Speaker 2:Welcome to the Green Onions podcast. I am Common Sense Girl and this is.
Speaker 1:Noah.
Speaker 2:This is the podcast where we throw out a little nonsense.
Speaker 1:A whole lot of sense.
Speaker 2:And a little bit of laughter.
Speaker 1:Oh, chuckle, chuckle. That was bad. Let me read Okay, do it one more time. No, I can just free ball it now.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's it oh, welcome everyone the mess of a show oh my goodness, no, how's it going well I'm unpacking the studio.
Speaker 1:We have so many christmas decorations. The reindeer haven't come in yet. Marco isn't? It's just a big fiasco over here. There's no snow machine.
Speaker 2:How is Marco doing?
Speaker 1:He's okay, it's just, you know the snow machine. Have you ever seen the Drake and Josh movie? Mm-hmm. Do you know the Christmas one? Yes, where they live in California and then they get the wood chipper and then they put the logs in and it creates snow like a snow-like thing. That's what we got. We actually got the one from the movie and it's just, it's a big setup.
Speaker 2:It's taking too much time Time out. Do we even have that in the budget? Like I was totally all down up until I thought about it.
Speaker 1:Actually, I completely take that bit back, because I just realized the whole dan schneider thing. I'm not going to be associated with that at all. Well, it is getting into christmas, though.
Speaker 2:I'm starting to feel the spirit me too I'm very grinchy normally but I think I don't know. I'm trying not to be as Grinchy, but I love the Grinch, I ain't gonna lie, I love it Before the show.
Speaker 1:Last week I bought the Charlie Brown record and I've been playing that over and over again. But before the show we were pouring a Coke. What did they do?
Speaker 2:They took the polar bear off and they put on the Santa and I believe the Santa started in the 70s on the can, the Santa for Christmas, Because you know, Coke always has those very classic cans.
Speaker 1:I do like the new can, but now that you bring up the polar bear he's like a forgotten friend and I miss him.
Speaker 2:I do miss him.
Speaker 1:They need a different collab, like a different and like what would be another animal that we could put on the coke can to symbolize christmas time. Why have they never used a reindeer?
Speaker 2:bump that reindeer. It was just rude. It was just rude and he needed this. He needed the magic of Santa to fly. They only used his nose. Now we got flashlights and cell phones. You better put that cell phone down.
Speaker 1:We gotta put this stuff on the Christmas episode. Write down for next episode reindeer food.
Speaker 2:Reindeer food.
Speaker 1:Reindeer food.
Speaker 2:Reindeer food Okay.
Speaker 1:Alright. If any of the white people, as listeners, know what I'm talking about, they do, do you?
Speaker 2:okay, we'll talk about it on the looking forward to the christmas episode it was like any of the white people, right, because, uh, we don't, we don't know that like yeah reindeer food um well, you mean the apples of the deer that's in my front yard. I don't know.
Speaker 1:Everything with my family around every holiday was a tradition. Also write down for next week how old I was until I stopped believing in Santa. If you heard that sentence, tune in, because that's a whole thing. Oh my gosh, I was getting in fights in school.
Speaker 2:I love how he's planning for the next episode.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry and he hasn't even. Forward thinker.
Speaker 2:Apparently. I mean you forward thinking like a whole nother week or two Time, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Time flies when you're having fun. It's good to watch paint dry if it's the Sistine Chapel.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if it's the Sistine Chapel.
Speaker 1:Sistine.
Speaker 2:Sistine.
Speaker 1:Like in Rome.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, gotcha.
Speaker 1:That was. I don't know where that came from.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:All right, should we get into the opener of the day?
Speaker 2:Yes, I don't know. Alright, should we get into the opener of the day? Yes, give the people what they. Potentially probably want A little food for thought.
Speaker 1:The food for thought today.
Speaker 2:Everybody is baking their cookies.
Speaker 1:Right now, just getting it out of the way, I do want to do a massive shout out To my Aunt, melissa. Yeah, she gave me her Spotify wrapped and we were number two of her top three podcasts, so can we give a? Yeah, melissa, this is absolutely for you and thank you, and I love you so much she's probably the only one that's on the thing I know casen told me today when we were playing basketball.
Speaker 1:He said uh, I'm almost caught up and I was like we're recording one today, so you better hurry up almost caught up. He's been almost caught up since first I know not like he has a job or anything, but you know no big deal.
Speaker 2:My husband's not caught up at all, I have to remind me he's like I will say my mom is the only one that's like every single one.
Speaker 1:She just walks around the park. It's very sweet, she walks around the park, but we's very sweet. She walks around the park moving her ear, but we're also really thankful for the people that casually put us in whenever they get the chance. But to be on Spotify wrapped on podcast is pretty cool.
Speaker 2:I know right.
Speaker 1:Okay, today from the Daily Stoic, the reading, of course, is from Ryan Holiday and Stefan Hanselman. Today is from Ryan Holiday and Stefan Hanselman Today. Let me get a deep breath. I always get so worked up.
Speaker 2:You do.
Speaker 1:Should we do some Lamaze breathing?
Speaker 2:And you know what makes it worse. Neither one of us had a kid, so I don't know why we're I hope I don't have a kid. You better not If you're the one having a kid we need to worry, we're rich, I think we've.
Speaker 1:I think we've already fleshed out how I feel about that um beforehand. Let's not talk about that on the microphone. Uh, december 6th, from the Daily Stoic, the sword dangles over you. This quote by Marcus Rullis in Meditations Don't behave as if you are destined to live forever. What's faded hangs over you as long as you live and while you can become good.
Speaker 1:Now, and the quote from Ryan Holiday is there's an ancient story of a courtier C-O-U-R-T-I-E-R. Okay, let me start that over and I'll say courtier, I don't know. There's an ancient story of a courtier who had made light of the responsibilities of his king. To prove he was mistaken, the king arranged to switch places with the courtier so he could experience what it was like to be king. The king made one other adjustment he hung a sword by a hair over the throne to illustrate the peril and burden of kingship, as well as the constant fear of assassination.
Speaker 1:We call that dangling reminder of death and difficulty the sword of domiciles. The reality is that a similar sword hangs over all of us. Life can be taken from us at any moment, and that threat can send us in one of two directions we can fear and dread it, or we can use it to motivate us To do good and to be good, because the sword is dangling and there's nothing else to be concerned with. Would you rather it catch you in the middle of something shameful and a selfish act, or would you rather it catch you waiting to be good in the future? Waiting to be good in the future. Waiting to be good in the future, me duh I don't want to be in a shameful act.
Speaker 1:Can you imagine I cry it's, it's the it's the fundamental kaizen thing too, that one percent better each day there we we go, noah, welcome back. It's been a week.
Speaker 2:Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1:Did that sound better? Yes, I stumbled over that one sentence.
Speaker 2:It was probably quite clear.
Speaker 1:I hope that word is the word that it actually is. I hope that word is the word that the word is. I hope that word is the word that the word actually wording I don't know okay, I was talking to ryan the other day and I was like yes, you were, I always just like I'll start a bit and then it's like a lily pad for me.
Speaker 1:So I'll say like one joke, and then that'll be like the initial lily pad, and then I'll like find the joke along the way. So I'll keep reiterating the same joke until I get to like the end destination lily pad. That's like the final joke. And he's like yeah, you just take us along for the ride, it's great.
Speaker 2:Pretty much. That's exactly how it does happen.
Speaker 1:It's fun. I think as a kid I hit like a point of you know how like one-liners are. Very like I think I've hit. A point in my life is now where, like I can fill enough space and as soon as I like see people's eyes start to glaze of like where they think I'm going, I'll hit them with it and they'll be like oh okay, I get it.
Speaker 1:They're like yeah that's where we were going the whole time. I don't know why we veered off in so many different uh exits. But okay, there we are summer 2025 norris comedy tour.
Speaker 2:It is hitting your city. Check your local box office for tickets.
Speaker 1:Yep. We'll be performing in Reno, Uruguay.
Speaker 2:Damn, reno, damn, we couldn't get Vegas.
Speaker 1:No, not yet I was like ew Reno. We couldn't get the Dome yet they're on the line, okay.
Speaker 2:Oh my goodness, so Noah, my belly's full. That was good. Oh yes, we had some chicken and some artichoke.
Speaker 1:I feel like I have stuff to burn now in my body.
Speaker 2:It's great yeah, noah cooked a really good meal this is one of the lower maintenance.
Speaker 1:We need to put a picture of it up on the like. Just the two things we had. We need to do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that'll be, but it's definitely like something with the ammages yeah, yeah, we told her, we cooked the meal I was like no, it cooked it yeah you don't kill the chicken at all kill the chicken at all. Pluck that mofo. No, what is something you look forward to every day?
Speaker 1:um, well, I look forward to every day. Well, uh, probably at the end of the year or that. Well, now, I think it's different the yearly, so I feel like I'm trying to find some sort of momentum right now to like roll over into 2025. Yep, um, so that, what was the question?
Speaker 2:what is something you look forward to every day?
Speaker 1:right now, every day, I'm looking forward to building up that momentum, and I think that it's mundane and it's monotonous, but it's something I got to do right now Building up that resilience and momentum into a year that I want to put 100% into, because I feel like for a lot of my life I haven't put in nearly as much as I could have.
Speaker 1:So that's fair which, at 25, you're kind of like fucking, I mean being stupid yeah but, yeah, I just want to work out all the wrinkles before everybody else did, so I can like flick them all off and be like I I got it. No, I'm joking, I'm doing it for me.
Speaker 2:One percent better right. What about you, anna? For me it's kind of similar because I have a few things popping off in 2025.
Speaker 1:I'm just going to start doing ad-libs over here.
Speaker 2:I so. But as of right now, 2024, what I have looked forward to every day besides, you know, just waking up and getting that wake-up call is being able to start all over, because when you have been around kids when they were newborn babies, and you see them grow or you've been part of their growth, it's a whole lot different than when you get kids that you've never been around with and they have their own traits in life yeah and so I know personally I have not handled that 100 the best um, and I'm not a gentle parenter.
Speaker 2:However, I have two different kids with two different personalities, so some need gentle, some needs yeah and so yeah, and I have been all the time, so I need to meow some of the time. So that is what I've been looking forward to every day starting over and regrouping, and in 2025, I'm gonna be a meow kind of parent kind of like a more self-reflection.
Speaker 1:I I think yeah, I've never been one, but I feel like there's just a lot of. If it was a play, it's a run and gun. You don't get it, you just go and obviously hindsight's, 20-20.
Speaker 2:And I think you're doing a great job is my point.
Speaker 1:Yes, there's stuff you can fix, but it's not even fixing. It's self-reflecting and trying to make better and it's always going to be that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Dang.
Speaker 2:That was so good. I'm killing this today. You are, I'm in Chop, chop, chop yeah.
Speaker 1:Locked in.
Speaker 2:he's back crisis over the audience is like what happened he's so deep.
Speaker 1:I'm like Socrates without the little boy touching. Did he touch little boys?
Speaker 2:I was gonna just ask you.
Speaker 1:I'm Socrates without that.
Speaker 2:I'm like is that Diddy's ancestor? What is the deal? But yeah, so you know y'all we have decided to do it's kind of like a segment, but it's weird news around the world.
Speaker 1:And I haven't heard any of these, so I'm very excited.
Speaker 2:It's a funny story. I never heard any of them either, oh.
Speaker 1:That was anticlimactic, I think In some universe. I think that was a little anticlimactic well, here's the reality.
Speaker 1:So unless I'm like doing something for work or for here, I don't watch the news or read the news, like me neither I always remember the runaway music video with kanye west, where the first time he talks to that little bird swan looking thing and she's watching the news he turns off the TV and he goes. Rule number one about this world baby, never believe what's on the news. And then one song plays. I don't know if that's the exact line. It's not verbatim, but it's a very. Watch the Runaway music video. It's on YouTube. It's like 30 minutes. Beautiful, dark twist and fantasy. His best album before he went. Well, wait, is there a beat button before?
Speaker 1:we're not that high class yeah, we don't actually have a beat but we're not there yet.
Speaker 2:We're not there yet. We are the noise. Okay, so this is. Philadelphians will channel their inner italian stallion at rocky adrian Adrian lookalike contest. These mofos ain't got nothing else better to do with their time, clearly already.
Speaker 1:Wait where.
Speaker 2:Philadelphia, they call them Philadelphians.
Speaker 1:Oh no, I know I'm from Pennsylvania. Oh gosh, they're doing a Rocky lookalike contest.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And with that much snow it must be really depressing out there this time of year. Not enough people are going to the Liberty Bell.
Speaker 2:They need to do something. They need to do something else. This is corny.
Speaker 1:I remember going when I was a kid. It was cool, but we always went for like history stuff. I was like every museum that I don't remember. I remember a lot of them that I don't remember.
Speaker 2:I remember a lot of them. I don't remember. I remember the history, but not so much like in the museum. I can't tell you oh, I see this painting there.
Speaker 1:I can't tell you that I remember seeing the Liberty Bell and being like do they know it's cracked. I was that young so I'm pretty sure I could get more out of coming. I mean, why is there a rope around it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a big bell. But there's a butt crack on it.
Speaker 1:That's a normal kid mentality, thought Not even a straight butt, crack like a crooked one, so let me read this.
Speaker 2:couples who look awkward on skates and on dates can celebrate their cute clumsiness clumsiness on philadelphia's rocky fest on friday, which is today okay, wait okay. If it's a rocky fest, I'm in hold your horses, you might not be in your when are we getting the first paragraph?
Speaker 1:you?
Speaker 2:might feel some type of way later on.
Speaker 2:Features a Rocky and Adrian look-alike contest. Adrian, I love you. The evening event at the University of Pennsylvania's 1923 Ice Rink is meant to echo the pair's first date in the classic 1976 film. First date in the classic 1976 film. Rocky never actually duns ice skates in the scene, but instead shuffles alongside his best friend, pauline's sister, as she tries to stay upright. The winners will get dinner at South Philadelphia's iconic Victor Cafe, where the servers along sing opera, along with a hotel stay and a $250 certificate for a Rocky themed gift shop. They can only buy one damn item in that shop, I promise you.
Speaker 1:Honestly, can I be honest? You can finish the article, but I don't like this is good for Philadelphia. I don't think they have anything going for them tourist wise other than the Sixers. I'm serious, at this time of year nobody's going to it's so cold. Think they have anything going for them? Tourist wise other than the sixers? I'm serious, at this time of year nobody's going to it's so cold other than the sixers. But they suck right now too. So it's like let them have rocky fest next. Next weird news no, we're gonna continue to read this.
Speaker 2:they are no. Philadelphia served as a backdrop to the popular Rocky franchise, something the city is celebrating nearly 50 years later with a five-day festival that grew out of the inaugural Rocky Day last year. The events this week have included a mural unveiling movie Mary movie marathons cool talks on the enduring appeal of the sylvester stallone character and a bus tour of favorite scenes cool meanwhile, a second cast of the rocky statue was unveiled at the top of the rocky steps at the philadelphia museum of art also cool the original was featured in rocky 3 and will remain there through December 31st.
Speaker 2:I want to go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I said at the beginning.
Speaker 2:This statue represents everything that the Rocky film stands for Resilience, heart and the unbreakable bond between Rocky and the people of Philadelphia.
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:Andrew Stallone said in a statement I like that story. I didn't think it was statement. I like that story. I didn't think it was weird. I like that story too.
Speaker 1:I should have probably read it first. That wasn't weird enough.
Speaker 2:No, it wasn't weird, I was thinking Dinkelberg was weirder. Oh Lord, oh Lord.
Speaker 1:I don't have it pulled up, everybody, it's okay.
Speaker 2:But yes, yes so.
Speaker 1:Boom.
Speaker 2:What's next? You got a question for me.
Speaker 1:I might, I might. Can I just say I got the Party Pack Haritos last week when I went to the grocery store Because I'm trying to Segment my sugar For reasons I don't want to explain, and I tried Every Haritos flavor and this is the last one. Last one was Guava, because I liked how it looked pink. What was my second favorite? Just a Harito's tier list Top three.
Speaker 2:Mine is pineapple, pineapple.
Speaker 1:I loved pineapple and orange. I loved mango. I hope that's one. You mean mandarin Turmeric was weird. I liked pineapple, I do like the guava and I liked watermelon. I think I like fruity shit. I'm not fruity, but I like fruity shit. Well, I can sometimes. Never mind I mean all of them are fruits. Well, turmeric's a fruit, well it's not a fruit that one looks like pit, Like not even pit.
Speaker 2:But you know turmeric's very healthy for you.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:I mean, it helps your liver.
Speaker 1:I like the sugar in those, it's like cane.
Speaker 2:Yeah, turmeric helps your liver and you can cook with it too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it didn't taste terrible, it was just the color is why I drank it first. It looked.
Speaker 2:I only like two flavors the mandarin orange and pineapple. That's it.
Speaker 1:I liked pineapple.
Speaker 2:I liked mango, I love pineapple everything.
Speaker 1:What is both a blessing and a curse In your life, um.
Speaker 2:My wisdom and discernment and I don't say that to be cocky, so now I know it is Considered wisdom and discernment. So and I don't say that to be cocky, shay, shay, so now I know it is it's considered wisdom and discernment. However, I did not know that when I was a kid Um, and now that I'm older, and even when I was a kid, like it would get me kind of in some trouble with other kids because they're just like you're reading me, and it's not that I'm reading them, but it's just this. I don't want to say I can see the future, but it's just like this wisdom, I can see the future.
Speaker 1:Wait, is that a Travis Scott line? But I just I can see the future.
Speaker 2:We're looking up the meadows to the sky, this walking CD player over here, this walking CD player. My aunt would always Aunt Cheryl CD player.
Speaker 1:My aunt would always Aunt Cheryl. Anytime you'd say something, she'd just start singing what you just said back to you like in a song, and I always loved her for that.
Speaker 2:I mean, she's still alive, and it's probably like on point too, Like it's a good beat, so good, and her voice was amazing.
Speaker 1:I was just like how are you doing this? How did your mind work that fast? And I think that's probably why I do it now, because I like revered it so much as a kid Not to cut you off. Continue, yes.
Speaker 2:I mean, but no, yes, you do, do that all the time, not cut me off.
Speaker 1:But Well, I think we both do. We find our pockets.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's our charm.
Speaker 1:It really is.
Speaker 2:It's like what's the conversation between us with no cutting off? What's the conversation between us with no cutting off? But I think it's a blessing, yeah exactly that's what I'm kidding. I think it's a blessing but it's also a curse, Especially when you're trying to tell someone something and they're just kind of like I don't understand. And it's like you get flustered, Like how the hell you don't understand what I'm telling you, Like you don't see it. You don't see it, you don't see it, but it's because I have that futuristic little.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2:Vision and it's kind of wild Because I don't know. We were talking about something a few months ago and I was like, yeah, and you're just like, how do you know?
Speaker 1:I'm like I just know Like I mean.
Speaker 2:granted, you were okay with me, just saying I know you didn't go deep and just be like oh she doesn't know, but there's idiots who do, and it's just like well, it's also sometimes I probably know, but I try.
Speaker 1:I think I'm holding out hope for it to end up a little different. Do you ever do that?
Speaker 2:yeah, I can see you doing that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it never does.
Speaker 2:And auntie just sits here and I'm just like okay.
Speaker 1:Not coming back to the existential podcast last week. That's what that one's called and it'll never come out. The existential crisis. You never know you never know, I'm never going to listen to it. No, but Blessing and a Curse for me, probably the Way I think. I think I don't know. I think Way I like, how I think on some days and then other days I don't know why I'm doing it like I should have.
Speaker 1:Like how you think too hard on certain situations like I tell myself I should have done this, I should have done that yesterday. I dub myself all the time coulda, shoulda, woulda but I think I'll always like, subconsciously, do that. It's gonna be wanting to move forward. Um, not hearing it as loud, uh, and that's my thing. My brain even that like me tailing off into whatever I was just talking about then answers the primary question. It's just like how I think. I think I find rabbit holes very easily.
Speaker 2:You try to Because you do, you do. I definitely will say you definitely doubt yourself a lot, even when you're making the right decision. That's why yeah.
Speaker 1:Yesterday perfect example Made the right decision, but yeah, yesterday, perfect example made the right decision, but yeah, you were like wow and it was like oh my god, oh, my, god, oh my god, oh, my goodness, fucking catheter fell out and yeah, now okay, I slept fine last night I'm not gonna lie that one did not keep me up but it took me leaving the situation to understand. I did the right thing.
Speaker 2:You definitely did the right thing.
Speaker 1:I just don't like talking to the police, that's it. I just don't like talking to them. They were there on a wellness check. It was not anything bad. I listened to too much NWA growing up. You did.
Speaker 2:You did. I was like I'm not afraid of the police and I am black, but you are like, oh my gosh, the police. I'm like what is the problem boiled?
Speaker 1:boiled down. Listening to too much md nwa is why I'm scared of the police we won't get into the whole four episode long story.
Speaker 2:That is actually why I am but yeah, yeah, because I'm like I have no issue. I'm like yo, officer, I need your help. I have no problem calling 911.
Speaker 1:I take back what I'm saying. I have unlearned a lot of my anxieties with them.
Speaker 2:I hope so, because we kind of need them Living here in this area. Yeah, it's very aristocratic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, where were we?
Speaker 2:Oh, I do have another weird story too.
Speaker 1:Do you?
Speaker 2:I do. Okay, this one may actually be weird. So the world's oldest known wild bird lays an egg in Hawaii at the age of 74. He was creeping up on the moses years. The oldest known wild bird in the world has laid an egg at the ripe age. They said ripe, that is just man, that's devious, right.
Speaker 1:They're throwing that bird under the bus ran it over and probably gonna cook it. At the age of 74.
Speaker 2:Her first in four years. Four years is who she is.
Speaker 1:I got family members that haven't made it to 74.
Speaker 2:Is she Eve of the birds, Like what is the deal? Why is she having all these babies?
Speaker 1:Wait, but also 74. 7 plus 4 equals 11. I'm not gonna, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna keep going. But what made it even worse? Her last time she had some babies when she was 70 that's insanity.
Speaker 1:Could you imagine a human doing that?
Speaker 2:I'm sure there's one human in the world that's done that, but I hope not it would come out like a a boil day it's true, oh, but who on purpose decided, to my own stomach turn?
Speaker 2:impregnate a 70 year old human like who, who, no, who knows y'all let's not even think, y'all, if y'all know somebody or know a story please? Get in our way send it our way, because I want send it our way and get them neutered because I want to know what is the dealio and um, where can I get that golden egg from? Anyways, back to the story. The long-winged seabird named Wisdom what?
Speaker 1:The short-winged feather cat named Samson. No, the short-winged feather cat named Knowledgeable Like what the hell.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm sure it does have a lot of wisdom at 74. I mean, it's seen a lot.
Speaker 1:Okay, bird wisdom Are we going to start teaching that in schools now?
Speaker 2:They have had to probably dodge bullets Like they've had a whole war. They've seen a lot of 74 years honey.
Speaker 1:That bird has a purple heart. Exactly Like it a purple heart.
Speaker 2:Exactly Like it is.
Speaker 1:Just you know that bird can say to every bird ever y'all are all here because I got laid Right, and then just call it a day.
Speaker 2:But named Wisdom, a Laysan albatross, returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge at the northwestern edge of the Hawaiian Archipelago.
Speaker 1:So it's in good climate. I was wondering that that might be why.
Speaker 2:And laid what experts estimate may be her 60th egg. She a ho-ho.
Speaker 1:Heck. No, we don't know what bird culture is like.
Speaker 2:I wonder, does she have the same baby daddy for all of them? We don't know what bird culture is like. I wonder, does she have the same baby daddy for all of them? We don't know well, no, probably not. Some of them had to die, so we don't know what bird culture is like.
Speaker 1:It could be. That could be like very promiscuous. I mean not permit what is promiscuous, very not promiscuous. Yeah, yeah, very not permit bird culture 2025.
Speaker 2:So they need to stop tweaking all over then if, if you're just gonna be twerking everywhere anyways. The specific region of the us fish and wildlife service said in a facebook post this week wisdom and her mate, uh can't pronounce that name?
Speaker 1:What's her?
Speaker 2:mate Her mate's name is Akikamahi had returned to the atoll in the Pacific Ocean to lay and hatch eggs since 2006. Oh, she's been having the same partner for a while.
Speaker 1:That's what I mean. Okay, okay, she ain't a ho-ho, I'm with Wisdom. Wisdom is not a ho-ho. I fucks with Wisdom.
Speaker 2:Oh ho-ho, I fucks with wisdom. Oh, good fact, it's coming up. Lays an albatross's mate for life and lay one egg per year.
Speaker 1:Wait, that's actually really cool. One forever.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So she's been having them since 14. We need to talk to Samtha, but the old bird cause, how old's her partner?
Speaker 2:I was all for bird culture until now.
Speaker 1:I'm worried that this old ass man slept with your old Albatross.
Speaker 2:How did we? I don't know, but we don't know.
Speaker 1:They said let's just say they're both 14 when the first egg was laid.
Speaker 2:We're going to assume this, don't know. They said in this article. Let's just say they're both 14 when the first egg was laid. We're gonna assume this, but akamahahi has not been seen for several years and wisdom began interacting with another male when she returned last week. See no well, maybe he died he probably did die, he he laying eggs.
Speaker 1:That's fine. Let wisdom continue. He is doing too. Let wisdom continue to he is doing too much. Let wisdom continue to flap her flaps, boom, boom.
Speaker 2:He had to take that Viagra, so he just it was time for him to go.
Speaker 1:We can let wisdom flap her flaps.
Speaker 2:They're probably eviscerated by now. Every egg had a new baby daddy.
Speaker 1:Every time she's flying. They're very close to the water. Mm-hmm, we are obviously missing they ain't flaps anymore, they're curtains with the wind gone with the wind we are optimistic that the egg will hatch right.
Speaker 2:I don't know how, but anyways, we are optimistic that the egg will hatch.
Speaker 1:We need more rights for the albatrosses we need more albatross rights they got a lot of rights.
Speaker 2:clearly they live until 74. Oh you're right.
Speaker 1:Wait, what's the standard age of like when humans pass away now, can you look that up, jarvis? What's life expenses, jarvis?
Speaker 2:Anyways, let me finish this article really quick. We are optimistic that the egg will hatch. Jonathan Pilsner, a supervisory wildlife biologist at Midway Atoll National.
Speaker 1:Wildlife 78 years, so that bird is almost at a human life.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1:We need to get her on the show.
Speaker 2:She be like caw-caw. That's how we're going to hear the whole episode C caw caw.
Speaker 1:Like that's all we're gonna hear the whole episode caw caw. I'll send my carrier pigeon to extend the invite to this albatross.
Speaker 2:Every year, millions of seabirds return to the refuge to nest and raise their young wow nest albatross return to the refuge, to nest and raise their young Wow Nest, mm-hmm. Albatross, albatross, albatross, right, albatross. Parents take turns incubating an egg for about two months.
Speaker 1:That's the Bird Island jail.
Speaker 2:Well, that's cool. At least they take turns. You know, incubating the egg Chicks fly out to sea about five to six months after hatching. Wow To what. They're on maternity leave for a long time. They spend most of their lives flying over the ocean and feeding on squid and fish eggs.
Speaker 1:That's so cool actually. Could, you imagine doing like a five, like every kid they have, they take a road trip. They're like, okay, I'll be back in six months I would love that. He does all the dirty work.
Speaker 2:Literally.
Speaker 1:When she gets back to birth, ready to fly, all she's got to do is have another one, literally.
Speaker 2:Yes, dang, she just pops a squat. But they both take turns every two months incubating them little bastards.
Speaker 1:So that's awesome. Yeah, that way, the bird gets the father's nut and sack warmth and the little bird also gets the I can't Wait the gooch warmth. What Are we allowed to say, gooch? I feel like we're far enough into the podcast where I'm allowed to say gooch.
Speaker 2:We have said so much things that probably are not right.
Speaker 1:I think they're right.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm glad you stick by it, you, you strong.
Speaker 1:If it's wrong, I don't want to be right.
Speaker 2:What the hell.
Speaker 1:I got a little thing in my throat. Pause, scratch.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, I can go there. What is your favorite little luxury that you allow yourself?
Speaker 1:Oof.
Speaker 2:Noel Now, I guess now.
Speaker 1:Probably playing guitar. Yeah, playing guitar in like 2K probably. I've been trying to learn both Well, 2k is easy, but mostly learning guitar.
Speaker 2:So that's the luxury You've allowed yourself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I wouldn't segment time For it in the past, gotcha. So now, like dedicating, I've been doing like 45 minutes a day, and last night was the first time. It didn't feel like I was stupid, so, like you know, like finger dexterity, like like 45 minutes a day, and last night was the first time. It didn't feel like I was stupid. So, like you know, like finger dexterity.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm Like telling your hand it needs to go a place and it's not going a place. And then last night it actually felt like I was getting a better mind-finger connection.
Speaker 2:Gotcha.
Speaker 1:Instead of mind-body. It's mind-phalange connection.
Speaker 2:Phalanges.
Speaker 1:Phalangas connection Phalanges.
Speaker 2:Phalangas, my little mermaid.
Speaker 1:Phalangus, or if you're from Albatross world, mm-mm. I just burped.
Speaker 2:Mm-mm. Okay, so my luxury and I can't even say it's something that I really allow myself. I just kind of grew up doing this, so it's just natural. But between my hair nails, oh wait, is this what Like fun?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so probably playing basketball more.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, now you can go.
Speaker 2:I mean, you could have took it any way you wanted.
Speaker 1:Okay, those three things I want it to be reading in 2025.
Speaker 2:I do want to read.
Speaker 1:We should get Kindles and download the same books and try to get through it and get through all the books in a year.
Speaker 2:Yes, let's do it.
Speaker 1:That would be a good thing. And then we talk about it. That would be a good thing. And then we'd talk about it. That would be a great idea. Yes, and it'll push us Write that down. Yes, yes, to read.
Speaker 2:Because the more we read, the better, and then we can be like Oprah and have a book club.
Speaker 1:No, nobody's going to be like Oprah, nobody's going to be like anybody. We're done mentioning people forever.
Speaker 2:We're done mentioning people.
Speaker 1:Fictional characters are fine. We're going to be like Movie actors are not fine, but the characters, the movie actors play are fine, we're going to be like a book club.
Speaker 2:That would be fun.
Speaker 1:We can recommend books we do like a. Yep, perfect, I'm in yes. So in Put Hatchet on that list and put it Happened in the Midnight Fart Town. Just trust me on this. What are you doing? She's actually writing it down, holy crap.
Speaker 2:And then these are books he wants to write, the.
Speaker 1:Glitter Gourd Strikes Thrice.
Speaker 2:I am out. I am out, drop a mic.
Speaker 1:Okay, that was a good one.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness, noah so.
Speaker 1:I know, right, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:Is that all, oh, goodness okay.
Speaker 1:We're just chilling now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what is your goal?
Speaker 1:A goal for next year A goal one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, you ain't gotta tell your whole family business.
Speaker 1:Go to the podiatrist.
Speaker 2:Oh my toes really fucked so his goal is to take care of his health I think it's broken.
Speaker 1:I've had a black toenail since last year and it's like it's getting to the point where it's like oh, they're gonna remove.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're gonna remove the whole toenail I hope so.
Speaker 1:They need to remove the toe. Oh lord, I think it's actually doing more like less for my balance that no I can't say that I don't know what it's.
Speaker 2:I really hope I don't lose my toe no, it's the one next to it oh, you don't need that toe.
Speaker 1:You said that so affirmatively.
Speaker 2:You don't.
Speaker 1:You don't actually.
Speaker 2:No, I mean, you've seen Jerry.
Speaker 1:Does he not have a toe?
Speaker 2:Yeah, he doesn't have a middle finger toe.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's hilarious, Kaysen to me. When I told him about it when we were playing basketball, he looked at me and he goes you don't want to be the guy with nine toes and I said I, I have always wanted to be the guy. Yeah, look at the track record and socks.
Speaker 2:So yeah it doesn't fit any different, like jerry has nine toes, matter of fact my dad run yeah, okay, cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1:No, he's fine yeah, it's all good, I think you would just learn. And I mean they can put a and that's only if you want.
Speaker 2:They can put a spacer in between there if you really have balance issues. But you shouldn't.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't. And then it would be how they curl afterwards. That I'd be worried about. That'd be a little nasty, all right, what I'm thinking way too far ahead I was like what I would just wear socks all the time.
Speaker 2:You'll be fine. You'll be fine. And then funny story, talking about people with. You know not all their ligaments, an ice cube just went.
Speaker 1:I thought I was choking. I was like oh, it'll melt.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it'll melt, You'll be fine. I mean, it's a little blue for a while, It'll be fine. I mean it's kind of a little blue for a while, but you'll be alright. My dad used to always say he only had a .45. And growing up I always used to think it was a gun. So I would tell kids at school my dad has a .45.
Speaker 2:Well, my dad was in the World War II. Yeah, I have old parents and so he really did. He had four fingers on one hand and five on the other, so he'd always say I have a 45. He was in World War.
Speaker 1:II. Mm-hmm, what? Yeah, you have never told me this. That's like one of the coolest facts of all time.
Speaker 2:Well, you're welcome.
Speaker 1:Now you know Jeez he has four fingers on one hand. Yeah, how like people shake his hand he just shook his hand okay yeah, he had no problem okay cool. Yeah, that's so cool. Did he lose it in the war?
Speaker 2:yeah, geez no, it was. It's just kind of funny because he was protecting the berlin wall that is so cool so yeah, he has a 45. Well, he had a 45, he. Now he probably somebody got a 45 in the ground.
Speaker 1:Bones yeah, termites, I mean he still got a 45. Not termites. Man, I've always thought about that. Do you think if you ever lost something, like when you got to heaven, you got it back and you're like this is how good it felt, like this is how good it could have felt the whole time, or like any of the injuries you accumulate down here?
Speaker 2:Good question. Should we call up God and ask him?
Speaker 1:Welcome to the God section of the Green Onions podcast, where we call up Jesus and ask him what's really going on.
Speaker 2:You probably sent us the voicemail.
Speaker 1:What were you saying yesterday? The chants thing we were talking about how, like I gave you another chance and this is what you do with it, right.
Speaker 2:He's like oh lord, and you just told me last week you would never do nothing stupid again. And you did it again.
Speaker 1:Look at you now. It's back in the same shit.
Speaker 2:I just got you out of last week, yeah, and you have nerd to call me. You go to the back of the line go to the back of the line. You number 13. Take your number.
Speaker 1:I'm sitting around here on my translucent orb, twiddling my thumbs and solving shit, and you come here with the same bullshit right, right, just different day, different day we Different day. We're trying, we're trying down here. He's like no, you ain't trying.
Speaker 2:You ain't trying, you're doing the same thing.
Speaker 1:I'm giving you the will to try.
Speaker 2:He's like I'm giving you the whole layout and here you are, the enchilada.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're all curious and you're still in the kiddie pond twiddling your little bird feet, your albatross feet.
Speaker 2:I don't know what to do. Lord, you don't know what to do. I gave you a whole book of what to do.
Speaker 1:I don't.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 1:I don't believe that.
Speaker 2:He didn't give us a whole book.
Speaker 1:He didn't write it.
Speaker 2:It solves problems.
Speaker 1:It does solve problems. I will agree with that. It solves problems it does solve. I will agree with that. It's all wrong.
Speaker 2:I will agree whether it's socrates or moses, it doesn't matter socrates was in okay no, he was not. I don't even know why I brought him up, because I guess, well, I feel like they aren't in the same era that's a good point, no, not at all. No, not at all. You're right way off.
Speaker 1:But those errors always get muddled for me, like when was rome built? If rome wasn't built in a day, but Rome was around while Jesus was around, who made it? I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know. Their outfits look the same. Is that, pammy?
Speaker 1:You want to say hi.
Speaker 2:We have a special guest in our lounge.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she's just walking around.
Speaker 2:Yeah, pammy, I think her movie went off.
Speaker 1:You want to reset it. I can keep them entertained for a little bit. Oh harsh. Okay, let me find a weird news story. So guess what y'all?
Speaker 1:I bought for my first time a Netflix subscription because I wanted to watch the the man on the inside 10 out of 10 show. I watched it. Uh, in a couple nights. Um, the other subscription I decided to purchase was nba league pass. Because, let's be honest, why are so many subscriptions like youtube tv? Does anybody know what that costs a month for the base plan youtube tv with all like the stupid channels like spike or whatever the shit it cost? It's 73. So I was like, let's get to the root of this. All I want to do is watch a basketball game. So I went to nba league pass and it was only 15. So now I have two 15 charges coming out and also mcdonald's another app I downloaded has. If you go on there, they do daily deals. Yeah, they do. Man, I earn a lot of points off that stuff. Two days ago I got a 20-piece nugget and a basket of fries for $8.99. And I don't care if it's cat meat $8.99 is Dude you missed the 20-piece, 20 piece.
Speaker 2:No, they have the 10 piece for a dollar. Um a few days ago, yeah what?
Speaker 1:honey. Well, today they got. If you buy a six piece, you get a six piece.
Speaker 2:So now, now I know what I'm doing after the gym but, dude, I'm telling you, honey, yes, and you earn points so fast on the mcdonald.
Speaker 1:I already had like 4,000 based on that one, yeah, and you just do tap to pay Mm-hmm. Also, what are your feelings on the McRib? Have you ever had? It Okay, I either know people that love it, never had it, or throw up when you mention it.
Speaker 2:So I personally have never tried it. Jerry has tried it, but it deterred me from wanting to try it.
Speaker 1:And I occasionally, you know, I'll do something. I think I tried it at one point and I didn't hate it, no.
Speaker 2:But here's the problem I can't get it out of my head. I have a friend. She worked on the Jeffrey Dahmer case.
Speaker 1:Yep, I'm done.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, okay, I don't need I say anymore. And so anyway, she showed me pictures. You know we were in college or whatever, we did a report or whatever on it. Okay, so that already freaks me out. You know, serial killers, they're just, they're not my friends wait was he, did he? But he compared eating a mcrib to eating a person oh, I'm out so now I'm good never again like we. I don't need to.
Speaker 1:And I think the time I ate the McRib I was like four years old, so that's just not.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it was in my head.
Speaker 1:It's not a shame little Noah for eating a McRib when he didn't know any better.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, exactly, but still no shame. No shame, but I can't get it out of my head to even try it now, because I'm like yeah, now, every time I I can't even look.
Speaker 1:Even the brown color is unsettling. Like who wants to get brown food from a restaurant Other than like a steak or like Like something that saucy, like Salisbury steak, for example?
Speaker 2:I don't like Salisbury steak.
Speaker 1:Everybody's the restaurant the the ch house. For example, I don't like salisbury steak.
Speaker 2:Everybody's the restaurant the the house chop house well don't say it we're gonna say it's just old people food what it really is.
Speaker 1:They have great drinks, but like that food is so under seasoned.
Speaker 2:And oh, a salisbury steak well, I've never been to that chop house. The chop house I've been to was in Knoxville Last time.
Speaker 1:I went was like a year ago two years ago.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's different Staff changed. Well, Knoxville chop house is good, so I've never tried the Franklin one.
Speaker 1:Turnover. Maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 2:Maybe you got the cook that doesn't know how to season.
Speaker 1:It's kind of like Cracker. Barrel. You walk in and you're feeling, I feel, a little discriminated against Just for having tattoos or wearing a hat or being Young.
Speaker 2:You're only talking about your tattoos.
Speaker 1:I'm like you mean basically for being young or not drinking black coffee?
Speaker 2:Unless you're on a cane and you've got arthritis in your back.
Speaker 1:I will say Cracker Barrel is the place for little white girls to get employed and smile. And then all the weird old dudes just throw you a bunch of money. If I got reincarnated and I had a choice, I don't know what I would pick. I don't know where I was going with that, but I'd probably be like Snoopy or something. I'd love to be Snoopy, but like the traumatic war story that he goes through and the Halloween, that's what I've been doing every like the holidays I've been spending like here, I just watch the Charlie Brown specials for them.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's nice.
Speaker 1:The Halloween one's my favorite.
Speaker 2:Did I faint?
Speaker 1:When Linus is in the pumpkin patch waiting for the great pumpkin, did I faint? I'm the most sincere. This is the most sincere pumpkin patch I love the most sincere. This is the most sincere pumpkin patch.
Speaker 2:I love how you toggle, because you were talking about the little chicks in the cracker barrel and how, if you got reincarnated, then you went straight up to Charlie Brown. That's what you've been doing.
Speaker 1:I'm like wow, that was a pretty long. That was a far reach.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was, do I?
Speaker 1:toggle too much.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Okay. Now that I'm starting to think I don't know where my brain draws the. Like the glink, you know what I mean. Like the connector.
Speaker 2:You know what it?
Speaker 1:is.
Speaker 2:It's a little weird, it's that you had Coca-Cola with the Santa from the 70s on it, that's what it is and I had a read on it and, who knows, I'm already geeked out. This Coke may be from the 70s.
Speaker 1:I'm good with that. That's the stuff that gets the rust out of your car.
Speaker 2:That's even worse. It's going to get the rust hopefully out of our livers. I don't know.
Speaker 1:Well, I think.
Speaker 2:The world is a brighter place.
Speaker 1:I think the world is a brighter place. I think the world is a brighter place when me and you are sitting at this round table discussing things.
Speaker 2:We need to get us a Sons of Anarchy table.
Speaker 1:Is that like the what?
Speaker 2:Have you ever seen Sons of Anarchy?
Speaker 1:No, I've had people tell me to watch it you just need to look up.
Speaker 2:Well, it is a great show.
Speaker 1:I definitely love it, but their table where?
Speaker 2:they have their club meetings. That table is freaking awesome.
Speaker 1:Is it like the last table, like the last supper table?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it has the Reaper what it's a badass table.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:Probably not Because I went from Breaking.
Speaker 2:Bad to.
Speaker 1:I tried to get into Vikings that show sucked. I tried to get into Archer that show sucked. I tried to get into Archer that show sucked. And then I landed Archer didn't suck all the way through the CW shows. They jumped the shark. Well, in that era the CW shows jumped the shark so hard at a season it's like what the heck am I watching? Like Flash for the first two seasons I was totally invested, totally into it. And then, like Time Travel got introduced and like I was like why? Also, there was another show that was like that. It was, um, I do like Supernet. Like there are some shows like Psych or Detective shows where you like the characters. They can kind of do that. Yeah, because you're not that invested in the story. Yeah, like psych or detective shows where you like the characters, they can kind of do that. Yeah, um, because you're not that invested in the story yeah, because it doesn't have a set storyline.
Speaker 1:No and that's why I really do like the new shows that are coming out, like the exclusive ones, because they only keep it to like eight episodes. So everything's pretty tight. Um, but where'd that start? I was trying to pull it back. I was trying to find another route to take to pull it back to what we were originally talking about.
Speaker 2:I didn't even remember what we were originally talking about. It just went so whatever. Oh yes, the Sons of Anarchy table.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:We do need one.
Speaker 1:Never gotten to Walking Dead either either.
Speaker 2:I could just keep going I got into it, but um see, see how that show jumps the shark.
Speaker 1:But here's the thing.
Speaker 2:They made a drastic mistake with me. They killed off a main character and I read the comic book, so that's what makes it even worse. Um, so you were invested in that kind of and I'm not a comic book reader, um, jerry is but I was like, if I'm paying for this crap, I might as well start reading this you know, but they killed off a main character. They killed off actually two main characters. That the first hoe, I didn't mind, I didn't mind, but that second one I was like, wait, hold on.
Speaker 1:Why.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it didn't make sense, and so I never watched it after that.
Speaker 1:See Breaking Bad.
Speaker 1:Breaking Bad was a good show Did that perfectly, and then you just see Jesse's soul Like, oh, it's so good, I like that. I watched Dexter but even dexter jumped the shark at a point like after the trinity killer, and then the girl the other girl gets injured. Because I think the family dynamic in the first seasons of dexter is what made it so like antithesis, where I like, really liked, like that he had to be this. But when that went away and he was allowed to go buck wild, I never watched it after that he was allowed to go buck wild like.
Speaker 1:I didn't like that. There wasn't any depth to the character anymore. That's what I do like about the shows now. They're not like, they don't have to put out another season if they don't want to and you can write shows like that. I think Atlanta did that the best.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Atlanta was good.
Speaker 1:Atlanta's still my favorite show, probably Breaking Bad. Atlanta, well, atlanta, breaking Bad. I don't know a third I like a lot. Oh, it's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. See that show you can just put on.
Speaker 2:I like that show, but I would have not, naturally, watched it on my own. I don't really gravitate towards comedic shows. I gravitate toward violent, semi-realistic shows.
Speaker 1:I like comedic. It makes my brain turn off. I can't watch Bachelor. I like comedic. It makes my brain turn off. I can't watch Bachelor. I can't watch. It's just so scripted to me. And the people are written so dumb and so objectified-y that I just hate it. I can't watch it.
Speaker 2:The first season of Bachelor was probably the most authentic and maybe because we were getting into that reality TV where reality TV literally probably was reality TV.
Speaker 1:I do like Survivor.
Speaker 2:Survivor is still good Survivor. I mean, you really can't.
Speaker 1:They got a little too woke, but now they're leaning into it the right way and that's fine.
Speaker 2:But the first season of Bachelor. I think it was the only season. After that it got crazy.
Speaker 1:I think we need to bring back Flavor of Love, but with Soulja Boy. No Soulja.
Speaker 2:Love.
Speaker 1:Soulja Faux Love. That would be an idea he would do right now Soulja Faux Love Instead of Flavor Faux Love.
Speaker 2:You need to take care of baby mama and just stop playing.
Speaker 1:He's not Nick Cannon.
Speaker 2:Flavor for Flaves. Nick Cannon takes care of his kids.
Speaker 1:Chain on Flavor for Love or whatever. That huge clock. He was so funny.
Speaker 2:With his turtle looking self.
Speaker 1:Baby yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm just like like how these beautiful women even want to place their mouth on a turtle like they want money.
Speaker 1:Turtles are green, money is green, green, green green ancient turtle and christmas trees are green and, uh, we're gearing up for this holiday season and getting through the holiday season. I hope everybody's getting through it just peachily and greatly and super, super indipidously.
Speaker 2:My 20-year-old niece is coming back to Tennessee. I'm so excited.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Yes, my little duck duck.
Speaker 1:You got anything planned?
Speaker 2:No, just pick her little butt up from the airport. I mean we're going to have. So of course, christmas is going to be all out this year, especially with the food and stuff, and then we have actually a family photo shoot in January, getting her registered for school. Yeah, I don't know what else we have planned. She wants to go to Dollywood. We'll have to see.
Speaker 1:Dollywood's so fun.
Speaker 2:Because the four-year-old will turn five. She's having a big birthday.
Speaker 1:Dollywood is.
Speaker 2:I love.
Speaker 1:Dollywood. It's the best place to people watch.
Speaker 2:It is.
Speaker 1:And it's just fun and if you go at the Christmas lights and East Tennessee is just beautiful to be in. I love.
Speaker 2:East Tennessee, that's just great If I had to not live in Middle. Tennessee. I mean, I lived there for five years. It's my jam.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:My dream home actually is in East Tennessee.
Speaker 1:My dream home actually is in East Tennessee. My dream home for the fall is a cabin in Gatlinburg, summer like a place on the beach and winter like a ranch in Wyoming.
Speaker 2:Nice. So, you get all of them. In Wyoming Nice.
Speaker 1:So you get all of them and like the best like peak season of place ratio.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think Right, yes, no, I got you, I got you, I knew where you were going. I was like okay, okay.
Speaker 1:I got to just throw it and like see how many it's like tacks. I feel many it's like tacks. I feel like my brain is like tacks.
Speaker 2:I throw everything up as many as you can pick up. I pick up all the pebbles, but yes, no. So super excited about that. I'm really excited because it's going to be a Not Well technically yeah, more traditional. It is the cooking part of what my family does, because we love to cook during the holidays, but we're adding Jerry's Hispanic culture, so we are doing a very very, very Hispanic holiday.
Speaker 1:So it's going to be exciting, such good food.
Speaker 2:And the little babies. They are going to get some Mexicano, so they're super excited. We're making tamales.
Speaker 1:Oof.
Speaker 2:Chicken, beef and pork. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's like the tacos we had.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm. So we are doing that, we're doing our Mexican Punch. The kid, the boy, the boy.
Speaker 1:He did ask for why did Kendrick?
Speaker 2:come up.
Speaker 1:The boy. Where's the man? Because I ain't seen him yet. Can I bleed him Bet?
Speaker 2:He did ask for some dressing, because I made dressing last year when we had our first Christmas.
Speaker 1:Oh, like Thanksgiving dressing, so good.
Speaker 2:But here's the thing it's a lot of work, is it? It's a lot of work, that's the stuffing right.
Speaker 1:Dressing is the stuffing, no, or dressing is the cranberry thing.
Speaker 2:I or dressing is the cranberry thing. I mean, you can use cranberry for either one, but stuffing normally goes inside. It's more like a um, like a stovetop kind of consistency like a stovetop stuffing yeah, that's stuffing.
Speaker 1:Dressing is like cornbread you see, why do we gotta classify, why we gotta, why we gotta segregate?
Speaker 2:because, because white folks do stuffing, black folks use dressing.
Speaker 1:Okay, so if I have, stuffing Is stuffing dressing and dressing stuffing is my main question.
Speaker 2:No, no, no.
Speaker 1:Like ingredients-wise, like down to the minute detail of it being in a turkey or in a pan.
Speaker 2:No, what's the ingredients? Different stuffing is more of like a bread kind of consistency, which is seasonings. There's no extra to it okay, I'm down with.
Speaker 1:Then. I've had dressing my whole life.
Speaker 2:No, you had stuffing. No, I didn't.
Speaker 1:So what did you have? I had.
Speaker 2:Did your dressing have like some celery some cornbread, some carrots maybe some onions, not carrots. Maybe some people put turkey or gizzards in it.
Speaker 1:It was in a pan.
Speaker 2:It don't matter if it's in a pan or it don't matter if it's in a pan or it don't matter. It's the consistency.
Speaker 1:I love how I fell back on my own logic.
Speaker 2:I mean all of it's in a pan at some point, whether it's up a turkey's cup or not, my own logistic fallacy got me out of this conversation. You know what I'm going to have to Now. I'm going to have to now, I'm probably going to have to just make both, just to give you the two different. Okay, like this is stuffing.
Speaker 1:Just make one bowl, one bowl of each.
Speaker 2:You're going to be like what? I mean. They're both good, but people of color normally do a dressing.
Speaker 1:Okay, and then peach.
Speaker 2:People normally do a stuffing.
Speaker 1:Peach.
Speaker 2:Yeah, y'all peach, y'all ain't white.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2:And we're all kinds of different shades.
Speaker 1:We're all from the same.
Speaker 2:Eve or this bird, yeah, adam.
Speaker 1:Or Eve or this bird is the name of the episode.
Speaker 2:That bird is still having babies.
Speaker 1:We all from Eve or this bird. I'm telling you she's having babies every year. That was a crazy news fact. Rocky was cool.
Speaker 2:That one was a cool one.
Speaker 1:Like Philadelphia needs something. I've thought about it. We do have a lot of stuff Like Cheekwood. We have like we could go out and do whatever we wanted Philadelphia. All you got is like turn, turn the furnace on hope you don't freeze and smoke cigarettes.
Speaker 2:Oh lord, I'm sure there's more to it. I don't know ducky has been living there for what five, six years, so she can probably tell me yeah, she would.
Speaker 1:She would probably be like I'm completely wrong, I'm probably, I'm not, I don't even think I'm not completely right I know I'm completely wrong she probably.
Speaker 2:she probably don't even care what's not completely right. I know I'm completely wrong. She probably don't even care what's in Philadelphia, as long as she has her tattoo artist, that's all she cares about.
Speaker 1:Is that it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's all she's worried about. She's like do you know a good tattoo artist Girl? I need your butt to get in school. I don't give a damn about your tattoo. Don't let me tell her, listen. She said. I said where does all your money go? And she's like on my body and I'm like what? And that's when she started showing me her tattoos. And it's funny because she was like me, like we look just like, and everything, and I was like, wait, hold on what where did this come?
Speaker 2:from her tattoos, her piercing. I was like oh, oh, wow. I says cover it up. You look like me. Now who are you? I'm like oh, okay that's where your money goes I don't know.
Speaker 1:I think every tattoo recently I've gotten, I tell my dad I think like my back especially, I'd be like say goodbye to my back, because the last time you'll see it looking like this and he's like bye back and I just walk out. I think he's accepted it. I mean, I think you got to yeah.
Speaker 2:You kind of have to Can you imagine disowning your family or your friend because they got a tattoo?
Speaker 1:That's kind of awkward. I know people that, like their parents, were that freaking crazy.
Speaker 2:That's awkward.
Speaker 1:And I talk to them and like if I'm at work and they're telling stories, I'm sitting there. I'm like how did you not just walk out Like I don't know and like why do you still? Listen to them.
Speaker 2:Why do you still listen to anything like any opinion? There is a lot of, as we know from my situation, worse things that can you should disown a person for exactly and a tattoo is not it. And and who they sleep with is definitely not it you're right, I agree with you. I'm accepting like when you abandon AKA your children. If you listening out there, then I diss on your ass. Oh my god.
