Speaker 1 (00:05):
The setup episode one.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Swipe right, this is only your second week in therapy one.
It takes time.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, So how did creating the dating profile make you feel?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Good? Yeah? Fine, I mean good good. It felt it
felt good so good.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That's encouraging any matches?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
No, not not not technically, I'm not sure I understand.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Well, the thing is that I didn't actually use the app.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Hmmm, I see.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Well, I mean it's not like I didn't try to
use it. I did.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
I did try, but well, every time I opened it,
I got hit with this wave of nausea and and
then my heart started beating like so fast, and it
felt like I was kind of stuck in and it's
never ending, like time loop, you know. So I opened
the app, closey app, opened the app, close the app,
open the app, close the app, open the app.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I've got it.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, right, of course you got it. But it's just
it's proper for the best. Anyway. I'm too busy to
be dating right now, you know, with a museum exhibit
and the ATOMAL exhibit.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Yeah, in my mind has been all over the place,
you know, finalizing the layout, curating the paintings, making sure
that all the guests have RCP. We've finally got that
amazing new painting by Margaret de Lano.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yes, Vietry soon, Mari.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Oh did I did I mention that last session?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
You are a little scatter brained right now?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
See what I mean.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
There's just no way, no no way I could handle
a date right now. I'd self implode.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
But there has to be some effort on your part
to reach out and connect with other people.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I connect with other people.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Do you outside of the museum? Well, Juan, I say
this with the utmost of care. You cannot keep living
your life in one dimension. At some point you've got
to step out of the canvass and into the real world.
I say you give the dating app another shot before
the big exhibit. When is it again?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Five days?
Speaker 5 (02:08):

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Oh you know, what do you mind grabbing those paintings,
the ones in the back, the ones that got delivered today.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Astonishing brushwork.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I can almost feel the breeze here, the waves.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
This painting. It's transcendent, it's it's what is that?
Speaker 8 (03:39):
Okay, let's do another one, but make sure you get
my good any last time square download. I love it.
Actually get low work.
Speaker 3 (03:49):

Speaker 4 (04:18):

Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'm curating our social presence.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, but well I need you to help me curate
and exhibit where all the paintings are level.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
Stop trying to ass curator just because Williams out of town.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
No, I'm not trying to. This exhibit is incredibly special
to me. Okay, did you even realize how lucky you
are to be experiencing these paintings up close? The transcendent
power of standing in this room? Do you know what
I'm talking about?
Speaker 8 (04:51):
I touched strooms out of Harry Styles concert Ones and
fully come in with God, that.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Is not, that's not, that's not, that's not the same thing,
That's not the same thing.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
Art is subjective.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
One.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
If I say Harry Styles is a piece of art,
he is a piece of art.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
What is art? Is this painting by Margaret Delano?
Speaker 8 (05:09):
And No, the seventeenth century European cannon is so boring.
I mean, so it's like another pretty landscape some random
beach in Italy, so basic, there's like no point of
view at all.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
It's it's anything but basic. Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Margaret Dono was one of the most revered impressionists of
the seventeenth century.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I must have tuned out that lecture.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
But I am here for a strong female artist in
a male dominated time period.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Okay, you know what I can work with that. Okay.
So this is one of Margaret Delano's very first.
Speaker 9 (05:42):
Paintings, a stunning depiction of the beaches of Vetri Sulmare
in southern Italy. She painted it entirely from the window
of the tiny room she was subjugated to by her
overbearing husband.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
She never actually experienced the beaches in but.
Speaker 10 (06:01):
If I look at her painting, really look at it,
it's almost like I can actually hear the waves roaring
against the shoreline, like I can feel the ocean spray
against my face. And now and now I'm walking walking
(06:21):
along the beach.
Speaker 11 (06:23):
The world is full of an almost intoxicating promise, unfamiliar
faces and possibilities waiting for me at every corner.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Oh my god, this is TikTok gold. Are you feeling no, No,
try that on.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Oh my god, chill, I'll delete it.
Speaker 10 (06:43):
Steffanie Stiffee, I was I was actually trying to connect
with you.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
This exhibit is really important to me, and I thought
that I could just Oh my.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
Gosh, crop William just text me, and I need to
make sure that all the paintings are even and leveled.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, that's what I've just such no timeline. I gotta
find it, take measure. Oh come on, what I what?
Speaker 4 (07:12):

for a guy in turtleneck.
Speaker 12 (07:17):
Oh ok yeah, six.
Speaker 3 (07:20):

Indy to fetch.
Speaker 13 (07:26):
With your cell phone.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Okay, okay, fine, fine, I downloaded a dating now yeah,
I mean more.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Finally, did I see us? Wait a second? Okay, well
hold on, no no, no.
Speaker 13 (07:37):
No, no, no, no no wait hold on. We are doing
this tonight. We don't make an old woman repeat herself.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Okay, fine, but I am definitely not swiping right on
anybody tonight.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (07:52):
Oh look at him, Jared thirty seven, a firefighter.
Speaker 12 (07:57):
Swipe right, swipe right, one no way.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Look at his photos. He's shirtless and literally every one
of them. I can I can just imagine the date
right now.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Man, I'm Jared.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I love staring at myself in the mirror and lathering
my body in baby oil.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I will definitely break up with you using the three
word tex and a thumbs up emoji.
Speaker 12 (08:17):
Fine, fine Left.
Speaker 13 (08:19):
I meet up Emilio twenty seven, a poet. He looks
very respectable and he's wearing a shirt.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
No, he's way too young. Plus he's dressed like a
pretentious hipster. Okay, hipster, yeah, a hipster. Trust me. If
we went on a date, it would be a total disaster.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Hi, I'm a Milio.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I'm only really interested in hearing the sound on my
own voice and talking about.
Speaker 14 (08:43):
My extremely niche underground music taste, which you definitely I
haven't heard of.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Oh ghosha.
Speaker 12 (08:49):
After a second date, why not boys? No hipsters left?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Oh wow.
Speaker 13 (08:56):
Fernando thirty nine, owns his own bookstore.
Speaker 15 (09:02):
I enjoy quiet mornings and in the early nights. I'm
an art enthusiast, a dog lover, and I'm looking for
a real, meaningful connection with someone who's satisfied spending a
quiet Saturday evening inside just being together.
Speaker 12 (09:17):
He's perfect Colla.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
There's no way a guy like that would go out
for a guy like me.
Speaker 12 (09:22):
I want this.
Speaker 13 (09:24):
Fernando would be lucky to have a sensitive, intelligent, maybe
too skinny, and she would eat more young man.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Like you in his life.
Speaker 12 (09:33):
And you never know, he could be sitting alone on
his couch. You just waiting for you too, all right,
all right.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Okay, okay, fine, fine, fine, I'm swiping right. Okay, Holy crap,
it's a match.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Okay, Okay, he's asking if I want to go grab
dinner with him tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I want to say yes. No, no, I can't say yes.
I can't ditch you for dinner.
Speaker 13 (09:54):
Well, I don't know what this ditch, but I will
save you some leftovers. You are going on that date?
End of this question?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Okay, what It's just a date. Breathe I'm not gonna
be nervous about things we nervous about.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Stephanie, Why are you texting me at eight pm?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Okay? What do you want?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
May have accidentally posted your weird art video going viral,
so sorry, not sorry.
Speaker 10 (10:45):
Now I'm walking walking along than me.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
This is not good.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Okay, okay, okay, breathe on, you're walk down.

It's a huge wind.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
Weirdly, there are a ton of us in the comments
asking for your Instagram.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Oh my god, no, no, no, no, what if Fernando
saw this? Oh I'm so sorry. No, I have to
go CHESSI chessy. Oh thank god, Oh, thank god.
Speaker 15 (11:41):
One Fernando, it's great to meet you.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I have to leave. I have to leave.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I got claustrophobic, and I spilled somebody's drinkle over my
shirt and the stain it's it's not gonna come out
unless I put the turgeon on it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And my always says that the first four hours are
critical for removing stains.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
And if I don't go home right now, then then
then there's a chance that the shirt will be ruined.
And I can't ruin the shirt because I don't have
that mean next year.
Speaker 15 (12:08):
Hey what, just breathe, just breathe. Good forget the bar.
How about a walk. The cold air will help, I promise.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Okay, I'm honestly shocked that you didn't go sprinting in
the other direction as soon as you saw me. I'm
pretty sure I looked insane. I think I might still
look insane. Oh actually, oh my god, I look in
sane right now, don't I don't.
Speaker 15 (12:32):
I you look great. I used to get panic attacks too.
How are you feeling?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Honestly a little better? Things?
Speaker 15 (12:40):
Brisk walk and fresh air works wonders on the net.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, right, nerves, I think actually being to be honest,
I was nervous to meet you.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
It was a big part of it.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, it's it's been it's been a while, you know,
since I've been out on a date to what really, Oh,
come on, I don't I don't believe that for a second.
Speaker 15 (12:57):
I mean it's partially by choice.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Wait, what do you mean?
Speaker 15 (13:01):
Well, it's hard to find someone who's just satisfied with
a quiet Saturday evening and you know, one of those
nights where you can just sit and read a book
together and my piece of art just just let it
wash over you.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Wow, I exactly what you mean.
Speaker 15 (13:19):
I guess. I guess some people would call that picky.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I'm kind of picky about certain things too, you know,
I'm always I always felt like my exes they never
really got it, you know, or were like annoyed by it.
You know, maybe the way I organize my room or
make my bag.
Speaker 15 (13:36):
You know, your space is your sanctuary.

TikTok of you earlier today, the one with the Delano painting.
It was, Oh, it was refreshing. I haven't seen anything
so genuine online a long time.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
It's just sometimes I lose myself in a painting. It's
like I don't even realize it until it's already happening.
Speaker 15 (14:13):
I feel the same way when I lose myself in
a great book. You know, I'm not surprised that you're
the head museum curator. I mean you must be in
heaven surrounded by all those pieces of art.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Yeah, well it's yeah, it's also a lot of work.

the hustle and bustle of the crowds, no responsibilities, no distractions,
just you and the art.

I swear to.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
God enough both of you, Fernando. I'm preparing to step
down as head of the family business. I'm ready to
hand the reins over to somebody who can handle the
responsibility of running an international gun empire.
Speaker 15 (21:51):
I'm ready, Toad. I've been preparing my entire life watching
the way you handle the business, the way you keep
the authorities in line. I mean, what is so funny?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I'm just picturing you dealing with the authorities.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
I swear to God, Gigi every time, Fernando, my boy,
I respect your enthusiasm, but I am wary of your tactics.
They're fallible at best, emotional erratic. And I've been awakened
to another possibility, another possibility for what exactly Your cousin
(22:29):
has come to me with the proposal. She believes she
can run the business better than you can, that she's
the stronger.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Gone, stronger, better, and more stylish.
Speaker 15 (22:39):
Are you kidding me? She is a literal red flag
in that bright red coat, leaving a disaster in her wake.
After every goddamn.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Job you say potato, I say you're reckless, and I
say your spinals.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Enough bakery for Christ's sake. Yes, Gigi may have eccentricities, Fernando,
but she also gets resolved eccentricity.
Speaker 15 (23:06):
She's a maniac.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
To move an empire into the future, we need to
think out of the box, which is why I am
giving you one more opportunity, my son, one more chance
to prove yourself worthy of shepherding our family's legacy into
the next era.
Speaker 15 (23:25):
Get me that painting and if I fail, if I
don't secure the painting, if I can't.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Well, then the business is mine, bitch.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Swipe right, this is only your second week in therapy one.
It takes time.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, So how did creating the dating profile make you feel?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Good? Yeah? Fine, I mean good good. It felt it
felt good so good.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That's encouraging any matches?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
No, not not not technically, I'm not sure I understand.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Well, the thing is that I didn't actually use the app.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Hmmm, I see.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Well, I mean it's not like I didn't try to
use it. I did.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
I did try, but well, every time I opened it,
I got hit with this wave of nausea and and
then my heart started beating like so fast, and it
felt like I was kind of stuck in and it's
never ending, like time loop, you know. So I opened
the app, closey app, opened the app, close the app,
open the app, close the app, open the app.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I've got it.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, right, of course you got it. But it's just
it's proper for the best. Anyway. I'm too busy to
be dating right now, you know, with a museum exhibit
and the ATOMAL exhibit.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Yeah, in my mind has been all over the place,
you know, finalizing the layout, curating the paintings, making sure
that all the guests have RCP. We've finally got that
amazing new painting by Margaret de Lano.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yes, Vietry soon, Mari.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Oh did I did I mention that last session?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
You are a little scatter brained right now?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
See what I mean.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
There's just no way, no no way I could handle
a date right now. I'd self implode.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
But there has to be some effort on your part
to reach out and connect with other people.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I connect with other people.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Do you outside of the museum? Well, Juan, I say
this with the utmost of care. You cannot keep living
your life in one dimension. At some point you've got
to step out of the canvass and into the real world.
I say you give the dating app another shot before
the big exhibit. When is it again?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Five days?
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Perfect?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Your next assignment is to wipe right at least once,
just once. Sometimes once is all it takes.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
No no no, no no no no no too far

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Astonishing brushwork.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I can almost feel the breeze here, the waves.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
This painting. It's transcendent, it's it's what is that?
Speaker 8 (03:39):
Okay, let's do another one, but make sure you get
my good any last time square download. I love it.
Actually get low work.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Work for it.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
This looks so then pan out to a fish eye
so we could get the paintings in. Okay, I need

Speaker 4 (04:18):
You're supposed to be helping me set up the exhibit,
not not Fielming tiktoks.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'm curating our social presence.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, but well I need you to help me curate
and exhibit where all the paintings are level.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
Stop trying to ass curator just because Williams out of town.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
No, I'm not trying to. This exhibit is incredibly special
to me. Okay, did you even realize how lucky you
are to be experiencing these paintings up close? The transcendent
power of standing in this room? Do you know what
I'm talking about?
Speaker 8 (04:51):
I touched strooms out of Harry Styles concert Ones and
fully come in with God, that.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Is not, that's not, that's not, that's not the same thing,
That's not the same thing.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
Art is subjective.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
One.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
If I say Harry Styles is a piece of art,
he is a piece of art.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
What is art? Is this painting by Margaret Delano?
Speaker 8 (05:09):
And No, the seventeenth century European cannon is so boring.
I mean, so it's like another pretty landscape some random
beach in Italy, so basic, there's like no point of
view at all.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
It's it's anything but basic. Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Margaret Dono was one of the most revered impressionists of
the seventeenth century.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I must have tuned out that lecture.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
But I am here for a strong female artist in
a male dominated time period.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Okay, you know what I can work with that. Okay.
So this is one of Margaret Delano's very first.
Speaker 9 (05:42):
Paintings, a stunning depiction of the beaches of Vetri Sulmare
in southern Italy. She painted it entirely from the window
of the tiny room she was subjugated to by her
overbearing husband.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
She never actually experienced the beaches in but.
Speaker 10 (06:01):
If I look at her painting, really look at it,
it's almost like I can actually hear the waves roaring
against the shoreline, like I can feel the ocean spray
against my face. And now and now I'm walking walking
(06:21):
along the beach.
Speaker 11 (06:23):
The world is full of an almost intoxicating promise, unfamiliar
faces and possibilities waiting for me at every corner.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Oh my god, this is TikTok gold. Are you feeling no, No,
try that on.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Oh my god, chill, I'll delete it.
Speaker 10 (06:43):
Steffanie Stiffee, I was I was actually trying to connect
with you.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
This exhibit is really important to me, and I thought
that I could just Oh my.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
Gosh, crop William just text me, and I need to
make sure that all the paintings are even and leveled.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, that's what I've just such no timeline. I gotta
find it, take measure. Oh come on, what I what?
Speaker 4 (07:12):

Oh ok yeah, six.
Speaker 3 (07:20):

Indy to fetch.

Okay, okay, fine, fine, I downloaded a dating now yeah,

Finally, did I see us? Wait a second? Okay, well

No, no, no, no no wait hold on. We are doing
this tonight. We don't make an old woman repeat herself.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Okay, fine, but I am definitely not swiping right on
anybody tonight.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (07:52):
Oh look at him, Jared thirty seven, a firefighter.
Speaker 12 (07:57):
Swipe right, swipe right, one no way.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Look at his photos. He's shirtless and literally every one
of them. I can I can just imagine the date
right now.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Man, I'm Jared.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I love staring at myself in the mirror and lathering
my body in baby oil.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I will definitely break up with you using the three
word tex and a thumbs up emoji.
Speaker 12 (08:17):
Fine, fine Left.
Speaker 13 (08:19):
I meet up Emilio twenty seven, a poet. He looks
very respectable and he's wearing a shirt.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
No, he's way too young. Plus he's dressed like a
pretentious hipster. Okay, hipster, yeah, a hipster. Trust me. If
we went on a date, it would be a total disaster.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Hi, I'm a Milio.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I'm only really interested in hearing the sound on my
own voice and talking about.
Speaker 14 (08:43):
My extremely niche underground music taste, which you definitely I
haven't heard of.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Oh ghosha.
Speaker 12 (08:49):
After a second date, why not boys? No hipsters left?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Oh wow.
Speaker 13 (08:56):
Fernando thirty nine, owns his own bookstore.
Speaker 15 (09:02):
I enjoy quiet mornings and in the early nights. I'm
an art enthusiast, a dog lover, and I'm looking for
a real, meaningful connection with someone who's satisfied spending a
quiet Saturday evening inside just being together.
Speaker 12 (09:17):
He's perfect Colla.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
There's no way a guy like that would go out
for a guy like me.
Speaker 12 (09:22):
I want this.
Speaker 13 (09:24):
Fernando would be lucky to have a sensitive, intelligent, maybe
too skinny, and she would eat more young man.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Like you in his life.
Speaker 12 (09:33):
And you never know, he could be sitting alone on
his couch. You just waiting for you too, all right,
all right.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Okay, okay, fine, fine, fine, I'm swiping right. Okay, Holy crap,
it's a match.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Okay, Okay, he's asking if I want to go grab
dinner with him tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I want to say yes. No, no, I can't say yes.
I can't ditch you for dinner.
Speaker 13 (09:54):
Well, I don't know what this ditch, but I will
save you some leftovers. You are going on that date?
End of this question?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Okay, what It's just a date. Breathe I'm not gonna
be nervous about things we nervous about.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Stephanie, Why are you texting me at eight pm?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Okay? What do you want?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
May have accidentally posted your weird art video going viral,
so sorry, not sorry.
Speaker 10 (10:45):
Now I'm walking walking along than me.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
This is not good.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Okay, okay, okay, breathe on, you're walk down.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I told you it was, you told me you deleted.
How many people have seen it?
Speaker 11 (11:02):

Speaker 16 (11:02):

one hundred thousand. What Honestly, my mom's cat gets more engagement.
Just think of it as free brand marketing for the
It's a huge wind.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
Weirdly, there are a ton of us in the comments
asking for your Instagram.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Oh my god, no, no, no, no, what if Fernando
saw this? Oh I'm so sorry. No, I have to
go CHESSI chessy. Oh thank god, Oh, thank god.
Speaker 15 (11:41):
One Fernando, it's great to meet you.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I have to leave. I have to leave.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I got claustrophobic, and I spilled somebody's drinkle over my
shirt and the stain it's it's not gonna come out
unless I put the turgeon on it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And my always says that the first four hours are
critical for removing stains.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
And if I don't go home right now, then then
then there's a chance that the shirt will be ruined.
And I can't ruin the shirt because I don't have
that mean next year.
Speaker 15 (12:08):
Hey what, just breathe, just breathe. Good forget the bar.
How about a walk. The cold air will help, I promise.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Okay, I'm honestly shocked that you didn't go sprinting in
the other direction as soon as you saw me. I'm
pretty sure I looked insane. I think I might still
look insane. Oh actually, oh my god, I look in
sane right now, don't I don't.
Speaker 15 (12:32):
I you look great. I used to get panic attacks too.
How are you feeling?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Honestly a little better? Things?
Speaker 15 (12:40):
Brisk walk and fresh air works wonders on the net.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, right, nerves, I think actually being to be honest,
I was nervous to meet you.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
It was a big part of it.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, it's it's been it's been a while, you know,
since I've been out on a date to what really, Oh,
come on, I don't I don't believe that for a second.
Speaker 15 (12:57):
I mean it's partially by choice.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Wait, what do you mean?
Speaker 15 (13:01):
Well, it's hard to find someone who's just satisfied with
a quiet Saturday evening and you know, one of those
nights where you can just sit and read a book
together and my piece of art just just let it
wash over you.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Wow, I exactly what you mean.
Speaker 15 (13:19):
I guess. I guess some people would call that picky.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I'm kind of picky about certain things too, you know,
I'm always I always felt like my exes they never
really got it, you know, or were like annoyed by it.
You know, maybe the way I organize my room or
make my bag.
Speaker 15 (13:36):
You know, your space is your sanctuary.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Thank you exactly. Yes.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Wow, oh, hey, we're at the museum. I oh, that's funny.

I'm the curator here.
Speaker 15 (13:50):
Oh, I know. You know I might have seen a
TikTok of you earlier today, the one with the Delano painting.
It was, Oh, it was refreshing. I haven't seen anything
so genuine online a long time.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
It's just sometimes I lose myself in a painting. It's
like I don't even realize it until it's already happening.
Speaker 15 (14:13):
I feel the same way when I lose myself in
a great book. You know, I'm not surprised that you're
the head museum curator. I mean you must be in
heaven surrounded by all those pieces of art.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Yeah, well it's yeah, it's also a lot of work.
Speaker 15 (14:26):
Oh it must be. I mean you must stay after
hours all the time just to experience the paintings without
the hustle and bustle of the crowds, no responsibilities, no distractions,
just you and the art.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Yeah, yeah, I absolutely, I am. I am the head carriator,

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Oh, come on, I haven't seen you since Operation Eric.
Shouldn't I get a hug or something.
Speaker 15 (20:59):
I'm giving you three seconds, taging one to you know.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Prison wasn't too bad, and I had a bunch of
time to think, found God or whatever.
Speaker 15 (21:09):
I always figured you'd burst into flames if you step
foot in the church. Where's my father?
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I'm right here, Fernando. Did you acquire the painting?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
A tough night because.
Speaker 15 (21:23):
I made contact with the mark, but things got complicated.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I need more time or a bigger brain, better skills tech.
Speaker 15 (21:32):
I swear to.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
God enough both of you, Fernando. I'm preparing to step
down as head of the family business. I'm ready to
hand the reins over to somebody who can handle the
responsibility of running an international gun empire.
Speaker 15 (21:51):
I'm ready, Toad. I've been preparing my entire life watching
the way you handle the business, the way you keep
the authorities in line. I mean, what is so funny?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I'm just picturing you dealing with the authorities.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
I swear to God, Gigi every time, Fernando, my boy,
I respect your enthusiasm, but I am wary of your tactics.
They're fallible at best, emotional erratic. And I've been awakened
to another possibility, another possibility for what exactly Your cousin
(22:29):
has come to me with the proposal. She believes she
can run the business better than you can, that she's
the stronger.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Gone, stronger, better, and more stylish.
Speaker 15 (22:39):
Are you kidding me? She is a literal red flag
in that bright red coat, leaving a disaster in her wake.
After every goddamn.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Job you say potato, I say you're reckless, and I
say your spinals.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Enough bakery for Christ's sake. Yes, Gigi may have eccentricities, Fernando,
but she also gets resolved eccentricity.
Speaker 15 (23:06):
She's a maniac.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
To move an empire into the future, we need to
think out of the box, which is why I am
giving you one more opportunity, my son, one more chance
to prove yourself worthy of shepherding our family's legacy into
the next era.
Speaker 15 (23:25):
Get me that painting and if I fail, if I
don't secure the painting, if I can't.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Well, then the business is mine, bitch.
