Is it jack lanterns? Is it Christmas trees?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Is it popsicles and firecrackers and freedom? Freedom?
Speaker 4 (00:14):
Traditionally speaking? Yes, but now people are really making summer
Ween a thing.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
That's what it's called. I've always done.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's always been about that.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Summer Ween, a mashup between summertime and Halloween. So jack
lanterns and sunglasses, beach towels with dancing guys. Yeah, why
it's actually I guess it was inspired by a Disney
cartoon called Gravity Falls.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Wait, that's a good show, so it's pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Well, and this is where it's coming from, So this
isn't the first year that Summer ween has been a thing.
And then also you have the Hallmark Channel taking advantage
of Christmas in July where they run all of their
Christmas movies, and then a lot of people do Christmas
in July.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
So it's like everybody wants July to be anything but
what it is.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Summer must suck for July because everybody looks forward to
July summer.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, and then it just try then try to change it. Yeah, yeah,
it makes sense, I guess, but then it kind of
messes with you. Right then you don't have anything to
look forward to in the fall.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Well it's not really Halloween, it's not really Christmas. Yeah,
you can still look forward to those things. Ain't nobody
handing out Christmas gifts in July?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
We did used to have I worked at a resort
and we used to have Santa come in in swim
trunks and he used to like go on the lazy
river with all the kids. And so that's kind of funny.
You got to see Santa in July. And it also
like cay Santa go back to run smoothly over there?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Now, why is he taking a break? Get vacation.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
But but if you are into celebrating, we're almost there.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Summer ween is around the corner.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, it is okay, this is actually interesting side.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I guess that means different things for different people.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
So an interesting conversation has sparked, and it is trending
because a man went to go see Lelo and Stitch
by himself. So a man went to go see the movie.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
So he's in the movie theater alone.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
A mom goes and she brings her kid, and she
decides to create this conversation that's gone viral about whether
or not it's weird for him to be in the
theater to watch Lelo and Stitch alone.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Maybe I didn't have anyone to go with him. Yeah, weird.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You might want to see the movie.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
I really like the original animated movie. I would go
see Leo It's good without my child. Yeah, I would
go see it.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I don't think there's anything weird with it at all,
but this woman made it a big deal and is like,
am I being unreasonable for saying that there's a man
here that's all weird?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
And is that your Australian accent?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I think I was trying to do the UK one.
Oh but this is in Australia. No, the UK.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Oh, thanks Victoria for the computer. I'm sure I'm not
the only one. But I I guess, like, I can't
dude just do anything and like it's not that's not
okay like that? Why would why is this creating such
a problem?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I mean, yeah, because I think that she's being like, okay,
is he like scouting out?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Is he being gross. But I think the guy just
really wanted to see the movie.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
But girls take theirself themselves like on like cute little
like solo dates, right, so like if a guy did that,
it's also not weird.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I know.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
That's why it's actually trending so much, because she made
such a stink about it, and everybody else is like, lady,
let the man live.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Yeah, I hope that's what the comment section is.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Well, it is actually of them are saying that the
man was I just.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Wanted to see the movie.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Also could be a good too, Yeah, it could be.
But there's no evidence. Yeah, exactly, there's an absence of evidence.
Just a guy wants to see So I hope so
ninety people believe that was the truth.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, I mean I take myself to see Bell.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, but you're a creep?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah you are? You know why you're there? Yeah, I
wanted to see the movie. Seriously, what I don't believe
that's what is an adult woman need to see that
beast by herself? Have you seen the beast?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
He was?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Also? Exactly where's the adult? How did she get in
