Welcome, welcome, welcome to Armchair Anonymous. I'm Dan Shepard, and I'm joined by Lily Padman.

Hi.
Dax Shepard (0:06)
Today we have Lies That Got Out Of Hand.
Monica Padman (0:09)
Ooh, they sure did. Things just get wild in life.
Dax Shepard (0:13)
Why don't you tell one lie, boy, the floodgates are open. Please enjoy Lies That Got Out Of Hand.
We get support from Quince.
Monica Padman (0:22)
Okay, can we talk about the fact that the holidays are already here? It's crazy, I feel like I blinked, and now we're in gifting season, which I'm not really mad about because I do love giving gifts, and Quince is making it so easy to find something great for everyone on my list, including myself, because let's be honest, self-gifting is a love language.
Dax Shepard (0:42)
Quince is seriously the gift that keeps on giving. Their high quality staples are made with premium materials like 100% Mongolian cashmere, 14 karat gold, and Italian leather, full on luxury quality at prices that won't wreck your holiday budget.
Monica Padman (0:58)
It's the dream. The cashmere sweater is starting at $60. Down jackets, wool outerwear, cashmere accessories, you and everyone on your list are staying cozy and looking incredible all season long.
Dax Shepard (1:08)
Well, I'm going to tell you this, it just got chilly for the first time this year in California, and I'm so excited, and I'm wearing my Quince cashmere right now.
Monica Padman (1:16)
It's great.
Dax Shepard (1:17)
Yeah, and I am going to gift this to some of my friends. I hope they're not listening.
Monica Padman (1:21)
Quince is also more than clothing. They've got fine jewelry for your significant other, leather bags for your bestie, hotel quality bedding to set up your guest rooms, chef-grade cookware. That's an amazing thing they offer here, and it's such a good gift because people don't like buying cookware for themselves, but it's very important, and they also have five-star luggage, another good gift that people don't like buying for themselves.

Hi, Jamie.
Jamie (3:34)
Hi, guys.
Dax Shepard (3:35)
Jamie, where are you?
Jamie (3:36)
I am in Lake Norman area near Charlotte.
Dax Shepard (3:39)
Okay, are you in the NASCAR racing business?
Jamie (3:42)
I am not.
Dax Shepard (3:43)
But that's the neighborhood though, yeah?
Jamie (3:45)
It depends to who is, yes, yes, very close.
Dax Shepard (3:48)
And are you close to any lakes? You got some lakes around there, don't you?
Jamie (3:50)
Yeah, Lake Norman, it's a huge lake. Man-made houses and structures still underneath.
Dax Shepard (3:56)
And are you born and bred there, or have you relocated there?
Jamie (3:59)
Relocated 21 years ago from Southeast Virginia, so like Virginia Beach area.
SPEAKER_4 (4:05)
Oh, nice.
Monica Padman (4:06)
We just had someone on who's grew up in Virginia Beach.
SPEAKER_4 (4:08)
We did, we did.
Monica Padman (4:09)
She's not out yet, so it's a surprise.
SPEAKER_4 (4:12)
Okay.
Dax Shepard (4:13)
First of all, I just want to say, we've all told some lies that have gotten out of hand, so I want you to feel like you're in very good company before you embark on this story.
Monica Padman (4:21)
Yes, and we appreciate your honesty.
