Hi, thanks for joining us today. It's Nora and Nora, welcome to our first-time listeners and our old friends alike. We're glad you're here. Yes, we are, and we are happy to be here. We are happy to be here Recording this podcast for you. Yeah, happy, belated Mother's Day and to you, thank you. I thought of that when I was editing. I was like, oh, clearly Mother's Day was not on our radar when we recorded. No, so it was not a mention at all. But did you have a nice one? We had the perfect Mother's Day. Did have two football games and two soccer games, but aside from that, it was great. I went for a big old run and we had lunch with some bubbles and then Catherine Grace served mass and we had a low-key dinner at home. Ryan made dinner and we just all hung out together. It was great. Oh, that's nice. The girls like laid in the backyard sunbathing and playing soccer. Oh, cute, in between all of our sports, and, yeah's good. How about you? It was nice.
Speaker 1:I kind of made an executive decision. I was like we are doing something as a family, okay, and uh, and the day after I made that decision, kevin's travel baseball was like we're playing a mother's day game and I was like kevin's not. I was like, nope, that's so sad. He told me this on Wednesday. Oh, it came out on Wednesday, came out on a Wednesday, oh yeah, and Mother's Day was Sunday and I was like we already have plans, we already have tickets. Yeah, I was like sorry, not sorry, travel baseball. I was like he won't be there.
Speaker 1:The Hershey experience at Water Tower, which was meh. I wouldn't recommend it. Okay, but we did have fun. Hold on. Yes, you wouldn't recommend it for you or for kids. I wouldn't really recommend it for anyone. Oh, wow, okay, that's a big statement. Did your kids like it? We had fun. I would just say like it's kind of expensive and it's like we went to Slumo and that was very fun and it was humongous, and it was like room after room after room of slime and experience and like we did a Harry Potter thing. Again, it was humongous. It was room after room, very extensive. This was one room with four different corners.
Speaker 1:And then the one thing you're supposed to get like like a Hershey's employee badge, and that was broken, so we didn't get that. And then the coolest part was you could design a Hershey Kiss wrapper and then you put it in this machine and then it looks like it's being produced. Oh cute, but it actually isn't, it's just like a video. Oh, it's like a video. Oh, it's like a simulation. Yes, so I took pictures and the kids actually really got into it and it was funny. Like Rory's were really funny and then Al did Like we all did one, and it was fun. But then it was also kind of like that would have been the perfect souvenir, right, or what a moneymaker to be like hey, you can buy a bag of these for a million dollars. You could have designed your own Hershey bar wrapper.
Speaker 1:But kind of, by then we were all like we good. So I mean it was, Did you have a good dinner down there? Well, then I messed up. I thought dinner with my whole family was at 430 and it was a four, but like the Hershey thing was so short that we were like, oh my God, what are we going to do with all this time we have? Because it was 2.30.
Speaker 1:I thought we had two hours to burn downtown, but we were like it was like a lot of time but not enough time to do something cool. So we kind of like dragged our feet at Water Tower. And then we went. I was like let's drive and look at the Obama's house in Hyde Park. So we did that. Good for you for thinking on the fly. But it was funny because I am a rule follower yes, you are. And it was like no pedestrians allowed Because the street is blocked off and it says like this is protected by Secret Service. And it was clever because it said residential area and somebody changed it into presidential. That's funny. But me and all the kids were like oh my God, we can't go down here. It says no pedestrians. And Al's like who's going to stop us? We're just walking, we're not doing anything bad. So five of us were like oh my God. And Al was just strolling down the street and then he's like let's take a picture. And we're all like, oh God, it's evidence of our wrongdoing. Did you take a picture? We did, yeah, were you all like this? Like hurry up? And then we got to dinner. It's 20 minutes late and here we thought we were 10 minutes early. Happy Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day, alas and alack.
Speaker 1:So close to summer, I have to tell you there is a new drink of summer. Oh good, because it's not the dirty spritz? No, but it's another blend. Okay, it's the spicy sav-bee. Oh, I like sav. How do you say it? Sauvignon blanc Sav-bee? Yeah, yeah, a saab B? Yeah, so the spicy one requires you to slice and freeze jalapeno peppers. Okay, and then you fill up your glass of saab and add your frozen jalapeno peppers.
Speaker 1:Have you tried it? No, are you going to? I don't like saab B. Oh, okay, I mean I'll drink it. I'll drink it. Oh, okay, I mean I'll drink it. I'll drink it. Maybe you like it spicy. I drink it. If somebody offers it to me. Yeah, like whatever, but I don't. It's not your first and I also didn't have any jalapenos on here. Could you have a spicy shart Like, why soft bean? Oh, I don't know. Blasphemy, it's gross. Okay, okay, I just wasn't sure what. What made sock. I would do a spicy marg especially.
Speaker 1:But speaking of drinks, I also discovered this new topo chico. I'm really excited to try it. Um, you've opened it for me. It looks so refreshing. Yeah, it's um non-alcoholic lime with mint flavored sparkling water and it has five calories in it. Oh, I like it. I think I like it.
Speaker 1:I wasn't expecting it to be quite so limey. Is it too flavorful for you? I could see that for you, but it definitely has a strong flavor with other natural flavors. I wonder what, besides lime and mint, potassium, that doesn't. I always think that tastes like bananas. I knew I tasted chloride in there. Oh, that's right, there's probably the magnesium is real strong. I'm real sensitive. But no, I'm going to keep trying and see.
Speaker 1:I think, because it looks really nice, I would mix this with tequila. That's a great idea. Oh, I like that idea a lot. And then you're, there's your margarita. Yeah, this is great, awesome, yeah, okay, you, in my opinion, always give the most thoughtful hostess gifts.
Speaker 1:Well, thank you. You're very good at gifts in general, but especially hostess gifts. You are always one to do that. You never forget. It's always very thoughtful.
Speaker 1:Aina garten, the barefoot contessa, just told everybody what her go-to hostess gifts are and I was curious what you thought. Because it's not wine, no, it's okay, I don't always give wine. She said I don't like to give hosts or hostesses something that they feel like they have to use right away, which is what our friend Margarita from Hensel Table said. I was surprised by some of the things she said, like guest towels or like kitchen towels. No, okay, um, let me see if I can guess another.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, soap, no, it's not. It's not like liquid dial, like pretty soaps, yeah, um, you're looking around, I'm looking around my house, I know you tell me. Well, they're all ingestible. Oh, you eat all of them. You eat all of them. A bag of pasta, close, granola Ugh. Tea, like fancy teas. Chocolates, chocolates, great Chocolates, I was okay. Or coffee, like fancy gourmet coffee.
Speaker 1:How do you even make coffee? You would buy it like ground coffee. You have to have a coffee pot machine. Coffee pot machine, a machine. You don't bring it brewed, you would give them the beans, oh, but the host has to put those crumbs into the coffee pot. The coffee machine. I don't know what a coffee machine is. Coffee machine, what a genius idea for a machine. What are the grinds called? Or the grinds, the grinds, the grinds. Yes, oh, you know what. So you would have to know that your host or hostess was a big coffee drinker. Yeah, otherwise, that has the machine to make it. Yes, also enjoys it, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Right, because coffee would.
Speaker 1:That would not be a good gift for me or for you. No, but I wouldn't mind some teas. Yeah, I mean yeah. So I just thought that was interesting.
Speaker 1:I appreciate the gesture always, yes, but I also I mean, when I first read granola, I'm like like a Trader Joe's, like zip top bag, like yeah, yeah, yeah, she's probably buying. Like gourmet, yeah, like from the, from like the farmer's market. Yeah, yeah, you said farmer's market was such disdain, you choke on it. You're farming all organic, it seems, so I use that word, but I can't think of anything else. Well, it is crummy, like it's groundy, but I like granola. If you get like a chunk of it in the bag, oh, like a cluster if you will. Yeah, granola, I'm hit or miss. My kids eat it one of my boys but they don't eat it, right, they mix it in yogurt. He'll grab it because it has a lot of calories. But they don't eat it with calories, right, they mix it in yogurt. He'll grab it because it has a lot of protein calories in it and, just like popcorn, eat it like that. Or put it in yogurt, yeah, okay, like a parfait.
Speaker 1:Also, do you know anyone named Liam or Olivia? Yeah, I do. Liam, number one for boys' names eight years in a row. Olivia, number one six years in a row. Now, the Liam that I'm thinking of is named for his grandfather, who is William. Yes, and I didn't realize that Liam was short for William. It's the Gaelic form of William. I didn't know that. Do you know any? I know quite a few Williams. Yeah, yeah, I like that name. I like it too, and I like the name Olivia. So I was also kind of like, yeah, I get it. Those are great.
Speaker 1:And then number two for boys was Noah, which is so similar to Nora. I had a friend who couldn't pronounce her R's, so it always sounded like Noah. I had a friend whose father called me Noah and her sister thought that was my name. Oh no, that's a problem, that's fine, yeah. And then Emma, number two for girls. Oh, did you happen to see where Nora fell? I did not. Okay, I don't like that. It's creeping up. Oh, I, eh, I like that. It was kind of Under the radar. Yeah, a unique name. I don't like to share my name with anyone, but you, oh phew, that was a close one. I thought you were breaking up with me. Oh no, but I just I don't know.
Speaker 1:And also, we have a little bit from a follow-up from last week. Yeah, we talked about stationery. We did, how happy it made us and we brought our wedding invitations. We did, and it's kind of fun to compare yes, we were meant to be together, because when were you married? I was married January 31st 2005. And I was right behind you in July of 2006. That's right. So, yeah, just six months later and we were on a very similar wavelength. Yeah, we were. And I remembered incorrectly.
Speaker 1:Mine doesn't have an outside envelope, it just the invitation is the envelope and we both have beautiful calligraphy. Yes, the woman who did mine lives in town. Oh, she does. And so, yeah, you opened mine up. And then we also had the same response card we did. It wasn't blank, but it just says the favor of your reply is requested by the 30th of November, and then it's blank for you to write a message and I love I didn't. Really my mom had that idea to do those. My mom and I kind of was like, okay, that's what you want to do, and I love that we did that because I have so many response cards as special keepsakes.
Speaker 1:Now here's a question to see how old we are. Okay, does your invitation have any sort of website on it at all? No, does your invitation have any sort of map? No, no maps. Oh, your map is great. Yeah, that's a great map of the city. But that just hit me right now because it says, like a block of rooms has been reserved at the hotel. Please call this number to book your hotel. Yes, phone numbers. Yeah, there's no phone numbers. And then I have even directions on the back. Oh, because you had a lot of people driving Out of towners from Chicago or Arizona or Wisconsin, right. And then it says about transportation, but yeah, there's no, no websites. No, nothing. Did you have a wedding website? No, no, I remember that it was cool that you could look up registry, like, my registry was online, but that's because Bloomingdale's did it and we even brought our program Programs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I made my program and I was quite proud of it. It turned out really nice. And then my sister tried to make hers and it went a little awry. Hers got a little sloppy. Oh, it was a little sloppy, rough around the edges, literally, yes, literally. So I, being a good maid of honor, went and I put a border of ribbon around it to try to hide some of the unevenness.
Speaker 1:I love the paper you guys chose. Thank you, it's a little pearlized kind of paper, but yours is lovely. It's like a lovely kind of like an index or what would you call it, like a, I don't know. Oh, it's also kind of weird for me to see your and Ryan's names next to each other, because you are not, I am norah ryan, so it always kind of throws me off. I'm like that's me.
Speaker 1:Uh, I would have loved to have you as a guest. Oh, as a guest, I'd like to have you guys too. Wouldn't it be fun if the friends that you made after your wedding like up until now, yeah, we're there to celebrate with you. Maybe somebody will have like a vow renewal and after party oh, you should do that, you should do that. It'll be 20 years for us, me and Alexander Then you should totally do that. I would love to come to that kind of party. Have a New Year's party and whoop it up. Yeah, we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 1:And speaking of invitations, you were spot on. Oh, I brought my sister's too. I just want to show you this. This hers is super, oh God, everything faux, but it's got a really nice. This is great, isn't that pretty? Hers are super fancy. Yeah, this looks amazing.
Speaker 1:Did your mom help design these? Yeah, aaron did it. Oh, okay, yeah, I think my, I don't. I can't speak for Aaron, but I know for my mom, like we went and she was kind of like and this and this or this, and I was like this sounds good. That's pretty much. Yeah, I don't think Erin has a website on hers either. I didn't have much say no, but I did. Oh, let me see. Hers is oh yeah, mm-hmm. So, alas, and alackack, that's our stationary. But then you but I did want to share that.
Speaker 1:You were spot on about something a dear friend of mine in-laws have a stationary company. No, they do, and it's called stone house collection. You find my instagram, get out of here and they make darling car. They do their own christmas card. Oh, yeah, I'm sure, and it's so cute. They know a guy. Yeah, and it's so cute every year.
Speaker 1:It didn't cross my mind that they do other things. I mean, I guess I just never really thought about it. Sure, but she had mentioned that they sell about 3,000 packs of cards per year. Okay, like to businesses or whatever, but at Christmastime, over 100,000 packs, wow, of solely for Christmas. Yes, and when you said that last week on the show that you think a lot of business is generated from Christmas cards. You're right on. Yeah, well, thank you Jillian. Yeah, Thanks, for she's a loyal listener too. I appreciate that. She was the one who told me about the St Germain, appreciate that? Um, she was the one who told me about the saint germain. Oh, yeah, she has all sorts of tips. Well, that's awesome. And wait, um, how about our pope business last week? What in that was amazing. Holy smoke, holy smoke. And it was very fun to.
Speaker 1:We watched it on my computer, yeah, together, and it was wild, because as we were recording, you got the news alert and then we were kind of like keeping an eye on it. It was really and you're like, ok, I'm going to go, you can't go. We're about to watch history, and we really did. And the more we watched, the more we realized, like, holy cow, this guy is not only from Chicago, he is a South Sider. There's a lot of connections that we can draw. One of our priests at our parish is friendly with him. He was like Father Bob, father Bob, father Bob is the Pope, isn't that great. He like has his phone number, because did you hear the story about the kids?
Speaker 1:So there was a fifth grade class that went to the St Rita Shrine oh yes, wait, that was my. Oh no, it was sixth grade. Yeah, st Rita Shrine oh yes, wait, that was my. Oh no, I was yeah. So they were there last week during, and Father Tom was like, let's say a prayer. My friend, father Bob, is part of the conclave and let's say a prayer for him. And then, as they finished their prayer and someone's like, oh my gosh, there's white smoke, we're going to have a new pope. And we're like, oh, we probably won't hear. And then Did they stay at St Rita? They stayed. He was a substitute teacher at St Rita and they were there at St Rita when they got the news that it was pope.
Speaker 1:Oh, I didn't know. That Isn't that crazy. Yes, those fifth graders had just like an incredible experience. Yeah, that's unreal, unreal, unreal. I know Unreal, but the memes of all the Chicago Pope memes are so funny, they're so funny.
Speaker 1:I'm really encouraged and really excited about him. I am too, I'm, hopeful that he's going to be a good Pope. I'd love to have him over for dinner, wouldn't you? Yeah, yeah, and even like the stuff of him, like at the White Sox. Yes, oh, oh, it's just yeah, it's been like, because my friend Nicole, who's also a loyal listener. She sent me a text, like the Pope is from Chicago. I was like it was just thanks to be in the news for something good and positive and happy, all of the above. It felt nice, all right.
Speaker 1:Well, should we check in with our sponsor? Let's do it. Oh, hey, there, nora, nora, just the girl I wanted to talk to you about. Tell me more. You know, you know I directed Children's Musical and I've got this props list that I'm trying to work through and I really need a tire. You think I have a tire. Well, I don't know. I'm just, I'm getting desperate. Where does one get a tire? I know a guy. You all have a guy for everything.
Speaker 1:Hagerty Buick GMC Service Department is full Of tires, of answers. They have a Fresh Start Tire event going on now Buy three, get one for a dollar on select tires. Wait, buy three, get one for a dollar. Yes, and I'm sure if we head down to 93rd and Cicero, we'd be able to find something for you. Well, that would be great. Great, because you know what? Why don't I just get my car some new tires? Put the old one in my show? I mean, I think we just solved that problem, prayers answered. While you're there, you can take a look at the rest of their inventory too Hummer EVs, sierra pickups, I mean, you name it. Buick, encores, gosh, they have it all. Yeah, everything for a great deal, right on the corner, right on the price. How can I get a hold of them? You can check them out on HagertyCarscom or head on down to 93rd and Cicero and just tell them Nora sent you. And now back to the show.
Speaker 1:Our topic this week is glasses, cheers, all the glasses, all the glasses. And it's fitting because before we started recording I got a text from our school nurse. Oh, that said hi there, nurse Nancy. Non-emergency. I just wanted to discuss the results of John's eye test, vision test. So I texted her back call anytime.
Speaker 1:My husband has terrible vision, terrible. My oldest daughter wears contacts. My middle daughter wears glasses. My oldest son is nothing. So far, so good. So John might be the next one. Poor guy. Yeah, oh my God, he'll be so cute in glasses. Oh my God, his cute little face with glasses on. Are you kidding me? I didn't realize. St John's does a vision screening. Maybe he went into the nurse and was like. He was like who is that? I'm like we both did it the same way. Who knows? And do you wear glasses? I've just started.
Speaker 1:I've got reading glasses like readers that I bought on Amazon. How did you know? Like plus one plus two, plus 1.25?. I did go to the eye doctor and have it checked out and I love my eye doctor. She sees all my kids too and she's like I can write you a prescription. She's like but really all you need is like a plus one reader. And how could you tell that they were going? Because it was blurry. Oh yeah, that'll get you, got to get you when you read, when I read so like close up, and I'd be like, hmm, can you read a menu? Yes, I still can, but I've noticed like I need a little bit more light sometimes, like I can read without them, but I really have to focus. Okay, I mean I can read my own notes, especially if I wrote it, but I would say, as the day goes on or if I'm doing a lot of work on the computer, oh, no, kidding, I need I should wear them, otherwise I'll get a headache.
Speaker 1:Oh, I wish I had glasses when I was a kid I always wanted mine. I had them. I had like a stigmatism. I feel like that was bs, like when I went like as an adult they would give a stigmatism and I'm like but my eyes are fine, so I don't really know what good they did. Okay, then I stopped wearing them, but anyways, but yeah, but your eyes are fine. So far, yeah, so far, so good. Yeah, I will say I always wear sunglasses.
Speaker 1:I was running the other day and I had a pair of sunglasses on my head and a pair of sunglasses on. Wow, I was like what should I do? I was like what should I do? I was like should I put them? Like on someone's port? Like I was going back and forth in my head. I was like, no, I just got to like stay on course. You got to stay on course. Yeah, I wear sunglasses all the time, but I realize part of the reason why I like to wear them is because I use them as a headband. Yes, not only do I not like to squint, but it's very helpful to keep my hair out of my face. Yes, I agree, my eyes are also really sensitive and they always have been, so I like to have them, even when it's cloudy, same, yeah, because there's glare.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my eyes are very dry. Oh, do you use eye drops? And so I should. I'm supposed to Because I was saying to my eye doctor at the end of the night my eyes will water, like when I lay down to sleep. It's like I have tears coming Because they're dry. She's like your eyes are so dry Now that you're closing them. They're like overworking to moisturize your eyes, no kidding. So I have eye drops and now I have them by my toothbrush so that I put them in. Oh, that's a good place to start. And then do the eye drops. She's like, just do it every day. She's like because kind of like drinking water. She's like because once your eyes are dry, they're already like dehydrated.
Speaker 1:Do you drink a lot of water? I do. Do you drink that? Apparently it's not getting to my eyeballs? Do you drink the whole thing of that? I no, I don't actually, because I'm so dry. It's all going in my eyeballs, it's all coming out at night. I try, I really try. I don't love to drink just plain old water. So that's why I drink a lot of these. Does this count? Does a sparkle water count? I think it counts. I think I mean it's water. I mean if you were like that's why I drink so much Diet Coke. Then I'd be like that doesn't count, but this is water. Yeah, it's sparkling water, but it's still water. Yeah, I'm not a doctor, but I say it counts.
Speaker 1:Okay, thank you, I had a lot of fun looking up old glasses. I'm sorry, I'm sorry that almost came out my nose. I did it for the sake of the podcast so you would have somebody to talk to, but I would also. Wasn't it ridiculous? They were so silly. All those early glasses I started reading like they were originally invented because of the snow, glare and not the sun. How about that? They would use bone or like rock to like yeah, but my favorite was the Chinese that used them to cover up facial expressions. Oh, they were on to something they were like I could use. Like mind your own business, you don't have to know. Yeah, what what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1:Gorby parker had a great little like blog post about it and they had this really cute graphic that was like they used to have these glass that was polished and shaped into like a hand. They called them reading stones. It looked like to me, you know, in a gumball machine if you get like one of those sticky like from the grocery store. Oh, the container, the plastic bubble, and there's like a sticky hand in it or like a cheap toy like it looks like. If you took the bottom half of that and stuck it on your eyeball, it does look like that. Yeah, but that? But it was also interesting to me because we were talking about stationery last week and reading in the printing press and all that stuff and then after the printing press was invented and more people started reading, that's when the demand for eyeglasses increased, because then more people were reading and needed to use their eyeballs not just for, like, farming or whatever, but for farming, just, you know, but more like focused kind of eye. Why did you bat an eye at farming? I think so. So you would imagine there were other jobs in farming. Well, yeah, in your blacksmith's shop or your tannery, tannery what's a tannery? It's like leather, like making leather. Oh, in your restaurant, in your tavern. Tavern, you're in. I am not going to say that. But the other thing is that in Italy they think that's kind of where it really got going, because they were into glassblowing, yeah, which makes sense, and they really only had them for close-up kind of stuff.
Speaker 1:I was really happy in the 20s, when movie stars started using sunglasses for fashion? Yes, yes, yeah, well, because they said, sunglasses were invented first. Yeah, so way to go. Sunglasses. I know I have different pairs of everyday sunglasses, or nice sunglasses, sunglasses, or running sunglasses. Are you someone who loses sunglasses? Yes, yes, I am, are you? No, no, when I learned like polarized lenses probably like 20 some years ago I was like this is the best, right that's. And so I bought a really nice pair of burberry sunglasses and it came in a case and I guarded these things with my life. I still have them. Oh, and you still have them. Good for you.
Speaker 1:I bought a pair like a couple of years later. I still have those too. Do you know? Christian Dior was the first designer? No, way, yeah, really, it made me want to buy a pair. It's for the OGs. And now I'm just kind of strictly gooders. You can't go wrong, because they're $25. They're so fun Because I mean you don't have to take it too seriously, but I'm kind of due for a new pair. I love Gooders, but I always do the original shape. I do too. That shape fits me best.
Speaker 1:But I was also looking up and thinking about glasses we drink from Indeed. Do you care? Are you precious about the type of glass you use? Only if it's a Guinness, I want it in a Guinness pint glass. That's the only thing you care about, the only thing Like a Diet Coke you don't want in a certain glass, wine glass, no, I mean, it's fun to drink out of a champagne flute, but I'll drink champagne out of it.
Speaker 1:So that was interesting. They were saying the original like the champagne flute, not the original. But the champagne flute is best to keep the bubbles intact. Is it the coupe? I said coupe or coupe, I don't know. I call them Greek Gatsby glasses. I call them old school champagne glasses. Open up the flavor more and I guess you're supposed to get the full flavor on your palate when you drink from that. What if you could do the coupe shape but tall like a flute?
Speaker 1:So that is the, that's your glasses, so that's those. That's the tulip glass that keeps the bubbles intact and opens up. It's the best of both worlds. The flavor, yeah, look at you. Oh, I don't know Nailing it. And I agree, like that's kind of on point. Yeah, like, when I think about it, I do like the bubbles, though it's the same. So I think I would prefer.
Speaker 1:So, now that I know that the flute is better for bubbles, I'd rather a flute Same, I mean. Mean, I'll take champagne, however I can get it. But oh, sorry, sorry, did that come out? Turn up, I'll take it, get that champagne. Are you precious? About what glass? About everything? Okay, yes, um. So I prefer a margarita in a certain glass. Oh, what glass for a margarita? Those short, chubby rocks glasses that are okay, almost like a whiskey glass. Yeah, I like these flutes for champagne. I like a red solo cup for a Diet Coke Interesting, I just drink it out of the can. Okay, I like a different glass, for I think the glass really makes the drink.
Speaker 1:I typically like to drink beer out of just the bottle. If it's in a can, I'll pour it out into a glass. But we were at a function recently that was quite fancy and I ordered a beer and I think I may have been the only person at this function who ordered a beer and the bartender didn't even ask. He put it in a glass because I think he was embarrassed for me. But actually in the end I was like you know what? I appreciate that he put it in the glass because I think he was embarrassed for me, but I actually, in the end I was like you know what? I appreciate that he put it in the glass.
Speaker 1:Did you drink beer all night because? Or did you make a change after that? Well, I drank that beer, but then it was like a. It was called grain and grape, and so it was. There were five wine glasses Grain, so grain like food and drink, and grape Okay, yeah, grain and grape, so it was like a wine. There were 16 sommeliers there. So I was like, oh, I'm supposed to drink wine at this. So I was yeah, so did you switch? So yeah, no, I drank the wine that was poured at the table and then I had a beer later. But I like that about you. You know I could do both, why not?
Speaker 1:But how do you feel about these new glasses? Glasses or like the Google, like with computers? Oh, back to glasses. Oh, like the blue light glasses, or no, the ones that are like have like a computer inside them? Oh, I don't know, like where you could be like hey, meta, wait what? Yeah, like Meta has a pair I think Google has a pair that you, they're like computer glasses so you can look through them and but then also see like computer stuff. Wait, that's terrible, and it's like an Alexa built in.
Speaker 1:How do you see what you see? How do you see what's in front of you? I think it's, I don't know, I've never tried them on. Wait, say I'm sorry, and you can edit some of this out. They're commercials. Have you seen the commercial with Chris Pratt and the guy who plays Thor and Kris Jenner? No, or they eat the banana, no, oh, okay, what? Yeah, I gotta look into this. This is a thing. How do you see? How do you see what you're supposed to see? They're clear, then hot, but then I think it projects something onto the clear.
Speaker 1:I wish people could see what I'm doing right now. So then you're walking and you see your computer, but you can't see. I think you have to call it up, like you'd have to be like hey, glass is computer, show me, show me the map, like you could see like a map. Well, I can't read a map anyway, so that would be bust. Like you could check your email, hey, and they have a camera on them. So you could be like hey, glasses, take a picture or take a video from your glasses camera. Let's pack this later. Isn't that crazy? It's crazy. Maybe I need to do more research. Um, no, that's very interesting.
Speaker 1:Should Should we let our listeners go? Should we high and low? Yeah, we'll let you go. Yeah, we should. High and low.
Speaker 1:My low is that I was late to Mother's Day. I was a little bummer, you know. I'm sorry, I just felt bad. I don't like to be late. Oh, I don't think I have a low this week. That's great and I'm right. Yeah, right, yeah, how about a high?
Speaker 1:The cast party I had a lot of fun. The kids were totally bananas and like loud and rowdy, and it was kind of great because I was like be rowdy, I don't need you anymore. Like I don't need you to focus. Yeah, I don't need you to organize anymore. Yeah, you just like. It made me happy that they had fun together. Like the grade levels were intermixing and, um, yeah, that noise doesn't bother you, it does not. I felt bad for the moms who were trying to get their attention where I was like oh boy, this is, yeah, just is us. Yeah, just let it go. Yeah, my high was probably Mother's Day. I mean, we had so much to celebrate. We had Catherine Grace's birthday, we had Mother's Day. We had my birthday just passed. We had Elle's birthday just passed, we had Easter.
