things.
We love people, we love places,we love podcasts, we love, I
might say shout out, kara, forthese bomb ass mics.

So we had to make it.
We have to make a decision and,um, maybe we'll, maybe we'll
put a poll out, but we'llprobably be able to make the
decision ourselves but ifsomeone has any grandiose ideas,
as one does, we went down arabbit hole, sure did, um, and
we have some options here foralternatives to shouting out,

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Someone would like to have a tip of the hat too I
mean, some of the basic oneswere better.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Cheers, big props.
We're just looking for anoption that's better than
shouting out hat tip you knowwhat?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I just had an idea what if we got to use whichever
one we felt in the moment, butwe just tried to not say shout
out?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
What if we got smacked every time we said shout
out Like you just want to hitme, not not like really smack
but make it like a drinking game.
You have to take a shot everytime you say shout out oh dear,
no, I'm just kidding, I don'twant to take shots.
That sounds horrible Um youdon't want to take shots.
(06:57):
That sounds horrible.
Um, you don't ever take shots?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Not really, no, I would take shots of tequila if I
was given the option to takeshots of anything though I my
first choice is whiskey, secondchoice, tequila.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I literally am gagging right now, thinking
about whiskey.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I literally love whiskey.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I was ruined for whiskey when I was 14.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It was my fault I did that exact same thing.
I think I was.
Was it whiskey?
Yeah, it was shitty canadianwhiskey.
Yours was probably canadianwhiskey too.
It was um jack daniels oh, soyou don't have a relationship
with jack anymore.
I don't have a relationshipwith any whiskey anymore.
Mine was Canadian whiskey andit did nearly kill me, but for
(07:32):
some reason, like like, enjoylike a yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I don't get it.
I can't like if Jeremy Jeremyenjoys a nice whiskey and he'll
have a glass or whatever, and ifI get a whiff on the couch
beside him or something I'm likewho?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, we're a complete house divided.
My husband will not drinkwhiskey I'm with him and pretty
much only drinks vodka,occasionally tequila.
And also the man does love onvacation.
He loves a pina colada which hewill drink with his pinky out.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Am I Hammer?
Are Hammer and I the sameperson?
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
that's why we're so in love.
Yeah yeah, he drinks the clearliquors and I like the brown
liquors.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Same jeremy I yeah, I mean I do.
Did we marry each other?
We married each other weird um,I find that happens, though, a
lot like.
Some of my best friends arevery much like my husband and
not not like.
Like we're very different andjeremy like, and I'm very
different, obviously, is tequila.
Tequila is the only with umalcohol that doesn't make me
like either want to vomit justthinking about it, okay, or rum.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Does that close off?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
no, rum's actually fine too.
I can drink copious amounts ofrum and have nothing happen.
Okay, it's kind of.
It's been a while.
Actually I cannot um, buttequila is just like normal,
like I don't act crazy oranything.
But those in my life who havebeen around for a long time
discourage me from drinkingvodka because you'll get nakey.
I take my clothes off.
(08:55):
Oh, I turn into a differentperson.
I don't know what it is about.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Vodka I'm kind of like that with gin.
Okay, not that I take myclothes off, but gin makes me
want to sometimes fight thebouncer.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Okay, so we're not going to be drinking gin on our
trips.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Unless, unless it looks like, I want to go to,
unless it looks like or it justlooks like, I could take them.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Okay, so situation will situation, situation.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I don't love Jim, so it's it's a non starter.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I don't love it either.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I've had some gin drinks that are okay, I like a
good G&T every now and then,yeah, all right.
Well, I think we've solved ourshout-out problem.
We can say whatever the fuck wewant.
But I do think we're going tostay away from shouting out yeah
(09:47):
, just because we did annoyourselves, actually, ourselves,
actually well, and I think weboth have that thing with
authority, where if someone'severyone else is doing it, we
want to actively not do it.
Uh, yeah, so, yeah, that's true, you don't much like podcasting
, all right?
(10:08):
Well, thus concludes thisepisode, that's a quick episode.
We just wanted to nail what wewere going to say for the shout
out yeah, and next we are goingto get to one of the stories
that I told Kara she should telllast time.
And then we strangely went offon a tangent oh and.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I did want to clear up one thing really quick from
the first.
Oh right, this is just a littlelike sidebar, little piece of
housekeeping.
We mentioned that my mom wasnot around when I was younger.
She's alive, she's.
She's mom is alive and well.
She lives in Canada.
She just lived very far away.
We're raising my youngerbrothers when I was older Right,
she's just a country away.
It was just not, yeah, shewasn't, uh, really around a lot.
(10:49):
So, yeah, bonnie, there was aspace to fill at that point in
time.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And bonnie, yes, filled it.
So but hi, heather, but hi mom,um sorry about the lice.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, there was a lot of confusion when we were on
the trip and we were talkingabout, like our mom died, yeah,
and I was getting all thesemessages like I I'm so sorry,
kara, I didn't know your momdied and I was like, well, yeah,
so yeah, just to clarify.
All right, all right, cool, bye.
