Track 1 0:24

Welcome to,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 0:25

My place. Yours, we have a special guest.

Track 1 0:29

Yeah, we do. And my sister Emily is here. Hello. Emily. Say hi to the people I just said hi. Um, so this was very much impromptu. What's going on? Can you hear me?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 0:44

Yes. Do you hear me?

Track 1 0:46

Yeah. Why are you, why are you flailing?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 0:48

Do you hear anything else in the background?

Track 1 0:50

No, 'cause I shut the echo cancellation off.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 0:52

okay. Because Carlton, the second I said hello, I, I don't know if someone also knocked or,

Track 1 0:59

Oh, now I,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 1:00

just said hello, but Carlton is barking.

Track 1 1:02

yeah, I heard that. I heard that now. So,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 1:05

thing, it's a sch.

Track 1 1:06

right. So, um, you know, we needed to do this recording and, uh, and. My energy is not good. My energy is pretty low. And that is the direct result of, I was about to say menopause. Um,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 1:26

That too.

Track 1 1:26

um, PMSing, I'm PMSing and um, you know, this terrible thing has happened to me. I don't have an IUD in anymore, so my body like actually cycles naturally, and I, and I go through the phases of the cycle and. I just feel terrible leading up to my period. So here we are and um, I have Emily here because I needed her to be a crutch in this podcast episode, like she often is in my whole life. My body still cycles with the IUD. It's like a different kind of cycling. Like you can still get your period with the IUD, but you don't have like the highs and lows as severe. Yeah, true.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 2:09

Well, I tried to get my sister on for, I mean, we have more than one sister, everyone, both of us. But the, the main, the main, uh, favorited sister, I, I feel confident in saying that and everyone knows, um, uh, tried to get her on and she said that she was not able to rearrange her schedule in such short notice.

Track 1 2:31

She's literally in college and doesn't have a job.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 2:34

Right. So she is very busy today. I caught her way off guard and um, so we'll have to have Mia on at a different time, we have Emily and we're excited. I've known Emily, since, well, not since the day she was born, but what, you were nine months old or something.

Track 1 2:50

I think we, I think so. Emily's born in August and then we moved in next door. Uh, yeah, maybe like the following June or something like that. Approximately nine months old.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 3:02

Yeah. 'cause it was very similar to, um, like, like you guys moved in and then, um, mom and dad came back with Mia Mia's adopted from China Fam.

Track 1 3:12

Yeah,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 3:12

and

Track 1 3:12

right.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 3:13

they're both like the same age, like by they're How many days apart are you? 10, 15,

Track 1 3:18

Nine.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 3:19

Okay. I was around there. I was close.

Track 1 3:22

Yeah. And so, and and they came, they got Mia when she was about nine months old, right?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 3:27

Oh, yeah, yeah,

Track 1 3:28

Yeah. So we moved in and they may have, they might have been in China when the moving truck was in our driveway, and then a couple days later they came home. It was something very close like that.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 3:38

yeah. I don't know the exact time. I didn't journal as effectively as I do now. That's like, like, you know, when, um, have you seen those, um, memes? It's like, you know, instead of learning how to color in kindergarten, I should have been buying a house.

Track 1 3:50

Totally. Yes. Right.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 3:51

I, instead of, instead of going to middle school, I should have been literally jotting down every by the hour, the timeline of my life,

Track 1 4:00

I didn't learn how to do taxes, but I did learn the mitochondria as the powerhouse of the cell.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 4:03

literally. And I just had to know that the other day at my job. Uh, I never thought that it would be something that I have to know, but it, it was something that came up in casual conversation last week.

Track 1 4:17

I saw a TikTok the other day that said that 100% because you know, theoretically you get half the genes from your mom and half from your dad. 100% of mitochondrial DNA comes from the mother. And I mean, this is TikTok. I, I don't know if it's a, if it's a valid source, but they said a hundred percent comes from the mother of mitochondrial DNA. And that is where you, uh, get your intelligence. Like that is the sole DNA that accounts for your iq. And it's funny because my mom always did tell me that, uh, ain't no way I was half and half of anything. I was definitely. A, a soul, uh, product of of her.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 5:05

Yes,

Track 1 5:05

I think in that way it's accurate. Where do I come from then? I don't know. Dude. Me, Emily is a product of me.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 5:14

Literally, no. There's lots of, I'm gonna save all my comments about that for a later time.

Track 1 5:21

No, I don't know how real it is at all.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 5:25

It feels real, and it feels like it should be fact. And that's all I'm gonna say.

Track 1 5:28

Yeah, no, I think so. So there was this other thing on TikTok that I, I have seen and, and Emily and I have sent back and forth that certainly you haven't seen because you're a dinosaur,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 5:40

Yeah, not

Track 1 5:42

but there's Right, it'll hit Instagram reels in, in three months and, and you'll start seeing 'em. So there's this trend on TikTok that's like older sister trauma and it's. Younger sisters talking about things their older sisters did to them that caused them trauma. And, and I was like, Emily, did I give you older sister trauma? Did I ever, I I had to have, but not like this. Like some of these read that one to her so they, it's set to this very like, classical music and then they just put the text on the screen,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 6:17

Yeah.

Track 1 6:18

um, and the one said, hold on, Emily's gonna pull it up and read it. It says one time my sister, who is nine years older than me, duct taped me to the floor and then pretended the house was on fire and ran outside, leaving me there to die by the fire.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 6:33

Oh my.

Track 1 6:34

And then there was another one that was like, uh, my sister, my older sister was supposed to be babysitting me and she told me we were gonna play pets or like doggy or something like that, like, like dog and cat. But uh, all she did was lock me in the dog cage and make me eat milk bones. Like things like that, like true torture.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 6:55

I didn't do anything like that to Mia. Um, now Tristan would have

Track 1 7:00

You,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 7:01

to say.

Track 1 7:02

you did crazy shit to Tristan.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 7:04

No, Tristan was, uh, it was, it was an all out war. With Tristan. Now Mia, I kind of, I was like the, the gorilla mom from Tarzan. I was like, I'm your mother now, you

Track 1 7:16

were so how much older than than Mia are you? Are you 14 years or something?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 7:20

we're 13 years apart.

Track 1 7:22

It's hard to fight with somebody that much younger than you. Emily and I are nine years apart. Um. And I don't know that we really fought. I just would beat Emily up sometimes,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 7:36

No. Mia is little precious child, angel from heaven who can do no wrong and,

Track 1 7:44

except for that you guys, you guys got in one fight that we don't have to discuss,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 7:49

Oh yeah, we did.

Track 1 7:50

you got in one fight not too long ago, and I thought that was some funny. Funny content. Like you were telling me you were so mad, you were like, listen to this. Listen to what she said. And then I sided with Mia actually.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 8:04

Well, she just, you know, I have to put this in my back pocket to think about this for the next time it happens, you know? 'cause as she gets older, we'll probably fight more now that she's an adult.

Track 1 8:14

Yeah.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 8:15

but she's got, she goes low, she goes low with the insults.

Track 1 8:19

She did. She, she went below the belt and I was surprised about that. 'cause everything else you've told me about Mia is that at the first site of confrontation, she just burst into tears and evaporates

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 8:30

she's a, um, she's a, uh, pending grad student who's a sorority girl who, um, whatever. And so she is above it all, honey. She's above it

Track 1 8:42

pending grad student.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 8:44

yeah, she, she sent her application, uh, last week or something. She'll find out in March if she, and so she graduates with her bachelor's in, in April. And then she's, uh, hoping to. In one of the three programs that she applied to, um, by, uh, spring or not, I'm sorry, fall,

Track 1 9:03

So Right, and, and she did hit.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 9:07

into the house and she, and she's just, you know, she's got a little bit of a two now.

Track 1 9:13

Well, these sorority girls taught her something about something.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 9:16

Well, and she's so funny. She, I was up there to visit her the other day and um, she's over here walking around like a bum, you know, which is total college fashion. You know, the bum chic is whatever. I'm like, Mia, you're going around walking around like this. She's like, oh, don't worry, sissy. Um, I've got the letters, I've got letters. are you talking about? She said her backpack has her sorority, little hieroglyphics on it. And because of that, she, uh, she doesn't, it doesn't have to matter what she looks like 'cause she's already up in upper echelon 'cause of her letters.

Track 1 9:50

She's in high society

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 9:52

Yeah.

Track 1 9:52

now. Um, what was I just about? Oh, Emily is not one that you wanna get into an argument with

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 9:59

We knew that from the day we met her.

Track 1 10:01

for sure.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 10:02

Mia, Mia caught us by surprise. Emily's been consistent since birth.

Track 1 10:08

Emily is a savage.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 10:09

Well, the, when she was born, uh, the exorcist of Emily Rose came out and I was like, okay, this is fabulous. Now she's moved next door.

Track 1 10:17

It came out a year after I was born. Hold on. I'd like to fact. So Emily's name is, is Emily Rose. Literally.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 10:24

I'm, I remember this clear as day 'cause she was nine months old and then, and then the movie came out. I'm like, uh, mom and dad, what's going on here?

Track 1 10:30

Okay. The movie came out in 2005 and it was about a girl whose name isn't actually Emily Rose. This is.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 10:36

it's the movie. The movie says it.

Track 1 10:39

So this is really funny. Emily's birthday is August 20th, 2004. The movie came out September 9th, 2005, so almost, almost to the day, a year later. And it's about a girl. Her name's, I think her name's like, like it's something like Michael Sin or something. The actual, like the true story that it's supposed to be fine. We don't care about the true story. The movie was named after you, you, she was Little Demon Child too.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 11:05

say Emily Michelson, but then they came across you and said, oh, we gotta change it.

Track 1 11:10

Right off of this 1-year-old infant.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 11:15

Literally,

Track 1 11:15

nasty. Little 1-year-old.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 11:16

you were rotten.

Track 1 11:19

Well, I mean was I speak in a bunch of different languages and I don't know what you, nevermind.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 11:26

Your aura. Your aura was not good for being so young.

Track 1 11:29

Well, Emily is like, if you need a. If I was in a text battle with somebody, I would ask Emily how I should respond to 'em,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 11:39

Well,

Track 1 11:40

to hit back.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 11:41

I'll never forget I told you about this just the other day, you know, being on, uh. Talking to, to people of the opposite sex. Emily, I keep thinking all the time about how crazy Emily is because she told, she said one time that she would, you know, match with people or whatever. This was way long ago. Um, but she would match with people and be like, uh, hey Parker, I'm in your air vent.

Track 1 12:03

Yeah. Well, he would, he'd be like, Hey, what are you doing? Where are you? Or how, how would that even come up? It was more like a, like depending on the app, right? Some of the apps you match and they have to say something or you have to say something first, right? Yeah. So if it was one of the regular ones where they could say something and they'd be like, you look like this, this, this, or whatever. I'd be like, oh, well the underneath of your beds really does see, so I don't know if I really wanna hang out. Right, right. And then, um, and then, but you would tell people you were in their air ducts? Yeah. Or can you pass some snacks? Can you like open your air vent and hand 'em over? I hear you eating. I hear, I hear you breathing. You snoring your sleep. Were these things Well,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 12:44

did they say?

Track 1 12:45

yeah. Were they well received? Uh, I mean it kind of depends on the person. Sometimes they just don't reply and sometimes they're like, what block? I think it was typically either like a not response or they'd be like, what? Right. Emily also walks into my house completely unannounced and uninvited often, and will look Frankie dead in his face and be like, what are you doing here? And he is like, I live here. What are you doing here? And and she'll be like, this is my sister's house. I don't know why you're here. Who are you?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 13:25

I am surprised that sometimes Frankie's response isn't like, you know, your guess is as good as mine. I don't know why I'm here either.

Track 1 13:31

Sometimes it is, but like. Also, like Emily will say, sometimes she'll change her tune. It won't be quite so, so venom filled. She'll look at me with the most like adoring face and say, you're such a good person, Mackenzie. I can't believe you've let this homeless guy live here for so long. You said And bathed him yeah, exactly. Frankie just got home from the hospital from working and, and she's like, what's his homeless guy still doing here?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 14:00

my gosh.

Track 1 14:01

No, Emily's a, Emily's a savage. I try my best not to fight with her, but when we do fight, it's the sister thing, which there's a lot of sister things, but it's the sister thing where it's like, didn't you send me something about this? You, you can fight with your sister and then, and then have a conversation five minutes later, like, nothing happened.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 14:19

Yeah,

Track 1 14:20

It's,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 14:20

up, so I'm gonna look up some sister facts.

Track 1 14:23

it's just done. You just let it lie where it lies. I said that to you on like Instagram or something? Yeah. You just, you know, you can, you can fight like cats and then not too long later you just send a funny meme to each other and you drop it and you'd be done with it. Did you send it to me on Instagram? Me and my sister don't apologize. We just suddenly start acting nice to each other. Right.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 14:47

Yeah. Yeah. Uh, that's

Track 1 14:49

it feels.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 14:49

basically what happened with me and Mia. When was the last time you guys got in a fight? I.

Track 1 14:53

We don't fight that much 'cause we're, I'm a little scared to fight with her and I'm Are you a little scared to fight with me? Yeah. Not worth it. It's not worth it. It has to be. It has to be. It has to be really important. Life altering event

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 15:06

Right. Are

Track 1 15:07

you did.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 15:07

rarely on, um, opposite sides of like an argument like, you know, your parents are divorced and, and remarried and whatever. Are you guys ever on opposite, opposite sides? Sometimes.

Track 1 15:20

I don't think so. That was typically beep using one of us to complain to. I guess that's kind of like an opposite side. I get sent all the shit by beep and beep the one calling you and is like, Mackenzie, I, I can't believe beep said this. And you're like, beep I'm not your friend. But then beep calls me Yeah. And tells me to control your beep beep doesn't tell me anything.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 15:42

this was a good two minutes. Sorry that you guys won't be able to hear it.

Track 1 15:45

No, that's all cut out. That can never, that can never exist in the world.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 15:50

Oh,

Track 1 15:50

The thing is, we're not, we're not on opposite sides of of much. Um, I, I really don't. Right. I mean, sometimes I bitch at Emily about her friends. They're kind of weird.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 16:03

Well, I mean.

Track 1 16:04

The three that she's met. Three that I have.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 16:07

The

Track 1 16:08

Thank you

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 16:08

or the three that she's met

Track 1 16:10

both. Both.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 16:12

now, are you still in that, um, car club?

Track 1 16:15

No. That kind of fell apart and they made a new but I was like, I'm gonna just go to the events and not be specifically in one like group.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 16:26

Sir, are you still trying to and furious your car?

Track 1 16:30

Not my SUV when I get a different car.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 16:34

some crazy stuff to it and had like the, the little thing on the little bumper sticker on the back of your car, like you were gonna be riding dirty or something.

Track 1 16:42

No, that was just a sticker for the group. And then, uh, I took my exhaust off to see what it sounded like and put it right back on. That's about it. It just has rims. That's all.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 16:51

All right.

Track 1 16:52

Emily drives a Lexus SUV Mom car.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 16:57

I know this. This is, this is why when I saw her little get up in the back, it's, it's covered in bumper stickers. I'm like, what is so flow? Whatever is this is

Track 1 17:06

There's only two bumper stickers.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 17:08

is Vin

Track 1 17:08

One of

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 17:09

walk around the corner? I remember it being more stickers than that.

Track 1 17:12

these, these people in these, at these car meets like to make fun of Emily much to their dismay for her Lexus SUV mom car that she drives because she hits 'em real quick with the. I know you're not making fun of me with your blank, blank, blank, whatever piece of shit run down. Nobody directly makes fun of my car. But it's always a thing when they're like, oh, we're gonna go race, or we're gonna do this and we're gonna do that. And then they realize that my car is faster than there is, even though it weighs double. What ways? When Emily tells them her car is faster than theirs,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 17:49

Literally we're racing.

Track 1 17:50

not like actually racing.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 17:52

You go out there with like the little flag in your heels.

Track 1 17:56

No, she's the one in the car. Like you're, you're at a stoplight and you're like, broom, broom. Or somebody with their car is like, broom Broom. And it's like the person in their Honda Civic or the person in their um, eco Boost Mustang. And you're like, they're like broom, broom. And you're like, oh, okay. And then you both go and they're like me and you're like me. And then you stop when you hit like 30 miles an hour. 'cause you're not really, not really racing. It's more like a. Like, uh, my car picks up quicker than yours does, even though it has a horse on the front of it kind of thing.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 18:26

Okay. All right. Solid burn there, Emily. We won't be sponsored by Ford anytime soon.

Track 1 18:34

Yeah. Thanks a lot, Emily. We've blacklisted Maybe, maybe Lexus will sponsor us.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 18:43

Seriously?

Track 1 18:44

I wouldn't want Ford as a sponsor.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 18:45

Uh,

Track 1 18:46

Why?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 18:47

yeah, why, why not?

Track 1 18:48

What's wrong with Fords, Emily? Their cars are just pieces of shit. Alright, well you heard it here first,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 18:55

Do you have

Track 1 18:56

not the first time you'll hear it.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 18:57

Why are we backing it up? Let's back it up.

Track 1 19:00

Alright, so just to give you like one example, right? Matthew drives a Ford Fusion. So 2017 Ford Fusion titanium. Within a year of him getting it, the motor went kaplow because. I don't, they had a recall or something. Got the motor replaced. It's great. Right? Uh, now this car is what, six, six years old? Seven. Seven years old. Going on seven this year, seven years old. And uh, every time he fills it with gas, it won't start. You have to like, start it like four times and rev it and get the whole thing going for it to start. Um.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 19:37

you just have a lemon. Yeah, like a bad car.

Track 1 19:43

Now I have heard that Ford stands for found on the road dead. My dad had a Ford F-150 that would die every other week. That's true. And he got rid of it within like three months. True.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 19:55

someone with a and it is always breaking down it seems.

Track 1 20:00

No, they, it is, it is a true thing. Like we've talked about Frankie getting a truck before and. The F1 fifties look nice, but I think, I think we won't, we won't buy one

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 20:11

Yeah. Yeah. They

Track 1 20:12

American.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 20:12

though. I love, I love the way they look.

Track 1 20:15

They're pretty well, uh, the hybrid ones are nice, but that's 'cause it, you know, you don't have to use the engine as much. So four can actually build it and it won't explode. So it doesn't break, so it doesn't break down or blow up every five seconds. I've also heard.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 20:29

I know that breaks all the time.

Track 1 20:32

The hybrid brakes. Matt's mom has more than it's, he's never had any problems. Now, I've also heard bad things about the Ram Dodge Rams. Oh, Dodge is just, everybody knows Dodge is bad. Chrysler Dodge is bad also. So what does that leave you with, like GMC and Chevrolet in terms of trucks?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 20:53

Yeah.

Track 1 20:54

Oh, forgot about them. Yeah,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 20:56

Oh

Track 1 20:56

sorry. Toyota. I literally one

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 21:00

no, the, the thing that I. I, I can't get behind a hybrid because, um, the, at least the hybrid, the hybrid trucks that I've been in, the air conditions, when you stop, when you press the brake and you're at a stoplight, the AC goes out and your girl's sweaty, I'm a sweaty girl,

Track 1 21:18

turns off. I hate that.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 21:19

and then you, the, you go to start it again and you, and it starts, and then you get ac It's like, okay, well I'm glad I gotta be moving to be, to

Track 1 21:25

That's not just hybrids though. That's like, so my mom's Volkswagen had it and my friend's Audi has it. It's the, um, the automatic shutoff because it's supposed to conserve gas, but it's like really bad for your engine and you can turn it on and off. But that's like, that's a, those are in a lot of different cars. Yeah. Not just hybrids.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 21:45

it's horrible. Worth

Track 1 21:46

It's really annoying. It's terrible for your, it's not even good for your car. It's just meant to preserve gas and people are like, woo, less money. I've also heard it costs a lot of gas to start the car up, so how does it make sense to start and stop and start and stop and start and stop?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 21:59

that too. you're

Track 1 22:01

I don't know.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 22:01

you might as well just go instead of slow. Stop and go again. Stop and go.

Track 1 22:05

Right. What else can you teach us about cars? What's kind of your thing?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 22:09

you know how to change an oil?

Track 1 22:11

I do. I do it on my car every month.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 22:13

Oh,

Track 1 22:13

Every month, well, maybe not every month, maybe every, like two or three. I drive a lot. Yeah. I drive a lot. I just found out that my, um, the thing that holds your wheel onto the car that's attached to the thing with the spokes is, um, mine's like totally busted. I don't know what that means.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 22:33

did you just say? Hold on. The thing

Track 1 22:34

Okay. You know where your, you know how your, your wheel right? It has the holes in it and you bolt it in.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 22:41

Not the tire, the silver thing.

Track 1 22:43

Right. The bolt, the middle of it, the, the rim, the bolt, the bolts in the silver part. You know how the bolts screw into this big metal circle with

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 22:53

I've never seen what's underneath that, but Sure. I'll assume

Track 1 22:56

it does. It would make sense. Then it would screw into something. So yeah, your, it screws in with the bolts. The thing that the screws screw into, it's this metal plate and it's attached to, um, like. It's called a, it's a cv, axle joint, and it has a boot. And when the boot, the boot is what, like holds the grease in and how it works because when you turn your wheel and stuff it like, it like moves, so it has grease in it to keep it from breaking and grinding. When you drive race your car, you typically ruin those because you're like. It's just too much friction. So you are drag racing? No,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 23:31

so you're

Track 1 23:32

my car is 14 years old, so eventually they go bad. Right. My boot busted and it's spraying grease all over the underneath of my car. You know,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 23:42

busting before.

Track 1 23:43

that's what I was just gonna say. I think my boot has busted before too, but not the one on my car,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 23:48

No, have busted some boots, honey.

Track 1 23:52

but not a.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 23:55

Oh my gosh. Mia, speaking of Boots. She called me. This was yesterday, and she's like, sissy, you're not gonna believe this. Uh, I drove to Whole Foods. And, and my car got booted. car got booted. I was like,

Track 1 24:10

What booted that Whole Foods.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 24:13

And, she was like, well, I was like, well, what did you do? Like, she's like, well, I called the company and said that someone was already on their way to boot three other cars. And so they would come and they would come and whatever. So she's like, yeah, just $85 to uh, get the boot off my car. I'm like, Mia, like.

Track 1 24:33

Where did she park? I don't understand. If you're in a parking space, they can't boot you.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 24:37

I don't know. She parked somewhere. She, I don't know. She pulled up somewhere and then went to Whole Foods and then went to, met a friend for lunch or something and came out and her car was booted. I'm like, okay, Mia. I mean, I don't know what I would've done. She's like, well, like I, I figured it out and then I called dad dad was like, you know what, Mia? Uh, you should have just Ubered. It's a five minute Uber, but cheaper than the boot.

Track 1 25:04

Well, certainly, but she didn't know she was getting booted, so I mean.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 25:11

a crazy big car, so it would, it's hard for her to get around anyways in the college town.

Track 1 25:17

She may have been in a couple parking spots. That might be why they booted her.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 25:21

is a great driver. Like when I was up there with her the other day, we drove everywhere and she, she backs into all of her parking spots and I'm

Track 1 25:28

You have to,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 25:30

uh, I couldn't do it in a suburban. In these

Track 1 25:33

you're,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 25:34

college spots.

Track 1 25:35

Aon

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 25:36

Yes,

Track 1 25:37

very recently. Yeah. Why? There was a shuffling, the great shuffling of 2023 of the C vehicles. Why did me the largest car possible? Not the largest.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 25:50

the largest, but,

Track 1 25:51

Not the largest, but

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 25:52

she says that she wishes she had something smaller, but she likes it compared to, um, the, the, the crappy car she had before she said.

Track 1 26:02

the bug. Why didn't like it?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 26:05

Uh, I, I don't know. She's a spoiled. She's a spoiled. I don't know.

Track 1 26:12

The great car migration of 20, the great car migration of 2023.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 26:16

Yeah.

Track 1 26:17

So she got your mom's old Suburban,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 26:19

Yes. 'cause mom was sick of it.

Track 1 26:22

which you also drive one of your mom's old cars 'cause she was sick of it. And um, again, that's why I called it the great Car Tion way. You got Emily.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 26:38

Yep.

Track 1 26:38

So anyways, I think that we might have gotten, I mean, I don't know. I don't know. Did we get enough sister content?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 26:50

Oh, I don't know.

Track 1 26:50

I don't know either.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 26:52

Carlton is wailing at the door. I'm, I'm so happy you guys can't hear him.

Track 1 26:56

No, I can't. I did hear him in the beginning. I don't hear him now.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 27:00

I am so hungry. I don't know what to do for dinner. Like, I'm thinking of all the things in my fridge and it's nothing that I want. I've

Track 1 27:07

Thai food.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 27:07

I've still got that Costco soup that I have to eat.

Track 1 27:11

Oh God.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 27:12

to take a trip to Costco, but it's six o'clock at night. It might as well be 10 o'clock.

Track 1 27:18

I also need to take a trip to Costco, but I would never, I don't, I don't leave my house after dark.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 27:24

I know, I know.

Track 1 27:26

That's a crazy thing to do to go to Costco at eight o'clock at night.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 27:28

I mean, it can be done. I, I, I'm childless. I have, I, you know, I, I can't do it. I am a grown woman. I could, I could do it. It just sounds like, it seems like something I couldn't do, I can't do,

Track 1 27:38

Yeah, agreed. You, you, you can't, and you shan't

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 27:42

and I short.

Track 1 27:44

and you shored. Emily would I indeed only go grocery shopping at like eight, 9:00 PM It's usually a target run though. Emily's like a black cat. She only comes out at night. You look at me, it's a bad look. Hey, tell us about toast. Toast is great. I really wanna get a dachshund, despite you saying that I should not get a dog. I want one. And I found the lady

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 28:07

Who is Toast?

Track 1 28:08

toast is my torty, my cat

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 28:10

A what? What'd you

Track 1 28:11

toast. A torty, torty, the type of cat tort. Yeah, they call it like a torty. 'cause it's like, she's like brown, black and yellowish, like mixed in.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 28:21

Okay.

Track 1 28:21

She's like a little Halloween cat. I love her. She's adorable. She only wants attention when she wants it. But I'm moving again in July and I wanna get a dog so that toast has a friend and can be more outgoing. And if I get a small dog, like a weenie, it's gonna be the same size as toast.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 28:38

Listen,

Track 1 28:39

then they can be besties. 'cause my roommate is a little bit, you've gotta, you've gotta tell her, Sierra, talk her off the ledge.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 28:44

okay. You know, in theory dogs sound like a good idea, you know, forever companion, they lick you. They, they're soft and cuddly. They give you more attention than a cat. I understand the appeal of, uh, the appeal of animals. I understand the appeal of a dog. Now, let me tell you, your freedom gets cut in half and that's being. That's being happily generous on your behalf. Your, your freedom gets cut in half the second you get a dog versus a cat. Cats are

Track 1 29:11

90%, your freedom gets cut by 90%.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 29:14

because then

Track 1 29:15

every, every week and have people watching your dogs. I can afford.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 29:18

it takes a lot of time and effort for her to find someone to watch those behemoths. You, you what?

Track 1 29:25

stuck with a job every time

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 29:27

Oh, so

Track 1 29:27

I told that.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 29:28

do anything? You know, you have the ability to say no. Now, do you know that when you get a dog,

Track 1 29:33

No, I don't. She feeds me

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 29:35

when you get a dog, you gotta feed it?

Track 1 29:37

well. I know I have a cat. I already have a responsibility at home and I gotta go take care of. Yeah. But.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 29:42

can be left alone for two days if you, if you have everything full

Track 1 29:46

I also have a roommate that has a dog. So

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 29:49

and the

Track 1 29:50

realistically speaking, if I'm gone for long, I'll be like, Hey Claire, are you gonna be home? And she'll be like, yeah. And I'll be like, can you throw some food in spots bowl? And while you feed Doug? And thanks, that's a terrible mistake.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 30:03

tell you, then Mackenzie can can

Track 1 30:05

Why?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 30:05

Mackenzie can say this and say, when she decided to get her dog, she had the same idyllic, beautiful list of all the things that everyone was gonna do and how wonderful it was gonna be to get Bo and all these things. And I said, Yeah. Well that sounds like the worst idea I've ever heard. But if that's what you're gonna do, then go ahead and do it. And you gonna have to just. Make your bed and then live in it, Emily, if that's all you wanna do. But I'm here to tell you, when you come back in six months saying this piece of shit, weenie dog is the death of me. I'm gonna say, I told you, sot,

Track 1 30:37

You can't leave the dog alone for more than eight hours. I know that. I'm not very, you ever gone for more than eight hours? You are never home. Dude.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 30:48

how are you gonna do this?

Track 1 30:49

Have a time in the last six months that I've been gone for more than a singular night. Also, I only ever go to Matt's and the dog would come with me.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 30:56

Matt wants a dog too. I mean, have you, have you consulted

Track 1 30:59

They've all had, they've had Dachshunds and Matt lives at his parents' house. I'd be mad as hell if I was Matt's mom.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 31:06

mad as hell.

Track 1 31:07

you'd be mad as hell. She doesn't care. She wants another dog. They won't get, I've had the conversation with her multiple times. Let her get a weenie then they can't. Why? 'cause they are actually never home. She travels a lot 'cause his dad's dad is, has cerebral cerebral palsy and lives in New York by himself. His dad's dad is a firefighter and works three days on, three days off.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 31:29

listen. So there goes, one of your babysitters is, all I hear is there's one less person that can help you. When you wanna go somewhere,

Track 1 31:35

I don't need them to babysit it. I got mom.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 31:37

somebody.

Track 1 31:38

Mom is always boarding her dog. Mom's dog is being raised by the, by the, the Pet Alliance of Claremont or whatever it's called. She's being raised by the breeder that mom got her from. No. Now she puts it at the vet, the Claremont Animal Hospital or whatever it is. Oh, no.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 31:54

listen,

Track 1 31:55

I don't ever travel

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 31:56

No one's

Track 1 31:57

in college.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 31:57

for this dog to be boarded either, Emily.

Track 1 31:59

Why would it be I can't leave? I have. Four weeks outta the year that I'm not in school, but as soon as you graduate next year, you're gonna get some money that I pay for the dog to be boarded. If I go somewhere, you're not gonna get that much money.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 32:12

You're not making that much honey

Track 1 32:14

You're gonna get two monies, not four monies, two monies for what

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 32:19

to

Track 1 32:19

you're gonna, one money to live on, one money to maybe go on a carnival cruise. You're not gonna have a second money or a third money to feed a dog and a fourth money to board a dog.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 32:29

a carnival. Man, we have demoted you so hard, Emily, this is all because you did this to yourself. 'cause this, you're gonna be in poverty because of this dog.

Track 1 32:43

Property, considering that it'll literally be just me paying for just myself and one dog.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 32:51

expensive, homie.

Track 1 32:52

I'm not that expensive. You literally asked me if you can take leftovers home from dinner tonight because you can't buy groceries this week. That's literally because the one weekend that I spend money in out of the last, like what?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 33:04

be the one weekend that, that what's his face goes to the T Hospital?

Track 1 33:07

Why would that be the one, the one weekend that I can't spend money on groceries would not be a weekend that I'm boarding my dog and going traveling? You know what it. What it cost to take your dog to the vet once a year to get into re's vaccine. I know. I literally work with dogs every day. You would need five monies. You would not need

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 33:23

how

Track 1 33:23

money.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 33:24

monies do we have folks?

Track 1 33:26

Two. And that's after graduation. Why do I have two monies after getting like a full-time? Why do you have five monies? And I have two Because Because I have a master's degree. After you get a master's degree, you get three more monies.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 33:38

Um.

Track 1 33:39

literally not how that works. I can probably name quite a few people with not master's degrees or any degrees that make more monies than you make monies. Well, they make 10 monies. When you make five monies. They can't. You can engineers make 10 monies and you make five monies and they have bachelor's degrees.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 33:53

are

Track 1 33:53

I make

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 33:54

to be an engineer,

Track 1 33:54

engineers.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 33:55

didn't think so.

Track 1 33:57

No, but what I wanna do makes just as much money as an engineer off the bat. I make what engineers make, if not more. Whatcha talking about

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 34:04

I

Track 1 34:04

some.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 34:05

if, wait, you're gonna, you're in graphic design now.

Track 1 34:09

Graphic design, but graphic design with a graduate certificate in transportation. Design means exterior designer for a car company, which means a hundred thousand dollars a year base. What?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 34:21

you're just walking out with the, with that job. You've, you've been talking to recruiters on LinkedIn.

Track 1 34:25

No. The point is to do, I applied for an internship that I don't find out about for a couple months. What's the graduate?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 34:31

labor.

Track 1 34:32

What's a graduate certificate? Instead of going for a master's degree, you go to graduate school for a graduate certificate because they don't have a program. Right. Okay. So, and then, so you do two semesters and get the certificate instead of doing the whole program. So it's like an AA master's. So instead of two, it's like how you, it is like having two monies, but instead of two monies, you're only gonna have one money, but you're gonna have to do all the work of two monies.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 34:57

That's what I'm

Track 1 34:57

What? Instead of, I'm putting it in terms of monies, but in terms of degrees, you're gonna do all the work of a Master's degree but not get an actual degree? No. It's like two semesters of college. Not, it's

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 35:09

only

Track 1 35:10

like, it's like,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 35:10

is only two semesters.

Track 1 35:13

no, depending on the master's. McKenzie's took hers. You took four semesters. Two semesters. Mine was four semesters, but it was 12 months. But there's, so they're more than two semesters. The certificate is like 12 credit hours. So depending on if you're working fulltime and you do six and six master's is like 12 credit hours for four semesters. So here's my thing. You are gonna be like me and have basically a mock master's degree. So you'll have five monies, then you get your dachshund, right. That's all I'm.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 35:41

Not before.

Track 1 35:43

I was saying why when I graduated, when I only have two monies, what am I making 30 a year am a teacher.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 35:50

I don't know. I don't know the, the, the whole, you know, graphic design. Yes. It's. And, and if, if you're a graphic designer listening, tell me your salary. Go ahead, tell me. Post it. I'll share it. I, I, when I think of graphic design, it seems like such a wide average of, I mean, I know people that work at a local magazine.

Track 1 36:15

Right,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 36:15

I know people that are graphic designers for Nickelodeon.

Track 1 36:18

right. Yeah. I mean, it kind of depends.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 36:20

a, there's a big wide range of what type of graphic designer you can be.

Track 1 36:24

It, well, I mean, it depends on what you wanna do, but I, that's why I wanna get the internship and do the certificate so that I can. Do what I wanna do. She wants to graphic design for car companies and do like, like wraps on cars? No, like, like I'm trying to get an internship with Porsche in like at their like headquarters in Germany. In Germany. And that one would be basically like, it's usually either an engineering major or like a transportation design major or graphic design. We'll do it and it's the people that make. It's usually like a Photoshop thing or like they have some programs that they use that are really ridiculously expensive, but that they use for major companies where you design a car in this like web app type thing. It's those people, the people that do that. So it's like concept design, but they call them like, they'll be like exterior designers or interior designers and you basically make like a mock-up of the car and that's what they do for a living. So it's kind of like. You have the person that paints the picture of the car and then you go to the engineer who decides this doesn't work with this aerodynamic thing, and then you produce the car. So you would be step one, designing the cars, and then the engineers would come after you and say, we can or can't do that. Pretty much. That sounds like five monies, maybe even six.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 37:46

I just don't know how you get the five monies. You step right off the, off the graduation stage into five money land.

Track 1 37:54

You get an internship, which is putting you into two monies, land, and then you graduate and you go to graduate school for the certificate. Then you have your certificate, your bachelor's degree, and your experience prior to applying, and then you apply for the five monies. There are certain careers where you can step off the stage and get five monies and, and engineers, engineers are one of 'em, like they make six figures right off the bat, so, so I believe you just don't get a docs until you have five monies and you don't have five monies next year.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 38:31

right now, if you've got a dog right now, you know, I know that you've got this plan and, and that's great and wonderful. at a stage in your life where things change and shift and plans move around. So there, I think the next one to two years of your life. As is everyone in your age bracket is so, there's so much moving and shaken. Adding something like a dog is such a permanent and chain that you don't necessarily need right now.

Track 1 39:02

I mean, if you're gonna go get an internship in Germany, like you definitely don't need a wiener dog.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 39:07

spot gonna go for Germany? I actually know a lot of, a lot, I know a lot of facts about having to shuttle dogs to and from Germany. It is not cheap and uh, they, they require all certain visas and all and quarantine times. It's crazy.

Track 1 39:23

She wouldn't take it. It would have to stay here. But I just thought about something. If you go there for that internship, what if you love it and you stay there and live there forever in Germany? What if you end up like graphic designing? How am I gonna graduate school when I take a break from school for three months to do an internship? I have to come back and do school. I know you'll come,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 39:41

These things happen, Emily,

Track 1 39:43

but what if you, what if you end up getting your five money job with Porsche and you go and live in Europe?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 39:50

and then you meet

Track 1 39:51

I

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 39:51

some

Track 1 39:51

Europe, she won't even miss me. Well, I don't even know.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 39:56

I mean, we will, we will go to Germany

Track 1 39:59

Well, assuming that, first of all, I'm still dating the person that I'm dating and that's going, there's, there's a lot of factors that play into me just moving to Germany. I'd also have to come back and English my degree before.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 40:09

The next two years is very, you know, we don't know if you're coming and going, but that Dotson when it.

Track 1 40:14

Thein could come to me in Germany if I moved there permanently. If you moved permanently. Yeah. What am I gonna do with toast for the internship? Oh, Lindsay will take care of toast.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 40:25

This is why people love cats more than Dogs.

Track 1 40:27

will take care of toast. Mom's gonna leave the country for six months and let my cat die. What?

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 40:33

of Claremont will take care of toast. Okay.

Track 1 40:36

Nowhere. I was just saying theoretically she would manage to plan that. I'd be in Germany for another 10 days and she'd be like, by the way, I'm leaving for three months, so Toast is gonna have for 10 days. I left toast on my back porch. Hope she's okay. I couldn't find toast this morning. Isn't she an outside cat? That's a direct quote that has, that's occurred before. Um, you're already trying to figure out who's gonna keep toast and you wanna have toast and spot. Oh, I'm not gonna even get this internship, so maybe I will just get a spot and stay in Florida. Oh my God. If Emily goes to Germany, I guess, I guess the podcast is gonna Germany.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 41:19

And we'll have to arrange it with Mia's schedule,

Track 1 41:22

We can do, um, more, we better go ahead and put that on Mia's calendar now. Right. Could you get the dates for us Mia Mark off August, 2025 through thir through 13th through 17th of 2026. Man, when Mia gets five monies, then she's gonna be real bitchy about booking time with.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 41:48

Yeah, she is.

Track 1 41:49

Great. We'll never see her again.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 41:52

Oh, I know.

Track 1 41:53

Well, on that very sad note,

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 41:56

I'm

Track 1 41:57

guess we'll call it. We'll call it a day. Thanks for coming.

squadcaster-3e4g_1_02-05-2024_173921 42:01

Track 1 42:01

Thanks for having me. You're welcome. Anytime. Not really. You're not welcome here all the time.
