Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to Buns and Banter, a podcast by work Busties
for work Busties. Hey, I'm Lauren and I'm Ali. We're
both morning show hosts for iHeartMedia. We're both millennials, and
we're both trying to figure out how to build the
lives we dream about, dating, marriage, career, career and being
a mom. How to get through a week without crying.
(00:25):
Welcome to Buns and Banter. We're glad you're here. That's humbly.
I think my thighs are too big to sit cross
legged anymore in these cheers. Yeah, that's all right. It
fits the mood of the weed up there, and it hurts.
I'm gonna sit like a Oh God, just don't watch
this video on YouTube. Welcome to it.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Whoo Okay, So yeah, let's start with you because wow, wow, wow,
I feel like there's a lot to unpack.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Well, I want to start out with a story first,
because I feel like you and I talk so much
about how busy we are, crazy stress we can be,
and like sometimes do it. I feeling I feel like
sometimes you have those moments that remind you like, hey,
you need to slow the fuck down for a second,
and it happened yesterday, and I feel like it almost
(01:17):
I almost died, Oh tell me.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It was a good reminder, but it was also like
a like father son, Holy Spirit, thank you Jesus for
taking the wheel on this. I had so much to
do the other day. I had like a client meeting,
straight into Sophia's preschool open house, straight to flag football
practice and then a birthday party. And it was our anniversary.
And it was our anniversary. Oh yeah, we did absolutely
(01:41):
nothing except all of those things. You shared an umbrella
flag football? What do you mean so romantic? Ce? But
I'm speeding. This is all on me user error. But
I'm like speeding to get from one event to the next.
And I'm taking this the plain Field exit if you're local,
and you know what I mean, right off of ninety
six or whatever that expressway is, I don't know whatever,
(02:04):
And it's a twenty five mile per hour one. It
had started raining and it was too fast, and all
of a sudden, my car like lost control. Oh horrifying,
like shit my pants, horrifying. Yeah, so I could feel
like I was like, oh my god. And I realized
it immediately. That curve came so fast. I was like, shit,
you are going way too fast for this. What are
(02:26):
you doing? This is irresponsible? And my car is just
like hydroplaning, skidding. I'm off like I went off into
the grass, like thank god, missed one of the like
turn signs, the yellow arrows, and I was and then
corrected itself, and I was just like, Okay, that was
a literal life and death reminder. You need to slow
(02:50):
the f down. Yeah, And I just thought to myself, Yeah,
and I thought, oh my, oh my god. Sometimes I
think you and I both like I won't speak for you,
but I think we are going so fast doing all
the things, trying to get all the things done, so
we have like an ounce of energy for ourselves that
sometimes you need a physical reminder, like, bitch, you're going
(03:12):
off the road. You need to like right yourself and
figure this out better. Yeah, isn't that crazy? That is crazy.
It's such an experience. Oh that's so scary. So not
to open like a buzzkill. It was my fault. I
was going too fast. People have told me, Mom, I
bought up a fast driver. But take a second, like
deep breadth in, deep breath out, and give yourself a slowdown.
(03:35):
Did big boss him tell you he spun out in
his Tesla on the way up North a couple weekends ago.
I had no idea. Hmm.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
He totally spun out, Like he said, same thing. He
was on the highway. He wasn't going that fast. It
was somewhere between seventy five and eighty yeah, something on there,
and he just the road was like a little bit wet,
and he just completely he was going straight and then
all of a sudden just hydroplane lost control and spun
into the median, into the like the grass grassy median,
(04:07):
and like, Tesla takes video of everything, right.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I was gonna ask, do is it like talk to
you through the situation? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And then because you like had a not an emergency incident,
but some kind of like you know whatever, for Tesla,
it keeps recording for like the next i don't know,
ten minutes or something, just to like make sure everything's fine.
But he showed us the video. It was super scary.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
So he was going to put new tires on his Tesla.
I don't know if he ended up doing that, but take.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
A second, slow it down, very be very demure.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
About where you're headed on the road, very mindful, very demure.
Some of you aren't when you drive though you're not.
And it's really unfortunate because I have really been trying
to work on my road rage, and it's just it
ain't happening. It ain't happening, No, And I'm so impatient
by the time we leave work, where the road rage
(05:02):
would be worse. I got the way in who we
don't see very many people work good. When I get
out of here, we are very fortunate that on our
way into work, it's usually before five o'clock, so there's
like no one on the road. So like the biggest
gripe is like the lights are red when they don't
need to be, because that's a good you know what.
I yellows are everyone's friend or a blinking red But
(05:26):
just like a regular cycle before five o'clock in the
morning doesn't need to happen. I'm sitting here, I'm wasting time,
I'm late for work. What do we do wing? But
when we get out it's like lunch rush.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah. And I had the absolute.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Pleasure of being on twenty eighth Street at around four
thirty five o'clock. Oh god, And I had to get
from twenty eighth Street in Cascade over to Grandville. Oh,
and I took and I was like, ain't no way,
I'm taking twenty eighth street. There are I have a
(05:59):
list of a one hundred things I'd rather do besides
take twenty eighth straight between four and five o'clock. So
I was like, I'll take forty fourth.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Oh yeah, oh look at the faith.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It was such a stressful drive. I don't know if
it's just because we're not used to rush hour traffic.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I yeah, I never remember I have to share the road,
my god, Like people don't use their blinkers. People just
like cut into your lane without People go like twenty
five miles an hour in a forty five zone, and
then you're stopped at all these lights. Why are there
so many lights? Like you can't even.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Get fifty feet no before you hit another light on
forty fourth Street. It's like yes, And it just I
was so stressed out and I had such a headache
when I was done with that that I like, I
got home and I went to bed like almost immediately,
and I woke up the next morning.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
With a headache.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Oh girl, yep, And I thought I was getting sick
because then I got hot and I was like, oh
my god, I'm getting a fever. Oh my god, I
have the new COVID. Oh my god, how.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Did I you know?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
But I was fine. I think I was just like
I worked myself up.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
God, because where I'm at, because I'm a couple of
years older than you, i'd be like, holy shit, on
top of everything else, I'm ParaMed apozzle, not demure, not
not mindful? Am I doing it right? I warned to
Ali before we started this, I said, I'm gonna sound
like a senior citizen here because this is a huge
TikTok trend right now. And I don't know if we're
(07:38):
I saw the original video, yeah, and it's like, are
we really being demure? Or are we ironic about the
demure it?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Ty?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I think that's what's so fascinating about the Internet and
these trends is that it just like kind of evolves
into like whatever you want. Some of them are really funny, Yes,
some of them are really funny. But if you're are unfamiliar,
there is a TikTok influencer who just like coined this
phrase and has like a large number of videos basically
(08:10):
like teaching people like see how I do my makeup
for work, very demure, very mindful. I think, just to
point out, like how crazy the world has become, Like
do we need to be going to work in our
rave clothes?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
We don't. We're gonna set that ground.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
We're gonna wear our cardigan and our crocs, very demure,
very mindful.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I don't know if I'm I don't even have a mind.
When I get up, I'm literally like, I think these
pants are clean. I bought this at Target for five
dollars yesterday and put it on. Do you love it? Yeah? Nice?
It's comfy that I'm here for comfort. I've said that
to you. I only get my lashes done because it
gives me an extra thirty minutes of sleep. High maintenance
to be low maintenance. Oh that's that is a bunch
(08:55):
of banner t shirt. I didn't come up with it. TikTok.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
You can find everything on TikTok. Yeah, high maintenance to
be low maintenance. You know, like, yeah, the girls who
get their like eyebrows like microbladed and get like eyelashes
and stuff, because then you don't have to put makeup
on like ever, and you're just like good to go
like it's a rather high maintenance I guess cost and
(09:22):
time appointment, but it saves you so much time and
money in the long run.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
So I'm a demure you are Oh, I'll tell you
what was not demure. I've been waiting for this. I haven't.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I've not gotten your I've been waiting for this. I
saw the video.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I have not gotten your in real life response to this,
only because you were you were person ooh, you were
person number three besides my husband and another coworker to
know about what happened out on that water.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Lauren and I parked in to each other in the
basement every day, every single day, and she gets here
before I do. So when I pull in, I like
see her car and I'm like, Okay, my person's here.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I can do another day. Oh I feel that same way.
Yeah I do. I'm like, she's gonna be here soon.
I've only got to hold it together for another four minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
So I pull into work last week or this week,
yeah on Wednesday, yes, was days ago.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
This is fresh.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And usually if she's gonna take time off vacation or otherwise,
she's like, hey, I'm not going to be here, so
take your pills before you come in tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And her car wasn't.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Here, and I was like, this was not a scheduled
day off.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Nope, nothing that happened with scheduled.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So I was going to text you, except I thought
maybe you had taken like a personal day, and I was.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Like, good for her, I wish, I wish, and Nope.
Instead I texted Ali. I said, hey, if you want
to get together and podcast this week, I shit in
a tackle box and I'd be happy to talk about it.
That's the best tease. Pooped in a tackle box. I
would like to say. It is probably rock bottom for me.
(11:10):
It's easily the most mortifying thing that's ever happened. So
we have a fishing boat. Chris is a big fisherman,
and it's been in the shop since March for repairs.
Finally got it back late last week and I was
having a really tough day earlier this week and I
talked to Chris about it from work. So I get
home and he surprised me. He's like, I've packed a lunch,
(11:32):
I've packed beverages. The kids are good to go. We're
gonna go have a boat day. The water is perfect.
We can even go out on the big lake. Lake
Michigan is like glass. I've chucked the buoys and it
was amazing. We went out. We found this great little
dune beach. Nobody was there. I love it. Yeah, the
highs are high and the lows are low. Because we
(11:56):
left later in the afternoon and my son Will really
wanted to fish and see the sunset. And Chris was like,
the water is honestly calm enough. We could stay out
there till sunset. I'm like, oh my god, this is
so great. So it's about seven fifteen pm. We are
out on Lake Michigan. I feel like this is important
because a lot of people gave me like things I
could have done to avoid pooping in a tackle box.
(12:18):
We were in the middle Lake Michigan, depth one hundred
feet scary and like once you get out of the boat,
we have like we don't really have a ladder to get.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Back into a fishing boat. It's a fishing boat. It's
not like a speedboat or like.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
A pontoon anything like that. Yeah, there's lines everywhere. And
so I'm sitting there and it's been about an hour
of some tummy issues. Hot girls have tummy problems, and
I was like, oh, man, okay, so maybe we should
wrap it up pretty soon, and boom, brick wall has hit.
Things are coming. They are coming quick, quicker than anticipated.
And I turned around to Chris. I'm like, man, I'm
(12:54):
gonna shit my pants and he goes, oh, I'll start
pulling lines and I'm like, no, no, we do not
have that time anymore. He said, I'm gonna go like
right now, and he just like goes white in the face,
like I don't I don't know what to tell you.
And I go, oh my god, I'm gonna need you
to pick whatever tackle box is the least important to you,
(13:16):
and I'm gonna need you to look away. And I
emptied out a tackle box and went to the front
of the boat. It was literally the scene from Bridesmaids.
You did what you needed to do. Literally, it was
lava alley. It was lava. It was so awful. And
my kids are there and they keep turning around and
Chris is like, guys, look at the big fish out there.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And I'm like, don't look at me, don't look at me.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And it's just like it overflowed out of the tackle box.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
No, I ruined you beach her lady.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It was. It was horrendous. Then you have to dump
your receipt and rinse it in Lake Michigan. Because Chris
is Polish, so he's not gonna buy a new tackle box.
He's just gonna sanitize and reuse this one. And I'm
just like, oh my god, there was so much it
showed up on his fishbinderlake. He's standing there and he's like,
(14:09):
oh my god, babe, I'm so sorry because I know
that this is just the worst experience for you. He goes,
but literally, your poop looks like bait in the lake
right now. And I didn't have toilet paper or anything.
So I just sat like that, got myself together.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What did we What did we do to the universe?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
What did we do? What did we do? Three three
other neighboring boats watched that happen because I saw them.
I'm saw them, and you know what, all respect to
the Lake Michigan fishermen because they knew what was happening,
and I saw them all like turn around like, oh no,
this has got me worse, and it was just it
was the worst experience. I may never I don't know
(14:48):
if I'll ever go on a boat again. I was
so scared. I am so sorry. I cannot believe I
shit in a tackle box. Where was the home depot bucket? Exactly?
And that's we drove all the way back into the
doc complete silence. We like, get the boat hitched up,
complete silence. We get in the truck. We're driving for
about five ten minutes back home, and Christas turns me Eagles,
(15:11):
you know, this is the first time I've forgotten the
home depot bucket. And I'm really sorry. Even fashion into
toilet seat for the home depot bucket. I'm fine with
the home depot bucket. That little tackle box kaboodle thing
had no space for what I was about to unload.
It was horrible. So I took the next day off
because it was started on the boat at seven pm,
(15:33):
went until about seven am the next morning. Oh no
idea what it was. I felt perfectly fine afterwards. I
don't we all ate the same stuff. But and it
wasn't even like motion sickness. The lake was crystal calm.
It was so nice. I would know because had there
been waves that shit would have gotten everywhere. Yeah, it
(15:54):
was awful. I am so sorry. I appreciate that. And
then We had a wonderful talk back message on our
iHeart radio app that came in, and this wonderful listener said,
I just want to ask SCHMITTI if what happened on
the Fishminder was a crappy or a brown trout. It
was like Michael too soon, Michael not solid enough to
(16:15):
be a brown trout. So yeah, well, you know it
was something. I bet Chris doesn't forget the home Deeper
boocket ever again, but he doesn't glass half fall. I
bet I bet that also never happens to you again.
That never. That's in a one.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
That's a once in a lifetime. That's that is also
you know, it was close to your anniversary as that
happened as well, and as I recall, what was it
not cholera, but what was the the in College Dale
manella salmonella.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You guys, you guys have a believably bad strain. This
is a this is a theme. I just thought to myself,
I was like, oh my god. At one point, it's
just so bad you have to laugh, like I'm sitting
and it's just like where was Katie with the gas leaf?
Get Out? Get Out? I believe it's like six episodes ago.
If you guys want to track back on the buns
(17:10):
and banners. I just thought to myself, like, it gets
so bad, you're laughing, right, It's coming out of me
like water. And I look at Chris and I'm just like,
thank god we're married, because you're stuck here. If this
was like a first date, I would have taken myself
overboard and risked the swim back to shore one hundred percent, Like,
thank god he's been with me nine years and is
(17:30):
not fazed by the fact that I had just the
worst explosive diary in my life inside his fishing box,
that is. I will say, though, and maybe ask this TMI.
We have not done it since.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
There was give it some time, there was no anniversary happening.
Give it, give it some time, give it some time.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You know, you just think.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You you think you know someone after you've been married
for a while. But every once in a while you
get to peel back a new layer and layer, you
get to experience new things together. That's yeah, that's that's
a mile, so you feel closer.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
We'll say that something. Yeah, for sure sat pretty far
away for the rest of that ride. But that's just
a personal thing.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, so has he also fashioned some sort of like
toilet paper holder to the side of the home depot bucket,
because I imagine if the bucket wasn't there, neither was
the TP.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah. He has actually spent the last couple days in
his spare time really putting together a bit of a
bathroom rig. So that was kind. I think that's technically
my anniversary gift is the bathroom rigs. The bathroom rig
for this nice, isn't that? Yeah, that's that's odd. I
didn't think i'd be here someday. Life comes at you fast.
(18:44):
Life comes at you fast. Can you think of the
most embarrassing place you've had to poop? I just one
has the story. I don't know what I would do.
I don't know what I would do. Yeah, but that's
and you don't have time to think. And I did
not have time to think. I'm like you.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I think you did the best that you could do,
though for the situation. God like, it was either that
or just like what in the middle of the boat.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
And there's it would have there's no way, there was
so so much, but I felt skinny us all afterwards. Yeah. Yeah,
you're only one bat boat right away from your goal weight.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Always speaking of relationship milestones, Oh, congrats to you on yours,
Thank you, thank you. I hope that in I hope
that doesn't happen to me ever. But you know, how
long have you and Chris been together?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
This will be married nine years. We've been together since
two thousand and seven. Okay, yeah, so give us some time,
give us some time. Eventually you will be pooping in
front of Jimmy too. I don't think so, but I am.
I am. We're going on our first flyaway trip together.
(19:54):
Oh that's huge.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Congratulations to the Grand Rapids Grizzlies men lacrosse team for
making it to nationals.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh hell yeah, yeah. I finally got.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
To see Yimmy play lacrosse.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Is he super hot doing it? I feel like lacrosse
players are really hot. Yeah. Oh hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Good for you if you can get it, if you
can watch your significant other play like the sport that
they're really good at. And he's like really really good.
And he played at Davenport in college and he was
like captain of the team. He was all American. Like
I've been just chomping at the bit to see him
play lacrosse, and like the season has been a couple
months this summer and like I haven't been allowed to
(20:35):
come to a game, and I'm like, I'm like why why,
Like I don't get it. Well, I finally get it
because these games are like they're physical and they talk
shit and I love it.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I love it so much. I love watching lacrosse. It
is such an intense, intensely physical game.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, and this is box lacrosse, so it's indoor. So yeah,
so like the field or or court or whatever is
much smaller and it's inside and it is just like
way more physical and I love it.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Oh my god, I have nothing to with a second. No,
I know.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
So they're going to Nationals. Their team is like really good.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
That's amazing because they're all like ex college players or
current college players or like some of them are like
making a look at like the Professional Lacrosse League like
PL so they're like these are this is some high
level and I don't know shit about lacrosse.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
So I'm just like, oh, we're clapping right, let me
make sure it's.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The right people. You'd be so good at the shit
talking now, I know.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I actually like that's one of my that's one of
the things that I started doing during the first game
that I've ever been allowed to come to, is like
I write down their chirps to each other because they're
just they're so funny, and none of them I can
repeat because they're it's bad, and like it's funny to
me because all of these guys are in their like
upper twenties and thirties, some of them are in their
(22:00):
early twenties maybe, so I know that, like all of
these guys have office jobs that they're going back to
on Monday, oh with like bruises and cuts and scrapes,
Like they fight, they fight and they talk shit, and
I'm like, this is so funny to me that you
guys are like so buttoned up at your office jobs
like Monday through Friday, and then you get to play
lacrosse on the weekends and just like get a little.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Bit off the leash. Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
So we're going to Nationals, which are in upstate New York,
and not only will this be our first time flying
and like going on like traveling together. We got a
hotel room like a couple minutes away from where they're
gonna play. Not only that, but his best friend who
lives in New York, who I've never met in person.
(22:46):
I've met him like once on FaceTime. Is also coming.
Oh wow, right, so I'm gonna get to spend a
lot of time with him on supervise. And then I
was talking to Jimmy last night about this and I'm like, hey,
is the best he like staying for the entire tournament
(23:08):
all weekend. He's like yeah, And I'm like, oh, he's
staying with us in the hotel room Disney and He's like,
which is fine. Like I'm totally cool with that. I'm
totally I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Totally chill and totally cool. But now I'm like, I'm nervous.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
That is a very I'm nervous.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
So it's like first flyaway, meeting best friend and then
cohabitating for a weekend with best friend. Those are big milestones.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
And this is like the first time that I'm gonna
be hanging out with like his lacrosse friends and like
their wives that are going to this, and like it's
just like a lot of new things all at once.
And I'm totally coping and I don't feel awkward and
I feel totally good and great and not anxious at all.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Take your pills. Take the pills. Take the pills. I'm
so excited for you though, also like Upstate New York.
This sounds like, I don't know, a gorgeous start to
a Hallmark movie or something. You're gonna make best friends
with all the wives, Like you're gonna have all these
new experiences and just fabulous time together, and you're gonna
get to watch him like kick the shit out of
people in his desired sport. I know, I am like
(24:20):
so excited about that. He should make a T shirt.
But I, oh, I have his other jerseys. Oh my god,
that's so cute. I have his other jerseys. That's real sweet.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
And he's like, make sure you bring those and I'm like, oh, don't, won't.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Don't you worry about a how?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
But like, so, if I start acting different, it's because
I'm a wag.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Now a wag, a wife and girlfriend of a professional athlete.
Oh my god, that's so good. Mm hm oh god,
my friend's a wag. I'm a wag. We have to
have a party or something. I feel like you need
a coming out party.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Well, and he's he's talking about like I just like
I hope we can play really well, and like I
hope we can win it all because we've had a
look at like the Championship Championship a few times and
like we've lost in the semis and then we've lost
in like the championship game, and like I just like
I really hope we can win it this year. It's
a really special group. The guys are really good and
(25:21):
we have a really good team chemistry. And I was like, oh,
is it not like a for sure thing that you'll win.
I guess I didn't really plan on there being like
sad lost feelings. I just assumed like if we're going, we're.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Winning, and that's a good wag.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Like, I guess I have to prepare for all scenarios.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I cannot wait to hear about this. I know. I'm
also about to get on Etsy and be like, find
me some good wag swag from a girl. I know.
I bet there's cute shit on there. I know, Oh
my god.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
And like this is not that I didn't like have
this experience in high school where I had like a
boyfriend that played sports. Yeah, and I didn't have a
boyfriend in college that played sports on like a serious level.
So I feel like I'm back in high school.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Like I feel so like Taylor Swift music video it
does in a good way that is a total compliment.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
So I'm just I'm gonna do the best I can.
It's gonna be fabulous, but I'm super excited.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
He's so lucky about you're the best wag about you're
the best wag.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Well, I don't know how to do anything. So like
his game that I went to last weekend, like the
game ended.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
And I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I didn't know what to do, so I just like
went and sat in my car by his car, and
they were like on the field and like they got
their picture taken, and he was like.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Why didn't you like stay to.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Come get a picture on the field, And I was like,
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
That was not I didn't know. And then they like.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
All kind of hung around after and just kind of like,
oh my god, hung out in the parking lot for
a little while, and I'm just like waiting by his car.
I'm like calling my mom like passing the time, and
then I just like I finally ended up leaving and
he was like, no, come back, like just what did
you do in high school? Just like do that?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
And I was like I didn't do this in high school. Money.
I sat at the top of the bleacher's anxiety ridden, right, right,
That's what I did in high school, right.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
So I just like some of the other wives there,
they've been in this for a while, so I'm just
gonna like follow.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Their leave, oh yeah or whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But you know that I'm not an anxious person whatsoever,
and I'll be totally fine.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I'm like, it's so excited.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, and I'm like so proud and like so happy
for the for the guys and also for Jimmy. But
I'm just like very nervous. I'm very nervous.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Like we also, he's like so excited to have you there.
I think on this journey, I think so yeah, my god,
I'm gonna live vicariously through you. He said it.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
He said that this was the first time that he
like wasn't nervous for his best friend and his significant
other to like spend time together.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Oh and I'm like, you're not because I am. You're
just You're gonna need to hit that airport bar ahead
of time, couple glasses, a wine, maybe a little gummy,
and we're gonna be good to go.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I know, because when I get nervous, I get like quiet,
so I just feel like I'm just gonna be like
silent all weekend.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Oh my god, you're way too funny and interesting to
buy it. Oh my god, you got like, oh my god,
you gotta wave your wag flag. You just gotta get
it up there. Get so excited. There's so much you
could do with wag. That's such a great acronym. I'm
so excited.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
But I'm like, just like, this is how you bitches
in high school felt right, and that's I love that
for them, but also kind of do I guess I
love that I can have it now.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Oh, like I said, living vicariously, Yeah, Chris through discus
in high school and I was like, wow when he
goes and it's not that great. It was just because
we were the closest field to the parking lot and
I would bring my George Foreman and make hot dogs.
So I'm not a wag, but he's a fisherman.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Sure you're uh, you're a yeah, that's still a wag.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I thought you were gonna go with the part of
gonna do't say that anymore.
Welcome to Buns and Banter, a podcast by work Busties
for work Busties. Hey, I'm Lauren and I'm Ali. We're
both morning show hosts for iHeartMedia. We're both millennials, and
we're both trying to figure out how to build the
lives we dream about, dating, marriage, career, career and being
a mom. How to get through a week without crying.
(00:25):
Welcome to Buns and Banter. We're glad you're here. That's humbly.
I think my thighs are too big to sit cross
legged anymore in these cheers. Yeah, that's all right. It
fits the mood of the weed up there, and it hurts.
I'm gonna sit like a Oh God, just don't watch
this video on YouTube. Welcome to it.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Whoo Okay, So yeah, let's start with you because wow, wow, wow,
I feel like there's a lot to unpack.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Well, I want to start out with a story first,
because I feel like you and I talk so much
about how busy we are, crazy stress we can be,
and like sometimes do it. I feeling I feel like
sometimes you have those moments that remind you like, hey,
you need to slow the fuck down for a second,
and it happened yesterday, and I feel like it almost
(01:17):
I almost died, Oh tell me.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It was a good reminder, but it was also like
a like father son, Holy Spirit, thank you Jesus for
taking the wheel on this. I had so much to
do the other day. I had like a client meeting,
straight into Sophia's preschool open house, straight to flag football
practice and then a birthday party. And it was our anniversary.
And it was our anniversary. Oh yeah, we did absolutely
(01:41):
nothing except all of those things. You shared an umbrella
flag football? What do you mean so romantic? Ce? But
I'm speeding. This is all on me user error. But
I'm like speeding to get from one event to the next.
And I'm taking this the plain Field exit if you're local,
and you know what I mean, right off of ninety
six or whatever that expressway is, I don't know whatever,
(02:04):
And it's a twenty five mile per hour one. It
had started raining and it was too fast, and all
of a sudden, my car like lost control. Oh horrifying,
like shit my pants, horrifying. Yeah, so I could feel
like I was like, oh my god. And I realized
it immediately. That curve came so fast. I was like, shit,
you are going way too fast for this. What are
(02:26):
you doing? This is irresponsible? And my car is just
like hydroplaning, skidding. I'm off like I went off into
the grass, like thank god, missed one of the like
turn signs, the yellow arrows, and I was and then
corrected itself, and I was just like, Okay, that was
a literal life and death reminder. You need to slow
(02:50):
the f down. Yeah, And I just thought to myself, Yeah,
and I thought, oh my, oh my god. Sometimes I
think you and I both like I won't speak for you,
but I think we are going so fast doing all
the things, trying to get all the things done, so
we have like an ounce of energy for ourselves that
sometimes you need a physical reminder, like, bitch, you're going
(03:12):
off the road. You need to like right yourself and
figure this out better. Yeah, isn't that crazy? That is crazy.
It's such an experience. Oh that's so scary. So not
to open like a buzzkill. It was my fault. I
was going too fast. People have told me, Mom, I
bought up a fast driver. But take a second, like
deep breadth in, deep breath out, and give yourself a slowdown.
(03:35):
Did big boss him tell you he spun out in
his Tesla on the way up North a couple weekends ago.
I had no idea. Hmm.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
He totally spun out, Like he said, same thing. He
was on the highway. He wasn't going that fast. It
was somewhere between seventy five and eighty yeah, something on there,
and he just the road was like a little bit wet,
and he just completely he was going straight and then
all of a sudden just hydroplane lost control and spun
into the median, into the like the grass grassy median,
(04:07):
and like, Tesla takes video of everything, right.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I was gonna ask, do is it like talk to
you through the situation? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And then because you like had a not an emergency incident,
but some kind of like you know whatever, for Tesla,
it keeps recording for like the next i don't know,
ten minutes or something, just to like make sure everything's fine.
But he showed us the video. It was super scary.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
So he was going to put new tires on his Tesla.
I don't know if he ended up doing that, but take.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
A second, slow it down, very be very demure.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
About where you're headed on the road, very mindful, very demure.
Some of you aren't when you drive though you're not.
And it's really unfortunate because I have really been trying
to work on my road rage, and it's just it
ain't happening. It ain't happening, No, And I'm so impatient
by the time we leave work, where the road rage
(05:02):
would be worse. I got the way in who we
don't see very many people work good. When I get
out of here, we are very fortunate that on our
way into work, it's usually before five o'clock, so there's
like no one on the road. So like the biggest
gripe is like the lights are red when they don't
need to be, because that's a good you know what.
I yellows are everyone's friend or a blinking red But
(05:26):
just like a regular cycle before five o'clock in the
morning doesn't need to happen. I'm sitting here, I'm wasting time,
I'm late for work. What do we do wing? But
when we get out it's like lunch rush.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah. And I had the absolute.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Pleasure of being on twenty eighth Street at around four
thirty five o'clock. Oh god, And I had to get
from twenty eighth Street in Cascade over to Grandville. Oh,
and I took and I was like, ain't no way,
I'm taking twenty eighth street. There are I have a
(05:59):
list of a one hundred things I'd rather do besides
take twenty eighth straight between four and five o'clock. So
I was like, I'll take forty fourth.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Oh yeah, oh look at the faith.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It was such a stressful drive. I don't know if
it's just because we're not used to rush hour traffic.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I yeah, I never remember I have to share the road,
my god, Like people don't use their blinkers. People just
like cut into your lane without People go like twenty
five miles an hour in a forty five zone, and
then you're stopped at all these lights. Why are there
so many lights? Like you can't even.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Get fifty feet no before you hit another light on
forty fourth Street. It's like yes, And it just I
was so stressed out and I had such a headache
when I was done with that that I like, I
got home and I went to bed like almost immediately,
and I woke up the next morning.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
With a headache.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Oh girl, yep, And I thought I was getting sick
because then I got hot and I was like, oh
my god, I'm getting a fever. Oh my god, I
have the new COVID. Oh my god, how.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Did I you know?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
But I was fine. I think I was just like
I worked myself up.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
God, because where I'm at, because I'm a couple of
years older than you, i'd be like, holy shit, on
top of everything else, I'm ParaMed apozzle, not demure, not
not mindful? Am I doing it right? I warned to
Ali before we started this, I said, I'm gonna sound
like a senior citizen here because this is a huge
TikTok trend right now. And I don't know if we're
(07:38):
I saw the original video, yeah, and it's like, are
we really being demure? Or are we ironic about the
demure it?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Ty?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I think that's what's so fascinating about the Internet and
these trends is that it just like kind of evolves
into like whatever you want. Some of them are really funny, Yes,
some of them are really funny. But if you're are unfamiliar,
there is a TikTok influencer who just like coined this
phrase and has like a large number of videos basically
(08:10):
like teaching people like see how I do my makeup
for work, very demure, very mindful. I think, just to
point out, like how crazy the world has become, Like
do we need to be going to work in our
rave clothes?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
We don't. We're gonna set that ground.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
We're gonna wear our cardigan and our crocs, very demure,
very mindful.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I don't know if I'm I don't even have a mind.
When I get up, I'm literally like, I think these
pants are clean. I bought this at Target for five
dollars yesterday and put it on. Do you love it? Yeah? Nice?
It's comfy that I'm here for comfort. I've said that
to you. I only get my lashes done because it
gives me an extra thirty minutes of sleep. High maintenance
to be low maintenance. Oh that's that is a bunch
(08:55):
of banner t shirt. I didn't come up with it. TikTok.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
You can find everything on TikTok. Yeah, high maintenance to
be low maintenance. You know, like, yeah, the girls who
get their like eyebrows like microbladed and get like eyelashes
and stuff, because then you don't have to put makeup
on like ever, and you're just like good to go
like it's a rather high maintenance I guess cost and
(09:22):
time appointment, but it saves you so much time and
money in the long run.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
So I'm a demure you are Oh, I'll tell you
what was not demure. I've been waiting for this. I haven't.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I've not gotten your I've been waiting for this. I
saw the video.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I have not gotten your in real life response to this,
only because you were you were person ooh, you were
person number three besides my husband and another coworker to
know about what happened out on that water.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Lauren and I parked in to each other in the
basement every day, every single day, and she gets here
before I do. So when I pull in, I like
see her car and I'm like, Okay, my person's here.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I can do another day. Oh I feel that same way.
Yeah I do. I'm like, she's gonna be here soon.
I've only got to hold it together for another four minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
So I pull into work last week or this week,
yeah on Wednesday, yes, was days ago.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
This is fresh.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And usually if she's gonna take time off vacation or otherwise,
she's like, hey, I'm not going to be here, so
take your pills before you come in tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And her car wasn't.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Here, and I was like, this was not a scheduled
day off.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Nope, nothing that happened with scheduled.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So I was going to text you, except I thought
maybe you had taken like a personal day, and I was.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Like, good for her, I wish, I wish, and Nope.
Instead I texted Ali. I said, hey, if you want
to get together and podcast this week, I shit in
a tackle box and I'd be happy to talk about it.
That's the best tease. Pooped in a tackle box. I
would like to say. It is probably rock bottom for me.
(11:10):
It's easily the most mortifying thing that's ever happened. So
we have a fishing boat. Chris is a big fisherman,
and it's been in the shop since March for repairs.
Finally got it back late last week and I was
having a really tough day earlier this week and I
talked to Chris about it from work. So I get
home and he surprised me. He's like, I've packed a lunch,
(11:32):
I've packed beverages. The kids are good to go. We're
gonna go have a boat day. The water is perfect.
We can even go out on the big lake. Lake
Michigan is like glass. I've chucked the buoys and it
was amazing. We went out. We found this great little
dune beach. Nobody was there. I love it. Yeah, the
highs are high and the lows are low. Because we
(11:56):
left later in the afternoon and my son Will really
wanted to fish and see the sunset. And Chris was like,
the water is honestly calm enough. We could stay out
there till sunset. I'm like, oh my god, this is
so great. So it's about seven fifteen pm. We are
out on Lake Michigan. I feel like this is important
because a lot of people gave me like things I
could have done to avoid pooping in a tackle box.
(12:18):
We were in the middle Lake Michigan, depth one hundred
feet scary and like once you get out of the boat,
we have like we don't really have a ladder to get.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Back into a fishing boat. It's a fishing boat. It's
not like a speedboat or like.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
A pontoon anything like that. Yeah, there's lines everywhere. And
so I'm sitting there and it's been about an hour
of some tummy issues. Hot girls have tummy problems, and
I was like, oh, man, okay, so maybe we should
wrap it up pretty soon, and boom, brick wall has hit.
Things are coming. They are coming quick, quicker than anticipated.
And I turned around to Chris. I'm like, man, I'm
(12:54):
gonna shit my pants and he goes, oh, I'll start
pulling lines and I'm like, no, no, we do not
have that time anymore. He said, I'm gonna go like
right now, and he just like goes white in the face,
like I don't I don't know what to tell you.
And I go, oh my god, I'm gonna need you
to pick whatever tackle box is the least important to you,
(13:16):
and I'm gonna need you to look away. And I
emptied out a tackle box and went to the front
of the boat. It was literally the scene from Bridesmaids.
You did what you needed to do. Literally, it was
lava alley. It was lava. It was so awful. And
my kids are there and they keep turning around and
Chris is like, guys, look at the big fish out there.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And I'm like, don't look at me, don't look at me.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And it's just like it overflowed out of the tackle box.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
No, I ruined you beach her lady.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It was. It was horrendous. Then you have to dump
your receipt and rinse it in Lake Michigan. Because Chris
is Polish, so he's not gonna buy a new tackle box.
He's just gonna sanitize and reuse this one. And I'm
just like, oh my god, there was so much it
showed up on his fishbinderlake. He's standing there and he's like,
(14:09):
oh my god, babe, I'm so sorry because I know
that this is just the worst experience for you. He goes,
but literally, your poop looks like bait in the lake
right now. And I didn't have toilet paper or anything.
So I just sat like that, got myself together.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What did we What did we do to the universe?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
What did we do? What did we do? Three three
other neighboring boats watched that happen because I saw them.
I'm saw them, and you know what, all respect to
the Lake Michigan fishermen because they knew what was happening,
and I saw them all like turn around like, oh no,
this has got me worse, and it was just it
was the worst experience. I may never I don't know
(14:48):
if I'll ever go on a boat again. I was
so scared. I am so sorry. I cannot believe I
shit in a tackle box. Where was the home depot bucket? Exactly?
And that's we drove all the way back into the
doc complete silence. We like, get the boat hitched up,
complete silence. We get in the truck. We're driving for
about five ten minutes back home, and Christas turns me Eagles,
(15:11):
you know, this is the first time I've forgotten the
home depot bucket. And I'm really sorry. Even fashion into
toilet seat for the home depot bucket. I'm fine with
the home depot bucket. That little tackle box kaboodle thing
had no space for what I was about to unload.
It was horrible. So I took the next day off
because it was started on the boat at seven pm,
(15:33):
went until about seven am the next morning. Oh no
idea what it was. I felt perfectly fine afterwards. I
don't we all ate the same stuff. But and it
wasn't even like motion sickness. The lake was crystal calm.
It was so nice. I would know because had there
been waves that shit would have gotten everywhere. Yeah, it
(15:54):
was awful. I am so sorry. I appreciate that. And
then We had a wonderful talk back message on our
iHeart radio app that came in, and this wonderful listener said,
I just want to ask SCHMITTI if what happened on
the Fishminder was a crappy or a brown trout. It
was like Michael too soon, Michael not solid enough to
(16:15):
be a brown trout. So yeah, well, you know it
was something. I bet Chris doesn't forget the home Deeper
boocket ever again, but he doesn't glass half fall. I
bet I bet that also never happens to you again.
That never. That's in a one.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
That's a once in a lifetime. That's that is also
you know, it was close to your anniversary as that
happened as well, and as I recall, what was it
not cholera, but what was the the in College Dale
manella salmonella.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You guys, you guys have a believably bad strain. This
is a this is a theme. I just thought to myself,
I was like, oh my god. At one point, it's
just so bad you have to laugh, like I'm sitting
and it's just like where was Katie with the gas leaf?
Get Out? Get Out? I believe it's like six episodes ago.
If you guys want to track back on the buns
(17:10):
and banners. I just thought to myself, like, it gets
so bad, you're laughing, right, It's coming out of me
like water. And I look at Chris and I'm just like,
thank god we're married, because you're stuck here. If this
was like a first date, I would have taken myself
overboard and risked the swim back to shore one hundred percent, Like,
thank god he's been with me nine years and is
(17:30):
not fazed by the fact that I had just the
worst explosive diary in my life inside his fishing box,
that is. I will say, though, and maybe ask this TMI.
We have not done it since.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
There was give it some time, there was no anniversary happening.
Give it, give it some time, give it some time.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You know, you just think.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You you think you know someone after you've been married
for a while. But every once in a while you
get to peel back a new layer and layer, you
get to experience new things together. That's yeah, that's that's
a mile, so you feel closer.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
We'll say that something. Yeah, for sure sat pretty far
away for the rest of that ride. But that's just
a personal thing.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, so has he also fashioned some sort of like
toilet paper holder to the side of the home depot bucket,
because I imagine if the bucket wasn't there, neither was
the TP.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah. He has actually spent the last couple days in
his spare time really putting together a bit of a
bathroom rig. So that was kind. I think that's technically
my anniversary gift is the bathroom rigs. The bathroom rig
for this nice, isn't that? Yeah, that's that's odd. I
didn't think i'd be here someday. Life comes at you fast.
(18:44):
Life comes at you fast. Can you think of the
most embarrassing place you've had to poop? I just one
has the story. I don't know what I would do.
I don't know what I would do. Yeah, but that's
and you don't have time to think. And I did
not have time to think. I'm like you.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I think you did the best that you could do,
though for the situation. God like, it was either that
or just like what in the middle of the boat.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
And there's it would have there's no way, there was
so so much, but I felt skinny us all afterwards. Yeah. Yeah,
you're only one bat boat right away from your goal weight.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Always speaking of relationship milestones, Oh, congrats to you on yours,
Thank you, thank you. I hope that in I hope
that doesn't happen to me ever. But you know, how
long have you and Chris been together?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
This will be married nine years. We've been together since
two thousand and seven. Okay, yeah, so give us some time,
give us some time. Eventually you will be pooping in
front of Jimmy too. I don't think so, but I am.
I am. We're going on our first flyaway trip together.
(19:54):
Oh that's huge.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Congratulations to the Grand Rapids Grizzlies men lacrosse team for
making it to nationals.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh hell yeah, yeah. I finally got.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
To see Yimmy play lacrosse.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Is he super hot doing it? I feel like lacrosse
players are really hot. Yeah. Oh hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Good for you if you can get it, if you
can watch your significant other play like the sport that
they're really good at. And he's like really really good.
And he played at Davenport in college and he was
like captain of the team. He was all American. Like
I've been just chomping at the bit to see him
play lacrosse, and like the season has been a couple
months this summer and like I haven't been allowed to
(20:35):
come to a game, and I'm like, I'm like why why,
Like I don't get it. Well, I finally get it
because these games are like they're physical and they talk
shit and I love it.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I love it so much. I love watching lacrosse. It
is such an intense, intensely physical game.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, and this is box lacrosse, so it's indoor. So yeah,
so like the field or or court or whatever is
much smaller and it's inside and it is just like
way more physical and I love it.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Oh my god, I have nothing to with a second. No,
I know.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
So they're going to Nationals. Their team is like really good.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
That's amazing because they're all like ex college players or
current college players or like some of them are like
making a look at like the Professional Lacrosse League like
PL so they're like these are this is some high
level and I don't know shit about lacrosse.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
So I'm just like, oh, we're clapping right, let me
make sure it's.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The right people. You'd be so good at the shit
talking now, I know.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I actually like that's one of my that's one of
the things that I started doing during the first game
that I've ever been allowed to come to, is like
I write down their chirps to each other because they're
just they're so funny, and none of them I can
repeat because they're it's bad, and like it's funny to
me because all of these guys are in their like
upper twenties and thirties, some of them are in their
(22:00):
early twenties maybe, so I know that, like all of
these guys have office jobs that they're going back to
on Monday, oh with like bruises and cuts and scrapes,
Like they fight, they fight and they talk shit, and
I'm like, this is so funny to me that you
guys are like so buttoned up at your office jobs
like Monday through Friday, and then you get to play
lacrosse on the weekends and just like get a little.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Bit off the leash. Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
So we're going to Nationals, which are in upstate New York,
and not only will this be our first time flying
and like going on like traveling together. We got a
hotel room like a couple minutes away from where they're
gonna play. Not only that, but his best friend who
lives in New York, who I've never met in person.
(22:46):
I've met him like once on FaceTime. Is also coming.
Oh wow, right, so I'm gonna get to spend a
lot of time with him on supervise. And then I
was talking to Jimmy last night about this and I'm like, hey,
is the best he like staying for the entire tournament
(23:08):
all weekend. He's like yeah, And I'm like, oh, he's
staying with us in the hotel room Disney and He's like,
which is fine. Like I'm totally cool with that. I'm
totally I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Totally chill and totally cool. But now I'm like, I'm nervous.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
That is a very I'm nervous.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
So it's like first flyaway, meeting best friend and then
cohabitating for a weekend with best friend. Those are big milestones.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
And this is like the first time that I'm gonna
be hanging out with like his lacrosse friends and like
their wives that are going to this, and like it's
just like a lot of new things all at once.
And I'm totally coping and I don't feel awkward and
I feel totally good and great and not anxious at all.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Take your pills. Take the pills. Take the pills. I'm
so excited for you though, also like Upstate New York.
This sounds like, I don't know, a gorgeous start to
a Hallmark movie or something. You're gonna make best friends
with all the wives, Like you're gonna have all these
new experiences and just fabulous time together, and you're gonna
get to watch him like kick the shit out of
people in his desired sport. I know, I am like
(24:20):
so excited about that. He should make a T shirt.
But I, oh, I have his other jerseys. Oh my god,
that's so cute. I have his other jerseys. That's real sweet.
Speaker 2 (24:30):

I hope we can play really well, and like I
hope we can win it all because we've had a
look at like the Championship Championship a few times and
like we've lost in the semis and then we've lost
in like the championship game, and like I just like
I really hope we can win it this year. It's
a really special group. The guys are really good and
(25:21):
we have a really good team chemistry. And I was like, oh,
is it not like a for sure thing that you'll win.

sad lost feelings. I just assumed like if we're going, we're.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
