Speaker 1:Adam.
Speaker 2:We got to come up with a different thing to call him.
Speaker 3:I like my smaller seed.

Speaker 2:We'll call him my boy from now on my boy, get out of town. What's up?
Speaker 3:Nothing much I put on my two-week notice.
Speaker 2:All that was on the first right.
Speaker 3:How did that go better than what I thought. So there's that they are pretty sad to leave me, or for me to leave them. Sorry, yeah they're. They're pretty, pretty upset. I'm just too good at my job. I don't know, though, I've been batting a thousand the past couple days. I was like that's crazy. I just keep mistake after mistake. I'm like, guys, I'm sorry You're overworking me Making silly little mistakes. Forgot to give a lady her bag today. She'll realize it when she gets home and come back. Yeah, so, but I put in my two week that I called my bestie there and I was like, hey, before I put on my two weeks, I said I didn't want you to hear from nobody else, but this is happening. She cried. We're going to go have breakfast on Tuesday, me and the other ladies there. Yeah, I was invited. It's going to be a farewell thing. So I'm pretty sad to leave her, but they got me working eight hour shifts all weekend.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 3:I'm surprised they let you work it out, to be honest oh no you weren't there very long when I tell you I'm really good at my job. I'm really good at my job. Well, it's not a hard job, like let me put that out there, I'm like doing the job.
Speaker 3:So I think that's better than I feel like that's like 50 of the work it's just doing it um, yeah, no, it's, they're trying to have me train another girl on register, because I I don't know if I talked about on here, but I got our enrollment up um by 13 well, actually higher than that. So my first couple weeks there I got it from like 7 to thirteen percent and then, after not even a month of me working, I got it from the thirteen percent up to like a twenty four percent.
Speaker 3:Wow damn buddy yeah and and she was like well, I need you to train people, like you're the best person I've had on this. And I was like girl, I'm just asking people if they're a member. Like there's nothing. I'm like it's easy give me your name, phone number, email 30 seconds, like I'm a quick typer. But yeah, and she was like well, I guess people just aren't asking. And I was like you, you told me that was a big thing. I did it like that's it. I got a whole gift.
Speaker 3:They gave me a voucher yeah, because I got them up, so it's the highest that it's ever been.
Speaker 2:Wow, that's crazy, yeah, so they're real sad to lose me um, we're passing some we got positions open buddy that's okay, you and I could take the store over buddy, I'd be fired day one I need you to understand this no, you and I walk in.
Speaker 3:We get rid of everybody and you walk in and say we're here to fuck shit up, yeah, and then and then we get dylan here, then it's just a family fast and all I mean no, I love that I'm surprised I haven't been fired because I've made it very clear that I had another customer yell at me and, like I'm not doing that, you can go somewhere else like I don't care that's how right like I don't get paid enough for you to care, like I'm like, go, go away. What do you mean? I did have a lady shoulder check me yesterday, so there was that, yeah oh, I would listen we?
Speaker 3:we haven't. I'm sorry. I know you said keep this relatively short, we haven't chatted in a while. Had a woman I was breaking down boxes. Had a woman I our store is down boxes. Had a woman Our store is small. Okay, we had this huge candle sale. You probably don't know what Candle Day is, lindsay might, but it's like this huge thing that Bath Bodywear sells, where all of our candles are dirt cheap. So they did a pop-up sale this weekend which was like a preview of the Candle Day sale. But everyone has a 25% off coupon, so that makes these three wick candles that are normally 40 eight bucks dang everyone was there.
Speaker 3:My like it's been insane. Everyone and their mother was there. So we had to keep reloading these candles. So we were out on the pods. I've done so much lifting. I woke up this morning I thought I got hit by a bus. Like I couldn't move. It was insane. But I was breaking it on box yesterday and I was kind of like in the corner trying to stay, you know, away from people but I had like my full, like arms out breaking down a box. I had a box cutter in my hand. She doesn't even say excuse me, walks by me, goes. I said wow, you could have said excuse me, bud. That's crazy, like how to move.
Speaker 2:She didn't even apologize did she work there or was she a customer?
Speaker 3:that's crazy that's insane, that I'm holding a knife that's crazy, oh after that I went. I went in the that's great, you should protect me. After that I went in the bathroom and cried.
Speaker 1:I was like I can't do it.
Speaker 3:Because we have to be nice, like that's the thing I'm like she just told her to protect me. What am I supposed to do? I'm not being nice anymore, anyways, yeah, what am I?
Speaker 2:doing. I hear you, buddy. I have a customer that I have been working with for six years Six years of work of building this account up going through. I've been through three different safety managers over there. Every one of them liked a different supplier. So the first lady was like I only use MSC. Then the next guy was like I love fast and all.
Speaker 2:And then this new guy came in and he was like I don't care who it is, as long as my shit's here yeah now six years of working with this customer and their corporate office stepped in out of the blue and was just like we're going granger nationwide I.
Speaker 3:I heard you tell a mom about that.
Speaker 2:Oh, I couldn't 16 years all that work of building up like a rapport and everything that's awful yeah, got them from a thousand dollars a month to fifteen thousand dollars a month, wow, and just gone in the blink of an eye. And I, it's not my fault- no, there's nothing you can do.
Speaker 3:There's nothing you can do. At that point I found out that because our manager is always pushing for us to be green on the month that's what she calls it being green on the month and I just thought it was for us to get higher ranking or whatever, like oh, good job, here's some pizza. You know what I mean? She gets a $2,500 bonus.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's called a commission. She sits in the back, yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm the one doing that. I found that out the other day and I was like, wow, I could scream Welcome to the world of business.
Speaker 2:People in charge do half the work and collect all of the money you want to hear something even more crazy?
Speaker 3:sorry, I'll be done in a second. Anyways, we ran out of change. She didn't order change that happens, you gotta go to the bank no, we can't do that why we had to close the riches because we have to order it from a like from the company. Like it's being, it gets sent in a truck oh, we used to at sherwin williams.
Speaker 3:Just go down to the bank well, that's what other places like pizza hut does. That too, yeah, nope, we have to order it from a truck. So friday I ran out of change. Well, I started my drawer out with no like, no fives, no tens. I said, wow, that's crazy. What am I supposed to do? So I'm giving everyone. I had to give a lady or no, I had fives. I had to give a lady 40 back and change, because everyone has hundred dollar bills and fives that reminds me of a fun story.
Speaker 2:So we all know on this show how bad I am at math, yeah, and so when I worked at sherwin-williams, when we would do stuff, yeah you would type in the product right and it pops up on the computer how much it costs yeah you would type in what they gave you and then it would tell you what you owed them. Right made it very easy, very clear one day the computer broke and then for seven days straight I had to calculate people's money were seven days of my life we.
Speaker 3:We have an issue with ours that like if you're not a reward member and I can do basic math like that needs to be said like I can do but and we have a calculator, like it's not hard, but if you're not a rewards member and you're paying in cash, at the end it'll pop up like you said, like with how much you owe them or whatever. But if you're not a remorse member, it pops up with a reward screen on to sign them up and the change goes away completely. And that happened my first like week there. I had to call them up, the manager up three different times because it happened. I'm like why does this keep happening? Like why this is a flaw in the system. This't happen because I don't remember their total, like that's not something I'm thinking about. So you'd have to like close the cash drawer, print out the receipt, look at what you owe them.
Speaker 3:The manager would have to log in, open the cash drawer and then you have to sign a bunch of paperwork that it happened dude and I like, and I would tell people I'm like I can do, like it makes me feel silly, so I'm like I can do the basic math. You know, I was like I can't remember, like I don't know what your total was.
Speaker 2:I have no idea yeah, dude, that was so. We got a call every day that that computer was down, that somebody, because at the end of the night I would take the money to the bank that was what we had to do yeah in the middle of the night that's terrifying, I Did.
Speaker 2:I ever tell you about that. I would have to drive my car every night at the end of the day to the bank downtown, yeah, and drop off the money in a baggie, and I'd have to pull this thing down and put it in there. Yeah, that's terrifying. Anyways, the next day we would get a phone call from corporate saying, hey, your money was off seven days in a row.
Speaker 1:And you had to be like, yeah, you got me doing math.
Speaker 3:We can't go. Yeah, no, it was, I was telling the manager. I said hey, because we had to open up all the drawers. So normally there's four registers, but now we have like a makeshift fifth one in the middle because we have so many people in there. But she was counting the drawers, she said, wow, these two end computers which we never use for checking people out, it's only used for like online things. She's like wow, there's no change in here yeah what am I supposed to do?
Speaker 3:like we have no change? I said everyone the past three days has been paying in cash. She said no one ever has cash anymore. I wonder why. And I said it's almost like every four years people think the world's going to end and they get all of their money out of the bank Every four years. Who would have thought I was like not to be that person, but it happens every four years. It happens every four years. People just give me money in the bank, just keep it there, it's fine. I was like yeah, I said so. Everyone's using their cash because they think that the banks are going to be gone tomorrow. And she was like huh, I didn't think about that. I was like okay.
Speaker 1:We also had two computers crash today that was rough.
Speaker 2:You want to say anything?
Speaker 1:What do you want me to say?
Speaker 2:I'm just watching you dozing off over there.
Speaker 1:I'm not dozing off, I'm still rocking the chair.
Speaker 2:Do you have any update that you want to give?
Speaker 1:I've almost finished the entire series of Bluey, essentially by myself, because my child sleeps.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she loves this show.
Speaker 1:I get it.
Speaker 3:I'm excited to watch it. It's probably going to make me cry. It will.
Speaker 1:Yep. First, like three episodes I watched, Balled my eyes out Yep.
Speaker 3:I had. Speaking of crying in dogs, I I had. Hopefully this doesn't make you guys sad I hope not, but we had a customer come in and she had a dog named ruby oh and it was really sweet and she was the same color. That ruby was definitely a different. Dog like this was a whole lot like full-on poodle that she had.
Speaker 3:But she went, oh, her name's ruby, and I was like, oh, that's really nice, I was gonna take a picture, but our district manager was there, so I was like not allowed on my phone anyways so dumb so dumb um, I I got a fun thing.
Speaker 2:I I can talk to you about it after. There's not a big deal, never mind, um so or you could talk about it now well, it was like inside baseball stuff, but um, there's this it's, it's just a turn of phrase, um, there's this, uh podcast turn of phrase yeah huh. Why do you guys do this every time I'm on the show?
Speaker 1:because you act like a different person I've never heard. You're not, you know. I just complained about how terrible you are at math yeah, I'm academically dumb, but I just I've never heard that.
Speaker 2:I've never heard either one of those like last time we did a show tay Taylor. I used the phrase topical and it was a 10-minute discussion. No, listen, listen it's not.
Speaker 3:I'm sure your thing was right, I just have never heard it. In that sense, I learned something new. I'm excited to learn my brain's a sponge.
Speaker 2:You know, turn a phrase Like you turn a phrase.
Speaker 3:Oh how the turntables.
Speaker 2:It's a anyways, go ahead anyways this podcast is looking for educators to talk to, and I don't know if you'd be interested in being a guest you could promote our show at the end of course you have an ulterior motive well, that's the connection, that's how you would be going on as a Hook and Mews person, but I don't know if you'd be interested.
Speaker 2:Well, that's the connection. You would be going on as a hook and loop content person, but I didn't know if you'd be interested. We'll see. It was our wedding anniversary recently. It was the big number three.
Speaker 1:You had to check.
Speaker 2:And that gift in your gift giving guide is supposed to be leather.

Yeah, well, when you are, when you get married, there's a list of gifts and so far we've followed them every year, and this year was leather and Lindsay got me a new wallet and it is. I don't know if it's going to show up on here, Probably not.

Love your wife, your player to your dingbat. Lindsey is engraved on the inside in the leather I love that this is engraved in there it is um, and then I got her this letter um I saw you saw it okay, uh, so this is the sheet music for the song. More than words by extreme yeah engraved on leather and put it in right now huh I'll cry right now.

Speaker 3:It's really cool.
Speaker 2:It's a really nice gift.
Speaker 3:Both of your gifts are so sweet. I love things engraved, like something about having an engraving that like melts my heart.
Speaker 2:So I was on Amazon. That's how I found this I was on. Amazon and I was like this is perfect. So I ordered it and it came in this very, very nice packaging. It was hand-wrapped, hand-wound, with a very nice red string, and it had this little what do you call it? A garnish.
Speaker 1:I mean, that's like food terms, like a white ball Like a decoration on the front of it. It's like a fridge magnet that they made. But at the time I just thought it was like a little thing on the packaging, I was like this is really nice, um.
Speaker 2:So then I opened it up and inside was this letter, so I wanted to read it. Am I gonna cry? I don't think so. Okay, it's just nice. Uh, it says hi, we are a small family business. Together with my wife, we turned a room of our house into a workshop and we prepare all orders here with pleasure. Thank you very much for supporting us in our growth by shopping. We send you the key chains we produce from the leather as a gift and a small fridge ornament as a small souvenir from us. Reviews and five-star ratings are very important to us, so please don't forget to leave a five-star rating and a photo review if you want to support us. I wish you and your family a happy and healthy life. Kind regards, and I'm unsure how to pronounce that name.

Speaker 3:send me the link. Yeah, because I would love to do something for mom with her favorite hymn. Yeah, you can do all kinds of stuff. Taylor.
Speaker 2:But they sent these little keychains.
Speaker 3:Stop, that's so nice.
Speaker 2:They sent two of them in two different colored leathers. That's so nice. I think I've made Taylor cry on every show since she's left. That's so nice. The company is called Leather Wall Art. Their Instagram is LWA Gifts G-i-f-t-s um and their instagram's awesome. They have not nearly enough support for what they produced, I mean this is what was it again uh, it's lwa WA Gifts, gifts, gifts and the company is called Leather Wall Art.
Speaker 2:But they were on Amazon, so I'm going to leave them a review and then I'm going to also send him this clip from our show. But I mean, the quality on this thing is incredible, like it's very nice leather. They got it done in like two days. The longest part was the shipping, and that wasn't even there. Really, yeah, it was done and in FedEx within two days.
Speaker 3:What was their Amazon storefront again?
Speaker 2:I think it's called Leather Wall Art. You're going to have to send me a picture of their? Um. Yeah, yeah, I'll send it to you, but I just want, if you're interested, if you're listening and you're interested, um, this gift cost? It was 39 originally, but once I did all of my customization, it ended up being $69 worth every penny. This is a very nice frame, the, the. It came with a stand so that you can set it up instead of hanging it and, like I said, the quality on the actual leather itself is really really nice and it's it's engraved very nicely, it's very legible, you can get it in a bunch of different colors and they'll put pretty much anything on leather that you send them.
Speaker 1:So great gift idea.
Speaker 3:Agreed.
Speaker 2:For anybody that loves music. Fantastic gift idea, and, yeah, I think that's.
Speaker 3:Lindsay, did you also get your wallet off Amazon? Is that something that I could find?
Speaker 1:No, I got mine from Etsy.
Speaker 3:Oh okay, they're so expensive.
Speaker 1:Yeah, personalized things. I typically try to get from Etsy, though, because of things like that.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because it's you know directly from.
Speaker 3:And it's just better quality yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the wallet's extremely nice. It's very durable.
Speaker 3:I was going to say it looked really durable.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a very nice wallet. It's a little full at the moment. I need to empty it out a little bit. With all that cash.
Speaker 3:I wish, listen, sorry, that just reminded me. So when the hurricane hit, dylan went and took a bunch of cash out of the bank because the banks actually were closed. Anyways, he took a bunch of cash out of the bank so he could do things, and I was on FaceTime with him a couple of days ago and Shmilo was with me on FaceTime and he pulled out money out of his wallet to pay for his food, because he's like I have all this cash, I might as well use it. And Shiloh went okay, you're rich.
Speaker 3:He was like it's a $20 bill $20 is $20. $20 is $20.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's funny. So the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame happened. The induction ceremony. Lindsay and I watched it in its entirety.
Speaker 1:We weren't planning on it. We fast forwarded a whole lot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, we fast forwarded through.
Speaker 3:It was like five or six hours long. Yeah, it was four and a half hours long. Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 2:We did fast forward through a decent chunk of stuff, but the important parts we caught. The important parts. I would say I didn't sit and listen to like Everyone's speeches, but the performances we watched all of the performances Besides A Tribe Called Quest Just because I don't really and Kool and the Gang. I didn't really know any of their stuff, but outside of that we watched everybody. But the highlights stuff, but outside of that we watched Everybody. But the highlights. Basically, cher was inducted, which was a huge one. Taylor, I want to show you.
Speaker 1:She has music that spans over seven decades, seven or six.
Speaker 2:Seven, seven decades. Was it seven or six? Seven, seven decades Is she?
Speaker 1:70?.
Speaker 2:I think 75.
Speaker 1:A little bit older, I think, maybe I don't know, so she started doing.
Speaker 3:A decade is 10 years, right? I'm not tripping, right? I thought Cher was the one in the middle and I was like, wow, I could barely get out of bed this morning and that's what Cher looks like. That's crazy.
Speaker 2:I just wanted to make that bigger, but I don't.
Speaker 3:Oh, is that Zendaya?
Speaker 1:Yeah, she's the one who introduced her, and she also chose that outfit because it kind of replicates one of the outfits that Cher wore. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:She is fantastic and an underrated musician, like I know. She's an actress, yes, but the voice Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was Zendaya's outfit and then Dua Lipa performed. Oh, I love that Dua Lipa's, and that was her outfit.
Speaker 3:It's very Cher also.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they both kind of like replicated a Cher outfit you basically saw her everything. It was wild, taylor. Wow, I'm sure it was wild, is that?
Speaker 3:Charli D'Amelio.
Speaker 2:No, that's Dua Lipa.
Speaker 3:Wow, from afar they kind of look the same.
Speaker 1:She has like no anything underneath the back this whole hoo-ha. Yeah.
Speaker 3:That's crazy.
Speaker 2:They inducted Ozzy, which was awesome. Jack Black did the speech to bring up Ozzy and then hung out with him on stage.
Speaker 1:I love that it was incredible.
Speaker 2:Maynard James Keenan performed.
Speaker 3:Ozzy Osbourne has had better days. Sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Jelly Roll performed Zach Wild, billy Idol, billy Idol, chad Smith from the.
Speaker 1:Chili.
Speaker 2:Peppers. So that performance was incredible. Smith from the Chili Peppers that performance was incredible.
Speaker 1:Foreigner got inducted One of the most amazing performances I have ever seen, and they had Lou Graham, the original singer, come back on and he sang with them.
Speaker 3:That's incredible. I can't believe Foreigner wasn't in there before. I can't wrap my head around that. That's crazy.
Speaker 2:But they had Kelly Clarkson perform for Foreigner and she did. I Want to Know what Love Is Amazing. Oh my god, Taylor.
Speaker 3:I'm going to have to watch it after this. I love Kelly Clarkson's voice, her wah vocals.
Speaker 2:Incredible.
Speaker 1:Mary J Blige.
Speaker 2:Maryary j blige got in and that speech.
Speaker 1:If you want, oh, taylor I can't.
Speaker 2:We can't watch it on this show, but if you're listening, um, go listen to the speech that dr dre gave and method man and Method man for Mary J Blige.
Speaker 1:So funny.
Speaker 2:It is unreal. It is an unreal speech.
Speaker 1:The thing is they get these speeches beforehand. Yeah, and they're supposed to practice them. Yeah, so they're used to what it says. Yeah, you can tell he read it. That was the first time he's ever read it.
Speaker 2:It was the first time he's ever. It was the first time he's ever seen it tripping over words he reads, reads like me, he reads, he reads like me. That's really funny. He was reading like it was a book report. He was he and he can't see too, because he's like he's like trying to like, went and see what it says and he's like bent over, weird it was. The whole thing was crazy, yeah, and it went on for way too long. It was like 10-ish minutes, that's insane.
Speaker 1:Oh, and then uh, dave massey's band yes, they performed.
Speaker 2:Oh, jimmy buffett got inducted good it was oh it was so sad.
Speaker 3:It was so sad.
Speaker 1:And then Kenny Chesney performed, or him and some other people performed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, kenny Chesney, some of Jimmy Buffett's songs oh. What's his name? Taylor, something, james Taylor, kenny Chesney.
Speaker 1:And I don't know who the other guy was.
Speaker 2:I don't know who the other guy was yeah. Dave Matthews performed a Jimmy Buffett song. It was great. It was so good my heart. Great performances all around. There wasn't a bad performance that night at all. I was happy with the list.
Speaker 1:The people that got inducted. Everyone deserved to get inducted.
Speaker 2:Dua Lipa was a little pitchy. Yeah, she did get a little choppy there, but she found it. She found it. It took a minute, but she found it.
Speaker 1:But she was a model before she was a singer, that's true.
Speaker 2:She also sang the hardest Cher song, I would say.
Speaker 1:There's harder songs.
Speaker 2:I'm excited to watch Kelly.
Speaker 3:Clarkson's performance.
Speaker 2:It's incredible.
Speaker 3:I want to pause so I can watch it. Right now I need to see.
Speaker 2:So good. But yeah, if you get a chance, go check out the whole show. It was really good. Even if you, like I said, if you just fast forward like we did and just watch their performances, it's on Disney+ and yeah, it's worth it. Or just go to YouTube and watch their performances. It was really good. The Ozzy Osbourne one was insane.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:The massive amount of talent that went out on that stage and performed. You know there was one bad performance. Jelly Roll cannot sing. Mama, I'm Coming Home. That was, he couldn't find those notes he has a very smoker voice he does and, like I, it's not even his fault. He started to sing in his registry yeah, register register, register yeah like he sang in his tone yeah but the band didn't change keys to match him. They played the original key no, that's messed up.
Speaker 2:That's on them and ozzy sings in a higher register than jelly roll can. Yeah, so I don't necessarily blame him, and he was trying like hell to find the note but he couldn't find it no, that's definitely. The band should have changed it felt in, it felt like he hadn't practiced yeah like they didn't practice that particular song together yeah, they should, like he was just at the show and they're like you want to go on.
Speaker 2:He was like hell yeah yeah but I could be wrong, but I know he was definitely struggling to find the mama, specifically the mama I'm coming home note yeah, like he's a good singer, like I don't know, he's not bad.
Speaker 3:No, he's like he's fine.
Speaker 2:He's a much better songwriter than he is a singer.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's fair, I'll give you that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and he's not like a great songwriter, if I'm being honest. He's fine.
Speaker 3:That's what I'm saying. He's fine. I want to hear him on the radio and be like he's good.
Speaker 2:He's putting out a good message into the world, and that's what matters Spreading positivity.
Speaker 3:Love it.
Speaker 2:So, anyways, I think that pretty much recaps the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Is there anything that I'm not remembering? Oh, during the Dave Matthews band section, who was that actress that came out and presented for them?
Speaker 1:Julia Roberts.
Speaker 2:Julia Roberts wants to fuck Dave Matthews so bad.
Speaker 1:Talking all about it in front of her husband that was also in the crowd.
Speaker 2:And he was on coke, for sure.
Speaker 1:Dave Matthews. No, her husband oh probably.
Speaker 2:And did you see Dave Matthews? Dave Matthews looks like an asshole. He looked like he was not wanting to be there.
Speaker 1:He is an asshole.
Speaker 2:He was like I have so many other things I would rather be doing, but every time she talked about, maybe it's because his wife was there and that was making him mad, or maybe it caused an argument earlier in the evening. I don't. Maybe it's because his wife was there and that was making him mad, or maybe it caused an argument earlier in the evening. I don't know, but every time Julia Roberts talked he looked so angry with every word coming out of her mouth. It was crazy.
Speaker 2:He's a cutie, dave Matthews. Yeah, he's an alright guy, I like him, he's alright. I like the band.
Speaker 1:He's from Virginia.
Speaker 2:He is from Virginia. I think Virginia Beach.
Speaker 1:I don't know?
Speaker 2:Well, they were talking about a bar that they started at. That was on Virginia Beach. So yeah, pretty cool stuff, but the performance.
Speaker 3:Sorry.
Speaker 2:I know, but her hair is so beautiful. She has aged differently I love her hair. I don't think she's aged bad. I don't think she looks bad.
Speaker 3:No, she just looks like she'd eat my soul.
Speaker 1:Because her mouth is so big.
Speaker 2:She looks like the girl from Jurassic Park now, like if you put them side by side, the Lauren.
Speaker 1:Laura Dern.
Speaker 2:Laura Dern. If you put them side by side, I'd be like, yeah, I can see that they're sisters or something no.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:But yeah, Dave Matthews seemed quite upset with the things that she was saying.
Speaker 1:Emma Roberts is her niece Really.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm, I didn't know that. Mm-hmm, laura Dern and Juliats look nothing alike. No, I was thinking you're thinking of the girl from jurassic world, not jurassic park?
Speaker 2:no, I think the original jurassic park, the one that was with dr grant yeah she played ellie I know, I know who she is.
Speaker 3:I'm just saying I think you're thinking of the other girl I'm not.
Speaker 2:The other girl is a redhead and looks nothing like julia roberts let me see I I forget her name from jurassic world um you're right, they look nothing alike christine, something dallas howard
Speaker 2:bryce dallas howard, damn it. Um, anyways, that was the end of the the rock and roll hall of fame induction ceremony. They were they were the last ones. That could also be why, if I had to sit there for six hours on a chance and you have no idea how long they were there before the show you know what I mean. He could have been there like nine hours.
Speaker 1:That's why they're all sitting at tables and they have food and drinks. I mean to think if you were Dave Matthews and you were the last person, you couldn't really do anything that entire time.
Speaker 2:Right, because you have to perform.
Speaker 1:Certain foods affect your voice. Certain drinks affect your voice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he could have just been. I would have been pissed. Could have just been on the line.
Speaker 1:Could you imagine how much fun Cher had after that, Because she was first.
Speaker 2:Oh hell yeah, she's probably trash.
Speaker 1:She had a good time.
Speaker 2:Or she was smart and went home, because that's what I would do.
Speaker 1:I got an AP in bedtime yeah.
Speaker 2:She went, took her pictures and said all right, I'm getting the fuck out of here.
Speaker 3:Doesn't she have a 30-year-old husband now, or something?
Speaker 1:They're not married. But her out of here, doesn't she have a 30-year-old husband now or something? They're not married. But I just heard a thing that said something about they were splitting up or something and she was finally talking to her kids again because they were pissed about her being with this guy. Yeah, because she's like 70-something and he was like 32.
Speaker 3:That's crazy.
Speaker 1:When I saw that I was like that's insane.
Speaker 3:That's been a few years, yeah, like for a hot second.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I have a very fun game for us, taylor, cool, but first let's do your Wordle.
Speaker 1:Oh yes.
Speaker 2:Or should we do my game first, let's do your game first. Okay, I or should we do my game first? Let's do your game first. I don't know how long mine's going to take.
Speaker 3:That's okay. I haven't got a name for this one.
Speaker 2:Yet this is a game where I took records, I took album covers and I changed them, and you and Lindsay have to guess the artist.
Speaker 3:I'm so bad at this.
Speaker 2:You have to guess the artist.
Speaker 1:He's the only one that knows albums. You have to guess the artist. So bad at this. You have to guess the artist he's the only one that knows albums you have to guess the artist and then if the album name if you can guess the album name for an extra point okay, yeah, all right cute taylor.
Speaker 2:It goes in a specific order. You get to go first because it's sabrina carpenter I didn't say that. I just said that you get to go first okay okay because it's so what do you?
Speaker 3:sabrina carpenter. Short, short and sweet short and sweet that's crazy. You just did a blue album. That could be a lot of things, it's okay. Okay, my girlfriend.
Speaker 2:Is Sabrina Carpenter. Short and sweet, it's okay, lindsay.
Speaker 1:I have no idea what that is.
Speaker 2:No idea what it is.
Speaker 1:Is it the fray? I have no clue.
Speaker 2:Is the fray your guess?
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 2:Okay, do you want to give a guess on an album name?
Speaker 1:How to Save a Life. I don't know.
Speaker 2:The answer was in a second, the Fray.
Speaker 1:Oh, hey, wow.
Speaker 2:And the title of the album is the Fray. It's the self-titled album. It was their first one.
Speaker 1:That was a complete yes.
Speaker 2:How impressive is that change of the art, isn't that incredible. You did great, buddy, thanks, okay, so Taylor.
Speaker 1:I didn't know that was people in front, any clue? Okay, so, taylor, I didn't know that was people in front any clue?
Speaker 2:um well, you kind of left the album title up there but I did so.
Speaker 3:You at least get one point.
Speaker 1:The album is born to die, uh-huh I know who it is um, um.
Speaker 3:We don't get hints, do we? That's crazy.
Speaker 2:I don't. I will say this is the hardest one on there.
Speaker 3:I'm trying to think of who would have an album titled that and for some reason I want to say Lord, but that doesn't feel right.
Speaker 2:You're way closer than you think, really. Yeah, I only put this on here because I know that we've talked about her and this specific album before.
Speaker 3:Oh, I don't know, because truly my only guess is Lorde.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:It's Lana Del Rey.
Speaker 2:It is Lana Del Rey I have no idea who that is.
Speaker 3:She sucks.
Speaker 2:That's the conversation that we've had about her, oh that checks out Lana Del Rey Born to die Okay.
Speaker 3:I know this one.
Speaker 1:So do I.
Speaker 2:It's your turn.
Speaker 1:It's Elton John. Oh, never mind it's not Do you want to know what?
Speaker 2:I thought it was am I wrong? Taylor, what was your guess?
Speaker 3:bruno mars. I can't remember the name of the album, but it's yellow am I wrong? No, it's definitely bruno mars are we ready?
Speaker 2:yeah, yes and it was bruno mars but it's a yellow brick road I know dude, I'm mad.
Speaker 3:What's the name of that? Oh, it's my fate, because it has hooligans in it. It's one of my favorite albums because I love that it has the word hooligans I'm so mad that was.
Speaker 2:That was the point, though I made it look like yellow brick road. I did it on purpose that's crazy.
Speaker 3:I knew right away.
Speaker 2:I was like, oh, that's definitely bruno mars, right in a different dimension it was so hard to come up with a way to change this that made sense.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean yeah like like that was a good job it was very difficult.
Speaker 2:I completely changed the color scheme because I was like, if I don't, you're gonna guess it yeah all right taylor yeah, oh, nirvana, someone with a naked baby.
Speaker 3:Um, do they have an album called money?
Speaker 2:nope, iconic albums of all time. It is I.
Speaker 3:I don't know the name of this album iconic albums of all time it is. I don't know the name of it it is never mind it's got a naked baby it does have a naked baby yep penis baby penis alright could have been Adam in a different life.
Speaker 2:You know that aww, I deleted that, so I don't know why that's there. The program that I was using to fix all of these was an AI thing and I and I said put a box. And I was like I don't know what you're going for, but that's not said put a box. And it put that in the room and I was like I don't know what you're going for, but that's not where I won.
Speaker 3:That's really funny.
Speaker 1:Put box. Is this my turn?
Speaker 2:Yes, so imagine that that is not there. Put box. I'm so pissed.
Speaker 1:That's really funny.
Speaker 2:Um, I accidentally saw you doing that I think you did, and I was like yeah, and I was like don't lock.
Speaker 1:I don't know what it's called though.
Speaker 2:Taylor, it's matchbox 20. It's the iconic album that we love and wait.
Speaker 3:I'm thinking of two different albums that neither look like it's not North and it's not, as North, the one with unwell on it no or is that unwell North had the poppy stuff that I love?
Speaker 2:yeah, has.
Speaker 1:She's so mean and all that on it I love that um this one has the man yeah, it's the unwell album, but I don't know the name of it yourself or someone like you yeah, yeah, I wouldn't have gotten that.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:Really.
Speaker 1:Why did she get all the easy ones?
Speaker 2:Because I you gave me.
Speaker 1:Yellow Brick Road, and it's not Yellow Brick Road.
Speaker 2:Because I figured Taylor would suck at this game.
Speaker 3:Um, I got one of ours, so I'm just you know. Uh, lindsay, do you want to take this one? No, it's okay. Dark Side of the Moon, pink Floyd.
Speaker 2:It is Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.
Speaker 3:I really love that album and I kind of want that as my phone background.
Speaker 1:It's a cool image. It is a really cool image. There would have to be.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, that's Taylor.
Speaker 1:Swift 1989. Yep, I mean the birds, the birds.
Speaker 3:The colors.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's Taylor Swift 1989.
Speaker 1:Damn it, that was easy.
Speaker 2:I told you they were easy.
Speaker 3:That was fun. I liked that that was fun.
Speaker 2:It's a great game.
Speaker 1:It takes a long time to do she's hard, I'm sure.
Speaker 2:Probably.
Speaker 1:It's pretty easy.
Speaker 2:It took me, I think, an hour, or like an hour and a half, to do these eight images, but the power of AI is a great tool.
Speaker 3:Hang on, guys, I'm pulling mine up, don't worry. That was a lot of fun. I really liked that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got a couple with a name for it.
Speaker 3:Whose album is it anyways?
Speaker 2:What were you going?
Speaker 3:to say Nothing. Let me make sure I'm spelling this right hang on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I had fun doing it. Um, I had fun like making it, but uh, next time I'm gonna go with something a little more challenging oh, my word.
Speaker 3:I didn't realize that my word is actually two words.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the one rule, buddy.
Speaker 3:I know, For some reason I definitely thought Okay, then I'll do this.
Speaker 2:For those listening, Taylor every week does a music themed wordle. That is also two words wordle and um, as a fan of the show. If you're listening, you can play together at home, together, along with us. You can, anyways, you guess with us, and then the payoff is if you just listen to the show, you get the answer. So if you're familiar with the game wordle, uh, you have five, five options, five chances right to guess it and um taylor's words can be longer, but it's usually five letters right yes but you can make them longer so crazy here I go again.
Speaker 3:All right ready no, hang on, oh wait, stand by okay, stand by Okay, okay.
Speaker 2:So this word is six letters long.
Speaker 3:Yep, and it was my third choice because I didn't realize my first two choices were two different words.
Speaker 2:So we're going to guess guitar first, because that's six letters.
Speaker 1:It's six letters, it's six letters.
Speaker 2:I'm spelling a different word.
Speaker 3:Oh, I can't do that. I have to do this.
Speaker 2:Okay, so we got an I.
Speaker 1:Put out of place.
Speaker 2:And this is music themed, correct?
Speaker 1:Yes, of course you want to choose one Pianos.
Speaker 2:Pianos P-I-A-N-O-S.
Speaker 1:That's what I was spelling on my hand.
Speaker 2:We got the I right and there's an N and an O, so the I is in the second position and there is an N and an O.
Speaker 1:In missionary. That are out of place. Are you making fun of my baby?
Speaker 3:Sorry, we started doing it when I was down there. It's so cute, like it really is so cute.
Speaker 2:Okay, so the letters that we have left to choose from are Q, w, e, yeah, y, d, f, h, j, k, l, v, b and M. Second letter is an I.
Speaker 3:Second letter is an I One minute Second letter is an up.
Speaker 2:Any guesses?
Speaker 1:Second.
Speaker 2:Okay, sorry, I'm just trying to fill the void of sound. If you guys need a hint. Let me know Music category Is it an instrument?
Speaker 1:Is it a person? It is a person, it's an instrument.
Speaker 2:It's an instrument that helps Violin. That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 3:What? Oh, because I spelled it Violin.
Speaker 1:She spelled it Violin, violin, it's violin we nailed it.
Speaker 3:Do you want to know what my hint was going to be?
Speaker 2:Sure.
Speaker 3:Strings.
Speaker 2:She was going to pull out. Oh, I thought you were going to pull out.
Speaker 3:He was such a noble dude.
Speaker 2:I thought you were going to pull out the little violin.
Speaker 3:I was going to do that after you guys guessed it but mom took it away and I don't know where it's at. She took it away. Yeah, now would be a perfect time to play it, because you're sad I found it. I lied, yeah, I think I think someone else kept playing it so I got taken away, but it's been put back. I want to just let it play.
Speaker 2:I want to hear the whole thing you know, because it's got a whole thing. That's so funny.
Speaker 3:Anyways, do you want to know what my first thing was going to be?
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 3:That I thought was really funny.
Speaker 2:I was going to do Piano man. Ah, that is in fact two words.
Speaker 3:It is two, and for some reason I didn't think about it being two words yeah, because you got piano and man and then I also was gonna do pop star and I was that's also two words because, you have pop and then star but why is pop star not one word?
Speaker 2:well, because it's two. It's two words that's so silly.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean. That's really silly and I think it should actually be two words. What are we at? Oh, you guys want to do um connections hey, we might as well.
Speaker 2:Right, we're slowly just turning into a wordle and connections game only.
Speaker 3:I want to learn how to knit, so bad. Speaking about being old, I would just really love to knit.
Speaker 2:So Halloween was the other day, right? So we're out there, we're in our costumes and we're sitting there and this little girl comes out dressed as a grandma.
Speaker 1:Oh my god. It was the funniest she had a cane and everything, and she played the part.
Speaker 2:She took her time walking up there and everything Came over to our candy bowl and she goes what's in here so funny?
Speaker 3:I love that.
Speaker 1:Started to walk away from us. After she said thank you and everything, dropped her cane, she goes. Oh, I'm just gonna have to bend over a picnic. Oh, my god, taylor, the funniest thing in the world.
Speaker 3:No, I love that she I, we, we had a little girl come into bath and body works yesterday and she came in and she had on these little um, you know the like, the sunflower sunglasses and it was. We opened at 10 am yesterday, so it was 10 am sharp when they went in there. She was in that christmas onesie with the feetsies. She wasn't even wearing shoes, she just had the feetsies on the bottom and she, she had her a little clear pacifier in. She was like one and a half two and she had a little a basket. They gave her a basket and she's walking around the store putting things in her basket and then they get to the front. There was a whole crew of them get to the front. She looks at me with with her disheveled blonde hair and her onesie starts taking the things from her basket and placed them on the counter.
Speaker 2:That's so funny.
Speaker 3:I was crying. I said you guys are in danger. That's crazy. You taught her that that early and they bought the things she put in her basket. I was like that's insane, like all of them. Yeah, I think they gave her the permission to like because they were like little things, you know. She got a little lotion and some hand sanitizer, so like. I put them in a little bag for her, that's so cute, so funny. I was cracking up.
Speaker 2:Give me permission. I got it, here we go, so we're going to play Connections. This is a word game you can play on the New York Times. New York Times website. So basically, there are four different categories of wording 16 words. There are 16 words and you have to find how four of these words connect to each other, and there are four different connecting categories Sense, moving money, tender, feeling, hearing, listening, proceeding, touching chair, inquiry, sweet hunch, trial impression.
Speaker 3:Let's see here how do.
Speaker 2:I feel about that um tender feeling, listening and sweet yeah it's crazy, they only give you four mistakes yeah let's hold, let's hold off on that yeah because at first first glance I see um street and impression would be first street, first impression okay but, I can't find any money well, no, because we're.
Speaker 3:we're different because I see street money proceeding trial it's not personal connection, it's. Taylor, what do you see first? Oh my gosh, that's funny oh shit, that's so funny, hunch, and inquiry.
Speaker 2:Feeling and touching makes sense.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but I feel like feeling and touching, like it would be sense touching, hearing and like maybe, feeling and listening, but that also doesn't Like we could do feeling, touching, hearing, listening, yeah, but it wouldn't be feeling and touching, right, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I feel like sense would go with touching. Would it be touching like, oh, that's really nice of you and sweet?
Speaker 2:and tender so like tender, that's touching. That's tender, that's sweet, that's tender, that's sweet.
Speaker 1:It's very moving. Something can be very moving.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, I think that's it.
Speaker 3:Should we try that?
Speaker 2:Let's try it. Hell yeah, heartwarming words. Okay, now we're getting somewhere.
Speaker 1:You, now we've got you have a hunch, you have a sense, you have an inquiry.
Speaker 2:Oh, yep, you're on to it.
Speaker 1:You have a feeling, yep.
Speaker 2:Yep, yep. So we've got street feeling, hearing, listening, proceeding sense chair.
Speaker 3:Impression, not feeling.
Speaker 2:No, no, I've got a feeling, I've got a sense, I've got a hunch.
Speaker 3:Could also be impression, because I feel like impression, like feeling and listening, I feel like go together. But I could be wrong.
Speaker 2:Let's give this one a shot.
Speaker 3:Okay, I'm feeling good, nope.
Speaker 2:One away, should I?
Speaker 3:Give it a shot Still one away, yikes, uh-oh, okay, we know that one's right.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's not inquiry. Maybe it's an impression instead of inquiry.
Speaker 1:Well, let's think We'll see. Then you can have proceeding a trial.
Speaker 3:That's what I was just about to say. Appearing.
Speaker 1:But I don't know what that fourth one would be, chair. Would it be inquiry?
Speaker 3:It might be Because I'm also thinking first street, first chair.
Speaker 1:First impression.
Speaker 2:First impression yeah, like I was saying earlier, yeah, okay, should we try this to see yeah, I guess, legal session, hearing, inquiry, proceeding in trial, legal session, yeah, okay, so we've got first street, first chair, first impression first sense first hunch but see, then you gotta think of what that other one's gonna be right, because then it's I've got a hunch, I've got a feeling because remember we were one away on those Hunch sense.
Speaker 3:I think it's sense listening, feeling hunch, because those are all like.
Speaker 2:I have a feeling.
Speaker 3:I have a hunch.
Speaker 1:I have a sense, sense I still think it's impression. But we tried that.
Speaker 2:Well, it was wrong because we had inquiry Should we? Try this. Yeah, I think that's it Sneaking suspicion. Feeling hunch impression and sense.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And this next one is hold on. Hold on, but don't click it. Okay, this next one is money, street, listening and chair. So we think that it's first street, first chair. That doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3:First money, First first money first listening just click it and see what it says you gotta read quick though yeah, easy chair, that doesn't make sense easy listening, easy money and what was the?
Speaker 1:other one, I don't know easy street easy street.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that makes sense. I don't know chair, I don't know what that means no idea oh that was fun guys that was fun we're getting so smart all right, buddy, it is that time.
