Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself
- 0:14Speaker 1: perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you
- 0:21Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no guests,
- 0:27Speaker 1: you're o presences, presents, and I already had too much stuff.
- 0:35Speaker 2: So how do you dare to surbey me?
- 0:49Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Britcher Winegar. If
- 0:54Speaker 3: you're hearing this, I made it to Burbank. You're here
- 0:56Speaker 3: with me in Burbank. We're doing in Burbank. What's going on?
- 1:04Speaker 3: Nothing has really happened. I mean, not that anything ever
- 1:07Speaker 3: happens personally for me. In the last few days. I
- 1:09Speaker 3: don't have that much. But I was on the Patreon
- 1:12Speaker 3: recently kind of. I was getting into an issue that
- 1:14Speaker 3: I feel like needs to go public, and it has
- 1:16Speaker 3: to do with sauce. Sauce should be free. People have
- 1:19Speaker 3: started charging for sauce, and I think we have to
- 1:23Speaker 3: do something about this. The first sauce, at least if
- 1:26Speaker 3: I make an order for something that has a sauce,
- 1:28Speaker 3: the first sauce should be free. I paid a dollar
- 1:32Speaker 3: for sauce the other day, a dollar. That's ridiculous. I
- 1:35Speaker 3: know things cost money, but the first sauce should be free,
- 1:39Speaker 3: so let's start spreading the word restaurants. You're on watch.
- 1:45Speaker 3: I had a dream last night. I was speaking of restaurants. Yeah,
- 1:48Speaker 3: last night I had a horrible dream where I had
- 1:50Speaker 3: to wait longer than usual at a restaurant and it
- 1:53Speaker 3: just took all night. It was agony. So that's my
- 1:58Speaker 3: life right now, sauce and dreams.
- 2:01Speaker 4: Uh.
- 2:01Speaker 3: The Patreon is flourishing. Everybody is headed over there. Join
- 2:07Speaker 3: us at patreon dot com. Slash I said, no gifts.
- 2:10Speaker 3: We just had a producer, Ellis, on an episode and
- 2:13Speaker 3: an explosive episode. Wouldn't you say, Ellis, we're never speaking again? Yeah,
- 2:18Speaker 3: it was. There was a lot of fighting. Uh, it
- 2:20Speaker 3: became physical, and the fact that we're still working together
- 2:24Speaker 3: is a miracle. But go to I think I already
- 2:27Speaker 3: said the u ur l we're having. Things are happening
- 2:30Speaker 3: over there. Things are and you're gonna find out. You're
- 2:33Speaker 3: gonna find out. So I think that's all of my business. Yeah, sure,
- 2:39Speaker 3: I think we should get into the episode. I love
- 2:42Speaker 3: today's guest. She's back. It's Lacey Mosley. Lacey, welcome back
- 2:47Speaker 3: to I said, Okay, I know you've we were just
- 2:50Speaker 3: talking about this. The last time you're on was six
- 2:51Speaker 3: years ago.
- 2:52Speaker 2: It's just and we were revert Ale and like mail
- 2:56Speaker 2: you the gift or something. Oh yeah, you can go.
- 3:00Speaker 3: And you know, the streets were like empty. It was
- 3:02Speaker 3: just like it was hot. It was it was very
- 3:05Speaker 3: deep COVID. It was like because I think it was.
- 3:09Speaker 2: I think it just started getting popping at that point.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Oh, because like three weeks in I was back to work,
- 3:14Speaker 4: so it must have been in those first three weeks.
- 3:16Speaker 3: But it was one of those times when you could
- 3:17Speaker 3: still like get places on time because the people weren't
- 3:20Speaker 3: driving as much.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Oh my god, you could get to Malibu in twenty minutes.
- 3:23Speaker 3: We did that all the time. My boyfriend and I
- 3:25Speaker 3: would just drive around and go see things in Lau
- 3:27Speaker 3: your share Like that's a like six hour trip.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Right and it's literally five miles away. And like finally
- 3:34Speaker 4: five miles felt like five.
- 3:35Speaker 3: Miles right, like a real reality was heeling.
- 3:39Speaker 2: You know. The coyotes took back over Griffith.
- 3:42Speaker 3: I just saw coyote the other day in Griffith Park.
- 3:45Speaker 2: I hid from a pack of them, a pack. Yeah.
- 3:47Speaker 4: I was in Griffith during COVID and I was hiking
- 3:49Speaker 4: or you know, doing the run or whatever. And I
- 3:52Speaker 4: started listening to a playlist and it was just getting
- 3:54Speaker 4: too good. And the next thing I know, I'm like
- 3:56Speaker 4: soaking up the sunset and I was like, oh, I'm
- 3:57Speaker 4: at the top of Griffith at the observatory and say,
- 4:00Speaker 4: I need to get.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Down before the vampires des.
- 4:03Speaker 4: Getting dark on my descent, and then I see these
- 4:05Speaker 4: like coyotes come out there, literally coyote or near coyote, dear.
- 4:08Speaker 3: We don't know, scary in their own way.
- 4:11Speaker 4: Come about the brush in his pack, and I was like,
- 4:12Speaker 4: this will be the most embarrassing death, like death by coyote.
- 4:15Speaker 5: So I just like hear big rocks, Oh my god.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Yeah, And so they passed and then I went.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Down be ripped apart by coyotes.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Painful and embarrassing.
- 4:26Speaker 4: Yeah, everybod's gonna be in my funeral, like if it
- 4:28Speaker 4: wasn't for those coyotes.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Like what she smiled and lit up a room.
- 4:33Speaker 3: I do think about that, like with an embarrassing death,
- 4:35Speaker 3: like the vibe at a funeral, like what is it?
- 4:38Speaker 3: I'm often like if I choked to death while I
- 4:40Speaker 3: was eating a chicken finger or something, what is how
- 4:43Speaker 3: are people going to be feeling.
- 4:46Speaker 4: Yea, yeah, I feel like we have to lie then
- 4:48Speaker 4: and say, yeah, I was saving orphans from a fire. Like,
- 4:51Speaker 4: don't tell anybody out I really.
- 4:54Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really a terrifying thing for me.
- 4:57Speaker 4: I uh.
- 4:58Speaker 3: When I see a coyote alone, though, my heart just aches.
- 5:02Speaker 3: I feel so sad for them. I just the one
- 5:04Speaker 3: I saw yesterday I was in Griffith Park. It's just like,
- 5:07Speaker 3: if that was like one degree something else, I probably
- 5:10Speaker 3: would try to rescue it, try to bring it into
- 5:12Speaker 3: my home. They look so hungry, and they look.
- 5:14Speaker 2: So rescue from the coyote, which would be rescuing, they.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Look so sad and pathetic. Has there ever been a
- 5:22Speaker 3: coyote that looks healthy? Is the big question. They always
- 5:25Speaker 3: look like they're scavenging.
- 5:26Speaker 2: I mean that's what they do.
- 5:27Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't spend much time looking at them because
- 5:29Speaker 4: after I looking at them and start looking at me,
- 5:30Speaker 4: and we're looking at each other.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Next thing, I know, you know, I'm a snack.
- 5:33Speaker 3: No coyote you would scare away. That's the thing about coyotes.
- 5:37Speaker 3: The only thing that should be scared of them is
- 5:39Speaker 3: smaller things, larger animals. They run away from Really. Yeah,
- 5:44Speaker 3: unless they're rabbit or something, but I don't think that
- 5:46Speaker 3: happens that often.
- 5:47Speaker 2: We didn't got back coyote.
- 5:50Speaker 3: And they're mountain lions cougars around these hills. I just
- 5:54Speaker 3: saw a video on some local news station of a
- 5:56Speaker 3: mountain lion in somebody's backyard. That would be terrifying. Yeah,
- 6:00Speaker 3: that's I mean, that's like a single shark or something.
- 6:02Speaker 4: But I mean I also love that for mountain lions
- 6:04Speaker 4: because they're like destroying capitalism. They're like, oh, you put
- 6:07Speaker 4: up this cute little fist. Maybe no one owns anything. Okay,
- 6:11Speaker 4: when you got a sland, will we buy again?
- 6:13Speaker 3: Truly, those are bears. When you see a bear like
- 6:15Speaker 3: swimming in someone's pool, yeah, good for you.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Right, that's that the bears. Let's smoke and get his swim.
- 6:20Speaker 3: One enjoy it. Okay, no one's going to stop you.
- 6:23Speaker 2: He said, only you can protect forest fires. I'm taking
- 6:25Speaker 2: a swim.
- 6:27Speaker 3: How do you, I, uh, how do you feel about
- 6:29Speaker 3: paying for sauce? Oh?
- 6:31Speaker 2: I was thinking about that as you were saying.
- 6:33Speaker 3: I need to know if I'm just losing it.
- 6:35Speaker 4: I'm so tired of being in this abusive relationship with capitalism.
- 6:38Speaker 4: Because we've gotten to a point where if we don't
- 6:41Speaker 4: organize as consumers, which we do from time to time,
- 6:44Speaker 4: but we need to organize on petty shit.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Like sauce as well.
- 6:46Speaker 4: Yes, because what's happened is like I remember when businesses
- 6:49Speaker 4: like I'm in a Chropotla used to be like, come
- 6:51Speaker 4: in a Halloween.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Cost and we'll give you a free burrito.
- 6:53Speaker 4: Now that like you want extra chicken, We got counted out,
- 6:55Speaker 4: you raggedy bitch, and this bowl of b ninety dollars.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Like what happened. We used to drive the market and
- 7:02Speaker 2: now they're.
- 7:02Speaker 4: Like people are willing to pay for anything because they're desperate,
- 7:04Speaker 4: So we're gonna charge you for everything. What do you
- 7:07Speaker 4: mean if sauce comes with the meal, how are you
- 7:09Speaker 4: gonna charge with this for the sauce extra?
- 7:10Speaker 3: If I'm getting something a chip again, a chicken finger,
- 7:14Speaker 3: the first sauce at the very least, throw one in. Yeah,
- 7:19Speaker 3: I should It shouldn't be like I shouldn't have to
- 7:20Speaker 3: put a package together for myself.
- 7:22Speaker 4: They're just trying to find another way to nickel and
- 7:24Speaker 4: diamonds to fucking hell, and if we don't stop them,
- 7:26Speaker 4: it's just gonna continue to get worse.
- 7:28Speaker 2: I mean rip to Spirit Airlines.
- 7:31Speaker 4: But it was great that Spirit Airlines made basically like
- 7:34Speaker 4: a Layoway system because it was cheaper in the beginning.
- 7:37Speaker 4: But then once you put there, they're gona go and
- 7:38Speaker 4: dime you with every fee. Okay, unless you wear in
- 7:40Speaker 4: every single article of clothing you need on your person,
- 7:42Speaker 4: they will charge you for everything.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Right.
- 7:44Speaker 4: But then unfortunately, bigger airlines that were providing luxury at
- 7:48Speaker 4: higher costs started to look over and be.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Like, oh, well, people will accept that. They'll accept anything.
- 7:53Speaker 4: That's why Delta said that flights under a certain mileage
- 7:55Speaker 4: now aren't gonna get any snacks. You ain't get no
- 7:57Speaker 4: business true snack, no domestic flights under a certain mileage.
- 8:02Speaker 4: So like an lax to SFO, you're not getting no snacks.
- 8:05Speaker 3: I'm sorry nothing eat. Yeah, yeah, I'm the amount of
- 8:08Speaker 3: money I'm already spending. They're making money. We can see
- 8:11Speaker 3: the money they're making. Give me a cracker.
- 8:15Speaker 4: I mean, if we don't stop them, eventually they're gonna
- 8:17Speaker 4: be like, oh, did you want the seatbelt package?
- 8:20Speaker 3: That's actually one. I don't care to pay for a seatbelt.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Take those out of the plane. I don't need those.
- 8:25Speaker 4: Oh no, I've seen what happens if something gets real
- 8:27Speaker 4: turbul you might flap pitchhead on the ceiling.
- 8:29Speaker 2: I want my seatbelt.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Oh hold on, hold on, no, they are alter Even
- 8:34Speaker 3: Southwest Airlines is getting into the like pay for everything
- 8:36Speaker 3: or it used to be like the one where I like,
- 8:38Speaker 3: you've got some things for free. Now they're all we're
- 8:42Speaker 3: gonna be like laying flat on top of each other.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Pretty So that's what they're going for.
- 8:46Speaker 4: Yeah, because Southwest used to be like you get in
- 8:47Speaker 4: your line and then if you get there early, you
- 8:49Speaker 4: can get in whatever seat you want. Now that you
- 8:50Speaker 4: have to pay for an assigned seat, and certain assigned
- 8:53Speaker 4: seats cost more, which I've never understood. We're all on
- 8:55Speaker 4: the same plane, and now like I fly.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Delta and I'm ready to delta.
- 9:00Speaker 4: Because we went from having you know, economy, and then
- 9:04Speaker 4: there was like economy plus with a little leg room
- 9:07Speaker 4: as long as you help people get out on the slide,
- 9:09Speaker 4: and then there was first.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Now we got like economy minus.
- 9:13Speaker 4: Like there really is is like a stars at like
- 9:14Speaker 4: economy minus, then economy then economy plus, then.
- 9:18Speaker 3: First right and maybe something in between. That is because
- 9:22Speaker 3: now there's the like business or first class. That's all
- 9:26Speaker 3: kind of muddy. Now, it's very unclear. How do you
- 9:28Speaker 3: feel about first class?
- 9:30Speaker 2: I love it and love it.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't fly it if the flight is under
- 9:35Speaker 4: three hours because it's a waste of money. It's just
- 9:37Speaker 4: a wider seed and booze. I'm not going to drink.
- 9:39Speaker 4: But if it's a cross country baby, I'm always on
- 9:42Speaker 4: a red eye from LA to New York. I sleep
- 9:44Speaker 4: on the plane, get there at JFKA at eight am
- 9:46Speaker 4: and ready to start my day. That one I can't.
- 9:49Speaker 4: I need a bed for that if it's over six hours,
- 9:51Speaker 4: babes to bed.
- 9:52Speaker 3: I think first class should be illegal.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Really.
- 9:54Speaker 3: I think unless everybody can have it, nobody should have it.
- 9:57Speaker 2: I like it, and here's why.
- 10:00Speaker 4: If people want to be a little boogier and fall
- 10:02Speaker 4: asleep on the plane, like, I think they should have
- 10:05Speaker 4: that right.
- 10:05Speaker 2: And I like that better than private jets, you know
- 10:08Speaker 2: what I mean.
- 10:08Speaker 4: So that should be experiences you can get, and then
- 10:13Speaker 4: the private jets should go except for me, because that's
- 10:15Speaker 4: my reparation. You'll not gonna get me forty acres or amo, bitch.
- 10:18Speaker 4: I should be able to put my carbon footprint out here. Okay,
- 10:21Speaker 4: I deserve.
- 10:22Speaker 3: That everyone's against private jets until they can have a
- 10:24Speaker 3: private jet.
- 10:25Speaker 4: What they need to sacrifice, y'a'll destroy the planet, Okay,
- 10:28Speaker 4: my ancestors, I think around there.
- 10:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I think private jets just that's enough, is enough,
- 10:36Speaker 3: it's ridiculous. Yeah, and first class. If we got rid
- 10:39Speaker 3: of private jets, I might be on board with first
- 10:41Speaker 3: class still existing, But right now I'm just walking past
- 10:44Speaker 3: everyone in first class, being angry at them and just wondering,
- 10:47Speaker 3: and then going back to my essentially bus seat.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Well, it used to not be such a bus.
- 10:52Speaker 3: See.
- 10:52Speaker 4: I remember as a kid, the seats that they have
- 10:55Speaker 4: on like a short domestic flight were the size of
- 10:57Speaker 4: the seats in regular economy of a person, and you
- 11:00Speaker 4: got a meal in economy and it was the size
- 11:03Speaker 4: of your body. Now that like, everybody get on ozipic
- 11:05Speaker 4: otherwise I'm not gonna make these flights, Like what.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Do you mean?
- 11:08Speaker 3: I feel like the airline industry was every industry is
- 11:11Speaker 3: now doing this, but was the first one that was like, no,
- 11:13Speaker 3: we're going to get worse rather than get better. As
- 11:15Speaker 3: an industry. Just year after a year, it's going to
- 11:18Speaker 3: feel way worse. And now truly basically we're paying for sauce.
- 11:23Speaker 3: We let airlines do it, and now we're paying for
- 11:25Speaker 3: ranch on the side.
- 11:26Speaker 4: Really should have revolted sooner. And also airlines know that
- 11:30Speaker 4: they have us in a choke hold in certain situations
- 11:32Speaker 4: because are you gonna fly to Berlin or are you
- 11:35Speaker 4: gonna what You're gonna take a ferry?
- 11:37Speaker 2: You're gonna take?
- 11:38Speaker 4: Like you can't, you can't. They're like, we got you,
- 11:41Speaker 4: bitch you going or not?
- 11:44Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no alternative. I mean, I guess maybe I
- 11:47Speaker 3: start going by boat.
- 11:48Speaker 4: I know the cruise lines should think about that instead
- 11:51Speaker 4: of just trapping us on boats.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Can I just take the boat to work?
- 11:54Speaker 4: Yes, at party, get on at my vacation boat back.
- 11:58Speaker 3: I will never get on a cruise line after what's
- 12:01Speaker 3: been happening recently. You will not find me on a cruise.
- 12:05Speaker 2: I've been on more cruises than I can count.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Reason.
- 12:07Speaker 4: My parents are cruise people. Oh and so my entire
- 12:10Speaker 4: childhood we were.
- 12:11Speaker 2: And it sounds so weird to complain about. One time
- 12:14Speaker 2: I was shooting this movie with a little wile.
- 12:15Speaker 4: I remember we were like doing something in between, and
- 12:17Speaker 4: I looked at my phone and I was like oh,
- 12:19Speaker 4: and he was like what And I was like, my
- 12:20Speaker 4: parents just booked another family cruise. And he was like,
- 12:23Speaker 4: you're upset that your family on a free boat vacation.
- 12:27Speaker 2: And I was like, you don't understand.
- 12:30Speaker 4: You haven't had to be trapped in the middle of
- 12:32Speaker 4: the Atlantic with a bunch of Trump supporters eating Guy
- 12:34Speaker 4: Fieri burgers until your ankle's fucking swell.
- 12:37Speaker 2: You don't know what I'm going through.
- 12:40Speaker 3: It's a bad vacation.
- 12:42Speaker 4: I've had good ones. There's a certain way to do
- 12:44Speaker 4: it to have a good one. And virgin cruises i've
- 12:47Speaker 4: heard are very fun because there's no kids. Can't bring
- 12:50Speaker 4: your kids, and you know, people like to have a
- 12:53Speaker 4: boat boats of sexuals and uh, they have excursions.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I just it's not for me. And now the
- 13:02Speaker 3: chance of getting haunted virus are being trapped on board
- 13:05Speaker 3: with the virus, Like what appeal is there?
- 13:08Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 13:08Speaker 4: It really just seems like the like the disease enthusiasts
- 13:12Speaker 4: love about rides.
- 13:13Speaker 3: You have messy people who don't wash their hands.
- 13:15Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just open mouthed coffers, people who don't wash
- 13:18Speaker 4: their hands.
- 13:19Speaker 2: People who don't believe in medical science.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Yes, that's really kind of part of the big audience
- 13:24Speaker 3: to me.
- 13:25Speaker 4: I'm like, look, if you want to do your own
- 13:26Speaker 4: research and you don't want to vaccinate, that is absolutely
- 13:29Speaker 4: your right in your body.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Are you a dumb ass? For sure? But let's take
- 13:33Speaker 2: it further.
- 13:34Speaker 4: If you don't believe in vaccines and you don't believe
- 13:36Speaker 4: in the things that doctors have studied, maybe never go
- 13:38Speaker 4: to the hospital because all of a sudden we all
- 13:40Speaker 4: get sick.
- 13:41Speaker 2: I don't never see none of you bitches an ambulance.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Like what y'all put in there? What is in the drip?
- 13:45Speaker 3: No, you just want to You'll take it. You'll take
- 13:47Speaker 3: whatever you can do.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Like how many scis of saline is in there?
- 13:50Speaker 4: You need to google it all read No, at that point,
- 13:52Speaker 4: you like, saved my life and then you.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Believe you don't get to use it. No. I think
- 13:57Speaker 3: permanent crews for that sort of person. I keep them
- 13:59Speaker 3: on boot keep them on boats, keep them away from land.
- 14:02Speaker 3: Let them just get each other sick for the rest
- 14:05Speaker 3: of time.
- 14:05Speaker 4: Yeah, what about an anti vaxed cruise. We'll throw on
- 14:08Speaker 4: some walking canes from we all get polio, put it.
- 14:10Speaker 3: In Iceberg territory and say goodbye. It's enough, Enough is enough? Yeah,
- 14:15Speaker 3: that is kind of a large part of that audience
- 14:17Speaker 3: is anti vax slash cruise. Interesting. I'm sure there are
- 14:21Speaker 3: plenty of wonderful people cruis.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Oh there are, and I've met so many of them.
- 14:25Speaker 3: And I'm sure many tours. It's just not for me,
- 14:29Speaker 3: and getting haunted virus unfortunately also not for me. No,
- 14:33Speaker 3: so I won't be cruising anytimes.
- 14:35Speaker 2: And I don't think they're upgrading those boats. I think
- 14:37Speaker 2: the cruises are starting to sauce the girls too.
- 14:39Speaker 4: I'm sure because people are on both talking about they
- 14:41Speaker 4: can still smell when the sewage was leaking from COVID,
- 14:44Speaker 4: I said, maybe those both need.
- 14:45Speaker 2: To be decommissioned. They need to be saying God, they
- 14:48Speaker 2: could smell the sewage in the hallways.
- 14:50Speaker 4: It was still like a lingering of like you could
- 14:52Speaker 4: tell they cleaned, but something was still. Because those people
- 14:55Speaker 4: have been trapped on those boats were so long and
- 14:56Speaker 4: poop them everywhere and stuff. You don't just get rid
- 14:58Speaker 4: of that with one shampoo of.
- 15:00Speaker 3: No, no, no. Anyone who's had a dog pee on
- 15:02Speaker 3: a rug knows it's much harder to get rid of
- 15:04Speaker 3: that smell than you would think yeah, God, no, no, no.
- 15:09Speaker 2: No, I know, but I'm with you on the sauce thing.
- 15:11Speaker 4: I think we all need to just start revolting in
- 15:13Speaker 4: very petty ways against corporations that are doing things to
- 15:16Speaker 4: Nickel and dimas right, because there's no such thing as
- 15:19Speaker 4: infinite growth, and some of y'all need to be satisfied
- 15:21Speaker 4: with the fact that we patronize your businesses consistently and
- 15:23Speaker 4: you're open.
- 15:25Speaker 3: When will they learn that infinite growth it doesn't exist.
- 15:27Speaker 3: I just don't understand when that reality will set for
- 15:30Speaker 3: some of these people. It's just like you realize there
- 15:33Speaker 3: are only so many people on the planet. Yeah, what's
- 15:36Speaker 3: the plan?
- 15:37Speaker 4: And that's why I really hope that we can all
- 15:41Speaker 4: hold strong. I know there's a ton of idiots out
- 15:43Speaker 4: there who can't make art and for some reason think
- 15:44Speaker 4: that they should be able to, and they use AI
- 15:47Speaker 4: and waste water for stupid bullshit. But I'm so tired
- 15:50Speaker 4: of that AI conversation. That's like it's happening. You either
- 15:52Speaker 4: get with it or you get lost. You know, like
- 15:55Speaker 4: how maybe that sounds like you're telling me it's happening.
- 15:57Speaker 4: I don't think it is happening. I think you're forcing
- 15:59Speaker 4: on me and I'm saying no, You're.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Like, no, it's gonna happen to you. So just saying yes, no,
- 16:03Speaker 2: you can't do it like that.
- 16:04Speaker 4: If it was happening, it will be happening and y'all
- 16:06Speaker 4: wouldn't be losing on his goddamn money. We know it's
- 16:09Speaker 4: not happening, Babe. You can't make fetch happen. Nobody wants it.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Or needs it.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Let me ask you this. I've run into something for
- 16:15Speaker 3: the first time recently that I was very conflicted morally
- 16:17Speaker 3: about a loved one sent me what I immediately knew
- 16:21Speaker 3: was an AI video and it was kind of like
- 16:22Speaker 3: it was like kind of heartwarming or whatever, and my
- 16:26Speaker 3: initial instinct was to respond, that's AI. I didn't I
- 16:31Speaker 3: don't know what to do in these situations because I'm like,
- 16:34Speaker 3: I don't want to just be this kill joy that
- 16:35Speaker 3: like somebody was a loved one is like, look at this,
- 16:38Speaker 3: this is nice, and for me to be firing back,
- 16:41Speaker 3: that's AI, you idiot. So I don't know what I do.
- 16:44Speaker 3: You just ignore this. Have you had any situations and
- 16:47Speaker 3: you say that's AI.
- 16:48Speaker 2: With family members, with friends?
- 16:49Speaker 4: I say, oh my god, you are killing black people
- 16:52Speaker 4: in Memphis. Was it worth it to make that fake
- 16:55Speaker 4: video so that youok up poison communities? You know how
- 16:58Speaker 4: much water you just wait that don't ever make nothing
- 17:01Speaker 4: like this again. It's cute though, thank you, Auntie, but
- 17:04Speaker 4: stop doing this. You are killing black people. I literally
- 17:07Speaker 4: just tell them directly.
- 17:08Speaker 3: Wow, that's healthy, that's really healthy.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't want to be like you're stupid
- 17:12Speaker 2: or anything like that.
- 17:13Speaker 4: I realize that we are in this polarized place where
- 17:15Speaker 4: we are tapped into the news.
- 17:17Speaker 3: We're very aware, absolutely.
- 17:20Speaker 2: And you know our friends are tapped into it as well.
- 17:23Speaker 4: So I also realize that people are living their lives
- 17:25Speaker 4: and they're like, oh, we got a new app, Well
- 17:26Speaker 4: we can make a video of your dad grandma doing
- 17:29Speaker 4: this thinking nig everyone's.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Gonna love this. And I'm like, I know that you
- 17:33Speaker 2: don't realize the ripercussions.
- 17:34Speaker 4: So I'm not gonna call you dumb, but I am
- 17:36Speaker 4: gonna be like, hey, stop killing them black people. And
- 17:39Speaker 4: if black people don't work, I'm like, hey, stop killing
- 17:40Speaker 4: them Mormons in Utah, Oh my god, that's white.
- 17:43Speaker 3: That's really hitting home for me. I'm from Utah watching
- 17:46Speaker 3: all these people be mad about these data centers. I'm like, well,
- 17:49Speaker 3: you voted for the people who said you that these
- 17:51Speaker 3: could be.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Built so for whiteness.
- 17:54Speaker 4: Well then and they forgot what whiteness is always Yes,
- 17:57Speaker 4: I'm like, paying attention to America.
- 17:59Speaker 2: This is what whiteness been doing.
- 18:00Speaker 3: Now you've got mister wonderful Ellen. Yeah. I mean, the
- 18:04Speaker 3: Utah situation is truly insane to me, because I don't
- 18:07Speaker 3: know if you're aware of this. If the Great Salt
- 18:08Speaker 3: Lake dries up, it's going to just basically become a
- 18:11Speaker 3: poisonous place. The air will be poisoned. Yet they're building
- 18:15Speaker 3: this datus of I mean, don't get me sorry.
- 18:17Speaker 2: I know we could go on forever.
- 18:19Speaker 3: I think eco terrorism is gonna start ticking up here.
- 18:22Speaker 3: I think people are gonna be bombing things.
- 18:24Speaker 4: But here's a fun way to look at it, though,
- 18:26Speaker 4: if we all all of us just decide that we're
- 18:30Speaker 4: not going to be here for AI and we let
- 18:32Speaker 4: this implode like the tulip bubble.
- 18:34Speaker 2: That it is bringing back old school economics.
- 18:37Speaker 4: If we let this bitch blow up. All these nasty
- 18:40Speaker 4: billionaires who did this griff and got all this money
- 18:43Speaker 4: for this, and celebrities included, why do you think you're
- 18:45Speaker 4: seeing random celebrities that you love talking about Hey, ah is.
- 18:48Speaker 2: The future and we must embrace it. No, baby, we
- 18:51Speaker 2: must not. How much did you invest getting it back?
- 18:55Speaker 2: You ain't getting it back.
- 18:56Speaker 4: So I want to see all these would lose all
- 18:58Speaker 4: of that money that they invest in this grist and damn,
- 19:01Speaker 4: I wish I would have come up with it, because
- 19:03Speaker 4: I love all of tech person selling something that people
- 19:08Speaker 4: don't need.
- 19:10Speaker 2: I love it.
- 19:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it is going to implode in some way.
- 19:13Speaker 3: We'll all kind of suffer and then hopefully, well we
- 19:16Speaker 3: won't learn our lesson, but at least it'll go away
- 19:19Speaker 3: in some way.
- 19:20Speaker 4: And I want somebody to come out and do what
- 19:22Speaker 4: Uber did, but in a grassroots way. So remember when
- 19:25Speaker 4: Uber first was established, their prices were super duper low.
- 19:28Speaker 2: You could get like a ride for like three dollars.
- 19:30Speaker 4: So that was tech bros using investor money to subject
- 19:34Speaker 4: the market and under the market and then ruin the
- 19:37Speaker 4: cab industry. And once a cab drives start killing themselves
- 19:40Speaker 4: and stuff and they ruined the industry, then they raise
- 19:42Speaker 4: their prices because they had the monopoly.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Right.
- 19:44Speaker 4: Of course, I want to see somebody grassroots do that
- 19:46Speaker 4: with car driving too. Let's just call it gas money.
- 19:49Speaker 4: And if you got money for gas, you just get
- 19:51Speaker 4: in homies car. And this is how we drive the
- 19:55Speaker 4: Uber prices down.
- 19:56Speaker 3: Uber prices are insane. Now. It's like buying a flight.
- 19:59Speaker 3: If you're going to the airport, it's like, this is
- 20:02Speaker 3: going to like at least twenty five percent of the
- 20:04Speaker 3: cost of a.
- 20:05Speaker 2: Flight, and don't check more than once. It raises the
- 20:07Speaker 2: price for you.
- 20:08Speaker 4: I didn't know this, Yes, because now they think you're desperate,
- 20:11Speaker 4: so they'll raise the price. Also, if you live in
- 20:14Speaker 4: a more affluent zip code, it raises the price for you.
- 20:17Speaker 3: Is there any way around that if you're living an
- 20:20Speaker 3: affluent zip code?
- 20:21Speaker 2: Sorry, some people have like suggested getting off of your.
- 20:23Speaker 3: Wi Fi or using a VPN or something.
- 20:26Speaker 4: Yeah, you're using a VPN, like because all of the
- 20:29Speaker 4: data and it's already consumed so much of our cookies
- 20:31Speaker 4: and information. But all of that contributes to the profile
- 20:33Speaker 4: that you have and how much money they think you have. Also,
- 20:36Speaker 4: when you're flying to the airport, depending on what airline
- 20:39Speaker 4: you're flying out of, it raises the price of your
- 20:41Speaker 4: Uber as well. So they're like, oh, you go a
- 20:43Speaker 4: delta International. Oh okay, don't raise that.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Up real good. They're like, oh you're going a spirit okay,
- 20:49Speaker 2: well a little bit less.
- 20:51Speaker 3: Like diabolical so evil. I'm going to Burbank. I will
- 20:56Speaker 3: do everything possible to get the cheapest uber or lyft.
- 20:59Speaker 3: I'm going back and forth until they've given me the
- 21:02Speaker 3: cheapest possible if I If they don't, maybe I just
- 21:04Speaker 3: won't go on the trip.
- 21:05Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna stop putting in the airline when
- 21:07Speaker 4: I and see if there's a dig interesting lax right,
- 21:12Speaker 4: and then once we're already in the ride and the
- 21:14Speaker 4: price is confirmed, because I do it to where I
- 21:17Speaker 4: pay for it before it comes.
- 21:19Speaker 3: Oh interesting, I'm always worried that that's not going to
- 21:22Speaker 3: cat change the right.
- 21:24Speaker 2: They can try to add a waiting fee, but typically never.
- 21:27Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to start just using it to take
- 21:30Speaker 3: me to like maybe four miles away, and I'll just
- 21:32Speaker 3: walk the distance. It's money saving technique.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Right.
- 21:35Speaker 4: Maybe we'll start geting picked up in a different area code.
- 21:38Speaker 4: I'm gonna walk to another zip code because I can see
- 21:40Speaker 4: the hood from my house.
- 21:41Speaker 2: I might be a large mob, but I can see right.
- 21:44Speaker 3: You've taken uber to a bus stop. Well, I mean
- 21:48Speaker 3: speaking of inappropriate behavior and just crossing the line, Lacy.
- 21:53Speaker 3: I was excited to have you here on the podcast here,
- 21:57Speaker 3: so it's unfortunate the podcast is called I said no gifts,
- 22:00Speaker 3: and you've been on the show before you brought a gift.
- 22:03Speaker 3: I thought you had learned your lesson, but today you
- 22:05Speaker 3: showed up holding what appears to be some sort of gift.
- 22:09Speaker 4: Yes, I'm so sorry. I'm very hard headed. I did
- 22:11Speaker 4: not listen, and I did bring a gift.
- 22:14Speaker 3: Stubbornness.
- 22:14Speaker 2: Okay, it's not from the place. This back is with
- 22:17Speaker 2: the bag. I'm trying to save the planet.
- 22:19Speaker 3: Gorgeous bag though, let's be honest. A nice little black
- 22:22Speaker 3: and white stripe bag pulling it out here. Wait, I've
- 22:28Speaker 3: never seen this object before. It's a Tiny TV Mini
- 22:33Speaker 3: with new and improved features from Tiny Circus. What is
- 22:35Speaker 3: this a miniature television?
- 22:37Speaker 2: Yes it is. What look at the features.
- 22:40Speaker 3: The tiny TV Mini is the cutest way. I'm gonna
- 22:43Speaker 3: just get paid for this now. The Tiny TV Mini
- 22:45Speaker 3: is the cutest way to watch your favorite videos and movies.
- 22:48Speaker 3: Features beautifully bright oh lead display and oh lead displays.
- 22:52Speaker 3: A nice display. That's what you want these days. Power
- 22:55Speaker 3: channel and channel buttons on the top of the case,
- 22:57Speaker 3: built in speaker, and then there's a sticker over a
- 22:59Speaker 3: lot of it. But you can store over forty hours
- 23:01Speaker 3: of something built in rechargeable and it has a tiny remote.
- 23:06Speaker 3: Yeah tiny TV? What why did you bring this? This
- 23:08Speaker 3: is incredible. The remote is bigger than the TV.
- 23:11Speaker 4: Remote is bigger than the TV. And I was like,
- 23:13Speaker 4: I guess it has to have a good like vision
- 23:15Speaker 4: on the TV because.
- 23:16Speaker 2: It's so small.
- 23:18Speaker 3: I mean it's like the size of a stamp.
- 23:19Speaker 2: I'm like, how are you going to see anything on there?
- 23:22Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 23:23Speaker 2: So this is one of those things that I've had
- 23:25Speaker 2: in my home. I've never used it. It's just been
- 23:27Speaker 2: banged around in my car. But it is brand new.
- 23:30Speaker 3: Yeah, it's mint condition.
- 23:31Speaker 2: So I got it.
- 23:34Speaker 4: I was doing a photo shoot and I tend to
- 23:36Speaker 4: like I had a holist, but I wanted to do
- 23:38Speaker 4: something like interesting with like I don't know, like all
- 23:42Speaker 4: of the It was to promote my book, but like
- 23:44Speaker 4: you know, I have a television show, scam Got Is
- 23:46Speaker 4: the book and the podcast. I was like thinking like, oh,
- 23:48Speaker 4: like maybe I have like a little picture where it's
- 23:50Speaker 4: like a tiny TV and a tiny book I don't know.
- 23:52Speaker 2: And like, when I got to the shoot, my publicist
- 23:55Speaker 2: was like, h we don't love this idea.
- 23:56Speaker 4: I was like, okay, yeah, sometimes when I'm going to
- 23:59Speaker 4: do photo she's like getting the mindset of a drag queen.
- 24:02Speaker 3: I think that's a great mindset for a photo shoot.
- 24:04Speaker 3: Everyone should be in a drag mindset when they get
- 24:06Speaker 3: a picture take.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Yeah, but sometimes you need a photo that the publication
- 24:10Speaker 2: can you use. It's not so specific. And so I
- 24:13Speaker 2: was like, oh, okay, guys, so wow, had I rediscovered
- 24:16Speaker 2: it the other day?
- 24:17Speaker 3: But you never use it, You've never turned it on
- 24:18Speaker 3: or anything. I wish we could charge it right now,
- 24:22Speaker 3: a little USB corse. It's absolutely adorable. This is like
- 24:25Speaker 3: a TV for a mouse or a cricket, some sort
- 24:28Speaker 3: of bug.
- 24:29Speaker 5: If you have a lizard lizard television.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Wow, this is really fascinating. Where did you get it
- 24:38Speaker 3: from that I do?
- 24:41Speaker 2: I want to say, maybe like one of those fabric stores.
- 24:45Speaker 3: Oh, like a Joeanne Michael.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Yeah, whichever one was is the non anti abortion.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Okay, that's hobby lobby is the one that is pro
- 24:55Speaker 3: everything horrible?
- 24:56Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was probably I think it might have been.
- 24:58Speaker 3: Okay, and she's gone now rest in peace. Yeah, she's gone.
- 25:03Speaker 3: Last year. Last year we buried her and it was
- 25:09Speaker 3: she was very sick. Towards the end. I went in
- 25:12Speaker 3: the store and it was absolute chaos. But maybe she'll
- 25:17Speaker 3: rise again. I don't know, but we just kind of
- 25:20Speaker 3: have Michael's now, which is unfortunate.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Damn.
- 25:22Speaker 2: I hate to see a woman go before men.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really a shame. I used to love Joeanne.
- 25:29Speaker 3: I would go there for my clothing dye.
- 25:32Speaker 2: I get fabrics and I was over to something creative.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Yeah, everything and killed. I just watch an Elizabeth Warren
- 25:42Speaker 3: video and she says private equity, which makes perfect sense.
- 25:46Speaker 3: Private equity pulls up, takes over, and then just destroys
- 25:49Speaker 3: everything and make sure it's bad so it will fall apart.
- 25:53Speaker 3: And so I didn't realize that Joanne had gotten snatched up.
- 25:57Speaker 3: I wonder if there was an original Joeanne Drift. There's
- 26:00Speaker 3: some Joanne out there in the world, and those were
- 26:02Speaker 3: her fabrics. Those were her fabrics blew up. This was
- 26:05Speaker 3: her legacy.
- 26:06Speaker 4: That's why I hope, because you know, sometimes it's not
- 26:08Speaker 4: like when I found out and Jemima was never real,
- 26:11Speaker 4: and people just want to feel like a black lady
- 26:12Speaker 4: was making their pancakes because they couldn't afford want to
- 26:14Speaker 4: do that anymore.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Where I found out Uncle Ben wasn't really making that rice.
- 26:19Speaker 3: It's like finding out about Santa Claus. Right, Who's there's
- 26:22Speaker 3: another one, Betty Crocker.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Yeah, Betty, Betty wasn't doing none of that.
- 26:27Speaker 3: What were they doing? What were they doing in the
- 26:29Speaker 3: fifties where they're just creating these phony.
- 26:31Speaker 4: Well, it was that transition from a lot of people
- 26:33Speaker 4: not being able to one like exploit black labor sure
- 26:37Speaker 4: or housekeepers in general.
- 26:38Speaker 2: And so they thought, how we make like housewives feel.
- 26:41Speaker 3: Good and not lonely.
- 26:42Speaker 2: We'll put a little person on the package and act
- 26:44Speaker 2: like they're cooking for you.
- 26:45Speaker 4: And they were on so many koelus. I'm sure they
- 26:47Speaker 4: was talking to the box. I'm sure we're great.
- 26:52Speaker 3: Yeah, it's yeah, I don't think we're really. I mean
- 26:55Speaker 3: that kind of felt like an early AI early Uh
- 26:58Speaker 3: what's her name? What's the AI actor? Tillie Norwood? Oh, yes,
- 27:03Speaker 3: I just read about her. I just there was an interview.
- 27:06Speaker 3: All this makes me feel so nervous. But in the
- 27:09Speaker 3: New York Times somebody interviewed her, but the whole thing
- 27:13Speaker 3: was about AI. It wasn't just like a straight interview.
- 27:15Speaker 3: But it's like, let's just leave it alone. Let's just
- 27:18Speaker 3: not do this at all. What does anyone getting out
- 27:20Speaker 3: of this other than being afraid?
- 27:23Speaker 2: Right, No one asked for this. No, we're already miserable
- 27:26Speaker 2: as it is. What do you mean come in and
- 27:27Speaker 2: take our happiness away?
- 27:29Speaker 5: Like, hey, I do my dishes, Okay, Yeah.
- 27:31Speaker 3: There are certain things where I'm like, if it didn't,
- 27:33Speaker 3: if it weren't for the environmental impact, I would be
- 27:36Speaker 3: happy for it to do certain things. But most of
- 27:39Speaker 3: the tasks I would have it do are things that
- 27:40Speaker 3: are fairly easy to accomplish or mindless, and like, maybe
- 27:43Speaker 3: I'll just keep doing them.
- 27:44Speaker 4: Rather things that are a source of joy for us
- 27:46Speaker 4: as human beings, like our creative outlets and things art.
- 27:50Speaker 3: That's a tough one.
- 27:51Speaker 2: I wish a wedding day. Let hey I beat a bride?
- 27:54Speaker 2: What do you mean, like I would like to do that?
- 27:57Speaker 3: Do you know what? I think we really handed over
- 27:59Speaker 3: too much power when you do you remember the trend
- 28:02Speaker 3: everybody was getting like you would like upload a bunch
- 28:04Speaker 3: of your pictures and then a I would create all
- 28:06Speaker 3: these different styles of art. That was an unfortunate two
- 28:10Speaker 3: days in history that I think we said, everybody just
- 28:13Speaker 3: take the case. I want to see a horrible piece
- 28:16Speaker 3: of art of myself.
- 28:19Speaker 2: I mean.
- 28:19Speaker 4: And honestly, the collective narcissism that we have is really
- 28:22Speaker 4: killing our country.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Like this rugged individualism is murdering us.
- 28:26Speaker 4: We must to be community. And now everybody wants to
- 28:30Speaker 4: go to therapy. And some people go to therapy actually
- 28:32Speaker 4: to heal. Some people go there to like learn therapyze language,
- 28:35Speaker 4: you know, therapy language, and then manipulated.
- 28:39Speaker 3: To justify their behavior.
- 28:40Speaker 4: Yeah, I used to justify their behavior and inappropriately, and
- 28:43Speaker 4: we've seen so much of that. When it comes to community,
- 28:47Speaker 4: people wanna be like, well, these are my boundaries.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Is I don't show up.
- 28:50Speaker 4: For anyone, I don't help anyone, don't call me, don't
- 28:52Speaker 4: ask me for shit, because these are there's so much fames.
- 28:55Speaker 2: That's not how community works. Sometimes community is inconvenient.
- 29:00Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a part of that. Considering things outside of
- 29:03Speaker 3: your sex.
- 29:05Speaker 4: Yeah, sometimes there's gonna be a baby on a plane
- 29:07Speaker 4: because they got a flat I little unemployed baby somewhere.
- 29:10Speaker 4: We all hate it, but we have to deal with
- 29:13Speaker 4: it because it's commune.
- 29:14Speaker 3: In a moment. Honestly, the parent hates.
- 29:16Speaker 4: It embarrassed, like a parent of water. I don't know,
- 29:21Speaker 4: maybe the baby need to dip a pacified, a little bourbon.
- 29:24Speaker 4: I don't know what we needed to get through this flight,
- 29:26Speaker 4: but like we all should be helping that, right. They're
- 29:29Speaker 4: not making a baby cry, They're not pitching a baby
- 29:31Speaker 4: like you know, although I will say if I am
- 29:35Speaker 4: on a flight with a good baby, I will turn
- 29:37Speaker 4: around at the end of the flight and be like,
- 29:38Speaker 4: oh my god, you got a great baby.
- 29:40Speaker 3: You get that baby's got a future baby.
- 29:42Speaker 2: They're like, thank you so much like that baby's great.
- 29:45Speaker 3: We've got to support the good babies. We've got to
- 29:47Speaker 3: encourage good babies. Maybe other babies will catch on. Yeah,
- 29:50Speaker 3: you know, I've always wondered about babies in TV shows
- 29:53Speaker 3: and movies when they're crying, what's happening? How are you
- 29:55Speaker 3: getting them to cry?
- 29:56Speaker 4: It's the same audio, And if you the same audio carefully,
- 30:00Speaker 4: you will notice that. And I'm like waiting for somebody
- 30:02Speaker 4: to record a new baby crying. But it's always if you.
- 30:05Speaker 2: Listen to several babies crying, they usually are using the
- 30:07Speaker 2: same light baby. It must be free.
- 30:10Speaker 3: Yeah, you can just like download it from like sound
- 30:12Speaker 3: effects dot com or something. M hmmm, yeah, but what
- 30:15Speaker 3: about if you because occasionally you see the baby crying,
- 30:18Speaker 3: they pinching it. I heard they're pinching them. I want
- 30:21Speaker 3: to be done pinching.
- 30:22Speaker 2: If they can't look at you cry, pinch.
- 30:26Speaker 3: The baby, that's evil, that's evil.
- 30:30Speaker 2: I can't say. But the babies I've worked with there
- 30:32Speaker 2: was no pinching, no pinching, no pinching.
- 30:34Speaker 3: They were quiet, just spraying with a spray bottle or something.
- 30:37Speaker 2: I was shocked, though.
- 30:38Speaker 4: The baby TV pipeline is scary to me because, uh,
- 30:42Speaker 4: I had to work with a baby, and typically you'll
- 30:44Speaker 4: have babies that are twins depending on how long the
- 30:46Speaker 4: shoot is, because you can't have a baby child labor laws.
- 30:50Speaker 4: And I remember working with a baby that was so
- 30:53Speaker 4: fresh on single parents, like still had a placenter perm.
- 30:56Speaker 2: I'm like, who did we just took this out this
- 30:57Speaker 2: lady coaching and wrapped it up.
- 30:59Speaker 4: And I was like, as a parent, like why would
- 31:02Speaker 4: you give your fresh fresh Like when I say hot
- 31:05Speaker 4: off the press's baby to a stranger. You didn't have
- 31:09Speaker 4: my whooping cough vaccine, right, that's not something I was
- 31:11Speaker 4: required to have, you know what I mean?
- 31:12Speaker 2: Like, you just give me this baby?
- 31:14Speaker 1: Got?
- 31:15Speaker 3: Is the casting director hanging out in the NICU unit
- 31:17Speaker 3: or like what's going on? Like, well, how are you
- 31:19Speaker 3: finding these parents that are like willing to bring the
- 31:21Speaker 3: child like that early?
- 31:23Speaker 2: I don't want to unpasteurized baby.
- 31:27Speaker 3: Wow, that's wild. No, I'm very curious about the crying
- 31:30Speaker 3: babies and the pinching, but I guess it's this is
- 31:33Speaker 3: something I've talked about with AI on this podcast before
- 31:35Speaker 3: and it's not my idea, and I unfortunately can't credit
- 31:38Speaker 3: the person. But they said the only thing that AI
- 31:40Speaker 3: should be used for is child acting.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Oh I think that would be if it was a
- 31:46Speaker 2: detrimental environment.
- 31:47Speaker 4: Yes, again, child acting only thing we needed for because
- 31:51Speaker 4: children should.
- 31:51Speaker 3: Not be employed.
- 31:53Speaker 2: I wanted to be a child actor.
- 31:55Speaker 4: A should let me take as many acting classes as
- 31:57Speaker 4: I want all throughout schools on migrades were good, but
- 32:00Speaker 4: I was not allowed to be in that.
- 32:02Speaker 2: I I've worked with child actors and in my entire career.
- 32:05Speaker 4: Thus far, I've only met the parents of one child
- 32:08Speaker 4: actor that I thought, well, no, two child actors that
- 32:10Speaker 4: I thought were sane people, right.
- 32:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I've met some real wild ones, some real stage parents,
- 32:17Speaker 3: and if you've worked as an actor before, it's like
- 32:18Speaker 3: it's such a demanding job emotionally and physically. It's like
- 32:23Speaker 3: a child is.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Doing not educating these kids.
- 32:27Speaker 3: School.
- 32:28Speaker 4: I haven't seen a school on sit teaching them, but
- 32:32Speaker 4: their maybe favorite color is four.
- 32:33Speaker 2: They don't know nothing.
- 32:35Speaker 3: No, they're probably doing the word search or you know,
- 32:37Speaker 3: they're throwing them a highlights magget.
- 32:38Speaker 4: Not real school, and they're also not being socialized in
- 32:42Speaker 4: a way that is necessary for the rest of your life.
- 32:44Speaker 3: School is important, yes, yeah, so that maybe that's one thing,
- 32:48Speaker 3: but I don't know. Yeah, speaking of television, what's your
- 32:54Speaker 3: favorite television show? I never get into this sort of
- 32:56Speaker 3: conversation on the podcast. I just like to hear about
- 32:58Speaker 3: people's favorite things and maybe not even your most favorite,
- 33:01Speaker 3: but what's the show you love?
- 33:03Speaker 4: Okay, so shows that I rewatch over and over again
- 33:07Speaker 4: thirty Rock just because it's an AK forty seven of jokes.
- 33:11Speaker 2: You can just watch it over and over and catch
- 33:13Speaker 2: something different.
- 33:14Speaker 4: Also, I love a joke that once you read a
- 33:19Speaker 4: book or get some context as an adult, you realize
- 33:22Speaker 4: what the joke was totally like I hate that there's such.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Little media literacy these days that these poor kids like if.
- 33:29Speaker 4: It's not spelled out for them, and even if it is,
- 33:31Speaker 4: they act like they came to some grand conclusion where
- 33:34Speaker 4: I'm used to seeing, like parodies of the Odyssey or
- 33:37Speaker 4: thieves that are like liken to other you know, things
- 33:39Speaker 4: that I've learned, Right.
- 33:40Speaker 2: I love jokes like that because I feel like the
- 33:42Speaker 2: payoff is having knowledge.
- 33:44Speaker 3: Yes, I don't need all of my jokes to be
- 33:45Speaker 3: like super High, but having some sort of layers to things. Yeah,
- 33:48Speaker 3: and thirty Rock does all of that. I do. All
- 33:50Speaker 3: of them do the dumbest jokes, they do the smartest
- 33:52Speaker 3: You're gonna.
- 33:53Speaker 4: Get Tracy Morgan Yellen, Like I saw too babies giving
- 33:55Speaker 4: each other a tattoo.
- 33:56Speaker 2: They were very drunk, like you're gonna get jokes like.
- 33:59Speaker 4: That, jokes that like you really have to have some
- 34:02Speaker 4: information to understand. Love Modern Family as well? Can rewatch that?
- 34:07Speaker 3: Sure?
- 34:08Speaker 2: What are my other rewatches that I just like can
- 34:10Speaker 2: put on and enjoy?
- 34:12Speaker 1: Uh?
- 34:13Speaker 2: Sometimes I go back to Girls fivee Eva, Oh so good.
- 34:16Speaker 3: That's a friend of the show I worked on. Kimmy
- 34:19Speaker 3: Schmidt uh and Meredith Scardino creator of Girls five Eva,
- 34:22Speaker 3: she's one of the all times. Yes, extremely Yeah, those
- 34:26Speaker 3: are all kind of in the thirty rock vein just
- 34:28Speaker 3: so funny. So every one of them has just a
- 34:31Speaker 3: million jokes. There's nothing like that. Yeah, there's, like I mean,
- 34:34Speaker 3: I guess there's The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins,
- 34:37Speaker 3: which I am watching, But otherwise there aren't really shows
- 34:39Speaker 3: with a ton of jokes anymore, I know.
- 34:41Speaker 2: And those are the shows I love to be on.
- 34:43Speaker 4: And the rewatchability is crazy, and that's what's so frustrating
- 34:46Speaker 4: to me about how disrespected comedy is and continues to
- 34:49Speaker 4: be in this industry. Like Wilfarell should have want to
- 34:51Speaker 4: Oscar for Taladay at nights of course, hands down, period.
- 34:55Speaker 3: It's harder to be funny.
- 34:56Speaker 4: It's harder to be funny. It's something you have to
- 34:58Speaker 4: be born with and something you have to hone. And also,
- 35:00Speaker 4: on top of that, the rewatchability of a comedy over
- 35:03Speaker 4: a drama is absolutely fucking insane. How many times you're
- 35:06Speaker 4: gonna be like, hey, y'all, I just got some wine
- 35:08Speaker 4: and some blench, I'll pull up.
- 35:09Speaker 2: We about to watch twelve years of Slate. No, you
- 35:12Speaker 2: watch it once. You appreciate it.
- 35:13Speaker 3: You had the experience.
- 35:15Speaker 2: Anybody like, hey, y'all turn on that fruit veil begetting it.
- 35:18Speaker 3: You had the experience and like, no, yeah, that's very true.
- 35:24Speaker 2: Beautiful pieces.
- 35:25Speaker 4: They're important, but they're not something you want to re
- 35:28Speaker 4: traumatize it after you've seen it.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Right.
- 35:31Speaker 3: That's true of a lot of dramas. Right, if something's
- 35:34Speaker 3: got some funniness to it, you're going to at least
- 35:37Speaker 3: see it twice. Yeah, a lot of dramas. I'm like, yep,
- 35:41Speaker 3: I had it, I've seen it, I thinked it. I
- 35:43Speaker 3: don't need to go back. I don't need to go
- 35:45Speaker 3: back there.
- 35:46Speaker 4: The only like drama is TV shows that I'm going
- 35:48Speaker 4: back to are anything that Nicole Kimmen.
- 35:50Speaker 2: Is in with a bad wig.
- 35:51Speaker 3: Oh, well, the wigs. Those wigs are watchable.
- 35:54Speaker 4: If I see Nikki came in in a lasty bad wig. Oh,
- 35:58Speaker 4: I'm watching because I know it's gonna be.
- 36:01Speaker 2: Well, this is perfect Strangers, The Undoing she's in, Uh, Marlow's.
- 36:08Speaker 3: Got money money, Uh yeah, something like that. And then
- 36:13Speaker 3: what's the big one with Reese Witherspoon Big Little Lies. Now.
- 36:19Speaker 3: This is something though that I've admitted to on this
- 36:21Speaker 3: podcast before. I'm wig blind. I can't. I can rarely
- 36:25Speaker 3: tell if someone's wearing a wig. Wow, So Nicole had
- 36:28Speaker 3: me fooled for a really long time. I know she
- 36:32Speaker 3: had no part. It's something I deal with.
- 36:34Speaker 2: There was no day, there was no scalp emanated nowhere.
- 36:38Speaker 3: I mean the fact that I've gotten as far as
- 36:39Speaker 3: I have in life having this a wig blindness is
- 36:42Speaker 3: pretty miraculous. But I truly, unless the wig is so egregious,
- 36:47Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, that's just their hair. But now I know.
- 36:50Speaker 3: I mean, I can, at least with Nicole, I know
- 36:52Speaker 3: that it's always a wig, so I can I can
- 36:55Speaker 3: at least lie that I know it's away.
- 36:58Speaker 4: I think she needs that, and she needs to have
- 36:59Speaker 4: her American accent even when it's not necessary, because something
- 37:03Speaker 4: undoing like that shrip on the Barbie accent was popping out.
- 37:05Speaker 2: All the time, and I was like, Babe, you Grant
- 37:08Speaker 2: is in this being British. You could definitely just be Australia.
- 37:12Speaker 3: She's like, yeah, the American accent's very interesting to me.
- 37:15Speaker 3: With her, It's like because she never seems American, but
- 37:19Speaker 3: then she's it's like, so where did this woman come from?
- 37:21Speaker 4: I think she's the strict why and then she did
- 37:24Speaker 4: have schools st up in DC for a little while.
- 37:26Speaker 4: I'll be in her lord and obviously Australia, like she's
- 37:30Speaker 4: been all over so she has a worldly accent.
- 37:32Speaker 2: It's just everything.
- 37:33Speaker 3: And do we know what she looks like without a wig?
- 37:37Speaker 2: Yeah, she does carbons and stuff without her wings.
- 37:39Speaker 3: She does.
- 37:39Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if her wigs might be a
- 37:41Speaker 4: character choice for her, Like you know how maryl will
- 37:43Speaker 4: throw some teeth inf and over.
- 37:45Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, te anytime you're putting in teeth, they're like, okay,
- 37:48Speaker 3: well you've ruined through all.
- 37:51Speaker 4: It's Meryl though, I was looking like, baby, why I
- 37:54Speaker 4: got them teeth? But I also like Meryl.
- 37:56Speaker 3: Sure, we love the teeth. They're iconic teeth.
- 37:59Speaker 2: She could do whatever she was and I'm here for it.
- 38:01Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got to look up no wig Nicole Kidman.
- 38:04Speaker 3: Maybe in the nineties she was doing more non wig work.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Yeah, the nineties, I feel like she was a little
- 38:09Speaker 2: less wiggy, right.
- 38:09Speaker 3: I wonder how much her wigs are costing. I bet
- 38:11Speaker 3: those are expensive.
- 38:13Speaker 2: I hope they're not that expensive.
- 38:14Speaker 3: Yeah, because then, yeah, I was thinking everyone thinks that
- 38:16Speaker 3: they look terrible but again for me, I think they
- 38:20Speaker 3: look like hair. What's wrong with me? I need like
- 38:23Speaker 3: a training. They're not the worst wigs, Okay.
- 38:26Speaker 2: It's just they give us a little wikiness.
- 38:28Speaker 3: Who do you think has the worst wig in the business,
- 38:31Speaker 3: the worst wig in the big men with terrible wigs? Ooh,
- 38:37Speaker 3: John Travolta's got.
- 38:38Speaker 4: A wig, right, yeah, I mean it's probably forty seven.
- 38:42Speaker 4: But let me think wigs that I'm like, better, please, baby, please?
- 38:48Speaker 5: Wow?
- 38:49Speaker 2: Why would you do this? Like if they look flammable?
- 38:51Speaker 2: Right and whatnot? I mean, honestly, for a little while there,
- 38:55Speaker 2: Kylie Jenner was wearing really really bad wis oh interesting.
- 38:58Speaker 2: And I've seen her in person. Had to wait her
- 39:00Speaker 2: once when I was with this is back in the day,
- 39:02Speaker 2: and she was nice. This is no shade to her.
- 39:03Speaker 2: I think she's improved. The wigs so good.
- 39:05Speaker 4: But back then it was a kind of wig that
- 39:07Speaker 4: when you saw it in person, you wondered if the
- 39:08Speaker 4: person had like mental health issues.
- 39:10Speaker 3: Interesting, yeah, I wonder somebody with that level of money.
- 39:13Speaker 3: I'm always like, why are you not hiring just somebody
- 39:15Speaker 3: who knows how to buy wigs?
- 39:17Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, access to good wigs is just now
- 39:20Speaker 4: being democratized. And it's not a situation where everyone knows
- 39:25Speaker 4: a good wig maker, right right, Like the technology is
- 39:28Speaker 4: just reaching everybody.
- 39:30Speaker 3: But this is Kylie Jenner we're talking about.
- 39:32Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's like to find a real good wig maker.
- 39:34Speaker 3: She's headed to party City. She's going to this Halloween
- 39:37Speaker 3: spirit that's probably come.
- 39:38Speaker 4: Off the right public quality hair. But it's like all
- 39:40Speaker 4: about the lace, the part of dyeing, how it's laid.
- 39:43Speaker 2: To the scalp. All of these things matter.
- 39:45Speaker 3: Fascinating Kylie. So is she always in a wig? Do
- 39:48Speaker 3: you think?
- 39:49Speaker 4: I don't think, but I think a lot of people
- 39:51Speaker 4: utilize wigs. I utilize wigs, especially as a grown woman now,
- 39:54Speaker 4: who doing my.
- 39:55Speaker 2: Hair is trash?
- 39:56Speaker 3: Okay?
- 39:56Speaker 2: If I put one on in some spirit gum and
- 39:59Speaker 2: it's not a little bit and leave my house, like.
- 40:03Speaker 3: Right right, I just need to Maybe Actually I kind
- 40:07Speaker 3: of like living in this ignorance of just not knowing
- 40:08Speaker 3: what it. I like that for us. I like it
- 40:11Speaker 3: for no.
- 40:12Speaker 4: If I need to ye if I need to wear
- 40:13Speaker 4: a wig and I don't got a lot of time,
- 40:15Speaker 4: if I need to throw it on Tyler Perry's pout,
- 40:16Speaker 4: just grab it, you know, I know that you're not
- 40:19Speaker 4: gonna judge me.
- 40:20Speaker 3: Yeah, hang out with me, any wig, any wig. I
- 40:22Speaker 3: will buy it unless it's like even I think even
- 40:25Speaker 3: if it was like blue, I think I would be like, well,
- 40:26Speaker 3: they've dyed their hair, yeah, which people do. Yeah, if
- 40:29Speaker 3: people do it, people are doing it more and more,
- 40:31Speaker 3: dyeing their hair.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Yeah. It used to be so taboo, and I love it.
- 40:34Speaker 4: It's a thing now where it's like you can't discover
- 40:36Speaker 4: it at someone having a blue hair in the office place, Like,
- 40:38Speaker 4: does that them doing their jobs?
- 40:41Speaker 3: That actually is kind of a new thing that like
- 40:43Speaker 3: you can work with a different type of hair style.
- 40:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, because all of those tools of conformity
- 40:49Speaker 4: were just under capitalism and adjacent to like if you're
- 40:53Speaker 4: doing your job, like the whole uptight office cubicle, we
- 40:57Speaker 4: all have to dress like this, your hair has to
- 40:58Speaker 4: look a certain way.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Was all just and unnecessary.
- 41:01Speaker 3: Anytime I see somebody in a suit going to work,
- 41:03Speaker 3: I'm like, what horrible job do you have to deal with?
- 41:07Speaker 4: Me?
- 41:07Speaker 3: You have to get up every day and put on
- 41:09Speaker 3: church clothes? Nightmare, my ultimate nightmare.
- 41:12Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like a suit could be a
- 41:14Speaker 4: very nice, powerful tactic through. I do feel different when
- 41:16Speaker 4: I'm in a suit.
- 41:18Speaker 5: But to be required, Yeah, that's what boring job do
- 41:22Speaker 5: you have to do Friday?
- 41:25Speaker 3: Casual Friday, and then you look like a dork That
- 41:29Speaker 3: should be called dork Fridays. I feel like any casual Friday,
- 41:32Speaker 3: anybody shows up, they look like a nerd. Just don't
- 41:35Speaker 3: do it. Yeah, because most of the people are they
- 41:37Speaker 3: don't have the wardrobe at that point for casual Friday.
- 41:39Speaker 3: They've got a bunch of nice suits. True, just I
- 41:44Speaker 3: don't know wardrobe for work. I think you should just
- 41:46Speaker 3: be able to wear whatever you want, whenever you want.
- 41:48Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 41:49Speaker 4: Sometimes though, I feel like a suit can be constrictive
- 41:51Speaker 4: in a way that makes people more inclined to do
- 41:54Speaker 4: their jobs better.
- 41:56Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
- 41:57Speaker 3: Don't no one let Lacy be a boss anyone. This
- 42:01Speaker 3: is a cruel manager.
- 42:04Speaker 2: It's all about a little tie running and they're choking
- 42:07Speaker 2: you a little bit.
- 42:08Speaker 4: That reminds you that you're in a capitalist hillscape. If
- 42:11Speaker 4: you want to breathe, you better keep working hard.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Timothy, you should be working for Meta or something.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Oh, they don't wear that. They were like hip guy
- 42:19Speaker 2: three thousand dollars white teas.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Yeah, because meanwhile they like doing those like keystroke things
- 42:23Speaker 3: where they know that you're like locked to your computer
- 42:25Speaker 3: all day.
- 42:26Speaker 2: That to me is the worst thing ever whoever came
- 42:28Speaker 2: up with that.
- 42:30Speaker 4: You have to move your mouth otherwise they think you're
- 42:33Speaker 4: not working if you're working from home. And people who
- 42:36Speaker 4: hate work from home just are monitoring spirits and need
- 42:39Speaker 4: to get friends. Because if the only time you are
- 42:41Speaker 4: conversing with people and interacting with people is at your job,
- 42:44Speaker 4: I can almost guarantee that everyone at your job hates you.
- 42:47Speaker 2: If you're someone who is an advocate for not working
- 42:49Speaker 2: for home.
- 42:50Speaker 4: I when you look in the mirror and say everyone
- 42:52Speaker 4: at your job hates you, because I promise you they do.
- 42:56Speaker 4: No one wants to be accosted at the water cooler
- 42:58Speaker 4: by you. No one wants to smell youre talapia in
- 43:01Speaker 4: the microwave.

- 43:18Speaker 2: Yes you have.
- 43:20Speaker 3: I'm gonna absolutely just be glued to this television set too.
- 43:25Speaker 3: I don't know what it sounds like. Yeah, that's right.
- 43:27Speaker 5: I didn't even think about the streak you have like
- 43:29Speaker 5: a box court.
- 43:30Speaker 3: Or I'm not even seeing like a speaker.
- 43:33Speaker 2: You play it out loud.
- 43:34Speaker 3: Oh interesting. Eventually you have so many hooked things hooked
- 43:39Speaker 3: into it. That's size of a TV. This is about
- 43:41Speaker 3: the size of an Apple TV remote literally, so choke
- 43:46Speaker 3: on that or something. Well, I think we should play
- 43:48Speaker 3: a game. Yes, we're going to play a new game.
- 43:51Speaker 3: You're the first person playing this game on the podcast Ellis,
- 43:54Speaker 3: and I played it on the Patreon recently. But I'm
- 43:58Speaker 3: excited to try it and we'll see what happens. I
- 44:01Speaker 3: need a number between one and ten from you first.
- 44:05Speaker 2: Seven?
- 44:06Speaker 3: Okay, I actually don't need the number right. What the
- 44:10Speaker 3: game is? Nun No? Yeah, I'm so used to our
- 44:14Speaker 3: other games require like a random thing. But I want
- 44:17Speaker 3: to give you some time to promote. So promote something.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Oh okay. You can watch Scam Goddess, the television show
- 44:23Speaker 2: on Hulu.

- 44:27Speaker 4: like to hear me read to you about my scam schemes, capers, jokes, crime, maybe.
- 44:32Speaker 2: How to do crime or how to avoid it. I
- 44:34Speaker 2: don't know legally speaking.
- 44:36Speaker 4: And you can listen to my podcast Scam Goddess anywhere
- 44:38Speaker 4: that you get your podcasts beautifully promoted.
- 44:41Speaker 3: I've been on the podcast, yes twice. Yes, we did
- 44:44Speaker 3: a fun Christmas episode. We did. It's been a while,
- 44:47Speaker 3: Yeah we should. I love I love scams, and you're
- 44:50Speaker 3: just it's so nice to show up and you just
- 44:52Speaker 3: have a buffet of scams to talk about. Yes, I
- 44:55Speaker 3: don't have to do any research. I just get to
- 44:57Speaker 3: learn about.
- 44:58Speaker 2: Scams and get all your input, which we love.
- 45:01Speaker 3: Yes, what do I like? What do I need to do?
- 45:03Speaker 3: You know what I want to promote? And this is
- 45:04Speaker 3: not a paid advertisement to be I'm loving tob I
- 45:09Speaker 3: get into tub. I'm telling people, the documentary selection on
- 45:13Speaker 3: Tube is incredible. I'm so tired of every other streaming service.
- 45:17Speaker 3: All the documentaries are essentially just true crime. You get
- 45:20Speaker 3: on tub all kinds of fun things. Yeah, it's chaotic.
- 45:23Speaker 3: I think that's what I like about it. You get
- 45:24Speaker 3: on there and you're like, I would have never picked
- 45:26Speaker 3: any of these things, but they've got interesting choices. Not
- 45:29Speaker 3: a paid advertisement toub to be.
- 45:32Speaker 2: They're also hilarious. You can watch the worst movies.
- 45:35Speaker 4: You've ever seen, and there's something about to be that.
- 45:38Speaker 4: When something goes viral, Tub is the first to make
- 45:41Speaker 4: a movie about it. But remember, like I don't know
- 45:43Speaker 4: who I married the Resa Tisa story. They were like,
- 45:47Speaker 4: it was like, who the fuck did I marry? Like
- 45:50Speaker 4: Tube came out with like I'm married who? Like something
- 45:53Speaker 4: like like they're making the Sian version of television over
- 45:57Speaker 4: there and it's so funny to me. And some of
- 45:59Speaker 4: their stunts is special effects are just.
- 46:01Speaker 3: I got to get into these two be originals. Oh,
- 46:03Speaker 3: I'm very excited about that. Well, we're going to play
- 46:06Speaker 3: a game. It's called invite List, and this is what's
- 46:08Speaker 3: going to happen. You're going to make an invite list
- 46:11Speaker 3: for a party. You only get to have ten people come. Okay,
- 46:14Speaker 3: so I'm going to start reading a list of names.
- 46:16Speaker 3: You're going to tell me if the person is invited
- 46:18Speaker 3: or not invited until we've got ten people coming to
- 46:20Speaker 3: the party. Does that make sense? Yes, okay, and Ellis
- 46:24Speaker 3: is going to keep charge of how many people because
- 46:26Speaker 3: I can't do everything, all right, So that's perfectly clear.
- 46:31Speaker 3: Invited or not invited. Invited or not invite, Tim Gunn.
- 46:36Speaker 2: I don't know how long the list is.
- 46:38Speaker 3: You gotta be careful. That's the game. Not invited, Friend Libowitz.
- 46:45Speaker 5: Not invited, Mister Beast not invited.
- 46:49Speaker 4: These are for different reasons, though, I'm going for a demo.
- 46:51Speaker 4: Friend's great lover thinks he's amazing. Tim, fabulous, beautiful gowns.
- 46:56Speaker 3: This is your party.
- 46:57Speaker 2: No, you can only have locked me as something.
- 47:00Speaker 3: You can and you can reason one way or the other.
- 47:02Speaker 3: I'm happy to hear any reasoning.
- 47:03Speaker 2: Yeah, mister's always trying to put somebody on somebody.
- 47:05Speaker 3: Gauge, and it's a very private party, very so you
- 47:09Speaker 3: have to be selected here. Robin Thick.
- 47:17Speaker 2: Uh, Yes, because I feel like he would do something
- 47:19Speaker 2: like Ember's.
- 47:21Speaker 3: That's a great reason you have to have one of
- 47:23Speaker 3: those party. Somebody gets about a common enemy almost Malia Obama,
- 47:30Speaker 3: of course. Martha Stewart.
- 47:32Speaker 4: Yes, Okay, look she did jail time. She han't got
- 47:36Speaker 4: a swoopsong. I want to know some of the tips
- 47:38Speaker 4: and tricks in the kitchen.
- 47:39Speaker 3: Yes, I bet she would be an incredible time at
- 47:41Speaker 3: a party. Yeah, or she's probably gonna criticize whatever you
- 47:45Speaker 3: put together. But whatever.
- 47:46Speaker 2: Stanley Tucci Absolutely, I love Stanley Tucci.
- 47:49Speaker 4: Alex Jones hell no, unless it's like a trap and

- 48:12Speaker 3: Eddie Vedder.
- 48:13Speaker 2: No, I don't know that's why.
- 48:15Speaker 3: Beyonce of course, please, that's kind of obough one. Yeah,
- 48:20Speaker 3: Andrews and Cooper, Yes, I love Andy. This next one's
- 48:23Speaker 3: gonna be kind of complicated considering another person. You've already
- 48:26Speaker 3: invited Solange?
- 48:28Speaker 2: How is that complicated? Absolutely?
- 48:30Speaker 3: But what you kind of have to if you've already
- 48:32Speaker 3: invited Beyonce.
- 48:33Speaker 2: Oh, yes, no, And I want Solange is aesthetic. You
- 48:35Speaker 2: know she's gonna come.
- 48:37Speaker 3: To re decorate my whole Luisgi Mangione absolutely, Charlie.
- 48:42Speaker 4: XCX, Yes, because Robin think me somebody to play with it?
- 48:47Speaker 2: All right, and we've hit ten.
- 48:48Speaker 3: That's ten, Alice, Can you read down the list of
- 48:51Speaker 3: other people coming to this party? All right?
- 48:52Speaker 6: So Lacy's guests include Robin Thick, Malia Obama, Martha Stewart,
- 48:59Speaker 6: Stanley Tucci, Serena Williams, Beyonce Anderson Cooper Solange, Luigi Mangioni,
- 49:07Speaker 6: and Charlie XCX.
- 49:09Speaker 3: That seems like a decent party.
- 49:10Speaker 2: There's people for.
- 49:11Speaker 4: Each other, talk to a common interest to get the
- 49:14Speaker 4: age graps there.
- 49:15Speaker 2: You know you need drugs there, Well they'll be there,
- 49:18Speaker 2: you know if you need anything there.
- 49:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's going to be a very good party. Yeah,
- 49:22Speaker 3: you were very that was I felt like you were
- 49:24Speaker 3: selective and you were considerate. Yeah, not a bad list. Well,
- 49:29Speaker 3: you played that game very well. Ellis, do you have
- 49:31Speaker 3: a gift or a curse? We have to say if
- 49:33Speaker 3: it's a gift or a curse and why, and then
- 49:35Speaker 3: Ellis tells us if we're right or wrong.
- 49:37Speaker 6: Okay, all right, My gift to a curse is game nights.
- 49:42Speaker 3: Do you want to go or should I go?
- 49:43Speaker 2: Hmm?
- 49:44Speaker 3: No? Go?
- 49:45Speaker 4: Okay, I'm going to say that game nights are a gift. Okay,
- 49:51Speaker 4: and here's why, because a game night gets everyone together.
- 49:55Speaker 4: We're doing an activity I'm extremely competitive that is going
- 49:59Speaker 4: to bring.
- 50:00Speaker 2: Out It's gonna bring out the worst in me. You know,
- 50:03Speaker 2: if you're like doing a couple's game night.
- 50:06Speaker 4: I think it's even better because you get to really
- 50:08Speaker 4: see the cracks in the relationship, you know.
- 50:10Speaker 6: What I mean.
- 50:11Speaker 4: Like game nights a divorce pipeline, and what better way
- 50:14Speaker 4: to get it out than realizing that you don't have
- 50:17Speaker 4: a partner that you can do charades with. I think
- 50:20Speaker 4: game nights and that's entertainment for me. So I'm gonna
- 50:22Speaker 4: even more entertainment by watching your relationship disintegrate.
- 50:25Speaker 2: Or come together stronger than ever. Who knows. So I
- 50:27Speaker 2: love a game night. I think they're super fun.
- 50:30Speaker 3: All right. I think game night's a gift. I absolutely,
- 50:34Speaker 3: because you really it's like a really nice way to
- 50:36Speaker 3: figure out exactly who everyone is. You can find out
- 50:39Speaker 3: if somebody's a total bore, if somebody is an adult
- 50:42Speaker 3: who will cheat or get you know, have a fit
- 50:45Speaker 3: over losing, an adult who gets really intense. It's like
- 50:48Speaker 3: you're able to kind of parse out who's a real
- 50:50Speaker 3: friend and who's somebody that you can keep at arms Like.
- 50:53Speaker 2: And you get to it, why are you hating? Because
- 50:55Speaker 2: I'm winning, Yes, fun hater in a game night.
- 50:58Speaker 4: But if I see somebody sulking or getting real upset,
- 51:00Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, we got you might be a murderer.
- 51:02Speaker 2: We gotta get you out the friend.
- 51:03Speaker 3: Group, and you might get to ruin their nights, which
- 51:05Speaker 3: is such a lovely feeling. True, you get to really
- 51:08Speaker 3: commit to ruining somebody's evening. I think it's a gift, yes, gift.
- 51:12Speaker 2: No, it's a curse.
- 51:15Speaker 3: Invite. I don't know.
- 51:16Speaker 6: First of all, you gotta tell me what games we're playing,
- 51:18Speaker 6: like just general game night. We could be playing Settlers
- 51:21Speaker 6: of Catan for five hours and I don't want to
- 51:23Speaker 6: go to that.
- 51:24Speaker 2: Well you get invited to not the right one.
- 51:28Speaker 4: Oh no, baby, My game night's like listen, there's different
- 51:31Speaker 4: games for different people. I'm whooping ass on the spades table.
- 51:33Speaker 4: They call me doctor what ass? And me and my
- 51:36Speaker 4: space partner we got a relationship. If we start sucking up,
- 51:39Speaker 4: we start fighting.
- 51:39Speaker 2: But it's fine, you know what I mean.
- 51:41Speaker 4: Other people are playing, you know, for the beginners, Domino's
- 51:44Speaker 4: Connect for you know, Twister if you're freaky, you know,
- 51:48Speaker 4: like no, but Catan, no, no, no, no, no no
- 51:51Speaker 4: no no no no. And we're not playing Scrabble either,
- 51:53Speaker 4: too slow. And no Monopoly lestime I played that. My
- 51:55Speaker 4: cousin Jemonica cut.
- 51:56Speaker 3: Me Monopoly is out. I think we've all kind of
- 52:00Speaker 3: finally acknowledged monopolies the worst.
- 52:02Speaker 2: And it's supposed to feel that way because that's how
- 52:04Speaker 2: capitalism feels.
- 52:05Speaker 3: Yes, it's supposed to feel bad. Oh interesting.
- 52:09Speaker 4: Yes, Monopolo was created by a woman to show the
- 52:12Speaker 4: ills of capitalism, and then they stole it and they
- 52:15Speaker 4: were like, this is a fun game and did exactly
- 52:18Speaker 4: the and that's why it's monopoly is not fun when
- 52:21Speaker 4: someone has the monopoly because all you do is paying
- 52:23Speaker 4: out money to every time you land on board.
- 52:26Speaker 3: Yeah, no, thank you, tell us two against one year. Wrong.
- 52:29Speaker 3: All right, this is the final segment of the podcast.
- 52:32Speaker 3: It's called I said no emails. People are writing into
- 52:34Speaker 3: I said no gifts at gmail dot com. They just
- 52:36Speaker 3: have all sorts of questions. We hope me answer a
- 52:38Speaker 3: question of course. All right, this is Hybridge or in guest.
- 52:41Speaker 3: My name is frank and I hate going by the
- 52:43Speaker 3: name Frankie. Recently at work, there's been a lot of
- 52:46Speaker 3: people who have started calling me Frankie. I have no
- 52:49Speaker 3: problem gently correcting them. However, my dilemma is that I
- 52:52Speaker 3: think it's real goofy when people do a mobster esque
- 52:55Speaker 3: nickname for me. For example, Frankie two shoes. I'm looking
- 52:59Speaker 3: for ace on how to handle this without coworkers thinking
- 53:02Speaker 3: I'm singling them out by correcting their use of Frankie,
- 53:05Speaker 3: but not someone else's important information. We wear name tags, mine,
- 53:09Speaker 3: says frank I've worked there for months. I do not
- 53:12Speaker 3: want to have to explain the whole spiel every time
- 53:15Speaker 3: it comes up. I love your pod, thank you. Oh okay,
- 53:17Speaker 3: that's important, very important. They love the podcast best. That's
- 53:20Speaker 3: from frank. She her. So, Frankie does not want to
- 53:22Speaker 3: be called Frankie, and the entire staff apparently has kind
- 53:26Speaker 3: of joined forces to be annoying. How do we get
- 53:30Speaker 3: them to stop calling her frank Key Frankie without making.
- 53:34Speaker 2: Everybody feel her name is frank her name.
- 53:37Speaker 3: Is frank and leave her alone. Stop calling her Frankie especially,
- 53:41Speaker 3: don't call her Frankie two shoes or Frankie frank name tages.
- 53:48Speaker 3: But if you had, if you were working retail, you
- 53:50Speaker 3: want somebody calling you Frankie two shoes.
- 53:53Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind it.
- 53:55Speaker 4: Oh, oh, frank because I'm gonna call you which mama
- 54:00Speaker 4: frank which I do think is a very cool name
- 54:02Speaker 4: for a girl.
- 54:03Speaker 3: It's a great name. I love the name Frank for anything.
- 54:05Speaker 4: And I could I get why, like taking away the
- 54:08Speaker 4: coolness of Frank as a woman a special would be frustrated,
- 54:12Speaker 4: making it kind of cute now, Frankie, See damn it,
- 54:15Speaker 4: I did it, Frank, Frankly Frank, That's what I've been
- 54:19Speaker 4: to saying, Frank.
- 54:20Speaker 2: This was hard for me.
- 54:21Speaker 4: Because Frank, I'm starting to sense that maybe you have
- 54:24Speaker 4: a personality that people enjoy because I hate right, Like
- 54:31Speaker 4: if I don't like seeing you at work, I'm not
- 54:32Speaker 4: gonna be like Frankie shoes, you know what I mean?
- 54:36Speaker 2: Like, if I hate you, you get your government name
- 54:38Speaker 2: said and barely unless you have to.
- 54:40Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, it's Stewart on our shift.
- 54:43Speaker 4: Like we're not calling Stuart stew We fucking hate Stewart.
- 54:45Speaker 4: But if we love you, Frank, I could see how
- 54:48Speaker 4: people might have made it Frankie and freaking bout a moment,
- 54:52Speaker 4: Freakie a hit man and I and I'm sure this
- 54:54Speaker 4: is giving the crunch the whole time.
- 54:55Speaker 2: Frank. I'm so sorry. I don't know if there is
- 54:57Speaker 2: a way for you to not seem like a killed.
- 55:00Speaker 4: Joy to explain to everyone who clearly likes you that
- 55:04Speaker 4: you would like to be called Frank.
- 55:07Speaker 3: Right, this feels like an impossible situation. It's hard because
- 55:11Speaker 3: if you make a big announcement, it's like people are like,
- 55:13Speaker 3: why are you making such a big deal, loser? If
- 55:15Speaker 3: you start correcting people all the time, and they must
- 55:19Speaker 3: love Frank, they must. Maybe she puts this over the
- 55:24Speaker 3: overhead speakers this episode. Maybe this gets through to everybody.
- 55:28Speaker 3: Maybe she starts recommending the podcast. We get more listenings.
- 55:31Speaker 4: Yeah, and then yeah, you recommend I said no gifts,
- 55:33Speaker 4: and then tell them this episode and there's something in
- 55:36Speaker 4: there for them, a gift for them.
- 55:39Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a kind of mutually beneficial for everybody here.
- 55:43Speaker 3: Frank gets her wish. My listener's increase by at least four,
- 55:48Speaker 3: and what a huge win for everybody.
- 55:52Speaker 2: Do you all have team meetings at your job?
- 55:55Speaker 3: Oh? Interesting? Or do you want them to be brought
- 55:57Speaker 3: up in a team meeting.
- 55:58Speaker 2: Maybe like a happy hour? I feel like if it's
- 56:02Speaker 2: like you could be.
- 56:03Speaker 4: Like random, but hey, y'all, my name is Frank, and
- 56:07Speaker 4: I really would appreciate if y'all call me Frank, and
- 56:09Speaker 4: that of mop's the name.
- 56:10Speaker 6: I know.
- 56:10Speaker 4: This is so petty and I love you all, but
- 56:12Speaker 4: please call me Frank because I like to be called
- 56:15Speaker 4: by my name. Is that cool?
- 56:17Speaker 3: Or I don't know.
- 56:17Speaker 4: Maybe you reverse psychology them and you start giving them
- 56:20Speaker 4: nicknames that they hate until they get to the point
- 56:22Speaker 4: when they start calling you by your real name. You
- 56:24Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like Clay comes in and you're like, oh,
- 56:27Speaker 4: Clay to clip clipto play right.
- 56:30Speaker 3: They just start basically accusing people of crimes, lose the job,
- 56:35Speaker 3: and then hope that your next job everyone hates you.
- 56:38Speaker 3: That feels right to me, or embrace it too hard,
- 56:41Speaker 3: get your name name tag, change to Frankie, start calling
- 56:45Speaker 3: speaking in third person. It's Frankie. Frankie's here. People are
- 56:47Speaker 3: gonna be so annoyed they're gonna go back to frank.
- 56:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 56:51Speaker 4: I think the best strategy here would be a happy
- 56:53Speaker 4: hour or a team meeting where you just bring up
- 56:56Speaker 4: the pettiest of a grievance, and if you do it
- 56:59Speaker 4: in a very un serious way, I have something really
- 57:02Speaker 4: serious to bring up and they're like, Okay, it's not
- 57:04Speaker 4: that serious, guys.
- 57:05Speaker 2: Okay, y'all call me Frank because that's my name.
- 57:07Speaker 3: Could you show me It's just a small amount of respect.
- 57:10Speaker 2: I just want to call my name.
- 57:11Speaker 3: I love you.
- 57:11Speaker 2: Well, okay, Y'll call me Frank like.
- 57:14Speaker 4: These are really your only recourse. And unfortunately you can't
- 57:17Speaker 4: say what the consequences might be. It might be that
- 57:19Speaker 4: people are like, oh, Frank's so fun.
- 57:21Speaker 3: Yeah, Frank sucks, but you know you got to take
- 57:24Speaker 3: a chance if it means make fuss to you. Yeah. Well,
- 57:29Speaker 3: I think we answered the question perfectly. I think Frank's
- 57:31Speaker 3: problems are going to go away, and then hopefully we'll
- 57:36Speaker 3: never hear back from her. I don't know. Well, I've
- 57:39Speaker 3: got my TV, yes, and I am very excited to
- 57:43Speaker 3: see what happens with this little thing. And I've just
- 57:45Speaker 3: had such a lovely time with you.
- 57:47Speaker 2: I've had a great time with too, Vigo.
