- 0:16SPEAKER_00: We're BSing,
- 0:17SPEAKER_00: sure,
- 0:18but you've been doing market research on what kind of things
- 0:23people think we should
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: talk about.
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: So what should we talk about?
- 0:27SPEAKER_02: What do the people say?
- 0:29SPEAKER_02: You just put me on the spot.
- 0:33SPEAKER_02: No, the feedback was that we don't really talk about anything.
- 0:36SPEAKER_01: I know, it's great.
- 0:37SPEAKER_02: That we sound like we flow well together, but we probably need a focus.
- 0:44SPEAKER_02: Which is extraordinarily hard because we are both, like, massively ADD.
- 0:49SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 0:50SPEAKER_00: That's true.
- 0:51SPEAKER_00: It's great.
- 0:52ADD is kind of like a superpower in some ways,
- 0:54but it also holds you back.
- 0:56Superpower in that my brain doesn't think and doesn't operate
- 0:59in,
- 1:00like,
- 1:00linear fashion.
- 1:01It kind of hops from island to island and synthesizes weird
- 1:04things together.
- 1:05But,
- 1:05you know,
- 1:05also when I want to focus on something,
- 1:07I have trouble doing it.
- 1:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:10SPEAKER_02: I just have become incredibly unambitious as I get older,
- 1:16SPEAKER_02: and that's not super helpful in my line of work.
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: Welcome to my world.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: I've always been incredibly unambitious.
- 1:23SPEAKER_00: Great.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: Being generally content is ideal.
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: It's what you're supposed to be.
- 1:35SPEAKER_00: But at the same time,
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: if you're someone who at some level wants to have drive,
- 1:39SPEAKER_00: it can be a problem.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: I'm just a content person.
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: I'm happy.
- 1:43SPEAKER_00: I enjoy life.
- 1:44SPEAKER_00: I'm really jealous of this.
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: I need to know the secrets.
- 1:50My superpower has always been being generally happy doing
- 1:54whatever I happen to find myself.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: As long as there's money to pay the bills,
- 1:58SPEAKER_00: I'm happy to just do whatever it is that happened to me to do it.
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: Like talking to you.
- 2:09SPEAKER_02: I would like to be unburdened with my concerns.
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 2:16SPEAKER_00: Everyone should aspire to be more like me.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: I don't want to toot my own horn, but I'm the ideal Christian.
- 2:22SPEAKER_00: I'm just, you know, happy with my place.
- 2:28SPEAKER_02: This is me rolling my eyes.
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: So far they jumped out of my head.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: Really humble about it, too.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: The most godly man you'll meet, most likely.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 2:40SPEAKER_02: I feel like my husband might be up there.
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: Well, perhaps.
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: He has to deal with me, so.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: With his weighty tomes.
- 2:49SPEAKER_02: He has to deal with me, and that is a lot.
- 2:52SPEAKER_02: He honestly should probably be considered for sainthood.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: What do the people want us to talk about?
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: Courtney has been going out.
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: You've been doing market research, asking people about.
- 3:06SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, nobody said what they want us to talk about.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: They said we should be more focused.
- 3:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:12SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 3:16SPEAKER_02: I thought of something really fun and this may be totally boring.
- 3:20And if it is,
- 3:20we'll cut it and it'll never see the light of day,
- 3:22but I think it'll be fun.
- 3:24SPEAKER_02: My husband was just in Baltimore and horrible place, horrible city.
- 3:30SPEAKER_02: I'm not fighting any of that.
- 3:33just to say he saw some friends of ours that he hasn't seen for
- 3:38a long time and
- 3:39their kids came prepared with a list of like 20 questions and
- 3:44they were really odd
- 3:46like off the wall questions because they had never met him and
- 3:49this is like his
- 3:51really good friends that he grew up with as a little kid like
- 3:54are the parents so
- 3:55SPEAKER_02: these little kids came up with all these crazy questions
- 3:59And my daughter heard this story and thought it was like the
- 4:02greatest thing ever
- 4:03SPEAKER_02: and immediately wrote a list of like,
- 4:06SPEAKER_02: well,
- 4:06SPEAKER_02: I'm looking at this list.
- 4:07SPEAKER_02: It's not 20.
- 4:08SPEAKER_02: It looks like 150 questions.
- 4:10I'm not going to ask you all of them because some of them are
- 4:13very,
- 4:13very identifying.
- 4:15But especially because you're an anonymous account and everyone
- 4:19knows you online as
- 4:21SPEAKER_02: your French moniker,
- 4:22SPEAKER_02: I thought it would be kind of fun to actually get to know you.
- 4:25SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 4:27SPEAKER_00: Ask me some of your questions.
- 4:30SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 4:30These are insane and I feel like we should talk about a lot of
- 4:35them because my
- 4:36SPEAKER_02: daughter's just wild and...
- 4:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 4:40SPEAKER_02: You don't know what these questions are either.
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: I've never seen these questions.
- 4:45SPEAKER_00: I have no idea what they are.
- 4:47SPEAKER_02: There's nothing like all that interesting.
- 4:49SPEAKER_02: It's just funny and how random they are.
- 4:50SPEAKER_02: So we're going to do this.
- 4:52I'm just saying for the record,
- 4:53this is the first time I'm hearing any of these questions.
- 4:56SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 4:57SPEAKER_02: I'm going to have to change some of them.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: Too much obscenity.
- 5:02SPEAKER_00: Your daughter of a body mouth.
- 5:03SPEAKER_00: You gave your daughter a body mouth.
- 5:06SPEAKER_02: Sure.
- 5:06SPEAKER_02: I'm actually offended.
- 5:08SPEAKER_01: My daughter would never curse.
- 5:10SPEAKER_02: No, my kids actually – I do curse a lot.
- 5:13SPEAKER_02: And look, my kids are teenagers, so it happens in front of them.
- 5:17But they know that they are not allowed to say curse words
- 5:21until they are legal
- 5:23SPEAKER_02: adults and allowed – or that they are old enough to kind of own –
- 5:30the image that cursing puts on you because they know that if
- 5:34you're cursing,
- 5:35SPEAKER_02: it says things about you.
- 5:36And I want them to be old enough to understand what they are
- 5:42saying about themselves.
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: So not an obscenity filled list.
- 5:47SPEAKER_02: It is not.
- 5:48SPEAKER_02: Also, my daughter's like really good.
- 5:50SPEAKER_02: She's a good church girl.
- 5:53SPEAKER_02: What are your thoughts on goats?
- 5:57SPEAKER_00: On goats?
- 5:58SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 6:00SPEAKER_00: I'm not a fan.
- 6:01SPEAKER_02: I told you this is a random list.
- 6:04SPEAKER_00: Not a fan of goats.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: Goat products like goat cheese and whatnot.
- 6:09SPEAKER_00: Goat cheese has its place, but it tends to be inferior.
- 6:11SPEAKER_00: Like goat soap, I don't see the point.
- 6:13SPEAKER_00: Goats themselves, incredibly stupid animals, famously stupid.
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: Just obnoxious animals.
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: Not a big fan of goats.
- 6:22SPEAKER_00: I like sheep better.
- 6:23SPEAKER_00: Sheep are more interesting.
- 6:24See,
- 6:25this is exactly what I thought we were going to get,
- 6:27so it's going to work.
- 6:29SPEAKER_02: What is your favorite?
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: Wait, wait, wait.
- 6:31SPEAKER_00: Goats have, like, their eyes are weird.
- 6:34SPEAKER_00: Their pupils are all... They have, like, square pupils.
- 6:40SPEAKER_00: They have, like, square pupils.
- 6:43SPEAKER_00: You just pushed your cat out of the way.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: I did!
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: I swatted the cat.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: She wandered around yowling.
- 6:47SPEAKER_00: She does this.
- 6:48SPEAKER_02: Okay, that made it sound a lot more violent than it was.
- 6:50SPEAKER_02: It was just a little push.
- 6:52SPEAKER_02: She didn't swat.
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: I swatted that cat.
- 6:54SPEAKER_00: She was in here yowling.
- 6:57SPEAKER_02: I do want to change your mind on goats forever, really quickly.
- 7:01SPEAKER_02: And...
- 7:04SPEAKER_00: They will eat anything.
- 7:06SPEAKER_02: Oh, no, I'm very pro-goat, but not about what I'm going to show you.
- 7:11This is kind of like goat food,
- 7:13like a curried goat you're going to show me.
- 7:17SPEAKER_02: No, no, it's way more horrifying.
- 7:20SPEAKER_02: So my friend had goats forever.
- 7:22SPEAKER_02: I'm looking for a good picture.
- 7:25SPEAKER_02: And I would, she'd always be like, oh, come down.
- 7:28SPEAKER_02: We had babies.
- 7:29SPEAKER_02: And I'm, I'm all about seeing like farm animal babies.
- 7:32SPEAKER_02: Cutest thing ever.
- 7:33SPEAKER_02: Her goats live in my nightmares.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: It looks like a goat.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 7:40SPEAKER_02: It's earless.
- 7:42SPEAKER_02: They're earless goats.
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: That is pretty weird.
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: Your picture is pretty fuzzy, so I can't see them especially well.
- 7:47SPEAKER_02: Well, I'm holding my phone up.
- 7:50Well,
- 7:50you're very pixelated right now,
- 7:53but I can hear you fine,
- 7:54which is important.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: I walked into a store years ago.
- 8:02SPEAKER_00: And they had a sign on the thing.
- 8:04They had like one of those handmade little printed out signs
- 8:08for something going on locally.
- 8:10SPEAKER_00: And it was goat yoga.
- 8:12SPEAKER_00: And I took a picture.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: I thought this was a joke.
- 8:15SPEAKER_00: I thought this was a kind of like weird meta joke.
- 8:18SPEAKER_00: I took a picture and said to my wife, I was like, this is hilarious.
- 8:22SPEAKER_00: Someone has a good sense of humor.
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: She said, oh, no, that's a real thing.
- 8:25SPEAKER_00: That's a thing people do.
- 8:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 8:28SPEAKER_02: What?
- 8:29SPEAKER_00: I went and looked it up.
- 8:30SPEAKER_00: That's insane.
- 8:31SPEAKER_00: That's insane and stupid.
- 8:32SPEAKER_00: What is wrong with people?
- 8:33SPEAKER_02: I mean, look, do I look like someone who actually exercises regardless?
- 8:40SPEAKER_02: I'm not signing up for workout classes, let alone goat yoga.
- 8:43SPEAKER_02: I just texted you a picture of those earless goats.
- 8:47SPEAKER_00: I actually like yoga.
- 8:48SPEAKER_00: I used to do yoga.
- 8:51SPEAKER_00: The addition of goats,
- 8:52SPEAKER_00: I don't need goats walking on me,
- 8:54SPEAKER_00: trying to eat my hair,
- 8:55SPEAKER_00: because that's what they do.
- 8:55SPEAKER_00: They eat anything.
- 8:57SPEAKER_02: They eat everything.
- 8:58SPEAKER_02: That's why I want goats because I don't want to have to mow the yard.
- 9:05SPEAKER_00: We have a really bad problem where we live with poison ivy.
- 9:10SPEAKER_00: Goats, they'll eat that.
- 9:12SPEAKER_00: They will happily eat poison ivy and it has no effect on them.
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: Goats, I just don't like them.
- 9:18SPEAKER_00: They're a real mixed bag.
- 9:21SPEAKER_00: Not my cup of tea.
- 9:22SPEAKER_00: I like sheep better.
- 9:28SPEAKER_02: My daughter is so absurd.
- 9:30SPEAKER_02: She wrote these weird questions.
- 9:31SPEAKER_02: And I knew you would go off on them.
- 9:33SPEAKER_02: So it's going well.
- 9:36SPEAKER_00: I'm good at having opinions.
- 9:38SPEAKER_02: What is your favorite fast food chain and why?
- 9:40SPEAKER_00: It depends.
- 9:47SPEAKER_00: Where I used to live in North Jersey, there wasn't an Arby's nearby.
- 9:51SPEAKER_00: Like nowhere, anywhere, anywhere close to me.
- 9:54SPEAKER_00: I was really into Arby's then.
- 9:56Because if I was out on a trip,
- 9:58we saw an Arby's,
- 9:59like,
- 9:59I want to go to Arby's.
- 10:00SPEAKER_00: Because this was like... Fries.
- 10:02SPEAKER_00: I fondly recalled Arby's.
- 10:04SPEAKER_00: I rarely got to go to Arby's.
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: But...
- 10:09SPEAKER_00: And Arby's is still fine.
- 10:11SPEAKER_00: Arby's has the best gyro.
- 10:15SPEAKER_00: And I'm not going to call it a gyro because it's a gyro.
- 10:17SPEAKER_02: It is a gyro.
- 10:19SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: The Arby's one is a gyro.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: If I'm getting it from like an authentic place, I'm going to say gyro.
- 10:26SPEAKER_02: No, but why are you getting all phlegmy and weird with it?
- 10:31SPEAKER_00: Gyro.
- 10:32SPEAKER_02: No.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: Because I was taught how to say it by a Greek.
- 10:35SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 10:36SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 10:38surrounded by Greeks all the time,
- 10:40have gone to Greece and ordered this dish numerous times.
- 10:43SPEAKER_02: It's just a gyro.
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: It's a gyro.
- 10:47SPEAKER_02: Nobody says it all for me like that.
- 10:50SPEAKER_00: It's a gyro?
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: If you can't do accents,
- 10:53SPEAKER_00: which apparently you can't,
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: but for the rest of us- No,
- 10:56SPEAKER_02: I cannot do accents at all.
- 10:57SPEAKER_00: For the rest of us, it's yijo.
- 11:00SPEAKER_02: The only accent I can do is a very, very adorable Midwestern twang.
- 11:06SPEAKER_02: And outside of that, I suck at accents.
- 11:09SPEAKER_02: But- But also they don't sound like that.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: As far as like nationally available, like you can just get it someplace-
- 11:18SPEAKER_00: It's on point.
- 11:20SPEAKER_00: The Arby's gyro, good.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: They're Greek gyro.
- 11:23SPEAKER_00: You're saying it inside every time you say it.
- 11:31SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't say I have a favorite.
- 11:33SPEAKER_00: It depends on my mood, honestly.
- 11:36SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I want chicken.
- 11:38SPEAKER_00: I have a favorite sub-genre.
- 11:41SPEAKER_00: But if I want chicken.
- 11:43SPEAKER_02: Your favorite subgenre.
- 11:46SPEAKER_00: You got your chicken fast food.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: You got your hamburger fast food.
- 11:50SPEAKER_00: There's different genres of fast food.
- 11:54So if I'm in the mood for chicken and I'm going fast food,
- 11:58I'll probably go KFC.
- 12:01SPEAKER_00: KFC actually has really good fries.
- 12:03SPEAKER_00: People don't talk about their fries.
- 12:04SPEAKER_01: No Bojangles.
- 12:06SPEAKER_00: Bojangles is okay.
- 12:07SPEAKER_00: I'm actually not wild about Bojangles.
- 12:10SPEAKER_00: People are really into their sweet tea, I think.
- 12:12SPEAKER_00: I don't really like sweet tea that much.
- 12:13SPEAKER_02: I don't like sweet tea, and I love Bojangles.
- 12:16SPEAKER_02: I'm so excited.
- 12:17SPEAKER_02: They're building Bojangles in Phoenix,
- 12:20SPEAKER_02: and I'm like,
- 12:20SPEAKER_02: I don't have to go to the East Coast anymore for it.
- 12:23SPEAKER_00: I actually prefer KFC to Bojangles.
- 12:27SPEAKER_00: And Popeyes.
- 12:29SPEAKER_00: Popeyes is okay, but yeah, it's KFC.
- 12:33SPEAKER_02: When you find a good Popeye's, they're really good, though.
- 12:35SPEAKER_02: Or a really good, good, good Popeye's is like finding magic.
- 12:41SPEAKER_02: There are some that are really good.
- 12:43SPEAKER_02: If they're on point, I like them better, but they're not very consistent.
- 12:47SPEAKER_00: Burger, fast food, probably Wendy's, I'd have to say.
- 12:53SPEAKER_00: Between McDonald's, Burger King.
- 12:55SPEAKER_00: Wendy's was better before Dave died, before Dave Thomas died.
- 12:59SPEAKER_02: Back when they had the sunrooms?
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: Well, Dave Thomas, he was really into the chain.
- 13:06SPEAKER_00: He would go to each individual Wendy's.
- 13:10I think he specifically made it his whole thing to periodically
- 13:15show up at all
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: Wendy's that were in operation just to do quality control,
- 13:20SPEAKER_00: just to check,
- 13:20SPEAKER_00: talk to the staff,
- 13:21SPEAKER_00: see how things were going.
- 13:22SPEAKER_00: Their quality control has gone significantly downhill since he died.
- 13:26SPEAKER_00: Plus, they're doing breakfast now, and I always liked about him.
- 13:30SPEAKER_00: When he was alive,
- 13:30SPEAKER_00: I remember reading people talking about how,
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: like,
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: the board of Wendy's was kept trying to get him to do breakfast.
- 13:35SPEAKER_00: He was like, no, I'm not doing breakfast.
- 13:36SPEAKER_00: We don't do breakfast.
- 13:37SPEAKER_00: We're a lunch place.
- 13:39SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 13:41SPEAKER_02: Have you had my favorite restaurant of all time is Taco Bell?
- 13:46SPEAKER_02: Because I'm a horrible Californian.
- 13:49SPEAKER_02: And have you had their breakfast counter-up?
- 13:53SPEAKER_00: No, I've never been there for breakfast.
- 13:55Okay,
- 13:55you have to get the breakfast contrap with sausage,
- 13:58like the sausage patty.
- 14:00SPEAKER_02: So it's just tortilla, egg, cheese, sausage.
- 14:02SPEAKER_02: It is life-changingly good.
- 14:07SPEAKER_02: I am a fast food connoisseur.
- 14:09SPEAKER_02: I even have that in my Twitter bio.
- 14:11SPEAKER_02: Like, I am very, very passionate about fast food.
- 14:15SPEAKER_02: Everyone needs to have something in life, and fast food is it for me.
- 14:19SPEAKER_00: Like, Taco Bell's fine.
- 14:21SPEAKER_00: I like Taco Bell.
- 14:21SPEAKER_00: I'm not...
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: But my wife hates Taco Bells.
- 14:25SPEAKER_00: You won't eat there.
- 14:25SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure she... When I was young, I remember Taco Bell was great.
- 14:29SPEAKER_00: Me and me and my friends would truck downtown.
- 14:33SPEAKER_00: The town I grew up in had a movie theater.
- 14:35SPEAKER_00: It was like this little crappy movie theater.
- 14:37SPEAKER_00: It was a little crappy movie theater right downtown.
- 14:39SPEAKER_00: There was a Taco Bell up the street.
- 14:41So we'd truck down to the movie theater on a weekend,
- 14:46watch a movie,
- 14:46and go up to Taco Bell.
- 14:48SPEAKER_00: They sold, like, party packs.
- 14:51SPEAKER_00: So we, like, split a party pack between four of us.
- 14:54SPEAKER_00: That was pretty great.
- 14:55SPEAKER_00: I quite liked that.
- 14:56SPEAKER_00: But I don't really think about going to Taco Bell these days.
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: My kids are upset.
- 15:00My kids really – my wife doesn't like eating a lot of different
- 15:04fast foods.
- 15:06So my kids get very excited when my wife is out of town or when
- 15:09she's busy and I
- 15:11SPEAKER_00: offer to take them somewhere for lunch.
- 15:13They get very excited to go to the place my wife won't go,
- 15:14like Taco Bell.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 15:17SPEAKER_02: Well, go and get the breakfast crunch wrap.
- 15:19SPEAKER_02: It's really good.
- 15:20SPEAKER_00: No, no, no.
- 15:20SPEAKER_00: If I'm taking my kids for breakfast,
- 15:22we're going to somewhere like Waffle House or IHOP or something
- 15:24like that.
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: Perkins.
- 15:25SPEAKER_02: I'm telling you it's amazing.
- 15:27SPEAKER_00: I'm going to sit down place and get pancakes for breakfast.
- 15:29SPEAKER_00: If I'm going out for breakfast, I'm going to get pancakes.
- 15:32SPEAKER_02: There's a Taco Bell right across the street from my office.
- 15:36SPEAKER_02: Sometimes over lunch,
- 15:40SPEAKER_02: I'll be like,
- 15:41SPEAKER_02: ooh,
- 15:41I'm going to get an extra workout and I'll walk across the
- 15:44street to Taco Bell.
- 15:45SPEAKER_00: One of the things I miss most about living in New Jersey,
- 15:48SPEAKER_00: and there aren't many things I miss about living in New Jersey,
- 15:50SPEAKER_00: but New Jersey diner culture is fantastic.
- 15:55SPEAKER_00: Great place to go to breakfast all over the place.
- 15:57SPEAKER_00: They're open 24 hours.
- 15:58SPEAKER_00: I don't
- 16:02So Perkins,
- 16:04the only diner,
- 16:05again,
- 16:05in the town I grew up in,
- 16:06the only diner really was Perkins.
- 16:07And we'd always go to Perkins when I was old enough to,
- 16:11because it was just outside of town.
- 16:13SPEAKER_00: So once I could drive, we'd go out to Perkins.
- 16:17SPEAKER_00: And Perkins is great for diners.
- 16:20SPEAKER_02: I've been to a Perkins in 25 years.
- 16:23SPEAKER_00: Fantastic.
- 16:25SPEAKER_00: I don't know if it's still true.
- 16:27SPEAKER_00: They have a breakfast thing.
- 16:28SPEAKER_00: It's called the Tremendous 12,
- 16:30which I have always said is the best value proposition on a
- 16:35menu because it was a
- 16:37SPEAKER_00: massive amount of food for like 11 bucks or something like that.
- 16:40SPEAKER_00: It was great.
- 16:41SPEAKER_02: What are your thoughts on a full English breakfast?
- 16:43This isn't one of the questions,
- 16:45but you started talking about breakfast,
- 16:48so now I have to know.
- 16:49SPEAKER_02: How do you feel about a full English?
- 16:51SPEAKER_00: Black pudding is disgusting.
- 16:53SPEAKER_00: The tomato is unnecessary and baked beans are absurd for breakfast.
- 16:58SPEAKER_02: Bangers are good.
- 17:01SPEAKER_02: My husband is a part of a Facebook group that is rate my fry up.
- 17:07SPEAKER_02: Where they go through and rate each other's like full English breakfast.
- 17:11SPEAKER_02: And it is my husband's like greatest pleasure in life is full English.
- 17:15SPEAKER_00: No, but the black pudding.
- 17:17SPEAKER_02: I actually don't mind black pudding as much as white pudding.
- 17:23SPEAKER_02: I don't like white pudding.
- 17:24SPEAKER_00: I don't like either of them.
- 17:26SPEAKER_02: I can deal with the blood sausage, but suet sausage is just bleh.
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: Baked beans for breakfast is just insane.
- 17:36SPEAKER_00: It's a lunatics thing.
- 17:37SPEAKER_02: Beans on toast is delicious.
- 17:41SPEAKER_00: No.
- 17:41SPEAKER_02: Especially if you're really hungover, beans on toast slaps.
- 17:48SPEAKER_02: Which Brits always are, so...
- 17:51SPEAKER_00: Well,
- 17:52SPEAKER_00: they're surprisingly lightweight,
- 17:53even though they think they're really good at drinking a lot
- 17:57with their nasty warm
- 17:58SPEAKER_00: beer.
- 17:59SPEAKER_02: Well, also, it's lower alcohol content than ours.
- 18:02SPEAKER_02: So they can drink a lot more because they can't.
- 18:05SPEAKER_02: Although I'm Irish, though, they can't drink a lot more than me.
- 18:09SPEAKER_00: They just got to pee a lot.
- 18:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 18:11SPEAKER_02: I mean, if you break the seal.
- 18:13SPEAKER_02: Anyways.
- 18:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 18:16SPEAKER_02: All right, I'm going through.
- 18:17SPEAKER_02: Do you like pickles?
- 18:18SPEAKER_02: Why or why not?
- 18:20SPEAKER_00: Of course I like pickles.
- 18:21SPEAKER_02: We don't like pickles.
- 18:22SPEAKER_02: I mean, I don't like pickles, so.
- 18:25SPEAKER_00: Kosher dills.
- 18:26SPEAKER_00: Bread and butter pickles are an abomination and should be,
- 18:29SPEAKER_00: whoever invented them should have been launched into the sun.
- 18:34SPEAKER_02: My daughter would really appreciate that answer.
- 18:36SPEAKER_02: She hates them.
- 18:38SPEAKER_00: Kosher dills, though, fantastic.
- 18:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 18:41SPEAKER_02: No, like, she loves McClure's.
- 18:44SPEAKER_02: If she could inherit,
- 18:45SPEAKER_02: like,
- 18:46SPEAKER_02: millions of dollars,
- 18:47SPEAKER_02: if she won the lottery,
- 18:48SPEAKER_02: she would buy out McClure's and just eat their pickles nonstop all day,
- 18:53SPEAKER_02: every day.
- 18:54SPEAKER_00: They're good pickles.
- 18:56SPEAKER_02: Um, I just lost you on video.
- 18:58SPEAKER_02: Hopefully you're still here.
- 19:00SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to ask you that one because it's super identifying.
- 19:05SPEAKER_02: Yes, I can.
- 19:06SPEAKER_02: My daughter has on here.
- 19:08SPEAKER_02: What are the coordinates of your dentist's office?
- 19:10SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 19:12Well,
- 19:12obviously also don't answer that,
- 19:14but this is just how insane my daughter is.
- 19:18SPEAKER_02: Um, what are your thoughts on semi trucks?
- 19:22SPEAKER_00: They're fine.
- 19:23SPEAKER_00: They, you know, they get the job done.
- 19:26SPEAKER_02: They haul things from A to B. How about social media?
- 19:32SPEAKER_00: What about it?
- 19:32SPEAKER_00: My thoughts on it?
- 19:34SPEAKER_02: Literally the question is what are your thoughts on social media?
- 19:37SPEAKER_00: It has its uses, but I think it is.
- 19:40I've always said social media is like alcohol in that I think
- 19:46some people can
- 19:47SPEAKER_00: handle it and some people can't.
- 19:49SPEAKER_00: And if you can't, you really can't.
- 19:51SPEAKER_00: There are people who get onto social media and get addicted to it,
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: and it turns them into the worst version of themselves.
- 20:00SPEAKER_00: They become very angry people.
- 20:02SPEAKER_00: And I think those people should be kept far away from social media.
- 20:07And then there are some people – I can use social – it doesn't
- 20:11affect who I am.
- 20:12SPEAKER_00: I am basically the same person online as I am in person.
- 20:18SPEAKER_00: I'm possibly slightly more – a little bit more gregarious online,
- 20:21SPEAKER_00: but I just have more opportunity to be gregarious.
- 20:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:26SPEAKER_00: But I'm only talking about Twitter.
- 20:30SPEAKER_00: Facebook's trash.
- 20:31SPEAKER_00: I don't understand Facebook.
- 20:33SPEAKER_00: It's weird again.
- 20:34SPEAKER_00: How about now?
- 20:37SPEAKER_02: That's good.
- 20:38SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 20:39SPEAKER_00: I don't understand Facebook at all.
- 20:43SPEAKER_00: I used to.
- 20:45SPEAKER_00: I got Facebook when it first came out.
- 20:47SPEAKER_00: I got it when it rolled out at my college,
- 20:50SPEAKER_00: and you had to have a college email address to get it.
- 20:52SPEAKER_00: I understood it then,
- 20:54SPEAKER_00: but I was friends with my friends,
- 20:55SPEAKER_00: and we used it to coordinate things we were doing.
- 21:02SPEAKER_02: Well, that's what it still is.
- 21:03SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's that.
- 21:06No,
- 21:06now it's a thing for people to post like weird boomer memes
- 21:10about like,
- 21:10you know.
- 21:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah, a lot of people use it like that, but I don't do it.
- 21:14SPEAKER_02: Like I still use it a ton,
- 21:16SPEAKER_02: but it's just to put up all the pictures I take on trips,
- 21:19SPEAKER_02: which I know you have your own rant about,
- 21:22SPEAKER_02: about being forced to see people's vacation slideshows.
- 21:25SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 21:26SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 21:27SPEAKER_00: There's literally that's more Instagram.
- 21:29SPEAKER_00: I think I think Instagram was that.
- 21:31SPEAKER_02: That's how I use Facebook.
- 21:32Like I just put pictures of my kids for my family because I
- 21:35have family all over the world.
- 21:37I don't use Facebook really anymore because I realized that I
- 21:43was mostly I wasn't
- 21:46posting on it and I was mostly using it to sit and like grow to
- 21:50increasingly hate
- 21:51the people who had in the past been my closest friends in the
- 21:53world based on their
- 21:55SPEAKER_00: endless political posting like that.
- 21:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 21:59SPEAKER_00: So I pretty much stopped using Facebook entirely.
- 22:01SPEAKER_02: Which is so funny because you post political stuff on Twitter now.
- 22:08SPEAKER_02: I do.
- 22:08SPEAKER_02: I do.
- 22:08SPEAKER_02: But not like that.
- 22:10SPEAKER_02: No, it's different.
- 22:11SPEAKER_02: It's totally different because it's not personal.
- 22:13SPEAKER_02: And like you're just expressing ideas.
- 22:15It's not the way that people do it on Facebook is very like if
- 22:19you don't agree with
- 22:21SPEAKER_02: me,
- 22:21SPEAKER_02: I hate you die.
- 22:22SPEAKER_02: And you're like, I used to sit next to you at chemistry.
- 22:26SPEAKER_02: Why are you being so mean?
- 22:28Also,
- 22:30I make a point to try to not be all political all the time on
- 22:34Twitter.
- 22:35SPEAKER_00: I'm just giving you a hard time.
- 22:37SPEAKER_00: No, no, no.
- 22:38SPEAKER_00: I'm responding.
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: And Facebook, at least from what I see, it's so much just.
- 22:47politics and these like really stupid hot takes that are always
- 22:50poorly thought out
- 22:52uh it's not a good venue to have conversations at all no it's
- 22:57it's perfect for what
- 22:58i use it for which is just like hey my kids are this age now
- 23:02and here's what they
- 23:03SPEAKER_02: look like and they were in a play and here's pictures from it
- 23:06SPEAKER_02: And I like to log in.
- 23:08Facebook annoys me now because it's all ads and it's all stupid
- 23:12reels that I could
- 23:13SPEAKER_02: care less about.
- 23:14SPEAKER_02: And it's like, I just want to see so-and-so's baby they just had.
- 23:19SPEAKER_02: And I want to see if this person's mom is still alive.
- 23:22SPEAKER_02: And that's all I want.
- 23:24When I log in now to Facebook,
- 23:27I am shocked by how many ads are on the thing.
- 23:29SPEAKER_00: Just useless ads.
- 23:31SPEAKER_00: It's just like...
- 23:35For every actual post I see from someone who I'm Facebook
- 23:38friends with,
- 23:39there is an ad.
- 23:41SPEAKER_00: It's pretty much directly one-to-one.
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: I don't know if this is because I don't use it much,
- 23:48SPEAKER_00: so the Facebook algorithm doesn't know what I'm looking for to feed me,
- 23:52SPEAKER_00: so it just feeds me ads.
- 23:54But it doesn't make me want to use it more,
- 23:56so it's poorly optimized,
- 23:57poorly designed.
- 23:59SPEAKER_02: And it's actually awful for people like me.
- 24:01I built a huge audience there and no one ever sees anything
- 24:05that I post there anymore.
- 24:07SPEAKER_02: So I don't even want to use it for work.
- 24:10SPEAKER_02: I have like 140,000 followers or something there.
- 24:14SPEAKER_02: And I think maybe four will ever see anything I post.
- 24:17SPEAKER_02: It's ridiculous.
- 24:18SPEAKER_02: Like you sign up to see something.
- 24:21That's an indication you want to see something that should be
- 24:24delivered to you.
- 24:26SPEAKER_02: I don't understand that.
- 24:28SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 24:29SPEAKER_02: Monetization did a lot of that.
- 24:31Facebook is actually trying to get people to be on the platform
- 24:35a lot more and
- 24:37SPEAKER_02: started doing revenue payouts a lot like Twitter did.
- 24:41So I'm going to have to be using Instagram and Facebook more
- 24:43because now all of my
- 24:45SPEAKER_02: content is monetized.
- 24:47SPEAKER_02: Not my personal one, but...
- 24:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it sucks.
- 24:52SPEAKER_02: Actually,
- 24:52SPEAKER_02: I think I might be getting paid for my personal stuff,
- 24:55SPEAKER_02: too,
- 24:55SPEAKER_02: which is extra weird,
- 24:56SPEAKER_02: because I have,
- 24:56SPEAKER_02: like,
- 24:57SPEAKER_02: my maiden name still on all that,
- 24:59SPEAKER_02: and I don't know.
- 25:00I think it's interesting how that Facebook seems to be trying
- 25:04to copy Twitter's
- 25:06SPEAKER_00: model and some things,
- 25:07SPEAKER_00: like,
- 25:07SPEAKER_00: or that Meta is for as much flack as the...
- 25:15musk got for the monetization thing when it's when he first
- 25:18rolled it out that it
- 25:19is uh now facebook is trying to do that somewhat same thing
- 25:25yeah yeah they're just
- 25:28trying to get people back on the app because no one wants to
- 25:30use it anymore because
- 25:33they've just flooded it with spam which is happening on twitter
- 25:36now too so i don't
- 25:38SPEAKER_00: know i pay so i don't see ads
- 25:39SPEAKER_02: Yeah,
- 25:40SPEAKER_02: I pay,
- 25:41SPEAKER_02: but not the big pay,
- 25:43SPEAKER_02: because I'm not monetized,
- 25:44SPEAKER_02: and I'm like,
- 25:45SPEAKER_02: I'm not spending 50 bucks a month to Nazi ass.
- 25:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, no, it is not.
- 25:49SPEAKER_00: It's absurd.
- 25:52SPEAKER_00: I make more in my payments.
- 25:54SPEAKER_02: You make a comfortable amount, it's fine.
- 25:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
- 25:58SPEAKER_00: so for me,
- 25:59SPEAKER_00: as long as I am making more than the cost of it,
- 26:02SPEAKER_00: I always say I'm playing without his money,
- 26:03SPEAKER_00: but yeah,
- 26:05SPEAKER_00: no,
- 26:06SPEAKER_00: I'm sure the ads are awful,
- 26:08SPEAKER_00: especially because with...
- 26:11SPEAKER_00: With Twitter, anybody can promote anything, any ad.
- 26:13SPEAKER_02: I'll send you this one, this one insane lady.
- 26:17SPEAKER_02: I've curated it to the point that now I only get her ads,
- 26:21SPEAKER_02: which,
- 26:21SPEAKER_02: by the way,
- 26:22I know it bothers you when people are arguing over stuff with
- 26:26their followers.
- 26:27SPEAKER_02: I am referencing something specific here.
- 26:30But if people start arguing in your replies about something,
- 26:36you end up getting ads for that.
- 26:38SPEAKER_02: It takes over your feed.
- 26:41SPEAKER_00: It's just Pace, you don't see ads.
- 26:42SPEAKER_00: I don't see the problem.
- 26:44SPEAKER_02: Okay, but not everyone does that.
- 26:49SPEAKER_00: You're such a pill.
- 26:53SPEAKER_00: I feel like originally the lower level.
- 26:55SPEAKER_00: No, I was right.
- 26:56SPEAKER_00: It was the $16 level that didn't have.
- 27:00SPEAKER_00: And then they upped it to $50.
- 27:03SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, I'm too poor for this.
- 27:05SPEAKER_00: That's fair.
- 27:06SPEAKER_02: I don't have this kind of money.
- 27:07SPEAKER_02: I don't have the big Twitter bucks.
- 27:10SPEAKER_00: No, no.
- 27:13SPEAKER_00: I don't like Instagram.
- 27:14SPEAKER_00: I'm just not that into the picture thing.
- 27:19SPEAKER_00: We've had this discussion before, right?
- 27:21SPEAKER_00: I like the way Twitter operates because Twitter,
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: it's much more,
- 27:24it's a conversational social media and it rewards good writing
- 27:31as opposed to just
- 27:33SPEAKER_00: being able to stage a photo well.
- 27:36the shots fired man like that's my entire purpose in life
- 27:42that's all i'm good at
- 27:43hey man you asked me a question i answered the question what
- 27:46can i say no just
- 27:48always comes back to me being the worst you're not you're
- 27:52wonderful well all right
- 27:54um here's one that i'm pretty sure i can predict do you like
- 28:00busy environments or
- 28:01SPEAKER_02: calm environments
- 28:04depends on my mood calm calm more um but yeah calm now when i
- 28:12was younger i liked i
- 28:13SPEAKER_00: i liked busy environments but now i'm much more much more sedate so calm
- 28:19SPEAKER_02: environments uh do you like to travel yeah of course that was great
- 28:27SPEAKER_02: Where is somewhere you've always wanted to go?
- 28:30SPEAKER_02: I know the answer to that one.
- 28:32SPEAKER_00: Montenegro.
- 28:34You overtook my entire Instagram feed because I like found a
- 28:38few pictures that I
- 28:39SPEAKER_02: sent to you and now my entire Instagram feed is all Montenegro.
- 28:44SPEAKER_00: God's trying to tell you to go to Montenegro.
- 28:46SPEAKER_00: I love Montenegro.
- 28:48SPEAKER_00: I've never been.
- 28:49SPEAKER_02: It's beautiful.
- 28:50SPEAKER_02: It's lovely.
- 28:51You do have to be really careful to make sure you don't order
- 28:54horse steak.
- 28:55If you're ordering meat there,
- 28:57there's a high percentage it's horse,
- 29:00but horse is kind of tasty.
- 29:01SPEAKER_02: It's fine.
- 29:02SPEAKER_02: Try a horse.
- 29:03SPEAKER_02: It's actually super tender.
- 29:05SPEAKER_02: It's oddly really okay.
- 29:07I feel bad saying that because I like horses,
- 29:10but like they're not disgusting.
- 29:15So there is a series of detective novels set in kind of
- 29:19nebulously between the
- 29:211940s and 1960s in New York City called – they're based on – by
- 29:27a man named Rex
- 29:28SPEAKER_00: Stout called Nero Wolf.
- 29:30SPEAKER_00: It's the Nero Wolf books.
- 29:31SPEAKER_00: They used to be quite well-known.
- 29:32SPEAKER_00: They're less well-known now.
- 29:35And the main character,
- 29:37the somewhat main character,
- 29:38one of the main characters –
- 29:42Nero Wolf is a morbidly obese detective who has a leg man named
- 29:48Archie Goodman who
- 29:50goes around and actually does all the investigating and brings
- 29:53the information back
- 29:54SPEAKER_00: to Nero Wolf,
- 29:56SPEAKER_00: who then solves the case.
- 29:58SPEAKER_00: But the Nero Wolf...
- 30:01SPEAKER_00: I don't know why this is,
- 30:02SPEAKER_00: but Nero Wolf is from Montenegro,
- 30:06SPEAKER_00: and there's actually...
- 30:08comes up there is a one of the books he has to go back to
- 30:12Montenegro so I think it
- 30:14was set during World War II so he like loses all the weight
- 30:17that he's put on and
- 30:18then he's through the book called The Black Mountain because
- 30:20Montenegro means Black
- 30:22SPEAKER_00: Mountain um
- 30:24And he goes back to Montenegro to help out,
- 30:26and it's like the war effort or something.
- 30:29So I read the Nero Wolf books when I was fairly young,
- 30:32and I was just fascinated by it.
- 30:34SPEAKER_00: I was like, I'd never heard of this country called Montenegro.
- 30:37SPEAKER_00: So I went and looked up Montenegro, and it sounded fascinating.
- 30:39It got the nice – I don't think it's technically part of the
- 30:43Dalmatian coast,
- 30:44SPEAKER_00: but it's – No,
- 30:44SPEAKER_00: it is.
- 30:45SPEAKER_00: It is.
- 30:48But the nice Dalmatian coast with,
- 30:50like,
- 30:50you know,
- 30:51the beautiful Adriatic views.
- 30:53SPEAKER_00: And then,
- 30:54SPEAKER_00: like,
- 30:54SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 30:54SPEAKER_00: it's just,
- 30:55SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 30:55hop inland a bit and you're on top of the mountain and it's
- 30:57cold and snowy and
- 30:58SPEAKER_00: whatnot.
- 30:59SPEAKER_00: It's this fascinating, tiny little country no one's ever heard of.
- 31:03SPEAKER_00: So I developed a fascination with it.
- 31:07I have to give you credit for holding it together during that
- 31:10because I just took a
- 31:12sip of coffee that went down the wrong way and I was choking
- 31:14and I turned bright
- 31:16SPEAKER_02: red and I was like flapping my arms around and dying.
- 31:19SPEAKER_02: And you just kept on monologuing like nothing.
- 31:22As long as long as it didn't look like like I had to call like
- 31:25911 and tell them to go get you.
- 31:29SPEAKER_02: I, that, that was close.
- 31:31And then the problem is like when I,
- 31:33okay,
- 31:35we're going to be adults about what I'm about to say.
- 31:37SPEAKER_02: Cause it's going to sound bad, but I have a really crappy gag reflex.
- 31:41SPEAKER_02: So when I start like choking on a hot drink or something,
- 31:45SPEAKER_02: it makes me like kind of start to barf.
- 31:48SPEAKER_02: And I was trying to not throw up and cry.
- 31:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 31:55SPEAKER_02: I am still a little bit bright red.
- 31:57SPEAKER_02: I almost died just now drinking coffee.
- 31:59SPEAKER_00: You're fine.
- 32:01SPEAKER_00: So, yes, Montenegro, you already knew the answer to that question.
- 32:04SPEAKER_00: Yes, I did.
- 32:05SPEAKER_00: It's 100% Montenegro.
- 32:07When I bring up Montenegro,
- 32:09for people who are not aware,
- 32:11it was part of the former Yugoslavia.
- 32:15It is...
- 32:17The best,
- 32:18the best,
- 32:18the best,
- 32:19the best thing to do in Montenegro.
- 32:20SPEAKER_02: And this is very weird.
- 32:22SPEAKER_02: And I say this because you're into weird
- 32:25SPEAKER_02: niche things like my husband and I,
- 32:28SPEAKER_02: we got,
- 32:29SPEAKER_02: we got in a boat and we toured the submarine tunnels.
- 32:34SPEAKER_00: Oh yes.
- 32:34SPEAKER_00: You said that.
- 32:34SPEAKER_00: I remember that.
- 32:35SPEAKER_00: It sounds very cool.
- 32:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:38SPEAKER_02: So if you flew over the submarine tunnels in the Bay of Couture,
- 32:43SPEAKER_02: they have fences and things up over it,
- 32:46SPEAKER_02: covering it so you can't see it from the sky.
- 32:48And they would park submarines underneath the mountains because
- 32:51Montenegro is
- 32:52SPEAKER_02: literally mountains and then the water right there.
- 32:57And they just blasted out basically like a submarine garage
- 33:01that you can't detect
- 33:02SPEAKER_02: from the sky and...
- 33:04SPEAKER_02: I love those.
- 33:05SPEAKER_00: Honestly,
- 33:05SPEAKER_00: that whole coastline,
- 33:06SPEAKER_00: like Montenegro up into Croatia,
- 33:11SPEAKER_00: I think it would be really cool to go to.
- 33:14SPEAKER_00: I'm not as interested.
- 33:16SPEAKER_00: Serbia seems like it could be problematic culturally, just in general.
- 33:23SPEAKER_02: So I have a lot of friends that are Serbian and go a lot.
- 33:26SPEAKER_02: And then my family was just recently in Serbia.
- 33:31SPEAKER_02: And they...
- 33:33SPEAKER_02: Granted, they're like kind of Russia sphere adjacent and expats.
- 33:39SPEAKER_02: So it was a little Russian for them.
- 33:42SPEAKER_02: But, but I don't know if
- 33:46an American would think that,
- 33:48or if that was someone who's very sensitive to Russian sphere.
- 33:53Do they still not let you back into Serbia if you have a
- 33:56Kosovar stamp in your passport?
- 33:59SPEAKER_02: No, I don't think that exists anymore.
- 34:02SPEAKER_00: That used to be a thing,
- 34:02because Serbia was still insisting that Kosovar was supposed to
- 34:06be part of them.
- 34:07SPEAKER_02: Right now, the big one for me is I can't ever go to Lebanon anymore.
- 34:13SPEAKER_00: Oh, no, you'll miss out on those glories of Beirut.
- 34:15I actually – we were supposed to go to Lebanon with some
- 34:21friends when we were in –
- 34:25SPEAKER_02: when we went to Armenia.
- 34:26We were supposed to go to Lebanon,
- 34:28and we didn't do it for whatever reason.
- 34:30I actually am really – that's the one trip that I'm like,
- 34:33I wish I did it.
- 34:35SPEAKER_00: Why can't you go to Lebanon?
- 34:36SPEAKER_02: Because I've been to Israel.
- 34:39SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 34:39SPEAKER_00: They only have the Israeli passport or the Israeli stamp.
- 34:43SPEAKER_02: Yes,
- 34:43SPEAKER_02: and Israel – like,
- 34:44I could technically go and try my luck because Israel doesn't
- 34:48actually stamp your
- 34:49SPEAKER_02: passport anymore.
- 34:50SPEAKER_02: They print out,
- 34:51SPEAKER_02: like,
- 34:51SPEAKER_02: a little – it's like when you go to Russia,
- 34:53SPEAKER_02: they print out a little slip,
- 34:55SPEAKER_02: and you have to have that in your passport.
- 34:57SPEAKER_02: And Israel does that for you so that you can travel.
- 35:00SPEAKER_02: There used to be other places that wouldn't – like,
- 35:03SPEAKER_02: I think Saudi Arabia and Oman wouldn't allow you in.
- 35:07SPEAKER_02: And now those are gone, but Lebanon still –
- 35:11SPEAKER_00: How would they know if you'd been there?
- 35:14SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, for me, it's fairly easy because I have Instagram videos.
- 35:19SPEAKER_00: Oh, well, fair.
- 35:20SPEAKER_02: Where I tagged the Israeli tourism ministry.
- 35:23SPEAKER_02: So, like, I've, you know, I can't.
- 35:27SPEAKER_02: I think that would be a little hard.
- 35:28didn't know lebanon i don't think about lebanon that much so
- 35:32when you say you say
- 35:34lebanon my first thought is beirut my first my my major
- 35:38understanding of beirut is
- 35:39them being like you know basically a completely bombed out
- 35:42hellhole in the mid 90s
- 35:43so no it's still i think it's still fairly nice i mean i talked
- 35:48to a friend whose
- 35:50family is still there and he sent me a bunch of pictures from
- 35:53like a few weeks ago
- 35:54SPEAKER_02: it's
- 35:55SPEAKER_02: I'm going to say it.
- 35:57Our perception of the entire region is very different than what
- 36:04it ends up like.
- 36:04SPEAKER_00: I remember watching the news in the mid and late 90s.
- 36:09SPEAKER_00: And very nice isn't what I would describe the pictures of Beirut.
- 36:13SPEAKER_02: Beirut was the Paris of the Middle East.
- 36:16SPEAKER_02: It actually is a lovely, beautiful city.
- 36:19SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, they have...
- 36:24SPEAKER_02: A lot of problems that another country is taking care of for us.
- 36:28SPEAKER_02: So, hey.
- 36:29SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 36:30SPEAKER_02: Well, let Israel do the dirty work there.
- 36:33SPEAKER_02: Go for it.
- 36:34SPEAKER_02: No, but I can't go there.
- 36:35SPEAKER_02: I technically could.
- 36:38SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't.
- 36:39SPEAKER_02: I technically could, and I would, and we have friends.
- 36:42SPEAKER_02: Luke's organization works there.
- 36:44SPEAKER_02: I could go with some of them.
- 36:45I would feel safe going because I know people that I would feel
- 36:51safe with.
- 36:52I wouldn't just look at a map and be like,
- 36:54hey,
- 36:55let's go to Beirut tomorrow.
- 36:57SPEAKER_00: I'd be vaguely concerned I'd get kidnapped.
- 37:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 37:00SPEAKER_00: That's a thing that happens.
- 37:01SPEAKER_00: No, like, I definitely would.
- 37:06SPEAKER_00: It seems silly, but that actually happens.
- 37:07SPEAKER_00: It's just a bargaining chip against the West.
- 37:10SPEAKER_00: Like, you know.
- 37:10SPEAKER_02: Being an almost six foot tall blonde woman who is not quiet,
- 37:14like that is something that is always in the back of my mind
- 37:17anytime I travel,
- 37:18SPEAKER_02: especially because I,
- 37:20SPEAKER_02: well,
- 37:20SPEAKER_02: I shouldn't even say that in the same conversation,
- 37:23SPEAKER_02: but like I travel alone a lot.
- 37:24So that is something that you have to be really,
- 37:28really aware of and take precautions for.
- 37:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 37:33Yeah.
- 37:34All right.
- 37:36SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 37:36SPEAKER_00: Let's go on to the next.
- 37:37SPEAKER_00: So Montenegro,
- 37:39SPEAKER_00: but I actually,
- 37:40SPEAKER_00: before we move on,
- 37:41I want to say I've actually been to Montenegro because one time
- 37:44I went to,
- 37:45SPEAKER_00: I was in DC and I went to the Montenegro embassy and I stood inside,
- 37:50SPEAKER_00: I stood inside the doorway of the Montenegro embassy.
- 37:53SPEAKER_00: So I've technically been to Montenegro.
- 37:56SPEAKER_00: I've been on Montenegro and soil.
- 37:58SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 38:01SPEAKER_02: I've been to Montenegro because I've been to Montenegro.
- 38:07SPEAKER_00: That is technically Montenegro and soil.
- 38:09SPEAKER_02: I was there for work too.
- 38:10SPEAKER_02: It was a work trip.
- 38:11SPEAKER_02: I got to go twice.
- 38:14SPEAKER_02: I actually am dying to go there and not be on a cruise ship.
- 38:18SPEAKER_02: So there you go.
- 38:21SPEAKER_00: One of these days we'll do it.
- 38:22SPEAKER_00: We'll do this podcast live for Montenegro.
- 38:25I already said that we can make that happen,
- 38:27but we have to have a framework,
- 38:28sir.
- 38:29SPEAKER_02: I can't be the one doing everything.
- 38:32SPEAKER_02: Oh, I'm sure this is a great pause.
- 38:38SPEAKER_02: I just lost my note.
- 38:40SPEAKER_00: So not helpful.
- 38:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 38:43SPEAKER_02: I'm going to come up with a random one.
- 38:45SPEAKER_02: What are your thoughts on geese?
- 38:47SPEAKER_00: Jerks unpleasant.
- 38:51SPEAKER_00: They're unpleasant creatures.
- 38:53SPEAKER_00: Canadian geese especially.
- 38:54SPEAKER_02: Oh, Canadian geese are like the world's worst.
- 38:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're awful.
- 38:58SPEAKER_00: They're horrible.
- 38:59SPEAKER_00: Geese, they honk at you.
- 39:00SPEAKER_00: If you get too close to them, they try to swarm you.
- 39:03SPEAKER_00: They poop everywhere, and their poop is nasty.
- 39:06SPEAKER_00: Not a geese fan.
- 39:07SPEAKER_02: They are delicious, though.
- 39:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah, of course.
- 39:11SPEAKER_00: Most animals are.
- 39:13SPEAKER_00: If prepared properly.
- 39:15SPEAKER_00: Most animals are.
- 39:17SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 39:18SPEAKER_02: Camel is not.
- 39:20SPEAKER_00: Well, I wouldn't know.
- 39:22SPEAKER_02: Bear.
- 39:22SPEAKER_02: Bear is disgusting.
- 39:24SPEAKER_02: Bear should not be consumed.
- 39:25SPEAKER_02: It's so gross.
- 39:26SPEAKER_02: It's so oily and just like.
- 39:30uh i don't know when i played the oregon it's like super super
- 39:34gamey also bear meat
- 39:36like it has to be very well done because they are disgusting
- 39:39animals that eat
- 39:41actually well yeah yeah well and they're uh carnivores
- 39:44carnivores you have to be
- 39:45careful with in general like this for those right carnivores
- 39:48are trickier to eat uh
- 39:52SPEAKER_00: Just because they tend to be like that.
- 39:58SPEAKER_00: The majority of animals, I'd say, are good.
- 40:01SPEAKER_00: Especially birds.
- 40:02SPEAKER_00: Birds are all birds.
- 40:04SPEAKER_00: They cook them a little bit differently, maybe.
- 40:05SPEAKER_00: But they're birds.
- 40:06SPEAKER_00: They taste good.
- 40:07I feel like the end of this,
- 40:08you're going to like so much more than the beginning.
- 40:10SPEAKER_02: Because you sound so much better now.
- 40:16SPEAKER_02: I know.
- 40:16SPEAKER_02: I can't talk.
- 40:18SPEAKER_02: I choke on my words.
- 40:19SPEAKER_02: Like...
- 40:20SPEAKER_00: That's all right.
- 40:20SPEAKER_02: My brain goes so much faster than my mouth, which is wild.
- 40:24SPEAKER_00: Me too.
- 40:24SPEAKER_00: I do that too.
- 40:25SPEAKER_02: I talk really fast.
- 40:27SPEAKER_00: It's called verbal clustering.
- 40:29SPEAKER_02: It's called verbal diarrhea on my end.
- 40:32SPEAKER_02: It's just kind of all over the place.
- 40:34SPEAKER_02: My phone is ringing nonstop.
- 40:37SPEAKER_02: You're going to hate the sound.
- 40:38SPEAKER_02: I want this to be good because we're doing this.
- 40:41SPEAKER_00: Is my sound still bad?
- 40:43SPEAKER_02: No, it's good right now.
- 40:44I'm just like,
- 40:45I'm listening to it right now thinking you're going to hate the
- 40:47beginning.
- 40:48SPEAKER_00: We'll see.
- 40:49SPEAKER_00: We can all just re-record the beginning.
- 40:51SPEAKER_02: I think we're going to have to.
- 40:52SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 40:53SPEAKER_02: Let me think of a fun other question.
- 40:56SPEAKER_02: These are so random that I'm like, I don't know.
- 40:58SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 41:01SPEAKER_02: I'm falling out of love with this idea.
- 41:04SPEAKER_02: Oh, my God, Bridget.
- 41:07SPEAKER_02: What are happening?
- 41:09SPEAKER_00: And here we are hip deep in the idea.
- 41:10SPEAKER_02: I know.
- 41:11SPEAKER_02: I know.
- 41:12SPEAKER_02: Where did you buy your mailbox?
- 41:15SPEAKER_00: We have a slot.
- 41:17SPEAKER_00: Oh, well, that's less fun.
- 41:19SPEAKER_00: Came with a house.
- 41:20SPEAKER_00: It's in the door.
- 41:20SPEAKER_00: We got this big, big heavy door with a big old mail slot.
- 41:24SPEAKER_00: Our dog, I mentioned before, our dog died not too long ago.
- 41:29SPEAKER_00: But we couldn't train her out of it.
- 41:32SPEAKER_00: The mailman would come to the house, push the mail.
- 41:35SPEAKER_00: She'd freak out, like go try to bite his hand off.
- 41:39SPEAKER_00: And so the inside of the door is all scratched up from her door.
- 41:45SPEAKER_00: jumping in the mail slot every time the mail came.
- 41:49SPEAKER_00: It was not a pleasant habit on her part.
- 41:52SPEAKER_00: We simply just couldn't break her of it.
- 41:55SPEAKER_00: Our last house, I think I got it at Home Depot.
- 41:58SPEAKER_00: We just had one of those
- 42:04What are those ones you slot next to the door like it wasn't on
- 42:07the street?
- 42:07SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure I've ever had an on-the-street mailbox.
- 42:11SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry, I'm dying laughing.
- 42:13SPEAKER_02: You're just, like, fully freewheeling on the most absurd question.
- 42:19SPEAKER_00: You asked me a question.
- 42:21SPEAKER_02: No, I know, I love it.
- 42:22SPEAKER_02: That's why I'm doing this.
- 42:23SPEAKER_02: I knew you would just freewheel at this, but I'm just dying laughing.
- 42:29SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry.
- 42:30That was such a long story for you of a slot,
- 42:33which is exactly why I asked it.
- 42:35SPEAKER_02: I'm not.
- 42:36SPEAKER_00: Mail slots are the best.
- 42:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 42:38SPEAKER_00: We got a big knocker on the door too.
- 42:41SPEAKER_00: Actually, I quite like our front door.
- 42:43SPEAKER_00: No, no, there's no windows in it.
- 42:45SPEAKER_00: Cause we're, we're in a, we're in a safe area.
- 42:47SPEAKER_00: So we don't need, we don't need to have like a people.
- 42:50SPEAKER_00: You can look out the window and kind of see,
- 42:52SPEAKER_00: see the front door if you need to,
- 42:53SPEAKER_02: but both of my front doors are glass.
- 42:55SPEAKER_00: So we don't have that.
- 42:57SPEAKER_00: We, we, we, we have a,
- 42:59SPEAKER_00: The secondary doors, like with the screen door that's glass.
- 43:03So technically it's a glass door,
- 43:05but the main door is a big,
- 43:07big heavy wood door.
- 43:08SPEAKER_00: It's great.
- 43:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 43:11When people leave and you get to like slam that big heavy door
- 43:15behind them to mark
- 43:17SPEAKER_00: that they finally left your house,
- 43:18SPEAKER_00: it's wonderful.
- 43:21SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 43:21SPEAKER_02: Never going to go visit you.
- 43:23SPEAKER_02: I don't know how you feel about that.
- 43:29SPEAKER_02: Can you do a British accent?
- 43:33SPEAKER_00: I have trouble doing it on the spot.
- 43:36SPEAKER_00: I can't really do one, not to pass in Britain.
- 43:40SPEAKER_02: I am very passable in Ireland.
- 43:43SPEAKER_02: It's the only accent I can do.
- 43:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you just drink a lot.
- 43:48SPEAKER_02: Well, I was going to say, I actually have to be very gin drunk to do it.
- 43:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 43:54SPEAKER_00: I mean, I can do a British accent to a degree.
- 44:00SPEAKER_02: No, you can't.
- 44:01SPEAKER_02: That was like a Missouri Brit.
- 44:05SPEAKER_00: I actually can't.
- 44:06SPEAKER_00: I have a lot of trouble doing it on command.
- 44:09SPEAKER_02: No, on the fly is impossible.
- 44:16SPEAKER_02: What is your favorite movie?
- 44:19SPEAKER_00: You can't ask a person that.
- 44:22SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 44:22SPEAKER_00: It's...
- 44:24SPEAKER_00: It's so dependent.
- 44:28SPEAKER_00: I really like The Brothers Blue, which no one's seen but me and my wife.
- 44:34SPEAKER_00: It is – Rian Johnson made it.
- 44:36SPEAKER_00: He didn't even talk about it.
- 44:39SPEAKER_00: But I saw it in the theater a bunch, like I think 11 times.
- 44:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 44:46SPEAKER_02: I've never even heard of this movie.
- 44:47SPEAKER_02: I have no idea what you're talking about.
- 44:50SPEAKER_00: It has Mark Ruffalo and Adrian Brody and Rachel Weisz.
- 44:57SPEAKER_00: And it's this weird...
- 45:00A lot of people got cranky because they said he was trying to
- 45:03ape Wes Anderson.
- 45:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 45:06SPEAKER_00: Which I don't agree with.
- 45:08SPEAKER_00: Wes Anderson doesn't own the concept of making that kind of movie.
- 45:13It's a heist movie,
- 45:14but it's a very weird...
- 45:16Involved has this whole mythology behind it.
- 45:19SPEAKER_00: Wait, what movie is it again?
- 45:23SPEAKER_00: It's called The Brothers Bloom.
- 45:25SPEAKER_00: It is one of the tightest scripts...
- 45:29SPEAKER_00: I have ever seen it foreshadows wonderfully.
- 45:32SPEAKER_00: It commentates on the story as the story is happening very well.
- 45:40SPEAKER_00: It's a very good movie.
- 45:42SPEAKER_00: Fantastic soundtrack.
- 45:43SPEAKER_00: Brian Johnson often works with his brother, Nathan Johnson.
- 45:48SPEAKER_00: who,
- 45:49SPEAKER_00: and,
- 45:49SPEAKER_00: uh,
- 45:50SPEAKER_00: he did this,
- 45:50SPEAKER_00: Nathan Johnson did the soundtrack for,
- 45:52SPEAKER_00: for the brothers bloom as a fantastic soundtrack.
- 45:55SPEAKER_00: It's like a wonderful orchestral score.
- 45:58SPEAKER_00: Um, so yeah, the brothers bloom is definitely up there.
- 46:01SPEAKER_00: Um,
- 46:04SPEAKER_00: I like the Shawshank Redemption a lot.
- 46:05SPEAKER_00: Everybody likes Shawshank Redemption.
- 46:07SPEAKER_02: I've actually never seen Shawshank Redemption.
- 46:09SPEAKER_00: My wife has never seen Shawshank Redemption.
- 46:12SPEAKER_00: And at one point, I was talking to her about this.
- 46:16SPEAKER_00: I made a bleak reference to something in the Shawshank Redemption.
- 46:19SPEAKER_00: And she got really confused.
- 46:20SPEAKER_00: I was like, that doesn't happen.
- 46:21And I come to find out,
- 46:23she thought the Shawshank Redemption and Rain Man were the same
- 46:26movie.
- 46:28SPEAKER_00: She thought the Shawshank Redemption was Rain Man.
- 46:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 46:34SPEAKER_02: I actually don't watch a ton of movies,
- 46:36so I always love asking people that because I don't have the
- 46:40attention span for
- 46:41SPEAKER_02: movies.
- 46:42SPEAKER_00: I love movies.
- 46:44SPEAKER_00: Movies are wonderful.
- 46:46Movies are the literature of the modern age because books that
- 46:50are written now for
- 46:50SPEAKER_00: the most part are complete crap.
- 46:53same with movies no no no they're still making good movies
- 46:57there's still good
- 46:58movies out there it's not fair people say that they're fewer
- 47:02and far between they
- 47:03were always few and far between it was always a lot of like you
- 47:06know weird pop
- 47:07pablum with a few a few actually decent ones thrown in we just
- 47:11have forgotten the
- 47:11pop pablum we remember the huge number of the good ones that
- 47:17have accumulated over
- 47:18SPEAKER_00: the years but um
- 47:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
- 47:21SPEAKER_00: no,
- 47:22what my favorite movie is depends on what my mood is at that
- 47:26particular moment,
- 47:26SPEAKER_00: what I want to see.
- 47:27SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I want to see a big action movie,
- 47:30and I probably have a favorite big action movie I want to watch
- 47:32in that moment.
- 47:33SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I want to see a little personal drama,
- 47:35SPEAKER_00: and I probably have a little personal drama I want to see in that movie.
- 47:39SPEAKER_00: At least it's not Under Siege.
- 47:41SPEAKER_00: No, Under Siege is not my favorite movie.
- 47:44SPEAKER_02: I'm giving you crap.
- 47:45SPEAKER_02: I did recognize that, by the way.
- 47:49SPEAKER_00: Everybody recognizes that cake.
- 47:51SPEAKER_00: Everybody in the world.
- 47:53SPEAKER_00: My wife would not recognize that cake.
- 47:55SPEAKER_00: She's never seen Under Siege, I guarantee it.
- 47:56I don't know this for a fact,
- 47:57but I guarantee she's never seen Under Siege.
- 48:00SPEAKER_02: I mean, look, I've seen it because I had all-guy friends growing up.
- 48:05SPEAKER_00: You used to be on cable constantly.
- 48:08There are all these movies that were always on rotation on
- 48:13cable television.
- 48:14SPEAKER_02: I think that's partly why I don't like movies,
- 48:16SPEAKER_02: because we had HBO growing up,
- 48:17SPEAKER_02: so I just watched whatever was always on to death.
- 48:22SPEAKER_02: I've seen Dude, Where's My Car?
- 48:24SPEAKER_02: so many times that I actually like that movie now.
- 48:28SPEAKER_02: That's what was on all the time.
- 48:31SPEAKER_02: If you had cable, you just grew to like what was on all the time.
- 48:37SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 48:38SPEAKER_02: I hate going to a movie theater.
- 48:40SPEAKER_02: I can think of nothing worse.
- 48:43SPEAKER_02: No, I hate it.
- 48:44SPEAKER_00: I don't like going to the movie theater.
- 48:48SPEAKER_00: I want to see the newest Mission Impossible.
- 48:51SPEAKER_00: Presumably, I believe, the last Ethan Hunt Mission Impossible movie.
- 48:55SPEAKER_00: But it's like three hours long.
- 48:58SPEAKER_00: I like going to the movie theater.
- 48:59SPEAKER_00: I like going to the movie theater for two hours.
- 49:01SPEAKER_00: Three hours, that's really pushing it for me.
- 49:03SPEAKER_02: In the recliner,
- 49:04SPEAKER_02: I like the movie theater that has,
- 49:06SPEAKER_02: like,
- 49:06SPEAKER_02: the recliner seats because I'm freakishly tall and not a skinny person.
- 49:13Like,
- 49:13I just want to be comfortable if I'm,
- 49:15like,
- 49:16trapped there for hours and hours.
- 49:18SPEAKER_02: And there's always really loud – I have a thing with –
- 49:21people eating loudly i can't deal with people chewing like
- 49:24chewing sounds make me
- 49:25want to just shoot myself going to restaurants must be fun for
- 49:29someone who yeah but
- 49:32going to restaurants is fine because people are talking and
- 49:34it's loud and there's
- 49:35background music and stuff if you're in a quiet theater and you
- 49:38just hear someone
- 49:39SPEAKER_02: chomping popcorn like oh i suppose um
- 49:44SPEAKER_00: So I have a 75-inch television.
- 49:49SPEAKER_00: I think I have a 75-inch.
- 49:52SPEAKER_00: And I have Dolby Atmos speakers set up.
- 49:55SPEAKER_02: I forgot you're a sound guy.
- 49:57SPEAKER_00: And I have a 4K Blu-ray player.
- 50:02SPEAKER_00: So going to the movie theater now, you have...
- 50:06I have to overcome,
- 50:07I really want to see a movie to the point where it overcomes my
- 50:11thinking.
- 50:12SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 50:12I could watch this with great sound at home on a big screen and
- 50:19be able to pause
- 50:20SPEAKER_00: the movie when I inevitably have to go to the bathroom.
- 50:25SPEAKER_02: On sound, or on TV sound, which also might explain why I don't like.
- 50:32SPEAKER_00: Wait, wait, you're talking about you use the built-in speakers?
- 50:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, you don't do that.
- 50:37SPEAKER_00: How big is the TV?
- 50:38SPEAKER_02: Like maybe 50 something.
- 50:41SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 50:42SPEAKER_02: It's not that big.
- 50:44SPEAKER_00: You can at least get a sound bar.
- 50:45SPEAKER_00: The sound bars aren't great,
- 50:47SPEAKER_00: but they make decent sound bars,
- 50:49SPEAKER_00: but the built-in speakers aren't good.
- 50:53the tv itself is not good i got it like the tv that is in the
- 50:58kitchen like living
- 50:59room whatever that i always end up using is i got it for like
- 51:04150 bucks on a prime
- 51:06SPEAKER_02: day sale it's a fire tv it's the world's worst tv like it
- 51:12SPEAKER_02: It will exit out of whenever I'm watching something on Peacock,
- 51:15SPEAKER_02: which is like exclusively what I watch.
- 51:18SPEAKER_02: It'll freeze and just the whole TV turns off and you're like, what?
- 51:22SPEAKER_00: What do you watch on Peacock?
- 51:26SPEAKER_02: Everything.
- 51:26SPEAKER_02: You watch Poker Face?
- 51:29SPEAKER_02: Well, I haven't.
- 51:30SPEAKER_02: I haven't.
- 51:32SPEAKER_02: My best friend is trying to get me into it,
- 51:34SPEAKER_02: and I didn't really get into it,
- 51:35SPEAKER_00: but she's coming out soon.
- 51:38SPEAKER_00: That's also Rian Johnson, the guy who did Brothers Bloom.
- 51:42SPEAKER_02: She's coming out soon and staying for a few days.
- 51:45SPEAKER_02: Oh, nice.
- 51:46SPEAKER_02: I can't get us into Casa Bonita, so we're going to need a show to binge.
- 51:50SPEAKER_00: But Poker Face, excellent first season.
- 51:52SPEAKER_00: Second season is...
- 51:54SPEAKER_00: I don't know that it's quite up to the first season thus far,
- 51:57SPEAKER_00: but I haven't finished it out,
- 51:58SPEAKER_00: so it's hard to tell where it's going.
- 52:01SPEAKER_00: But Poker Face, good show.
- 52:03SPEAKER_00: Really like it.
- 52:04Well,
- 52:05right now,
- 52:06my peacock time is usually just Love Island because it's
- 52:09summer.
- 52:12SPEAKER_00: Is what?
- 52:12SPEAKER_00: Love Island?
- 52:14SPEAKER_02: Love Island.
- 52:15SPEAKER_00: What is Love Island?
- 52:17SPEAKER_02: It's a horrible use.
- 52:20SPEAKER_02: You will be like, I can't believe you watch us.
- 52:22SPEAKER_02: It's actual trash.
- 52:23SPEAKER_00: I can believe you watch it.
- 52:26SPEAKER_02: It's so bad.
- 52:27SPEAKER_02: They take a bunch of single 20-somethings and –
- 52:33put them on like at this resort in Fiji and they basically just
- 52:37like live in barely
- 52:39their bathing suits and then like get all hoed out at night and
- 52:43they all have to
- 52:44SPEAKER_02: like date each other and they're supposed to like find love,
- 52:46SPEAKER_02: but it's all just drama and fighting and insanity.
- 52:50SPEAKER_02: And I love it.
- 52:50SPEAKER_02: I love it so very much.
- 52:52SPEAKER_02: They do a real time and there's a new episode every night.
- 52:57SPEAKER_02: So I'm like trying to catch up cause I'm a few back and that bothers me.
- 53:01SPEAKER_00: Everything about that sounds atrocious.
- 53:04SPEAKER_00: Literally everything.
- 53:06Luke walks in sometimes and he's like,
- 53:08should you be watching this with the kids around?
- 53:10SPEAKER_02: I'm like, they're upstairs.
- 53:11SPEAKER_00: It's fine.
- 53:13SPEAKER_00: It defines trash television.
- 53:16SPEAKER_02: The American one isn't quite as trashy as the British one.
- 53:20SPEAKER_02: The British one, they're like full on doing things on TV and...
- 53:27SPEAKER_00: The British are weird.
- 53:29SPEAKER_00: They're way too into having really scandalous sexual stuff on television.
- 53:35SPEAKER_00: And they get super cranky about any minor amount of violence.
- 53:40SPEAKER_02: Like Naked Attraction, this one show.
- 53:43i was in london once and my cousin and i were flipping through
- 53:47channels we had like
- 53:48horrible jet lag it was late at night and we're flipping
- 53:51through the tv and see
- 53:52this show that they have on where it's like people stand there
- 53:56fully freaking naked
- 53:57and that's how they pick who they want to go on a date with and
- 54:00they're like
- 54:01SPEAKER_02: discussing people's it's freaking wild it is the grossest weirdest show
- 54:07SPEAKER_02: But they get pissy if you say something like even slightly political.
- 54:11SPEAKER_02: Like you can't pray in front of an abortion center,
- 54:14but you absolutely can pick someone to date based on how they
- 54:18look naked on a TV
- 54:20SPEAKER_02: show.
- 54:20SPEAKER_02: Like wild, wild stuff.
- 54:23SPEAKER_00: To say they have misplaced priorities would be an understatement.
- 54:27SPEAKER_00: And they consider us to be prudes.
- 54:28SPEAKER_00: We are, though.
- 54:30SPEAKER_02: I'll take being a prude.
- 54:32SPEAKER_00: We have standards and morals.
- 54:36SPEAKER_02: Americans are a little too prudish on some things.
- 54:39SPEAKER_00: No, we're debatably not prudish enough.
- 54:42SPEAKER_00: We're a little too libertine.
- 54:46SPEAKER_02: My husband are so similar.
- 54:48SPEAKER_02: It's weird.
- 54:50The same old man rants,
- 54:52which,
- 54:52by the way,
- 54:53is what I was referencing yesterday.
- 54:54SPEAKER_02: I know you were mad at me.
- 54:56SPEAKER_02: It's fine.
- 54:57SPEAKER_00: I remember I was in England years ago,
- 55:03SPEAKER_00: and I swear to God,
- 55:05there was a yogurt commercial that had a topless lady doing the
- 55:09pitching for the
- 55:09SPEAKER_00: yogurt.
- 55:10SPEAKER_00: That's so weird.
- 55:15i was i'm pretty sure i was watching i think i was watching
- 55:18back to the future uh
- 55:20it was on tv and then they had a commercial and it was for
- 55:23yogurt there was a naked
- 55:24lady who was pitching i was like this is this is this is
- 55:28inappropriate this isn't
- 55:29right all right i have more questions these are even more
- 55:35random do you like weezer
- 55:40SPEAKER_00: Buddy Holly?
- 55:41SPEAKER_00: I like the song.
- 55:43SPEAKER_00: Other than that, I don't know I could name another Weezer song.
- 55:47SPEAKER_02: I mean, if you like Buddy Holly, you would like that whole album.
- 55:53SPEAKER_02: My daughter's getting super into Weezer and super into 90s rock.
- 55:58SPEAKER_00: The Wii U, he looked just like Buddy Holly.
- 56:01SPEAKER_00: Good song.
- 56:02SPEAKER_02: Well, then you should listen to Undone.
- 56:07SPEAKER_00: The sweater song?
- 56:10SPEAKER_02: No, the sweater song.
- 56:12SPEAKER_02: Okay, anyways.
- 56:13SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 56:16SPEAKER_02: Oh, she got oddly obsessed with this.
- 56:20SPEAKER_02: My dad was like obsessed with people's wedding songs.
- 56:22SPEAKER_02: What was your wedding song?
- 56:24SPEAKER_02: Didn't have one.
- 56:26SPEAKER_02: You guys didn't have like a first dance song?
- 56:29SPEAKER_00: It was some random swing dance.
- 56:32SPEAKER_00: I've told you before, we didn't have a DJ.
- 56:35SPEAKER_00: We had a jazz band or a hot jazz band who played.
- 56:41SPEAKER_00: So it was some random whatever hot jazz song they played.
- 56:44SPEAKER_00: I don't know what it was.
- 56:46SPEAKER_00: My wife may remember what specific song it was.
- 56:50SPEAKER_00: But it was just whatever they had in their repertoire.
- 56:54SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 56:57SPEAKER_02: I remember mine.
- 56:58SPEAKER_02: I had my friend record a version of it for me.
- 57:01SPEAKER_00: What song was it?
- 57:03SPEAKER_02: Come Rain or Come Shine.
- 57:05SPEAKER_00: By who?
- 57:07SPEAKER_02: Well, my friend recorded it for me.
- 57:10SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure I know.
- 57:12SPEAKER_02: You know Come Rain or Come Shine.
- 57:14SPEAKER_00: I might.
- 57:14SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 57:15SPEAKER_00: I'll look it up later.
- 57:15SPEAKER_02: It's a jazz song.
- 57:17SPEAKER_02: It's like exclusively your genre.

- 57:54and I feel like we're going to end up scrapping it because
- 57:56you're going to hate how
- 57:57SPEAKER_02: you sound.
- 57:58SPEAKER_00: Well, we'll see.
- 57:59SPEAKER_00: I thought it was cute, but... That's good.
- 58:01SPEAKER_00: We can do it again.

- 58:05SPEAKER_02: No, like I thought it was cute and I thought it was fun.
- 58:07SPEAKER_02: I just think you're going to hate how it sounds.
