Episode Transcript
It's time for Nina's what's trending? What do you call
your partner? Do you have a nickname for them? Because
apparently there's one nickname that's being used more than any other,
And I'm so glad we had science to tell us
what it is, because okay, captain obvious, anybody want to
take a guess? Oh? I thought that was the name?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Um, honey bun No, sweet bum bums, sweetie.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Oh yeah, everybody's walking around sweet bum bum cheek? Yeah, here,
can you get me a nap kid?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Sweet would love to hear that a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
No, this is actually very anti climactic, but babe is
the most popular pet name for a couple that was
very anti climb. I was expecting like this big word
like cute, lovey. No, it's it's babe, Babe, Babe, Babe, babe,
babe babe. Yeah, babe, followed by honey, followed by baby, sweetheart,
and then love. I know, right, Like, don't you want
(00:57):
to personalize your nicknames for your booth?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I mean, yeah, I like a good personal nickname.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
You. That's a good personal one, ress his daddy. Why
is it any different than calling your partner a baby? Oh?
You know, that's fine. That's that happens when people refer
to themselves as my daddy because I have a daddy.
You're not supposed to know. You're supposed it's supposed to be.
(01:22):
You don't tell someone to call you that. Oh well,
that's how it's been in my experience. Daddy'll buy you
a new pair. No, I have a daddy.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
If anybody says that, like on purpose, if you're joking
around like Daddy's gonna buy a new pair, and then
they go shut up, all right, that's fine. But if
you actually mean it when you say that, that's a
big red flash.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You totally invented. I lost an earring. I was devastated,
and he was just trying to make me feel better.
He's like, it's okay, Daddy'll buy you a new pair.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Like, are you sure if you checked his bank account
really want.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
To do that? I was like, yourself, okay, did they
call you or something?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Dad hated you?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Weird? My dad's very disappointed. Kind of on the same topic,
brace yourself. It's tarantula mating season. Tarantulas are out here
screaming for their babe, trying to find their mate. But
real talk, if you're hiking or camping in the southwest
(02:26):
and west regions of the country, specifically like California, Colorado, Kansas,
New Mexico, and of course Texas, you may be seeing
swarms of tarantulas crossing the street.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It's like a bad joe. Are charantelas it's been a
long time they seeing a spider?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Are they venomous? Like? They can't? They can't.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It's hard for them to bite, but they can. They
just have the small mouths, so it's hard for them
to buy. But they do have venoms, so most people
don't get bit by them. But they can't bite you.
You know, it's a good question. I don't really know
something actually, if there's all mouths you can only if
they could, though, if they'd be very I think they'd
be very poisonous if their mouths were big enough. That
(03:06):
must be very frustrating for them.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Well, must be frustrating. How have they made.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Whoa what does that question?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Now? But I'm serious, like that's what the whole purpose
of them just crawling all over the places. They're coming
out of hibernation to look for females.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
To be careful if you hold them, because the hair
can get stuck in you and that that'll cause like
a reaction on your scan. And know that really I
didn't known it can poke into you. It's very coarse hair.
They have coarse hair and small mouse. That's what.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Don't you want to know that, babe,
