00:00:08 Speaker 1: And I invited you here. 00:00:13 Speaker 2: Thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests, your own presences presence enough. I already had too much stuff, So how did you dare to surbey me? 00:00:48 Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Bridgard Wineker. We're in the backyard. It's really a lovely right now. I have to just say that immediate. The sun is not out, clouds everywhere. It's a little moody. Birds are chirping, dogs are barking. Ah, the weather is pleasant enough. I feel like I might have to put on a code at some point. I didn't expect to just start giving these details about the weather so quickly. Uh, this pod, this podcast is really more about my cognitive decline than anything. At this point, you are witnessing it in real time. Let's get into the show. I don't I have nothing to say to you. We've got to get to the guest. I think today's guest is wonderful. I'm so excited to talk to her. It's Jackie Johnson. How rare is it. 00:01:37 Speaker 1: That you interview someone who you've never met before? 00:01:40 Speaker 3: Got Oh really, Oh, it's gotten out of control. I feel like I have friends who are like, what's happening. You don't know any of these people. Why am I not on the show? 00:01:49 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the opposite. I just text now, you just text just hey, you want to come over and I'll record our conversation. 00:01:56 Speaker 3: See I was doing I was Yeah, I was doing that for a long time, and he run out. 00:02:02 Speaker 4: I didn't run out. 00:02:03 Speaker 3: It became too stressful for me because it's a little bit like inviting to someone someone to a party that they're not really benefiting from. I'm benefiting from them being at my party. 00:02:12 Speaker 1: Well that's I think. I believe Rosy. It's the jury Duty of Los Angeles going on podcasts. 00:02:23 Speaker 4: It really is. 00:02:24 Speaker 1: And that's so accurate. It really is. You're like, oh, I get the email again. You know it was just a month ago. 00:02:31 Speaker 3: I've got to get on courthouse. I'm racist, so they won't have me. Oh I am. Actually I currently have the jury duty cloud hanging over my head. I got in touch with me at the beginning of November. Immediately panicked sort of contacting everyone. How do I get out of this? No one had any real good advice. 00:02:53 Speaker 4: I have the secret, can you share it publicly? 00:02:57 Speaker 1: I feel horrible because it really is our civic duty. 00:03:01 Speaker 4: Of course. 00:03:02 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:03:02 Speaker 1: And imagine if you were ever in the situation where you're going to call on a jury of your peers to decide your fate, would you want them all to be on Reddit going how do I get out of this? No, you would want them to be excited to serve. So I hesitate to give my secret. But at the same time, I don't want to gatekeep. I don't want a gatekeeper. 00:03:21 Speaker 4: I would love to have this little wisdom. 00:03:23 Speaker 1: I'm going to give it. 00:03:24 Speaker 4: What is it? 00:03:25 Speaker 1: So you know you can reschedule a few times? 00:03:27 Speaker 4: Yes, I've done it once. 00:03:28 Speaker 1: Yes, so you have what one or two more? I hope at least reschedule for the week of Christmas. Oh, pre judges, they're all off, honey, they're all off living their life with their families. They're not in court, so they never call you in. 00:03:44 Speaker 3: And then what does that do long term? Is it then like you're just you're dismissed. 00:03:50 Speaker 1: And it goes away and you get called again in a couple of years. 00:03:52 Speaker 3: Okay, but currently it's January ish, Yes, Christmas is months and months away ustpone again. 00:04:00 Speaker 1: Do the August you can, and then when you do your final do it the week of Christmas. 00:04:06 Speaker 4: Christmas. Yes, okay, I'm going to give it a shot. 00:04:08 Speaker 1: I feel so bad there will know there won't be any more courts in LA. A single person is now going to captule. 00:04:16 Speaker 4: The justice system just falls apart. 00:04:18 Speaker 1: Or the judges hear this and they go, you know what, motherfucker, I got you. They're gonna start going on vacation in June. 00:04:25 Speaker 4: Christmas Christmas is canceled. 00:04:27 Speaker 1: We're postponing it till the summer. 00:04:29 Speaker 4: I've never done jury duty of you. 00:04:31 Speaker 1: No, but I went one time and was I got called in and then I had to go into the room and it was so intense, and I learned so much about not only our system of government, but our. 00:04:45 Speaker 3: Society so well. 00:04:47 Speaker 1: I only hang out with podcast hosts, as we mentioned earlier exactly, and there's other people in this town. Turns out with all kinds. 00:04:54 Speaker 3: Of other jobs. 00:04:55 Speaker 4: You're still going on. 00:04:56 Speaker 3: I know. 00:04:57 Speaker 1: It was shocked in my system. And they went through and interviewed each one of us, and then if you had any problems, there was a list of the different excuses and you would say one, seven, and five, whichever one's pertained. And a lot of them were people saying I can't afford to be here, which is true, you have to miss work. I think they give you three cents to be there if you're like a voucher for a quarter. And people were saying, I have children, I have a career, I look after my elderly parent. I can't be here, which is a valid excuse. 00:05:27 Speaker 3: Of course. 00:05:28 Speaker 1: And I got really emotional, to be honest, and I actually got a little teary eye discussing why I didn't want to be a member of the case. And it was real. I am an earl, but it was real, Bridger. I gave my real reason and it was emotional for me. 00:05:44 Speaker 4: And is everyone watching you give the reason? 00:05:46 Speaker 1: There was somebody this is fucked up, but you know what we're getting there today. There was a girl who said my brother was murdered and I don't want to be here because it's triggering to be in a court setting or whatever, and they. 00:05:58 Speaker 3: Go, you're done this man, Wow, And do we believe I did? 00:06:03 Speaker 4: Okay? 00:06:04 Speaker 1: But again that's something you could try. 00:06:06 Speaker 3: I mean, of course I'm happy to try, so I will lie in any. I once lied about a sibling dying to scientologists. 00:06:18 Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I told my brotherhood. 00:06:19 Speaker 3: Drowned in a lake to try to get out of what because they were pressuring me to come to a meeting. And I lied a lot in that because we went for the personality test and of course clamped down on you and you'll do anything to get. 00:06:30 Speaker 1: Showing in that this was a scientologist course. 00:06:33 Speaker 3: Though I came uncomfortable, as it always does. 00:06:37 Speaker 1: I've been in that building. 00:06:39 Speaker 4: The Blue one, celebrity, celebrities both. 00:06:44 Speaker 3: And again I'm not a scientologist, but you know the curiosity. 00:06:47 Speaker 1: Yes, well I shot. I used to do extra work as a living in my early twenties, okay, And they shot an episode of CSI New York there and they covered it in snow and everything, and I was made and it was so excited. At the time. I was young, uncultured and yard I believe, no, not Yardley Smith, which one's from the Simpsons, is from the Simpsons, but she's not the it's a Cartwright. Yes, yes, I love Yardly too. Nancy Cartwright was doing a presentation in there, and. 00:07:18 Speaker 4: This was not part of the taping. 00:07:20 Speaker 1: No, it was separate separate. It was separate, but I kept looking in and voice I believe she was. And then I went into the bathroom and I was washing my hands and a woman came in and we were talking, and then she left, and I was like, my doctor was si il again. I was a bumpkin fresh off the bus. 00:07:38 Speaker 4: Were you in the maid costume? 00:07:39 Speaker 3: While in the maid costume? 00:07:41 Speaker 1: I was in the maid And it wasn't just to be clear, not at like a sluody maid costume. This was like a full blown, nice New York hotel costume, right right, So get your heads out of the gutter. 00:07:53 Speaker 4: And what were they like? 00:07:54 Speaker 3: The Celebrity Center was standing in as a hotel. A hotel, Okay, I didn't know they rented it out for this sort of thing. 00:08:00 Speaker 1: We're all trying to pay that mortgage at the end of the week. 00:08:02 Speaker 4: They have that cafe attached to it. 00:08:04 Speaker 1: They have a cafe. 00:08:05 Speaker 4: Which you can no longer go to. 00:08:07 Speaker 3: I believe it used to be open to the public, but now you have to be a scientologist. I believe for tax reasons. Okay, there's there's something fishy always happened. 00:08:15 Speaker 1: There, you know. Listen, Organized religion has its issues it's all. 00:08:18 Speaker 3: We've got a lot of there's a lot complications and problems. And I didn't want to get away from jury duty because you did go in. You gave them a reason, yes, uh, and you got out of it. 00:08:28 Speaker 1: Well here, I'm just gonna tell y'all. So this is what happened. So the case was a drunk driver, okay. The drunk driver hit property okay, and damaged property. And I don't exactly understand. I don't remember the nuances of it. But I stood up and I just said I have a zero tolerance policy for a drunk driving. It's a personal issue of mine and it's affected my life, and I just that's basically what I said. The next day we're back. I think this was my third day. We sit down and they say, guess what. The case has been settled. Everyone can go home. Apparently our testimony hour the jurors made them reach an agreement, decided they wanted to settle pre trial. Can you believe that's a and I and I would like to think it was partly due to me. 00:09:14 Speaker 4: Absolutely set them straight. 00:09:16 Speaker 1: Let me, Ridgard, this is what you miss when you try to scrimp, when you try to get out of it. This is what you miss. It was Americana, it was humanity. I literally was changed. 00:09:28 Speaker 3: When I left. 00:09:28 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm never going to be the same. So you're lost, sweetie. 00:09:34 Speaker 4: See. 00:09:34 Speaker 3: And I'm not. I'm not anti jury duty. I'm actually curious. There's a part of me that's very curious. But it always comes up. I mean, when I got called, I was working. I'm no longer working now fully unemployed, which feels serree. 00:09:47 Speaker 1: So you could be making your three cents a day. 00:09:49 Speaker 4: I could. Yeah, this could be a huge boon for me. I could head down to the court room. It could be what I mean, it could be some kind of some sort of boring. 00:09:58 Speaker 3: But I'm always afraid I'm gonna end up on a case that's like I don't know a property line or something, the offence is too long, or. 00:10:06 Speaker 1: The other side of that coin is something really. 00:10:08 Speaker 3: Fucked right, something that just devastates me that I don't recover fense. Yes, although I feel like, well, let's not tempt fate here. 00:10:15 Speaker 1: Yes, it probably will be a fence. It will be a fence, for sure. 00:10:20 Speaker 3: It'll be a tree has crept over, or somebody's dog shit in someone's yard. 00:10:25 Speaker 4: Something like that. 00:10:26 Speaker 1: No fun. 00:10:27 Speaker 3: Actually, that would be a decent case to be on. I'd be happy to vote. 00:10:30 Speaker 1: I'm telling you though, the people around me, it was just so interesting and a real slice of life. And I really did feel like I walked out with my shoulders a lot broader. 00:10:42 Speaker 4: You could send a little higher. 00:10:43 Speaker 1: Because I said I did my civic duty. I sure did. And I'm proud to be on a mad Cat. That's how I felt. It felt really empowering. So long ago, a few years okay, yeah, probably twenty fifteen. I was married to my first husband. Honey, Yes, I'm divorced, so probably twenty seventeen. 00:11:04 Speaker 4: Twenty seventeen. Have you ever been in court on the other side? Yes, you have? 00:11:10 Speaker 3: Yes? 00:11:10 Speaker 4: Can I ask why? 00:11:11 Speaker 3: Yes? 00:11:12 Speaker 1: Oh, this is juicy. So I murdered someone I was the family and I can talk about it now, double jeopardy, sweetie. 00:11:20 Speaker 3: No. 00:11:21 Speaker 1: When I was in high school, I got a lot of driving tickets. Okay, sure, so I had to kind of learn how to drive, right, Uh safe post tickets? You mean you had to learn how to drive? Yeah, okay, yeah, and a few cars totaled. You know, God, teenagers driving is terrifying. It's truly, truly terrifizing. 00:11:39 Speaker 4: They are deeply are children child years. 00:11:42 Speaker 1: Old, so yes, and especially ten thousand hours to achieve genius. You don't know what you're doing. So anyway, I got a few tickets and then my I got put on probation because that was the only way to keep driving from all my tickets instead of them taking my license whatever. And these were small. I was speeding, you know, ran a lie like. 00:12:04 Speaker 4: It wasn't how many tickets. 00:12:06 Speaker 1: Rent theft auto or anything like that, probably like three or four. Okay, I had just gotten off my probation. It just ended, and I was so excited. And I was driving into town to go to a football game or something. And this was in high school and I had my seatbelt on. I was driving and a cop pulls me over and I'm like, fuck, what am I doing wrong? I'm literally doing everything right. I'm newly off probation. You know, I'm gonna call my parole officer now. So and this is yes, reeking of privilege. 00:12:33 Speaker 3: Yes. 00:12:34 Speaker 1: So we get pulled over and I'm in Texas pull over and he's like, you didn't have your seatbelt on? And I was like, uh, yes, it's right here. And he goes, you just put that on, now, Bridger. I'm many things, but one of the things I'm not is a liar, okay. And the second thing I'm not is unsafe. 00:12:49 Speaker 3: Okay. 00:12:50 Speaker 1: I wear my seat belt. That's a bare minimum you can do. So I have my damn seatbelt on, and I'm like, excuse me, I have my seatbelt on now. At the time, I was driving a Chrysler Seabring converg Oh. 00:13:00 Speaker 4: Car, you don't want to seat belt on? You're free. You're having the time of your life, honey. 00:13:03 Speaker 1: The hair was flowing. No, it's if you. I love cars from movies. This was from the movie Jawbreaker. 00:13:11 Speaker 4: Is the car Jowbreaker? 00:13:12 Speaker 1: You what? 00:13:13 Speaker 4: Sorry? What? 00:13:14 Speaker 1: And at least have you? 00:13:16 Speaker 3: Okay? God? 00:13:17 Speaker 1: Someone has everybody go see it. 00:13:19 Speaker 3: I don't know if it is it a Sea bring centric movie. Yes, it's entirely at yes, Okay. 00:13:27 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen Jawbreaker and you want to see it, sorry, skip ahead. Okay. So Rose McGowan is like the hot girl. Judy Greer is the nerve honey, have you not seen job Breaker? What's wrong with you? They murdered their friend the incredibly honey, you gotta see it. The body is in the back of the sea brings the open. They put a jawbreaker in her mouth and oh, prank, that goes awry. They open the trunk and she's dead and it's like a shot of the of the jawbreaker and there's veins and it's dark. 00:14:00 Speaker 4: It's dark. 00:14:01 Speaker 3: It's dark. 00:14:02 Speaker 1: Okay, check it out. I've got to and so. And when I was a teenager and I saw that, I go, that is the most cunt car. I have to have it, So, I said, Daddy, when I turned sixteen, I want to cross their super convertible like rosemcgallon and Jarwreaker. What color, Well, mine was champagne because I got to use. I only bought used cars ever in my life. I'm an environmentalist, so it was used and it was one of the only ones I could find. So it was like a gold color. 00:14:29 Speaker 4: I think that's a good color. 00:14:32 Speaker 1: Yes, I agree. And it was a fun car, and I was, Oh. So the seatbelt in the seabring is built into the seat, so he didn't see the seat belt coming in, so he thought I did have my seatbelt, but I said, it's built into sea. It's built of the seat. 00:14:44 Speaker 3: He's like you put that on. 00:14:46 Speaker 1: So I go home to my dad and I saw it and I go Dad, I swear to god, I had my seatbelt on. This guy's picket on me. And my dad said, we're getting an attorney and we're going to fight him. 00:14:55 Speaker 3: Oh my god, Now this costs more. 00:14:57 Speaker 1: Of course, the ticket even cost hold twelve innocent lives out of their jobs to go to court. And we hired this like kind of this tough tics in like seab traffic ticket guy, and we went to court and that cop showed up and my dad and I went down to the corner and we took photos like pop Ross and my dad took photos of me driving by of the of the same time of day, and we present them and we blew them up bridge and we blew them up and I said, exhibit. 00:15:23 Speaker 3: A, Exhibit B. 00:15:26 Speaker 4: How long were you in court? 00:15:27 Speaker 1: Seven hours? No, it was literally like an hour. 00:15:30 Speaker 4: Oh wow. But there was a whole jury there. 00:15:32 Speaker 1: There was all jur jury. And I said to them, I said, I'm a student body president, which I was. I said, I am a you know, a virgin. I was like, I'm a good wholesome student. I would have never not put my seatbelt on. How dare you? I'm so offended that my father and I got an attorney pulled all these innocent people out of their lives. 00:15:48 Speaker 4: To prove how much did this cost? 00:15:51 Speaker 1: Seven thousand? No, it was I don't know. I don't know. Again the privilege, I don't know. 00:15:55 Speaker 4: I hope this lawyer did this pro bono or something. 00:15:57 Speaker 1: He didn't. But he even said in his presentation he said, this is costing more because the morality of the situation is priceless. Can you put a blastag on that? 00:16:07 Speaker 4: I certainly can. Okay, well, you know, teach one hundred dollars. 00:16:11 Speaker 1: There you go. It probably was around that. I mean, my dad wouldn't have paid that much, right, but it's the principle and get up and testify. 00:16:18 Speaker 4: Yes, did you get cross examined all this? 00:16:21 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it was real. 00:16:23 Speaker 3: Any surprise witnesses, no missed opportunity. I know who though anybody can be a surprise. 00:16:31 Speaker 4: By this has nothing to do with it. 00:16:33 Speaker 1: Surprise good if they pulled somebody, that would be incredible, like my strange aunt. 00:16:40 Speaker 4: This was in the back of the car the whole time. 00:16:44 Speaker 1: I'm sad that didn't have it, but it was my first and only real court experienced dry duty. 00:16:52 Speaker 3: Yes, they deliberated, oh for how long? 00:16:54 Speaker 1: Ten minutes? And they came back in and the look on that cops face was worth at all that look on his face. So yeah, justice will serve that day, Bridger. 00:17:05 Speaker 4: So what ultimately what happened? You didn't get a ticket? 00:17:07 Speaker 1: No, it was dismissed. I believe I didn't have to pay the seven dollars what you're talking about though, this is our right, this is our civic right. We pay the taxes. 00:17:22 Speaker 4: Here and you got to You got to go out in your sea bring. 00:17:25 Speaker 1: And just speed away out my seatbelt on to make. 00:17:30 Speaker 3: A point immediately getting a car accident thrown from the car check bib. The seatbelt thing never makes any sense to me, because how is the cop ever gonna be able to prove that quickly put it on? 00:17:45 Speaker 1: Yes, there's no telling. It was his word against right. It was his word against. 00:17:49 Speaker 3: Such a losing battle. And the dirty cop can claim anybody. 00:17:55 Speaker 1: And there is never I can say this with certainty. There has never been a time where I didn't put my people don't I'm one of those people. I don't understand people that just start driving and you hear the ding and you're like, why why didn't you do that? 00:18:05 Speaker 3: That's the ding alone, the ding annoying. I would rather Yeah, yes, I'm not putting my life in danger, sure, but beeping is more annoying my mortality. 00:18:16 Speaker 4: Yeah, I hate modern cars. 00:18:19 Speaker 1: The beeping has I can't. I will drive electric vehicles. Who were discussing none stop being every beep you can imagine. I don't even know what half. 00:18:27 Speaker 3: Of them are. 00:18:28 Speaker 4: I'm now opening my door with cars off. Everything's fine. 00:18:32 Speaker 3: Yes, the cars beeping to tell me to watch out for traffic, okay, hmm, unacceptable. No, the car is parked. You know, it's actually putting me in more danger, I think, because it's putting me on no. 00:18:43 Speaker 1: Same, I'm driving and I'll hear and I'm like, what, there's a garbage can seventy five feet to the left of your car, and I'm like, I don't care. I don't understand. 00:18:57 Speaker 3: My car is enough stopping Like uh, it's like ann car, it will stop when it doesn't need to stay. 00:19:02 Speaker 1: That's how mine is too. But it's because of the electric breaks or the. 00:19:06 Speaker 3: No, this is not just the electric break, because this was like today, I was trying. I had gone to get my coffee. I'm pulling back out onto York Avenue boulevard. 00:19:14 Speaker 4: We don't know what are called boulevard. 00:19:19 Speaker 3: But somebody else is coming to pull into my new to parallel park where I am. The car thinks that they're flying at me, so it stops. Now I'm out of control of. 00:19:26 Speaker 1: The car, so it can control itself. It can take over when it thinks you're not smart enough. No, mine just had an update. This is this is West coast coastal bullshit. Sorry everyone, Mine just got an update and I'm driving and now it'll just go. Dude, would you like to park? 00:19:45 Speaker 3: And it's just start parking driving. 00:19:48 Speaker 1: I don't want to park. 00:19:49 Speaker 4: I'll tell you. 00:19:50 Speaker 3: I know. 00:19:51 Speaker 1: Don't take liberties. 00:19:53 Speaker 4: This is our future. We're looking into the future. It's not good. 00:19:56 Speaker 1: I is going to control us all. 00:19:58 Speaker 4: It's gonna just it's just going to inconveniences. 00:20:02 Speaker 1: Have you gone on chat GPT yet? 00:20:04 Speaker 4: Of course? Oh god, what have you used? 00:20:06 Speaker 1: The kids are planning? So I asked a bunch of breastfeeding questions. 00:20:10 Speaker 4: Oh fantastic, And what's telling you? 00:20:12 Speaker 1: I just was curious its opinion? Sure, And I just said, like, what are some ways to get on my supply. And it was like, take this medicaid, take this supplement. 00:20:20 Speaker 4: Things like that when you're playing a dangerous scale. 00:20:22 Speaker 1: It did say consult your medical professional before, so it's saved. It's asked, okay, But I did ask it to create me a menu for the week and a shopping list for it, and it did it. What is it incredible? 00:20:34 Speaker 4: What did you think of the menu? 00:20:35 Speaker 1: It's pretty nice? 00:20:36 Speaker 4: What's on there? 00:20:37 Speaker 1: What kinds of uh oh? I don't eat mean? So it's just like keene wine. 00:20:43 Speaker 4: Did it feel a kind of basic? 00:20:46 Speaker 3: Very basic. 00:20:47 Speaker 4: It's not using, it's not creative. 00:20:49 Speaker 1: But I hate meal planning. Sure, it's so stressful. It's the worst part of cooking in my opinion. I actually enjoy cooking, but the meal planning stresses me out. So the fact that it laid it all out for me, I'm like, I can do. 00:21:00 Speaker 3: That is the problem with meal planning for you is like you'd rather just in the moment think of something to make. No. 00:21:05 Speaker 1: I just hate the idea of like having to have all of the ingredients and get them all ready and know that they're there, and if I forget one, what am I going to do now everything falls apart. So I just hate the idea of knowing, like, Okay, so Monday we're going to make this. Tuesday we're going to make this. I hate that. 00:21:21 Speaker 3: So for me, yeah, that doesn't make any sense because I don't know what I want Wednesday. And then suddenly I've got lasagna on the mental. 00:21:26 Speaker 1: And you're like, I don't feel like. 00:21:29 Speaker 4: Right now. 00:21:30 Speaker 3: Okay, so you have used it for meal planning, You're using it pretty practically. 00:21:34 Speaker 1: I haven't done anything but that yet. What have you done on it? 00:21:36 Speaker 3: Just a bunch of bullshit? Yeah, I like, I'm just asking a random questions. I wanted to pilot for I mean I tried that. Yeah, Like I was just like, is it smart enough? Is my job in danger? 00:21:48 Speaker 1: Yes? 00:21:48 Speaker 4: Yes? And I will say not yet. 00:21:49 Speaker 3: Okay, but I will say probably in six months, yes, out of work. 00:21:54 Speaker 1: The more people like us going on there and adding to it. 00:21:58 Speaker 3: It can lay out like a basic story. But then you look at the story you're like, yeah, this is a boring This is all. 00:22:05 Speaker 1: I saw on TikTok. A guy asked it to rap like eminem and explain what it's doing, and it does it. 00:22:12 Speaker 3: It did it? 00:22:13 Speaker 4: How well, were you impressed? 00:22:15 Speaker 1: Yeah, rapping is not easy. 00:22:18 Speaker 3: Rapping is not good at it. You're good at it? 00:22:20 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm no Eminem. I don't want to use him as an example. 00:22:25 Speaker 3: He's probably he's you know, beyond his prime. Yeah, maybe about twenty to thirty years Yeah. 00:22:33 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm no Kendrick Carrier beat. 00:22:38 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, And you were impressed by this rap? Oh yeah, okay, it creates it in a second. 00:22:45 Speaker 4: It is. 00:22:45 Speaker 3: I mean the speed is like, what's happening here? No thought is even happening, it's just there. 00:22:52 Speaker 1: Yes, I'm going to play with it more. 00:22:54 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we're all just. 00:22:56 Speaker 1: Write me a hit pop song. 00:22:59 Speaker 3: I mean I'm curious about AI, like starting to create actual music. That's I think that's just around the corner. Wow, it's all happening. 00:23:08 Speaker 1: Maybe we could get AI to write you a speech to get you out of jury duty. 00:23:12 Speaker 3: Oh that's not a I bet it would do a decent bet. It'll probably be very offensive. Well, it'll get Yeah, I'm suddenly unfolding a paper and like, okay, I have something i'd like to read. Know that the chat thing is a little spooky to me, But what are you going to do it. Seems like we're all just going to give in. 00:23:32 Speaker 1: I have podcast software that scans your voice, okay, and then if you go back through, it will transcribe your whole show. And then you can change a word, like you know, you sometimes accidentally say the wrong word right, so then you can replace your word with what you meant to say, and it's in your. 00:23:48 Speaker 4: Voice that I've never heard of something like that. 00:23:50 Speaker 1: It's so creepy. 00:23:51 Speaker 4: What is it called. 00:23:52 Speaker 1: It's called descript Wow. And I have a code if anyone wants it. I have a code that will give me fifty dollars to podcasts. 00:24:00 Speaker 3: Are other interested, I'm going to use that. It's to completely alter this episode. Oh great, nothing here you hear will be the real thing. 00:24:08 Speaker 1: So I've never done this, but I've always wanted to do this. At the top, you have to say a specific script, so you have to say, like, I am Jackie Johnson, I am giving you my voice, I am giving permission to this app in order to use my something like that. And then there's some other like banana hammock, queen Latifah, like some random thing of words that you have to say. Because I've only done my own voice. I've never done any of my guests. Okay, wow, I just gave it to you, so now you can use it. 00:24:33 Speaker 3: I'm going to use it. I'm going to abuse it. You can longer anything on this podcast. 00:24:39 Speaker 1: You've heard of deep fakes? 00:24:40 Speaker 3: Of course, yes, which is like weirdly the only thing I ever see a deep fake of is Tom Cruise doing some insane thing. 00:24:48 Speaker 4: Are you familiar with? 00:24:48 Speaker 3: Like what the amount of deep fakes featuring Toms him, like sweater, pretty much anything you can think ofton those are probably real things. The Tom Cruise is stunnton constant. Do you have a bell? 00:25:04 Speaker 4: I don't do you. 00:25:05 Speaker 1: It's covered in dust. I'm gonna be honest. I bought Won during the pandemic, like everyone, I haven't been on it in months. 00:25:11 Speaker 3: I've been thinking of getting an exercise bike, just old fashioned it out here in the yard. Yeah, I would love to have it just on the lawn, just kind of rusty exercise. 00:25:20 Speaker 1: Make it rusty. 00:25:21 Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure do you remember all the wacky Oh? 00:25:23 Speaker 1: Like, my mom had a friend that had this thing that you strapped around you and it shook. It was supposed to shake your just shake the fat and my sister and I thought it was fun like we get in the really, but that probably like killed all my brain cells. 00:25:38 Speaker 3: There's just no way that did anything. Of course, not we're falling for this sort of thing over and the dig master was that the thing you like squeaked with lamb that feels like it probably works. 00:25:48 Speaker 1: I've heard it has. Yeah, it actually works. 00:25:51 Speaker 3: Who was the celebrity spokesperson? That was Suzanne and she loves the product incredible. 00:25:56 Speaker 1: Well, you know she has her pussy creams. No oh, she has a whole to the book about keeping her body from the menopause in order to keep like her pussy wet. I'm not lying. Google this. 00:26:08 Speaker 3: And she has like a line of products. Since she's selling current like. 00:26:12 Speaker 1: A hormone cream, what does she refer to them as? I don't know. That's a good question. That's a good question. Somebody let me know. 00:26:21 Speaker 3: Is this her latest line of celebrities years ago? Okay, but it's a big hit. She's still selling stuff? 00:26:27 Speaker 1: Why not? 00:26:28 Speaker 3: Because I remember just recently she was I think it was on some sort of QBC or some QUBC that the person invaded her backyard. 00:26:35 Speaker 4: Did you see this? She was in Palm Springs. 00:26:38 Speaker 3: She's in her Palm Springs a state. This guy has just like climbed up the mountain and down the hill and suddenly in the yard with Susanne and her husband on the live stream. 00:26:48 Speaker 4: She is remarkably calm. 00:26:50 Speaker 3: Okay with basically a home invader situation, and she's like guiding him back off the property. 00:26:56 Speaker 4: She looks, of course incredible at eighty or whatever. 00:26:59 Speaker 3: Those creams. You're everywhere on the places where it counts. But people need to look that up. It's really I'm looking it up on YouTube. This has got to be on your okay, what would. 00:27:12 Speaker 1: I type in Summer's Palm. 00:27:13 Speaker 4: Spring invader yard man? Guy? 00:27:18 Speaker 3: Uh uh? Do you ever get on YouTube? I need to get on YouTube more often. I don't take advantage of it the way other people do. 00:27:25 Speaker 1: It's incredible. 00:27:26 Speaker 4: It's what are you looking up on YouTube? 00:27:28 Speaker 1: Well, when i'm I feel like there are three or four videos that just live as this. Kids say rent free sure if I need a pick me up, I'm there, like what? 00:27:38 Speaker 3: Well? 00:27:38 Speaker 1: Number one is Tom Holland singing umbrella on? Was that carry off the drop the mic? 00:27:46 Speaker 4: He's singing Rihanna? 00:27:47 Speaker 1: Have you not seen that? Oh? My Get out of. 00:27:48 Speaker 3: Here Jackie video and at least has seen it. I find Tom Holland very annoying. 00:27:54 Speaker 1: Okay, then you might not like this one. 00:27:57 Speaker 3: I don't want to see him singing her iconic hit. You don't understand unless he's embarrassing it like a person who has not seen the clip. 00:28:04 Speaker 1: Am I right? It's incredible. It's incredible. It has two hundred and thirty billion view like for real, it's incredible. But the other one that might be more of your ouse. 00:28:14 Speaker 4: Okay. 00:28:15 Speaker 1: Kristin Chenowith singing at the Hollywood Ball pulls a person on stage just sing with her, and she's incredible, and they do it. They do for good, a duet full duet for good. I sob every time. If I need to have faith in the world, I watch it. I just watch it a few days ago. 00:28:31 Speaker 3: Okay, maybe that's something I might be able to look up. Do you know what I'm trying to I'm desperate to find I don't get into ASMR. I hate it too, but I realized something a little while ago. ASMR for me is when you go to like a museum, or you're at like a somewhere where they have to pull out a map and draw on it where you need to go. Yes to me, my brain melts while like a museum guide is like, okay, you need to go here, and you hear the highlighter or the pen on the paper. There are a couple on YouTube, yeah, and they are terrible. 00:29:02 Speaker 4: I need more people to do that. 00:29:04 Speaker 1: Why don't you start one? 00:29:06 Speaker 4: Maybe I should tell people how to get to my house or something. 00:29:09 Speaker 1: Well, no, you could pick anywhere. 00:29:10 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. You just get a man anywhere. But you do you know the feeling I'm describing. 00:29:14 Speaker 1: Yes, of course you know. And this is a little industry insider. But you know when you go on a studio a lot and you sign it. 00:29:20 Speaker 4: I know. I've considered it almost like somebody to. 00:29:24 Speaker 1: Know just so you get to see the guy give you the highlighter. 00:29:28 Speaker 4: I love it. 00:29:28 Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes it. 00:29:29 Speaker 4: I don't know what it is. 00:29:30 Speaker 3: I think it's like there's something about the person knowing and being very being an authority and knowing like this is where. 00:29:36 Speaker 4: You need to go. 00:29:36 Speaker 3: This is the confidence, and then there's a little bit of the scratching on the paper. I love it. Okay, I need the community to rise up and make those videos for me. 00:29:46 Speaker 1: Okay, but I also think maybe you could do them because you could monetize. Honey, we're all about them. 00:29:50 Speaker 4: I've got to monetize something. 00:29:52 Speaker 1: No, I'm telling them. 00:29:53 Speaker 4: Falling apart. 00:29:53 Speaker 1: The most watched YouTube video, I believe is an account where a guy just unboxes toys. Of course, he makes who knows how much a lot. 00:30:02 Speaker 3: And he's probably involved in some horrible dark web human trafficking or something. 00:30:08 Speaker 1: These people get all those toys some to something, So I don't know, but I mean, speaking of unboxing, yeah, I think. 00:30:17 Speaker 3: Look, Jackie, Yeah, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie. I was so excited for you to be here, so I was so happy too. It's like, we're gonna have a wonderful. 00:30:27 Speaker 1: Time getting to know each other. 00:30:29 Speaker 3: We're just gonna chat for a while. I'll wrap up the podcast and we'll go on with our lives. So you know what the podcast is called. I said, no gifts, and you are a podcast professional. 00:30:40 Speaker 4: I thought Jackie is going to play it safe here. Yeah, she's on the right side of the lawn. 00:30:45 Speaker 1: I'm a rule follower. 00:30:48 Speaker 4: To the very end. A little bird is absolutely getting in the podcast right now. 00:30:53 Speaker 1: Hi, did he sign his waiver? 00:30:55 Speaker 3: He didn't so he's gonna have to edit out to blur his voice. 00:30:59 Speaker 4: I'm not letting that birds to me. 00:31:01 Speaker 3: Uh No, I was very excited for you to be here, so I was, in a word, a little shaken when you come, you know, strutting up the back up into the backyard holding a gorgeous gift bag. 00:31:15 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:31:16 Speaker 4: That I will just say up right now is obviously for me. What you have to say for yourself. 00:31:22 Speaker 1: You know, Southern etiquette sometimes will trump rolls. Oh interesting, So I'm a Southern woman.

I feel like recently on an episode, I said it's a boring city. 00:34:08 Speaker 4: I spoke at it. There's every city's. 00:34:11 Speaker 1: Got My second husband is from DC. 00:34:13 Speaker 4: Okay, well, then I want you to say something nice about Washington, d C. 00:34:16 Speaker 1: Right now, the cherry blossoms in the spring, so I need to go in the spring to dive for and I love. 00:34:21 Speaker 4: I'm going to say I love the restaurant, unconventional diner. 00:34:25 Speaker 1: But the museums are beautiful. 00:34:27 Speaker 4: I'm I'm now I love Washington. 00:34:30 Speaker 1: We've turned, but we've turned. 00:34:31 Speaker 4: Listeners reached out, and I felt terrible. 00:34:34 Speaker 3: Yeah, every city's got something, Yes, okay. 00:34:37 Speaker 1: Every city's got something for sure. 00:34:39 Speaker 4: I love these cards. 00:34:40 Speaker 1: Yes, So I love estate sales and when I find what I call a kooky lady estates. I go immediately to her cards, I go to her jewelry. There's certain things I go to and I love seeing their boxes of cars that they didn't use and they and I love an empty car that I can use for anything. And this it was perfect. It's kookie boot card. 00:35:01 Speaker 4: Do you know which particular estate sale you got this from? 00:35:05 Speaker 1: It was a Jewish woman in Northridge. 00:35:08 Speaker 4: Wow, you went all the way to Northridge. 00:35:10 Speaker 1: I used to live in Van Nuys, so it wasn't so far. Now I only go to ones nearby. 00:35:16 Speaker 4: How long I'm going to in a state sale. 00:35:18 Speaker 1: It's been a while before I had a baby six months ago before that, and I was seeing how long I could make it into the show before I brought my child up. I did pretty good. 00:35:27 Speaker 3: I've been kind of silently lipping yes to keep it. 00:35:31 Speaker 1: Please please, No, it's actually nice to talk about something other than that. So before that, though, I was going every weekend, every other weekend. 00:35:39 Speaker 4: Wow, that's impressive. 00:35:40 Speaker 3: And are you going to estatesales dot biz or whatever net dot net? That's right, it's very fun. I love going to an estate sale, but I feel like I've got bad luck at them or something, yeah, or maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing. 00:35:51 Speaker 1: What are you looking for? 00:35:53 Speaker 4: Nothing? 00:35:54 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't go with the plan. Yeah, but I think going with the plan is going to lead to disappointment. 00:35:58 Speaker 1: I don't go with a plan either. There are profaneals and I see them on TikTok. The professionals go in and they drive a long way, they go early. I can't do that. I'm not interested. I go and if anything tickles my bell, I will buy it. Maybe a record, maybe a sack of cards. 00:36:17 Speaker 3: Right, And for me, it's a little bit more of the voyeur aspect. I love being in a stranger's house, especially a mansion. 00:36:24 Speaker 1: There are some interesting ones. 00:36:26 Speaker 4: WHOA. There are some that are truly have not been touched in. 00:36:29 Speaker 1: Decadeses shag carpet, yes, five inches thick. 00:36:34 Speaker 4: A surprising amount of them are like this. 00:36:36 Speaker 3: The one I went to most recently, I think, was in Beverly Hills and it was like this house touch was nineteen seventy eight. 00:36:42 Speaker 1: Yes, it's which I love. I went to one semi close to hear an ego rock that was really really kooky, and it was a person who collected LGBT photography. 00:36:55 Speaker 3: Oh so like like nude photography, tasteful, unt, tasteful, distaste. 00:37:01 Speaker 1: Straight up pornographic. And I'm not judging, I'm not sex shaming, deserving it, of course, but it was quite jarring to enter the bathroom and there was I believe it's BOUKACKI is the term, okay, photographs of a boucocky man. 00:37:17 Speaker 4: Like just like really all over the bathroom. 00:37:19 Speaker 1: And apparently they're famous because I've shown them. I was at a at a baby shower discussing this with an art collector and I showed her and she said, oh, that's a bloody, bloody blot like a famous photographer. And this is a whole genre of art I'm unfortunately not very familiar with. And people were buying it. 00:37:34 Speaker 3: Well, it's art, Yes, people need it for their bathrooms, Yes, exactly. 00:37:38 Speaker 4: A shock future estate sale. 00:37:40 Speaker 1: That was definitely an interesting one. I mean wall to wall, ceiling to floor. 00:37:47 Speaker 4: And only in the bathroom, no, everywhere, and. 00:37:49 Speaker 1: Then the closets were open. There was leather. 00:37:54 Speaker 3: So this person was just really into it. This person had a whole life. Yes, good for that. 00:37:59 Speaker 1: I did buy it. 00:38:00 Speaker 4: They die in an. 00:38:00 Speaker 3: Act, I don't know. 00:38:02 Speaker 4: Interesting. 00:38:02 Speaker 1: That's the one thing about the estate sales that I don't like to think about the death. Why they're not well? Some of them I think might be in a home. 00:38:11 Speaker 3: Oh like forced out of their greedy children. 00:38:13 Speaker 1: Yes, okay, the children are saying, I'm gonna flip this, put into counters reader. The bathrooms make a mint. Sad but true. 00:38:27 Speaker 4: I'm sure it's true. 00:38:27 Speaker 3: The housing market, uh yeah, this housing market, my god, that's it's slowing down. 00:38:33 Speaker 2: It is. 00:38:33 Speaker 1: But the interest rates. 00:38:34 Speaker 4: Oh. 00:38:35 Speaker 3: I tried to go to Alex Trebek's estate. Did you go because the ridiculous it was absurd, pregnant, the exhaust. 00:38:45 Speaker 4: You were in no shape. 00:38:46 Speaker 1: Alex be lived on a very busy street. I know you think he would have a little more privacy. 00:38:51 Speaker 3: I thought he would be in like a locked community. 00:38:54 Speaker 1: No, right off the main road. And the exhaust was making me sick. I said, I have to leave. 00:38:59 Speaker 4: But you did wait to line for a minute. 00:39:01 Speaker 1: Probably ten minutes, and I bailed. 00:39:03 Speaker 4: Was moving, I said, not happening. 00:39:05 Speaker 1: I know I was so, but I really wanted to go in. I wanted to buy. Why did he have all that jeopardy merch? 00:39:12 Speaker 4: Why or where? 00:39:13 Speaker 1: Why? 00:39:14 Speaker 4: What? He did have a lot of jeopardy merch. 00:39:16 Speaker 1: He had an entire closet full of Jeopardy sweatshirts, T shirt. 00:39:20 Speaker 4: So interesting is that for like tricker treaters. 00:39:23 Speaker 1: Oh that's fun. 00:39:24 Speaker 3: It's like, uh, what's his wife said? I can't remember. Go get some sweatshirts. The kids are hares. 00:39:29 Speaker 1: Well, And that would be so fun. If you went to Alexra rex house instead of getting like a kit cat bar, you got a Jeopardy sweatshirt. 00:39:33 Speaker 4: And you could buy on the sony lot. 00:39:35 Speaker 1: That would be I would love that. I would have gone there. 00:39:37 Speaker 4: I would have bought it. 00:39:38 Speaker 1: I wanted to one chotiki on my shelf, a vase or something, and then when people come over they go, oh, what lovely balls, And I said, oh thank he was Alextra Backs. I just wanted that. 00:39:49 Speaker 4: Wait, no, the line was moving around the blog I was. 00:39:55 Speaker 1: It was disrespect. 00:39:57 Speaker 4: It was disrespect and I'm. 00:39:58 Speaker 1: Not getting up. That's my thing. I'm not gonna let inconvenience my day. 00:40:02 Speaker 4: No, no, no no. 00:40:02 Speaker 1: So if I get there and there's a line, I'm out. 00:40:04 Speaker 3: Of course, there's nothing in one of those houses that's worth me waiting in line. No, I agree, unless it's like a genuine magic Genie lamp. But it'll go quick. 00:40:14 Speaker 4: It'll go quick. 00:40:15 Speaker 3: Oh the thing you want, of course, you'll get to the line and then it'll be like, oh, we have some curtains left. There's like an old tablecloth, some dusty shoes, notes, and don't forget the medicine cabinet. There might be something in there, an old shave razor or something. 00:40:29 Speaker 1: I went to one and it ended up being nothing. You weren't allowed to buy anything except for this one little corner. And I went in and I was like, oh, kettlebells from my home GYP. Don't touch that. That's not for sale. 00:40:42 Speaker 4: And I was like, what did they a sale? 00:40:44 Speaker 1: Nothing like one table full of ugly picture frames. And I'm like, what am I doing here?

Yeah, and they're mad at on a lease. They're mad at you there boycotting the network. I've got to open everyone's so many of my listeners are dead. 00:41:11 Speaker 1: You're watching the graph of the listener. Just decline, decline. 00:41:14 Speaker 3: Okay, please pulling out of the thing. 00:41:16 Speaker 1: Once again, I thought of you tissue, Yes, oh more, Okay, hey here it is to shoe here here and going in bag. 00:41:29 Speaker 4: It's a friend's twenty twenty three calendar. This is a new calendar. 00:41:34 Speaker 1: Honey, we're ready for the new year, aren't we. 00:41:37 Speaker 3: We're absolutely. I don't know that I'm ready for the new year. Look, by the time this is out, it will be end of January. So at least the listeners like, thank god the month is over. 00:41:46 Speaker 4: I don't know. 00:41:47 Speaker 1: I'm press. 00:41:47 Speaker 3: I look at Annalise every time we schedule a recording, like, what when is this coming out? 00:41:53 Speaker 4: When is our schedule? 00:41:54 Speaker 1: That's what's nice about having help a producer to help you. 00:41:57 Speaker 3: You did yours all by yourself, which to me is bad breaking. 00:42:00 Speaker 1: I now it was. It really took the fun out of it, for sure. 00:42:04 Speaker 3: I mean I was telling you was on the podcast or before this, I wasn't like I was booking at some point and then I was like, this is too stressful. 00:42:12 Speaker 1: Yes, it's a lot. 00:42:13 Speaker 4: Were talking June when we were talking about. 00:42:16 Speaker 1: This last year. It was last year we were talking about that. 00:42:20 Speaker 4: Uh, it's hard that you have a. 00:42:22 Speaker 1: Chapstick but I believe it's falling out of your pocket, and I don't want it to hit the ground. 00:42:25 Speaker 4: Thanks for walking out there, go. I might leave it there. No, I'm going to pick it up. 00:42:29 Speaker 3: I'm going to pick it up. I'm going to set it on the table. The chapstick is not the host of the podcast. 00:42:35 Speaker 1: We are you a Friends fan? 00:42:37 Speaker 4: A Friends fan? 00:42:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a weird relationship reaction. I have a really weird relationship with broth. Friends came out when I was like late elementary, maybe early middle. 00:42:49 Speaker 4: School probably uh, same from Afar. 00:42:53 Speaker 3: I was obsessed with the huh. Was not really allowed to watch it, Okay, probably so. I've probably seen a total of ten Friends episodes. I did play and I've probably said this on this podcast a thousand times. I played the theme song at a piano resite, okay, that memorized it. Loved the theme song, catchy tune catch I called in and requested the rembrands on at B ninety eight point seven in probably seventh grade. Don't think they played my request. I loved the song. 00:43:24 Speaker 4: Obviously was very invested in Ross and Rachel. I love Phoebe. 00:43:30 Speaker 3: But I couldn't tell you how many episodes I've actually ever seen Wow, and now as an adult, it's a little like a relic it. 00:43:36 Speaker 1: Actually some of the stuff doesn't hold out, sure, but the comedy holds out. Okay, I just rewatched the entire series. 00:43:42 Speaker 3: Wow, which is how many episodes? Do you think it was three hundred four hundred episodes? 00:43:47 Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but it was a lot. 00:43:49 Speaker 4: Well, it's probably twenty four episodes a. 00:43:51 Speaker 1: Season at that time. 00:43:56 Speaker 3: Okay, that's a lot of episodes, which is about what one hundred and something hours of TV. You watched the whole thing from beginning to dip? Yeah, how was that experience? 00:44:04 Speaker 1: It was incredible? It was so fun. 00:44:07 Speaker 3: Did you have to was it incredible from the beginning or did you have to like get into that now? 00:44:10 Speaker 1: It starts off very fast and good. 00:44:13 Speaker 3: The first episode I just walked rewatched a little while ago, and it was fun. 00:44:18 Speaker 1: No, it's fun. The first season is incredible television, truly. 00:44:21 Speaker 4: Does it ever go downhill? Yes? 00:44:23 Speaker 1: When I want to say, like, it dips and then it comes back, So there's a dip. I want to say season seven eight. Okay, it dips, but it's still good. It's just it was so good before that the graph has been thrown off. 00:44:38 Speaker 4: Can you put your finger on what was going wrong with it? 00:44:41 Speaker 1: I think it just listen. That's a long time to keep a show going. And again, it was so good. How can you stay on? What goes up must come down? We all know, yes, and it just to sustain that level of comedy is really difficult. Yes, and it dipped. It was still funny, but it just wasn't like I think some of the first episodes there's a laugh every minute. 00:45:03 Speaker 4: That's so impressive, really impossible. 00:45:06 Speaker 1: It's and my husband had never watched. 00:45:08 Speaker 4: It, okay. 00:45:09 Speaker 3: So that's what I'm curious about, because he doesn't have any like nostalgia attack. 00:45:13 Speaker 1: No, he had never seen it. He grew up in a quote unquote Seinfeldt House. Oh interesting, So he had never watched it, okay, And I said, you're missing out, and so he agreed to take this journey with me, and it's on his reil Max and so we just start watching it and he loved it. 00:45:29 Speaker 4: And did he have to like adjust to it or anything. 00:45:31 Speaker 1: Or I'm telling you. He watched the finale, and then we watched the reunion, and then I caught him watching the pilot again he said I missed them. Oh, I'm telling you it's the pilot. Is great. 00:45:44 Speaker 4: Okay, maybe I need to just start going through it. 00:45:46 Speaker 1: I'm curious clip it to the back here, not to spoil what is coming for you each mom. So this is kind of a janky calendar. I would clearly this was just a cheap. 00:45:58 Speaker 4: Calendar. I don't know is it official or is it bootleg? 00:46:01 Speaker 1: I think it's a bootleg. So this image on the front I believe was a rolling Stone photo. It's not from the show. So I'm like, why is this one of the months when it's supposed to be the show? And then it has that impact font kind of they're trying. 00:46:12 Speaker 4: To make Yeah, it's the ume. 00:46:16 Speaker 1: Yes, and some of them aren't accurate. The words aren't correct, and I'm just like. 00:46:20 Speaker 3: Eh, this was probably created by AI? Should I read it? 00:46:23 Speaker 1: Probably was created by AI. I'm curious, as a fair weather watcher if any of these resonate, Like, do you recognize any of these iconic moments? 00:46:31 Speaker 3: Okay, so the first one says that it's the our friends. Yes, it's only four of our friends. Actually Monica is missing. 00:46:38 Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. 00:46:39 Speaker 3: They're all poking their heads out from behind the door. They must be looking at Monica. 00:46:42 Speaker 1: Okay. 00:46:43 Speaker 3: Uh and it says the floating heads have a point? 00:46:46 Speaker 4: Is that from the show? 00:46:48 Speaker 1: Yes, But as a person who's seen every episode multiple times, that doesn't ring my. 00:46:52 Speaker 4: Best not anyone's catch phrase. 00:46:54 Speaker 1: Yes, it's not in my opinion, which is subjective, not an iconic moment I would put. 00:47:00 Speaker 4: On account, especially the first. 00:47:01 Speaker 1: Month exactly January is coming in hot. 00:47:04 Speaker 4: Yes, okay, so then we've got to have you doing that. 00:47:06 Speaker 3: Okay, yes, yes, we know that, We've got Joey, we have uh Ross, Yes, yes, Ross looks like he's wearing a woman's shirt, so that's the joke. 00:47:15 Speaker 1: So that's the joke there. I will say the homophobia, the casual homophobia, does a lot of It's honestly a lot. So that was something that was cringe rewatching. But in this episode, Ross is wearing a female shirt and that's why Joey is hitting on him. 00:47:32 Speaker 3: Okay, because in the nineties, America's homophone. 00:47:38 Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, So again, not a great choice. 00:47:41 Speaker 2: For the. 00:47:44 Speaker 3: Come on, read the room. Okay, then we've got a pivot, pivot, pivot. 00:47:47 Speaker 1: Okay, do you know pivot? No, okayalast do you Knowvo. 00:47:52 Speaker 4: This doesn't work for on a lease. 00:47:54 Speaker 1: Someone out there is laughing in their car. 00:47:56 Speaker 3: Someone out there is remembering this moment. 00:47:58 Speaker 1: Pivot is what probably prompted us to watch All the Friends, because as we were moving into our home, we were moving all our furniture. I kept saying to my husband, Pivot, Pivot, and he'd looked at me like I was insane. I'm like, you've never seen Friends, and he's like, no, Pivot is an iconic moment. Okay, so everyone check it out. 00:48:19 Speaker 4: Pivot. Okay, so that one makes sense. 00:48:20 Speaker 3: Yes, Next up we have Ross baring his teeth and it says I whitened them. 00:48:26 Speaker 4: Yes, so he obviously whitened his teeth. 00:48:28 Speaker 1: There's an episode where Ross whitens his teeth too much. 00:48:32 Speaker 3: Okay, I feel like whitening your teeth it what do you think is always too much? 00:48:36 Speaker 4: Yes, it's always so obvious? 00:48:38 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, but this is comically obvious. See the episode. 00:48:43 Speaker 4: Okay, look for the episode. 00:48:44 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, now we've gotten Now this I mean, and this is familiar to me, not from the show, but because it's become such amazingly could I be wearing more clothes? 00:48:55 Speaker 1: See. I thought it was could I be wearing any more clothes? And the fact that they left out any was troubling to me. 00:49:02 Speaker 4: Yeah, so is that Chandler? 00:49:04 Speaker 1: Could I be wearing any more clothes? So I'm like, who did this calendar? But then I started second guessing myself. 00:49:11 Speaker 4: Yeah, you could goole and let me not. 00:49:16 Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but yes, this is again top five most iconic Friends moment for sure. 00:49:22 Speaker 4: Should I keep going through this? 00:49:23 Speaker 1: Yeah, only if you think your audience will find. 00:49:25 Speaker 4: This a music anymore? 00:49:27 Speaker 3: On Jackie is doing a victory. You should have done this calendar. This must be on a face. 00:49:36 Speaker 4: It's absolutely GBT made this calendar. Chat GPT make a friend's calendar for me? 00:49:41 Speaker 3: I bet it could, Honestly, if that's probably what it is. This feels like sub chat GPT to be honest, relieve they. 00:49:48 Speaker 1: Left out the word on the most arguably the most iconic moment of Friends. 00:49:53 Speaker 3: Right, even I know I've only seen a few of the episodes gave away. 00:49:57 Speaker 4: We're gonna skip around here, let's see. 00:49:59 Speaker 1: Any something else kind of why do you read them and see if anything resonates? 00:50:03 Speaker 3: If he doesn't share food, Hi, I'm Chandler. I make jokes when I'm uncomfortable hug for her role for you. 00:50:09 Speaker 4: What does not even mean? 00:50:11 Speaker 1: It's a long story? Say it, say we are unagi. I would argue Nogi is a big moment. 00:50:17 Speaker 3: Okay, big moment. How so is that Phoebe saying that? Yes, okay, that makes sense to me. 00:50:23 Speaker 1: It's I could I could tell you the whole episode if you'd lie like Josh. 00:50:26 Speaker 4: But let's get a chat bet chat GPT summary. 00:50:30 Speaker 1: You know what I want chat GBT to write a friends back. 00:50:33 Speaker 4: Oh, it's probably already has I. 00:50:36 Speaker 1: Would love to read it. I bet it would basically just be this calendar, interior, Central Perk, Joey walks in how You're doing? It writes itself, It writes itself. 00:50:47 Speaker 4: There are two hundred and thirty episodes to pick from. I mean to pull from. 00:50:50 Speaker 3: I'm gonna do that when I get home, the routine you love Me and waiting for Santa, like that's from the show. That's just. 00:51:00 Speaker 1: This calendar is a mess. This is this calendar is a damn mess. 00:51:06 Speaker 4: And it's well, maybe this is from a Christmas episode. 00:51:09 Speaker 1: I don't think it is. 00:51:10 Speaker 4: It's Monica and Chandler just laying in bed. 00:51:12 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this is the worst calendar that I've ever seen. You're welcome. 00:51:17 Speaker 4: By the way, where did you get this from? 00:51:20 Speaker 2: So? 00:51:20 Speaker 1: I was at the Glendale Gallera. 00:51:21 Speaker 4: Okay, I love the gallery too. 00:51:24 Speaker 1: So many Boba t options. 00:51:25 Speaker 3: Oh they're a billion I'm not a Boba tea drinker. Textually, it doesn't work for me. 00:51:30 Speaker 1: Bring it on, bring them all on. Anyway, I was walking and there was this little curio shop, if you will, and I went in and got some holiday gifts. And when I checked out, the lovely cashier said, well, if you spend five more dollars, you get fifteen dollars off. Oh I'm not a mathematician, but that sounds like a pretty lubratic deal. So I said, what in the store is five dollars? And she said, all these calendars and they had fifty everyone's to choose. They had Harry Potter, they had kittens, they had and I said, I like friends, I'll take the friends one. So then I got it home and I looked, took a look at it, and I said, this is wonky, Like could I be wearing more clothes waiting for Santa? This isn't even accurate. So I said, I might put this in a pile for donations to slash. Maybe a nice presence for a new friend. 00:52:25 Speaker 4: Yes, it's a perfect gift. 00:52:27 Speaker 1: Were new friends had friends. It says it right here, and I wanted to come give you just a little welcome gift. 00:52:36 Speaker 4: And my friend shifted it out. 00:52:37 Speaker 3: I would have been like, this is an accurate fast and you might hang it up. 00:52:42 Speaker 4: Gorgeous pictures pixelated. 00:52:44 Speaker 1: Yeah, really bad gold. 00:52:46 Speaker 3: Uh. It does have uh, this is kind of a fun calendar in a way that it has all those kind of phony holidays. 00:52:54 Speaker 1: Built into National Donut Day. 00:52:56 Speaker 3: And things like ice cream sandwich Wow, which is well August fourth, August fourth. 00:53:02 Speaker 1: Good to know this year August fourth? 00:53:04 Speaker 4: Okay, what's uh? Let's look towards January. 00:53:07 Speaker 3: What do we have? We've got Popcorn Day, opposite day, Hot Sauce Day, January twenty. 00:53:14 Speaker 1: Sixth, Anything good happening on that day? 00:53:17 Speaker 3: Seeing anything for the listener to be enjoying the nineteenth yesterday was opposite corn Day.

Wonder what we do on backwards close? 00:53:31 Speaker 4: Walk back? 00:53:32 Speaker 1: Maybe we drive backwards. 00:53:33 Speaker 3: Drive backwards, sure, I mean, there are so many things you can do in reverse. And then we've got to send a card to a friend day on the seventh of February. 00:53:41 Speaker 1: That's a nice sighting. 00:53:42 Speaker 4: This is blown it, I mean, like, who, yeah. 00:53:45 Speaker 1: This was a I did this.

This is a real This one's cut off too. What is this? 00:55:26 Speaker 2: Oh? 00:55:26 Speaker 1: Can I tell you a funny story? So we're rewatching Friends. I believe it was shot in standard. 00:55:33 Speaker 3: Styes, rard, yes, ratio. 00:55:37 Speaker 1: We were watching it in I guess we all have wide screened. Back in the later seasons, when everyone was super rich and phoning it into an extent, they would leave for their reverse shots and have extras be there. And there was a full scene where Ross was talking to Monica and it was some random woman and I literally pause. It was like, what the fuck? And that kept happening. Isn't that funny? I know it was, so of course tiktoked it. Of course made a moment. You're on TikTok to get viral? 00:56:11 Speaker 4: Did it go viral? 00:56:12 Speaker 3: Oh? 00:56:13 Speaker 4: What a shame. 00:56:14 Speaker 1: I going viral is honestly terrifying. I haven't had anything like really go viral, but it's terrifying. 00:56:21 Speaker 4: Oh you've got Suddenly everyone's looking. 00:56:22 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's all fun and games when people that know you and support you think you're funny, but then when you cross into that other water. 00:56:30 Speaker 3: Context, it can get horrified. Yes, suddenly everyone's out for blood. Do you have a friend, favorite friend? 00:56:40 Speaker 1: Well, if I was a friend, I'm Chandler. 00:56:43 Speaker 4: You're Chandler. And what does that mean? 00:56:46 Speaker 1: Well, I think we both come from broken homes with parental trauma. 00:56:53 Speaker 4: Okay, sure, Like. 00:56:55 Speaker 1: Many of us, we do use humors of defense. Okay, As this says I make jokes, what does it say something about I make jokes when I'm uncomfortable. 00:57:02 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, so that's fair. 00:57:04 Speaker 1: You go Chandler. Spoiler alert has sort of a career existential meltdown. At some point, quits his job and creates a whole new career for himself, a sort of career. He goes into advertising. Okay, and the whole joke of the first part of the show is that nobody knows what Chandler does for a living. He does something with numbers. Okay, sure, some kind of transponsor number people who. 00:57:29 Speaker 4: You should have made this calendar? 00:57:31 Speaker 1: I did, actually did make that home printed. So I think I'm and I'm also married to a Monica. Oh, okay, again, is a spoiler? 00:57:39 Speaker 4: And what does that mean for your husband? 00:57:42 Speaker 1: He is a type a clean freak, extremely competitive jewish. 00:57:47 Speaker 4: All right, kind of slutty, let's say that again. 00:57:50 Speaker 1: Is that kind of slutty? 00:57:51 Speaker 2: Oh? 00:57:51 Speaker 4: Kind of slutty interest? 00:57:53 Speaker 1: You could argue that she was kind of the the sex positive one. 00:57:57 Speaker 4: She was okay, interesting, I'm not I'm not fine with fine way. 00:58:01 Speaker 1: I just want to go I'm an. 00:58:01 Speaker 4: Ally but Monica, All. 00:58:05 Speaker 1: I'm a Monica Ally, So I'm married to Monica. I'm a Chandler. But I love Phoebe. I feel like Phoebe and Joey are the funniest. 00:58:12 Speaker 4: Right, They're always there basically for comedy. 00:58:15 Speaker 1: There, Joey is so funny to play dumb is so hard and he does it so well right, so committed. He's the funniest, I would say, right, and then Lisa Kudro is right there. 00:58:27 Speaker 4: Lisaudro is just hilarious all times. 00:58:30 Speaker 1: But they're all so good. I'm telling you, I guess I like to give it a bottle. Watch the pilot. Just watch the pilot. 00:58:37 Speaker 4: I need to watch more than the pilot. I've seen the pilot enough. 00:58:40 Speaker 1: Keep watching that. Keep watching, right, keep watching that first season is fire, Okay, I'll say it fire. 00:58:48 Speaker 4: I got a pedicure yesterday. I want to talk to you. 00:58:49 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about this because I feel like you're kind of an expert. Yes, I do this about once a year, like I should get a petticate myself, and it's never nice. Yeah, is that kind of par for the course with pedicures? 00:59:01 Speaker 1: Well, where'd you? What did you get? Because there's usually tears. 00:59:05 Speaker 4: I mean, this is my other problem. 00:59:07 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:59:07 Speaker 3: I say I'm gonna go out of my way and do something nice for myself. I show up the place, and of course my brain takes over and I say give me, I mean basically abuse me. 00:59:17 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I'll. 00:59:18 Speaker 4: Pay you to hurt me. 00:59:19 Speaker 1: Yes, because it is work. Yes, beauty is pain. That's something a lot of people don't know. But yes, you have to sweat for your art. You have to put in the work to get results. 00:59:30 Speaker 4: And I say, give me the bare minimum. I don't care if I live or die. 00:59:33 Speaker 1: Yes, the problem, there's your problem. If you upgrade to the top one, they most like you. 00:59:39 Speaker 4: Will give you a good ruby. 00:59:41 Speaker 1: They'll put some lovely scented things on you. They'll probably put warm towels up and down the legs, and they do a scrub. They'll do different lotions and oils and things. It'll feel really nice, pamper your skin. So yeah, and also the. 00:59:59 Speaker 3: Place get to a panic because I'm like yelp, you can no longer know for anything. 01:00:06 Speaker 4: They need to shut there. 01:00:08 Speaker 1: You're dancing with the devil on yelps. 01:00:11 Speaker 4: No review can be trusted. 01:00:12 Speaker 1: Well, who do you know that wrights yelps? That's the person you're trusting. I don't write yelps, and I'm a taste maker. What did I tell you? 01:00:21 Speaker 4: And people usually when they have a good experience, don't go to. 01:00:24 Speaker 3: Exactly, only when exactly. 01:00:27 Speaker 1: And also if you read the reviews, you can tell that person is unhinged and having a bad day and complete Like one star. I called and the woman said that they had no appointments that day. I'm never returning. I'm like you didn't even go there. Okay, like this is what you're working with. 01:00:44 Speaker 4: It's a bad website, bad app. 01:00:46 Speaker 1: It doesn't help.

By next year, I'll have enough to go to a pedicure. 01:03:09 Speaker 1: You're worth it. 01:03:12 Speaker 4: Okay. 01:03:12 Speaker 3: I think we should play a game. Okay, I'm gonna put the calendar aside. International Modern day whistle. 01:03:19 Speaker 4: Yeah, I get ready for the game. 01:03:22 Speaker 3: Let's play. I want to play Gift or a Curse with you.

At least you have any idea? Well, then let's play Gift Master. Give me a number between Maybe we'll play both. 01:03:42 Speaker 4: I don't know how much. 01:03:43 Speaker 1: If you did say we might play two. 01:03:46 Speaker 4: How much time do you That's not the question. I'm asking what number. 01:03:49 Speaker 1: I was gonna say. I feed my child with my body in about an hour and a half, so I'm on a crutch. Well, I'm picking my favorite number, which is three. 01:03:57 Speaker 3: Three, Okay, I have to do some light calculator right now, you have the mic, you could promote, recommend, just do whatever you want. 01:04:03 Speaker 4: To be right back. 01:04:05 Speaker 1: Okay, let's see. Oh gosh, the pressure. Some people want it all, but that don't. 01:04:13 Speaker 3: One nothing it all. We're gonna have to cut that out of the episode. Really, we don't have the rights to that sign. 01:04:19 Speaker 1: I think you get like six seconds free. 01:04:21 Speaker 3: On at least we have six seconds of uh I want on alas to look into that. If interesting, Oh no, well we should. How about I do a parody version. 01:04:30 Speaker 4: I don't even think you can do that. Okay, the melody. 01:04:32 Speaker 1: Okay, I don't want Alesia coming after us. 01:04:36 Speaker 3: So listener, if you're if you're not hearing this and saying what's happened? 01:04:39 Speaker 4: Yeah, Jack, you can explain what happened. 01:04:42 Speaker 1: I just sang. I don't even know why. I can say the song. 01:04:44 Speaker 4: You can say the song. 01:04:45 Speaker 1: I just sang, Alicia Keys, I don't know why. I just popped into my head and so I just did a lovely rendition of the chorus. And apparently the big man upstairs gonna knock on the door. And you know what, We've covered enough courts stuf On this episode. We don't need to go back to court. The last thing I need is to get sued, so pull pull another twelve innocent people out of their jobs for the day. So we'll cut that out. But I did sing for everyone and it was nice. 01:05:13 Speaker 3: And we are going to hope that uh six seconds can remain. Only you'll probably look into it and then you know. But music is really so. 01:05:21 Speaker 1: Awful Instagram and TikTok you can use music all the time for anything you want. 01:05:25 Speaker 3: You can basically drag the artists out of their home, punch them, demand that they sing their entire catalog. 01:05:32 Speaker 1: Yet I can't sing six seconds of Alicia Keys. 01:05:35 Speaker 4: Give me a break, Alicia reach out. This is how we play gifts. 01:05:41 Speaker 3: Okay, I give you the birds are really doing it for me to Yes, I'm gonna name three things, three gifts that you can give away, experience with it, whatever. 01:05:51 Speaker 4: Look at the mean the birds. I'm sorry to be so distracted. 01:05:56 Speaker 3: Oh my god, look at them. 01:05:58 Speaker 1: Okay, I love that bird feeder. This is Serene. 01:06:03 Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, I'm so distracted giving you three gifts. You're gonna give these three gifts to three celebrities. I'll tell you the three celebrities in a moment. Okay. These are the gifts you're giving away today. Number one a day out on your boat. Okay, so that's a nice gift. And we don't even know what sort of boat you have. Yeah, some people get very sick, some people get thrown off the boat, so many things are gonna happen on a boat, okay. Number two their own religion okay, interesting gift. And number three a pair of Kirkland signature genes. Okay, great, I'll say this for Kirkland signature jeans well made. I still feel like shape wise, they need. 01:06:40 Speaker 4: To figure it out. 01:06:41 Speaker 1: I have yet to try them, but I. 01:06:43 Speaker 3: Don't own anybody. You know, you'll see them like. They seem like a sturdy gene. But I wish Costco would look into. 01:06:49 Speaker 1: A couple more fit options. 01:06:51 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, okay. Now the celebrities you'll be giving them too are number one Linda Hamilton from Terminator, She's great. Number two Tony Brex and R and B Great. And number three Jesse Eisenberg Okay, kind of a reedy fellow. 01:07:08 Speaker 1: Okay, this is so easy. So Tony's getting the jeans why because she look good in everything? That's very I see her and I would sing her, but I know that I learned my last time. I could see her rocking those jeans and like an early aughts top, like a short top, some Timberland boots, some hoop earrings, a gloss. She's stunting on everyone. Okay, so don Jesse's getting the religion. He's brooding, he's intense. I just I see it. 01:07:35 Speaker 4: You want him in charge of her religion. 01:07:37 Speaker 1: I didn't say I had to join it. You didn't say I had to join it. He didn't say I had to join it. 01:07:41 Speaker 4: That's true, and I actually do think he's kind of a reasonable person. 01:07:45 Speaker 1: I don't know a ton about him. 01:07:46 Speaker 3: He might get a maybe there's a little power hunger in there that might get out of control. 01:07:50 Speaker 1: I think what I'm doing is I'm projecting the what you make into it, playing god in a sense. Yeah, I'm kind of That's what I'm wow. 01:08:00 Speaker 3: So true, he very much does kind of start a religion in that movie exact wrong, Well, does it? 01:08:06 Speaker 1: I don't know. 01:08:07 Speaker 4: You're you're a huge Facebook. 01:08:09 Speaker 1: I love it. I poke people all day long. I can't get enough. 01:08:12 Speaker 4: You've got several groups. 01:08:14 Speaker 1: I poke, I poke, I run groups, targeted ads the whole thing, okay, And then the third would be I would go on the boat with Linda. Linda Linda Hamilton. I don't know enough about her. We could have a nice time each other. 01:08:30 Speaker 4: I mean her arms are always so fit. 01:08:32 Speaker 1: Well, that would be helpful on the boat because we might have to get some ropes pull in the anchor. If it was a sailboat, we would have to be around. It's a whole thing. 01:08:43 Speaker 4: Have you been on the sail have you have? 01:08:45 Speaker 3: Oh? 01:08:45 Speaker 4: Yeah, how was that experience? 01:08:46 Speaker 1: Who hasn't me? 01:08:48 Speaker 2: Well? 01:08:48 Speaker 1: I grew up on a lake. My house is on a lake. Oh okay, So my dad's boat folk and we have we have two. 01:08:55 Speaker 4: Boats, a sailboat and a motor boat. 01:08:57 Speaker 1: We actually don't have sailboats, but I've just know other people from boat folk culture and I was on their saewboats. 01:09:04 Speaker 4: What sort of boats did you have? 01:09:05 Speaker 1: My dad has a speedboat and a cruiser, like a yacht cruiser. 01:09:09 Speaker 4: Nice. 01:09:09 Speaker 1: You're thirty two foot not big, not like so big? 01:09:12 Speaker 4: What lake in Texas was this? 01:09:13 Speaker 1: It's called Lake Rey Hubbard and it is a man made lake in Dallas County, Okay. And it's a pretty disgusting lake. Not to offend anyone, I don't want to have a DC situation on my hands again. But in terms of like the clarity of the water, disgusting, murky, but I did swim in it a lot. 01:09:29 Speaker 3: Did you ever step on anything anything that scared you? Like well, creature? 01:09:33 Speaker 1: One time I was driving home from high school in my Chrysler receibring and I pull up and there are cop cars all down my street. And I'm like, oh no, what what what happened? And I go in the house and my dad is outside and he goes and I go, what's gone? He was the found a body. They found a body, and the copsy's that they could use our gate. And I literally turn around and get in my car and drive the Sonic and get me a ocean water. I said, I'm not going anywhere near this. I can't see a body. I don't need that in my life. Did find the ball a fisherman had hit his head and falled out of his boat. 01:10:04 Speaker 4: No murders as far as we know. 01:10:06 Speaker 1: But if you want to dumb a body, I think that might be a place. 01:10:09 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you're on boats all the time. Yes, I'm waterskiing. 01:10:14 Speaker 1: Boat folk culture, water skiing, jet skis. 01:10:18 Speaker 4: I love water skiing. I haven't been in a long, long term. 01:10:21 Speaker 1: I got to come out. 01:10:23 Speaker 3: Invite me out on the boat you're taking. You can come, you, me and Linda. 01:10:27 Speaker 1: Yes, a trio, It'll be perfect. 01:10:32 Speaker 4: Commercial. 01:10:33 Speaker 3: Yes, I would love that. Who's top? 01:10:37 Speaker 1: I think the spriest double. 01:10:39 Speaker 3: I think probably took turns okay or pull straws to see we could all be on top. 01:10:44 Speaker 1: Yes, I agree. 01:10:45 Speaker 3: I feel like Linda is probably a base. She's got, she's got the description. Yeah, uh, perfectly played. Thank you, I mean excellently played a scorpio. 01:10:55 Speaker 1: We're very definitive. I didn't have to havem in hall. 01:10:58 Speaker 3: I knew my answer. You knew immediately. Okay, it's time to answer a listener question. This is called I said no emails, okay, write in. I said no gifts at you dot com. 01:11:09 Speaker 4: Truly. 01:11:09 Speaker 3: I mean it's disgusting. The listener is disgusting, and they're desperate and they need answers. 01:11:16 Speaker 4: A lot of the. 01:11:16 Speaker 3: Times it's about gifts. I feel like we should open it up. People should just ride in with whatever questions they have. Who cares? 01:11:22 Speaker 1: So many questions? Answer? 01:11:23 Speaker 3: Yes, so many things in social situations. Whatever you want, I'll answer a question. Let's see what we've got in the dock today, though, Let's see we're opening. 01:11:32 Speaker 4: We're opening. 01:11:33 Speaker 3: Okay, this say is you've never read this. I've probably read it months ago. People send it in, I just dump them in the dock. 01:11:40 Speaker 1: Got it. So we'll see why this person's been waiting for two years. 01:11:44 Speaker 4: There's a good. 01:11:45 Speaker 3: Chance this doc is I don't even want to show you it's they're probably people mad at me. Yeah, okay, this is deer Bridger and hauntingly beautiful guests, which is curation. I'm the matre d at a popular restaurant in West Hollywood. 01:12:00 Speaker 1: Whoa local? 01:12:00 Speaker 4: What could that be? 01:12:01 Speaker 3: Pump? 01:12:03 Speaker 1: Maybe? 01:12:03 Speaker 4: I don't know. What are some restaurants in West hollywod. 01:12:05 Speaker 1: You know what? We're East Siders? 01:12:06 Speaker 4: We don't Donald's. 01:12:08 Speaker 3: I've been to a Wendy's, I think in West Hollywood, and as you can imagine, the clientele is often completely insane. Sure maybe this is Pump. On a particularly hectic night, I was already dealing with a slew of difficult guests when a big, burly man walked up to me, got quite close and with what I thought to be a very intense expression on his face. He said hey, I said hi, but then he kept looking at me without responding. I'm used to annoying guys getting in my face at work, who isn't, But I just wasn't having it tonight. So I returned his stare, and with all the sass I could muster, I snapped what He then told me his name, and I realized that I actually know him. He's the bartender from my favorite after work bar. Who knows what bar that could be? Yeah, that I frequent weekly. Totally embarrassed, I apologized profusely and gave him a hug and we both laughed at off. 01:13:00 Speaker 4: This is a story. 01:13:02 Speaker 1: Still, this is why you read ahead bridge, and this is why you edit a little bit. 01:13:06 Speaker 3: No, no, not for me, Why prepare? Why do anything I had done? Still, I feel like I'm super rude, and I want to bring him a little apology present next time I go to his bar. I don't know him very well clearly, and so I'm struggling to come up with something. Exo, Zoe, Zoe, So is the matre d? What does a matre d even do? 01:13:28 Speaker 4: Is it a lot? A lot? 01:13:31 Speaker 3: Do they really do a lot of I'm not familiar with the job tasks of a matre d. 01:13:35 Speaker 1: No, they keep the whole ship running. 01:13:37 Speaker 4: They're kind of a manager type. 01:13:39 Speaker 1: They have their thumb in every well. They have their thumb in every well. Wait, that's not saying. 01:13:47 Speaker 3: Now, every finger in every pot, a chicken in every pot. 01:13:52 Speaker 4: No, that's uh. They've got their their hands on everything. 01:13:57 Speaker 1: Got their finger in every stinkhole in that place. Okay, don't really run and stuff, so don't diminish. She's always job. 01:14:04 Speaker 4: She's not just the host, she's not just the waiter. 01:14:07 Speaker 1: They have to keep the wines flowing, they have to keep everybody happy. They have to keep the restaurant looking tiptop. 01:14:14 Speaker 3: Okay, sure, it's a lot. 01:14:15 Speaker 4: You're kind of describing a lot of jobs here. 01:14:18 Speaker 1: Can I just say real quick? Yes, I went two nights ago to a very kooky new like very la restaurant and it was unhinged. It was truly unhinged. The restaurant it was called It's endless, feeless. It's only been open for a few weeks. 01:14:35 Speaker 3: Picturing restaurants, it is called Marat I have heard of this. 01:14:40 Speaker 1: And the music was so loud we were sitting in very uncomfortable but cool chairs. There were so many plants everywhere you could barely walk and my in laws were with me from DC and they were so confused and didn't know what was going on. All the food was insane next to us. I'm going to name drop because it's exciting. Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox. 01:14:59 Speaker 3: Wow, you know you're really yes? 01:15:01 Speaker 1: That That's why I say it, because that really gives you the ombius. You're still together, honey, They're engaged and good for It was one of the wackiest meals I've ever had, and I'm like, this is why I don't leave. You know, Northeast LA. What sort of food Mexican with California and spout? I believe is what my waiter told us. 01:15:22 Speaker 4: Is this on Vermont It's where Rockwell used to be space. No, I haven't. I didn't know. It was so wild it was. 01:15:30 Speaker 1: I didn't either. My My husband likes mescal and it was his birthday and I'm like, we'll go to the new messcal bar that just opened. I didn't know I was walking into. 01:15:38 Speaker 4: Machine machine Guns. 01:15:40 Speaker 1: Yes the night that should have been the name of the place. So I'm assuming Zoe works somewhere similar, so I. 01:15:46 Speaker 4: Brought that up with the clientele. 01:15:47 Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think a gift is necessary. However, if you wanted to get something, I would get a little jar of trouble salt because everybody get used to tumbles. All this delicious. 01:15:58 Speaker 3: I think the gift ise gives after you describe what a maitre d does. Zoe resigns. She dropped in a huge way. 01:16:07 Speaker 1: You know, we all get stressed out. 01:16:09 Speaker 4: I don't care. 01:16:10 Speaker 3: There's no excuse if you're at a restaurant fancy enough for a maitre d. Zoe, you're nice to everybody. 01:16:15 Speaker 1: I agree. But when it's a larger man and we don't know Zoe's gender, we don't know Zoey's That's true. A lot of times you can be put on edge. 01:16:24 Speaker 4: Sure, you know, with the job of a matre. 01:16:27 Speaker 1: D is always right, even if they're making they're harassing. 01:16:32 Speaker 4: Okay, Zoe was in the right here, but I still think Zoe should resign. 01:16:36 Speaker 1: This is what Zoe should do. Buy a trouble salt and buy one for yourself. Oh joy, a little avocado toast, put it on uh anything? 01:16:43 Speaker 3: Really, I'm not crazy about a truffle flavor like a fry or anything. 01:16:48 Speaker 4: It never works for me. 01:16:49 Speaker 1: Okay, on a least, what do you think you into it? Okay, Well, if you work in the restaurant business, you probably have a developed, refined palate for these things and you would appreciate she I used to work at the cheese Sick factory at the Grove, so I know these things. 01:17:05 Speaker 3: You worked at the one at the Grove with a huge escalator, honey, huge. What's your favorite cheesecake factory dish? What would you recommend? 01:17:12 Speaker 1: I don't know. It was sixteen years ago. Okay, So the menu is vast, as we all know, it's so big. I don't eat anything anymore. I don't eat any Yeah. Yeah, so I don't even know what I would order. 01:17:23 Speaker 4: It's going to be a hard place to be. 01:17:25 Speaker 1: Well, you know what I will say. I went to the Glendeal Galleria to see one of the Jurassic Park movies a few years ago, and I popped an edible and we ended up having some time. So we went to the Cheese Saik factory there and I just casually mentioned to the hostess, I said, I used to work here. I go, I used to work at the Grove store. Right, they caught my freaking meal. They gave me like a half priced meal. What And I think maybe they misunderstood me, like she thought I worked. I don't know, but I didn't ask questions. Wow, goosey, I didn't ask questions. I believe I got a black bean burger. It's fine. 01:17:53 Speaker 4: I'm sure it was fine. 01:17:54 Speaker 1: It's fine. 01:17:54 Speaker 4: Yeah, I need to I haven't been there in a long time. And people love the cheesecake. Fact. 01:17:57 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a staple, it's a whole. It used to be a fancy restaurant. We would go eat there after homecoming in high school. 01:18:02 Speaker 3: Like, oh my god, oh you were saying that the location at the Grove used to be a fancy restaurant. 01:18:09 Speaker 4: Yeah, that used to be a real event. 01:18:11 Speaker 1: Same with p Changs. Changs used to be the after prom meal. 01:18:15 Speaker 3: Yes, that's exactly how it was for us, say, kind of the same tier of restaurant. I haven't been to either in a long time. 01:18:22 Speaker 4: I need to revisit. Yeah, I don't know. 01:18:24 Speaker 1: Let's go to Marate. 01:18:26 Speaker 4: We should go to Marate, you me and Megan. 01:18:31 Speaker 1: Maybe Lisauro. 01:18:32 Speaker 3: Lisa Kudro is the waiter. You never have you know, you never know what'll happen. 01:18:37 Speaker 1: You know her sister and friends Ursula, which is also Lisa, is a waitress. 01:18:42 Speaker 4: Oh is that true? What is Phoebe's job and friends a massage therapist? That's right, that's right. I'm showing my ignorance here in such a huge embarrassing way. 01:18:52 Speaker 1: Well, now you have the calendar to study. 01:18:53 Speaker 4: I've got the. 01:18:56 Speaker 3: Up. I think we answered Zoe's quick pretty well. I'm telling her to resign, you're telling her get the truffle salt. Hopefully one of these things will repair that situation. Do you have a time for one more? Yeah? 01:19:11 Speaker 4: You think? 01:19:12 Speaker 3: I feel like we've never done we haven't done two in such a long time. We're doing such a great job. Okay, this is Dearest Bridger, an honored guest. Giving gifts brings me delight during conversations with friends and family. I mentally log any casually mentioned wants and save them for months down the road to give for birthday or celebrations. I know I need to do that. My gifts are sourced with research and adoration because I ardently want to give them something meaningful and wanted by the recipient, not something they would get for themselves and they are always okay. The sentence listener is a little hard for me to say. They're always met with surprise and joy. 01:19:49 Speaker 1: We get it. You want to be thoughtful. I have the same neurosis. 01:19:52 Speaker 3: My issue is that those people never give thoughtful gifts to me. They give general gifts, not necessarily specific to me, something that would suit someone that is a close acquaintance. There was one gift the group went in went in on and they were thrilled to watch me open it, and as I did, they missed the mark so far. It left me wondering what signals am I giving to them? 01:20:14 Speaker 1: Interesting. 01:20:15 Speaker 3: I understand that everyone does not relish in gift giving as I do, but as I have many hobbies and interests, the mirrors thought would result in a fitting present I would actually use and enjoy. Do I need to manage my expectations or use less thought and enter or use less thought and energy when gifting to them? I love the podcast and your interesting conversations. That's very nice. 01:20:36 Speaker 1: It is very nice. 01:20:38 Speaker 4: Sincerely, Jay. Jay sounds deeply ungrateful. 01:20:42 Speaker 3: Jay's I mean and Jay doesn't understand how gift giving works well. 01:20:47 Speaker 1: Jay's love language is clearly gift giving. Sure not everyone's is right. I believe in hashtag gift transparency. 01:20:55 Speaker 4: And what does that mean? 01:20:56 Speaker 1: Jay should send out an email around the gift giving time.
