hot new PCR machine, what's coming?

823
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and you know that copywriting has happened now.

824
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 4: Then I would have my boss be like, all right, guys,

825
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 4: let's make this sexy.

826
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 3: And I'm like, okay, not happening.

827
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 2: Not happening.

828
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 3: So it's kind of it was kind of like the

829
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 3: sort of copywriting would probably be seen at like medical

830
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 3: trade shows one doctor's offices. Yes, okay, well that's sort

831
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 3: of stuff catches my eye when I'm sitting there waiting

832
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 3: to get you know, the dermatologist or whatever.

833
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: You've probably seen my work.

834
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 3: I'm very familiar. Your fingerprints are all over the copywriting

835
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 3: space in life sciences.

836
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to brag, but it definitely is.

837
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 3: You left your mark.

838
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 4: So you're telling me that college is not the best

839
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 4: four years of your life.

840
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 3: No, I'm still looking for like these best years of

841
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 3: my life? When are they going to happen to me?

842
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: Me too? Like when when?

843
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 4: When?

844
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 2: When? I don't trust people who say.

845
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 4: That college was the best four years in their life.

846
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 2: I don't try. I don't trust it at all.

847
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 3: That's just people who I think you just are really

848
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 3: get sucked up into nostalgia, just are total nostalgia suckers.

849
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 3: Because I mean high school people saying, what are you

850
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 3: talking about? Those are the best three years of your life?

851
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 3: And then it was downhill, what are we talking about?

852
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 2: What are we talking about?

853
00:43:55,080 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 4: Nostalgia sucks the future. Nostalgia's an absolute it's a trap. No,

854
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 4: you can occasionally glance back, but everything's kind of always

855
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 4: a low grade well it's not low grade misery, but

856
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 4: things are always just kind of fine. I think you're

857
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 4: saying memories are terrible, is what you're saying.

858
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 3: I'm just looking for four golden years that are just

859
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 3: objectively perfect. I'm having the time of my life, yep.

860
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 3: And maybe they'll come. I'm guessing maybe, Like I'm thinking

861
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 3: for me, fifty eight to no, I'm going to say,

862
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 3: fifty six to sixty are going to be my four

863
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 3: best years of my life.

864
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: Okay.

865
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 4: I like those numbers a lot, I really do, because

866
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 4: it's like, by then, I hope we have figured what

867
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 4: we're doing out. Oh my god, I really hope. So

868
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 4: just like the steady ship. Yeah, and everyone that I

869
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 4: know that is at age, No, tons of people.

870
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 2: Are really just like that.

871
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 4: Retire like I want that retire, Like when I retire,

872
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 4: I want to retire. So I would say that, I

873
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 4: would say, like sixty to sixty four.

874
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 3: That feels good, and I want to have your help.

875
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I want a tiny house.

876
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 3: Just easy maintenance is not a problem.

877
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: Don't want to go upstairs.

878
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 4: It's not flooding, not flooding, totally dry, a completely dry,

879
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 4: mold free home.

880
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 3: An on sweet bathroom that you can stand to be

881
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 3: in for more than two minutes.

882
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 4: And there's like a soup farm nearby just because by

883
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 4: irrigation ditches fall of soup exactly. By then we'll have

884
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 4: figured it out.

885
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 3: I love it. I think that we both that's attainable

886
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 3: for both of us.

887
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 2: I think so too.

888
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I think let's just mark the day, will

889
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 3: mark our words, will mark everything we need to right

890
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 3: now for me, fifty six to sixty Okay, that'll bleed

891
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 3: into your sixty to six four.

892
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: We'll just make it overlap.

893
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be a nice over lap of eight years.

894
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 3: And I don't know who knows what will happen after that,

895
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 3: but at least we'll have those years. Okay, it's time

896
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 3: to play a game. I want to play. Let's see,

897
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 3: let's play a game, gift Master. I need a number

898
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 3: between one and ten from you.

899
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 4: Nine.

900
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I have to do some like calculating. When I return.

901
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 3: I'm going to be gone for a minute, so you

902
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 3: can promote, you can recommend, you can do whatever you want.

903
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 3: You have the mic.

904
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: I'll be right back, I guess at this time.

905
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 4: Right now, I would love to talk about my favorite

906
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 4: show Alone, if anyone has seen it out there, I

907
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 4: would love to talk to any Alone heads. It's a

908
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 4: survivalist reality TV show where people are dropped in the

909
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 4: middle of the woods with ten tools only. I like

910
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 4: to watch it because there's a lot of mental breakdowns

911
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 4: later on in this later episodes, which makes me feel

912
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 4: better about how I'm feeling right now in this time.

913
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 4: So if anybody has any thoughts on the most recent

914
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 4: season of Alone, please reach out to me. You can

915
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 4: find me at hank Tina. I'd love to talk to

916
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 4: you about it. I'd love to talk to you about

917
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 4: the possibility of survivalist skills. If you could teach me

918
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 4: some I'd love to trap. That's something that I'm very

919
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 4: interested in.

920
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 3: Enough about alone, Okay, I actually do want to watch

921
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 3: that show if someone recently recommended it to me, and

922
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 3: that sounds fascinating.

923
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 4: That's all I can watch right now.

924
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 3: It sounds calming and stress inducing.

925
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, now.

926
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 3: We found it. We found your benign masochism. Oh yeah,

927
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 3: maybe this is what it is for you, just the thought.

928
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 4: Of someone else being by themselves.

929
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 3: And also, of course we already mentioned it. But you're

930
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 3: gonna be on how I met your father right and

931
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 3: find her, you know, on various social media platforms. She's

932
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 3: very funny all over the internet. Okay, time to play

933
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 3: the game. Okay, this is how the game works. I'm

934
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 3: gonna name three gifts, three potential things you can give away,

935
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,919
Speaker 3: and then i'm gonna name three celebrities, and you're gonna

936
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 3: tell me which gift you're gonna give which celebrity and

937
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 3: why does that make sense?

938
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, all right.

939
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 3: Today's gifts are Number one, this is less conventional. The

940
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 3: gift is the middle name Michelle, so you'll be giving

941
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 3: the person the middle name Michelle. Number two is a

942
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 3: decent act score so we're not talking thirty or above.

943
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 3: We're saying probably twenty five to twenty nine. Okay, and

944
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 3: finally the voice of an angel. So that's a nice

945
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 3: gift to get, okay, and you're gonna be giving them two? Okay,

946
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 3: First up, as Ted Allen. Do you know who that is?

947
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 3: He's the host of Chopped. Yes, we all know him,

948
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 3: but his name is less known. Number two the teenage

949
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 3: witch herself, Melissa Joan Hart. And number three kind of

950
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 3: a oh, kind of grizzled actor Vigo Mortensen.

951
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 2: You're familiar, yes, very familiar, dollgo.

952
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 3: Also, that's probably his least famous for why am I calling?

953
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:38,959
Speaker 4: He was.

954
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 2: Aragon?

955
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 3: Of course?

956
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 2: Yes, wow, I pulled that out of my ass.

957
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 3: Or is Eric Gorn? All of our credibility is just

958
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 3: leaking out. The fantasy community is going to shun up.

959
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 4: They will, and I've seen all of those and I've

960
00:49:58,600 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 4: played the video games.

961
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 2: Let's say, mister A, okay, mister.

962
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 3: A, okay, what are you going to be giving it to? Who?

963
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 2: Right off the bat?

964
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 4: I would like to give Melissa Joan Hart the middle

965
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 4: name Michelle, because.

966
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 2: I like the idea of her name growing.

967
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 4: In length, just exponential exponentially as the celebrity, and it

968
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 4: would be Melissa Michelle Joan Hart because you have to

969
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 4: have the alliteration.

970
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 2: There's no other way to do it, so she would.

971
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 4: I just I just hope that from now on she

972
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 4: just adds a new kind of whatever name as a middle.

973
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 3: Name, Melissa Michelle Joan Hart. That becomes Melissa Michelle Joan

974
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 3: Jean Heart.

975
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 4: Yes, Melissa Michelle Joan Jean Heather Heart.

976
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 3: This could go on for days. I loved it.

977
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 2: This is the new Picnic game.

978
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you start with that corm Melissa Joan Hart, and

979
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 3: then like nine hours later, on a road trip, you've

980
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 3: got like a thousand word name starting and ending with

981
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 3: Melissa and Hart.

982
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 2: I think we just came up with something brilliant.

983
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 3: I think people are going to love that game. That is,

984
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 3: that'll probably lead to the end of the world or

985
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 3: something by some bizarre circumstance, But I love it.

986
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 2: I hope.

987
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 3: So Melissa Michelle Joanhart sounds like a mistake.

988
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 4: Melissa, Yeah, it sounds like it sounds like the parents

989
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 4: in the hospital panicked and we're like and we're like,

990
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 4: what's the baby's name? And I don't know how I

991
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 4: don't know what happens in the hospital when babies are

992
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 4: but I don't know when the name's but like right

993
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 4: after when everything's crazy and the mom is just like

994
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 4: Melissa Michelle Joan Hart.

995
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 3: I love it. That's a perfect play of that gift.

996
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 4: Okay, the act score, the middling act score, A decent.

997
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 2: A decent.

998
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 3: I think is probably eighteen to twenty four.

999
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 2: That's yes, Okay, no offense.

1000
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 3: To anyone who got in eighteen to twenty four. But

1001
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 3: let's call a spade a space.

1002
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And tests are you.

1003
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 4: Know, testing is uh it hicks about how problematic they are.

1004
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 3: Yes, it's testing is not good.

1005
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 2: No, it's not good.

1006
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 4: I would love to give the the act score to

1007
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 4: uh Vigo Mortensen, oh, just because he seems to me

1008
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 4: pretty average.

1009
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 3: And there you go. I hate that you're listening right

1010
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 3: now this. You should have skipped this episode.

1011
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 4: I'm really sorry I said that about you, but I

1012
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 4: don't know your work that well, and honestly, I'm not

1013
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 4: thinking about it often. And I mean Bridgard named Hidalgo

1014
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 4: as you're like massive.

1015
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 3: That's not don't blame Vigo for my mistake.

1016
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 4: So and I could see Vigo kind of like, you know,

1017
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 4: not taking all the test prep courses that were needed

1018
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 4: to get a higher score. You know, I think it

1019
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 4: was more like I could see him just like rolling up.

1020
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 4: I know, I know so much about Vigo rolling up,

1021
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 4: just like from a night of partying, going into the

1022
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 4: classroom with like a broken number two and just half

1023
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 4: the answers weren't even valid because he couldn't scratch in

1024
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 4: the circles well enough.

1025
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 3: So like you'd just come for Vigo Martinston in a

1026
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 3: huge way. Well, I set him up with the Hidalgo

1027
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 3: thing and just made him a target for you.

1028
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I think gifting him the what is it.

1029
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty six to twenty eight, twenty to twenty eight?

1030
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to say twenty five to twenty eight

1031
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 3: that because I feel like twenty nine and above feels

1032
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 3: like a good act score, right, that's like a remarkable.

1033
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. So Yeah he can have that,

1034
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 4: And then Ted Allan, I would love to give the

1035
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 4: voice of an angel because I think he needs some

1036
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 4: more defining characteristics.

1037
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he needs something that makes him stand out a

1038
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 3: little more other than the glasses, which, yeah, probably time

1039
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 3: for a new frame.

1040
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 2: I think a new look.

1041
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 4: I do enjoy him on Chopped.

1042
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 3: He's very good.

1043
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,959
Speaker 4: When you say voice of an angel, I do think

1044
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 4: singing is that okay? So I would love for him

1045
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 4: to be on Chopped and to turn it musical. So

1046
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 4: Chopped the musical starring Ted Allan.

1047
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 3: Kind of like a mid episode break where he just

1048
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 3: brings you know, just whales.

1049
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 4: Absolutely goes for it.

1050
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 2: It would be amazing.

1051
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 3: I would love that. I would love that too, just

1052
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 3: singing like a choir boy, I would. I think we

1053
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 3: would all support him in doing that. Ted, think it

1054
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 3: over Ted Jobs. You know we all love Chomp, but

1055
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 3: the formula is getting a little stale.

1056
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 2: It is baskets, weird foods.

1057
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 3: I mean, why not bring in some singing.

1058
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 4: Some singing and make everyone sing their dish?

1059
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 3: I thought, yeah, I mean you played that excellently at Bravo.

1060
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 3: I really think that the the Michelle to Melissa john

1061
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 3: Hart was kind of a left turn I didn't expect.

1062
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 2: And it worked perfectly.

1063
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 4: I'm so glad, thank you for those amazing setups. I

1064
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 4: haven't thought about Vigo Mortenson in such a lot.

1065
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 3: We're bringing them back. I'm using this to bring things

1066
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 3: into the public consciousness. We've got Tome I'm soup. We've

1067
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 3: got Vigo Mortensen. What will I popularize next? I'm excited

1068
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 3: anyone's guests. Okay, it's time for the final segment of

1069
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 3: the podcast. This is called I Said No Emails. Now

1070
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 3: people are writing into I Said No Gifts at gmail

1071
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 3: dot com. They've been doing it for years. I now

1072
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 3: have seventy pages of emails. To be totally honest, I'm

1073
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 3: probably gonna have to delete a bunch of these because

1074
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 3: it's an avalanche and I need to clear it out.

1075
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 3: People send in some new emails. It's if you didn't

1076
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 3: get an answer last time, maybe email it again. It's

1077
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 3: luck of the draw. We you hope me answer a

1078
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 3: question or two.

1079
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 2: Of course I would love to.

1080
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 3: Okay, number one, let's get up. Let's just get into this.

1081
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 3: It says, dear Bridger and insightful guest, which is a

1082
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 3: nice compliment to you. I am writing about a future

1083
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 3: present concern. Now I'm immediately confused as the we're present here,

1084
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 3: temporal or gift. I'm assuming gift because of the podcast,

1085
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 3: but just Annie. Let's see the person's saying Annie in

1086
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 3: the future, maybe say gift, because when you put present

1087
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 3: next to future that confuses everyone.

1088
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am.

1089
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 3: Writing about a future present concern my husband's birthday in July,

1090
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 3: because the anxiety is year round. My husband's love language

1091
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 3: is presence, and gifts were never a big thing for

1092
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 3: me growing up. He says. It doesn't need to be

1093
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 3: anything expensive, just something that shows that you care and

1094
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 3: have been listening. What does this even mean? We had

1095
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 3: agreed to go to always go on a trip for

1096
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 3: our birthdays they are ten days apart, but COVID makes

1097
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 3: this hard. So now I've got to figure out what

1098
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 3: the perfect thoughtful gift is. I know that I can

1099
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 3: never go wrong with Lego sets, but my house has

1100
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 3: no more room for Lego. Okay, look what you live

1101
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 3: in a Lego store? None of my business background information.

1102
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 3: Loves to travel flying, he's a private pilot. Harry Potter

1103
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 3: nostalgia for the nineties. Oh no, we should Oh no,

1104
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 3: we are a little clear about nostalgia in this episode

1105
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 3: and trying new things. Any ideas, thank you, and that

1106
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 3: of course is from Annie Tin. I'm just going to

1107
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 3: say this right off the top here. I'm feeling a

1108
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 3: deep excuse about this traveling thing. Her husband is a

1109
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 3: private pilot, Yeah, there's no excuse.

1110
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 4: There's no excuse, but you should be flying non stop,

1111
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 4: NonStop if he's a private.

1112
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 2: Pilot, the ultimate luxury. That seems like a dream.

1113
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 3: So what where is the disconnect happening? It seems like

1114
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 3: she's looking for an excuse to buy more legos.

1115
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1116
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 4: I also do love that his love language is a

1117
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 4: thoughtful gift that shows you care, and she's asking a

1118
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 4: complete stranger.

1119
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 2: So that's.

1120
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 3: I think that's huge. I feel like Annie is on

1121
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 3: her way out. I mean, she's got excuses galore. She's

1122
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 3: writing into a podcast for a thoughtful gift two people. Yeah,

1123
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 3: for a thoughtful gift, soliciting advice from two strangers. The

1124
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 3: birthdays in July and look, look knock on wood COVID

1125
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 3: it's January. By July. If COVID is still as big

1126
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,439
Speaker 3: of a concern as it is now, I am going

1127
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 3: to blow up Earth. Yes, so An, we're going to

1128
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 3: become a pair of super villains and just destroy a

1129
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 3: clean slate for the planet. So I feel like, Annie,

1130
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 3: You've got all of these things and you're just you're

1131
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 3: talking about legos.

1132
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Annie, It's it's chaotic.

1133
00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 4: So I feel like, you know, maybe maybe do get like,

1134
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 4: don't get a lego set, but just get a smattering

1135
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 4: of legos that have no set at all, just various colored,

1136
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 4: various colored blocks with no planned.

1137
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 3: Final form, I think, and allow him to be a

1138
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 3: little more creative with it. Yeah, I think that absolutely works.

1139
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 3: And it kind of speaks to her obsession with legos,

1140
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 3: her kind of it's all she's ever thinking about. And

1141
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 3: it could you know, they've been around. They were around

1142
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 3: in the nineties, so that speaks to the nostalgia aspect.

1143
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 3: And then the we've solved the flying situation, Tell him

1144
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 3: to fly you somewhere. He loves to fly. He's a

1145
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 3: private pilot. You want to go on a trip. He

1146
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 3: wants to go on a trip. You fly to Los Angeles, California,

1147
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 3: to go to the Harry Potter Land or whatever the

1148
01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 3: hell it's called done. And then you spring, you know,

1149
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 3: you open let me just paint this picture. You open

1150
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 3: the hotel room, you know, guide him in. He's got

1151
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 3: a blindfold on. You take off the blindfold. The bed

1152
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 3: is scattered with legos, kind of like rosebuds, you know, rosebuds.

1153
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 2: There we go, there we go.

1154
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 3: I don't see. Hopefully there won't be any complaints from Annie,

1155
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 3: because I won't be hearing them. We did a perfect job.

1156
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 3: We're gonna do one more. We have to do one more.

1157
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 3: I would love to do one more community service. Uh

1158
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 3: Hello Bridger and guest. This person wasn't as complimentary to you,

1159
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 3: and I apologize.

1160
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 2: That's fine.

1161
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 3: My wife is amazing. She works very hard for a

1162
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 3: nonprofit that does actual good in the world, loves hiking

1163
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 3: and gardening. Our anniversary and her birthday are coming up,

1164
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 3: and I need help with ideas of what to get

1165
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 3: her for either. She's hard to shop for because we're

1166
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 3: both people who just buy what we want or need

1167
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 3: when we feel like it. Any help, thanks, Nick, Nick,

1168
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 3: you're come on here to brag about your why doing

1169
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 3: good in the world. I know, while I'm answering a

1170
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 3: second email, like I'm not doing any good in the world.

1171
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 3: It's just hurtful when you send you know, I can't

1172
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 3: help but feel like I'm being compared to your wife

1173
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 3: right now.

1174
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 2: Nick, Yeah, it's like a there's no hierarchy of good. Nick.

1175
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 3: Thank you.

1176
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 4: We're doing just as good, if not better than your wife.

1177
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 3: Your wife's, for all I know, a criminal behind the scenes.

1178
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 3: I mean, she might be working for one of these

1179
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 3: phony charities.

1180
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, nonprofit, it doesn't even mean anymore these days.

1181
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 3: It's a catch all. She's probably taking in a seven

1182
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 3: figure salary. And I hate to hear any of this,

1183
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 3: but we're going to try to give you some advice.

1184
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 2: Yep, we know she loves.

1185
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 3: Hiking on gardening. That's and she buys everything that she

1186
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 3: needs and wants with her you.

1187
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 4: Know, million nonprofit, millionaire money.

1188
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 3: She's not paying taxes. She's running an absolute scam. I

1189
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 3: can feel it.

1190
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 4: An anniversary and oh I know, and that creates another issue. No,

1191
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 4: people stop marrying near other events. Okay, just like you

1192
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 4: know when your birthday is just like spread stuff out

1193
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 4: for at least four months. Yes, either spread stuff out

1194
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 4: or do it close enough so that they can be

1195
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 4: one gift. The straddling middling side of things, where you

1196
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 4: like can try to get two gifts close to each

1197
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 4: other is rude.

1198
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 3: It sucks, it makes sense, creates your loved one, It

1199
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 3: creates the situation for your loved ones where they end

1200
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 3: up compromising on both gifts.

1201
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a gift vacuum.

1202
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially when you're already buying up everything you already need.

1203
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 3: It's you're creating just this game that old Nick has

1204
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 3: to play. We don't even know what job he does.

1205
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 3: Obviously not a very he's not doing any good for

1206
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 3: the world, so he's just living in shame and guilt

1207
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 3: all the time. Hiking, hiking, anniversary birthday. Okay, okay, zeroing in,

1208
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 3: I'm thinking maybe you buy some sort of tree, take

1209
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 3: her on a hike.

1210
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 2: Love that.

1211
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 3: Look, this is going to be strenuous. You are going

1212
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 3: to be dragging a tree up into the wilderness with

1213
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 3: shovels and burying it as your special anniversary tree.

1214
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 2: I love that.

1215
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 4: And make sure it's an invasive species so that that.

1216
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 3: Can it can absolutely disrupt the ecosystem. I think that's

1217
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 3: a beautiful idea. Maybe plant some mint and just watch

1218
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 3: as it destroys your local forest.

1219
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 4: Why not just like and say something like this, our

1220
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 4: love is growing.

1221
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 2: All over the world.

1222
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 3: Think that's a perfect idea. Do you have any other thoughts?

1223
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 2: I mean I love that.

1224
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 3: It's a I mean it's an excellent, perfect idea from

1225
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 3: a genius.

1226
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 4: I think from a Okay, I sorry, I said invasive species.

1227
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:17,919
Speaker 2: I'm a scientist, and.

1228
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 3: You know I could you know I look great and bangs.

1229
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 3: So I've got a decent hang on things at this point. Yeah, Nick,

1230
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 3: I think you have your answer. I mean, I think

1231
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 3: maybe just ignore her on her birthday. That'll I'm sure

1232
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 3: she'll be happy for that to happen.

1233
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 2: I actually I love that.

1234
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 4: Make the anniversary gift, the hiking, planting, invasive species, mint,

1235
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 4: ecosystem destruction, and then yeah, ignore, I love ignoring the

1236
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 4: birthday full and then be like if she's like, oh

1237
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 4: my god.

1238
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 2: Why aren't you talking to me? Why are you ignoring me?

1239
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 4: And then you can be like you will you always

1240
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 4: get what you want, so.

1241
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 3: And you can be like, don't you remember what I

1242
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 3: did on our anniversary? It's like you don't care about

1243
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 3: what I do for this marriage?

1244
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 2: Yes, there, and then suddenly.

1245
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 3: You know she's always got this upper hand with the nonprofit.

1246
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 3: Suddenly the scales have shifted a little bit in Nick's favor,

1247
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 3: and I think that brings a nice balance to the marriage.

1248
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 2: I think so too, which.

1249
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 3: Is not happen is no longer happening in their local ecosystem. Perfect.

1250
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 3: We answered two questions, and I'm so proud of us.

1251
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 3: I think we did an excellent job.

1252
