Overview

In this episode of I Said No Gifts!, comedian and actor Jacob Wysocki visits Bridger Winegar’s backyard for a freewheeling and very funny conversation that travels from Walmart’s liminal spaces to psychedelic adventures, sour cream aversion, and the punk scene of LA. Of course, as tradition dictates, Jacob brings a gift in flagrant disregard of Bridger’s “No Gifts!” rule, resulting in an entertaining unraveling of the peculiar rituals and choices behind it. The episode strikes a perfect balance between comedic banter, thoughtful reflection, and absurd storytelling, all fueled by the duo’s mutual caffeine overdosing.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Life in Burbank: Walmart & the Mythical “Third Space”

Timestamps: 02:24–06:54

• Bridger airs “petty grievances” about Halloween displays and the existentially confusing presence of a saber-toothed tiger skeleton at the local Burbank Walmart.
• Jacob and Bridger riff on the “liminal” feel of Walmart:

  “It is the grayest space I’ve ever been in.” — Bridger (05:32)

• Explorations of local commerce, including dueling adjacent Ulta and Sephora stores, a Target nearby, and the sacred consumer geography of Burbank.
• Fascination with a “deeply Christian gym” as a new layer of LA weirdness and the hunt for a “third space” after home and work.
• Running joke: Would Christians combine church and gym into a one-stop weekly workout?

2. Morning Rituals: Caffeine, Connections, and Moods

Timestamps: 08:05–10:43

• Jacob explains his shift from coffee to caffeine pills for a more controlled morning jolt.
• Both discuss their struggles with mornings, including Bridger’s self-avowed “hateful” pre-caffeine demeanor:

  “I would go beyond that… just, I would say hateful.” — Bridger (09:41)

• The hosts trade stories about their dependence on morning habits and word games like “Connections.”

3. Gambling, Smoking, and Generational Vices

Timestamps: 10:23–13:12

• Jacob enjoys “controlled gambling”—dipping into roadside casinos with a set budget and channeling “psychic power.”
• Nostalgia and horror at casinos where smoking is still permitted; both are bemused at Gen Z’s return to cigarettes:

  “The Gen Z — they’re smoking stokes... They love a cig.” — Jacob (12:29)

4. Work Stories: From Food Trucks to Drunken Wine Moms

Timestamps: 15:10–21:02

• Jacob details his pandemic-era stint as a chef on a Jamaican food truck thanks to a family friend, and tales from his first food industry job at “Delightful Dinners,” a meal-prep concept targeting wine-loving moms.
• Anecdotes about washing vats of curdled sour cream sour Jacob on the ingredient for life and the odd moral landscape of his ultra-Christian, yet wine-serving, boss.

5. Food Aversion: Sour Cream, Mayo, and Hot Tuna Melts

Timestamps: 21:04–23:44

• A deep dive into divisive condiments: Jacob dislikes all “cremas” (sour cream, mayo, aioli), while Bridger is more neutral, and both agree that “pro-mayo” is not a personality.
• Bridger’s disastrous first (and last) tuna melt:

  “It was heavy. It was wet. It was hot fish. It was so soft.” — Bridger (22:25)

• Jacob links his aversion to fish with childhood near-drowning experiences in SoCal surf culture.

6. The Beach: Philosophy, Technology, and Sunburns

Timestamps: 25:05–27:17

• Jacob waxes poetic about all-day beach trips as existential therapy, and marvels at modern pop-up “tent technology” for sun relief.

  “The tent technology, in the last five years… it’s gotten crazy for beach wear.” — Jacob (26:35)

• Bridger struggles to see the appeal, citing sunscreen anxieties and the tyranny of sand.

7. The Gift Reveal: Acid, Mushrooms, and the Gray Market

Timestamps: 28:08–36:32

• In open defiance of the “No Gifts” rule, Jacob presents Bridger with two tabs of acid and a mushroom — a “classic small gift in a big bag.”
• Detailed run-down of LA’s semi-legal drug market, from warehouse pop-up “farmer’s markets” to Telegram-based collectives, as Jacob navigates away from over-regulated dispensaries toward community-driven, “gray-market” drug sales:

  “It’s like selling raw milk… but as soon as you put the mushrooms in, it becomes significantly more black market.” — Jacob (32:12)

8. Psychedelic Adventures: Tripping Mishaps & Revelations

Timestamps: 38:05–54:35

• Jacob recounts both gentle microdosing and one “bad trip” while on mushrooms with an improv group in Big Bear:

  “I just left and I didn’t tell anybody, and I was gone for like two and a half hours just like tripping sack… wandering through these neighborhoods… being like, does anybody get me?” — Jacob (41:34)

• Bridger admits to only one mild mushroom trip, but with the unforgettable image of Bill Cosby's face mid-scandal burned into his psyche.
• Jacob’s psychedelic metaphors:

  “Mushrooms is a bicycle and acid is an e-bike. Mushrooms is less Tron, more FernGully.”

9. Music Festivals, Punk Shows, and LA Venues

Timestamps: 54:35–59:03

• Jacob reminisces about tripping at the Sasquatch Festival, seeing LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy DJ with a live gospel choir, and his love for LA’s punk scene “the DIY venues, the gray market venues.”
• Recent shout-outs to Five Star Bar and The Smell, iconic punk venues in LA.

10. Brian Eno, Oblique Strategies, and Creative Cards

Timestamps: 59:48–61:50

• Bridger geeks out about Brian Eno and introduces Jacob to “Oblique Strategies,” a creative card deck/app invented by Eno:

  “He created this, like, card thing...different directives. And you would pull a card from the deck… Creatively, they would follow that directive.” — Bridger (60:33)

11. Game Time: Gift Master

Timestamps: 61:55–68:09

• Jacob plays “Gift Master,” matching wacky gifts (good long look in the mirror, a short-lived but beloved dramedy, in-home urinal) with celebrities (Barbara Corcoran, Stephen King, Malia Obama).
• Memorable bits: Jacob riffs on Barbara’s need for self-reflection and King’s lack of dramedy in his career.

  “Get a hobby, Babwa... I think I’d give her a long look in the mirror, and she’d probably love it.” — Jacob (65:00)

12. Listener Question: Pest Blame and Brutal Honesty

Timestamps: 68:09–72:59

• The duo fields a listener dilemma about ants and fruit flies appearing after a dog sitter’s stay, prompting an impassioned, tough-love response from Jacob:

  “Grow up. This is so lame. Fucking grow up… Why do you have to blame someone? This is a fairly common problem.” — Jacob (69:27)

• Bridger and Jacob advise getting chalk for ants and letting minor annoyances go.

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On Drug Markets:

  “It’s like a farmer’s market. You can go and smell it like you used to…there’s a lot of independent growers.” — Jacob (35:10)

• On Bad Trips:

  “The worst of it is, I came back after two hours…and the whole house was locked. I can’t get to Zach in my phone. I’m overwhelmed and I can’t get in.” — Jacob (43:31)

Tone & Style

The conversation is witty, self-aware, and both hosts lean into exaggerated exasperation and playfulness (“You fucking love [sour cream]. I smell it on you!”). There are flourishes of absurdity, dry humor, and honest admissions throughout, making the banter feel accessible and spontaneous. Jacob, in particular, leans into vulnerability and levity simultaneously, while Bridger maintains a dry, unflappable host persona.

---

In Summary

If you haven’t listened, this episode is a masterclass in meandering, meaningful, and hilarious podcasting. It combines the mundanity of Walmart with the surreal weirdness of music festivals and the raw honesty of bad psychedelic adventures. As always, the forbidden gift is just the entry point for a memorable hour-plus of stories, gags, and unexpectedly philosophical asides. Highly recommended for fans of conversational comedy and LA’s creative underbelly.

[Jacob Wysocki]

This is exactly right.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Hey, Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now I don't know if you've heard, but Mint's Premium Wireless is $15 a month. But I'd like to offer one other perk. We have no stores. That means no small talk.

[TJ Watt]

Crazy weather we're having.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, it's not. It's just weather. It is an introvert's dream. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment.

So your AI agents, they make the team that uses them more productive, right? But if they aren't connected to other agents or your data or your existing workflows, how productive can they really make your teams? Any business can add AI agents. IBM connects your agents across your company to change how you do business. Let's create Smile IBM.

[TJ Watt]

I'm NFL linebacker TJ Watt and this is my personal best. YPB by Abercrombie is the activewear I'm always wearing. That's why I reached out to co design their latest drop. I worked with designers to create high performance activewear that holds up to my toughest workouts. Shop YPB by Abercrombie in store online.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And in the app.

[TJ Watt]

Because your personal best is greater than anything.

[Alec Murdoch]

When I invited you here, I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest in my home, you gotta come to me empty handed. I said no gifts. Your presence is presents enough. And I already had too much stuff, so how do you dare disobey me?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Welcome to I said no gifts. I'm bridger weiniger. It's 11am I've already been to the Burbank Walmart. It was a fine, you know, unsettling. And not at the same time. The customer service was excellent. They had a giant skeleton in the shape of a saber toothed tiger. Which I feel like is a confused message for Halloween. I don't know what we're talking about when we have it. That's a museum piece. That's not Halloween. I don't think that's gonna take off like the other skeleton has. But who am I to say? I didn't know the skeleton would take off. Why was I at Walmart? I had to return something. It was my birthday last week and someone got me the wrong thing. So now it's a whole journey. But oh, I should talk about found coffee. I haven't talked about found coffee in a long time. It's in Eagle Rock, California. They do not sponsor the podcast. What I'm doing here is I'm secretly building up a bill for them. Eventually, we're gonna slam them with an advertising bill, and then they'll be out of business. But in the meantime, you should go. I love found coffee. The other. Well, speaking of Halloween, look at me go. This is because I've had about 500 milligrams of caffeine already. But on the way from found coffee, I noticed that our local car wash is now doing a haunted car wash. I don't know what goes on in a haunted car wash, and I don't want to know. But that's a new option. Everyone wants to get in on the Halloween game. I don't know why. It's bigger than Christmas at this point. I think you don't get a Christmas car wash. It's not a bad idea. Bellagio car wash. Reach out. What else is going on? Oh, the other thing. I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with Peter Thiel and the Antichrist. I don't know if. I almost don't want you to Google this because this could ruin your algorithm. Do you say Antichrist or Antichrist? Neither sounds right to me. But Peter Thiel is waging war on the Antichrist, and that's all I really know. But thank you, Peter. Okay, well. Oh, Patreon. Of course. We've gotta mention patreon. Patreon.com I saidno gifts. The amount of material there, I mean, it's a treasure trove. Bonus episodes of the show. Also episodes of me ranting about the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and then Secret lives of Mormon Wives and then who knows what else. I watched a little bit of Sister Wives last night and season 20. Things are not going well for the polygamists. Come to Patreon. Support the podcast. Okay, I've. I mean, this has been 30 minutes. It's time to get into the podcast. Everyone loves today's guest. He's fantastic. It's Jacob Wysocki. Jacob, welcome to I said no ghost. Hello. I'm sorry.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Hello.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, I brought a lot of information here.

[Jacob Wysocki]

There's a rule in podcasting. You can't talk till you're intro'd. I follow the rules.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You did very well.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm a consumer of the media. I understand how it works.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Occasionally, the guest pops in.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I almost did.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I would have welcomed it.

[Jacob Wysocki]

That Burbank, Walmart's fucking nuts.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It is the grayest space I've ever been in.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Gray is a great way to describe it. It is liminal in that it is so far away from being in Los Angeles, California, yet it is here.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes. It really feels like, oh, now I'm in another. I. I have just gone to another realm.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. Have you been to like, more rural Walmart?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, I grew up in Utah, so I've been to, I would say almost any type of Walmart you can imagine. And I've been to them at every time of day when I go visit my parents. Sometimes I'll just go wander around the Walmart late at night just for the experience.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Walmart is crystal clear.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. The weirdest thing to see is a full family at Walmart at that time of day.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. What? Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's like maybe vampires. I don't know what's happening.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's good that we're all out.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, yeah, I'm glad.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's good that they're all out together. That's nice. You love to see a family in arms.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, yeah, of course, of course.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

This Walmart. And I'll also say it's in a parking lot with an Ulta and a Sephora. You've the tension there between these two makeup stores.

[Jacob Wysocki]

They're constantly fighting.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Constantly fighting. Who allowed that to happen? You can't have both.

[Jacob Wysocki]

No. And how do you choose as a consumer?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, of course. That's right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You just go where there's parking. Oh, there's a spot at Ulta pulling in.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I guess there's also a target within walking distance of this Walmart.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I mean, that's. We're talk. You're talking about the beauty of Burbank at this point.

[Bridger Weiniger]

There's room for everyone in Burbank. There's also kind of a religious workout center over here.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Tell me more.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I wish I could.

[Jacob Wysocki]

How religious? Like God religious?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Deeply Christian gym. Why did I call a gym a workout center?

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's not wrong. You weren't wrong. Don't be mean to yourself. You weren't wrong.

[Bridger Weiniger]

My English classes are coming along well. They have a Christian gym.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Great.

[Bridger Weiniger]

This is a new phenomenon which I don't understand.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's the race for the third space.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That mythical third space. What is it?

[Jacob Wysocki]

They need it. They need it. And then we also gotta get Christ in the mix.

[Bridger Weiniger]

People love going to the gym and church. How do we combine those two things?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't know. I guess it's a two for one do.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. Interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

A spiritual body practice.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. You go there on Sundays. Interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Once a week gym.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Once a week gym. They're. Now we're finding some appeal for people. This is all starting to add up.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's good marketing at this point. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But then the music, it's probably Christian rock.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Not fun.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No one likes it. Even the people who say they like it.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Even the people who make it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. They're like, well, I'd rather be doing something else.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. I'm just getting my bag.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah, of course, of course. How are you doing?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm good, man. I'm good. Beautiful. Burbank, California, you know, nice early morning pod. It's great because you don't have to do anything before this.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And I technically don't have to do anything after this.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It really.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I did something.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's a dangerous thing to do a podcast early in the morning.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I know. It's kind of nice. I also have tripled up on caffeine in a way that I normally don't.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What sort of caffeine were you consuming?

[Jacob Wysocki]

So I've moved away from liquid caffeine as a regular. And I take a caffeine pill with my vitamins in the morning. Why? I just think it just kind of gets in the system in a way that's a little better.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And I don't feel like I crash and it doesn't get me, like. Cause sometimes you overshoot and then you're.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Just, like, buzzing every single. My hands will be shaking at some point. Just wait. Keep an eye on my body.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm locked in. Yeah, I'm locked in.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Tremors.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'll ring a bell when you start to sh. But, yeah, it's nice. And then sometimes you don't have to take it. If I want a slow morning. It's not like you get hooked in the same way I think you do with coffee and the ritual of brewing your coffee or making your espresso or whatever. So on the weekends, if I want to be lazy, I just don't take my caffeine pill.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And I can just kind of lumber around.

[Bridger Weiniger]

See, for me, it's not about feeling lazy. It's about feeling, like, wanting to be awake at all.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

When I wake up, I'm just. I mean, the most miserable person you could possibly encounter. Just not a good.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Sort of a grumbly bear situation.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I would go beyond that.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Just. I would say hateful.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Sure. Spite.

[Bridger Weiniger]

There's a lot of spite.

[Jacob Wysocki]

There's darkness in me in the morning.

[Bridger Weiniger]

So until I've had some level of caffeine, it's just I can't. You can't be around me.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Now, what happens if you don't get the juice?

[Bridger Weiniger]

If I don't get the juice? I mean, I.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's a wash.

[Bridger Weiniger]

There was a huge part of my life that I wasn't getting the juice in the morning, and it was just like, well, what's wrong with me? Well, it's because I don't have the normal brain chemistry of other people.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Then you get into this, and you're like, oh, now I get a lovely beverage in the morning. And then about an hour after waking up, I can communicate with other people.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Great.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And at that point, I can start doing my. What's the game that I play? Connections.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't know what this is.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You don't know Connections.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's a word game.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah, it's like a word game kind of in the same vein as Wordle.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I think it's better than Wordle.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Oh, hey, fucking shots fired.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You heard me. Wordle is just a guessing game. It's just, you know, a slot machine, essentially.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Isn't there Strat? There's Strat.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Barely.

[Jacob Wysocki]

There's Strat.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, there's.

[Jacob Wysocki]

They're always talking. There's a little Strat because it's like, S is more than T or whatever.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But people talk about strategy with a slot machine.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And there's. It's like, no.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You ever have a friend who figured out roulette?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And they're like, I just. I figured out the system. It's the system. And then they go and they're like, well, there's actually just some error with my system.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's like, well, I gave you my money because you were so confident.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And now I'm realizing, oh, this is still purely chance.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And you're delusional. Do you gamble at all?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I do. I like. I like a controlled gambling situation where I'm going in with $100.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And then I will leave.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And that either means I'm going to sit and slow play and see if I can accumulate, or sometimes I just go for, like, the one big dopamine, and I go, like, straight to roulette. Put it on black and just, like, hope. And I, like, channel my psychic power.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's like running an errand. Just pop in.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I love, like, a road trip where there's, like, a little dinky casino.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, sure, sure.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Like, I'd rather stop there for, like, my little, like, stretch and break situation. And then, like, play 20 in a.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Slot, inhale some cigarette smoke.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yes, yes. I used to smoke cigs. I don't smoke cigarettes anymore. So it is like, a cheat.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's a bit of a cheat.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That actually is. It's always shocking to find people smoking in a casino. I mean, like, it's wicked to be indulge. Truly wicked.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's the last frontier.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It really is. It feels like. I can't believe they haven't banned this yet.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Please keep it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, I think it's part of the charm.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. Some places, I think, are, like, moving away from it in the year of our Lord 2025. But I'm like, you're not a true casino.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, no, no.

[Jacob Wysocki]

If you don't reek, and if they.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Want Gen Z, they need to keep the cigarettes.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Well, the Gen Z, they're smoking Stokes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They love a cig.

[Jacob Wysocki]

They're going for cigs. They're kind of like they're getting off the baa Ba.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Just fucking blast a cig.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They're the same thing.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. I would argue maybe worse. Probably because we don't know.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. We don't know what the science is.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You're also ripping it in your house now.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And a cigarette's kind of a. More of a leather jacket, for sure. You're not on. You're not vaping off like a. You're not sitting on a motorcycle vaping.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I hope not.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No. You're not on your Harley. You're not at a slot machine with a vape.

[Jacob Wysocki]

No. No. If you are, you're losing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're losing the secret to slot machines. Gotta have a genuine tobacco.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Back to the Walmart. Just briefly, when was the last time you were in there?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I was actually there pretty recently.

[Bridger Weiniger]

For what reason?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I needed, like, three international food items that they tend to carry.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Such as?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I needed gochujang, a fermented bean paste, like a Korean bean paste. I needed jerk chicken seasoning that they have there. They have like a wagwan. I forget what it's called, but it's like a jarred. And what was the other thing? I think like a mirin, like rice wine vinegar.

[Bridger Weiniger]

This feels like you were creating a chopped basket.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It was one meal, and then I just like, I need a jerk chicken for the pantry.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right? I need my jerk pantry staple.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow, you make a lot of jerk chicken.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I used to work in a Jamaican food truck.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Really?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, as a chef. I cook. I cook. Yeah. I mean, like, on a food truck, everybody kind of does everything right. It's kind of like just all hands on deck. So, yeah, I was cooking, I was prepping, I was cutting, I was frying. And I was also the token white. Sure, yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

How did you end up in this truck? I feel like, unless you own, like. Did you submit an application to the truck?

[Jacob Wysocki]

It was kind of like a family friend. My mom was really close with this guy named Dylan who they used to work together, and he had a side business of a Jamaican food truck. He's from Belize. He's Belizean and cooks really, really good Caribbean food with his family. And during the pandemic, shit was tough. There was no job, and I was looking for work. And he was kind enough to, like, that's incredible. Come work on the truck.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And had you cooked much before this?

[Jacob Wysocki]

My first job was like, a dishwasher, food prep.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Like, way, like, in my.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What was the restaurant?

[Jacob Wysocki]

It wasn't a restaurant.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It was called Delightful Dinners.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I like this.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And it was essentially like, hellofresh. But before this was a crazy concept, and I wonder how it would do today, but it was like a bunch of wine moms would show up and they'd drink wine, and we had these stations that would be a complete meal. And all of the stuff was pre measured. So it was like chicken tortilla soup. And this scoop is the perfect measurement for the amount of bouillon you need. And this scoop is the perfect for the amount of green peppers you need. And you'd construct a meal to take home and freeze, to pull out to cook fresh home ingredient meals.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And what sort of space was this taking place in?

[Jacob Wysocki]

It was in, like, a commercial kitchen space. Yeah, yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And it did.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Well, no, it lasted like a year and a half, two years, something like that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It feels like it was very ahead of itself.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And obviously those things are very popular now where it's like, I want fresh ingredients sent to my house so I can cook and we can bring the family back to the table.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Of course. That's what's wrong with America today.

[Jacob Wysocki]

We're not eating together at the table.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, but this one would send you. Allow you to drive home drunk.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, okay. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

These women would get hammered. They would just get tanked. And my boss was very, very Christian guy. And I always thought it was this interesting moral crossover because he would make us pray before work. And I had to lie about being religious.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Whoa.

[Jacob Wysocki]

To get the job. I was like, yeah, totally, man.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's really weird.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And every shift he'd be like, I don't know, maybe doing his little shit. But then he'd also allow people to just get absolutely incinerated.

[Bridger Weiniger]

He's probably running this gym now, maybe.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wonder. I'd pay 550 bucks to see what that guy's up to. And no penny more.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I like the extra $50.

[Jacob Wysocki]

A little walking around money.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I worked as my first job as a dishwasher. Well, yeah. At both Shlotsky's Deli and Gecko's Mexican Grill.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Ooh.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Rip to both of those.

[Jacob Wysocki]

What was the grossest thing that you had to regularly wash?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, that's a great question. I later worked at a bakery where we also had to wash things and you had to wash out. They would cook full turkeys in, like, a tin and, like, scraping essentially turkey off of the thing into hot water. Nightmare. What about you?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I think like sour cream.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Cause it curdles under the heat.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, why was it under the heat?

[Jacob Wysocki]

The heat of the water. Oh, wow.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. Because it curdles. That Quickly.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. Cause you're washing with hot water for sanitation reasons.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. It's a scalding hot water.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, exactly. And so you'd be washing out the cabro a vat of sour cream, because the wine moms need it for their Greco Roman fiesta chicken or whatever. And you'd wash it, and it would just, like, curdle, and then the smell would waft. Yeah. There's a couple things that really I can no longer enjoy because I just. For two years.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You can't eat sour cream.

[Jacob Wysocki]

No, I'm out.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm fully out.

[Bridger Weiniger]

People have very strong opinions about sour cream, even when they're not cleaning it.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't get it. Even before the clean, it's like, okay, cool. I guess I'll eat some bad milk. But it cools my burrito down, so I'm winning.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It adds some tang.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Are you pro sour cream?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I wouldn't say pro is a strong food. You fucking shit.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You fucking love it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm with the sour Cream Council, okay? And everyone, you should start your morning with a bowl. That's all I'm saying.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You're on the propaganda train, man. I smell it on you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Get a spoon. Get a straw. Get into your sour cream. No, I don't mind it.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Neutral. A neutral party.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. When I find it in a burrito, I'm like, well, they put another ingredient. Ingredient. And thank God, bang for your buck. Yeah, bang for your buck. I would prefer guacamole in the place of that. How do you feel about creme fraiche?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm just kind of not on the crema. The creme. The cream.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You won't do it.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't even really do mayo.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Really?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Mayo's another category.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'll hit an aioli. Maybe.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting maybe. Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And that's just, I guess, good marketing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It is, because it is mayo.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's the same.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It is. With some sort of flavor, essentially.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. You put a little garlic or a little stank in there or something. Right.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No mayonnaise. I've learned to deal with.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I can, like, be a big boy.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And just be like, okay, fine, I'm gonna eat it.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'll try. But I don't get it. I don't get what we're getting out of it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. I guess.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Compared to, like, a mustard or just the taste of salami.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The taste of salami.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't need it. More wet, man.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Some sandwiches, the bread is too dry and you need something there to wet it up.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And whose fault is that?

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's you Know, ultimately the baker. And we've gotta go all the way back. It's not even the restaurant, it's the baker.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I say we blame the farmers, but.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah, we should just get back to the grain.

[Jacob Wysocki]

The dry grain.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. Whoever was the person with the scythe, ultimately is to blame for mayonnaise. No, I can eat essentially anything. I had something to eat recently that I wish I could remember what I was. Oh, it was a tuna melt.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

First time eating a tuna melt.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It was your first time.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Last time only made it halfway through.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. What did you not like about it?

[Bridger Weiniger]

It was heavy. It was wet. It was hot. Fish.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It was so soft.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm right there with you, buddy.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Have you had one before?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I have not.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't eat fish.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, you don't eat fish?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't really like fish.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, well then this is gonna be a problem.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It tastes like drowning to me. It has a. I think I have like a. Maybe a bit of a trauma trigger.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. Have you drowned?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm currently not. Currently not. So I grew up in SoCal.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

We could ride the shitty bus to the beach. And I feel like the culture of being a kid was like, you swim until you almost drown and then you go in and that's when you're done at beautiful experience. And there was a couple times where you're. There's a couple times where you're really like, having fun and you're being a young man and then you get caught in a riptide and you're like, don't know. I honestly don't know about this one.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And then you like, barely. And it's like, that's kind of the same taste as fish. Is that like. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No. I was in the ocean for the first time in a long time recently, and it's way scarier than I expected if.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, man.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's really out of control.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's. It's. You have to really respect it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's not a lake. It's not a river.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's so different. And you can get tricked. You can be like, oh, it's calm. The waves are only two feet. And then for whatever reason, there's just like a six foot set and you're fucked.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Horrifying. Do you know Josh Sharp?

[Jacob Wysocki]

No.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Comedian Josh. He drowned in Mexico. I guess, like, technically, does when you drown, do you die or is it. He was knocked out and washed up on the shore, basically.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I think to me that's cause of death.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Like, drown is full. I think you almost drown.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Almost drowned.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. To me, drown is dead and even, and we can look that up.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Jamie, Annalise, what is the final word on drowning?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, I would really like to get to the bottom of that. It looks as if.

[Abercrombie Advertiser]

Yes, it's pretty final.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. That's the final word. Totality. Okay, so he almost drowned, but, like, to the point that, like, some. His brain, I think, essentially kind of shut down for a minute. And to me, that's like, okay, if.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You cross over, I'll give it to you. If you cross the angel. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Then you have a bestseller on your hand and all kinds of. I mean, your career opens up in a huge way.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Oh, I wish I could write an angel book. Oh, I know. It'd be good, that book tour.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Go be reckless in the ocean. Go for it. Are you a beach guy in general?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. I'm kind of like, Unfortunately, a classic SoCal guy.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You have a bit of a beach vibe.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

This is not a bad thing. Thing. It's a good thing.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I like all versions of going to the beach, but I'm a guy who's like, I'm gonna get there early and I'm gonna stay all day and.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Are you reading? What are you doing? You're playing in the sand. You're splashing in the water.

[Jacob Wysocki]

All of it.

[IBM Advertiser]

Wow.

[Jacob Wysocki]

All of it. You're. I think it's a great way to, like, get away from the phone for, like, an extended period of time. And I think a lot of it is just, like, focusing on kind of, like doing nothing and enjoying just, like, the sounds and the sights and, like, maybe you're with some friends and so you've got, like, some fellowship and. And community, and it's kind of about the nothingness of it. And then you get to fill that nothing with, like, little things. And it's sandcastle time, and it's swim time, and it's like, go for a walk time or nap time.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're making this sound way more appealing to me. Cause I just think I'm tired and there's an hour drive home and I want to take a shower.

[Jacob Wysocki]

So I think that maybe if you thought about it as, like, it's a whole day, it's like Disneyland.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. It's not.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's not a three hour thing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You pop in and then go home.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Right. You're going to do the whole thing, right?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. But it is a lot of sun. You gotta be careful.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I know. I feel like. Do you tan?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, I kind of get A little olive. Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're very lucky for me. Not a not.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You're a little more fair than I.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes. So there's a lot of worrying about reapplying the sunscreen and have I got enough on in the first place?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Look, the tent technology. In the last five years, the tent technology, it's gotten crazy for beach wear.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Like, what?

[Jacob Wysocki]

People are just. There's all these, like, things that you can just pop up and all of a sudden you're shaded. And it's like. I would have loved that when I.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Was a K. Right?

[Jacob Wysocki]

There's all these, like. And it. The wind. And it just uses the wind to keep up and you're shaded and.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Because the umbrella is not doing anything for anyone.

[Jacob Wysocki]

So old school at this point. Passe.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I would say a fallacy. The umbrella fallacy.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's a logical fallacy. You gotta get one of these sun. These sun umbrella. I don't even know what they're called. The tech's amazing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, I know what parking lot to go to. The rei, Walmart, Target, Ulta, Sephora parking lot, Best Buy.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Mm. They got it all.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They've got it all.

[Jacob Wysocki]

They got a Wendy's, and then you can go get it out back.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Steakhouse.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Give me a bloomin. Let's get a bloomin after this. Let's cut the pod now and go get a bloomin.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, as much as I'd like to keep talking about that parking lot, I feel like there's something else we should. It's not. I don't want to talk about it. I didn't even want to bring it up, to be honest, but, you know, I thought Jacob's wonderful friend of a friend of friends. I think a lot of people can vouch for this guy. He'll come on the podcast, we'll have a nice time and then move on with our days. Maybe split a bloomin. The podcast is called I said no gifts. So I was a little. I was surprised when you showed up today holding this gorgeous gift in this stunning kind of magenta pink sparkling bag.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Can't show up empty handed.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, that's.

[Jacob Wysocki]

That would be rude. We're new friends.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, well, if we're friends, I'm always looking for new friends.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, I can't enter a new friend situation empty handed. They'd be so rude.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, well, that's a perfectly good excuse. Should I open it here on the podcast?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I would be honored if you opened it. Okay, let's get into it and just have fun.

[Ed Helms]

Hey, everyone. Ed Helms here.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And hi, I'm Kal Penn and we're.

[Jacob Wysocki]

The hosts of Irsay The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club.

[Ed Helms]

This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Jenny Garth, host of the I Heart podcast. I choose me to discuss the new Audible adaptation of the timeless Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice. This is not a trick question. There's no wrong answer. What role would I play?

[Abercrombie Advertiser]

You know what?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I can see you as Mr. Darcy.

[Abercrombie Advertiser]

You got a little call in first.

[Ed Helms]

Okay, that's really sweet. I appreciate that, but are you sure I'm not the dad? I'm not Mr. Bennett. Here, listen to Earsay the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[TJ Watt]

I'm NFL linebacker T.J. watt, and this is my personal best. YPB by Abercrombie is the activewear I'm always wearing. That's why I reached out to co design their latest drop. I worked with designers to create high performance activewear that holds up to my toughest workouts. Shop YPB by Abercrombie in store, online.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And in the app.

[TJ Watt]

Because your personal best is greater than anything.

[IBM Advertiser]

So your AI agents, they make the team that uses them more productive. Right. But if they aren't connected to other agents or your data or your existing workflows, how productive can they really make your teams? Any business can add AI agents. IBM connects your agents across your company to change how you do business. Let's create Smile to Business IBM.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The front of this has got a nice tactile.

[Jacob Wysocki]

There's a feel to it. I don't know if you might take some glitter away with you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, yeah.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Let's see.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Not yet.

[Jacob Wysocki]

That's almost the same ASMR for that. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Very nice. Okay, let's reach in here. Pulling out. Okay, now we've got a lot of tissue.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Okay, it's in that. Okay. It's in the baggie. I did sort of a classic small gift.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, my God, this is so small.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, I did sort of a classic small gift in a big bag.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's okay. And we've got the tissue. Okay. Now we can get rid of this. And also there's. Let's not forget a paper clip.

[Jacob Wysocki]

That's also part of it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

This is part of the gift. It's just a little something. What's in this bag?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I brought you two tabs of really good acid and a mushroom.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Incredible. Wow.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Do you grow your own mushrooms?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. I don't.

[Jacob Wysocki]

But I Got a nice mushroom guy. I just go to this kind of weird warehouse that changes locations throughout the city. What you get like a. He kind of like there's a guy and he like is like, we're on 16th street today. And you go and there's a warehouse and they pat you down and there's a bunch of people selling mushrooms and weed.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And does it feel illegal? How illegal is this drug trade? That's my question. Because it's so harmless.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I mean, if it was just weed, I would say that it's gray market, which is the term where it's like semi legal. Where I think they're probably growing it legally. They have the paperwork to grow legally.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They just have the business license.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. Or they're not selling it in a brick and mortar in a way that you normally would, or they're not following regulations of like packaging and testing and stuff like that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Sounds like selling milk.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, but it's. It's like selling raw milk.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Raw milk.

[Jacob Wysocki]

But as soon as you put like the mushrooms and stuff into the equation, I do think it becomes black market. Significantly more black market.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wild.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

How did you find out about this particular business?

[Jacob Wysocki]

So it's an interesting little set of situation. Like I stopped buying weed from clinics.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Because it's like bad. I think it's bad.

[Bridger Weiniger]

In what way you feel like it's bad weed?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I think it's bad weed. I think it's like too expensive. I think it's like overtaxed. It's like not really thinking about the growers. It's turning into this like big sort of like it's just another capitalistic Marlboro sort of space. And all the weed's kind of old and it all has to get sent off and it has to get tested and you can't smell it. And like back in the day you'd go to a clinic and you'd like open a jar and be like, this seems nice for me.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Almost like on the prairie. You would go to the apothecary or something.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I ran into some guy at a punk show who was like, he had like a little setup at the punk show.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

He had like a couple jars and he was like selling pre rolled joints and stuff like that. So I got his information and he sold me like weed and mushrooms for like a year. And then ominously, he came over one day and he was like, hey, I just want to let you know, like, I'm getting out of the game. Like I'm not going to be selling drugs anymore. Like, I'm going to go back to being an air conditioner tech. I think it's a better move for me.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's his passion.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. And I was like, okay. Yeah. Like, thanks for everything, man. Wow.

[Bridger Weiniger]

How polite.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Over the year, we had, like, you know, he'd come to the house and we'd have a chat and ask him about his life, and we had a nice little rapport, and I'd see him at a punk show every now and then. But then he did something really weird. Not weird. He did something interesting that he left behind, like, a piece of paper.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I love where everybody said that.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Had an Instagram handle on it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And he didn't say anything. And I, like, followed that handle. And it was to one of these accounts that works in this sort of, like, gray market space. And so then essentially what he did was like, connect me with his supplier.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

So he's like, I buy wholesale.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow.

[Jacob Wysocki]

So I buy a couple pounds.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right, Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And then I sell, you know, ounces or whatever to you and your people. So he basically, like, like, connected me to the wholesale.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What's the Breaking Bad guy's name?

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's not that big.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, it's not.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm not hanging out with two.

[Bridger Weiniger]

He has an underground lair.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. So. And then I've just, like, gotten to know these people that. It's essentially like a farmer's market. Okay. Where it pops up in these different locations and you can go and smell it like you used to. And there's a lot of different, like, independent growers and stuff like that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

How's their Instagram? They got good grid. Good stories.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Nothing on the grid.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Nothing on the grid.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Because if you, like, post stuff about weed, it gets taken down. Oh. And it's like one of those things where it's like, often the Instagram does go down and then they have to, like, start over with, like, xx. Give me a break. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And so you just go to random warehouses. When you first followed the Instagram, do you, like, how do you approach. Oh, I know this guy.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I just. I was. Yeah, I just was like, so and.

[IBM Advertiser]

So.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Like, the name of the guy or his, like, you know, nickname or whatever was like, connect. It was like, I know, blah, blah, blah. And they're like, great, here's the address. Tuesday this time.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And then just kind of like, you know, you go to a farmer's market a couple times, people start to remember you. You just kind of get into the system.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're part of the community.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm in the system. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And how often are you going?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Oh, I like to buy, like, I. I don't like to go a ton, so I kind of like, I'll kind of buy in bulk, right? Buy like an ounce or two and then, you know, maybe go once a month or whatever and get like my. My treats, my medicine.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And they've got weed, they have mushrooms, they have acid.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Anything else?

[Jacob Wysocki]

No, no, no.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

That feels like maybe, but, like, I'm not.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're not going into the other category?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, yeah. I feel like there's other people. If I had to. There's other people for that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, they're a little bit more on that, like, holistic, sort of like.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. These things are from.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Well, the acid is like the push, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

How is acid made in a lab? I mean, I don't know the science. Yeah. I've never really thought about lsd, where it comes from.

[Jacob Wysocki]

This is from. The acid's separate from the gray market. I got it from a different place.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, a different place.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't even know I got it from. I don't know if I could say where I got it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Is it a person or a place?

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's like. That's the thing. I'm not 100% sure. It's just like, there's a collective called the Sorcerer that I connect with on Telegram.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I love the Mystique.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's very. Yeah, it's interesting.

[Bridger Weiniger]

America needs to get back to eating at the dinner table and Mystique.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. A little bit of mystery's fun. And like. Like, it's kind of interesting to be like, what warehouse am I going to go get my weed at today? And I go to different parts of town and I like. I'm like, great, I'll get to try a taco shop, like, a little further away. Or like, oh, there's an interesting chili cheese dog stand next to it or whatever.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And are the people you're dealing with, do they feel like drug dealers or.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Are they just some do some feel like true. Like, cultivators. They feel like, you know, they're just like, I grow great weed.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I love.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And then there are people who are like. Like, I'm here to sell 60 pounds of weed, right. And make my money. And I'm kind of an intense. I have an intense brow.

[Bridger Weiniger]

How often are you doing mushrooms?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Not. I like, a micro dose.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, That's.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's Saturday night. We might go somewhere where there's, like a little bit of dancing and to just, like, eat a Little guy.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And, like, I can still have a conversation and I'm not gonna get too, like. Like, whoa.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

My legs. What are they?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Tears are running down my face.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm laughing.

[Jacob Wysocki]

But a big dose. I probably, like, at this point. I mean, I've done it, like, once you've done the big guys, you kind of. You kind of get it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Sure, sure.

[Jacob Wysocki]

There's like, you know, there's only so many lessons in life.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. There's only so many revelations you can have.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And not saying I'm opposed to getting anymore, but it's like, I've done it. I've done the, like, big trips. And I think it's more fun to just like, yeah, we're like, at a cabin, so everybody's gonna eat a little bit more than a micro. We're gonna do macro dose and feel a little giggly and like, our tummy will be a little rumbly.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But have you had any bad trips?

[Jacob Wysocki]

For sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What's the for sure? Are you open to talking about that?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Absolutely.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What's the worst one you've had?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Top of mind. Cause I was just kind of talking about this. There was like, anytime I've done mushrooms in, like, a large, large group, it's.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Always a little more challeng anxiety. I mean, there are more random factors.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yes. And there's, like, slightly different doses and, like, different needs and, like, different sort of desires and, like, comforts. And everybody's so empathetic in a way that it's like almost the politeness gets in its own way.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, sure.

[Jacob Wysocki]

After you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, after you. No, after you.

[Jacob Wysocki]

No, after you. But then nobody's doing anything. I remember we were like, at a cabin in Big Bear. It was like a group of my improv buddies, and it was one of the first trips that I had taken with this group of friends, and we all ate some mushrooms, and somebody was talking about that they had found a recording of what the earth sounded like from space.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, boy.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It was like a sonic.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, boy. This could go in any direction.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And we were all seated in front of this, like, big window, like, looking out at the view, seeing the pines and stuff. And music was playing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Sure.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And they, like, had just talked about this, like, earth sound.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And it was playing, and it was not what I expected it to be. It was more melodic.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And it turns out that it was not what was playing was not the earth sound. But I went like, wait, so this.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Is Kelly Clarkson or something?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I was like, wait, so this is Earth? And, like, I became Misunderstood, right in that moment. And they thought I was, like, talking about, like, oh, what you're looking at and that. Like, I think there was like, a perception that I was like, a little further along than everybody. And then they were like, yeah, man, this, like. And everybody was like, laughing, like, yeah, it's Earth, man. Haha. And I was like, trying to communicate, like, no, not what we're looking at. Like, somebody was talking about playing this music that was the same. And I couldn't articulate what was going on. And it was like everybody was just like, laughing and they're having a good chore. We're comedians. We want to make people laugh. But it was making me feel a little nuts, of course. And I couldn't communicate.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Mildly confused. And now you can't communicate or express yourself in the correct way.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And everybody's being like. And their faces are like. And so I like, kind of played it. I just, like, muted myself and I, like, got really inside myself and was like, it's fine. You were just misunderstood, and that's fine. And that kind of turned into like, an earworm that burrowed its way, like, through my. My psyche. And I had to go. And I just like. Like, I just left and I didn't tell anybody. And I, like, was gone for like, two and a half hours just like, tripping sack, like, around this weird kind of like, remote Big Bear area. And I'm just like, wandering through these neighborhoods, just being like, does anybody get me? And I remember, like, finding myself, like, in a yard with dogs and being like, this is where I need to be. This is good. And I'm like, in a yard, like somebody's property, like, hanging out with their dogs. And I'm like, going up to trees and hugging. And then, like, I get really sick and I, like, have to go puke, like, in some, like, person's like, you know, neighborhood menace. Yeah, man. And the worst of it is, like, I kind of came back and like, after two hours, like, the trip, the peaking of the trip had subsided and I was feeling a little more regular and I went back to the house and it was all locked. The whole house was locked, and it was quite quiet. And then there was like three Zachs at the party. And I just remember looking at my phone and trying to get to Zach, but it's like, all the way. So I'm going through everybody I've ever interacted with, and I'm just thinking about everybody that's ever been in my life.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Because I'm looking at everything they've Ever thought about you? Where are they now?

[Jacob Wysocki]

And then I can't figure it out and I'm overwhelmed and I can't get to Z. And I'm just like, I just gotta call one Zach. So then I'm like, banging on this door, trying to get in. But I scared everybody.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. Of course, now they're freaking out.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I like. And this is like, the type of person I am. Like, I'm kind of like comfort first. Total people pleaser.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Sure.

[Jacob Wysocki]

To send alarm to a group of people is like, maybe the darkest place I could accidentally find myself. And I harshed the vibes so much, and I'm just like, God, I'm here. And then, you know, everybody's like.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Everyone's like, who is out there? Yes.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And it was like, someone's come to kill us.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It was this, like, total push and pull of, like. And then finally somebody was like, oh, it's you. Where have you been? And I just was like, I kind of freaked out and I'm here now. And I think they were, like, all playing, like, hide and seek or something.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, no.

[Jacob Wysocki]

So, like, they were like, in the dark, like, hiding. And then it was like, how did.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Someone not die during the situation?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Three people passed away. And that was one of the tough ones. Cause it was like, I think I've had worse trips, but I'm on my own.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And I think it was that, like, interfacing of, like, newer friends and more intimate settings and kind of upsetting them where I was like, I carried it a lot. And what's funny is, I feel like if you asked anybody there, their version of the story was like, I said a funny joke and then I, like, knocked a little too hard on the door later.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Little did they know.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. I was just like.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Like, this is like a chemical reaction. This is like, what's going on inside an atom. I can't go further. I. I wasn't that great with. They're all bouncing against each other and freaking each other out.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow. The domino effect of that is pretty wild.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It was a wild time. And it, like, you know, it evened out, right. It balanced itself out. I regained into the house and everything was fine.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Was it one of those ones where it's like, I'm going to take a little time off of mushrooms and was like, well, everyone has a bad experience.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. I think I was probably, like, cool. I'm not gonna probably do that for six months to a year.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right? It was enough for the year.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, that was good. I was good on that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

At Least it wasn't boring.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It was electric.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I don't quite know the difference between mushrooms and acid, like, the experience.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Have you done either?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I've done mushrooms.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Cool.

[Bridger Weiniger]

So just once, though, and it was lovely. And it was like one of these things where I'm like, I don't know if I want to have one of these experiences.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Sure. Did you get, like, the wavy or was it just everything?

[Bridger Weiniger]

But I will say it was like, in 2014, when all of the Bill Cosby allegations were starting to come out, and right as it started, the boy.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You're so sad to lose your boy crying.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Why? Calling my senator? No, Right as it started to hit, we were in a cabin, and they have, like, books, you know? And I was wandering around the cabin, and truly, as it hit, I found Bill Cosby's book, this giant picture of his face. And it was one of the weirdest experiences looking at Bill Cosby being deeply, deeply tripping on mushrooms. Something I'll never forget.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

His face burned into my brain forever.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Hello?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. So that could have really gone in a bad direction.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, for sure. For sure. But it sounds kind of funny.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It was kind of. I think they. Funny. There's a silliness to it, but, yeah, that's all I've ever done. And it was wonderful, and it was wavy and very visual. I will say I ate some pineapple, and it felt like I was eating gold bars, that kind of thing.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the best way to kind of equate it? I'm going to attempt a new analogy. I feel like mushrooms is a bicycle and acid is an E bike.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

So one's bad, one's much, I think, much more intense. Or it's like. It's a very similar experience. Like, it's a psychedelic. It allows you to kind of, like, look at something, and it can kind of change shape. And I think they're both similar, but it's like acids twice the length.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I think it can get, like, far more intense visually. Far, far more intense visually. And it's, like, technically a little bit more of, like, an upper. And it can really, like. I think your noggin is, like, really turned on, and you're thinking very fast, and your brain's just like. Unless you're, like, outward, I think, because you can push it out. And then you're like, oh, whoa, the clouds are turning into faces of men.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And then that's really fun and nice.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Whereas mushrooms, it's a little more laid back, a little bit more I think.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It'S just not as, like, computeristic or like, it's like less Tron, more ferngully.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

There's just like a organicness and like a. Violent isn't the right word, but it is also the right word, you know, because there's a lot of people who, like, the acid's easier for them because there's no tummy. Like, it's not necessarily as emotional. I think it's a little more cerebral and, like, technical in a way where you're.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's got to do to your taxes, for example. This is the drug you would want to be on.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. I think you're having, like, profound thoughts, but I don't think they're. It's more like the world and, like, the systems and, like, patterns and like, whoa, the leaf. And like, you're. It's not like, I'm good.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm thankful for myself. I don't think it's as emotional.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting. Yeah, very interesting. And do you remember the first time you did either.

[Jacob Wysocki]

For sure. First time I tried acid was with, like, a really great friend, Roger of mine. And we were at a. Like, the. Maybe one of the most grimy parties in, like, Chino, California, that I could ever go to. It was just like such a fucking. Just one of those, like, sticky. It's like the house becomes sticky. And we took acid and it was bunk. And we just kind of like, waited for it. Us to get high. And it never really quite quite worked.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. You know, so you're just like, what? Why do people do this?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Why are we. Yeah. And then I didn't try it for years because I was like, oh, it's kind of an omen. Like, maybe I'm not supposed to do this. Yeah, right. First time I did mushrooms was at a. A music festival in Eastern Washington called Sasquatch.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And it was like. I was in my. I was like 23, and me and my guys fucking road tripped up and. And camped in, like, a cow field and saw all these bands over three days. And the first night, it was really cool. And we were just, like, enjoyed a full day of this festival. First time I'd ever been to a music festival. And we're walking back to camp and I was like, kind of walking alone. And there was just a dude walking the opposite way. So he was, like, kind of headed back towards the venue.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Sure.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And he just was like, mushrooms, 25 bucks. Mushrooms, 25 bucks.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Very peanuts. Hot peanuts.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Hot peanut. Hot peanut. And I had 25 bucks. That's like literally the amount of couch.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That I had, whoever has $25, come.

[Jacob Wysocki]

On, I must have broken that other 20 for a $15 chicken tender or something like that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, that makes sense. In a festival. Yes.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And I just. It was kind of a no thought situation where I was like, this guy's got him. I'm like, at this sort of like a place where you do.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That makes perfect sense.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And me and a buddy split the bag, we split an eighth of mushrooms and just like completely tripped Sack and we're just. It was one of those where I'm just like laid back, staring at the skies, seeing the grid and like seeing it open and being like, there's so much more. And I remember this is very silly and who knows, but I remember seeing like people like angels or like humanoid.

[Bridger Weiniger]

So you could write the book.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Maybe, maybe you didn't have to die.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You were seeing people and angels, but.

[Jacob Wysocki]

They were like seeing me being like, you're not supposed to see us.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It was Nancy Reagan's ghost. You aren't supposed to be on drugs right now.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You're supposed to be here. What are you doing? And that was really funny that all these people were like, beyond the veil, being like, whoa, hey, man, how are you seeing this man? And it was just so fun. Wow, it was so fun. And it was just like, like one of those, like, I'm perfectly young and like, I mean, I'm just experiencing life. And it was really, really cool and transformative. And I always thought mushrooms were going to be like, then I have to fucking get dreads. And like, then all I talk about is how everybody needs to like transform. And it was not that at all. It was just like, I did it, it was great.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It was like a little ride you get to go on and then you get to continue being yourself.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, I, you know, I was like, you guys should try mushrooms. It was pretty fun. But other, I wasn't like proselytizing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. That personality, yeah, that was a big fear of mine.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I think that was why I was very apprehensive for a long time. A lot of people, high school, early college, were experimenting with that stuff. And I was like, that kind of like, I don't want to be full hippie.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right? That I feel like that should be more of anti drug programs. Just like, you don't want to be annoying.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You don't want to be like a fucking hippie, right?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah, no one wants to be annoying. I think that would probably be more effective than being like, well, you're gonna have the Best time of your life. And then you'll want to keep doing it. Well, okay. Well, then I don't.

[Jacob Wysocki]

People aren't gonna think you're chill. That would immediately make me be like, oh, I won't do cocaine.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Never.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I won't be chill.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Did you see any music while you were tripping?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Who did you see?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Oh, man. I remember seeing Bon Iver.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Which was very, like, kind of boring to me.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm glad to hear this. I'm not a fan.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, it was kind of boring. And then what was really awesome was my friends loved Bon Iver, and I was like, this kind of sucks. I'm gonna go. And they're like, you can't leave. And I just was like, meet me here. We'll meet here at the end of the night. And I went and saw the lead singer of LCD Sound System did a DJ set.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, fun.

[Jacob Wysocki]

But he brought a live black choir.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Whoa.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And so it was like. Like this. He was playing, like, gospel music.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Like, EDM gospel music.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And it was awesome. That sounds in a tent. And it was, like, just, like, dancing. And it was, like, so much more fun.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, my God.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Than Bony Ve. Where everybody was just, like, on their blankets falling asleep. Yeah. Yeah. And this was just like. But it was also, like, had that sound. Church.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. Like a liveliness.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yes, yes. And like, that sort of like, you know, they're, like, commanding energy, and they're, like, harnessing energy in a way that was, like, so fun.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Were they in, like, choir robes?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, it was like they were on a coral riser, and he was, like, doing his, like, spinning. Doing the dj, and then they would, like, sing the hooks and stuff like that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

So cool.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Really cool.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Why is he still not doing that?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't know. And it was, like, one of those things where it's like, I didn't really know who LCD Sound System was at that point in time. It was just like, like, I don't want to missay. His name.

[Bridger Weiniger]

James Murphy.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. It was just, like, billed as, like, James Murphy DJ set. And I was like, who's this?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Who's. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Can you imagine?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow. That sounds delightful.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It was really special. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Do you go to a lot of music festivals?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Not anymore. Not anymore. I went. We, like, went to that one. Kind of got hooked. And then we went for, like, several years, you know, three or four years. And then it closed. It was, like, no longer.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What was this one called again?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Sasquatch.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, Sasquatch. Yeah, right, right. It.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Like, for whatever reason, they're like, we're not doing it anymore. And then I just kind of stopped and I never went to Coachella.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Coachella sounds too dusty.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Too dusty. There was a little one. It still kind of exists in la. I think it was like, fyf. Fuck yeah. Fest. And that would be cool. It'd be like, down at usc, like, kind of like. Like near the Coliseum, right within driving distance. Yeah, that was really fun. Like, stuff like that, I think is great, but I think as like, the older I get, it's like, do I want to stand around for nine hours, see, like, probably like two good acts in a span of 10 acts or.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Whatever, just under the beating sun?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, I'm more like. I go to gigs a lot. I still love going to punk music and going to underground shows and stuff. Like, that's what I like, where I'm like, like two hours, three hours even.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's almost too much for me. When I go see a favorite band, I'm like. By the encore, I'm essentially, like, holding the keys in my pocket, being like.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Okay, are you going to the opener?

[Bridger Weiniger]

If I like them, if I've heard of them, or if I really like the band and trust their taste.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. See, that's what I like, too. It's like, maybe they're going to put me on and I'll have a new friend for this experience.

[Bridger Weiniger]

If it's a band that I'm like, should just, you know, 70% liking, like, well, I don't need to waste my time with whatever crap band they've got in front of them. What was the last concert you saw?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I went and saw this really cool punk band, hardcore punk band out of Olympia, Washington, called Electric Chair.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And they're just like. The lead singer is just like one of these guys who's just, like, got so much energy and he's just such a showman. And the band's really good and tight and they, like, they're clearly rehearsed and tour all the time. And he's just, like, jumping around and doing somersaults and, like, slamming his body around. And it's fun. Really a great performance.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Where did this take place?

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's at this place called Five Star Bar in downtown la. That was a pretty iconic punk place in downtown LA for a while that closed. And then my buddy Dice, who's like a really big part of, like, kind of the DIY punk community in East LA and Los Angeles, she's run, like, a lot of really cool Underground venues, gray market venues. And he and his buddies were like, we're gonna reopen up five star bar to kind of have like a place for this community to exist. And he's kind of like, it's been a kind of his own undertaking and he's like revived it in a really cool, fun way. And it's cool to see like the city have like a more, you know, above ground to existing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's not somebody's basement or whatever.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. Or like, you know, a hole in the wall in skid row or whatever, you know, which is fun. And that's, you know, that's where you should go see a bunch of texture. But it's also nice to just be like, I can get a beer and like there's parking.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I feel like the closest I've ever come to that. And I feel like this is like the top is the Smell.

[Jacob Wysocki]

The Smell, yeah. Yeah. So it's right next to the Smell.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's literally like Kitty Cat corner to the Smell. It's like five star bars here. There's a parking lot, the Alleyway.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

They're like right there. The smell's awesome. That's an LA institution. Those guys are so great. They like have held it down for so many years. So many great bands come out of there. Oh, yeah, it's really cool.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I've been there in years, but I'm glad it's still open.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's one of those places that like is always gonna be the same. There's always gonna be young kids drinking beer in the Italian.

[Abercrombie Advertiser]

Right.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's nice that that's just kind of a thing, that it's part of nature.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yes. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You can't get rid of them.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's just a cycle. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It gives you a little bit of hope.

[Jacob Wysocki]

What was the last show that you saw?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I wish I had a memory.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I wish I had a memory.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I saw Destroyer, which is not punk. It's.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I feel like I've seen it on Spotify. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's this guy, Dan Behar and a band that are kind of, I would say not super easy to describe because every one of his albums is kind of its own thing.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Cool.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But a little, I don't know, even in the realm of like who I would compare it to historically with music. Maybe in the same, like a little bit Brian Eno or Glammy slightly. But indie rock too.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Cool.

[Bridger Weiniger]

A little New Ordery.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Sometimes.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm liking how this is shaping out.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's fantastic.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You Say Brian Eno. I'm in.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, my God.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Come on. Have you ever heard. You've ever listened to music at airports?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Of course. I used to listen to it when I would do my laundry in New York, sit at the Laundromat and just.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's so good. I have it on vinyl. It's like one of the. My favorite things to play.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Beautiful. Yeah, it's. Absolutely. And his four, like, I guess, rock or pop albums, whatever you would call them, where he's singing four of my favorite albums of all time.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Sure. He's great. So good. So amazing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

He's gone on to produce some real. I mean, produce bands that I'm not super into. That happens, but you gotta make a buck.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, you gotta.

[Bridger Weiniger]

He's a huge Bills. He's one of our great. I have. What's it called? Oblique Strategies. They made an app of it. Do you know. Are you familiar with this?

[Jacob Wysocki]

No. No, please.

[Bridger Weiniger]

He created this, like, card thing in the seventies with. We should. I'm gonna try it right now. But it has, like, basically these different directives. And you would pull a card from the deck. Like, I think when they would be at a standstill in the studio or whatever, they would draw a card, and then, like, creatively, they would follow that directive. Okay, so let's see. And I don't think Brian Ito created this app. Oh, this one says, take a break. That's not very interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Come on, let's see. They've been working hard enough.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, now this. Yeah, exactly. This one says, allow an easement.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Allow an easement.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And then in parentheses, an easement is the abandonment of a stricture. So, I mean, you just do whatever. You do whatever you want with that information.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And so it was designed to inspire music choices. I think initially, we're gonna jam. And this jam is inspired by the idea of adding an easement.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. And whatever that means to us. I think it's just like, Brian Eno. Yeah. Big brain, spark, something. But I'll look at that occasionally, and it does almost nothing for me.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You might need a drum kit in.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Your feet or something to make that. But I think it's for creatives. Maybe something you can at least distract yourself with for a minute. But Brian Eno. Oh, my God, I just adore.

[Jacob Wysocki]

That's so cool.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, I think. I mean, before I bore everyone to death with Brian Eno, I think we should play a game.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Let's play a game.

[Bridger Weiniger]

We're gonna play a game called Gift Master. But first, I need a number between 1 and 10. From you.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Do I tell you it?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. I have to do some light calculating to get our game pieces. So right now you can promote, recommend, do whatever you want.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Cool.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Be right back.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. Hi, guys. I'm just gonna promote good health and wellness. Drink your water. Take a deep breath with me. In through the nose and out through the mouth. Let's do one more of those, huh, guys? For health and wellness. Out through the mouth. Now think about something you want to accomplish today, this week, or maybe this year. Visualize it. I'm visualizing it with you. Send it to me and I'll send you mine. Sending it to you. Wow. Think about how real that is and I hope that happens for you. Wow.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What an excellent use of that time. Anyone listening to the podcast is now driven off the road.

[Jacob Wysocki]

If they hadn't already, might need to, like, drop back. A warning, A coziness warning.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Please be fully awake and alert. Okay? This is how we play gift master. I'm going to name three things, three gifts that you can give away. Items, experiences, whatever. I'm going to name three celebrities and you tell me which celebrity you would give which gift. And on.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Oh, fun.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Does that make perfect sense?

[Jacob Wysocki]

That makes perfect sense.

[Bridger Weiniger]

All right. The gifts you'll be giving today are, number one, a good look in the mirror. Number two, a short lived but beloved dramedy. That's a nice gift. And number three, an in home urinal. I've used somebody's in home urinal before and I prefer it.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's quite a flex.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's a flex, but it's in what direction?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Hey, can I just say, and this is gonna be polarizing. Just piss in your sink.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Just.

[Jacob Wysocki]

What's it for? Same thing. Yes, it's the same thing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's got a drain. If it's got a drain. Trying to think of something that can rhyme. Let it rain.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, there you go.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The celebrities are, number one, Malia Obama.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Up and coming entertainment, something. I think she was a writer or something. Stephen King.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Great.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And number three, Barbara Corcoran. Do you know who that is?

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't think I know.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Shark Tank.

[Jacob Wysocki]

She's kind of.

[Bridger Weiniger]

There you go. She's an entrepreneur, she's a real estate mogul and she's got a heart of gold, at least on the show.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Okay, so we've got the pisser.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The pisser.

[Jacob Wysocki]

We've got a good look in the mirror and remind me of the other one.

[Bridger Weiniger]

A short lived but beloved dramedy.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Short lived but beloved dramedy. I think we'll Give ba. I think Baba gets a good look in the mirror.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Cause what are you doing? What is this show? What is your life? Do you really need it? You got enough cash?

[Bridger Weiniger]

You've been doing Shark Tank for how many years?

[Jacob Wysocki]

70 years?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah, at least 70 years. She's about 130 years old.

[Jacob Wysocki]

A cackling witch at this point. It's dark magic keeping her afloat.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Get a hobby, Babwa.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Come on, fucking start taking up photography. Get a dark room. You can afford it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm sure you have the eye for it.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. I think I'd give her a long look in the mirror and she'd probably love it. I think there's some ego on her that she'd be like, look at that. Look how good it all is.

[Bridger Weiniger]

She's had some very good work done. Appreciate the work you've had done.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I think Steven can get the dramedy. I think he'd appreciate the story.

[Bridger Weiniger]

He's not getting a lot of dramedies on tv.

[Jacob Wysocki]

No.

[Bridger Weiniger]

He's not known for his soft comedy.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. He's not going subtle. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I wonder what the closest thing he has to a dramedy.

[Jacob Wysocki]

He just. I imagine him just. Yeah, there's a little bit of. Or thinner's like kind of cheeky. A little bit desperation, which is like Roy Buchanan, which I think is a pseudonym.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, he has another person writing books as well.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Oh, I'm sure it's a factory at this point.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, I'm saying, like, I think I believe he's writing them, but he can't stop that. He had to create a whole alter ego.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I could be so wrong and that's totally fine. And I don't think.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I think that that's true.

[Jacob Wysocki]

But yeah, desperation is like funny to me. There's like dark humor.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

The cop character's like very like. He's like a cheeky bastard. But I also just kind of love the idea of like Stephen King watching like the first season of sk.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Stephen King's Freaks and Geeks. I think that's nice. Kind of a late career turn for him.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, why not try and get into a different cash revenue stream?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. He needs it.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm sure he's got it right. If you can be bad, I think you could also be good. You're just kind of putting the mirror the other way.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Just flip in the mirror.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And then Malia gets whatever the last one is.

[Bridger Weiniger]

She gets the. In home urinal.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. And that's just sort of like she's.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Probably already got everything she could possibly ask for.

[Jacob Wysocki]

God. Yeah, I think maybe it'll give her something to like they can roast her about it and that'll humber.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And that's probably what she needs, right.

[Jacob Wysocki]

To be a president's daughter who. She does blast cigs, which is I think is.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, interesting. Gen Z. Yeah.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I think that's pretty cool.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Daddy's daughter. I think he stopped.

[Jacob Wysocki]

He did, but he was. He was blasting cigs for a while, which we love.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You know, you're the President of the United States. Smoke a cigarette, brother.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Come on.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The way this podcast has become pro smoking is so crazy. We're gonna have to come with a warning from this.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm in the pocket of big nicotine. I want you to know the surgeon.

[Bridger Weiniger]

General is coming for us.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. I got drove here in a Winston.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Company car in a giant cigarette shaped car like the wiener mobile.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's pretty cool. You can light it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The exhaust comes out the back.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, yeah. When you get fast stuff.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Why haven't they done that? Bad move on their part.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You know. I'll call. I'll call.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes. I'm gonna fucking call. You're in touch?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, I can get. I can get up the ladder for sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Get them on the phone. Get the cigarette machine going. Well, you played it perfectly.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Thank you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Very thoughtful.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I was nervous I was gonna fucking whiff it in the game.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, you did perfectly. And all these people are going to appreciate their gifts.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. And they're welcome.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I hope so. Now we need to answer a listener question. People are writing into. I said no gifts gmail.com or they're sending voice notes. The voice notes have to be 60 seconds long and in a quiet space. That makes sense, doesn't it listener? But today we're going to read one. Will you help me answer a question?

[Jacob Wysocki]

Absolutely.

[Bridger Weiniger]

All right. This is Dear Bridger and hopefully tolerable guest. Okay. I mean that's a little.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Okay. Well, you're sort of already creating a bias in how I'm going to interface with you and sort of the level of kindness and empathy. The whole like you can find your whole dream thing is fucking.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's out the window really.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Getting out of the window.

[Bridger Weiniger]

After returning home from our vacation two days ago, my partner and I discovered our apartment has been in invaded by fruit flies and ants. We had a new house dog sitter. So we're assuming, although we are certain they are the cause of this pest issue. Should I get in touch with them to ask about the situation or is it better to leave it alone? I'm worried they might be butthurt. Butt hurt. Okay. However, they are supposed to sit for us again next month, and I would like to prevent this from happening again.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Oh, my God.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Eagerly anticipating your incredibly uplifting and faultless recommendations. Okay. Now they're trying to win us over. Have a great day, Danny. P.S. hi, Annalise. I don't know who that's in reference to.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Fucking grow up.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Grow up is ultimately what everyone needs to do.

[Jacob Wysocki]

This is so lame. Fucking grow up.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're making good on your promise.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I'm pissed.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You are upset. You're upset to begin with.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I got a fucking problem. There's ants in my house. Grow up. Dude. That shit happens.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You need to.

[Jacob Wysocki]

They're fucking with my gig. That's crazy. Why do you have. I guess my question is why does this issue. That is, like, fairly common, and you probably left town with fucking fruit in a bowl.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. You probably left just crumbs all over the counter.

[Jacob Wysocki]

There's probably an old banana in a basket.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The floor needed to be swept.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. Why can't there just be ants in your house? Because nobody was around. Why does it have to be the fault of somebody?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Because this person hasn't looked with.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And they're going in. That's why they're constantly escaping to vacations. They're running away from.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Champagne problem.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's a champagne problem.

[Jacob Wysocki]

The guy watching my. While I'm having a good time. I'm sorry you had to have a little bit of reality in your life, man. Well.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And I feel like the solution here is just live with it. The person comes around, if it is their fault, they'll live with it as well. Ultimately, it will pass.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. Eight billion people. Find another guy. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Find another guy. Cut this person out of your life.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's really that hard. There's somebody who's. People need money. There's people looking to dogs.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. Throw a rock, you'll find somebody. Is that the phrase? And also get some of the. Have you ever heard of the magic ant shock?

[Jacob Wysocki]

They don't cross the line.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's unbelievable. I think it probably immediately gives you cancer.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Because I think it's illegal. But you use this stuff, the ants. I've never seen anything like this. Anything is effective in any category.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Really.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But it's hard to find.

[Jacob Wysocki]

So it's different than regular chalk.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's. As far as I know.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I think it says, like, magic ant chalk on there.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Whoa. Cause I know the chalk. I've heard of the chalk. Like, I've done the chalk line just.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And it worked. Yeah, just chalk. Interesting. So maybe the magic chalk people are just. It's branding.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I bet you it's just branding. Or it's like a type of chalk that maybe it's like a more. Like, more gets off.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, interesting.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I don't know. I'm pontificating it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. And it's just too much chalk, and that's why it becomes illegal. You can only have so much chalk.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It just starts getting weird.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, get some regular chalk and put it all over your house.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. I don't know, man. This guy pissed me off pretty quick. This person pissed me off pretty quick.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's D A N I. So, Danny, whoever you are.

[Jacob Wysocki]

And hey, thanks for listening to the pod. I hope you like it. Subscribe to the Patreon. There's a lot of great stuff over there.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And yeah, you owe Jacob.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah, I would fucking venmo me five bucks, dude. I'm helping you. I'm giving you. There's not a lot of people in the world that'll throw a hammer and just be like, hey, check your shit. I think we need a little bit more.

[Bridger Weiniger]

A dose of reality.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Come on.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The third thing America needs. We need to be eating as a family. Mystique and a dose of reality.

[Jacob Wysocki]

A little bit of slap of the face of what's really going on.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's how we turn things around.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It's crazy to write an email to a podcast about ants. I don't want to be like, I think I am slightly going into actually being a little rude territory. But the more I zoom out, it's like, what's going on, man?

[Bridger Weiniger]

They're having a big problem.

[Jacob Wysocki]

You not have a friend to call?

[Bridger Weiniger]

They have a friend in me.

[Jacob Wysocki]

That's right.

[IBM Advertiser]

That's right.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They expected me to be on their side this time, and unfortunately, they were wrong.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Serious apologies, Danny.

[Bridger Weiniger]

He's not sorry.

[Jacob Wysocki]

No, but I can't lose a fan.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You can't take it back. Take it back quickly. This is bad for your career, Jacob.

[Jacob Wysocki]

This is gonna ruin me. I'm gonna get buried in here's got.

[Bridger Weiniger]

To think about the bottom line. He's sorry. He doesn't want to end up at delightful Dinners.

[Jacob Wysocki]

No, I can't go back.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You can't go back to delightful Dinners?

[Jacob Wysocki]

My hands are too soft now. I don't think they'd handle it well.

[Bridger Weiniger]

We answered the question perfectly.

[Jacob Wysocki]

I think so.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I have my drugs.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. I hope you enjoy it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, of course.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah. At least they find it. I hope they find a good home.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Of course.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Don't take both tabs of acid at once.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right before I drive home. Yeah, that'll be the rest of my day.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Please don't take the 134. Okay. I won't take both at the same time. Fine.

[Jacob Wysocki]

Split it with a friend. Have an experience.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I've had such a nice time with you.

[Jacob Wysocki]

This is a really fun time. Thank you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Thank you for being here. Of course, listener. The podcast is over. Of course you know that you're denying it. You're scratching, you're clawing, trying to keep.

[Jacob Wysocki]

It going, sort of wincing at the bar, coming to a close there on.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Their iPhone, and there's really no nothing you can do. We've all been speeding towards a conclusion and here we are. It's over. I love you. Goodbye. I said no Gifts is an exactly right production.

[Alec Murdoch]

When I invited you here, I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest in my home, you guessed to come to me empty handed. I said no. Guess your presence is present enough and I already had too much stuff. So how do you dare disobey me?

[Jacob Wysocki]

This is Alec Murdoch. I need police and an ambulance immediately.
