Transcript

Speaker 1 0:02

You laugh, you'll cringe, you'll beg for more. With a guilty pleasure you can't ignore, like a drunk tech sent at 2 a.m. We slipped it in again.

Speaker 0:19

Welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone. We are back slipping it in with you. I'm Megan.

Speaker 3 0:27

This is Matty.

Speaker 4 0:29

Yeah, with this. I this is an Elider Note, JJ.

Speaker 3 0:36

Hey, I'm feeling the Halloween vibes today. Yeah.

Speaker 4 0:38

I can't.

Speaker 0:39

Still Halloween. Well, we also have a special guest here with us. We have our possible West Coast correspondent here with us today.

Speaker 4 0:48

Emphasis impossible.

Speaker 0:50

Yes, correct.

Speaker 2 0:51

I mean thanks for the wonderful greeting. Yes.

Speaker 0:55

Welcome, Melissa. Welcome, Melissa.

Speaker 4 0:57

Yeah. She's still on um probation. Well, yeah. Probation? We haven't even started. You haven't even started.

Speaker 3 1:04

I mean, you've had fits and stops, fits and starts. Like you have really talked a big game. We haven't seen much of it. So like can you that's accurate? Can you just bring us up to speed? So oh, for the audio, listening audience, too. If you are tuning in now and haven't listened to a previous episode, or they if they're a first-time slipper. Right. Yeah. Melissa has been on the pod now three times. This is her third. My third. The second time she dropped a bombshell on us, and at the end of the episode, she's like, I have a proposal. How would you feel if I were the West Michigan correspondent? And and we were like, well, we paused.

Speaker 5 1:43

You did.

Speaker 3 1:44

And we're like, show us what you got, like, bring your ideas. And so far we've seen nothing, but we are looking for an update. So what do you have here?

Speaker 2 1:53

So what I'm realizing is my vision for being the West Michigan correspondent was a little bit different, I think, than what you guys had planned. I thought I don't think we planned anything.

Speaker 3 2:06

It wasn't on our zero plans. No radar. No radar. We had zero plans to bring you in just every. Well as a West Michigan correspondent.

Speaker 2 2:14

So I was thinking I would go out and about around the town when there's things going on in West Michigan. Maybe interview people, do a couple little funny things, record it, and submit it to you.

Speaker 4 2:28

Do you realize that we are a podcast and not CBS Morning News?

unknown 2:32

Well.

Speaker 4 2:32

Yeah.

Speaker 3 2:33

You're like want to be a street beat reporter or whatever they call those.

Speaker 4 2:37

Do you need a camera crew with you? Like following you around? Like it's just like, do you need a van that says slip it in? Like you would love that if I had a sets in sketch. So a golf cart.

The West Michigan Correspondent Pitch

Speaker 2 2:49

That's where the stop has come in because I don't know where to go with things. I've had a few ideas. And here's one idea. Okay. If I can pitch it.

Speaker 4 2:58

Sure. We're all right. Oh, you are pitching it, and this is a moment. It's like it's like on Brian. I it better be on Brian.

Speaker 2 3:03

Well, it's Halloween, and all of the orchards, apple, and cider places, everybody has a corn maze, it seems like. All these different farms have corn mazes. And when the girls, my daughters were younger, I always felt obligated to have to go to the corn maze, even though I really didn't like that.

Speaker 4 3:23

The girls like that?

Speaker 2 3:24

Yeah. And it was just like what you do in the fall, like you do all that fun stuff.

Speaker 4 3:27

Right.

Speaker 2 3:28

So I thought it would be funny if I went to a corn maze and just waited for people to come out of the corn maze and ask about why they're there. Like, do they do the things?

Speaker 3 3:42

Like a reporter would do.

Speaker 2 3:44

Because they like it or because they feel obligated because of the season?

Speaker 3 3:48

So do you think that would be a compelling podcast going to particularly?

Speaker 2 3:53

Here's what I would say. If I could find somebody that was a real like enthusiast for corn mazes, so how many interviews will it take you to get that golden ticket? Which is why I haven't done it.

Speaker 4 4:06

Yeah.

Speaker 2 4:07

So it was just an idea.

Speaker 4 4:08

Andy Cohen just took um Ben and Lucy to the corn maze, was a complete nightmare. He said that as soon as he didn't he didn't realize how much this was going to be, and he said that the lady told him this is going to take two hours.

Speaker 4:24

No. That I will not do a corn maze for two hours. Ten minutes.

Speaker 3 4:28

Do you know I've never done a corn maze?

Speaker 4 4:30

Me neither. But he said, five minutes in, Lucy wanted to go pee. There is no bathrooms in there. No, there's no. He's there for two hours with the kids. He lasted only 45 minutes.

Speaker 4:41

That's longer than I'd last.

Speaker 2 4:43

So what if he was walking out of the corn maze and I was standing there?

Speaker 3 4:46

Well, if you got Andy Cohen coming out of the corn maze, you're hired. Yeah, that'd be high. Chances are you're gonna get like John and Candy from DeWitt. Come out.

Speaker 4:57

And they're gonna love.

Speaker 3 4:59

So here's my suggestion. I think you gonna need to go back to the whiteboard.

Speaker 5 5:03

I agree.

Speaker 5:04

Okay, I'll bring another idea. Okay. Well, and if you need, like instead of trying to go interview people on site, you could just put out commentary on Reddit and you'll get all sorts of crazy responses back. True. That's your better route to go to get feedback versus hanging out at a corn maze where you're gonna get kicked out by the owner because you're there harassing his customers. And I'll say this, kind of.

Speaker 3 5:34

I'll say this as a pro tip. Like, I think when we're looking when you say the pro tip.

unknown 5:39

Okay.

Corn Maze Schemes And On‑Site Interviews

Speaker 3 5:40

I think what we're looking for more so for a con a podcast contributor is your hot takes on something as well. So, like, less maybe interviewing and giving us a clip of what Joe Blow said coming out of the corn maze and more about I went through the corn maze and here is I ran into this character, this happened, I feel this way. Like, just go with that vibe.

Speaker 6:05

Okay, thank you.

Speaker 4 6:06

You're welcome. Again, we're not morning news, we're a podcast.

Speaker 6:10

All right. So I think we should also table you being our West Michigan correspondents. Would it like tabled? Like we'll reevaluate again. We're gonna keep you on a contingency basis.

Speaker 4 6:24

Yeah, this was not in our plans when we set up. I really I didn't see slipping that in and we're we're pulling out.

Speaker 3 6:31

Right now, I think yeah. Right now it's an unpaid internship. And we are pulling out fast.

Speaker 6:38

Well, the big news in Michigan today is if everyone I'm assuming heard over the weekend that there was this big terror plot thwarted by the FBI um right before the Halloween weekend.

Speaker 3 6:54

In Detroit area.

Speaker 6:54

In the Detroit area. So apparently, and I've been like looking because it piqued my interest. One, because it's Michigan. Two, I'm always kind of interested in these terror plots and how they're discovered and what they were gonna do, et cetera. And it is hard to find information. So I'm hoping as this keeps unveiling, we'll learn more.

Speaker 3 7:15

But the tie-in is that it was Operation Pumpkin Day.

Speaker 7:19

Yeah. So they it was these online chat rooms that an FBI undercover agent uh got into very early on. And there were all these cryptic references to Pumpkin Day, which obviously people assume Halloween, maybe Thanksgiving as a backup, but with Halloween so close. That's your Ford one. Well, I guess or Turkey Day. So Pumpkin Day, Halloween is number one. Oh yeah. So and apparently these group chats were very like pro-ISIS and talking about ISIS a lot, and there was a group outing to go to a shooting range to practice high-speed reloads with AK-47s. Now, if you ask me, if you're practicing reloads for high-speed reloads with AK-47s, if you're not in the military, you're up to bad actions.

Speaker 3 8:11

So to me, well, and you're gonna be on someone's radar.

Speaker 8:14

Well, I thank God for the FBI. I'm glad they're on top of it.

Speaker 3 8:21

And it speaks to how there's a big trend online about like radicalizing is that young men, yes. At an early age when their mind is more susceptible to like influence, and like, you know, you're still not uh your brain is not fully mature, and so you're they swoop in and radicalize these young men.

Speaker 8:42

Yeah, which is it's very scary. And so what we do know is a butt there's I think two people as of the day of recording it, which is Saturday after Halloween, so November 1st, which is also the Daylight Savings Day.

Speaker 4 8:56

And Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead.

Speaker 9:00

Oh, okay. Well, I couldn't understand Spanish.

Speaker 3 9:03

I love De la Los Tomotes. I love that. Did I know it? No, not at all.

Speaker 9:08

Anyway, just continue.

Speaker 3 9:10

Just continue.

Speaker 9:13

The podcast to a halt. No one knew except our Spanish listeners and understood.

Speaker 3 9:18

I knew it was in the group chat.

Speaker 9:20

Oh, okay. Well, again, when I see a foreign language, sometimes I just skip over it.

Speaker 3 9:26

Wow.

Speaker 9:27

How cultural are we on the topic?

Speaker 4 9:30

How cultural talk about scary things. Yeah.

Speaker 9:33

Well, so what we do know is two men are uh arrested. That uh numerous homes have been searched in Dearborn and Inkster, a storage facility was searched. So that like my like ting ting ting. I think that's where maybe some guns were stored. We'll see. Well, at the storage facility, maybe that makes sense. Yeah. So we'll see to be determined what new plots and what we hear.

Operation Pumpkin Day Terror Plot

Speaker 4 10:02

It's scary. Go ahead. No, you, please. No, I was just like, it's just scary. And um we were out and about in Halloween, and it's one of those things that I like, it's scary to think about this, but like we live in a world now that I'm like, if somebody were to do something bad, Halloween is kind of a day that this kids will do it because you know already that people are going to be dressed up. Yeah. And I remember us being on the and we can talk about the crazy lines that we went into. Like we were just waiting there outside, and you know, they're drinking and they are um, you know, having a good time, but you don't know what their intentions are.

Speaker 3 10:46

Well, and you've got a prime, it all comes together if someone's trying to do harm, because you've to your point, they could easily be in disguise and no red flags, and large groups of people, uh, many of them are drinking and stuff. So like it's just a prime target. And there were lines like crazy.

Speaker 11:04

It was crazy in Grand Rapids. Like, I've never seen it, and maybe in the Detroit area it was the same way because it was a Halloween night on a weekend, but every bar had lines around the corner. It was crazy.

Speaker 4 11:16

But even as we were preparing for this, uh Melissa, do you remember? Like, you were like, There's going to be covers in every single bar. And at the beginning, we just said, I mean, there's going to be some bars with covers, and that's fine. But it's not right. I made five dollars.

Speaker 3 11:34

You did. Oh my God, that's right. It was so funny. We were in line, and uh the line, like all of a sudden, five people got out of line in front of us, and it was after they'd waited like it was cash. You had to have a cash to get in. Well, the two girls in front of us also didn't have cash. Uh they looked over and I had my wallet open and I had all this cash. She was like, Do you mind if paying for us? We can Venmo you.

Speaker 4 11:58

Did they call you daddy?

Speaker 3 11:59

Uh maybe they called me a social butterfly because that's what we were dressed as social butterflies, although someone called me an internet bug. Which was ridiculous. You guys looked fabulous. But thank you. But anyway, so I, as a good person, I didn't know if they would really Venmo me, but they Venmoed me and added a $5 tip. Yeah.

Speaker 12:21

I love it. I mean, that's new business. It could be.

Speaker 3 12:24

It could be, yeah.

Speaker 12:25

But just stand at lines at the time.

Speaker 3 12:27

You just gotta trust people, I guess. And be kind, and it comes back full circle.

Speaker 12:31

Well, I'm surprised you didn't just say, Yeah, here's my Venmo, and when they Venmoed the money, then that you're not.

Speaker 3 12:36

I was just trying to get in because they had a well, they were shutting the line down at one, and if you weren't in, you weren't in. And they shut the door.

Speaker 4 12:43

But talking about scary things, we actually got in and to the bar and um we approached what we thought it was a vampire.

Speaker 3 12:52

Well, it was a vampire. And he was handsome vampire.

Speaker 4 12:55

Yeah, and you're like, JJ, we just need to do a a quick fruit loop.

Speaker 3 13:00

And I went up to the vamp and I engaged in conversation, and when he spoke and his mouth opened, I know you're gonna think I'm gonna say something about fangs, but this is not the case. He had four like legit rotted teeth. Like these were not, I know people are like, oh, it's probably part of the costume. It was not. I turned to JJ and I said, JJ, do not make any facial expressions. Because it's I do talk because my face talks between the city. I'm like, I saw what you saw, and we're out of here. It was scary. It was, and I felt bad. I mean, I just did I feel bad in retrospect because I approached, I said hello, and then immediately kind of disengaged and walked away. And he probably gets it a lot because he's cute until he opens.

Speaker 4 13:52

And he was with this cute girls too.

Speaker 13:53

So I'm like, I don't, yeah, I really questioned it. I wasn't there, so I really feel like something relating.

Speaker 3 14:01

I it just was not. Do you know any vampires with rotted teeth? And I I could no, in fact, you would put fangs in. Yeah, I yeah, I hear you. I hear you.

Speaker 14:11

It was natural rot. Megan, you should have he was but today's day and age, like you would think you'd be able to get some dental work done. Or at least not smile.

Speaker 4 14:24

But when you were and also, like, I think that is if you also come up dressed up as a vampire, I think that he knew going into it, he's like, you know what? Vampire will go right in with this teeth that I have.

Speaker 2 14:37

Well, the it should have been a great opportunity for him to put in the whole vampire teeth because then he would have had teeth for this.

Speaker 3 14:43

Yes, and he could have seen what it would be like to actually be a regular toothed person.

Speaker 14:48

Correct. Maybe let's think about this. What if he did have some big shenanigans going on with fangs and everything? And through the night with his drinking and partying, it came out and he didn't realize.

Speaker 4 15:03

Maybe. Full-on story from Miguel.

Speaker 3 15:05

Maybe. Well, she loves to fill in the blank.

Speaker 15:07

Well, I'm just trying to give the poor kid a like lifeline.

Speaker 3 15:11

I know. I wish you would have been there. Well, you could have given him some support. I don't know what I would have done. So we were social butterflies, and Melissa was Moira.

Speaker 4 15:22

I was Moira Rose from Shits Creek, which I was actually very surprised that Megan didn't even know when you sent Moira Rose. They're like, Who is she?

Speaker 2 15:29

I didn't watch Shits Creek. Moira Rose is kind of just like what did I say on that text? Icon.

Speaker 4 15:36

Yeah. And we were at the bar and um there was a contest, right?

Speaker 3 15:40

There was, and this was probably my favorite comment and moment of the night. Uh, is when you had to go up and sign up to be part of the contest, and JJ um encouraged Melissa to go up there. And Melissa, you did look like her, but like at the end of the day, it's a black and white outfit, and there and it looked good. But they were better.

Speaker 16:03

There were people like you. It's like regular clothes with red lipstick.

Speaker 3 16:07

But like black and white. But as soon as you said I'm more of people would be like, oh my god, I see it. So it's yeah, it's good. It was on it was on point. But there was like a Pinocchio, a Pinocchio.

Speaker 4 16:17

It was about 30 people.

Speaker 16:18

Pinocchio was pretty amazing.

Speaker 4 16:20

Pinocchio was good. Pinocchio and Gapette.

Speaker 2 16:24

And there was the Queen of Hearts.

Speaker 4 16:25

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 16:26

So anyway, and a Girl Scout was really good. And two social butterflies. Let's not forget. Yeah. There was not a great customer. Melissa does go up and sign up, and then she's back at the sitting at the bar, and she's they're getting ready for the contest, and you have to build. And she starts to be like, How's my hair look? What's my lips? And Megan goes, Melissa, you are not gonna win. Take a look around the room.

Speaker 16:52

Well, there were some amazing positives. Yeah. It was not on my meanwhile, Melissa's like, get me ready, get me ready.

Safety Fears On A Packed Halloween Night

Speaker 4 16:59

She is thinking that she's going in a Miss Universe pageant. Correct like cheese.

Speaker 3 17:03

They announced the top five, and who made it? Melissa. And then you ended up getting third place.

Speaker 2 17:10

Third place. It was shocking.

Speaker 3 17:12

It was shocking.

Speaker 4 17:13

It was. Can we backtrack a little bit? Because when Megan said that to uh Melissa, she actually kind of turned back to me and she was kind of attacking me. It's like, well, JJ, you encouraged me. Do you want me to be the fun? Like me people think.

Speaker 2 17:26

I think you guys were making fun of me because you encouraged me to join the contest. So I thought, okay, that gave me a lot of like hope, and I was feeling good about myself. But then when Megan said that, and I started laughing. I'm like, wait a minute. Well, Melissa, the reason why. You punked me, and now I'm gonna be humiliated.

Speaker 4 17:44

There were there was a reason why I encouraged you. We were at a gay bar. Moira Rose is a staple uh in the gays. True. There was only one Moira Rose dressed up as Moira Rose, which is Melissa. And I was like, she really looked like to Matty's point, like when you when she would say, Well, she was a Beetlejuice and a Cruella.

Speaker 3 18:06

Someone called her well, someone called her Beetlejuice.

Speaker 4 18:10

And which I didn't appreciate. Like the gays love Moira.

Speaker 3 18:15

Yeah. I think that yeah. And so you got the last laugh.

unknown 18:20

Yeah.

Speaker 3 18:20

Because you got a $25 gift card to the apartment. Yep. Exactly. So it was awesome.

Speaker 2 18:26

Next time we go. Yeah, that was great.

Speaker 3 18:28

That was so um think so the man with the missing teeth. Scary. Scary. What about the person that's missing a foot and a hand?

Speaker 18:37

Well, human hands and fingers. Oh. So I thought it was hoof and mouth.

Speaker 2 18:42

What are you talking about?

Speaker 18:43

So apparently hand and foot. Yeah, apparently this week a woman in Kentucky received a box containing human hands and fingers. Can you imagine? Yes.

Speaker 4 18:55

And a box?

Speaker 18:57

Like a FedEx? It was yeah, I think it came through the mail. And she Well, probably not.

Speaker 3 19:02

You can't just send a hand and a finger. Well, they don't know. I know. There was no foot. Was there a foot or no? No, hands and fingers.

Speaker 2 19:09

Have they identified whose fingers and toes?

Speaker 19:14

Well, apparently it was a mistaken delivery. I want to know where it was supposed to be. It was meant to go to it. It was meant to go somewhere for. No, for surgical training. So it was meant to go to a hospital or a so it's not like a murder mess.

Speaker 3 19:32

To me, those seem like van deliveries. Like uh like your own unit. Like, I can't believe you just pop it in the mailbox and uh and mail it off. Right.

Speaker 2 19:40

That seems like a special that wouldn't do that.

Speaker 4 19:44

But why? I wonder what the doctor will think about this.

Speaker 19:47

I mean, that's the same thing as like like dead animals and things that they sent.

Speaker 3 19:53

Who's mailing dead animals?

Speaker 19:55

Again, it's all medical science stuff. You could there's catalogs and websites where you can buy all the stuff online.

Speaker 3 20:02

Well, who filled out this address label? Because it should be going to like a hospital name and it didn't, it went to like Well could have gone to med school.

Speaker 20:09

I mean, I don't know. But would you do that? I don't know the details on it.

Speaker 3 20:12

All right, what would you do if your hand showed up in your obviously call 911? I mean I don't know if you could call 911 for that.

Speaker 20:20

I don't think you should. I wouldn't. I've been told it's only when I get something like that. You don't want to flood the 911 lines with like with related to like issues happening.

Speaker 3 20:35

If I get a hand in if I get a severed hand in the mail, it's severed because it's for the lab. What's it? Do you know what severed means? Well, it is severed because that means it's detached from the body. Jesus can't. Oh, Lord.

Speaker 4 20:58

It's not who am I? Listen, this is why I bring this a song.

Speaker 2 21:02

When I get body parts in the mail, you say I don't call 911. Who do you want me to call? I'm going to report this to. Returned asunder. Not.

Speaker 4 21:11

Returned asunder.

Speaker 21:12

Here's the thing. I have called 911 before and been admonished for it. Well, what did you call for? I came home and felt like my house had been robbed. So I called 911. I got left my house and called 911.

Speaker 2 21:27

It felt like it had been robbed or it was robbed.

Speaker 21:29

Well, it was robbed. But I wasn't, I didn't delve that far in. I like did one look around and felt this looks like a robbery and walked out and called 911. I feel admonished for that. They said this is for immediate emergencies, like for your robbery, call your local police. So I called my police. So are you saying you have to be a member of your local danger?

Speaker 3 21:52

Maybe that's it. Like you have to be an imminent danger. But like you don't, you didn't know that person could have still been in your home.

Speaker 21:58

Well, 100% that's how I felt. Like I came home from being gone for a weekend and walked in and saw things in disarray. And it took me a minute, and I'm like, ooh, I think I've been robbed. And then I just walked back out because I didn't want to stay in there.

Speaker 3 22:13

I think that's a legit 911 call.

Speaker 22:16

They told me no. I called the police. The police were there within five minutes or less. They checked my whole house out and said I'm good to go in. But I will say, I did just Google this. And according to Google's AI, they said yes, if you receive body parts in the mail, call 911.

Speaker 3 22:35

But I also think this immediately. Stop Googling and call.

Speaker 4 22:43

No, I also think that there's a difference between if you receive a body part that is for a lab, I think that it's going to be labeled as such, as of like if I were to cut somebody's hair. Just like a bloody box. It's that there's a difference between the two. You're right. So if there is something for the lab, return to sender.

Speaker 23:02

But then if like Well, I I will, I think you're raising really good points I had not thought about of like, yeah, it will probably say like medical, there's like weird looking medical labels.

Speaker 3 23:16

But what what if cooler? What if a little cannibal killer is sitting across the street watching your reaction to opening this and they're behind it? Yeah, correct. Yeah, I mean, they do that. They they mail parts that they've severed.

Costume Contest Wins And Bar Line Tales

Speaker 23:31

I've recently been really freaked out watching TV shows because they were doing episodes based on like a game where there's like a crazy, like psychotic person who like creates a whole game with regular people by like, you have to go kidnap this child or I'm gonna kill your mother. And like, so Tracker had one episode like that, and so did high potential. And I was actually getting freaked out. Like, what if this happened? So if I just watched those shows and then opened my mail to this fingers and hand, even if it said medical, I would be contacting the authorities always. I would never return to sender.

Speaker 3 24:12

That all of us, yes. I'm not just gonna put a return label on it.

Speaker 4 24:16

And I am saying that if it's labeled a probe, like I would just return to sender.

Speaker 3 24:22

Like it's just And no phone calls to say at least I got a severed hand in the mail.

Speaker 4 24:27

If it comes in in a cooler like a milk bar cake, I will send it back. Okay, that's it. I can get it.

Speaker 3 24:34

Thanks for giving them a hand.

Speaker 5 24:36

Oh my god, I can't.

Speaker 4 24:40

I would never I could I don't know. I can my first reaction will be like, what the fuck is this?

Speaker 3 24:45

Like that's your first reaction. Exactly. And the second is I've got to get this back to them, ASAP. 100%. Yeah.

Speaker 4 24:57

That is, yeah.

Speaker 3 24:59

So I have um a creature feature. I got it. A Halloween creature feature. I love it. It's really on brand. Yeah.

Speaker 4 25:10

What is it?

Speaker 3 25:11

It's about bears, and not the bears we saw last night.

Speaker 4 25:14

There was a couple bears, you know, body pee.

Speaker 3 25:17

I don't know if you guys have heard this story or our listeners have, but apparently in Japan, there is a situation, a situation with a bear over bear population. You show me that. And there is a video. I saw this on the CBS early morning show. They do a talk at the table, and so this is legit. All of a sudden, they put up this little TikTok video. It's like this 85-year-old Japanese woman. She is out for a little stroll, and out of nowhere comes this bear, and it's like a it's like a mid-bear, like a mid-sized bear. It's not a baby bear, it's not a like in your mind you probably seem like a black bear. It seemed like a little black bear. Yeah, it is a black bear. But it's like it seemed like a badger, almost like a badger. And this bear runs at her, nips at her, and keeps going, and then turns around and nips at her again and then scurries off. But here's the thing: there have been in the last 24 months, 12 months, sorry, there have been 219 bear attacks. There have been seven fatalities in the supermarkets. Good question. Here's what this you are not out in the hike. You are going to the mailbox. Yes. One person got attacked in the supermarket. Yeah. Can you imagine? I'm at my store. It's on the CBS early morning show. Yeah. With Gail King. So imagine you're at you're at your Kroger. Honey, I'm picking up some milk. And next thing you know, you're being mauled by a bear that got in through the front door. There was a family of four in a car at a stoplight in a village, bear attack. One of them got killed. One was at an elementary school. One was out for a walk. It's because apparently there is a food shortage, and there they had, listen, listen. They had an acorn failure.

Speaker 1 27:17

Well, not in not in Ferndale, not in Michigan.

Speaker 3 27:20

Not in, no, because they should we I could be uh sending them my acorns.

Speaker 4 27:26

Maybe that could be your charity. It's a mass job. That would be a Lord. And climate change. One thing that I yeah, it's fascinating about this story, but I don't like it about it, is because like now they are sending out troops, right?

Speaker 3 27:39

So the government is getting involved.

Speaker 4 27:43

They have to kill the bears.

Speaker 27:45

But there's too many. The bears are dying of starvation. That's why they're coming after people and going into supermarkets.

Speaker 3 27:50

Listen, the government is not the ones killing them, they are hiring professional hunters. Yeah. Like it, like so.

Speaker 27:57

Just so you know, that happens in Michigan every year. The deer, I know. The deer popped, so they pop people have a beautiful.

Speaker 3 28:03

You didn't just drop some amazing knowledge on me.

Speaker 4 28:09

You guys are you're looking at this, but her look was like, I am bringing the facts right now.

Speaker 28:15

He said it as if this was so like groundbreaking that they'd hire professional hunters to kill the bears. I support it. Like if you're our person who's a hunter, this is a good hunting task for you.

Speaker 3 28:28

I'm on the fence until they start coming into the supermarket. Then I'm like pro hunting.

Speaker 4 28:34

Not pro-bear until now.

Speaker 28:35

Like well, I don't want them out killing the zebras and the elephants and the leopards. Go kill the overpopulated bears in Japan. Perfect place for a hunter.

Speaker 3 28:46

Wow. That's a political statement. Well, how is a zebra better than a bear at the end of the day? Because they're cuter? No, because they're not overpopulated in that kill.

Speaker 4 28:55

We are in danger. We're not killing families before. We're in danger. Man, the seeds. Okay. You and Dinger Girl.

Speaker 3 29:03

I thought she was making it strictly about. I think it was all about looks for her. No, no. She's like the giraffes and the zebras there.

Speaker 29:13

No, those are like animals that could potentially get become extinct. These bears are all over the place. Well, there you go.

Speaker 4 29:23

For your shenanigans. That's a creature feature for sure. It's scary.

Speaker 3 29:27

That's a good idea. Like I could barely contain. Oh my god, I can't without.

Speaker 29:35

Well, I just want to throw out a quick little piece of hot tea. Oh. And it's not Halloween related, so I'm taking a sharp left.

Speaker 4 29:43

Oh.

Speaker 29:45

Well, Brooke Shield's daughter, Rowan, is filming for Next Gen NYC.

Speaker 4 29:51

Yeah. Oh.

Speaker 29:52

And this is exciting for me in two ways. One, this means there is, in fact, a second season. Yeah.

Speaker 4 29:58

Which I knew.

Speaker 29:59

And then three. I've always had a two.

Speaker 5 30:01

You mean two and C.

Speaker 30:05

I'm not good with math.

Speaker 3 30:07

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Speaker 30:10

Oh, God. I've always been a Brooke Shields fan.

Speaker 3 30:14

So that really came that was a hard luck.

Speaker 30:17

Yeah, I just, it's hot tea news. It's just like not a lot of people know. Apparently JJ did, but others do not. So I wanted to get it out there. I heard it.

Speaker 4 30:26

Yeah. Yeah. It's good. I'm excited about the next one.

Speaker 30:29

Yes, I think it'll be very good. Anyway.

Speaker 4 30:32

And I'm excited because Matty is in it too. Yeah.

Speaker 30:35

He's back home. Oh, next gen. Oh, I see.

Speaker 4 30:38

I'm like, No, you're on board with it. Like now. Like, yeah, we got you in.

Speaker 3 30:42

No.

Speaker 4 30:43

You're not interested. It's a reality show.

Speaker 3 30:44

If you don't have a reality show, you like survivor. That's competition. Correct. Yeah. So, Melissa, I think we are allowing you to do another product review, right?

Speaker 2 30:56

Yes. Thank you. I appreciate it.

Speaker 4 30:58

It's part of your interview process.

Speaker 3 31:00

So let's see how. Okay. Okay. You better be nervous. You better fucking nail this. Okay.

Speaker 2 31:08

Well, I just ordered glasses. I've had problems getting glasses that I like, that fit, and they're always a gazillion dollars when you go to the optometrist. It's like three, four, five hundred dollars when you get the progressive lenses. So I got for my birthday a gift card to Zenni Optical.

Speaker 4 31:29

It's like an online website.

Speaker 2 31:39

Anyway, I've got this gift card. Go to Zenni Optical. It's so easy. You sit at the computer, turn your camera on, you can try on all the glasses that they have, different colors, different everything. And they're so cheap. They are so cheap.

Speaker 4 31:58

How cheap you're talking about.

Speaker 2 31:59

Okay. I think the cheapest frames are like $10. No. Yes.

Speaker 32:04

I've just looked, I looked. Swap. A frame I liked was $6.95. Okay.

Speaker 3 32:11

Is this like Sheen for glasses? Is this like Sheen for glasses?

Speaker 2 32:16

I don't I think you can go all the way up. I think they do have designer glasses, but they're gonna be a fraction of the cost you would get elsewhere.

Speaker 3 32:23

You may not know the answer to this question, but do you know if it's an American company or is it like I don't know the answer to that? Because it could, I mean, it's sounding like what's the other one besides Sheen that you tee like for like fashion glasses. I mean $6.95.

Speaker 4 32:37

But you are wearing the glasses now and they are very I mean, one, they're my favorite color. Sally Jesse Raphael's. Yeah, red.

Speaker 2 32:44

Right red. Oh, and that's what's fun about it when you can get several pair. You can like go crazy and get some wild ones, you can get conservative ones. I ordered them. They came like within a week. Oh, wow. And I got progressive lenses, which are typically very expensive. I got two pair, and the red ones are actually um the year of the snake.

Speaker 3 33:12

Yeah. Oh, well, that screams so that's that's I was wondering that might support my Chinese company theory. Yeah, yeah, it could be.

Speaker 4 33:22

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 33:23

So they yeah.

Speaker 4 33:24

It's funny that you said that because when you were talking about the delivery, and I'm like, there it there comes the caveat because I was thinking that it's going to be like Matty's chairs that took like three months.

Speaker 3 33:35

They were on a boat for I didn't have a lot of things.

Speaker 2 33:38

Oh no, these came within a week, and they're perfect. I can see perfectly through them. And you would think ordering like a bio bottle belt, progressive lens.

Speaker 3 33:46

They look great on you.

Speaker 2 33:47

They wouldn't not have to go.

Speaker 3 33:48

So how much were these that you have on? Because we might try to.

Speaker 2 33:51

These were a little bit more expensive because they were the year of the snake and they were a gift card. Yes, and you got a gift card with progressive lenses, and I got sunglass clip, yeah, which sounds old lady. It does.

Speaker 3 34:05

Screams it.

Speaker 2 34:06

I but I showed you when I clicked them on, you couldn't tell that they weren't sunglasses. They did not I think these were like $60.

Speaker 4 34:18

Oh, wow. I thought that you wouldn't have to be like $200.

Speaker 3 34:21

She's no JJ, she said, well, these were a little more expensive. Progressives for $60.

Speaker 4 34:26

No, I was gonna say, because I'm now, I just had my eye um exam. I would say probably a couple weeks ago because of my I had my birthday uh a few weeks ago. Um, and I had to, like my doctor said, JJ, this is the time. We have to talk about either readers or progressive. Yep. I'm like, I am not doing it as well as orthopedic shoes. No. Oh many people. Oh, sorry. Like sorry. And but when I was like searching for it, I usually go with Warby Parker. They progressive start at $400.

Japan’s Bear Attacks And Hunting Debate

Speaker 35:01

Yeah, that's why this is crazy. I went to Warby Parker because everyone's like, oh, you they're so cheap. No, they're not. So now it's Zenni. I would use the Zenni Optical is Z E N N I. And we have it on our link tree. There's plenty of different frames. Yeah. And to answer your question, Zenni Optical is an American company. It was founded in 2003 comes in with the fence. And in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nice. So partly what I've learned, not before I knew about Zenni, but just in general, of like you exposed me last year, Matty, to Lens Direct, which is where I ended up getting. I bought frames elsewhere online for way cheaper. And then I did the lenses separately. Because the optical world, these frames they can make very cheaply. Right.

Speaker 4 36:10

I was wondering if they were making any money out of it.

Speaker 2 36:12

The reality is, most glasses are made of plastic. Correct.

Speaker 36:16

So it's very so it's just so overcharged. So they're taking out all the middlemen. You go straight to them, they're manufacturing and doing it all. Um, so that's how they're able to lower the prices. They also are very big into giving back to the community. And when also there's natural disasters, they give back all uh sorts of free.

Speaker 3 36:38

Are you talking about this? She was doing desktop research right here.

Speaker 4 36:44

Wow, like our amazing. This is why we love having an attorney with us at the table. Yeah, just she brings in the fact and swoop that is.

Speaker 2 36:56

Well, I wanted to some multitasking that you can do.

Speaker 3 36:59

She just, yeah. You're like, you know more than I do.

Speaker 4 37:02

Zenni Optical.com.

Speaker 2 37:05

Great. I've had many.

Speaker 4 37:06

And I will be ordering my glasses as well.

Speaker 3 37:08

I would prefer to get those in the mail than a severed hand. Well, crap. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 37:14

Good way to cut it.

Speaker 4 37:15

Are we ready for some slip it in simple outs?

Speaker 3 37:17

Yep, absolutely. You want to see it? I don't care about the order. I just want to go before.

Speaker 4 37:22

I'm going to start, and I'm going to start thanking Megan about this. My slip it in is Megan a few months ago gave me access to Sirius XM radio.

Speaker 37:34

Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 37:36

And that really has changed my life. That has changed my commute to work when I do go to work. Um, to the office. Yes. To the office. Um I and I will be completely grateful. I have to admit that now I'm a fan of Jeff Lewis, which she loves as well. That's my nightmare. What now it's like two against one. Yeah. Um, but I I I'm so grateful for Sirius XM.

Speaker 3 38:07

I am like, how does it make you feel to know that you've had such a positive impact on this young man?

Speaker 38:12

I love it. And I said when he said initially he didn't like Jeff Lewis, I'm like, I think if you listen to his show, you would really enjoy him because he's pure joy.

Speaker 4 38:23

And she came in with a code, and I'm like, she's like, JJ, just try it out one day one day. I try it out. I I'm in. I'm so in. I think I'm a chump. That's a chump. It's like a champ.

Speaker 38:35

That's what he calls his his listeners. Oh. Because Shannon Bador's husband was pissed about her talking about him on Jeff's uh radio shows. So he texted Jeff and said, You and all, you're you're just all chumps or something. And so now Jeff has like re-changed it to his listeners and his co-hosts. Yeah, I think I'm right.

Speaker 4 38:57

Yeah, I'm I'm probably a chump of Jason, but there. That's why slip it in something again. Thank you for CSX. You're welcome. Yeah. You're welcome.

Speaker 3 39:04

My pull out is also about it.

Speaker 4 39:06

It's for Matty.

Speaker 3 39:07

Oh, fuck.

Speaker 4 39:09

Talking about glasses. Oh no. Matty has this not match clip-ons.

unknown 39:17

Oh.

Speaker 2 39:18

That he uses.

Speaker 4 39:20

How dare you come after me when you are the well, the thing is that your clip-ons are meant to be for your glasses.

Speaker 3 39:29

Yes.

Speaker 4 39:29

So he found this clip-on somewhere else. In a nursing home? He puts his clip-ons to every single pair of glasses that he has.

Speaker 2 39:38

Oh my god. That's embarrassing. That is.

Speaker 4 39:41

The most ridiculous thing that he knows. He knows how it makes me feel. Here we go. Every time we're going on a road trip or something like that.

Speaker 3 39:52

His feelings are what I'm wearing.

Speaker 4 39:54

He hides the clip-ons on his like side pocket.

Speaker 3 39:57

This is getting fabricated.

Reality TV Hot Tea: Next Gen NYC

Speaker 2 39:59

Why don't you just have regular sunglasses?

Speaker 3 40:01

Well, I do, but I can't, I gotta have glasses to drive, and I don't have prescription sunglasses.

Speaker 2 40:06

You don't wear contact lenses?

Speaker 3 40:07

No, I've never.

Speaker 4 40:08

He doesn't.

Speaker 2 40:08

Zenni, have you ever tried?

Speaker 4 40:10

Zenni Optical.com.

Speaker 3 40:11

I don't think I'd like to.

Speaker 4 40:12

Yeah, but it's so ridiculous. Upgrade. You know, once we're done with this episode, I want him to bring in his clip-ons so that you can see them. It's a pull-out. I support that pull out on slip inside of it.

Speaker 40:23

Me too. And I just want to comment. Like that is like so like old man because you can buy a generic clip-ons, and that's what I'm questioning. Did you do? And now you're just putting them on everything. Like those. But even a generic clip-on is old.

Speaker 2 40:41

Like is that exactly. The clip-on has to be made specifically before you make frames.

Speaker 3 40:47

Okay, just tell me when you guys are done.

Speaker 40:50

They come with the frames that you buy, they come with their own specific clip-on. I think we should move on, but I think we should. Okay.

Speaker 4 40:57

Next next clip in. I'll look into it.

Speaker 40:59

Well, literally.

Speaker 4 41:01

Think of it. Optical.com.

Speaker 41:04

Well, or go to our Linktree and go to some there.

Speaker 3 41:08

Click Zenni clip-ons.

unknown 41:09

There you go.

Speaker 3 41:10

All right, research it. Okay, do you want me to go pair it with the glasses?

Speaker 4 41:15

I get it, you two random clip. Okay, go for it. They do sell random clips.

Speaker 41:19

That's what he's using that you shouldn't use.

Speaker 4 41:22

Yes. All right. Okay. The Zaddy Mike.

Speaker 3 41:24

Here's my, I'm going to flip these. I'm going to do pull it out first, flip it in second. Okay. So my pull it out is related to Melissa.

unknown 41:34

Oh.

Speaker 3 41:35

Oh, wow. That's a stupid. And it is a reprimand I received from her about 15 to 20 years ago. I don't know. Oh.

Speaker 2 41:46

Oh no. I'm nervous.

Speaker 3 41:48

It was the day Whitney Houston died.

Speaker 2 41:50

Oh god. Why is this a pull it out? Yeah. What made you think of that?

Speaker 3 41:56

It is a fond memory, but in that moment, the reprimand I got was so like fierce and intense.

Speaker 2 42:05

Well, I think you need to clue in the slippers.

Product Review: Zenny Optical Savings

Speaker 3 42:07

We were having a dinner mystery party and that she was hosting, and we were all in character, and suddenly I got an alert on my phone that said Whitney Houston has died. I thought it was apparently a big enough moment to bring that news to the 100%. She flipped the fuck out. And she was so angry because everybody's focused on Whitney's death. And they all were like, What? What happened? What's going on? And Melissa's like, silence! And she's like, I can't thanks, Matty, for ruining the entire dinner mystery party. Yes or no? Yes. Yes.

Speaker 2 42:45

But the bigger thing was no one should have had their phones out and about when we were in the middle of a mystery. I got a vibration. Why are you looking at the phone? I got a vibration.

Speaker 3 42:55

I got a vibe.

Speaker 2 42:56

And then the minute you said that, it was like everybody was in the world. Well, correct.

Speaker 3 43:01

Because she died.

Speaker 2 43:02

But how does that affect your life?

Speaker 3 43:04

Wow. Well, it's hard for me to stay in character as the butler when Whitney just died.

Speaker 4 43:11

That response is a pull-up.

Speaker 43:13

Well, and it was just a moment. Like we just all needed to discuss it, learn about the facts, and then we went back to the game.

Speaker 3 43:20

That's it.

Speaker 2 43:20

This is why it's a pull it out because I'm not going to be able to get like I'm getting fired up all over again.

Speaker 3 43:23

I can tell. And this is why I 20 years later. When I talk to Megan about it on the side, it's a slip it in. Because we are like, that's just slip it in. No, my slip it in is also I think Whitney Houston. I if I put you guys on the spot, you won't be able to name it. But I think she has a song. I don't even know the name of the song, but I know the lyric. And I think it is has always stood out as the best stringing together of words for a lyric of all time. Of any song. It's a song. No, it's my opinion. Okay. But like you should after today think about that for yourselves and like what song do you love? And like those words are so much. Are you gonna say what the lyric is? So her lyrics are if six of y'all went out, then two of you were pretty cheap because only two of you had dinner. I saw the credit card receipt. Oh wow. I just dropped the mic. I don't get it. I don't remember the song. It's not right, but it's okay.

Speaker 4 44:23

Oh, it's not right. If two of you are okay.

Speaker 44:27

I don't know. I don't know the song, and I'm not sure. I'm trying to understand the lyric. So she's saying some of you are cheap because you didn't order dinner and I paid the check.

Speaker 3 44:37

She caught him cheating. So he here's the Phil. Let me give you the narrative.

Speaker 44:44

Let me give you the lit the breakdown.

Speaker 3 44:47

So basically, you're thinking he's like, No, I was out with friends. It was six of us. And she's saying, if six of y'all went out, then two of you, four of you were pretty cheap because I only two of you had dinner. I saw the credit card receipt. So he was with a woman having dinner.

Speaker 4 45:05

That was that's a lyric.

Speaker 3 45:06

Isn't that like I like it? I like it. Right. I like it. Yeah.

Speaker 4 45:11

I love me some Whitney. Oh yes, what? R I P.

Speaker 3 45:14

Yeah. On the way here yesterday, we heard Greatest Love. Greatest love of all. Uh that's one of my favorite songs. Challenges.

Speaker 4 45:21

And one of my go-to karaoke songs is from Whitney. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 45:25

Well, and again, why it was so groundbreaking when she died. And we had to immediately know about it and talk about it. When you're out with friends, that's what you want to talk about.

Speaker 2 45:34

Or out with friends, not if you're in the middle of a mystery dinner party.

Speaker 45:37

It's the same thing. Yeah.

Speaker 4 45:38

Yeah.

Speaker 2 45:39

Who's next for some slippers and books? What if you were um in a play on a Broadway stage?

Speaker 3 45:46

This is not a good one.

Speaker 2 45:48

And you were acting and you're in the middle of a thing, and then all of a sudden the play stopped because Whitney Hoose snugging you guys all stopped.

Speaker 4 45:54

I would say in a play, if Broadway's going.

Speaker 2 45:59

No, the play would stop because you weren't starring in the play and you stopped.

Speaker 4 46:02

I don't think they would allow her phone on the stage.

Speaker 2 46:05

Well, it wasn't allowed at my dinner. I don't think this made it.

Speaker 3 46:09

This is not apples to apples.

Speaker 4 46:10

This is why it's a pull-out. It's I think we're ready for another pull out.

Speaker 46:15

I will say I have my slip it in. There you go. And I'm gonna get us back to our Halloween theme.

Speaker 4 46:22

Oh.

Speaker 46:23

Last time to wrap it up, Halloween candy is my slip it in.

Speaker 4 46:29

You like it.

Speaker 46:29

I love it. I get a little taste of candy because I try not to buy candy throughout the year. So then now we buy like a mixed bag from Costco. And usually a few days before Halloween, I'm like, let's get this bag open. And I get some sampling in. Um, and I get to taste it.

Speaker 4 46:48

Full-size bar or uh family size? I like this.

Speaker 46:50

We do this, this now, Costco. We get um at Costco the big bags of all the different stuff. Well, my pull it out.

Speaker 3 46:58

Wait, I want, you know what I thought you were gonna say for slip it in? This just came to me. And if you want to tell the little quick story, you can. I thought you were gonna say we have time for that. I think we do. Wow. Matty's dirty laundry costume.

Speaker 5 47:16

Matty? I didn't think you would.

Speaker 3 47:19

I can't let that costume. Well, there's a particular one. I don't know, but I don't think so. I mean, it has to come out today if it's gonna be discussed for this episode.

Speaker 4 47:29

Can we do it quick?

Speaker 47:30

Yes. So we were in college and it was Halloween weekend, and we were like, oh, we have to go out, but we have to be go to these parties, and they're like costume required. So we had to like just throw in, throw in, throw together costumes at the last minute. So we were just going through all of our stuff. So Melissa was like, Oh, I'll wear your bathrobe and put a mask on my face. And I went like, Oh, I'm gonna wear my tennis skirt and um I'll be a tennis girl. Matty was gone in his room getting ready, and he comes out, he's like, Oh, I'm dirty laundry. And he had he was wearing all white and he cut the bottom out of his laundry basket and put it around his waist. And we're like, oh, that's great. And he had a bunch of clothes in the basket around him and detergent, and then he put like some like underwear or something on his head. Yeah. But then as we're out at the bar, people start pulling clothes out of his laundry basket. Well, in there, he's got shit stained underwear. We just threw in some like t-shirts, and all clean.

Speaker 5 48:42

Oh my god. And I forgot to wear the tackle belt, and it was late at night, and it's not laundry on shitty underneath.

Speaker 3 48:55

You see why I had to stop the mom.

Speaker 48:58

You see why I had to throw that in the that is always a slip it in for me, and it is always my favorite costume he ever had.

Speaker 4 49:06

Yeah, I just can't. So it's hard to interrupt. There's always a situation with many.

Speaker 49:12

Yes, and the fact he just took his. We're like, why would you go with your real dirty clothes? Like, put in normal, clean clothes. He was out and about at all these parties all the night with the shit stained underwear and his battery.

Speaker 3 49:33

I'm sweating. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. I have a pull-out of my mascot and waving around.

Speaker 49:44

Yeah, it was crazy. Oh god. My pull out is also Halloween candy. I love it and I hate it. And I'm like, yeah. And then we seem to get less and less trick-or-treaters every year. So then we have so much left. And so I make the doctor take it to work because I'm like, get it out of the house.

Speaker 4 50:03

That's I can't have it around. I see it. Yeah. Yeah. Do you have a sip it in and pull out?

Speaker 2 50:07

I'm gonna do it backwards too. I'm gonna do my pull it out first, which is it no. Yes. My pull it out is all these carts. You have to put a quarter in to get the cart.

Speaker 50:20

Oh, we know.

Speaker 2 50:21

And sometimes it doesn't work.

Speaker 50:23

Oh, really?

Speaker 2 50:24

Sometimes I struggle with that quarter and it doesn't pop out. And then I'm like trying to navigate, getting this cart, and people are watching, and people are behind me. So the last few times I've gone, I just bring in a whole bunch of bags and I just put all of my stuff in bags so I don't have to deal with the quarterback.

Speaker 4 50:41

Plus, Aldi has a bigger cart, and Megan is not a fan.

Speaker 50:43

Exactly.

Speaker 2 50:44

I know that.

Speaker 50:45

I do the same thing if I go to Aldi. I bring in a bag for my shopping and I don't deal with a cart.

Speaker 2 50:50

But is it because of the size of the cart or the quarters?

Speaker 50:53

I don't like messing around with those machines. And I usually don't have a quarter to even use it. So I can't. That's right.

Speaker 3 51:00

Don't you get your quarterback? Yeah. Assuming everything goes according to plan. Yeah.

Speaker 4 51:04

Yeah.

Speaker 3 51:05

So you do. So that's incentive for them.

Speaker 4 51:08

Sometimes I just leave it for the next. You know, it's a quarter. Pay it forward. Yeah.

Speaker 51:12

I question, I mean, how many carts are really going away that they need to charge together?

Speaker 2 51:16

I think it's more than you have to go round. Correct.

Speaker 3 51:19

They don't have to pay an employee to like that's why they round up that 100% medi.

Speaker 51:24

Yeah. Good point. Okay.

Speaker 2 51:26

Okay. And then my slip it in is that my oldest daughter, who has moved out and lives with a group of friends, is staying here at the house for the next three weeks because her friends all are taking a trip to Japan and she didn't want to stay home alone. So I love having her here with my second daughter. And it's just it's so much fun when we're all here together.

Speaker 3 51:49

So that's my second idea. That's a nice sweet note to love it.

Speaker 51:52

Well, she might end up being permanently here because might be getting attacked by bears in Japan. Oh my god, you're right.

Speaker 3 52:04

Oh my God, we should do a wellness check. We must.

Speaker 4 52:08

We must tell them about it.

Speaker 3 52:10

Tell them not to go to the supermarket. No Aldi's for that.

Speaker 52:17

She's good. Oh, that is good, man. Tie it, man. That slip it in may become a permanent.

Speaker 4 52:23

Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 52:25

You better get the bed ready up there.

Speaker 3 52:27

Yes. One of the listeners.

Speaker 52:29
