Come hang out with the hosts of Nostalgic, Aaron and Ashley, as they give "their story" and let you know who will play them if there was a movie made of their lives!
Hello world. I'm Ashley
Aaron:And I'm Aaron and we'd like to introduce you to our new podcast, Nostalgic
Ashley:Yeah, we've got this, right?. Hey everyone, thanks for joining us. I know everybody's excited about us putting our our first episode. So we just wanted to throw together a little Q and A for people to kind of, know who they're going to be hanging out with.
Aaron:Hey, we're here. We're getting to know each other, not me and you, but...
Ashley:I mean, we are even though we had the same childhood, we still had different experiences. I think that's a lot of our conversation. It's either validating or like, okay, this is how I experienced is this how this went for you? And you're like, yes. Or you're like, that's different for me. So
Aaron:yeah. Like, I don't remember that. Or I thought that was awesome. Okay. So let's do this. You want to go first? Or you want me to go first?
Ashley:I'm going to ask the questions.
Aaron:I can do that. I'm going to answer and mood!
Ashley:I'm going to put you like, this is my light.
Aaron:I see it. It's shinin.
Ashley:Hello!
Aaron:Hi!?
Ashley:What is your first and middle name, sir?
Aaron:Aaron, Dwayne. I don't know. I worked for a guy, his middle name is De-wayne. And so they always be like,DE-WAYNE! I'm like, NO. It's DA Wayne, they're like"What's the difference?" I'm like, well, you're right. I don't know.
Ashley:It's a big difference, it's like T'pain and T-pain Exactly. like nostalgic or nostalgic,
Aaron:That was going to be one of my rapid questions, but I already knew the answer.
Ashley:What year were you born, sir?
Aaron:Eighty One!
Ashley:OH, crazy 80s! Are you married or do you have any children?
Aaron:Both! Happily married and, my son, Patrick 16, going on 25. He's all grown up.
Ashley:And he's a giant now.
Aaron:Yeah. That's crazy. He's more mature than I am by far.
Ashley:I have my days, you know, I feel like some days I got it
Aaron:I'm mature when I have to be. Right? THAT COUNTS!! He's embarrased.
Ashley:Well, yeah, that's a teenager. They're embarrassed of everything. Um, What's your story?
Aaron:Life. You know, military, in and out of trouble I've learned the hard way at a lot of things. finally got my act together and, readyto rock now. Living the good life,
Ashley:Living in the country,
Aaron:What don't people know about you that you'd like them to know? I guess that, I'm pretty outgoing most of the time, but a lot of times. I can b e shy I mean, most times they, see a big tall tattooed guy and I think that, I'm pretty confident, but it's not always the case, I can be pretty shy sometimes.
Ashley:yeah, that was a surprise to me. Cause I'm introverted, but I don't consider introverted being shy. Introvert is I'm not doing the small talk I want to get in deep. so if you're talking about the weather and all that, I'm just not in. I'm like, Nope, I'm not wasting my energy on that. Shy to me is more like nervous.
Aaron:Yeah. That's kinda how I can be especially with coaching you know, you have to be to where you can speak in front of people and get your messages across But sometimes it, it really takes a lot for me to be able to do that. especially with a new team, you know, new players, and they're like"who the...?","Whos this guy?",
Ashley:and people are different, it's hard to like make a message. That's going to reach everyone
Aaron:But that's part of coaching, you know, different kids are coached different ways, just like any leadership position, you just have to learn, which ones need to, be coached harder. Some that don't need it as much. And so
Ashley:yeah. You see how they respond to, okay. They're not that guy that's going to take being yelled at. Like if I had a personal trainer, I'm not going to have the personal trainer, that's in my face yelling like bootcamp that cause I've makes me a rebel. I'm like"I don't have to do anything you say!"
Aaron:Right, you're not the boss of me!"
Ashley:So, I think I told you this I went to one of those, 5:30 AM, bootcamp classes. And by the end of it, both of us were like, Nope, we're grown We're not getting yelled at. We're not going to do the group thing where it's okay, the person who performs the least, everybody else has to do stuff to get you motivated. I don't care if they have to do more burpees, like that doesn't affect me. Run slower. that. Ain't gonna make me run faster, bad getting there early. Okay. What would you tell your kid self?
Aaron:To not care about what people thought so much and not tryto fit in all the time and, just do things for the wrong reasons,
Ashley:I think that's good advice for any kid. Encouragement is good, I think our messaging was be small.
Aaron:don't think you're right.
Ashley:If money weren't an issue. What else would you be doing job wise. And where would you live?
Aaron:The first thing that comes to my mind would be a poker player or a gambler, but I know that's not realistic because, I guess, money would be an issue. You'd have to have money to make money and then I'd probably lose it.
Ashley:Gamble it all away.
Aaron:Yeahhhh I probably would, but if I had enough of it. you know, I think I'd be really good at being a teacher. I think I'd really enjoy it, but. it's just, it, money does matter, when I played, for the college. I spent a lot of time with the, athletic director and the, Dean of students up there. And, we talked and he said, man, I've been doing this a long time. And he's like I used to be a career counselor. And he was like, dude, you're a teacher. You know what I'm saying? And so he's always like, when you finished up your bachelor's, come back and teach for me, But honestly it would be a huge pay cut, I would have to give up this, rich and lavish lifestyle that we're living
Ashley:Yeah, It's hard to go back once your making that Paper!
Aaron:It's tough, Cause my job now it's, it's not a great, but it's, stress-free, Allhave to really worry about myself. And I'm invested now.
Ashley:So What is one thing you've put on your bucket list?
Aaron:I'd really like to do the, the west loop, The Grand Canyon, Lake Havasu, Hoover Dam up in that area. I've been through but I was riding with a truck driver, when were you going to California? And we could see the signs for the grand canyon. I'm like, isn't there a way we can go. And he's like, no, we got to get to California. so I've seen the sign and I got to see part of lake Havasu, but that's about the most, but I really want to do it and explore,
Ashley:yeah, that's a good list. would you live in an RV
Aaron:Yes. And also want to do the trip that you guys did the, uh, route one, I wanto to do that. That's on the list
Ashley:It's beautiful. We just had, One of my coworkers moved to Seattle and she was sending pictures and I just was like,Blah!
Aaron:All right. If a movie was made about your life, what genre would it be and who would play you? I guess it would be like an apocalyptic, zombie, like end of the world. I don't know why that just would be
Ashley:Ok so, When you're talking about apocalyptic though, are you talking a 28 days later? fast zombie or old school slows zombies?
Aaron:like Resident Evil Apacolypse so probably the slow ones.
Ashley:The fast ones scare the crap out of me.
Aaron:Yeah, they are creepy. I'm going to say slow just for my for my movie.
Ashley:So I can get away!
Aaron:So I can live. I want to live.
Ashley:Walking dead. are they slow in that? I haven't watched it. I mean, I have a little bit, but yeah.
Aaron:The fresh ones are fast and they've kind of evolved a little bit, but the old ones are slow it just depends on,
Ashley:so it wouldn't be that kind it'd be the, Thriller video.
Aaron:Yeah. That's it? Yeah. The real slow leg dragging,
Ashley:Yes. Got it. Okay. Who's gonna play you though.
Aaron:So I was either thinking Machine G un Kelly. Cause he's an actor now.
Ashley:Is He? Didn't hegive really bad reviews on his own movie.
Aaron:He was in dirt where you play MotleyCrue.
Ashley:Oh.
Aaron:He was in bird box. you remember the young couple that left, really early? The ones that were having sex on a washing machine?
Ashley:Oh. Alright. Know, I was thinking about the new one he did. Didn't he do one with his wife and I just read, he was just like, what a piece of shit.
Aaron:Oh no, I don't know anything about that. Or what's the dude from"Road Trip"that always get caught jacking off? You know what I'm talking about? The real weird looking dude.
Ashley:Okay. I don't know his name, but yeah, he was big in the nineties movies for awhile there.
Aaron:Yeah, the real goofy guy. Huh? What else did he play in? Didn't he play a lead in a high school movie and he. It was the new guyor something like that? He did
Ashley:I doubt watched it. I just remember the cover and he was with a sword like a He-man situation?
Aaron:And then he was in a show called Z nation. which is...
Ashley:Zombies?
Aaron:Yeah. It's it was on ScyFy. It was pretty good. It was almost making fun of the zombie apocalypse. They had Z-weed. You know like zombie weed. DJ Qualls.Is this dude's name.
Ashley:I would have never in a million years.
Aaron:I MDB!
Ashley:AKA, my second Bible. All right, so at gunpoint, who would it be? Machine Gun Kelly. I think machine gun Kelly would be okay.
Aaron:Okay. When I played for ECTC that's what people always used to call me MGK all the time. White, tattooed dude. So
Ashley:All right. When did you first feel like an adult?
Aaron:When I had a kid of my own and I got peed on. and I'm like, This is it. this is adulthood. Mainly just having kids. you realize like, Aw man, I'm old.
Ashley:Is it, is there a shift in perspective of the things that I used to think were important aren't? Was there any of that going on?
Aaron:You always have, where you're like, gah, what was I thinking? you shift from going to the club and drinking and partying too. Now I have a human being that depends on everything.
Ashley:That's terrifying to me.
Aaron:It is. Yeah. I still don't 16 years and I'm still trying to figure it out, but getting better, I'll have it figured out by the time he's in college.
Ashley:Learning! Okay. I guess you can ask me and then we'll rapid fire.
Aaron:Okay. Let's start off, your first and middle name?.
Ashley:Ashley Butterworth, because that is my middle name now. I am married and I am Ashley Butterworth, Hannah. Yeah, but still in the middle. cause they wouldn't let me hyphenate it when I went to the thing to change it. so they said, we can put it as your middle name.
Aaron:Does Dad know that?
Ashley:Dad doesn't
Aaron:whaaaaaaaat?? He does now when he listens to this,
Ashley:I like the Butterworth also. My passport doesn't match, because Butterworth is my middle name and it's on my ID they let me through. I just, couldn't give it up. So dad may understand that yes, I did give up my middle name, but I kept his last name
Aaron:you're right. I think if you had to choose one, I think he would rather, I don't know. I don't want to.....
Ashley:Ahhhh! It's Ashley Louise nickname, Wheezy Mom used to always call me Wheezy.
Aaron:Stink Wheezey.
Ashley:LOL Hey!
Aaron:What year were you born?
Ashley:I was born in 1983, a magical year, long, long ago.
Aaron:things are still in black and white, Married? Children?
Ashley:I am married to a lovely engineere gentlemen with no children, but we are trying to remedy that. I do have furry children, but you didn't say your furry children. So I can't say mine.
Aaron:Five, five furballs.
Ashley:Yeah. And I'm always trying to figure out, and I'm the crazy dog lady. Everybody's like How manydogs you got now? And I'm sitting there like this fool is flying under the radar with his five. And at one time six dogs, nobody's calling you the crazy dog guy.
Aaron:That's because they're part of our family They drive me nuts. One of them has a really upset stomach right now.+So there's been, I know, it's been brutal.
Ashley:Inside or outside?
Aaron:Inside. And they're a ninja, Okay. we're getting back to it. Number four. So what's your story?
Ashley:I mean, if you read my bio on our website, OurNostalgicPodcast.com it's most of my story, but For somebody who's never met me, what would I say? My story. Wasn't a couple sentences. Military kid Born in Hawaii, also joined the military out of high school, went to school for something that I don't do. And. I have a really boring story.
Aaron:Your story. Doesn't end here though. I feel like if I'm trying to sell somebody on listening to our podcast. My story is not very exciting. I don't know anybody famous. We met Naughty by Nature in Switzerland. That was pretty cool.
Ashley:Which I never would have picked out. If you hadn't known what they look like!
Aaron:Treach!
Ashley:Who knows what they look like?
Aaron:Me!
Ashley:Yeah. You should be in some kind of Guinness book of records for that. Cause I'm like who could pick Naughty by nature out of a lineup? How many hands do you think would go up? Not very many.
Aaron:I bet more than you think. Poll question coming up. Put a picture of Treach and Vinny D upand be like,"Who is this?
Ashley:They can't do Google goggles is that sort of thing.
Aaron:It's like reverse Google, but yeah, it's the same thing.
Ashley:a a friend of ours partnered a hair on the side. And when we did Google goggles, a horse came up.
Aaron:Oh no,
Ashley:It was like a main I think, but we were like, Okayy y.
Aaron:She didn't have like big teeth did she?
Ashley:Nope! Beautiful smile. We could tell why it did it. I felt like it was early stages where it I was like take the biggest thing in the picture and yeah, but we were just like, I don't even know how to respond
Aaron:laugh and roll. Uh, let's see onto the next, what don't people know about you that you'd like them to,
Ashley:for me, it's similar to yours where I think because I've had jobs where I interact with a lot of people that people think I'm really good with people, but really I like animals a lot. I don't like people that much. I like engaging, I like deep conversation I think it's That I've give off that I'm very confident in it, but I'm not, I can just turn it on, but it takes a lot out of me. I really have to prepare. So if Dustin has something coming up that he needs me to go to, he has to tell me pretty far in advance. So that week I can really restrain my social. So when I go, I can have enough energy to be engaged because if you throw something on me, it is not going to be fun for anybody. I'm not a spontaneous person
Aaron:that kind of goes back to, when did you feel like adult used to, it'd be 10 o'clock at night. Hey, let's go out and do this now. It's somebody asks you to do something at seven. You're like, whoa, dude."It's seven o'clock, bro!"
Ashley:I know And, here too. So we live far outside the city, And we have to think okay, we got to get ready and then we gotta get a car and has been, take us half an hour to get there. And then two hours there an hour. We're like, no, I'm good. I always talked about how I never got happy hour when I was younger. I was like, why is it so early? I don't understand. Everybody goes out at 10 and 10 30. And then later I get it. I get to go drink,
Aaron:Senior citizens discount.
Ashley:Yeah have some snackies, go drink be in bed on time, get to work. it works. It just took me a while to get there. Part of adulthood.
Aaron:Yeah, the awesome part. What would you tell your kids self?
Ashley:Without being super depressing? Like you're going to be all right. Don't look back.
Aaron:Let's just go.
Ashley:Let's just go, man. I think it's similar to what you were saying. Like Not caring so much what people thought or you can look out for yourself and it's not necessarily selfish. I think that's one of the things that. has come down, the family is having needs means you're needy. And I don't think that those are the same thingsI I pep talk myself a little bit and be like, you can advocate for yourself. it's okay. You're not going to piss anybody off or whatever we have been taught, you know, get to the front of the line! I had do that recently. I was at the zoo And the orangutan, which is my favorite, is up at the glass. And all of these kids are in front of you and you just don't want to be that adult who's like move a kid. I want to be by the orangutan.
Aaron:Aw Dude, I'll push some kids out of the way.
Ashley:My therapist was like,"Get up There!" and next time I was like ROAR! I'm bigger than you!
Aaron:I will man, I'll knock a kid over to see the orangutan.
Ashley:kids don't have the, t hought of other people, they're just like, I see something, I want to touch it.
Aaron:Squirrel!
Ashley:I also want to touch it, but you feel like you have to be restrained. so I would tell my little self, get the biggest piece of cake. It's not selfish to like need stuff. make waves. It's fine. A new one I learned is conflict is not combat Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't mean that they are your mortal enemy and that's a new one for me too. It was like, oh, you're on the opposite. End of me. All right. Cool. You've picked a side. I'm on the other side.
Aaron:You're gonna die on this hill.
Ashley:It's having to say all right. we disagree so that we can still be friends. Yeah! Still be chums.
Aaron:If money weren't an issue, what would you be doing job wise?
Ashley:I would be a puppeteer.
Aaron:You could work on Labyrinth or Sesame Street
Ashley:I always think about Sound of Music when they do the really cool ones and it's like Yodeling Yodeling Hee Hoo Yeah, I think I would hang out with puppets. And you brought up our puppet show the other day and it really brought back. oh my God, I could have done that for a living
Aaron:Our 2 Legit 2 Quit puppets.
Ashley:I used to make jokes about that all the time too with Dustin. He's like, I'll support you in whatever you want to do. And I'm like,"What if I want to be a puppeteer? What if I went and did that tomorrow?"He said"Okay." like, I think he knows I'm not serious. He's getting points by saying that.
Aaron:I may or may not have put my puppets clothes on backwards and did Kris Kros, JUMP.
Ashley:In front of people?, or by yourself?
Aaron:I don't want to say that I was playing with my puppet by myself. haha.
Ashley:It's fine.... It's just us.
Aaron:He was my only friend okay!
Ashley:You Leave Thomas Alone!
Aaron:Shit! Awww you took it away from me. I was going to. Yeah!
Ashley:He like pops up next."You gonna let her talk to me like that?". I bet there's a video somewhere.
Aaron:one might surface one day.
Ashley:Yeah. Once we become famous, all those videos, Oh, the dance recitals.
Aaron:those really do exist.
Ashley:(Singing) I'd like to be, under the sea. I have some of those pictures on our website at our nostalgicnostalgicpodcast.com.
Aaron:Okay. Moving on. What is one thing that you put on your bucket list?
Ashley:I want to swim with whales, I looked it up and you can do it around Thailand somewhere. And I'll probably completely crap my pants. Cause I almost did that even with manatees and they are the gentle cows of the sea, but I just want to be in the water with one, even if it's just for a second.
Aaron:Didn't you tow that big dead whale in one time when you were in a Coast Guard or?
Ashley:Yes. I would like to be with a live whale that doesn't stink and its intestines are in its body and not dragging behind it. I have seen them in the water, with their spouts but I've never gotten the picturesque Free Willy jump and splash.. I know they do boat sightings, but I actually want to get in the water.
Aaron:Would you play the Michael Jackson free Willy song while you swim with the whales?
Ashley:I don't even remember that song. can you sing it?
Aaron:No.
Ashley:Dang it!
Aaron:He did the whole soundtrack He did the whole sound drag for uh....you don't remember this? Oh. Something aboutGeorgia or Jordan.
Ashley:Okay. I don't even know if I knew that was on Free Willy.
Aaron:Oh, I did.
Ashley:I think this interview is telling much more about you than it is me. W e're getting a lot of good info. Not on my side, but These are the kinds of things I need to know. like, we talked about the trivia. See, I would never get that trivia question. And you would have been all over it.
Aaron:I'm pretty good at the music trivia. last question. Oh no, we have two more questions. if there was a movie made about your life, what genre would it be and who would play you?
Ashley:Okay. I already know Maggie Gyllenhaal would play me. Because of her role in Stranger Than Fiction, which is one of my favorite movies ever. She's this sassy baker who falls in love with will Ferrell.
Aaron:Wasn't she in Batman too?
Ashley:She was. She's been at a bunch of stuff like Mona Lisa Smile. She was in the one where she was. Prostitute teacher or secretary So, I would like to say would be a cool eighties movie, like 16 candles, because that's how I want it to be. But really, I think it would be an indie flick. And my definition of an indie flick is those ones on Netflix that you put on your queue, but you're never in the mood to watch because it looks like it's going to be really serious and boring.
Aaron:Right, I don't have the energy today.
Ashley:Yeah. And the thing that we say about indie flicks is I'm almost never satisfied when they end, because they don't have your typical, like you've got your protagonist and the antagonist and there's this arc and they're losing. And in the end, the good guy wins where these you have lived in the day in the life of someone else, but there's no. closure.
Aaron:You don't have to insinuate on what the hell is going on
Ashley:or there's no sweet little bow. good guy way it's bad guy loses.
Aaron:Why would you want that as your life?
Ashley:cause I feel like that is my life, I'm not in the mood to do it both days.
Aaron:When you said indie first, I was thinking of Bollywood, like, why would you want to do that?
Ashley:Oh I would!
Aaron:I'll have to send you this, Bollywood version of Superman Oh, it's amazing.
Ashley:When I worked at Alamo, there was one season where the pre shows was all Bollywood video, I didn't know a thing they were saying, but man, it's like you had to stop it and watch it. You were just like, I don't what's happening, but it looks fantastic. I liked it at the end of Slumdog millionaire. That was cool.
Aaron:I've never seen that one actually.
Ashley:Oh, it's good. I think when you read about it, you're kind of like, I don't know if it sounds good, but it was really good.
Aaron:That was just one of those that everybody told me I HAD to watch so I'm like, I don't have to do anything.
Ashley:Yeah like we talked about earlier.
Aaron:Okay, cool. You just want to stick with you and shoot into some rapid-fire or you want to switch?
Ashley:Yeah, let's go. I'm feeling greased up.
Aaron:Okay. if you could only eat one food for a week, what would it be?
Ashley:Bananas?
Aaron:Is it better to ask for permission or beg for forgiveness?
Ashley:forgiveness.
Aaron:On a scale of one to 10, how good of a driver are you?
Ashley:I'm going to give it a six because I have had a few accidents lately, but per the insurance, none are my fault. Although, if you go to one of those safety classes, I do all the things they say not to do. So I definitely put makeup on and I eat, but I drive And I use my turn signal, which I can not say for half the people in Houston. you know, I'm going to give myself a six for that one!
Aaron:Six it is, Are socks acceptable to wear with sandals.
Ashley:no, but there might be evidence of us at Disney world to say otherwise, but I'm going to stick with no.
Aaron:Okay. not in an airplane. What's the fastest you've ever been in a vehicle.
Ashley:I mean...a hundred? I think it was someone else driving though. I don't know that I've gotten up to a hundred.
Aaron:187 for me.
Ashley:Was that on a motorcycle.
Aaron:Yeah, but I've been like 160 in a car.
Ashley:T hat's insane. How do cars go that fast? What kind of car was it?
Aaron:a little, toyota Celica.
Ashley:I did not think they went that fast.
Aaron:Oh yeah, okay.
Ashley:I have so many questions.
Aaron:You'll have your chance. What does the acronym SCUBA stand for?
Ashley:Certification, under? Yeah, I don't know.
Aaron:Self contained, underwater breathing apparatus. what would you call somebody that has a fear of cheese?
Ashley:From under phobia.
Aaron:Frum-Unda.
Ashley:Yeah From Unda!
Aaron:Turaphobia is the correct answer.
Ashley:Hey! you said you said, what would I call that? I think my answer's correct.. That was not the question.
Aaron:Finish this sentence: Kanye west is blank...
Ashley:Ye..
Aaron:Today. You're right.
Ashley:Yeah. And I typically wouldn't know that, but I read the article yesterday for some reason, so,
Aaron:Okay. sour patch, kids or Swedish Redfish.
Ashley:Um, that are both my favorite and I cannot hurt the feeling of one. You know what? I'm going to go with sour patch kids, because one, I like the commercials and two, they are consistent. Where, I don't know if it's here in the U.S. Or they've changed it, but sometimes Swedish fish are a little harder and waxier. Maybe they're older. Where Sour Patch kids are always good.
Aaron:They're at the Stop and Go sitting in the bin waiting for us
Ashley:oh yeah.
Aaron:The penny candy.
Ashley:The Stop in lot! Right.?
Aaron:Yeah the Stop A Lot! Lot.
Ashley:YeahThose were good!. Those are the best Swedish fish I've had in my life.
Aaron:I know.
Ashley:I don't even know. Did they have a scoop?
Aaron:No they just handed'em. Yeah.Nicotine Hands! Pick a team hands All right. these are going to get harder. Have to pick one. Cats or dogs? As you look at your cats and dogs looking at you like"You know we can hear you, right?"?
Ashley:Right now I want to say dogs because Cole is right behind me and he's looking at me, but I think I'm
Aaron:So What's the final?
Ashley:It's cats. Oh, both of the dogs are in there now look, They're so loyal.
Aaron:I never thought you'd be a cat lady.
Ashley:And I think the other thing is I don't know what this says about me as a person, but cats make you work for it. They're hard to get it's like a date. the more you try, the less they want you and you gotta play it. Cool.
Aaron:Were you the one talking about if you're really nice to them, they'll show you their butthole?
Ashley:They show you their butthole. Anyway. Trust me. It's a butthole fest. yeah
Aaron:,I may have the complete wrong analogy on that Okay. So no cats, no dogs. What other animal would you have as a pet?
Ashley:Otter first. sloth second. Uh, But Otter, I heard they're mean, but they hold hands and they're just so fun to watch.They always look like they love life.
Aaron:Yeah, they do. I've seen them in the wild. They're really cool.
Ashley:They're so amazing. Close second is the sloth. Cause that's more that's my personality.
Aaron:That was a my next question. What animal is your spirit animal??
Ashley:Yeah, sloth. We're slow, but we get there eventually.
Aaron:And you get to poop in trees.
Ashley:Okay.
Aaron:That's another story.
Ashley:That's a whole nother story all together. He was beaten to death with his own shoes.
Aaron:All right. What is the worst smelling place you've ever been?
Ashley:An Outhouse?
Aaron:Well, I would say..... I've been to some construction site porta, Johns that are pretty gamey. and then, the porta John's when I was deployed in, Kuwait were pretty bad too, but
Ashley:Were they actual Porto Johns or were they outhouses?
Aaron:Both. Yeah,
Ashley:Did someone have to clean them?
Aaron:Yes. I never told you about the shit ninjas?
Ashley:I don't think so.
Aaron:Do we have time for this or?
Ashley:Uhm Yeah! this is our world!
Aaron:So cause I had the top secret clearance part of my crew was to escort different crews around to the base So one of my jobs was to escort the guys that cleaned out the porta Johns and the hard stand latrines that had an actual septic tank and it was three guys in white suits and two of them were The big old dudes. And one of them was a little person and it looked like if you had music, it would because they were always picking on each other and fighting and chasing each other around. And it just like(singing a tune
Ashley:like the Benny Hill music?,
Aaron:Exactly. I couldn't think of it, but it was just, I just called him the shit and then just, and they cleaned out these porta Johns and these porta-potties And we would drive at 20 miles off base and they would just spray it out into the middle of the desert. And it was the greenest, Oasis you've ever seen the grass was grown, where they were spraying all this crap.
Ashley:I feel like someone's coming upon them. And they're like, I want to roll down hill.
Aaron:They probably will. If they were lost in the desert and they'd be like, oh my gosh, It's an Oasis! Yeah. The shit Ninjas.
Ashley:Were they Military?
Aaron:Oh, no These were civilians. these were Kuwaiti nationals. that's why I had to escort around the base.
Ashley:Okay, I was like, what kind of trouble do you have to get into for that to be your job?
Aaron:Nah, Part of my detail was to escort, civilians and different contractors around different jobs All right. Moving on what is a childish thing that you still enjoy to do?
Ashley:um, you still giggle when people say stuff, like you do do that.
Aaron:that was one of my rapid questions. Like, what's one word that you giggle every time you hear it
Ashley:Still, every time one of the cats it's the little BOING thing it cracks me up. and Dustin sometimes I'll do it and he'll go grow up.
Aaron:My 16 year old tells me. He was like DADDDDDD. okay, I've got a couple more, uh, I know I had way over 10, but I really enjoy this.
Ashley:If you could be anyGolden Girl, which one would you be? I want to be Sophia, but back in the day, most of my friends said that I would be. Dorothy, I would be Bea Aruthur cause I'm cynical, I'm snappy, Ya know.
Aaron:She's a Bad ass though! What's your least favorite household chore?
Ashley:I would say dishes and laundry just because they never stop.
Aaron:They never end.
Ashley:it's only two of us so I don't understand people with family and kids.
Aaron:Oh yeah.
Ashley:Like half the time. The reason I don't want to cook at home is because I don't want to do dishes. Don't want to clean! I don't want to make a mess. Yes.
Aaron:Yeah, alright. Last one. Besides a gun or a crossbow in the zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice?
Ashley:I'm going to go with an ax, but Nothing from a distance though. so no guns?
Aaron:Yeah. I want to some kind of melee weapon.
Ashley:I was trying to think of what the weapons, the ninja turtles. And I was like, no, I don't want Nun chucksI don't want psys, I don't want a bow.
Aaron:M y choice would be a Caetano samurai sword. Leonardo. like Michonne from the walking dead. She was bad-ass. The psys would work, but a feel like you had to get too close and they would get stuck like in their head.
Ashley:That's kinda what I feel with an ax. You got to do that thing where you put your foot on them and pull it out. And it might take more than one whack. How about a skill saw, but then you got to plug it in. A battery powered skill saw!
Aaron:Yeah but the batteries die and the blades get down. Yeah it was a tough question. It was a tough question. Okay
Ashley:I think I would just go live on a boat.
Aaron:They tried that in the walking dead and it didn't work.
Ashley:Do they swim?
Aaron:So they swim and you would have to go back to the main land, eventually, Unless you want to roll with it like Kevin Costner in Waterworld. Where he peed on the lemon tree and but he had gills behind.
Ashley:Yeah. He can breathe under water. That's not fair. Okay. You ready for your rapid fire? Describe yourself in three words,
Aaron:little yellow, different.
Ashley:Hahah Nuprin!
Aaron:Uh, Oh man. It's a whole lot harder when you're getting asked the questions.
Ashley:Yeah.
Aaron:tall, tattoo and beard. It was the first kind of three that popped in my head. So, What's your spirit animal?
Ashley:it would be a dog I know this is rapid fire, but because they're, outlook on life?.
Aaron:yeah. Everything they do is the best thing ever, no matter what they love unconditionally, they get to pee on anything they want to,
Ashley:I mean, you could do that.
Aaron:Oh no, I do that. People frown upon it when I do it, We praise our dogs when they peeoutside. But when I do it in the yard, the neighbors call the cops,
Ashley:You're like Me, and Myself and Irening it with a newspaper. All right. what are you watching right now?
Aaron:You,
Ashley:and that's it. You don't watch more than one.I kinda do a lot...
Aaron:Uh, Hell's Kitchen. That's like our background.
Ashley:watching the same thing over and over for me every time I ask"Haven't we seen these people before?"
Aaron:Right! and do they not get a meat thermometer? How the F..., excuse me, I almost dropped the"F"ey, but it pisses me off because if they had a thermometer, there was no way they would send up raw food,
Ashley:and I think you and I talked about this, but we've both worked in kitchens and for me, you're moving so quickly, you drop something on the floor. it's like slow motion. Yeah. And everyone in the kitchen stops and it's"Thud", it makes like a sound effect. And then it's like, oh my God, the whole dinner's ruined!! If you did that in the kitchen, fire another one and let's get it going.
Aaron:Right! Lets Go! And every episode, like"on the next Hell's Kitchen" they make it look like it's getting ready to be like this big blow up and this drama. And then it's nothing
Ashley:Yeah. That's like The Bachelor. It was always like"never before seen on The Bachelor" you know, or"for the first time ever"!
Aaron:The Circle did the same thing though,
Ashley:I don't know what you're talking about with the"no drama"? I do feel like there's a little bit of drama.
Aaron:What's the drama on the circle?
Ashley:I mean, Nick's a nice guy, but I don't know...
Aaron:No, just wait til the last episode everybody's just so nice and friendly. if I feel like they're like that, when you get it, and I'm like, oh yeah.
Ashley:like, if you guys can all get at the end together, you know, you're gonna have to vote each other off. why would you want people that you want around? I don't get that, but it's strategy. the lady Michelle who, got kicked off, she was like, I'm going to go in there and tell them what I think. And then she was like, I don't even blame y'all. It's when you're behind the keyboard, like life, they talk a bunch of shit and then they get there and she was giving them tips.
Aaron:I knowww, yeah.
Ashley:Poor Michelle though. she couldn't even convince them. She was herself.
Aaron:That is bad.
Ashley:Oh, I forgot where I was. Okay. What was the first concert you ever saw?
Aaron:Wu Tang clan at the red rock amphitheater in Denver.
Ashley:I heard that place is really cool. I've always wanted to see something there.
Aaron:Yeah, it was cool. I saw the"Up in Smoke tour" was one time with time with m&m and Snoop dog
Ashley:Patrick was wearing a blue tank shirt the other day.
Aaron:He was! Raising him right. That kid's records. He has a vinylcollection that is out of this world
Ashley:I love that. He's also collecting CDs. Cause streaming. What was the last concert you went to?
Aaron:Louder than Life, yeah, mainly MGK then before that it was, Guns and Roses and Ice Cube, That was a hell of a show. that was a whole show it was at the festival. So Godsmack was there guns and roses?
Ashley:Alright, Axel looked okay?. Okay.
Aaron:he looked like the mom from Goonies. and when he first came out, he really did not sound good, but as he got warmed up, he really rocked it. and they played forever. They played like every song that. I've ever heard a ride this way. We're rolling with it.
Ashley:And was Megan Fox with MGK?
Aaron:Not when I was there. but the whole Slipknot, controversy was going on. So that was like people booing and then like he ended up punching a fan.
Ashley:What's the Slipknot controversy.
Aaron:So at a show a couple of weeks before he was here in Louisville, he said something about Slip knot beinga bunch of old dude with mask so
Ashley:they just start standing up.
Aaron:Oh, it was look it up, every show he goes to now, the hardcore metal guys are booing'em
Ashley:I have not heard that. Finish the sentence."Love is..."
Aaron:Everything? You know what is really ruining that for me though? Is watching You and love is on there, So when you said love, that's the first thing my mind went to was the character I told Jenny, I wolfed her last night, on the last season, she's like,"I wolf, you"
Ashley:Noooo that actress, I have a really hard time. Did you guys watch BLI manner? she was on that and we watched haunting of hill house and she was in that with the broke neck girl. And I thought she was pretty good in that, but I thought her character was just that way. And then I realized that might be her I'm sure she's lovely.
Aaron:She always looks like,
Ashley:like she smelled something or
Aaron:I was getting ready to say the smelliest place in the world. she's been there. It's just thinks about it,
Ashley:it's a, facial thing. It's very,
Aaron:annoying. Don't get me started on Bly manner. I had to figure it out. in the first five minutes I'm telling Jenee,"she's dead! I'm telling you that woman's dead." Mine was the kids.
Ashley:I was like, that kid is speaking way too adult. and he's always smoking. he's possessed. Okay. Nirvana or foo fighters?
Aaron:Nirvana, but, oh,
Ashley:I know it's a pickle, right?
Aaron:I want to say Nirvana because I still feel like Nirvana would have, well, if, of course there would be no foo fighters, Ugh, Nirvana.
Ashley:Dave Grohl might have busted out, If your mom busted out, Nirvana has stood the test of time, but then you also wonder, is it because,
Aaron:Yeah, Nirvana
Ashley:okay. Sticking with it, If you were to change your name, what would I call you??
Aaron:DJ Qualls.
Ashley:and you remembered it too? I was Like who? Oh yeah, that guy. Yeah. Mine of course would be Charlotte. In case you were wondering Okay. Would you rather have a mullet or be bald?
Aaron:Mullet.
Ashley:Yeah, I thought so you could rock a mullet. You would just be like, this is the thing,
Aaron:and honestly, I would fit in around here.
Ashley:You'd probably be more popular!. You're like, I'd make so many friends!
Aaron:Here about this time last year. I mean, everybody had a mullet, but yeah, mullet.
Ashley:Okay. I feel like we kinda talked about some of this but would you rather be in a zombie apocalypse or a robot apocalypse?
Aaron:Zombie. I feel like the robots would be harder to kill and they're smarter than we are, more tactical
Ashley:technology already outsmart me every day. So if they were going against me, which sometimes I feel like they are okay, and this is my last one. when you get dressed, do you go sock, sock, shoe, shoe, or sock shoe sock shoe.
Aaron:sock sock, Shoe shoe. Only a psychopath would go sock shoe, sock shoe. I asked because they ask that in a college class once and they had us split up and I was thinking the same thing, like what kind of person? And there were people So this is something you need to know about your friends. it, changed my world. I think it's very important. There are people who do sock shoe shoe. Yeah.
