  Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: perfectly clear.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: When you're a.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Guest to my home, you gotta come to me empty.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: And I said, no, guests, your own presences presence enough.
• 0:31

  Speaker 3: Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Britchard Wineger. Oh
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: what a week? A lot of I mean, let's just
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: talk about my personal life. What are the highlights for me?
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I got an ultrasound and I lost twenty dollars in
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: a slot machine. So those are the two peaks of
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: the week for me. And I imagine I can't bring
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: up me getting an ultrasound without clarifying that turns out
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: everything's fine. My kidneys and bladder are working perfectly. The
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: doctor used the word perfectly. So there must be something
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: else wrong with me, But for right now, the target
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: concern is not a concern. So everybody relaxed about my kidneys.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: That I mean, that sums up almost my you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: at least on a micro level. My week. The ultras
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I will say, the ultrasound. If you've never gotten one,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I've gotten one. You've gotten we'll talk about I guess that. Oh,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: we'll get to that. Let's just bring in the well.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: First of all, I'll just remind you get on the patreon.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: We appreciate everybody coming to the patreon, and we're having
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: the time of our lives. I'm producing too much content
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: for the patreon, to be honest, it's a bargain. Get
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: over there, Patreon, Colm Slash. I said, no gifts. Let's
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: get into it with our guests. I adore her. Everyone
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: adores her. It's Kate Burland.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, long time coming.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Goodness, see, I know, welcome to I said, no gifts.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: We've got to talk about ultrasounds.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Vaginal Oh, vaginal vaginal ultrasounds by choice. I have never
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: been pregnant and starrying to catch up with me. I
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: want to brag. I once had no ovarian sispers.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, oh is that yeah? And is it painful? Like
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: before you go to the doctor, like you're like, oh god,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: something's happening.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: We'll go by the night, throw it from the pain.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I go, hello, next day going and they go yeah,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: they wand they go, yep, there you go. I was like, okay,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and that's kind of just fine.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's over. Yeah, how fascinating.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: And then let's just say I had another one but ultrasound,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: but I've never had over the over over.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Yah, And it was like, I mean, they had kind
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: of spaw music. They had the weird AI video of
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: art that every doctor's office now has. It's just kind
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: of like supposed to be a serene scene, but you
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: know that it's nowhere you haven't. I mean, it's not
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: relaxing to look at because you know it's not. It's
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: like the computer's idea of Sorrento or whatever. But they
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: did have music playing and the jail they put on
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: you is very warm, so if you can like ignore
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: just the underlying dread and the unknown about what could
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: be wrong with your body. Yeah, it was kind of
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: a nice exponent. Although they had two different technicians do it,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Like one did it for a while and then one
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: took over.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I don't understand what one could know.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: You got, you got someone trying to figure it out
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: learning on the job.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's probably what was happening. Someone was shadowing for
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the day. Interesting, Yeah, because the second one did my bladder, yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: and asked me if my bladder needed to be emptied.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: It didn't, but then she insisted that I empty my bladder,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: so they had to go into the bathroom and pee
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: while they all sat there in the dark.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. When I had my ultrasound, similarly, she
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: was like, well, she's talked down to me. She was like,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you know, it's really important me to go to the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: bathroom you completely empty your bladder. And I was like, well,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I thought I had bitch. And that really stuck with me,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and I go, am, I am I cutting out too early?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: How I mean, you would have to cut out so
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: early for that to be noticeable.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: But I guess, like, yeah, it's like what there's like
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I no, no.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I feel like most people, I'm not.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Save a little for later, that little treat. Yeah. I
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: don't know, but it haunted me.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: That's a really weird thing to say. I know, I
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: don't understand. I can't imagine going into a especially in
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: a doctor situation, and not just filling it up or
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you know, emptying it out.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I've had I have pea anxiety or like like I've
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: had to have you know, when you give the sample
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the doctor, I'm hanging out by the water cooler me again,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I take four five minutes.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I had one of those where I had to go
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: get like the whole situation, my panel's done, and had
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: just stupidly peed before and then just was kind of
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: pacing in the bathroom for fifteen minutes and finally was
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: able to produce enough pede that they were like, well,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: we'll take a look, and it was enough. So you
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: don't need as much peace.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You don't need to fill the cup. And a lot
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: of there's a lot of confusion about that. You don't
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: need to fill the cup.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: You doesn't need to be overflowing.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: It's almost just like, I think you have just.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: A couple of little well not drops, but yeah, yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: a squirt squirt. So I learned that that was a
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: good lesson to learn, I suppose. But it's terrifying when
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: you can do that and you think, well, now what
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I have to hang out at the hospital.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: For no, no, and you think of them mocking you.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And yeah, they're all having a lot. The other thing
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I did this week was gamble, which I haven't done
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: in at least a decade. And have you ever gambled?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: It just doesn't take from me. I don't I don't
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: really like games. I don't really I don't know I did.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And then this is a brag. Where was I? I
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: was at some casino once and I truly, but what's
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the thing where it's the big roulette?
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And I thought it was. I was like forty five
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: black or whatever, and it landed on it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: How much did you win?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty bucks? I thought that's it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: See for me, that would be the beginning of a
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: grand that would be an electric shocked. Well, I was
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: kind of like one hundred and fifty dollars for free.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Are you ever tempted to say roulai rulay? I sometimes
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I'll see that and just fred, But I think it's roulette.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I don't French never got in for me. I don't know.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: How did you take French in high school?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Fanish?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Spanish? Yeah? I took French? What a waste of Yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: only to be confused about gambling. Yes, performance I'm not
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: a big gambler either. Jim likes to gamble, but I've
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: demanded he not gamble since we basically began dating. Yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: and we were in Palm Springs and unfortunately we just
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: had too much time, and he asked very nicely, and
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: so I thought it through and set down some ground
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: rools and said I will be in control of every time.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: To a gamble hit a max.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, And he said I'm only going to take out
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: two hundred dollars and I'll give you twenty for slot machines.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: And I was like, well, who cares. It'll at least
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: give me something to do. But then I kind of
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: learned that I don't really even know how to operate
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: a slot machine, which feels like it should be pretty easy.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: It was this crank, you're not using the crank, there's
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: all the buttons.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: You didn't even get the crank anymore.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I was tempted to, but then I was like, what
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: if someone sees me try to use the car all
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: of these pro gamblers around me. So I was up
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: by two dollars at one point, and then gambled it
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: all away because well, I gambled nine dollars away because
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I again didn't know how to use a slot machine
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and gambled too much. There was a woman having the
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: time of her life. She had a little dog in
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: a purse, She had her own glass of wine she
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: was pouring.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, doing it sober is bizarre. Who's sober gambling? Guess
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of people. Actually, no, I know, I was
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: gonna say a lot of people, but who are really addicted?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, they're just like smoking completely. I mean
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: you have to be very away because you're up all night.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I gamble. I guess I am addicted to gambling,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: because that's what. Of course, the social media is, right,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: so you're fresh, and it's like you might get a
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: cookie or you might not. Yeah, it is exact, it's
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the same thing. And then they keep you, they keep
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: you enticed by every little feeder drop a couple likes.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Oh you got a message?
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Make it never start. I'm going to start smoking while
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I'm using Instagram.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: No, just kind of.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I hate it so much and it's inescapable.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Hell, am on seven day cleanse right now?
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Are you really?
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Day's day two?
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Wow? What a time to be on a cleanse.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I've done it sometimes where I do like months, like
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I go thirty days, right then a sixty day.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: How does that feel?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Immediate relief?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I was right on this kick probably in like the
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: last week of February twenty twenty. It's like I've finally
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: done it. I've kicked it off. And then we went
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: into lockdown and said, well, no.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: It's over.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll look at this for forty eight hours forever, ikare.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I haven't gone back out of it. And it's the
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: one thing I don't do is look at it immediately
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: in the morning anymore.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: It's incredible.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I have to have had breakfast and read something that's
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: not on my phone. Good for you, But how long
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: you were seven day cleanse? Why did you pick seven?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Just a week? Just classic?
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Are you online at all for the next week? Eil?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And I'll let you know. Sure, I'll go on a website,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I guess, but I just.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: There are only two of them less, there are not
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: enough websites left. It's so frustrating for me.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I don't have TikTok okay, I knew if I assigned
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: up for that's so far. I just should it's over.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: So I'm elderly, so I just have Instagram. It's really
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: embarrassing to be addicted to Instagram.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's so embarrassing. It's not even it's like, you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: it's like Facebook, Yes, essentially like being on Facebook and engaging.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I deleted my Facebook way back when, and then I
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: went back on because I wanted to do marketplace.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: It's the marketplace. It gets you every time.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: And I had to do huge things. I had been
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: off for ten years maybe more, and it was such
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: a thing to get back in. I finally had to,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: like I got back into my account to see the
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: people that are still it was it was really I
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: was like, they're still here and it's the same figures,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: it's the same strange people and like my wall and
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: it's like happy birthday for like the last ten years.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Oh no, we're just they go and I have to say,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I was like seeing people go, this person's dead, this
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: person's married, this person. I mean, it was crazy.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: That's like going into a haunted house.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Did you look at like your most recent message you
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: or post from a friend, like what was the last
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: thing somebody?
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I saw some messages and it was all
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: just very banal.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: There was it just but.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: It was a strange thing of like that, and I
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: should leave Instagram tomorrow of course, never return. And then
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you go back on ten years and you go, oh look,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I instead I was living my life for ten years.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Because I go back. I opened the Facebook room. You
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: guys are still in here. Clanging against the walls, like.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: This is my big problem because there are people on
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Facebook i'd like to, you know, spy on Yeah, they're
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: like that's the sort of person. I do want to
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: see how they're like behaving on the internet. And unfortunately
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not on there anymore, and I know that they're
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: just mutating there.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: It's very strange on there. It's like everyone's like it's
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: like my fishing trip, like my daughter's engaged.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Which is kind of.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Out of touchness.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's I feel like there's probably less careerism on
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Facebook definitely.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Well, no, you're not on there to get work.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: The only like unless you're trying to sell supplements or
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: like you're, yeah, whatever's filling your garage at the moment
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that MLM type sales. I didn't get back on. I
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: used my sister's account to get into the marketplace.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I was talking to somebody about Marketplace recently and why
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: it's like overtaking Craigslist and we couldn't come to any conclusion.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Is there I feel like I still will just go
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: to Craigslist.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Craigslist. I know I used to be really I used
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: to be on there.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: M h.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I haven't in a minute.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: It's still the same website used.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: To Miss Connections is gone though, so it's been gone
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: for like probably fifteen years.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: What a shame? Why did they get rin away?
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe not fifteen years, but a long time.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Do something dangerous happened?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: No, I'm sure, but I think it was just like
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: they're like, this is not a sex website, you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: or something. I'm sure it was that fascinating. I posted
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: a misconnection once. Who's an explosive story. I'm premiering it
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: on the podcast. I don't think I've ever talked about
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: this on air, and I was here the right to
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: repeat this on my podcast. I posted a misconnection. I
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: want to say. I mean, this is fifteen years ago
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: and I still.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Have that being balked from the website or deleted.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: And I was living in New York City at the time,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: and I used to constantly look at miss Connections. For
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: those of you who don't know, it was so sweet.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: It'd be like I was on the sixth train uptown
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: at nine point thirty. You were reading this book. We
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: were looking at each other. I would love to get
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: coffee whatever, really cute stuff. And I was in my
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: permit I was living alone at the time, and I
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: started to feel dizzy in a way that feared me.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: NIL one dial immediately now one and then I'm talking
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and they're like hi. I'm like, hi, I feel dizzy,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: and they're like, okay, you know, sit down, whatever is
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: there anyone around? No alone. Immediately as I'm talking to her,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I'm actually okay. I start to rese and by I go,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm okay. She goes, We've already dispatched
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: paramedics and I don't have to. And then the speed
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: at which I still understand how they get in. They
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: have like a universal key, Like how.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Do they get into the building.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. It felt like moments later I hear
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I opened my door. Up the stairwell comes three cakes
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: and I was like, and I go, sorry, sorry, I
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: think I'm actually okay. They come in and I was
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: just like, I mean, I feel weird, but you know
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: who doesn't, you know? We all feel weird, right, I start,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and they're like, so you keep saying you feel weird,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to take you in. I was like no, please, please, no,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I want to do the ambulance
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: right but seven hundred bucks whatever.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Of course it's very expensive.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: So I was like, no, please, just like I'm okay, really,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I'm okay. So they sit with me for a second.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I remember I had a stack of posters of like
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: postcards for my comedy show at the time. I go,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: you guys like comedy, come on down, you know so,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: And of course one of the paramedics was cute.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, and I'm sure there was.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: No connection, and then so they leave. I posted a
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: misconnection for the paramedic any response, of course not, I
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: don't think. I think the energy was in one direction.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: And then but you probably felt it because the paramedic
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: is supposed to care. Of course, they're supposed to give
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: this feeling of safety, and you're going to be okay, yeah,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: who can resist that?
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: And I'll never forget because I you know, felt woozy afterwards.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I remember I walked a few blocks to a restaurant,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: got a veggie burger, felt all better. I was hungry.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: You were your blood. That's why you were so cranky
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: with the paramedic.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Exactly, I'm onry.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: What what's a paramedics uniform? I'm trying to picture that.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: It's not like scrubs. Is it a jumpsuit?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Was it a fireman? Yeah, it's just like pants. I
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, maybe it's like a dark pant and a
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: T shirt. Right right, that's a good look for I
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: mean that's just a good street wear. Yeah, absolutely, Wow,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: and no response. I wonder where he is now? Is
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: an ambulance? Right? Seven hundred dollars? Is that what we think?
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It fluctuates with inflation. I think at
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the time the number seven hundred was burned to.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Me right on at least would you look into that
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: because I actually, I mean present day, how much is
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: that novelty? Seven hundred dollars? I mean unless to find
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: out seven hundred dollars, I could get the community to
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: reach out and like pitching for.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: Me to ride in an right now in New York City,
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: it's nine hundred.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Dollars one hundred. I mean, that's not that much inflation wise.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: That's estate that's been pretty steady. You know. You look
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: at a price of eggs, that's.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: So crazy, throwing carton of eggs and we're talking, Wow.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: That's wild. Yeah, I did you did you ever see
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: anything that felt like it might be a misconnection pointing
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: No, no, next question. I don't think so.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I feel like that. That's got to happen pretty often though.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: People are like, well, this could be me, and then
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: they're reaching out to the person.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: And bothering that it's not me. Yeah it wasn't you.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Have you ever been in an ambulance? No? No, no,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: I never question.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where's what?
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: My god? This is all?
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, does this take what?
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: That's what.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: That's what. That's what. That's what knocked on it, particleboard,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: that's what.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, then we're fine. We're absolutely fine. Are you superstitious
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: like that? Are you really?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I am?
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: That's the one thing I do.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I knock wood and spilled salt.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I'll go, I'll do that, you will. What are you
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: supposed to do that for?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Just like being cursed.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I guess somebody curses you when you throw.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, if you spill salt, then you have to throw
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: it over your left is either left or right shoulder?
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I do both because I never checked.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I didn't know this.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Ye.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Actually it's weird you bring it up because today a
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: little salt like I lost control of the shaker a
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: little bit. Someone on my hand I go, does that count?
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: And I just kind of yeah, wow, I don't know
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: that I've ever spilt salt. Salt is a thing you're like,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to constantly. Yes, the point of the entire
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: shaker interesting. Well, I'm not going to start now. I'll
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: just keep knocking on wood.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: And yeah, you're fine at this point.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Whatever. What else has been going on in your life?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I saw a ghost?
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: You saw a ghost kind of where?
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Well, here's what I'll tell you. I had a ghost.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I was staying in Bend, Oregon.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, spooky.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Apparently, but I was there for two nights. I had
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: a show and I went to this place. I was like,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not a ghost person.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not that people know what is until they've seen
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: and I'm very like.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see them. But I went in,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: went to this room. The point is fell asleep, mill
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: of the night, eyes open, like, oh no, I woke
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: myself up. Listen what I'm gonna try to say. It
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: was weird, creepy stuff. I'd never get nightmares, rolling nightmares,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: lights going on, really fucking weird stuff. And I was scared,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: like waking up, which is I travel alone constantly. I'm
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: not like afraid. In the night, I was awake, like
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: arms crossed, like like really freaking out mood rooms okay,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: next day scared, I'm sorry to say this word and
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the energy scared like I was like, I'm scared in
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: this room, like this is off. I'm gonna just cut
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: forward and say found out today found Google reviews people
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: saying this place is haunted.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: When you spoke to the hotel staff, did you say
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I think my room is haunted or did you just
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: say the So I was.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Too scared to say it there because I had another
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: night left right and I changed my flight to like
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: seven am. I wanted to get out of there. I
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: was like, I don't want to go the whole place.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is like a bad place. I
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: don't like the energy. Again, the hotel was well run.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Everyone was sweet, but so I eventually, then when I
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: got back, I called the hotel and I was like,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: this is really funny, but has anyone ever talked about
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: like being haunted? And the guy I spoke to was
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: like sweet, young guy. He's like, I've actually only been
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: here three months, so I was like, oh, But then
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: he talked to him and he goes, well, when I
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: got my first tour, they did tell me like, oh,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: this is an area of the hotel where people kind
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: of war report stuff. I was like, what so yeah,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: And then since then I've seen a Google review that
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: said do not stay here haunted. Okay, and then another
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: person who said my partner woke up in the middle
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: of the night screaming help and then walked to like
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: a window and was.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Like, is there any theory about where the like the
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: spirit came from, like a murdered woman or.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I of course did auditions. I saw a couple and
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to get into it here. It's something
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: that I'm working on privately. But I'm not a ghost person.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: And I said, don't I don't want to see you ooh,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: And I said that lag, I know I'm not open.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: See this is where I you and I differ. Yeah,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I would, I mean, I feel you want to. I
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: would be so thrilled. It would be some proof of
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: suf thing to me.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: It's just I don't know. I feel scared to see
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: the conjuring thoughts. Do I want to see the conjuring
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: post this?
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Because I have have you seen any of The Conjuring.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: How many other like five of them at least six
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: really Lily Taylor.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Patrick Wilson and Vera.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Oh she's very ghosts.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're very you know what I want to see,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: thank you.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I want to rewatch The Others starring Nicole Kidman.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I love The Others. That's one of the all time
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: ghosts movies. Yeah, it's like I don't really a horror movie. Yeah,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: in theater theaters in New York. I want to say
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: that was a big one where they you know, like
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: the ad campaign spoiled the whole thing. They were like
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: and the twist endings just like, just let me find
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: out that something turns.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Those were the olden days when trailers were four minutes
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: long and they just showed you the whole movie.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate it. No, I love the Others. I
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: love the Haunting of hill House or it's just the haunting.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Have you ever seen that? The night? I think it's
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: like a I think sixteen to three. It is terrifying.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: That's scary, It's genuine. Yeah, it's really just like scared me.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Of course, I think that probably stood in with ghost
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: stuff and I'm when a child actor is good in
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: a movie. I feel especially scared because I feel like
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: that's a you feel the vulnerability or something that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: They're too close to the spirit world already. Yes, the
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: child act already like of the another world, and they're
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: like child actors to me? Are they prove that reincarnation
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: is real? And like that's some like fifty five year
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: old actor who's now twelve, and it's like, here's my
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: big shot.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: That is the dancing of yeah, Shirley.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Temple like or just any of these kids, any of
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: these kids on and if you if you work in
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: sorry to say it, Hollywook, you know, every now and
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: then you see one of these kid actors. Yeah, oh
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: thanks man, Yeah, I'm good. It's like you aren't twelve,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: you're fifty two.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: When you feel the trained networking, like the parents like
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: hammering that into the kid, that's the world.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Jacqueline Novac, this is her idea, so I can't steal it,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: but she said children should not be allowed in movies.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Adults should play children.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: That's a great idea, and I've hurt somebody else that
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: I unfortunately can't credit them. They said, that's the one
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: use of AI that makes.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Sense, right, right, right, get the kids up.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: All children in movies should be AI.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Why not you're taking your kids to moviesit what strong?
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: It's so crazy.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: It's like we've just seen case after case after case.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: It's like you think you're gonna be one that your
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: child escapes. How horrible it is?
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Only I was Mary Kate Ashley Olson. They are, they
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: are the exception. But they went on, they went through it,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: and now they have the row and they've done an
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: incredible job. And they have and they've they snuck out
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: of the public eye. They have secret in private lives.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Everyone else dead or near death.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much hanging by a thread. It's such a
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: small pool where it's like, oh, now they're just an
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: adult and they can live there, and they have to.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: I feel like their child acting career really has to
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: fizzle out pretty quickly in order for them to be like, yeah,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: then they like end up in a real middle school
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: or what have you, rather than learning in some unit
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: on set.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: From hearing Kulkan another success story.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's a fantastic success story. It's really rare, and
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he went through it. Sure well. Actually he
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: kind of just had a lot of tasteful choices the entire.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Time well managed.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a family that knows they had a they
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: had another child that went through it.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: They probably said, let's strategize on this one.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's take our So instead he wins the race.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: He came out on top. He absolutely came out on top. Well,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I feel like there's something else we should talk about.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Let's see, it's something I don't want to talk about.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I was excited to have you here on.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: The podcast today, Kate, Yeah, until I.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Thought cable come by. We'll have an absolutely fantastic conversation.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Nothing will go wrong, Yeah, and then we'll move on
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: with our days. Yes, things are hard enough already. Yeah,
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: so you know the podcast is called I said no gifts,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: and so I was a little surprised when you kind
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: of forced your way in here holding what I assume
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: is I haven't seen you in a while. That's true.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: So I felt like it was only appropriate after so
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: much time.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Right, it's right, Okay, Well that's that's a nice way
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: of going this. Yeah, and it's not too big, and
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: it's in kind of a velvety looking bag. How can
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: I resist? Should I open it? Here? On the podcast?
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, why not, why not let me just a
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: little something, just a little something.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, this is a material that is hard for me.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what is cheap? It's a cheap material. It's poor
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: man's velvet. Yeah, it's a I would have an emergency.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: What do you is that velveteen?
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Is that it's below velveteen?
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Is velveteen? Cheaper velvet?
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I think it goes velvet velveteen? And then whatever that is?
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, well I'm going to open it here. Well that
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: sounds nice. Okay, we're pulling it. Oh my god, what
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I mean? I'm actually not entirely sure if this is
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: real fish or like a gag tin fish.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Another element of this which is kind of crazy. Doesn't
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: it look like one's missing? It hasn't been opened? Yeah,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: looks so no, no, no, here's what So I get this.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I go wait, and I said to my partner, I go,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: did you take a chocolate?
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: They go no?
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: And then I know it's completely sealed. It's never been opened.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: So this is just poorly or I think something happened.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: This is limited a ghostly removal of a sardine.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: I don't want to get off this topic too. I
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: want to come back to this, but this reminds me
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: of a time you were in Ireland in a hotel. I.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're right, yeah, I've had a couple encounters happened.

  Speaker 2: Rob Delaney retweeted me and I was at work and
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I was like, it was like it was all about Yeah,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I was like, here we go. I was in duble
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Lynn doing a comedy festival, okay, and oh my god,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: what was it? Okay? So it was that I left
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: my room to like go do something, and I came
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: back and there was a pair of red.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Underwear, oh men or women's underwear was.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Women's okay, either on the bed somewhere where I was like,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: what the fuck is like it was like I had
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: been there for and I remember it was a thing
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: because if I'm saying in a hotel for a few days,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I don't get like the room turned over. It's like
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: kind of rare that I will do that unless I'm
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: saying somewhere really high end and I want to, you know,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I have to give all the whole experience. But if
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: it's just kind of a hotel, I'm like, I don't
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: need my bed, she's changed your towels. I'm here for
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: two nights, three nights whatever. So I knew no one
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: had been in there, but there was this really ostentatious
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: pair of red underwear, maybe hanging on the back of
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: the door something where I was like, and it scared
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: me because I was like, someone was in here.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: It feels like such an invent.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I feel like there was another detail that I'm forgetting
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: because this was ten years ago. Everything I'm saying is
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: ten Sorry.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: To ask you to just recall this, but like, no,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: for whatever reason, a missing fish made me think of something,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: and I.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Called the front desk. I think, I I you know what,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I bet where this is saved somewhere. I believe I
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: was chronicling it on Instagram Stories when stories had just launched.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, and I mean speaking of people reigning
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: supreme your early days of Instagram Stories for unlike anything,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: they should have shut it down after that, you know.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: So I was like, I gotta get back to story.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I gotta go. I gotta start having fun with Instagram again,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: getting back into those stories. Wow.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm sorry to bring up the memory, but I yeah,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: that just there was this flash in my mind of
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: a haunted Irish hotel room.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: You know, I've had some strange things that happened.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: It's weird to walk into a whole hotel room and
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: something's changed like that you've already been in, because it
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: feels like, oh, I've almost walked into another dimension. This
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: is the same space, but just slightly altered. A real like, yeah,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: one of those picture things. Which thing is different?
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Do you think this is weird?
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Really quick?
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: At the recent haunting that I had the hotel, I
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: switched rooms right. I went into the second room and
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: it was in a different building, different part of the building.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I go, okay, I'm safe. This is different, same room,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: but like inverted, you know, like I was in there
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: and I had spent like hours resting. I'll call it
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: in bed and I leave, I come back. No one's
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: been in there. The digital clock next to the bed
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: was blinking three forty four. It was like ten o'clock
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: at night blinking three forty four am, blinking, blinking, And
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I go, I would have seen that if the clock
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: had been doing that, is that scary.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Power go out or something that is? That's just not
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: a thing that you know, after already having a haunting experience.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: At three am, that's when I woke up. It's like
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: a cartoon.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, if that's when you.
• 29:57

• 30:03
  Speaker 2: no no no, it was three am, just before three am.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: There's something you should get in touch with these other
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: people who feel like they've been haunted.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I actually went to the Google review today and
• 30:12

  Speaker 2: Probably thirty two dollars.
• 31:00

• 31:02
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. Okay, So this is a really cute item, right,

  Speaker 2: I got this in an artisanal gift shop. I want
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: to say the last Christmas?
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Okay?

  Speaker 2: I cracked eggs. Want any go best of? I go
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: best of your mother, bitch, I'm meeting you for another month.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Do you know how you can tell if an egg
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: is good? If it floats, put it in the water.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: If it floats, it's.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: If it floats, it's bad. If it stands up, it's
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: on the edge, And if it sinks completely it's good.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Also, I think with eggs, crack it open. If it
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: smells crazy, I don't use it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: That's really the ultimate test of anything. If it smells
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: like rotten garbage.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Don't put it in your mouth. Okay. So I'm gonna
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: take again thirty two dollars. Okay. So I got this
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: in an artisanal shop. Okay, I got two of them,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: and I go, you know what this is. I saw
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: this and I go, this is a perfect little come
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: over to someone's house for dinner the holidays.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: It's got those shiny red packagers.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: I just thought this was cute. I think, actually, you
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: know what I was gonna do, and this is really sad.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I was gonna send this to Amy Sidaris and I
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: never did this.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: It feels right of her aunt.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: So this is like an Amy Sidaris like. I was like,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna send this to Amy. It didn't happen, So sorry, Amy.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: And this is in line with a broader theme in
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: my life, which is gifts that I purchased to give
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: someone sure never give them. So right now, I want
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: to say, for maybe a year, if there's been a
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: little child size parasol propped up next to my front door,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I was going to give that to my friend's daughter
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: for her birthday. The birthday passed. Now the other birthday
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: just happened. I go, I'm finally going to give her
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: the parasol. Still have it. I bought baby, I bought
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: purchase baby clothes for babies. The baby's on five. I
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: can't no I got. It's a couple of things. I
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: need a full time assistance. I mean, how do how
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: are people.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Saying, I really I forget. Anything that's not like always
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: in my bag will be forgotten.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Anytime I go to the dentist, they say make sure
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: to bring your mouth guard. It's not coming with me.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: They're not cleaning that. So it's all up to me.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: So I understand this feeling of like because it's not
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: entirely essential. A friend asked me to buy them sunscreen
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: on vacation I was Japan. She's like an SPF, there's
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: really good. This was five six months ago.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I did the same thing Aqua.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's good SPF.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: See, I know my shit. I bought Bora Aqua for
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: a friend and never gave it to her. Wow, I
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: when to Japan, and as you do give her friends
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: give your friends, they're never getting them.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Because they're mostly in essential items.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: It's a sweet thing because you're like, oh, the key chain.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: I'll buy this from my friend. It's a sweet thing,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: but you got to go the extra home give it
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: to them. That's where I circuit complete, Like this was
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: so sweet, and I have this I have this dream
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: of myself. Dear Amy, Merry Christmas.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Love you now? Would you have had to taken it
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: with you to New York to give to her or
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: mail to her?
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I was going to mail it.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: See that's him. That's never happened. There's no chance that's
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: happening unless there's like some business agreement where they can
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: like write you a bad view. Yeah. Yeah, you're not
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: going to the post office to send those.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: I have a post office I love, and so I
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: have almost a superstitious attachment to them. Like that's where
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I go. Okay, I feel like any other male, I
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: can't do it right. And so I could have gone there,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: but I didn't.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: And so this ended up.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: In my home and I've been looking at it and
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: I went, okay, oh I can dinner party.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: No.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: No.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: And so I was looking at what to bring you today.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I wanted to bring you something, and I looked, you know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: there were some options. There was some skincare sure, and
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I thought, and I go, no, this and this is
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: the promise of a person that I I hope to be,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: and I think I could still become that person.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: This feels like a nice two dollars thirty two dollars my.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: God, price point, I mean, what is that?
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I call it fifty truly thirty two dollars?
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Round up, it's called it forty.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: It's already the price is already out of control.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: That not being nine dollars, what would you guess nine dollars?
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: I would have guessed this was fourteen, because you know
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: it's got the little it's true sweet, ha's sweet tech. Yeah,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: and who God knows what the quality of chocolate is,
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: but maybe a tie. It probably is decent.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Where's the chocolate from?
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Let's see here? This is truely space is.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: German?
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not seeing Let's see, oh, France. It's probably a.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Good cho chocolate. And the quality of the sardines is
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: all the details detail, it's gorgeous.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: I'll have to post some sort of picture of that.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: But this is like a real They're shiny, like a sargine.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: They're beautiful.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: You wonder where that I guess chocolate's shiny. So that works.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: And now I'm like, should we open these or should
• 35:56

• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Should we try one?

• 37:57

  Speaker 2: was like the whole fish and it's just a little
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: I'll do it.

  Speaker 2: chop them up, salad, herbs, capers, oh wow, red onion, shallots,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: and what is the you're not? It depends on if
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I'm in a cut.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: I uh, I love a tuna with just lemon or whatever.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: But the mayonnaise. I don't know that I've ever actually
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: even eaten that. I've been circling a tuna melt at
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: a restaurant. Which restaurant my favorite Clark Street diner. So good,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: it's good.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just know that it's good.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: I know the waiter that I I mean, we're there
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: so often. She's like, you have to try it, but
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: and we kind of came to an agreement where she's like,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: you can send something back if you don't like it,
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: and that kind of took some of the pressure.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: You can't this happens, is what they love to tell you.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: If you don't like it, it's a cocktail thing. Because
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: I'll have a cocktail at restaurant. I go, oh, is this?
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: They go, if you don't like it, send it back?
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I go, Now, I really can't because now you've gone
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: doors open. What could possibly be scary about that? So
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: now there's a real gun to my head.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: And so I can't have you ever sent anything back?
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Relish in it all the time, not all the time,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: and it's scary, and but it's one of the great accomplishments.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: That's I think of adulthood that if I look at
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: my life and I go, what's changed? I can send
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: something back now. And by the way, it's rare, and
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: it's an emergency. It's you have something has to be
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: really wrong. I'm not doing I don't like this, of
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: course not, but when it's an occasion, it has to
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: be egregious, like like I did not order this. That's
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: because I used to just even suck that down.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: But I got what I got. You know.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: It was like I was very yeah, I was very like,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: it won't be me. I won't rock the boat. But
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: now I'm trying to think of a good sendback. I
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: had there anything, Yeah, I want to send it back.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Actually I ordered a disgusting steak at a disgusting restaurant.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing. I went to a place where you
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: go for happy hour cocktails and like French fries mistake
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: and it was a huge thing. And I go, I'm
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: going to get the full at Mignon and it was
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: so everything else. It was like happy hour burger is
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: ten dollars, right, happy hour fries are five dollars. I go,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: I'll get the forty five dollars, fulllaming eye. I knew
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: it was a mistake, but I was hungry, and I
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: was like, I don't I just it came and I
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: said medium, because I go, I want to do a
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: medium right here. It arrived rare and it tasted like
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: dog meat. It tasted. I was like, this is a
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: frozen smart and final steak from three years ago. I mean,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is not good. And as a result,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: I barely touched it, but I sliced in I go
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: and so I said. I was like, and the guy
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: was so slammed. It's a happy hour joint. He's like, what,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: They're already like steak like it was crazy. And then
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: I went, sorry to do this, but it was just
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: so rare, right, and he looked at huh. I went
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: back to the thing comes back dog meat on the plate,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: and so I had to send that back and yeah,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: but that was the last time.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: So they brought it back another steak back to you,
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: the same steak, and you didn't eat it. You just said,
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: I took a by it.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: My friends had a couple of bites and we all
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: agreed that it was like.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: That's the big problem when you send something back and
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: they're like, well, we'll bring back the same thing, but
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: because there might be multiple elements you don't like about
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: it and the thing that you're sending it back for,
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: they'll bring it back and that's gone. But now you
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: still don't like that. Yeah, I just sent back a steak.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: I've never done that before, but I realized that within
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: the last two years or so. Like when I was
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: a waiter and people unless they were truly horrible and
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: we're sending everything back. It was like I didn't care.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing that I always I talk. I go,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: I'm being lovely, I'm being polite. I'm not going, what
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: the fuck is this? Like, I'm being I am so sorry,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: and it's not egregious. If I'm sending it back, I'm
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: sending right for a reason.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: You want to get the thing you pay for. That's
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: like I was. I had had maybe twenty percent of
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: the meal, and I was thinking, am I just going
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: to sit here for the rest of my meal and
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: not enjoy this? And then pay for it.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I can't do that anymore. It's not fair. We're too old.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if an ingredient is missing, I'll let them know.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: And if an ingredient's missing, what do you mean.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Well, okay, now it's gonna sound like I send everything back.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: But this is very I have to say, it's very rare.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Your head is just a tune them out. Now, I'm hungry.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: I want to tune them out. I was just looking
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: at all I see is a Clark Street.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: That company owes me some sort of compensation. You talk
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: about them all the time, although I found out recently
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: that their T shirt they sell is forty dollars, which
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: I wasn't planning on buying one in the first place.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: But that feels like a lot of five. Yes, but
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: people buy a T shirt. Everybody needs a little extra money.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, miss the ingredient.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: I ordered a club and it didn't come with bacon.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Well that's you know, that's a There are only a few.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: And they say they were lovely about us, We're so sorry.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Not only did they take it back, but they clearly
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: remade the this this to me, I was like, well,
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: you could just go back and just flop it up
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: and throw the whole plate had been redone.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I feel like Clerk Street, you're getting high quality sour dough.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: I want that cheddar on.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: There, fantastic delicious and their cob salad. I don't know
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: if you've ever had that which Clark Street, because there's two, right,
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: this is the one, the old Yeah, the old cafe
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: one on one.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Cafe one on one used to have ice to go
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: there in high school.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: It's been around for a long time.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not that old. H I used to go
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: there to go there. They had a waffle brownie Sunday,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: and this is something that I mourn. I mourn the
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: loss of this brownie batter and a waffle maker.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: That's a gene idea, especially for a diner waffle.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: I scream hot fudge me sixteen years old, high as
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: a kite there with my girlfriends being bad.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: That is such a good idea because then they don't
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: have to worry about the brownie getting to stale.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Crispy Edges waffle.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Clark Street reach out, I mean, can they get that
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: back on the middle a waffle maker there?
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: I have a Clerk Street announcement. I went there. I
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: have a dear friend. He would love his fabulous love you, Lauren.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: He goes there a lot. I went with him once,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: and he has his whole thing there. He has his women,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: he's got this relationship with the wait there she was
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: selling this oil that she made called abundance oil. Okay,
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: and it was like, you know, it's like we're this
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: and like abundance. I was going through a hard time.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: I got give me, I need a bigger bawl, you know.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: I bought it. Smell fabulous.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Oh this is great.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Little roller. I had in my purse for a couple
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: of days. I was wearing it. Something happened, not blaming
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: the bottle, but shattered in my purse. I went into
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: my person, got my keys pulled out. Bloody. That wasn't
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: that bad, but cut your handle. I was out of party, actually,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: and I was fishing around and I go, ah, blood,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: I had to ask a bartender for a band aid.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: That's a broken glass stuck in your hand.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: A week or so later, I meet my current part partner.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: We'll take that again. A week or so later, I
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: meet my current partner. Can you imagine it's actually a
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: week or so, But I just mean, is that the
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: abundance oil, and.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: I feel like the symbolism of it's rich, yeah something
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: blood and the passion. That's amazing. And was I assumed
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: there was no real connection there. It wasn't like they
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: were like, oh I noticed that scar on your hand.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah no no, But I just later I go, huh,
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: maybe the abundance oil. I got to get more.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: That's very like witches brew where you have to put
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: a drop of blood into the brew and it creates
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: whatever you need.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Wow, And I get some more oil.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure your purse smells wonderful now it did?
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: What purse was it at the time?
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: That's girls with our purses. The passes recommend they become
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: a certain air of your life. That's the air of
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: life of that purse. And then you move on in
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: that purse. You got to just get rid of it.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: That bag right there have been carrying around for I
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: think three years. It's a nightmare. And I can't commit
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: to a new bag.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: I know exactly what bag you're going to upgrade to.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: What.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: I have a couple of ideas for you.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: I need, I genuinely need to punt this as holes
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: in it.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, I know a bag. I don't why I'm keeping
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: a secret at Couslada. Sorry, but they are friends. But
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: they're fabulous.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: That's a good bag.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: They just new season. I just saw the show a
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: fashion week. They came out with a new They have
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: a new bag that is so fabulous. It's amazing. It's
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: not gonna be cheap, sweet, but it's gonna last you
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the next ten years.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: That's what I need, because I'm not someone who's like
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: a constant turnover.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: You need a fat you need a real bag.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: I just need a bag that's like, you know, I
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: can use and it's I have.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: One of their other ones. It's like my tour bag
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: fits a lot.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Do they have any inner pocket?
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: I need just for my ones.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: I think there's always my wall. Every a serious bag
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: is gonna have the obligatory inner zip.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: The rest of its keys, and then swamp right just
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: garbage they have to fish through.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: I think you should get that one in like navy
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: in a like an army green.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, this is good to know because I've been online
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: for at least six months.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: I wonder if you'll think it's like if it's like
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: a little too firm for you. But it's not it.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Who cares?
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: No, I know, I think they'll be into it.
• 47:20

• 47:55

• 51:04
  Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of stand strong, resilient. Okay, this
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: is how we by some of the episodes stick around.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: This is how we play Gift or a Curse. I'm
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: going to name three things. You'll tell me if they
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: are a gift or a curse and why, and I'll
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: tell if you're right or wrong, because there are correct answers.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: First up, this is from a listener named Emily. Gift
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: or a curse. A character quietly, yet dramatically takes a
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: pill to let the audience know they are troubled.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: It's a curse. Why I don't understand the question. Wait,
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: a person takes a pill.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: A character like in a TV or movement, takes a
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: pill to let the audience know they're troubled.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Oh I see, I see. No, it's a gift to
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: the audience to show them. It's it's character development. It's
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: a rich character development.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: I mean it's cheap writing. But yeah, I think absolutely
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: still actually used to do that tiktoks when I was
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: a little kid.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: For years, your little pills. Yeah, yeah, when you're bored,
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: you get to it's like there are a few things
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: that kind of were drug coded as children, like.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Tiktoks were huge. And then I loved a First Wives
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Club when I was younger and stuck her channing in
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: the beginning, she has she's about to kill herself or
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: spoiler happened to the first scene. So it's fine. But
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: she jumps off the balcony of her apartment building and
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: she has vodka and a little thing and she's like
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: drinking the vodka with like the glass hitting and I
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: remember doing that, like loving like the woman on h Yeah.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: She poured herself the glass of vodka before she.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Drinks like one last drink and then she puts on
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: what it's nice. She's fabulous. It's a great scene. It's
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: a great movie. We won't make them like that anymore.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: We get to see the actor. You know. Everyone's take
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: on the pills swallow. Yeah, sometimes you just need it
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: spelled out for you. That's something's wrong.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Actually I sometimes am rosing about myself because I
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: have pills. I don't like like I take it time.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: I'm actually a little scared of pills. But I've been
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: known to have an emergency colnup in here and there.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: But I have a little pillcase and I am on
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: a plane. I had a tummy ache the other day
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: and I took something for my tummy, and I felt
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: very aware of like opening the pillcase in public and
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: being like like, right now, not me, but yeah, it's
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: like what are they thinking?
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: And I wanted to be like, yeah, but everyone gets
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: to guess what's wrong with you? Yeah, exactly, and no
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: one at that point they're gonna be tiptoeing around you
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: for the rest of the flight.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I was overthinking because I'm actually I'm taking this
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: at the end of the flight. That would be weird
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: to take take a sleep medication at the end of the.
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: That's a great idea. I'm gonna drive myself home.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: So I thought, anyone observing me right now I might go,
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: what was she taken? But I probably don't care. But
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: of course, and so I thought, well that I'm throwing
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: them off this.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: What do you take for a stomach?
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: You know you're up there.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: I'm never prepared. I don't have any pills.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: I have pills at all times.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: I should, you know, I have a whole bag of
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: garbage always what are you doing well?
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Because I get migraines chronically, so always have migraine medication
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: on me. I always have something for the stomach. God forbid,
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: and I feel God forbid.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: Migraine is that prescription medication I need that.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: I literally give myself an injection once a month in
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: my five I have them at a.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Really bad frequently.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: And I'm in a whole battle with my insurance company
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: right now because I'll just say quickly, I've been taking
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: it for years. Change my life. This medication, life saving
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: medication really when you think about it, and five dollars
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: guess how much of costs now?
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, I can't imagine.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: Hundred unbelievable, untenable. So I've been literally begging for free
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: samples all over town. I had to pay for it
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: once out of pocket. But who can do that? I
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: mean it's just insane.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean we all know how awful
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: it is, absolutely horrible, And like you think about somebody
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: that has the rug pulled out from underneath them and
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: they don't have that.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: With the coupons and everything, I got it down that
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: one time to seven hundred.
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: Seven hundred dollars the price of an ambulance ride in
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: twenty twelve.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: So I mean the chaos continues.
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's horrible. And you haven't gotten the approval yet.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, I've been denied. I'm in like my fourth appeal.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: They pulled that on me with some medication monsters. Yeah,
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: and there was just there's nothing you can do.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: Anyway, we gotta reach out. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so you
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: got one right, so far, so good for you. I'm second.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: This is from an unknown listener, so they must have
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: posted it on some sort of thing we were doing.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: God bless you, gift her a curse. Tongue scrapers.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I have a lot to say about this
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: because tongue scraper ostensibly you go, well, that's great, fresher
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: breath whatever. Jury's out. Because listen to me, there's there's
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: two schools of thought, and I have to go deeper
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: into this. Some people think that when you wake up
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: in the morning, you should immediately tongue scrape brush your teeth,
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: get all that out right before breakfast. Oh yeah, for coffee,
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: for everything, because they think, oh, well, in the night,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: all your shit is caked in there, and then you're
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: eating it, you're digesting it. It's going back in, oh,
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: causing heart problems. Plaque, the whole thing, right, there's another
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: school of thought. Andrew Huberman taught me this. Yes, I
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: dip in Huberman. He teaches at Berkeley. There's some scary
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: stuff going on there, but there's usually somebody who fixed.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: I like science, he said, because I listened to one
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: of his episodes about like immunity, because I'm obsessed with immunity,
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: you know, doing what I we all, you know, we
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: all should be but touring and whatnot. And he one
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: of his little tips. He goes something that I do
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: for immune for immune support every day, and you wake
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: up bedside water.
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: Swallow oh, which is the absolute opposite.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: So I so I have an announcement. I've been doing
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: that for about six months. I haven't gotten.
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: Shiok oh, my god in six months.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: And I've been traveling. I mean I've been traveling.
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: That's a long stretch. I get sick probably once a
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: quarter something. M h wow. And that's so. I mean,
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: there's something about that that the logic doesn't add up.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: So maybe that's why it works, because I feel like
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: there's nothing worse than a glass of water that you
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: wake up to.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know what. I don't know what The science
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: is there. But he goes, he goes. You know, this
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: is kind of a I don't know what he said
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: about it, but he goes, he goes. People think it's
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: a little gross. He said, It's not like you're you
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: literally do.
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: It's not like you're like just what's inside your mouth,
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: just like a But I started.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: Doing that as a habit just kind of and I
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: kind of I'm kind of going, someone's here, well, maybe
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: I'll give it an But then I read a horror
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: story yesterday. My friend's friend's friend suddenly ill, plagued with sickness.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Feels crazy, going to the hospital. I've never felt worse.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: Help help something. They can't figure it out. They're testing them,
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: they're doing all this stuff. Eventually doctor comes in and goes,
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: tell me about your oral hygiene. It's okay, well I'm
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: pretty on top of it. I floss, I brush, blah blah.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: When do you floss? When do you brush? They get
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: down to the order. Turns out they think this person
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: has been ingesting plaque and it's doing made something go haywire.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: Sounds crazy. How is that? I go, well, then is
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: that what I'm doing?
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: I'm right, I'm adjusting.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: All of it, and I'm flossing before bed and then I.
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: Go to sleep, right, So it's all just kind of
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: floating around.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: You want to floss spit when you're at night. Well,
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: by the way, who's flossing yum yum yum and eating?
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're like spinning it out. But I have
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: another announcement. I'm saving lives alcohol free mouthwash. Do not
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: use mouthwash with alcohol.
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've switched over making sure. But I just
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: kind of thought, well, why do I need alcohol in
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: my mouth washed?
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: But a lot of people think, well, that's what's cleaning you. No,
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: it's the opposite. You're getting rid of these essential something.
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's killing off a bacteria. They don't want to
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: kill it. That'd heart. I love when I do something
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: by accident.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: Wow, And I just learned you're not. Just as of today,
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: I've learned you're not supposed to rinse after brushing your teeth. Huh.
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: You're supposed to see.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: The floride is supposed to spit.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: Which I tried this morning. It was not didn't feel
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: natural in any way. I don't like that I've been,
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: you know, washing out my entire life. You too, have
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: been washing it out and the water feels so good.
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: But apparently that's what you're supposed to do. Right now,
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: I'm using a Colgate with kind of a science. I
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: think I bought this in a four pack at Costco,
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: kind of a medical looking tube. It's not their traditional
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: you know, it's like almost a doctor's certified.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, I've I'm really into arm and Hammer Now I'm
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: just never go.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: Back baking soda.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why the clean that? Now? When I do Colgate
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: or Cress, I'm like, what is this a trip to
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: the fair? The County Fair tastes like sugar. It's like
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: it's like it's like tastes.
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: Like mint, like crazy, and it's so smooth.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: Doesn't get it clean to me? I need the arm
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: and Hammer.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 6: I need the microscoppers, right, I like that bit of grit, Yeah,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 6: that little making so yeah, my I do think we
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 6: should just narrow it down to like, why does Colgate
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 6: have fifty varieties as a company?
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: Just settle on one choice.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: They think that's what you want to want to go
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: in there and see a wall of options, But.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: For me, it's just which one is on sale, So
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: they're not going to get made. Yeah, tongue scrapers. You're saying,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: I own one.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I'll use it, but I need to get more research. Gift,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: I shall say it's a gift curse.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: Look at all the efforts you've brought up, not big.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: Effect and even yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: I think it's not only we don't know the science
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: is out. It seems dangerous. I feel like you could
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: go too far with it. Well, yeah, the horror element
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: of it, the final designation of accident, pulling your tongue
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: off or totally scraping the you know, the surface.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: Off, threading your tongue through the whole. Oh, it's kind
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: of amazing. You don't see that more people threading it through.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: And then no, I feel like just brushing your tongue
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: with your toothbrush is enough. Totally waste of money. That's another,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: you know, scam, that's just kind of being imposed on us. Whatever,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: you got one wrong, and that's fine.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: This final one is from one of our Patreon listeners,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: Arista Arista A R I S T A. Thank you.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I don't know how to pronounce your name.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: Gift to a curse. Cute c fake movie trailers with
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: celebrities that remind you not to talk or text during
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: the movie.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: Well, very rarely are they with celebrities, So I'm a
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: little confused by the question.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: Apparently they exist.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, So there's a classic one that I'm sure people
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: have seen that I remember seeing in theaters in like
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: high school, my early years. That's Fabulous, which is like
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: a opera. It's like there's like an opera performance and
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: you think you're in about this, and then this one
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: opens your mouth to sing and I phone rings and
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: someone's like, oh no, that's fabulous, adorable, love it. No
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: movie stars in that.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: Those are so characters in great costumes.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: I would actually go as far as to argue, I've
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: never seen a celebrity and I please don't talk during
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: the movie, So I'm gonna have to see that. You
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: might maybe this person's talking, of course the viral Nicole
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: Kidman and c.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: But she's not asking anyone to do that.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: It's not about that, but it's about the power of storytelling, right,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: And so I've never seen a celebrity in one of those.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: So I refeat the question. It's a gift though, because
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: I like that one media.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: Wrong. I've never seen one with a celebrity either. So
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: I'm a little baffled and I'm disoriented. But to me,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think we need any of these things because
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: the people who are going to do these things are
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: going to do them no matter what.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: So I'm just sitting there being reminded that someone in
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: the theater will be doing that ignoring what they've been told.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been with someone where there I went
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: some movie recently with some friends. One of the friends
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: was talking a little bag.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, a friend of a friend.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: No, no, my friend who I guess I haven't seen
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: a movie with a long time, just a little bit.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: But I was like, oh, because I'm I'm of course,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: that's what you do. The most I could ever do
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: a movie looking for like the most quite thing I
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: had to be said. It would be sub perceptual.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: And it puts you in a weird position because you're like, well,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be rude to and.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: Go stop talking and making me uncomfortable. You can't sit
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: to a friend, then you're a cop or.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: I'll just be icy to them. And then I'm like,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: now do they think I'm not fun to be around?
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: I'm can't talk in the movie.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: You can talk through the trailers. I don't care anymore.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: The trailers are communal.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, when you make friends, what do we think of this?
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: No, that's fun. I had a lot of fun. Actually
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: had a really fun time going to see weapons. And
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: I was I was in a really good mood, and
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: I was doing major entertainment for the whole theater. I
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: was doing major talking. I was talking about I'm scared,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: I'm scared. I was doing the whole thing is I
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: really was scared and talking it all up, and a
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: bond of was and people like you want to switch
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: some too close someth I gets good. I was doing
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: incredible community work. But then once the trailer's pay and
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: re in the movie, bitter silence.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: Of course that's what everyone's there for. And the trailers
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: were there for a half an hour, were trapped.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: What was I watching a movie I didn't like? Oh, Wicked,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: but there was somebody on their phone.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: Oh just during the movie. Happens all the time.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: And then I see it again, I go, sorry, but
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: I loved Wicked. But the point is, please cast me
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: in anything. But the point is, it's just it's not
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: your cup of tea. It's too strong to say I
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: didn't like it. It's not it's just that it's not
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: for me. Yeah, that's and that's fine. By the way,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: so cried it's not for me when she's falling through
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: when she sees he chocolateself.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: Not I didn't know what it was about.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: Told me what it was about. On the way to
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: the theater.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: I hadn't seen the plot. And I'm happy for everyone
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: doing everything, happy for every everyone, except for this person
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: texting during it. That's half the reason I'll go to
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: a movie is because I know I won't be able
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: to text.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: That's the joy of it.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: Because at home I will be on my phone. It's
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: impossible to resist looking at my phone while watching. I
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: need to be trapped in a movie.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: Theater, I know. So when someone's guess what I just
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: set up before coming to see you today? The light phone?
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: What's that?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Here's another ad the light phone, because I because I
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: have to move away from technology and joining my life.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: I've donated my brain to science and not for my
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: own gain. It's horrible, it's over. I used to be smart.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: I'm dumb now. It's actually completely The light phone is
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: a phone that only has texts maps camera, you can
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: put music on there. The point is it's not connected
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: to the internet.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: Right, Oh, so it's almost like you put MP three's
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: on you.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: You can't exactly, it's like an iPod. You can't. You

• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: How much does a light phone cost?
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: It's not cheap. They have different models. I think this
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: new one's going to run you like six hundred's for
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: a new life.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: That's half the cost of an iPhone certainly.
• 1:06:35

• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: physically light, it's like a square. It's I'm really excited.

  Speaker 3: I want to try one of these, and so I'll
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: report back.
• 1:06:48

• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: Because I have you know, like, do not disturb on
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: at all times?
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: Do anything?
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: Well? It does for me. It makes everyone mad at me,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: even my doctors.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: Be At this point, I was texting with my doctor
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: this morning. You text with your doctor.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: No, that's too close of her.
• 1:07:05

• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: this rash? It hurts when I touch this. Help?
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: Did you know them prior to the doctor relationship?
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: We actually have an amazing relationship. And I'm a powerful manifestor.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: And I had done an interview and I guess it
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: was variety and they were like, what's your goal for
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: the year or what's something you want for the year?
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: And I said, and I meant, meant from the soul.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: It was authentic. I want a primary care doctor in
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: my network who I like. I met this doctor at
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: a Emmy event.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, she's.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: High up there. I go, this is great. I need
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: a doctor. We start talking. She's she's fabulous, She's like,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: what are you looking for we talk. She goes, I
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: have some people I can connect you with, and then
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: she goes, you know what, I'll be your doctor. Oh
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: my god, she is beyond.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: And that's I mean, that's unbelievable.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: And then she by the way, she texted me today
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: apparently she's a podcast. I'm gonna go on it.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: But I lost my last doctor to a podcast. Really,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: the last thing I heard he said he was starting,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, He's like, well, what has my treatment? Ben?
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: I love her and it's really, I mean, it's one
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: of the greatest blessings of my life.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: Wow. I want to manifest something like that. Something I'm
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: dreaming about constantly is a someone who cuts hair that
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: has ideas.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: About, oh, what to do with your hair? Yes, well
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: that's what you need.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: I love my current barber, but he doesn't, you know,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: he doesn't bring thee. I would love for someone to
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: confidently say this is what you should do.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, I have I have some names for you.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's really because it's hard and it's hard to
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: get any sort of recommendation. Okay, see, there we go.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: I think I might be texting with one of.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: These guys for you.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have to ask for what we want.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and sometimes beautiful thing about I'm in your hands,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: But what do you think right?
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, to get another person who the stakes are not
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: as high for them relationship wise, and they can say something.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: They can look at you and say this is what
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: needs to happen. Yeah, the best feeling in the world.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: Deliberating because no one else is going to give you
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: the truth and they don't really see you. If someone
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: if someone's been in your life a really long time,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: it's hard for them to separate.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: You have to go to children at that point go
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: am I ugly like, Yeah, you don't have to ask,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: and you know, it's.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: Nothing worse when a child starts crying before you've done anything.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: Just seeing you.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well you got two out of no, one out
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: of three, five of it. That's totally fine. You were
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: honest with yourself and what are you gonna do? Yeah,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: let's see. Okay, Now analys has their own gift or
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: a curse that they're going to present we you have
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: to speak to it. At least, what is it?
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 5: Gift? A curse? Watching a scary movie alone?
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: We were just talking about scary movies, really good one.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I have a complicated relationship to scary movies.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: I think I like them, but I'm very poorous and
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: I'm open and they scare me. Sure, so I have
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: to time of day how going into theaters. Like, for example,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: my friend who loves scary movies is like, let's go
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: see The Conjuring, and I go, that might be too
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: scary for me. I don't know so, but I'm open
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: to it watching them alone. My partner is tragically really
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: afraid of scary movies. They're like, no, I've been bigging
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: to watch Zodiac, one of my favorite movies.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, maybe my favorite movie. It's one of
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: the best, one of the most rewatchable movies.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: I agree completely, and they're like no, And I'm like, re'spect.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: They're like, I won't do murder, I won't do sexual violence.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: I won't do uh like possession demons that scares them.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: I go, yeah, there's nothing they can do zombies for
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: some reason, zombies don't scare them.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: Well, zombies are boring.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: But watching a scary movie alone, I'm gonna go with Curse.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: I think I think it's not. But I'm on the
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: fence here because I was thinking about actually watching the
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: conjuring solo an old version to gear up for the
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: new one before I go to the grove and shell out.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: Right, this is going to distract, But I just had
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: this vision of you alone and not watching This isn't
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: a scary movie, but the idea of you sitting and
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: watching Pirates at the Caribbean, I've never seen it.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: It could happen.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: It seems like a very funny thing on my couch,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: just like seeking it out and I'm watching it and
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: just like wow.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, be like, well, technology has advance and it doesn't
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: look that good.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: So you're saying, Okay, I'm actually.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: Gonna go with I'm gonna go with Gift, even though
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: my instinct is cursed, and we'll see if that pays off.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: I also am going to say Gift and I it's
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: an extreme I've done it before, and I'll say it's
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: a very hard thing to do because it's the fear
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: factor is through the roof when you're alone. But I
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: think that's a that's how you maximize what the movie is.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: And it could be fun. Like I'm actually picturing myself
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: on my couch with a blanket, like.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's fantastic. I tried watching I've had several failures
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: where I tried watching The Strangers alone. Once I put
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: it in in a twelve forty five am oh home
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: invasion movie.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: A few years ago.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: Oh eight, maybe at this point, Okay, you should see
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: this movie. It's one of the most terrible invasion for me.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: That movie I watched, you know, I knew what it was,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: and I watched up until the point when there was
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: a knock at the door in the movie and I said, oh, okay,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not watching this anymore.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: That's azing. That scared you that much. I saw like
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: a fake clickbait thing that was like seven or seven
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: out of nine people couldn't wouldn't be seven out and
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: I was probably say out of ten, but it was
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: like people couldn't finish this movie on Netflix was like
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: Netflix officially says.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: That marketing tactics, it was obs scare a meter. What
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: movie was it?
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Don't no something I had never heard of a clue
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: they were trying to I couldn't it because it was
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: so terrible exactly exactly.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: I hate this one. Yeah, yeah, no, I think it's
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: a gift. I love watching scary movies with people, but
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: I if I really want to be terrified. I have
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: to do it alone.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: What do you see weapons?
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: Oh? I loved Weapons. Was in the theater, so it
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: wasn't sccary. Oh okay, I had some scary moments.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: Did you scream?
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: No? I didn't scream. I rarely scream. I screamed in Jaws.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: Recently actually went saw Jaws. Have you ever seen Jaws? Yes,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: there's one scary moment with a dead body underwater. It's
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: kind of a jump scare with a man's face.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, scared.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's terrifying. But the thing I love
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: about Weapons is I love a horror movie where there's
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: an actual evil, Like there's an evil witch. You know,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: it's not like psychological or anything. It's just like, oh no,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: there's an actual demon that the town has to deal with.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: She rocks.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: She's so good.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: Finally someone wasn't scared to go.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: There's good for her, so good on a least. What
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: is the answer.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: It's a gift.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 5: It's a gift we all win. I mean, yeah, to me,
• 1:13:26

• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: by myself and get through it, I'm good. Like, I've
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: never felt stronger than watching And I know this may
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: seem silly because it's not very scary for a lot
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: of people, but watching the Blair Witch Project by myself, oh,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: I felt invincible.

• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: movie really got me.
• 1:13:48

  Speaker 3: Here we go. But I have to say like a
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: nask and my stickers.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: This might sound obvious, but gold belly and a pinch.
• 1:15:34

• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: food item. Like you're saying he's a pizza head. Loves
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: knowing them pizza. I've never heard of that culture, but
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: why not send a fun other kind of pizza sampler.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: Here's what you do. Like my friend had a baby,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: I send her post posts post.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: Part post when you say that with that depression, but
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: it's not and it's a weird.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it seems a little are you. Yeah, I
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: don't know, but I sent the pizza because they do
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: you know Top Chef Chris Bianca.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, Chris Bianca.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: It's a fun episode. You can get his pizzas sense, right,
• 1:16:14

  Speaker 3: So I think.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: Sometimes a fun gold belly item.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: Multimedia like can be.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: That was my own little spin. But I think that's
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: a great gold belly because I've been sent a couple
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: of gold bellies. I go, let's hit the spot.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: Because I am never like, oh I'll get gold belly
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: for myself. I'll never order something from across the country.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: It's wet, but it's such a novelty. It's an extreme
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: not and there are different price points, so if you
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: want it into the fortieth you want to get up there.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: I think you can get things as low as maybe
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: you know, there's seventy dollars range, but they're going up,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: up up.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: I wonder what the most expensive thing you can get
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: on there, and it's probably some sort.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: Of meat, right, I think you can go pretty high.

  Speaker 3: Belly to Florida. Yeah, there is good Cuban food there.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: We go.

  Speaker 2: You have never been to Florida, so I've never been
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: to Florida. I've never set foot in the state.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: Well, and I can actually cannot really speak to the
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: Cuban food because my experience in Miami was very singular
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: and I was not really allowed to go into the city.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: But I really, really okay, I really wanted a Cuban
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: sandwich and ended up so desperate to have when I
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: had one in the airport. So it wasn't really the
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: experience I.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: Was looking sometimes airport food. I had one of the
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: best things I had in Italy at the train station.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: Well but Italy, Yeah, what did you have this fucking
• 1:17:52

• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: just like baseline, everything's good. Yeah, it's like you don't
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: have to worry about even a train station having bad
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah it was.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: I was blown away.
• 1:18:04

  Speaker 2: A solo like a one seater?

  Speaker 3: No, I feel like it's usually uh like a swamp person.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: That's like a swamp tour.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: Swamp tour. Have you been on a swamp tour?

  Speaker 3: If you already took him on a swamp to he's
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: probably hooked.

  Speaker 2: He probably wants to go on another.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: We answered the question perfectly.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: I'm scared of a swamp tour. Alligators.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: No, alligators are very top of my list of terrify.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: I was like about alligators in therapy yesterday.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: Have you ever seen one in person? No?
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: But I had a dream? Oh, I mean young and analysis.

  Speaker 2: We'll talk about dreams a lot.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: What happened to the within the dream today?
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Sometimes alligators appear for me and the primordial mother m
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: the alligator. You know what's lurking underneath the service that
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: can suddenly explode and.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: Can follow and thrash, and they scare me. Yeah, of
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 3: course I.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: Am not unique in that they're scary, But something about like,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: sometimes I watch videos of them. I kind of like
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: want to feel the fear. There should be an alligator
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: horror movie.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think anybody is really a lake plasid.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: I think that about a giant alligator. It's a great
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: alligator versus crocodile. What's the difference. Is it a gender thing?
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: I feel like a crocodile has a rounder snout while
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 3: the alligator has a more harper points smaller Yeah, can
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: kind of snatch you, while the crocodile is more like
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: chomps you. It's a science. Yeah, they're terrifying to me.
