Speaker 1 (00:00):

iHeart women's sports production in partnership with Deep Blue Sports
and Entertainment. You can find us on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Welcome back to Quiet Please Here Here, Mel here.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
We are almost done through the year.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
We only have a couple of episodes left of the pod,
which is kind of crazy.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
How's your weekend? Well, wee cam is good.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
We actually went to if you ever Actually, I don't
know if you've heard of this, so in Augustine, which
is like forty five minutes south of us. Don't crimine
this it's like the oldest town in America.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
I don't know. I don't have any yeah, okay data
to refute your claims.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
So there's something historic about it. It's something like that.
It's really cute. We've been a few times. We probably
haven't been as much as we should have done living
here but in Jacksonville. But two of our friends, really
good friends, rein Tie came up and we're spending the
weekend there. So we went and met them on Friday,
and they do like this, like the renowned for their
Christmas lights, so it's unbelievable, like they have my face

(01:18):
now and it's really cute and pretty. So we went
there on Friday for a few drinks to see them,
and then yesterday we had a going away party because
obviously this is the one of the last weekends that
we're going to be in Jacksonville. So we had a
bunch of friends over a bunch of kids. It was
absolutely chaotic. Not too many things were broken, and Carli

(01:41):
kicked away at eight o'clock because that's how she rules.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Love that for her.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
So yeah, Carli kicked every one out eight because that's
that's what she does.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
So how's your weekend, Kira? It was good. I also
had a party yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
We had a holiday housewarming party, and my dad was
really upset that we didn't have a housewaring party in
our last house because we bought it right in the
middle of COVID and it was like two years later
and when are we gonna, I don't know. It just
felt weird to have a party once everybody was actually
able to be in the same space. So this time

(02:19):
around he was very passionate. Kira, housewarming party, you know really,
so he sounds like still yeah, oh, yeah, I mean
he speaks perfect.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
English in a very very thick Russian accent. Okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
After everything, so we finally had a housewarming party slash
party for George. Loved it, but it was a bit
tough because so I flew to Jacksonville actually for TBC
Sawgrass last week for an event for a partner, and

(02:55):
I flew there, did the event, flew right back, so
I was only there for the thirty six hours.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
It was a pretty brutal travel day.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Got home at like two in the morning, and we
decided that it would be a good idea not to
have this party for sixty people catered or anything like that.
Like my mom and I just cooked everything and just
did all the setup.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
And that meant I.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Had to go to Costco and I was it's that
time of the month. So I literally had a full
crying breakdown next to the tequila section.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
It's my time of the month. As what I was saying,
Oh look at us, we're saying.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Anyway, not that anyone needed to know that, but.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Now you don't know. I think it's kind of nice.
He was cute. Yeah, it was cute, but yeah, so
I had breaked out of Costco.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
We I didn't get the things that I needed to get,
so I had to go back the next day. It
was stressful. It was a stressful weekend, but we had
a great party. It was lovely and fun and it
was nice to see everybody in our new house.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
And it's mostly done.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
I was about to say, how far are ye?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
We're still waiting on dining room chairs and a little
couch for our front living room. We ordered those things
three months ago. So cool.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Do you know what I'm going to be in your
boat in a couple of months anyway? Yeah, well, yeah,
so I'll look forward to that. Why does it take
so long for things to get here? The world? Okay, fair?
The world is a place these days. Yeah, it really is.
So last week we did not, admittedly talk a lot.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
About golf, so we will be bringing you some golf
content today. Before we get to that, we have a
very exciting announcement. So for the first time ever, I'm
so dramatic. We are val Do you want to do
the honors?

Speaker 3 (04:49):
What are we doing?

Speaker 4 (04:50):
We are launching our own merch because that's where we
feel out. The collection isn't too big, but it's a
sweater or jumper, as I would say, and a hat
that me and you, especially you has been paying a lot,
a lot of your attention to and we've we've been
talking about for a while. So it's finally coming into fuition,
which we're very excited about. And we're going to do

(05:13):
pre sales when this episode comes out.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Correct, Yes, so Wednesday today you're listening, that is December seventeenth.
We are opening up pre sales on this very limited
line of merch. We have one hundred crew necks crew
next and one hundred hats. It's very chic, very just

(05:35):
like so upscale, just like us. You will all look
so cool in your merch, your a rocket and everybody's
can be like, oh my god, what is that?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
So the crew neck is like.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
A dark pine green oversized crew neck and it has
in like a cream script embroidered on the top left
quiet police in that cursivy country club part.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
And then the hat is two tone. It's a white
top with the.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Green bill and in green in our color green. It
has quiet pleas in that same country club script. So
we're only doing one hundred units of each, so we
are this is going to be a huge test. We're
gonna see either people love us I want to buy
our stuff either okay.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
We either sell it out and we're like, oh shit,
we've actually just done. We're potentially doing something quite cool
here and hopefully people do love the merch because we
have spent a bit of time on it, or nobody
wants it and we sell fuck all of it and
then we'll just write our cheers everyone and we'll probably
just run another one anyway just to see.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Well, we'll just send it out to everyone.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Actually no, buy it so that we can get cooler stuff,
but worst comes to worst, we'll just send it out
for three.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
But yeah, no, it's exciting.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
I've listened. I love a bit of merch and I
love a hat. I love a new hat. So he's
excited to get some swag as well.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
So finally going to get something out of the deals exactly.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
So yeah, it's exciting, isn't it. I think you know,
it's not easy doing a podcast. Obviously, We've got an
amazing tcene behind us and everything. It's it's been almost
a year and with us on the schedules that we're
on and you know, we don't do it in person.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
It is mad. It has been a bit.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Actually, it's so crazy. It's crazy that we've been able
to keep this up for a year.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Especially me, literally, especially me.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
It's big, it's it's an accomplishment for sure. When we
started this, we didn't know where it was going to go.
And it's a huge time commitment, you know. Obviously we
sit down for an hour a week, but there's all
the prep behind it and all the other stuff that
we want to do in coordinating to crazy schedules. So
we're super grateful that everyone's been listening and supporting, and
we hope you buy our merch, so please sum much.

(07:54):
Pre sales open on December seventeenth. The reason we have
to do a pre sale is because, as we mentioned
with the furniture, it takes forever to get anything, so
we were.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
We're helping that. Whatever. That's a whole long story.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
But sign up to buy on the seventeen, reserve your
merch and it.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Will come when it comes.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
But yeah, yeah, and when you get it, we want pictures,
lots and lots of pictures, so much content. Yes, lots
and lots of pictures. Ye, it's very exciting, very exciting,
big moment.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
M H. All right, you want to talk about.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
All right, Well, it's quite a stressful time of year
for a lot of players.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Actually, I'm going to go into ad a minute.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
So first of all, it was Grant Thoughton this week,
which is a mixed team event. I was very fortunate
that Grant thought was one of my sponsors for a
few years and was able to play in that event
kind of the first two years that it was on
the on the schedule. It's a really fun event at
the end of the year, PJ Tour and LPG come together,
combined both tours, and it's just a really cool concept.

(09:10):
I know that the PJ Tour guys love playing with us.
We love playing with the PJ Tour guys. It's a
bit of a different mix, a bit of a different feel,
a little bit more lighthearted than a regular event. But
Grant Thorpe and do a fantastic job. It's played at Tibron,
which is where CM is played, and it's just a
really fun format. And like I said, it's kind of
at the time of year where you want a little

(09:31):
bit of a fun format. Middle of December, you're just
starting to wind down. So the winners were Andrew Novak
and Lauren Cocklan, who I'm a big fan of Lauren.
She's had a little bit of a slower start this
year to lash it or slower season I should say
to last year. But that'd be nice for them to
to get them that win. And it's supposed to when
as Andrew's a dad, I think, oh, yeah, thank you.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
A little bed bear came on eighteenth and it was
really cute.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
So yeah, like it's just a fun event. Whenever the
the mixed event, I always think that it's just a
bit of a shift in energy and a bit of
shift in you know, regular golf season.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
So that was that, and then as I was getting
to end.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Of season here, it's a bit stressful for a lot
of players because it's Q School and Q Series and
it's fucking awful is probably the word best way I
can describe it.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
It's very stressful. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
So on the LPGA, twenty five players get their card.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Is that right? Yep? Okay.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
So some of the names that stood out from the
top twenty five names that made it well, Helen bream
Is was the winner of Q School.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
She's like a six foot.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Three German phenom. She's going to be a menace on
the LPGA. That word, Oh thank you, good word. Oh
we're yeah, we're expanding though, cab Ryan O'Toole.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, okay, no no, no no no no, I got
let me just get Ryan has been on Talk for
like eleven years. But this is golf.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Last year, so twenty twenty four season she almost won
a couple of times, had a stellar season, was in
seeing me and then this year does not have the
season that she was expecting. And that is golf and
had to go back to Q school after like what
twelve years. It's a fair play to Ryan. She got
a talk card back one of the older players on tour.
Now she's gonna be thirty nine next year, so hey,
you've got to give people credit that he you know,

(11:36):
at that age when you know she still obviously believes
that she can compete at the highest level, and you've
got to respect the hell out of that. And she
got the job done. She said to go there and
get the job done. So yeah, it's it's weird, and
you're gonna name some more players like Perin Dela corp
As someone else has stood out to me, Mordemine Lebron,
who's been on Talk for Donkeys' years as well. So
I always quite enjoy looking at Q School and Q

(11:58):
series and seeing who has basically not been at Q
School for ages, but then go back and get that.
I think it's in respect Jody Ewett, Yeah, exactly. She's
never had to go back to Q School in like
the fifteen years she's been on tour. That's crazy, and
I have mad respect for that because one like the
ego thing for sure, and two the older you get,

(12:19):
you know, it is a little bit trickier, it is tougher,
and they have everything to lose in a way, whereas
if you're just a rookie, you just come out of college,
you just kind of join, you know, you go into
Q School thinking, well, it doesn't matter if I really
make it this year, I'll go next year in the
year after, and I have time on my side, whereas
a lot of these players don't.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
So mad respect for the older girls or the more veteran.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Players that go back to Q School grind their ass
off and get it done, because it's a really stressful week,
especially for them.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
More so than the more so than like rookies.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah, the rookies are just trying to come out and
prove themselves no matter what. And gosh, I can't imagine,
you know, you find yourself in a really established place
as a player and then all of a sudden, your
entire world world could be ripped away.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Yeah, well that's golf in it.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
That's why golf is so brutal, is that you literally
it's not it's not like an NFL player or even
a w NBA player, where you get a contract for
a certain amount of years or you.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Know, at least two three years.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Golf is literally unless you win, is a one year
contract basically, and even then you can get filtered out
mid season. So it's just a brutal, brutal sport. It's
you've got to be on your game twenty four to seven,
and it's just it's real hard, very hard.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Hanako Shabuno was the last player in She's a major champion.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
And double jointed and double jointed fun fact.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
And then you had names like really established amateur college
players that were just so stand out, like Gianna Clement
and a Mari Avery they did not make it. Yeah,
and like Jung only six major champion, she did not
make it. And you know, a whole group of really

(13:59):
really really talented people that have lost their work cards
or didn't get the opportunity to have a tour card.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
So yeah, it's crazy out there.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
It's a funny, it's a funny, funny little week. It's yeah,
I was quite surprised by a couple, but like I said, Amari,
and come on, they're so young that they yeah, ample
amount of time.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
I feel that they'll be disappointed right now.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
But what it would be just storytelling around it. What
do you mean, well, I mean there's I noticed a
lot of chatter online about how you know, obviously this
is something that they're working on and to help improve
telling some of the stories of the folks that are
just coming up.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
You know, some of those names we've heard a lot,
but some of them I've never heard of.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
So I would love to see next Q School, maybe
the LPGA can do some sort of special series around
some not everybody, but just to introduce the audience to
some of these players. And I hope that they will
now that they do have their set twenty five players
that made it through Q School, that you can really
get to know them and start building that relationship with

(15:05):
the audience, because that's how you get people to actually
tune in to watch because they feel like they're connected
to whoever it might be.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Yeah, and this is like I feel like H school
should be televised quite a lot. I don't know, I
feel like it's pretty It's one of the most dramatic
events that you'll ever see, like people are literally fighting
for their job. And yeah, obviously it's really it's amazing
watching majors and stuff.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Of course it is.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
I'm not I'm not kind of saying to compare it,
but I just think it'd be really interesting to have
that on TV and watched you know, the heartbreak and
then yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Like it's heartbreaking, but it's
also very euphoric as well, Like it's in two extremes
of emotion. You're either absolutely buzzing at the end of
the week or you are devastated, like questioning everything. So I, well,

(15:55):
why am I here to question everything?

Speaker 3 (15:58):
When I made it? Really?

Speaker 4 (15:59):
Have I've done that again? Do I really to put
myself through this again? But yeah, it's just I think
it's I just I think it's one of the most
brutal weeks in US sports, So it would be fun
to watch.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
So for the PGA Tour, speaking of brutal.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
They have five players that make it through final stage
of Q School, which is really insane to me. So
good on the LPGA for I think twenty five people
make it through, so since they were only five, we
can mention all of them. Aj Ewert, he's only had
two starts on the PGA tours.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Is his first card. It's Canadian.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
He's never made a start on the corn Ferry Tour,
so he's kind of just gone straight past, skip the
line and gone straight past to the PGA Tour.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
So good for him.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Adam Spenson, he has been on tour for a long time.
Actually did his winner interview the first time he won,
maybe the only time he won at the RSIM Classic
A few I think. Nice guy, also Canadian, Alejandro Toasty.
I'm so glad this guy's back.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
What a name that is, by the way, Yeah, I
love that name.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
He is speaking of menace.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
He's the type of guy to like, you know, throw
a club in a lake or get to get into
a verbal spat with somebody. It just keeps things interesting.
He's the guy that you want around. He's got some
of that Patrick Reid energy.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
We love.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
So glad that you're you're here again, toasty. Marcelo Roso
is thirty six years old. He's been playing professionally for
fourteen years. This is his first time holding a PGA
Tour card, so he's kind of like a lifelong grinder type,
So congratulations to him. And Dylan Wu who has been

(17:56):
in and out on the PGA Tour and really talented
gay so he's going to be back.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
I just think it's crazy there's only five cards. I know.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
You know who just missed out by one shot was
Camilla Vijegis. Oh he had like five feet for a
part to make it and missed it.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Well, yeah, it sucks. Oh it's brutal. It's brutal, and
it makes your hurt hurt a little bit. I know.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
I know it's tough though, and like this is what
I've always said, getting your talk.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
I've always felt like getting your talk card is, in
a weird way, the easiest bit. Like people think, all right,
I'm on tour and I've done it. I've made it. Yes,
you have to a certain degree, of course you have.
You've made it into the top, you know, point not
not one percent they've ever been able to do that.
But the hardest part now is keeping your card keep
It is a whole different board game now, Like you're

(18:57):
going to courses for the first time, Like you travel
a lot of these players, so you know, not everybody,
but a lot of these you know, younger players are
coming out of college where everything was kind of done
for them. Now they're having to figure it out on
their own. You know, you don't have a team around
you anymore. That you've got to create your own team.
You're going to different venues in different kind of cities
all the time, and this country it's expensive as hell.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
You have the money to keep your tour card.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just now, this is the
real this is going to be the real test now,
as I've always said, is to keep your tool card
after getting your talk card.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah yeah, So we'll see.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
You know, this guy Aja, you are, you know, amazing,
But like he said, he's never he's never, He's only
played two PGA Tour events.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
He hasn't seen.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Most of the tour venues. So he's gonna just spend
so much energy getting to know them, getting used to them.
And the same thing with the guy that's thirty six
years old, that I think Marcelo Rosa was his name,
that has been doing this forever. You know, does that
help him in a way that he understands the grind
of it, but also he this is a whole different

(19:59):
stage that he's not to as well, and he's a
little bit older and that comes with its whole name.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
So yeah, but well done to one that did it.
Fair play. It's a brutal, real week. Well done.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
So on the opposite end of the golf spectrum, the
PGA Tour announced today that Scotti Scheffler, nineteen time PGA
Tour winner who won six times in twenty twenty five,
has been named the twenty twenty five PGA Tour Player
of the Year, and Aldrich Potteater of the South African

(20:32):
is the Rookie of the Year. He won on tour
this year as well, had a great year. So there
was a lot of debate should Scotti or Rory be
the Player of the year, And it seems like the
powers that be have decided that it's Scotty.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
I think it should have been Rory.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Oh well, I think if you win, you win Masters,
Grand Slam, the Players and the Masters in the same year.
First of all, I don't know. I just think what
he's done, Like he won the DP World. I know
that's completely different, but still he still won that money.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
I don't know. I just feel like Rory deserved it.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
I feel like it's the best season he's ever had
from a consistency standpoint. He's obviously had great seasons, but
this one, for me really like shined in a sense
of the consistency of his game, and so I feel.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
Like he should have won it. But so it is
voted on by the players, and the other.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Candidates were Tommy Fleetwood, Ben Griffin, and Rory McElroy. I
just feel like it's hard to get past the volume
of winning, the dominance of winning that Scotty.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Did. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
I mean, Rory had these super high highs and that
is obviously going to dominate any conversation.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
But I can understand why it's Scotty.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
I probably would have no, I agree, voted for Scotty
if I was in that position, but with you know,
my head says Scotty, but my heart says Rory.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
That's that type of feeling about it.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
No, I get it, two great players, two great players,
You're still a wrong I'm like yeah, you tell you wrong.
But yeah, now it's off season. It's like the tiniest
little break that as golfers get is over the Christmas period.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, but they still find ways to keep themselves busy.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
They there's this Golf Channel Games thing coming up, there's
the PNC, there's a bunch of lead up now to TGL.
That's kind of going to be the first time we
see a large swath of the players back in some
sort of competitive environment. I haven't seen a ton of

(22:41):
social around most teams except for Rory's team, the Boston Common.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
That's that what they're called Common Golf. That's what is
it done?

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Wow, you pulled that right out. You're offslan, didn't you?
Well done? This is problematic.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
I was about to say you need to get a life.
I was like, no, idea, what you're talking about? So
you need to get a live?

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Well tell you that is quite bad.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
That is actually really embarrassing. That is actually you need
to have a word with yourself. You know every single
bit of golf knowledge.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Ever, Yeah, tuned into this show.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
They know that they can get all the information.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah oh yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Mean I don't know.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
I always took it I definitely took a few weeks
off in my my off season. Four weeks a few well. Actually,
when I was younger, I not really enjoy off seasons.
I used to not really take an off season, and
then as I got older, I was like it got
to the point I was like, oh, I've got pick
up a golf club in a week.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
I was like six more days, Yeah, yeah, how do
you get yourself excited to do that? Again?

Speaker 4 (23:51):
I probably didn't towards the end, if I'm honest, I
had to just mentally just prepare myself. And I also
feel like because I took probably four weeks off not
picking up a golf club, I would train like I
would I would probably take two weeks off of not
doing anything, and then I would train really hard. Like
that's when I feel like a lot of players reset
their body and then build it up again. So I

(24:12):
would like lift super heavy in the winter so that
I had a really solid base for the season. I
enjoyed that. I used to love doing that, getting really strong. Well,
I used to get I used to get Yeah. I
used to let myself go a bit in them two weeks,
eat and drink what I wanted, and then I get
back in shape, which I really enjoyed. But the actual
physically thought of playing golf towards the end of my.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Career was it was not.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
Easy because as well, because I hadn't hit balls for
like four or five weeks, I would be absolutely dog
shit for like four days. It to be good, three
or four days of solid grinding to find the middle
of the face again.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
And I used to hate that I couldn't hit a
barn door.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Connet a barn door cont a barn door, So that
wasn't great for my ego.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
So I used to hate that.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Travel like I couldn't believe how shit I'd got having
four weeks off.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
That's crazy. Like now I don't care.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
I expect myself to be ship because I don't practice anymore.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Play. No, you told me you played really well. I
played alright the other day.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
I know. I think it's because my expectations are so low.
But when you're still playing competively, they're quite Oh.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, well, when your whole livelihood depends on it, that's
exactly a different thing.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yeah, that's sakah. Yeah, Well we're.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
All a bit psycho that play all right, just a
little bit, just a little bit.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
So that was your golf corner.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yes, now people like get away from the golf.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
What else can we talk about Colorado? Yes, because it's
on a house. Is the guy calling you today?

Speaker 4 (25:53):
No, so I told her before coming on here, I said,
and we've just had to Well, we've got the why
to why the money for the house that we're closing
on tomorrow. I said, I might have to have a
two minute step away and have a phone call. But
apparently it's electronic and I can't. I can't figure it out.
So I tried to do it at the start and
I can't do it. So I'll have to do it
when I get off this podcast.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
No, I don't know what to do. I stress me out. Okay,
if you're stressed out, then we can pass.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
No no, no, no, no no, because it will take
ages me to figure out because it's it's technology and
I'm not very good with it. Okay, But anyway, we
close in a house tomorrow. My car will be arriving tomorrow, hopefully,
good trick ship my car and I put an air
tag in it.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Oh you know exactly where it is. If somebody tries
to abscond with your car.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Little lesbian g she's not gonna know what she's gonna. Well,
I know, we talked about this. She's actually gonna thrive
in Colorado. But she's not.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Even gonna she's just gonna blend in with her surroundings. Yeah.
In fact, she'll probably feel a bit more welcoming.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
So yeah, we close in the house tomorrow, so we're
there till Saturday. Just get a few things in, like
a fridge and a washer dryer and basic things.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
That's big.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Yeah, and then we spend in Christmas here and then
off we go. But we did we discuss this, what
do you do for Christmas?

Speaker 2 (27:15):
You know, we do a lot of bopping. So both
my family and Andrew's families are within an hour of
each other, and they both expect attendance, which is fair enough,
and everyone has really strong traditions, so it's nice to
be a part of that. But it also means that

(27:35):
we're just spread a little bit. Then we do a
lot of driving back and forth. I always say it
would be nice if one of our families was like
from Ohio, so we could be like, all right, Thanksgiving,
we're going to Ohio, that's it. And San Francisco we're
doing Christmas here. That's it and then we switch or
something like that. But it is very nice that we
get to see everybody on both holidays and get to

(27:55):
participate in those traditions.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
But that's what we're gonna be doing. But then we're
going to don't tell you we're going to New Zealand.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
We spoke about that sulf that's going to be unreal
by the way, why I'm so jealous.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
So we're doing that for New Years. Very nice, really
fun cool. Would you like to know my Christmas plans?

Speaker 4 (28:11):
I would so with with Kai, we quickly realize that
we like to spend Christmas at home because I feel
like you want so open as presents, even there is
only two, and we just kind of want to chill
and have Christmas here because if we're not careful, we'd
do Nebraska for a year, then we do England for
a year, and we'd actually never be at home. So

(28:32):
our motto moving forward is not this year because we're
having this big move, but we'd go to Nebraska like
either the week before week after Christmas. Same with England,
but not actually during Christmas because we think we just
I don't know, I like Christmas at home. So yeah,
so we're just having some friends o. But basically I'll
get into more detail towards Christmas. But yeah, stay tuned,

(28:58):
must listen. But we always used to go skiing at Christmas,
so I'm I've never actually been at home that much
of Christmas. I was always we always went skiing, me
and my family over Christmas, which was cute.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Now you can restart that because you're going to be living.
Oh yeah, that's true skiing. I forgot about that.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
Yeah, that's I don't know why I've thought this story,
And if my mum was alive, she'd absolutely kill me
for telling it, but I'm going to tell it. So
the reason I realized Santa wasn't real is we were
we were skiing in Austria where we would always go,
and it's a very safe, beautiful place that we stay at.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
It's like a guest off house. It's caught. It basically
feels like you're in someone's home.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
And we obviously became really good friends with the owners.
And I was probably about seven or eight, maybe a
bit older, and they would put me to bed and
stay in the bar downstairs like it was. It was
kind of really safe like that anyway, So I'm asleep. Wait,
you know, me and my mum had put out like
the mince pie and the whiskey and the carrot for
you know, Rudolph and all that stuff, and Santa clearly

(30:01):
liked whiskey, so we had to put whiskey out.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
And I remember were British, so brit and a mince pie.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
And a mince pie.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
So I heard this kerfuffle in like the middle of
the night, and it was obviously my mum coming back.
My dad was still downstairs with his mates or whoever.
We were done the bar, and I was like, what
the hell is up?

Speaker 3 (30:20):
And it was my.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Mum like literally just underwear, just scoffing this mince pie
and downing this whiskey. And I then ate like half
the carrot and I was just looking at it and I
was like, oh, I was like and then just like
fumbling around with my presence like putt them in the
corner of the room, and I just thought to myself,
I was like, oh shit, I don't think Tanta is real.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
And then like the next morning, rude, I know.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
The next morning, my mom was like obviously hanging she
must have been.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
She was just putting a brave face and.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Oh look, Rudolph made your carrot and Sante all the whisky,
drank all the whiskey, and I was like, you did
so if icking saw you last night, She's like, oh ship,
so that's how I found out my half naked mother.
I'm just coffing a mince pie, just dribbling down myself
with the shot it down with a glass of whiskey. Fantastic.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Just imagine a seventy year old mel laying there everything
like fucking hell, fucking animal Canal's the rood of that.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Hell.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
So yeah, that was honestly here. I could tell you
stories wat childhood for hours. It's how I've ended up.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
The where I have is quite a miracle. I wouldn't
have changed.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
Very British, very British, the most British.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I was talking to Andrew about this yesterday. It's really
impressive what our moms especially go through to make Christmas
magical for their kids. And I for years insisted on
sleeping on the sofa next to the Christmas tree because
I wanted to be there in case I saw Santa.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
I can't miss Santa.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
I would stay up for hours, like try to force
myself for hours to stay up until I finally would
just fall asleep because I was exhausted, which meant my
mom was waiting until like two in the morning to
come down and put the presents and eat the cookie.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
And we didn't do whiskey. We did cookies because you're
a little more wholesome, you're normal. No, yes, you know,
he clearly wouldn't want something like that. He's working.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Yeah, well, parente, you can drink and drive in the UK.
Doesn't matter, it doesn't.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Matter, it's just in the UK. Soon as he the border, yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
As soon as you passed, say for Europe, then yeah, exactly,
he knows. As soon as he goes over to Ireland
and he's crossing Europe, he's whacking a few pints.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Now this is where I stopped from my little break. Yeah,
this is where I have my eye whiskey.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, in California, He's like, oh, an avocado, all the gluten.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Freeze snags, thank you, And I said, hey, well salad.

Speaker 5 (32:52):
Yeah, but I mean I but I remember, I remember
so clearly hearing you know, she would come down and
put the presence and I would hear some sort of kerfuffle.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
But I was half asleep, so I couldn't really you know,
my mind would trick me and say I heard Tanta.
Yeah he was there. I heard him.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
And she was so good at going along with it.
And then one year I just you know, you just
realize it's not real.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
It's just my mom.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
It's my mum drunk with her tits out, drinking whiskey.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Excellent, which is honestly better than Santa. Honestly, I didn't
mind it. Fun No, it was, oh jeez, so funny.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yeah, Mon's definitely the parents definitely make Christmas magical.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Like I can even say it with car now, like
here's no fucking idea.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
Really, he knows a little bit about Santa, and he's
just starting to get it. Like we went to see
some Christmas lights like this quite famous like community. I
don't know where people live, like a neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
Sure, yeah, it sounds like a word for where people live.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
And they do an unbelievable like it's it's like really
fairs around here, like the amount of Christmas slights and
everyone makes an effort.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
It's kind of part of the h a.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
And we actually took him down on Thursday night and
he actually was like wearing his pants. So he's just
starting to get it. Yeah, he's just starting to get it.
But he's gonna sound Santa's lap next week.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Does he likes? Has he done that before?

Speaker 2 (34:20):
So hates it and hate it again?

Speaker 4 (34:26):
It depends. It depends on the effort of the center.
He's a bit bougie, like he know, he can tell
a fake center. I think already, Like there.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Was one at like a parent the week. Yeah, and
he just kind of looked a him. He's like budget Yeah,
it's like that. That is not center. Discount center.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yeah, no discount center. And we've watched Polar Express pretty
much every night.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
He's the train movie.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
Yeah, he's obsessed. So yeah, it's fun.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
It's fun. Do you have a favorite Christmas movie? Oh?

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Well, so yes, the Elf obviously, but I actually really
like the Poll Express. I think it's really cute. And
I also like Miracle on the thirty fourth Street.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
Huh. Interesting, I feel like you judged me there, No,
just I have a completely different list.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
It's always fascinating to me when people don't like exactly
what I like.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Christ is yours more of a musical? Wine is love? Actually?
How do British people feel about love.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Actually, we do like it. Yeah, I've actually forgotten about it.
So yeah, I bet yours is like the holiday in love? Actually,
isn't it?

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Not the holiday as much?

Speaker 2 (35:39):
But really, like i'd say, a big part of my
personality is based on love.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Actually. Yeah, it's a good film. It's a really good film.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
It's just it really breaks my heart when she felds
out he's something an affair.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Yeah, it's really sad. Yeah, it is really sad. So
if anyone that hasn't watched it.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
Yeah, sorry, yeah, yeah, exactly to be obsessed with her
and at that point as well, like I thought she was.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Yeah that was, yeah, that was.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
And when they when they walk down the aisle and
it's the they have the live band and then sitting
in the pews, I mean that's like iconic. And when
the Portuguese girl that's working with cons justin cases, I say,
justin cases every day, just in cases. I learned English

(36:27):
justin cases.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
Yeah it is a good film. Okay, fair enough, I'll
give you that. It's fine.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
And then the guy, you know, mister bean, that's making
doing the holly, would you like a sprig of holly?

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Oh no, I said, you wanted it gift wrapped, no
bloody Holly.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
Have you have you ever seen like, oh, mister Bean,
but before mister did you to watch mister Bean? M dude,

twenty twelve London Olympics ceremony when he just does.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
That that that that that that that that.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
On the the piano and it did no emotion you know.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Yeah, yeah, I find that on YouTube. If you haven't

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yeah, but so I love actually Home Alone one and
two obviously.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
Home Name one for sure? Which is Home line too?
Is that the one where he's in America?

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Home He's in America for both? Okay, New York, Home
Alone two Lost in New York. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
It's actually so impressive that they were able to make
a sequel that was just as good, if not better
than the original.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
That's wild.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Do you want me to be honest? I actually don't
think i've seen Homeline two.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Okay, Grace cut the pod. I watch it. I'll watch it.
I'll watch it. You're gonna watch a Miracle at thirty
fourth Street again, because I will.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
I'll watch ham Aline two before Christmas. It's really good.
It's okay, it's I have high expectations now, as you should,
because it's fantastic.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
So that Home In two, is that the two top?
Are your top twos? Oh?

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Yeah? Probably? And then I always loved the Santa Claus
with Tim Allen.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
Oh yeah, okay, what's that one with Arnest sausnigger in
it and he's like he's trying to get his sun
the toy.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
Yeah, my friend made my friend made me watch last
year and it was absolute shit.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Yeah. I think that's one of those movies that you
watch in the nineties and you're like, haha, that was
so good. In twenty twenty five not as much. But yeah,
Home Alone and Santa Claus have staying power. Okay, they're
they're like buying a nice Chanelle bag. You know, it's
still good twenty five years later. It's exactly why you
wanted to buy it.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
I've never really had that thought, but thank you. You know,
I'm just putting it in terms that you can stand, right, Okay,
got it? All right?

Speaker 4 (38:50):
Well, that could be my homework I'll watch Homelade two.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
How about that? Okay? Great?

Speaker 2 (39:04):
So this week we asked our followers on Instagram if
they had a shush of the week. I thought it
would be fun to include people in our just lovely
tradition that Mel is obsessed with, and we got the
most responses. But before we get to that, Mel, do
you have a shush of the week?

Speaker 4 (39:21):
I do?

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Actually, mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
So after the party on Saturday that we had, it
was very tame, four to suits, but four till eight,
and then Carli kicked everyone out because she was sleepy.
So Carli's sisters stayed over Dana and they live in Gainesville.
So it's kind of the last time that we're all
going to be in that house together, in this house together,
I would say, And put the boys to bed, and
we just sat put the fire on at like half

(39:44):
a and I thought I'd had a few beers, but
not like you know when you're you're hosting and you
know you're not really drinking that much. But I'd had
a few, I mean, not enough for someone like myself
to feel it. And I decided to open bottle of
wine and before I know, I drank the whole bottle
and it was not great. Did not fit yesterday, I.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
Mean, such a nice time drinking, went to bed.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
I thought, I'm even that junk. This is perfect.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
I've done it in my own house. I had fire on.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
It was just I was just plowing talking vibes and
I woke up. Noat no vibes, no vibes. So Lesson
learned as she drank a bottle and a half. I think, actually,
because I finished book by Yourself, I thought everyone else
was drinking and they weren't. Well, why is this why

(40:35):
I got a headache? Why do I like the Joko
when I've gone to bed massive red lips?

Speaker 2 (40:42):
So last night during the party, I barely drank, barely
ate because I was running around trying to talk to it.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
I was like a wedding. It was sixty people. I
was yeah. I was like, wow, I didn't realize I
knew this.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Many people show up, but you're you're barping around trying
to talk to everybody that's taken time out of their
day in life to come see you, which is very
nice of them. But at the end of the night,
it was Andrew and me and one of our good
friends stayed and the three of us were just having
a couple of glasses of wine. And I haven't really
had a wine night in a while, so this was
last night. And at one point around eight thirty, because

(41:15):
everybody left at seven, and at around eight thirty and
she was like, should we start getting ready for bed?
It was pretty we're pretty tired. It's been a crazy
day of prepping and then hosting. And I was so
hopped up on adrenaline and I was really enjoying my
glass of wine. And I was like, absolutely not. We
need to put on an episode of Victoria and.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
And enjoy this bottle. You know, so, I but it's
the best I woke up this morning.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Guy.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
I actually feel shockingly not terrible. Oh how many glasses
did you have? Probably two and a half. That's a lot.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Forget that you well done, you proud of you.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
That's my equivalent of the whole bottle for you.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
So well, listen, I'm the one that fell like shit
yesterday and you didn't, so lesson, then, well I won't.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
I'll do it again. I'll do it one hundred times. Yeah,
I just lessons do you speak of?

Speaker 4 (42:07):
Yeah, I'm just I was just vibin. It just felt
great at the time.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
Yeah, no regrets, all right? Were the shush of the weeks?
What about my shush of the week? Oh, I thought
that was your shush of the week. No, I was.
I was just setting on to your Sorry. Sorry, sorry, Cara.
I'll make mine quick. What is your shush of the week?
Thank you for asking.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Mal Mine is one thing you can probably relate to,
and it is the Jacksonville Airport.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Why I have been you and Jack's. I was in
Jack's last week. I told why would you not text me?
I did?

Speaker 2 (42:38):
I sent you a voice note which you listened to
and it disappeared and then you didn't say anything.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
So I thought you didn't want to see me, So
I didn't say I did not get that voice note,
Yes you did. I did not. Yes you did. I
did not. Now I must have played.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
It and then got distracted and then it got deleted.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
Well, so you know when you send a voice no
and it goes away, which means that the sort of
listen to it. So I thought that you had listened
to it, and no, I definitely didn't. I definitely did not.
I don't know. Were you in jacksonvillefore a day? Two days?

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Kira, I landed at like seven o'clock, and I was
because the day before I had sent you a voice note,
and this is on Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
I was. I.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
I was like, maybe Mel, maybe I could come by
and see Mel before I leave or when I land
and I sent you a voice note about it, and
I didn't hear back, so then I was.

Speaker 4 (43:33):
I definitely didn't. I definitely didn't. I didn't listen to it.
I must have press playbackcident and not listen and not
pay attention. And I don't mean that in a way.
I just literally got distracted. Oh, Kira, I would have
love to have seen you.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
I know. Sorry.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Maybe I was like I didn't want to say it
again like I would say, well.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
Because I was like, you know, she said, she didn't respond,
she doesn't want to see me. Fine, I want to
see you. See.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
I wanted to send another one going, hey, bitch, I said,
you have always know and you haven't feel like, can
you just tell me yes or no? I'm not easy offenders. Sorry, Okay,
carry on. I apologize. That's something I totally to it.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
I should have well.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
I also, to be fair, I landed, immediately, went to bed,
went to my event at TPC.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
And then immediately got in the uber and left.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
Oh okay, So why don't you know like about Jacksonville
aapool there's many things.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Well, I was trying to make a five to fifteen flight,
and I got there in time to make that flight.
My original flight was at seven thirty, and I was
really trying to make this five fifteen because it was
the difference between landing at home at eleven PM and
landing at home at two in the morning, which is,
as you know, a big deal. And then I went

(44:46):
on to have the breakdown next to the tequila section
at Costco. So I got there in time to make
the flight, but the security was such a shit show,
and there was this lady yelling at everybody in a
way that you know, we don't need to need yelling,
I guess at people when they're just trying to get
through it.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
The machine was broken, it wasn't happening. I missed the plate.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
I know.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
That disappoints me because I actually think Jacksonville Airport's got
much better now. They've got them special you know, the
special machines they called.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Yeah, that special machine was not working. It was down.
So people were just standing there for fifteen minutes. Oh
I'm sorry, Kira. Yeah that sucks. It was real. That sucks.
So not only did mel not respond to my text
or want to.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
See see, but I also didn't even get to make
my flight.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
I was, Oh, it's so annoying, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (45:40):
Sorry, it's sad. I'm sorry. Yeah, it's okay, Okay.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
But since the Shush of the Week has become such
a fan favorite, we got a few shushes from those
that listen to the pod, so I appreciate you guys
for writing in. So we had one that was complaining
about once bush is how cold it is in Kentucky
right now? So Boston prayis never been in Kentucky. I

(46:06):
don't know if I want to say anything else. Did
I just go through them?

Speaker 4 (46:10):
I mean, why is it so cold in Kentucky? It's
just because of this cold storm thing that's gone through.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
I don't know. Okay, you know I lived in Kentucky
for five years as a kid. Did you well, how
old were you?

Speaker 2 (46:21):
I was aged two to seven. My dad did his
residency at UK in Lexington.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Did you get a twin? I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
My parents were Russian enough to make it so that
they didn't have a twang.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
Okay, yeah, yeah, it wasn't that. We were like not
in the country.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
Can you imagine how different your life would have turned
out if you'd have had a Kentucky accent.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
I did have a Texas accent for a little bit
when we lived because we then we lived in Texas
after that, and then when I moved to California, I
was saying, y'all, it did not go for making friends.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
No wonder everybody hated me. And why y'all hate me?
You're so mean Texas girl. Oh I feel I feel
like you would have vived in Texas. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Yeah, your hair can be as big as you and
no one want to do stuff? Yeah yeah, we love
a boot, we love some leather. Yeah, okay, sorry, come
from Kentucky.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Unhelpful airline agents talking to you? United? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (47:23):
United? Awful? Who else is really bad? Oh? With the
other day American?

Speaker 4 (47:32):
I just can't I can't with American. I just can't
fly them. Sorry, No people love American Airline. I just
cannot do it. I cannot do it. I just can't
stand it.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
Fair enough, I agree with that one.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Okay, these are I love that so many of these
are travel related. Uh, people with TSA or clear pre
check that still take two years to get through security.
So you know, when you're in TSA and the person
in front of you is acting like they've never been
in TSA.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
Why are you here? Yes? Jen Pop is over there?
Go stand over there. At Jacksonville. The other day, somebody
took his shoes off in the TSA line. How deare they?
You don't take shoes off anyway anymore? What's changed? Even
in the regular line.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
I don't have TSA. We've had this discussion. I'm always
in the regular line, well prior to dying.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
But yeah, yeah, but still no, you don't take you
shoes off anymore. Act like you've been here. Bro, Yeah,
I agree with you. I agree with you. I agree
with you.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
I gotta wait for this guy to put his shoes
back on. In the meantime, I messed my flate.

Speaker 4 (48:36):
So it actually pisses me off when people don't know
what they're doing it in the airport. And I do
have sympathy because I know people don't travel like we do,
but we spoke as before. But it actually does my
head in, does my absolutely head.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
In well, there are people that there's tears to this
because there's some people that are clearly travel novices, and
that's fine. I don't know how they get TSA or
have gone through the process and figured all about out
in stuff.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Act like they do. But okay, But then there's.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
People that have been there before and they're like having
a chat with the gate agent person or you know,
complaining about, oh I need to go get this bit, like.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
Just put herself in and go.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Yeah, like yeah, nobody wants to be here longer than
they need to. Okay, Men at the driving range, you
didn't hit it three hundred and none of the women
here want your swing tips.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
That's so true, isn't it. Isn't it?

Speaker 4 (49:29):
Oh dude, go just to sleeve is alone. It's really
difficult for them, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
It's so it's like it's just we've talked about this
million times, but it's just vomit of the mouth. Seeing
a woman by herself on the range immediately incites this
weird physical vomit of the mouth reaction.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
So just that's worth on that.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Yeah, as a personal trainer, those that don't re rack
weight or wipe down equipment, yeah, I would agree that
big one for you.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
Yeah, I'm I'm on to be honest.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
I don't. I don't wipe down equipment every time, so gross,
isn't it. I just can't bother it.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Uh like a hotel gym. I'm not.

Speaker 4 (50:14):
I don't know. I just I wipe it down kind
of before I use. Yeah, I probably should do it
afterwards as well, but this is quite the admission. Yeah,
I just I don't know.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
Because I personally, if I'm on the treadmill and I
see somebody else get off and not wipe it down,
I'm standing there judging them.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
Oh you Okay, that could be my newar's resolution. I'll
start wiping shit down just for you, Kira.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
No, it's for yourself, for your own clean conscience. Okay,
I'll start wiping it down. I don't know. I just
I do forget to be honest.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
If it's really busy, I'll do it because I feel
like people will judge me if I'm just throwing my
own I.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Don't whatever nobody saw me. It's fine.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Never I get this weird uh like pit in my stomach.
If I don't do it because somehow someone's watching me.

Speaker 4 (50:55):
Yeah, that's fair enough. I hate people that grunt in
hotel gyms as well, like real grunts. I'm like, it's
a hotel gym, dude, Like there's no squad right, Like
the weight it's not even that heavy, Like there's.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
Really no need.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
It's literally a tiny space. Can everyone just relax and
you don't need to grunt like that at all?

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Yeah? Agreed, agreed.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Okay, last one, this is someone that's taking after my
own heart. How long it takes my car to warm
up on the way to early morning Platts.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
We see Carlie's got one of these cars that you
can start it and set it off before.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Wow, that's nice.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
Annoyed me actually, because I knew she wanted a new car.
This is about two years ago, and I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I saw it. I saw it, and she picked the
one day that I was violently hungover and she was
like just to kind of shut the situation. Yeah, And
I was like, fine, it's go to the dealership. And
I just bought a car like as quickly as I could,
just because I was just so hungover.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
I just wanted to go back to the sofa.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
You know that Carli is smart, She's not stupid. She's
like I'm going to pick the day where she has
your guard down. Yeah, she has no patience and she's
not sitting a fine print.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
Nope, definitely did not do that.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
No fine print. Yeah, so amazing. Thank you to everybody
that sent us great shushes. If you too have a shush,
we will open up another box.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
