SPEAKER_03

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, wait, that's copyright.

SPEAKER_01

No. Saying welcome, welcome, welcome. Yeah, because somebody else does that. Yeah, somebody prominent does that.

SPEAKER_02

Ba-ba-ba.

SPEAKER_01

We'll see you guys next week.

SPEAKER_02

I like how we're looking at a fake camera that doesn't exist.

SPEAKER_01

It did exist last time, and I don't know why I keep looking over there.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I have my spot marker. It's uh the big penguin.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, penguina. Um, okay, great. How's it going?

SPEAKER_02

Good. I threw out my back. Of course you didn't. That's what happened. I know. I'm feeling 32. You want to know how I threw out my back? It's honestly embarrassing. Okay. Holding somebody else's baby. Was it a big baby? No. It wasn't a big baby. It was a seven-month-old baby. I mean, he was a little heavy, but like, and I was leaned back, bad posture. Baby was screaming crying in the office. Okay. I was at work. It was obviously somebody else's baby. And so I offered to take him outside to see if like the sunshine and fresh air. So I stayed out with him and walked around the parking lot for a half an hour trying to get this baby to sleep. And the next morning I woke up and I couldn't move. Whoa. Okay. Yeah, I like I like bulged a disc. So I've been wearing a back brace. Luckily, I work at a chiropractic.

SPEAKER_01

I was gonna say the best place in the world for your back brace. So fortunate. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Because I get all the treatment, decompression tables.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, Michaela can work out your bulge.

SPEAKER_02

Yes. She said that's a nice bulge. But I couldn't move, I couldn't like bend forward, backwards. It was honestly there was no hokey pokey to be done. No, I I was just like not helpful. I couldn't do things around the house really, which was really annoying. Um you seem to be on the mend. No, I am. Today's my best day so far. I've been wearing a back brace at work.

SPEAKER_01

Ugh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

No, I'm like old.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. But I'm on the mend. Things are getting better. Touch and go, but I'm really glad to hear that you're making it. Thank you. That's a relief. Have you thrown out your back? Oh, I've quite a quite a number of times. Yeah. No, you don't heft around these balloons and think that there's not damage to be done. Yeah, no, I actually like last year or what was it last year? Yeah, I like really threw out my back and I went to your place of business and did some treatment for a few months. And yeah, it's been pretty steady since then. Still, you know, comes and goes.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

But for the- Not like it was.

SPEAKER_02

I I remember you like couldn't even walk in your shoes.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, it was bad. And when they did my um my scans, what is that called? An x-ray? When they did my x-rays, he said something was wrong, but I can't remember.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah. So what I mean. My x-ray is so like crooked, like I have like a hard, hard pass to the left. Yeah. And so sometimes I like to make it go back and forth really quick, and I go, to the window, to the wall. To the wall. And my boss doesn't think it's that funny. Like, we'll be like going over x-rays, like facials, and I'll put it up on the screen.

SPEAKER_01

Because I think it's funny. It's like a dancing skeleton. You're just like a creature of chaos in your office.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I have to have fun somehow. Yeah. Otherwise, I'm dead inside. Yeah. Well, yeah. So if I'm not the one bringing the fun, who's going to bring it? That's for damn sure. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Okay, that seems fair.

SPEAKER_02

Allow it.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

X-rays are crazy. You can see my IUD in my x-ray. Damn. See the little T.

SPEAKER_01

If you were on your period, could they see a tampon?

SPEAKER_02

No. That's a good question. That is a good question. Yeah, no, I've never seen a tampon. I've seen nipple piercings, belly button piercings.

SPEAKER_01

Would you ever get your nipples pierced?

SPEAKER_02

No. My no. Me and my nipples are very close. Yeah. I would never do anything to her.

SPEAKER_01

My nipples are pretty far apart, actually. At this point in my age, I don't even ever see them. They are, we went different directions.

SPEAKER_02

I've been going up and they've been going down for quite some time.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so that seems like just none of my business.

SPEAKER_02

That's hilarious. Would you pierce yours?

SPEAKER_01

No. No, no, no. But also, like, I got a breast reduction when I was in high school. And I don't have a lot of like feeling in my situations. So it'll be nice when you breastfeed your baby. That's so true because I mean everything I've heard is that it doesn't feel good.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And I don't, yeah. So that is one nice thing about you know, not having that connection.

SPEAKER_02

Did people in your high school knew you got got a breast reduction? Was it like actually? Because you know, like we know when the star athlete tears their ACL and they get surgery and they got crutches, but like, did they know that you were walking around and just like Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So really good question. I have two points of that. One, as my little brother Charlie points out, I didn't have that many friends, so it wasn't really coming up a lot. Um, and then two, I was dating my boyfriend at the time. Um, am I on again, off again boyfriend? Love my life.

SPEAKER_02

Was he there for you for the surgery?

SPEAKER_01

So so he okay, so I was in what? I must have been a junior, so you know, like frontal lobe not fully formed. No. Um, and I was yeah, it yeah. So then my my best friend at the time like told him she was like, Okay, Meg's gonna tell you something tonight, like on your date, like make sure you're super supportive. And that's all she had said to him. And then like we went out to eat, and um he was just like so anxious the whole time, obviously, like waiting to hear what I was gonna say. And the way that I phrased it was, I'm gonna get my boobs smaller. But he thought I had said, I'm getting my poop smaller. So the way that he looked, the way that this man looked at me, sorry, this child looked at me, he was just like, Oh, oh, okay. Because like in his head, he's like, I have to be supportive. So he was just like panicking about how to support my smaller bowel movements, and and then finally I was like, Oh, like, okay, so you don't have any questions? And he goes, I don't know, I'm kind of scared to ask questions. And then we discovered there had been a little bit of a miscommunication. Yeah. Oh, that's so funny. And then yeah, no, he was great. He brought me flowers after, um, and yeah. Good.

SPEAKER_02

I think that tells a lot about a man slash partner, is how they are there for you post-surgery. Yeah. Or like medical procedure or something like that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Correct. Yeah, no, he did he did great. I mean, he did the best that a high schooler would do.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Oh no, I remember my high school boyfriend did not show up for my surgery, and there's a video of me after anesthesia crying about how he's such an asshole because he's not there and he wasn't answering any of my phone calls.

SPEAKER_01

What was your surgery?

SPEAKER_02

Um, I had knee surgery, but then I also but the one that I'm thinking about, like my real video is my wisdom teeth video. Oh. But he was also not there for my knee surgery. It was an 0 for two situation.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. He had his chance.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I had another boyfriend not pick me up after getting endometriosis surgery.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I was around for that one.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. And uh he forced me, not forced. My mom was supposed to pick me up after surgery. And my boyfriend at the time was like, no, so controlling. I have to pick you up. Like, I'm gonna do it after surgery. Call, no answer. Call, no answer. Nurses calling, no answer. I am just like sobbing in my like post-op room, being like, who's gonna come get me? And where was he? Oh, at home. He just didn't have his phone by. He oh where where is his phone? No idea. Yeah, no idea.

SPEAKER_01

So then did your mom come and get you or was he just super late?

SPEAKER_02

No, he was just super late. And I'm pretty sure that was the start of the downfall of that relationship.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's good to know.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, no, I did call my mom as well, but he eventually answered.

SPEAKER_01

And yeah. Well, I mean, you're obviously not still at the hospital, so like it worked out. Yeah, that was in 2021, so I did make it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Luckily. Luckily, okay.

SPEAKER_02

Well, solid. Yeah. I would, anyways.

SPEAKER_01

Um yeah, um, so you had a football game last night. Sammy, how was Sammy's first game? You're wearing his colors. He is the jet. There's still not a camera.

SPEAKER_02

But fake camera. Yeah. She is wearing a ghost sports green. So next game, you can wear that. Okay. Um the jets, you said? They're the jets, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Once you're a jet, you're a jet till the end.

SPEAKER_02

I know you'd bring in some sort of musical theater.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So, um, you know, it was it was fine. They kind of suck, but whatever. Okay, youth sports, like the bar's low. The bar is low, but the price tag is high. Okay. $200 for what? For what? Like, I am so tempted to go out and run my own practice, first of all. Yeah. Or hire Michaela to do practice. I don't know why men are in charge of like sports stuff. I understand men being like coaches and coaching the players on like the fundamentals. Out of all of our youth sports experiences, no men should be running the schedule, the email communication, the website, all the shit. Yeah, the communication is so bad.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, the admin is not being taken care of.

SPEAKER_02

No admin. Like, I have to email every time I need a question answered, and they only will answer like half of one question when I asked three. And I'm like, okay, so what are we supposed to where are we supposed to go for practice? Yeah. He didn't even get his uniform until they were stepping on the field for his game yesterday. Luckily, it fit. He just put his jersey and stuff over his other clothes because he's like, Well, I'm not getting naked, I'm not going down into my underwear in front of hundreds of people. And I'm like, Yeah. It was also really, really cold and windy.

SPEAKER_01

So like, what are the what's the age range of these coaches? Like, who is so the coaches are um volunteer. But his are there like kids on the team?

SPEAKER_02

Yes, I think I think this coach, yeah, he has a kid on the team. Okay. And the kid played the whole time, the kid sucks, but whatever. Okay. Nepotism. Literally nepotism. I'm like, get out of here. Yeah. So yeah, I'm just kind of over it. I'm ready. I don't know if we just like need to start a new sports team or like program. Or I just don't understand why all of these football leagues and sports leagues can't seem to get it together. Like you're taking hundreds and hundreds of people's money, like so much money, you can't hire one admin person.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Or at least like have higher standards, or or so it's hard because I I'm hearing that these are volunteers, like they're not getting paid for it. So if I were volunteering my time, I too would probably be like, bitch, I don't have time for your freaking this, that, or the other thing. However, if you are charging a certain amount of money, like then pay somebody to handle this. Yeah. Like it it or lower the price of the freaking team.

SPEAKER_02

Or like ask for a volunteer admin member for each team.

SPEAKER_01

But like get a team mom on board, but then But again, like if you're if it's paying or costing families this much, then where is that money going? Correct. Invoice it, break it down for me.

SPEAKER_02

I would love to know where it's going.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, because there explain to me why people shouldn't be getting compensated to do this correctly versus whatever nonsense is happening.

SPEAKER_02

I'll pay a 20 extra $20 to compensate and get a good coach and have them have structure and yeah, just like stipend like fucking like $400 for a season.

SPEAKER_01

Great, correct.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So I'm just like, I'm frustrated. It's been a couple years that Sam's been in sports, and it's just the same thing no matter what. Like we've done different sports, different leagues, different everything, and it's the same across the board. Yeah. So it's frustrating.

SPEAKER_01

No, I yeah, I feel like this has been so ongoing for you. Very frustrating.

SPEAKER_02

Where are the women? Bring on the ladies. Sam even says that. He's like, oh, my practice is just like so unorganized. Yeah. And I'm like, okay, if an 11-year-old is saying that, correct? Get with it.

SPEAKER_01

An 11-year-old masking as a hundred-year-old, though.

SPEAKER_02

Like, I know, he's like Benjamin Button.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and no, he he's a little bit his frontal lobe is in fact formed.

SPEAKER_02

He tries to argue with me all the time because he wants to learn how to drive, and I keep telling him, not yet. And I'm like, your frontal lobe is like not even halfway there. Yeah. And then he's like, no, I think mine's farther along.

SPEAKER_01

I think it is a little farther along as well. I think there are other reasons maybe we don't need to be driving yet. Just like age, yeah, getting pulled over.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, no, not on the road, like like in a parking lot or like a field. Because I learned how to drive. A field. I learned how to drive in a field.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but we're not in Moses Lake. Where where is this field?

SPEAKER_02

We'll find a field. Yeah, he wouldn't be on like a road, but I'll teach him how to start driving eventually.

SPEAKER_01

Great. Get that.

SPEAKER_02

I'll borrow your car.

SPEAKER_01

It will make no difference. My little bumper car bumps off of everything. That's true. So it's fine. That's funny. So yeah. Um, what about you? No, I didn't go to any football games this week. I know it comes as a shock, as a surprise. No, I've just been um uh knee deep in school, forcing myself to give a fuck. And it's been great.

SPEAKER_02

Remember at the beginning of this, you were like, I just really hope like my goal for the year is to stay motivated and go to school.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and what's a little bit of a bummer about us doing this podcast is that now I am recorded saying that, and I can't be like, no, I don't unfortunately that was me. But I also like I care so much about like one of my classes, but the other class is a research methods class, and like just I'm so sorry, I cannot care. Like, I it just it's it's I'm having a hard time locking in to hundreds of pages about research methods and instruments, just and I and my professor was like, I know a lot of you think that this isn't gonna apply to you. Me, me currently thinking that, but I'm gonna have to because it's not really an option. But I mean, there's some, you know, I love my other class. My other class is a human behavior class, so enjoying that.

SPEAKER_02

But have you started looking at people different now that you're researching human behavior? Um are you diagnosing people on the street?

SPEAKER_01

No, because one I I that's not my goal in this entire like I'm not trying to get to a point of like diagnosing people. I am more of just like aware on interactions that I see people having and that I have, and like how my interactions are like impacting other people, if that makes sense, or like how even when I'm like talking to friends or talking to like Mitchell, just like I do have moments sometimes where I'm like, oh, let's like clock in as like a social worker just to practice, and I'll like ask like motivational interviewing questions or like kind of handle situations like that, which is probably really fucking annoying for for Mitchell who just wants to talk shit, and I'm like, but let's dig deeper.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, that's me all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was like the perfect voice, too.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and it's like I I want to like it's good for me to have that practice, um, but it's definitely taken up some brain space. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I feel like I would love to take that class.

SPEAKER_01

It's a good one. I think yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I study it all the time with no background knowledge except my own. Yeah, I diagnose people all the time, even though I'm not a doctor. Yeah, I think I'm pretty good though. Great. I think I'm pretty spot on.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. What would you diagnose me with? Awesomeness disease. Yeah, totally. Brad.

SPEAKER_02

You're I'm glad that you spoke up sooner so that I didn't actually speak up.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, me too. No, I don't need to hear that kind of negativity. I'm fragile. I'm just kidding, I wasn't gonna say anything bad. No, that's okay. I'm well aware of what I have going on. Um well, stunning. Okay.

SPEAKER_02

I brought so something that has been on my mind lately. Yeah. Um, we have a friend, a single friend. We do, and she's just the best person in the whole world. Oh, she's just so funny. Yeah. Um, and she really is trying to find her man. Okay, kind of. I actually I say that lightly. She wants to find her true man, and she is our religious friend, and she loves Jesus and loves going to church, and her and Sam, my 11-year-old child, have that in common. Yeah. So she recently asked me if she could borrow Sam to take to church with her to see if he would be a good wingwoman or your wingman and find her a good man at church.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

What do you think about that?

SPEAKER_01

Well, my immediate reaction is I can see Sam being a bit of a saboteur, for Sam would love to be this friend's one and only.

SPEAKER_02

Sam's like, yeah, you're yeah, you're saying that he wouldn't find her a mate because he wants to be her mate. Correct. Yeah. He but at the same time, he thinks older people, like thinking somebody older is cute is gross. Yeah. No, he's really inappropriate.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

No, he's confused. Which I'm which I love.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, correct. Yeah, let's encourage that. But at the same time, I mean his actions are showing different. Well, yeah, because we this same friend, like, we hung out with her recently with another person, and they were like really getting along, and Sam didn't like that.

SPEAKER_02

No, yeah, they were flirting the whole night. Yeah, Sam was and I thought Sam was having a great time, and then we get in the car, and I'm like, So what'd you think of as the the new guy? And he's like, uh, it's kind of annoying. And I'm like, what? Yeah. It's like he's kind of immature. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, that green little green monster really reared its head. What does that mean? The green monster isn't that like the um uh wait, wait, shh, don't even talk about it. Love you let me figure out what I was saying. The little green jealousy. Jealousy's the little green monster.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That's saying, right? Have you ever heard that?

SPEAKER_00

I thought that was greed.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, well, maybe he's greedy with her heart.

SPEAKER_02

Greedy with her heart, yeah. No, he Okay, close to much of herself. So, anyway, so then when our friend asked that, I was like, I think that's a great idea for Sam to go to church with you. You could rent him out. I was like, $50 an hour. And then I $50? Sam would love to go to church.

SPEAKER_01

Shh.

SPEAKER_02

You should be paying her. Listen, after I sent that text, I go, I can't sell off my child. That's illegal.

SPEAKER_01

It's illegal to like sell him.

SPEAKER_02

I am selling, I'm selling him for an hour to go to church with her.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but like he's coming back. He's on lease.

SPEAKER_02

He's on lease. You're renting him out. I'm renting him out. And I just felt like, you know, that's probably not the right thing to do. So I said, you can have him for free. Okay. Um, because I trust her.

SPEAKER_01

But you have to feed him.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, let's get some let's get something out of this deal. Yeah. And then they're just gonna go around and Sam's gonna find her a boyfriend.

SPEAKER_01

I can't wait. I can't wait for just so many reasons. Because one, that'll add so much to my plate having to deal with this experience from the other end. But so fun. Okay, so we we're gonna find love in a holy place.

SPEAKER_02

I just think like maybe people aren't utilizing their children as good as they could be. And I've always said that. I'm like, hey guys, they have good advice.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, get your yours. Does yours has good advice. Yeah, have you talked to most children out there these days? No, they're not coming up with as good of things.

SPEAKER_02

That's true.

SPEAKER_01

I think Sam needs his own podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, he tried.

SPEAKER_02

He did. He tried, he succeeded, and he got kicked off the internet.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so maybe we'll give him a little bit of time. But it'll be great. Soon he's gonna be on this couch with us.

SPEAKER_02

I know. He keeps asking me every time. Because of course he keeps up with my calendar. He's like he's like my little manager. Yeah. And so he's he also looked at our notes today about what we were gonna talk about.

SPEAKER_01

And I that's good to know because like I I need to make sure I don't put like crazy.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I I was reading it to him, so I was kind of I was like skimming it, but he was sitting next to me.

SPEAKER_01

Do I have I put anything inappropriate in there? I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so either.

SPEAKER_02

You said where do babies come from? And I did skip that. I did not want to ask him that because I don't want to know what he knows yet.

SPEAKER_01

No, uh I mean I this was a question that came to my mind because I was hanging out with a um five-year-old, as one does, and they were they're like, Miss Meg, do you know where babies come from? And I said, in my in my head, I'm like, and then I was like, I think I do. Where do you think babies come from? And he goes, No, I want to know what you think. And I'm like, I'm not doing this. And I said, No, I really think like I'll feed off of whatever you have to say. And he goes, he like stands up, he like turns his back, so his back's facing to me, puts his head to me, points to his butt, and he goes, right out of the butt. And I said, Glad I didn't go first. Glad I was not the one to break to you. And I said, Sure do. Okay, let's get back to the Legos.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah. This is not a conversation for Miss Meg to be having.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's not my responsibility.

SPEAKER_02

So funny. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

No, he he a lot of zingers, a lot of zingers with this one.

SPEAKER_02

I know you told me he just said something else too.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he was having, he was having, we were cleaning up after breakfast, and I was like, Oh, do you want to finish this? Um, and he would go, he goes, nope, that was not on my bingo card. And I was like, period. Great.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, he just Sam said they say the weird things now. Sam's new thing is imagine saying that in the big 26. What does that mean? So, like today we're ordering coffee through the drive-thru. I'm gonna get a him a blue raspberry Italian soda this time. He goes, Imagine ordering that in the big 26. And I'm like, You are you mean in 2026? And he goes, Yeah. And I'm like, we are. And he's like, I know, that's just what they say.

SPEAKER_01

Who's hey? I don't know the kids at school. See, this is what I'm saying about the kids. They don't know what's going on.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my gosh, it's so funny though. Bless their heart. I'm intrigued. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um, okay, so should we play another little game?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, except one quick cue. Okay. Um, have you watched the new season of Love on the Spectrum yet? Um, no. Oh my gosh, you need to. I was like laughing in like a wholesome way. Okay. I love that show. I love it so much. I want it to play forever. And the new season has such a good new guy, Logan. He's so funny. So um please watch. I don't know. I only watched the first episode. Oh, okay. And I was giggling and giggling and then I went to sleep.

SPEAKER_01

Is he what age range is he? Because maybe we can set him up with our single friend.

SPEAKER_02

20-something. That's actually a good question. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That's okay. Figure it out.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, no, our friend, she our friend is looking for somebody in their late 30s to 60s.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Not going to discriminate based off age. Discriminate based off gender.

SPEAKER_02

Do you know what movies that you have? Yeah, what is that movie?

SPEAKER_01

Discriminate based on gender. Is it high school musical? Nope. I'll give you a clue. Okay. I got a lifetime and knowledge. Oh my gosh, she's the man. Yeah. Best movie in the world.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. She's the man or high school musical?

SPEAKER_01

Damn.

SPEAKER_02

Which one do you choose?

SPEAKER_01

It's hard because high school musical not only is like solid entertainment, but it's also like that soundtrack.

SPEAKER_02

No, I agree. And that I also that was like my sexual awakening with Zach Efron.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I mean, like, how doth one choose? I think I would also have to go high school musical just because one, then I can watch it like with my children one day. I can watch it in old age when I just want to be reminded the younger times.

SPEAKER_02

We're like 90 in front of our TVs. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

We're all in this together.

SPEAKER_02

You know, that's you. I don't know if we talked about that, how we learned that dance during COVID.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we have so many friends. Did we talk about that? We did? Yeah. Yeah, we're really talented.

SPEAKER_02

We break it out at parties. That is our party trick. Yeah. One time we jumped into a freezing cold river. I think we did tell that story. We did?

SPEAKER_01

I think so. Didn't we tell that odds are story?

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, no. We jumped into the freezing cold river to do the dance, to do the high school musical dance up in the mountains.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah, we did do that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. In 2020, we also, instead of because we were like in our fitness era during quarantine, instead of just like walking the block, we said, no, let's drive an hour and a half up into the mountains because we can, and then we would do a three-mile hike up in the mountains, jump into the river, and come home.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Like, we just did the school all the through. And he, for some whatever reason, I was convinced that I love this person. Um, and I was an econ and I farted, and I was like, I knew I was going to, but I was like really panicking about it. So like when I tooted, unfortunately, I didn't line it up exactly, but I did go to try to cover it. But instead, I'm sure what it sounded like to everyone else was toot when I really probably could have lined it up a little bit better. So I to this day I wonder, did he did he know? Did he know?
