1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Well, 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 to my home, you

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty.

4
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: And I said, no, guests.

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: Your presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff,

6
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: So how do you dare to surbey me?

7
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: Welcome to? I said, no gifts. I'm richer Wine girl.

8
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: It's uh, you know, it's a wonderful day. It's you,

9
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: it's me, it's maybe it's your phone, it's whoever listening

10
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: to us. And I hope that we're going to have

11
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: a good time here because we also have another person

12
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: with us, another fantastic, extremely funny person that I'm so

13
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: thrilled to talk to, Aparna Nancherla. Hello, Parna, Welcome to.

14
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: I said, no gifts.

15
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having me. How are you okay?

16
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: I don't know how to answer that question anymore.

17
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: I think you have to. I think the way to

18
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: answer it is literally, how are you feeling in this

19
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: literal second? Because outside of that, everything's spinning out of control.

20
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: That's true, that's true. Then I would say I am

21
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: maintaining a semblance of normalcy.

22
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: Oh that's great. I mean, that's all anyone can ask

23
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: for at this point.

24
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so, and.

25
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: I think I'm the same. You know, it's it's been

26
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: a perfect year and my mental health is an A plus,

27
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: and you know, everything is just smooth. So I'm perfect. No,

28
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: I really think that I all things considered, IM fine.

29
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

30
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: Things could be much worse. Yes, I mean personally planet wise,

31
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: things may not chance. I couldn't be.

32
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: Pretty strong argument for things being rough.

33
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: At the very least rough, but they are. You know,

34
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: I feel like we've got a little light ahead of us.

35
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: We've got you know, sort of vaccine, this kind of thing. Yes, Yes,

36
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: if we could just hang in a little bit longer,

37
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: maybe we'll it'll be fineish.

38
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like a part in the movie where

39
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: there is a glimmer of Yeah.

40
00:02:54,639 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: I think we're like maybe seventy minutes into well, actually

41
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: that would be like a ninety minute movie. And this

42
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: has not been a ninety minute movie. This is like

43
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: a three hour, fifteen minute movie.

44
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 3: So we're going at this is an Avatar, yes, Titanic

45
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: type scenario.

46
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: This is a James Cameron directed picture, and we're like

47
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: two forty five. I would say, yes, yes, So everyone

48
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: needs to go to the bathroom. At this point, everyone's

49
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: feeling a little hungry for dinner, but we know it's

50
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: almost over.

51
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: Yes, Now, I meet a realization recently about myself about

52
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: horror movies or movies where, you know, thrillers, where everything

53
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: falls apart around the main character and then at the

54
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: end they're sort of left heroically looking around at the

55
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: shards of civilization or their life. And I realized that

56
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: I feel sorry for them, and I think, I think

57
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: maybe we're supposed to be happy they survived. And I

58
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: realized that I always think that they actually got the

59
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: worst lot of everyone.

60
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: That's very true, because they've lost everything.

61
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: They've lost everything through all that, Right, Yeah, like, what

62
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: is what's the best case scenario moving forward for that person?

63
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: Right? Like the first person in the movie to die

64
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: is kind of the person that we all want to be.

65
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: You don't want to live through all that nonsense, Michael

66
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: Myers killing everyone in the neighborhood and suddenly you're Jamie

67
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: Lee Curtis and you're hiding in the closet.

68
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

69
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: It's a lot to deal with, and then you're like

70
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: the beginning of a movie franchise. You don't want to

71
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: be at the beginning of a movie franchise, You've got

72
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: all these challenges ahead of you.

73
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then by a movie three, who knows what

74
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: state you'll be.

75
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: In, right, I mean you've lost that at that point,

76
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: multiple sets of friends and family, you know, it's too much.

77
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: It's absolutely different.

78
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 3: I made the mistake of watching the most recent How

79
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: We Reboot because it was directed by I'm not like

80
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: a huge horror movie aficionado, but occasionally I'll give myself

81
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: once to watch as sort of a personal challenge. And

82
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 3: I don't know why I decided I would watch Halloween,

83
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 3: but I think because the director was the guy did

84
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 3: Eastbound and Down, so for some reason, I thought it

85
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: would be funny and it wasn't.

86
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 2: Is there any comedy in it?

87
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: There's I think one little kid who is a little

88
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: bit of comic relief, but other than that, pretty much grim,

89
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: grim slaughter.

90
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: Is it scary?

91
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: It's so scary. I made a darrible mistake.

92
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: I've only ever seen the first Halloween, which I really love.

93
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: It's scary, it's fun, it's like a movie you eat

94
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: pizza with. And then I think I saw the third movie,

95
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: where it's like about a haunted mask factory, oh, where

96
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: like and puts on a mask and it brainwashes you

97
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,119
Speaker 2: and whoa. Jamie Lee Curtis is not involved with that one. Yeah,

98
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: Oh that.

99
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 3: One was like her sabbatical.

100
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: Yes, she said, I'm going to take a step back.

101
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: You guys do this one without me, and I'll come

102
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: back in twenty years.

103
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, because this one. I only mentioned this one because

104
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: it really is like, you know, twenty years later or whatever,

105
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 3: and we're stepping back into James Leake Curtis's life and

106
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: it's it's a horror show the way she has still lived.

107
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 2: After What is she dealing with in this movie? Is

108
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: it like about her Michael Meyers trauma.

109
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like about her trauma. And there's like a

110
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 3: new younger character or like her daughter, I think. But

111
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: then of course her daughter was raised with this like

112
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: emotionally accent mother because everyone she knows died and you

113
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: don't really blame her. And there's just a lot of

114
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 3: lots in the house if I recall.

115
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: Oh boy, and I feel like they made an another

116
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: one that was supposed to come out recently.

117
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: But oh, I don't even know that.

118
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: I think because of the pandemic, maybe it got delayed.

119
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: This also may just be something I've imagined somehow or

120
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: some sort of glitch in my brain, but that feels right.

121
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: I Mean, they're going to keep making those movies regardless.

122
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: So sure, so you're occasionally watching a horror movie. I

123
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,679
Speaker 2: feel like most people are either they will watch horror

124
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: movies or they won't. And you have these little challenges

125
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: you're giving yourself.

126
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I really want to be someone who

127
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: who is into horror movies. And then it's like I

128
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: have this short term amnesia where every term I'm actually

129
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: watching one, I'm like, I don't like this. Why did

130
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: I do this again?

131
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: What's your like your physical reaction to a horror movie.

132
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: Are you like screaming or you're just nervous.

133
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 3: I'm nervous, and then I cannot watch the anything too gory,

134
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: Like I have to shut my eyes during that part.

135
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: So if it's a very bloody movie, I'm I'm checked

136
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: out for a lot of it.

137
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: Right. I feel like I can deal with like suspense

138
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: and being chased around Halloway is this kind of thing,

139
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: but yeah, like a brain or you know, guts, it's

140
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: a little difficult for me.

141
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love psychological or so I think I'm always

142
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: in the mood like I think I'm in the right

143
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 3: territory if I picked something that's more psychological. But then

144
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: I don't know. If you watch any of Ari Astor's.

145
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: Movies, Oh, like Midsummer.

146
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: Midsummer and Hereditary, they kind of do both, which I

147
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: didn't know.

148
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, let's talk about Hereditary for a moment.

149
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: Head out the car window is just one of the

150
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: most jarring things I've ever heard.

151
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: Miss. I'm so embarrassed to say I watched it on

152
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: a plane. Not a plane movie.

153
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: Those movies make you feel so uncomfortable and to be

154
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: trapped on a plane with them. Good grief. He has

155
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: something with bashing people's heads in Actually, now I'm thinking

156
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: about Midsummar. You've got a lot of it, doesn't. Somebody

157
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: have like a giant mallet and crush a head and then.

158
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: He has a thing of like crushing the head and

159
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: then flashing back to the head several times throughout the

160
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: movie like you've forgot about it.

161
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: It's and in case you missed it sort of thing exactly.

162
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 2: Oh jeez, Well, I appreciate that you are at least

163
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 2: willing to watch horror movies because I know some people

164
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: just put the they have a hard fast rule, I

165
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: won't even try it well.

166
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 3: That The interesting thing I find is I'm a pretty

167
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 3: anxious person, and I find that many anxious people can't

168
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: watch them because they are just too far in the

169
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: direction of things they don't want to think about. But

170
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: then a lot of anxious people do watch them because

171
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: I think it gives you a weird sense of control

172
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: all over all of your worst spears of just watching

173
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: it play out. I don't know, I don't even know.

174
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: It feels kind of like a release to me in

175
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: some ways. Yeah, It's like, yeah, it's like the things

176
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: I'm constantly imagining are now in front of me, and

177
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: I get to watch this poor person deal with it, yes,

178
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: rather than me for an hour and a half. This

179
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: is an interesting December conversation.

180
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: Sure, sure days are short and thinking about it.

181
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 2: Are you much of a holiday season person at all?

182
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: I do like the holiday season, I think, I despite myself.

183
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: I just like all of the sort of fanfare and

184
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: verbal tea around it, like that everyone sort of just

185
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: embraces it wholeheartedly. But I have found recently, over the

186
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: past few years, I have noticed like the sort of

187
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: seasonal depression, part of myself coming out more, and then

188
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 3: it sort of has to negotiate, like how is this

189
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: part of me going to feel about Mariah Carey's catalog

190
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: holiday music.

191
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 2: There is like a weird clash of emotions this time

192
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: of year where you're supposed to feel cheery and happy

193
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: and everything visually and audio wise we're hearing happiness. But

194
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: then there's like reflecting on the year, reflecting on your life,

195
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: that kind of the coldness, the darkness, it's a it's

196
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: a real car crash.

197
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: For Yeah, even that, what is the Scrooge tail Christmas Carol?

198
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 3: That's like a yeah, that's like a big this is

199
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 3: your life screwge? Like, how do you feel about as

200
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: present and future? If any of us did that, none

201
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 3: of us would come out looking too hot.

202
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: No, I don't need to see any of that. I mean,

203
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 2: you go anything beyond me being a baby. Sure, go

204
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: back to that that past, that's fine, But everything else,

205
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: the mistakes I've made. I want to look at these things.

206
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: That story, I mean, it's essentially just a Halloween's story.

207
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: It is.

208
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: It's like a scary it's really just like a Dickensian

209
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: kale of cancel culture.

210
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 2: Did you see Have you ever seen the Muppet version?

211
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: No, I don't think I have.

212
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: Oh, you have to see the Muppets.

213
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 3: I know, I do. I love the Muppet, so I

214
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: don't know why I haven't seen it.

215
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: If you love the Muppets, if you love ghosts, if

216
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: you love Michael Caine, it's got it all. It's got

217
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: it all, and it's extremely scary.

218
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: It is scary even now.

219
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really a scary I mean the the Ghost

220
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: of Christmas, which one's the scariest. I think future future. Yeah,

221
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: that one's a real demon that he deals with. So

222
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think there was like an FX

223
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: series last year where they tried to turn it into

224
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: like a like a premium cable thing.

225
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 3: I'm trying to make my boyfriend watch it because I

226
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 3: was like, it's gonna be great, and we couldn't even

227
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: make it through one episode.

228
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: It was rough, it was so goth, and it was

229
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: not for me.

230
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 3: Some executives kid.

231
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I was looking at your tweets earlier and you

232
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: revealed something kind of personal about yourself which I want

233
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: to talk about, which is that you wear night socks

234
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: and I actually really appreciate that, because really, I think

235
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: night socks are deeply underappreciated. I mean, I will say,

236
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: so you're sleeping in socks.

237
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: I'm sleeping in socks. Yeah.

238
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 2: And is that year round or just winter?

239
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 3: It's just winter, but it is. I mean, pull this culdure.

240
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: I'm on these antidepressants that make my toes really cold,

241
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 3: so already like year round, but then it gets the

242
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: worst in the winter, so I just have to bundle

243
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: it up.

244
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: I like a night sock, but I feel like it's

245
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: the one piece of night clothing that's the biggest gamble

246
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: because I never know what temperature I'm going to be

247
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night. Oh yeah, so you know,

248
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty I'm taking them off in my sleep.

249
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: I'm waking up with socks on sweating.

250
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah that. I mean, let me be fully clear.

251
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: That happens over frequently time.

252
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: Okay, well, then that makes me feel a little bit

253
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: better about this, I think, yeah, go ahead, go No.

254
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: I just think I don't know. I think I'm past

255
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: thirty five, and I think it's like your body's just

256
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: in free fall. I know that's probably so insulting to

257
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: anyone over thirty five to be like this is the

258
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: beginning of the end, babe, but it really does feel

259
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: like my body kind And it was like, I don't,

260
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: I don't. I'm not going by the old ways anymore,

261
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: do whatever.

262
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: Well, I think that night socks are nice. I mean

263
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: the fact that I think they are a gamble because

264
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: you know, you are waking up sweating a lot of

265
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: the time. But when they work out, it's a nice insurance.

266
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: It will keep you asleep, maybe even longer than you

267
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: need to, and it's beautiful to just wake up fully comfortable.

268
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: Are you somebody who likes to have the heat on

269
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: at night?

270
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 3: I think we do have We have in our apartment.

271
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: We have heat that cycles on and off. We have

272
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: that whenever that nest thing is that it's like reach

273
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: is a temperature. Then it sort of turns off until

274
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 3: you need it again. So I don't we leave it on.

275
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's not like crank in all the time.

276
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, this has been a debate in my house recently.

277
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: My boyfriend wants to have the heat on on some

278
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: level at night, and I do not. I want it

279
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: to be freezing cold really, so yeah, I would rather

280
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 2: just have a lot of blankets and be warm and

281
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: rather than wake up with the sweat, it's too much

282
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: for me, and I start to have like nightmares. And

283
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: the heat does all kinds of things to you and yours.

284
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: Nothing worse than waking up wet on your back.

285
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: It's really the worst. And it's inescapable. You wake up hot.

286
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: Good luck getting away from that feeling for the rest

287
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: of the night. Your pillow is hot. Yeah, it's like

288
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: you can't move. It's too much. It's absolutely too much.

289
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: But you're in New York, I mean New York, yess,

290
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: so I guess you have to take these things a

291
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: little more seriously.

292
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 3: It has been cold, though, yeah. Climate change. Climate change

293
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: has helped us.

294
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: In when I was living in New York, when I

295
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: was interning there, like eleven years ago or something, I

296
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: was living in this apartment where we had no control

297
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: over the temperature, and so you know, they would just

298
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: literally turn off the heat and you know, in the

299
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: middle of winter, I would be wearing a beanie, I

300
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: would be wearing my winter out, you know, two pairs

301
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 2: of pants to bed, and then they would turn on

302
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: the heat in the middle of the night in some

303
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: of these eighty six degrees and I'm ready to go sledding.

304
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 3: That's something with New York apartments, especially where you have

305
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: like a radiator or something like, it really toasts up

306
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 3: when they when they.

307
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 2: Get they go that radiator is it's wild. It's like

308
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: summer heat.

309
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's yeah. Now you sort of understand the noises

310
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 3: that radiators make because there's some sort of demon in

311
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 3: there that is cranked heat.

312
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: It's just dragging that heat from the center of the earth. Yes,

313
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: way too much, partner. I don't want to get away

314
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: from talking about radiators and hops temperatures. I mean we

315
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: could do this for.

316
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 3: Hours, hours, hours, but I do.

317
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 2: Want to I do have something I want to discuss

318
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: with you, and I don't know how to even approach this.

319
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: It is the holiday season. It's a tricky time of

320
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: year to be receiving and giving and this kind of thing.

321
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 2: Yet recently you agreed to be on my podcast. I said,

322
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 2: no gifts. We live a continent apart West coast, East coast.

323
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 2: There's a way diffulties.

324
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: From you to me. Is the old spice road.

325
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I mean, let's just be honest. Those spice

326
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: roads have been used recently because I opened my door

327
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: last night and there was a little package sitting there. Oh,

328
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: kind of a mysterious package from an online retailer who

329
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: will go unnamed. And you know, I'm occasionally ordering things

330
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 2: for myself online and so I was a little confused

331
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: because I don't I didn't remember ordering myself something. Okay,

332
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: the last thing I ordered was one hundred and twenty

333
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 2: Christmas ornaments for seventeen dollars. What a deal.

334
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 3: A deal?

335
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 2: I mean, probably a hundred of them are the si

336
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: is of like for a mouse, so they're unusable. But

337
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: the twenty that I did get are now on my

338
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 2: Christmas tree. So I was thinking, what is this package?

339
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: I didn't know what so, but I knew you were

340
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 2: coming on today, so I just thought, why not confront

341
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: Aparna and see if maybe this came from her?

342
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Brett, you know that I when I agreed

343
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: to do this podcast, I said that. Well, I expressed

344
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 3: my reservations. I said, you know, we've known each other

345
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: from things and from the internet, and we've made plans

346
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 3: to hang out, but we've never hung yet out. And

347
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: then now he wants me to talk with him for

348
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: an hour straight, if not more and more, And how

349
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: am I supposed to broach the divide. We don't have

350
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: the rapport yet.

351
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 2: So I was like, we got no raport.

352
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: So I confronted my book of etiquette as I do,

353
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 3: and I have a query, and it said send a

354
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 3: little something.

355
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 2: Does does your little book have nothing about you know,

356
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 2: when the host has a hard fast rule, do you

357
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: obey the rule or do you just ignore?

358
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 3: Well? I come from South Asian culture, and the thing

359
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: is there is a culture of refusal that is baked in,

360
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: but it doesn't mean that you listen to it. When

361
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: you're a guest. You have to be you know, liked.

362
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I mean, so I assume this gift is

363
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: for me extreme. I mean, it's now sort of in

364
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 2: this bag. It's just congratulations.

365
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't know what the occasion was.

366
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: So this could be a congratulations for anything.

367
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: I would say, it's a congratulations we are moving to

368
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: the next level of knowing each other.

369
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good congratulations. Congratulations on another perfect year

370
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: for old Bridger. Yeah, congratulations on yeah December.

371
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 3: So yeah, sort of a year and just pat on

372
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 3: the back.

373
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm willing to accept that. Should I open

374
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: it here on the podcast?

375
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 3: I think you should just to warn you it is

376
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: fairly impersonal.

377
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: Oh god, well, I mean this could be. This could

378
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: really just set me on fire. I might be furious.

379
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: You might as well been picked out by an assistant

380
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 3: on a spreadsheet.

381
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: Then I'm going to dive right in. Let's open this up.

382
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: Let's see here.

383
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 3: Okay, oh, yes, that is exactly what I kicked out.

384
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: This is a light up a light up electronic word class.

385
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: It's a word clock. It's a clock for when you're

386
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 3: sick of looking at those numbers. It's all words.

387
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: Wait. Oh, so it's a clock, but it's in word form.

388
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 3: It's in word form.

389
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: Okay. My initial thought that this one was going to

390
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: be I thought it was like, is it like a

391
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: word a day calendar?

392
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: So there's no homework. I mean, there's reading, but that's it.

393
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: This is this is really nice.

394
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 3: I don't know. I felt like I didn't want to

395
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 3: overstep us knowing each other by trying to pick something like, oh,

396
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: I know exactly what Bridger would want. So I tried

397
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: to pick something a little bit vague, and I was like,

398
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: who doesn't need a clock? But you know, at the

399
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 3: same time, we've all had clocks, and I wanted to

400
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: pick a clock with something a little different about it.

401
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: This is a really stylish clock.

402
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 3: It is pretty chic. I mean it does look like,

403
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 3: I don't know, it looks like it's from a James

404
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 3: Bond movie or something.

405
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like it belongs to a cool person.

406
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

407
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 2: So I mean I'm going to run into some difficulties there.

408
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't want to presume you didn't think you

409
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: were cool.

410
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I mean, we'll get back into this,

411
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: but I would like I want you to try to

412
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: guess what's a personal thing you would try to get me.

413
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: I'd like, I'd like to know what that would be.

414
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: Well, see, I would only base it off of your

415
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: work that I have taken it.

416
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: Well, look, that's the information that you've got to work with.

417
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 2: So I want to hear.

418
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 3: Well, your choice was going to be a volleyball medal.

419
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: That's not a bad idea. You had two winning options,

420
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: then you couldn't lose. That's very impressive. Are you somebody

421
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: who like are you a time conscious person? Are you

422
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: someone who shows up on time as well scheduled? Or

423
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 2: are you a mess?

424
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: I am a mess. I'm a mess. Yeah, I'm a

425
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 3: big mess. And I don't. I really don't think I'm

426
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: going to improve my relationship with time in this lifetime.

427
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: Look, you're over thirty five, Ye're in your ways. I

428
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 2: feel like we're both stuck in our ways on this.

429
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 3: I'm set.

430
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: So what does that mean?

431
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: Then?

432
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: Are you showing up to things late? Are you not

433
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: putting things in your calendar very late?

434
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 3: I tend to be good at least about not completely

435
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: faking out on things. But I also have this relationship

436
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 3: to time where it's like, I the amount of time

437
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 3: I think I will need to do something is probably

438
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 3: like ninety percent off how long it will actually take

439
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: me to do it.

440
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: Do you have any recent examples of that?

441
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 3: Even just work Like if I am like, okay, I

442
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 3: have to uh, let's see what. Like I had to

443
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 3: write an op ed recently and I was like, okay,

444
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 3: I was to carve out two hours, and you know

445
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 3: it was closer to like eight.

446
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: Writing an op ed in two hours maybe for the

447
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: New York Post two hours. That feels that is a

448
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: that is a horrible perspective on time.

449
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 3: I also don't don't factor in how much time that

450
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 3: I used to just sort of hem and haw and

451
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 3: get out sit down.

452
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 2: That's two hours alone, just cling around the computer screen,

453
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 2: just dilly dalling and so but wait, so when you

454
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 2: wrote this op ed piece, did you sit down and

455
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: just write for eight hours?

456
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 3: No? It was very it was like what we're saying,

457
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 3: where I thought about it, and then I opened a document.

458
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 3: Then I answered some emails that I went to bed. Yeah,

459
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: it's never it's never clean.

460
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 2: Uh has the op ed been published yet?

461
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 3: No, that's the thing. It's not even a guarantee. The

462
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 3: editor I wrote it for was like, unfortunately, we can't

463
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 3: guarantee we will publish it until we read the draft.

464
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 2: I hope this is where you reveal it was just

465
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 2: a let to the editor. You spent eight hours writing

466
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: a letter to the editor, just full of misspellings.

467
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: And then it was about that I that I don't

468
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 3: like their process of submission.

469
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 2: Wow, so this, Uh, who knows? What? Can you even

470
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: talk about the op ed or is that against the

471
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: rules here?

472
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, I because I assume by the time

473
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: this comes out, it will either have made the cut

474
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 3: or or not. On the floor.

475
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: You occasionally will write an op ed for various things.

476
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know if I'm allowed to say

477
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 3: what it's for, But it's for like, you know, one

478
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 3: of these digital uh opinion factories?

479
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: You wrote a BuzzFeed or list. Yeah, it's a quiz list.

480
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: And there were It's like, which, uh, which Harry Potter

481
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 3: House are you most likely to quarantine?

482
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: If that isn't fun already, I don't know what's happened

483
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: to the internet. That's a beautiful list. Oh wow, so

484
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: you're bad at judging time. I feel like I actually

485
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: have an excellent internal clock.

486
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 3: Really.

487
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know where it came from. I don't

488
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 2: know how much longer it's gonna last, but I really

489
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 2: think your set.

490
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: If you have it, you have it. It's not going away.

491
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. As I slowly lose my mind

492
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 2: and just fall apart physically, I feel like it's got

493
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: It'll be one of the things that goes away. But

494
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: for now I really cherish it.

495
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 3: So how do you feel like it kind of kicks

496
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 3: in and keeps you on track?

497
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 2: It actually has very few personal benefits, let's be honest.

498
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 2: I mean outside of someone occasionally asking me do you

499
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: know what time it is? And I can just guess

500
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: and tell them, which doesn't Why not? Why don't. I

501
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: just look at my watch or my phone or But

502
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: it is little boost of self confidence when I'm able

503
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 2: to say, you know, it's twelve twenty five, and then

504
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: I look at my watch, Oh it's twelve thirty. But

505
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: so I'm five minutes off right now here here, I

506
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: am trying to show boat and I'm five minutes off.

507
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 3: It's a hard though.

508
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 2: It is. Absolutely people gather around scream. Bridger tell us

509
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 2: the time. That's why. The only reason I could invite

510
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 2: it to anything anymore.

511
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 3: Well, I can't imagine how much of a hit that is.

512
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: A New Year's Eve, everyone turns off Ryan Seacrest and

513
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: they turned to me, and I camped down, starting at

514
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: about ten thirty, I count for an hour and a

515
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: half and then the party's over and I've lost all

516
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: of my friends.

517
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 3: But no, you're just Jamie Lee Curtis some time.

518
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I am very punctual, and I'm proud

519
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: of that.

520
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 3: Proud I am. I'm ashamed to not be a punctual person.

521
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Your benefit is that you never

522
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 2: expect to be on time to anything. So when you're

523
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: not on time to something, it's not a big deal.

524
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 3: For you.

525
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: When I'm not on time to something, I'm having a meltdown. Okay,

526
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I'm I feel ashamed. I feel like

527
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: the one thing that I'm good at has fallen by

528
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: the wayside. I've failed everyone and it's devastating. So you

529
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: but when you're on time to something, I bet you're

530
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: on top of the world.

531
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 3: See here's the here's a fun bad new about me.

532
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: I am also having a meltdown when I'm not on time.

533
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 3: So I'm just constantly having meltdowns because I'm never on time.

534
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 2: You're just a slow moving lava flow at all times.

535
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 3: Because I think, yeah, yeah, because I think I'm I'm like,

536
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm going to become this on time person.

537
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 3: Tomorrow is going to be a new day. And then

538
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: I'm not again, and it's like little horror repeats. It's

539
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: a groundhout day situation.

540
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: What's getting in the way. Is it like, oh, I

541
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: need to find something to wear, I forgot to eat breakfast,

542
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 2: I've got to do these things or is it just

543
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: like you're forgetting It really.

544
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 3: Is like every time I agree to do something, I

545
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: suddenly maybe a half an hour before I have to

546
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: do it, or even get ready to go leave for it.

547
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 3: I get this huge wall of resistance of like, why

548
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 3: did I ever agree to do anything in my life?

549
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you and I have scheduled multiple times to

550
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: hang out. I don't remember the last time I saw

551
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: you in person. No, actually I do remember the last

552
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: time I saw you in person, but it was because

553
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: I ran into you outside of a restaurant in Los Angeles. Yes,

554
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: this is yesterday. We were both headed in maskless. We

555
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: were no, and again I have to be very clear,

556
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: that's not a real thing. We're careful people.

557
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: Maybe over a year ago.

558
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: This was certainly over. I mean at this point you

559
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 2: can definitely say it was over a year ago, because

560
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: it's almost been a year since anyone was doing anything.

561
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 3: That's true.

562
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was over a year ago. I

563
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: think you were with Joe Firestone. I think I was

564
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: with Matt Incabrets and nobody gives a shit, but yeah,

565
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: that was the last time I.

566
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: Saw These are a few easter eggs for the hardcore band.

567
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 2: You've got to look up these names. You've got to

568
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: put the pieces together, create a little collage on your

569
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: computer to look at and imagine this situation. Yeah, this

570
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: is all wild because you were on Corporate and I

571
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: wrote on Corporate, but I still didn't even see you

572
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: on that.

573
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: I know. I think we saw each other at maybe

574
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: like a party related to Corporate.

575
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: Maybe, Oh, I mean, who knows when that would have

576
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: even been. But the other strange aspect of this is

577
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: me writing on Corporate, Like every day I'm going into

578
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 2: work and thinking about Aparna, oh yeah, and thinking about

579
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: what can Aparna do on this television?

580
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 3: And then when I'm shooting Corporate, you know, I put

581
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 3: up a wall of writers and I like a true

582
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 3: crime detective, I try to solve who wrote what joke?

583
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 2: Well, and then you have that lockett with my picture

584
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: in it. Yes, so it's that you refuse to take

585
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: off even while shooting. So yes, became a costume problem,

586
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: but we just kind of wrote it into the show

587
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: and that really made the series. But what was my

588
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 2: point here even oh?

589
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 3: Just that, yeah, that we've made many plans to almost

590
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 3: that have never come to a fruition. But I'm honestly

591
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: a surprise that I ever followed through on anything, based

592
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 3: on just the waves of emotion that go through me

593
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: through from when I first commit to it to when

594
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 3: it actually happens. It's just a real roller coaster.

595
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 2: I'm happy to commit to something, I'm happy to live

596
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: the life of thinking it's going to happen, and then,

597
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 2: like fifteen minutes before, if it's a social thing, I'm

598
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: just like, why did I plan? I would much rather

599
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 2: just continue to do the thing I do every single night,

600
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: which is watched television.

601
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: But then here's the thing, how do you feel after

602
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: you do the social thing.

603
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: I'm on top of the word.

604
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

605
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: I mean unless it's somebody that I remember, Oh there's

606
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: a reason I don't. I only see this person once

607
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 2: a year, but that's I've pretty much gotten rid of

608
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 2: most of those people at this point. A social thing,

609
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: I'm having a fantastic time I get, you know, I mean,

610
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: especially now, we took these things for granted. No sitting

611
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: across a table at a restaurant with a friend and

612
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: talking about all the people we don't enjoy. Oh, golden

613
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: moments are.

614
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: Most are the times, right, but we need back in

615
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 3: our lives.

616
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 2: Going to a movie with a friend that one I

617
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: actually there's maybe one or two friends that I love

618
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: doing that with. Otherwise I'm like, why didn't I just

619
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 2: do this? Alone.

620
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I am also a fan of watching movies

621
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: by myself. But sometimes it's wonderful. Yeah, but sometimes people

622
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 3: seem to think it's odd or I don't know.

623
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: I think I may have even spoken about this on

624
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: this podcast before, But I love you get to go

625
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: to the movie at the exact time you want to go. Yes,

626
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 2: after the movie, you don't have to tell anyone your

627
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,479
Speaker 2: opinion about the movie. There's no what was your favorite part,

628
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: It's just you get to think about the movie.

629
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you don't have to agree or disagree with

630
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 3: someone else's opinion. Really, some of the most stressed out

631
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,439
Speaker 3: I've been in movie theaters is when the movie's about

632
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: to start. I'm jostling around in my seat trying to

633
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 3: see where Susie, you know, Salmon is coming.

634
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 2: In your dear friend.

635
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's saved up, and I'm trying to save seats

636
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 3: with the coat. It's not even winter.

637
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: Oh and you're in New York, which is still shockingly

638
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: a lot of the seats are not reserved.

639
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 3: Reserve Oh yeah, assigned.

640
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, get with the program. New York City,

641
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: how are you? I mean, one of the biggest cities

642
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 2: on the planet and still people or fighting over movies.

643
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 3: Movie seats.

644
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 2: What's happening there?

645
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 3: We know we have a few infrastructure problems.

646
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 2: Now this is shocking to me. You painting yourself as

647
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: the first person to be at the movie. I know.

648
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 3: Why did I do that? Oh? I know because all

649
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 3: of my I run late, my friends run late, so

650
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 3: sometimes I'm still less late than the other person.

651
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: I'm just going to make a public record right now,

652
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 2: I will never see a movie with you because that

653
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: I want to be at the movie before the trailers begin.

654
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 2: I need to see every single trailer. I need to

655
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: be there probably a good half hour before it. Are

656
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: you wanting to be relaxed?

657
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 3: Bo? Are you worried about? What are you going to

658
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 3: do for that half hour?

659
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to look at my phone like I do

660
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 2: in every other venue. Who cares?

661
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 3: Then you have to do all those movie quizzes.

662
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I love the movie quizzes, the coke movie quizzes

663
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 2: that are just the most obvious answers in the world.

664
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: They make me feel a little bit like I know something.

665
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: I go into the movie with full confidence, feeling like

666
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: an intelligent person despite being like who is the star

667
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 2: of Ghostbusters? Or whatever?

668
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 3: You're a movie pre movie question. Have you ever been

669
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 3: at a movie trailers come up? One of the trailers

670
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 3: catches your eye, then you spend the whole movie wishing

671
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 3: you were watching that other movie you saw.

672
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good question. I don't think I can

673
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: say that I have because I feel like most trailers

674
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 2: the movies are yet to be released, but I will

675
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: think I will think about, oh, I can't wait to

676
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 2: see that movie, right? Have you? Do you have a

677
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 2: particular one you can remember?

678
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 3: You know I said this hypothetical and you would think

679
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 3: I had one ready to go, but I truly did.

680
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: I love imagining you sitting through every movie just wishing

681
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 2: you were out seeing Uh, okay, well do you have

682
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 2: an example?

683
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: Actually, because a lot of times they'll they'll preview a

684
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 3: holiday movie, like you know, earlier, either in the summer

685
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 3: or in the fall, and then I'll be, you know,

686
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 3: sitting down to watch whatever Steve's zoo, and then I'll

687
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 3: see this preview the holiday movie and then I'll be like,

688
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 3: I wish it was the holidays. I can't wait for

689
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 3: the holidays. And then I'm totally not in this zoo mindset.

690
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: Suddenly you're thinking about Christmas either bells, jingling or whatever.

691
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 2: Do you know what what will distract me while watching

692
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 2: a movie is if I see a food that looks enjoyable.

693
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: Suddenly I'm just thinking about that food and why I

694
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: haven't had that food recently, And then I'm starving and

695
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: You've got to keep the movie. Keep the good looking

696
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 2: food for the end of the movie. Yes, otherwise I'm

697
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 2: not going to be thinking about this story you've written.

698
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, I feel like when ever there's food on screen,

699
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 3: you're really you're really playing a gamble. Even if you

700
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 3: got a list actors, you know, it's not our for

701
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: a good piece of cake to just steal. Focused.

702
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 2: Absolutely, are you doing anything for the holidays?

703
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess in the way that any of

704
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 3: us are doing anything right now. I'm not going anywhere

705
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 3: right but we might buy a tree. That's a huge

706
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: development around here.

707
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: A tree is a huge, huge development in any home,

708
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: and it's every year I'm I need to just write

709
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 2: down how much I spent on the tree this year,

710
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 2: because every time I go back to the tree farm

711
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 2: or wherever, what is it a tree lot, I guess

712
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 2: that's what you would call it, And I'm floored every

713
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 2: time by how much you have to pay for a

714
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: Christmas tree? How much is a plan that will die?

715
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 3: I've never had a real one.

716
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: They're like, I think this year we paid a ninety

717
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 2: five dollars, which was very low compared to what we

718
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: had seen. We went to one lot and it was like,

719
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: this tree is one hundred and eighty dollars, which just

720
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 2: to me seems absurd for a thing that's just going,

721
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 2: which is essentially like a fire hazard and help. You're

722
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: paying nearly two hundred dollars to maybe start your house

723
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: on fire. So I feel like they float around one

724
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: hundred dollars, which I don't know. Is that a lot

725
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 2: of money or not? I don't am. I also a

726
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 2: lot of my psychosis centers around money and saving money yea,

727
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: and so I don't know that. Maybe people are like,

728
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 2: who cares, it's one hundred dollars, but for me, that

729
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 2: seems shocking.

730
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that seems like a that seems like that's double digits.

731
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 3: What do you call one hundred dollars triple?

732
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: That's a triple digit I'm making a triple digit salary. Yeah,

733
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 2: it's one hundred dollars. Seems like a lot to me.

734
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 2: I feel like a Christmas tree should be sixty five dollars.

735
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 2: That feels like a Christmas a good.

736
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 3: Price because it's not insignificant, but it's not gonna break

737
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 3: break your bank? Is that the.

738
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 2: I broke the bank with a Christmas tree?

739
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 3: But you're right, especially something that you know you're gonna throw.

740
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 2: Out, right, that's the thing to me, Like, I have

741
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 2: a hard time spending money on things that I know

742
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: are going to last me ten years. No, So I

743
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 2: don't know, do you have a Christmas tree place in mind?

744
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: Or are you just gonna go blindly into the city

745
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 2: and buy the first tree you see?

746
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. We didn't even talk through where we're

747
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 3: going to get this tree from, so I don't even

748
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 3: know if we're talking real orficial.

749
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 2: Okay, I think artificial go artificial.

750
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 3: Well, then we can just reuse it every year, right.

751
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 2: Do you have a place to store it? No, Well,

752
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: then you'll just leave it up here round.

753
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 3: I don't know. Does anyone in New York have a

754
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 3: place to store anything.

755
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: Right in New York? I just don't know that. I mean,

756
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: maybe they're the artificial tree technology has advanced to a

757
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: place so that they're very storable.

758
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, Like it compacts down right.

759
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 2: I think a Christmas tree should come out like an umbrella. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

760
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 2: pop it open.

761
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 3: Yep, and then you can take it like a yeah,

762
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 3: like an umbrella, and umbrella feels like the right.

763
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 2: Comparison, right, And you should be able to hang it

764
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: in your closet like an umbrella. You should be able

765
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: to leave it in the back of a cab like

766
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 2: an umbrella.

767
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 3: Whatever, tree all over the city.

768
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: I forgot my tree at the bar? Are you two

769
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 2: getting each other presence? Is that something you do?

770
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,479
Speaker 3: We do? But we also, I don't know, we got

771
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 3: we adopted kittens, like a few months ago.

772
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 2: This is a huge revelation of the podcasts about it.

773
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 3: Sooner, I guess I was like, I don't want to

774
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 3: turn into one of those people just can't stop talking

775
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 3: about theirs are children.

776
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 2: Well now you've done it, Well.

777
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 3: Now I've done it. But I think we were like,

778
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 3: that's sort of our big financial investment this year. So right,

779
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 3: maybe we don't need to get each other full amounts

780
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 3: of presents, but I think we'll still get each other

781
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 3: thing little thing.

782
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, do you have anything in mind for him?

783
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 2: Or is it or is this hush.

784
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 3: Hush, I already bought some stuff.

785
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 2: Oh, you're kidding me. You're a you are a very

786
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 2: good partner. I haven't bought my boyfriend anything yet.

787
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 3: Well here's here's the true, sad truth, is that I

788
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 3: have an online shopping problem and I'm always findings all

789
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 3: the time, no matter the occasion or season, including word clocks.

790
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 2: Okay, well do you can? You will it spoil it

791
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 2: for him if you say something you've bought.

792
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 3: Or well, one thing I bought is just like a sweater.

793
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: Oh that's a great, nice sweater. Where did you get it?

794
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: I could buy my boyfriend. I'm gonna call. I'm gonna

795
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: write down what you're getting your partner, and I will

796
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 2: write down I bought.

797
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 3: It this UK company called lazy Oath.

798
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 2: You lazy Oath. That sounds like a nice sweater. Actually,

799
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 2: that sounds like it's probably a very comfortable sweater. He

800
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 2: doesn't want to be a lazy oaf in a sweater.

801
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:24,760
Speaker 3: I'm not clear what age group they are actually marketing towards,

802
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 3: but I am I am a customer.

803
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: How did you find them?

804
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 3: This is such a weird uh answer, But I guess

805
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 3: on Great British bakeoff the Noel Fielding sometimes wears sweaters.

806
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 2: Oh, he has good sweaters. Yeah, he has a really

807
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 2: fun collection of clothing altogether.

808
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 3: So they're are very like quirky companies. But I'm clear

809
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 3: if they're marketing towards teams or adults.

810
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 2: Well, Noel Fielding is probably in his Yeah.

811
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: He's probably an adult, but he dresses young.

812
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: He has a childlike sense of wonder that he shares

813
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 2: with us, and so I think you're probably in a

814
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: good position. Does your did the sweater you buy have

815
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 2: any sort of particular design on it or what's the deal?

816
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like an Argyle cardigan sort of.

817
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 2: Oh I love this. Yeah, Okay, I'm going to look

818
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: up this company and probably not buy something for my boyfriend,

819
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 2: end up buying something for myself and continue to be

820
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 2: a bad partner.

821
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 3: What are you? What are What is your gift buying process?

822
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 3: If I can inquire, it's it's largely joyless.

823
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: It's essentially trying to locate things they need, trying to

824
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 2: improve their life, which can be difficult because most adults

825
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 2: buy the things they need exactly.

826
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

827
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 2: So, but I want to a gift to improve someone's

828
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 2: life in some way, but I need to let go

829
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 2: of that a little bit. And like, I'm trying to

830
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 2: think of my sister's birthdays this month. I need to

831
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 2: get her a Christmas present. I need to think of

832
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 2: something that she'll just enjoy, something a little more frivolous.

833
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 2: You know, I want her life to be largely improved.

834
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 2: But I've just got to I've got to take a

835
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 2: breath and just buy something fun.

836
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I also think you're trying to improve someone's life.

837
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 3: It's like the expectations are way.

838
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,280
Speaker 2: Too high, way too high, and then if it doesn't

839
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 2: improve their life, you just feel like a loser. I know,

840
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 2: it's like, just buy him some nice clothes. Then I

841
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 2: don't know.

842
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 3: And some people seem easier to shop for than others

843
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 3: because I don't know, because there they collect spoons or

844
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 3: something quirky where we're like, oh, I'll just get them

845
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 3: another spoon, right, But then other people, Oh, they're just

846
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 3: blank slates. You don't know what they want, and they

847
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 3: don't seem like they want anything.

848
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 2: Yes, this actually reminds me. I looked at my watch

849
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 2: to see what day it was, because friend's birthday is

850
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 2: coming up and he does have a specific interest, which

851
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 2: I latched onto about two months to go and thought, oh,

852
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 2: I know what to get him. It was so easy.

853
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: I'll buy him a couple of these things he's interested

854
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: in and then maybe a book, and suddenly it feels

855
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 2: like a personal gift, but it's really I'm just exploiting

856
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 2: the one interest that he tells people about.

857
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. The only danger I feel like if you were

858
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 3: going to have an interest like that is like what

859
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 3: if you just stand up with a house full of

860
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 3: spoon Because the same gift.

861
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 2: That feels like a is that like a monkey paw

862
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: wish or something. It's like it just ends up being

863
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: a curse. But look, there are worse things to have

864
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 2: than countless spoons.

865
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 3: That's true. The spoons are actually a useful thing to collect.

866
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 2: Right. Do you have specific interests that people can exploit

867
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 2: for gift giving?

868
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 3: I love books, so I feel like that's a real

869
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 3: safe one because everyone can buy you a book.

870
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: But here's the thing with books. Do you have like

871
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 2: a particular type of book you like?

872
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 3: Like, well, I love fiction and so you know anything

873
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 3: like the new hot uh, Donna Tart or whatever?

874
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 2: Right? Right, but what was the last Donna Tarte book?

875
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 3: I think it was the Goldfinch that.

876
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:13,959
Speaker 2: Was Yeah, that's about nine years ago.

877
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 3: That's her thing, though. She's a recluse and she she

878
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 3: she only right releases it when it's ready.

879
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 2: She comes out swinging.

880
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

881
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, books are a good one. Although, and this is

882
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: something that I probably have said a million times on

883
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 2: this podcast. If it's not a good book, it's just

884
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 2: a painful piece of homework.

885
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 3: It's true, are you a completest? Like if you're reading

886
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 3: something you don't like it, if you stop or can you.

887
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 2: I'm slowly slowly learning that if I'm halfway through the

888
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 2: book and I have not enjoyed myself for a second,

889
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 2: I can probably stop reading it. But this is a

890
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: very recent development in my life. I'm I'm finishing every

891
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 2: book I'm opening, and often to my own detriment, where

892
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 2: it's just like hurting my life. I'm not learning anything,

893
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 2: it's not bringing me any joy. It's just like why

894
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 2: am I doing this?

895
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 3: That's me too, I don't know why. I think I

896
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 3: get too involved in the author's feelings, and I'm like, well,

897
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 3: they put all this time into this, the least I

898
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 3: can do is finish it.

899
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: They spend at least two hours writing this, and no.

900
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 2: I with finishing a book, I think there's always maybe

901
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 2: there's just a dumb hope in my brain. Yes, finishing

902
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 2: it will be like, oh, this all came together and

903
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: now I'm happy I did it. Yet that never, almost

904
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 2: never happens. There's no key that unlocks my joy at

905
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 2: the end of the book. It's just, Oh, I just

906
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 2: wasted a week reading yep, I don't know. What. Is

907
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 2: there anything you've read recently that you enjoyed?

908
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 3: Yes? What was it? I just read this book. I've

909
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 3: been reading so much lately that all the books kind

910
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 3: of blend together, which I don't think is what authors

911
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 3: want to hear. But but what did I read? Oh?

912
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 3: I read this book of essays by Zady Smith that

913
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 3: she wrote during Quarantine. So it's a little bit of

914
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 3: a kick in the pants, but it's also very good.

915
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll have to look that up. I think i'm

916
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 2: a little I'm not quite ready for Quarantine material yet.

917
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 2: That's maybe in a few years I can take a

918
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 2: dive back into this slog of a year and relive it.

919
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 2: But right now I just I need some level of escape.

920
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I've been also reading this children's book

921
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 3: series that I really like that. What is it called

922
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 3: the Mysterious Benedict Society.

923
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 2: I've heard of this, Oh, I've heard people really enjoy this.

924
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fun. It's just it's the same genre as

925
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 3: Harry Potter of like kids who are a little some

926
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 3: of them are orphans, but they're kind of misfits, and

927
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 3: they go on adventures and they all have talents.

928
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: This sounds lovely. Yeah, this hit I think that sort

929
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 2: of thing hits the spot for just about any Yeah,

930
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 2: and it's we all want to be children that don't

931
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 2: want to be discover something magic exactly Mysterious Benedict Society. Okay,

932
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 2: well a part of Yes, enough about books, enough about time.

933
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 2: I want to play a game with you.

934
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 3: Okay, do you.

935
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 2: Want to play a game called Gift or a Curse?

936
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 2: Or do you want to play a game called Gift Master.

937
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 3: I'll say Gift or a Curse?

938
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I need a number between one and ten from you.

939
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 3: Should I say it out loud?

940
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 2: Yes?

941
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 3: Okay, four?

942
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: Okay. I need to do some calculating for the next

943
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 2: minute or so. You have the microphone. You can recommend something,

944
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 2: promote something, do whatever you want, share a recipe. I

945
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 2: don't care. I'll be right back all right.

946
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 3: I'm going to share a recipe that I made recently.

947
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 3: And I'm not a very proficient cook. So when I

948
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 3: say that anyone can make this, I really mean anyone.

949
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 3: And that sounds like I'm selling a credit, but I

950
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 3: really mean that I trust you can make this. It

951
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 3: is a recipe called Callflower, Cashew and pee Curry from

952
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 3: the New York Times website. I'm happy to include the

953
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 3: link in the show notes if Bridger will let me

954
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,720
Speaker 3: do that, but I don't know if that's something within

955
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 3: my purview. But I guarantee you this recipe. As long

956
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 3: as you have most of the ingredients, you don't even

957
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 3: need all of them. That's a secret that you should

958
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 3: know about most recipes. You don't need all of the ingredients.

959
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 3: There's a couple of days just throw in there to

960
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 3: show off, and it's up to you to figure out

961
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 3: which they are. So that's my big plug, Callflower Curry.

962
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 3: I clearly can't remember a single book I've read, so

963
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 3: I can't recommend any more of those. But yeah, a.

964
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 2: Part an excellent use of the time. I may have

965
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 2: given you too much time. I get lost in these

966
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 2: lists and I'm sorry, no, I hate to leave somebody

967
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 2: just floating, but well, you do what you can do.

968
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 3: I really just wanted to not, you know, lead your

969
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 3: listeners astray.

970
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I really appreciate that. Okay, let me

971
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 2: tell you about the game Gift or a Curse. I'm

972
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 2: going to tell you three things. You're going to tell

973
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 2: me if there are a gift or a curse and why? Okay,

974
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 2: there are. I have to be very clear, there are

975
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 2: correct answers. So you can fail this game and it

976
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 2: will be shameful, So just be careful.

977
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 3: Okay, all right. That sounds like life number one.

978
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 2: And now this is the other part of the game

979
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 2: that becomes difficult for me personally because I lose all

980
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 2: of the information. Oh, gift or a curse. This is

981
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 2: from a listener named Casey. Casey has suggested gift or

982
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 2: a curse wooden biodegradable utensils.

983
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 3: Would in biodegradable utensils, I'm going to say that's a

984
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 3: gift because you can reuse them. But then when you're

985
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 3: tired of reusing them, you can just bury them and

986
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 3: move on with your life because they will biodegrade and

987
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 3: you don't have to feel the guilt of, you know,

988
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 3: poisons being leached into the worms.

989
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 2: A part of you got it right?

990
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 3: Oh?

991
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 2: I think that I love a wooden biodegrade A. I

992
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 2: love they remind me of those little wooden spoons that

993
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 2: come with that crappy ice cream.

994
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, just the little paddle.

995
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 2: It's barely it is kind of like a hamster's paddle,

996
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: like kayak paddle or something. I love that feeling on

997
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 2: my teeth. I see nothing wrong with these, No, I mean,

998
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 2: what's the downside? Maybe a splinter?

999
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the one thing I was like, is

1000
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 3: there ever a possibility of splintering if you bite too hard?

1001
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 3: But it's I've never seen it happen.

1002
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 2: So right, And I think you'd have to be really

1003
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 2: going to town on your food in order for that

1004
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,439
Speaker 2: to break in your mouth and then stick into your

1005
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 2: teak gums or something.

1006
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. That sounds like you just need a remedial course

1007
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 3: in how to use utensils, biting box respoons in general.

1008
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 2: Okay, excellent work there. Let's move on to the second one.

1009
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 2: Let's see here, and again I'm struggling. It's this podcast

1010
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 2: is largely just about hearing me struggle through the things

1011
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 2: that other people have an easy time doing. Relatable gift

1012
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 2: or a curse. I'm just going to say gift or

1013
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 2: a curse over and over until I find it. Okay, Oh,

1014
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 2: gift or a curse of This is an interesting one.

1015
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:51,760
Speaker 2: People telling you their dreams.

1016
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 3: Oh, people telling you their dreams. This one feels tricky

1017
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 3: because there's you know, it's such a common assumption that

1018
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 3: there's nothing worse than people telling you their dreams. And

1019
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 3: I'm assuming these are your night dreams, not yours.

1020
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 2: Yes, tell I suppose telling you about.

1021
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 3: The dreams they've had, the dreams they've had.

1022
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 2: So although telling you their dreams for life is all,

1023
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 2: I should add that to the list as well.

1024
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a separate I feel like a lot of

1025
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 3: lift drivers in l A doing this. Yeah. So, I

1026
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 3: feel like the common assumption would be that it's a curse.

1027
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 3: But I'm trying to see if there's any silver linings

1028
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 3: I can think of for people telling you their dreams.

1029
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 3: I mean, there is the occasional perk up when it's

1030
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 3: like you were in my dream last night, which kind

1031
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 3: of helps give you an idea of how this person

1032
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 3: maybe contextualizes you in their brain. But I'm still going

1033
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 3: to say it's a curse because I think the person

1034
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 3: is asking you for back on something that feels very internal,

1035
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 3: and it feels like a real subconscious you had to

1036
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 3: be there.

1037
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: A part of I appreciate the reasoning you've put behind this.

1038
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 2: Unfortunately I knew it you you should have gone with

1039
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:28,399
Speaker 2: your initial I think I've really come around on this,

1040
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 2: to be honest, I used to be so unbelievably bored

1041
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 2: when people would start telling me their dreams. Right, I

1042
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 2: really appreciate it. I know, I think you know it

1043
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 2: can't I mean, you do need to edit. People need

1044
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 2: to like, let's get the dream into a few sentences.

1045
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 2: We don't need a half hour description of what the

1046
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 2: dream was. But it's a fun little imagine everything. You

1047
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 2: get to see what's happening happening in their brain. I

1048
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 2: don't see I think we need to as a society,

1049
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 2: except that it's kind of fun to hear people strength.

1050
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm I'm going to fully drop what I was

1051
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 3: pushing before and say I agree with you, And I

1052
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 3: also just think, why did they ever? Why did it

1053
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 3: ever become a thing that we thought was unpleasant?

1054
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 2: Right? I feel like there was like this wave where

1055
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 2: we all felt that where it was like, don't keep

1056
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 2: that information to yourself. Yeah, you're boring me. Maybe if

1057
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 2: it's the only thing you talk about, maybe that's a

1058
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 2: terrible thing to do. Right, But occasionally, if somebody tells

1059
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 2: me something they dreamed about, it's going to last two minutes.

1060
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,919
Speaker 2: I get to hear some sort of wild story and

1061
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 2: maybe it'll give me a new perspective on this person's thinking.

1062
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if anything, you don't have to you know,

1063
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 3: even if something horrible happened in the dream, you don't

1064
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 3: have to have, you know, have an actual series of

1065
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 3: correct reactions, because none of it actually happened.

1066
00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 2: Right. I will say this, if the person starts taking personally,

1067
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 2: that's when we get in some weird territory. You've just

1068
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 2: given me a bunch of absolutely fully removed from logic,

1069
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 2: and I should be able to, like you said, I

1070
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 2: should be able to comment. However, I wish you mean like.

1071
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 3: The thing of like someone's mad at you because of

1072
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 3: something you did in your dream.

1073
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 2: Well, if somebody tells me I had a dream that

1074
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, I fell in a river and what

1075
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 2: have you? And I say, well, it sounds like you

1076
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 2: deserved falling in a river, and then they're mad at me. Well,

1077
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 2: who cares. You've just told me a fictional tale that

1078
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 2: your brain did in a fever. Right, So just remove

1079
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 2: the personal Your brain wrote a little story that you

1080
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 2: told me, and I'll tell you whatever I want to

1081
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 2: tell you about it.

1082
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really it really breaks open the possibilities of conversation.

1083
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 2: Right right. Okay, Well, I mean you did you did

1084
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 2: fail that one, but I do appreciate you at least

1085
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 2: admitting and coming back to your true self. Yeah.

1086
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 3: I think it just goes back to something I should remember,

1087
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 3: which is that you got to listen to your gut.

1088
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 3: Thing is my thing is second guessing my gut and

1089
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 3: it's not serving me right.

1090
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 2: But now you've learned publicly, and you'll never do it again. Okay.

1091
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 2: Final one, This is another listener suggestion. Someone named Sonia

1092
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 2: has written in and suggested gift or a curse? Restaurant

1093
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 2: leftovers wrapped in aluminum foil to look like a swan?

1094
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 2: Is that a gift or a curse?

1095
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 3: Okay? Point of order, I have only ever seen this

1096
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 3: in movies and never have experienced this. The swan that

1097
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:42,479
Speaker 3: is supposedly making the rounds and the restaurants circuit. I've

1098
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 3: never seen one of these swans. I get it in

1099
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 3: that little plastic bag with the smiley face that says

1100
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 3: thank you. Sometimes, if they're really springing for trumpets, they'll

1101
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 3: have the paper bag with the restaurant logo on it.

1102
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 3: But where's this swan. I've never seen this swan in

1103
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 3: my life.

1104
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 2: Well, then I need you. I don't care if you've

1105
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 2: seen it one way or the other. I need you

1106
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 2: to tell me if it's a gift or a curse.

1107
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I think just because it is essentially at

1108
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 3: this point, my white whale of dining, I'm going to

1109
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 3: say it would be a gift because I've never achieved

1110
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 3: it and it's all I want.

1111
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 2: Now. You'll feel like you've really made it if you

1112
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:28,959
Speaker 2: get some a little bit of steak.

1113
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 3: I think Charlie's Golden ticket.

1114
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 2: A part of the swan made from aluminum foil that's

1115
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 2: wrapped around some lukewarm mashed potatoes is a curse. You

1116
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 2: have failed. It's a curse for a lot of these

1117
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 2: same reasons. I don't know that I've ever seen it,

1118
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 2: but I'm haunted by the impossibility.

1119
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 3: Okay, because my next question was going to be is

1120
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 3: their food in the swan's neck?

1121
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 2: Oh, that's interesting. That feels disgusting to me for some reason.

1122
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 2: It's fine when it's in the the the belly of

1123
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 2: the swan, but when we get up into the neck

1124
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 2: and mouth area there's food in there, it somedly feels

1125
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 2: like it's actually part of a swan. Well, that's why.

1126
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 3: I needed to get one, so I could do some

1127
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 3: quick surgery and just get to the bottom of it.

1128
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 2: I don't even know. I couldn't even guess at a

1129
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 2: restaurant that might be doing this. I imagine like a

1130
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 2: fancy steakhouse or something.

1131
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it must be one of these Ruth I was

1132
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 3: going to say, Ruth bader Ginsburg.

1133
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 2: That's not Ruth bader Ginsburg, Chris Steakhouse. The swan is

1134
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 2: kind of adjacent to the balloon animal, yes, which also

1135
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 2: kind of an unnecessary part of life. But I have

1136
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 2: had a balloon animal. I don't know. I think it's

1137
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 2: a curse, and I think that you've unfortunately, you've bombed

1138
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 2: the day. I just want out of three.

1139
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 3: Come on, really, I really got to step back and

1140
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 3: reevaluate objects.

1141
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 2: I think absolutely. Look, this is a little unconventional. Usually

1142
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 2: would go right to another part of the podcast, but

1143
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 2: I do want to I wanted to ask you about

1144
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 2: your cats. I want to know their names, I want

1145
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 2: to know what they look like, tell me anything you want.

1146
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 2: Just we could talk about this briefly, but I do

1147
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 2: love that you have cats.

1148
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 3: Yees. So I well you should know I've never owned

1149
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 3: cats before, didn't grow up with cats, So this is

1150
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 3: first time cat owner. My boyfriend has had cats. So

1151
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 3: they were coming into a home with one person fully

1152
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 3: not knowing anything about cats. The other person and their

1153
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 3: two sister kittens. They were bonded and they came together.

1154
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 3: And one is named Zazie and she's a calico and

1155
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 3: then Nanny is a tortoise.

1156
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 2: Show Oh this that's a great combination.

1157
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're very cute. One of many. Her big thing

1158
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 3: is she doesn't have any bones. She's just like a

1159
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 3: long She's essentially just like a balloon animal.

1160
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 2: It's just a pile of fur on the floor.

1161
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Like she really the way she moves her body

1162
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 3: and like sleeps like it doesn't seem like she has bones.

1163
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 2: Wow. Initially I thought that was a real cat medical condition. God,

1164
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 2: bless bones in this boneless cat no bones.

1165
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 3: And then Zazi's thing is she's obsessed with food in

1166
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 3: a way, in an unhealthy way.

1167
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 2: Are you so as a as someone who didn't previously

1168
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 2: own cats? Are you enjoying your time with them?

1169
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? I just learned the other day that curiosity killed

1170
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 3: the cat. I didn't even understand that that is a

1171
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 3: cat specific expression. I just thought it was like alliteration.

1172
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 2: Have there been any challenges, Well, like right when.

1173
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 3: We got them, probably within a week or two, Nanny

1174
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 3: turned on the stove in like two.

1175
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 2: A, Oh my god, that's curiosity killed the kettle.

1176
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we had to get child safety knobs.

1177
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 2: How did you find out that the stove was on?

1178
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 3: My boyfriend has like a lot of insomnia, so luckily

1179
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 3: he was up and he heard like the clicking noise

1180
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 3: of like when it's trying to light.

1181
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 2: I love the cat just being like I'm out of here,

1182
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm burning this place down.

1183
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 3: The good son mcaulay culkin.

1184
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 2: It totally is Elijah Wood is just watching McCaulay turn

1185
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 2: on the gas.

1186
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, because she's also like the more innocent while like

1187
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 3: she's like gentler and the icy naughty one. But then

1188
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 3: this one's turning on the stove in the middle of

1189
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 3: the night.

1190
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 2: That's wild. Oh well, I'm excited for you. I'm very

1191
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 2: happy that you've brought these little cats into your life. Yes,

1192
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 2: I'm so excited that I'm willing to just derail the

1193
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 2: podcasts and talk about it. I don't care. I mean,

1194
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:08,919
Speaker 2: it is my show.

1195
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: I'll do it.

1196
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 3: I want show.

1197
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 2: Okay, this is the next segment of the show. We

1198
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 2: have to answer some questions from listeners. This is called

1199
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 2: I said no questions people right into I said no

1200
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 2: gifts at gmail dot com. They're desperate. That's all you

1201
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 2: need to know. Okay, let me read this first one.

1202
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 2: It says deer Bridger and Wise guests. So this person

1203
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 2: has assumed you're whise. I feel like you've got a

1204
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 2: quiet wisdom.

1205
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 3: But they weren't around for that last game.

1206
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 2: That's true. Well, let's just just play the part. My

1207
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 2: sister is getting married this year in Arizona. I'm the

1208
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 2: maid of honor, but I'm unable to attend because I

1209
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 2: live in Canada. Another obvious reason for not attending is

1210
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 2: this pandemic. But she doesn't think doesn't seem to think

1211
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 2: these are valid reasons. Anyway, what do you recommend as

1212
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 2: a gift that shows love and support to an important

1213
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 2: event you are unable to attend. That's from Liz. Wow,

1214
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 2: sounds like she's her sister is a little out of control.

1215
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 2: The sister is not only hosting a wedding in the

1216
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 2: middle of a pandemic, she's making kind of a fuss

1217
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 2: about people showing up.

1218
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 3: Right, that's hard. I mean it's already hard if you

1219
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 3: have like a destination wedding or something to expect time.

1220
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you like a destination wedding?

1221
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever gone. No, wait, I have

1222
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 3: gone to one. I went to one that was at

1223
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 3: a cabin in Vermont.

1224
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a little I I'm sorry, but if I'm

1225
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 2: going to go on a vacation, I want it to

1226
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 2: be my vacation, not your special day. Don't do that.

1227
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 3: It's forcing someone to go on a vacation that you've

1228
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 3: customized to be your vacation that works for you, assuming

1229
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 3: that they would love the exact same thing.

1230
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 2: Yes, it's emotional terrorism, and it feels like they're just

1231
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 2: putting you in a spot where there's nothing you can do,

1232
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 2: and they're putting the relationship on the line, and suddenly

1233
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 2: you're spending thousands of dollars to go be at a

1234
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 2: mediocre party.

1235
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 3: I will say, this is the wedding I went to

1236
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 3: in Vermont. I had to come from a comedy gig,

1237
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 3: so I had to come late. And Okay, basically it

1238
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 3: involved me, some poor teenager in a golf cart having

1239
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 3: to show for me straight to the wedding ceremony.

1240
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 2: We cannot start until a parta is here. I hope

1241
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 2: you were officiating.

1242
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 3: I wasn't. I was just standing in the bag.

1243
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 2: Well, okay, so the sister, she's flying around Arizona, she's

1244
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 2: doing whatever she wants. She's demanding her sisters show up. Yes,

1245
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 2: but Liz is going to stick in Canada. She has

1246
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 2: to get her a gift and it needs to show

1247
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 2: her some level of support.

1248
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 3: This is but you get people for a wedding gift

1249
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 3: that they're not telling you to get them because I

1250
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 3: always thought there's a registry.

1251
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 2: Right, But I guess as a sister, like as a

1252
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 2: family member, there's like some expectation that you will know

1253
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 2: even more, right. But I'm sorry, I don't like that.

1254
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of the sister. So I'm

1255
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 2: having a hard time giving her.

1256
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 3: Anything and getting her something supportive, no.

1257
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 2: Less, right, I mean, maybe send a box of masks

1258
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 2: for everyone who's there. I feel like any anything I

1259
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 2: would suggest would just damage the relationship, right.

1260
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 3: I was thinking, also, because she's in Canada and the

1261
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 3: sisters in Arizona, which are two completely different climates, get

1262
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 3: her something Canada specific, since you probably can't get that

1263
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 3: where she is. But I don't know if that's what

1264
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 3: you want for your wedding.

1265
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 2: Send her a goose down jacket and phoenix.

1266
01:08:55,720 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, a maple leaf jersey.

1267
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 2: I mean, actually, in this situation, the mean sister, let's

1268
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 2: call her the mean sister, is kind of making a demand.

1269
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 2: So if I were the good sister our friend Liz,

1270
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 2: I would start making demands of my own. I'd say,

1271
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 2: for your wedding, I want to be a remote DJ.

1272
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 2: I want to be on a screen, and I want

1273
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,679
Speaker 2: to play all of the music. Suddenly you're in control

1274
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 2: of the wedding.

1275
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that could be her gift.

1276
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 2: Right, that's the gift, and the sister cannot complain, and

1277
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 2: you're kind of present, and it's just kind of a

1278
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 2: tit for tat No one ends up that happy.

1279
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 3: I think that's a great solution, and she could, you know,

1280
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 3: put in that aura of support by saying, I will

1281
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 3: let you pick up to five songs.

1282
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 2: In the four hours. I will give you fifteen minutes

1283
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 2: of your favorite songs. The rest of it will just

1284
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 2: be noise, sheer, ambient noise. I feel like that these

1285
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 2: are all excellent options.

1286
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 3: Giving yourself a way to participate in the wedding too,

1287
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 3: so that really checks off all.

1288
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 2: The boxes, or just give her the card hold card

1289
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 2: hold am I saying that hard, cold, hard, cold is

1290
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to say. Card ordered, cold hard advice

1291
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 2: to wait for the pandemic to end, Yeah, and then

1292
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 2: have the wedding. I'll show up. I'll get you a

1293
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 2: wonderful gift, whatever you want.

1294
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 3: A lot of people really trying to just get to

1295
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 3: that next lifestep during the.

1296
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 2: You've got a beautiful excuse here, just use it. Yeah,

1297
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're not going to use this as

1298
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 2: an excuse, then nothing is ever going to stop you

1299
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 2: from doing anything. And there's something you need to set

1300
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 2: up some boundaries for yourself personally, because it's too much,

1301
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 2: too much. Okay, let's answer one more this Well, you're

1302
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 2: getting some good adjectives hybridger and esteemed guests. So there

1303
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 2: we go, wise and esteemed. That's a parna. That's the

1304
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 2: Aparna promise, this person says. And this is probably gonna

1305
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 2: get to this guy too late. My group of friends

1306
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 2: and I have decided to take part in a Secret

1307
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 2: Santa gift exchange. This year. Many of us have had

1308
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 2: to move out of New York, so this gift exchange

1309
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 2: is happening through the mail I drew my friend Jared.

1310
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 2: Hello to Jared. Jared is an engineer of some sort.

1311
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 2: None of us actually know, but I think he works

1312
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 2: on lasers for medical equipment. Okay, he loves comedy, he

1313
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 2: does acro yoga, and he's the only one of our

1314
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 2: friends with a car in the city. He is the

1315
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 2: nicest guy, but I'm stumped on what to get him.

1316
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 2: What should I get him? That's from Chandler, I guess

1317
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 2: in New York or maybe not in New York. Hard

1318
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 2: to tell at this point for the secret Secret Santa,

1319
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 2: which we've kind of given away because hopefully Jared is

1320
01:11:56,640 --> 01:12:00,719
Speaker 2: also a listener, but let's be honest, he's not. What

1321
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 2: is he getting Jared? This person likes comedy and works

1322
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 2: on lasers or something. And what's acro yoga.

1323
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 3: That's what immediately popped for me.

1324
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:16,640
Speaker 2: Acro yoga is that like you're an acrobat, but you're stretching.

1325
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 3: I think so. I assumed it's like aerial yoga, like yoga,

1326
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:22,719
Speaker 3: but you're suspended.

1327
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 2: Right things right. That makes sense to me, and that,

1328
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 2: to me is the gift area that I think we

1329
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 2: should focus on.

1330
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,719
Speaker 3: That's what I was going to say, because that's its

1331
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 3: to the circus.

1332
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:41,719
Speaker 2: Oh, Circus Sole, a DVD of Circus Sole with an

1333
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 2: accompanying mug right, maybe fill his home with the scent

1334
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 2: of cigarettes to give it the Vegas experience.

1335
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1336
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 2: That feels like a I mean, just right off the bat,

1337
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:56,600
Speaker 2: we've got a personal gift. It's an experience. It's a

1338
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 2: DVD or.

1339
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 3: Maybe DVD with accompanying down track. Maybe he could play

1340
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 3: in his.

1341
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 2: Oh not or while he's doing acro yo. I wonder

1342
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 2: if this person is able to do acro yoga during

1343
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 2: the pandemic. I mean you have to have a decent

1344
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 2: sized space to be flying around or whatever.

1345
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like some kind of place that you could

1346
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 3: uh straddle a hook in your ceiling, which in New

1347
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 3: York just seems difficult.

1348
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 2: Right, I mean unless this Jared who maybe he is

1349
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 2: super I mean.

1350
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,639
Speaker 3: If he's scared of from Diamonds, then.

1351
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 2: He's always going to say Jared of Ivanka. Oh maybe

1352
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 2: this is Jared Kushner and we know that he's a

1353
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 2: mess of a person and kind of a weasel. Uh,

1354
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 2: that person doesn't deserve a gift, don't also.

1355
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,599
Speaker 3: Kind of a nice guy? By this?

1356
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 2: Right? This person's if he's defending Jared Kushner here, then

1357
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 2: there's something wrong with Chandler. But let's assume this is

1358
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 2: not Jared of the Kushner fortune. This is Jared of

1359
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 2: the Diamond's fortune. He's got a huge warehouse space that

1360
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 2: he's flying around in doing his yoga. Yeah, how about

1361
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 2: a nice pair of stretch pants.

1362
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you're not doing acro yoga and jeans.

1363
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 2: No, no, no, Although I'd love to see a full

1364
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 2: denim outfit doing acro yoga.

1365
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's happening in Vegas for sure.

1366
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 2: The all denim circuit desole. I feel like, yeah, some

1367
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 2: sort of equipment or clothing, a unit tart, a leotard,

1368
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 2: something he can be doing this exercise in comfortably, stylishly

1369
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 2: and safely.

1370
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:50,759
Speaker 3: Yes, I think no one, no one who does yoga

1371
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 3: is gonna, you know, throw a nice pair of yoga

1372
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 3: pants out of the bed.

1373
01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 2: No, they're gonna slide right into them. Yeah, and they're

1374
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 2: headed down to the warehouse to start jumping over the

1375
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 2: net or what have you? Have you ever done any

1376
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 2: sort of acrobatic exercise?

1377
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 3: Oh though, I shot this show Space Force on Netflix

1378
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 3: that came out recently, and we had to do wire.

1379
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 2: Work because they're still work.

1380
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,360
Speaker 3: We're supposed to be on the moon, which is definitely

1381
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 3: the first time I had ever done anything like that.

1382
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 2: Oh you're kidding. Yeah, was it enjoyable or were you

1383
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:29,879
Speaker 2: like in a harness that was painful?

1384
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 3: You're in a harness and it does get a little

1385
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:35,560
Speaker 3: painful after a while, just because it's really just squeezing

1386
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 3: you like a bottle of mayonnaise and all of your

1387
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 3: parts that are contained in the harness. But right, other

1388
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 3: than that, it's it's cool to kind of have someone

1389
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,639
Speaker 3: else carrying your weight, Like when you jump, there's someone

1390
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 3: like pulling on a harness, so they're kind of holding

1391
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 3: you up.

1392
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 2: Oh that sounds delightful. Yeah, how long were you in

1393
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 2: the harness form.

1394
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 3: I mean at the moment it was like in terms

1395
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 3: of time, probably just like an hour or two, because

1396
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 3: then it just starts to get painful.

1397
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 2: And did you get pretty high off the ground or

1398
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:11,560
Speaker 2: was it more like you know, moon gravity jumps.

1399
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 3: The actual stuff we shot was more just like moon

1400
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 3: gravity jumps, But we got to do a few like

1401
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 3: scenes where we were just playing around more and then

1402
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 3: we got to go up maybe like I don't know, ten,

1403
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 3: ten or fifteen feet.

1404
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 2: Oh that sounds delightful. Yeah, okay, so you have essentially

1405
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 2: done acro yoga.

1406
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 3: I guess I've done akro yoga in a way.

1407
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 2: You're an acro yoga freak. Okay, Chandler, take all of

1408
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 2: that information, put it in a blender, and suddenly Jared

1409
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 2: has the Secret centa gift of a lifetime, and if

1410
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,719
Speaker 2: he doesn't enjoy it, he can take his diamond fortune

1411
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:49,799
Speaker 2: and do whatever he wants.

1412
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 3: I also love that he was like, we don't know

1413
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,759
Speaker 3: him that well, but then he said like several helpful

1414
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 3: things forget right.

1415
01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:58,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that this whole friend group the

1416
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 2: gift they need to give jar It is find out

1417
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 2: what he's doing for a job because he probably wants

1418
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,040
Speaker 2: he probably wants people to know what he's doing, and

1419
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 2: they're like, he's an engineer and he does lasers. Find

1420
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 2: out what he's lasering. At the very least, is he

1421
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 2: lasering eyes faces? Yeah, I don't know, Jared Chandler, good luck.

1422
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. I hope you have the happiest of

1423
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 2: holiday seasons, Aparna. I am thrilled about this. I mean,

1425
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 2: on them.

1426
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. I do see that you have.

1427
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 2: Moved in here recently, and this room does not have

1428
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,240

Speaker 2: be this beautiful word clock just reminding me that our

1430
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:48,360

1434
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,599

1435
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:04,519
