Speaker 1: I'm only a quarterway through sods he did.
Speaker 2: It got very kind of.
Speaker 1: From on what like Bratt Tomatoes and stuff. But if
Speaker 1: you say it's terrifying, I'm excited.
Speaker 2: It was pretty.
Speaker 3: Just as a reminder, Eric's little views on movies are
Speaker 3: typically in verse, U two, thank you.
Speaker 1: Just you're right, listen, eat me as much as I
Speaker 1: love this man and as much as we have in common,
Speaker 1: like are his movie?
Speaker 3: No, they seem to be in verse with society at
Speaker 3: large and not just I know.
Speaker 1: No, Like sometimes you're like, oh my god, that movie
Speaker 1: was so good. That Jennifer Lopez, that new Jennifer Lopez
Speaker 1: movie was so cute.
Speaker 5: Listen, I don't know what you're talking about. But the
Speaker 5: last few Jennifer Lopez movies have not been suck yet.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. I just remember probably like the first
Speaker 3: couple of months I started the show, and we're talking
Speaker 3: about this movie. The movie just came out. It was
Speaker 3: called like hit Man's Bodyguard or something. Oh so I've
Speaker 3: never seen a little bit of it, and it was
Speaker 3: like awful, and it was so good.
Speaker 2: So good, I don't know, and so was the sequel.
Speaker 1: It's happened to me. This has happened to me many
Speaker 1: many times. I get I know what you're saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then the New ninety Day premiered on Sunday night.
Speaker 1: It's called Before the ninety Days, and we have a
Speaker 1: whole awful Oh it's.
Speaker 2: Exciting, oh terrible.
Speaker 3: Okay, I agree with Eric on that one. Now there
Speaker 3: we go.
Speaker 1: We're gonna call my mom and then I'm going to
Speaker 1: read this story. But I'm going to read it to
Speaker 1: her so I want her to get her take on
Speaker 1: it because there's something I'm going to do after reading
Speaker 1: the story and after a gift that I got. So
Speaker 1: let me do this. Oh wait, I go right hair
Speaker 1: bo Okay, here we are and it's on roadcaster. There
Speaker 1: we go.

Speaker 2: How are you, my love?
Speaker 6: I'm fine? How are you good?
Speaker 1: Okay? So I'm going to read a story and then
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you why I'm so mad when
Speaker 1: I was halfway home from your house because I forgot
Speaker 1: to ask you something. Okay, oh oh. J simpsons cremated
Speaker 1: remains have been turned into jewelry, and his lawyer says
Speaker 1: that it was distributed among his four kids and they
Speaker 1: all have now a piece of jewelry that contain his ashes.
Speaker 1: That said, a woman that I'm doing a walk with
Speaker 1: this weekend gave me this really cool bracelet and inside
Speaker 1: the bracelet is sand red sand from like some different country.
Speaker 1: It's this cool company. So, Mom, I forgot to ask
Speaker 1: you for Dad's ashes because you said you have some
Speaker 1: for me. Still I do, because I lost my bagfull
Speaker 1: a long time ago, and that was I don't I
Speaker 1: know all the moves.
Speaker 6: That I've made thinking about some kind of jewelry that
Speaker 6: you can contain that in, but I can't. You know,
Speaker 6: it's not very you don't see that anywhere.
Speaker 1: Well, I think what they do is they can make
Speaker 1: it into like a like a stone, and you can
Speaker 1: wear it is a ring, or you can wear it
Speaker 1: like this heart that I have has the sand in it,
Speaker 1: and maybe would that creepy? Is that creepy cool?
Speaker 6: I'm a kind of thinking of a heart that would
Speaker 6: be cool.
Speaker 1: Would you want a necklace, a ring or a bracelet?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm thinking about you, you guys, you and Jenny mostly, Well.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the three of us because that's
Speaker 1: how it goes. Yeah, so what do you want? I'll

Speaker 1: get that. Oh can you mail ashes through the mail?
Speaker 2: Probably?
Speaker 5: Well, yeah you can't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they send them.

Speaker 1: did with Evan and her boyfriend when they were here
Speaker 1: and I had them help me read they Her boyfriend
Speaker 1: was laughing so hard he could not breathe, and I
Speaker 1: literally was doing the best job I could and they
Speaker 1: were dying. Now this is the best take we got.
Speaker 1: I think it's the first one, the one where I'm
Speaker 1: stumbling to the couch. Okay, So the direction they give
Speaker 1: you kind of direction on what they're looking for. They
Speaker 1: give you a little bit of a backstory about what
Speaker 1: character you're playing. So if this is the first one,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I'm playing like kind of a rough and
Speaker 1: tumble friend who's there for her friend and who's a
Speaker 1: little bit on the harder side and kind.
Speaker 2: Of from the wrong side of the track.
Speaker 1: No, oh, it's like my she's my goddaughter or something.
Speaker 1: She's in the hospital and I'm like incensed and I
Speaker 1: have to They wanted to see my physical comedy or
Speaker 1: my physical illness in this act, and that's when the
Speaker 1: laughing happened. So I'll let you know if I got
Speaker 1: a call back on this one, because this one was
Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks ago, ringing. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to say anything yet. I want you to see them first,

Speaker 3: one first, because the one you're thinking, what am I wearing?
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what that is.
Speaker 3: This one is you and looks like the newsroom with
Speaker 3: a tan long sleeve.
Speaker 1: Oh I oh, this one. I think I'm a mom. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm a mom in an office and I'm talking to
Speaker 1: my assistant.

Speaker 1: seeing thank you.
Speaker 8: Okay, so you didn't come yesterday.
Speaker 2: Okay, it wasn't too bad.
Speaker 1: I noticed the first part. It looked like I was reading,
Speaker 1: because I was reading. I mean, I don't memorize that.
Speaker 1: I've tried to put it out. But that wasn't like horrific.
Speaker 2: No, I have to say I didn't well that one.
Speaker 1: That one was fairly h recent. So we'll see. I
Speaker 1: haven't gotten a call back yet.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Now, if this one is the one where I'm in
Speaker 1: the green sweatshirt, this one, I'm smoking a joint with
Speaker 1: my friends and we're in a cabin and we're on
Speaker 1: the porch, and actually it's we're the same character, but
Speaker 1: I'm the I'm the more tough version of this girl.
Speaker 1: Got it here we go? Look at me, look at me. Smoke.
Speaker 1: I rolled up. I rolled up a napkin to make
Speaker 1: it look like a blunt.
Speaker 8: Since what fucking dad's funeral?
Speaker 1: You know, writing about it does make it better, Definitely.
Speaker 1: Who would have thought I'd end up being the outdoors type.
Speaker 1: It's really nice peace and quiet sometime to think and
Speaker 1: be with myself.
Speaker 8: No pun intended. Yep, that he's trying to fuck you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, every single fucking time I interrupt with him,
Speaker 1: I can't help but.
Speaker 8: Think he's trying to get something out of him.
Speaker 1: He's all touchy, feeling and shit, and I catch him
Speaker 1: staring at me way too often. I'm telling you, he
Speaker 1: wants to fuck me, you us, Why don't you? Or
Speaker 1: do you really think he does?
Speaker 8: And you're just, you.
Speaker 1: Know, doing that thing you always do, acting like you
Speaker 1: got low self esteem, feeling sorry for you, beating yourself up.
Speaker 8: Oh stop it, who do you think you're talking to?
Speaker 8: We do that? You do that often. I think I
Speaker 8: like the validation I know too much, like an open book.
Speaker 1: Then again, sometimes I don't know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 1: I look at you and I get an empty page.
Speaker 1: Maybe we're long lost twins.
Speaker 8: You never know. It's a small world.
Speaker 1: Okay, critique thoughts, now, come on now, tell.
Speaker 3: Me, okay, the first one was better?
Speaker 1: Really I thought that one was better. Don't feel okay,
Speaker 1: come on you that this is what I wanted a
Speaker 1: freaking I'm about to give you some okay, trying to
Speaker 1: count on yourself, and please tell me.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out your other club, which may
Speaker 3: be corrupting the one you sent me on. Now Okay, I.
Speaker 1: Think tell me the just I know you'll be blunt
Speaker 1: with me, but also don't be to me on purpose.
Speaker 3: I think the first one was better. I thought the
Speaker 3: script was pretty awful, but I thought your delivery was okay.
Speaker 3: The second one was. I think there are moments whe
Speaker 3: you do Okay, I think again, the script is a
Speaker 3: little weird.
Speaker 1: Do I overact a little bit? Oh? Okay, I got
Speaker 1: to tone it down a little bit.
Speaker 5: I would say you will by at least like especially
Speaker 5: since you were stoned you were, I should have been
Speaker 5: more chillen.
Speaker 3: I didn't buy the fact you were stone either, Okay,
Speaker 3: but I don't know like it was. They weren't terrible,
Speaker 3: They're fine, Okay. Second one had moments where I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: I could see that, like that kind of feels real.
Speaker 3: And then there are other moments from like and she's
Speaker 3: acting again.
Speaker 1: Okay. Now, if this one works, this one either has
Speaker 1: Evan in the background reading mydlines or WHOI and stop
Speaker 1: looking at your phone watch this all right?
Speaker 3: This is the last one.
Speaker 1: And this was filmed actually in my actual home, not
Speaker 1: at work, where I shouldn't be doing these foditions, but
Speaker 1: I do. After my shift. But I'm like alone and
Speaker 1: I have peace and quiet. I can do these things. Sure,
Speaker 1: it's worth giving it a shot, right absolutely, And all
Speaker 1: these things come on backstage. Anybody can be on backstage.
Speaker 2: At Academy Awards, just within reach.
Speaker 1: That's not really one of my goals. Like I said,
Speaker 1: on my bucket list, what is on our bucket list?
Speaker 2: It's my goal.
Speaker 1: I want to we want to be in a blockbuster film,
Speaker 1: but we'll be dead bodies if we have to.
Speaker 3: We don't really care.
Speaker 2: I don't listen to hang a toe tag on that tho.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna work.
Speaker 1: Oh no, well okay, then it's not gonna work. It's alright, No,
Speaker 1: this one was the funniest one I believe.
Speaker 3: Actually, maybe I can fix it if you guys, we
Speaker 3: can back later.
Speaker 1: Okay, So all right, let's talk about Is there anything
Speaker 1: you want to talk about? Is there anything that's going
Speaker 1: on in your life besides the Chris Hemsworth thing?

Speaker 1: Is it named? Is all this stuff just stuff?
Speaker 2: Brands that you've never heard of before?
Speaker 1: See, I won't be able to go there.
Speaker 2: No, No, all right, Well, well you know what these shoes?
Speaker 8: Oh?

Speaker 1: I don't know what that was.
Speaker 2: I thought we were having an earthquake. I was like, bye, I.
Speaker 1: Know we did something well down, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was like by everybody see you?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: All right, okay, here we go, Oh, here we go. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this is like my comedic shot. Here we go.
Speaker 8: I am so sorry that I'm laid.
Speaker 1: I had a stopping a gas and then traffic was
Speaker 1: backed up, and then some douche nozzle was texting while driving.
Speaker 8: Ugly crying in the parking lot for twenty minutes. No,
Speaker 8: maybe this is why I told her not to tell you.
Speaker 8: I am her best friend.
Speaker 1: I should have been the first person that she told.
Speaker 1: In fact, I should have been there holding her hand
Speaker 1: when she was told. All I'm saying is you don't
Speaker 1: handle Stuss very well.
Speaker 8: What about you? How you had this, kiddo?
Speaker 7: It is not the.
Speaker 1: Mountain we conquered, but ourselves.
Speaker 7: Of course, you're handling this like a complete psycho.
Speaker 8: Hepatitis c. Thanks for that. Now everybody here thinks I'm
Speaker 8: a crack hor Wow, is damn cheating on you? I
Speaker 8: was sexually transmitted. You could remember my climbing accident in Peru.
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, the one where I try to jump on
Speaker 1: a plane right away, but it turns out you have
Speaker 1: to wait three months to get a passport to get
Speaker 1: over to that place.
Speaker 7: And god damn nine to eleven just keeps hitting. I
Speaker 7: lost so much blood they needed to give me an
Speaker 7: emergency transfusion.
Speaker 8: Apparently that's how I contracted it.
Speaker 9: The HEPSI going unchecked caused the cirrhosis, and essentially, no,
Speaker 9: my liver is failing.
Speaker 7: You got a lawsuit on your hands. We will sue
Speaker 7: the shit out of this hospital.
Speaker 1: The doctors, the nurses, the practitioners, the Peruvian dictator.
Speaker 8: Peru has a president, a woman. You do still have
Speaker 8: health insurance?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 3: When I switched to work from home, they made me
Speaker 3: changed to a subcontractor.
Speaker 7: I lost my benefits.
Speaker 8: You've got to be kidding me. O. Dan wants us
Speaker 8: to mortgage the house.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, we'll mortgage the house.
Speaker 8: I can sell my car.
Speaker 1: We can do a fundraisor remember when we booked that
Speaker 1: trip to Cabo? How we got there by slinging those
Speaker 1: jello shots at clubs downtown.
Speaker 2: Uh, this is what it sounds like.
Speaker 3: Every month, do you pay your bad No, she isn't
Speaker 3: acting in this.
Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, obviously that was Evan and then the
Speaker 1: last part was my friend. But notice how Evan was
Speaker 1: barely keeping because again another script that's not so great.
Speaker 2: But I've never heard the term douche nozzle.
Speaker 1: I know, well it was in the script.
Speaker 3: I had no idea what the hell was going on
Speaker 3: the entire time.
Speaker 2: I didn't need there.
Speaker 1: Well, it was okay, it was I Okay. Out of
Speaker 1: the three, which which role do I land?
Speaker 3: I think the first one's actually the best.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think when you get too high energy, yeah, you
Speaker 3: get you overreact or.
Speaker 1: You over because you're not supposed to do that on film,
Speaker 1: or like you're supposed to be more natural re acting.
Speaker 1: I know. Okay, no good feedback, Okay, thank you. You
Speaker 1: know what, I'm not going to say screwble for you guys.
Speaker 1: But when I get my big shot and I'm in
Speaker 1: Hollywood filming a movie for two months, right, I'm going
Speaker 1: to be like I told you guys, and when just
Speaker 1: a matter of time.
Speaker 3: And when that happens, you have earned that right until then,
Speaker 3: I have earned the right to critique and make.
Speaker 2: And then when that happens, it will be air grimmer
Speaker 2: after dark.
Speaker 1: Oh can't wait to scrub that name off the thing.
Speaker 5: I'll just put black tape over it during during your
Speaker 5: hiatus from the podcast.
Speaker 1: Okay, now it's time for our special guest, Gary Bell.
Speaker 1: Come have a seat on the hot seat. Hi Gary,
Speaker 1: put your headphones on. Hi Gary. Oh oh hey.
Speaker 5: Out Oh now he decides it. Come here, el.
Speaker 1: Elvis.
Speaker 2: He's got a bag of treats.
Speaker 1: Elvis, get over here, little Brad.
Speaker 5: What are you doing?
Speaker 3: Oh well, what's the matter?
Speaker 1: I don't know, dogs, what are you gonna do? So?
Speaker 1: Gary is here talking about something that Eric brought up
Speaker 1: last week A very important I guess you want to
Speaker 1: say it's not fundraising, it's more like supply gathering, right or.
Speaker 2: Tell us like yes.
Speaker 9: So it's very interesting because I I've been working on
Speaker 9: this and I've had to realize that you have to
Speaker 9: say philanthropy because it's not a nonprofit.
Speaker 1: There you go, I know there.
Speaker 9: Okay, So yeah, it's very interesting because it's not a nonprofit.
Speaker 9: So I have to say philanthropy because nonprofit work is
Speaker 9: tax related in people donating and they get a tax.
Speaker 1: Benekay, well, first of all, who are you and why
Speaker 1: are you? Did you create this or develop it?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: And what is it?
Speaker 2: It's kind of a wild story.
Speaker 9: So I recently became a member of the University Club,
Speaker 9: which is in downtown San Diego.
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, that's fancy. That's a big deal.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was very It was a big shock to
Speaker 9: me because I didn't I've never been a part of
Speaker 9: a private club, and I actually wanted to do it
Speaker 9: to become better at networking and have more opportunities, and
Speaker 9: because I do massage therapy and I do art, and
Speaker 9: so I thought it'd be great. Well, as soon as
Speaker 9: I got connected to the club, I was like, oh
Speaker 9: my gosh, there's so many resources here, and there's so
Speaker 9: many people that actually care. You kind of think is
Speaker 9: just sort of bougie and people are like, you can't
Speaker 9: sit with us, very mean girl style, But it turned out.
Speaker 2: That people are really great.
Speaker 9: There's yeah, there's a really great atmosphere there. Ever since
Speaker 9: COVID hit, they've really changed things up. It's become more diverse,
Speaker 9: and so I just felt at home. And it was
Speaker 9: really weird because I thought i'd have this feeling that
Speaker 9: I didn't belong there. So it's been a really great ride.
Speaker 9: I've only been a member for a couple months, but
Speaker 9: I saw all the opportunity and I saw the way
Speaker 9: that people want help, and I was like, well, I've
Speaker 9: been wanting to do philanthropy work for years and I
Speaker 9: thought I'd have to have like millions dollars to do this,
Speaker 9: and I'm like, well, let's.
Speaker 2: Make it happen. So what I ended up doing.
Speaker 9: Is I talked to the LGBT Center and they're housing
Speaker 9: insecured youth actually need resources in the form of hygiene resources,
Speaker 9: and so it's like your basic like toothpaste and toothbrush
Speaker 9: and deodorant and lip balm, specifically with SBF if they're
Speaker 9: outside a lot.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 9: They asked for blankets because they have people who are
Speaker 9: sleeping on the street and they just want a blanket
Speaker 9: so they have something more comfortable.
Speaker 2: To sleep on.
Speaker 5: I mean, just really like basic human.
Speaker 1: Supplies, tampons, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got them.
Speaker 9: We got them a ton of pads already because I
Speaker 9: want to make sure I got that in their hands
Speaker 9: right away. And then we're gonna what we're gonna do
Speaker 9: is putting together all these supplies into the these bags.
Speaker 9: So we're I'm currently collecting the supplies and then with
Speaker 9: the help of the University Club, I'm getting people together
Speaker 9: because I'm trying to create a committee.
Speaker 2: It's all happening very quickly, so I'm very excited.
Speaker 9: But what we're going to do is for an event,
Speaker 9: We're going to put all those together in bags and
Speaker 9: then I can deliver them to the university to the
Speaker 9: center both in hillcrest On University and then also the
Speaker 9: one in North County.
Speaker 2: So it's very exciting.
Speaker 9: People have been really responding well to it and really
Speaker 9: wanted to help, and we've got lots of great things
Speaker 9: coming in.
Speaker 5: I just want to get more so that they.
Speaker 1: What is your goal? When is your goal date to
Speaker 1: get these delivered? Or like what what you want to collect.
Speaker 5: Them all by September sixteenth?
Speaker 9: Okay, because I want to do this right, and so
Speaker 9: I want to make sure that I have all the
Speaker 9: supplies early and then I can make sure that when
Speaker 9: we put them together, we have all the supplies we need.
Speaker 1: And you made it really easy, yes, because you just
Speaker 1: created an Amazon list.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: It's really wonderful because people are also seeing that they
Speaker 9: can make a difference by actually giving some like hard product,
Speaker 9: like instead of oh, here's a dollar, we're like, oh,
Speaker 9: that's so cool. I'm giving these people, you know, some toothbrushes,
Speaker 9: Like this feels really good and this is a great
Speaker 9: way for me to contribute. And people have been much
Speaker 9: more willing to contribute because they feel like they're connected
Speaker 9: to it.
Speaker 1: And so that's what we have on our website is
Speaker 1: the link to the Amazon page.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's Amazon Registry list.
Speaker 1: Okay, and it's super easy. It's all right there. It's
Speaker 1: exactly what is needed.
Speaker 9: Just click on what you want and it'll throw it
Speaker 9: in your cart and then the default address will just
Speaker 9: go right to me, I'm collecting the supplies and we'll
Speaker 9: put them together.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's just that's so great of you.
Speaker 2: It's awesome.
Speaker 1: Now, I don't know if this is an appropriate question
Speaker 1: to ask, but I've always been curious, like, what kind
Speaker 1: of funds does it take to become a member of
Speaker 1: the university club? Is it something that is like like
Speaker 1: really you need to say for no, Wow, this.
Speaker 2: Is totally appropriate.
Speaker 9: Actually, it's super fascinating because I was talking to a
Speaker 9: friend of mine who lives in La Joya, and I
Speaker 9: was talking to him about how I became a member
Speaker 9: of this private club and I was just like, wow,
Speaker 9: it's so fascinating, and he was just looking at me
Speaker 9: like so skeptical, and he's like, what do you want?
Speaker 9: And so then I explained how much it costs, and
Speaker 9: he how much? How little it costs and he was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 9: that makes sense because in La Joya he lives down
Speaker 9: the street from a private club.
Speaker 5: And he said it's one hundred thousand dollars and it's
Speaker 5: a thousand dollars a month after that.
Speaker 1: That's what I was figuring because it's so nice that
Speaker 1: I've been I was lucky enough to be invited, and
Speaker 1: in the Copley buildings are near there the top of
Speaker 1: the Symphony the Civity Towers. Yes, and the view is
Speaker 1: beautiful and the insight is gorgeous, and there's great food
Speaker 1: and ambiance and and all sorts of people to network with.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it give me a price range between the give
Speaker 1: it big ones. You don't have to give the exact number,
Speaker 1: but like.
Speaker 5: I can get the exact number because it's public information.
Speaker 5: It's not okay, okay, the price. So basically, the club
Speaker 5: considers them to be inclusively exclusive, so they don't shun
Speaker 5: people from wanting to come into the club. So they're
Speaker 5: great with diversity, and I love that. I'm seeing more
Speaker 5: and more of that.
Speaker 9: They just have sort of a privacy rather than a secrecy,
Speaker 9: so it's sort of like you can come here, you
Speaker 9: can get away from the chaos down on the street.
Speaker 9: You can enjoy networking with people who are in the
Speaker 9: same mentality as you. So it's fifty initiation fee, which
Speaker 9: is a lot less expensive than one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 9: That's and it shocks, and then it's three twenty a month. Wow,
Speaker 9: three twenty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not about it at all.
Speaker 1: Wow, you're and you're really right about the networking thing.
Speaker 1: Like if this is something that you really want or
Speaker 1: looking towards, this could be like a really great thing
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 2: If you have a business, you can write it off
Speaker 2: as marketing expense. Ooh yeah, which is what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: All right. It awesome.
Speaker 9: Honestly, if you're interested, go to the website and.
Speaker 2: Find out find Mitch. Just ask for Mitch.
Speaker 9: He's the director of membership and he's incredible. He is
Speaker 9: so sharp, he's on it. He responds so quickly. He'll
Speaker 9: get you what you need. And if you tell them
Speaker 9: that Gary Bell sent you, they will take extra good
Speaker 9: care of you.
Speaker 1: Oh You've already made that big of an impression.
Speaker 9: I'm very I'm very humbly appreciative to say that they
Speaker 9: are glad that I'm there because of the vision that
Speaker 9: I have with things like outreach and giving back to
Speaker 9: the community. I have a lot of other big things
Speaker 9: in the plans. So maybe I can come on and
Speaker 9: talk about the HUTURE episode. But it has to do
Speaker 9: with education grants.
Speaker 1: I love that idea, Like it just went off, no,
Speaker 1: because like the light just sensed all my the student loans.
Speaker 1: I have on my back. So grants for education is
Speaker 1: that's huge, really big. Well, the link is on our website,
Speaker 1: Laura Kane after Dark. Scroll down a little bit and
Speaker 1: you'll see it. You can't miss it and do something
Speaker 1: good for people that really need it. Just your basic needs,
Speaker 1: I mean we take that for granted, but some people
Speaker 1: really need things desperately and in that like what do
Speaker 1: you have in that bag right there?
Speaker 5: So the bag has most importantly the basic supplies.
Speaker 3: So it has.
Speaker 9: Soap, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, toothpaste, toothbrush, the SBF lip bomb.
Speaker 9: For some reason, they get asked constantly for cup of
Speaker 9: noodle soup, so they were really excited to have those.
Speaker 9: Get some crackers in. It's a fun thing.
Speaker 1: I want to take this on my next vacation. I
Speaker 1: was going to pack it because it has like all
Speaker 1: the things.
Speaker 2: You need to go on vacation. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Does it stick this in my suitcase.
Speaker 2: When we go to a pump Springs?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm going later this week. You are, Yeah?
Speaker 2: I go there monthly as a mental getaway.
Speaker 5: Where do you stay very very healthy?
Speaker 1: Do you stay at someone's house?
Speaker 9: It depends. Sometimes I'll stay at someone's house. Sometimes a hotel.
Speaker 1: What hotel do you recommend? Derek and I are going
Speaker 1: to plan a trip for and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 9: Honestly, the Best Western in downtown Palm Springs does a
Speaker 9: good job. It's very clean, okay, which I've worked in
Speaker 9: hotels before. That's so important for me personally if I'm
Speaker 9: going to stay somewhere, so cleanliness and it's very functional.
Speaker 9: It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but that
Speaker 9: means that the price is really accessible.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 9: They have a pool, they have a hot tub. They
Speaker 9: have breakfast complimentary in the morning. It got better with COVID.
Speaker 9: The breakfast in the morning is wonderful. They do like
Speaker 9: eggs and sausage and potatoes, and they have someone serve
Speaker 9: them to you and then they have a whole.
Speaker 2: Rest of Laura is all about the sausage.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, here's the ree Should I touch? Should I tell? Eric?
Speaker 1: And I had or I had an idea and then
Speaker 1: I floated it past Eric. He's like, totally, I go,
Speaker 1: we need to plant. Okay, let me just put it
Speaker 1: this way. I've been in a big, long stretch of
Speaker 1: no lovers. If you were our big, big, big long
Speaker 1: very longer than it ever has been dry spelled. Okay,
Speaker 1: And I thought, and I'm like a little nervous to
Speaker 1: get back out there because I kind of forgot what.
Speaker 1: I have no game. I've no game left, like I
Speaker 1: don't even know what to do anymore.
Speaker 9: With honestly, be yourself like that scares people, I think,
Speaker 9: But calmly, I.
Speaker 3: Don't be yourself, I.
Speaker 9: Know exactly ill, it's yourself at ease, and don't give
Speaker 9: too much information right off the ball like I always do,
Speaker 9: like rehab.
Speaker 2: Well, because that wouldn't be at ease.
Speaker 5: And there's nothing shameful about parts of you.
Speaker 9: But but it makes sense that if you're talking to
Speaker 9: someone else, if they divulge a lot of stuff, typically
Speaker 9: they call it trauma dumping.
Speaker 2: So don't just don't take a dump on anybody, what
Speaker 2: Gary saying.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I thought, Eric and I go to Palm
Speaker 1: Springs for like two nights. He'd be my wingman and
Speaker 1: I this is going to come off completely wrong, but
Speaker 1: I kind of want to be I want to play
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, I want to.
Speaker 2: Palm Springs is really great for it to be honest for.
Speaker 1: A single great woman. Yes, okay, yes, okay, good because
Speaker 1: we were worried, like with smart choices. But I kind
Speaker 1: of want to make I want to start off and
Speaker 1: just like go for it and get it over with
Speaker 1: and like maybe do a one night stand and start
Speaker 1: like there go the races. We're off to the races, people,
Speaker 1: and I'll.
Speaker 2: Be sleeping in the car while you catch your put the.
Speaker 1: Sock on the good do.
Speaker 9: Honestly, Eric, there's so many things you could do besides
Speaker 9: being in the car drag shows.
Speaker 2: Oh true. I could go to I could go to restaurants,
Speaker 2: art galleries.
Speaker 5: I could go eat by myself in a restaurant while
Speaker 5: you Oh you wouldn't be by yourself. It's Palm Springs.
Speaker 5: You'd meet all kinds of release.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: So the goal is for me to break the dry
Speaker 1: spell and then get it and then get.
Speaker 2: We're going to break that tumbleweed in half.
Speaker 9: I feel like I'm just promoting all these different companies.
Speaker 9: But it's best Western Las Brisas in downtown Palm Springs.
Speaker 9: They do an amazing job, so classy, so functional.
Speaker 2: The price is great.
Speaker 9: It's literally right in downtown across from the free parking garage,
Speaker 9: so it's just like walkable to everything.
Speaker 5: Downtown and you know what, I'll bring my little mini
Speaker 5: leaf blowers so we can knock out all the cobwebs
Speaker 5: in the dust before you go out on the town.
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna have to get prepared, prepared. Yes, Okay,
Speaker 1: well I didn't think we were going to talk about that,
Speaker 1: but there you go. Anyway, So I'm glad you okay
Speaker 1: the idea.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I can literally give you a PDF of things
Speaker 9: that you can do wall in Palm Springs.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're talking to the right person. Yeah, we're going
Speaker 1: you're not just saying that you're gonna help your sister over.
Speaker 5: Here, sister friend, don't worry. Okay, I got your friend
Speaker 5: in your back.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Well, if you want to be part of this great
Speaker 1: fundraising philanthropy of supply gathering for LGBTQ hel plus housing
Speaker 1: and secure people, then there you go. This is a
Speaker 1: great cause. Laura Kane after dark dot com and you'll
