• 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 own presences, presents enough. I already had too much stuff,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So how do you dare.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: To surbey me?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm pretture Winneker. We're here,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: you're here. I'm glad you're listening to the podcast rather
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: than doing something stupid like reading or talking to a
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: loved one or I don't know, improving your life. This
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: is where you need to be. You know what I
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: thought as I came into the studio this morning is
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: it's been a long time since I've had a life check.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Throughout public school, you're getting lice checks and then suddenly
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: they're gone.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I might have lice.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: So that's something that our guests will have to just
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: deal with. I mean, my life is rich and full.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Everyone knows my life is rich and full. Don't ask anything.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I'm wearing a cute top, and I expect you to
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: be doing the same. If you can't see it, you're
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: obviously listening.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: More. If you're watching it.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: On YouTube, you get to enjoy my cute top for
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: as long as you want. Is there anything else going on?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Let me look at my business. No, No, just more
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: right wing rhetoric. Our guest is out of control already.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: He's been on the show before during the you know
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: when he you know, we'll get into that probably or
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: maybe not. Maybe I'll avoid the topic. I well, everyone
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: loves today's guests. I have a lot of problems with him.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: It's yes or leicster.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, just top three things you hate about me right now? Well,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you're hideous okay, Yes, I think that's just a constant problem. Yeah.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Personality and you don't loan me money.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: That okay, that is legitimate. But the other two I
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: can't do anything about. I should be giving you.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: You should be giving on a weekly basis. Stipend.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so stipend to have a stipend.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Have like I I think about once a week. I'm like,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: what if you just had like a bene factor or.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Even a controlling spouse.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Truly, if I like, the spouse can do whatever they
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: want if I get the stipend.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Are you? Oh my god? The idea of like I
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: was on Instagram and I saw this woman who, by
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the way, I really I do.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Outside of the right wing rhetoric, there's the white right
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: wing rhetoric kind of saying right right wing rhetoric, but
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: it also always, you know, that's if that's the tree,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: the branches are always kind of like weird fringe conspiracy.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: And so what got into my algorithm was this woman
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: sitting at like a beautiful infinity pool and she's like
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: the caption is something like everyone remembers me as like
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: the Connecticut hedge fund wife until one day I woke
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: up and realized I was seeing demons and vampires and
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: that was the actual essence of everyone's soul that I
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: had been friends with. But like I was like, okay, ay,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: like why.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Are you messing your money up? One? Right, just keep
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the money. But two it's like, but you're still living
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the life I think unless that was an old video
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: that you put the caption on. But it was interesting
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: in the sense that I was like, oh, like everyone
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: so messed up that you, even like rich just used
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to be its own person anality. But now we need
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a secondary.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: It's not enough.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: You now need to become broken brain exactly possessed it is. Yes, yes,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: so this but her new her new take is I
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: see demons.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: She's a very rich claar of I was like, yeah,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: but that's why I think it's well they usually but
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: they start poor and then then becomes the money. But
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I was like, wow, you started with money and then
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: was like, I also.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Need this new opportunity to scam.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: People's that she's that board, rich that board at this point,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: she's a clear for the love of the game, You don't.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: You don't see a lot of those.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: That's somebody who's really just for the purity. Yes, exactly, Wow,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I should get in touch. Yeah, I hit a quick
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: save on that Instagram so.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: More than now, your algorithm is gonna.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Be feeding you.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely it's that. And it's a lot of like
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: homemade Russian horror clips. I know, it's great, sounds good
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: to me actually, just like people in Russia who make
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: like these, like literally like thirty second short horror.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Films, Like I don't know, it's really it's interesting because
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: you're like the Internet is so terrible, but then you're like,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I never would have seen this, and like I clearly
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: am a huge Russian horror short version.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: No one knows you like the internet knows you, right, exactly,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: like what are they putting in these horror videos.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It's it's a lot of it so weird.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: It's like a young woman like going through a house
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: and it's dark and it's empty, and they also all
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: of them do this.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: They put on a VHS like cam quarter film. Oh sure,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: she looks found footage. Yeah, and it's like them like.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely, it's very it's very it's very like, uh,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of the It's like when you
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: go to a barber shop and everything is leather.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: It's like the same where you're on something exactly exactly.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not buying that, yes exactly.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: It's just very my first barship, my first horror film.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: But it's like them looking through a house and then
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: like they always end with them seeing an evil version
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: of themselves like across the room, like making a crazy face,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: like and then they go and it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Ends I'm gonna get into this, I'm gonna start making
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you know what. I saved a few and I'm glad.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: They're probably making so much money.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, well here's the thing.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: And it's like, look far be it for me to
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: know anything about like what what's the money they spend
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: in Russia.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: The rouble is.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: That the role now you're setting like a real rupee India, yes, okay,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: and maybe other countries.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, I was and also Zelda, what's it? Zelda's what?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: And Zelda you collect rupees literal?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I thought you're naming a currency that is so funny,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: drowning of course many ok arenas to purchase. I uh uh.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Here's what I'll say though, is currency wise, Like I
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: just feel like, you know, you throw up a few
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: horror videos.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: On Instagram, like I could buy you a house in Russia.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you know.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I yeah, I wonder how what the exchange rate is
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: between I mean, I can't imagine the dollars soaring.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: No, but Russia.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I'm always unclear as to what's going on. And my
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I get the things I get from Russia or Eastern
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Europe are usually people who have a hundred raccoons.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, I get a few of those. I don't get
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the but I'm I am also part of raccoon Instagram.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I feel like I think I've talked about this on
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: this podcast before, but I feel like the majority of
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: multiple raccoon owners when they have you know, they're all
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: over the kitchen floor is Eastern Europe, Russia, and I
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: don't understand why. I wonder if there's just like not
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: a law. I'm just trying to figure out why is
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: it such a such a buzzy thing over there?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: And then it's like the Deep South here or something.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Right, But is it like, are are like raccoons, They're
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: like parakeets?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Oh interesting?
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: I mean like it's just like this isn't a dog.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: It's smarter, right, you know what I mean? But like,
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: because I also just you know, the American the American
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: attitude towards raccoons.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: It's complicated. It's complicated.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: So you know, some are our friends, some have made
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: themselves out to be our enemies, and it's you never
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: know which when you're getting I feel like maybe the
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Eastern European raccoons are like we're here just a peaceful
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: yeah yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, give me a few cheetos,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: give you a handful.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Of rabbit food and like.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Or what oh yeah, yeah, some pickled cabbage?
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Is that is that? Now?
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: This is the rest of the podcast will be us
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: trying to guess currencies and things that people.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Even Eastern Europe.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: We just saw it like two weeks all the time,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: trust me that I believe.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Speaking of wildlife, I last night was eating dinner and
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: atwater Village and I saw several mice at an outdoor situation.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Nightmare.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, this is a new thing in LA.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, okay, But here's my question. So were these mice
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: of the world or mice of the restaurant?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: That's a good question. I think mice of the world.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I think they were coming from the street for the food,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: so that's right, I guess better. Yes, yes, but also
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: you think the mice from the restaurant, or at least
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: full They're not coming from me, right, yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: These ones are a nightmare situation. But I don't know
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: what's I don't know what's happening. It's the exploding mice population.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Exploding mice populations. Such a good string of arts. I've
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: lived here for now, I don't know, fifteen years or something,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: and it's in the last two years it's just suddenly everywhere.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Well weirdly enough.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: So I know this only from living I live in
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: me and my wife lived in Upstate New York for
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: a little bit as well. And with climate change, it's
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: always it's always climate. But mice apparently have not not
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: like super not super intolerant, but are pretty intolerant too
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: cold weather. So what would happen is that winter would strike,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: especially in the Northeast, they would all die minus like five.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Maybe'd repopulate in the summer months, and the warmer months
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: same thing. Here, we'd have rain, it'd be a little
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: bit colder, but now it's never cold enough for all
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: To die, so they're just reproducing.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: And it's it's intense because like, here's the thing, Like
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: I don't love mice. I go out of my way
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: not to harm them, but I'm not I'm not, like,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm not hanging out with mice.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Rats.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Like you can teach a rat to do stuff that's
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: very small. You know, they wear they wear pants, that's
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: one thing.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: If they do math, I would believe that. I bet
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: they can do basic math.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: They can't.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, they at least know mazes, which is right.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I know is not math.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: But if someone asked me, is a maze math, I'd go, yeah,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: it is kind of.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: You would probably find both of those in like a
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: highlights magazine or something exactly. Rats can read highlights magazine.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: That that is one thing we do know.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: So you're seeing what you're seeing are a new school
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: of winter.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: But I would add that speaks highly of the restaurant.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Oh that it's good food. Yeah yeah, and they've got
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: good tastes. Yeah yeah, right, they love Mediterranean food. They're
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: after hamas.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: This kind of.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Thing, just like walking around like a piece of couscouse
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: uh a couse if.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: You won't.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Did it?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Did it ruin?
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Ruined a lot of things?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, no, totally fait. It ruined dinner.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: It basically has ruined my week. It's ruined that restaurant. Yeah,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: it's ruined my friendship with that friend that I was
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: having dinner with.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: It's all over, Okay, that's you know, we had a
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: mouse at our place here in Los Angeles and I
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: caught it and I caught it in a plastic like shoe.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: It was a it was a clear plastic shoebox, you know,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the one comes in a clear plastic Amazon. No, no, no,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I just bought it off Amazon. It's like those collapsable
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: ones that have the little stack whatever. But can't getting it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. You get it was important
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: with dummy, I know, a plastic shoeboxes.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: I get this mouse and I'm talking to my wife Chelsea,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, hey, it's in here, Like do we
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: just let it out in the backyard?
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Do we like take it out to the street.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: As we're having this conversation, the mouse jumps, knocks the
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: lid open of the shoe box, then jumps again like truly,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: like nine like a whole nine inches, just clears this
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: box and then takes off into the into the backyard.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: And I was like, well, I mean, first of all,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: like I gotta respect that, Like I can't, you know
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Yeah, saw an opportunity, Yes, yes, exactly. Yeah.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: To me, it's like when someone I genuinely believe this,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: if you break out a prison legally should not be
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: allowed to go look for you absolutely, like you're hey,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: it's very hard to do exactly. They've made it very
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: difficult at this point. Yes. And I also it's like
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: you lost as law enforced man, Yeah, like you know
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like you've had your chance when you
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: went trials and like a sentencing like all of these things.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: And then someone I don't know with like a file
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: and a birthday cake figured it out. I'm sorry, that's amazing. Yeah,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: they didn't.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: They put in the work, a lot of work, yes,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: and they had to think it out.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Did you ever see Escape at Danamora? Oh?
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: That's the good until Yes, Britian Arquett, Yes, Patricia, Patricia
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Arquette and Benicio del.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Toro, and I love Paul, I love a Benicio Paul
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Dano and you you're one of two people in Hollywood
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: who hates it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: What do we like? Look? Far be it for us
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: to talk about Hollywood stuff, But here we are. This
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: is a holo cast.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if you if you would have made me choose,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: like even if you like, even if you narrowed it
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: down to two choices on each end and said like, okay,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: here are two directors. One is Quentin Tarantino and the
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: other one is Steven Spielberg. And then on this side
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: we have actors. One is Paul Dano and one is
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know, well.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Benicio del Toro.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Which director is going to say something really terrible about
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: one of these actors? I there's no world where the
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: combination of Quentin Tarantino and Paul Dano would have made
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: it into my mind. It's like it's so objectively funny
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: because like it just doesn't make makes sense.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: But that's the sort of thing where it's like it
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: feels like he's like reading you don't really picture Tarantina
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: watching current media like path. So it's like something must
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: have else, must have happened, had run in at a
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: restaurant or something, because why else that poll is so weird?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: No, but that's what makes it so funny. It would
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: be like, like legitimately, if me and you were talking
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: and like suddenly you were like, I hate Rob Kardashi,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: like no one is talking about that. Really it really
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: look it was terrible and it was mean and it
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: was cruel. Now that being said, I did laugh when
• 15:38

  Speaker 3: day without eating. Yeah, that seems impossible to it.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: You know. I here's the thing, and I wish I
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: could be like, no, you actually stop thinking about it.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: That's not true. It's hell. It's hell. But you really
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: are just kind of like, at least for me, like
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I can't always be eating, and that's the problem is
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: that if you write me alone, I would always be eating.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: And also, look, I don't want to be one of
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: these anti meds guys, but this is the podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I was on Zoloft for like two years, and it
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: spiked my appetite in a way that I never thought imaginable.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: So when I started switching and like coming off one
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: and going on another, I was like, I need to
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: be able to like regulate.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: This a little bit better.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: So I was like, what better way to regulate eating
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: by not doing it at all?
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: And between four and eight?
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Are you going crazy?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: You want to?
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: But like a, You're stomach is just so small, and
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: and like you can really only do so much eating
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: in four hours.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Like I'm not like, Okay, now I'm going to Mikey's diner.
• 25:08

• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on, you know I have a treat.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: But but what I've been thinking about as of late
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: is like, do I open the window to a permanent
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: six hours and then only do a treat like.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Every five days? Oh?
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Interesting, you know, because I think that is one of
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: my problems that like, I'm not like I'm a sweet
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: tooth person. I'm like, if anything with sugar is around me,

• 26:00
  Speaker 2: For sure?
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize you had guys had three dogs.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Now, But so okay, So this is a little backstory.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Me and Bridge our dogs go to the same dog
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: walkers hiker big big Daddy, Yeah, big Daddy, Saul, And uh,
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: I saw you repost a Saul post about what is
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say your dog's name, but I show you.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: I don't want to get kidnapped.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: So I am very open with my dog's names. Both
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Chelsea DeVante as my wife, and Chelsea Peretti are very
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: anti people knowing your dog's names. Sing and it's because
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: of kidnapping, and I was like, I and it's not.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: And I love my dogs so much as like I
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: think if something somebody wants something out of me, like
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: they would just jump me or whatever, I don't think,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: and then get the dog and then we're gonna you
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: know what he called the dogs, Yes, exactly exactly. First
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: want to find the trainer. Then we're gonna you know.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: But then I'm like, I say all that, and then
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: someone clubbed Lady gagas like you know, so like, but
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: that's Lady Gaga, right, you know what I mean? Like,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you know you're getting X amount of money less you
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: know that there's a pool of me exactly.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: No one's kidnapping my dogs a real gamble, yeah exactly,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Like I hope this guy's worked in the past eighteen
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: months because otherwise this.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Is I hope it's a decent pantry.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Like so, they're very anti dog names on podcasts. I
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: won't say it, but that's how I found out. And
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, look at us brothers.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Brothers unbelievable, and like the way he's this guy's a matriician.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, truly, he's so incredible.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: He like lines them.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Up from y'all have one. Yes.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: And so there's to the original question. You're saying that
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: we have three. Yes, we have three now. We got
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: one two days after the initial COVID shut down. Then
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: almost a year ago exactly, we got our second dog
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: because of the fires, and then this third dog we
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: were going to foster, but it bonded so hard with
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: our second dog that like this was crazy. Yeah, it
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: was just like, I'm never going to work again anyway,
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: I'll just be at home. I'll take care of the dogs.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: It's fine, I'm a dog.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Well, there's something else we probably should talk about. Yeah,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've been trying to avoid the topic.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Answer.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: You were on the podcast years and years ago, and yes, yes,
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: the time you were wearing like a mic that made
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: you look like you're working in a call center over zoom,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: it felt like I had called in to complain. Yeah, yes,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: but at the time the podcast is called, I said no,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: gifts another time it was early days. I can't blame
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: you for not realizing what was going wrong. We've been
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: around for six years now. I assume you know what
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: the deal is. Yes, yes, So it's a little surprise
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: when you showed up with what's clearly a gift and
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: I assume it's for me. Yes, okay, yes, do you
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: have anything to say or should I.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Just open an Okay? Now, now I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: be real with you.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: It's I'm in a I'm in a utilitarian place in
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: my life. Okay, so even you know, even getting someone flowers, like,
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: I feel like, what is the purpose behind this?
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: With yes, love and emotion, but like, can it also
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: be used for decoration? You know what I mean?
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Vegetables?
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Right exactly? Yes? Well will this one day become a
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: nice popery? Right? You know?
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: So, while this is a gift, I know you, I
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: know your lifestyle, I know the things that you're going through,
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: and so this is this is what I find to
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: be maybe the most useful thing for any adult to
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: It's a gift, but any.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Adult to have, and it's a very suicide pick. It's
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: it's a collassable betel.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: I like what you're saying, because I have collected a
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: lot of things are unusable, so we'll see about Yes, yes,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: oh this is great.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: It's not just a screwdriver, and this is important. This
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: is it's a ratcheting screwdriver. Oh I haven't heard of
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: a ratcheting So a ratching screwdriver is the one that
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: clicks and then you push, click and turn, click and turn.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: And the reason that is important is because you can
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: apply more force with a ratching screwdriver than you could
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: with the regular I had no idea.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, when I see this sort of thing, I just think, oh,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: it's just like a convenient.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Of course, yes, of course we have multiple bits and
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: like we have we got look we got a Phillips
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: head on there. We have two Phillips heads. I think
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: we have a few torques. We have two flatheads as well.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: And as someone who has a house, it's just you're
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: constantly there's constantly something needs, there's.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Constantly something happening. And like I also think that like
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you're a power tools person, mildly, mildly,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: this is something you keep in your kitchen drawer. You
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: always know where it is. Click click, clack clack. You
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: throw it right back in there. It's it's great for it.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Like I mean, I even use them to like quite literally,
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: like I'll just use the Phillips part of it, puncture
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: a tiny little hole in the drawwall, and I'll know
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: exactly where to hang a picture. Like I genuinely cannot
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: say enough.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: About a ratcheting screwdriver.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: So that is that's you can use it for your car,
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: like I mean, just anything anything.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: They're the best.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: I don't buy it. Screwdriver seems like a fad. People
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: aren't going to get into these things. But I do
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: want to back up and just say I don't feel
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: like you were impressed enough that I knew these were
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: called bits.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I absolutely I feel like I should get
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: a little more. First of all, Utah correct, Utah. Okay.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: So there's the reason maybe it didn't seem as impressed
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: is because, like there's just a certain level of osmosis
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: that happened. Right when you're from a place like a Utah.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: You can't avoid exactly. Screwdriver has been right exactly.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: If you were like and then these little ding dooms,
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: I'd be like, okay, Okay, that's impossible.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: You're doing this for the You're doing this for the joke,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? But no, it's it's like look.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: And also again, I.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: Genuinely believe that once you reach a certain level of
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: muscular guys just start saying things to you, and so
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: you just have to learn them, you know what I mean.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: And I think you're at that point where guys are
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: just like talking to you about things, and even if
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: you didn't want to know, you have to be like, yeah, no.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: For sure, a bit, oh yeah, that's it. I'm at
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: home depot every day just kind of picking up the
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: vocabulary and.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Wirepers Cool.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: You've become like a very like, uh, let's be honest,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: a Tim Allen type. You think you own a truck.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: You're giving away screwdrivers?
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Is gift?
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're puncturing holes in the dry wall.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: No, you know what it is. And I genuinely it's
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: a twofold thing.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: One.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: I'm from Georgia and that is the mostest at all.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: So there's actually three things.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: There's that. There's very much the like, I'm I'm not
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: ashamed of my age. I'm okay, he's seventeen years old,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: and I like to kiss.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: But I'm forty one, and like I, I did not.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: I didn't expect as much of childhood influence to make
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: it back into my adulthood in terms of just being like, oh,
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: per the truck and all these things. I think that, like,
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: especially when you're in your early twenties, you want to reject.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: All that stuff and be like no, no, no, no, no,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: I don't like trucks.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: What I do like is the criteria collection and tense
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: at the Voodoo festival exactly.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: And then one day you're like, oh, but.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: Like I you know again, it's like I started to
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: see the usefulness of all this stuff and it lost
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: the meaning of just being like redneck kids at my
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: school having this stuff and then being like, oh, okay,
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: I actually need a truck because of X, Y and Z.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Mostly my mom needs things hold on Facebook marketplace, like
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: the amount of like like me and Chelsea move so
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: much stuff, and then the other sixty five percent of
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: the time it's just my mom being like, there's a
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: shelf in Santa Clarita that you need to go get
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: by eight am, and of course, thank you so much.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: And the last thing was uh covid r, I just.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: I got really freaked out about I was like, I
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: just don't want to be caught in a situation where
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know anything, and like I knew enough, but
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: I was like it really you know to actually the
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: last time we were talking on the podcast, it was
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: like the last time we spoke six years ago.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: But I was just like I just wanted to make
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: sure that like a like I was man like, I'm
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: not gonna lie like I was a bleach on the groceries.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Like I mean, there was a period literally everyone wants
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: so and then that like if you were in a
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: couple that you saw a little bit of split and
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: then yeah.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Exactly, so like I was like I don't want people
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: in the house and like so I was just like
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: on the internet being like how do I do this?
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: How do I do that? And so like.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: Uh And also lastly, in all seriousness, I love Tim Allan.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: That I just more than anything. His face it gets better. Yeah. Yeah,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I'm just like one of these guys. I'm like, whoa
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: the brad Pitt, Tim Allen.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: That's your What is Tim Allen doing?
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Man? I it's it's and I know you're asking us
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: some joke, but it is. It is interesting in the
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: sense that like you're like, how did he become the
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: guy that like not even us.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: It's not like low world is like Tim Alan like
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: like here's the thing guy Fieri. Everyone is like that
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: is the diner guy.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: His entire life is like a halopeno pancake, you know
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: what I mean. Like, but Tim Allen is just like you.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: You were honest like for a little bit, like hope
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: improvement was huge. I'm not right, but it's like you
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: then got to just like fully adopt the personality. It's
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: so weird love like being like man, yeah exactly exactly,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: like permanently. Yeah.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Like it's not like he's not like Mike, was it,
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: Mike Low Is that the guy from like Dirty Jobs,
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Mike Row Mike.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: You know who like literally going and be like, hey,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I changed a sewer to watch you do it right? Right,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Like I don't know, So so I say to say
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: that I'm literally literally stronger than Tim Allen spiritually, mentally, physically.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: I believe you make a really good point because he
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: wasn't like known as like the tool man guy until
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: that show, right, and then he was an actor portraying
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: that and now that's just who he is, and he's like, it's.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Like if you and like, here's the thing you always
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: look You always come with a cute top. We know that.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: But it's like if just from this episode, you addressing
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: the fact that you're wearing a cute top and then.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you're cute top Bridger like feel like, well,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: you know he has other stuff, you know, I would
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: be like the opposite of Bert Christ. Oh my god,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: whoa no top?
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: Cute top that like, I don't know what's better? Do
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: you do you play with in you before Bert? Or
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: do you come in after Bert.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: And remind people exactly? And now we're getting dressed. People
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: are so happy my shirt is not because you're you're
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: the guy that should have it all.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, but people are begging for it. People are begging
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Get this guy on.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Stage without a shirt?
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: What'd you do it?
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Would I take my shirt off on stage?
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Like okay, what is how about this?
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: What is the amount of money that you're like uncomfortable
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: doing fifty dates no shirt?
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: You're asking the wrong guy because still to me, like
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: forty dollars is a lot of money.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, I mean if it's forty dollars, then yeah, but
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I mean what forty times fifty show fifty nights? Yeah,
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: what is twenty grand? Yeah that's not worth it. Come on,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: come on with travel. I don't know the business the
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: way it is. That's true. Ask me in a few weeks.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I might need that to brand and suddenly I'm
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: all over the country driving I need it. What are
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: you working on around the house? Are you constantly doing projects?
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Yes? You know.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: And it's also like this is like maybe I don't know,
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: maybe it's kind of I want to say cheap scape,
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: but again it's also necessity because you know, we rent
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: where we live.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: It's like we I really try.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: To avoid hitting up the landlord slash owner of the
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: house as much as possible. So I'm like, if I
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: can just do this, I'll just do this always on
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: landlord's sides.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Well, that's my huge thing. It's it's literally why I
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: flew to New York to vote against body. I was like,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: it's gotta be Guomo or the Curtis. What was it?
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: I can't remember.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: I always want to say see one, but that's just
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: a character. Yeah.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: But also it's like like, look, the reality is that
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: we do have three dogs, and so like you don't
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: want someone to just pop it up right when you're
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: renting you know you're right exactly exactly, and like you
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: know they've been cool and all that stuff.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: So I say all that to say that it's also
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: like a good like like I'm.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: Not gonna tear down a wall and fix the plumbing, sure,
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: but anything that I mostly can do, like if I
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: knew plumbing, and then I would have done it. But
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: like almost anything that happens I I take care of.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Well, it's like it's a nightmare when there is something
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: that feels so small and you're like, oh, if only
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: I had paid slight attention to how to do this,
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: yeah yeah, and then you're now.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Paying somebody to do it well. Perfect example or dishwasher.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: I fixed it twice. Oh my god, it was a nightmare.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: It was installed, so and this is one of the
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: times I called the landlord. It was installed, and then
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: they put in a new floor and the problem is
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: that now the tile was too high to get the
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: so I had to cut out the tie to get it,
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: cut out tool, cut out the tile, all the stuff,
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: I pull it out. I completely fix it, filters, all
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: this stuff, and then something happened where the tubing from
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: the sink to the actual dishwasher gets messed up.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: You first of all, you love this story. Second of all,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: it gets longer, I'm going to steal the story longer
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: and it gets more boring.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: I'm taking this on the road, wash chan.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: The short version is I didn't I couldn't see where
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: the tube connected. Oh and so I actually did have
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: to call someone and I literally showed up within thirty seconds.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: It's like it's cleaned. That'll be two hundred and fifty dollars,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, of course, of course, of course.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: It is exactly that amount of money that would have
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: changed my life, and I've been able to save it. Yeah,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, and that guy feels so powerful. I'm suah yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: oh for sure. It's like mechanics where you're just like, hey,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: like you just have the tools for this, Like almost
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: anyone can change oil if you go, unscrew this, screw
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: it back, change the filter. Poor oil. But there was
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: just like, oh, look at this idiot, Look at this
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: idiot who can't stop crying.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: This is my problem with surgeons, you know, But you've
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: got the tools, big deal.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: Do you Okay, do you think I'm not I'm not
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: saying that you could be a surgeon, but thank you.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: I actually appreciate that you I think I like, no, no, no,
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: I mean right now, like, I don't think you just
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: hop into surgery. But do you think there's emotionally a
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: part of you that could have handled being a surgeon?
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Absolutely? Really emotionally yes, I think I could have been.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: But whoa be like the grossness element? I don't thinkled
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: just like I would have been gagging.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Correct?
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: Do you want to hear your searche and gagging? O?
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, well, if you hear them, then
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: that's the worst part. Verston. It was like, oh my god,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: I'm awake. What I got? So again? Very late in life?
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: I just got my wisdom teeth pulled like three or
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: four months ago. What were you just say?
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: No, this is so interesting to me because you might
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: have to get his out and I had mine out
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: when I was eighteen and late in life, and let's
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: be honest, you're very late in life.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, this might be the last. This
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: might be the last part.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Don't say things like that on this podcast especially, You've
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: got many podcasts Okay, cool, I I hit mine out
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: eighteen and you're halfing years out now as an adult.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. I might as well have had open
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: heart surgery. That's how hard my body reacted to the
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: recovery of it. Like I mean, I was like waking
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: up in the middle and I like sweating. Like Chelsea's like,
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: what is going on? Like my wisdom teeth? I'm sorry? What?
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: Like again, she got hers out when she was eighteen,
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: and like I, I kept going to the dentist and
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: I kept being like, yours are like they're in mostly normal,
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: like something may change, but like you don't need to
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: do it. If you don't need to do it, that's fine.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: But then they started like you know, turning and whatever.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: So so I get the surgery, the hard hitting surgery
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: of wisdom teeth. The dentist when she's taking out this
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: bottom sorry, this bottom left one, she's like, hey, uh,
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: if anything becomes you'll always feel pressure.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: If anything becomes painful, you have to let me know.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: So they did not put.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: You onto Yeah, no, of course not. I think they
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: looked at my insurance so like he's gonna be awake.
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: So the first two they get out in the problem.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: They get to this.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: One, this this bottom left one, and I'm like, ah,
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: like I can feel it.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: I can feel it. Something's wrong. And she goes, I
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: think you're confusing pressure with pain, and I went, I'm not, like,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: I know you just took two out. You know, there
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: are two people here and having the experience exactly.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: So she literally goes, ugh, rolls her eyes like re
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: numbs me or whatever.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: I get it out. A week later, Bridge, I'm in
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: so much pain, like I'm just like having a sip
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: of water and just like merely like cusping my lips.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: To the glass is like too much. So I just
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: like hit her up and I'm like, hey, can I
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: just come in and talk to you? And so uh
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: I go back in and I swear to God, I'm like, hey,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: how are you. When she walks in, she goes, I
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: told you this would happen.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: I was like, what is going on? Like she I
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: was like, I don't know how I made you mad?
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: Like sincerely, she got kicked out of her band exactly.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: It was that's full I'm shusy now, but I'm also
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: just now on the other side of it. And she
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: called me like she you know, the office called me
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: and they're like, uh so when you want to come
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: in for your phone up? And I was like, never, never,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: I will. I would rather start with someone who just
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: is like in school, right, you know what I mean?
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: So wow, So I say all that to say that
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I'm with you emotionally. I think I could do it.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: And I even think I could handle the queasiness. I
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: don't know if I don't think I can handle I mean,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: I guess that's part of the emotion of it. I
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: don't know if I can handle the fan like if
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: there's like families around like.
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: That really freaks me out because then it's like, you know,
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: it's us, so where you have to be like Patch Adams.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: And so there's leg gone was Patch Adam's based on
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: a real thing? I believe he was.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: And I'd also argue there's no way he was as
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: funny as Robin Williams.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: So they really lucked out, right.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: This guy was probably an annoying loser, right.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Because I mean, here's the thing. If your doctor dressed
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: as a clown, get a life.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: First of all, Hey, but I don't want anything to.
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: Do with it.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no, figure out this hepatitis like,
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: I don't why are you why are.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Your lips red? Yeah, there's nothing about that.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: I want anything. I do not want a professional in
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: my life being funny, right, especially.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Trying dude, I look man.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: And it's also why like I genuinely I don't think
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: you can tell anyone what you actually do. You have
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: to say you were like when people ask me, I'm like,
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: I work in production.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: I'm in marketing. Yes, oh see there you and not
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: for fun thing right?
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's for Pfizer and not the commercial.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Just have to keep fighting the pamphlets, the pamplets that
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: you see the doctor, they're very depressed. Stop asking me questions.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: No, the moment you tell somebody there, you'll be pitch
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: television shows. Yes, they'll be joking. They'll be asking you
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: to tell.
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: Them a joke.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Just hell, pure hell.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: I When I first moved to LA I moved in
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: with a couple in their baby.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, Hollywood, Hollywood swinging, and it's fine. I moved to
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: the big city.
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: It was with a couple of their baby.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: But the first thing they asked me was to tell
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: them a joke, and I knew it was downhill from there.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Oh wait, you didn't know them. No, it was.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, literally craigslist. That can you imagine?
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: That is legitimately insane. That is so I would I
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: would rather.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: Live with a single drug addict then a couple.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: And how old was the baby? The baby was like
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: a year old. Oh, so you were living with a
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: nuclear family.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: I believe in the family, traditional family.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: That is so okay, okay, I don't want to switch
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: the dynamic, but it really feels like you're.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: But just just here. Okay, So was this a guess
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: house situation or like just in there with the family,
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: just simply another one of the bedrooms.
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: What are you talking about?
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: It's just like over to big dinner. They were like,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: that is crazy. It was.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, it didn't surprise, it didn't work out. I
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: was out of there after like three months, and they
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: were so mad that I left. But sorry, you didn't
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: get me onto your lease.
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: That's your fault.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you were clearly paying for that baby.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was absolutely paying for the baby. But like
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: the whole situation, they asked me to tell a joke immediately.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: They wanted me to pay one hundred and fifty dollars
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: a week for groceries or I was like, I'm going
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: to be eating shredded.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: When I'm sorry.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they criticized like my diet choices when I started
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: buying cheap groceries. But it was like, you know, I'm
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: living with a couple on their baby. Where do you
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: think my money is?
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I get?
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Wait, what part of was that? Like?
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Mid city West Hollywood is my god, right behind the
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Magnolia Bakery there on Third Stroke.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: Okay, hitting part of town. We love that part of
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: love that part of town. I mean you're near.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: I believe there's a volcano down there.
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: There is a volcano.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: I love that. I will only live within walking distance. Wow,
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: but you're talking to the king. Look that is here's
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: the thing. Look, people struggle all that stuff. I get.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: They're like, hey, we need a roommate and alleviate some
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: of this. I've never heard of a family being like
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: and you also need to go in on groceries. You
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: know that is? That is so to me. That's like
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: literally like hey, we're all putting in ten dollars on
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: this one shirt. It's like very like traveling pants. Like
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, we have no idea how this is gonna
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: work out. I just met you fifty.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine is so much money?
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: That is so much money.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: It's an enormous like And then so that brings up
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: some questions, actually, are they putting any money in for
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: the groceries? For all that?
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: I've never even thought about that.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: I just kind of assumed, Oh, they're paying the other half,
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: which is an exorbitant amount of money. Right now, I'm like, oh,
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: was I going to just be paying for all of the.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Food, right and they're just like eating shrimp?
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: Wait, okay, okay, sorry, one more question, and and like, actually,
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: maybe it may not be comfortable answering, but how much
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: was it per month?
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: I think it was like six hundred a month?
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: Did you have your own bathroom?
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, so it was, you know, and I was living
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: in a decent part of town, right and I knew
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: literally no one in La. It was like a safish
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: seeming like coming to La. Still on the on paper,
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: a very bad, very bad.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Have you ever spoken to them ever?
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: No, but one of them I think found me on
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: social media at some point. I hope that they're not listeners.
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: We'll get at.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: Least three bad reviews and like followed me as like
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: simply not following because when I gave them the month's notice,
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: they were so pissed.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were furious with me.
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not going to be friends with you, right yea,
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: yeah for three months and then you were mean to me.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: You take pictures of the apartment so you could put
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: the apartment back on Craigslist. So the only other things
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: I remember about them were at one point she was
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: watching classic movie Jack and Jill Adam Sadler's Jack and Jill,
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: and somehow I was like, I must have said, how's
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: the movie? And she said, well, it's not Shrek funny,
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: it's just like crazy, Like what is your bar for comedy?
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Are there any what year was this?
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: Twenty ten?
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: There has to be like emails like you have to
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: have my god, I should what if?
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: Oh we haven't even thought?
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: What if?
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: I'm sure they're there?
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: At least they run Warner Brothers.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: It's David Allison's Could you were mad?
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: That is? I'm not that like?
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: And I had a Mine wasn't super crazy, but like
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: when I moved here, I moved from Atlanta. I was
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: working at a restaurant.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: The bartender was like, Hey, at this other restaurant I
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: used to work at one of the other guys there
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: is moving to LA You guys should live together. We
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: met for ten minutes and went okay, and then we
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: just got in a car and drove across the county.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: So it's like, that's great, he's still one of my
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: good friends. But like we weren't like hey, and also
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: we need to put a family.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yours is a much more normal situation.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: Were you like, were there was there a curfew?
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: Well, there was no curfew. I avoided them almost at
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: all costs.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that there was really an expectation of
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: me being kind of part of the situation though. Yeah, yeah,
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: because I think they were like they found it like
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: off putting that I was like, I'm you know, I'm
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: renting a room, right, yeah, I don't want to be
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: the uncle full house or whatever. So God blasts, I guess.
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: The only Yeah, the only other thing I remember is
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: they had a massive framed poster of the band crazy
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: Town autographed. So there were some red flags, I mean
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: obviously from the very beginning, and then it was just
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: red flag, red flag, red flag and worked out perfectly,
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: that is.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, Like and then and then you moved in by yourself.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, I obviously after a situation like yeah yeah yeah
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: yeah yeah yeah Wow. So I found something that was like,
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: thank god, something slightly I mean almost the same costs
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: obviously have much smaller, less fun space. Well fund's not
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: the word, but uh so I never had a roommate again.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Did they ever invite you to stuff? No?
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: But they were kind of like I think they at
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: least retired like rave culture or something like.
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: This, or real party type.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Who they seemed like with like they're the sort of
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: person that you would run into who's a promoter, right,
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: you know where you're like, oh yeah, do anything right?
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah?
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: And there was there was just like they were both
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: very tan. There was something about them that was like
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: what was happening to you in the nineties interview process barely.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: I remember talking to one of them still in Utah
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: on my cell phone in a Walmart, just like figuring
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: it out.
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: I man, this is because here's the thing, is like
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: that part of the story is.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: Like magnificent. That sounds exactly like what should be happening.
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: It's just like I spoke to strangers that have a
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: Walmart in Utah and I ended up living with them.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: That part I'm all for. The part that gets me
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: is like a now meet family.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: So also like, are they on the other side telling
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: their friends we once lived with a man we met
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: from Utah. We let a drifter into our house.
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: And no, because I'm assuming you didn't put up the
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: ad being like any families want to take it a
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: cool guy looking.
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: To kill somebody?
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Like what when you Okay, I'll ask more questions later.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: This is great. I don't want to waste your time.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: This is that is Yeah, that's a fun one.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: It was a big swing.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thank god it works out because I could have. Also,
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: like the fact that I found another place is like,
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised I didn't just move back to Utah. Yes,
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: what are you talking?
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like, oh, only people in l A are weird families.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it just speaks to have strong.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Of a person. I mean again, like the muscles man.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: You know you want to you don't want to talk
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: about it, but I want to talk about listener.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: You have no idea the things he said to me
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: off my right.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but you do what you gotta do for
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: your friends.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: Well, is there anything left to say about the screwdriver?
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited about this, go under my sink, yes, like.
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: Literally all all I can say that. The only new
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: thing I can say about it is that just don't
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: don't take it for granted because people start losing bits.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, of course this thing's almost worse exactly, but
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: don't do that. I have a question for you, as
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: a handy person. My water bottle is now screwed too
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: tight and I can't even like I'll put it between
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: my legs and try to unscrew it. How am I
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: going to get this thing open?
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, So there's there's a few things you could do.
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: I like, I'm assuming you don't have a vice, which, right,
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: there's what's called a strap wrench, or you could also
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: just use like a leather belt. But what you want
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: to do is put that around, Okay, make it tight.
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: There's enough friction usually that you can, just as long
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: as you're holding it with something that also has friction,
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: right kind of.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well I own one of those things.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. It's the same thing they use
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: for oil filters in your car. You can't get them
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: off a leather belt strap wrench version if you don't
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: have rise what does a strap wrench look like it.
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: Literally it's it looks like a handle and then looks
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: like a long like a rubber belt attached.
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: To it holding the dog catcher.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Us.
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, and then you pull that, you pull the
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: rubber strap through it, and you get enough tension on it,
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: and then you just start the other way.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: Wow, this is great to know. This is very good
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: information that God be recorded. Conversation is worthless.
• 57:28

• 59:18
  Speaker 4: a gift. And the reason I say it's as a
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: gift is because anyone in particular that service not just
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: like restaurants. People talk to you because you know, the
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: server talks to you because they want a bigger tip.
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: There's kind of no, there's no endgame for a mail
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: carrier to want to talk to you other than like
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: they are nice and kind and because of that, they
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: want to reciprocate your niceness and kindness. And they always
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: make sure not only are your packages on time, but
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: they hide them for you, especially if you got porch pirates.
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: So I say, I say, it's a gift.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: Correct gift.
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, I can't say anything else. I mean that
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: this would be the podcast. No, I love it. I
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: first of all, I love to see the male carrier
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: because I feel like we're on such opposite schedules. It
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: almost feels like seeing a unicorn or something.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 5: Here's the person.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: They never talked to me, which you know, I think
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: I just have a deeply off putting personality. Nobody who
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: does any type of service wants anything to do with
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: me or a conversation. So the idea of someone even
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: like answering how are you doing? Melts my home. Also,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: like these good I'm sure they're full of gossip. They
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: know the neighborhood. These people really are on the ground
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: snooping on your neighbors. They're seeing their male ask them
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: about your neighbors into it.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: I you know, I'm in a very I'm in a
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: precarious situation. I'm in a very, very suburban area where
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: like the talk about a gift of a curse is
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: that like because of where I am.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: It's a beautiful place. But I'm also.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: And you know me, so this is gonna sound crazy.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: I'm also the most dangerous person on my street. So
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: like people like see me walking the dogs, They're like, there,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: he is the bad boy.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: In Los Angeles.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: So I want I whereas I want to ask that gossip.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid again I get back into my Tarantino situation.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: It's like, oh no, everyone hates you, and I'm like, okay, okay,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 4: thank you.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: I'm throwing a lot of away, a lot of hate man,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: trying to protect you. All right, Okay, You've gotten one
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: right so far. This next is from a list next
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: one is from a listener named Addie. Gift to a
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: curse baby up in this bitch car stickers.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Oh man, I I'm going full curse. And I love
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: babies and I love children, but I don't think babies
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: and children can be cool in the ways that adults
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: project coolness onto them, Like you know, when you see
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: like a baby like in like Warby Parkers, yeah exactly,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: or like you know, uh, like a Nike jog or
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: tech sweatsuit, you're like, what is like that? No kids
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: should be wearing that, you know what I mean?
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: And so like when you do when you do a
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: license or not a licenseate like a bumper stick or
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: whatever like that, that still reads to me as you
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: projecting that like this is either a a cool kid
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: or that you think you're so cool about your I
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: don't know, Hondai Sonata that like it's just like so
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: like I I also I also think I'm just very
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: anti a thing on your car that is not we
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: are Charlie Kirk.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: I think you have that. I think you have.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: That's your one.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's just me. But we know that correct.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: Of course, I used to even be against the like
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: baby uh in car whatever, and then I realized that
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: those are kind of like they actually have a purpose
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: where it's for emergency.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 5: Things or whatever.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: At some point I thought people are just like bragging
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: about carrying a baby around.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: That is a cynical. Take. Look at this, Look at
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: this idiot just bragging that they have a baby, it's
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: like so funny to me.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: No, it's a real thing, but yeah, this is Naola, Like, no,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: you're not cool. You made the dorky choice to be
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: a parent.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: Oh you're a nerd exactly.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: And now your child is going to be a bigger
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: nerd because you're trying to be cool, right, exactly. Your
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: child is not into prints. Your child doesn't love David Bowie.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: They're three years old.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: Like the idea of like a three year old listening
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: to Darling Nikki being like, oh why.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: This is ziggy starts alright, They're like they want to
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: eat candy, use the bathroom all themselves, and then to sleep.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: And listen to the most irritating music you can possibly imagine.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: Anyone who knows a child knows that they want to
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: listen to the worst music ever creates just a series
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: of like bells like xilophone.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: Yes exactly, that's yeah, I uh that like baby up
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: in the sticker is the same reason why they do
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: like Minivan commercials.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: But like the song they use is like ride and DIRB,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: which is like it drives me. I'm like stop.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: Insecurity showing there is so embarrassing.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: And it's also like by the way minivans, great cars,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: excellent cars, all wheel drive, tons of space, save made.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: The earnest decision to have a family.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 5: Good for you.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: That's okay, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: Or buy a Yukon and be that person. But anyway,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: I digress.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: All right, you've gotten two right so far. This final
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: one is from a listener named Brandon Gift your a
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: curse showers with only half a shower door.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is that.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: It's crazy that would even come as anything other than
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: a curse.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: I mean it sincerely.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: Like I, you know, you before the world fell apart,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: You're every once in a while, you're like, I have
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: X amount of money in my account and I have
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: to go on a trip. I'm gonna splurge a little bit,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: and you go to one of these hotels. The most
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: notorious one is the W Hotel. I had seen it.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: This is so pitiful.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: By the way, I only knew what the W Hotel
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 4: was because I had seen an episode of Curb Your
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: Enthusiasm where they like do an event at the W Hotel,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: and so I was like, going to like Dallas, by
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: the way, and I was like, same hotel. It's got
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: to be the same hotel. I go, I I sincerely
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: mean it. I think not only is it maybe the
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: wildest imposition you can put on a guest, but I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: also I'm like, what is what's the money play here? Like,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: is there is getting a second pane of glass destroying
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: the profitability of this hotel?
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: The floor is soaked, you get like it.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: It becomes that it goes from I'm taking a shower
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: to now my entire bathroom is taking a shower.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: It drives me crazy. Curse, curse, curse for me, curse.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: You win the game, You win the game, you get
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: all through.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: These are a course, And there's a chance I may
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: have talked about this on this podcast before, but I
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: feel like, you know, like people like gen X or
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: whatever got a lot of shit for the the sinks
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: that are essentially a punch bowl on top.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 5: Of a cabinet.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: I think, millennials, we've created this half shower door. This
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: is our you know, the thing that we would just
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: have to live with, the curse we put on the earth,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: an absolutely worthless invention. Yeah yeah, Like you understand for
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: about three seconds, oh, it's supposed to look cool, and
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: then you realize, like, well, this is supposed to be
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: a practical thing.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: I'm doing exactly.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: This is so, this is just now leading to all
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: sorts of problems. For so it looks a little bit
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: more like an apple store.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 5: I don't care.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: Give me a door, give me a curtain at least.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 4: And I'm also like, and you know, uh, far be
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: it from me, But I'm like, if I'm a woman,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: the last thing I want to do is be in
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: a hotel room by myself in some strange city and
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: be like, oh, I wonder how much access someone could
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: have to me.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like it feels it feels
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: like a genuinely there might as well not be any
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: glass sincerely, because it's not doing the thing that anywhere.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: I want to see a remake of Psycho with the
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: half shower door.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: He walked and he's like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: You're always supposed to see a sillabuette.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: You did it again? Normal?
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: I And speaking of the no shower door, when we
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: were living in New York, we lived we had a
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: sublet in Williamsburg for like a month and it was
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: like a very nice like the owner had really like
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: done it up to look nice. She had elected to
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: have literally no shower door. She's like, I'm gonna have
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: the most minimalist bathroom alive. She literally had a mop
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: in there because it doesn't work like the water is all.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, And then you would so it was like, okay,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: I just I just showered. Now I'm gonna mop.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, literally, because the whole bathroom's the shower.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, wait, sorry, is this like a floppy restaurant that
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: was up one of those big stinky would be so fun.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: Needless to say, she was terrible, right right, and we
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: hate her that we wished that. Okay, well you won
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: the game. Will you help me answer a listener question?
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: All right, but this is oh people. I should mention
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: people are writing in too. I said, no gifts at
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: gmail dot com, or they're sending voice notes. Those have
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: to be under sixty seconds. Do what you need to
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: do with your computer or your phone. I don't care. Okay,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: this is hybridg you're an esteemed guess that's nice. About
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: a year ago, a friend of mine was invited to
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: a wedding that was called off a week beforehand. It
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: was called off too late to get a refund, so
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: they're still in debt from the first wedding. They never
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: returned to their gifts. This year, the same couple has
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: reconciled and is planning a destination wedding. The couple is
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: acting like the first wedding plan never happened. She had
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: another bachelorette party, they redid their engagement photos, et cetera.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: I know people go to second weddings all the time,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: but not usually and it's the same people. What do
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: you think is the gift obligation here? Does my friend
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: need to get another gift?
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 5: Thanks?
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: Love the pod? Okay, butter me up am alike. This
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: is the worst couple that's ever lived.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: I mean it sincerely. Luigi Manzilo should be free and
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: he should be able to he gets one more and
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: it's this couple allegedly allegedly he that is And I like,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: there's too much and I'm gonna maybe this is I don't.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: I don't consider it a controversial take.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: I think we live in a post wedding I don't
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: think we should allow or have to celebrate the pomp
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: in circumstance of weddings anymore. I think where like, look,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: there's no like cattle involved. Like the fact that like
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 4: you can watch any TV show that's ever been made
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: on your phone to me negates the fact that, like
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: weddings are cool, you know what I mean, it's just
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: not yes. So first of all, that on its own
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: is like its own island. Secondly, the idea that this couple,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: like I don't even like it when like people argue
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 4: in front of me and then I see them next
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: time and like things are fine.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: The idea that like they split up literally everyone knows,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: everyone got an email we broke up.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: That is because there's there's also the thing when people
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: break up like or split whatever, like one, you're gonna
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: end up talking bad about one of them at some
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: point for at least a small like there's the window.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: And then when they get back together, it's like, Okay,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: I really hope you don't.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: Hey, just hey, just make sure you don't say the
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: thing that I said that was because you were mad.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: I actually don't really have So you're dealing with that.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: And then this idea that like you would even hopefully.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: They're being presumptuous and thinking that this couple wants gifts,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: but like if if they're asking for.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: Also a destination. Now the escalation, so that is demonic
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: to begin with the destination wedding is too much, yes,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: exactly to have this second try, you.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: Have to work to break these people up. Yeah, you
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: have like this is like a Hangover sequel or something
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: where it's like, now we have to break up the
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: couple or something. You have a ticking clock. You should
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: not be Do not ask me to have a destination wedding.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not using my vacation money on your part your
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: essentially birthday party.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: But in like, sorry, keep going.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: Sorry, no, I mean that's I just it's that that
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: is the most presumptuous thing you could possibly do is say, okay,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: now everyone, we're going to like a perfectly fine vacation
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: spot and most of it will be spent in weird
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: social situations.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's like, hey, where's the place you've never
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: wanted to go. That's where we're going. And guess what,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: you will have zero time to yourself.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: Cool?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: What then? What's the plus? Is? Like you get to
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: watch people talk to each other like that.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, you have to take time off of work.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: That's fun, man.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: I that is that is a listener If you're listening
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: I know you are. I would say, not only do
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: not feel obligated to get a gift, I think you
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 4: should go full like Jared leto suicide Squad, like mail
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: them like dead animals and be like I'm a crazy
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: joker guy, really really like really be bad about.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 5: And you don't want to go to this thing anyway?
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: That's because okay, but and then here's and I'll leave you.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: But like I'm kicking you under the table. But what
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: what world? Like what I guess, like how unaware are you? That?
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: Like you're like the second time to the first person
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: is a destination way, but that is it's like literally
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: it's it kind of making me anxious, Like I'm like,
• 1:13:19
