Speaker 2 (00:04):
Welcome to another episode of Two Generations, one
Mic.
My name is Andy and I'm herewith my husband, mark, and
today's episode is called Idon't know, I wasn't even born
yet.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Now, yes, and the reason that it's called that is
because we've explained beforein our backgrounds.
I spent the majority of mycareer in television and radio
and so many people that she'llmeet now will know me from that
and they will always come up andtry to reference things to her.
Oh, do you remember when he didthis on the radio or on
(00:38):
television, or this or this?
And it was a lot of referencesfrom the 80s and 90s, and she's
like I wasn't even born yet.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I mean, yeah, I was born in 88.
, but of course I don't rememberhim being like this personality
in the 80s and 90s.
I was like what, two, three andyeah, that usually gets them.
They're like wait what?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, you have no concept of a lot of references
that they're making, especiallymusical references or things
like that.
You just don't get it.
We have this discussion all thetime about music because, like,
one of the big things in the80s was, uh, especially the
clubs were like industrial dancemusic.
You call it satan's musicthat's satan's music, bro.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I'm telling you it's horrible right?
Well it's, it's an offense tothe people that like that music,
but it's like I just went toEast Berlin or something in the
80s and it's just like a bunchof random noises and See, that's
what my generation could alsosay about your music EDM.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's very similar.
I think it's just the EDM isthe industrial music in the
generation for today.
It's a lot of beats, it's justa lot of music.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, but then it's you dance to it.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Well, you do that too , they dance to it.
That was actually calleddancing, what they did in the
80s and 90s, just a bunch ofnonsense.
Well, yeah, but at that timethe X helped you know at that
time.
You mean time the x helped, youknow at that time because you
mean like ecstasy.
Yeah, because that was actuallyillegal.
(02:12):
I I'm old enough to rememberwhen x was legal they actually
when it was first made, they putit into it was like just in
jars on the bar you could walkup and grab some x that was
legal and pop some so well, likepeople just had like peanuts
right there.
Well, you people weren't stupidenough to eat a handful of them.
But you go get some x orwhatever.
It was totally legal in the inthe club when it first started
and then they outlawed it,obviously I think I think this
(02:32):
is how bad I am with drugs nowbecause I don't do them, but I
think in x what molly is todayto your generation I wouldn't
know you don't do the molly Idon't do the molly I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I'm sleeping at 7 pm you think I will be doing molly
no, that's true.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
That's true.
You are not uh but uh.
So there's a lot of things thathave to do with our different
generation.
Because I'm 25 years older thanyou, that you don't get uh yeah
, that's for sure yeah like.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I don't.
I don't get that like at all.
Also, I don't get how you guyssurvived without maps.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I mean like Google Maps Without Google Maps or
Apple Maps or someone talking toyou in the car.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, like, how do you guys manage to get places?
I just feel like I don't knowhow you guys managed to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well, we had someone talking to us in the car telling
us where to go.
It just wasn't a computer voice.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It was a person.
What if you didn't have aperson?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Well then you had to pull over to a gas station, you
had to go get a map, a paper map, and then you tried not to kill
yourself by reading it whileyou were driving your car.
So you would pull over and tryto figure out on this map, where
the hell am I at?
Okay, I'm here, I got to get tohere.
What do you have to do?
That was old school style, andwe also one of the things that I
used to get so frustrated fromyou, because you would never not
know how to get anywhere if youweren't listening to a computer
telling you where to go.
(03:51):
I always say you know you couldread the street signs on the
freeways and figure it out too.
that no, that's dangerous well,that's why they're there no,
like I.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Like today, when we were driving, I was like like,
look at the map.
And you're like I cannot looklike the screen in our car.
You know like, look at thescreen.
He's asking me direction.
I'm like, no, look at thescreen.
I can't look at the screen.
And the same time I'm lookingand I'm driving, I'm like what
do you mean?
Like yes, you can, you justmultitask.
And he's like, no, I can't.
(04:21):
I'm like, oh gosh, see, I don'tknow how you're still alive
driving with normal maps andjust getting places.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, I got there.
I mean, it's taken you longer,but you still got there.
Yeah, but there's a lot oflittle instances like that where
you just don't understand howwe did things or how we still do
things.
Or like yesterday, you broughtyour little play toy here.
I actually opened a can oftomato sauce with this and at
first this is the cutest thingin the world because I picked it
up.
I actually pulled it off ourfridge because it stays there,
(04:51):
because you can see she opensher beers with this.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I thought it was a beer opener all this time all
this time beer opener.
I was like, okay, that's cool,it's very practical.
But I took it off.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I took it off the refrigerator to open a can of
tomato sauce.
She she goes what are you doing?
I said I'm opening the tomatosauce.
She goes with that, With thebeer opener.
I said no, that's what thisside is for.
You use this side, you make onebig hole, you make a smaller
hole.
So, physics, it flows faster.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I thought this was a beer opener and this was a pokey
beer opener.
A pokey beer opener opener, apokey beer opener?
I don't know, maybe if you, Idon't know what.
I never thought there was a canopener.
I I'm used to like the normalcan opener, but this was amazing
.
Thank you for showing me that,like if one day we're
post-apocalyptic and I need tojust open bowls and cans.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
There you go it's almost as cute as one of the
very first things that she didwhen we first got together.
We've been together for 10years well, together for 12,
married for 10 and one of thecutest things I'd ever seen in
my life was she went into mykitchen, went into our kitchen
or my kitchen at the time, andshe literally looked in the sink
and she goes what is this?
What is this?
(05:59):
I said what is what?
Yes, peace.
I said the garbage disposal.
Yes, yes, what is this?
She, he goes this.
I said the garbage disposal.
She goes yes, what is this?
She had no concept of what agarbage disposal was.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I mean, I don't think that's a generational thing, I
think that's a cultural thing,because where I grew up, in
Mexico City, you don't havegarbage disposals because the
drain can't handle it right.
It's just like in New York City, when we lived in new york city
manhattan in manhattan, wedidn't have one and oh it was so
mad.
Like in europe, we don't haveone in spain, and that to me
(06:32):
says freedom, that to me saysamerica when you have a garbage
disposal.
That to me, is like I'm righthere, where the freedom is made
well, also to the other.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
The reason they don't have them is because the
plumbing is so old.
Of course you know our buildingin Spain was built in the 1800s
, yeah, so everything is verymuch older there and the systems
can't handle it.
Same thing with New York.
Those are old structures andthey can't handle it.
I would guess probably the samething in Mexico City.
That's right.
If it's a new structure withnew plumbing that's associated
with it, then you physicallycouldn't work right.
(07:05):
It would clog everything up.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But we make it work.
I mean, even with the agedifference, we make it work
because I'm like an older soul Ithink he is the one that wants
to go out and I'm like can wejust stay home, like why do you
have to go out?
And for us, going out is kindof like just going out to have a
(07:26):
couple drinks at 7 pm, unlesswe're in Spain.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Well no, in Spain it's 7 pm.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Here it's happy hour 5, 6 o'clock.
Because here, if it's earlierthan that, people judge you.
In America, people judge you ifyou drink earlier than that.
But that's a whole otherepisode and I just think we make
it work because you're like theone that parties.
Let's say I'm the young soulyou're the young soul and I'm
like and you're your mom already.
(07:52):
I want to have dinner at 3 pmand I just want to be in bed by
7 and just sleep 12 hours yeah,we, her mother lives with us, uh
, in spain.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And your mother is how old?
71 so she's 71 years old.
She lives with us in spain.
She grew up in mexico city, sheum, she doesn't speak a lot of
english, uh, so that's alsoreally fun so, um, she has this
uh way, she's always lived herlifestyle.
Uh, and so her.
She gets up in the morning, sheeats morning, her breakfast is
(08:26):
at 11 am and her dinner is at3-ish, 3.30, sometimes 2, 2.30.
That's it.
She does not eat another meallater.
Oh, she eats, snackies, she eatssnacks, but she doesn't eat a
meal and so she likes us to eatwith her, tries to eat with us,
and I cannot tell you how manyarguments we've had, because
(08:48):
we've had.
You know, we have work, we havebusiness, we have meetings,
we're out, we're doing thingsand we're like, okay, we're not
going to be back until like 4,30 or 5, and she's like, oh, I
can't eat at that hour.
That's crazy.
She just loses her mind ifwe're not eating by 4, 30 or 5.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
So she's already in bed by 7, right?
Well, she's already in bed by 7.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Right Well, she's already in bed by 5.
She wants to eat her dinner at3 and be in her pajamas by 5.
And then when we're out ifwe're out, god forbid we're
going out at 7, 7.30 or 8, she'scalling you an alcoholic,
because how dare we be out solate?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, but I also don't like that.
I really enjoy being at homewith you, the puppies.
We have three puppies, twosenior dogs.
Well, the three of them aresenior, basically now 15, 14,
and 10.
And I just like that.
I like to be watching TV,cuddling with you guys, and to
me, that's the moment where Ithink this is it, this is family
(09:42):
to me.
We don't have kids together, soto me, this is it.
This is family to me.
This we don't have kidstogether.
Uh, so to me, this is family.
This is the moment that I enjoyand I feel like if we go out,
it disrupts that.
I mean, when I was younger,believe me, I I worked at
nightclubs, so I really I spentso many nights working in the
(10:03):
service industry.
That is just so.
You enjoy sleeping a lot.
When you leave that industry,like you like to just stay in.
You hate the noise.
I don't like noisy places, Ithink since COVID probably Like
crowds.
I can't take crowds anymore, ormaybe I'm getting older.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I don't know.
Maybe think both.
When you were 18, you start offas a bartender.
You were bartending in a gaybar in mexico city and it didn't
even open till one.
Stayed open from one in themorning till seven in the
morning 8 am, 8 am.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Sometimes I was like people just go home, like nobody
loves you at home, like come on, go.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
And I mean the tips were great, uh but your light,
your body clock got on thatschedule where you're working
from one to eight in the morning, exactly at a bar.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So since I was like working on the weekends.
I was going out in the middleof the week and I was.
It was just not.
I don't know.
I enjoy sleeping now.
I enjoy staying in and justwatching the tv and sleep when I
want to sleep and I lovesleeping.
I am one person that I could belike sleeping on the floor
until tomorrow.
I don't.
(11:12):
Yeah, you're a cat now yousleep like a cat.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It's amazing and I don't like to when we say go, go
out beautifully yes, well, uh,when I like to go out, I don't
ever like.
It's never, never a thing whereI'm going.
Let's go out.
We're going to the club at 11o'clock and that's not my thing.
No, it's more like let's go tohappy hour.
We'll go somewhere, we'll havesome cocktails and then we're
still home in time for the baby.
738 o'clock.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I think the last time we went to a club we were in
Singapore, remember yes, we werein Singapore, and I sometimes
when I drink, I the devil takesover and I just want, I swear, I
can party all night, I swear.
But then it's midnight and I'mlike drunk and tired and I'm
like I can't do this anymore.
And um, we were in singapore andthere was this, uh, really nice
(11:57):
nightclub called the marqueeyes which they have one in vegas
, one in singapore and we, Itold him, let's, let's just
party, let's go to the club.
We're in Singapore.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well, that was, yeah, it was fun, but it was like
what time we had to be there.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Well, yeah, the way it works at these clubs, though
that are this high end is eitherthere's two choices you go
stand in this very, very longline to get in, or you have to
buy a table.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Now, what that entails is we're buying a table
which means we have to buy twobottles of liquor.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, and these bottles.
So we had to buy two bottles ofliquor, I don't know.
I think it cost us about $800.
It's about $800 that we get atable, we get our mixers and we
get bottles of alcohol and wehave our own dedicated waiter
and that's kind of what thething is.
So we get there early againbecause we don't want to get
(12:58):
there super late.
So it's roughly like 10, 30,right, 10, 30, 11.
And we're there, we get ourlittle area set up, we get our
little private area, we get ourtable and everything.
And Andy's starting to feel itand she's like wanting to dance
and the music she's.
I've got some great videos ofher.
I call her super sweet moveswhere she's just dancing.
Uh, I don't even know what thatdance would be called.
(13:19):
I thought she was having aseizure, but the she's dancing
and I was trying to shuffle shutup yeah, that's, that's what
that was.
So she's doing that and she'sstarting to get more frustrated
by the minute because, if youremember, we had not been in
clubs in a while and we didn'trealize that.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I think last time we were there was when we were
dating.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, so we haven't realized that.
I guess Gen Z people they don'tgo there and start dancing.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, what's wrong with you people?
You guys are not dancinganymore.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
They just go to.
The whole floor was covered byGen Z people, especially a lot
of the girls, and all they weredoing they were just on their
cell phone standing on the dancefloor on their cell phone.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Meanwhile, the music was great.
Like Eminem is playing and it'sjust all the right songs.
Like people are not dancing,they're not even talking,
they're just on their phones.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, so what's that about?
She goes.
This is very depressing.
Is that like that?
In everywhere in the world?
She goes.
This is so depressing.
I know I can't get my groove onhere.
Here I got my sweet moves goingand nobody's joining me.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I was having my sweet moves and nobody's dancing.
What's wrong with these people?
So I had a brilliant plan.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah.
So I thank God, I cause I drinkBacardi like it's water.
So I had a bottle of Bacardithere and you had gin, I think.
But I told, I told our waiter.
I said, go get me two gianttrays of shot glasses, bring
some like peach snobs and alsobring a like this J was seven up
or whatever chasers or whatever.
(14:48):
I said, bring that and yourshaker, we're going to make
shots.
And so we started making thesegiant trays of shots and I said,
okay, here, Andy, it's going tobe creepy for me to be doing it
, Cause that looks weird.
Hey you, a girl, a young girl,come here and have a shot.
I don't look like a creeperthat's trying to take you and
hide you in a trunk somewhere.
So I said what I would do.
(15:09):
I know what am I P Diddy.
So, I said look, you do thispart and I'm going to follow
behind you and I'm just going tovideotape.
And so I used my iPhone and Ijust started shooting video.
And so she went down with thesetrays of things and she just
started going and she justbasically just took charge of
the dance floor and walked inthere and was like all right
girls, get off your cell phones.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You look miserable, you need a shot.
I was like Oprah you need ashot, you get a shot, everybody
gets a shot.
And also, the guys were likewhat?
I mean, I don't know if theyspoke English or not, probably
yes, but all these girls look somiserable, like if I was on a
date.
Like if I was on a date, likeif we were dating and that was
our date, I would be.
(15:50):
I don't know, I don't think Iwould be no, no, but it worked
because you had everybody andall the girls are drinking shots
and they started going and Istarted going behind them shots
shots, shots and they starteddoing shots and they're chanting
shots and they're chanting usa,usa and so like it was great.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
So when you got and they, they were USA, usa, and so
like it was great.
So when you got and they, theywere all dead and all of a
sudden everybody started dancingon the floor and everything,
and we started to walk off and Ijust looked at the manager and
I went you're welcome, and wewalked off and went back to our
area.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
And it was midnight.
And then we're back at thehotel because you know we're
older people and um yeah, Ourwork is done here and we went
back to the Four Seasons.
That was fun.
That was a fun night, but thatwas the last time we went to a
nightclub and I can't evenimagine doing that every week.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
But that's why our gap works in that.
Yeah, it doesn't work that muchin other things, like
technology-wise.
You drive me crazy, yes.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well, and technology and technology wise, you move
too fast.
Sometimes you're just doing 8000 things at once, and that's
the other thing is you.
You do have weaver distress,you have add, and we look at
things two different ways.
I, when we have a laundry listof things to do, I make a list
and I knock one out.
I mark it off.
Next thing mark it off and I godown the list, so everything
(17:11):
gets accomplished.
You do 20 things at one timeand don't finish any of them.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I'm multitasking.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, but you don't finish the project.
So at the end of the thing Ihave to come behind you and go.
Did you finish this?
Oh, no, no.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I haven't done that, oh no, no, I haven't finished
that.
Here's how my brain works, abrain with ADD.
I have a deadline of let's saysomething that is a week from
now.
I'll start it today, but Idon't finish it until the day is
due, because I know I have thetime and in the process I can do
other things because that's notdue yet.
So I always finish by the datethat it needs to be done.
(17:49):
It's just, I perform underpressure.
I like the pressure.
That's why, when we're atairports, I get there.
I know it right.
I like the pressure, I like therush, I like the adrenaline
yeah I?
I if our flight leaves at 9 30in the morning, I like to like
to get there at 8.45 am.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, that's crazy.
So that's a whole other thingis us in the airports because we
travel a lot, so we're alwaysflying.
And, oh my gosh, when Tiffanygoes with us sometimes because
my daughter Tiffany works for ussometimes she'll fly.
It's three differentmentalities when it comes to
flying.
I want to get to the airportroughly an hour and a half, two
(18:31):
hours early.
Check in.
If we're checking luggage, wetry not to.
But if we have to check luggage, if we're doing it for a long
trip, we check luggage.
I want to check luggage, get tothe next spot, get through
security, and we always havefast paths through security.
So we go through that reallyfast.
And then my thing is let's goto the lounge.
I want to go to the lounge.
I want to get my free alcohol.
(18:52):
I don't care what time it is.
By the way, if you're a worldtraveler, there's no time in
airports.
So if you're having.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I have one at 7.30 in the morning.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's like Vegas.
There's no time in airports.
So I'll get a glass of wine andwe'll chill.
We'll get on the internet,we'll do some work, but I want
to relax and okay, we have thismuch time.
We're going to be firstboarding anyway.
Let's stroll down, but why?
And we get on and we're in ourplane and we get situated and we
have everything ready to go.
She, on the other hand, shewants to run to barely catch the
(19:23):
flight every single time.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Because who wants to be at an airport for four hours
like why?
Why do you want to just bedoing nothing when you can
utilize your time being moreproductive?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
or maybe sleeping in another hour.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I don't know why do you have to be there, why you
can have wine at the plane.
You don't have to have wine, Ican have both there's no reason
I can't have both.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
There's no limit.
Nobody's gonna steal your seatright.
But then you get to what youjust said.
Who wants to do it?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Tiffany's on the far end of that spectrum, my poor
Tiffany.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Tiffany's idea is she wants to sit at the gate two
hours ahead of time and shestill thinks she's going to miss
the flight.
That's the whole thing withTiffany.
That's Tiffany.
She's worried she's going tomiss the flight and she's been
at the gate for two hours.
Yes, so that's the threedivisions of our travel.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
But I like that, I like the rush, I like I mean to
be fair sometimes I really thinkI'm not going to make it, but I
always make it, except whenit's a connection that I missed
because I don't know.
Jfk was too busy and then Imissed my connection because we
took off late.
But that was on me, that was onthe pilots and the air traffic
control people, not my fault.
(20:31):
I just like the pressure, Ilike the rush, the adrenaline,
and you hate that about me.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
No, I don't like that at all.
I don't like that at all.
I want to be calm, relaxed.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I have a glass of wine, get in my seat, relax.
Yet when we have to gosomewhere, you always, you are
always.
Oh gosh, this drives me crazyabout this guy when we leave the
house, when, we leave the house, I sort of got like if I tell
him, babe, we have to be atsomewhere at I don't know 5 pm.
Okay, it's 4's 4.30.
We're about to leave.
Oh wait, I have to go to thebathroom.
(21:05):
Is that a man thing?
Like every time we have toleave the house, you have to go
pee.
It's like in your brain boom,we're leaving, I got to go pee.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Well, it wouldn't be bad if it was just having to go
pee.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Or sometimes he goes you know what I really need to
do right now shave my arms.
I'm like, oh, are you shavingyour arms?
Right, we are leaving in fiveminutes.
You're half naked.
He's like, wait, well, I hadsome, some hair in my.
I'm like nobody cares, you havehair in your arms at this point
, like who cared you know howmuch these tattoos cost.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I want to show them off babe, your hair is blonde.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You can see it through the hair, you're fine
yes, but it drives me insane.
Or if you have to go pick me upsomewhere.
I'm like, do you leave thehouse already?
Well, no, because you know, Ihad to take the puppies out to
pee and then I had to go peemyself and I was like, and shave
.
I guess like, why can't younever be on time?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I can be on time.
Sometimes it's just, I don, Idon't know, at the last second I
feel like I have to getsomething done.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Gosh drives me crazy.
I, on the other hand, try to beon time.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, that doesn't happen either.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I mean because I think that there's not going to
be traffic in my head.
I'm fine, I'm looking at themap, but sometimes that changes.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But yeah, because when you plan things, you plan
things for the last minute.
You plan things thinking thateverything's going to work the
way it's supposed to work.
And what do I always tell youwhen planning?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
You always have to allow for other people to fuck
up.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Exactly when you make your plans, always anticipate
someone else that you're relyingon is going to fuck up
somewhere in the solution.
So plan on if they fuck up.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I'm allowing myself that's you manifesting it, but
no, how many times have you been, and I'm not mansplaining that
to you no, manifesting it.
Oh, manifesting it.
Oh, thank you for okay.
Now you're mansplaining it.
Oh, thank you for Okay, nowyou're mansplaining it.
Now I'm mansplaining you.
No, what?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I'm saying is, especially when you go somewhere
and you're on a deadline,you're like, oh, I'm going to
get this, this, this.
How many times when you were,like, entering warehouses in LA,
when you're shipping stuffaround, like, oh yeah, and I
have the truck coming to get allthe pallets on this time at two
o'clock and at the airport atfive to get on our flight, I'm
like you didn't allow for anextra day for them to be late
for picking up a truckload ofpallets.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
See, there you go, you jinxed it.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
No, but that's not me .
It's like I'm telling you youhave to allow, because every
single time I've told you thatI'm like what happened?
Well, they're late.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Well, every single time, because you're like my mom
, you're like oh, you're goingto get sick.
Boom, you get sick.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
No, I just anticipate things could happen and I plan
for what if that happens.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Then it happens.
Why did we win the lottery?
Say it.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
You don't say it with good enough intention.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
You just like me to fail.
So you're right.
So, yeah, that definitely doeshappen.
Yeah, that's.
That's another thing.
And also, again, like we said,like with the technology right,
like we with technology gosh,when I try to tell you sometimes
, like, babe, like you getfrustrated with technology,
right, like there was this timethat he broke an atm because,
(24:21):
okay, so my, so my husband isWreck-It Ralph.
If something is going to break,it's because he touched it and
his daughter, tiffany, inheritedthat.
So they're my both Wreck-ItRalph, right.
So he usually breaks thingsjust by touching them.
Technology with him it neverworks.
When I take over,flawlesslylessly, it works,
(24:45):
perfect.
And I don't know, I don't knowwhy is that?
You guys break things.
And that time you were sofrustrated with the atm and you
we were, I think, in dallas inan atm and then you were just so
yelling at it and then at theend, like it got your card,
didn't give your card back, Idon't know.
You broke the ATM and I waslike, if you just calm down, let
(25:07):
the machine think for a second,it will be fine, but no, you
broke it.
And with the computer it's thesame thing.
I'm like calm down, drag thefile to your desktop.
No, you want to do it so fastthat you're just not able to
just click and drag.
You're double-clicking, or likewhen you have to double-click,
(25:28):
you just click, click.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I can't handle the double-click.
It just drives me crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
It's like I never get that right.
It's one click, click, click ordouble-click.
It's like different pacing ofstuff.
If you act too fast on thatwith that technology.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
You also.
You and tiffany, both.
Apparently.
I don't know how to use the uhcameras on the zoom correctly,
so I end up getting way tooclose to the camera I know every
time you put your ear on thecamera my face way up in the
camera you're not a camera Likeback up, back up.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Especially now with the Zoom calls all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh my gosh, I'm like pulling him back up, because if
you don't back up, it's likepeople just see, I can't tell
you how many conference callswere on Zoom calls where, all of
a sudden, I feel the back of myshirt being pulled back to lean
me back, because my face is up,right up in the camera the more
the conversation goes, the moreyou start approaching the
(26:28):
camera and I have to just pullyou back pull you back.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
That's that's fun, but see it works like I love you
.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I love you with all your flaws and your, yeah, but
if you, if you, uh, I guess wework through it.
So the 25-year age gap is athing.
Older people have a.
You know, we do have more of aproblem with technology, but
sometimes we overcome that, likeI, have a lot of my friends my
age that bitch constantly aboutchecking themselves out of the
(26:58):
grocery store.
They hated it, you hated it, Ihated it in the beginning, but
then I got to know it.
Remember, in LA they wanted togive me a job at Ralph's because
I was so good at all the codesI was helping all the old people
put the codes in.
They're like the manager goes.
Can we hire you?
Because you're helping allthese people check their stuff
and I'm like, oh, here's thecode for that.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
When I started dating you 12 years ago and I, okay,
growing up I wanted to be acashier, right, that was my
dream job, a cashier at thegrocery store.
So I had all my toys and I wasplaying the cashier.
So when I came to America and Isaw self-checkout, I was like
this is my dream, this is mydream and I always wanted to do
(27:36):
the self-checkout.
And with this guy he's like no,because the things never work
right, no, because you're notpressing the right things or
always like assistance needed,assistance needed, assistance
needed.
I was like stop touching stuff,hold on, let the machine do its
thing.
But then now you love it right?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
No, I do love it.
I do love it.
The only thing I know is I haveto analyze okay, I have alcohol
on the card how many tripsthey're going to have to make
over here.
Okay, I have alcohol on thecard, how many trips they're
going to have to make over here?
So I cut a deal with them.
Hey, can you come over here andknock off all the alcohol at
once?
So you want to keep coming back?
But I generally know the codeson things.
I know how to put it in.
I feel good, especially whenthere's long lines and all the
old people, of course, are inthe long lines and I, just like
(28:18):
you, mean your people, otherside, knock it out.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
How's it sparks being married to to me to a younger
person but we work it out.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
We get the technology done.
I love technology.
I can't tell me times.
Oh my gosh.
On facebook or whatever they'relike.
You see all these posts againfrom people my age.
They're like I miss the simplertimes when we just drank out of
a hose and we just played inthe yard and that was so simple.
It's ironic that they'reposting that on Facebook.
But to me I'm like no, I don'tmiss that.
(28:49):
I like walking in a place,going.
That's a really cool song.
Here's my phone in my pocket.
I'm going to hit one app.
It shazams it and tells me whatit is.
Oh, I like that.
One click.
It's now on my playlist in myiTunes and I'm listening to it
in 20 minutes.
While I'm working out that, istrue.
That is what I like.
I like technology.
I like to go.
I don't need cash.
(29:09):
Click, click, apple Pay.
Goodbye, I'm out of here.
I love that.
I don't want to carry a bunchof cash around with me, like the
world's coming to an end orit's 1955.
I like technology.
I like the new gadgets, I likethe new things.
I like ai.
I like ai.
You know, I I'm pushing ai totake over the world, apparently
(29:29):
because you're like, you'reyelling at the machine to go
faster yeah, when ai takes overyou were, you were doomed.
I've seen terminator, I know howit happens because you're
yelling at the computer well, ifyou have any comments, you have
any questions, we'd like tohear from you.

Welcome to another episode of Two Generations, one
Mic.
My name is Andy and I'm herewith my husband, mark, and
today's episode is called Idon't know, I wasn't even born
yet.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Now, yes, and the reason that it's called that is
because we've explained beforein our backgrounds.
I spent the majority of mycareer in television and radio
and so many people that she'llmeet now will know me from that
and they will always come up andtry to reference things to her.
Oh, do you remember when he didthis on the radio or on
(00:38):
television, or this or this?
And it was a lot of referencesfrom the 80s and 90s, and she's
like I wasn't even born yet.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I mean, yeah, I was born in 88.
, but of course I don't rememberhim being like this personality
in the 80s and 90s.
I was like what, two, three andyeah, that usually gets them.
They're like wait what?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, you have no concept of a lot of references
that they're making, especiallymusical references or things
like that.
You just don't get it.
We have this discussion all thetime about music because, like,
one of the big things in the80s was, uh, especially the
clubs were like industrial dancemusic.
You call it satan's musicthat's satan's music, bro.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I'm telling you it's horrible right?
Well it's, it's an offense tothe people that like that music,
but it's like I just went toEast Berlin or something in the
80s and it's just like a bunchof random noises and See, that's
what my generation could alsosay about your music EDM.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's very similar.
I think it's just the EDM isthe industrial music in the
generation for today.
It's a lot of beats, it's justa lot of music.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, but then it's you dance to it.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Well, you do that too , they dance to it.
That was actually calleddancing, what they did in the
80s and 90s, just a bunch ofnonsense.
Well, yeah, but at that timethe X helped you know at that
time.
You mean time the x helped, youknow at that time because you
mean like ecstasy.
Yeah, because that was actuallyillegal.
(02:12):
I I'm old enough to rememberwhen x was legal they actually
when it was first made, they putit into it was like just in
jars on the bar you could walkup and grab some x that was
legal and pop some so well, likepeople just had like peanuts
right there.
Well, you people weren't stupidenough to eat a handful of them.
But you go get some x orwhatever.
It was totally legal in the inthe club when it first started
and then they outlawed it,obviously I think I think this
(02:32):
is how bad I am with drugs nowbecause I don't do them, but I
think in x what molly is todayto your generation I wouldn't
know you don't do the molly Idon't do the molly I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I'm sleeping at 7 pm you think I will be doing molly
no, that's true.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
That's true.
You are not uh but uh.
So there's a lot of things thathave to do with our different
generation.
Because I'm 25 years older thanyou, that you don't get uh yeah
, that's for sure yeah like.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I don't.
I don't get that like at all.
Also, I don't get how you guyssurvived without maps.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I mean like Google Maps Without Google Maps or
Apple Maps or someone talking toyou in the car.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, like, how do you guys manage to get places?
I just feel like I don't knowhow you guys managed to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well, we had someone talking to us in the car telling
us where to go.
It just wasn't a computer voice.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It was a person.
What if you didn't have aperson?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Well then you had to pull over to a gas station, you
had to go get a map, a paper map, and then you tried not to kill
yourself by reading it whileyou were driving your car.
So you would pull over and tryto figure out on this map, where
the hell am I at?
Okay, I'm here, I got to get tohere.
What do you have to do?
That was old school style, andwe also one of the things that I
used to get so frustrated fromyou, because you would never not
know how to get anywhere if youweren't listening to a computer
telling you where to go.
(03:51):
I always say you know you couldread the street signs on the
freeways and figure it out too.
that no, that's dangerous well,that's why they're there no,
like I.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Like today, when we were driving, I was like like,
look at the map.
And you're like I cannot looklike the screen in our car.
You know like, look at thescreen.
He's asking me direction.
I'm like, no, look at thescreen.
I can't look at the screen.
And the same time I'm lookingand I'm driving, I'm like what
do you mean?
Like yes, you can, you justmultitask.
And he's like, no, I can't.
(04:21):
I'm like, oh gosh, see, I don'tknow how you're still alive
driving with normal maps andjust getting places.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, I got there.
I mean, it's taken you longer,but you still got there.
Yeah, but there's a lot oflittle instances like that where
you just don't understand howwe did things or how we still do
things.
Or like yesterday, you broughtyour little play toy here.
I actually opened a can oftomato sauce with this and at
first this is the cutest thingin the world because I picked it
up.
I actually pulled it off ourfridge because it stays there,
(04:51):
because you can see she opensher beers with this.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I thought it was a beer opener all this time all
this time beer opener.
I was like, okay, that's cool,it's very practical.
But I took it off.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I took it off the refrigerator to open a can of
tomato sauce.
She she goes what are you doing?
I said I'm opening the tomatosauce.
She goes with that, With thebeer opener.
I said no, that's what thisside is for.
You use this side, you make onebig hole, you make a smaller
hole.
So, physics, it flows faster.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I thought this was a beer opener and this was a pokey
beer opener.
A pokey beer opener opener, apokey beer opener?
I don't know, maybe if you, Idon't know what.
I never thought there was a canopener.
I I'm used to like the normalcan opener, but this was amazing
.
Thank you for showing me that,like if one day we're
post-apocalyptic and I need tojust open bowls and cans.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
There you go it's almost as cute as one of the
very first things that she didwhen we first got together.
We've been together for 10years well, together for 12,
married for 10 and one of thecutest things I'd ever seen in
my life was she went into mykitchen, went into our kitchen
or my kitchen at the time, andshe literally looked in the sink
and she goes what is this?
What is this?
(05:59):
I said what is what?
Yes, peace.
I said the garbage disposal.
Yes, yes, what is this?
She, he goes this.
I said the garbage disposal.
She goes yes, what is this?
She had no concept of what agarbage disposal was.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I mean, I don't think that's a generational thing, I
think that's a cultural thing,because where I grew up, in
Mexico City, you don't havegarbage disposals because the
drain can't handle it right.
It's just like in New York City, when we lived in new york city
manhattan in manhattan, wedidn't have one and oh it was so
mad.
Like in europe, we don't haveone in spain, and that to me
(06:32):
says freedom, that to me saysamerica when you have a garbage
disposal.
That to me, is like I'm righthere, where the freedom is made
well, also to the other.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
The reason they don't have them is because the
plumbing is so old.
Of course you know our buildingin Spain was built in the 1800s
, yeah, so everything is verymuch older there and the systems
can't handle it.
Same thing with New York.
Those are old structures andthey can't handle it.
I would guess probably the samething in Mexico City.
That's right.
If it's a new structure withnew plumbing that's associated
with it, then you physicallycouldn't work right.
(07:05):
It would clog everything up.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But we make it work.
I mean, even with the agedifference, we make it work
because I'm like an older soul Ithink he is the one that wants
to go out and I'm like can wejust stay home, like why do you
have to go out?
And for us, going out is kindof like just going out to have a
(07:26):
couple drinks at 7 pm, unlesswe're in Spain.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Well no, in Spain it's 7 pm.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Here it's happy hour 5, 6 o'clock.
Because here, if it's earlierthan that, people judge you.
In America, people judge you ifyou drink earlier than that.
But that's a whole otherepisode and I just think we make
it work because you're like theone that parties.
Let's say I'm the young soulyou're the young soul and I'm
like and you're your mom already.
(07:52):
I want to have dinner at 3 pmand I just want to be in bed by
7 and just sleep 12 hours yeah,we, her mother lives with us, uh
, in spain.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And your mother is how old?
71 so she's 71 years old.
She lives with us in spain.
She grew up in mexico city, sheum, she doesn't speak a lot of
english, uh, so that's alsoreally fun so, um, she has this
uh way, she's always lived herlifestyle.
Uh, and so her.
She gets up in the morning, sheeats morning, her breakfast is
(08:26):
at 11 am and her dinner is at3-ish, 3.30, sometimes 2, 2.30.
That's it.
She does not eat another meallater.
Oh, she eats, snackies, she eatssnacks, but she doesn't eat a
meal and so she likes us to eatwith her, tries to eat with us,
and I cannot tell you how manyarguments we've had, because
(08:48):
we've had.
You know, we have work, we havebusiness, we have meetings,
we're out, we're doing thingsand we're like, okay, we're not
going to be back until like 4,30 or 5, and she's like, oh, I
can't eat at that hour.
That's crazy.
She just loses her mind ifwe're not eating by 4, 30 or 5.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
So she's already in bed by 7, right?
Well, she's already in bed by 7.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Right Well, she's already in bed by 5.
She wants to eat her dinner at3 and be in her pajamas by 5.
And then when we're out ifwe're out, god forbid we're
going out at 7, 7.30 or 8, she'scalling you an alcoholic,
because how dare we be out solate?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, but I also don't like that.
I really enjoy being at homewith you, the puppies.
We have three puppies, twosenior dogs.
Well, the three of them aresenior, basically now 15, 14,
and 10.
And I just like that.
I like to be watching TV,cuddling with you guys, and to
me, that's the moment where Ithink this is it, this is family
(09:42):
to me.
We don't have kids together, soto me, this is it.
This is family to me.
This we don't have kidstogether.
Uh, so to me, this is family.
This is the moment that I enjoyand I feel like if we go out,
it disrupts that.
I mean, when I was younger,believe me, I I worked at
nightclubs, so I really I spentso many nights working in the
(10:03):
service industry.
That is just so.
You enjoy sleeping a lot.
When you leave that industry,like you like to just stay in.
You hate the noise.
I don't like noisy places, Ithink since COVID probably Like
crowds.
I can't take crowds anymore, ormaybe I'm getting older.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I don't know.
Maybe think both.
When you were 18, you start offas a bartender.
You were bartending in a gaybar in mexico city and it didn't
even open till one.
Stayed open from one in themorning till seven in the
morning 8 am, 8 am.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Sometimes I was like people just go home, like nobody
loves you at home, like come on, go.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
And I mean the tips were great, uh but your light,
your body clock got on thatschedule where you're working
from one to eight in the morning, exactly at a bar.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So since I was like working on the weekends.
I was going out in the middleof the week and I was.
It was just not.
I don't know.
I enjoy sleeping now.
I enjoy staying in and justwatching the tv and sleep when I
want to sleep and I lovesleeping.
I am one person that I could belike sleeping on the floor
until tomorrow.
I don't.
(11:12):
Yeah, you're a cat now yousleep like a cat.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It's amazing and I don't like to when we say go, go
out beautifully yes, well, uh,when I like to go out, I don't
ever like.
It's never, never a thing whereI'm going.
Let's go out.
We're going to the club at 11o'clock and that's not my thing.
No, it's more like let's go tohappy hour.
We'll go somewhere, we'll havesome cocktails and then we're
still home in time for the baby.
738 o'clock.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I think the last time we went to a club we were in
Singapore, remember yes, we werein Singapore, and I sometimes
when I drink, I the devil takesover and I just want, I swear, I
can party all night, I swear.
But then it's midnight and I'mlike drunk and tired and I'm
like I can't do this anymore.
And um, we were in singapore andthere was this, uh, really nice
(11:57):
nightclub called the marqueeyes which they have one in vegas
, one in singapore and we, Itold him, let's, let's just
party, let's go to the club.
We're in Singapore.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well, that was, yeah, it was fun, but it was like
what time we had to be there.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Well, yeah, the way it works at these clubs, though
that are this high end is eitherthere's two choices you go
stand in this very, very longline to get in, or you have to
buy a table.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Now, what that entails is we're buying a table
which means we have to buy twobottles of liquor.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, and these bottles.
So we had to buy two bottles ofliquor, I don't know.
I think it cost us about $800.
It's about $800 that we get atable, we get our mixers and we
get bottles of alcohol and wehave our own dedicated waiter
and that's kind of what thething is.
So we get there early againbecause we don't want to get
(12:58):
there super late.
So it's roughly like 10, 30,right, 10, 30, 11.
And we're there, we get ourlittle area set up, we get our
little private area, we get ourtable and everything.
And Andy's starting to feel itand she's like wanting to dance
and the music she's.
I've got some great videos ofher.
I call her super sweet moveswhere she's just dancing.
Uh, I don't even know what thatdance would be called.
(13:19):
I thought she was having aseizure, but the she's dancing
and I was trying to shuffle shutup yeah, that's, that's what
that was.
So she's doing that and she'sstarting to get more frustrated
by the minute because, if youremember, we had not been in
clubs in a while and we didn'trealize that.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I think last time we were there was when we were
dating.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, so we haven't realized that.
I guess Gen Z people they don'tgo there and start dancing.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, what's wrong with you people?
You guys are not dancinganymore.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
They just go to.
The whole floor was covered byGen Z people, especially a lot
of the girls, and all they weredoing they were just on their
cell phone standing on the dancefloor on their cell phone.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Meanwhile, the music was great.
Like Eminem is playing and it'sjust all the right songs.
Like people are not dancing,they're not even talking,
they're just on their phones.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, so what's that about?
She goes.
This is very depressing.
Is that like that?
In everywhere in the world?
She goes.
This is so depressing.
I know I can't get my groove onhere.
Here I got my sweet moves goingand nobody's joining me.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I was having my sweet moves and nobody's dancing.
What's wrong with these people?
So I had a brilliant plan.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah.
So I thank God, I cause I drinkBacardi like it's water.
So I had a bottle of Bacardithere and you had gin, I think.
But I told, I told our waiter.
I said, go get me two gianttrays of shot glasses, bring
some like peach snobs and alsobring a like this J was seven up
or whatever chasers or whatever.
(14:48):
I said, bring that and yourshaker, we're going to make
shots.
And so we started making thesegiant trays of shots and I said,
okay, here, Andy, it's going tobe creepy for me to be doing it
, Cause that looks weird.
Hey you, a girl, a young girl,come here and have a shot.
I don't look like a creeperthat's trying to take you and
hide you in a trunk somewhere.
So I said what I would do.
(15:09):
I know what am I P Diddy.
So, I said look, you do thispart and I'm going to follow
behind you and I'm just going tovideotape.
And so I used my iPhone and Ijust started shooting video.
And so she went down with thesetrays of things and she just
started going and she justbasically just took charge of
the dance floor and walked inthere and was like all right
girls, get off your cell phones.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You look miserable, you need a shot.
I was like Oprah you need ashot, you get a shot, everybody
gets a shot.
And also, the guys were likewhat?
I mean, I don't know if theyspoke English or not, probably
yes, but all these girls look somiserable, like if I was on a
date.
Like if I was on a date, likeif we were dating and that was
our date, I would be.
(15:50):
I don't know, I don't think Iwould be no, no, but it worked
because you had everybody andall the girls are drinking shots
and they started going and Istarted going behind them shots
shots, shots and they starteddoing shots and they're chanting
shots and they're chanting usa,usa and so like it was great.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
So when you got and they, they were USA, usa, and so
like it was great.
So when you got and they, theywere all dead and all of a
sudden everybody started dancingon the floor and everything,
and we started to walk off and Ijust looked at the manager and
I went you're welcome, and wewalked off and went back to our
area.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
And it was midnight.
And then we're back at thehotel because you know we're
older people and um yeah, Ourwork is done here and we went
back to the Four Seasons.
That was fun.
That was a fun night, but thatwas the last time we went to a
nightclub and I can't evenimagine doing that every week.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
But that's why our gap works in that.
Yeah, it doesn't work that muchin other things, like
technology-wise.
You drive me crazy, yes.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well, and technology and technology wise, you move
too fast.
Sometimes you're just doing 8000 things at once, and that's
the other thing is you.
You do have weaver distress,you have add, and we look at
things two different ways.
I, when we have a laundry listof things to do, I make a list
and I knock one out.
I mark it off.
Next thing mark it off and I godown the list, so everything
(17:11):
gets accomplished.
You do 20 things at one timeand don't finish any of them.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I'm multitasking.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, but you don't finish the project.
So at the end of the thing Ihave to come behind you and go.
Did you finish this?
Oh, no, no.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I haven't done that, oh no, no, I haven't finished
that.
Here's how my brain works, abrain with ADD.
I have a deadline of let's saysomething that is a week from
now.
I'll start it today, but Idon't finish it until the day is
due, because I know I have thetime and in the process I can do
other things because that's notdue yet.
So I always finish by the datethat it needs to be done.
(17:49):
It's just, I perform underpressure.
I like the pressure.
That's why, when we're atairports, I get there.
I know it right.
I like the pressure, I like therush, I like the adrenaline
yeah I?
I if our flight leaves at 9 30in the morning, I like to like
to get there at 8.45 am.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, that's crazy.
So that's a whole other thingis us in the airports because we
travel a lot, so we're alwaysflying.
And, oh my gosh, when Tiffanygoes with us sometimes because
my daughter Tiffany works for ussometimes she'll fly.
It's three differentmentalities when it comes to
flying.
I want to get to the airportroughly an hour and a half, two
(18:31):
hours early.
Check in.
If we're checking luggage, wetry not to.
But if we have to check luggage, if we're doing it for a long
trip, we check luggage.
I want to check luggage, get tothe next spot, get through
security, and we always havefast paths through security.
So we go through that reallyfast.
And then my thing is let's goto the lounge.
I want to go to the lounge.
I want to get my free alcohol.
(18:52):
I don't care what time it is.
By the way, if you're a worldtraveler, there's no time in
airports.
So if you're having.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I have one at 7.30 in the morning.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's like Vegas.
There's no time in airports.
So I'll get a glass of wine andwe'll chill.
We'll get on the internet,we'll do some work, but I want
to relax and okay, we have thismuch time.
We're going to be firstboarding anyway.
Let's stroll down, but why?
And we get on and we're in ourplane and we get situated and we
have everything ready to go.
She, on the other hand, shewants to run to barely catch the
(19:23):
flight every single time.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Because who wants to be at an airport for four hours
like why?
Why do you want to just bedoing nothing when you can
utilize your time being moreproductive?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
or maybe sleeping in another hour.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I don't know why do you have to be there, why you
can have wine at the plane.
You don't have to have wine, Ican have both there's no reason
I can't have both.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
There's no limit.
Nobody's gonna steal your seatright.
But then you get to what youjust said.
Who wants to do it?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Tiffany's on the far end of that spectrum, my poor
Tiffany.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Tiffany's idea is she wants to sit at the gate two
hours ahead of time and shestill thinks she's going to miss
the flight.
That's the whole thing withTiffany.
That's Tiffany.
She's worried she's going tomiss the flight and she's been
at the gate for two hours.
Yes, so that's the threedivisions of our travel.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
But I like that, I like the rush, I like I mean to
be fair sometimes I really thinkI'm not going to make it, but I
always make it, except whenit's a connection that I missed
because I don't know.
Jfk was too busy and then Imissed my connection because we
took off late.
But that was on me, that was onthe pilots and the air traffic
control people, not my fault.
(20:31):
I just like the pressure, Ilike the rush, the adrenaline,
and you hate that about me.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
No, I don't like that at all.
I don't like that at all.
I want to be calm, relaxed.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I have a glass of wine, get in my seat, relax.
Yet when we have to gosomewhere, you always, you are
always.
Oh gosh, this drives me crazyabout this guy when we leave the
house, when, we leave the house, I sort of got like if I tell
him, babe, we have to be atsomewhere at I don't know 5 pm.
Okay, it's 4's 4.30.
We're about to leave.
Oh wait, I have to go to thebathroom.
(21:05):
Is that a man thing?
Like every time we have toleave the house, you have to go
pee.
It's like in your brain boom,we're leaving, I got to go pee.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Well, it wouldn't be bad if it was just having to go
pee.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Or sometimes he goes you know what I really need to
do right now shave my arms.
I'm like, oh, are you shavingyour arms?
Right, we are leaving in fiveminutes.
You're half naked.
He's like, wait, well, I hadsome, some hair in my.
I'm like nobody cares, you havehair in your arms at this point
, like who cared you know howmuch these tattoos cost.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I want to show them off babe, your hair is blonde.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You can see it through the hair, you're fine
yes, but it drives me insane.
Or if you have to go pick me upsomewhere.
I'm like, do you leave thehouse already?
Well, no, because you know, Ihad to take the puppies out to
pee and then I had to go peemyself and I was like, and shave
.
I guess like, why can't younever be on time?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I can be on time.
Sometimes it's just, I don, Idon't know, at the last second I
feel like I have to getsomething done.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Gosh drives me crazy.
I, on the other hand, try to beon time.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, that doesn't happen either.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I mean because I think that there's not going to
be traffic in my head.
I'm fine, I'm looking at themap, but sometimes that changes.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But yeah, because when you plan things, you plan
things for the last minute.
You plan things thinking thateverything's going to work the
way it's supposed to work.
And what do I always tell youwhen planning?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
You always have to allow for other people to fuck
up.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Exactly when you make your plans, always anticipate
someone else that you're relyingon is going to fuck up
somewhere in the solution.
So plan on if they fuck up.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I'm allowing myself that's you manifesting it, but
no, how many times have you been, and I'm not mansplaining that
to you no, manifesting it.
Oh, manifesting it.
Oh, thank you for okay.
Now you're mansplaining it.
Oh, thank you for Okay, nowyou're mansplaining it.
Now I'm mansplaining you.
No, what?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I'm saying is, especially when you go somewhere
and you're on a deadline,you're like, oh, I'm going to
get this, this, this.
How many times when you were,like, entering warehouses in LA,
when you're shipping stuffaround, like, oh yeah, and I
have the truck coming to get allthe pallets on this time at two
o'clock and at the airport atfive to get on our flight, I'm
like you didn't allow for anextra day for them to be late
for picking up a truckload ofpallets.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
See, there you go, you jinxed it.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
No, but that's not me .
It's like I'm telling you youhave to allow, because every
single time I've told you thatI'm like what happened?
Well, they're late.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Well, every single time, because you're like my mom
, you're like oh, you're goingto get sick.
Boom, you get sick.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
No, I just anticipate things could happen and I plan
for what if that happens.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Then it happens.
Why did we win the lottery?
Say it.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
You don't say it with good enough intention.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
You just like me to fail.
So you're right.
So, yeah, that definitely doeshappen.
Yeah, that's.
That's another thing.
And also, again, like we said,like with the technology right,
like we with technology gosh,when I try to tell you sometimes
, like, babe, like you getfrustrated with technology,
right, like there was this timethat he broke an atm because,
(24:21):
okay, so my, so my husband isWreck-It Ralph.
If something is going to break,it's because he touched it and
his daughter, tiffany, inheritedthat.
So they're my both Wreck-ItRalph, right.
So he usually breaks thingsjust by touching them.
Technology with him it neverworks.
When I take over,flawlesslylessly, it works,
(24:45):
perfect.
And I don't know, I don't knowwhy is that?
You guys break things.
And that time you were sofrustrated with the atm and you
we were, I think, in dallas inan atm and then you were just so
yelling at it and then at theend, like it got your card,
didn't give your card back, Idon't know.
You broke the ATM and I waslike, if you just calm down, let
(25:07):
the machine think for a second,it will be fine, but no, you
broke it.
And with the computer it's thesame thing.
I'm like calm down, drag thefile to your desktop.
No, you want to do it so fastthat you're just not able to
just click and drag.
You're double-clicking, or likewhen you have to double-click,
(25:28):
you just click, click.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I can't handle the double-click.
It just drives me crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
It's like I never get that right.
It's one click, click, click ordouble-click.
It's like different pacing ofstuff.
If you act too fast on thatwith that technology.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
You also.
You and tiffany, both.
Apparently.
I don't know how to use the uhcameras on the zoom correctly,
so I end up getting way tooclose to the camera I know every
time you put your ear on thecamera my face way up in the
camera you're not a camera Likeback up, back up.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Especially now with the Zoom calls all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh my gosh, I'm like pulling him back up, because if
you don't back up, it's likepeople just see, I can't tell
you how many conference callswere on Zoom calls where, all of
a sudden, I feel the back of myshirt being pulled back to lean
me back, because my face is up,right up in the camera the more
the conversation goes, the moreyou start approaching the
(26:28):
camera and I have to just pullyou back pull you back.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
That's that's fun, but see it works like I love you
.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I love you with all your flaws and your, yeah, but
if you, if you, uh, I guess wework through it.
So the 25-year age gap is athing.
Older people have a.
You know, we do have more of aproblem with technology, but
sometimes we overcome that, likeI, have a lot of my friends my
age that bitch constantly aboutchecking themselves out of the
(26:58):
grocery store.
They hated it, you hated it, Ihated it in the beginning, but
then I got to know it.
Remember, in LA they wanted togive me a job at Ralph's because
I was so good at all the codesI was helping all the old people
put the codes in.
They're like the manager goes.
Can we hire you?
Because you're helping allthese people check their stuff
and I'm like, oh, here's thecode for that.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
When I started dating you 12 years ago and I, okay,
growing up I wanted to be acashier, right, that was my
dream job, a cashier at thegrocery store.
So I had all my toys and I wasplaying the cashier.
So when I came to America and Isaw self-checkout, I was like
this is my dream, this is mydream and I always wanted to do
(27:36):
the self-checkout.
And with this guy he's like no,because the things never work
right, no, because you're notpressing the right things or
always like assistance needed,assistance needed, assistance
needed.
I was like stop touching stuff,hold on, let the machine do its
thing.
But then now you love it right?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
No, I do love it.
I do love it.
The only thing I know is I haveto analyze okay, I have alcohol
on the card how many tripsthey're going to have to make
over here.
Okay, I have alcohol on thecard, how many trips they're
going to have to make over here?
So I cut a deal with them.
Hey, can you come over here andknock off all the alcohol at
once?
So you want to keep coming back?
But I generally know the codeson things.
I know how to put it in.
I feel good, especially whenthere's long lines and all the
old people, of course, are inthe long lines and I, just like
(28:18):
you, mean your people, otherside, knock it out.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
How's it sparks being married to to me to a younger
person but we work it out.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
We get the technology done.
I love technology.
I can't tell me times.
Oh my gosh.
On facebook or whatever they'relike.
You see all these posts againfrom people my age.
They're like I miss the simplertimes when we just drank out of
a hose and we just played inthe yard and that was so simple.
It's ironic that they'reposting that on Facebook.
But to me I'm like no, I don'tmiss that.
(28:49):
I like walking in a place,going.
That's a really cool song.
Here's my phone in my pocket.
I'm going to hit one app.
It shazams it and tells me whatit is.
Oh, I like that.
One click.
It's now on my playlist in myiTunes and I'm listening to it
in 20 minutes.
While I'm working out that, istrue.
That is what I like.
I like technology.
I like to go.
I don't need cash.
(29:09):
Click, click, apple Pay.
Goodbye, I'm out of here.
I love that.
I don't want to carry a bunchof cash around with me, like the
world's coming to an end orit's 1955.
I like technology.
I like the new gadgets, I likethe new things.
I like ai.
I like ai.
You know, I I'm pushing ai totake over the world, apparently
(29:29):
because you're like, you'reyelling at the machine to go
faster yeah, when ai takes overyou were, you were doomed.
I've seen terminator, I know howit happens because you're
