Summary

Summary of Episode: Jordan Myrick & Kendahl Landreth Disobey Bridger

Introduction and Technical Glitches The episode opens with host Bridger Weiniger addressing minor technical difficulties that delayed the recording. [02:27] Bridger humorously compares the microphone issues to announcing a monster truck show, setting a light-hearted tone for the episode.

Food Talk: Tortillas, Cheese, and Fast Food Follies Bridger and his guests, Jordan Myrick and Kendahl Landreth, delve into their culinary preferences. They discuss the challenges of making homemade tortillas, with Bridger lamenting the difficulty:

"[04:21] Bridger: You can't have a good tortilla at home because you'll just be gobbling them up."

Kendall shares her frustration with store-bought options, emphasizing her preference for fiber tortillas to "just get by." The conversation shifts to favorite cheeses, with Bridger championing Babybel as "one of God's most perfect creations."

Salt Lake City Trip and Real Housewives Experiences The trio reminisces about their recent trip to Salt Lake City, attending events related to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. [08:32] Kendall highlights their adventures at high tea and themed weekends:

"[08:38] Jordan: We thought it was going to be like kind of. We were like, oh, no, we shouldn't have agreed to this because we're going to get there for one second, we're going to be like, haha, this is funny. And then it's going to be over."

They critique the show's dynamics, particularly focusing on characters like Monica and Mary, who bring drama and humor to the series.

Mormon Church and LGBTQ+ Discussions A significant portion of the conversation centers on the Mormon Church's evolving stance on LGBTQ+ issues. Bridger, an ex-Mormon, expresses hope for change:

"[14:43] Bridger: They do change their minds a lot on a lot of things."

Kendall and Jordan discuss the potential for the church to become more inclusive as younger generations leave and push for acceptance. They also touch upon the church's branding efforts, noting the shift from "Mormon" to "LDS" and its implications.

Bridger's Personal Story: Accusation of Burglary Bridger shares a personal anecdote about being wrongfully accused of burglary while working at a bakery-café chain in Utah. [26:09] He recounts:

"[27:07] Bridger: During the investigation, they were asking all these questions like, where were you this night? Blah, blah, blah."

Despite his innocence, Bridger was removed from his position, showcasing the challenges of dealing with false accusations and administrative errors.

Relationship and Maintaining Content The discussion shifts to maintaining personal relationships while managing podcast commitments. Bridger expresses frustration when guests bring gifts, breaking the podcast's primary rule of "No Gifts!" [37:03]

"[37:21] Bridger: Maybe he's not a real listener."

Jordan and Kendall emphasize their mutual support and the importance of keeping their own projects, like Jordan's TV show Gastronauts and Kendall's podcast Happy Wife, Happy Life, thriving.

Gift or a Curse Game The trio engages in the podcast's signature game, "Gift or a Curse," answering listener-submitted questions. [77:53] They evaluate humorous scenarios, such as:

1. Saying "That's Funny" Without Laughing – Kendall and Jordan agree it's a curse, linking it to their comedic backgrounds.
2. Speed Limit Signs at Unusual Speeds – Both label this as a curse, highlighting the confusion and absurdity of encountering extremely low-speed limits.
3. Couples Holding Hands Across the Table at Restaurants – Declared a gift, Bridger defends the affectionate gesture, while Kendall and Jordan playfully critique it as a potential sign of relationship issues.

Closing and Promotions of Personal Projects As the episode wraps up, Bridger encourages listeners to follow their personal projects and leave reviews:

"[77:14] Jordan: Just make sure you go wherever you're listening and you follow the podcast on whatever program you're listening through."

Kendall and Jordan promote their respective podcasts and TV shows, inviting Bridger's audience to engage with their content on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.

[Bridger Weiniger]

When I invited you.

[Jordan Myrick]

Here.

[Kendall Landreth]

I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest in my home, you got to come to me empty handed. I said no guils.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Your presence is presence enough.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I already had too much stuff, so how do you dare disobey me?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Welcome to I said no Gift. I'm Bridger Weiniger. We're here in the studio. We've been here for quite a while actually, because there was some. There was some microphone issues that we were dealing with that made me feel like I was announcing a monster truck show. But what's happening? I came by the studio to get my Babybel cheese and I figured why not just do an episode while I'm here having a Babybel cheese? Are people eating these? I think this is one of God's most perfect creations, maybe his only perfect creation, the Babybel cheese. And if you don't have those in your fridge, you're making a huge mistake. They're just there for a snack. And it's a craft. I love these things, but, you know, I've used up a ton of our guests time just figuring out technical issues. So I think we should get into the podcast and I adore today's guests already. Everybody loves them. It's Jordan Myrick and Kendall Landreth. Kendall, Jordan.

[Jordan Myrick]

Hello.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Welcome to. I said no gifts.

[Jordan Myrick]

Thanks for having us. We're so excited.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm so excited to have you here and to have just kept you here off podcast.

[Kendall Landreth]

But, you know, it's sad. Is that. But that's what we want. Like, we're so excited to get out of the house.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, we love to connect too. We love to connect. We love to chat.

[Kendall Landreth]

We love to connect. It's like when you were like, so sorry about the technical difficulties. I was like, I'm having the time of my life.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, we would have come earlier.

[Kendall Landreth]

I wish we were here longer and I wish there could be technical difficulties after. Also on the baby bell cheese thing. Ooh, have you had laughing cow?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I've never had a. Oh, the laughing cow is a little square, little triangle.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, little triangle.

[Jordan Myrick]

They're pyramid.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I like those things.

[Kendall Landreth]

I put that on a tortilla, spread it around, fold it. Oh, it's good.

[Jordan Myrick]

She's a culinary genius. She's a culinary genius. You wouldn't believe the kind of things happening in our house when she gets in the kitchen.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What kind of tortillas are you using?

[Kendall Landreth]

You don't want to know.

[Jordan Myrick]

Fiber, like carb balance?

[Kendall Landreth]

Flaxseed.

[Jordan Myrick]

Flaxseed it is.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, actually. But now, I mean, that sounds better. I'm very particular about tortillas and it's a big. It's a bigger issue and we could get into it if you want to, but store bought tortillas are almost always horrible. Just like regular flour tortillas at the store are bad. They taste like wax or garbage. So this whole wheat thing seems like at least has a texture that's on purpose.

[Kendall Landreth]

Sure. Yeah. There's something intentional there. I also think getting older is just kind of forgetting what tastes good. You know where I'm like, I'll be like, oh, you gotta try this. It's really good. And someone's like, oh, is it really good? And I'm always like, well, no, I also think it scratches that itch. You know what I mean?

[Jordan Myrick]

Right? Yes. I also think there are times when you're like, trying to have something really good, and then there are times when you're trying to just get by and I think that we now buy these fiber tortillas just to get by.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Just to get by.

[Jordan Myrick]

But I know what a good tortilla tastes like, and when I want that, I'll have that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You know, you can't have a good tortilla at home because you'll just be gobbling them up.

[Jordan Myrick]

Absolutely. I'd have to go to the hospital.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And you would have to be hospitalized.

[Jordan Myrick]

I would die.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's also hard to have a good tortilla at home because they need to be made within the hour, I would say. So you're not gonna have that in the fridge? It's an impossible thing to have at home.

[Kendall Landreth]

No.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Have you tried making them at home before?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's more difficult than you would expect. A flour tortilla.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, flour's much harder than corn, but even corn, it's like, you know, you see a woman at a restaurant making them in some kind of window, and she's just making them with the effortlessness that I've never had in my life. She's a magician in relation to anything. Yes. And you try to make them at home, and it's not like that. They're always too thick. Even if you have a tortilla press.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes. And with a flour, you can't use.

[Jordan Myrick]

The tortilla breast because it's too small.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well. And it'll stick.

[Jordan Myrick]

I've never even thought about that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I tried that. I guess you can do it with wax paper, but that's not how they're actually made. You're supposed. With a flower, when you're supposed to roll it into a ball and then just roll it out. But I don't have kind of either of those skills. So then they end up being kind of just like shapes of different states or something.

[Jordan Myrick]

You know, same thing. Have you ever tried to make pita?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, forget it. Pita's another thing that. I mean, when made. Well, it's the best thing in the world when bought at Albertsons. A bad product. It's like a different food altogether, right?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. Because when you buy it at the store, a lot of times they're like a pita pocket.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Pita. Oh, the pita pocket. That's a tough one.

[Jordan Myrick]

Right. And not like a beautiful pita that you get at, like, an Armenian restaurant.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Pita pocket is almost not pita. Right. It's like a sin food product. I would consider it.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's like something made to go into a lunchable. It's not like, made for. For adults, but I'm buying them. But it's not supposed to be for me.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And it's kind of. It's more. Is it hard in order to keep the shape of the almost purse. Like, it's like a purse.

[Jordan Myrick]

It really is, though.

[Kendall Landreth]

Like a purse. Like you could. They're sturdy.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They're dry as hell.

[Kendall Landreth]

They're very dry.

[Jordan Myrick]

And I hate dry.

[Kendall Landreth]

And you know what's sick? I can't tell the difference between any of these. This is the problem. This is why I'm not good at cooking. Because you hand me a homemade tortilla and a carb balance, whatever brand, and I have. No. It tastes so good.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, give yourself some credit.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, she really doesn't. I love her. Other than her taste in lovers, she has horrible taste.

[Kendall Landreth]

I have easy taste. I'm just like, whatever it is, all over it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It doesn't matter to you.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I have such a bad memory that I'm like, Once I've eaten something, I don't even remember what I. I don't remember what it tasted like. So why spend my time? Why waste it?

[Jordan Myrick]

She's so positive, too. It's like that kind of stuff doesn't matter to her. It's. But she, like, she loves when something's good, but she also likes when something's not good. It's really incredible either way.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's an experience. Yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

And I love it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's a good attitude.

[Jordan Myrick]

She's got an incredible attitude.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I have a very poor memory except for when it comes to food. And then it's like it's burned into my brain if something was good or bad. Like, I will not forget a bad or good thing.

[Jordan Myrick]

What's the worst thing you've eaten recently?

[Bridger Weiniger]

The worst thing I've eaten recently. Now that I say this, I'm like, oh, I have.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, sorry. We're going to cut that out.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Like, when I go to a restaurant, I can almost eat the entire thing every time. And when I can't finish it, that's a horrible sign for the food. And unfortunately, it's not coming tomorrow.

[Jordan Myrick]

Text me later.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'll text you later.

[Kendall Landreth]

We have in. When we were in London last year, we went to get high tea.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Ever heard of it? Of course. Of course.

[Kendall Landreth]

It was incredible. Where did you do it every day? What was it called? It was amazing.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think it's called, like, the Jubilee Diamond Room at. Oh, and Fortnum and Mason.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's the one I've done too. We loved it. We had the time of our lives. And it was like, one of the less recommended ones. All the Other ones were sold out.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I hate to hear this. I'm trash.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, I just think it's the best.

[Kendall Landreth]

One.

[Jordan Myrick]

We had a great time. The other, we went kind of late.

[Kendall Landreth]

Noticed I got a Christmas ornament.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, of course you got it when you're in a department store.

[Jordan Myrick]

We had an unbelievable time, and the food was incredible. We did have this one thing that was like, what felt like an orb of pate that almost had what seemed like fondant over it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Two things that are on my hard to eat list.

[Jordan Myrick]

Absolutely.

[Kendall Landreth]

And that was one thing for me. It really did. Because that for. I am a finisher. I can eat anything. I just like to eat. I don't care what it is, what it tastes like. That is one of the first things I've been like, I cannot eat this.

[Jordan Myrick]

You were not happy because it.

[Kendall Landreth]

I said, what is. What type of chocolate is this? Jordan said, that's duck. I said, huh, Horrible.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sorry, baby.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, on the one thing that I can always go back to that I was not able to finish. And of course I wasn't. This was years ago. Let's just. Let's just say this.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I was having a chicken parm sandwich at Burger King.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, there's nothing wrong with that.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

Nothing wrong with that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes, there certainly is, because I got a third of the way through the sandwich and said, dinner's over. This is being thrown out.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't think. That's not what you get at Burger King.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, no, you don't.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's not what you get at Burger King. Chicken parm. You would, but it'll get a chicken parm.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'd get anything. A Burger King.

[Jordan Myrick]

She would do anything. She's a wild woman.

[Kendall Landreth]

I love Burger King. I will say their chicken fries have never been a hit for me.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

It feels like they're trying to prank you where there's, like, no chicken in it, and they just do the breading, and then it's hollow and they're like, no, that's chicken. That's what it always tastes like to me.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. But that being said, we love the impossible Burger.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, okay. And impossible. This is a different thing that feels like it is kind of coming from outside of the business.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's in partnership with. Right?

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I think with the impossible company, probably. I feel like an impossible burger almost anywhere is pretty good.

[Kendall Landreth]

Pretty good.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. But also, they have Coke ice, which is one of my favorite beverages that you can possibly consume. And then also, Burger King has the best classic, so not seasoned. I'm not talking about Popeyes or anything like that. Just a classic French fry. Burger Kings are the best.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I don't know where they currently stand with French fries because they've had an identity crisis. Like, through the late 90s, 2000s, there was like a new Burger King French fry, I would say every three weeks.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure, they're perfect now. They're crispy on the outside. They're mashed potatoey on the inside. They're delicious.

[Kendall Landreth]

I like them. But I'm also a. I'm kind of a freak for bad fries. You know what I mean? Like, I want a soggy long fry. I want a fry I could wrap a present in. Like, wrap it around like a bow.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's a ribbon.

[Kendall Landreth]

That's what I want. Like a fry that looks like it's already been sucked on is what I like.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What's wrong with you? I don't know.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm telling you, that's what I like. It's so positive. I don't know.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, I don't. But even Burger King's like, those objectively good fries. I'm like, I kind of wish it was wetter.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow. So where are you getting a wet fry?

[Kendall Landreth]

Mickey D's.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Mickey D's?

[Kendall Landreth]

Don't make me say McDonald's on a podcast.

[Jordan Myrick]

And we're not going to any of those places when you're supposed to boycott them. To be clear, we're only going when things aren't being boycotted.

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't go, but I dream. It's like, I don't go to Chick Fil a because I'm gay, but when people are like, well, they're not really that good, I'm like, wake up.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, I will push back on this.

[Kendall Landreth]

I haven't been in eight years. I miss it every day.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, this is my. This is a dirty, dirty little secret. I will eat Chick Fil a if. If I'm on a layover.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, if you're what?

[Bridger Weiniger]

A layover at an airport.

[Jordan Myrick]

At an airport, sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's the only time. And I still feel bad about it. But I think, look, if we're trapped in the airport, right, Most of the food here is gonna be truly revolting.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. God's eyes can't see you there.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, no.

[Jordan Myrick]

So you're supposed to eat in the Kentucky International Airport. You think they have a gay friendly restaurant there?

[Bridger Weiniger]

One in Dallas Fort Worth.

[Jordan Myrick]

You must.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I've got to go to the Chick Fil A. And every time I eat it, I'm like, this is pretty good. I guess for Airport food. But I'm not gonna. In the real world. Absolutely not. I will find a fried chicken sandwich elsewhere and it'll be better. Almost. Nine times out of ten.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, and Chick Fil? A too, they put on quite a show. And I don't like to be manipulated, but whenever I've been in a Chick Fil? A, which I don't go anymore, but years and years ago, I would go when I was a teenager, they always have some guy working the cashier that's like, hey, girl, it's the gayest guy.

[Jordan Myrick]

You'Ve ever met in your entire life.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What? Except for he has a wife and four kids at age 19.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure, sure, sure.

[Kendall Landreth]

It is like the gayest place I've ever been in. I'm like, this is so manipulative and weird.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay. Also, this tracks to what we were talking about earlier. But speaking of gayest place we've ever been.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I can't wait to get into this.

[Jordan Myrick]

You said you're from near Salt Lake City, Utah. Salt Lake City is the gay, gayest place we've ever been in our entire lives. Kendall and I got recognized everywhere we went, and we are not famous at all.

[Kendall Landreth]

I feel like Beyonce. I literally walked in. Every store we walked into, there was a person with like a short blue haircut being like, no way. No way.

[Jordan Myrick]

Kendall. Jordan knows us by name. What are you doing here? Why are you outside of la? We're like, whoa, they know so much.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're a drop of water in the desert.

[Jordan Myrick]

Drink up, baby.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Drink it.

[Jordan Myrick]

I loved it. We had a blast. We went to a drag show, a silent disco. We were there for a Real Housewives of Salt Lake City birthday party themed weekend for the producer of our podcast, Blake.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

We thought it was going to be like kind of. We were like, oh, no, we shouldn't have agreed to this because we're going to get there for one second, we're going to be like, haha, this is funny. And then it's going to be over. And we're still going to be in Salt Lake City for three more days. We have the time of our lives.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, Utah is such an onion to talk about because the layers are so complicated and strange and it every day seems to just be trying its hardest to self destruct with this new, like, not letting pride flags be in schools. It's really like, in competition to become a more a boring version of Florida.

[Jordan Myrick]

But I think give it three more years. Mormons are gonna be like, gay people are allowed. They need. They already are. They need Us. Did you hear what's happening?

[Kendall Landreth]

Are you ex Mormon?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm ex Mormon, yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

They're dropping new undergarments.

[Jordan Myrick]

You heard? What have you heard? New.

[Kendall Landreth]

More.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, like, easy to wear.

[Jordan Myrick]

A new style of easier to wear. Less conservative undergarments are being dropped.

[Kendall Landreth]

Honey. That people are hairy underwear. That's not an under. Jesus can't drop new merch. What is this?

[Jordan Myrick]

So I'm telling you, in three years, they're going to be like, dykes get in here.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, it's because people under 50 are. Yeah, I would say under 50 at this point are rapidly leaving because they're like, 100%. There are so many things that I don't agree with here, and they're like, they're making friends and they're being on. On the Internet for more than one minute, and they're like, oh, things are not adding up. And why is this thing have so many bad feelings about people. So many people at this point. And I have to be careful even how I speak about the Mormon Church because I have a lot of loved ones in it. Sure, there's so many great people within it, but it's truly, I think, a $200 billion corporation, of course, and literally that much money. And they're picking on people that have nothing to do with any. Any of it. It's just like, leave us alone.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, but they're going to change their minds. I'm telling they do. There are the Catholic Church. They've been around too long. We have to. They got to get out of here. They've been around too long. They're not changing at all. They're just staying. But Mormons, if enough people leave, they'll be like, you know what? Actually, gay people, trans people, you're allowed. We'll give you each $1,000 to, like, they will do anything to get people in. And I'm like, we just got to give them time.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They do change their minds a lot on a lot of things. And they also have, like, a lot of PR issues where, you know, they were known as Mormons. But then they've, like, kind of made this recent push to be like, that's not. Don't call us that.

[Kendall Landreth]

They don't like that. Right.

[Jordan Myrick]

They act like it's a slur. I'm like, relax.

[Bridger Weiniger]

People don't have that. First of all, if you want people to think good things about you, change your behavior.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Second of all, I mean, first, it's like they're on the run or something like witness protection type style. We still like, even if you change your name to lds or everyone knows what that is, essentially, Mormon is a softer word anyway. It's an easier, fun thing to say. Mormon, yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Also, they should stick with it. Cause it sounds less culty than lds.

[Bridger Weiniger]

LDS sounds like a pill or, you know, something that, like, sounds like something you chant.

[Kendall Landreth]

I can feel it being chanted. Yeah. I'm very susceptible to stuff. Like, I'm telling you, if I wasn't with Jordan, I'd probably be in the LDS Church 100%. I see these hot ladies, I say, where do I sign up?

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're dealing with a former missionary, so watch out. Watch out. I might try to get you.

[Jordan Myrick]

Where did you go?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I was in East Malaysia, in Singapore.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay. Did they teach you to speak the language before they sent you?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Simply didn't.

[Kendall Landreth]

Really?

[Jordan Myrick]

That surprises me. And the reason why we bring this up is because. So, Colin, my best friend, who is a fan of this podcast. So. Hi, Colin.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Hi, Colin.

[Jordan Myrick]

His partner is from Taiwan and moved here a couple years ago from Taiwan. And he's like, the people that speak the best Mandarin of all people are white Mormon missionaries.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Of course. Totally.

[Jordan Myrick]

Because they really like. So he will watch these vlogs of white people coming to Taiwan, trying all the restaurants to find out what restaurants he wants to go to, because he's like, they do better Mandarin than most.

[Kendall Landreth]

Asian people, which is insane. That's the. Such a hard language. Tonal language.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. And they do it in two years. It's really impressive. But the part of the world I was in had so many different languages and dialects that, sure, in theory, English was the one thing that everyone spoke.

[Jordan Myrick]

I see.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But especially when you get into, like, rural Malaysia, it's like, people don't really speak English. So it becomes this bizarre. I ended up leaving early because it was a whole. I was, like, not sold on the idea to begin with. And then you're on a bike for eight hours a day. You're like, maybe I should abide things.

[Jordan Myrick]

Over wearing that whole outfit in the heat.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, in Malaysia, you wear a slightly different outfit because it's actually illegal to be a missionary in Malaysia.

[Jordan Myrick]

So you could have gone to jail.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I could. Right before getting there, two missionaries had been in jail. And so, like, we would. Instead of, you know, they wear a white shirt and a tie and a name tag, we would wear dress pants in a colored shirt.

[Jordan Myrick]

Classic Malaysian garb.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Really throw people off to fit in.

[Jordan Myrick]

With the crowd, you know, I'm just blending, for sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Literally, everywhere I went, people were yelling, Harry Potter. At me. So it's. I don't think I'm as deep cover.

[Jordan Myrick]

Funny. Good on the Malaysian people.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's really funny, but okay. You run Salt Lake. You for the Housewives party. What was the general theme of it? Did you meet any of the Housewives? No.

[Jordan Myrick]

We tried. We looked around. We went to all the places from the show. So we went to Meredith Marks jewelry.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Jewelry store. Oh, my God.

[Jordan Myrick]

Underwhelming. We went to Heather Gay's, like, med spa.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes. Which location did you go? I've been to both.

[Kendall Landreth]

The one next to the Dutch Bros. Oh, okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The one in the real parking lot.

[Jordan Myrick]

You feel the parking lot where the arrest happened?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

Where the arrest happened.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

So we walked in, and without saying anything, the woman at the front desk goes, the housewives merch is over there. I was like, okay. She either thinks we're hot enough that we don't need work or we look poor.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Why not both? Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wishful thinking.

[Kendall Landreth]

I was so close. And this is. I'm so lucky to have you, Jordan, Because Jordan really grounds me. I would have. I know myself. I would have gotten $8,000 worth of work done just because that pissed me off so much. I was like, how do you know I'm not here for.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. I'm getting it all.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

And then we went to Walters, Austria.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, you went to Walters and Walter passed away.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I have a video of him on my phone, of course, because his famous scene where he's, like, grinding pepper something real fast.

[Jordan Myrick]

And I'll tell you what, it was incredible.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Was it really?

[Jordan Myrick]

It was delicious. We got a tableside Caesar that had, like. We had this, like, chicken piccata that had huge caper berries on it. It was delicious. We loved it. We went to the, like, Speak Easy.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Brunch place across the street from the.

[Jordan Myrick]

Mall where Whitney did the pole dance.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

In season one, we went. Well, also, we went to Thirst.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, wait, what's Thirst?

[Jordan Myrick]

It's one of the soda places. Because we're soda gals.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. I'm familiar with Swig.

[Jordan Myrick]

So Thirst specifically, like, follows us and has been corners of our comedy for a long time. So you'll never forget Dead in a Swig. I'm Thirst all the way, honey. We have the merch.

[Kendall Landreth]

We wear it all the way.

[Jordan Myrick]

We wear the merch. We love them.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What does Thirst do differently?

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't know. They're all exactly the same. Thirst.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

Swig and all. I know that the people that own Thirst, like gay people. I don't know about Swig. This is not me calling Swig out. It's me calling Swig in. Because I don't know where they stand on this. Speak out. But Thirst, they were just like, we love you guys. You guys are so funny. Do you want to come in and do the whole thing? And we were like, yeah. And they brought us behind the counter. We were making all of our own sodas. And then they gave us beignets.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And like, oh, they have beignets.

[Jordan Myrick]

Unbelievable. Beignets, too.

[Kendall Landreth]

Jordan is from New Orleans.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. Oh, yeah. And so you would know.

[Kendall Landreth]

You said it was, like, truly up to par with New Orleans. Beignet.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's the best beignet I've had outside of New Orleans. Cause a lot of times people be like, it's a beignet, but it's a donut, you know?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right, right.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's a doughnut. It's not this. These are really beignets. And we made all that. We made hundreds of sodas. And we had literally the best time of our lives. I think about going back to Salt Lake City just to go back to Thirst.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's so good.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I think we've got to. We've got to go on a Thirst tour.

[Jordan Myrick]

I would love Thirst.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I haven't heard of. Well, I. I've only heard of you as of 30 seconds ago, but I haven't heard a word from you. I'll be back to Salt Lake soon. Thirst.

[Jordan Myrick]

Come on. Fly the three of us out.

[Kendall Landreth]

Of our lives.

[Jordan Myrick]

I know. They were on Real Housewives of Mormon. Real Housewives. Real lives. Real lives of Mormon wives. Real eyes. Real.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Get it right.

[Jordan Myrick]

Real lives. Yes, they were on that. They, like, cater one of the. With baby showers.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes. And they did it with a canned soda, which I have thoughts on.

[Jordan Myrick]

Of course.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I would give me a fountain drink any day of the week.

[Jordan Myrick]

That carbonation turned away and chilled.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I've just learned that McDonald's is no longer letting you fill up your own drink in the store.

[Jordan Myrick]

Close them down.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Corporation should just shut down at this.

[Jordan Myrick]

What is your problem?

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't think of myself as someone who'd ever complained. A service worker. And I don't. But the closest I come is when I get a flat soda. Oh, I'm about to. You turn it around and scream at whoever. I have to.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well. Cause the soda's also 3.49 now.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's as much as a coffee.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's insane. And Jordan wrote. You wrote into a corporate one time we went to Del Taco, and I love Del Taco. I'm Writing down.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And you should be able to trust.

[Jordan Myrick]

Del Taco and we should. And we love them. Long time supporters.

[Kendall Landreth]

I love them. I said. And Jordan was like, you gotta, something's gotta change, you guys. Because I used to come here for. You know who has good carbonation? Costco. And it's hit or it's hard to.

[Jordan Myrick]

But they're a Pepsi company. They're Pepsi.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, they're changing.

[Jordan Myrick]

Really?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I just read in the news Coke is on its way to Costco.

[Jordan Myrick]

Thank God someone's reading the news.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I like to think of myself as up to date.

[Jordan Myrick]

I love that. I just let a 13 year old tell me what's going on on TikTok. Yeah, yeah. I emailed Del Taco and because I was like, every time I go there, it's bad. And also, you know, people are yelling at these nice people that work there. The people that work at the Del Taco near us are the nicest people.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

And so I just emailed Del Taco corporate and I was like, hey, you guys, just a heads up. The people that work at this location are so nice. They do an incredible job. The food is always delicious. You're doing them dirty by having this bad soda machine. Just get them a new soda machine. They had.

[Kendall Landreth]

This is insane.

[Jordan Myrick]

The manager of that location. Call me on the phone and apologize to me. I said, you said, nancy, we don't.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wanna speak with you.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm so, so sorry. This is psychotic. I wanted them to just fix the machine and send me one coupon. The fact that they're having you call me is disgusting and I'm so sorry. And then I just apologized to her profusely. And then I saw her like two days later and the draft throw was fine.

[Kendall Landreth]

And how was your soda?

[Jordan Myrick]

Flat, Flat, Flat.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's an easy fix.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

As somebody who's worked in a place where we had to fix the soda machine. You just change the CO2 machines. We're out of juice.

[Kendall Landreth]

It also makes me go, they're not being. Someone's not being nice. Because that means that these employees are not allowed to have soda whenever they want.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And they should.

[Jordan Myrick]

And they should be Free shift drinks.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes.

[Jordan Myrick]

I work at a restaurant.

[Kendall Landreth]

I was getting Diet Coke all like water. And I would be the first person to go, it's flat, you guys. We gotta change it out. I didn't know how to change it out. We gotta change it out. They don't even know what's going on. They're probably not allowed. They probably got cameras on em. Not allowed to Drink soda.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah, that's a real good point. Because when I was working at this one place for a long time, I was drinking straight up.

[Jordan Myrick]

Can you say, I feel like I.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Don'T want to give them the business? This is a bakery cafe chain in Utah that accused me of burglary.

[Kendall Landreth]

Been there, been there.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, keep going. I'm sorry. I had to know and I'm glad I asked.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I was the night shift manager at this place. We'll beep it out. It's called, you're not getting a single bit of my business. Hired me, and I was the night shift manager for quite a while. Excellent. Of course, I was a good employee.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, I can tell.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I was crossing the T's, I was dotting the I's, I was making sure everybody was doing their job. I was stealing regularly.

[Kendall Landreth]

But also, if you have night shift, if you found someone to work a night shift, let them take your money. Absolutely nobody. They're taking 10 years off their life. They weren't night shifting.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They get that for just the customers who hang out after the store closes.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Those are the worst people alive.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But I worked there for a while, quit. And at the time, I like, went to my boss, Sean. I was like, if I don't leave, I don't think I'm gonna be able to move on. Like, I'm gonna be stuck here. I'm like, I think I was 20. I was like, yes, you are. What are you talking about? This is a part time job while you're in college.

[Jordan Myrick]

You probably had a lot going on, though.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I had so much going on.

[Jordan Myrick]

I know.

[Bridger Weiniger]

So I quit, of course. Couldn't find another part time job. Six months later, return now as the delivery driver. About two months in, we get burglarized and I'm on one of my delivery shifts. I get a call from the South Jordan Police Department, says, bridger, yes, we're gonna need you to come in. So I go in, I'm in an interrogation room with a cop, went through the whole thing, and then they basically took me off the schedule. They never. Oh, I guess we're beeping this constantly.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, fuck. Beep both of those words out. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But during, over the course of the investigation, they were asking all these questions like, where were you this night? Blah, blah, blah. They came in, they said something happened Tuesday night, let's say where. More questions were asking. They're like, where were you Wednesday night? I was like, well, I know on Tuesday night I was at a concert for sure. Wednesday, I'm not Wednesday. Night. I'm not sure. Then I was like to the cop, I was like, but you're, we're talking about Tuesday night, right? So she's like, oh yeah. Oh yeah. So that was the quality of investigation that was happening with like they weren't even sure where to find to put the alibi. I know who, who burglarized the place because Alice, he was clearly the thief. Bad attitude.

[Jordan Myrick]

Did he work there?

[Bridger Weiniger]

He worked there. Drug dealer. Sure hated the place. He was the one that had broken in.

[Kendall Landreth]

Right.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And he got away with it. And I got taken off the schedule and now I'm complaining about it constantly on my own podcast.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wow. And where is he now? Do you know?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, let's say, yeah, he's in the Trump administration.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. Yeah. So the only places I've been for Real Housewives are Beauty Lab and Laser. Both locations, of course. Multiple times. I get a picture every single time I go.

[Jordan Myrick]

I love it. Have you gotten work done?

[Bridger Weiniger]

No. And do you know what I've heard? In Utah, you don't have to have a license to practice. What do you practice? Aesthetics.

[Kendall Landreth]

Esthetician. Or is that a person who undead people?

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, esthetician. That's a mortician. Maybe you don't need a license for that either. I'm not sure. Estheticians apparently don't need a license in Utah, which. That gets a little scary for me. They use needles. They're doing things well.

[Jordan Myrick]

They're injecting poison into your face.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. Literal toxins.

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't know, though. Kind of. It looks good.

[Jordan Myrick]

Those women. Well, this is what I'll say. I'm always like, those women do look good. But then when I think about it, I'm like, they're all 22. What happens to them when they're older? I never see the older ones. You see them on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. But other than that, I'm like, you don't really see the older ones.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jordan Myrick]

Where are they?

[Bridger Weiniger]

How old's Heather Gay, do we think?

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, she doesn't count.

[Jordan Myrick]

100 years old. And it doesn't matter.

[Kendall Landreth]

We're waiting for her to be heard.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, we're in.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'm in love with. I have, like, the biggest crush on her.

[Bridger Weiniger]

People love Heather.

[Jordan Myrick]

She's a good time.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. I mean, I miss Monica. I've got to say, I miss Monica.

[Jordan Myrick]

She added a lot of spice.

[Bridger Weiniger]

She was ruining people's. The entire production's life, and I loved it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, she was evil, and I thought it was good tv. Sorry.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, we went to the church.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, we went to Mary Cosby's church.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It was boarded up.

[Jordan Myrick]

It was boarded up.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, no. Mary.

[Jordan Myrick]

There was a gate around here, and I miss her.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'm sorry.

[Bridger Weiniger]

She's back.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, I haven't watched a new season.

[Bridger Weiniger]

New season. She's full force.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

I gotta watch it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

She gotta watch it.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think she's. I think she's a real true villain.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

That's why she needs to be on watch this season.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You two.

[Kendall Landreth]

I can't wait. Why? She's so sweet now.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Redemption arc like you've never seen.

[Jordan Myrick]

Did you see the Reddit threads of people who were in her church that had left her church?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, no.

[Jordan Myrick]

Check it out.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, then I'll watch season Four again to just wash my mouth out.

[Jordan Myrick]

But here's what I think. They're all evil.

[Kendall Landreth]

This is the problem with reality TV right now is it's like, why are you taking people off? Canceling people's grape?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Sure.

[Kendall Landreth]

Don't take them off a reality TV show. That's what I'm trying to see. And that's why I was like, I love her on the show because she's absolutely bonkers. And now when you watch the Bachelor, all the guys are like, I hear you. I see you. I want to validate you. I'm like, get this off my screen.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Boring.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, bitch. I want to see a man punch another man. If I'm watching the Bachelor, I want to see a man punch another man.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, I can't speak to that series. But for Real Housewives, obviously, Monica and Mary made excellent television because they were clearly not just difficult on camera. They were like, making the pa's lives a nightmare. Like, every producer. Nooser must have hated them because otherwise they would keep them.

[Jordan Myrick]

Monica seemed certifiably needing to.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, just sent a while ago.

[Jordan Myrick]

She sent some kind of facility there.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And Linda, her mom.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

At least keep her.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure. Let Linda and the kids stay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I would love for. Give Linda her whole show just talking to plants. You know, I adored her. And now who knows? They're probably at home just fighting with each other, borrowing the car from each other.

[Jordan Myrick]

I know. In their townhouse.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, that's a. That's one thing about Salt Lake housewives that I'm not that familiar with the rest of housewives, but, like, a lot of them just live in truly normal.

[Jordan Myrick]

Homes that are rented.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Frequently rented.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's a big thing that I always think is so funny when they get into these kind of things. It was the same way with Real Housewives of Dallas, where it's like, they're poor compared to all the other housewives.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. Some housewives are genuinely super rich.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

There is a new one on Salt Lake that's genuinely super rich.

[Jordan Myrick]

Which one?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Bronwyn.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

That's her first name.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Bronwyn. Yes, Bronwyn. And she's kind of a delight. But it's also interesting to watch her because she's like, oh, I have endless wealth and I don't even need to be here. So she almost gets to be a spectator because she doesn't really have to deal with anything she doesn't want to do.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. But I do think because the other girls need it. They really were. Especially in the early, you know, first two seasons, fighting for their lives. They needed the show to stay on.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes. You felt that. And I love that you felt that from Jen Shaw because you thought it was gonna save her from jail.

[Jordan Myrick]

100.

[Kendall Landreth]

You've seen the photos of her with.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, with Liz Holmes. Oh, workout buddies.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They're gonna have a show and it's gonna feel genuinely bad because they've ruined lives.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think it's gonna become like, everyone will forget about it. Do you know what I mean? And then it'll just be funny.

[Kendall Landreth]

Like, the pipeline from that to gay icon is so quick.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Like we're gonna be seeing Elizabeth Holmes in concert in two years.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. Gay guys will be dressing as her for Halloween.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The things that the gay community is willing to forgive. If someone's like a genuine villain. It's just like, we love it.

[Kendall Landreth]

We love it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Allow it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And Liz Holmes, I guess she did. Most of the people's lives she ruined were tech people.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's so hard because I still don't understand what she did, unfortunately. I'm like, she made a fake medicine and then sold it to men at a company, but it never existed. What are you talking about? If that's what happened, those men should be in jail.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I think a lot of people should be in jail for that thing. Right.

[Jordan Myrick]

But did it ever affect me? Did it ever affect the common man? Do you know what I mean?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I don't think it ever really trickled down to the normal population.

[Jordan Myrick]

Who cares?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Truly. It's like a bunch of super rich people made a dumb mistake. Not my problem.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's like what business is, right?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't know. I've never done it, but that's what it seems like. They're all just gambling with their money. And if you buy into a woman, tell you about a medicine that she's never shown you. I'm sorry, that's your fault.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Ask some questions.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. Jen Shaw really, truly did bad.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Truly, like one step away from murder, essentially.

[Jordan Myrick]

I mean, defrauding old people is, like, rough. Look, that's Cruella De Vil level behavior.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And do we know where Stuart ended up? The assistant Stuart has to be in.

[Jordan Myrick]

Witness protection because she's going to kill him when she gets out of jail.

[Bridger Weiniger]

She's a dangerous person.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

She's a violent, angry person.

[Jordan Myrick]

She's gonna defraud his grandparents.

[Kendall Landreth]

She just immediately does it again.

[Jordan Myrick]

He's gotta be careful.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, I mean, I could stay on this topic for the rest of my life. But there is something else we need to talk about. Unfortunately, I hate to make a turn into something less pleasant, but I was very excited to have you here today. You know, I thought they would come by, we'd have a great time. And so things started to unravel a little bit. I'll say. When I was trying to pull into the parking lot.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, no.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And I see this car making kind of a wild attempt to back into a space. And then I park. I get out. It's you two. And I'm thinking, oh, I've already lost total respect for both of them.

[Kendall Landreth]

I wasn't driving, so calm down.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And you were holding the podcast. Let's just be very clear. The podcast is called I said no gifts. And I assume at least one of you saw at least half an email at some point. You mentioned that your friend listens to the podcast. Maybe he's not a real friend. I don't know.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Maybe he's not a real listener. You two were holding a gift that I have to assume was for me. Unless you're on your way to a party.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, it's for you. Because I knew I was gonna park like that. So I said, I'm so embarrassed. I have to bring something just to be safe.

[Kendall Landreth]

And you know what is actually embarrassing? It's like, I love Jordan so much, but they started, like, a year ago backing into parking spaces. And I don't know how to tell them, like, you look like a complete asshole. Why are you pulling backing into a parking spot?

[Jordan Myrick]

I think it looks cool. It's like a flex. That is so weird.

[Kendall Landreth]

And you can't. I'm sorry. It takes you. So you're not just.

[Jordan Myrick]

I have to go drifting because I have a backup camera and not a front of my car camera.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. I think these are two topics I'd actually like to touch on briefly. I think we need to have an honest conversation about backing into parking spaces.

[Jordan Myrick]

Backing into parking spaces feels like the new Nickelback. Why does everyone hate it for no reason?

[Bridger Weiniger]

This is how I feel.

[Jordan Myrick]

Really?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. This is.

[Jordan Myrick]

Me, too.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Was so villainized for such a long time and probably for good reason for a while. You know, jerk, asshole guys that were backing in to show off. But I think if we look at it on a level playing field and try to be as neutral as possible. If you can do it, it's not a bad idea.

[Kendall Landreth]

If you can do it. If you can do it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But the problem is, the reason a lot of people. It's still an if is because it's had this real bad reputation, and we've afraid to try.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. So I'm brave.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah, you're breaking through here.

[Jordan Myrick]

But I'm also obsessed with, like, doing a good job parking. I wanna make sure everyone around me has room to get out of their car. Whatever. I wanna be, like, perfectly in the center of my spot. Also, there was, like, construction happening on the parking lot.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Jordan Myrick]

So what happened is, like, I was very stressed. Cause there was a long period of time of me sitting there being like, oh, am I allowed to park in a spot?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I was laying on my horn.

[Jordan Myrick]

So, yeah, you were giving me the finger. I was like, am I allowed to park in this parking spot? There's so much construction. The men working on it were on their break. I'm not gonna bother them on their.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, I saw you yelling at the man.

[Jordan Myrick]

I did not yell at them. He yelled at us.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yell at us.

[Jordan Myrick]

He's very nice to him.

[Kendall Landreth]

But you cannot park there, ma'am.

[Jordan Myrick]

I said, I'm so sorry. I should have known that. So then I went and parked in a different parking space, but it was, like, different than the parking. It wasn't, like, marked visitor. So I was like, am I allowed to be in this parking space? I'm very infatuated with doing the right. Correct.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's a problem. Honestly, you're too considerate in a way that negatively affects me.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sorry.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's not considerate to me. Because you're so scared. What, like a random stranger? Like, if we start.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Your feelings don't matter.

[Kendall Landreth]

Never. I love to stop my car in the middle of the road. Hazard lights on. If you're like, I'm taking a 10. Yeah, I'm taking a smoke break. Jordan will not. If I stop for half a second to just kind of. Jordan's like, you gotta keep it going. You gotta keep it going. You gotta keep it going.

[Jordan Myrick]

Someone's coming up.

[Kendall Landreth]

Someone's coming up.

[Jordan Myrick]

You can't just stop in the middle of the street.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, I agree.

[Kendall Landreth]

You actually can. And you know what? I think we all need more patience. Because I tell you what, I don't even notice when I'm driving. Someone stops in the road, they're texting. That's elite. I don't think that's safe at all. But I'm like, none of my business. They're texting, they're talking to their kids, they're eating a sandwich. I truly don't even think about it. I'm just like. And I shall wait.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're minding your own business.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'm minding my own business. I'll wait I take a minute. I don't want them to be stressed out. We just. Only more patience. I like the second anything turns green. People are honking at me. I'm like, let me put down my coffee, close my Netflix down.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Stop this crossword puzzle a second.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't think that, for me, it's a patience thing. It's just, like. It's not considerate, and it's not safe.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. I'm very much with you here.

[Jordan Myrick]

Thank you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, I think green light. I think we all owe each other about two to three seconds. At this point, there's a grace period because we all are looking at our phone. We have to admit that at least at a stoplight, we're looking at the phone. Unless you're at a green arrow, in which case you have to be much more vigilant.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Because you have a power there. You can let us all go through quickly. And if you're sticking around. Oh, if it ends up being one car because you were on your phone, evil straight to jail.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But overall consideration, I'm with you. My problem is I can't back into a spot because I have zero spatial skills whatsoever.

[Jordan Myrick]

Me too. Do you not have a backup camera?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I do. That doesn't matter.

[Jordan Myrick]

Really.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I am. I do not know where the car is in space or time at any point.

[Kendall Landreth]

Do you have attention deficit disorder?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Some listeners have recently reached out.

[Kendall Landreth]

Sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Of course. To diagnose me.

[Jordan Myrick]

Of course.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I have never been diagnosed, but I'm like, maybe. Are listeners reaching out the new WebMD?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, everyone that listens to our podcast. Well, not. I used to do another podcast, and all the comments are just, like, waiting for Kendall's autism diagnosis. And I was like, okay. So then I asked my therapist. I was like, do you think I have autism?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Of course.

[Kendall Landreth]

I was like, I don't really think I do, but I. And then. So I came. She was like, no, I really don't think you do. So then I go back on the podcast. I was like, everyone thinks I have autism. I don't. And then the comments were like, Kendall saying she doesn't have autism. It's a canon event. We can't interfere. So it remains to be seen. I don't think so, but I do have very severe adhd. Like, did the long testing for it. He said my executive function was. He said, I've never seen anything like this. You have just pretty much no executive function. And something about it is, I have really bad spatial awareness. So it's like, anytime I walk into A room. My shoulder's hitting the door. I don't know if you. It might have dried now, but I had a Celsius before I came in. It was all down my shirt because every time I go to drink, I don't know where my mouth is. I just pour it down myself.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I thought this was all just because I was gay.

[Kendall Landreth]

Maybe.

[Jordan Myrick]

Am I? That's part of that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting. What is the whole test. What do they do? Make you do, or can I not know because then I'll cheat?

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, I don't think you could cheat if you wanted to.

[Kendall Landreth]

I think. Yeah, it's really terrible, to be honest. I don't think a lot of people take it now because it seems like people can just, like, get.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They can have listeners reach out.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, they're like, listeners reach out.

[Kendall Landreth]

And Walgreens is like, okay, that's good enough. But when I got diagnosed, I had to take this long test. It was like seven, six hours on Zoom because it was during COVID So it was. It's basically designed where if you have adhd, you cannot make it through this test.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow.

[Kendall Landreth]

And so by the end, I remember the last. The last thing they had me do was, you know, one of those tests where every time the letter B comes up, you press the space button.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Kendall Landreth]

Very easy. I have good eyes. I'm not unable to see when the bee comes up. This was on hour six. I missed, like, 25 bees out of 50, because I was. So. He said during the test, I looked away. I was just looking around. I was so exhausted, but.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Of course you were.

[Kendall Landreth]

But I couldn't do it. And then there was one test where he said, name as many animals as you can in a minute. He said, I named more animals than he'd ever seen. I name more animals he's never seen. He said, you name like an animal second. That was my improv training. But then he goes, now name. Go back and forth. So name a name.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Your son.

[Kendall Landreth]

Animal Name an animal name, and then name a boy's name. I said, well, that's complicated, because what is a boy's name?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Of course.

[Kendall Landreth]

But then you have to go back and forth my. I don't remember the statistic, but it was like my ability to do that dropped, like, 95%. So instead of being like, zebra, cow, cat. I was like, zebra john. I, like, could not. And that's where I cannot go back and forth. Like, my ability. No one can really multitask, but my ability to change between tasks is.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I gotta take this. I have to take this.

[Jordan Myrick]

Take it.

[Kendall Landreth]

It was not good. And it was. But it was also affirming. Like, I feel like afterwards you were like, are you upset? Like, oh. Because he was like, you're so. You have such bad adhd.

[Jordan Myrick]

You also found out you had a couple, like, learning disabilities, too. So it was a lot.

[Kendall Landreth]

He was like, he's not able to diagnose me with a learning disability, but he was like, I would encourage you to seek out more testing. And I was like, I'm not ever picking up a book again, so thank you so much. But I was like, no. I feel worst case scenario, I would have gone in and he would have been like, you're fine. And I would have been like, then what's the problem? No, I'm not. Something is deeply wrong. It's very nice. It was good to know. Like, yeah, my brain is actually not functioning well.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Of course. That's great to learn. You're living with something.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But why wouldn't you want to know?

[Kendall Landreth]

It's a perfect excuse for everything.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Of course I'm looking for an excuse all the time.

[Jordan Myrick]

Adhd.

[Kendall Landreth]

Every time I'm late, it's ruining my life. I don't have to take a responsibility.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It might be too much to ask, but. Or am I asking too much here? Are you on a medication?

[Kendall Landreth]

Because I'm on a medication.

[Jordan Myrick]

She has to be. She can't drive or read or be on time or.

[Kendall Landreth]

And even just it. I'm so overwhelmed because I. Everything feels so. I can't. And when I first. Before I got diagnosed with. That, they diagnosed me with depression. And even in the. When I got diagnosed and they put me on antidepressants, I was like, I don't think I have. I really don't feel like I connect to that, like, at all. But that's really common if you've had undiagnosed ADHD for so long. Because every task is so hard. Like, washing your face is so hard. Like remembering. And you mess up so much, too. You piss everyone off. Cause you're like, oh, my God, I showed up to this photo shoot. I didn't bring any clothes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'm naked. You're always apologizing to everyone, and it just wears on your self confidence. It wears on just everything. And when I. I. And then, you know, I got the med. I got diagnosed with adhd, and then I got Adderall at first.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

And, you know, I'm. I'm kind of from a hippie town.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Sure, sure.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I am very.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You are not vaccinated.

[Jordan Myrick]

I am vaccinated because I made her get vaccinated. Oh, I was vaccinated.

[Kendall Landreth]

But I will tell you, I was telling Jordan the other day, I was like, I was always vaccinated because my mom came from out of town. We didn't grow up where. Like, she didn't grow up where I grew up. But when people are, like, blown away by anti vaxxers, that was, like, most of the people I grew up with.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting.

[Kendall Landreth]

So even though I don't.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Where'd you grow up?

[Kendall Landreth]

It's called Grass Valley.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's Northern California.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's, like, really beautiful, but it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

A lot of things happening in Northern California of all different shapes and sizes.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm sorry.

[Kendall Landreth]

I was born there.

[Jordan Myrick]

I've never met a single person.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Annalise was born in Grass Valley.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay. Okay, we'll chat.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I lived in Nevada City for the.

[Jordan Myrick]

First six years of my life, and then I moved to Boulder, Colorado. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And Annaliese has measles right now. Right now.

[Kendall Landreth]

Honestly, Nevada City is like. It's like Grass Valley, Nevada City are different, but they're the same. Like, I went to school with. Everyone I went to school with was in Nevada City.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wow.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But you said hippie.

[Kendall Landreth]

I was like, is it Grass Valley?

[Jordan Myrick]

And then you said grass. I'm sorry.

[Bridger Weiniger]

My mind's blown. Incredible.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay, we have to talk more because I never meet anyone from there. It's small, but it's a little. You know, there were still, like, chickenpox parties happening.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, sure.

[Kendall Landreth]

Where parents take their kids to get chickenpox. So I don't agree with it, but I was not. It was not uncommon. So I was kind of like, oh, yeah, most people don't vaccinate their kids or take Advil. That's very normal. And so even though I don't believe in that, I think Adderall is kind of like boss level medication.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And it is a medication that can be. That is often abused 100%.

[Kendall Landreth]

And so even once I had the medication, it took me so long to take it. Sorry. This is such a long story. I don't know why I'm talking so much about this, but one day I could not get out of bed. And I always. I'm sorry. I don't wanna get in trouble, but I would roll my eyes when I'd see those things that are like, give yourself a sticker for brushing your teeth.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'd be like, this.

[Jordan Myrick]

I understood it.

[Kendall Landreth]

I was like, I need someone to.

[Jordan Myrick]

Give me a sticker.

[Kendall Landreth]

I'm not brushing my teeth. I could not get out of bed. And Jordan was like, take the Adderall. Just take it. Just try it. And what's great about Adderall? It's not like the other drugs where you have to try it for two weeks. Like, you take it one time, you'll know if you don't have to wait for it to kick in. And I literally got out of bed immediately and was like, I'm fixed. Everything's fine. My brain is functioning how it's always supposed to. It's incredible.

[Jordan Myrick]

It changed our lives.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow. Okay, I'm gonna take the test.

[Kendall Landreth]

I would. I really would.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, speaking of adhd, I truly was trying to get the podcast on track with the gift.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, no, we're back at it. Are you mad at us?

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, I'm like, the listener's. Like, I was right all along. More people are writing in to diagnose me. Like, this guy cannot keep track, stay on track with anything. Although I am on time all the time, which makes me wonder, because I feel like people with ADHD are often not on time.

[Kendall Landreth]

But maybe you have such bad anxiety from being, like. From upsetting people that you, like, have to. Because I feel like I used to be similar.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

Or maybe you have. I have severe generalized anxiety disorder that I take medication for, so maybe you have that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm on Wellbutrin, which has been very helpful.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's one of the things I take as well.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But, you know, I'm willing to take as many pills as possible.

[Jordan Myrick]

I love that.

[Kendall Landreth]

We'll slip you a couple hours, try them out.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm here to just ask you for Adderall.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. And we'll give it to you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. You brought the gift.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Should we open it here on the podcast?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

Do you want it? You didn't seem like you wanted it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, now I feel rude that I. You know, I guess I have to. I asked.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's really good. I think you're gonna want it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's a gorgeous little bag. I'm tempted.

[Jordan Myrick]

Kendall's incredible at wrapping.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I love. It's almost like Kevlar. This is like Batman's suit.

[Jordan Myrick]

It is.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What is this?

[Kendall Landreth]

We're rich.

[Jordan Myrick]

We're extremely rich.

Okay, we're pulling it. Oh, I love the tissue. Okay. Oh, I'm going to pull out the tissue just because. Just to make noise.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, good sound.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, now I'm reaching in. There are three objects.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm gonna try to guess they're fruit of some type, and I want to guess they've been. I imagine you plucked these yourself. Picked. You don't pluck a fruit.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, you do.

[Jordan Myrick]

You could.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Do you pluck a fruit?

[Jordan Myrick]

Good.

[Kendall Landreth]

Why not pluck an apple off a tree?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Pluck an apple off a tree. I suppose. Go apple plucking.

[Jordan Myrick]

Why not?

[Bridger Weiniger]

But these are. These feel citrus.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm going to guess these are limes.

[Jordan Myrick]

No.

[Kendall Landreth]

Bad.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I actually don't. Are these tangerines?

[Kendall Landreth]

You don't know what those are? They're lemons.

[Bridger Weiniger]

These are lemons.

[Kendall Landreth]

What's wrong with those?

[Bridger Weiniger]

They're very orange.

[Jordan Myrick]

Kendall's kind of popping off in a way that I think we maybe shouldn't be concerned.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, I'm concerned.

[Jordan Myrick]

Are you colorblind?

[Kendall Landreth]

Those are lemons. I don't know how anyone would know.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, this is what I'll say That really upset me.

[Bridger Weiniger]

These are Meyer lemons.

[Jordan Myrick]

They're Meyer lemons.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

These are Meyer lemons. Yes. From my parents lemon tree.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Ooh. Meyer lemons are tricky because they're very orange.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Very sweet.

[Jordan Myrick]

Very sweet. These are the best lemons I've ever had. They're so thin skinned. The zest is incredible.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

Put them in the fridge or they will mold too quickly cause the skin is so thin. Oh, but they're unbelievable. They're the best lemons I've ever had. My parents live like 30 minutes north of here.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

And those are from their tree.

[Kendall Landreth]

But if they start to mold, put them in your garbage disposal.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Clean it right up.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, it's true.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I love. That's my little treat to myself where I'm like, it probably shouldn't get ground up in the garbage disposal. But it smells wonderful. Probably bacterial d something.

[Jordan Myrick]

Exactly.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, so why did you bring these?

[Jordan Myrick]

Because I think it felt like a nice thing you would want.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It seems like a lovely thing to have in a drink. Yes. Make a lemon meringue pie. Probably not enough for that.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

We're really trying to seem like homesteaders.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. Trad wife.

[Kendall Landreth]

We're trying to seem sophisticated and we really aren't. And we really want to. We live in an apartment, but we're trying to compost. And Jordan has a small tomato plant.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, sure.

[Kendall Landreth]

And we're trying to be farmers.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Bring the earth in.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes. And not shop at places that not go out and just fully make our own food.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're butchering your own meat.

[Jordan Myrick]

We're trying.

[Kendall Landreth]

And so that's kind of what this is to show is like, you think now we have like an orchard on our apartment.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I asked too many questions. You were hoping that I would just move past the lemons and everyone would assume they were yours.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. But fine, it's for my parents tree. But I don't know, it feels fancy and classy and it feels like a gift you'd really use.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well.

[Kendall Landreth]

And it's not even really your parents tree. It's your parents neighbor's tree that hangs on in there.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I love a neighbor's tree.

[Jordan Myrick]

It hangs into my parents yard. So legally we're allowed to pick the fridge.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I have a neighbor has a pomegranate tree.

[Kendall Landreth]

That's a good one.

[Bridger Weiniger]

When those show up, I feel like I'm in heaven. Pomegranates are extreme.

[Jordan Myrick]

I thought about going on like Facebook, like buy nothing groups or something. There has to be a group for this and just posting Being like, does anyone have a fruit tree where I can come get some fruit?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I'm sure people do. I think a lot of people, they're very spoiled and take them for granted, but they have these trees and they're like, I can't use this much fruit.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's like any fruit tree owner, unless they run a business.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, and then the fruit. Fruit falls. Then the squirrels come, squirrels come, or rats come or whatever. So I'm like, let me take it. Let me be the rat.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Let me be the rat.

[Kendall Landreth]

And a lemon's the best tree, I think, to have because it's so multi use.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, yeah. You can just put it in water.

[Kendall Landreth]

Right. My poor mom had a peach tree for a while, and it was like every. Whenever those bloom, she had her cans out, being like, I've got 900 peaches. I have to make jars to give to your teachers. It's so much. But you can do so much of the lemon.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Although a good peach is so hard to find, sure to have it. Just be ready on the tree. I mean, I think a peach is probably the best. A ripe peach is the best fruit available.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wow.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's very ripe, but it's nearly impossible to get.

[Kendall Landreth]

But that's every fruit. I feel like every fruit is us remembering the best version of that we had 90 years ago.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's how I feel about berries.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, berries are tricky. Apples, I feel like, are easy.

[Jordan Myrick]

Kendall's very particular.

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't want any mealy apple I cut off. So every bruise, everything. So it's just a tiny core that I have to nibble on like a little.

[Jordan Myrick]

We talked about her not being particular about food, but apples is the one thing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What sort of apples are you eating?

[Kendall Landreth]

Fuji. Is that one Fuji?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, so Fuji or red?

[Kendall Landreth]

I pick a red one at the store. I don't really know.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I like a green apple.

[Kendall Landreth]

I like a green apple in caramel.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Hate a yellow apple.

[Kendall Landreth]

What's a yellow apple? That's a lemon.

[Jordan Myrick]

You probably thought it was Meyer lemon.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yellow apples are, I feel like, are something that were in a paper bag lunch in, like 1978, and then people forgot about them. They always seem really mealy to me. There's nothing. They're not. I think they're very sweet, actually. I don't think they're, like, tart at all. I need a fruit to have some level of kick. You need to fight back.

[Kendall Landreth]

Interesting.

[Bridger Weiniger]

So if a fruit is sweet and mealy, that's like eating mold. It's like just eating death.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But you Are having trouble with the apples. Your parents are growing all this fruit?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

You don't like berries?

[Bridger Weiniger]

You don't like berries at all?

[Jordan Myrick]

Not really. I think you're always trying to chase a good berry. And I'm like, stop giving me a strawberry in November and being surprised when I don't like it.

[Kendall Landreth]

But what I like with blueberries, though, they're doing some good stuff with science with those.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What are they doing with them?

[Kendall Landreth]

You're getting blueberries now? Now I know it's gonna give me cancer one day. I don't care. They're giving me blueberries that are an inch wide.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow. Are they now? Blueberries are extremely difficult for me because they're almost always mush. Sweet mush. I like them to be like. I hate. I don't like to see the word firm, but you know. Yeah. Like a crunch.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wait, why not?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Firm for me.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's a no go.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's a no go.

[Kendall Landreth]

Wow.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Firm.

[Jordan Myrick]

I love firm.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Rhymes with worm.

[Jordan Myrick]

I like worms.

[Kendall Landreth]

You don't like worms.

[Jordan Myrick]

All right.

[Kendall Landreth]

Right, sorry. We're homesteaders.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Firm.

[Kendall Landreth]

We're very storm.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sorry.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Firm. Yeah, it's just I. I don't know. There's something that makes me uncomfortable. Firm. But I like it to have some sort of crunch or something and be sour. So I guess I don't like.

[Kendall Landreth]

You like it to be sour? Interesting.

[Jordan Myrick]

Like a green apple.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah. Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I think I need everything to be sour. I think my senses are all have been dulled so much that things have to be either extremely sour or spicy for me.

[Jordan Myrick]

To them, I'm extremely spicy too.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You like a spicy thing?

[Jordan Myrick]

Very, very spicy.

[Bridger Weiniger]

How? Like, what's the spicy thing you like to eat?

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, anything. I love lob, which is like a Thai restaurant.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I worked at a Thai restaurant.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

So, you know, get that really spicy. I mean anything. But I like it as hot as you can get it. Cuz I'm not a thrill seeker in any other aspect of my life. I'm very safe and I'm very safe. And spice is the one way in which I. I seek the thrill.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right. I love. I love spicy food. But I've had to like recently kind of dial it back because despite it tasting wonderful, it just like, it makes my stomach feel like it was burned by like it's ash. The next morning, it feels like I've truly thrown it into a fire.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

So I have to be careful. I have to modulate it. I can do like a. Do you ever go to Howlin Ray's? Yeah, I do A medium there now.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Which is like a spicy.

[Jordan Myrick]

Spicy.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But beyond that is dangerous, I think. What do you get there?

[Jordan Myrick]

I get. I would say probably hot, because that's one below the hottest.

[Kendall Landreth]

But you just accept kind of your pain. I feel like you're like, I like it.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm, like, sweating. It feels good.

[Kendall Landreth]

I feel like after.

[Jordan Myrick]

You're like, horrible. Heartburn.

[Kendall Landreth]

Heartburn. And this is just part of it. I'm like, you should maybe do let. And you're like, I just have to allow that. That's just part of it. You're in pain after.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're not a spicy eater.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, not at all. I like nothing seasoned at all.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's really embarrassing when we go to restaurants.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I do feel like secondhand embarrassment when my boyfriend orders something that's like a little pad Thai.

[Jordan Myrick]

No spice.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's like chicken noodle soup. Grow up.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's like, I hate when people are so pretentious. It's like Jordan always gets embarrassed when we go to an Italian restaurant and I ask for butter with my bread, and then they're like, we don't have that. You don't have butter. It's a restaurant. Give me some butter from the fridge. You're lying straight to my face. You're trying to make me feel like you're better than me. You're not gonna get me some butter. I don't say that, though.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You don't do olive oil.

[Kendall Landreth]

I do.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But you prefer butter.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's like, doing it. I'm pretending. I'm like, oh, the whole time. I wish I had butter instead of this. But I guess we'll, you know. Or like, when I ask for, like, extra sour cream at a Mexican restaurant, and they'll be like, we don't have sour cream. Cause it's, like, really authentic. I just like. I'm like, like. Then I'll bring some next time, and that'll be really embarrassing for you to.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Pull sour cream out of your bag warm. I do. I frequently feel like I should have at least a bottle of hot sauce in my bag. But I'm. I'm afraid it'll break.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Then what do we do? Where do we go from there?

[Kendall Landreth]

Nothing worse than a broken liquid in a bag.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But when you end up. I mean, the one thing worse is when you go to a restaurant and all they have is Tabasco.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's so awful. And it's just the red one. Green chipotle. We can do just the red Tabasco.

[Kendall Landreth]

Why?

[Jordan Myrick]

It's bad. Sorry, L.A. it's bad. It's just cayenne and vinegar. But I like both cayenne and vinegar. So I don't know, like, what's going wrong.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's just not what you like. It's not what you want out of a hot sauce.

[Jordan Myrick]

It doesn't taste good. It's not what you want out of anything. You have to have something else. Especially when you go to a place that's like. If I go to a place that's like a Cajun place and they only had Tabasco, first of all, they won't. If it's a real Cajun or Creole place. They're going to have Louisiana. They're going to have crystal. They're going to have something. Yes. But if it's more like that and they only have Tabasco. Okay. Sometimes you go to, like, yeah, like, an Italian restaurant or like a weird whatever, and then they, like, only have Tabasco. I'm like, unacceptable.

[Bridger Weiniger]

What is this unacceptable? There are so many choices that other restaurants have shown they can have.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Zabs. Do you like Zabs?

[Jordan Myrick]

Love Zabs.

[Kendall Landreth]

Jordan loves Zabs. You should see our fridge. Like, the whole shelving on the left side is just hot sauce.

[Jordan Myrick]

I love Dream. I get them everywhere we go. When we get sent hot sauce, too, by brand stuff. We should go to dinner together. Or you should come over for dinner, Please. And we could do something really spicy.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Do you have a favorite hot sauce in the world?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, I love the original. I can never remember the name. I think it's maybe called Siraj Panache maybe is what it's called. I have to look it up.

[Kendall Landreth]

Please have the yellow top.

[Jordan Myrick]

It has the yellow top. It's like the original Sriracha.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, and Sriracha's in a confusing world.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's in a confusing world.

[Jordan Myrick]

I like Sriracha. I do think it tastes good. But this is like the. Or like the, you know, the Sriracha everyone thinks of with the green top. I like it. It's good. But this one is, like, really next level, so I love that one. I love crystal. They do a garlic crystal.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, that I love. Sounds fantastic.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm trying to think of, like, other big ones. I. I really like, and I like a true hot sauce now. You know what's pissing me off lately?

[Bridger Weiniger]

What?

[Jordan Myrick]

Everywhere I go, you want hot sauce. They have chili crisp.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh. Which is fantastic. But it has its place.

[Kendall Landreth]

It.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's its own thing. And sometimes I want spice with all.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I want spice without all that oil and the garlicky. And, like, it has chili crisp. Has a real distinct flavor.

[Jordan Myrick]

It has texture. But I just find that, like, every restaurant now, like, Americans have found out about. And I love. Once again, I love. I'm a big Lao Gan Ma fan. Like, I love chili crisp. I use it all the time. But it's just like, you'll go to, like, a regular, like, American style brunch restaurant, and they'll be like, well, we're not doing hot sauce. We're doing chili crisp. Would you like that for your eggs Benedict?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm like, it's not a neutral hot sauce.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

Did you like the TJ's Chili Crisp? Because that went viral. You didn't like it? No.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Did they make a bad one?

[Jordan Myrick]

No. That Trader Joe's Onion Chili Crisp tastes like old oil and onion skins. It's not good. I hate to tell people.

[Bridger Weiniger]

TJ's does a pretty good job with most of these things.

[Jordan Myrick]

Some of their habanero hot sauce is great.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I haven't had that.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, really nice. Really simple, very affordable.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They dropped the ball on the chili crisp.

[Jordan Myrick]

What's your favorite hot sauce?

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, right now, my just like, go to. My hope is that a place will have zabs. It goes with almost everything niche. Just spicy enough.

[Jordan Myrick]

Everywhere's having zabs.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I feel like in la, zabs is popping up more and more. I mean, and also, I should just say I eat at Clark Street Diner nine times a week. Okay. Yeah. It's an unfortunate flaw where I'm there constantly drinking probably half their Diet Coke supply and putting Zab's hot Sauce on everybody.

[Jordan Myrick]

Everything zaps is so interesting to me because it's a St. Augustine, Florida style hot sauce is what it allegedly is. And I grew up. I'm originally from New Orleans and then grew up going between New Orleans and South Florida. I had never, ever heard of a St. Augustine style hot sauce or even really like a Florida regional hot sauce. Never heard of that. And then zaps popped up and now it's like a whole category of hot sauce. It's very interesting to me.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah, I really like it. And I like the name.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's made with a dattle pepper. Oh, that's, I guess, a specific type of pepper that comes from St. Augustine, Florida.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting. Oh, my God, the things I'm learning right now. But yeah, zabs, when I'm at, like, a Thai restaurant, I guess I hope that they have their own thing, of course. But Sriracha, Although I've heard that sriracha tastes different now. They had some sort of issue.

[Jordan Myrick]

I gotta get a new quality Quality.

[Kendall Landreth]

Control is all over the place. This is what I'll tell you. And I'm sorry I've been ranting about this like I'm a nine year old man, but I am like products these days. They're all going downhill.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh. The only thing I'll say that's I've spoken about this on the podcast before is the girl Scouts Thin Mint. I think it's the one thing that throughout history has tasted the same, been the same quality, untouched.

[Kendall Landreth]

All of them. Well, now they call them caramelite.

[Jordan Myrick]

Caramelites.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, I've never had those similar because those are the ones I wanted as a kid.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

And when I taste them now, it really takes me back. It feels like it takes their tag.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Alongs have fallen off the peanut butter.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, do you know I learned this at work. There are two different Girl Scout cookie bakeries in the nation.

[Bridger Weiniger]

There's two different ones competing.

[Jordan Myrick]

No.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Jordan Myrick]

But just like where they make them.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, sure.

[Jordan Myrick]

And the tag along specifically people say that from the two different bakeries taste different.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, interesting.

[Kendall Landreth]

There's that stuff with a lot of. I saw somewhere. I'm questioning if it was listening to this podcast. So Tony Fox. But they're Cheez its. Cheez its in can. If you. If you really love Cheez its you go to the code on the back and if it has a K in front of it means it was made in the Kansas factory. And those are the by Cheez it lovers. The best Cheez it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I wonder where they're making the other ones. Interesting garbage out of North Hollywood.

[Jordan Myrick]

Literally.

[Kendall Landreth]

Probably.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Probably interesting.

[Jordan Myrick]

I do want to know.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes. Did you like the gift? What I've been thinking about is should I taste it?

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Just peel it here and taste it. You never peel a lemon?

[Jordan Myrick]

No. I've never seen anyone do this and.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I've never just eaten a lemon. I might need some water.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's real.

[Jordan Myrick]

What is that? Coffee.

[Kendall Landreth]

Coffee.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, never mind.

[Bridger Weiniger]

This is coffee.

[Kendall Landreth]

That's a real power play. If you were just at a restaurant and just pee. Just ate a lemon. I used to do that because I feel like in the South. I grew up in Grass Valley, but it went from zero to six. I lived in North Carolina. I feel like in the south everything is served with a lemon.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I would suck on it as a kid.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I would too. I would love like a lime. Just a little bit of lime. But I have. I mean it's been years and I've never had a. Oh, thank you for the water. Anneliese. I've never had, like, a section of a lemon.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And a Meyer's lemon.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm excited. Your hands are gonna smell incredible.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They already do.

[Kendall Landreth]

Doesn't it smell good? This feels like something, too now. Like, when you open TikTok and they're like, 10 reasons your cortisol is fucked up. I feel like I could totally see a world where girls are like, eat a full lemon every morning, and it will wait. It's like a cold bath. It's like an ice bath.

[Jordan Myrick]

Alzheimer's, I'm sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I bet we've just started it now. The ball is rolling. People are gonna be eating lemons. I mean, a lemon is a tricky thing to peel, to be honest.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, I did ask my gynecologist about.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The cortisol thing, and what'd they have to say?

[Jordan Myrick]

She was like, that is fake. She was like, that is made up. I'm so sorry to tell you. And my gynecologist is cool, too. She wears a hoodie over scrubs. She's hot and she's cool.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Interesting.

[Jordan Myrick]

She's very.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The back of a grocery store.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes, it's what I can afford. She. But she's not like, some stuffy old man doctor who, like, doesn't believe in progress or listening to him or, like, she's very cool. I like her a lot, but she's like, yeah, that's just a thing. Her explanation was like, everything is just people looking for a reason why they're gaining weight as they get older. And it's like, you're. She was like, if your cortisol. Your cortisol could only be off by such a minute amount, and if it was off by, like, way more, you'd be dead.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, it's so.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's not like, a lot of these things that people are like, oh, this thing is like. She's like, you would be so, so sick. It's not just like, I've gained six pounds and my face looks heavier. Oh, your cortisol's high.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You'd be in the hospital.

[Jordan Myrick]

You'd be, like, very sick. Something. I'd be like, really, really wrong. Wrong. So she's like, yeah, everyone's just chasing a reason as to why they are a little heavier now as they get older. And she's like, that's just the way the body works.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Look how much liquid is going.

[Jordan Myrick]

These are really juicy. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Oh, my God.

[Kendall Landreth]

Our gift sucked.

[Jordan Myrick]

I thought this would be a cool gift.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm thrilled about this, but it's Got to be. Look, I've never seen anything like this.

[Jordan Myrick]

They're so shopping lit.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I get the seeds out to either of you now that I've touched the apple.

[Jordan Myrick]

We have some at home. I'll use some of those. Thank you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, we're gonna give this a shot here. I mean, it's amazing.

[Kendall Landreth]

Is it really?

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's like sour candy.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's like the sweetest lemon you've ever had.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I genuinely. I wonder if it'll give me a stomach ache if I eat more.

[Jordan Myrick]

What do you think? It's very acidic.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But, you know, I'm eat one more because it tastes good.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm so happy.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, this just makes my day.

[Bridger Weiniger]

This is a delicious wet.

[Kendall Landreth]

It is really wet.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't think they're intended to be in that way necessarily, but I'm glad you are. I'm glad you are.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, delightful. It's the same thing as, like, a sour patch or a sour gummy worm.

[Jordan Myrick]

My mouth is salivating watching you eat those.

[Bridger Weiniger]

My hands smell cleaner than they ever will again.

[Kendall Landreth]

Wow.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The entire exterior layer has been melted off of my hands.

[Jordan Myrick]

This is exactly what I wanted.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And the room smells so good now.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, it does.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Meyer lemon should just be a snack. I promote that. I'm going to start promoting that. Okay, now I've made an absolute mess of the entire studio. My hands are sticky.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. But that's fine. Who cares? And now I'm gonna struggle here. Do your parents have other fruit trees?

[Jordan Myrick]

I think that they've planted some that they're hoping become full trees, but we moved around a lot, so my parents really haven't gotten a chance to invest in a space in that way up until the last couple years. And. And I think now they're really trying to do it. I think they have a fig tree.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's cool.

[Kendall Landreth]

And your grandma has a eucalyptus tree.

[Jordan Myrick]

My grandma has a eucalyptus tree.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I bet that smells good.

[Jordan Myrick]

My parents have an olive tree now. My mom keeps trying to do olives.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That seems like a nightmare.

[Jordan Myrick]

It really is. She keeps just molding them on accident. But I didn't think about this. Of course olives are in brine, but, like, you have to brine them, otherwise they're, you know, kind of useless. But that's hard.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

And my mom has a full time job. My mom. My mom's an ICU nurse and she's like one of the head ICU nurses at, like, a big hospital in la. So my mom's, like, taking on these hobbies that are the kind of hobbies a retired person does and the hospital is noticing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They're like, something's off with Cheryl.

[Jordan Myrick]

There's something's going on.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Focus on something else.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, God. Now I have some fruit trees in my yard, and they rarely have fruit on them. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's devastating.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I have. I think one of them might be a Meyer lemon thing. I've obviously never seen one.

[Kendall Landreth]

I. I think sometimes you just have to fully neglect stuff, is what I've.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Learned, because I'm not a plant.

[Kendall Landreth]

Anytime I take care of something, it dies immediately. And then there's, like, a thing growing on my street where I walk my dog that no one's touched, and it's just in full bloom.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's how. What is that bush that's all over.

[Kendall Landreth]

LA that looks like a dinosaur.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's, like, pink.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, wrong one. Do you know what I'm talking about? Where it's like a. Almost. It looks like something from prehistoric times.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's like the. Almost like a succulent. And then coming out of it is a long trunk that hangs if you don't clip it and no one does. And it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wonder what that is. That sounds great.

[Kendall Landreth]

We have one outside our house.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, bougainvillea is what I'm thinking. Oh, those will be, like, on the side of the freeway.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. And they're beautiful. Throttle beautiful.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And then I'm trying to grow one in my yard, and it's like, no thing. I try on this thing. Neglect water, whatever will help it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I'm like. I was walking the other day, and I. I saw one of those on our street, and I was like, everyone's going to Japan to see these blossoms. Isn't that what this is? And also, we should really. Why don't we plant more? And then people would come. See these trees?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, yeah. You gotta go to go to LA for the blossoms, right?

[Kendall Landreth]

Cause I was like, we have these too. These are pink and pretty.

[Jordan Myrick]

Why are you trying to get people to come to la?

[Kendall Landreth]

I know.

[Bridger Weiniger]

We're on the tourism board.

[Jordan Myrick]

There's enough people here.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, well, is there anything left to say about the lemons before we move on?

[Jordan Myrick]

You tell us.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Do you each name your favorite fruit? I named mine.

[Jordan Myrick]

I didn't. What's your favorite fruit?

[Kendall Landreth]

I like fruit. Really? I love a mango. A good mango.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Mango and sticky rice. Delicious.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes. I love watermelon.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, interesting.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I love. You only ask for one. I don't have to name. I'M a fruit guy.

[Jordan Myrick]

You're a fruit guy.

[Kendall Landreth]

I love fruit. I love blueberries. I'm a big blueberry person.

[Jordan Myrick]

Citrus is my favorite, but that's not an acceptable answer most of the time. So I will say, like, a more solid fruit, which is pineapple.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh. Oh, of course. Our tastes really align.

[Jordan Myrick]

I know. I'm loving it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Sorry.

[Kendall Landreth]

I know. I'll leave. My dad ate so much pineapple one time, he had to go to the hospital. Oh, the acid. I don't remember exactly what happened, but there was a hole somewhere in his body. There shouldn't have been.

[Jordan Myrick]

He was a sick man. In general.

[Kendall Landreth]

He was very sick, but that was a separate room. My mom, like, packed him a pineapple. He was gonna go on this trip. He was always going on some trip. He was always doing a business deal. We did not have any money. I don't know what these business deals were. We're gonna out. But he. My mom packed him a bunch of pineapple. She cut up, like, two full pineapples.

[Bridger Weiniger]

She tried to kill him.

[Kendall Landreth]

Probably. Probably. But she was like, you're going on this long trip, so eat these over the course. But my dad, she should have known. He's a big pineapple freak. And he ate them all on the first day. And he had to go to the hospital.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow. Who would have thought?

[Kendall Landreth]

His mouth was probably bleeding.

[Bridger Weiniger]

He probably had canker sores all over his mouth.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

He was so sick, he didn't even know.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Canker. Soresaurus. That's why I shouldn't be eating lemons.

[Kendall Landreth]

Two is fine. That's normal.

[Jordan Myrick]

Two little segments.

[Bridger Weiniger]

We'll wash my mouth out.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's fine. Our gift was good.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's an excellent gift. I don't think I've ever eaten a citrus on the podcast before.

[Jordan Myrick]

First.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Or walked away smelling good.

[Kendall Landreth]

First.

[Bridger Weiniger]

So, yeah, kind of an ideal gift you brought for me. Well, I think we should play a game.

[Jordan Myrick]

Please.

[Bridger Weiniger]

We're going to play a game called Gift or a Curse. But I need a number between 1 and 10 from you.

[Jordan Myrick]

3.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. Wow. I have to do some light calculating to get our game pieces. Great. So right now you can promote, recommend, do whatever you want. I'll be right back.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wonderful. Please listen to our podcast, Happy Wife, Happy Life. It's a relationship comedy and dating podcast that we do together and sometimes have.

[Kendall Landreth]

Guests, and we have an absolute blast. And if it's not your thing, just turn the volume down and listen to it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, Just let it straighten.

[Kendall Landreth]

We don't need you to be engaged. We just need someone we need people listening to it, but we have a real blast over there.

[Jordan Myrick]

You can also follow us both on social media. I'm sure that our handles will be maybe in the bio of this. Who knows? But find us online. We'd love to see you there.

[Kendall Landreth]

And Jordan has their own TV show.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's called Gastronauts. It's on Dropout. It's a comedy cooking competition show. We just wrapped on the second season. First season's all on Dropout and it's a real blast. I think you should watch it.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's so good. It's really amazing. But, yeah, we're just on social media. And then our little podcast. We have so much fun. A lot of gay stuff. But also we're trying to connect more to a straight audience. We got our gay people, so now.

[Bridger Weiniger]

We'Re trying to get a couple of the straights come too.

[Kendall Landreth]

So we're getting straight guests. So look forward to that if you have a husband.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Connecting with straight people.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's hard.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Lifelong battle.

[Kendall Landreth]

It feels bizarre because it feels like the opposite of everywhere else is trying to be like, we gotta have more gay people in our show or gay people who are desperate. We are literally like, no more lesbians.

[Jordan Myrick]

This season from gay people.

[Kendall Landreth]

No more lesbians this season. We've had enough. We've heard it. We've heard it all before. You're all the same. We're done. We need to get a Bachelorette contestant.

[Bridger Weiniger]

We need a crossover guest. Get into a bigger straight audience.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes. Do straight people listen to this podcast?

[Bridger Weiniger]

They do, but I feel like mostly gay people and women. But, like, occasionally I'll be like. A very straight person will be listening to, like, what am I saying that could possibly be appealing to you?

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure. But I love that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, of course. We welcome everybody.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Except for all the people I don't like, but that's a whole other thing.

[Kendall Landreth]

You welcome them, though.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Come on.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, if your enemy listened to this, you wouldn't like it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I would love nothing more. Leave a review, Enemy. I actually, the network is telling me, remind people, leave reviews. Leave reviews for their podcast as well. Everybody. People love that. And we still have merch. These are things I never talk about on the podcast. And I'm bad at the general business aspect.

[Jordan Myrick]

Can I tell you one thing that's also helpful?

[Bridger Weiniger]

What?

[Jordan Myrick]

We didn't know this until recently, but Spotify told this to us. People can follow your podcast on Spotify. Oh, I can just rate and review and listen. It's actively helpful if you follow the podcast on Spotify or Apple Music or whatever. So make sure this is a great podcast. Everyone that's listening, make sure you go wherever you're listening and you follow the podcast on whatever program you're listening through.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And happy wife, happy life.

[Jordan Myrick]

Thank you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

These things should come with a handbook or something. Nobody knows that, truly. Okay, this is how we play Gift or a Curse. Okay, I'm gonna name three things you're going to tell me if they're a gift or a curse and why. And then I'll tell if you're right or wrong because there are correct answers.

[Kendall Landreth]

Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

All right. This first one is from our mega tier of listeners, from a listener named Peter. Gift or a curse. Saying that's funny, but not actually laughing.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's a curse, but it's what I do. I don't know how to stop myself from doing that.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think it's a curse, but it's fine for me. I think it's a curse that comes from being a comedian for the last 12, 13 years. So now I hear things and I process them and go, that's funny. But I'm not like, ha, ha ha. Because it's not catching me off guard.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Mm.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah. I think the only thing that can really catch me off guard is, like, physical comedy.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

Like, someone. And I'm sorry I've talked about this so much recently, but I'm a big Mr. Bean fan and, like, that'll make me laugh out loud. Cause I don't know where he's gonna drive next.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I was gonna get a turkey on his head.

[Kendall Landreth]

Right. That makes me laugh. But for the most part, I feel like stuff. I'm like. Like when you think so much about how to write a joke and what to say, you kind of know what people are gonna say. Kinda like how chess players are. They, like, know the next move. I'm so smart. I'm like, I'm a comedy genius. But I do that. I think once I'm like, my social battery's done, I will start really being like, that's funny. That's funny. And I've stopped laughing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But you're saying curse. Curse.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think curse.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Correct. Yeah, yeah, curse. I mean, it's a bad thing to do. Yeah. And I'm in the same boat here. I feel like I get it most from standups.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Standups will not laugh. They just say, that's funny. And it's an unsettling feeling.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, they're objectively bad people.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They're all. Every single one of them should be in prison, on an island not just a regular prison.

[Jordan Myrick]

Alcatraz.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah, Alcatraz. Let's reopen.

[Kendall Landreth]

It would love it. They would put on open mics every night. They wouldn't even notice.

[Jordan Myrick]

They do the same material over and over.

[Kendall Landreth]

They'd run in and go, oh, I just made. I haven't come up with anything. And then do the same stuff they've done for 10 years. And they would let me. They wouldn't even notice they were there.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Horrible feeling when someone just says, that's funny. Yeah, you need some sort of reaction.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Curse. Good job.

[Jordan Myrick]

Thank you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, number two, this is from a listener named John. Gift or a curse? Speed limit signs that say something like 19 miles per hour.

[Jordan Myrick]

I've literally never even seen that. What are you talking about?

[Kendall Landreth]

I guess like a curse because you're in an alternate universe and you need to get out.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, it's a curse because you are in Kankakee, Illinois. Seeing that. You're not seeing that in a place you want to be.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, speed limit signs in general are a curse because I'm blowing down the freeway.

[Jordan Myrick]

I disagree.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, I have my hazard lights on.

[Jordan Myrick]

Police. Police. I disagree.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, I think. I think it should be 40 miles an hour or whatever it is. And you have to go that exact number. Maybe one below, one over. But I don't like, did you know, I'm sure you do police officers, they can pull you over if you're going the speed limit. Because you could be going not with the speed of traffic, but they can also pull you over if you're going 10 over the speed limit with the speed of traffic. It's just whatever they decide.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, yeah, of course it's bad. But I do find myself often wishing there were more speed limit signs. Cause sometimes I'm just driving and all of a sudden I'm like, wait, what.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Speed should I be driving?

[Jordan Myrick]

Should I supposed to be going? So I think Kendall and I are saying curse on this one.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's a gift.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, it's not.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's an absolute gift.

[Jordan Myrick]

Have you experienced this?

[Bridger Weiniger]

You've seen these? I haven't seen the 19 miles an hour, but I've seen the 12s. I've seen the. Well, 15 is kind of common.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, it's always accompanied by a sign that says slow. Kids at play. Get your kids out of the fucking street. Kids at play.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Why? Or get em in a car.

[Kendall Landreth]

Right?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Get em a license.

[Jordan Myrick]

Buy your kids a car.

[Kendall Landreth]

That's like putting a sign up in like a tattoo parlor and be like, don't curse Kids at play. Why are they playing in here? It's dangerous. Get your kids out of the street.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, it's a gift. It's a nice little challenge. How often do we think about driving 12 miles an hour? I've seen them for 12, 8, and those are probably the two that I've seen.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm gonna see them everywhere now, but I swear to you, I've never seen one before.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Probably in parking lots. Frequently in parking structures. You'll see a 12 tawny neighborhoods.

[Jordan Myrick]

We're leaving here, and we're going to a parking structure to see if we can find one. Because I've never seen this or heard of this.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I love it. And it's just a strange kind of uncanny thing to see. It's like that should say 35. Why does that say eight?

[Kendall Landreth]

Right.

[Jordan Myrick]

Wow. Okay.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And it, you know, it's creating jobs, making people have to make these signs the eight miles an hour.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, this. Yeah. The same people that make the 25 mile signs can't make the 8 mile signs.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, it's different colleges.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. It's a whole different thing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Different strategies raised in a different way, basically. Absolutely. Okay, so you've gotten one right so far. One wrong. And this final one is from a listener named Rebecca. Gift. Or a curse. Couples who hold hands across the table at restaurants while waiting for their meals to come.

[Jordan Myrick]

Gift. And I'm sure that they're gonna say curse, but sorry. Kendall and I love each other. Back off.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Do you two hold hands across the table?

[Jordan Myrick]

We hold hands all the time.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, that's so sweet.

[Kendall Landreth]

Across. I love to hold hands across the table.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's very sweet.

[Jordan Myrick]

We hold hands across the table and make direct eye contact and just chat and sing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Harmonize.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

We've known to do that.

[Jordan Myrick]

I think it's such a gift. What's wrong with that? Now, I don't think you should be impeding the waiter in any way, shape, or form. As soon as a waiter even comes hands. Kendall and I are fully hands up away from the table. Never interfere with a waiter doing their job.

[Kendall Landreth]

Whatever you say can be used against you. And for. Yeah, that's how I'm.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The waiter's holding a gun.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes, yes. And we should give waiters guns. They deserve that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They really do. Those are the one category of people who should get to have a gun.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes, absolutely. Service workers both waited tables for a long time, and I could have used a gun.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I would have used a gun every night.

[Jordan Myrick]

100%, but. So I think holding is great. But you just have to be aware of your surroundings still. But I think this person is going to say Kirk.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, the person is me.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, wait. The person tell you it's you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

These people don't know. That's why they're writing in. They need to. They need to be set straight.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay. I would have been arguing more if I'd known it was just you.

[Bridger Weiniger]

We can go back. I'm happy to fight over these other two.

[Jordan Myrick]

Listen, we'll talk about this off the pod. Okay? What is this one?

[Bridger Weiniger]

This is a gift. I've got nothing. I have nothing against people holding hands with each other.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's because you're in love, too.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It says you're in love and. Oh, did you say it's because you're in love? Oh, because I'm in love. Yeah. It's a nice thing to see. And sometimes it is a nice little sign that you're looking at some annoying people.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And why not have a little red flag at the restaurant? I think it's a perfect gift, holding hands when you're sitting on the same side of the booth and nobody's on the other side. That's where I feel like we've gone into new dimension.

[Jordan Myrick]

It doesn't make sense.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Someone's trapped. One of the people in the relationship is trapped against the.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's also like, you're not. You don't want to talk because the way to talk is looking at each other. So it's like you don't want to talk. You just want to be physically close. And I think that means there's something wrong with your relationship.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The marriage is on the skids. You're trying to figure out who's going to take the kids and who's going to take the boat.

[Jordan Myrick]

To me, it feels like you're in middle school. You have nothing to say to each other, but you want to be physically close.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes. Yeah, but across the table. Why not? But don't get in the way. Especially if a sizzling fajitas is on its way down to the table.

[Jordan Myrick]

You know it is.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Someone's gonna get burned.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yes.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, I will say we don't hold hands when we go get fajitas. No, that's more of a. That's not a date. That's. We're not messing around. When I go to salsa and beer, it's my favorite restaurant.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I want to go there so bad. People rave about this place. Please.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's my favorite restaurant in la. Frozen margaritas the size of my head. Salsa and They've never judged me I say extra sour cream. They're giving me. They have beans when you get there.

[Jordan Myrick]

They immediately give you beans. When you sit down at the table.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Beans and chips. Okay, now no beans and a spoon.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. Beans in a gun.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Figure it out. I am gonna push back a little. I have a rule about when people recommend a Mexican restaurant, and the first thing they say is they have amazing margaritas. I think that's not a good Mexican restaurant.

[Kendall Landreth]

You know what?

[Bridger Weiniger]

But I've heard enough about salsa and beer that I'm willing to trust you.

[Jordan Myrick]

Listen. Can I tell you why you're wrong? Cause I work a lot in food. And I do think you're wrong. Because I think that it depends on what you're looking for. If you want the best street taco you're ever gonna have, go get it from a taco truck. But if you want kind of like salsa and beer. Almost starts to verge on Tex Mex. You're getting huge margaritas. Frozen margaritas. Passion fruit frozen margarita. Giant. They have have their sodas come in the red plastic cup that you get.

[Bridger Weiniger]

In the red plastic cup.

[Kendall Landreth]

Everything tastes better in that one sip. They refill. I had 17 Diet Cokes at one time.

[Jordan Myrick]

Honestly, we're leave here and go there. It is so good. And huge portions. Incredible salsa bar. Salsas that are actually hot. They're house pickling their own jalapenos and carrots.

[Kendall Landreth]

Every table seats 90 people.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And do you have access to the salsa bar? Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Salsa bars are almost extinct at this.

[Jordan Myrick]

Point because everybody thinks bars and buffets are nasty. And you know what?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wonderful.

[Jordan Myrick]

If I have to take in a little bit of someone's sneeze to get the most delicious salsa in an unlimited quantity, I'll do it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Give it to you.

[Kendall Landreth]

I will lose it. If they ever. If these idiots. And I'm a germaphobe. I swear. I grew up. I had separate silverware for my family. I wouldn't eat at a table with my family.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow.

[Kendall Landreth]

But if I'm at a Ruby Tuesdays, if they ever take those salad bars away, it's over. It's the only good salad that's ever existed is a Ruby Tuesday's buffet salad.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I've never enjoyed their salad bar.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's. Wow.

[Kendall Landreth]

You've never enjoyed a salad then.

[Bridger Weiniger]

So good Heat salad.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's Mexican blend cheese.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's all just. It's like ranch.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Truly not. There's no lettuce inside.

[Jordan Myrick]

Romaine lettuce. And then the rest of it is all just cheese. Canned chickpeas, sausage. Boiled eggs, ham, ranch, bacon bits, corn.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow. Well, you got two out of three. Three. Not too bad.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'll take it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's a C. And Annalise has their gift. Or a curse. Now they're going to. Now, this is where it gets tricky, because neither of us. Anneliese, has the final answer here. It's to really prove, you know, give a fairness to the podcast. Yeah.

[Jordan Myrick]

And Annalies, remember that you have a connection to Kendall.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

We're kind of from the same.

[Jordan Myrick]

And to me, maybe. I'm sure you and I could connect on something.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Meanwhile, Annaliese is just constantly trying to take over the podcast and get rid of me, so who knows?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, we got that. 5.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, what is it?

[Jordan Myrick]

Gift or a curse?

[Kendall Landreth]

Brushing your teeth in the kitchen sink. Curse.

[Jordan Myrick]

Curse. Illegal. What? That's the only. You only do that when you have company in town and they're staying with you and they're using the bathroom for so long, and you're like, no, no, no, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine. And then you have to go, like, brush your teeth in the kitchen sink because you love your company. But other than that. What?

[Kendall Landreth]

And don't ever do it. I don't want to see anyone brushing their teeth. That's a private thing. That's a secret. You don't want people knowing you're brushing your teeth. When someone walks out of the room and they're trying to talk to me about brushing their teeth, I want to vomit. It is so gross. Don't show people that.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's private.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, gifts.

[Kendall Landreth]

But, you know, I'm a gift. Come on.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's a little vacation. It's a little. We're traveling to a new country to brush our teeth. I like to get a little nasty when I'm brushing my teeth.

[Jordan Myrick]

What if there's dishes in the.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, I'm going for it. Speaking of lemon. Putting a lemon in the. A lemon in the disposal. When you spit your toothpaste in there, there's a little like, I'm making that fresh.

[Jordan Myrick]

No, it would have to be a completely empty and recently cleaned sink.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Absolutely not. Absolutely not. On occasion. Late night with the toothbrush in the kitchen sink. You've got just the oven light on. It's a little bit more romantic. It's not quite as medical as the bathroom washing should be medical.

[Jordan Myrick]

This is horrible.

[Kendall Landreth]

These are your bones.

[Jordan Myrick]

These are your. Gay men want to act like they're different than straight men, but they are just a whisper away from being the same damn thing.

[Kendall Landreth]

Every gay man, I go into their house, I go, you know what? Actually, first of all, buy a plate. Why do you have no plates? Everything is disgusting. I'm like, you are just as much. I don't like that we gave you guys a TV show where you give makeovers. Because I think it's literally.

[Jordan Myrick]

You're brushing your teeth in the kitchen sink. Apologize.

[Kendall Landreth]

You're not right.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I refuse. And I'll tell you something else I've been doing recently.

[Jordan Myrick]

No.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Brushing my teeth and bed.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, that doesn't make any sense.

[Jordan Myrick]

It doesn't make sense. Where are you spitting it? Under the covers.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I believe I have my electric toothbrush. Two full minutes, you know? Yes. And rather than standing in the bathroom, I go lie down on the sink and just go. My boyfriend hates it so much.

[Kendall Landreth]

Your poor boyfriend. It's like, he can come live with.

[Jordan Myrick]

Us if he needs to.

[Kendall Landreth]

Sick.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm telling people, try brushing if you have an electric toothbrush. I can't imagine doing the manual, you know, analyze. But electric in bed. I'm all for it, but at least analog.

[Kendall Landreth]

It's not. That's not the correct.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's analog clock.

[Bridger Weiniger]

This podcast has the final word on toothbrush terminology.

[Kendall Landreth]

A manual toothbrush. You're not. When someone's using an electric tooth. I'm a manual guy. My dentist every time is like, stop. You're gonna.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, oh, I thought your dentist was encouraging. I was like, who is this dentist?

[Kendall Landreth]

No, he's always like, why do you not have an electric toothbrush? I'm like, cause I'm old school. Whenever someone's using electric toothbrush, brush. Jordan is like this. It is spraying at me like a sprinkle.

[Jordan Myrick]

It's like sucking on a vibrator. You're like.

[Kendall Landreth]

Every time. I'm like, what? This is horrible.

[Jordan Myrick]

Like, I would rather you just get.

[Kendall Landreth]

Dentures by the time you're 60 like a normal person and not spray me like, I'm on a.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You gotta get into it. I fought it for years, and now it's changed everything. I'm in bed with the toothbrush.

[Jordan Myrick]

I will say I have to commend you for doing the full two minutes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Thank you.

[Kendall Landreth]

You have a timer.

[Bridger Weiniger]

It's one of the few things. And now I'm like, see, maybe I don't have adhd. I'm able to pay attention for two minutes to a toothbrush.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Kendall Landreth]

No, you get in bed probably to watch TV because you can't stand in.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Front of a mirror. I'm considering doing it in the yard.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, well, that's good. That's taking in a little fresh air. That's reconnecting with nature.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I'm going to start brushing teeth in the backyard and see what happens.

[Kendall Landreth]

That feels fine.

[Jordan Myrick]

That feels fine. The kitchen sink is. That's a curse.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I think you should be able to pee in public, too. I think peeing in the yard.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I've been talking about this recently. I said 2025. Public urination is what's big in 2025.

[Kendall Landreth]

Because that is. I'm all for the. I'm not trying to say no to government, but where I pee, that should be no one's business.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Dogs are doing it.

[Kendall Landreth]

Right. And people who have penises are doing it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I saw a guy yesterday in Glendale on my way to Joanne fabric. I almost took a video because I wanted to prove to people.

[Kendall Landreth]

Now that should be illegal. You should not be able to film people peeing.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I had to prove that public urination is a hot topic. And then he went into his work, which is.

[Jordan Myrick]

He went into his work where they have a bathroom.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I know. I wonder if a customer was in there. Sometimes, you know what? You get desperate.

[Jordan Myrick]

I don't like public urination, but I do like Joanne's fabrics. So I'm split on what you're saying.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And Joanne's going out of business.

[Jordan Myrick]

Devastating. I know. My mom and I have plans to go on Monday to get some stuff from the discount.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The discounts are still not quite where you want them. Yeah, they're like 20%. Are you kidding me? That's a regular sale. That's less than their coupons.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's true.

[Kendall Landreth]

That's how they get you. JCPenney does the same thing.

[Jordan Myrick]

Macy's does it with a one day sale. But Joanne's really is closing.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, I know.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Shut down.

[Kendall Landreth]

JCPenney's needs to do the same thing because I feel like JCPenney's has been shutting down for 15 years.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Every time I walk in there, they're like, 1997.

[Kendall Landreth]

They have no stuff.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Serious.

[Kendall Landreth]

But when you go into JCPenney's, they'll be like, the jeans are 40% off, but the original price would have been like $250. I'm like, what?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

JCPenney at one point experimented with no sales when they had Allen as a spokesperson. They tried this new thing where they're like, things will just be cheap and, like, you'll never have to worry about a sale. Of course they're. No one's shopped there for, like, years because they're like, oh, you can't get anything on sale. That's why you go to JCPenney to get a sale.

[Kendall Landreth]

People are really stupid, though, because my mom always talks about how she used to work at Dillard's and they. I don't remember if it was the whole state would do it. There'd be like a no tax day.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

And she would be like, people would be lining up like it's Black Friday, of course, at 5am to get into the no tax. But in reality, it's like a 2% sale.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You're not getting that much off.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I once won an evening gown from Dillard's.

[Jordan Myrick]

Say more.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The first Dillard's that opened in Utah, they. In the newspaper, they had like a bunch of little things you could fill out for a contest. And my brother and I filled out every single one of them, obviously hoping we would win something that made sense for us. We were in middle school.

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't know why you were going.

[Jordan Myrick]

And it ended up working for you and it taught you something about yourself.

[Bridger Weiniger]

If it happened 20 years later, I would be. The dress would have been mine.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But we won the evening gown, so my mom got it, which is nice.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, that's sweet.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But I wanted back to school clothes.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Dillard's really ripped me off. I haven't shopped there since.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's must have been really hard for you. That's true. That's not true.

[Kendall Landreth]

They cannot keep me out of there.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Department stores are hard for small men.

[Jordan Myrick]

Well, hey, most stores are also hard for big women. Kendall and I are both really talented.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Stores hate anything that's not just whatever they've decided to as a person.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. How tall are you?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Five, six. Okay, so if I want to go to a store and feel like, oh, they. I'm like a. A normal sized person. I have to go to Japan. Sure. Otherwise, like, I go into a department store, they start at medium.

[Kendall Landreth]

You still have more options than us when we go to Japan. People scream scary.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Get out.

[Kendall Landreth]

You walk into a store, they just immediately say, absolutely not.

[Jordan Myrick]

They say, there are no clothes for you here. White Godzilla. Get out of here.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, it's. I guess shopping in general is just a nightmare.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Except for some mystical person that I'll never be.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's why I love shoes and bags.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, interesting. Much more.

[Jordan Myrick]

Doesn't matter. Your body can do whatever it needs to do as it ages. Shoes could change a little bit, obviously, but like, shoes and bags, generally pretty good bets.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You get to a certain foot size and you're there.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Unless Something tragic or strange happens.

[Jordan Myrick]

Pregnancy can change. You know, they can get swollen, but.

[Kendall Landreth]

Then they never go back. Like your fingers when you get pregnant. I heard your fingers grow and your feet grow, and they don't go back. It's not why I'm not having a baby.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I wish I could get pregnant.

[Jordan Myrick]

Oh, my God. That's just what you need. Huge hands. Huge hands, huge feet. Same size body.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay, Annalise, did he answer it? The tall sapphics have it.

[Jordan Myrick]

It is a curse. It is a curse.

[Kendall Landreth]

There are bathroom germs, and there are kitchen germs.

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay?

[Kendall Landreth]

And never the RFK shall me.

[Jordan Myrick]

I agree with you, though.

[Kendall Landreth]

How dare you? But, you know, I'm hypocritical, though, because I'm like, mop water in the sink. Dog washed in the sink.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, yeah, it's.

[Kendall Landreth]

But brushing your teeth too much.

[Jordan Myrick]

But you're 100% right. And Bridger's so wrong.

[Bridger Weiniger]

No, we're cutting all this audio. This will just be kind of.

[Jordan Myrick]

I'm quitting the podcast with this information.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I can't believe it. Now I win. This is. This was my plan all along. I just wanted you to break up with me and Grasshopper.

[Kendall Landreth]

People don't brush their teeth. They just rub a rock against them. That's how it works.

[Jordan Myrick]

They do whatever their cult leader lets them do.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, we need to answer a listener question. We have a bunch of voice notes. Now let's roll one of these. Hey, Bridger, I'm a big fan, and I think I speak for your whole listenership when I say that we cherish you, so please keep it up. There we go.

[Kendall Landreth]

I have gotten into a crazy habit.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Of listening to I said no Gifts two times in a row. When it's over, I'll play it a second time.

[Kendall Landreth]

And I think it provides such a.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Perfect level of escapism and gives me the feeling of being a ghost. Hope we're all learning something, and I love you. So my question is, what is your karaoke song?

[Jordan Myrick]

Okay, that's a fake video that you had someone sent in.

[Kendall Landreth]

That is your voice picture.

[Jordan Myrick]

That's your voice and homage. That was not a real question, first of all. Second of all, that person does have severe generalized anxiety disorder. If they're watching something and then immediately watching it again. Because I do that with TV shows.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I paid for that on Cameo.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, that was Patti LuPone.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Do not say your name.

[Jordan Myrick]

Patty. She does incredible stuff with her voice.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Do you want to go first, or should I go first?

[Jordan Myrick]

You go first.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wait.

[Jordan Myrick]

You're so Beloved, you have to go first.

[Kendall Landreth]

Stop pretending you're thinking you've had the.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Same karaoke I bet on. Okay, Actually, you should go, because I can't sing karaoke, so I actually have to think about things. What do you mean? I'm a horrible singer.

[Kendall Landreth]

Me too.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, so are we.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But, like, no, you're not a bad girl. A bad level where they're like, please don't, okay? You're ruining everyone's fun. Okay, I'm gonna try to think of one. Anyway.

[Kendall Landreth]

I did karaoke one time, and I.

[Bridger Weiniger]

One time done it one time, which.

[Kendall Landreth]

Is insane because it's the exact type of thing I would like to do.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Right?

[Kendall Landreth]

And I went. And I thought I was a little drunk, but I was like, I'm gonna do Boyfriend by Justin Bieber. More of a rap, really. And my head was like, people are gonna lose their minds. And I was so confident. I wasn't nervous at all. I went up. First of all, it's the longest song that's ever been written. I'm pretty sure people were so upset and disappointed, which is why I don't like doing karaoke in la. Cause I feel like everyone who goes is, like, a professional singer.

[Bridger Weiniger]

They came here with a talent.

[Kendall Landreth]

That is so embarrassing. Not to be rude. If you're a good singer and you, like, go to karaoke all the time to show you're good at singing, that's like the girl at the sleepover who makes everyone, like, turn around while she sings. That is so embarrassing. I'm like, either get a record deal or go be a motherfucker.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yeah. Don't drag us through this. Your little party trick.

[Kendall Landreth]

So I didn't like that because I feel like my vibe. I'm like, that's the vibe of karaoke is going and singing a silly song.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Being a little bit messy.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That was the one time you did, though.

[Kendall Landreth]

I was traumatized. I could hear how drunk I sounded, too. Cause it was in the mic, and I just remember being like, everyone is so annoyed by me. And then a girl came up and sang I will always love you perfectly. And I was like, what is that?

[Bridger Weiniger]

What's the fun in that? Shooting fish in a barrel.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, I'm like, audition for the voice. What are you doing?

[Jordan Myrick]

I have two, depending on who I'm with. The way by Fastball.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay. Oh, yeah. Of course.

[Jordan Myrick]

It is for a specific audience, and I need to be pretty drunk. And everyone else also needs to know that song. It's vibe heavy or Proud Mary.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, Proud Mary's a good One that seems like a classic karaoke.

[Jordan Myrick]

I love Proud Mary. And everybody loves it and everybody knows it, and people know the dance. So, like, that's one that I feel like you could do more in mixed company because, like, everybody loves and knows Proud Mary. So everyone's gonna join in with you. Cause I don't want to be doing karaoke to be watched. I want to be, like, closed in a room in Koreatown in New York with just, like, eight people that I, like, did an improv show with. We're all drunk. Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes. Who's the way for, like, you're drunk.

[Jordan Myrick]

But maybe it's, like, sadder. Like, you just did, like, a. You just had, like, a going away party, and now you're all going out to karaoke.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That song falls in the same category as closing time.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, but it's better energy than that, right? And also, like, yeah, it's like Proud Mary once again can be with anyone. The way by Fastball needs to be 38 plus. Because also, once again, I don't want to do it alone. But it's a fun song because a lot of people forget about it and they forget how much they like it and that it is a good and fun song. So it comes on and people are like, oh, my God, I forgot about this song. And that's a fun energy, too.

[Bridger Weiniger]

That's a great one. I mean, listen, the first thing I was going to say was Away in a Manger, Literally.

[Jordan Myrick]

What are you talking about?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I get it.

[Kendall Landreth]

Honestly.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, obviously not. But that was the first thing that popped into my mind. I thought, what a great karaoke song that would be. Get up in front of a group of people that are looking to have a good time, and suddenly, Away in a manger. What is anyone doing in the audience? My dream karaoke song. If I could sing Deborah by Beck. Do you know the song?

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I mean, it is, to me, seems like a perfect karaoke song.

[Jordan Myrick]

But nobody else is going to know that for the most part.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But they love it. Everyone loves that song the first time they hear it. And it, like, it has funny lyrics and incredible beats. Like, everything. It's like, kind of weird and tawdry. Talks about JCPenney and Glendale.

[Kendall Landreth]

Come on. People are gonna lose their mind.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Maybe I'll start taking singing lessons so I can do it.

[Jordan Myrick]

Do it.

[Bridger Weiniger]

But I think that would be my dream. And then I've. In the past, I've sung Private Dancer.

[Jordan Myrick]

Fun.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Tina Turner, Breaking the Law by Judas Priest. That's an easy one. You're just Screaming, yeah, Angels Among Us. I did that one once and it felt like a hit. I wish I could sing.

[Jordan Myrick]

Sure.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I feel like that. I answered it. Listen, I gave everybody a new idea. Away in a way. In a Manger is the next big karaoke hit, I guess.

[Kendall Landreth]

Well, gospel music is, you know, I wish I was.

[Bridger Weiniger]

I don't know if I would call.

[Kendall Landreth]

Music. What would you call it?

[Jordan Myrick]

I would call it a hymnal.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Yes. A Christmas.

[Jordan Myrick]

No. I would not call it gossip music.

[Bridger Weiniger]

You feel the soul in a way.

[Kendall Landreth]

If you don't think Pentatonix has done a cover.

[Jordan Myrick]

I do. Then I would not call Pentatonix gospel music either.

[Kendall Landreth]

Kendall, I will tell you, I'm so easily convinced of stuff. I'm not religious, but anytime any religious song shows up on my TikTok, I am like, hands up like I am. There's no more. A choir singing could get me to do anything.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah, but no choir is singing away in a manger except for a children's choir.

[Kendall Landreth]

I like that.

[Jordan Myrick]

For a children's hospital where all the kids are really sick. Like no real choir is seen. I got.

[Kendall Landreth]

I got in so much trouble. When I was four years old, we went to a Christmas party. My. We don't see these relatives anymore. But they were my Alabama relatives.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Okay.

[Kendall Landreth]

My dad's side of the family. Bible belt. Religious, just. But also religious. But I mean, breaking every law.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Sure, sure.

[Kendall Landreth]

They were not nice people. People. But we go to their. We'd go every year for Christmas and all the girls would come up and they'd sing a Bible song. You call it Bible song.

[Jordan Myrick]

A Bible song.

[Kendall Landreth]

I don't know. It was some of the worst ones too. I'm like, sing. They have some good ones. They would sing like away in the main.

[Bridger Weiniger]

There's some real snoozes.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah. And I got up there and I was just like trying to. I was like, okay. Sing a Christmas song. Christmas song. I was four years old and I screamed, feliz Navidad. My dad's side of the family was. Was horrified. They could not. They said, she's speaking Spanish. We've never heard this before. We're terrified. My mom thought it was so funny. And yeah, that was kind of our last Christmas with them because they were.

[Jordan Myrick]

Too racist to keep doing Christmas.

[Kendall Landreth]

I mean, they literally were like horrified, which is great. Look, I remember thinking it was funny. Cuz I think in my head as a kid, I was like, oh. Cuz it was just different. Looking back, they were really just like, stop speaking Spanish at Christmas. Which Is insane.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Demonic Demon.

[Kendall Landreth]

Demonic. Yeah, they were.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Wow. Good riddance. Enjoy your boring Christmases.

[Jordan Myrick]

Yeah. Feliz Navidad is fun. If you're so racist that you don't like Feliz Navidad, there's something dark in your heart. Lock yourself in a basement and die to me.

[Kendall Landreth]

Because at 4, I remember going, okay, there's like, three Christmas songs. There's like, Jingle Bells, Away in a Manger, and Feliz Navidad. Like, that is the Christmas song, right?

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, ask your cousins.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yeah, I can speak to them.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Do you?

[Kendall Landreth]

They're the only reason I have Facebook, though, to keep up with.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Oh, to just watch it unfold. That's what my temptation with Facebook. I'm like, maybe I should get back on so I can see the sort of bizarre behavior. But most of the people that I want to pry on from high school are only because of the way the reason I want to pry on them is because they're the sort of people who are only on Facebook.

[Jordan Myrick]

I know.

[Kendall Landreth]

Yes.

[Bridger Weiniger]

And so it becomes the cycle.

[Jordan Myrick]

But you don't need to know what they're doing. In reality, you already know what they're doing.

[Kendall Landreth]

But when. When you see a status, that's like, of course this would happen to me. 50 comments. That's better than doing cocaine. I love it. It's perfect. It's great entertainment.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Well, we answered the question perfectly. Everybody knows our karaoke songs. I've got my lemons. I've got two left. I'm probably going to have just canker sores all over my mouth. I won't be able to eat for days. Next time you see me, I'll have lost £40. Yell at you, just. But I've had such a wonderful time with you.

[Kendall Landreth]

Oh, thanks for having me.

[Jordan Myrick]

For having us.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Thank you for being here. You did a great job. You did at least a B minus. Oh, my God, no. A plus. Are you kidding me?

[Kendall Landreth]

This was such a treat. Thank you so much for having us, listener.

[Bridger Weiniger]

The podcast is over. My mouth is basically recovered. Now I'm just drinking coffee, which is also full of acid. No one knows what I'm doing with my diet. The podcast is over. I love you. Goodbye. I said no Gifts is an exactly right production. Our senior producer is Anneliese Nelson, and our episodes are beautifully mixed by Ben Tolliday. The theme song is by miracle worker Amy Mann. And we couldn't do it without our booker, Patrick Cotton. Partner, you must follow the show on Instagram at isaidnogifts. That's where you're going to see pictures of all these wonderful gifts I'm getting and don't you want to see the gifts? Thought I made myself perfectly clear.

[Jordan Myrick]

When you're a guest in my home.

[Kendall Landreth]

You gotta come to me empty and it I said no guil.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Your presence is present enough and I.

[Kendall Landreth]

Already had too much stuff so how.

[Bridger Weiniger]

Do you dare disobey me? Foreign.

Those were raisins, right?

Next time use Amazon Pharmacy.

We deliver.
