Hello, everybody, Welcome to Laura Kane after Dark. I'm Laura Caine. This is Eric Rimhi. I feel like I haven't seen you in two weeks. I know we were I'll producer Brian over here. Okay. So ah, by the way, I'll have to tell you something funny, well not too funny for Brian. But we were gone last week because I went to New York City to see Evan perform in her latest show, which we will
get to. But my roommate a Antonio tells me that on Monday night, knock knock, knock, knock, dog knock, Brian showed up so bad. You know what it was is that you had just texted us about them. I was like, I was like that to me. I was like, oh, there's my reminder for this week. Okay, it's not your fault. I know I did. We did tell you right like, that wasn't my fault? Well I did? I? Yes, I did? Didn't I okay because I did not. I know, I wouldn't be surprised
if I did. And I'm really sorry. Okay. So the oscars were last night, yes they were, or Sunday night or whatever. So Eric has his best and worst dressed lists. I do. So here's the thing. I didn't have a chance to watch the Oscars because I was so busy. I can tell you who with other work. But I did. I'll tell you the Red Carpet arrival. Okay, that's important. Yes, Brian and I watched the whole show, and so we have I have a couple of little notes. I have thoughts. I have some thoughts as well.
I did see online today. Well I'll get to it. And I'm going to tell you why this picture from twenty fourteen is cursed. This is a cursed picture. The last picture of you at the eye, Well, there's me right there, but we'll get to it. There's like a whole story about it. It's kind of crazy. So we'll get to that as well. And then we have the list of the winners in case you're super curious
and didn't watch the show. And I'm going to tell you about my crazy, funny, annoying, fun magical, frustrating, nightmarish trip to New York City? Was it? Wait? Was all things boiled down into one big thing. See that's because I wasn't there. You weren't there, and you were gonna be on FaceTime with me when I went down to go buy all the fake designer stuff. But there's a whole new ball game that stuff does
not like is not laid down on the streets anymore. Like there was a crack down apparently, so it's very clandestine, and I did end up getting some fake stuff. But yo, it was difficult, and it was very scaredry. It was very secretive, and I felt like I was going to be arrested any minute for buying a fake like Gucci purse, which is really beautiful. By the way. By the way, Laura doesn't have hairy legs
that I'm petting. Elvis's between us sound asleep snoring. Dogs are not supposed to be on the podcast, but he can be on this pod just as long as you he does not deter you from your job, which is co hosting the show with me. What he doesn't need a dog to that regardless. I know, seriously, seriously, listen, you too, can it? Okay? No no way, no way, Jose, Okay, So before we get to or you know what, if you don't can't, if you don't put a lid on it, I'll make a spectacle, you know
what That'll be like do it? Do it? Yeah? Fine, go ahead like a spectacle. Go ahead. I'll just say the words like times. It doesn't really matter. I don't matter because we're not making money. You might know, right. I want to do one thing before we talk about our fabulous sponsors that help us put on the show every week. Mister j I had another audition, which I'm not going to talk about yet because I don't want to jinx it from my fabulous profile on backstage talk. Oh
my god, but this one could be a cool one. Okay, So I'm going to ask mister Predicto if I'm going to get it. I don't know what I'm going to find out as good as call in. I don't know Garrott. Oh, Garrett, it's a whole different thing. Make sure they don't see that, otherwise I will not get that. Well. Unfortunately, I needed to put down my Instagram and my Facebook and stuff, and Garrett is on there. Oh wow. Okay. Anyway, so mister Predicto,
will I get this audition that I did today? The answer is no. The answer is yes. Oh does he ever say no? I feel like he only says yes. He does say no every once in a while. Every once in a while ask him again, just to see if you know, if the fortune's true, mister Predicto, Will I be getting a phone call within the next few weeks saying I got this job? Yes, I am sure. Hey, do you want me to one more time? Sure, mister predictor. Am I going to get this job without hesitation?
Yeah? But he was already saying that he just does. Wait, wait, wait, have Eric ask a question. Eric, ask him if he's you're going to be straight next week? Ask him a real question. Well, we want to know if he's right or not. Well, no, I kind of don't want to just ask him any kind of question. Mister Predicto, I took cilium husk last night, a lot of it. Well, I have diarrhea for the rest of the week. It cannot be determined at this time. Oh, that's a yes, that's a soft That is
it's gonna be a yes. Maybe he said he's saying that because it's not gonna be all week, maybe just a few days, all right, Maybe he's full of ship. Mister Predicto. Is Elvis the cutest dog in this house? I would pay that little ball ten bucks to say no, Yes, it is certain. Maybe he only does say yes. I swear he said no a couple of times when we were using I think she reprogrammed the chew. All right, Let's get to our sponsors, because we love them

Or should we talk my New York trip first? Lostkers. Okay, let's do oscars. Okay, I got thoughts, all right, you do have thoughts. I have thoughts. I watched the entire show, watching just the red Carpetcause that's all I had time for. I love I'm gonna be very interested to see who you thought
was the best dressed and who you thought was the worst dress. So we'll get to that at the the end, because that's like the big cherry on top. Now, Jimmy Kimmel, I thought he did what I can't. I don't I start thinking I love Jimmy. I don't hate him. I don't. I think he's a pretty bad Oscar host, though he's just is
just you're not supposed to stand out that much, I really know. But he's not like he's not that funny, Like his jokes are kind of like, you know, they're like really short of being all right, but like they're not funny. But he's also he's kind of like every every time he starts talking, like everything about him just has kind of a snob sort of like like persona and I just it rubs me the wrong way really much. Everything like did you like it? At the end when he read the tweet
Trump, So that was that was kind of funny. It was it was also their their token politics moment, which isn't it. I can't believe you're still watching it, isn't it? That's you're jailed? I know? Well, yeah, you know who should host? Who was funny is John Malaney? John Laney was hilarious when he got up there. For like his is that he's a comedian? Okay, because he's kind of well, I don't know, maybe I'm just not aware of him. But is he fairly new on the scene? Is he from SNL? Is he like A I don't
think he's that new. He stepped away for a little bit. There was some sort of controversy. I don't know. It wasn't something he did. It was just some stuff about him. I can't Maybe it was drugs or something. I don't know. Okay, he got divorced, but we need to talk about what the f is up with al Pacino? Oh my god, Oh dude. He was just hammered. He just super old. They have open bars out there, and he's like it was the last thing of
the oscars. He've been there all night. I'd have to be hammered to sit through the oscars. I really really hope that that was it, and it's not that he's just aging horribly. I would be hammered too if I was a spot Did they at okay, this is the biggest award of the night, this is the best picture and they show like he totally watched it, because don't they usually show clips of each one? Or did my eyes
see and you just watched the delivery? Which you know. I kind of liked it better that way though, because there was a moment where everyone was like, what the fuck? I know, right, what's going on? And even they flashed to who's who's the the other one that's like al Pacino? Why can't I think of him? The other older action? Yes, they flashed to him, and I was like, oh, I wonder what his reaction? Who both had kids in their eightiessh. Also their wives are
like half their ages. Of course, Hey, if al Pacino asked me to marryam I probably would. Well, you know, the first thing I did this morning, since I didn't watch them, was googled best and worst moments. Oh really? Ryan Gosling brought it with I am kid actually did him and Emily Blunt with their when they did their announcement or the what you call it where they announced one of the Yes, they did a great job. They did a really good job on the on. One of the best
moments was John Cena walk out like naked naked. Yes, you know, it was kind of funny, but it was more weird than it was funny. And I was like, what is the point? I mean, best costume might get it. Yeah, yeah, I had a body like that. I would walk around like that. Oh. Best moment was Arnold Twartz nigger though and Danny de Vito doing there. That was cute, hilarious And is there anybody cuter than Emma Stone. She's just the most adorable actress,
real down to earth, seemingly nice person. I know she didn't think she was gonna win. She was legitimately completely shocked. Oh she won, yeah, yeah, Best Actress, Oppenheimer walked away with literally Cheryl everything. Let's see Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Cilly and Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Junior. That was a cool really rooting for him, divine Joy Randolph. That was a great speech too. She was in
the holdovers. She said that, Yeah, she was great she was. I didn't see the holdovers. It was really it was really good. I'm assuming she did a good job. I was kind of hoping Emily bluntma win that one because I thought she did real she did a uncharacteristically good job in Oppenheimer because she's not usually a huge drama actor. But I still haven't seen Oppenheimer, and I'm here's why. I barely made it. I didn't even make it through it. Well, I know I'm gonna love it. I
don't know if you will. But it is a good movie. Well, it's important. I think it's important. Seemingly, isn't it about the making of this horrible atomic bomb? Yes? So, I feel like so was Evil Dead too? And you spent half the movie in the lobby Evil Dead Rise or Evil Dead Rise? Yeah, side note. You know what I'm in the middle of watching right now. I watched probably from four thirty to five thirty this afternoon. Talk to me, Oh yeah, oh, what's
it on? I bought it for five nine something. It's not that scary. It is freaky, all right, Oh my god? When they okay, it is good, it is good. I think it was that scary though. Guess what I watched Anyway Best Original Score Oppenheimer Oh totally does also everything Oppenheimer one totally deserve too right. And then it was really great when god Zella minus one one for Best Visual Effects. That was cute. I was a little upset that the creator didn't win. Gareth Edwards directed that one.
But all right, anyway, okay, when you are done with your best and worst dress list, I'm going to tell you why this infamous selfie from the twenty fourteen Oscars that I am in right here is cursed. There's evidence. But please give us your list of who should you start with? Yeah, start with the best and then they do the worst, I say real quick. I actually didn't think this was an egregious year for outfits for the Oscars, Like everyone seemed pretty tamely they did. Yeah, it wasn't
crazy. I was watching the Red Carpet online and so, my I'm not going to do this in any particular. Well, yes i am, because I almost you have the number one for sure. Oh my god. When she walked out, Zendaya, she's so beautiful, kidding you, she looked a little different in the face. I thought she was She's so skinny, she's so thin. This dress was gorgeous. It was so pretty, so so so pretty. Yeah, so I agree with that. Tom Holland makes no sense. Oh my god. And she just looks very classy. It
was very and her hair was great. Yeah, it was a very and these are palm trees on the dress, so I mean it was It was a beautiful, beautiful dress. I think it was gam Beast. I don't know. I don't know who daddy is. Then, Emma Stone, you like the peplum look. I actually really liked it. It did. I did see this morning. It's very classic Hollywood. Now, this dress I think was not versace, but anyway, it split up the back as she was getting up to see her award. That was totally It's probably a twenty
five thousand dollars dress that was not well put together. That's insane to me.
Those things cost so much. Oh, they're so expensive. Care especially do they pay for them or do they get sponsored by They'll probably get sponsored like Charlie's Starren was wearing Christian door because all she had to do was say I'm wearing Christian dere and it's paid for right well, and she is the face of their true fume line if I was at the Oscars, unless they're paying me to wear something, I'm wearing like jeans, graphic T shirt and
a blazer and that's what they got. Pay me to wear anything nicer than that. When I went to the Oscars, what are you wearing? I'm wearing windsor fashions for cashe Oh no, I was wearing cash Max. Nobody would know Nordstern. Rac was one time I got a dressed off norths to rack. Why there you go? Rac is nice. Actually, now this might be a surprise for everybody, but I thought she looked great. Jodie Foster looks like a like a prompt, like what parents wear when they supervised
prom I thought she looked fantastic. I thought her when she was in the audience, she looked great and her face looked great. That dress is very mom of the brightish it is, I thought for her, she looked fantastic. I agree with doctor Lector. This I don't do. This is blows my mind. Okay, so there's not a picture of the back. If you could have seen the back of this, this is so one of these actresses is my best dressed. One is my worst us, and they're both
in the upcoming movie Wicked. Cynthia Arrivo. This was an all leather dress. Beautiful cool. It's a very odd color, emerald green, emerald green, Wicked. This you know, I can see why she did it, but the back, you guys look online. I couldn't get any of the back, but it split and it was like tuxedo tails. Do you know? I think it was Versaci. I'm not sure, but it was beautiful. Now the ones that he didn't like can, I'm sorry, Oh god. I really really like her a lot, and she usually knocks it out
of the park. I hated Charlie's their own in Christian Dior, the most boring dress ever. It's so boring, washes her out. Makeup is too severe, the hair is severe, and if you look at the necklace and the earrings, they all run together. So she's got the necklaces on and she has a pooch. She does she maybe she's praggy, but but hopefully I don't seething wrong with that. It's just not great. It just wasn't. Like Eric said, it kind of washes her out a little bit.
This color. The eyebrows were super severe and the eye makeup was really severe and it's just lumpy, dumpy and bumpy. It's like a second dumpy bumpy. I don't like it at all. She is a severe person, oh man, but she is okay. This could have gone either way. It could have well, and I think without the sleeping bag, it would have been a really pretty dress. I knew this was going to happen yet in Gambista whatever that Gsta ballet or something. The dress itself is very pretty.
That's a lot of volume right there. It just looks like she got stuck in a cotton candy machine. It's awful. I was dying watching her up at the microphone, like trying to use her hands and they were buried in like pillows. I bet, I bet if she was to walk down the street, there'd be tin cans and their like hair, like probably a condom. Who knows what would be in there. It's kind of weird to me, like it's because of the bleach blonde hair, the beach blonde eyebrows,
eyebrows sick. I was like, it was a very very odd it's the eyebrows. Look. Yes, it was a very and the the makeup was just pancaked on. Yeah, you can just come. Yes. And she's another one that's so tiny. Oh, she must be the tiniest thing in the world in person. Oh my gosh, she's so little on screen. I this is going to be contra versial. But whatever, Billy Ellish eilish, eyelish, eyelash in Chanel. She very rarely dresses like, you know, it's very Billy Eilis. I will say it does. But the socks,
oh, get I couldn't with this thing. The socks aren't uneven. There ones up, ones down. I'm like, she looks like she's going to a Catholic schoolgirls formal. I don't know. A beautiful face, She's got a beautiful face. She looks like she does a math. She looks. Look at those eyes are so gorgeous. She does have nice eyes, but she looks as she's gotten older, she looks like kind of unhealthy to me, like there's something like going on. I feel like I think she
likes that look of that. You know, that's just her persona spread. She does some heavy drugs. Do you know she has churettes? Don't have to do with anything. I'm just saying that she is like that's something I did not know about her. She must not have it super severe. No, I mean, I don't know. That's just something I heard recently. I was like, wow, that's pretty amazing to be just like that public and have something. Her face is just like very gaunt and like kind of
she looks a little sickly to me. It's fine. Okay, Okay, my fourth worst dress. And I hate to say this because she is always on my best dress list and I love love lover. She normally can do no wrong. The face is everything the dress. First of all, I hate polka dots. Okay, this did me in the minute she stepped out it Jennifer Lawrence. I couldn't with this. And I don't know if it's Carolina herre area. I can't remember who it was. It's just so dowdy,
Like, I don't it's got. I don't like the stupid cape or whatever that stupid thing is. Her face is amazing. Her face is incredible, and I think she's such a good I just yeah, this isn't I mean, it's differentyone just saw her naked this year on TV. Yeah, and she's so young that this was just very I don't know true, yes, yeah, too old for her. Okay, now here's the thing. I love her. I love this actress. I loved everything about the look
except for two things. I didn't like the hair. It looked like some bee's nest on top of her head. And here's the other thing. Even as a gay man, I know where a woman's vagina is. You don't need to put like a map on where the badge is. I love Emily Blunt. She usually gorgeous, is beautiful, funny. Her hair was awful. The hair was terrible. Read that that is not that bad, actually
kind of actually really pretty. She liked her dress, her hair was I remember they did a close up of her sday next to John and you could see like all the flyaways on her Oh no that yeah, I was like, job. I was like her gay should have whipped that up into shape. This thing. I was like, come on, I don't need you to put an arrow on where your lips are back passes. I don't think it's not that bad. It's not actually actually it's not amazing. I don't
mind it. It looks like her. She told her kid, hey, just do it design on mommy's dress wherever you want, and the kid was like, I'll just show everybody where mommy's vagina is. It was awful. I think it's supposed to be like a medieval like, kind of a Victorian like medieval. I was even I was even kind of okay with these weird straps that came up over the shoulders where there was room in between where you could like pick her up and throw her and maybe that's what people were doing,
and that's where her hair got out of place. Caine. Okay, now the selfie. Remember this iconic selfie. This was ten years ago. Wow, Okay, before it Helm Degenerous got canceled. Well, listen to this. The New York Post is asking is this photo cursed? Because here's the evidence. This is the list of the carnage. Ellen called out in twenty twenty article for a toxic work environment on her show. The allegations only grew from there. She ended the show in twenty twenty two. Kevin Spacey,
where do we even start? He was fired from House of Cards in twenty seventeen due to sexual assault allegations. He's still never been convicted of anything, but his career has never recovered. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie filed for divorce in twenty sixteen, and boy did it get ugly. In fact, it's still very very ugly. Meryl Streep. Last year, it was revealed that she and her husband separated her husband Don Gummer in twenty seventeen after forty
years together. That's normal in Hollywood, though, Bradley Cooper, as Meryl Streep would say in The Devil Ware's Prana, that's all You're not going to Paris. Here's Bradley Cooper. Now listen to this. He was nominated for an Oscar that night. He didn't win. He's lost seven more oscars since. He also lost one in twenty thirteen. He didn't win any for Maestro last night, so he is oh for twelve, oh for eleven since that, since this picture has been taken. Leonardo DiCaprio, though, you just
gotta keep trying. Eventually you will get one. Jared Leto He actually won an Oscar that year for Dallas Buyer's Club, but since then he played the most universally hated joker in Suicide Squad. That's what they say. And Moru, what's going on? Julia Roberts in What Where's She Been what's been happening? Would you? I was in that awful next Flix movie that I hated so oh with Coming. Is it the one where they were like married? No? That No, it's that that movie that was made for Netflix,
The End of the World or whatever. Oh, end of the fucking World or something. Yes. Oh, and then there's this person in the selfie right here, the one that started the demise of all the celebrities. That's me and what is my life? Vincents twenty seventy You getting fired was the worst thing to ever happen to all of them. It's happened in twenty fourteen. I got blown out in twenty seventeen. This happened. That happened. This happened, that happened. This happened, that happened, This happened,
that happened. Anyway, So do you believe in curses? Do you believe that this is a cursed picture with all that evidence? No? Okay, you know what. I only have one thing to say to you. What get away from me? Can you sit over there? No, you're stuck with me. He wants to go to the oscar some days. Yes, Why I'm rubbing you, I'm rubbing all over. Listen, all my juju,
great, all my curse great BUQ. Actually you know why it's probably cursed because Jared Leto's in that photo and that man looks like if anyone in that photo was like a devil worship or something, it would definitely he looks like he could be it. And that man is in his fifties and he looks like he could be in his No, he's not google it right now. No, there's no frigging Jared. Jared Letto is in his fifties. That's what I'm saying. I mean, I thought Tom Cruise looked good for
his age. Who's what now, sixty one? Sixty? Jared Cruise is sixty yeah? Wow. Jared Letto literally looks like he's like thirty three. He's always fifty two. Yeah, he's fifty two. What Tom Cruise I think is sixty? Wow? Okay, Tom Cruise is sixty one? My god. Yeah, it's just and again let's bring this up. The Golden Girls, the TV show. Those ladies were in their fifties, I know, and they're like white hair and that like that hair do the Grammar hairdoo?
Yep. Yeah, And Jared Letto stopped aging at like twenty one, So gosh, do you know who he was the youngest of all the Golden Girls, Stelle Getty, who played Sofia, the really old one them all. Right. Now, moving on to my New York trip. That's why we didn't have a show last week. We didn't have any shows because we I left on a Sunday and I came back on a Thursday, which was my seventeen year sober birthday. Happy birthday, Thank you, thank you,
thank you. It was really kind of fun being in New York and San Diego for both, uh, you know, because I landed in San Diego that day. But anyway, I went to Evan's show, and I just have to I went every night she was. There was four performances. I went to three of the performances because one of them was too late at night. And I just have to say. I know, I'm her mom, so I'm super duper biased. I realize this, but she I have no words for how much she has grown as an actress in a year. It
is outstanding. Like she I couldn't. I didn't. When she walked out on stage, it was a little bit dark, and she was from it was from behind. I'm like, well, that's not Evan. She doesn't stand like that, she doesn't move like that. The lights went on, she turns around. It's Evan. That's what they they that's what she's learning, like how to the nuances of acting, and it's so much shows and
oh my god, I was so proud of her. And this girl comes up to me after the show is one of her classmates, I guess, and said, are you Evan's mom? And I said yes, and she said, I just want to tell you that Evan is the nicest, kindest, most authentic, wonderful person. She started crying. And she has made my time here at Fordham so wonderful. And I can't thank you enough for a birthday her and like all this stuff. I was like, Okay, that is the greatest thing a parent could ever hear. So thank you for
coming up and telling me that. Did you have to book your head for a different flight, like a private flight because it was so big? No, wait, I'm getting to the flight. I'm getting to the flight brutal. I'm just telling you, Evan, just I'm just so proud. I know I'm biased, I know I'm biased, but come on, I saw a video. Didn't think, are you talking about Laura's video? I wasn't allowed to video the performance, so I didn't know I was forbidden. Evan
said, Mom, I'm not even kidding this time. Please don't, because I always do it secretly and I'm never supposed to every single one I've done. But this time she said, Mom, I'm dead serious, Please don't. And so I abided by her rules and I didn't film it even though I wanted to. Okay, So I went with my friend I'm going to call her Meg, and she has a kind of a busted ankle because something fell on her ankle a while ago, and she has a hard time walking.
So we got her a wheelchair to take her because LaGuardia is huge and it takes forever to get from one i to the other side. And it was cool because we were able to board first and everything, and it was good for her so she didn't have to walk. Well, I was the one pushing the wheelchair. I must say, your forearms are massive. No, this is funny. At the ant the way back, we were sitting in one of the terminal and we're in the wrong terminal. I'm like,
oh crap, this is going to Cankon. We're not going to CanCon. We're going to San Diego. So let's get you know, I piled stuff on top of her. I'm like, all right, let's go. So I start pushing the chair and it is so hard to push, and I'm like, oh my god, which stuff did you pile on your lap? I go, my legs are burning. I don't think I'm gonna make it to Gate forty. I'm pushing so hard and I'm going, and we're going, and my legs are burning. I'm like, what is going on?
This guy comes running over before the seat. He goes, you might want to release the break. Yeah. I was like, you've got to be kidding me. Oh my god. We get so luckily we got to board first. Yeah. I have one thing to interject here. I have a lipstick on my teeth. No, what at least you're getting practice because you'll be able to do that for me and remember oh those so on that same
flight the way home, we first to boards. We picked the second row because you can put yourself under, so it's just me, it's her and then me, and then the flight attendant comes over and she goes, we have an unattended minor. Do you mind if he sits next to you by the window. I'm like, no problem, it's not a problem at all. This little boy comes home five years old Lorenzo for three and a half hours, does not stop talking to me, asking me questions, wanting me
to play video games with them, and doing this. Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. I was like, ohm, like, oh my god, go to you know what would be so great? You know what's so fun when you take a nap and you wake up, you're gonna be home. It's gonna be awesome. He orders a coke, of course for his little drink and she gives it to him, or you a vodcast, you goes. The only thing that would have been better, The only thing is if he would have gotten sick in the air.
Oh. I was very much thinking about that. I'm like, oh, here's a kid. He probably just had too much to eat or too much candy, and he's gonna puke on me. Yeah, not on the bag on me. He was the cutest little kid though, But oh my god, is that flight felt like seven hours? I bet who sends a five year old to fly by himself? Though? That's crazy? But this kid
I'm got I gotta tell you, was like ten in his mannerisms. And well, when you have parents that are not together and one lives in Houston and one lives in San Diego, I mean, what are you gonna do? I mean, it's kind of tough themself. Well, he has this little thing and they have their I mean, they're they're very good about pepper a gun tu be Oh the little like a lanyard thing that he has to wear. Whatever. I know, five years old, I know, I know. Just wait till we go to New York. Now I've now,
I've got an idea of what I'm going. Okay, but we had an absolute blast. If you ever go to New York and stay at the Sheridan Times Square, it's close to everything, It's walking distance to everything. It's right there in Times Square, which is like electric. I know it's very touristy and like, oh my god, Time Square, but wow, the minute you go down there at night, like it doesn't matter what time it is, it doesn't matter how tired you are when you're there, it's just
like, Wow, this is the center of the world. It's really cool. So we had a great time and somehow. Oh, I know how. We go into an Ordstrom, the flagship store of New York City, and this guy where we were looking for lipstick for her. This guy comes over and he goes, are you I know who you are? You're you're famous. I was wearing a ball cap, a big jacket and sunglasses and my hair looked like this. I'm like, oh, you're that's nice, thank you, but no, you know, and he's like, no,
no, no, you're this is how you got me. Okay. Half hour later, I bought not one, but two fifty dollars Prada lipsticks. I have not missed to spending one hundred dollars on two lipsticks. Wait what hold? I'm so confused because he flattered me so much and talked to me and like magically like hypnotized me. I'm sorry, a salesman, miss pretended that you were famous, and so you spend one hundred bucks on lipstick? It worked? You should have said, what bitch? Whatever he did?
Like I got, I was flattered. I don't know he was a good salesperson. Oh this lipstick is the best thing ever? Am I wearing it tonight? No, that dude's laughing at you. You're a schmuck. Fifty dollars. I didn't need to be spending fifty dollars on one lipstick. I've got a dinner I would like to invite you to. Oh, you are so stunned for schmuck. I mean I am a schmuck. I'm a total schmuck. Anyway, I got something you might be interested in, though you
look like bo Derek. It's a grand piano. It's only five grand. All the famous people have him. And since you're a famous person, you have to have one. Wait, who wanted one? Are you being serious right now? Are you interested? Not for five grand? Well? Do you know anybody's selling a piano that can ship it to Oregon? Now somebody
I know an Oregon wants a piano for five Maybe? No? Anyway, Yeah, I know, right, But I just want to say it was really, really great seeing Evan, and I'm not going to see her again for I don't know she's She claims she's not coming home this summer because you know why her boyfriend. Yes, I'm sure that's and he is. I met him. He is a doll. I approve he treats her like a queen. He looks at her like she is like everything in the world to
him. It was just really special, like I look at you. Not quite anyway, it was an awesome trip and and I just thank you Meg for everything you did to make it happen. And she's a doll. She's the best We had. We laughed our asses off. Oh I bet, oh my god, did we get into some wacky situations. But anyway, all right, coming up on Thursday shows. Oh wait a minute, I have something for you, a present or something to say to me. I have something to tell you that I just forgot. Is it going to upset
me? Or is it happy? It's probably it made me very happy. What So on Friday, I was a Thursday, I wasn't super super hungry, so I think I had a salad for dinner. So Friday I was running here and said, I was like, I'm starving, And it was about eleven thirty in the morning, and I thought, if I don't need something soon, I'm gonna get angry. Huh. So there's a place in Mission Valley, there's several in San Diego. It's called Keidoba. Yes, I've heard of it. They Yeah, they have really good food. They
do healthy Mexican food. Well, they have the and since you eat there, you'll know they have on their sign that you know, for an extra two ninety five or something, you can upgrade your meal and get the tortilla chips that are delicious, by the way, and their caeso and they have a spicy caso in a regular caeso, and then you can get a drink. So I've been going there since it opened, and I get the same thing every time because I don't eat meat. Karen story, I'm waiting for
you to get something. So the casa wasn't spicy enough, so I sent a letter to the Well, you've got part of it right. Oh yeah, So I've ordered the same thing every time I go in. I order a bean and cheese burrito with a little dalp of caeso on it, and then I upgrade my meal and I get the tortilla chips, the caeso, and a drink. Okay, never ever, ever have I had a problem until Friday, and possibly could have happened to make him and I want to talk about it. Let me tell you. So I get up to the
register everybody else and they're very nice in there. Get up to the register and the woman goes anything else and I go, uh, yeah, I'd like to upgrade my meal. No, and I'm like, I'm sorry what and she goes, we don't do that, and I said, I'm sorry. I come in here all the time and I I've never had a problem. I just want to upgrade it. No, and I said I don't understand, and she goes, you have to order protein with it, not just a burrito of being a geez burriedo. And I go, that doesn't
make any sense. The sign says what difference does it make? And she goes, we don't do that, and I said since when? And I go, they do it every single time for me, and she goes like she literally looks at me and goes, ugh, rolls her eyes, types it in the machine and then she goes, I'm never doing this again for you. And I I'm like, Jesus, what you know. So I'm completely like what I said, I don't understand. Where on your sign does
it say that. She goes, oh, it says it, and I said, okay, where because I'm reading it right now and it does not say that. So she's like, well, I'm never doing it again. And I said Okay, then I guess I'm never coming here again. And so she oh, no, I bet she was so hurt when she could have cared. She could probably would have let me on fire and not cared. So she literally throw slides the bag across the counter at me and stands there and looks at me and Mama, can I get my drink? So
she literally goes she goes never again. So I turn around and there was a couple of people in there and they're looking at me like, just what did you do? So I get my drink and I'm all, you might want to change your sign, and she goes, oh we are, we are? So I, oh god, here we go, now here we go? Here, here we go. As I'm walking out, I'm all, and what's your name? And she turned around. One wouldn't tell me, so I call the corporate office. Oh god, eg And she was
probably being shitty to you because you're kind of shitty. No, I was. You're a little shitty, you know, but you always you know. I actually like, I'm sorry, we don't do that that protein and he's like, you are no, it's so rude. Did you just say you just say that? I did? With God? Is my witness on a stack of bibles. I did not because I didn't understand what was happening. I was just like, you do have a kind of a bitch face, not meaning to, but you do. I was, I was being super
super nice, and I don't. I'm just wondering, because it always happens here if you invite it a little bit. I asked them to pull the security camera. I'm sure to see so I want no. I did not, So I call the corporate office and it gives you two. It gives you an email address that did not go to anywhere. It bounced back because they forgot to add the AD symbol. You didn't know to add the ad well, I know they said it was it was whatever dot whatever dot com
and I'm like, Kindova corporate office. Yeah. So then it says like, if you want to be removed from our mailing list, press one, blah blah blah, press two for customers or three for customer service. So I pushed three. It goes to a voicemail that is completely full and you can't leave a message, so it hangs up on you. So I call the store and the girl picks up, and I'm all Hi, Dode, what's your number for corporate? And she goes look it up online? Click,
So now it is. So I figured it out. I go online and I I it says, if he's really obsessed, you've probably spent like two hours on social media. Now the hamster wheel was spinning and I couldn't get off. I was like, oh no, this is going to be made right, like you know. So I fill out like this little comment thing and I send it in. Well, I didn't feel like that was good enough because the number didn't go anywhere, the email didn't go anywhere.
So I decided to put the AT symbol into the email and I copied and pasted it. I had a response back within like an hour, and they're like, uh, we're sending the district manager down there, and what's your your q Doba account and we'll upload it with a bunch of you Wow. So squeaky wheel, there you go. Yes, squeaky wheel, get shut the fuck up. Why so a he has a Cadoba accounts? Yes, that's pretty common, okay, And do you know how much you put in
there? I think fifty bucks all right, just for your blood boiling. And I wonder if she got reprimanded or if you got her fired, well, well whatever, you don't know. I don't know. We don't hope anybody gets fired. But that that she's kind of being a ship d She wished she was being a bitch. According to Eric story, Yeah, she was being a bitch. They are to know if you had have been there,
you would have agreed with me. I bet I would have. I'm wondering if you enter it kind of a state of like rage to do psychosis where everything is slightly different. No, because I don't do that anymore. I used to think he did. He used to be a lot or not a lot, and she put a gun and she shot at me. I would have been I would have jumped over that Oh, I would have jumped over that counter and he there would have been fisticuffs first, like police probably
would have been called. Yeah, or there would have been video cameras out videoing you. Or I'm very polite and I'm very very nice to wait staff. I always tip, well you do, yeah, so I and I didn't you tend to have a tone when you ask a question sometimes Well I'm
just saying no, not not this time. I didn't because I just so I was so completely Maybe she confused your confusion for like, wait no, because I was just like what, like I didn't get And then of course the sweet little girl that made my food kind of looked at me and kind of looked at her, and I said, don't you do that? And secretly when no, I already have my food. Oh you already had it. Yeah, Oh my god, oh my god. I love I don't
know what the thing. I love Eric calling corporate businesses, business, corporate headquarters all day long. I could hear these stories and let me just say that it's done. Let me just tell you one more thing. It wasn't the first time this week that I had to call the corporate Jesus. Okay, so you must be part of the problem, is all I'm saying. No, I'm part of the solution because I look all the people out there that don't like he may be helping others. I had to call Uber the
other day. Begause, I got I went and saw the Michael Jackson musical. Okay, wait no, he called Uber because what happened? I called an uber? Huh? And he showed up and I said, I'm on my way out, and he canceled the ride. Well they do that sometimes, yeah, but then he charged me for it. Oh's And I was like, no, no, I think you're supposed to be there when they pull up. No, you can. I was texting the guy because he said he preferred to be text and it said he was coming in two minutes,
and then within like fifty seconds he was there. Okay, And so I was like, oh, I'm on my way down, and so in a nutshell, did you and did you get anything? I did? Did you get your money back or anything else? No? Just got my money back, okay, all right? Twice? Oh no, no, no, no, there was a third time. Seriously, who else can there possibly be? The log We're a little bit ready this week? No,
I was on there's no one this week. You know, I know where every cent of my money is. Eric does know where that some times I've called a corporate number in my past lifetime zero and you've called it three times this week? Oh my god. It's endless than what he's done over the since I've known him, saying and percent of the time the outcome is good. Well yeah, because it takes a minute sometimes. As someone who has dealt with those types of customers. Even if they are I'm stand the wrong.
They always have a good outcome, so they come back and give us more money. So I would I would never do it if I knew that I was slightly in the wrong. Okay, that's what they all say. No is the third one worth mentioning? Was there a solution? Yes, in your favor? You know what company just did? It? Was? It was an It was an online company that I ordered something from and part
of the order went to my current address. Part of the order went to my old address, and USPS did not forward it even though so you called USPS, the United States Postal Service, you called the boss, you called Joe Biden the boss, And how did you just change? Did they give you anything? Huh? Did they give you anything? What? Free mail? I don't know what do they do? What did they just say? Okay, sorry? No, I got refunded for the package. Oh,
because that nobody could figure out where it was. And I was like, well where my old address? They don't have it. So they refunded you what you bought, the amount for what I paid. I love Eric, I love you, this makes you you? This is like so perfect. Three times in one week, three times. Big corporations say that's a record record. But hey, you're you're three for three. You'll be it next week. I am, oh, yeah, you will call for four next
week? Okay, speaking well, not next week, but speaking of well, we weren't even speaking of but our next episode on Thursday. Okay, you know the neighborhood app Yes, okay, each one of us here on the show, Me, Eric, producer, Brian, we each live in very different neighborhoods, yes, and so I thought it would be funny if we did the Not So Neighborly Neighborhood News and read a couple of the posts on like where Brian lives, where you live, and where I live,
and see how different it is the not so neighborly neighborhood News. Come on, by the way, what I found right before I came here today. I just happen to get a notification and it is a good one. Oh, a new one. Yeah, so I'm going to read it. Oh my gosh, I can't wait to hear Brian's I know, because I know, well, like it's just because it's going to be so different than not as far out there as you think. It's not all cows. There's actually
no cows. Well, there's maybe a couple of horses. But I'm thinking there's not like a lot of things that happen in my neighborhood that go on in your neighborhood. This is what I'm saying. We'll see, we'll see, we'll see. So we're going to have the nots of neighborly news, and I'm going to tell you all about a fantastic new product that I just okay, love it. Well, that's it.
