Whoa! Whoa! Guys, I watched American Idol the other day, the premiere where Claudia Conway was on. Oh my God. What happened with that? I don't know. By the time this comes out, I don't know.

And I'm not about to watch another episode. But it just was, it seemed like so much like, oh, let's get this teen girl who's in this precarious situation to audition for our show. And that'll get a lot of people to watch it, because politics are so in the news. Is she even a singer? So she's OK.

But the reason I brought it up is because we were all waving our hands when we did that. And that is such, that is an affectation that I just cannot stand when singers like try to scribble the note in the air. You know what I mean? It reminds me of when the people that would lead the songs at church, there was this one guy

who would do it every week and he would try to... David Koresh? Yeah! He was really charismatic. Beautiful long curly hair and the most mysterious glasses. He would raise and lower, he would like stick out two fingers and raise and lower them to indicate where the notes were going. To guide people or just for himself? No, no, no, to guide people because he was not a dynamic singer. Right, yeah. That's what I heard about it.

Did I destroy the show? Right, yeah. What a weird thing to grind everything to all the right. No, I was thinking about my choir director in middle school and how she would have us sing over the orange in our mind. Oh, that's interesting. Like projecting over the note over the orange. Right, the orange. So your mouth is like really wide and open and then, oh.

Is that why you wanted to do Oranges of the New Black? Yeah, because I was like, that'll finally make sense with that thing she said. Okay, I'll be famous. All right. Do you know, I would think of, that visual makes me think of when I would have, when I was a kid I had a terrible cough that was aggravated by, I think by grass, because I would come in after like... Oh, grass, oh, literally grass. Yeah, I would, you know, like a dog, I would eat grass.

I would come in after mowing the lawn with my teeth. Stop coughing. I would like lie awake in bed, just like coughing like fucking guts out. Really, for how long? My God, that's horrible. For like hours. No, I mean, how many years of your life um probably till

high school probably so when you were very young was like saying like hey why you gotta keep coughing like that no they all said it to me please keep coffee why you gotta keep please keep coughing how many people do you share a room with the most at one time was was two other people my brothers we were all in one room at one point was two other people, my brothers. We were all in one room at one point. Was that because you had a new addition to the family who needed a room or? Yes, my little brother probably. Honestly, I can't see you because the sun is blazing from behind you.

So it's just like you're a voice that I'm looking off into the distance and you're answering. Is it comforting? Yeah. Okay, good. Lauren, you are good. The sun is setting and it is currently in Lauren's eyes. and you're answering. Is it comforting? Yeah. Okay, good. Lauren, you are good. The sun is setting and it is currently in Lauren's eyes. The sun is setting, birds are singing. And mine, to be honest.

But at some point it'll be down and it'll be freedom after dark. So get ready for that. And then when that happens, the shit gets neon up and kya. The gloves are coming off. We're gonna use cuss words? Yes. I'm too scared to use them now. I'm very scared.

Oh wait, singing over the art. So what it made me think of is when I would have the bad cough and I would try to get, and this would happen when I would be sick too and I would have a cough. Like, you're so hard to describe. I would picture a sort of like a tube in my throat. Connected to your puddle. It's not after dark yet.

Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. Sun's still up. I retract it. But like having to get the air, like in order to get the cough to be over, oh, this is fucking hard to describe. Okay, keep going.

You would try to imagine it like going through the tube. It would have to get over the curve in the tube. Right, right, right. I think I know what you mean, like the phlegm. So it's almost like a cane. Yeah, maybe. A cane shape? Yes, that's what I would think of it as.

Right, right. And it's like you're trying to get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to hurl. Hurl. It's like you're choking and you just needed to come out. Right, did you ever see a doctor for it or could you not afford it?

Nah, probably both. Did your parents make you pay for the doctor trips? Ma'am, they made me, when I was a kid, they were like, okay, we're keeping a running tally of everything you owe us. Ha ha ha. Aren't there not parents who do that? Probably.

I have a friend who, his parent, have a friend who has a dynamic with his parents and money where they'll give him a loan that he'll have. He's like an adult. Now, he just started getting a job where he didn't really need to do that anymore. But there were periods of time where he would get a loan from them or they would buy his car or he would take their old car and like pay them off monthly installments. Yeah. And it's like very transactional and like planned.

Like everyone's aware of how much is owed. Right. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like that's, I don't think that's that common. Once you graduate or leave the house. Yeah, I can see that. I'm just saying there, I feel like I've read something where some parents tallied up literally everything they ever spent on their kid and then gave them a fill.

No, that's so mean. Like when they turned 18, it's like, hey, here's $52,000. They didn't ask to be in the world? That's beyond. That's completely insane. Like that's what having a kid is. Yeah. Is your idea stupid? Yeah, you liked fucking, oh, it's not after Dirt the Sun's Tale, I'm sorry. Paul, there's six kids in your family? Yeah. That's a idea, stupid. Yeah, you liked fucking. Oh, it's not after dirt the sun's still up. I'm sorry.

Paul, there's six kids in your family? Yeah. That's a lot of kids. Too many. I actually was just thinking about this too, because I have a friend who is having a third child, and then we were talking about another friend who has three kids, I was like,

oh, she'll probably be excited you're having three kids. And then she was like, she's about to have her fourth. And I was like, there are people having four and five and six. It's about to have her fourth. And I was like, there are people having four and five and six. It is weird to think about because I just feel like one would be enough. Yeah, but it's... To maybe two. Six kids.

Like I always thought that'd be the funnest thing in the world when I was a kid. Like it just seems like, oh my God, it's so... Like all movies that have like a bunch of kids. Yeah, Home Alone, yeah. Yeah, and you're like, oh my God, it's just like chaos and I love it. And I still really like that idea, but then as an adult, it just sounds like, oh, it's really challenging.

Yeah, I guess you go like, well, they're all gonna take care of themselves or something. I don't know, but they don't. It's honestly more fun as an adult to have a bunch of siblings than it was as a kid. Why, did you feel like you always

were fighting with somebody? I always was, but it's also because we're Why? Did you feel like you always were fighting with somebody? I always was, but it's also because we're spaced out. It's like my sisters were moving out of the house. It's not like the sisters, they were and are doing it for themselves. So they were so much older than I was because I was at the other end of the line

that we didn't really have that kind of vibe that you see in the movies or whatever. Like I was a tiny kid to them. Right. You know what I mean? Right. Although I do remember one time, I remember one time being in my sister's bedroom with her and her friends when I was little and they were all cooing over my eyelashes. I like to do that.

And they put mascara on me. That's so cute. I would love to do that to you, Paul. Oh my god, when I was in the- Once COVID is done, I want to do that with you. It felt very, I remember that feeling. I think that really imprinted on me solidly. Oh, I'm sure.

To get that attention from women. Oh my god, when I was in high school, my friend had, who I would hang out with a lot, had two siblings who were twins who were like five. And it was so fun. Like I loved being around them. I thought it was just like the best. And I'm sure they like loved it.

Cause we were like high school girls who were like wanting to like, you know, hang out with them and play with them and stuff. It was cute. The guy who wanted the Rocky Horror Picture Show video tape, he was, he had, Wait what? He had Yelley from a previous episode. I know, he had, he had a little. Wait, what?

I forgot about that guy. From a previous episode. I know, I can't remember what the situation was. The guy who I, I said, to recap, I said, I think my uncle taped that off of Select TV. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he, when I said, oh, he doesn't have it anymore, he's like, well, you're gonna go to his house

and search through all his stuff, because you promised me. Word is bond. That's so crazy. But anyway, he had 11 siblings. 11. Because they were, you know, LDS, which I don't think he's saying anymore. LDS is not... Little dick shitheads?

Little dick shitheads. That's why you can't say it. These little dick shitheads. But I had a friend growing up who had, there were five siblings and that really seemed like a lot. But they had like like I feel like their life was very like creative because they had to find all these ways to like stand out well no because like just because money's tight when you have five kids like they were all very like

they'd paint their furniture and like be like funky and cool and like buy things that you know in the find things in the alley and make it into something. Were you in the suburbs, Lauren, in Chicago, or were you? You were. So it was, I mean, I felt growing up in the suburbs, everything just looked the same in every house, you know what I mean? Like everyone just, little pink house is for you and me. I don't know how it compares, but I feel like my suburb wasn't fully a suburb.

Like it's a college town. And it's, and there's like, for example, like unique architecture, like there's not, each house is different from the last one. It's not like there's, it's like Brady Bunch style, or, you know, like one town over, Skokie, is like much more like every home was built in the 60s and they all kind of look the same.

But like our town, I feel like there's older homes and more character. So did everyone sort of, it felt like in the suburbs, everyone wanted to decorate their houses alike in a way? Oh yeah, no, that vibe didn't feel like that. But when you're in the city, it's like, oh wow, this person has this sense of style, this person has this sense of style. I think that carried over a bit because most of my friends grew up, each house was completely, like I had a friend who had a really modern house,

like mid-century sort of. Then there's like the really like crafty, and then there's like a Victorian, like there's just like different vibes. Mmm. What was your parents' decorating style? I would say, well it's hard to like give it a name, I guess, but I would say like, cozy, I would say, well, it's hard to like give it a name, I guess, but I would say like

Goff. Cozy, but very decorated. Like it's, it's like each room is like, all the choices are made. So it's not, like, for example, I might've mentioned this, I couldn't hang like a poster on my wall. Really? Wow. What was the poster going to be? I don't know. I just, it was never an option really. It was like really. It was like, I have art on the wall that's like framed. And then I have like a bulletin board. I can put stuff on the bulletin board.

Oh, I see. But a poster would be out of the decorating style. Yeah, and it just looks like shit. But I always would think it was cool at my friend's house. They have magazine, like, Got Milk Ads all over the wall. What? That was like really cool. Got milk ads? Oh my God, I get every got milk ad.

And paste it on the wall like a big collage. God. What? That was. Don't you remember? I mean, not that you were doing that, but I'm saying like, dude, do you remember those ads? I remember the ads.

I just have never thought anyone would cut them out and make a collage of all of them. Well, they'd be like in like, you know, 17 magazine, then you're like, ooh, got the Drew Barrymore one, or like whatever. And then it's like, you kind of collect them wall. Well, they'd be like in like, you know, 17 magazine, then you're like, oh, I got the Drew Barrymore one, or like, whatever. And then it's like, you kind of collect them all. It's like the precursor to like, when they, like, kids

would put absolute ads when they got to college. Oh, absolute ads were also a very popular thing. Yes. Yeah. God, that's so funny. Oh my god, that's funny. I forgot about absolute. That's way less interesting than the Got Milk ones.

The neighborhood I lived in was weird because it's a neighborhood called Mount Airy which when I tell people I'm from Philadelphia and then if they're from Philadelphia and I say I'm from Mount Airy they say oh well not really Philadelphia then. Oh yeah. A bunch of cock like little dick shitheads. They're little dick shitheads. People love to do that about the city though.

Yeah but at the same time when I was in high school I remember when I was in high school I had I had two girlfriends, not at the same time. So now we're talking about your girlfriends? I thought that was my thing. Yeah, now I got to hear about this. Two of Scott's girlfriends. Who wanted you?

Their parents forbade them from coming to my neighborhood. Interesting. Because black people lived in my neighborhood. In their minds. That's all. In their minds, for some reason, it was dangerous. My neighborhood was extremely dangerous. And there was crime. Oh, come on. Yeah, but it's like, it wasn't. It was just like a very normal, it was very mixed. Was it like, you know, Rocky, where you see, you know, the stoops and the, you know, like- No, no, no, no. No. My neighborhood was much more suburban than that yeah yeah yeah like there were there were there were houses as opposed to row homes right right um and we although we lived in a duplex adjoining my cousin's house right um that in that way it was like growing up with a lot of siblings because we had a lot of um uh matches in age. So we all played a lot together.

Well, how many were there? We shared a backyard. There were seven of them. So there were 13 kids sharing a backyard going insane. And that's like, that's so many kids. And then how did your parents afford that with the six kids? My dad worked for the railroad all the live long day. Choo-choo. And my mom. That was a sound he heard a lot. With the six kids. My dad worked for the railroad all the live long day.

Choo-choo. That was a sound he heard a lot. Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding. My mom. I remember his name was. Your dad? Your father? Yeah.

He had a work name. I remember it was. He had a work name. Paul of Tompkins the Third. He was Sir Topham Hatt. No, really? No. And then my mom worked as a receptionist for her brother's piano tuning business. Oh, okay. And did you feel like he's looking for someone? He's looking

for someone? He's looking for someone? Helicopter. Did you feel like you were aware of finances growing up? Oh, for sure. It was a constant topic of discussion. I will say that we never wanted for anything. Like, we never went hungry, we never didn't have clothes. We did shop at the Goodwill, you know what I mean? But we were not... I remember my mother saying years later,

like, my children never knew that they were poor. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, and we- Until I told them. Then she told us- Every night when they went to sleep. You're poor. You're poor.

I would say we were probably like lower middle class. That's how I felt we were. But you feel like you didn't know, and did you feel like you didn't know? No, I never felt like, they never, they would, my mother would make us keenly aware of how much shit cost and what we could not afford Like frivolous things that were we were off the table, but there was there was never a she never gave us any panic about it She never gave us any indication. My dad was laid off at one point too. And I remember that it was I'd like the dimmest recollection that it was a big deal

because they hid that stuff from us very artfully. Interesting. Yeah. Cause they didn't want you to worry. Yeah, I think it was probably, I mean, it was probably they didn't want us to worry. It was probably a pride thing. It was probably like, you know, whatever. But it was also probably like,

but what the fuck did, how could we understand it? You know what I mean? How could you even help? Yeah, well, I couldn't, I could we understand it? You know what I mean? How could you even help? Yeah, well, I couldn't, I wouldn't. I put my foot down. Like as soon as I could talk, I was like, let's come on things straight. I'm the kid, you're the adult.

I didn't ask to be brought in here. Oh, you're precocious. But I can take you out. I was very precocious. And imagine how cute I was. One tooth missing. Those eyelashes. My beautiful eyelashes.

Mascara that you never want to stop. So long. All right, to this day. Wow. I will say just one thing about my bedroom growing up is that it was always really cute. And I don't want it to sound like I didn't get to have anything fun.

Because I feel like if anyone in my family heard it, they'd be like, your room is a thing. It's not like I'm complaining about not putting magazines in my room. I remember. I had a beautiful gray wall and the bars on the doors. My mom was always down to like repaint my room, even though I had a very small bedroom. Right.

Like it was difficult. My parents were always like, wallpaper, what kind of wallpapers do you want? And then it's like, and then I have to help them put it up and then like two years later, it's like trains. What would you get? It's I'm too old for it and then it's like well you're gonna have to scrape it off yourself. That's like on like that extreme home makeover and they're like this kid like do you know that show? Yeah. Where they move the truck and then the whole house is brand new. They would always

do theme rooms for every kid. Yeah they're're like, this kid likes cats, so his room's a litter box. And his baby- He's gonna shit in his room every night. They make it so insane and then you're like, in one day- I feel like I've talked about this before. Yeah, one day he's gonna hate it. It's like, just next year it's gonna be a piece of shit. Yeah.

Who said I liked cats? Like the- I think they're bringing that show back. I feel like I heard that rumor. Yeah, maybe. I enjoy that kind of thing. I hope people are hearing this wind, because it's like-

It's picked up. Oh my God, it's- This is like we're at the beach house. Pure chaos. Pure chaos. This is chows. This is freedom after dark almost. This is pure chows.

It's freedom, freedom, freedom during sunset. We're about to get wild over here. Shit's gonna go down. My parents bought artwork from museums, I think. They bought prints. Those belong in a museum. They bought the Mona Lisa. But they, you know, they were always up

and I always, you know, they're always up on this wall and I got to know them very well because I would stare at them. I get it. Like Ferris Bueller. But what I didn't know. Ferris Bueller. And, but, but I, what I didn't know... What? Ferris Bueller.

Why don't I understand? Or I guess like, more like Cameron. Um, they went to the museum and just like stare, Cameron staring and then like... Oh, well, uh, please, please, please let me get what I want, please. It's getting, the dots are getting more pointillism-y. Well that, that was... They were looking at stuff like George Surratt, but my parents, it was just such a weird collection of things that they, like not the same style.

They were just random, like, okay, here's a painting of a guy with some bread. Stupid. And I just did, I always looked at them going like, do they like these? I don't know what it is. And they would always make me depressed because I had to stare at them for 18 years, 20 years. I feel depressed thinking about it. You know? Sometimes I think about like what people hang on the wall and I get sad. Right. because I had to stare at them for 18 years, 20 years. Sometimes I think about what people hang on the wall

and I get sad. Right. But I get sad also thinking about them, the hopefulness of hanging it on the wall. But what I found out was that they were worth something, I guess. Oh, really? And that's why they never got rid of them. I was just always like, can't we freshen this shit up or something?

I don't know. I don't know whatever happened to them. But I was surprised when just five years ago, I think my parents were like, oh yeah, that appreciated in value and it ended up being worth like a thousand dollars or something like that. A print of the Mona Lisa? I never said that. I said that.

But this is the same as my Beanie Babies. My Beanie Babies. My Beanie Baby collection. I'm not crazy, Paul. She's crazy. So you have Beanie Babies. I had a very strong Beanie Baby collection. I was gonna say. So you have Beanie Babies. I had a very strong Beanie Baby collection. Strong.

Strong. I had a lot of the good ones. Laura, this is strong. This collection. I gotta say, I've seen a few Beanie Baby collections. And a praiser comes in. This is strong. I had like the first one.

The very first one they ever made? I think the first one was a polar bear, I had that one. And the first Beanie Baby was premature, is that correct? And I would go, I would save six dollars and then go buy them by myself. How would you get the six dollars? Chores and whatnot, and then I would... What's the whatnot? You're gonna have to be more specific.

Well, like getting a birthday card or like something where you get a little money or something. Tooth fairy! I get like two dollars for Valentine's Day and my grandma's card. Like getting a birthday card or like something where you get a little money or something like I do fairy $2 for Valentine's Day and my grandma's card Come on a crush on her It's a thing that is classic Look at all these two dollar bills at the bank. Oh, I know what I'll do Look at all of these $2 bills at the bank. Oh, I know what I'll do. She always goes, look at all of these $2 bills at the bank. They have them framed.

Next to their monoliths of prints. Just like a pile of them. She asks for them. And then I will save and get my $6. And then I would walk and go to the store. There was a little store in Evanston called Mostly Handmade, and it was a very cute little. What was the stuff that wasn't handmade?

Pool tables. It was like most things weren't handmade, I would say, because Beanie Babies as a gift, like they were made in China. Gift shop. You mean in China. Like President Dumpster. So awesome, is that the president anymore? Anyways, and I collected a bunch of them. My mom secretly sold some of them. What? Trish. After I stopped planning, I think it was after they were just in a box for a long time, she

sold some of them because they were starting to become worth like hundreds each. Like well also they're probably not worth that much anymore. No, no, she was definitely because they invented real babies. She was definitely right to do it. But I remember I'm upset. I'm crying. Oh my God. You're crying right now.

I choked on air. Betraying you choked on air. That's usually what saves you from choking. I don't know. I can't breathe. Gotta get her over the tube. But anyway. Well, so did she give you the money or did she pocket it?

No, I don't know what happened. I don't know which one she still opts. I don't know which one she sold, but I think she still has the box and I'm probably gonna take them soon. Does she have like a fur coat she bought right afterwards? Yeah, she got a- Look at my gorgeous fur.

Dalmatian puppies. I was made out of beanie babies what are you what did you do that i got that would be so there's just legs dangling at the bottom look at my beautiful coat oh my god the princess diana one like that was the most expensive one it started to become worth so much money and i think it still is how again was it a princess diana it's not even anything it's a purple bear right it has a crown oh well that's related even anything. It's a purple bear, right? I have a crown. Oh Well, that's related. I'm gonna look up how much it is right now

Okay, about Bitcoin why didn't we all buy Bitcoin? I feel like such an asshole does it seem dumb it does seem dumb I wish someone told me to just I remember I remember a friend of mine was like I really just want one Bitcoin They're at like 150 bucks right now, and I was like Doesn't seem interesting to me. But I mean- Why not get one? 50,000 now. Wait, one is worth 50,000?

Yes. Oh my God, I'd be so happy if I had bought one. Oh, if I had $50,000. But Bitcoin is a, is it a physical thing? No. No. No, it's an online thing.

Right, yeah. Oh my God. What? eBay. Whoa, you're kidding my God. What? eBay. Whoa, you're kidding. It's a site. Where are you? This is incredible.

You can bid on stuff. Okay, wait, no. Where are you? No, the Princess Diana baby does not have a crown. It has a white flower on its chest. It's just purple with a white flower. It's basically nothing, okay? This one person is saying $18,000 or best offer. Whoa

Maybe worth ten then another one says if another one is a thousand dollars your best offer. No one's two thousand Then one's 95 here's where we start getting here three first edition princess Diana Beauty babies must read I don't know if I'm gonna read this whole thing, but guess how much they want, $702,000 and 200, wait, 702,000. $702,000? $702,200. For three of them? Yeah.

That's a lot of money. That's insane. That's insanity. I'm sorry, I'm gonna click it. I thought you were gonna do the division for a second. It says must read, so now I'm gonna read. I was, and I was like, I just gave up. I am gonna read it, okay?

Okay, no, you'll get cursed. Oh no, it's only at you. Ringu! Oh my God, what? Oh my God, you're kidding. Two first edition- Are you actually reading this, stupid? This is real. Two first edition ghost versions

with a first edition PVC child. She's a ghost? This princess will change history. Less than 15 are known to be in the world of the ghost version. It's no longer a questions if she will sell. This is based on over 300 plus offers. When it comes down to this version

of the princess ghost version, so-called know-it-alls are totally clueless. Oh, what? What? Who's an insane person? Shots fired. They can only guess and speculate. No proof, no facts, no documentation, nothing. trust the number one bean baby authenticator in the world

There's probably some listeners who know what this trust the number one baby who know what this... Trust the number one Beanie Baby authenticator in the world! Me! Who are you going to believe? Your choice. I'm also willing to show a supporting statement to the actual buyer from another current owner or previous owner to help better establish a timeline for this version of the Princess. What a weirdo.

Okay, can I ask, and do you know, why is it called the Princess Diana Beanie Baby? Because it was a memorial sort of... Is it commemorative? It was dedicated to her. Came out when she died or when she was born? And nothing in between. When she divorced Charles. I'll go to the wiki.

Oh, the wiki. Is this... I mean, are we seriously going to the wiki? We're following into a wiki haul. We gotta go to the wikis. Take us to the wiki, Lauren. Take us to the wiki. Oh my god.

But there's probably a listener who knows, who was like excited that this is on there. Yeah, it's probably this person. For an original suggested price of $5 to $7 in 1987, with proceeds benefiting the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fund. Today the going rate is as low as $2, or maybe up to 30, according to lovemybeanies.com,

depending on what kind of pellets are inside. What? Some hopeful eBay sellers still list their barriers at upwards of 65,000. There's little evidence that any have sold. 65,000. Little evidence that any have sold. Wow. That's crazy.

That's why I love they ask for this gigantic amount and then say, or best offer. Seven or 2,000. Or the best offer is like, oh, $15. I should just order one for two dollars. Just to make them stop. That's so interesting. Why don't the GameStop people flood the market with

Princess Diana baby babies? Let's do it and let's collect them all and then make them worth a lot. It does mean... I wish I understood GameStop when it was happening and that I did something about it. Did what? Deregulated it? Did something about it. Called your congressperson? I wish I had stopped it. I want? Deregulated it? Did something about it. Called your congressperson?

I wish I had stopped it. I want, I want to understand. People are just getting money. Wow, I heard. Look to your, look over here by the way guys. Come up, George and Molly. Come on. Oh yeah.

Come on. Mark it up ladies. Mark it up ladies. Yeah. Hi. Enjoy yourself. Here they go, enjoy yourself. It it up ladies. Yeah. Hi. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself.

It's later than you think. Enjoy yourself. I remember I played the, I was singing that once because the specials did a version of it on their second album. And my grandma was like, you know that song. That's from my era. That's from my era. That's from my generation. Oh. Grandma, I got you a homemade record of me

singing your favorite songs. Careless whisper. Who do you think was the first person to ever go like, I'm old. Hey. Oh, my voice is giving out. I hope it was an actual old person. Yeah.

Who noticed their voice started quavering. Suddenly there were 50 and something. Oh, well. My voice. Now this. The ultimate indignity. An actual old person who noticed their voice started quavering. They were 50 and so, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Wig. I need a wig. I need a wig. I was trying to get Paul to say wig again. You guys wanted me to say wig. Say it Paul. Say it Paul. Okay wig.

Just say it. Well I'm wig you sick freaks. We love it. We love it. Say it again. Ooh he said it too. It does make me sad when I think about people collecting things in a way and I'm someone who collects stuff

but I collect stuff for pleasure. I don't collect it for. Just sell it? So sell it. But I don't know, any collection is kind of a form of insanity. I like collections. I've collected things and then gotten sick of collecting them. Yeah. Because it does take up space. And it's like, I don't want these... I don't know. I go through periods where I will accrue things that for some reason I feel like a sense of completion about them. Yeah.

And then I realize, well, I don't care that much. Like, this is just taking up space in my home. No, I collect miniatures and I'm now really wanting a really good way to display them. And I want it to be like a lot of, like a huge wall eventually. Yeah. Oh man. It would be so fun to me. In what? Because I knew it wouldn't be fun for anyone else.

It would be so fun to me. Would it be fun for Mike? Yeah, he likes them too. Oh, he likes them. Oh, great. So what room would you put them in? I don't know. It feels like a hallway sort of thing. Like a kind of like, you know, I need some sort of... I have a little display right now, but it's full. So I need to get some sort of shelving, but I wanted to have a cover on it.

It should almost be framed because they're so small and then they can fall, you know. Yeah, and break. Yeah. We have, we've lived in our home for, God, six, seven years. 70 years, we're ghosts. And the new people have moved in

and we're trying to get them out. I knew one of us was a ghost. I And I want to put stuff we saw very little up on the walls because Janie is a little bit more Janie is a little Oh my god You love it You love it. You love it. You love it. The life went out of me. She's more what? Like you gotta hang it just right or there's no point. It's not even a hang it just right. It's like what deserves to be up on the wall. Well this is kind of my point about people putting up like random ass shit.

And I mean I've been guilty of it but like there's a feeling of like wait you're gonna look at that every day? Yeah. Yeah. We have a lot of things But I have a picture of- We have a lot of things, we have a lot of things. I have a picture of you and me, that you gave me. Ignored.

As a gift. Ignored. And it meant a lot to me. Did you hang it up? It's on my desk. I don't have any wall space, unfortunately. Oh, well, sorry. Why, because you don't have your diploma as an award?

I see it more, yeah. Well, you made it to my? Because it's facing me. I see it more. Yeah. Well, you made it to my wall with the same exact picture. I'm say I look at the picture of you way more than I look behind me at the pictures. So like at your in your setup that you have that you've posted online of your like podcast area. Yes. You have a lot of photos up there.

Yes. So that's like you do feel like that's like your designated spots? Like hang whatever you want. Well, for sure. That's my office. So on the walls I have, you know, most, it's almost all work stuff. Yeah. So it's not, it's not like our life together.

So that is absolutely, I can put whatever. But I did kind of in my mind, I was like, well, this is my workspace. So I'm going to put stuff from my work life, my work life, you know, up here. And but we have things that we had on the walls in previous places that we've lived that we haven't hung up in the new, the new house that we've been in for seven years. Right. And I, I wanted to, yeah, I want to put stuff up on the walls. There's seven years. Right. And I wanted to... You miss it? Yeah, I want to put stuff up on the walls. There's a bunch of things.

And it's like, and also whenever I take a picture of the house or something, like over Christmas, took pictures of the Christmas tree. And then on either side of the Christmas tree, the walls are just bare. And it's like, this looks weird to me. Yeah. It doesn't look lived in, you know?

And there's, I like other people's artwork on their walls and photos and what they have. We do have one salon wall that we hired a guy to do like a Task Rabbit thing because we're both bad at measuring and everything. Oh, I have a question on Task Rabbit. Okay, I will be happy to answer it in just one second here. Is it a real rabbit? Scott, I don't want to spoil it. So we got this guy, we wanted to have all these photos on this one wall and I told the guy like, yeah, if you space them out like an inch between the photos, whatever.

An inch between. The idea was... An inch between. The idea was, the idea was in our minds, we would keep adding pictures to this. Once we got like the middle, the base, we would on the outer edges, we'd keep doing that. It would be easier to do because then you have like the measurements are kind of there too. Yes. Well, this guy filled the entire wall with the pile of pictures, like just about. What the hell? What a little dick shit is.

Why didn't he get it? Why didn't he understand? I don't know, why? Well that explains my, that answered my question because I thought about Task Rabbit. I'm having the geek squad mount my TV. Sure. And I was thinking, first I thought Task Rabbit, because I know people who've done that.

But I'm like, isn't a task rabbit just like someone who is random? Like they don't necessarily know how to do the thing. Like I'm- Right, you would need a specialist. I've never looked at the site, so I'm just like, do they, do they say like, I'm really good at this, this, this, this, or do they kind of just go like, I'll do whatever you need me to do? I don't remember. This is a long time ago. Is it like a traveling handyman who will like come over to your house and fix the fence and then make an apple pie? Yeah, like once he'll grind our knives, you know, he goes, other knives, knives to grind,

any knives to grind. What song is that? That is, I love that song. That's my favorite song. What is it? That's from Oliver. Oh my God. Well, that was my favorite song. What is it? That's from Oliver. Oh my God. Well there was a knife grinder in...

Who will buy? Who will buy this wonderful feeling? There was a knife grinder in my town growing up. Is that what he sang? Knives, knives. Knives to grind, any knives to grind. By the way, I didn't even sing that part. I remember the guy singing it.

From high school? Yes, from high part. I remember the guy singing it. Yes, from high school. And it's in my mind. Honestly, it was a joy to sing it again because it's in my mind a lot. I think whenever I hear the word knife, I think I think about it. Yeah, definitely.

Well, I'm gonna think about it now. No. I like the idea of a knife grinder person though. And there's one that was at the like, back when we could have a farmers market, there was a guy there and we got our knives sharpened and I was like, oh, ya doy. Like I've never done that. Ya doy!

As an adult. Ya gotta. Ya doy and trammels. I know. Now I understand. You're supposed to do that when you have a good set of knives. We have to go to a commercial, but please sing Knives to Grind on our way out, please. Knives, knives to grind, any knives to grind.

He's asking for it. Oh my God. All right, we'll be right back. This episode of 3Dim is brought to you by Makers Mark.

And we're back! Do knives like get ground too much and then they get really little? Yeah, it's just like a little nub. That's how they make switchblades. A little metal triangle on top of a big knife handle. But honestly, like over time that doesn't get worn down, so it's just like nothing? I mean, I guess. I guess you probably get rid of it before then. I don't know.

How do you throw out a knife? Oh, you got to, it's like you have to call animal control to pick up raccoon shit. You have to call a special department. You stick it in a raccoon first, and then animal control will come. You call 7-1-1, and they come and get your knives. Don't throw away knives.

It seems dangerous. Paul, did you, when you were growing up, did they, I remember clearly the year that they invented the, what looked like a switchblade, and then you would press the button and it was a comb. Oh, yes. I had one of those. You freak people out of like,

oh my God, he's got a knife. Of course, because the Fonz, Arthur Fonzarelli did it on Happy Days. Yes. That's cool. It was a coveted item. It was so cool. That was so awesome. Because of the fums! Arthur Fumzarelli did it on Happy Days! Yes! That's cool. It was a coveted item! It was so cool.

That was so awesome. Not a fucking cool. Not a great comb. Not a great comb. No. No, because they're really short. It's funny, like combs were a big thing when I was a kid. Like you had to have a comb.

Yeah, you would get them for birthday presents sometimes. Absolutely. You get a Russian comb set. What? Yeah. On your birthday? Well, no, from friends. A friend would give you a comb. Yeah.

That sucks. It's cool. I never got it from a friend. For me, it would be always like a stocking stuff for a Christmas time. For me, I remember a birthday... You'd get like a brush and comb set. I remember a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese

where someone gave me a wallet. Name drive? I'm ten. You are? Someone gave me a... I'm ten, yes. You look like shit. You're a ghost.

I'm ten. But no, I remember getting a wallet, getting a comb, you know, it's just like random shit. And you still use it? No. I remember getting a comb on picture day. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm trying to remember the last time I combed my hair with a comb. Like, I brush my hair. Oh, with a brush.

I use a horse comb. Ass? I use a horse's ass. He's a horse's ass. I usually, you know what, I usually would use a comb, but I stopped because I was told that with my hair texture, that's worse. Because it will come out? No, because I have wavy hair,

it like makes it laying flatter if I comb it. And if I just let it air dry without combing it and I just put a little stuff in it and let it air dry, then it's more wavy with more volume. Okay. So there you have it. He went out there with wavy hair. He's been combing and feeling like he gets your hair a little dull.

One time I was on ecstasy at a New Year's Eve party. Okay, spice it up a little. And I brushed Mary Lynn Rice Cubs hair. This is at Grantley Phillips House. I truly just thought you were like, that story was so boring. I'm going to pivot. No, no, no. Pivot to something way more interesting.

I can't remember if I, I think I said, I think I asked her, can I brush your hair? That's so ecstasy. And she said sure. And so I sat in a chair and she sat on the floor in front of me and I brushed her hair for like a fucking half hour. Was she on ecstasy too? I don't think that she was. Uh oh. I can't remember, she might have been. Honestly, you don't need to be to enjoy that. Exactly, yes. Wait, is that like a tip for all you eligible bachelors out there?

Everyone go brush a girl's hair at a party, she'll love it. Whoa! Do you remember Aaron Gibson or Brian Soffey said they were gonna brush people's hair at their live show? They said recently on the podcast that they were gonna have like a braiding artist to be there to like do people's hair and breathe. By the way, the Sun is

pretty much down. I mean it's down behind everything. We can't even see it anymore. So is- I mean- Can't see each other. Is it- I'm scared. Is it three in the master dark yet? It's time to start curse- curse words. But- Fuck! Did you say but fuck? I said fuck fuck. The head of the penis. The head of- just- Just the I said fuck fuck! The head of the penis. Just the tip of the shaft of the ball. The shaft of the penis.

A vein. That's the skin of the penis. Lauren, is it penis? It may be a Majora. The first time you saw a penis, like a live one. Yeah. A live one? Not on a dead person.

Not at the morgue. Was it like, oh that's... did it solve the equation for you? I honestly don't remember that moment in my life. This is 3 AM After Dark, everyone. I don't remember that. You don't remember? moment. This is three of them after dark everyone. I don't remember that. You don't remember? No, I don't remember what I thought of it. Okay. I don't, I- This is three of them after dark by the way so you can say- I'm being completely honest. So you can say whatever you want. That's actually what I find kind of interesting about it is that I have no idea. I don't remember thinking anything about that. I'm

sure I did but I don't, I don't remember. Yeah. And it's like, you know, this is one of the problems with the way that I've journaled my whole life is that like, I wouldn't have written that in there. In case Trish. In case someone saw it. Yeah. But it's like, that's the kind of thing that I'd love to see now.

To figure out. What did I think of that? Yeah. Should parents have an agreement that they will never read a journal? Like- My mom said she would never, she's claimed she never has cracked one one and I mean, I believe it.

But would she tell you that when you were younger of like, by the way, I'm never going to read your journal. Yes. Oh, that's nice. Yes. So you can say whatever you want in it, I'm never... Yeah, but I didn't believe that. Unless I think you're on drugs.

But also like, I have a brother who I mean, he also probably was never bored enough to go do that, but I would snoop in his room. So you know, when you know what you do, it makes you think other people are gonna do that. Of course. Did you snoop in your siblings' rooms? We, well...

Not me or you. She was looking at me, but... I asked both. No, I looked at both of you. Oh, good. My brother and I had a pretty contentious relationship that was sort of built on kind of fucking each other over in a way.

What was the age difference? Two and a half years, but it was sort of like, he would break into, like I had a safe, I got a safe one year. Ooh, I had a safe too. And he figured out how to, he figured out how to. It's something I wanted but never had. Actually my password, I remember my safe one year. Ooh, I had a safe too. And he figured out how to... It's something I wanted but never had.

Actually my password, I remember my safe's code. Oh wow. I was picturing like the fucking dial. It was a dial but you didn't have a code with it. It would just be kind of lined up on the right part. So it was a cheap little piece of shit. I had a combination... Oh no!

Hell! My daydream is gonna come true. I had a combination safe that my brother and I kept like- Is it safe in a what? What? A safe in a what? Combination safe. I had a combination safe. Pizza Hut.

So it's combination safe in Pizza Hut? I got you. Not worth it. And I would keep my- Cut that part out, Josh. Josh, you better leave it in. Josh! You're only leaving my Culkers in? You better cut this out.

I had so many duds last episode. You have to leave that in. Oh, the last episode where I so fatally misunderstood 30 Mile Zone. I was humiliated listening back to that. What? I don't remember. We were talking about TMZ. Oh, no, I was talking about the last last episode that everyone just heard.

But you were talking about the one that we last. Oh, the last episode that we just recorded. Yeah. TMZ, I got to look into this a little bit more. But anyways. Anyway, so I kept I kept my valuable stuff in there, mainly like my most valuable comics. And you're porn. He figured out how to bend, basically bend the, it was, it was cheap.

With his mind? Yes, he started on spoons. No, it was cheap enough that he figured out if you bent the door, he could figure out how to open it. So I remember one day I went into my room and like everything was gone and it was, it was. That would be very upsetting. And he stole it all and he sold it.

Oh my God! And when I went- That's legit not nice. When I went and complained about it, his excuse was, well, he doesn't take care of them and he doesn't deserve them. And then did he get away with it? Probably, I mean, you know, yeah.

I mean, you put them in the safe. I think that's taking care of them. I don't know. I know, it seems like really extra care. Like he's been putting them in bags and boards or whatever. Terrible. I think that's taking care of them. I don't know. It seems like really extra care. He's putting them in bags and boards or whatever. Terrible argument. But now you take care of them. No, I have them to read.

Oh, so you never learned your lesson. Uh, yeah. Anyway, so I mean, but it was a pretty constant, like, sneaking into each other's room, snooping kind of thing. I remember sneaking into my brother's room, but not, I don't remember like really snooping. It was more like if he had stuff that I wanted to play with

or he had like comic books that I wanted to read and stuff like that. But I don't remember like rifling through drawers or anything like that. Oh, I definitely did. And my brother put a note in that was like, get out of my drawer. Awesome.

What were you looking for? Anything. Notes? I mean, I would find- You just want to know about him or you want to- Yeah, I just want to, just want to snoop. I mean, you know, it's just very snoopy, but I found- In terms of like, you want to know what people are hiding in their lives.

I want to know what's going on in here. Right. You know, I got you just like- I want to know what is going on here. I want to know what is going on here. I deserve to know, you know, I found some interesting stuff. So then it's like, once you find one thing that's interesting, then you're like, well, I'm not going to stop here, you know?

Like, you know, High Times Magazine. Yeah. High Times Magazine. So anything like that. And then like, I found like a letter that his, this girl that he was like dating wrote to him. Hot. And then I read that and-

Did you get that high times magazine I sent you? You better keep this letter and it in the same place. That's like juicy stuff, you know, when you're like a little sister. I remember I found in my brother's room, I found a thing of K.Y. Jelly. Oh my God. That's sick.

And that's the thing, you don't want to be thinking, I mean, well, it's different for boys. Well, so I- We loved me thinking that. I think I- Well, you wouldn't have been as disturbed by that. I think I told, I think I was 12 and I told my friend or classmates that I found this

and they're like, well, what? Bring it to school. So then I brought it. Bring it to, well, what? Bring it to school. So then I brought it. Bring it to school. So then I brought it to school and showed it. What everyone squirted around. And they were like, huh. It was so anticlimactic.

It was like a tube. I don't know what I expected. Yeah, it was a tube of stuff. Yeah, that's why you're not exciting. It's like, what did you do? Hey, you know what, Scott? I'm sorry. I should not have pressured you to do this.

Bark it up, ladies. Bark it up, ladies. Bark it up, ladies. Bark it up. Bark it up, ladies. Bark it up. Bark it up, ladies. Bark it up.

But yeah, and then I told you about his bong in the garage. Oh, yeah, I found a bong. Oh, yeah. You me about a bong. I mean, what are kids, kids are keeping secrets of what? They're keeping drugs, drinks. Porn. Porn. Those, and I guess letters or whatever.

Yeah, like notes. Have you ever seen Euphoria? They're blackmailing people. Oh my god, I've watched like half of that show and I always think I want to finish it, but it's so intense. It's very intense. It's a tough sit. It's very well done though. No, I think it's really cool,

but it's really not up Mike, Sally. So then it's like, I have to watch it alone. Then I'm like, well, that's the right mood to want to watch like some kid find his dad fucking teens in a hotel or something. There's a lot going on. Yeah, what is that mood? Where you're like, I'm really...

It's a really like specific, like, I just wanna, I want... The mood is, I wanna watch something good, but I don't know what, and I know that I still have this left. You know what I mean? Right, yeah, yeah. That's like, there was some movie that you... Like anything that has to do with the Iraq War or whatever,

like I've never seen a Hurt Locker. Everyone said it was so good, and I'm like, I'm never gonna be in the mood to watch that movie. I feel like it's too late. Like you missed it. Three Kings I saw like, like maybe the day it came out or something. Yeah, I saw it in Santa Monica. Um, which theater? Well, I don't know Santa Monica that well, but I happened to be shopping there.

Was it an AMC? I don't remember. I know where it is in Santa Monica, but I- Was it at 3rd Street, Pomodon? Cool Up and I happened to be, yeah, it was on 3rd Street. It's AMC. Oh, okay. I happened to be shopping there and we were like, let's go in to see this movie.

I've never been to that theater ever since or previous. There was some movie, some drama that was based on a play I think about, it was Nicole Kidman and maybe Aaron Eckhart or somebody and it was about them losing a child. And I'm like, no, when am I ever gonna be... Oh yeah. I'm never gonna watch that when am I ever gonna be? Oh yeah. I'm never gonna watch that. I know, some things are just too depressing.

Yeah, like you know going in, this is gonna be a bummer. I don't know. Sometimes I like a sad movie, but I feel like- It depends what it is. It depends on the topic. As the Greeks called it, catharsis. Wow, you did go to college and flunk every class. I did.

Wow, you did go to college and flunk every class. I did. Flunked art history twice. Took it the second time thinking, okay, this time I'll actually go to class and not flunk it. But that's literally my night. Made it all the way. That's like my stress nightmare that I don't go to school. Like, I mean, like, how could you handle not going?

Because I would, I was way more into drama and so I my schedule I'm sure I've talked about this Yeah, my college schedule is punishing. No my college schedule I first of all I was I was coming out of high school where I was in all like honors classes and and so I Always asked for more credits than they then you're allowed to you had to get permission First for what I did your schedule overload my schedule because I was like, let me get out of here in less time. And then I, I never, but my schedule was always, my first class was at noon. No, no, no, no, my first class was at eight.

And I would go eight to noon. And then I'd come home and watch days of our lives. And then I would take a nap. And then I would go. Cause that dates, yeah, I would have gone wrong day then I would go... Because that dates you. Yeah, I would have gone the wrong day. Well, you'll see why, because then I would go to acting class at, like, 4, and then I would be in productions

that started rehearsals at 7, and those would go 7 to 11 or 7 to 10, I don't remember. And then me and my friends would go into my friend's, my friend Frank's van from 11 till five in the morning and drink beer all night and talk. Wow. Jesus. Not record it for a podcast, which is what I should have done.

And then I would roll into bed at 6 a.m., sleep for two hours and get up at eight for my first class. That sounds really awful. It was, I mean, it was so fun. No, it sounds fun, but now as an adult, you know. Except for the classes, yeah. The sounds really awful. It was so fun. No, it sounds fun. Except for the classes, yeah. The classes were terrible. And I was only going to class because I wanted to be in drama and because my parents said, if you don't take classes and get a C average,

you will have to pay rent while you are here. Oh, hell no. I was like, hell no. You're not my landlord. I will never pay rent to you. So I ended up having to pay rent. I'd sooner watch days of our lives and take a nap. But yeah so it was it was two years I was I was in junior college for two years and flunked almost every class to a point where they were like okay you have to pay rent now. That's not that seems fair. You know what you beat me down I will pay rent now. That's not, that seems fair. You know what? You beat me down. I will pay that rent. That's when Restaurant Roundup started.

Wow. Before that, I just had random jobs like working in the warehouse and not the music store, but a literal warehouse where I moved stuff for a living. That sounds weird. And Disneyland. Oh, I have a question. Yes. Where do you think all the stuff at Amoeba Records went? Well, they have a new store. Oh, they do? They got a new store. Yeah. Oh, that's less sad than

it seemed. Yeah, they, it's a little... It's sad than it seems. It's a little smaller, but it's across the street from... Oh, so it is sad. But like everyone was such a, I mean, I think it is sad that they shut down the main location, which was so historic. But then... so now it's just some regular little store? No, it's not little. It still is big, but it's across from Shake Shack. That must have been a pain in the ass to move all that shit. Whoa, whoa, whoa, the Shake Shack in Glendale or whatever? No, no, no, the Shake Shack over here on...

Oh, they just opened that on Sunset, right? That location, by the way... Sunset, yeah, Sunset. That location is not historic. I want to get that on my home. That sounds good. That location used to be a parking lot. Yeah. For the Centorama Dome.

We used to... Wait! Remember, any time we would go to a... Then why was everyone so fucking sad about it? Because it's a cool building. That's how music people get. That sounds like a little too much. Remember, any time we would go to the center of Ramadan,

we would try to park there without paying the, what was it, $3? I think so, yeah. Because we were all broke. Yeah. And it was like, and they had it, it was a giant parking lot. Honestly, when you're broke, like that kind of thing

is the worst thing to spend money on. It's so annoying. Yeah, parking. Yeah. Yeah, you'd rather buy popcorn or something like that. Of course, pop is fun. So wait, it was a parking lot till when? And then they built that when?

I remember when it was built. I can't remember what year, but it's not that old. What, the 90s, 2000s? The first Amoeba was where? In like... San Francisco, I think? Yeah, I think that's right. And that's probably more historic.

But like, there are tower records locations that are way more historic than Amoeba. Amoeba just... Tower doesn't exist anymore, does it? In Japan, there's like one, but they bought the rights to it. Go watch Colin Hanks' documentary. I want to go to Japan. I want to go to Japan with you while Mike and... Oh my God.

Cool Up. Cool Up. What's her name? Cool Up. Hang out together here. Yeah! Yeah! Freedom trip to Japan! Freedom trip to Japan! Freedom trip to Japan!

Sorry, no spouses allowed. I wish it could be different. It would be the best time. Japan's the most fun place ever. I would love to go. Oh my God. It's fun. We would love it so much. That was a place that I wasn't that interested

in going until I would say like, probably over the last 10 years, I started thinking about it more and more. I never wanted to go. And I mean, it never crossed my mind. It was like a thing I wanted to do and when Mike and I First started dating that was like he was like we should go on a trip But somewhere we both have never been and that's why we chose that Do you know what I realized it was it was that I had I think I had it in the back of my mind

It was the fear of going someplace where I couldn't speak the language. Yeah, and then easy for either Yeah, that's what I've heard. And then but then after I went to France language. Yeah. And then easy for either. Yeah, that's what I've heard. And then but then after I went to France, I realized, oh, it's not the end of the world. Like you can get plenty of people here don't know what's going on. Yeah. I lost sect. Also with the most to make shirts with that, by the way. Yeah. Okay. Well, I lost sex. See, even out of context, it's funny. It's funny and it should be a pillow too. It should absolutely be a pillow. But first the freedom gibets. But you turn it over, it's like you don't realize.

If I don't get my gibets then I can't get my gibets. We're a week later, do we have the gibets here? Scott, get on Josh about those gibets. No I will. Josh, where are my gibets? They make it really easy in Japan especially. I thought it was even easier than France because in France you pretty much like you have the translation app and you can like look up stuff on menus and the waiters will usually work

with you and all that kind of stuff. They're not snooty at all. I've only ever eaten French food so I know all the foods. Yeah, of course. French fries. French fries and parfaits. I like to order eaten French food, so I know all the foods. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Parfaits. French fries. But...

French fries and parfaits. I like to order the French fries. French fries. With parfait. But in Tokyo, especially, like the subway system, they... And I was saying, God, it would be so... How great would it be if the subway system here in America were as inclusive as it is there, where it's like they're trying to make sure that English tourists are very well taken care of.

And like they shove them in the subway with a stick. Well, we never went during those times, which just seems crazy to me. It's beyond barkers. If the listeners don't know what we're talking about, during rush hour- There's videos, yeah, it's amazing. It's crazy, like so many people are taking the subways that they literally hire people to push them into the subway to smash them in.

Well, you have to assume they're not doing that with COVID around. So they must have stopped. Maybe those stick people are out of work. That's the big tragedy with COVID. Maybe they're keeping people apart with the stick. Yes, they finally got them work. They re-perfixed it.

We had to learn a new skill. All right, we have to take a break. We'll be right back. ["Wiser Than Me"] Hi there, it's Julia Louis-Dreyfus. You may know me from my podcast called Wiser Than Me, where I talk to older women and get their wisdom from the front lines of life.

All right, we're back and it's time for a Threeature and we're gonna try to get this one right. This is a rare Threeature correction. We did this one terribly the first time we did.

Now this was submitted by Matilda G. And one person thinks of a criteria or theme or category of things that their guests can bring to the picnic. Okay, examples are things that are blue, things that start with A, round shaped things, etc. Then the guests start asking if they can bring specific things to the picnic. If one guest asks to bring something that fits the criteria, the organizer lets them know that they can come to the picnic. If the thing does not fit the criteria, they can't come. As the game goes on, the guests must try to guess what the criteria is. So wait, how are we doing it wrong?

So we were just saying, like basically, only two people would be guessing, and the person who knew what the thing was would just say, no, no, no. The person who knows what the thing is has to add a thing as well. So basically, if it was everything that's red, and you were naming like a banana, I'd be like, no, and then you'd be like... No, but you can bring this?

Yeah, no, but you can bring... Ah, that's what we were doing wrong. Because yeah, but you can bring this. Yeah, no, but you can bring. Oh, that's what we were doing wrong, because we were just saying no. Yeah, no. And yours was so specific. Yes, I know. We already made you feel bad. Christ almighty. All right. Who wants to think of the thing? I want to think of the thing. OK.

OK, I got it. All right. Can I bring an abacus? No. But? But you can bring... I already forgot. I know! We almost did it the exact same way! I thought I was waiting for you to go and then I was gonna do it. We could do that and go every other person so that it's a little strung out a little bit.

Can I bring potato chips? Yes, you can. Oh. And then I should add something too? Well, maybe then we should... Only, let's see, let's get two nos in a row. Two nos in a row? Not just two nos, okay. Yeah.

Okay, can I bring parsley? No. Okay, can I bring parsley? No. Can I bring pretzels? Yes. Okay, can I bring Reese's Pieces? Yeah. You want me to add one? No. No, no, no. We're on a roll here.

I have, yeah. Can I bring red vines? No. Mm, okay. Can I bring deli meat that's put into a bag? No. Okay. I was trying to figure out a bag.

Things in bags. Okay, so that's two nos in a row. Okay, so I'm going to bring some leaves. Leaves, like off of trees? Yeah, in the autumn. So potato chips, pretzels, laces, pieces. Yeah, okay. Leaves.

Can I bring a teddy bear? No. What? What the fu- I thought it was brown things! Brown things? No. Those are all brown pretzels!

Potato chips aren't brown. If they're old enough. Yeah, all potato chips. Potato chips aren't brown. If they're old enough. Yeah, bring really old. If you're old enough you'll be dead. The barbeque. Potato chips, pretzels, Reese's Pieces, Reese's Pieces, excuse me. I hate when people say that.

How dare you. I do. It's not what it says. Reese's Pieces. They are pieces of Reese's. But the word. It's your jacket. It's not what it says. It's your jacket. Reeses, pieces. They are pieces of Reese's. But the word pieces is spelled normal. It shouldn't be. No one's talking about the spelling.

Just come on. We're talking about the pronunciation. I'm trying to say the through line. Oh, what about a Nestle's Crunch Bar? Yep. I think I know. I think I know. You think you know? I think it's things that are crunchy.

Yep. Dang. Yeah. Nice. Nice job, everyone. Now we're doing it. Okay, now who wants to go next? I will go next. Okay. To prove that I've really paid attention this time.

Okay. All right, got it? No, I don't hold on a second. Okay, and yes. Okay, I'm going to a picnic. And I would like to bring an umbrella. Who's picking you going to yours? Yeah, that's right. Oh, sorry. Um, an umbrella? Maybe. Maybe. It depends. It depends on if it's open or not or closed. Depends on if it's polka dotted? Oh, it depends on what color it is.

What are you going to bring? I'm going to bring a teddy bear. Oh my God. You fucking pussy. So try to bring a teddy bear. I miss it. Just wants to bring it everywhere. Uh, no. Aw.

So maybe it's not the color? Okay. Because teddy bears can be as, you know, like it's purple if it's a beauty baby. Yeah, but you said it was brown. It had to be brown. I didn't say it was a brown teddy bear. Okay, okay. I'm going to bring...

But remember the earlier example for something brown was teddy bear. I'm gonna bring a blanket. Maybe. I'm gonna bring a red rose. No. I'm gonna bring a plaid suit. No. I'll tell you what though. Yeah.

Yeah, you gotta give us something. One of the things that I'm bringing, and I would appreciate if people could get on board. I'm gonna be bringing a guacamole. I'm gonna bring Kermit the Frog. Okay. I'm gonna bring... Boogers. I'm gonna bring Slimer.

AKA Onionhead. Onionhead? Okay, then you both can come to my picnic. Is it things that are green? Yay! We're playing the game right, it's easier, and it's not good. It's not good at all. Okay, make the category harder.

Okay, okay, okay. I am, I got it. I am going to a picnic. Do you guys wanna come? And if so, what are you gonna bring? Whose picnic is this? It's my friend's, but I'm calling him on it. You're sure we're allowed to go?

Is the friend gonna want us to come? All clear with it, it's fine. All right, I'm gonna bring, you know, garden hose. No, you can't do that. I'm going to bring a diary. No, why would you bring your diary, you silly? But I will tell you, I'm going to bring a plate. Okay.

I'm going to bring forks. No, you can't do that. I'm going to bring a drawing of the sun. No. But I'm probably going to bring some fish bait. What the fuck? Alright, I'm going to bring... ... batteries.

No, sorry, you can't come. If you bring batteries. I'm going to bring... No, sorry, you can't come if you bring batteries. I'm gonna bring... Uh... Oh, uh... A dog food bowl? No, sorry.

But this is a plus one situation, so I'm probably gonna bring my mate. Your mate? So you're gonna... Okay. I'm probably gonna bring my mate. Your mate? So you're gonna, okay. Uh-huh. I'm gonna bring a figure eight. Yes, please come. I'm gonna bring ice skate. Sure, just one?

All right. Yes. Things that rhyme with eight? Yeah. We did it and we're not stupid. We did it, we're not dumb. Are you happy? We played the game the right way and this is not stupid. We did it, we're not dumb. Are you happy? We played the game the right way
