Yesterday it was a Mormon girland she told me that she did
dabble with it in like collegeor whatever.
Alcohol and weed and caffeinelike kind of rebelled from the
mormon lifestyle so she saw whatit was like saw what it was

(01:31):

A part of the cork was in thewine oh, and I just wasn't
expecting it.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Did you eat a bit of that cork?

Speaker 2 (03:03):
It felt like a hard rock.
So I was like, what is this?
Did glass break?

Speaker 1 (03:08):
I know that's not good.
You don't want to cut yourself.
You've been having a little bitof a week.
You know it's been busy.
I think me too I have likethese clients that are, you know
, just really busy.
They're trying to jump onsomething.
The hard part about like thismarket right now is the interest
rates.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
are everybody's waiting for them to just like
tank or even I don't know, butonce the interest rates go down
it's going to be a morecompetitive market.
Prices could go up.
So I don't really think thatthere's.
I know you got to jump onsomething right now for a deal,
right.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
And you notice stuff that is like priced right or
priced slightly lower.
They're getting multiple offersand then stuff that's priced a
little bit too high is justsitting.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
See if we found the perfect place right now.
You know we are looking forland.
I know, right now we live in aneighborhood and we want at
least five acres and we woulddefinitely pounce because you
know the interest rates.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
They do suck but you can refinance when they go down.
Yes, and I know that this isnot a real estate podcast but we
both are passionate about it.
I'm a new realtor, but workingin, like you know, property
management.
You come from a real estatefamily grandma, trudy and
grandpa were realtor.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I always thought I would do.
I just haven't gotten to it yet.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'm going to convince you.
One of these days, I will Markmy word.
Well, you know, it's so funny.
I was in this training programfor like two weeks as, like you
know, a new agent and there's alot of people that know your
cousin.

Speaker 2 (04:39):

with Katie, but she washilarious, the designer Katie
McKenna.
She was cracking me up.
I mean she's definitely bold,beautiful and, you know, not
afraid to say what's on her mind.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
No, it's one of my favorite episodes thus far it's
a very good message.
I'll say I didn't really domuch talking in that episode.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh shit, you which I'll say, I didn't really do
much talking in that episode.
Oh shit, you were making mefeel like I was like Mr what.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
You know what happened.
It was such a good episode andeverything she was saying was so
interesting that I was justlike absorbing it and eating it
up.
And then you kind of turnedinto Andy Cohen.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Trying to like take your, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
So I just kind of sat back and enjoyed I know and
listen.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
You look fabulous.
Let's open up that bottle.
Let's open it up.
We got the Eves Zeeves.
I cannot pronounce shit.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Do you want me to try ?
Yes, please pronounce it for me.
It is the Eves Zeeves Zero.
I don't know, it's really weirdfont.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
I'm not going to lie so we did this last time and we
could not figure it out for thelife of us.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Sparkling Riesling and it's non-alcoholic.
Alcohol removed white wine.
Last time you had somethinglike this, it did explode.
That was when you were goingthrough like a crazy breakup.
Yes and now seven months later,you're doing really well.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
I am.
There are these moments likewhen I talk about, like you know
, wearing the Penn State gear,like I would always watch
football, in the fall with thisex oh, I didn't know you did
that.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, okay.
We liked our football for thefall, so you liked watching
college football.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, I mean maybe for, like you know, the hotties
on the field, but I think it was.
I cannot get on board with thecollege football.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
It's like I'm gonna watch the steelers, I'm gonna
watch the nfl, but I just cannot.
I can't, you can't get into it.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
You know some people like it better because there's
not so many penalties and theselike politics that are involved
with the professional teams likethe steelers nfl.
But you know, when they watchthe college football they feel
like the game moves faster and,like you know, the players are
just like a little bit more,like on equal level playing
field, if you will, becausethey're in their 20s.

(06:53):
I hear you, yeah, yeah, yeah,you know or maybe they're not
like the best of the best,they're still, like you know
you're watching like a real game, like you really don't know,
like sometimes with these olderteams or these teams like the
browns or the bills, the buffalobills, like they've never
really been that good, yeah.
So you're always kind of awarelike who's the underdog and

(07:15):
who's the better team, right,the professionals, right.
But with the college teams,like I think it's a little bit
more exciting because you reallydon't know, like these students
are going in and out of schooland they're all in their 20s,
they're in the best shape oftheir lives.
They should be playing at, likeyou know, top tier, but I think
it's just this time of year.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's a little sad because that was our thing and,
like the leaves like it'sgetting a little chilly, turning
, it's starting to feel likefall.
I hear you, I've been likegetting those fall vibes, I step
outside.
I I've been sleeping with thewindows open at night because
it's dropping down into the 50shigh 50s and 60s and it just is
such a good feeling.
I love fall.
It's my favorite time of theyear.

(07:55):
I'm sorry that it's a littlerough for you though.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Well, hey, I got to live like you appreciate.
I'm back in the seasons.
I should be excited.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
You haven't cycled through all the seasons yet with
this breakup yeah, because thiswas a serious relationship that
you were in and right I'm likeit's been seven months like he's
good, but you really haven'tcycled through the seasons
that's what it is yeah you areso right, like I'm like, why am
I feeling a certain way?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
like I know, I've been hanging out with couples
nonstop.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
That's is that is that kind of annoying Like as a
single man?

Speaker 1 (08:33):
You know what?
I don't think it's as hard as aman as it would be my, my
girlfriends that are single.
I think it's harder for thembecause they really like maybe
want the relationship.
As a single guy, you're kind oflike, hey, like you know, I can
hang out with couples like nobig deal, as long as they're not
like being like all lovey doveyand like all over each other.

(08:53):
Because I think if you and Ryan, like you've been together for
10 years, and even my brotherand his wife, it's like you guys
aren't like all over each other, but newly into couples, like
new people that are dating Ithink that would be annoying if
I'm hanging out with a bunch ofpeople that are newly dating
yeah, just like too much pda.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I know you're not supposed to say it when you're
tired, but I'm tired today, soI'm trying to perk up, we gotta
perk you up.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
You want a little bit of, but you need to try the
bubbles um, yeah, is it not goodto mix?

Speaker 2 (09:21):
no, I can mix it.
Go ahead, put a little in there.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
It is from the Zero Proof, which is a company that's
.
I actually heard him on apodcast.
He was with the owner of themeatball shop.
I don't know if you ever wentto the meatball shop when you
visited me in New York.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Oh no, I didn't get a chance to.
Okay, well, yeah, he was just,we were too hungover, I think I
know we were always brunchingand doing the bottomless mimosas
.
Yeah okay, seriously, you couldgive this to people at a party
and they wouldn't even know.
And you could see who gets theplacebo effect, because this
tastes legit I know I couldtotally get like toasted on this

(09:58):
that's good, that's very good.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
A plus yep, it is 20 calories.
We don't really care about thecalories per serving, but this
is the thing four grams of sugarthat's perfect.
Four grams of sugar per serving.
That is an a plus you know what?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
it doesn't taste too sugar, I hate that sugar
aftertaste that you get when youhave too much sugar.
It's like disgusting, I can't.
I can't do it anymore.
I guess it's because I'm likein my 30s now.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
But my um grandma recently fell and she's 88.
It's a little bit scary but,like you know, she wasn't
drinking normally.
She likes to have a couplecocktails, you know, on a
weekend, or a couple beers, butyou know we are just so grateful
that she is doing better.
I think it's scary and, likeyou know, you even telling me
about like what you had gonethrough with like your grandma.

(10:50):
It's like it is just like youhave to just jump and be able to
kind of, you know, go see themat like wherever they are, and
like, spend as much time aspossible, because that's really
scary.
I mean, my grandfather is like91 and he was like he saw a pool
of blood when she fell, oh mygosh.
So she cut herself and she hasstitches on her eye.

(11:12):
She's 88.
And luckily she's doing like ahundred percent better.
I mean, she does have bruisingand she jokes about it.
She's like well, I'm ready forHalloween.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh, I love her.
Yeah, I'm glad that she doesn'thave any like brain injuries
from the fall no, that's reallyscary that like there was blood,
but luckily it's just becauseshe cut her face and I know you
just you did show me a pictureand it's hard to see her like
that, but I know she's gonnamake a good recovery and um it,
just it really makes you realizethat you, you need to just soak

(11:42):
up every moment you can withthem and we talked about this, I
was like I thank god that Ireally there was.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
An important part of moving home was to spend as much
time as I can with mygrandparents not only my parents
, I mean like they're younger,youngish, but it's like you as
well, like you get to have thatrelationship with your, your
children, your children get tohave the relationship with their
grandparents now, yeah, you'vemoved home, yeah and I think

(12:12):
that's so important.
But I guess, if you're likereally destined to live in like
I don't know, a certain part,like I could see people wanting
to be out west with themountains and the skiing oh my
gosh.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yes, no judgment at all.
I mean, it was just anon-negotiable thing.
Whenever we had children, Ijust I needed them to be around
their grandparents.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
They have all of them here still and it's not just
for the free babysitting right.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Well, it's absolutely .
That's a big part of it.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
But you know, I just I I want to raise family
oriented children yeah, so yougot mad at me about something
yesterday and I was like shitlike I get it because my best
friend, so like I consider, youknow, within the top five
besties um.
I know I'm definitely top two Iknow you are okay, so anyways, I

(12:59):
will say the one other friendand there is no comparison, male
, female, whatever, my male bestfriend.
He called me out one time whenI did something that I was like
shit.
I guess I didn't even think ofit, I was, I don't know why, but
I, and it was a similarexperience to what you and me
had just gone through yesterdayI do apologize like I don't.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I'm not here to control you or tell you how to
be or how to handle situations.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
You treat me like your husband, sometimes Like
you're supposed to try tocontrol me too.
I do.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
You love that control ?
I guess so, but I realize thatit's wrong and I do apologize.
Your work, husband, it's not mybusiness like what you do.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
But I just felt a little bit betrayed in a weird
way yesterday.
Well, you are sensitive and Ithink what I'm learning now and
you could even talk to somebodyelse um, I am really insensitive
oh, you are like 100.
I don't.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I don't like that about my bother me like, and I'm
not as sensitive as you think.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
I am or say I am.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
I can be, though you were just being a little bit of
a fake asshole to somebody.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Do you think I subconsciously did it to fuck
with you?

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, I kind of do oh shit.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Okay, all right, part of me was trying to dissect it.
I'm like, why did I do what Idid?
And then I realized, like I Idid try to describe it in a
really professional message toyou this morning okay, was that
chat gbt?

Speaker 2 (14:34):
yes it was, I was, I didn't, I didn't, did I answer,
I was like you were respondingto this bullshit.
It's chat, gbt, and I know thatyou put in like your thoughts
and then the chat gbt like soyou knew that it was way too
professional.
I knew and I was like what thefuck is this?
So then you called me and I waslike, okay, now I can talk to
the real ryan, that's not like arobot fuck, I hate this because

(14:58):
it's so addicting like I neverreally like.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
I got the app like months ago and then now working
in real estate, I'm like, oh wow, it makes my job so much more
efficient.
If I like, put all like thethoughts and even our podcast
descriptions yeah it's so easyto just implement like hey,
because we're not the best withlike so let's cut to the chase,
because I think people arecurious.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
You, I have an enemy, yes, and you kind of were like
a little too cool with them, yes, so I got a little upset this
is good to talk about.
I'm just gonna say right now Ijust felt a little betrayed.
If, if, if someone is my enemyand you're gonna be all fake
nice to them, then I feel thatyou're betraying me am I out of

(15:41):
line comment below if I'm out ofline so, yes, I actually agree
with you when you say it likethat.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
I didn't even think of it as an enemy because I
guess, yeah, you're right,because they came up to me yeah
did I cut this?
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
No okay, all right does it look like it it just
looks like maybe you did alittle cut.
It looks good.
I just was it like that before,no I definitely didn't cut it
looks good.
Look at this hair.
You've got like fair, likefarrah faucet hair you think?

(16:19):
Is that her name?
Farrah faucet?

Speaker 1 (16:21):
yeah, um, you know what I think it is?
I think it's just like wheneverI actually wash it.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Finally it's like this beautiful waves?
Have you heard about the boarshad meat thing?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (16:32):
There's been several recalls over the past couple
months and basically a facility.
Was it in Virginia?
I think it was their facilityin Virginia.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, is there a way you could pull it up?
I'm going to see.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
They found, like it was, bugs and mold and all sorts
of health violations at thefacility.
Seven people have died whatfrom eating boar's head meat.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Seven people, seven people have died and they've
confirmed it it's confirmed, andmany more hospitalized um my if
God, if we can pull up anarticle, we should.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
This needs to be talked about, because I'm like I
was already weird about lunchmeat.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Like I really don't do lunch meat Like it doesn't
look like a piece of meat rightLike it's like there's nothing
on an animal that looks likethat.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
There's nitrates in it and it's got way too many and
nitrates cause cancer it andit's got too many cancer.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Well, and I do think to myself like growing up with
nancy and stan frankowski.
It was all about lunch meat andI'm sure a lot of those people
from that generation aregrandparents oh, I grew up
eating lunch meat every day youdid oh my gosh.
Yeah, that's like what my mompacked for me to eat at school I
know, and it's weird to thinkabout like that, causing all
these health problems.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, I mean, I do steer clear for the most part.
Did you find it?

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yes, it says that a boar's head liverwurst sample
tested positive for the outbreakstrain of listeria.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Listeria.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
I am like so embarrassed when I try to
pronounce things, but anyway um,I support you for trying.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Like, thank you for trying, I know, and there's no
shame, yeah, everyone loves it,you know and just you know, not
as uh bright as the next youhave your strengths and you have
your weaknesses, just likeeveryone else does.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
So, yeah, listeria and um listeria in the testing
last month in maryland healthdepartment, prompting the
expanded recall 18 states.
Where were the 57 cases in thelast outbreak took place,
including arizona, florida,georgia, illinois, indiana,

(18:48):
maryland, massachusetts,minnesota, missouri, new jersey,
new, but I mean pennsylvania.
The first case was reported onmay 29th of 2024.
Oh man, the last occurred onaugust 16th yeah, wow, some
people are suing boar's headthat's's many months.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
I mean they had plenty of time to get their shit
together, yeah, and they didn't.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Even when it was refrigerated, it can last up to
10 weeks.
Listeria can.
It can take up to 10 weeks forsome people to develop symptoms.
What yes?
No 10 weeks up to.
Oh, that's terrifying.
I know Bacteria contaminatesmany foods.
You know a third leading causeof death from foodborne illness

(19:31):
in the U?
S each year an estimated of1600 Americans are infected with
listeria and 260 die from it.
Whoa, that's crazy to thinkabout, but I guess 260 in the
United States.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
That's why, when you're pregnant, they say don't
eat like lunch meat, don't eatsoft cheeses.
These are all things that canbe infected with it yeah, you
don't always um.
I I guess not everybody getssick from it right, so sometimes
when you're pregnant, you havea weakened immune system.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Pregnant and 65 and over.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, and probably little kids too.
But oh my gosh, disgusting,right.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, I mean, what are we going to do?
Just kind of steer clear fromBoar's Head?

Speaker 2 (20:19):
I would not do Boar's Head again.
There's no way they can makethat right.
People have died.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah.
And they're such a popularbrand and it's happening again
in august.
They had time to rectify that,I know, but you know what?
I think it takes 10 weeks.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
So they tried and you know it's their equipment yes
maybe they're not cleaning,though like properly that's kind
of scary it's just gross.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Anyways, this is fucking good.
I want to go to BottomlessBrunch with you and have this
sparkling Riesling.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Let's do it.
Where can we go in Pittsburghthat has a good brunch?

Speaker 1 (20:54):
We need to get a brunch.
I want to get Litty Cat.
But I want to get Litty Cat onMox.

Speaker 2 (20:58):

which kind are you talkingabout?

Speaker 2 (21:06):

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Oh good, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true, you don't do
the mocks as much as I do.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
No.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
But do you think that you'll switch over eventually?
Am I going to convince you?

Speaker 2 (21:17):
It's hard to say With this upcoming thing that I'm
hoping happens in my life thislife change, this event.
I could see myself cutting backsignificantly because I'd be
busy.
I know you'd be busy doing someprojects or busy working and
you know, being able to, I'dhave a lot of projects.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, we'll just say that.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, we'll just say that so.
I could definitely because,okay, listen, I have painted at
least three houses now.
Oh, my God, entire homes likeentire interior homes that I
lived in yes and that was unpaid.
I've painted other houses too.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
I painted your family I know, and the bathroom, my
bedroom listen.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
There was one time I'm like I hate painting, I
don't want to do this, but Ineed to get it done.
So I open up a bottle of winebecause I'm like, oh, this will
make it more interesting.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Was it.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
I spilled paint everywhere.
It was messy, it was sloppy.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Like.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
I was like, oh, that was a bad idea.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Like I had a mess to clean up.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
I'm like it was so much more stressful.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I know.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
And so no, I am not doing that if I have like
projects.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah, you're going to be so busy with projects, like
you know, working with me oninterior design jobs, right, and
like I just think I know whatit's like because I remember I
like had hit like a jointwhenever I was on a job.
And I was like, was on aconstruction site and one of the
contractors was like, hey, doyou want to hit?

(22:52):
And I'm like, yeah, sure, Ihave very low tolerance.
And I'm like, oh my God, I'm alittle bit nervous.
I'm kind of moving like this.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Oh my God, I think it's just some of us don't have
the tolerance to be, like, youknow, working and did want to
talk about that.
So I just we did want to talkabout like weed right and, oh
yeah, the tea break.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
A lot of people are now having to take a tolerance
break because, through thepandemic and, like you know now
everybody, it's a little bitmore accessible.
Recreational you know, in Ohiorecreational marijuana THC use
is legal.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, Well, and I want to say that it like which
is kind of crazy pot pot canreally make you paranoid.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yes, and I know a lot of people that say that like
they're like, I don't do itbecause it makes me paranoid.
I never understood that.
But then if I look back whenthey're like I don't do it
because it makes me paranoid, Inever understood that.
But then if I look back when Ifirst tried it, it did make me
paranoid.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Let's talk about some of our experiences, because
I've had a 50 50 split.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
You had some good times and some weird times.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
So my best time was laying on a picnic table just
looking up at the stars,thinking about outer space.
That was the best time I everhad.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
On on when I like smoked weed Okay.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Now I've had other experiences where I'm like
seeing things that aren't there,like maybe it was laced with
something.
I don't know Like there was onetime I was a passenger in a car
and every mailbox I thought waslike a person about to step into
the road and I'm like justtotally paranoid step into the
road and I'm like just totallyparanoid and then and then, like
the light, even the like redlights, green lights, they look

(24:31):
they're like 200 meters away,but they look like they're like
50 meters away and I'm like, ohmy god, like yeah, stop, stop,
you're freaking out, you'regonna go through the light.
You're gonna blow the light andthen like there was another time
I smoked like chronic out of agravity bong and people were
actually like out of the cornerof my eye.
It looked like they wererocking back and forth.

(24:51):
Yeah, and then I look andthey're not.
And it's like what is going on,but the music there was like
music playing.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
That makes the music super intense With like bass.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, and I was like oh fuck, it was like shitty
music and I'm like this is thebest music I ever heard.
So you've had some moreparanoid, scary experiences than
you've had good and then, justwhen you smoke and your feet
sometimes feel like there'scinder blocks attached to them,
have you ever had that happen?

Speaker 1 (25:20):
I think so One time, I think it was indica yeah, yeah
.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
So let me hear some of your experiences.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Me and the ex would take them every so often like
these, really intense at a umedible indica.
So it was just like so goofyand laughy and then you'd like
fall asleep and then you wouldfeel like drowsy the next day if
you didn't get like 10 hours Ihave actually experienced that,
where I'm like really drowsy andit takes me like hours to wake

(25:48):
up kind of and feel like I haveenergy again.
It's just like coffee doesn'twork.
You cannot, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
You can't plow through it with coffee.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
No, and when I would plow through it with coffee it
would take me like probablythree times the amount of
caffeine to like perk up.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
And then you end up having like heart palpitations
because, it's like oh shit, Ihad too much coffee.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Now I know I kind of think if anything, I think it
might be better than being anElkie, because I think in some
ways the alcohol can destroyyour liver, and with the weed,
it's like— I think both are bad.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
I think both are bad.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Well, I mean, if you talk to doctors, they would
agree.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
I mean, look at the Mormons and their lifestyle.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
They actually don't even do caffeine, because
caffeine is a drug I know.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
And you know what I did take a week off recently of
caffeine.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
It felt amazing.
I mean, I get a headache.
So I didn't get a headache, Ithink it was.
I don't know what it felt likethe first day.
It was like kind of a weirdfeeling of like I'm fully awake
but I'm like having these littlelike I need to, like I needed
to find a reason to like havecoffee.

(26:57):
Like I was looking for a reasonI was looking to go to the shop
, like just to get out of theoffice, or like I was like my
brain was like what I talked tosomeone and they were like I
gave up coffee, I gave upalcohol, like no weed, no, no,
nothing.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
They don't do anything that's considered a
drug it was a mormon girl andshe told me that, um, you know,
she did dabble with it in likecollege or whatever and then
dabbled with like alcohol andweed and caffeine like kind of
rebelled from the mormonlifestyle.
So she saw what it was like, sawwhat it was like and then
dabbled with like alcohol andweed and caffeine, like kind of
rebelled from the mormonlifestyle, so she saw what it
was like saw what it was likeand then she said nothing was
better than when she stopped allof it, because she felt like

(27:36):
she was her old self again, likeit's.
Like, you know, when you'relike a kid and you just don't
need any of that stuff like it'slike she felt it was just
ridiculous to like need that.
She just felt happy and herselfas she was when she was a child
, and I'm like that's reallyappealing.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Do you know what it's so funny?
You say that I feel like when Iwas taking the caffeine out for
a week and I was in the office,I felt like the goofiest
version of myself because I justlike I don't know like being
sober, it's like people will allbe like wait, what like?
Did you have a problem like?
And I was like, well, likelow-key, I had a problem, but I

(28:17):
don't think I had a problemcompared to like the masses.
So in some weird way I was likeI felt like a child too, like I
was kind of like playing thesegames, like laughing, goofing
off, pretending like just beingfun that's the thing I get like
when I've taken pauses from likealcohol and things like that.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
I get like a little weird, like really really goofy,
to the point where it's likeI'm kind of immature and I don't
know if people can tolerate melike.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Truly, I don't know you probably do um like to fuck
around with people oh, I love tofuck around and find out.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
People go oh, fuck around and find out, I will,
yeah, you will, I'll do it.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, she will.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
She will fuck around with me and find out so I was at
the park with my kids the otherday and I was just like
chilling and I look over in andthere's this like dude over by
like the baseball fields byhimself, just like standing
there by himself and he has likethis long hair, and I saw him
reach his hand down his pantsand like scratch his asshole and

(29:25):
then I saw him, he ran hisfingers through his hair, then
he smelled it and then he lickedhis fingers.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
I almost called the cops I can't believe this, like
you're fucking bullshitting me.
See, you always see thecraziest shit, like I don't know
how I saw it.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Like I don't even know how this happened.
I'm like are my eyes playingtricks on me?

Speaker 1 (29:46):
ew, and I remember you telling your father-in-law
this story and I'm like wait, isshe serious?

Speaker 2 (29:51):
are you fucking with us?
I was serious, I'm 100 sodescribe it in detail again.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
So he reaches his hands down his like the back of
this is just some random at apark, a man, an old, man.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
No, he was like 40, 30 maybe a couple years older
okay long brown hair like downto here.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Dressed kind of like you know, gothic style, like a
goth.
And he, he reaches hands downhis pants like scratched in his
crack.
He ran his fingers through hishair.
I thought he was done rightthere.
I'm like, okay, that's gross,but like you know, he's done.
He's done with this.
And I'm just always scanningbecause Because you have kids.

(30:32):
I have kids and I've been insituations where I've almost
been trafficked before and Iwill talk about that.
I will talk about that.
He runs his fingers through hishair, he sniffs his fingers.
Then he licked it like this.
This is a really fast lick andI just I'm like are my eyes

(30:56):
playing tricks on me?

Speaker 1 (30:58):
That makes me a little sick.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
I kind of felt sick too.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Well, I mean, I think to myself, I'm like I would
probably like be really loud andjust be like Because you were
outside, but you don't want todraw attention to yourself when
you're a mom alone with two kids.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
That's true, because you're helpless, then I mean I
have ways to keep myself safewhich I don't need to disclose,
that here.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Yeah, you know self-defense.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Well.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Cheers to keeping yourself safe.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
So when I was in Mississippi, Keeping yourself
safe.
So when I was in Mississippi,I'm 99% sure I was almost sex
trafficked.
So, wonder why you think sextraffic and not your baby.

(31:49):
Well, I would say both.
Oh, you know what I mean.
So I was at a gas station inMississippi and it was also a
truck stop and I saw a man likelooking at me when I was pumping
my gas.
He didn't know I was convoyingwith my husband, so we were
actually moving back home at thetime.
Convoy, yeah, like convoy, isthat what you would call it?

(32:11):
I've never Convoy.
Yeah, like convoy, Is that?

Speaker 1 (32:12):
what you call it.
I've never heard that yeah it'slike two cars.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
You go somewhere together Like two cars, yeah,
taking separate cars.
That was disgusting.
Say excuse me.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Excuse me.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Good little boy, okay Scoozy.
So anyways.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Miss Scoozy.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
This is serious.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
And I want boozy.
This is serious and I and Iwant to raise awareness.
You always have to have yourhead on a swivel and it's more
prominent in the south.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
This you know, trafficking and stuff.
I thought it was also common in, like the west probably.
I just know it's prominent inthe south from living.
Yeah, um, that would make sensethere's a lot of people that go
missing, you know.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
So, anyways, oh fuck yeah, it's sad and they're never
scary to think about, they'renever found um a lot of like,
even elizabeth smart, that story, oh my gosh two years missing.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
They thought she was dead probably yeah and they she
was technically trafficked, butyou almost got traffic um, I was
feeling up my car and this manwas like standing it was.
He was standing outside of thegas station and I kind of like
saw him.
I saw him staring at me, wemade direct eye contact and then

(33:23):
I pulled around and I like,parked in a parking spot because
my husband we had talked on thephone- like before we you know,
went to the gas station.
He said I'm gonna run in andlike grab a couple of things and
I'm like cool, so I'll justlike park here and wait for you.
So I parked there and waited.
This guy walks across theparking lot and he's standing
behind my car, so so like Iwouldn't be able to back up,
he's like just standing rightbehind.

(33:46):
No he has his back to me andhe's on the phone.
Oh fuck yeah.
So I think that what he wantedme to do was maybe like get out
and say excuse me, but insteadWas it dark?
It actually was not dark out.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
No, okay.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
It was like 6 am or something like that.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
It was early in the morning.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
It was not dark though.
So anyways, he's standing there, he won't move.
And then, finally, my husbandcomes out and he pulls his truck
next to me.
Because I called him.
I said I'm a little scared,like this is kind of weird.
And so he pulls his truck nextto me and the guy he did leave
as soon as he noticed we weretogether.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
He just walked across to the truck stop, that's
creepy.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
It was very creepy, and it's not the first thing
that's happened.
When I was a kid, I wasfollowed as well, and I had to
hide in a Hallmark store in theback room Like what?
That's another store.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
I was selling Girl Scout cookies.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
I was selling Girl Scout cookies.
That's scary, I know, I know.
So I'm just saying like I'mnever too cautious.
I'm never too cautious, that'swhy my head was on a swivel,
yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Oh yeah, and you know what, whenever I hear these
stories, I remember my friendPooja talking about certain
things that she's experiencedlike you, yeah, and I was always
like, oh, kind of like laughedit off.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Like you cannot laugh it off.
It's real.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
But she's like Franco Ryan, you don't know what it's
like to be a female.
You don't, and what you'redescribing is terrifying.
Yeah, it's a shame, I mean.
I think in some weird way, likemy dad would always say when I
was in New York, or even LA,he's like you keeping two eyes
in the back of your head, youkeeping your head on a swivel.

(35:29):
He's always super like, notnervous, but reminding me, and I
think there was that part of methat was like in the back of my
head.
I always remembered him, my dadsaying that, and so there was a
part of me that was like Iwouldn't walk around in new york
city with headphones on as muchbecause I would be like okay, I
just gotta be able to know yoursurroundings, you know yeah,

(35:51):
city life is stressful, it canbe yeah, I know you guys are
inspiring me to look in likejust getting some land, or maybe
even maybe going out to thesuburb you're gonna build a tiny
house with us, right?
yeah, you're gonna like be ableto put me on your land.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Maybe lease a little piece of it I think, so we have
three minutes, if we have somequestions I know, I mean, we
gotta check it right now.
People texted us, I believe, solet's see what we got oh yeah,
I'm excited to pull it up here.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
So my grandmother walked in on me and was asking
me if I was straight or gay.
She assumed that I was gay andwas confused why I was fingering
my girlfriend.
Unfortunately, my grandma was alittle disappointed because she

(36:41):
said I really was hoping thatyou would be my only gay
grandson.
And then it just goes like feelfree to call me at this number.
He hoped to hear you guys soonon the pod.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Okay, so they might want to come on the pod.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
That's so weird.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Okay, so they basically have lived a life
where the grandma thought he wasgay and he's possibly not, or
maybe bisexual.
It sounds like the grandma wasdisappointed that he wasn't gay,
that he wasn't gay well, I meanthat's pretty disturbing to
walk in on your grandsonfingering some girl like that's

(37:23):
pretty disturbing, yeah, and sohe's just like how do I discuss
this like with my grandma andlike convince her?

Speaker 1 (37:31):
I guess that he said he was just like that's really
uncomfortable to even have thediscussion.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
I mean, she already saw some things that she didn't
bargain to see.
I would just have thediscussions.
You know, see what she has tosay.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Well, and it sounds like if your grandma is like at
the house and you're doing thatkind of stuff, it sounds like
it's like a younger person,maybe like a Gen Zer, and
apparently like the newgeneration is like they're doing
mocktails.
They're fluid, everybody'sbisexual, you know.
I think if you were growing upin today's world, you definitely
would have like had a girl ortwo here and there anyways.
