  Speaker 1: But 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. I already had too much stuff,

  Speaker 3: I didn't let that stop me from getting here. My
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: mom still has not returned my phone call from yesterday,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: so I assume we're over. Last week, I had to
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: rent a car. We rented a Dodge charger. If you're
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: not familiar with a Dodge charger, it's kind of the
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: car you buy to let people know that you have
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: a jukebox in your basement. And so if anyone saw
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: me driving, I was in the passenger seat. If you
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: saw me driving around, that's the real me. No, we
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: have the Patreon. What do I always say like that,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: like it's a sad thing that we've got the Patreon.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Join us on the Patreon. We're having the time of
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: our life. I just bought a dress from Whitney Rose
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. If you want
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: to see me in the dress, I mean that alone.
• 1:49

• 2:03
  Speaker 3: You're too welcomed. I said, no gifts.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Such an honor.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I you know, I have so much to talk about
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: and so little to talk about. I don't know how
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: you two are in town for just a few days, correct.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I just do need to hear about the birds though?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Is that No, they're outside the house. I think they're
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: making a nest.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: It's a threat, It's what it is.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: It's an absolute threat to me. You know. I was
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: leaving to come to the podcast, and I saw these birds,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: and I thought, should I get up on the roof
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: and deal with them now? And I thought, that feels
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: like on the roof. That feels like that.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: It's like a jump to here to one hundred.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, this crossed my mind, and I thought, well, no,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I have a schedule. Listeners have tried to diagnose me
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: with ADHD and things like this where I'm like, oh,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I'm supposed to be going to my job right now,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and I'm thinking about getting on the roof to deal
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: with birds. Could be a signal that there's something going on, and.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: We would have understood if you got a message like
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: there was a bird. I was like, got it understood,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: No more words needed.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Her hat goes on the roof and she has to
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: go chase after it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: She doesn't go on the roof. What you do when
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the cat's on the roof pebbles on it? I tried that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: It's idea.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I just mostly post about it and then get in
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: big trouble with people who are like, I can't believe
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you would let your cat on the I'm like, I
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: didn't do it on purpose. You're not put him there.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: People are getting after you. Stop wagging your fingers.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Wagging me how often on the room. Maybe he's saving
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: me from all these birds nests that are allegedly being
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: built in my vicinity. I don't know, Listen, he's just
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: he likes to be free.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I feel like a roof is a perfectly natural place
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: for a cat to you cat on.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: We've got a cold sleep, roof.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got theater based around the concert.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: It must be interesting at some level.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Is your cat an entirely outdoor cat?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: No, he's not supposed to be out there at all.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: He's really the beginning of.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah problem he's he's yeah, he's a big problem. He
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: he's lived many lives, I think, and he's dark energy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dark energy in way. Well he's known as the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Old God.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just ominous.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: His vibes.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, my little sister named Hi that when she was
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a kid, and we all went.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a scary thing to hear from a child.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: We thought, well, we're not going to mess with that. So,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: oh boy, when he gets on the roof, none of
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: my business, you know, that's true.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: What's his name?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Juniper? We thought he was a girl, and then we
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: didn't want to be transphobic and like change. And then
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the vet was like this, these are testicles, and we
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: were like, oh, okay, well we're not going to change
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: a name. Like and then he became the Old God
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and now Juniper doesn't quite fit the vibe.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: But Juniper is a nice gender neutral name, I say, yeah,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: and it does feel a little Old God issue, true
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: kind of an old god of the American West from LA.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I think, right? Yeah, is he a rescue from La?
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: How did that happen? We used to live We used
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: to live here. Oh yeah, let's get off bus, am
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I right now? We revealed we're in Las Vegas.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: We didn't live there. We've been there, who know, we
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: haven't lived there?
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, So he was rescued from LA and then was
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: dragged back to Ohio.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: That's where all the problems began.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Actually Kentucky for her. Oh, technically it's worse.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Technically, Oh boy, I know we.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Have to make that distinction because I don't want people
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: to think I live in Kentucky.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Because I don't.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: He lives ten minutes for me.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: But yeah, right across the river. Wow, and this is
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: a big problem between the two of you.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so glad we're here to discuss.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: When you grow up somewhere where Kentucky has looked down upon,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: and then your sister moves to Kentucky, you get very confused.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: My niece is from Kentucky. Oh, I just trash, Kentucky trash.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: He's four years oldest, complete, not living under that tin roof.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: It's like it's dilapidated everything.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: It's just awful. I'm not familiar. I've never been to Kentucky.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I want to hear some horrible things about Kentucky. I
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: don't know a couple of nice things. What's so wrong
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: with Kentucky?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: What isn't going on in Kentucky?
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Going to school in Cincinnati, growing up there, high school
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: and everything. If you're from Kentucky for some reason, that's
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: a negative.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: So you just kind of like you just don't like it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Same was Ohio, Michigan. You were born not to like
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: it certain places.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I feel not good.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: That's a very limited perspective. And like, after you know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: living in this expansive town of Los Angeles, I would
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: have thought you'd like broaden your horizons a little bit.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And we went to private Catholic school, which is a
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: big part of our problems also, Okay, and I feel
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: like the fact that you're still judging where I live
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: based on our outdated Catholic upbringing is a little problematic
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: I'm two years younger, so I'm still processing. My therapy
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: is a little bit behind. Right. Let me get there,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: give me, give me a little bit to catch up.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Please, In the meantime, Kentucky's pretty bored anyway. I don't know.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: There's horses and stuff.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: But Christina, as someone who lives in Kentucky's say some
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: bad things about Kentucky. You're the authority. I didn't say
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: one good things. What would you say is the true
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: problem with Kentucky. I want to cause some trouble for you.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I thought the cat was going to be the biggest
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: of my cancelations today. Now the people, oh, that's probably about.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: It, so careful about it, And you're like, well, everyone,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: the human beings who live there are awful.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: They're part of the problem, right, The people.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Are part of the problem. In every city, fair enough,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: in every star enough is there is the that's what?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: What's something that could be bad? That's not so tough?
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Horses to.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: A lot of horse horse culture not really my vice.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Okay, how often are you riding a horse growing up?
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I'm certainly too much, too much, too much, maybe twice.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Which too she's thinking about like ponies. I think I
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: don't know that we ever wrote a.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Hole It almost it almost threw me off. Where was
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: this probably in Kentucky, I don't remember.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Was like a core memory. You have no idea what happened.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: No, I have a weird thing with my memories where
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: I remember nothing from our childhood. It's for very specific things,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: and then she remembers everything and has to teach me
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: what we went.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Through as children. But I do remember the horse.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I was on the back of a horse and there
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: was a loud noise and the horse kind of like bucked.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: It got spooked.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I had to hold on for dear life,
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: and I did. And I never rode a horse again.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: You were benning from horsem I went vegan after that. Actually,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I was like I can't.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: I gotta get on their good side.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: No, and Christina, you've never been on a horse.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I mean apparently I have. I don't recall she hasn't.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Been on a horse. Sure you weren't you on a
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: horse in China? Yeah? A horse in China. You went on.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: You went all the way to China, get up to
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: get home.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I was on the Silk Road and my dad, our dad,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: so another whole thing. He took me to China one
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: time with his business partners, okay, because they're all off Chinese,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: and I didn't know what was going on because I
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: don't speak Chinese. And we went to the Silk Road
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: and they said, okay, now we're all getting on. Well,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: they didn't say anything, they said something in Chinese and
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: then everyone climbed on a horse, and my dad was not.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: He forgot I was there, so I kind of had
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: to figure it out. And I got on a horse
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and then this old man fell off his horse and
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: it was very funny.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: And I wasn't there.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't allowed to go.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I was busy interning at an insurance company in Ohio.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Said I would way prefer that international trip. It was exciting.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we're just processing a lot of trauma here today.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Where were the horse? And thank you for the apology?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Where were the horses riding in China?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Was it just like anna were going up like this
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: mountain and they said no cars allowed? And I said okay,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So I got on the horse and then Carl fell
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: off it and he had this backscratch that he had
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: bought at a market earlier that day, and he fell
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and broke his backscratcher.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: It was all very well, Oh my god.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: I was like, I don't remember that part.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: No, I laughed. Remember it wasn't that bad I'd laugh.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: If he broke his back.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I love Carl, but.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I would laugh.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: How long were you in China for? Oh?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Wow, that was like a long too long.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I think it was a couple of weeks, right, that's
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: like two weeks.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, that sounds incredible.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I was in Shanghai for one day and I woke
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: up the next morning and like blew my nose and
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: it was all black like that because you breathe in
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: there all right, of course, And I don't know if
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: this is for me my allergies. I'm too like fragile,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: you know. And then the horse situation, I thought, I can't,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I can't make this work.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I had. I just the only time I've been to
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: China was a layover and I couldn't use social media.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: That was my big experience.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: That part was weird too.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, probably for the better. Yeah, for those thirty
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: minutes that I was just forced to be bored in China.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: That sounds traumatic as well.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: It was very difficult not being on inta. Where were
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: you going to Tokyo?
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Oh cool, that sounds cooler than my thing.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Oh no, it's well, okay. China's are very careful, like
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: over a billion people. A billion people and Kentucky. That's tough. Okay,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: So I want to continue talking about this rivalry between
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Ohio and Kentucky. Oh yeah, how often you are like
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: restaurant wise, when you're going out to dinner? Do you
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: because you're ten minutes away? Do you ever go to
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Kentucky to go out to eat?
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: I do go to certain cafes down there, certain lunch spots,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I admit it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I do. Okay, I'm guilty of that. This is this
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: sort of thing where you can just hop state to
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: state is not familiar to amazing. It seems like such
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: a fascinating experience. That also means nothing.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: We also have Southeast Indiana that we al another like
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: ten minutes.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: They call us the Tri State.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: So the Tri State, we love, the Try State.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I lived in New York briefly, and everyone's saying
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: the Try State. I'm like, that's not We're over yeah
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: a little bit horses there.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: And now none of us has any stake in Indiana,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: so we can all say something horrible now Indiana, Yeah
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I haven't. I also haven't been there, so I can't
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: really speak. Probably the people's it's the people, the people
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: from Indiana.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Just clip that online and cancelsure.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: What's that all about?
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: How after are you going to Indiana?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Never?
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Never, No.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: I did an internship there where I would drive two
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: hours just one way to work for four hours, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: then drive two hours back to Cincinnati.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: It was a cool record. It was a record like
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: other insurance company.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I got paid in records, so I didn't actually make
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: any money, which joyful noise, Oh, sure, of course.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: That's insurance company. And then joyful noise.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Again, it's part of all our Yeah, we can diagnose
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you also, because we're pretty qualified for that, I think.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've diagnosed each other our entire lives, and we
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: were always right.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Everything's right. Yeah, it's a lot of things.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: How did you end up interning for an insurance company?
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: My dad knew a guy.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Okay, classic story, and I ended up being on the
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: floor with no other interns. So I was on the
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: licensing floor, and that just made me realize, oh, this
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: was a favor.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Like there, I don't really belong with the other interns.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: And so I was the only one on that floor
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: and they gave me a bunch of work to do
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: in Excel, and I did it all within a month,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: and I had two more months left and they didn't
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: know what to do with me, so they just gave
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: me as much busy work as they could. Meanwhile, she
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: was in China and I was sorry you were Cincinnati.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: My one internship. I was separated from the interns.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: It's like demoralized.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: It's a very odd feeling. Initially you're like, oh, I'm
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm special. And then you're like, oh, I'm
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: just being tortured by my bosses because I have no
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: one to relate.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And now you're in the middle of both, and it's like, well, yeah, I'm.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: In no world. No world will have.
• 13:53

  Speaker 3: Of course. Yeah, and you were. You had your nose
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: to the grindstone and.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: So hard because for my future and insurance.

  Speaker 2: Up in l A obviously.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you two are just in l A for
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: a few days. Are you doing anything fun while you're here?
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Mostly?
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: This the most fun I was. I was fishing for that.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, easy one, easy, lowball. What
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: else are we up to?
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: We like to stay in our hotel room.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Do you watch hotel TV? Yes?
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we watched c SPAN about alien that.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: What's going on? You have no idea? I really don't.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I'm a little nervous to say it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: They're here, they.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: The government knows of pilots and organic beings somewhere.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Our managers having like a full She's like, something's wrong.
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: Clients are Kentucky, outer space, all the aliens, everything in
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: the universe. No, they have like testifying, these these professionals
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: testifying to what they saw covering up.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Everything changed when Ohio got recreational weed. Okay, life's a
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: lot more fun. And so sometimes when we travel we
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: just sit in the hotel we watch c SPAN.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: But it's c SPAN and it's they're talking about aliens'
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: real like congressional hearings about aliens.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: We keep having these things. I feel like this is
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: now an annual thing where someone who seems fairly with
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: it is saying I know about aliens, and then nothing happens.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: We don't see anything else about it, and we're all like, Okay,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: then they're here and then it changes literally nothing, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: then we wait till the next year where uh Tom
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: DeLong shows back in Congress. When do we get the
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: photos or the videos or when do we get to
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: talk to.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Isn't that always a question? When do we have photos?
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: May we already have we just don't know enough enough.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: There's the teasing. I know, the teaser campaign for aliens
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: has got to come to an They're either here or
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: they're not.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Let's move on, let's get it together.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I saw a headline like a week ago that was
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: like if this is if this is all disclosed, the
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: economy will collapse because there will no longer be any
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: trust in the government.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Right right, there's a lot of that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Right It's like, what are we talking about? Yes, in
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: the greenlands, but I just if there's evidence, then I
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: just don't understand what's the end of there's the endgame here? Who, Like,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: what are they talking about right now on c SPAN,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Like what are they saying organic beings or is there
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: a sentience.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: But they said not they are not Like I forget
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: what they said.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: They're not extra terrestrial.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: They are because, oh, because we don't know if they're
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: from not.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Of this Earth, India.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: They could be interdimensional.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: And this guy says it on c SPAN and I'm like, okay,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: it's not the recreational it really this guy says on
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: s SPAN, like in the army.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: They may be from another dimension, or they may be
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: from another planet. It feels more likely they're from another dimension.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: It feels we don't understand everything. I don't understand anything,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: understand most things.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: But not this. And yet they're they've whoever's experienced them.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: It really has changed nothing except for they get to
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: be on c SPAN, Right, what else is affected? I
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: don't know. They got to meet AOC. AOC was there.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: That was Tom along probably too, at least in the audience.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I just I'm so mystified by the entire thing. I think.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the government, I think is they claim that the
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: government's withholding because of certain technologies that they're gaining access to,
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: and they don't other countries to gain access to certain technologies.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: If I sound so insane right.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: By the way, I'm usually one and when I showed
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: him the Sea Span, he went down a rabbit hole
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: and I went, oh, I probably shouldn't have sent him
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: down there, but.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: More than I would have been like, this is all bullshit.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: And then I watched one thing like two hours of
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Sea Span. I was like, I'm in But yeah, they
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: think they have certain weapons, technology, et cetera that they
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: want to be able to use and they don't want
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: other people to use.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: But it's all like four tightly. I mean, like the
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: biggest secret keepers on Earth have access to this because
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I just don't believe, like we have the biggest blabber
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: mouth in the world and controvel of the country, Like why,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I just feel like somebody.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: They're sending him on side quests like Greenland's. I think
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: they're just like, go like play outside, and he's playing
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: outside right now, bullying everybody, and it's like, meanwhile, the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: grown ups are keeping the secrets. Listen. I don't know.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I don't just like, if I knew, I feel like
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: telling you.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Everybody, I know, I don't know how you'd keep that.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: You're using this great technology, whatever it is, what is it?
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: We're all podcasters. I think we're the last people that
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: would give the secrets of Alien University.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: But I think the technology that I would want is
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: have you ever played The Sims?
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Of course in the Sims, they have those showers.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: We just walk in and it just like cleans your
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: body and it's like these things, Now, that's what I want.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't want to get wet. I just
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: want to like go in and be clean.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: I would want the Sims technology. When you pee, your
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: pants are suddenly in just a giant puddle and you're crying.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think naturally.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: No, Usually it's a much slower thing. In the airport,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: my pants are we I'm looking for a place to
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: switch clothes or the like having a baby by like
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: crawling around under the sheets of your bed. That feels. Yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: What other things do the Sims do? Yeah, they get
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: trapped in rooms but forget to eat.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: And there's a whole dumpster diving like expansion and it
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: was a dumpster. Yeah. I made a character after her
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: and who just all everything that she got was out
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: of the dumpsters.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: She lives in Kentucky. Yeah, on the roof on her dumpster. Like,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: do either of you still play The Sims?
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it's been it's probably been at least a year,
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: but definitely within the past couple of years.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a huge source of conflict between my
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: sister and I, you know, because we had one computer
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: and it was highly addictive, and you know, it just
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: led to fight after fight.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the drum? Are you older? Younger?
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Older? Okay and less immature? Perhaps?
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what that's like.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: So there was a was there fighting between you about
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: the Sims or that.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Was fighting between everything everything?
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: But so yeah, definitely computer time. I'm sure I played
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: a lot of RuneScape. That was very important to me.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Right, I mocked a lot of rooms and mocked.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that feels like an easy tar really.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: I played more recently than the Sims actually made it.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, did you I asked this of people a lot,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: do you Did you ever have physical fights a siblings
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: as like kids?
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Interesting because my friend had asked, when was the last
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: time you you punched someone? I went, honestly, it was
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: probably my brother.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't know, I spit in her hair once.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: He spit in my hair and my mom laughed and I've.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Never got because she was telling me not to spit
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: in her hair and I was like, but what if
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: And then I've got a great idea. Yeah, and I did.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Mom thought it was hilarious. No, that was bad.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: So I call that physical aggression.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: That was That was that was pretty rough. I mean
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: it was like I was like twenty one at that point.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Twenty one.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, oh my god, you scared me. I was like,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: that can't be true. We were chilled, right, Yeah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I feel like our physical fights probably stopped at around twelve.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I think that's why together a little bit.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, I asked because I remember my siblings
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: and I frequently physically pulling, pulling hair, pinching, wrestling on
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: the floor, not so much like punching in the face.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, but there was like a weird animalistic physicality
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: to it. There's yeah, and you were mad at each
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: other trying to hurt each other, which is so crazy,
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: and you.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Probably could have, like I think about him.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Actually yeah, well, I mean speaking of physically fighting and
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: just wanting to hurt people. The podcast is called I said,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: no gifts. You two are podcasters. I would think of
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: you as professionals. Stake. I was looking forward to I
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: make a lot of them. I was looking forward to
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: you to being here today. And then I come to
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: the studio, I get here, Ellis, our producer, comes in
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: kind of pulls me aside and says, I'm so sorry.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: They have a gift. I asked Elis to step out
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: and close the door, just did some breathing exercises, and
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: now we're here. You brought a gift to the podcast.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: We said we wouldn't apologize.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, sibling sibling promise. My bad cut that out.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Honestly to be, it's kind of a plus for us
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: and a gift for us because we're getting the chance
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: to share our culture. It's a cultural gift. It's more
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: like a cultural exchange. I mean, I wouldn't say exchange
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: because we don't get much in return here. I got
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: a nice coffee, but we at least are sharing our
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: culture with you.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, well that's a horrible excuse, but I'm happy to
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: open it here on the show as well. It's in
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: this kind of beautiful brown bag. It's lying flat on
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: the table with an exciting tissue coming out of it.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Hand it to me and I'll open it here on
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: the show. This is embarrassing for all of us. I
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: hope no one has their volume up too loud. Dog is,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: windows are shattering.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: It's all our fault.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, reaching this one, you got to get them all
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: out good, Okay, reaching. Oh it's a book. Okay, whoa.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I don't even know how to pronounce this. I'll try though,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: strewe well, Peter, let me try to do that. Truthful.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: That's very good.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: It was a weaker German and this was one of
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: our childhood books that was read to us. It's very
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: cautionary tales. Have you heard of these things?
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, are they essentially like fairy tales? But someone
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: dies at the end of children? A lot of children
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: die right uh for the listener. It's a beautiful cover
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: and also horrifying. It's yellow, has the difficult word to pronounce,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: and then essentially the most evil woman alive.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Oh it's a man.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a man that's headed Peter translation translation peterheaded.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: I can't translate that anymore than that.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: R you know what it means. But he's got like
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: a he's got a lot of hair that's shocking coming
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: at it, and then very long fingernails. He's wearing essentially
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: a tunic with a it's a snappy tunic with a
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: belt correct, cinched at the waist and very short legs. Correct.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I think they kind of got excited about all the
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: other stuff.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, got what So is he like the protagonists come
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: for you will? I mean he's terrifying threat.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, no, he's he's a threat. He's I think
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: the first story is just him, and then the rest
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: are all completely different. So I think he's only in
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: the first story.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: If you want to look at page thirteen, that's the
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: page that I think like gives the best visual description
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: of the kind of stories in here.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: I love. It's a new book, so I love pages.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: It's from a local bookstore.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Familiar, it's right, correct? Yeah, Oh I know that place.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: I made my producer go by it because we were
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: at the hotel watching seats and I went pickure up
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: some gift wrapped.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: H because she forgot hurt copy at home.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: That's how I buy all of my gifts. Ellis I
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: need a gift.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: From my mom?
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, this is page thirteen. Oh is this is his
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: origin store.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: No, this is a totally different so we've already moved past.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: He's just the main like store, the first story, and
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: then the rest are just different children misbehaving. This is
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: how we learned not to This is how I learned
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: not to suck my thumb, because as you can see,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: his thumbs have been cut.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Off a little little suck a thumb, a little suck
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: at thumb. That's his name, suck a thumb.

  Speaker 3: See the blood of course, the taylor with kind of
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: a scissor that you would do for a grand opening
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: of a grocery store.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Car dealer. Yeah, exactly, but now he has no thumbs left.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: And is this like, are they just very short stories?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just like little ce poems.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Cute is not the word it used for any of these.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: What I want to see some of the other.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: So does this give you insight into kind of our
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: whole thing.

  Speaker 3: Stories He's just read to German children like it's a
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: normal thing. Yeah, I mean kids. Originally we read this.

  Speaker 2: Can I get one little fun anecdote?
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Please?
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: He went times room at our grandpa's house. Our grandpa
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: famously just didn't like like people, or children or women.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: He so he had seven daughters, so that went well.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: And then my brother went to live with him for
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: a while. And one day my brother was in his
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: room and saw an envelope.
• 30:24

• 30:33
  Speaker 4: but it was like thousands of euro and I'm like,
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: what the hell? So I gave it to him and
• 30:37

• 30:40
  Speaker 4: don't know, one hundred euro or something.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: He's like, oh good. He was testing me And I'm like, whoa,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: this is straight out of this book. And I'm like,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: what did he expect? Like, I'm not that dumb.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: It was like also like over a month after I
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: moved in, as if I wouldn't see a thing of
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: cash lying on the floor under the radiator.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: What like scenario is he's setting you up for there?

• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: I get I don't know, but well, okay, this this
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: might give a little insight. He put an alarm outside
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: my door so whenever I walked by it was motion sensor.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: That was a motion sensor.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: It would make a loud ding dong so he could
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: hear when I left my room and came back.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Whoa. He was not a good person. I want to
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: hear more stories about this person. Is there anything good

• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Bathrooms and in home, urinal is always a rent flag. Yeah.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: It was one of those things where once I used it,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: I was like, I can get used to this, but
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: I never want to install this might like that seems.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: I don't want people to come into my bathroom and
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: be like, oh, there's a urinal there.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, like you're not liking women. That's such a thing.

• 32:09
  Speaker 4: don't know how he feels like he thinks that probably
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: based on just me living with him.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: But no, he was.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: We would like go sit in cafes and people watch.
• 32:20

• 32:22
  Speaker 4: and what whatnot. Some good times just like hanging out.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: It was usually when we weren't talking that it was
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: really good.

  Speaker 4: play each other.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: He has one son named after him, who's the fourteenth
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: of the lineage fourteen. Let's just say there's some complicated
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: speaking of sibling dynamics.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think that seven of them could eight of
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: them could start a podcast. It would be really bad.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: So wait, they're eight children total. He had seven daughters
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: in a row, and it's like I've got to have

  Speaker 2: Am I allowed to say the other part?
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: Or no?

  Speaker 2: He's also gay, he's.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, you shouldn't say that. Grandpa's gay. Yeah, well, pink bathroom.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Much like like I didn't realize I was bisexual until

  Speaker 4: two years ago because of internalized homophobia that cut off.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: That man was raising fucking Nazi Germany. I can't imagine.

  Speaker 4: He would come every day in like the break room.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: He'd complain about my family, my sister, my oh, my stepdad.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: He does not like our stepdad. Our stepdad stood up
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: to him once.

• 34:55
  Speaker 2: some reason, but he witnessed all this and he's like,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I think we should go. So we had to like
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: leave out the back do or because they were throwing furniture.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: And the next morning they're like, hey, are you guys
• 35:02

• 35:04
  Speaker 2: was just like drinking coffee and I was like, I
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: can't live like this, live like this growing.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: And our step. He's like a very mild manner, like
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: very like soft spoken man, and he was driven to that. Yeah,

  Speaker 4: and I don't blame driven to mat.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Cherry Springer level. Yeah.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, the chair it's still a little funky. They still
• 35:23

  Speaker 4: on it and you're like, whoa, that leg's about to
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: give out.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: And it's now got this memory tied to anytime you
• 35:30

• 35:34
  Speaker 3: what sort of books did your mom want us to chry?

  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Go ahead? I was just going to say.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: I also played a lot of table tennis when I
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: was there. Interesting, Yeah, oh I haven't seen it, But
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: I didn't even know about table tennis until like reviews
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: started coming out, like oh, yes, this looks right up
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: my alley tennis heavy also very judgmental of table tennis
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: media because I played competitively in college. I don't want
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: to rip, right, but yeah, and so when I see
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: these like show and I'm like, that's not how the
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: ball moves. And also it's not how the rules work,
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: they get on their side so much like that doesn't work.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Well, you've had to go and certify it.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: You know what that should be a job someone like
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: it's like some sort of script coordinator but sitizer, but
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: it's for table tennis specifically.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: The most annoying person to ever guess, Yeah, and it
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: would be me, and I welcome very very good at it.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: I would be so good at that.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: I once made a documentary about his competitive table tennis
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: team college.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: We went to college in DC and I had a
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: class I studied journalism broadcasting and I had a class
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: on sports media. And I'm not really equipped for this,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: and they said, well, you have to do it. You
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: have to find a do a final project. And my
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: brother just joined a table tennis club at GW, so
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: I said, okay, I'll do a sports documentary and I
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: went to their competition in Marylands.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Due, Maryland, Yeah, and all lost.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: I was really dramatic and I made it. I turned
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: it into kind of more of like a like a
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Bravo adjacent I mean, for what for months? It's great
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: though my perspective twenty years ago. But it was like
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: this guy Neil was like feeling down and he was
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: kind of starting to cry. And then my brother was
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: all mad because nobody was following the rules, and I
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: got all the like kind of drama, and then my
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: teacher was like, this is not about the sport, and
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I know, but it's.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: Like better, you know, And I got to be it
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: was pretty good.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: That feels like an HM, may thank you. That's an
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: original take on a bunch of annoying losers like everyone
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: else bad. No, you're not wrong, You're not wrong.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: It's exactly right. That was the name of the documentary,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: but an interesting take.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: On a bunch of Do you still have a documentary?
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: I ended up removing it from YouTube because someone found
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: it was so racist. I mean, honestly, at this point,
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know what if I want to
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: stand by whatever I said fifteen years ago, I know
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of zooming in on my brother's face.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it would be like people talking about like, oh, like,
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: we got to take this seriously, and then it's like
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: all me being all serious. And then the guy who
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: was like kind of the clown of it all was
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: trying to make everyone laugh. But then he was like
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: taking it pretty seriously. Boy like didn't want people.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: To know, disappointed himself, and there was something there. I
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: tell you what, I had, something I had.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: The professionals were great.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: She would take this aside and like just ask this question, what.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Do you really feel about my brother?
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And I was I'm the one who was like,
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: they're not taking this seriously enough. I need them to focus.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: And then I lost every single game I played.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: I didn't win a single You were focused on the
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: wrong thing. You should have just gotten in there and
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: been part of the game rather than criticized. Yeah. I

• 47:58
  Speaker 7: What it was.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's too bad.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: I thought you had to set the record straight though

  Speaker 2: on the podcast.
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Wow, Well is there anything left to say about Let
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: me try again. Now, I'm gonna really try shroupin' Peter,
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: shrovel Peter. Yeah.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: If you look at the first page, it describes him
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: like just individual. It might not be the first page,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: but it has his image and color, and I think
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: that you'd be remiss to not see the first page.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: Has got a gorgeous angel and beautiful children. Oh, here
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: we go. Then there's a note. Let's well, let's first
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: look at this.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: This is the devil, shockheaded Peter.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: That's uh.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: He does have a low center gravity now that I
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: can't see it now.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's all torso. But it says just look at him.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: There he stands with his nasty hair and hands. See
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: his nails are never cut, they are grimmed as black
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: as soot, and the Slovan I declare never once has
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: combed his hair. This is a hit piece. Anything to
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: me is sweeter than to see shock headed Peter who
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: like perspective, whose perspective.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Is that That's what I don't understand. It's like, is that,
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: am I it's going to become him? Am I perceiving
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: him like my kind.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: Of And Peter never gets a fair deal.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: No, And it's like, well, maybe he's never taught to
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: comb his hair.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, let us get to know him first, give
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: us neutral facts rather than this whole editorialized nastiness.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: It seems a little biased.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: Because I've only heard, like, before reading this book, I'd
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: heard that he was like a really like nice, got
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: pretty decent person, super good at table. I heard nothing
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: bad about him until this book came out and everything's changed.
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: And now it's like, Okay, we're focusing on the nails, Like,
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: it doesn't feel right to me.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the nails are are tough. I mean it's like
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: that lady. You remember the lady?
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: I remember that?
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, have to say anything else? The lady like thinking
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: of opening in his book of world records, Like, yeah,
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: i think it was all broke off in a car accident.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that's what happened, which.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: It feels right.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a cautionary tale.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what is she driving?
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: I think she was driving, probably trying to change the
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: radio with those things. Oh yeah, no, no, imagine that
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: being your the thing people know about you, and then
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: the breaking up the chorus.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: And being like, well, that's It's like when people who
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: do sports like break their leg and they're like, I'm done. Yeah,
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: I'm done.
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: I'm nothing. Yeah, Oh my god, thing's stark. Okay, let's
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: look at this. Note says dear Bridger. We are honored
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: to pass on our generational trauma. Welcome to the family,
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: Christine and Zandy. Uh yeah, it does feel a little
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: bit like uh, The Ring, Jason, I would say, yeah,
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: this evil person. I'm shock this hasn't been a movie.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: It has apparently, well I googled it earlier and it said, oh,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: that's been made into a theater play called Shockheaded Peter.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: And then I think it's been adapted into a movie.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: That's what the one of those movies that you would
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: get red box seven.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: And then it just kind of disappears from Bain situation.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm writing the movie next. Nobody steal that from me.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: I love it, We love I p.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: That Heinrich eighteen sixties. Of course, because friend knew it
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: was a gold mine. You know, we've got to get those.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: Couple of media empires friend of the original annoying executive.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: I think we should play a game. I love game.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: We're going to play Gift or a Curse. How would
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: you say that in German? Oh?
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Good question is gift shank which yeah, here's a present? Yeah,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: a curse. Yeah, that's one of those. I don't necessarily
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: Catholic kids.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: We weren't allowed to learn words like that, the worst words.
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: Right right, Well, we're going to play Gift or a Curse.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: I need a number between one and ten from you. Seven. Okay,
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: I have to do some light calculating to get our
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: game pieces. So right now, you can promote, recommend do
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: whatever you want. I'll be right back. Okay.
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: We do have recommendation is we host a podcast about
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: negative online reviews. So our recommendation is don't do that,
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: don't write those.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Oh that's our that's our premix today. Yeah, our podcast beach.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: Do you see any water to wet? If you actually
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: want to listen to it, it's uh, I don't. It's
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: more of this, so I don't blame you if it's
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: not your thing, but we do read one surveys from yelp, Yeah,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: of berg Heid and other places.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: Gorgeous everybody, go listen to the podcast. It's fun. We
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: have fun. It's such a good idea and I feel
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: like you guys have been copied by a lot of
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: people at this point, not successfully. I have no idea.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: I don't, but no, I think it's fun because we
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: do get to be like just we're siblings, so it's
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: like a unique thing and just like goofing off.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: And when we came up with it, we were like,
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: certainly someone's done this before, so we were actually very
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: shocked nobody had so we don't really take credit for that,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: but apparently we were the first one.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: And it's an endless well of complaining.
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: And you never don't need people to keep writing them
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: like people, you can stop.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: You don't have to.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can stop writing one ser that's okay, we
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: have plenty, don't worry.
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, this is how we play Gift or a Curse.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: I'm going to name three things. You're gonna tell me
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: if they're a gift or a curse and why, and
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: then I'll tell you if you're a right wrong, because
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: there are correct answer it and you have to you too,
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: have to decide between the two of you. Oh, and
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: we have to come to an agreement. Yes, yeah, we're
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: gonna be here a while. Uhh, that's how I extend
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: this podcast. I'm padding the podcast. Okay. This first one
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: is from a listener named Kelsey. Gift to a curse
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: when the server boxes up your leftovers for you. Oh okay,
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: I think, gift, Why I.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Don't you know when you slide it off the plate
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, the whole side of
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: the plate has like sauce on it, and you look
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: like you just don't know how to eat food, and
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: it's just sitting in front of you, and you're like, now,
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: I look like I don't know how to eat.
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: Make a mess moving food from the plate to my mouth, right,
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: let alone from my plate to another container that's not
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: my melt, because that I have a little more control,
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: Like it's just I'm used to that.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: But when I'm putting it into a box, it's also
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: very shaky and always shaking. Probably, And what's the correct answer,
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: You're wrong, curse, absolute curse. I do not trust them
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: taking that back to the kitchen. I'm not getting everything
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: on the plate. You think they're not scraping every bit
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: back into the box. They don't care about me. They
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: might be taking a bite or taking some home for themselves,
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: those selfish white step servers. The service industry is you
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: g littered with selfish, overpaid people. I take it back. Yeah,
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: write more one star reviews people. If this is what's happening,
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: that's true.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: It's really unaccepted.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: That's a thievery. No I want. I'm doing it myself.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: Bring me the box, I will. I'll make sure I
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: get every piece of spaghetti in there fair enough, all
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: of the sauce.
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: I would make you do it for me, like i'd
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: make someone else at my table. It's like weaponized, Like
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: I try not to do that, but this is one
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: of those things where I'm actually incompetent.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: You've got to practice at home. I'd rather not to
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: go boxes than to sit at the kitchen table. And
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: eventually you'll be so good at ten thousand hours. Is
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: that what? Yeah?
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: I think that's where it's something else.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: And imagine that after all that, you go out to
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: eat with some friends, how impressed they'll be when you.
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: But imagine the services. I'll go do that in the
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: back and he's like you.
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: Pull it out of their hands. My fund opportunity. I
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: was finally going to test it, follow them into the kitchen.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: Maybe it is a curse, right, okay, okay, well you've
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: gotten zero, right, so that feels that feels right? All right.
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: This next one is from a listener named Maura Nora. Well,
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: you know there might be a Mara out in the world.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: Is that a name anything?
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: A name.
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: Gift or a curse? When you have to confirm your
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: new password and the text box immediately tells you that
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: they don't.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Curse, I mean, this feels like a trick question.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: I don't care.
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: That makes me mad for no reason. I don't have
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: a good reason. Oh no, that's for my therapist thing.
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: Whenever I see that, I think, of course it doesn't
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: like it's not even I just started, you know, but
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: I guess how else would it work?
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: What I don't think is maybe alchemize that energy? Right,
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: So you're looking at what does that mean? You're looking
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: at it? You're going, how dare you? Computer? Instead you
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: can look at it and go, oh sad, computer. It'll
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: never take over, you know. I can't even figure out that,
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: like this is my new.
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: Password, So I just like treat it like an idiot
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: and be like a stupid computer. Just you really thought
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: that was the same as one character vers twelve Oh
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: with love. Yeah, I'm gonna I have to find a
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: balance because so what do you think? You think it's
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: a curse or a gift?
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, no idea, Okay, no idea is not an answer.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: That is a terrible answer.
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: Curse.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: I think it's a curse.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: It pisses me off, too.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: Wrong. No, I knew if I'd love to slap in
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: the face. It's a splash of cold water, electrified curse.
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: We're also not mom line makes you feel alive? Oh
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: my god, nothing.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: Does so fragile. I think we're too fragile.
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: You need that little shock that'll wake you up in
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: the morning of wrong, my brain does that format every day.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: It shocks me with some some your new freaking thing
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: to think about that.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: I don't like shock, sandy, Yeah, no, you need to
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: see that little red text wrong past or incorrect?
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: Actually too, you really think like you wouldn't be kind
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: of like on edge without that.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: You think that's yes, absolutely really.
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: What if it has like all four at the same
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: time where it says, oh, you don't have any special characters?
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: It's not the same one. You put one thing in
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: and it just has a list of all these things
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: you're doing wrong. Immediately, it's like, give me a chance
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: to like prove myself first, like immediately, like it's that's that's,
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: that's our childhood.
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: You start to do something, No, you're wrong. Don't ever
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: do that again. You can't learn. I would just want
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: to learn. My computers keep me from doing that. Your
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: computer is actually kind of true at this point. The
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: amount I haven't learned due to my computer at this point,
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: it's pretty shocking. There was a huge period where I
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: was learning from it, and now it's over. The computer
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: does not allow me to go to their comfort zone,
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: have endless resources to learn on it, and yet it
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: doesn't happen. Okay, so you've gotten zero out of two,
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: so be very careful with this last one. This is
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: from a listener named Alison Gift. Or a curse when
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: people remove their high heels at weddings and dance in
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: their bare feet.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: As someone who's seen a lot of Long Island weddings
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: where glass ends up on the dance floor multiple of those,
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: I'd say it's a curse, Like I get it, but
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: also It's like when you're driving, it's like you gotta
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: pay attention to the other people. Like it's not that
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: you're a bad driver. It's like not bad that you're
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: doing that, but other people drop their glasses, other people
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: make a mess and it's sticky and gross. So why
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: are you doing that to yourself? It's like the airport
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: in bare feet and like going through security, like why
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: are you doing that to yourself?
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess my question is what's the po V?
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: Because if it's like I'm an I'm a caterer at
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: the wedding.
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: Well caterers do that where they know that certainly a
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: curso for a catering company, Oh that's interesting. Yeah, to
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: get everyone on the dance floor, they take their heels off.
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on. I'm sorry, I'll be quiet.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Be quiet, okay. Like when if i'm if I'm catering
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: and I see a bunch of people like taking their
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: shoes off, I'm like, here we go, okay. You know,
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: maybe it's like a peace to look at or what
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: what do you mean?
• 59:32
  Speaker 7: Here we go?
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: It's a curse, like, oh god, the wedding's going, you know,
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: the way weddings go if I'm if I'm there and
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: I have high heels on, then I'm taking them off
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: and it's a gift because I don't want to wear
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: them anymore.
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: So you don't have an answer again, just checking checking,
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: carry as are these correct answers? Your answers are the
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: listeners answers universal.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't mean, I don't make the
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: rules me, I don't know.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: That was such a silly ques Like it's really hard
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: for us to be hearing you're getting zero right, and
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: we're like, we're gonna disappoint.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: What what are the rules? What's the like?
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Oh no, in Germany's gonna be so disappointed.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: He's our number one warner, any more disappointed in me
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: than he already is. The first words he said when
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: I landed and showed up at the like he picked
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: me up at the airport and he said, I thought
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: you'd be taller, and I thought your German would be better.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: That's the first two things he said.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: It's a very gay thing to say, right, And it's
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: like he could have been so fun that's so funny.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: Anyway, I think it's curse. I'm gonna say curse.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: Correct You've got one right, total curse. You're not a
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: free spirit. Get real, Madison or whoever you are. This
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: isn't your rom calm. We don't need to see you
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: letting loose journey. If you wanted to dance, you shouldn't
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: have worn the shoes, or you should dance in the shoes,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: or you should have brought separate footwear. But I don't
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: want to see you barefoot on the dance floor living
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: it up with the flowers in your hair. It's annoying,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: it's spilling grows.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've been there, I've done that, so I
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: can say confidently I agree with you. Yeah, pretty gnarly.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: No, nobody wants that, and I think it's really we've
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: got to do away.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: We've got to figure it out.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: Weddings should have like a rental, like bowling shoes where
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: you go, like if you did wear.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: He anyone's just sliding and literally bowling shoes a size
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: twelve men's.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: Blood every now, no socks allowed.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: The catering is barefoot disaster.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: Oh well, you got one right. That's pretty good. That's
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: really good surprise. Yeah, that's an excellent score.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Three, I'll take it.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: Who could complain? About that, Ellis, do you have a
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: gift to a curse? I do. Elie is going to
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: do one where we all have to answer least levels
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: of playing field.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: He's left everyone to everyone else. You haven't given us a.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: Gift or a curse.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: When Americans use military time.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: Oh no, oh, this is an interesting one for you guys.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: As someone who does it.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: You do that, he does that.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: But I was from when I my first iPhone was
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: when I lived in Germany, and so it was just
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: normal and I.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: Left it that way.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: I love an angel number.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so she'll be like eleven eleven. I'm like, it's
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: actually twenty three eleven right now.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: So that tells you all. You need to talk about me.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: All day long.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: It's like five fifty five. It's like, no, it's seventeen
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: fifty five right now.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: That's that's so. That's anyway. You are lucky. She keeps
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: you in her life.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: Every day it's like a new a. It's never the
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: same one. It's like, oh, it's eleven eleven. The next
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: day it's like, oh, it's different days.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: I know, I know.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying, it's just like none of them are
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: right on my phone I don't see.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: Them, okay. Anyway, I dated a guy in the army,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: just yeah, and he was all about the military time,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: and it became like such an annoyance to me, I
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: Especially if things were more military time in the US,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: like if that was anyone actually used it for anything
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: at all other than military, Why are you doing it?
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: Like, what's the point.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: Unless you're like practicing to go true abroad and you
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: need to do the math.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: That was the first thing I did it to like
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: learn it, and now I got used to it.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's what do you do?
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: Show me your phone?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: What's your I'm just a normal person, okay, okay, one one,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: three guys thirteen thirteen thirteen.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Wow, military time.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: Thirteen thirteen. I can't be anything. Sound good.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: The page I told you to turn to was thirteen.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: So this all feels.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: The amount of curses that she brings up day to day.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: It's like, well invited to German witches on my podcast,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you so Much, Clock Warlock.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: I saw myself in the antagonists of these children's stories.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 7: I was like.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: Hungry witch to the boy who didn't get enough soup,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: so he died and there's this grave at the end
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: of the story.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: There's one where his grave has a ball of soup,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: but because he didn't eat enough soup and.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: He died literally withered away like chows, him getting smaller
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: and smaller until he's like a grave.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a curse. I think it's you know,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: this is the sort of thing when somebody again, it's
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: like someone goes off for a semester of broad or whatever.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: They so interesting, they're off for six months. They're throwing
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: you into their words and they're doing the backwards dates.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: Everyone hates them. Barcelona enough enough of that kind.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: No, I think it's a total curse. Yeah, when in Rome,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: come on, literally, except for I guess except for in
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: this particular Rome, they probably might they probably might be
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: helpful for that, right, that's only Yeah, that's tough. But yeah,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: I think it's a curse.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: Thirteen enough. Yeah, it's absolutely a curse. It's always done
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: by some kid named Corey who likes to duty.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: You're not you're from Indiana. Call of duty.
• 1:05:27

  Speaker 2: pain and back pain.

  Speaker 4: just cats, right five.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: So she and the wife are trying to get across,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: not across debt. What is it job over from Georgia up,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: They're trying to get up the country. They're climbing the country.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Middle America, crossing Middle America. Yeah, okay, I drove from
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: California to Kentucky with my cat. Now the old Goden
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: has become he's traumatized. It took him a while right
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: back in I don't want to be that guy, but
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: it did take him like three years to fait three
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: years to get back to like normal, And it was
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: terrible because it was we moved during COVID. It was
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty literally May, and we we're traveling and there
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: were no hotels open, and we had this cat and
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: a dog, and our poor cat was like so freaked out.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: My advice is keep them in the carrier, because everyone
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: says that, and then you're sitting there and you're like, oh,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: but like he's so scared and sad, and I want
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: to just like open it a little bit and then
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: oh my god, hell breaks loose and we're on anyway,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: be very careful because I thought I could like let
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: him poke his head out. Big mistake.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: That's a huge mistake. My friend was traveling with her
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: cats at the airport and she was at JFK and
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: they make you take the cats out. Oh she was
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: going to get on the plane. The cat's peed all
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: over her. No, this was before she got on the floor.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. So keep them in there, keep them in,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: keep them contained, even if they're freaking out, Like keep
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: them contained.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: But for fourteen hours, I guess you go to the
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: cat friendly hotel.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: You went to a cat fridly hotel. Dog for oh,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It was just kind of like the
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: middle of COVID whatever we could find and then whatever
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: that roote is in the middle of nowhere, and we
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: stayed in like random places and just let the dog
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: and cat kind of run around.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: Just pee wherever they wanted, get this out of their system. Yeah,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: she was like, the help will get it.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: And we brought They actually sell little litter boxes that
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: you can like then throw away, like they're like two
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: postable Yeah, and so we bought a bunch of those.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: So those are really handy because then you don't need
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: to like clean and have everything. There are definitely some
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: supplies you can CEBD.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: You know. I just actually affect them. I don't know.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: I love just try.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: I'm not ever try. I'm not doing this. I just
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: never do. Yeah. I like because they're so annoying sometimes.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: Don't wake me up.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: It's going to give you drugs. That's what I do
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: on myself.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: Why not a cat? Of course.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: I wonder if it'll be better because they are now.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: I wonder how you split them up though in the cars.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: I think all of them in one car and the
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: other person gets to have the time of their life.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: I love that. Yeah, then you get divorced.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: That's perfect. Well yeah, but like you didn't have to
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: be in the car right exactly.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: Exactly, because yeah, it's either one's going to be maybe
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: really loud, especially if they're screamers these cats. I love
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: a cat who yells, but not fourteen hours in the car,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: So it might just be one car of screaming in
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: the other just a lovely time.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just put them on a bus, yeah, to Iowa,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: and then you too get to drive your cars. You
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: can follow the bus, cut the bus off if you
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: feel like and I'd love to cut off. Yeah, give.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: You know how you like to feel alive? And your
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: password is doing you just get a little jolt shop.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: You've got two cars, one person should absolutely have all
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: of the animals.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: Cats go in one container or are they like they
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: go in.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: One tupperware container. Yeah, I did this.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: I didn't do it well and I so I I
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: just wanted to say cautionary tale. I think you've got
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: you're going to figure it out.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: You're just from my experience with cats, they're resilient, like
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: they're they they'll be fine. And I think like trying
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: not to put your own emotions and feelings on your cats,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: because what you're dealing with watching them, it's like they
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: might not feel that way. They be a lot more
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: fine than you think.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: And have to remember that they hate you. Yeah, no
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: matter what. Yeah, this isn't going to change much, right,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: go to the vet. They might have something to give them. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: as a professional. Why are you asking here? Because you know,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: because I am certified. I've refreshed my certificate every year
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: so I can speak to animal. You can help. I
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: can speak animal. Put the cats on the phone with
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: me the whole time, speak a.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: Podcast on the whole drive fourteen hours. That's a great,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: great way to do it.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: Listen, Hannah, it's not going to work. Just stay in Georgia.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: Why are you moving to Iowa. That's a big problem.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: That's where I've hung up.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: You two are gonna have a lot of unhappy people
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: in the Midwest.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've just like Middle America, several countries.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: We're really happy with you Bridges.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: At least we're from Ohio, you know. Whenever, when I
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: was from Ohio and then I moved to La so
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: did everyone else from Ohio, it felt like, but people
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: from Californian we're giving ship to Ohio and I'm like,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: stop that only I can do that.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: But I feel like I feel like it's like one
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: of the safest, like there's really nothing to make fun
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: of with Ohio.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 7: To me, it's like so.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: Because it's the most like boring seeming state and like
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: so high.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 4: It's so big, though, I think it's because there's so
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: many people from Ohio and people don't underestimate how big
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: it is. That they interact with a lot more people
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 4: from Ohio than other states right from the Midwest, and
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: they're like, oh Ohio and is fucking suck or something.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I never been, but I'm I'm a fan.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 4: It has a few great good cities and then a
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: bunch of not as good cities.

• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know when that happened for me, but I'm
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: I don't want to was.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: The last day and the best, right, it just felt
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: too gross.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some you're asking for it at a water park,
