Speaker 1 (02:21):
Right back, yes and be careful. Okay, hyvo. How long
does re entry take? We talk a lot about this
in our big show that's already going to be out.
I don't know, and I worry for my husband for
this because I typically say, when I do a vacation
right after this season, it takes me about three days
to unwind on the vacation, like I'm still like fucking annoying, anxious,

(02:45):
like crazy. I need a good three days before the
vacation starts to chill the fuck out. It's usually like
right before we're headed home, I'm like, oh my god,
now I finally am unwinded. I don't want to leave,
and I'm gonna bitch the whole fucking time. So I
don't know. I don't know how long this is going
to take, but I better get going here. Last night,

(03:06):
it was already like on him about something. He said something,
and I go, you know what, can't I just have
a break? I walk in the dog with a savvyon blanc. Bitch,
sh it, ain't that bad?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
God? The next anonymous question is going to say wife
won't sign divorce paper. She's a real bitch. Help country
number twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Hey dad, giveaway Jared God on the headlines. I can
already see him now or.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Knock it off. They're busy. I need to also lower
my boys. I mean, I just oh god, yeah, you
can't start to Steve. The reason we're laughing is because
part of the re entry is about how loud Steve is.
So am I anonymous. I have a hard time making
friends with other moms at my son's school as a
lifetime tomboy. Any tips, I need friends all? First of all,

(04:10):
where are your friends?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
So yeah, we'll be there. I'll I'll sign back up
because I have a feeling I won't have any friends
where he goes either. I can't take some of this
shenanigan and.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Also fucking fire right now and making notes.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
I also realize a lot of these women are going
to be younger than me. Gonna be they are younger
than me. I'm like one hundred and twenty with a
nineteen month old cute that'll be adorable when he's in college.
Here's my mom, she's on life support.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Any who, Oh my god, I don't know this. We're
gonna do not This worries me a lot about I
don't know. I need to get Taylor Swift's pop tart
recipe to get friends.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
By the way, did I send you we Crispy Sweating?
I've been like edges are so crispy and perfect of
her pop tarts. No, but the fact that she's making
this always all roads lead back to Taylor Swip. She's
on a world tour, selling out Wembley Stadium nineteen nights
in a row, and she's making pop tarts for christ

(05:16):
Jong Annie Reads and for the entire Kansas City Chiefs team.
And all we're doing is covering her boyfriend and acting
like we can't even walk the dog. You how tired
we are. We are so tired, we have bed. Did
you not see that we were on TV five minutes ago?
You just go fucking deal with this. Okay, deal with
us in February when it's over. Well, now it's finally over.

(05:36):
She's making pop tarts during all of that, and we
can't even I can't clothes off the floor. God, Okay,
I'm gonna help. I'm gonna help our new friend out here. Anonymous. Yes,
I don't have children, this just in but I think
the best way for you to look at this is
that you don't want to be friends with anybody that

(05:57):
you have to try to sell yourself to, Like you
don't want to have to go out there and like,
you know, try to solicit friendships. I think that for you,
it's probably just stay authentic to who you are, and
if there's no one that's like minded like you, then
that's fine. You don't have to be friends with the
friends of you know, your some school. Go in, maybe
be a room mom and like help out with the

(06:18):
other kids, or help with the teacher, or like feel
like you're participating that way. I'm not sure what the
room mom does, but it sounds like something that's nice
and you could maybe do that if your schedule allows.
But yeah, I would say, like, don't don't feel like
you have to try to go out of your way
to sell yourself to somebody, and that you should be
friends with people who want to be friends with you authentically.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I'm going to say it to my gym classes, Like
sometimes I feel like I'm off by myself because all
the moms I like together and I'm just like flown
in for a minute, you know, but when they talk
to me, it's like, really cool. Hey, guys, what's up.
It's so true. I'm like such a loner. I'ms a loner.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
No, that's fine, everything's fine. Mary Linda eleven o two,
which we got read it? Girl?

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Tell us the flight attendant story from last week. I
don't remember last week.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Oh I know, I know Miller Lindall did I? I said,
Miler Linda? How did it's Miller Linda? So I hope
this makes Miller light or maybe miller's your last name.
In my brain's just going to an alcoholic beverage. But
Miller Linda eleven o two. I'm sorry for the you know,
brain fart there. The flight attendant story from last week,

(07:32):
it was probably from a couple of weeks ago. Steve
re Entry, get in here, Steve. I didn't know that
he was around the court. Or are you waiting to
go up the stairs because you don't want to get
in the shot.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
He's gotten in the shot already.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh you're already upstairs. You're just making noise and Steve
I'm still working. Okay, this is.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
He's so great.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
The flight attendant story. Oh, so from a couple of
weeks ago. I'm headed out to Philadelphia for the NFC Championship.
What's happening?

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (08:16):
What happened? Okay, so the flight attendant.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
No one loves flight attendants more than Aaron and I.
I don't know how many yesterday, Oh my god, especially Tammy.
We love Tammy. Nobody loves flight attendants more than Aaron
and I. Seriously, we appreciate that they're there for our safety.
They are not waitresses in the sky. I get it. Okay. However, however,

(08:41):
if everything is safe on the plane, part of the
purchase of a first class seat is to remember this,
get a beverage sometimes before the plane takes off, if
the time allows, but if nothing else, it's to be
offered a beverage, Like even when they say, and I've
spent plenty of time in coach, so I know that

(09:02):
even when the peasants me back there in coach for
all the years, doesn't don't get a beverage. The royalty
in the first class section do because they paid the
extra money for the seat. No problem. I am totally
understanding of that. The flight, it's not a long flight,
it's one of those quick little hour flights whatever, So
there's not full service. Hey, no problem, I'm in the last.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
You're coming from d C. Yes, you're from DC to Philly. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
So I'm in the last row of the first class section,
so I see the delivery to the first three rows. Okay,
and I'm thinking, oh, okay. Then a little time goes
by and she disappears, and I'm thinking, she's got to
come back soon. I mean, we're on our descent, Like literally,
the captain has made the announcement. We are on our descent.
The feeling and the stomach goes. We're putting things away,

(09:50):
trade tables are up, laptop is stowed, We're going. We're
literally we're on.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Our way down here.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
She wanders back. She's now collecting the cups from the
first rose, and I'm thinking to myself, I didn't even
get off her a drink. So she comes over and
she's looking to see if there's any cups and I go,
can I get a drink? She goes, no, No, the
service is over. I go, you never even came back here,
and she was like, big sigh, What do you want?
I said, well, I'd like a glass of red wine.

(10:17):
And then I say to my seat mate, maybe he
would like something. What would you like, sir, I'll just
take a water. Thanks, okay, she comes, goes back up,
She comes back, stands there, gives me the cup, and
she goes, you've got four minutes. Four minutes. I was like, well,
first of all, now I'm going to drink this thing
in fucking thirty seconds. I went like this, She her
with it.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Good time.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
By the way, don't tempt me. Yeah, you don't have
to challenge me to chug anything. And now, out of spite,
you don't even have to move, sweetheart, let me just
chug this for you. I went, goo goo goo? Is
that Taylor?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
I swift on the.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Four sea handed it back to her and I said, there,
that should save you some time.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
It's rude. It's rude behavior. And I will applaud, applaud
all the efforts of any service person. As a former
service person myself, I've talked about it a million times.
I've been a waitress, been a hostess, ben a barcher,
all the things. No, I haven't been a flight attendant,
and I have a lot of sympathy for all the
things you guys have to deal with. But there was
no reason that sex Row four was not allowed to

(11:18):
have a beverage. So how about forget the four minutes.
You forgot roe four So now chug it up and
move it on, sister. I mean, and it was not
my preferred airline, and I think that is really what
it comes down to. It wasn't my preferred airline, and
that's why I only fly Delta.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
I love concierge, Key, I love American. That's where I am.
I get you. I'm just pledging my allegiance. I know no,
I know it's neither, but I was neither shout out.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, I'm sorry, you got four minutes. I'll make this
real easy for a sweetheart. I'm done in four seconds.
That should save you. Sometimes. I'm sorry it was rude.
Oh shit, I forgot that. We're just that we're doing
free games. Pre game's over, okay, Anonymous?

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Am I crazy to get on a nine hour flight
to go see a guy I met on vak psidenting
about three times? Well, just make sure on that nine
hour flight you're getting food and beverage service.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Oh well, if it's on the airline we were not
talking about, then she's not going to get it until
eight hours and thirty minutes into this thing.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I don't know I'm in a mood right now, fucking
go for it. So what I have a time?

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Just go now.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Don't talk to me during football because I'm a very
very boring, bossy bitch. But right now I like this.
Do it off. See what happens off? Airy? Yeah, trashy,
that's not true season.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Aaron's on fucking fire right now. I seriously sure. I
love when you say that. It's such a dismissive thing
to say. Ever, and someone says something to you like, oh,
what would you like to eat? Sure? Just say sure
to anything. It's so funny. Sure, Okay, Anonymous? Am I
crazy to get out a nine hour flight?

Speaker 3 (13:18):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:19):
But this is my problem. This is where I end up.
You know you have to pay alimony. I'm just out
here going sure. Sure, Sure, I would say this if
you are. I'm with Aaron. You only live once. Okay, Yeah,
go ahead and do it. But I will say make
sure that he is paying for that nine hour flight,
because I'm at the point in my life where I'm

(13:40):
done paying my way to things, because I too many
times have tried to be like I'm independent, I can
pay for myself. No, if this guy wants me to
come meet him on a vacation that's nine hours away.
He can pay for the flight, because I don't need
to look like desperate Betty and get on a flight
and fly nine hours to meet this guy if he's
not being able to take it.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
No, that's a good point. I'm proud of you for
saying that.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
I am right. I'm done with that. So make him
baith and meet him anywhere on the moon. Okay, Chris O'Neill,
Ryan hit it. What is your favorite must have Super
Bowl party food? Well, the pimento cheese and the four seasons,
so good, fantass.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Seventy five chicken fingers on Sunday and it wasn't enough.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
I love a seven layer dip. I don't know that's
a Super Bowl thing, but I love any kind of
dip thing because then throughout the game, just dip dip, dip,
dip dip with the boys. When we were watching the
game at the green room the stadium, a lot of
there was a lot of chicken fingers, a lot of
French fries, just any sort of like feel good food.
But yeah, a dip dip dip is good as well.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
And this is a long anonymous I recently got married,
and my man of honor completely dropped the ball. She's
she's been in a bad relationship for two years. A
month before my wedding, they broke up and she told
me to remove him from the guest list. Fast forward,
immediately after the ceremony, she came up to me and
told me there was a problem and that he showed up.

(15:02):
I calmly and nicely said I'm sorry, there's no space,
and walked away. She never apologized or said anything or
tried to resume our friendship as normal. I finally confronted
her post honeymoon, and she gave me a half ass apology.
Since then, we've barely talked and she's still on and
off with the guy. She reached out again and wants
to meet up, but I feel like the friendship can't
continue if she's still with the guy. Hell, first of all,

(15:25):
how dares she bring this shit to your wedding? Like
she's not in a good headspace right now, and I
feel like that's unfair to take it on on your
biggest day. She needs a little time.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Out good, she needs some time on the stairs, she
needs a talking to on the stairs. I would say, yeah,
she's not a good headspace. Hey, look, I'm just gonna
say this, and to the friends in my life, starting
with you, we've talked about this. I have been in
some real places in my life.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Dark keep shunning.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
I've been in a lot of different places. Okay, where's Waldo.
Now that I feel like live on the other side
of this, I can look at this situation from the
other friend's vantage point and be like, Hey, she's obviously
really like this guy. She's protecting the guy. She's going
to make excuses for this guy all the time. And
what she is going to realize very soon is she's

(16:23):
going to lose you as a best friend if she
doesn't realize what's important. Like, I don't know. I just
think that you need to have an honest conversation with her.
Because I've said this before and I'll say it again.
I would have stayed in a very bad relationship so
much longer if Aaron didn't give me an ultimatum was
she's like, I can't be friends with you if you're
with that person. And she was so right, and she

(16:46):
was the one that gave me the kick in the
ass that nobody else would because no one wanted to
say anything to me because they didn't want to upset me.
So I think the honest conversation is pivotal to your friendship.
And if she goes that way with him, sorry, then
it's what it is. But you don't need to be
This is what Aaron and I we have a model
with friendship. If it's really hard, it's not a good friendship.

(17:08):
You shouldn't have to work so hard at friendships. So
keep us posted on this, But remember that she it's
her own life and the decision she makes. She's gonna
have to live with those decisions and just be honest
that you were disappointed and she doesn't receive that, well,
then maybe she's not the same friend that you thought
she was. And that's okay too.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
She's gonna come around. She's just in a really bad
place and unfortunately she's gonna have to go through it
to figure it out. Like if this is your person,
she will figure it out, but she may have to
like go through some shit.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
And keep us posting. Guys, we've got a downtime. You know,
the season's over. The calm down, commuting Bill Blood the inbox. Okay,
we might take this show to two days a week.
The plus ones occupying our microphone one of the days,
and I Love.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
You, Gaal.
