• 1:33
  Speaker 3: than any city in the United States. Apparently we tried
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: to have Kathy the rats are on last year. She
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: refused or didn't get the memo. I don't know what happened,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: but maybe we can get her out here. It's just
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: my ultimate nightmare. What else is going on? My mom

  Speaker 3: was in town over the weekend. I went to an
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: estate sale and it was just full of boring garbage.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that person's dead. And I think that's everything
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I saw that Christin Sewart has kind of a blunt bang.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I saw that online most recently, and I don't know

• 3:21
  Speaker 4: So many emails tend to do more and more. They

• 3:30

• 3:31
  Speaker 4: and then it was like, okay, let's get into scheduling,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: and then we were like no, just is it just
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: wanting to do the show enough.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I actually kind of think that is as long as
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: the person was like, oh I would, in theory do
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the show.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: Sounds good. Obviously I'm not gonna do the.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Show the work itself, Yeah, but it's the thought that's nice.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Tell me about the rats, Bridger.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: The rats are apparently more than New York more than
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: New York. Okay, I don't know how many rats.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: Larger land area.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: That's true. That's where we get into some weird it's
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: new numbers on the rats new numbers. Apparently it's all
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: over the news, okay.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Because they started they started to put my news.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: From the news as I'm sure we'll talk.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: About you look to friends. Yeah, family, I come here,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: you come to the well making the right choice.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Anything utility from the news to you, I go, this
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: is probably what they're the blunt bang and all that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: You know, have you had any experiences with rats in La?
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: We had, I mean they we had rats outside. Okay.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: They call them tree rats.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Which is way worse than a regular rat.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: They sounded big. You could really hear them rustling.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: We got we got them. I mean, they're definitely so
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: if you're in my backyard, there's like our neighbor has
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: fruit trees and the rats are in there, and then
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: there's like wire like you know, like electric wires or
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: whatever that they walk across. But we had this cat
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: that he was like a feral cat who lived across
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: the street, and I guess had decimated enough of the
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: rats population there that he started coming over to our yard,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: and god, he used to just go to town on
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: the rat's He has since passed, But man, I loved
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: that cat and he would you'd be you know, we
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: had a fire pit and something I'd be entertaining. I'd
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: have friends over in one sitting, one conversation, he'd bring
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: you three four rats as a little presentation of like
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I'm earning my keep here.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: You know how big were the rats?
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Oh they varied in size.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, healthy rats.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah they looked Oh they looked like they were thriving,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: but they weren't. They weren't like gigantic.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: But yeah, we have some some sort of cat colony
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: is happening around our area. And I'm not going to
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: stand in the way. Why, I mean, they're taking care
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: of my least favorite creature. The rats are the cats.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: The rats.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen it knock on wood. No rats near
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: my home. But I've experienced plenty of rats in la
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: at restaurants.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Across at a restaurant, it ran across your foot.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Well those are separate exposed in New York. Yeah, foot
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: in shoe outside of Ralph's, Okay, and then at a restaurant,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: will have to beep it out. But and of course
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: there are rats. Every location of this restaurant has rats.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: You know what it is. They have kind of and
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: we will bleep it out. But they have kind of
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: a natural vibe in there, you know. I think it's
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: sort of designed to be like infused with the with
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: the outdoors.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: People that work there seem like they may have a
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: relationship with the rats. And it's not you know, there
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: or bad, but they seem like they would be open.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: To creating rats playground.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: And you saw one there.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, okay, so inside I've been. First of all, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: say we've beated thet so I'll just say it's a
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: horrible restaurant.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: We'll have to bleep it. But yeah, it's really not
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: a good place. And it comes up if you're just
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: looking at like open table, like can I go somewhere
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: near here that seems like okay, like sort of nice.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: You'll end up there and you'll go, how did this
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: happen to me?
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Again? It's airport food. Yes, it's very airport bar food.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: And there are rats in the trees. I've been to
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: two different locations, never my idea, and both times there
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: have been rats.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: They shouldn't have trees and.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Don't yeah, trees all over the place and food picked
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: one or the other.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: The table, the wood is for the table. You shouldn't
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: be alive and just hanging out.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I don't want live wood near my food.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: No dead would have you ever read?
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: So there's an interesting article about the rat population specifically
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: in the Palisades from a few years back. And there
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: was a woman who was actually one of our first
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: show runner, David Goodman's neighbors, who's like an older widow
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: who had just been feeding the rats in her backyard.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: And so there ended up being like thousands of them
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: that would congregate in this yard, and ultimately the neighbors
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: started to realize like, oh, we are ground zero for
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: like a massive, massive portion of the rats in Los Angeles.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: And then I think she passed away, and then that
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: yard just had these rats that started spreading through the neighborhood.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: But it's an interesting article. I'll see if I can
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: find it for you.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: They probably vaporized her as soon as she went.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, god, don't you think No, I don't think
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: she was decomposing naturally. I think the rats were helping out.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: It was like these times little foxes.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, just this old woman's skeleton lying in the grass.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Do we know what was she feeding the rats on purpose?
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Or was she like all animals? And then just happened
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: to be rats.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I think she ultimately was like, knew it was rats,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Like it wasn't just she was putting food out. She
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: was like, I don't know, like people feed the pigeons
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: or the you know. She was just like, Yeah, these
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: these animals are coming to me, these furry animals, and
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna kind of give them what they're looking for.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: What a legacy, yeah, and what a prank.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: But You've had a lot of experiences for someone that
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: seems to have a particular antipathy for these things. I
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: don't think I've ever had a single one run over
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: my foot.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I'm drawing them to me. Yeah, I was walking to
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: when I used to live down in mid City, walking
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: to Ralphs. One ran up the curb and over my foot.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I then spent an hour in Ralphs. I didn't need
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: groceries in the first place.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: It seems like Hayes is saying it's time for some accountability.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: On my part. Yes, yeah, I feel like that I'm
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: probably not doing what I should be doing to avoid rats.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I mean I've run into them in New York. I've
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: opened a garbage can to have a rat run out.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't actually don't know what I'm doing.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: This is where we like flash back and we realized
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: that the sign that you thought said ralphs just said rats.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: I said, yes, that you were going two rats.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: There's a chance, there's a chance where I have a
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: few crumbs in my pocket. I'm doing something. I am
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: to blame here. But then there's another restaurant in Silver Lake.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I love their food, but the parking lot was just
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: jumping rats. So I let them know, and they said,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: the city opened up the street and the rats came out,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and there's nothing we can.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Do covered up. Yeah, they're not supposed to open the
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: lid of the streets.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: I learned something interesting the other day about why you know,
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: when they open up like a trench in the city
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: and it stays open forever. You probably know this already
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: why it stays open so long? Right, So if like,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: let's say whatever, the Department of Water and Power needs
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: to open the street for some reason and they dig
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: out this huge trench and they open it, every other
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: public works to apartment has a window of like sixty
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: days to decide if they want to go in that
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: hole and do something too, So they so like they
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: finish their work in two or three days. But they
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: have to leave it open because there's like an open
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: ticket where it's like, do you guys have anything you
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: want to do, because we don't want to open another
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: hole a month from now, right, And then I think
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: often no one does. No one probably even sees it,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: but they just leave it open for a long time.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: All the rats come out.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: It kind of makes sense.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: The list of infrastructure replacements is like really really long, yeah,
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: and mostly they just wait until it explodes, and it's like,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: you know, whatever, the water main is like shooting in
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: the air, shooting because some of those pipes are like
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: one hundred years old, and so yeah, if one that
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: makes sense, if one's open.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Why not make it a hundred It was like I
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: was gonna like.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: For a pipe away for a pipe pipes. Of course,
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: they're a hundred years in this guy's house. One hundred years.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: It feels like you're not invited to your wheels like that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: It feels like a fresh pipe to this.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: But why not make a list of people who want
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: to get in the hole before opening the hole and say,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: you know, line up, let's all do that, rather than
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: open the hole and then talk to him everybody go
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: hog wire.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: You got to get over there and open up that hole.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: You don't have time to make a list.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: I think when they are opening the hole, they are
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: doing it and sort of an emergency s duty where
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: it's like everything is exploding down here.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: The one hundred year old pipes are one hundred year
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: old pipes. If you had any sort of pipe issues
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: in your homes, what like, what if you had to
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: do any major repairs. Sure, I'm worried about this in
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: my home.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Well, when we got our house, which is over one
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: hundred years old, which of course the oldest thing in
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: the world be Haze ancient history, the electrician came in
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: and he was like, so the wiring is the original wiring.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: It was kind of wiring called knob and tube, which
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: is like that the wires are not insulated basically, and
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: he was like, so your entire attic is just open
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: fire sitting on insulation.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, So it just you're just.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Begging for fire. And so they were like, you have
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: to completely redo like every element of the electrical you know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: infrastructure of your home. And then of course like all
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: the codes have changed, and so it means like you
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: have to like add all these outs, you need these
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: special whatever kinds of fuses and all that, and it's
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: still never you know, to this day, if you turn
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: on the microwave in the kitchen, it seems like there's
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: like a lightning storm happening inside the house. So you
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: have to like microwave things with the lights off, and
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: then you because the wirings all screwed up.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: That to me, I would just have to I would
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: just ignore. I would just say I would rather the
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: house burn down than spend all that money.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean maybe we should have just
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: let the house burn Yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Maybe, yeah.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know what am I doing for anybody? That's
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: a great question. You know, what have you tuben up
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: to outside of thinking about my situation with the rats?

  Speaker 4: sort of right wing company or something you're not giving
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: money too, I don't know, but or left wing. I mean,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: everybody's bad, but you're at both sides, just like it's
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: just all extreams so much extreme damn fucking clown car
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: both lanes.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: But the hats. Yeah, I really generated a sense of community.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: Owning the hat offers not just a hat, but also
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: membership in the hat pack.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't realize there's a members.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: An exclusive community. Yeah, so people that own the hat
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: and they see each other in the hat, they can
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: they can connect, they can bond if they want to.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Most of the people in the hat are not like
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: connectors in that way. You know.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: I believe that loneliness epidemic.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: There is aleliness.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: And there's also a male listener base for the show. Sure,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: and so we just thought like, oh, we can really,
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: we can really reach this community.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: We're really exploiting some lonely men.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: They are that's who listens, and uh, you know, we
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: kind of carved out we're the one podcast that lonely
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: men like. So yeah, we decided like, let's give them
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: something sort of a signal, a flare they can send
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: to each other with this hat.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Speaking of male loneliness, I won't say that the person's name,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: but I recently heard a rumor about a celebrity having
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: an AI girlfriend. I don't know if you've heard any
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: of these rumors about celebrities girlfriends. Yeah, apparently there's a
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: celebrity who has an AI girlfriend and it is kind
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: of pushing the AI girlfriend on the people he works with.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: It's an interesting I don't know how that works or
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: if it's true.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Trying to get them to maybe join their thing, maybe.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Into the situation.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: What does that mean? I can't imagine having named of.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Course, the girlfriend is named Simone with a one and
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: a simon classic Simone and I are kind of interested
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: in your vibes like a coold fit.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: What was the wood?
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: What was the premise of Simone? Yes, way, it was
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: an AI actress.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: That never created.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, kind of I have a loose I'm going
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: to get details wrong. Alpaccino he's like an aging movie
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: producer or director of some kind, and uh he maybe
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: they who's the actress for a movie or something. But
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: he decides that they can simulate an actress, like they
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: can have a computer generated actress named Simone, simulation one
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: who then Telly Norwood style. They just kind of say, like,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: this is an actress now, and they're using not just
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: screen images, but like she's doing like hologram like public
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: appearances and stuff. So she's not a man and they
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: know and they've generated sort of a backstory. Maybe she's
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: even dating someone, but they but she becomes a phenomenon,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: uh and is is the lead of the movie, and
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: then they're in this pickle of like, now we have
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: this person that doesn't exist that people are kind of
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: clamoring for, and it's he's feeling kind of like you
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: know ed Harrison the Truman Show, where he's like operating,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: pulling the strings.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: He's bat Yeah, she.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Imagine this twist. They reveal at the end that al
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: Pacino is also a Simone.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: He didn't know and it's a one a the al Pacino.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: So oh in your version, I was thinking of al
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: Pacino's character in the movie You're very They reveal at
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: the end that we got the idea for the this
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: movie is a Simon.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Inspired by the life of a one.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: Would played Simone? Though, Oh, I mean it was Was
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: it a composite? What like? Was it a digital writer
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: had an actress?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: I think it was because I had to look like
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: a real person for the film.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: They must have hoped and then this person will become
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: a household name. Oh you know, and it will be like,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: are we getting Simone? But I don't think do we
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: know if.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: They had to kill Simone in the movie, did you
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: get out of control or was it just like world? Yeah,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: exactly starts to spark and then I have to shoot her.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: I feel like I watched on cable, but I'm not
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: sure that I was awake.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: For all of it, right, or saw all of it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: Shooting a hologram, really, Davis forgetting it's a holograt.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so's is holding the hologram while you shoot
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: the like holding her still, and then you realize like,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: oh no.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: She's a hologram. But she still has kind of a
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: metallic terminator skull underneath her face. It's like it seems
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: like they didn't have to render her that way.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kind of picturing al Pacino sadly flipping the
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: switch at the end of the movie, saying goodbye to
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: his daughter and that's But then I guess that is
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: what happened. But you do want to keep it open
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: for a sequel situ monem hmm, but I guess that
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: probably didn't Metadata remains, Yeah, exactly how did we get
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: to Simote?
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: It can't be a guy. I mean we skipped right
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: to Megan gender swamp Simo.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Doing kind of a gender swap simone.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Sim One. Interesting. Interesting, No, I never saw that, and
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: it was the Truman show creator.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I feel like that was the category of what if
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: another holiday?
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Right? Right?
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: And look where we are now. We're dealing with simons
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: around every corner.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: But are these are weto this a little bit bridger
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: by criticizing like Kristen Stewart's blunt Bang, for example.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: We didn't criticize it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: No, I said it didn't Okay, Yeah, the.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: Toad was really flattering.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I love her blunt bang. I've changed my mind. It
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: works for her and she should have gotten it sooner.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Who knows where her career.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Would be even the praise has criticism. It's too late
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: for you.
• 21:57

• 22:02
  Speaker 3: We could work through this. Well. Look, I've gotten myself
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: into a lot of hot water with Simona and Kristen Stewart.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: We should move on to something I'd rather not talk about,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: but I feel like we should.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I was excited to have you two here today. I
• 22:16

• 22:19
  Speaker 3: know what they're doing.
• 22:20

  Speaker 4: cat's not allowed to participate in the festivities.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: And this is kind of a special image because this

  Speaker 5: It seems like it's pretty banked up.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: But we wanted to guarantee, like if you do, if
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: you really push us, and it's just like this feeling
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: you have, like this is a bad episode. Let's just
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: like not release until we're all out. Everyone will know
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: that that's what happened.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: No, we'll just push it to October like twenty seven.

• 26:35
  Speaker 3: You toour dead. We're like kind of celebrating you.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, way to do. Your podcast could be like that
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Netflix show.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Which Netflix show?
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: There's a new Netflix show where they go to people
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: that are alive but not that much and they say, hey,
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: just would you like to make some content that you
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: will never get to experience the positive impacts of yourself
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: except the money right now. They did it with Jane Goodall.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, kind of a Grayson Frankie situation,
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: but no, great, Well, yes they did, older folks.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: It would be as if they waited if hers was
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: a post hers was posthumous.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: As soon as you pass, yes, and then they release it.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: That is the show. They go to people and say
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: we'll wait till you die.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, they wired. They put a basically a detonator on
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: your heart, so as soon as it stops beating, the
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: episode is launched.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: They send you into a bank. Wow, I wonder how
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: they contact you about that. Hey, you're getting up there.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: It's Netflix.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: You know they've got a little bit a bit of
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: something for everybody. Wow.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Imagine they should have sat on Grayson Frankie. Huh.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I wonder who else they've got in the bank for
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: that show. I mean, they're probably not going to reveal
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: until they Well, one of you, any of us right now,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: could have just done anything. You could have done it true,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: and we're just safing. That's a good idea for a podcast.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: You could really blow the roof off if suddenly you're
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: just it's all dead guests and you're like, I have
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: the last word from this person.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: They should say it is so when someone dies, you
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: can say Deadpool, Deadpool, Deadpool.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: There we go, Deadpool. Right, what is the title of
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: the show of this show?
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Don't remember?
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Somebody wants this somebody wanted this person to die.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: That's kind of true. Everybody has someone that wants them
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: to die.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: Someone like Jane Goodall, I mean, like lover to death.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: But in an industry where there's like one really famous person,
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: so many people are doing this, you're like.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: The second best monkey researcher in the world and a
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: shit about you know what has ever lared your day?
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: And and and her dying now doesn't mean you get elevated.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: It means that people still talk about her death forever.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: You'll never be another one one of one. And it's like, well, yeah,
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: it certainly will be if we keep backing like this.

  Speaker 5: You're obviously going to the funeral. You were like really
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: close professional colleagues, and it's just like rubbed in your
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: face even more.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Right, it makes it worse for you, terrible. Maybe we're
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: something flashy at the funeral, try to catch a few
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: eyes terribly, What a shame. Yeah, we'll never know who
• 29:36

  Speaker 5: was really insistent on being Shawn You.

  Speaker 5: to your door just wearing a pink dress and the
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: shell hairclip. That's the only actual clue you get. And
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: who are you supposed to be? And you're just met
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: with dead silence.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: And now it's like ghost, yeah, ghost, ghost in a
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: pink dress. So now what does she want to be?
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: She had an Alice in Wonderland themed birthday party has
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: a great Alice get up, and my wife managed to
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: manipulate her into doing that again and thinking it was
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: her idea, and so I was a mad hatter. Okay,
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: great if it was the White Rabbit. We're just running
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: it back. Okay.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: I think that's a great castle to Everyone gets it immediately,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: there's no explaining, and it's within the ballpark of what
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: she wanted. Sean, are you dressing him?
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. Okay, sometimes I'll throw on a
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: cowboy hat or something, you know.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nice to have a cowboy hat or a
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: witch hat something.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, something I got lying around, a little flannel and
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: a cowboy hat, you know. But I don't really like
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: to dress up. But I'm dealing with my kids, and
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: my son has inherited that trait. He just like is
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: very very against having to put something on.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Oh anything in general.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And so his kind of life hack is that
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: he's realized Halloween is a way for him to get
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: a free basketball jersey of a player that he likes.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: So he just like says a player, and he's like,
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: I want to go, is this you know? Player? I
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: think this year he's going to be Tyrese Haliburt. So
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: he so he got you know, he got the the
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: way I save because you know now I'm buying. Yeah,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: So that's he's gonna wear that. And then that player
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: obviously has a is recovering from a torn achilles, and
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: it's a big argument with my wife that she just
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: wants him to at least like put a band aid
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: on his ankle or something so that there's like some
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: indication that it's like a costume but not just a
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: kid in a jersey. And I think where we currently
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: stand is he will put some form of bandage on
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: his ankle for one photo.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Wow, what a negotiation.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Six tough. And then his sister, who's four, she really
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: wanted the whole family to go as the Barnstein Bears,
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: but of course her brother refused and so it was
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: like it all fell apart. And then my wife similarly
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: just has convinced her to wear a costume that I
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: think she wanted her to be in, which is she
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: is going to be shared from the movie Clueless, a
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: character she has no idea what it was and it's
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: never seen, but it's the yellow platu with the and
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: she's got she's got the pink pen with the feather
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: and a little like old school cell phone, which I
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: think she wanted to like have a phone as a
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: toy anyway, And so so it's all come together. I
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: think she'll look great and you can do that with
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: her right now.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: And do you guys go trick or treating with your kids?
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: How does that work? I've never had a trick or
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: treater in La I'm not.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Literally you're in the zone. So every neighborhood has a
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: couple of hot spots, like.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: A street that is like this is the trick or
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: treat street.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Right the rat colony in the Palaces.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: It's insane. So like four blocks from us, our neighbor
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: lives like in the center of the zone, and so
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: we're going to go to their house. We help hand
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: out candy. I mean, you got you know, ten people there.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: They order pizzas, and it's like you're just handing out candy.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: It's hundreds and hundreds of people coming through, and so
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: you kind of like there's like two giant like barrels
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: of candy out front. You're doing that, and then at
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: some point in the night, I'll take my kids and
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: we will walk just up and down those two blocks
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: and it'll take an hour and a half right to
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: like get through those lines and stuff. But like that's it.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: We just post up there.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: It's like a hard do they tell you when you're
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: buying one of these houses, because like it's it's a responsibility.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that seems like a huge hassle.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: People I think will bother you if you don't decorate.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: I assume it would just be like, Hey, just so
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: you know, like we were moving a little differently here
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: that I'm I'm I'm curious about that. I gotta find
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: out I want And this year, I feel like if
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: you showed up. I don't know what the bad guy
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: from K Pop Demon Hunters looks like, but if you
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: showed up to one of these places dressed like that,
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: I think you might actually get killed.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, truly be tramples.
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: Just the number of little kids stabbing you with whatever
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: their weapon is, I think you would actually get Yeah.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Does that movie. I imagine he's like a record producer
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: or something of the villain of the.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: Great I love that turns out to be a demon. Hey,
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: can the bag guy not be a producer?
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: There are other jobs in the industry.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: He's not really.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: He's sort of the head of all the demons. Okay,
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: but then like there's a sort of cocky, arrogant demon
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: who has a good good enough voice that he can
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: start a boy band that will then be able to
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: rival the because the girl group K pop group are
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: the demon hunters. They're killing all these demons and so then, uh,
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: they want to kind of asorb all their fans to
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: this like demon boy band and that will like somehow
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: eliminate their power.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: But it's very complicated, right, And were the gals demon
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: hunters first or pop stars?
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Great question?
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Well, they have all been sort of Buffy the Vampire
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Slayer trained to be demon hunters. I think from birth.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: One of them is like a Blade type character where
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: she's half demon and is trying to hide it from
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: the rest of the group.
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: Right, you gotta have one of those.
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: And so I think that their initial training was in
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: demon hunting and that the pop singing came later. But
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: I don't actually know the timeline. I say I watched it.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: But I sort of half watched it as my kids
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: were watching it. Is there like a lou Pearlman type?
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Is there somebody who puts the group together or is it.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: We just come together through a shared love.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: Of Music's who's there's.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Funny like manager a character okay, Okay, who's like sort
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: of yeah, going like we gotta get to hear but
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: you know, like we got the next your big show
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: coming up, and like it's sort of like a goofball
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: and it's like okay, but yeah, and the music is
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: so popular.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, unbelievably popular.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: I mean I've heard the song once. I heard it
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: and I thought I get it. Yeah, this is a
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: powerful piece of music. Yeah, and dances they go.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: You know, there's a class, like an after school class
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: at my son's school that his friends do where they
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: just learn dances to the K pop Demon Hunters music.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: Like it's just a dance class for that soundtrack. And
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: now is this a thing where it's split between boys
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: and girls? The boys want to dance like the evil Demons.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: I think they're all learning the same dance. Okay, I
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: don't know. He won't do it. I mean it's that's
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: like dressing up for Halloween to him. Yeah, that's like.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: That would be participating.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, did you too dress up as kids?
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: One year.
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: My parents love to laugh about about the year, I
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: insisted on being a chicken. Oh, it's so funny, like
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: a little kid doesn't know that it's like not cool
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: to be a chicken.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: I guess he's fifteen.
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: But they got me a chicken costume, and I asked
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: them to take it back, which they did, because I
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: wanted to be like a chick coming out of the shell.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Chick.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, interesting, that's what I was coated like a piece
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: of shell on my head, right, very can I got
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: what I wanted?
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: That feels like I had to construct. That would be
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: something a parent would have to construct. You buy an egg, you.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: Can, oh, you can buy those absolutely, like Sean saying,
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: I mean they have Easter costumes. That's one of like
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: two Easter costumes.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: The other's a lamb or by the other's a bunny.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Should not get bunny, guess.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: And I know it's your show, and you've been doing
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: great with a lot of the other sections, but.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking about I'm thinking about the religious half of
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: this holiday. You two have forgotten the true meaning of Easter,
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: and you're thinking about the rabbit, and I'm thinking about
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: the Christian.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: Non Jane Goodall, Jim experts.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: Well, that's but you didn't dress Family Feud, you just
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: get absolutely annihilated.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: I should not go on that show.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: It was so.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Mad, handcuffed. Lamb would be on the list. At least
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: give me that Lamb would be on the list.
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: Lamb's number three.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: How many did you get on Family Feud?
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: Five?
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: It's the top, it has to I think it's everything
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: over like one percent. It's different.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's I've ever seen an episode. I've seen small
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: clips of the show.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Oh it's fun, it's a good, good, But never sat
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: down and watched a complete episode of Family not a single.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: You must have friends that have been on the celebrity
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: version of it.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: Well, who cares? Yeah with the blunt bag. Well why
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: can you tell me why you brought this? Just because
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: it was a very cute puzzle?
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Well you know I looked at some of
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: the other gifts, so there was a backgamon set. There
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: is a backgam that made me think of like, what
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: else do you do on a tabletop on a nice
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: jigsaw puzzle? But we you know, we go in and
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: out of big being a big jigsaw puzzle house where
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: we really will go through a perer where there's just
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: always a puzzle on the table and somebody's just like
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: working on it and pieces, and that can be a
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: nice sort of soothing activity, you know, you forget like
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: buzzes are nice, they are.
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: You need that. I mean the thing is what we
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: were tapping into that little time to just like turn
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: your brain off, right right.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: I got a I've gotten This is I think the
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: third puzzle I've gotten on this Podcasteah.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: Well this is something because as I was grabbing it,
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: my wife said, like, I wonder if he's gotten a
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: puzzle before, and I said, I can't.
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: Be held responsible for that.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, A point well, and if if it
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: was the same puzzle, But I've gotten a cozy Christmas village.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: Didn't do that one. And then I got all of
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: the Republican presidents playing pool. And that's the first large
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: scale puzzle I've ever done.
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: All of them, all of them but Trump, Okay, is
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: that guy that paints some of them? That paints those presidents.
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: I mean that's some of.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Those loser guys who does like the Republican President's being cool.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: That's so many for one game of pool.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe not all, but maybe the hits.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: Well is it a pool haul? And there's multiple games
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: going or is it just one table.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: One table at one table and I think only one
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: or two trying to picture it now, I think they
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: all are participating in the puzzle or in the in
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: the pool. But I did it. It was five hundred pieces,
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: I think, and it took me fifteen weeks to complete
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: the plus wow. I mean, I wasn't putting my all
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: into it, and I wasn't excited about finishing it, but
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: it did take way longer than I expected, and it
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: was just on my kitchen counter for weeks. The only
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: reason I kind of finally finished it was my boyfriend said,
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: that needs to kitchen place.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well that's for other stuff.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: For someone who doesn't I simply don't cook. Don't cook,
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: so it didn't really matter. I guess it was probably
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: good that I was using the space for something, but
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: it took forever and it made me feel less than
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: you know, so you start to wonder about yourself and
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: how many puzzles out five hundred? Yeah, above, it's just
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: too much.
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: Like you'll see a great puzzle that's a thousand, and
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: you'll go like this will be fun, and I I
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: feel like one time, like a bunch of friends had
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: rented a house like in Big Bear, and we just
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: had a big thousand piece jigsaw puzzle out somebody was
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: always working on and it got finished over the course
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: of the weekend, and that was fun. But if it's
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: like just you or you and one other person working
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: on a thousand piece, it's like not that fun to me.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: That doesn't sound enjoyable.
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: Go into more and more homes where they have a
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: little room where the puzzle is partially completed and you
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: can just like pop a piece in here and there,
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: and you know not that the green room here isn't cozy.
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: The frame QR code is like it's.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: Like the QR code together hearth.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: Maybe could you could put that not you know that's
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: for you, but just a puzzle on that table could be.
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: It's a fun place there appear to be you're not
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: allowed to.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Make many rooms in this there are plenty of rooms
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: one could have a puzzle in it. It's not a
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: bad idea.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: To be honest, I think it could be nice.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: It feels like a complaint or.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: Show concept where like people are doing a puzzle. I
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: want to go back to a question you were asking before,
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: did you I don't remember anything you. Sean and I
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: used to get invited to the Maroon five Halloween party
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: every year. Jealous, which was at Hollywood, used to be.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: At Hollywood forever. Yes, it was the other.
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: For the last couple of years. They aren't doing it
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: anymore or much more.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: Likely we just fell off the list. But we used
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: to go.
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: What did you dress up as?
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: You kind of had h you must have had to
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: dress you had to dress up, for sure.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: I've never been a big dress up guy. It just
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: feels like pressure to me.
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: I just oh, yeah, expectations or I remember really freaking
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: out here.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: I'm dressing up. People go yeah, you know, they're rubbing
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: their fork and knife together. They're excited, so like, yeah,
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: one year, I think you were involved in my costumes.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: But one time I think I was a Jeopardy contestant
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: and I basically went as you when you were on Jeopardy,
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: and I had like a like a sandwich board style
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: like podium in front. Yeah, and I think I just
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: dressed up as Hayes from his Jeopardy appearance.
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: That's right. And I think you surprised me at the
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: at the party. Yeah, and then sorry, I forgot.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: About that the other year. I think I also involved
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: you in the costume, which is I believe it was
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: during the peak of Occupy Wall Street and my wife
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: and I went. She dressed as a cow and I
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: dressed as a milk carton, and we had protest signs
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: that said we are the two percent perfect and I
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: on the back of my milk carton. How to have
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: you seen this boy poster? And it was an image
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: of Hayes from what he was on Jeopardy.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: All of your costumes are haze on Jeopardy.
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I'm sort of taken back to the experience of, like,
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: you go to this party where you're kind of nervous.
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of really really fakes people there. I
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: saw Courtney Love there.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: What was she dressed as?
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: I don't I really wish. I was thinking the other
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: day that I wish I remember because in my so
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: let me tell you who she was dressed as. In
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: my head, Kurt Cobain.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: I was going to say it was Kurt, but I
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: could not.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: Possibly almost said as a joke.
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: But I know, I think I might have joked dressed
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: her up like that.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: Dead hospital.
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: That's what I decided to remember.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, if anyone was going to do that would
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: be Courtney Love she.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Is.
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: Did you ever watch the montage of Heck documentary?
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: No?
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: It was it good? Oh yeah, it's it's pretty good,
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: but by far to me, like the best part of
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: the whole thing is they have a lot of footge
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: of like Kurt and Courtney together and like you know
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: home videos they took basically and there's just the two
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: of them making fun of but also clearly being jealous
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: of guns and Roses and like it's just it's so humanizing.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: It like made me feel good, where it's like this
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: fucking dude was the coolest person in the world and
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: he couldn't get over the fact that like I'm sure
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: guns and Roses like album sales were high, and like
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: also that he was like and they're kind of wane
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: to me, Like they're kind of annoying, and this is what.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: People want, and I just just like it's everybody that
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: makes me feel, so everyone feels.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a it's a very soothing ball And.
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: That was how part of how you were cool at
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: the time. Can you really do that today? Something you
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: can't hate on your peers.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: In that one you kind of have to just retreat
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: basically and just let them continue to bulldoze their way through.
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: And maybe part of it was like people look at
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: court Love now and like her amazing band was overshadowed
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: by her personality.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: I love her personality, but I mean people I like
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: aspects of it.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: Sure, it's probably not and there's other things that I
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: think I would classify as areas for growth in Courty
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: looks personality and I'm not And by the way, I'm
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: not like I'm a fan. Yeah, but I don't think
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: we're looking at a finished product.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: There's something she could work on, yes for me as well.
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: Anyway, it was fun to see her at this party
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: and but you're just like vibrating in this like space
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: where just like whatever Jake jillenhall your peripheral vision, and
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: then you see your friends wearing a costume of you. Yeah,
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: it's like, oh, okay, it's just it's another thing to
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: dream dream nature. No, it was nice, but wait, what
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: were you?
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: What were you dressed as?
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: I truly do not remember.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: I think you were Pikachu once I was. He just
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: had a big old Pikachu costume.
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: I did. I had a full sized Pikachu cost.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: I had one more costume that I remember that no
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: one knew what I was, but that was sort of
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: by design, and I went as Colin Ferrell from True
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: Detective season two.
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: Uh Ray, Ray for sure.
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: His name was Ray and I used to obviously the
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: last name was like Tip, it's like Bell Combe or yes, yes, yes,
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: Ray val conel Cone and uh I was like you
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: know that season came out and people immediately were like
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: this is what I watched every episode and slipped it
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: was like I love Colin Farrell and this he's so weird.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: And so I had a pretty good because he had
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: a really distinct look, like he had like long hair
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: and a big mustache and sort of like a turquoise
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: like bolo tie and like I got like a jacket
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: that approximate it.
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: I have no recollection of that character. Well, I only
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: watched a couple episodes and got off, but got off.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: Around, shutting this off, messing around. It's fine, You're good.
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: Uh No, I don't remember that character at all.
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well he was one of the season two
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: was Rachel McAdams, Colin Farrell, and Taylor Kitsch Okay Taylor.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: And Vince Vaughn as the bad guy, and.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: Somebody gets shot. That's all I remember, right.
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: No, sorry, you're not remembering that, right, No, nobody gets shot.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: No one gets hurt, gets shot.
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: He's running through the I think he's in the like
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: Sequoia forest.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: I have some some memory of someone sending in the
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: living room getting shot directly in the chest with the
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: shotgun in that season of the show. Maybe I just.
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: Wanted that that's what the characters would you want to
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: be able to root for the Karen And I'm not
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: really that interested in watching someone shoot another human being.
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's actually illegal.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Someone who's shot in the chest. Well, is there anything
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: left to say about the puzzle?
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: It wasn't that much to begin with. But I but
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's anything left either.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: Do either of you have pets?
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: God, yes, dogs? Yeah?
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: Do you dress those up?
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: I have a big husky shepherd. He's a very sort
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: of beige like you know, seventy five pound dog. And
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: we will just for the trigger treaters, like just when
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: they show up the kids. We'll put a lion's mane
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: on him and let him answer the door. And it
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: looks pretty good. But we don't. He doesn't. He doesn't
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: hate it, but he doesn't love it, and so we'll
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: kind of just put it on for the you know,
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: reading Two Dogs, Two Dogs, back up to five cats
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: after having gotten down to three seven beatles. Son going
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: to get a white tree frog for Christmas. That's been the.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: Big Get a tree frog.
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: That's a big.
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: That's been a lot of conversation about a tree frog.
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: Just recently had to buy him a book on how
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: to take care of tree frogs, which he's been asking
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: me to do for about a month now because he
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: knows he's getting it. Or yes, he had. He had
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: been really agitating for a fish. He's very interested in fish,
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: and we were able to kind of steer him towards this,
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: which I think he didn't know was an option. Like,
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: I don't think he feels like he's settling as he's like,
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: oh wow, because I think they're a little easier to
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: take care of.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: Maintaining a fish tank is disgusting, really challenging.
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: And you know, my memory of it, five garfields in
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: the house, I know.
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think the frog might be a little
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: bit more manageable, right, But we have seven blue death
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: fanning beetles that are in his room now that are
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: like the easiest pet in the world if anyone has
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: children that are interested in bugs and like who wants
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: like a frog, lizard, whatever type creature. They're desert bug,
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: They're big, they're kind of cool. You can hold them,
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: and you have to spray them, like missed them with
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: water once a week, perfect and basically put like crickets
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: and dog food in their bowls.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: It like, yeah, what's a life spent on a beetle?
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: A few years in? But I think it's I think
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: it's like five to seven years.
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's really impressive. I would say maybe six weeks.
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, they're they're going.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: So when one of those guys, it'll be an emotional
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: experience maybe.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: Okay, so I said we have seven. I think we
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: have six actually. But the really crazy thing is they
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: they play positive called death fanning beetles because if you
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: touch them and they're nervous, they fold over and put
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: their legs up. So at times I've been like, oh, no,
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: this one's dead, and then they are alive. But now
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: I have seen one actually be dead, and I don't
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: know what age they are when we get them or
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: any you know they just came in the mail.
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, they come in the mail.
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: They must have some of the just fage death too
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: much and they wake up in the freaking trash kid.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: No, it almost happened.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: There was one that I was like, this is definitely.
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: I was like sad. I was like, okay, well one
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: of them's dead, and I was like getting ready to
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: get rid of and then it was like, gotcha teasing you?
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: You order them by mail? Fascinating I did. Yeah, okay,
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: I remember I've brought this up to people before, but
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: I remember seeing bags of ladybugs.
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: You could buy.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: Have you ever seen these?
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a real praying mantis as well. That's like
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: a garden product. Like if you go to a garden
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: supply store, they'll have like a ladybug nest or whatever
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: like that you can put in your garden.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: I'd love to get one of those again. Yeah, it's
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: kind of disgusting to begin with, but then they're all
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: over your yard. Why not?
• 55:58
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, do you have cats, Bridger?
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: No, I had two cats years and years ago. We
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: have a dog now, she's only eight months old.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Though.
• 56:05
  Speaker 5: There's this thing out there. Sean and I both have
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: orange cats now, but it's I think it's an increasing
• 56:13
  Speaker 5: online thing that the orange cats are like the most demented.
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: Oh mine were orange and they were like wild animals. Yeah,
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: they were really and then they had to be because
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: I was moving across the country. Blah blah blah. Were
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: adopted by a woman, her daughter and her son who
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: is a YouTube magician, and I think they're taking care
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: of them.
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, shout out the YouTube channel.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not shouting out the YouTube channel, Jesus Christ Bridger.
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: I mean you pull the ladder back up behind you.
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: Here are magic on my own.
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: You see it as an extension of red hair discrimination,
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: that this is like the path that people have found.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: Oh they can hate the orange cat, yeah absolutely.
• 57:00
  Speaker 5: But you also agreed that they are more insane self loathing.
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: You've internalized it well.
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: And also, of course orange cats are almost always male,
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: which we have.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: An orange so it's less than fifteen percent of them
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: or female. We have a female orange cat, wow, and
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: anytime we go to the vet or whatever with her.
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: They're like ooh.
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: Like the cat enthusiasts know this. So we had we
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: had five cats. At one point, we were feeding seven
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: cats because Tony the Farrell who killed all the rats
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: would come across the street, and there was a cat
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: who lived up the street but mostly came to our
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: house for dinner. And that cat we called him mister Cheeks.
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: He had very high, beautiful cheekbones. But then later his
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: owner discovered that he was our house a lot and
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: his owner had named him Buddha, and sometimes he would
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: show for dinner. I'd be like, hey, there, here's your dinner,
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: mister Cheeks, and I'd hear him over the fans go It's like,
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: what do you give a fun I'm taking a Yeah.
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: So anyway, those mister Cheeks moved, Tony's passed away. The
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: two main coon mixes I had have passed away then,
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: so we were down to these three tabbies that were
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: my wife's originally. And then we this guy in the
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: neighborhood dropped off four kittens to be like, can you
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: foster these until they get adopted. Two of them got
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: adopted right away, the other two orange ones now they
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: live with us.
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: You're a big animal person. I didn't realize this.
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's too many cats.
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: That's a lot of cats, and all of them live
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: in your house.
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: Not really the orange the Yeah, the there's like a
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: separate structure that mainly the tabbies live in, and then
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: that's sort of.
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: Like a cat hutch habitat.
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like, yeah, it's like a habitat. It's got cat
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: trees and yeah, it's like a Chicken coop esque thing,
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: really nice.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: And then well it matches the house.
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then there's uh, the orange ones are in
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: and out. But yeah, they they tend to really spend
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: a lot of their time on the roof.
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: That they love to be up on the wrist. They should.
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm hoping, actually fingers crossed that they become
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: because the cats that I had and that my wife
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: had were useless in terms of killing rats. I think
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: these orange ones might be our new hunters.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if you're going to have it. They have
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: a little bit of that hour and they've got the
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: killer instinct.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: One a woman came and told us that she saw
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: the girl kill a cockroach on the sidewalk today.
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: Perfect, Yes, she's the letter work in the speed bag. Well,
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: I think we should play a game. We're gonna play
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: a game called Gift or a Curse. But I need
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: a number between one and ten from you.
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: Jigsaw over here.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: I'm speaking of Halloween. I need a number between one
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: and ten.
• 59:53
  Speaker 5: From you two. Okay, let's see if we have the
• 59:56
  Speaker 5: same one. Now we don't.
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: What were you going to say?
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: Nine? Okay?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: Interesting, but this is why you two worked so well together.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: We will go.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: I'm a four and he's a nine.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: If if I were facing just say, if I were
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: facing Oz the mentalist, nine is what I would pick,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: or possibly even ten.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: Ten.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, I just feel like, I mean, I'm not
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: going to ten. People forget.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: No one ever says ten.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: I'm going to beat him at his own game. But
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 5: I mean, I gotta take a swing at ten ten four.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: I feel like I'm, you know, playing right into his hands.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: People might as well not hear everyone. It's a nice
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: one to get, but ten, I think I maybe one
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: person has ever done that, and that was they won't
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: be asked back. But this is I need you to
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: use the microphone right now. You can recommend, promote.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: I have to do some.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: On your own.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: Believe calculated get games the number four. Yes, okay.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: The fact that you understand this almost every guest is
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: so baffled, I say, but you got it immediately.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: I almost I mean, I'm so intrigued. I almost want
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 5: the calculation to happen out loud, but maybe that would
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: give way. It's a piece of it, the game.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: But you can recommend, you can promote, do whatever you want.

  Speaker 4: The u r L Well, we had initially so we
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: when we launched the Patreon, Hollywood Handbook was just on
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: a network. It was its own thing, and we with
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: our friend Carl Tart, started this basketball show called The
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: Flagrant Ones, which we thought was kind of a funny name.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: It was, you know, you can get a flagrant one
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: as a vow, but it's also you know, the defiant Ones,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: I feel like had come out recently, and so we
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: that was the title of the Patreon. Then we moved
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: a lot of other stuff over there. And Andrew Schultz, yes.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: He had a show called The Flagrant two for a.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: While it was like the most popular Patreon.

  Speaker 3: and they've been.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: Tom Harris go on the flagrant ones.
• 1:04:01

  Speaker 3: I'm very best. No c w Okay, everyone go to Patreon.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: This is how we play Gift or Curse. I'm going
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: to name three things. You'll tell me if they are
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: a gift or a curse and why, and I'll tell
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: if you're right or wrong because there are correct answers,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: so you can lose.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: Be very careful.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to hear how the four comes into
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 5: play or whatever the.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: Four has got long gone.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: It was used to randomize which ones I picked. Okay,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: to be fair, Okay, This first one is from a
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: listener named Johnny. Gift or a curse microwaves that display
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: enjoy your meal when the timer is done.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: Wow. I've never gotten a microwave like that.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: Me neither.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: You know I have two You want me to talk
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: through it?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: So I have two like opposing instincts. One is don't
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: tell me what to do you little food robut you
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: tell you boss me around. But two is why am
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: I heating it up? If I'm not going to enjoy
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: my meal, which I don't always remember to do sometimes.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: You know your microwave eser, you're gonna hurry the hustle
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: and bustle, and it's like, we're not taking the time
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: to enjoy our meal.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: A gentle reminder like that, I think I'm going gift.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 5: I I mean, if it has language capabilities like that,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: then that means that it can be reprogrammed if you
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: have just a basic understanding of the engineering, the coding, yes,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: the technology behind that, and so it can be reprogrammed
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 5: to say something like ouch oh and when you're done
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 5: using it, And so that can make you think twice
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: about how many trips you're taking to the microwave.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: How hard you push the buttons as well, and right,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: so like kicking it.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 5: And then it's just for health purposes, You're like, Okay,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 5: I'm going to be micro not as many things, because
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: I heard a microwave and now work the microves healthy.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: I'm a little healthier. That seems like it could be
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 5: a really nice gift.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: I'm also not starting on fire. I'm not making the
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: lights flicker of my house.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot about your microwave. Who knows if your
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: home could handle this type of microwave Probably not, probably not.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: You're correct, it's a gift. Yeah, that's that's good tech.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: I don't have one of these. I can't afford a
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: microwave that tells me anything. Mine has numbers and maybe
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: an error message.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 5: I'll bet it scrolls along one of those levels and
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 5: letters might even be jumping up into the.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: Little musical thing. Mine just beeps and goes down and
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: has kind of a bad level handle. So I think
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: that's a nice thing to have, and it really keeps
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: us present, Like you were saying, it's a nice reminder
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: to be present with your microwaved dinner. Okay. The second
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: one is from a listener Patreon listener Lisa Gift or
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: a curse cars in America with the European license plate
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: on the front. Have you seen these?
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 5: A European license plate on the front, So it's a
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: different license plate than the one in the back.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: Sometimes I think it's like a diplomat or something, or
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: I think it's more of like a car.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: People to me, Oh, is that like I used to
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: hear that, like, if you wanted like a European car,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 4: you should go spend a month in Europe and drive
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: around the car, and then you'd ship it back and
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: be less than buying the import or something.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: I mean true. Maybe in the nineties when I was
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: learning about this, it was.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: But this is an easy one for me.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: This is a curse.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: It's just confusing.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: It's not it's deliberately confusing. I mean that car. That
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 5: car belongs to the nefarious art thief Thomas Crown. There's
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 5: no one else that could be.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: It's more deliberately confusing.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: Its designed to confuse inter Paul and NYPD alight. And
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 5: so when you flip the car back where it's whatever,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 5: you're big person, dude buy.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: He's even designed to fool his own lover.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 5: So he's actually across national jurisdictions at any given time
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 5: to depending on whether he sits in the front seat
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: or the backseat.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: He's essentially on the ocean. No law applies to this man.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: But he appreciates the finer things, doesn't. He almost seems
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: more deserving of the art than just the lay person.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: And then you mentioned ocean. I go only person, I
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: know would have that car, Danny Ocean, Anny Ocean, Right,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: he also would be willing.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: To he would love that car, salivating over that sort
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: of car. So you're saying, curse, it's a case, yeah, correct, curse. Look,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: when I'm on the freeway, I need to know where
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: I am. I need to know which country I'm in.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: Which side you're supposed to drive onto.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: Suddenly I'm sick to my stomach saying that thing Migrain's galore.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: Where am I am? I in Paris or Los Angeles.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: It's a tough thing to see.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: I have a this needing to know where I am.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: This reminds me of maybe a fun story you might like.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: So I was working on the production of this show
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: called Kevin Can Fuck Himself, and it filmed in Boston.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: It was during COVID and we were all in quarantine.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 4: But the star of the show, Annie Murphy, had been
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: nominated for a Golden Globe, and so we went over
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: to her apartment, all the people who worked on the
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: show and we're friends with her, so that we could
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 4: kind of be there with her as she did like
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: the COVID remote Golden Globe and we were inside the
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 4: like remote video zoom green room with all of the
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 4: other nominees. One of them was Julia Garner. One of
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: them was Gillian Anderson. Gillian Anderson, that's a good question.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: But at any rate, Gillion, maybe a Gill Gillian Anderson.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: So everyone's sort of just awkwardly like all these actors
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: are just sitting in a silent zoom like as they
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: wait for their category. And at one point, Julia says,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: we'll go with Gillian. Gillian, it's so good to see you.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: We actually had dinner together a few months ago. I
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: met you at a dinner and Gillian goes, oh, really
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: in what country?
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 5: Awesome? Can you believe that's her first question?
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: What a weird question.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 5: That's how she gotta narrow it down.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: Wow, what a life.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: I'm having dinner in so many countries.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: And also narrowed at like when she might have had
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: dinner with Julia Garner. Yes, I'm certain that hasn't happened
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 5: to me. I would have remembered.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so bare like doesn't even really register for her.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: She's just with celebs all the time in every country.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: She could imagine who won?
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 5: Gillian? Yeah, oh interesting, I think.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: And was that a move on?
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: Gillian show up. I don't remember, honestly, I was. I
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: blacked out after that happened?
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: Which country?
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, isn't that good?
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: She's she's a Thomas Crowton type if there ever was one.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, you've gotten two rights so far. This is the
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: final one. This is from Patreon listener Mary Anne. Gift
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: or a curse being able to edit text messages after
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: sending mmm mmmmmm mm.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: This one's the hard This is the hard one.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: This is the tough thing.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: This is the hard one.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: It's a gift, So.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: Why might it be a curse? This is the question,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: and the answer for me is sometimes you don't do
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: it fast enough and then you go, I wish I
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: had done that, and if the technology didn't exist, I
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: would never know that pain.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: M But.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you do fix something that might have been a
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: little embarrassing, and sometimes you can see that your friend
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: made a mistake.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 5: I first of all, it's it's it's cutting down on
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 5: the number of texts on getting which is a good
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 5: thing because someone if someone sends me almost they're just
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: porking and then sends parking, right, that's twenty cents instead
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 5: of just ten.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: Well, not only that, I would say just porking, porking,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: I mean porking parking.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: And then an angry I hate auto correct, auto.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 5: Correct, the emoji, the cursing emojis, like, don't curse crass,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 5: Absolutely no need for that.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to have dinner.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 5: But it's also it's it's fun to sign it's and
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 5: it's worth running up the bill a little bit to
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: be able to then respond pork Yes, the funniness of
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 5: saying pork and then other people there's other people in
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 5: the chat. They can say porking too, and we're you know,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 5: we're like, we're spending a little money on the extra text,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 5: but it's.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 4: Worth It's not like we never see typos. How about
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: the people that you know, you know saw it and
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 4: they just don't edit it too.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: Oh that's an attitude, I know, what a life that
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: person's lead country the.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 5: Really rich like super rich producers, and the Sony hack
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 5: was a real example of this. They aren't looking at
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 5: their device while.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: They're from their AOL account. Yes, this was like I
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: think there was a whole article at one point where
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: like people with AOL accounts are the richest people.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 5: They write emails like they are sprinting past the keyboard.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: No time. Yeah, that's someone who doesn't care that much
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: the school.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 5: I could never do that.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: The most famous powerful person I said, mass emails that
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: are just all typeos every yes, as if he sneezed
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: on the keyboard, and I'm like, wow, I get it.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: No one's ever going to say anything to him about it.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: Why would you? I mean, that's the person in charge.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 5: He thinks that's how what words look like. Now, yeah,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 5: it is.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 4: It is an interesting version of like the protective bubble
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: that you can find yourself.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, like kind of the ultimate example of that.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: You were showing everyone your behavior and no one is
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: saying anything about it.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 5: It's nice.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: But also just like I think this person sends a
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: lot more text and emails that I do throughout today,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: and like it just can't kind of worry over each
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 4: piece of punctuation the way that I do, like is
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 4: this okay, I got to show it to my wife?
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 4: Is this okay? If I say this back so good.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 5: I'll say curse. Then now it's just sanding down the
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 5: human experience, the variability of our this is good.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: One of us has to win, and one of us
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: has to lose. So, yeah, you're saying curse, you're saying gifts. Yeah,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: it's a curse. I'm sorry, that's okay, it's a curse.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: I kind of feel it.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: Look, we want our text swarts and all. We want
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: to see our friends make mistakes. At the very least,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: you get to see your friend in a vulnerable state.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 4: And why not.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 5: You know, the LA's really pure communication format.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's Texting is the only way we can really
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: communicate with each other and show our true selves. So,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: but two out of three is not bad. I didn't
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: want to win, and that's a good attitude. We need
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: to answer an email people are writing into I said,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: no gifts at gmail dot com, begging for answers. We
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: help me answer a question.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 5: Sure, you have so many suggestions that you have to
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 5: not just take a number from one to ten, but
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 5: then do an additional computation on top of that to
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 5: determine it. So you're I mean, wait the game.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very complicated show. This is a thinking
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: person's show.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: Every aspect of the layers of this thing. Man that
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: we've bent, the hoops I jumped through to come sit
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 4: at this table.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 5: Is out of honey control.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, this is high Bridger. I have two younger brothers
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: who are both incredibly difficult to shop for. I consider
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: myself to be a good gift giver, but I really
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: struggle with the two of them, especially since I don't
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: spend a ton of time with either of them. The
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: younger one is eighteen and makes electronic music. This is
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: his only hobby, and it's too expensive to buy him
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 3: music equipment. The other is twenty one and doesn't have
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: any hobbies, unless you count smoking pot and hanging out
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: with this cat to be a hobby. It's a little
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: judgment on there. My question is how do you shop
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: for two young boys who aren't into many things? Sincerely?
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: That's from Annie and Montana.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 5: HEYI girlfriend, Hey I girlfriend?
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah I girlfriend?
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 5: The love you need?
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: An AI girlfriend?
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: One of them has the easiest question you've ever gotten.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 4: It's an AI girlfriend.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: Honestly, Oh my god, Big Sky Country.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 5: Yes, they absolutely can share. One, could share the.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: Whole planet, could share one single AI girlfriend. That's the
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: power of AI. That's why we're pouring money into the We're.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 4: All married to simone.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 5: What was the second brother do?
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: He doesn't do anything, but he smokes spot hangs out.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 5: With about this. For the DM brother. You know how
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 5: Steve Aoki throws a big sheet cake into the Yes,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 5: you can get the sheet cake for the one EDM
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 5: brother to throw at the stoner brother and then he's
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 5: got the munchies.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: He could eat that.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 5: Cake off himself two for one. Yeah, And it's not
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 5: like this guy has like I mean, there's a kid
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 5: who is into EDM. He doesn't have like huge crowds.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 5: He probably just has the brother. So he's gonna throw
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: the sheet cake at a single person.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: I'd love to see Steve ak throw it just I
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: could get one.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 5: Person just did the you know, just probably in the
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 5: living room.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that that kind of just ends.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: I don't have anything to add to that. Really, the
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: AI girlfriend is free. The cake is going to run
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: her what twenty dollars? She can have a nice message
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: put on it for both of them.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 5: What is the sheet cake in Montana? I think you
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 5: could probably get one for we think we're single digits?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, single, I think teens. The ones that he got
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: eight ninety nine plus task he does then by the
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: time you check out, you're looking about twelve bucks.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 5: He does the bigger ones. I was picturing him more
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 5: like teen size.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: A teenat cake. They're all the rage, the teen sheets.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: I was recently, I had to buy a cake at
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: a grocery store, and I was shocked by how cheap
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: they actually are.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 5: Cakes are crazy. That's that was part of my instinct.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: They've solved it.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 5: They're crazy.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you go to the grocery store, a decorated
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: object should cost a decent amount of money. But then
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: you're like, oh, this was nine dollars terrifying?
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 5: How I don't know what something like that together.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: Right, teenage sheet Cake to the tune of teenenage dirt Bag.

• 1:19:08
  Speaker 5: I'm so relieved when you get to dirt because like
