Welcome to another lively episode where we navigate the unpredictable rhythms of family life, especially during unexpected snow days. Energy levels don’t always align, which makes podcasting challenging; however, it’s a struggle many families face. We share insight on how we balance our schedules while discussing the joys and challenges of homesteading. As we dive into the world of egg production, we reflect on the joy of raising our own chickens and the support from our community through endeavors like our egg stand.
Our candid discussion makes room for the reality of school finals, shedding light on the pressures young adults face today. This leads to some humorous moments, like engaging in fun segments such as our “Would You Rather?” game. Sharing laughter over the little things is a core theme of our podcast, where we lightheartedly browse through awkward moments in school.
Looking ahead, we talk about our future plans for the summer—embarking on canning projects that involve growing our own cucumbers and tomatoes, bringing another layer to our ambition of self-sustainability. Join us every week as we blend humor, heartwarming stories, and life lessons into an engaging listening experience that captures the challenges of everyday life.

Speaker 2Guess who's back Guess who's back, guess, who's back, guess, who's back, guess, who's back, guess, who's back? Hey, wow, we finally are back, made it back in the studio. I almost felt like Joe Rogan, because you mostly had things set up for me. I told you before we started recording, like if I came home from work and you're like Mom, podcast ready, let's go and I just had to like, show up on the mic. We would be way better at being more consistent with our episodes. Just the thought Crickets. We would be way better at being more consistent with our episodes. Just the thought Crickets. Yeah, crickets, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp. Usually you're good at chirping, no, sometimes, no, okay, so what I have, when do you think is the last time we recorded?
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2So long my computer needs an upgrade, so long I didn't remember where to plug in my headphones.
Speaker 1What do you mean? You got it right away.
Speaker 2No, remember I was trying to plug it into the computer. And then so long I was like, why can't I hear myself? Because I didn't have the settings set right.
Speaker 1Oh mama.
Speaker 2But here we are. And what else I've noticed since we recorded last is we might live in the same house but we have such different schedules when it comes to you know, we just things don't align with your school schedule, my work schedule, the energy schedule is we are never on the same energy yeah, I know, I am a morning person.
Speaker 2You are a night person, and when I have my energy you do not. And then when you get your energy, I'm like ready to take a break, and then it's dinner time, and then it's busy time, and then everyone's doing their own thing and then it's time to get ready for the next day. And then yeah, and then we're like okay, tomorrow we're going to do a podcast.
Speaker 1Then we don't.
Speaker 2And then we're like tomorrow we're going to do a podcast, and then we don't. And I'm like McCoy, we have to do a podcast, but today and then we don't. We didn't because we both had a unexpected snow day. So a unexpected snow day so.
Speaker 1I didn't have to work. That's how you get to work too.
Speaker 2No, I got low-needed today because Wendy's what's low-needed it means like Wendy's on vacation.
Speaker 1Oh, so you're not about to go? Yeah, they had like enough staff.
Speaker 2They didn't need me to fill in anywhere and I'm A-OK with that. I think it's really nice for my mental.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'll take my free mental, although I kind of wasn't because I was ready to do all my finals and lock the fuck in yeah but, well, you told me last night.
Speaker 2So school got canceled today because we got like six inches of snow and the wind was so severe it wasn't bad when I went out there.
Speaker 2It wasn't, no, it was bad even I was just out there and it was bad again. It's supposed to be bad till like five anyway, so school got canceled for that, and so then I was like all right, mackie, here's the deal. When you get up, we have to figure out what we're doing a podcast today. There's no excuse, we have time and we should both have energy, because we both got to sleep in and do our thing, and I tried to take a nap and my body didn't want one, so bing.
Speaker 1Here we are. If you would have took a nap, you would not want to do one.
Speaker 2Probably, because then I wake up and I'm like, uh, no, I just don't feel like doing anything, uh-huh, ooh. Okay, so there's this podcast that you might have heard of and it's called new heights and it's the kelsey brothers, jason and travis, and you might know that travis is dating taylor swift I didn't know that, but okay you do live under a rock I don't know much about whatever you're going on, do you? Know who taylor swift is yes okay, who is she?
Speaker 1she's like a singer okay.
Speaker 2Do you know who travis kelsey is?
Speaker 1I don't know what he does, but I've heard him before. Yeah okay, he plays for the kansas city chiefs and oh yeah, oh yeah, okay, now okay, yeah, okay okay.
Speaker 2So anyway, he does a podcast and it's called new heights and I've been listening to it a little bit because I like taylor and I just want to hear him talk about taylor, so anyway, but they do this little bit and it's called new news. And then you say new news. Okay, do it, we're going to do it right now. All right, are you ready for new news? New news, all right. So the four hen homestead is up and running. So that has been really great and successful and the outpouring of love and support from our community has just been so heartwarming to me. I cannot keep enough eggs in that little egg stand. And, yeah, people have just been so kind to me.
Speaker 2And today we added salted caramel butter. Bars for sale A buck a bar, because they're good, but I can't eat all those. So I thought, oh, I'll just put them in the egg stand. Are they in there right now? What? Bars for sale a buck a bar? Because they're good, but I can't eat all those. So I thought, oh, I'll just put them in the egg stand. Are they in there right now? What are they in there right now? Yeah, I mean, unless they all sold out, did you buy one? Did?
Speaker 2you tell your friends they're good, um, so, yeah, so I'm very excited about my egg stand. I I am just loving my little homestead world I've been living in and building. I love my chickens, I love bunnies, but my chickens love me more than my bunny loves me. Yeah, like I was just outside checking on them and you know whatever, looking for eggs. It's always like an Easter egg hunt every day Because sometimes they lay in weird spots and I'm like, oh hey, there's an egg Weird.
Speaker 2But little Buffy, she just came and like sat on my lap and snuggled in and I was petting her and she was purring and her eyes were closed and I'd stop petting her and then she would look at me like why did you stop petting me? She was just all comfy and I never thought chickens would have such big personalities and they're all different. It's really. It's just really, really it's sweet and I've never had a pet that gives back like my. My pets lay eggs that you can eat and they're good like. I never want to eat store-bought eggs again is that they don't even taste any different they taste way more like rich.
Speaker 2No, you don't think so last time I made you their eggs, you said these are really good yeah, I'm like they're really good, okay. Well, your, your opinion doesn't count because you're only 16. How does it not count because you don't know enough about you. Know what we should do. We should buy store-bought eggs?
Speaker 1yeah, you should, and then we can do.
Speaker 2I'm gonna say you take, taste these eggs and then you taste these eggs and then you tell me which ones are better, and then no you should have like you should blindfold me. Yeah.
Speaker 1And you should put a label on one that says chicken egg and the one that says store egg on the plate, and you give me one and I taste it and I taste the other one. Okay, and then I have to pick. You take the label off and I pick which one I think is better.
Speaker 2Okay, before I take without you knowing, yeah, like I take the label off after yeah, I get it yeah yeah, yeah, we should do it.
Speaker 1Yeah, we should do that.
Speaker 2Do you have anything to talk about?
Speaker 1Absolutely not. I don't ever know what to talk about, man.
Speaker 2There's nothing like interesting going on. Well, I can tell you some things that you could talk about. You could talk about how your friends called me an old hag. No one calls you an old hag, that's what you said.
Speaker 1As a joke.
Speaker 2Well, my feelings are still hurt.
Speaker 1How would they hurt? No one called you that.
Speaker 2You told me that they did. No I said no, and then a few days later, when I told you that I was sad, you said I was just framing. Nobody said that I was just setting them up and I'm like do you know how butthurt I've been about that? It was that bad yeah, because I just envisioned myself looking like an old hag and then I was like oh, that's so not cute, what the heck. All All right. So anyway, since you don't have anything to talk about, I'll continue to talk about my boring life.
Speaker 1Your boring life.
Speaker 2So my next endeavor is I want to grow some cucumbers and tomatoes, because I really want to start canning and in my mind canning you know like pickles, oh, okay. Salsa. So, anyway, that's what I'm going to start with, maybe spaghetti sauce. You should make some pickles Pickles for sure pickles.
Speaker 1Oh, okay, yeah salsa, um.
Speaker 2So anyway, that's what I'm gonna start with spaghetti, maybe spaghetti sauce you should make some pickles, pickles for sure, so I'm gonna start with pickles.
Speaker 2And you know, my brain wants to go to like, oh, I want to make pickles, I want to make salsa, I want to make marinara sauce, I want to make jellies, I want to make. You know, my brain just is like all these things and I'm like all right kelly slow, I'm like all right, kelly, slow down. Let's start with cucumbers and tomatoes, and what can we can with that, and how well does it go? So that's what I'm going to do this summer. I'm going to grow some vegetables for canning.
Speaker 1Okay All right, I want you to make me some good pickles, spicy ones, you want spicy ones. I like those radish ones, spicy and sweet, and I want to make enough for my little farm stand. Okay, so I can give to the community Okay.
Speaker 2How long does one jar last you?
Speaker 1A long time.
Speaker 2Depends. If they're good, they don't last that long. So I've wanted to can for a long time, but I've always really been super intimidated by the canning process. But, um, I'm definitely in my homestead era, so I'm going to be working on that so if you yeah a lot of people are in their sourdough era right now, and that's not me.
Speaker 2I hate making bread because it's so tedious it's tedious because it's so many steps and waiting, so it's like you have to do this and you have to let it, and you have to let it rot, you have to let it do whatever process and then, after so long, then you do the next step and then you let it do that for how long? And I don't, I don't that's not my thing Like I lose, you know, I kind of have ADD, like you, and so I lose my focus and I lose my desire to complete that task because it takes there's too many long process steps. Am I boring you?
Speaker 1No, I'm talking about sourdough. I just feel like getting a stretch in.
Speaker 2And I feel like enough people are making sourdough that I don't have to, so you guys keep making your sourdough.
Speaker 1I know you two people give a sourdough.
Speaker 2And I will keep making salted caramel, butter bars and stuff. Okay, mackie, I wrote down some things that I want you to talk about, because I knew you would come to the table with nothing.
Speaker 1That's good.

Speaker 2So you just looked at your final grade. Yeah, if I'm at the passing grade it.
Speaker 1But if my grade is fucking like cooked, I'm gonna look and be like oh shit, I gotta get shit done now, now I gotta work, okay, yep, so math and science.
Speaker 2Okay, how do you feel like? How are you feeling about those?
Speaker 1I'm more scared for my um, my science, because I literally just turned in so much work in my math and it should go up. And my science. I'm like at a, c, what happened? Dude, I don't know you're great you had like all a's and b's honor roll student.
Speaker 2What happened?
Speaker 1I did okay on one test and my grade went down like five and I went down from b minus to c. Bro, like okay.
Speaker 2well, you know what happens, okay, so we're gonna just talk about your grades really quick. I know you know what happens, okay, so we're going to just talk about your grades really quick. I know you know what happens, but I'm going to remind you, if you end the trimester with anything less than a C, including a C minus A.
Speaker 1C minus is bad. I thought we said a C minus. No, the worst I could have.
Speaker 2No C or better, or you are grounded from your Xbox for the entire try until you get your grades up again.
Speaker 1How do I get my grades up again?
Speaker 2For the next try. You're grounded for the whole try. And at the end of the try. If your grades are all a, c or better, then you're ungrounded from your Xbox. That's fucking crazy. Yeah Well, you know what your job is school. So if you can't do your job, c minus is like it's not. It's less than satisfactory.
Speaker 1What is satisfactory, good enough. I don't know what good enough is.
Speaker 2A C.
Speaker 1A, c is satisfactory.
Speaker 2Yes, Less than a C.
Speaker 1So a C minus a C.
Speaker 2Either is a D, but that's unacceptable, okay okay, yeah, d is bad yeah, but like I mean, I'm just kidding whoa mom oh, it couldn't help it, it's just a joke. When you haven't had the d in a long time, you want it okay, so anyway, just kidding. Okay, um, so anyway, yes, a c minus is less than satisfactory it's a little bit less.
Speaker 1It's, yep, I don't, just a little bit less than satisfactory.
Speaker 2Yep, I don't do a little bit less. I feel like asking for Cs is not asking for much. It's kind of hard, though, and also you'll be getting yourself a job if you can't get decent grades just going to school.
Speaker 1I already am going to get a job though when?
Speaker 2What happened to your subway job?
Speaker 1Never got shit back from that. I didn't get anything back. I can't help that. Okay, whatever, all right.
Speaker 2Okay, spring break next week. Yep, if you're not grounded, what are your plans?
Speaker 1If I'm not grounded, what are my plans?
Speaker 2And if you are grounded, what are your plans?
Speaker 1I mean, if you're not grounded.
Speaker 2I know what your plans are. If you're grounded, what are your plans? What are you gonna do without xbox in your life? I don't know. Do you have any plans for spring break? Literally no. I thought maybe we could go to top gulf one day. I got a gift card. Yeah, we have a lot of gift cards. We should just do a gift card every day on spring break.
Speaker 2Yeah, we do a lot of gift cards like a lot of them a lot of them okay, so zero plans for a spring break, all right, great, tell me about your driving what do you mean driving?

Speaker 2It feels like I want to do it, but then you don't do it.
Speaker 1Yes, bro, like I don't, I'm not. I'm like I don't have the motivation to ask to do it.
Speaker 2So do you just want me to like open the door for you? And be like, okay, the car is ready. No, okay. So it's not like the podcast.
Speaker 1Because if you said, mom, the podcast is ready to record, I'd be like let go, but I've never said that Showtime you never have.

Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2So tell me about that. Tell us about that. How did you find the movie? What was it called? What was it about? I've never seen you that, like I've never seen you actively find a movie to watch and watch the entire thing by yourself. What that's not like you, it's not like you to like turn on the TV and find a movie and be zoned into it. I never see you do that.
Speaker 1I got a good movie because I knew I could just do my homework too. I know I wouldn't be able to just focus on one thing.
Speaker 2You need multiple things going on.
Speaker 1Mainly just the background, because I can't just do one thing at once.
Speaker 2Well, you weren't backgrounding it, you were intently watching it.
Speaker 1I know, but like.
Speaker 2That wasn't the plan.
Speaker 1No, it was.
Speaker 2Okay. So how did you find this movie? Did you know about it?

Speaker 1No spoilers, okay, like yeah, it's just about a 13 year old boy that gets kidnapped in a basement and he escapes.
Speaker 2Okay, Because he's talking to like ghosts of kids that were already. They're dead yeah, I see dead people. Okay, okay, all right, that's all I had on my thing to ask you about Was that loud as shit.

Speaker 2Eggs, all right, owl tree. Hey Siri, hang on, it doesn't really work like that. Tell me the definition of owl tree. Well, it doesn't even come up as anything.
Speaker 2Let's see, let's see. I'm going to try it one more time. That's because it didn't even hear me say owl tree, Go. An owl tree is where an owl. Oh my God, an owl tree is a tree where an owl lives or a tree that someone associates with owls. The owl tree. Granny Diamond tells Joe about an owl tree that grows in her neighbor's lawn. She describes seeing an owl perched in the tree and it cheered her up. What does it mean?
Speaker 1Well, it doesn't even I mean, it probably does mean that but, when you say it, what are you referencing? Don't worry about it.
Speaker 2No, I'm worried about it because you say it all the time. It means owl tree.
Speaker 1Owl tree.
Speaker 2Certified turtle.
Speaker 1Why are you saying that?
Speaker 2again, because I never did. While going for a goal, quickly flip on top of your car and hit the ball into the goal wall upside down. This is on TikTok, and there is also a song. Oh, here it comes. I don't know if you can hear this.
Speaker 1What's your name, dude? Certified turtle, are you out of your fucking mind? Get him out of here, man.
Speaker 2Is this what it is?
Speaker 1Ninja turtle looking motherfucker. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2What's this guy? What's your name, dude? Oh, that's it.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's so retarded.
Speaker 2His name is Okay, McCoy this is so stupid.
Speaker 2Okay. So anyway, I'm going to tell you something terrible that happened to me. I came home on Friday night, it was really windy and I was in my backyard and it was dark and all of a sudden I could tell that my snow globe was not there anymore and I couldn't find it anywhere. And the next morning I went outside and I found it down on 10th Avenue, in the road. It was in the road, yes, and it's ruined, and I'm mad. It's ruined, it's ruined road, yes, and it's ruined and I'm mad it's ruined.
Speaker 1It's ruined how.
Speaker 2Because people probably ran it over. It blew down the road and got all scuffed up and now it's just laying on the side of the house, all broke. So I'm really pissed that I paid a lot of money for it.
Speaker 1How much did you pay for it?
Speaker 2I don't know Like $170. And now it's up and I used it like three times so don't ask me about my snow globe, because I'm mad, okay well, we can patch it up.
Speaker 1Okay, we'll see. Well, I don't even know, it depends how fucked it is.
Speaker 2Yeah do you know how to sew? Maybe we could sew the panels back together. I haven't even put it up, I'm just the panel makes me want to cry.
Speaker 1I don't know, I don't. I didn't put it back together, so I don't even know you're right, it might be okay, but I'm still pissed.
Speaker 2All right um, I think I have one more. Oh, I have a few more things. I thought I was done yeah so something new that I did.
Speaker 2I'm still not drinking alcohol that's good I did have a dream last night that I ran into gwen stefani and she bought me a drink and so I drank it. Okay, which is weird that I dream about stuff like that. I do. I have had dreams where some people have, like, given me something to drink and then I took a drink of it and it was alcohol and I was upset that, like I was, didn't want to drink alcohol and then it ruined it for me.
Speaker 2Uh, so anyway, omni brewing in Maple Grove. They have coffee flights. It's a brewery where they serve alcohol but they also serve coffee. So I went there on Saturday, had this coffee flight, and every single one of them was good. I'm trying to remember. There was like a lavender matcha, there was like a salted caramel mocha, there was one called like a cherry bomb and it was like chocolate cherry. It was good. And then there was another one was one called like a cherry bomb and it was like chocolate cherry. It was good. And then there was another one that was just like a vanilla mocha or something like that, but they were all good and they had some other ones there too.
Speaker 2Um, so check it out, but it was busy as shit up in that joint, but I would 10 out of 10 recommend all right. So you may have seen on my snapchat story that I was hatching some eggs so that I could have my own little baby chicks. I wanted to hatch baby chicks and none of my eggs hatched, and so I was really sad and scared because I didn't know why they didn't hatch and what happened. And then it was like do you crack them open and see what's in there? And I was really scared to do that, so I went on a deep, dark dive on YouTube and.
Speaker 2I YouTubed dissecting hatching eggs that didn't hatch and I was scared because some of them looked like dead baby chickens and some of them look like nothing. And so I had 18 eggs and I opened all of them and none of them were fertilized, meaning they never developed into anything.
Speaker 1Yeah, so I just had them in there for no reason.
Speaker 2Yeah. So I was relieved Like I don't, I didn't, it wasn't my fault, I didn't do anything, like there's no way those eggs could have ever hatched. But now I got some new eggs and I'm trying to hatch them and I think I'm on day 11 right now. So that means all right, count down 11 more days until hatch time. So I'm really hoping that these little babies hatch. But this time I put like a chromometer, hydrometer, in there and so I can see the temp and the humidity levels at all times. So hopefully that works. And I told the lady who I got these from shout out, I think it's called Kisslinger Homestead in Now. Then She's's like these are definitely fertilized, so they will hatch. So anyway, I'm excited to see if I hatch some babies in 11 days.
Speaker 2Anyway, last night I made my chicken bacon alfredo and that is my favorite dinner that I make, like usually when I make dinner, like it's mediocre to me.
Speaker 1to me, I like the crumbly bacon.
Speaker 2Because I just feel like I made it. So it's like you know, when somebody else cooks, it's always better.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, it's always better.
Speaker 2Not this, this Alfredo sauce that I make from scratch. It is so good. I was so full last night because I just wanted to keep going.
Speaker 1And that's not me, I get full fast. Yeah, when they were just afraid of us, I'm like I'm gonna.
Speaker 2You're like I'll take your plate. I'm like, oh, I'm eating all of this sauce like I'm spooning it up. Oh, my god. Um, I'm excited, for I've been having really bad headaches, and what I do at night, I know why I get them it's because I clench my jaw tight and I'll catch myself doing it even when I'm awake I'll be like open. Open your jaw.
Speaker 1Like I don't know why I do that but, I, do so.
Speaker 2Anyway. I ordered myself a mouth guard and it came today, and now I'm going to mold it to my mouth and I'm going to be an old hag. An old, what An old hag. And I'm going to put it in tonight. How does that make you old? In my old hag jammies with my old hag mouth guard, my old hag bun. But you're not old and I'm going to go to bed at 8.30 like an old hag.
Speaker 1Are you actually going to go to bed at 8.30?
Speaker 2There's something gross on my foot. What is it? It feels like Pick it up. I can't see. I need a light Hang on.
Speaker 1It's literally just your skin.
Speaker 2No, there's like a lump there.
Speaker 1Oh God, here I am. It's probably cancer.
Speaker 2And I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1Mackie, Did you know my daddy got cancer cut out of his neck.
Speaker 2He did. Yeah, what the fuck, no yeah you got cancer.
Speaker 1What kind of cancer did he have?
Speaker 2I don't remember I had my neck cut open. Remember they thought. I had cancer, but I didn't.
Speaker 1Yeah, did he have lymphoma? I don't know what it's called. I ask him when I go over there.
Speaker 2Yeah, is he going to be okay?
Speaker 1Yeah, he's fine yeah.
Speaker 2Did he have to do like chemotherapy?
Speaker 1No, it was like he just started growing there and he was like no, he went to like you know, like the skin thing where they get a skin sample, and they said that he had like cancer, like growing somewhere, so they cut it out before it could do anything.
Speaker 2Okay, so was it pre-cancer. Now I'm scared.
Speaker 1Yeah, something like that. He's fine though.
Speaker 2Okay, he didn't have to do any treatment.
Speaker 1No, Other than just he said. The last time I was over there he said I let the Do you have to? Have that where they took it out, just heal up.
Speaker 2Is he okay now? Yeah, Okay. Well, that's really scary man. I didn't know that. How long have you known that for?
Speaker 1Like since last time I went over there.
Speaker 2Oh, that's not very long. When did he have surgery?
Speaker 1I don't know, like when I was like the the week before I went there, like I'm guessing, recently. No, like I don't know, I just went, like you know, when I last time went over there yeah, not the weekend, I was with you before that okay, so like christmas time. I don't know, I can't tell you, I don't know.
Speaker 2Okay, but he's okay, yeah okay, um, all, right, now I feel really dumb, but I'm gonna go on, so I'm gonna do my mouth guard I got guard. I got my flat back earrings today, so that way when, I lay down they don't hurt me. I've really been struggling to find a good pair of earrings that don't hurt me. All right, something I learned, something new that I learned.
Speaker 2I learned something new. Do you have something that you learned? No, you're supposed to have. This is a segment that we do every time. No, you got nothing. No, all right. Last night, when I was helping you with your homework, I learned something about financial aid. I learned what the cost of attendance is, because I did not know what that meant.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And it means the total cost of attending school for one year. Total cost of attending school for one year. So it means like everything Tuition, any extra fees, any housing or rent costs, food costs, books, supplies, transportation, everything and I never remember hearing that term when I was doing financial aid or going to college. However, my parents also One more. That's weird. I just got a weird message. My parents didn't help me do anything for financial aid. So this is all new to me and I'm happy that we're doing it when you're only in 10th grade and, like I said last night, we really need you to get into that STEP program. I really want you to go talk to your counselor so we can figure that out.
Speaker 1So are you going to go do that this week please? I don't even know how to get a count of the thing.
Speaker 2You ignore the offices. You just go there and say, hey, I need to talk to my counselor about doing the step program next year.
Speaker 1Okay, you got to be a big boy, I'm not a big boy.
Speaker 2Put your big boy undies on and we need to figure that out. So that is on you. You need to do that tomorrow. What's that?
Speaker 1It's a snow globe.
Speaker 2Oh, okay, Alright hang on.
Speaker 1Can I do it on Friday, because I have all my freaking tests and finals.

Speaker 1It's not about buttholes.
Speaker 2So there's that, Okay, would you rather? Are you ready? Oh?
Speaker 1I didn't hear it. You're really quiet, ready. So what did you rather do? I just said it. Oh, I didn't hear it, you're really quiet.
Speaker 2Ready. So what would you rather do? I mean, I know your, would you rather, so I can answer it, but everyone else might want to know it.
Speaker 1Would you rather have a pointy nose or would you rather have pointy ears?
Speaker 2I think I'd choose ears, because I can cover my ears with my hair or a hat.
Speaker 1Probably pointy ears as well, yeah.
Speaker 2Unless I could get a nose job. Otherwise I feel like the nose is just the center of your face. Everyone sees it.
Speaker 1Yeah, you look like Gru who Gru you know from. Oh, despicable Me.
Speaker 2And I feel like pointy ears. You could tell little kids like I'm one of Santa's elves, okay.
Speaker 1No, no, that's cute, I guess you could say that you could say that it's fun. Like yeah, I can't. I used to be an elf, yeah.
Speaker 2Retired.
Speaker 1I'm an old hag now Okay mom, why are you even saying that?
Speaker 2Do you feel bad yet? Yeah, yeah, can you stop? It was a joke and no one called you it. You told me they did, so I didn't know, but no one did. No I know it was you and I told you like a week ago that no one did and you're still on it.
Speaker 1Yeah, I am Bro. I have feelings. It's that deep.
Speaker 2I have feelings it's that deep. Yes, do you know what your love language is?
Speaker 1What is that?
Speaker 2You don't know what love languages are. No, I do my love language is words of affirmation, which means, if you tell me good things about myself, that is my love, that makes me feel loved and happy and great.
Speaker 1So when you say oh mom, you're beautiful.
Speaker 2Oh mom, you look nice today. Oh mom, your makeup is nice. Oh, I really like that outfit. Oh mom, this is really good dinner that you made. Oh mom, yeah, all these great things that's my love language.
Speaker 2Okay, so the options for love languages are words of affirmation, acts of service, doing things for other people. There's like a gift giving one. I don't know all of them, let me. I'm gonna look this up though now, because now we're in it, bro. What are the love languages? What are the love languages? All right, five love languages. I don't want to read the book.
Speaker 1Just tell me what they are, okay.
Speaker 2Words of affirmation, physical touch, so like if people touching you makes you feel nice.
Speaker 1That's kind of weird.
Speaker 2Quality time, spending time with people, acts of service, showing love by doing things for someone that makes their life easier, or receiving gifts feeling loved when someone gives you a thoughtful gift.
Speaker 1I'll take the gift. I'm taking the gift.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, I'm taking the gift.
Speaker 2So receiving gifts is your love language. So when people give you things that makes you feel loved, okay I figured that would be so anyway, what do you mean? Words of affirmation, not words of negativity, old negative hag negative but like what?
Speaker 1if it's like the truth, then the truth could be like. Okay, that's fine, but sometimes Is it that yours does hurt?
Speaker 2So is it true that I'm an old hag? Then don't say anything. Then keep your mouth shut. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, unless I say McCoy, I want you to tell me the truth. I'm ready to hear it. You zip it. You zip your fucking lips.
