Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:08

Hi Heather. Hi Dana. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. Good. We're back again. We love to say that. Yes, we're back. Guess who's back? I hate that my kids don't know that. Well, now they do. They're older. I used to do that to them all the time.

SPEAKER_01 0:22

I'm like, guess who's back?

SPEAKER_02 0:24

Back again.

SPEAKER_01 0:24

My ringtone is MM and they think it's the worst thing in the world. I'm like, I think this is so creative. Oh, depending on what song. It's like d-d-d-d-d.

SPEAKER_00 0:33

But he made a little comeback so the kids know him. Yeah. Well then they act, they act like not trying to push MM out of my kids, but like I'll do like guess who's back. And they're like, what is that? And I'm like, oh man. Pretty big fans over here. Because it's so little. Alright, random stuff today. Random. Let's just brunch it up.

SPEAKER_01 0:52

Random stuff today. Talk about all of our thoughts this week. And I do want to head it off because there's a big one, which it's like a little old now, maybe like a week old. But did you see all the Justin Timmerlake speaking of like throwback?

SPEAKER_00 1:03

Oh my gosh. Like do you get arrested again? Yeah. I saw some, like I scrolled by some things. And I'm not gonna lie, I'm a fan to an extent. Yeah. Some of this stuff, and it just happened with Tiger too. Oh yeah, yeah. I will not lie, this lowers my respect so tremendously because these are the richest people in the world. Hire a driver. That's what I said. And they're like, he wasn't drinking, whatever. He was taking prescription meds. I don't even care. Wait, Tiger? Tiger, I feel like they said his blood alcohol was like zero, but he had drugs in his pocket or like strong drugs that like maybe you don't drive with. Or again, super uninformed, scrolled by an article, did not like investigate. But I'm saying, like, it doesn't matter to me. Whatever's happening, unless there was a squirrel on the road, right? And you're trying to save the squirrel's life. What are we doing? You're gonna kill somebody.

SPEAKER_01 1:52

Yeah, and Justin Timberlake was like, oh, I just had one martini, and I'm like, listen, I can't. You have a martini. Like, it's pretty embarrassing. You can barely walk. Like, one martini doesn't do that.

SPEAKER_00 2:02

That knocks them down enough. And I've never been like a huge golf fan, so Tiger didn't have like many pegs to like go down in my butt like Justin Timberlake, like his music and stuff. I feel like this way about a lot of people now. Because I feel like the more you learn about people, you're like, I don't even feel like I can buy those albums anymore.

SPEAKER_01 2:17

After listening to Britney's book, I'm not a Justin fan anymore.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

That there's just a lot with him where I feel like, alright, I'll if a song comes on, I'm not gonna go looking for his music. I don't care about it enough. I feel like he's done enough. Yeah. Where I'm kind of over him.

SPEAKER_01 2:30

I will sing it if it comes on.

SPEAKER_00 2:31

Like I'm not like a little bit more. That's what I mean. It's nostalgic. I don't even know if he's currently making music. That's how I do not care about him. But all the old stuff is nostalgic. So I'm like, all right, I'll listen to this. Same with Will Smith. Oh, I do love him so. I can't yike him anymore. He's like decked somebody. I just it knocks him down enough that I'm kind of it gives me a bad taste in my mouth and I'm like, wait, what is it?

SPEAKER_01 2:57

No. Chris Rock. Nope. What's his name? I don't know, but the images popping into my mind right now are placeless. Not Chris Rock. Kevin Hart. Was it Kevin Hart? I thought it was Chris Rock. Chris Rock. I think it's Chris Rock. Okay. Wrong, same, same thing. Wrong round.

SPEAKER_00 3:11

I just feel like yeah. Knocks him down a little in my estimation. Yeah, I could see that.

SPEAKER_01 3:15

Okay. No, what was funny about it though was the cop either had zero inclination of who he was. Oh, okay. Or played it up really good. Yeah, see, I didn't watch like the whole video. Oh my gosh, it's so funny. And he was like, What are you what are you in town for? And he's like, I'm on a w a world tour. Uh-huh. And the cop was like, What is that? Like, for what? And Justin Timberlake was like, It's hard to explain. Um, Justin Timberlake?

SPEAKER_00 3:40

I could like hear his voice doing it too. Like, it felt like a Jimmy Fallon skit.

SPEAKER_01 3:44

Like, I was like, is this real?

SPEAKER_00 3:46

Like the cop was just like, is this all like pre-recorded? Like uh, it does sound like a Saturday Night Live skit or something.

SPEAKER_01 3:52

The cop literally, like, again, either a good pack or that cop was like Tim. Okay, Mr. Pag. I think he called, I think he was like, okay, Mr. Lake. First name was Timberlake. He's like, I'm Justin Timberlake. Timberlake. And he's like, all right, Mr.

SPEAKER_00 4:11

Lake, that makes the story better for me because that's, I feel like that's the image I have of him just driving around thinking the whole world knows who he is, and then some cap and like rural whatever. It's like sorry, Mr. Lake. And then what does that mean?

SPEAKER_01 4:26

Whoever he was with, I'm assuming Jessica Beale. It did sound like which is his wife. Yeah, it did sound like her. But in the audio, it's not on camera. You can hear her like pleading with the cop, saying, like, please, for just even if even just because you love Crimea River or like something like that. And I'm like, girl, he doesn't he's looking at him.

SPEAKER_00 4:45

He doesn't know who they're doing. That makes the story worse for me. He doesn't listen to Crimeer River. Like so many times.

SPEAKER_01 4:52

She was like in a different car or something. Again, no excuse. Hire a driver. And that's how I feel.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

Hire a driver. I know. Oh, you got a sports car? You can ride in the back of it. I don't care. Or just don't drink anymore. He was clearly like messed up. No, I keep scrolling past the videos, and I'm enough with him where I'm just like, I don't even need to see this anymore.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

I mean, listen, hey, we all make mistakes, but that's the kind of mistake that could like end someone's life. Yeah. That was funny though.

SPEAKER_00 5:20

That's the thing with me. It's not like them treating an employee bad at a hotel, and you're like, oh, we have video of Justin Timber like being a jerk or not tipping his waitress. Like, this is like life and death. Right. Get your life together. You have all the resources. Figure it out. So we never have to see this again.

SPEAKER_01 5:37

And this actually happened a long time ago, and he has done like his best to try to get it from coming out, but it came out.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 5:46

Which is just shows you it was like, yeah, social media nowadays, it's actually terrifying. Yeah. It is at you cannot like gone are the days of like having a bad day and flipping out on someone. Like, listen, which I know not everyone's bad days look the same. Those days are gone. Because if some all it takes is someone with a camera. Are you seeing the the poor old lady? Well, I shouldn't say that, because what she was saying was wrong. So I I take that back.

SPEAKER_00 6:14

See, that's the other thing, too, is like you're never getting a complete story. Yes. You always get like, well, this is what happened. Even when we were watching the news recently, and there's like all these things that are happening in the world, and it's like, oh, but there's citizens with cell phone cameras, and you're like, I guess. I know. But like you just never, uh, you never get the whole story. Oh, yeah. I feel like angles, I don't everything's different.

SPEAKER_01 6:34

I don't know where you go. What did this poor old lady go through to get the full story? But no, she I say poor old lady only because she clearly has no idea what the world is like now. Oh. Not because of her actions, because her actions were wrong. What she was typing in her phone was um racist. Oh, I didn't see this. Okay, so I take back my I only have compassion for the sketch that I take I have my compassion for the fact that like who whoever her family is, like, inform her. Like, you know. Oh, yeah. She was typing something, she was at like a game. Okay. Baseball? Would it be baseball right now? Girl. Do you even know who you're talking to? She was at a game of sports. And she was they were doing the sports. They were doing many sports. And she was typing something out, and the person behind her zoomed in. Yeah, that's not fair though. It's not fair because it's like she's ignorant.

SPEAKER_00 7:25

Just let her be ignorant without being part of the episode.

SPEAKER_01 7:27

What she was typing was ignorant. That that I don't condone.

SPEAKER_00 7:31

I'll have to go home and Google this one.

SPEAKER_01 7:32

Posted it on TikTok. It is every this woman's reputation is like, and people are common for her. They're like, we want her name, we want her address.

SPEAKER_00 7:41

Yeah, it's the whole like canceling people or whatever thing.

SPEAKER_01 7:44

Yeah, or the judge. Did you see that's the newest one I just saw? Which one? The one who got in the car accident? No, the judge that like told off the IT guy.

SPEAKER_00 7:52

No.

SPEAKER_01 7:52

So the the judge had like uh an issue with his computer.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

Oh. Calls the IT guy in. You cannot just be a bad human anymore without the thought, which is probably a good thing. Yeah. As long as it's not who you are at your core. If it's a bad moment, right? That's okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:11

And the IT guy came in. It's actually kind of funny because like the guy's like, no, no, no, just is this a local story or no? It's like all over the place. The local one though, with the woman driving. Is that the one you were talking about?

SPEAKER_00 8:22

There's no, I feel like there was a local judge who just got in a car accident, like ran into the city.

SPEAKER_01 8:27

No, there was a local lady on FaceTime with court, and she was driving. Yeah, no, I just didn't.

SPEAKER_00 8:35

Love stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01 8:36

And he was like, Are you driving?

SPEAKER_00 8:37

She was clearly messed you.

SPEAKER_01 8:40

And he's like, the seatbelt is coming out. She's like, uh, someone else is driving. Show me the driver. I have to ask their permission. Like, I'm like, girl. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00 8:48

People are wild.

SPEAKER_01 8:49

No, the IT guy comes in to help the judge and can't find the problem. And he's like, Oh, here, like, you're good to go. And the judge was like, Oh, well, it was happening. And the judge sat down, and the IT guy was like, Oh, whatever, false alarm. And the judge was like, No, don't say that. Stop joking around. Get out of my courtroom. Like, oh my. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:07

And people are like, You might be taking yourself too seriously if you can't. Yeah, buddy. Like, back to our red flags episode when we talked about like, listen, if you're flipping out on some poor person who's trying to like make your day easier by like taking care of your computer or whatever, like you might be the problem.

SPEAKER_01 9:25

The stuff like that I see again, and I I even I tell my mom, because listen, older generation, I mean, my mom's a lovely lady, she wouldn't like say some of these things, but like she's not used to that. So I'm like, hey Ma, if you ask for a manager, like can you just say FYI might be on the internet? You might end up on the arrow.

SPEAKER_00 9:44

I just need you to know, like, you really cannot no, but I think about that in things like when I I'm trying to think when I just thought about it. I don't know if it was like a school activity or something, and it just occurred to me like, oh, there's a lot of like teens and their phones in this environment. Everything could be on camera. Always. So I do have like a little bit of a heightened aware. Not that I'm like, I don't even know what the situation was. I wish I could remember. Let's just say it was like a volleyball game at school or something, but like it doesn't even matter. Like the parents aren't getting out of control or anything. Something just made me think, like, oh, you just never, you never know who has like something on their phone of you. But then the other part of me is like, nobody's videotaping me. I'm not that important. Like, I don't do anything that that's hopefully. I mean, I'm not yeah, I don't know anymore. I mean berating any employees of like the local restaurants or anything.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

I just feel like I and I have I already have like an RBF. I feel like everywhere I go I have to be like, Hello!

SPEAKER_00 10:45

Nobody I mean like TMZ's not following us around. But like it does, I don't know. It's wild to me though, that celebrities and I feel like some of this comes with the whole, okay, well, you're famous, so this is the price you have to pay. But like, can you imagine living your life knowing? Not even thinking, oh, it's possible that somebody could be recoiled a hundred percent. You just go out in public and people like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, it's just in Timberlake or whatever, or some video from the interrogation room. Like, you just know that stuff's happening, they're following you nonsense.

SPEAKER_01 11:20

I was just listening to I like um Chloe Kardashian's podcast, and she was interviewing Kim and asked her hilarious. Let's talk. I mean, it's what we're doing. Let's talk about like on camera, right? But she asked her when's the last time you've been to the grocery store, and she's like, like 20 years. She can't. Like, how is she gonna do it?

SPEAKER_00 11:40

They don't live a normal life. Yeah, they're so far removed from like what it is to be a normal person. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:45

Oh, there was another one that I saw too that's like blowing up, and it actually makes me feel like sick to my stomach. But another thing people are doing are like they'll be like in an airport and they'll be like, Oh my gosh, that guy is beautiful. Like, I think he's my soulmate. And instead of walking up and introducing yourself or seeing if he's single or whatever, uh-huh, they take a picture of this person, put it on TikTok, and say, Tic tac, do your job, find this man.

SPEAKER_00 12:09

Oh my gosh, that's so creepy, right? Again, you better be pretty beautiful yourself if you're gonna find somebody that way. You're taking a lot of liberties, and it's honestly really creepy.

SPEAKER_01 12:20

It's super creepy. So this girl does this, shows a video of her dancing with this guy in a bar and says, I found my soulmate, which you know, I showed it to Ryan. Just to ask him. His name is like Steve Johnson. We're so lives three blocks away from the room. We're so like from a different generation that when I when I showed it to Ryan, Ryan was like, I don't understand. He's in the video looking at it. Right. She asked him there, and I was like, No, no, you're not, you're missing the point. Stick with me here. Weird. So she's like, I found my soulmate the other night. Like, we danced all night, blah, blah, blah. Tick tock, fine.

SPEAKER_00 12:52

Real Cinderella situation happening.

SPEAKER_01 12:54

I all I know is his name is Mike, and it's her dancing, and it's him whispering like in her ear, and they are clearly vibing. They are okay. Great. First comment on the post. Hello, that is my husband. Yeah. I mean uh he is now explaining to our two children what this is about. My entire life is upside down. It actually ended up being wonderful for this woman, not wonderful because of the news. Yeah. Then she then had all this support of all these women on this thing saying, like, oh my gosh, I got other. She said, like, I won't, I'm gonna stop responding now. I appreciate all your support, but like my life is in shambles now. Like, and thank God she found out that she's married to a creep, and I guess now she can start a new life.

SPEAKER_00 13:36

Oh, right.

SPEAKER_01 13:37

Horrible, horrible.

SPEAKER_00 13:39

Can you just introduce yourself to people, please? Maybe Steve wasn't even giving out his real name though, because he was being a jerk.

SPEAKER_01 13:44

Those are the moments where I'm like, I'm not cut out for this world. Like, uh, it's not happening to us.

SPEAKER_00 13:50

We're just walking around Macon. No one's like posting me like I found my soulmate. I've had zero internet dramas, thank God. I have a pretty clean record. Yeah. So um, okay, this is so random and not nearly as juicy as that, but I felt like you would have an opinion about it. Did you see that Ruth's Chris came out with their, hey, listen, we have a dress code and you guys gotta respect it? It's been like a real controversial news story. No, because they're like Ruth's Chris, which I hate even saying, and we can talk about that name in a minute. Like, what are we doing? I hate that name. Why is there an apostrophe? Ruth's Chris. But they must have done something publicity-wise, where they were like, heads up, we still have a dress code, it's business casual. If you're dining in the restaurant, who's go what are the what were people wearing? Oh, I don't know, but like uh violating their dress code. So, like, and honestly, it says it sounds like business casual. So I feel like me and you kind of know what that is. And then I think it's explicitly like so no ball caps, no tank tops, you know what I mean? Like no flip-flops, whatever. You have to like explicitly say what's not business. Right. And then it wasn't even that they wouldn't serve you or anything, it was like maybe go eat in our bar or out on the patio. Because in here, I was like, and people are coming for them about how it's like outdated or like that's not the way the world is. And I was wondering what your take was. Because honestly, I'm kind of like I don't hate it. I don't know, I support it a thousand percent. Yeah, like we're trying to do maintain a little something right in this piece here. You could literally eat at the bar or the I don't know, it was just very controversial. It's it's to me, it's respectful because I saw the initial like news article or whatever it was about like Ruth's Chris doubling down on their dress code, and I was kind of like, good for that. Oh, yeah, no, I've seen it. Not even thinking like in uh three days or whatever it would be like. Ruth's Chris taking a lot of heat for their dress, and I'm like, I see it though. Like everybody's walking around pajama pants, I get it, but like then you cannot eat at Ruth's Chris, pick another restaurant, go to Applebee's and your pajama pants. That's okay, nobody's gonna kick you out of Applebee's. I support it, yeah. I thought it was good. I was like, I love that they're like, could we just keep this space, this space, yeah, for our you know, we determine what is like classy enough or whatever. And again, business casual is not uh it's not black tie. No, I love that some people are like, no, not we're not accepting, like we're not absorbing all the like casual infiltration of like everything's just gotta be real casual.

SPEAKER_01 16:15

Yeah, no, I love that. And my question to the people fighting it would be so then why are you going there? Like you're because you go to Ruth Chris to get a nice meal, a nice environment, it's a it's uh uh an elevated dining experience.

SPEAKER_00 16:30

No, based on what you're gonna pay or whatever, this is not the same as like a casual dining place. So then what's the issue? I don't know. Wild to me. I guess maybe if you're out and about and you want like a nice dinner, but you didn't plan ahead for going to Ruth's Crest. Maybe you have on something that's like outside of their dress code. But in that moment, I also feel like you go like, okay, so we'll just eat at the bar, or we'll skip Ruth's Christ and go somewhere else. I just don't feel like people ever want to be told what they can and can't do.

SPEAKER_02 16:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:59

It's just like human nature. Like, don't you tell me I can't wear flip-flaps. That's my favorite thing to do, is tell people what to do. I'm really good at it. I'm so good at it. But I guess I don't want to be told either. But I never have a problem with that. When we go on vacation and you're gonna go to like a nice place, maybe it's on the water, like you guys are in Naples or something. Sometimes it'll be like, listen, we know we're by the water, but like no flip-flaps, no tank taps, and you're just kind of like, yeah, because I don't want this to feel like I'm at the beach with like a hot dog. Like, I want the nicer experience so acceptable. Even though I'm on vacation, I'll still like I tell my kids bring some dress-up clothes. Yes, and that just means like a sun dress, not Nike pros, right? Like, because we're gonna go have a nice dinner on the water. They're 10 and 12, like they get it. I don't know. It's just respect.

SPEAKER_01 17:49

I don't know. We were at the DAC. Ryan was dressed beautifully.

SPEAKER_00 17:52

Detroit Athletic Club.

SPEAKER_01 17:54

Oh, sorry, Detroit Athletic Club. Just want to make sure. Nice pair of uh slacks. Slacks, he had khakis, he had some khakis on, like a nice, like you know, polo shirt, some nice shoes or whatever. It had to be um a button-up like shirt and tie. Yeah, they gave him one. Oh wow.

SPEAKER_00 18:16

Like huge. He was wearing his wearing his grandpa's. Literally, he was like, I can't believe that. Oh, Ryan, too. Uh some guys would not care.

SPEAKER_01 18:24

He was probably like dying. The worst, the worst one for that to happen too. But he kept it on because he's like, What are you doing?

SPEAKER_00 18:30

But they didn't kick you out. They were like, hey, hit our shirt closet. You want to stay, you gotta wear this shirt. You're wearing like some dude's shirt. But I do feel like there's certain places you go just accepting. There might be some rigidity here. Yeah. I'm buying into that to some extent. Yeah. I thought we would vibe on that, but I wasn't sure. Also, I don't understand why they're named that. I should google it. Isn't the worst name in the world to say? Yes. You feel like you're doing it wrong every time. You're like Ruth's Chris. Or it sounds like Christ. Is it Ruth's Christ? Why do we have two first names in a row with an apostrophe? Must maybe it was named Heather's Crest. I have a crust. I wouldn't call them Heather's Crus. That's awkward. We'll have to look up. We'll Google it sometime. Not right now.

SPEAKER_01 19:11

Uh speaking of that, I know we talked about it like a long time ago, but the Matt Gala theme was announced a while ago. And there's uh this year it's fashion is art, which I think is funny. Because like, duh.

SPEAKER_00 19:22

And like implied, but it does feel like that gives them so much liberty to just go crazy. I do think this year's gonna be a little wild. I'm picturing like they're just like flat with two portraits on either side of them, like canvas. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. You know, I don't get into that stuff, so I'll see whatever is wild enough to like blow up my feed after it's happening or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 19:49

It should be interesting.

SPEAKER_00 19:50

I honestly feel like lazy. That doesn't even sound that like interesting because it's like we know that. Because you're expressing your artistic vision.

SPEAKER_01 20:01

Lame theme. They gave up Ryan has always taught our kids everything is art. Like everything is art. Yeah, right. It's like, okay, yeah, so is fashion. All right, can't wait to see this. Yeah, I mean, I I will see.

SPEAKER_00 20:13

I will see whoever's like breaking ground. It'll be Kim Kardashian. It just seems like it's like giving they're like ratcheting it up a little bit to be like go extra crazy. There's it's not even fashion, it's art now.

SPEAKER_01 20:26

I'm excited for that. I thought I'd tell you about that.

SPEAKER_00 20:28

Maybe we will touch base after if it's super interesting. Oh, you know what will be. Yeah, even though like I have like such a resistance to that stuff too. I just like rich people fun, and I'm like, nobody looks like that.

SPEAKER_01 20:40

I guess you just kind of see the pictures online. It's not interesting. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 20:42

I just scroll through and I'm like, oh, that's interesting. Because it's a gala, it's not interesting. I wouldn't go searching for it either. No, like even the awards shows, and I know we talked about this. I'll scroll through. Like, what did people wear? Is it interesting or not? Oh, that's pretty, oh, that's crazy. I can't like sit through an awards show anymore. I don't care about anything enough. Yeah. Not music, not film. Me neither. If something crazy happens, I'll hear about the next day. Yeah. Which is kind of how I do all my like consumption. I feel like I don't know. If I hear a movie's really good, I'll like check it out or something. But I don't know. Yeah, I'm the same. I don't have the patience for it. Alright. What else you got? Any random thoughts we should hash out?

SPEAKER_01 21:25

Uh I was thinking the other day, um because I saw a reel or something about it. Are you are you lotioning your body after every single shower?

SPEAKER_00 21:36

No, and I should because I have like winter dry skin still. Like we are not into the yeah. And I think it's age. I've always had like oily skin. I do have like I've never had dry skin issues. Now I do. Yeah. So I feel like because you shave and stuff too, like my legs are dry.

SPEAKER_01 21:53

It's like a it's like a very controversial thing.

SPEAKER_00 21:56

Wait, why? Oh, people are like I feel like I should be doing it, I'm not.

SPEAKER_01 22:01

Oh, people are like, there are people out there that take a shower and then just get dressed and don't lotion their bodies.

SPEAKER_00 22:06

Oh, that's like controversy. Yeah, it's not that it's not a crime.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

Right.

SPEAKER_00 22:10

Yes. But also, I do feel like it's just so exhausting. All the like maintenance that sometimes, like in a pinch, when I'm in a rush, it's not happening. Yeah. If I'm like in the I'm gonna take a long, luxurious shower and pluck my eyebrows and do all the things today, then it's like, of course. But a lot of my life is lived in a pinch. I feel like I'm always rushing and I don't give myself enough time. So I don't do as much as I should.

SPEAKER_01 22:34

And I don't like to be cold. I have a very big issue. I take issue with that. You're a robe girl. I'm a robe girl, and like when I get out of the shower, even the moment of grabbing my towel and putting my towel on and walking out of the shower with a towel on before I put my robe.

SPEAKER_00 22:49

Roll my towel over up. It's painful. I actually hang it over the door. Yeah. And I don't even turn the water off until I have my towel on. Yeah. Let me help you level up. Put your towel on the door of the shower.

SPEAKER_01 23:00

Well, I keep it right outside.

SPEAKER_00 23:02

Keep the steam happening. Yeah. Don't even turn the well, I mean, we have a similar shower rate. Stand, walk in. Yeah. I mean, it's like you don't even because you know the second you turn the water off, it's like, oh my god, it's so cold. I let it keep going and I just like stay out of the spray. This is a good situation. In the summer, I can't get out of the shower fast enough. I'm like, crank up the AC. I gotta blow dry my hair now. Yeah. I get hot.

SPEAKER_01 23:26

I'm all I don't know. I'm always cold. And what I found was I now keep my lotion and my body oil. Huh? I do one. I wish I had a towel. I don't.

SPEAKER_00 23:36

You don't have one. No. Okay. Do you do? No, but I was no. Are you kidding? No.

SPEAKER_01 23:40

I feel like I'm like running away.

SPEAKER_00 23:41

But I feel like it's one of those foughtie things that you see on Amazon.

SPEAKER_01 23:44

You're like, oh, I need that.

SPEAKER_00 23:45

And I'm like, how pampered am I?

SPEAKER_01 23:48

If I had the space in my bathroom and like where I could put that where it wasn't an eyesore, I would. Um, but I keep all my stuff in the shower now, and I literally the now if it's oil, I will put on my wet skin. Like it won't even dry off. Lotion, I'll take my towel and just like pat dry and lotion right in the shower before I even step out.

SPEAKER_00 24:07

Okay, because you still have the warm and because once I'm out, forget it.

SPEAKER_01 24:10

I'm not gonna stand there and lotion myself in the cold.

SPEAKER_00 24:13

I was gonna say, so are you not doing it too? Or you are or what?

SPEAKER_01 24:16

I am not doing it. I'm doing it. I'd probably every other shower. I'm trying to be more than that.

SPEAKER_00 24:23

I feel like there's times a year where it matters more. And like in the winter, I definitely see now that I have like older, yeah, drier skin. But I was like mortified. I was like, geez, I felt like judged. I know. Sorry if I judged you because you have a towel warmer too. I think that's beautiful. But I do feel like people are like, what? And you're like, oh man, what are we up? What are we also not doing? Calm down.

SPEAKER_02 24:44

Jeez.

SPEAKER_01 24:46

I bet they're also buying um the appropriate egg size, which is another like thing that I was thinking. Oh. Are we all just buying extra large eggs? And then when the recipe calls for a large egg, I just use an extra large egg. Who's buying?

SPEAKER_00 24:58

I usually buy large eggs, but it went through an extra large egg face. I just feel like because they were more readily available. Sometimes I feel like they don't have them in stock. I would always prefer extra large. And I don't feel like anybody cares about that. I just thought all like, why aren't all eggs the same size? I don't know why. Who's buying medium eggs? Any of them? What are you doing with them? I don't know, but my daughters make their own food sometimes. Yeah, bless. And uh somebody, I don't remember which one, was like, what the heck with the eggs that you bought? And I was like, I don't know, what did I do wrong? They're so thin, I barely tapped it, and it like like exploded. And I was like, I feel like that's the chicken's fault. I don't think ownership of this. I'm like, how is this my fault? Like, I picked out thin eggs. Like I purposely brand her and they will stop by. Um she was like mad, and I was like, I really feel like this is not the chicken. I don't feel like I could have done anything differently in that grocery store. But I was like, maybe this is a thing. I don't know. I was like, I don't know, farmer's fault. It should have fed her more calcium in her grain. I don't know. We're I've never I feel like I used the eggs and I didn't notice it. But like it wouldn't surprise me if there's some weird thin-shelled eggs out there. I never buy like they're cutting costs everywhere. Sure inflation. How can you even do that? Like, we feed the chickens a little less, the eggs are a little thinner, they'll never notice. I'm a conspiracy like girl. I'm like, they're probably doing that on purpose. I wouldn't be shocked. It's they're saving somebody's saving money. That's gonna be a good one. It was just probably a full egg. My kid was like real upset about it. She's like, exploded over the counter and went on the floor. I'm like, how hard are you hitting these eggs?

SPEAKER_01 26:34

Who taught you to crack an egg? Wow. Yeah. No, I was thinking of that the other day because I was making brownies for the kids. They had like two friends over.

SPEAKER_00 26:42

The recipe is a suggestion.

SPEAKER_01 26:44

Me too. I was like, large egg. I'm like, well, all I have is extra large and that's all I'm ever buying, so that's gonna work. I feel like I saw an article once just to boost you up.

SPEAKER_00 26:53

That uh barefoot contessa, what's her name? Yeah. You know, you know, Ina Garten. Yes. Said something like, I feel like my baking changed when I started switching to extra large eggs. Like extra large eggs were a secret. Like more egg good. Yeah. And I was like, I just scrolled past it. I'm always like, Yeah, great, that sounds right. And I don't ever read anything in depth. But I feel like she said that. Like I switch, I only use extra large eggs or something. I was like, pfft, makes sense to me. And I also only buy salted butter. Oh, yeah, me too. I actually get really mad about people where they're like, absolutely under no circumstances use salted butter. And I'm like, Why? I will never not. No, it tastes fine, it may taste better than yours. Yes, I don't I always think things need a pinch of salt. We've discussed this before. And I will never stop buying salted butter.

SPEAKER_01 27:37

Never. In fact, I just paid nine dollars for one single thing of butter from front.

SPEAKER_00 27:43

Oh, I was like, why?

SPEAKER_01 27:45

That's from front.

SPEAKER_00 27:46

Front butter.

SPEAKER_01 27:47

And it has crystal like large chunks of like crystallized salt inside the butter.

SPEAKER_00 27:52

Do you ever watch those girls like on what's it called, TikTok or Instagram, make their own butter and then sprinkle like sea salt on it? And I'm like, that does look good.

SPEAKER_01 28:00

No, but on Slavic TikTok, they eat this butter on brown bread, and you slice it thick like a slice of cheese. Like you want to see like a slab of butter. You want to see the teeth marks in your butter. So I was like, I must do this. That sounds amazing, right? It's delicious. Did you? Was it worth the nine dollars? Yeah, it was really good butter.

SPEAKER_00 28:18

I will say there's probably a huge quality range when it comes to like butter. Whatever's on sale is like what I end up getting, and I'm like, how much is it changing the things? Because I'm not like smearing it on toast. It's usually going in a dish or getting baked in the cookies, but I'm sure there's a huge quality difference.

SPEAKER_01 28:33

That is different. But like then Gianni was making eggs and he like used it, and I was like, no, that's not that's not egg butter. That is consumption.

SPEAKER_00 28:41

It's consumption butter only, like on brown bread. You taste that with your tongue, you don't put that in anything else. We do this like this. Yeah. Oh no, I should try it. But then I feel like then I won't want to buy regular butter. Oh god. So good. But how I mean, how often are we eating butter like that? That's what I'm saying, never, so I don't care about the taste. Yeah. I mean, I care about it. If it tasted like plastic, I would be probably noticeable. I'm always just buying Kroger. But when people were doing the trend where they were stuffing dates with butter, yeah. Did you see that? I tried it. I was like, meh, maybe my butter's not good though. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I do love dates. This was like this looks that's what I mean. If I had like French butter and sea salt, it probably would have been a different experience. So good. I had like Kroger butter.

SPEAKER_01 29:23

Yeah. I I don't know. I'm I guess I'm curious about that because I'm like, who's I don't know, I'm always just buying it.

SPEAKER_00 29:27

I feel like every recipe chef, everybody's always like, don't get salted butter under those circumstances. And I'm like, I don't know who hurt you, but like, why are you so firm on this? I've never tasted a cookie and been like, I think if I would use unsalted butter, these would be better. Like sprinkle those with salt or something. Yeah, maybe we have a sort of thing. High crust. Maybe. But also, I don't know. But they're probably just adding more salt to their recipe. And then does it matter? I don't think so. No. But have you been following the Savannah Guthrie thing? Yeah. Is it wild that there's still like there's no conclusion? Yes. It's heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking because I just saw her interview or whatever. Again, scrolled, did not read it in depth, but she was saying, like, I can't help but feel like this is me because I'm the famous one. Or that's not fair. I felt so like sad for her that she would achieve this like level of being, and she's not like some trashy celebrity, like she's you know, somebody that people want to like wake up and watch a news show or whatever. She's an attorney. It seems so like down to earth and achieve this level of success, and then to feel like that's what contributed to the worst thing that's happening in your life is horrible.

SPEAKER_01 30:37

And clear, like I obviously, we're all thinking the same thing, like it's not looking really good. That's what I'm like.

SPEAKER_00 30:45

I'm a little bit like floored that there's no solution, resolution. Yeah, like if she's a celebrity, gosh, if they can't do this for her, like what choice or not what choice, what chance do the rest of us have with like I know a mystery?

SPEAKER_01 30:58

And I feel awful. Like, so many people are picking so many things apart about it, and like naturally their first inclination is like it's an inside job, and she was a part of it, and it's like, could you not lay this on? Like, does she have to read it?

SPEAKER_00 31:11

So those are the people on TikTok or or not TikTok, uh like Facebook when a house burns down and they're like, uh, probably insurance stuff, and you're like, Right. I mean, my first thought was like, was it the curling iron? Yeah, I do that.

SPEAKER_01 31:23

Like, yeah, people are vicious. Yeah, no, I feel horrible. And I I follow this one guy, he's from like Jersey or something, and he has like a whole series and he comes on every day and is he goes, Where's Nancy? Like, so like I hear that, like, and he's like trying so hard to like find her, and I'm like, I don't know where she's at. Like, it's been he's like a countdown. It's been like two months.

SPEAKER_00 31:44

That's what it's just I don't know. I don't know why it like blows my mind that like with all the resources that they could potentially have at their disposal, that there's still no like solution. It's heartbreaking. I feel so bad.

SPEAKER_01 31:55

Well, and it's terrifying too because you think you have everything, like it sounded like she had like a security system, she had a ring camera, yeah. There's always like videos of the guy in a ski mask or whatever, so there's clearly just came. It's like that's like 90s stuff. Like, what was her name? Like Jessica was the one that fell down the sewer. There was somebody else. Or are we talking about somebody who disappeared from a sleepover? Because like then I couldn't have sleepovers until like high school. Because my mom was like, No, they're coming through the windows and they're taking them. And I was like, ah! Like I forget your kids. Yeah, I forget who it was, but I was like, they like went in and took her.

SPEAKER_00 32:34

But yeah, that's what's really like disheartening, is and I don't feel like we're gonna be victims of like somebody just coming through my window and stealing any of us, but it does feel like gosh, she has so many resources. It's kind of like what we were just talking to about like some of the celebrities that passed away recently, and they had like GoFundMe's, or they had like you know, they had to like stay on their insurance of their spouse. And you're like, okay, all these millionaire people, and like they don't even have like the resources to like keep good health care. Yeah, I don't know. It is very heartbreaking. Yeah, so bad when I saw that interview with her, like if I brought this on in any way or whatever, and I'm like, that's not fair.

SPEAKER_01 33:15

Oh, it was people are just evil. So her talking about like it's unimaginable. Like, I she can't even get through the day, like thinking about somebody standing over her bed and like her mom waking up to that. Like you can't.

SPEAKER_00 33:26

I'm gonna use that as a hopefully my daughter won't mind, but is a little segue into like just mom and dad brains, or like we've talked about this at length with our husbands. Like, my youngest came into our room in the middle of the night. I'm not gonna embark embarrass her by giving all the details, but she had had some kind of traumatic nightmare. Oh okay, so she's like sobbing in the middle of the night, and I'm trying to, you know, you get woken out of sleep, so you're just like, what is happening? And her thing was like, there was a guy. There was a guy in my room and he was pulling on me. And so, like, what is your reaction right now? Like, what are you doing if your daughter tells you that in the middle of the night? Jump up and search the house. I'm like, I didn't process yet that like maybe this was a weird nightmare, or there was a guy and he was pulling on me. I'm like a biblical character. Boom, out of bed, like sitting up, like holding her. And I'm like, Chris, go search the house. And he's like, oh, it's mine. It wasn't that like he was like, oh, it was probably a nightmare. Like, I have daughters, so I'm thinking, if somebody did break into our house, like you go verify, right? That there's not a dude in our house. It was like mind-numbing to me that he was just like, uh, what where do you want me to go? I was like, how are you not in her bedroom already? Also, please check on our other daughter, right? Because if there's a dude in our house, like, go there first. And like, it took us a while to get to the bottom of like, because she did not, she's big. It's not like she doesn't know what a nightmare is. She felt like this was happening. Wof. In the middle of the night, I was like, we gotta talk about their reaction time. I was like, how are you not searching the house? Like, I was like, my mind was like, there's somebody in her house. This is happening. Like, all of my worst fears are coming true. Yeah. I won't go into the details, but like it, I'm gonna give a little detail just to make you understand how I felt like it should have been an emergency situation. She was saying that he was pulling on her clothes. Oh, I know, right? Your mom, like, instinct is like creeping the house. Yes. Just dad was like, um, alright. Uh and I was like, how are you not on your feet in her room right now? Like, I was just like shook. Oh my gosh, do it. This goes to show. Like, evil spirit, we feel like no, I think she's got some sleep issues, my little one, my poor sweet little one. I think she's having like some sometimes she has vivid nightmares. She might even be a tiny bit of a sleepwalker. I don't even want to talk about that yet because it scares me. Oh, we should talk more off camera. My brother was to the point where he walked out of our home once.

SPEAKER_01 36:12

Which one? Older you're oh gosh.

SPEAKER_00 36:15

He walked out of our home. Oh, yes, I remember this.

SPEAKER_01 36:17

Okay. Yeah, we're here.

SPEAKER_00 36:18

So I don't even want to like talk about then. Maybe that's like happening to her a little bit. Yeah. I think she's got to have like a sleep study. But just just the the wife-husband reaction in that moment, I was getting a kick out of it for days. Are they sleep talkers? Uh I don't really know. I don't feel like I know. I feel like yes. Yes. It's one of those. Because when we've been in a hotel room, I guess I can attest to the fact that I was like, you were saying some weird nonsense in your sleep last night. Oh, both kids. Which also I would too, but I don't have like, I don't sleepwalk, I don't have like vivid nightmares very often or anything.

SPEAKER_01 36:51

The one thing that the one time with Gianni, so Ava is a sleep talker. Like to the like her friends will laugh, like she'll tell people to walk. Not scary at all. We'll hear her yelling from our bedrooms downstairs. We will hear her. We're like drama happening. And you know, the first few times you run up there, like, and now you're just like, Oh yeah, no, she's having a thing. She's going through a thing up there. Gianni one time, and hopefully this doesn't embarrass him, but like, yes, came downstairs into our room. Yeah. And was like crying, saying, like, my jersey, you have to get it. It's the jersey, the jersey. And I'm like, what jersey? He could not, like, he could not be reasonable. Snap him out of it. Could not snap him out of it. And then we kind of started realizing, like, oh, this is like he's still asleep. But it was so weird. Like, he was not waking up. Just the one time. Okay, that makes me like that. And we like walked him back up. But I mean, it was so intense that like the next morning we're like, Do you remember any of that? And he's like, No, I'm like, You were like yelling at him.

SPEAKER_00 37:51

See, that's what bothered me the next morning, which is why I think she was like sleepwalking. Yeah. And it's really scary because she has like a loft bed. I'm like, You climb down a ladder. Yeah. Yeah, I know. My like mom heart had a million things on my mind that day. But I was like, what happened last night? Like, how what was that nightmare about? She's like, I don't know what you're talking about. And I was like, Oh, that's she sleeps on the top.

SPEAKER_01 38:08

She sleeps in like a loft bed. You should work on some uh mental imagery with her.

SPEAKER_00 38:12

Like, I feel like I might move her back into the office. That's like right by our room. I don't know, poor kid. Anyways, this was all the trash for us. We gotta have another venting episode. I'm just like, where is your dad's reaction to the time? What is happening over there? Do we have to do drills? I understand that like different sleepers. Uh he I don't know. In the middle of the night, we've talked about this. A big noise happens or something, the trash can falls over outside. I'm like, boom, sitting up, somebody's breaking into the house. I I have to like shake him awake and be like, Did you hear that giant noise? No, I don't know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_01 38:44

That's us too. I think that's pretty typical. But I'm huge, like I swear by mental imagery. I actually just threatened Gianni with it the other day. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 38:51

Tell me more about that.

SPEAKER_01 38:52

He uh so back when I um was playing sports, my coach that we adored, she would have us doing in the sport I I was I cheered. Yeah, she would have us doing um mental imagery. So like before a big competition. Yeah, we would all lay on the mat, we would hold hands, and we would go through our routine from start to finish. Okay. But she would say, like, if you mess up in the routine, stop yourself, go back to the beginning. Like, I want you to go through It was serious. Yes, it's serious because she was saying how powerful your mind is so that when you're on that mat and you're it's showtime, if you get nervous and you feel like I'm gonna forget everything, like, no, you won't. You've trained your brain, like you know you're prepared for this. So, Gianni the other day, I'm like, how many times do I like I yell at you? I don't understand. You put your shoes right outside the door. I open the door, I almost trip every time. Like, just move them back. Why do I have to keep telling you the same thing? Like in his bedroom? No, in the garage. Oh, okay, okay. He's like, it's muscle memory. And I was like, fine, we're gonna work on mental imagery about where to put your shoes. And he was like, What?

SPEAKER_00 39:55

Oh, I thought this was like a beautiful sleep thing. Like he was having trouble falling asleep now.

SPEAKER_01 39:59

I'm like, we're all gonna lay on the floor. He needs to unlearn some bad habits. Oh, I was so irritated. But yeah, no, you should have her go through it a few times ago.

SPEAKER_00 40:06

I mean, she definitely does that with gymnastics and stuff. She's supposed to sit and go through a routine in her mind, but important. Yeah, she might have to do it at night, falling asleep. I don't know. Boy, I was very disappointed with the reaction time.

SPEAKER_01 40:18

Yeah, you're gonna have to run some drills. That's unacceptable. Could you imagine?

SPEAKER_00 40:22

I'm just like splashing him with water in the middle of the night with like a timer. That took me 45 seconds, way too slow. All your kids are gone, your wife's gone, you failed.

SPEAKER_01 40:34

Oh my gosh. All right. Um, I was just thinking the other day too. Well, actually, it was a little while before that, but do you remember when I got I still don't know that it was pink eye, but I treated it as if it was. Recently? Yes. Oh, yeah. Okay. And did I reach out to you about the way that they put the instructions on the box? Because I'm still like irritated about this.

SPEAKER_00 40:56

No, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_01 40:57

Wait, you had to put like an ointment on your eyeball. It was an ointment because I'm allergic to penicillin, so whatever they were gonna get. Yeah, I could only use the ointment, which was disgusting. And it would like ooze out of your eye. You had to rub it on your eyeball? Yes, and you're like, how do you feel about this? Yeah, it was to say you don't even like talking about contact. I can't even put contacts in. So I'm like, put the girl was just like, it's not a big deal. You're just gonna put like a squeeze a little bit like onto the your lower like lash, and then you can kind of like work it up in there, and I'm like, okay. So I go Ryan, do it. I I wanted if he could, I would, but he I didn't want him to touch my eye. Yeah, I go get the prescription, and on the prescription it says one centimeter of eye cream in each eye. And I'm like, okay.

SPEAKER_00 41:44

Measuring eye cream and centimeters. I'm trying to picture. What are they the only thing I can relate it to is like when you squeeze out your toothpaste and you're like, okay, they always say like a P size amount. You don't need like the whole like wavy line that they show in commercials. But like Am I a scientist? Like, I gotta get a measuring tape. I can barely see.

SPEAKER_01 42:00

I have double pink eye.

SPEAKER_00 42:02

Wait, like just relate it to a food or something. One pastina. I'm like, can you show me a centimeter? Like, I can barely see. Right? I'm using that eye too drastically. It's your eye.

SPEAKER_01 42:13

Then everything comes with so many pants. Like, is anyone reading the pamphlets? Like, what are the pamphlets? No. It was so stressful. I'm like, one centimeter. Oh no. I can't even.

SPEAKER_00 42:24

Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 42:25

Yeah, then I had to call for more, and they're like, well, we can't give you more.

SPEAKER_00 42:28

I'm like, I need more because two centimeters. Right.

SPEAKER_01 42:32

Like you measured it out that much where I'm like, then I gotta measure it.

SPEAKER_00 42:36

Yeah, when you're telling people a centimeter of eye cream, I feel like you gotta give them some grace on the quantity. Come, I got a double pink eye.

SPEAKER_01 42:42

I'm putting it in two eyes and I'm measuring. I can't see. Like a centimeter anymore. No one can help you blurry. Because I don't want to get them, you know, contaminated. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 42:54

Oh, did you ever get into hoarders, the TV show?

SPEAKER_01 42:57

Uh, I've seen it.

SPEAKER_00 42:59

The only reason you made me think of it is like I don't know why. Sometimes I get in like zones where I want to rewatch all that stuff. Like I've done like my 600-pound life or some of that reality TV that was like, of course, drama dra dramatized. I don't feel like it's like 100% authentic, but it's not like stupid reality TV. Um, the guy was like, I've cleaned out so many houses in my life, but this house gave me like he had like pink eye from like what he had to deal with. And I mean, like, you know, the hoarders is like there's always like some animal or yeah, horrible things going on in their kitchen or whatever. And I was like, whoa, that's like a next level. Can you imagine if your profession gives you pink eye and you're not like a doctor? Like, you gotta find a new job.

SPEAKER_01 43:42

Okay, hoarders horrifies me because I find it so fascinating. It's fascinating, yeah. But I I love like a vintage shopping experience. Yeah, I like to find unique things, and watching hoarders makes me feel like I don't want to bet. Like, what if it came from a house like that?

SPEAKER_00 43:59

Oh, I Was like, where are you going? I don't feel like you're gonna like tip the scales and become a hoarder with your vintage shopping, but oh, you don't know, you don't know what I need, and then you're taught it. Yeah, I mean, you just walk into the thrift store, and sometimes you're like, I don't think I need anything from here, like it's been another people's. I'm not trying to dog it, I'm saying like clothes and stuff, like you're gonna go home, you're gonna take care of like whatever happened to those things, right? Or you're gonna my kid took like a blanketie to school the other day for like a read and feed kind of situation. I was like, that goes straight to the laundry room. Like, don't even that's just her classroom because I'm like, ooh, 30 kids.

SPEAKER_01 44:35

Oh, I'm I'm so weird that even like we had to drop my car off to be serviced, and like no shade to anybody. Like, I'm not like accusing anyone, it's just like what my brain does. Like, I forgot because Ryan dropped it off. He's like, hey, what do you need from your car? And I'm like, I don't know, my yoga mat. Like it's a couple things that I was like trying to think of. He didn't take my like perfume or my lip gloss, and I was like, what if you think the guy there is like testing out? Like, I think I gotta throw it away. What if what if he's like your lips are really moisturized? You don't know what Steve likes. I don't know anymore. I'm just saying, like, what if he's rubbing on my that would never occur now? Literally, the first thing I got in my car, I was like, what if they're trying on my sunglasses? What if they picked what if this is why you don't know? What if someone took a flosser and flossed and put it back because they got a kink? I don't know, and they thought about you know what I'm saying? That's what I thought.

SPEAKER_00 45:23

You have the do not disturb on your hotel room. This is exactly why I don't like it. But also my brain does not do any of it. My brain goes there immediately. Immediately, I was like, they were like, I feel like I'm totally okay with the fact that we got rid of a lot of fitting rooms and stuff. But I actually just saw a funny video where the girl was holding up one of those like cardboard things from Costco that has like a bathing suit on it, and she's like, Costco, what what are we doing? Like, I gotta take this home in three sizes, right? Try them on, bring them back. Like, you know, I put that bathing suit up my body and it's just back on cardboard, and it's like we're all just kind of going like uh I know. I mean, you're not wearing stuff without washing it from the store, but I'm kind of okay with the fact that there's no fitting rooms anywhere. Yeah. I don't know, it kind of skeezes me out a little bit. Same. But people are just taking it home in their weird houses and trying to bring it back to the store.

SPEAKER_01 46:10

Back to the thrift store. I do have a question for you. And this is like okay. Okay. Do you believe? So I saw a TikTok and it actually like scared me. And I was like, wait.

SPEAKER_00 46:23

Oh gosh, I might know where you're going with us.

SPEAKER_01 46:26

Not not a fan of like psychics, mediums, right? But it is what it is. These mediums go to the thrift store, pick up items, and say whether they're haunted or not. And they're like, never buy a mirror at a thrift store because it's a portal. And I'm like, a portal to what? Like it freaks out. So you don't believe a spirit can attach itself into something like because I was like, What? I have to talk to somebody about that.

unknown 46:51

No.

SPEAKER_01 46:52

Then I'm like, wait, do I have any mirrors that were from somebody else? And are they a portal? Like, no. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 46:58

No, you know we but we have used mirrors. I feel like we were always buying things off a Facebook marketplace. That's no less creepy than a haunted thrift store. If you still do, I feel like you should get rid of it. No, I don't think any of that. Maybe that's what your guy came. What? Maybe the guy in our room. Yeah, the haunted market. From the portal? From somebody's house. Uh, Facebook Marketplace is a wild, wild place. I will say that. No, I don't think about that stuff. I also think it's a little nuts. So if you think spirits are attached, I do believe that there could be, we believe it in a spirit, like a spirit world. Yes. But I feel like in a religious context where it's like good ones, bad ones. I don't feel like I have any background knowledge for them attaching themselves to like I don't, I'm not like a ghost. Yeah, no, me neither.

SPEAKER_01 47:45

But when I saw it, I was like, what? Do I have to worry about no? You don't think about these things. So wait, if you were to drop your car off somehow. I don't think Steve's using my chapstick. What about if you left a water bottle? Say you left your Stanley in there or you left a water bottle.

SPEAKER_00 48:02

I mean, I wouldn't use it again until it was like ran through my desk. Because you would think they took a sip. I just feel like it's been sitting in my car, too.

SPEAKER_01 48:08

No, I'd be like, they took a sip.

SPEAKER_00 48:10

I'm trying to think of a situation where I can meet you halfway and think like, oh yeah, no, that would weird me out. Because what if they used I don't know, I don't really think that? Your brain doesn't work like that. My car deodorant, like car body spray.

SPEAKER_01 48:25

No, I don't think I would think of that. When I'm at church and I hang my coat up on the coat rack, and I mean these are this is people I born and raised, been with these people my entire life.

SPEAKER_00 48:35

Clean, wonderful people.

SPEAKER_01 48:36

They will be at my funeral. Yeah. I will be at their funeral.

SPEAKER_00 48:39

But you're gonna separate your coat? Oh, it you go look. You also are clear. I move it all the place of like uh having some lace trauma. Yes. I literally scoot all the coats.

SPEAKER_01 48:50

Mine is alone. I don't feel like you should have outed yourself.

SPEAKER_00 48:54

If you see one single coat coming in a spring now.

SPEAKER_01 48:56

Everybody else is like shoved. They'll forget before summer. I literally push all the hands. Mine goes in the back corner facing the other. Oh, I know.

SPEAKER_00 49:04

I'm gonna push my coat right now. Yeah. Well, yours don't think about stuff like that. I think about I think about stuff like with like school things or like sharing things. If my kids take anything to school, it's like right into the laundry room. But I don't no, I don't think so. But also I have not had lice trauma. Yeah. Or bed bug trauma. I mean, there's people I know I know will go to a hotel and like put their stuff in the bathtub. We've talked about this. Will not go into the room in their clothes until they've verified, but that's because they've had the experience of having to like bomb their entire house. I think if you go through something like that, it's fair to be more cautious. You've been burned. You had like you had to like from a daycare. That's what I'm saying. You had to experience like putting all of your possessions in garbage bags and yeah, yeah. No, I mean we I feel like we had it when we were kids once from school, but that was my mom's problem. She don't know how to go through all the drama. I was just like, that stuff that you're washing my hair with really smells bad. I don't have like a triggering like lasting. Oh, how horrible for that mom. Could she even deal with it? Because I feel like how I was gonna say, like that chemicals.

SPEAKER_01 50:18

So for us, that word, like it was so funny too, like the difference in how the families like reacted to to it too. But like that word in our house is like, oh lord.

SPEAKER_00 50:28

I can see that. And I work at schools, and uh one of the schools I was at just had an outbreak. And I thought it wasn't even like a thing anymore. No, of course it's a thing because like they're not going away. I feel like they're cockroaches, they'll be with us till the very end. But I was trying so hard to be a professional, yeah, but also not let a kid near me because and I sat in my, you know, like little kids, kindergartners and stuff, want to like come up right to you and hug on you and stuff, and I was like stiff arming them, like.

SPEAKER_01 51:02

Oh, I was so crazy. I specifically volunteered for weekly sight words so that I could check kids' heads. Oh, yeah, they'd come out into the hall and I'd be so like a toothpick. I'd just be like looking at them like, uh-huh. Yep, uh, yep, that's right. Incorrect. Yep, yep.

SPEAKER_00 51:16

No, I don't even want to, I don't even ever want to see that happening. Uh-huh. But it was like a thing, and we had to have like a meeting about it. And once I knew it was a thing, I felt like it was all like Was it elementary school I could think about? Uh yeah. Well, I have all different ages in my building. So, but it was I told my husband, oh, I drove home, stayed in the car. I was like, come check me for lice before I walk into our house.

SPEAKER_01 51:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 51:41

He comes out like nothing. I'm like, I need like a flashlight. I had to use like my phone camera. He was very unprepared. I'm like, you need something to dig through my hair, a little flashlight, and then he's like, I think you're fine. And I was like, check again.

SPEAKER_01 51:53

I was so like my kids are probably traumatized from it, but like every day for school, I would spray the roaster rappel, like spray their beards. I did all that. Yeah. Coats always in the backpack. Like, I mean, like, I was nuts about it. Nuts.

SPEAKER_00 52:08

Again, because you went through it and it was awful. Never again. Never again. Uh, I have some really good news. I hope that this comes true. We're both avid Costco shoppers. Do you ever get frustrated with the fact that they're so successful and wonderful, but also their technology is garbage? And like, why can you not do like a U scan? Yes. Just like Sam's. I read an article that said they might, they're like testing it out or something, and they're hoping that they have the technology or whatever soon. Why are they so far behind on stuff like that? Or even the fact that you just can't like check the website and get like an accurate price for something or I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 52:42

I mean, I don't do that as much, but I don't know if it's like because they do value their employees and all the employees there are always like very happy that's like. Yeah, like they're well paid. Yeah, very which you love to see. I mean, we've been shopping there for so long that like they know me by you know by face.

SPEAKER_00 52:58

Like some people have been there so funny too that some of them have been there so long that I feel like you remember my kids, right? Yeah, like I want to show them pictures and be like, they're grown now.

SPEAKER_01 53:07

Like it's but I mean the one that we shop at specifically, it is so necessary. Last week, whatever day I texted you and said, like, it was the lines were so long, you it actually uh affected people shopping.

SPEAKER_00 53:20

Like I couldn't get through aisles always because the line was down the aisle. The lines are down the aisle, it's like obstructing all the traffic, it's so narrow in the front, and then when they have like seasonal stuff, it starts creeping out farther. There's nowhere to even make lines in front of their registers, and I'm just like, you guys have a lot of money. Can we fix some of it?

SPEAKER_01 53:39

Well, and I know that they've lost business because listen, if I have to choose, I really do now enjoy having Sam's and Costco. Yeah, I just heard Sam's membership is going up, and I'm like, that's what it is. It is what it is. I can't get rid of it now. Because of the you scan, now I like if I had to choose, gone to my head, I would choose Costco.

SPEAKER_00 53:59

You might not have to enter like act with another human the whole time. Love it. Beautiful. Yes. Yes. I would always choose Costco.

SPEAKER_01 54:06

Same, right? But now I go to Sam's first, and whatever I can't get at Sam's, then I don't that was wait, you have MM? I have one going off too.

SPEAKER_00 54:16

Oh, what's your say? Tell me. Sorry, mental walk, must. I don't even know what mine said. I think it was like pick up a kid from gymnastics. Get your steps in. Hold on, let me make sure that doesn't happen again.

SPEAKER_01 54:28

Um I would always choose Costco, but now, yeah, I go to Sam's. Oh, and there's a reminder dig out the tree. This is from Ryan from last season. He was supposed to dig it out before they close the pool.

SPEAKER_00 54:40

Oh, and it's still popping off before they close the pool. You could probably delete that notification. Thanks, Ryan. I mean, that's my whole life is like things buzzing to tell me like what I should be doing in my daily life.

SPEAKER_01 54:50

Yeah. But no, I will go, I go to Sam's first because I can do the U scan. I know, me too.

SPEAKER_00 54:55

I like I either do the U scan or I I'm a huge fan of pickup. And I don't even have to walk through the building and I can see like what's on sale or what I need or anything on the app, and then it's like done. Yeah. I will say they're getting a little, it's getting a little rough.

SPEAKER_01 55:10

Love that. That's great news.

SPEAKER_00 55:11

Yeah, I thought it would be great because honestly, I was even annoyed because the last time I was there, I don't know when the transition happened, but they used to have at least the guns at the register. Oh, yeah. So when you have like $48 of toilet paper and you just grab the gun, those are gone.

SPEAKER_01 55:25

Yeah, I noticed that.

SPEAKER_00 55:26

The late I was like, Oh, you guys don't have the guns anymore? She's like, No, we had a lot of issues with them. And I was like, What were the issues? Because like Sam's Club has had guns for 10 years. Right. They trust me. Like, what were the issues? Were people stealing? Were the guns not functioning? I felt like, could we talk about that more? How are we going backwards with you guys?

SPEAKER_01 55:43

I know.

SPEAKER_00 55:43

We love Costco. We're always supporting you. Please do better. Oh, keep me apprised. I mean, we'll see. You'll probably be there before me. Yeah. The new tech's out. That'll be an exciting day. That is. Uh that makes me happy.

SPEAKER_01 55:54

Yeah. Well, I think that's all I got. All right, super. Well, it's been fun chat. Yes. As always.

SPEAKER_00 56:00

I actually have to go to Costco right now. So, like, when we get off camera, you can hype me up. It's gonna be okay. I don't know. Anytime you're like approaching a weekend or a holiday, which is like double, double whammy right now.

SPEAKER_01 56:13

Why did I like not think that and plan my entire day for channel?

SPEAKER_00 56:16

I'm so sorry. I will keep you bro abreast of any like crazy changes at Costco because I'm going today and you're going tomorrow. It'll be okay. We're gonna you're gonna be okay.

SPEAKER_01 56:24

May the odds be ever in our favor. Bye, Contios. Well, thanks for checking in with us again this week. We appreciate you and we love being here chatting with you guys. We'll see you later. Bye.
