Marketing & Mayhem
Two gals talking marketing, life, and all the mayhem in between.
Marketing & Mayhem
Kidney Stones, Toilet Paper & Being In Our Glitter Era
Welcome to the mayhem. Raebecca is back and we kickoff with a laugh-out-loud story about dog accidents and slipper-washing habits quickly evolves into a wide-ranging exploration of shared obsessions, embarrassing moments, and personal quirks that will make you feel seen.
The fashion talk gets real as we profess our unwavering loyalty to American Eagle jeans and debate the merits of the trending "New England summer" aesthetic that's suddenly dominating social media algorithms. But this isn't just surface-level chatter – we're diving into the psychology behind our choices, from why some of us buy duplicates of everything we love to the weird sensory issues that determine our comfort levels with jewelry and clothing.
Things take a dramatic turn when Jenny recounts her recent kidney stone experience that occurred mid-flight, complete with EMS trucks, hospital bathrooms shared with prisoners, and a complete abandonment of dignity. The story is told with such brutal honesty and self-deprecating humor that you'll find yourself simultaneously cringing and laughing out loud.
Our germaphobia tendencies, toilet paper preferences, and getting-ready routines might seem mundane, but they reveal deeper truths about control, sensory processing, and the little things that make us uniquely human. We even explore the trending ice bath facial technique that's supposedly life-changing for both appearance and anxiety management.
Join us for this unvarnished look at friendship, adulthood, and the messy moments that connect us all. Whether you're Team Toilet Paper, Team Never Wash Your Down Comforter, or Team Throw Away The Entire Outfit After An Accident, you'll find your people here.

Good morning, morning. I just had to rip the slipper out of her mouth. The one she pooped on. No, well, probably I don't even know, because I have two. So I do this thing where if I like something, I buy two. Huh, always Like, almost always Like. If I have a pair of jeans I love right now, I have a second pair already. So, like I have two pairs of the slippers that I wear and I wash them in the machine fairly often because I'm a freak about shoes do you wash them?
Speaker 1:because I have the same ones that you have and I didn't know you could wash them. I was just gonna order a new pair.
Speaker 2:No, I wash them. So I I originally did order a new pair when I knew I was going to take the risk to wash them. I wash them so often. It's not even funny, but are they?
Speaker 1:that shoe that you like wash and it's never the same again no, it still has a tread on it and everything like.
Speaker 2:Okay, it just get like gnarly. I've put them in the dryer now because of the because somebody hershey squirted on my right foot in the middle of it was not me, folks, it was not no it was the dog I just got in the middle of these days don't put it past me.
Speaker 1:It was in the middle of the absolute mayhem and I definitely caught a side squirt and uh, we haven't had many poop accidents around here, but you know, tiny's on heartworm, this is so hard, thank God. So he's on this medicine, becca. He is peeing everywhere Like massive oh poop. I guess it's like some medicine that makes them pee a lot. That's annoying, and he peed on that rug that I had talked about on here. We squirted it off with the hose, it was fine, but y'all the amount of pee that this dog is producing, what it's like, it's excessive.
Speaker 2:I can't even.
Speaker 2:Yeah so what is what is going on? I brought the full ugly today. I am just right, I don't have anything on. I like, literally, the dog has a squishmallow right now, for god knows what reason. Oh, mike, we um also yesterday, when we went to harris teeter to get our newest prescription, they had those, you know, like the old school cages with the balls, like the rubber balls that are like four dollars or five dollars, like cheap, shitty balls to play. Within the office I found one that had donuts all over it. She's like let's get it. I was like we can get it if it's for the dog. The dog had the best four minutes of her life and then she, then she popped her ball of.
Speaker 2:Of course, yeah, um and is here right now with this.
Speaker 1:Nate fun fact about my husband when he goes to get tattoos like when he had his back done, he took Clark one of Clark's squishmallows so he could like squeeze it.
Speaker 2:Oh, they're so squeezable. Though they're so squishy, I could see wanting to lay across it too, cause you do have to be like really uncomfortable yeah, and that's why I took it to like yeah, squeeze it and lay across and lay in some weird positions for some of those yeah, because you know it's like his whole back yeah, and like sometimes I even wonder about like the chest ones and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Like, especially when you see them on like girls, I'm like what kind of weird position? Or like a side tattoo. You have to sit in a really weird position to do that yeah otherwise you get like all your wrinkles and life in it too. So it's like a weird strategic thing so that your body looks normally.
Speaker 1:Make sure it's smooth. Speaking, I gotta take my bra off. I'm sorry it's pinching me right now and I'm not loving that you got to get that airy bra.
Speaker 2:I talked about.
Speaker 1:I know I need to. I've got some stuff actually sitting by my door to take to American Eagle. I need to take some jeans back to get a smaller size. Which, hello, I know A kidney diet man, Good Lord.
Speaker 2:I love American Eagle jeans, though what?
Speaker 1:ones did you get? I mean, I don't even know which ones I have, but it was this one that I told you that I loved. It's the High Rise Jegan. Oh yeah, I love it With all the holes.
Speaker 2:I love the holes. I have the holes in my two favorite pairs.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you, all of my jeans are American. I think I have one pair of jeans. That's a lot. I have one pair of jeans that's like that what are they called? Like you're not your mother, or spank your mom, or whatever the hell they're called. They are something like that, though, I have those.
Speaker 2:And then I have like Express jeans because I have a really good like boot cut that looks really good with heels. But other than that, I love express denim. I love the loft denim is really good. But I am in a full-on love affair with the american eagle denim I know I'm, and their shorts they're like cutoffs are just as good.
Speaker 1:Okay, I haven't done that yet. Yeah, they're really like all of my like jorts, which I live in during the summer that and running shorts, they're amazing. That's what I wore to the rodeo.
Speaker 2:Okay, they're good. I think my pair is like some kind of relaxed, like super high rise fit. They're not like boot cup but they are a little bit like more not skinny, which is like outside of my norm. Know, I love a skinny jean. I'm like people, I'm a big fan. But this specific pair I've been like I wore them yesterday to the grocery store which is really not my norm at all to just put on like a tank top and jeans. But they're just like more relaxed, my favorite look. They're like my sunday morning, like kind of jeans, like they have like a chill, relaxed, almost like a. Are you seeing this trend? That's like a new england summer, who know? Oh, I keep getting it on my thing. That's like this and the new england summer and it'll be like a lobster roll and it's like or it'll be like adirondack chairs, like with all the gardenias, or it'll be like all the ship or the like uh all kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and like the, it's not cedar plank, it's whatever that siding is. That's like a washed out kind of grayish that you see in all the new england homes oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2:I wanted to do our pool house in it, yeah yes, exactly, I was like whatever that's called, so it it's like kind of like that. What's that murder show? God, I'm like butchering this right now, but it's like the most recent one that came out that has the fun like abba style theme song and it's like a murder mystery just like a quick series. It's only like six episodes oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I wish you could remember what it is, because I love a good murder show.
Speaker 2:Dang it, it'll come up, it'll come to me, but it's like it very much has like all those themes Like where the Hold on? How am I going to ask ChatGPT this?
Speaker 1:Was it the perfect couple? Yes, look at us. We got this. We don't need ChatGPT.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's like all those kind of like the views, like that kind of vibe is like this, and then I don't know why I'm getting targeted for this.
Speaker 1:See, my whole algorithm right now is like dogs and fishing. I have no idea, but Clark and I are so into it.
Speaker 2:The fishing I get a lot of boxers. I almost bought a new bed for the dog last night.
Speaker 1:We actually just got tiny a new bed because he peed on his other one and we got it at costco becca. You should see this thing. It is like it is four, well, three and a half, three and a half feet wide and you know, tiny so little. So we like call it mega bed because it's like so little.
Speaker 2:I wanted to get one of the burry ones. Have you ever seen the ones with like the thing that they can like go under? Oh no, oh my god. So that's what I got targeted for.
Speaker 1:It's like like a ledge because they like to put their little head on the edge and like she's like go she goes under the blankets.
Speaker 2:Oh she's. She's very snuggly, like she wants to be like in the bed. I'm gonna send you like a picture of one of the ones that I looked at on Amazon Cause, of course, now I won't buy it from Instagram, cause I'm like freaked out but it's like yeah, you'll ingest your tanning drops.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's cute.
Speaker 2:Half like snuggly tent beds and I'm like, but the thing kept showing me boxers, of course, because algorithm inside of them, and so I was like so we actually might be super into this.
Speaker 1:I don't I don't know. Let me send you a picture of that. Well, you probably let me.
Speaker 2:You can't really notice the size of it wore herself out with this damn squishmallow.
Speaker 1:Look at her right now I'm gonna send you a picture. Tiny tiny is literally in the same position. You know everybody's exhausted god darn, I mean even the dogs even the dogs, this one.
Speaker 2:My water bill is gonna be so insane from this like amount of washing I don't all see. They're just tired. They're tired. That looks like orthopedic it's.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you this, but it's. But it's like their last bed was like the fluffy stuff. You know, like the. This is stuffed animals, but this one's like beans, you know, like the beads.
Speaker 2:She has one. Hers is like the waffly mattress, it's like an orthopedic thing, but she doesn't use it. It's literally where I throw her toys when I'm cleaning up. Use it. It's literally where I throw her toys when I'm cleaning up, if it's not in the toy room, which is now what the porch has become with a camera.
Speaker 1:I love that.
Speaker 2:It tripped me out when I saw that you put a camera out there oh, I had two cameras in here and one was actually in my room and obviously, like I you know you can put the cover over that, so like normally the covers just don't rip. But the other day she ripped it off the wall for whatever godforsaken reason, so it has like gnaw marks on it and I was like why did you do that? But the court is kind of by the bed that I have in my room and I can't like I haven't fully chair trained her like how to stay in the chair. That's like what I would really prefer. Like I want to wake up alone, but I want to be able to see you.
Speaker 2:Um, she hasn't like gotten into the full vibe of that, probably because she wasn't allowed to, because this was on there, yeah, but then she keeps jacking around on that damn porch. We, when we were at harris teeter, there's beautiful trellis flowers and I was like, oh, we should get these and pilots like you could, but don't fall in love with it she's not wrong.
Speaker 1:She's not wrong.
Speaker 2:They have the best plants at costco right now um, I've been waiting for the palms to come back, but I'm like so proud of their little outdoor garden center becca and I ran into each other the other day at costco and we almost ended up with a water slide together, had nate not been with me I probably would have bought it. My only concern was the weight limit, because I wouldn't be able to get on it.
Speaker 1:Same. I know they don't put enough weight on those things. Me and Clark talk about this all the time. It's like what is a water slide for adults? Yes, and they make them, but they're like thousands of dollars. I'm like I'm not trying to, we're not trying to wait in at 350.
Speaker 2:I'm about to hit the vape. Do you hear my washing machine? Let me close the door on that. I have a comforter in there. I shoved the kids comforters into the washing machine.
Speaker 1:I literally just washed ours yesterday, cause I'm also freaked out about germs right now.
Speaker 2:My um, so my comforter is down. I do put it in the washing machine. I'm sure people are gonna freak out about this. Why are we not? I do the same thing I have down. I don't know it says not to, but does it? Does yours get all like wound up?
Speaker 1:mine gets like real wild in there it gets wild and then it takes 17 days for it to dry fully perfect, hey, it's forever. I was like okay, and normally I hang it outside, like over my little balcony thing. I'm railing on my porch because I love the smell of like outside, but then the pollen and oak is so awful right now it ain't happening, so I literally had to spray, like lay it over my couch yesterday with the fan on, in hopes that it would dry before bedtime I've put mine in.
Speaker 2:I have put mine in the dryer to give it a head start.
Speaker 1:Oh I do I put it lay? It over my couch yesterday with the fan on in hopes that it would dry before bedtime I have put mine in the dryer to give it a head start.
Speaker 2:Oh, I do, I put it on three cycles of sanitize yeah. Okay, I ain't playing about germs right now. I'm telling you so. I'm also a line dryer.
Speaker 1:I obviously don't have a line, but with my sheets I prefer a bleach sheet and I lay them over my like big chairs and let them dry for the day, because it smells completely different than in the car. That smell is like a bleach white. I'm a white towel, white sheet girl. I'm a gray. I'm a gray sheet girl. I don't really know why, I don't know. I have it in my head that, like, gray, t-shirts are softer. I think Nate said that.
Speaker 2:I have at least two gray t-shirts that I think are literally could rule the world. They're like and one of them I feel that way about right now. One of them, by the way, it's actually from Aerie, but it's like a V-neck t-shirt that they have right now I'm obsessed with.
Speaker 1:I actually ordered some V-neck t-shirts. You may have seen I posted in the Mommy Exchange about this. I want, like, a good V-neck or boat neck t-shirt to wear every day and I just haven't found one I like. I took some back to Kohl's because I did not like them.
Speaker 2:The one that I got from American Eagle is very relaxed. You pretty much have to knot the front because it's so relaxed.
Speaker 1:I prefer that.
Speaker 2:I prefer that. Well, they're right on the wall. But when the Aerie goes into American Eagle, but you are going to have to buy extra small, extra small with these girls I am wearing an extra, extra small in it and it's huge, but I'm obsessed with it. Like the sleeve actually has like an extra panel, so it goes like an inch and a half longer but it's a loose sleeve. I'll get a picture of it today because I'm sure I'm probably going to wear it. I've worn it, I live in a t-shirt like that.
Speaker 1:That and tanks. I love a good tank too.
Speaker 2:My tanks are tight, my t-shirts are loose, same, same.
Speaker 1:Same. I really love the Amazon Essentials tanks. They are long, which I prefer. They're a good, they're a good tank If anybody's looking.
Speaker 2:I was looking last night for a crop tank. I found these pants on Amazon that I just can't do it.
Speaker 1:I just really I cannot do it. Well, but you don't wear high rise.
Speaker 2:I don't. Mine aren't actually cropped by the, because otherwise, with all my super high rise because everything I buy is super high rise then I have to somehow find an extra place for six inches of fabric, which ends up in weird places. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's the issue with the. If the tanks are too long, then I'm just like I have this middle section that looks like I've recently lost 80 pounds.
Speaker 1:I don't know why I can't. I don't even know if I've ever tried. I mean I think I have. I have tried high rise and I just did not like. I feel like it just gets in the cuckoo.
Speaker 2:I think I like that. Um, look at your, look at your phone. I got targeted for these yesterday and I got targeted for them in black, but I was like wait a minute, they're just like a white. You are on your New England vibe, I'm telling you I'm like full New England summer, Like I'm so into this right now. I love a Palazzo, though.
Speaker 1:Like.
Speaker 2:I have two pairs, so I didn't want to buy them in black, which is normally my go-to, but I was like wait, this is if these cause I can't stand a white linen pant, I'm going to. I'm going to be the one here that says the thing we're all thinking God dang, what a dramatic POS. I have never in my life. I have done it Michael Kors for years. I cannot stand looking like I have slept outside in a pair of $200 pants. You've got to be joking me. I won't do it. I will not. You will not catch me in white linen pants. I hate it so much. We talked about that. You don't do white jeans either. No, but white linen is more offensive. If I had to pick one I know a white jean I could at least Fourth of July and get through it. White linen makes me want to lose my mind, so I bought some to take.
Speaker 1:I took some to Italy, but I did not wear them.
Speaker 2:It's so dramatic. So I'm really hoping that this is like one of those fabrics that's like not dramatic and I could have that look, because I like a wide leg pant. I think they're so cute. So this is also the shoe. We're in full New England.
Speaker 1:I'm actually Full New England, I feel like I need a lobster roll for lunch.
Speaker 2:Don't you, though? There used to be this lobster roll truck here?
Speaker 1:It was amazing, but I don't think these are the ones you've ordered. Yeah, you sent me we sent pictures.
Speaker 2:Um, I sent you the braided ones. I went with two pairs. Yeah, these are super cute. So I think I'm going for this, like also really in my glitter era, for whatever reason.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, I've always been in my glitter era, for whatever reason. Oh my gosh, I've always been in my glitter era. I was like, born with glitter era.
Speaker 2:I love glitter. I just think for a little bit, I like everything was more like I'm also getting targeted for this trend. That's like put her back in her pink era. And it's like all this talking about how, like, because we all had to get like so serious and so businessy and everything became like black and like whatever, that like a lot of the girls are moving back towards like glitter, oh yeah, and like, all right for me, I love it. So I'm like okay, well, these will be my, they look good on your foot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know I like the rainbow ones, but I okay, let me find this flat pair too Interesting. The rainbow is so or sorry the rainbow. The braid is so cute with the jeans, but I was like with the plazas it might be a little tricky. You know how your pants get stuck on.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's a pet peeve of mine.
Speaker 2:I know, so I was like, well, let me find another.
Speaker 1:Well, I wore high heels yesterday, where Last night, last night, and when I tell you my second to last, toe and pinky, my dogs were barking and I mean the worst is when you're pinky, like part of it's gone when you get home. Becca, I had to take my shoes off while I was driving. It hurt, so I mean you shouldn't drive in high heels anyways.
Speaker 2:Do you know this?
Speaker 1:I didn't know this.
Speaker 2:This is an actual fear of mine. There are a fair amount of accidents that happen because the high heel gets stuck on your car carpet and you like, can't like, at the exact moment that you need to break. Or it's like a real thing. It's like do you get it? This is my PSA. Take your heels off when you drive, you'll be much safer.
Speaker 1:I feel like this is like a new fear unlocked, like I have no idea.
Speaker 2:It's a real thing.
Speaker 1:I've heard about flip-flops. I've heard flip-flops aren't good to drive in.
Speaker 2:They will get like that heel gets stuck at the exact moment that you need it not to be stuck.
Speaker 1:Interesting. Well, I'm telling you, after last night I think I told Nate when I walked in the door I was like I think I'm done with high heels. It really hurt my pinkies. I'm telling you, they were jamming shoes. It was bad. If it would have been a sandal, I'd have probably been wearing pointy ones.
Speaker 2:Yes, okay, I can't do that. Lately I have had to have an open. I've had to go to just the two strap because when I put my feet into the pointy ones I'm like I used to do a whole shift at Michael Kors and pointy heels. I had the Alex guy next to Whole Foods fix my best pointy heels so I could wear them forever. When I go to put them on right now I've put them on a few times in an attempt to wear them for a day I was like good Lord, no.
Speaker 1:Oh God, I'm like how did I used to put on cheap-ass Charlotte Roos heels Right To walk around downtown Charleston for like six hours? Oh?
Speaker 2:we were walking in snow. We had on the same outfits as you guys, but it was snowing. We didn't wear jackets. We didn't in snow. We had on the same outfits as you guys, but it was snowing. We didn't wear jackets. We didn't wear anything Law dog did. It would be like snow in the heel and I'm like pain's nothing. No, now I can only wear that Vince Camuto crossover bottom, top pair.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, last night I was talking to Nate and I was like you know, I really think I need to invest in some really quality, good flats. And then I was like what do you think about Rothy's? And he just kind of looked at me and I'm like it's like $130. He was like for a shoe.
Speaker 2:I was like, yeah, I have a friend, my friend, Susan Riley, has a bunch of pair of Rothy's and they are beautiful.
Speaker 1:Are they? I like a slingback one. You know I love a slingback one.
Speaker 2:I love a slingback. She was the first person I knew that got a pair like a few years ago, so it was the traditional sort of almost like loafer pointy loafer yeah. But she has quite a few fun pairs and they are actually really beautiful.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, that's good to know. That might be what I talk myself into for Mother's Day.
Speaker 2:She's very New England summer. She's one of those people who is like effortlessly beautiful all the time. I do not understand, Like you're never going to just see her. She could be the bus app with a cup of coffee in her pajamas and she's still extending. I'm like I don't know how you're doing it. Like, are you just really well rested? What is that? Did you see the reel I posted last night?
Speaker 2:That was like a man talking about how his wife never worked. No, so she's the only you know how sometimes you can see that somebody else clicked it, yeah, and it's like so she had also liked it, which is amazing because she actually owns her own law firm. So this is like she's no joke. She's a copyright lawyer and she has a partner and they're amazing. But like women own business the whole nine. But she's just effortlessly chic. The man is like I don't want my wife to work. I've taught my son this His wife doesn't work. Women need daytime hours, they need to have a nice bath, they need to get rest, Otherwise they're going to be all wrinkly.
Speaker 2:And he's like he's like no, he was like women need daytime hours, they need peace, they need a long bath. I was like sir, sir spread the word sir, sir, Spread the word, Spread the word. He was like I don't want my granddaughter working either. She's going to need daytime hours. I'm like if Susan Riley says that we need daytime hours, then we need daytime hours.
Speaker 1:Daytime hours. I would welcome a bath right now. That sounds lovely. Instead, I've got a clogged toilet. I have a clogged toilet right now too. Did your kids?
Speaker 2:do it Because my kid did mine. Oh yeah, it's in the kid's bathroom and people keep reminding me and then I keep forgetting. But yes, like of course my kids did, it's not me.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, listen, I've been known to clog a toilet. I like an excessive amount of toilet paper. Have we had this? I?
Speaker 2:get. I'm a, I listen. There's wet wipes everywhere in here. You can tell me all you want about plumbing. I'm gonna tell you right now. I like a good like I'm putting bidets everywhere.
Speaker 1:Nate, or when I get Nate, like he gets unglued about the amount of toilet paper that I use.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, I just I just got it. I don't. I'm sorry, nate, this is I'll. I'll give you the dog poop in the car. I'm going to fight you on the toilet paper.
Speaker 1:You're team Jenny on this one. Okay, Well.
Speaker 2:I appreciate that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's, and you know we're on septic, so we used to use, like special cheap ass thin toilet paper and it ain't happening much no, I do not. I grew up on septic, so, like I, 100 understand so, yeah, we have um so clark and I love toilet paper and we like cotton because it's got the ridges and we just feel like it does a really good job good toilet paper is really important.
Speaker 2:I don't play around about toilet paper I don't either.
Speaker 1:Do you know? When we go out of town, like I, will take a roll of toilet paper with us.
Speaker 2:True story everywhere I go they're in my overnight bag.
Speaker 1:I don't play like if I'm in a play like we go to disney and I'm like as much money as they charge for these hotel rooms and you can't put a decent roll of toilet paper in here, I'm packing mine. I'm packing mine.
Speaker 2:This is me with the wet wipes. I'm like I don't know what I'm going to need to clean up. I don't know if it's going to be the countertops. I don't know if it's going to be the dashboard in my car. I don't know if it's going to be a number two.
Speaker 1:Like I got to, they're very versatile.
Speaker 2:And I don't know if that is. That's completely a kid thing, because I didn't do that before, but now I'm addicted to it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, yeah. I'm glad that I'm not the only team toilet paper, give me all the coverage.
Speaker 2:I just have a tiny bit of news. Remember how I went to go see the Carolina Hurricanes with my friend, raleigh Guess, who's going to the Stanley Cup playoffs Shut up. That's fun. That just happened two days ago. I'm so excited.
Speaker 1:That's fun. You need that.
Speaker 2:I know Me and Seth Jarvis, that's who needs that.
Speaker 1:I'm really excited for you. Oh my gosh, there's this new. This is not hockey related. There's this new baseball player.
Speaker 2:I was going to tell you I wanted to bring up baseball also. Let's talk.
Speaker 1:Well, it's just, it's. You know, I watch reels in the morning. Clark and I, like you know, we do that. Well, and it's officially baseball season it's, which is, you know, my favorite sport to watch in person. Truthfully, watching it loved it, whatever.
Speaker 2:But there was this reel about this new player for philadelphia, whoever their mascot is, and I honestly like, don't know, and I really I feel like I should, but the only thing that comes to mind is the flyers. So i'm'm like I'm still stuck in hockey. I have no idea who the Philadelphia baseball team is.
Speaker 1:Dude, I'm like gracious me, but there was a whole reel about how beautiful this man is, so like clearly, like it's not up for discussion, he is in fact.
Speaker 2:Send it to me. Why don't you send it to me? I'm working on it now, so I was. What I was going to ask you is this twofold have you ever done custom sneakers like a Nike, shocks, nike.
Speaker 1:No, but I actually want to do some.
Speaker 2:So I did a pair in college, like when the program originally rolled out. It is probably. One of my only regrets is that I do not still have this pair of sneakers, because they were stunning. But I did it like in old school, like when they were. They were a fortune because it was the program was brand new. Yeah, I was training for the Disney marathon, so it was the year that I graduated early, so it would have been. I only got halfway through my fourth year, so I must've done it that summer and I ran the Disney marathon in a full Tinkerbell costume with wings.
Speaker 2:This was the whole thing, because everyone dresses up. So the shoe was a Nike shocks and it was white with like black accents. But you know how the shocks used to have the thing that went up to the laces, like it almost looks like. Okay, that was all gold, because I love gold and I've always loved gold. And they were obnoxious, but they were. I love an obnoxious ugly running shoe Like I don't want. I want it hot pink, I want it hot orange, I want it to look like graffiti, like these are not your. Wear them with your dress, wear them with your jeans, like my when I was running. Running like the louder the uglier, the more neon. That's the shoe that I want. So they were gold.
Speaker 2:I don't know where they are and I keep praying to God that my mom, who saves everything, somehow comes across them, like under my childhood bed or something I have no idea which doesn't even exist in their house. But like that is the one thing I wish I had never gotten rid of. Like I don't know why I made that decision, but now the major league baseball players are doing custom cleats. Have you seen that? Oh, no, oh, they're doing all kinds of like, like references to the Statue of Liberty. Some of it's for, like their social causes or like, and not everyone's doing it. But a couple of players are coming out with these really wild, really stunning, like gorgeous custom shoes, like it'll be. Let's see, I'm gonna have to find you some. But like and they're not just, by the way, they're not nike like some of them are under armor. Um, some of them have like a bible verse on them. There's like military appreciation.
Speaker 1:I love a customizable anything same.
Speaker 2:So this is why. That's why I was like I wonder if you you've ever done like the Nike shocks or anything like that, like they're like cool looking, look at this, oh, those are fun. I'll have to find the statue of Liberty set, but there's like I'm going to find the sexy guy.
Speaker 1:Cause like I am like dying for you to like please. I love that. Well, like I, I'm going to have to find it, Cause the real was like goodness gracious. So when are you doing that? The Stanley cup thing?
Speaker 2:Wait, wait what.
Speaker 1:When are you doing the hockey thing?
Speaker 2:Oh, I don't know when I'm doing anything. I just know that they're going to the playoffs. I hope that I would love to do something more fun with that. I'm going to find, so I think it's Aaron Judge that has the Statue of Liberty cleats. Oh, that's so funny.
Speaker 1:He literally just popped up on my top 50 hottest baseball players when you said that.
Speaker 2:It's not just the cleats, it's like these hints of that perfect Statue of Liberty green like in the gloves. It's not just the cleats, it's like these hints of that perfect Statue of Liberty green in the gloves. It's in the protective gear. It's in his equipment. He's putting these hints all over. I think he was born and raised in New York City, so it's like a nod I love that.
Speaker 2:And then he ended up being a Yankee, which is also kind of incredible. Yeah, I mean I don't know also kind of incredible. Yeah, I mean I don't know Um if you're listening to this. You made it on the top 50 hottest um hit her up, hit her up.
Speaker 2:Guys. You know I'm going to ask Chad GPT who's single and it always tells me that it can't tell me and it's probably because of people like me. I asked, I was like, which of the Buffalo Bills linemen are single right now and the other day, and I was like unfortunately, that information is kept private for obvious reasons. Rebecca Miller, I was like mother fucker.
Speaker 1:Chat GPT.
Speaker 2:come on, man, I mean, it didn't say it like that, but it was like you would have to do all of these things to figure that out. And then I asked my cousin and he was like literally, you are the reason why they don't share that information. I was like I mean, it's not like, I just want to know if he's single guys, and that was not like I show up to the game like a buckle bunny or whatever it is.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh. Do you remember when we were talking about darius rucker?
Speaker 2:yeah, which, by the way, we should actually share. Can we briefly share the the other darius rucker story? Because I just think about the friend that said that like I should date darius rucker and I was like, yes, that is the most offhand, but I'm pretty sure A he's married. But like I really love that my friends live in a Delulule land as wild as mine. Because, like, I laughed out loud and she was like, no, I'm being serious, you guys would be so hot, like why not? No, okay, it's a thing right now. That's what I'm saying. I think he is married, but I'm listen, I think he's happily married and does amazing things here in Charleston. So I'm not trying to make that weird. My point is this he is married.
Speaker 1:He's been married for 25 years.
Speaker 2:That's what I said but I love that we're just sitting and someone else from my friend group is like no God, that'd be so cute. Someone else from my friend group was like no God, that'd be so cute, it'd be so hot.
Speaker 1:I'm like what? Anyway, I totally saw him at Town Center.
Speaker 2:Did you really, when you were buying a more American Eagle, shut up?
Speaker 1:No, actually I think I was going to the wine store, but yeah, he was there. It made me chuckle because we had had that conversation.
Speaker 2:I was like hey, what's up?
Speaker 1:Are you single? He had a wedding band on.
Speaker 2:I am 100% under the impression that he I was when she said it. I just love the fact.
Speaker 1:Good question. I want to have this conversation. It literally just hit me. Did you always wear your wedding bands?
Speaker 2:Yes, I never took them off.
Speaker 1:What are your thoughts on people not wearing their wedding bands?
Speaker 2:I find it interesting. Okay, but I know I do have girlfriends Like don't you not always wear?
Speaker 1:yours. No, I don't wear mine very often at all.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and like I have a couple friends who, like my friend Summer, rarely wears her real one, she has like one of the the workout bands. That's what I have. Yes, I would almost call it like a halo, but I don't think that's what it is.
Speaker 2:That's like plastic from Amazon helo or whatever that thing is, I don't know. There's a brand that has like um and like my ex-husband used to wear one of those like silicone ones too, yeah, now that I've known it as more of a trend, I mean I just like liked mine, yeah, so, and I obviously like, love jewelry, so, and I love wearing rings, but I don't know, I don't really. I do think it's interesting because I love wearing jewelry, but I also do realize when I look around that I'm wearing significantly more than anyone else.
Speaker 1:You do wear a lot of I mean compared to me which I? I feel like I get home and like I want all the things off of me. It's like an overstimulation thing, like I can feel them in years. I can like feel stuff on my fingers and so it's like I don't know some kind of weird sensory thing. I don't know.
Speaker 2:That's the only stimulation I can handle. I would rather be like the other day I was working and I only had on all of my jewelry a bra and sweatpants and at one point I got up to like get a coffee from the door and I was like, oh shoot, I have got to get my life together. Like you can hang out like that on your own, but like if I had to choose something, I would choose the jewelry and like no top, no britches.
Speaker 2:No, I literally have been sitting and hanging out for quite some time and I didn't think twice about it, but I like ride solo a little bit, so it's just me and my dog and my sweatpants.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that Like.
Speaker 2:No, I love it, it's my, my. I was like this is my favorite outfit right now this very cozy american eagle bra, these high-waisted sweatpants from old navy and my dog just hanging out.
Speaker 1:Then my world. I have this outfit like it's not a muumuu, it's like actually a romper that I got on amazon that I wear as a bathing suit cover up, but it is my favorite outfit to like get ready in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, that's the outfit. It's that, it's the bra and the sweatpants I will literally like be jamming out to like it could be anything, it could be beast of burden, it could be whatever, but that is like exactly how I roll for getting ready. It's like just hanging out full Cause I get so hot.
Speaker 2:Are you like this? Yeah, that's why it's not. That's so for everyone who's judging. I don't know which stage of your life you're in or where you live, but here in the great state of South Carolina, do a shower and then your hair, and then all of that in the same period of time. You got to get the fans going, you got to get the AC going. You cannot be fully clothed. I'm sorry, I don't know a single person who's working it that way.
Speaker 1:No, Do you do hair first then makeup, or makeup then hair?
Speaker 2:That's a really good question. I do hair first, same Same, okay, but I do think some people actually go the other way.
Speaker 1:I know, I think that's odd.
Speaker 2:My face would melt off. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, there are times where I will actually blow out my hair Do you ever do the ice bath. Have you heard of this? With your face? No, no, this is a thing. I've been doing it lately Not in the last three weeks, but I need to because I look old as shit right now, but I have. I keep seeing this online. Where you like, dunk your face.
Speaker 1:Submerge. Yeah, yes, I've seen it Okay.
Speaker 2:So I started doing it and the results are dramatic. So sometimes I will actually blow out my hair, but before curling because curling is not as hot I will actually go back, do the like, put it in a quick clip, do the ice dunk a few times, get my body core temperature down for a second and then go back and curl, but it definitely, like gives you a quick tighten. It's also apparently amazing if you're borderline going to have a panic attack. I read this whole thing that like that, like whatever happens when you do that, like full submerge of ice, um, can actually pretty quickly stop like a panic attack. Well, that is really good to know. I don't really get like panic attacks, but I do get a couple. They're not fun, no, I really haven't. I mean, like more college days is when I would get like that, you know in that place. But yeah, apparently it's like amazing for that.
Speaker 1:Well, that is so good to know. I've never done it. I mean, we're on well water so it's freaking cold as shit.
Speaker 2:anyway, I would love that.
Speaker 1:So I do wash with cold water because just I feel like it wakes me up and I'm convinced I can't do that on my body.
Speaker 2:Really, I'm a baby about it. I cannot stand on my body.
Speaker 1:Really, I'm a baby about it. I cannot stand. I'm talking, just my face. I can do my burn my flesh off in the shower. Okay, that's, we're on the same page. Like burn it. Yeah, full turn to the left. Like I'm going full turn.
Speaker 2:No, I'm like the when the girl, when I'm putting the girls in the tub, I'm like I'm going to turn it halfway and then I want you to get in pretty early on and figure out where your temp is, cause I know for sure that I'm either I don't know if it's the same I feel like it's the same even with, like spicy food. I'm like I don't know if I just have like a sensory issue where, like everything overstimulates me, except I want to sweat when I eat and I want to burn my flesh off when I shower and I can wear jewelry. I'm not sure how we're picking the things that we can navigate through, because, I swear to God, the sound of the air fryer lately has been pushing me over the edge. But the other stuff I can handle.
Speaker 1:My family's sniffling with these allergies I told Clark this morning. When she woke me up at 4 o'clock in the morning I was like can you just blow your nose? I cannot listen to you any more I'm.
Speaker 2:it's the same for like and I've been. I'm a freak right now because you've been going through it. But if I hear your hands in your mouth, I have. I was like I don't know who that was, I don't want to know. Everyone go to the bathroom right now and wash your hands. I am starting like my trauma level. I'm like a siren. I'm like I'm the hockey buzzer when the thing goes in the net, like I immediately visceral, I'm going to lose. I was like there are three sinks. Everyone pick a sink. Time to wash your hands. I don't know who just did that. I can, I can't. I cannot do it with some of this stuff. I am starting to lose my mind. I'm unraveling with the germophobia right now. I'm sure you are. If you want to stick your hands in someone's mouth, get the dog. The dog is the only person I trust right now, don't everyone else no.
Speaker 1:Um, so we don't have to get into the whole story um about what happened with my kidney stone adventure, but I did have kidney stones a couple of weeks ago on a flight from Charleston to Atlanta, which if you have flown that flight, you know that it is about 30 minutes. I have never had kidney stones, so that was a fun little adventure on the plane. But you want to talk when you don't give a shit about germs Is when you are hurling your guts On an airplane bathroom toilet and you don't care. And then you pee in the floor and again you don't care Because you are in excruciating pain. And then after I get to the hospital via EMS truck, can't even I go to throw up more in the toilet because it's a common bathroom there is a prisoner in handcuffs outside of it. The hospital that I was at they were lovely, they were lovely people of it. With the hospital that I was at, they were lovely, they were lovely people. It was the most skank hospital you could ever fathom Ever.
Speaker 2:You were in.
Speaker 1:Atlanta. I was in Atlanta, so I went to go throw up.
Speaker 1:I'm going back to the germ germaphobe thing here, which I am a germaphobe, you know this. I go to run down the hall to throw up because I'm just hurling uncontrollably. The toilet is backed up with brown paper towels and God knows what else, so I can't puke in the toilet. So then my only other option in the bathroom is a trash can. So I start throwing up in the trash can of a random hospital in Atlanta that the prisoner had just come out of. He apparently had smoked some weed. So I'm throwing up. There are shorts in the bathroom trash can. I'm holding and hovering over this trash can, hurling my guts out. I did not give a shit about any germs.
Speaker 2:But is your mind? At some point you're like how did you take your shorts?
Speaker 1:off. I seriously was thinking it, but it was like again peeing in the floor because you know, just you're I'm hurling all of my insides out. It's a lot of stress on the old bladder so I could have cared less about anything that day, any germs, and I tell you you know what a freak I am.
Speaker 2:Now I will say there are definitely moments where I'm like.
Speaker 1:There are definitely moments in life where I've been like oh well, oh, freaking hell, take your hands off your mouth. Yes, yes. So I lost every sense of dignity or decorum that I had that day. Could have cared less.
Speaker 2:But now do you find that your germ thing it's kind of like the sniffling is amplified, because you're like no, no, no, becca, I have washed everything.
Speaker 1:I put bleach, borax, Arm Hammer, baking soda, fabric softener, any piece of clothing that I had on that day. I'm like we straight burning it.
Speaker 2:Have you ever just thrown out like an outfit, oh yeah. Have you ever just had like a moment where you're like that, I'm not washing that?
Speaker 1:I have done that. I have left underwear and bras and spanks and places if I just feel like all of a sudden it is too tight on me or bothering me. Thanks I'll leave that shit in the tampon dispenser trash can and not think twice about it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no I don't, I try.
Speaker 1:I fucking hate spanks so I'm just like you, gotta see my role.
Speaker 2:if you're going to be that twisted, if it's going to cost me the look of what best case scenario six pounds. Sometimes I feel like I look more rounder in Spanx. I look smaller but rounder. I'm like what the fuck Did you just push it forward? Why did that happen?
Speaker 1:my boyfriend's asked me one time when he was watching me get ready, which I don't like. That anyway I don't. I don't want anybody near me when I'm getting ready.
Speaker 2:It's a no. I don't especially the commentary on the outfit before it's fully on.
Speaker 1:I'm like whoa, but after my boyfriend asked me he's like watching me put the spanks on. He's like but where does the fat go? He's like I don't understand.
Speaker 2:I'm like rose in the garbage with you yes, he's an ex-boyfriend.
Speaker 2:He's not my husband, so he asked me that I am I especially so also with kids was really even where my mind went. I am was the queen of throwing away clothes like for sure have shit in it or vomited we're. I'll pull up to the nearest gas station that's going directly in the garbage, that we're not taking it home where. I'm going to think about that every time I look at that outfit. No, I've cut my out of outfits before, just so I don't have to pull that anywhere with the poop and then I've rolled it, rolled it down and that's a garbage outfit.
Speaker 1:We're not putting it in the laundry well, and I also feel like it like taints my washing machine for some reason. Are you like this?
Speaker 2:yeah, I definitely can't get real excited about like right exactly um, during my little fiasco in atlanta airport.
Speaker 1:So we had a trash bag that they gave us on the plane so I could change clothes because I had peed my pants, so I had leggings and underwear in there. But then I had to start throwing up on the plane tram. So the only bag that I had was the one with my leggings and underwear in it and I was like asking Nate for a bag because I was like I need to puke and he's like wait, your clothes are in there. I'm like I don't care.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my leggings. I'm just going to get a new pair. He was like so what do you?
Speaker 1:want me to do with this. I'm like let's just throw them away. Let's just throw them away.
Speaker 2:It's okay. I think we're better off. Let's say, even if it's my best Lululemon leggings, we're at $98. I'm not saying because $98 is a lot of money. I'm not trying to be funny here. If for a second I think that I'm going to catch a whiff of VOM in the middle of yoga, I would rather have only one pair left. Same Yep, Because my nose memory, my wolf nose memory yes, Like yo, I can borderline smell color right now is how wild my wolf nose is. I'm like would you like to know how orange smells? Like anyone want to know what green smells like? Like my wolf nose is on fire right now. I don't know if I'm like somewhere in my cycle where I just can literally smell. I told you the other day I smell like crayon. My kids were coloring in the back seat. I was like you got to put that away. They're like what? They're crayons. I was like I don't care, I am going to vomit from the smell of those crayons.
Speaker 2:That is so funny, I love the smell of crayons Normally I do too, but something about wherever I was in my mind, or my cycle, or my stress, I was like that. That smell is going to make me upchuck into my cup holder oh god, we're freaking losing it over here, guys I think we are my stress level. I'm like I'm fully back in fight or flight. That's awesome. Uh, I'm sure maybe next week when everyone goes back to school and life and we'll come down a few notches. God knows, Well happening anytime soon.
Speaker 1:But it's been pure mayhem today, which is where we are to be quite honest and I know.
Speaker 2:I would like to know, though people have done the custom shoes. I want to see the pictures, because I'm like, really into this whole. I think it's so fun.
Speaker 1:I almost did some custom chucks for Nate one year.
Speaker 2:I think it's worth it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because you know I love a good chuck.
Speaker 2:I'm going to vote. I don't do the chucks, but I have a lot of friends that do.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I just think it's easier. No, I know a lot of friends that do. Yeah, I just think she no, I know I it's like a little flat and round for me. Okay, flat, I like a little, I like a little height. Like, if you look at my sneakers, like most of like, kind of like the nike shocks, like my pair that I love right now has like the, you know, like the air around the back heel bottom. I don't know what it is, but I like a little.
Speaker 1:Do you like those like platform shoes at all? That are really in.
Speaker 2:No, but I have a good friend that. No, because I did see that they're back, but when we were in college. So my college roommate, adrienne, who I love, is a tater tot. I mean, she's short, short and so she had, like, her flip-flops were high and this is 20 years ago.
Speaker 1:So I had. I rocked the high flip-flop the platform she had high flip-flops and she had high cute little.
Speaker 2:I mean she probably is like a size five foot, like the cutest little feet. So she had like high sneakers and we did this like 5k run that our college used to do because this girl was abducted on one of her, like morning runs. So we had this like linda yalum run where we would like raise money and like we would just, you know, commemorate this, and she ran the whole thing and these high-heeled sneakers. I was like adrian. This cannot be like what they intended, but more than one, more than once we ended up outside of our apartment and she had a navy blue pair and she had a black pair of the flip flops and she had one of each. I'm like dog.
Speaker 1:Have you not done that before? I feel like I do that all the time.
Speaker 2:No, but I don't think I have very many. You know how I am about shoes. I feel like you have a lot of black shoes.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God, you remember that picture. I posted that time.
Speaker 2:Where I have way less. It takes me forever to love a shoe and then that's my only black shoe. I mean, I have five pairs, but I tend to fall more into the like I'm going to wear the Vince Camudos forever. But I tend to fall more into the like I'm going to wear the Vince Camudos forever and then they're going to break, like they do, and then I'm going to be devastated and I'm going to buy 17 pairs and return them all until I figure it out again. Okay, so the fact that I have two crystal pairs is blowing my mind, because that's not really how I roll.
Speaker 1:I mean, let's be real, I don't wear probably 98% of my shoes.
Speaker 2:It's a problem. No, I mean I have, like some, I have some major rows in there. They're more sneakers, but like because I live that sneaker legging life and I'm old and so when I don't wear sneakers my body hurts listen, sister, my pinky, in this last little toe, I mean even today.
Speaker 1:They are hurting, hurting. I told nate I'm like, I think I'm gonna have to get in these shoes that I had on were so cute. They're cute little. I got them at lulu's like super cute little heel, just no I know where whenever it tapers in.
Speaker 2:That's why I can only wear the strap over now.
Speaker 1:When it starts to taper in, my foot is like your ballerina days are over well, and then I think it makes you walk weird and so you almost look like you're a kid playing dress up because you're like having that weird, like walk where it's like.
Speaker 2:Oh, I used to when I worked in my course. I was ruthless because, like we had rules about makeup, hair, nail color, nail length, all of that and it was like the opposite of what you would think. I lived for it because it was so easy to coach to you couldn't wear heavy makeup, so if they came in in heavy makeup, be like just wash your face, like it was meant to look like fresh face and all-american. You couldn't have like super done up hair. I'd be like that's wild, go ahead and brush it out. Like you were supposed to look like approachable and like the nail colors had like a spectrum, but it was like very neutral or none Like. So it was like I loved it because it was so easy and simple and it couldn't be like the girls that would come in with like the fully contoured face and this like over the top what they thought the brand was. It was like if you look at their ads, the girls aren't wearing makeup, like they're like all nationalities, all ages and they're like just fresh face, like lip gloss, blush, little bit of mascara. I like lived for it. It was simple, but they would go out there and be like listen until you can figure out how to not walk like a baby giraffe. I'm going to need you to just put on some nice flats, like when you're out there do you know what I mean? Like when you're walking like you've just been birthed, you gotta. I need you to come up with something different for the meantime. Like that you. It can't be like eighth grade night. It can't be your first prom. Like you got to save that for home.
Speaker 2:No, like he had a ton of sandals. Like that was a very. That was a whole other part of it. Like shoes are a big thing, sneakers are a big thing with that brand too. But like great, get it next time we get free sneakers or free shoes. Don't pick shoes you can't walk in. Pick a flat sandal with an ankle strap.
Speaker 1:Don't jack around like yeah but but here's my thing I love them because they're so pretty. I buy shoes, I love a pretty shoe, and then I get it and I'm like, what have I done? What have I done?
Speaker 2:We had a girl who also did some modeling and so sometimes she would actually teach people how to do it and she was really good at walking, walking you through how to get there, like where to distribute your body weight, like how to make it work. We should call her Cause I probably need her back in my life.
Speaker 1:I mean seriously, and I'm like I'm anxious to know if other girls are comfortable in heels at air. Is it just like?
Speaker 2:if it's my, the Vince Camuto, I can wear them all day. If it's the pointy toes I have, I know exactly what you're talking about, cause I have tried to slide my good ones on more than two times since January and I've been like good Lord, that's not going to work. Did you get rid of them? I they're, so they are on the list of potential. They may not make the most the newest cut, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm going to do a purge too, cause I'm, I'm I think I told you the other day we were talking about paper plates. I'm like I've reached this point where I'm super overstimulated by stuff.
Speaker 2:I can't stand stuff.
Speaker 1:You know I'm like you're super minimal and I love that for you and I honestly I wish I was more like that, um, but I mean, just like I told you the other day, like I can't even handle like paper plates right now I don't know what is going on with me.
Speaker 2:But my thing with paper plates is like, the way kids eat for me is very like that's overstimulating. So then I have to like, rinse the do you know what I mean? Like with the sauces and the things. I'm like God, I'm going to have to scrub that off, and I don't love that for me either.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 2:I don't become that person where I'm like I can use a plate. You can't use a plate.
Speaker 1:Well, I almost bought new plates last weekend at Costco, but I ran into Becca and she was like what?
Speaker 2:I was just like saying hi, but instead she was like saying hi, so, but instead I was like you don't need those. But actually I will say this I completely, I. I take back what I said. Those, the way the bowls, with the plate, with the, it had like a lip, so it was like higher, I don't know what it looks like. The only kind of thing I could make in pottery class. To be honest with you, they were $27.
Speaker 1:Like, like, let's go back to the price point, because it was like that whole set for 27.
Speaker 2:I was so excited no, but like you know how, like everyone would make like a beautiful bowl and your bowl would be like only one inch high. I was, like these plates remind me a lot of like the only effort that I could give in pottery class was like you know what I made, you're gonna die.
Speaker 1:I made my mom an ashtray.
Speaker 2:I knew it, Did you hear? I said it right. I was like I'm going to tell you, only in South Carolina would they let you make an ashtray in school.
Speaker 1:And it was like I made a little like. I made it in school and I painted it blue. Yeah, I made it in like elementary school and I made like like a little clay person, like she was on a float floating in the pool, but it was really an ashtray I can't leave it.
Speaker 2:Okay, I had a few stoner friends in high school. I had this one friend that was like I probably have his artwork here still. His name was, uh, giuseppe chinnappi but, but we called him Joey oh my God, that's the best name ever. But he was one of the best guys ever. Like. He was, like we were just like art friends and he was.
Speaker 2:He was a stoner and we were in high school, which was like kind of wild. His parents own an Italian deli and restaurant, giuseppe Ciannappi, and he would make these like stoner drawings with like all kinds of like tiny hidden meanings and stuff. But he definitely got away with making like a few uh, like apparatus, things like in patricus and our um, our art teacher's name was dana and I can't remember her last name, which is really crazy to me, but whatever, um, she would just be like and she would just like look the other way because they weren't clearly like pipes and stuff. But I would be like maybe, like dana definitely knows that just step each and every taking that home and he's coming back with these crazy drawings of mushrooms and shit and like okay, she's the one no, yeah, she was amazing.
Speaker 2:She really she was the perfect high school art teacher. We had like a girl in our class who was like mormon and she would make all these like real, this really beautiful art like. I obviously like art was a big part of my like thing then, so this was like not the normal high school art, this was like the next part, if you wanted to keep going further, like we already had our credits, we were just having fun with her, but she's the one that taught me the trick about like if you're gonna look at a photo of yourself and you're going to, can you hear my washing machine?
Speaker 2:yeah, I mean, I hear it just because you said something, I heard something so she was like if you're going to look at a picture of yourself and you're going to like, choose it and this is before social media but like if you're having trouble because you're just obsessing about your features, turn it upside down and look at it upside down and then you'll be able to quickly determine like which one is the better one of you, because your brain will stop obsessing about your actual features and it will start looking at things like symmetry. Just go ahead, and I still to this day, like when I'm going to post a selfie or something like that, I like quick flip it upside down, look through the five I took and move on.
Speaker 1:Well, I bet she would love to know that that stuck with you.
Speaker 2:Like something about it like shuts your brain off from like oh, dana taught us all kinds of things about life. We would go there after school and hang out with her. Did you get a delivery?
Speaker 1:Kid, kid. I don't know if it was a sniffle or a finger in the mouth, why stuff? Germs, germs, germs, oh my lord. Well, we're crazy. We are in just official bat shit crazy mode. I mean, it's almost spring break. It's almost spring break and we need it. No.
Speaker 2:I can't even. We're traveling for spring break this year, so we usually do to see my brother. My brain can't even. I was like I can only go one day at a time. Right now, I don't, we're just going to have to. I'm going to show up with what I show up with and the rest we can get a target and we will. Spring break is when you had to do your target trip last year, isn't it? Uh, yeah, cause I forgot panties. No, no, no, you forgot your whole suitcase.
Speaker 1:Oh no, that was um, that was summer. At my mom's oh Spring break, I did forget to pack all underwear. Oh, like none, completely forgot.
Speaker 2:My little brother did that when we were kids. My mom was really big on independence and she made us pack our own suitcases and he came with like part of our pantry and like nothing important and my mom, in classic Cindy Smiley fashion, like didn't check anything. So they actually like and this is before Target, right, because we're like kids. This is in the 90s guys like he yeah, he was born in 87, so this is like early 90s. Same kid who also like cut his hand open trying to make his own lunch because my mom made us do that too, and so he chose to make tuna and like. I think she got some weird phone calls from school about some of his stuff, but he was the last of three and she was like you got to figure this out.
Speaker 1:So the next episode will air during spring break, so that'll be fun. We'll have to come up with something fun for that one.
Speaker 2:I know we should.
Speaker 1:All right. Well, thanks for tuning in for the mayhem. This is what you signed up for. Well, thanks for tuning in for the mayhem. This is what you signed up for. Hey, we will see you guys next week.
