  Speaker 3: getting the emails from the gun website, from the bridger
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I mentioned at the show, I've decided not to unsubscribe
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: because I've realized that really lets me keep an eye
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: on this person's purchases. So should he, you know, start
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: making alarming choices, I can alert his family the proper authorities.

• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Concur you're here just for a brief time, so I

• 2:02
  Speaker 2: me an activity.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Wonderful What you do in LA when you don't have
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: anything going on.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I haven't been here for a while. Sometimes I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: meet up with friends. A lot of my friends are
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: out of town right now, so doing a lot of
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: staring into space. But I'm here on a little job.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: So I was doing that yesterday in the day before Days,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: my first free day. Oh so I was just walking
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: around the neighborhood that I'm saying.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: And the weather is not quite as as it was,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: very nice. It's got a breeze. I think it's about
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: eighty two, which is kind of the ideal summer temperature
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: for me. Yes, there's still I thought school was out,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: but it sounds like the school children they're trapped at
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: the school.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe there's a day camp happening.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: There may be a day camp or an child training
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: or yeah something. I don't know what they do at
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: school Army training. How are you doing.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Do you remember the first time we met.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, we met at a swanky ski lodge in Park City, Utah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I feel like that was must have been such an
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: alarming interaction for you.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: No, because okay, first of all, I knew your name
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: because I followed you on Twitter, which it was then
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: called and I loved your I don't know how you
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: came across my feed or whatever they call it, but anyway,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I loved all of your quips and comments since I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: followed you and I had no idea who you were
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: or anything. And then you approached me in the swanky
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: ski lodge lobby and you said your name was Bridger.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh my gosh, I love you. One
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: of those kind of things.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I need to correct the history a little bit here,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: because Jim was with.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Me right and I didn't know him yet.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: You didn't know him, but we saw we were just
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: we had been on a drive. It was the winter time.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: We had been driving, and I don't know why we stopped.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I probably had to pee, because that's every twenty hotel. Look,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: if I have an opportunity, I gotel.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Like the swankiest hotel. I don't want people to make
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I usually roll like this, but this was my once
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: a year back then. This is my once a year split.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Well, we walked up one just throwing cash into the
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: fireplace exactly.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: That's what it's like.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, but I guess we must have stopped for me
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: to use the restroom. I can't imagine others station. Oh
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: my god, I didn't get.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: To They have a whole like Smores cart. It's like
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Willie Wanka situation. Anyway, go ahead, go ahead.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: God, I've got to get to this place.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: We don't just pee there. We have the smorest cart. Anyway,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: go on.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I was with Jim. I was working on Commissimid at
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the time, but we hadn't met. You were on that
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: season but not in my episode, so we hadn't actually met.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, that's what.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, now I remember, and we followed each other
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: on Twitter but did not know each other. And of
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: course Jim takes this bit of information and says, well,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you have to say hi to her. Of course, it's
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: like this woman is on vacation. I'm leaving her alone.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: But this is how it goes in every interaction with
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: him and me is I'm pushed into it. So I
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: just want people to know I don't just approach people
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: on their vacations.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, but I was very excited to meet you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: You were so wonderful because.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Now I remember, yes, you were a kimmy and maybe
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that's why. Anyway, No, I was, I mean I flipped
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: out to meet you, so it all worked out.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Were you skiing?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Are you an active skier?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Kind of like now now I go like once a year,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: but I grew up kind of skiing. I mean it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: like the one sport I was kind of okay at
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: but I'm probably not now. But anyway, but I go
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: because I just like the whole vibe.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Right, you know. And you grew up learning to ski
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: in Massachusetts.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we would go up to New Hampshire. How is
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the skiing there, Well, it's it's kind of it's very
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: icy and people's skiing jeans. It was very like like
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: we would go up every weekend with friends and just
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: like it was. I don't I know, this sounds weird
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to say, because I right now like skiing became like
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: this very like rich person thing, right, But back then
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: it was a little more janky in Massachusetts. So anyway, Yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: so it's a lot harder out there because it's it's icy.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Did it take you a long time to learn?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I started when I was a kid, So I
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: don't really those things, you know. I want to, like, like,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I have a kid, and I want him to learn
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: everything when he's a kid, because whatever it is, like music,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: language is like like those things are really hard to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: learn as adult.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Nearly impossible.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I mean I never quite picked up the language thing,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: you know anyway. So yeah, so you want to you
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: want to expose your kids everything.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: And so as a skier, now do you feel like
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: you're a decent skier?
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I'm okay. I don't go down the black diamonds.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: But you're going up to everything. What's the closest of
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: blue or red blue? I can do a blue blue.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: That's that's difficult.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Ski Blue's fine.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Wow. Do you feel like your kid's better than you?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: No, because we don't go that often.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Oh right, the whole history.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: You know, he's he's really into basketball. He's not that sweet. Yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it's a once in a while thing.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Did you ever play basketball?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: No? No, I didn't. I'm a horrible athlete.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: You're in good company.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Actually, I did the ancestry DNA thing, and now they
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: give you traits too. What Yeah, so they tell you
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: what traits. It's like stuff like you like cilantro or
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you have wet earwax. I'm not kidding, but this just
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: came up in my thing. But one thing is said
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: like athletic ability, and it said like lower athletic about it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I was like, I knew it, Like I didn't need
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: to see that in prank because I knew it. I'm
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: a terrible athlete.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: They broached you.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: All my friends from growing up are really good athletes,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: like all of them, and I never was.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: It was just it's a thing that I'm not a
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: good athlete. Even now when we go on like lady trips,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: they'll wake up at like seven am, like let's go
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: for a three mile run. I'm like, oh God, can
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I please hang out with the loafers?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: People of doing that in their personal time, they just
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: know their friends are around it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: So vacation no no, no running.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Running and whatever, working out all.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: That early morning exercise on vacation all into that. That's
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: a problem. So you're getting all of these traits now.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I'm actually kind of interested in getting into this ancestry website,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: giving them my all of my.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Person I didn't really think of that part of it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: But yeah, well they say like if you if you're
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: a night owl, if you like dancing, I'm not killing
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: all this stuff, which I do, and it's like I
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: do I do?
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Did it feel mostly accurate?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I think?
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: So what about Cilantro? Do you like Selan?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Oh? I like Cilantro? It said I didn't, So that's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Oh that's a real fifty got really boring Cilanto anyway, Sorry,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: that's a bust on myself. Not I knew.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Okay. I wonder how they figure out the dancing thing
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: that makes zero I know, I know it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Also like extrovert, I think is part of which I am,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: And it said so I would be.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: And wow, I feel like that must just be a
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: lot of guessing.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how they do it. I don't
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: know which gene you know, little segment counts for some of.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: This stuff dancing.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: You're kind of interested in it?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you do like dancing? I do.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm not saying I'm good at it, but I
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: do you like it?
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: How often are you're dancing?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Not? Not very often? Get events.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's me when I'm at a wedding time
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: of my life. Yes, and everyone's shocked. Oh really, and
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I'm enjoying. But then and I think, oh, this is
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: so much fun. But then, what other opportunity do you
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: ever have to dance?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I know, not very often.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: When was the last time we were dancing?
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Was it?
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Actually?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I just went to my college reunion, was dancing there.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: We have the silent disco. Have you ever done that?
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I actually did recently.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really fun.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: It's a very it's an interesting experience.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you think it's gonna not be connected, but it
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: is because everyone's like, go to like there's three channels
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: like Blue, Red, and Green, and they each have a
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: different song playing. So have a good song. Because everyone
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: was like, go to blue, go to blue, and then
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: everyone jams out together.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Were they different?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Like no, they're not even different genres. I don't know why.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't really understand. But anyway, sorry, but that's so.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I was just dancing, like last week, dancing the night
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: away till two in the morning. People, it's in the genes.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: It's in my genes. Night owl and likes to dance.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: So I want to see this because I don't think
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: I've seen either of my parents ever dance. Oh really,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: not in a single situation. Okay, so I want to
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: put ancestry. You have to see maybe if.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I maybe it's maybe it's it's nurture that you like
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to dance and not in nature. I don't know what
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I'm saying here. Okay, you got my my hypothesizing.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: No, keep going scientifically. That's get some more theory.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Oh god, that's all I have theory wise.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Did you find anything about out about your family history
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: or anything?
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I mean, without going into it, found a
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: secret relative. Oh, I didn't expect that. I know it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: It was kind of up the tree. So it wasn't
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: like I have a sister, and it wasn't that drastic.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: But did not expect that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Whoa.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: But you know what else I found out. I'm looking
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: through ancestry at like your DNA matches, and I see
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the name of my dad's best friend who we grew
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: up with. Talking about the skiing We went skiing with
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: this family in New Hampshire. We would go up, we
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: would share this like janky house with them. There's this
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: guy who's like my dad's like they work together best buddy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: There's his name on my ancestry as a third cousin.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: What and you just know this?
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: No, And my dad unfortunately already passed away when I
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: saw this, But I called up the guy and like,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I was like, are you and he's like yeah, the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: whole time we're related. So now these these kids I
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: grew up as family friends are actually like my fourth
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: cousins or something.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: And none of you knew that, none of.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Us knew, and we still don't even know the connection.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: It's weird when you get into third and fourth cousins
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: where it starts. It means less and less a lot less, yeah,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: but still is way more connected than anybody else. It's
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: a hard thing to parse. It's like, should I care
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: about you more? Yeah? Probably not?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but wait, have you done any of this?
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: No? I grew up and I was just about to say, you.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Grew up Mormon. And they have all the records and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: they're bread and butter. So before ancestream came out, there
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: was the library, right, yes, and you can go look
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: up your records before the internet existence.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. They I think they basically like my mom does this,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: They like send her old records, old birth charts or
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: whatever birth certificates ancient things, and she looks at them,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: the scans of them, and then types out their information
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: to continue documenting.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: These people, like about her own people or just everybody.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: It's a giant volunteer project.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And how did that start? Like why the Mormons and
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: why why?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: That's because it's because Mormons. This is a controversial subjects.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: They baptize dead people, okay, into the religion, and so
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: they get these names they're collecting, they're collecting members members,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: and so they like have just endless lists of names
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: from history who they're baptizing. There have been some controversial ones.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Pretty sure Hitler got baptized at one point. You know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I don't think that was the I don't think they
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: end goal, but somehow somebody got that in. I would
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: need to be fact checked, but I'm pretty sure that's true.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: But yeah, there are things like that that happen, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: so and obviously there's just a focus. They obviously love
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: family history, loved each other, and there's a real push
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: for family so they care about it a lot. Yeah,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: And so to answer your question, I don't know anything
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: about my family history because it was one of those
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: things culturally growing up where like you know, I wasn't
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: interested in any of it. So it's like I was.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I'm almost kind of a I was allergic to it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I don't care. It's some people who are from Scandinavia
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: or something, but i've slowly it's like Irish and Scottish
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: and English and the Swedishish, German, various white people from
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: around the world. But if you ask my mom, I
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: bet she could really break it down for you. And
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: you know, ancestry dot Com, I guess kind of just
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: took the idea and ran with it. They said, let's
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: put some more computers in this thing. Yeah, and now
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: the Mormons can't tell you if you like cilantro or not.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: That's true. They don't have that edge. They don't have
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: that you know, you like to dance or not. Or
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: how wet your earwaxes, which is disgusting, but that was
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: something I was surprised to see as a treat I
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: guess some people dry and some people have wet. He
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I know, it's so gross. I just kind of imagenetic.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: What sorry to talk about ear wax everybody. I'm just
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: trying to imagine ear off your lunch right now.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: No, I just feel like, I guess I'm only used
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: to my own earwax, so I can't. I've never really
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: interacted with other people.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: That's true. That's probably good.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: So I might be a freak who knows that someone
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: might look at my ear wax and be like this
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: genetically this a monster. But I feel like it's pretty
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: normal earwax. I've never had trouble.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, good.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: They tell you shouldn't clean out your ears.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we shouldn't use a Q tip, I think, But
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: then what, I don't know that that falls like low
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: on my list of problems concerns. Whatever.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Are you using a Q tip? No?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: No, no, I mean I don't. I don't really focus
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: on smoke everybody.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh, I used to use Q tips in
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: my ears. I'm still occasionally tempted. I keep them out
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: of my bathroom, okay, because if they're there, I will
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: use them constantly. It really is like smoking for me.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Jim's like, well, I need Q tips in the bathroom.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I was like, well, if you put them in there all.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Yours, this is really a thing. You're tempted.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you hid them, and I've of course found
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: them Oh, it's truly almost one to one with smoking.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: And now I'm probably damaging my ears, Like, oh gosh,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: it's just so tempting. And it's not like I have
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: a horrible ear wax problem. It's just like into you.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: I'm wonder if ancestor could tell me that that you

  Speaker 2: A teeny little vial o.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that feels like not enough.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know it did the trick, I guess.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: So where are most of your ancestors from.
• 16:23

• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, I mean, I grew up in Massachusetts where there's
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: you know, people that were on the Mayflower, but then
• 17:06

  Speaker 2: of a mix of wasps and.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Right, the Mayflower. When you can trace it back to

• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, I I mean, you just demonstrated you were
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: able to figure this out, this thing that happened six minutes.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, right, well interviews.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm very you know, I was excited to.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Until I started talking about ear wets. Okay, Mad you're here, okay,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: wire excited.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I was excited to have Rachel here. I just adore you.

  Speaker 3: I thought we'll have a nice time. Yeah, we'll move
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: on with our days.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Okay. Perfect.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: So I was a little surprised when you showed up
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: to my house late. Well, now you've really told on yourself.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I got lost.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: It was not a problem for me. I lead a
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: very relaxed life. Okay, okay, but you were holding up
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: the podcast is called I said, no gifts, Rachel. Yes,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: you showed up with a not only a gift bag,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: one that had some very specific instructions from the get go.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I had to put it in the freezer. And
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: can I do we talk about the gift now or no?
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I've we wait, oh but we're.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Going to talk about the gift. Let me just explain
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: something about the gift everyone who's listening. I only found
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: out I was doing this today. So now, if i'd
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: had more time, I would have, you know, thought more carefully,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: thought of something really cool, gone to like some thrift
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: store and found some cool item, as I'm sure a
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: lot of people do on this show. But I had
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: no notice in a town I don't live it, so
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I walked to the Larchmont area, and you know, I
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: didn't like there's a lot of cute little stores there.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: You're like, oh my god, I can't get them a candle.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I can't get them a book. These are like those
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: last minute like oh my god, I need a birthday
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: present exactly. And then you I really started thinking about
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: gift giving when this whole thing came up. Gifts I received,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: gifts I've given, et cetera. So I think I found something,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and then I found another something to supplement the something.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, preface our past guests so much credit?
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Oh really, Okay, I was imagining, like.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: The range is, you know, from garbage to valuable to meaningful. Okay,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: but it's all over the place. Okay, so it sounds
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: like you've already put in more thought than probably thirty percent. Okay,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: so you've aced the test. Well, I'll go get this
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: gift the freeze. I'll be right back. Okay.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Now there's a there's an unfrozen part and a frozen part. Oh,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: the frozen part is generic. I wonder if you can
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: guess what it is. But let me show you the ungeneric.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Okay, should we open it here on the podcast. Yeah, okay,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: let me do you want me to do it? I
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: feel like you're you are.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Well, this part needs explanation.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: I feel like you're gonna give me a dead mouse.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: That would be the amount of explaining that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Funny thing that happened about this first. This is the
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: main gift. Okay, I'm gonna but it needs it needs explanation.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Wants to open it now.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: That's an old little white bag spic cold.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: It's a fragrance of some sort. It's almost like I
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: can't know if it's a room spray, a body spray.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, tell us what it's called.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, fragrance library, Yes, fragrance library. And the name of
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: the fragrance is Redhead and Bed.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, red Head and Bed. Now let me explain a
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: few things. One is, I remember these fragrances from like
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know, they've been around a while, and they
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: really cool. Like the one I really like is tomato.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It's most just like a tomato plant.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Oh so it's more like a jelly belly situation, I think.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: So. Yeah, they have all these They have like a
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: delicious apple, it's most just like a golden delicious. They
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: have sugar cookie. I don't really know what people use
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: these works. But then I was like, looking through, I
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: was gonna get your tomato, right, But then I was
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I was kind of random, and then my eye falls
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: upon red Head and Bed. But the thing is that
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: that was the tester because they didn't have any in
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the back. Yeah, so it's a little greasy and it
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: looks old and it was a little bit gone from
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: it because it was a tester, and like, you have
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: to have one in the back. This is the whole
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: joke to give.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: This to you. Unbelievable. That's the thing.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: They charged me. They took off two bucks and I
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: was like two bucks. This should be at least half price,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: or give me give the whole thing to me for
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: five bucks, and they were like, well it's still pretty full,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: and I was like, and I'm thinking like yeah, but
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: it doesn't look gift worthy. But I never like to
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: make a scene or like push back on a salesperson
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: because I'm always just like okay, because I just don't
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: want to be that person. So I said, okay, so
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: that's my maximis of why you have a greasy bottle
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: of Redhead and Bed.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, I want to smell this let's see.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Interesting, it doesn't even smell that good. I'm gonna I
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: don't know what it's trying for.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: A very like chemical paint.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, it's smells very chemical.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Right. This is insulting to me because it.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Was in the freezer. But it doesn't smell very.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Good there my hand.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I know you can throw this away by the way,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: if you want, do you just post photos of Oh?
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, course of course it doesn't.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't know what I was expecting a redhead
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: and bed to.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Smell like paint thinner.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's there's no comparison.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Smell, right, I couldn't tell you what notes.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no there's no notes except I was gonna
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: say chemical too. I can't believe that's the word.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Do you use? Yeah? And then like, I mean, now
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: that I've touched the bottle, frozen bottle, a frozen bottle, there,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: there's a smell on my hand. But we can't tell
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: if that's from this or other testers who have been
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: spraying out.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: It's from that, because the other ones really smell like
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: very specifically. Okay, I mean there was one called leather,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, that'd be kind of funny,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: but who wants that smell?
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: This is the ideal. This is the most mystifying product
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: I've ever seen.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I don't I almost want to look it up online
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: and see what it's trying for.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, let me, I'm actually gonna red head in bed.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Actually on a least, would you google that and see
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: what's happening? I mean, anyone in bed? I mean that's
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: just sweat.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you would expect me a little more musky. Yeah,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I use the word.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Or like sheets, even like sheets like a clean linen. Yes, right,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: this I don't.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Know what it's met exactly. So because I didn't really
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: like this smell, and I thought, you're not gonna like
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: this either. This is just a surely a gag gift
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: to use the redhead thing. So then I got you
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: just a gift so you wouldn't feel bad in here.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Should we get into this, I mean, we'll keep talking.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: About I'm running the show, you run the show.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: You've got the gifts, right, but I.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Had to get you like a makeup gift for this.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Let's take out the makeup gift and general.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: If you want to I understand this.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: I'm going to reach in here, and this is the
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: thing I need to do frozen.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, I mean that's just so.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: It's actually ice two.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Nice brandy, because I was like, is he a chocolate
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I'm a chocolate person, but I am too well. Jimmy
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: text me that back after. I also got a wild
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: lavender and chocolate.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: This feels like it might be a good combination of flavors.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Maybe should I go get some spoons?
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: That's up to you, right, I can't say I would
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: say no to the chocolate. This is sometimes the people
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: bring gifts that they also get to partake in.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, of course, of course. And I'm gonna spray
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: you in the face with the st on at least
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: while I'm gone. Have you discovered what it smells like?

  Speaker 4: Because one it's got mango, guava, passion fruit, and orange
• 26:30

  Speaker 4: It is also sold out on this website at perfume
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: dot com.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Bet everybody's buying it for the redheads, and then everyone's
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: disappointed when they smell it. Sorry, demeato, because I love
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: the tomato one. It smells like a tomato plant, a
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: tomato plant. No where, I just smell it in a store,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: and I would never buy that. No, but it smells
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: just like it's like when you're little, you sell a tomato,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: right right, that's what it takes me back.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Go get spoons on the bones.

  Speaker 3: Yes, I love a food thing, even if it's a
• 27:49

  Speaker 3: that's true. Now I'm concerned about getting this wild berry
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: into lavender.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: It just gets I know, I don't care. Do you
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: care about?
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, if you're good with it?
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: What is a gross food item you received.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: A gross food item. Let's see. Naomik Pargan gave me
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: vanilla almond gummy bears hm and they tasted like teeth.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, they were Oh thank you onlie so sweetly
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: getting me some of this wild berry lavender ice cream.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Now I love a wild berry, but the lavender is
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: where it may be a bridge too far.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: You know what. You can't really taste my lavender up.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Thank you, so it might just be uh it.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Tastes like Redhead and Bed. Now I'm just kidding. I'm
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: seeing some common notes here. When it describes it, it
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: says a pop of sweet orange, just like that Redhead
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: and Bed.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: I wonder if orange is just an easy flavor to get,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: so they just put it in everything and that can
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: be identified by the user, and then everything else can
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: be a lie. Okay, how do you feel about this
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: wild bear?
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not really I'm not really a fruit ice cream person. Yeah,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: it's I got it in case you were, I appreciate you. Yeah.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, first of all, does anyone want more ice cream?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Right now?
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna put in the freezer so it's not soup.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: This has been a very active episode. I feel like
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I'm running a little story here.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I know it made you work for your gifts.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: It's so delicious, the wild berry.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: No, I mean I would always use my dessert points
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: on a I don't mean points like a but my
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: dessert merits on a chocolate. Yeah, that kind of thing.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when I'm going out for a treat, I just
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I'm not ready to experiment exactly good, exactly what I
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: want good point. I might try a sample, Yeah, I would.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: I don't think I would even bother being like, oh,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: you give me the wild berry laughing.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: No, I know me neither, but I should have assumed
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: a chocolate thing on you. But anyway, it's.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Weird when you meet someone who isn't into chocolate.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I know, I'm suspicious.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was like, what has happened?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Actually I just spit Okay, no, but I actually never
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: thought it was more. But when someone says they don't
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: like chocolate, they drop in.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: My esteem completely. There's immediate judgment. Yes, it feels like
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: a choice. It feels like they've decided they don't like.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Feels like something's wrong with.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's just such a it was like such
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: a universal flavor. Yeah, And you rarely run into someone
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: who picks a different flavor over a chocolate flavor. But
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: maybe they're better than us.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe we just don't know it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Maybe I do feel like I have pretty bass taste.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I like a peanut butter. I just learned that Italians
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: don't like peanut butter. Oh really they hate it.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: How did you learn that?
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Another guest on this podcast apparently Italians hiss a peanut butter.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: They think it's they really hate that flavor. It's like
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: cats and whatever cat's hiss att.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite ice cream place you go to?
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, okay, Well, being from Massachusetts, oh my god,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: of course you know this. But Massachusetts is like, for
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: some reason, ice cream fanatic. So I like anywhere with
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: you know, homemade ice cream. So there's a lot of
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: places on Cape Cod that I like, Oh okay and whatever.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Just growing up, I don't know there was ice cream everywhere.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I'm boring myself again, but I.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Want to hear more.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Marvel that other places don't have as much ice cream
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: as Massachusetts.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Right. I went to a big ice cream place in Massachusetts.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: It's almost like a weird little theme park. It's like
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Kimball Kimball Farm Kimble Farms. Yes, I've been there once
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: and I remember being dazzled by it.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: They also had like go carts. I wasn't entirely sure
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: what the operation was, but I must have started.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: With ice And what were you doing there?
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I was visiting friends living in Boston, okay, and I
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: must have read about it.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't know if you were going to be like
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I was writing on a blah blah blah.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Okay on an ice cream theme parks. Yeah, exactly, but yeah,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: I remember being very good ice cream, but also being
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: confused by people in Massachusetts call it a milk, but
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: I know as a milksh frap, yeah, which it makes
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: no sense about me.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: That's a I didn't even know that was a Massachusetts word.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: But they still have a milk.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not it's the same. It's the same thing.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: A milkshake is a frap.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But in Massachusetts, if you order milkshake, isn't it
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: like a thick thing that you can't drink?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Probably?
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: And then a frap is like, because I like to
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: drink the ice cream any it as easy as possible
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: to consum.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought they were the same. But
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Ye I remember being a little thrown and frap feels
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: like such a to do about the dessert frap. Until
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: I had learned that about Massachusetts, I thought it was
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: a word basically that Starbucks had invented. But I guess
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: that's a frapp of Chino, which it's all a little confused.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: There's suspicious, there's something going on, something going on. But
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: you like a cape Caught ice cream? Yea, Ultimately that's good.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: To Cape Cod, cape Cod and ski.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, we're trying to build a character, Yes, Knob Rachel.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, ice cream snob.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Utah is very ice cream focused too. It is Utah,
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I mean because most people don't drink or do anything
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: like that. So like, the entertainment options.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Are more fairly from okay, so ice.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Cream jello, going to the movies, okay, okay. So I
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: feel like I've had some pretty good ice cream. I
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: don't know, but now we've got like places like Jenny's,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: which it's literally like forty dollars for an ice cream cone.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Oh you know what makes me really sad when you
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: go to get an ice cream cone and it's like
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: a tiny little golf ball and it makes you It's
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: like I'm not kidding, it like breaks my heart, Like
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: when they hand you the tiny gulf. I'm like, now
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I might make you cut this because it makes me
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: sound super pathetic. But one time I was in La,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Like when I'm in La, like I'm not at home, right,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: so I'm like it can get a little lonely sometimes.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: So I'm staying in this hotel and so this is
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: the stupidest story. But so I decide like, isn't it
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: pretty rare? Like you go get an ice cream by yourself,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Like that alone is like a freaking sand that's sad.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: That's a sad activity, right, Like, but ice cream is social,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: like you're going out with a group with your kid whatever.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, I'm like, I'm gonna go down the street,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: and because I deserve it, I'm sad. So anyway, like
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: go down to this ice cream place. I think it's
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: called Sultan's Straw. And if a free coupon should arrive
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: after this story, I'm not gonna be sad about. But anyway,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: so so songs John, which is like it's kind of
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: like high I've never been, but I got like really
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: good ratings because I looked it up afterwards to a
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: horrible yelper revealing this about myself.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Now, But so we're not there's no way, I'm.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: So I walk down the hill to the Sultan's John, okay,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: and I ordered my sad ice cream and it arrives
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: and she hands it over and it was the smallest
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: ice cream scoop you've ever seen in your life. Okay,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: It like my heart sank. Okay. So it was so
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: small that, like I realized, if I'd been with someone else,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I would have had the nerve to be like, well
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: that's it, like I would have said so. But because
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I was by myself, I just took it like a
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: sad ziggy characters and I just took the ice cream
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: and I was like visibly shaken, so that I'm I'm
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: walking back up to my hotel and myself like I'm
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: not kidding. It was like done in three bites. The
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: experience lasted like forty seconds, and then I walked back
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: to my door, and then I had this This is
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: where the story gets. It's even more embarrassed, so that
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: I'm like maybe they maybe they're really no, let make
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: make me small portions. So I look at the on
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Yo right by the way I'm walking, gonna tell the
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: ice cream is long gone. After like ten steps of
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: day of walking, I'm already looking at and I look
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: up thinking I'm gonna see the portions are really small.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: But the reviews it says that they're huge, and the
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: review this, it's like, oh my gosh, I'm small. It's
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: like a double large at this place.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: That's something.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Then I find out like what it was the exception,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: what happened? Like everyone's talking about large the scoops, and
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: I felt like, oh my god. Anyway, it was like
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I'm still obviously mad about it.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: It was like four years owes you.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: You owe me like a double scoop for free, a
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: full box, because not only did you rip me off,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: but also you created an emotional experience that I'm still
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: living four years later on a podcast over an ice
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: cream transaction.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: So anyway, that is my embarrassing pathos Layden, Oh that
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: to me, I.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Feel I feel like I got I got it out.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: That was a good started of that feeling fireworks, emotional
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: emotional virus.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: No, at that moment, I empathize with you so much.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: In the moment of them handing you the small and
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: you're alone. There's nothing you can do. You like some
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: more and think these teenagers like, oh you what are
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: you a page?
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: I cannot tell you I saw this thing? Was it
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: like barely even like surfaced over the colne It was.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: It was like the smallest ice cream ever. So anyway,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: whenever they hand you like, you know.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Well, while you were telling you storys like because I've
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: always had and this is this is not an advertisement
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: for Salton Straw, but they've always given me a normal
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: scoop of ice cream. But Jenny's I've had some of
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: these situations.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Not always I've never been to Jenny's before.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Delicious ice cream off, but occasionally a little sweet for me.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: But go on a sewer, Okay, sorry, go on, I
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: probably can't back.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: I wasn't going to say anything, but you gave it
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: to me. It is a little sweet.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Do you think it needs a little like you need
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: a break? Yeah, it needs to kick a little at sugar.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, or like a piece of dark chocolate in there
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: saying yeah, my tolerance for sweetness has gone way down.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: The desserts I'm eating are frequently basically charcoal.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: I should have got you the salted kermel that was
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: the ice.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Cream needs that sort of thing. I'm dumping salt on
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: chocolate ice cream at this point.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Delicious, Okay, okay, sorry.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: But salt and straw. They this. Whoever was in charge
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: of your ice cream cone dropped the ball, they did.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: I hope the company is looking into that transaction right now.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Going through their records.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Four years ago, I bet location hes need to roll
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: some straw West Hollywood.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: If they don't know about that transaction, then ancestry dot
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: com does. Wow, that's it. But I am going to
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: stand up and say you should be anyone should be
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: able to go get an ice cream alone.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: It's just something that I support you.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: I don't do that often, and I learned. I learned
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: my love. There's something like sad about it. I don't know,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: that's just me judging me. Well, it is a situation.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: You're normally with social and you should be socially right.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: I'll go to a restaurant in myself. I'm like another town, whatever,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: go to a movie, mom. I don't. I don't have
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: that thing. But something about buying an ice cream com
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: by yourself.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: I think it's because it's unnecessary.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: It's something about it. It's like I deserve a treat
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: it like something like something like feels like ooky about it,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Like I'm gonna treat myself to what ice cream? Colm?
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: But you are.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: I feel like you're a hero in that situation. Everyone's
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: saying that person's been there.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm helping people by telling this story.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm proud about going to sweet places alone. Ultimately,
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: the everyone will thank you.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Everyone probably can relate to the small cone sadness.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's such a ripoff. You shouldn't You
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: should be able to enjoy an ice cream cone for
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: at least ten minutes. I really take my time.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: I revealed that about myself. Really, the Barbara Walters of
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: the podcast.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: I get the darkest things out of people do a
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: lot of that's gonna have to be beeped out. That
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: was a horrible story. No, I appreciate you telling that.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: And eating alone is a different thing.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: I guess, because sometimes you're just like you got to
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: eat on the road whatever.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Right, and I'll have a book or whatever. I'm like, yeah,
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: I'm eating dinner, leave me alone.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Let's face it. The book is just there to let
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: people know you're okay with this.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Just blank pack.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: It's a mean time I treat myself, and this is
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: my mean time. This is my reading time.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: I was told to do this by the artist's way.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, oh my god.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: I just want everyone to always assume I'm doing the artists'
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: wayes and movies, I actually think everyone should go to alone. Yeah,
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: because I.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Don't mind that, although I must admit I don't really
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: go to movies anyway.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: I don't done with the movies.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Well no, I mean like I watched them at home
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: or it's been a while since I've gone to either.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: I feel bad about.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: That contributing to Hollywood's mind.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I need the movies to keep going, and
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I've sort of missed that experience.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Well, once you get into the rhythm of not going,
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: it's hard to break out of that. I'm currently in
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: a lull. You just have to force yourself one time
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: and then you're back into the movies, and then there's
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: a drought of good ones and then you're back into it.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: But I have memories of when I lived in Chicago,
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Like there were all these little art movie houses and
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: remember like you'd find that indie movie and like, let's
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: go see this on Friday.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: Night, like that was something cool and I felt like
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: it like you had really like found something and you
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: love doing the work to enjoy this.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you can't be distracted.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Right, And it was a limited time to see it.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: You weren't going to be able to just see it
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: in the billion choices of jah right. Yeah, it feels
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: like that's gone away. So many things have gone away.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Turn you just take a sad turn.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Well, this podcast is a roller.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling so many emotions.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: But I yeah, I love going to And this is
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: a trick I do at the movies now is if
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: the movie's three hours long, I only go to an
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: hour and a half of it. And this gives you
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: a new level of freedom with the movies.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on, what movie are we doing? This
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: is real.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: This has happened several times, like on purpose, on purpose.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: It's my new philosophy. It feels incredible. I've talked about
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: on this podcast a few times.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: But well, give me an example of a three hour movie.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Avatar, Oh God, hour and a half in I thought,
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: I know everything I need to know about this movie.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: I can go home. I've experienced whatever this is my
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: apologies to Jim Cameron and A Submarine number two, John
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Wick four, which I enjoy's seen any of those, but
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: it's literally three hours of fighting, and so ever, an
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: hour and a half of fighting, I thought, I've seen
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: enough people get thrown downstairs. I could probably go home. Okay.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Bo Is Afraid, which is the ari Astra movie with
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Joaquin Phoenix, which I enjoyed enough. Bo Is Afraid never
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: even heard of it. I enjoyed enough, But it was
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: just three hours. I couldn't do it. I can't sit
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: there that long. Yeah, so I went home. And when
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: you leave an hour and a half in, it's like
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: you broke out of jail. Even if you're enjoying the movie. Wow,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: you can go around the mall and look at stores.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: Everyone assumes you're still trapped in the theater. But no,
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: if this is your secret hour and a half that
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: you can kind of just live your life.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: I have to say, like, if I see three hours
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: on a movie, I don't really watch it.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: Oh you mean zoning out?
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: I don't. Okay, So I don't make myself watch Oscar
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: movies anymore.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: That's good for you.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: That's the gift I've given to myself.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: What an amazing life.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, what I mean is like back in the day,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: I'd try to see everything. I'm not I'm not a
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: voter or anything. I don't mean that. I just mean
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: as a civilian that I used to like try to
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: make myself or if it was like the Action Hero
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: movie that everyone's saying I goes, But like then I
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: was like, wait a minute, I don't like these movies.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: I don't like Action Hero. I will not see war
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: movies because they make me too bummed out and like
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: heavy dramas, I just don't like it. So I've given
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: myself a pass, so I don't see any.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Of those that's really taking ownership.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Sorry for not supporting Hollywood in that way, But I
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: like comedies.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: You're watching comedies.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: I'm watching comedy.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: You're watching light Fair, and you're enjoying yourself. You're not
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: subjecting yourself exactly. Yeah, I'm still very much in a
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: wanting to be part of like to be able to
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: comment for two minutes during dinner.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: That's a good point, but I can't comment on a
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: lot of those kind of things.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're basically silent at every dinner at this point.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: People are saying stop about the movie.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: That's what I bring up. You guys heard of Sultan Straw? Okay, sorry, no,

• 49:52
  Speaker 3: to a Curse. I'm going to name three things. You're
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: going to tell me if there are a gift or
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: a curse and why, and then I'll tell you if
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: you're right or wrong because there are correct answers. Okay,
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: and there's a good chance you could fail, and you've
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: you know, you've had some sadness already on this podcast.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: We don't want to watch you walk away a failure,
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: so be very careful.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Okay. Now do I try to match what I think
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: you're gonna.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Say or you do whatever you want? Okay, gift or
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: a curse? This is ah, Actually I do need to quickly.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: During the live show, we use some listener suggestions and
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: I simply didn't think the people who had sent them in.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: We had an Ellen who suggested the window seat on
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: an airplane. We had Mark who suggested cash, and then
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: this is tomatoes and guacamole. I no, which just kind
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: of mysterious. But okay, let's get into this. Victoria has
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: suggested gift or a curse people who walk dogs on
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: a leash that fastens around their waist.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Fastens around the walker the person's waist.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's like a belt.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: I've never seen that even. I guess I'm gonna say
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: curse because I don't get why you're not just holding
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: it with your hand. But unless you a limitation, Okay,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say curse because I don't get it.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: It's a curse. It makes it. I don't know what
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: we're doing. Do you need both hands? What do you
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: need both hands for? Are you making pizza? I don't
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: understand that an l a thing. I've actually never seen
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: this in person. When this person's send this in I
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: obviously googled it to get my eyes on this product,
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: and it seems to be at least one person in
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: a stock photo has done it. So but I guess, I.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: Guess it's good if you're dealing with like groceries.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Phone fighting off attackers, fighting.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Off attackers, the doggy bag thing whatever. Maybe, but I'm
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: just gonna say that's weird.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: It's different, so it's worm.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: With what everyone else does.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: That's a curse. No one thing about it to me
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: is I get a little. I love dogs more than anything,
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: but people who are too comfortable with their dog interacting
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: with other people when they just assume everyone is comfortable
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: with their dog, I like you think about other people.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: I'm sure your dog's lovely, but maybe not everyone's comfortable
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: with it running around your waist, racking them right right,
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: So when you have the dog on a leash with
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: your hand, I feel like there's a little bit more
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: control there. And uh yeah, I just don't understand this product.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: We should stop selling it.
• 52:15

• 52:31
  Speaker 3: You're not into a lemon flavor anything?
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: Hmm, well what else would a yellow pop? I guess
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: it could be pineapple? If you go on, no, I'm
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: gonna say curse. Why what do you say?
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: You say curse? I've only ever known them to be banana,

  Speaker 2: was kind of good.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but a banana flavored a regular popsicle

  Speaker 2: spot it would be like a scavenger hunt. I bet
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: I could find three rat tails at Disney World.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: Within three hours. I bet like an fcot, you're surrounded

• 56:02
  Speaker 3: don't know that I would ever have one myself. It's
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: an interesting one because it's really hidden back there, so.

  Speaker 2: You can kind of secret personality.
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the moment you turn around, you're like, oh, you've
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: been interacting with someone with the rat and that I love.

• 56:26
  Speaker 3: this moment.

• 56:53
  Speaker 3: one that we tried reading the live show. And we're
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: interrupted artificially by something I thought of.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: Where was the live show?
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: It was a Dynasty typewriter. Oh here, yeah, right here
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: in LA and we're going to try to do more soon.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: It was very funn oh cool.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, sorry, but interjection.
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: But this one, we've got to get back to the
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: question because I stopped reading it at the show. This
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: is Deer Bridger on elis an illustrious guest. I hope
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: you were all well, the house dry, the backyard mostly tranquil,
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: the flowers watered, et cetera. I'm emailing you from the
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Chicago suburbs with a question about a situation I encountered recently.
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: I bought a birthday gift for my sister in law
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: and scored a great sale on some clothes. I wasn't
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: sure if I could remove the markdown sticker without voiding
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: the return, so I left it on. It is now
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: several weeks later, and something about it isn't sitting right
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: with me. How should I do things next time? I
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: obviously think my sister in law deserves full price, but
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: at this point in my life, I got a shop
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: the sales. What do I do next time? Bridger, I
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: hope you were properly of This is just a little
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: in between. I hope you were scanned lies by your
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: guest's unwanted gift. And guess I can't wait to consume
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: whatever media you're promoting. You've got a new listener to
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: the already. Thank you so much for taking my letter,
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: and have a good day. And that's from bo oh
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: interesting that we talked about BO is afraid everything is connected? Right,
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: everything is connected?
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: Is afraid of mark Down's Okay, So wait, here's what
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not getting. Bo left the price tag on the gift. Yes,
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: so Bo, you can rip the price tag off and
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: get like some sort of gift receipt, right right?
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I'm getting a feeling that BO is
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: not familiar with modern retail or both.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: I was thinking maybe Bo is very young.
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like hitched a ride. Well, I don't know
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: if on sale.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Has l No, I'm thinking no, I'm thinking maybe if
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: Bo is young and BO doesn't know that, then you
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: don't You don't have to leave the actual price tag
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: on the clue. That would make sense to me.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: What I'm getting is BO is excusing bad behavior. BO
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: knew what he was doing. He knew the sister in
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: law would be offended when she saw that he had
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: bought her marked down merchandise. And now he's backpedaling, so
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: there's no excuse he should have taken it off. This
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: is bad behavior.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: But here's one thing. What about when you give a
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: gift with the price you could rip off the little
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: actual number.
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: I'm sure really BO is after his sister in law
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: just trying to stir up family drama.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: Imagine.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, you obviously make some good points about gift gifting,
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: some very basic concepts, and if BO doesn't know these things,
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: then I've got a listener that needs to rethink a lot.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: All right, But so the sister in law never thanked Bo,
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: there's no thank you, was worred. He committed a faux
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: pas a Bo paw if you will, But uh yeah,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: that kind of that kind of sucks, like she should
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: have thanked him anyway, even if she thought it was tacky, right,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: because Bo did.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: Get a gift, money was spent.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: Thought it was kind of hard to get clothes for
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: people too, because it's hard to match their styles.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: That is another interesting thing.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: You don't know them.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: I would never buy my sister in law clothing. Yeah,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: now we're getting, you know, a portrait of the podcast. Yeah,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: that needs to really be unraveled. Bo is buying discount
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: clothing for his sister.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: Was it a scarf? Fine? Was it a dress?
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: Was it like a we need to talk, yeah, micro mini,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: you know what is BO dressing his sister in law
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: up in.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: Or even maybe it's not even her style, right, but
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: his sister in law still should thank him.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: It was something given to her. Yeah, I feel like
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: BO should stop giving everything. Bo is a teen, Bo
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: maybe a teen with as you're said.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: Bo isn't a teen. Then BO is very insulted right now.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: Bo's freaking out. BO turned it up, turned off the podcast.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe early twenties, maybe early twenties.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: It does seem like they've got to shop the sales, So.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: It's okay to shop the sales.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: I encourage shopping.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Don't save the price tag on.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: Never pay retail, right, That's what I say. Yeah, especially
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: when you're buying sister in law or if you're.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: Buying a sample item, or you should not be paying.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: Did you hear that store that sold me the sample
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: size for two dollars off?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: That's so offensive, that's and that's such a random number,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: it really is. It should have been a half.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: And if you well, you'll see this bottle ladies and
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: gentlemen and everybody a lot of it. That's the label
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: is Oily. Anyway, Sorry, I'm not trying to sway off
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: of Bow and Bose gifting issues.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: I feel like your main mission on this episode has
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: been to shut down everything on Larch month, all of
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: these boutinque.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe we can't say the name of it
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: because if I'm going to complain this much about it.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's a great store.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: It is a great but I don't want to. I
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: don't want to complain publicly about them and the two dollars.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: They'll beep out their name, but.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: We won't be about the street there on. Bo, go
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: to a store with some fragrances, find the tester, get
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: a discount, fill it up with water, right and now
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: no one knows anything better or rubbing alcohol. Whatever you
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: have might be better nearby right in the redhead and bed,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: and the sister in law will go crazy. Bo, don't
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: write back in okay. Closing up the email, Rachel, what
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: you've brought such beautiful gifts of the podcast.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I mean, it's a pleasure.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: I screamed that I will. Of course I will eat
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: the chocolate one. The other one's going to be there until,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: like we have another pandemic and the grocery store is out.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: I know I was getting that sense right after I
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: bought it too.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: But we challenged ourselves, we branched out and learned that
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: we still don't like that type of ice cream, right,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: which is important to know about yourself. Yeah, especially if
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: you're standing alone in an ice cream store, you need
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: to know. You should be as informed as possible because
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: you don't.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: Want a bad You don't want to go wrong, right.
• 1:03:13

• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: our dear friend Analise Nilson, and it's beautifully mixed by
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: Ben Holliday. And we couldn't do it without our guest booker,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: Patrick Kottner. The theme song, of course, could only come
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: from a miracle worker, Amy Man. You must follow the
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: show on Instagram. At I said no Gifts, I don't

• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: see pictures of all these gorgeous gifts I'm getting. And
• 1:03:59
