00:00:08 Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests, your presences presence enough. I already had too much stuff, So how do you dare to surbey me? 00:00:46 Speaker 2: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Richard Wineger. Wow, what a feeling. Yeah, you may notice some difference in audio quality than the usual episode of this show, and that's because we're in my backyard for the second time I'm in seven months. It's a very special, exciting episode. And you know, when we're back in the backyard, I like to give a little disclaimer. There may be other noises. There may be police sirens. There may be neighbors hammering, there may be you know, bees buzzing. This is all free to you, the listener. It's a bonus. I don't want complaints. I don't want you heading to the review page to say it sounded like they were outside, because that's true. That's a plus, it's not a minus for this episode. So enjoy it, and you're going to enjoy our guests as well. I adore these two people. They really make me laugh. Anna sar Gina and Kyle Mazono. Welcome to I said, no gifts, Thank you, oh so much. Welcome to my backyard. 00:01:43 Speaker 3: That's beautiful here, it's honestly gorgeous. 00:01:46 Speaker 2: Thank you so much. It's just so nice to have you to see two people in three dimensions. How are you two doing? You know what? Actually, before we even answer that this is another I said, no gifts. First two guests once nobody. Usually it's a one on one thing, and this is going to be a whole new night dynamic for me and uh, but not a new dynamic for you two because you two work together so often. Oh, we at this point only work together. We had to be together. 00:02:15 Speaker 3: He said, let's let's do one at a time. 00:02:17 Speaker 2: We said, no, I don't feel comfortable. 00:02:19 Speaker 4: I said, I would really rather be here with you know, my plus one, if she would rather be here with her plus one. 00:02:27 Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't mention Kyle when when we booked this. You just referred to her as your plus one. So this is a big surprise, Kyle. I was furious. I saw Kyle walking up the driveway and I said, oh, okay, I've been trying to keep her out of my life and here, she comes an invasion. It's just so unfair, but I'm excited. You know, I'm going to just deal with it. Sorry, No, that's not true. You two, what I want to hear about your set for days? I want you each to give me a full answer of our day to day. Yeah, I want to see what you've done today. 00:03:06 Speaker 4: I hate to disappoint you, but already I refuse to answer the prompt because I mean, it's gonna be really hard to talk about. 00:03:13 Speaker 2: Are you okay? Just coking? Kyle is choking? Anna's refusing to answer my question. This is unfair. I'm gonna watch Kyle just kind of choke. Are you okay if I really read? No, okay, you're perfect. Yeah, okay, thank you everybody. Sorry, Okay, so Anna, let's get back to you refusing to answer my question. Bridge. It's not that I'm refusing to answer your question. It's just I mean, I can go. 00:03:42 Speaker 4: I can try to answer your your kind of your prompt with excluding Kyle from my day, but it would be nearly impossible because our day. 00:03:53 Speaker 2: Was spent together. Yeah, we've sent the whole day again. Kind of a three legged race of a day, a four legged even Wait, how is that when you're at like a family reunion and people are running around with their legs tied together, that's a three legged race. Yeah, well it depends on your family. Okay, interesting, it's different traditions, the traditions. 00:04:13 Speaker 4: You know, Remember, people come from all walks of life. You know, we're not here to assume anybody's kind of familial makeup. 00:04:21 Speaker 2: Okay, So you two have spent a day together. 00:04:23 Speaker 4: We have spent a day together so much that we have just come from napping together together? 00:04:29 Speaker 2: What on her couch? Yeah? Okay, well then how did the day begin? 00:04:34 Speaker 5: Actually picked Anna up at nine am and bright and early, and we drove to the beach. 00:04:42 Speaker 2: You drove to the four the podcast, actually the I mean not to immediately cross pond. Look, we're going to get enough promotion about the Truthhounds podcast later on. These two hosts a podcast called Truthhounds. Every episode, part of it is recorded at the beach. Absolutely where you go to talk. Might say that again, you go to talk, right, everyone goes to talk at the beach. You kind of go. If you have a conversation, you go to the beach to talk. Yeah, these two are their podcast network's biggest nightmare. They demand that they record at the beach, not beach sound effects at the beach. 00:05:14 Speaker 4: Well, they said we could do it in post, and we go, well, we really rather not, of course you're natural, and they just they go, oh, we just didn't consider that perspective. So sometimes when a network says no, you go oh, I would just rather not, and they go, oh, we just didn't consider that perspective. And then it's okay. So I think a lot of. 00:05:31 Speaker 2: People don't know that interesting. It's the power of no. It's the power of I rather would I like the power if I would rather, or I rather would. 00:05:41 Speaker 4: I think it's I guess it's the power of a boundary. Oh right, my boundaries that I'd rather record at the beach. 00:05:47 Speaker 2: I know nothing about boundaries, Okay, I cannot sit a boundary with anyone. So this is something I could work on. What beach are you going to? It's a secret beach. Oh, it's a secret beach. Yeah. So there's not that many people there, okay, and it's a secret from your listeners. 00:06:04 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I don't think we share ever share where it. 00:06:06 Speaker 4: Is probably a good idea, yeah, I mean, if ever we were pressed, Yeah, bye, by our biggest fans, by the one listener bye. We have one fan, And so if he pressed us, and I would tell him, if he levered his listenership against this location, I think we'd have to spill the beans, right, But thus far, no one's really pressed us to spill the beans. 00:06:28 Speaker 2: I think, so the beans remain unspilled, right. And this is not a podcast for secrets revealed or trauma's discovered. This is one where you come on and you're in a comfortable place where you get to just keep everything to yourself, and so the beach will remain a secret. I don't want this to be revealed. Well, trust us, it's fabulous. Can we trust us on that? Paint a picture for. 00:06:49 Speaker 5: Me though, Oh oh, it's beautiful. It's these really long steps, so long, I mean lifetimes between you and this step road is but it's sandwich or what's on the wall. 00:07:01 Speaker 2: It's like a vines, yes, green vines blush, a jungle jungle as you walk down these lawns alongside you. You're in the right direction, So you couldn't be carrying a surfboard? Is that what I'm hearing? 00:07:16 Speaker 4: You could, but you'd have to kind of you'd have to turn it sideways. Okay, how did you find this particular beach? So the way Kyle found it is I guess I told her about it, and then the way that I found it was, you know what, And this is a profoundly boring answer, but somebody else told me about it, right, And so that's how some of the best secrets. 00:07:38 Speaker 2: Kind of a game of telephone, a gorgeous game, gorgeous Sandy beach of telephone. 00:07:45 Speaker 4: A visual game of a kind of beautiful, kind of cinematic game of telephone. 00:07:51 Speaker 2: So are you two now going to the beach weekly, monthly, monthly? 00:07:55 Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, but just for that podcast. So we don't actually have our have fun there. 00:08:00 Speaker 2: Sometimes we don't actually do Yeah, sometimes we don't even have fun there. Yeah, we just kind of go into our job and then yeah, we go, we clock in. We're just like everyone else. We're part of the rat race. 00:08:10 Speaker 4: So we get to the beach, clock in, the I go, let's put on our suit and tie let's clock in, you know, and just some people have cubicles and we have the beach. 00:08:19 Speaker 2: You've got the Pacific Ocean, you got the big Blue Are you beginning to resent this decision of locking yourself into having to drive an hour to the beach. 00:08:31 Speaker 3: No, not yet, I don't not yet. 00:08:33 Speaker 2: Maybe after years, right, years and years after your relationship is kind of splintered, splintered, off we go. Can you imagine being like, maybe you have ten other things to do that day to go to the beach. 00:08:47 Speaker 4: I got to go to the beach and take it all in really quickly. Oh it's so beautiful. Okay, that's recorded it. It's so beautiful. 00:08:52 Speaker 2: Check. Oh the skyline is gorgeous. Check. You know we are just kind of specs of dust in the grand scope of life. Check. Okay, let's go. I feel like this commitment to the beach. Eventually you are going to be too busy for it. Turn to sound effects, turn to studio magic, and then that's going to be your big controversy. But it's going to be the end of your podcast. I have one word for you never, I have one word for you, moral to two words moral compromise. Wowow, you're going to be You're headed towards a giant moral compromise and you're both going to crumble. What do you think. 00:09:33 Speaker 5: You don't have to answer him if you don't feel like that that was hard to hear. Well, first and foremost, I hope not. I mean maybe I have faith. 00:09:45 Speaker 2: I have faith. 00:09:46 Speaker 3: I mean I don't think we're going to do the podcast if we ever can't. 00:09:49 Speaker 2: Go to the beach. Oh, interesting, I would say, then the podcast doesn't won't exist. 00:09:54 Speaker 3: Well, the whole thing is that we go to the beach to talk. 00:09:56 Speaker 2: So if you can't go to the beach, we can't talk, and without communication there is no podcast. Interesting. Okay, Well check and mate diets, I'd say, do you two actually like the beach? What do you do when you go to the beach. I'm trying to figure out for myself what a beach experience is. I I splash around and I have honestly the time of my life. I will speak without hyperbole. I look, I look like I'm having a great time. I'm falling down left and right. There's sand in parts that I'm sorry. Well, I don't know, it just doesn't have to be like that. I don't know, it doesn't have to be those. Okay, start keep going. What parts are you thinking? 00:10:45 Speaker 1: I don't know. 00:10:46 Speaker 2: Okay, we'll put you sorry. 00:10:49 Speaker 3: I just meant like under my nails, Okay, it doesn't have to be. 00:10:53 Speaker 2: Yeah, there are all under my eyelid, yes, under my near my butt. Okay, we'll see there she can go. There we go shock Jock Howard Stern herself. Uh okay, well we've gotten an answer from Anna Kyle. What do you do at the beach? I bring a towel, I bring a water and say no more. That's sextually, that's it. Do you read? No? Do you watch people? No? I don't. I am today. I actually try not to look at anyone. I just think that's more peaceful. You think that's private, Yeah, it's private time, private time, sure for me. No, that's understand Yes, I mean I'm not going to dig any deeper here. I want a favorite ocean from both of you, and I want it quick. 00:11:52 Speaker 6: Specific ocean, okay, Anna, also also specific interesting even though I'll say Pacific, because because it's not just. 00:12:03 Speaker 2: Warm right off the bat right, Okay, it challenges it challenges you, right, you got to want to be there. 00:12:10 Speaker 4: Welcome arms. No, I don't want welcome arms. I want a harder you know, I want kind of a standoffish. I want to earn my way in there. 00:12:18 Speaker 2: I did a report on the Pacific Ocean in fourth grade, entirely plagiarized, just word for word, copied to add of the encyclopedia. Learned nothing. But I do think the Pacific Ocean it's our deepest ocean. Does that sound right? Now? That doesn't make any sense? Now? It is our largest ocean. And that's all I know about the Pacific Ocean. That's all we can ask. I dream of the Indian Ocean, Okay, never been beautiful, but it seems inaccessible and I just I feel like someday I'm going to see it and I'm going to be overwhelmed. Atlantic Ocean. Huh, how do you feel about that? You know, I can't remember the last time I saw it, but it is a welcoming It's warmer. It's warmer, am I right? So like East coast? East coast, You've got your Florida's your you know, Miami loves Miami. Kyle loves my podcast that She's party scene free. Before the podcast started, Kyle would not stop screaming about Miami. 00:13:23 Speaker 3: Like a pool party with like a lot of everyone has balloon things. 00:13:27 Speaker 2: You see those like in the pool and they have balloons. Right, Wait, you're thinking of blow up? Wait and you're thinking of balloons and she's thinking of balloon So you guys, are I love was just describing was a blow up pool toy? 00:13:44 Speaker 1: Yeah? 00:13:44 Speaker 2: Actually probably that's thank you, Kyle. Okay, So I'm kind of the I like to educate on inflatable pool toys, despite the fact that I barely was able to grab that word in my head even after saying it thirty seconds ago. 00:14:02 Speaker 4: And that's the thing about the Atlantic Ocean as a state of mind, very welcoming, very forgiving. 00:14:07 Speaker 2: Right. The interesting thing for me with the Atlantic Ocean is it's warm and it feels like it should be cold, while the Pacific Ocean, I think it's more associated with California, and you would assume warmer water, you would think. Whenever I picture of the Atlantic, I imagine the Eastern seaboard, cold rain, clam chowder, right, clam chowder trying to warm up in your you know, your cod style is yelling at you. He's yelling, screaming, he's like lost a sun or whatever. It's hard for him to emote, and therein is the challenge of the movie. Right, So it's really hard. Yeah, the Atlantic for me, that's always been kind of the puzzle, and I don't want to look any further into it. It's sandwiched between Europe and colder parts of the United States. It's the bouncer, right, So I'm just as asuming this is going to be cold, and I guess that's why it's surprising and fun and yet it's so warm. Where is the Pacific again? You think Cali girls? Cali girls up? 00:15:13 Speaker 4: Baha, men and women like both like in dignity. Okay, right, it's you try to get in there. Good luck palll No, you're not going to be comfortable. You're you're coming right out. 00:15:26 Speaker 2: You're very aware of what's happening in the present that you could only think about your body, which I think is probably a good thing. Yeah, it's nice to be able to just be in your body for a few seconds. Brian all over you? Is that okay? That he said? Brian? Are you not a Brian? I don't love the word Kyle. You don't like the word Brian, Briany, No, it's it. Yeah, it's a little it's a little weird. How do you feel about pickles? I like pickle? Okay, give her that chillis pickle? Do you both like pickles? We do sweet? Do you like sweet pickles? No? No, despise, Why does it exist? Why it is? I don't think I've even had one. It's it's good to hell, you know, it's it's just honestly, where are they? You know if they're usually at your local grocer. Uh. And that's about it. Like no one serves like puts a sweet pickle on like a burger. Absolutely not. I need the you know, the tartness, I need the vinegar, I want the dill pronounced right, okay, I want I want it to be salty, of course, and just and the yellow sweet? What are you doing? 00:16:39 Speaker 6: Well? 00:16:39 Speaker 2: See? I was a latent life pickle eater because all I was ever served growing up was a sweet pickle. And they're uh, they're not good. It's a weird texture combined with sweet, and it's like, what are we doing here? Then I had some you know, delicious pickles at uh a place called Tayeme somewhere in Los Angeles. They made an excellent pickle. It converted me instantly. They're salty, They're salty. You want it to be salty, that's what you want, right, of course, any like savory food that is more sweet, just doesn't really add up. 00:17:13 Speaker 3: For me, well, to me, grow up? 00:17:15 Speaker 2: Grow up? Yeah, I don't sweet as for dessert, that's for everything to be sweet exactly. What's wrong with you? Why do you need to be coddled? 00:17:24 Speaker 1: What is this? 00:17:26 Speaker 6: Yes? 00:17:27 Speaker 2: Foods exactly right. I think we make a good point here. Look, you two. I mentioned earlier that you are in my backyard. You're kind of invading my space. That's actually an idea for a podcast. It could be called You're invading my space? Or I let myself in? H do you mind if I help myself to a snack? Those are all three different podcasts ideas. I love that. 00:17:53 Speaker 4: It's so do you mind if I help myself to a snack? I invite myself into your home? 00:17:57 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're kind of there when the guests in the Yeah, when the guests gets home, yeah yeah, yeah, and you're about to host a podcast in their home without them knowing exactly, and then they're already like kind of getting in their fridge and they're screaming. 00:18:11 Speaker 3: You go, Wow, you've really shown your true colors to this podcast. 00:18:14 Speaker 2: Audience just right off the bat. You've could have you know, been likable to start become unlikable but you're screaming about me being in your place. What kinds of snacks are we even working with you here? Your fridge is empty? Yeah, it's like some you know, limp celery, half a gallon of milk? What am I supposed to eat? That's the podcast though, that's a great podcasts. Excellent. Okay, we've got to get a network on board. We'll start pitching next week. Absolutely, this will be the one when you guys can't go to the beach anymore. You started fading homes, you start getting another great giant thing you have to overcome. Look, I'm off track as usual, because I did want to kind of just get into this. You brought this, so you brought a bag and this podcast is called I said no gifts, and so a couple of weeks ago, your publicists reached out to me. Anna's publicists reached out first, Kyle's second, then your joint publicist third. I remember there were emails, there were direct messages, there were calls. They all said, we've got to get the gals on the podcast. Their words. They referred to you as gals. Every one of your publicists referred to you as gals, Gal, gal, galgau Gal reported to a spam just to cut down on the you know, swarm of flies around me trying to get you two on this podcast. Ah, finally I agreed. I said, you know, I know Anna kind of I might recognize her if we cross paths in them all. I have not met Kyle yet. She's always been very cold to me. As I've watched her stand up. She won't, you know, look me in the eye. Well, you know, kind of roast me. I go to I go to comedy shows to. 00:20:07 Speaker 4: Wait, she's not looking at you, and she's yet from across the direction from the room. 00:20:12 Speaker 2: She's the roast are bouncing back to you. 00:20:16 Speaker 4: They're kind of ricocheting back to you, but they're directed kind of six o'clock. 00:20:23 Speaker 2: It's like a dragon shooting fire and it bounces off the wall and roasts me, which I hate as an audience member. I want if someone's gonna roast me, if you you know you're Jeffrey Ross's, let's just say it. Uh he looks at me directly in the eye. When that's respect, all right, that's respect. That's want to give you the dignity of perspect. No taken, So okay, So you agreed to be on this podcast, and I kind of lowered myself and said, sure, whatever. I don't have time for bookings anymore. I don't care. Someone can wander in from the street for all I care. They can be on the podcast. And so you two show up with this bag. It's kind of a I don't know if it's like a plastic canvas. What is this type of fabric. It's like it's one of these reusable bags that also feels dangerous to the environment. Yeah, it feels like any if the if the temperature were hotter, this would be melted into the ground and it would be like poisonous to your grass. Grass would die more than it already is. Okay, So it says din Tai fung on it, which is a you know, I believe in international chain. I believe in Los Angeles, and I think they may have some you know in other countries. They serve dumplings, they serve soup dumplings, they serve an excellent green bean, they really do. Yeah, I would go there just for the I don't even really the dumplings. Sure, I'll eat them. 00:21:57 Speaker 3: And the services. 00:22:00 Speaker 2: Five stars. What do you say? 00:22:01 Speaker 3: What do you say about restaurant, food, you go early services. 00:22:09 Speaker 2: That's an excellent word to describe a souper restaurant. You will deserve it. Yeah, an excellent restaurant that I recommend to anyone. So you did bring this bag. This podcast is called I said no gifts, so uh, I'm just going to approach both of you, and I want a clear answer. Is this a gift for me? It is a gift. A gift. Uh? Do you want me to open it here on the show or I could do it a few weeks from now. We really would like you to open it. Open it now. Okay, I'm going to get in here. I'm going to bring it over to me. I think you're really gonna like it. I'm reaching around and really you're going to like it. I'm just trying to see what's happening here. Oops, dropped it. Okay, that's resilient. Okay, So now we've gotten inside and lo and behold, the Din Taiphong was not the end of the rapping. It was only the beginning. There. I'm now looking at some honkah rapping, very cute honkkah rapping with the gelt little gelt coins and beautiful sugar cookies. Oh, I would love it for the for it to be the holidays right now. I do feel like, uh, Honkkah has like a better breadth of treats than Christmas. I feel like you get savory treats, you get sweet treats with Hanukah, whereas Christmas basically you're getting sugar cookies, which I have no problem with. I love a sugar cookie, but I don't like a Christmas ham. 00:23:43 Speaker 1: No. 00:23:44 Speaker 3: I agree. I very much agree with you. I love the variety right of Honkkah. 00:23:51 Speaker 2: It is July, so, I mean this is more of a tease. It feels like a tease teas. 00:23:58 Speaker 4: Alternately, yet another gift in of itself, the gift of reminiscing and looking forward to. 00:24:05 Speaker 2: Okay, I like that. Yes, do either of you celebrate Hanakkah? 00:24:10 Speaker 1: You know? 00:24:10 Speaker 5: I I guess I did last Honkah. But but I'm not Jewish, right, but I was celebrating it with someone who is Jewish. 00:24:20 Speaker 2: Well should I? I guess I'm going to open it up. 00:24:22 Speaker 3: Yes, we'll start with the first time, start with the Oh. 00:24:25 Speaker 2: So it is two different items with it kind of a belt, a wrapping paper belt. 00:24:30 Speaker 3: You know, I was thinking kind of a bracelet or cuff. 00:24:35 Speaker 4: Oh interesting, just so interesting how two people can look at the same thing and see such wildly different things. 00:24:40 Speaker 2: It's a learning experience, as you have got to be in another person's shoes from time to time and just look at the world outside of your own experience, like I just did. Absolutely and in that way, I think that that is also a gift, right, And I will say that said, I'm I feel like I'm correct here and you're not. This is more of a belt. This is more of a w w F like World championship belt that I'm looking at here. But I'm gonna rip it open. I'm gonna tear the belt, which is kind of sexy almost where I'm like taking the belt off. And so this is the one I should open first. 00:25:15 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, so start with that. You have a meaning behind the whole. 00:25:19 Speaker 2: The whole gifts some wrapping noises, the thrill of being in person, the three D experience of opening a thing on a podcast. I mean, it can't be replicated over zoom. Okay, we've got bubble wrap. We're getting it. Oh my god, what is this is? So I've opened a thing and it's like some kind of it's like a dish that says queen bee on it with a beautiful bee with a crown. It's actually a dish to put your big spoon on. It's a spoon dish. It's a spoons I've never heard of a school just trussed your spoon there. You just rested there and you thought about your day. Give it a break, give it a break. What you know, fastpace environment. We're all work, work work, you know, we're always moving forward, you know, kind of just cogs in the machine. And so you're saying, take a rest, take a little rest. Is this something that anyone uses normally? Do either? You have a spoon rest? I do, actually do. It's not as big as that one. That one's a big one. That's really big. So walk me through like a situation where you're like, I need to rest my spoon. 00:26:33 Speaker 5: You're making some sauce, and then you're you're like, I don't need my spoon now, but I need to let my sauce sit for a bit. I'm going to let my my my spoon rest for a bit. Then I'm going to bring it back when it's taking its rest and it's time to get back in the Actually take five. 00:26:49 Speaker 2: We'll call you back when we need you. You know, we're looking the camera anyway, click to your trailer. We'll call you back on so and it's time. Just do whatever. It's fine, you know, yeah, just have us whatever, take a moment. No, I understand that. You know when I when I'm cooking, I just find like the like loose piece of material that I ripped the food out of to rest my spoon on, or it's like on a dish rag, or it's just literally on the counter making a mess. I've never even considered, oh, there should be an item for this. No more so, this is shocking that I have a Queen Bee spoon rest. 00:27:24 Speaker 3: There's also we just wanted to say there was also that was the only one in the store. 00:27:28 Speaker 2: So you actually have one. 00:27:29 Speaker 4: You have a one piece collectors, You're never gonna walk into another house we think and see a piece just like yours. 00:27:39 Speaker 2: I think this is it. I've really this is actually something I can use. This is something every day I'll have a tea spoonful of something and I'm like, well, I can't put this on the country yet. I don't know where to put it. I can't put it in the sink because I might need it for another thing. I'm not making that many soups. I'm not making that many sauces. But maybe this is the thing that's been holding me back. Maybe this is the thing that'll turn it all around. Right Suddenly I'm a soup queen Bee, souper queen Well. 00:28:09 Speaker 4: And for you, you're also bridger, So it's it's very versatile in the way you're kind of got a lot of buzz around you. 00:28:16 Speaker 2: But also but also people call me be behind my back. But it's more of a homophobic thing. The homophobic community is after me and they're like, they refer to me as Queen Bee. They do it with air quotes. They're sarcastic. It's sarcastic. You don't mean it. It's a really weird community of sarcastic homophobes. It's an odd mix of people, which is hard for me to even deal with. But it's something that I've kind of just had to, you know, accept I'm Queen Bee. You're saying it's a concession, it's absolutely, It's an absolute concession. It's one of the many I've made in my life, just kind of deciding to deal rather than to overcome or or you know, confront. I do not overcome. I do not confront do either. I've just had again. Now Anna has taken out a an Olympus camera and an logger. Yeah, analog fully an god, So that's going to be a printed photo at some point. Where do you get a photo printed? Walgreens? 00:29:20 Speaker 4: You could, okay, if you have weeks to spare, we get your photos back. If you have weeks to spare for a slow boat, the slowest boat possible that money can buy. Okay, you could not. You could not pay for slower if you wanted to, and just except two months go by. Oh, your photos, I guess are back, right. So I have kind of a place that I take them. 00:29:44 Speaker 2: Like kind of a specialized photo place. Yeah, just a photo place. That's interesting. Yeah, Kyle, do you take this sort of old fashioned analog photography? 00:29:55 Speaker 6: No? 00:29:56 Speaker 2: No, you don't have photos and I don't. Yeah, And so I can tribute as much as I can. I give her as many photos as she she doesn't she I mean, she's running out of space right right. Her home is just stacked. She's being as gracious as possible, but there's not enough. Yeah, this is the thing for me about, you know, a physical photo. I do feel like eventually society is going to end, Humanity is going to be wiped out, and we're basically only going to have photo documents, physical documents up to like two thousand and one. I thought it's going to be really sparse, and if aliens come, they're going to be very like the last you know, digital society will have vanished until they come upon kind of the ruins of my house, right, gorgeous ruins. Yeah, and they're going to find kind of scratch like the era is this. 00:30:49 Speaker 4: And they look at this photo and of bits of you holding this Queen Bee spoon arrest, and they go, we have. 00:30:55 Speaker 2: A little idea of what was going on. I think I know what's going on moment. I have a pretty good idea what was going on down there. So Kyle, you cook? Actually I don't. Okay, so you're back pedaling at one thousand miles in an hour. 00:31:12 Speaker 3: No, but I do have a I do have a smaller version. It doesn't say Queen Bee. 00:31:16 Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Well maybe if it said Queen Bee, honestly, maybe I would be a better cook. Get your chef had more inspired, but mind smaller and doesn't say that. Yeah, so you're like, what sauces? Are you making? What sauces? Suppose it sauces. 00:31:33 Speaker 3: It's mostly what my partner uses. Your partner cooks, and he's also the. 00:31:38 Speaker 2: One who celebrates Hanukah. She's airing it all out. 00:31:42 Speaker 1: I know. 00:31:42 Speaker 3: That's why I hate going podcast. I just hate smelling my be. 00:31:48 Speaker 2: My life. Wow, okay, so your partner does cook though, Yes, let's see cooking. 00:31:56 Speaker 3: He's cooking all kinds of stuff. I can't even say what did. 00:32:03 Speaker 2: He's obviously not really knocking your socks off. 00:32:06 Speaker 3: Sometimes not, sometimes he is. 00:32:10 Speaker 5: And sometimes shocking. Yeah, he made a whole chicken one time. Right, he rows chicken. He makes great like you know, he's looking at the bonapa Ti. 00:32:22 Speaker 2: Giuse me? 00:32:22 Speaker 3: Your time is left and right, not. 00:32:24 Speaker 2: To tell tales out of school. He's making for conscious left and right. I love that bread absolutely, chewy, soft, absolutely, and the olty sometimes absolutely if you're lucky. 00:32:34 Speaker 5: Yeah, and then he makes me you know he's actually I'm not giving him justice if I the other day I said I really feel like a fruit cobbler, and he made me a. 00:32:43 Speaker 2: Fruit cop You're kidding me? What was the like what fruit. It was like peaches and you've got to be kidding peaches and this soundsberries amazing. Yeah, he's a really good cook. Actually, correct me if I'm wrong. Is it stone fruit season yet? 00:32:59 Speaker 1: It is? 00:33:00 Speaker 4: We're in the middle of stone fruit season, and I couldn't. I'm squealing. I'm squealing like a piglet. 00:33:06 Speaker 2: I mean like like a pig like an absolute piglet. Absolutely. I love a cobbler. Yeah, that's one of the few things that I can make. Well, I can make a BlackBerry cobbler. You put some chocolate ice cream on it, and your brain is screaming, there's a hummingbird to get into the conversation. Those things love sugar. And then heard this talk about stone fruit season, blackberries, ice cream, and it came squealing down. 00:33:37 Speaker 3: Well you heard are you squealing? That was really a beautiful butterfly. 00:33:43 Speaker 2: Gosh, just I feel like I just yeah, I mean, this is just this is where I come to pray. My god. 00:33:53 Speaker 4: Oh wait, so what kind of podcast do we need to do to get you to make this BlackBerry cobbler? 00:33:58 Speaker 2: That is? That's you mind? If I held myself to a snack, I think you think that's Yeah, the guest comes in. Anna and Kyle have cooked a full cobbler using whatever was found in the fridge, just whatever, right, just but you happen to we know you have gorgeous produced in the right. That's an assumption that we actually, you know, I don't think that's the podcast. I think this is a fourth podcast idea. That's like, you've got to try the cobbler. That's the name of it. You have to try the right, that's the And the entire time the guest is resisting and I'm you know, gently nudging like this, the smell of cobblers in the air, the oven is warm. I'm sitting there, I'm just like, you've got to try the you're gently guiding right right, the cobbler right or I'm a waiter at a restaurant recording and I'm constantly going back to the table of guests and saying, you got to try the complin. So it's kind of a lot of field recording, a lot of noise, kitchen noise, this kind of thing, Angry customers being like, why are you holding a microphone? We've got sirens and maybe we'll find out that we want that noise. I mean, this could be, you know, alas could be like we love the texture and the sound of sirens. Modern life in Los Angeles. There will probably be a helicopter at some point, I think also a it's you know what it sounds like. 00:35:22 Speaker 3: It sounds like a toy car. 00:35:23 Speaker 2: A what's the oh, adroid? Adroid? You don't know what they're doing Android nowadays. 00:35:37 Speaker 4: I mean they kind of diverged from the Apple iPhone standard a long time. 00:35:43 Speaker 2: Ago, so now they're doing all sorts of flying Android. Yeah, kind of a little phone. When no one pays attention to you, that's the perfect time to experiment. Absolutely, I'm always although for me. I love when people are looking at me and I'm experimenting and failing. Oh my god, I love to just watch people, you know, when people see me fail. Nothing better in the world. Oh look at me, look at me. I'm human. Of course I'm crumbling. You're watching me on a downhill slide. But you put it on Broadway, it you put that on Broadway. Broadway loves experimentation, Oh, of course. Dear Evan Hansen. Oh, we're always saying the greatest experiment. We're always saying that we're the two of you say in Unison. Okay, so we've got Queen Bee. Is there anything else that needs to be said here before I get into the next part of the gift. And I don't think we've heard anything about your cooking style. 00:36:35 Speaker 4: My cooking style it is experimental, Okay, it is, it is. It really waxes and wanes in that. I'll go through like the beginning of the pandemic, I would say, the first six months, I'm I'm cooking left and right right right now. You could not pay me one hundred dollars to go home and make myself literally anything, right, you have one hundred dollars that you're waving in my face. 00:37:09 Speaker 2: I go step off. Okay, stop tempting me. Stop tempting me, dare you? 00:37:14 Speaker 4: No, I'm I'm just I feel bad, but I'm right now, I'm just not cooking, just not there right. 00:37:21 Speaker 2: I myself was making Fikasha's at some point in the pandemic. I am a I like stews and suits and recently I did you know what, I will say. I didn't even tell you about this yet, Kyle, And I'm sorry, but I was. Remember we talked about grilling a fish, a whole fish, whole fish. I went, I have to come clean. I went to Whole Foods. I got a trout and I go and please do me the honor of deboning this. Oh yeah, that's that's what I love about that servant. Yeah, this grills you. Guess what? Yeah, sometimes they won't. Oh oh, I don't know what they did. I think they took out the I don't want to get too graphic. 00:38:00 Speaker 4: I think you can get graphic. I don't think this podcast extra podcast. This is okay, great. I think they took out the guts and stuff, but the bones were very much in. Okay, So I watched me and my partner watched him de bone for someone else, a child d bone. 00:38:15 Speaker 6: You know. 00:38:16 Speaker 2: The first video that was pulled up was just like a kid being like, today, I'm gonna show you how to wow fucking de bone a fish. You No, Usually that kid on YouTube is like, here's how to lace your sneakers. This was someone who's he. 00:38:29 Speaker 4: Was wearing like a little a little bracelet that kids give each other, like gift each other a friendship like a friendship bracelet. 00:38:36 Speaker 2: Right, But so he was definitely a child. Did it help you? I didn't. 00:38:41 Speaker 4: I don't have the adequate kind of knife situation at home, so I was using any knife and it really his guidance was certainly welcome. It did not get me there right. The folats were actually not too bony, but smaller than you want. 00:39:04 Speaker 3: It's unfair. Something had to die for me to get this little filet. 00:39:08 Speaker 2: Oh. I see, I can't believe they wouldn't debone the fish at the whole food So that feels like something that they absolutely should. 00:39:14 Speaker 5: But maybe they didn't because they were aware that that if they had deboned it, there was so little fish that they would have been giving you. 00:39:22 Speaker 2: Just this is like a salesman's tricky. It's just a big tooth. And uh, where's the trout? There we go? Where's the trout? 00:39:40 Speaker 4: What type of trout? Rainbow trout? I could not even tell at this point. I look back on that fish just with indifference because of how small the being. 00:39:50 Speaker 2: What a shame. But I mean, for Kyle to find out about this on this podcast, it looks like you just spent an entire day together and you didn't even think. 00:40:00 Speaker 5: No, it's crazy because there was a time where we were laying down napping and I said, tell me your gossip. 00:40:05 Speaker 2: She really did. We were gossiping. 00:40:07 Speaker 3: She actually didn't should have that. I should have been the time. 00:40:11 Speaker 2: Rather than to kind of leave you just stunned here on audio high and it's unfair. Yeah, I'm disgusting and I am sorry. Okay, well, at least we get an apology. I mean, when we began recording, I thought, you know, I should lay the groundwork for, you know, a fissure in their relationship. 00:40:27 Speaker 3: And so there was you said, we're going to be done going to the beach right, and this might be. 00:40:32 Speaker 2: The Maybe that's my whole reason to have both of you on at the same time rather than this feels good. And then I think I am going to have you both on separately soon. And then I will continue to fortify this problem. Kyle will come on and we'll have like a good two hour discussion just about the trout. Like Kyle, I would tell you if I made a trout, Oh, I don't know, my god. Then I'll bring Anna on. I'll be like, you should never tell her anything anything. I wouldn't believe what she had to say. Say wow, And then your three publicists are gonna have a melt down. 00:41:04 Speaker 4: I mean they're just gonna it's hard enough to get them in the same room, but to get them in the same room to hear about this. 00:41:10 Speaker 2: I mean, that's okay. So you made a trout you make for Kacia, not actively, but I have, Yeah, you have. I mean that's more than I've ever done. I worked at a bakery that sold for Kaca. Oh my god, so you wrod Ficaca adjacent Yeah, okay, fine, it wasn't the greatest. I've had better. And then the bakery accused me of burglarizing it. And so you know, it's a dark chapter in my hist How dark is this chapter? I mean, that's about as dark as it gets. Stole the till money. They still they thought I snuck back after hours and the money from underneath the office door. 00:41:48 Speaker 3: And I'm sorry, bakery. We all know the hours begin at four am. 00:41:52 Speaker 4: Four am, So I am to believe that you, Bridger, I mean, would not hurt of fly other than our relationship, but snuck in before I. 00:42:03 Speaker 2: Mean what time, So I guess it would be between I guess closing hours were nine. Then you've got to clean up. You've got to do You've got to wash the dishes, you've got to put everything away, you've got to throw away the bread. By the way, they wouldn't let us take the bread home, which is shocking. I would. I would take bites out of the bread on my way to the dumpster. No, yeah, which is maybe a dark detail about my life. I love this detail, but it was delicious. I didn't want to just throw away the bread. 00:42:26 Speaker 6: Yeah. 00:42:27 Speaker 2: So then, so you're probably out of there by ten on a good night, unless you have a customer who shows up eight fifty five to have dinner. All those people are going to hell, of course, so I would have to be there between probably ten and four am. Yeah, so you but presumably you're not coming in a ten five No, No, you're right. I've got to go home and put the stocking over my head or whatever. It takes hours, right, put on my right just so you gotta shimmy it down. Okay, that could take hours the perfect we all know. And then by the time I've like, you know, kind of gymnastics my way through the lasers, it's earliest three thirty am. No, we know, you're doing a fabulous Yeah. So, but they did accuse me of burglarizing, Oh not directly. They called the police and I had to go into the station and go be interrogated in a police interrogation room. This is not a joke. And I, you know, I had not burkelarized the restaurant, the bakery, bakery cafe technically, and then they kind of slowly took me off the schedule. Oh I've been there. 00:43:38 Speaker 4: I've been there where they actually with both parts separately, I've been accused of berkelarizing. I mean, I honestly the first bartending job I had, the owner would get so drunk and do quite frankly, so much cocaine that he would take money out of the till and forget oh right, right, So the height of us high. You know, he's kind of his sunset strip is being is going up to buy register at by the way, six pm. He's just gone out of his about six pm at best, okay, possibly five supper hours. 00:44:19 Speaker 2: He takes true supper hours. 00:44:21 Speaker 3: Okay, you it's not even late enough to eat a soup. 00:44:25 Speaker 2: And yet there he is taking one hundred dollars out of the till. 00:44:29 Speaker 4: Okay, And then he would sober up by the time my shift would be done, and he'd be like, this is short one hundred dollars. Oh no, no, recollection, and sometimes I'd have to be like, please go watch your own cameras. 00:44:43 Speaker 2: Look at the Michael, look at the embroidered jeans you're wearing. Those costs one hundred dollars. We all know where the money's coming from for these studded jeans. No, stud Yeah, they're charging And then separately have been not fired quote unquote, but taking off the schedule slow, unbelievable, unbelievably. Yeah, Kyle, have you ever been let go from a job? 00:45:05 Speaker 3: Actually? 00:45:05 Speaker 2: No, are you like a great like an a student at jobs? I think so? I am too. I mean that's the thing I am too. I feel like I put in the work. I'm not burglarizing the bakery, but the least maybe I'm too squeaky clean at work where it becomes suspicious. So you should be making, by that logic, a little bit of a mess. Yeah, I did burn all of the croissants once. Wow, I'm revealing a lot about why you should not hire me at a puge. You are over there burning the croissants right, just torched? 00:45:38 Speaker 4: Wow? 00:45:38 Speaker 2: So you are actually baking okay, I mean not really like I would take out the frozen I mean I don't want to reveal too much about it. We're not naming the frozen croissants. You put them on the cookie shoots and then you bake them. They were perfectly fine. You know, they were probably like a Costco level quality. Okay, well, when you make it to a sandwich, it's like that's pretty good. That's fine, but it's not, you know, not, it's not. 00:46:03 Speaker 4: When Kyle and I went to Paris and we threw our bets off the idel. 00:46:08 Speaker 3: They would wrap the the croissants in a little blanket. 00:46:12 Speaker 2: Oh my god, and then they would twist the end. Did you too actually go to Paris together? He has a wonderful trip, beautiful. When was this like maybe a year ago, a little over. We hope to go back again the September pre pandemic. 00:46:25 Speaker 5: And our classic story about our trip is that we wore berets in the the airplane over there because. 00:46:33 Speaker 2: We wanted to blend. We looked around. When you get there, they would know we. 00:46:39 Speaker 5: Looked around in our flight and goes, where's everyone? Where's everyone? 00:46:43 Speaker 2: With everybody else? 00:46:44 Speaker 4: Must there's everybody else, must be the locals are the only locals going home? 00:46:52 Speaker 2: We live so you know, okay, well, you've been to France together. Look, we're getting so off track here, and I still have another gift open. I'm so excited for your listeners for the last twenty minutes has been screaming there's another gift. Yeah, you fool. So I'm going to open it. 00:47:08 Speaker 3: And should we explain it first? 00:47:12 Speaker 2: Is that your styles that you go to a birthday party or a wedding, you want to give a condition? I do you want to give ahead to do that? 00:47:18 Speaker 3: Can I just say something before you get in that she really does do that. 00:47:22 Speaker 2: It's not a good thing to do. Just let them experience it and then if they if they look surprised or okay, unhappy, then begin explaining the condition. Don't give them a reason to be unhappy. 00:47:33 Speaker 4: Well, a condition can be what about kind of meeting each other in the middle here and you go, you know, something like, we're very excited about this one. 00:47:41 Speaker 5: So the first present was like you queen Bee at home, and so this next part givet is you queen Bee outside in the world. 00:47:51 Speaker 2: Maybe one of your clubs in Miami. Actually that would be really nice. Yeah, actually I can be honestly, I get myself one. Okay, So it's a Tankini is that what I'm gonna be opening here? Oh no, no, we would never all right, I'm gonna open it up. Okay, wait wait, oh my? What is this? This is like I'm gonna hold this up for the camera here. This is a a shirt which the pattern on it is actually stunning, but once you start looking at it, it's a I don't even know this is Is this a tunic? Am I looking at a tunic? Do you want to say it? It's like a tunic? Captain, Oh, this is so I'm not where I've like kind of placed it over draped it over my body because I can't put it on yet. I could go put it on, but I feel like, what are we gonna do posting for a photo? It's like a knee would you say, above the knee? Honest? Above the knee, above the I'm honest at all Actually take that back. Kaf Tan tunic with what it's like kind of a leaf pattern. 00:49:07 Speaker 4: A wild get away from life pattern, get away get out of the city pattern. 00:49:14 Speaker 2: And it's a beautiful design and brought to you by Kiki Soletik. 00:49:19 Speaker 3: What is Kiki sol is a fabulous brand. 00:49:22 Speaker 4: Well, it's a fabulous bransion and it's actually a Kiki's Holy Original, so that's a Kiki solely. 00:49:27 Speaker 2: Fabrics are still printed by hand. That's what this says, first and foremost. Due to changes in weather, temperature, and sunshine, colors may vary slightly. So this they're kind of doing a Kyle move here and explaining the problem. We hope you enjoy wearing our colorful artists and fabrics that are full of character and life. 00:49:44 Speaker 4: Here's the thing about that note, and here's the thing about Kyle okay, is that they both know the value of this kaftan and they know that it's a Kiki's Holy Original, so they actually don't need to apologize at all, and they're being fake modest right by being like, I don't know, just I don't Maybe maybe pools he had Miami, or maybe it's hand crafted. 00:50:04 Speaker 6: I don't know. 00:50:05 Speaker 2: But the thing is, we all know it's fabulous. So this is incredible. So do you think you know this is you know? Do I throw this on, like I get in a huge fight with Jim and I'm like, I'm going to the desert, I put it on and then drive to the desert, or do I put it on once I drive to the desert. 00:50:20 Speaker 4: Oh, that's a really good question. I think you're putting it on mid getting a top of your vespa. 00:50:25 Speaker 2: Oh, or I'm like fighting with him and pulling it over my head. Yes, while screaming. We're like yelling at each other. It's over, but I'm trying to get my calf tan on catching up to me. Arm good luck catching up to me, you know. Okay? Well, I uh, do either of you own a calftan? 00:50:52 Speaker 1: No? 00:50:52 Speaker 2: No, no, I wish today to get you both to commit to a buying a calftan. 00:50:57 Speaker 5: Well, seeing that when we saw that, I was like, I would absolutely love something like that my closet. 00:51:03 Speaker 4: Absolutely originally akiki original in your closet. I don't even know if I'm good It feels like I don't know if I'm good enough to have that. 00:51:13 Speaker 2: Oh. Interesting, it's kind of a self confidence issues. Okay, absolutely, Well, I'm here today to tell you I'm certain you should be in kalf tans multiple times a week, both of you. Wow, you've got to have a couple in your closet. I mean, this is my first one, but I'm already the authority. I'm kind of the spokesperson spokes model. Eventually, because I will be wearing this after getting a giant fight and driving to the desert on my moped. And the great thing is that it's not, you know, a floor length calf tan that could get caught in a wheel. No, exactly. That's why it's perfect for a quick getaway. Right it's like mid thigh. I'm getting sunburned to hell because I didn't have time to put on the sun's screen. But the time I get to the desert, they're like he's been through something. Absolutely free room. Yeah, free room, at least a free upgrade, free upgrade for sure upgrade. 00:52:08 Speaker 4: And you know what, we don't have one quite ready yet, But why don't you lounge by the Pulled's gorgeous out there right now? 00:52:15 Speaker 2: You could just lounge. 00:52:16 Speaker 4: It might seem like we're making you do that to wait for the room, but it's actually honestly a gift. 00:52:22 Speaker 2: You will go lounge by the pool. I you know I'm gonna, I actually am gonna take this on vacation with me. How could I not? My back is against the wall, you're both holding guns, gun, and I'm saying, I'm putting on the calf, putting on I'm putting on the geeky so you got well, this is absolutely wonderful, And I don't even know what else to say about a calf down. I feel like the three of us are probably the scientifically the last three people who will own klf tans, and so you two have thrown me into this new world that you two don't dare tread in. 00:52:58 Speaker 4: Sometimes you need to be pushed to realize is that actually that's where you were meant to. 00:53:03 Speaker 2: Be the whole time? 00:53:04 Speaker 4: Interesting as I push you, and I think, as Kyle pushes you, and I see you feeling already right at home and you're not even wearing it yet, I. 00:53:13 Speaker 2: Go, maybe that's where I live too. I don't know what he brings up for you, Kyle. I'm not sure what you actually mean by what you just say. Pictures at home and you're saying I'm going loving it for him. 00:53:30 Speaker 4: I'm going maybe I'm also want to Yeah, yeah, I definitely want Kiki Sole, You want you. 00:53:37 Speaker 2: Get any other brand? At this point? Garbage? Every other captain go to hell, absolute garbage to go straight to hell, unless so knee length captain. You don't want it to get stuck right, No one wants it. We've seen that happen too many times, too many times. 00:53:57 Speaker 4: Diane Lane style fast woman just trying to enjoy her day, is trying to go about her life. Her caftan gets stuck in the spokes, she falls over me. She basically drowns in the ocean right there. It's the Atlantic gets warm. So no one's worried, right. 00:54:12 Speaker 2: No one's concerned. They're just thinking that she's kind of bathing. Yeahs naked and she's bathing. She's fine. She was so excited she threw a calftain by the side of the road. So we loved your working under the Tuscan sun. Okay, they let her drown. Where's you know? Whereas this? This is the klftan on the go, Tunic on the go, tunic on the go? Do we know? Is? I think we should at least for the listener who hasn't seen this yet. Yeah, we do need to nail down kaftan or tunic. 00:54:39 Speaker 5: You too, tell me it's actually I would say it's actually a tunic, but I like to think of it as a caf dan. 00:54:45 Speaker 2: It's just too sure. It's got a captain spiriting. It's a little sure you got a captain. It's like you know what I mean, because caftan's going to be like a dress. Do you think a calf tan has to be or maybe that is I see. 00:54:57 Speaker 5: I genuinely don't know. I'm not even putting it. A caftan is always at least at your ankle. 00:55:03 Speaker 2: And the tunic is kind of like the tunic's gonna be where that one's gonna hit. Which is like wow, which is above? This is you're not allowed at school. This is against the dress code a school. You're absolutely getting sent home or something. Yeah your friends. Wow, did either of you two have trouble with the dress code in school? No? Well I went to I went to like a I had a uniform. You also, it was kind of hard to break the rules. 00:55:33 Speaker 5: Well, what I would do is I would sharp be things on my little skirt. That was the thing like this he told me about. 00:55:39 Speaker 3: I know, I don't think it just it literally just came back with that question. 00:55:43 Speaker 2: That's how this podcast is. 00:55:46 Speaker 3: It's just really. 00:55:49 Speaker 2: I'm walking. I've thought about for years. 00:55:52 Speaker 3: What sharp you sharpie? 00:55:53 Speaker 5: You know, like like a little like star okay, you know, like just to show like if someone could spot it, you go, yeah, yes, that's me that's me. 00:56:03 Speaker 2: But you weren't getting in trouble. It was just a little secret for you. And yeah, I don't be highly observant. 00:56:09 Speaker 5: We would get in trouble if we were ankle socks, which I never knew that an ankles were. 00:56:14 Speaker 2: I guess sexy about the person calling it out, And it's like ankles the devil's little shame. Anybody if you like ankles, great, but they're the devil's little snack. They're the devil's little snacks. That's what my principal said, I see your devil's little snacks. Let's get a showing by see your devil's little snacks once more, expect it. 00:56:38 Speaker 4: And it's really about the teacher because they're the ones experiencing the attraction right exactly. So they're looking at the devil's little snacks, and it's it's calling something up from within them. 00:56:51 Speaker 6: Right. 00:56:52 Speaker 2: Too much ankle, too much devil's little snack. They're canceled. There, Every teacher who loves the devil's little snacks canceled. Moving forward, we'll be canceled. Okay, you too. We've got to play a game. Do you want to play a game called Gift Master or a game called Gift or a Curse. I think our decision is gift curse. Okay, great, okay, now you have to decide on something else. Number between one and ten three three. Oh, an excellent choice. Okay. I have to do some light calculating, and as promised, I need you to promote, recommend, do whatever you want with the next minute or so and while I find the game pieces and then I'll be back. Can I hope you use this time wisely. We have a podcast of our own called Truth Pounds. I think you. 00:57:52 Speaker 1: Love it. 00:58:00 Speaker 5: Worked really hard on it. I think the thing that you'll see clearly and here clearly, if anything from it, what you'll take away is that these people worked really hard. 00:58:08 Speaker 3: On really hard. I think you'll go, who has this much time? 00:58:14 Speaker 2: Oh? They have this much time? Oh this is still kind of the listener. Oh they have this much time? Wow? Wow, Okay, listener, I you know, I just want to I'm not going to apologize for what these two have just dragged you through, but I am going to say it is what it is. Go listen to truth Haunds. It's very funny. These two are out of control. If you want to hear a podcast where every episode, at least part of it was at the actual beach. I can only you know, I actually can't think of a single other podcast that does that, that can make that promise. 00:58:53 Speaker 4: Well, actually, if I can even give away a little something without giving too much away, no other podcast will take you where we take you, which is that for one of the episodes, at least you hear us shoveling dirt. 00:59:10 Speaker 2: Are you comfortable with my revealing that? Yeah, that's okay, Yeah, okay, this is how the game works. I'm going to name three things, and this is gonna be hard. I think I'm gonna have to do it every other We can't have a bunch of conferring between the two of you for each one of these. So it's gonna go one, two, three, Kyle and Kyle. So two answers have to be answered by Kyle. You tell me if they're a gift you a cursor, why and why there are objectively correct answers. You can fail this game and it will be humiliating, So be careful. That's all I'm gonna say. So we're starting with Kyle. Kyle, this is a listener suggestion. Gift you a curse? This is from Lottie Lotty listener sucks with non slip dots on the bottom. Are you familiar with these? They have kind of little white dots along the bottom. 00:59:58 Speaker 5: It's like for pure bar that kind of exercise. I think, so you don't slip, right. So she's saying socks with those dots. I would say that's a gift because if you did want to do pure bar, I think that they will definitely support you from slipping and falling. 01:00:22 Speaker 2: So Hi, Lottie, I think it's a gift. Okay, so wrong? Oh wow, right off the bat. No, they're absolutely a curse. I love to slip and slide around the house and see if I'm wearing a pair of these socks with the little white dots on them, I'm in full control, which I don't like, and I can't move as quickly as I need to. Sometimes you need to be running and sliding across the floor to access parts of your house in a faster manner. One thing I will say in favor of those little things is the little white dots remind me of non perils. Is that those are called the candy parrels non parrels, non parrels, which I don't actually like, but they I like the appearance of non parrels. 01:01:06 Speaker 6: What is it? 01:01:07 Speaker 2: Why is it called a non parrel? Never heard of this? You've never heard of it? 01:01:10 Speaker 5: It looks like there is non Well I actually think a non parrel is actually just any like little like sugar like sprinkle is a non parrell like the little like circle white ones? 01:01:24 Speaker 3: Those are non pre okay, because I actually worked at a bakery. 01:01:27 Speaker 2: Oh so now we're getting some information. Sorry, Yeah, why am I sharing so much? Red? This is really nice. So it's really nice. You put basically like the dessert version of a button is called a non parrell. 01:01:41 Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think they're specifically the little white ones if I remember correctly, like the little white. 01:01:48 Speaker 2: Ones, right, they kind of like the things on the bottom of these sucks. Yeah, I guess, so it's a little larger. But okay, Well you did get it wrong, and that's fine, okay, And it'll be interesting to see if you're able to turn things around. Here, gift your a curse ordering cereal at a restaurant. You're the one ordering, yes, curse And why h First of all, what kind of restaurant is this? You're out of your gourd. Okay, you are out of your gourg The hubris of this restaurant owner who thinks that they could just open a business with everyday items and absolutely not. What if it's a breakfast place. 01:02:34 Speaker 4: No, no, I'm sorry. No, it's the simplest thing that you can make at home. Are you feeling so homesick that you can't. 01:02:42 Speaker 3: What if you're on vacation in Miami and I just got it on my brain, I'm sorry. 01:02:48 Speaker 2: Oh Miami, I'm too busy. I'm with my cash. 01:02:50 Speaker 5: I'm just saying, like, you got to be healthy, and your partners like, so I get a bold. Your partner is having a huge breakfast, but you're sort of trying to keep healthy. 01:02:59 Speaker 4: So you're like, I got to do a serial. I don't even think a cereal is a healthy option. First of all, I don't. Again, I see kids and they're like, especially if I have kids, absolutely not. No, we will never see eye to eye on this. 01:03:13 Speaker 2: This is simple. And so your full answer is curse. 01:03:17 Speaker 4: I think it's a curse. I think, yeah. I don't like the audacity of the restaurant owner. I have my own cereal style that I'd rather not discuss. On this podcast, So that's private, but that is to say that I'll look like a freak in public. No, okay, And they're marking up the prices, let's be honest. So you know, as my mother used to say, what am I Papa Carlo ping Pinocchio's biological father figure in Pinocchio? 01:03:56 Speaker 2: What am I Papa Carlo? No? 01:03:57 Speaker 4: I'm not paying these exorbitant prices. It's some I'm sorry idiots restaurants that was probably handed down to them by a wealthy relative. 01:04:08 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. I think it's a curse. Kyle, you were so lucky you weren't able to persuade Anna to your side of this, because of course it's a curse. Why is cereal on a restaurant? Man, what are you doing? Why is it different? And it's always like total Yes, the cereal the worst cereal in the world, Absolutely, like something that hasn't been seen since nineteen ninety three. No, what is the point, And it's we're paying ten dollars for what I'm saying. I know it's ten dollars. It's not gonna be three. 01:04:36 Speaker 4: Literally, they're not like I don't know some of the kids, if your kids are, they're really particular. 01:04:41 Speaker 2: Okay, give them a cereal for two fifty. It's not that it's I'm paying. 01:04:44 Speaker 4: You want me to play Brooklyn prices, and I'm sorry, but Brooklyn prices okay for apple jacks, I don't think so, thank you, And I mean, I don't think you're gonna even see apple jacks. And also if the kid, if you've got kids, you can't, You've kids, A got to grow up. You grow about to eat the All American and it's two eggs and bacon and a French toast. You're my child, You're coming with me. I'm giving you oatmeal plane. I don't even want it sweet and grow up right, oatmeal even it requires a third step. Even then, at least with oatmeal, like some preparation was required. It's not the waiter that's just sloppily dumping the cereal in a bowl. Unacceptable. It should not be on restaurant menus and should not be ordered. 01:05:26 Speaker 2: I agree, and I think they're going to get the ratio wrong. I've milk. Everyone has such an incredibly personal yeah. Okay, okay, so we're you know, one out of tude so far, final one, Kyle, Please please be careful, Please be there gift or a curse. Showers with no doors or with half doors, are you familiar, So like those showers that look like a stable, you know, they kind of look like a stable, or there's like a big piece of glass and then they're just a kind of a gaping hole, kind of a modern shower. 01:06:02 Speaker 5: As I just I don't want to fail. But as a I know I'm in dangerous territory. But as a private person myself, I just I don't want anyone to see me in the shower, and I just don't want anyone coming in. I don't want any swinging doors. I would say, I prefer a whole tour. You have maximum coverage. I want the most coverage possible. I actually preferred to be separate house. Preferred to actually be separate house in the hold area. Nowhere set you have a holding area, holding. 01:06:44 Speaker 2: Area, but base camp base camp because you're on set and I'm actually at pace camp where I'm showering, shower separate. So that's my answer. But you didn't curse then, so we're hearing. 01:06:56 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say it's a curse you. 01:06:58 Speaker 2: Turned the ship around. I'm absolutely on board with this. This is a recent trend. I've seen you know, occasionally you'll go to a hotel or something. So I'm two hip hotel and you're getting half a door. Water is I don't care. You can tell me a thousand times water will end up on the floor and I'm sorry, did I pay for half? I want the full experience closed in a little glass room where I don't have to worry about water splashing everywhere. I want that last line of defense in case somebody barges in. Absolutely, and why am I monitoring my bliss? I thank you my eyes. The water is splashing left and right. I should be able to get in there and go wild. The dots around. 01:07:39 Speaker 4: You're doing heads hands if you recall now, Kyle, I do want to say that. I feel like Miami is very big half door. 01:07:48 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that seems like a half door town. How do you I handle that? 01:07:52 Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure where I'm staying, I made sure there was a full door. I was actually one of the when I was looking around. But she calls the lobby, she goes front desk. She guys said, first of all, first of all, all treat me with respect. 01:08:05 Speaker 2: Treat me with respect, starting now, coming to you from the Pacific Okay, starting now, I said, now, tell me about your bathrooms. Is it a big door that's that's full size exactly? Yeah, you've got to have the full door absolutely, you know. I uh, I'm glad we're all able to kind of, you know, just decide that we're going to agree on one of these things banned behind all the three of us are behind the full shower experience, well because we have the room because it's a full door right behind the full door, right, so half door maybe one of us not a chance, not a chance, not a chance. I love it. And so two out of three, uh not the you know it's a D. What is that a D plus? Two out of three? I think it's like a B right now, it's like, uh, sixty six percent, isn't it? Yeah it is. It's going to be sixty When you got three, you really have to nail it or you get to Okay, So basically every one of my guests on this podcast has either gone a D plus or an F. I think two people have gotten an A. So you know that's the principal Bridger. Mister Weineger has strict rules, and we've got to get into the final segment of this podcast. It's called I said no emails people write into I said no gifts at gmail dot com. And now these people have needs, they have wants, they have full, rich lives riddled with problems, and so they turned to me. I'm going to read one of these and we're going to help this person whether they like it or not. And I assume they like it because they did write an email, Hello Bridger and esteemed multi hyphenit disobedient guest. So and I think that kind of works for you too, especially combined your multi hyphen your esteemed it says I'm a raging homosexual and a sticky situation and I have to reach out to you. My ex boyfriend of about five years married a lady in twenty nineteen and now they're expecting a baby. We're still relatively close friends, and I think they have been somewhat open with sexuality conversations, etc. But I don't ask too many questions, as you shouldn't. You're now the ex you're not the current sex police. Absolutely. They've since invited me to a zoom baby shower, which I won't be attending. They're bad enough in person. So now this ex boyfriend has said some nice things, acted like the relationship was fine, and then immediately throws both of these people with their baby on the way under the bus. Under the bus. Yeah, but of course I want to send a gift. Being the melodramatic bitch I am, I want my gift to maybe be slightly condescending. If you can't help, no one can with love and admiration, Troy. Troy has brought a It had painted a real complicated picture here. The boyfriend now has a h a wife, not even a girlfriend, but a wife, and they're expecting a baby and apparently left on confusing terms because it's still part of they're still part of each other's lives. But Troy is then writing into my podcast to kind of just destroy them, looking for a gift that is going to make them feel bad them. Troy, We've got to get this baby a condescending gift. What is something we could give a baby that's condescending. 01:11:30 Speaker 5: I don't know if this really is condescending, but what you could do is you could get the baby get them closed for when it's like fourteen years old. 01:11:38 Speaker 2: Oh that's interesting, kind of like kind of like that is condescending to a baby, that's when you start to matter. 01:11:45 Speaker 4: You're worthless, worthless into those pans, absolutely right, that's about fourteen. And the pants can be as fabulous as you want. Yeah, that's the thing. There's no limit. There's no limit fabulous the pants can be. So it's something to look forward to. Sure, but I think would breed resentment. So it's technically a great gift. 01:12:03 Speaker 2: They're great pants, yeah right, But in the meantime, it's like, when well I get there, how about like a dense, dry novel, Like, yeah, you're getting a moby dick that might even be too much fun, you know, Warren Piece, Warren Piece. You send a copy of Warren Piece to the baby, and it's like, try reading this baby, Yeah, wow, I love that your parents are freaking out. Now ex boyfriend wasn't even on the zoom and now he's sending Warren Peace and usps not even yeah, oh gosh, Notex or the other guys. Cruel, condescending delivered in a breaking Yeah, it's just technically a good book, oh of course. But maybe once he's eighteen. Yeah, Troy, how about that for an answer. You've got two condescending gifts and goodness stamp, right, on the book. Put it in an envelope, because you can mail anything if you put you can put this. You know you can technically mail like a rock if you oh, yes, don't put it in package. Don't even put in PA. Is that true? You put a stamp in an address on anything? Are you? I have a hard time believing that, yes, I put, I can put the book in the mail usps, yes, us ps. Okay, So I mean again, not feedex or any of the But guys and gals encouraging people to kind of send rocks. 01:13:28 Speaker 3: Well, why don't I tell your listener to try it? 01:13:31 Speaker 2: Troy, this perfect opportunity to try it. 01:13:33 Speaker 5: You slap A have to be in that kind of shape, could it be? Could you actually mail a pair of jeans then, and just put the address on the gens honest? 01:13:41 Speaker 3: For what came to mind for me? Imagine just think you could. I think it's anything with. 01:13:48 Speaker 4: I'm under the impression, and keep in mind I'm foreign, but I am under the impression that you could put But because I've had to study your culture meticulously. 01:13:57 Speaker 5: Right and right, I guess the danger is that you without the packaging, someone could easily just say, wow, I want those. 01:14:05 Speaker 2: I'm about thirty eight light. Could we slip into these jeans, my long legs into these jeans? Peel the say thirty eight. Yeah, that's a that's an interesting uh. I can said thirty three thirty eight thirty two waist, thirty eight legs. So how tall is that person? 01:14:22 Speaker 1: Tall? 01:14:23 Speaker 4: Tall guyer gal X pant peddler at Levi's, specifically the men's floor. If I'm if you're asking me to go back to backstock for thirty three thirty eight thirty two, be fair to me, Okay, thirty thirty thirty eight. 01:14:40 Speaker 2: I'll humor you. I'll go back there, but I might be taking an unofficial break because I know I'm not finding them back there, so I know I'm coming out empty. 01:14:49 Speaker 3: But okay, have it your away. I'll go back there and I'll look okay. 01:14:53 Speaker 4: But so I'm pretty sure you're right Kyle in that it's I think it's more that the packaging is like these are these could be pants? 01:15:01 Speaker 2: They could not be. Yeah, it's yeah, and I've stayed away. Yeah. I did work for the USPS for a total of three days. Is that true. I've worked in one of their data processing centers where they you would have to type in the ZIP code of every piece of mail that came through. I worked in a giant warehouse full of polygamist women. For whatever reason, a lot of the employees were polygamist women at the meeting, and it was such a miserable job. It was so painful because they wouldn't let you use the regular keyboard method of typing with the small little numbers. You had to relearn how to type numbers. And it was freezing cold. And so what I'm saying here is I never saw a pair of jeans with a stamp. I never saw a rock, Okay, just because you didn't see it. In the three days, we've learned a lot about our job histories on this. Let's close up the mail bag here zip. I've never done that before, but Troyebert say that zip is a keeper. Oh it's absolute key for days looking forward to this state, Troy, you got your answer, and look you two, this is actually the end of the podcast. And so I now have my Queen Bee soup spoon holder?
