"Guys, it's Not Sam" - Sean's Episode #10

In this episode, I sit down with my nephew, Sean Violette, who among other things, recently graduated from UCONN (Go Huskies!). We talk about tarot card readers, comedic dog tragedies, gross EMT stories, Broadway, the 9/11 Museum, and multiple tales of people falling down. 

Sean is the absolute man, and this episode is hysterical.

The Gabby Kelly Show.

SPEAKER_02 0:04

Alright. So last time we started with a terror reading.

SPEAKER_00 0:07

Mm-hmm. And it went bad.

SPEAKER_02 0:10

It went bad, but it was right.

SPEAKER_00 0:13

It was right. It did predict how the episode went. Do you want to say how the episode went?

SPEAKER_02 0:18

Well you I want well you say.

SPEAKER_00 0:20

Well, we uh got done filming and uh first of all we realized that we l missed probably the last 20 probably 20 minutes of it because the audio got corrupted or something. And then we looked at the video and only your legs were in frame. And the card that we got, I don't remember the card, but it was basically like you're gonna have uh misfortunate things and like trouble.

SPEAKER_02 0:49

Yeah. And what I saw was it said something about like bruised egos. And a highlight of the interview was uh when you called me money bags and then I said fuck you. I was like, oh, it kind of like heavily predicted that.

SPEAKER_00 1:08

Yeah, it kind of gives more weight to whatever whatever card we're about to pull right now.

SPEAKER_02 1:12

Yeah, I know. Okay, all right. So what are we gonna so like like how how can we have a successful fun episode? Right? Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:21

Is that the question we're asking?

SPEAKER_02 1:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:25

Uh-oh, okay. If the card's upside down, it means it's a way it's a warning.

SPEAKER_00 1:29

Really? Yeah. I thought it meant it's the opposite of whatever is on it.

SPEAKER_02 1:33

Um, every deck is different. Okay, son of a bitch. All right. 45 protection. Okay. Protection message. Even if it appears that you've reached the end of the line and all is lost, it isn't. You're in a situation that will resurface again later. Oh god, if we have to sh are we gonna have to shoot this a third time?

SPEAKER_00 1:56

We're no, I think well, I read that as I think we're gonna get we're gonna say something, we're gonna get canceled in like 20 years.

SPEAKER_02 2:03

I'm gonna make sure this is recording. I'm not gonna we can't go down this road again. Okay. All right. It should be working.

SPEAKER_01 2:10

All right.

SPEAKER_02 2:11

All right, so uh blah blah. Alright. You're in a situation that will resurface again later. So consider this a break rather than an ending. Destiny is in charge. You lose nothing and gain everything when you surrender to that fact. Your soul knows that your destiny is unfolding with perfect timing. Alright, so what is this message?

SPEAKER_00 2:35

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 2:36

That's yeah, ambiguous.

SPEAKER_00 2:38

That this podcast will resurface somewhere in our lives.

SPEAKER_02 2:43

No, so even if it appears that all is lost, it isn't. But I don't think that right now.

SPEAKER_00 2:51

No, I don't either.

SPEAKER_02 2:53

Oh, so something bad something bad's gonna happen. Um, all right, it was right last time. It was right last time.

SPEAKER_00 3:00

It was very vague this time, but we also uh didn't know how right it was until afterwards.

SPEAKER_02 3:05

No, it's kind of all right, maybe I need to stop doing this because now it's a little scary. Like now we have something to like. Um, have you ever gone to like a real tarot reader or like had your fortune told?

SPEAKER_00 3:16

I went uh to like a street fair in Brooklyn last summer in New York City. And yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:23

Oh my god, my story is about a street fair in New York City. Really? Oh my god, all right, good.

SPEAKER_00 3:28

Okay, well, there is this girl there.

SPEAKER_02 3:30

Um my god, what if it's the same girl? Oh my god, did you go?

SPEAKER_00 3:33

When did you go?

SPEAKER_02 3:34

Um like 15 years ago.

SPEAKER_00 3:38

Yeah, no, this is like 15 years ago, I think she was in middle school, so uh but there is Unless she's a witch and doesn't age. That that's a good point. That's a good point. But um she said that my in my future uh there she sees good tasting food and uh an older woman, so yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:01

So alright, so excited about the older women woman thing. I know that's on your to-do list. Wait, were you with your girlfriend when you got this reading?

SPEAKER_00 4:10

No.

SPEAKER_02 4:11

Okay. Did you tell her that you have a girlfriend?

SPEAKER_00 4:13

Oh, this was before that.

SPEAKER_02 4:15

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Um what's the food thing? That's weird.

SPEAKER_00 4:21

Like you're gonna make food or just like you're gonna like I think it implied that in my future there will be uh a household where there's a lot of like flavor, and she said it was could uh it could be food, but like not just food, it could also just be like uh good music, you know what I mean? Like good uh spice of life, I guess.

SPEAKER_02 4:46

The older woman knows how to cook.

SPEAKER_00 4:48

Yeah, okay. Well maybe, maybe.

SPEAKER_02 4:51

Yeah, okay. All right, so I was at a street fair with Johnny and Amy 15 years ago, and there was this girl that looked so not legit. She was sitting in a full, she didn't have a table, she was sitting in a folding chair, and she had like a cardboard thing that was like it was, I think it was like palm readings or whatever. And it was like five dollars. So I was like, I'll do it, you know? So she's giving me the reading, and Johnny and Amy are standing right there while she's doing it, and she starts saying like absurd shit about my life that is true, and was like blowing up my spot. So she was like, she was like, I see that you just got out of a relationship, and I was like, yeah, and she's like, and you were cheating on him, and I was like, I was like, what? I was like, I was like, shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up, and then um it was something else, it was something like, oh, and like last spring. Wait, I'm going like this, like she had carts, but it was like she's like, oh, and like last spring, like when you got arrested, and I was like, I was like, I was like, I'm killing you like this. She was saying all she was saying all this stuff that I had not told John or Amy, and I was like, I was like, dude, you're amazing, but you're ruining my life.

SPEAKER_00 6:18

Yeah, you need to cool it.

SPEAKER_02 6:19

Yeah. She I was like, this woman sucks. She was so so accurate. And I love it because she um was just like sitting in a folding chair. And I was like, amazing.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

Did John and or Amy have a reaction to that?

SPEAKER_02 6:35

Um well at some point I told them to walk away. I was like, why don't you guys go like this lady sucks? You guys go get a drink, I'll finish up here. Um and then no, they I don't they didn't seem to care. I don't think they understood the weight of it. Okay. Uh okay, I'll jump around here. Um, okay, so R.I.P. Nestle.

SPEAKER_00 7:05

Yes. I was sad about that. Nestle was so long around so long, I felt like she was 16 years, that's like 75% of my life. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 7:19

I have a different take. But I this is why I liked this. Okay, so so first of all, I told Lennox that Nestle was dead. And I was like, Lennox, Nestle's dead. And he's like, oh no, Nestle was my favorite dog. I was like, what? I was like, Nestle sucks.

SPEAKER_00 7:40

Yeah, but how many dogs does he know?

SPEAKER_02 7:42

Nestle and Bella, yeah, two. So for him, this was a crushing, it's like 50% of the dogs he.

SPEAKER_00 7:48

And I'm biased, but I think Bella is way better than Nestle.

SPEAKER_02 7:52

Nestle's the worst dog. Nestle, well, but so but you like her, so I don't want to like Okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:59

I wouldn't want Nestle to be my dog, but I think Nestle's a perfect dog for Nana.

SPEAKER_02 8:06

That is secretly a Nana burn. Really? That is secretly a nana burn. Because Nestle is boring. Nestle's dumb, boring, and not like affectionate.

SPEAKER_00 8:16

Mm-hmm. Do you think Nana's affectionate?

SPEAKER_02 8:20

Um in her way, in a different way. But like, I don't know, most dogs are like, I'm so happy to see them so and Nestle's like, whatever. Like, just does her thing. So it reminded me that in the case of under the column of like Nestle does suck, is your sister, Catherine, who I think is the nicest person on the planet. Do you know that she's been talking shit about Nestle on TikTok?

SPEAKER_00 8:49

I'm not surprised. I had no idea. I'm not on TikTok, but I'm not surprised she bitches about Nestle quite a bit.

SPEAKER_02 8:57

So, okay, so that she posted that she posted this like two weeks before Nestle's death. Okay. It says, I'll read it to you. It says, so it's a it's a this is so fucked up. It's a video of her playing with Nestle, and it says, My grandma's 18-year-old dog who's deaf, partially blind, can only eat applesauce and marshmallows, or she'll die. Whereas a diaper 90% of the time has to wear boots or else her paws will bleed, covered in bloody skin tags, literally, literally cannot control when or where she'll pooper pee, barely walking, smelly dog. That is so harsh.

SPEAKER_00 9:41

I feel like as long as it as long as it is, it's also not a complete sentence. She just like describes Nestle for like an entire paragraph and like doesn't say anything else.

SPEAKER_02 9:52

And well, I mean that's kind of like TikTok. That's it, okay. She understood the assignment. Um I think it's even more fucked up that Nestle's in frame and she's like kind of like panics.

SPEAKER_00 10:05

It's kind of really fake.

SPEAKER_02 10:08

I know. I would oh my god, if Nana saw that, she would die. Yeah. Yeah, she would die.

SPEAKER_00 10:16

But Catherine, Catherine does not like Nestle.

SPEAKER_02 10:20

Which, yeah, I've never like I've never known Catherine to like not like anything.

SPEAKER_00 10:25

I know.

SPEAKER_02 10:26

Yeah. Um speaking of dead dogs.

SPEAKER_00 10:30

Oh god. Like every good conversation starts.

SPEAKER_02 10:33

Yeah, yeah. Maybe this is like where it goes south. Do you know how Uncle Bob's dog died?

SPEAKER_00 10:41

I don't think so, no.

SPEAKER_02 10:46

Okay, so all right, so the funny story is that, alright. Remember that Christmas party they had like two years ago?

SPEAKER_00 10:56

And very infamous, actually. No, I think I'm thinking of a different one. But yeah, go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 11:01

Okay. Well, this one had a lot of a lot of stuff went down at this one too. But so the adults are in the garage drinking, right? And remember, like that was just where you went to drink. Everyone else was inside, right? And for some reason, the dog gets brought up. I think his name was Tyche, right? And Johnny makes a comment like, oh, like poor Tyke, that was a terrible way to die. And someone was like, Oh, how did he die? All right. When Maribeth was leaving to go to work, she like opened the garage door and she didn't see this, but the door caught on Tike's collar. Oh no.

SPEAKER_00 11:40

On the garage door?

SPEAKER_02 11:41

Yes! And so the collar and like hung him, like and she came home from work, and Tyke was like, Tykey was like swinging in the over the garage door.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

That's terrible.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

No, it's terrible, but it was also hysterical because Johnny tells this super dark story, and then we hear like a huh, and we look over, and there was a little girl in the corner. And she was like, And she like wins.

SPEAKER_00 12:09

That poor girl.

SPEAKER_02 12:10

Can you imagine? Yeah. I was like, I was like, don't tell your mom. Oh my god. Tike, that's that's bad.

SPEAKER_00 12:20

I mean, it's not funny, but like I have there's another sad, funny dog story from that house. It's you're you said the Christmas party, and I was thinking of this party, but I remember this party was definitely during the summer.

SPEAKER_02 12:31

Uh another party with a sad dog story?

SPEAKER_00 12:34

Yeah, at the Clapp's house.

SPEAKER_02 12:36

Oh my god. Okay, good.

SPEAKER_00 12:37

Yeah, so um I was smoking weed in the little basement y area that you have to go through the garage to get to, you know what I mean? Yeah. With uh Maeve and a bunch of Maeve's friends who are uh much older than me. Uh and I I think I'm more stoned than I intend to, which is a little nerve-wracking at a family party, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 13:01

Or or ever quite it's it's nerve-wracking in your living room.

SPEAKER_00 13:04

But also like when like oh the nana's there, you know what I mean? Oh, you know what I mean? Yeah, and and the whole house smells like weed, so they know what we we're doing. Um possibly go. No, everyone everyone was like mentioning it, and and they were like, you smell that? Like, okay. It was really awkward, but uh someone had a dog there, um, and a random dog, like a yellow lab, came up and bit one of the dogs that was at the party. And that's I feel like I was already super high, and then there's just a really strange thing happened.

SPEAKER_02 13:41

Uh, and everyone is just like Did it get intense because were the dogs about to fight? Were people like trying to break them apart? Yeah, dude, there's nothing scarier than a dog fight.

SPEAKER_00 13:53

Yeah, and that just happened out of nowhere.

SPEAKER_02 13:55

Wait, where'd the set where'd the biter come? Where'd the dog come from?

SPEAKER_00 13:58

The dog that ran it? We had no idea. That's that's the mystery.

SPEAKER_02 14:01

A rogue dog a rogue dog fighter.

SPEAKER_00 14:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

And you're looking for trouble.

SPEAKER_00 14:06

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 14:07

And that is scary.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

Yeah. And then That's a buzzkill. It is a buzzkill, and also super strange when you're already uncomfortably high. You know what I mean? And then uh it was the night of the fireworks show. So we think like some dog got nervous and escaped.

SPEAKER_02 14:25

Oh yeah, yeah. Um started looking for trouble, and the the fighting part's weird.

SPEAKER_00 14:29

But then someone's like, Oh, I think I I know someone who lost a yellow lab, uh, it might be them. And this family pulls up, and this like it looks like a stereotypical like American family, like a mom, a dad, like uh little boy and a little girl. And the dad uh gets out of the car and he's like, Sam, Sam, and then the kid comes jumping out, he's like, it's Sam, it's Sam. And then they go up to the dog and they pet the dog, like, guys, it's it's not Sam. It was like a stereotypically sad and uncomfortable night. And then the police come and I watch as they cart off the strained yellow dog off to the pound.

unknown 15:11

I know.

SPEAKER_01 15:13

Guys, it's not same.

SPEAKER_02 15:17

Wait. Wait, how close did the doll get before they realized it wasn't Sam?

SPEAKER_00 15:22

He was like petting it.

SPEAKER_02 15:31

Wait, how old were the kids?

SPEAKER_00 15:35

Maybe 13 and 8, maybe.

SPEAKER_02 15:38

Oh, okay, that's not as sad. Those are those aren't if they were like six and like four, that would have been but still. Dude, two, two dog stories where children are traumatized.

SPEAKER_00 15:51

Yeah, I'm never bringing my dog or my child over to that house.

SPEAKER_02 15:55

That is bizarre. Dude, I love that. All right. What else do we have on tap here? Um Do you want to do some questions?

SPEAKER_00 16:11

Sure. Uh should you go first? Should I go first?

SPEAKER_02 16:16

Uh I'll go first. Um Sean questions. Uh all right. Well, do you want question number alright, one, two, or three?

SPEAKER_00 16:33

We'll do two.

SPEAKER_02 16:34

Okay. Uh what is the angriest you've ever seen your dad?

SPEAKER_00 16:38

Uh God. What is the angriest I've ever seen my dad?

SPEAKER_02 16:44

And you you don't you don't have 30 minutes to think about it. You gotta wait, have you seen your dad angry?

SPEAKER_00 16:50

Oh my god, have I seen my dad angry? I I think that's his main emotion, unfortunately. That's so- I think that's a dad thing. Would you agree? I feel like all dads are angry for some reason.

SPEAKER_02 17:02

Yeah, but I've never seen him angry. Yeah, he uh He saves it for you guys?

SPEAKER_00 17:08

No, he he's a good guy, but he he um I think his little things get him angry. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 17:16

Well, like being annoyed about dishes in the sink is different than like flipping out. Has he ever flipped out in public? Has he ever made a scene in public?

SPEAKER_00 17:26

I remember Because I would love that. There there is one time uh this isn't even his fault, because I think this the other guy was in the wrong too, but we were um crossing the street in downtown Mystic, and uh this we were like crossing the street, not at a crosswalk, and some guy like rose down his windows and like yells at us to use a crosswalk, and my dad like went ballistic and he was like had a bag of jelly beans and he was like flailing around the jelly beans, like screaming at this guy in front of everyone in downtown Mystic. Wait, throwing jelly beans or like flailing, like wait, like I'm gonna like socky with no no no like strongly emoting, but the jelly beans were there flapping around.

SPEAKER_02 18:08

He's like, you son of a like so that's what I'm saying. Even when he's angry, that's comical. Like he's angry, but he has jelly beans. Yeah, like that makes it like less serious.

SPEAKER_00 18:19

I love him, but I think he's comically angry. Like my my mom and I think like he's like um Donald Duck.

SPEAKER_02 18:25

Donald Duck, I was about to say, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:27

Yeah, where it's like so angry it's comical.

SPEAKER_02 18:29

Yeah, well it's also cute, like Donald's just like grumpy.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:33

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:35

What's the most angry you've seen, your dad?

SPEAKER_02 18:38

Are you serious?

unknown 18:41

No.

SPEAKER_02 18:43

Um, we don't have time for that. Um, I don't even want to think about that else. Uh but I was gonna say, when's the angriest I've uh seen your dad, what's the angriest I've seen your dad?

SPEAKER_00 18:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:58

And like never.

SPEAKER_00 18:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:59

Like never.

SPEAKER_00 19:00

He's really good at I I don't I don't want to say this and imply he's fake in any way, he's not fake at all. But he's just very cordial and friendly in public situations, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 19:10

Well, I think you're supposed to, by the way. Oh, I know what I wrote down. So instead of uh telling a story about when your dad got angry because I don't have one, I'll tell a funny story about him that I was thinking about the other day. Um, so we were in church, I was sitting next to Corey, and um he was like, Do you smell that? And I was like, no, what? And he's like, it smells like piss. And I was like, it does smell like piss. And we're like, who like who's doing like where you know, where is this coming from? And then at some point we like you know, we kneel, so I get like closer to my legs, and I'm wearing jeans, and I'm like, it's me. And then I had like a flashback to the night before. I I'd been at a concert at the meadows, and so I had to pop a squat in the woods and some paint all over my jeans, yeah. And then I wore them to church, and it smelled like paint. And I was like, Corey, it's me.

SPEAKER_00 20:15

Wow, I'm surprised you admit it. You could have you know how many old people are there that you could have blamed it on?

SPEAKER_02 20:20

Oh, but I don't care, dude. You're dad like again, like your dad is so cool. I wanted him to know. Like, this is hysterical. And he was gonna find out. I mean, it was me. Like, and mass is an hour long.

SPEAKER_00 20:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:31

He's gonna find out. But and he wouldn't judge, like, if if I had to sit next to someone, I would have chosen your dad because he's so non-judgmental. Anyone else, I would have been like, that lady, that lady had an accident. I would have deflected big time.

SPEAKER_00 20:49

No, he definitely is. I don't think there's much that like surprises him.

SPEAKER_02 20:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:55

Apparently, uh, when he was dating my mom, they like got into an argument because uh we were up, they were up in New Hampshire visiting his sister, and they were had like a big campfire, and like my mom was like, I'm like, my face doesn't feel right, and like my dad was like, uh, don't worry about it, you don't know what you're talking about. And apparently, like my mom like was like, no, something's not right. And she like drove herself to like urgent care, and they're like, something like, oh yeah, you you were like getting too warm, and like your it's like your face was starting to like overheat and like I don't want to say melt off, but that's the word my mom used, but she's um she has uh what should I say good at storytelling.

SPEAKER_02 21:44

What was the point of that story?

SPEAKER_00 21:46

Oh, just that my dad like doesn't react to anything.

SPEAKER_02 21:50

Well, I wouldn't have reacted to that either because I need to follow up with Cindy on this. I I need details on that.

SPEAKER_00 22:00

I think that m the the way she told it was more salacious, but I I don't You need to talk to her about that.

SPEAKER_02 22:06

Okay. So I think a reason nothing fazes him is because he used to be an EMT.

SPEAKER_00 22:13

Yeah, yeah, that's definitely it.

SPEAKER_02 22:14

Does your dad tell you crazy EMT stories?

SPEAKER_00 22:17

All the time, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

So he told me this story one time. So fucked up because my kids were playing in your backyard and they like knocked over some statue or whatever, and it like exposed these like flowers inside the statue. And your dad was like, oh my god. One time when I was working on the ambulance, we found a body in the creek. He's like a guy'd fall down and crack a guy fallen down and cracked his head. And he's like, and he'd been there so long that like a flower had he's like it had gone through his skull and like bloomed. Like it's like a corpse with like a flower in it. I was like, Corey! Yeah, don't I don't I don't want to know that. I've I've never forgotten that.

SPEAKER_00 23:02

Yeah, that's funny when you say that because That's disgusting. I've never heard of that one, but I thought you were gonna talk about the other dead body he found story. So that I think he's full of those. Oh. Is it good? I mean, it was gross. I think it's more gross than your story. I don't know if it's worth mentioning.

SPEAKER_02 23:19

Alright, tell it quickly.

SPEAKER_00 23:21

Um, it was something like they found a body that was murdered and they wrapped it up in a carpet, and it was been decomposing for so long that the like the fat congealed with the carpet, and it was like one thing. Yeah, I told you, it's not a great story.

SPEAKER_02 23:34

No, it is a great story. It's just like when you said congealed, I was like, Yeah. Gross.

But we were originally um just gonna do like museums and stuff, and then uh we were thinking about doing Broadway, but it was the type of thing like we'll see if there's any last-minute cheap tickets. So uh we were walking around New York, and then we were getting like lunch at an Irish pub, uh, a very late lunch, it was like three o'clock. Uh, and we checked online uh to see if there's any tickets available for the death of a salesman, and we ended up getting some. They weren't available that morning when we checked the train, but like between the two of us it was like 250. Uh, and it was really nice seats. We were down on the floor, maybe like tennish rows back from the stage. Oh, nice. So it was it was really nice.

SPEAKER_02 25:34

But um I and you were stoned out of your minds.

SPEAKER_00 25:37

I I was actually.

SPEAKER_02 25:38

Um and she was too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:41

And we were not dressed for it at all. I think I was wearing this exact outfit, which if you're listening to this, is hiking shorts in a like a Patagonia sweatshirt, which is like Was it a Mad May or a night show? It was a night show.

SPEAKER_02 25:54

Oh, yes.

SPEAKER_00 25:55

Oh, for shame. No, it gets shame.

SPEAKER_02 25:58

Um with your white ass legs, like it's probably there's probably like a glare on the stake.

SPEAKER_00 26:04

And and we you could tell that we were from a different tax bracket than everyone else around us.

SPEAKER_02 26:11

Wait, higher lower?

SPEAKER_00 26:12

Way lower, way lower. We uh like everyone around us had like the nicest suits and the nicest uh dresses.

SPEAKER_02 26:20

Um uh yet another scary thing to happen while high.

SPEAKER_00 26:25

And like that's terrible. And you know who is like sitting here? Who's who's the guy in the devil wears Prada the Baldwin? Like Stanley Fucchi? Yeah, Stanley Tucci. He was right here and like wearing a Prada suit, and I was like wearing this exact outfit, and I felt like such a bum.

SPEAKER_02 26:41

Dude, you let the Tooch down. Oh my god. Listen, six. I love Stanley Tucci. Yeah, he Oh my god, I love a good celebrity signing. And well did he like look at you and go?

SPEAKER_00 26:56

I don't think I made eye contact with him, but there was another woman uh who had a similar reaction, not to us, but when we got there, uh there was a girl in our seat who looked like from our our tax bracket, the normal people tax bracket, and uh she was wearing like jeans and a striped shirt, and uh we were like, Oh, I sorry, I think you're in our seats, and she's like, Oh, damn, really? I like just looked at online and I didn't see that anyone uh bought the tickets, so I like came down and sat here and like we're like, Yeah, sorry, we bought the tickets. Um uh she's she's like, Alright, that sucks. I was up in the balcony and I couldn't see anything back here, so I just tried to check it out and I was like, Yeah, that's okay. If you want, you can sit next to us.

SPEAKER_02 27:38

And then uh I like how she rolls. If you see an opening, yeah, exactly. Go get it, go get it.

SPEAKER_00 27:43

And then uh she sits next to us and she's like waiting in in case the people that are in these seats show up or not. Eventually the entire row shows up.

SPEAKER_02 27:52

She just waited. It sounds like she was like a little preemptive like wait until they're like, everyone take your seats. Yeah, like what was she okay? But go on.

SPEAKER_00 28:00

And then everyone shows up, and then the row's entirely full of and then the last people to show up in the row are the people who are have the seats that she's sitting in. And it's like this old Broadway theater, so you have to like really like scooch out, yeah. And the people that whose seats it are are like awkwardly, like you know, sitting there stump uh tapping their foot.

SPEAKER_01 28:18

For sure.

SPEAKER_00 28:19

And it's like very obvious by a how she's dressed, and b that it's clearly not her seat, that like she doesn't belong there. And I kid you not, as she's walking out, this this old rich woman, this this crooked old lady as she walks by clutches her purse. I know. That's terrible. I know, I know. I was so pissed off. There were so many strange things about that night, too.

SPEAKER_02 28:46

Uh by the way, that would be a really slow, awkward robbery. Like as you're like shimming by someone, that's not the moment. Yeah, the woman, no, that that she's she's crazy. Okay, go on.

SPEAKER_00 29:00

And then we were sitting there, it was like five minutes till the show starts. And this isn't like I think what's funny about this is you know it happened without seeing it, but there is like a behind us where the stairs are, there was a large like boom, and then a chorus of people going, and then like the show's like delayed, and like there's like there's like a broadcast, like, there's been a medical emergency, and we need to halt for like five minutes. It's been a dog fight backstage, and you hear like sirens outside getting closer, and like this like a stretcher team go in and out, and like we didn't-was this death of a salesman? Yeah, he died, and it probably was a salesman looking at everyone around us, so yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:42

Alright, so sirens and then and then it just It was like the part of so-and-so will be played by understudy, Lucy Graham.

SPEAKER_00 29:52

The comical part was just that, like, we never heard it, or we never saw it, but was just like you could clearly hear what happened.

SPEAKER_02 29:59

This sounds like a great trip.

SPEAKER_00 30:01

Yeah, it was.

SPEAKER_02 30:02

And like this is a great night at the theater. A lot of good stuff happened.

SPEAKER_00 30:07

It was a weird day. Okay, so I should preface this by saying I'm uh I'm probably a strange person. Um, and this was for my birthday, and what I wanted to do in New York City for my birthday was to go to the 9-11 museum.

SPEAKER_02 30:21

Like uh Oh no, you love history.

SPEAKER_00 30:23

Yeah, okay. Other people were like, really? That's that seems really depressing for your birthday.

SPEAKER_02 30:28

But No. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:30

Uh Mave, who lives uh who grew up in Chicago 600 miles away, runs into her high school choir teacher just super randomly in the room with the faces of all the victims in it, which is like such a strange place to meet your teacher both 600 miles away and in like probably the world's most depressing room. Like the pro definitely the most depressing room in New York City.

SPEAKER_02 30:56

Yeah. That's a weird juxtaposition. Yeah. Like, hey, it's you.

SPEAKER_00 31:00

I know.

SPEAKER_02 31:02

Someone's like looking for their dad. They're like, there he is. Yeah. It's like, oh. That is weird. Was she like all like jubilant and what or was she like, hello? Um because you can't get excited in that room. You can't you can't make a scene.

SPEAKER_00 31:16

We uh um they kind of like went outside of that room and then got excited. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 31:22

That's actually really smart and respectful. I could see I could if that was me, I could see me messing up and being like, oh my god, Mrs. Mrs. Smith, this is lit! Like, I that that's what I would have done. No! Oh my god! The computer shut down. All right, please say restore tabs, please save restore tabs.

SPEAKER_00 31:49

Please is it recording still on the phone or is it on the laptop?

SPEAKER_02 31:56

I think it's recording on the phone.

SPEAKER_01 31:58

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 31:58

Hopefully. It's not restoring tabs. Damn you. Alright. You know, so okay. So I should have printed out the questions, but I had to change my Wi-Fi network, and the printer is set up to that. And like, so now it's not connecting. I've spent hours trying to do this. Hours. Hours. And like I cannot, I cannot get it done. So my printer isn't working because of my new stupid internet.

SPEAKER_00 32:30

I feel like printers like never work.

SPEAKER_02 32:32

It's like it's awful. Yeah. I mean, have you seen Office Space?

SPEAKER_00 32:36

I have not, no.

SPEAKER_02 32:37

You've not you haven't seen Office Space?

SPEAKER_00 32:38

No, I know it's one of the classics, but Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 32:42

One of the best days of my life was we were on a family vacation and we had some like downtime, and I'd never seen off same as you, hadn't seen Office Space, knew that it was good. And Johnny and I were like flipping through the channels, and Office Space was just starting, and I was like, Oh, like I haven't seen this. And he was he was like, You haven't seen this? And then so like I watched it for the first time with Johnny, like on vacation, and it was just like perfect. And it is as good as Edward. You need to watch, let's watch it together.

SPEAKER_00 33:15

Yeah, okay. Let's watch it together.

SPEAKER_02 33:16

Let's watch it together. Okay, Sean episode. Um R.I.P. Nestle. Oh, um, wait, did you ask me a question?

SPEAKER_00 33:29

Uh okay, I'll ask you one. Okay. What's the most embarrassed you've been in public?

SPEAKER_02 33:37

I kind of knew that you were gonna ask me. Really? Oh my god, I'm also a little bit psychic.

SPEAKER_00 33:43

Yeah, apparently.

SPEAKER_02 33:44

Yeah. It's a new thing. Only like three or four months. So I'm new.

SPEAKER_00 33:49

Dabbling with it.

SPEAKER_02 33:50

Yeah, but no, I swear. But I swear to God, like little like I was thinking about what you're gonna ask me, and I was like, what if he asks me like this? And so I have the answer. It's very easy. I once fell off the stage at a piano recital.

SPEAKER_00 34:06

Really?

SPEAKER_02 34:06

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 34:07

Oh, that sucks. What what what's the context?

SPEAKER_02 34:12

Alright. Piano recital, little girl like seven or whatever. I'm the first one to go up, and I was wearing like new shoes. Do you ever buy new dress shoes and they're like slippery? You know that you're supposed to like scuff the bottom.

SPEAKER_00 34:26

Oh, I did not know that. Oh, yeah. Why don't they do it? They're the one making the shoe.

SPEAKER_02 34:31

I don't know. Well, because I think I good point, good point. This is shame on the shoe people. So, no, and shame on my mom. So I'm wearing a brand new pair of shoes.

SPEAKER_00 34:41

Ice skating on the stage.

SPEAKER_02 34:44

And like, so poor like six-year-old Katie. So, like, I go up there and I start like walking across the stage in my like little dress and like like my bow and whatever. Keep in mind, guess who's in the audience? Johnny, my brother, Billy, my brother, and Nana Corcum.

SPEAKER_00 35:05

So the two people that make fun of you, and then you're Nana.

SPEAKER_02 35:08

And you know, Nana's favorite thing in the world is when someone falls down.

SPEAKER_00 35:10

Really? Oh, yeah, I didn't know that. I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_02 35:12

Okay, so I'm walking, and then I kind of so the the stage, in truth, was only like three feet off the ground. But anyways, like, but I slip and then fall and like go off the stage. And no one made a sound because they're polite, except for Johnny and Billy and Nana Corcorum were howling. And then I was crying, and also I had to get back up. I was like, I had to go back and like play my song. Oh, like crying, and like I was like, It's really sad. I kept getting wrong notes, like I sure, like everyone laughing at me.

SPEAKER_00 35:49

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_02 35:50

Yes! Oh my god, Johnny and Billy and Nana laughed throughout my entire performance. And I was like crying and like playing, and they were dying laughing. It was all for years that haunted me.

SPEAKER_00 36:02

I like I just got better, like that's something you need to like sort out in therapy, like 25 years later.

SPEAKER_02 36:09

Time heals all wounds. Like, no, I don't need therapy. They're all three of them are kind of jackasses, and they're me and they're inappropriate, and I just got really unlucky.

SPEAKER_00 36:21

Well, I have a story related to that because the gene of laughing at people falling down was passed down to my mother.

SPEAKER_02 36:27

Yeah, no, no, trust me. I love it too. I just don't love it when it's me.

SPEAKER_00 36:30

When I was in uh high school, it was like my first ever girlfriend, and it was the first ever date we went on, and we were sophomores, so we did not have a car yet. Uh, so we had to rely on our parents to drive us.

SPEAKER_02 36:42

Um fell down on a date?

SPEAKER_00 36:43

No, it's I wasn't the one that fell down. Um, so we went on a we went on a date, and we obviously needed my parents to drive us there, and they wanted to go to the movies too. We went to the movies, and they wanted to see the same movie, which is annoying because you know you wanna you wanna be on a date with your first girlfriend, but that's besides the point.

SPEAKER_02 37:03

Why didn't you say no? Wait, your mom did this?

SPEAKER_00 37:06

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 37:07

What's wrong with her?

SPEAKER_00 37:08

Well, the the two of us, me and my girlfriend, sat in the back.

SPEAKER_02 37:12

Wait, was this the time you saw that Frankenstein movie?

SPEAKER_00 37:15

I don't think I've saw a Frankenstein movie.

SPEAKER_02 37:17

Oh, okay, all right, go on.

SPEAKER_00 37:18

But uh, we sat in the back and then my family sat in the front uh and we watched the movie and everything is fine, and then we w walked down together at the uh like to where they are at the front of the theater, and my mom is crying, and then we're like, oh, what's wrong? And then she we realize she's crying of laughter, and she like can't stop for like five minutes, and then uh when she finally gets like the words out, uh right in front of my gr first girlfriend on my first date, she's like I tripped an old woman.

SPEAKER_02 38:00

Oh my god, that's good, that's good. Um that's amazing. I just like laughed so hard that I like bit off a piece of hair.

SPEAKER_00 38:10

That's how you know it's good.

SPEAKER_02 38:11

I know that's never happened before. Um, okay, so you just you just reminded me. Okay, last weekend we have a neighbor over there that I've like never talked to.

SPEAKER_00 38:23

Is it the one with the yell poster?

SPEAKER_02 38:26

That's mine.

SPEAKER_00 38:26

Okay. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 38:28

Um, yeah, I know it's on their side of the wall. Whatever. I wanted to decorate the hallway. So this woman knocks on my door and she was like, I see that you have little kids, I have a little girl, can she come over and play? And I was like, Yes. And so then she comes on, she comes in um to check on them after like a half an hour. And so I had like just moved my rug because I'm getting a new rug. So it's like all hardwood floors, and this woman was wearing socks, and she comes in and she's like, How's everybody doing? And she like eats it, eats it. And Hazel goes, You okay, sweetie? This woman was mortified.

SPEAKER_00 39:13

Really?

SPEAKER_02 39:14

Of course, yes.

SPEAKER_00 39:16

It is probably like one of the first times meeting you, I assume, right?

SPEAKER_02 39:19

It was the first time meeting. She was like, hi, my name's. I was like, she probably wants to die.

SPEAKER_00 39:25

That's probably why you haven't like seen her since. Wait, did I say I haven't seen her since? Is this the one you never talked to? You never talked to?

SPEAKER_02 39:33

Well, I never talked to prior to that, but also I haven't seen her since.

unknown 39:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 39:38

That's what I mean.

SPEAKER_02 39:41

I have not seen her since. And I was like, but I was so like, I thought it was great about it. What no? Okay. She's so lucky. I had the most intense migraine. It was like the my I couldn't move my head. I was in so much pain. So when she fell, I didn't react at all. Like, because that would have been bad if I started laughing. And obviously, obviously it's in our nature to laugh. But she fell and I was just like, because I couldn't, I was like, I can't, whatever. So that could have been so much worse.

SPEAKER_00 40:12

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's probably good that you had a migraine then.

SPEAKER_02 40:15

Yeah, no, thank God.

SPEAKER_00 40:16

What was her like immediate reaction getting up off the floor?

SPEAKER_02 40:24

I think I well, she was like laughing and she's like, oh, doesn't you know? And um, I she didn't really say anything. I said, I I said, I said, I said, oh, this happens all the time. I was like, you're like the fourth person to do this. It happens all the time. Like, don't worry about it. It's never happened before.

SPEAKER_00 40:44

Yeah, what does that mean?

SPEAKER_02 40:48

Um, yeah, no, she was just kind of like, she didn't really say anything. She was like, uh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 40:55

It's funny that your most embarrassing moment happened on a stage because my most embarrassing moment also happened on a stage. So I think I think that something about the environment of literally all the eyes are on you is just like prime for the most embarrassing moment. Buckle!

SPEAKER_02 41:09

You buckle under the pressure.

SPEAKER_00 41:10

Okay, so we were performing the sound of music, and it was um, it wasn't what the official show, it was like a dress rehearsal, and but all the teachers were there because it was uh when they were allowed to watch. Uh, and we have like limited crew, like it's a high school or uh it's a high school musical, so this isn't Broadway, and like the actors are also the ones that put like the sets on, you know what I mean? Um, and there's a a scene where after someone sings it goes dark, and you have to bring chairs on for the next scene. Yeah, and I uh bring out the chairs and I'm the only one bringing it out, and I forget that how the song ends is the lights go dark and then a spotlight appears on this one girl, and I am like carrying two chairs, and like and I'm like and I have and you never move fast when you're carrying chairs.

SPEAKER_02 42:04

Oh my god, dude, I go to all your plays. I how did I miss this one?

SPEAKER_00 42:08

This was a teacher-only rehearsal.

SPEAKER_02 42:11

Oh, I would have given anything, anything to see that.

SPEAKER_00 42:15

I know, yeah. It was like something out of like a comedy movie. It was like scripted is so good.

SPEAKER_02 42:21

Okay, I've got terrible news. It's three or five.

SPEAKER_00 42:26

That means that's a good sign, because I think if we didn't like think about like how do we stretch this for another 15 minutes, I think that means we did a good job.

SPEAKER_02 42:33

Yeah, okay. Um thank you for doing this.

SPEAKER_00 42:37

Yes, thank you for having me again. Take two. All right. Um we'll see how this comes back to bite us.

SPEAKER_02 42:42

I know, I know. Okay. All right.

SPEAKER_00 42:45

All right, the end. The end. Very good. Maybe maybe that card kind of plays on itself because didn't it say something like the thing you're worrying about now? Like you don't have to worry about it. The Kitty Kelly show.
