Speaker 1 (00:08):
Well, I invited you here. I thought I made myself
perfectly clear. But you're a guest to my home. You
gotta come to me empty, And I said, no, guest,
your presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff,

(00:35):
So how did you dare.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
To surbey me?

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Bridger Wine girl.
We are in the backyard. It's eerily quiet, I think,
because it's a Saturday in the children aren't at school,
and the dump truck isn't driving by. By the time
you're hearing this, it'll be I think January ish, which
is historically kind of a bad time for me emotionally,

(01:13):
as the rains come to Los Angeles and threatened to
flood my home. So God only knows where I'll be
mentally once you're actually hearing this. But right now I'm
on top of the world. I've never I'm thriving, never
felt better outside of I still haven't figured out how
I'm going to use my buy one, get one free
salad coupon I have Until I have two more weeks,

(01:35):
I'll figure that out. Is there anything else I need?
All of this was necessary. Everything I've said so far
was necessary. For me to say, and I don't know
that there's anything, but I do have the mic and
I can do whatever I want. I think that's it
for my intro today. I do have the mic, and
I'm kind of just dragging you through it. I don't

(01:57):
know why I think we should get into the podcast.
I adore today's guest. I think she's so funny. It's
Hannah Pilkus. Hannah, Hello, welcome to I said, no gifts.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Look at this crisp day we're having.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
It's so it's unseasonably warm.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
It really is, and you know that's concerning. It is
concerning selfishly, I'm enjoying this on this on this ripe Saturday.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
It's a fall kind of has come to Los Angeles
despite it being mid December.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
If you drive about an hour north, there's like a
two mile radius of red leaves, the pumpkin patch. Oh
so to see this little trumpy there, so maybe avoid it,
but pretty leaves.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
If you get five minutes outside of Los Angeles, it
gets trumpy.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
It's true.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Don't realize that about California. There's not a wasteland.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
It's a big state.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah, so some might say a country within a country.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yes, absolutely think about Just sit quietly and consider that first.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
To ruminate on that for ten to twenty minutes. No,
that's it's such a nice day.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
We can't.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
We can't.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
I once was outside of an Albertson's and got on occasion,
I'm outside in Albertson's wandering the parking latch. That's kind
of a lifestyle I lead. But someone approached me with
a clipboard and I usually say no to these people,
and somehow they convinced me to sign it. And then
I learned that they were trying to it was a

(03:22):
petition to break California into two states. That's one of
the worst people you can run into.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I didn't know that there were people outside with clipboards
doing bad thing. Yeah, I thought it was exclusively like
Habitat for Humanity or and you.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Know what I do, that's wicked.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I recently saw it plug we hold your nail, let's
hold face for that? Is that I fake that I'm
going through a breakup. As I passed by this, I
know so. And they're not going to approach if you're
because it's not that I don't want to donate, but
I will do that on my own time costed on Colorado.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Do you know what the worst for me is when
I just I try to be polite, I just say no,
thank you, and then they get mad at me and
they act like it's just like, don't make me get
into an altercation with you. We all know that what
you're doing is God bless you. But what you're doing
is annoying. You know that you're being annoying, right, And
I'm just being polite to trying to get away from you.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
And you know, but like historically anger or guilting someone,
I'm like a lot of us have escaped our oppressed
pass to not be confronted with that. So I think
it just hits a core something.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Oh, it feels very bad.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
But you succumbed for the bad cause.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Well, they must have been holding a gun or something.
I don't know how that happens.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
I've heard that that's their new tactic.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
It's just a gun point right to your head, all right,
I'm sure, oh man, And I don't know how I
discovered that.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
The whole thing I have that unfolded. I must have
been right.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Did you get an email saying thank you so much?
We're currently underway sawing California in half. It's all thanks
to your twenty five dollars donation. You pushed us over
the limit. Yeah exactly.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
It's a telethon and you were the final.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Oh man, yeah that was uh so, I'll never do
it again. Sure, they kind of ruined me for signing things.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I feel you there.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, I'm sorry to hear about your dog this morning.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh yeah, my dog is he's he's his name's Nathaniel,
very stoics. I know it's I guess crisp is the
word today. He's just a very serious dog. Considering that
he is too, I would say funny parents, But he's
never smiled. He's never He looks for loose trash on
this on the ground and he and he confronted some glass,

(05:42):
oh the rest, and ended up in his paw, his paw.
That's terrible, I know. So we tweezed it out and
and it's so hard with dogs. My friend took her
dog to the vet yesterday and I'm like, just I'm
throwing money at it. I'm like, save him, save him,
whatever it takes. It's kind of like getting your car fixed.
I don't mean to reduce to but it's like a language.
You're not familiar with.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
And they're like, I can get you to do anything right.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
They're like, we need to fix the sneezel hopper and
you're like, here's two grand I kill them right. I
don't want here, Yeah, I don't want my sneezel hopper broken.
So but but it was like, can we handle this
and not take him to the vet where they're like, all,
he's here, let's do an MRI. You know, of course,
what kind of dog is he? He's like a little

(06:25):
bit of Jack Russell, a little bit of Chihuahua, a
little bit of Gnome.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
He kind of looks like a house elf combination.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
You know.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
I love the ears of their own personality.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Sometimes they're up and he could take flight, and sometimes
they're down and he's sulking, and.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
It's really cute. A dog name with dignity. I think
that some people, when we're giving them a funny name.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Everyone's lost their dignity. They just naming dogs.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
What did I My friend is fostering two dogs named
Voodoo and Abra Cadabra, and you know, some foul play
was happening there.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
I don't trust whoever named their dogs.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
What are you?

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Ab You're yelling that at the dog.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Woodoo almost works. Sure, it's just you're not saying abracadabra
every time. I guess maybe you've shorten.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
It to abby.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Oh that's cute, but then just name it abby.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Then just name it. And because so Nathaniel Nate Nate,
that's a that's a great name for when he's in trouble, Nathan.
You'll boys Nate Nate when he's been good boy.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
How did he handle the glasping pulled from his paw?

Speaker 2 (07:28):
He's so interesting because his nails have gotten have you
seen the witches? Oh?

Speaker 4 (07:32):
His nails so long and.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Coiled, because try as we might, we can't cut them.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Did we pring them to modern? Bet they can't cut them?

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Right? He turns into I mean, and that's where he's
a little house elf. I imagine if a house elf,
you're on me, and that is that I'm human cottage core.
But he will he'll defend his nails till the ends
of time and you'll see the teeth come out. But
with the nail with the glass. He's actually quite mild manner.

(08:02):
It's amazing. I guess he knew it was an emergency yeah,
he wanted it out. Yes, get this out of me now. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Do you call that when you have something in your hand?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
A splinter or a sliver?

Speaker 4 (08:12):
I have never heard slipper.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
This is crazy to me.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
That's like remote. I call it a swapper.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
What's a swamper a remote? It's my dad.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
My dad's Dutch, and he's like, passle swapper a remote?
Like what is that troll?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yes, a swamper, but nothing further from what that is.
It's a lander at least it's certainly not in a
swamp a swamper.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
There's something wet or mushy about it, exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's very hard, heavy, there's no weird viscosity to it.
Swamper swamper? Okay, but sliver more on that. Wow, so
this is interesting. Yeah, I've always called old dog. It's
really disrespecting your dog you've just left in the car.
This is kind of yours.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Like, actually, there's more glass.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Get me away from the stock owner.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
I want to go to get my mri.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
After all, if you even cared a little, you would
have spent four grand on me. Yeah, sliver.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
I grew up in Utah and my family always called
them slippers. Slip, and then I've yet, you know, like
I've had them in my hands since been in a
relationship with my boyfriend, and he makes fun of me
every time I say sliver.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
He's a splinter, you say, like, did you I have
a sliver? I have a sliver, But that would make
me think cake.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
I'm a sliver of something.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
But when I think of it, when I say a
sliver of cake, I imagine, well, it's a tiny thing,
like it gets in your hand. I'd love to get
a little piece of cake in my hand.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
You raise a really good point.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
I've kind of solved this issue.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Splinter. Actually what the fanatics? Yeah, what's going on there?

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Splint?

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Splint?

Speaker 3 (09:41):
I think right, we're thinking it helps.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
I think teeny, you're carrying a bindle and your hand,
your arms in one of those right off.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Or it's like on your there's a big piece of
wood holding your legs together.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
We've gone so far back in time, no modern innovation.
In the back of a wagon exactly in a cond
of stoke a wagon splinter.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Okay, you know what, it should just.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Be sliver now, it should be sliver, Onalisa, have you
ever heard sliver?

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Never in my life, my family.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
So this is starts where I start to know that
there were some dark things happening in my family.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
Because Sliver does sound like the name of a horror film.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
I does Sliver. You've got like the substance, and the
sequel is Slivers. Sliver slie a little, but it keeps expanding.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
The thing about splinter body horror.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
The thing about slippers is there actually are. There's nothing
more horrific than like a splinter or a sliver that
just won't give It won't go away because you're like, oh, no,
where do we go? From?

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Where do we go?

Speaker 2 (10:39):
It's kind of like a popcorn kernel that's just hanging
on for dear life and then you yell loud enough
one day and like it finally releases its clutches. Yeah,
but it is Those are just such painful things. Yes,
I just have.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
To say that Sliver is actually an erotic thriller from
nineteen ninety three starring Sharon Stone, Billy Baldwin and Tom
Bear Insure.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
So you know it's erotic of Sharon Stone's in it
and sas and she's got a sliver and then listen, that's.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
Also an innuendo.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Oh of course that's and I didn't want to bring
it up because you'd said my family. But the first
thing I thought was, well, okay, that's just the mission
sensor this part of the pod.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
That's neither here nor there.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
That's the first thing we censor on this podcast is
the word slip.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Everyone calls in. I was so on board until the
Sliver part.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
I am discussed.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
I listen to this with my family and my stoic dog.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Wow, I wonder could you give us a synopsis of
what happens in Sliver. I'm little very curious. What does
Sharon get up to in Sliver?

Speaker 5 (11:42):
I'm going to read the first paragraph of the plot?

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Okay, right.

Speaker 5 (11:46):
Carly Norris, a beautiful book editor in deborce in her
mid thirties, moves into the exclusive New York City Sliver building,
but she creates other tenants, including Zeke, video game designer,
Jack a novelist, Vita, a fashion model who moonlights as
a call girl, and Gus, a professor of videography at

(12:06):
New York University. They tell Carley that she bears a
striking resemblance to Naomi Singer, the previous tenant of her
apartment who fell to her death.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
From her balcony.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Oh, there's so many opportunities for erotic foul play.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
Oh one dred percent. Did we think Sliver was gonna be?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
I thought it was going to come into play in
a different way than the name of the apartments. If
I saw they're called the Sliver apartments, I'm looking ass
that's not true New York real estate. I'll move into
the like the slip gutter because they've got yeah, the slipper.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
That's you know, that is the last thing I would
have guessed as far as slivers go. But maybe slippers
also come into play elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
In the movie.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Sure, maybe there's a real sliverness to her apartment.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
Sliverness if you will.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
What year was that?

Speaker 4 (12:50):
It kind of sounds like ghosts.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
It feels like a lot of movies in that time
were very supernatural, sexy.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Supernatural of course, and we're kind of coming back to
these sort of things. It's ben a fit like in
the last year, very sexy movie time.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
God is it?

Speaker 2 (13:03):
And it's very sexy old I say, older women in
what are these called?

Speaker 4 (13:08):
You?

Speaker 3 (13:09):
You've said publicly that anyone over twenty is an older woman.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Even though I'm so and censor that out because we
actually don't need that. In this pod, I'm using a.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
Lot of retinals, So I'm whatever, in your.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
High school, I'm high school guest, go swampers.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
We should have a high school guest at some point,
what would that be.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
I've been watching Is It Cake and one of the
contestants is eighteen, and I'm like, oh my gosh, you
can't help but be just so eighteen a chick. They
brought up a walkman and he's like, I don't know
what that is. I like that because you feel so
shamed for your sheer existence. You're like, I guess I
am old as fun. What were we talking about?

Speaker 3 (13:50):
We were talking about, uh, sexy movies.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
We were sexy movies and then oh, oh that they're back.
I think, like, you know, the Nicole Kidman dating the
much Younger And there's two movies in a row that
are that. Oh wait choes the Zaccha Front one. Oh
that's right where they This is my heart. This is
what I have a hard time with that movie. They
only give the little kisses and they're supposed to be
having sex and they're doing this.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
I don't know about you.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
But when I'm making woodpe my mouth's opening. Just so
this is a high Grandma, we're not doing Pecs' not
PEX for PEX for sex, not on the watch.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
PEX do not happen during second No.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
But then this next movie seems hot.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
It's like the A two four.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Oh oh yeah, and they have the sky Ferira song.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah. The whole thing is very dark and allurable purple tones.
It's kind of euphoria coated.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, the boss girl is going after the intern. I
think it's gonna be very sexy.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
It looks really good, and we're not gonna be seeing
any pecks in that.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
No, not a peck to be seen.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
We're gonna, in fact, we're gonna go close your mouth
a little. They're gonna be swallowing exactly. And then it
is the substance. Then they actually he.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Just swallows her and he bursts out of her.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah, they go for it a little too hard and
eat the other.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Oh man, what other movies were out this year that
were sexy? There was the tennis film Challengers. Challengers Queer
was also I didn't seem clear yet. It's very slow,
but in a good way, okay, but very sexy.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Very honestly, I'm fine with slow if it's sexy. Oh yeah,
it's arguably we all need to slow down. Think you're
sexier if we slow down.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Yeah, start with a peck. Yeah, killed from a peck.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Peck and okay, and let's write some erotica right now,
start with a peck and just keep it nice and slow.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
He thought it was just going to be a peck
from Grandma.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
I got a CBS erotica novel for fun ones. Oh
and what made me laugh so hard about it is,
first of all, they're always virgins.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
It's always like the woman and she's a virgin at
twenty eight, And to me, that's just so tragic. One
of those books, huge dork. And the funniest thing is
anytime that they'd have sex, she'd be like, or the
author would say, you know, he entered her with his
throbbing member and she sobbed, Like why is she always sobbing?

Speaker 4 (16:16):
To me, that's the anti sexy, but she sobbed?

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Does he pushed her against the wall? I'm like, but
she's enjoying it. I can't remember the last time. And
you know, I've had people say, like I cried at
the end of it. It was like so powerful, but sobbed.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
That's like saying she weeped or bald.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Right, let's stop if she's sobbing, Let's take.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
A beat, Let's find out what's happening emotional, Let's Netflix
and chill. Is everyone comfortable? Yeah, let's unpack some things
and then let's come back anyway. I highly recommend a
great book.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Have you read any more books in that category?

Speaker 2 (16:49):
You know?

Speaker 4 (16:50):
I haven't, but I am trying to get into like
Fantasy smunt.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Oh, yeah, because there's that very popular series.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, I'm trying to remember the name, but so many
friends have said it's it's all the things you want
escapism in a time like this. Oh, come on, I'm
I mean California. If you heard California is gonna be
two states because of one donor uh And you got sexy,
so you got escapism in like other worlds and you
got right hot. Yes.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Former guest of the show Blair Saki. I was following
her Instagram stories recently and she really went on a
journey with these books.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
I had the time of her life. I was like,
maybe it's time for me.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Fairies are doing things and yeah, having the time of
their life.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
And they're in the forest and they're just rolling around
taking a bath among trees in that beautiful creed. They're
having taking a bath in a lily pad. I love that.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, that's frogs everywhere.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well, because what I when I when I wanted to
like get excited, what I would look up is people
genuinely having a connection with beautiful production designs.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
That is something I've googled because.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
I'm like, give me Sparta kiss and they've and they've
built a relationship.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
I need an arc and I need like a gorgeous
cascading fountain or like a drape.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
It really gets me going. A nice back, Give me
like a beautiful corset, give me gorgeous costume that's gonna
get nominated first.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
I don't want to look at a dirty twin mattress.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
No, I'm the opposite of that.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
I really wanted to feel airbrushed, and the connection is important.
I need to feel like they've I guess I'm demisexual
in that way even when I'm watching things.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, we want those harlequtin romance to cover.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Sounds like it's kind of all those things.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Sounds exactly what we were all missing from Harry Potter.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Don't get me started. All that. Truly, the show's coming out,
and they were like, they auditioned thirty six thousand kids.
I'm like, really, you couldn't find three out of one hundred.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
I just don't buy it. And you know they didn't
watch those tapes.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
No, if they're not watching those self tapes.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
No, there are all six thousand people submitted, is what
they should say. What are we talking about? So many
people leave it alone.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
We've got new fantasy.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
So that always drives me nuts is there's there's so
much fantasy smut that they could turn into shows, and
there's so much amazing original anything out there. I have
a hard time with the blank check remakes of things
because I'm not chomping at the bit to watch something
I've already seen.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
No, no, no, no, especially if it was made it
within the last twenty years.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
You see Gladiator two.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Not watching that it showed me nuts.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
It's Gladiator one but kind of worse.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
One of the an early sign of my homosexuality was
that I fell asleep during Gladiator and More Power Too.
I woke up from that movie and said, there's something
different about me, and.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
You know, I fully support that. The only reason I
didn't fall asleep. Is because I was in Rome this
summer for my honeymoon. We went to the coliseum and
I go, you know, it will be fun to watch
the fictional version.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
To see this in CG, but.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
I watched it in four you know increments.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
I watch it for thirty minutes, having to grony watch
another thirty. I mean, for all intents and purposes, that's
a nap. Yet it is like, let's go, you know,
eat and pasta come back.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
But glad.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
And also I'm just so the CGI of it all
is driving me so nuts these days. It's so jarring.
And I don't need to see sharks in the coliseum
phony baloney phony below. Well, actually that's real. The sharks
are real in the Colosseum. Somehow, they would fill it
with water and have like boat duels and they would
perfectly fair, perfectly fair.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Do I need the computerized shark?

Speaker 3 (20:25):
If you're going to actually you have to build the
colosseum and fill it, build a minione and fill it
with one.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
People need to start spending more millions of dollars to
actually build a colosseum. I don't want a single special
effect I don't really extras that are like, we've seen
that that's happening.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, they I know they've got a lake or something
in the back of one of these lots.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
You know that they throw up a couple beams and
I just I'm such a practical effects lover.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
We all are.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, call me crazy, but I'm very like late nineties
Cynthie fantasy where you know, you pad it painted backdrop
and you had to suspend bleek to a degree.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Give me, give me a chance to imagine.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yes, let my brain work for a minute.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Start with a peck and just let us You know,
that's sort of like fantasy for play.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Let me. It's really just giving it all up.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yes, all we need from CG is a pick.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
That's what I'm Then the rest of.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
The rest of it is leave it up to us.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Real sharks put everyone at risk.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
One CGI shark. No, I think that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Even in the trailers of Gladiator too, I just thought, well,
that's not impressive to me.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
That's literally just a video game with.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
A lot of hot people, which look, that's what enticed me.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Right.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Of course, that draws you in, and.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
You would think based off of my Google searches, but
there were no genuine connections. Okay, now single genuine, no
genuine connections. And the only woman in the film, she's
from the first Gladiator and all she really does is
like put her hood up and walk into like a
dark candlelight something and she's like no, and then she
like takes her hood down.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
I was like, all she's done in this movie.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Is put her hood up and down and sort of
like Saunter, it's driving me.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
And that's not character.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Development, but it is choreography. It's really good cho choreography. Really,
if it was a music video, we'd all be through. Yeah,
and it was dramatic. They're like slow, but she's pretty
much nonverbal other and I feel like the accent work
is all over the place in these Gladiator movies, right, No,
I think what they I think Denzel joined and I
think the director was like, hey, Denzel, what's up do you?

(22:34):
Would you be down to do an accent? And he
was like no, and he's like, all right, I don't
know where is my guy? And then he's just in
training day it's and then there's like Scottish accent, like
no one everyone Italian accent.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Everyone just chose their own.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, they all chat GPT accent and they it's hard.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
It's so jarring. They're all into different universe.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
I can't do that. No, just do. Imagine you're working
at a pizza parl or a Buka to Beppo.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
That's what it was missing. Everyone needed to sound like
they were in a buabo a host how many It's
gonna be a long wait, really because I feel like
three quarters of the restaurant's empty.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
No, it's still gonna be await.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Imagine you're a thirty five year old woman working in Riverside.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Exactly, and you're told to somehow keep Buka to Beppo cool,
so you don't ever seed anyone.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
I think all of the Bukas are shutting down, are they?
I think a lot of them are going out of business.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
I wonder what they're going to put in place of that.
In Pasadena?

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Maybe an Alta, oh probably it always come at Alta
is kind of the new Halloween superstore. It is, and
it's I know, there's like makeup carried there that the
Sephora doesn't have. But there's something about I like walking
into a Sephora and spending rent.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
I like that is Alta, the one that has almost
all Alta products. Yeah, okay, and then Sephora does it
all and it.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Kind of feels more like a CVS in that way
fora's got You know this model decided to start a
skincare line and you know, to your sugarn, it's good.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
The celebrity had nothing better to do it.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, and was like I made this, and it's like
did you or did you do? Like three photo shoots
holding it? But really good serums.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
I used a serum.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
What do you think about these masks, the.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Led ones see Eliot that is a so you do
have like newborn baby skin.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
So there, those are a scam. Yeah, I hate to
break it to everyone.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
Those are a scam.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
And yeah, let's both look at the camera. Those that
may or may not be used. The red light footage
thing is not. I mean, maybe it's doing something for
you emotionally.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
And that's and you know what, sometimes the placebo is
enough to maybe help you what's it called cortisol or
maybe you're developing or less is pumping through you sat
therefore you are retaining your.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Youth bare minimum. It's forced rest.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Sure. I think a lot of this stuff psychosmatic. I
think it's like, yes, it's exactly. It's an hour where
you just have.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
To be yeah, you have to just take it easy
and feel Have you used one before?

Speaker 2 (25:05):
I haven't, But I actually to counter that, I'm seeing
people wearing it, like on the elliptical, and I'm like,
okayel like this is defeating the purpose. That's like terminator level. Right,
that's frightening, right, it's frightening. I've never used it because
it's four hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
It's a four US.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Oh no, no, I can't.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I'm going to spend four hundred and fifty dollars total
getting like sixteen things. Of course.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, it's just layering, layering, layering.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
I can't. It kind of feels like the vape where
you don't really know what it's doing and for all
we know, it's making you worse.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
It really could be. Yeah, it's like it to me
is feeling a little bit like one of those in
the sixties, one of those machines that would shake you
for exercise, or like a waterbed or a water bed.
It's like these things that we will all look back
on to me like, of course it.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Was a fraud. It'll be like in a cranium game
where they're like in twenty twenty five, this fad hit
the market and we later learned was zapping everyone with
radiation like that is responsible for countless deaths. It's like,
have you guys seen final destination with the tanning bed?

Speaker 3 (26:06):
It's that what happens in the tanning bed.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I think they tanned to get trapped in there. I
think that they roast like a land under a magnifying glass.
You would have to be in their days, and I
think that's the final destination of it all is it's
way it's hot, hot, hot.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
I think you would die of dehydration before the lights
got to you.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Right. Well, and let's call them, let's write in that's
to our senator and that because that's what they we
need to write to our senators about that. That's the
most pressent. That's the most pressing thing in this political Wow.
I haven't heard cranium in a long time. I love
a good game ever played Cranium.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
What a delightful game that is.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
You got to keep the clay moist. Yeah, that's hard
to do.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
That's ruined a lot of cranium board games.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Have too many small parts.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
To keep track of.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
You shouldn't have to have one that you keep wet.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
That's true, that's true.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
But you could always replace it with a play.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Though, right, But then you've got to are you getting
the play do or you're making the salt dough at home?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Right?

Speaker 4 (27:03):
And sometimes they're very cryptic.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
It's like, all right, sculpt the pentagon and you're like, okay,
I have thirty seconds. But I loved Cranium because I'm
not you know, I feel like it catered to each
type of thinker, like I'm not miss factoid, but I
am act out or pop culture. Such a good game,
it's a really good game.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
I want to buy that. You should Cranium, reach Outaniumanium.
I wonder if they must still make it.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
They do.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
I just saw it at Romans. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
I love that way more than your quip lashes.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Your I What I like about it is it's variety.
I love a variety live show, and I love a
variety game because anything gets boring after a while. Even
Pictionary starts off hot. That's how you know you did
stick figure and then it's over ninety minutes.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Oh all die, we're bad artists.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, I care I'm such a bad artist, and I
get really activated.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
If it's if I if I letting my team down.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Oh yeah, of course, you start to feel guilty, you
feel less than Yeah, it's a bad crictionary.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Feels like it caters to many different Now you.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Can fail three times and win once and sure like, Okay,
I'm still a person.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
It's also an appropriate reasonably size board. Yes, yeah, it's
like a seventy minute game.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
I feel like, Wow, I'm gonna get online after well, actually,
I'm gonna wait for this episode to release and see
if Cranium sends me a box.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
That sounds like a good idea? Do you play? Like
D and D or those?

Speaker 3 (28:24):
I want to play it so bad, but it's intimidating.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Do you play it? It's one of those things I'm
like if I love fantasy smut and I'm like such
a Jim Henson head, and I feel like I love
it in theory, but the patience required.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Oh so much patience.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
It's overwhelming.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
And I guess it's a welcoming community totally, but I'm like,
I might be the first person where they're like, we've
welcomed too many people.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
I feel that there's a game store right by my
sister's apartment, and I'm one of those creepy people looking in,
like breathing into the glass, watching these collection of folks
have so much fun together playing it, and there's a
real joyousness.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
But again, how do you like permeate?

Speaker 2 (29:01):
How do you walk in as a brand new person
and ask them to explain new.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
The rules and you've really are seeing each other naked.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
I think it's very exposing.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
What we need to do is probably build like a
virgin D.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
And D right where everyone's pretty new and there's one
person who's just like slightly better as the dungeons. That's
what it is, and then the rest of us can
feel embarrassed together.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yes, because otherwise I think it would be their patients
would dwindle, as would you. Yes, yeah, because they're four
five it's like a cricket game, like five hours of
cosplay five.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
That's the other thing. Risk and uh Dungeons and Dragons
and like I just simply don't have the time.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Well, Risk is a long game.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Oh it'll go for days.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
God, No, and Monopoly is pretty long. No one's ever
finished Monopoly? Has anyone ever finished Monopoly?

Speaker 3 (29:48):
You? I just learned the budget for the Monopoly Go
on the phone was five hundred million dollars just for
the marketing.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
What's the Monopoly Go for the phone?

Speaker 3 (30:00):
I'm shocked you haven't heard of this. They're everywhere. Who
is buying it? No one wants to play Monopoly the
real thing?

Speaker 2 (30:06):
You know where They nailed it though, the McDonald's back
in the day. Of course, I loved that and was
convinced if I bought enough Big Max I would fill
the bord up.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
We all were. We were all hoping to win a
Dodge Viper.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
The Dodge Viper of it all.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
That was brilliant. Today I did pull up in a
very loud Dodge Viper. I got a muffler installed so
that I'm always really loud when I pulled up, roaring
and it's parking. I did not know Monopoly Go was
a game, And so what are you to play alone?

Speaker 4 (30:42):
I get to play by yourself.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
I think probably it's it seems like a real bottoming
out for somebody like I really feel, for whatever reason,
I'm really against this particular app.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
I agree.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
It's just like that five hundred million dollars could have
funded a lot of our television shows.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
I agree. Have you another thing that feels like bottoming out?

Speaker 2 (31:03):
There's like a compute a video game that's showing up
on Netflix where you can be in a Hallmark movie.
You can play you know the girl that moved from
the big city to the small.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Town to help, you know, her widowed parent.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
And I'm sorry, I'm Hallmark has become self aware.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
The Hallmark movie is they know that they're bad now?

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Yeah, so I and they're tipped into the bit and
we can see it.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
I wanted when they were fully embarrassing themselves, of course.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
But now I'm like, I can smell that you're trying
to be cringe.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
We're in ugly sweater territory where it's like, again, it's
not a thing anymore because you got a hold of it.
And so I'm I'm just watching old ones, yes, when
they were still pure, so pure. That can't happen again.
Another network has to rise up with not enough money
to know that it's doing wrong, right, And then yeah,

(31:55):
but the monopoly thing again, back to that just a bit.
Did you watch the documentary on that I bailed pretty quickly.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Was it a monopoly dog?

Speaker 3 (32:02):
It was a whole scam about the McDonald The McDonald's
thing was ultimately being cheated by the people on the inside.
It should have been a more interesting documentary.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
But Doctor the Century, people on the inside are.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
The vipers.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Didn't they just say with the United Healthcare thing, it's
oh boy, yeah, we shouldn't go down that road.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
What is that on your left arm there?

Speaker 2 (32:26):
So this is a Labyrinth quote, But I was shooting
something and they have to cover my tattoo for it,
so now it's just the weird residue. But it says
the babe with the power, oh from Labyrinth, of course,
I love David Bowie was a big sexual awakening for me,
as was Jennifer Connelly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it got covered

(32:48):
up and now is that's It's so amazing what they
can do with airbrush.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
It starts off with this darker color and then they layer.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
It's okay, it's like this like when my my friend
does drag and watching him do the makeup and the
science of it all, and that you start off with
a very dark line and then that blends. It's a
lot of uh color something, what's the an art color?
It's so extraordinary and that you can truly like change

(33:17):
the shape.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Of your nose right, Oh, it's amazing, like.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
This, like gorgeous Cleopatra eye.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, I'm so impressed with I've never had the gift
of maidating, and I've done like the YouTube tutorials or
even at Sephora. I'm like, slow it down so I
can watch. And then still, I just had this trough
of loose makeup. The number I buy a blush and
within four days it's all over everything.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
It's exploded. And I think there's two types of people.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
I think there's the people with the really gorgeous makeup bag, yes,
not a stain in sight. And then I think there's
me who once maced herself because her mace got loose
in her makeup bag got on my blush and I'm
driving and you're driving doing your makeup and I like
home alone style, and I'd maced myself. So there's two

(34:06):
types of people. There's the people with a nice makeup
bag and the people who mace themselves because their purse
is an explosion.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
I love a nice makeup bag where you hear the
clicking of all of the different makeups against each.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Other's kind amr Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
Clicking and clacking. That's I think is very nice.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
I don't really care.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
To do my makeup, but I love the like looking
at makeup.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh all of it together, the possibility beautiful absolutely and
getting your makeup done or getting anyone like cutting your hair,
doing a thing that you absolutely can't do, and the
feeling the power.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
We all could teach ourselves to cut our hair at home.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
We could, but do we want to? I get a
little massage. Yeah, I lean back and is the temperature good?
I love that feeling. Well, do you know what a feeling?
I don't love? What? Tell me?

Speaker 4 (34:54):
I'd love to know.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Well, you're gonna hear Hannah the podcast is called I
said no gift, and yeah, I was so excited to
have you here today. And I heard your car roar
into my neighborhood. I had to plug my ears, but
I was excited to have you here. And you know,
I thought we would just have a nice Saturday chat. Sure, sure, so,

(35:16):
And I know you've gotten emails. I know on at
Lisa has been calling you non stop to let you know.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Your podcast to not bring a gift right right, right,
delicently spelled out.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
And so I was absolutely blown away when you came
into my backyard holding what is obviously clearly a gift.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Well, for all you know, that's my tote bag. You know,
that's that's where I keep my inhaler and all my makeup.
Probably you know that's where my mace is.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Your tote bag is a box with elves all over it.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
And a card addressed to you.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Well, I guess I should ask, then is this a
gift for me?

Speaker 2 (35:53):
It is? Okay, Well that's a gift for you. Should
I open it here? On the podcast? Yeah, I think
you ought to. It's as I says, there's something living
in there. There's a snake that up just that scene
from kill Bill, the way that I wrapped this and

(36:15):
stuffed it in there. I just want to warn you
it's shocking, shocking. It's sort of a Mary Poppins how
they're an umbrella in their situation.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Wonderful. Okay, so there's a little little card. I'm going
to open this up. Let's see here a lot of
tissue paper.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
I think a box not filled with tissue paper is
such a waste.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Oh, it's a horrible idea.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
A hollow if there's just a loose.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Given sliding around nothing, no, no care about me.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
You don't care about you, never once scared about me.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
You have low self a scene that you're trying to
make me have low selfish.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Why don't you take a look in the mirror, buddy.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
Yeah, there's a lot of tissue here, So let's start.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
And you're probably gonna need an explanation, okay, Okay, So
we're getting to some tissue. This is stuffed in.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
Here, and I would say there's maybe a couple of gifts.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Okay, so I gotta be very careful, very ribbon.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
What should I do here? And then I'm seeing a
lot of cotton very soon, My friends, this is incredible
and there are some things in the middle. It's a
two partner, Oh dazzling.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Okay. Okay, So now I found three little vials. Is
this everything?

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (37:30):
I just want to make sure because there's a lot
of cotton here.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Almost there's a surplus bloody it looks like a bloody bandage.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
This was around your dog's paw.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
I want to start by saying, this is a regift,
this is something that was very dear to me, okay,
and I'm passing. I'm so thrilled about this, and of
course I'm gonna need to explain to you what it is.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Okay, So they're three little vials. I mean they are
almost from an erotic fantasy because they're full of beautiful,
colorful glitter.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Now you know what, I don't think people are gifting
enough of what.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
I don't think people are gifting enough magic, I think.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
And I blessed all of those.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
You blessed each one of them with different things.

Speaker 4 (38:14):
The gift of spontaneity.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Okay, So which is which I'm holding the pink crack.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
That's the gift of just magic.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
Oh, this is pure mess, everyday magic.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Okay, So I should swallow sprinkle that over yourself or
something that you feel could use a little magic. A
piece of toast, piece of toast. You know, you're sitting
at your computer interior and you're deleting exterior, and you're deleting.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
I need inspiration. I need a little magic. Sprinkle that
over your.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Twenty eighteen MacBook left just me, just me with a
MacBook that's overheating after fifteen minutes with a.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
Cord that sparked the other day. I could use a
little magic, or maybe some money.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
I finally had to get rid of my I tried
to stretch out a laptop about seven to eight years. Sure,
my MacBook was I think three or four years old.
But I got I was told I got the wrong model.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
This thing, that's what it is. It's not that's a
decade old waffle iron. I know, if your MacBook's going,
then you have to get rid of that MacBook. My
MacBook needs one of those ports. It's so old.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah, so I was a little upset. I finally had
to get a new one. But I can dump this
into here.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Yeah, try the magic first. So that's the gift of magic.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
The silver is the gift of the fiscal gift. Oh,
it's a fiscal gift. Sprinkle that over something that you'd
like an upgrade. I'm going to freebase this. Sure, it's
do with that what you will. Okay, And that could
more be in the abstract as well. If you've got
kind of a self worth thing going on, and I
don't need to kind of project that onto you. You're
giving abundance, you're giving glowy skin. Yes, but if there's

(39:48):
something that you feel needs a glow up, or you know,
maybe your car, you want a night's oar, sprinkle that
over that.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
You might be you might be at a dealership soon.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Okay, put this in the gas tank or the battery
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
And this is and then and so what we haven't
gotten to this one? Now, this is that's the gift
of passion.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
It's a midnight blue right after hours.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
That's an after hours gift. That's you to speak easy
with a whiskey sour and you're kind of and you're
kind of shuffling, and you've got one cube wearing nothing
but and you've got to tassel and you're swirling it
and you're going hellos uh. That's the gift of passion.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Taking a small vial of a mysterious thing into a bar, I.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
Can't recommend it in that no one's gonna ask any questions.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
And put it on and and and put and sprinkle
it into your neighboring friends drinks. So the tay too
can have the gift of passion.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
No one will ask any questions.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
No, I these are the most charming little vials I've
ever seen. They really do look magical, I think.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
And you know, it's like we were talking about psychosomatic
the led mask. Being psychosomatic, you know, being maybe just bullshit,
but makes you feel like you're slipping from the fountain
of youth. These vials to me, whether or not there's
actual magic in there, you might feel like the act
of doing it gives you the magic.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
I think so.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
I think we could all benefit from acting like we're
children more often. Absolutely right, It's like we have to
read the artist's way to have fun. Right.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
No, I don't need that.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
I just need to sprinkle glitter all over everything and
put that in people's drinks. No, I I just I
love a little magic. I love a little whimsy in
the acts.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
See what are you doing to bring whimsy into your life?

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Getting labyrinth tattoos? Watching, going to puppet shows? Oh do
you go to Bob Baker Love Bob Baker. Jim Henson
Studios is about to start doing live puppet whose They
we do like muppet type shows. This was just brought
to my they do muppet puppet improv. Wow. I know,

(41:47):
and I somehow I've been missing this, but things like that, right, Uh,
just I don't know. Go take some paints to the park.
Frolic frolic, absolutely fry that out for size. I saw
a video of someone skipping and they were like, it's
a way more efficient way to get around. Now.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
Listen, am I gonna skip around the Albertsons? No?

Speaker 3 (42:09):
Maybe after you sign a petition to get California two states.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
You're skipping with glee. Yeah, I didn't want that. Okay,
let me hear the face of that.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
Before we started recording, I tried to sell you a
lot of crypto.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Right, but ethereum's up right now, so I hear, couldn't
be me to invest in that. I come from a
lot of fiscal bad, bad choices.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
Like mother, like daughter.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
But and also with crypto, I mean, I mean, I
guess it is kind of in this category where you're
just believing.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
But this doesn't crypto. You're right, you're oh, my god,
is crypto whimsical?

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Crypto is whimsical? Maybe this is how we ruined crypto
because we make it a little bit more less bro
And then all those guys are scared. They're like, I
don't want to be whimsical.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Crypto is make believe I give you this money.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
It's taken the money is already such a fictional concept
that we've all agreed to, and it's taken it to
a new level, to erotic fantasy level that is unsustainable.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
It's all made up. But at least we can print dollars.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Yes, I can hold a dollar, right, I mean I
kind of need something.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
I need liquidity, right, I need something that I can
throw in someone's face and say, this is all you
care about.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Here's that money I owe you. Yeah, you do that
at the after hours bar as you're swirling your tassel.
You know what that gift is. That's the gift of drama.
It's pure And I'm not talking about vander Pump Rules drama.
I'm talking about life, just having a bit more zest,
a bit doing everything, but just doing it a.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
Bit extra extra extra. It feels like I feel like
a spray bottle of glitter would be a good self
defense tool. Sure, that adds a little extra fun to
the attack. You know, I love that, but but enjoy.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Yeah, africadabra. Sorry, I was talking to my dog. I
was trying to fetch my dog over there and may
see you at the same time.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
I love a spray bottle of mace.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
That feels again like something that I would that would
accidentally leak in my purse. Is that an option for me?
Just a yeah, listen, I'm sure that you could buy
just loose mace on the internet on the dark web,
go all the way to the dark ones, just get
a ziploc bag of mace.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
Speaking of the dark web, I was just listening to
a podcast called The kill List.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Have you heard of this?

Speaker 3 (44:37):
It's about hired killers that people hire on the dark web,
and apparently it turns out it's mostly a scam. Sure,
but this the theory.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Ashley Madison of Hitman kind of the guy who created
this podcast. He's like, well, what's happening is these people
are hiring a killer for thousands and thousands of dollars.
It's not happening, but because they're willing to put that
money forth, they're probably gonna end up killing their spouse.
Because it's almost always this one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
It's like, kill my ex wife. Here's thirty thousand dollars,
and then the dark web goes away and right now
they're just embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
How often is it actually like the ransom notes that
are being like I'm watching that, Jean Benet, Oh there's
a new one. There's a new one.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
There's no new information.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Of course, that's how the Zodiac thing was.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
I hate how Netflix is doing three part series that
need to be fifty minutes max, okause the first twenty
minutes is a series of jump cuts of people going
I've worked a long time in my field and I've
never seen a case like this, And then it cuts
to someone else, and you know, it's like journalist, I've
written a lot of stories and in all my years,
this story is the most hard hitting. Of course, over

(45:47):
and over again for like eight to fifteen minutes.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
We've run out of true crimes.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
We've run out of true Can people be committing more crimes? Yeah,
we've got to get so we can watch it and
be spooked in our beds. No. I love true crime,
and I'm sick of these these stretched out.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
These documentaries on Netflix are wasting all of our time.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Yah.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
Just I don't know if you watched the recent Zodiac one,
but I did. Absolute waste of everyone's time. No new information,
of course, the new testimonials are also I'm like, sorry,
I just think that I don't know that I believe this.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Maybe they're banking on people that don't know about the story,
the eighteen year olds that don't know what a walkman is,
the people that didn't see National Inquire articles about Jean Benet. Right, well,
just drag your old documentary at the top of the
pile and showing I'm not saying I don't understand why
we need a new one. Gosh, that's sort of the
theme of this episode is you got a blank check?

(46:44):
What are you gonna do the same thing.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
We're gonna talk about Jean Benet again.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
You're gonna do Gladiator and it's the same script. You're
You're not fooling us, And add a couple of sharks.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
No, add some sharks to the Jean Benet story.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
That's okay. If you're gonna do a Jan Benet do over,
add some sharks. Just it can be a loose theory.
We've gotten every other theory. Maybe there was a two
sharks in a trench coat that dressed a Santa Claus.
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Just I mean, if you're going to keep doing it,
just bring up some new theories.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
It's so interesting that we as a society need crave
watching the like It's like SPU's the most popular, always
the most grizzly haunting stories that we gravitate towards.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
What is that?

Speaker 3 (47:29):
I think I feel like I've actually heard somebody. Somebody
had a pretty succinct explanation of why this is, and
I can't remember anything about it, but it was basically
like a part of it is self protection, where you're like,
you're you at least feel like you're learning how to
keep yourself from that happening to you, Okay, And then
I guess the rest of the rest of it were

(47:51):
just freaks that tracks.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Because when I was a kid, I would watch unsolved
mysteries the most haunting of all. Oh, because and what's
funny is in true crime in a way most of
them are unsolved mystery, Yes, but it's the fact that
they would end every episode and say, if you have
any information on the whereabouts or any further information on
this case, call this number.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
There was one about it was.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
A family that went to the Grand Canyon and they
were intents and the parents were in a tent and
the little kid was in a tent and apparate tent.
I know, well rude, because it gets very cold there
at night. Why weren't they all huddling together like three bears? Right?

Speaker 4 (48:25):
But that was their prerogative. Maybe they wanted to.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
Make some whoopee have meaningful sex in beautiful production design.
But they cut a hole in the tent and they
scooped the kid out, And it was one of those
where there really was a kidnapper and they've never found
the little girl. So I was convinced that someone was
gonna cut me out of something, of course, and scoop

(48:48):
me out naturally.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
And we don't think it was just the parents and
they like it feels like a perfect excuse. While he
was in a different tent. How could I mean, of
course he got kidnapped.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Right exactly. You were asking for that right. So often too,
it's it's about wealth, right, like the Elizabeth Smart case,
they there was a ransom situation.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
Smart. I grew up in Utah. Actually I can very
specifically remember this happening in real time, like my uncle
lived in the neighborhood, and like it was a horrible situation.
That situation was not ransom. It was a lunatic, a
religious fanatic who basically thought he was a prophet and
was trying to create a new uh something or other

(49:29):
with wives.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Oh, it's so interesting that I gave you the gift
of whimsy, and now we're talking about murder kidnapping gone
too far deptour there, and I thought, whose imaginations got
too big? Right? Right, if they just had.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
A creative outlet, they wouldn't be kidnapping and throwing their
kids into the Grand Canyon.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
That's if they had had the pixie dust, right, things
could have looked really different. It's not interesting as humans
that It's like we started magic and we still have
to skew to tragicy. Yes, we always just kind of
slide right. Uh, it's good to see you, my Uh.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
The one unsolved mysteries that and this may have been
a what was the other one called America's Must Wanted Sure,
but this was must have been unsolved mysteries because.

Speaker 4 (50:18):
Probably he was more for kids.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
Why but I think it was like on Friday nights
when your parents went out, and so that's.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
When you were turning guys, gather out and we're popping
on in some mysteries.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Put the candy and the popcorn and let's start this thing.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
For me, the one that stood out and I can
still remember was there was a guy that would call
Pizza Hut and have a delivery to like an and
it would end up being an empty field and the
person would get murdered.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Okay, spooky, who's delivering pizza to an empty field?

Speaker 3 (50:50):
Well, they didn't have the Google address to check out
if it was an empty field or were.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
They printing a map quest out and they had to
go that. You remember that?

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Oh yeah, and your mom meant to drop you off
and she's like, what was west?

Speaker 4 (51:02):
It's a cloth act.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
I can't believe we survived through map Quest.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
And I know what I just did to your ear
there with the sound I reached, I went into a
I went into Ariana Grande and wicked head voice.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
I thought, blood rushing, and I want to apologize.

Speaker 4 (51:16):
And when I do that next time, we'll do like.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
What I think that was still probably peaking for someone
that has a low registered voice, I can go astoundingly.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
It was a beautiful note you hit there. It's a
high sea.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
There's been some confusion. I loved Wicked Yeah map Quest
and I was like, that's a crazy case.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Yeah, it was a It was a dark one where
I guess all these pizza delivery people were vanishing and
all they wanted was to take the pizza.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
And all they were probably doing was getting a summer
gigah to go back to school.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
That sucks.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Vanished vanished, And I don't think that.

Speaker 4 (51:56):
Murder is good, but that feels like an especially.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
Because this one was These people were trying to have
fun and making a few extra bucks.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Because it's so fun to deliver pizza.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
I'm always saying I'm loving doing that.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
I will say I've never delivered pizza. I had a
friend who did deliver pizza, and we would go along
with him on occasional fun. You get to listen to
all your favorite music, you have the smell of pizza
in the air. As a teenager, at least, it was
a thrill. It's a very like teenage vibe.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Joining along reminds me of I was in an uber
the other day and there was just the uber driver's
wife in the front seat and me in the back,
and I thought, that's a choice. I wasn't mad at it.
We had a really nice conversation. I learned about their love.
But is that allowed.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
I don't know that that's legal in the uber world, right.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
I also had an uber driver watching the Disney movie
Ice Princesses while driving me. They had an iPad propped up.
iPad propped up, but.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
The phone was loose.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
The phone didn't have a magnet, but the iPad did,
and they were watching a future film that might I
add is gripping Michelle Trachtenberg, Kim Katrol.

Speaker 4 (53:00):
She's a demanding stage mom of the ice.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
It's but I thought, and I didn't even say anything,
you can't. I let them drive me from Pasadena to
West LA and we watched forty minutes in the freeway
of ice princesses.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
If there's something bad happening in an uber or lyft
and you comment on it, now, it's.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
Just going to get worse. That's exactly nothing will improve.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
And I the least confrontational.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
There could be a thumb in my soup and I
would be like, Oh, it's probably it's probably my thumb.
You know. It's so hard to ask for what you want.
I've got a massage. I've got I get like one
massage every two years, right, And it was way too hard,
and I suffered in silence for I was like, is
that And they even asked is that good? Yes? Awesome? Loving?
You know what, get even deeper in there, whatever's fun

(53:47):
for you. Let's grab another person to hop on top
of me. Just have them jump up and down. It's
so scary to us for what you want.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
Oh, it's terrifying. I'm so mad at it.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
When I like shop at the target or something thing
and I'll skip it.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
You're not verble, No, I rarely speak up for myself.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Why is it so hard?

Speaker 3 (54:09):
Well, it's kind of cozy not to.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
I should have given you the gift of bravery. Oh
and given myself that.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
Right next appearance, bring a full bottle of right self confidence.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
But everyone, in a way is the cowardly lion. And
I don't know why the Wicked.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
Your viper has a car wrap around it.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
That's a Wicked billboard. It's one of those rotating They
paid me two hundred dollars to Wicked. Two dollars, just
five hundred million and two hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
We have two hundred left. Find a lady with a viper.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
And my viper got nineteen people to see Wicked. They're like,
it's so loud, that car so loud, it must be
telling the truth. Oh man, well you didn't. Actually, I gave.

Speaker 4 (54:54):
You a two part gift.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
And wait, what's the second part?

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Will you threw it on the ground the cotton, that's
a gift that's actually the main gift. It's a wig. Okay,
so that is a gnomes that's a GNOME's beard. Oh
that you're supposed to tie that around.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Holding this up, it immediately becomes clear that it's a beer.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Did you just think that was like tissue paper? I
thought it was dirty cotton, And and you're not wrong.
This looks like.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
A bandage from like a World War One hospital.

Speaker 4 (55:26):
Because so maybe it's dual purpose.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
When you get on your kind of Stoka wagon when
you're injured, you can use that, but you can also.

Speaker 3 (55:34):
Full beer gnome old beer. I'll wear this until I
sweat at least.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
Oh, I mean when this global winter we're having. Does
this suit me?

Speaker 4 (55:44):
I think it's so good.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
You can you can take that into the bedroom and
do with that what you will. You can walk around
the grove wearing that and just bring joy to young kids.
You can. You could also be Santa in that. It's
a gift that keeps on any white beer man. You
can be a white man. You can be a white
bearded white man. Everyone's asking for more of those.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
I'm already sweating, but we'll keep it on for a
bit longer.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Where did this come from I was, and I'll show
you a picture in a minute, or I won't. I
was holding Yeah, I don't holding this. I'm developing a
neck problem. Yeah, and you can and we get it now.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
You can always you can.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
I won't be offended if you take that off. You
can wear it as a bib, a lobster bib. You
can also wear that a red lobster or the crab
shack and just get your your loose. I don't have
to wear a shirt with this.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
I could wear this as kind of what are those
things called. It's like a sort of top.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Is this not a biby?

Speaker 4 (56:43):
A dicky?

Speaker 2 (56:44):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (56:46):
I mean, it's kind of a Christina Aguilera.

Speaker 4 (56:49):
Circa dirty era. It's just the front.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
I wear this with chaps, also made of color.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
Wear that with chaps, and then you do or do
not send me a picture. It's totally a to you.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
It'll be a video. It'll be an hours.

Speaker 4 (57:04):
Long, at least a live photo that goes on way
too long.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
I love the live photo that ends up in a
nude at the very end, because you didn't know how.

Speaker 4 (57:11):
It's like a zoom and you didn't know the camera
was on. I wasn't known this Halloween.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Oh, and my cousin and I have a tradition. I
go visit her in Atlanta because Atlanta's Halloween is is
quintessential Halloween town, not picture.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Atlanta is a Halloween town.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Got porches, You've got crunchy leaves, You've got the parents
are dressing up too. And something I will say is
all the parents of the kids in Atlanta were hot.

Speaker 3 (57:36):
Oh interesting.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
I don't know if my biological clock is taking or something,
but every mom and dad could get it.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
They were smoking hot.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
Well there, and they're dressing up in hot I'm talking
like Likera suit. Oh, they're dressing up like the Incredibles.
But if the Incredibles.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
People are pretty hot, couple.

Speaker 4 (57:54):
Kind of hot, right, they're wearing skin tight suits.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
Oh beautiful. But that's not in addition the parents being
able to get it. The town is just gorgeous and
the porches are gorgeous, and everyone goes all out. But
with the tradition is that we I arrive and we
give ourselves about four hours to like put a costume together,
like we're a TLC show. And so yeah, so I

(58:18):
took construction paper and I made the pointy hat and
then I found mushroom stickers. And then I had this
kind of like berries and cream shirt with a fun
collar and overalls. And then she sewed. She's big into quilting,
and I don't know why you need that for a quilt.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
The inside.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
Yeah, this is like the batting. That's the word, bring
me the batching.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
The swivel, what is it?

Speaker 2 (58:46):
The swivel?

Speaker 4 (58:47):
What's the remote called?

Speaker 3 (58:49):
The swamper? The clicker?

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (58:51):
What do you call splinters?

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Sliver?

Speaker 4 (58:53):
Sliver?

Speaker 3 (58:53):
Sliver is a better word for a control than swamper.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
I think so too.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
It's more of a sliver, especially for Apple TV.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
But this is the inards of this is the quick
gets under the skin and and so she made that
for me and you're and it was a hot night.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
She whipped this up one hundred four hours.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
It's incredible. Put the ribbon around it. Do you have
the gift of crafty handiness?

Speaker 3 (59:16):
Absolutely not. I was in a in The Ultimate craft.

Speaker 4 (59:26):
Is it cake or did they mount to TV?

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Both?

Speaker 3 (59:29):
That's a movie. I want to see a TV show starring.

Speaker 4 (59:32):
Shared Stone full frontal. Within the first.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
Two minutes, she's trying to mount a TV. She's doing
it so sexy. The cameras mounted in the wall for
some reason. Oh what were you saying?

Speaker 4 (59:46):
I'm so sorry. We deviated.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
God only knows well.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
Love a podcast for that love a deviation.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
We were talking about beards and cotton and slivers and
sharing stone front fe Atlanta, And to me that actually
kind of crafty handiness. Oh yeah, not crafty.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Uh. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
If you had to take sewing in middle school. I did,
and homack I bombed me too. I was like a
decent suit in other categories. I was like the student
that the teacher felt bad for, like I had to
stay after Oh what did you make? We had to
make wind socks?

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
What's a wind sock?

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
So that even what it's called socks that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:24):
You ParaSail in. What's a wind sock? I know about
a wind chime, I know about it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
I know what a wind sock is.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
It's like a it's like a fabric tube, different colors
that blows.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
The inflatable tube. Man, it's kind of.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
The predecessor of that thing. What is a wind sock
for beautiful decor? Oh, it's not to wear, not to
although it would make a slinky little costume.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
Okay, I like a compression sock, but the opposite.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
Imagine a what is the type of dress that, Yeah,
you can imagine.

Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
Easy to call it that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
What would you call it? A mobile of whimsy? Well,
now with the personality as opposed to all these other
lame fucking.

Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
Mobiles, well that's a rooshock.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
Welcome to earth Winds.

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
I tried to make one with the Utah Jazz colors
and failed miserably, and then missus whoever she was, basically
had to take over the sewing machine for me. Oh,
I think I was scared of getting my fingers sucked in.
I think that's really.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Fing machines are spooky.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
I mean, it's a final destination moment, it is.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
And they make it look so easy on Project Runway,
but they're they're moving their hands around a needle that's
puncturing over and over again.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Over and there they've got their foot literally on the gas.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
I'm with you, it's spooky.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
Yeah, it's not for me. My mom ansister are both
great quilters and sewers, but I didn't get that. I
didn't get that ability me neither.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
And it's and I love art. I love to consume art.

Speaker 4 (01:01:59):
I like you know. I guess my trade is performance.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Or performance if you will.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
I've been to wear a wig or kind of gnomes beer.

Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
A spiritual sewing machine.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
But the but the working with your hands. I also
hated woodworking class.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Oh, I mean, don't even get we started with that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
And my brother in law is one of his an
imagineer and he's one of those people who can just
like whittle a walking stick.

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
That was my dream job, to be an imagined imagineer.

Speaker 4 (01:02:25):
But you lacked a lot of this.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
I simply didn't have one of the skills.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
Yeah, you didn't even have one of them. They're like,
you know what, we'll let us slide if you have
even one of the skills.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
The one physics class I took in college was literally
called how things work.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
So that's imagineering is crazy because in your head you're like, oh,
someone just comes up with ideas. No, they need to
be an architect, a physicist all around, greg yeh, which
because you got to work with that person.

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
Yeah, all of like most of those things don't usually converge.
It's like usually you have a real math brain, but
you're not creative, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
It's like imagineers are physicists wearing Hawaiian shirts and you're like,
some people can't have it all.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
Yes, I think they are probably one people that have
it all the other. I mean, what you've nailed what
an imagineer is, and I can't fit into that clothing.
I would have been laughed out of the imagineer in college.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
I don't think Eddie Bauer is our journey. I don't
think so. No, you're a dapper. You're dapper.

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
Let's be honest. I'm simply too dapper. That's the only problem.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
Otherwise, you're so good at physics. Complete. That's the first interview,
is they just they just have you mount to TV?
The second interview is is a cake situation?

Speaker 4 (01:03:43):
They have to a hyper realistic cake?

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
She would have to do? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
Interesting, I need to get those imagineers on the line.
I'm not happy with what they did with the Hollywood
Tower of Terror.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
I haven't seen it yet. What do you like about it?

Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
They turned it into a marveling and it was a
perfect ride. Did you ever go on it?

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
Oh? I love the Okay, now I'm remembering. I love
the Tower of Terror. Are you talking about now? It's
Guardian to the Galaxy. I went on that ride and
thought I was having a heart attack. You may, I
think this is what a heart attack feels like. But
how I who knew they could be so fun? Because
you're because you're dip, you're dropping, dipping and dropping. It's
because I took my focus pill that morning and then

(01:04:25):
and then you're on a thing with the Oh that's
a drop, and I'm already on my ten milligrams of
AfterAll that I'm prescribed, just blasted on it. Yeah, I was.
I think I'm having a heart attack, but I'm but
I'm smiling ear to ear. I hear you, I hear you.
I I have no frame of reference. I never saw
the Tower of the Tower.

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
Dude, they said with the Tower of Terror was unlike
anything else on earth. Sure, it was so eerie and creepy.
And then you got to go up and down and
up and down you got to see I mean everything
about it was so perfect.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
And now it's rock and roll because also story to
get us to the Guardians of the Galaxy, it's a
real it's a it's it's reaching, it's thin, it's a
thin storyline.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
Yes, whereas the Hollywood Tower of Terror was, you're checking
into a haunted hotel. Of course this is going to
go wrong, right right, the.

Speaker 4 (01:05:15):
David S Pumpkins of spooky.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Yes, it was. It was very spooky. And I'll never
forgive them, and nor should you, and I have no
reason to. And I never know where.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
Because it sounds like you love and you love aesthetic
as well, you know where you need to go. Then
it's called the Efteling. It's a theme park in Holland.
It's the most incredible production design you've ever seen. What
is this? Gnomes, trolls, goblins, which you know I'm about,
of course. And there's a ride called and it's and
it's really got a gorgeous ring to it. It's a

(01:05:49):
dream flight and it's it's a seven minute experience and
you go through a fairies a fairies land.

Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
I can't believe I've never heard of this.

Speaker 2 (01:05:59):
It's you got to go if you're ever going to Europe,
definitely step passed through.

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
And what is it called the Fling?

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
How do you spell that?

Speaker 4 (01:06:06):
E F T E L I N G.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
I think it won an award, several awards for like
best Ride.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
And I bet they have a bunch of delightful pastries.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
They oh gosh. They have Choco mel is, a better
chocolate milk, and in the winter they have a hot
chocomel with whipped cream and a candy cane. I'm going.
And they have a fairytale village where they've recreated. Anton
Peak is the illustrator and they approached him in like
the forties or something because it used to just be

(01:06:36):
like a park, and they said, would you want to
create the illustrations and and bring this fairy tale village
to life. It's the most whimsical thing you've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
It's googling this as soon as the podcast. I'm the
show up now, so.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
You can get to your googling and I can get
to looking up people with a genuine connection.

Speaker 4 (01:06:54):
Beautiful production design. It's the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
Let me have my fun.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
Wow, this one's really delightful.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
It's great. That's my vacation. It's all practical. It's it's
all you know. It's like the none of the rides.
It's not about speed there, it's all about.

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
Just the being in the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Yeah, vibes and world building.

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
And now they could just get one elevator that drops,
I hear you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
They have something called Dance Macabre and I think in
theory it's kind of that and very you know, gorgeous score,
gorgeous production design. Okay, when are you there?

Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
I was there. I went on a belated honeymoon. I
mean I've been a bunch.

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
I've been going since I was like three or four,
but I went most recently this summer with my husband,
and it's I really feel like a five year old
is your family from there? My dad's Dutch.

Speaker 4 (01:07:42):
That's why you said swamp.

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
For oh, okay, so now we're getting we're unpeeling the
layers here. So maybe they call it the swamper over there.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
They maybe that's what it is. They really well they
you know what they call goosebumps antits, Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:07:57):
I don't like, which is like that's too small, that's.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
Way too small that I mean, that's my even.

Speaker 4 (01:08:02):
Ant it would be.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
So I mean that ant has had some work done
and I've.

Speaker 4 (01:08:05):
Got some boldest ass bumps minor big.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Yeah. They also call it goose pimples.

Speaker 3 (01:08:12):
Goose pimples. I've heard this, which kind of makes sense.
It's like that gross chickens, right, Yeah, I think we
kind of we should have left it alone.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Yeah, don't touch it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Yeah, goose pimples him and tits bumps.

Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
You know it's it's an amal, it's you know, you
can interpret.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
It however you wish. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
Yeah, I was just on a trip with some friends.
In one of the we were in Mexico City, and
one ordered for breakfast eggs with ant caviar, which I guess,
I mean, it makes sense. I guess you can see
an ant egg.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
He's like eating a cricket.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
It's like eating a cricket. They say it's good protein
wrap put it in chocolate.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
You just have to get around if you. I think
if you weren't told, that's always my problem, the mental sure.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
But the texture of a cricket. Wouldn't you kind of
be like that's a bug. I don't know if you'd
be like, it's shit chicken?

Speaker 4 (01:09:07):
Is it cake?

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
I don't know if you I'm really pushing that. I've
been realized, is it cake cake? You just got it
a wicket? And is it ca? Yeah? And I am
a new producer on this, trying to revive the show.
They just had a holiday special They're back. Baby. Never
went away, It never went on. I never watched the show.
I don't know how many people did I felt like

(01:09:29):
I had had enough after one TikTok or whatever. Sure,
I think I just am always like mind blown that
they pull it off right, that they make like a seashell.

Speaker 4 (01:09:42):
Cake or or a walkman cake. Anyway, we can move on.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
This episode was recorded in April of twenty twenty. Yeah, exactly,
it does feel very twenty twenty Codd.

Speaker 3 (01:09:57):
Okay, Well, is there anything left to say about this
gorgeous beer?

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
I just hope that you experienced the same magic that
I did.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
Well, this is I already am. I mean, this is
a you know I feel.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
Wearing on just my arm for a good half hour.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
For a minute, I thought I was having perimenopause, and
I'm in my early thirties, but I had a full
he you were talking and I was I was like
a Dolly clock. I was melting. But I'm back.

Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
I had a water and I'm back.

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
I just read All Fours by Miranda July.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
Have you read that? Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:10:32):
I love Miranda July.

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
I haven't read.

Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
Deals with this topic exactly periopause, And it makes me
wonder if she goes to my same gym she described
the gym described in this book.

Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
Uh, that's a very vivid description.

Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
Yeah, it's not that vivid of a description. It's just
there's a certain couple of things. It's the gym in
the book is in a basement, and it's run by
a husband and wife team, and the character is in La. Okay,
how many basement gyms run by husband and wife teams
do you think there are in La?

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Not?

Speaker 4 (01:11:02):
Well, maybe a couple, but probably not many.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Yeah, and are together. I love that they're deeply in love.

Speaker 4 (01:11:09):
They've got so they're probably just super fit.

Speaker 3 (01:11:11):
They're super fit, they have great taste in TV.

Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
They go to when they had go on a date.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
It's like a cryogenics chamber, they probably.

Speaker 4 (01:11:18):
Yeah, I love that for them.

Speaker 3 (01:11:19):
So I'm keeping my eyes out from Miranda. Okay, she
might be there. I'm maybe for all I know, I
was one of the characters in the book, I might
as well assume.

Speaker 4 (01:11:28):
But is there a description of a dapper.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
Well, there's a character that she describes as someone who
simply could not be an imagineer.

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
So that's what it is, and looked no for it
could definitely not mount the TV, definitely not.

Speaker 4 (01:11:44):
I gotta read that book.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
Okay, Well, I've got these beautiful magic glitters, which I'm
so excited about. And I have this beard which can
also be worn as a cute.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
Little top and a bib for crapshack bibe almost to anything.
I'm always your crab run off our live shows.

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
I've only had one piece of clothing acceptable for our
live shows that's been given to me on the podcast,
and I've been wearing it, and Okay, so now I'm
starting to get a feeling this may come into play
at some point that feels even more inappropriate than what
I have been wearing.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
And if you there's just you know, if you want
to if you it's a theme party, right theme, and
you know they're like no future.

Speaker 4 (01:12:17):
There's just so many things this beard could be.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
And I just can't wait to see it pop up
on your Instagram. Taxis Flourish. Can't wait to be stalking
to be sure that you wear that at least once,
or otherwise I'm gonna be really upset.

Speaker 3 (01:12:30):
It will be on at least on Instagram once. Okay,
the listener, I feel like I never up top tell
people that we have an Instagram. It's like the last
thing I say in the credits of the podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Well, it's very sweet. But I guess I start my day.
I look at your Instagram and I go, it's gonna
be a good time to get going, And he said,
no gifts.

Speaker 4 (01:12:47):
I'm bringing a gift.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
I have the strength. Well, I think we should play
a game now, Okay, I love that on only what
do you.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
Think should we play Gift Master? It's been a long time.
I do think there are people that are mad. Okay,
we're gonna play the game called Gift Master. I need
to number between one and ten from you seven, Okay,
I speaking to me do some light calculations to get
out game pieces. So right now you can promote, recommend,
do whatever you want with the mic.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
It's so funny. I am. If it's out in January,
I'm I just started on a TV show. We can
cut this out if it's not. But they haven't announced
it yet, so I'm afraid to announce it. So I
guess I'll just say I have a project coming and
just keep an eye out for when I can announce it.
You can follow me on Instagram at Hannah pilkis h
A n n A h p I l k E

(01:13:33):
s there on my Instagram, you can you can learn
about the project I'm working on when I can talk
about it. What if it doesn't exist, I never announce it.
Keep teasing it.

Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
God, we keep going on that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
I said, no gifts, podcasts in Hannah's and no announcement
to be found that But honestly, that's a good way
to keep people looking. Oh yeah, I've got a project
coming out that I can't announce, but I will soon.

Speaker 4 (01:13:59):
But check in daily and like and comment.

Speaker 3 (01:14:02):
This is very sky fererra behavior. Actually, she's been put
an album for the last I mean it's not her
fault entirely, the.

Speaker 4 (01:14:09):
Rihanna of announcements. Yes, the Rihanna album.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
God, I love Rihanna and I would kill for another album.

Speaker 3 (01:14:16):
He's not putting out another album?

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Thing?

Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
Why why bother at this point? Unless she really just
wants to is for fun?

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
But she's so good?

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Yeah she knows that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
But but but but why you're saying because she's a billionaire. Yeah,
but isn't it for the art?

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
But she has she has not. I mean, if she
puts something out, she could lose a lot. What if
it sucks?

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
That's so true. It's almost like when the when enough
time or your Ariana Grande and you just put out
on an album every four to five months, and no one.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
Can keep tru got to put out. It takes the pressure.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
Off, that's true. When was her last album? It's oh,
it's been twenty eighteen or something sixteen. Yeah, it's been
eight years. Uh. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
The pressure is so great on her now that it would.

Speaker 2 (01:14:58):
Have to do only you putting it on. Yes, I'm
calling her days. I know what's gonna be your best announcement? Hey, yeah, Okay,
this is how we play gift ester. I'm gonna name
three celebrities and I'm going to name three gifts. Okay,
you're going to tell me which gift you would give
which celebrity and why. I love that some make perfect sense.

Speaker 3 (01:15:18):
Yes, okay, these are the celebrities we'll be playing with today.
Number one is Lorraine Brocco. Who is that She plays
Tony's therapist in The Sopranos. Okay, I know exactly The Sopranos.
Of course, she plays doctor Jennifer Melfie. Okay, and she
does a bunch of other stuff. Number two is Killian Murphy. Great,

(01:15:38):
we all know Killian the Cheekbones for years, Yes, gorgeous,
And number three is Joe Jonas. Okay, I can picture
just a general Jonas. I don't know, Lorrain and Joe, Lorraine,
Killian and Joe, and you'll be giving these gifts away.
Number one is let's see a miniature fridge?

Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
Okay? Nice?

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
Number two is a guest verse on the new single
of a problematic wrapper, sure, tricky territory. And number three
is the inability to trust.

Speaker 4 (01:16:12):
Okay, okay, I know what I'm gonna do.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
I'm gonna give the mini fridge to Killian because Lord knows,
Killian's hydrating those cheekbones. That job is that cheekbones. I
just think everyone always says drink water, and no one does.
They would sooner spend six thousand dollars at Sephora than
drink a bottle of water. Am I right?

Speaker 4 (01:16:31):
I'm a raisin. This is the most water I've.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
Drank in a day in months and months, and yet
I'm still having heat flashes.

Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
You can kind of see him drinking from a straw.

Speaker 4 (01:16:41):
Too, totally definitely drinking from a.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
Sing off those cheekbones, and definitely heavy on spraying. Oh
and you know what, also, gorgeous person, gorgeous skincare They
say you should refrigerate your skincare so it doesn't go bad.
Oh I didn't know this some of it at least.
So we're giving Killian the fridge, keep all the things
keeping killing looking aside, He's.

Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
Had all kinds of beautiful products in there.

Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
I think the problematic verse to Lorraine, because what a
fun wild card. And you know, I think because so beloved,
it would be.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
Fine, right, And she, like, at least fictionally, has a
history of dealing with problematic characters. Sure, you know she
really let Tony get things.

Speaker 4 (01:17:22):
Yeah, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
What is it with shows about therapists with no boundaries shrinking?

Speaker 4 (01:17:27):
I'm like, that's not right.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
I want a real boring therapist.

Speaker 4 (01:17:31):
Client with you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
No, that's on healthy you beat up someone in front
of your clients. No, it's unhealthy, and yet makes good
for good entertainment.

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
And we all knew she was falling for Tony. How
could you not fall for Tony?

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
How could you know Tony? Okay, this is a fun fact.
I was a child actor and I was driving to
a Law and Order audition, and I was at a
stoplight in New York City and I waved through the
window because I saw James Gandelfie and he rolled down
the window and he was like, how's your day And
I was like, I'm going to an audition and he goes,
You're gonna do great, so sweet, and then we rolled

(01:18:06):
up our windows and went about our lives.

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
I've never heard a bad thing about him.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
Oh, No, one tells the salt of the earth sweet.
And I was like eleven, and it just really meant
a lot a person, Okay. And then the inability to
trust Joe Jonas because Joe Jonas, Oh, because Nick Jonas
has the jealous song. Oh, and Joe Jonas feels left
out Joe Jonas jealous. No, I don't have brotherhood for

(01:18:34):
a second.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
No way they would let each other's.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
In fact, I think that they it was like a
Korean pop group.

Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
They're not real siblings. They were just put.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
Together they found very early on looking or they cloned
one of them.

Speaker 4 (01:18:48):
They all look so alike.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
They really they're also teeny tiny.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
Yeah, that's why I can't really, I would never be
able to separate them from each other. They kind of
just blurred together.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
And that's why I'm saying, let's let one of them
is not trusting, let's you know, let's link them even, right,
You're so a meshed? Is it n meshed? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
I think it's a meshed.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
Okay, well, because I said mshed, oh a meshed and
meshed and they're so n meshed.

Speaker 4 (01:19:10):
I don't know if you're supposed to hit the end
so hard they're so n meshed?

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
Yeah? Does that?

Speaker 4 (01:19:15):
But that those are my answers.

Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
I think that's played. I think that's absolutely perfectly played.

Speaker 4 (01:19:19):
Do I get eliminated if I answered them wrong?

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
This is more of a beautiful thought exercise. I wish
you're kind of a good person for this actual Oh god,
you're kind of the ideal candidate to give Killy and
Murphia miniature fridge.

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
Oh there is love and little mini Smeg fridge.

Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
Oh yeah, those are so classy looking.

Speaker 2 (01:19:36):
Is that Smeg or smag?

Speaker 3 (01:19:37):
Now that's Smeg?

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
Thank you all right? En meshed Smeg Shmeg fridge. I
think this is different.

Speaker 4 (01:19:45):
I got a Smeg fridge.

Speaker 3 (01:19:46):
Sorry, Okay, you played it perfectly, And now it's time
for the final segment of the podcast. I said no
emails people right into I said no gifts at gmail
dot com and beg for answers. Okay, sure, my listener,
their lives are tatters, tatters and ruins, and it's embarrassing
for me as a host, but I uh, just you

(01:20:06):
take what you can get it. And so they're write
and begging. And I'll also tell the listener right now,
if you want to send in suggestions for the gift
or a cursor Gift Master game, the email is always
the easiest.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
People. You've been begged so hard. I'm sure that you're
dying to send a question, and is your life in tatters,
then jump on.

Speaker 4 (01:20:26):
They're all losers.

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
So if you want to join the bandwagon, do some
free work. Honestly, that does get through to me begging.
Oh yeah, I'm about to send it. I'm an hold
on no listener.

Speaker 3 (01:20:41):
You can of course send them through Instagram, but you
know I have to get into the doc. I'm taking screenshots.
My life is becoming control. I've got enough on my plate.

Speaker 2 (01:20:50):
Gem.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
We're only for sliding in.

Speaker 3 (01:20:52):
If you want to hit on me, if you want
to comment on my body or say something disgusting, get into.

Speaker 4 (01:21:02):
Answer for formal sad questions.

Speaker 3 (01:21:07):
Okay, we're gonna answer a question. Sure, great, This is
Hello Bridger and mystery guest. That's a nice thing to
call you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
Although this question you were born mystery guest. Yeah, first name.

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
Although this question may seem trivial and is definitely giving
first world problems, I have to ask. I am the
middle sibling on both sides of my family, so I
acknowledge my middle child personality. I'm a middle child as well,
so in the same boat here, I know that I
have a tendency to feel slighted and less important than
my older and younger siblings. I own that, especially when

(01:21:44):
it comes to my older sister. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
She is a mar Marha Marsha Yeah, signed Jan Brady.

Speaker 4 (01:21:53):
I was like, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (01:21:54):
Really she is a very successful person with a magazine
worthy family. Her social Oh, I'm seeing a typo here
or social medial presence.

Speaker 4 (01:22:06):
She close the laptop. You can't proofread it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
You don't care about writing into this podcast.

Speaker 4 (01:22:12):
Fizzles because it's eight years old.

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
Oh, this looks like a newer one. This is brand new.

Speaker 3 (01:22:16):
Spoken her social media I'm editing as we go. Media
presence is filled with beautiful photos and witty, slash sincere,
slash well written captions.

Speaker 2 (01:22:28):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:22:29):
Since we are family and our children are of similar ages.
We attend the same family gatherings and have camera albums
full of the same photos. However, lately it seems like
there is an unspoken race to post our pictures. She
will often demand I sent her any pictures I have taken,
and then and then kraft her Instagram posts with something
hilarious and cute with pictures I have taken. In contrast,

(01:22:53):
I also have cute sea photos, but I am not timely,
I am not as active as she is, and have
given up trying due to feeling like mine are a
poor man's second hand picture post.

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
Poor man's secondhand picture post. That's a verse poor man's
secondhand picture posts. Let's send that to tish.

Speaker 3 (01:23:15):
It Also, it also looks like I have stolen her pictures,
when in reality she has taken mine.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
So wild simply this is giving jonas.

Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
This is definite inability to trust. Yes, how do I
tell her I am not interested in this photo album
race and caption contest? And then I don't want her
to constantly steal my pictures.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
I sibling, you're giving them to her. I don't take them.
This is great, but I get it. Sib shit is
no joke. Sibling stuff is real.

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
I know it seems like a silly thing to be aggravated. Well, okay,
I'm gonna read this verbatim. I know it seems like
a thing be aggravated about. So we're missing and make
an edit. Put that in there, do a little extra.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
Send it back to them with like the red red
marks underlines, like it's like you're an editor for the
New York Times. Thank you for your submission.

Speaker 4 (01:24:17):
Thank you for your submission. Here's where you went wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
You missed one word. Okay, I know it seems like
a silly thing to be aggravated about, but it's just
another notch in the belt for all the of the
other things she seems to do better than me. Please
help Debbie.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
Okay, Debbie, Well you've been laughed out of the podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:24:35):
I think Debbie's got a delete Instagram. All meant to
be on my friend got off, and you know, she's like,
I'm not meant for this, I'm not meant for Everyone's like,
She's like, it feels like a never ending rivalry between
me and the rest of the Internet. Right, I gotta
go live my life without feeling like I have to
capture it. I really relate in terms of like, I'll

(01:24:58):
go on trips, I'll see friends, I'll go do something epic,
and I forget to take a picture because Sean for
a bit, I'm present. But it is I get it.
I feel like there's inherent pressure.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
Every therapist is the first I'm sure at first meeting
they're telling people compare and despair. Yeah, get off of
the but we're all trapped, right, especially if you rely
on it professionally, right, gun to your head twenty four
hours a day.

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
Right, that's how they got to sign the petition. But
I also think maybe their sister's better. Skidding, totally kidding, No.

Speaker 3 (01:25:31):
I think Debbie, I think you need to Okay, first
of all, stop sending the pictures or put it. Let's
be honest, let's put.

Speaker 2 (01:25:37):
A water mark. Yeah, let's do Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:25:40):
Who is that? What's the company?

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:25:43):
That's usually a watermark on the pictures. Getty, we get.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
And make it a hundred dollars to have to buy, yes,
and then sue her. Sue this woman, children come.

Speaker 4 (01:25:56):
Take the firstborn style.

Speaker 3 (01:26:04):
Yeah. So that's one option. Okay, another option is there.
You're clearly setting a little trap for her, which is
send her the photo letter post first comment is I
took this.

Speaker 2 (01:26:15):
And then say pin this, pin this, keep writing pin
this until they pin it. Report and if they don't
do in forty eight hours, report the picture for inappropriate content,
and then you could you have the evidence, you can
send it to Instagram. Look, I took it first, and
to me, that feels healthy and balanced.

Speaker 3 (01:26:34):
Instagram will take you seriously. They take all of these.
Any report they take seriously, of course.

Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
And meanwhile, whatever her name is, Heather is now her
life is falling apart, and she's working even harder to
keep up appearances.

Speaker 3 (01:26:51):
She's begging you for more photos. Suddenly you're charging her.
You've started a little business of your own.

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
Idea, Debbie, make your main photo verified check so that
you look verified, and then talk about clout. I bet
he doesn't have that. Heather doesn't have a check mark.

Speaker 3 (01:27:09):
Heather isn't gonna know head from tails.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
That's she is gonna be destroyed.

Speaker 3 (01:27:14):
No, Debbie, I think your problem is absolutely valid.

Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
Your sister wants you dead, and you have sister's gonna
send an email in next week, next time.

Speaker 3 (01:27:25):
No, Debbie's gonna write under the name Heather, that's what's next,
and she's gonna try to make Heather look like she
has even more typos, right, and try to embarrass her. Right,
Debbie has already unfortunately already kind of exposed herself in
the biggest possible.

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
It was very exposing. Yes, but you know what, I love, Debbie,
and I get it. I get it. When I, my
sister and I were kids, the running you know you
that thing you would do to just go, I would say,
we would say to each other, you think you're so cool,
but you look so dumb. And to these days, to
this day, those words haunt me, of course.

Speaker 3 (01:28:00):
Waking. Yeah, Debbie, you are in a bad situation, and
we feel for you. Emancipate yourself from your sister who
lives in another house, emancipate her children from her. Just
do anything you can to kind of rougher up.

Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
Debbie. Have you seen the film Sliver? I think that's
what you need to start there and just follow whatever
you see in Slipper.

Speaker 3 (01:28:27):
That's right, Well, we answered the question perfectly, Debbie. Don't
write back in unless your Heather.

Speaker 4 (01:28:33):
Debbie, don't write back.

Speaker 3 (01:28:34):
In looking forward to Heather's email.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
Do people ever write back to your response?

Speaker 3 (01:28:40):
On occasion? And I block report block of immediately change emails.

Speaker 4 (01:28:48):
No, you're like Chapel, No, don't interact.

Speaker 3 (01:28:53):
Chapel took that from me.

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
That makes sense.

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
Chapel wrote into me, and my response she goes, wait,
you can do that. It's onto something here. We're gonna
block everybody, chap will reach out. Well, I'm so happy
to have these life changing serums and this beard which
trying to become a cape.

Speaker 4 (01:29:13):
There's so many things you can do with it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:15):
I mean, my chest is covered in sweat.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
Now you look like like the superhero of comfort, flying
through the class the tooth Fairy, and you just like
make people's threat count higher.

Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
I'm cutting off the tooth Fairy and traffic right.

Speaker 4 (01:29:30):
You upgrade their temper pedis.

Speaker 3 (01:29:32):
Yeah. Well, I've had such a wonderful time with you.
To thank you for being here, even despite a dog emergency.

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
Oh yeah, of course, fuck that guy. I love my dog.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
Uh, listener, the podcast is over. I've got to you know,
cool down, refresh my sad.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
No, I gotta change my shirt. Yeah, we've all got
We're all gonna change right here in front.

Speaker 4 (01:29:53):
Of the cold swamper.

Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
Right now, there's a better use. Send this episode to
your father when.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
You will I need to hear it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:01):
Yeah, listener, the episodes over, move on, I love you, goodbye.
I said, No Gifts is an exactly right production. Our
senior producer is on Alisa Nelson, and our episodes are
beautifully mixed by Ben Holliday. The theme song is by

(01:30:22):
Miracle Worker Amy Mann, and we couldn't do it without
our booker, Patrick Cottner. You must follow the show on
Instagram at I said no Gifts, that's where you're going
to see pictures of all these wonderful gifts I'm getting.
And don't you want to see the gifts I invit?

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
Did you hear fun?

Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
A man myself perfectly clear? When you're a guest to Ma,
you gotta come to me empty, And I said, no guests,
your presences, presents, and I already had too much stuff,
