Blair Socci Returns to Disobey Bridger Again · I Said No Gifts! A comedy interview podcast with Bridger Winegar

• 0:08
  Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no guests,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you're our presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So how do you dare to surbey me?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm pretture wine garl.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I have to pick up flea medication after this recording?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: What can I say? I love to shop flea medication
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: for the dog, not for me, if that was of
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: any concern. I'm not covered in fleas and the dog's
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: not covered in fleas either. It's a preventative, you know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: if you haven't had a dog before, you've got to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: do this monthly or the dog, I guess, could get fleas.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know where she would get
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: fleas from. But it's the Symperica trio. If you've heard,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: if you've ever seen the commercials, dog owners everywhere are
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: getting this flea medication. So that's what I'll be doing
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: after this. And I forget Jim's going to burn me
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to the ground. Why else would I have come to Burbank?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: What else is going on? Let's see. I'm just kind
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: of sitting here thinking about who's going to wrong me today.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I've got a few ideas already, and I don't think
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: that there's any other real business. I mean, we're very
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: far into the first month of the new year and
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: not all of my problems are solved yet. So maybe
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: we just skipped till next year and see if that
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: one works. Otherwise, Let's see Little House on the Prairie
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: last night, what was happening. Nelly faked a spinal injury,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: just kind of tricked the whole town. And we also
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: watched an episode where Johnny Cash teams up with Mary
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: to scam the town. He and a child accomplice steal
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of money from everyone in the town, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: then he learns his lesson. Okay, I think, and he's
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: also impersonating a church official. Unbelievable. Let's get into the podcast.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Today's guest has already been on the show twice. She's
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: back for the third time. I can't get enough. It's
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Blair Sackey, Blair, welcome back to I said, no gifts, Richard.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Can I say.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Welcome this morning? With a little pep in my step,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I said, I'm going to see my friend today and
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: will I fly him by bringing a gift? Yeah? Yeah,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: you can know I'm gonna do that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, Wow Blair, Wow, I know I've been looking forward
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to this for weeks.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I've been looking forward to it for weeks.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: You were on in twice I think in twenty twenty four, yes,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And I mean we'll get into whatever the hell you're
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: talking about with this gift later, but you've in the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: last two episodes you've brought me a rotisserie chicken. Yeah,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and then Ramen noodles. Right, you were on the live
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: show and you brought Ramen noodles, which are still in
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: my cabinet.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Oh. I love that. Thank you, And you know that
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: really means a lot to me because I know that
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: a lot of people sort of like to ruffle you
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and give you gifts, and so I know you're just
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: getting gifts up the wazoo, and for you to keep,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: you know, my lowly items means a lot.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: The beef, Ramen noodles, I haven't. I don't still have
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the rotissory chicken obviously. Oh. I believed you, But you
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: did kind of change the way I eat rotisserie chicken
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: because you've kind of shamed me about how I was
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: eating it because I had refriged rated it without shredding
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: at first.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, Bridgierd, No, no, no, no, you can't
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: even eat it. After it's been refrigerated, changed, it changes
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: into a completely different It congeals. It's like a it's
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: like a carriage at midnight. All the magic is somehow lost.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: That is not true.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: That is.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, you could it is edible, truly, it is.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: If you've pre shred before refrigerating, you could theoretically eat
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: it in the coming days. But I mean to even
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: insinuate that it's anything like when you pull it out
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: the hot thing at Ralph's.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: So when I think we've probably discussed this, but when
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: you buy the chicken, you just wolf it down and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: then it's out of your life.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: There is no other way. There is no other way.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: And I and I know Bridge that I am not
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: alone in this.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I know that, well you're alone in this room because
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I'm by You know, I occasionally will now buy one
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: at Costco, because you have convinced me to buy these chickens.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: So you're going to Costco, going to cost I love
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that that means you're really mature. I hope to get
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to my costco.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Era, but I'm in a weird costco Era because you know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: you go in there and people have grocery carts just
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: piled with months of food, right, And I essentially buy
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a chicken, a bag of baby Bell cheese, sure, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: some protein.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Chicks so that I'm out oft there, which protein checks
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: are again.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I'm getting the Fair Life. I drink that every morning.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I dreak it every day for lunch.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Forty two grams because I can't forty two grams of
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: protein baby, And it tastes right like chocolate milk.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I feel like, I mean, and this is not a
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: paid promotion. It feels like a magic trick to me
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: because it's not disgusting.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: No, it genuinely tastes so good, all right, because I'm
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: a chocolate milk freak. I was as a child anyways,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: and then you become a woman in an entertainment I
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: don't even want you to have any chocolate milk in
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: your oldhood. But the Fair Life Protein.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Shake, I think it tastes better than chocolate milk. My
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: problem with a lot of chocolate milk is it doesn't
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: taste that much like chocolate, you know, it's more just
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: like sweet milk. Sure this thing, I'm having one a
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: day at least, so am I? I mean I think
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't think we.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Could have more in common. And then we hit on
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: this about just I don't know what are we at minute.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Three and we're essentially the same person.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: It's crazy, I know.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Are you getting yours at Costco? Or are you going
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: and buying them way too much money?
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not. I can't say that I'm buying them
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: one by one, but the way in which I am
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: procuring them I'm not proud to say.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Please tell I'm buying them in.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Flats online, getting them to my doorstep because I'm having
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: one one every morning.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: How much are you paying for a flat?
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I think they're around forty dollars?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, you got to get in come with me to
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: cost me?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I will, I'd love to.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I think I'm paying thirty bucks.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Really, that's savings of at least. It's too much better.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: And all I would have to do is get a
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: little exercise squat, bring it up to the stairs. No that,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: That, Oh you do want that?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind that.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but right now they're just being thrown at
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: your tour.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I just wouldn't even know where else to get them
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: right in bulk.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean outside of a costco. I feel like
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: they're twice as much money.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: They are everywhere.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I would be financially ruined if I was buying them else.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I'm already on the on the precipice with my online
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: online damage.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: What else are you having shipped to your house from
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the internet? Any other frequent things?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Had to be the beginning question, so you know, all
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: out myself here, I feel sort of like your listeners
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: and you are my family at this point. Online shopping
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: is something I really struggle with. Okay, I love it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Do you buy something online every day? Would you say
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that's on it?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: That might be a letto to personal of a question,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: but it is often and sometimes I forget, you know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I do a lot of returns as well, because I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: past me, that was too far. You don't need that.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: We need to sort of save some money, right.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I almost love an online return more than an online buy.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: It's so satisfying, so satisfying, it's so satisfying. Sometimes I
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: get embarrassed at my local ups. They're so kind in there,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: and you know, you have the barcode scan, no box,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: no label for free, and I'm just scanning Hello, Hello, Hello,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: how are you please? Don't look at what I'm doing.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I'm humiliated. And every time they say where, I humiliated,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: and I've said because things just get out of control,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: you know, And that's why I'm here.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: That's part of the thing. If I can't look at
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: it or feel it before I purchase it, there's a
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: ninety nine percent chance I'm going to have to send
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: it back.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: One hundred percent. And when I find a brand or
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: when I find a fit that works for me, because
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: here's the thing about me. I love clothes. I'm very
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: into clothes in fashion, but I hate shopping.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Oh that's a real curse.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Some could say, I mean, maybe not in today's world,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: but yeah. So I'm doing a lot of returns, right
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: and I am pretty good. Like if I know I'm
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: not going to use something, I absolutely return it. I'm
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I'm I tried to be quite militant about that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: What was the last big return you made? Was there
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: something really like? This just is too much?
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I tried to buy this beautiful cream coat, and and
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: then I was like, Claire, you got enough coats. What
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: you're gonna let that thing fall on the ground at
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: the comedy store. No, you don't need a cream coat.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: You walk out of the house.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I know, but I had it in my head to
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: wear with this cream satin dress.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, it sounds like something to get baptized.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I know there's some I love wearing all white and
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: all cream. I do it all the time.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: But if aren't you just constantly nervous of getting dirty?
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, but there's something so powerful. Well, I think I
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: first noticed it when I was in my scandal watching
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: years with Terry Washington.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Was she always in all she was?
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: She was in so much cream, And it's just there's
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: nothing more luxurious looking, even though I'm like, it's, you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: the little skater brat version of it, you know.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: It's very decadent type thing.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: It's so there's nothing more decadent.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Right, because it's like, well, I don't care if my
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: clothes get ruined, I'll have more.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Or it's sort of boldly saying I'm decadent and I'm
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: not afraid of danger, right, throw ketchup at me. But
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: then you can forget. Like one time I wore all
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: white without singing it to my best friend's child's like
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: one year birthday party, and then I was like, oh,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: why did I have any pictures with her? After? I
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, yeah, I was wearing all white. I
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: didn't want to use sticky shit on me, you know
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: what I mean? And then I was like, that was
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: the wrong outfit because I would like, I want the pictures, right,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I want to hold.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: But that's a great opp I think that's a good
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: tip if you don't want to be interacting with children,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: dress and all white.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Sure, yes, you heard it here first. If you're a
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: children hater, you can absolutely use that. For me. It
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: was accidental, and I'm a children.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Lover, right, that's a tough pill to swallow. I have
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: fallen into just what always wanting to wear a white
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: shoe a cream shoe, right, and they're dirty. I mean
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: they get dirty pretty quickly, but I don't know what
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: else to do. It's the only sort of shoe I
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: like to wear.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: At this point, I know what you're saying. I'm a
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: big chuck. Taylor's gal always sort of have maintained that
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: all the way through from kindergarten.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, wow, I.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Have many, like white pears, and they get dirty easy,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I think you just have you kind of have to
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: let go.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I was in a phase I don't even remember when
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: it was where I thought like dirty combers were really
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: cool when I was young, very punk, yes, and now no,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I like them very clean, like.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: A pristine shoe. What sort of shoe you wear?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I am wearing a platform a hug right now.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: It looks really cozy.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: It is cozy, and if I can say anything about me, Bridger,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: it's cozy.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: You are a cozy person.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: I am a close.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Cozy cap right now, you're in a very cozy sweater.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: It's very it's very frigid out.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: It's forty two degrees. I think this is the coldest
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: day in the last year for sure.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's so so cold. And last night too,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I was running to the car.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I was running to the car. I had my heat
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: bassing was still on this morning in the Preus cruising
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: over here, and I said, thank god, I'm on the
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: right setting, you know, and it's very frigid out.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: What temperature do you keep your place set? Hm hmm.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I do live in an old, old building and
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: it has one of those pilot type of old heaters.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Oh sure, sure, and that thing works like you wouldn't
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: even believe it incredible, And I because there's no insulation
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: in the wall, so it really so like sometimes I'm
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: firing that thing up and it's just I heat the
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: whole place up like an oven. That was last night.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: So but I don't know. And then you know, because
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: there's no insulation, when it's hot out, it's so hot up.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: There, right, there's no winning. What about you at night?
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I liked, I will turn the thermoset down to like sixty.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Two sixty two.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, essentially because I wanted to. I hate being hot.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, but you're like being cryogenically frozen.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I'm very warm under all of my covers.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Are you and do you run hot? Are you run cold?
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I think I that's a good question. I think I.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I think I have a perfectly tuned system. I run
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: just normal.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I think I run a little cold.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: You're cold, yeah, so you need to I feel like,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and I don't want to generalize it. I feel like
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of the women I know run cold.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know what's funny, is I It's not funny,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: it's deeply sick. I grew up in nineties Orange County
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: when like skinny girl like was all that mattered, you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: And I had the natural, god given physique of sort
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: of a shot putter, you know, And so I always
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: dreamed of being one of those fragile old girls.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Is that a thing? I guess?
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: So sad? I mean that that's sad to that that
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: could even be a dream of mine. My dreams, my
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: dreams are much resta shared listeners. My dreams are much, much,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: much different now that I've lived twenty lives since that sad, sad,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: deeply programmed age. But yeah, now I'm just you know,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: an aging, god willing, thank you woman who's chilled.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Chill, chilled woman girl.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, and I love soft materials. I love soft fabrics.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Do you love like high quality sheets? Yes?
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't classify them as like it. I mean, of
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: course I love a high quality sheet, but it's not
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: about them being high quality. It's I mean, like I
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: like a flannel sheet. Oh yeah, like you know, I
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: like a Jersey.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Soft I don't really like, I can't. I don't think
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I can really tell a difference between a I mean,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: a sheet has to be horrible for me to feel
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: like this is not a good sheet.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Or it's more like you just really know when
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: you're just like wow, when you get hit with a
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: fancy one.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Right, and you it's so infrequent that you don't even
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: get used to it, right, because you have to be
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: in a really nice place to be like this is
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: a good sheet. Yeah, And you have to be in
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: essentially jail to be on a bad sheet.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: So I feel like middle of the road sheets will be.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: So beautifully thank you, Yeah, thank you.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I should talk to more people about sheets.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: You know, I could talk to you about anything. I
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: could really get I feel. I just feel I get
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: lost in my conversations with you. It's so beautiful, you know.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Speaking of cozy, I was in Utah recently, and for
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: whatever reason, there's been a blanket craze in Utah, Like
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: every billboard is about blankets. It's so crazy. There's just
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: like a blanket war going on in Utah. And I
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: don't know why they're also.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Crazy about blankets or oh my god.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Several companies are fighting.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Wow, you're making my autistic ass want to get on
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: a plane. Right now, and tell me were you in
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Utah doing research on your your deep interest in the
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: in the Mormon Why.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: It goes hand in hand with being from Utah.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: So are you from Utah?
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I'm from you? Which part right outside of Salt Lake City? Oh? Okay?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Have you done shows there?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I have not?
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Actually have you been there?
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I have many times I'm looking to go. Actually, if
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: wise guys, the bookers are listening.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Whise guys should be booking Blair sake having it is ridiculous.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. That's a huge That is a huge
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: coast signe for me.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I have ridiculous Wise guys, reach out, Wise guys, I
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: believe in West Valley, Utah and West Jordan, Utah. Sure
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the fact that, I mean, just shut down if you're
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: not going to book Blair Sockey.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I've heard. I've actually spent been to many places in Utah.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Why because growing up, one of our big family trips
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: every year was like Powell.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love Lake Powell. It's so beautiful, majestic.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: There's nothing like it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, I don't. Really, it does feel like a
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: completely different category of lake compared to any other type
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: of lake.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, it really is if you've spent any time
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: there well, because the Grand Canyon is one of the
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: seven Winners of the World, right, isn't it is a lie?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Let's assume.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know whatever, but the rock formations and
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: the sunsets, what you see there, I'm like, I think anything.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: In the world. Oh, it's stunning.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: It looks like AI before we knew what AI was.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I hate AI.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I take that back. AI looks like garbage. It
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: does not look like AI.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Fuck you AI.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: It looks like beautiful, real nature.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be the first to get capped when they
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: become alive and sentient. But I you know, I'm so
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: analoged I have I'm not for you kill.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Me if AI takes over, I don't want to be
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: part of it anyway, that's true. Just the robots can
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: come for me, right, eat me, tear me to pieces,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: shred me like a chicken.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Do you think that they're studying like the fictional movies
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: like Her and Ex Machina interest.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I feel like they are. If they are, they're probably
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's embarrassing for us because they're probably like,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: this is nothing like us. That's how I feel about aliens, Like,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I feel like if aliens came here and saw the
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: movies we've made, we would all be so humiliated because
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: they'd be like, this is what you thought we were?
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Funny that you bring up aliens.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Bridger, why is that flair?
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Well, you know my new podcast called space Out, and
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I do have an interest in aliens.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Where did the interest come from?
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Well, it started in twenty twenty one when the government
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: sort of slipped in along with one member from Blink
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: one A two, a formative band of my youth in
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Orange County, warp Tour decided to devote his life to
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: you know, aliens. And then the government was like, they're real,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: And I was like what, I'm not some freak. I
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: never thought about aliens in my life. I'm not a
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: conspiracy theorist, you know, I'm a regular guy. I've read
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of literal chi chill what.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I'm a chilled, chilled woman, chilled woman.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: And then when in twenty twenty one, when our government
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, they're real and literally because of COVID
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: and the whole world falling apart, like no one cared.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: But I was like, what are you talking about? This
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: is insane? Because I never thought about it before that moment.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: You could never thought about it, just probably crazy.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know, I can't think about that.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: I got other shit to worry about.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: And that you're they getting into it.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Sort of it's you know, it's it's a light interest
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: I I but yeah, I think it's interesting that the
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: government would they have reasoning to tell us that it's real. Now,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: why they would choose to disclose that?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: What have you learned about aliens?
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm pretty sure they're realists at this point, you know.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I don't think that they would want to tell us
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: if there wasn't a need to. I am starting to
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: watch the documentaries now.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, yeah, well so many of those are so bad?
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, fine, that means you're watching them too, Bridgard. Huh.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I feel like I've tried and every time I'm like,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: there must be a really good one, and I can't.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I haven't found it yet.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Well, the new one that just came out called Age
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: of Disclosure, and it's pretty disturbing actually because it features
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: a lot of ex special teams people where you know,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: the top secret government coalitions that have been studying all
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: this and high high up ex military that have all
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: this experience and have been studying it for years.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: And they're revealing all of it. Well, what are they revealing?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: So my.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: And if you do choose to listen to my podcast,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: it's about womanhood, mental health, promote pop culture, and then
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: the very end of it, and I say, and a
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: little bit of aliens. So I don't want you to
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: think there's just one tiny segment at the end called
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Galactic Gossip. My point in saying that is I don't
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: want you to think the podcast is just about relien. Yeah,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: it's just tiny, tiny part.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do a podcast called Strictly Aliens.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Oh please, I'd love to be a guest when you
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: have time.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: No.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: But the thing is that scared me on that thing
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: is because my idea and I do have a long
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: bit about this, was that aliens are benevolent because otherwise
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: they look at it like dogs, you know, like we're
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: like much more rudimentary compared to them, and if they
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: wanted a harmost, they would have blown our asses up
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: years ago. And I think that they're just like patrolling
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: around and make sure we don't blow ourselves up.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're just biting their time, like a cat playing
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: with a its prey.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a little more disturbing thought.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that's a possibility.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I am an optimist. And but then
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Age of Disclosure caused some concern.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Is age of disclosure? There's this new Spielberg movie called
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Disclosure about aliens. It must be based on that.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: But that's I mean, because it's of such confidence.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think it is, because I think this was
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: probably being.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Made well that well, yeah.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Interest, but who knows. Maybe I don't know.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: All I know I saw the trailer. There were a
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: lot of very fake CG idea. This is a big
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: problem in Hollywood, I think, is CG idea. I feel
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: like there's some sort of c G I house. It's
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: tricking every director and saying no, they'll look real this time,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: and then they never look real.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Well it's I think this is a very important idea
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: that you're raising, is that we are not being scupulous
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: enough with the deer.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: With the deer we've got, people are.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Overlooking deer as if it's something simple and it's really not.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: It could ruin the whole movie for people with trained eye.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, if I see a cgi deer, I might
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: as well just get up and leave the theater, right,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: because you know it's so disruptive. The first one I
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: ever really noticed was in that Three Billboards movie with
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Francis McDorman.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I know it well.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: She meets a deer in it. Clearly a fake deer, right,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I'm out right. I mean I had a lot of
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: problems with that movie, but so.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Did everyone except for me. Apparently, I thought it was exquisite.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know, though, I could have had a gummy,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: which my friends like to remind me sometimes could affect
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: how my appreciate a film. Yeah, sure, Greta likes to
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: say this to me sometimes.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: She just reminds you of my reviews. Right right. Did
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: you see the new Avatar?
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I haven't, did you?
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I saw the first forty five minutes. Oh Bridger, that's
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: all I need, That's all I need.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Look, I will say I saw the first one in theater.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: I thought it was majestic. I did watch the second one.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: I still think it's cool. I'll probably watch it like
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: when it gets to my house, when it arrives.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: At my home, just like James Cameron wants you to
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: see it and.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Along with My Fair Life.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: That movie was meant to be seen on a thirty
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: inch screen with a fair Life in hand.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Sounds exquisite.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Well, I feel like there's something else we need to
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: talk about. You brought it up at the beginning of
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: the podcast. You brought a gift for the third time.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Look, I'm my own person. Just because you tell me
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: not to do something doesn't necessarily mean but I'm not
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: gonna do it. Baby, women have credit cards. Now we
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: can have property to me for now, For now we
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: have I'm that Well that sounds like you, mister forty
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: five minutes of Avatar. Okay, so I decided, you know,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: because I have manners, okay, to bring a little something.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Well, should we open it here on the podcast?
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'd love it if you did that.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: All right. It's in this gorgeous brown bag.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, natural textures and fibers.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Very nice paper back. Reacher, what listen to that crinkle?
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I haven't even brought it out yet. Okay, it's nothing. Okay.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Is this is this a brownie from Starbucks?
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: It is? And here's the thing I have to tell
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: you about this.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's put it here for now.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I sensed I have pretty heightened into it that you
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: are a fancy coffee guy. Oh interesting, And as a
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: lot of our peers are in the arts, I cannot
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: count myself amongst you. I have a lot of issues
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: with these baroque coffee shops, okay, because you know, I
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: like my Jumbo, I like my Jumbo forty ounce iced
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: coffee with sugar free vanilla whatever. And I don't like
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: when I go, usually with a friend, to these coffee shops,
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: the rudeness. They act like I am I'm committing a
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: crime by walking into their small business. They are upset
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: the large is in eight ounce, They only have macadamia
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: nut milk and a whole milk, and they look like
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: I'm crazy for I know it took me forever to
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: adapt to almond milk. I'm not. I can't do another one,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: you know. So anyways, I stick to the Starbucks. And
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: here's the thing. My Starbucks, my local Starbucks. I won't
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: say which one. I'm not trying to dox myself. They
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: all know my name. Theirs couldn't be more friendly, no
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: matter how busy that place is. They act like I
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: just return home from war and I and look, I
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: know it turns my frown right upside down. And look,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: I know there are problems with large corporations. The people
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: there are too nice. They are my family.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Keep talking, Blair, I've got it. I'm I have a rebuttal.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: And and this is where we and this is where
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: we land the plane. M I have long for many
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: years said that They're brownie is like one of the
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: best brownies I've ever had.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: These are two issues I can really speak to. And
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I'm going I'm just going to take the floor for
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: a moment. I love very good coffee, and I love
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: going to a local, small place. And now I'm going
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: to I would say every fifth episode of this podcast,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I advertise for Found Coffee in Eagle Rock, California, which
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: is none of the things you've just described.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: No, I anticipated all of this, so don't worry. I
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: am ready.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: The coffee I'm currently drinking is from Found Coffee. The
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: nicest crew of people in the world. This is going
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: to change your mind about small coffee shops. Every one
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: of them is an absolute angel. The prices are perfect.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Oh they're not seventeen dollars for six ounces, and some
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: sort of just angry, just hateful.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: No, you will be frequently greeted by the owner Annie
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: or the general manager Arvin. I've gotten to a point
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: I've like I kind of black out when I go
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: in because they know exactly what I want. I like,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I'll walk up to the counter and I won't even
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: say what I want. And sometimes I'm like, oh, I
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: should probably say what I want. They might not the
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: employee might not know, but we're just kind of in
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: sync there in such a way that they sometimes they'll
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: have the coffee ready for me before I even come
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: in the door.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, I love this. I think this is spectacular.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: And I have to just balance out because the advertisement
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: for Starbucks.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: You question, and look, I'm not trying to advertise for Starbucks.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I wish I didn't even have to say the name. Okay,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: I'm not proud of this. Look I like I'm you know,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: in many in almost all facets of my life, I'm
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: quite a complicated, layered individual. In this one, I'm a
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: simple goal.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: This is what I'll say.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I got.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I will go to Found six days a week, sometimes
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: seven days a week. I've been going there for years.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: At this point, I'm not such a snob that I
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: won't go to Starbucks. I think Starbucks has its purpose.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I'll go there and get a massive cold brew. Sometimes
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: sometimes I'll ask no ice and so it'll just be
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: pure cold brew.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: But that is incredible.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: That's only when you know, those are some very rare circumstances.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: And I've always had good service at Starbucks, and the
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: employees are always very nice to me, and I'm always
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: very nice to them. But we live in a city
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: that is truly especially I live in Highland Park. There
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: is a coffee shop probably every half a block. It's
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: the exact opposite of where I grew up in Utah.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: There's essentially two good coffee shops in the entire state.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Great sunsets, though.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Gorgeous sunsets in the mountains are beautiful. Right, coffee, It's
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: a slightly tough situation. Yeah, but I love found coffee.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: So I just like I'm using my platform for good
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: to fight you.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: My boyfriend is a he's a big Starbucks person.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Right, And here's the thing, And I will make this distinction.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: In the few times that I have been lucky enough
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: to go overseas and stuff, and you're like at a
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: restaurant in I don't know, Italy, or something and they
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: give you a coffee and you're like, Okay, wow, this
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: tastes great. I love that. But I'm not like a
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: huge coffee person.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Oh so I'm not obviously, yeah.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not drinking the coffee. I don't really drink
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: a hot coffee very often. It's more, uh, you know,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: means to an end. For me was the jumbo. I
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: need the caffeine and I like the straw all the stuff.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: So so I completely understand that if I were like
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: a real coffee drinker and the way that I like food,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: I fully understand. I but this is somehow formulated to
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: be a.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Perfect brown Okay. And this is the next thing I
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: want to speak to, which is brownies. People. I don't
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: think they realize how easy it is to make a
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: good brownie. I frequently make them from a mix.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: I used to do a mix a lot as a child.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: It was really one of the only things that my
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: mother did let me do alone. All you needed was
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: an egg or one water or something.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: That a mix usually requires, like one egg, some water
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: and oil and then the mix. And if you get
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: a good brand, what I do is I switch the
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: water for coffee, and sometimes the oil for butter. Unbelievable.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: They're so good, right, and so I have to imagine
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Starbucks has a good brownie. Can I try it?
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Please? It's very good.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, it looks like a good brownie. It looks like
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: a good texture.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: For years, because you know, I walk every day, That's
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: what I like to do for exercise. I just you know,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: I'm sort of known on the East Side to just
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: be seen walking, tripsing, shuffling around and sometimes over the
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: many years, the week before my period, anyone talk about
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: menstruation on this podcast?
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I do constantly.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: I stop in on my walk, pick myself up brownie,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: the Starbucks brownie. I say a little will, I say
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: a little Richin and said, this is the time of
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: the month. I'm picking up a brownie. Boys, and do
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: I enjoy everybody of that?
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I want to try good because that's also some like
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: chocolate pieces in it that I feel like are going
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: to be part of the experience.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: How much are you walking each day?
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I walk between four and five miles?
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Do you ever have a destination or is it just
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: aimless walking? Oh?
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: No, it's a route. I have a route.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, that seems dangerous to me. Somebody could catch
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: on and start following you.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're listening to this and looking to catch
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: me or follow me, please don't do that because I'd
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: like to just continue on my route.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: How long have you had this route?
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, many years, say several years.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Is there ever a temptation to go off the root? Yeah?
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Sometimes I do. Like sometimes I get meet these girlfriends
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: and they go, well, like, let's go on my route,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: and you know, the autism starts twitching right and then
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I say, okay. But I did the other day and
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: it was quite nice. I let my friend take me
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: on another route because I'm trying to do that a
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: little bit in twenty twenty six. Have new experiences me too,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: you are, Oh yeah, I love the New year goals
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: and mantras and ideas and intentions.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: And I feel like I'm pretty good at sticking to
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: I give myself a very loose resolution. I'm usually pretty
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: good at like integrating it into my life and then
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: it's just my life. Me too, And I feel like
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: new experiences is a very easy thing to accomplish.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, well, I want to target fun more. Yes, And
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: just add I don't have new texture. That's precisely it,
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: and I just want things. I need to add more
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: things to my life that don't have means to an end.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, that's almost my entire life is just means
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: to an end at this point. I know.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Well that's what I mean. I mean to make a
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: living as an artist, like, yeah, it's difficult. Yeah, it's good,
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: especially if you have an online shopping problem.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, it takes up your entire day. I know,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: you wake up and you're just means to an end, yeah,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: all the way through, and it's rarely a new experience.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Right, So I guess I have to go to Founder's
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Coffee and Highland.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Park Found Coffee and Eagle Rock.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: The Rock opsies, so oops.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I want you to go there. We're going to meet there.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I've been waiting for this invitation to
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: see you for years actually, so this is great.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Hard to get the invitation and we're going to get
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: a coffee and you're going to love it.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I will love it.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: When you order a an iced coffee at Starbucks, you've
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: got cold brew or.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Iced coffee, it depends on the day, because I.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Personally think their iced coffee is the worst liquid on earth.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I honestly think. It's like I cannot believe that they
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: have the gall to charge money for this. It feels
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: like it's coming out of a dirt, just like dirty
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: tap water or something.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: I do get the cold brew. Sometimes I switch off,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: like it depended on how to. But like you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: this morning, when I went to go procure your perfect brownie,
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: perfectly formulated brownie me with love and care in the
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: home kitchen over there in Los Relish, I got one
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: of their's like refreshers, because I was like, oh, I
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: just don't feel like coffee today, right.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: You brought that on and you were actually asked to
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: take it off camera, which is very funny because we're
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: now just advertising.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: I know, and I was concerned about this, and I
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: was like I don't want to. I don't know if
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: I should say the name. You know, I'm not trying
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: to advertise for corporations, but I will say like earlier
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: this year, I was dating this guy from my past
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: and he and he lived in Orange County, and he
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: took me to all his neighborhood like fancy ass coffee shops,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: and I kept getting humiliated, like every time we'd go,
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: they just beat they I would just like ask for
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: a large iced coffee and they like, we don't have that,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: and I don't have that, and they would have been
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: like I was just like, okay, I'm not supposed to
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: be here. I am not as erudite as your clientele.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Who okay, who has PhDs and as fits into.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Your that's so irritating.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: But it was like four different places and each time
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: like he was and I'm not used to being met like,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I'm a very friendly person, so I'd be shocked every
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: time too, Like I was just you.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Know, that's really unfair of the employee. I think the
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: most you can do in that situation and say we
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: don't have ice coffee, we do have cold brewer, nice
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Americana with that work, and be nice about it.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: See, this is why I should be working in the
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: coffee business. I know exactly how to handle a customer.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: If I say, if I ever start, if I ever,
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: because I'm super into coffee, start my own coffee shop,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: then I will be very kind. I'll probably have a
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: lot of very clear signs. I'll probably say like, look,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: if you are like a more mainstream coffee person, you're
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: welcome here too. We won't you know, discriminate against you.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: And here are maybe some possible orders if you're not
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: deep deep in to local artisanal coffee.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Lorem. I've dreamed about opening a coffee shop that is
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: literally just one. You either have hot or cold coffee,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: and there's no other option, where the store may be
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: just called this is all we have. And then you
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: go in and there's you don't even have an option.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: But what's the option between hot and cold?
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: The coffee's hot or cold. That's all you get to say.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, you don't get to add anything nothing. Oh you're
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: a nasty Oh you're a nasty boy. You're a nasty
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: nasty boy. Pridier, What do you think? This is like
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: what we're panning for gold in the eighteen hundreds. You
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: can't do that, that's twisted.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: What are you like?
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Would you like hot or cool gasoline on your way
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: to work? To ship your pants faster that you can
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: make it to a bathroom? The Bridger wander, do you
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: have the digestive system of sort of thor or what?
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Look I'm drinking I know, well.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: No, don't think I didn't notice. I noticed. I was
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: a straight back coffee and I knew what was coming. Next,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: and I knew we're gonna have a whole tussle, but
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: I knew, you know, it'll provide for many different we
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: can do. This would be like, as the Republicans love
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: to say, reaching across the iron. Yes, this is the
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk episode of coffee and so, and someone who
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: has the balls to go into a space where they
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: disagree and reach across the aisle is so they should
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: be celebrated.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. No. I I've had a weird coffee journey because
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: I first started drinking coffee when I was interning in
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: New York and my bosses would order the coffee and
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: they had terrible taste, and they would order all of
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: us these massive like hazel nut flavored.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: The girl in front of me was doing that nightmares,
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: some poor pier like probably yeah.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: And so I would drink all of it. But I
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: would always just think this is terrible. But I was
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: too afraid to ask for anything else. And then as
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: a response to that, I started drinking black coffee just
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: to be like, well, maybe what does this taste like?
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: And now that's all they can drink. Occasionally I tried
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: to spoil myself. I'll say, oh, maybe I'll try a
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: fancy coffee, drink a cappuccino.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: I like a cappuccino like that too, That's totally fine.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: A cappuccino to me, if chic tastes great, I don't
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: need to put anything in.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: It, right, just milk and coffee.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: It's just it tastes right. Yeah, black coffee. I'm like this,
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: this is a kerosene, you know. This is.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: See that is when Starbucks first got cold brew on
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: their menu, they weren't like diluting it or something, and
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: so you would get it. And I honestly thought, I
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: was like my bones were burning when I would drink it.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: It was gas they were serving gasoline. But this cold brew,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: for example, tastes wonderful, has actual flavor to it.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: That's still so crazy that you drink cold brew without
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: cutting it. Wait, so, if you grew up in Utah
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: famously you know, not high up on the.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Coffee, really high bottom of the barrel.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Was it gay hood that initiated you or how did
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: you get into being such, you know, a master of
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: the coffee.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: I think I just I well, I think just my
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: body chemistry kind of demanded it. I need a lot
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: of caffeine in my body to operate.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: How many cups a day are we doing?
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: I will do probably two cold Bruce Okay, but that's
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: the largest size that ciri, so really too largest for you.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Is actually two thirds of one of my largest But.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: But this is stronger than a Starbucks cold broke.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, I agree with you.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: There it's a more intense cold brew and then the
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: other one I make it home.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: So basically, you your coffee equivalent is like drinking vodka
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: on the rocks.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little bit that.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: You are hardcore. You are hardcore.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just like the I like coffee. I know,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people don't like coffee. They
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: drink it. Yeah, I mean, I guess you're.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: And it's the same thing with sheets, you know, right,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Like if I go to when you're getting your car
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: service and they have that shitty coffee there, like I'm
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: not drinking, No.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Why even serve that? But I'm not going to drink
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: it like anyone is.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: No, I think people do. They don't care, you know,
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: I like the office. I'm not doing that interest. But yeah,
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: like it started when I lived in New York is
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: when I started drinking the the huge iced coffee is
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: because I'd never slept. I had like fifteen jobs and
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: eighty shows.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: All night, and right, you had no choice.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know I was drinking so much beer
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: at night. My cheeks look like I was storing a
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: corns in there.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: So it was just something you had to get used
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: to then.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: But yeah, like it. But if I do, it's the
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: same thing as sheets for me. Like if I do
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: taste a nice coffee, like a cappuccino, I'm not drinking
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: black coffee ever, that's never gonna.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get you to drink some I don't
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: want to.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Drink a black coffee. Yeah, there's no, there's not enough
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: soul to me. It's too earnest hemingway. Okay, I need
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: you know. I'm a fluffy guy. I'm not a very
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: hardcore guy.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: You're in uggs right now.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: No, I need you know. I need a lot of comforts.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: You just need a plush.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: I need a soft Yeah, I need a softer life.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I love I like a nice cappuccino. I
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: really enjoy that, like after an after dinner cappuccino. No,
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: I get so Italian.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: I can't do that.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm getting decaf.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're getting dere a line.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: To me, I probably won't be able to sleep. Can
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: you Are you a good sleeper?
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: No? Okay, right, I would say I'm a fine sleeper, right,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: but I feel like I frequently just don't actually get
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: any rest. Yeah. Same, I'm unconscious on a mattress, right,
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: but then I wake up at probably worse off.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: I do dream, and I know this isn't a unique subject.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: I do dream of going back to childhood without the phone,
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: the smartphones. And I did hold myself back considerably in
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: this career by only starting to post clips a year
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: and a half ago, so many of us, yeah, because
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I'm going to do it a
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: different way. This isn't this doesn't feel.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: You didn't feel like being an eyemovie all the time.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: It just didn't feel authentic to me. And now I've
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: just realized, you know, other people who I found to be,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: you know whatever, less talented or less experienced, were lapping me,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: and I was like, this is just the way of
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: the world.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Oh it's absolutely terrible. Yeah, so you know, yeah, there's
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: kind of no choice at this point. You have to
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: make a clip, but I want to.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: I remember like don't you remember when you were a kid,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: And sadly, anyone gen Z listening to this will not understand.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: But like having a summer day that felt like it
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: was seventy two hours, like being bored, yeah, and just
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: like going outside and just like wow, this day is
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: like never ending. And I read so much my whole life,
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: Like before I was going to be a comedian, I
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: originally was going to be a novelist. Like I went
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: to grad school to become a novelist.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, I had no idea.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's why I moved to New York.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: And then I actually started calming that I forget it.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Do you write long form at all anymore?
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: I wanta start a comedy during grad school and I
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: was like, this is way easier.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: This kind of happened to me.
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and so but I mean, like the sadness of
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: how nourishing reading a book. It feels like truly meditation
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: and like you know, some dark floating tank. Now it's sad.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Because our brains are ruined.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like my brain is ruined, I speak for myself.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Do you still read?
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Yes? But not like I mean that's one of my
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: things this year that I will be focusing on is
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: reading fiction?
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: Sure, sure, because again I had many years where I
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: was reading every psychological This was before I got tested
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: for my oh my Nord Divergente. But I was like,
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: I realized I had been like reading psych I'd read
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: like every psychology book for like twenty years. And then
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, good thing, I got to the
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: bottom of it. I don't want to I need to
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: read books that are like art and not to just
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: still like constantly be trying to improve myself.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: Right, have you picked a book you're going to read first?
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: I just purchased two books.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: One is.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: I already forgot the names.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm so terrible with what I'm reading.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: I forget titles of everything. It's actually part of Anthony
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: jessel Nix. Oh.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: The service he's doing with his book club, I think
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: is really admirable.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: It is, and he really does read like that. Now
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: I'm just trying to find the names.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Apparently it seems like he reads a book a day.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: Well, I toured with him and he has someone handle
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: like a social media So what the hell is the
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: name of this book? It is called The Getaway by
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: Jim Thompson, and I was like asking him, and then
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: I bought Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow. Before that, I was asking him.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, are these books only for men?
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: He's like, no, bad bitch, just can read that too.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: But I am going to be reading that one and
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: trying to keep up with that because he said, he's like, oh,
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: you'll love like all the books I chose, like it's
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: designed for people who may have not been reading, or
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: have been taking a reading and taking a break from reading,
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: or never been readers to get back in.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He from what I've seen of his selections, they
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: seem like artful, interesting things but not super difficult to
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: get into.
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean he does read really big, difficult ones.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: But like when we when I spend a year on
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: the road with him, traveling every week, like that's all
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: he does.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Is read because he's not on social media.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: No, he doesn't spend his time on It's incredible. I
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: wonder it's like back to yesteryear. Right, and he buys
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: physical books?
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, are your kindle or physical books?
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: I go back and forth. I'm more physical though, unless
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: it's like a gigantic book. I don't want to carry
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: that around, right, that's.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: A I need to get more into physical books. I
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: do think I like take more out of it. When
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: I'm reading from physical book.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: It makes me feel more like I did as a kid,
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: or like I'm connecting with something tangible, Like I just
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: want to completely divorce myself from digital right life.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: And there's a real feeling of progress when you're reading
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: a physical that's so true, where you feel like you're
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: accomplishing something with a kindle. It's just like, well this I.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Know, and you read seven hundred pages and you're like, yeah.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Exactly, Well, is there anything left to say about this brownie?
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Do you want some? No?
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: Thank you? Actually, I don't please you.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a very good brownie, and I don't
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: want to eat the entire thing.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, it's an exquisite brownie.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: This is going to be my treat tonight.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: Like for the viewers the way that pold and it's
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: soft in the center, in the perfectly amount of soft.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: It's just it's not too guy, but it's very moist,
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: and it's just so reliable because they make it with
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: such home loving care over there.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and again I'll say, if you can't get one
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: of these, uh, making one at home the Giadelli mix, unbelievable.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: It's so good. That is so true. It's really a
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: good brownie mix, and it's whenever I make it, I'm like,
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: this is not that much easier than just making them yourself,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: but it does eliminate like one step.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: Well, if you're out and you need a treat and
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: you're on your walk once a month and and then
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: and then you're like, h I have a I have
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: a craving in my loins. I cannot be satisfied. But
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: anything else right now?
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Will?
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: I said, will hand it over, Pale, We're going in today.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: And then you have that by and you're like, it's
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: everything I remembered it to be.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: I love a brownie. Oh we didn't talk at all
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: about Australia.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: True. I have a question for you though. Do you
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: never do an energy drink under under any circumstances?
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: No? I don't really like I If I'm offered like
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: a like a red Bull or something.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: Like red Bull's disgusting.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: I don't mind a red Bull sugar free, I'll do it.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: What are you drink? Is an energy drink?
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: Celsius, Well, I'm off them now because I really care
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: about my health. But I had a couple of years
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: there where I was also buying the.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Flats online of the Celsius.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: And I had it every day for two years, and
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: and then I got off them, Thank God, God Willing.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: You know who's a huge advocate of those and Zach
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Nooy Towers.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: I love Zach Tower.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: I was obsessed with Celie.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: I will say that all my sober friends, which is
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: seventy percent of comedians at this point, especially if you're
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: a new comedian, when you get into your thirties, just
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: all your friends will become sober. They love it because
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: that's they're partying, right. They alto love horror movies and
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: roller coasters, all of your sober friends, Yeah, because they
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: they're addicts and they need the they need their acceptable right.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: This is interesting because I've I have never really drank,
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: and I love all those things. So maybe I'm secretly,
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: you know, some sort of alcoholism could be unlocked.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know. Like I and me a deeply
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: sensitive individual. My nervous system so fragile, delicate, the soft fabrics,
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: and that's why I need, you know, a nice little
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: milk in my coffee. You know, I'm not I don't
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: quite have the same power as that. But a horror
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: movie will absolutely ravage my nervous system. I don't watch
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: any scary movie. Okay, I like a psychological thriller that's
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: non violent. I do like that.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Is that? What the what's that new thing that just
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: came out the Housemaid? Is that what it's called?
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know because I can never remember a title
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: in my life.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's kind of a ecological thriller.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: Well was the one, you know, like all these like
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: all Her Fault and the one with Claire Dames and
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: Matthew Reese. Incredible. There was a few moment of extreme
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: violence the beast in me.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: Oh I wanted to see.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that Brownie must have turn on some synapses.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: I love all the Apple TV ones, like The Girl,
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: the Girl That Are for the Girls.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: The Girl from the Girls.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: No, you know, it's like the thriller series, the Octavia
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: Spencer one, the Jennifer Garner one.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Does Nifer Garner go missing?
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: Now her husband does?
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: Okay? Yeah, well I think we should play a game.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'd love to thank you.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: We're gonna play Gift or a Curse? But I need
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: a number between one and ten from you nine. Okay,
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: I have to go do my like calculating, So right

• 54:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's humie. I'm going to be banned from that coffee.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: They're probably going to ban me just for talking about
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: them so much. They're gonna be like, you came on
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: too strong.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: What if I brought a gigantic bucket and a shrawl?
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: How many of your large coffee.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: Would fit into the bucket. Yeah, it's a good question.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not good with spatial.
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: Oh me neither. I don't involve myself with mathematical issues.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, let's play. Let's play gift or a curse.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: I'm going to name three things. You're gonna tell me
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: if they're a gift or a curse and why, and
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: then I'll tell you if you're right or wrong, because
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: there are correct answers, all right. This first one is
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: from a listener named Aaron. Gift or a curse people
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: who go out of their way to return cheap tupperware
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: I really think it depends on the person. And I
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: know that this question doesn't allow for nuance. No, except
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: I have the sweetest neighbor his named Camillo, and I
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: love him, and anytime he finds gets wind from my
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: ninety free year old neighbor Maria that I have come
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: and fallen down with illness, all of a sudden he
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: arrives with a freshly homemade soup. I can't even believe it.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: And then it's so sweet, and so I don't want
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: to be rude to assume that he doesn't want his
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: tupperware back, but he always tells me I don't have
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: to bring it back. So I've gone back and forth. Right,
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: gift a curse Blair, to answer the goddamn question, To.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Answer the question, curse wrong gifts. I need all of
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: my tupperware back. That is a piece of furniture essentially,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: and when I give it to you, I'm not giving
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: it away. Right, that's family heirloom. That's something that I
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: will put other food in.
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: What are they doing with I respect your opinion.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: I brought you food. I didn't bring you plastic wear.
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: Right, but tupperware is different than the you know, the
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: business you're buying at the grocery. You know, and you
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: mean like the brands, Yeah, meant the ones that are
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: meant to be like single use, which is quite bad
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: for environment.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Right, No, it's an absolute gift.
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: You're wrong, But I was on your side.
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: Also, I don't care if you're on my side.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: You're wrong, Okay, that's fine. I accept that. I am.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: I have to say, I have been returning to tubberware.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: You have been returning, so you're a good person. Yeah,
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: ultimately you're a good person.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: I agree, Thank you, all right.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: The second one is from a listener named John, And
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: this is interesting because we were just kind of talking
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: about this gift or a curse. Horror movies that have
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: a PG thirteen rating.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: Well, anything slightly scary as a horror movie to me,
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: So I have a different idea of the genre. I
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: will say I don't watch most horror movies, like mostly
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: all of them. But I did watch Sinners. Oh sure,
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: and that's because people told me that I would like it,
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: and they were correct, people who knew me. Well, incredible movie.
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know where I'm going with this because I
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: just realized, I don't think that's PG thirteen. Yeah, so
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: what is rated PG thirteen? That's a horror movie.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: A lot of movies sixth Sense the others.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: Oh really, I've never seen others. I have seen The
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: Sixth Sense, and that's considered a horror movie.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I would say so. I mean, it's got
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of scary things in it.
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: I have to rewatch it. I watched it once when I.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Was a child when it came out, and it didn't scare.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: Kind of shit on me. But I didn't know if
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: that was because it was my age or my sensitive constance.
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: Shouldn't have to have a rewatch man. We can do
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: that after foul coffee.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Oh great?
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: Also the Ring classic one, The Ring absolutely, Oh that's
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: a PG thirteen And that's because it's not like obvious.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: Scre or head chop offs. Yeah, it's not as gratuitous,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: I guess, right.
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I actually I guess have to go gift
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: because I like that. That's what I'm looking for.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Correct. Yeah, I think this is a real gift. I
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: think this is an underrated thing. I think horror movies
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: that are PG thirteen are often more scary because they're
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: more restrained.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what I would have called, I guess a
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: psychological thriller.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: But it's not right, no, because kind of what we've
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: just been like the others is a like a ghost movie.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: Oh it's so good.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: You would like the others.
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: You would love. That's a very good one. Sixth sense
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: the Ring, Are there any other I feel like they're
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch that like they're much more in control
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: of themselves. Right, They're confident in being scary. They don't
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: need to show you as much. Okay, I think part
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: of a scary thing in a horror movie is saying less. Right,
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: So you can imagine how scary it is. Right. I
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: think it's an absolute gift. I got that right.
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: That issue. It's like when you're around someone and they
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: don't talk that much, they are like kind of scarier
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: because you're like, what the fuck are they thinking? Why
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: are they being so? What are they up to?
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: What game are they playing? Okay, this is the find. Okay,
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: you've gotten one right so far. This is from a
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: listener named Meg Gift or a curse receiving ads in
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: your non native language.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: When has this happened?
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: It happens more?
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, Well, that was probably like really colonial of
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: me to make that assumption. Probably a lot of non
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: English speaking people. Oh my god. I just checked myself
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: and I've made a lot of miss hoops. I promoted
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: a large corporation and I just acknowledge that and apologize
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: to everyone I've let down.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Me.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: It would be a gift because I don't like the ads,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: but I understand that artists, like ourselves, we need to
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: have the ads to support our artistic ventures. Is the
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: only way that we can exist subsist. So for me,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: it's a gift. But I guess for a I don't know.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: As a listener. It's a gift as a as a
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: proprietor probably not.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: You're correct, I think this is an absolute gift. I
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: love to receive an AD in a different language. First
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: of all, I think I love to watch an ad.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: I just think that how exciting I get to see
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: this stupid little movie. Second of all, when it's in
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: another language, it's not as effective on me. So now
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: I get to just watch the ad and really focus
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: on the art of the commercial right.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: That is a problem for me. I am an extremely
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: easily moved consumer. And because you know, it's a dopamine
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: thing deficiency issue, but.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: It's very nice to get one, and you know, I'll
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: occasionally get one in Spanish. It's like a little lesson.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I love the Spanish ones because I like to
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: see how much I can understand and like Italian.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's almost a test for you.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like I do enjoy that. But yeah, like I
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: would have. I mean, I don't think i've actually been
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: unless the traveling or something. I'm not in many many
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: scenarios where I'm hearing them in other languages. But I
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: would like to feel a little bit impervious to me
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: buying something for one second.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be put a wall between you and the purchase.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: I'm receiving them more and more. I don't know if
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: it's like a mistake by whatever app I'm using that
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: they don't realize that I don't speak any other languages,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: or if this is just like they just send out
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: language or ads in all languages at this point and
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: just hope they hit the right target.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: Are you watching a lot of foreign films? That sounds
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: like something you would do.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: I'm watching a lot of housewives.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: Oh do you watch the.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course that's the only one I watch. Do
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: you love it?
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: That finale was really good?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: I thought the finale was terrible. I know that Greek
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: play that you had to watch, Well, I.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: Mean it's sheer brutality at this point. I mean that
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: was like that was like worse than the Comedy Central roast,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: like like it was every second was cruel and brutal,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: like psychological torture, warfare.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: But I want to watch them saying those things to
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: each other. I don't want to act it out by
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: Greek actors.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: I thought I thought it was interesting.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: I thought it was so bad. Who can say, oh,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: that would help for sure? No, I was really let
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: down by that that episode.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: I thought it was interesting, I did you know it is.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: I do think that Heather's like always trying to like
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: recreate her you know, receipts proof.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know, she's kind of gotten into this thing
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: where she's like that worked, and now I'm going to
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: keep trying.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I I thought it was a good.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: Do you think something happened on the plane with Meredith?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Do you?
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: I would say ninety nine percent. But the only weird
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: thing is is that there's no cell phone footage of it,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: which you think if there was like somebody acting out
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: on a plane, somebody would have been covertly filming it.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: But I guess maybe if she was surrounded by and
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: also especially Brittany, who has a past of recording them
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: on her phone.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think there's ways around that, right, buying
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: footage whatever. I mean, I just don't think there's any.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: Way at this point, right maybe Andy.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: And I don't. And I do think that it will
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: come about later.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: I think probably as well, unless they kick her off
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: the show. Yeah, well, you've got uh two out of three.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: That's incredible, pretty good, that's a very good score.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: And I mean, I know that you know it's not
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: open to interpretation, but to think that I got the
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: first one right as well?
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: So gorgeous. Well, I think we should answer a listener
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: question people writing into I said, no gives a Gmail
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: dot com. Let's answer a question.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: I have to write that down in my phone so
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: I can email.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, please email constantly. All right, this is Highbridger. I'm
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: writing to see if you can help me. I'll answer
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: right now, yes I can. My mother in law used
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: to transfer me three hundred dollars for my birthday every year,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: and suddenly she stopped. No three hundred dollars this year.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: What do I do? Doubt I can find a way
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: to bring it up. Take care. And that's from Jelina. Jelena,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: Jelena j E L E n A. How would you
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: say that, Helena?
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: Oh h, Jelina, I'm guessing I'm just taking a stab
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: in the dark.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: Jelina, I think that makes the most sense. Jelina's mother
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: in law has been sending her three hundred dollar for
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: probably decades at this point, e transferring it and suddenly
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: that's no longer a thing. How was she supposed to
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: solve this issue? She apparently lives or dies on this
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: three hundred dollars. Every year she's been counting on it,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: she's been cut off.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: I don't think you can mention it just my personal
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: you know, people giving money, you don't know the situation.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: And it is tricky because there is a chance something
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: happened with her online banking mistake and then you're worried like, oh,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: I didn't thank her or something right, but I had
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: this happen a family member first time ever not sent
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: a gift this year, or like a card or whatever.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: And it's like, you can't just be like lit worth
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: more morning. You're know, we're moing.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: But there are more subtle ways to do it.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: Well, what do you propose?
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could send, for example, your family member
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: a thank you card and then he'll be like, wait,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: did I send her something? I can't remember if I
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: sent her something, and then it becomes a whole thing
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: for him that he has to deal with. And this
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: is what Jelina could be doing. Or I mean, she
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: could thank mother in law for the three hundred dollars,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: and you know the think you says, thank you so
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: much for the three hundred dollars that you always send
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: me every year, and then maybe that sparks something in
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: the mother in law's mind, Oh I forgot right. Or
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: the other way around this is to call her right
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: now and say, do you need three hundred dollars? Maybe
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: the mother in law needs the three hundred dollars and
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: if she doesn't, she'll that will also click something in
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: her brain. She'll think, I don't, but you do. Let
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: me eat transfer it to you right now.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: Right right. See. Wow, these are you had a lot
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: of solutions at the top of your and I like that.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: You're not afraid to get confrontational.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: Right when money comes into play, You just have to confront.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: Like a freelancer.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, consider yourself a freelancer. With your mother in law.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: The other way is you can cut off your gift
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: for her. You could have a summons something like this,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: just a slammer. Slam this lady for three hundred bucks
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: small claims court. Yeah, exactly, sue her for the birthday
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: gift that she didn't send you. That feels like the
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: people's court. My mother in law used to send me
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: three hundred dollars and I didn't get it this year,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: So now I'm suing her for that. Could be an option,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: and then.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: What if they went to the court and then the
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: mother in law was like, wow, yeah, actually I wasn't
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: asked to the children's school thing, and so I feel
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: it was an appropriate response.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: Well, then we're getting into the real communication that needed
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: to happen anyway. You know, this family is not being
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: honest with each other, right, Everyone's hiding something. Obviously. The
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: mother is in deep financial trouble and so she can't
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: send the money, and she's also mad about the recital.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: Everything's falling apart for everyone. And if they were just
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: honest to each other, I think everything would be.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: Fine, right, Or maybe the mother in law just decided
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: to buy one coffee at Maroo Coffee and so she
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: was unable to.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: You've really come from Maru Coffee here?
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: Well, my local watering hole is only two blocks up
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: from Maroo Coffee, in which I see a forty person
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: line and I think, oh, these, oh these I they
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: think they've read more than me.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, this sounds like a you problem.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: I have read more than them. That's just something I know.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: This sounds like you're just assuming the way they think
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: about you.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: If they saw my platform us right now, they would
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: throw up their gasoline, their four ounce gasoline coffee.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: Happily excuse Starbucks is up the street.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I say, I know, honey, I'm on my way.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, I haven't been Tomorrow Coffee in a long time,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: but I remember it being good.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You know when the New York comedians coming to town,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: they want Todd Berry. Fine, I'll go to the Morrow.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: The line is too long, give me a break.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: And then I just say, I'll have an Arnold Palmer. Please,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: I have your finest four ounce Arnold.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: You're getting an Arnold Palmer at Marrow?
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean it was at four pm. What
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: do they think I'm gonna get that? If they served
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: four pm coffee, I'm not gonna be to sleep that night.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: You know whatever.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: I'm like, get too crazy online shopping.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: Well, we answered Jelina's question perfectly.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: Julina, you just go grab your mother in law, buy
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: this shirt.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: Burst through her window, pop up in the back seat
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: of her.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: But don't you think like extended families, especially like if
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: you don't like your mother in law, like everything is
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: predicated on a lack of honesty.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: It's like just politeness totally. Yeah, because there's no real
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: communication between the two of you ever, and so something
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: has just like gone slightly wrong, right, And Nope, neither
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: of them will ever say it.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: I've never dated someone whose mother I didn't like.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: Oh that's great.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure there are some mean ones
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: out there, of course.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: But you probably picked decent people to date, and.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. No, more so recently.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, but they've all always had at least a decent
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: mom around.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: I just like them. Yeah.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, I wonder if at some point you kind
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: of side with the mom against the son that you're dating.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who can say?
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: Who can say? Well, Julina, don't write back in We
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: answered the question perfectly. I still have some brownie left.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited to take this home with me finest brownie.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, please please feel free with my sanctioned approval to
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: share with your husband for that. Oh oh no, actually
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: he already goes.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: He goes to Starbucks constant, but.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: He might not be familiar with their A plus prize.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: No, he recently had a breakfast sandwich there and had
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of complaints about it. Actually, what can I say? Well, Blair,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad you could be back. You keep bringing
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: me food.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's my main interest. So that's what I like
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: to share. I'm you. Look, I'm Italian, you're Italian. I'm
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: very Italian. And the way that I commune and share
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: love and break bread with people is through food. Really,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: that's how I connect. It's definitely not over coffee, honey,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: Italians love coffee only after dinner, after a nice languoris
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: past on red wine.
