Hi, Colleen, thanks for holding Hi, thanks for having me
on today.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well what's going on with you? So?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
I'm actually a longtime listener, first time caller, and seriously
I love.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
All of you.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I'm really excited to talk to you. Hopefully you know
you have some feedback for me. I went on a
first date last night with this guy that I really like,
and we just totally vibed. It was really great conversation,
just everything was flowing. He asked about my family, and
I told him about my nana a few months ago,
(00:37):
and honestly, I've been struggling with her passing, and he
was just he was really sweet, really understanding, and I
felt so comfortable that I took out her ashes, not
like a whole thing of her ashes, Like I carry
a small vial of her ashes in my purse and
I had showed him and he was kind of surprised,
(00:57):
but like not in a bad way. He just like
laughed a little and he was like, oh, nice to
meet you Nana, which I just I thought was really
sweet and it was funny, and we ended the night
with like a pretty solid makeout sash though I figured
it went wow. But then I got home, I told
my roommate, and she's like Colleen, what she thinks it's
(01:17):
like weird and creepy that I carry me in his
ashes around and even weirder that I like whipped them
out on a first date. So like I get it,
but like now I'm kind of like spiraling. So I'm like,
oh my god, Like was it that weird? Like do
you guys think it was too much? Like is he
just like never gonna call me again? Because it didn't
seem like a big deal, but like is it a
(01:37):
big deal?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Well? Are you seeing him again?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I mean I haven't heard from him yet, but I
would like suit.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
What happened, but you can't do it yet. Yeah, No,
she's got to get.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
The solid makeout is pretty much you're you're probably gonna
get at least a callback.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I don't think he bothered him.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I kind of feel like, you know, when you're on
a date and like you just feel the chemistry, you
feel the vibe of the date, things that things that
happen may seem weird people outside of the situation, but
in the situation, it felt right for you, and he didn't,
like he didn't freak out at the time, So I
feel like that wouldn't be a deal breaker for him.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Also, I thought maybe if you slept with him, then
he'd be like, yeah, I'm on the stay of this grocery,
bust out her mom or grandma's ashes, and then we
slept together. I'd be like, great, then i'll see her again.
But she busts up grandma's ashes and nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I'd be like, hmm, that said a little weird.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Also would have been something if he just thought it
was like, that's your sense of humor.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
And he takes the little vile ashes.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
And oh this is great, hey, Nana, that pours on
his food.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
And then and then you're like, what are you doing it?
And he's like, oh my god, that's real. These are
really your grandma's ashes. I thought it was a joke,
and that was this you had to say.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I thought it was like, you know Emily in salt O,
Mother of God, do you think you got a good
tell in there, Colleen? Because you said that when you
pulled them out, he said, oh, heyne.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
To meet you.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yes, I would have said something like oh okay, and
was a little stand offish. You wouldn't know what offendive.
But since he rolled with it. He didn't seem bothered
by it, and you got the makeout. I think you're fine.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
But if he was like, yeah, it's funny you did that.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
I have my wife's ashes in my pocket.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Oh my god. Honestly I've been like I did not
sleep last night. So thank you because I was like,
oh my gosh, I might have messed this up. So
I feel a lot better now.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You should say to your roommate, you're just jealous because
you don't have a date. You're just jealous, and started
to big fighting the roommate.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
I love him all right, Well, let us know if
he gets back to you.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Is it weird to.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Carry grandma's ashes in your purse with you? Is it
weird anyone?
Speaker 8 (03:45):
As you were to Ash was telling this story, I
was thinking about how like when my dog Busta died,
we all got necklaces with his ashes and we all
wore I'm like, I.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Don't take how could a worm anymore? Well, because I
don't know.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
I just I started to wear gold jewelry. You not
silver jewelry. Sorry, Busta, I still have it.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I just do you still have it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Dog?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Of course I have that dog, But you don't have
the ring in your championship ring.
Speaker 8 (04:08):
No, my grandma would not be happy if I lost
a busta. But I don't think that's weird to carry
it around.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
That's sentimental.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, first you had like like you had a first
day with that guy. He will never forget because I
thought that's never happened to him, but forever hopefully.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
T It's ounded like a great relationship. He calls you back. Yeah,

Squabble lot, squabble, squabble lot, squabble.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Lot, John Jay Rich. Hi, take Hi, Hi, you're on
the air. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I've got something that I kind of wild I need
your take on again.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Well, I'm a tattoo artist and you know, I've been
building up with a solid little following lately, and yesterday
this woman walks into the shop for one pm appointment,
and you know, I swear I recognized her at first,
but I couldn't place it, you know, so I checked
(05:17):
the name and then it hit me, you know, it's
my old friend's mom. Like we're talking middle school, like
middle school homie, his mother, and she's in her fifties
and she's clearly had work done, you know, like you
looks young, definitely giving like mid life crisis energy. Right,
(05:39):
and guess what she wants? What tattoo that starts on
her lower back and dips down onto the top of
her butt, So it's a tramp stamp tramp stamp legit,
she knew exactly.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
I actually saw somewhere that they're coming back, like more
people are getting them right now.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
I'm like, why why are we doing this?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
But it was weird, like.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
She knew exactly who I was, and apparently she got
my name from one of her friends who's also a client.
And you know, she was super chill about the whole thing.
And I don't have a problem doing it. But here's
the weird thing. Like her son, my old buddy, is
now a full time minister. Like we're talking preaching on
(06:26):
Sunday's Bible and the hand minister, and we recently, you know,
reconnected on Facebook and all that. So the whole thing
is just it's just very weird.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
What's the tattoo? She wants? Put a little cross there?
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Maybe maybe she's getting in for him.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
It's just something laying like some palm trees, kind of
like island motif type of thing.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Something tribal or like a butterfly or something.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
You reach out to your friend and be like, I
think you need to call your mom. See what's going
on in her life.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I think she is she okay.
Speaker 8 (07:09):
For connection right now.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
They're not going to not do it though, right.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I'll do it. You know, I got no problem with it.
It's just that it's kind of I feel a little
caught in the middle.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Well when she when you do a tattoo on a
tramp swamp, does she have to just take off the
back of her shirt, her shirt so she lays down,
or do you have to remove her Does she have
to remove her.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Pants and stuff?
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I mean you gotta like you got to kind of
pull it down a bit.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
But yeah, maybe see what you want.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Maybe you can be like, oh, you know, I'm gonna
need you to remove your bottom half of your clothes.
She's trying to flirt with them. Maybe she wants to.
She did look you up. I mean, maybe she's interested.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
That's just weird.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It was sexy. Oh yeah, what does she look like?
Is she attractive?
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Yeah, she's you can tell like she you know, like
I said, she has had work done, and yeah she's
doing her thing, but.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Work done, like what kind of work done?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Some nose stuff going on, maybe a little bit of
a facelift.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
I don't know. Yeah, she's a bad another.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
She looks like she was a Scottsdale. Yeah that's fine.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
I'd be like, yeah, that's what do you want. Let's
go drop drop the trow. That's how I work. I
need to rest my elbows.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
That is a weird situation though.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
You couldn't rust your like the logistic of rus elbows
on the.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Very awkward He's laying long ways and then you'd be
like elbow on the lower butt cheek right, and then.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You yeah, you do one elbow and then yeah, you
don't have.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
You got to pull the pants so you just have
to remove them and you can put a sheet over
like the bottom half of the legs and then you
got your elbow and the butt sheet. Well that is
it's weird, I guess, yeah, And I'm glad you called
us that to talk to us. A lot of tattoo
(09:08):
artists that listen to us that probably i'd love to
hear about any more situations like that, Like the tattoo
guy Prince that did Blake's tattoo. He's got so many
beautiful pictures of tattoos that he's done.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He's probably had the weirdest. He probably unfazes them.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
You're a rookie tattoo artist, rightcause I gotta believe people
have been doing tattoos.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
For a while've probably seen it all, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Yeah, because I've seen some crazy tattoos because I used
to be a tattoo artist.
