1
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself

2
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you

3
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests,

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: your presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff,

5
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: So how do you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm pretcher. Whyne girl,

7
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: We're right into it. I'm just feeling incredible. I got

8
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: here later than usual. I absolutely took the wrong freeway

9
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: to get here. In my defense, it was raining. It's raining,

10
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: and I was worrying about Claire Danes. We need to

11
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: put Claire Danes in something where she's not stressed out.

12
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: I just finished the beast inside me. I want to

13
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: see Claire Danes in a TV show or a movie

14
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: where she goes on vacation, just goes on, maybe even

15
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: a staycation. Maybe she just wakes up later than usual,

16
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: tools around the house, goes to a lunch that's nice,

17
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: but you know, not so expensive that it stresses her out.

18
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. It goes to a boutique, doesn't just browse.

19
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: Maybe she splurges on a new bracelet or a watch

20
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: or something. No, not a watch is too stressful. Just

21
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: a nice little gift for herself. That's it once where

22
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: she's not trembling, and I love the trembling. I just

23
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: it's every time I watch a Claire Danes vehicle, I'm

24
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: stressed for her. So let's give her a break. Claire

25
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: reach out. So that took me onto the one thirty

26
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: four I was supposed to get on the five. That

27
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: added some time to my commute, and so that leads

28
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: us to me talking to Claire Danes directly. I think

29
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: that's all I've thought about this morning, to be honest,

30
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: the show had a big impact on me. She went

31
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: through a lot in the beasts in me, and we

32
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: should talk about I guess the other thing is the Patreon.

33
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: Of course. I just need to remind you about the

34
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: Patreon existing Patreon dot com slash I said no gifts

35
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: upon the release of this episode. I think we'll just

36
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: be starting season four of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,

37
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: and I'll be getting into it with the gals. I

38
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: am the expert on the gals, and it looks like

39
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: it's going to be a very big season. Things are

40
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: falling apart again for mom Talk, and so we wish

41
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: them all the best get on to Patreon. I also

42
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: recap every commercial I see while watching that show, so

43
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: if you're more of someone who cares about commercials, you'll

44
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: also get to hear me talk about neutrophile and all

45
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: of these hair care journeys people are going on. It's important.

46
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: Get over there. Oh the rain, it's gotten me into

47
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: a mood. Let's get into the podcast. I love today's guest.

48
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: It's Stephanie Courtney. Stephanie, welcome to I said no gift.

49
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: Hello, I'm thrilled to be here.

50
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: Does the rain stress you out while you're driving? Yes?

51
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: And then I'm always like everyone else has the problem,

52
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: and then I do something dumb and I'm like, ah, crap.

53
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: It's me. I think I finally admitted to myself today

54
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: that I am also as bad as everybody else in

55
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: the rain.

56
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: I'm always like, be very careful, and then i do

57
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: the most rash, idiotic move. I'm just like, I'm a patron.

58
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: I gotta get there. Yeah, I mean I literally took

59
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: the wrong freeway. I am as bad, if not worse

60
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: than most people on the road while driving in the rain.

61
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: Are you from California?

62
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: No, I'm from New York. Just outside and you're like

63
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: thirty minutes outside of New York City and the staburbs.

64
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: Okay, so you grew up driving in the snow or

65
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: this kind of thing and actual weather.

66
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I feel I had to. I lived in

67
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: New York for six years and happily didn't.

68
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: Drive at all. Right, and then I.

69
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 3: Was like kicking and screaming getting used to driving again,

70
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 3: right in the worst cars that Craigslist or the back

71
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: of the LA Weekly could cough up.

72
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: I just I don't know what inspired this, but somebody

73
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 2: got me thinking about a car I had sold on

74
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: Craigslist when I moved. I was in New York for

75
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: a little bit in twenty the mid It doesn't matter

76
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: what time period. I sold my car, my old Honda

77
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: Fit and I was like, where is it now? And

78
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: I looked up the VIN number and founded it's made

79
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: its way to New Jersey. Oh they've painted it orange.

80
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: Oh what. I was thrilled to see it was still

81
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: alive for a business or for fun. I don't know,

82
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: that's a great question, but it looks it's in better

83
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: condition than when I sold it to them.

84
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: I love it.

85
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: I sold it to them with a big crack in

86
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: the windshield and absolutely filthy. They've taken good care of it.

87
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: I still see my Hyundai, I think out there because

88
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: I was like, there's a dent by the gas gap,

89
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: and I'm like, there's a white.

90
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: With a dent by the gas I'm like, hello, old pal,

91
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: just longing for this Hyundai. It probably is.

92
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 3: Who knows it's passed by a few. Yeah. We sold

93
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: it to a friend very good price, and then he

94
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: sold it and now I'm like, no, no, Now it's on

95
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: its own adventure.

96
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's own journey.

97
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: It's going to be a Pixar movie. It's gonna win awards.

98
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: Specifically hyundaive oriented Pixarnday.

99
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: With a tape deck, enjoy it.

100
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: Does your car now have a tape deck or a

101
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: CD player or anything?

102
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: No, now it's all Wi Fi cloud right.

103
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: I kind of miss having at least a CD player. Uh.

104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: I feel like that could be useful at some point

105
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: for me.

106
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: My sister one of the awful cars she bought had

107
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: a CD player in the back, like where you would

108
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 3: put ten CDs.

109
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: I forgot about the and it would shuffle the songs. Ooh,

110
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: the CD change.

111
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: Yes, it was just like David Gray David Gray, David Gray,

112
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: Alanis Morissett and like it was a lot of difficult

113
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: I just remember like this a lot.

114
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the CD changer seems like such a luxurious thing

115
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: for a minute, but then it's like, actually, that's terrible.

116
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: You have to really think about what ten ten CDs

117
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: you're going to put in there. I'm very fickle and picky.

118
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: I want to be changing things constantly. What if you're

119
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: suddenly not in the mood and the other nine CDs

120
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: in there aren't what you need.

121
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 3: If you are coming in crying, I'm like, I need

122
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: I need a better song. I have to cater, I

123
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: have to get.

124
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: My brain here. How often were people like going, you

125
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: have to go to the trunk, Yeah, and then replace

126
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: all of the CD That actually seems like the worst

127
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: possible piece of technology.

128
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: And forget about putting your suitcase back there. Oh of course,

129
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: because you're going to destroy on whatever.

130
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you don't want any liquid. I'm not going

131
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: to be throwing a gallon of milk back there or

132
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: any loose liquids. You don't want that getting destroyed.

133
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: Now, it's just like a very sensitive area, right.

134
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: You can't like carry soil. There's nothing you can do

135
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: with that trunk but put CDs in there. Oh what

136
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: a bizarre I had totally forgotten. But what a luxury

137
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: at the time it was to have CDs in your trunk.

138
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe I had a tape deck with a

139
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: wire like I had the wire.

140
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: Oh of course they went to your CD.

141
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well no, it was an adapter. But all I

142
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: could do was the cassette. So I was just like, well,

143
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: I'm listening to high school in early college. I guess

144
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: just the Sundays and all the Sundays.

145
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: Oh, I adore this. Why we need more the Sundays,

146
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: not enough Sunday's materials?

147
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,559
Speaker 3: I agree. I agree that was a perfect album.

148
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: What was it?

149
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: Reading?

150
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: A reading, writing arithmetic? I think so the one? Does that?

151
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: Is that? The one with the seashell on the front? Yes? Yes,

152
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: And then there's one. I think there may have only

153
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: been two Sundays albums. Is that?

154
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: Yes?

155
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: But I never caught onto the second one. I guess

156
00:07:59,320 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: the first one was.

157
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: Just so if the second one is that the second

158
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: one have that's where the story ends? Is that or something?

159
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: I think that's the first one. God, Oh, what a

160
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: great banand.

161
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: Beautiful moody rainy day.

162
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: Well, hey, yeah, this is a good Sunday's Day. Yes,

163
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: and I kind of a hard band to kind of replicate.

164
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: So I feel like whatever influence they have, you don't

165
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: notice as much in other stuff. Right.

166
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was sort of its own what would you

167
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: call it?

168
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 2: It's kind of jangly, but her voice is.

169
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 3: So ethereal yeah, so pretty. It could hit notes that

170
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: like nobody.

171
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: Can do it, unbelievable. No, I feel like there was

172
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: a do you know the band Japanese Breakfast, Yes, her

173
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: first I think her first album had a little Sunday's

174
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: ness to it. But wow, what a great band. You've

175
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: got a good taste.

176
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 3: Well, thank you. I was, you know, and I listened

177
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: to your Wennie mcclennan Covey interview, which I loved.

178
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: I loved. I love her, Okay, so you don't.

179
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: No, No, I am falling in love with you and

180
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: I'm already in love with her. But we get into

181
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: such deep dives on missing persons. Oh and we actually

182
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 3: went and saw missing person. She listen, the band sounds

183
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 3: the same, the same, and she's wonderful. She's lived a life,

184
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: She's lived a hard life.

185
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: What's happened? I'm not familiar.

186
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: Well, I know Wendy knows more, and I feel like

187
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 3: I'm stealing her stories. But I think, uh, first of all,

188
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: we shook hands, Wenny and I did. We're gonna do

189
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 3: a documentary on Dale Bozio.

190
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: Oh amazing.

191
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: We have to do it because her story is so interesting.

192
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: I guess she moved out here originally to be a playboy.

193
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: Bunny checked out. The situation is like, no, never mind,

194
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: never mind, and then joins up the I'm skipping over

195
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: a lot of important details that will be in the documentary,

196
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: but uh, just we would just sing the deep cuts

197
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: to each other on set of the Gold like.

198
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: Great, before you make that documentary, just promise me that

199
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: you'll first make a documentary about the Beatles. We don't

200
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 2: have enough of those. I don't think we've covered that band.

201
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: Just a specific six months, just one that they Oh

202
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: my god, I know, No.

203
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 2: That's a great More bands deserve documentary.

204
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 3: Especially if they made such a hit like The Sundays

205
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 3: and Missing Persons like no one sounded like you.

206
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: And there are stories that we haven't heard a billion

207
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: times already.

208
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: Yes, women, musicians, singers.

209
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of any female fronted bands that

210
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 2: have had great documentaries, not.

211
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: Even Pat Benattar.

212
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I'm like, let's see. I mean I also

213
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: have a bad memory, so this is part of the problem.

214
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: But what was the last band that I I don't know?

215
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: How about this? Dione Faris remember wild Seed wall Flower?

216
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: No, I'm not familiar.

217
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: Holy moly, it's another perfect album. She's from another band

218
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 3: and I'm an old lady with an adult brain, but

219
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 3: she was like a kid in this previous band and

220
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: then this was her.

221
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: I know what just do? Oh? Yeah, of course, of course.

222
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: That album is amazing. David Allan Greer also joins in

223
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: and does like they do some skits in between that

224
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: are so amazing. Anyway, just wild Seed Wildflower.

225
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 2: And there's not a documentary.

226
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 3: About Nope, but that's my next one. My child's gonna

227
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: have to work early because his money's God.

228
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,119
Speaker 2: You just dump all of your money into music documentary.

229
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 3: I'm sorry you still love mother, but look.

230
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: At all of these bands you can learn about. Are

231
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: you a musician at all?

232
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: I'm a singer. I love to sing, and I took

233
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: piano lessons and then I quit in a snit after three.

234
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: Years, three years.

235
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was bad.

236
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: I was just bad. Was it as a kid? Yeah?

237
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: I was a kid.

238
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 3: And as soon as it was like this is we're

239
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: going to center on cords, I'm like, no one can

240
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: do this, no id and then I quit.

241
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: Wow. I mean I was bad, and that didn't stop

242
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: me from taking ten years of lissense in piano. Piano?

243
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: Are you good?

244
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 3: You can you? Oh?

245
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: I can form chords.

246
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: But someone framed it really well. They were like, are

247
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: you a codebreaker? And my son loves piano and has

248
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: stuck with it and he is a code breaker brain

249
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: and is like, are you good at languages?

250
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: He's good at languages. Interesting, I kind of ain't.

251
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 3: And so yeah, it's that kind of I understand.

252
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 2: There's like kind of a math brainness to it. Maybe, Yeah,

253
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: that makes sense, which is kind of counterintuitive because you

254
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: kind of think of music as this very emotional yes, uh,

255
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: free flowing thing.

256
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 3: But that's the thing, it's the both sides of the

257
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: brain coming together.

258
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: Right, So it really requires somebody smart. Yeah, someone like

259
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 2: me is going to struggle, No, really have a hard time.

260
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 3: Like other people do that for me And I put

261
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 3: it in my CD player, press shuffle.

262
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I think part of my problem with piano

263
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 2: lessons was I wasn't getting to play anything that I

264
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: actually wanted to play. There was no like nothing to

265
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: aspire to. Yeah, and so I'm sitting there with like

266
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: my eighty year old teacher who's like making it as

267
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: boring as possible. It's like if you, I feel like

268
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: with a kid, you just show them something that's fun

269
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 2: to play and then allowed them to do something. I

270
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: don't know.

271
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know. I think that also helped because

272
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: a few years after taking his first lesson, him and

273
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 3: his friends got a band together.

274
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: Oh see, here we go.

275
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 3: One of the dads can play every instrument, and so

276
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: he pared down seven Nation Army for them. Oh how fun,

277
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 3: and they're rocked out and they were so great. I

278
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 3: remember my piano teacher. One thing that drove me crazy

279
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: is that she would always be cooking dinner when I

280
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 3: came over, and it smelled really good and like it

281
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: was because it's clear, it was like a balanced meal,

282
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 3: and I'm just like.

283
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: Oh god, I want that so bad. That's that's pot ROAs.

284
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: It's so unprofessional of her, damn it. I know. I

285
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: was just like, I don't even get to eat that.

286
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: That's very handsle on Gretel as well, very witch with

287
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: the yes.

288
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: It's like, dope, you don't get to.

289
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: My whole trick during piano lessons was I would ask

290
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: for a glass of water and then take as long

291
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: as possible drinking the water. So fifteen minutes of my

292
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: lesson would just be me like sipping a glass of

293
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: water and then maybe being like, oh, could you show

294
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: me because she had a garden in her backyard. Why

295
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: don't you show me the garden.

296
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: They always have a garden.

297
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: They always have a garden.

298
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they always have interests.

299
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you bastards.

300
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: My son's piano teacher is amazing because she's just a character, Like,

301
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: my son's a little on the shire side.

302
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: How did you find a teacher for him?

303
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: She teaches at the school, so he already trusted her.

304
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: She's fun, and she's loud and just like doesn't care,

305
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: you know, and so and I don't know. I think

306
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 3: that just she provides that kind of passion. And then

307
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: he's got the map and then like they.

308
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: Right, I'm starting to wonder how my mom had my

309
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: piano teacher. She wasn't in our neighborhood or anything. She

310
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: was neighborhoods away church. Maybe it was it must have

311
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: been somebody church, a panlod or something like that. Yeah,

312
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: that makes sense because otherwise you had no connection to

313
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: missus Ziegler. Interesting. What's happening? Very interesting? But the other

314
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: thing with my mom, like we would kick and scream

315
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: off the entire way to the piano list if I mean,

316
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: I guess God bless my mom for putting up with it,

317
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: because if I was the parent in this situation, I

318
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: would have just given up and said, okay, just lie

319
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: around on the floor.

320
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: I yeah, me too. I was waiting for it. I

321
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: was just like, oh, right, the three year mark and

322
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: then I'm like, wait, you get this? You understand this interesting?

323
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: Do you think he's going to have some sort of

324
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: career in it? I?

325
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: I think here's what I want to do. And this

326
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: is how they sat in first grade. When he was

327
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: in first grade. They were like, don't worry about your

328
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: child being the best reader of the earliest reader. As

329
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: long as they enjoy reading. I want him to enjoy it, right,

330
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 3: and if that means playing around with friends, amen, he

331
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: still enjoys learning because it's like a challenge, that's great, right,

332
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 3: but I think he's gonna I think it'll be a

333
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 3: tool in his tool belt.

334
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: I'll say that right for him. Yeah, I think that's

335
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: having You can't have music beat the number one thing

336
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: at this point anyway.

337
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess.

338
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, tough path to follow as far as making money, yea,

339
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: yeah at fourteen.

340
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on the way mom's spending.

341
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: On these documentaries. He's got to get into a band

342
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: that you'll make a documentary about.

343
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: Oh, we'll finally have something to talk about, me and him.

344
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: Have you been to any other concerts recently?

345
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: Let me think we saw David Byrne when he was

346
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: That was amazing.

347
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: Did you see No, I didn't. I've never seen him live.

348
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: It feels like a mistake on my part.

349
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: Oh, enjoy him the next time he comes around. He's

350
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 3: got like we saw him when he did Utopia, which

351
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: was fantastic, and you always think like, oh, this is

352
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 3: his crowning jewel or whatever, and now he has a

353
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: whole slew of other young you know, in strumentalist musicians

354
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: is another. Sometimes they say I haven't heard it too old,

355
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 3: and they were amazing a whole new shown.

356
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: He was very good at staying with it. Oh my gosh,

357
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: everyone should look to David Byrne for his like if

358
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 2: you don't want to seem like an extremely old person. Yes,

359
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: because he still seems like he's in his thirties.

360
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 3: Yes, he has discovered it.

361
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: And I guess part of it is riding his bike

362
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: all the time. Yes, won't do it. I won't do it.

363
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: Not in La. Are you kidding that?

364
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: Now?

365
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't imagine.

366
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: Do you imagine Clardine's on a bike? Could that be

367
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 3: an next show? Put her on a bike in La

368
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: in the country trembling loop. Oh, she's wonderful. She's a

369
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 3: master at the craft shew.

370
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: She's so good, but she's always stressed out.

371
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be funny. I was thinking like an

372
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 3: episode where like the therapist is like, it wasn't your fault,

373
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 3: You're off the hook, and then that's like halfway through

374
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: and then she's like.

375
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: A free right, a free because the last three things

376
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: I've seen her in were The Beast in Me, which

377
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: she's so stressed out. To see that, it's really great,

378
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: it's really exciting.

379
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 3: I love him too.

380
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's fantastic. Matthew Reese have you ever heard his accent?

381
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 3: No, it's Welsh, right.

382
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to look up an interview with him

383
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: because I'm curious what he sounds like when he's not

384
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: doing an American accent.

385
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 3: I can't imagine.

386
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he's got an excellent American accent.

387
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 3: Well, we've got great actors coming out of Hoyle's. Who

388
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: is who's the oh gosh, the one who is in

389
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 3: the the Kinsey Show, that Kinsey show.

390
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: Let me see here, let's see. I'm willing to do

391
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: some online research show. I know I'm not good enough

392
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: research Masters of Sex. Masters of Sex is what it's called,

393
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: and it's what's her name? And and what's his name?

394
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: And his name is Michael Sheen Michael. He's Welsh, also

395
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: from Wales as well.

396
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: Wow, I know we've.

397
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 2: Got some you would never know. It's a crucible. Great.

398
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: Maybe the Welsh accent is not that thick and yeah,

399
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: maybe it's like a neutral, more of a neutral thing.

400
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: I feel like that frequently with Irish accents, sometimes you

401
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: can almost mistake that for an American. That's right, there's

402
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 2: certain and then sometimes you hear an Irish accent and

403
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: you're like, I that's another language.

404
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. I there's a show called Love hate. I don't

405
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: know if you've ever heard of it, but it's fantastic.

406
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 3: It's about like a drug gang in Ireland and one

407
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 3: guy is from Limerick and I can't understand one word

408
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 3: and he's incredible, and you just need the subtitles. But

409
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 3: it's like a backwards It's like every vowel is something else.

410
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: Right. There are a lot of these British shows that

411
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: I tried to power through without subtitles. What a mistake. Nah, man,

412
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: we're too far. Oh yeah, there will be once where

413
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 2: I just like, I'll give up because I don't understand

414
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: what's going on. I finally have committed to using well

415
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: subtitles on almost everything at this point, but especially with

416
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: these thick accents, because otherwise it's you're watching him show

417
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 2: in a foreign language.

418
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

419
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that how British people field watching American shows?

420
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 3: Whenever they do an impression of us, not like professionally,

421
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: I mean like when they try to echo what we

422
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 3: sound like. It's flat and bland and.

423
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: It must be easier to understand. Yeah, because we're slower.

424
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 2: We're slower. We really like stretch the words out. Yeah,

425
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: maybe Southern is a different story. I've never since.

426
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 3: Had an English or Irish person ever asked me to

427
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 3: repeat anything.

428
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, they get it. I assume

429
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: that it's just because they don't care about what I'm saying,

430
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: no interest in what I have to say.

431
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 3: It all like, hey, guys, clean up your own mask

432
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 3: before you tell me anything.

433
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I've seen Claire in this. I saw her

434
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: in Fleischmann Is in Trouble, which was great, that's great,

435
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: also very stressed, and then Homeland where it was like

436
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: a new age of her.

437
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: Being stress during this stress character, it's just on the edge.

438
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was like, wow, full panic all the time,

439
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: and you buy it because there's a bomb about to

440
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: go on, yeah, which is great, but you start to

441
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: worry about her mental health.

442
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: Or off and her drug use in that show.

443
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, she went through it and pills. And

444
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 2: then she's got Mandy nearby, who's such a comforting source

445
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: of you know, I would love to have Mandy as

446
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: a teammate, said Everyone's grandpa. But yeah, I think it's

447
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: time for just one show or movie. Yeah, it's even

448
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: just an eighty minute long movie where she has a

449
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 2: nice time.

450
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, is there a like a novel from the

451
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 3: late eighteen hundreds, where it's like gardening, yes, discovering yourself

452
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 3: through the growth of your hyacinth. We're all growing credits.

453
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: Just once, even if it's a bomb, it'll just be

454
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: a nice break for Yeah, a wonderful time. Well, speaking

455
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: of things that are stressful and make me my lip tremble, Stephanie,

463
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: First of all, it was a garbage bag, and I thought, okay,

464
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 2: so she brought her garbage. But then I noticed through

465
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 2: the bag a beautifully wrapped gift.

466
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: I respect you, but I also need to live with myself.

467
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: And I was raised a certain way, okay, And I

468
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 3: did put it in a trash bag to take the

469
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: shine off it, to get it past the guards. Yes, exactly,

470
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 3: your guards they are they hold a lot of authority here,

471
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 3: Yes they do. I put the usual amount of effort

472
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 3: in nothing extra, and it might not even be for you.

473
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 3: You know what, Now, don't put me on the back,

474
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,879

477
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: All right, you've got time to burn. Well, I put

478
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 2: it on the floor earlier, if you wouldn't mind picking

479
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 2: it up for me. I don't mind that. I do

481
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 2: I mean, no offense to past guests. I think this

482
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: is my favorite wrapping paper that's ever been on the show.

483
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 2: It's like a woodprint. Yes, it's like uh and it

484
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: feels almost like a texture of wood.

485
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

486
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,960

487
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: it back in good time. And it also has a

488
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: monarch butterfly and this beautiful green ribbon.

489
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: Yes. If you twist the top half of that butterfly. Yeah,

490
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 3: then and then you let it go, it'll fly away

491
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: or fall dead.

492
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,520

00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: You twist the top?

496
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,840

502
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: thing that's about to happen. Hopefully.

503
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put my glasses on again because I don't.

504

Speaker 2: I'm so nervous. There you do it.

514
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: I think the point is you put it in a card,

515
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,239
Speaker 3: all twist it up.

516
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,280

517
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 3: Exactly, and they open the card and then it's like this, Oh,

518
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 3: so you can use this.

519
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: Again, startling butterfly. I'm gonna do it one more time

520
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 2: because I know the listener loves a quiet, twisting noise.

521
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: Let's do as tight as possible here. It's gonna be dangerous.

522
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: This could blind somebody.

523
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 3: I'm a risk taker.

524
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: Okay, that was beautiful. That was the best. I love

525
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: this thing.

526
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: You know.

527
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 3: I catered a wedding once, uh, and they had lab

528
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: grown butterflies inside envelopes like folded paper, and they're like,

529
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 3: just pass here's a basket. I'm in my tuxedo to

530
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 3: the guests, pass them out and tell them be gentle.

531
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 3: But everyone's coming at once and they're like thanks, and

532
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, got be gentle. And then they were

533
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: like when they say I do, open your thing, and it.

534
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,600

Speaker 2: Tested that before. Clearly that wasn't going to work.

541
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: No one cared, no one asked a question, passed the

542
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 3: first question, can it be done? And then there's a

543
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: lab that will do it for you.

544
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:05,080

Speaker 3: And oh my god, this is so cute.

592
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 2: Where did these come from? I don't know.

593
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 3: Somewhere a week that I skip therapy, I went on birds,

594
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 3: birds and paper.

595
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 2: There's now this, there's this kind of crimped paper. And yeah,

596
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: they've got a nest. I'm creating a nest on my

597
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: table again. The listener is loving this to me, just crafting,

598
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: taking a hard turn to me crafting. Okay, make sure

599
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: I've got all the birds. Okay, now we're pulling out. Okay, now.

600
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 3: With an explanation, are you ready?

601
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: Yes, I absolutely. Let me describe what I'm seeing. This

602
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: is a little wood box that's like kind of what color?

603
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: Would you say? This is cherry cherry and it has

604
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: it's like a little treasure chest with a switch on

605
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: the top.

606
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I would like for you to set it on

607
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: the table, and I say, carefully, all right, this is

608
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: called a useless box. What did you call me? I'm joking.

609
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 3: It's called a useless box. And if you keep your

610
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 3: fingers away from the top, but just move the lever, okay, right,

611
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 3: So like maybe I'm scared, hold it from the other

612
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 3: hold it from the lever side.

613
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: Let's see here exactly.

614
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 3: And then just with your other finger, just flick the lever.

615
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: I'm so scared, and so a little.

616
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: Finger by what by flicking the lever, a finger comes

617
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: out and pushes it back. Oh so it's completely useless.

618
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: What where did you get this thing?

619
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 3: My husband found it somewhere and it is the funniest thing.

620
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: It's none of your business.

621
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 3: Box, that's right, that's right, And it's called the useless box.

622
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 3: And it will never let you see what's inside because

623
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: it's not on your biz listener.

624
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: It's almost kind of hard to describe. It's like I

625
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: hold the box and it has a little the lever

626
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: is like one of those little switches that it's like

627
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: a little old timy like old timey switch and when

628
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: you push it, let's see you might be able to

629
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: hear this. The box slightly opens and a little finger

630
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: comes out and pushes your finger away. I want to

631
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: do this for the rest of my life.

632
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 3: It's so quick, Yes, it is fright, and it's a

633
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: little more delicate than you would imagine.

634
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: So we're like on our third Oh do they fall

635
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: apart pretty quickly? Just you know, treat it well. It's

636
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 2: a whole I mean, it's a device.

637
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 3: It's a whole device for no reason, just to be

638
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, just to tell you to mind your biz.

639
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: This is a funny invention because it's the sort of

640
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: thing that like, conceptually no box exists like this that

641
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: you would be like, oh, yeah, there's the little thing.

642
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: I know, I'll push this and get what's inside. It's

643
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: like the trick is unlike anything you've experienced before, and

644
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: it's quick.

645
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: It's so much faster than you would It doesn't even.

646
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: Give you time. No, you kind of don't even understand

647
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: what's happening while you're not even in on the joke.

648
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: You're the joke. But then once you're now I'm in

649
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: a relationship. Yeah, I want to do this all the time. Yes,

650
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 2: I wonder how that even works. I guess this is

651
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: it's almost in the same category as the what is

652
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: that the perpetual motion bird thing that like drink going

653
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 2: to drink? Yes, yeah, I like I don't I really,

654
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: I guess I would classify this as a gag.

655
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: Yes, a prank, and a curiosity on your table.

656
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: It's an oddity, a curiosity.

657
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 3: To confound and delight and annoy.

658
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: Yes, something you would buy out of a wagon something

659
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 2: like that, right, or at the old general's store. Yes,

660
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: where How where did your husband find that?

661
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 3: He finds like he's sort of in charge of sort

662
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 3: of like the art in our home, like he will

663
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 3: find really cool. I don't know. Short answer, like it

664
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: just arrived and he's like, oh, this is kind of

665
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 3: horror movie. Yes, we had to make a deal, and

666
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 3: you're going to have to make a deal with the

667
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 3: devil to keep this.

668
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: Keep doing it, don't stop.

669
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: I think what he does is he does gofundmes, you

670
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 3: know where it's like, so then a lot of things

671
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: appear where he's like, I just respect this.

672
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: And do you think this was a gofund me? I

673
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: love the idea of this Kickstarter campaign. Yes, finally everyone's

674
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: been asking for a box that won't let you open it.

675
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: We figured it out.

676
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 3: We figured it out. We can make it to the

677
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 3: four million dollar goal again, our kid really start working.

678
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: Now.

679
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: I just love this thing. I don't I uh, it's

680
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: almost like something that Grandpa would have or uncle. Yeah,

681
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 2: give that a but no one's partner. And now I

682
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: kind of am desperate to know what's going on inside

683
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: and I'll never know.

684
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: Well you could. I think there's a little you see,

685
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: the little like classes you can open that you can open.

686
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: But again, I ruin it for I don't know if

687
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: I should ruin it for life.

688
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: Maybe keep it have one mystery.

689
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 2: It's its own little magician and it shouldn't give away

690
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: its secrets. Yeah, so what are there other things in

691
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: your house like this? Um?

692
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 3: Let me think think think. Uh No, I'm trying to

693
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,239
Speaker 3: think if there's anything as funny as that, But I

694
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: don't think so, but I do. I'm sort of like

695
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 3: the person that shows up with a crystal or two.

696
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: Oh sure, sure.

697
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 3: So I'll do a thing where like we have, you know,

698
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: like just a bowl of artistic moss and rocks or whatever,

699
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: and then I found a little Lego Drothy and a

700
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: little Lego Toto and I'll like So there's little bits

701
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 3: of whimsy that I try.

702
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: So do you take Do you buy crystals? Often?

703
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 3: A little bit sometimes I I don't know why, but

704
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 3: like they're pretty and right.

705
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: I mean I think that's enough enough. And if they

706
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 2: happen to have some sort of that's.

707
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 3: It where I'm not going to delve too deeply.

708
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 2: But it can't hurt with Yeah, unless it's cursed, unless

709
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: it's an evil crystal. Oh I don't buy evil crystals.

710
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 2: Well you think you don't buy it? Oh no, it

711
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 2: depends on if you're tricked or not. It's not rich

712
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: which you buy them from.

713
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, shoot, that's that's where I mess up.

714
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 2: This sounds like something that could have some sort of

715
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 2: evil property.

716
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. This is like one of those movies where

717
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: it's like right psychological torture. Yeah, I promise you it's

718
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: just a little finger that keeps shutting.

719
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: Up, but I just want to keep doing it. Kind

720
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: of feels like it's almost like this podcast turned into

721
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: a box or something.

722
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that's why I made the connection. I'm like,

723
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 3: I have the perfect thing. No, it's just I've heard

724
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 3: other people's gifts and I'm like, oh gosh, darn it.

725
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: Like that, I gotta step up. I know this is

726
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 2: absolutely top five gifts. It's such a fun it's a

727
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: I've never heard of something like this, never experienced something

728
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: like this.

729
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 3: I have a feeling that the person who makes this

730
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 3: it is gonna have a lot of business once you

731
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 3: put that on.

732
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 2: The Instagram right to right they're going to it'll probably

733
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 2: ruin their life because suddenly they're gonna blow up and

734
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: they're gonna be making too many of these boxes.

735
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 3: I just leave more destruction in my weight, just like

736
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 3: Dead Butterfly, Like bye bye guys.

737
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 2: Uh, not to go back to crystals, but I feel

738
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 2: like doing it anyway. Okay, I don't know that much

739
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: about crystals. When you go do you just go to

740
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: a crystal shop? Do you just see them at random places?

741
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 3: There's a place, you know in of the Seventh Ray,

742
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 3: do you know that it's so pretty. It's up on

743
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 3: the Pega can. Yes, Yes, it's beautiful pretty. Yes, it's

744
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 3: like there's a little brook and it's outdoors and there's

745
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 3: fairy lights and all that stuff. And then they've got

746
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 3: this little store and it's perfect. It's a perfect tourist

747
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 3: trap because I don't normally like walk into a crystal store. Right,

748
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 3: you're on a night out and you're feeling magical anyway, Yes,

749
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: and it's that's where I have the majority, that's where

750
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 3: I get them.

751
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 2: That feels like the best place to get them.

752
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, because you do feel magical already.

753
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: Right, it's like almost like a tree house or like

754
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: a somewhere over an elf would live or something that's

755
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 2: fairy lights.

756
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: Man, that's all I need, is all I want. And

757
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 3: I'm you know, I'm like.

758
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 2: I'm magical. Oh this is talking to me. Do have

Speaker 2: of the secon?

762
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 3: I think kind of Americana and then you could get

00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 3: your you get sort of anything there. But if you're vegan,

Speaker 3: a picnic and you bring whatever you want.

782
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:31,920

785
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 3: classes for kids and stuff, and they perform like you know,

786
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 3: a mid summer night's dream. But you're in the woods

787
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 3: and right absolutely stunning.

788
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 2: Oh that sounds really lovely, really nice. Have you ever

789
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: done live theater?

790
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? I all right, Well I went to I did

791
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 3: it all throughout, like elementary school up and then in college,

792
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 3: and then I went to acting school for two years.

793
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 3: And then I was broke in New York City. And

794
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 3: then because I was like catering so much to just

795
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 3: pay the bills and stuff, I started to stand up.

796
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: My friend dared me to do some stand up and

797
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 3: that was a game changer because I'm like, oh my god,

798
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 3: like I don't have to.

799
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,479
Speaker 2: Rehearse, like rehearse with a bunch of people and rent

800
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 2: the theater. I can control this. I can control this.

801
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 3: And it's at the time, it was like and it

802
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 3: was six minutes and I was just I ran into

803
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 3: someone last night actually who saw me do my first

804
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 3: like act, And I had a jingle bell earring that

805
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: I would ring to do the what do you call it?

806
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 3: Changing the topic basically segways my segway belt. So I'd

807
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 3: be like, oh, that was my first joke because I

808
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 3: was so new and I didn't know what I was doing,

809
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 3: and it was so funny to like this was ninety

810
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 3: six or something and so I was like, oh my.

811
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: God, that's right, what a gimmick.

812
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, And but then things well whatever, things started moving

813
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: before they stopped for a long time. But my now

814
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 3: manager saw me and said, if you want a manager,

815
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 3: come to LA and like, oh god, yes.

816
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 2: Don't forget the jingle bell. Don't forget the jingle bell

817
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: or the jingle bell. Comic got your talent, right, the

Speaker 2: jingle bell? Have you got the bell?

819
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 3: Can we get a headshot of the bell?

820
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 2: Do you still have the jingle bell? No?

821
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 3: I don't think. Well maybe maybe I saved it, Like

824
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 3: a little Christmas ear ring, so it was like a

825
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 3: hook with a bell and a little tiny, tiny read bell.

826
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,879

897
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 2: guess they're just so there's a whole field that you

898
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 2: learn about figuring out how to guess what people are

899
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 2: I know, and leading them into telling you information that

900
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 2: you're able to then build.

901
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 3: That must be maybe there's physical cues. I mean she's

00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 3: Maybe she's magical.

906
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 2: Were we how frustrating it would be for her to

907
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 2: be like, no, it's not a trick. I just am

908
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,040

00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 3: Just watch the crystals. They're scattered all over the audience.

962
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 3: Just watch your eyes. Wear glass.

963
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,720
Speaker 2: They're just throwing crystals. People.

964
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 3: We have to stop doing that, but we won't.

965
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 2: Too many people have been hospitalized. When will it not

966
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 2: be enough for you? Sorry? Okay, let's see. This is

967
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 2: how we play gift to a curse. I'm going to

968
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 2: name three things. You'll tell me if there are a

969
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 2: gift or a curse, and why I don't tell you

970
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: if you're right or wrong, because there are correct answers.

971
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: You can walk away a big winner or a total loser,

972
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 2: so be careful, or something in between, which is also

973
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 2: a total loser. These are all from our Patreon listeners today.

974
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 2: This first one is from a listener named Anna. Gift

975
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 2: or a curse. When a landscaper drives their lawnmower down

976
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 2: the center of the street, that's a curse.

977
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 3: I feel that's a curse because we are so on

978
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 3: autopilot when it comes to driving that any aberration can

979
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 3: just throw you off like a lot more than what

980
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 3: the situation calls for.

981
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 2: But if you're like I didn't expect.

982
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 3: And then just a slight turnoment wheel, it could be

983
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 3: a disaster. So I say it's a curse.

984
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: Wrong, This is a gift. Oh. I love to see

985
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 2: somebody driving a lawn mower down the street. I think

986
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 2: that they's what a power that they take. Suddenly they're

987
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 2: the king of the road. Nobody They get to call

988
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 2: every shot from here on out because they are on

989
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 2: the vehicle that nobody else is on. They also have

990
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 2: a weapon attached to their vehicle, and they're having the

991
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: time of their life. You know, they're they're proving that

992
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 2: these machines don't just have to be on the grass.

993
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 3: They must they must feel very powerful.

994
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 2: Imagine the power. Yeah, I'm essentially a throne.

995
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, slow thrown with a weapon in the front.

996
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. And also reminds me of the David Lynch movie

997
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 2: What Was That where he drives the lawnmower across the

998
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:04,760
Speaker 2: United States.

999
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 3: It's his brother, A very long tail, a very short tail,

1000
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:09,479
Speaker 3: a very love.

1001
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 2: It's weirdly, it's a weird David Lynch movie. For how

1002
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 2: sweet it is. It is David Lynch lawnmower. A straight story,

1003
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: A straight story. And is that guy the dad from

1004
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 2: Anne of green Gables.

1005
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god, the one who played Matthew Cuthbert on

1006
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 3: the Anna green Gables.

1007
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 2: Wrong, Uncle Matthew, let's see here. I might be wrong. No,

1008
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: I don't think it is. Who's that guy?

1009
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: It is?

1010
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 2: It is? Oh my goodness, Matthew.

1011
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 3: I told you I'm in charge of raising the child.

1034
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,800

00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 2: You just get to say I'm not your dad, I'm

1036

00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:04,000

1042
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:16,919
Speaker 2: a jar.

1043
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 3: Oh. I find myself charmed by it. I think it's

1044
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 3: a gift because then you can if you don't finish it,

1045
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 3: you can always reseal it and then use the jar.

1046
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 3: I think it's a gift. I think you win twice

1047
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 3: three times because you eat it.

1048
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:34,680

1049
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,359

1050
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 2: No, I love it. I think it's nice. I think

1051
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with this. It's a nice little container

1052
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 2: with a reusable thing that later can be used for dessert, drink, jam,

1053
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 2: capturing bugs. Probably a fifth thing you use your imagination,

1054
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 2: you can think of anytime you use your imagination, you

1055
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 2: can think of a fifth thing.

1056
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 3: So imagination is to give.

1057
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 2: So I think this is very nice. It's usually kind

1058
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 2: of a good dessert. You don't usually you don't have

1059
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 2: the boring desserts in a jar.

1060
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 3: You know what is the kind of a dessert in

1061
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 3: a jar? Layered layers, Yes, some layers, textures, Oh, just

Speaker 2: Yes, at least one of those will be whipped cream. Problems.

1064
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 2: No notes, Yeah, no notes at all. That's an absolute gift.

1065
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 2: I can't imagine that being a problem for anybody. And

1066
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 2: if it is, just take a look in the mirror.

1067
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1068
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,239

1085
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 2: I've I've tried it over and over, always thinking this

1086
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 2: is giving the shoes new life. No, it just becomes

1087
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 2: an uncanny situation where you're looking at your shoes. You're thinking, well,

1088
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 2: they still look terrible, but now the shoelaces looks new,

1089
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 2: and it's distracting, and everybody can tell I'm a fraud.

1090
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 2: It has done nothing but make the shoe look worse.

1091
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 2: At some point you have to say goodbye shoes.

1092
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I'll take my loss with grace.

1093
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 2: You've got one out of threat brother, pretty bad job today.

1094
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 2: That's tough, tough pill to swallow, but Ellis has their

1095
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 2: own gift or a curse, and now they're going to

1096
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 2: present us with it and we'll both have to speak

1097
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 2: to Okay, ellis what are we talking about today?

1098
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 4: Gift or a curse? Grocery store suit?

1099
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: She h.

1100
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 3: I never like it, and I'm gonna tell you why.

1101
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you why because it's sushi shouldn't

1102
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 3: be refrigerated. You know what I'm saying interesting that rice

1103
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 3: should not be cold and chucky, which is once if

1104
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 3: you have like leftover sushi and stuff. I'm just like

1105
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 3: roll the insides. I just can't abide.

1106
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 2: A cold, stiff, chalky rice. I can't.

1107
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 3: I can only say that like Harrison, like a Harrison Ford.

1108
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 4: Are cold chockery rice.

1109
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:40,439
Speaker 2: I don't kill my wife, but chalky rice the fugitive too.

1110
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 2: It's just all about getting bad grocery store sushi. I'm

1111
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 2: a doctor. Uh No, I'm on the same page. I

1112
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 2: think this is a curse. I h. I think that

1113
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 2: sushi has its place, and I think sushi should always

1114
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 2: be kind of an occasion, even if it's like you know,

1115
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 2: you go to a cheap, affordable sushi, it should just

1116
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 2: be it should have been just made. I don't like

1117
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 2: the idea of that gumminess that happens when rice gets cold.

1118
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 2: God knows how long it's actually been in there. I

1119
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 2: don't think it's often that cheap enough to even justify it.

1120
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 2: You know. It's like, well, if I'm going to get sushi,

1121
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 2: all spend a little bit extra and just go to

1122
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 2: a restaurant where they're going to make it for me.

1123
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 2: I agree.

1124
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 3: I feel there has to be some measure of respect

1125
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 3: for the art of it.

1126
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 2: Right, I don't know, you know, there are certain things

1127
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 2: I just don't want refrigerated served in a plastic dish. Yeah,

1128
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,760
Speaker 2: there's something that I'm going to be gagging, And there's.

1129
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 3: A lot of I feel like once you get the

1130
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 3: rubber band and the plastic in the thing, the little

1131
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 3: plastic separators, you're just like it's like having a party

1132
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,919
Speaker 3: for yourself that no one showed up. Like I feel,

1133
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 3: there's like there's been effort made, but why.

1134
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 2: It's just me right, just pick something else in the

1135
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 2: refrigerated section, something you can microwave. Yeah, I agree, ellis No,

1136
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 2: it's a gift.

1137
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 4: The amount of times that I've been in the store

1138
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 4: tempted to buy something quick and easy and unhealthy for me. Now,

1139
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that the grocery store sushi is good.

1140
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it, But that's not the question. The

1141
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 4: question is if it helps you in some way?

1142
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 2: Is it a gift?

1143
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I've like eaten that instead of something that's

1144
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 4: way worse for me. Yes, and it's helped me out

1145
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 4: of those situations. And as a child, it was my

1146
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 4: first exposure to sushi.

1147
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 2: And it was kind of like terrible exposure.

1148
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 1: Mmm.

1149
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 4: I mean, say what you want about that, but like

1150
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,320
Speaker 4: I it did help me introduce It introduced me to

1151
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 4: a whole new world that opened up my world to

1152
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 4: better sushi. So you know, there you go.

1153
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 3: When you had better sushi, did you feel like I'm

1154
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,240
Speaker 3: eating something different, like completely different than.

1155
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, but like a in a good way. It

1156
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 4: was like, oh wow, this is even better than I

1157
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 4: could have ever imagined. But I already enjoyed the taste

1158
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 4: of the grocery store sushi enough that it was like

1159
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,280
Speaker 4: a treat, Like good sushi, real sushi was the treat.

1160
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like I died and was revived and

1161
00:55:58,760 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 3: died again.

1162
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 2: Well, will you do me a favor?

1163
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 4: Maybe?

1164
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 2: Will you just edit out everything you said? How you do.

1165
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 2: It's a kindness you'll find out. Okay, well, we uh

1166
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 2: walked away losers in Ellis's sick game. But that's fine.

1167
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 2: Let's we hope me answer a question. Sure people are

1168
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 2: writing into I said no gifts at gmail dot com

1169
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 2: or sending voice notes that have to be sixty seconds

1170
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 2: or shorter and decent audio if we all know what

1171
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 2: decent audio sounds like at this point, let's read one today. Though.

1172
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 2: Let me get into the dock here, let's see. Okay, okay,

1173
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 2: this is dearest Bridger, an esteemed guest. That's very nice.

1174
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 2: I'm desperately seeking assistance as my neighbor's dog. And let

1175
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 2: me just note here neighbor with a U. So we

1176
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 2: don't know where this person is or if they're just

1177
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 2: trying to be fancy in the United I tell you that, yeah,

1178
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: we do not like this person's I'm desperately seeking assistance

1179
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 2: as my neighbor's dog is constantly getting out and running

1180
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 2: a muck in the neighborhood without a caller or id.

1181
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 2: Our neighbors have three kids and one dog. It's clear

1182
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 2: that they have their hands full, but their dog somehow

1183
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 2: escapes at least once a week, and they don't seem

1184
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 2: to make any attempt to stop him. I spend a

1185
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 2: lot of time at home, so I'm typically the dog's rescuer,

1186
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 2: But I have a one year old baby and a

1187
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 2: dog of my own to care for and can't constantly

1188
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 2: be on neighborhood dog watch. Just this afternoon, I lured

1189
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 2: their dog to me because he was running through our

1190
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 2: street and was approached by a car full of these

1191
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 2: sweet people who said they'd been looking for him after

1192
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 2: seeing him running through the neighborhood. This is the fifth

1193
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 2: neighborhood with the U. Okay. Normally i'd force myself to

1194
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 2: confront the owner and tell them to do something about

1195
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 2: the situation, but I believe they're moving out soon. Oh

1196
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 2: and obviously I hate confrontation of any kind. My question finally,

1197
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 2: would it be totally deranged for me to buy a

1198
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 2: caller and ID tag with the dog's name and address

1199
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 2: and affix it to him the next time he gets out?

1200
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 2: Bless you for reading? Yes, bless me. That's from Sarah. Okay, okay, Sarah,

1201
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 2: neighborhood with the you. The dog is all over the place,

1202
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 2: it's bothering her. She's very nosy, she can't mind her

1203
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 2: own business. She's looking out and just looking for neighborhood

1204
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 2: business to get her fingers in. What is she supposed

1205
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: to do in this situation?

1206
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm very concerned for this dog getting hit by

1207
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 3: a car. It's driving me nuts. So number one, I

1208
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 3: think that's very generous of Sarah to offer to get

1209
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 3: the ID tag and the collar. I wonder if because

1210
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 3: I know, like, if you show up to a neighbor

1211
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 3: with just a complaint and notes, that can be just

1212
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 3: fall on deaf.

1213
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 2: Ear right, just giving them a chore.

1214
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 3: But if you give them a solution, that's a different thing.

1215
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 3: So I wonder if there's like, is there a fence opportunity,

1216
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 3: is there a electronic fence opportunity? Is there a microchip situation?

1217
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 3: Or that sweet family full of people in the cart?

1218
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 3: Can you say, are you overwhelmed with this dog? Because

1219
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 3: there might be people that want the dog?

1220
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 2: Oh? Interesting, So I.

1221
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 3: Have like the three kind of solutions, but.

1222
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 2: Right it's a tricky one. I mean, I something I'm

1223
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 2: seeing here is that this person hates confrontation, but these

1224
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 2: people are moving, so maybe this is a good opportunity

1225
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 2: to try confronting someone where the stakes are pretty low.

1226
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 2: You can be as nasty as you want, right, just

1227
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 2: be as confrontational as possible, because pretty soon the slave

1228
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 2: will be wiped clean anyway. So you show up and

1229
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 2: you're just the worst to them, and it'll teach them

1230
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 2: a lesson and you'll also get to learn something yourself,

1231
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 2: which is that you can be as confrontational as possible.

1232
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 3: It's practice, yeah.

1233
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 2: Practice to you know, cause a lot of confrontations.

1234
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 3: Yes, and then like bye as the moving van pulls up.

1235
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 2: You've hired to help them get out of.

1236
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 3: Here, yes, yeah. All my solutions are like, spend a

1237
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:09,919
Speaker 3: lot of cash on doing their job for them. Yeah.

1238
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 3: That that is crazy making though, because you're like, oh,

1239
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 3: once the dog's on the.

1240
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 2: Street, people have got to get their dogs and their

1241
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 2: the thing is needs help and you don't watch out.

1242
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 3: I just always think like, you don't get a second chance.

1243
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 3: You don't if you get a warning. If you get

1244
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 3: a second warning and a third one, like something you're.

1245
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 2: Wrong borrowed time. Yeah, right right, an off leash dog

1246
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 2: alone is too much for me. A dog running around

1247
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 2: the neighborhood. It's not You should not be the other

1248
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 2: neighbor's problem, right, I mean maybe Sarah. Maybe Sarah takes

1249
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 2: take dog in and the dog has miss disappeared for

1250
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 2: a few days, share the wits out of them. Oh,

1251
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 2: and then they really learned the lesson.

1252
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, uh my my. Also, because I'm non confrontational,

1253
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:58,919
Speaker 3: excepting I yelled at.

1254
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 2: You, love, yes you did so, sorry whatever.

1255
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 3: But I would say, show up with a couple of

1256
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 3: solutions and then uh and one threat and one threat.

1257
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 2: Two solutions and one threat. Right, If the two first

1258
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 2: two solutions don't work, then you move to threat. If

1259
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 2: the threat doesn't work, kidnap the dog. Kidnap the dog.

1260
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 3: Now you have another dog solved, but you have escape

1261
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 3: art it.

1262
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I think that that's a kind of a perfect

1263
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 2: solution to what is essentially to what I'm seeing here

1264
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 2: is not a problem, and it just seems like a

1265
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 2: cry for attention from Sarah just wanted to be on

1266
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 2: a podcast or something, and he.

1267
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 3: Did a writing assignment. Yeah, it has to be five

1268
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 3: hundred words.

1269
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think that we've solved Sarah's situation. Yes, and

1270
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 2: hopefully the dog is in safe hands, away from the neighbor,

1271
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 2: away from Sarah. In a third situation where somebody that's

1272
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 2: not desperate for attention and can take care of dogs.

1273
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 2: Is taking care of it?

1274
01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope they moved somewhere where there's a fence.

1275
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, or a big field and they're the only house

1276
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 2: in the neighborhood. Kind of an Ann of green Gables

1277
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 2: situation that sounds like heaven. I hope Matthew Cuthbert comes along.

1278
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 2: They moved to Prince Edward Island.

1279
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:13,479
Speaker 3: Oh god, that's all I want.

1280
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 2: I think that's all anyone wants. Oh my god, how

1281
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 2: the people that actually live on Prince Edward Island field,

1282
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 2: They must just be flying high all the time. They

1283
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 2: must be so happy all the time. Yeah, except for

1284
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 2: probably the nine months of winter they experience whatever, and

1285
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 2: then they have the winter bowl.

1286
