Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
David Billow.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
David Billow, my dad, Oh.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
That's your dad. I see. I know better than to
say the name your dad. You listen, your dad's paying
your phone bills. You got a great life. Are you
running a marathon right now?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Breathing out loud, I'm just walking fast?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Well, where the hell are you headed? Honey?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Home?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Work the graveyard, shift till five point thirty?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Where are you?

Speaker 3 (00:33):
DC?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Nice?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Did you see the guy I posted? He's just like
you just gotta sprint, and then he's sprinting and then
he's talking. He's like sprinting, but he's like almost cutting
himself off while sprinting. It's like there's so many like
weird lunatics that like people are revering their word and.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
With that, you guys that we're talking about people at
post workout videos.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
But honestly, I was working I know, I was working
out the other day with my trainer, and I was thinking,
maybe I'll post a video of this. I thought it
would be funny, like will that lady follow me back
if I do it? That lady who was so upset?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Exactly, That's what that's what it's all for.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Could you imagine being so upset that someone doesn't like
watching workout videos of their friends. So weird, as much
time on your hands, it's weird how everyone just gets
I mean, I guess there's definitely times where like I've
seen one hot take too many from someone and I
just mute them. I've muted so many people that I
follow so many, and.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Sometimes I was we were just looking at my covergers
and I who we've all blocked on our phone and
some people have so many people block.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Blocking is a whole nother level though, because then they.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Know, right, I mean, I guess if they try to
reach out.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well, also because you don't follow.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Them if you talk to many people.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, but I've muted so many people, and I have
a feeling a lot of my comedy peers have muted
me because there's people who used to like all the
stuff I posted all the time who never do anymore,
and I think they mute.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
So when you're verified and you have a lot of followers,
do you look at your story viewers or no?

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I feel like they've changed the order of the algorithm recently.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
They change everything. I hate it all, but yeah, I
do feel like there's a number of people that I
thought were my friends that I used to engage with
and interact with online who never do anymore with me,
And I'm like, they must kind of hate me for something.
And but and then if I try to feel around
and like we should get lunch or it's like there's

(02:47):
no there's no clarity, like they're not like I actually
hate you now. But I do know feel like there
is definitely some people where I'm like, something's up, something's up.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
That's a good theory.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, But you know, I'm prone to a mantra, an
internal mantra that everyone hates me. And this is why
I need to like seek constant spiritual guidance and like
literally make gratitude lists and things, or I just can
absolutely implode in a pile of self hate and self doubt.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
So what's on your list?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
My gratitude list? Yeah, someone once told me to do
like concentric circles, where you just start with where you
physically are, So, oh, I'm grateful for this podcast studio,
and then you go out from there. I'm grateful for
a sunny day, and you go from there. I'm grateful
for this neighborhood that I live in. I'm grateful for

(03:43):
my coffee that I love. I'm grateful for my family,
my family through the tenth on the list. But anyway,
it's like, you know, if you're laying in bed at night,
you could literally just start with where you are and
then just go outward.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Have you done the like military? They say it'll put
you to sleep in like five minutes if you think of,
like while you're breathing the five things around you.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Military of like your senses.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
They have like a formula where like you breathe. I
don't know, I was trying to do it the other right.
The military does U It's like you do box bleeding,
but you also think of the like five things.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Can you back up to the military aspect?

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Now? The military does it because they need to fall
asleep in stressful situations.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
They have fucking PTSD from killing a bunch of people.
I'm now supposed to try to use their system.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I tell you fair enough.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, I mean, I guess it would be uh a
good system. I hate these ear pods. Does anyone have
like a recommendation for like good ear pods or headphones
because these are so whack. I just don't like having
things in my ears. I keep feeling there should be
innovation in the world of sound, you know, like actors
getting wired to act and stuff. There's got to be

(05:01):
I mean, the problem is that wireless things just don't
work that well. But these things are huge and they
feel like they're falling out of my ear anyway, How
dare you you, bully? I can barely hear you. I

(05:21):
have to I'm going to a party tonight.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Oh are you looking forward to it?

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Or no?

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I am? You know, but it's always like a mixture
of dread and excitement for pretty much anything, you know. Yeah,
it must be so amazing to not be wired in
that way.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, I mean, I guess there are people that aren't.
I don't know them.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
What do you think is the best apology? Like, if
if someone did something inconsiderate to you, what would be
an apology that would make you feel better?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
That's a good question. I think the best apology is
an unprovoked apology.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Maybe mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
If someone that came up would realized they need to
apologize on their own.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, that is cool.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Like I be willing to accept any apology like that, probably.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, Like it's not it says fun when you're like
I feel like you owe me an apology.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, why did this come up before?

Speaker 4 (06:34):
No?

Speaker 1 (06:36):
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Do you want me to apologize to you?

Speaker 5 (06:38):
No?

Speaker 1 (06:39):
I mean I guess so if you want to bari,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh I actually had a food test for you.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Okay, great, let's do that ground beef. Do you know
that when my mom was pregnant with me, she craved
raw ground beef on English muffins?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Did she eat it?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah? It was a different.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
Time worked out?

Speaker 1 (06:59):
I guess yeah, I guess. Hard to say if this
podcast is a testament to it.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
Working out or not working out?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Oh, but yes, ground beef. Sure, yeah, it's good. There's
it's very vague because how is it prepared? What is
it in? Right?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Because burger I want to say yes, but ground beef
I immediately say no.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Well I'm gonna say yes because I like tacos, I
like burgers.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Valid?

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Is that? It so funny? That's like a murderer's food test.
You're just the only thing is ground beef? No preps.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
I have another one for you.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Oh yeah, what is it? Radishes?

Speaker 1 (07:50):
I like radishes?

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Great, thank you so much. Pleasure doing business worlds, pleasure
doing business own the United Kingdom. Hello, Hello, Hello, how all?

that I as an English accent because I'm actually Scottish.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Oh that's funny. So we're both being posers.

Speaker 8 (08:23):
And I've got two growling doggies right here, so hopefully
they won't interrupt. All right, Well, how are you doing?

Speaker 4 (08:31):

You know, we're we're enlightened here.

Speaker 1 (08:59):

Speaker 8 (09:02):
Oh? That's Ireland? Ireland? Come on?

Speaker 1 (09:06):
What is the difference.

Speaker 8 (09:09):
There's not much difference. Really, we're all quite pale and
you know, anemic, but just the accident is slightly different.
It's good Sam and the hang ups, you know.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Okay, wait, so wait you're calling from where again?

Speaker 8 (09:25):
Hey? Glasgow?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Glasgow Okay, I'm taking note. And so you're in Glasgow.
You're not known for wit?

Speaker 8 (09:36):
Oh oh you think we are? We have we have,
we have to otherwise we would just I don't know,
we're just crumble.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Okay, So then what do you call it?

Speaker 8 (09:48):
Crack? What do be called crack here? I don't know.
It's let's just call it crack.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
No, Well, I don't want to force you into culturally
inappropriate slang.

Speaker 8 (10:05):
I love that you've got me there.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
What do you do for a living?

Speaker 8 (10:13):
What do I do? I work for local authority, a
local local government office, a town planning office. It's very
it's very boring. So that's not really an avenue of conversation,
I'm afraid. But I'm also a musician.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Oh that's also not an avenue of conversation.

Speaker 8 (10:33):
No, no, no, no, a.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Musician, everyone's everyone's eyes light up. A musician? Do tell? Actually?

Speaker 8 (10:43):
I think more, get your guitar, play.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Us a tune musician. The streets of l A are
paved with aspiring musicians. Yes, what's what's Glasgow like?

Speaker 8 (10:59):
Glasgow?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Of course?

Speaker 8 (11:00):
I mean it's got a reputation of being a bit
of a grim place, a dangerous place to be. So
my dogs are now fighting in front.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Of the here they're la.

Speaker 8 (11:09):
They're they're fighting, dogs are fighting. Just just just to
illustrate the reputation of Glasgow, but it's actually a very
cultural place and it's got it's just got the reputation
of being the most vegan friendly city in Britain.

Speaker 10 (11:25):
Really, so so what is that reputation?

Speaker 1 (11:28):
What are you? What are you eating as a vegan
in Glasgow?

Speaker 8 (11:32):
Well, I'm not I'm not subscribing to that, to be honest.
I'm I'm too gen x to go down that root
of afraid. But I.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Is gen X in the nineties, you were, Now, I grew.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
Up in the grew up in the nineties basically, you know,
So I'm just in all of you know, the the
fabulously woke and enlightened the young people of today. And
that sounded sarcastic, but it really wasn't. I Actually I
feel like I really these days.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
I know. The funny thing is like I didn't. It's
like I was trying to figure out about when gen
X is because I keep perpetually being confused. So You're
like that sounded sarcastic, and I'm like, it actually just
sort of sounded like right right right, you know, but
this is how people.

Speaker 8 (12:19):
Sound a lot just made it's made up.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, you know, so are.

Speaker 8 (12:23):
You can hear these fighting dogs here there?

Speaker 1 (12:27):
You know, I feel like you're preoccupied. These dogs are not.
They're not coming through on the airwaves. Are you in
love with anyone?

Speaker 8 (12:39):
Am I in love?

Speaker 11 (12:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (12:42):
Well I'm married to a lady who with whom I
am very much in love, yes, And with these two
dogs who are couldn't like trying to eat me.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
I almost feel like you're promoting your dogs. Like it's
almost like, at the end of this you're gonna say
like their Instagram account or something.

Speaker 8 (12:58):
They're just they're just very much in my face at
the moment, so that they're sort of seeping through into
any other topic that.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
I'm just trying to poke around and figure out if
there's anything kind of scandalous or wild about you.

Speaker 8 (13:15):
Well, if there is, it's far too late to night
for that to marriage mccret.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
But you know, we just get really excited for an
international caller, and I'm trying to bring some of that,
you know, international man of mystery. Well, I did once
kill a man, you know, oh he hung up. I

(13:41):
don't know how I feel about that. That was, first
of all, a long call when he just kept saying
everything about him was boring, and then he said he
killed him and hung up on me.

Speaker 12 (13:53):
Hi, Kelsey, I'm calling and response to the same wich
episode that I just heard.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
Now.

Speaker 12 (13:57):
I love a good Italian, I love a rubin, I
love a BLT. But the superior sandwich, without a doubt,
is a girl cheese. A girl cheese can be made fancy,
it can be made cheaply. It's just perfect. It makes
a bad day good. The girl cheese is the best sandwich.
And I can argue with anyone about this and I

(14:19):
will win girl cheese hands down.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I feel like cheese is also like kind of a cheat,
like butter is a cheat. Cheese is cheat like I
don't know, I think also, I do think cheap grilled
cheese is better than fancy grilled cheese.

Speaker 13 (14:41):
By Chelsea, I want everyone to know that you should
eat lunch before you go to the dentist, because I
just immediately went out for pizza after having some fillings
and something crunched and it was not my pizza, twas
my lip. What learned from my mistakes, Folks, thank you.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Oh eat like, don't eat when your mouth is numb.
I mean, isn't that pretty?

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Self explanatory? Okay, or have a smoothie or something if
your lip is numb and you can't. She's like eating
sandwiches and cruditay.

Speaker 8 (15:19):
All right?

Speaker 6 (15:21):
Any Chelsea A big fan here, first time caller, recent
time listener. I have a food test for you and
a topic. So food tests now are easier to do live.
But my food test is halva. It's like a sesame,

(15:43):
and my answer personally is yes, I love halva. It's
kind of greeny though texture is weird, but do you
think of sets me flavored? I'm down with. Topic is
the silent treatment. How do we feel about the silent
giving receiving? What are your thoughts? I love, but I

(16:05):
want to hear yours and your guests.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
I'd like to receive this silent treatment right now. I
think the silent treatment is not actually really giving what
you want it to give a lot of times, because
if you're trying to have the energy of like I'm
done with you, I don't care.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
There.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
I think there's you can be in contact, but detach
with a bit more. I think the silent treatment is
super reactive, and I guess to me it seems immature,
like if you're cooling off on someone, either express it

(16:49):
or just take a step back but still be responsive,
but just don't be super engaged. Silent treatment seems just
like honestly, it's like harder on you too, to be
like holding in some huge resentment and giving someone the
silent treatment. Either talk about it or just cool things

(17:12):
off a little bit, in my opinion, receiving it. I
hate receiving the silent treatment, I do think. I guess
sometimes people just feel like there's no way to navigate
a person and they just have to completely remove themselves.
And I've definitely felt that with people. But in that case,
it's not really a silent treatment so much as ending

(17:36):
contact with someone. A different thing in my opinion, because
a silent treatment feels like you're trying to get them
to You're trying to win and get them like, hey,
come on, talk to me or something, whereas ending a
relationship is more full stop, like this isn't working.

Speaker 14 (18:01):
Hi, Chelsea, this is Sharon with Here we Go Entertainment.
John Early is a client of ours, a beloved client
of ours, and we were doing our weekly scan of
all media and actually found an old episode of yours
in which you call John's cooking skills into question, and

(18:24):
we just wanted to get it on record that this
was not a normal occurrence for him. He was nervous
and choked in your presence, put too much pepper in
the dish, and bought pairs that were not ripe. He
also regrets being so publicly linked with katu pepe, given
that the trend has long pass also moved on from

(18:46):
the Mark Bittman cheese paste that you put in the bowl.
He doesn't do that anymore. He does a more sophisticated
approach where he emulsifies it with pasta water in the.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Pan shots fired, unsophisticated.

Speaker 14 (18:59):
Who He's not mad? He's not mad. I'm pretty sure
he doesn't really even listen to the podcast. Oh but
we are mad on his path. So again, he's not mad.
We are mad. Thank you so much. Give me a
call back if you want to discuss that. I'm at
two two one one one two two two one one
two one.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Now who did this person say they are hi?

Speaker 8 (19:21):
Chelsea?

Speaker 14 (19:22):
This is Sharon Sharon. Here we go Entertainment.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Sharon with Here we Go Entertainment. It's funny, yeah, John.
Years ago, John cooked for me and had two disasters,
But I still believe that John is an intuitive and

(19:48):
passionate home cook. I love that Sharon of let me.

Speaker 14 (19:56):
See, hi, Chelsea, this is sharing with Here we Go Entertainment.
John Early is a client of ours.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Of I love that Here we Go Entertainment is kind
of combing through the internet and listening to podcasts and
kind of fact checking and covering all his I guess
bloody footprints. Yeah, listen, these were kitchen debacles. A hard

(20:27):
pair Trying to cut a hard paar? Have you ever
tried that? It's very challenging the knife and it's already like,
you know, the shape is hard to penetrate. But when
you I don't even know how you get a hard pair, Like,
it has to be extremely out of season. I guess,
In which case, why make a paar based dessert. I
feel like to make a pair based dessert, you have

(20:48):
to be at the farmer's market and be like, ah.

Speaker 15 (20:51):
Pears are lovely and lush at this time, I know
I'll make a pear dessert. You can't like start from
a recipe, Oh pear dessert and it's like, oh, it's
not par season whatever. So Sharon, maybe tell John that.
And in terms of Mark Bittman, Mark, I'm so sorry

(21:12):
that John's I guess they said he's a client. I
guess his his people are calling your recipe unsophisticated. For
catch you up, Pepe, I will say I had a
Mark Bitman collection of recipes that you know, I just
never used any.

Speaker 7 (21:31):
There.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
There's something about them that I just never I would
pull it open, i'd look through there, and I just
never wound up doing any of them. I'll tell you
what I do use Alice Waters cookbook. John, Sharon, you
might want to check that one out. Okay, it's good
for a home cook anyway. Shout out to John Early
so curious call in calling the pod update us. What

(21:53):
are you cooking now? What's in season? What fruits are
in season that you're working with right now? John, or
what fruits are out of season? We're open minded here, bye, Sharon.

Speaker 11 (22:10):
Hey Chelsea, this is Susie and I have a question.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
My sister left in her apartment where I'm now living
a absolutely huge and useless trampoline that feels like it's
eight by eight feet.

Speaker 11 (22:24):
The size of my bathroom. I don't know what to
do with it. I don't know where to go. She
it's just that I keep it, and I think she
has a hoarding problem. I need your help. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
I think there's a lot of like undiagnosable hoarders like
they're not they're on the hoarding spectrum. So get rid
of it, sell it, or say I'm gonna ship it
to you. I didn't even know I halfway listened. Can't
be worrying about your tramp.

Speaker 9 (23:01):
Hey, Chelsea, my name's Whitney. And I just listened to
your call with somebody talking about the little Bitter strip
and funny and I did that recently. There's a I
work at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee, and
there's a food science lab here where they have people

(23:21):
come in and you taste tests for different products and
they pay you to do it. So I do it
all the time because they give you a Kroger gift card.
It's all you do is go in and they give
you like five strawberries, and they have like a little
iPad and you just answer questions about these strawberries. It's
so fun. I love the science of it all. And

(23:43):
then they give you like five dollars or ten dollars
at the end of it. But anyway, I'm a super
taster can confirm. I don't know what the strip is.
I don't remember what I was called, but anyway, it's
really interesting. It's called the Sensory Lab, and I think
there's you know, there's many of them, but the one
at the university attendenty is really cool. And yeah, love

(24:05):
the show, Thanks Jeffie.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
I don't know. This kind of gets the gears turning
in my head. Why are you tasting five strawberries? And
what follow up questions could they possibly be asking? Unless
these are some kind of freak GMO strawberries and they're
actually like literally just seeing like if you're going to
get cancer or not, and they're not telling you what

(24:27):
the actual you know what I mean? And also how
are you I don't there's a lot missing from this story.
I'd like to talk to you more about it, but
what are the questions about the strawberries? Was it juicy?
Did it taste like a strawberry? It's like, wait, hold on,
what is it? It's like made out of rabbit lungs,
and you're like, I'm a separate dat.

Speaker 16 (24:48):
Hey Chelsea, my name's my Lenia. I just wanted to
give you a call. I saw that you were taking
calls on your Instagram. I don't know if you're like
live right now or what's going on, but I just
wanted to give you a call. Let you know, because
you know, like I said, just got out of the gym,
and I actually took a girl with me today and

(25:08):
she has a crush on me, but I don't have
a I don't you know, I don't see her like that.
But she wanted me to help her get into working out,
so I offered to go ahead and let her come
with me. And today I was helping her do I
was helping her do some sit ups, you know, very
basic workout. I just was helping her by, you know,

(25:30):
doing the thing where you get down and hold their
feet in place so they can do the sit up
so with a cleaner form. Unfortunately, she did let a
a pretty fat, juicy, really just a hot fart rip
basically right in the vicinity of my face, not like
in my face, but in the vicinity you know what

(25:50):
I'm saying. So it was basically in my face she
was extremely embarrassed. She turned beat red, like her face
was very very red, and I just kind of giggles softly.
Nobody around us heard it, I don't think, but you know,
it's my job as her trainer to make sure that
she's comfortable. So I was just kind of like, don't
worry about if everybody does that. But it was a

(26:12):
complete lie. Nobody really does that. It's very very much
something to be embarrassed by. But I just thought you'd
find that story funny. Anyways.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
By first of all, I always feel like when men
call and say anything like this, I'm always like, are
you just like a fucking pervert? And this is just
you wanted me to talk about this because I think
I've mentioned this guy that used to always be like,
will you do a burping vid? On like every form
of social media that I was on, and I would
see him saying that to other people. I'm like, Okay,
you a little fucking weird freak. I don't like a

(26:44):
juicy I don't like that description of a fart. I
don't care for that. Also, I know that that is
common because my trainer told me that, not that I
did it.

Speaker 8 (26:59):
Ye didn't.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
I did not, but she mentioned there was something we
were doing, and she mentioned that sometimes people do fart
when they do that. Also, why are you taking a
girl that has a crush on you to the gym?
Is she paying you to train her? This is something
I just feel like. It's such a like a weird

(27:22):
dynamic in your twenties. It's like people who have crushes
on one has a crush and one doesn't, and they
hang out all the time. It's like it's so clear,
crystal clear now looking backward that the person who doesn't
have the crush is loving the attention. Otherwise, why are
you hanging out? Anyway? It sounds like this one backfired back.

(27:42):
Her back fired out a toot, best of luck.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Oh my god.

Speaker 17 (27:52):
I did not think I was going to get through it.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
I tried.

Speaker 17 (27:54):
So I'm calling from New Zealand and I didn't know
how to see the number. I wasn't working. But now
it's work. And I drag a Honda, and I love
seating and I love peanut butter, and you're the best.
And once I photoshopped a photo with no eyes of
you and you put it on your Instagram and you
called me what device? And now I get everyone to

(28:15):
call me what device? Because I love you so much
and if you play this, I will be screaming I
love you. I love your Chelsea.

Speaker 18 (28:23):
Bye.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oh yeah, why was I trying to get my eyes photoshopped?
I can't remember. I do wish I had photoshop skills.
I feel like I was just born a little too early.
I feel like people who are young can edit and photoshop.
They'd come out of the Kouchi photoshopping and editing videos Cuchi. Yeah,

(28:49):
I can't remember what that was about. But when people
can photoshop and edit videos, I just feel like if
I had that skill set, my life would be so good.
Although it feels like photoshop humor is not really a
thing anymore.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
It's just.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
I don't know. I don't know what I have to
say here, all.

Speaker 19 (29:10):
Right, Okay, Chelsea. I was a big fan for a
long time. Oh, I loved you before Brooklyn and I
loved you on that show. I'm not gonna leave any
identifying information. I don't really want to be identified. I'm
kind of down. Actually, I was talking to this bill
pretty seriously for about a month now, nothing too serious.
We met off like a dating app.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
So really, you know, you said pretty seriously then nothing
too serious.

Speaker 19 (29:32):
But I just found out today, even though we've been
pretty seriously, we planned a pretty big date for this Sunday.
I'm just finding out today now, Friday night, as I
get off my week of work, she actually is back
on the dating app already. And that's like fine, because
we never really were that serious. But I found out
from a friend today who matched with her, and that

(29:54):
kind of hurt. He didn't talk to her at all.
He was a good friend, but I just I don't
even know how to take that. Like, I know, it's
her thing, I don't really care at this point. I
just kind of feel bad because I planned the whole
date for Sunday. I got a couple of things and
I plan to make her like chocolate strawberries because she
wanted some the other day and we couldn't get any,

(30:15):
and he'll make them go on a big date with her.
I was going to pack them for a big it
was all thing, and now I just don't even know
if I'm up for it. I might still do it,
just to prove I'm still have my own self worth.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
What makes strawberries with the date and just.

Speaker 19 (30:29):
Maybe see where things go still, But oh, it's truly
taking a damper on me. So I just don't know. Anyway,
thanks for taking the message.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Every way, I can't tell. It's like it sounds like
you're acting. I don't trust anyone right now in life,
Like I feel very on edge, like everyone's like I
think living in LA has gotten to me, Like are
you really sad? You sound like you're acting sad. But anyway,
here's what I'll say about dating, Like again looking back,
So you haven't met the one till you've met the one,

(30:57):
and I know that, Like, of course, it's nor and
natural to mourn if if someone's treating you bad or
they don't connect with you in the way that you thought.
But isn't it kind of comforting to go, oh, they
might just not be the one and you might meet
them later the person who is the one? Hello, Hello, Yeah,

(31:19):
how awesome. Yeah. I'm listening to voicemails and this guy
is like sad about Actually, I honestly need to re
listen to it. I can't understand it. Like he was
dating someone but then she matched with someone on a
dating app. I guess they weren't exclusive. He said it
was serious, but it wasn't serious. Anyway, he was like,

(31:40):
gonna make her chocolate covered strawberries, and I don't like
chocolate covered strawberries. So I'm also just like, if that's
what she's into.

Speaker 20 (31:53):
Maybe that's why she left.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
It feels like that could be a red flag, like
she probably.

Speaker 20 (31:58):
Yeah, maybe who's like, you're going to her strawberries? I'm out.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
If you like chocolate covered strawberries, you probably love rom coms.
I feel like I don't. I don't think rom coms
as a genre are generally that good. I will say
I loved Ali Wong's.

Speaker 20 (32:14):
Yeah, that's like one of the last ones I've seen.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Always Be My Baby. I thought that was very funny.
I thought she looked really good, and.

Speaker 20 (32:26):
It did take me a while to watch until I
because I was watching somewhere her stand up and then
it was suggested to me, yeah, I haven't.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
It was really good.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Robots are already a lot.

Speaker 20 (32:38):
It had has comedy in it, because like sometimes rom
coms aren't really.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Right just right. So anyway, well, I think he might have.

Speaker 20 (32:50):
You know, if that person's not that into you, they're
just not that into you.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Right, can control it. I mean that is a comfort
in dating where you just go, well, I can't make
someone like me more than they do. I can't make
someone be right for me either they are they aren't.
And time will tell you know, there's something comforting in.

Speaker 20 (33:12):
That exactly exactly because just better often being with someone
that doesn't actually want to be with you. Yeah, yep,
now you have time to find someone you want that
likes chocolate covered strawberries. What so So, now you have
time to find someone that like that likes chocolate covered strawberries.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Yeah, I mean maybe he likes them. I'm curious if
there's any way I would love a chocolate covered strawberry.
I just feel like, like.

Speaker 20 (33:38):
It had a little drizzle, it wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Be bad, right Like texturally it's like almost Also, I
feel like the chocolate's kind of ferment and the chalk,
like I mean the strawberries for mint, Like you put
the warm chocolate on them, it almost like cooks them
a little and then they cool and they have this
sort of like almost lickory fermented taste inside of like that,
I love chocolate. I don't know. I just like when

(34:03):
I was young, I could eat anything, and I was raial, thin,
had a perfect body. Now I'm just like is it
worth the cows? And I'm not I'm not, by any
means a particularly restrictive eater, Okay, but I do think
is it worth the cows and a chocolate covered strawberry?
Not really?

Speaker 4 (34:23):
No?

Speaker 20 (34:25):
Yeah, yeah, there's there are other things to spend it on,
Like even just a fresh strawberry is so good by itself.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
You know what's crazy. I had these two mangos that
I bought, and one was so perfect, so like maybe
the best mango I've ever had, perfect amount tart to sour,
I mean tart to sweet. And then the other one
I opened like two days later and it was too sweet,
and I'm like, wow, you really got to catch it
on the exact day of perfect fatness.

Speaker 20 (34:54):
It's an avocado.

Speaker 13 (34:54):
It's like an avocado.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah. And that's something like as I've been trying more
tropical fruits and things that are exotic to me, I'm like,
you don't you actually do need to know about the
ins and outs of something if you're gonna eat it.
If you're eating it it's on the wrong day, You're
going to make a whole presumption about it. That isn't
I have to pee for sure?

Speaker 6 (35:19):
I tried.

Speaker 20 (35:20):
I Uh, you can go. I just gonna say I tried,
uh the Notarius, but the one stuffed uh with the
leaves on the outside.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Dolma, mhm, Dolma.

Speaker 18 (35:36):
No no.

Speaker 20 (35:38):
Oh, well, I'll write an email if it comes back
to me. But article the artist stuffed artistrokes uh recipes
that have been going around.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
No stuffed artis.

Speaker 21 (35:50):
Yes, duffed arttokes.

Speaker 20 (35:51):
They put like butter and bread crumbs in the garlic
in there, and.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
They like wave about it.

Speaker 20 (35:55):
And I was so excited to try this, spend all
this time making it, and I was like, I did
something wrong.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
I don't know what I did.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
I have to say a bad one. I object to
that premise that you need to fucking stuff an artichoke.
Artichokes are, first of all I've learned, they are very
much Californian and very much Italian Like a lot of
people have never tried an artichoke before, so I'm sure
it's more entry level appealing to someone to eat it

(36:24):
if it's got a bunch of bread crumbs on it,
Like that's what you do with anything that people are
intimidated by. It just put like butter and bread crumbs. However,
artichokes Here's what I do for my artichokes. Steam them.
I put in the steamer. I put a little white wine,
a bay leaf. I chop an onion in half and
put that in there, A little garlic and white wine
and some water, and I steam that, and so some

(36:46):
of that flavor goes into the artichokes. Delicious. Then I
make a little sauce. I use mayonnaise, I like, sir
Kensington or whatever it's called. Is that what it is, sir,
Sir Kensington. I put a little Frank Frank or what's
the other one that's like Frank's the Oh my god,
my brain is slowly shutting down. The hot sauce that

(37:10):
everyone that's vinegary. That's no, no, no, I don't like
to ask of that much.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, I don't like tobacco.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Crystal crystal. You put a little dash of crystal or
franks in some mannais, squeeze a bunch of lemon into that,
and you stir it up. It could even be almost watery,
or it can be a little thicker, and then you
dip that steam darted choke into it. It's all you need.
It's delicious. And then you scoop out, you know, once
you get to the heart, you scoop all that out

(37:37):
with a spoon and you dip the heart in it
and it is fucking amazing.

Speaker 20 (37:42):
Yeah, that sounds really good. That sounds like way more
at my alley because it was all bread crumbs. I
was like, I'm just eating bread crumbs.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
I know. I ordered like these clams at this Italian
restaurant that one of my comedy friends made me go
to that I won't name the restaurant or the comedy friend,
but I don't like it. And I got these clams there.
They were like, oh, you can get these. These are
the New York Cleians. I did not think they were good,

(38:11):
and they were just baked clams with tons of bread crumbs,
and it's like I couldn't even discern where the clam
was and it just almost tase like fishy baked bread crumbs.
So I said, that's gonna be uh no.

Speaker 20 (38:28):
Exactly. I think they just maybe it's the hype around them, but.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
I do think all these like like them viral recipes,
like a lot of them look disgusting, and part of
the problem is the desperation to churn out daily content,
and so people are like.

Speaker 7 (38:44):
Listen, this recipe sucks, but I gotta make the money.
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta pay my rent. So
let me put out this r chokelin bread crumbs ass
recipe and just get this fucking posted so people can click,
so my numbers can be up, so I can pay
my rent. Who cares if it tastes good, just keeps
shoveling the recipes out into the world, into the ether.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Pretty soon it'll all be every.

Speaker 20 (39:05):
Every recipe is the best recipe they've ever had.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
And it's so and it's like a friend is going
to enjoy this, did it? It's like, no, they're not,
you fucking.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
You know.

Speaker 20 (39:16):
They just took one bite and they throw the rest
of way.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Yeah, all right, I gotta go. I got a peep.

Speaker 20 (39:21):
Okay, you like soup dumplings because you don't I do.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
I love soup dump Okay, all right, all right you okay?

Speaker 22 (39:27):
By hi, Chelsea. I'd love to know, as a mom
and a married person, like, how do you have friends?
What makes a good friend to you? How do you
be a good friend?

Speaker 23 (39:46):
Thank you?

Speaker 20 (39:48):
Well.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
One thing that sucks that I've really felt in my
life is that I like spontaneous hangs and I could
hang daily with a friend that I like, whereas most
people in LA that I know are planners and they
like to plan a hang and they want to hang
like once a week, once every other week. And I

(40:09):
do feel like what I loved about friendship when I
was younger. When you're in school together, you see each
other every day, it's just built into the friendship and
most weekends and it's super fun. And you know, once
people are married and have kids, it's like, hmm, you know,
you see a taste of it. When people started getting
dogs as young adults. It's like I have to go
feed my dog. I have to get back to my dog,

(40:30):
and then that's just like times a thousand. Once you
have a kid and a husband, it's like, you know,
you meet for like an hour and it's over before
it begins, and you're like, you're if you're if you
have kids, Like when I meet up with my friends
who have kids, like we're like speed talking because no
one's had an adult conversation in so long, and then
it's like, okay, here's my and then you're like, all right, well,

(40:53):
let's try to meet again in two months. And it's
like it is a bummer, and you know, I don't know.
I don't know if I've ever really found a friend
soulmate in a way that has the same appetite for
extraversion that I do. I've had periods where I was

(41:14):
super close to people and then our lives would shift,
like someone gets a girlfriend or a boyfriend and things
like that, and just it's hard to maintain, I guess,
But yeah, I don't know. I have a lot of friends,
and I have a lot of people that I hang with,
but I think I have fewer people that I feel

(41:37):
super close to that I feel I could call about
anything and that I could lean on or whatever. I
don't know. I mean, I have good friends that are nice,
but I do feel like, in a weird way, like

(42:02):
I have an eternal hope that I'll make a certain
kind of female friend that I still haven't made, If
that makes sense.

Speaker 21 (42:15):
Hi, Chelsea, I am calling because I was wondering if
you have any go to kids movies that you watch
with your kids, because I have a three year old
and we watch in Canto for the first time last
week and it was her first full length movie and

(42:40):
now we are literally listening to only in Canto in
the car. Is it a contact every where we go?
It's just in canto all the time, And honestly, personally
it's I love it. I think I like really needed
an escape from the world, and in cantill is like

(43:02):
my brief respite.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Into respe isn't it respite.

Speaker 21 (43:09):
Coopoo Disney for a really long time. I don't want
to go to Disney World or anything, but I do
want like solid quality kids movies. I'm talking about good songs.
I'm talking about adult humor. This might be a really
wame question. Maybe you won't play it, but in the
case that you do, thanks for your guys.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
I know well, I can't tell you how often I'm
googling this very question and trying to find new answers.
In fact, I did it this weekend and I screenshoted
some of the answers that I found. But the problem is,
like a lot of old movies have something racist in
them that's egregiously racist or you know. I mean, that

(43:52):
is one of the main problems. But the red balloon
on the criteria channels are short. That was kind of good.
People were saying my life as a dog, which I
feel like I saw when I was young, and I
thought it was like depressing or something. But people were
saying that the Adventures of Baron Munchausen, which seems maybe promising.

(44:15):
Yellow Submarine. People were like arguing about whether kids would
actually watch a Swiss family Robinson. People were saying, I
haven't seen that. I don't think ever. And someone's saying

(44:38):
a Night at the Opera the River Together. I don't
know why, worry that has some sweet natured giant or something.
Ozu's I was born. I mean, I was looking all
these up and I'm like, I don't know. I don't know.
Night on the Galactic Railroad. I haven't seen any of these.
This is just what I was finding. And I was

(44:58):
like screenshotting to look up Wizard of Oz was fun.
I would like to check out the Secret Garden. I
always liked that. Someone said that Wind in the Willows,
Triplets of Belleville, but I feel like there was some

(45:19):
reason that wasn't good. I don't know the Bluebird. Someone
said the five Thousand Fingers of Doctor T I don't
know that was live action. I just felt like I
was going through all these and I'm like, I don't know,
and it just feels like also for a young kid,
when you start playing a movie, they're immediately like I

(45:39):
hate it, and so you really have to kind of
pre research and try to find one that will be
their speed, or you break all trust and they never
want to watch anything that you're recommending. Anyway, if you know,
please email me. If you have any tips, please email
because it is so hard. It's like, also, kids don't
want to watch movies. They want to watch YouTube, and

(46:00):
I want to watch fucking like literally ads and short
videos on Instagram and YouTube, and it's like such a
soul sucking thing. It's like, I really want to watch
good movies period, not just even kids ones, but family
movie night is such a thing that you just want
to do and it's hard.

Speaker 23 (46:20):
Hi, Chelsea, I just got off the phone with the
most amazing Verizon customer service person ever. I was calling
about my bill, of course, and that part is boring,
but he was just so awesome. He was talking about

(46:42):
like ego. I know that sounds stupid, what I'm gonna
You're talking about ego and like the higher you climb,
like the more of your ego you have to let
go of.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
God, I'm gonna mess it up.

Speaker 23 (46:55):
You liked freaking changed my life. And then I got
on Instagram when I saw that you said you were
taking calls, so I thought I'd try to get through.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Did you choose your life?

Speaker 23 (47:05):
I didn't know if anyone else would understand this, like
just transcendent experience I just had.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
I don't think anyone will.

Speaker 23 (47:14):
I've actually been sober for two years. I completely and no,
but I feel high right now, like I this was goad.
It just makes you notice how many people you talk
to you on a daily basis are.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Just like going through the motions, Like this.

Speaker 23 (47:28):
Guy actually cared, Like this guy was like like positive
manifestationing me. It was like, I don't even know how
to explain it. All right, well maybe I don't know
what you're doing is important. That's the message I'm trying
to say. My name's Elizabeth. If you play this on
the pod, even if you don't, Yeah, just thanks for

(47:52):
taking my call. Okay, bye.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
See this is one of the risks of sobriety. One
of the challenges is you have a lot of time
on your hands and you need like overarching philosophies to
keep you afloat without you know, drugs or alcohol be
careful out there are sobers. Be careful, Chelsea.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
Have a topic for you.

Speaker 9 (48:13):
It is.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
What is a scent that takes you back to a memory?

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Cool water?

Speaker 4 (48:21):
This one kind of yellow crayon, and if I smell
it anywhere, I mean, like you can smell it anywhere,
like construction paper. I just remember where I was. I
was like three years old when I remember that, or
like a certain part of spring you remember, like track
and field day at school. No, anyway, what's your favorite

(48:45):
scent and that takes you back to a memory?

Speaker 1 (48:47):
Cool water colone. Everyone wore cool water colone in the
nineties and it smelled so fucking good. I would love
to actually smell it now. Yeah. Yeah, there was something
else I was going to say, but cool water cologne
is an evocative scent. There was someone who was wearing
my grandfather's clone, like a clone that he used to wear,

(49:09):
and I actually started tearing up. That was crazy, you
know what was going in my head was But then again,
I used to fuck my grandfather, That's what I was thinking.
And I'm like, this is that's the kind of humor
where you're like, that's advanced level humor that's not for everyone,
or is it low level humor. Sometimes I don't have

(49:32):
a good compass for these things. What was the other scin?

Speaker 4 (49:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (49:36):
I saw? I went to a strip club once with
an ex, and I the stripper smelled like My Little Ponies,
which was kind of like weirdly alluring. Would be a
good perfume.

Speaker 24 (49:52):
Hi, Chelsea, I'm a big fan. I was calling to
ask you a question. I wanted to know which of
your famous friends, Which of your friends who we might know,
has the best snack in their house? If you were
hankering for a snack and you could only go over

(50:14):
to a friend's house to have that snack, who would
you feel most confident is going to provide that?

Speaker 5 (50:22):
Uh?

Speaker 24 (50:23):
Let us know, Thank you bye.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
It's actually a great question. Sabrina Julie's and Nick Kroll
come to mind as making good food. My friend Corin
John Francis Daily, the director, his wife who is a
showrunner and writer, and she is an incredible cook. She's

(50:48):
maybe up there with the greats. Nick seems to be
cooking really good these days. Let's keep an eye on
Nick Kroll in this space. He made me this like
to maatillo chicken that was kind of brothy and like
it was really good. Sabrina Jiliz just cooks with passion,

(51:11):
lots of different flavors, And I'm trying to think if
there's anyone else. Mosha got mad at me because someone
told him I said that he doesn't have good food
taste anyway. They actually Mosha Natasha host a lot of

(51:33):
fun dinner gatherings. Snacks, I know, but who I mean.
I think if you're in the good food category, it's like,
I don't know who's feeding you snacks. I feed people
great snacks. I am the best. I am the best.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
Hey, Chelsea, wanted to get your take on Buffalo's chicken
because I just made a buffalo chicken rap and I
took one bite and unfortunately had to throw out the
whole thing, and I just realized that I actually hate it.
So you wanted to get your take.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
You all want to.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
I think.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
You might want to get my take on raps. Is
the issue the buffalo chicken or is the issue the rap? Yeah,
a buffalo chicken rap does not sound good. Now. Buffalo
wings dipped in ranch. We're circling a ranch theme lately.
That's good. What's funny is when I was younger, I
loved like Hidden Valley Ranch. I would have it in

(52:37):
the fridge and slice cucumbers and dip it in it.
And now I'm having a ranchaissance. I'm in a full
on ranchaissance where I love it on sweet potato fries
and I love it on wings. I got to get
off this train. I gotta get off to get off

(53:00):
the ranch and head back into the city.

Speaker 9 (53:07):
Hate Elsey.

Speaker 25 (53:07):
I'm wondering what you think about space travel or ocean exploration,
because I'm thinking about which one I would rather do,
Like would I rather be an astronaut or an underwater person?
Because they're both like gross environments, like no one wants

(53:28):
to be in that, Like you can't survive in either
of them. But I think I picked deep ocean because.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
Of all the little creatures that you would.

Speaker 25 (53:39):
Be able to see with a flashlight. But I don't
know if there's creature is that close? If you went
out into space right like a frozen little space bug
or like a squishy, hot neon yellow googly goo, that's
the one I think I I would go for. But

(54:01):
if you like space, tell me about why you warn't
go space.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Is this person like a nanny? This is like a
nanny tone, like I feel like this person's a nanny.
I'm really into trying to read people based off their voice. Anyhow,
I'm gonna go with ocean as well. I mean space
exploration from every movie I've seen about it just seems

(54:26):
like a fucking nightmare. No gravity. It's like life is
hard enough. Can you imagine like life being just life,
but then also add to it no gravity. Did you
see this thing where it's like a bag of trash
just landed on someone's house that was like from space

(54:46):
eight years ago, and it like broke through their roof.
NASA's like, ooh, whoops. Anyway, Yes, I find that space
and the are so terrifying and spooky and creepy and beautiful.

(55:07):
I guess, like if you go to an observatory and
you watch like their video, they're like movie about space,
it's like kind of awe inspiring, but it's also like
so lonely, and the ocean is so like the midnight Zone.
And but yeah, the ocean, I don't I guess we

(55:30):
don't know what's out there in space. Maybe there are
animals and stuff to be found, but the ocean, we
know there's lots of like creatures and things that are interesting.
So I'm gonna go ocean. But yeah, both just even
thinking about it, the mood that it gives you, I mean,
think about whale calls, like the sounds of whales. It's
like insane. That's the feeling of being underwater. And then

(55:52):
orcas have just been really acting up. We don't know
what's going on with the orcas right now, but they
are not happy. They're powerful. It really is weird to
be in the water and just think an orca could
come for you. My friend who's an environmentalist, is really
into like animal attack videos and things, and she's like,
it's unnatural for humans not to live in fear of

(56:15):
being attacked by an animal. And it is crazy that
we have bears in Pasadena. We have like mountain lions
here in La You could look, Blake saw a mountain
lion right outside his house, Like you could be attacked
by a mountain lion walking out of your house, and
there could be an earthquake, and it's like you kind
of put all this outside of your mind. But like

(56:38):
early Californians had a lot more danger. Bison, bears, coyotes,
wolves like wolves are repopulating in a lot of areas
right now. It seems, you know, there's a lot of
predators that humans just completely killed off that are good

(56:58):
for ecosystems. But yeah, you just have to like learn
to live with predators and not feel like you're at
the top of the food chain, like not only are
humans in cities, just like, yeah, we're at the top
of the food chain. We don't even know we're in
a food chain. We're just completely distanced from the very
idea that we're part of an animal kingdom. Being in

(57:22):
Costa Rica was crazy because there's like venomous snakes and
there's this, and there's that, and it's weird. It's like,
because I'm not familiar with what is what, I felt
much more like, oh my god, we could be killed
at any time by anything. But it's like we have
rattlesnakes in California, and Lord only knows. I still don't
have an answer, like if a rattlesnake bites you, is

(57:42):
that it if like a rattlesnake bit your kid on
a hike, what do you do? It's like, shouldn't we
know more of these things than we just offhand? And no,
I don't even know what emergency room I should go
to if something horrible happens? Is everyone else this ill prepared?

Speaker 10 (58:01):
Hey Hall, first time, long time. Just wanted to congratulate
you on speaking a first time, your movie coming out.
I was calling for some advice on moving abroad. I
leave tomorrow for six months in London.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (58:21):
Six months, big, big life change. Yeah, but it's also
like not permanent, so I don't know.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
It's cool.

Speaker 10 (58:30):
I saw your post and it felt like a sign
to call in and get some advice from you on
how to deal with being a new place and what
mentality to go into that kind of life change with.
I think the language at least okay, Thanks Chelsea, goodbye.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
I mean that sounds so fun. I feel like once
you have a kid, like these kinds of life changes
are so much harder to figure out. Not for everyone,
I guess, but for me. But like, six months in
London sounds really fun like and also like a good
amount of time, like you're going to feel like you
live there, and then right when you're getting a little

(59:15):
bit like homesick, you're going to be headed home. Well,
when I travel, I'm very coffee shop oriented, So wherever
you're going to be living. I would go and look
on Yelper, trip Advisor and try to find the coolest
coffee shop, restaurant, et cetera in my neighborhood. Bookstores are

(59:42):
another fun one, and just go walk around and explore.
Unless you're in a very residential neighborhood, I guess, but
you know, find your local grocery store and walk around
owned and get yourself set up. I think having a

(01:00:04):
little haunt is how to get acclimated. Like if you
go to the same cafe all the time, like figure
out where it has the best coffee or where has
the best food that you like, and then just go
there and get your bearings and take it from there.
I mean I think that as you know, as I've
gotten more into my escape rooms and pottery and things
like that, you know it would be fun to do

(01:00:24):
something like that, and maybe through whatever your job is,
you'll meet people that are cool too. I have a
lack of information. I don't know where what neighborhood you're in,
or what your job is, but always start with coffee.

(01:00:44):
Whenever I was like on tour or doing anything like that,
I would always like first stop was finding good coffee
because I feel like once you're like good coffee shops
are usually in good neighborhoods, like to walk around and
not always but often, and it just helps you figure
out where you are and what it's all about. Quitting

(01:01:08):
coffee at this point would be so tragic. Like periodically
people say like I culick coffee and I've never felt better.
I'm just like, I can't.

Speaker 11 (01:01:18):
I can't say, Chelsey.

Speaker 18 (01:01:21):
So today is my niece's first birthday, my first niece,
her first birthday. I got her like a princess outfit
for the day, because my princess. But I'm just wondering.
I know you have a son who I don't know
how old he is now, but I'm just wondering if

(01:01:41):
there is something like a small trinket or something that
I can give to her that will be like a
reoccurring yearly gift. Her birthday was today, but her party
isn't until a week and a half from now, so
I have a little bit of time to order or

(01:02:03):
get something. I'm just I'm looking for ideas of a
small trinket, like a yearly trinket for my knee. I
love you, Chelsea. I love the podcast.

Speaker 5 (01:02:15):
Goodbye.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
It's kind of hard because kids don't take care of things.
So it's like a trinket won't last that long unless
this kid is a really like, you know, careful personality.

(01:02:37):
When I was a kid, I had a button collection
that I was kind of into that had like a
little container. I me and my dad would go to
this button store and get buttons. That was cute. I
don't know what.

Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
What I think is so cute for little kids is
those stools that say their names on them, the little
step stools. Those are cute, and they like it feels
like you could keep having that around well into their
sixteenth year, and they're so ashamed of it. I don't know, man,

(01:03:15):
I'm trying to declutter all the time. It's like, I
feel like we have so much shit that when you're
talking about trinkets, I'm just like, ah, fucking hell. Maybe
you should get like, you know, a little magazine subscription
that comes once a month. You know, those are cute
and they come regularly. My general tip when you're buying

(01:03:41):
stuff for people's kids, and maybe I'm the outlier here,
but don't buy huge shit or things that are like
a series with a million pieces, like no game with
a million pieces. No game that's like five feet by
four feet wide. No nothing with times of pieces, and
nothing that's like a collection of like you know, it's like,

(01:04:05):
keep it simple, keep it small, keep it heartfelt and
quality materials. I personally am odd. I don't like toys
with batteries. I think they're always immediately broken and not working,
or they're always out of batteries or you have to
unscrew the little fucking battery thing. It's like, I do

(01:04:27):
think all that stuff is excessive and it's all going
to land in a landfill. I know that's not fun,
So I don't really stick to that, like on a
hardcore principled way, but I do get overwhelmed at like
Christmas and birthdays, which is like a bunch of fucking
like plastic junk, and like things that I know are
going to be broken in a week or totally. The

(01:04:49):
pieces are going to be all over the place and missing,
and it's almost going to be trash within a week
or within a mon or whatever. I think games are good,
like a well thought out game, and art supplies are cool.

(01:05:13):
What if you do like a yearly certificate to something
that the kid is interested in, like an art store
or a class like a summer class or something. I
don't know. What do you what's your budget? And what
is a trinket? What's your budget? And what is a
trink a? That's it?

Speaker 6 (01:05:36):
