EP 1 - Pineapple, Pizza & Poor Decisions

This episode of the PB&J Show is exactly what happens when random thoughts, strong food opinions, and zero supervision collide. From the never-ending pineapple on pizza debate to strange hypothetical questions nobody asked for, Panda, Beast, and J9 take listeners on a completely unpredictable ride through food, chaos, and hilarious hot takes.

One minute we’re debating pizza crimes, the next we’re asking questions that probably should’ve stayed inside our heads. If you like unfiltered conversations, ridiculous opinions, and laughing at things that make absolutely no sense… welcome home.

Crunchy or smooth? Pineapple or prison? Tune in and decide for yourself.

Transcript

SPEAKER_04 0:00

And just like that, you're here. Welcome to the PBNJ podcast, where things get a little messy, a little bold, and definitely not fucking boring.

SPEAKER_01 0:09

We're serving up some real talk, some hot takes, and conversations you probably shouldn't have, but we're having them anyway.

SPEAKER_02 0:16

So settle in. This is PBJ. Help us save the whales.

SPEAKER_04 0:21

What's up, networking bees? Welcome to our PBJ cast, where we talk about whatever the fuck we want. This is Panda. I'm Gabe Cutlin. Janine. Alright. So let's get it going. We were just talking about uh your intolerance to bread. Your intolerance to bread. My intolerance to bread. That was one of those we're talking about. Move forward with some expression.

SPEAKER_02 0:49

As funny as it is, that was like the least interesting thing we discussed pre-game. Um, Captain George Michael over here. And then um my intolerance to bread, tell you my intolerance to bread.

SPEAKER_04 1:00

Yeah, like uh we were talking about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. How I didn't have never really, I guess, tried one or had one that like really piqued my interest to continue to have one. Maybe just like when I was raised, yeah, like my parents never really gave it to Living your entire life on the planet Earth. You've never had never, never, never. So so what's going on here?

SPEAKER_02 1:22

Um, yeah, just can't do it. I it interestingly, though, when you go to Europe, a lot of the things you can't have here, you can't have there. Like a lot of people are gluten intolerant here, they go to Europe and they're just fine.

SPEAKER_01 1:33

Bait pasta, like it's nothing because of the the the quality of the ingredients over there is different.

SPEAKER_04 1:42

So it's like whatever's inside of there has an impact on your body, basically. So the arsenic that they put into the food I'm kidding, it's not the uh I mean like talk about arsenic. You know, like apples have a certain percentage of arsenic inside of them, and you're very uh inclined to eating apples all the time. Every time we go to like a meeting summer, you always have like an apple and a peanut butter or uh peanut butter uh jar, right? Yeah, or you have your like Asian pears.

SPEAKER_02 2:09

Well, you don't know you'll get stranded. You can be stranded on desert island, and you're gonna be like, Man, I wish I had now that I'm stranded on this desert island, the things I wish for right now were Asian pears and peanut butter. Not to be rescued, not for anything else, but Asian pears and peanut butter.

SPEAKER_01 2:25

Peanut butter is like a food group for me. I literally have it and I just spoonful it out. That's like my treat. I love it. It's like Nutella, same thing.

SPEAKER_04 2:34

I like peanut butter inside of uh like a protein uh shake that's a chocolate protein shake, and then you also throw a banana in there. There's like this cool mix that is just phenomenal.

SPEAKER_02 2:46

We're gonna have this out. So Danielle and I went to Tropical Smoothie Cafe whenever this week, and we're getting smoothies, and I was like, I would like the um it's called peanut butter paradise, is like the protein smoothie. Yes, yes, it's my favorite. No banana, no banana. And she's like, Why are you not getting a banana? So when you get a smoothie, right, and you get your berries and get the flavonoids, which are the antioxidants that give you the benefit of a smoothie. Flavonoids bananas have a protein that binds to flavonoids that make them useless to your body. That's what I heard. So adding banana to a smoothie actually kills the positive effects of a smoothie. And I never liked bananas to begin with, which is probably that's probably why like my subconscious knew. But um, yeah, no banana.

SPEAKER_01 3:31

I love bananas and peanut butter. In fact, I love the elvis sandwich, which is my bananas are so gross. The elvis sandwich is peanut butter, banana, and honey. And it is fabulous. It is fabulous. Once you put honey drizzled over peanut butter, it'll change your life.

SPEAKER_02 3:48

Sounds pretty amazing. The man died. Probably from eating the banana, probably from all that banana.

SPEAKER_01 3:54

But it's so good.

SPEAKER_04 3:55

Do you have any banana trees?

SPEAKER_01 3:57

I don't have any, I don't.

SPEAKER_04 3:59

I have these banana trees in the back. They're cold like mousas, and they're like the tallest bananas and trees in the in the world. They're like already like 35 feet tall.

SPEAKER_02 4:09

Yeah, your your backyard is he has. I I'm still this will always perplex me in a very good way. That 250-year-old tree killing orchid that's now like 400 pounds. He has a 400 pound. I I thought orchids were these little things. It's like this 400-pound thing that's like 10, 12 feet long.

SPEAKER_04 4:28

It's a tree killer. So the it's the tiger orchid, and I bought it at an estate sale from a lady that passed away. She was 90, and uh He killed her for it and it was like, yeah, that's right. I uh that's uh you know what? I love Facebook Market. Like the great thing about Facebook Market is like, you know, you get to take over somebody's possessions that and like give it love all over again. You know what I mean? Like, and specifically to plants, like whether it's like via divorce or via like death, right? But either way, I've like acquired like a plethora of all these different like botanical treasures, and one of them is the uh the tiger orchid, and it's like in this gigantic pot. It's like an enormous pot. It took two people in a moving truck to move it, and it's it's uh it's one of my favorite plants.

SPEAKER_02 5:21

It looks like Job of the Hut.

SPEAKER_04 5:23

It does.

SPEAKER_01 5:24

Do you have a photograph of this orchid?

SPEAKER_02 5:27

Not on me, but I mean, we can cast one day from my garden if you want.

SPEAKER_04 5:32

We'll get a picture.

SPEAKER_02 5:33

It looks like Job of the Hut spilling over this pot and like consuming everything around.

SPEAKER_04 5:37

And it's got like all these like tentacles lava. So the reason they call it like a the tree killer is because it starts off really small, right? Like anything starts off really small, but it just grows and grows and grows to the point where it's like this immense structure that is just putting such weight on everything and it just snaps them, and then the trees just snap and they die.

SPEAKER_01 6:00

That's the uh banyan trees, the roots that just like permeate throughout the ground.

SPEAKER_04 6:06

Yeah, so that's the banyan tree, but there's also uh uh Florida native called the Strangler Fig, which looks like a banyan tree, but those also start very small, they start at the top of a tree somewhere, right? And it's just like a little seed that like opened up and they grow on the bark of like a palm tree or any other tree, and then it'll start extending a root all the way down, it'll go into the ground and then it'll start wrapping around the base of the um of the palm tree or whatever tree, and eventually it kills it also. But you'll see like you'll go to like uh you'll go to um a um a nature preserve and you'll see these like weird deformed looking trees that have all these things wrapped around them, and those are typically strangler figs.

SPEAKER_02 6:51

Banyan trees might be, and I think my dislike of Florida is well documented in the annals of history by this point, but I think banyan trees might be the best part of Florida.

SPEAKER_04 7:01

They're beautiful, bannion trees are beautiful, they're so cool. They have uh capock trees, they have silk floss trees, the kapok trees, which I also have, it's quite enormous. Um, it's probably gonna be a 300-foot tree. I don't know in my lifetime, but yeah, those are really good. Big box.

SPEAKER_02 7:17

The person who buys it from your estate on Facebook Marketplace will eventually get it to 300 feet.

SPEAKER_04 7:22

They won't be able to move it, like it's already gonna be in there. But those things are like enormous, but you could see them, they're all over Florida. They've got all these like pretty amazing uh you know nature preserves and botanical gardens. We're so lucky here in Florida to have this weather and all that good stuff, right?

SPEAKER_01 7:38

We are in Florida, by the way. If you had not already caught on, we are located in sunny South Florida, which is very different from Northern Florida, and we are on the East Coast, which is also very different from any other Yeah, we're in not consuming squirrels as a major food group part of Florida. Correct.

SPEAKER_04 7:57

Yes, and technically you're in both in Del Rey or Inverness. Have you ever had squirrel? Have I no?

SPEAKER_02 8:05

I don't know. Like I'd be open to it. I don't know if it would be bad. There's just like lines in life I'm not interested in crossing in the side.

SPEAKER_04 8:12

Well, like people in uh I think it's is I think it's Peru. It like one of the delicacies is um uh it's not a hamster. A guinea pig. They eat guinea pig. Guinea pig.

SPEAKER_02 8:26

I'm a vegetarian, so first of all, that would be no go for me.

SPEAKER_04 8:28

But even if I did, like I would I would try it. I try I would try, I'd try anything one time.

SPEAKER_01 8:35

I've had rabbits, rabbits pretty good.

SPEAKER_04 8:37

Rabbits pretty good. Pretty good, pretty good, it's delicious. Frog legs, pretty decent. Frog legs, they haven't, they're very popular.

SPEAKER_02 8:43

I like it's just so uh it's like it's like alright, like what this is like fear factor. It's like, all right, what what strange and exotic thing can we eat? Because it's not like we have like enough food.

SPEAKER_01 8:56

Don't they eat monkey brains in China? That's a delicacy.

SPEAKER_04 8:59

I uh I don't know if it's China. I know in Indiana Jones they did. I didn't go to that part of China.

SPEAKER_02 9:04

That movie's so racist when we used to do it that night, and they're eating like snakes out of like a slit the snake babies out of a slit snake. I don't know if that's supposed to be no, it wasn't India. I don't know where it's supposed to be, but I was like, wow, this is like somewhere in Asia. It's wildly, wildly racist.

SPEAKER_04 9:18

Like it felt like almost like Indonesia. I can't remember the exact look, but that was like such a cool movie. And there's restaurants out there that'll just like serve you anything that like has parents.

SPEAKER_02 9:28

My dad had cow tongue in I can't remember what somewhere in China. That's like a normal thing.

SPEAKER_01 9:33

There's a restaurant, it's a Peruvian restaurant in Miami that actually sells, like they they serve you and it's a tray and it has all the different parts of the cow. So there's cow heart, there's cow tongue, there's you know how are we here in life?

SPEAKER_02 9:48

Like how this is what this is where human civilization has led to? What consuming other animals to survive? I don't have an issue with the cons consumption of animals, but it's like, all right, we got the shank, we got all this jazz, but like why don't we give a why don't we give a go at the heart muscle?

SPEAKER_04 10:04

Talk about heart muscle. I didn't know that. I I saw this the other day, and like apparently the heart is like like a like a sheet that's like wrapped. I didn't know that.

unknown 10:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:14

That was like a sheet. There's like a and when they do heart surgery, they will slit it, and then afterward you can like hear your heartbeat in your ears because that sheet around it that is a sound dampener is gone until it heals. I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

The things you learn on the PB and J cast.

SPEAKER_04 10:33

Absolutely. So back to um back to your Asian pairs, right? So what got you so into Asian pairs?

SPEAKER_02 10:44

So this okay, my my Biffle uh introduced me at one night at his house. So I have my two friends, Chris and Eric, who my male best friend in high school married my female best friend in high school. We're all in like the same group, and everyone's still in the same group. We still it's crazy because most high school groups don't stay together, let alone like 20 whatever years later. But we still all like everyone was in each other's weddings, blah blah blah blah. And we we get together and play board games all the time. That's fun. I like that. We'll like buy no, but we'll like buy like what the fuck is this weird obscure board game we've never heard out, and we'll try it, and it'll either like end up like we're never touching that again, or like this this is in the list.

SPEAKER_01 11:21

Cards against humanity is amazing, by the way.

SPEAKER_02 11:23

But this is like this is like like this is going to be an 18-month campaign game. Uh of just non-stop board game playing. Yeah, of just like this is we're gonna get together. It's like a hundred scenarios, and you level your characters, and we're gonna do this over. It's gonna take 18 months to go through this. So we'll we'll do stuff like that, and then we'll buy one like, oh, this looked cool. This was highly rated, and we'll try it. The problem is my friend Kristen ends up everything competitive we can't play.

SPEAKER_04 11:49

Cause she just like some people are like that. I know. I don't know. No, it's so crazy because people will tease us. Are those the sore losers? Those are the sore losers. No, she's just no, I think I think I think that type of mentality occurs because of being a sore loser, and somebody taunted you when you were younger, and like you lost, and you're like, I will never lose ever again, blah blah blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_02 12:14

And she's just the that that's more me, but she's like the most uh dead is me, 100%. But she's the most brilliant mind of this generation, and she just like and we all are, but she's just wins, and we don't know it's crazy because we'll we'll play like a card game, like a or whatever it is, and she'll win, and we'll be like, fuck. So we're gonna be all right, that was a great strategy, let us try that, and then we'll still lose. And there's and Eric and I have been like, and we'll meet before we play, and we'll be like, let's just do whatever it takes to be her. Like, even if I gotta like sacrifice into you, like, and we just cannot win. And I being the I'm because I'm the person who's like, if I lose something, like even like when me and my net my niece played can this is some bullshit by the way. Me and my niece, who's like five, played Candyland, okay? And that game's kind of bullshit because it's just like Candyland, I haven't played that in like a long time. That sounds like that would be a good night. It's you got a random result, but she like talks shit and I want to kick in her fucking face because I don't like losing, can't stand losing. I was gonna throw out a window, and I'm like, I'm gonna sit down, whatever it is, I'm gonna sit down and become the best at this thing because I'm never gonna feel this way again, even to a five-year-old.

SPEAKER_04 13:21

Me, my strategy is normally I'm I'm very good at like games or like I don't know if I'm competitive, I just try to be the best that I can be. Yeah, right. So, like, if I know I'm already good, I may let the other person win a bunch of times, just so I can analyze what their strategies are, what their tactics are, and what their skill level is. And then once I understand what that is, I can either choose to win or allow them to win, and then that makes them feel good also at the same time.

SPEAKER_02 13:55

No, I'm gonna crush you to a merciless pulp and like suck the soul from your like wilting marrow to the point that you question if you want to play this game again.

SPEAKER_01 14:02

100% like the white elephant game that like You guys are like terrible.

SPEAKER_04 14:07

You guys are mean.

SPEAKER_01 14:08

The Christmas party, like the family Christmas party. I know every year in a row for like the last like six years before I stopped talking to them. I won.

SPEAKER_02 14:17

Got it. Now I let my nephew know, like, if we play Smash Brothers or whatever, like if you ever beat me, you are going to like frame that moment because you will have earned it.

SPEAKER_04 14:26

Like when I play I used to play pool like all the time. And I was like literally a pool shark. Like back in the day, I used to be in like in nightclub business, right? And I had access to like pool tables all the time. Even when the club closed, like I would be able to play pool till like from like five o'clock in the morning till like whenever, you know what I mean? Like that was like in my 20s where like sleep was like not even a thing, you know. Um, and I remember I used to play two people at one time without a problem, and I would just close. Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_01 15:00

We were just talking about that off camera about your thruple.

SPEAKER_04 15:05

That was an interesting point in my life. Right, all right. Good times, good times, thruples, thruples. Yeah, you gotta live life. There you go.

SPEAKER_01 15:11

I've got this little jar here. Oh, yeah, the jar to spare.

SPEAKER_02 15:14

Jar of So we just kind of go in riffs. So if there's a topic you'd like us to discuss, like write in. And we have several that have been assembled.

SPEAKER_04 15:22

Yeah, these are some of these topics here have actually come from some of our viewers. So let's just see like what we can find in here. The jar of one. Should we each choose one? And then we'll just start with one. Let's see how we go. All right. Here we go. Uh what hill will you die on? I thought that's where it was going. What? What does that mean? What hill? It's like what live. We live in Florida. There's no fucking hill.

SPEAKER_02 15:51

What that means is like, is it like one opinion that you're doing? It's like one opinion you'll never give up that you're like, I'm right and I'll die on that hill. That's right. Me and General Custer dying right here. That's right. All right.

SPEAKER_01 16:06

Like people that are like the earth is round, I will die on that hill. The earth is round. Like something that you are so convicted in that no matter what, you are grounded, whether it's opinion, whether it's it could be anything.

SPEAKER_02 16:20

It's tough for me because I'm a constant centrist that anyone can actually change my mind on anything. I can believe something for 50 years, and if you just make a compelling enough argument, you'll change my mind. Because I I I love the fact that it was weird. You know the bortzes. Like we were talking about something, it was like to do with the Bible, and it was a certain verse that I had my whole life took it one way, and then he like gave me another interpretation of it, and it didn't necessarily change my mind on it, but it was just that introspection into another way of like interpreting this thing that I was like, holy shit, like that's like so cool! Like, you've just enlightened me a bit in the same way that if anyone makes a movie about Batman or whatever and they do their own take on it. I like seeing different people's interpretations of the same thing, because you know, I only have my perspective, all right. And so I it it's hard for me to find a hill that I'll die on. And if I give you one, it's gonna be kind of bland, is is the problem. Because it's like it'll be something that kind of everyone can agree on. Um come back to me, come back to me.

SPEAKER_04 17:23

Like, I'm still trying to figure out what mine is, but I mean, who who wrote this one? Was this you?

SPEAKER_01 17:27

I did.

SPEAKER_04 17:28

Okay, so then you expand on it so we can tell us yours.

SPEAKER_01 17:31

I have a few of them. I mean, I don't think you can have just one. It was one in particular is the mispronunciation of the word library and Valentine's.

SPEAKER_04 17:42

Library. Am I pronouncing it wrong?

SPEAKER_01 17:45

When people say library or Valentine's, it drives me effing insane. F and insane. It's like, where did you learn that? Like in what class did you learn the spelling and the pronunciation, and how did you pass that in elementary school? How how how did that happen?

SPEAKER_04 18:02

That's the same thing as like February, right? Some people say February.

SPEAKER_01 18:07

They do?

SPEAKER_02 18:08

It's just like a palatization, it's just a palatization of the word that becomes easier for your mouth to do the way like could you turns into could you? A lot of realtors will have also have like a lot of.

SPEAKER_01 18:17

But it's a different letter entirely.

SPEAKER_02 18:19

Yeah. True, but if you like, I always call it chipotle, right? But people call it like chipotle or whatever. Chipotle. Or like I like my brain goes chipotle. She's just putting the L before the tea, which is not how it's spelt, right? That's why I say Chipotle, because people are like, why are you putting the L before the tea? But it's just a palatization. Like, for whatever reason, my my mouth most efficiently produces that that way. Give us another one. I want something spicy that I can like jump down your throat about. That's kind of like a pet peeve, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 18:46

Hell that I will die on is no pineapple on pizza. Like, period. Like it's a it's a disgrace. No pineapple on pizza.

SPEAKER_02 18:53

I'm hearing this a lot, and I would be interested to hear your take on why you have a problem with that pizza.

SPEAKER_01 18:57

I'll tell you why. I'll tell you exactly why. Pineapple, when heated, especially in an oven, because it's because it's because it's moisture, it is so unbelievably hot to bite into. You can taste it. It's too it's like eating hot soup right out of the the kit. So it's not because I don't like pineapple, and if it were cooled, that'd be different. But if it's hot out of the oven, I don't particularly enjoy eating.

SPEAKER_02 19:25

Oh, so you either have to have hot pizza and then hurt yourself pineapple, or eatable pineapple and cold pizza. Correct. Oh, so there's no happy medium there.

SPEAKER_01 19:36

There's none. Oh because I've ever eaten hot pineapple, it's all water, it's all juice. It's not enjoyable to eat hot pineapple.

SPEAKER_02 19:43

I didn't think about that. I've had grilled pineapple and it's delicious. I've never, in all the time I've heard people make that argument, this is what I'm saying. I like hearing people's percep perspective. Nobody's had such a good take on that.

SPEAKER_01 19:55

I'm so glad.

SPEAKER_02 19:56

That's like it's a temperature issue.

SPEAKER_01 19:58

It's a temperature thing. What? It's not a taste. Give us another one.

SPEAKER_02 20:00

Give us another one because you see you're on a roll.

SPEAKER_01 20:02

Okay. So you're like changing my life right now, by the way. I love that. Um, I truly, truly believe that uh speaking of uh of pizza, someone crossed over to the dark side. I do like ranch on pizza.

SPEAKER_02 20:18

Oh, ranch is good at everything though.

SPEAKER_01 20:20

And some people are like, that's disgusting. And I'm Italian, so people are.

SPEAKER_02 20:23

As the sauce itself or like dipping.

SPEAKER_01 20:26

Dipping, dipping, or just like taking, you know, hidden valley and just smearing it over and dipping.

SPEAKER_02 20:32

But I'm a sauce whore, so I do I'm a sauce whore 100%. When we go to the restaurant, and they think I'm joking when I'm like, I don't want to be able to see my food.

SPEAKER_01 20:41

Yeah, me too. Like Chipotle, I want all the sauces like drowning.

SPEAKER_04 20:46

I've always wanted to have my own restaurant where like the theme revolves around the sauces. Oh, yes. So like everything's like sauce. That's a winner. Sauce. That's a winner. Or saucy. That's a winner, I guess. Right? Yeah. Um, and then like they bring out like mozzarella sticks or chicken or vegetables for you, or like whatever it is that you like to eat. And then you they bring out a tray of just sauces, and they're all like in like uh color descending orders or from spice to whatever. And laser.

SPEAKER_02 21:21

What if they did on like the painter's easel?

SPEAKER_04 21:23

Ooh. That would be kind of cool too, but then you're only limited to so many sauces.

SPEAKER_02 21:27

I mean, it doesn't have to be an easel with just like eight holes. You could like make it however you want, but they almost serve it like a painter bringing like their like their palette. Palette. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:37

I actually saw this thing on on TikTok where it's like it's like this um canvas, and they would spread like some sort of like cheese smear on it or whatever, and then that would be like, and then you bring it at a party, and then that would be like the thing where people would just like use their chip or whatever to paint right off of it. But sauces is like like, for example, yesterday I had uh fish stick. Do you remember fish sticks from like back in the day? That's what we grew up on in the 80s.

SPEAKER_01 22:05

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 22:06

Frozen fish sticks. So um I love fish sticks. And uh the one thing that I do like putting on fish sticks is French dressing. Ooh. Orange dressing? Like the Thousand Island dressing? It is. No, Thousand Island is different. Thousand Island is pink. French dressing is like has an orange tone to it. And it just tastes kind of some, I don't know if it tastes. I mean, I'd put Thousand Islands. Because it's a must.

SPEAKER_01 22:29

It's it a it's a uh mayo based, right?

SPEAKER_04 22:32

It's mayo. I think it's mayo and like I don't know what else is in there, but it's just like that when I think of fish sticks, that's what I want. I don't want tartar sauce, I don't want hot sauce, I don't want any of that stuff.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

I thought of one. I thought of one. And this is nothing to do with food, and this was this is like a trauma, maybe that I well it didn't even happen to me, but I witnessed this happen and it bothered me. Okay, I believe, and this is the hill I'll die on. Okay, a woman needs to be able to throw down. Like throw down what?

SPEAKER_00 22:58

Like oh, fight? Fight. Like this? Like fight. Like, like fight, like get a get away.

SPEAKER_02 23:02

Yeah, I'll tell you, okay, here's what happened. Here's what happened. Here's what happened. So I was dating this girl back when I lived in Massachusetts, right? And I was not there. I this story was real. This is how bad this is that even the story being related to me was enough to like kill it. Uh they went to this thing to get tickets, right? To this other college to get tickets to this uh concert that was going to happen, okay? And my friends were in line, and the girl I'm dating at the time is in line, okay. The girl I'm dating is in line, and these other girls walk up and just like cut her in line like we don't give a fuck. Or like this one girl walked up and cut her in line that we don't give a fuck, and she like let it happen and like cowered. And my friends told me about this, and apparently and I didn't know this until this moment, apparently that I was like, Well, can't have sex with you anymore. Yeah, killed it, killed it.

SPEAKER_01 23:51

I can totally see that. It's an attractive thing when your girl is like, I'm a boss bitch, I can handle myself.

SPEAKER_02 23:58

And then there was this one time I was dating this other girl, and we were at a thing, and I guess like if a if another dude dances my girl, I don't give a fuck because I'm not insecure. I don't get jealous, I'm not that person, I don't care. Like, I assume I'm the best at everything anyway. So she, this dude, I guess he just like wasn't taking her accused, and she punched him like square in the old mouth. And I was like, Well, now I can't stop having I can't stop having sex with you. Like, that's like the hottest thing I've ever seen in my life. Like, I don't know. That that for me is just like, and I feel like there's this like sentiment, and I say it all the time, it's like women like, would you defend me if blah blah blah blah blah? And I'm like, Why aren't you armed and dangerous? Why aren't you armed and dangerous too?

SPEAKER_04 24:42

Yeah, so you you feel like if you're gonna if you're gonna talk the talk, then you should walk the talk.

SPEAKER_02 24:48

Yeah, I I feel like this expectation that like it was funny because you'd see it sometimes with my other friends when we loved north, like something would happen. The girls would look at their man and be like, Aren't you gonna do something? Right. I see and the dude's like, How have I gotten roped into this? Like, why is this?

SPEAKER_04 25:00

On TikTok all the time, or like where someone like the girl will like punch someone and then the other guy will punch her back, and she's just sitting there, like, what the heck? And in the comments, people are like, Yeah, if you're gonna do that, you you better, you better um do something about it. If you're gonna start, if you're gonna start dancing, then you're gonna end the dance.

SPEAKER_02 25:20

I'm just saying there's someone steps to you, like I want you, like, I'm not gonna let someone like you get stomped out, I will step in, obviously. But like, it just starts like I you gotta like be able to like handle yourself.

SPEAKER_01 25:31

I Roy always yells at me because he's like, Janine, if there's ever a f where I need to be in a fight with a man, he's like, please stay out of it because otherwise you will get hurt. And I'm like, hell no, I will go in there, I will bitch. If someone's hurting you, I will go. Hold his arms. Yeah, I will.

SPEAKER_02 25:47

There's no honor. There it is. There's winning and losing. What am I supposed to do?

SPEAKER_01 25:50

Be like the meek child that stands on the sidelines going, oh no, no, that's not gonna be me.

SPEAKER_02 25:55

The winner of the war writes the history books, whatever it takes.

SPEAKER_04 25:59

All right, let's choose another uh another subject to talk about real quick. You have to choose that.

SPEAKER_02 26:10

It's so boring. It's boring, it's boring, it's boring, it's boring, it's boring, it's boring. Let me see what that was. Well, don't put it back in there. This is great. What's a useless skill you possess? This is great. A useless skill I possess. Okay. You mean just like not particularly practical, cannot be monetized.

SPEAKER_01 26:27

Oh, I got one.

SPEAKER_02 26:28

Oh, go ahead.

SPEAKER_01 26:29

I rap. Like you saw this morning.

SPEAKER_02 26:32

She does rap.

SPEAKER_04 26:33

I rap. Is that why there's all these gifts everywhere? Like gifts?

SPEAKER_01 26:37

What do you mean gifts? You rap them. Ha ha ha. I I am a hood rat. I am a 43-year-old white woman who genuinely enjoys dirty, ratchet hip-hop music.

SPEAKER_04 26:50

Well it makes me so. What are the what are some of the uh artists that you used to listen to back in the day?

SPEAKER_01 26:55

Back in the day.

SPEAKER_04 26:56

Or still do.

SPEAKER_01 26:57

Um, I love like Rick Ross. I love Rick Ross. I'm like a big fan. I like Meek Mill. I like Nas.

SPEAKER_04 27:04

I like I like I listen to Nas.

SPEAKER_01 27:07

Little Baby to be recent.

SPEAKER_04 27:09

Good baby. Wu-tang.

SPEAKER_01 27:11

Yes, Wu-Tang, um, um, Buster Rhymes.

SPEAKER_04 27:14

I'm all about Buster Rhymes, which is phenomenal. Outcast is my go-to. Outcast phenomenal. I was just listening to Outcast. I when I was cutting my hair, I was so good. I was listening to Outcast there. Um, it was their second album, ATL Aliens, is what it was called.

SPEAKER_01 27:30

That was good. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 27:31

It was like lyrically, like just the way it made just the way it it feels when you listen to it, it not only is it nostalgic, but it would like it was like such a masterpiece. Like the way they put all the words together, the beats and all those different things.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

Um Kendrick Lamar is awesome too. I don't I I I'm a big fan of Kendrick Lamar.

SPEAKER_02 27:50

As a lyricist, because I was doing I did music too, like I'd have developed an appreciation as a lyricist. It's like, you know, if you just randomly, if you randomly listen to classical music, but you go to a symphony with someone who actually listens to classical music, you're just listening to sound. They're seeing like this whole other dimension to it. So as a lyricist, I see a whole nother dimension to it. And Kendrick Lamar, like, I'll be listening and I'll have to hit pause and be like, how the fuck did you come up with? Like, yeah. How did like so I like my brain tries to go into like the lore of like how you got to that?

SPEAKER_01 28:22

Marijuana.

SPEAKER_04 28:24

Maybe, but like, well, more than a baby, more than likely. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 28:29

Another useless thing on that note is that I uh used to win Sunfest competitions. Remember Sunfest? I don't know. Did you ever go to Sunfest growing up?

SPEAKER_04 28:39

Uh music festival up in West Palm Beach.

SPEAKER_01 28:41

So I in West Palm Beach, because I'm a lip syncer, I can lip sync, as you saw this morning too. I can lip sync very well.

unknown 28:49

Nice.

SPEAKER_01 28:49

I'm a useless, it's a useless talent. I do karaoke, but my two favorites. I do Baby Got Back by Sir Mixelot.

SPEAKER_04 28:57

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 28:58

And I also do Shoop by Salt and Peppa.

SPEAKER_04 29:01

Oh my God. Those are like, those take me like way back.

SPEAKER_01 29:04

Yeah. Yeah. But all hip hop genre. Okay, next. Oh, next.

SPEAKER_02 29:08

So you could have monetized it. It just needed to be monetized like 25 years ago.

SPEAKER_01 29:12

Or I can still do it. And especially as a middle-aged white woman, I feel like that could be a thing.

SPEAKER_02 29:17

So you could be like the cover band at a wedding.

SPEAKER_01 29:19

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 29:19

Okay, okay. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 29:21

You should meet my uh one of my business partners' uh girlfriends. She won like hip-hop um contests and stuff like that from doing like freestyling and all these things.

SPEAKER_01 29:31

Like dancing or freestyling.

SPEAKER_04 29:33

Freestyling.

SPEAKER_01 29:34

Oh my god, I love that. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 29:36

Um, maybe we'll have her on the show one time and then you guys can kind of like do a little battle. Yeah. I love that. I think that would be really cool.

SPEAKER_01 29:44

I'm not creative in actually coming up with the lyrics. I am very good at recreating lyrics that are.

SPEAKER_04 29:53

There was like a name, I can't remember what it was, but she's got like this plaque in her mom's house, and it's like she won like an award for something. That is so badass. That is cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:05

So I can't feel heat. What? That is my most useful useless skill. I can't feel that's why I always wear thermal underwear and jackets everywhere. I can't feel heat. Because you're cold? No, I just can't like I can feel cold. Have you ever like walked into like a I can sweat, but I can't sense that it's hot. Have you put your hand out like over fire? I can sustain damage as a human being, but like if it That's kind of crazy.

SPEAKER_04 30:29

It should have been like a stunt person.

SPEAKER_02 30:31

Yeah, explain this. We'll be at like Dolphins Stadium at 1 p.m. on uh September, and you know those temperatures, and I'm in like I'm in my thermal underwear and my jacket, and everyone's in like, and they're like looking at you just makes me hot. I'm like, I just can't feel heat. That's incredible.

SPEAKER_01 30:46

I mean That is incre that is so as a child, yeah. How did that I mean, how did you figure that out?

SPEAKER_02 30:53

I was bit by a spider that was radioactive. No, I it wasn't I don't know if it was a child. I definitely felt heated as a child, but the the closest thing, and I don't know if this is the reason, but in high school, I got electrocuted by lightning through a metal faucet.

SPEAKER_04 31:06

What?

SPEAKER_02 31:07

Did you really like fucked with my sense of like like I have a numbness that I didn't have before then?

SPEAKER_04 31:14

That's incredible.

SPEAKER_02 31:16

Yeah. So like my pain response is delayed.

SPEAKER_01 31:19

Yeah, like a phenomenon with uh John Travolta type scenario.

SPEAKER_02 31:23

Yeah, yeah. This was like this is well, you've been to my house, but my house was structured completely different at one point. Uh-huh. And through one of the metal faucets in our house, it was there was a hail storm outside, and I was touching the metal faucet, and I got like thrown back into the oven.

unknown 31:39

Holy.

SPEAKER_02 31:40

It was weird. It was like the weirdest thing in the world. Did you get like rushed to the hospital? No, I didn't even really understand what had happened, nor did like my dad and my dad's wife like, what the fuck are you doing? I just remember like my hand flailing being thrown back into the oven. And then the next day I like couldn't lift my arm. It was like the muscles of my like imagine if you worked out super hard past the point of sore where it's like your arms just like toast. It was like that.

SPEAKER_04 32:02

That's incredible. I mean, like the first time I learned about heat was when I put my hand on a on a burner. I remember I was in South American Columbia at my house, and like I just went like I forgot it was my dad or somebody was like, Don't put your hand on there, it's hot. And I was like, of course, I was like, oh whatever, it's not hot. It's like Bart Simpson. Bam! Burnt that thing. I was like missing my fingerprints and everything.

SPEAKER_02 32:25

It's like a level of touch has been denied to me in the sense that like if I was standing, or this happened, like people are throwing a frisbee and it hits me. I don't know that something has hit me.

SPEAKER_04 32:36

So you have like no sensitivity to like mild like sense and of touch doesn't I can't feel it.

SPEAKER_02 32:46

Interesting.

SPEAKER_01 32:47

Same thing with pain.

SPEAKER_02 32:48

I take pain lesser than I think other people might, because when I've been in certain situations that we've gone through the same pain that I haven't like felt it as pain, I'm just like, it's just like I'm just there.

SPEAKER_04 33:01

He's like, my hand's missing.

SPEAKER_03 33:04

He's like, okay with it.

SPEAKER_04 33:08

Alright. Well, I think uh we're coming to our our closing. What about yours? I give us yours. Oh, you want mine? My my thing? Um I don't know. I'm kind of clueless right now. My my superhero power. Oh, I heal really well. Yeah, like I heal like really, really good. Like I've noticed that. Um, like I just got like a mole taken off my back, and it was like a chunk literally taken out. It was like like a hole like this, and like it's already healing. It's almost getting really good. So, like anytime I cut myself or I bruise myself or anything like that, like I tend to just regenerate. I regenerate really well. That is cool. It's like my superhero power. Wow. Um because I can't heal.

SPEAKER_02 33:57

I heal. Well, I mean, you should kind of I have something called keloid where like my skin can't make new skin, it can only make scar tissue. So if I get a mosquito bite, I get a scar for like 12 years. Do you really?

SPEAKER_04 34:08

Really? That's crazy. No, not me. I mean, I have scars. Like I have scars from like falling when I was younger. Like I have a scar here, I have a scar here. Like, eventually, like if they're like really, really deep, but but they like kind of like they kind of go away after a while.

SPEAKER_02 34:23

Anything will turn into a 10-year scar. Anything. That's nuts.

SPEAKER_04 34:28
