1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: And I invited you here.

2
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: Thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest

3
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: in my home, you gotta come to me empty. And

4
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: I said, no, guests, your own presence is presents enough.

5
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: I already had too much stuff, So how do you

6
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: dare to surbey me?

7
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: Welcome to?

8
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: I said, no gifts. I'm Bridger Wineker. We're not in

9
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: the backyard. We're in the house. Because the backyard is

10
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: if you've been listening for the last seven months, there's

11
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 3: been some water issues and now there's some sort of

12
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: construction happening back there. Will it fix the problem? Will

13
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 3: it fix the problem?

14
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: That no?

15
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: I mean at this point, I simply don't believe anything

16
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: will fix the problem. But let's move on. What else

17
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: is going on. I may or may not have a

18
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: dentist appointment tomorrow. That is really up in the air.

19
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: The game my dentist is playing with me is wrong.

20
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

21
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 3: I've got to get in touch with doctor Rachel. We'll

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: see what happens. Let's get into the podcast. Today's guest

23
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: is so funny, so fantastic. It's Carrie Kenny Silver. Carrie, Oh,

24
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: welcome to.

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: I said, thank you for having me, and now I'm

26
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: dying to know about the dentists. Now I'm going to

27
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: be on the edge of my seat. Is it gonna happen?

28
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Is it not gonna happen? Air? If not?

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: Why someone recently pointed out to me that all of

30
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: the professionals in my life are bad.

31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: Okay, none of them.

32
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: We need new people across the board. I need new

33
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: professionals that people fixing the problems in the house don't do.

34
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: The dentist is all over the place. This is the

35
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: second dentist, and even this one is now an issue.

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Listen, I will tell you this is also just sort

37
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: of being a grown up. Yeah, but nobody tells you

38
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: that your life is basically about trying to find the

39
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: people to make your life work. And then once you

40
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: do find the people, sometimes they're not the right people.

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: And then if you do find the right people, sometimes

42
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: those people move or you move, or they got to

43
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: find new people, or they die, or they or you die. Then,

44
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: in which case it's all God settled.

45
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: And what are really worrying anymore? How long have you

46
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: been with your dentist?

47
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: See, this is a great question. I'm it's a it's

48
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: a rolodex of dentists and so recently I had this

49
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: is so exciting, this is groundbreaking, and I'm sure people

50
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: are gonna be like, thank God she's on because I

51
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: was wondering what was going on with the crown on

52
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: her lower left.

53
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: I've been wondering.

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: You've been wondering. Well, I'll tear to tell you. I

55
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: started to get a new tooth. I needed a new

56
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: tooth right, and I started the process. An implant is

57
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: the right.

58
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: Initially it sounded like you were growing another tooth.

59
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: I tried to. I tried to. It didn't work out right, right,

60
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: I did this whole YouTube thing. It was like certain

61
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: or it didn't happen. So I started to go to

62
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: my regular periodontist, and I started to not fully trust

63
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: the process, Like it got weird, Like a couple of

64
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: things happened that I was like, and listen, I'm good.

65
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: If you're going to kind of mess up of sync

66
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: in my it's like, it's a bummer, but it's not

67
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: the end of the world.

68
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: It's not inside my body.

69
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: It's not inside my body. If it's a haircut, it

70
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: didn't go great. But if you're digging into my innerds,

71
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: I would like you to have a little bit of confidence,

72
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: and I would like to have confidence in you. Yes,

73
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: So I went to a different guy, said, now I'm

74
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: all over the place. I got one person who does implants,

75
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: I've got someone does cleaning. I've got someone does cavities,

76
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: so I will Wow, this is the thing. You need

77
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: to have other people show you their people. That's how

78
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: you find your people.

79
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: So you have separate dentists for cleaning and cavities.

80
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: Apparently I do. It's incredible, but I'm not high mean again,

81
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: this is because it's my innards I have. Yeah, right

82
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: now I do, I really do well.

83
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 3: I'll say this dentist clean. My first visit was last fall,

84
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: and of course the listener is loving this.

85
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: Dill love it. Well, they're still here. I'm sure they're

86
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: still here. Is their friends right, they're out telling their

87
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: friends or this is a great time to wrap up

88
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: the nap.

89
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: But I started going to this new dentist lust fall.

90
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: They discovered cavities, and up until last fall, I was

91
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: under the impression that cavities were kind of a pressing issue.

92
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 3: That it was like, once they discovered, it's time to

93
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: fill it in.

94
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: They're not.

95
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: They tell me I have like three cavities last October.

96
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: They say, we can see you in February to fill

97
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 3: the cavities.

98
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: You need new people.

99
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: In February they canceled on me.

100
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: You need new people. Are you sure it was a

101
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: dentist you went to. It's very unclear. I think it's

102
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: clear that it was not.

103
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: There was something that resembled an office, but it could

104
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: be any sort of service.

105
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: Sounds like a bit of a money laundering situation. They're like, yeah, no, no,

106
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: we totally do dentistry and you need but listen, it

107
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: can wait.

108
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: They accepted cash or venmo.

109
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so I knew I could trust them. Come

110
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: home with me, Just come home with me, I'll do it.

111
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: At this point, truly, I brought mynd What were the

112
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: red flags you were noticing with this guy that you

113
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: were like, I'm done?

114
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: Okay, this was a lady. And I feel bad because

115
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: it was a lady, because of course sport are you

116
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: want to support? And because she's possibly listening. But that's fine.

117
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: Two things happened. My husband goes to her and came

118
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: home with a horrible story of them having dropped the

119
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: water thing on him. But it started like freaking out

120
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: like a crazy hose and it sprayed him all over

121
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: the place, and he's like, this is not instilling confidence.

122
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: And then my last visit to her right after he went,

123
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: she was like hurting me, but not on per like

124
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: she was opened my mouth too wide and it was

125
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: hurting and I was and I'm sort of trying to

126
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: it was not ah good.

127
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are just base level things.

128
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: These were base level things. This is what I'm saying.

129
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: You don't want to drop the hose.

130
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: You don't drop the hose.

131
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 3: I've never heard of that before.

132
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: And then the lady who works the front desk, it

133
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: was a little she's not great at doing that. She's

134
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: not great at doing that. So nobody was great at

135
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: doing the things that they're supposed to be doing. And again,

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: if it had been any other thing, maybe it would

137
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: be okay, but it's not right.

138
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 3: Your teeth, your eyes, your ears, you don't want you

139
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: know them, dropping the hose.

140
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: You don't want it. Don't drop That's like my grandma

141
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: used to say, don't drop the hose.

142
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: Don't drop those right. Has your husband stopped seeing this?

143
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: No?

144
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, well this is a problem.

145
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: He's a lot more patient than I am.

146
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: Too. He's more of a risk taker.

147
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: He's a risk taker. Yeah, yeah, I guess.

148
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 3: So he's willing to put whatever in the hands of

149
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: these people.

150
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. And he's never been he never felt like this

151
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: is unsafe for anything. I've convinced myself it was unsafe.

152
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: But did I go back to her for cavity Phil recently?

153
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: Sure?

154
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: Did?

155
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: Oh boy, Well, it's hard.

156
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: You're trapped.

157
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: I'm trapped, absolutely a hostage situation.

158
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: It's a hostage situation that involves my teeth.

159
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: They know that you have no one to turn to,

160
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: right because it takes so much work, and then the

161
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: next person could.

162
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,720

163
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,240

164
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 3: I too, thisis just told me that my insurance may

165
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,280

00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm stepping in as your surrogate mother for the day.

171
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: This is not happening. In fact, I have a bone

172
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: to pick with them.

173
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: What else has been going on in your life?

174
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: That's it, dents of your dental problems. Nothing that's amazing.

175
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: Priority. At this point, you're dropping everything.

176
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: I've been in a weird like time capsule, just waiting

177
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: for this conversation. I have a teenager. I have a

178
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:33,119
Speaker 1: teenage son. He's seventeen, seventeen. Yeah, it's a whole new world.

179
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's all about to get getting, you know, moving,

180
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: Come on, move them along, get right, don't do that,

181
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: do this? Oh well, we're not going to do that. Okay.

182
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 3: Now with seventeen, I imagine like a fifteen year old is

183
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: kind of like almost kind of an adult person, but

184
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 3: still can't drive a car, can't really take care of themselvesselves.

185
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: A seventeen year old is now approaching a full person.

186
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: Have you noticed a major shift between those?

187
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: You know what the shift we've noticed is in the

188
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: desire for independence. Okay, have the skill sets changed at all?

189
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Is he driving? No? Is he allowed to drive? He's allowed.

190
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: You know, here's the thing. We made it very the road.

191
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: The roads where we live are like on the list

192
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: of like the world's scariest Oh boy, like we might

193
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: as well live on the Autobahn.

194
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: A lot of curves, twists and turns, Pacific Coast Highway,

195
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 3: beautiful Malibu Canyon Road.

196
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: These are treacherous. They're scary, scary even for you know,

197
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: experienced drivers. So and then all the weather that's been

198
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: happening and all the different things. So we are in. No,

199
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: we're not pushing. I have no hurry to get him

200
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: out on the road. We've paid for the course. He

201
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: has the password and he knows he can do it,

202
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, for its online. It's online for the permitting.

203
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when I got my license, there was

204
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: no password, there was no online.

205
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: No, this was before you were hand cranking.

206
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: Occasionally the horse was dragging.

207
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: Right and you had to put him down, send him

208
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: to the glue factory. So I was taken to the

209
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: glue factory.

210
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: Horses I had to kill during my learning.

211
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: I saw one on the way in here. Just now.

212
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 3: It's a habit. It's just an addiction.

213
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: Or is it a hobby?

214
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: An addiction can be a hobby, could be yes, absolutely,

215
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: So it's it's fun, it takes up It fills my days.

216
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: If that's and that's really Isn't that all we're all

217
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: trying to do is fill our days? No, but so

218
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: we we allow you know, I've said to him in

219
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: your own time, right. But what I am noticing in

Speaker 1: I picture it that we're all on like our different

315
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: teams of our generations, not against each other, but like

316
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, softball league, community softball league. It's all in

317
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: good fun and we so wait, what what are what are?

318
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: What are you?

319
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: I'm a millennial?

320
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: You're a millennials. That's also yeah, which is now old?

321
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: Well my yeah, I have half brother and half sister

322
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: who they're not half they're my brother and sister but

323
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: just happened to be well you want to keep doing

324
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: their mom it's really what it is. No they The

325
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: reason I say that is because it gives it makes

326
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: you understand why they're so much younger than me, because

327
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: otherwise it's like what was your mom up to? No,

328
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: my dad, my stepmom? They are millennials. Also, just the

329
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: idea that they are some other generation. But you know

330
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: their parents, they're getting up there, they've got you know,

331
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: they're full grown adults.

332
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: You can't be a millennial early twenties anymore. It doesn't happen.

333
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: They're making their own. They're on their fourth dentist at

334
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: this point.

335
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: I think, I mean all millennials really are having teeth problems.

336
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 3: We're finally facing that our teeth aren't going to last.

337
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: That's right, they aren't going to rot. Our gums are

338
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: going to recede. These are the problems millennials are facing.

339
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: The only problems I've read.

340
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: Yes, that's I mean, your headline's everywhere. That's it millennials

341
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 3: and their gums.

342
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: Other than that, you have everything figured out, and bravo

343
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: to you. And you're standing on the shoulders of gen xers,

344
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: so you're welcome.

345
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 3: Boomers and gen xers laid the path other than for

346
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 3: our gums and teeth.

347
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: No other proba speaking of. And this might offend someone

348
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: in here. I don't know, and I may look like

349
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: a complete ass right now, but is one of your

350
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: cars outside the white car that has a sticker on

351
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: the back with a panda shooting an AK forty seven?

352
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: Oh my god, No, I guess probably not, But then

353
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: I thought maybe it was ironic. I am so fun

354
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: to know it's on my car. There is a what

355
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: car right out in front of your house with a

356
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: black sticker of a panda shooting an AK forty seven?

357
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: What what is that for? Well, I'm trying to understand.

358
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: So it could be like really serious environmentalists. It's like

359
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: making an ironic statement.

360
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 3: Right, maybe an eco terrorist.

361
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: All I know is whoever it is, I put a

362
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: note on their card. They're your next guest. I just

363
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: gave them the gate code. They're coming in.

364
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 3: They're booked, They're booked. Bumper stickers. I feel like I

365
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: are having kind of a renaissance right now. There's of

366
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 3: course the bumpersicker that says, stop honking. I'm listening to

367
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: what is it the Universal Jazz masterpiece?

368
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: This is too many words.

369
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 3: There's a I recently saw a bumpersickre that said, and

370
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: this might be an old bumper siccret said why litter,

371
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 3: shove it up your ass, which I thought was a

372
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: great bumper sec That is wonderful.

373
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: Also, I feel like, now that traffic is so bad

374
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: everywhere in all cities, we could do longer bumper We

375
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: could do chapters of books because you have more time

376
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: to read them.

377
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 3: That's a good idea. And it'll keep people's eyes off

378
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 3: their phone during traffic. Yes, give them another thing.

379
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: To look at, that's right, or adds on the back

380
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: of people's cars, video screens on the back those cars.

381
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: These are all Quibbi development. Well, I saw a car yesterday,

382
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: like a pickup truck, and he had taken it upon himself,

383
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: this gentleman, to do duct tape art. But it was

384
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: it said ultra maga, Oh boy, not ultra maga. And

385
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: he had some crosses in tape, some duct tape work.

386
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: And then he on the other side he wrote two genders.

387
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: Oh boy, yeah, two, So there's only two. So I

388
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: learned a lot.

389
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: And was that also done in tape?

390
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: All tape? This person is, by the way, I don't

391
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: know the last time you purchase colored duct tape. It's

392
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: not cheap.

393
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: No, it's the most expensive of the tapes.

394
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: It's an expensive tape.

395
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: Maybe it's stolen tape. Oh, I wouldn't put it past

396
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 3: this person, this guy. When you're doing tapework on your car,

397
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: there's a there's a a at my local target. I

398
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: don't know if the person is just kind of haunting

399
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: the target, if they're the manager, if they're in the

400
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: mall attached to it. It's the car is always there.

401
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 3: And the tapework on this car.

402
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: Oh, they have tapework too, pure.

403
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 3: Havoc across this car. I mean, there are a lot

404
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 3: of things that probably can't even be said on a

405
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 3: podcast religious not religious violent. But this person is at

406
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 3: that mall all the time. Okay, we're kind of I

407
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 3: feel like there's a fuse that's slowly counting down with

408
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: this person.

409
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: Any chance they're dead in the car, do we check

410
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: to see maybe the person is in the trunk? Just

411
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: do a home check of this car. Safety what they

412
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: called it, safety check check, a wellness wellness check, wellness jack.

413
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: I want to start doing that around my neighbors, just

414
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: to see their cool houses, the ones that like you're

415
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: you know, you're like, oh, what is that lamp? Do

00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: are good.

419
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 3: By that's a good way to get a peek in

420
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: or start baking.

421
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: All the oh we have. You know, in our neighborhood,

422
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: when I first moved there over twenty years ago, nobody

423
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: had gates. Nobody we had a circular driveway. Would just

424
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: you walk right up to the door. It was a neighborhood.

425
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: Right now everybody has gates, including us. It just you

426
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: see it start to happen and you're like, oh shit,

427
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: am I supposed to have a gate, so we do.

428
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: But so when someone rings the gate.

429
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: It's like, what is this startling?

430
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: It's startling. It shouldn't be because it's never been a fairy,

431
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: it's never been like a city that I'm aware of.

432
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: And yet the other day we got a ring from

433
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: one of the local Jewish groups handing out matsa for Passover.

434
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: Oh that's nice.

435
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: Well see this was my reaction. And my husband's Jewish.

436
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: My son is Jewish. We had our son, barman said

437
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: and I and I said, oh, lovely, there's the But

438
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: then my husband's like, don't eat that. How are you doing?

439
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: I go, but they're from the he goes, we don't

440
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: know that for sure, and I was like, good point.

441
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: I just assumed, like, oh, how sweet and probably, but

442
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: you do just eat food. It's open in a ziplock

443
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: from some random person who claims to be whatever.

444
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: Although if someone is going to go to the work

445
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 3: of making matsa to poison me.

446
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 1: Yes, go for it. You've earned it.

447
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 3: Oh, you're so right in the work, and you've thought

448
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: outside the box.

449
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: It's not like mauzzle. Yes for that idea. You're a mensch.

450
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: Put me out of my misery.

451
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, you would. You put in the extra work to

452
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 3: kill me.

453
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: You rang the gate. You won in every way.

454
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 3: I mean speaking of showing up with things that are

455
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 3: a little suspicious, or maybe things that shouldn't be trusted.

456
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 3: Wellness checks this kind of thing. I was really excited

457
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,399

00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 3: We heard your woodshoes coming up the cobblestones. But I

470
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: answered the door. Here you are holding a bag.

471
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: Carrie.

472
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: The podcast is called. I said, no gifts. You got

473
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 3: the emails.

474
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: I assume.

475
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 3: This looks like a gift. Is this a gift for me?

476
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: Well? I mean it. Yeah, I'm just gonna come out

477
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: and say yeah, but here's the thing I was taught now,

478
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: you don't ever go anywhere empty handed, And then this

479
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: is what I was taught. You always bring a gift,

480
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: and then the host is always going to say, oh,

481
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have brought, but they don't mean it. So

482
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't think you mean it. I think you're I

483
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: think you are secretly can't wait to get your grubby

484
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: little fingers into this bag.

485
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: This feels deeply unfair to me. This feels really really unfair.

486
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: Listen, you be the judge. We'll see what's in it.

487
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: If you like, you like, If you don't, you don't

488
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: call it a day?

00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,240

Speaker 1: Life is short. Here you can hear the quality of

00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,920

00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,359

Speaker 3: pull the tissue out.

510
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: Now there's three things in there.

511
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: Oh do they need to come out in any order?

512
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: Ah? Wow, that's a great question.

513
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: I'll feel around and see there's.

514
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: The loud crinkly one first.

515
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 3: Okay, this feels loud and that's it. Oh, this is

516
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 3: so cute. It's a miniature garden tools set or like

517
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 3: maybe not miniature. That sounds like it's for a mouse.

518
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: This is for a hobbit, a hobbit, that's yes. I

519
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: don't know if enough about you. I don't know if

520
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: you have a hobbit. If you don't have a hobbit,

521
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: I think you could still use it.

522
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: I'm I'm hobbit adjacent, all right, I'm around that hight.

523
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 3: I imagine I would fit in a.

524
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: Hobbit be the King of the Hobbits.

525
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 3: But sure, okay, I would be on a like a

526
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: Hobbit basketball team, right, power forward, that sort of thing.

527
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: This is very cute.

528
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: So it's like it is, I could use this for

529
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 3: indoor plants.

530
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: Indoor plants, or this is what I'm thinking. I want

531
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: to be very clear with you. The three items in

532
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: this bag were unintended to be used together. Oh however, however,

533
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: once I put them together, all of a sudden, a

534
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:05,479
Speaker 1: story started here. So here's what I'm thinking. You have that. Okay,

535
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: now the box. There's a box in reachide the bag,

536
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: so you have you have the mini gardening tools reaching

537
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: for a box, and then you have this again, had.

538
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: Come together as a story is going to be very

539
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 3: It's an LED party.

540
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: Line, yeah, a mini LED party line.

541
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: Right and again not mouse size. This is beginning to feel.

542
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: Okay, well that wasn't intended. No, no, no, no. When you

543
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: open the third you're going to get it.

544
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna get.

545
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: The story that was never intended. It makes no sense

546
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: that I've made up in my head.

547
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 3: Reaching for and this is the smallest thing in here,

548
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 3: so that's reaching pulling out. Oh what oh, I these

549
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 3: are miniature people. They're people people gins. What is people gins?

550
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

551
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 3: It's like a small bag, a five piece of.

552
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: Bag of people. It's a bag of people.

553
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 3: Is Jen's another word for people? I don't know, another language.

554
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: I don't know. Well, these are okay, so tell me

555
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 3: everything about this whole situation.

556
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is my thought, this is my

557
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: trying to make sense of it all. So these were

558
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: things I had sitting around in a box labeled gifts

559
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: that I led my pe Touch. So the party light

560
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: was something I thought, Oh, a kid might like that

561
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: for a birthday gift. The gardening tools came with a

562
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: plant stand that I bought on Amazon, and I went,

563
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: what you can't do? This doesn't These aren't useable, usable,

564
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: But I'll say them because maybe for a kid comes

565
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: over they want to do little gardening. We've got the

566
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: garden offensive. It's going to get better. It's going to

567
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: get better. That bag of people. My son was making

568
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: a model train little town. So those people are sized

569
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: for a model train village. Okay, okay, but here's my thought.

570
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: Hear me out. This has nothing to do with you

571
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: and your size, your grand king of the hobbit stature,

572
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: says the uncomfortably tall lady together to me, this is

573
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: a night and what this night is for you? On

574
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: when you're bored, you throw a disco for the little people,

575
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: and then you bury him.

576
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 3: They go too hard on the party, they go too

577
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: hard on the part.

578
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: That's it.

579
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: They're in a warehouse. They're having the time of their

580
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 3: life already, look already wedding. They've got this huge disco

581
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: ball or a party light.

582
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: Or maybe there's one mini hot dog left, and they

583
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: fight over it and they fight to the death.

584
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: They're out of their mind. Yeah, and they want that

585
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 3: hot dog.

586
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: How fun is this? Right? You find them dead, you

587
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: bury them with your little but you don't bury them

588
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: with a big that would be aggressive.

589
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: You're like, not a mass grave for the.

590
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: Party when you're not some kind of sick Oh no, no, no,

591
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: no no, You use a delicate little hoe.

592
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: Each one gets their own little graves. Yes, and their

593
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 3: families are able to visit school trips to you know,

594
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 3: warn children about the dangers of party drug.

595
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: Do you see? And you could even open this up

596
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: as a tourist attraction and make a little money on

597
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: the side.

598
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 3: Well, I'm looking. I'm always looking for new revenue streams.

599
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 3: I don't.

600
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: I hate to give a gift and at the same time, go,

601
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: you're welcome, but.

602
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: You're welcome, you're not getting a thank you from me.

603
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: I do a fun thing around gifts. I think it's fun.

604
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: Most other people don't think it's fun, and that's kind

605
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: of what's even more fun about it when you go

606
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: to I always find it funny when you There are

607
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: certain events where the gifts are opened in front of people, right,

608
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: sometimes kids parties, although people stop doing that because it's

609
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: kind of obnoxious. Showers for some reason, we all we

610
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: gather around and one at a time they're like, oh shit,

611
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: this is going to be and everybody, oh, wedding and

612
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: baby right right. So my go to bit because at

613
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: a shower, especially, you don't know everyone. Birthday party, maybe

614
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: because you're all mutual friends. Whatever shower is multi generational.

615
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: There's no way you've met all their aunts, their cousins,

616
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: their boss. There's just no way. So my favorite thing

617
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: to do is when the rich aunt gives the present

618
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: that she's so excited and everyone hushes, hushes, she hushes

619
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: everybody after it's opened, and everyone oohs in oz, I

620
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: like to say loudly, that's from both of us.

621
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: That's incredible.

622
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: One hundred percent of the time reaction is death, bullet eyeballs,

623
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: head whips around. No it's not, No, it isn't. Oh,

624
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: it's so wonderful.

625
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: And are you getting the no, it isn't from the

626
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 3: great antwers.

627
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh, furious and curious because she took a car

628
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: to Neeman's to specifically pick out that cashmi and baby

629
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: blanket and have the name that had nothing to do

630
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: with you. I take equal credit, and I start and

631
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: I start giving facts about the gifts that are not true.

632
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: It's from Italy. I'm so glad you like it. We

633
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: were worried she might already have one.

634
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 3: That is such a good idea, so fun, because no

635
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 3: one should be doing that anymore. No, it's so uncomfortable

636
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 3: for everybody and everyone to feel like, oh, I'm not

637
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 3: close enough. I didn't get a better gift.

638
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: I didn't get the right thing. I didn't get the

639
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: bigger thing. I didn't get the more thoughtful thing. It's

640
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: not right to open it later, paus. Nobody cares. Nobody cares.

641
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it is the other side of it, though,

642
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 3: is weird to me as well, where there's kind of

643
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 3: this mounting pile of gifts, that's this looming mystery that

644
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 3: none of us will ever learn, what will happen when

645
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 3: we leave.

646
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: I love a pile of gifts. I love a pile

647
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: of gifts, and my other bit if the gifts are

648
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: not being opened. Then as we're walking past the gifts,

649
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: I turn to a relative or a friend who clearly

650
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: isn't going to get the bit, and I say, I'm

651
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: going to start opening these. Are you with me? And

652
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: again they don't love it. And the more they don't

653
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: love it, the more I love it.

654
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,479
Speaker 3: I think I support that one hundred percent. I'm fully

655
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: behind you there.

656
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: I've also sat down at a mall or a high

657
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: end hotel under the Christmas tree and started pretending to

658
00:33:55,120 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: open the gifts, just sitting crisscross applesaucetar to. Usually the

659
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: security gets a kick out of it, but not always.

660
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 3: I feel like low level. I don't want to call

661
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 3: it crime, but mischief like that should be happening more often.

662
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: I think so too. I'm although with all the like

663
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 1: prank print like rank tick talkers, that's oh prank tik talkers,

664
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: all these kids these days, these zoomers.

665
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 3: I'm back peddling. I'm back peddling. None of this should

666
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 3: be happening, absolutely not. No, thank you for not having

667
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 3: fun in public, especially not on camp.

668
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: Bits in the grocery store. Please.

669
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 3: We were just recovering from the flash mobs of the

670
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 3: early tens.

671
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to be in a flash mob so good

672
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: that I missed it. I missed the era of flash mob.

673
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 3: We're going to come back. They're going to come back.

674
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 3: Everything in a cycle. I'm guessing twenty twenty eight, the

675
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 3: flash mob returns in a huge way. Another uh, what's

676
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 3: his name? Mendel? Howie Mendeli meant I was gonna say,

677
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: Harvey Mandel. Howie Mandel had a flash mob show. They're

678
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 3: going to reboot it. I'm telling you they're going to

679
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: reboot that. It came at the end of flash mobs.

680
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 3: I think it was a little like, oh waited too

681
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 3: long on this.

682
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm the loser that still watches like the Oprah flash

683
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: mob and balls every time.

684
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 3: What did Oprah do as a flash mob?

685
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: They did one on her? Oh my god, this is

686
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: so embarrassing that I'm telling the story and with such excitement.

687
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: But I am telling you google it. She did an

688
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: episode of her show which was like one hundredth episode

689
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: or six hundred that, whatever the heck it was, and

690
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: they shut down the whole center of Chicago for it. Okay,

691
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: her apparently she did not know, but her entire staff

692
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: knew that. The entire audience all the way down the

693
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: center of Chicago was a flash mob and they had

694
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: black eyed peas playing Oh boy, that Tonight's gonna be

695
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: And so she's looking out in the audience from the stage.

696
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: She notices these two people in front are dancing. She's like, yeah, yeah,

697
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: and then more people doing it, and by the time

698
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 1: it's over thousands of people. What are all doing? I'm

699
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: telling you, if you don't cry, you have no soul.

700
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 3: Your set up by the military.

701
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: They do this and then they at the end, she

702
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: had a heart attack and died. I don't know if

703
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: you heard about this. This was several years ago. It

704
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: was a plan to kill Oprah. It was kind of

705
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: a it was and the new one is just an AI.

706
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I thought everybody knew this. So weird.

707
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: Maybe for assassination, no individual wanted to get their hands sturdy,

708
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 3: so they created a flash mob to.

709
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 1: Do and did it with music and dance steps. Wow,

710
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: that's fascinating. No, it is if you're a nerd like me,

711
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: it uh got me?

712
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: Got you?

713
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Got me? Guys? You got me?

714
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: Do we think Oprah didn't know?

715
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: You know what? I can't believe we're talking about this.

716
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm happy to be talking about this.

717
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: Watch the thing. I do think she did not know.

718
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: That is a huge.

719
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 3: Gamble, huge massive gamble.

720
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: But you have Oprah. She an actress, so if she

721
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: did know, she can play along. They're not going to

722
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: you know what saying, right?

723
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 3: But I mean if she didn't know, that could have

724
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: gone in any direction. Yeah that I mean she could

725
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 3: have strangled someone to death.

726
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: She and knowing her on camera could have happened. You

727
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: get a car, You get a car? What the wow?

728
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 3: I've got to look that up. I mean, flash mobs

729
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 3: count on it. Twenty twenty eight. You should start preparing,

730
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 3: start thinking of ideas they're going to come back. Maybe

731
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 3: you should host a flash mob show.

732
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: I think that's a terrible idea that maybe I should do.

733
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,479
Speaker 1: Get my pot of berets in order.

734
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: Do you know what I was going to ask you? Yes,

735
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 3: So in this bag of gardening tools, there's obviously the spade. Yes,

736
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 3: some people might call it a small shovel, right, what

737
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 3: is then there's the other thing that's the claw thing.

738
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: It's like a little rake.

739
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 3: Is that what we're calling that? Is that?

740
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: A time? Does say anything on it? No, anything, It

741
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't be an English.

742
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 3: I've always wondered, but there must be an official title

743
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 3: for that.

744
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna this is going to be surprising to you,

745
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: but these are apparently made in China.

746
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 3: They're very cute.

747
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: They really are very cute. I wonder what that.

748
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 3: There must be an official name on at least you

749
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 3: have any idea with the small claw, there's this.

750
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: I think it's just a hand rake or a mini rake.

751
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: I've been looking at aut drake mini rate. I love

752
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: that you were already on the case, always always on.

753
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 3: At least was just doing some private shopping for themselves.

754
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 3: Exactly do you do any gardening yourself?

755
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: Funny you should ask no. But the reason why it's

756
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: funny should ask is because it's my husband's whole, like

757
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: he's just all about it. We call it. We have

758
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: a we call a little farm in our backyard called

759
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: Silver farms.

760
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 3: Oh, very cute.

761
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: My husband grows everything you could possibly imagine. He completely

762
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: has a green thumb. And for a couple of years,

763
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: just for funzies, he was selling our tomatoes to local restaurants. Wow,

764
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, like fancy little right right, baskets of tomatoes.

765
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 1: And our whole neighborhood was in a really fun fire

766
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: called the Woolsey Fire. Stuff years ago. So we did

767
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: not lose our home where our roof had to be replaced,

768
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: part of our landscaping died all a bunch of different stuff. Yes,

769
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: and we lost two chickens. We have one left, Betty,

770
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: and she is a survivor. She is such a badass.

771
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 3: The things that chicken has seen, the.

772
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: Things that chicken has seen. She still laying eggs. She's

773
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: she's incredible.

774
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 3: Wow, she didn't let that stop it for her for

775
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 3: a minute.

776
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: I should have brought her. Where did she?

777
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 3: You shouldn't speaking of future guests here.

778
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: She is now, Ladies and gentlemen, she's carrying a small

779
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: bag castaway.

780
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 3: Okay, how did she survive the fire? Uh?

781
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: Just wandering around, just hanging out, wandering around. We have

782
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: several friends who's coops burned and the chickens didn't know

783
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: what to do, of course. Yeah, she's just there, wow,

784
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: kicking it.

785
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 3: And so the but the fire burned down the garden.

786
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: No, no, it didn't burn down the garden. Some people's gardens,

787
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: many people's gardens are neighbors on both sides and across

788
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: the street.

789
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 3: Sound like you may have had something to do.

790
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: With the fire, you know what, it's it's debatable. It's

791
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: a whole I'll give you this.

792
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 3: It's hard to pin down an arsonism.

793
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: You just don't know, just because I was practicing my

794
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: homemade fireworks. And there's no proof. No, but it Uh,

795
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: the water had to be off for several months. Oh,

796
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: so things died and then when they did come back on,

797
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: there were so many rocks in the water lines that

798
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: all the sprinkler lines blew. Wow, because you know, it

799
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: was a mess. It was just a mess. So they

800
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: came on and then they weren't usable, and and we

801
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: had bigger fish to fry than keeping our garden alive,

802
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: you know, And we were out for a year.

803
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: And wow, but he's back with the garden.

804
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: Oh, he's back. This year's back better than ever.

805
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 3: So see, like seasonal vegetables all kinds of things.

806
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: Seasonal depends. My husband's a cinematographer, so during the year

807
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: when he's doing shows, it's like, you know, full on,

808
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: but we'll have pumpkins and and eggplant and stuff out

809
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 1: there in the winter that's you know, things that are

810
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: fun to have, just a couple of things. But in

811
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: the summer, full on.

812
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 3: Wow, And are you using all the vegetables? Are you

813
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 3: giving them away?

814
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: Both? They're there because they don't trickle in, you know,

815
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: that's the hard part there there, and they're already to

816
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: be too many. Yeah. Right, But at any given time,

817
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: if we had any right now, I would.

818
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 3: Have probably some sort of first produce.

819
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: I would have is harsh, but I would have. Now

820
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: next time, maybe I won't because of.

821
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 3: The third time. We'll look forward to a third time.

822
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

823
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: Favorite vegetable is this something you ask everybody? Yeah, this

824
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 3: is a question that had.

825
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 1: Been in the email, so I could have planned an answer.

826
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: Favorite vegetable I I eat like left my own devices.

827
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: I eat like an eight year old left home alone

828
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: in the seventies. So favorite vegetable is like, like, is

829
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: it like, what's your favorite? You know, tooth extraction? Is it?

830
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:19,160

833
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 3: of asparagus, to be honest.

834
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: I like asparagus themed asparagus. What about you? You say favorite?

835
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: Is you get excited about a vegetable? Well, no, okay.

836
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 3: I mean I will say with asparagus, I like it

837
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 3: when it's just asparagus. But when we're putting in a

838
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 3: sandwich or like an omelet, like the texture doesn't work

839
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 3: at all too much, that's too stringy and mushy, and

840
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 3: your teeth don't know what to do with it. Favorite

841
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 3: vegetable for me? I would do we count like a

842
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 3: actually bell pepper? Okay, love a bell pepper?

843
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: Great?

844
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 3: Do we count a pepper as a vegetable? I guess

845
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 3: we do. Do we count berry as a.

846
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: Fri They're called night Shade vegetables.

847
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 3: Oh I love that name.

848
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: The drama is so dramatic. They're like, listen, listen, bitch,

849
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: We're not just vegetables. We're not just one of the

850
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: veggie tails. We're the night Shades. And they have like

851
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: a theme song.

852
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 3: Night Shade should be like the eightist veggie tails. That

853
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 3: makes sense to me.

854
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are the their eggplant, their bell pepper, tomatoes,

855
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: I think too.

856
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like tomatoes do fall into a night shade.

857
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: Not to be like an old lady about it, but

858
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: they also are slightly more inflammatory than.

859
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very true. But I'll eat a green pepper,

860
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 3: yellow pepper, red pepper, orange pepper.

861
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: They're great.

862
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 3: I think those are the four categories delicious.

863
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: They add beauty to a salad. They're gorgeous, Papa delish.

864
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 3: You can throw them in a fajida. You're eating them plain.

865
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 3: There's nothing to complain about.

866
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: Eating them with dip. I just have to let you

867
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: know that tobacco is also considered a night shade. Well,

868
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: all three of us are smoking right now. I love

869
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: a night shade. Oh I miss it. Wow.

870
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 3: Interesting tobacco same category as a tomato.

871
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: Your bowl right then, guys, it's time to get back

872
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: on the train.

873
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 3: That's all. This is a pro smoking podcast.

874
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: If you've fallen off the train, or you haven't joined

875
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: the train yet, come aboard. It's a grand old time.

876
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 3: We hope you're lighting up right now.

877
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 1: Right now. There's lots of ways you can do the gum,

878
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: you can do the mints. You can do the vape,

879
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: you can do the roll your owns, fun shapes, fun colors.

880
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 3: I will say the gum I've never smoked, but the

881
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 3: gum appeals. Nicotine gum appeals to me because it's in

882
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 3: that the type of package you have to pop it out.

883
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 3: I love the package and you can't get a regular

884
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 3: gum with that package. But that's by far the best

885
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 3: gum package.

886
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 1: It is. But have you ever tried nicotine gum?

887
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 3: No? Is it disgusting?

888
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 1: H it is disgusting. It's funny because I was talking

889
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: with Pete Holmes about this. He was talking about how

890
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: he loves nicotine gum, and I said, oh, yeah, did

891
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: it help you quit? So he goes, no, I never

892
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: smoked what That's what I said? Oh no, yes, he

893
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,959
Speaker 1: just went right to it. Because and don't ever try

894
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: it unless you want to become addicted to nicotine, because

895
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: that's it's it is obviously in essence of nicotine delivery system.

896
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: And it's fucking wonderful because it's nicotine. Why aren't more

897
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: people doing that? Because they dead?

898
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 2: No?

899
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a crazy cycle, right, So it's wonderful.

900
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: You get it's you get the fun of chewing gum

901
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: and then you get a little rush and then you

902
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: have to do it again and you go crazy, and

903
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: it's expensive and it's all the things. So just it's

904
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: a slippery slope.

905
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 3: Guys, flavor flavor wise, what are we looking at here?

906
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 3: Do they throw some mint in for you?

907
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: But it's all It tastes like I tried it one

908
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: time and I was like, yeah, no, thank you, it's

909
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: it's sorry Nicorette. Because I am sponsored by them, my.

Speaker 1: But I just had the.

Speaker 1: be honest, that's my car. I just wanted to test

917
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: the waters and see if you guys liked it. I

918
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: was really excited.

919
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 3: Actually, the reaction wasn't big enough for you to be scared.

920
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 3: And now you're coming out Yeah no, Monty, you know

Speaker 1: It's you get you know me guys night shades. Yeah,

924
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: but no, it tastes like a like artificial mint, and

925
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: then you're chewing. You're chewing like, oh okay, and then

926
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, someone shoots you in the eye

927
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: with like pepper hot pepper spray. Oh weird. It's like

928
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: that's the nicotine delivery. And then your brain goes, oh wow,

929
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: I can do all things. This dinner party just got

930
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: more fun. These people are more interesting. I'm going to

931
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: do the laundry and learn to juggle. And then it's

932
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:06,239

00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 3: a mirror and then I don't know what lies behind

1087
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 3: the door.

1088
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 1: You don't want to know what that mirror has already seen.

1089
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 3: Yes, I just want to experience it firsthand with my

1090
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 3: eyes first.

1091
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: Never get out of when you are checking out your

1092
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,959
Speaker 1: new Fedora and that mirror about ready to go out

1093
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: in your zoot suit the Big Dance Swing Revival. You

1094
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: don't want to remember that older gentleman in his brazier

1095
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: and his adult diaper that you saw, because that mirror

1096
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: saw that, and that mirror can't unsee those things.

1097
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 3: Well, but what I'm saying is I want to see

1098
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 3: that man in his bra and adult diaper by on

1099
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 3: my own. He answers the door, and I'm like, great.

1100
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't want the mirror for the first time. I

1101
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:53,919
Speaker 1: want I don't need to breve you take.

1102
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 3: I don't need a preview with my Craigslist purchases. I

1103
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 3: need a shock.

1104
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 1: I need to never saw this coming. Yes, Like, yeah,

1105
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I didn't know this was going to be

1106
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,879
Speaker 1: an episode of Hoarders, but it is exactly and by

1107
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: the way, your grandmother's not breathing under that stack of

1108
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 1: top of soup cans in that car in front of target.

1109
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: In that car in front of target, you should go

1110
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: get her.

1111
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 3: I buy a lot of mirrors out out of cars

1112
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 3: in front of target.

1113
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: But she is doing great tapework.

1114
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 3: Okay, so you definitely missed that point.

1115
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: Which is hard to hear humiliating.

1116
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 3: But let's try for a third one. This is from

1117
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 3: someone named Katie. Katie suggested give her a curse a

1118
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 3: chain restaurant where you get a KFC bucket worth of spaghetti.

1119
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 1: Oh, what's her name? Who is this person? Katie Katie? Listen,

1120
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:56,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna appeel the honey. Listen, sweetheart, sweet sweetheart, sit down.

1121
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: If you're not already sitting down, this is gonna honey,

1122
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:06,919
Speaker 1: No listen. I don't know about you, but there's some

1123
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 1: sensory stuff that I can't get past. Like I don't

1124
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: love a spork brushing against uh styrofoam. This might be

1125
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: old references. Do not give me a paper straw. Don't

1126
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: do it.

1127
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 3: You're not on with a paper straw.

1128
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: No, I get it. Dolphins they're great, but.

1129
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 3: We've gotten to a point where you don't need a

1130
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 3: paper straw anymore.

1131
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: Fantastic, And I'm all for that. But don't give me

1132
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: these these sensory eating so slippery wet spaghetti in a

1133
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: cardboard bucket, because that implies that I'm meeting it out

1134
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: of the bucket. I don't care what you say. I

1135
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: don't care if I'm right or I'm wrong. If you're

1136
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: on Katie's side, you are dead to me. I mean it, Katie,

1137
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: I am pissed.

1138
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 3: Oh you're looking at a corpse. I'm dead to you.

1139
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: It's a gift. I get the hoe and the raki

1140
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: whatever the little raiki thing is called. Lay down you

1141
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: and Katie side by side. No, I'm not coming to

1142
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: your party where you're having spaghetti in a cardboard bucket.

1143
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: Talk to me, No, really, I want to hear your side.

1144
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 3: How is KFC the only business that's serving food in

1145
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 3: a bucket. If there's a company that wants to throw

1146
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 3: some shi in a bucket.

1147
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: It's not wet. I don't care. I want everything in

1148
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: a bucket. Why are you putting wet food in a pocket.

1149
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 3: It comes in buckets.

1150
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 1: Popcorn is not wet.

1151
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 3: If you get too much, butter it certainly is. It's

1152
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 3: a soupy souper food.

1153
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: Argue the popcorn is soupy. If you're eating soupy popcorn,

1154
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: you have bigger problems.

1155
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 3: I'm telling you every business should at least offer the bucket.

1156
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 3: Maybe it's not required, but say you know what you

1157
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 3: want to take, your bucket of spaghetti, your bucket of

1158
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:56,919
Speaker 3: I don't know, taco meat.

1159
00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: Go for it.

1160
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 3: I think that should be an option. Maybe it's an

1161
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 3: up charge. That's an idea for a company if they want.

1162
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: To fancy rich people who like wet food in buckets.

1163
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: If you like fancy rich food in buckets, we've got

1164
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: it for you. If you've got an extra thirty four

1165
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: cents to spare, come me spaghetti at a bucket. I

1166
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: think I heard they're doing that at No Boots. It's

1167
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: just oysters in a bucket, Just sushi in a bucket, sushi,

1168
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: but a bucket, Oh, sushi with a spork. You're onto.

1170
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: know we have one customer. At least it only takes

1171
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: one customer. That's a business. He tries it.

1172
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 3: First rule of business school, that only takes.

1173
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: Once one I don't think that's the first rule.

1174
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 3: Of business one customer.

1175
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you've been to business school, and I

1176
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: don't think that's a rule.

1177
00:59:52,440 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 3: Hello Sharks, today, I have a product that only one

1178

Speaker 1: Fail gloriously. That's what town is. An acting school.

1185
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 3: It got to a point that you're threatening to kill

1205
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 3: Ah, but you know I do my best.

1206
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can help you with my

1207
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: Bachelor of Fine Arts and Experimental theater background.

1208
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 3: Okay, this says dear bridge or in guest. I need

1209
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 3: some advice on writing thank you cards? Are they really necessary?

1210
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 3: I had a four month old baby and have received

1211
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 3: a lot of unsolicited gifts for him. I bought a

1212
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 3: stack of thank you cards with the intention of writing

1213
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 3: and sending them, but I'm a working mom and do

1214
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 3: not have time to write them, address them and say

1215
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 3: them off. I have a baby. Is everyone really expecting

1216
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 3: a written thank you card? Can I just be a

1217
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 3: person that doesn't write thank you cards? For context? I

1218
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 3: never sent wedding gift thank yous either. Any thoughts are appreciated,

1219
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 3: and that's from Sylvia.

1220
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: Sylvia, I would say this if you didn't write thank

1221
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: you cards for your wedding. It's a wonder you have

1222
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: any friends to write thank you cards too for your baby.

1223
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I'm speaking as my mother from the grave,

1224
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: but seriously, it is generational and it is changing. But

1225
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, I mean, I don't you think

1226
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 1: or what do you think? Okay, So if it is generational, yeah,

1227
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: well we don't know what.

1228
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 3: First of all, we don't know what generation Sylvia is.

1229
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: This is true, Sylvia, if she could be with a newborn, look,

1230
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: things are anything as anything as possible. You never know, uh, Sylvia,

1231
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I mean I think I think the answer

1232
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: is yes, of course, if you can. So let's come

1233
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: up with some options. The baby could do them.

1234
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 3: The baby, I mean, you've got a little worker already.

1235
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, I don't want to assume anything, but if

1236
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: you had this baby with another adult human, what the hell, Carl,

1237
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's Carl, your ass Carl. First of all,

1238
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: you're blowing it. The baby was just born and you've

1239
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: already blown it. I smell divorce. I smell if anything else, Sylvia,

1240
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: you can stay with Bridger. I'm pretty sure there's This

1241
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: house is fantastic if you need a place to go.

1242
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 3: I have hundreds of bedrooms.

1243
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: At least hundreds of bedrooms lost.

1244
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 3: You got lost coming in.

1245
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't even I still can't find you. I'm down

1246
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: the hall. I hear you through the head, through the labyrinth,

1247
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: So I don't know. If you can you should. If

1248
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: you can't, then listen. You're taking your time to write

1249
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: into a podcast. You have some time.

1250
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 3: Interesting point, very interesting point.

1251
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I'm starting to get suspicious of you. Sylvia.

1252
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 3: At the root of this, I think Sylvia is a

1253
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 3: deeply ungrateful person.

1254
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't think she has a baby.

1255
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 3: I don't know that. I mean, I think she has

1256
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 3: an email address and a plan.

1257
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: Well, she's got hacked in, and I have her IP

1258
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: address and her home address, and we're headed over there. Now,

1259
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: where's the baby? What are you doing lounging around drinking martinis?

1260
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: It's four o'clock on a Tuesday.

1261
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 3: This is now to catch a predator style show. And Sylvia,

1262
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 3: we nailed you. We absolutely nailed you. Oh, Sylvia is

1263
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 3: actually a forty six year old guy, and he's headed

1264
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 3: to the slammer.

1265
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: We've been catfished. I saw it coming a mile away.

1266
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 1: If catfish taught us. Nothing is named Sylvia, certainly no

1267
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: one with a baby.

1268
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 3: We answered the question perfectly. Then, I don't know that

1269
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 3: there's anything left to say to Sylvia.

1270
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 1: Sylvia. I'll help you. I love writing thank you cards.

1271
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 3: Once you actually get into the rhythm of it. Yeah,

1272
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 3: it's fun. You get to think about the other person,

1273
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 3: say something nice.

1274
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: How often do you write with your hand and a pen?

1275
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 3: I write, well, I have fallen off, but I write

1276
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 3: in my journal once a day and it's nearly impossible.

1277
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 3: My hand is weak.

1278
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Thank you for saying so. Because I started to worry,

1279
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: I had to write. Listen. I can't even remember what

1280
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 1: this is, how little I do, But I had to

1281
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: write something the other day, a card. I wrote a

1282
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 1: birthday card, and I remember thinking, am I having a stroke?

1283
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: But it was just like the act of And I'm like,

1284
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: is that a G? That's a G? Right, that's how

1285
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: you write it, just a plain old G. But it

1286
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: is amazing how quickly our brain sort of atrophy in

1287
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: certain areas of things that seem so obvious.

1288
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean, I get into that journal and it's

1289
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 3: the writing of a seven year old.

1290
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's horrifying mine too.

1291
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 3: Maybe I should start practicing, get into calligraphy or something. Maybe,

1292
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 3: but my hand is weak. All of her hands are awaken.

1293
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 3: Someone's going to take advantage of that. Eventually, someone's going

1294
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 3: to swoop in and see how this weak handed.

1295
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Well, look what happened to the t rex. He's gone interesting,

1296
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: those little little t rexy hands stopped writing. You got

1297
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: a hold of a typewriter, and look at him now.

1298
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: And when I say look at him now, you can't

1299
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: look at him now because he's dead. Case in, points Sylvia,

1300
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: those little t rexy hands of yours or they're going

1301
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: to fall off. And what good are you going to

1302
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: be to that? Baby? Wow?

1303
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 3: So I'm glad, Sylvia wrote in me too. Ultimately I'm glad.

1304
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 3: I'm not thankful.

1305
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: You do miss her? She's dead.

1306
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 3: No, only we had valued our time with Sylvia.

1307
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: She had the greatest questions. Remember when she asked about

1308
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: the thank you cards.

1309
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 3: You know, you take people for granted while they're alone,

1310
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 3: and then they're gone, and you think, oh, if only

1311
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 3: we had just enjoyed those.

1312
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: Moments, favored one more moment with good old Sylvie. I

1313
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: called her, Sylvie, Well, you were very close, It's sure

1314
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: for Sylvia.

1315
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 3: You were very close. You were romantically linked at one point.

1316
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: Well, Carl and I had a thing and she got

1317
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 1: all freaked down. Then she's like, you know what, you

1318
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: can have him? And I was like, that's a friend.

1319
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: That's a friend, Sylvie for.

1320
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 3: You, Sylvie, mother friend, catfish.

1321
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: Wife of what are they called on handmaid's tail.

1322
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 3: Of Carl, wife of Carl, bless his name or something.

1323
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: Like bless would be the fruit of Carl.

1324
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 3: Uh. Fantastic. Well, thank you for helping me.

1325
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're welcome.

1326
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:46,840

1328
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 1: time with you too.

1329
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 3: And now I've got not only a little party that's

1330
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 3: going to go wrong. I can do many gardening. I've

1331
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 3: got a light piece that I could throw my own

1332
01:07:58,400 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 3: adult sized party.

1333
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: Sure I can.

1334
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 3: I'm all over the place.

1335
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: With the little people. You could put anywhere.

1336
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 3: They could be, anywhere they could find cake toppers.

1337
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: Just don't eat them. This is a very dangerous cake topper.

1338
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: It is. Oh don't give it to the doggie, know

1339
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: the dog. Oh God, you're going to be sending me

1340
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: a vet bill because that thing's going to come out

1341
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:18,839
Speaker 1: in the in the colon.

1342
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 3: I am going to sue your ass off.

1343
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: God, this has been a disaster.
