  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: your presences presents enough.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I already had too much stuff, So how do you

  Speaker 2: dare to surbey me?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm pretter wineger. My
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: hair is still a little damp, but it'll probably dry
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: out throughout the episode, so you feel that, you'll feel
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: it as my hair gets drier and drier and starts
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: to poof. If that's how I'm starting, what could I
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: have to offer? Last night? It was you know, it's
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: just me begging the TV to show me something. Last
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: night I watched Adopted Too. This is the sequel I
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: assume to Adopted. I haven't seen Adopted, and I really
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: haven't seen Adopted Too. But it was about an evil
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: little boy who is adopted and things don't turn out
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: well for the family the adopted boy. Let's just be honest.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Adoption is evil, adopted people are evil. It's all obviously evil,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: and thanks to tub we now know. I haven't seen
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Adopted one though, so I can't speak to it. I
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: also watched Hag. I watched Hag the twob of Original.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: That's about a woman named Mag who is a hag
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and she I didn't watch much of that either, but
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I think she kills her gay friend. That's my life.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I've skipped through too to be Originals and been mad
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: at my TV. So that's essentially where we are. Do
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: we need to talk about any business? I should remind
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: you we have YouTube. We have YouTube at home. We're
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: on YouTube. Tell your favorite tween YouTube. Somebody's created a
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: like a subreddit for the podcast, and that seems to
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: be thriving, which is nice. People are buzzing around Reddit.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I was so against Reddit for such a long time,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: but it seems like it's the last place on the internet.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Ah Patreon, patreon dot com, slash I said, no gifts
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the best value online. So get over there, support the podcast,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: do whatever you want. I want to get into the
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: podcast because I mean, I just today's guest. He's nominated
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: for an Emmy. He's been nominated for an Emmy twice.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: The truth is everybody loves him. It's Michael Yury. Michael.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to I said, Nokia.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Oh what a pleasure. I'm so happy to be back.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry that I giggled.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I have nothing to share about.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: My life, but your too, be habits.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I have nothing but to be in my life.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: It really sounds like not to jump in to the
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: to be of it all. But Hag One and adopted
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: to feel like they might be the same.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: They must be in the same universe. There's definitely in
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the same level of quality. I'll say that, do we.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Think the family and adopted one is the same same
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: family or same child?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Interesting, I would say that the the hag is probably
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the babysitter in Adopted One. I bet she's circling the block.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: It's a spin off, yes, spin off.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Right, mag is in her car. She's waiting for the
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: little boy to kill his first family and then she'll
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: probably she probably takes him to the It's called Sid's
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Mental Institute. I think something like that is where it's
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: a little boy in Sid's something like that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: That's your dream, Sid. One day, I want to have
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: a mental institution named for.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Myself, Cherry's Mental Institution. Come on down. It's something like that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: It's like, why is there just a first name Larry's
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Mental Institution?
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: But that's Ronson and Sons.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Plumb Company. Not a great mental institution.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I'll say, well, oh no, that's that's too bad, so
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: you don't recommend it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I would not send my evil child to this one
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: because he's going to get out. It's gonna be a bloodbath.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Oh he escaped.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: He escapes pretty easily, I'll be honest.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, it goes back to his adopted family. That's what's
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: adopted one is about.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I think that family's dead.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I think he finds a new family. Oh, do you
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: want to find out what happens with the I don't
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: want to spoil it because I know you're going to
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: watch it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I don't think I don't think I will.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: There's a chance we're going to get an adopt up
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: to three because he almost immediately after killing his new family,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: finds a new Fanily.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, so it's the same kid kids, And they gotta
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: they got to shoot these quickly because that kid that
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: actually getting older.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: So they probably have shot like six of them already, just.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Holding them until the time is right, until the public
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: begs for more.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: It sounds great Toob's pumping them out. I looked through
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the tub Originals last night. Weirdly didn't see Adopted one.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I just saw Adopted two.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: There, So Adopted one is on Apple.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: It's a huge shift in quality, major budget slash.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: It's on Apple and Chris Pratt's in it, and it's
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: like it's like a I spent like ten million.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: It's a very thoughtful piece about the adoption process, and
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Adopted two goes full bar. But I'm really recommending to
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: be to people at this point. And this is not
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: paid to advertising, it's just their there's a lot of trash. Yeah,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: incredible amount of trash. Because I think Lifetime became kind
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: of self aware. Uh huh, Right to Be doesn't feel
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: quite as aware.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: To Be is the new Lifetime.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah it might be. Wow, new Lifetime Hallmark and good documentaries,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: oh genuinely.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Actually actually good documentaries on to Be and it's to be?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Don't they have Little Toby too? To Be?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: It's like to be. I can't do it. I don't
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: have the range of the range for two.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: It's a it's a female voice, I believe, and it
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: goes up to be to be, well.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: It's either to be or as I hear, not to be.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I feel like, wow, I think you might be the
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: first person to get to that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: That's my understanding of how that works. It's either to
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: be or adversely not to be on the other side
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: of it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: And then there's movie. Oh, there's movie.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Movie is a thing I haven't been saying to be wrong.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: It's also movie.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure there's something called movie.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: And on movie they they play movies.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I think so. I think they play probably strictly movies.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I think movie might be a little bit more a platform,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: a little more in control of its content. But I
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: could be wrong.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: In control like they have, they have like technique, like style,
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: and maybe like the categories are to be. It's almost
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: like it sounds like I could make a movie and
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: put it on to be myself possibly.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I think we're getting close to that.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: You can upload it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's got a it's got a little bit
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: of something for everybody.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Oh that sounds great.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I feel like you have a richer, faller life than me.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: What have you been doing? That's not true at all,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: That's simply absolutely.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: That's not true at all. In fact, I'm wearing pants
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: that I bought with you.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Wait, when when did you buy paints?
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: When we buy? When do we go pants shop?
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: You and Jimmy and me were in your neighborhood. We
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: had breakfast, and we were wandering around and we happened
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: upon a very cute, little secondhand clothing shop and I
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: got these definitely female pants. Oh good for you, but
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: I wear them all the time.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: They're so cozy.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: And here let's see these these Oh those are great.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Those are really fantastic. Wait, I'm trying to think of
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: was it a leader of the pack? Was it a
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: that sounds familiar?
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: I don't remember. I just remember it was little Literally
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: the pack sounds kind of familiar.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Where did we had breakfast at Bells? Yes? This is
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: lining up Bells.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes, that's right.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: And then we walked down, we wandered around the neighborhood
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: and we went into this place and I saw these.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: That sounds right, little girls shoot pants. This takes me
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: back to about like two thousand and six. I would
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: buy women's pants at like I don't know, American Eagle
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: or something they were like, because at the time it
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: was kind of almost impossible to buy a men's pant
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: that wasn't huge.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Uhha, right, because of the style right men.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Needed, right, that's what.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: That was.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: The pants strong enough for a man. But I think
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I would go to like American Eagle and buy like
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: boot cut women's jeans. I guess that's fantastic.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Why are men's pants so big? Then?
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Do you think that men needed big pants so that
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: the illusion of how big their penis was was was.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Oh interesting, it was a bigger curtain.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I can really hide things.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Nine pants because well why else would I.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm like, we're like, like, let's find the
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: tiniest pants we can.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Well, as a small person, it's just I've I just
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: feel like I've been living in a giant world my
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: entire life. Oh wow, and so and then there was
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: a small period when men's clothes kind of were fitted
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: through like the mid to late thousands and ten ye
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: scenes and then we're back to a boxier stuff.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: I know now people like a big old pant.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And for me it's still I'm a little I know.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: It's like I fought so hard for things to fit.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: I know, I know I've been I've been on the
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: elliptical for years just to spit into my girl pants.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Now people are like, nah, it doesn't matter. Your likes
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: could be as big as you want.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: It can just be enormous pants.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, here, put on these these balloons.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Right, And I just don't feel like that's me.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: No, I don't really either.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: But but I will say I get very few compliments
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: on these brands, almost none, and it does not determin
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: me because they're so cozy. I look right, they're so
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: they like st they're kind of stretchy, and they're hot.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: They're high water whatever you call it.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't realize it's like a high water or
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: like a men's caprice.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're cut offs. I mean, so somebody cut them
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: at at some point, but I've just rolled them up.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, so you were kind of forced to Otherwise that would.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: Be Otherwise they would be misshapen and they would be
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: like not long enough or too long.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: And so I mean I'm obsessed with them.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I would say, there are a little crossroads like Britney
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Spears crossroads. It's a great look.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: Thank you now. So that's enough compliments for me to
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: keep wearing it forever. But then sometimes I'll wear big pants,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: not that I buy, but that people put me in
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: for right acting things, and I get all the compliments
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: because that's what's in.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Right now interesting, But then it's going to be out
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: and everyone's going to be embarrassed.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, it's gonna be like, what were you thinking wearing
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: a big, drapy double breasted suit unfastened?
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: It's a trap.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: It is a trap because I remember when double breasted
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: suits used to be popular, and then when they were
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: the dumbest thing we could possibly look at.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy that like we like?
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: I remember also the hairstyles of now, even the hairstyle
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: I'm sporting, which has a little bit of like, way
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: more hair looks great? Thank you again, I'm with these compliments,
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: but like so much hair in the back, and there
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: was a period I feel like that was minutes ago
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: where men with hair in the back of their head
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: was the most disgusting thing, And now it's hot, it
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: looks great, everyone loves it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I've said for a long time that when the clothes
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: you wore in middle school come back into style, you
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: should get to die. I think it's just like, Okay,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: now I've completed the cycle onto the grave. But unfortunately,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I think you probably see that cycle probably six times
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: through a life. Gosh right, I mean, cruel, endless, tough experience.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: We just have to keep wagging up every damn day.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: It's a very beautiful day today though, been nice weather.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: It has because we had a couple of like like
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: a June gloom.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: That's all I want. You don't want the June gloe.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: You like the gloom because in La once we get
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: out of June gloom, we're into August through November.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Hell, oh that's fair.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: It's brutal.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: But I love the sun like this because I I
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: grew up in Texas where it's humid. Oh right, so
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: the air is hot, and there's something about California that
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: the sun is hot.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, but if you.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Go in the shade, it's no longer hot.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: That is a miracle. It's like a miracle. And I
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: realized that's simple. It's just simple science. But like in
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Texas where it's humid, in New York, where I most
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: of the time, where it's humid, like it doesn't matter
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: where the sun is. You walk out that door, out
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: of the air conditioning, and you are drenched and sweat immediately.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was because I was in New York in
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: April or maybe no, yeah, April, and I kind of
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: expected that the trick of New York where you're like, oh,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: this is the most beautiful place in the world. Why
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: wouldn't I live here?
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: But instead it was extremely hot and then extremely cold.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: So it was probably bad for a vacation, but it
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: was also good for me to be like, oh, yeah,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: this is a large part of the year here.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you were there for both.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I was there. Over the course of a week. It
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: went from like ninety degrees to forty degrees and there
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: was essentially no in between.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: That's a problem. Yeah, but it's like it was mom
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Dommie's fault.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I believe everything. This guy's out of control. Let's get
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Eric Adams back in the office.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: He balanced the budget, but look at the weather.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, but so you you basically did not tell me
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: what you've been up to other than buying pants with me.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: You were trying to make me feel better about my life,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: saying Bridger, you're shopping, You're going to breakfast. That was
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: months ago.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: That was months ago, one morning, one day a year.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: I go out, what else have I been doing? Let's see,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: we are shooting this is the fourth season of Shrinking.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: So that's television program and it's really really fun.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: It's going really well, and I'm really enjoying being here
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: in California. I spent the fall in New York. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: was in Oh Mary, that's right, and ritured the Second
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: by Shakespeare and it was awesome, and New York was awesome.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: New York on the autumn is really lovely.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: And then I enjoyed the winter it gets and we
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: did have one this year, which was nice.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: To defend the winter. You can't say that and then
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: just move on. What about winter? You like it or
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: you tolerated?
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Interesting? Good question.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: Well, I like the snow, Like when it's snows, it's
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: really beautiful, and like there's nothing like seeing Central Park
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: covered in snow doing a picture, but you can. But
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: then there is day three, day four of the snow
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: where it becomes like slushy, grosslthy, having to leap over.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: But I'll say something that And this is also like
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: because I'm I loved being in the theater.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: I love doing theater.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: And in New York there's a thing that happens with
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: New Yorkers are just so tough, like it doesn't matter
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: if it's boring rain, a blizzard, horrible heat, they will
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: keep their plans right. And this is something that I like,
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: what I love about New York in the winter is
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: that it doesn't matter. I mean, a blizzard, maybe maybe
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: that'll shut the city down, But it doesn't matter. If
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: there's slush, if there's snow, if there's rain, if there's
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: horrible heat, people are gonna go and they're.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: Gonna show up at the theater.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Right every time, every time it's like a horrible weather day,
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: and I think, oh gosh, I hope we have an
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: audience tonight.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: They show up. And I think that's so the resiliency
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: of a New Yorker.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Right, the commitment, yeah, which I appreciate, and I kind
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: of want out of everyone but myself. I want I
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: want the option to be able to cancel, fake out
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: at last minute. Yeah, that's fair, which is a nice
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: thing about LA. Although I anytime I cancel on somebody,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the apologizing I do is overwhelming, and then I realize
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: no one here cares, No one cares. Essentially expected that
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: you're probably going to cancel day.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Of I think LA people are relieved when you cancel.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, of course, everyone's like, oh, thank god they
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: canceled so I didn't have to.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really just chicken just waiting, pushing it as
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: far as humanly possible. I'm thinking about something tonight i'd
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: like to cancel and I don't even have to leave
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: my house for it.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Oh wow, what is it watching to be? To cancel
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: with yourself? Watching to I'm hoping to be? Will cancel
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: on me? First, you're a low point.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: You're really hoping for not to be tonight. But there's
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: nothing I mean.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: In New York, if you're like out and about and
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: somebody canceled, it can be like a drag.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: You're like, oh, well, I came all the way downtown,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: I do this.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Packed about. Yeah, I like planned for my day. But
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: in LA, You're right, there is something about like and
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: because the excuses are generally like not weather related.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Here, no, never.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: There, It's like I know when I go in that,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: but people do, they don't care. They're like, let's go,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: let's get out there, let's do it. I don't know.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: I've lived in New York since I was nineteen years
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: old wild and which was in the nineteen hundred and
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: now I have this great life where I don't have
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: to spend all my time there, and I think it's
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: made me love it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Way more having the option to not be there.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Because I'm here half the year with this awesome gig,
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: and I get to visit New York and like, on
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: my last trip to New York a couple of weeks ago,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: I saw six shows in three days.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: This is another thing to me. If I see one
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: show in a quarter, I'm like, oh, I'm tired. Wow,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: what an attention span I have.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I saw three shows in one day?
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: And what shows did you say?
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I saw Schmiga Dune two pm. Terrific.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: I've heard It's wonderful.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: It was great.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: And I made sure I was sitting on the aisle,
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: and I knew that I could zip out very quickly
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: as soon as the curtain I'm ready for the curtain
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: call to be over. And as soon as the curtain
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: call was over, I zipped out. I had texted my
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: friends in the show, I'm not coming to say hello
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: because I am zipping out. I have to go right downtown.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: So I zipped out right by. I was really close
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: to the train, hopped right on the train, went downtown
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: and I saw, can I be Frank?
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Oh? Who is this?
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: It's about Frank.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Maya, Okay, the comedian from the eighties, and this this
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: this guy Morgan put together this incredible show about Frank
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Maya where he does some of the Frank Maya Frank
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: ditabdes and he does some of Frank's material and then
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: most but mostly it's Morgan's musings on the world and
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: Frank then and what we are lacking in the Frank
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: we don't have now. It's Oh, it was so good
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: at the Soho Playhouse, which is a really cool, really
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: cool space and directed by Sam Pinkleton.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, he's everywhere. He's everywhere and has directed
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: one hundred things in the last like two years.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: I know he's he's earned it. He's very good. I
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: know him because I did.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: I did a solo play many years ago called Bayern
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Cellar that was written by Jonathan Tolan's and in it,
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: I had to do a little dance that plays about
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: the basement mall that Barbara strikes in.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yeah, her male familiar.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: And to play chronicles this actor that gets hired to
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: run the shops okay, And what he doesn't realize until
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: she walks in is that it's a play acting.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: It's like an acting job.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Oh shot, I love this.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: It's so brilliant. This show is absolutely brilliant. She comes
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: down to shop and none of that's real. I mean,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: the mall is real.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Can if we talk about the mall for just a second.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: We could talk about the mall all, I could talk
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: about the mall.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: What do you know about the mall? Actually, I don't
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: want to get off of and we need to circle
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: back to all of this. But you can't bring up
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: the ma all without let's get some facts about the mall.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: What I know about the mall is and what anyone
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: can access is her book My Passion for Design, which
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: is a coffee table book that came out I want
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: to say in twenty eleven.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: She stole the title from me.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: You were going to wreck that book.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I didn't have any idea. I just loved the title,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: so I'll get around for design.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: She has said that she was supposed to make a
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: movie and it fell apart, so instead she made a book,
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: and the book chronicles her renovations of the Malibu Compound,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: which is a giant house and then another couple of houses.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: And one of the houses is a barn. Looks like
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: a barn is a barn, but is a house. And
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: in the basement of this house, that's a barn. She
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: has built a street of shops, so it's like cobblestone wow,
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: and it's different shops like a like a European arcade.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: There's an antiques store, a gift shoppy, and a sweet
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: shop where there is a frozen yogurt machine, a dress
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: shop where all of her like like collective. It's it's
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: where she keeps her collectibles essentially, so there's she has
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: a doll collection. She has I think the doll shop
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: is called B's Doll Shop, and they're name you know,
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: there's like and you can see all these pictures. They
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: are all available online or you can get the book
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: My Passion for Design, which when it came out was
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: like six thousand dollars and now you can get on
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Amazon for like ten. But I have a copy of it,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: of course, and we use it in the in the play.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: The play is very uh for legal reasons.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: It's very clear that like this is real and what
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: you're about to see is not sight.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: So John is a genius and like the way that
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: he sets it up is just it's it's it's so
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: fantastic and it's one of these things that like he
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: asked me to read the script and I read it
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: and I was like, this is really good. And I
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: asked my partner Ryan, you know lovely Ryan, I was like, well,
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: you just look at this, just like take a look
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: and tell me if you think this is something that
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: I should do. And we were on I'll never forget,
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: we were on a plane. I handed in the script
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: and he looked at it, and about one minute later
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: he said, I already think you should do this.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: It was that yeah, it was that good, like it
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: could be a movie at some point.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Well, wouldn't it be funny if it was a movie.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: And she played of course.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Barbara, who I'm sure in the play kills someone. That's
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: why you have to make it clear.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Yes, in the place she kills her adopted family, but
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: we make clear.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: At the beginning that that's not that's not.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Sure shopping this to Tuvias adopted three.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: So there's this amazing sequence in the play where he's
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: working in bees doll shop dusting. He's like, spends a
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: few days there alone, and then finally she shows up
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: and there's a ding at the door and she walks
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: and he's like, what do I do now?
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: And she goes she looks at him and she says,
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: you have nice things here, and he realizes, ohere we're
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: making believe and the play goes on from there and
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: it's just so so wonderful and like, of course we
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: have we poke fun at her in the play, but
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: it's actually quite loving and very respectful, and there's nothing
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: in it. He doesn't put anything in it that you
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: know that she hasn't said in the press or whatever like,
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: so there's nothing that's like false or it's just it's
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: just a made up fantasia.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: A celebration of Barbara and her.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Mall, yes, exactly.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: How do you get access? I guess you just had
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: to be friends with her?
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Well? And then I have, of course, because because I
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: ran the show.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: I did the show. It was a big hit in
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: New York. We did it first forever. I've done it
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: six hundred times or more, and we did it off
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: Broadway for a long time, and a lot of people came,
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: a lot of like fame and people and people who
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: like and there was like one time somebody stopped me
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: and they were like, I was one of Barbara's assistants
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: and this is so accurate, or or somebody who was
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: like how did he know?
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Like, did he work there?
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: It?
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: So it's like John just channeled something so accurately Jane.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I think it's okay if I say this.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: Jane Fonda came to the show twice, okay, And she
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: came backstage and she was like the first thing she
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: said to me.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Was I've been in that mall.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: I was trapped there for six weeks.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: And I was like oh, and she goes, do you
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: think Barbara would like this?
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: And I was like, I don't. I don't know.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: You tell me and she goes, I don't think she would.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: I was like, well, it's not it's not.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Really for her. It's more about her, Like we we
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: love her very much. We don't want any we don't want,
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: don't have anything I get. We love her, love her,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: that's why we're doing this. But she was, she was
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: very she she came twice and she brought a dog.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Oh. I've seen her with.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Her dog front the dog and it's cute.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: You can't say no to Jane Fonda's dog.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: It's change. Let it just a legend.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: And don't think Barbara would like it? Oh yeah, Barbara's
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: got a sense of humor. She's got a mall.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if the mall is a
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: joke to her, though I think it's really just a
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: place to I can't think of another. I guess Graceland
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: or never Land, like like I'm trying to think, like
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: what places have stars not just done something eccentric, right,
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: but then also photographed it and.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Public shown off as though it was a normal.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right, like like it's it's a step above, it's
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: it's not just architectural digestread.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: This is a whole book.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: There's a whole book chronicling the entire renovation, and like
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: the whole property, and there's a there's a great because
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: it's supposed to be. It's giving, like the whole the
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: whole thing is giving. And and I don't this is
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: not my opinion. I learned this from the play in
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: John Tolms. But it's giving Connecticut. It' very, it's very
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: there's a barn and there's like a farm. It's like
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: a farmhouse and in Malibu, and there's there's a great
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: scene in the play where he's like, no, this is
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: not your run of the mill barn. Barbara doesn't do
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: run of the mill anything, although she does in fact
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: run a mill. And then I opened the book and
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: there's a giant mill. There is a mill. There's a
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: mill on the property.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Is it milling anything?
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: Well, there's a there's a I guess it's in a pond, right,
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: It's like it's like, yes, in a pond. And and
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: the pond that is described to how it's a koi pond,
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: and she there's a great section of the book photographs
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: of the coypon it. It's like in the the captions
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: are all in her voice, right, so you can read
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: the whole thing in her voice. It's really delightful. I
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: used to do it for people after the show backstage.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: It was like it was like my like my late show.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: I would be like, read my favorite parts of the book.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: And one of them is this section with the koi pond,
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: where she's it's a beautiful photo of this beautiful photography
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: is great. The photography.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: She got this great photographer to do it named Barbara
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: streisand does all the principal photography. And there's a beautiful
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: photo of the pond with the koi in it, and
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: they're all black and white koi and she's like, see
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: my cooi. They're all black and white. A little yellow
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: was okay, No orange, she would that's a.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Rule for everyone. If you have the orange ones, it's
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: a Tacki restaurant. No orange, it's a minture golf course.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Gosh, I love her. It's fun to talk about. I
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: haven't thought about her in a while.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: And you've never met her. Nope, that's pretty amazing. I
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: feel like you've met a lot of Barber streisand level.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: I've met Barbara adjacent people, but not Barbara. I think
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: they're keeping.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: Me from her. I think it's a keeping yeah, protecting her,
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: which you know, I mean, she's let her. I don't
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: need them.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: I have my She's very special to me for a
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: lot of lots of reasons. My mom and I used
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: to watch this concert that she her big comeback concert
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: from the early nineties. We used to watch it was
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: one of the things that we bonded. So I love
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: her like I'm happy with her where she is.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: But the whole point of that was that Pinkleton so
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: in it.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: At the time, It's well documented that she was considering
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: doing a film of the musical Gypsy, and so that
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: becomes a part of the story of the play, and
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: I the character that the main character. I play all
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: the characters, but the main character is Alex the actor,
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: and he had played Gypsy in high school or something,
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: had played Herbie in Gypsy and high school. And so
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: they like, there's a scene where they kind of do
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: it together. I like rehearsed together, and there was a
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: little bit of a dance. Oh, choreograph came in and
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: choreographed it.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: That was when I first met.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: It was so great and lovely, and it made me
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: feel so because I was like really nervous about the dancing, right,
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: I'm not really a dancer, and dancing alone, Oh.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: That seems terrifying when you don't have anybody to distract.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Like it's one thing to like like partner with
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: a person.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Of course, or have a whole team of backup dancers.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: But to do it by yourself and have to play
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: both parts was really challenging. So he came along and yeah, wow.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: That's incredible, And so that is that kind of what
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: led to Omary.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know. Actually, Omary kind of came out
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: of the blue for me. When they asked me to
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: do Omary, I couldn't believe it. I was.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: I was actually the night before they asked me to
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: do it. I was at dinner with Ryan and we
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: were just talking about it. It was shortly after the
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: Tony's Cole had won the Tony and it was so
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: cool and was a big hit and we were just like,
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: isn't it cool that it exists? And isn't it and
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: we loved it. We saw it off Broadway and we
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: saw it on Broadway. We loved it so much, and
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: we're like, isn't it cool that it's a thing and
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: it exists and now it's a hit and it's getting audience.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Is not just like this camp cult thing.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: It's like a real it's a real.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Like a miracle it does it kind of especially now, yeah.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: Totally, and and it's still running. It just they just
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: got a new Marry last night. Make Stalter is Merry
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: now and Maya Runolf just finished like a huge, huge
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: success doing it and it's it's a good play, Like
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: I stand by that, like this is a good play.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: It's not just funny, Oh my god. Really think it's
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: really smart.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, and the ways that it plays with its audience
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: is so ingenious and so yeah, we were just talking
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: about it and we were like, wouldn't it be fun
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: to be in at something? And I had sort of
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: resigned myself that I wouldn't ever be in it sure
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: because I'm not quite enough.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know why.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: To Mary, I of course don't agree with whatever you're son.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: And I was like, maybe I could be you know,
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Mary's husband at some point. And then they came and
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: they asked me to play Mary's teacher and I was like, oh, yeah,
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: Mary's teacher.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: I didn't even think about it.
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: It's like it was a real treat and it's like
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: such a good part and such a good play and
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: I could do it. Jinx Monsoon and command Nanjianni and
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: Jen Harris played Mary's chaperone, and Tony Mock, who was
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: the original Mary's Husband's assistant I think is what his
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: name is. And uh, it was. It was totally dreaming
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: getting to work with Jinks Monsoon. Oh my gosh, she
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: she's so funny.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: She's so funny and so alive on stage. Like it's
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: like it was this. It felt like working with Sutton.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: Foster or Patti both of them. I mean, it was
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: it was that exciting. They're like when you're on stage
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: with like a star that just doesn't even like need lighting,
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like they're just so electric
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: and so vibrant and and so alive. And all three
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: of them, actually, I would say all three of those
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: those women that I've I've been in plays with at
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: some point were so present that I messed up and
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: they helped.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: Me, you know what I mean, Like, like that's how
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: like alive they are on stage? It was it was awesome.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Do you have a dream casting for Mary?
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Ooh you know that's a really good Martin short?
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Oh my god?
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: How crazy? Would that be?
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable that we would knock down walls to see that?
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Of course, like the like you know, the bad answer
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: is like miss Piggy, which is which was a cold
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: said if there was ever a movie, who will play Mary?
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: They said?
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: They said miss Piggy, which is brilliant and would be amazing.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: I think it's like obviously like that's.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: Limited without legs, But wouldn't that be wouldn't that be amazing? Match?
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Well, I think there's something else we should talk about.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: It's been kind of just in the periphery here, and
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: I know you've been trying to avoid the topic and
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: push away from an obvious mistake you made coming into
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: the podcast.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: I just feel weird coming empty ended. I would feel
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: weird about that.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Well, you were on the show before and you brought
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: something and it was a huge explosion between us, kind
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: of a rift for years. I had to take you
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: out to an apology or you had to take me
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: out to an apology breakfast excuse.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: Me, which was nice and I got a pair of
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: pants out of there.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was again kind of self interest always
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: leads the way with Michael Yury. You brought a gift.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Should we open it here on the show?
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: I think it's I think we want as well. I mean,
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: at least clear the air, okay, I like you to
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: see what it is for a good or badge. I
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: went to some trouble to, you know, gorgeously wrap thank you,
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: thank you.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: I went to a lot of trouble to wrap it.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: And I think the color is nice and.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: The bow has already fallen off. So your little job.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: I just when I saw it, I thought of you immediately.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: I don't know why, but it made me think of
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: you immediately.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: It's a little big I hope you have a place
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: for it.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: I would say it's about two feet by.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: No, it's large by four maybe four.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: This is we're two men with no special reasoning skills, butts,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: it's like a two by it's life size guessing sizes.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: This is what people like, let's say two by eighteen. Okay,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: don't ask.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: It seems like it's getting bigger as you hold it.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Large, flat, flat pink, kind of a plastic pink for us.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: Right open it, rip into it. Let's see what you got.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen the front yet, but it appears to
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: be some I'm gonna guess this is some sort of painting.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: It's a it's a canvas. You you can kind of
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: see from the back that it's a canvas. Oh, and
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: it is revealed see it, see you guys in the
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: same fame.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: It's a painting. It's you. It's you, Bridger.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: I saw it and I said, that's you.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Where did this come from?
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: This?
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: I should describe to our non tween listener, this is
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: a painting of essentially me.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: It's you. It's it's a it's a victory.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: And maybe maybe like ginger twink.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: With glasses and it's it's just it just I don't
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: know who else it could be.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: This look, this is striking.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: It has to be Bridger Wyneger fan fiction in painting form.
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: I just I don't know how.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know how well.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: I'm dying for you to get a suit like this,
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: oh my, and and I want there to be a
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: photo shoot.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: With you and with these little glasses. I don't you know.
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: I saw it in Palm Springs at a consignment store
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: and it wouldn't stop staring at me, and I had to.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: I had to get it for you. I've been holding
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: it hoping you would invite me back on the podcast
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: so that I can bring it for you.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Just occasional text hinting. It looks like somebody painted me
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: as like someone's mean accountant husband, like in uh like
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: yeah gilded age.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you were like, that will ever work? We don't
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: have that money.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: I've been looking at the books all day, honey.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: It says here it was. There's a name on it.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: It says Mike Michaels ninety one, which is also weird.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I must someone someone with the last name Michaels.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: I know that that probably also selfishly drew me to it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: You saw that first, this is your first time saying
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: the right name.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I guess somebody. It's also an audacious signature.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a fit. I like this sort of signature.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: It's just we're just writing your name.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: This is my name. This is my painting I made that.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: I was like, how it goes on the side, like
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: you don't you can't quite frame it. Oh, the canvas
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: is like wrapped around.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: That's this is a wrapped canvas like that. This is
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, an original as far as we can tell.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is definitely that Michael's. Michael's touched it.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: What store did you get it at? In Palm Spring?
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: I got it at Let's see where can we put
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: the estate sale?
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: And Palm Springs there's a lot of consign yes, and
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: then we love a consignment shop, and which I as
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: far as I know, means like you're not. It's like
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: they there's an owner, and then the shop is like
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: selling it for that owner.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Oh why didn't I've never really put any thought into
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: the word consignment.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: I think that's what consignment means.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: Because we tried to buy something from a cut assignment
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: shop and then we got cold feet and tried to get.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Out of it. And they were like, well, we already
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: told the owner. And I was like, oh, I see here.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: So we're disappointing a lot of people if we don't
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: buy this thing, not this something else. But uh, it's
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: called estate sale and it's in Pump Springs.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: There's a couple of them. There's one called a state sale,
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: there's one called Misty's and they've got you know, it's
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: basically like when someone moves on from this mortal coil.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: There furniture can be sold. Sometimes it's donated, and and
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: you know, in the desert, in the in the Pump
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: Springs and the other desert cities, a lot of people
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: moving on.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Apparently that's where you go to die.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: So there's a lot of great stuff.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: There is a lot of good stuff out there.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: A lot of people can show up there. They have
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: nice stuff. They spend a lifetime collecting it, and then
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: when they go, they you know, the kids.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Say, if we don't want any of this chunk.
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: Let's see what we can get for it, and they
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: sell it at consignment and this place a state sale.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: It was on a wall and unbelievable. I know, I'm
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: so happy at talking I hope everyone likes it at
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: home or here at the studio.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: It feels like it might be an we'll see if
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: we can figure out a way to have it here
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: at the studio, possibly just to make the guests even
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: more uncomfortable with whatever's going on.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: I would be so honored if this stayed here as
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: part of the studio and every guest had to look
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: at it and acknowledge it, and you had to talk
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: about me every episode.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Oh that's true. This is oh so Ultimately, this is
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: just a publicity scam.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: This is yes, this is I'm playing I'm playing two
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: dimensional chests with this, with this one.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: This is how you stay in the convent.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: This isn't a one laugh gift. This is a recurring laugh.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: This is going to we have this painting of Io here,
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: and it's going to overshadow Io because people are always
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: like is that Io? Now? People are can be so
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: distracted from They're gonna be like is that you? And
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: I'll say, yes, it's from somebody I can't remember.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: But the name is right there. How can you forget
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: the name?
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: It's Michaels, Michaels something. What was the thing you were
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: going to buy?
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: Then?
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: Got cold feet about it was a table.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: It was a big, very expensive table, and we did
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: get out of it.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, how did you like? What were you penalized?
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: We had to we had to work off a credit.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Well I wasn't aware of this trap.
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah they were. We we had a credit. Actually,
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: I think we still have.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: No.
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: No, we finally did, actually because then when I got this,
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: we were outside the credit.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, Oh this is this was almost like an escape
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: from a curse. The only way to break the curse
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: is to buy it enchanted painting.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: If we didn't buy this, you might never be free.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: Oh interesting, I feel like this, or you would always
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: be part.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Of me was trapped in the consignments. Yes, in chains,
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: I'm finally free. Fal maybe something good will happen.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: That's so.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: I sometimes feel that way because I go to a
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: lot of shops like that, like revivals in the Desert
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: are great. Or in New York we have housing works.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, or the Cure what's that what it's called in
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: the East Village. There's a room store that's really great
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: there that I go to anytime I'm there.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: We gotta go.
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that sounds amazing, or or hear this out of
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: the out of the box, you know those out of
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: the out of the closet, thank you?
• 42:52

  Speaker 5: Oh the history, all the history of out of the
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: closet just like thrown out the door box of the God.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: That's humiliating. But those places, I love them. Those places
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: are great.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: And I love going through the record collection. I collect vinyl.
• 43:18

• 43:22
  Speaker 4: to Vinyl every day.
• 43:24

• 43:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know this, but it's like you. No, I

• 43:42
  Speaker 4: You know his music for sure.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: But you posted to Instagram that you wore out the
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: cassette tape as a child.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, which is incredible.
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: I love Herb Alpert, love this music.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: I have so many of his records on vinyl.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: He plays the trumpet, okay, and he also a and
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: P records. I'm sorry, an R Records. He's the A
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: of an R Records, So like he's a he's a
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: very wealthy man. But he like was responsible for a lot.
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: He's responsible for Sergio Mendez. Like he sort of produced
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: he didn't you know, I mean he didn't make he
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: didn't teach the trumpet, but yeah, he sort of like
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: made that a whole wow thing and the whole possibility.
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: And he had great relationships with the Carpenters and Burt Bacharack.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: And he's ninety one years old, Bridger, and he's still wow.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: He still blows good for And he came like dancing
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: on at the Hollywood Bowl the other night, and he
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: was and he sounds great. And he has a new combo.
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's the same Tijuana brass guys, but
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: he's got this new group of people and it's just,
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, the most perfect Hollywood Bowl.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Knight who introduced you to him as a child, you.
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: Know, it was probably good question.
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: My parents probably had the tape, okay, it seemed, and
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: my parents had records, They had some Herb Alpert records.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: It was a big deal. Like people especially you know
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: in the sixties and seventies. I think it was. It
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: was because it's great like dinner music, right, there's no
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: there's no.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Put on some light jazzy music in the background.
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for party, party music or dinner music. So I
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: think a lot of people had the records. And there's
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: some I read some statistics that the one year he
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: sold more records than the Beatles or something like that. Oh,
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: and I think, uh so, I think I think he
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: was the soundtrack of a lot of people's lives. And
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: you will you would know if you like put on
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: Herb Alpert. It's like, oh yeah, I've heard that a
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: lot of stuff. Get there's this great song called Rise
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: that I think was post Tijuana Brass. It was just
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: Herb Alpert. But it gets sampled all the time.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Oh interesting, Can you think of an example of being sampled?
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: No, I'm sorry yet, but I know it happened. Okay.
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: And then the tape that I wore out might have
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: been a tape of movie music or it might have
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: been like a James Bond.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Oh that makes sense.
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: Because that particular song which he did play the other
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: night that I posted a video of was Casino Royale. Okay,
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: which was a James Bond movie, but like a parody
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: James Bond movie.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: I've tried figuring. I've never seen the movie, but I
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: feel like I've read about that at some point and
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: it was like, wait, I know what wasn't who was like,
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: especially considering now how protective people are of like I
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: and whatever, I know, what was this thing?
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure it was, and I should know since
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: I love the song so much, but I think it
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: was like I never saw it, but I think it
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: was a movie that came out in the you know,
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: the the golden era of James Bond, the Roger Moore,
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: Sean Connery era. They was there was another James Bond
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: movie that was a comedy and instead of it being
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: like Shirley Bassey singing Thunderball, it was herb Albert. Yeah,
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: and it's just an awesome song. And then I didn't
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: know this until I posted this on Instagram, But apparently
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: a lot of people know that music because there's a
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: hilarious Will Forte sketch on SNL where he plays a
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: coach and they're like there, it's halftime of a basketball
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: game and they're like down by fifty points and he's like,
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: my coach once played this song for me and I'm
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: gonna play it for you now. And he pulls out
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: a tape and he puts it in and it's Herb
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: Alpert and he just dances and it's so funny. I'd
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: never seen it, and all these people were messaging me.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: On Instagram about it.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: So I love him, Herb. I love her and I
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: love collecting.
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: How many records do you think you have?
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: Well, I have limited. My I don't have that many.
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: I have two collections. I have because I have here
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: and in New York, New York, we have more room,
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: so I have more, probably, I don't know, definitely more
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: than a hundred. I keep it limited, but I will
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: buy because sometimes you can get a record, like at
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: a revivals or at a housing works, like.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: A great record for a dollar Oh so cheap.
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: It's crazy, and it's like this will give me hours
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: of joy.
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a nice way of looking at it.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: And sometimes I buy. I have some records in both cities.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's actually a good idea.
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because I love them so much and I see them.
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: You know, if there's a Bear listen, if there's a
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: Barry MANI Low record.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: I mean you don't have the dombake that you're getting
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: every Barry man record.
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: And it's a dollar. I'm not going to leave.
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: First of all, I'm not going to leave a Barry
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: Manilow record with a dollar price tag on it. I'm
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: taking it just so no one else sees it and thinks,
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: why is that only a dollar?
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: Because they're protecting Barry.
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: I'm protecting the brand, and I will not lee. I
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: did this with Liza Manelli. There was Eliza Minelli at
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: Carnegie Hall record for a dollar and housing works, and
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: I said, that is that will not do.
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: I will not leave. Liza deserves better than to be
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: on sale for one dollar, and I will not leave this.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: There's some poor, impressionable team that could have used that
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: record you've robbed.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: You've robbed them that, It's true.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: But they wouldn't have known how to do it.
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: They wouldn't have understood why it's so important, why the
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: Carnegie Hall album is so important.
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: Because she just kicked the drugs.
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: So when she sings Cabaret and she says I'm not
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: going down like Elsie, it meant.
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: Something, you know, that one that's a really good album.
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: Oh my god.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna buy it, but I can't find
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: an affordable copy.
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: So I have three.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: I'll leend you.
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: I'll lend you my spare record player, and I actually
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: have a spare I have a.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: Traveler Oh to keep it in your suitcase.
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a traveler record player that I that's
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: in my trailer at Shrinking right now.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: I have one in New York too.
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: That's amazing, No, I know, And this is a pretty
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: new thing for me because when the pandemic hit, Ryan
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: and I were, you know, quarantined as we all were,
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: and we were in New York, so we were like
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: quarantine in our little box. We didn't have outdoor space
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: or anything like that, and we were listening to music
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: all day every day and it just became like so
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: background because we just put on, you know, a playlist
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: and it would just keep playing and we didn't have
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: to monitor it or anything like that. And I was
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: and one day I said, should we start a record collection?
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: And it was the quickest Ryan and I ever agreed
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: on anything.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: Really. Yeah.
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: Immediately He's like, yes, we should, we should. And then
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: because of supply chain, it took forever for us to
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: get our record player we ordered it, nothing was open
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: and it took forever. That was really sad.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the supply chain thing was really weird, dream about
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: having an object, so like that'll be a year from now.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: But then it did finally come.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: Our record, our first record player did finally come and
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: we started ordering you know, records, and then that summer,
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: the summer of twenty twenty, we you know, quarantined and
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: then drove to see our families and rated the old
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: record collections. Oh that's so cool, So my parents, you
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: rated my parents' old record collection, Ryan's moms and Ryan's
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: stepmom's collections.
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: So we have a lot of really good stuff.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: And your music tastes lines up enough that it's really
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: never an issue.
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, me and Ryan, we have a lot of
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: Barry man Low that he doesn't listen to as much
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: as I tell sure.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: And then a lot of Madonna that I listened.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: Too far less okay, interesting.
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, I love Madonna, right, but it's not you know,
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: it's not my it's just not my jam.
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: The way it is, they line up with the sort
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: of listening you're usually doing, which is more for like
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: an elderly person.
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: I have the music taste of the people who's furniture's
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: in consignments.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Who do you think is like the most current musician
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: or band that you listened to?
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay, Harry Styles.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's correct. I really like Harry Styles.
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's probably that's new. He has a new album
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: that's great, which I really like. I went to his concert.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: I wasn't a fan.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: Until I went to his concert.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: Oh interesting.
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was invited to go because I knew someone
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: in the uh in the opener.
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: Oh and oh my god.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: It's probably a big show.
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: Oh my god. It was like it was crazy.
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: It was at Madison Square Garden and we watched from
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: a box actually above and he was just that album
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: that I think I already kind of knew that album
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: because Ryan had gotten it.
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: But that second album, his second album.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: More not the newest one, but them.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah. One has the like music for a sushi restaurant
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: and it's called but it is.
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: It is so amazing, And this concert was just it
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: was It was Madison Square Garden was like literally shaking.
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure I can't imagine the sound alone.
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: And to be kind of above it with a bird's
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: eye view was like and I had just this is
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: a random I had just been there like a week
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: earlier for Billy Joel. Oh wow, to see Billy Joel
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: in one of his last concerts at the in his
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: residency mats. Remember he did one a month for years.
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: I saw it a couple of times, but the last
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: time I saw it it was I was like, oh,
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: I've never seen a concert this crazy before, this raucous.
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: And then a week later.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: Harry said, sorry, Billy, no one cares.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: Harryes that hold my cosmo or whatever. Harry styles drinks.
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: But what it's what was really special that night was
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: like they went nuts. But the song that the audience
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: went the craziest for was you don't Know You're beautiful.
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: Oh it's a one direction song.
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, of course.
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: That makes you beautiful? And it was I was so
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: moved because it's like all these girls, all these like
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: teenage girls, and that song is so sweet. It's such
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: a sweet and that's that's our anthem. It's an anthem. Yeah, totally,
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: it's an anthem for everybody. Yeah, so I think, yeah,
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: that's probably the one that's say. Oh you know who else?
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: I really like Brandy Carlisle, Okay, really.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: Into her anytime I hear Brandy Carlisle, I feel like
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: it's somebody from the seventies.
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's totally got that five.
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's why, right right, that makes sense to me.
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: And you know, Harry Styles now is giving you know,
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: that kind of performance is not unlike you know my
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: man alone.
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: Oh he's very He's our next barrier in the seven
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: of You know, there'll be people watching him in Vegas
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: in forty years. No kind of thing.

• 55:18
  Speaker 3: This sort of thing to me, this the Herb at
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: ninety one is like I got ripped off genetically because
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: I couldn't do it now, you know what I mean.
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, well, I just really got ripped off.
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: But you got to think like with her, like thinking
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: about Herb Albert and Barry Metelo, which I do a lot,
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: I believe you kind of figure like that exercise of
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: blowing through a trumpet or singing, you know, like a
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: ninety minute concert two hundred and fifty times a year.
• 55:47

  Speaker 3: of things.
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you could actually use the previous gift to measure Wow.
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: Interesting that we had kind of a measurement topic.
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, last time I got you a measuring tape
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: from Ikea. But I was just because I was inspired
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: by Paul really rip I know, the best, the absolute
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: best his documentary since we last spoke.
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: It came out good, so good, yeah, really beautiful.
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: Wasn't that thing just yeah? So moving and so haunting.
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and heartbreaking and just I mean the way it ends.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: Just listener, if you haven't seen the Paul Rubins documentary,
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: what are you watching to be adopted? Well, of course,
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: but after that.
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: But also like it's really special because it's sad, of course,
• 59:39
  Speaker 5: and they shot it when he was still alive, and
• 59:41
  Speaker 5: now he's not alive, and that he kept his sickness
• 59:47
  Speaker 5: his almost a secret was like so heartbreaking. Yes, but
• 59:50
  Speaker 5: I when I found most heartbreaking about it was to
• 59:53
  Speaker 5: see that he and I felt this when he was
• 59:56
  Speaker 5: on your podcast.
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: He's still so, he was still so mercurial and hambish.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: And oh it's so he's so funny and such just
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: like a pain, you know what I mean, in like
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: a perfect way.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, this like little little gnat that you can't possibly control.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: And there he is being brilliant. You see it in
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: his eyes. There's that that genius is still still there.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: It's like the part of pee Wee that like the
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: rude pee wee, Like, oh it's incredible.
• 1:00:27

  Speaker 3: Oh Amy, that's the two le version.
• 1:01:23

  Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's good Lincoln's brother's wife.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 5: Oh Mary, uh in o Mary, the role of o
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 5: Mary's teacher. I get to reprise that for two weeks
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 5: with the Great Cola Scola, and we're going to be
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 5: filming it for HBO, which is like just like so dreamy,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 5: and it's a crazy honor to have been asked out
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 5: of all of the amazing actors who have played Mary's teacher.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: So I'll be heading to do that.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: That's so, I mean, the HBO part is so exciting
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: the amount of attempts I've tried to boot like the
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: show because I want to watch it again. Oh there's
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: a whole I can't find it anywhere on live Tim
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: like interesting because I'm not in New York, I can't
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: see every version of the show. It's like, I just
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: want to see it again. Thank god it's going to
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: be I haven't seen it since I don't know, February
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: of twenty.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm still doing it.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, it's I'm so excited. I'm honored. And I
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 5: still can't really believe it. I can't believe. I can't
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: believe Shrinking is letting me go do it. I can't
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 5: believe they wanted me. And I can't believe I get
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 5: to be part of memorializing it forever like there, it
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 5: will be the archive forever for anyone Tony any time.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 5: And and I think about, I mean, I think about
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: how important watching theater on screens was for me before
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 5: I had access to the theater. And I think about
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 5: like the kids all of the country that are going
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 5: to see this and see something that that is possible
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 5: for them. And so that's that's pretty awesome and pretty exciting.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: Do you like to watch bootlegs?
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: This is like I'm not you know, I'm not a
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: huge theater person. I wasn't really I had really not
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: experienced any theater until Jim and I started dating, but
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: O Mary was the first thing where I was like,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: I just love it so much, I want to just
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: have a copy of it. And Jim introduced me to
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: the whole world of uh, slime tutorials. Are you familiar?
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: Okay, so this is what I was gonna ask, because
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 5: there's a is it called slime tutorial?
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: That's yeah, you like on YouTube. You type in like
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: the name of the show and Broadway. I'm sorry, but
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: it's happening you and then you type in slime tutorial.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: And there will frequently be bootlegs. But Oh Mary has
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: done a very good job of that not.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: Happened keeping it out.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: So that's good I mean for.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: Oh Mary, not good for me the home viewer. Good
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: for a home box office HBO.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: I feel like, like a bootleg of a show that's
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: no longer available, is I feel like, ethically I'm okay
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: with watching a bootleg of Oh, I don't know, say,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 5: when Bernadette Peters.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: Was in Hello Dolly. Preservation and that's that's preservation. That's
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: like the ancient texts.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: Yes, because you know, Lincoln Center Library makes archival recordings
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: of a lot of shows right that aren't released, that
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 5: are not released, but you can go to the library
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: and plead your case to watch it, which is basically
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 5: just like I'm anationing for it, and I you know,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: you can see sort of I'm working on it. I'm
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 5: working on it in a scene class or I'm under
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 5: saper and they'll let you watch it, but you have
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: to sit there and watch it. So you know, that's
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: probably they probably have Omry there. Okay, they probably have
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: Bette Midler and Hello Dolly there, But Bernadette Peters and
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 5: Hello Dolly isn't at the Lincoln Center Archives. So where
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 5: else will I get that? Yes, I saw it twice
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 5: when she did it, But what if I need.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: To watch it?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: Guess Mary will need to for my heart.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: But I did not know this slime tutorial and we
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: might be in trouble for even saying it with the
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: bootleg community.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: But I think I've talked about it on this podcast before.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: Okay, fine, then then it's on you.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest. I think it's a I think it's
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: kind of failing it. It's failed me, So what can
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: you say?
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: Well, I wonder if there's a bigger crackdown on shows
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: that are still running. Oh, probably because they don't. They
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: want to like drive people to right. So I don't know,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 5: and who knows when they'll release this? Oh, Mary, you
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: know they released Hamilton the Pro Shot as they call
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 5: it Hamilton while the show's still running.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: So it's still running, right, and it doesn't seem to
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: have hurt.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: I think it feels like a just an ad for
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: the to go see the show.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 5: Basically, yeah, go see another group of people. Do it right,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: and here's this group, and go see another group of people.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's play it.

  Speaker 3: just begging a podcast for answers. So, Deer Bridger and
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: Lovely Guest, I have a gift conundrum. I'd love your
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: help with. My daughter is nearly two, and it's around
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: this time that all her friends are also having birthdays.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 3: She is with all kinds of the same age at
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: her daycare and from our mommy and me classes. Okay,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: get we get invites to all the birthday parties, and
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: I like going because there's nothing better than a party
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: that goes from nine am to noon. Okay. My daughter
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: also gets extra time with her friends, which is adorable. Okay, whatever,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: what's the problem anyway? Do I have to get all
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: these kids gifts. I usually just bring them pastries or cookies.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: Since I'm a baker at Proof in Atwater Village. Have
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: you been to Proof No delicious bakery h with an
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: interesting I think a very unionized bakery anyway, so that's
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: an easy lift. But they always seem like kind of
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: a cop out when I see a table full of
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: beautifully wrapped gifts the party, What do I do? There
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: are like a thousand kids and I'm not made of cash.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: With love Lauren also, ps, please come to prove It
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: would be a pleasure to hear your thoughts on the bakes. Okay,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: well you'll see me around, Lauren. I'm going to demand
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: the best.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: It could be that, Okay.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: So basically Lauren's problem or Lauren whatever, la U r
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: e N don't It's not my problem. The daughters to
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: all of the rich la children are having these fabulous
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: parties and demanding gifts. Parents are expecting gifts. Lauren is
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: working at one of our best bakeries and bringing baked
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: goods and she feels bad about it.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: Well, gosh, I don't think she should feel bad about
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: that at all.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: Should she be bringing expensive gifts to every toddler in
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: the Inland Empire.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. I don't think.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 5: I think what she is doing is far more interesting
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 5: and original than some high dollar trinket that the kid
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 5: will play with for a minute.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: Right, and it's is it? Is she bringing enough for
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: the whole class? Like? Is it? Like?
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: Is he bringing like a plate of cookies that she
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: baked at her fabulous at water. I think, I think.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 5: I think she's honestly, I think she's exactly right.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: Well, you disagree.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: I feel like Lauren's making a huge mistake here. She's
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: got these, all of these networking opportunities. She should be
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: looking at this as a networking opportunity, and she needs
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: to show up her best. She's got a she should
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: be bringing a Look, everybody's in debt. Why can't Lauren
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: be for giving away gifts? To Lauren, you're doing the
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: wrong thing. Keep the bakery. You're being a cheap skate.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: You should show up with a gift that's minimum one
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: hundred dollars and that's minimum. People are talking about her,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: They're saying, I'm sure the cookies are good, but I
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: could have gotten bought these myself, you know. Well, God,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: I feel like she's flopped. I'm sure her two year
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: olds are so embarrassed. Mom, you just stay in the car.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 5: So you said you're saying gifts. You say gifts, I
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 5: said gifts.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: I said gifts for two year olds. I think it's
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: important that a two year old get an expensive gift. Yes, gifts, Yeah, okay.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: That's fair.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: But you know, as someone who has a two year
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 5: old on TV, I think that the I think the cookies,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 5: cookies and pastries, you know, like a bear claw, I
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 5: think they would be welcomed and and and what what
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 5: what a unique and.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: You made this? How we thank you, Lauren. The kids Lauren,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: missus one have made this?
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: Lauren, missus Lauren she made these.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 4: These are these are fresh?
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 5: Everyone try, but of course it is la So I
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 5: don't know, those kids might all be like, oh.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: Boy, and all of these things. You've got to consider.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: I've started bringing I'm trying to make it a goal
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: of baking cookies to take to parties instead of just
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: grabbing some boring drink. To really people go crazy. You
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: bring a nice, well made cookie to a party, you're
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: the talk of the town. Wow's having a great time
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: with them.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 5: How often have you brought a bottle of wine and
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 5: you it just gets put away and as you leave, you're.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: Like, there it is there, should just grab it. The
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: next party you take cookies, you know, it's let's be honest,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: I'm allowed, Laurence. What kind of cookies do you make?
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 4: Chocolate chip, sea.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: Salt, sea salt, sometimes with walnuts. I mean, they're phenomenal
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: and people love them. But only I can do that.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: Lauren's stealing my thing. I think that's ultimately my problem.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: They're phenomenal.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: My cooking.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 5: Do you see these Instagram videos where people are like,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 5: all you need is is like peanut butter and one
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 5: one cocoa, one scoop of cocoa powder and a wish
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 5: and it's a brownie and it's like this is just protein.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, that looks like a brownie and they
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 5: say it tastes like a brownie. How is that protein?
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: This was happening for a while that it was really
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: recommending the same thing, but essentially everything made out of eggs.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: It was like, yeah, fifteen eggs and a piece of
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: chocolate and you have this is a cake. It's like no,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: it's then you get in the you would look at
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: the comments and the people were just burning them down.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: People be like, that's chocolate scrambled eggs. I loved it
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: so much. But there's a particular group of I think
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 3: the essentially scammers telling people that that works. That doesn't work.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: It's gotta be it's gotta be false.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, peanut butter and cocoa, I could imagine. I mean,
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 3: you probably joke, but when it's like eggs and a
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: piece of chocolate, it's like, that's simply not.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 4: Do you ever cook? Do you use an air fryer?
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 5: I am no cook, but I can use an air
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 5: fryer sure, and it is at it's magic.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: What are you making in there?
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 4: I make? I've made steaks.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 5: Wow, I've made Last night I had a steak with
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 5: Brussels sprouts all made out of the in the air fryer. Wow, terrific.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 5: I've made eggs.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 4: All you did? They have?
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 5: They have these like these like these little filters that
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 5: you can put in the air fryer. And I've made eggs,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 5: like you just cracked the egg in there, and.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: What it's like a sunny side up or what is it?
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 4: It comes out sunny side up?
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 5: I guess you like spray with a little bit of
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 5: you know, avocado oil or whatever. You puts some whatever
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 5: you want on a salt, some cheese maybe, and it
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 5: comes out perfect. It's like it's it's like it's weird,
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 5: but it is like in Back to the Future Part two,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 5: the pizza, which she puts the tiny pizza in and
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 5: five seconds later it's it feels like that, Wow, you
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 5: put it in, you can't see what's happening in there,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 5: and then you pull it out and the egg is cooked.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 4: It's crazy.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 3: The egg is the easiest possible to cook. And this
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: is the one thing I can cook.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: I know, I can't cook it on.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 3: A regular head Brussels sprout.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 5: It's fantastic and it's and I'm just like it's for me.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 5: It's the cleanup, like it's the it's the mess I'm
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 5: going to make on the stove, and then it's the
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 5: mess of clean cleaning it all up.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 4: But with the airfare, it is so and I have
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 4: a little one, so it's very simple.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 3: It might be time for me to just get into it.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 5: I had to say we got one because in New York,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 5: our this is the thing that happens when you live
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 5: in an old building in New York. We didn't have
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 5: gas for two years. WHOA, I had no idea this
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 5: was even something that could happen to you.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 3: But it just stopped.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: There was a leak in the gas line.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 5: Summer cooking gas we had, we had heat, and we
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 5: had hot water, but we didn't have cooking gas for.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: Two How do they justify that?
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 5: They just they say tough shit, They say sorry, and
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 5: it's like and you know a lot of people I said,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 5: and they're like, well, don't pay your rent, Like.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: Well, it's not a rental, it's a co op. So
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: like you know, co op.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: Is Yeah, you're really committed.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 4: It's like, who do you complain to? It's it's me.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we all are part of the team.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 5: We all own this together. This is our problem. Yeah,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 5: so we get an air fier. It's back now. The
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 5: gas is back now, but we still use.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 4: The airfier because it was such a nice solution.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: Wow, Okay, well it's probably time I need to cook
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 3: something for myself on occasion.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: Ridiculous.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 5: And when you're alone, like you know, that's another thing,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 5: Like I'm alone out here because Ryan's in New York.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 5: It's really easy to make something very quickly for myself.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: Right, That's how I justify going out every single night
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: where I'm like, well I'm not going to make a
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 3: whole meal.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 4: You got Do you go to restaurants alone?
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I love it. I go to movies alone.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 4: I love going to the movies alone.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: I think people should only go to the movies alone.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 5: Well because because regardless, if you go to a movie
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 5: with another and that person's experience becomes your experience like everything.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, and I love going the moves alone, but going
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 4: to restaurants alone depending on where I am. But I
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 4: also like, I don't want people to recognize me and
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 4: be like, why does that guy from TV have no friends?
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm afraid of.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: Or you just got to own it. Yeah, No, I
• 1:26:23
