• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here. I thought I made myself
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: perfectly clear. But you're a guest to my home. You
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guess
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you're o presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: So how do you dare to surbey me?
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts, I'm pretcher Wineger. We
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: are in the backyard and the temperature is perfect over
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the weekend. This is something I just want to address immediately.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I had to stop in Redlands, California, on my way
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: to another destination, and I needed to pee. I went
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: in a seven eleven, was denied access to the bathroom,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: but was told to go next door, went next door
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: and was denied access again. And so well, if you're
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: at least if you're a seven eleven or a nail
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: salon in Redlands, California, and you think I'm not going
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: to go behind the building and pee, you have the
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: wrong bridge or winicker. I'm making a prediction right now
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: that there's a feeling in the air. Twenty twenty five
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: is going to be huge for public urination, because it's
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: insane to me that every business can't just have a
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: bathroom that should be a law. That's what I'm fighting for.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: If you don't let me use your bathroom, I will
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: consider yelping your business and then realizing it's a seven
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: eleven and knowing that will do nothing to you. So
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: just but then I'll talk about it on a podcast.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: So let's just Uh, that's what happened over the weekend.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I peed behind a dumpster and it felt incredible. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: felt like I was getting away with something. It felt
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: like I was taking revenge everything, and I was relieving
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: my bladder. So what a combination of feelings. Let's get
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: into the podcast. I love today's guest. I adore her.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: It's page Weldon page, Welcome to I said, no.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Gifts, Richer.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I just want to tell you, have you ever been
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to Redlands or you've only stopped.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I've only stopped and I will always just keep going.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I as I'm not from Redlands, but I'm from
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the Inland Empire, and I have to say that I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: think peeing behind a dumpster is fully in the culture
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: of of the Inland Empire. That is so I e
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: of you. I think that's completely right what you did.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Oh, no one would blame.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: You I was just camouflaging myself with the local culture.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Then yes, absolutely, people went there's another a Redland site.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: I'm good at just kind of blending into my surround. Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: it's just naturally and this worked. I am telling you, though,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I've had several conversations recently, not prompted by me, of
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: other adults talking about needing to pee in public or
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: peeing in public. It's gonna be big next year.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I think that's fine. I have no personal issue with that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sure whomever may have to hose down the area
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: might have an issue, but.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I'm not upset with you.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if you can find a nice out
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: of the way spot, yeah, if it's behind a dumpster.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Behind a dumpster, it's sort of expected. Worst things to
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: be dumpster, absolutely.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Worst things that have happened behind that dumbster.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: I think you're good. Yeah, you're set.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I just I do find it wild that businesses can
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: tell you you can't use the restaurant. Yeah it feels illegal.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it does feel illegal. Maybe it is.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's like one of those open secrets, like how
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: actually they can't say that they're cash only, like they
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: have to accept card. Oh, but everyone just says it anyway.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: It feels like in the same category of things. Yeah,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I mean I wonder if I could just start saying
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that's against the law, just make up my own thing
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: to throw back at them.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. If that worked fifty percent of the time, great,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: still better than your current hit rate.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, you as well try it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And also, like coming from the employees side, I
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: feel like I would be like, yeah, I don't want you.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: The alternative could be you doing something to the store.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I mean I'm not at that place yet, but there's
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: a chance I could have just turned around and been like, well,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I'm using the store.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: They may have just assumed that you see him nice,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: but you see him nice, so you seem like you wouldn't.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to put out a different vibe.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, to be worse, you're just generally.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I want people to think I bad, okay, all right,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: and not in a good way.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: I'm going to tell people.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: The rumor that I'm bad, and when people ask.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: About like why, I'll just pick I don't know, just
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: under all sort of bad. I have no follow up.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And then I and then I like completely panic and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I started talking about actually you're so great, and I'm like,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I was just joking, and it's like an
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: insight thing between me and Bridger. Don't He's not bad.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: But that'll get more ears on the podcast because you'll
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: be like, well, just listen to.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: The po listen to the podcast, and then you'll and
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: then you'll be in on the joke. And that's all
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: anyone wants this to be in on inside jokes of.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Course, of course. Yeah. But Redlands otherwise was perfectly fine.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: I got in and got out, and we'll just have
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: to find another way to the desert after after today.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know that there is another way.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: There's no other way.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: What is that the fifteen or the ten or I
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: think it was the ten, Yeah, the ten.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: And it felt like they were like it felt like
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Google Maps was like, oh, there's traffic, let's go through
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: this town to me, because I had never been.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Through hmmm, so interesting. Interesting. I can't say.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Where in the Inland Empire are you from. I grew
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: up in Temecula, California. Yeah, oh, Temecula. I almost went
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: to a wedding there this summer.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That's what I always hear from people when I say
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Temecula because there's it's it's kind of just like a suburb,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and then up the hill is the wineries and all
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the nice stuff. So a lot of people get married there.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Jim got food poisoning, so we couldn't go.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: But it was August and Temecula seems like a warm
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: place to be in August.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: So yeah, maybe it was ultimately a blessing.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know where the wedding was going to be specifically,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: but I would never go.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Damn, you didn't go to Temecula. That sucks.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Do you get back to Temecula?
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: No?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: My family doesn't live there anymore, so I'm never there.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Oh you do you have family in Reno?
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: I do?
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look at me, stuff about me.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: So you get to Reno?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I do?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: What's your take on Reno? I haven't been there in
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: a long time, but I feel like it's got to
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: be a night. I feel like it's underrated.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely that would be my stance on it, because
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: my parents have lived out there for a few years
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: now and I just feel like they love it. Every
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: time I go. My mom is like always looking up
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: new places to go. And my parents are fun, so
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: like whenever I go visit them, they have like fun
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: stuff to take me to go do. And it's just
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: like a lot of the area around around it is
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: very beautiful.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Right, it's right next. I mean it's so close to
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: like Lake Tahoe.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then lots of other little lakes and pretty areas.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And so where are your parents taking you and Reno?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: We've gone to the lake if it's the summer. Lots
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: of little restaurants and I don't know, you'd have to
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: ask my mom to pull up two fave spots. I
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: just get in the car, I get in the super
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Uo and I say, take me where we're going.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: That's a good thing to say in a super room. Yeah,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: trust whoever's driving the Superwoo to take me to a
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: good destination.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: It might be the Subaru commercial that I just recited.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure you're just remembering a super commercial. You
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: have no family in Reno. That sounds like a Superuo commercial.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Take me where we're going.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: That's a good slogan for them. They should consider it. Yeah,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: right to make SUPERU and SUPERU reach out. Do you
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: ever go to the casinos.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: We've gone to. There are restaurants inside the casinos. There's
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: like a diner in one of the casinos that we've
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: gone to on like Christmas morning.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: What casino is this again? I'm not sure because.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: I was just talking to somebody about the pepper Mill casino.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, that's one of them.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: He had eaten a ten egg omelet, and I'm not
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: sure how that fits into a human body.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess you're protein for the day.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I mean for probably three weeks, right, I'm not sure,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: but apparently they're famous for using ten eggs to make
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: an omelet, which feels like maybe too.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Many eggs, bit of a waste of eggs. Yeah, pin
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: omelet should be three three to four because you can't
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: do two. That's not enough to contain the contents of
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the You need at least.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Three and three even its probably too small.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Four is safer.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I would say, if you don't want to have a
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: mess on your hands, you don't want to be criticized
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: by peppers Whomever you're making an omelet for. Maybe it's
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: for yourself, but even still, that's sad to have to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: look at your messy omelet you've created.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I've never successfully made an omelet. It always ends up
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: a scramble.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I either it ends up a scramble or it's like
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: too like overcooked on the outside.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: It's just really hard because then the I mean the opposite,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: you end up with the wet omelet. Yeah, And to
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: successfully get the texture of an omelet, it seems nearly impossible.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: We never want to be thinking too much about when
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: we're eating eggs.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: That they're eggs, is I.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Think with the balance we want to strike, so they
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: need to be soft, but we don't need to have
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you know, you see the sort of like clear parts
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: in the clear.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Part, I'm out that'll occasionally happen. And if you get
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: them too like over easy or whatever. And it's why
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: I always say over medium, I do well. I can't
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: think about this, no, no, but over hard. When somebody
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: gets an overheard, it's a psychopath. That's that's the worst
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: thing every world.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: That person's being a baby about yolk, yeah, is my opinion.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Because they're kind of getting an almost hard boiled egg
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: at that point. That's so true, just a dry, disgusting
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I hope no one's eating eggs right now, just a
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: mouthful of eggs.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I always listened to I said no gifts over breakfast,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: and I'm feeling criticized.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Someone eating four over hard eggs. Their mouth's just bone dry.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: You know, it's fine, whatever your egg preference, but it's
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: not well.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I think it's more important than a sandwich. When you're
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: having a breakfast sandwich, if you have an over easy egg,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: forget it. Oh no, the egg is no longer even
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: part of the sand.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Very delicate situation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Over medium is even a little tricky.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna make a mess.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: That's why I almost prefer a scrambled egg and a sand.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: In a sandwich unless it's well.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: And when we're talking about an overheard I guess if
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: it's like a McDonald's breakfast sandwich, now.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: That is overheard egg.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: It's yeah, I would say.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: So, Or is that a McDonald's egg.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: It's a McDonald's egg. And if we're categorizing it, I
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: guess I would say overheard. Okay, there's a cat over here. Sorry,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just making direct.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: There's this beautiful black and white cat that is just
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: watching the podcast right now. I wish it would come
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: visit I if only I had a little chicken to
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: entice it. It was over here earlier in accidental they
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: scared it away, but now it's back, truly just prying.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: It comes around. There are two cats that come around,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: and I love both of them so much. This is
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: the one I see less often. And it's so it's
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: like a tuxedo cat. Yeah, a tuxedo cat just sitting
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: on the roof over there. It's really piercing eyes screen.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: At least you have any opportunity to take a photo
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: of this thing. We'll share this on Intra impossible unless
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: it runs away because it is very shy. Page is
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: taking This cat is now the third guest on the podcast.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: It's so kill you.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Oh I got a really good Yeah, let's get see.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: This is kind of the ideal version of a cat
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Where come on?
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: We're having.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: It's framed so beautifully. Page has really taken a frame
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: worthy photo of this Cat's gone.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm kind of a good photographer.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Whatever the cat has left, but it did provide a
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: little conversation and a photo.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I just felt like I had to address it. Otherwise
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: you'd go, why is Page not looking at me?
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Furious? If there had been a cat there and you
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: just decided not to tell me.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that I'm okay, cool. I feel really good
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: about what happened.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: A secret to keep.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: I would never keep a secret from you, Riture.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: You tell me everything. That's why I know about Reno.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I don't tell anyone about that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: This is uh my theory is the cats come around
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: a lot more often when I go to Costco because
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I buy the Costco rotisserie chicken and I throw the
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: you know, the leftover into the trash, and I think
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: they're like circling the area, and I feel bad because
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: they're not. They're never going to get it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and yet and you also don't want to just
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: leave it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Out, No, because of the raccoons.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Because they won't be the first to come.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, the raccoons will absolutely be here first. And then
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: who wins the raccoon the raccoons. The raccoons always win.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: They do kind of always win.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: They're the most powerful part of the community.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: They're so complicated because they're so cute.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: No, they're just a I mean, everybody has this problem
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: with a raccoon.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: It's just they should be less cute. If they're if
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: we're supposed to stay away from them, yes.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I think we may have talked about this on this
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: podcast before, but I think if we get just swapped
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: their personality with a possum, the possum should be as
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: dangerous as vicious as a raccoon. A raccoon when it
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: sees you should just follow over and act like it's
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: dead and mm hm, you can just harmless.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Because possums are cute except for their tail.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm unfortunately, I'm not on board an element
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: of a possum.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Do you know about possums that they only live for
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: two years?
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Oh weird? It's like a bug.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy? I think?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: And it's And I think it's because for the most part,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: it's because they're so stupid, so they like get hit
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: by cars and.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Like just average.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I believe if they were like in captivity and
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: like taken care of, they can live much longer.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: But average they live like two years.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing about possums is every one of
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: them looks like they have been alive since Earth began.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: So the fact that they're only around for two years
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: and they just look ancient and.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Evil, they definitely feel like time travelers.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: They shouldn't be here.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Out of some portal. Yeah, absolutely terrifying creatures.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm down with that personality switch. That sounds
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: good to me. I do a Freaky Friday for species completely.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: And people do train raccoons to live in their homes.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: But that for it's not okay, Nope, you're asking to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: be attacked.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: You're asking for a Travis the chimp situation.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: You're asking exactly like it is. So I feel like
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: sometimes too, you'll see like, oh, you know, it's always
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: somebody has like an account where they're oh, my pet raccoon,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and then they always have other pets too.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Of course, those poor pets living or.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: There, or they think they're safe. I mean, obviously we
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: don't hear about when it goes wrong. I'm sure they
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: just like delete their account and like never never tell us.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: That the raccoon takes over the account.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: The raccoon takes well everything, fine, they could type I think,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: oh wow.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Now that would be worth training a raccoon for.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: That would be funny. So ultimately sort of a moral
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: gray area.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: But we like it to see a raccoon writing a
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: letter on a keyboard or it's a novel or what
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: have you. That's very cute.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: That would be cute.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is just like because the
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: way the algorithm works, and it's just happened to feed
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: me these exact people. But it feels like most owners
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: of raccoons and like things you find in the forest
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: seem to be in Eastern Europe or like Russia.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I guess that's I haven't had that experience, maybe because
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: also I think I've taught my algorithm.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: I don't want to see that.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I find it upset, but I appreciate that you shared
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: with me something from your algorithm.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Algorithm does not know who I think. It's very confused
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: as to who I am and what I.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Want on TikTok or Instagram everything.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: The only thing the algorithm has figured out and it's
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: not working. It's figured out that I'm a gay man.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: And I think it's like these people want shorts, and
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: so I'm seeing a lot of ads for shorts that
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: are like nine hundred dollars. Well, you're not gonna get me.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, when you start getting I feel like whenever
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for a particularler clothing item, like I was
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: looking for like a nice dress for a wedding earlier
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: this year and I'd start getting ads and all the
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: and then I click on the ad thinking, oh, you
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: know what ultimately cool, I am looking for this, and
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: then you click and it's like a thousands of dollars.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it's more expensive than you could have imagined.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Who is if I'm if I have thousands of dollars
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: to spend on address, I feel like I'm not going
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: to buy it from an Instagram suggested ad?
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Right, you know what I mean?
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Right, Like I'm going to be more purposeful.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course you have the power to make get
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: exactly what you want.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Someone can find it for me.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's the assistance of the world who are opening
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: their their three thousand dollars address ads.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: And algorithm what their boss wants. Whoa cracking something very
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: big out right now.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: The original algorithm and no one talks about.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: It, completely dehumanizing assistance. That's exactly what assistants want, as
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: if their bosses don't already do that. Yeah, I think. Yeah.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Occasionally I'll see a friend I hate when I fall
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: into the trap of like I like that shirt and
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: they're like, oh yeah, I saw it on Instagram, and
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: then I feel like, well, it's not that interesting anymore. Yeah,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I should tell me.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't tell anyone when you like anything they're wearing
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: any compliments, no compliments, no thing.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: So what I'm saying is they shouldn't tell me. Just
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: make up a lie, say I found it under my bed.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: I yeah, this, I forgot.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: This actually just fell on my body.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I was born wearing gum.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: An ancestor gave it to me. This kind of thing.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I would never if I had bought something off Instagram.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: There's no way I would tell somebody else unless it
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: was like a kitchen gadget. Yeah.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I actually I'm not sure if I've ever bought something
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: off of Instagram. I did buy something off of TikTok
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: shop once.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: A lot of people are buying TikTok shop, but.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I regretted it. Oh was it what I wanted?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: So I wanted I have. I wanted like a portable
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: battery for my phone, and I have a phone case
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: that has a battery on it. But I saw this ad.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: It was like, it's like magnetic. But I came to
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: discover that it's only magnetic to the back of your phone.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: If you don't have a phone case. Oh on it. Well,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: that's worthless. I was furious and I never bought off
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: TikTok shop again.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: What I've never purchased off TikTok shop. Is it all
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: coming from the same place? Is it? Like I don't
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: understand because it feels like anybody can put up an
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: item and then it's for sale. Is that true?
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I think it's probably I'm completely guessing here, but I
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: think it's sort of like how sellers can be on Amazon,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Like you can put your item there and then you
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: can like reach out to creators and have them post.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: Right about just have to add that there is somebody
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: on TikTok right now selling jars of.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Air hair air air oh air.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, idea funny and it's funny, it's really So It's
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: like I think it can truly be anyone just putting
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: something up, and if it's a gag, people.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Are still into it. Yeah, people just want to throw
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: their money.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Also sells something else that they make, right, like some
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: sort of knitted item. But the videos are funny where
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: like people will ask, like, you know, obviously in the comments,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: what do you mean they'll do like a apply video
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: being like, you know, I'm glad they're fully doing a
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: bit right, or they're.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Like scooping air a bit that is also a scam.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Really good, but it's like it's such a scam, that
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: is it a beautiful jar?
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: No, well, sometimes I do think, yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's see we're watching the video here.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Great, and like it's not a scam because everyone knows
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: it's silly, right, you know. So it's like and then
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I do think it is driving to something else that
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: the person sells.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's cheese. I'm not sure.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: It's probably equally worthless in another way. Yeah, wow, well
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: maybe I need to start selling something on TikTok following
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: the bar is so low for products, people really don't
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: expect them to work. I think when you buy something
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: on TikTok shop, you're probably like, there's like a ten
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: percent chance this actually fulfills.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Completely blame myself for what happened with my purchase. It
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: was I fell into the trap, right, that makes sense. Yeah,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I wasn't like I've been wronged by TikTok shop. It's like,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: this is obviously my fault.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: I recently tried to send somebody. So this is a
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: long story. But on the Real house Wives of sal
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: La City, one of the housewives is being accused of
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: her jewelry line coming from Ali Baba. So I sent somebody.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: I thought it would be fun to send somebody all
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: of the items I found of hers on that I
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: found on Ali Express. I had never bought anything off
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: of Ali Express.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: I never have.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, the problems I've caused for myself and this
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: other person, it's it's gonna last years. I get four
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: emails a day updating me on the fact that they're
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: not even shipped yet. And everyone I thought they were
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: all at least coming from the same ish place. No,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: every one of these items is coming from a different
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: place right and may never even get there. And I
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: imagine one of these things is going to show up
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: to his house probably nine months.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and so I guys even be friends by that because.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Of what I've done, I feel like I've really given
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: him a job. I thought, Oh, what a funny bit,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: and ultimately I should have just bought I guess that's
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: what this housewife is doing the services. She's at least
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: collecting the items at her business to send.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Back out, or she's not having them sent directly.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Oh maybe she's drop shipping.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, it's the scam.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: You're right, Rose scam, right, Yeah, because she can't.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Be waiting nine months for these items.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't put it past unless.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: She decided this is my business plan, ordered everything and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: waited for them all to arrive and said, now I
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: start my business.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: You never know, you.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Buy nine months worth of the product and then place
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: your next order.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I mean that's what I would have done. Yeah, So
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: I guess that's why I don't. I'm not in thejewelry business.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: And that's the only reason.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: It's the sole reason keeping me from the jewelry RD.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: See you being a jeweler, you can make jewelry. I
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: bet you're creative. You can make something beautiful if given
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: the tools.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: No way. I was in ceramics in high school. It
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: was a disaster.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: I wanted to be in ceramics in high school. It
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: filled up. Oh a hot account, your blessings.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: It's a hot class in high school. Everybody wants to
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: be in there. Everybody wants to be in there. Yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: and not everybody's cut out for the ceramics course. I
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: was one of those.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: You weren't.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: You found that out, but you want to find out
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: in high school? Yeah, Otherwise I could have gone to
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: college for ceramics and found out hundreds of thousands of
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: dollars later.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: That's so true.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: I can't throw a pot.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: It does seem it is.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: It is also more vulnerable to take a ceramics class
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: as an adult, it does, right, Like if you it
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: hurts more to be bad at something the older you get.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: I think. I think.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: The older you are and you try a new thing,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: the more vulnerable it is, and so you find out
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: that you're bad at it.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Personally, I would give up right.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Away, of course, that's my entire remo.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and maybe I would try again in years.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: After everyone had forgotten that.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: After everyone who's like three people that knew I tried,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: they're dead, they've died. I only tell people who are
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: much older than me about my new adventures in life
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: to be safe.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: It is a little tricky too as an adult to
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: be like, oh, I'm going to be creative. It's tough
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: people because all of your friends are like, oh, they
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: think they're creative, so cute, and now we have to
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: kind of support them, and we all know that we're
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: only being nice. So that's a tough spot to be
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: from a starting place as an adult. That's why you
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: got to start ceramics early.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, you'll never ceramics.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Don't even think about it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: I'll never do it.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Well, look, there's something else that we've got to talk about. Unfortunately,
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: I've been having a very nice time up until now,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: but I've been dancing around something with you. I was
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: so excited to have you here today on the podcast.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: I thought, I haven't seen page in a while. We'll
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: catch up, we'll share secrets, et cetera. No no hurt feelings,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: no bad vibes. The podcast is called I said no gifts,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: and so I was a little surprised because I do know.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Emails have been sent, texts have been sent, the name
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: of the podcast has certainly come up. Yeah, and then
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: you come trotting into my backyard holding what couldn't more
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: clearly be a gift. This is a gift for me.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I would say yes and no. I would
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: say that things were about to get complicated a little bit.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I'm obviously aware of the podcast. I'm a fan, I'm
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: a listener.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Well, there were gonna quiz later. I'm going to really
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: drill in and see if you're I wish you would,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: but if I started asking specific questions to find out
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: if you actually I hit me. Not not in a
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: million years.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: You don't even remember what you've said.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: I certainly don't. I mean I would be the one
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: that failed that.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, personally, every time I've ever done a podcast, it's
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: my brain has emptied of everything I've said completely.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: It's coming from another person. I think. Yeah, it's like
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: another one spirit that takes over my body.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I would say you should you should open this, okay,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: and then you know, we can talk about whether it's
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: a gift or not.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: All right, So it's in that we talked about this
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: before the podcast. Beautiful wrapping paper, some gorgeous flowers and
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: polka dots and the cutest little bow.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: You gotta put a bow.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: I love this style of bow where it's like a
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: back of a dinosaur, the spiky.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: It's giving Sarah from Lamb before Times Sarah completely Yeah, yeah,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: uh huh. I think the wrapping paper is from World Market.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: World Market. I want to say, I love World Market.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: They have stuff like this. That's what I love about that.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they kind of got everything. I buy my Coco there.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: I had no idea they've.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Got their little secret grocery store in the back.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: I used to have a boss that would always call
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: it cost plus World Market and it made me want.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: To kill her.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's too many words. Just say world market.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're being too formal and you're showing off that
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: you know the full name.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no one else knew the name. I would be confused.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: I'd be like, is there another World Market.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: It's like when people do you ever encounter those people
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: know a celebrity with a stage name, they know their
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: real name, and then they feel like I would to
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: see Saint Vincent and people were like shouting out Annie
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: her mouth.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: She doesn't want to hear that.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: We don't think you're cool or know her because you
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: know that. And that's the same as calling it cost
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: plus World Market.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: You're name dropping, and cost Plus World Market is kind
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: of the Saint Vincent of retailers. I would say, Okay, well,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: let's dive in here. I would say it's about the
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: same side as a vinyl record, maybe slightly smaller, but
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I'm bad with shapes and sizes.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I'm bad with shapes and sizes. O God, this is yours,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: this is my vinyl.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: And I didn't know you had vinyl.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: What you'll notice is I signed it on the back.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: This is Bridger. That'll be fifteen dollars love page going
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: to get from me.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: If you pay me for it, it won't be a gift.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: That's why it's complicated.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: So it's a little bit complicated. Please don't pay me
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: for it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: But going into question my integrity as a host.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: How committed are you to not receiving again?
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Little? Did you know? I have zero integrity and that
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: makes you bad? Yeah? Yeah, that's a detail.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: You when someone says, why is bridge are bad? No integrity?
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: He doesn't follow up on his promises and has such
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: supposed beliefs about whether someone should bring him a gift
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: or not.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I heard a rumor Bridger has no integrity. Okay, well
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: you brought this is your new This.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Is my stand up album called I Turned Out Fine.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: And it's got this fantastic picture of you on the
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: front eating spaghetti.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a recreation of a childhood photo which is
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: on the back where I'm eating spaghetti covered in margarine.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Oh margarine, interesting choice.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was what we called butter in my house,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: but it was margarine.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: That big tub, oh my god, that tub is as
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: big as a can of paint.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: It was a mainstay. That is accurate. It's about size
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: of faith. And so I recreated the photo margin.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Well, so a fun fact.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: So Catherine Leone and Kelli Bigger Stuff, who did the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: photo with me, they also made props for it. So
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: they made that margarine.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, it's beautiful. Yeah.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: They bought I think it was a sour cream tub
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: and they spray painted a yellow and made the label
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: because that is no longer right.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: There's no way that yeah still exists. What about the
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: squirt that's a that's just a current. Yeah, it's a
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: modern square. Yeah, they can of squirre.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: We thought that the logo hadn't changed enough that we
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: needed to make that extra effort.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would argue it's a completely different can.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: You should have been on the creative team. Yes, I wish,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: I really wish.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: That's why I'm on so many creative teams. Yeah, pulling
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: out these details for people, I've got that artistic eye.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and yet you think you couldn't make jewelry my.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Goodness, Well tell me why you brought this today?
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I just wanted you to have it. It's something
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I'm proud.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Of and it's pretty recent, right, Yeah.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I released it in September end of September with a
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: special Thing Records. And it's cool that the vinyl is
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: also green, which is it's like it's like recycled vinyl.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: They use like scraps of a certain color.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: It's like emeralds.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be hard to pull out of this.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Sometimes the static causes an.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Issue, but it's like a green and bowling ball.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's they're all unique because they're like blended up.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Oh that's so beautiful. Yeah. Why aren't they doing every
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: record like this?
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: I honestly don't know.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: When I was told I could choose that, I was like,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: why wouldn't you choose that?
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Right? And that's why you have integrity, Bridger.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: I have to be honest.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: I'm a little bit nervous right now because I have
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: to tell you something. What I actually got you two gifts.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: What I knew I was going to bring you this.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: No matter what, this doesn't feel like a gift to me.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: This is a promotional emotional tool.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: But I also I think when I mentioned to you
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: that I would love to do the podcast, I said
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: that I'm a really good gift giver.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's the only reason I allowed you on.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I felt the need to pitch myself. I
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: felt like I should say that, trust you, I'm a
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: really good gift giver.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: It's a problem.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: I feel almost guilty sometimes when I give people gifts
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: because they're too good and nobody can ever match me. Right,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: But I, as I said, I'm a list of the podcast.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: When I was listening recently, you were talking about ASMR.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Oh. Yeah, sure, And.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I know you said you forget everything you say, but
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: maybe you'll remember this. You were talking about a specific
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: type of ASMR video.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes, but you MMR video.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, do you remember what it was?
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's somebody like at a national park or a
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: museum with a little map telling you how it works.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: You know, like they're like telling you where to go
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: or whatever, and they're marking the map.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah with what with a highlighter? Yeah, with a highlighter.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna say that because I was like, maybe
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: that's too many details, but that is one part of it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I think you also said specifically someone telling you to
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: go to how to get to Old Faithful.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Wow, you remember a lot of flings.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: So I went onto cameo.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: What and I found an ASMR creator and her Name'satasha.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Here she is. This is unbelievable as.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: This, So I in trouble. Let's just say trouble.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: And it's ten minutes long, so we do not have
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: to listen to the whole thing. I wish we wouldn't,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: but I think we should. Let's listen to the first
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: bit and then I have some some time codes. I'd
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: like us to sort of jump.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited about this.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: And I obviously told her your name is Bridger, and
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I said all the things that we okay, great, just sadden.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: She's typing, Oh.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm approaching. Excuse me, excuse me?
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: How can I help you?
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: I'm looking for old faithful.

  Speaker 5: I am, I'm a barker. I can help me with
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: whatever you mean?

  Speaker 4: Can we pause? She's kind of created this character where
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: she's new.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: And she doesn't know if she can't answer your questions,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: like she can look it up in the database. She
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: kind of gets into some of that okay, which I love,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: and she does like start. What I will say is
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: I did ask for her to use a highlighter. I
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: don't want you to be disappointed. She definitely uses a
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: green sharpie.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Oh but that same texture, But it does.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: There are some nice moments of the sound.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: If it was a pencil or a pen, it would
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: be ruined.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: I said, not pen in my request.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: My dream would have been shattered.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Well, it's and I after listening to the episode, I
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: saw that what you were talking about, there are a
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: lot of people out there with pens, and it doesn't
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: and it's not the same.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: The same thing.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: If you could skip to like threeish minutes in it's
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: she likes starts telling you about like places you could
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: stop along the way, which I think is really nice.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: She also does, like multiple times throughout repeat that she's
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: a park ranger.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: She really got into it, Yeah, she like. Honestly, I'm
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: I'm very pleased.

• 35:30

  Speaker 3: Not a lot.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I know you and I can be long winded, so
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: I had to edit myself and I felt the need
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I almost I noticed in writing it. Initially I had
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: a desire to be like and that that doesn't make sense.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Let me know and thank you so much. I was like,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: you actually are on a space for that. That's for later,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I guess I'll tell her thank you, but she did
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: a great job. I was really I had a few ideas.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: I did text you asking if you had any food
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: allergies because of a different idea that I changed my
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: mind about.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: So so when did you produce this video?
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: I got it this morning?

• 41:23
  Speaker 2: to bring you cookies and then I saw the zach
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: nooy Towers just brought you cookies. I was like, I
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: can't do that, but like, ultimately I think it's for
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: the best because.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: This wash cookies. I mean, I hate to gift, but
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: you can make yourself a cookie. Yeah, I can ask
• 41:40

• 41:44
  Speaker 3: like burn this stuff like physical media. I need this forever. Yeah,
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: you need to put this on vinyl.
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: Oh I'm going to release.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: This as a vinyl and then get sued by Natasha.
• 41:55

• 41:57
  Speaker 2: as the recipient of this cameo.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Wow, it's really that's I mean, you've gone above and beyond.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: I just can't believe have you ever done another cameo before?
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: I did one? Other cameo with a group of friends.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: We we tried to get the guy from say anything to.

• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Cameo and he basically the cameo cameo. We're waiting for

• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Professional musician, wasn't a lot, I wasn't able to record audio.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Oh he's a tough It.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Was weird, it was, but it was like it was
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: kind of funny because it was bad, but it was
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: also bad. And I'm it was like not crazy expensive,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: and we split it between a bunch of friends as

  Speaker 2: friend who ordered it got a refund and hasn't told us,
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: but I'm pretty.
• 42:57

• 43:00
  Speaker 2: She did this knowing all along she would get a
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: few bucks from each of us.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: She was looking to steal ten dollars from all of
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: her friends.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I think so. But yeah, I've never done another cameo other.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Than okay, yes, the only I've never done one. Jim
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: has done one. He got one for his mom from
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: a soap opera star that she's had a crush on
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: for like forty years.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: Did she love it?
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: She went crazy? Oh my god, his name's like he
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: has some nickname like Sweaty Muscles or something something.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Like that could be very muscular.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's probably in his seventies at this point.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: He's trying to keep it together. Okay, I assume at
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: some point he was kind of a hot shot soap
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: opera guy.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: I do find cameo sort of tragic.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I think it's the perfect, perfect,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: like to give a cameo to someone who's older, who
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: like doesn't totally get what cameo is and means.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: Right, doesn't understand like that.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: It doesn't understand that it means that your favorite person
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: is like in dire straits.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: That's the new slogan. Your favorite person is in dire straits. Cameo.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: A person needs some more passive income relative relatively passive income.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: That's so true though. Yeah, they're like, oh, I guess
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: that this I'm just special and this must have cost
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: thousands of dollars and just let the person assume.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: That, Yeah, one of the top gifts that I think
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: you don't want to tell how much it costs if
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: it's like a celebrity gift, because like obviously for creators
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: like Natasha like it totally is just part of the
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: business as opposed to the celebrities who are on there.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit like right at one point, they
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: were potentially making millions of dollars.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: It's like how I feel when I see Mandy Moore
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: in those TJ Max ads.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know Mandy was doing TJ's.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's like, obviously, I hope she's a lot
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: of money from This is Us because it was a
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: network show.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: There's never enough money. Once you get a taste of
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: the This is Us money, you want more money.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: My hope is that she's not doing that because she
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: needs to and more like they came to her with that,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: she was like, I guess, yeah, Well, while she's collecting
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: her residuals from This is.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: Us, she probably is. I imagine TJ's is paying her all
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: kinds of money.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: I'm sure.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, is she currently employed outside.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Of I guess, I don't know what she's Well, she
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: is doing a podcast called That was Us.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: That Oh okay, Well, that was sure.
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: Now this is Us.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: That was us, And now that sounds kind of accusatory.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: Um, yeah, she's saying that is not me anymore.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: I've got to be very clear.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: I am not a Pierson anymore. I am a fan
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: of This Is Us. I really like that show.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: I've only the only episode I've seen is ten minutes
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: of the last one. Somebody could do she was on
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: a train or something. Yeah, spoiler she gets on a train.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: If that's a big part of the series, I'm sorry.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: It's it's very funny because that scene is like very
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: beautiful and emotional, But it's funny if you don't know
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: the context.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: And listener, if you don't want this thing spoiled for you, well,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: actually keep listening. I don't care. Is the train going
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: to heaven or something?
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: In so many words, yeah, she's yeah, she's dying, and
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: she's sort of like reliving like people and moments of her.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: Li Oh okay, so she like in reality, she's probably
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: in a hospital bed and she's imagining I'm on a train,
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: because I assume the character is obsessed with trains.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's it. That's what I never really thought about.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Why it's a train they probably had one to shoot on. Remember,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: it was either that or a fog machine. And yeah,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: must put her on a train. Train feels like that
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: a train is the thing you go to Helen.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, actually that's very true.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: So maybe that's the big secret.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know that it's really said if she goes
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: to heaven or hell. And that's why I write my
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: fan fiction about her time in hell. Rebecca Pearson goes
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: to Hell. That's canon.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: Your fan fiction. This is hell, this is hell.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: This is what happens when after your husband dies you
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: marry his best friend.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, is that what happens? She should go to hell.
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: It's complicated, but yes, I'm.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: Taking a real strong stance on this character. She should
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: burn for eternity.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but do we blame Miguel as well,
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: the best friend.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Well, he'll probably go to hell as well. Yeah, but
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: they can't be together.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Mm and Jack is in heaven, myle event Toglia is
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: in heaven.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: He isn't a person who dies because the appliance starts
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: on fire.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, it's.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: A really tease it for so long in the series,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: like you you know he dies, but.
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: You don't know how.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, I had never watched the show when it was on,
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: and I binged it this past year, so I really
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: know a lot of like it's recent in my memory.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: Maybe I should get into it.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: Maybe I do like it.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: Is like sincerely or is there like an element of
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: like this. I know, I realized this is a little,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: uh melodramatic, and it's fine.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: I would say nine sincerely ten percent, like this is
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: over the top, like because there obviously are moments that
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: are like, oh my god, this is so like dramatic.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: But I also I'm like, but it's also compelling, So like,
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: what am I like? How much am I going to
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: analyze my enjoyment of this? You know, like I am
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: compelled and I want to know what happens, and I
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: do care about the characters.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: Right, And so this is the problem with my entire
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: life is I can't do things. Yeah, I will just
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: be constantly thinking, analyzing if I'm enjoying and why I'm enjoying,
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: and so ultimately not enjoying.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: You might have a hard time with this as okay,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: but I loved it.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: I mean I loved those ten minutes on the train.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Watch the Pilot. Okay, the Pilot is a really good pilot.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: And they do put them in like old people.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Clothes or yeah, because it takes place like we're constantly
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: flashing back and forward.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: And when we flash back, it's not like flashing back
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: to the two thousands and then they're in the future.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: They're like flashing back to the seventies or something.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, it starts. Everything starts in the seventies, okay, yeah,
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: or yeah, like late seventies because in the first episode
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: the triplets are turning thirty six.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: It's like their thirty sixth birthday.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: Oh three of them. Huh wow.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: I almost would prefer the show if it took place
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: in like twenty fifty five and then they were flashing back.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: But then you probably won't have the crock pot.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be harder to place it in time
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: right and things we know.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: I get. Yeah, it would probably be an instant pot
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: that explodes in his face or something that kills him.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: But that's it. There's always room for a reboot. I
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: wish they would Jack killed by an air fry or something.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: Everything's different this time except the same act that she
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: goes to.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Hell, except for the fact that he dies and she
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: goes to hell. Yeah, and he goes to heaven.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: I'm ready, well so excited about my ASMR video, Natasha
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: will just be putting me to sleep.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: I hope it genuinely helps you.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: I cannot tell you how many times I've googled and
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: then got right into YouTube. I've gone on TikTok, I've
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: looked for this, and as you know, they don't exist.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: They don't exist, and some people have really put in
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: an effort. They'll put on like a Park Ranger uniform,
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: which we don't need.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: No, it's the.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: Sounds that matter.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: It's the sounds that matter.
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: But they all forget about the highlighter. And so now
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: I've got the one of these that exists, and maybe
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: it'll inspire some other creators.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe. So you don't have to share this. This
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: is yours, This is my personal little treat. What's ASMR
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: for you?
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: I do like the whispering. I enjoy a good.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Crinkle of something, oh you know, sure? Or I like
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: the ones where it's like makeup brushes.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I wonder is there some sort of like
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: memory thing also attached where like because I don't use makeup,
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: I don't feel like that would really have any effect
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: on me.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I guess, because yeah, I don't really I
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: guess the whole thing about ASMR is we like don't
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: totally understand what is happening.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: Mmm.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: I do feel like I remember the first time I
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: felt like the experience of ASMR, but I like didn't
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: know that that existed.
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: But it was when I was in.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Like a I was having a meeting with like my
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: college counselor, and she was just like telling me like
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: what I could do, And I was kind of like,
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: why am I so relaxed by this even though I'm
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: kind of also stressed about my future. So maybe I
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: would maybe I would like an ASMR video. Maybe I'll
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: order one from Natasha of her as my college counselor
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: telling my course catalog and what I could do.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: I don't think I got a college counselor. I think
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: my school counselors failed me in a huge way.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Well, this was my college counselor at my community college
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: because my no offense to community college. But because I
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: didn't really have somebody at my high school who was
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: like telling me what schools I should realistically apply.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, I went through this exact experience. Yeah, my high
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: school counselor was just always bragging about how her brother
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: had a job in Hollywood. But despite me it like
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: mildly expressing interest in it, she had no interest in Yes,
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: she just wanted to brag about him, so good riddance.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Was she Mormon?
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Do we know?
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Probably? But yeah, asmr Yeah, it's the same thing for me.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: I've been haunted at or at national parks and museums
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: until these things became popular. And what the twenty tens.
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that feels true.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: And like we became aware or at least the larger
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: public became aware of it. Yeah, and now I've really
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: secured my ultimate asmryah gorgeous. Well, I think we should
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: play a game.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: I would love to play a game.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: Let's play Gift a Curse. I need a number between
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: one and ten from you.
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: Seven.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: Okay. I have to do some light calculating to get
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: our game pieces. So right now, you can promote, recommend,
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: do whatever you want. I'll be right back.
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, I guess I'll promote.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: You can buy my album on vinyl it is fifteen dollars,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: or you can listen to it wherever. But I would
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: say then just take it as what it is. Which
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: is a promotional tool, and then I guess I would
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: just be promoting me. If you want to give me
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: a job or anything like that. I'm free and obviously hilarious.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Obviously you should also watch This is Us. It's on Netflix.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: I also watched all of Desperate Housewives recently. That's kind
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: of what I'm getting into. If anyone wants to just
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: talk to me about Desperate Housewives, I'm promoting that as well.
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: Reach out. They should not have killed Edie spoiler.
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: Alert should go to hell?
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: Sure, based on the rules i'm to understand about how
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Edie definitely goes to hell.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, everybody, fine, Page Page is so funny and
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: just delightful. I've worked with you, It's true. We worked
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: on Corporate together, and I remember combining forces in a
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: big way when we were writing Oh Yeah, the good
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Job episode because I had to really fight for an
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: element of the show and I felt your support and
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: you had a great joke that I think might be
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: the last joke in the show. Yeah, do you remember
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: what this is?
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: The scene is the like the count off?
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Right? Yes? Yeah, there's like a there's a car saleswoman
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: played by Lauren Lapkus wonderfully, but she's eventually discovered to
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: be kind of a murderous car saleswoman that's trying to
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: escape the country and ends up killing shooting five FBI agents.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Right, And what we're following the whole time is she
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: wants to get a five star review.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, five out of five, five out of five.
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: So when we had these five.
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: People, when she's done, when this murderous car saleswoman is
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: done killing these federal agents, she says five out of five.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: And then I remember distinctly being in the writer's room
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: with you, and then you pitched the idea of another
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: agent coming in and her killing him and saying six
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: out of five was yes, I'm pretty sure.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Or was it that she shot four and then a
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: fifth person comes in?
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: No, it's six out of five. And we don't condone
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: the killing of any one obviously, Okay.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: And I actually am now remembering this because I write,
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: and yes, of course we don't, but I feel like
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: the it was one of those classics moments where somebody
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: is arguing like, well, that doesn't make sense, and I
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: was being like.
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, that's why it's funny.
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: There was a huge argument because they wanted her to
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: just push the FBI agents over, and I remember I'd
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: rarely get out in a writer's room. I remember yelling,
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: if we don't have a car saleswoman kill five federal agents,
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: then what are we even doing here?
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: I remember now, oh my god.
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: And again, we don't want federal agents killed. It's not funny, no,
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: but it was just so absurd that this essentially like
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: a Buick saleswoman becomes the ultimate villain. Yeah, not Buick.
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: I think we had to name it a different brand.
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: We wanted Pontiac and then Pontiac we couldn't because of
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: the copyright.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: It ended up being it was something you you said,
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: because it's like a car that's not made anymore.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I wanted Pontiac. I wanted it to be a
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: Pontiac Firebird or Sunfire or something, but we ended up
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: calling it like the brand. I think it was like
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: Saturn or no, not even Saturn. It was Jupiter. Jupiter,
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: fake car, fake car. But I mean, the thing was fakes.
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: What are they talking about?
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: When I watched that episode of Corporate it was really
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: hard for.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: Me to find.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: And then I watched it, I thought the whole thing
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: was real.
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: I thought it was a documentary.
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: I literally thought that those people died.
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: And this woman on the lamb.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: I know Halloween's past, but man, I'd like to encourage
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: anyone out there next Halloween go as those five.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: And six agents. Will not that be such a good costume?
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, the deepest costume.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: You would have to explain so much.
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: There would be a lot. I mean again, listener, more
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: ears on this podcast. They would just send them this episode.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, listen to the episode. Listen to this episode of
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: the podcast. Don't watch the episode.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, now that we've really I've completely derailed the show,
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: don't apologize I'm saying I'm sorry. I'm not sorry. I
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: look in the camera lot. Okay, this is how we
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: play Gift or a Curse. I'm going to name three things.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: You're going to tell me if they're a gift or
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: a curse and why then I'll tell you. Tell you
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: if you're right or wrong, because there are correct answers. Okay,
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: you can lose. Oh, and I should remind the listener
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: that you can now buy the home version of this
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: at exactly rightstore dot com.
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: Are coming.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, the holidays are just around the corner, and this
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: game will start fights. So you want to you know,
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: you want to ruin Christmas. Get the game. That's all
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say. Okay, Number one this is from
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: a listener named Andy. Gift to a curse being the
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: only man invited to a baby shower.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, this is interesting because I have been the only
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: woman in a grooms party, which I feel sort of
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: a similar feeling the only man invited. I assume, gosh,
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: I and.
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: I'm getting too in the weeds.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: But is it like, are you the only man because
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: you're a guest of someone there, or are you a
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: friend who didn't.
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: Want to be left out?
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say just curse because I think it's a
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: curse to be invited to a baby shower in general,
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: because you have to get a gift and pretend to
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: be excited about the baby. And yeah, so I guess
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: I'm taking out the fact that you're the only man
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: and just saying in general, curse.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: Wrong, it's a gift. We all know what's happening here.
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: All of the ladies are saying, do we invite the
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: gay one? Yeah, and of course we do. It is
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: a horrible thing to have to go to the baby shower,
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: any shower, it's such a boring event. And then the
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: ones where that I've actually never been.
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: To one coming you're saying it's horrible, but.
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: We love that including or at least release, you know,
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: just pointing out, Look, here comes Bridger. We all know
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: why Bridger is invited. He's one of the girls, and
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: it's an incredible it's just something we all know what's
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: going on, right, and it's ultimately, you know, it's such
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: a gift interesting, absolutely no evidence to back up.
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: I guess if I do think back to my experience
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: being a grooms woman, it did give me a certain
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: feeling of like, I guess I'm cool. I guess I'm
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: one of the guys. And that is a nice feeling.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: I guess, yes, it's a nice feeling. It's a nice
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: feeling to sort of, uh get to be. I don't know, fine,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: I lose that.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: Round and I think you do lose the round. And
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: I think it gives us a nice little piece of
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: slang to refer to a game man. You know, it's like,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: you know, he's the only man invited to it. He's
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: the only man invited to.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: To my baby shower.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: It's code. It's ultimately code cod It's been around for ages,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: and uh, it's so old fashioned. We all know what's happening.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: Okay, good question.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: When people write in with their suggestions, do they say
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: whether they think it's a gift or a curse?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: Occasionally and I ignore it.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, I just I don't want to answer, like your
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: belief is the.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: Old Yeah, my knowledge is the ultimate knowledge. What you
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: know is what is fact is backed Yeah. But yeah,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: when they write in, I think a lot of times
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: they'll write in something that is horrible and they feel
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: the need to be like I do think this is bad. Okay, Okay.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: Number two, this is from my sister, and she kind
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: of gets priority when she submits things. My sister, Sarah
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: Ashley gift her a curse. People waving you through a
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: four way stop even though they clearly got their first curse.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: Page almost walked off the podcast.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: There is nothing I hate more as a driver than
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: when we are trying to be polite instead of just
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: following the rules, because now you've endangered all of us.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: We are all operating from a set of rules that
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: we know, and no one is a hero for waving
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: someone in like just go when you're supposed to go.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: Hesitating and doing the wrong thing is when accidents happen.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: Page wrong. It's a gift, and I'll tell you exactly
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: why it really it is one of the most infuriating
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: things that could possibly happen to a person, and it
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: taught me. I really had to learn a lesson in
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: the past. Just in the past few months. I had
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: to say, I have to stop being so mad at
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: these people, because I was getting to the point I
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: was yelling things like, you've been living there your entire life.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: You're a naturalized citizens of that stop sign. You could
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: run for president of that stop sign. I was so
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: mad at these people. They had they had been there
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: waving way before me, and I would get furious. I
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: was thinking, why am I who cares? And so I
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: really grew as a person thanks to all these horrible drivers.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: And now get to I'll pull up, they wave me through,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: and I say, I'll take it. You're bad at driving,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: and I'm headed on my way. A nice sense of superiority.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: To you because you get to go a little sooner.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: I get to go a little sooner. And I've evolved
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: as a person. I'm now and evolved.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: So you're saying I'm not evolved.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: Exactly in so many words, but I mean it is
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: one of the most maddening.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: It makes me.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: You brought up something that I like talk about all
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: the time because it bothers me so much.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: Is politeness on the road.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: My neighborhood is littered with four way stops, and so
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: I'm seeing every type of behavior all the time. Yeah,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: and so I've had to really just come to terms
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: with no one knows how to use a four way stop,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: but we should. It's very simple.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: It's so simple.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: But for whatever reason, people have decided all of our
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: brains will break down when we pull up to this.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: Everyone thinks, oh, this is my opportunity to show I'm
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: so nice. I just think you're stupid. Actually, oh that's
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: just my opinion.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: All right, Okay, you've gotten zero so far and doing terrible. Okay.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: This third one is we don't know who it's from.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: It's from the We got some from the Instagram live
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: before the live show, last live show. So my apologies
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: to whoever this is gift or a curse? Someone reciting
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: a poem to you from memory?
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: How long is the poem? Can we talk about that.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: Poems can be any length, could be the odyssey, it
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: could be a haikup, this is.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: A hard one.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: I can't say this has happened to me, so I
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: guess except in a school environment where somebody is doing
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: their presentation. I don't know why I said school like that.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm gonna say gift because I think ultimately
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: that's kind of sweet. I think that's cute that somebody
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: loves a poem so much that they memorized it and
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: they want to share it with you.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: Gift.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: It's a gift, I mean, as you said, what a
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: beautiful thing and sweet, also potentially terrifying. I mean, it
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: can run the gamut of emotional feelings, like the mood
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: can be. If that were whispered to you from somebody
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: behind you in a movie theater, what's happening? If it's
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: a dear friend, you think, oh, they love it and
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: it's just such a beautiful thing. Do you have any
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: poems memorized?
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: I don't think I do, not like a straight up
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: like I have.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: I feel like song lyrics obviously I have, but I
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: don't know that I have any poems summarized.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 5: You.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: I think I could probably, like, maybe not verbatim, but
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: I could probably I know, like a kind of weirdly
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: devastating that I really made an impression on me. It's
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: very short. I remember because I follow like an Instagram
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: account that like posts sold poems. Yeah, I can't remember
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: the name of it, but they should I try.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: I think you should absolutely try.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: It's kind of a devastating if I remember correctly.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: That is my If we're not writing a devastating poem,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: what are we doing?
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: It's a story sort of question d a riddle or
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: a joke.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: Art is supposed to hurt your feelings in my opinion.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna try this. It was from like a
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: it was from like a Japanese poet in like the
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: eleven hundreds or something, I don't know, like a very
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: old thing. But obviously this wouldn't be the Japanese. Okay,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: everyone forgive me. I'm trying to access my memory to
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: show off I'm not looking at and also everybody prepared
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: to be devastated, and I'm gonna I'm gonna do this
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: as dramatically or as beautifully as I cry. We might
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: all cry. This might touch something for all of us. Okay,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: it goes A thousand years you said, as our hearts melted,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: I look at the hand you held, and the ache
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: is too much to bear. I think that's it on
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: Ali's can you try googling that?
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: So I've got a thousand years said, let's break it down.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: It's a. It's a tough one. It's a. It's a
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: to me. Yeah, it's some sort of loss, you know,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: either through death or through someone leaving someone. Yeah, I
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: don't at least how close? Was that?
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: Very close?
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 6: A thousand years you said, as our two hearts melted,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 6: I took it. I look at the hand you held,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 6: and the ache is too hard to bear.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: Oh what did I miss? I think it might have
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: been just some light phrasing difference. Yes at the end.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: Wow, good for me.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, Oh it was actually the eighth century.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: That's whitch.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm an absolute fraud. The fact that I have
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: recalled anything for my brain, this is a first for
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: the podcast for me to remember something.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: That was really good. I don't remember anything.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: Isn't that a sad poem?
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: That's really sad?
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: Just the line I look at the hand you held.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: Even just the first line, A thousand years you said, yeah,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: you know you said, oh, basically you said forever.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: You know, heart wrenching, and here we are. So it's
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: nice to know that people in the eighth century were
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: also kind of just doing these We all have emotional
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: yeah lost it always it comes for all of us.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: And then only a few of us choose to write
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: a poem that bridget Wineger remembers centuries later beautiful. That
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: person really made an impression on me. Do we know
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: who wrote it? Thank you for sharing Internet.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I was literally gonna say, I
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: was like, probably anything I could come up with is
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: maybe like a Shell Silverstein like, but I feel like
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: I can only remember the names of the books.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: I hope I'm not butchering this.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: But Lady Higory, Oh, Lady Higary.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: Hickory, hgg you r I in English?
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: Good for her?
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I know that we're like coming to the
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: end of the podcast. But have I ever told you
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: my Shell Silverstein story.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: When I was in fifth.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: Grade, we wrote to our favorite author and sometimes we
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: would get a letter back, and if we did, the
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: teacher would like read it out loud, and we got
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: a letter back from Shell silver Scene and my teacher
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: did not like pre read it. He like opened it
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: and was reading it and it literally was to a
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: classroom full of fifth graders and it said something like,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: dear page, thank you so much for your kind letter.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately Shell passed away last year. Oh and he read
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: that out loud and it like all that's how everyone
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: in mike fifth grade class found out that Shell Silverstein died.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: What was the reaction.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: I feel like it.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: Was just like he like stopped reading the letter and
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: we like read the book we were reading out loud
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: that day or something like we moved on.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: The teacher must have been learning in that moment.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: He must have. Yeah, because we all thought we got
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: a letter from Shell.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: It was brutal to hear.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know exactly how it affected me psychologically, but
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: it definitely did.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: Wow, what a.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: You'll always remember, Yeah, that Shel Silverstein is dead.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: You'll never forget.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: I absolutely remember.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: Like so many people forget. Well, you got one out
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: of three. That's not a bad and we got a
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: poem out of it. I feel good about that. Oh. Yes,

• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: to move back home, fall back on your other job.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: And now you have hundreds of hours of recording time
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: to hit that little red button and get going, and
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: you've got an eager audience ready to listen. It's a gift.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: Everybody should have to record a voice note on every app. Okay,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: on at least what do you think it's a gift.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: You're calibrated well on this podcast. I have to go
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: meet somebody in the flesh, and I have to get
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: in my car and drive however many minutes to meet them.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: I want to understand that there are at least a
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: few chemistry markers that we have checked off, and if
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: I can hear their voice and make sure that it
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: doesn't sound awful, that is a gift.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, that is a gift.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 6: And also it does help a situation like if you're saying,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 6: if you send one and somebody's like put off by that,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: then you know, oh, this person has something to hide.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: I have nothing to hide.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 6: I'm going to send this. They're going to hear my voice. Right, Clearly,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 6: they have something to hide.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: Now, I know not to engage.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: And what kind of things are people saying?
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 6: I mean, most of it's on hinge, so it's usually
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 6: on their profile and people can like for me example,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 6: I shared the last time I think was the last
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 6: time I cried, and it was listening to the How
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 6: to Train Your Dragon soundtracks have perfect played. I played
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 6: a clip of the soundtrack O dream Works is Coming
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 6: for You, Yes, exactly. Well it was the reason I'm
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 6: not playing it on the podcast. But yeah, it's like
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 6: it gives you a chance to like showcase a little personality.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: As you said, an audiobook can never hurt. Yeah, it's
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: like not just can I hear if your voice is
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: strange in some way, so I'm not visibly surprised in
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: real life. But also, like you know, it's just so
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: much easier to get a sense of someone's sort of
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: vibe and energy from their voice, yes, and how they
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: actually talk right, as opposed to you know, some people
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: have a hard time writing a thing A thing.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I will say just any element of
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: a dating app is a nightmare.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: Oh it's it's embarrassing no matter what, and it's yeah bad.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: But I think when I have seen a voice note,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful for it. I personally do not have one
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: on any of my profiles. But you could sing a song,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: I could sing a song. I'm giving you a beautiful
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: poem to tell your Shell Silverstein story.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: Or just say Shell Silverstein is dead. Nice quick a.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: Fun fact about me, Shell Silverstein is dead.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: The men will be lighting up, very funny. You will
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: have so many dates. All right. This is the final
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: segment of the podcast. It's called I Said No emails.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: People write into I Said No gifts at gmail dot
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: com begging for answers. We hope me answer a question
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: I would love to. Okay, let's see here. Okay, this
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: is dear Bridger and sparkling guests. That's a nice little
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: thing about you. The Christmas gifts at my family's annual
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: gathering have simply gotten out of control. My husband and
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: I have two kids under ten who are the only
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: kids in the family. In the past, we've tried to
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: institute a rule with my parents, brother and sister in
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: law to not buy any presents for the adults and
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: only buy for the kids if they want to. Okay,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: and I'm just gonna stop right now. I see already
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: two other things in parentheses or three. There's gonna be
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: a lot of following here.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: I'm creating a family tree in my mind.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, I mean, we all have to Okay, However, the
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: gift rules have evolved from no adult gifts parentheses never happened, okay,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: to one or two nominal things for the grown ups
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: parentheses also never happened, to a dozen often higher value
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: items per adult parentheses always happens. So what does this
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: mean We're always giving everybody a lot of expensive items?
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: Is that clear that these parentheses are not helping me?
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: I want the.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: Writer to know I'm completely throwing me okay, But basically,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: I guess what we're to understand is it used to
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: be only gifts for the kids, and now it's gotten
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: out of control where people are buying for the adults.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: Right. Yet everyone continues to say, let's not do this. Yeah, okay.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: This in addition to the mountain of gifts the kids get,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: which is honestly way too much. We've tried again and
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: again to get our family to not buy us anything,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: but it never seems to work. On top of this,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: we feel the pressure to buy them gifts since they
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: are getting us lots of things in addition to spoiling
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: our kids. Please help us de escalate this mutually assured
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: destruction in form of rampant holiday consumerism. Thanks, and that's
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: from Riz. Okay, so I again barely followed what was
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: happening there. But basically, what what she is looking to
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: do is not have as many gifts be given.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, am I correct? I think so?
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: And I guess it seems like a semi large family.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: No, it's very small. I mean well, I mean actually,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: whenever I say it's a small family that's coming from
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: a Mormon background.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: As an only child who just goes to her parents for.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: Christmas, a lot of people, but I think this is
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: a normal It's a husband, her two kids, parents, brother
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: and sister in law.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's their kids.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: Entially, they're only two children involved here.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: Gosh, I mean maybe is a secret Sannah in order?
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: You know, so I guarantee that each adult only gets
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: one gift, right, right? Because I imagine it's like, if
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: you're only getting one gift for each person, then that
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: still means each person has multiple gifts, right, And that's
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: how it starts to get out of hand. But if
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: if we still want everyone to get a gift, we
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: just assign, right, the kids should get a bunch of gifts.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: Get them a few things money there, get them freaks
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: I love it, get them something.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: The Christmas morning. Get on Christmas morning. It's an expression
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: they'll take as much as they can get.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like that works. I feel like another strategy,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: if she wants to be a little bit more subtle,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: is get an expired like credit card, put it in
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: her wallet and then say I want to take everyone
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: out to dinner, and then she you know, goes to
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: pay and it gets declined obviously it's expired. And now
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: everyone's like, oh, something's going on with Rizz's financial situation.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: Maybe we shouldn't do gifts this year, And now the
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: problem is solved trickery making hints about right, it's gone
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: too far, it's financially I'm ruined.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yeah, which it is, well, there is, Sorry,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: I'm just thinking about it. Is like it it's vulnerable
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: to say like, can we do less gifts, because then
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: inherently everyone's gonna be like, right, of course they don't
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: have any money, like what is everything okay? Like, but
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: I also feel like, honestly, every uh, every Christmas where
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: someone has been the one to be like, let's not
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: do a bunch of gifts, we still get like a
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: couple things each, right, and it's nice, But I think
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: even just like putting out the vibe of like can
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: we not do a ton this year? Does tamp that
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: down a little bit, right, And personally, I think most
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: people would be relieved.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: Right, I guess I'd an anonymous email, so nobody knows
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: who's having a financial problem.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just go full Grinch just fully like.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: Christmas start now.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well we answered Rizz's question perfectly. Riz don't write
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: back in please, oh page I'm I mean, what a
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: gift you've given me. This is a top ten top
• 1:19:29

• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: the point when it doesn't we don't stop recording, and
