a
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (04:05):
Is that a thing?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (04:06):
hot take this week
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (04:07):
A hot take this week?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (04:10):
like, 'cause I'm always pissed about
many things in my day-to-daylife, and so I just have misses
my hot take of the week.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (04:16):
Laura's hot take of the week.
This, uh, old money trend.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (04:21):
Yeah.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2 (04:21):
bullshit because it.
Okay, so for the uninitiatedthat aren't, you know, on the
pulse of the internet, likeRachel
squadcaster-442g_1_05 (04:32):
fingering things with the pulse or
something like that
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (04:35):
and me, who learns about them
squadcaster-442g_1_05-2 (04:37):
through
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (04:37):
months and months later through Rachel,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-2 (04:40):
Because I am hashtag unemployed.
I'm fun employed baby BB boat.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (04:46):
so the old money trend is like, oh,
that's a fashion trend of likeeveryone wants to look like
they're old, old money first.
What?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (04:56):
said thanks, Saltburn or whatever
that movie was.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (05:00):
I don't, no idea what you're
talking about.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (05:01):
up the tub water of that uh, old
money aesthetic.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (05:06):
I mean, I fucking love old money
aesthetic.
But here's the thing.
This is, this is my bitch aboutit.
Is that number one.
A lot of the, the women orpeople or whoever, you know, the
whole trend, quote unquote, is Idon't really get a lot of old
money vibes actually from them.
It's all just like preppy,right?
(05:28):
And also the trend of buyingquiet luxury.
That should always be the trend.
The trend being have less stuffof higher quality.
That is exactly what we shouldbe doing all of the damn time
because everything that we buynow is absolute shit, and it's
(05:50):
because we buy so much of it.
And if we actually bought fewerthings, then the companies
wouldn't feel the need to putout tissue paper, t-shirts on
repeat.
Every fucking year over and overand over.
And in fact, companies will putout a t-shirt and like you're
like, Ooh, this is nice.
And then after like six monthsor so of it selling, well,
(06:12):
they'll start to make it thinnerand shittier.
And I've seen it happen to likemultiple clothes'cause I'm a big
person, but I, when I findsomething and I like it, I will
buy it over and over again.
And I've seen it in action fromall kinds of different places.
And if we.
We're just more dedicated toquality over quantity.
As consumers, we would not be inthis pickle.
(06:34):
So that's, that's my bitch about
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (06:37):
the
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (06:37):
old money,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (06:37):
rush of buying new things.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (06:40):
dude.
Everyone go to that thriftstore.
It's fun.
And you do get a dopamine rush.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (06:44):
Yes.
Instead of buying the crap atMarshall's, go buy crap at the
Goodwill.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (06:48):
it is.
It's fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (06:51):
you feel a little better about it.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (06:53):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (06:53):
just got a shit ton of furniture for
a hundred dollars.
I don't think anybody needs anynew furniture anymore.
There's enough out there.
Just
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (06:59):
Truly, and you cannot find furniture
built like it used to be in likewhat the fifties, sixties,
seventies.
Like everything now is ply oil.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (07:07):
Yeah.
I think it's like 80.
She said it was like 40, 50
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (07:10):
Oh,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (07:10):
so.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (07:11):
is eighties is still fantastic in
quality, comparatively.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26 (07:15):
Right, right.
We
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (07:16):
I mean, shit, even the nineties,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-2 (07:20):
before, you know, the early two
thousands when everything
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_ (07:22):
Basically before Amazon, like anything
before Amazon, the quality isgonna be far superior or
anything that we can buy now.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (07:28):
But also the quality pieces are
really, really expensive too, atthe same time, and you know that
everything's more expensive, butI mean houses of the early two
thousands, either.
Here's something that I justlearned.
It's really simple.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (07:40):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (07:40):
don't know why I didn't know this
before, but houses are justliterally two by fours in sheet
rock.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (07:48):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_ (07:48):
Insulation.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (07:49):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (07:50):
I'm like, you could just punch
through that.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (07:52):
Yeah,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (07:53):
like go straight to the siding
outside and no wonder cars drivethrough houses all the time.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (07:58):
yeah,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (07:58):
mean, that's nuts.
My house here is inches ofmasonry.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (08:02):
yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (08:03):
safe in this bitch.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (08:04):
No, I get it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (08:05):
are, you're camping, Laura,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025 (08:09):
Basically, I grew up in a brick house.
I mean, it was like a suburbanbrick house, so, you know, it
wasn't like you said, 18 inchesof masonry.
But yeah, I mean that's, that'sthe kind of thing that I strive
for is that older styleeverything.
We were just talking about thisthe other day, about the, I
don't want old money, I wantoligarchy money.
(08:33):
Like that's, that's what I envy.
Just so much fucking money.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (08:39):
that lot in life.
I'm sorry.
I
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (08:40):
no, I know that I didn't.
I know that I didn't, but Iwanna fake it.
Or at least, no, not enough.
No, that's not true.
I don't wanna fake it because Idon't want people to think that
I have money when I don't.
I want to give that vibe.
Does that make
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (08:56):
you
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (08:56):
sense?
Yes.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (08:58):
See,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (08:59):
that make me say something about me?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (09:01):
I don't want to emulate, like, I
don't wanna be worried aboutwhat the rich people are
wearing.
I want whatever I'm wearing tobe something a rich person's
wearing.
That's my vibe.
Hashtag motivational podcast.
Grind it out people.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (09:16):
I just like just seeing like the
old craftsmanship and all theseold houses and all this
different kind of stuff, and I'mlike, that's what I want.
I don't want mass producedbullshit.
I want custom carved, you know,I want.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (09:28):
you know, get a good old, creaky old
house with a stanky basement.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (09:35):
If only, okay.
What's your hot take of thisweek?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (09:38):
We don't need any more adaptations.
Live tape, blah, blah.
We don't need any more liveadaptations of animated films.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (09:44):
Preach.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (09:45):
is, I mean, that is like the literal
least hot take.
Hot take in the world right now.
I just keep seeing, um, snippetsof Lilo and Stitch, and I'm just
like, if it's a shot for shotremake, why I saw an ad for How
to Train Your Dragon.
I didn't even know they weremaking that a live action.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (10:02):
either.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (10:03):
And I, it looked animated.
It still looked animated.
I'm like, what is the point ofthis?
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:10):
I don't understand it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (10:11):
have we reached the point where
there's no new stories to tell?
I mean, I know there's no newstories, but like at least let
somebody like try to tellsomething new and original.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (10:20):
Yeah, I completely agree.
I was so confounded by the wholelive action thing when it first
started, I think with JungleBook I think was the first one,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (10:29):
I don't
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:29):
and I'm still like, I was like,
what's the point exactly?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (10:33):
seen a single one.
I've never even seen Beauty inthe Beast,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:36):
I haven't seen that one.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (10:38):
that
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:38):
A Scene Jungle book, and I think
that's honestly it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (10:42):
all animated animals.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:43):
I know,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (10:44):
the, what the hell is the Lion King
that.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:49):
I know.
And the Lion King is so good andit doesn't have all the songs.
Like that's the thing thatpisses me off.
I mean, I, like I said, I'venever seen them, but I've heard
they don't have all the songs.
That's part of the fun or allthe songs.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (11:00):
Yeah, and it just like, you can't make
a lion express that much emotionyou are making it look
realistic.
I mean, I think I heardsomewhere horses can make.
18 distinct emotions on theirfaces.
Horses, and that's one more thandogs who have like, you know,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (11:19):
Yeah,
squadcaster-442g_1 (11:20):
non-verbally
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (11:21):
lions have zero.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (11:22):
Yeah, I'm sure a lion is two.
So it's just like, how are yougonna stretch that over the
course of a movie?
I don't know.
I didn't see it.
I'm not a Disney person.
I'm not a Disney adult.
I also have, hmm.
I get the best chat in Freudwhen people post long videos
about how their trips to DisneyWorld were bad.
I'm like, yes, yes.
It's
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (11:42):
I,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (11:42):

laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (11:43):

squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (12:40):
Same.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (12:43):
You should identify.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26 (12:44):
house, that's for sure.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (12:46):
Well, another thing that I've got
going on is my latest bingewatch, uh, been watching White
Lotus.
I've never seen it.
I'm wa I just watched
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (13:00):
know what it's about at
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (13:01):
Oh.
So I, IKI kind of knew.
Yeah, I kind of knew too.
So I just finished season one.
Yeah, each season is like a newcast of characters, rich people
in like a resort location,wherever.
Like the first one was inHawaii.
The second one is in Sicily.
(13:21):
I think the third one isThailand.
That's the one that just cameout and it's, I, I'm gonna, I
finished the first season prettyquickly.
I will continue watching.
I am a little bit confused onwhy it's such a hit.
I don't.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-2 (13:39):
because it's scandalous.
I heard the latest season hasincest and
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (13:41):
Yes.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (13:42):
all I know.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (13:43):
Yeah, I have heard that as well.
In the first season, there's notreally a ton of scandal.
Scandal.
There is a full on shot of cockand balls, which is not
something that you see often.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (13:54):
that is a rarity.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (13:56):
Yeah.
And I was like, oh, okay.
And it wasn't in a sexualcontents context, which I
thought was even funnier.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (14:02):
Was there Bush
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (14:04):
Oh yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (14:05):
men
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (14:06):
It was a, it was a middle, it was a
middle aged man.
And he is like, my balls areswollen.
And his wife is like, are theylike, it's just me.
squadcaster-442g_1_05- (14:16):
Domestic
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (14:17):
I, I, I, and it's also the whole
thing with White Lotus is thatlike they're all supposed to be
just like the worst kind ofpeople in the world.
And to be fair, I am only on thefirst season and I hear that it
gets worse and I feel like noneof the people were.
Great.
But none of them were like evil.
(14:38):
You know what I mean?
And I'm like, is this the point?
Am I supposed to hate everybodybecause of their privilege?
Or am I supposed to be lookingat this critically and being
like, yeah, they're kind offucked up, but aren't we all
kind of fucked up?
I don't know it.
It's leaving me with a lot ofquestions and I wanna, I wanna
go to Reddit with thosequestions.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (14:56):
Do it.
Go on Reddit.
There will always be lots ofdiscussion.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (15:00):
Yeah.
And they'll always tell me I'mwrong.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (15:02):
Yeah,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2 (15:03):
Probably a racist.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05 (15:05):
probably.
And if you mention you havechildren, oof, get ready for
some down votes
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (15:10):
Get back.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (15:13):
or mention being happy as a parent.
That's another thing that reallysets people off.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (15:16):
Mm, fair.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (15:18):
Yep.
But I've also watching a showabout rich people, I'm only like
two episodes in, or threeepisodes in, it's called Sirens.
It's on
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (15:26):
Ooh, I have that on my list.
That's on my watch list.
It seems weird.
I like it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (15:31):
is, it's, I mean, that's what makes
it interesting to watch.
It's got Julianne Moore in it,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (15:36):
I love her.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (15:37):

laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (15:44):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (15:45):

We never would've got to see herbecause she doesn't have iPhone
face.
She has a unique face.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (15:50):
Yes.
squadcaster-442g_1_05- (15:51):
Julianne Moore and thinks that woman
isn't attractive?
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (15:53):
That that woman needs an iPhone face.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (15:56):
Yeah, she needs to have her buccal fat
or whatever.
Buckle fat suckled out,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (15:59):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (16:02):
or you know, like nose job and all
these things.
And it's just like,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2 (16:06):
Everyone looks the fucking same nowadays.
It's awful.
It is.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (16:10):
is.
Oh man.
But
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (16:11):
And that
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (16:12):
it and I just keep expecting her to
be like, Jack, I can't do it.
I can't do a Boston accent.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (16:19):
you know the bean town tonight?
Oh God.

squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (16:38):
I
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (16:39):
a 30 rock reference.
Y'all Steel trap?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (16:41):

laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (16:48):
Socks.

laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (16:51):
Is it the Red Sox or the White Sox?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (16:53):
one of the socks.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (16:54):
Yes.
SOX, right?
That's how they spell it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (16:58):
Yep.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (16:58):
know.
I'm not a sports person.
I want her to watch that.
Maybe that'll be next after ourwhite lotus, because yeah, she
is a great beauty, a unique, aunique beauty, and I do enjoy
watching her.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (17:08):
the rest of it's pretty good too.
It's interesting.
I, I wanted to continuewatching, which I
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (17:14):
That's the hallmark of a good show.
Do you wanna watch the nextepisode?
Yeah, it's good.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (17:18):
Yeah,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:18):
it doesn't matter.
Whatever else you think aboutit.
If you're like, God, the actingis bad, and duh, the sets are
dumb and the themes are stupid,do you wanna watch the next
episode?
If the answer is yes, it's agood show.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (17:31):
and Netflix has the formula worked
out though.
'cause you'll be like losinginterest about 40 minutes in and
then
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:36):
Oh yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (17:36):
a bunch
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:37):
And
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (17:37):
right at the end.
You're like, okay,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (17:38):
then a sting gotta come back.
Yep.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (17:40):
They got that formula down, they
perfected that with Strangerthings and they've been riding
that forever.
Um, another
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (17:46):
Good for them.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (17:47):
show that I've watched that we
consumed really quickly was theresidence,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (17:51):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (17:51):
like a clue murder mystery in
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:53):
I watched that one.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-2 (17:54):
watched it?
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:55):
I did.
Yeah,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (17:56):
I thought it was too long, too
long,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:59):
I would agree with that.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (18:00):
A little less narrative, like,
okay, just
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (18:04):
Little less bird talk.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (18:05):
I mean the, I like birds.
I didn't need the whole timelapse.
Like she could've just solved itthat night.
That would've been fine.
But I guess they had to, I don'tknow the whole, her having to go
to South America, it was justsuch a cute, the first episode
was so good, and then it just,it's just too long.
They needed a little bit heavierhand in the editing room.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (18:23):
I would agree with that.
I really like the, the actressshe was in, uh, oranges, the New
Black.
She's really fun to watch.
She's really good.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (18:30):
Uzo,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (18:32):
Zy sounds right.
But yeah, I, I did really likeher and actually.
It was interesting as I waswatching it, I think it was
right around the time that wedid the asexual episode, and I
was like, is she asexual?
squadcaster-442g_1_05 (18:44):
Probably.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (18:45):
like, yeah, like it made like no
reference to, you know, being aninterested in men or women or
like, you know, kind of like a,I don't give a shit about
relationships at all.
And I was like, huh.
I don't know.
It just, it came to me, but I, Idid, I enjoyed it, but I agree
it is, it was a little bit toolong.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (19:03):
Yeah, because I mean the fir, the
first episode or two was justlike so tight, so snappy and
like the style, the editing, thequick cuts.
I liked it.
It was really engaging.
And then by the time she waslike in South America, wherever.
She was looking,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (19:16):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26 (19:16):
nephew started coming in, I'm like, I
don't care about
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (19:18):
Oh yeah.
Yeah, totally.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (19:20):
I'm like, this
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (19:20):
I was like, what is happening?
I don't care.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (19:23):
Yeah.
Flashbacks to her childhood ofhow she got to be such a good,
I'm like, say that for thesequel or something,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (19:28):
Yeah, no.
Agreed.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (19:29):
to know that right now.
And
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (19:31):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (19:31):
don't think anybody would, that sounds
so bad.
I don't think people would carethis much.
I don't know if there'd be likea national or a big conference.
It's congressional investigationinto somebody's death if it
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (19:42):
I think it would, if it meant that
they could nail the oppositepolitical party, I a hundred
percent think that it would,yeah, that, and I think that's
what they were playing on,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (19:50):
And
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (19:50):
I like that.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (19:51):
what was the end?
I, I didn't really think thatwas super satisfying either.
Um, where they were just like,oh, the rich people.
It was like commentary,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (20:00):
I don't even remember.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (20:01):
Oh, the rich people buying politics
or their way into politics orthe real villains, something
like that.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (20:08):
I don't even remember.
Maybe I had lost interest bythat point.
I also watch TV shows sometimeswhen I'm like half asleep, you
know what I mean?
And I'm like, I, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (20:20):
I was like, oh, it's time for me
to
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (20:22):
That's one you.
Oh, that's one you really haveto pay attention to.
That's one you really gotta payattention to.
I got the chest.
Well, maybe now though, insteadof watching TV until I fall
asleep, maybe I'll be playingvideo games because apparently
I'm beginning my new video gameera.
(20:42):
Uh, we got a free Nintendoswitch and I'm ready to relive
my glory days.
Playing Mario Kart and SoulCaliber in a smoky, nasty, nasty
basement.
I gotta get the smoky and thenasty basement.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (20:59):
Well, it's just a different kind of
nasty when you have children.
It's
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (21:02):
True.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (21:04):
but because of jelly this
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (21:05):
vaguely of pee.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (21:07):
yeah, not beer this time, it's
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (21:10):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (21:10):
piss.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (21:11):
Yeah.
But I'm looking forward to it.
I think it'll be fun for Austenand I, my husband to, uh, play
some games together and I don'tknow, instead of just like
staring at our phones orwatching a TV show that neither
of us enjoy.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (21:25):
Yeah, it's cooperative.
Like my
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (21:26):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (21:27):
I were really into a bird board
game for a while there, and thatwas pretty nice times.
Uh, video games are, I say aregood, like they're good at
rewiring your brain.
Like my husband plays a lot ofvideo games and he's like really
good at recognizing
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (21:38):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (21:39):
doing those kind of things.
I felt that too when I started.
I'm not a big video game.
I play like the Sims.
Like that's my, that's my game.
Um, but I started playing thisDino game, which is like a
multiplayer online,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (21:52):
Oh, we know all about your Dino
game.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (21:54):
I know, I, I mean, I just talk
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (21:56):
What's the name of it?
Is it just Dino Game?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (21:58):
No, it's called Path of Titans.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (22:00):
Path of Titans.
Got it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (22:02):
with me and grow some Dinos, I do
play on the switch and we'reoutta switch jail.
So I actually am playing withother people now and not just
like the handful of other switchplayers.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (22:11):
How'd you get an OUTTA switch?
Jail.
What is Switch Jail.
squadcaster-442g_1_05- (22:15):
Nintendo wasn't taking their updates.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (22:18):
Oh,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (22:19):
here.
Um, so all of us who wereplaying on Nintendo switches
were on like two update old.
Uh, game.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (22:28):
you were all like segregated with
each other.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (22:31):
could only really play with each other
because
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (22:33):
You were in the ghetto.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (22:34):
who was smart yeah.
Downloaded the new version.
So I guess you could play withus if you didn't update your
game.
But anyways, I am out there inthe real world now and it goy,
but it, like,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (22:46):
scary,
squadcaster-442g_1_05- (22:46):
rewiring my brain.
You know, the, like the firstcouple days I played it, I was
very attuned to like footstepsounds that are around
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (22:54):
like in real life.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26 (22:55):
'cause you play
laura-b_1_05-26-20 (22:56):
Interesting.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (22:57):
and you have to like listen out for
the other Dinos around you andthat kind of stuff.
So I was like in tune to it andI would like recognize plants
that looked like the plants inthe video game.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (23:06):
Hmm
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (23:06):
it just, you, the problem with
video games is it get your brainall geared up after your kids go
to bed, and then it messes withyour sleep and
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (23:14):
Hmm.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (23:15):
like a zombie the next day.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (23:16):
And kind of like the, probably the
blue light stuff doesn't help aswell.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (23:20):
well I have my little, my, my Fitbit
watch and it would tell me likemy stress levels, like playing
video games and then sometimesit wouldn't calm down until like
four in the morning, and
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (23:32):
What?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (23:33):
two hours before my kid wake up,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (23:35):
Geez.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (23:37):
it's just like I'm sleeping, but it's
not super restful.
laura-b_1_05-26-20 (23:40):
Interesting.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (23:42):
So I
laura-b_1_05-26-20 (23:42):
Interesting.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (23:43):
games because I think it's fun.
I would like.
When you first get into a game,all you wanna do is sit and play
the video game.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (23:48):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05 (23:49):
literally get addicted and it's kind of
hard.
There's just not a lot of roomin my life, and I'm assuming
your life either for like, to bethat level of obsession.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (23:59):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (24:00):
but I mean, if you play like fun z
games, like that'll be fun.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (24:04):
Yeah.
I like, I'm not so much into,yeah, I'm, I'm into those kinds
of games.
Like, I used to really likefighting games because it's like
quick to the point, like soulcaliber.
So, you know, you choose yourcharacter and you learn.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (24:16):
Super Smash Brothers.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (24:18):
Yeah.
Super Smash Brothers is fun too.
I like that one.
Uh, it's hard.
I, I find Super Smash Brothersto be very difficult.
I get my ass kicked every time.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (24:27):
it's either like people have been
training their whole lives toplay it like they're like
Olympic levels
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (24:31):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-442g_1_05- (24:31):
somebody who just like is playing with
their friends and has no cluewhat they're
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (24:34):
Yep, yep, yep.
Same.
Same.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (24:36):
I'm like, oh wait, I think my person
got knocked off the little gamepiece here or whatever.
The little board.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (24:41):
But yeah, that's why I like the
self-contained ones because it'sfun.
You do it, and it's kind ofover.
But I can definitely see theappeal of the immersive, you
know, and, and my husband isdefinitely, uh, vulnerable to
that kind of addiction as I haveseen.
Several times throughout ourrelationship in marriage that
(25:02):
there has been several rabbitholes.
He's gone down throughout theyears, uh, of games that we
maybe had to have a talk.
So, uh, hopefully we don't getthis way with switch, but we'll
have to see.
Or at least maybe if it'ssomething we can play together,
like a Zelda game, maybe we cango down the rabbit hole together
and then our whole lives willfall apart.
We'll just quit our jobs.
(25:22):
It just
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (25:24):
Yep.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (25:24):
Zelda.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (25:25):
games all day.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (25:26):

nature while, uh, the summerlast,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (26:13):
while we have it.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_ (26:15):
something nice about backyard barbecues
and getting eaten alive bymosquitoes.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (26:20):
I you to say summer's like my
least favorite time to beoutside.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (26:24):
It's like the early summer.
It's wonderful.
Like right now.
Right now it's really good.
But then, you know, as we startto get in and you step outside
and you're like, oh my God, didI just step into a pool?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (26:36):
Yeah.
It's like it's a sauna.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (26:38):

At the top of the episode, wejust take it out and let you get
straight to the meat in the
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (00:55):
The meat.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (00:56):

quality research, just in ashorter, tighter format.

called summer laziness, whereI'm just like, I don't wanna
work in the summer.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (02:01):
That's fair.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (02:01):

Um, but I, it's not unusual forus to take a little bit of time
off in the summer and a

No.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (02:09):

laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (04:05):
Is that a thing?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (04:06):
hot take this week
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (04:07):
A hot take this week?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (04:10):
like, 'cause I'm always pissed about
many things in my day-to-daylife, and so I just have misses
my hot take of the week.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (04:16):
Laura's hot take of the week.
This, uh, old money trend.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (04:21):
Yeah.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2 (04:21):
bullshit because it.
Okay, so for the uninitiatedthat aren't, you know, on the
pulse of the internet, likeRachel
squadcaster-442g_1_05 (04:32):
fingering things with the pulse or
something like that
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (04:35):
and me, who learns about them
squadcaster-442g_1_05-2 (04:37):
through
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (04:37):
months and months later through Rachel,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-2 (04:40):
Because I am hashtag unemployed.
I'm fun employed baby BB boat.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (04:46):
so the old money trend is like, oh,
that's a fashion trend of likeeveryone wants to look like
they're old, old money first.
What?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (04:56):
said thanks, Saltburn or whatever
that movie was.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (05:00):
I don't, no idea what you're
talking about.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (05:01):
up the tub water of that uh, old
money aesthetic.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (05:06):
I mean, I fucking love old money
aesthetic.
But here's the thing.
This is, this is my bitch aboutit.
Is that number one.
A lot of the, the women orpeople or whoever, you know, the
whole trend, quote unquote, is Idon't really get a lot of old
money vibes actually from them.
It's all just like preppy,right?
(05:28):
And also the trend of buyingquiet luxury.
That should always be the trend.
The trend being have less stuffof higher quality.
That is exactly what we shouldbe doing all of the damn time
because everything that we buynow is absolute shit, and it's
(05:50):
because we buy so much of it.
And if we actually bought fewerthings, then the companies
wouldn't feel the need to putout tissue paper, t-shirts on
repeat.
Every fucking year over and overand over.
And in fact, companies will putout a t-shirt and like you're
like, Ooh, this is nice.
And then after like six monthsor so of it selling, well,
(06:12):
they'll start to make it thinnerand shittier.
And I've seen it happen to likemultiple clothes'cause I'm a big
person, but I, when I findsomething and I like it, I will
buy it over and over again.
And I've seen it in action fromall kinds of different places.
And if we.
We're just more dedicated toquality over quantity.
As consumers, we would not be inthis pickle.
(06:34):
So that's, that's my bitch about
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (06:37):
the
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (06:37):
old money,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (06:37):
rush of buying new things.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (06:40):
dude.
Everyone go to that thriftstore.
It's fun.
And you do get a dopamine rush.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (06:44):
Yes.
Instead of buying the crap atMarshall's, go buy crap at the
Goodwill.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (06:48):
it is.
It's fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (06:51):
you feel a little better about it.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (06:53):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (06:53):
just got a shit ton of furniture for
a hundred dollars.
I don't think anybody needs anynew furniture anymore.
There's enough out there.
Just
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (06:59):
Truly, and you cannot find furniture
built like it used to be in likewhat the fifties, sixties,
seventies.
Like everything now is ply oil.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (07:07):
Yeah.
I think it's like 80.
She said it was like 40, 50
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (07:10):
Oh,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (07:10):
so.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (07:11):
is eighties is still fantastic in
quality, comparatively.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26 (07:15):
Right, right.
We
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (07:16):
I mean, shit, even the nineties,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-2 (07:20):
before, you know, the early two
thousands when everything
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_ (07:22):
Basically before Amazon, like anything
before Amazon, the quality isgonna be far superior or
anything that we can buy now.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (07:28):
But also the quality pieces are
really, really expensive too, atthe same time, and you know that
everything's more expensive, butI mean houses of the early two
thousands, either.
Here's something that I justlearned.
It's really simple.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (07:40):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (07:40):
don't know why I didn't know this
before, but houses are justliterally two by fours in sheet
rock.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (07:48):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_ (07:48):
Insulation.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (07:49):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (07:50):
I'm like, you could just punch
through that.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (07:52):
Yeah,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (07:53):
like go straight to the siding
outside and no wonder cars drivethrough houses all the time.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (07:58):
yeah,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (07:58):
mean, that's nuts.
My house here is inches ofmasonry.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (08:02):
yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (08:03):
safe in this bitch.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (08:04):
No, I get it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (08:05):
are, you're camping, Laura,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025 (08:09):
Basically, I grew up in a brick house.
I mean, it was like a suburbanbrick house, so, you know, it
wasn't like you said, 18 inchesof masonry.
But yeah, I mean that's, that'sthe kind of thing that I strive
for is that older styleeverything.
We were just talking about thisthe other day, about the, I
don't want old money, I wantoligarchy money.
(08:33):
Like that's, that's what I envy.
Just so much fucking money.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (08:39):
that lot in life.
I'm sorry.
I
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (08:40):
no, I know that I didn't.
I know that I didn't, but Iwanna fake it.
Or at least, no, not enough.
No, that's not true.
I don't wanna fake it because Idon't want people to think that
I have money when I don't.
I want to give that vibe.
Does that make
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (08:56):
you
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (08:56):
sense?
Yes.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (08:58):
See,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (08:59):
that make me say something about me?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (09:01):
I don't want to emulate, like, I
don't wanna be worried aboutwhat the rich people are
wearing.
I want whatever I'm wearing tobe something a rich person's
wearing.
That's my vibe.
Hashtag motivational podcast.
Grind it out people.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (09:16):
I just like just seeing like the
old craftsmanship and all theseold houses and all this
different kind of stuff, and I'mlike, that's what I want.
I don't want mass producedbullshit.
I want custom carved, you know,I want.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (09:28):
you know, get a good old, creaky old
house with a stanky basement.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (09:35):
If only, okay.
What's your hot take of thisweek?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (09:38):
We don't need any more adaptations.
Live tape, blah, blah.
We don't need any more liveadaptations of animated films.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (09:44):
Preach.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (09:45):
is, I mean, that is like the literal
least hot take.
Hot take in the world right now.
I just keep seeing, um, snippetsof Lilo and Stitch, and I'm just
like, if it's a shot for shotremake, why I saw an ad for How
to Train Your Dragon.
I didn't even know they weremaking that a live action.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (10:02):
either.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (10:03):
And I, it looked animated.
It still looked animated.
I'm like, what is the point ofthis?
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:10):
I don't understand it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (10:11):
have we reached the point where
there's no new stories to tell?
I mean, I know there's no newstories, but like at least let
somebody like try to tellsomething new and original.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (10:20):
Yeah, I completely agree.
I was so confounded by the wholelive action thing when it first
started, I think with JungleBook I think was the first one,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (10:29):
I don't
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:29):
and I'm still like, I was like,
what's the point exactly?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (10:33):
seen a single one.
I've never even seen Beauty inthe Beast,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:36):
I haven't seen that one.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (10:38):
that
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:38):
A Scene Jungle book, and I think
that's honestly it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (10:42):
all animated animals.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:43):
I know,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (10:44):
the, what the hell is the Lion King
that.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (10:49):
I know.
And the Lion King is so good andit doesn't have all the songs.
Like that's the thing thatpisses me off.
I mean, I, like I said, I'venever seen them, but I've heard
they don't have all the songs.
That's part of the fun or allthe songs.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (11:00):
Yeah, and it just like, you can't make
a lion express that much emotionyou are making it look
realistic.
I mean, I think I heardsomewhere horses can make.
18 distinct emotions on theirfaces.
Horses, and that's one more thandogs who have like, you know,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (11:19):
Yeah,
squadcaster-442g_1 (11:20):
non-verbally
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (11:21):
lions have zero.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (11:22):
Yeah, I'm sure a lion is two.
So it's just like, how are yougonna stretch that over the
course of a movie?
I don't know.
I didn't see it.
I'm not a Disney person.
I'm not a Disney adult.
I also have, hmm.
I get the best chat in Freudwhen people post long videos
about how their trips to DisneyWorld were bad.
I'm like, yes, yes.
It's
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (11:42):
I,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (11:42):
fun.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (11:43):
I am not a Disney fanatic, but I
do.
I just love, I am not a Disneyfanatic.
I am an amusement per person.
I love amusement parks, kind ofacross the board.
Even a shitty trip to Six FlagsSt.
Louis.
I'm in.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (11:57):

City one of these days.

squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (12:08):
we're gonna vote a number one theme
park in America or some shitlike
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (12:11):
That's what they kept saying, the
billboards.
I'm like, is that true?
I don't know.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (12:14):
like, I
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (12:15):
It is.
If ask Laura, it's definitelynumber one in my book.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (12:18):
like what other theme Park has a
domestic terrorist group runningaround it, you know, it's just
like.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (12:24):
Oh,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26 (12:24):
Nobbs.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (12:25):
got it.
I was like, took me a minute,and I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (12:28):
I
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (12:28):
The bald numbers.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (12:29):
think Donald Duck or whoever the
villain of Disney World hasanything on the ball.
Nobbs.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (12:34):
Donald Duck is not a villain in Disney.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (12:37):
like a villain.
He's
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (12:38):
He's, he's just crabby.
He's just crabby.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (12:40):
Same.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (12:43):
You should identify.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26 (12:44):
house, that's for sure.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (12:46):
Well, another thing that I've got
going on is my latest bingewatch, uh, been watching White
Lotus.
I've never seen it.
I'm wa I just watched
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (13:00):
know what it's about at
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (13:01):
Oh.
So I, IKI kind of knew.
Yeah, I kind of knew too.
So I just finished season one.
Yeah, each season is like a newcast of characters, rich people
in like a resort location,wherever.
Like the first one was inHawaii.
The second one is in Sicily.
(13:21):
I think the third one isThailand.
That's the one that just cameout and it's, I, I'm gonna, I
finished the first season prettyquickly.
I will continue watching.
I am a little bit confused onwhy it's such a hit.
I don't.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-2 (13:39):
because it's scandalous.
I heard the latest season hasincest and
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (13:41):
Yes.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (13:42):
all I know.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (13:43):
Yeah, I have heard that as well.
In the first season, there's notreally a ton of scandal.
Scandal.
There is a full on shot of cockand balls, which is not
something that you see often.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (13:54):
that is a rarity.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (13:56):
Yeah.
And I was like, oh, okay.
And it wasn't in a sexualcontents context, which I
thought was even funnier.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (14:02):
Was there Bush
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (14:04):
Oh yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (14:05):
men
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (14:06):
It was a, it was a middle, it was a
middle aged man.
And he is like, my balls areswollen.
And his wife is like, are theylike, it's just me.
squadcaster-442g_1_05- (14:16):
Domestic
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (14:17):
I, I, I, and it's also the whole
thing with White Lotus is thatlike they're all supposed to be
just like the worst kind ofpeople in the world.
And to be fair, I am only on thefirst season and I hear that it
gets worse and I feel like noneof the people were.
Great.
But none of them were like evil.
(14:38):
You know what I mean?
And I'm like, is this the point?
Am I supposed to hate everybodybecause of their privilege?
Or am I supposed to be lookingat this critically and being
like, yeah, they're kind offucked up, but aren't we all
kind of fucked up?
I don't know it.
It's leaving me with a lot ofquestions and I wanna, I wanna
go to Reddit with thosequestions.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (14:56):
Do it.
Go on Reddit.
There will always be lots ofdiscussion.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (15:00):
Yeah.
And they'll always tell me I'mwrong.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (15:02):
Yeah,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2 (15:03):
Probably a racist.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05 (15:05):
probably.
And if you mention you havechildren, oof, get ready for
some down votes
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (15:10):
Get back.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (15:13):
or mention being happy as a parent.
That's another thing that reallysets people off.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (15:16):
Mm, fair.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (15:18):
Yep.
But I've also watching a showabout rich people, I'm only like
two episodes in, or threeepisodes in, it's called Sirens.
It's on
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (15:26):
Ooh, I have that on my list.
That's on my watch list.
It seems weird.
I like it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (15:31):
is, it's, I mean, that's what makes
it interesting to watch.
It's got Julianne Moore in it,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (15:36):

laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (15:44):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (15:45):

We never would've got to see herbecause she doesn't have iPhone
face.
She has a unique face.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (15:50):
Yes.
squadcaster-442g_1_05- (15:51):
Julianne Moore and thinks that woman
isn't attractive?
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (15:53):
That that woman needs an iPhone face.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (15:56):
Yeah, she needs to have her buccal fat
or whatever.
Buckle fat suckled out,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (15:59):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (16:02):
or you know, like nose job and all
these things.
And it's just like,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2 (16:06):
Everyone looks the fucking same nowadays.
It's awful.
It is.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (16:10):
is.
Oh man.
But
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (16:11):
And that
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (16:12):
it and I just keep expecting her to
be like, Jack, I can't do it.
I can't do a Boston accent.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (16:19):
you know the bean town tonight?

squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (16:38):
I
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (16:39):
a 30 rock reference.
Y'all Steel trap?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (16:41):

one of the socks.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (16:54):
Yes.
SOX, right?
That's how they spell it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (16:58):
Yep.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (16:58):
know.
I'm not a sports person.
I want her to watch that.
Maybe that'll be next after ourwhite lotus, because yeah, she
is a great beauty, a unique, aunique beauty, and I do enjoy
watching her.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (17:08):
the rest of it's pretty good too.
It's interesting.
I, I wanted to continuewatching, which I
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (17:14):
That's the hallmark of a good show.
Do you wanna watch the nextepisode?
Yeah, it's good.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (17:18):
Yeah,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:18):
it doesn't matter.
Whatever else you think aboutit.
If you're like, God, the actingis bad, and duh, the sets are
dumb and the themes are stupid,do you wanna watch the next
episode?
If the answer is yes, it's agood show.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (17:31):
and Netflix has the formula worked
out though.
'cause you'll be like losinginterest about 40 minutes in and
then
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:36):
Oh yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (17:36):
a bunch
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:37):
And
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (17:37):
right at the end.
You're like, okay,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (17:38):
then a sting gotta come back.
Yep.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (17:40):
They got that formula down, they
perfected that with Strangerthings and they've been riding
that forever.
Um, another
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (17:46):
Good for them.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (17:47):
show that I've watched that we
consumed really quickly was theresidence,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (17:51):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (17:51):
like a clue murder mystery in
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:53):
I watched that one.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-2 (17:54):
watched it?
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:55):
I did.
Yeah,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (17:56):
I thought it was too long, too
long,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (17:59):
I would agree with that.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (18:00):
A little less narrative, like,
okay, just
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (18:04):
Little less bird talk.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (18:05):
I mean the, I like birds.
I didn't need the whole timelapse.
Like she could've just solved itthat night.
That would've been fine.
But I guess they had to, I don'tknow the whole, her having to go
to South America, it was justsuch a cute, the first episode
was so good, and then it just,it's just too long.
They needed a little bit heavierhand in the editing room.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (18:23):
I would agree with that.
I really like the, the actressshe was in, uh, oranges, the New
Black.
She's really fun to watch.
She's really good.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (18:30):
Uzo,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (18:32):
Zy sounds right.
But yeah, I, I did really likeher and actually.
It was interesting as I waswatching it, I think it was
right around the time that wedid the asexual episode, and I
was like, is she asexual?
squadcaster-442g_1_05 (18:44):
Probably.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (18:45):
like, yeah, like it made like no
reference to, you know, being aninterested in men or women or
like, you know, kind of like a,I don't give a shit about
relationships at all.
And I was like, huh.
I don't know.
It just, it came to me, but I, Idid, I enjoyed it, but I agree
it is, it was a little bit toolong.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (19:03):
Yeah, because I mean the fir, the
first episode or two was justlike so tight, so snappy and
like the style, the editing, thequick cuts.
I liked it.
It was really engaging.
And then by the time she waslike in South America, wherever.
She was looking,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (19:16):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26 (19:16):
nephew started coming in, I'm like, I
don't care about
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (19:18):
Oh yeah.
Yeah, totally.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (19:20):
I'm like, this
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (19:20):
I was like, what is happening?
I don't care.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (19:23):
Yeah.
Flashbacks to her childhood ofhow she got to be such a good,
I'm like, say that for thesequel or something,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (19:28):
Yeah, no.
Agreed.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (19:29):
to know that right now.
And
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (19:31):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (19:31):
don't think anybody would, that sounds
so bad.
I don't think people would carethis much.
I don't know if there'd be likea national or a big conference.
It's congressional investigationinto somebody's death if it
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (19:42):
I think it would, if it meant that
they could nail the oppositepolitical party, I a hundred
percent think that it would,yeah, that, and I think that's
what they were playing on,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (19:50):
And
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (19:50):
I like that.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (19:51):
what was the end?
I, I didn't really think thatwas super satisfying either.
Um, where they were just like,oh, the rich people.
It was like commentary,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (20:00):
I don't even remember.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (20:01):
Oh, the rich people buying politics
or their way into politics orthe real villains, something
like that.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (20:08):
I don't even remember.
Maybe I had lost interest bythat point.
I also watch TV shows sometimeswhen I'm like half asleep, you
know what I mean?
And I'm like, I, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (20:20):
I was like, oh, it's time for me
to
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (20:22):
That's one you.
Oh, that's one you really haveto pay attention to.
That's one you really gotta payattention to.
I got the chest.
Well, maybe now though, insteadof watching TV until I fall
asleep, maybe I'll be playingvideo games because apparently
I'm beginning my new video gameera.
(20:42):
Uh, we got a free Nintendoswitch and I'm ready to relive
my glory days.
Playing Mario Kart and SoulCaliber in a smoky, nasty, nasty
basement.
I gotta get the smoky and thenasty basement.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (20:59):
Well, it's just a different kind of
nasty when you have children.
It's
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (21:02):
True.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (21:04):
but because of jelly this
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (21:05):
vaguely of pee.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (21:07):
yeah, not beer this time, it's
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (21:10):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (21:10):
piss.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (21:11):
Yeah.
But I'm looking forward to it.
I think it'll be fun for Austenand I, my husband to, uh, play
some games together and I don'tknow, instead of just like
staring at our phones orwatching a TV show that neither
of us enjoy.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (21:25):
Yeah, it's cooperative.
Like my
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (21:26):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (21:27):
I were really into a bird board
game for a while there, and thatwas pretty nice times.
Uh, video games are, I say aregood, like they're good at
rewiring your brain.
Like my husband plays a lot ofvideo games and he's like really
good at recognizing
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (21:38):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (21:39):
doing those kind of things.
I felt that too when I started.
I'm not a big video game.
I play like the Sims.
Like that's my, that's my game.
Um, but I started playing thisDino game, which is like a
multiplayer online,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (21:52):
Oh, we know all about your Dino
game.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2025 (21:54):
I know, I, I mean, I just talk
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (21:56):
What's the name of it?
Is it just Dino Game?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (21:58):
No, it's called Path of Titans.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (22:00):
Path of Titans.
Got it.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (22:02):
with me and grow some Dinos, I do
play on the switch and we'reoutta switch jail.
So I actually am playing withother people now and not just
like the handful of other switchplayers.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (22:11):
How'd you get an OUTTA switch?
Jail.
What is Switch Jail.
squadcaster-442g_1_05- (22:15):
Nintendo wasn't taking their updates.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (22:18):
Oh,
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (22:19):
here.
Um, so all of us who wereplaying on Nintendo switches
were on like two update old.
Uh, game.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (22:28):
you were all like segregated with
each other.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (22:31):
could only really play with each other
because
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (22:33):
You were in the ghetto.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (22:34):
who was smart yeah.
Downloaded the new version.
So I guess you could play withus if you didn't update your
game.
But anyways, I am out there inthe real world now and it goy,
but it, like,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205 (22:46):
scary,
squadcaster-442g_1_05- (22:46):
rewiring my brain.
You know, the, like the firstcouple days I played it, I was
very attuned to like footstepsounds that are around
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (22:54):
like in real life.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26 (22:55):
'cause you play
laura-b_1_05-26-20 (22:56):
Interesting.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (22:57):
and you have to like listen out for
the other Dinos around you andthat kind of stuff.
So I was like in tune to it andI would like recognize plants
that looked like the plants inthe video game.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (23:06):
Hmm
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (23:06):
it just, you, the problem with
video games is it get your brainall geared up after your kids go
to bed, and then it messes withyour sleep and
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20543 (23:14):
Hmm.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (23:15):
like a zombie the next day.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (23:16):
And kind of like the, probably the
blue light stuff doesn't help aswell.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (23:20):
well I have my little, my, my Fitbit
watch and it would tell me likemy stress levels, like playing
video games and then sometimesit wouldn't calm down until like
four in the morning, and
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (23:32):
What?
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (23:33):
two hours before my kid wake up,
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (23:35):
Geez.
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (23:37):
it's just like I'm sleeping, but it's
not super restful.
laura-b_1_05-26-20 (23:40):
Interesting.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-202 (23:42):
So I
laura-b_1_05-26-20 (23:42):
Interesting.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26- (23:43):
games because I think it's fun.
I would like.
When you first get into a game,all you wanna do is sit and play
the video game.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (23:48):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05 (23:49):

hard.
There's just not a lot of roomin my life, and I'm assuming
your life either for like, to bethat level of obsession.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_2054 (23:59):
Yeah.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-20 (24:00):

Yeah.
I like, I'm not so much into,yeah, I'm, I'm into those kinds
of games.

Uh, it's hard.
I, I find Super Smash Brothersto be very difficult.
I get my ass kicked every time.
squadcaster-442g_1_05-26-2 (24:27):
it's either like people have been
training their whole lives toplay it like they're like
Olympic levels
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_20 (24:31):
Mm-hmm.
squadcaster-442g_1_05- (24:31):

got knocked off the little gamepiece here or whatever.
The little board.
laura-b_1_05-26-2025_205433 (24:41):
But yeah, that's why I like the
self-contained ones because it'sfun.
You do it, and it's kind ofover.
But I can definitely see theappeal of the immersive, you
know, and, and my husband isdefinitely, uh, vulnerable to
that kind of addiction as I haveseen.
Several times throughout ourrelationship in marriage that
(25:02):
there has been several rabbitholes.
He's gone down throughout theyears, uh, of games that we
maybe had to have a talk.
So, uh, hopefully we don't getthis way with switch, but we'll
have to see.
Or at least maybe if it'ssomething we can play together,
like a Zelda game, maybe we cango down the rabbit hole together
and then our whole lives willfall apart.
We'll just quit our jobs.
