Hello? Hello. Hey, welcome back. This is Hannah and Calissa. I'm Sarah. Um, so in the beginning of this episode, we're just gonna, this is have a little outline. Yeah. Because we haven't seen each other in three weeks. Three weeks. Yeah. It's what a bit. Damn. Okay. So I kind of wanna talk about like, things that I've been through doing throughout my, um, three weeks without seeing them. We went to a Danny Go concert. Um, I went to Toledo. Um, WNBA and then Love Island Decorating Scent. Sabrina Carpenter, Sydney Sweeney. Gosh, Lil Wayne. Yeah. Got a lot to talk about. Yeah. Yeah. So those are something that I, topics I wanna talk about Co. Uh, Sarah, what about you? Um, okay, so the, these are more general, okay. So I wanna talk about social media presences of like. Not necessarily individuals, but like groups. Mm-hmm. And then you'll, I think you'll understand once I like expand more on that. Okay. Um, and then mortality. A little bit. Mortality, yeah. Because I had an interesting experience and I just wanna kinda get your guys' take on it since we're in a similar boat of loss. Oh, okay. Interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, I wanna talk about my June. Yeah. Uh, and we've got some new financial goals. Nice. Yes. We love it. Yes. So stay tuned to see what, stay tuned. Yeah. All we're gonna talk about. Yeah. Okay. Sarah, I can, I'm, do you want me to go first? Yeah. I'm kind of interested in that. Okay. Which one? Which one do you want me to start with? Um, you wanna go with the easy one first? The social media thing? Sure. Let's that, okay. So social media presences. I was talk, I was thinking the whole thing that brought this about. Started with, have you guys seen like party baseball teams on TikTok? Yes. So like, no, the firefighters, the bananas and the party animals? Yes. Party animals. All that kind of like, they. Play baseball. Mm-hmm. Slightly different rules around like how they win, but generally same rules. Um, but they like sing and dance and like film tiktoks and stuff, like while they play. I saw the Savannah Bananas. TikTok. Yes. Yes. And I just was fascinated by that. I absolutely, absolutely fascinated. I just thought it was so interesting, first of all, like I just wanted to know like what your thoughts were on that. Like them specifically like the party. Baseball people. Mm-hmm. Because I just was like, wow, this is so cool. Oh yeah. I have followed them for a long time. Okay. And I just think they're hilarious. Yes. And most of'em have like tried to get into the major leagues Yeah. And then like weren't able to. Right. So they're like, now they came to this and listening to some of their stories on how they got onto the Sabrina Bananas. Yeah. Are just so fun. Yeah. And like. You know, they really had these big dreams and then they're like, I'm, they were crushed. Mm-hmm. And then all of a sudden they got recruited to this dance team. Yeah, pretty much. But they're like big in their own right. Even it's just like, it's so fascinating. Yeah. They're, I mean, they're nailing the tiktoks. I saw the high school musical trend thing and I'm like, that's fun. Yes. But I didn't know what it was. I don't know what it was. I don't know what it is. Yeah. Yeah. So it's just a dance baseball group. It's kind, kind. Have you seen the Harlem Globetrotters? No. How? They do like a bunch of, well, it's like a basketball team. They do a bunch of tricks. It's more like a circus act. Mm-hmm. It's kind of like that. They do a bunch of tricks. They do a bunch of dances. They do, um, just funny stuff. Like one of their big things is like when they catch an, an outfield ball, like, forgive me if I don't get the terms right. But they do like a back flip to like catch it. Oh, geez. And that's like, oh my gosh, they had their first back flip catch or whatever. And it's just like. Those cool little things that they do and mm-hmm. They're just entertainers at heart and like, but they still get to play the sport that they love. And I dunno, I just thought it was really interesting and I sort of heard the backstory of like how the Savannah Banana thing started. Yeah. And it was just like this guy and his wife who have been funding this team, like personally funding this team. Um, and it started like overseas in some tiny country or like Guam or some like tiny country overseas somewhere. And I was just like, huh. That is so interesting. And I just, that like led me down a path of other social media stuff. The more of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just found the founder's, um, Instagram. Okay. And his post and he's like, um, has been on like TED Talks and stuff like that.'cause he's all about the fan experience. Yes, yes. And like, you build your fan base, one fan at a time. Yes. That it's all about the fans and no matter what, like there was a bunch of people asking for his signatures and the security guard was like, okay, we'll we'll get you through. We gotta go or whatever. He's like, no, I do not turn fans away. Mm-hmm. Wow. And he signed, stayed until everybody had gotten a signature. Awesome. A picture or whatever. I mean, so overwhelming I'm sure for him. Very. Yeah. But like how, I love that kind of mentality too, at the same time. Yeah. I could see how stressful it would be, but I also love it. I think it's just very. Like humble of him to like appreciate the people that appreciate him. Yeah. So, yeah, I don't know. I mean, even if like someone famous just looks in your direction and like kind of like, Hey, like that my life would be made. Yeah. Katie Perry. Katie Perry. I know. I was literally gonna, I know she literally was like, I love it. Or like, look at us. Night made. Yeah. Concert made. Yep. Yeah. But yeah, so even, even just like the small little gestures like that. Oh, for sure. You don't have to like sit there and like, tell me about your life story while I've got like a plethora of 50,000 people. Also just remembering that like we are all human at the base of it and like. We all crave that like connection with other people on some level. Mm-hmm. And for them to remember that and just give like one tiny little, like iota, one little drop of attention to like regular people on the outside is like really? Yeah. Heartwarming, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. So some, for some people that's a life goal. True. Yeah. For sure. Mm-hmm. I think of like, um, do you remember back in the day her name was Stalker? Sarah? Okay. No. Okay. She was like. Super fan before Super fan was like a thing. Mm-hmm. And she would just go around everywhere. She, her dad was like a paparazzi person and so she had like semi connections. She has glasses, like brown hair. Oh, okay. She's very straight, I think of, and you have definitely seen her. Okay. Because she's like, she's met like every celebrity. Yes. And she takes a picture with them and like she has all these stories and. Like, I think of that kind of thing a little bit. Mm-hmm. Like that's like taking it really far. Yeah. But you know, similar, there was like a TikTok trend where people were like, all the celebrities I made in their rankings. Mm. And so like, they are going to all these Comic-Con mm-hmm. Or like all these conventions and meeting all these people or like servers who live in Los Angeles or, yeah. Wherever. So like, I was on that side of TikTok forever. Mm-hmm. And people were like, how are you meeting these people? Like, what's your bank account like? Right. Right. Stuff isn't cheap to like for VIP or like be meet and greets. Like that's gotta be like, that's all they do work and then just go to these conventions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I had a couple other things that I wrote down too, but um, it was also thinking, thinking of just like companies in general and like how you feel.'cause I was, in my mind, I was thinking immediately scrub daddy, I don't know if you've seen Oh yeah. Scrub daddy, social media where they're like really funny and mm-hmm. Do go, yeah. They really like play into these, like these rules, all the trends and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And so I was curious what your guys' thoughts were on that, because I really love it when companies go like hard. Do you follow Quickstar? I don't, I don't. On Facebook they have the funniest social media team. Okay. Like, okay. There was a, a, a Casey's van Yeah. That was filling up with gas at Quickstar. Oh. And Quickstar posted a picture of it and they're like, Casey's, come get your boy. Oh my gosh. That's so funny. Even like, um, our chickens got the Grizzler and it's like on a promotion outside of the Quickstar. Yeah. The chickens sandwiches and like just the slang terms and everything. Those little, yeah, those little fun things. So they're, yeah, they're definitely nailing the pr. Yeah. The social media. They're like, you know, instead of like the old fashioned Yeah. You gotta get the young people's attention too. Yeah. Yeah. So what do you think about, like, have you, have you guys been on the side of TikTok where car dealerships especially or leaning into this? Yes. And like I'm thinking of, um, Hey Girlies and he, he is got like a Tumblr, like yes, this is girly. Like this is a girly car.'cause we talking about the Tristan Lincoln. Yeah. But also the ones that dance. Have you seen the dancing ones? Mm-hmm. Oh, there was this one, I think they were in either Australia or um, New Zealand. And it was just like a small car dealership, but they hired these three like professional dancers. To like just dance. All these TikTok sounds like in the parking lot of their car dealership. And people were, it was before people knew that they had been hired as what dancers. But they were like, oh my gosh, this is the best thing ever. This is so funny. This is so cool. And I'm like, I love this. Yes. Like, everybody should do this. It's so funny. Um, I follow a realtor who, yeah. Mm-hmm. She hides. Have you guys see her? Oh, is that the older lady? Yes. Okay. Yep, yep, yep. She's like, I bet you can't see where I'm hiding in this bathroom. It's right over here and she like whispers into the microphone. Yes. That's awesome. It's so funny. And have you seen the one in Texas who like runs and his tour, he like runs and screams? Yeah. It's so funny. This is the bathroom and then, and then he runs super fast and then like the cameraman can't catch up to him and then he is like humping a window. Yeah, it's, yes. Yeah. It like is goofy. It doesn't really make sense, but it just makes it fun to But you remember it. Yes. And you're like, oh my gosh, that one guy who didn't. Yeah. Yeah. I would've never watched the house tour. I know seriously on my own right? Like of just like, oh, this is the house that's for sale in Texas. Like, but it's so funny. Yeah. I love it. I just love that we're turning like kind of, I'm not saying that social media is sad. Mm-hmm But it really has like that, that side of it, that element of sadness a lot of times. Or like mean spiritedness. Uhhuh. And I love that companies are taking that and just like being like, nah, they can run with it. Nah, we're gonna be hilarious and like do cool stuff. And I just, I don't know. I love that. Yeah, that's really nice. We've talked a lot about social media and I think that's an area that never really crossed my mind. Yeah. But seeing like the party baseball thing and all these companies like's nice. Just a s brighter side of the internet. For sure. For sure. Yeah. Um, and then the last one was bands. Oh. I'm finding a ton of like emo or pop punk bands on TikTok right now. Like, I've not even kidding you. I've downloaded like the whole discography of probably like. Five bands in the last like two days. Like it's bonkers. I love that things are just like getting, I just, I don't know. I love it. The side of the algorithm is algorithmic. Yeah, it is. Yeah. It's going hard. Yeah. Hard in my ear holes for sure. But at least you know it's music that you're like, Hey, this is pretty good. Yeah, it is pretty awesome. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Love it. Love it. Nice. And then we've talked about the All American rejects, what they're doing. Yes, yes. You know, the tours. Speaking of that, who else did it? Someone else was doing it, I don't know. Um mm-hmm. No one else was doing it. And I was like, oh my gosh, that's such a good idea. Speaking of though, if you, they actually created an actual, like, webpage now for you to like, sign up your venue. Oh. Um, and so if you wanna do that. Anyone? Anyone? The surf? Um, yeah, true. Um. They have a website now, like a specific like Excel page or some kind of website thing. Mm-hmm. Where you can like sign up and stuff. So yeah, hit that up. Yeah. If you wanted to come to your town. Cool. Yeah, I was like, where can we host them here? Can we go to the park and just like, yeah. Literally fun. Literally. Yeah. So anywhere. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty cool. Cool. Yeah, that was, um. I guess I'll just, speaking of like the bands and like finding music that you like. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Um, there's been a lot of artists that have been dropping their music Mm. And they have not been doing it. Who? Uh, Lil Wayne was one. Oh, I didn't realize he was releasing anything. Yeah, he dropped like his Carter, I don't know, one album. But, uh, it flopped and it was made fun of immediately. Really? Mm-hmm. Hmm. Was it bad? I listened to it.'cause I'm like, oh my gosh. I remember Lil Wayne dropped his whole album. Yeah. I listened to it and I'm like, skip, skip, skip. Shoot. This one's okay. And then skip. And then I didn't know how I felt about this Jelly roll. Um, the Jelly Roll and Lil Wayne song. Really? People were making fun of it on TikTok. All these. Um, because the lyrics were like, sharks ain't always in the water. Okay. Snakes ain't always in the grass, okay? The no thieves ain't always in the night, and God ain't always at the altar. I'm like, oh, those are kinda interesting lyrics. Everyone was roasting them. Why? They were just making fun of jelly roll and you know, they were making fun of a jelly. Anyone who listens to Jelly Roll and why it's the internet. I don't know. I feel like that's not a good enough excuse, like people, but then I think, um, they don't like him, him and his wife because, um, they're kind of out there. Yeah, they're pretty, they touch on some controversial, they do topics. Yeah. Really. Bunny does on the, I literally don't know anything about them. Yeah. Yeah. And she has a podcast, you know, bunny funny. Exo I've heard of her, but I don't, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know what she does or the one thing that like really annoyed people about her was she wanted that Wade Wilson, a real life, Wade Wilson to come on her, her podcast, or she wanted to interview him. Who's Wade Wilson? He's a serial killer. Oh, shoot. Oh, with the face? Yeah, yeah. Face. Yep, yep, yep. Got it, got it, got it. But like, sounds, well he's got like that skull thing and, but some people, there are some people out there that think he's attractive. Oh. Um. So something happens every time that someone relatively attractive gets, and I'm like, like he's a serial killer. He murdered two women, like a pregnant woman too, wasn't it? One of'em was like a pregnant woman. Psychotic. He's goofy. Icky, yeah. But then, you know, people did not like the fact that she wanted to interview a serial killer. I'm like, well, but that's like sort of in, isn't it? Like I don't feel like, but I think, I don't know, like what's her reasoning behind wanting to interview him? Just'cause he's like, you know, if attractive, if like Dr. Phil would've, you know, if she had like a doctor degree. Exactly. So. Right. I remember Dr. Phils interviewed some serial killers. Oh yeah, for sure. They're creepy. I just heard that Kiki Palmer did an interview with, um, oh gosh, I don't remember the name of this person, but it was someone who I think was like maybe, um, like accused of rape or something like that. And, um, it just came out that she actually pulled the interview from her podcast site because people were like, how dare you, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, isn't that sort of the point though of like. I don't wanna call them journalists'cause that is a podcast. That's not what it is. But like, isn't that sort of the point of like your social media or like a podcast is to like interview people or to like have experie with different perspectives and different experiences? Right. I guess it depends on like how she's going on. Like she was supposedly was like very non-biased about it, which I mean, it's coming from her, so who knows. But it, I don't know, just like 15. But if it was like Robin Roberts or like. Someone with like a journalist, Barbara Walter background. Barbara Walter, 2020s. Right. Then people like all over it. Oh yeah. If it was a 2020 interview, then people, people would be, oh my gosh. It's kind of fun to like, uh, it's just a trendy thing and I just wanna trend. Yeah. Like the call her daddy. Yes. It's exactly what I was thinking of. Yeah. Yeah. Guys, she has a, yeah. Have you guys watched the documentary? No. No. Haven't. Wait, what documentary? Alex Cooper call her daddy. I think it's Hulu. On Hulu. Okay. I'll write that down. I did watch the Marishka Harte one, if anybody's interested in, yeah, in that. Oh, she's pretty good. Yeah. I thought it was very sad. Like her whole life story. Jane Mansfield. Yeah, her mom was her. Her mom. Yeah. And it was basically, I don't, it wasn't her whole life story or anything like that, but it was a good look into like. Who she, her persona of like the blonde bimbo versus like who she was like extremely talented. Like, yeah.'cause did she very well read? Did she do that look after Marilyn Monroe? Yes. She, like Marilyn Monroe really heavily influenced her. Okay. Yeah, because when I saw Jane's her mom, I was like, she kinda looks like she is cosplay. Yes. Marilyn Monroe. It was very much that era of film to just, yeah. Yeah. So blonde. Yes. Yeah. Cute. To get the, like ditzy, like sexualized roles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So interesting. But that was really good if anybody's interested. Marishka Harte, uh, she was on lawn order law order. SVU mm-hmm. SVU. Yep. The only one. OG Olivia Benson. Yeah. The only, the, the only one. And only the one. And only Olivia Benson. Yeah. Well. Taylor Swifts Cats named Olivia Benson, so, yep. And Meredith? Uh, yes. Gray. Yes. Oh, wow. She really, and then they were in her music video too. Mm-hmm. Blood, bad Blood, yep. For what? Oh, Maka Harte was, yes, I heard that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And her cats. Oh, okay. So Maka Maka? Yes. Maka and Meredith? Yes. Oh, Meredith was too? Mm-hmm. What's her real, Olivia Benson? No, no. She named her Cat. Olivia? No. Oh, Olivia Ellen Pompeo. Ellen peo, yes. Got it. Yep. Yeah, and I'm like, you know what? I really love that about Taylor Swift.'cause I'm like, I love those two ladies too. Yes. And then, yeah, I don't care about Alan Pompeo, but I do love Marsha Harte. I do. Yeah. I do love Law and Order recipe is like the best show ever. I just like talking about cats. How's Cat? Speaking of Cat Journey going, how's your foster cat? I've seen your last couple posts about Adam. Good. Adam is so good. Very sweet. He fits right in. Really? He, he does. Good. So you're gonna keep him? No. Oh no. Okay. Nope.'cause I'm really excited for the next foster. Like I wanna get a kitten. Oh yeah. Okay. You know, so I wanna keep foster him. So did you find Adam a home then? Okay. Nope. Older cats are hard. Older cats are hard. He's five, but he's so, he's not that old. Cuddly. Yeah. And so sweet. And he's got a nice purr to him. He like you just, he's my bathroom buddy. Like if I'm ever like on the toilet, he's right there with me and like looking for a pet and a belly scratch and That's sweet. Yeah. A little tether ball. Yeah. Mm-hmm. He's sweet. I love that. So, yep. Cats are good. Yeah. If anybody knows of anyone who's looking for a cat, Adam is top tier. Or if you're around the area and good with kids. Good with other cats. Yeah. Although him and Mittens have kind of, they have a little, mittens is such a princess though. She thinks she rules the roos'cause she was the first one there, so, oh my gosh. Speaking of Princess, I'm sorry to go back to this again, but the social media thing. Have you seen the girl on TikTok who um Yeah. Is pushing the princess treatment and she like, she has like that weird posture. Yeah. And so supposedly I just watched something about this actually before you guys got here or whatever. Um, she supposedly is like, grew up Mormon I think. And um, so that could have something to do with like her deferring to her husband type of thing. Okay. Um, I wanna see what the husband looks like. So the whole story, me too. The whole story was that she like, went to a restaurant like Applebee's or something like, and she ignored the waitress and the husband was like giving her the princess treatment and like ordered for her and did this and like, was the only one to speak to the waitress and blah, blah, blah, whatever. Like she expects her husband to, like, she didn't, I don't think she even left the car. Like, oh, if her husband wasn't gonna open the door. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like all that weird and. If someone did like a deep dive on her and I guess they like live in an apartment, they're like strictly middle class. And someone was like, dude, this is not that kind of behavior for that kind of scenario. Like mm-hmm. Yeah, people, but I don't know. But people were like kind of like making a skit, you know? They'd pretend to be the host, be like, hi, how many for you? Yeah. And then it's just silence.'cause like she's like, I will not talk to the host. That's not my job. Right. My husband can do that. Right. It's really weird. How do you guys feel about that? Would you do that? Have you done that? Do you have like expectations for like princess treatment of any kind? Never. Hannah does. I see that face. Okay. What's your princess treatment? No, that I'm young, Hannah. Okay. Like Nick, you talk to the waitress. I don't wanna talk to them. Kind of Hannah? Mm-hmm. Man. Oh no. Well, I don't know. Because this was when we first started dating. Okay. And I, I'm like, I was still kind of shy to talk to people and I'm like, Nick, you, you do it first, like you talk to them. But Nick, he wasn't very good at like, making eye contact with people. And I had to tell him like, you have to look at people in the eyes. Like you can't just like look at your, the menu and be like, I'll have a water. And like, he would never make eye contact with the waiter. I'd be like, you have to look at him, or I'm gonna have to look at him. So then like, uh, Nick got better and then I got better to like, um, break outta your shell a little bit. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But for a while I'm like, no, you talk to them. Like, I don't really want to like tell, I want appetizers. Oh, we'll have appetite. I don't know why that, but that, that was like 16-year-old. 17-year-old Hannah. Yeah. And then obviously I'm not like that anymore, but. Uh, yeah, that's definitely a, but you, that was more out of like shyness, not like I'm too good to talk to the waiter. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like it wasn't like a, I'm not talking to him, right? Like he, he is, you know, whatever. Yeah. I feel like my only expectation is like when I'm chilling and my water bottle's empty, I'm like, Calvin, get me a drink. You felt my water bottle? Like, that's basically it. I see all these husbands, like I had to, I had to drive my wife's car to like work or something, and I saw she was on EI filled up her car, saw that there was trash in her car. I cleaned that out a little bit and I'm like, not just basic, like loving gear. Okay. That's not like princess treatment. I'm like, wow. That's very nice. I don't get that. Yeah. Well he doesn't drive your car, does he? No. Yeah. I feel like whenever we see you guys out driving and it's your car, you're always the one driving. And I'm like, oh, interesting. Mm-hmm. But if we go somewhere long distance, he has to drive. Yeah. Yeah. Mm. So that's, that's funny's. But yeah, um, I've been kind of seeing her and seeing people like kind of mock her. Just whenever she calls it, but yeah. But then the way she like poses, some people are kind of worried about her health too. Oh, like, uh, not anorexia. Oh, anorexia. Gosh. Yeah. They think that she's kinda like hiding, like her weight. Oh, shoot. I didn't see anything about that. Yeah. Just, just rumors. Yeah. It, it could be nothing, but some people were kind of concerned about her health and her wellbeing. I see. Interesting. Mm-hmm. Hmm. Not good. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, princess treatment kind of goes into a little bit of social media that I have. Um, okay. Well, oh, this is so, so fun. Um, decorating sense was that it was like that nineties, like. Um, these two moms who were like, we're gonna decorate this room for under$500. Oh, yeah. And it was, are you talking about that TikTok that you sent us? Of those old ladies? Yeah. Oh my gosh. And they were like painting hardwood floors and he had looked like a rug. Yeah. The one I thought was so funny was they painted like that. Um, it's like, was it a China cabinet or a hutch or something? And then they put like Indian prayers. They put Yeah, like newspaper. They like pasted newspaper or something to it. Indian prayers. Okay. I don't know what that is, but, okay. Indian prayers. It was like paper. Oh, okay. Yeah, like it was like their bible and they just like, okay, got it. Oh, this looks nice. And then they just like, yeah, they like modge pod it on there. And then they were like, actually, we don't like this. So then they just started like stripping it off and they stopped like halfway through and they're like, we really like this look. And I'm like, did you or did you get tired? Because like same, I would be tired too, but they would love this era of like, uh, rugged rustic because like so many people wanted like those. Cabinets to have like that rustic feel. Mm-hmm. They just couldn't nail the rustic Yeah. Vibe. Yeah. But that's very like early DIY queens. So, and I love that for them. That's cool. If as long as it's your own house, whatever. No, I just don't do my house. Other people's houses. Oh no. Yeah. And then the one bathroom, they put like beanie babies in the bathroom and I'm just like, oh, that's disgusting. They would be So in the bathroom. Yeah. Germs. Yeah. Mm-hmm. So I was on that side of TikTok for a while and I like. It was so bad, but I couldn't stop watching it. Mm-hmm. And I would show Nick and he's just like having a stroke, watching this. He's like, oh my gosh, that's not how you do that. That's you're gonna ruin the outlet and the wires and blah, blah, blah. Or that's not how you Yeah, he's very, um, when I have, when I'm like, can you hang this, uh, poster up in Cutter's room? It's like he's get, he gets the laser treatment and everything. Oh my God. Make sure it's like everything's level. Mm-hmm. It like matches with the mm-hmm. Everything. Mm-hmm. And I'm just like, I'm more like, that looks about good. Yep. Just put a tack in the wall. Boom, boom. Done. No, that's hilarious. That's not how he does it. That's funny. Yeah. That is so funny. Oh, speaking of like, oh, this happened last night. We went out to eat with some friends and we were gonna go out for ice cream afterward. Her babysitter called and was like, Hey, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, what's going on? What's going on? Freaking out. Because I thought, what, like, something happened with the children because he immediately was like, I need to go home. Yeah. And I'm like, what? And I'm freaking out, like, what's going on? What's going on? Uh, my oldest clogged the toilet. Oh. And so Nick's like, oh, I guess I'm gonna go home. Like I'll go home and fix it. But like, it wasn't like water was just stuck in the toilet. It was like overflowing. Mm-hmm. So like. My babysitter and Nick were getting like these towels, and I'm like, what towel? You know me. I'm like, what towels are doing using, um, they tried to use some of the old ones, but then they had to use, some good ones had to be tossed.'cause Nick was like, they're poop. Uh, they're, you know, it was, it was poop water. Hannah, like, I'm not washing that. I was like, okay, like I was a good towel. Now you can buy new towels. Mm-hmm. There you go. So I guess Nick had to go to like Menards and like get some stuff and he was just like, he, his stress levels, he just cannot, like, I'm sure I wanna look at his order ring stat to see like how calm he was throughout the day and then just see where it spiked Spike. But like, oh my gosh, he was like running everywhere, like fans going. Like, I guess the water was like leaking through and like, oh no, in our kitchen. Oh no. So he's like freaking out about that and he's like, we're gonna have to, and I'm like, it'll be fine. It'll be fine. But like he was stressed. What? He clog it with his poop. I don't know if he like just used way too much toilet paper. Oh my gosh. How did, and he didn't notice. He didn't say anything. Who? Cutter. Yeah. He was like Lydia or you know, call her babysitter and she doesn't know to pull the thing up. Should make it stop running. I don't know. I don't, I don't know. Oh, I don't know. I don't know that she should teach her. I don't know what happened. If it's running and you can't get it unclog, you open the back. She said she tried to unclog it herself and then it just was not, she should have opened the tank and pull the things that it stops running. I don't know. Would you have known to do that? Oh no. I would not have known to do that. I don't know, Craig, or you can turn, turn the water off to the toilet. It's right there. There's a knob down there. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I say that now after I've had multiple freakouts about random things.'cause in the moment I can't think clearly and I'm psychotic. I think. So like that, that's what happens to me. Like I just kind of space and I'm like, I dunno what I'm doing. Right. I'd be a terrible like paramedic. Oh yeah. Like I had like have a cool head under pressure. Let me look at the whole situation and see what's going on. I know, yeah. Okay. Like yeah, you can't be like that. You have to be like on your feet and like immediate decisions. Yeah. So that's Nick and he was doing that and I'm like. Your heart is gonna kill you. Like stress. Well, he could be not stressed about it and still make those decisions. That's where he alters. He just needs to not have so much stress. It's one to a hundred. Like there's no in between. And so I'm just like, make sure he has good life insurance and stuff. Yeah, we do, but like, I don't know what he needs. Acupuncture or like a mediation. Like I don't know what he, acupuncture might be good. Yeah. I'm just like, whew. I'm just like doing all these, like reiki healing. Just Reiki. Yeah. I should do it to the, I've talked about it. When I went to Toledo, um, I hung out with some like old high school friends and it was great. You know, we don't talk very often or we don't see each other often, but like we just pick up mm-hmm. Where we left off. Mm-hmm. And they were the first people that I would like throw my shit, like, give shit to. And most people like, I guess that's my love language when I think about it. Like I just like. See how you can handle it. Mm-hmm. And then like you just throw it back at me and we were just throwing it back at each other to the point where like, we just seemed like an old bitter, like couple uhhuh. It's funny, but we were just like laughing and having so much fun. And my one friend, she's a massage therapist, and she was saying how like one of the girls does reiki and you know, she was kind of telling her about it a little bit.'cause she had like, I don't know what you're talking about. Okay. Uh, and she said sometimes when she gives someone a massage, and they were kind of like, mean to her, she'll like over their head as they're like face down, she'll be like, get these bad thoughts out and toss'em. And she said, all of a sudden then they're like, they're like super nice. Hmm. So she's like, maybe it works. Maybe, maybe. Oh, I, no, she doesn't have a friend that does that. Kelly. My other friend was like, her mother-in-law does reiki, and she says it gets like really powerful that the mother-in-law cries, my gosh, during session. And I'm like, damn, it's not for me. I'll tell you that. I would have to close my eyes and try not to laugh. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, I'm just not used to seeing that. Isn't that when you, like, you don't even touch the person. Mm-hmm. You just like wave your hands on the top. You just wave your hands, but Okay. But as smr, when they're like doing this, I like, I don't like that either. That like, I feel like I get goosebumps when they do that. So it's like Yeah. Just their hand movements that gets you just like Yeah.'cause they'll be like, um, it'll be like a spa or something that they're like mimicking or any something and they'll be like, okay, now I'm gonna do this. And then the like, it gives you goosebumps. That's why reason people like ASMR is'cause you can actually like feel what they're doing. Oh, I didn't know that. I just like the cliquey of everything. Oh, I don't like that either. No. I'll send you a spa one. Okay. Because it's interesting. And there's this one girl on YouTube that I follow that I really like. And if I'm like having a really hard time falling asleep, then I'll put it on. Really? Mm-hmm. Yeah. You guys gonna have to watch the video. Oh boy. I'm skeptical. But, okay. Okay. Interesting. Mm-hmm. Nope. I just like the noise. Like the, especially when they wear fake nails and they open something. Yeah. Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click. I'm surprised you don't have like a keyboard. Well, you don't have a computer do you? For you. I know how to use it. Oh, I was gonna say, but like I did, I was, I was on keyboard as smr. Yeah. Yeah. And like the differences between the cliques. Yes. Mm-hmm. Oh my gosh. I love that. And I'm like, oh yeah. Even like pen TikTok. I mean Yeah. Just like watching all the pen movement. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I dunno. I'm just like, this is nice. Mm-hmm. Satisfying. It's nice. Yeah. Yeah. Who knew? Who knew? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But Toledo was great. Um. They were kinda Did you drive or fly? We flew. You flew? Yeah. Um, but they were kinda, her and her husband were kind of trauma dumping everything that happened, like crime wise. Oh, oh my gosh. Yeah.'cause this Ohio, right? They're a little, it's a little scutty. It's a little rough. Um, so. She's like, definitely don't keep anything in my car because I don't want my car smashed. I'm like, damn. Like it's just a, it's, it's a whole different world when I go to some place that's like that. Mm-hmm. You wouldn't think that Ohio would be so mean. They have high crime areas. That's wild. Yeah. We had to be, um, picked up in Detroit Airport, so it was about an hour away from her. Mm-hmm. And I'm like, wow. Okay. D town. Yeah. Mm-hmm. And I, all I kept thinking about was like eight mile, but she's, I don't know, I don't know if she's really experienced Detroit like that, but she said Ohio is one of those, like, you have to keep up with the speed.'cause she, she drives like crazy anyway, but like, she's like, yeah, I was going like 85 and someone just passed. Or not 85, like, uh, maybe like 75. And like people just like. We'll just pass you going faster. Mm-hmm. And she's like, you have to like, it's not Iowa. Like you gotta keep up with the speed or you're gonna piss people off. Mm. And I'm like, I would not survive. Mm-hmm. No, no. I don't like driving fast. No, I don't either. It's scary. Mm-hmm. Um, but yeah, she was, uh, trauma dumping on like everything that's happened crime wise. And then we went and saw this really cool park that had this really cool splash pad. Because it wasn't like a normal splash pad. It looked like, like it was a cave and like the, the rock formations. Oh, cool. Had like a cool stream. Yeah. I think I saw, did you put on your story? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I think I saw that and I was like, oh, that's cool. Like, so all these kids were like, I tried not to take pictures of kids obviously, but like the stream was maybe like this deep, so you could just like walk through the water with your feet and everything. And there's like this giant boulder that has like this giant waterfall. It was just so cool. And then they had like an inclusive park right there too. They had a nice trail and then they had like this huge, um, outdoor roller rink. Cool. Because they were like, I would love that They were bumping like awesome music. You were roller skates in your cars too. Like two thousands. You never know when you need them. Yeah. Two thousands music. And she said in the wintertime they'll turn it into ice and you can just go ice skating. Oh, that's cool. Nice. And I'm like, that's very cool, man. I wish we had something like that here. I know. Yeah, I know. Someone's gotta pay for it. Maybe can. You can do it. Maybe you can buy a place and do it. I just like the splash pad. I just thought that was so cool. Because even if you didn't wanna play in it, you could just look at it and you know, just like a cool, it's relaxing. Like a little water feature type of thing. Yeah. It was very like, yeah, I just loved it. Loved everything about it. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So lots of water. I didn't realize. Yeah. Yeah.'cause you went to what Lake? Erie. Erie. It's called Luna Pierre. Mm-hmm. They have these nasty ass bugs. They're called Mayflies. Mm-hmm. Oh, sure. They have'em in Clear Lake. What? Mm-hmm. Really? Mm-hmm. Look, they're spring and fall, I believe They're only for like a few weeks out of the year, but they're so gross. Yeah. Like they don't even have a warm everywhere and they, there's like thousands, millions bajillions of'em. Yeah, but I don't, I think she told me that she, they don't even have a mouth. They literally just breed and die. That's, yeah. Their lifespan is like, the whole season of Mayflies is only like a couple weeks long in the spring and then in the fall. Hmm. But like it's super freaking gross. They were everywhere. Mm-hmm. And like they stick to you. Yep. It's disgusting. Yep. They're so nasty. I didn't know Clear Lake had'em. Mm-hmm. Because when we go to school, the school's not far from the Lake Uhhuh and they're everywhere. It's disgusting. Yeah. So gross. Yep. They're in your car, you get, they're on your car on the front of the building. They were caked. Yes. Caked on all these buildings. And I'm like, what? And they fly like idiots. They just like fly willy-nilly. It's like they don't have any brain at all. No. And they like. Last year. Oh my gosh, it was so gross. I was picking up the kids from school and it was may fly season, and one got stuck in my chapstick and I was just like, oh, so freaking gross. Ew. Oh, it's so nasty. They're the grossest. Yeah. And they get so many that they have to like literally take a snowplow to like push'em, scrape it off the road. Mm-hmm. Because if they die, like in big piles like that, it gets oily and slick and like you can spin out, oh my gosh, what the hell? I've never. Realize that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Kelly heard of May Kelly wanted to say the Mayflower. That's so funny. Yeah, we just laugh so much. It was awesome. Yeah, that's good. I have all these jokes, all these inside jokes now. Good. Um, in the pool,'cause Kim, she lives in an apartment and there's like a community like apartment pool. That's awesome. This little girl, she was like doing flips or whatever. She looked at Kim and I and it was like, do you guys wanna watch me do a back flip? And Kim just immediately, no thanks, really? Are you serious? Kelly is dying laughing.'cause she's like, oh my God, I can't believe you said that. You know?'cause we're moms like, and Kim's, you know, you know, no kids yet, so she's just like, no. She's like, I feel like that little girl would keep doing it. Oh, for sure. So if, yeah, if, if she's asking strangers to pay attention to her, she's probably not getting it. Like the attention that she wants. Well, she was with the babysitter, or I think an older looking sister, but like the older sister just kind of made a face like, Hmm, okay. Well, I mean, you know, I appreciate the honesty, to be honest. So, yeah. So she didn't bother us anymore. Aw. But I think that's what she was like, no, we wouldn't. She was still, you'd have to continue talking to her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, okay. But like she is just that person. Yeah. Good for her. It's funny. Hilarious. And then we went out to eat at a restaurant, and Kelly, she loves to eat, so she ordered like, uh, like tater tots as an appetizer. Oh. It was like a, at a like a Mexican place. So like, it was like the Mexican tater tots. Oh, the Tachos. Tachos, okay. Yeah. Tater tot nachos. For anybody who's not familiar, the bowl was like this big. Oh, there was three tater tots in it and then like the dressing and like the salsa or whatever on the side. That's it. Yeah. And it was like five or six bucks. Oh my gosh. And when we got in the car, you know, Kelly was kind of quiet. She's like, you know, for five or$6, I felt like I shoulda have had to five or six tater toss. Yeah. And Kim again out of, you know, left field. Yeah. Even Napoleon Dynamite's pocket had more data. I was dying. I was like, Kim, you were so funny. And it was just a great time. We were just laughing. That's awesome. All weekend. Yeah. Good. That's good. A good mom girls weekend, little retreat. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Yeah. That's awesome. Mm-hmm. What have you been up to? Issa baseball? Uh, how's that going? Good. It's done. Oh yeah. It was a short season. Uh, no, it took the whole month. Yeah, but that's like only a month. I know, but it was long. I guess I'm thinking like adult season is like five months or whatever. It's Yes. No, no. A little league is. A little bit shorter. Mm-hmm. And, um, at the last game, Anders loves baseball. He loves to pretend to play baseball. We'll have to like pretend throw balls at him and he'll take and he'll cute swing, and then he'll run bases and all of that stuff. And I woke him up from a nap to go to the last game. And we got there. And the whole time he just sat on me and was so sad. He goes, mom, I wanna play baseball. Aw mom, I wanna play baseball. I wanna play baseball. And he was just so sad about the whole game because he wanted to play baseball. Mm. So. If anybody knows of the, he's too little, like toddler league, let us know. Call started. You need, do you have one of those, um, like at home teas for your Yep, we do. Okay, good, good, good. Yeah. And he plays with it all the time. Like that kid's gonna be on the Savannah bananas. He could be, yeah. He could be a party animal or a firefighter person or whatever. Yeah. Well, what are the firefighters doing? Same, it's just the league. They have a league baseball League. League is called the Firefighters. Yeah. Oh yeah. Baseball. Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. I'm sure there's other ones too. Those are just like the main three that I. That I got. Oh my gosh. Speaking of, I forgot, now that I said firefighters, this came into my mind. Have you guys seen the fire stations too? And like the police officers that have been like, mm-hmm. So the city of Savage, I have no idea where that is, but it's like Savage City Fire Department, Savage City Police Department. They have huge, hilarious TikTok accounts. They're so funny. What else do you do in downtime? You know, I mean, if you're not catching criminals, not fighting fires like making tiktoks. Yeah. See the hot, like the nurses were trying to do fun stuff like that, but then the comment sections were like, yeah, I'm in the waiting room guys. I'm in the waiting room. I'm need you. Right. It's different when you're like, I get, maybe police is different, but like firefighters, like what else do you do? You're just chilling if there's no fighters. Yeah, you're chilling. Maybe for 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours. There was like a, a local town, I don't know what town was doing it, but they had like AI firefighters Oh gosh. But like with their hometown on it, like, come see, come have breakfast with the firefighters. But like they were, it was a total AI of like all these like six pack Oh. As firefighters. And then there was like one fatty in the middle. Oh no. And the comments were so, I don't know if they were like trying to, you know, do that like. Just do the AI thing. Yeah. Just to get people interested and like, or get like a couple laughs or like funny. Yeah. Right. Yeah. That's funny. Yeah. That's funny. That's funny. So they're all, they're all taken out. Yeah, that's true. That's true. They're all taken out. I'm into this. I'm into this like new hilarious new me at least. Yeah. Social media, that's just all be funny. The world would be so much better if we just all were funny. Mm-hmm. What a great life, man. Yeah. Speaking of fun, um, we went to a Dan Go concert. Oh yeah? Yeah. Um, it was good. Uh, he lip synced and Really? Yeah, because he's probably out of breath'cause he's like running around stuff that night. I think they have to keep it like at a certain like, oh, volume or something for like, I mean it's children. Yeah. And there was the sweet couple right behind us, you know?'cause I took my babysitter, Lydia, um, because Nick was gone. And I didn't wanna go to Minneapolis by myself. Yeah, yeah. So she came and she was like, Cassius doesn't look like he's kind of enjoying it. And I'm like, oh shoot. Do you think it's too loud? The people behind us were like, Hey, does he want, um, our headphones? And they had like little toddler headphones. Mm-hmm. I just thought that was so sweet. It was sweet. I was like, Aw. He kept it on for like 0.3 seconds. So that took it off. Took him off, yeah. And I was like, I think he's done with these, but thank you so much. But then he started like letting loose a little bit and dancing. But um, yeah, lip-syncing. I didn't think that would ever bother me. Like, I never knew why like people got upset when artists did it, because in my head I'm like, well, they showed up and they performed. Maybe they, you know, they have a cold or something. But no, that kind of bothered me a little bit that he was just like. Just the audio was louder and like they turned the mic off and he was just like acting like he was like singing, dancing. And I'm like, the kids probably didn't, no, kids would never notice that. Yeah. So the whole concert was going great until there's like a snowball song. So some of the people were starting to throw snowballs in the crowd. It was literally just like a cotton, I don't know, A little heavier cotton ball. Yeah. Cutter didn't get one. Start freaking out and crying. I get a snowball and I'm like, there was one more song left. And I'm like, and he just like would not stop crying'cause he didn't get a snowball. And I'm like, just, it's almost done. Just enjoy it. I'll buy you 20 snowballs. Just enjoy the rest of the concert. No, but I think he said something like, go buy one like immediately. And I'm like, no, no, no. Or like. Cutter. Sometimes you don't get things and he is like, I always get things. And I'm like, shit. Like not to start telling you no. Or like Nick, he's the one that's like, I'll get him anything he wants. So I'm like, no, like you can't keep doing that. So he is just like, you know that, I mean, he doesn't realize that's like not a behavior to have. Mm-hmm. So I'm always like, you know what, grandma Linda never bought me anything as a kid. I didn't have any toys growing up. You are that parent that's like, I walked uphill to school five miles each way in the blizzard. Like, you're that parent I am. And yeah. And Nick's just like, no, anything for my princes. When we have gone out to like, okay, so there's been, I don't remember where we were any of these times, but like we've went to like the roller rink with you guys or like Pizza Ranch, like to their whatever place and like our, like we're poor. Like we can't afford to spend like$8,000 on like game cards or toys or whatever. Anyways. And then we'll see like Nick come out and each of the boys have like three stuffed animals each, and we're, and our kids are like. What is happening? Like how did they get that? And we're just like, geez. Okay. I know. So I know. I'm like, it really is like, it's legitimately Nick buys them. It's Nick anything. Yeah. Cutters into Minecraft. So guess what Nick did? Well, I was in Toledo. He bought them Minecraft backpacks on Amazon. Yeah. And I'm like, they had backpacks, a baby shark and a Disney one. Mm. No. They need like, he's the one that spoils them. Mm-hmm. And I'm like, Nick, stop. I should just have my boys go live with my mom for like mm-hmm. A week. Yep. No ac, no fat, no ac. No, she has like a window ac. Oh my God. But like growing up I did not have ac No. My dad was a farmer. He didn't wanna go like from cold to hot to cold to hot, to cold to hot. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. He just like neutral. I mean, we. Uh, a ceiling fan was all we had. Mm-hmm. Oh my gosh. Mm-hmm. I would die. I think that's why I'm so lazy, because I just didn't wanna work too hard, so I don't wanna sweat, so I just stayed inside. Stand still. Yeah. So I'm like, and no fast internet. She will make them work. Like go rock pick. Go pick sticks. And. You just have to make your own fun. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So I think I need to just help. They need to have, um, they need to like grandma school every summer. Yeah. Like one week out of the summer, go be with grandma for the week. Mm-hmm. Go like, have school time with grandma. Mm-hmm. Work hard. Go actually, like, I mean, they love picking rocks and picking sticks because to them it's fun, right? But they don't realize like, no, like that's malarkey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This was a chore growing up. Yeah. I hated the summers growing up. Yeah. Did you ever have to pick rock? Oh yeah. Yep. I hated, oh yeah. I was always in the field and I was just getting so mad. I'm like, I wish we lived in town. I'd be at the pool. I. You know, I got paid. I got paid to do it. Pretty decent kid. But no, it was my parents. We picked rock a couple times, so I think like. You know, just the bare minimum. Yeah. Yeah. Otherwise I would be, I would understand if they're like, why would we pay you? When I bought a CD player one time with my rock picking money. Nice. Yeah. I was living the high life. Yeah. That's awesome. What was your, what was your CDs that you grew up with listening to? Um, Tim McGraw had a CD that my, I stole from my sister Heck that had Cheese Me Can Rain. I love that song. Yes. Um, and then, uh. Britney Spears? Mm-hmm. Yes. Which one? I can't remember. It's the one where she's wearing like a fuzzy top pink. Is that the one with the, the school girl uniform? I, is that, is it that one? I think so. So her first album, something about Pink fuzz. She had the pink F um, she had like the pink fuzzies in her hair. I think that's what I'm remembering. Yeah. That's her first album. Yeah. Um. I can't really remember. And then, oh, of course we'd burn our own CDs. Oh, heck yeah. Yeah. From Limewire. Mm-hmm. Yeah. We had Napster or something back in the day and Catherine would get like free songs of just like all genres. Yep. So we'd have like random, like EDM songs or something. And it was just like I had, whatever I had, whatever my older brothers downloaded. So there was a lot of like blue October, that's how I got into my chemical romance. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's like, um, a lot of the emo I did. When YouTube came out. YouTube to MP three converter. Yes. So like there was always like a weird ad or like a weird like dj, like DJ Blunts blah blah blah. And then it went to the song. Yes, that's what I had. Yeah. That's funny. But I'm like, I'm not paying whatever songs were 25 cents a dollar 25. I had no idea. 99 cents for maybe iTunes back in the day. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm paying that. Yeah. So that's why we have Apple Music now, because I download a lot of music and it would probably like, yeah. Ooh, you love Apple Music. It's like$10 a month or something. Mm-hmm. And it pays for itself within like. A day. Ly. Yeah, A day. Absolutely. YouTube music over here. I know you and your YouTube stuff, but like we have YouTube premiums, so like it comes with, its, so I'm like, well, might as well just use it. Yeah. Makes sense. Mm-hmm. For sure. Yeah. Um, I have a thought. Okay. There's a lot we haven't covered. I know, I know. 49 minutes. We're already, yeah, we're already at like 49 minutes. We can make like a part two of this episode. Okay. So. Maybe end and then yeah, continue pick out. Okay. Yeah. All right. Great. Cool. This has been Hannah and Issa and Sarah. Bye.
