I said no guess your presence is present and no that already had too much stuff so how did he dancers me Welcome to I Sid No Gifts. I'm Bridger Weiniger . We're here . We're I felt like I had something to say immediately at the beginning of the podcast , and I've already forgotten what I was going to talk about. I mean, it's been a fine week for me , just loaded with unpaid obligations . So it's great . I went to CVS . If CVS's pharmacy is not open, why is CVS open? I felt like I had walked into a trap. Unless you just want to buy like a nine dollar gatorade, why is the store open? There's only one reason you go to CVS and then you might get garbage on your way out . They've got to deal with that. I had that complaint . The in and out in Glendale, the parking lot is a disaster , not every parking spot can belong to the fuji buffet and grill. I shouldn't have to go in and out and feel like my car is going to get towed . So deal with that. It's not oh wow, I've got three complaints. Google Maps has got to stop asking me if there's something in the road or if there's a lane closure. I don't know and I don't care. That's your job. Stop asking me. Okay , let me see if I have any actual business. The only business I ever have is we have a patreon. You know that by now . Sign up for the Patreon. We're having the time of our lives . Everyone's just having an incredible time over there. Bonus episodes , also episodes of me , well , talking about either real housewives of Salt Lake City or secret lives of Mormon wives, trying to get in a fight with one of the members of those casts that hasn't happened yet . And oh Patreon I forgot the URL patreon dot com slash I said no gifts. Okay , let's get into the podcast. I love today's guest. It's Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney. Oh, ex socited to be so excited. Felt like you're back at back. Back is back, Kyle's new, and I'm in a very negative mood from the very beginning. I thought all those complaints that you're right. We're just gonna say , I drive by this in and out, this Glendale in and out. You're talking. I've never been inside there and but be, I've seen cars wrapped around in line, which I feel like in and out famously. There's always a big line of cars. But usually there's like enough parking lot to justify that. Yeah. Yeah, that in and out, I have driven away because just like driven up to it, looked at it, and then like it's not. I don't want it. And what is that other restaurant? It's Fuji, buffet and grill. Yeah. And they've recently put up a sign at every parking spot that says this belongs to our restaurant and you will be total. Literally every parking spot right there by the inn and out. That's crazy. Have you been to Fuji? No experience I'm using their spots. I haven't been towed yet , but wow. That's your dress. Yes, living life on the , I will say 'cause I heard I've listened to a recent episode of yours and you're talking about going to Disneyland with Taran Coco who saw last night who said he likes to be mentioned on podcasts. Yes, Tarant. Like Tarantino. Yes, we do. But I've been I've been pulling a Disneyland parking sort of hack and what have you been doing ? Well, I feel like I'm nervous. Is it the one we 're the one I know? The one that I what is your I don't know in California? Well I go to I do downtown Disney You go down and then if I buy myself get d andowntown Disney, then it's like you get a validation and it's like ten bucks. Wow because it's like it's even cheaper. sixty bucks. Yeah, at least sixty dollars to park it. Then you can just walk right up. You don't have to go through security, take the security line by the entrance to the tram that takes you to downtown Disney. You still have to go through a security. You still have to go through security not a long. Yeah. You don't have to go on the tram. I do. I've done and I don't know if this works every time, but Grand Californ ,ia right.? R Theight hotel . Yeah, you do, you just valet it forty dollars and then you walk in right there. Oh, that's a dream. Yeah. But I tried that and they said like you can't do it unless you have a room or a reservation at one of the restaurant s. Okay. You say you're trying to get a room? Yeah, yeah. You can be like, yeah, well, we're going to check availability. I was gonna walk in . I was going to get one. I was gonna knock on some doors. Okay, that's good to know. It felt too good I'd done. it on ce. Yeah. And I was like, there's no way that this is like a regular thing. I know. It's so it's too man. I think it's worth trying. Yeah, absolutely. The last time I parked at Disneyland, the way I got lost after my day at the park was just murder for me because I was exhausted and I'm just wandering through this parking structure totally opposite side. It's huge. It's as big as a city. Yes. It's terrible. The line last time I waited, it was like forty five minutes or an hour to get in from the beginning of the parking garage to maybe getting to security. Everybody making the move that I'm making. I feel like I see strollers, I see people in their Disney gear. That feels like a true Disney ins ider . Yeah, yeah. But yeah, nobody's caught I don't know what'll happen to me. I don't think anything . Yeah, no, I think you're just gonna live a better life. Yeah. And you get to buy a little something and do a little shopping. Yeah. What are you buying when you go to downtown Disne y? A drink and like a flat bread pizza . That makes sense . Sometimes a gift for my daughter. Yeah Well, it's just going back to one of the other things you brought in the opening, I'm sorry, I want to say the CV situation is fascinating to me. Not even really the pharmacy. I will usually do the drive through pharmacy. Sure, but I've gone to a different pharmacy. I've given up on CVS. You've got entirely you're a new pharmacy. It's just an independent , not a chain. They always have my stuff. They always have it ready . And CVS though, I love I like going in to just kind of see the dynamic of the one worker, working the register and unlocking everything gosh , you know, and seeing them juggle it all a little bit. Like I often go to get specific batteries and you can't take the batteries off. They're in signs, but even though there's like these are paper things that you can just kind of like just rip it off all off , but you have to wait and you have to see them. It's just a fascinating thing because it's like, it's like, oh, you're watching something that will no longer exist soon. Oh yeah, you know , it's endangered future essentially. Yeah. Have you found yourself in the situation where that single person is in the photo department and you're like, Oh no, now I really don't know what to do . How do you hold away from that? Yeah, I've typically it's if I ever need something in the photo department, it's like I'm returning like a FedEx or FedEx at maybe Walgreens or whatever , but like there's nobody there and I'm just standing there ringing a bell. Yeah, do they still have photo departments in every one of them? In the one by maybe is a Walgreen. No, I saw photo when I was recently mad at CBS that said photos, but I don't recall seeing a photo department at all. Yeah . Also, how are they getting anyone to work there? There are other places to get a job and that seems like the worst possible retail job you could have being the one person other than a security guard in a pharmacy. Yeah , it's it's just the people who are hanging out. I can't I don't I can't imagine they're getting new people. Yeah, maybe somebody who's been there for twenty years. Yeah, they're just firing more and more people and they're just kind of weeding everybody out. So that person's particularly proud that they're still doing on. Yeah, yeah, they're like a fighter. They feel so powerful. They're surviving. Yeah. And mine, the drive through is frequently not even open . Oh, really? What are they doing? What's going on? That's the one purpose of this entire business is to have a pharmacy. I go there at six fifteen on a Sunday night it's closed. Really? The amount of people still shopping in there . Why just go to literally any other store anywhere else? There must be and people are I mean, I imagine in dire situations to get their medicine . Yeah, right, especially in the store. That's why I like to go through the drive through. Yeah. I don't want to go in there and stand by some sick person. Uh , stand there. It's just standing at the pharmacy line is just so uncomfortable because there are other people also that are usually in much worse shape than I am kind of standing there and like I don't know there's sometimes there's like a jockeying for line position that feels uncomfortable and anyway, it's yeah . And I should clarify I was not going to get medicine because I was sick. I was going to get my antidepressants. So neither of you are currently in danger of getting sick. Okay , great, great, me, yeah, me too. I'm not regularly getting sick medicine every month. It's other Yeah , it's mental stuff too. The other thing about being at the pharmacy that's interesting to me is how easy it is to get your medication. You just need your phone number and birthday. They don't ask for any . I feel like that should be a little bit tighter or secured. Maybe an ID ? Yeah. Literally anything. I feel like if you just memorize somebody's phone number and birthday, you could just, I guess you would also have to memorize their sickness schedule. Yeah, but that's sure. We should be able to get a hold of that. That's interesting. Okay. I have a situation now where this is it's lazy. I don't feel good about this, but I have a prescription that was set up for me in New York and I have a drug store in New York. Right. And so now every couple months I have like my brother or a friend pick up my prescription in New York and mail it to me. Wow. Why haven't you transferred the prescription? Is it because it requires a doctor a new doctor for yes . And I really like the convenience of having your mood and having it. Oh, sure. Because I like the convenience of having my brother pick up. I sort of get off people doing little chores . That is . And then they're sending it through the mail. That feels illegal to me. Yes. But yes, absolutely. They're full on dr aug. Oh boy. Yeah, anyway anyway , what I was trying to say, any way we need to get her, I can't say this sentence. Does that ever happen? I'm excited to hear whatever s.ides However we need to get our drugs we'll do it or something, I don't know. Something I guess I could n't come up with the form. You're willing to fight for you should do to get our drugs will do it. It just wasn't an interesting thought. I had something in there, but it didn't really pan out. Beck, I feel like you teased something before we began recording that you had to share. Oh no, that's true. I was gonna say something before recording . I said, you know what, I'll save it for the pod. I have so many good things. And I was joking. I didn't it's not that I had so many good things. I was just gonna say that I love doing your podcast last time. I was telling Kyle beforehand how what a nice conversation it is. Oh , it's one of the nicest environments, I would say, very easy, very laid back . I have something to share with you since the last podcast since we recorded. You gave me this beautiful wooden spoon. Yeah, I've heard about this. Not supposed to go through the dishwasher, which I learned on podcast It's very careful . I come home one day, my boyfriend has done the dishes. Yes , blasted this thing. But the oil saved it. Then it was yeah. They redeemed it. Yeah, he gave me wood oil and it looks essentially like it did before I was so mad . 'Cause I'd gotten one for myself at the same time. I was gonna be on your podcast. I wanted to get one of these walk spoons that was designed by the chef , and I got it and I have not put the oil in yet. And I'm like, I gave Bridger a job. And I didn't realize quite how quickly it wouldn't eat it. I thought it was gonna be maybe after like a couple months or something to keep it up , but it's like from the get go. Just almost immediately. Yeah, yeah, and it's a huge spoon. Very big, it's kind of nice but in the utensil jar, you know, with the other spatula. Nice. And it could be good a serving spoon too looking what you got. Right. It's getting used. It is getting used. Do you feel nervous to say that Like I do feel slightly nervous, but I feel proud that it actually has been used. Yeah, I'm incredibly proud. I mean, when I got essentially bleached by the dishwasher, that was a different feeling for me. Now, do you do you make an attempt to incorporate gifts, these gifts into your life? If they're a practical gift like that Every fiftieth gift is practical. Okay . That is, that is a fun it seems like a fun idea to see how all these gifts would almost change your life. Right. For the better or worse , what impact they might have. For the most part, just for the worst because they're just clutter in my house . But you know, like fortunately, they're now just becoming part of the studio , which is nice . If there's something that I just simply can't use at home, it goes here. I mean this one, the red neck plunger is fantastic. Oh , through. That's from Rob Hubele. That's incredible. And it shoots. It has a sound effect. Wow . That's Harry Potter. That's a Harry Potter wand There's just a little bit of everything . These are things that were just essentially going to be in my garage for the rest of my life. Yeah. Yeah. And you have a little show garage. Yeah, yeah. And the other thing I was gonna, I was maybe gonna guess I didn't really have anything to say besides that, but I did want to talk to you about your just the whole approach. However , I don't know if we should reveal this, but we have some other news, the three of us that you're gonna be be I'm gonna on your pod. You're going to be on our pod. Yes. So I feel there are things I want to ask you, but I'm gonna save it maybe. Oh, interesting. Yeah, you probably should. Because we have a good chance we run out of things immediately to talk about on yours and then what are we going to do with the rest ? And then I've got some amazing questions . You're a journalist. Yes, yeah. Essentially a journalist. Really, I really am. Yeah. Can we don't want to tease out any of them? Any of the questions? Well, it was gonna be like it was kind of gonna be a long way. What do you ins pire Well , it was gonna be like , yeah , no, I can't come up with a clash What am I thinking? What inspires you ? Tell me about your start. I'm going to save it. It's nothing very blowing. No, but this was like a good tease for that episode. I wonder if which episode is going to come out first, to be honest. I have no idea. I think probably this one would next week because I think I'm coming next week and this one will be out in two weeks. Oh yeah, then this will be out . Right. So it'll be like a nice teeing up to that episode. Yeah. If you like if you're liking this, you're definitely gonna want to go check out Bridger on what's our podcast. It would be nice too. And I don't know what this is. It's an abstract thought, but if we could plant some easter egg in this episode that sort of holds off or just make a huge promise. Like I'm gonna reveal something I've never said before on that episode. Okay. Where are you willing to do that? I'm willing to do that. But I'm going to have to rack my I'll think of something I've never revealed before. Oh, you know, and you know it would be interesting if we could also maybe say something here so that in our episode when people listen we could be like, if you want to find out this fact about me and Kyle go back and read that . Yeah, what's something that you what are your influences ? We find out what your influences are on our podcast. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Very cool question. Very interesting answer. Influences influences . God, Kyle is one of my biggest influencers. Yeah. Now, honestly, it's just Kyle in the past two decades. I did. You know, I will I will answer this question earnestly. Okay , if you want me to, but it does remind me of something that happened in my real life, which is embarrassing. And when I was probably twenty years old , I heard that Fabricio from the Strokes was dejaying at a bar in Silver Lake. Sure . I forget what that venue was called. The Silver Lake venue ? It changed. It was a pretty iconic rock venue. hyperium. Yeah , yeah. That was satellite the satellite But then it was something it was called something before the satellite. Yeah, I forget what it was before. Anyway , he was DJing there and like he was fun place. Day and Kirsten Dunst at the time. And they were there and like as like a twenty one year old, like I was like, whoa, this is fucking tight. That's all you would do. And I mean, like I saw him and I approached him and I asked him, I was like, so what type of music are you into? Oh and he was like just like cold, cold mus yeah. I think it was like I think I had somewhat of a journalistic approach. Like so wonderful to meet you. I was curious. What type of music inspires you? He goes, well lately I've been listening to a lot of Motown. That's a very safe answer . The safest, really. Yeah. Who has not been listening to Samo Ta ? Did he was he polite enough to ask you ? He didn't care . No. But I'm fine. I don't need to be asked by a slight. I mean, I was I would have probably would not have known what to say. I would've had a panic attack. Yeah. I was just thinking about him because didn't he also date Drew Barrymore? I think that's true. For some reason I was thinking about people she's dated, including Tom Green. She said an interesting Yeah, yeah. Those aren't the only two. But for whatever reason he just popped it into my head is Yeah, they did date. That was an awesome date . That was an awesome romance. Yeah, an incredible romance. Really incredible. The romance of the century, I would say. Yeah. The strokes are in the news. The strokes are back in the news. Yeah . But keep thinking about something to reveal influence my influences. Like as a podcaster Billy Madison I like. Billy Madison was huge . Ben Stiller did and I do like the Beatles. That's who's your favorite Beatles? Ooh , fuck, Paul. Okay, Paul, interesting. Is it interest ? I don't want to say cancelled people . I was for some reason I thought of I can't say, I don't want to be put in a corner. Is it okay? Can I say cancel? You can say that you justify it. I'm very influenced by Arc Kelly. Arc . Yes. I'm trapped in the closet and some of those like remixed to ignition on funny to me. They're not shame but also good. And they're just strange. We had the writing is just like, it's almost like it's comedic. Storytelling. Yeah, you know, from a mind of something that's like, how did how could a human being taking himself serious? Taking it so seriously. It is sort of like AI before AI. Totally Yeah . Broken AI essentially . I remember there, yes, we had somebody in our circle of friends in college back when I went to college together had the DVD for trapped in a in the closet , which was like, yeah, there are like whatever, fifty chapters. Do you know you know? I've never, I'm like so familiar with it, but I've never, I don't think I've consumed any of Trapper. It was was really really it incredible. Like go upstairs, yeah knock on the door. Like is like currently in jail? Yes. Okay, good. Okay. He's trapped in the clothes. He essentially is like, yes, just singing this narrative with twists and turns and there's like a video you're getting to see it play out. It's an opera . It's like, you know, it just kind of builds and there's the form of the songs are just sort of meandering. But there is also, as I recall, I've not seen this since two thousand six or whenever we would watch this , there was a sort of audio commentary on the DVD kind of a director's commentary type thing, which as I recall, I feel like it's him maybe in a movie theater smoking a cigar, watching it. But he's just explaining what he's doing. So right here, I'm walking up the stairs that's on the TV That's like a thing for the visually impaired, like when you go to the movie theater Tell us something that we don't know what's happening. Yeah . Well, he's in jail, so it doesn't matter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and remix to ignition, unfortunately, has that all been pulled from streaming services , do we think? I don't think so. I mean, I think that I mean there are other plenty of musicians who have been cancelled their music still on there . So yeah. You got to let it win. What I love about Ignish, it's the remix. Amazing. Does anyone know the ignition? The actual wow never hear it . I remember going to look at it. I do think there is there is I believe there is ignition. Yeah, but it doesn't sound anything like it. It's like heavily guitar based . It's like a rock song . Just yeah, a lot of singing. It's the ignition yeah, something like that, I think. I'm trying to remember it . It is bold. It's pretty like you're like very confident to be like, I'm just calling this the remix remix and it's going to have to beep beef in there. Yeah, to ot beep beep . It's really he's really takes it so seriously. It's really really wonderful. So that's like those are one of my favorite. You're probably number one. He's probably my number one. He's shaped the way I see the world. I'd like to start from, maybe I shouldn't mention this name too. He shaped my world He means everything to me. I read everything he's written. I don't know if he actually can write. I think he's illiterate. Yeah, I think I think he went to go into the studio and just like go straight ful don't wow. Yeah, because he could not read or complicated man. Yeah , and again in jail. And again R. Kelly, reach out . Reach out. Yeah, wow. Would you have him on your podcast? If you had zoom for him , I'm fighting for him. I'm trying to prove his innocence . Yeah. One of the worst people of the last twenty five years . Yeah, you know whatever gets those clicks and you know what I mean? Ultimately we're here for the clips. Yeah, I'll have him on and I'll have him do some takes and then send him back to jail. Absolutely . That would be fantastic. That would be useful. Right. Well, I mean, speaking of doing horrible things, just deserving to go to jail. Yeah. I was looking forward to having you two on the podcast today. I thought they'd come by. We'd have a nice time. Becca's been on before. We had a little bit of a fight, but I'm sure he's evolved. I have evolved a little bit. Okay . But you did bring Kyle today . Yes. And the podcast is called I said No Gifts . Right. And you two showed up with this gorgeous gift bag. Yes. Yes. We couldn't help ourselves. I do want we really 'cause I was just I had a great time and I told Kyle how nice it was. Yes. I feel like there was some sort of communication issue going on as well because you were at the gym yes . You come we were you were gonna pick me up in your blue car. Yes. And then I was like, great. And then I was like, I'm at the gym. It make doesn s'enset for me to go home and for you to pick me up and take me to the podcast. So I was like, let's meet at the studio . And then you said, You should get him a gift. Well, no, I said, Do you want to pick me up at the gym so that we can go shopping for our pre planned gift together . And so we're both a part of it, or do you want to do it? Your son. And you said I was going to do it. But this was a collaboration Kyle made the purchase by himself. So he regardless ap,ologies. Okay. I appreciate it. There was some communication. Yeah, we yeah. And I'm glad to hear that you're communicating while you're at the gym. Yes. Kind of out of breath. Yelling while other people are around you. Yes, yelling when I'm texting. Just yeah. Well, should we open it here on the podcast? I would be great. You know, I know you said no gifts, but it's in this might be one of those gifts you're glad that we brought anywhere.

Goodbye . This is Matt Rogers from Los Culturists with Matt Rogers and Boon Yang. This is Bo Nyang, from Los Culturists with Matt Rogers and Boon Yang. Hey, Bohen, point of order. It feels like nothing is what it says it is anymore. A point of answer. It's because everything has a catch. Hey, or turns out to be something else entirely like a total catfish situation. Exactly, Bo. Except for hotels dot com Yeah, that one's pretty literal because it's hotels dot com. It's in the domain . You go there, you book hotels, hundreds of thousands of them. And hold up, that's it. That's it. And when stays are booked as a member, rewards are earned every time. Every stay, every stay, no tracking or managing, just rewards that can be used like cash on future bookings, which by the way already feels nicer than most rewards programs. Okay? Yeah. Members can also get up to twenty percent off bookings, so savings start right away. Does that mean no weird restrictions? And no blackout dates , book what works, when it works, it's actually really fitting of real travel. So the name is honest, you're saying. And the rewards are too. Exactly. Hotels dot com It's all in the name All right, I'm going to reach it feels like there are multiple things in here There are multiple things that it's, you know, under a small out at the same time. Sure. Yes . This is this is an incredible. This feels like it's from an uncle. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's a bottle of squirt , grapefruit drink , some black and mild cigarettes . We would call them cigars. Oh, these are cigars. They might be cigarettes. I think that's right . We're all right. They're cigarettte as in several scratchers. Yes. This is kind of the last minute birthday package surprise. Like the most deadbeat possibly. Yeah , but also this is something that we would give each other and you know, it just became something like we'd show up to a birthday with. And Kyle and I were talking about this and we were like, we genuinely love this gift. It's a good gift. It's a good fun gift. The scratches are great. The squirt is for cocktail, a drink that Kyle trademarked created when we were living together . That's a squirrel. It's a squirrel. It's named after Steve Erkle. Yeah. Squirt and vodka . And ice cubes. Yeah. Ice of the fifty fifty things. I was watching a lot of Family Matters at the time and does Erkel drink squirt or anything? It just didn't happen. It just sort of worked out that I was like, oh, I like squirt. I was like, What if you put some booze in it? And you kind of it's kind of you squirkle it up. Yeah. Kind of irkle the squirt. Yeah. Is this still a cocktail you're having on occasion? You know, I feel like one of the last ones I had was I stayed a year longer than Beck at Saturn Night Live. Okay , and on my first week , Beck from L. A. he had moved back to L , sent me a big liter bottle of squirrel and some vodka . And so that was probably the last dear friend dear friend. It was very sweet. It was like break a egg yeah. Oh, have a squirrel. And so this is what you would just take to party by birthday just in case you needed to give something. Yeah , yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you feel like it's complicated to give somebody scratch ers because what if they win big? I think you have to I think that's the sacrifice you're making. To the person who's scratching, you know, so it's if you want to give us fifty percent of your wealth kind of a moral issue. It becomes a sort of like what sort of person are you really? It's a personality test. I say I scratch a decent amount. I scratch probably like twice a year. Okay, that's a that's twice every Thanksgiving. Okay. I try to scratch and try to scratch more. Yeah, trying to well, I'm very excited . Yes. But I bet I'm thinking chances are you've got at least a free ticket in that. I think we should all scratch one. Should we all scratch ? I was hoping we could. Yeah. Right. Is there is there one that's more expensive or has a bigger price? Oh, there a lot. Looks like an is a jaws. This looks like a very exciting one. This looks like a big one. I don't know. There's a full of five hundreds . I think the yeah, I've got Poker Nights . And I've got a classic. I've got cash crush. This is more of a tattoo themed. And then I've got kind of a jaws has a jaws experience through some sort of app. Okay , and almost a hologram of it. That is a really cool one. Here you are. Oh good. Thank you. I have exactly three coins. You have perfect shocking amount of coins actually. I paid for this in cash. I think you have to pay do you have to pay for scratchers in cash? Or does I think so. Wow because it's gambling. Yeah it's gambling Interesting. Okay, I'm gonna scratch up my winners here. I've got to learn my rules here everybody. Oh, yeah, this is I never do this. In any of your if any of your hands beat the dealer's hand, win prize shown for that hand. Goness and cover the bonus spot, multiply your total credit by that number. Okay. I'm just gonna scratch them all off dealers . Yeah, do I just scratch them all? This is you really can. You can do it one by one. Let's see, no matches. Oop , nope, no matches. Okay, if anybody cares, my dealer's hand he's got a he's got ooh, two pairs, p aairs of a pair of seven's and a pair of fours. Jaws is going away here . I'm just gonna scratch it and see. Yeah me too . What a no I got no anchors . Sorry this detritus here. This is a disaster. I don't have a single little boat or a shark . Okay . So I bet those are the big winners. Well five hundred ten thousand . Okay , uncover. I'm not doing well. No, no. Oh, no. No. thirty nine, come on. Yeah, I'm gonna have to have one of you look at this because I this doesn't make any sense to me. This is I have one of them. Have you looked at the I mean like have you looked at the potential this is the thing about scratchers to me is like if the lions you didn't win, but if you look at the prizes for instance like I could have gotten seventy five thousand dollars That's a different you. Yes. It's like a sliding door situation. Right . And I have no idea what I could have possibly won Should I want to take a look? Take a look at that while I do this other one my full of five. That could be the one that could be the winner. I still have a chance at a fast fifty over here. Okay , okay. What's the most you've ever won on one of these? ten bucks. I think twenty bucks . Okay anywhere matching away here. What is the game here? Just match these numbers or get a symbol. So okay. So if you see any of these numbers , which I do not forty forty one , twenty four . Okay . Thirteen . eighteen chances to win , match any of your numbers. eighteen chances got all this scratch dust on here. Do you want this? Do we want this on the table? I think we leave this permanently. Yeah, this is nice. This is part of the gift and if you can just make it rub it into the table. Okay , look at this again. This is again, I truly have no idea how Full of five hundreds is what it says full of five hundred dollars. Right. So we should, I guess, just guaranteed five hundred match anything. I think so . Is anything did we win anything today? We have won nothing . Oh thirty two . What a shake. Oh God, like, you know, usually when you win four cards. Yeah, we're usually when we don't win fucking sucks. Anything, it's private and it's like all alone, but now this is blasted out to America world wait a lesson. Wait, hold on. Oh, you're seeing something? No , no, I'm not. Your numbers, any of the numbers when that prize uncovered . Now I thought it might have gotten a ticket, free ticket, but now this seems like a mistake on the lottery commissions part because it's like somebody gives five do toll getars them back to buy another. That's typically what you win. Right. It's like a free ticket or a couple dollars to win another one. Getting them back to that counter. I think I know I went wrong. I think I have a theory. Okay, tell me your theory 'cause I have a theory too. I'm gonna give you a little background in the gift buying process. Okay . I thought the variety would be fun . So I said, I want four dollars scratchers. I'm thinking the same thing. I should have just gone the same category . Right. You're more likely to get a winner in there. Yeah, you're really chopping down for your earnings here. It's okay Kyle. But that also might be they might actually be both equally good strategies. I don't know. Who could probably make me I just now I'm kind of wishing that I was there. I 'm kind of wishing you picked me up. We made a we made an agreement last year. This could have been amazing. We talked about this last evening and I said I was gonna pick you up. We would go and I threw a wrench in the plan with my workout. It's more just the like color, you know, I like the variety . And I think dynamic. It is fun. I mean having the jaws one was really nice and people are gonna love . People love IP yeah you think does Mr. Spielberg know about this? Interesting. I'm sure he signed off . I bet he 's gonna put on his desk. He has to look at every jaws related. He's like, this fits the brand. Yeah. I love gambling. I love water . How do we get jaws in there? Why is jaws who,'s that for, really? Why is Jaws just now on lottery cards? Right. I don't know. I guess I know. It's the intersection of like, yeah, some sort of like moving nerd and gambling gambling ride love scratchers ? Yeah, or I guess sixty five year old degenerator. I didn't look at fish fans. Oh yeah, the little either a shark or a boat, right? Yeah, uncover a boat. I got neither. Yeah, they're cute. They should have had one other cute thing that everybody gets. Yeah, just you know, because everyone likes to see a little graphic icon of Richard Dryfish. I mean, what if it was kind of like if you uncover a kiss , you know? For the job. Kiss, kiss. Yeah, for the jaws . Kiss the person closest to you. So you could go over somebody you want to kiss and be like, look at the kiss thing. And yeah, I'm kind of kissing by the gas station to kiss you. Yeah , yeah. Okay, so like a hub. So it sort of becomes more of an interactive thing. Honestly, okay, this is a new idea. Yeah . And we own it. I guess your show would own it because this is IP and I think we come up with here is yours. Here's mine. But I'm talking about social real world scratches. Real world scratches. So you bring them to a party. I got a high five from whoever, person to my right or whatever, or like, you have to do this or do that or tell me this should pursue this. I should. He has like a fun thing. Or do you just bring a couple? You don't have to bring the whole board game and bring a couple? I love it. Here's my only bump. Okay, my only bump, which I think we can get over and pitch on it . The other part you have to be willing participants, right? Yes. Right. So like how do you determine, is it like we're going to play real world scratchers right now or just assume that like people are going to be down. I think it's you have to say everybody gets one and we're all committing to whatever happens. Yeah. And you don't have to do it all at once, but yeah, I think it's like an agreement like it has to be like a party or a get together. They could do a whole thing so you can have like you have to go home Yeah . So it's like you're really rolling the dice so funny be like yeah I had to go home . Like we kind of it was like thirty minutes in and I scratched a house. My nightgun . But it would create stories. Yeah, and dynamics. It would put a spin on. There could be one like the host has to cancel the party . I mean, there are all sorts of things that could happen on this scratch. I mean, this is something you should do. This is a nice shower maybe. Yeah. I mean, the thing I would imagine that you have a creative, ambitious audience. Do you think somebody's gonna try to steal it before you? Yeah. Well, you've got two weeks to get this off the ground or at least get the patent pended. Yeah, yeah, I heard patents are hard. Well, this is the other thing. I think of a lot of ideas on this podcast just basically setting traps for lawsuits where I'm like, hopefully somebody does take the idea, then I slam 'em later. Oh, that's smart. So if they do the work, I get the money. Yeah. Do you think that would be that would hold up? Well, I would fight for it. Certainly. Right. It would at least take up some of my time. Yeah, yeah, it would yeah. And I sure I've got a lot of free time. And it could be content. Yeah, it could be content. Clips, yeah, whatever creates some good content. You essentially just need to prove that they may have listened to the podcast. Yes. Yeah , which I'm sure would be very easy to do. Yeah. You go through their internet history or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. I would love to create something, something like that that just goes . Right, where it's just like now that thing just is a thing that I thought of and it makes me money. Yeah. It's a really fucking good idea. Thanks, Dude. This is a solid month. You guys help me. Like honestly, you guys are a part of it. Like, I couldn't have come up with it without you. Well, this is this podcast is the think tank. Yeah, really . It's an idea show so that I need you to pursue that. I'm shocked nobody has before. I know. That feels like the next big what it's similar to in my head is like sex dice, you know? Yeah. What's sex dice? And that seems like something from another era. That's an RKelly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I think it is aware of them in like two thousand three. Yeah, it's is it a dot? I think it's like you roll maybe roll two of them. One lands on Kiss , the other one lands on Torsso or something like that. Oh, interest ing. Right. There are other little sexy games like that . But this wouldn't be sexy. I mean, there could be some sexy stuff. Sure, sure, but I'm just saying like this is yeah, I'm just comparing it to like right. The randomness, the chance of social interaction. Yeah. You got different layers. One could be deeply sexual. Yeah, deeply sexual sort of parties where you just want things to go in a direction that no one planned on. Absolutely. Yeah, they're good all different categories . Children's party. Family get in a fight with mom, that sort of thing. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, children, that's great. Get them kind of used to gambling early on. Yeah, get them hooked . Yeah, this is gonna be great. I'm gonna talk to somebody after this. Yeah, I'm gonna talk to you who talk to about this sort of thing. You know, man, you think the guy at the convenience store? Yeah . Yeah, just let me know where you went. I'll go back and tell him my one's liquor. Hey man. So I've got an idea that I want you to help me with. Hey, so my friend, Kyle came here earlier. Where do you get these made? Because I actually wanted to do some social ones . What? I want to do like social scratchers. So wherever you get these made, sir, I want to make some I have some ideas. Where do they paint these paint That would be fun to get some of that that scratcher paint. Whatever. Yeah, where does that come from? It's that factory. It's gotta be fascinating. I assume it's liquid. Yeah It's like such a specific type of thing. It seems like the sort of thing that was invented accidentally by NASA. Yeah.. Right Is that some other waste? Right. I'm surprised there hasn't been like, you know, scratchers. Yeah, they're awful for you. You scratch those things off like it releases clot amine and it like reduces your can I gets under your fingernails into your bloodstream? Yeah, yeah. So a couple things I want to I want to just sort of get into. I'm looking at the back of the jaw scratcher here. This I did not know and I don't know if this is something I've been missing out on in my whole in the last few years scratching . Second chance . What's this? For another way there's a QR code . For another way to win prizes , scan QR code to submit eligible non winning scratchers at California lottery dot com slash second chance or use the mobile app. Mail and entries are not accepted. So we could get the mobile app and maybe get a second chance. There's something so sad about being like I need a second chance on this please. I'm waiting to be approved for my second chance because I don't feel like it was quite fair . And also says you play schools win. So I guess they're hoping out. I do think that's kind of the thing about the lottery, right? Where it's like it does help public schools in some way. It's like we had to find some good use for ruining people's lives. Absolutely. Yeah, the schools get a couple dollars. Yeah, I bet it's very small. And it's very complicated for them to recoup it. It's in an account . And they're like, yeah, we can't really, it's four schools, but there's no way to get to them. It's like those box tops on the top of Syria . There are these ways for public schools to make money and they have to really fight for it . What is yeah, it's so sad that 's how they're just trying to get anything they can. Yeah. All of our education money is tied up in the Lotto Council and General Mills essentially. Yeah, it's safe there. It's safe. We don't trust the teachers to use that on school supplies. No, no .

While the world watches the stars at the Fever World Cup this summer, Hyundai has its eyes on the next generation of talent. The future soccer stars who are already turning heads at age fourteen, making plays that end up on everyone's feed, scoring for angles that don't make sense, rewriting record books that barely had time to gather dust. Because next doesn't wait for an invitation, and Hyundai doesn't either. Hyundai has always moved the future within reach. Hyundai did it by making advanced safety standard on every vehicle. Hyundai did it by engineering EVs with ultra fast charging capability, and Hyundai continues doing it every day. From robotics that change how people live to young athletes changing the game, the future isn't some far off concept. It's already here. Next starts now, Hyundai, an official partner of FIFA. Goodbye . This is Matt Rogers from Los Culturists with Matt Rogers and Boon Yang. This is Bo and Yang from Los Culturists with Matt Rodgers and Boon Yang. Hey, Boon, point of order. It feels like nothing is what it says it is anymore. Point of answer. It's because everything has a catch. Hey, or it turns out to be something else entirely, like a total catfish situation. Exactly, Bo. Except for hotels dot com Yeah, that one's pretty literal because it's hotels. com. It's in the domain . You go there, you book hotels, hundreds of thousands of them. And hold up , that's it. That's it. And when stays are booked as a member, rewards are earned every time. Every stay , every stay, no tracking or managing, just rewards that can be used like cash on future bookings. Which, by the way, already feels nicer than most rewards programs. Okay? Yeah, members can also get up to twenty percent off bookings, so savings start right away. Does that mean no weird restrictions? And no blackout dates. Book what works, when it works, it's actually really fitting of real travel. So the name is honest, you're saying. And the rewards are too. Exactly. Hotels dot com it's all in the name . Are you two gamblers at all? A little bit, but not really, nothing regular. Like if I go to Vegas , I will set a certain amount probably and then play around with that. But when I've gone recently , it's I just kind of I lose it kind of quickly. And I'm like, why did why am I doing this? It's kind of I recognize that it's for the rush and you feel a rush. I feel the rush . And it's fun and it's exciting . But I have I've actually done really good at Blackjack. Oh yeah. That's the one I think you potentially can do well at. Yes. I mean because they can tell you everything you should statistically do like the house would hit or it would not. And you can kind of like talk to your friends and kind of feel the energy , take a little bit of mushrooms, feel the energy, feel the flow. Yeah . That's how I've won money. Well, I'm on mushrooms. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just kind of like hit . Okay, yeah, and then I went, you know, and I just, yeah, that's how I want. That's a beautiful stretch. Yeah, yeah. Don't don't do the other, don't do the other hard drugs. Drinking . They try to liquor you up. No, stay clear. Blackjack on meth. Right. No horrible mood. A horrible mood. Tap into the energy of the universe, have some psilocybin. Right. Tears running down your face . That sounds nice. I play broulet. Oh, interesting. See, that's the one that to me that you can kind of trick yourself into thinking you can do well at, but simply can't. Right. Have you? Have you won? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I would say yeah and I don't I mean, obviously it's luck based, but I do think I have that some sort of sense of what it takes. You know, I'm moving things around like I'm looking at the chart. I'm seeing what's coming up. Yeah. What about you? Are you a gambler? Not at all. I mean, it puts me in a bad mood and I know so little about it that it's intimidating. Yes. It is intimidating. I was at the Palm Springs casino last year and I was intimid ated by the slot machines and there's no other person involved with that Yeah. But I was like, I don't know how to use this even. I thought you just pulled the lever, but now they're all electronic. So it's like I love the feeling of pulling a lever too. Yeah. So when you take that away, what am I looking at a mobile game? Yeah, hit the button you're seeing the thing. Terrible. Yeah. Yes. I feel like anytime you look at a slot machine like will line up, but you just have no idea of what you're aiming for or if that's like if you do then sometimes you wanna like, yeah, exactly right . Yeah. Yeah, it's not for me at all. Yeah. But that's smart. That's the way to go. I don't know, yeah. I guess it probably is . Yeah. Well, but I feel like setting a limit and being like, this will be fun, and then my money will be gone. It's the same as playing arcade games or something. Yeah, yeah. And if you get a couple hours of entertainment and excitement, it's like going to a amusement park. Right. I was thinking of after this going to buy baseball cards, going to buy packs of baseball cards, which essentially is the same thing. Like you're you're paying chance. Yes. You may already own all of those cars. Yes. Right. Yeah. But I might get you never know what you're gonna pull. Where would you buy a baseball card now? Burbank sports cards . Yeah, Burbank sports cards. Burbank sports cards. Burbank sports does that hard to say Burbank sports cards? Did I burnt sports cards? No, no, no, Birbank sports cards. It's something that Burbank sports cards. It's three vowels shapes that are very different from each other. I think burr bank sports bank cards card for me. Yeah, it's tough. There is one close to us in Eagle Rock. Yeah, is that Zambia? It's one of Eagle Rock games and cards dot com Yeah, games dot com like yummy dot com our favorite . Yeah, it's always good for the document. I saw yummy. com yesterday. I'd probably look at it . Can you go in there? You can go in there, but I wonder if you have to buy it online before going I don't think so because I've been into one once, but it felt wr ong. It felt like I was walking into the internet. I don't know why this is very cool. Just because of the store. Just because and I was like, am I doing this wrong or being wrong? You know, I was like, I don't know. Yeah. Like I would never think, oh, I have to go to groc theery st ore, I'll go to yummy dot com . Is that what it's called? Yeah. It's called Yummy. That sounds like you need like a portal to get into that. That's what I was saying. It's just a name, but it did this thing to my head where I was like, I must be missing a stuff. There's a dot com there must be some sort of digital just walking up to a cash register at yummy dot com with like your produce. There's got to be one more step between you and the cash register. Right. Yeah, no sense not right. I I don don''tt like like it. it. What was their deal? It was probably just food delivery at some point. I think that sounds good. Yeah. And now they have probably one and a half locations left . And I guess you can sometimes just go to yummy. com Maybe they have a message bo ard, they should add that sort of thing to the website. You get like a patreon or something? Yeah . Support us through our grocery store through Patreon. Surprised because we haven't asked to do ads for yummy dot com dot Yeah. I don't know if the money's there unfortunately. I bet they were an early podcast advertisement . People were. I don't know if you guys if you had any sort of during the pandemic during lockdown, like we were ordering nuts from nuts. com I've almost ordered from nuts. com . Yeah, I know I never have never even thought about it. Like you needed that did you need that any or you there were specific I don't know that was the turning point where it's like we got get somet nauts in here where we do get 'em? And it's like, oh nuts. com. Yeah, but not like grocery delivery. Well, it was that it was yeah, I don't know, I think it was early on. I don't know what we had, you know , neuroses and nerves about kind of involving the grocery store but not specific types of nuts or whatever. I think I eat a lot of Brazil nuts. So I probably went to nuts. com, give me some Brazil nuts and then realized you could just buy nuts on any platform. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, you really . But seem specific. I mean, I know we're like probably thirty years too late, but if there is a product that doesn't have a web address , like , oh just some cyber squad, do you? Yes. I used to do that with my buddies, John and Gabe. You were cyber squatters? Well, they would like, we would get websites that we thought would be valuable. Of course. Yeah. And did anyone ever pay off? No, none of them paid off. Do you remember any of them? No, I don't. A lot of them were jokes too. Like at like chocolate chip witch. com or something. Like in the same joke kind of safe though that seems like it could be something. Yeah, yeah, chip witch sandwich, chip witch, ice cream sandwich. Right. Yeah, it feels like an either a way to make money or just get sued by the company. Yeah . But at some point, yeah, I think there was like that famous example of the guy order buying pizza. com and then that was his life . His life's work essentially was selling pizza dot com. That's great. And who you think it's like a major corporation? Yeah, I bet it was like one of our dominoes or something . Yeah , I recently because I missed good websites, I thought website. com would be a good then have like a classic website to use. You know, we all miss just a website to go to, but I think it was taken. So it's a shame. And it was for no purpose. Of course, it's a bad website. Right. Somebody needs to, we just need one solid website. It would be nice to have like an old school comedy website. Yeah, just like you go to and you know what you're getting. Yeah. Yeah, what is your what were your inner early internet like sort of actions? Middle school, a lot of looking up Nintendo. Okay , video games, like n sixty four dot com dot Then it bled into music with like pitchfork . Dusted magazine is like a review website like through college . And then that's when things started falling apart when it became like there was a brief period just a few years ago that Gawker was good. Like actually good writing . And then the money fell out and now it's some scam. What were you guys going to? Early internet. I mean, I went to old school hip hop . com. Oh, that's a cool one. And I really like the website. Yeah, I liked I liked the cartoons my older brothers were into so like this is nerdy, but like Transformers wasn't on TV anymore. But I got into like watching the intros to like the Transformers cartoons that came out in like the late eighties that I had never been exposed to. Right . And so I would search like those like things that like now because of YouTube are so easy to find and prevalent, but like you would find a site dedicated to this sort of like niche thing and I'd like download like a player would take seven hours season the six intro to Transformers. Right. I would do I was like, I was just trying I was finding like sketches and specifically Mr. Show season three and four online. I remember that's like what I was doing in high school. And what website would you go to? Would it be like a Mr. Show fan site? No, it was just I would just go to Lime. Download episodes and sketches. Yeah, Napster Kazaw. Yeah . But full on websites, I don't really remember any early. Like maybe in college, it's like the typical eBombs world. Like there's there's like a very specific video from EBOM's world that's sort of like really imprinted in my head that I've not watched since two thousand four probably . I wonder if either of you are aware of it. I'm thinking no, but you could have been in a room with me watching it . Yeah. It's a video of like, I want to say three dudes in seemingly a dorm room . Somebody's holding a camera okay kind of classic But one of the guys throws a pair of scissors at the other guy and it lands like, I think in his hand or arm. Yeah . And then the guy's like, why did you do that? Look at that . Look at what you did. Why did you do that? That sounds familiar, but I've also I feel like I've seen other videos of people getting darts stuck in their south. They're dying with yeah, they're all over the place. So I can't I got to find that scissors video. You gotta find that scissor. I bet I bet it's a famous video that like at some point so many people had seen it because there were like fifty videos online. Right. So almost everyone would see these vide os . There was an early video like that that I remember like two moms in a fight maybe at an airport about one of their kids having THC in their system and then one of them just punches the one other one in the face. Oh man. And it was one of those early things where now like you see waver sunlight be like, Whoa, I can't believe I'm seeing this. Yeah. Now I'm like, I don't know if this is real or not. Yeah. Most of the time it's not or it's like even if it is real, it was planned in advance . Yes, or it's terrible. It's all ruined. It's all ruined. It's all essentially terrible . Yeah. Well, do we have anything to say about these cigarels? Cigareo? Cigareto I think a cigaretoigare? Ctte. I don't know Cigarillo. I would say cigareto, but I think Sigario . Yeah, that's probably more accurate. Yeah, I'm sure that's how it's supposed to be said This is a popular item at Scripps Ranch High School , Circu it nineteen ninety nine to two thousand three. I don't know if people were fucking with these. People were fucking with these. Treer. Not I mean, you know, I think they were trying to steal like legit cigars from their dads, you know, you can sometimes you could like you could smoke them obviously as they are, but you could also wanna inhal those. You could maybe sad inhaling. I think so, right? No inhaling on those. It's like a cigar. That sounds right. They're sweet. They're fairy. You want that in your mouth, you wanna swish it around like a nice cognac. You can also slice it open and I think and like sort of turn into a blunt yeah intruder in there. Right. I haven't had a blunt in decades. Yeah probably . And this feels like so ready made. Yeah. And there's something a little like contraband about turning one of these . That's pretty badass. That's like, if you show up somewhere and you like cut one of those open and you're like rolling a big fat blunt. Yes. That's really smooth. You have like immediate street cramps. Yeah people, I mean, they're wondering , what sort of choices does this person make? Yeah , basically this. Where did this person ? On the tip of the iceberg, what else is there? It is to me though so funny that like this, I don't know how you guys felt what it was like growing up, but like the idea of like sixteen year olds, like sixteen year old like just like in like kind of somewhat wealthy communities, like kind of smoking blunts, I don't know, something about it is very silly to me. Yeah. It's like listening to like the chronic two thousand one or something like that . Yeah, yeah. But cigarettes cigars were a big deal in, I think in junior high or like no, like fourteen, fifteen, a lot of kids went I went to Walgreens once and stole a bunch of cigars. I went to the bathroom and took off the security wrap and threw it in the trash and put 'em in my pocket and walked out. The fact that you could just pick them up is crazy. Like there was a time period when they were right. They were just locked up. Just in the aisle, open. Wow.. Yeah And I would go to construction sites where they were building new houses and smoke cigars there with friends. Oh , I miss going into like a construction half constructed house wandering around. So fun. I love that. There's a slight element of danger, but you know, if somebody shows up, you haven't done anything wrong. Right, right. They'll ask you to leave. Yeah, I think they could I think they could prosecute you. I think they could turn the cops on you and you could be Yeah, it is trespass.ing I think as an adult, it's probably a different situation. Yeah, especially if you're walking away with lumber or whatever . Yeah, there is stuff on those sites to kind of find, you know, , right. Sneak into the trucks and stuff. Yeah, when was the first time you smoked anything ? It must have been a cigar . Like seventh or eighth grade. Okay . Yeah. And was there like a pressure or were you , did you spearhead the attempt? I think I don't know if I spearheaded it, but like there were other kids that were older and they were like maybe surprisingly, I think the parents were okay with us taking a couple puffs. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, 'cause we weren't inhaling. Right . And yeah, I think I remember doing it around like junior high graduation with some parents . They were like, you can have some puffs, but don't inhale. Very French. Yeah, right . Yeah. I remember my first time smoking weed more so than like a cigarette . And it was I don't want to throw my brother under the bus, but it was a situation. I was visiting him in college at Berkeley and And I was doing a bid, actually, I was in eighth grade and he had some sort of like weird trinkets on his table and I said something like is that do you use those for your drugs ? And he's like , how long have you known that I do drugs? And I was like, Oh, I didn't know . And then he spoke me out Who did this? Sean. Sean? Yeah. Wow. So he was initially like mad or felt like you were felt around. I think he felt bad. I think he felt I think there was like remorse that disappointed you. Yeah, exactly. You've known about this when like I was fully like just messing around and then yeah, I spo ked for the first time and kind of haven't been the same since . Yeah, it's okay. It does that to some people . I've never smoked a cigarette. Never, never once. But I grew up in Mormon culture and like dare elementary school culture. So it was like a double thing of being afraid of cigarettes. Right, right. And I mean they really don't offer anything. No appeal whatsoever. When I when I first smoked a cigarette, it was I don't know if this is a thing and now I'm hesitant to put even put it out there, but it doesn't really matter. It's fine. But there was immediate arousal a cigare tte, yes. Immediately like whoa . Like the first couple times . And I think I did it by myself what? I think like my there was like a pack of cigarettes like I found a cigarette and like did it when my parents were out and it was it was a wild experience. I mean it was like a what is the psychological tithe I don't know. I don't know but I'm surprised I'm surprised I haven't heard about it more but it was like around the same time j,unior high , maybe . Do you could it be tied in at all to like imagery of people smoking cigarettes after sex? I don't know. Oh, that makes a little sense. Oh okay. No , no because it was like it was chemical. It was like a rare it was fully it was chemical. Whoa, that's crazy. Yeah. This is the tobacco company's last secret. But you've not they shouldn't get it out there. Yeah, they should let people know this is a new plus for them. You no longer feel anything like that. Unfortunately not. I keep trying, but you're smoking more and more and more. Come on, come on, do it . Just burning through patterns. Yeah, yeah. One of these days, baby . Wow, wonderful. Now I've got something to smoke and no winnings whatsoever. When was the last time you saw jaws ? I saw it for the first time last year. So first time last year. Interesting experience. What did you, how did you receive it? There was one scary part, the part with the dead body in the water . Okay. The rest of the movie did not scare me at all. And then there was way too much of just men talking on a boat to each other to start kind of connecting. I feel like that could have gone away. I think there are people that specifically love that stuff. Right. I'm sure and they're wrong. We want to see the shark. We want to see I'm here to watch the shark do its thing. Right . And watching Richard Dreyfus connect on a human level or whatever is not of no interest to fish. Yeah. I think growing up, I mean, I saw jaws and it's I saw too early. Okay , and I was harmed by it . Afraid of the ocean, the depths of the ocean . But I remember, I think Jaws two even more . I bet it has more jaws. It has more jaws. And less emotional connecting with the older guys and there was like more gore and stuff, I think. That's where they kilm at the end when he bites on to the electric rod And there's one sailing there on a sailboat. Oh yeah, like a water thing. Jose three? Maybe I don't know. Yeah, I remember that was definitely like my friend Matt. We went over to his house and like we rented all the jobs movies and did different sleepovernights and like sleep oversight. The movie. It was it's one of those like entry level like tight sounds and titles and it's like should we write jaws ? Like not knowing anything, but it's like, okay, that's gonna be scary. There's something sort of exotic about it An adult. Yes, yeah, yeah., right I remember speaking of the rental days, I tried to from one of my birthdays we were having a sleepover, I wanted to get don't be a menace to the Wayne's br other one' tos South Central drinking your juice in the hood. Is that the full title? Yes. And we wanted to get that, but my parents or my older brother got don't be a menace. Menace Menace to society instead , which is like an R rated intense , you know, movie . And it was it was really intense . We started watching that when I was way too young. We thought it was going to be a comedy by all these little kids like, oh no, ladybirds can be funny. Were you did you with your Mormon upbringing were you like kind of only how was the curation of like movie movies? We were not allowed to watch Rated r movies. And there was like this , I think they've kind of been sued into oblivion at this point, but there was like a business that would edit movies and rent them out to people called Cleanflicks. Oh, wow. So there was a period of time where there were like several movies I had seen, R rated movies that like watching them as an adult, I just didn't realize there were huge chunks cut out of it . So I think the first really R rated movie I ever saw was in high school. I was probably in I think it was maybe twenty eight days later. Yeah, I don't think I saw a lot of Rated movies prior to that. Occasionally, I think my dad would take us to movies, but it was just like, well, I want to see this and I have these three boys. What else am I going to do with them? We're going to the movies. And none of the movies appeal to me whatsoever. But yeah, I think that's still kind of a thing. You don't watch an R rated film as a Morm on. Interesting. Oh, wow. And that like we had what is the what gets cut out? I mean, obviously like nudity, I imagine violence curse words in this is where we get into some territory. Yeah. Absolutely no violence would ever be cut out . Just nudity or six and could you say the F word? You can't say the F word. I think that's probably but violence was okay. Violence is totally fine. Of course, of course, of course.. Yeah Classic. The human body. Don't want to see that movie. Wanna see the boobs and butts ? I'm sure there are no penises . It's only been happening more recently . Wasn't that a thing? Like if there was a penis in a movie that would be like x rated. Oh yeah, like that was not allowed whatsoever . Okay , again, guys, here the rules. Here the rules . No penises. Only boobies . Okay . Do they vote? Yeah, it's a bunch of guys in a room . How did they come to that decision? Not allowed to see a penis in a movie. Then how does it like how have they changed their minds on that? They like let's get together and talk about dicks again, just like Yeah, it's a board of guys and they're like penises are approved . You guys comedically if possible. Yeah . And then I'm sure there's like an amount of time that it can be shown. I think we have loosened up quite a bit to the point of like they're probably not timing it anymore . Sure. Like counting the amount of times that you see it. But there was a point where I think it was like, well, if you see a flash or a blink of one, that's fine. You can get away with that. That could be PG thirteen category, maybe? Oh, a penis. Not a booby eighties. Right. Or a butt. Right. Yeah, yeah. I've seen some like G or PG movies with a butt. Really? Look I've seen a commercial with a butt to be honest. Oh my gosh. I have we gotta get the ratings towards rated. That was PG thirteen. Okay, yeah, that I remember. Yeah, that was a big one as far as like if you were like a teenager or like a elementary school or wait till you see Titanic. Yeah. Was there was there a boob and but in that? There's booby. I know who drew her, but yeah, she's naked. She's naked. Right. It'd be funny if you didn't see her, you just draw, just the drawing . And the drawing was kind of bad. Was that what he's seeing or is he just not good at drawing? I don't know public goes wild for him . It's a really good drawing . It's better than the real flick . That's something in movies if a character is drawing something will always be funny to me. When the drawing is revealed like a sincere drawing so stupid one of the funniest parts of the movie pop star to me is when Andy Samberg's characters show s his drawings of horses . It's like these are my horse genem. There's also a great bit in Road trip where Andy Dick, I don't know, he's like working at I don't know if it's a gas station or whatever, but he's watching a Bob Ross episode , which like Bob Ross , you know, iconically is like at his painting these beautiful like environments and trees and like yeah a little dash of green or whatever then. And Andy dig is going along and it's just like a really shitty drawing version of the painting. It's very funny to me. Yeah. And I'm sure it would be very funny the year two thousand one. It should be funny to all of us, but we got to see it. Same with the horses and pups are you gotta go. Yeah , can't really describe these things . Not saying you messed up. I messed up, you know, it's not gonna be as good as it is . No , no I'm sorry. No I'm sorry I think that I mean I feel like there's some people out there listening to this like that sounds like funny shit Oh it's not I'm laughing already. I can see it now. It's possible. The trees . The cheese I could see it now. The trees are cheese and the clouds are I don,'t know . Oh gosh . Perfect. That's really a game. That's really a game. I got it real quick. Yeah, San Luis Bispo. Great shirt. Thank you. I got this at in Highland Park at a place called Leader of the Pack. Okay. So like a nice little vintage store that's not too crazy price. It's wonderful. Is it on York or It's on York near Joy? Yes. Okay, I'm under fake less. Okay. Can I tell you something that bothers me about Joy? Please. I love joy. I love joy and I'd like to hear a complaint. Okay . There's always a long line. Yes . But to me , the delivery is perfect. I don't know why people are spending so much time going into the restaurant. I absolutely agree. I only get it delivered. I've never been to the restaurant. You've never been. No, I've been to Pine Crane. Right . And love it. It's a great experience. I find the line at Pine and Crane more problematic than at Joy because first of all you have to find parking in one of the worst parking situations on earth. Yes . And then the line could stretch around the building. Yeah. Joy, there's easy parking . If you get there around six to six thirty, no line. Yeah. But I agree. Have you had both versions? Yes. And I got to say I've actually never eaten inside. You never eaten because the line intimidates. Right. Do they ever have something at the restaurant that they don't have available for delivery? I don't think so. Yeah. So you really it travels so well. It really does travel well. I think that's it. And it's like, yeah, I feel like you're getting the experience. Yeah . And it's like become a staple of our rotation . Right. It's good, it's so good and it's just like kind of simple . You get like the rice with pork, rice with chicken, some greens, and noodles. Yeah, yeah, just I've never had the omelet delivered , the pancake? Oh . Is that work delivered? Yes, very good. Very good. I get it with everything. Yeah, I always get everything. I can't imagine it without everything. Yeah, I know, I know you need it all. Listener, we're talking about a restaurant, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's one of the best we live in as I would say. Yeah, that makes sense. It's a breakfast sandwich. Yeah. You live in I live in Highland Park. Yeah . Yeah. Listener, if you're in Highland Park, California and you want to wait in a line , Joy's the place to go. Got a joy. But it's a lovely place and it feels like they're almost doing a public service because it's still affordable and it's still very good. Yeah. Yeah. And your complaint does not really complain about the restaurant and no the food is great. I'm just like, I want to tell the people in line like just so you know you can have an alternative plan here . You can do something else. Yeah. I mean, complaining about the line there actually, I was there two nights ago. And this is a complaint about human behavior where the line started getting long and rather than waiting outside , everyone , this group decided to start just lining up around tables. So if they were just sending within inches of us in line , wouldn't if the line was at to the door , would you decide to wait outside the door or would you start to fill up the restaurant? Absolutely wait outside. This kind of thing happened to me recently at Proof where I was like get proof baked and I was like getting some stuff with my son. They were like, there's a little area and I was like getting some flowers and some other I was like looking through some book bouquets bouquet bouquets an impossible word impossible and people were like filling in to get in line and getting in our way and like congesting the restaurant. I was like, why are you doing this? Like just like wait until there's space and you can just wait outside. Yeah . It makes me kind of irrationally angry. Me too. I threw some comments like why do this had to get in? Yeah, I start making like I vocalize some sort of complaints. Yeah, probably just a noise. Yay . Very passive, they feel me like, was that for me? I kind of liking this. Let's get closer to them . Okay, we're going to play a game called Gift Our Curse, but I need a number between one and ten from you. From both of us together ? Yeah. Do you should be three? Oh yeah. What if okay, yeah, yeah. Wait, sorry, we're saying it's the same time. Stay on three. See, let's see if we have the same number. Okay, okay, hang on, hang on, hang on hang on. Okay, I want to lock into you. Okay, I have one. Okay, I have between two different options. I'm trying to read where you're at. Okay, okay . On three, we got one, two, three, then we say one, two, three, four . Fuck, that was my other one. Dude, amazing. Awesome job. Let's go five. Five. It feels like a five, right? Yeah. Okay, well, I mean it means I thought you were gonna I thought you were gonna have three N six . So anyway, really cool stuff. It would have been incredible if you had landed on. We've been doing it. We actually have found a couple moments in our course of podcasting where we have been like mentally locked in. Yeah. You got just to practice. We were close. Yeah, we were really close. Yeah, we'll work on. Or just agree on one number that you will always yeah, yeah, true . Simple cheat . Okay, I have to do some light calculating to get our game pieces so right now you can recommend promote, do whatever you want. I'll be right back. Okay, okay, great . Listeners, Kyle and I have an incredible podcast called What's our podcast where we don't know what our podcast should be about so we have a guest come on and they tell us and we try it . We're searching. We will never not be searching . Yeah It's a fun chance for Beck and I to hang out together. We've known each other since we were eighteen years old. We worked on Saturday Live together, which was actually a really cool job. Yeah, it was really amazing with everybody in New York City. And if you think about to me, that's sort of a comedy institut ion. I think of like the old school era and then there was like different eras . And just to be a part of it was really, really special. And to do it with one of your friends. Obviously you've been one of my friends. Yeah, you've been one of my friends and I made many other friends there I'm hopefully gonna be making more friends. We don't do the show anymore. No, no, we are not honest at all. So now it's like sort of we're in the podcast. So yeah, we've graduated and we've moved up a notch to podcasting now. So it's like it's been really fascinating sort of learning the ins and outs of each other. Yeah, definitely the ins, the outs always known about, but the ins are definitely pretty interesting, but we have a lot of fun. So come check us out new episodes every week Wednesday. And definitely check out Motown We actually want to plug Motown. It's not we want to make sure that people is still getting it sort of Barry Gordy's label if they don't if people don't keep listening to Murtown, it will go away and we don't want to go away. Four artists. Yes . Not the new ones, the old ones . The ones that are absolutely dead by . Yeah, everyone go listen to that podcast. Their podcast is so wonderful and do I have anything to recommend ? I just don't. Now, dinner I've been listening to a lot recently is the first album from the avalanches. Do you know that album? No . Since you've been since I left you , I listen to this once a year and it just is on the radio or on my stereo the entire time it's incredible. That's verse Classic Avalanches since I left you. Great . And you get you have a recommendation almost every episode. Almost never. I always Oh, really? Yeah. So when I actually I just kind of try to think of, oh, what was I listening to on the way here? Especially all my memory is horrible. And do you get a sense? No, do you ever get any interaction with your listeners of like, oh, I like that too, or do you yes , which then puts on pressure to like do another recommendation? Right. It's like, I don't want to let people down with a bad wreck. No, no. Yeah. So I'm very careful and just can't remember anything. So it keeps me safe.. Yeah Yeah. And you really, you did not like jaws. I like a lot of parts of jaws . I waited too long to see jaws. That's a fun take. I'm sure you get a lot of lot of fights with, you know, coming and in be got like,ta say it. Don't like John. Josh sucks. Just sucks . Okay, we're going to play Gift or Curse. I'm going to name three things. You will tell me if they're a gift or a curse and why. And then I'll tell you if you're wr right orong because there are correct answers. Okay . Yes. And you kind of have to come to a consensus on this. Okay. We can do that. It's act practicing our mind melting. Yeah, exactly. We can also like, if we can stop it out place, yeah, you can This first one is from a listener named Anna. Gift or a curse when a driver creeps alongside you in a full parking lot then asks if you're leaving as you walk to your car . That interesting. Well, because if you are walking to your car and you're leaving, you're not in the car, you're you're walking to they're kind of following you I can't really see why how it could be a gift because it's not like you need somebody to take your parking spot . Yeah, to me , listen, I like the act of I love helping people out, right? And I like the idea that somebody gets to take this thing that is coveted, right? Sure. But yeah, I do agree with you that I just you're putting pressure on immediately I'm like, I'll be like behind the wheel like fuck how quickly can I get out of here? I'm nervous all of a sudden when I know that like this thing is in play. Yeah. And I don't think I would go talk to somebody and be like, Hey, where you parked? You leaving? Can I get yourself? That's creepy. Like I would just drive around until I see them. I would maybe follow them, like kind of clock them. And if they go in, then I'm like pulling up and put my blink. That's that's right. Yes, that is the, I think that is a common move. You just sort of park , put your hazards on and then like but also like think like if you're a woman or guy's like you leaving? Like I'm gonna follow you to your car No, that's a curse. That sounds like a horror movie . I think we should say curse. I think we should agree I'm fucking with you. It's definitely a curse. Fuckin' with yourself a curse. What is it? Wrong gift, gift. How? This puts you on the driver's se'atre. in You a position of power now. You can walk as and you're getting, you know, you've got eyes on you. You've got somebody kind of taking a look and paying a little attention to you. You are twisted. You are twisted. I think last time I was here, I got everyone wrong. You didn't think so. You've got to fight today. You absolutely got to fight. No, this and also what a nice connection you can make with another person . You're giving, you're doing the favor. You're saying, Yeah, I can help you out today . Yeah. I do see that we do need more human contact we are looking for it. It kind of gives you whatever you want. You get to make whatever you want of the situation. You can torture them, you can help them out . You can just maybe kind of go, I wasn't going to leave, but if you give me twenty bucks you could threaten them. Yeah, you can demand payment . So it is a gift . So you got one wrong and that's fine so far. The second one is from a listener named Marty. Gift or a curse tall people at concerts . Okay, now I want to say this is a curse because really , but it seems like I get everything wrong. I'm thinking about it backwards. I'm thinking about it like too obviously or something. So let's talk this out. Tall people at concerts . Why is it good about it? Yeah, they're in your way. Well, if we're going off the logic of like whatever , I feel like I could be stretching here, but like, oh, this is a chance for human interaction, kindness, et cetera, et cetera. Like oh, this is a person who gets to experience this piece of art, right? And like that in itself is maybe positive, right? Sure. For them Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well , arguably for the community, who knows? Okay , we'll see. But yes, I think that is the I think that's the most positive thing I could think of. Tall person . Yes, tall . You tall people at concerts. That's what it says. People. You know, if you're with them and it's hard to see, they could be telling you what's going on. They could be like, they're coming on stage . You know, they're picking up the guitar . They're waving to the audience. That's if you're really short. And you're the most annoying tall person that's ever lived. Kind of a kind of a R Kelly DVD commentary at the concert . I have to, I mean , I feel like it's I think it's obvious we both immediately correct. I mean I mean not how could I possibly say anything different? I mean, it's just been the curse of my life absolutely. I was in a concert a couple of months ago. I was standing on a thing and the man was still taller than me. Really? And he wouldn't get out of the way. You know what I can't stand is the people who, well, I don't know, the people who stand up and dance when everybody's sitting. Oh, you don't like that. I disagree. I kind of go back on it because I'm like, great, you should stand up and dance. This is wonderful. To me , see, I don't like the idea of like being seated and being like, oho , I don't I don't like that. It's sort of like giving like kind of the royal court . Yeah I know, I know, but it's I feel like there's like an in between where like people know you start to feel that everyone's going to start dancing. Somebody stands up and it happens quickly. But if one person's just dancing and no one has stood up , something's wrong. Yeah, and it's even more so less that they're in my way and more so that they have become a sideshow. Yes. I have to look at this person and they're bad dancing and showing me how much they're enjoying it, how much it means to them. Yeah, you can picture them telling people I love live music. Right. Yeah. It's that personality. Yeah, I think it 's maybe also dependent on like the act, the musical act. Like is this danceable music? Is this music that like people should be dancing to? versus like there's no need to be dancing right now . Yeah, you're doing this for yourself, attention. Yes. Yeah. That's terrible. So you got the point. You got the point on this . That's a good view. And at the end, what happens with all the points? You get to do whatever you want with them. Yeah, we can buy stuff in the store. You can go to the general store. The eye said no gifts general store. Okay . This final one is from a listener named Lonnie, Gift or Recurse Astrology. I will say right away, I love the name Lanni. Lanni's a great name. Yeah. I think that's a solid name . There was a guy who ran the cheeseburger like he didn't run it, but he was like one of the main guys that are like local cheeseburger and like ice cream place. His name was Lonnie. It's a classic name. It was really cool. Yeah, Lonnie was really nice. George for something? I don't know. I didn't know him very well at all. And so like here he is like to surround all the cheeseburgers and all the cheeseburgers and fries and like cheese . That's amazing. I think I knew a guy like that. Yeah, his name was Lonnie That's fucking amazing Great story be gin coming in with the name story . A guy got the ice cream burger place . I remember I remember a Lanni from growing up actually it was sort of a cheeseburger based restaurant . Kind of a cheese bakery. Kind of a meat and cheese based burger restaurant . I believe they served ice cream there as well. Yeah. Now what was the name Astrology? They actually made their own ice cream. The name is Lonnie. The gift of a curse is astrology. To me, I'm I'm all gift. Yeah. Kyle is Kyle is Tapped . You're a big astrology person . You're astral . Yeah . You're on the plane. You are astral. Yeah, that's what I said. No, I'm just made . My feeling is whatever can give people hope . And I feel like in terms of like, you know, what's your sign? What's your sign? It's a way to connect with people. Right. And I do typically you're sounding pessimistic in a way that 's nervous. Right. Don't overthink. I love that. Right. Yeah Right . Right . To me , I feel like it's yeah, it serves a similar purpose to religion. And like, obviously there's a lot of a little bit more fun. Negativity that comes with religion and there have been wars, et cetera, et cetera, but like it gives people hope and that to is a positive thing. I think largely like you're reading your horoscope to be like, maybe something good will happen today. Yeah, not like, great something bad will happen. You're not going to it to be like, all right, what shit's gonna happen? What shit storm is gonna happen ? I get how that can be a trap too. Yeah . And it could be yes. I will say though, this is kind of adjacent. You've gotten you a little you're into the astrology the tarot cards, the numerology. And you said that this is your enemy year? Yeah. Oh Now you create new enemies or your enemies thrive. What happens? It's just a year where you sort of have to like kind of lay low. Oh , it's a bad year. The year itself that you're doing . Yeah, exactly. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Oof . And it's proven to be right . No . Interesting. I looked it up because it's my enemy here too. Corn in eighty four. Okay. And I was kind of like my thing was after talking to Kyle about this, it's like, huh, interesting. And then I kind of go like, no , like I get to have whatever year I want. I'm going to take what I want. Yes. I'm going to stand up for myself. Absolutely. I think it's a good way to look at it. I'm going to create my own luck . And I listen, I'm I'm not I'm not succumbing. I'm not like surrendering to the enemy of it all but I'm just saying like things are adding up bad way Yeah, it'm just feeling like o,kay I, can see some legitimacy to this to this concept because of our Patreon numbers . That is one thing, yes , which by the way, patreon dot com which I got our patreons . Okay. Don't support us. Patreon. Go to Patreon. It's a great service. Find buy stock. You might want to pay five dollars a month for not us necessarily, anybody . So you're going to say a that's how I feel , but like I am willing to go with curse if you think that like I'm willing to go curse for the sake of the game if not I think I think I'm going to go with you. Yeah. Okay so we're, gonna say gift. Correct. Correct . Oh my god. That is huge relief. I think it's wonderful. It's fun. It's fun to play around . Yeah, who cares if it's real or not it's like a little something. Yeah, it's a little something. Do they sell the little wrapped up ones at the grocery store? They must. That I miss. I don't recall the wrap. They almost look like a cigarette. Oh, yes. And you had like a cigaretteo. Yes, exactly. Cigarette. They get those back . Yeah. Yeah, I haven't seen those in a while and I loved those. Yeah. No, it's a nice thing to break the ice. What is your sign? Libra. Okay. Me too. That is the thing. I love asking the question, but I don't know what I should. I know. I wish I had more info. But I'll buy into whatever anybody tells me. I know that my wife and daughter are both geminized and like that I can wrap my head like the duel right twin Yeah . We have do you guys know the birth book? Oh , I got that on this podcast. Really? I love that. It's incredible. It's very fun to read. Very fun to read. You learn about other people. And it sometimes it lines up so well. Yeah, yeah. Interesting who else was born on your birthday and that sort of thing. Yeah. Good thing to have around. Who do you have? This funnel. I got Beyonce and baseball player, Mike Piazza . Oh wow. I actually don't know who I have. I think maybe John Lennon. That's cool. Maybe. Are you waiting? Don't tell me your date. December seventh or eighth. I mean, I could have stopped you. He's a liberty december. October ninth. October first. I'm thinking of the date. That John Lennon was hired murdered. I think it was amazing. Oh, that makes sense as well. Horrible winter day. Yes. Wait, when's your birthday? You know what? My mother was in labor on Labor Day, september fourth, oh , very cool. Also that movie Labor Day where I think a guy escapes prison to make a peach pie or something. I remember this. I don't remember this. I remember seeing a trailer where a guy escapes from prison and then they're kind of just like in an intimate position making a peach pie. This came out in the last day. It's not one of those ensemble like Valentine's Days. No, it felt very much just like two people. Interesting . And I think it was called Labor Day. I have to see this. It sounds incredible, doesn't it? No, I've made a good pitch for it. Yeah, I sold you on it. Well, you got two out of three. That's fantastic. Incredible. All right, let's answer a listener question here . People are writing into I said no gifts at gmail dot com just kind of begging for answers. This is hybrider andro Cversontial Guest. Made a swing there. My husband's thirty second birthday is coming up and I don't know what to get him. I thirty seven. I was like a thirty second birthday.

A pen or a penny. You don't need a penny here. It's gonna break you.iter Ially l don't even make them anymore. You don't need it. Well, that's true. Tick knows, I have I have my ticks. I'm gonna be thinking about the penny. Here's a nickel. Well maybe a nickel to you. This man's turning thirty two. And she doesn't know what to get him. I'm unemployed and feel weird spending money on him. We have a toddler and he works a lot from home. He loves nice things, but we are saving up for a new deck. I'm lost, please help. Love you deeply. That's from Sarah. So her husband is turning thirty two years old . They're they're already saving up for a new deck. She does not want to spend any money on him. No money. What is that? They're obviously in a fight. Like less a dollar or less than one hundred dollars. Oh, interesting. Right. Like she doesn't want to go big or she wants to make something at home. Right. She should have given that detail. That's the first thing you interpret email. I thought just like not a lot. Yeah, you know, like fifty bucks fifty bucks just, you know, within that range . Or something made at home or maybe something for the deck. Yeah, I was thinking something for the deck. First thing I want to think of was an outdoor like a little pizza oven, but that's expensive. Oh yeah, that's if you get one hundred under fifty dollars you're in trouble. Yeah. I was gonna say maybe check out Facebook Marketplace. Oh, how on Craigslist? Yeah, used Uni. Right. But then why are they selling? Yeah, exactly. You can't trust the vowel My instinct , which is just to me like the most down the middle gift, that is a home brewery kit. Oh, really, but that's a lot of work. That feels like you're giving someone an entirely new hobby. Yeah. It's a lot, Kyle. It's like learning. It's a lot . But see, and I guess you guys had this experience with the wooden spoon. Yeah, a little bit. But to me, like it's like , yeah, but now it's on you. Like this is your chance to get into something. Sure. I've opened a door for you. Yeah. If you want to walk through, great. Yeah , and who love me, great. And it's more almost a gift for her. If she wants to nag her husband a little bit and be like, Are you gonna break some beer? I haven't seen you open the kit. So this nagging wife and this if she wants to be naggy and spend no money You want to be a naggy one? You know what I like, which I think I don't know, maybe this is Janish . What? What plate on us? Because like gift certificates, here's the thing. Like it could be too broad, right? But I like an eBay gift certificate. Oh, interesting. Because you can get all sorts of weird things . For the price, you know, it's you can find all kinds of things for fifty bucks, whatever you're into, whatever he's into, like, it's like, I want a vintage race car poster. Right. That sounds great. And if he's a shrewd bidder on there, he could get several objects from me . Honestly , so I don't know, we don't know much about this guy. They have the deck. They've got the deck coming up. That's about it, right? And she's sick of spending money on him. I think a cool old school like sports car poster. Okay, interesting. So you kind of just took Kyle's idea. Yeah, I'm supporting Kyle's idea. Well, you're skipping the gifts ticket. Right. Fine . You're saying like the gift is the poster. That's what you like the most. Right. Yeah. Did you have do you have any race car posters? No. I had a fucking beautiful like yeah big it was sports it was a Lamborghini, but it's like riding my room like dan, you know, like on like a checkered floor like kind of dark room. Yeah. Like when I'm older, I'm gonna be driving that so good . Can you imagine driving a lamp rici ? They're bad. They're supposed to be not good. You can't drive them around. No, that's not a practical car. It wasn't in the cars. It was just like, I need to have a car posture. Yeah,, ye youah like're, this is what guys do. People know I'm aware of this object . I'm cool and tough and I want a hot rod. Yeah, I don't think I ever had a car poster. I bought an old Lamborghini poster a few years ago at Goodwill in Palm Springs thinking. But now it's just sitting in my closet because where does that go in a home? Right. Yeah. It was a fun thing to look at for a minute. Yeah. An old lamborghini . Yeah . You know, and you gotta, of course, you got to go to the thing of like, do we frame it? Right. Am I spending money? Am I spending six hundred dollars to frame this flare dollar
