Something's Fishy...

World Password Day has us spiraling because somehow we all have a thousand logins and none of them are the right one at the right time. We trade honest confessions about password reuse, the “make up nonsense words” method, and why storing everything in a notes app can feel brilliant until you realize you’re one forgotten step away from a full reset loop. It’s funny, but it’s also a real look at how digital security and everyday life collide, especially when you’ve got family accounts, devices, and endless sign-ins to manage.

From there, we jump to a headline that makes everyone wince: a Fenway Park Jumbotron proposal where the answer is “I don’t know.” We talk about the weird pressure of public proposals, what a surprise moment should actually feel like, and share our own engagement stories where the plan goes slightly off the rails. Then we pivot into travel and consumer curiosity, including a double decker airplane seat design that promises more legroom while raising big questions about turbulence, claustrophobia, and whether “innovation” always improves the flight experience.

And because our brains work like this, we take a hard turn into fish. Not just eating fish and cooking salmon, but pet fish road trips, goldfish history, Goldfish crackers trivia, aquarium opinions, fishnets, and the darker internet side of catfishing scams. We wrap with highs and lows that get real: parenting through injury, fighting off a cold, celebrating a school musical, and the kind of gratitude that shows up as tears over concert tickets.

World Password Day Habits

SPEAKER_01 0:07

Hi, thanks for joining us today. It's Nora. And Nora, we're sure glad you're here today.

SPEAKER_00 0:11

We are. Thanks for joining us. Mm-hmm. Indeed. It is World Password Day. Oh.

SPEAKER_01 0:19

If I had a dollar for every time I had to click reset password, we'd be cooking with gas.

SPEAKER_00 0:25

I typically use the same password for everything.

SPEAKER_01 0:28

Even though, like, so you have uppercase, lowercase, a character, and a number?

SPEAKER_00 0:34

Yep. And a special character. Yeah. Did you say that? Yeah. Oh. But then if sometimes I can't use that password because if you have to change it, I will take like whatever I'm logging into and make nonsense rhyming words out of it. Like if I was trying to make a password for Nora.com, for example, I would do like Laura Bora Snora 10 exclamation point. And you remember your nonsense? No, I put all my passwords in my notes app and then it's password protected. Like by my face, which I won't forget. That's a great idea.

SPEAKER_01 1:11

Ryan also writes his passwords down. I store mine in your brain. My brain. And I think I need someone to come in and do some filing. Oh.

SPEAKER_00 1:23

Because it's whack. It's too many passwords. Too many people. Too many passwords. My heart would break when I worked at the Apple store for the older people who would come in and they would have like their password like printed out on a piece of paper from one of their children. They're like, This is my password. Please fix my phone.

SPEAKER_01 1:40

Or be happy for them that their parents or their children were looking out from, I suppose.

Jumbotron Proposal Risk And Reactions

SPEAKER_00 1:45

Yeah, they were. And then I'm like, well, there's you know, and then I'd be like, Do you have a different password? This one didn't work. They're like, ah, jeez. You know who I do feel bad for though?

SPEAKER_01 1:57

This poor gentleman who was at Fenway Park, his name was Douglas. Okay. He was with his girlfriend, Sarah Lynn. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:05

And after the fifth inning of the baseball game on the Jumbotron, he had a message posted, Sarah Lynn, will you marry me? Oh boy. That's risky. Was she in the bathroom? She looked at the Jumbotron, looked at him and said, I don't know. How do you I mean don't you know? I mean, Alan and I had a chat about we never were like, let's get married, but we were like, I think this is gonna work out. Right. We called it 2020. We were like, oh, in 2020, kind of like wink wink. Oh, okay. You know, yeah. But because it just it was 2004 or five and it seemed like a long time away. You kind of know, but also maybe she was like, Why did you propose to me on a jumbo tron? I thought I liked you, but now I'm not so sure. Could you imagine being in that crowd? I feel like in that moment you just have to say yes. Yes, correct. And then be like, all right, now that we're not in front of 30,000 people. Like psych. Yeah, like what are you doing? On second dot. Yeah. Who would you want to be proposed to on a jumbotron? I mean, if it was by someone I wanted to marry. No, not by Douglas.

unknown 3:24

No.

SPEAKER_01 3:26

By someone I knew Ryan.

SPEAKER_00 3:31

You know, keep your options.

SPEAKER_01 3:33

Oh boy, I'm a real catch at 45 with four kids and no job. Oh boy. No, if Ryan proposed to me on the Jumbotron Sunway, that would have been fine. I mean, it wasn't wouldn't offend my idea.

SPEAKER_02 3:47

Where did you guys get proposed?

SPEAKER_00 3:50

Where did we get proposed? He proposed me in his apartment. Oh, you did? Yeah. Did you know it was coming? No, not at all. So you were surprised. I was super surprised. That's great. Yeah, we went out for for dinner and we were very full. And he told me he forgot his test strips. He is a diabetic at his apartment. And I was like, good lord, man. Like, pull yourself together. Like you need these to survive. That kind of was like, ugh. So we had to go back to his apartment. And then he was like, oh, wait down here. I'll go get them. And then he texted me, actually, I have to go to the bathroom. It might be a while. Why don't you come up? And I was like, oh, we're also listening. And so, and I was really full. And I was like, I don't want to walk up like three floors of a walk-up. And I was like, So while he was up there though, he was like lighting candles and he had champagne. Did you say always down here? Oh no, you didn't. No, I was walking and I was like, he's like, I'll leave the door open. And I the doors, I was like, oh, never let me eat another burrito again. I'm so full. You said that. And then I opened the door and I was like, oh no. No, you were like, oh yes. Candles everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 5:03

And I was like, oh, that's what this is the premise of this. So I take it back.

SPEAKER_00 5:08

Maybe a jumbo tron would have been less weird. I was in like a turtleneck sweater and a pair of stripes, like very casual pants. Yeah. So I was not expecting it at all. You prepared me.

SPEAKER_01 5:24

You well, no, actually, I wasn't prepared. We went back to Memphis for a reunion for Ryan because he had done an internship with the Memphis Redbirds. So I thought we were going back for that. And it was the weekend of my sister's graduation from high school. And so I was like really torn about what I should go to. And he had, you know, my whole family knew. So they're like, just go to that. Go to the reunion. So I went and then he proposed to me at the top of the Peabody Hotel, which is one of our favorite hotels there. And I pulled the ring out of the box and he go, This is so cool. He was like, is this a yes?

SPEAKER_00 6:03

I was like, yeah, this ring is so cool. I forgot to answer. Oh well. I said, Are you sure? You did.

SPEAKER_02 6:14

It was like, you know, on one day when you marry me, I was like, Are you sure?

SPEAKER_00 6:18

I was like, yeah. He's like, Are you sure? I was like, okay.

SPEAKER_02 6:22

Okay. It's so strange. It is so strange.

SPEAKER_00 6:24

Like it's a lovely moment, but it is very And then I didn't want to call home because I didn't want to steal my sister's moment.

SPEAKER_01 6:31

But they all knew it was happening.

SPEAKER_00 6:33

Oh, so they were So they were concerned that they didn't hear from me. Oh. So it kind of backfired a little bit. Nothing goes according to plan.

Double Decker Airplane Seat Debate

SPEAKER_02 6:44

No. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00 6:46

I have a question for you.

SPEAKER_02 6:48

Sure.

SPEAKER_00 6:49

How would you feel about a double decker airplane seat? And you could get more leg room. Is there somebody under me then? Like a top row and a bottom row? Yeah. So it's it's hard to hard to describe. It would basically like if you were walking down the aisle of the airplane, every other row would be ground level, so to speak, like aisle level. And then the so the odd rows would be aisle level. And then the even rows, you would take two steps up to your seat. So they do raised. And so it they're all normal airplane seats. But then this way, the odd seats that are on the bottom, so to speak, don't recline, but the seats they slide out. So you could lay flat, but then I feel like you're gonna feel like you're kind of in an MRI. Like you're better off being on the top. Well, unless you want to stretch out. Unless you want to be totally flat. Yeah. I don't think I mean I don't know now.

SPEAKER_01 7:57

Have they is it created or is this just like a prototype?

Lottery Patience And The McMullet

SPEAKER_00 8:01

This company has made these seats and they're trying to sell them to airplanes. I wonder if you could fit more seats in this way, but I don't know. I don't know. I also, as somebody who's very sensitive to turbulence, would be worried that if you're on the upper level, it would be very bumpy. Or if you were on the bottom level. If you're on the bottom level, like not for the claustrophobic people. Yeah, I don't think I'm on board with this. And then would there be two, would the windows be like one up, one down, one up, one down, one up, one down? The bottom row would be good for sleeping if the windows were higher. The nice thing about this is if you were traveling, oh my god, if you were traveling with children, you were on the upper stairs. Like if you would your knights would just be falling out the whole time. But you wouldn't have to worry about your kid kicking anyone's seat back. It's like they tried to create a bunk bed. Yeah, it reminds me of the Lego movie when he's like, I have a triple decker couch, so we can all hang out and be buddies. Yeah, I'm not really into this. I don't know. I mean, I feel like I like that people are trying to figure out a problem. There's also a little light, so you feel like you're in a toaster. Oh gosh, don't you always dream of being inside a toaster? A toaster. I mean, I don't know. I think if I want more leg room, I'm just gonna go business or first class. Yeah. And the heck with this. Because they the company said they were like, you know, we did this in mine, we had this in mind for economy, but now that we're talking to airlines, they want to use it more for the premium seats, like the higher up seat ranges. Yeah, I don't think I'm on board. But you know what? If I won$43 million in the lottery like this guy from Texas did, what?

SPEAKER_01 9:56

Then, you know, maybe I just for kicks, give it a whirl. Wow. But here's the kicker on this.

SPEAKER_00 10:04

The couple hasn't missed a drawing in 30 years. What? So they religiously played the lottery. No way. For 30 years. And they finally won. And they finally won. Oh, I'm happy for that. So they said they're gonna do some traveling. I wonder how much money they've spent on. I've heard that too. Yeah. Like if they buy like$5 a day for what would that be? Can we get it?

SPEAKER_01 10:30

I think it's$2 a ticket.

SPEAKER_00 10:32

And I don't know. Did they just get one number?

SPEAKER_01 10:34

And I don't know how often the Powerball is.

SPEAKER_00 10:37

Or whatever. Oh, it's Powerball. Is it twice a week? I don't know. I can't figure that math out. Not today.

SPEAKER_01 10:43

It's only 43 mil sounds pretty good, right?

SPEAKER_00 10:46

Maybe they'll travel to New Zealand and try the mullet burger. That just looks messy. Yes. It looks like, oh shoot, they messed up our cheese. How should we use it? So, listeners, New Zealand, McDonald's in New Zealand has a mullet burger. And they say burger in the front, party out back, which just means you have a piece of floppy cheese.

SPEAKER_01 11:11

It just means your cheese is hanging loose.

SPEAKER_00 11:13

You have a cheese tail in the back. Yeah, a little cheese slide. Yeah. I guess it started, they're calling it the McMullet, and it started as a joke, and now it's real. I just don't know why you need that cheese in the back. And McDonald's was giving out free mullets to people. You should never mix hair care and hair and restaurants together. No. I mean, I guess it's a good marketing thing, but it does you definitely don't need a little bit. I think it'd be difficult to wrap at McDonald's, like using the wrapper. Maybe the cheese sticks out. Maybe there's like a little slit. Perhaps, perhaps. I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_01 11:57

Speaking of food, can we backtrack to our episode last week? Sure. Pop food and beverage-wise. Those tip tops. Oh, the tip tops. Were a delightful little treat in a can.

SPEAKER_00 12:10

And I am all for them. They were great. Did you happen to purchase them in any other flavors? I did not. Okay. But they have them in many options. A margarita is my favorite mixed drink and pretty much the only one I ever drink. Same. But I'm still thinking about them.

unknown 12:26

They were good.

SPEAKER_00 12:27

They were really strong. They were very strong. You definitely need like a tall cup of ice.

unknown 12:32

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 12:32

Be nice with like a fresh lime. Yeah. It was, I mean, as described, not too sweet. I wonder if you could even like stretch it by mixing it with like lime LaCroix or something. Oh, yes. Yeah. Use it as a mixer. That's a much better baby. Yeah. And safer. Yeah. Because they they pack a punch, those little guys. Those little guys. So. Well that's we should get some and try that. We'll try that next. Try that next. In the meantime, should we check in with our sponsor? Let's do it. Nora, have you heard about the Buick S-U V sale? S-U-V sale? I've heard of the S U V sale. Oh no, it's S-Y-O-U-V because they want you in an SUV.

SPEAKER_01 13:17

Well, one thing I do know is Buick makes an incredible SUV. Or as you say it. S U V.

SPEAKER_00 13:25

And right now there's fantastic deals at Mike Haggerty Buick GMC. Oh, would they have an SUV though that's going to fit my family of six? The Buick Enclave probably has just what you need.

Fish Theme Begins Plus Phish Opinions

SPEAKER_00 13:59

I sure will. I'll see you later. And now back to the show. Our topic today, fish. Not the band. Or I guess it could be the band. How do you feel about the band, Fish? I'm not really a fish head. Seems easy. I'm more old school hip-hop and country music. You know, I think my biggest beef with fish. P-H-I-S-H. Happy for them. I appreciate the people who are so devoted and will see them over and over again. My brother-in-law is one of them. Not a big fan of like the jam. The jam sash? The jam sash. If I go to a concert, I would like to hear the songs.

SPEAKER_01 14:40

I would like to sing the words and dance around. And yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:43

I'm not really looking to jam. Me neither.

SPEAKER_01 14:45

Like bringing when I was doing my show notes, I wrote down fish, and then I followed with eating fish, gone fishing, fish nets, fishtail hair, pet fish, and catfishing. Oh my gosh. There are so many places to go.

SPEAKER_00 15:02

Yes, because I did fishing, pets, aquariums, and then did your your kids ever watch the show Octonauts? Were they fish? I thought they were astronauts. No, they were underwater explorers. Yeah. So they I loved that show. You learned all about like ocean creatures. And at the end they would do the creature report. Yes, and I remember the creature report. A picture of what it looks like in real life.

Pet Fish Stories And Fish Travel

SPEAKER_01 15:29

Gosh, I really I guess my kids watched it. I didn't. I always had it on. Did you ever have a pet fish or do your kids have one?

SPEAKER_00 15:37

We did. When we lived in California, so I was probably like five and my sister was nine. We both got fish. Mine died in a week. Sorry for your loss. Thank you. My dad likes to tell the story. We fed my sister's fish like crumbs, like toast crumbs. Wait, you did? Well, I didn't. My parents did. Like they were made, they would like make toast or breakfast and then they would take the crumbs and just put them in the fish tank. And then I guess they started feeding it fish food and then it was not well. Yours or hers? I think mine died, and then hers was not well. So they I think they went back to toast. Hers survived for a really long time.

SPEAKER_01 16:17

I think yours was just gluten-free and nobody knew.

SPEAKER_00 16:20

Yes. And then they had we moved to Pittsburgh and they had to release it into the wild, into like a pond. Oh. Little fishy didn't call it. I think his name was Chicago. It did not make the move. Okay, so I had a fish in college named Robbie. Oh, named after I don't know. Hmm. I just looked like a Robbie. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 16:43

After Margot Robbie. And we taught it how to jump. What? Yes, you taught it.

SPEAKER_00 16:48

You taught us to jump. We used to put jelly bracelets in ours. And they would just swim through it, but they didn't jump.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

So it was a jumping fish. And then when it was time for spring break, while all my friends got to go cool places their sophomore year, I couldn't go. I didn't wait until I was a junior. I came home to the home and garden show downtown with my mom and my grandma. And I brought the fish home in a plastic cup, like a McDonald's cup with a lid, because you could bring liquid through security. And it survived the trip to Chicago. And then I took it on back.

SPEAKER_00 17:25

Yeah, Robbie was a beta fish and lived a good long life. We had a beta fish. It was Rory's. Its name was Silver Lightning Flash. And he we bought him when we were in Texas, but then we were driving home to Chicago for the summer to visit. And we're like, rah-ro, what do we do with silver lightning flash? So we took an like an almond.

SPEAKER_01 17:50

Wait, silver lining? Lightning. Oh, silver lightning.

unknown 17:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:54

Al had a big container from almonds and he drilled holes in the top and we filled it with water for silver lightning flash. And we rode in the car two days with silver lightning flash. See? Goldfish across state lines. It is possible. Yeah, they're they're they're travelers, man. They're travelers. And he lived a long time and then we moved to Chicago. He made the move with us. And then he started to kind of be like, and I googled big. Well, he wa we were overfeeding him. He had like bubble lung or something like that. It was like, don't feed him for three days. And then he slid like he was like off center. Like he was like, I don't know how else to describe it, but it's like but he was like not swimming right. So we didn't feed him for three days and then he he equalized. He equalized.

SPEAKER_01 18:41

We've had fish here too, and my kids have buried them out front.

SPEAKER_00 18:46

Yeah. Well, you brought fish to a theme party once. I did bring fish to a theme party as our centerpieces.

SPEAKER_01 18:52

Yes. Yes. And I sent people home with them and brought fish food.

SPEAKER_00 18:56

Yes for them. Yeah. Mm-hmm. And I think they lived for a really long time. We have a friend, and her husband was a guest of the show. Yeah. Who named her fish sushi. And sushi lived ages. Yeah. And got gigantic. Sushi was big.

SPEAKER_01 19:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:13

Well, I learned that people in China used to eat them. Goldfish. Mm-hmm. They were they put them in ponds to be like, okay, this is where we're gonna have our fish and breed our fish so we could eat them. But then they started figuring out that because goldfish started out silver because they're just carp. And then they were breeding the ones that were prettier colors. And how did they all turn yellow orange? So they just were like, they would look in the little pond and be like, oh, this one's orange-ish and this one's red, and they would separate them so that those would breed. Get out of here. So they would breed more and more red and gold fish. Hence goldfish.

SPEAKER_01 19:54

Was there were they called goldfish before?

SPEAKER_00 19:56

I think they would just smoke apart. But and then so they're like, oh, we want the goldfish. And then that's just kind of how it all happened. Did you look into goldfish crackers at all? I did not, you clever girl.

SPEAKER_01 20:07

Well, I was flabbergasted to find that they produce 50 million goldfish crackers each day in a little eat in a tiny town in Ohio. The town is only made up of 6,000 people.

SPEAKER_02 20:22

It's a lot of goldfish.

SPEAKER_01 20:23

The other thing is, my son just finished a month-long project on Ohio and that never came up.

SPEAKER_00 20:29

That would have been a fun fact. That would have been a great and he could have passed out goldfish. Yeah. The amount of goldfish that is eaten in my house is extraordinary. I agree with you on that. Same here. Because it's a it's an allergy-free snack, right? And it's on the safe snack list. The approved snack list. The approved snack list. I prefer the pretzel ones.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

I prefer the pretzel ones as well. I do also like the Parmesan ones.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

Never tried those.

SPEAKER_01 20:55

In the green, because they're kind of just like bland. Yeah. Um, but they were created in 1958 by a Swiss biscuit maker.

SPEAKER_02 21:01

Oh, Swiss biscuits.

SPEAKER_01 21:03

And he originally designed these for his wife as a birthday gift.

SPEAKER_03 21:07

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 21:08

She was a Pisces, and that's the Greek sign. Yes. And wasn't that an awesome gift? That is sweet. And then he sold it to Pepperidge Farm. Or did he make Petridge Farm?

SPEAKER_01 21:20

No, then this lady Margaret So-and-so from Pepperidge Farm. I think she was maybe the owner, the president, the something, traveled over to Switzerland and then was in discussion and communication with and brought them back over here.

SPEAKER_00 21:36

Goodness, that is fascinating. I know. So yeah, thank you, Mark. Yes. Maggie. I wonder if that had to do oh no, that was much later. What? In 1884 to 1894, if you lived in the Baltimore or Washington, DC area, you could write your congressman to give you a goldfish. They gave out twenty thousand goldfish to people.

SPEAKER_01 22:03

That was just me.

SPEAKER_00 22:05

And then in nineteen thirty-nine there was like a college craze that started in Harvard that people were swallowing goldfish.

SPEAKER_01 22:14

Ooh, no thank you. Ickies.

Fishing Memories And Cooking Fish

SPEAKER_00 22:17

I think it comes out like a full goldfish. Ooh. Barfola. Have you ever gone fishing? Went fishing once. In Florida when I was very young and caught a catfish. I caught a catfish once. Two Norris. Two Norris? We went when we lived in California, we went to some kind of like lake place. It was like a I don't remember it being very nice. I don't remember my mom being very pleased with the accommodations. But I remember Your mom doesn't strike me as a fisherman. But I don't I think one of the dads helped me put a hot, like a piece of hot dog. I think kind of a fishing hook. And I was just like sitting there by myself, and then I caught something and I pulled it out of the water. And then I was walk, I was like, No, what does a first grader do with a fish on a hook? And then I turned around and there was a cat behind me. And I was really like, What's gonna happen? Cats like fish. It's like happened. Like, I remember having this real like, is this cat gonna attack me for this fish? Like, what do I do? Did you feed it the cat the fish? And then I was just kind of like, help me. And when the dads came and just threw it back in the water. Oh, good for you. Nice work. But my aunt once, she was going on a date with somebody and she didn't really care for him and asked me to come on her date when I was like four or five years old to kind of Did you pretend you were her daughter? No, she's all my niece is in town. She's coming with us because she didn't want to be alone with this guy. And I also went fishing with him on his boat and my aunt on her date. Oh, that was a lovely date. And then actually on one of my Nanal's first dates, we went fishing. Oh gosh, here yeah. And I really haven't done it since. He I was visiting him in New York and he woke me up at 7:30 in his parents' house and was like, Do you want to go fishing with all my buddies? I was like, and you're like, I'm visiting. I was like, okay, she'll wear it. Yeah, that sounds fun. He's like, Can you be ready in 30 minutes? I was like, Who's gonna be there? He was like, it was seven of his friends, him and me. That you and you hadn't met these gentlemen. I've never met them before in my whole life. I had 30 minutes to get ready. And it was early in the morning, not really morning, Nora. And I was like, Okay, are we gonna get like something to eat? We got a bag of pretzels and a case of beer and got on this boat and we're on it for five hours. And you haven't been fishing since, dude, what has happened? I mean, it was hilarious. Like these guys were really funny. Not a lot. No. You?

And my kids eat a lot of fish. It's just it's healthy. And you know how to cook it? Yeah. I don't love to cook it in the house because it smells.

SPEAKER_02 25:16

So Ryan never smells like fish.

SPEAKER_01 25:19

It doesn't. I'm shocked that you eat this much fish. We have a couple great salmon recipes. Ryan will throw fish on the grill a lot.

SPEAKER_00 25:26

Wow. Ordered fish tacos. Yeah. Where do you get your fish from? Where do you catch it yourself?

SPEAKER_01 25:33

From the lake over there. From Casey's. Oh, actually, Trader Joe's actually has good salmon. It's pre-packaged, like barbecue ready salmon, and I marinated in a I think it's general tau sauce from Trader Joe's. Oh, okay. And then you can just put it right on a pan and cook it for 25 minutes at 400 and it's good to go.

SPEAKER_00 25:59

The whole table, the whole family like see Al doesn't like salmon, and neither do I. I don't love salmon, but it I'll eat it because it's healthy. I mean I'll go like it, but that and like a side of eggs just to really punish yourself.

SPEAKER_01 26:12

I've been eating them every day. Really? Cool. I told you we go through like a dozen eggs. Guest done. Guest done.

unknown 26:20

What?

SPEAKER_03 26:21

Oh.

Aquarium Preferences And Catfishing Reality

SPEAKER_00 26:22

I thought she was looking pretty jacked. It's swole. Wow. Do you like to go? Do you? Do you like to go to the shed aquarium? No. No? I love the aquarium. You do? You do. Yes. I love a museum. I don't love no. I love it because you're gonna see the stuff. I know that you're gonna be with all those people in the glass.

SPEAKER_01 26:49

It's like all fingerprinty. And if you go see the dolphin show, you get wet. And the whole time you're just thinking about what do you have for lunch?

SPEAKER_00 26:56

When was the last time you were at the dolphin show? SeaWorld. It's not SeaWorld. You're not gonna get wet, I promise. At the shed. It's delightful. It smells fishy. It does smell a little fishy, but I love the aquarium because sometimes I find the zoo to be disappointing because it's like, oh, they're sleeping. Oh, we can't see the animals. You're gonna see those fish. They have sea otters that are super cute, the beluga whales. And I think because I learned so much from octonuts, I recognize a lot of the fish. You do a creature report or report.

SPEAKER_01 27:32

Yeah, no, I find myself always thinking about where we're gonna go for lunch. Oh, on events like trips like that. Yeah. Then I get antsy, and then I just want to go to the gift shop.

SPEAKER_00 27:40

SPEAKER_00 28:05

Oh. Are they kind of fun with like kind of jazz up a dress? Yeah. Cute. I just would never think of them. I used fishnets in SpongeBob as a set decoration. Real fishnets. Like real fish. Well, like decorative fishnets. But not like that. Yeah, I didn't hang like tights stockings on the set. I always just kind of associate them with like Rocky Horror Picture Show. Eek. Or like Kin Can dancers. Yeah. But they're cute. I think they're really cute. Did you? I'm racing myself. It's not even that funny. I was just reading about catfishing. Oh, that's so sad. And it was Oh, the the why is it called that? I wonder.

SPEAKER_01 28:48

I don't know, but the definition was so funny because it was creating a fake identity to manipulate a topic. I was like, oh, but I think like online dating. Not that I am. But why would you catfish somebody?

SPEAKER_00 29:01

Because they're gonna meet you. They're gonna figure it out. Yeah. So like what gifts? There do you remember there was a Notre Dame player, Monte Tao, I think was his name. And it was like his girlfriend had cancer and was living in Hawaii, and he did like fundraisers for her and all this stuff, and it was like a big deal, probably like 10 years ago. Maybe even more. And he was being catfished. Turned out the girlfriend was not real. Wait, he was the catfisher? He was no, he got catfished. This person took advantage of him. It was kind of like, wait, the girlfriend's not real. He's a liar. And then it was like, no, he's not a liar. He just He's a sucker. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Dana Delaney, the actress, did a whole play. It was fascinating. She got catfished. This little In the play. She wrote a play on a real life experience where she was catfished. What happened? So she was contacted by what she thought was this little boy. And like just like, I'm a big fan of yours. And you know, through social media, and they started like emailing and this and that, and you know, learning about him, and she was she was gonna meet him, and then things would fall through. It turns out it was this older woman.

SPEAKER_01 30:25

Oh man. Yeah, catfish. I mean, you gotta be careful.

SPEAKER_00 30:29

Yeah. It was the play was really, really good. I wish I could remember what it was called, but it was very honest and very interesting. Well, I'm sure. Yeah. Because it probably came from a very emotional place. And she had like, you know, like the text messages and like all this kind of stuff. How did you even find out about the play like that? It was at the Goodman Theater. I get emails from them. Oh, there you go. I'd rather go see a play than a mus than a aquarium. Oh, okay. So keep that in mind. Okay. Next time you get away. Yeah, absolutely.
