A Fallout tee, a bus lot, and two Jersey girls who couldn’t stop asking questions—Every super team up has an origin story... this is ours. From there, the story folds into a decade of quick curbside chats, dinners that overwhelmed our New York spouses, and a long-distance rhythm that still lands us at the same table whenever we can. This week we pull on the thread of how small moments become big bonds and follow it through holiday chaos, blocked drive-thrus, and roadside snow that swallows headlights whole.
We start with a simple Black Friday plan and meet a Starbucks protest at the door. - WTF Where is our Cake Pops ? With caffeine on the line, we pivot to a grocery-store kiosk with lease rules that keep the lights on, then land at a local coffee spot where cake pops rescue tradition. That detour opens a bigger conversation about supporting small businesses, -
And then there’s the misadventure you didn’t know you needed: a condo upgrade, a cold-water bidet, and the fastest route to a telehealth appointment.
If you’ve ever built a friendship out of ordinary moments, fought for your coffee ritual, or turned a travel nightmare into a story you now love, you’ll feel at home here. Hit play, share this with your favorite person, and tell us the small moment that started your best friendship. Subscribe, leave a review, and drop your own chaotic coffee or travel tale—we’ll read our favorites on the show.

But we're with us.
Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_01 (00:51):
So, Rich, quick side note on this.
We are recording this in a newmethod because apparently, I
know my daughter did not likethe dudes that went every 10
minutes when we recorded on thephone.
She told me multiple times thatI needed to get rid of it.
Rich told me we needed to getrid of it, and I told all of
them we loved it.
(01:11):
However, to make us sound morethan that.
You don't want to annoy people.
And to sound more perverse.
Progression.
Progression.
So Rich spent most of the weektrying to find an app we can
use.
So we found this one.
Yep.
And we're gonna give this one ashot.
So we'll see how it works.
SPEAKER_00 (01:28):
There's no did to annoy anyone.
We'll see it, we'll see whatthey say.
Every ten minutes.
SPEAKER_01 (01:40):
That's right.
So we realized after the lastone that we didn't talk about
how we met.
We talked about who we were andwhere we were and why we were,
but we didn't talk about how weactually met.
SPEAKER_00 (01:53):
Some people might be like, why why are they doing
this together?
How do they know each other?
SPEAKER_01 (01:59):
So I think it's actually quite a funny story.
And of course, the way we tellit, it gets funnier each time.
Absolutely.
So we'll start.
I'll set the scene.
Yes, go ahead.
I was a school bus driver for 11years in a school district in
upstate New York.
And um our school district haseight elementary schools, three
(02:20):
middle schools, and two highschools.
Absolutely.
So you can end up almostanywhere, and of course all the
start times and end times are atdifferent times throughout the
day.
But um there was two elementaryschools, well, technically
three, but two parking lots fora school bus that I like to go
(02:41):
to.
And I always made a point oftrying to get a run, um, you
know, a bus route that wouldtake me to one of those two bus
parking lots.
Because as a bus driver, wedidn't really care what the
school they came from.
Um just the parking lot is whatwe liked.
Right.
Um so I was in a building thatwe call the North Building.
(03:03):
That's the one parking lot I wasat.
And it has two elementaryschools in it.
And um, we would always pull ourbuses up about 10 or 15 minutes
before the kids come out ofschool at the end of the day.
And we use that time to get thebus ready for the afternoon and
things like that.
And we would line up so that wewere all in order for the kids
to get on in an organizationalway, in an organized way, I
(03:27):
guess is the proper word.
Not that it ever was organizedor organized chaos, maybe.
Yes.
Um, but we did that.
And um every now and then, ifyou had issues on the bus, we
would have to Which was moreoften than not.
On my route, yeah.
We would have to call what theycall the disciplinary.
Um, and that was our definitionfor it as a bus driver.
(03:48):
I know um I know Zia in theschool, you guys are called the
the disciplinarians are calleddifferent, right?
They're called a principal aid.
We didn't call them that, wejust called them disciplinarian.
Yeah, so I called fordisciplinarian one day because I
was having problems on my buswith another bus.
SPEAKER_00 (04:05):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (04:06):
And so that bus driver and I were standing
outside of our buses waiting forthe disciplinary to come up.
SPEAKER_00 (04:12):
And there I was.
There you were.
And I just kept like going toyour bus for either that issue
or other little issues, or evenjust like bus passes, like you
give kids bus passes to likeeither go home or just to a
daycare.
And so I kept going out to herbus and um I said, you know, she
(04:35):
was wearing a fallout shirt,which a fallout four, the video.
Yeah, so so it was like big inmy household because we play
video games in this householdtoo, and so did she.
And um get a little brainwashed.
Now you have you know, you're aparent, you gotta do what your
kids tell you.
So um I walked out and I waslike, Do you play that?
(04:55):
Because it was on her shirt.
And she's like, Yeah, why?
Such a jersey dance.
Right?
I know I was like, why?
Why do you want to go?
Nosy, what do you what do youneed to know that for?
Stop looking at my shirt.
So I was like, Oh, I said, Yeah,we play in our household.
I play, you know, my kids,that's etc.
So it was kind of like a endingconversation because you know,
(05:19):
two jersey girls.
Yep.
We didn't even know what to do.
Oh, I didn't know you were inJersey from then, right?
We didn't even know.
SPEAKER_01 (05:24):
All right, good.
So I'm glad the principal aide,the disciplinary lady, I'm so
glad she plays video games.
That's right.
What do you do?
What did it be today?
SPEAKER_00 (05:33):
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (05:33):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (05:34):
Yep.
So she, you know, a couple ofweeks go by.
We really didn't talk about it,and then she starts wearing
jersey shirts.
SPEAKER_01 (05:42):
Well, start wearing jersey shirts.
Yeah, noticed.
SPEAKER_00 (05:46):
I noticed that you were wearing a jersey shirt.
SPEAKER_01 (05:48):
I think it was a shirt that was the outline of
the state, and it had a bunch ofcities, all of them.
It had just about all the townsand cities all over it.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (05:57):
So I was like, all right, what's with the jersey
shirt?
Why are you asking?
Why?
Why do you want to know?
Why do this lady's asking toomany questions about me?
SPEAKER_01 (06:09):
She wants to know about my Fallout 4 t-shirt.
She wants to know about myjersey shirt.
What is your problem, lady?
Right, right.
SPEAKER_00 (06:16):
And so she was like, Well, I'm from Jersey.
I'm like, so am I.
And whereabouts?
Whereabouts?
I go, well, it's not on yourshirt.
Mine isn't either.
So then we were complainingabout the shirt together that
you should be included on theshirt.
(06:37):
Yes.
Yes.
And then that was it.
I saw that.
And then I think we exchangednames officially.
We did officially, yep, becauseI I only had like your last
name.
You had my last name, but itwasn't officially.
That's all you get.
Um, you officially call thatperson to the bus.
Right.
I don't care.
I just I need you.
Yeah, I don't need you.
(06:57):
And usually, like what peopledon't know is like if you did
call me out to the bus, itwouldn't be you, it would be the
dispatch would call the schooland then I come out.
So you wouldn't have even calledmy name.
You know, you're just like, oh,she's coming.
Yep, she's coming.
SPEAKER_01 (07:13):
I'm the disciplinary, and then the
somebody would appear because ifI was at the elementary school,
right, or if it was a child thatwas on my bus that went to the
other elementary school, youwouldn't necessarily come.
No, it wouldn't have been me.
SPEAKER_02 (07:27):
It would be that you're just ruled that you had a
trouble bus.
SPEAKER_01 (07:32):
No.
You know what though, those kidsto this day still.
SPEAKER_00 (07:36):
You would have been friends with the other principal
aide.
SPEAKER_01 (07:42):
I don't know who's gonna listen to it from the
school.
So I'm just gonna say, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (07:49):
Yeah.
Yeah.
I yeah, you love this better foryou.
I love this better.
SPEAKER_01 (07:57):
So now it's like 10 years.
At the same time.
Yeah, I was gonna say, but atthe same time, your one of your
children, yeah, adult childrenat the time was working at the
school.
Yes, they were.
And he was very bonded with oneof my beloved needing children.
And so I actually that's how Imet your son.
Your eldest son.
(08:18):
Yep.
That's how I met him.
And um he would walk her to thebus a lot of days, and I was I
finally asked him after a coupleof weeks, why are you walking
her?
And I yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (08:32):
Yeah, even he was that was also and it's like she
was meeting the whole family atone time.
It was like the like our familywas being like pushed into her
life very quickly.
SPEAKER_01 (08:44):
Well, hold on.
If we're gonna do that, then welet's go.
Let's just extend it.
Then we all went to your housefor dinner one night.
That's right.
It was me and my husband now,but we were dating at the time,
and my and my only daughter aretechnically our second youngest.
Yeah, it was you, your husband,and your oldest son or your
(09:07):
youngest son.
And we all went to your housefor dinner, and that was crazy.
SPEAKER_00 (09:16):
It was a Jersey day, and that's actually what my
husband said when you guys left.
He was like, Okay, that was alot of Jersey for me because
your husband is New York, and myhusband's New York, and then
we're Jersey, and they're justlike anytime we go out, they
have to sit there and listen toa lot of Jersey talk and energy,
(09:38):
and and then they try to throwin their New Yorkisms every now
and then, and it's like no.
No, we get they get shot down alot.
SPEAKER_01 (09:48):
Frequently.
SPEAKER_00 (09:49):

Yeah.
I mean, and and we actually gotyelled at too a couple times
that I was just coming out totalk to you.
I know.
SPEAKER_01 (10:02):
Yes, because as our friendship grew, yeah, we would
if you had free moment and I waswaiting for the kids to come
out, you would pop down to mybus and and say hi.
And I didn't always get to be atyour school.
There were years when I wasn'tat your school, right?
Which, because of the way wewould bid on our runs, every
year we bid, and it's based onseniority.
(10:23):
So in the beginning, when wefirst met, I was down on
seniority.
But as I got higher, it goteasier to get to your school.
Um, however, that also meantthat my hours were limited.
Yep.
Because if there wasn't a longenough hours in the day, but we
made it work.
And if I didn't make it to yourschool, that's okay.
SPEAKER_00 (10:41):
Yeah, and we were starting at that point that we
started going for coffee and youknow, getting together.

strong.
SPEAKER_01 (11:03):

we're distanced.
We have a guaranteed everySaturday morning phone call.
SPEAKER_00 (11:09):
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (11:09):
Every two Saturdays at this point, but we'll get it
to every Saturday at some point,I hope.
SPEAKER_00 (11:14):
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01 (11:14):
And um, every time I pop into New York, I always
sneak over and see her.
Although that was the best whenI surprised you that first
school.
You did.
Actually, there's not manypeople that make it.
I cried.
You cried, then I cried, thenIsabella cried.
Yep.

SPEAKER_00 (11:48):
No, me neither.
Me neither.
Um, so yeah, transitioning to mylittle coffee there.
Um yeah.
We were going to have coffee onBlack Friday.
On Black Friday, because we geta cup of coffee?
Well, we had to go to a coupleof places.
Three stops.
Three stops.
Yep.
Three steps.
And um, so there was a list.
(12:09):
I don't know if you saw it outthere.
People were trying to say not togo to different stores during
Black Friday, you know, try tonot spend money at certain
places.
Um there was a list.
I'm not gonna get into the listbecause I we're gonna keep this
non-political.
So we're going we're we're, youknow, I'm driving by to get to
you because we're going to onestore that morning and I see all
(12:31):
these protesters, tons ofprotesters out at Starbucks.
And I was like, oh my god.
Now to me, I'm thinking, arethey just protesting something
personal or are they protestingthe list?
Because I was like, Right,because sometimes you have
protesters.
Yeah, sometimes you haveprotesters just standing there.
Yeah, so I was like, oh my god,are we gonna go out and we're
(12:51):
gonna encounter all theseprotesters, right?
Yes, so you texted me right whenyou pull into the store.
That was like my first thought.
I'm like, are there protesterseverywhere?
Because it that just you know,it just ruins the day for us to,
you know, enjoy.
So anyway, we leave the storeand we're ready to go to
(13:11):
Starbucks, and um, they're therefront and drive-through.
SPEAKER_01 (13:16):
And they stopped a car from pulling in the
drive-thru.
I don't know if you saw it,because I was the first car.
We were all in our own cars.
Yeah.
And I say, Oh, because mydaughter joined us.
So we were in three cars.
SPEAKER_00 (13:29):
Right.
So we you know, when we pulledup, I said, Oh my god, that guy
couldn't get into the building.
Yeah.
And the late we asked theprotesters, like, oh, excuse me,
you know, are they closed?
And she said, No, the dining isclosed, Ari, because we're
protesting.
It's the um barista protest.
Right.
And we were like, Oh my god,okay.
(13:50):
And you know, I was kind ofshocked.
I know they're pulling like allthe pro the um baristas from all
the places because they want tothey want to code a union, they
want to unionize Starbucks.
SPEAKER_01 (13:59):
Absolutely.
And again, we're not gonna talkabout that.
That's a political thing.
SPEAKER_00 (14:03):
But nope, you know, it looked like a lot compared to
familiar faces because we wouldalways go after work.
I didn't never see a you know,the familiar ones didn't look
like the familiar ones we alwayssaw.
SPEAKER_01 (14:18):
I said to I said to Eliza, I said, dude, I said
there was 12 or 14 baristasstanding at that Starbucks.
I'm like, oh my god, if therewere that many people there all
the time, we wouldn't have towait an hour for a cup of coffee
some days, just work.
And and Eliza told me that I wasjumping off the deep end a
little bit on that.
But yeah, so I didn't reallylove that for her.
SPEAKER_00 (14:40):
Just like, you know, that that that brain thought of
now I'm dealing with shopping,Christmas stresses, holiday
stresses, and then also you'redealing with I can't get a cup
of coffee in the morning becausenow it's closed.
So then we went to another oneand they were open, but their um
(15:01):
espresso machine didn't work.
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (15:04):
Well, so I did look into that.
So contractually, they rent thespace from the grocery store.
Oh and in their lease, they mustbe open if the grocery store is
open.
Oh, I love that.
So we'll go to all the grocerystores.
No, but they turned off theirespresso machines because I
(15:24):
can't imagine that theirespresso machine was broken.
SPEAKER_00 (15:27):
Well, the one over here by me, theirs did break for
a while and I couldn't get mycoffee.
So there they do have quite aproblem with the colour.
They do, okay.
Yeah, because Zach and I, youknow, my son Zach and I, we were
very, you know, we get thecaramel macchiato, and I need my
espresso shots, and my god, ifit's not there, good lord.
(15:48):
It's it's a tragedy.
Yes, and you know how it says,oh, the first sip on the cup?
Don't I look at you every time Itake that first sip?
And I'm like, It's like myCoca-Cola.
It's between my Coca-Cola and myStarbucks.
I'm I'm okay if I get that firstsip.
Agreed.
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (16:05):
So I come home.
So after we well, no, go ahead.
So then we had to, so we getthere to the grocery store.
We had Starbucks, and they toldus, but we did get our cake pops
there.
We did, we got our cake popsthere.
That's a because that's atradition of ours.
SPEAKER_00 (16:19):
Yep, yep, yep.
And then um, you know, we wentthere and then we went to a
local uh place to eat.
Um it's a little chain, but it'sa local chain.
Yep, and we we got our coffeethere, and you know, we b we all
agreed it's great to support thelocal community shops at that
point because it is BlackFriday.
SPEAKER_01 (16:40):
Right.
And and honestly, I would havebeen I would have been very
willing to go there first.
Me too.
Without going to the Starbucks,but but I was gonna say that,
but it wasn't tradition becausethat place when we would go, it
would be right after school, andall the high schoolers would end
up in there.
And we won't want to sit in acoffee shop and try to have an
adult, non school relatedconversation because we talk
(17:04):
about everything, we almostnever talk about school, and if
we do, it's like the first 10minutes, it's like, oh my gosh,
that that happened.
And then we move on because ourfriendship isn't based on the
school, that's how we met.
That was our foundation, butthen we've moved on.
So it was always hard to go tothe local one.
We moved on.
(17:25):
Right.
Oh, and then nobody could see,but I did make my arms go like
out and about, like we moved on.
Yeah.
Um but yeah, so I mean, wedidn't we didn't want to go
where all the kids were becausewe used to go to the one right
by your house, right?
But all the kids from yourschool go would go there with
their parents after school,absolutely grocery shop or
whatever, and we were seeingkids there, so we decided to go
(17:47):
to the big one.
Yeah um that's what we did.
SPEAKER_00 (17:50):
Yeah.
Um but yeah, so definitely.
So Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (17:54):
So Black Friday was a very interesting day.
SPEAKER_00 (17:57):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (17:58):
So I know it says um on our little notes here that we
write that we were gonna talkabout Black Friday shopping, but
I do need to change the subjectever so slightly.
So we did go shopping at onestore in the morning.
Um, and then we went to ourcoffee drama, as it may be.
(18:18):
And then I left straight fromthere.
Oh no, I wonder if that sound,did you hear that sound?
SPEAKER_00 (18:23):
What?
SPEAKER_01 (18:24):
Oh, I just got a news alert and it popped up, but
it made its big sound in my ear.
No, so I wonder if it later showup.
Oh, I wonder if it'll show up onthe recording.
Yeah, we'll have to see.
Um so I left.
We finished the coffee aroundnoon and um I have a three and a
half hour drive home.
(18:44):
And uh on my drive home, Istarted driving and I got to the
New York Vermont border and Ihit a snow squall.
Oh, geez.
We're from upstate New York.
We get snow squalls.
I've driven a bus in snowsqualls.
It's a snow squall.
You slow down for 10 minutes,you drive out of it.
SPEAKER_00 (18:59):
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01 (19:00):
So this one was um a big snow squall.
It lasted probably 10 or 15minutes of driving time.
And um so I get into Vermont andI'm out of the snow squall.
Now, of course, I have themountains of Vermont.
And for the most part, thosewere fine.
It was a little congested, butnot too bad.
(19:21):
Um, I get almost out of Vermontand I hit a second snow squall.
Oh no, wait.
I didn't go that way.
That's what I'm thinking.
I'm like, why didn't I why am Inot knowing where I hit that
second snow squall?
No.
My husband, Rich, told me to gothe highway, which would take
(19:44):
longer.
That's right.
And I hit it was on the NewYork, Massachusetts border, like
the Stockbridge area where I hitthe first snow squall.
And then I get in to Mass.
That's right.
It wasn't Vermont, it was Mass.
SPEAKER_00 (19:59):
Oh
SPEAKER_01 (20:00):
Yeah.
So I get into Mass and I'm on Ininety and it sent me up I
ninety one, which takes you upon the it takes you up straight
up Mass and then it takes you tothe Vermont, New Hampshire
border.
Okay.
And then it goes up the Vermont,New Hampshire border all the
way.
So it took me that way and I wasabout 20 miles out of the
(20:24):
Vermont.
Right.
That's where it was.
I was about 20 miles out ofVermont and I had a snow squall
so bad.
I was driving 15 miles an houron an interstate.
I couldn't see no car around me.
I couldn't see the car in frontof me.
I couldn't even see theirlights.
It was so bad.
(20:44):
Then I finally get into Vermontand the snow stopped in that
little area.
Yeah.
I get into New Hampshire and Iwas totally fine until I got to
the middle of the state.
Yeah.
And when I got to the middle ofthe state, I hit another snow
squall.
And this one lasted probably itthey called it a squall, but I
mean it was a snowstorm.
(21:04):
Yeah.
Um, and there was like four orfive car accidents.
There was at one point I wasdriving and I went around a bend
and there was about three carsin front of me.
Yeah.
And 10 or 12 behind me.
I couldn't see the end of theline behind me.
But we were coming and we wentaround this bend and there was a
cop in the road directingtraffic because of an accident.
(21:24):
Oh my God.
I didn't see him until he was atmy window.
SPEAKER_00 (21:27):
So dangerous for him, too.
SPEAKER_01 (21:29):
So dangerous for him.
And I'm like, oh my gosh.
And I'm like, whoa.
And then finally I get toConcord, um, which is the city
right next to where I live, andit like immediately cleared up
and was fine.
And oh my god.
I'm only 20 miles from Concord.
So I mean it was like sailsmooth, smooth sailing the rest
of the way home.
(21:50):
Great.
But it took me almost four and ahalf hours to get home.
SPEAKER_00 (21:55):
Of course.
The only time that we've runinto that is like we go to the
New Jersey Devil Games, and weMichael and I had hit a huge
storm last year.
It took us like almost six hoursto get home.
Because we were right behind theplow, also.
And then, you know, we justcouldn't move, we couldn't go
(22:15):
left, we couldn't go right, wecouldn't even pass it.
Um, and it was like six hours,it's three hours, maybe two and
a half from North.
And you're just like, you know,what's happening?
I I mean, you get so tiredcoming home driving, right?
Yeah, it was crazy.
I love to drive, but my god, sixhour trip back and forth, that's
(22:39):
just crazy.
Six hour trip for what should betwo and a half or three.
Absolutely.
Yep.
And I think that's the problem.
I keep that in my head while I'mdriving, and you're like, this
could have been two and a halfhours.
This could have been half hours.
SPEAKER_01 (22:51):
I love that for you because I say the same thing.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh, I love that.
I love that.
Oh my god.
But yeah, so uh it's just it'scrazy.
It is like I was shocked at howlong it took me.
I think one time it was in thesummer, um, I used to meet my
well, no, worse than I used tomeet my daughter's father.
(23:15):
We used to do the divorcedparent swap in a parking lot at
McDonald's right there in Mawa.
Right.
I'm 17.
Yep.
And um, we used to meet there,and um I planned all of her
visits around this time the thenext year, or for the rest of
the time she would go visit him,but it was the day of Travers.
Oh, geez.
The race in Saratoga at theSaratoga racetrack.
(23:38):
And it was the day of theTravers, and we met at the worst
time apparently, and I droppedher off, and there was an
accident right near the tollbecause it was when there was
toll booths.
Yeah, there was an accidentright outside the toll booth on
both sides.
Uh-huh.
So it took forever to getthrough that stretch.
And then once I got through thatstretch, it was literally bumper
(24:00):
to bumper all the way up becauseeverybody was going to Travers.
And then you see the horses.
The horses covering up there.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was crazy.
And that one took me almost sixhours to get from Mawa.
Yeah.
To to uh we were living in atthat time we were living up in
Scattercoke.
Okay.
(24:20):
We were living up that way.
And it took me like six hoursbecause I got stuck in Travers
traffic and I didn't even knowwhat Travers was at that point.
SPEAKER_00 (24:28):
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know it takes you a while tolearn that's I mean, well, I
came from a uh racetrack uhloving family.
Uh let's put it that way nicely.
Um but definitely um you know Iknew all that stuff probably
before I was eight.
Um but yeah, definitely.
(24:50):
It's yeah, it's a lot of things.
But you didn't have to drive inthat traffic.
Good lord, no, not at all.
But talking about traveling, um,I was acquiring a new bag for
school, you know, to take mystuff because you know we have
these big water cups now withthe handles and all that.
SPEAKER_01 (25:11):
Those fancy ones that the second graders come
walking in with.
SPEAKER_00 (25:15):
I know.
Stanley cups.
I don't have a Stanley.
I do not like the Stanley's.
I don't have a Stanley, but I dohave a brewmate.
And um that one a little bitsmaller size, but it does have
the handle.
And um, I'm like, how do I getthis thing to work with a coffee
cup, the water cup?
How do how do you do that,right?
So I bought a bag online thathad a little clip that goes
(25:38):
through the handle and it kindof secures it in the pocket so
that you don't drop it out.
Well, okay, yeah, I mean, it'sgreat.
So I got in a fight with itbecause it wouldn't let go of my
cup.
So I went to take the littlehook off and it wouldn't let go
(26:01):
of the hook, first of all, andthen it got stuck with my cup
coming out.
So, um, needless to say, quickpro quo there.
Um, my daughter has it now.
She took it to the city totravel with.
Um, because I I was like, whatam I doing?
This is ridiculous.
So I did get my old Adidas bagback, and this has a leak-proof
(26:23):
top, literally.
No water comes out of thisthing.
And I just throw it inside,stuff it between like two bags,
and boom.
You're good.
Yeah.
I love that.
So you like don't have to carryanything.
I mean, beautiful bags, lovedit.
But nope, I'm not I cannot fightwith anything in the morning.
I have to fight with myself toget going.
(26:44):
I'm not fighting with them.
SPEAKER_01 (26:46):
And and as we spoke earlier, you are the
disciplinarian, so I am thedisciplinary.
SPEAKER_00 (26:51):
Absolutely.
I don't need my day to startwith a bad bag issue and a cup
issue.
That's the least of my worriesthat day.
Oh my god.
Right?
Oh gosh.
Yeah, it's just, you know, youtry to make these things easier
for yourself.
And you're like, I'm gonna getlike just to treat yourself
during the school year, you'relike, I'll get a new shirt, or
(27:13):
I'll get a new bag, make thingseasier.
Sometimes you just gotta stickwith the you know, devil you
know and not the one you'regoing to.
SPEAKER_01 (27:24):
Sometimes the yeah, yeah, right.
That is yep, very much so.
SPEAKER_00 (27:29):
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01 (27:30):
Uh so I have one funny story to tell you.
Oh, well, I have a ton of funnystories, but I have I have an
epic one.
So my husband's brother owns acondo down in Ocean City,
Maryland.
Yeah, and he doesn't use it asan Airbnb, okay, but he lets
family come down and use it.
(27:53):
Yeah, so we go down andtypically go a week in the
summer, and um uh you know,other family members go down and
of course they're there and allthat.
So this year we decided wedidn't want to go down over the
summer, we wanted to go down fora music festival in September.
So we took a week down there andwe did a midweek, so it was like
a Wednesday to a Wednesday kindof thing, just to be different
(28:15):
because we wanted the wholeweekend for the music festival.
Right.
So his condo years ago when theyfirst got it, needed a lot of
upgrades.
It was a very old condo, itlooked old, but it was it was
very comfortable.
It was a great, it's a greatcondo.
I love his condo.
Perfect location.
So one year they came throughand they redid the floors, and
(28:40):
then they redid the kitchen, andthen they redid the bathroom.
And I mean you could see howthey put air conditioning, they
put a central a central unit in,and so I mean they're redoing
all this stuff and they theymake it look it's amazing how it
functional it is for such asmall space.
Right.
I think it's like 900 squarefeet.
I mean, it's microtiny.
Yeah, but um so this year theirupgrade was they installed a
(29:05):
bidet on their toilet.
SPEAKER_00 (29:07):
Oh my god.
So you know me well enough toknow that I have to play with
that.
You have to play witheverything.
I have to play with that.
They have ones with music, Imean lights, I mean lights,
music.
I mean, you can have anentertainment show while you're
going potty.
SPEAKER_01 (29:25):
Exactly.
Yeah.
So this is just a cold waterbidet.
SPEAKER_00 (29:29):
No, I'm just joking.
SPEAKER_01 (29:30):
Oh, that could be fun instead of searching reels
while you're sitting there.
I love it.
You know we would do it too.
I would too.
I mean so I'm playing with thebidet for four or five days.
Right.
And not thinking any of it iswrong.
(29:52):
Right.
Just playing with the bidet.
Every time I would go, I woulddo like a sit-shap and you know,
I'd try them.
Having fun.
Right.
So we decided to come home a dayearly.
Not because of anything, justbecause it was cold, we couldn't
go in the water, it had rained,it was the vacation was over,
you know.
So we decided, you know what,let's just go home a day early.
(30:15):
Absolutely.
It's not gonna hurt anything.
Yep.
What are we going home for?
You know?
Yeah.
So we come, we came home a dayearly.
And on the drive home, I startedto get like a stomachache.
And I'm like, oh, I don'tnormally get travel tummy, but
I'm like, all right, it's traveltummy.
So I didn't really eat.
It was it's being in NewHampshire now, it's it's almost
a seven, eight hour drive.
(30:36):
Yeah.
You know, it used to be five orsix, now it's yeah, closer to
seven, eight.
Right.
Because we have to go throughafter we come out of Jersey, we
literally have to go across umthe Tap and Z.
Tap and Z.
And yes, I'm gonna call up theTap and Z.
I'm not calling it whatever thehell it's called.
It's always Tap and Z.
Exactly.
Love that for us.
Yeah.
Um, so we have to go that way.
(30:59):
So of course that adds to anhour.
But anyway, so we get home andlike I feel feverish, I feel
blah, like, and I don'tunderstand.
And I'm like, I don't understandwhat's going on.
And and and so so Rich asked me,did I want to go to the doctor?
And I'm like, no, I don't needto go to the doctor.
I I don't know.
Well, the next morning when Iwoke up.
(31:20):
Plus, you're probably thinkingit was rainy.
Well, yeah, I'm just thinking itwas travel, Tommy, and I just
didn't feel well.
SPEAKER_00 (31:26):
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01 (31:27):
And long drive, and yeah, you know, I have
autoimmune issues.
So exactly, I have autoimmuneissues, so who knows, you know.
And so the next morning I wakeup and I'm like, yeah, no, I
have a UTI.
Oh no.
As you know, I get UTIs when thewind blows.
So why I thought playing withthe bidet was the thing to do.
(31:48):
So something new, something new.
Exactly.
So my husband was like, Youshould go to the doctor, and I'm
like, No, yeah.
I'm like, why don't we just doone of those video calls?
I'm like, because I get them sooften, I don't need to go there.
I can exactly so I call one andthe doctor calls me back 10 or
15 minutes later, and I'm on thevideo call with the doctor, and
(32:11):
she's like, So how do you knowit's a UTI?
And I'm like, Okay.
And I had never seen this.
I mean, I have no insurancebecause I moved.
So this is a first visit asopposed to what I had.
So I tell the lady, I'm like,okay, look, I get UTIs when the
wind blows wrong.
SPEAKER_02 (32:27):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (32:27):
I said, I mean, we're in our 50s, we know you
know what a UTI is, right?
And I'm like, and she's like,oh, okay.
And I said, and to top it off, Ijust spent a week on vacation
and the house we were staying inhad a bidet, and she started
laughing.
And she goes, Do you need me toteach you how to use a bidet?
And I'm like, Well, no, Iclearly know now how not to use
(32:48):
it.
Right.
Not so frequently.
unknown (32:50):
No.
SPEAKER_01 (32:51):
And and not, you know, back to front.
It's front to back.
Right, right, right.
Um, so yeah, so that was um soyou're not going to France.
SPEAKER_00 (33:02):
No, I'm just showing.
SPEAKER_01 (33:04):
I'm I'm not.
No, I think I'm gonna stay awayfrom biddays for a while.
SPEAKER_00 (33:08):
Yes, yes, I would uh suggest that for you.
Yep.
I mean, I mean, like you said,you know, it's terrible.
You going into that, you we'rein our 50s, you definitely know
what you've been through alongthe way medically.
And then when they say, How doyou know?
Dude, like, you know, I thinkbetween my family, my
(33:30):
grandparents also, to me, in mygeneration, like, it's just, you
know, we had a funnyconversation with Alex about
that yesterday.
He was like, Mom, when did youknow that um you were your body
was deteriorating?
And I was like, Alex, probablywhen I was born.
(33:52):
It was probably when I was born.
Um and then definitely my firstreal sickness was I was eight.
So, you know, it's just like youknow from having so many things
what you might have.
Right.
Yep.
It's like just give me themedication, please.
Let me take care of my problems.
Yes.
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (34:11):
Just just do it.
Just give me what I need.
SPEAKER_00 (34:13):
Yep, absolutely.
And the explanations over andover again.
It's like, you know, you have togo through your whole medical
history when it's in the filealready.
You know, why do we fill out allthese things if it's they're
gonna ask you again and againand again?
SPEAKER_01 (34:30):
So I didn't when I went to my new no, when I went
to my new rheumatologist, Iwalked in and the the nurse was
like, Okay, you're a newpatient.
Yeah, I know he's looking atyour chart right now.
I know we got some records fromyour doctor in New York, right?
So we'll see what it is.
(34:50):
And he walked in and he sat downand he was like, So, according
to your chart, this and this andthis and this and this.
I love that.
And I'm like, Yeah, and he'slike, So this and this and this
and this, and I'm like, Yeah,and he's like, All right, here's
the new plan.
Yeah, and he like he he knew,and I was like mind blown
because he walked in as if I wason a follow-up.
(35:10):
It was not like an I mean it wasobviously a new patient because
we did cover some things that wecovered, you know, I covered in
New York, but right I I wasabsolutely shocked that he had
read my chart.
He he knew what I was doing andwas like, we're not even gonna
do the full blood panel.
He's like, let's just do youryour biannual update for blood
(35:32):
work.
He's like, go ahead and takethat.
And I'm like, seriously?
He's like, Yeah, I got all yourblood work.
SPEAKER_00 (35:37):
I'm like, Yeah, I'm like, I absolutely love you.
Yep.
Well, you know, I held on to mydoctors.
I've had my same doctors foryears.
Um, and then I one of my doctorshad gotten sick, so I had to
change a different G GY.
And she came in, she read mychart too.
And I think it might be thatyounger generation of doctors
(35:58):
that are like, it's in thechart, you know, kind of like
just look at the chart.
Yeah, yeah.
I love that for us because man,I it's hard.
SPEAKER_01 (36:07):
You do love that for us.
SPEAKER_00 (36:08):
There's too much medical between the two of us.
SPEAKER_01 (36:13):
We could have we could have five podcast episodes
over that.
Oh my god, but yeah, we're notgetting into any of that.
SPEAKER_00 (36:19):
Absolutely.
Yep, but but oh man, so yeah,yeah, that's we had a
full-packed uh I like when we'rewe're doing this this way
because we have a lot to talkabout.
But when we get together, peoplemight think that we just get
together to talk like this, butwe're talking all week through
text and yeah, and this is howwe talk.
SPEAKER_01 (36:40):
It is we're not I don't know about you, I'm not
doing anything different.
The only different thing I'mdoing is I look at our notes
because we have our notes thatwe want to talk about on the
podcast.
SPEAKER_00 (36:48):
Absolutely.
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (36:50):
And and we're leaving names out and and
certain things like that forprivacy issues, but other than
that, this is exactly how wetalk.
SPEAKER_00 (36:57):
Yep, absolutely, absolutely, and I think that's
the best way to do it becauseyou know, it's between like our
little chit-chats that we dohave, and when we bring
something up, um, you know, itdoes affect other people, and
that's kind of why we decided todo this because how many other
people are going through thesame things or having the same
things.
SPEAKER_01 (37:16):
And even if it just makes them laugh because they're
talking about you know, I used abidet and had a UTI too.
Oh my gosh, or I tried to getStarbucks on Black Friday.
Oh the protest is here thisweekend, right?
Oh no, it's in New Hampshire,yeah.

They were there protestingtoday, so no Starbucks for me.
SPEAKER_00 (37:36):
No Starbucks for you.

And like we said, we're doing itfor us.
If you enjoy our little spiel,enjoy it.
But we're with us.
Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_01 (00:51):
So, Rich, quick side note on this.
We are recording this in a newmethod because apparently, I
know my daughter did not likethe dudes that went every 10
minutes when we recorded on thephone.
She told me multiple times thatI needed to get rid of it.
Rich told me we needed to getrid of it, and I told all of
them we loved it.
(01:11):
However, to make us sound morethan that.
You don't want to annoy people.
And to sound more perverse.
Progression.
Progression.
So Rich spent most of the weektrying to find an app we can
use.
So we found this one.
Yep.
And we're gonna give this one ashot.
So we'll see how it works.
SPEAKER_00 (01:28):
There's no did to annoy anyone.
We'll see it, we'll see whatthey say.
Every ten minutes.
SPEAKER_01 (01:40):
That's right.
So we realized after the lastone that we didn't talk about
how we met.
We talked about who we were andwhere we were and why we were,
but we didn't talk about how weactually met.
SPEAKER_00 (01:53):
Some people might be like, why why are they doing
this together?
How do they know each other?
SPEAKER_01 (01:59):
So I think it's actually quite a funny story.
And of course, the way we tellit, it gets funnier each time.
Absolutely.
So we'll start.
I'll set the scene.
Yes, go ahead.
I was a school bus driver for 11years in a school district in
upstate New York.
And um our school district haseight elementary schools, three
(02:20):
middle schools, and two highschools.
Absolutely.
So you can end up almostanywhere, and of course all the
start times and end times are atdifferent times throughout the
day.
But um there was two elementaryschools, well, technically
three, but two parking lots fora school bus that I like to go
(02:41):
to.
And I always made a point oftrying to get a run, um, you
know, a bus route that wouldtake me to one of those two bus
parking lots.
Because as a bus driver, wedidn't really care what the
school they came from.
Um just the parking lot is whatwe liked.
Right.
Um so I was in a building thatwe call the North Building.
(03:03):
That's the one parking lot I wasat.
And it has two elementaryschools in it.
And um, we would always pull ourbuses up about 10 or 15 minutes
before the kids come out ofschool at the end of the day.
And we use that time to get thebus ready for the afternoon and
things like that.
And we would line up so that wewere all in order for the kids
to get on in an organizationalway, in an organized way, I
(03:27):
guess is the proper word.
Not that it ever was organizedor organized chaos, maybe.
Yes.
Um, but we did that.
And um every now and then, ifyou had issues on the bus, we
would have to Which was moreoften than not.
On my route, yeah.
We would have to call what theycall the disciplinary.
Um, and that was our definitionfor it as a bus driver.
(03:48):
I know um I know Zia in theschool, you guys are called the
the disciplinarians are calleddifferent, right?
They're called a principal aid.
We didn't call them that, wejust called them disciplinarian.
Yeah, so I called fordisciplinarian one day because I
was having problems on my buswith another bus.
SPEAKER_00 (04:05):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (04:06):
And so that bus driver and I were standing
outside of our buses waiting forthe disciplinary to come up.
SPEAKER_00 (04:12):
And there I was.
There you were.
And I just kept like going toyour bus for either that issue
or other little issues, or evenjust like bus passes, like you
give kids bus passes to likeeither go home or just to a
daycare.
And so I kept going out to herbus and um I said, you know, she
(04:35):
was wearing a fallout shirt,which a fallout four, the video.
Yeah, so so it was like big inmy household because we play
video games in this householdtoo, and so did she.
And um get a little brainwashed.
Now you have you know, you're aparent, you gotta do what your
kids tell you.
So um I walked out and I waslike, Do you play that?
(04:55):
Because it was on her shirt.
And she's like, Yeah, why?
Such a jersey dance.
Right?
I know I was like, why?
Why do you want to go?
Nosy, what do you what do youneed to know that for?
Stop looking at my shirt.
So I was like, Oh, I said, Yeah,we play in our household.
I play, you know, my kids,that's etc.
So it was kind of like a endingconversation because you know,
(05:19):
two jersey girls.
Yep.
We didn't even know what to do.
Oh, I didn't know you were inJersey from then, right?
We didn't even know.
SPEAKER_01 (05:24):
All right, good.
So I'm glad the principal aide,the disciplinary lady, I'm so
glad she plays video games.
That's right.
What do you do?
What did it be today?
SPEAKER_00 (05:33):
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (05:33):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (05:34):
Yep.
So she, you know, a couple ofweeks go by.
We really didn't talk about it,and then she starts wearing
jersey shirts.
SPEAKER_01 (05:42):
Well, start wearing jersey shirts.
Yeah, noticed.
SPEAKER_00 (05:46):
I noticed that you were wearing a jersey shirt.
SPEAKER_01 (05:48):
I think it was a shirt that was the outline of
the state, and it had a bunch ofcities, all of them.
It had just about all the townsand cities all over it.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (05:57):
So I was like, all right, what's with the jersey
shirt?
Why are you asking?
Why?
Why do you want to know?
Why do this lady's asking toomany questions about me?
SPEAKER_01 (06:09):
She wants to know about my Fallout 4 t-shirt.
She wants to know about myjersey shirt.
What is your problem, lady?
Right, right.
SPEAKER_00 (06:16):
And so she was like, Well, I'm from Jersey.
I'm like, so am I.
And whereabouts?
Whereabouts?
I go, well, it's not on yourshirt.
Mine isn't either.
So then we were complainingabout the shirt together that
you should be included on theshirt.
(06:37):
Yes.
Yes.
And then that was it.
I saw that.
And then I think we exchangednames officially.
We did officially, yep, becauseI I only had like your last
name.
You had my last name, but itwasn't officially.
That's all you get.
Um, you officially call thatperson to the bus.
Right.
I don't care.
I just I need you.
Yeah, I don't need you.
(06:57):
And usually, like what peopledon't know is like if you did
call me out to the bus, itwouldn't be you, it would be the
dispatch would call the schooland then I come out.
So you wouldn't have even calledmy name.
You know, you're just like, oh,she's coming.
Yep, she's coming.
SPEAKER_01 (07:13):
I'm the disciplinary, and then the
somebody would appear because ifI was at the elementary school,
right, or if it was a child thatwas on my bus that went to the
other elementary school, youwouldn't necessarily come.
No, it wouldn't have been me.
SPEAKER_02 (07:27):
It would be that you're just ruled that you had a
trouble bus.
SPEAKER_01 (07:32):
No.
You know what though, those kidsto this day still.
SPEAKER_00 (07:36):
You would have been friends with the other principal
aide.
SPEAKER_01 (07:42):
I don't know who's gonna listen to it from the
school.
So I'm just gonna say, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (07:49):
Yeah.
Yeah.
I yeah, you love this better foryou.
I love this better.
SPEAKER_01 (07:57):
So now it's like 10 years.
At the same time.
Yeah, I was gonna say, but atthe same time, your one of your
children, yeah, adult childrenat the time was working at the
school.
Yes, they were.
And he was very bonded with oneof my beloved needing children.
And so I actually that's how Imet your son.
Your eldest son.
(08:18):
Yep.
That's how I met him.
And um he would walk her to thebus a lot of days, and I was I
finally asked him after a coupleof weeks, why are you walking
her?
And I yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (08:32):
Yeah, even he was that was also and it's like she
was meeting the whole family atone time.
It was like the like our familywas being like pushed into her
life very quickly.
SPEAKER_01 (08:44):
Well, hold on.
If we're gonna do that, then welet's go.
Let's just extend it.
Then we all went to your housefor dinner one night.
That's right.
It was me and my husband now,but we were dating at the time,
and my and my only daughter aretechnically our second youngest.
Yeah, it was you, your husband,and your oldest son or your
(09:07):
youngest son.
And we all went to your housefor dinner, and that was crazy.
SPEAKER_00 (09:16):
It was a Jersey day, and that's actually what my
husband said when you guys left.
He was like, Okay, that was alot of Jersey for me because
your husband is New York, and myhusband's New York, and then
we're Jersey, and they're justlike anytime we go out, they
have to sit there and listen toa lot of Jersey talk and energy,
(09:38):
and and then they try to throwin their New Yorkisms every now
and then, and it's like no.
No, we get they get shot down alot.
SPEAKER_01 (09:48):
Frequently.
SPEAKER_00 (09:49):
Yeah.
But yeah, so it's been 10 yearsnow that I've known you.
Yeah.
I mean, and and we actually gotyelled at too a couple times
that I was just coming out totalk to you.
I know.
SPEAKER_01 (10:02):
Yes, because as our friendship grew, yeah, we would
if you had free moment and I waswaiting for the kids to come
out, you would pop down to mybus and and say hi.
And I didn't always get to be atyour school.
There were years when I wasn'tat your school, right?
Which, because of the way wewould bid on our runs, every
year we bid, and it's based onseniority.
(10:23):
So in the beginning, when wefirst met, I was down on
seniority.
But as I got higher, it goteasier to get to your school.
Um, however, that also meantthat my hours were limited.
Yep.
Because if there wasn't a longenough hours in the day, but we
made it work.
And if I didn't make it to yourschool, that's okay.
SPEAKER_00 (10:41):
Yeah, and we were starting at that point that we
started going for coffee and youknow, getting together.
Yes.
That's an I love that for youtransition.
SPEAKER_01 (10:50):
That's right.
That's right.
I love how you did that.
Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_00 (10:56):
So 10 years, and um yeah, we that's how we're
strong.
SPEAKER_01 (11:03):
Yeah, and now we're now we're distanced, but now
we're distanced.
We have a guaranteed everySaturday morning phone call.
SPEAKER_00 (11:09):
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (11:09):
Every two Saturdays at this point, but we'll get it
to every Saturday at some point,I hope.
SPEAKER_00 (11:14):
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01 (11:14):
And um, every time I pop into New York, I always
sneak over and see her.
Although that was the best whenI surprised you that first
school.
You did.
Actually, there's not manypeople that make it.
I cried.
You cried, then I cried, thenIsabella cried.
Yep.
So yeah.
Isabella's somebody we'll talkabout another day.
(11:35):
Yeah.
I need to get her permissionfirst.
I don't want to bring her up.
But but um, but yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (11:42):
Yep.
SPEAKER_02 (11:42):
Friendship.
SPEAKER_00 (11:44):
Friendship.
SPEAKER_02 (11:45):
It's great.
I wouldn't change it for theworld.
SPEAKER_00 (11:48):
No, me neither.
Me neither.
Um, so yeah, transitioning to mylittle coffee there.
Um yeah.
We were going to have coffee onBlack Friday.
On Black Friday, because we geta cup of coffee?
Well, we had to go to a coupleof places.
Three stops.
Three stops.
Yep.
Three steps.
And um, so there was a list.
(12:09):
I don't know if you saw it outthere.
People were trying to say not togo to different stores during
Black Friday, you know, try tonot spend money at certain
places.
Um there was a list.
I'm not gonna get into the listbecause I we're gonna keep this
non-political.
So we're going we're we're, youknow, I'm driving by to get to
you because we're going to onestore that morning and I see all
(12:31):
these protesters, tons ofprotesters out at Starbucks.
And I was like, oh my god.
Now to me, I'm thinking, arethey just protesting something
personal or are they protestingthe list?
Because I was like, Right,because sometimes you have
protesters.
Yeah, sometimes you haveprotesters just standing there.
Yeah, so I was like, oh my god,are we gonna go out and we're
(12:51):
gonna encounter all theseprotesters, right?
Yes, so you texted me right whenyou pull into the store.
That was like my first thought.
I'm like, are there protesterseverywhere?
Because it that just you know,it just ruins the day for us to,
you know, enjoy.
So anyway, we leave the storeand we're ready to go to
(13:11):
Starbucks, and um, they're therefront and drive-through.
SPEAKER_01 (13:16):
And they stopped a car from pulling in the
drive-thru.
I don't know if you saw it,because I was the first car.
We were all in our own cars.
Yeah.
And I say, Oh, because mydaughter joined us.
So we were in three cars.
SPEAKER_00 (13:29):
Right.
So we you know, when we pulledup, I said, Oh my god, that guy
couldn't get into the building.
Yeah.
And the late we asked theprotesters, like, oh, excuse me,
you know, are they closed?
And she said, No, the dining isclosed, Ari, because we're
protesting.
It's the um barista protest.
Right.
And we were like, Oh my god,okay.
(13:50):
And you know, I was kind ofshocked.
I know they're pulling like allthe pro the um baristas from all
the places because they want tothey want to code a union, they
want to unionize Starbucks.
SPEAKER_01 (13:59):
Absolutely.
And again, we're not gonna talkabout that.
That's a political thing.
SPEAKER_00 (14:03):
But nope, you know, it looked like a lot compared to
familiar faces because we wouldalways go after work.
I didn't never see a you know,the familiar ones didn't look
like the familiar ones we alwayssaw.
SPEAKER_01 (14:18):
I said to I said to Eliza, I said, dude, I said
there was 12 or 14 baristasstanding at that Starbucks.
I'm like, oh my god, if therewere that many people there all
the time, we wouldn't have towait an hour for a cup of coffee
some days, just work.
And and Eliza told me that I wasjumping off the deep end a
little bit on that.
But yeah, so I didn't reallylove that for her.
SPEAKER_00 (14:40):
Just like, you know, that that that brain thought of
now I'm dealing with shopping,Christmas stresses, holiday
stresses, and then also you'redealing with I can't get a cup
of coffee in the morning becausenow it's closed.
So then we went to another oneand they were open, but their um
(15:01):
espresso machine didn't work.
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (15:04):
Well, so I did look into that.
So contractually, they rent thespace from the grocery store.
Oh and in their lease, they mustbe open if the grocery store is
open.
Oh, I love that.
So we'll go to all the grocerystores.
No, but they turned off theirespresso machines because I
(15:24):
can't imagine that theirespresso machine was broken.
SPEAKER_00 (15:27):
Well, the one over here by me, theirs did break for
a while and I couldn't get mycoffee.
So there they do have quite aproblem with the colour.
They do, okay.
Yeah, because Zach and I, youknow, my son Zach and I, we were
very, you know, we get thecaramel macchiato, and I need my
espresso shots, and my god, ifit's not there, good lord.
(15:48):
It's it's a tragedy.
Yes, and you know how it says,oh, the first sip on the cup?
Don't I look at you every time Itake that first sip?
And I'm like, It's like myCoca-Cola.
It's between my Coca-Cola and myStarbucks.
I'm I'm okay if I get that firstsip.
Agreed.
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (16:05):
So I come home.
So after we well, no, go ahead.
So then we had to, so we getthere to the grocery store.
We had Starbucks, and they toldus, but we did get our cake pops
there.
We did, we got our cake popsthere.
That's a because that's atradition of ours.
SPEAKER_00 (16:19):
Yep, yep, yep.
And then um, you know, we wentthere and then we went to a
local uh place to eat.
Um it's a little chain, but it'sa local chain.
Yep, and we we got our coffeethere, and you know, we b we all
agreed it's great to support thelocal community shops at that
point because it is BlackFriday.
SPEAKER_01 (16:40):
Right.
And and honestly, I would havebeen I would have been very
willing to go there first.
Me too.
Without going to the Starbucks,but but I was gonna say that,
but it wasn't tradition becausethat place when we would go, it
would be right after school, andall the high schoolers would end
up in there.
And we won't want to sit in acoffee shop and try to have an
adult, non school relatedconversation because we talk
(17:04):
about everything, we almostnever talk about school, and if
we do, it's like the first 10minutes, it's like, oh my gosh,
that that happened.
And then we move on because ourfriendship isn't based on the
school, that's how we met.
That was our foundation, butthen we've moved on.
So it was always hard to go tothe local one.
We moved on.
(17:25):
Right.
Oh, and then nobody could see,but I did make my arms go like
out and about, like we moved on.
Yeah.
Um but yeah, so I mean, wedidn't we didn't want to go
where all the kids were becausewe used to go to the one right
by your house, right?
But all the kids from yourschool go would go there with
their parents after school,absolutely grocery shop or
whatever, and we were seeingkids there, so we decided to go
(17:47):
to the big one.
Yeah um that's what we did.
SPEAKER_00 (17:50):
Yeah.
Um but yeah, so definitely.
So Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (17:54):
So Black Friday was a very interesting day.
SPEAKER_00 (17:57):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (17:58):
So I know it says um on our little notes here that we
write that we were gonna talkabout Black Friday shopping, but
I do need to change the subjectever so slightly.
So we did go shopping at onestore in the morning.
Um, and then we went to ourcoffee drama, as it may be.
(18:18):
And then I left straight fromthere.
Oh no, I wonder if that sound,did you hear that sound?
SPEAKER_00 (18:23):
What?
SPEAKER_01 (18:24):
Oh, I just got a news alert and it popped up, but
it made its big sound in my ear.
No, so I wonder if it later showup.
Oh, I wonder if it'll show up onthe recording.
Yeah, we'll have to see.
Um so I left.
We finished the coffee aroundnoon and um I have a three and a
half hour drive home.
(18:44):
And uh on my drive home, Istarted driving and I got to the
New York Vermont border and Ihit a snow squall.
Oh, geez.
We're from upstate New York.
We get snow squalls.
I've driven a bus in snowsqualls.
It's a snow squall.
You slow down for 10 minutes,you drive out of it.
SPEAKER_00 (18:59):
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01 (19:00):
So this one was um a big snow squall.
It lasted probably 10 or 15minutes of driving time.
And um so I get into Vermont andI'm out of the snow squall.
Now, of course, I have themountains of Vermont.
And for the most part, thosewere fine.
It was a little congested, butnot too bad.
(19:21):
Um, I get almost out of Vermontand I hit a second snow squall.
Oh no, wait.
I didn't go that way.
That's what I'm thinking.
I'm like, why didn't I why am Inot knowing where I hit that
second snow squall?
No.
My husband, Rich, told me to gothe highway, which would take
(19:44):
longer.
That's right.
And I hit it was on the NewYork, Massachusetts border, like
the Stockbridge area where I hitthe first snow squall.
And then I get in to Mass.
That's right.
It wasn't Vermont, it was Mass.
SPEAKER_00 (19:59):
Oh
SPEAKER_01 (20:00):
Yeah.
So I get into Mass and I'm on Ininety and it sent me up I
ninety one, which takes you upon the it takes you up straight
up Mass and then it takes you tothe Vermont, New Hampshire
border.
Okay.
And then it goes up the Vermont,New Hampshire border all the
way.
So it took me that way and I wasabout 20 miles out of the
(20:24):
Vermont.
Right.
That's where it was.
I was about 20 miles out ofVermont and I had a snow squall
so bad.
I was driving 15 miles an houron an interstate.
I couldn't see no car around me.
I couldn't see the car in frontof me.
I couldn't even see theirlights.
It was so bad.
(20:44):
Then I finally get into Vermontand the snow stopped in that
little area.
Yeah.
I get into New Hampshire and Iwas totally fine until I got to
the middle of the state.
Yeah.
And when I got to the middle ofthe state, I hit another snow
squall.
And this one lasted probably itthey called it a squall, but I
mean it was a snowstorm.
(21:04):
Yeah.
Um, and there was like four orfive car accidents.
There was at one point I wasdriving and I went around a bend
and there was about three carsin front of me.
Yeah.
And 10 or 12 behind me.
I couldn't see the end of theline behind me.
But we were coming and we wentaround this bend and there was a
cop in the road directingtraffic because of an accident.
(21:24):
Oh my God.
I didn't see him until he was atmy window.
SPEAKER_00 (21:27):
So dangerous for him, too.
SPEAKER_01 (21:29):
So dangerous for him.
And I'm like, oh my gosh.
And I'm like, whoa.
And then finally I get toConcord, um, which is the city
right next to where I live, andit like immediately cleared up
and was fine.
And oh my god.
I'm only 20 miles from Concord.
So I mean it was like sailsmooth, smooth sailing the rest
of the way home.
(21:50):
Great.
But it took me almost four and ahalf hours to get home.
SPEAKER_00 (21:55):
Of course.
The only time that we've runinto that is like we go to the
New Jersey Devil Games, and weMichael and I had hit a huge
storm last year.
It took us like almost six hoursto get home.
Because we were right behind theplow, also.
And then, you know, we justcouldn't move, we couldn't go
(22:15):
left, we couldn't go right, wecouldn't even pass it.
Um, and it was like six hours,it's three hours, maybe two and
a half from North.
And you're just like, you know,what's happening?
I I mean, you get so tiredcoming home driving, right?
Yeah, it was crazy.
I love to drive, but my god, sixhour trip back and forth, that's
(22:39):
just crazy.
Six hour trip for what should betwo and a half or three.
Absolutely.
Yep.
And I think that's the problem.
I keep that in my head while I'mdriving, and you're like, this
could have been two and a halfhours.
This could have been half hours.
SPEAKER_01 (22:51):
I love that for you because I say the same thing.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh, I love that.
I love that.
Oh my god.
But yeah, so uh it's just it'scrazy.
It is like I was shocked at howlong it took me.
I think one time it was in thesummer, um, I used to meet my
well, no, worse than I used tomeet my daughter's father.
(23:15):
We used to do the divorcedparent swap in a parking lot at
McDonald's right there in Mawa.
Right.
I'm 17.
Yep.
And um, we used to meet there,and um I planned all of her
visits around this time the thenext year, or for the rest of
the time she would go visit him,but it was the day of Travers.
Oh, geez.
The race in Saratoga at theSaratoga racetrack.
(23:38):
And it was the day of theTravers, and we met at the worst
time apparently, and I droppedher off, and there was an
accident right near the tollbecause it was when there was
toll booths.
Yeah, there was an accidentright outside the toll booth on
both sides.
Uh-huh.
So it took forever to getthrough that stretch.
And then once I got through thatstretch, it was literally bumper
(24:00):
to bumper all the way up becauseeverybody was going to Travers.
And then you see the horses.
The horses covering up there.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was crazy.
And that one took me almost sixhours to get from Mawa.
Yeah.
To to uh we were living in atthat time we were living up in
Scattercoke.
Okay.
(24:20):
We were living up that way.
And it took me like six hoursbecause I got stuck in Travers
traffic and I didn't even knowwhat Travers was at that point.
SPEAKER_00 (24:28):
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know it takes you a while tolearn that's I mean, well, I
came from a uh racetrack uhloving family.
Uh let's put it that way nicely.
Um but definitely um you know Iknew all that stuff probably
before I was eight.
Um but yeah, definitely.
(24:50):
It's yeah, it's a lot of things.
But you didn't have to drive inthat traffic.
Good lord, no, not at all.
But talking about traveling, um,I was acquiring a new bag for
school, you know, to take mystuff because you know we have
these big water cups now withthe handles and all that.
SPEAKER_01 (25:11):
Those fancy ones that the second graders come
walking in with.
SPEAKER_00 (25:15):
I know.
Stanley cups.
I don't have a Stanley.
I do not like the Stanley's.
I don't have a Stanley, but I dohave a brewmate.
And um that one a little bitsmaller size, but it does have
the handle.
And um, I'm like, how do I getthis thing to work with a coffee
cup, the water cup?
How do how do you do that,right?
So I bought a bag online thathad a little clip that goes
(25:38):
through the handle and it kindof secures it in the pocket so
that you don't drop it out.
Well, okay, yeah, I mean, it'sgreat.
So I got in a fight with itbecause it wouldn't let go of my
cup.
So I went to take the littlehook off and it wouldn't let go
(26:01):
of the hook, first of all, andthen it got stuck with my cup
coming out.
So, um, needless to say, quickpro quo there.
Um, my daughter has it now.
She took it to the city totravel with.
Um, because I I was like, whatam I doing?
This is ridiculous.
So I did get my old Adidas bagback, and this has a leak-proof
(26:23):
top, literally.
No water comes out of thisthing.
And I just throw it inside,stuff it between like two bags,
and boom.
You're good.
Yeah.
I love that.
So you like don't have to carryanything.
I mean, beautiful bags, lovedit.
But nope, I'm not I cannot fightwith anything in the morning.
I have to fight with myself toget going.
(26:44):
I'm not fighting with them.
SPEAKER_01 (26:46):
And and as we spoke earlier, you are the
disciplinarian, so I am thedisciplinary.
SPEAKER_00 (26:51):
Absolutely.
I don't need my day to startwith a bad bag issue and a cup
issue.
That's the least of my worriesthat day.
Oh my god.
Right?
Oh gosh.
Yeah, it's just, you know, youtry to make these things easier
for yourself.
And you're like, I'm gonna getlike just to treat yourself
during the school year, you'relike, I'll get a new shirt, or
(27:13):
I'll get a new bag, make thingseasier.
Sometimes you just gotta stickwith the you know, devil you
know and not the one you'regoing to.
SPEAKER_01 (27:24):
Sometimes the yeah, yeah, right.
That is yep, very much so.
SPEAKER_00 (27:29):
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01 (27:30):
Uh so I have one funny story to tell you.
Oh, well, I have a ton of funnystories, but I have I have an
epic one.
So my husband's brother owns acondo down in Ocean City,
Maryland.
Yeah, and he doesn't use it asan Airbnb, okay, but he lets
family come down and use it.
(27:53):
Yeah, so we go down andtypically go a week in the
summer, and um uh you know,other family members go down and
of course they're there and allthat.
So this year we decided wedidn't want to go down over the
summer, we wanted to go down fora music festival in September.
So we took a week down there andwe did a midweek, so it was like
a Wednesday to a Wednesday kindof thing, just to be different
(28:15):
because we wanted the wholeweekend for the music festival.
Right.
So his condo years ago when theyfirst got it, needed a lot of
upgrades.
It was a very old condo, itlooked old, but it was it was
very comfortable.
It was a great, it's a greatcondo.
I love his condo.
Perfect location.
So one year they came throughand they redid the floors, and
(28:40):
then they redid the kitchen, andthen they redid the bathroom.
And I mean you could see howthey put air conditioning, they
put a central a central unit in,and so I mean they're redoing
all this stuff and they theymake it look it's amazing how it
functional it is for such asmall space.
Right.
I think it's like 900 squarefeet.
I mean, it's microtiny.
Yeah, but um so this year theirupgrade was they installed a
(29:05):
bidet on their toilet.
SPEAKER_00 (29:07):
Oh my god.
So you know me well enough toknow that I have to play with
that.
You have to play witheverything.
I have to play with that.
They have ones with music, Imean lights, I mean lights,
music.
I mean, you can have anentertainment show while you're
going potty.
SPEAKER_01 (29:25):
Exactly.
Yeah.
So this is just a cold waterbidet.
SPEAKER_00 (29:29):
No, I'm just joking.
SPEAKER_01 (29:30):
Oh, that could be fun instead of searching reels
while you're sitting there.
I love it.
You know we would do it too.
I would too.
I mean so I'm playing with thebidet for four or five days.
Right.
And not thinking any of it iswrong.
(29:52):
Right.
Just playing with the bidet.
Every time I would go, I woulddo like a sit-shap and you know,
I'd try them.
Having fun.
Right.
So we decided to come home a dayearly.
Not because of anything, justbecause it was cold, we couldn't
go in the water, it had rained,it was the vacation was over,
you know.
So we decided, you know what,let's just go home a day early.
(30:15):
Absolutely.
It's not gonna hurt anything.
Yep.
What are we going home for?
You know?
Yeah.
So we come, we came home a dayearly.
And on the drive home, I startedto get like a stomachache.

But anyway, so we get home andlike I feel feverish, I feel
blah, like, and I don'tunderstand.
And I'm like, I don't understandwhat's going on.
And and and so so Rich asked me,did I want to go to the doctor?
And I'm like, no, I don't needto go to the doctor.
I I don't know.
Well, the next morning when Iwoke up.

And so the next morning I wakeup and I'm like, yeah, no, I
have a UTI.
Oh no.
As you know, I get UTIs when thewind blows.
So why I thought playing withthe bidet was the thing to do.
(31:48):
So something new, something new.
Exactly.
So my husband was like, Youshould go to the doctor, and I'm
like, No, yeah.
I'm like, why don't we just doone of those video calls?
I'm like, because I get them sooften, I don't need to go there.
I can exactly so I call one andthe doctor calls me back 10 or
15 minutes later, and I'm on thevideo call with the doctor, and
(32:11):
she's like, So how do you knowit's a UTI?
And I'm like, Okay.
And I had never seen this.
I mean, I have no insurancebecause I moved.
So this is a first visit asopposed to what I had.

wind blows wrong.

And then when they say, How doyou know?
Dude, like, you know, I thinkbetween my family, my
(33:30):
grandparents also, to me, in mygeneration, like, it's just, you

It's like, you know, you have togo through your whole medical
history when it's in the filealready.
You know, why do we fill out allthese things if it's they're
gonna ask you again and againand again?
SPEAKER_01 (34:30):
So I didn't when I went to my new no, when I went
to my new rheumatologist, Iwalked in and the the nurse was
like, Okay, you're a newpatient.
Yeah, I know he's looking atyour chart right now.
I know we got some records fromyour doctor in New York, right?
So we'll see what it is.
(34:50):
And he walked in and he sat downand he was like, So, according
to your chart, this and this andthis and this and this.
I love that.
And I'm like, Yeah, and he'slike, So this and this and this
and this, and I'm like, Yeah,and he's like, All right, here's
the new plan.
Yeah, and he like he he knew,and I was like mind blown
because he walked in as if I wason a follow-up.
(35:10):
It was not like an I mean it wasobviously a new patient because
we did cover some things that wecovered, you know, I covered in
New York, but right I I wasabsolutely shocked that he had
read my chart.
He he knew what I was doing andwas like, we're not even gonna
do the full blood panel.
He's like, let's just do youryour biannual update for blood
(35:32):
work.
He's like, go ahead and takethat.
And I'm like, seriously?
He's like, Yeah, I got all yourblood work.
SPEAKER_00 (35:37):

Well, you know, I held on to mydoctors.
I've had my same doctors foryears.
Um, and then I one of my doctorshad gotten sick, so I had to
change a different G GY.
And she came in, she read mychart too.
And I think it might be thatyounger generation of doctors
(35:58):
that are like, it's in thechart, you know, kind of like
just look at the chart.
Yeah, yeah.
I love that for us because man,I it's hard.
SPEAKER_01 (36:07):
You do love that for us.
SPEAKER_00 (36:08):
There's too much medical between the two of us.
SPEAKER_01 (36:13):
We could have we could have five podcast episodes
over that.
Oh my god, but yeah, we're notgetting into any of that.
SPEAKER_00 (36:19):
Absolutely.
Yep, but but oh man, so yeah,yeah, that's we had a
full-packed uh I like when we'rewe're doing this this way
because we have a lot to talkabout.
But when we get together, peoplemight think that we just get
together to talk like this, butwe're talking all week through
text and yeah, and this is howwe talk.
SPEAKER_01 (36:40):
It is we're not I don't know about you, I'm not
doing anything different.
The only different thing I'mdoing is I look at our notes
because we have our notes thatwe want to talk about on the
podcast.
SPEAKER_00 (36:48):
Absolutely.
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (36:50):
And and we're leaving names out and and
certain things like that forprivacy issues, but other than
that, this is exactly how wetalk.
SPEAKER_00 (36:57):
Yep, absolutely, absolutely, and I think that's
the best way to do it becauseyou know, it's between like our
little chit-chats that we dohave, and when we bring
something up, um, you know, itdoes affect other people, and
that's kind of why we decided todo this because how many other
people are going through thesame things or having the same
things.
SPEAKER_01 (37:16):
And even if it just makes them laugh because they're
talking about you know, I used abidet and had a UTI too.
