SPEAKER_03 0:00

Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Workwise. This is Hashi. This is Jess. So today we're gonna do an episode about age gap because me and Jess have a little bit of an age gap.

SPEAKER_06 0:13

Yep, so we're gonna ask each other some funny questions and see uh what we can come up with. Alright, so I'll start. Okay, so do you know what a BHS tape is? Like actually, I know not just so I do know what it is.

SPEAKER_03 0:27

Um I was born in 2000, so we were still using that when I was younger. I had one, it was strawberry shortcake and it was pink and it smelled like strawberries, and also the rug bread one. Wasn't that one orange? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We had that one too. We had a ton of them. I actually still have them.

SPEAKER_06 0:47

Um my god, it's like a relic now.

SPEAKER_03 0:54

Just kidding, they actually don't, but people have been buying them at thrift stores. Um, I've been watching TikToks about like people going to thrift stores and they had like a little uh TV. We had a little TV in our playroom and it only took VHS tapes.

SPEAKER_08 1:07

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 1:08

So we had those, and you know, people think I'm really young and I don't know what those are.

SPEAKER_06 1:15

Have you ever had to rewind something physically?

SPEAKER_03 1:18

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_06 1:20

Like, do you know what a cassette tape is?

SPEAKER_03 1:23

A small VHS tape.

SPEAKER_06 1:27

Yes, okay, so there's like a little insert, and you can I like the way you do that with your fingers, yeah. Insert insert, yeah, insert here, and you can like twist it to rewind it. So that's what we even with VHS tapes before they had a rewind button, you had to like twist it.

SPEAKER_03 1:45

I've never had to do that, and I listened to the same fucking song in the car, so if I did have to do that, I'd be so annoyed. Okay, wait, what song is it though? Something by sleep token? Do you really listen to it on repeat? Oh my god, yeah, when I'm in the car, it's only sleep token. I swear. They're my favorite. Okay, yay. What's something from your childhood that would confuse the hell out of me? Um, besides the tiny DHSD.

SPEAKER_06 2:16

Yeah. Oh shit. Um, that's a good one. Something from my childhood that would confuse the hell out of you. Not having a phone.

SPEAKER_03 2:37

I don't think that would confuse me. I didn't have a phone until I was in like eighth grade. And I didn't even have an iPhone until I was in high school.

SPEAKER_06 2:46

Something that would confuse. Um sitting down as a family for dinner. Did you guys do that? Yeah, when we're I'm stumped on this one. Something that would confuse you. Having to play outside, not on an electronic. Did you have tablets when you were younger? No.

SPEAKER_03 3:13

I didn't have an iPad until I was in high school.

SPEAKER_06 3:18

Okay, then I guess we grew up kind of sound. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 3:25

I'm trying to think of like things that you guys used to have that. Yeah, like oh, you know what I don't get? The so I watched a show, it's called Pen 15, it's on Hulu, and it's so fucking funny. But it's about like two girls and they're in they're going into the eighth grade and they can't use the internet and the phone at the same time. Did you have that?

SPEAKER_06 3:48

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_03 3:49

Like if one was on the computer, because I used to go.

SPEAKER_06 3:51

Oh, yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03 3:53

Couldn't use the phone.

SPEAKER_06 3:54

Okay, so that's dial up. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:56

So the fuck is dial-up?

SPEAKER_06 3:58

So you're I'm confused. Okay, so dial-up internet was a very slow, it was like the first internet that came out, and it was very slow. And if you were on the phone, you couldn't use the computer, okay? Like you couldn't go on the internet, it was like one or the other. And like when you went on the computer, if you you would hear like this dial-up tone, and it was like, I can't even do it, you know. Like it made all this screechy weird noise. But if someone picked up the phone, you could hear them on the phone through the computer, and it would like completely slow your dial up down.

SPEAKER_03 4:43

Why the heck is it like connected?

SPEAKER_06 4:45

That's a great question. That's weird.

SPEAKER_03 4:47

I know that's really confusing. Yeah, you have you ever watched that show?

SPEAKER_06 4:52

No, oh my god, it's hysterical that it's called pen 15 because that's what we penis for penis.

SPEAKER_07 4:58

Okay, you did that too in school. That's so funny. Oh my god, that's great. That's a great name.

SPEAKER_03 5:04

It makes me crack the fucking time. I think I've watched the whole thing probably like three times.

SPEAKER_06 5:10

Yeah, it's so I've never heard of it before. That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_03 5:16

It's really funny.

SPEAKER_06 5:18

Um, okay, so this is kind of connected with what you just asked me, but do you know what aim or MySpace is?

SPEAKER_03 5:26

So it's like the first Facebook kind of right, MySpace is, yeah. So when Facebook was around, there was a girl in my grade and she had MySpace.

SPEAKER_02 5:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:36

And I was like, I was thinking I'm getting it, and then I was like, okay, maybe I'll make a MySpace schedule. And then I made my Facebook when I was like nine. So if you find my Facebook, it says that I'm like 37. I'm not 37.

SPEAKER_07 5:48

I remember when Facebook came out.

SPEAKER_03 5:50

Oh my god, I just wanted to play the games on there, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 5:53

So aim though was like the the first like real connection with dial up internet, and it was like a messaging app, and you could like and you could have like favorites, right? Yeah, and we literally when we would get out of school, kids would like run home to get on aim, and like you'd hear like the dial-up tone, you know, and you'd get on aim and you message all your friends.

SPEAKER_03 6:19

It I don't, you know, that's just and you couldn't do anything else to message people.

SPEAKER_06 6:23

Pretty much, yeah. I don't remember if there were games or anything like that. There might have been.

SPEAKER_03 6:28

I think that's what they use on Fan 15.

SPEAKER_06 6:30

Yeah, it's it's called AIM. They had like a yellow outline of a guy, you know, like a little emoji kind of like a stick figure name. No, he was fatter than that.

SPEAKER_06 16:18

SPEAKER_01 16:19

Nokia.

SPEAKER_06 16:21

So that's what I had for my first phone. Nokia.

SPEAKER_03 16:25

Nokia. Yeah, mine was like an L.

SPEAKER_06 16:27

It wasn't a flip though. It was just like one piece, you know? And I had like this blue sky case because you could change the faceplate of it. Um yeah, that was my first phone. And you had to buy minutes.

SPEAKER_03 16:39

So mine didn't, but my mom's first phone, you had to buy minutes.

SPEAKER_06 16:42

SPEAKER_03 17:02

Oh my god. What's something you wish you knew at my age?

SPEAKER_06 17:06

Oh. Um, wait, what is something you wish I knew?

SPEAKER_03 17:12

No, you wish you knew at my age. So when you were 25, what did you wish you knew?

SPEAKER_06 17:16

Oh yeah. Just how how life can change. Like it's you know, you think like at 25, certain things in your life are important and they're not, you know, and it it just comes with age. You learn that where your life is now, it's not gonna be the same. Obviously, but there's things that you think are so important right now, and when you get older, it's like, oh, none of that, none of that matters, like none of that mattered.

SPEAKER_03 17:46

And I think we'll all learn that when we get a little bit older, because my generation we trip over everything.

SPEAKER_06 17:53

It's true, and I mean, you know, like I still trip over things that are life things, but things that I tripped over at your age, I would have never, I would never worry about them now.

SPEAKER_03 18:06

Do you ever like think back on them? And you were like, Oh my god, I was so dramatic.

SPEAKER_06 18:09

Oh, absolutely, you know, like things that really would stress me out, or things or even how I handled myself, you know, and it's like, oh that no, no, you just you go about life differently as you get older. So there's that.

SPEAKER_01 18:26

Period.

SPEAKER_06 18:29

Have you ever burned a CD or made a playlist that way?

SPEAKER_03 18:33

On a CD? No, but my dad had some. Isn't that illegal? Should I be saying this?

SPEAKER_06 18:39

Yeah, it's fine. Okay, the feds show up, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:44

They take me, put it on TikTok. We'll get famous.

SPEAKER_06 18:48

So we used to that's we used to have an app, and we would you could buy like blank CDs, and there was this whole app where you could download music and transfer it to a a disk. But um, and I can't remember the name of the one streaming, but it was huge, and people were getting like arrested and all this stuff for downloading this music on yeah, on this one computer app. Um, but there was a way around it, obviously, and you could literally burn CDs and then play them.

SPEAKER_03 19:21

Yeah, my dad had some.

SPEAKER_06 19:22

I remember when I got uh I think it was my second car because they still had like a single displayer, just the radio, some still had cassettes, but like my second car that I bought on my own had a six CD change thing in your car.

SPEAKER_03 19:43

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_06 19:43

So you could put six CDs in at once and then you could just change through it.

SPEAKER_03 19:47

Yeah, I remember the cars like that. My first car, um, I didn't have like a Bluetooth hookup, I had to physically buy one. Yeah, of course. So before I did that, um I would listen to the same CD. Yeah, because nobody wanted to listen to my Glee CDs, so I don't want to listen to God Glee. I love Glee.

I saw some of my diaries, and so when I wasn't when I was younger and I started my first diary, I had a huge crush on this guy, okay, in my grade. And then me and my best friend at the time would always have sleepovers, and we were pretty close with him too as we got older. So he would come and sleep over with us on my house, like whatever. My mom wouldn't care.

SPEAKER_06 23:07

We told my dad he was gay, and um, not that I think my dad would have cared, but yeah, like I used to have a best friend, we just kind of and I would have sleepovers at his house all the time, and we would all sleep in my room, like whatever.

SPEAKER_03 23:19

And he found it, and it's like me saying Ashi, and then his last name. Oh my god, yeah, and he he would always ask me, like, until senior year, can you please send me a picture of those?

SPEAKER_06 23:31

No, so embarrassing.

SPEAKER_03 23:34

Oh my god. We got really close, so at that point I was like, Oh god, that's just embarrassing. Like, I wasn't like, Yeah, I can never see him again, but I was like, Oh my fucking you live with so fucking embarrassing.

Oh my god, that's so embarrassing. I die. Good lord. Would you survive a week with no TikTok?

SPEAKER_03 23:58

Yeah, Instagram reels. Next, like Facebook reels, uh no tick tock, yeah, because I'd probably get a lot of fucking homework done. Oh my god, and I would read a lot. I like to read. Yeah, do you? Yeah, but I'd rather okay. You know what's so weird about me? When I'm like when I have a lot of shit to do, like I have mad homework to do, whatever, or like stuff for the podcast, or like our business idea. I can't read a book because I feel like I'm just wasting a lot of time. But TikTok is okay, but I think if I didn't remember when TikTok got shut down for a little while, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 24:32

I was just gonna say that.

SPEAKER_03 24:34

You know what? I thought it was gonna affect me really bad.

SPEAKER_06 24:36

It really didn't yeah, people are going crazy over that shit, like insane.

SPEAKER_03 24:42

Your t your for you page, is it all funny?

SPEAKER_06 24:46

Yeah, it's not.

SPEAKER_03 24:47

I mean, there's like some stuff, you know, that's like mine are like get ready with me, yeah, like hauls, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 24:54

A lot of mine are hauls. Oh my god, I love those.

SPEAKER_03 24:59

I know they're so satisfying.

SPEAKER_06 25:01

Yeah, I was just gonna say satisfying, they're so satisfying to watch those. I watch this one lady and she's got I'm like, oh my god, the gadgets she has, and you like hear her pour like the water in her tub and then the soap, and it's like you know, and then she like scrubs it and it's like oh my god, or even car detailing videos and mowing videos, like in my office.

SPEAKER_03 25:24

If you like just if I'm too quiet, just peek your head around the corner. I'm probably watching Spencer at SB mowing mow lawns that haven't been touched in years. So satisfying.

SPEAKER_06 25:32

Oh my god, really? Oh my god, I like the car detailing one though, because some of the seriously, the gadgets they have for that shit is insane to me. Awesome.

SPEAKER_03 25:41

Yeah, I think it'd be so satisfying to detail a car.

SPEAKER_06 25:44

I know, I would love like a really nice detailing kit. I'm getting goosebumps for talking about it, and they go in like every crack and crevice, and it's like so shiny. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 25:57

You know what else is really satisfying is um freshly paved driveways. Me and my best friends uh when we would pass for precious um pop up. I was gonna say a freshly paved driveway, a freshly paved driveway. We used to be like, oh my god, that's satisfying. So pristine. Oh my god, I would love to run my car on that.

SPEAKER_07 26:20

I just want to run my wheels over it. Oh fuck.

SPEAKER_03 26:26

All right, isn't it weird for a 39-year-old to go out partying with 23 to 25 year olds?

SPEAKER_06 26:33

Um, I don't think so because I do that. So period, it's okay because you it's okay because I do. Here's the thing. I I don't think it is. I think if you can find someone that you connect with and you have a lot in common, it doesn't matter. I mean, look at us, we're 14 years apart. You know what I mean? And we are so close and we get along so well and have so much in common. Just our I think our energy flows really well. And like my other best friend, she's older than me by like what is she now? 44. She is older than me, you know, and like you go through different things in life, and if you bring that to the table, you know, and you just connect with somebody. So I don't think it is. I don't think so. Okay, even another friend of mine, she's um she's your age, and she yeah, and like we are very close, and you know, so I don't I don't think so. And we're we have a lot in common with certain things, you know. So I don't think so. Okay, age is just a number, jail is just a room.

SPEAKER_07 27:47

Where do you come off with this?

SPEAKER_03 27:49

I saw that one on Facebook.

SPEAKER_06 27:51

Oh my god. Okay, but um what's what's an app that you would consider is for old people or an old person app, in your opinion.

SPEAKER_03 28:09

An old person app? Yeah, like what oh I know what's a candy crush.

SPEAKER_06 28:15

Oh my god, I don't have that, thank god.

SPEAKER_03 28:18

What's the one you have?

SPEAKER_07 28:23

Bubble blaster, no magic sword, but that's fun old candy crushes for old people.

SPEAKER_03 28:32

Every single fucking mom, except for probably mine, because all my mom does on her phone is read and send me TikTok reels about how it's bad to vape. Oh my god, something about right every day. I'll get like four from her. It says, The dangers of vaping. She loves it, yeah. It's because I'm so on her health endurance. Don't worry, mom. I come off this year anyway. Oh god, do it myself. What matters less to you now that used to feel so important? Um, people in my life. Period. Good answer.

SPEAKER_06 29:13

Yeah, there's certain people and like things, you know, worrying about people impressing them, or like um, you know, having certain people in your life that you just you know, you realize are not meant to be in your life. That's what I would say.

SPEAKER_03 29:35

I think I'm starting to learn that. I think I'm starting to learn that because I used to be a huge people pleaser. And part of me still is, but now like I don't really care anymore, yeah. To be honest. Like some people I want to keep around, so yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 29:52

Right. You you do though, like you start to like really like see and understand, you know, that some people you you just can't worry about it. People are who they are, and if they don't fit into your life, yeah, if if they don't that's exactly it. Yep, what's a trend you think we're too old to understand?

SPEAKER_01 30:22

Oh fuck.

SPEAKER_03 30:26

A trend you're too old to understand. Oh my god, I don't know. I don't know. A trend, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 30:36

I know that's a tough one.

SPEAKER_03 30:39

Because I'm not a trendy person, like I don't follow the trends, yeah. Um a trend, a trend, a trend, a trend.

SPEAKER_06 30:50

Like, um I don't know. Yeah, is there like a TikTok trend that you look at? Like, oh, this is cool, but you would think we're tooled to get it.

SPEAKER_03 31:03

No, I don't think so. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, maybe if I was on top of the trends, I would know.

SPEAKER_06 31:10

Fair, that's fair, it's a fair answer.

SPEAKER_03 31:14

That's a really hard question. Yeah, would you switch lives with me for a week? Why or why not?

SPEAKER_06 31:20

Oh, this is a good one. Okay, and then you have to answer the same question. Okay, um, I would actually, okay, and I would because I so I again obviously I'm 39, single mom with two kids, and I remember when my kids were little, okay, and being around your age, and what it felt like to be a mom. Now, granted, I had you know two, well, at the time, one obviously, um, but like going through life navigating as a mom who works and feeling overwhelmed, and you always you have a little boy, and you always just seem like you have it together, really, yes, and I and I do I think about that, like where I was at your age when I was a mom, and I look at where you are at your age as a mom working, and I always think you have it together more than I did at that age, you know, just with stress and emotions, and like you go to school and all these things you handle, and I I look at you seriously, I look at you and I'm like, holy shit, like she hand you're you do you handle yourself very well, you're always funny, you're yeah, so I I I would to see what that's like at your age to have to see how you manage that, so yeah, I would, I would, and I will not be offended if you say no about my life.

SPEAKER_03 33:02

No, I would. I want to switch with you, I want to see what it's like to be a girl mom for a week. Oh my god. Also, to um, I just want to know how you process things. If you ever want to get in someone's, yeah, oh my god, inside somebody's head, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 33:16

I want to know the way you think, yeah, it's that's what I mean. Like how you manage stress and like life and your emotions and feelings of it and what you think on things, you know, like just even what we talked about last week on Friday, just things like that in life, you know, stressors about kids in school, and you know, how you handle that and process that and like your thought process of it, and how you keep it together at your age. Uh, but yeah, I would actually. Um, do you know any songs that weren't popular on TikTok first? Yes, yeah, I figured you would. Do you like divorced dad music? Yeah, when you say divorced dad, oh sorry, what is this?

SPEAKER_03 34:07

SPEAKER_03 52:09

Those are good ones, though. Have you ever lied about your age?

SPEAKER_06 52:15

We're mom and daughter in a different life. Can you imagine? Oh my god, no. I don't know how your mother has survived you.

SPEAKER_03 53:02

You if I was your mom, you would probably be so psychotic right now.

SPEAKER_00 53:07

I am psychotic right now.

SPEAKER_03 53:08

Sometimes I can't believe about mother. I've never lied about my age except for my Facebook account. But I would just I think we had to do that when I first.

SPEAKER_06 53:18

Even I didn't.

SPEAKER_03 53:19

You had to be 13 to get one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 53:21

SPEAKER_03 54:07

I feel like it just happened once at work. Oh my god, that was so cringe. What?

SPEAKER_00 54:11

I know.

SPEAKER_03 54:13

Oh, like remember how it's like, I don't know if it was in the last video. No, I don't think so. But we were like when there's like a guy and he's in a group of people and he is talking and nobody's listening to trying to talk.

SPEAKER_07 54:27

Like that's cringe.

SPEAKER_03 54:31

That's cringe. Um I have a lot of cringe, like I cringe at a lot. Yeah, like I think in our first episode no, our second episode, I was like, when guys trip over their feet. That's cringe.

SPEAKER_04 54:46

Yeah, I think that's funny. I think that's fucking hilarious.

SPEAKER_03 54:54

Okay. What's something that makes you cringe? Um girls trying too hard to be funny, cringe.

SPEAKER_02 55:06

Do we have someone to mind?

SPEAKER_03 55:09

Maybe. Um the video of me in my chair the other day at work when we were sitting on that. Oh god, dude. I saved that video. It's fucking hilarious. I think I saved it off your story.

SPEAKER_06 55:20

It's amazing. It's fucking amazing.

SPEAKER_03 55:24

SPEAKER_06 55:34

I know, it's so funny. Oh my god, it's like my favorite. So funny, and then you like give me the peace.

SPEAKER_07 55:49

Oh yeah, yeah. Oh my god, that's hilarious.

SPEAKER_06 55:55

Um, what does soft launching a relationship mean?

SPEAKER_03 56:01

So like hard launching would be like you post a photo of you and your boyfriend or girlfriend. That's hard launching, but soft launching is like little little hints that you are with somebody. Oh, it's like a picture of your hand and somebody else's hands are soft launching. Okay, like hard launch makes me going, and boom, that's them. That's her face.

SPEAKER_06 56:20

I've never heard that terminology before, FYI.

SPEAKER_03 56:24

So, yeah, because it's stupor to stop. Hard launch. Shut up.

SPEAKER_07 56:29

Shut up, shut the fuck off.

SPEAKER_03 56:35

Do you think my generation is too sensitive?

SPEAKER_06 56:38

Um, yes, I do. I do. I think that again, y'all worry about shit that just does not fucking matter at the end of the day. Not everything, but some stuff. But I think you guys are very and and not everyone, because I think you have a pretty like I think you get sensitive with certain things, but I think you also are able to let a lot of shit go. Like you know, yeah, like stupid shit. Um, but I think that yeah, I do. I think your generation is very sensitive with people's outlooks or views, or you it's really hard for people to debate stuff without. But honestly, even so is the old like the older generations.

SPEAKER_03 57:28

I I think with like the time frame now with all the the cancel culture and like right with all these fucking things coming out. Yeah, yeah, um, so many people are sensitive. I think my generation they care too much about what they look like. Obviously, like not stop, but like even the younger kids, like, oh my god, they look so old, they always have their hair blown out and yeah, big curls, and I'm like, Oh, I have one actually back to our something I'd say cringe.

SPEAKER_06 57:59

Something that really makes me cringe is when I see videos of people online and they're wearing those stupid fucking pimple patches, and and my kid does that now. Thank you. It's we went out to eat, and these girls came in to the restaurant and they were fucking wearing them. I I don't understand it, I think it's fucking stupid. It does not, in my opinion, look cute. I don't like it.

SPEAKER_03 58:27

Yeah, and I locate where they didn't even work anyway. Same, same business trying to get your money. Um it's working, you know, those don't really bother me for some reason.

SPEAKER_00 58:38

I don't like them.

SPEAKER_03 58:39

Um, you know what I think is cringe is the fact that I was wearing leggings the other day and they didn't go all the way down to my ankle, like they were like a little above my ankle, so I only shaved from like the top of my ankle down. Look how bad they are. Look, I shaved my beard now. Oh my god, it's so embarrassing. Oh my god. Remember when I was wearing those root beacons and I'm like sitting on a yes like this? I had to do this because there's so much herbs popping out my jeans. I'm so cringy.

SPEAKER_04 59:18

Oh my god, that's so funny.

SPEAKER_03 59:19

But I'll admit it.

SPEAKER_04 59:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 59:21

The shit that's wrong with me, I'll admit.

SPEAKER_04 59:23

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 59:24

That's fucking hilarious.

SPEAKER_03 59:32

What's something you still don't have figured out at 39?

SPEAKER_06 59:35

Oh. Parenting.

SPEAKER_03 59:38

I think you got it down.

SPEAKER_06 59:41

Some days I feel like I do, some days I don't. Um, but I take like parenting or oh shit, fucking life in general, relationships. I mean, you learn a lot as you get older. ASMR. That's another one. It's like, what? I didn't even know what ASMR was in my kids. Like, ASMR. I'm like, what the fuck is it? Yeah. It's like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:16

ASMR. I used to hate that shit. My sister would listen to that and they used to drive me fucking crazy. But some things are okay, but the fucking get ready with me is any scroll over wearing the nails 14 inches on every product.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:29

Yeah, I don't know. I can't, yeah, I can't do it. Um, but yeah, I I think parenting, I think those things no one really gets down path. Agree. Uh I think, yeah, I mean you learn, but as you get older, so do they. So it's new, you know, fights and issues.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:57

Um and every kid is different, yeah. Every relationship is different.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:01

Yep, it's true. So there's no rule book. Comes with their own shit, their own. I mean, all you can do is take what you learned from the last one, you know. But um, yeah, I would say just navigating life, you know, work and all that. That's what I would say.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:24

Yeah. Um what time is late to you?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:31

Like 12.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:33

Like midnight?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:34

Yeah. Yeah. Late to me before like when I before I had Leo. Like 3 a.m.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:42

Like now I'm like 12. Did you guys have you had tampons, right? Were they the cardboard applicators?

SPEAKER_06 1:01:50

Um, those were out, but we had plastic ones. Oh, really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:54

What age did you first use your first tampon?

SPEAKER_06 1:01:57

I was in high school.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:59

I I got my period late.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:01

See, I got mine kind of early.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:02

What age? Um grade. I was in like eighth grade.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:06

Yeah, I think I was in like just about to go into seventh. Okay. I think. I think it was just about yeah, sixth or seventh, I think.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:19

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:20

I think I had just gone into well, I was also older because like where my birthday landed, so I was one of the oldest kids in my class. Yeah, yeah. So, but I was in high school and I was terrified of a tampon? Yeah, I was so scared. I didn't know how to do it. I was so scared.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:40

The first time I used one, I could not figure it out. I just shoved the whole thing up there with the plastic avocator. Oh that shit hurt so bad. Oh, and I was like, why do people think these are so comfortable? Like, you know, the commercials and it's like people running. Oh my god. Like, dude, it hurts so bad.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:55

You kept the plastic in the whole time because I didn't know you weren't supposed to.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:58

Oh, and it's like, damn. This is soaking up nothing, and also it fucking is scruping my insides. Yeah, I hurt really bad. I hope it's not normal.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:11

Oh god, ow. How did you find out? Like, did someone tell you?

SPEAKER_03 1:03:17

I think I ended up asking my best friend at the time.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:20

Yeah, I had to ask my two best friends on how to do it. Yeah, like I because I didn't know I was so scared.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:29

I would I when I had my period, I didn't tell my mom. I would fucking rate ults and leave them on her bed and be like, Can you please get me oh my some feminine products? I could not say it face to face. Really? Oh my god, no. I can't I never talk about it anyway. Like, I'll talk about it with you or my best friend. I fucking hate talking about my period, it's so disgusting to me.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:50

Yeah, yeah. I'm not big, like we're we're talking about it now, but like I'll see videos of girls and like on TikTok or Instagram, and they're like, Yeah, no, no, no, my period. And I'm like, oh my god, you're posting that online, stop.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:04

Or the other day at work, I said something like period, and they're like, Oh, you have your period. Like, I just had like period, like how it's it, and someone was like, You have your period. I'm like, Oh my god, never say that again. Never say that you're a woman, and I'm like, Oh, I'm not a woman, I'm a girl. I'm still a girl.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:21

I don't get my period, I'm a girl, stop. I also don't move. Um my god, but yeah, I hate talking about that shit.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:32

And when I found out Leo was a boy, I was relieved because I'm like, first of all, I wanted a boy, yeah, but um I was like, I never have to have the period talk.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:41

I'm so excited.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:42

I know I have to do it twice, just sit them down at the same time, one and done.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:48

Like, they know what it is, they know like what happens, but they don't know, you know.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:55

When I was younger, I thought my mom was the only woman on this earth to get their period.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:59

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:02

I had the I it was weird. I was like, my mom's the only one who gets her period for some reason because no one else ever talked about it. Like my grandma didn't talk about it.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:12

Yeah, oh my god. Did your mom like have a conversation with you about it?

SPEAKER_03 1:05:18

Not like a sit-down one. No, that's why I got pregnant at 22. Just kidding. I was 21. Oh my god. Just kidding. Um, but yeah, but we really never had to talk about it. Like the birds and the beast on.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:33

Did you have a conversation?

SPEAKER_06 1:05:35

No, um, not. I mean, you know, like I would have questions, you know, just being your and you would ask your mom. Yeah. Well, my mom was very reserved, like she's a lot less reserved now. Like, I I couldn't even say the word fart, and not because like they would beat me or anything, but it was just my grandmother. was really reserved so my mom was brought up like that and you know like we said floated a biscuit what the fuck does that mean art you floated a biscuit what the and i remember the first time i said cunt to my mother i love that word i do i do too i like it guys hate that word it does not offend me like she it used to i know it used to offend me because that's what we were taught that it was highly i mean it is offensive but it it doesn't bother me i use it all the time but i remember being in the car with my mom and we were at a stoplight and i was bitching about a friend of mine or something at school and i was like she's such a cunt and my mother turned and she was like jessica and i was like i don't even know what it means i just said i didn't i had no idea really i just knew it was not like i did not know what it meant like the real meaning of what a cunt is is just a derogatory term you know but like yeah and she's like jessica i've never been offended by that word yeah i love that word i was back in the day like long long time ago now like i use it all the time i don't care what would you be offended by if somebody called you it uh fat chubby greek girl google version uh yeah if someone was like you fat booch i'd be offended by that but like you can call me a cunt a bitch stuff like that doesn't really yeah cunt bitch what about a slot does that bother no because i know i'm not so yeah or yeah the same thing like i mean i guess it would depend on the person you know like if it was someone really close to me and they're like you're a fucking whore i might be a little upset you know but if someone like if i was just in an argument with someone they're like you fucking slot i'd be like okay got me there that's me subscribe to my only fans i wish i was brave enough to make one oh my god yeah i don't know how some of these girls do it and that's another thing like about your no they're not not some of them but like as i think that's another thing maybe more with your generation i mean there's people my age that do it but it's more like over the past several years like become a thing because it's easy you can sit in your bedroom and flick your fucking bean yeah you don't have to go to work it's crazy to me the amount of people that have one when porn is free I think it honestly is because it's like real local people they make it better I think it gives them yeah I don't know like oh because you actually know the person you're like yeah let me see yeah or like you know of them you know they live locally like you I I really do I think that's like a thing like you know porn it's like people you're never ever gonna run into you're never gonna meet you're never gonna see but like OnlyFans and and again there people do OnlyFans all over the world but you have those people who are on like TikTok who openly talk about their OnlyFans or mattress actress you know that sort of thing and then you have local people around here who post on their Facebook the you know subscribe to my only fans oh my god I would never post on my Facebook if you had an OnlyFans you would because you are you want that attention we have like half my half my Facebook's my family okay well that would be weird yeah I know subscribe to my only fans uncle oh my god I would die I could never I know that's why oh my god uh yeah no no there's no way what was your biggest fear when you were younger um the amount of friends that I had okay mine was kidnapping but oh so you mean more of like I mean I used to be terrified to die oh yeah I still am I'm not anymore you're not scared to die no I'm scared to leave my kids behind if I did but but you're not scared to die no oh my god I used to like have like a real fear of it though and my kid does too she's like terrified to die she's so scared about it I don't want to die not yet I'm not saying I want to die because I don't oh right but I'm more afraid of the people I leave behind yeah than anything I'm scared to die I don't think I've fulfilled my life quite yet yeah you haven't or also like what really happens when you go did you guys go to church a lot no so I well I did I did I I went to a Catholic a private school when I was younger and I used to go with my grandmother every Saturday to church and I loved it because the old ladies loved me so they'd always like when you go to do peace they'd always give me candy or like money they loved me.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:49

What religion are you I was born and raised Catholic okay yeah we never did the peace be with you thing in church did you guys go to church a lot when we were younger we did and we were we went to Greek school me and my sister yeah that was on Saturdays and then we would have church on Sundays but we stopped going when we got older because my brother started hockey and then games were on the weekend but yeah we didn't do that.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:14

Were you born and raised Catholic or no Greek Orthodox oh duh okay yeah um I I personally don't go to church um that's where I'll leave it you know like part of me was like oh maybe I should start taking Leo there I was like but then I'm like oh my god I'd probably burn the place down as soon as I walk in I incinerate myself just catch on go up in flames that'd be crazy they sacrificed me to the gods oh my god stop but we were all baptized Leo's baptized because yeah me my kids well it's something you think people our age take too seriously our jokes okay like when I have a minor inconvenience and I probably shouldn't be saying this but I'm like oh my god KMS right yeah oh my god my mom hates when I say that it's not actually gonna do it it's just a minor I yeah um wait wait what was the question again what's something you think people our age take too seriously um oh my god I thought you guys take too serious yeah jokes I guess like certain things we talk about um I don't know it's so hard because you're such a young 39 yeah yeah like I don't think you take anything too serious especially if it's coming out of my mouth too seriously no never I don't know if that was like a backhanded compliment or something it was like no nothing you say is ever serious you stupid bitch no yeah like the jokes yeah I don't I agree with you though like I don't I definitely don't consider myself like to think about when I was your age to think about being 40 almost was like oh my god you know like ooh and I don't know if it's because my parents are a lot older than me like my dad he's gone but he would be 82 and I'm only 39. So they're and my siblings and I have a huge age gap difference. So I don't you know and my mom though like both my parents even though they were a lot older they're 10 years apart so um you know them being older but still being really young at heart and like my mom does not look her age at all. No she doesn't and neither does my sister you know or my brother but I think maybe for me because I grew up with older parents but they didn't act super old you know and my siblings getting like a whole generation you know of like being very close with my grandmother and then having older parents but they're at they act young and then my sister you know and and then being my age and having kids and you know like I take certain things serious but I don't look at myself like oh my god I'm pushing 40 life is so hard and and it is hard but I am very much in tune I think with a lot of the undergenerational stuff.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:42

I think so too um I think I I mean I obviously have to be somewhat because I have girls you know kids but for myself personally it's not me just looking and like knowing what's in it's just you know and I have younger friends I know like the older people that don't have kids and they're just trying to like stay with the trends oh yeah yeah you know what I mean trying to keep up with the Joneses baby so for my final question that I have for you my god what was the Great Depression like oh fuck you oh my god I'm like what is she gonna ask me deep one yeah that is a deep one shit my favorite thing at work is like when the older people are like oh this I've been here for 20 years and I'm like I was only five I know people of saying shit like that it is crazy though like you talk about the Great Depression but like so you were there yeah but being growing up and seeing prices of things and how you know people would bitch about gas being a dollar ninety or you know whatever and the price of milk and eggs and stuff like that and seeing it you know when you live that and see it you will never know what it was like to have gas at a dollar fifty or a dollar ninety you will never know what it was like to pay so you guys got all the good stuff I get it yeah right but you know what's crazy what my generation and your generation doesn't maybe not you specifically but like the older people are always like oh my god the inflation is crazy everything's so expensive and okay I might say like oh that's expensive or that went up a little bit but my generation we don't really complain about it a lot because we're gonna have to get it anyway and because you you don't know that feeling like you're I think more and more like gas prices are going up and things like that you're understanding but it's it is inflation and it's gone up you know significantly but you from where I was when I was your age or younger this is a huge jump from where we used to be so I I also think maybe part of that is true where you guys might not complain about it as much because you don't fully you didn't get to fully experience just how much of a jump that is if you did you might feel differently there's only one thing that I complain about with the pricing and that is McChicken.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:34

Right and I'm like geez yeah older people but they grew up not really texting so right right I would say that yeah or I think yeah I would say that's it do you think it's weird how they come up with these like names for people in different age like Gen Z millennialized I think you would be considered Gen Z.
