But I had.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It started last year and then it stopped, and then I
saw one the other day and I waslike it's happening again.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I saw at Food Lion the other day, because we were

I ran in to get a snack.
There was a butter sculpture ofa turkey In a box.
Yes, yeah, is that a thing Isaw?

Speaker 3 (01:54):
What the hell do you do with this?
I think it's kind of cute.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
You put it on your Thanksgiving table.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Okay, you never see it.
You had one, oh shit, walkerhad two, walker had two butter
turkey.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Like this year, are growing up this year, I think
they're cute.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Did you spread a biscuit with your turkey butter?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
No Walkers into the butter, turkey His favorite part
of Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
That's good to know, because I saw it in the box and
I thought what?
What's happening here?
I think it's cute, but to knowthat it's acceptable, yeah, I
think they're cute, they're fun.
Sign me up on a butter turkey.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You get to carve a turkey and then you get to carve
a turkey, okay.
No, this is something that isDIY, okay, and I just don't love
it.
So, basically you make, youlike melt butter, and then you
(02:51):
basically like pour a candle,you like put a wick in like a
muffin tin.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'm just picturing a wick going all the way through a
stick of butter and like thatbeing the candle.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
No no that's really funny, it's no?
You like melt butter, you put awick in like a tin, like a
muffin pan, and then you likepour the butter, and then you
wait for it to like re harden,and then you like light it on
your charcuterie board, whichthat's part B of this
(03:24):
conversation.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Wait, this is adding a whole other layer I was like
is this for scents?
No, it's for eating.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
And so then you're like dip, then you like light
the candle, which I'm notconvinced it works.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I'm so glad you're bringing this up, because this
will lead into a topic that I'vebeen wanting to talk to you
about for a long time.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
So, anyway, the idea, I guess, is that you light the
candle and then you're dippingbread in the butter candle, and
I have conflicting feelingsabout it.
Part of me is like this isreally smart, and other parts of
me this is leading to part Bwe're doing too much.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, the charcuterie board has gotten Leave the
butter on the counter.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
let it soften the charcuterie board.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Why does the charcuterie board need butter?
Well, is it like bread and jamand butter?
This is what's happening.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It was charcuterie.
And then it was charcuterie andlike breads and crackers, and
then oh, people startedspreading shit into little like.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Have you seen the things where they like spread
the butter board?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Okay, yes, the butter board is a thing which I'm like
.
We don't need that much butter,but now we're just like putting
everything on a frickingplatter.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Everything's on a platter now they have, like the
parties where you like, bring athemed board.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Which I say this all in vain, because I kind of love
it.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
If I showed up at one of those parties, I would eat
off every single thing on board.
I know I love a candy board.
I love a good spread.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I love a spread, but I just don't.
Are we doing?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
too much.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Can we reintroduce some cups?
I just don't know how I feelabout everything being on a
board.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I like cups on a board.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Like you know, to get some height, yeah, and some
chin.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, how do we feel about the salami rose?
I hate the salami rose.
I hate watching people make thesalami rose.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I've never it's never made me want to eat salami more
.
No, I've always looked at itand thought the same thing
should not be turned into aflower.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, flowers should only be sweet things, and I feel
passionately about that.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Okay.
I have looked at one andthought huh and that was my only
thought.
And then I recently someone waslike here's how you make it and
I was like have you seen howyou make it?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's disgusting.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
And then it was like easy, this wasn't an intense one
, did they drape it?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
over the edge of a cup.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I can't remember Because I hate it.
It just makes me feel so icky Idon't need to eat like a
pepperoni in the shape of aflower.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I know that's what I'm saying, but the thing is is
that?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
people are making them look all like super
extravagant.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And people are making careers out of it.
I know it's a whole thing.
I know which is great.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So the thing that I was going to go into is the like
the thing that thank God Idon't think it's happening
anymore, but the mashed potatobar inside of our teeny glasses,
girl.
That was like happening atevents.
I've been to a wedding.
Where we go through a buffetline.
You grab a martini glass, youput a ice cream scoop of mashed
potato.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I feel the same way about a martini glass as I do
about the rose.
You don't need to saveeverything out of a martini
glass.
Yeah, and it's I mean acocktail shore, but like if
we're eating food and it doesn'tneed to be dense, I don't want
to eat.
It needs to be liquid, I don'twant to eat out of martini glass
ever.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
No, it's just like.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Why not a bowl or or a cup, or a cup, or a stem or a.
We wouldn't eat mashed potatoesout of a wine glass.
Can you imagine?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, the thing, the pasta, wine
glass thing, that's onlineright now.
We're like the restaurants willbring the pasta.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
They dump them at the get out of the wine glass Dump
us thing spaghetti out of a wineglass, and it's a server did
that to me, I think, and I amnot the type that would complain
, but I think I would say Idon't want hey.
Can you get me a new plate?
Yeah, that hasn't been in awine glass for some reason.
I just feel like it makes ittake like I wouldn't.
(07:21):
It makes it grow somehow.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Did you find it?
I Don't know people.
Once again, people are doing alittle too much, and if it
brings you a heart happiness.
Keep doing it, but also.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Though that spaghetti in the wine glass was like too
much, but not enough at the sametime.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yes, exactly, and spaghetti doesn't need to be
more than what it is no, it'sgreat Just how it is if you were
spreading some spaghettinoodles around in a cheese wheel
?
I will take that all day longtake that all day long and night
, all 24 seven all the time, butI don't need it in a wine glass
.
I don't need elevated spaghetti.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I don't need elevated mashed potatoes no.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I don't.
I Went to a birthday party lastFebruary.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I still think about it.
They had a baked potato bar andit like Resparked a love for
big potatoes in me, yes.
I'm like this is how you do apotato.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I don't need them enough.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I know, after that party I was eating them.
Like every time I go to thestore I'd pick up a little
russet potato and I would bakeit and just one.
Maybe like three J and I woulddo them because J loves the
spuds at myth callisters.
Every time we go, he's likeshould I get a spud?
And I'm like, no, you alreadyordered a giant, a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Oh, with their spud are huge, huge.
I Forgot about me.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I'll start, we started making them at home,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I love a big potato with all the fixings.
But that's yeah, I just Ithought a potato just needs to
be potato.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't need glassware and the charcuterie
board.
I'll eat meat and cheese is allday too but I just and I love
making a charcuterie board, so Idon't know why I'm judging.
Well, yeah, people, I thinkthey're thin butter candle.
Put me over the edge.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
The butter candle just feels unnecessary, like how
long does that take you whereyou?
Could just put butter on theplate like yeah, butter is
delicious, but like you don'tneed to make a candle out of
right.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I think that's where it is.
I mean, I can't I can't let thebutter candle drag the
charcuterie boards down with it,because charcuterie boards on
their own are Lovely and I lovea spread with other things other
than charcuterie me too.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Just the butter.
I order one at restaurants allthe time.
Yeah, yeah it's the buttercandle it, is it just anyway.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That's that I need, that's what I needed to Process
and I'm really glad we did thatbecause I know, I know me too,
me too.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'm trying to think of other weird trends that I've
seen lately that I've been likeis this what we're doing?

because you genuinely love tohost people and you don't need

a show, for, yeah, I don't wantanyone to put on a show for me.
Speaker 2 (12:04):

snacks.
But if we're being honest,that's the best that's my
favorite.
Oh man, yeah, what were wetalking about?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Trends.
Oh you're on.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
the clean talk, yes and you show me a corner of
clean talk, yeah, where it justinvolves people having like way
too much shit.
Oh, yes, it's gone so far intocleaning that.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
it's like clutter, yes, oh, it's like.
I mean you sent me the one ofthe girls shower, yes, and she
had like 400 of those littletree hut body scrubs.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I'm like nobody scrubs their body that whole
Every shower wall had a shelfthat she had like put in.
She had every single scent oflike four different types of
shampoo conditioner.
Yeah she had like six loofahsit feels like she.
I'm pretty sure she had like aTV of some kind, I don't know,
like a cup holder.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It was very odd Is the corner.
Like I got on it because it waslike satisfying to watch people
like vacuum their floor.
Uh-huh and then, all of asudden, you're like having a
million different productspushed on you.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Oh, but this wasn't even pushing a product, it was
just like no, they're notactually.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh, but they're like just showing all of these
different things that they haveAmazon organizing things.
Yeah, and I want all of them,but then I like I don't know.
There's this one girl that Ifollow and I love her.
She's spunky and she's durable,but her closet is terrifying.
She uses like 40 products whenshe gets ready in the morning
and goes to Sephora like everythree days and I'm like nobody
(13:37):
needs this that much stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
It's consumerism.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yes, it's like yeah and I feel, I feel myself being
like oh, I need.
Yeah, this thing that goesinside of my car that organizes
all of the things in my car.
I'm like who am I kidding?
My kid is in the back seatthrowing cheezus on the ground.
Why am I trying to act fancywith a little organizing?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I didn't even fancy it's like, it's just like.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
John, it's just stuff .
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, just like throw stuff away.
I know it's very interesting.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Well, and I'm very almost to a fault, I like find a
lot of satisfaction infinishing something all the way
Mm-hmm.
So, I will like use a productand it's not even about money
necessarily Like I will just usea product until it's last drop
before I get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Really Kind of you don't like see with me, if it
goes too long and then it justsits there forever, then I feel
guilty throwing it away.
So just sits there.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Yeah, I mean, if I don't like the product, I'm not
going to do that, but, like withmy chapstick, there's so much
satisfaction to like squeezingthe very last bit out and being
like done onto my next chapstick, like I don't need a million
different chapstick at one time.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I can just like really commit to one and like
commit very hard.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, makes sense.
I lose mine before I finish itevery time.
Yeah, yeah, but yeah, anyway,clean talk.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I don't know how I got on that, but Some of it's
very helpful, but I will saythey make me feel like I need a
fancy vacuum.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Mm-hmm, Can you try to get a Dyson?
The other day and I was like Ijust don't.
I feel like now in my head theDyson is like the only vacuum
and I just like can't buy a newvacuum because I can't afford a
Dyson.
And then I'm like walkingthrough Target and like there's
like seven other brands withwith vacuums for like a yeah,
Like an eighth of the price.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, well, now there's like I mean now there's
like five different brands thatare all the same price as the
Dyson.
So you're like, which one am Isupposed to get?
There's like competing brands.
Now, like the Tynoco peoplelove the Tynoco.
People love the chart.
There's like a Bissell one.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
That's like a you know the mom, one mom has.
It is like factory grade orlike cleaning grade.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Literally looks like it came out of a 90s hotel.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I want that.
No, you know she.
You know she got it from theguy, the people who used to do
the cleaning at dad's job.
He had them order her onebecause she wanted what they
used to clean.
It's like an industrial gradevacuum.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
See, I don't want to switch a bag.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I want, but if it anyway I'm get what she's, I get
it.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I know it actually sucks.
Jay and I always have thisconversation because we have
only ever had like shittyvacuums and so I'm like I just
want a vacuum.
That sucks.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I know.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
And it's like I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
We always joke about it, because none of my vacuums
have ever been very sucky.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
My same it might just smells like dog.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Oh, I have a trick for that.
What is it?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
This can be the finale.
What's your trick?
It's the.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
It's the Arm and Hammer dog.
Oh the powder you sprinkle onyour rug.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Okay, and then you vacuum it.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
You let it sit for 30 minutes, 20 minutes, something
like that, and then you vacuumit up and then, like, the air
that comes out of your vacuumsmells like the pet odor stuff.
Okay, like it actually makes itsmell really good, cause I had
a vacuum that reeked of dog andthen, thanks to clean talk, I
found the like stuff that yousprinkle on your rug.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Okay.
And it makes your vacuum alsosmell good, I need that, cause

So, basically you make, youlike melt butter, and then you
(02:51):
basically like pour a candle,you like put a wick in like a
muffin tin.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'm just picturing a wick going all the way through a
stick of butter and like thatbeing the candle.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
No no that's really funny, it's no?
You like melt butter, you put awick in like a tin, like a
muffin pan, and then you likepour the butter, and then you
wait for it to like re harden,and then you like light it on
your charcuterie board, whichthat's part B of this
(03:24):
conversation.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Wait, this is adding a whole other layer I was like
is this for scents?
No, it's for eating.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
And so then you're like dip, then you like light
the candle, which I'm notconvinced it works.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I'm so glad you're bringing this up, because this
will lead into a topic that I'vebeen wanting to talk to you
about for a long time.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
So, anyway, the idea, I guess, is that you light the
candle and then you're dippingbread in the butter candle, and
I have conflicting feelingsabout it.
Part of me is like this isreally smart, and other parts of
me this is leading to part Bwe're doing too much.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, the charcuterie board has gotten Leave the
butter on the counter.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
let it soften the charcuterie board.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Why does the charcuterie board need butter?
Well, is it like bread and jamand butter?
This is what's happening.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It was charcuterie.
And then it was charcuterie andlike breads and crackers, and
then oh, people startedspreading shit into little like.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Have you seen the things where they like spread
the butter board?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Okay, yes, the butter board is a thing which I'm like
.
We don't need that much butter,but now we're just like putting
everything on a frickingplatter.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Everything's on a platter now they have, like the
parties where you like, bring athemed board.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Which I say this all in vain, because I kind of love
it.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
If I showed up at one of those parties, I would eat
off every single thing on board.
I know I love a candy board.
I love a good spread.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I love a spread, but I just don't.
Are we doing?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
too much.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Can we reintroduce some cups?
I just don't know how I feelabout everything being on a
board.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I like cups on a board.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Like you know, to get some height, yeah, and some
chin.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, how do we feel about the salami rose?
I hate the salami rose.
I hate watching people make thesalami rose.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I've never it's never made me want to eat salami more
.
No, I've always looked at itand thought the same thing
should not be turned into aflower.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, flowers should only be sweet things, and I feel
passionately about that.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Okay.
I have looked at one andthought huh and that was my only
thought.
And then I recently someone waslike here's how you make it and
I was like have you seen howyou make it?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's disgusting.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
And then it was like easy, this wasn't an intense one
, did they drape it?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
over the edge of a cup.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I can't remember Because I hate it.
It just makes me feel so icky Idon't need to eat like a
pepperoni in the shape of aflower.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I know that's what I'm saying, but the thing is is
that?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
people are making them look all like super
extravagant.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And people are making careers out of it.
I know it's a whole thing.
I know which is great.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So the thing that I was going to go into is the like
the thing that thank God Idon't think it's happening
anymore, but the mashed potatobar inside of our teeny glasses,
girl.
That was like happening atevents.
I've been to a wedding.
Where we go through a buffetline.
You grab a martini glass, youput a ice cream scoop of mashed
potato.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I feel the same way about a martini glass as I do
about the rose.
You don't need to saveeverything out of a martini
glass.
Yeah, and it's I mean acocktail shore, but like if
we're eating food and it doesn'tneed to be dense, I don't want
to eat.
It needs to be liquid, I don'twant to eat out of martini glass
ever.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
No, it's just like.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Why not a bowl or or a cup, or a cup, or a stem or a.
We wouldn't eat mashed potatoesout of a wine glass.
Can you imagine?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, the thing, the pasta, wine
glass thing, that's onlineright now.
We're like the restaurants willbring the pasta.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
They dump them at the get out of the wine glass Dump
us thing spaghetti out of a wineglass, and it's a server did
that to me, I think, and I amnot the type that would complain
, but I think I would say Idon't want hey.
Can you get me a new plate?
Yeah, that hasn't been in awine glass for some reason.
I just feel like it makes ittake like I wouldn't.
(07:21):
It makes it grow somehow.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Did you find it?
I Don't know people.
Once again, people are doing alittle too much, and if it
brings you a heart happiness.
Keep doing it, but also.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Though that spaghetti in the wine glass was like too
much, but not enough at the sametime.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yes, exactly, and spaghetti doesn't need to be
more than what it is no, it'sgreat Just how it is if you were
spreading some spaghettinoodles around in a cheese wheel
?
I will take that all day longtake that all day long and night
, all 24 seven all the time, butI don't need it in a wine glass
.
I don't need elevated spaghetti.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I don't need elevated mashed potatoes no.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I don't.
I Went to a birthday party lastFebruary.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I still think about it.
They had a baked potato bar andit like Resparked a love for
big potatoes in me, yes.
I'm like this is how you do apotato.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I don't need them enough.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I know, after that party I was eating them.
Like every time I go to thestore I'd pick up a little
russet potato and I would bakeit and just one.
Maybe like three J and I woulddo them because J loves the
spuds at myth callisters.
Every time we go, he's likeshould I get a spud?
And I'm like, no, you alreadyordered a giant, a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Oh, with their spud are huge, huge.
I Forgot about me.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I'll start, we started making them at home,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I love a big potato with all the fixings.
But that's yeah, I just Ithought a potato just needs to
be potato.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't need glassware and the charcuterie
board.
I'll eat meat and cheese is allday too but I just and I love
making a charcuterie board, so Idon't know why I'm judging.
Well, yeah, people, I thinkthey're thin butter candle.
Put me over the edge.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
The butter candle just feels unnecessary, like how
long does that take you whereyou?
Could just put butter on theplate like yeah, butter is
delicious, but like you don'tneed to make a candle out of
right.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I think that's where it is.
I mean, I can't I can't let thebutter candle drag the
charcuterie boards down with it,because charcuterie boards on
their own are Lovely and I lovea spread with other things other
than charcuterie me too.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Just the butter.
I order one at restaurants allthe time.
Yeah, yeah it's the buttercandle it, is it just anyway.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That's that I need, that's what I needed to Process
and I'm really glad we did thatbecause I know, I know me too,
me too.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'm trying to think of other weird trends that I've
seen lately that I've been likeis this what we're doing?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Mm-hmm, what else?
There's one girl I follow onInstagram that, like I, I feel
this, I like can't Stand it, butI can't get enough.
Like she just does everyholiday.
There's like so Many ideas ofway to serves, serve food.
Oh, that's cool, it's, it is.
But at the same time, every oneof the ideas is like this is
(10:13):
too much.
I have to buy, go to HobbyLobby and buy these very
specific content cold cauldroncontainers For this one time I'm
gonna serve this one thing.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Let's be honest, I I love stuff like that.

I'll be like oh my gosh, thisis so cute.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Oh yeah, you're into clean, You've been.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I am into clean talk.
I watch like organizing,cleaning videos.
But it's only but you've beento my Halloween party, not a
hostess.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'm.
You are in your heart.
Like that sounded condescending, but I mean it.
You, you have the mostaccommodating home and it's
because you genuinely love tohost people and you don't need
all the extra stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I don't want to like, serve, like in a way that feels
Extra, I guess.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
No, I'm just like come hang out and that's the
best.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
It's lovely, you're thirsty, I just assumed you
would get yourself a water.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's the kind of party I want to go to.
Yeah, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
But so I save all these videos of the cold.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh, that you're gonna like who am I kidding?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I'm gonna have a bag of stale popcorn and a pre-mixed
drink with some a bottle oftequila, and I'm just gonna put
shots on people and peoplebarely even drink the cocktail.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Oh really.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I feel like I like that cocktail all night.
Oh, you did.
Okay, it was great.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
It was great, I will.
You told everyone that, butthere is no shame, I know that's
the thing is like.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I can't lie I'm.
I'm not the type to pretend I'mdoing more than I am either.
I'm very like.
This is who I am.
This is I don't know.
I find it.
I Watch you don't want to belike how to like host people and
the proper way to host people,and I was just like I don't want
to go to their house.
(11:56):
Oh, I'm about everything ohInteresting and like putting on
a show, for, yeah, I don't wantanyone to put on a show for me.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I just want them to put on TV and give me some
snacks.
But if we're being honest,that's the best that's my
favorite.
Oh man, yeah, what were wetalking about?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Trends.
Oh you're on.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
the clean talk, yes and you show me a corner of
clean talk, yeah, where it justinvolves people having like way
too much shit.
Oh, yes, it's gone so far intocleaning that.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
it's like clutter, yes, oh, it's like.
I mean you sent me the one ofthe girls shower, yes, and she
had like 400 of those littletree hut body scrubs.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I'm like nobody scrubs their body that whole
Every shower wall had a shelfthat she had like put in.
She had every single scent oflike four different types of
shampoo conditioner.
Yeah she had like six loofahsit feels like she.
I'm pretty sure she had like aTV of some kind, I don't know,
like a cup holder.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It was very odd Is the corner.
Like I got on it because it waslike satisfying to watch people
like vacuum their floor.
Uh-huh and then, all of asudden, you're like having a
million different productspushed on you.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Oh, but this wasn't even pushing a product, it was
just like no, they're notactually.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh, but they're like just showing all of these
different things that they haveAmazon organizing things.
Yeah, and I want all of them,but then I like I don't know.
There's this one girl that Ifollow and I love her.
She's spunky and she's durable,but her closet is terrifying.
She uses like 40 products whenshe gets ready in the morning
and goes to Sephora like everythree days and I'm like nobody
(13:37):
needs this that much stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
It's consumerism.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yes, it's like yeah and I feel, I feel myself being
like oh, I need.
Yeah, this thing that goesinside of my car that organizes
all of the things in my car.
I'm like who am I kidding?
My kid is in the back seatthrowing cheezus on the ground.
Why am I trying to act fancywith a little organizing?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I didn't even fancy it's like, it's just like.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
John, it's just stuff .
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, just like throw stuff away.
I know it's very interesting.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Well, and I'm very almost to a fault, I like find a
lot of satisfaction infinishing something all the way
Mm-hmm.
So, I will like use a productand it's not even about money
necessarily Like I will just usea product until it's last drop
before I get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Really Kind of you don't like see with me, if it
goes too long and then it justsits there forever, then I feel
guilty throwing it away.
So just sits there.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Yeah, I mean, if I don't like the product, I'm not
going to do that, but, like withmy chapstick, there's so much
satisfaction to like squeezingthe very last bit out and being
like done onto my next chapstick, like I don't need a million
different chapstick at one time.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I can just like really commit to one and like
commit very hard.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, makes sense.
I lose mine before I finish itevery time.
Yeah, yeah, but yeah, anyway,clean talk.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I don't know how I got on that, but Some of it's
very helpful, but I will saythey make me feel like I need a
fancy vacuum.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Mm-hmm, Can you try to get a Dyson?
The other day and I was like Ijust don't.
I feel like now in my head theDyson is like the only vacuum
and I just like can't buy a newvacuum because I can't afford a
Dyson.
And then I'm like walkingthrough Target and like there's
like seven other brands withwith vacuums for like a yeah,
Like an eighth of the price.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, well, now there's like I mean now there's
like five different brands thatare all the same price as the
Dyson.
So you're like, which one am Isupposed to get?
There's like competing brands.
Now, like the Tynoco peoplelove the Tynoco.
People love the chart.
There's like a Bissell one.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
That's like a you know the mom, one mom has.
It is like factory grade orlike cleaning grade.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Literally looks like it came out of a 90s hotel.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I want that.
No, you know she.
You know she got it from theguy, the people who used to do
the cleaning at dad's job.
He had them order her onebecause she wanted what they
used to clean.
It's like an industrial gradevacuum.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
See, I don't want to switch a bag.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I want, but if it anyway I'm get what she's, I get
it.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I know it actually sucks.
Jay and I always have thisconversation because we have
only ever had like shittyvacuums and so I'm like I just
want a vacuum.
That sucks.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I know.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
And it's like I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
We always joke about it, because none of my vacuums
have ever been very sucky.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
My same it might just smells like dog.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Oh, I have a trick for that.
What is it?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
This can be the finale.
What's your trick?
It's the.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
It's the Arm and Hammer dog.
Oh the powder you sprinkle onyour rug.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Okay, and then you vacuum it.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
You let it sit for 30 minutes, 20 minutes, something
like that, and then you vacuumit up and then, like, the air
that comes out of your vacuumsmells like the pet odor stuff.
Okay, like it actually makes itsmell really good, cause I had
a vacuum that reeked of dog andthen, thanks to clean talk, I
found the like stuff that yousprinkle on your rug.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Okay.
And it makes your vacuum alsosmell good, I need that, cause
my vacuum is gross, all right.
Well, you never know what we'regoing to get into.
