  Speaker 4: You know.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Actually I had nothing going on Today's you've provided me
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: an activity.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Wonderful. What do you do in LA when you don't
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: have anything going on?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I haven't been here for a while. Sometimes I
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: meet up with friends. A lot of my friends are
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: out of town right now, so doing a lot of
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: staring into space. But I'm here on a little job.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: So I was doing that yesterday in the day before Days,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: my first free day. Oh so I was just walking
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: around the neighborhood that I'm saying.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: And the weather is not quite as as it was before.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Very nice.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: It's got a breeze. I think it's about eighty two,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: which is kind of the ideal summer temperature for me. Yes,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: there's still I thought school was out, but it sounds
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: like the school children they're trapped at the school.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe there's a day camp happening.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: There may be a day camp or a child training
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: or something. I don't know what they do at school.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Army training.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: How are you doing.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Do you remember the first time we met.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, we met at a swanky ski lodge in Park City, Utah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I feel like that was must have been such a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: an alarming interaction for you.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: No, because okay, first of all, I knew your name
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: because I followed you on Twitter, which it was then
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: called and I loved your I don't know how you
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: came across my feed or whatever they call it, but anyway,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I loved all of your quips and comments since I
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: followed you and I had no idea who you were
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: or anything. And then you approached me in the swanky
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: ski lodge lobby and you said your name was Bridger.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh, I love you. One
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: of those kind of things.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I need to correct the history a little bit here,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: because Jim was with.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Me right and I didn't know him yet, You.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Didn't know him, but we saw we were just we
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: had been on a drive. It was the wintertime. We
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: had been driving, and I don't know why we stopped.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I probably had to pee, because that's every twenty hotel.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Look if I have an opportunity hotel.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: It was like the swankiest hotel. I want people to
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: think I usually roll like this, but this was my
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: once a year back then. This is my once a
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: year split. Well, we walked up one.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: We're just throwing cash into the fireplace exactly.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: That's what it's like.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, but I guess we must have stopped for me
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to use the restroom. I can't imagine others Moores Station,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I didn't get to they have a whole.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Like Smores cart. It's like Willy Wanka situation. Anyway, go ahead,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: go ahead.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: God, I've got to get to this place.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: We don't just pee there. We have the smorest cart. Anyway,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: go on.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I was with Jim. I was working on Commissimid at
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the time, but we hadn't met. You were on that season,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: but not in my episode, so we hadn't actually met.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, yes, that's what.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, now I remember, and we followed each other
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: on Twitter but did not know each other. And of
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: course Jim takes this bit of information and says, well,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: you have to say hi to I. Of course, it's
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: like this woman is on vacation. I'm leaving her alone.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: But this is how it goes in every interaction with
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: him and me is I'm pushed into it. So I
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: just want people to know I don't just approach people
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: on their vacations.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, but I was very excited to meet you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: You were so wonderful because.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Now I remember, yes, you were a kimmy and maybe
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: that's why. Anyway, No, I was, I mean I flipped
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: out to meet you, so it all worked out.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Were you skiing yes? Are you an active skier?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Kind of act like now now I go like
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: once a year, but I grew up kind of skiing.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's like the one sport I was kind
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: of okay at but I'm probably not now. But anyway,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: but I go because I just like the whole vibe.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Right, you know. And you grew up learning to ski
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: in Massachusetts.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we would go up to New Hampshire. How is
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: the skiing there, Well, it's it's kind of it's very
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: icy and people's skiing jeans. It's it was very like
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: like we would go up every weekend with friends and
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: just like it was. I don't I know, this sounds
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: weird to say, because I right now like skiing became
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: like this very like rich person thing, right, But back
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: then it was a little more janky in Massachusetts. So anyway, Yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: so it's a lot harder out there because it's it's
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: very icy.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Did it take you a long time to learn?
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Well, I started when I was a kid, So I
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: don't really those things, you know, I want to, like, like,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I have a kid, and I want him to learn
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: everything when he's a kid, because whatever it is, like music,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: language is like like those things are really hard to
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: learn as adult.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Nearly impossible.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I mean I never quite picked up the language thing,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: you know. Anyway, So yeah, so you want to you
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: want to expose your kid to everything.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: And so as a skier, Now, do you feel like
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you're a decent skier?
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I'm okay. I don't go down the black diamonds.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: But you're going up to everything. What's the closest of
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: blue or red blue? I can do a blue blue.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: That's that's difficult, ski, I'm lous.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Fine.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Wow, do you feel like your kid's better than you?
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: No, because we don't go that often.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Oh right, the whole history.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: You know, he's he's really into basketball. He's not that sweet. Yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: it's a once in a while thing.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Did you ever play basketball?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: No? No, I didn't I'm a horrible athlete.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You're in good company.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Actually, I did the ancestry DNA thing and now they
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: give you traits too.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: What.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so they tell you what traits. It's like stuff
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: like you like cilantro or you have wet earwax. I'm
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: not kidding, but this just came up in my thing.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: But one thing is said like athletic ability, and it
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: said like lower athletic about it. I was like, I
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: knew it, Like I didn't need to see that in
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: print because I knew it. I'm a terrible athlete.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: They just roast you.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: All my friends from growing up are really good athletes,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: like all of them, and I never was. I was.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: It was just it's a thing that I'm not a
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: good athleet even now when we go on like Lady trips,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: they'll wake up at like seven am, like let's go
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: for a three mile run. I'm like, oh God, can
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I please hang out with the loafers?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: People of doing that in their personal time, they just
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: know their friends are around it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: So vacation no no no running.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Running and whatever.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Working out all that early morning exercise on vacation into that,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: that's a problem. So you're getting all of these traits now,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I'm actually kind of interested in getting into this ancestry
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: website giving them my all of my I.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Didn't really think of that part of it. But yeah,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: well they say like if you if you're a night owl,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: if you like dancing, I'm not killing all this stuff,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: which I do, and it's I do I do?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Did it feel mostly accurate?
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I think?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: So what about Cilantro? Do you like selan?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Oh? I like Cilantro? It said I didn't, So that's
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: got really Boringlanto like anyway, Sorry, that's a bus stuf
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: myself not one.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Okay. I wonder how they figure out the dancing thing
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: that makes zero I know, I know it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Also like extrovert, I think is part of which I am,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: And it said so I.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Would be, And well, I feel like that must just
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: be a lot of guessing.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know how they do it. I don't
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: know which gene you know, little segment counts for some
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: of this stuff dancing. Kind of interested in it.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you do like dancing?
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I do. Yeah, I'm not saying I'm good at it,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: but I do like it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: How often are you're dancing.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Not not very often get events.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's me when I'm at a wedding time
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: of my life. Yes, and everyone's shocked. Oh really, and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I'm enjoying. But then and I think, oh, this is
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: so much fun. But then what other opportunity do you
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: ever have to dance?
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I know, not very often.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: When was the last time we were dancing?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Was? Actually I just went to my college reunioncing there
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: we have the silent disco. Have you ever done that?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I actually did recently.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was really fun.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: It's very It's an interesting experience.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you think it's gonna not be connected, but it
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: is because everyone's like, go to Like there's three channels
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: like Blue, Red, and Green, and they each have a
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: different song playing. So have a good song. Because everyone
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: was like, go to blue, go to blue, and then
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: everyone jams out together.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Were they different?
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Like no, they're not even different genres. I don't know why.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I didn't really understand, but anyway, sorry, but that's so.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I was just dancing, like last week, dancing the night
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: away till two in the morning. People, it's in the genes.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: It's in my genes. Night owl and likes to dance.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: So I want to see this because I don't think
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I've seen either of my parents ever dance. Oh really,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: not in a single situation. Okay, so I want to
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: put ancestors you have to see maybe if.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I can, maybe it's maybe it's it's nurture that you
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: like to dance and not in nature. I don't I
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: don't know what I'm saying here. Okay, you got my
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: my hypothesizing.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: No, keep going scientifically. Let's get some more theory.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Oh god, that's all I have theory wise.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Did you find anything about out about your family history
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: or anything?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I mean, without going into it, found a
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: secret relative.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't expect that. I know it. It was kind
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: of up the tree. So it wasn't like I have
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: a sister, and it wasn't that drastic. But did not
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: expect that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Whoa.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: But you know what else I found out. I'm looking
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: through ancestry at like your DNA matches, and I see
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the name of my dad's best friend who we grew
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: up with. Talking about the skiing. We went skiing with
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: this family in New Hampshire. We would go up, we
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: would share this like janky house with them. There's this
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: guy who's like my Dad's like they work together, best buddy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: There's his name on my ancestry as a third cousin.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: What and you just know this?
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: No, And my dad unfortunately already passed away when I
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: saw this, But I called up the guy and like,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: I was like, are you and he's like, yeah, the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: whole time we're related. So now these these kids I
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: grew up as family friends are actually like my fourth
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: cousins or something.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And none of you knew that, none.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Of us knew and we still don't even know the connection.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: It's weird when you get into third and fourth cousins
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: where it starts. It means less and less a lot less, yeah,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: but still is way more connected than anybody else. It's
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: a hard thing to parse. It's like, should I care
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: about you more? Yeah? Probably not?
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but wait, have you done any of this?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: No? I grew up and I was just about to say, you.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Grew up Mormon. And they have all the records.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: This is their bread and butter.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: So before ancestream came out, there was the library, right, yes,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: and you can go look up your records before the
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: internet existed.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they I think they basically like my mom does this.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: They like send her old records, old birth charts or whatever,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: birth certificates, ancient things, and she looks at them, the
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: scans of them, and then types out their information to
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: continue documenting these.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: People, like about her own people or just everybody.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: It's a giant volunteer project.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: And how did that start? Like why the Mormons? And
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: why why?
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: That's because it's because Mormons. This is a controversial subject
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: as they baptize dead people okay, into the religion, and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: so they get these names they're collecting, they're collecting members members,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and so they like have just endless lists of names
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: from history who they're baptizing. There have been some controversial ones.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Pretty sure Hitler got baptized at one point. You know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think that was the I don't think the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: end goal. But a side of fact, somehow somebody got
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: that in I would need to be fact checked, but
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that's true. But yeah, there are things
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: like that that happen, okay, and so and obviously there's
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: just a focus. They obviously love family history, loved each other,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: and there's a real push for family so they care
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: about it a lot. Yeah, And so to answer your question,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about my family history because it
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: was one of those things culturally growing up where like
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you know, I wasn't interested in any of it. So
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: it's like I was, I'm almost kind of I was
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: allergic to it. I don't care. Yeah, it's some people
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: who are from Scandinavia or something, but i've slowly it's
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: like Irish and Scottish and English and the Swedishish, German,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: various white people from around the world. But if you
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: ask my mom, I bet she could really break it
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: down for you. And you know, ancestry dot com. I
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: guess kind of just took the idea and ran with it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: They said, let's put some more computers in this thing. Yeah,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: and now the Mormons can't tell you if you like
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: cilantro or not.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: That's true. They don't have that edge. They don't have that,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: you know, if you like to dance or not, or
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: how wet your earwax is, which is disgusting, but that
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: was something I was surprised to see as a treat
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: I guess some people dry and some people have whity.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I know it's so gross. I just kind of genetic.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: What sorry to talk about ear wax everybody. I'm not
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: trying to imagine off your lunch right now.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: No, I just feel like, I guess I'm only used
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: to my own earwax, so I can't. I've never really
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: interacted with other people.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: That's true. That's probably good.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: So I might be a freak who knows that someone
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: might look at my ear wax and be like this
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: genetically this a monster. But I feel like it's pretty
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: normal earwax. I've never had trouble.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, good.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: They tell you shouldn't clean out your ears.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we shouldn't use a Q tip, I think, But
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: then what I don't know that that falls like low
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: on my list of problems concerns. Whatever are you using
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: a Q tip? No? No, No, I mean I don't.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I don't really focus on It's like cutting smoke everybody.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I used to use Q tips in
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: my ears. I'm still occasionally tempted. I keep them out
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: of my bathroom, okay, because if they're there, I will
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: use them constantly. It really is like smoking for me.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Jim's like, well, I need Q tips in the bathroom.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: It's like, well, if you put them in there, all yours, this.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Is really a thing you're tempted.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you hid them and I've of course found them. Oh,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: it's truly almost one to one with smoking. And now
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I'm probably damaging my ears.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, it's just so tempting.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: And it's not like I have a horrible ear wax problem.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: It's just like into you. I wonder if ancestor could
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: tell me that that you love Q tips. Maybe I'm
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: going to sign up for the website. I'm going to
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: send them all my blood. Okay, what do you do?
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: You swap your you spit into a little cup. Oh,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: you spit like a teeny little vial. Okay, Yeah, that
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: feels like not enough. I don't know it did the trick,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: So where are most of your ancestors from.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Well, they're all from what is now the Ukraine.

  Speaker 2: far back in American history. They were all in the

• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, I mean I grew up in Massachusetts where there's
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: you know, people that were on the Mayflower, but then
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of immigrants are too, So it's sort
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: of a mix of wasps and right.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: The Mayflower. When you can trace it back to the Mayflower, you're.
• 17:13

• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I would go on and on and
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: on about family history. That's kind of what the theme
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: of this podcast is.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: But there is how do we start talking about that?
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I remember skiing, skiing, Wow, Shosetski. How did we get
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: to the string? You athletic ability? Athletic ability as it's

  Speaker 2: Right, I bet you have an excellent memory.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: I do have a good memory. Min I think it is.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, I I mean, you just demonstrated you were
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: able to figure this out, this thing that happened six minutes.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, right, well interviews. Well, I'm very you know, I
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: was excited to until I started talking about earwax. Okay,
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: mad you're here, Okay, Wi, you're excited.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I was excited to have Rachel here. I just adore you.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I thought we'll have a nice time. Yeah, we'll move
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: on with our days.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Okay. Perfect.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: So I was a little surprised when you showed up
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: to my house late. Well, now you've really told on yourself.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I got lost.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: It was not a problem for me. I lead a
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: very relaxed life.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, but you're holding up.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: The podcast is called I said no gifts, Rachel. Yes,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: you showed up with a not only a gift bag,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: one that had some very specific instructions from the get go.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I had to put it in the freezer. And
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: can I do we talk about the gift now or no?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I've got wait oh, but we're.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Going to talk about the gift. Let me just explain
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: something about the gift everyone who's listening. I only found
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: out I was doing this today. So now, if I've
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: had more time, I would have, you know, thought more carefully,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: thought of something really cool, gone to like some thrift
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: store and found some cool item, as I'm sure a
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: lot of people do on this show. But I had
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: no notice in a town I don't live it. So
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: I walked to the Larchmont area, and you know, I
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: didn't like there's a lot of cute little stores there.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: You're like, oh my god, I can't get them a candle.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I can't get them a book. These are the like
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: those last minute like, oh my god, I need a
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: birthday present exactly. And then you I really started thinking
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: about gift giving when this whole thing came up. Gifts
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I received, gifts I've given, et cetera. So I think
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I found something, and then I found another something to
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: supplement the something.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I mean a preface past guests so much credit.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Oh really, Okay, I was imagining, like the range.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Is, you know, from garbage to valuable to meaningful. Okay,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: but it's all over the place. Okay, So it sounds
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: like you've already put in more thought than probably thirty
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: percent of out Okay, so you've aced the test. Uh, well,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I'll go get this gift out the freeze. I'll be
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: right back. Okay.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Now there's a there's an unfrozen part and a frozen part. Oh,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: the frozen part is generic. I wonder if you can
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: guess what it is. But let me show you the ungeneric.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, should we open it here on the podcast? Yeah, okay,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: let me do you want me.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: To do it?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: I feel like you're you are well.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: This part needs explanation.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I feel like you're gonna give me a dead mouse.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: That would be the amount of explaining that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Funny thing that happened about this first. This is the
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: main gift. Okay, I'm gonna open it, but it needs
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: it needs explanation. Wants to open it?
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Now, that's a norm a little bag spicles.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: It's a fragrance of some sort. It's almost like I
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: can't know if it's a room spray, body spray.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, tell us what it's called. Yes, fragrance library, Yes,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: fragrance library. And the name of the fragrance is redhead
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: and Bed.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, red head and Bed. Now let me explain a
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: few things. One is, I remember these fragrances from like,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know, they've been around a while, and they
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: really cool. Like the one I really like is tomato.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: It's most just like a tomato plant.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Oh so it's more like a jelly belly situation, I think. So.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they have all these they have like a delicious apple.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: It's most just like a Golden Delicious, they have sugar cookie.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: I don't really know what people use these work. But
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: then I was like looking through, I was gonna get
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: your tomato, right, but then I was I was kind
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: of run up, and then my eye falls upon redhead
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: and bed. But the thing is that that was the
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: tester because they didn't have any in the bath. Yeah,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: so it's a little greasy and it looks old and
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: it was a little bit gone from it because it
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: was a tester, and like, you have to have one
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: in the back. This is the whole joke. Did they
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: give this to you?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: No, unbelievable. That's the thing that.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: They charged me. They took off two bucks and I
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: was like two bucks. This should be at least half price,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: or give me give the whole thing to me for
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: five bucks, and they were like, well it's still pretty full,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: and I was like what. And I'm thinking like yeah,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: but it doesn't look gift worthy. But I never like
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: to make a scene or like push back on a
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: salesperson because I'm always just like okay, because I just
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: don't want to be that person. So I said, okay,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: so that's my eximation of why you have a greasy
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: bottle of redhead and bed.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, I want to smell this.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Let's see. Interesting. It doesn't even smell that good. I'm
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: gonna I don't know what it's trying.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: For, a very like chemical paint.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say it's smells very chemical.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: This is insulting to.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Me because it was in the freezer. But it doesn't
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: smell very good.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: There my hand.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I know you can throw this away, by the way,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: if you want, do you post photos of h of
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: course it doesn't like I don't know what I was
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: expecting a redhead and bed to smell.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Like paint thinner.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's there's no comparison smell, right.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you what notes.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no there's no notes except I was gonna
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: say chemical too. I can't believe that's the word.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Do you use? Yeah? And then like I mean, now
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: that I've touched the bottle, frozen bottle, the frozen bottle, there,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: there's a smell on my hand, but we can't tell
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: if that's from this or other testers who have been
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: spraying out.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: It's from that because the other ones really smell like
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: very specifically. Okay, I mean there was one called leather,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: and I was like, Oh, that'd be kind of funny,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: but who wants that smell?
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: This is the ideal. This is the most mystifying product
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I don't I almost want to look it up online
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: and see what it's trying for.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, let me, I'm actually gonna red head in bed.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Actually on a last would you google that and see
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: what's happening? I mean anyone in bed? I mean that's
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: your sweat.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you would expect me a little more musky, Yeah,
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: I use the word or like sheets, even like sheets
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: like a clean linen.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, right, this I.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Don't know what it's met exactly. So because I didn't
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: really like this smell, and I thought, you're not going
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: to like this either. This is just a purely a
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: gag gift to use the redhead thing. So then I
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: got you just a gift so you wouldn't feel bad
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: in here. Should we get into this, I mean, we'll
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: keep talking about I'm running the show. You run the show.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: You've got the gifts, right, but I had to get
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: you like.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: A makeup gift for this.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Let's take out the makeup gift and.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: General if you want to I understand.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: This is just I'm going to reach in here and
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: this is this is the thing I need to be frozen.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Yes, I mean that's just.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: So it's actually ice nice brand.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Because I was like, is he a chocolate I'm a
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: chocolate person, but I am too well. Jimmy texts me
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: that back after I also got a wild wild lavender
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: and chocolate.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: This feels like it might be a good combination of flavors.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe should I go get some spoons?
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: That's up to you, right, I can't say I would
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: say no to the chocolate. This is sometimes the people
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: bring gifts that they also get to partake in.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course, of course. And I'm gonna spray
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you in the face with the stmeter on at least
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: while I'm gone. Have you discovered what it smells like?

  Speaker 5: this website at perfume dot com.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Everybody's buying it for the Redheads and then everyone's disappointed
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: when they smell it. Sorry, Demeter, because I love the
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: tomato one. It smells like a tomato plant. Tomato plant,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: no where. I just smell it in a store and
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: I would never buy that. No, but it smells just
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: like it's like when you're little, you sell a tomato
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: right right, that's what it takes me back, Go get
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: spoons on the bones. Okay. Do people bring you food
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: gifts a lot? Because they don't, they don't have an idea.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I love when they do. It gets to go away.
• 27:41

• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, I love a food thing, even if it's a
• 27:49

  Speaker 3: It just gets I know, I don't care.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Do you care about okay, if you're good with it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: What is a gross food item?
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: You received a gross food item? Let's see. Naomi Parican
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: gave me vanilla almond gummy bears hm and they tasted
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: like teeth. Oh wow, they were. Oh thank you onlie
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: so sweetly getting me some of this wild berry lavender
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: ice cream. Now, I love a wild berry, but the
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: lavender is where it may be a bridge too far.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: You know what.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: You can't really taste my lavender up, thank you, so
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: it might just be uh it tastes like Redhead and bed.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Now I'm just kidding. I'm seeing some common notes here.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: When it describes it, it says a pop of sweet orange,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: just like red hat in Bed.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I wonder if orange is just an easy flavor to get,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: so they just put it in everything and that can
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: be identified by the user, and then everything else can
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: be a lie. Okay, how do you feel about this
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: wild bear?
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not really I'm not really a fruit ice cream person.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah it's honey, I got it in case you were.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, first of all, does anyone want more ice cream?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Right now? Okay, I'm gonna put in the freezer. So
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: it's not soup. This has been a very active episode.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm running a little story here.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I know it made you work for your gifts.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: It's so delicious, the wild berry.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: No, I mean I would always use my dessert points
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: on a I don't mean points like a but my
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: dessert merits on a chocolate. Yeah, that kind of thing.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when I'm going out for a treat, I just
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not ready to experiment exactly exactly what I want.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Good point, I might try a sample, Yeah I would.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think I would even bother being like, oh,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: you give me the wild berry laughing.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: No, I know me neither. I should have assumed a
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: chocolate thing on you.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: But anyway, it's weird when you meet someone who isn't
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: into chocolate. I know, I'm suspicious. Yeah, he was like,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: what has happened?
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Actually I just spit? Okay, I know, but I actually
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: never thought it was more. But when someone says they
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: don't like chocolate, they drop.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: In my esteem completely. There's immediate judgment. Yes, it feels
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: like a choice. It feels like they've decided they don't
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: like choco.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Feels like something's wrong with that.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's just such a it was like such
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: a universal flavor. Yeah, and you rarely run into someone
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: who picks a different flavor over a chocolate flavor. But
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: maybe they're better than us.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Maybe we just don't know it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe I do feel like I have pretty bass taste.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I like a peanut butter. I just learned that Italians
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: don't like peanut butter. Oh really, they hate it?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: How did you learn that?
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Another guest on this podcast apparently Italians hiss a peanut butter.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: They think it's they really hate that flavor. It's like
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: cats and whatever cat's hiss att.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite ice cream place you go to?
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, okay. Well, being from Massachusetts, oh course
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: you know this. But Massachusetts is like, for some reason,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: ice cream fanatic. So I like anywhere with, you know,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: homemade ice cream. So there's a lot of places on
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Cape Cod that I like, Oh okay and whatever. Just
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: growing up, I don't know there was ice cream everywhere.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: I'm boring myself again, but I.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Want to hear my.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Marvel that other places don't have as much ice cream
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: as Massachusetts.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Right. I went to a big ice cream place in Massachusetts.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: It's almost like a weird little theme park.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: It's like Kimball Kimball Farm.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Kimble Farms. Yes, Oh, I've been there there once, and
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I remember being dazzled by it.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Very good.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: They also had like go carts. I wasn't entirely sure
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: what the operation was, but I must have started with
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: ice and what were you doing there? I was visiting
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: friends living in Boston, okay, and I must have read
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: I didn't know if you were going to be like
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: I was writing on a blah.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Blah blah okay, on an ice cream the parks, Yeah, exactly,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I remember being very good ice cream, but
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: also being confused by people in Massachusetts call it a milk,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: but I know as a frap, yeah, which it makes
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: no sense about me.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: That's a I didn't even know that was a Massachusetts word.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: But they still have a milk.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not it's the same. It's the same thing.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: A milkshake is a frap.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But in Massachusetts, if you order milkshake, isn't it
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: like a thick thing that you can't drink?
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Probably?
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: And then a frap is like because I like to
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: drink the ice cream anything as easy as possible to consum.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I thought they were the same, but
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember being a little throwne and frap feels
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: like such a to do about the dessert. Frap. Until
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I had learned that about Massachusetts, I thought it was
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: a word basically that Starbucks had invented. But I guess
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: that's a frappucino. Which it's all a little confused. They's suspicious.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: There's something going on, something going on. But you like
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: a cape Caught ice cream? Ye, ultimately that's good.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: To cape Cod, cape Cod and ski.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, we're trying to build a character. Yes, snob Rachel's. Yes,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: ice cream snob Utah is very ice cream focused too.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: It is Utah, I mean because most people don't drink
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: or do anything like that. So like, the entertainment options
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: are more family from okay, so ice cream, jello, going
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: to the movies, okay, okay, So I feel like I've
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: had some pretty good ice cream. I don't know, but
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: now we've got like places like Jenny's, which it's literally
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: like forty dollars for an ice cream cone.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Oh you know what makes me really sad when you
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: go to get an ice cream cone and it's like
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: a tiny little golf ball. Oh and it makes it
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: like I'm not kidding, it like breaks my heart, like.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: When they hand you the tiny gulf Like, now I
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: might make you cut this because it makes me sound
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: super pathetic. But one time I was in La, Like
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: when I'm in La, like I'm not at home, right,
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: so I'm like it can get a little lonely sometimes.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: So I'm staying in this hotel and so this is
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: the stupidest story. But so I decided like, and isn't
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: it pretty rare?
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Like you go get an ice creacomb by yourself, like
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: that alone is like a freaking serend.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: That's sad.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: That's a sad activity, right, Like, but ice cream is social,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: like you're going out with a group with your kid whatever.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: But I'm like, I'm like, I'm gonna go down the
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: street and get because I deserve it. I'm sad. So anyway,
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: like go down to this ice cream place. I think
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: it's called Sultan's Straw. And if a free coupon should
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: arrive after this story, I'm not gonna be sad about
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: But anyway, so so songs, which is like it's kind
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: of like high I've never been, but I got like
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: really good ratings and all that because I looked it
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: up afterwards to horrible yelper revealing this about myself.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: But so we're not there's no way I'm.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: So I walk down the hill to the Sultan's John, okay,
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: and I ordered my sad ice cream and it arrives
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: and she hands it over and it was the smallest
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: ice cream scoop you've ever seen in your life. Okay,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: It's like my heart sank. Okay. So it was so
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: small that, like I realized, if I'd been with someone else,
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I would have had the nerve to be like, well
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: that's is that it? Like I would have said so,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: But because I was by myself, I just took it
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: like a sad ziggy characters like I just took the
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: ice cream and I was like visibly shaken, so that
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm walking back up to my hotel and myself
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: like I'm not kidding. It was like done in three bytes.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: The experience lasted like forty seconds, and then I walked
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: back to my and then I had this This is
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: where the story gets. It's even more embarrassed, so that
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: I'm like maybe they maybe they're really no make make
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: me really small portions. So I look at up on
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: yo right by the way I'm walking gonna tell the
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: ice cream is long gone. After like ten steps of
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: dead of walking, I'm already looking at and I look
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: up thinking I'm gonna see that a portions are really small.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: But the reviews it says that they're huge. And the
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: review it's like, oh my gosh, I'm small. It's like
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: a double large at this place and something. Then I
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: find out like what it was the exception what happened?
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Like everyone's talking about large the scoops, and I felt like,
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: oh my god. Anyway, it was like I'm still obviously
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: mad about it. It was like four years owes, you
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: you owe me like a double scoop for free, a
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: full box, because not only did you rip me off,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: but also you created an emotional experience that I'm still
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: we living four years later on a podcast for an
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: ice cream transaction. So anyway, that is my embarrassing pathos Layden.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: That to me.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I feel I feel like I got I got it out.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: That was a good started of that feeling fireworks emotional
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: emotional virus.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: No at that moment I empathize with you so much
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: in the moment of them handing you the small and
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: you're alone. There's nothing you can do some more, think
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: these teenagers like, oh you what are you? A page?
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: I cannot tell you as all this thing was it
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: like barely even like surfaced over the colne.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: It was like the smallest ice cream ever. So anyway,
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: whenever they hand you like, you know, well, while you.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Were telling you stories. Because I've always had and this
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: is this is not an advertisement for Salt and Straf,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: but they've always given me a normal scoop of ice cream.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: But Jenny's I've had some of these situations.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Not always I've never been to Jenny's before.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Delicious ice cream, but occasionally a little sweet for me.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: But go on.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: On a sewer. Okay, sorry, go on, I probably can't back.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna say anything, but you gave it to me.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: It is a little sweet.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Do you think it needs a little like you need
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: any break? Yeah, it needs to kick a little at sugar.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, or like a piece of dark chocolate in there
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: saying yeah, my tolerance for sweetness has gone way down.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: The desserts I'm eating are frequently basically charcoal.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: I should have got you the salted kermel that was.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: The ice cream needs that sort of thing. I'm dumping
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: salt on chocolate ice cream at this point. Delicious.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, sorry.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: But salt and straw.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: They this.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Whoever was in charge of your ice cream cone dropped
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: the ball, they sure did. I hope the company is
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: looking into that transaction right now, going through their records.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Four years ago. I bet, I bet location has need
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: to roll some straw West Hollywood.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: If they don't know.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: About that transaction, then ancestry dot com does. Wow, that's it.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: But I am going to stand up and say you
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: should be anyone should be able to go get an
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: ice cream alone.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: That's true. It's just something I don't.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: I support you.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: I don't do that often. And I learned my step,
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: I learned my love. There's something like sad about it.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know. That's just me judging me.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Well, it is a situation.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: You're normally with social and you should be social. Right,
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: I'll go to a restaurant in myself. I'm like another
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: town whatever, go to a movie, mom, I don't, I
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: don't have to think. But something about buying an ice
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: cream com by yourself.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's because it's unnecessary.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: It's something about it's like I deserve a treat. It
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: like something like something like feels like OOKI about it,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: like I'm gonna treat myself to an ice cream colm,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: But you are.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: I feel like you're a hero in that situation. Everyone's
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: saying that person's been there.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm helping people by telling this story.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, but I'm proud about going to sweet places a lot. Ultimately,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: the everyone will thank you.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Everyone probably can relate to the small cone sadness.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's such a ripoff. You shouldn't. You
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: should be able to enjoy an ice cream cone for
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: at least ten minutes. I really take my time.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: I revealed that about myself. Really the Barbara Walters of
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: the podcast.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: I get the darkest things out of people. I do
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of that's gonna have to be beeped out.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: That was a horrible story. No, I appreciate you telling that.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: And eating alone is a different thing, I guess because.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you're just like you got to eat on the
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: road whatever.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Right, and I'll have a book or whatever. I'm like, Yeah,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: I'm eating dinner. Leave me alone.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: Let's face the book is just there to let people
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: know you're okay with this.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Just blank.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: It's a mean time I treat myself, and this is
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: my mean time. This is my reading time.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I was told to do this by the artist's way.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, oh my god.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: I just want everyone to always assume I'm doing the artists'
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Wayes and movies, I actually think everyone should go to alone.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I don't mind that, although I must admit
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: I don't really go to movies anyway.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: I don't done with the movies.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: Well no, I mean like I watched them at home
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: or it's been a while since I've gone in there.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: I feel bad about that contributing to Hollywood's mind. Yeah,
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: like I need the movies to keep going, and I've
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: sort of missed that experience.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Well, once you get into the rhythm of not going,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: it's hard to break out of that. I'm currently in
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: a lull. You just have to force yourself one time
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: and then you're back into the movies, and then there's
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: a drought of good ones and then you're back into it.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: But I have memories of when I lived in Chicago,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: like there were all these little art movie houses and
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: remember like you'd find that indie movie and like, let's
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: go see this on Friday night, Like that was something
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: cool and I.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Felt like like you had really like found something and
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: you love doing the work to enjoy this.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: H yeah, yeah yeah, And you can't be distracted.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Right, And it was a limited time to see it.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: You weren't going to be able to just see it
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: in the billion choices of jah.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like that's gone away. So many things
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: have gone away.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Turn it take a sad turn.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Well, this podcast is a roller coas.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling so many emotions.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: But I yeah, I love going to And this is
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: a trick I do at the movies now is if
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: the movie's three hours long, I only go to an
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: hour and a half of it. And this gives you
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: a new level of freedom with the movies.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on, what movie are we dying? This
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: is real.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: This has happened several times, like on purpose, on purpose.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: It's my new philosophy. It feels incredible. I've talked about
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: on this podcast a few times.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: But well, give me an example of a three hour movie.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Avatar, oh God, hour and a half in I thought
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I know everything I need to know about this movie.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: I can go home. I've experienced whatever.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: This is.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: My apologies to Jim Cameron and A Submarine number two,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: John Wick four, which.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: I enjoy's seen any of those.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: But it's literally three hours of fighting, and so after
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: an hour and a half of fighting, I thought I've
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: seen enough people get thrown downstairs. I can probably go home.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Bo Is Afraid, which is the ari Astor movie with
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Joaquin Phoenix, which I enjoyed enough. Bo Is Afraid never
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: even heard of it. I enjoyed enough, but it was
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: just three hours. I couldn't do it. I can't sit
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: there that long. Yeah, so I went home. And when
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: you leave an hour and a half in, it's like
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: you broke out of jail. Even if you're enjoying a movie, Wow,
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: you can go around the mall and look at stores.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Everyone assumes you're still trapped in the theater. But no,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: this is your secret hour and a half that you
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: can kind of just live your life.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: I have to say, like, if I see three hours
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: on a movie, I don't really watch it.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Oh you're zoning out.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: I don't, Okay, So I don't make myself watch Oscar
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: movies anymore. That's good for you. That's the gift I've
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: given to myself.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: What an amazing life.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, what I mean is like back in the day,
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: i'd try to see everything. I'm not I'm not a
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: voter or anything. I don't mean that. I just mean
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: as a civilian that I used to like try to
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: make myself or if it was like the Action Hero
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: movie that everyone's saying I goes, but like then I
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: was like, wait a minute, I don't like these movies.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: I don't like Action Hero. I will not see war
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: movies because they make me too bummed down and like
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: heavy dramas, I just don't like it. So I've given
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: myself a pass, so I don't see any of those.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: That's really taking ownership.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Sorry for not supporting Hollywood in that way. But I
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: like comedies. You're watching comedies, I'm watching comedy. You're watching
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: light fair, and you're enjoying yourself. You're not subjecting yourself exactly. Yeah,
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: I'm still very much in a wanting to be part
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: of like to be able to comment for two minutes
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: during dinner. That's a good point. But I can't comment
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: on a lot of those kind of things.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're basically silent at every dinner At this point,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: people are saying, stop.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: About the movie. That's what I bring up. You guys
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: heard of Sultan Straw? Okay, sorry, no, I think needs

  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I've never seen it.
• 46:43

• 48:02
  Speaker 3: be ghost stories, psychic phenomena, weird eerie things that have
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: or it could be like like Amy Poehler came on,
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: she doesn't really believe in any of this stuff, so
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: she talked about the Enneagram personality test. So it could
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: be like anything woo, anything that's like I don't want

• 48:36
  Speaker 3: know anyway, But I didn't mean to bring up the

  Speaker 2: I have I have conflicting feelings about all and that's
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: why I'm not like.

  Speaker 2: Because people were like this happened to me.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, that's all people coming on saying. And it

• 49:14
  Speaker 3: mom from my son's school who has this crazy ghost story.

• 49:51
  Speaker 2: This is how we play gift to a Curse. I'm
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: going to name three things. You're going to tell me
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: if there are a gift or a curse and why,
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: and then I'll tell you if you're right or wrong
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: because there are correct answers. Okay, and there's a good
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: chance you could fail, and you've you know, you've had
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: some sadness already on this podcast. We don't want to
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: watch you walk away a failure, so be very careful.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: Okay. Now do I try to match what I think
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: you're gonna say or you do.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Whatever you want? Okay, gift or a curse? This is
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: ah Actually I do need to quickly. During the live show,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: we use some listener suggestions, and I simply didn't think
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: the people who had sent them in. We had an
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Ellen who suggested the window seat on an airplane. We
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: had Mark who suggested cash. And then this is tomatoes
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: and guacamole. U no, which just kind of mysterious. But okay,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: let's get into this. Victoria has suggested gift or a curse.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: People who walk dogs on a leash that fastens around
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: their waist.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: Fastens around the walker the person's waist. Yes, it's like
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: a bel I've never seen that even. I guess I'm
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: gonna say curse because I don't get why you're not
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: just holding it with your hand, but unless you a limitation. Okay,
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say curse because I don't get it.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: It's a curse.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: It makes it.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know what we're doing. Do you need both hands?
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: What do you need both hands for? Are you making pizza?
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: I don't understand.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: Is that an la thing?
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: I've actually never seen this in person. When this person's
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: send this in, I obviously googled it to get my
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: eyes on this product, and it seems to be at
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: least one person in a stock photo has done it.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: So but I guess I guess it's good if you're
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: dealing with like groceries.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: Phone fighting off attackers.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: Fighting off attackers, the doggy bag thing, whatever. But I'm
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: just gonna say that's weird.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: It's different.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: So it's worm with what everyone else does. That's a curse.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: No one thing about it to me is I get
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: a little I love dogs more than anything, but people
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: who are too comfortable with their dog interacting with other
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: people when they just assume everyone is comfortable with their dog,
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: I like you think about other people. I'm sure your
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: dog's lovely, but maybe not everyone's comfortable with it running
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: around your waist, racking them right right, So when you
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: have the dog on a leash with your hand, I
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: feel like there's a little bit more control there. And
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, I just don't understand this product. We should
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: stop selling it. O curse. Curse very good Number two.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: This is from a listener named Diego Gift to a curse.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Yellow popsicles.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: Curse Why because I don't like lemon as a popsicle flavor?
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: You're not into a lemon flavor anything?
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: Hmm, well what else would a yellow pop? I guess
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: it could be pineapple? If you go on, no, I'm
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: gonna say, curse. Why what do you say? You say, curse.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: I've only ever known them to be banana, which is
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: the worst flavor of anything.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, now I know what you mean, those ice cream
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: truck banana ones.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: No, they have the regular pop traditional popsicle in a
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: yellow the ones I remember from a kid. There was
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: a blue, red, yellow, orange, and brown.
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: Well, you're reminded me that the creamy yellow one. It
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: was kind of good.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but a banana flavored a regular popsicle
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: absolutely the worst flame.
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, you're gonna want a red or a purple, purple, purple.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Delicious grape. I can't do a root beer.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: No, I can't stand root beer.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: Awful.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: Beer needs to be excised from the community. Root beer flavor.
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: I don't care if it's a soda. I don't care
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: if it's a popsicle or a candy.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: No, to me, it just tastes like years in boy
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Scouts and there was always a root beer float awful.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: Anyone else, here's another beer I have? Haven't you like
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: tried to like root beer? Like it's the thing, Like
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: maybe I like root beer looks good, Maybe I like this.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: Then you're like nope, no, it's still not going to

  Speaker 3: cut it's it's you a lot about desserts on this.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Redheads and desert and okay, okay, very good, you got.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: I'm really getting overly passionate about these. Okay, sorry, go on,
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: all right, stoic. On this next one, I'm not so impassioned.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Okay. This third one is from a listener named Susie Gift.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: You're a curse rat tail hairstyle.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, I might be out of it and too
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: old to answer this, but I'm gonna say curse. Maybe
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: it's come back around and it's cool now, but I
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: just think of that as Kurt.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know, what do you say, Oh, Rachel, you
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: played the game so well until now. Why it's a
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: it's a gift.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: It's a gift.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know that it's ever been in style, but
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: it's always been interesting to look at.
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: That's true. We Allock says a lot about the wearer.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, you almost immediately know what's happening in that person's life.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: You see a lot of kids with just about to
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: say that, we're detually on the same way.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: Like I was gonna say, what I picture? I picture
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: a little kid, a little like hey, like a little
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: you can't see me right now, but I'm like, hey,
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: with a little tank top causing trouble completely.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: That's an interesting one because usually the rat tail child
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't have a rat tail parent, so the parents like, well,
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: let's get one on the kid right when you decide
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: to start growing your child's rat tag.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen one in a really long time, though,
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: I feel like, because I live in New York and
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: probably we see that's a real thing. It's cheesy, But no,
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen a rat I have seen a rat
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: tail in a really long time.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Have you I at least within the last five to
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: six years.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: You know, I feel I can see a lot of them.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: Disney World, Oh my god, of course.
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: I bet.
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: I bet if we went to Disney I haven't been
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: to Disneyland ever. I bet if I went to disney World,
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: I could spot it would be like a scavenger hunt.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: I bet I could find three rat tails at Disney World.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Within three hours. I bet, like an fcot, you're surrounded
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: by rat tails.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet so.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: But I love to see them. I support them. I
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: don't know that I would ever have one myself. It's
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: an interesting one because it's really hidden.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: Back there, so you can secret personality. Yeah.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: The moment you turn around, you're like, oh, you've been
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: interacting with someone with the rat and that I love.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: So it's a gift.
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: That's that's true. Okay, But you got two out of three, which.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: Is not bad. Two out of three is not a failure.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: I don't want you to feel like a failure in
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: this moment.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: You did not fail.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, and you you sort of talked me around to
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: the rat hill.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, and I'm glad I've converted somebody. Okay. This is
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: the final segment of the podcast. It's called I Said
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: No emails. People write into I Said no gifts at
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: gmail dot com. People are begging for answers and all
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: these sorts of things in their lives, and just out
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: of kind of the generosity of my heart, I help
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: you help me answer a question. Yeah, okay, this and
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: now this is one that we tried reading the live show.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: And we're interrupted artificially by something I thought of.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: Where was the live show?
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: It was a Dynasty typewriter. Oh here, yeah, right here
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: in Ilka, And we're going to try to do more soon.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: It was very funn oh cool, Okay, sorry, but interjection.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: But this one, we've got to get back to the
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: question because I stopped reading it at the show. This
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: is Deer Bridger on Ali's an illustrious guest. I hope
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: you were all well, the house dry, the backyard mostly tranquil,
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: the flowers watered, et cetera. I'm emailing you from the
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Chicago suburbs with a question about a situation I encountered recently.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: I bought a birthday gift for my sister in law
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: and scored a great sale on some clothes. I wasn't
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: sure if I could remove the markdown sticker without voiding
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: the return, so I left it on. It is now
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: several weeks later, and something about it isn't sitting right
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: with me. How should I do things next time? I
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: obviously think my sister in law deserves full price, but
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: at this point in my life, I got a shop
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: the sales. What do I do next time? Bridger? I
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: hope you were properly of This is just a little
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: in between. I hope you were scandal by your guest's
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: unwanted gift, and Guest, I can't wait to consume whatever
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: media you're promoting. You've got a new listener to Bou already,
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for taking my letter, and have
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: a good day. And that's from BO. Oh interesting that
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: we talked about. Bo is afraid everything is connected, right,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: everything is connected?
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: Is afraid of mark downes. Okay, so wait, here's what
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: I'm not getting. Bo left the price tag on the gift. Yes,
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: so Bo, you can rip the price tag off and
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: get like some sort of gift receipt, right right, I.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: Mean yeah, I'm getting a feeling that BO is not
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: familiar with modern retail or both.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: I was thinking maybe Bo is very young.
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like hitched ride. Well, I don't know if
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: on sale.
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: Has no No, I'm thinking no. I'm thinking maybe if
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: BO is young and BO doesn't know that, then you
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: don't you don't have to leave the actual price tag
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: on the clue. That would make sense to me.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: What I'm getting is BO is excusing bad behavior. BO
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: knew what he was doing. He knew the sister in
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: law would be offended when she saw that he had
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: bought her marked down merchandise, and now he's backpedaling, so
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: there's no excuse he should have taken it off. This
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: is bad behavior.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: But here's one thing what about when you give a
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: gift with the price you could rip off the little
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: actual number.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: I'm really Bo is after his sister in law, just
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: trying to stir up family drama. I mean, you obviously
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: make some good points about gift gifting, some very basic concepts,
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: and if BO doesn't know these things, then I've got
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: a listener that needs to rethink lot.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: All right, but so the sister in law never thanked Bo.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: There's no thank you, was worred. He committed a faux
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: pas a bopa if you will, But uh yeah, that
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: kind of that kind of sucks, like she should have
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: thanked him anyway, even if she thought it was tacky, right,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: because Bo did.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: Get a gift, money was spent. Thought it was kind of.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: Hard to get clothes for people too, because it's hard
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: to match their style.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: This is another interesting thing.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: You don't know them.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: I would never buy my sister in law clothing. Yeah,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: now we're getting, you know, a portrait of the podcast. Yeah,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: that needs to really be unraveled. Bo is buying discount
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: clothing for his sister.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: No, was it a scarf? Fine? Was it a dress?
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: Was it like a we need to talk, Yeah, micro Mini,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: you know what is BO dressing his sister in law
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: up in.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: Or even maybe it's not even her style, right, but
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: his sister in law still should thank him it.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: Was something given to her. Yeah, I feel like BO
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: should stop giving.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: I think Bo is a teen.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: Bo maybe a teen with as you're said.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: Bo isn't a teen, then BO is very insulted right now.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know Bo's freaking out. Bo turned it up,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: turned off the podcast. Early twenties maybe early twenties. It
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: does seem like they've got to shop the sales, So.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: It's okay to shop the sales.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: I encourage shopping.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: Don't save the price jag.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: On, never pay retail, right, that's what I say. Yeah,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: especially when you're buying sister in law or if you're.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: Buying a sample item, or you should not be paying.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: Did you hear that store that sold me the sample
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: size for two dollars off?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: That's so offensive. That's that's such a random number.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: It really is. Should and if you well, you'll see
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: this bottle. Ladies and gentlemen and everybody're going to see
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: that the label is oily. Anyway, Sorry, I'm not trying
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: to sway off of bow and Bose gifting issues.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: I feel like your main mission on this episode has
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: been to shut down everything on Larch Month.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: All of these BOUTINU. No, maybe we can't say the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: name of it, because if I'm going to complain this
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: much about it.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: It's a great store, It is a great but I.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: Don't want to. I don't want to complain publicly about
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: them and the two dollars.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: We'll beep out their name name, but we won't be
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: about the street there on. Bo, go to a store
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: with some fragrances, find the tester, get a discount, fill
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: it up with water, right and now no one knows
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: anything better or rubbing alcohol. Whatever you have might be
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: better nearby right in the redhead and bed and the
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: sistern law will go crazy. Bo, don't write back in okay,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: closing up the email, Rachel, what you've brought such beautiful
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: gifts of the podcast.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: Thank you. I mean it's a pleasure.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: I screamed that I will. Of course I will eat
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: the chocolate one. The other one's going to be there until,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: like we have another pandemic and.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: The grocery store is out. I know I was getting
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: that sense right after.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: I bought it too, but we challenged ourselves. We branched
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: out and learned that we still don't like that type
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: of ice cream, right, Which is important to know about yourself. Yeah,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: especially if you're standing alone in an ice cream store,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: you need to know. You should be as informed as
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: possible because you don't want a bad You.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: Don't want to go wrong.
• 1:03:12

• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Ben Holliday. And we couldn't do it without our guest booker,
