you're listening to dumpster diving with janice jane hi, yeah, this is kind of weird.
Speaker 2:I don't know why we're doing an introduction right now, but you know we have because we're, because we realize that our planning process is gold and um, why would we keep that from our fans, right? And so we're going to do like a mini. This is us actually planning behind the scenes. So it's a little sneak peek behind the curtain, you guys, but honestly, half the time we're fucking laughing our asses off when we're doing this.
Speaker 1:We are.
Speaker 2:So we're like, why don't we just hit record? And maybe it's going to be a mini episode, but this is what we do right. And maybe it's going to be a mini episode, but this is what we do right. And maybe it's not. Maybe two hours from now, you'll be like pushing stop and say, for God's sakes, I can't listen to this, do this anymore. But this is how we come up with what we want to talk about, right, In the next couple of months, et cetera. And so how are you, sister? What's?
Speaker 1:up.
Speaker 2:Nice glasses. Wait, are you sister? What's up? Wait see last episode we all got to hear all about how you were basically blind and putting everybody in the world at risk because you were driving your car. But now you have nice new glasses I like them.
Speaker 1:Thank you, I can see much better now.
Speaker 2:Oh, thank God, so you can see, how much more gorgeous I am. Oh, my God, you look 20 years younger, don't I, though? Yeah, I know, I love that. I would have thought you were the younger sister, exactly, exactly. I get that. I get that all the time, constantly. Yeah, all the time.
Speaker 1:Well, I did have my followup with my doctor, so update. The issue with my left eye is I have the beginnings of a cataract.
Speaker 2:And then I also have. This is the funny one.
Speaker 1:I have a buildup of a stress induced buildup of fluid in my left eye and the only reason that this happened, the only reason this happened, is from stress. So they know it's a hundred percent because of stress.
Speaker 2:But you're like the least stressed person I know.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, that's what the eye doctor said. He goes. This is weird because you're like so laid back and chill. That's what the eye doctor said. He goes.
Speaker 2:This is weird because you're like so laid back and chill and I was like I have a very stressful job and life. I was like two things, two things. First off, my friend Rose had dinner with her last week. I swear to goodness gracious, she fucking has a black dot in her. I can't remember which eye it is. Same thing Stress induced some shit in her. How have we never heard about this crap before? We've never heard about this before. So she literally is like walking around with what looks like a black spot in her eye and basically it's only going to be stressed to reduce it. That that makes it kind of go away.
Speaker 1:That's what they said. So he goes. So he goes. You have the beginnings of it, he goes. If it gets worse, he goes, he goes. You have the beginnings of it, he goes. If it gets worse, he goes. I want you to literally like test your eye, cover your right eye and see what it looks like he goes. If it feels worse, he goes. I want you to come back. I'm saying I'm going to send you to a specialist. He goes.
Speaker 2:We'll write a prescription for a stress-free work environment and I'm like, oh my god, that would be fucking amazing right now that we can go into that now because we can't, but that would be fucking amazing, right, I thought we can go into that now Because we can't, but, yeah, it would be awesome if you brought it. I have this. If you're going to do that, I want to be there the day you walk in and give that to your people. I have this note for my doctor. I mean my mommy, I mean my doctor. I can't be stressed out anymore because my eye hurts. But here was the other thing. So I'm doing this LinkedIn video series, right, and it's with. It's basically like with thought leaders, so people who I meet, all kinds of realms. They say something really interesting and I say, come on and let's talk about it with my followers on LinkedIn, right.
Speaker 2:But I had my acupuncturist. Well, I've recorded, I have not posted her yet. Do an episode with me about stress. And here's the thing she said that made me go oh, my God, I'm such a dumbass. Of course, she said people attach stress to an emotion. Your body can feel stress even when you're happy. It's not a negative thing. So you can feel she's like. You can be at a job that you love and you are happy all day long and still have symptoms of stress and I was like and there you go, now you're walking, talking proof of it.
Speaker 1:No, seriously, because because, like the people that I work with, they're like I don't know where you get all this energy from and blah, blah, blah. And I'm like like this is my manic, you know. Like, are you kidding me? Seriously, like I'm like because I just need to get the out manic like this is now.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna go smoke weed. See you later. No, seriously like I can't.
Speaker 1:they're like we just thought you were happy, we didn't realize we were manic.
Speaker 2:No, I'm having a manic episode. I'm out of here. Wow, wow, that's fantastic. You know what?
Speaker 1:I mean Like no, because like you have to start taking care of yourself, girl, of course. No, I'm just kidding. No, I'll get like bouncing to 10 different places and then you lose track of it. I'm like, do I have ADD? Like this is crazy. It's like 10 unknown things to slow down, but it's my body's natural reaction to stress is to like, did you go and be a trauma nurse, you know? So it's like I need to stop doing that. I need to stop doing a lot of things, but I've gotten better and I'm getting really good at delegation and and just being really firm about the time that I leave work. I like, if I leave 30 minutes later, I spent another hour in traffic and and that's stressful, you know.
Speaker 2:So yeah, so while you're talking, I'm writing down. I wrote down in terms of our kind of brain dump from this conversation. I wrote down stress and actually it'd be kind of. It might be actually kind of interesting to have Michelle, my acupuncturist, come on with us and do my little LinkedIn videos are like 14 minutes long, right, but that could be kind of interesting and when it comes out I will prompt you to look at it because she does actually give some really great. I said listen, you know, telling them what it is is great, telling them that they can come to acupuncture, that's great. But what can people do like in their real time, real lives, right, like in the? And she was giving me like all kinds of like. She was talking about tapping, which I've seen a lot on social media, but I don't understand she. She was talking about like you know, if you feel the beginnings of a headache, you can put the tip of your tongue right at the top of your mouth and press and like all kinds of little, like really practical in the moment. You feel ridiculous doing them, but you can actually do. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, so we'll have her come on.
Speaker 2:And I wrote down multitasking too, because I did it like a couple of years ago on social media. I did a couple of little like reels and stuff about this, this idea that, like, multitasking is actually not possible. Right, your brain can't literally do two things at one time, even if the, if the switch between is so small, you can't tell it. Right, your brain is switching between tasks. It's never actually doing two things at the same time and because of that, oftentimes when we think we're multitasking for efficiency, we're actually not more efficient. Right, like it'd be more efficient just to do the thing. So that's another one that we can come back to, because that might be something really interesting if we came up with some specific strategies and stuff for people to think about.
Speaker 1:I think that I'll push back on the multitasking thing, because I've been in a couple of different job positions where you literally are doing three different things at one time you know, no, okay, your brain, but you are literally doing three things you know that's where people will argue with you. But if it's, you know the scientific aspect of your brain and clicking back and forth, that's a totally different story. But I've watched it happen and I've done it multiple times.
Speaker 2:No, no, no. And I used to pride myself as a, as a school principal, especially right. I used to pride myself literally and be like I can be responding to an email, talking on the phone and talking to somebody standing in front of me at the same time, but the actual behind it is that you can be doing all three of those things simultaneously, but your brain is actually switching between them.
Speaker 1:Right, you're not giving full effort to each one, exactly, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2:So you're splitting circuits, for sure, you know what If we talk about it and people push back in comments? That's people pushing back in comments, so bring it Exactly, exactly, rose, talk some shit to us.
Speaker 2:Bring it All right. I know, come on, rose, let's go. Actually she had a really good. I'll share this, since we're going to post this as a behind the scenes sneak peek. She'll appreciate the full circle of it, but they had a great. I think their daughter is still trying to decide where she's going to go to school, but they had a great culminating moment a few weeks ago Because during spring break she and her daughter were going to fly east because she got into a couple of East Coast schools and they were going to go see them.
Speaker 2:And for those of you who don't or didn't hear that episode, go back and listen to the episode with Rose talking about her daughter and the whole college process and the parenting and things that came with that.
Speaker 2:But they had this great moment because they were supposed to like they were literally at in LA having lunch with the family before they went to the airport to get on the plane and her husband, steve, could tell their daughter was kind of like not feeling it and he's like what's up, like you don't even seem excited about this, and she finally like just kind of broke not broke down as in like crying, but just kind of broke down as in like I don't think I want to go, like I'm realizing I don't want to have to get on an airplane to go to college and every time I come home have to get on an airplane to come home. And it was such a great moment because they were they're fortunate, they have the, they know how to do it, they know how to navigate travel. They travel a lot. So it was like fine, then we won't go, can we do that? And they're like of course we'll get a credit for our flight, we'll cancel the hotel, go somewhere else, let's go.
Speaker 2:You don't want to go. Exactly. They're like you don't want to go. A freaking men, we won't spend all that money and take you out there. And so it was another great like moment for them in realizing like we have to create space for her to be able to say it out loud. And she did so.
Speaker 1:That was really cool awesome, I know awesome, I love that.
Speaker 2:So you were also telling me, you had some great day story or something like that. What was that yesterday, yesterday?
Speaker 1:Well, you know that yesterday was 420.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, that's right For those of us who don't usually partake it. Yeah, nothing yeah.
Speaker 1:Don't care, you know whatever, it's just another day. No Well, I'm sorry, this is like the super bowl of all pot smoking.
Speaker 2:I wish I'd known I should have sent you a card or something.
Speaker 1:I don't I how do I, how do?
Speaker 2:I how do I support?
Speaker 1:you know that I love the weed you could have just sent me.
Speaker 2:You know I should have sent you flowers and then laughed when you were like I can't fucking smoke this, I'll dry that shit.
Speaker 1:I'll smoke potpourri. I don't give a fuck. Oh my God.
Speaker 2:She's out of control Now she's just out of control.
Speaker 1:I am out of control, but no, what I can do but the flowers is press them. I'm in this thing with pressing some firm, I'm going to try. So yesterday at the campus that I work at we had a four, 20 sesh. So it was from five, 11 PM and they opened up the whole campus and there was weed, smoking galore and there was vendors and food and stuff like that. Holy moly there was. There was like four different types of music going on. It was just super cool. And then the coolest part about it was that everybody was just high as fuck. Let me just say that inside the buildings.
Speaker 1:It was just smoke. They were hot box. You didn't have to smoke directly to get high in that building Like there. There was no getting out of it. Um, they didn't serve alcohol, so it was so. There was not one fight, not one. Everybody was just super chill and they were getting their food. Everybody was hungry, you know? I mean, it was so fun.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1:It was crazy and I got to meet an Instagram famous um weed smoking witch and I was so happy I got pictures with her. So she's um on on Instagram, she's at a good witch official and um, so she's this um mature woman who is a witch, you know and but she smokes weed and she's really funny and she does a bunch of videos on Tik TOK and stuff like that and I saw her, I'm like, I follow you.
Speaker 1:And she was like I love you so much. She was like I love you. She's like, look, I was wearing a cute little like black, like skater dress kind of thing, but it was foreign fit, but my tattoos were showing and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, like a little fan girl moment and then, um, we took a picture, a couple pictures, and but it was fun. Yeah, it was a lot of fun, but they had okay.
Speaker 1:First off, I'm just gonna say people, this is a public service announcement. I know this is like an inventory, but here's the public service announcement. Covid's still real. Can we just agree that? Well, let's just, you know, x out, covid. Germs are still real, viruses, any germs really. I mean there's germs you can catch from a water fountain, you know, you know whatever. But there was somebody that had a two pound monstrous like I don't know how they had it put together, but it looked like a clay pot but it was all weed, it was just like together and they were smoking this thing and it looked like an exhaust pipe and they were smoking this and they were handing it from one person to the next, to the next. I mean, that thing must've hit a hundred mouths before it was offered to me and I was like no, no, no, the only thing I'm going to leave here with is a high. That's it Okay. I do not want to leave with gonohorpecyphalates. What I do, I don't, I don't. You know that actually reminds.
Speaker 2:That's disgusting. First off, btw, now I know why all the highway signs yesterday, now that I think about it, said drive high, dui. Yeah, there we go. But you're reminding me, literally the only time I ever had had the opportunity I guess when I was younger to smoke pot was when I was in college in Virginia. Of course it was illegal and I remember being at like in somebody's dorm room right and like I don't know, probably 10 of us sitting around, um, and somebody started passing around, um, you know a blunt or whatever. Yeah, exactly, and uh, and by the time it got to me it was gone, like literally. That's because if I think that if it hadn't been in that moment I would have a hundred percent tried it, but it was gone and that was it. That's the only time I've ever. And of course you know I have family members like yourself who, yeah, and of course now I don't even think about it I'm like, oh, like you know, just it doesn't.
Speaker 2:I don't have this urge or whatever, but anyway, the whole passing it around, that was back way before all the you know. Back then we could have gotten germs too, obviously.
Speaker 1:But yeah, way before now. But like the idea of like somebody passing it around to the oh, I wanted to throw up. I was just like absolutely not, but I did get a picture of the girls smoking out of it and then immediately she passes it to like four other people. I'm like I can't, I can't, no, no, no, they had this other thing so. So they had all these weed benders and I mean they were just giving away. They're like here you want, you want to pre-roll, here you go, but I got to light it. So people were just smoking and smoking and smoking weed three rolls and stuff and they had like they. They were like they call them bud tenders instead of bartenders or bud tenders, but they had little bow ties on and like little like vests.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, it was so cool, it was so freaking cool. It reminded me of like a Cuban cigar roller, you know. It was just so cool. So they went all out and all these vendors where they're giving away their stuff, I mean I left with a VIP bag with just tons of rolling paper and stuff, half the stuff I don't even use. So I was like, okay, cool, whatever. But one brand was there and they had I'll have to send you the pictures, we'll have to attach them to the episode or something, but it was, and there was a video too where it was. It was, I mean, this thing was. It was a big joint, let's say, but it was as round as a telephone pole.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:It was like five feet long and it was burning and it was on this like cart, and then they would take a vacuum and like create an air source in it so it'd bellow out smoke and then you suck the smoke out the end. Oh my god, that's, that's insane. Oh my god saying I'm like this this is a whole new level of the world.
Speaker 2:I don don't Right, so it's like I'm like holy crap, I had no idea these things existed.
Speaker 1:I had no idea either. And, of course, kyle we've all met Kyle, you know, and if you haven't listened to his episode, you should. He's, this is a lot of fun. I was sending him I sh, I called him and he was like you've got to be fucking kidding me right now. Oh yeah, and then I sent him the videos. He was like what in the world? He goes. I go look, this is a holiday you need to come to California for okay.
Speaker 1:Come to four 20. He's like I am there, it was so much fun and everybody was super chill. It was. It was like one of the most fun cool vibes was just chill, you know so so that was, that's my fun but, um, but apparently everybody that I told that I have a, a cataract. Now they're like oh, smoke weed because I don't know something. So I'm going to do that research because you definitely need to do that research well, and I was.
Speaker 2:I mean, remember I got new eyes last fall and that was all because I had a cataract that they spotted about five years ago. That finally got to the point that they needed to fix it. And and and so for you, especially because you're younger than I am. But they, they were shocked that somebody my age needed a cataract fixed. Like it's very unusual, right, it's usually something that people are 20 years older than us. So, um, yeah, maybe it's a hereditary thing or something.
Speaker 1:But also, you know, living in arizona, living in arizona with the sun oh true that, and it's just my left eye and I'm thinking, I spend a lot of time in the car. I've always had a ton, ton of commuting and I bet you it's the sun coming in over here, or something like that. You know, yeah, but um, but yeah, at the very beginning stages he's like oh yeah, I see it, he goes. That that's definitely the reason why you're like not seeing stuff, you know. So it was interesting.
Speaker 2:I was like okay, crazy yeah falling apart, girl falling apart, so what else? So okay, the other thing I wanted to bring up is I mentioned this to you before, but I finally started listening to that book. Remember, I told you I heard on the podcast the sex therapist. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and she was just somebody else's podcast, obviously, somebody's podcast who's a smidge bigger than ours, just barely, I'm not gonna mention them because we don't want you to listen to them yet.
Speaker 2:That's right. That's right you can go listen to them. Armchair Experts is amazing, everybody knows that. But he had Dax, had Vanessa Marin on and she's a sex therapist and so she had a book that was coming out and so I, we I mentioned it back then when I heard the episode, cause the episode was fantastic, she was really fantastic, and so I've listened to the book.
Speaker 2:I'm probably half of the way through, maybe a little bit more, but what's really cool about it is it really is about you know whether you're starting a new relationship, whether you're 30 years into a relationship, whatever it is like really being able to communicate right about all facets of your of your life. And certainly, obviously, the research shows that most couples, many couples, whatever you want to call it don't talk about sex, right, like they have all varying amounts of sex, right, but actually talking about it right. And obviously it's an important that physical part of a relationship is a really important part of a relationship. And so she just does a really cool job because each chapter is like her talking and putting forth ideas, but her husband, who kind of works alongside her, then also shares kind of like the other side right, the other partner's qualms, and he definitely focuses on the male experience sometimes because he's you know, he's focused on, like, the emotions he's feeling and the kind of ego he has to put aside and all the things Right. But what's cool about it that I will say is that I'm a big believer in that idea, right, that the physical side of relationship is a really important part of it, and I really value the fact that she's basically saying listen, like if you're in it for the, for the long term, right, then this has to be. You have to be able to talk about this, just like you have to be able to talk about money.
Speaker 2:Couples also struggle with that, right, you have to be able to talk about all the things, so, anyway. So I know we talked about it, but grab the audible because I think that we both read it. There's going to be a few things that would be really like we could do a really great episode on that. I think that a few things that we could really offer our listeners as starting points to kind of think about it for themselves. I just feel like it really hits home, especially, again, it's targeted for people of all ages, but especially for us where we are in life. You know what I mean Relationships that we've had and and or RN or what have you. I just think that a lot of people out there probably women, especially because we know that's kind of our target audience We'll really be able to relate to that, so yeah, I like that, I like that.
Speaker 1:And especially, I mean you're in, you know, 10 years of being married now. Yeah, yeah, no, um, with Joe and I'm fresh back into the dating world, you know, being last year, and, um, it's interesting, it's definitely interesting, you know, um, I definitely um, yeah, it's interesting. I have stories already. It's crazy, yeah, it's just, it's just funny.
Speaker 1:People are funny, you know, and um, uh, the effort that goes, that goes into getting to know somebody and assuming things, and you know, I have a friend that I'm talking to and and it's not, you know, romantic, I mean, could it be, maybe, you know, but we're just getting to know each other. And but already, like I, you know, today we were talking and I'm just like you know, but we're just getting to know each other and um, but already, like I, you know, today we were talking and I'm just like you know. So, so, just because of that one moment, you're judging everything else based off of just that, hmm, interesting. And she's like, well, I mean, you just said what you said and blah, blah, blah, and I said, but but it was a hypothetical question that you, it was, you were, you were baiting me, I said, and you asked me the question and I answered it. How? How? You didn't want me to answer it and then you're holding that over my head.
Speaker 1:Ah interesting, I go, that, I go, that's I go, I'm, I'm not about that, right? How is that fair? Yep, and and and. I said, but also, I don't know if you're a hundred percent serious, because then you just laugh it off. So are you being serious and is that how you truly feel, or are you just giving me a hard time, to give me a hard time, and that I don't appreciate, right, it's frustrating. Yeah, you know, and and and. She was like, oh, like, okay, she's like, well, it just is what it is right now. I said you can say that, but there's more, and I'm not going to keep doing this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Even if we are just friends or whatever, like I don't want to have a relationship like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that's a good way to put it too. Right, because, as much as this particular book that I'm talking about is specific to romantic relationships, there's she says this many times there's so much about this that it's for any relationship right, right, um, you know, because relationships are really just superficial, right, unless you can talk about the hard stuff. And so, yeah, and that's hard, for I'll speak for myself, but I wager a guess for you too. Right, because, you know, based on the experiences I've had in life, sure, I'm, you know, I'm gonna keep stuff close to close, right and and only share it right, like, um, I mean, I've only been sharing the childhood trauma since roe v wade was overturned, because that was the catalyst that made me say, fuck this. I gotta say this out loud to like the world.
Speaker 1:Right, right, right. Like a handful of people, I could count on one hand the number of people who knew that about me and about my story. So, yeah, it's not really being vulnerable, but it's creating awareness around something that happens to more than just you know, and but even that, you know, is is it's hard to do, you know, and to find that determination.
Speaker 2:So I'm glad that we've found that. You know that one's getting really heavy and I and I I think it might be one where we'd want to invite somebody in but, like this idea of like. So I've constantly got parenting in my head, Of course. So the idea of like, you know, when your child is experiencing trauma that you don't know about what, like how do you look for the signs, right, and so, obviously, with our stories, specifically, you could be saying you know sexual abuse or rape or what have you? Right, there's all kinds of trauma and there's all kinds of stuff that can happen to kids and somebody in their life is saying keep it a secret, don't tell anybody. So, as a parent, right, like what are the signs? So let's both be thinking about somebody we know that we might bring into the conversation to like I'm thinking about a counselor or therapist or you know somebody like that, so that it's, it's our experience, our real life experience, yes, but also somebody who has a clinical background.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, I don't even know if if we need to have a clinical background to start the conversation, because both you and I are mandated reporters and we're totally no, absolutely 100.
Speaker 2:But I'm thinking about like to coach parents in how to, how to, how to like the things, to look for, the signs, to look for right that your child might. Yeah, that's why I'm saying it might help to have a counselor or somebody else yeah yeah, but, yeah, you're right, I mean other than that.
Speaker 2:And the other thing, while I'm on the parenting piece is I definitely want us to have a conversation at some point that we record, about how to be the step parent. Right, I have lots of people in my life who are going into relationships now where they're going to be the step parent and, obviously, having lived that life Right, having lived that life right, I just think that we have a lot to offer in terms of how to navigate that successfully. So, yeah, that's the stepmoms is what I wrote down on our notes, right, but it's period, but stepmom is what I wrote down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, we can definitely do one on that. We could do several on that, because there's so many things. I mean just my experience alone. You know, I've been in multiple relationships where the other person has children, and to the point where two of my marriages I had seven children all at once.
Speaker 1:You know, combined and and that's um, whoo, yeah, I mean, one one was like a totally absent father, like I, just it was like I, you, you married me for convenience, oh, okay, got it. And the other one was this is mine, that's yours, don't do this. They get the priority. They're my children, my house, my this, and it was. Both were torture, you know, because it was like no support either way. Absolutely times I felt like a single mom, you know, of more than just my children, you know. So, yeah, it's, it's a lot, and um, I'm not saying that I did a perfect job, you know, by any, means.
Speaker 1:I'm sure that you know there was things that I did that that they didn't like too, but it was um, yeah, yeah. We A lot of. We had a lot of failures and a lot of lessons to learn, that's for sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like that. That might even be um kind of one to put up to the top of the list while we're looking for somebody to help us with the conversation around trauma, and then we have a few other things on that list too. All right, we got a decent list, yeah.
Speaker 1:All right, we got a decent list. Yeah, I'm good, I'm good, you good, yeah, yeah, I like it, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then we have a couple guests coming on possibly, and oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, my God, I'm so glad you said that, yeah, because part of what we were talking about.
Speaker 2:Well, like I, we talked.
Speaker 2:You know, the conversation gets kind of heavy sometimes because we've talked on and off over the last five months or so, four months or so, about what's happening in Israel and Palestine and, you know, have kind of both agreed like we feel, like we know just enough to be dangerous, maybe not even but also feel like we probably represent a big percentage of the American population in terms of like, feeling like we don't know enough to actually engage in a conversation around it.
Speaker 2:And now, of course, with the escalation this week and everybody's throwing bombs at each other and it's so perilously close to, um, you know, turning into something even more horrific than that, than what is already happening. So, yeah, you've got I think we talked about is, you've got a colleague, friend, who, um, has a really deep knowledge base on that front, so might be able to come on and help us from the perspective of like, we're not a political show, we're not a, you know, news show, but we are average Americans who need to be well-informed. We have an election coming up in November and, honestly, what's happening in that part of the world has to be a factor, in my opinion, in that election, and so educating ourselves is a part of our responsibility, right?
Speaker 1:So yeah, exactly I like that, I like that a lot and and, uh, you know, and then we have some childhood friends of you know, childhood friend of mine that's, I think, the the longest, my longest standing friend of my whole life. And you know we have a fun story about how we've been disconnected and reconnected and disconnected, reconnected. So, it's a lot of fun and, um, yeah, and she's, she's going to be a part of our my little business venture and all kinds of fun stuff.
Speaker 2:So it's going to be. I love that, and when we talked about it it was under the auspices of like. You know, we all have those stories where we look back and we're like we should be dead, like we're the fuck were our parents.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, where were our parents? Yes, saying that. Yes, there's a story that she's going to tell. I already know, and it has to do with her and I having this date for Valentine's Day and how we got bras from them. They gave us bras and we were like 12. I, I, I'm like, where were our parents?
Speaker 2:That's the title of that episode. Where the fuck it's not going to be where. Where it's going to be when were our parents.
Speaker 1:My mom dropped us off there. I swear Like we I was, we were just cracking up and and it's like I, some of these stories that she tells, I don't remember. She's like you don't remember.
Speaker 2:That she tells I don't remember, she's like you don't remember that I'm like I do well, because our brains protect us. Our brains protect us by blocking out. Well, apparently it's like you can't handle that.
Speaker 1:We're just not going to remember that well, I was like she was like the, the teacher's child. Both of her parents were teachers, right, and and she had an older sister, jenny, and you know, jenny and lindsey and and she was just like so super smart, perfect, you know, and all these things and um, and then I was like this fucking ragamuffin kid, you know, like I love it. But I loved her for all of her reasons. She loved me for all the reasons, you know, and we were the we're we still are the best of friends, you know, and so, but it was like I felt like I was the bad influence on her, like I was the bad kid, you know, because I smoked cigarettes. And yeah, I was.
Speaker 1:I was the bad kid, you know, and I came from a family with the crazy mom, you know, like everybody knew this shit. So, but family with the crazy mom, you know, like everybody knew this shit. So but she, I would protect her. I didn't realize I would protect her and she was like, yeah, you wouldn't let me do certain things, because you were like, no, you can't, you can't do this. Hilarious. Oh my god, I now I remember that. Oh my god, that's hilarious so I was the best.
Speaker 2:Don't give any more away. Don't give any more away. So where the fuck were our parents?
Speaker 2:that's going to be the end of that, we're excited, um, so we'll just figure out kind of in what order. But I know part of it's going to hinge on like when, when your folks can come on with us. All right, that's it, that's enough. Okay, that's all people get to see, no more behind the scenes. That's all you get. But now you get a little bit like how we come about some of the things, and and obviously you guys, we've said this many times, but if there's a particular story you want to tell or something that you want us to talk about, make sure you message us, because we want to hear all about it. Yeah.
