Speaker 1 (00:17):
So we have talked many times on this podcast to
our dear listeners about how traveling with Danielle is an
interesting experience because she gets recognized everywhere. It's like you're
traveling with Lady Gaga or somebody like that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I mean, it's just recognized everywhere you go.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And you know, with that, along with that, this beautiful
symbiotic relationship of I don't get recognized ever anywhere, no
matter what it takes, you know, my friends two or
three glances before they realize.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It may stop.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
And so we're we're up at the Shire this weekend,
which I'm sure we will also talk about, and as
we were on the plane yesterday, we land and it's
the three of us lining up in a line.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
In a row to edit the aircraft.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I'm sorry, Danielle, myself and Jensen's husband of us all uh,
And so it goes Danielle, Jensen, then myself and we're
all waiting to open.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
The doors finally open.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
There's this very nice young steward there and the door opens,
flight attendant.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
The door opens, and I hear, Oh, Danielle, I just.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Want to thank you so much for my entire high
school journey, just and Daniel's like.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh my god, that's so sweet.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Thank you, Danielle. I may I shake your hand.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I just want to thank you for all of my
high school years.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
And it was like, oh, thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
So much sweet.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
And then I hear Jensen step up and Jensen, I
want to thank you so much for the podcast. That
was Jensen's like, oh, well, that's really sweet. And then
I step up and he goes, thank you. I was
just the third guy on the plane. It was like goodbye,
thanks for being on the flight.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
A podcast and those Gensen.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
He turned to Jensen turned to me. He's like, no,
I'm getting recognized more than you.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
So they ask you to hold the camera to take
a picturel there he is speaking of the.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
Famous Listen, it's not my fault that there's lesions of
fans of mine. You do travel with basically a human
Teddy rucksman. Everyone who sees her is like, oh my god,
she's out and about. She's my childhood. But you know,
if I get some of the runoff, I'm sorry, Will.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
That's that's fine. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I am apparently not doing this for fame or fortune.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I am doing it because of your friends.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
All is I want to make sure everyone recognizes.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You, y'all, and you're having a great time, so choose
that flight attendant.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I am never flying the last Airlines.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Again, that's not true. It was actually a wonderful flight,
and it was a perfectly nice guy. But it was like, yeah, nice, thanks.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
My favorite part of the whole of the whole flight
home was that then when we landed and the pilot
came out, Will.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Goes, Oh my gosh, the pilot looks seventeen.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
I looked up at him and he was so young,
and the flight attendant was so young, and we were like,
are we really that old?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yet everyone else looks so young.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Let the kids fly the plane.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I can't believe your children.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I also didn't want to scare you and Jensen yesterday
because I definitely didn't want to tell you this because
you might not have been able to get on the flight.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh my god, where their spider I forgot.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
My Spider Man underwear. I was in regular underwear on
the flight yesterday.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know how the plane even got off the ground.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, but we're safe, we're here.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Were you were you in your proper undipants for when
we landed and had to go back up in the air.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yes, oh okay, so honestly you had a better flight.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Without to think about that.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Now I'm trying to think about how the flight there
wasn't that great. Captain America didn't help too much.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
But regular Hanes, Yeah, not a bomb, not a bum.
I think you should just attach a cape to your Hanes.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I also, can anybody else explain to me why the
flight there was two and a half hours but the
flight home took twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Can anybody and we figured that one out?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Please?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It was a very fast flight.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
It was super quick.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
We guys were flying in during the cyclone bomb store, so.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
That is true.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
We flew during a storm that was described by the.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
New York Times as a bomb hitting the West coast.
We had all seen it. We were like, let's talk
about it till we're on the ground.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And then I took a couple of tries to get
on the ground.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yes, it is, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It was a little sporty flying in, but flying back
was the best part about the flight back. Nobody recognized me.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
It was nice and quiet. It was just really wonderful.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Anonymous will I was just.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Seat four c Yeah, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
Bo.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
Also, while we were in Uh in Writer's hometown, we
ended up walking by this bar uh and they have
like arcade games in it, and everyone walked in and
it felt like a group of kind of famous people
in a weird way. There was like a camera following us,
and the woman goes, oh, look at you guys, what
are you some type of band? Are you here on tour?
(05:22):
And everyone's like in Writer and we are like no, no,
and she's like, you know, okay, and the kind of
leave and then they take off and then Danielle walks
by just the door and she goes, bang, don't.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Really once again she's like are you guys? What did
you say? You were like, well, what would our band
name be?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
And she was just like the strokes stroke right, Okay,
they're really old. I was like, we just I was like,
I guess I looked around. I was like yeah, because
you were wearing like your trench coat and I like
a beanie and I was like, oh, yeah, we totally
do we look like a sad dad.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Band or we look like a bunch of guys about
to have strokes, which.
Speaker 9 (06:00):
Anyone toast.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah, welcome to pod Meets World.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I'm Daniel Fischel, I'm right strong.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And I'm seat four C.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I'm Wilfredell.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
So, whether it has been a natural deodorant, or fantasy
book trilogies or foreign film endorsements, over the past two
and a half years, we have dropped little gems here
and there about some of our favorite things, and you
have responded positively, even asked for more.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And so this holiday shopping season.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Your friends at pod Meets World have decided to release
a little bonus gift guide worth noting. None of our
picks are involved in a sponsorship of the podcast. I
even avoided talking about tile Track, even though I bought
them for everyone in my family.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
By way, they weren't supposed to be sponsors.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
They cannot be sponsors.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Oh god, okay, well then all right, it was just
two different kinds of dais okay, all right, no problem.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I had Hundais and see Candy Seebler. Why can't I say,
Keeler Sandler.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Sandy days and Keeler Sandy's are what I was going
to do?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Okay, stop, now we've turned to this is not an
ad into an ad.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Okay, So these.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Are all selections we have earnestly made and maybe one
or more can help you find something for a loved
one or even just yourself who cares.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Wrap it, put it under the tree. You deserve it.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
So we will each pick two things, even Producer Jensen,
and then briefly chat about them. And then we have
a very special guest joining us to give us one
more recommendation. You will not want to miss that, And
so here we go with the first annual Pod meets
World Gift Guide. Now, writer, I'm gonna let you go first,
(08:09):
because now that I know Will was just going to
recommend two different Hyundais, he needs some more time.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I'll take some time. I'll take some time. Gift okay, Okay, Well,
so this is hard. You know, I'm not a big
fan of stuff.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
I don't and I always try and buy, you know,
gifts for people that are as much catered to them
and their personality as possible. And then I also like
to give experiences if I can, like y you know. Okay,
So taking all that into account, I have two book recommendations.
I figured it'd be good to offer up book thoughts,
okay for people who either are a reader or have
(08:45):
that reader in their life. So I have two recommendations
based on what type of reader you might be giving
a gift to, and then I have one that's more
of an experienced gift.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
So the books i'd recommend.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
First up for if you have a true crime fan
in your life or somebody who's like you know, and
I figure we have podcast listeners. It's a lot of
true crime podcast listeners among our listeners too.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I am definitely one.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Of those people. I devour all of that stuff. I
love mysteries. This isn't true crime, but it's a great
novel that came out this year, so I wanted to
recommend something contemporary and popular.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
This book is.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Called God of the Woods by Liz Moore. It came
out I think this summer, maybe the spring. I read
it this summer, and it's just it's a really it's big.
It's long, but it's actually very quick reading. And so
if you like true crime stuff, it's sort of true
crime adjacent. It's set in the nineteen seventies and the
(09:43):
nineteen fifties. It kind of jumps through time periods, so
it has like this really propulsive mystery. It's a summer
camp it's nineteen seventy five, we talked about one of
these campers were racing, and so it starts within the
mind of one of the counselors who discovers the missing
camper and is responsible for that camper, and then it
starts jumping through time to when the missing camper actually
(10:07):
had a brother who also disappeared ten years before, so
it becomes this whole and then her family who lives
on the property. It's this wealthy family that lives on
the property next door as part of the actually owns
the property that is on the camp So there's like.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Such deep history.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
So it starts as this sort of pretty straightforward great
crime of you know, solving the mystery of where she is,
becomes a deep dive into these characters. And what I
really love about this book as opposed to a lot
of other crime books that I've read recently, it really
gets into the issue of class. You know, I think
a lot of times in crime, classes just gets erased.
(10:43):
You know, it's just like, oh, it's it's a parlor
game of who did it?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Where's this? This book?
Speaker 6 (10:49):
And also gender, this book primarily only centers on female characters,
including the detective who's hired to or who's charged with
investigating the case. She's like a young female detective, first
time taking on a case, so she's trying to figure
out how to.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Be a good detective. It's so fun.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
It's yeah, it's dark, of course because it's a crime thing.
But highly recommend and of course you know, I'm a
big fan of summer camps and.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
The woods, so it has lots of that, lots.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Of history and yeah, so big recommendation for anybody who
you know who likes crime.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
That's a great one to give them.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Before you move on to your second book recommendation, give
us the name of that book one more time.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
God of the Woods by Liz Moore.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
God of the Woods by Liz Moore, great suggestion. I'm
going to pick that up.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I to Sue will love that. She loves that crime stuff.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
And then my other book recommendation is for the reader
in your life who has probably read everything, For the
person who you know likes books and likes literature but
you just have no idea what to get them. This
is a book that I only read five years ago
or so, and I've been singing it to praises ever
since because I think it's a missed masterpiece. It's called
A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes. It came
out in nineteen twenty nine, so it is more classical.
(12:01):
It has like an it's set in the nineteenth century.
It has an adventure quality to it. It also has
a childlike quality to it. It's sort of in the
vein of like Peter Pan and Huck Finn, but much darker.
So it's about a family in Jamaica right after it's
gotten independence, and it's an English family and they decide
(12:21):
because the storm comes through and you know, ruins their house,
they decide to send their children.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
There's like four kids. They decide to send them on
a boat back home to England.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
And when that boat departs and the parents go back
to their plantation in Jamaica, they find out that the
boat was actually captured by pirates. And then the rest
of the book is these kids on this boat, their
parents think they're dead, and it's their journey with these pirates.
And so it has this sense of like like like
Peter Panny, sort of like.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Oh, this is exciting, what's it like to be a
kid on a pirate ship?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
But it quickly gets dark and interesting and complicated, but
always maintains this level of fun.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
So and like I said, it's it's one of these
books that I can't believe I.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Never encountered all through my college, you know, literature education
or postgraduate like all of it. I never And when
I found this, I was like, oh, this is the
book that like needs needs recognition again. So if you
have a reader in your life who likes classic literature
and good adventure stories, they probably haven't read this book.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
And I would highly recommend it.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Thank you for two great book recommendations. That's not your
total recommendation. You have a second recommendation, but we are
going to do it a little like draft style. So
now we're going to move to Will for his first
gift recommendation.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
All right, So Hyundai six is out ionic.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
No, so I have gone kind of theme this year.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Okay, So the.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
First one I'm going to do is a wonderful addition
to any kitchen for anybody who loves to cook, especially
loves to cook in the oven, or loves to cook
on usmoker or a grill.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And it is called a meter thermometer.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Oh yeah, they are wonderful So the cool thing about
the meter is it can hook right to your phone
and you put it in the turkey, put it in
the hand, put it in the brisket, whatever you want,
throw it on the grill, and then your phone tracks
the temperature the entire time, so it'll say like it's
time to pull your whatever, it's time to take it out.
(14:25):
They're really really great. They're like little probes like that
big it's bluetooth, right, it is bluetooth and wireless and
all the other thing, and it's just it is such
a cool addition to anybody who likes to cook in
any kitchen because it is accurate, it's easy to use,
which is important because you get some of these things
that are wireless or bluetooth where I don't know how
to do half this stuff, but this one.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Is very simple.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Can spell the meter.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
It is spelled m e A T. Let me make
sure I have it right.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
So meat like meat e emy M.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
It is eat e r t er.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
And they're actually on sale right now.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
They're again not super cheap, but you're not gonna spend
thousands of dollars, but it's they're great. So the anybody
who likes cooking especially meat. This is a good addition to.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Your kitchen, a way to make sure your meat is
never overdone or underdone.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
And and one that you don't you know, as long
as you have your phone with you, which everybody does,
or my watch right then you're I'm walking around and
it's like, oh, hey, that's what the temperature is in
the oven right now, I gotta go check whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
So it's really really great. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Okay, great idea. Now let's go to Jensen for his
first gift idea.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
Hi everybody, Hey, Hi, I recognize you. Yeah, I do
you need some help with you? And fortunately, my first
pick is something for our listeners who I know. We
have a really big kind of vendiagram transition with Disney parks,
whether it's the La Disneyland or Orlando's disney World. And
(16:17):
so I think, and I think you guys might agree
with me, that the official shirts that they sell at
Disney parks are pretty bad. They're the ones that say
like spoiled but the s has like the Disney Fonte.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, Okay, So.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
I think those are all pretty corny. So there's an
entire subgenre of quote unquote bootleg Disney Park merch that
you can wear when you go to the parks and
not feel like you're wearing something that everyone is wearing,
something that's like a little more artsy and a little
more obscure. Does that clock with you guys at all?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:56):
Okay, So there are three different companies that I'm going
to suggest all three of them do them in very
limited times, Like you won't see all of their stuff
on their website or their Instagram. You just have to
kind of follow along and when the shirts become available,
you just have to jump on them at the time.
So the first company is called Single Writer and the
(17:17):
instagram is SI n G L e R I d
e R nineteen seventy four. You'll see their website there
when you go to the Instagram. And like, these shirts
are not your typical Haunted Mansion type of shirts. For example,
Single Writer has shirts for the Bugs Life three D show,
(17:37):
also for Alien Encounter.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
They have a shirt for the People Mover.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
They have a shirt for Rafiki's Planet Watch, which is
so obscure I didn't know what it was. And so
they have like different ones every month. But in this way,
you go to the park, and you're not just kind
of like a weird billboard. You actually have like artsy,
kind of hip T shirts that revolve around things that like,
(18:03):
if you know, you know, kind of fan things. So
one of the other companies is Fantasy Feelings. This one's
a little harder to send you to on Instagram, but
it's at Fantasy and then a bunch of underscores together Feelings.
I don't know how many underscores, but their website is
just Fantasy Feelings dot com. They have shirts for the
Enchanted Tiki Bar, the Indiana Jones, Stunt Spectacular yea, and
(18:27):
a couple of these sites also have shirts for Universal Studios,
so you'll see like Horror Nights or the Jaws Ride.
Those things like that might pop up as well. And
then lastly is Magic Kingdom. And this one's spelled very Strange,
which is at Magic Kingdom magic dot Kingdom, but Magic
is spelled m A g I c K dot Kingdom,
(18:49):
so m A g I c K. Their website will
be there on the Instagram and for example, they just
put up a big thunder Mountain shirt where do you knows?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Right?
Speaker 7 (18:58):
And then they have a T shirt for Muppet Vision,
which is in the news this week because they've decided
to remove the Muppet ip from the three D show
and they're gonna put I think Monsters inc In and
then now Muppet Vision gets the or the Muppets get
the roller coaster. But like these, they'll do T shirts
for Tower of Terror, which is obviously dated from Disneyland.
(19:19):
They'll do things for old rides and old movies, things
you just won't see in the parks. And I think
that Disney Parks Merches is very much lacking in individuality
and any sort of true fan service. And so these
are companies that deliver limited edition. I think they're in
between somewhere like thirty and forty five dollars. And it's
(19:41):
a fun follow at least on Instagram to check it out.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Wow, I love that you much are the king of
T shirts. If anyone who doesn't know Jensen gets stopped
for his T shirts all.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
The time, yeah, correct, Yeah, I'm a big T shirt guy.
I think it's one of the last true possibilities for individuality. Like,
you know, you walk up to someone and the first
thing they see in a lot of cases is your
graphic T shirt. And so I think why would you
wear something that just everyone has, and so this really
falls into that, into that mind frame.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Great, it's really cool.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
I was at writers for obviously we all hung out
recently and I wore a very obscure T shirt that
a couple of people realized and said something about, which
was theme park related as well, which was a T
shirt of the commercial from six Flags Magic Mountain of
the old man who did.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
So.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I found a shirt of that guy that they used
to sell at Magic Mountain, and I just like that
kind of feeling of I can't believe they made a
shirt for that guy. So that's that's my that's my run,
that's your vibe.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
All right, that's a good first gift.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Okay, So my first gift is something that is I
highly recommend for both men and and I don't know
that I've stressed it properly enough to my two dear
friends and co hosts here the importance of two things,
sunscreen and properly cleaning your face.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Sunscreen.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
We should all know by now sunscreen you should be
wearing if you're not gonna wear it all over your
entire body, because you're wearing clothes most of the time
and you don't let your body see the sun that much, Okay,
but please wear sunscreen on your face at the very least.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I don't think either of my co hosts, no nor
my husband wear sunscreen.
Speaker 10 (21:33):
No.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
If you do, though, wear sunscreen, it can be one
of the hardest things to wash off.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
And you don't necessarily know that it's hard to wash off,
but it just it is. So if you're just washing
your face, or you're not even really washing your face.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Like I suspect two of my co hosts here regularly
go to bed, maybe without even splashing water on their face,
removing sunscreen can be difficult. I wear sunscreen religiously, and
I also wear at least a little bit of makeup
almost every day, whether that's a tinted moisturizer or a
CCA cream or something. And I started about two years ago.
(22:13):
Double cleansing my face sounds odd, but what is it.
You start with one type of cleanser, an oil cleanser. Again,
most people hear what you're going to wash your face
with oil, and it sounds weird, and it is a
little weird the first time you do it, But after
(22:34):
you do it and you feel the difference and you
see the difference in your skin after double cleansing and
using an oil wash an oil cleanser.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
You will not be able to go back.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
So my first recommendation for you is an oil cleanser
called DHC. It's actually DHC Deep cleansing oil and it
comes in a pump, which is amazing because that's very
easy to use at your sink. You start with dry
skin and dry hands, so fully dry face, sunscreen, on makeup,
on whatever. If I'm wearing mascara, I use two full
(23:07):
pumps of the oil. If I'm not wearing mascara, I
only need to use one. But you pump it into
your hand, rub it in between your hands, rub it together,
get it nice and warm, and then massage your face.
You don't have to rub aggressively, you don't have to
pull and tug at your skin. You just rub it
onto your skin, ideally for thirty seconds to a minute,
and then put your hands under warm water and rinse
(23:30):
the oil off with warm water. It strips all the
sunscreen off your face, all the makeup off your face,
and you are now kind of starting with a blank slate.
And then you can use your second normal face wash,
whatever that is. I cannot recommend this enough. I recently
did a picture with Dan Housen that I put on
(23:52):
my social media where I painted my face in Dan Housen,
the wrestler's makeup. It was all white makeup all over
my face, tons of black in the sockets of my eyes.
And after I did the makeup application and Dan Housen
and I took our picture together, he said, well, good
luck taking that off. He said, it's truly a nightmare.
(24:13):
I cannot stand taking it off. It takes me forever.
It's multiple washes. And I said, huh, I don't think
it's going to be a problem. I've got this oil cleanser.
I bet it's going to come right off. Sure enough,
it took me no more than two minutes to fully
wash all that makeup off my face.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
So the next day I did. The next day, I
went to him and I said, listen, I'm about to
change your life. And I showed it to him.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
And the greatest thing about it to me is that
it is not expensive, will last you a very long time.
Your skin will feel good after, it will be healthier.
It's moisturizing, especially if you've dry skin or during this
time of year, where everything is just so dry. Highly
highly highly recommend starting a double cleans and starting it
with DHC Cleansing Oil. So that's my first pick. Great,
(24:56):
now we can go back to writer. It's Writer's turn
for his second pick.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
So I, like I said, I like giving experiences or
things that you can enjoy together or you know, hopefully
they somebody will go on to have great experiences with what.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
You give them.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
And so I was trying to think what the best game,
the best board game that I have discovered to play
with my son and my wife and friends or whatever.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
And there's a series of games.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
There's two that I will directly recommend, but in general,
this whole Funko Games makes a series of games based
on movies, like classic movies, and they pick some obscure
ones like Rear Window, you know movies that you were like, what,
there's a game, a board game, but they do so
much good research. And the one that I would recommend
that I've played a lot is the Back to the
(25:43):
Future board game.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
It is so much fun.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
It is basically the board is Hill Valley and then
it's a cooperative game, so you either play Marty or
Doc or Einstein. The dog and Jennifer, Marty's girlfriend, and
then you you end up back in time and you
basically have to recreate the plot of the movie. But
the game has made it so like there's a there's
(26:07):
a board on one side that is the photograph of
Marty as he disappears.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
And so like that's the time clock, like as you're
running out of time.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
If you don't get things right, you have to get
Georgian Elaine to kiss at the dance at the right time,
otherwise you disappear.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
It is so much fun.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
It's basically a way to be inside the movie with
your family and like, you know, if you've already watched
the movie, it's a way to like re enjoy it
again together and like you know, fail or succeed. It's
so much fun. And then the other one that I
would recommend is actually not made by Funko Games. It's
made by Ravensburg Rabsburger.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
What's that's a word, Ravensburger.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Ravensburger. Okay, they make a Jaws board game that is
so much fun. It's divided into two acts. The first
act is the island, and one of you is the
shark and the other the other two or three of
you are people on characters from the movie in the
on the island, and it's basically like battleship, Like the
person who's the shark is going around trying to eat
swimmers around Amityville or Amity Ambity Island, and then there's
(27:06):
all the other players are trying to catch the shark.
That's act one. So one of you wins are lose
is based on and then you flip the board over
and then you are on the boat like at the
end of the movie and you're trying to do with
the shark.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Yeah, it is so much fun. You don't even have
to play both both acts.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
You could just play the first act as like a
standoff game, a standalone game. It is so much fun
and it's just been a great way. Like you know, obviously,
if you're a listener of Podmeets World, if you like
things from your childhood or movies or TV shows and
you want to find a way to engage with those,
like fictional universes, you can't get better than these board games.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Do you have to be to play?
Speaker 6 (27:44):
I started playing the Back to the Future one with
Indy when he was like eight seven or eight, but
maybe that was a little too early. I think they're
mostly ten plus around, but yeah, it's more and because
they're retro, a lot of them are based on like
eighties movies. There's one that's more of a role play
game based on the Goonies, which is really good, but
it's a little more like actual dungeons and Dragons, So
(28:05):
I would because you know, the hard thing with board
games I find is like, because I'm like a geek,
I love like complicated board games, but in getting people
who don't normally geek out on board games to play
complicated board games can be so a lot because it's like, oh,
that's twenty minutes, we got to read the rules, we
got to watch a video on how to play. And
I find that with these games, because they're based in
movies that everybody already kind of knows. You kind of
(28:27):
know what your goals are, you know what the story is,
and that story will pull people through the complicated rules
to get.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Started, you know what I mean. They're like, oh, we'll
get to be the shark, so how do I do that?
Speaker 6 (28:37):
And it's like so these That's why I think these
are sort of like gateway board games because they're not,
you know, because you recommend Settlers of Catan and people
are like, wait, what you know? But if you say, well,
well let's play this Jaws based board game, it can be.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
So much fun. So highly recommend as a gift.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I love an idea for the whole family. Yeah, Will,
what's your second pick?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It's a vacation away from your family.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Oh no, I always to that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Actually mine is family based as well, kind of because
it's fun for the whole family. And we're staying on
theme because I bought myself one and have just been
loving it. But there's different versions of it, so if
you don't want to spend a ton of money, you
can spend less money and get a smaller version. So
I am, of course talking about the Blackstone grill, which
(29:27):
is a flat top Hibachi grill. You can get one
like a camping size one that's twenty two inches. That's
only it's like under one hundred bucks. You can get
then all the way up to you know, the giant
mac Daddy's, which are still only like two hundred and
forty five bucks, So it's not like you're spending one
thousand dollars on a grill. There, it's your you have
(29:47):
your own straight uphibachi at your house. It's the best
smash burgers. You're making great for breakfasts. I was doing
great breakfast. Breakfast is huge, fried rice like all the
kind of like straight.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
So they make camping versions.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, it's a twenty two inch camping version. It's all
obviously hooked up to get to gas. But it is
just it so much fun. We cook on it all
the time.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
How long do you think it'll take me to learn
how to do the volcano?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
You could do the volcano pretty quick in volcano, Yeah,
you could do the volcano.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
What's going to be harder is me learning the rest
of the show, like juggling the fire and flipping the strip.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Into my hat and all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
That's the longest part because they make it all the
hibachi tricks.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I could do all the hibachi tricks. I want to
get there, but it is it is so much. The
first night we came home, you have to like you
have to season the grills. You know, it's turning it
on in fifteen minute increments and then putting all this
oil on it. And so we just wanted to make
our first smash burgers and we couldn't believe just the crispy, nutty,
amazing awesomeness that it was.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Is that your favorite thing that you've made on it
so far? Smash burger?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
The smash burgers were great.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
The first one wasn't great only because it was our fault,
like we didn't season the meat the right way.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
We're still like learning our meat and should you use butter?
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Should you not use butter?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
So the second one that we did was phenomenally good,
but the fried rice was great. We had our had
our day old rice and Susan had made pork tenderloin
the night before, so we still had half a pork
tenderloin left, so we cut.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
All that up.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
That's back on the in the day old rice with
all the tariaki sauce.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
Never.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I mean, it was really good, and you feel like
a grill master because you when you get the kit
that comes with it, You've got the giant smash burger
thing like the professional one, and then you've got the
two big spatula things that they use at this so
you're like, yeah, making all the sounds and you're doing,
you know, moving all the stuff around.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Okay, let's start a YouTube channel.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
Go get a YouTube channel right now, Grillfordell and start
the videos. Great, I want to see you learning how
to do hobo, so I want you to I want
to see all the like where you toss it up,
spin and grab it.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
And I told you about the cooking show that I
wanted to do that I actually pitched somewhere and they're like,
I don't know. It was called Will meets Grill, And
what it is is there's all these grilling shows out there,
but none that really teach you how to do it.
So the concept of the show, which people liked at
the time they were like, yeah, we're not doing this,
is I would put every season, I'd pick one meet,
(32:15):
so like the first season it was Ribs, and you'd
start in Connecticut or Massachusetts or California, wherever it is.
And I had six weeks to get to an actual
grilling competition.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
And from Connecticut that's a long horseback ride.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Six weeks to get there, but on the drive down,
I'd be stopping at every pitmaster along the way to
teach me how to make them. So by the time
I made I got to the competition, I would at
least have a chance of figuring out how to do it. So, yeah,
the first season's ribs, the second season's brisket, all that stuff.
But maybe I'll just do it Habachi style. And I
got to put the show together, though. I got to
(32:53):
put a great show, because again, the last one we saw.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Watching you trying to learn habai is the show you
actually failing at habachi.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
You would be way more fun.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
No fired, fail with no fire for us.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
That's got Grilfordell.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Those grills a trademark that now TM Grilfordell.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
So that's it.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Go check out the Blackstone products. They're really good.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
You don't have to spend a ton, and I promise
you you are going to be so happy with the product.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Amazing. All right, let's go to Jensen for his second pick.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
So my second pick here is someone that I think
Danielle and I both stumbled upon during the pandemic and
I've still stayed a fan. It's called Mexic Kitsch Art
by l rod Uh and it's awesome. It's spelled m
e x a k I T s c H on
Instagram and the same for their website, which is just
(33:41):
Mexic kitch dot com and it's uh. The artist's name
is Leanne L. Rod Rodriguez. She was born in Riverside,
now lives in this Sacramento area, and she creates these
resin sculptures that resemble your grandma's favorite like church pot
luck jello dish, so it'll be like cool, yeah, and
she'll do them for other vintage foods like TV dinners.
(34:04):
She'll make sculptures and lamps. Lamps are kind of the
coolest thing she does of these intricate jello molds and
Fiesta gelatins. Fiesta gelatins are like almost like a jello
cake and you can see inside the jello, so like
inside the jello or little pieces of marshmallow or whatever,
and they're so good. And she is well known for
(34:24):
her Deviled Egg clocks, which are like these clocks and
every hour has a sculpture devil egg on them. And
then she also recently started doing tiki drinks sculptures of
tiki drinks and they all look very real and very cool.
And if you're into like campy stuff for the holidays
a gift for someone, these are just perfect Christmas parfe
(34:45):
sculptures and the range of price and these are all
basically kind of one of a kind. Some are small runs,
but sixty five dollars is the lowest I found for
a mini sculpture, and all the way up to four
hundred for the more intricate stuff. But it's awesome, and
she sends out emails to tell you when she's doing drops,
(35:06):
and uh, if you've ever had a grandma who made
jell o, man, this is probably the most nostalgia you'll
ever have.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Thank Yeah, while we've been talking, I ordered a big
thunder Mountain Railroad.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Did you. Oh my god, Yes, it's so cool.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Oh my god, that's so great.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Okay, so my second pick I was also after you
guys know how I feel about art, But I was
going to recommend and I'm still going to drop a
plug for a very cute little idea. An artist named
oh so Nerdy O H S E W N E
r d Y. That's his website is OsO nerdy dot com.
(35:53):
He does little cross stitch and he takes orders and
you can customize a little cross stitch for a person
in your life. We have several of them to commemorate
fun moments in our life Jensen.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
And I have made.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
We have a drop the mic cross stitch back from
when Jensen was the executive producer of Dropped the mic.
We have a cross stitch that says meat and pee
that's based on a funny conversation we had about Pistizzi.
It's a really cute, very personalized gift that you can
give to somebody and they're not very expensive. But that's
not my gift idea. My gift idea is, actually, I
(36:32):
kind of had to.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
I would have done art. I mean I would have
done it if had Jensen's other one not been art related.
I wasn't going to give you two art suggestions. That's
enough art.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
So my second gift idea is the Ember mug. And
the Ember mug is perfect for any hot beverage drinker
in your life, especially a hot beverageker who has children,
because if you have children and you wake up in
(37:05):
the morning and you like a hot beverage, you know
what it's like and how many times you have to
reheat that same beverage because you put it down, you're
helping them get dressed, you're doing something else, you get distracted.
That thing's in and out of the microwave a million times.
With the Ember mug, it will keep your beverage the
exact perfect temperature to your liking for hours. It comes
(37:30):
with a little tray. You charge your Ember mug on
the tray. Then when you wake up and you make
your beverage you use, you take the mug off the charger.
You can set it to the temperature that you like,
so not too hot, not too cold. You pour your
coffee or your tea into it and you do not
have to worry about reheating it for the rest of
the morning.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
They make travel sizes, they make home mugs. I have
the home mug. I don't usually take my beverages to go,
so I just have one that I use at home,
and I absolutely love it.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
They are currently on sale twenty five percent off, but
their regular price is one for ninety five for the
fourteen ounce Ember mug and uh yeah, highly recommend it.
My dad got it for me a couple of years
ago and it is it just doesn't miss so awesome. Right, Well,
that concludes our gift recommendations, but we do have a
(38:26):
very special guest coming to give us a tip about
where we should also go for some holiday shopping. So
let's please welcome to the podcast. Bonnie and Bill daniels.
Speaker 8 (38:44):
I can't say are we Oh there we are.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
You look wonderful.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
So good to see you, guys, Well, so good to
see you.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Listen, I are.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
We are doing a wonderful gift guide for every one
of our listeners of places they could go, thoughtful gifts
they could get the people in their lives. And so
we wanted to have you on because I understand that
you guys have opened the Bill and Bonnie Daniels shop,
which is available on Etsy, and it is filled with
(39:20):
some incredible gift ideas for the boy meets.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
World fan in your life.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Now.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Bill is ninety seven, Bonnie is ninety five.
Speaker 5 (39:29):
Tell us about where this idea came from for you
guys to start an Etsy shop.
Speaker 11 (39:35):
Well, I think it was actually my son Rob is
running the shop in New York. Great, but it was
really his idea, and I thought it was a great
idea because we get so many requests and we're pestered
and that's okay, you know, but it takes a lot
of time and we're not that good efficient anymore, and
(39:57):
so we thought we'd put it all in one place
because we don't.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Do so many of the conventions conventions anymore.
Speaker 11 (40:04):
We haven't been doing them for a while and we
will go back to them when we feel up to it.
But I thought that was a great idea. So we
signed a lot of pictures and books and stuff and
he's got them and then he'll send them.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Out to people wonderful well to put it on.
Speaker 8 (40:25):
He's the one that wanted to put it on the
st as a store.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
I love it well to give people a little bit
of an idea.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
There is an autographed copy of Bill's memoir available for
sixty dollars. Also, Bonnie's memoir is available on there as well.
There are autographed pictures of mister Feenie and Dean Bolander,
and you can get a William Daniels autographed seventeen seventy
six playbook. Plus there is also an adorable shirt of
(40:55):
Bill and Bonnie in a drawing that says for better
or Worse and.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
The art was done by their granddaughter Shanas.
Speaker 8 (41:02):
Yes, Shana's does the t shirts. And there's that fun
one from Golden Girls.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Oh yes, your Golden Girls shirt too.
Speaker 8 (41:12):
That's that you can get. That you can get, And
we're putting a lot of special things, like I found
a lot of ties, you know that Bill.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
Moore on the show.
Speaker 9 (41:23):
On the one before that, elsewhere and elsewhere and from
the lou Ritter store, which is and they all that
was a men's store that had a lot of catered
to all the biggies.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
I get to own history.
Speaker 8 (41:41):
I'm going to.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
In my collection. That's too cool, the tie that.
Speaker 8 (41:48):
He wore on a certain show. But I don't know that.
I would be too much research for me.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
A lot of research, for sure.
Speaker 8 (41:56):
That's a lot of research.
Speaker 5 (41:58):
So Bill and Bonnie, do you guys still exchange gifts
at Christmas?
Speaker 10 (42:03):
What?
Speaker 3 (42:03):
What are your what are your holiday traditions as far
as gifts go?
Speaker 8 (42:07):
How long since you've given me a gift?
Speaker 10 (42:12):
Give me a second?
Speaker 8 (42:16):
No. But what we do is we'll we'll say, Uh,
for instance, I bought an expensive.
Speaker 11 (42:25):
Bike that I've put in the bedroom. Okay bedroom, I
can just put whatever I can and I do that,
and that's my Christmas that's Christmas Christmas present. So we
tend to do that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yeah, perfect, I love that.
Speaker 8 (42:43):
Oh and you know what else Bill has done just recently?
Do you remember what we did? You did?

Good project, wonderful. We look forward to seeing that we're

this way and that way, as if there's only one
way to do it.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
Right.
Speaker 8 (43:40):
He was good.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
It was hard work for him, it was I'm sure,
I bet.
Speaker 8 (43:45):
Because you have to get it it's right. It's like
doing a long commercial and everything had to be just right,
you know. Sure?

by Bill's fitness journey.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
And one thing I know about Bill, it is impossible
for him to be dishonest.
Speaker 5 (46:28):
When when she asks do you miss them? I was
expecting in a joke format. Yes, I was expecting, but
it would have been the truth of you know, No,
I don't. I haven't thought about them in ages.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Why would I?
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (46:43):
And instead he said, I do, and I find it surprising.
Speaker 4 (46:46):
Oh, it's really amazing.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Makes me tear up love them.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
So they're almost two hundred years old, like I mean,

So we have talked many times on this podcast to
our dear listeners about how traveling with Danielle is an
interesting experience because she gets recognized everywhere. It's like you're
traveling with Lady Gaga or somebody like that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I mean, it's just recognized everywhere you go.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And you know, with that, along with that, this beautiful
symbiotic relationship of I don't get recognized ever anywhere, no
matter what it takes, you know, my friends two or
three glances before they realize.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It may stop.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
And so we're we're up at the Shire this weekend,
which I'm sure we will also talk about, and as
we were on the plane yesterday, we land and it's
the three of us lining up in a line.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
In a row to edit the aircraft.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I'm sorry, Danielle, myself and Jensen's husband of us all uh,
And so it goes Danielle, Jensen, then myself and we're
all waiting to open.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
The doors finally open.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
There's this very nice young steward there and the door opens,
flight attendant.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
The door opens, and I hear, Oh, Danielle, I just.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Want to thank you so much for my entire high
school journey, just and Daniel's like.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh my god, that's so sweet.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Thank you, Danielle. I may I shake your hand.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I just want to thank you for all of my
high school years.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
And it was like, oh, thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
So much sweet.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
And then I hear Jensen step up and Jensen, I
want to thank you so much for the podcast. That
was Jensen's like, oh, well, that's really sweet. And then
I step up and he goes, thank you. I was
just the third guy on the plane. It was like goodbye,
thanks for being on the flight.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
A podcast and those Gensen.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
He turned to Jensen turned to me. He's like, no,
I'm getting recognized more than you.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
So they ask you to hold the camera to take
a picturel there he is speaking of the.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
Famous Listen, it's not my fault that there's lesions of
fans of mine. You do travel with basically a human
Teddy rucksman. Everyone who sees her is like, oh my god,
she's out and about. She's my childhood. But you know,
if I get some of the runoff, I'm sorry, Will.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
That's that's fine. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I am apparently not doing this for fame or fortune.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I am doing it because of your friends.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
All is I want to make sure everyone recognizes.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You, y'all, and you're having a great time, so choose
that flight attendant.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I am never flying the last Airlines.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Again, that's not true. It was actually a wonderful flight,
and it was a perfectly nice guy. But it was like, yeah, nice, thanks.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
My favorite part of the whole of the whole flight
home was that then when we landed and the pilot
came out, Will.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Goes, Oh my gosh, the pilot looks seventeen.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
I looked up at him and he was so young,
and the flight attendant was so young, and we were like,
are we really that old?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yet everyone else looks so young.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Let the kids fly the plane.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I can't believe your children.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I also didn't want to scare you and Jensen yesterday
because I definitely didn't want to tell you this because
you might not have been able to get on the flight.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh my god, where their spider I forgot.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
My Spider Man underwear. I was in regular underwear on
the flight yesterday.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know how the plane even got off the ground.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, but we're safe, we're here.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Were you were you in your proper undipants for when
we landed and had to go back up in the air.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yes, oh okay, so honestly you had a better flight.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Without to think about that.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Now I'm trying to think about how the flight there
wasn't that great. Captain America didn't help too much.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
But regular Hanes, Yeah, not a bomb, not a bum.
I think you should just attach a cape to your Hanes.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I also, can anybody else explain to me why the
flight there was two and a half hours but the
flight home took twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Can anybody and we figured that one out?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Please?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It was a very fast flight.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
It was super quick.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
We guys were flying in during the cyclone bomb store, so.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
That is true.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
We flew during a storm that was described by the.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
New York Times as a bomb hitting the West coast.
We had all seen it. We were like, let's talk
about it till we're on the ground.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And then I took a couple of tries to get
on the ground.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yes, it is, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It was a little sporty flying in, but flying back
was the best part about the flight back. Nobody recognized me.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
It was nice and quiet. It was just really wonderful.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Anonymous will I was just.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Seat four c Yeah, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
Bo.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
Also, while we were in Uh in Writer's hometown, we
ended up walking by this bar uh and they have
like arcade games in it, and everyone walked in and
it felt like a group of kind of famous people
in a weird way. There was like a camera following us,
and the woman goes, oh, look at you guys, what
are you some type of band? Are you here on tour?
(05:22):
And everyone's like in Writer and we are like no, no,
and she's like, you know, okay, and the kind of
leave and then they take off and then Danielle walks
by just the door and she goes, bang, don't.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Really once again she's like are you guys? What did
you say? You were like, well, what would our band
name be?
Speaker 6 (05:40):
And she was just like the strokes stroke right, Okay,
they're really old. I was like, we just I was like,
I guess I looked around. I was like yeah, because
you were wearing like your trench coat and I like
a beanie and I was like, oh, yeah, we totally
do we look like a sad dad.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Band or we look like a bunch of guys about
to have strokes, which.
Speaker 9 (06:00):
Anyone toast.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah, welcome to pod Meets World.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I'm Daniel Fischel, I'm right strong.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And I'm seat four C.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I'm Wilfredell.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
So, whether it has been a natural deodorant, or fantasy
book trilogies or foreign film endorsements, over the past two
and a half years, we have dropped little gems here
and there about some of our favorite things, and you
have responded positively, even asked for more.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And so this holiday shopping season.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Your friends at pod Meets World have decided to release
a little bonus gift guide worth noting. None of our
picks are involved in a sponsorship of the podcast. I
even avoided talking about tile Track, even though I bought
them for everyone in my family.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
By way, they weren't supposed to be sponsors.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
They cannot be sponsors.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Oh god, okay, well then all right, it was just
two different kinds of dais okay, all right, no problem.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I had Hundais and see Candy Seebler. Why can't I say,
Keeler Sandler.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Sandy days and Keeler Sandy's are what I was going
to do?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Okay, stop, now we've turned to this is not an
ad into an ad.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Okay, So these.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Are all selections we have earnestly made and maybe one
or more can help you find something for a loved
one or even just yourself who cares.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Wrap it, put it under the tree. You deserve it.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
So we will each pick two things, even Producer Jensen,
and then briefly chat about them. And then we have
a very special guest joining us to give us one
more recommendation. You will not want to miss that, And
so here we go with the first annual Pod meets
World Gift Guide. Now, writer, I'm gonna let you go first,
(08:09):
because now that I know Will was just going to
recommend two different Hyundais, he needs some more time.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I'll take some time. I'll take some time. Gift okay, Okay, Well,
so this is hard. You know, I'm not a big
fan of stuff.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
I don't and I always try and buy, you know,
gifts for people that are as much catered to them
and their personality as possible. And then I also like
to give experiences if I can, like y you know. Okay,
So taking all that into account, I have two book recommendations.
I figured it'd be good to offer up book thoughts,
okay for people who either are a reader or have
(08:45):
that reader in their life. So I have two recommendations
based on what type of reader you might be giving
a gift to, and then I have one that's more
of an experienced gift.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
So the books i'd recommend.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
First up for if you have a true crime fan
in your life or somebody who's like you know, and
I figure we have podcast listeners. It's a lot of
true crime podcast listeners among our listeners too.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I am definitely one.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Of those people. I devour all of that stuff. I
love mysteries. This isn't true crime, but it's a great
novel that came out this year, so I wanted to
recommend something contemporary and popular.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
This book is.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Called God of the Woods by Liz Moore. It came
out I think this summer, maybe the spring. I read
it this summer, and it's just it's a really it's big.
It's long, but it's actually very quick reading. And so
if you like true crime stuff, it's sort of true
crime adjacent. It's set in the nineteen seventies and the
(09:43):
nineteen fifties. It kind of jumps through time periods, so
it has like this really propulsive mystery. It's a summer
camp it's nineteen seventy five, we talked about one of
these campers were racing, and so it starts within the
mind of one of the counselors who discovers the missing
camper and is responsible for that camper, and then it
starts jumping through time to when the missing camper actually
(10:07):
had a brother who also disappeared ten years before, so
it becomes this whole and then her family who lives
on the property. It's this wealthy family that lives on
the property next door as part of the actually owns
the property that is on the camp So there's like.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Such deep history.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
So it starts as this sort of pretty straightforward great
crime of you know, solving the mystery of where she is,
becomes a deep dive into these characters. And what I
really love about this book as opposed to a lot
of other crime books that I've read recently, it really
gets into the issue of class. You know, I think
a lot of times in crime, classes just gets erased.
(10:43):
You know, it's just like, oh, it's it's a parlor
game of who did it?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Where's this? This book?
Speaker 6 (10:49):
And also gender, this book primarily only centers on female characters,
including the detective who's hired to or who's charged with
investigating the case. She's like a young female detective, first
time taking on a case, so she's trying to figure
out how to.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Be a good detective. It's so fun.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
It's yeah, it's dark, of course because it's a crime thing.
But highly recommend and of course you know, I'm a
big fan of summer camps and.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
The woods, so it has lots of that, lots.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Of history and yeah, so big recommendation for anybody who
you know who likes crime.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
That's a great one to give them.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Before you move on to your second book recommendation, give
us the name of that book one more time.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
God of the Woods by Liz Moore.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
God of the Woods by Liz Moore, great suggestion. I'm
going to pick that up.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I to Sue will love that. She loves that crime stuff.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
And then my other book recommendation is for the reader
in your life who has probably read everything, For the
person who you know likes books and likes literature but
you just have no idea what to get them. This
is a book that I only read five years ago
or so, and I've been singing it to praises ever
since because I think it's a missed masterpiece. It's called
A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes. It came
out in nineteen twenty nine, so it is more classical.
(12:01):
It has like an it's set in the nineteenth century.
It has an adventure quality to it. It also has
a childlike quality to it. It's sort of in the
vein of like Peter Pan and Huck Finn, but much darker.
So it's about a family in Jamaica right after it's
gotten independence, and it's an English family and they decide
(12:21):
because the storm comes through and you know, ruins their house,
they decide to send their children.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
There's like four kids. They decide to send them on
a boat back home to England.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
And when that boat departs and the parents go back
to their plantation in Jamaica, they find out that the
boat was actually captured by pirates. And then the rest
of the book is these kids on this boat, their
parents think they're dead, and it's their journey with these pirates.
And so it has this sense of like like like
Peter Panny, sort of like.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Oh, this is exciting, what's it like to be a
kid on a pirate ship?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
But it quickly gets dark and interesting and complicated, but
always maintains this level of fun.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
So and like I said, it's it's one of these
books that I can't believe I.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Never encountered all through my college, you know, literature education
or postgraduate like all of it. I never And when
I found this, I was like, oh, this is the
book that like needs needs recognition again. So if you
have a reader in your life who likes classic literature
and good adventure stories, they probably haven't read this book.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
And I would highly recommend it.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Thank you for two great book recommendations. That's not your
total recommendation. You have a second recommendation, but we are
going to do it a little like draft style. So
now we're going to move to Will for his first
gift recommendation.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
All right, So Hyundai six is out ionic.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
No, so I have gone kind of theme this year.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Okay, So the.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
First one I'm going to do is a wonderful addition
to any kitchen for anybody who loves to cook, especially
loves to cook in the oven, or loves to cook
on usmoker or a grill.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And it is called a meter thermometer.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Oh yeah, they are wonderful So the cool thing about
the meter is it can hook right to your phone
and you put it in the turkey, put it in
the hand, put it in the brisket, whatever you want,
throw it on the grill, and then your phone tracks
the temperature the entire time, so it'll say like it's
time to pull your whatever, it's time to take it out.
(14:25):
They're really really great. They're like little probes like that
big it's bluetooth, right, it is bluetooth and wireless and
all the other thing, and it's just it is such
a cool addition to anybody who likes to cook in
any kitchen because it is accurate, it's easy to use,
which is important because you get some of these things
that are wireless or bluetooth where I don't know how
to do half this stuff, but this one.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Is very simple.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Can spell the meter.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
It is spelled m e A T. Let me make
sure I have it right.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
So meat like meat e emy M.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
It is eat e r t er.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
And they're actually on sale right now.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
They're again not super cheap, but you're not gonna spend
thousands of dollars, but it's they're great. So the anybody
who likes cooking especially meat. This is a good addition to.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Your kitchen, a way to make sure your meat is
never overdone or underdone.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
And and one that you don't you know, as long
as you have your phone with you, which everybody does,
or my watch right then you're I'm walking around and
it's like, oh, hey, that's what the temperature is in
the oven right now, I gotta go check whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
So it's really really great. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Okay, great idea. Now let's go to Jensen for his
first gift idea.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
Hi everybody, Hey, Hi, I recognize you. Yeah, I do
you need some help with you? And fortunately, my first
pick is something for our listeners who I know. We
have a really big kind of vendiagram transition with Disney parks,
whether it's the La Disneyland or Orlando's disney World. And
(16:17):
so I think, and I think you guys might agree
with me, that the official shirts that they sell at
Disney parks are pretty bad. They're the ones that say
like spoiled but the s has like the Disney Fonte.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, Okay, So.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
I think those are all pretty corny. So there's an
entire subgenre of quote unquote bootleg Disney Park merch that
you can wear when you go to the parks and
not feel like you're wearing something that everyone is wearing,
something that's like a little more artsy and a little
more obscure. Does that clock with you guys at all?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:56):
Okay, So there are three different companies that I'm going
to suggest all three of them do them in very
limited times, Like you won't see all of their stuff
on their website or their Instagram. You just have to
kind of follow along and when the shirts become available,
you just have to jump on them at the time.
So the first company is called Single Writer and the
(17:17):
instagram is SI n G L e R I d
e R nineteen seventy four. You'll see their website there
when you go to the Instagram. And like, these shirts
are not your typical Haunted Mansion type of shirts. For example,
Single Writer has shirts for the Bugs Life three D show,
(17:37):
also for Alien Encounter.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
They have a shirt for the People Mover.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
They have a shirt for Rafiki's Planet Watch, which is
so obscure I didn't know what it was. And so
they have like different ones every month. But in this way,
you go to the park, and you're not just kind
of like a weird billboard. You actually have like artsy,
kind of hip T shirts that revolve around things that like,
(18:03):
if you know, you know, kind of fan things. So
one of the other companies is Fantasy Feelings. This one's
a little harder to send you to on Instagram, but
it's at Fantasy and then a bunch of underscores together Feelings.
I don't know how many underscores, but their website is
just Fantasy Feelings dot com. They have shirts for the
Enchanted Tiki Bar, the Indiana Jones, Stunt Spectacular yea, and
(18:27):
a couple of these sites also have shirts for Universal Studios,
so you'll see like Horror Nights or the Jaws Ride.
Those things like that might pop up as well. And
then lastly is Magic Kingdom. And this one's spelled very Strange,
which is at Magic Kingdom magic dot Kingdom, but Magic
is spelled m A g I c K dot Kingdom,
(18:49):
so m A g I c K. Their website will
be there on the Instagram and for example, they just
put up a big thunder Mountain shirt where do you knows?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Right?
Speaker 7 (18:58):
And then they have a T shirt for Muppet Vision,
which is in the news this week because they've decided
to remove the Muppet ip from the three D show
and they're gonna put I think Monsters inc In and
then now Muppet Vision gets the or the Muppets get
the roller coaster. But like these, they'll do T shirts
for Tower of Terror, which is obviously dated from Disneyland.
(19:19):
They'll do things for old rides and old movies, things
you just won't see in the parks. And I think
that Disney Parks Merches is very much lacking in individuality
and any sort of true fan service. And so these
are companies that deliver limited edition. I think they're in
between somewhere like thirty and forty five dollars. And it's
(19:41):
a fun follow at least on Instagram to check it out.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Wow, I love that you much are the king of
T shirts. If anyone who doesn't know Jensen gets stopped
for his T shirts all.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
The time, yeah, correct, Yeah, I'm a big T shirt guy.
I think it's one of the last true possibilities for individuality. Like,
you know, you walk up to someone and the first
thing they see in a lot of cases is your
graphic T shirt. And so I think why would you
wear something that just everyone has, and so this really
falls into that, into that mind frame.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Great, it's really cool.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
I was at writers for obviously we all hung out
recently and I wore a very obscure T shirt that
a couple of people realized and said something about, which
was theme park related as well, which was a T
shirt of the commercial from six Flags Magic Mountain of
the old man who did.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
So.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I found a shirt of that guy that they used
to sell at Magic Mountain, and I just like that
kind of feeling of I can't believe they made a
shirt for that guy. So that's that's my that's my run,
that's your vibe.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
All right, that's a good first gift.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Okay, So my first gift is something that is I
highly recommend for both men and and I don't know
that I've stressed it properly enough to my two dear
friends and co hosts here the importance of two things,
sunscreen and properly cleaning your face.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Sunscreen.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
We should all know by now sunscreen you should be
wearing if you're not gonna wear it all over your
entire body, because you're wearing clothes most of the time
and you don't let your body see the sun that much, Okay,
but please wear sunscreen on your face at the very least.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I don't think either of my co hosts, no nor
my husband wear sunscreen.
Speaker 10 (21:33):
No.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
If you do, though, wear sunscreen, it can be one
of the hardest things to wash off.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
And you don't necessarily know that it's hard to wash off,
but it just it is. So if you're just washing
your face, or you're not even really washing your face.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Like I suspect two of my co hosts here regularly
go to bed, maybe without even splashing water on their face,
removing sunscreen can be difficult. I wear sunscreen religiously, and
I also wear at least a little bit of makeup
almost every day, whether that's a tinted moisturizer or a
CCA cream or something. And I started about two years ago.
(22:13):
Double cleansing my face sounds odd, but what is it.
You start with one type of cleanser, an oil cleanser. Again,
most people hear what you're going to wash your face
with oil, and it sounds weird, and it is a
little weird the first time you do it, But after
(22:34):
you do it and you feel the difference and you
see the difference in your skin after double cleansing and
using an oil wash an oil cleanser.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
You will not be able to go back.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
So my first recommendation for you is an oil cleanser
called DHC. It's actually DHC Deep cleansing oil and it
comes in a pump, which is amazing because that's very
easy to use at your sink. You start with dry
skin and dry hands, so fully dry face, sunscreen, on makeup,
on whatever. If I'm wearing mascara, I use two full
(23:07):
pumps of the oil. If I'm not wearing mascara, I
only need to use one. But you pump it into
your hand, rub it in between your hands, rub it together,
get it nice and warm, and then massage your face.
You don't have to rub aggressively, you don't have to
pull and tug at your skin. You just rub it
onto your skin, ideally for thirty seconds to a minute,
and then put your hands under warm water and rinse
(23:30):
the oil off with warm water. It strips all the
sunscreen off your face, all the makeup off your face,
and you are now kind of starting with a blank slate.
And then you can use your second normal face wash,
whatever that is. I cannot recommend this enough. I recently
did a picture with Dan Housen that I put on
(23:52):
my social media where I painted my face in Dan Housen,
the wrestler's makeup. It was all white makeup all over
my face, tons of black in the sockets of my eyes.
And after I did the makeup application and Dan Housen
and I took our picture together, he said, well, good
luck taking that off. He said, it's truly a nightmare.
(24:13):
I cannot stand taking it off. It takes me forever.
It's multiple washes. And I said, huh, I don't think
it's going to be a problem. I've got this oil cleanser.
I bet it's going to come right off. Sure enough,
it took me no more than two minutes to fully
wash all that makeup off my face.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
So the next day I did. The next day, I
went to him and I said, listen, I'm about to
change your life. And I showed it to him.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
And the greatest thing about it to me is that
it is not expensive, will last you a very long time.
Your skin will feel good after, it will be healthier.
It's moisturizing, especially if you've dry skin or during this
time of year, where everything is just so dry. Highly
highly highly recommend starting a double cleans and starting it
with DHC Cleansing Oil. So that's my first pick. Great,
(24:56):
now we can go back to writer. It's Writer's turn
for his second pick.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
So I, like I said, I like giving experiences or
things that you can enjoy together or you know, hopefully
they somebody will go on to have great experiences with what.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
You give them.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
And so I was trying to think what the best game,
the best board game that I have discovered to play
with my son and my wife and friends or whatever.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
And there's a series of games.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
There's two that I will directly recommend, but in general,
this whole Funko Games makes a series of games based
on movies, like classic movies, and they pick some obscure
ones like Rear Window, you know movies that you were like, what,
there's a game, a board game, but they do so
much good research. And the one that I would recommend
that I've played a lot is the Back to the
(25:43):
Future board game.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
It is so much fun.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
It is basically the board is Hill Valley and then
it's a cooperative game, so you either play Marty or
Doc or Einstein. The dog and Jennifer, Marty's girlfriend, and
then you you end up back in time and you
basically have to recreate the plot of the movie. But
the game has made it so like there's a there's
(26:07):
a board on one side that is the photograph of
Marty as he disappears.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
And so like that's the time clock, like as you're
running out of time.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
If you don't get things right, you have to get
Georgian Elaine to kiss at the dance at the right time,
otherwise you disappear.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
It is so much fun.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
It's basically a way to be inside the movie with
your family and like, you know, if you've already watched
the movie, it's a way to like re enjoy it
again together and like you know, fail or succeed. It's
so much fun. And then the other one that I
would recommend is actually not made by Funko Games. It's
made by Ravensburg Rabsburger.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
What's that's a word, Ravensburger.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Ravensburger. Okay, they make a Jaws board game that is
so much fun. It's divided into two acts. The first
act is the island, and one of you is the
shark and the other the other two or three of
you are people on characters from the movie in the
on the island, and it's basically like battleship, Like the
person who's the shark is going around trying to eat
swimmers around Amityville or Amity Ambity Island, and then there's
(27:06):
all the other players are trying to catch the shark.
That's act one. So one of you wins are lose
is based on and then you flip the board over
and then you are on the boat like at the
end of the movie and you're trying to do with
the shark.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Yeah, it is so much fun. You don't even have
to play both both acts.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
You could just play the first act as like a
standoff game, a standalone game. It is so much fun
and it's just been a great way. Like you know, obviously,
if you're a listener of Podmeets World, if you like
things from your childhood or movies or TV shows and
you want to find a way to engage with those,
like fictional universes, you can't get better than these board games.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Do you have to be to play?
Speaker 6 (27:44):
I started playing the Back to the Future one with
Indy when he was like eight seven or eight, but
maybe that was a little too early. I think they're
mostly ten plus around, but yeah, it's more and because
they're retro, a lot of them are based on like
eighties movies. There's one that's more of a role play
game based on the Goonies, which is really good, but
it's a little more like actual dungeons and Dragons, So
(28:05):
I would because you know, the hard thing with board
games I find is like, because I'm like a geek,
I love like complicated board games, but in getting people
who don't normally geek out on board games to play
complicated board games can be so a lot because it's like, oh,
that's twenty minutes, we got to read the rules, we
got to watch a video on how to play. And
I find that with these games, because they're based in
movies that everybody already kind of knows. You kind of
(28:27):
know what your goals are, you know what the story is,
and that story will pull people through the complicated rules
to get.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Started, you know what I mean. They're like, oh, we'll
get to be the shark, so how do I do that?
Speaker 6 (28:37):
And it's like so these That's why I think these
are sort of like gateway board games because they're not,
you know, because you recommend Settlers of Catan and people
are like, wait, what you know? But if you say, well,
well let's play this Jaws based board game, it can be.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
So much fun. So highly recommend as a gift.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I love an idea for the whole family. Yeah, Will,
what's your second pick?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It's a vacation away from your family.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Oh no, I always to that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Actually mine is family based as well, kind of because
it's fun for the whole family. And we're staying on
theme because I bought myself one and have just been
loving it. But there's different versions of it, so if
you don't want to spend a ton of money, you
can spend less money and get a smaller version. So
I am, of course talking about the Blackstone grill, which
(29:27):
is a flat top Hibachi grill. You can get one
like a camping size one that's twenty two inches. That's
only it's like under one hundred bucks. You can get
then all the way up to you know, the giant
mac Daddy's, which are still only like two hundred and
forty five bucks, So it's not like you're spending one
thousand dollars on a grill. There, it's your you have
(29:47):
your own straight uphibachi at your house. It's the best
smash burgers. You're making great for breakfasts. I was doing
great breakfast. Breakfast is huge, fried rice like all the
kind of like straight.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
So they make camping versions.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, it's a twenty two inch camping version. It's all
obviously hooked up to get to gas. But it is
just it so much fun. We cook on it all
the time.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
How long do you think it'll take me to learn
how to do the volcano?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
You could do the volcano pretty quick in volcano, Yeah,
you could do the volcano.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
What's going to be harder is me learning the rest
of the show, like juggling the fire and flipping the strip.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Into my hat and all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
That's the longest part because they make it all the
hibachi tricks.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I could do all the hibachi tricks. I want to
get there, but it is it is so much. The
first night we came home, you have to like you
have to season the grills. You know, it's turning it
on in fifteen minute increments and then putting all this
oil on it. And so we just wanted to make
our first smash burgers and we couldn't believe just the crispy, nutty,
amazing awesomeness that it was.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Is that your favorite thing that you've made on it
so far? Smash burger?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
The smash burgers were great.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
The first one wasn't great only because it was our fault,
like we didn't season the meat the right way.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
We're still like learning our meat and should you use butter?
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Should you not use butter?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
So the second one that we did was phenomenally good,
but the fried rice was great. We had our had
our day old rice and Susan had made pork tenderloin
the night before, so we still had half a pork
tenderloin left, so we cut.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
All that up.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
That's back on the in the day old rice with
all the tariaki sauce.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
Never.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I mean, it was really good, and you feel like
a grill master because you when you get the kit
that comes with it, You've got the giant smash burger
thing like the professional one, and then you've got the
two big spatula things that they use at this so
you're like, yeah, making all the sounds and you're doing,
you know, moving all the stuff around.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Okay, let's start a YouTube channel.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
Go get a YouTube channel right now, Grillfordell and start
the videos. Great, I want to see you learning how
to do hobo, so I want you to I want
to see all the like where you toss it up,
spin and grab it.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
And I told you about the cooking show that I
wanted to do that I actually pitched somewhere and they're like,
I don't know. It was called Will meets Grill, And
what it is is there's all these grilling shows out there,
but none that really teach you how to do it.
So the concept of the show, which people liked at
the time they were like, yeah, we're not doing this,
is I would put every season, I'd pick one meet,
(32:15):
so like the first season it was Ribs, and you'd
start in Connecticut or Massachusetts or California, wherever it is.
And I had six weeks to get to an actual
grilling competition.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
And from Connecticut that's a long horseback ride.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Six weeks to get there, but on the drive down,
I'd be stopping at every pitmaster along the way to
teach me how to make them. So by the time
I made I got to the competition, I would at
least have a chance of figuring out how to do it. So, yeah,
the first season's ribs, the second season's brisket, all that stuff.
But maybe I'll just do it Habachi style. And I
got to put the show together, though. I got to
(32:53):
put a great show, because again, the last one we saw.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Watching you trying to learn habai is the show you
actually failing at habachi.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
You would be way more fun.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
No fired, fail with no fire for us.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
That's got Grilfordell.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Those grills a trademark that now TM Grilfordell.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
So that's it.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Go check out the Blackstone products. They're really good.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
You don't have to spend a ton, and I promise
you you are going to be so happy with the product.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Amazing. All right, let's go to Jensen for his second pick.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
So my second pick here is someone that I think
Danielle and I both stumbled upon during the pandemic and
I've still stayed a fan. It's called Mexic Kitsch Art
by l rod Uh and it's awesome. It's spelled m
e x a k I T s c H on
Instagram and the same for their website, which is just
(33:41):
Mexic kitch dot com and it's uh. The artist's name
is Leanne L. Rod Rodriguez. She was born in Riverside,
now lives in this Sacramento area, and she creates these
resin sculptures that resemble your grandma's favorite like church pot
luck jello dish, so it'll be like cool, yeah, and
she'll do them for other vintage foods like TV dinners.
(34:04):
She'll make sculptures and lamps. Lamps are kind of the
coolest thing she does of these intricate jello molds and
Fiesta gelatins. Fiesta gelatins are like almost like a jello
cake and you can see inside the jello, so like
inside the jello or little pieces of marshmallow or whatever,
and they're so good. And she is well known for
(34:24):
her Deviled Egg clocks, which are like these clocks and
every hour has a sculpture devil egg on them. And
then she also recently started doing tiki drinks sculptures of
tiki drinks and they all look very real and very cool.
And if you're into like campy stuff for the holidays
a gift for someone, these are just perfect Christmas parfe
(34:45):
sculptures and the range of price and these are all
basically kind of one of a kind. Some are small runs,
but sixty five dollars is the lowest I found for
a mini sculpture, and all the way up to four
hundred for the more intricate stuff. But it's awesome, and
she sends out emails to tell you when she's doing drops,
(35:06):
and uh, if you've ever had a grandma who made
jell o, man, this is probably the most nostalgia you'll
ever have.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Thank Yeah, while we've been talking, I ordered a big
thunder Mountain Railroad.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Did you. Oh my god, Yes, it's so cool.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
Oh my god, that's so great.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Okay, so my second pick I was also after you
guys know how I feel about art, But I was
going to recommend and I'm still going to drop a
plug for a very cute little idea. An artist named
oh so Nerdy O H S E W N E
r d Y. That's his website is OsO nerdy dot com.
(35:53):
He does little cross stitch and he takes orders and
you can customize a little cross stitch for a person
in your life. We have several of them to commemorate
fun moments in our life Jensen.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
And I have made.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
We have a drop the mic cross stitch back from
when Jensen was the executive producer of Dropped the mic.
We have a cross stitch that says meat and pee
that's based on a funny conversation we had about Pistizzi.
It's a really cute, very personalized gift that you can
give to somebody and they're not very expensive. But that's
not my gift idea. My gift idea is, actually, I
(36:32):
kind of had to.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
I would have done art. I mean I would have
done it if had Jensen's other one not been art related.
I wasn't going to give you two art suggestions. That's
enough art.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
So my second gift idea is the Ember mug. And
the Ember mug is perfect for any hot beverage drinker
in your life, especially a hot beverageker who has children,
because if you have children and you wake up in
(37:05):
the morning and you like a hot beverage, you know
what it's like and how many times you have to
reheat that same beverage because you put it down, you're
helping them get dressed, you're doing something else, you get distracted.
That thing's in and out of the microwave a million times.
With the Ember mug, it will keep your beverage the
exact perfect temperature to your liking for hours. It comes
(37:30):
with a little tray. You charge your Ember mug on
the tray. Then when you wake up and you make
your beverage you use, you take the mug off the charger.
You can set it to the temperature that you like,
so not too hot, not too cold. You pour your
coffee or your tea into it and you do not
have to worry about reheating it for the rest of
the morning.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
They make travel sizes, they make home mugs. I have
the home mug. I don't usually take my beverages to go,
so I just have one that I use at home,
and I absolutely love it.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
They are currently on sale twenty five percent off, but
their regular price is one for ninety five for the
fourteen ounce Ember mug and uh yeah, highly recommend it.
My dad got it for me a couple of years
ago and it is it just doesn't miss so awesome. Right, Well,
that concludes our gift recommendations, but we do have a
(38:26):
very special guest coming to give us a tip about
where we should also go for some holiday shopping. So
let's please welcome to the podcast. Bonnie and Bill daniels.
Speaker 8 (38:44):
I can't say are we Oh there we are.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
You look wonderful.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
So good to see you, guys, Well, so good to
see you.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Listen, I are.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
We are doing a wonderful gift guide for every one
of our listeners of places they could go, thoughtful gifts
they could get the people in their lives. And so
we wanted to have you on because I understand that
you guys have opened the Bill and Bonnie Daniels shop,
which is available on Etsy, and it is filled with
(39:20):
some incredible gift ideas for the boy meets.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
World fan in your life.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Now.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Bill is ninety seven, Bonnie is ninety five.
Speaker 5 (39:29):
Tell us about where this idea came from for you
guys to start an Etsy shop.
Speaker 11 (39:35):
Well, I think it was actually my son Rob is
running the shop in New York. Great, but it was
really his idea, and I thought it was a great
idea because we get so many requests and we're pestered
and that's okay, you know, but it takes a lot
of time and we're not that good efficient anymore, and
(39:57):
so we thought we'd put it all in one place
because we don't.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Do so many of the conventions conventions anymore.
Speaker 11 (40:04):
We haven't been doing them for a while and we
will go back to them when we feel up to it.
But I thought that was a great idea. So we
signed a lot of pictures and books and stuff and
he's got them and then he'll send them.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Out to people wonderful well to put it on.
Speaker 8 (40:25):
He's the one that wanted to put it on the
st as a store.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
I love it well to give people a little bit
of an idea.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
There is an autographed copy of Bill's memoir available for
sixty dollars. Also, Bonnie's memoir is available on there as well.
There are autographed pictures of mister Feenie and Dean Bolander,
and you can get a William Daniels autographed seventeen seventy
six playbook. Plus there is also an adorable shirt of
(40:55):
Bill and Bonnie in a drawing that says for better
or Worse and.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
The art was done by their granddaughter Shanas.
Speaker 8 (41:02):
Yes, Shana's does the t shirts. And there's that fun
one from Golden Girls.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Oh yes, your Golden Girls shirt too.
Speaker 8 (41:12):
That's that you can get. That you can get, And
we're putting a lot of special things, like I found
a lot of ties, you know that Bill.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
Moore on the show.
Speaker 9 (41:23):
On the one before that, elsewhere and elsewhere and from
the lou Ritter store, which is and they all that
was a men's store that had a lot of catered
to all the biggies.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
I get to own history.
Speaker 8 (41:41):
I'm going to.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
In my collection. That's too cool, the tie that.
Speaker 8 (41:48):
He wore on a certain show. But I don't know that.
I would be too much research for me.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
A lot of research, for sure.
Speaker 8 (41:56):
That's a lot of research.
Speaker 5 (41:58):
So Bill and Bonnie, do you guys still exchange gifts
at Christmas?
Speaker 10 (42:03):
What?
Speaker 3 (42:03):
What are your what are your holiday traditions as far
as gifts go?
Speaker 8 (42:07):
How long since you've given me a gift?
Speaker 10 (42:12):
Give me a second?
Speaker 8 (42:16):
No. But what we do is we'll we'll say, Uh,
for instance, I bought an expensive.
Speaker 11 (42:25):
Bike that I've put in the bedroom. Okay bedroom, I
can just put whatever I can and I do that,
and that's my Christmas that's Christmas Christmas present. So we
tend to do that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yeah, perfect, I love that.
Speaker 8 (42:43):
Oh and you know what else Bill has done just recently?
Do you remember what we did? You did?
Speaker 11 (42:49):
It's he is the advocate for Fight child Abuse dot
org and he just did it was for him. But
he did some really about six spots and they're going
to be on the movie and the movies in the
movie theaters.
Speaker 8 (43:09):
You know, the movie comes on, they have all this
stuff and they'll be showing that on the movies. Wow,
it's really a good.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
Good project, wonderful. We look forward to seeing that we're
doing that.
Speaker 8 (43:24):
Yes, Yes, it was tough, wasn't it.
Speaker 10 (43:27):
Well, it were a pain in the that I wanted
it this way, that way. I want to try it
this way and that way, as if there's only one
way to do it.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
Right.
Speaker 8 (43:40):
He was good.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
It was hard work for him, it was I'm sure,
I bet.
Speaker 8 (43:45):
Because you have to get it it's right. It's like
doing a long commercial and everything had to be just right,
you know. Sure?
Speaker 5 (43:51):
Is Bill still working out regularly? We're always so inspired
by Bill's fitness journey.
Speaker 10 (43:57):
Am I still working out?
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (44:00):
Yeah, yeah.

Actually I do.
Speaker 10 (44:23):
I find that surprising.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
