Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I invited you.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hear I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're
a guess to my home, you gotta come to me empty.
And I said, no, guess, you're on presences. Presence enough.

(00:31):
I already had too much stuff, So how did you
dare to surbey me?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Listener, you're going to hear the same information from me
in just a moment. But I think it bears repeating
that the live show at Dynasty Typewriter is August twenty second,
and if you're not there, I'm going to lose my mind.
If you're listening on the release day of this podcast,
August twenty second is tomorrow, So there's urgency here, so

(01:09):
don't delay. Go to Dynastytypewriter dot com. We're going to
have such special guests Lauren Lapkis, Tarren Killem, and Vinnie Thomas,
three of my all time favorites. Everybody loves their episodes.
I loved their episodes. They're coming on and then on
Aalise Nelson, who you may be familiar with, and Jimmy Smagoula,
you may be familiar with. Two people I'm actively trying

(01:30):
to remove from my life, are going to be performing
a song with my friend James Girard. The song is
the theme song, and I'm vaguely aware of what they're doing,
and it seems like it's going to be spectacular. The
talent on display is going to be world class, and
then I'll be giving away some gifts that I've been
given on the show. It's going to be a very

(01:50):
nice time. And we're also live streaming where you'll get
be able to get in the chat, and there's a
good chance my mom, Debbie Wineger, will be in there,
and I expect you to be kind Debbie, and she'll
be kind to you. She'd get really nasty. So go
to Dynasty typewriter dot com to buy tickets or get
the live stream. No excuses, welcome to I said, no gifts.

(02:14):
I'm Bridger Weineger. We're here in the studio. I got
here just moments ago. Usually I try to get here,
you know, at least ten to fifteen minutes before, but
I wasted my time this morning, absolutely wasted it, and
so I'm just arriving. You know, I just got off
the freeway, so in a lot of ways, I'm still
going seventy three miles per hour. If you can feel

(02:36):
that energy. What else is going on? The live show
is uh August twenty second. Hopefully you're listening to this
before that. It's a Dynasty typewriter, or you can live
stream it. Do whatever you want, but you have to
do one of those two things. There's no third option.
M it's Monday as we're recording this. What happened over

(02:59):
the weekend, and I bought some storage bins and cleaned
out my closet. Now the good Will bag is sitting
in my car, so I look forward to that being
in there for the next two to three years. We'll
see how long it takes me to get there. But
there are some good items in it. There's some good
clothing and a few board games. So beyond the lookout
at Goodwill and I think, I think that's everything. That's

(03:22):
that's my life. I'm just so unbelievably thrilled about today's guest.
I think he's so funny. It's Pete's eyes, Pete welcomed,
I said, no gifts.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Well, thank you for having me.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Oh, I'm so happy. I have obviously learned a view
through Instagram because you're the only good thing left on
the service than you, and recently you've you've had a
lubooboo situation.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
I have a victim of a labooboo crime, a kidnapped bing.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
What happened you? You've got one?

Speaker 3 (03:56):
A few weeks ago, I was gifted one, okay by friend,
well because I was, I was getting sucked in by
the whole la booboo craze talking about it on filming
the you know segments on television, off the off my television,
and you know it was like a friend of a
friend and they sent me the laboo boo and I

(04:16):
was so excited. I did they want me to do
an unboxing over on Instagram Live, So I did. Three
days later, I go to Vonn's, the one across the
street from the Vista Theater.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh yeah, of course I know that Vonn's very well, it.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Used to be nice. Now it's unhinged.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I know where the bathroom is and everything. Well, did
you see a la boo boom in there? A green
la boo boo? I went.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
I went to a Fourth of July to get fried
chicken to take over my friend Drew's house for a
little or uh you know, Fourth of July affair. I'm
waiting in line, I get out of line. I go
to Starbucks and I looked down Starbucks. That's inside them,
of course, inside the bonds, and my laboo is off,
gone off my bag and just the little key is

(04:59):
still so there.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
And you didn't feel the tug or anything.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
No, but there was a guy. It was There was
a guy that asked me if I could pick a
basket up off the ground. I think it was you know,
I think it was him because he wasn't in line.
He started sort of cut in line and that because
that's how people when they steal, they distracted.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
They distract.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
That's what I do.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Me too. Yeah, I asked somebody for directions on their
phone and then I'm looking at it and I'm running
off that kind of pickpocket. Wow, so you bent over
he just snatched it off and was gone, do you
And wow, that's crazy to actually have seen your the perpetrator.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah, I look like his name was Mark Jacobs, the designer,
because Mark Jacobs has been seen carrying.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Lots of he has so many he has those very.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Long fingernails, fake fingernails, so it's perfect for like cutting
off labuobus from your purse.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
He's a saspect. But then and It was kind of
tragic because it was such an incredible thing for in
your life. It was there and now it's gone, But
now you've gotten how many new ones?

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Well because of that, I made a video like I
was just shot in the Vaughn's parking lot and a
group fitness instructor named Isaac Boots he does like Kelly
Rippa okay in the East Coast. He sent me a
box of six and I have them everywhere.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Now do you wear them out? I wear them?

Speaker 3 (06:19):
I wear two at a time.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Are you nervous when you're wearing them?

Speaker 3 (06:22):
But now I don't put them on my back because
it was my purse. Right now, I wear them on
my the loop of my belt.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Of my Somebody would have to be pretty bold to just.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Well, now I want them to touch me there. I'm
desperate for someone to come towards Yes, yeah, no, I
wear like two at a time.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay, And you're just rotating throughout. Have you ever gotten
into a fan like this before or is this a
new thing? Oh?

Speaker 3 (06:48):
I've always get into all the hippos, trendies, new things.
Of course you're on top of it all. Well, that's
why I wanted to have one I mean, I want
to be a part of the craze. You know, I'm
I'm nineteen.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Whatever I am. You're caught up in the college crazy nature.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
I want to be like you know, I want to
be jealous this summer, and they are, and they are.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
I'm jealous of you. I got that like a couple
of episodesisodes ago, Daniel Schneider brought that it's lafu Fou.
I don't know if you're familiar with la f I'm
gonna steal it. I would love for you to steal this.
I did. I was not aware of anything about them,
essentially until you started talking about them. That's fine, knocking the.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Sets a lot of energy with this love like a of.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Course, of course, yeah, I didn't know anything about them.
And now I like that they're everywhere.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
They're everywhere. The guy who invented them is like a billionaire.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Is there? Like there's one man who invented them.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
I believe that he's a Chinese billionaire.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Now wow. And then he just got in touch with
whoever this brand is. It's a hot pot mark. And
then I wonder how they do you have any how
they initially took off or was it just suddenly everywhere.
I don't know how to.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Initially took off because I just think, you know, when
you get them, you don't know what you're getting, right,
So I think people are like, oh, I have this
one by, I need this. I have all of them
or almost all of them, every color by this one.
So they're like, there's that's why someone stole mine. I
got a lot of messages from people saying mine was
stolen to mine was stolen to it's a crime ring.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Because you know it's a crime. It's a crime wave.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
People want these laboo boos. And then someone trying to
act like they were going to be really nice to
me and give me one, and I found out later
it was a lat fufo.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Somebody gave you a laf.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
They almost they did it. Oh, I got out of
the situation in time.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
How did you determine it was a laff?

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Somebody told me.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Somebody else stepped in to help you.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah, because they gifted that person.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Okay, would you have been able to tell that was
a lafufu?

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, because their heads, the real of the real of
labooboos heads don't turn.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Which it feels like a flaw in the prize exactly.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
You would want one that the head tie.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, that can really do it all. Wow. I didn't
realize that they're counting.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Teeth well, because they say the real Leabooboo's teeth are nine.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
And how many is on that ten? Wow?

Speaker 3 (09:14):
This is not real.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
This does not insulting to both of us. It's interesting
that they go that far to counterfeit it, but they
don't get a few minor details that would probably be
it would probably be cheaper for its head to not
move exactly and just take one tooth off. So they're
going the extra mile.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
It doesn't make any sense that the l FIFA is
actually better made than the La Boo.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Boo, right, right, But I guess that they're the same costs.
And you kind of don't know because Danielle, who gave
it to me, she just bought it thinking it was
a La Boo Boo.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Ah, she was swindled.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
But then the package is exactly like a La booboo.
Everything about it is like a labooboo. You open it
like a bag of potato chips, you know, which is
so satisfying.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
I have trouble about those bags.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Well, I wonder if now this is interesting because I've
only ever opened a La fu fou bag, so it
might have been easier, Yeah, because it's just kind of
popped open, like doris are very difficult. Yeah, it seems
like you have to like there's like a little tab
and I.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Always forget about that. I always trying to just pull
it and you can't really pull it open.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
I feel like that's another flaw in the product.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
That's I'm saying, maybe a le fufo is the way
to go.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, but they cost the same, but.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
It's not the same, Like it's not the same hyppness.
You know, all the cool kids.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Right the rest of your college friends are.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
You know, and we don't hang out with people that
have left a little.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Something I've been wanting to ask you is if you
subscribe to National Inquirer because you read this is something
that I adore about you, and I immediate is like,
this person, how have I Why have they not always
been part of my entertainment life? Because I love tabloids
and you read tabloids and weekly? Do you subscribe?

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Well, I read them star biweekly because I don't subscribe
to them. Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to
because they're harder and harder to find, right, But it's
like three hundred dollars a year for crazy because they're like,
they're like six dollars and I wasn't say an episode,
it's definitely an episode. And they're yeah, they're expensive because

(11:19):
they come out weekly. They're like six six dollars. I
used to have a subscription to them in college, which
while I'm in college now, but yeah, I used to
have a subscription them in college. But I should guess
probably I'm going to have to because sometimes when I
want to like buy them, I can't find them, right,
the grocery store is very difficult to find.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
What it's weird.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
It's in Los Angeles they're hard to find at grocery stores,
but in Pittsburgh, where my parents live, they're very easy to.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Find in grocery stores. They're a hot item.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
They're like, yeah, I feel like that's the target audience
is more of like Pittsburgh town, like a more of
a medium size setting.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Right, people who Yeah, I wonder what exactly that I mean,
because you and I would buy them exactly. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
I have no trouble finding them them here, finding them there,
but here it's like I have to drive, you know,
from grocer to sort of grocery store. Last week I
couldn't find them. Then there's a there's a magazine stand
in Largemont Village, right, but that one that's under a
threat of being closed.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
It's getting smaller and smaller. I'm scared. And the right
ed next to it closed down.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah, I mean this, this world's crumbled. Hollywoods crumble. My
Labooby was stilling at that trash varns trash, not in
a good way. Magazines you can't tablets you can't find.
Vagazine stands are clothing.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
This is what I'll also say about. Well, first of all,
I never buy them. I just and this is maybe
a weird quality about me. I'll just go to the
store and just stand at the end of the line
and page through them because I'm not going to buy them.
I'm not spending six dollars. I'm not subscribing, especially now
that I know that it's three hundred dollars. That's more
than like HBO. It's crazy, But I'll just stand there.

(12:59):
But they're getting frequently they don't have them, And now
I'm I'm starting to see US weekly and people the
headlines are not as good now.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
I mean those are my least favorite. You know, the
tabloid ask I prefer the well written, crazy written Globe
and Inquired the Mirror. Yes, well, the Star used to
be like like Star Magazine used to have like, oh,
I love to be more like like the Inquiry and Globe,
you know, like like the way it was put together.

(13:28):
Right now it's more of a glossy magazine like it is.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Right, it's small, it's patiti.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah that's Hollywood. It's small, it's.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
But yeah, I feel like all I ever see now
is their headlines, like their private world and uh uh
private hell private.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
How They also love to have like the sad last Days,
which is like anybody in Hollywood. It's always anybody's throw
a row for Labooboo. Honey, it's anybody's sad last Days.
It's actually probably la Booboo said Last Days.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
But Inquirer. They're pretty creative. The headlines are always something
to look at the.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Way they're written or crazy. I was not the way
that like the stories are written are so crazy. I
mean I love it.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Listening to you read them aloud is maybe my favorite
thing piece of audio. Thank you, but you've been reading
them since college.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
We're even younger than that.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Okay, yes, I mean I have.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
I found my parents' storage unit. I didn't even know
that my parents kept them all like a couple of
summers ago. I found a box of them right, dating
back to nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh my god, yeah, bring them. Huh, well, did you
bring them back with you?

Speaker 3 (14:51):
I did, and then I brought them back because yeah,
so I have. I have a lot of them.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
You should start reading those. I do. Yeah, I have.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
I sometimes do read.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh I'm so jealous because I'll go on eBay on
occasion and it's expensive to buy. You know, a few
of them. I know I have.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Well, some of my family is a hoarder, and it's
not me because we also have a lot of People
magazines and Entertainment Weekly.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Okay, and Entertainment Weekly is not fun.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
No, no, no, The People magazine has some good.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
The further back you get, oh my god, there's some
really good counters. Oh wow, I'm so jealous. But uh yeah,
I'm curious what will be in this week. I was
looking at Target last night and I feel like it
was a Biden senior abuse story on the front of
National Inquirer.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
And they like that one.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
That one's I'm a little tired.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
I'm tired of that one to say. Sometimes they like
that same story will leave and it'll come back around again,
even though it's not a new story.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
I tried to sell a story to the Inquirer in college,
you did, And they didn't buy it. They weirdly wanted
a lot of information. I didn't expect them to really care.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Oh they do care.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
They really go up for some type of sources and
I had none.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Well, the thing about them is is that sometimes there
is some sort of like truth mixing with the like
right craziness.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
I really do think that there's always a kernel of
truth to an Inquirer story.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah, that's true, especially especially more back then.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Right. Yeah, it feels like they're probably spiraling a little
out of control.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Were you ever a weekly world news reader?

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Oh yeah, with like the you know, the alien babies.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
I love all of that and all this is alive.
I remember there was like a a like a column
by woman named Dotty. Do you remember this, dear Dotty? Oh,
I kind of do you remember? It was an advice column.
She was just very rude, get it together. Yeah. It
was a lot of get it together, you idiot. That

(16:46):
very insulting. But I like when I look back at
weekly World News compared to the Inquirer, kind of a
nothing magazine.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
No, no, no, yeah, of course. I mean the Inquirer
is like real.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Right, it's all real news, real news, it's all verifiable information.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
I believe that it's the only thing I believe at
this point.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Does Inquier ever get into alien stuff?

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Oh yeah, there's a big thing about UFOs in them,
a lot like UFO sightings. The government's hiding, right, you know,
they're coming, They're here, you know, and all of it's true.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
What is your The other thing I'm curious about with
you is your television watching diet, Like, because you are
getting the very best of TV, you'll record it and
share it with people. And I'm just wondering, like, do
you have a schedule during the day when you'll watch
it or do you like record it and watch it later?

Speaker 3 (17:37):
No? No, I watch Inside Edition at seven o'clock Monday
through Friday. That's my main thing. Like when people like,
you know, they always like to ask me, what are
you watching? Are you watching.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
What? I don't even know?

Speaker 3 (17:54):
What's the wife? One like.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
That? One. We'll say successions off TV two years ago.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
I'm like now I watch inside a Dish and I
hate when people are like what Sometimes people don't even
know what it is.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
It's so good, I know, but I don't have Do
you have live TV? Do you still pay for see?
That's what I don't have that, so I wouldn't be
able to access a disease. Oh do I have?

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Like I start off with an antenna, okay, and then
I have like basic basic cable.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
See, this is the one thing separating you from other
college students. It's like having live TV.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
I know I have to have live TV because I
kind of that's kind of the only thing I really
wantat I only read tabloids and watch live television.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
I wonder if you could access inside edition through a
streaming service. What you must be able to I don't know.
I don't I don't understand you. I don't understand. But
you also, I feel like you watch local news? Oh,
I love local news. Do you have a favorite in La? No?

Speaker 3 (19:00):
I also have local commercials that you know, what car
shield is, carshield? What's these commercials that Vivica A. Fox says, Oh,
this sounds incredible. I don't even know what it is.
But she just has these wonderful monologues and she's like
funny in them, and she's serious and she's walking while
she's talking. I mean, I love a Vica Fox, but
like I'm obsessed with these. With the commercial, I don't

(19:21):
even know what it is.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Carshield is some sort of device or insurance, I don't don't,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
All I know is that Vivica Fox is one of
her best performances.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
She's doing a terrible job promoting the product. I have
no idea what it is.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah, because she's performing that you don't even She's such
a dynamic performer that you don't even care.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
You're so dazzled.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
I'm dazzled by the performance. I don't even care what
carshield is. There's so much information in it.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
I want to see. Do you mind if I look
at it up. Let's see if we can figure out
what car shield is. We better both get a car
shield out of this. Car shield auto protection, some sort
of insurance.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
She's auto protection protected from what just being stolen from
your car.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
That's probably one thing they wouldn't cover car. The saft
insurance is very confusing. I think. I feel like, Uh,
somebody I know had their car broken into and what
was stolen from the car was not covered.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
I when I first moved to Los Angeles, I got
the club. Oh my god, I did know how to
work that either star. I just would put it. I
just would put it like on top of the stirring world.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Just as a deterrent. Did it help? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (20:31):
I never got my car working.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
I feel like no one understood how the club worked.
So I'm sure a carthief wouldn't know either, and they thought, well,
maybe that'll stop me from driving away.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Well, I only go shopping with the things I see
in the Inquirer or on basic antenna television.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Have you bought it? Have you ever gotten one of
those plates from the Inquirer?

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Oh? Yeah, Like I have a Marilyn Monroe plates and
collect plates. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
An, I feel like there are a lot of princess
sty a lot of well.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
I was gifted Princess Diadia and the doll. I have
a Megan Markell all I was gifted. Uh, it's a
double box set of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
People like to give me dolls, right, right? Do you
have displayer store.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Well, I don't have a good display case. That's why
someone needs to give gift. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
know who had one with Sally's Struthers because I was
shares doll display cases.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
And yeah, I feel like you don't want them just
on a shelf.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
No, I need a display case in glass.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Do you ever buy them for yourself?

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Though?

Speaker 3 (21:36):
No, No, I did. When I was a child, I
bought or have my parents buy them for me. I
had a Lucy Ricardo porcelain doll and two Merrily Monroe dolls.
But now people give them to me. Why would I
buy them myself?

Speaker 1 (21:52):
That's a great question. Do you remember what the first
thing was that you bought? The first doll? I bought
first from inquirer, from a tabloid.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Oh, well, I remember I bought sea monkeys when I
was a child, of course, yeah, of course I was
so disappointed.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Did your I don't remember ever even being able to
see the sea monkeys.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
No, they just turned into like the little like tiny
little alga. My mom flushed them down the toilet because
I thought they were going to be my friends, because
I was the only child, and the pictures of them
they looked like a little family, and they wore crowns
on their heads, were smiling.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
They almost looked like a little like claymation or something.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Right, yeah, yeah, but they just they didn't turn into that.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
It's basically just like bacteria or something. Bacteria what I
feel like. I grew up near the Great Salt Lake.
I think it's the same thing that lives in the
salt like I can't remember. It's like a tiny shrimp
or something. I wonder what that's called. But yeah, that
was a scam product. I feel like anything that you
would order from a magazine that was supposed to be
alive either died immediately or just never existed in the

(22:52):
first place. Sea monkeys, I wonder if sea monkeys.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Still exists, shol bring that back.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
What was a sea monkey? Sea monkey? It was a brine.
That's right, you can eat it. You could eat children.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Dinner's ready, kids. Your sea monkeys are being air fried.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Do you have an air fryer? I sure do. What
do you cook your fry? Oh?

Speaker 3 (23:18):
I cook everything in my air fry. Unfortunately, I have
to unplug everything because when I use that knocks the
power out something the refrigerator. I have to un plug
the microwave.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Ask your neighbors to turn off there.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, well I will knock off one side of the
building the power gets not forget to unplug the refrigerator.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Where did you get your air fry? Is that bought
for you?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
It was was given to me by my father, and
I think he bought it from like Target or something.
But of course, like a typical head or a shuctual man,
he got me like a giant one. And if I
have like a family of seven to feed, and it's
too powerful for my apartment.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah, because you're just making things for like one meal,
my dolls and labos for a family of nights. But
they have little mouths, yeah, small stomachs. They just need
a bite.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yeah, they just need a brine. They just need to
feed them.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Monkey sea monkey does feel like a labooboo diet.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Well, it's probably like a wonderful way to like a
wonderful thing to feed them, of course, and they multiply
when you feed them sea monkeys.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Kind of a grimlin situation. Don't feed them sea.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Monkeys after midnight?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
After well, I feel like speaking of giving things to
people and things that you may or may not want. Uh, Look,
I was excited to have you here on the podcast.
I thought, people come by, we'll have a nice conversation,
we'll move on with our days. Everything will be fine.
So the podcast is called I said no gifts, So

(24:50):
I was a little surprised a little throne when you
walked into the studio holding what, from from where I'm sitting,
looks like a gift. Well, it is a gift.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
And I just believe in when you show but somebody's home,
that you give them something.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Oh but that's nice. That's a nice reason. Well, uh sure,
should I open it here on the podcast. It's in
this nice little black bag to reach you here there,
it feels like there are multiple things in here. She
pulled at least two things. She pulled them out one

(25:28):
at a time.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Oh wait, no, that that's a mistake. I'm sorry, By,
I'm sorry that that was a mistake.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
My I can't believe how much smaller it is.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Little By Labo is not supposed to be sorry about that.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
I have so many of them. They're just everywhere. They're
just everywhere, the sand from the beach. You.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yeah, but no, I can't give these away. There were gifts.
I have six of them. And I will always have six.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Well, you can pair those frint to the camera for
the viewer at home.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Here's a laboo boo and here's a ufo.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
They're significantly different.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Well, the bigger it's cheaper, it's it's better value, and
it's like more, it's kind of more interesting.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, it has more character.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
But look at the heck can turn?

Speaker 1 (26:20):
You have? The head can turn almost three six. I
can't turn the laffo. I will say it is probably
softer or the lab boo boo is probably softer, wouldn't
you say? Can I feel? Yeah, it's okay interesting? Wow,
they don't want this getting out? Who made thee? Who

(26:41):
is who's the billionaire genius behind the lafufu? Uh, it's bigger,
I would say, it's cutter.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
I'm gonna steal that. I want I want this now too.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
You caught the fever the wow, I had no idea.
They were so much smaller. It does look like sleeker
or something. It's almost like do you remember the Zoon,
the Microsoft Zoon that was like the competitor to the iPod.
It feels like this to me, like this is the

(27:14):
iPod and that's the zoom Zoom that's the zoon zoon. Well,
I'm sorry that. No, that's embarrassing for you and for me.
I'm sorry that I even thought it might be for me.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
I just can't I couldn't know.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
You have so many of them at this point, how
were you supposed to keep tracking them? Put that on
the and you've got it on your belt loop. Keep
an eye on it. Who knows what might happen during
in the studio. Okay, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yes, I got your magnifying glass. You can help me
find my my missing lebooba. I need more detectives.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
On the case. How many magnifying For people who aren't
familiar with you, You use a magnifying glass very well.
I feel like you know how to use a magnifying
glass and you get to the bottom of a lot
of things using your magnifine.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
I love misters in my life.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
How many of these do you own?

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Well, that's a small one. That's a portable one.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, this is I have.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Somebody gifted me one for my birthday. I have a
gold one, I have a black one.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
I have four, four of them. When did you get
your first one? This is a nice magnifying glass either way.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Well, You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
It's for you. It's it's better than Yeah, this is
better than.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
You know.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
What's also great about it is that sometimes when I like,
you know, when I go to a restaurant and I
can't read the menu if I don't have my glasses
with me, because sometimes I'm afraid to take my glasses out,
you know, to like for an evening at a restaurant,
lose them my magnifying glass with me. That's it's a
great idea. And also if anybody commits a crime, you

(28:47):
can look at the fingerpress and there's always a crime
and loss.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
In Hollywood constantly. You've put a victim.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
You could be a victim today. I'm wearing I'm wearing
you are a target.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Burbank, Tncut.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
I wonder what the last time a magnifying glass was
used to solve a crime.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
I've solved them. I'm the one that proved that justice
Smellert Gay bashed to himself.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
You went to Chicago.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
I went to Chicago with that magnifying glass.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
That's where it happened, right sure.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
In a polar vortex. So I'm their crimes are always
being solved, and I.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Solve them where is he now.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Oh he's engaged, Yeah, he's engaged, or it's just probably
another stunt.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
I wonder if he went through any sort of therapy
or anything after that.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Or is he walked around with an I think an
AA book he's oh, he's photographed with it. Make sure
he was photographed proposing in Europe A boyfriend has been
a lover beyond.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
That, not professionally photographed. It was like a paparazzi show allegedly, okay,
a hired paparazza. I'm sure he leaked it to that.
What was he doing prior to that? Was he on
a TV show?

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Because an empire?

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Oh? He was an empire? That's right. What a fall
he had? What an absolute fall? Has he been on
anything since he just destroyed his career?

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Yeah, I mean he's been on he's he's you know,
he lied, it's a skill.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
He did lie, and he didn't get away with it.
Did he go to jail or anything?

Speaker 3 (30:26):
He went to jail and he wasn't John. I mean
this he was. They put they brought him in, they
took him out. It was all kind of crazy enough.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Oh right right. It makes me so mad.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Because no one believed me, but I'm not going to
get into that.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Do you have any new updates? You obviously follow Luigi Mangiona.
What's the latest on him?

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Well, he's just waiting, you know, for his trial, just
sitting on that that prison in Brooklyn with puff Daddy.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
He did it is? Did he still in the jail.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah, they're in the same section of the jail hanging out.
But Luigi's you know, he's going to be having a
unfortunately one televised because it's federal.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Stupid. I know.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
If it's not an inside edition, I mean, how am
I going to know what's going on?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
That's your only news story?

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Yes, and the Inquirer. But there was recently a picture
of him released in prison where he's smiling. But I'm concerned.
It's not a.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Concerned about that. Well where did you see it? Was
it online or on inside edition?

Speaker 3 (31:24):
It wasn't on either of them. Oh, it's only online.
So that's why I don't know. Unless it's an inside
edition or in the Inquirer, I don't believe.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Right.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
If i'm more you know, I question it more right,
If it's on the actual you know, news, I don't
know if I believe it. If it's on the K
T l A. I don't know who knows where they
got exactly.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
It could be one of the anchors on chat GBT
just creating im.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Of course they are.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
What is I feel like you've been following Sherry Peppinie
as well.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
I loved, I love Have you want that? Speaking of kidnapping,
Oh my god, kidnapping. She she's a laboo, she's her
own laboobo.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
I wonder if your la boo boo has Peppini did.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
So she could like she could have very well done
that my for a ton show.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah, your labubuo could show up on the side of
the freeway in six months on Thanksgiving Day.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Well, I was accused of faking my labuobu being stolen.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
I sure was.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
I would never do such a thing for an.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Attention, Absolutely not. You cared about that lao.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
I did too care about that laboo. So I was
very offended by that. But like, I don't stage my
own mysteries, okay, my own crimes.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
No, you're interesting enough for them to happen to you.
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
But yeah, she's back again.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Kay.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
You know what, Remember when I faked my kidnapping and
I got caught and I said, you know what, I
faked it. That's not true. I did get kidnapped.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
She now claiming it was real.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Yeah, it was real, but not those two women that
kidnapped her. Now, I don't It's just she.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Was kidnapped by the guy. Maybe she was kidnapped by
her ex boyfriend. Ex boyfriend who like held up a
hockey stick and had she would run into it.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
He would hit hockey pucks into her. Oh, and then
she threw like a wrench up in the air and
lay it at her face. I mean, the commitment to this,
I mean, it's very admirable.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
It's incredible.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
It's incredible. I mean, that's why I like her. I
like Rachel Doloso. I like people that are committed to
their character. That's why I wasn't happy with Jessic Smlet,
because he didn't do a very good job of really proving,
like really making me believe that right kit he was
gay bashing himself.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Yeah, because of course these things cross our minds. I thought, well,
maybe I'll kidnap myself and be a fake of being
a captive for months at a time and then you
know all of this. But I don't do it. I
don't have the ghost the wherewithal the carry through right exactly,
And so when someone like Puppini does it, it's like
good for her, good for her.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
She'd like, you know, she was bored. She was bored
for boring, boring town, boring family.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Very vanilla husband. She was just what was she doing?
She was jogging and picking up the kids from school exactly.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
The husband was at work all the time.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, she needed to do something to spice it up.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Yeah, I'm gonna kidnap myself.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Did you watch the new documentary about her?

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Yes, I'm the id.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
I haven't finished that one. How do you feel about
his sister?

Speaker 3 (34:24):
I feel like that the sister that said that she
she knew that she was crazy. Yes, well I believe
that she's crazy.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Wait, the sister who shows up in a turban. Oh
do you know who's on Sherry's side? Oh?

Speaker 3 (34:39):
I like her because she's right. She's right.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Because she's on the side. And she obviously went to
a lot of work to like do some set deck
on her home and really had a costume picked out.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
Well, she's committed to her character too. Yeah, I'm the
only one that's the boy is the brother and husband.
Everyone's everyone that is so bored by him that they
become other people. They kidnap themselves, they wear costumes.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
They betray their family exactly. Yeah, she's fully on Sherry's side,
And but in what way? I can't. I don't think
I finished it, but I feel like she She says
that Sherry just had to do it, and I agree.
We all agree. Sheerry's back was against.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
The wall, her back was against watch. She had to
kidnap herself. I love how she left like the iPods
behind the iPod wire.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
I mean it was really detailed.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yes, I feel like she didn't go she should have
done a little more research in that because I feel
like the detectives were starting to pick up on certain things.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Well, the fact that she really got her cat was
when she described the room that she was kidnapping. Was
the actual room that she was kidnapping.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
She should have created a different room, create a different room.
Get creative, creative, use your imagination.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
That's the problem in the young with hers. These people
aren't creative.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Enough, right, Yeah, it's a lack of imagination, the lack
of imagination. Did the ex boyfriend go to jail? I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
I think he might not have because he he routed
her out, so I think help him.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
And she kind of didn't go to jail for a
long time, not long enough. You're on her side, but
you also feel like she should have gone to prison
for probably a decade. Well, she's kind of the great
fraud of our time.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
I would say, oh, yeah, well it's her, it's Rachel. Yes,
it's my lad. Those are like the three.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Yeah, where where's Rachel? Now? She's still black? Black? She
never wasn't black. She's always so black. She does her
oh wow. And I feel like a lot of people
are probably still on her side. I am.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Her. I never had a problem with her.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Was there ever a point when we were looking at
her like, was there a point when the whole public
didn't know? Or was like the she became famous because
she had been lying.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
She became famous because she had been because she got
caught on camera.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
What was she doing?

Speaker 3 (37:03):
They were interviewing, They put it on camera. They were
interviewing about something, and she was the head of the
the NAACP and spoke in Washington, Okay, And they asked
her something about her her real father was, and she
just sort of ran Off.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Do you have a favorite National Inquiry story of all time?

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Oh, that's so difficult. I like the one about this
this woman was going for she was on a raft
and like, yeah, she's like kind of wrapped like the
riverboat rafting or like you know, like laying in a
rat in a like a lazy river, like in the nature.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
And she was.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Attacked by otters a crazy odor and the picture of
the otter looks like it's laughing in the in the
but kept just biting her butt, and so it wrote up.
It wrote it in the in the story, and she
just kept biting her butt, and they shared the picture
of the otter and it looks like it's laughing. That's
one of my favorite ones.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Was she like mauled by the by a laughing honor,
which is unrecognizable. That's another term you see a lot.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
She was unrecognizably. Yeah, she was unrecognizable. Yeah, I love
that story.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
When was that?

Speaker 3 (38:14):
This sounds like maybe two years ago.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Okay, just attack by honors. They are mean, Yeah, I've
heard that they're vicious. I guess they're very cute. They're deceptive.
There's they're like they're unlike a like a possum, which
are so terrifying and not dangerous.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Right, But but I thought, I think they're cute.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
You think possums are cute. I think pasthems are cute.
I'm like, they're growing on me. For a long time,
I was absolutely terrified. But now that I've learned that
they're almost defenseless.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
I have one here.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
I'm gonna give you two. That's everything in the bag.
You're also surrounded by posse.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
There was another story I liked that was this woman
the police found a pet rock cune in a woman's
car is smoking out of a crack pipe. That's another
one I like. I like there's always stories about Florida
where crocodiles are knocking on people's.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Doors or ringing the ring the bell ring.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
Like we'll ring the doorbell, honey, Florida, Florida.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Are they getting up to the bell.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
They climb up the wall. There's bunches of them climbing
up the wall.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Oh my god, I think I like it terrifying to
make that's absolutely horrifying. Do you know what scares me
about them is the biting is terrifying, But the thing
they do to you beforehand, where they thrash you about
in I think that's way scarier than being nipped or.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
I understand how people can live around like like you
could just there could be one in your pool, Like
they live in an environment where there's crocodiles, allegies everywhere.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
I couldn't right where they're just they're like coyotes are here.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
No, but coyote is fine, but not crocodiles.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
That's what I'm saying. Like in l A, all we
have to worry about is like a coyote that'll run
off or someone will right, But in Florida, you step
out of your car, it could be underneath there.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
That's why I have relatives in Florida, and I'll never
see them ever again.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Do you get along with them?

Speaker 3 (40:11):
I don't know, because I don't care they're in Florida.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Yeah, I don't. I just can't imagine terrifying. I think
the most dangerous thing here is probably a mountain lion,
but no one really ever sees those.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
Well, somebody I met recently asked if I wanted to
go on a gay height gay height gay with a
bunch of how much oh god, hike, you know, like
up like by beache, like Griforth the park at night,
and I was like, that sounds like a horrible idea,

(40:44):
Like you set yourself up for being.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
Attacked by a mountain lion or a bobcat rather at night. Yeah,
of course that's when they're out. Yeah, I've got a
night hikes up there, and this is just clicking for me. No,
you can't do that during the pandemic when it was
even emptier.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
No, you can't do that.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
No, they're out there, they're out there.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
I mean one time I was up there by myself.
I was like, what the hell am I doing up here?
Like if I see a mountain lion? Well, I just
saw a story on inside the edition where a woman
was on hiking up the California Hills and s into
a mountain lion recognition. She got to go away by
saying no, no, that's all you have to know, and
it ran away. My cat understands no too. So I

(41:26):
think there's something about no and cats, because I'll go
I'll shake my finger up my cat and go no, no,
and she understand.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
That's all it needs. Interesting.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
I mean, I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
I don't understand. Now there's no stopping. He stopping just
relentless here I come.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Yeah, the alligators are scary, mountain lines are terrifying. Snakes
are scary. My mom just got bitten by a snake.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Really in Utah is like a poisonous Yeah, she copp
her head.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
It may have been a copper. Who knows. She was
bit and it swoll swollen up? Is that swells swelled?
It swells swoll up, swoll up. It swelled. I mean
her arm like doubled inside them. We thought it was
a spider, but then we saw two snake bites. Terrifying.
I didn't even see the snake, so was that quick?

(42:19):
It can happen instantly, Absolutely terrifying. Have you ever had
a run in with nature?

Speaker 3 (42:26):
I'm scared I run in with nature. Probably. Well, I've seen.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Coyotes, okay, just out in the street.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Well like, yeah, it was so I was gonna geut
of the car once and I saw a bunch of
them and I went back in the house. I feelt
like there was I have i'm as run in with nature,
but I don't really remember them other than coyotes.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Right, I went camping. I think I'm sure have shoved
this story on this podcast before, but years ago, I
went camping in the Utah Mountains and there were all
these mountain lion attacks in the news. And we were
in the tent and something started pushing up against the
tent as we're trying to go to sleep. Just kept
pushing and pushing and pushing, and we were just like, I,
you know, I just thought, Oh, this is the end
of my life. How do you get out of this?

(43:07):
But we finally left and we went to sleep, and
I woke up the next day and there was just
one small raccoon paw on the side of the door. Yeah,
very cute. It was just coming up and kind of
tapping the tent.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
But they're unhands hip.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Oh they're extremely dangerous.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
But you can get rabies from them. And you could
also say, like they have like those nails, like they're
like razors.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Oh yeah, of course they can do all kinds of things.
I learned recently, and I don't know if this is
true or not, that a rabbit you don't have to
be afraid of a rabbit squirrel because apparently if they
get rabies, they die pretty quickly. Their small body can't
take the rabies.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
That's good to know because I have a squirrel around
my apartment. A lot of squirrels, No one, this one
that just sort of hangs out around.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Oh, that's very sweet. I'm sure it's fine.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna I'm not going to
even test it out by trying to feed it.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Like I have friends who feed this squirrel.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
No, No, I don't test them.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
They have them come right up to them, they feed
them out of their hands.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
No, that's what's there's a reason why that. There's a
terminology that says squirrely.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
I'm terrified of rats. And I've been watching Little House
on the Prairie and last night I watched the plague episode.
And have you ever seen the show. You've got it.
You should watch it because it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
I'll watch the plague.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
The plague episode is one of the darkest episodes of
TV I've ever seen. And there's a scene where the
rats are giving everyone the plague typhus or something, and
towards the end of the episode, they have to figure
out what's going on, and so they break into the
grain barn and they must have hired fifty rats to
be in the scene, just crawling everywhere. It is disgusting.

(44:39):
There's also an episode where there's a raccoon. There's a
little girl holding a raccoon right up to her face.
I can't.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
You have to see the show. It's worth I love
holding rats. It is so adorable. I remember when people
would have guinea pigs growing up. I thought there was some.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
I'm not a good I think they sa they don't.
They're not cute.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
I don't know I had. I never had, Like did
you have pants? I had cat, a dog, and ducks.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
No ducks. We had ducks.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
I had two ducks that were gifted to me by
my grandmother for Easter. But we couldn't keep them very long.
They got big.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Oh interesting hours just died still ducklings. I don't know
what happened them. Eat the ducklings. Do they serve duckling
as food? Oh? That would be a tough probably.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
The French probably.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Everything They love duck Are they still serving horse in France?

Speaker 3 (45:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Would be so sad awful. But you had to give
you your ducks away.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
We put them on the farm.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Okay, yeah. We lived kind of in a country ish area,
so the ducklings were just out and about and I
guess they died or something terrible, terrible, absolutely terrible. They
were very cute. They probably took them. Where does she
live now?

Speaker 3 (45:56):
She lives somewhere in upstate northern California.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
She's she's just not allowed to be by her children anymore,
is she well?

Speaker 3 (46:03):
Her children? Like, yeah, she's not allowed to have any visitation.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
She does.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
I think she is allowed to visitation her daughter son.
I don't remember, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Because towards the end of the first documentary he was
saying that she was like poisoning them or something, or.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Like Munchausen by proxy. Yeah, she has that too.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
We support her in that journey.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
I love that that phrase, Munchausen by proxy. Who haven't
made that up?

Speaker 1 (46:34):
I love.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
Munchausen by proxy?

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Who was the first? I must have been Munchausen.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Child, said miss, miss Munchausen, I, Miss Munchausen.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
I have a question.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
Yes, proxy, that's the teacher poisoned the student, and.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
That's Munchausen by proxy. Sounds like a signature scent.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
Oh by Calvin Klein. Munchausen by proxy.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
I'm wearing Munchausen by proxy.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
Do you like my my fragrance perfume? Munchausen by proxy?

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Uh, well, is there anything I have to say about
a magnifying glass?

Speaker 3 (47:15):
You know, just use it to you know, solve the
crimes in your life or other crimes in people's lives,
or you know, maybe help me find my green la boobuo.
I mean, I'm kind of over it now because I
spoiled with them, but I could turn up.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
I have them so lucky. I'm like the luckiest girl
this summer. We're just very girl.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
And be a girl of the moment with my six boos.
If I want to tak a were all around my ways,
but I don't want to intimidate people.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
I don't want people to feel bad that they're not
as cool as.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Do you think you'll ever buy your own? No, I
think people should keep sending them to you. I agree
they should reach out to you.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
Well, there's time that there's a black one, oh, a
rare one that's worth money?

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Is it truly? Does it exist?

Speaker 3 (48:10):
Or Rachel dollars that probably has it?

Speaker 1 (48:14):
But it's green. It's great. Well, I think we should
play a game, but first I need to number between
one and ten from you seven. Okay, I have to
do some light calculating to get our game pieces. So
right now, you can recommend, promote, do whatever you want.
I'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Okay, Well, you could watch me on Instagram live every
other mind at seven pm Hollywood time, where I will
read the tablets and give you all the Hollywood dish
and catch me on Off Broadway play this fall in
New York City called Messy White Gays, written by Drew Droghi,

(48:52):
also co starring Drew Drogi and me and some other
wonderful actors in including Aaron Jackson.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Oh my god, that sounds so great, Drew former guests
and that show is so good. People should go see
that and follow, I mean truly, unfollow everyone else on
Instagram and just follow Pete.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
I agree, Semula Boo booz and b and dolls more dolls.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
What a great cast for Messy White Gays. That's so exciting. Okay,
everyone find Pete wherever this is. We're gonna play a
game called Gift or a Curse. I'm going to name
three things. You'll tell me if there are a gift
or a curse and why, and then I'll tell you
if you're right or wrong, because there are correct answers. Okay,
is that perfectly clear perfectly, you can lose, you don't
want to lose. Okay. This first one is from a

(49:44):
listener named Peter Gay. I didn't even realize I did this,
randomne this came from you? Maybe it did.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
I won't remember you did.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
In a fugue stage, you're emailing enough, fus.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
I email myself things all the time. I'm like, who's that?

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Do you know? What I hate is when I email
myself and then get excited that I got an email? Okay,
gift to a curse. Celebrating others on social media e g. Birthdays,
Mother's Day, et cetera. Using photos from your own wedding curse.
Why well I'm not married, okay, but other people?

Speaker 3 (50:23):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, it's a curse, is there?
First of all, you're making it all about you showing
pictures of your own wedding. Am I getting this right?

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Give your defense and I'll let you know if you
got it right? Okay?

Speaker 3 (50:36):
But they're like, yeah, I just say happy birthday. Don't
have to have other pictures and things involved.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Wrong, that's a gift, beeed. This is for almost for exactly.
Why why else celebrate other people if it doesn't involve you. Well,
that's true. You've got all these lovely pictures of yourself
and your mom. You don't want to just post a
picture of her. That's boring for the rest of the internet.
You need you in it.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Well, that is true. You're right and I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
You're wrong in this situation. But maybe you're learning. I'm learning,
you're learning. Okay. Number two. This is from a listener
named Sarah Gift a curse celebrities discussing their celebrity friends
on podcasts using only their last names. For example, Clooney
and I were at brunch the other day and.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Curse, why Clooney. I mean, if they're your friend, just
call them your first the first name. I don't like
when people call other people by their last name.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
I don't like it just in general. Yeah, it's very
uh going to the gym or like gym class. I don't.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
Yeah, it's like like the gym teacher yelling at you wrong.
I guess I'm wrong because I'm horrible at this game.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Pete, that's a gift. I love celebrities. I'm part of
the club. I'm part of the gang. I'm in gym
class with whoever's friends with Clooney and we're having a
great time. We're talking about Clooney's pranks. We're talking about
Clooney's tequila. Uh. And it's so casual and fun.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Well, I know you're talking about George Clue, not Rosemary Clooney.
It's not very specific.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
You make a really good voind. Okay, Well you've gotten
zero right so far, and that's fine. Number three This
is from a listener named Rick. Gif to a curse
when your uber driver plays a phone game while driving. Oh,
it's a gift.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
I like playing like helps me, like, you know, past
the time. I like playing like. You're talking about those
games that are in the back of the car. Back
in the back of the car.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
See. No, this is when the driver themselves is playing
a game.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
Oh no, I don't want them to play a game.
They didn't attention to the road. It's a curse. I
thought you might have. Sometimes they have the trivia games
behind their cars.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
Oh yeah, of course, and I can play it.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Yeah, but not still playing it. No, No, No, that's
that's a curse. I meant. I can't even get into this.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
No, it's a curve. You lost the game.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
What happened?

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Now, that's a gift. I'm glad that they're entertaining themselves.
They're bored at work. Oh wow, I want them to
be as happy as I am. And you know they've
got a full, rich life. They're they're driving, they're listening
to music, they're playing a game, change rights.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
They should turn off. They should have no music play,
keep their mouth and their eyes closed, and drive the car.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Ten and ten and two, driving.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
On the like they're in that race car movie.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Did you see that movie? No? I don't.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
I don't care either that movie. But I don't think
anyone said that I.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Made a lot of money, but it did. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
Once here there's a race car movie. Who's going to
see them?

Speaker 3 (53:49):
The race car drivers?

Speaker 1 (53:51):
See? That's I think the most boring idea for a
movie to me. Yeah, I mean I don't.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
I don't even want to watch that on television.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
Why're Oh my god? They life fart is boring? Yeah, No,
I don't need a fictionalized version.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
I really think that's a real like a real thing.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Driving a car.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
No, I didn't drive a car here or I had
a left I have a car too. Wow, how many
times I go towards my car. I'm like, I don't
want to do this and this call left?

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Do you not like driving?

Speaker 3 (54:19):
I hate track?

Speaker 1 (54:20):
Do you like listening to music?

Speaker 3 (54:21):
I like listening to music, and but sometimes I'll drive
my car and I won't really go anywhere. I just
drive around listen to music, and then if I have
to go somewhere, I'll call left.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
Well that's very healthy, thank you. I think that's a great. Yeah,
because I don't like driving, but I love listening to music.
So maybe I just need to start driving around the
block or something, or you.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Just get headphones and walk out the door.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
That's true. But there's something nice about driving and blasting music.
And blasting music, I agree, it feels great. I just
feel good. What sort of music are you're listening to?

Speaker 3 (54:52):
Well, I listened to a lot of like nineties.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
R and B oh fantastic. That's good music to blast
a loud Yeah, yeah, very good. Okay, Well, now Analis
is going to do gifter curse. They have one suggestion
that we both have to speak to and then they'll
tell us if we're right or wrong. Okay, at least,
what's the gift of a curse?

Speaker 4 (55:08):
Gift a curse pet strollers.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
Oh it's a giff.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Why so sweet to see there's a little there's little
pets in that little baby carriage. I'm happy. Like sometimes
the baby cariach is coming towards me, I'm like, oh,
another another child in the world. And then I say, oh, no,
it's it's it's a little puppy. It's a little kid,
and it's so cute. I think they're cuterer than babies,

(55:35):
so I think it's a caff I agree.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
I think it's a gift. I love to see one.
I love in catalogs when they have a little like
poodle and sitting in a carriage. I think it's very cute.
And again, what a great point. I'm always disappointed when
it's a baby. I have no interest in seeing a baby.
But they all look alike, they look identical to each other.
But pets, little little pets look different. Oh they're all different.

(55:58):
And it's a special little ride for them. You know
how excited they are.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
Did you ever see one that has a little little
carriage and then side there's a raccoon smoke and a
crack pipe.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
The cutest possible thing you could have made? It so sweet?
A rodent with a drug problem and a baby carriage
its own little instrument.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
Paraphernal.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Yeah, it's a gift, an absolute gift. How could that
possibly be a curse?

Speaker 4 (56:27):
Of course it's a gift. There's no other possible answer.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Of course.

Speaker 4 (56:30):
It's such a lovely surprise.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
So sweet. Anyone who doesn't like that can just sign off,
blast off. Do you know what My boyfriend was just saying,
he thinks that they invited Oprah on the ship, and
she said, no, take Gail. Do you think that's true?

Speaker 3 (56:48):
One hundred percent believe that's true. One hundred percent believe
that's true. And I also believe that Stegman is. I
was like, do it, Gail, you're so annoying. We got
to get rid of you.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
He bullied her and into it. You shoved her in
there because she didn't want to go. She looked bullied, She.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Looked bullied, she was terrified the whole time. I was like,
he's making girl go. And then that's why I took
out my magnifying glass and I solved it. Steedman. Steedman
made girl go up in space.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Blast Do you think there was a fight. Do you
think they got in a fight like Oprah was arguing
with her, you have to do this.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
There's fighting with oh, that's right, she had to do it.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Yeah, it's just like an icy demand.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
She's like, I'm not going, but you are last off.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
Next thing, the next thing.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Girls don't know how to put on a seat belt.
That's that was the biggest training lesson that they did
for that. They're like, well, I learned how to pay
in a seat belt. Have you been to space?

Speaker 1 (57:47):
But you think the other two wanted to go Katie
and Lauren.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
Well, Kenny was up in Space looking for some new
fans because she's desperate. She's out, she's out of fans.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
She almost got bounced off her butterfly. Did I saw that?

Speaker 3 (57:59):
Yeah, shows up in the air at her at her
concert and riding a butterfly. First of all, there's too
many of these celebrities up in the air riding around
in things.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
They all want to be pink. They want to be pink.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
Beyonce was on a flying car and the must collaps
It almost tipped over. And then Katy Perry is the
most you know about like a skew.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Yes, they must be strapped in.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
There's jop dead but it's like it's a thing now Ever,
since Pink flew around, they think that everyone can fly.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
But Pink is really doing it. I've never seen her live,
but people like, even people who don't like Pink or like,
you've got to see that lady.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean I've seen clips on YouTube
run inside Edition, but I've first seen it live.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
I would love to see Pink fly through the air. Yeah,
she should do a music less event where she just
flies through the air. I don't even care if the
music's plus.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
She will she will.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Is that a pretty recent addition to her shows?

Speaker 3 (58:54):
I guess maybe in the last five or six years.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Do you think there was a moment when she's just like,
we've got to do something. Well, she was a geminast,
oh before being Pink.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Before being Pink, she was a geminast. She had it
inside of her.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Oh she has a whole life, whole life before being Pink. Wow,
good for her. And now she's been copied, she probably
feels pretty good.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
She should see them all, have them all go to jail,
se sue them in the jail. We can't get Jesse
smile and jail. Let's get everybody else that flies in
the air into jail. I got to get people in
the jail.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
If there's one person you could put in celebrities, celebrities, yes,
what what's the number one celebrity would put in jail.
It's very difficult. You have to name one celebrity that
has to go to jail.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
Well, I have had such a long list. I can't
even think of Hard Gosh, Darnutt, oh, Tom Brady.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
For the commercials, just just like just put them away
for a minute, because you know what, like we had
I thought we would see him for a while after
he retired from football. But then he's like talking, he's
on I guess he's.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Doing those horrible car rental commercials. It's not Carshield, it's
not Carshield. No, he's doing some sort of car rental
thing and trying to be funny.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
Well, he was at that wedding too that everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
Went to, Oh of course, did he have a date?

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
Not things, So they said he was flirting with Sweeney.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Sydney Swing Sidney, she was there. Exactly what was this guest?
I discussed?

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
This was like they closed they closed their eyes and
through a dart on a celebrity.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
Board had a kid's choice.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Yeah, exactly whoever they had gotten by it. And then
these ding dogs went, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
Oh I had no idea. Well, if she that would
be a huge character flaw. If she ends up dating
Tom Brady, I mean, well, send them both to Chase,
send them to jail. That should be a new email
this podcast. Who should go to jail? Okay, this is
the final segment of the podcast. People are writing into

(01:01:07):
I said no gifts at gmail dot com. They're sending
voice notes they have to be sixty seconds long, recorded
in a quiet place, or emails. We help me answer
our listener question. Okay, this is hybridger and guest. Before
I sound like a narcissistic monster, let me explain. I'm

(01:01:27):
a woman in my mid thirties and a long term,
committed relationship with another woman in her third mid thirties. Yeah, well,
unfortunately we just have to delete the email and shut
down the show. Okay. The problem is she hates choosing
gifts and always will buy whatever I ask for. For example,
for our most recent anniversary, she asked for gift ideas,
so I sent her an email with a bunch of links,

(01:01:49):
and she got me every single thing. She's so generous
and sweet, but she started asking me what I want
for my birthday. I want to give her options that
aren't crazy expensive, but I also don't want to lowball
myself either. Example of gifts I've received kitchen gadgets, designer bags,
slash wallets, earrings, perfume, fancy makeup. I think it's obvious

(01:02:10):
why I'm starting to feel guilty. Okay, whatever I've tried saying,
anything from you will be precious to me. But she's
never satisfied until I send her some ideas. Help me.
You're my only hope. And that's from Nicole. So Nicole
has no she's hopeless. First of all, she's been taking
advantage of her partner. She's in this relationship where she's
just kind of uh draining this other woman financially. She's

(01:02:35):
bragging and she's a huge braggerg and she's putting herself
in the spotlight constantly. And now she's asking for advice.
What do you do with someone like this? Ask her
for a La booboo, ask her for a black labooba.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
Ask her for a black labooba.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
If she can't get you that reship, start packing now.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
Packing up, pack up, pack up everything, she gave you,
which well probably took a while. Yeah, trucks, that's everything
that she needs.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
She probably owns the home.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
I need some kitchen gadget. I need a fire that
