SPEAKER_00 0:58

You should probably and like maybe your nails after. Not that your nails aren't beautiful, natural, but oh, correct.

SPEAKER_01 1:04

Yeah, no I I I love a manicure. So, you know, probably the car. We should have done that for our birthday. What's stopping us? Yeah, that's true. Remember, we're treating every day like it's our birthday. We're like babies.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

Just like last time. Yeah. How well since we're already talking about our birthday, that was the last time that we were on. Unfortunately, these episodes come out a couple weeks later after we record it. So by the time you hear that hear this, it's March. Yeah. It's past the birthday month, but that's okay. Spring will be springing. It is springing outside. It's 60 degrees in February in Boise. Yeah, it's beautiful. I love it. Yeah, no. Blue spoon. I'm wearing, did you notice that I'm wearing a colored t-shirt today? Yeah. Are you surprised? You're it's you're s it's stooning. Okay. Well, for those of that you don't know, I have severe hyperhydrosis. So at the end of the pod, we'll check the pits and see what we got. Do you want to let the re the the readers know what um hyperhydrosis is? Okay, for those of you that don't know how to Google, hyperhydrosis is excessive sweating. Yeah. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot. I don't wear colors ever. So this is a fun surprise for us today.

SPEAKER_01 2:20

Yeah. But I'm I'm looking forward to it. I think that this is progress.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

The more people know about it, the less I have to hide.

SPEAKER_01 2:27

Yeah. Hyperhydrosis visibility. Okay, that's I am making a stand. We're here, we're advocating, we're empowering, we're for the people, the sweaty people.

SPEAKER_00 2:37

One day I will get Botox in these girls, and it'll make it go away. But until then, we'll just feel a wee bit wet.

SPEAKER_01 2:45

I just like you consider your armpits to be girls. Yes. You you consider your armpits to be boys. I know I I I kind of just like that something about that just isn't sitting well with me. Like I got lots of girls. Girls, girls. Yeah, my my boobies are girls.

SPEAKER_00 3:04

I don't want them to have to be next to boys.

SPEAKER_01 3:06

Yeah, but something about like a sweaty crevice is. You think it's non-binary? Maybe. Okay. Well, yeah, I guess maybe we shouldn't be identify them.

SPEAKER_00 3:16

They identify as they.

SPEAKER_01 3:18

Them.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

Them.

SPEAKER_01 3:20

So they them are sweaty. Shweaty.

SPEAKER_00 3:26

Anyways, okay, got off traffic. Yes, um, so how was the birthday?

SPEAKER_01 3:34

I had a great time. Yeah, I came into town. I was in Portland, flew in, we got together for our birthday, like every year. We went to a winery, had a couple glasses of wine, your mom was there, some of our closest friends.

SPEAKER_00 3:52

We got to sit outside in the sun. Yeah. In the middle of February.

SPEAKER_01 3:56

Yeah, you had your legs out.

SPEAKER_00 3:57

It was freaking beautiful. I got told that my legs were too white to be out. And by who? Michaela's sister. And I said, fuck you, Stephanie. It's the beginning of the spring. Also, I don't fake tan. You don't need to. But now I feel like I need to.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

But also, like Stephanie, let's check back in 10 years. Like, you're young. You don't understand. We you we live in these bodies. Okay? These are our this is this is our temple. Let us represent how we want to.

SPEAKER_00 4:27

Yeah, if my temple is white, so be it. Yeah. You're so into the white temples. Except my face is brown because I do wear makeup.

SPEAKER_01 4:37

Yeah, but it's blended beautifully. Thank you so much. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_02 4:40

I could have told I could have told the difference. I thought you were naturally that color.

SPEAKER_00 4:44

She's naturally that color. I mean, like I am, yeah, I try to color match, but my legs haven't seen the sun in quite some time. And that's not my problem.

SPEAKER_01 4:53

No, every single photo, I I just can't, I can't look at a photo of myself. It's I refuse to acknowledge that that is what I look like to the outside world. There's just something, and you know, we have a friend who she agrees with me. I don't look like that.

unknown 5:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:08

I don't know why my head is so small. I don't know why the rest of my body is so large. I just can't. I'm translucent. It's not, I I can't do it.

SPEAKER_00 5:19

That's crazy, Sauce. You're beautiful. I I don't think that you have a small head at all. First of all, no, or big body. You're not you're not unproportional.

SPEAKER_01 5:29

I have a small head, and as my brothers always pointed out, I have a really small face. I can find lucky. I can like fit it in my fist. The listeners obviously won't be able to see that, but just know that I did fit it into my fist.

SPEAKER_00 5:48

Right? You yeah, you did. I didn't. There's your hidden talent.

SPEAKER_02 5:53

Found it.

SPEAKER_01 5:57

That is my hidden talent. My whole face right there in my fist. Yeah, no, I can't wait to pull that out at my kid's birthday party. Okay, that's good. Yeah. That's hilarious. Anyway, back to our birthday. Um, we had some wine.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

I had quite a bit of wine.

SPEAKER_01 6:13

I might have also found myself on the other end of wine.

SPEAKER_00 6:19

Yeah. Yeah, wine does a sturdy.

SPEAKER_01 6:22

But weirdly enough, I can only drink wine. Like, I am not in a hard alcohol stage in my life. It makes me feel 500 years old, unwell, immediately. I can't eat I I can't even do more than like one margarita. It hurts my tummy. Yeah. So we sipping on them bubbly wines.

SPEAKER_00 6:41

Well, yeah. Well, we drank wine and then we went to a Mexican restaurant and I ended the night with tequila. Yeah, that's true. And I never drank tequila. Yeah, how did you feel? The next day I was burping tequila all day at work. But I was fine. I was making it through. Brave. Um, but yeah, that was that was a la. By the end of the night, we were probably a little too drunk because at the dinner table we were screaming about anal and buttholes and all sorts of things. And my mom and aunt were very unimpressed.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

No, I've definitely learned that if I smell vino, I'm oversharing. Like what what do you what do you want to know? My social security number? No. My my waist size? No. I'll do it all.

SPEAKER_00 7:26

I want to know what was the last thing you stuck up your butt. And I'll share that as well. I know, and that's why I love hanging out with you.

SPEAKER_01 7:32

And that's why your aunt and your mom also equally love hanging out with us.

SPEAKER_00 7:38

I hadn't been scolded like that in like a while. Yeah. I felt like I was back at 12 years old.

SPEAKER_01 7:44

I mean, that's just kind of like the risk of inviting adults to your 30th birthday party.

SPEAKER_00 7:52

Yeah, that is true. No, it's just kidding. I love you, Aunt Lisa. You're invited all the time, but you are gonna hear about buckles and so because we are gonna be ourselves.

SPEAKER_01 8:02

Yeah, and and we're okay with the scolding. It was it was deserved. It's not yeah, yeah, like we agree with you.

SPEAKER_00 8:07

Yeah, it probably was not the right time or place in a restaurant, but but it was also a bottle of wine too late. And a tequila too late.

SPEAKER_01 8:17

Yeah. That's what happens when you mix champagne and pina coladas.

SPEAKER_00 8:23

I had a great time. Yeah, it's still great.

unknown 8:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:25

And you're not feeling sad about being 30? Not yet.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

Honestly, I haven't even really thought about it. I just don't I don't have the time. So maybe my next like down day, which should be in like a year and a half, um, maybe I'll find some time to be upset about it. But right now, good. A year.

SPEAKER_00 8:47

Okay, a year and a half. Yeah. Put it on the calendar.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

Yeah. Give or take a day. Six months. Yeah. Give or take some days. But we'll figure it out. I feel great. How about you? Are you feeling different?

SPEAKER_00 9:01

Um am I feeling different? No, I just feel like I feel like it's gonna be a good year. Okay. Yeah, I'm feeling pretty hopeful for this year. Yeah, tell me more. Um, I I don't know. I just I feel like I am finally doing things or like making decisions and acting on things that I've thought about for so many years and it's been up in my brain. So I feel like this is gonna be more of an action year. It already has been. So just keeping going.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:33

And so yeah, I'm just excited to see. I feel like by the end of the year, so much is gonna happen that I didn't even know existed. Great. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

Well, we also like it's our birthday, but it's somebody else's birthday.

SPEAKER_00 9:46

My favorite, favorite person in the world, my child Sam, he turned 11 yesterday, and he is just the cutest. He asked me the night before. He's like, Mom, will you come in my room at 6 a.m. while I'm still sleeping and wake up, um, and wake me up and surprise me and tell me happy birthday. And I was like, Yeah, buddy, I will. And then by the time that I got there, or like got to his room, um, my mom was standing in the middle of his bedroom with coffee, and she surprised him first. She came in through my front door, and I was like, I didn't even know you were here. At what time? Um, 6 45.

SPEAKER_01 10:26

Whoa, that is that's a lot of family. That's a lot of family time early. You guys are dedicated mamas.

SPEAKER_00 10:32

My mom loves a birthday, and so that's why I love a birthday, and that's why Sam loves his birthday, right? It's just getting passed down. And so he got coffee. I made cinnamon rolls and eggs, and then I gave him his birthday present, which was the the trip, mother-son trip, going to Forrest Frank concert. He was so excited, and uh he has begged me the last two days not to go to school and to celebrate his birthday. And I'm like, bro, you're having three birthday parties this weekend. You're going to school.

SPEAKER_01 11:02

Yeah, you'll feel plenty celebrated.

SPEAKER_00 11:06

Yeah, yeah. No, he just wants, he's like, I'll stay home with you and help help clean and set up for the party. He does not want to go to fifth grade, he wants to be an adult.

SPEAKER_01 11:16

He is he is an adult, he's about to supervise his own birthday party. He is, and as he should. Um, I have a question. What is his coffee order?

SPEAKER_00 11:27

Ooh, okay, so I just he used to drink decaf coffee all the time, and you'd get like a decaf white chocolate mocha. Now I will allow him to get one shot, so he'll get like a tall caramel macchiato. Or when he takes himself, he really is an old man, um, he rides his bike down to the local coffee stand and takes his own money, goes in, gets himself a burrito, and I think he said something about like a blondie. I don't know. So some sort of white chocolate something. Delicious. Um, and then he brings his little sweet tush home, and he's and by the time I wake up, he's he's reading the newspaper. He fed himself, he got himself coffee, he's on a bike ride, he's doing good things.

SPEAKER_02 12:15

I bet the blondie is the person taking the order.

SPEAKER_00 12:18

Yeah, nope, he does not like blondes. He thinks he thinks blondes are uh rude. It's hilarious. No, it is, and he says that. He's like What do you mean? He wants he wants his future girlfriend to be like me, which I know is already starting some mommy issues. Oh, it's lovely. It's like endearing, but then I'm worried about repercussions. He's got time to work through these these. There's gonna be issues. He's got time. He said that his dream girl is Burnett. She's funny, she has lots of hobbies.

SPEAKER_01 13:00

She's 107.

SPEAKER_00 13:03

I think that's all he has said so far, but great. He does have a girlfriend right now. I thought he was recently going through a breakup. Oh, probably since we've talked. Girlfriend, breakup, different girlfriend breakup, back to the first girlfriend now. Exhausting. But she did not tell him happy birthday yesterday at school. And I'm like, excuse me. What the hell?

SPEAKER_01 13:24

Okay. I wonder where these mommy issues are coming into play. So you showed up.

SPEAKER_00 13:31

So she didn't even like make you a handmade card. Or anything? We don't like her. No, he's actually really hard on his friends. Like, if they are mean to somebody else, he is like, Well, I don't want to be friends with you because you're mean to so and so, or I don't want to date you because you were mean to so and so. And I'm like, okay, well, you can't be that hard. Like, people are gonna be mean.

SPEAKER_01 13:56

Also, like you, you're young, you make mistakes.

SPEAKER_00 13:59

You need to like you can talk about it, but you don't need to like never be friends with them again.

SPEAKER_01 14:04

So you know, I'm sure Forrest Frank sings about forgiveness. Maybe that should be the next song. And sometimes forgiveness is necessary because we all need it.

SPEAKER_00 14:15

Facts.

SPEAKER_01 14:16

Yeah. If anything, you need to forgive yourself. Nobody has time for that, but let's focus on others. Okay. Great. So, and yeah, so we have his little family party tonight.

SPEAKER_00 14:30

I have 30 people coming to my home tonight, feeding them. Actually, to be honest, my dad is doing most of the food work, so I'm only doing the sides, but we're feeding them, and yeah, it'll be fun. And then tomorrow, all of his friends are coming over and doing a sleepover, which to be honest, I am a mom that does not do sleepovers. He does not stay anywhere, but I'm doing it for one one time for the year for his birthday. I'm allowing it, but it's at my house so that I can supervise.

SPEAKER_01 14:59

No, I think that's great. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:01

I mean, there's I'm so terrified of something bad happening to him that I just like want to protect it at all costs. So I for sure am a little helicopter mom, to an extent.

SPEAKER_01 15:14

To an extent. I wouldn't I wouldn't call you a helicopter mom. I think that that's actually a pretty common practice nowadays.

SPEAKER_00 15:20

I'm a helicopter mom when it comes to his friends. If they are like good friends, like his neighbors, his best friends, they're just like great kids. They can go do whatever together. I completely trust them. But it's ones that I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 15:33

Yeah. No, they gotta earn it. I'm sorry, you didn't even remember his birthday. You're not coming over. Correct. Yeah, it seems fair.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

Okay, actually, this is kind of a hot take, and only the parents are gonna understand this one. Okay, so I'll plug my ears. Okay, so Sam has this friend who is not a good influence. I've heard. Okay. Don't I'm not not a huge fan. Um, has gotten Sam into a little bit of trouble. Fun fact, they actually started their own podcast, and we're talking, they were talking about every single kid in their fifth grade class and then posted it on Spotify, and then I got a call from the principal. Hilarious. He started a podcast before me. He's an entrepreneur. Um, anyways, this friend is just not great. Their text, because I get alerts on his text message, like he's always saying bad words, he's always talking about girls. I just don't like it. Um, at first, Sam said he didn't want to invite this kid to his birthday party, and I was like, fuck yeah, great. But then a couple days ago, he's like, he's coming over. Well, a couple days ago, he asked, can can he come? I want you and I was like, Okay, are you like, are you sure you want him to come? Like, I really didn't want this kid spending the night because I know he'll be the one getting everyone in trouble.

SPEAKER_01 16:52

Also, you're not the type of person who's like going to placate this child. Like, if he comes in and he's sassy, like you're not, it's it's not gonna be a good time.

SPEAKER_00 17:02

No, yeah, I'm I will put him in his place. Yeah. Um, and so I was like, Yeah, I'll text his mom. Um, I haven't texted the mom and the birthday party's tomorrow, so I'm kind of hoping he just forgets about it.

SPEAKER_01 17:13

And if he doesn't text her at like 2 15 tomorrow, be like, sorry, it's so last minute. I just don't think I'm gonna text the mom because I don't want the kid here. I think that's true. I'm a hundred percent on board from what you've told me. This this child is not n necessary to the culture of this birthday party. He's gonna bring it down.

SPEAKER_00 17:36

Yeah. In my opinion. In my in my opinion as well. Okay. Alright. Yeah, you have my support. Thank you. That's all that's all I needed. Yeah. From a non-mother. Thank you. Correct.

SPEAKER_01 17:46

From all the mothers out there. We know you would agree. Don't judge me. We know you would agree. Yeah, no, that makes sense. Uh, I'm on board. Okay, so he's gonna have a great little birthday party tonight and tomorrow, and then I'm sure another one with his dad. Yeah, oh of course. Yeah. Of course, so fun. So many parties. Um, did you ever have did you have friends growing up that were like bad influences that your parents didn't want around?

SPEAKER_00 18:15

Um, there was one friend in particular that they knew she was kind of like my trouble friend. If I was gonna hang out with her, I was probably gonna-town. She's the one. Sorry, girl. Um, yeah, we got arrested together once, but we didn't get charged. My dad still doesn't even know about it. He might still but I did get dropped off at the home at like 6 a.m.

unknown 18:40

He might, yeah. He listened to the podcast.

SPEAKER_00 18:41

He doesn't listen to the podcast, he doesn't even know what a podcast is. 6 a.m. How old were you? Um, I was a I was freshman in college. I was 18. Okay. And I was at a party. And they just got picked up? And I tried to run from the party because I was like, I can't get in trouble. So me and the friend, we tried to run and we got caught and we got handcuffed and put in the back of the cop car. And then she threw up, and then they went, and then the cops went back inside the house, okay, to like do with them. And and we're in the backseat. She starts throwing up all over the back seat of this cop car, and I am screaming out the window, help! Help! And they come and like we're still handcuffed, and they come and they unhandcuff us and like let us out because I don't know. They were just being really nice to us, and they were laughing, and they were like, Oh, we're gonna have to clean that later. They're like, these stupid. We were so stupid. We were 18 and blacked out. Yeah. Um, they took our IDs, told us our MIP was gonna come in the mail, and it was gonna be going to my parents' house, and I was going back to college at Boise State, and so I was freaking out. I was so stressed. Two months later, still nothing. So I call my friend and I'm like, hey, did you get yours in the mail? And she's like, Oh no, I ran in to that same cop at another party later, and they said they didn't want to do the paperwork, so they let us go.

SPEAKER_01 20:09

We love when men are in charge of admin.

SPEAKER_00 20:12

We love Moses Lake Police Department just letting us go. Obviously, didn't learn any lessons. I had a great time, it was hilarious. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:21

This happened in Moses Lake, not at not at Boys'.

SPEAKER_00 20:23

No, this happened in Moses Lake. Yeah. Yeah. I was home for uh Christmas break.

SPEAKER_02 20:29

The rural police are not that great.

SPEAKER_00 20:31

Yeah. I was home, it was my first night home from Christmas break, and that's what happened. And then my so that was at 6 a.m. I got dropped off at home by the police. Two hours later, my dad comes in my room to wake me up and tell me to go to the store for him. Obviously, can't drive, so I have to tell my mom, Mom, I'm still drunk. I need you to take me to the store to get bread. And yeah, and all's well. And that's on family. Yeah, she's always been there for me. Yeah, looking out for baby girls. Wow. Um, okay, so what I wanted to bring to the table, I have a question for you, classic. Um, because I just think about the community a lot. So if you could bring something to our community here, whether it's like a business, a concept, whatever, if you could if you could add something to our community, what would it be? What do we need here in the Boise area?

SPEAKER_01 21:28

That's a great question. Um, something that I find myself researching a good amount is just programs designed specifically for that like middle school to high school age that is affordable, accessible, and actually like varies in interest level. So like I Mitchell has a daughter, she's 13, she's about to be 14, and like through the summer. Sh because she's only here with us over the summer, like she like she has some friends, but I would love if she was if there were more opportunities to like throw her in programs that are actually like at her interest level, not gonna be seven million dollars. You know, because at the end of the day, like she's also a teenager, so like she doesn't necessarily w have the motivation. So it's like I don't want to spend hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars for her to try a bunch of different things if it's not gonna like meet what she's interested in. So just something like more accessible. I mean, I know that there are things like the Boys and Girls Club and like the YMCA, but I mean, that's just I mean, and I say this as somebody who worked there, like they just it's it's not the most enriching, and it's also like not the most productive. I would like her, and like I mean all kids that age to have something that might be like a little more hands-on or a little more like actually.

SPEAKER_00 23:04

Yeah, you can tell those programs were created by someone who's never been in a classroom.

SPEAKER_01 23:09

Well, yeah, those programs are also like created for people who need to who have very low income who need somewhere to send their kids.

SPEAKER_00 23:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:19

Where it's like I it's I am more talking about something where it's like something affordable that's actually more than just a place to send my child.

SPEAKER_00 23:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:32

So I just think that that's something that would be beneficial. Do I know what that looks like? No.

unknown 23:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:39

No, do I know what that should cost? No. But I think that that is something that I find myself. There's so much through like the city, but for that age specifically, it's like pottery, painting. And it's like, great, that would be great for like a couple sessions. Right. But that's not gonna take our whole summer. So just like more options.

SPEAKER_00 24:00

Well, and you and you have to like plan it all out. I remember when Sam was younger, I'm like, okay, this week he's doing YMCA Star Wars camp. This week he's wherever. This week he's wherever. And it was so complicated, it would be nice to have one place that kind of hits it all.

SPEAKER_01 24:16

Yeah, and even if it's just like a drop-in, so it's like, oh, today they're doing this, like, oh, I want to put like drop them off in this program for this time. Things like that. This is such an ideal world where something like this would be possible. But I something like this is possible.

SPEAKER_00 24:30

You could create it. Yeah. Or like find people like-minded that want to create it, yeah, or that have money. Who wants to sponsor that idea?

SPEAKER_01 24:42

In the comments, let us know who's gonna sponsor this idea.

SPEAKER_00 24:45

Yeah, no, I I that's exactly how what I see you in the future is running some sort of kids' program that you created because you think everything through. Well, first of all, you're a woman, and second of all, you're like smart. So sometimes, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:03

What what about you? What are you bringing to the community?

SPEAKER_00 25:07

So what I Google a lot, or like what I'm like searching for that I don't think exists, is a new type of church. You know, I've ranted about this so many times.

SPEAKER_01 25:22

I I have heard whispers of your church. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 25:25

It's not that I want to create like my own church, yeah. I just want another option of church. I did I already talk about my experience going to church for the first I went one time like during Christmas time, and the last time was like 12 years ago. And I yeah, no, I feel like I did talk about my feedback about church.

SPEAKER_01 25:47

Okay. No. No, I think that you you talked about it when we were here for a party.

SPEAKER_00 25:54

Okay. Yeah. Well, here's my feedback. I what I liked about going to church, I hadn't been in like well over 10 years, and my child took me because he is very in his Jesus era. And so he wanted me to go, so I went with him, and I liked the singing part. I liked the nice people and gathering around. Um, I liked that, you know, there's like a message. I didn't like the message, but it the message can change. So like the structure of the church I liked to an extent. I didn't like what they were saying. I didn't like how it was like, oh, if you have a healthy relationship, you don't belong here. The pastor straight up said, like, find somewhere else to go, you don't belong here. And I'm like, Wait, I can wait repeat. It said he's it said, it said what? He it then they said like something along the lines, he was talking about how relationships are hard, and they have this marriage counseling course at the church. And if you think that your marriage is good and that you have a healthy relationship, you're lying to yourself, and this isn't the type of church for you. Like, we only want broken people, pretty much, was like the message. And I'm like, so you're just telling people that they're broken. But it's not and that the only way that they can fix it is by still coming back to church or following Jesus. But it it it's tearing people down, and I want a church that builds people up. You want a strengths focused, I want a strength, and so some may call it a matriarchal church where the focus is like it's like women-led or at least created, and it's more focused on like caring for yourself and other people and doing that like inner work because if you don't do that inner work, how are any of these people gonna be Jesus and act like Jesus if you still go to the strip clubs on the weekend? That's what they say, they're like be Jesus. Was that very I don't know what they say. I only went one time. Yeah. Um, so I just had a lot of opinion. I just want a different, I want a different place that people could go that I think singing together is great. It's it's like good for you. Yeah. And can like share a message or give a place for people to reflect on themselves, give like parenting advice. Great, and yeah, that's what I want. But I want it to be like free, like a church, in the sense that like anybody can see you don't have to pay taxes. Great, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:38

No, I'm on board.

SPEAKER_00 28:39

I don't want to pay taxes. Yeah. So that's what I want to bring to the community. Okay, great. I did search matriarchal church, boise, nothing.

SPEAKER_01 28:49

Yeah, so calling it a matriarchal church, do we think that that's going to be confusing?

SPEAKER_00 28:58

Well, Google did say that there's like goddesses out out yonder that people follow. So I don't know if that's really what I'm talking about. Yeah. I'm just talking about more of like a I don't know what I'm I don't know. Yeah. A church for the people.

SPEAKER_02 29:17

It's it's like Winco. Uh because it's employee-owned? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:21

It's like community-owned church. Yeah. Great. Okay.

unknown 29:25

Great.

SPEAKER_00 29:26

I'm on board. I'll attend. Okay. Yeah. Great. You will have you will be in the choir.

SPEAKER_01 29:33

Obviously. I am the choir. I'll just party of one. We sing together all the time. I know we do.

SPEAKER_00 29:41

Remember one time we were singing in the car? We're driving down a highway, like a very windy highway. There's a river on the side. You could go down anytime. And we were singing um high school musical. What what song is it?

SPEAKER_01 29:54

Um, it's what I was looking for. And do do do do.

SPEAKER_00 30:04

Okay, so anyway, so when the party goes, I was lost, and then I was found, and in the movie, she like covers his eyes. So I covered Meg's eyes, but she was driving on a mighty highway. And it's a bad idea.

SPEAKER_01 30:16

And so then, you know, scream. Scream. Yeah. And she's like, God, why would you do that?

SPEAKER_00 30:21

And I'm like, well, obviously, we're performing right now. I have to do the whole thing. I was in character. Yeah. I'm not gonna leave out the dance number.

SPEAKER_01 30:31

No, that was, yeah, that was very Sharpe of you.

SPEAKER_00 30:33

Yeah. So it was funny.

SPEAKER_01 30:35

You know what I actually started last night? This is gonna be a deep cut for our listeners. Um, my sister-in-law out there, she might know this one. Um, but I was just, because on my way, I drove from Haley to Boise yesterday, and I listened to the Hannah Montana radio because I'm what I'm bringing to great, this is all gonna connect. What I'm bringing to the table is excitement for the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary. Okay? I'm beyond. Her and the wig. Why? What do you mean why? No, like what do you know about it?

SPEAKER_00 31:08

She raised me. No, what do you know about the 20th anniversary?

SPEAKER_01 31:12

I know that she will be singing. I know that there's a wig involved, and I know that we're gonna get behind the scenes what's going on. I personally want to check in with Mitchell Moose, though. I want to know that Emily Osman is doing well. Although I did watch Young and Hungry and she's doing great.

SPEAKER_00 31:26

She's doing great.

SPEAKER_01 31:27

Yeah, I love her.

SPEAKER_00 31:28

Wait, so oh, so we're gonna get to see more, more cast?

SPEAKER_01 31:31

Yeah, it's like interview style. My only complaint is that I don't love Alex Cooper. Yeah. I I find her interviews interviewing to just be very surface level, and I don't feel like she responds to what the interviewer says. I feel like she just like goes to the next question, which I don't love. Um, and I yeah, so and I'm just obsessed with Miley Cyrus. I love her so much. I'm obsessed. And Hannah Montana was my childhood, which is bringing me back. I was listening to Hannah Montana radio, and so last night, once I finished my homework, I was like, I really just want something like low lift. I don't want to think a lot. What do I throw on? Starstruck. Do you remember that Disney Channel original movie?

SPEAKER_00 32:19

Let me Google it real quick.

SPEAKER_01 32:21

Starstruck! Camera's flashing cover magazine. 2010. Yeah, it had Sterling Knight. Oh no. Guy from Sunny with a Chance. Honey, we are What do you mean 2010 is late? I was in sixth grade. No. No, you were in eighth grade.

SPEAKER_00 32:38

I was in 10th grade, so no, I was not watching. Oh, I was in eighth grade watching Starstruck. I was watching Super Troopers and Losing My Virginity. Okay, well, we were on different paths. Okay, anyways, continue.

SPEAKER_01 32:50

But I'm just like all of those out there, I I still stand by. That's one of the best Disney Channel original musicals.

SPEAKER_00 32:58

Really? Movies. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:59

Okay.com. It's so good. I don't know why James is shaking his head. He's wrong.

SPEAKER_02 33:04

Wendy Willow, Homecoming Warrior.

SPEAKER_01 33:06

Also, yeah, I would do anything for Brenda's song as well. She's she's a goddess.

SPEAKER_00 33:10

Um really, I didn't watch that one either.

SPEAKER_01 33:12

Okay, well, you weren't really watching a lot of Disney Channel original movies, and it's just showing.

SPEAKER_02 33:17

It's on that.

SPEAKER_01 33:18

You do, because uh that's what I used to use my to watch Star Trek. And I can't stress enough, I think it's worth a watch. Okay. The music, so good. I don't understand why the main girl, her voice, like it seems like everything she's saying is a whisper to a degree that I don't really understand. I think that that was a character choice that I'm wondering if she looks back on and stands by. But she is now when she hears this podcast. Yeah, she's she does seem open to feedback. I think she's okay though. She went on to be in like the originals and she's fine. But anyway, that's my that's what I brought to the table. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 34:00

Hannah, Diana, and when I heard, all I heard was that it was Alex Cooper podcast. And at first I was like, are you it's not? No.

SPEAKER_02 34:11

Is it is that caller daddy?

SPEAKER_00 34:13

Yeah. Alex Cooper does call her daddy, yeah. But is it gonna or is it gonna be like Whitney and Mark from Dancing with the Stars? Is it gonna be like that where they get interviewed and then they perform their dance?

SPEAKER_01 34:23

But it's not going on caller daddy. No, I know. Yeah, yeah. So I mean, I don't I I I don't know the specific mechanics. All I know is that she will be in a wig at one point.

SPEAKER_00 34:38

Will she also be Miley at one point? Like, d are we gonna get a Miley POV and a Hannah POV? It's all she's always been Miley and Hannah. Because she's been the best of both worlds. I know. That's actually that song, or like the best of both worlds. That's sorry, that got me somewhere else. That is like my mantra. You can always have both. You can always have the best of both worlds, and you can compromise. Yeah. Um, the song The Climb is one of my top favorite songs of all time, and I was singing that this morning while getting ready.

SPEAKER_01 35:16

No, that's it's it's a ballad. It's a must. It's a bop. It's a must. I agree. So that's what I'm looking forward to.

SPEAKER_00 35:25

Great. Yeah. Okay. Um, you want to play a game? Yeah. Do you want to play odds are? Sure. Okay. Do you want to explain to the little listeners what odds are is?

SPEAKER_01 35:36

Yeah, so odds are is a game that I think a lot of people are familiar with, especially like no, they aren't. Yeah, people know odds are. You learn it like in school. I don't know where you learn it. Well, I learned it. I actually have no idea where I learned it. But anyway, it's a game that we play where when we're out and about, we if we see something, it's basically like a dare game. If we like see something that we want the other person to do or to sing, I whatever it is. An example might be we were at the village, which is like an outdoor mall, and we odds are our friend odds arred that we would do the high school musical dance right there in like the we're all in the yeah. Well, what would that be called? Like the pro the square, the square of the mall, whatever it is. Yeah, the plaza, the courtyard. Yeah. So it was like odds are. So then you ask the person, odds are, and then they have to say, they give you a range based off of their willingness to do the task. So if they're really wanting to do it, or if they're really okay with doing it, they're gonna give a smaller range. Like odds are 10. So then it would be like one, two, three, you both say a word or a number in between one and ten. If it's something you really don't want to do, it's gonna be like 200. Again, one, two, three, you say each say a number. If you say the same number, you have to do it. And if you say, if you each say a number that adds up to what is it?

SPEAKER_00 37:05

Adds up to that adds up to the number. So if it was odds are out of ten and I said six and you said four and add it to ten, the dare Uno reverses, and the person that asked the dare now has to do the dare, which gets me every single time. Yeah, I always lose.

SPEAKER_01 37:23

No, I feel like you're the person that every time I feel like I'm playing this game, I end up one of us ends up having to do something.

SPEAKER_00 37:29

Yeah, because we're on the same wavelength. Yeah. So we got we got it.

SPEAKER_01 37:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:33

Okay. So what are we odds areing today? You're gonna hate me. I'm scared. Odds are you call your mom and tell her that you're coming to visit.

SPEAKER_01 37:52

Rude. Rude, rude, rude. Okay, first of all, I doubt she would answer, but let's say 50. Out of 50. Yeah. Wait, I'm really, I'm really, I'm excited.

SPEAKER_00 38:06

Getting in your brain.

SPEAKER_01 38:07

I'm really getting scared. Okay, ready?

SPEAKER_00 38:10

One, two, three, twenty-one.

SPEAKER_01 38:13

Oh, we were we were we had the same numbers. Fuck, that was scary. My life flashed out.

SPEAKER_00 38:20

So since we did not say the same number, and because it did not add to 50, the day nothing happens. And so then come on with your day.

SPEAKER_01 38:26

Yeah, except I'm gonna odds are you. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 38:28

Okay, odds are that you one time I had to jump in a canal with all my clothes on in the pouring rain on the side of the road.

SPEAKER_01 38:38

An outfit 100% mine.

SPEAKER_00 38:40

I was wearing all of her clothes. And yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:44

Yeah, okay. Odds are that you call your dad and tell him about getting dropped off by the police. Okay. 20. Okay. One, two, three, seven. 17. Dang it.

SPEAKER_00 38:57
