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

(00:35):
So how did you dare to surbey me?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Bridger Wine girl.
What's happening? What's happening? I think this is the first
show post the live show in New York. We're back
in Los Angeles. We had a ball, We had the
time of our lives. If you weren't there, that's something
you will just kind of regret for the rest of
your life. That will haunt you. And I hope it does.

(01:12):
I hope that's just on your mind constantly. So that
was the And then I was in New York for
a few days and almost nothing happened like The other
memorable thing was I had a bad Lentil soup, which
I thought was the safe bet, and I wasn't even
able to finish the cup of soups. I don't know
what went wrong there. On my way home, this is important.

(01:36):
In the uber, on the way back to the airport,
they had the little screen. And of course I'm figuring
out what my horoscope is. And I'm just gonna read
this for libras. It said take this summer to plan
a camping trip with close friends and reconnect. So that
was timely. I adore today's guest. Everyone adores today's guest.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
It's caught you, not everyone, not everyone.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Well, we don't want to hear about the other people.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
People who would disagree. Now you thank you for having me.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Of course, welcome to I said, no gifts.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I am happy to be here. Did you figure out
what kind of rat you are?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
No? I couldn't figure honalas I'm a wood rat.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
I wonder if that's compatible with a water dog. Oh what,
I guess we'll find out.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
I wonder what on at least? Do you know what
the qualities of a wood rat are? Well, I know
that just for a rat, you're supposed to be charming
and hard working, so thrifty. Oh my god, that that
one actually works? That is so that? I mean one
out of three isn't bad.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
That's great?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Wow, interesting would rat? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:37):
And you know if you go to them the I
think it's the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art Lakama.
They have an incredible circle of sculptures that are of
all the animals and the Chinese zodiac. The snake is amazing,
the pig is amazing. It's they're beautiful.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Is this a temporary thing or no, it's there.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
It's like they're permanent. It's like an on the outside
by the restaurant. Check it out. It's really great.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
So you're a water dog? What does that mean?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I just take it literally because I am a profuse,
prodigious sweater and you know, female impersonator, So just sweaty
bitch makes sense.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Right, of course, it's right.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
All.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, I knew I was a rat for a long time,
but I had no idea that were I mean in
so many senses of the.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Word, like a rat searching ground looking for a food.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I mean I have said on this point jealous. I'm
not a really jealous person.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Are you a tittletale?

Speaker 2 (03:29):
No? But I have said on this podcast before that
it's very pro snitch, pro rat rat. Yeah you got us.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
I would never, no matter how many fingers they cut off,
I would never tell I would never.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Do you really think you wouldn't snitch on principle?

Speaker 3 (03:44):
I so admire the people who get like flayed alive
and then won't talk because that then it's just on it.
It's it's like the ultimate last thing you can do.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
You know.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
It's as like when it's a power play, right, even
if the information is like not even that great, not
even whatever. If I'm getting tortured, I'm not going.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
To say it. To torture someone to death and not
get a juicy tidbit out of them, that's.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
And they have to live with that guilt and these
you know, it's a whole right. I get to go
to heaven and they are going to hell, and it's all.
It's wonderful.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah. I think that there are particular people I wouldn't
snitch on. But if I were in the mafia or
something like this, I think I would be.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Going to get whacked. Yeah, so you're essentially killing yourself.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yes, of course, and why not I guess to be
killed by the mob.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, I mean they're just gonna Yeah, that's true. I mean,
I I just recently watched Goodfellas.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh I love Goodfellows.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
It's fantastic, and you know, and the Godfather Wait, speaking
with Godfather, have you seen Mega Floppolis?

Speaker 2 (04:42):
I've seen the first hour. Okay, I got a little sleepy.
I got a little because you know, I mean, it's insane,
it's so wild to watch. But the story is so
just all over the place that you stop following it
and starts to feel like someone's telling you a dream
or something.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
And I just was like, oh, yeah, I was tempted
to go in theater, but I just I don't want
to be bored at the movies.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
No, and you are kind of bored, I think if
you were. I think my audience was weirdly taking the
movie seriously, and you want to be there with people
who are like on board with Oh, we all think
this is a crazy movie kinds of shit. Yeah, right,
And it felt like everyone around me wanted to see
the movie, so it was boring, damn. But I've heard
the last half has some really wild moments as well

(05:24):
that I'll have to.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
You'll catch it on streaming stream The Substance.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Oh, I loved The Substance. I had a great time.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
One of the best movie going experiences of my life.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
It is so I mean, I will say, forty minutes
too long.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Oh interesting.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I felt like it kind of ended and then I
mean the ending, The last like third of it is
so outrageous, fond and outrageous to watch. But it's like,
maybe it could have just tightened it up a bit
or something.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, I think if I watched it twice and I
was like if I had the first time I saw it,
I was like, Okay, it's my favorite movie. This is
gonna be my personality for the next three years. And
then I again, I'm like, Okay, this is just a movie.
There are flaws, and I think I would have nixed
the strigen known of cooking. Second. Oh, I would have
just got rid of that altogether. Then that's the only
place I feel I could have been trimmed. But god,

(06:13):
I love that fucking movie.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I went in knowing literally nothing, Oh you did.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
I mean very not. I had seen only the teaser,
not the trailer.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I hadn't even seen a teaser. I knew that the
demur wasn't it, And I knew that the title was
the substance.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Oh my god, I'm so jealous. That must have been amazing.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, because I kind of went in thinking it was
going to be kind of like a hard drama or
like a really dark drama, and it's like oh pure,
Tom called the subs.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
I just can't believe Margaret Qualley's breasts were prosthetics. They were, Yes,
they were.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Was that like match to me?

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah? Yeah, because Margaret. And it's interesting because you know,
she's the younger, more perfect version of Demi Mour But
the real life actress does not have big boobs, right,
so they needed to give her big boobs which seamless, incredible,
unclockable breasts.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Wow. And I was so proud of them to make
a movie where they just cast a younger actor to
play the younger part, rather than putting the actor in
weird makeup.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
The breast Yeah, yeah, yeah, uncanny.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Valley, Tom Cruise flipping on a train making hot chocolate,
don't you think.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
While we were talking about other options for Margaret, quality
looks like Jennifer Connolly.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh wow, But.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Jennifer Connolly is not old enough. She's only fifty. Although
Demi Moore is sixty sixty, playing fifty it works better.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, Connelly would have had to play forty.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, but then it's like get too young to right.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
It doesn't make enough sense. I mean maybe it would
just be an even edgy or but look at.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, and I think the meta Demi Moore's career gave
it a huge robust flavor that it wouldn't have had
with another actress, you know, because she's gone through the
plastic surgery scandals and all that crowd.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Oh right, that's true, Like she actually brings something to
it personally. Yeah, oh no. I had such a good time,
and I was obviously just so repulse over and over
and over. But the thing that really like makes me
feel bad is seeing like close ups of a syringe, going,
oh my god.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
If you don't like that kind of stuff, if you
don't like like like large gauge needles puncturing like festering wounds,
this is not the movie for you. Baby. It is
tough to I usually don't. I usually flinch. I was
just very glad there were no needles in the neck, oh,
because that's one of my pet peeves. We don't do

(08:29):
needles in the neck on planet Earth.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Like, yeah, who whatever.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Nobody does needles in the neck unless they're like heavy
hardcore heron auticts. But even then, it's not like a
gem in in. It's very slow, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
And there are just so many other areas of the
body that you can go through.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, and if you're doing like I just hate that.
Any writer out there in Hollywood, please don't write that
into your script, the whole jabbing the thing in the
neck and then all and then they immediately like fall down.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Oh the im media falling down. I think we've got
to figure out.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yes, you have to write it because like an intramuscular
injection is going to take about fifteen to twenty five
minutes to take effect. And I recently saw a movie
where that happened and I was like, oh, yes, and
but you know the whole like jam it in the thigh,
they fall over.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I hate that, right, And I mean even with like
in action movies being people being shot and then just
falling over. I think we're ready. We're all adults. We
can see a little bit more of the struggle. You
don't just fall to the ground, right.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
And if it's in reality, you can't slide and then
fall off a cliff and hang with one hand, like
not even an Olympic athlete could do that. No, not
even like the best gymnasts could do.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
That would rip your arm off.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah, yeah, you would just not be able to grip
and hold like it's fucking and then hold somebody else the.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Upper body strength. I mean, unless that's part of the story.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
It never is. It's always like die hard or like,
you know, they're human beings and those supernatural powers, yet
they can get they can stick a needle in somebody's
neck and there immediately die or get. You know, it's just, oh,
I hate it so much. I hate it.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Did you watch Long Legs?

Speaker 3 (10:00):
I did. I thought it sucked. I you know, brilliant marketing.
I was so crhymed, pumped, psyched and ready to have
like my head blown off and to have nightmares for
like six months.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Hmmm.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
My friend and I laughed like all the way through.
And it was such a rip off of Silence of
the Lambs of like seven, even David Lynchy kind of
it was. It was so shitty. I hated it so much.
No offense to the director. I'm sure he's a lovely person,
but yeah, it was just so over hyped and under delivered.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
No, this is exactly You're maybe the third person on
this podcast I've asked if they had seen it. They hadn't,
and so that I'm just like, well, I have nowhere
to share these feelings. This is exactly how I felt.
I felt like the first like minute was like, oh,
this is kind of spooking.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Well, you know when when Spoilerer when right at the beginning,
when she says it's that house, he goes in and
gets shot immediately. That was a lovely cool fair moment.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Tints with like the plastic hanging from the sea.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Very haunting. That's it.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
It's so after that then it's just ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, it's like I might come back. Was twice so
it was man made and we were laughing. I was like,
I know this is supposed to be creepy in a
lynche in that sort of way, but it's just failing
at it.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
I wondered throughout the movie if it weren't Nicholas Cage,
if it would have been scary, But I just kept thinking, that's.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Nick kg No, he was the best part of it.
I thought he was very good.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
But I just kept thinking, this can't be a scary monster.
It should be an anonymous actor that I that at
least feels like they're from another realm. Yeah, otherwise I'm like, oh,
it's just him and makeup.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
And also a good job, Like it was like she's
an FBI agent and she didn't bother to check her
mom's courting house. Like it was like so bad. I
was like, oh whatever, Yeah, it was such a disappointment.
But then I saw the Terrifier Part three.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh, that looks genuinely scary to me, is it? All
three of them look so scary.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Well, I'm gonna be frank. Number one piece of shit.
Number two very very shitty and long. Number three tight
and very well improved. I shouldn't have said they were
shit because I'm lobbying hard to be cast in the
fourth one.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Well, you've got thoughts that you can share with the
creative team.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
No, I would never know. I said I would give them.
I would come with no notes or anything. I'd just
be very like, you know, enthusiastic about whatever they wanted
me to do.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
But it is.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
I saw it on a sneak preview night with you know,
diehard horror fans at the Egyptian Theater, and that experience
rivaled the substance because it was all a bunch of
freaks who love Gore and the movie is so disgusting.
It's so disgusting. It's relentlessly, brutally, sadistically disgusting, but not

(12:42):
in the hostile kind of way, right, like not like
hostile Saw, Like it doesn't try to emulate the real world.
In fact, there are supernatural elements to the killer now
into the Kills, but spoiler alert, there's a chainsaw up
the ass oh my, and to the genet and that's
just like not even the most horrifying part. It's like

(13:04):
it just never stops. It's so we were screaming and
everybody was screaming, and I'm like, oh, this is great.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
And does the gore feel realistic?

Speaker 3 (13:18):
It's it's like jiallo. I think it's like it's it's Saw.
A lot of the Saw movies do really try to
emulate realism and hostile, especially because that is torture, porn
human beings torturing other human beings. In this one, there
are demons. There are possessed demons from it. So it

(13:39):
is a supernatural horror. But in the gore is very
grindhouse splashy splatter.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Okay, I can handle that, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
It's like the blood doesn't look like real blood a
lot of the times.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Very corn syrup or where it's like almost like orange e.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
It's like and there's so much of it, and like,
but but you see everything like the chains off the
ask and then the whole front by I mean.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
The tagline should just be used everything you do.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
And it like there was a there's a notorious kill
in the second one that was so brutal. It was
really tough to watch, and it went on forever and
just when you think it couldn't get any worse, it does.
And but yeah, like it's just it's sick and psychotic.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
What is the story of the film. I know, it's
like a crazy looking clown crazy.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Well, so he was decapitated in the second one. Okay,
so his decapitated body comes back. You know, it's like
they have to conjure the supernatural lore in order to
make their logic work. But now Art the clown, the
killer is super sadistic. He goes to a moll and
blows up kids. He has a his I think a

(14:48):
victim that he tore the face off of in the
first one is now his like accomplice. She's like a
demon lady because she's possessed and she is really cunty.
She really lets you have it. And so they're like
a duo and it's like like Bonnie and Clyde very disgusting,
twisted demon clown version.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
That must have been a real conversation between the two
of them. Her getting on his side post face being
ripped off.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Oh yeah, well she did in factor She hardly factored
in on the second one, I think, and then her
inclusion to this was a real real It's cool because
it's like you get to see, like, you know, the
Aussie and Harriet, Bonnie and Clyde kind of like like
the mister and missus Smith kind of like working together
to kill every single person in the world.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
And where does Arthur come in the first movie? Where
did you come from? He's just a clown, angry clown.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yes, very sadistic, very and he's like super faggy. Oh
but he's like he does this a lot like.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Presentation we need.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yeah, he's he's really broad. Never he doesn't speak at.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
All, Okay, but he's like and there's.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Like like he'll like he is super super flamboyant and
and the way that like Freddy Krueger is and but
he's the most animated, silent, flamboyant killer that there is
in horror.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
I think you point out something I've obviously noticed but
never realizes. Freddy Krueger is very flamboyant.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
He's all over the place, faggot like, and you know
what he really I grew up watching those movies. I
still have nightmares. What's crazy about him is that, like, yeah,
he gets you in your dreams, and he also tailors
them to your fears, and he like there it's very
like bespoke murders, do you know what I mean? He
like he'll do the most horrifying thing to you because

(16:34):
he's in your head and you can't escape from him
because in your dreams. Oh, it's just so Whereas Jason
and Michael Myers lumbering, Yeah, fuck off, it's so boring.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
But I mean, at least Michael Myers has the decency
to like turn the mask inside out, try something new.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
I don't know, I'm sorry. I don't think any of
those movies are good, not even Halloween one.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
No, I love Halloween One.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
But what about this? Remember the first scene, who kills somebody?
Like this just kind of like one of those birds
that car the POV like through the mask is like
that's how they're like, you do this, you don't like
move your head, you know it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
If you think about it, who does a psychotic out
of their mind and it's going to bed. That's that's
what made him evil. It was a real trial throughout
my life.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Who's your favorite horror character?

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Oh, that's a very good question. Let me think about
this for a moment, because I wanted to. I want
it to be an accurate I love horror, but I'll say, oh,
I actually don't think I have because the ones that
really scare me are ones that they're kind of just
normal people, you know, like the strangers.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Oh, yeah, that's it. Home invasion does not. I don't
like that at all.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
It feels bade hush, No, what's this?

Speaker 3 (17:57):
It's a home invasion movie and the girl is death. Oh,
it's fucking scary.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Sounds it's very.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Scary, Like he he kills her friend right at the door,
at the glass window, and he doesn't understand she's deaf
and she's like banging it. It's it's a little unbelievable
in a way, but it's really, really, really scary.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
I think now I'm thinking, Uh, the House in the Haunting,
I think that might be my favorite villain.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
The House and the Hunting.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Have you seen the Haunting the Sixties one.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
I don't know, it's so good. Okay, I got it.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
It's fantastic. It's just like a guy brings some people
together to study this house and it's very spooky. It's
like it holds up pretty well as a haunted house movie.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Who's your favorite?

Speaker 3 (18:41):
I like Candy Man.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
You never seen Candy Man?

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Oh, I highly suggest it. Tony Todd plays the cool
thing about like people who like follow me, but they're
so sick of me. He's talking about this, but like
the cool thing about that movie, not the remake. Did
not like the remake. But it's it's all of the
most of the act, most of the the scary stuff
happens during the day in broad daylight. And he has

(19:06):
this like hypnotizing quality. The main character is studying like
these urban legends and in this like improverished part of
I think Chicago, and she's a white woman grad student
and when he like haunts her, he's like helln well,
and his voice is so she never screams. Ever, she

(19:28):
gets hypnotized. Oh and it's crazy. And she actually got
hypnotized on set by a hypnotist and it started to
drive her crazy. What Yeah, it was cool, and his
voice is so once you hear it, it is it
is so effective at being fucking terrifying.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
And does he come out of a mirror like Floody.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Mary's exactly five times you say candy Man, and then
his hook will get you from stem to stem to stern,
from crouch to throat.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
From crouch to chin. Yeah. Oh wow. Have you ever
been hypnotized?

Speaker 3 (20:02):
I've you know, I've there was. I went to the
Mad Russian in Boston to try to get hypnotized for
smoking quitting smoking. Didn't work, No, I wish it had.
I don't think I'm hypnotizable.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
I mean I was going to say so many people
swear by it, but then I'm like, all those people
are just people I've heard in like ads or whatever.
It's like, Oh, I don't.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Really believe it. I mean, I just can't imagine really
like right, like totally sober, you know what I mean,
like really like alert, like not tired.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Like I mean, I think I'm too skeptical that I
would just be thinking about that through the entire process,
and even if it were possible, it would get in
the way of my brain being free to be impressionable.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
I mean, I'm open to it.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
I would love to be hypnotized.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, it would be fierce.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
I mean, if that's a real thing that can happen,
it's magic.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
I well, you know what. I was on the street
the other day walking home from Ralph's and this young
boy was like following me and then he like tied
me on the shoulder at the intersection. He's like, he
is like katya. I was like, yeah, He's like, do
you want to see a magic trick?

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (21:02):
I know that. I was like in my head him
like absolutely, fuck not. But then of course I was
just like sure whatever, and he blew my mind.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
What did he do?

Speaker 3 (21:10):
I can't I can't succinctly describe it, but he basically
he took my phone and gave it back to me.
Then I took his phone and I didn't type anything
into his phone. And then long story short, he had
told me to think of a place, a very specific place,
not like a country, but somewhere or like some a

(21:31):
very specific place. And I thought of one i'd been to,
and he said the Upper House in Hong Kong. And
there was no way for him to know that who
there was just through the process there was No. I
was like, holy shit, he was. I was like, how
did you do that? He's like magic? I was like,
oh my god.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
I mean everything about the setup of that is like.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
He'sh I wish I know, I really because the way
that he did it, the process, at the order of events,
it really seemed impossible, well for me to have for
him to have known, right, obviously I'm dumb, and it
worked really well. But it was like, yeah, it was
mind blowing. Is twenty one years old?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Wow? He just takes your phone and then vanishes in
a cloud of smoke. Oh he got me?

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Oh god, oh no. I've been to one hypnotist show
and I always find them very annoying because I'm like
everyone on stage just seems to be faking it, of
course and trying to act wacky.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yeah. I always think their plans. Yeah, i mean, who's
there to Yeah, none of that stuff impresses me, really,
I'll close up. Magic's a little interesting.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yeah, it's at least impressive.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah, it tricks me. It's just once you like watch
a video about how to do it, it's all the thing's
all spoiled, you know.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
You know.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Anyways, I mean, look, I think there's something else we
should talk about. I love magic, but there's something else
that appeared in the studio today.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yes, a gift.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, the podcast is I said no gifts, which.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Is and I'm an Icona class.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Famous iconic rule break.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
But wait, look at please describe it.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Okay, Yeah, this is because when you walked into the
studio you were holding a just a shopping.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Bag, Ralph.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, which a lot of guests on this podcast Wilder
show up essentially with a garbage bag or whatever, and
that's the wrapping. I thought, oh, that's but then you
pulled it out and it was so beautifully.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
I didn't have any wrapping paper at home, so I
that was a gift bag that I cut up. And
then I found some baby Rick rack in my studio.
It made it as like because didn't have any ribbon,
and it's so shittily wrap that I think it needed
a little ribbon.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
I think it's so cute.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
But that card stock is very expensive, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
And it feels expensive. It's textured. Yeah, and then it's
got my name in Russian. Yeah, so yeah, wow, that's amazing.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, that's a b. The P is an r that
middle one with the triangles A D. It's just such
a strange, wonderful language.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
How did it take you to learn to write Russian?

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh? Like two days?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Two days?

Speaker 3 (23:58):
That's so easy really?

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, you can learn the alphabet in like four hours.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Hell, is there alphabet twenty six letters? I think it's
like thirty three thirty three?

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, they have and they have some. They have a
couple of letters that are like not letters. They're called
signs that they like affect the pronunciation of other letters.
I love cyrillic alphabet so much. It's so sexy.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Oh it's I mean, it's so beautiful. It really is
really stylish looking.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, it's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
It gives much more of an impression than our alphabet. A.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Please open the card and read it. And there's a
gift inside as well.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
In the envelope. Yeah okay, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Ten rubles, yes, ten rubles and it says good luck.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Oh, it says good luck? And how do you say that?

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Dachi?

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Wow? Okay, So tell me why you gave me ten roubles.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Because I just found it. I was like, I was
looking all over my house. I was like, God, what
do I I was going to give you? I had
these HeLa monsters that were all bubble wrapped.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Like, oh, how many of them do you have?

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Free? I don't think they're actually a heal of monsters,
but they're giant lizards. And but then I was like,
what can I give them? I wanted to give him
something useful. I give you something useful. So I gave
you something useful.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
It's such a beautiful piece of currency. It's got a bridge,
it's got some sort of tower on it, multiple colors.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
I think in today's economy it's probably worth about eight
cents or less even I'm rich. Yeah, Like I think,
like ten thousand rubles is like five dollars.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
The podcast Now, well, I mean I think it's been
said before, but literally every other country has such better
looking currency.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Well, I mean Canada and Canada, specially Canada, Australia when
they have the plastic non breakable ones.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Oh I haven't seen this.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Oh are you kidding me? The Australia, Canada, I think
many euros. Now, they're they're you know, they're like plastic clear.
You can't rip them, you can go through the wash,
you go in the ocean, like seriously, they're they're unbreakable
and they're so like slick and smoothly, but they're.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Still like foldable to put in a wallet.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Oh, I mean the same basically the same size as
all the other like a dollar.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
How are we so we are behind?

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Flop? We flapped so hard on payment and payment methods.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
As a country that is so obsessed with money, you
would think we can't.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Seem to get it right in any department.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
My god, well I'll have to. I'm gonna spend big
with this, yeah, or maybe invest it?

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Oh yeah, just invest it. It's your nest egg.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
This is my my grandnieces will be very thankful for this.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I'm a curious. Can you look up how much ten
rubles is because I really think it's probably point zero
one sense, it's something very love I feel like.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yeah, hon, least find out because it's ten cents ten cents,
so wow, this is a lot more than I had
planned on a bill. I'm on vacation, yeah, yeah, yeah, traveling.
Do you have a lot of Russian currency?

Speaker 3 (26:52):
No, that's the only one I found in my house.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Where do you think it came from?

Speaker 3 (26:56):
A fan in Nashville?

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Interesting that in a red Lobster gift card.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
A tencent gift card twenty bucks.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
That's great, brought you that?

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Oh so you haven't gone out? Got to take yourself
to red lobster like lobster. Do you like crab?

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Nope?

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Any sort of shellfish nope? Oh well the.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Rats of the sea lobster.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
They are bugs.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
They're like bottom feeders.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
They're giant insects. But I think they're delicious, you do,
I know, But I don't eat them that off, no see,
And that's probably why I think they're good, because like
it's so rare and I never am just like eating
the full thing and like cracking the bottom like a
lobster roll probably things yeah, where it's like an element
rather than a yeah, lobster ll. I think it's the butter.

(27:41):
I think that that's kind of the element that I
really like in the lemon so much.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
I'm such a picky eater though. What's what's your favorite food?

Speaker 2 (27:48):
My favorite food, I would say probably burrito.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
What's in it?

Speaker 2 (27:53):
I like like a San Francisco Mission burrito. So living
in LA is kind of held where it's like whereas
rice and bean in guacamole and sour cream and.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Cheese in l A on your mind.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
La, you can but they're not good because l A,
there aren't a lot of good flower tortillas. There's I've
read like articles about this, okay, and it's very hard
to find a really good burrito. There are other like
La style burritos, but they're usually just like beans and meat. Okay,
but like if you go to San Francisco, phenomenal breedos
and they're like the sort of breedo that you can stand.

(28:27):
It's so it's like a football. Yeah, it's really a
beautiful thing. But I think burrito or a hero. I
love eros.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Okay, Well that's how you say zero?

Speaker 2 (28:36):
What do you say gyro?

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Well I did for about the first thirty years of
my life, and then I said, I thought there were heroes.
Oh hero is a year zero.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
I think it is zero. But I think a lot
of people just continue to say gyro and like that's
an accepted form of hero is a you were wrong,
you were simply wrong, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
I also love the Greek alphabet, which alphabet comes from interesting,
beautiful letters, lovely letters.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, I mean the Greeks were really doing it early on,
yeah everything, Yeah, they really they were leading the way
and that's why the euro is so delicious. But that's
another thing you can't really get in La because there's
not a large Greek population. So I've found myself in
a trap. Damn you gotta go to Grease, gotta go
to Greece. Have been no, I would love to go
to Greece. I would love to go to What's your
favorite food?

Speaker 3 (29:24):
If I had to eat one dinner meal for the
rest of my life, it would be what I had
last night, which was spicy beef noodles at this really wonderful,
great Chinese place buy my house called Land Noodles. I
suggested to try it. They're absolutely delicious, and then shy
it like chicken fried dumplings.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Oh that sounds phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
It's so good. This noodle place is off the hook.
Oh it's I think about it right now and I'm like, yeah,
lan noodles, check it out.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
You saying that reminds Probably a meal that I would
eat for the rest of my life is the fried
chicken plate at Doune. Have you been there? The Mediterranean
kind of word. It's like hummus and shredded cabbage. Unbelievable,
and they make the pita there.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
It's so right there.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yes, you've got to make the pita in store.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Yes you can't. You can't have it shipped in from
some lab or whatever.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Well, shul I opened this little box here. Okay, careful
with the baby rick rack. Okay, I'm being very I'm
gonna put this in my hair or something you can
do braids, braid.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Now, this is or something to keep in the house.
It's not for you, okay, this isn't for guests. Oh, fantastic,
something that people often overlook, especially guys. Okay, I brought
the right thing.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
That paper sounds so good.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yeah, oh yeah, a smr.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Oh it's so crispy party paper. Oh, this is a
This is fantastic. Actually, I wouldn't have I wouldn't have
this in my home. It's a box of tampons.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yeah, I mean especially I'm not going to assume your
your orientation. But yeah, gay guys. I had noticed a
lot of gay guys would never this would never ever
cross their mind. No, of course, you know, maybe if
they when their sister comes over, or their niece or
their mom or whatever, or they're you know, someone with
a bloody nose, someone with a vagina like you know,

(31:16):
it's always important to have tampons. I also have pads
in the houses.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Oh this is such a I mean this should be
a public service announcement right now, any.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Wellyould they also should be free?

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Oh yeah, of course. I mean it's a well known
scam on women. I mean there's so many the essential
tax where it's like, oh, here are a bunch of
other things you have to pay for, which this should
just be everywhere.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
They should be like hanging from trees everywhere.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
They should be next to the napkin dispenser at restaurants.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
They should be with the forking knife.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
They should be floating down rivers.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yes, they should be.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
They probably are actually killing doll new ones.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, this is a I mean, it didn't even cross
my mind. And the next time this is needed in
my home when a woman needs it, I'm going to
be an absolute.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
We're going to be a hero.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
You're gonna be a giro. I'm going to be a giro.
I will be a lamb and a delicious peda covered
in a yogurt sauce. So that sounds bad, but this
is a.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Also really I recently saw Carrie, so this was on
my mind.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Oh of course.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
That opening scene is pretty wild.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
That movie. I never saw the remake.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Don't Don't do Not ever please, no, no disrespect to
the people who did it, but there was no unnecessary Yeah,
it's like Carrie's masterpiece.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, it's so perfect and that Yeah, that opening scenems amazing.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
It's amazing. And it's like there's a lot of naked
bodies and it's like bush and titties.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Oh yeah, they really go for that.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yeah. Like Brian de Palmer said, you will see full
female nudity and a lot of it right away. It's
pretty wild.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah that in the seventies, I feel like a male
director could get away with that.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
While I was watching the Substance, I was like, if
a man directed this, he should be a rested.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah. I think that it does like it is. It
is reassuring that a woman director did that. But you know,
she has a real she in her other movie Revenge Too,
Like she loves butts, like she has the butt. Oh yeah,
it is like leering and like that. That that lens
is like but conscious, you know, and it's I was

(33:25):
thinking about how stressful for Margaret quality that must have
been the perfect version of denymore.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Nightmare every day waking up and thinking and now my
body has to be perfect.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yes, I mean I think that they did. Like they
you know, they sort of shined it up and post
a little bit, but you know it's like, fuck, that's
a lot.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Of pressure and they didn't have any butt doubles. Movies
will do that occasionally.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Yeah, I don't think they did. Yeah, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
So how is a butt double even found? Or is
there like a casting director.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Well, you think about like the people the team that
are like the who stand in for during lighting tests.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
You know, it's like that kind of thing, right, But
it's like do you go do you tell people you've
got to look at my ass? This is perfect for Hollywood?
Or is it somebody people scouting question?

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Maybe it's like a modeling gig.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Oh that makes sense, kind of like with like hand models. Yes,
that kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Oh my god, hand models. I mean if you've seen
in foot models, oh.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
The most perfect hearts of bodies that you could possibly see.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
And then you look at your own hands, I'm like,
oh my god, I the crypt keeper, right of course,
my one hundred and fifty years old. Yeah, that tricksy
is always getting on we'd like to put makeup on
my hands because they're often translucent gray and purple. But yeah,
like it's yeah, it's interesting to have like a perfect
part of your body and like make that your.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Career, right, I know it, Yeah, just like count on it.
But it's got to be scary knowing that it will deteriorate.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Oh yeah, well the hands, especially of course age. That's
why all the aging stars wear gloves now, they do,
I know.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
And a lot of people now are wearing gloves while driving.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Oh but driving gloves or you know, I mean.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
It's so chic.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, get the Telly or Sini Oh Italian Italian brand,
I don't know. They make exquisite leather gloves Telly Forcinilly. Okay,
I believe it's still a thing. Oh my god, buttery Soft.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Do you have a pair?

Speaker 3 (35:19):
I have several?

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Are they in your glove box which I'm now it's
just literally clicking that's where you have your driving.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
No, I've never had I've never driven with them. But
they're black and red like driving gloves. Oh, they're so sexy.
But I need to live in la When are you going,
know where? Like when you when your hand's cold?

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Oh, that's true. You know, yeah, I get I get
cold feet circulation.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Okay, yeah, do you have clammy hands?

Speaker 1 (35:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Really dry?

Speaker 3 (35:45):
I'm so jealous. Do your feme like ship at the
end of the day. No, do yours like the cat's ass? Yeah,
because I'm sweaty and gross. It's always like I somebody
wanted to hold my hand. It was tricksy. She wanted
a like grab my hand. I was like, you don't
want to do that, and she grabbed it anything. She's like,
oh my god, I just like.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
I told you this frictionless service.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Yeah, it's really gross.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
I might invest in some driving gloves.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Or opera length or all the way up to the shoulder.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
This podcast is very glove oriented, actually because I have
to do demonstrations with gifts and for the on Instagram,
I'll frequently have this. I have a particular pair of
gloves that are now filthy. They're like white opera gloves,
but no, it's it's probably like a cotton with a
little imbrota. You would not believe how dirty they are.

(36:37):
I do. I would believe it.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
White cotton gloves is just asking for it.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
And about half of our listeners are constantly demanding that
I washed them, and the other half are like, let
them get as dirty as possible. I accidentally washed one
the other day because I took them to New York
and then one snuck into a pair of pants and
got washed, kind of a hopeful story for the club.
I was like, oh no, I left it in New York.
Then I took laundry and I was like, no, it's
kind of cleaning. And so I guess I'm sad spying
both audiences. Now one's clean, one's filthy.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
That's great. Oh yeah, right, that's nice. But you should
you deserve a pair of like beautiful buttery soft opera
like up to the shoulder length red leather gloves from Italy.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Pulling those on every time I try, oh you will.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
It's like, I mean, I don't know if you're like
against you know, Vigan or whatever, anti whatever, anti leather,
but they're so it's like, oh my god, they're so
soft and they're so it's sumptuous.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Oh it sounds lovely. Kind of just a spa day
for your entire arm. Yeah, but what are you thinking
when a friend pulls up to your house and you
see them wearing driving gloves? Do you think what's going on?
Are you're like, oh cool?

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Are we? I was like, I would probably think like
are we? Is this an old timey movie or something.
I don't know anybody who could really pull that up right.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
It feels like such an affect. It's just like a.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Jimmy Stewart, Carrie Grant, Jimmy Dean kind of thing, or
like I don't know, like I don't who is driving?
But also what's the outfit?

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yeah, I really has to match the whole.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Little It's not like it's not like ath leisure, right, if.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
You're just in your pajamas driving out with this beautiful
pair of gloves.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
What do you think? I have to ask you? What
is your opinion on people who wear foot flops in public?
In LA?

Speaker 2 (38:18):
It's a very it's a tricky line to walk. I'll say.
I feel like there are certain people I'm like, Wow,
they're just comfortable with what they're doing. Then there's other
are other people who I'm like, you could pull it
together a little bit more, and you should give give
it ten percent more effort.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Put on a shoe.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Put on a shoe, please. I I'm trying to think
if I've ever wornd I mean, certainly in the past
I have, but I don't think I would now. I
think my feet are hideous, okay, and I don't want
people looking at them. Yeah, And also it just feels
too casual. It's just not I'm not on the beach, right,
and LA streets are absolutely feilfilthy. What's your take?

Speaker 3 (38:58):
I think that, I mean, I have. I have been
known to like walk out of the house to go
collect something from a like the car right outside, like
run out to get the mail in slides with my
photix pose I do. I'm now really kind of solidly
in the camp of don't ever wear them because it's
you're like disgusting, because it's just gross, it's filthy, and

(39:20):
I think it's I have more of a problem with
that than not washing your hands after using the bathroom
in a public restroom.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
That actually makes sense. My dick is not that dirty, right,
everyone's basically kind of clean, hopefully.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
Yeah. I've showered like once or twice every day. Right,
my generals This, sorry is gross, but my generals are
probably the cleanest part of my.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Body, right, you know what I mean? Just like and I.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Like I don't really touch the apparatus.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Wow, you're making a very good point here. Well, everyone stopped.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
I was listening to the podcast I listened to all
the time, and they were they were incredulous, or like
the amount of people it's a movie podcast and is
like they were both saying, the amount of people I
see walking out of the men's room or the women's
room without washing your hands, it's like seventy percent. It's disgusting,
it's unconscionable. It's filthy, it's gross, it's nasty. And I'm like, well,

(40:08):
I think touching all of the fussts and the stuff
is like nasty and like everything else, I just get
in there. I don't. I just as little contact with
the everything as possible. And then yeah, I don't know if.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
You washed yourself, that would be myself if you did.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
I know you always clean up the toilet.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Oh okay, so now we're right now, this is dangerous territory.
I do think you should be washing hands if you're
cleaning up the toilet.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
But I'm using a lot of toilet paper.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
You've gotta be using a lot.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
Yeah, it's it's my hands. A lot of hands are
not getting saturated with urine.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Baseball, mit level of toilet.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
Of course, I have my mits on go everywhere. I
think I'm digging myself into a really gross hole right
now because I'm not making I mean I do sometimes
wash my hands if I get up a plane, usually
because of the plane, because of the plane disgusting the
planes discussed.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Yes, you know war so no, I mean, I I
can see your argument here.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
I'm definitely saying like the world is disgusting.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
And yeah, like if you're walking around in La almost barefoot,
you were walking through minimum animal p likely human pee.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
And if you're in San Francisco, there's a lot of
human shit.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Oh yeah, I mean all of this is happening constantly
on these streets, on the sidewalks. And then you're like,
if you're not showering before bed, Oh do you.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Shower before No?

Speaker 2 (41:31):
I don't. But I've wear shoes in bed. I should
you make a very good point. I'll be ready to
go completely naked, choose.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Laced loafers, you know, like from floor shine, ready for
super shiny like dress shoes. Well, my grandmother was so
hyper vigilant she would like sleep with one leg on
the floor. Wow, I mean like she would be like this,
Like I mean perched and prepped like at a moment's
notice to just fly out of bed. I don't think
it did her a lot.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Of good in that, like the long run, now time
still got her. No, do you shower before bed?

Speaker 3 (42:10):
I think it depends on what I do during the day.
I think I'm generally more of a dirty person. I'm
not OCD. I'm the opposite of OCD, which I think
is a pig. And I don't like I'm glad. I'm
not like super No.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
I mean like like it's kind of paralyzing.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
Yeah, it's really tough, and I think so, although sometimes
it does does prevent me from allowing people in my
home because like, for example, if like my friend came
over the other day and I had anxiety, I was like,
and I couldn't tell him not to go upstairs because
I know he would. So now I'm thinking of like
doing like a chain or like a gate or something.
Because my bathroom was like looked like the room from Saw.

(42:51):
It was so gross eye yeah, like so gross, like
shamefully and like gross, like you need help, like professional help. Gross.
But but then I, you know, I go through phases
where I clean it and it's fine. Yeah, I are
you super clean?

Speaker 2 (43:05):
I'm very tidy. I wouldn't say like a clean freak,
but like I like things to be put away at
the very least. But like getting out the lysol and
like the bleach and everything to clean the house is
not happening. I'll vacuum. Oh wait, we gotta talk about vacuums. Oh,
I love to talk about vacuum.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
I recently learned. I recently learned the good news. I
recently am like a born again vacuum person because for
the longest time I thought, oh my god, of course
it's the dice in, very fuck that dice in. It's
the meala. What's this? M I E L E. Not paid,
They don't know anything about me. But it is the

(43:42):
only vacuum.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Now, is this a bag vacuum?

Speaker 3 (43:44):
See here's the thing. Yes, and it's a quarded vacuum, which,
if you're used to the battery powered not courted. But
it's a tough transition. But guess what, this vacuum actually
fucking works, whereas the diceon doesn't fucking work. And if
you put it on a high that battery that'll give
you about thirty eight seconds of activity. I'm battery powered.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
You've got that, you're gonna be recharging constantly.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
You put it on high, it's literally ten seconds.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Then at you're exhausted.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
It's horrible. I get that. The convenience is very seductive.
The lack of cord is very seductive.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Go anywhere, take it on your.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Trip, absolutely, you know. But and it is quite an
adjustment because I'm a big vacuumer. I love the vacuum,
and and the cord is is a real and it's
a little heavy, and it's it's it's it's you know,
but it works, it works, and it's expensive.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
How much does it cost?

Speaker 3 (44:36):
The one I bought was eight hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Eight hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
I'm going to buy a vacuum. I'm never going to
buy a vacuum. I'm never going to buy the right
and the amount of time I use it, Oh, it's incredible.
When you go to the store, they pour a bunch
of kitty litter on the floor to like do the demonstration,
and you're like, okay, I'll take it because it just works.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
What store is this?

Speaker 3 (44:57):
The vacuum store?

Speaker 2 (44:58):
I have to go. I want that it's.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
In it's called I think it's called Beverly Hills Vacuum
and it's on Santa Monica Boulevard towards Beverly Hills.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
Did you expect this whole demo?

Speaker 3 (45:10):
I did not.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Sound's delightful.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Alwa was incredible. He was like an old dude. It's
a small story. He's amazing, and he'll like show you
all the models. And it looks like it like a
fifties housewife kind of thing. Literally like really retro looking
like the Smeg refrigerators.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Oh I love yeah, yeah, I actually listened not to
brag to an episode of a podcast about vacuums.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
What were they saying.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Essentially what you're saying right now. You don't want to
get one of these, like uh, I don't cordless, the
cordless or the clear thing that shows you how much
dust is going into it. They're like, get the old
fashioned ones.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
And the other thing they say on it is the
best vacuuming is done as you're pulling backwards. Oh and
this song was coming from a vacuum expert.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
That may kind of sense though, because it's you're not pushing.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Right and you feel the drag, you really feel it
sucking things.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
And then it's got the attachments, the ones for the rug,
one for the hardwood floor, and the difference is so like, ooh,
it's just so satisfying.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Eight hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
It was eight hundred and fifty dollars to attacked. Yeah, it
was like I was like, oof, and I know what,
that's out of people's price range.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
But Dyson's are like four hundred dollars, right, I mean,
a regular vacuum is not that cheap.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
No, And it's a very important part of a person
with a homes life.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
It's a sort of like purchase like a mattress, where
you're like, well, I'm using this concept.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Ye, it's like a car purchase, right.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
I think you just justify it by like being don't
I don't spend any money. I use this every single day. Yes,
And so it's essentially since for a day.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
Absolutely, if you break it down, it's really like probably
like ten rubles a day.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Ten For ten rubles a day, you will be sucking
up as much catlet as you want.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Everything, all that shit will get sucked up. It really
really works.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
So how long have you owned this vacuum? For?

Speaker 3 (46:53):
About two years now?

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (46:55):
Okay, and I have no complaints.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
And was your house pretty dusty before? That was the
vacuum not doing job well?

Speaker 3 (47:00):
I also sew in my I sewstomes in my home,
so there's sequence everywhere.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
Means just notions, notions.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Threads in carpet, right, So I really need that extra suckage.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Right.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
It just really gets me. It really does its job.
I love it.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
I know. I think vacuuming is a very satisfying chore.
You see the results immediately.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
It is immediate. Yeah, the dopamine hit is like yeah right,
like damn, bam, damn sustained, Like awesome.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Did you mow lawns as a kid.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
I've never mowed a lawn.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
It's a similar thing where you're like, oh, I'm seeing
how clean, Like it's cleaning things up. I'm just I'm
essentially just pushing something and it's the results are here.
I don't have to wait.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
But doesn't it like fling the grass like.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
It depends on the lawnmower. The one I would use
as a kid had a bag that had to be empty.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
To gotch job. That's that freshly?

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Oh, the smell is so nice. You're out in the sun.
No complaints?

Speaker 3 (48:02):
What about what about the buggy or like the drive.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
What is that called a wheeled lawn no way, sit down,
sit down lawnmower?

Speaker 3 (48:15):
A tractor.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
I don't know. That's rich people don't know what is
that called. Is there an official thing for a lawnmower
that you drive.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
Either a ride on mower or tractor mower?

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Tractor? Right? I don't think I would like that as much.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
M I mean, I think it's like that to me
is in the same the same family as snowmobiles, and
that's scary to me.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
But to be driving a lawnmower that goes as fast
as a snowmobile, now there's an adventure.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
You will get a lot done in a day.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
My god, that feels like terrify her.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
For ye totally, Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
A clown on a ride on?

Speaker 3 (48:52):
Yeah, oh well there was that. There was that movie
where this the little child mode over her parents. Oh
but I don't think it was. I don't think it
was the tractor style.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
I think it was the right Oh, okay, okay, well
the movies. I think we have a new idea for
the movie business. Somebody drive over someone.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Yes, and it could Hey listen, Damien Leone, please cast
me in The Terrifier Part four and you can. I
was trying to think of, like what it would be
a fun way to kill me as a drag queen,
And I'm like, I think he should like maybe like
take my little heels and like gouge him in my
eyeballs and then like and then have Art like punch
a hole through my mouth in the back of my

(49:31):
head and then stick my wig like through it and out.
I don't know, like it'd be so cool. I really
want to get killed by Art the clown. I'm just
trying to put it out there.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
The next scene, I am run over by a lawnmar
going seventy miles an hour. Yes, it's incredibly really, I mean, actually,
do you know what I was going to ask you
or tell you. I just recently saw for the first
time The Hand that Rocks the Cradle? Oh my, how
have I gone this long without saying this movie?

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Oh my god, delightful. In know Rebecca de Mornay is, Oh,
Julianne Moore was fabulous than that.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
I'm surprised I didn't even know she was in it.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
Yeah, he's like, oh, oh my god. When she's like
she comes home, She's like where the fuck is clear?
She's in the greenhouse, and it's like, oh my god.
And then what she says to Solomon Peyton Flanners, which
she's I cannot repeat it here, but she is so,
Oh my god, it's so.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
And then she kind of cracks the case with the
wind window. It's so funny.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
Yeah, I'm looking for windshine, you know, I can get one.
Missus Motte, oh so cunty. And it's just like, I
don't know, if you know. I always like these, like
beloved of movies of mine from the nineties. Sometimes I
rewatch them. I'm like, oh god, this is trash, but
I love that movie.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
It's very fun. I've told a couple other people that
I watched it recently and they said to me, oh,
it's so scary, and that was one element. I was like, no,
it's not. It's very fun to watch.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
Hayten Flanders.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
That's what it's.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
What's what a pseudonym?

Speaker 2 (51:01):
I mean?

Speaker 3 (51:01):
If you're like that does that? That sounds very like
I won't kill you if my name.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Is completely asking anything about Peyton Flanders.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
Peyton Flanders, the breast Pump, the windshime. A lot of
like little clues in that movie.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
Of course, her appearing from behind the school bus to
be the nanny. Hello, I'm just a normal woman who
wants a nanny job off the street. Yeah crazy, don't
ask any questions. No, it's such a good time watching.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that
rules the world. I've never heard that before. That's not expression.
It's not an expression. It's not an expression.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
That's so not a pillow somewhere. I mean, it sounds
so much like a real expression, though, you're like, oh,
I guess I just never heard that one. But it's
also so evil sounding.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
It's like what so I mean, it's like a really
evil premise too, Like she's sexually assaulted by a gynecologist,
and then and then that guy of colleges is out
it commits suicide, and then his his widowed wife gets
revenge on the woman who who like out.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
Yeah, it's like really fucked up, really really fucked up,
very confused. The morning fucking plays evil very well.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Oh, she's fantastic.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
Cutting that apple with the knife in.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
Like, oh, anybody cutting an apple with a knife, you
know something's up, something that's going up. They're going to
steal your husband or kill you in the house.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Yeah, they're they're breastfeeding your child. Yeah yeah, and they're
they're sabotaging your friends. Yeah, it's crazy. What's your favorite movie?
We'll say from the.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Nineties, From the nineties, okay, I mean I could maybe
we just say from the eighties, just so so I
have an answer. I would say, I love It's it's
probably a tie between After Hours and King of Comedy.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
I have seen neither of them.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Neither of them.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
No, they're delightful, I'm sure. Is that Martin movies.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
And they're both like very out of his normal thing
because they're kind of like surreal comedies, and they're both
very funny, but very strange and like immediately entertaining in
the way the eighties movies are where you're like, there's
no boredom, you're just in.

Speaker 3 (53:07):
You love a movie that has not one extra fucking.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Scene, like, no superpose.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
Moments, not one fucking sentence doesn't belong there, you know.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Control it's great. What's your favorite movie?

Speaker 3 (53:20):
If I had, my quick answer is Witches of Eastwick.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
I've never seen it.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
It's fucking great And what every scenes fabri.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Tonally is it creepy? Is it fun it's it's the
super it's a it's a it's a.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
I mean, it's a thriller kind of. It's it's funny,
it's sexy. It's like it's three women who discovered that
they're witches and then that they conjure the devil to
move into their small New England town played by Jack Nicholson,
and then they become like this sex like well, I
won't give it away, but it's amazing. And there's it's

(53:54):
like cher Michelle fiv Ver, Susan Sarandon, Veronica Cartwright, who's
a choose up the scenery something. Jenkins who plays he's great,
and Jack Nicholson is just he is Jack Nicholson ing
in this movie.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
He's such a good pull for the devil.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
He is so incredible in this role.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Oh, I've got to see.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
You have to see it.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
Sounds delightful, you have to see it.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
The CG at the end is very unfortunate. Okay, right
at the last bit, it gets very bad. It's just
not they didn't really have that back then. It's like
an eighty eight.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
I think there are certain movies I remember, like that
whole Star Wars situation where they replace all of the
special effects with like CG and it was a giant disaster.
But I feel like if a movie has bad CG,
we should go back and help him out right.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
I was like, you know, it's funny like this movie.
Because of that, I think, oh, it should be Redone.
It was like, no, because you cannot replace those three women.
That's a trifecta.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
That cannot No, you're not going to find them again.
Who would that possibly be?

Speaker 3 (54:53):
No, I mean it had to be like Emma Stone,
there's not share is so share in in this movie.
She's so fucking good.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Oh, I'm so excited. Maybe this is to share. Oh
she's as an actor. Oh my god, she's Moonstruck is phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
Yeah. My film critic friend and an author, she I
was like having a tough time at while ago, and
she's like, hey, if you really need like a pick
me up, one of the like never feel good, feel
good movies is Moonstruck. And I'd never seen it before,
and she was one hundred percent right.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
So charming.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
It's charming, and it's lovely, and it's like an ethnic comedy.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
It's just so lovely and the mood is just right.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
Yeah, Nicholas Cage is so funny and hot in it.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
He can be so funny. Yes, I love Raising Arizona,
me too, such a good movie.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
Yeah, what's your favorite horror movie?

Speaker 2 (55:39):
Favorite? Okay? So this probably The Haunting? Okay, or like
if and like I said, if I want to be
genuinely scared the strangers.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
Oh yeah, and all I would live Tyler.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
With liv Tyler, and I'll say, this is not a
horror movie, but it is so scary to me as Zodiac.
I think the scariness of it is so well done
that you're telling, Yes, what's your favorite horror movie?

Speaker 3 (56:03):
I would probably say I was want to say Candy Man,
but it's not necessarily my like most like rewatchable horror movie.
I like a night right now on Street part three. Okay,
I've only seen the original Dream Warriors. I mean they
all get cheesy, but like, yeah, no, no, I think
the substance is definitely like up there. I think that's
probably my favorite horror movie right now.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
Wow, yeah that makes sense. Yeah, but it also does
oh oh no, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
I mean it's not horror essentially, but kinds of kindness.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
Oh, I've only seen the first third of it.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
Okay, there's there's another two.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
Yes. I kind of went just thinking, oh, I know
this is three things, so I get to see one
and I'll get to see the next two.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
I need.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
I highly suggest you watch the next two because it's
really it's an art film. Sure, I mean I can't like.
I know my friends who like here not they don't
watch subtitled movies or like you know that kind of
uncultured smiles.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
Yeah, dumb people.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
They well, they hate it because it's like, what is
this right?

Speaker 2 (56:58):
I don't want to think about this after I leave.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
It was so I was electrifized.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
I really liked the first third. Oh my god, I
didn't leave like, oh I have to get out of here.
It was just couky oh cooky.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Your sex cult?

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Oh what yeah, no idea.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
When they test the purity of you by putting him
in a super hot sona and then licking the salt
from your belly button. Yes, did you see the part
where she he makes her cut? No?

Speaker 2 (57:23):
No, I don't think the second one you're in it's
it really is a perfect thing because you can just
dip in and watch a forty five minute movie.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
I fucking love that because I'm like, I don't have
the stamina or the endurance because I'm not on my
if I'm watching a movie on my phone, of course,
like I I'd rather just be on my phone right
and not.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Have a movie. I have a problem looking and just
wasting my life away, and I'm going to do that
rather than watch.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
Yeah, I'll just doom scroll and get carpor Tone and
crick Mates. But in the but the movie has nothing
to do that. Plus, I don't want to watch a
movie that makes me want to look at my phone.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
Oh no, no, no, no no. That's why I have
to go to a movie theater.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
I love the theater.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
But this is mine And I've said this a million
times on this podcast. I have that like movie past
thing or whatever, first stubs member subs remember yeah, And
so if a movie is over three hours long or
three hours, I only see the first half. Then I
leave get on it. And if I like the first half,
I'll go back. But you're not You are not bapping me.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Is very interesting.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
You gotta try it. The feeling of walking out halfway
through it feels truly like you got out of jail.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
Well, yeah, that's like when I left when I cut
school to watch Hanging Up the movie and then then
left like forty five minutes in. But I rarely walk
out of a theater. I walked out of Twisters. Oh
you walk because I my friend. My friend and I
were like, we're gonna go see this. We know it's
gonna be bad. It was so bad, it's a very stupid.
There is a line the mom more a Tyranny says

(58:47):
she always loved Weather, talking about her daughter, like she
always loved Weather, Like, what the fuck so bad? We
walked out before even like the finale set piece was over,
like let's get the fuck out of here. Have you
walked out of movies because you hated them?

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Yes, there have been a couple when I can't remember
what they were, but they were like they're the sort
of movie everybody like this is an entertaining bat I'm
bored and it's enough. Yeah, it's like I don't need
to be here anymore. But I wish I could think
of them off the top of my head.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
You know, I was, and I was super tired, in
a terrible mood when I saw May December, which I
really regret because it's so good. It is like when
I read a bunch of criticism about it. It's like, oh,
that's not the movie I saw. Damn it. I need
to rewatch it. Yeah, because it's kind of it's like again,
not for like a dummy.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
Right, there's like a discomfort that like you have to Yeah,
the nuance is the discomfort. You're like, oh, there's a
reason for this. Yeah, that movie. I was shocked that
I watched it through the entire thing at home without
looking at my phone.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
That's impressive.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
I mean, yes, all credit to me and not the movie.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
What about Killers of the Flower Moon? Who saw that
in the theater?

Speaker 2 (59:53):
Okay, now I have to do it reveals it. I
went with people to see it, and I was trapped
for the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
Did you have a pea bag or catheter?

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
I had to leave. I had to like walk out
and pee halfway through the movie. Oh yeah, because you're like,
now I've lost a view.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
Part of it. It's a pivotal plot point, and then
you have no reference for like the or contacts. I
can't leave the theater. I can't leave the theater.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
I had read the book, so I knew what was going. Yeah, everyone,
let's repeat that I had read the book. I read books,
but and I will say, unfortunately the book is better.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
Okay, well, I mean it often is.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
It's a I mean it's a it's also a history book,
so the details are just way more interesting. But I
sat through, I think a Scorsese movie. You're like, I
guess I'll give it to you. You're eighty years old
and you made this thing. I'll watch your ninety hour film.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
She's almost four hours. That one that was like three
and a half, good long hours.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
And you walk out of the theater and you're not
in a different state.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
Oh it's it's so sad and horrible.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
Yeah, you should be traveling if it takes that long.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
Yeah, I mean the Great Airplane Movie.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
I've gotten really bad at watching airplane movies. I don't
know why, Well do you do that thing?

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
I know a lot of people do this. I for
some reason do. I put on my own movie, but
then I watched somebody else's movie.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
Of course, you're distracted. I can't help, but I want
to know what's going on in their brain that made
them watch that movie.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
I watch it even if I don't want to watch it,
Like I could have the movie I've always wanted to
see on my screen. But then they're watching like Love
Is Blind season three, and I'll have to watch it.
It's so weird.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
You want to know what's going on over there.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Yeah, I'm curious about Carol Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
I hope there's a Carol from Cincinnati on it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Of course there is.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
She's ninety five.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
Have you ever seen somebody cry on an airplane?

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
I've cried on an airplane because I think there have
been some sort of studies where you're just like weirdly
more emotional at Yeah, something happens to your body where
it's like kind of like being sick. Because if I
watch something while I'm sick.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
I'll cry.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
I've cried at Shark Tank while having strapped throat.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
I remember, watched it like Toyota than commercials.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Yeah, this sort of thing will just make me sob
Have you ever seen, I mean you must have seen
somebody crying on a plane?

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Was it like a hysterical No?

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
No, not like a not like a whaling. Okay, not
like a like a North Korean funeral whaling, not like that.
But like, i I'll definitely cry. I I'm you're right,
I'm definitely more susceptible to like emotional. It gets sat
on airplanes.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
Like you could like be more manipulated, and I think
that's why movies are more enjoyable on planes.

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
Yeah, flying sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
It's the worst feeling in the world. It's getting worse
and worse.

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
Yeah, I mean, I was, I was, Uh my friend
was telling me about how like back in the day,
like on the Concord or whatever, it would be like,
you know, smoking and like steak Diane and clams casino
and people would be like, you know, no seatbells and
they're swing dance and then the thing, you know, it's
like a wild like crazy, yeah, exciting.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
Bring that bad Yeah, bring back the glamour.

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
Yeah, bring back the people would dress up to go
to the airport, you know, and like it would be
a whole event and kind of like I don't know,
like going out on a Saturday night and you know,
smoking cigars and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
It's not worse than a bus.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
Oh, it's worse than It's way worse than a bus
and scarier. Yeah, And I still just don't really understand
why we have the farce of TSA and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Oh that's also and I'm sorry, but the liquids, the
three ounces. I'm like, I'm we've got a.

Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
So crazy in a country that allows like gun violence.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
You know what I mean. You cannot take your shampoo.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
You cannot take four ounces of albaline makeup remover, but
you can buy a gun today. Yeah, anyway, four guns
today actually, Like it's so fucking crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
And they won't even as far as I know, let
you bring on like a larger bottle that has less
than three ounces. If it's a larger bottle and still
has liquid in it, that doesn't matter. They'll like you
throw it away in the UK.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
Like traveling within England, they're so fucking strict in Australia
to it's just so flop flops.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
And if you're I'm part of the pre check thing,
I bother, let me take my things through.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
I'm a trusted traveler, very global entry. But I should
be able to walk in with the machine exactly. I
should be able to walk in with just strap with
the water bottles, guns in my like guns in a holster,
knives like flamethrower. Come on, wait, let me ask you
have if you could have Oh, I have two questions.

(01:04:25):
If you could become fluent in a language by chopping
off one of your fingers. Oh, which would you and which.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Finger or which language?

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Both?

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
Okay? I would probably do Uh. I would probably do
my one of my ring fingers. I feel like that's
probably the least necessary and I'm trying to think either
practical or interesting, and I would probably go. I would
probably pick Japanese, okay, because it's not as practical, it's
not as useful as many places, but I think.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
It's an interesting, very handy in Japan.

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
Yes, go to Japan almost nowhere else? What about you?

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
I would probably, I mean I would want to give
like a whole hand up I do. I would do
both ring fingers that do Mandarin, and then I would
do Arabic.

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
Oh, both probably difficult languages to learn exactly finish impossible,
you know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
And then I would even though I know like I'm
like beginner intermediate in Russian, I just want to be
absolutely fluent in Russian. There's still a lot of places
I speak person and then we do where pasta is
like some Middle Eastern language, and then I think that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
I would get fingers. I would have I would have
like you'd be able to like open drawers, yeah, pitch
people I'd have my.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
Like latex penguin gloves.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
I can't believe they don't have in the Penguin TV show.
They should have done the finger thing at the very least.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
Okay, so what in the hell is it? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Everything about your reaction right now is summing up how.

Speaker 3 (01:05:56):
I By the way, wait, I just have to say,
I love press teach television. It keeps my blood red.
I love I yearn and live for a Sunday night
musty TV moment, of course, And now I don't know
that doesn't exist anymore. Really, No, but these with these
well produced, well written, big budget mega watts star awesome
musty TV moments series, fucking love that ship. Love that ship.

(01:06:21):
But the Penguin for me is not that it's where
it's real. It wants to be grounded in reality. There's
no supernatural elements whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
There's a possibility for that. The guy is called the
Penguin based on a character that usually has like a
penguin assistant or something.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
Right, is he just he has a limp? That's why
they call me kind of.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
Ugly and has a limp. He doesn't.

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
Just love the cold, Yeah, I like he's just like
a mob guy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
Yeah, he's kind of like a bad tony soprano.

Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
And it's Colin Farrell, Like that man is so hot. Yeah,
she just cast an ugly actors. There's could have been
Oh my god, so many incredible ugly actors, like especially men,
tons like tons. But I just watched The Perfect Couple

(01:07:11):
on Netflix, which I call Shitty Little Lotus because it's
big Little Lives plus the White Lotus. But it doesn't
watch about six minutes. My god, Nicole's wig is just
so unwatched. It's just so it's so flagrant and horrible.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
And it's like it's it's a category of like wanting
to be campy that and that doesn't work for me.

Speaker 3 (01:07:29):
It just never finds the right It's it's like it's
shitty Little Lotus.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
That's such a perfect Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
I think it is the perfect way to describe it.
But I watched Shrinking.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
Oh I haven't seen Shrinking.

Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
I adore it. Oh Harrison for Jason Siegel, and I
can't remember the other actors well.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
Former guests of the show. Michael Ury's in it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:47):
Yeah, I love he's fabulous. Yes, I met him a
few times. He is fabulous in it. Great writing and lovable,
funny characters, adult people saying adult words, having adult relationships
grounded in reality like their therapists, and Michael Hurry is
a lawyer and it it's just so. I love it

(01:08:09):
so much. Oh, I watched The Holes whatever you can watch,
I watched it all yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
Well, what a recommendation.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
Yeah, I highly recommend it. Harrison Board is like this
older disgruntled therapist with Parkinson's, and Jason Siegel is like
a therapist too. It's just so, it's I love it. It's
just a breath of fresh air.

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
Have you watched Disclaimer?

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
That came on automatically after I've finished shrinking. I don't
know if I'm on board.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
I'm trying to figure out if I like it or not.
It reminds me. The thing I like is it reminds
me a bit of like those like late nineties, early
thousands thrillers for adults.

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
Well, like Disclosure, Yes, Exclaim, that's what I think of,
Like indecent proposal.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
Yeah, it's very much in that tone.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
I want it. I love that genre a movie where
it's like those are movies.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
For adults, yes, strictly for like teenagers are gonna think
this is adult.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
Yeah, it's like and sometimes they really fly off the
like I would say Basic Instinct is one of those
completely Oh my god. Really Paul Verhoven is like that
motherfucker is crazy. Have you seen Benedetta?

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
No, I haven't even heard of this.

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
Oh, it's I think it's his most recent film. It's
a French movie, takes place in like the movie like
sixteenth century in a convent, a lesbian noun thriller. Oh,
stigmata like lesbian stigmata. None. And the lead of Virginie
Fira is like this hot blonde actress And there's a

(01:09:35):
moment where when she's a little girl, a statue of
the Virgin Mary falls on her and she licks the tip.
It's great. It's a great I highly recommend it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
Oh and Love Lies Bleeding? Have you seen that?

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Wait? Oh? I loved it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:52):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
I couldn't call it to mind because the title doesn't
quite match what the movie is, right.

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
I thought of it because she did her first movie
Glass with Saint Maude, which, oh, that's fucking cool. Crisp
eighty nine minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
And Love Life Is Bleeding is kind of in that
same category.

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
What about Ed Harrison that, oh, he's so chomping and
chomping it up, so that motherfucker is so grizzled and
to such glorious effect.

Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
Such a character character, and the movie is just entertaining
from start to finish and has the ending is like,
I'm like, they earned this bizarre thing that's happening.

Speaker 3 (01:10:27):
Yeah, it's it's dirty, it's horny, it's nasty, it's kind
of it's weird, it's like outrageous. I loved it. Yes,
Christen Stewart is a raunchy dike.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
She's so good in this And who's the bodybuilding?

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
No, I'm not sure what her name is, just fabulous,
she's really good.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
I feel like kat O'Brien, Katie O'Brien, good old Katie O'Brien,
Kati O'Brien reach out. Yes, I wonder if this is
her first movie.

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
I'm interesting because I had never heard of her and
I was like, this person is fabulous, unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
Wait, someone mentioned the other day like this, uh, the
trend of actors who are doing these Marvel movies or
action movies when they do go in the press junket
and they're talking about all the unseasoned chicken they had
to eat. Oh right, just say you did fucking steroids. Yes,
you did steroids. We all know you took steroids. Yes,
like you got anabolic steroids to create this body.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
Because it's literally impossible otherwise.

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
Because in nine months you can't go from a relatively
regular kind of fit human body to Arnold Schwartzene.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
No, it's just it's impossible.

Speaker 3 (01:11:31):
But they're like, oh my god, eat so much broccoli
and spinach and chicken every two hours in my training.
I was like yeah, and then also stereod.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
Yes, you were shooting out crazy. Also, why does the
chicken have to be unseasoned?

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
Throw some salt and PEPPERI or those saracha or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
Calorie free like car free. You can have all sorts
of flavorful chicken.

Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
Even when they when they try to say, oh, I
had to blend it up and drink it, I.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
Was like, no, you know you did took it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
Put a needle in your ass, you fucking liar. God.
I hate that's it is this.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
I mean, it's the same thing with ozempic, where it's
like we all just know that this works, and like
you're kind of creating a problem for normal people. When
you're saying that you didn't cheat. Yeah, it's like just
say I wanted this and I cheated.

Speaker 3 (01:12:13):
Yeah, that's why I like Russia so much. They cheat
no matter what, Like yeah, liked sports like they will
find a way to cheat no matter what because it's
about winning. So it's like they're not playing by the
same rules because they're like, don't you is this about winning? Great,
so we're gonna win according to your rules, and it's
like it's so it's so cunty. I mean, they've got
band from the Olympics, but like it was like, do

(01:12:34):
you receive the documentary about the doping and no?

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
And I wanted to.

Speaker 3 (01:12:37):
I've heard it because they they had like separate labs.
I mean they really went the full like they really
really really scammed the Olympics.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
The need and want to win a sport, love it
good for glory, glory, and I should say that part
is cheating. I feel like with oseempic, it's not so
much cheating, it's just like this is a thing that
you can do it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:02):
Yeah, I think honestly, this is not I don't think
this would. I think athletes to be able to do
whatever they want turn into monsters. It turn into absolute
like hideous monsters to get there.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:13:12):
Yeah, like do whatever it takes, like I mean, take
all the steroids, like take every single drug, do whatever
it takes to win, and then that'd be so interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
Yeah, to see this absolute monster riding a bicycle, or like.

Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
This beast in the water with like there's grown fins
or whatever it is, Like this letter.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
Rimp, let's see things we haven't seen before. We've we've
watched normal people win.

Speaker 3 (01:13:33):
Yeah, there's no real level playing field. It's all political.
It's all people.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Yeah, go for it. Become an absolute thing from another
realm and win the goal. I'm behind you. Yeah, I
love that shit. Well, is there anything left we need
to say about tampons?

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
Uh, I'm not really sure. I've never used by myself,
but I know that many women in my life swear
by them.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
What an unbelievably practical it's It is the sort of
thing where it's like two people who cannot speak to
it that much, but it's such a practical thing that
now it's just a great gift.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
Yes, something to have in the house. Yes, like band aids, Yes,
band aids, Adville, Adville. I thank you. Also, I was
going to bring something that was like quirky and weird,
but I was like, I don't want to bring a
dagger so many of them. I didn't want to bring
in the lizard because so bulky, and you would have
broken the tail. And then I was like, would you want.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
That's an assumption that I would have broken the nose.
It's very fragile and the very careful. And then the
last thing was a candle snuffer, which I thought was like,
too weird. And if you bring me a candle snuffer,
you should bring me old fashioned pajamas and the hat.

Speaker 3 (01:14:40):
Yeah, totally, and a candle.

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
Yeah, a candle lot for the whole scrooge. Look, but no,
this can just go beneath the bathroom cabinet. And now
of them to forty five. This could last me who
knows a long time, a long time, or if I
have tons of women that need them.

Speaker 3 (01:14:57):
Yeah, for the women to retreat your host, yes, next week?

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Can well?

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
Oh wait, I do have something to promote.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
Oh, but this is the exact time because we're about
to play a game.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
Okay, let's do it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
And I need a number between one and ten from you.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
Seven.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
Okay, I have to do some light calculating to get
our game pieces. So right now you have the mic,
you can recommend, promote, do whatever you want.

Speaker 3 (01:15:18):
Right Okay, So I and meet a Trixy mattel in myself.
We will be going on the road doing live podcasts,
and you should come because some of the cities are
not selling very well right now. And you can get
the information to where those places are at Trixy and
katchilive dot com. And then also be nice to each

(01:15:39):
other and pick up your garbage, don't litter, give a hoot,
and yeah, don't worry about drinking so much water.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
A bunch of dehydrated people keeping the streets clean. I
feel like we kind of fell off with the litter message.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
I would honestly sometimes I feel that I would sooner
forgive murder then throwing McDonald's back out the window onto
the street.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Serious, what a wild thing for a human to do,
to just be like not mine.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
You know, my friend who used to driving to school
in high school did it all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
That would just never even occur.

Speaker 3 (01:16:11):
The whole bag too, like if we got all like
like you know, like true literary orders, like a bag
like it's this much bigger than this just out the
window onto the middle of the suburban street. I was like,
you're such a fucking asshole.

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
But there was that through the I feel like the
eighties and nineties there were such a strong like do
not litter, don't be a litter bug. I think climate
change kind of overtook that messaging, but we should still
be telling people don't throw shit out your window. No.

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
I'm like, I'm like, you know, recycled world, it all
goes to trash island. It's it's like scam. But I mean,
but don't. Yeah, like you have the choice to, Like,
I mean, I will keep something in my car or
like on my person, rather.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
I'm not gonna throw it on the No, I would
feel guilty for weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:16:53):
Although you know what, the absolute hypocrisy of me is
that sometimes I throw my cigarette butts on the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
Okay, and that fun is weirdly accepted. I don't know
why we've decided that.

Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
I don't know why we've also described decided that they're free.
Like do you have a stigrette? It's like this a dollar,
you know? Do you have a pizza? Pizza? Like we
don't say that barters.

Speaker 2 (01:17:16):
Okay, Well, this is how we play the game. It's
called we're playing Gift a Curse. And I should mention
that we now this is a big announcement. We have
a home version of Gifter a Curse. It's a card game.
It is incredible. It's the same beautiful tension and excitement
that you hear on this podcast. And now you can
take it home and you can hurt feelings and you

(01:17:38):
can cause family rifts. We're headed into the holidays and
you can become kind of the person in control of
the game. And everybody's going to be giving their opinions
via card. It's delightful. You've got to go to exactly
rightstore dot com uh to get it. That's where you
get the merch. You know, the most beautiful sweatshirt I've
ever seen. And now this card game that is it's

(01:18:01):
going to ruin the holidays for everyone. And I can
guarantee that you've got to get a copy today. Is
there anything else I need to see? Say? No, there's
You can also just google I said no Gifts Merch.
If that's more your speed, do whatever you need to do.
Here's how we play the game. I'm gonna name three
things you're going to tell me if they are a
gift or a curse and why, and then I'll tell

(01:18:23):
you if you're right or wrong, because there are correct answers,
and there's a strong chance you'll walk away a huge loser. Okay,
you walked in a loser, You walk out a loser,
born a loser. Okay. This first one is from a
listener named Ann a gift or a curse being part
of a family in which all of the members' names
start with the same letter except for your name. And

(01:18:46):
she gives an example Kim Kelby, Kinsley, Kiren, and Joel.
Oh those names.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
That's crazy. That's a curse. That's a gift.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
Oh that's a gift. Why?

Speaker 3 (01:18:56):
No, it's a curse. Why because what are the what
are your parents proclaiming about you? Or what are they
trying to curse you with or like annoint you with?
That's you know, I don't like that. I mean, I
have a friend who comes from a Mormon family. I
think eight siblings all.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
Come from a Mormon family named A And that's what
I was gonna say. This is very Mormon, where Like
I knew a lot of Mormon families growing.

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
Up, j one with one outlier, though.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
With no outliers.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
It was always like it's fucking crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
There was like a ten family, ten sibling family, all j's.
But you're saying, you're saying curse.

Speaker 3 (01:19:30):
I'm I think it's a curse. I think it's a
curse growing up, and then it would be a gift
as in adulthood, Okay, it would transition, but curse overall. Yeah,
it's a it's a it's an insult. Honestly, I think
it's like the scarlet letter in a way, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
Caught you wrong. It's a gift. Why your mommy and
Daddy's angel.

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
You're the special one, you know, like those other fucking ugly.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
These losers are dud give them a kay name or
let's try.

Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
We were hoping for a Brenda, but all we got
were katies, you know, like.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
Yeah, okay, and then you come along and suddenly you're
the prince or princess and the rest of your life
is set. No.

Speaker 3 (01:20:06):
I really think it depends on what the what order
it is you're born at.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
The spotlight is on that moment you're coming out of
mommy and your brand, I mean it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:15):
Was, you know the course. The country. Thing I'm thinking
about is Caitlin Kayln with a sea.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
Oh, with a sea. That's right, that's it was. That
was a full statement, but with a parent naming. It's
I mean, it's another type of statement, and it's here's
the star. Get rid of the rest of these kids,
put them up for adoption and just keep this one.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
Yeah, but throw them out in the street, take them
to trash island.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
Okay, so zero out of zero so far. Number two.
This is from someone named Stephen Giftter a curse saying
bio break instead of bathroom break when taking a break
during a meeting.

Speaker 3 (01:20:52):
Bio is in biology biological No, no, no, because the
first thing I thought it was like I have to
leave the room to update my bio and that's not no. No,
although way, I mean, obviously we've flopped on bathrooms in
this society, Like there should be no journals, there should

(01:21:12):
just be single stall. Yeah, windows in every completely all
gender whatever. Yeah, I've never heard of that. That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
Bio break, bio break. It's a curse. You're right, it's
complete crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:26):
I mean, I people love the idea of somebody like
stepping out to the bio.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
No, it would be like like Sue stepping out to
do the activator, that's what it would be.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
Yeah, there's something about there's like a very like substance,
like there's a wetness to it. That bathroom doesn't bring everyone.
If you're saying I've got to take a bio break
to the rest of your coworkers, you are a problem
at the office.

Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
Yes you are. You are not getting invited to drinks afterwork,
it's for sure bio break.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
If that's a new trend among office workers. I don't
know what to say to anybody. What's the what's the
logic behind that? Or just say I have to leave
the room.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
What about ryo break?

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
I have to go freeze yourself seconds? Okay? Well, okay,
so you've gotten one right so far, very okay. And finally,
this is a we don't know who this came from,
so rest in peace, gift to a curse. When your
dog hates one of your friends but loves everyone else,
this is kind of thematically tied to the first and weirdly.

Speaker 3 (01:22:23):
That's you know, I don't know because I I I'm
gonna get I'm not I'm gonna get a lot of
hate for this, But I don't hate animals. Of course,
but I don't love them.

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
No animal has love from you.

Speaker 3 (01:22:39):
Uh no, no, no. I mean like I could say, oh
my god, that dog is so cute, or that cat
is really interesting, or that owl is so wonderful, but like,
I don't have pets. I'm never gonna have pets.

Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
They're not for you.

Speaker 3 (01:22:51):
No, they're not for me. And so like other people's pets,
it's like other people's children. I don't want to touch them.
I don't want to talk to them. I don't want
them to touch me or talk to me. That's how
I feel about that. So I don't I forget what the.

Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
Question when your dog hates one of your to be me,
that's gonna be me. I felt like it was.

Speaker 3 (01:23:13):
And also like I've been I've been at many times
in the situation of go to this person's house for
the first time and they forget to mention, Oh, by
the way, I have six Rottweilers that will that will
charge you as the doorbell rings, Like you need to
like tell me that, because that is fucking scary. Like
pit bulls, I feel like, don't worry, they're friendly. They're
scratching my eyes out and jumping all over me.

Speaker 2 (01:23:36):
Like people as a dog lover, I.

Speaker 3 (01:23:38):
Hate dogs, but you know what I mean, I think
some people.

Speaker 2 (01:23:40):
Are very cavalier about how their dogs behave. It's like
you have got to be very conscious of that. Not
everyone is comfortable with animals.

Speaker 3 (01:23:47):
And also they bark loudly sometimes all night. Like I
was at this house where like two enormous fucking dogs,
uncontrollable mm hmm, super aggressive, very physical, and then they
wouldn't shut the fuck up. I was like, you know this,
this is a bad hosting trait. It's like you're not
good at that anyways.

Speaker 2 (01:24:08):
So you're saying, curse, it's a gift, or it could.

Speaker 3 (01:24:11):
Be like it's a it's a gift to sess out evil.

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
Well, this is what I'm this is why it's a gift.
You're you're not getting the point too late? You I mean,
did not not saved by.

Speaker 3 (01:24:22):
The bell it to identify you?

Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
Yeah? What the dog knows something. They know something about
this person, whether they're possessed, whether they will betray you.
I believe it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:33):
They can smell the future betrayal. They can smell the
breast pump, they can smell and they can hear the
wind chime. They can hear the wind chime, ohring house
for you.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
Dogs have the spirit of Julianne Moore. Yes, and they
know a bad egg when they see it. And when
one dog is barking or harassing just one friend, it's
because that person's bad news.

Speaker 3 (01:24:55):
Yeah, bad news. They're trying to steal your baby, fuck
your husband, and kill your best friend.

Speaker 2 (01:24:59):
It's time to hire a private investigator and have them
track this person. We got one out of three, so.

Speaker 3 (01:25:06):
That's basically totally great.

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
That's one hundred percent as far as I know.

Speaker 3 (01:25:11):
Wait, did you take the SATs?

Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
I took the acts.

Speaker 3 (01:25:14):
Oh what did you get?

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
I got a twenty nine.

Speaker 3 (01:25:19):
Oh yeah, you're smart, you're smarty.

Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
No, I feel like smart as thirty or above.

Speaker 3 (01:25:23):
Oh I thought it went up to thirty, only.

Speaker 2 (01:25:24):
It goes up to I think thirty four.

Speaker 3 (01:25:26):
Oh god, you're a dumb ass.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
That's a complete dumb That's amazing, right, No, it's not good.
I think it's like, oh, well he can read and
is okay okay, But I mean I guess if you
got a four that would also be a problem. So
I guess twenty nine is twenty five points more than
four five. So I'm demonstrating my math skills. You took
the SAT Yeah, and what did you get?

Speaker 3 (01:25:45):
I will not tell you lie. Yeah, I mean I
have friends who've got sixteen hundred's Is that top? That's perfect?

Speaker 2 (01:25:53):
Okay, incredible? Yeah, but where are they now? Four hours?

Speaker 3 (01:25:57):
Yeah, they're not on this podcast, certainly not in Holly
would They're taking bio breaks at their shitty office jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:26:05):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
Yeah, that's firce though.

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
I mean I feel like standardized tessing we're kind of
finding out is not good, right, yeah, I mean not.

Speaker 3 (01:26:15):
An indicator of like potential success or whatever. It's even.
But did you take AP courses?

Speaker 2 (01:26:20):
I did take AP courses Political science, history, English? I
think those probably those? What are the other ones are?

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
I mean there's biology, there's I think I took. I
think it's really tough.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
I can handle biology. Chemistry and physics are hard for me.

Speaker 3 (01:26:41):
I never took chemistry physics. What did you get on
this test?

Speaker 2 (01:26:44):
I think all of those I barely got like threes,
you know, which is like a barely passing right except
on English and decent in English. Five I think is
not a five. I've probably got a four. Yeah, there's
no perfection in my life not.

Speaker 3 (01:26:59):
Hard to believe.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Did you take AP force I took.

Speaker 3 (01:27:01):
Yeah, I took AP French Language and AP French literature.

Speaker 2 (01:27:04):
Oh my gosh, that's really classy.

Speaker 3 (01:27:06):
Oh it was extremely classy when I was because I
skipped I skipped a grade, so I was the only
one in French literature. Told myself, you know, I got
a find on that. I like peaked in high school
with languages anyways.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
And then ran right into a brick wall with the SAT.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
Oh like middle of the pack, just like like horribly average,
embarrassingly like like just just below average to feel like
like shit, you.

Speaker 2 (01:27:31):
Know, yeah, that's how I feel with the twenty nine
on the act. I'm just like, well, oh, it's exhausting.
I woke up at the time of the beginning of
the test. I remember it was started at eight am,
and I woke if what was happening? My parents are
decent parents. Why were they not put They should have been.

Speaker 3 (01:27:47):
Putting the pressure they like, they didn't let you take
the p SAT or is there like a.

Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
Pro there probably is. I felt kind of free Rome.
As far as education goes well.

Speaker 3 (01:27:57):
Very quickly. I had trouble in high schoo well, for
when I was a sophomore, I was like a moody kid,
and I so I'd looked at other places, alternative schools
to go to. When I did a visiting week at
this place called Sudbury Valley, which is no longer accredited,
but at the time it had a smoking room. Oh
and for the whole week I smoked cigarettes indoors at
this high school that had no actual courses, but teachers

(01:28:19):
on campus who were available for instruction if you sought
them out. Why is that crazy?

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
Did you ever ask a teacher for a cigarette?

Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
No? No, I brought my own and literally just walked
around smoked a pack of cigarettes a day at sixteen.
I'm that fucking crazy. This was in nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
That's like letting the Muppet babies smoke.

Speaker 3 (01:28:37):
It's like it's like swinging dancing on the airplane.

Speaker 2 (01:28:42):
Have don draper.

Speaker 3 (01:28:43):
Yeah, but they lost their accreditation obviously. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
Anyways, Okay, well it's time to answer a listener question.
This is called I said no emails. People write into
I said no gifts at gmail dot com begging for help.
Will you help me answer a question?

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (01:28:57):
I will.

Speaker 2 (01:28:57):
Okay, let's see here, I have it. Oh my god,
you have an anisot of water. Okay, this says dear
Bridger on alease and disrespectful guests, I have failed miserably.
I'll be the judge of that. Last year, two long
distance friends got married to each other. In the chaos
of packing and preparing for the eight hour drive to
their hometown, I forgot their card. The card was to

(01:29:21):
be the vessel for a monetary gift. I did not
have time to get another card before the wedding, and
with all the festivities in traveling home the next day,
I forgot to go on their online registry and get
a gift from there. My memory continued to fail me.
As it is now a year later, as we are
approaching their one year anniversary, and I never got them
a gift. Neither friend has mentioned anything about not receiving

(01:29:42):
a gift from me, but my own personal guilt is
getting to me. Should I send the card and gifts
now or is it too late? Well, sending a gift
now reveal my true failings as a friend. Our one
year anniversary gifts from a friend's a thing? What should
I do? Thank you for your help? And that's oh.
They didn't even leave their name sincerely a bad and
forgetful friend. They're very you.

Speaker 3 (01:30:01):
Go bad and forgetful friend? Is they're real? That's that's yes,
you're a bad friend. You're a bad friend.

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
Do you know what I think they are? I think
they are.

Speaker 3 (01:30:10):
They're literally just saying I forgot these people are not
important enough for me to prioritize this very simple activity
multiple could have done in under ten minutes, even from
the car. You just go on the computer and type
a little bit, and then you.

Speaker 2 (01:30:22):
Have how are you not remembering it? You're at the wedding,
You're leaving the web.

Speaker 3 (01:30:26):
Like there is time to stop. You don't have to
be punctual for the wedding. You stop at the CVS
to get a fucking card.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
Yeah, no one's thinking about card. No peo will appreciate
a bad card.

Speaker 3 (01:30:34):
Absolutely, you get you get ironic car, you get like
a happy birthday grandfather card, and you just move right.
And also, but if they have turned over a new
leaf and they've suddenly like decided to shed their asshliness,
then yeah, just get them something. Absolutely, it's ever too
late or too weird or too you know.

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
People always like to get a gift.

Speaker 3 (01:30:53):
Yes, absolutely, just say be like, hey, I've really grown
and changed over the years. Sorry, or a fake a
drug problem or something.

Speaker 2 (01:30:59):
Oh yeah, ye there no question. Yeah, nobody there like okay,
you've got an.

Speaker 3 (01:31:03):
Excuse, yeah, bulletproof alibi.

Speaker 2 (01:31:06):
I mean, I feel like the other the subtext here
is that they are mad that the people haven't even noticed.
They feel forgotten. These friends don't even care about them.

Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
I wouldn't be so sure about that, because I'm sure
that you are a topic of discussion at the brunch
that you're not invited to, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
They're constantly talking about, like the fact that if.

Speaker 3 (01:31:24):
We were in Lindsay didn't give me a fucking birthday
and she didn't give me a fucking wedding present or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:31:28):
Clock is ticking. Well, I feel like they either have
been completely forgotten or they have an opportunity at any
time to send a gift.

Speaker 3 (01:31:37):
Absolutely, and this is a long distance friend, yes, yes,
so this is like do you do destination weddings?

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
I feel like it's a cruel thing to do to
your friends and family unless you are paying for them
to do it. You are forcing people to go on
a vacation that they didn't want to do.

Speaker 3 (01:31:53):
And have to pay for it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
Yes, they probably had another vacation in mind. Why aren't
we talking about this more often? It's a psycho move
to be like, Okay, now you have to go to
some boring island somewhere that you were like that was
never even on your list, and now your vacation fund
is gone.

Speaker 3 (01:32:07):
Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:32:08):
What a cruel, cruel thing you can do. Yeah, I
don't really support. I mean I can. I can say, like,
if a friend lives in a different state, of course
I may, if you're close enough, I'll come to you.
But Destination Wild, you better be paying the bill. And
I don't have enough rich friends to.

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
Be for that to Yeah, I don't know anybody who's
I know, I've.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
Got to find somebody that'll pay for me to come
to their wedding. Warren Buffett Elon Musk is single. Oh god,
can you imagine that wedding that the person that would
choose to marry that person at this point?

Speaker 3 (01:32:36):
Oh yeah, Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:32:38):
What a d wee Just the ultimate dork.

Speaker 3 (01:32:41):
I mean, what a fucking t weeve and a dork.
I hate I miss Twitter.

Speaker 2 (01:32:47):
He've completely ruined it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:48):
Yeah, I mean, I love I loved Twitter.

Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
It was very fun for a period.

Speaker 3 (01:32:52):
Yeah, and then it's like you, oh, there's a funny
post by this funny person that I make but haven't met,
and then I scroll down and then there's an advert vacuum,
and then there's like a something else and it's just
like all chaos. I hate it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
It's so so awful. Yeah, and it is interesting to
me about him and this sort of person where it's like, oh,
you're just trapped as Elon Musk for the rest of
your life, no amount of money, You'll always have to
be that person, which is that's the one bit of
solace I get from that.

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
It's like, yeah, you'll always be You're a flop, and
you'll always be a flop.

Speaker 2 (01:33:20):
Just be such a nerd.

Speaker 3 (01:33:22):
At least he kept the porn though on Twitter.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
Oh he did.

Speaker 3 (01:33:26):
I appreciate that. I appreciate the lack of censorship.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
He did kind of remove censorship, right, because you can
be kind of a full Nazi.

Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
Oh, it can be absolutely yeah, full the full bloom
of ignorance is on display there unchecked.

Speaker 2 (01:33:40):
Well, forgetful and bad friend. That's what you are. That's
what you will always be.

Speaker 3 (01:33:45):
No, you can change to try. You can change.

Speaker 2 (01:33:49):
Katia has hope for you. Yeah, and I'm okay. I'm
riding the fence. I don't know what to say. Don't
write back in. I've had such a wonderful time and
now I have a practical gift that makes me look
like a better person.

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
Yes, it does, and it makes you. What it does
is it makes you look like a less selfish person.

Speaker 2 (01:34:05):
Yeah, exactly, I've thought about others. This is people will think,
at least once Bridger thought about someone outside about women.

Speaker 3 (01:34:12):
Women's stories matter. They just matter.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
I'm really going to own this and I'm thrilled about it,
and I'm so happy you were here today.

Speaker 3 (01:34:20):
Thank you so much. Is my check and is a
cash or? Do I just wait for a check?

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
You'll wait for the check in the mail? And we
don't you know the postal system. It's all over. It's
hard to find a public mail box at this point.

Speaker 3 (01:34:31):
Did you do if I didn't leave the studio until
I demanded payment of some kind payment that was not promised.
I just take that light with me. No, thank you
for having me. Can go to tricksy and contolive dot
com and please buy tickets because we'll be humiliated in Baltimore.

very difficult time selling tickets right now, are they.

Speaker 3 (01:34:59):
Let's go with that.

need to, you know, say oh, I will come see you.

Speaker 3 (01:35:05):
Yeah, there's nothing like getting out of the house going
to it. You know, COVID and now that COVID was
deemed a hoax and we.

No, go go to the theater, meet a friend.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
You know, it's take hands with someone who just said
that they refused to wash their hands.

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
Exact likely to chase the person out who just pissed
in the urinal, didn't flash and left without washing their hands.
Marry that man.
