Couple Stan think Colomba. It's a little bal podcast joke.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Kid, But did.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
You hear about like the youngest person being a lawyer today.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Like a seventeen year old girl.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
With China or some ship.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
You're quick.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, her brother's the second youngest to become a fucking lawyer.
And I'm like, I would not want a seventeen year old.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Defending my case. No, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
If you know the law, you know the law I know.
But like, it's very, very very hard to pass the
bar exam, so if she was able to pass it
and be appointed a lawyer, then she'd probably knows what
she's doing.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You can.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Take them.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
She failed, but most people fail three times, so we'll
see if you can do it and keep it right up.
She'll be just not average for everybody. But if she
fails like ten times, and it'll be really funny. But
it ain't funny yet.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
The club can't handle me right now?
Speaker 4 (01:53):

eye zone now to the club. Panny even handle.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
God, did you all see me on the the video

weeks ago doing the Sam Smith trend pulling out the
big notes because.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
You're oh, lad need.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
But Arlie stay with me. Yeah, So anyway, Leonora is
here talk about when a room goes black. I forgot
what my metaphor was for my blackness in the room.
I was gonna say something mean, and I forgot what
(02:50):
my parents I was. I was trying to. I was
like vacuum abyss. You're like when the when you open
the dryer and you have to like clean out the
lint trap before you.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Excuse me, are you saying ashy? You're saying I'm dusty.
You're saying I'm some dusty, krusty dryer limbits.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
We're both crusty and dusty and ashy. When we run
out of our Jorgans, it's jargins. Sorry, I'm just saying
we're out of We're out of a lot of stuff.
I need to go to the grocery Store's why I
was leading to. Yeah, but I said Jorgans.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think instead of character's name or a brand of underwear,
it's one of the two.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Now all I can think about is Jorgan Fund strangle
from fairly exactly?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Do you do Arnold Schwartz and anger boys, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
You are pro good doub rules.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
No, I can't. I can't beat that. My dad.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
The chopper, I was the governor of California.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Well it hurts, Oh, it hurts so bad.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
So this year, the the newest buzz around this time
of year is not the red cup at Starbucks, but
the glass bear cup, the berrystick cup.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Okay, so so I had no idea about this whole
like glass bear craze, but I did see two of
my students had the same cup and they looked like
if you took like a honey jar, like a bear
honey jar, and just put like a straw in it.
And I'm like, is this it? That's what I thought
(04:49):
it was. And I'm like, is that just the newes?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Well, no, it's forever. It's like adults are.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
No, I didn't know there was like an adult version.
I thought it. I was like, why is everyone wanting
to get these little stupid cups?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Like, so are you telling me that people all over
the country weren't able to get their hands on one?
But some parents were able to get ones and they're
just giving them to their kids.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, no, no, no, I didn't know the Starbucks made
it a big thing. I thought it was just like
it just became popular, like how like hydro flasks and
Stanley's and just I thought it was that. But I've
been so broke I haven't been able to go Starbucks.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
So they sold out the first day?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh yeah, how big is it? Is it like this
eventye size? Or is it like the size of like
a honeybeer?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Wait, so your kids do have one or don't have one?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well? I thought it was yes, they do, but it's
not the Starbucks one. It just looks like a honeybear
with a straw I put in like the top.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I feel like that's the parents coping with not being
able to get one, because a lot of people just
they say fuck it and they go. They get the honeybear,
empty out the honey and just stick a straw, and
they're like living through their kids. So they're like, here
you go.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, but it's like she can't. They're squishy too, like he's.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Gonna go cry in her car. Well, the real ones
are glass, yeah, and they're cool. I want one but
not enough to stand in line overnight.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I feel like you could find something cooler at the
thirst store if like, are you guys really gonna drink
out of it? Are you gonna put? Like?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Well, yeah, the real one's big. I don't know if
it's VENTI big, but like it looks it looks good.
At first I thought it looked cheesy, but then I
saw one on TikTok, like actually like someone holding in
and I'm like, oh, okay, this is practical.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I then guy saw the green one, and I'm like, but.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
So, here's the thing. Kyle went to six different Starbucks
in the East Valley looking for one the day they
came out early before the show started, and then she
wasn't able to find one. Jogi tried. I think if
there's if they're only selling out because they're a trend,
then you gotta go somewhere where trends don't happen. My
first thought was Sun City.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
That's so true.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I don't think the old people know what the hell
that cup is.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
So like, it's just a novelty.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
You want a hard candy, you want a butterscotch dish.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You want my smoker's ash tray. I put my mama's
ashes in it.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I'm just ashy. Is you cash?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
She dad seventy years ago? There's some old ash ash.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
So what I'm thinking is this week. I know it's
been like a week or two since these have dropped,
and they're probably still that nationwide, but I still feel
like there's a possibility, a slim chance, a slim picking,
if you will, Sabrina Carpenter, that there is a couple
of these floating around in sun City because.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Someone goes to Yuma.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
You want to drive to Yuma.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
No, I'm not getting in the cup, but I.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Think I could walk into like Bashes or something that's true,
and maybe they'll have it at the Starbucks in side
there because the hell goes in there. Yeah, yeah, Arizona thing.
If you know, you know I love Bashes too. They're
closing all over the place. The one by us is
like the only one I know of that's left. I
know there's a couple more, but isn't that sad?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah? I love Safeway and Albertson's.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
So if you just something surpasses them, well, it surpasses who.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Fries, Like, I know, Fries is like the big one now,
but they've become like too corporate. You know how we've
said we we don't like the big ones. I miss
the vibe of like regular grocery stores where you just
go in to get food.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
It's too much. You go to an old fries it's
so great, such a vibe any any old groger, but
you go into it. You go into these new ones
they build with the solar panel park.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
God, I know what is this if they're stressful to
be in. It's like disney Land, but for I don't know,
vegetable nightmares. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Well, I remember when that one, the one by our
high school, opened up when we were in high school,
and it was brand new. It was the biggest one
in the state at the time. And I walked in
and I was trying to figure ou where everything was at,
and I was looking for I was looking for honey coincidentally,
and I turned to this lady and I was like, Hey,
can can you appoint me to where which the honey
is in? Like is it over here? And she was like, sir,
(09:25):
you're in Murray's Cheese Shop. And I was like, what
it's like, this is Murray's Cheese Shop. It's a part
of the store where we just sell cheese. And I
was like, well, am I not in fries And she's like,
you're in fries, but this is Murray's Chee Shop. I
can only help you with Murray'scheese Shop related things. And
I was like, so, do you work for the store though,
(09:46):
She's like yes, but that was not her department. So
I literally had to like get out of the cheese
area before I could ask somebody for help. And I
was like, this store's doing too much.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
That kind of happened with me at Walmart the other day,
but it was so much more simpler than that. Like
I was walking down the aisle those girls putting books
on the shelf and I'm like, excuse me, do you
work here? She's like yeah, but I'm just a vendor.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
So now, when did you go to Walmart?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
What was I kidding? Oh? It was when I was
getting the pieces for my Megan costume.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Oh okay. I was like, did I go to Walmart?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Not?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
No? Yeah, I know, like, yeah, it was so stressful
for no reason.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Oh my gosh, but even the Walmarts are changing, Like
it's keep moving. They keep moving stuff around for no reason.
I don't know why. I stopped myself. I could have said, ship, yeah,
I know, this is my radio. There was one time
I was on the radio telling a story live and
I was like.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Show show another my babysitter and like never Rich had.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
His hand over the cuss button like ready to hit it,
and like I, I caught myself And so I saved
myself just some time. And Johnny was like, you almost
did it.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I was like, my my babysitter, if she like stubbed
her toe or something happened, she goes shit talky mushrooms.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
But yeah, I was in Walmart where they usually have
like the shampoo and all that like personal care stuff,
which has been the same at the WAM where I
go to since I was like seven.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
No, no, it's in the middle.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Now body watchers in the same spot, but shampoo's all
the way over there in the middle. And I had
a hell of a time last night I was in there.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Well, were you looking at women's or men's shampoo?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
It doesn't matter. They all moved them all and it
was women's.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Like the smell I watered my down dove.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
It's dove. It makes my hair soft. But no, seriously,
like I I'm looking at all the soaps. I'm looking
at all the deodorants, and I go to the next
dile and its makeup, and I go to the next
dial and it's like Christmas stuff, and I'm like, what
is going on? So I literally asked themone and they're like, oh,
that's in the middle now, and I was like what.
So it's like if you're there to buy shampoo and
body wash, like I feel like different parts of your
(12:11):
trip there.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Target try to do it first with the Ulta thing,
but that's a whole different store. Like Ulta employees, like
I think sometimes go there to like cover shifts and stuff.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I don't say that's weird. That's weird because it's like
when it's like when they have the Starbucks inside the
grocery stores and it's just like a grocery store, or
like when you check out and instead of the.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Starbucks, Cole's always had Sephora.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Well they're like they've like merged now. I think Coles
owned Sephora because they put Seor's logo on the front door.
I'm not sure how that works.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
But probably because like I don't know, I feel like
Sephora was like really going down the gutter after makeup
YouTube makeup community, you know, literally like exploded, and we
all know when that happened, the whole like James Charles,
Jane Dawson, TA to you Westbrook. I felt like everything
(13:04):
just lancelid and like something something happened with makeup and
I'm like really sad about it, and now it's only like.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
A lot of trauma there. Yeah, and then on top
of it, we lost Jena Marbles all in.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Oh no, this twenty twenty man speaking.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Twenty, this whole decade's been something else.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, But I mean the twenty twenties, I mean, I
mean the twenties one hundred years ago was also insane.
So I feel like history is just repeating itself.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Well, in the nineteen twenties, they didn't have her Shee's
kisses Cherry Cordial.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Just the whole reason I brought up Walmart because I saw, oh.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
What's her name on I think it's like Susie Susie Cue. Anyway,
I had to like dig for those cherry cordials. Like
we were in the like holiday we were in the
holiday section of like the candy and all the stuff
(14:10):
at Fries. Was it fries. Yeah, and so it's like, okay,
here's like hot cocoa and the mint one. I'm like
where the cherry cordials got to be somewhere? I had
to like open not open boxes, but like go underneath
some of the display boxes, and there was one sitting
on just one and I'm like, got it. Someone was
(14:32):
hiding this, like I don't know if like an employee
was and they were waiting to buy it after their shift.
So I'm sorry if that was you, but I found
it first.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
So Susie the FOODI s o o Z not s
u Z that you won't be able to find it
unless you know it's s O o Z s o Z.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
I E the foody.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It's like tooky, but with the Z.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yeah. She goes to all the different grocery stores and
she points out whatever the new products are, the seasonal
products are. Like almost daily she posts like seventy five pictures,
Like she'll have a Facebook post or Twitter post with
seventy five pictures of every new thing she's found. She
is single handingly keeping the junk food nerds like up
(15:20):
to date, right, and so I get her posts very
often of oh look they have a vanilla in mint tombs.
Thank you, see.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Foodie interesting, it's for the holidays. So she did a
Walmart post with all the new stuff at Walmart for
the holidays, and that is when she posted the Kisses
Cherry Cordial and so we found the singular bag of
fries when we're so happy because I was going to
start tracking these down. Literally her she's kisses with cherry
(15:50):
goop in the middle.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I think there's like a skin something in the middle too. Skin, yeah,
because it's supposed to be kind of like a cherry
because when I was when I was eating them.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Last night in bed, I freaking knew it.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Like so I kind of like pinch off the top
because that's just like chocolate, right, and like you can
almost like suck suck it out, or you could like
wait till it melts and just breaks down. But there is,
like I think there's something else in there. I don't know.
It could just be like I don't know, if it's
like a film between the goop and the chocolate. I
(16:31):
don't know. But they're so good. They're not as good
as like skin.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
That's a new one. Yeah, watch one episode of ed
Gene and suddenly an expert on skin.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Oh that's supposed to be the highlight. I'm like, what's
that in the picture. Maybe you need to try one right.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Now, okay, and go get one. I would tell you
to go get one, but you probably only have like
two left.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
That is not true. I only had two last night.
Speaking of Facebook, I thought this was hilarious. But this
is just me and my family kind of thing. But
my sister got engaged yesterday and we're also happy for her.
And my dad was like the first one to ask
(17:15):
her and like he's like, oh my god, can we
like tell the world, And so she makes a post,
But the first post he makes today is happy two
hundred and fiftieth birthday Marines. Yeah, and I'm like, you're
gonna like I get that. I get that. They're a
big part of your life, like huge, huge part of
(17:38):
your life. But your daughter your your first daughter, just
not your first daughter. I'm his first daughter. But the
first daughter who got engaged just got engaged.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
So do you think that would be prioritized that I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
He posts a.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Lot okay into the I'm biting down the middle, which
I know is very inconvenient, or I can.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Try to just link. Okay, there's like a thicker layer
of chocolate on the bottom, but you froze yours, yeah, mine.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Or worm so it looks like yeah, and it's pink
one frozen red when not, that's interesting. We have the cherry.
It's like a thick milky well no, not milky, because
then it would be kind of liquidy. It's it's like
a gel even when it was warm.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Doesn't think the skin I'm thinking of is just an
extra slab of chocolate on the bottom.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Those are pretty good.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
And then we also went to Fries to get the
holiday cream vanilla Coca Cola. I love how vanilla is
just becoming like a holiday scent. I've loved vanilla anything.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Well, what I really want to find, They don't make
no chocolate company has made this that I can find
since I was a kid. But in the fifth grade,
Hershey's came out with I forgot exactly what they are called,
not drops, because they still sell drops, but it was
like the same time that drops came out, and it
(19:26):
was like Hershey's chocolate filled cream filled chocolate like variety bag.
There were three flavors. One was like caramel something, one
was fudge, the third one was vanilla, and it had
a liquid vanilla center.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I think I remember that those were so good.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I bought them every every week for like a year,
and then they discontinued them. And to this day, you
can find cherry filled chocolate, you can find orange filled chocolate,
you can find in between, but you can't find just
like a liquid vanilla core. It doesn't exist. I've tried.
You can do truffles that have like a vanilla center,
but they're like vanilla. It's like white chocolate.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
I feel like the closest you're gonna find is the
the kisses Hot Cocoa one. It's I think it's supposed
to be marshmallow, but I'm not.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Hershey's Simple Pleasures, That's what it was. Hershey's Simple Pleasures.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Oh the York looking things.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Looks like York peppermint patties.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
They were available in twenty twelve. They had a Simple
Pleasures in the middle.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
They were so good.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
I literally cried.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I cried dead when those got discontinued because that was
the best chocolate.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
People just probably thought you liked York peppermint patties and
they got you that, and I'm like, I don't want
this though. Give them to my mom.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Give them a winter fret.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
She likes pit. It's cold, like her soul wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Let's see if AI can tell us why they've been
discontin I'm not trying.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
To bringing a clinker into this.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Get out of here. Yeah, Clanker Simple Pleasures line was
launched in June twenty twelve. June twenty twelve, okay, yeah,
actually that sounds all right. I'm gonna say it was
in the fifth grade the second half of that year.
Okaym No, AI was not helpful. AI literally says well.
(21:25):
Some online groceries or third party sellers may occasionally list
the product as in stock. It is no longer actively
produced by the Heirsty company. Yes, it's no longer produced,
but it's never in stock. It hasn't been in stock
since twenty thirteen. That's just AI trying to like make
shit up. I hate when it does that.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah, and the ones they probably do have now ur
probably expired.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Wouldn't that be funny if they was on eBay?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
We needed to do like those Google deep dives like
Jenna dim her channel. That was so funny.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Remember when market plier used to do that Google game.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Like the dinosaur one, or you'd just like jump over
the thing when you had a WIFEI.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
No Google feud. These were so funny. If you are
a market plier fan, go Flan. If you're a market
plyer fan, go watch his Google feud videos from like
twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
He got married this year, ah, or it was either
this year or last year, but like it was recently. Oh,
just everyone's getting engaged.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Everybody's getting engaged. It's the time of year. Love is love.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I have I have a funny story too. Yes, So
when my parents kind of knew when my sister's fiance
was going to ask them for their blessing, my mom
called me beforehand and she was like hi, And this
(22:49):
was right after I broke up with like this with
a boyfriend I was like with for like.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
A month with Steven Stephen.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
We might have mentioned him and might have yeah and
second date update did not happen. Well, we did go
on a second date, but it kind of had the
same outcome as the first one anyway. So this was like, yeah,
like right after I broke up with him, and she
(23:18):
she calls me and she's like, hey, so I have
your great grandmother's ring, you know, the great grandmother you're
named after. And I just want to know if it's
okay if I give this to Andrew, my sister's fiance,
(23:39):
you know, for him to like propose to her with it.
She's like, it's yellow gold, and you don't usually wear yellow,
So like that's girl logic right there. And I was like,
I mean, I'm not gonna use it anytime soon, obviously,
so and Amelia is way more into like the family
traditions and stuff like that. Like I know at her wedding,
(24:02):
she's gonna do like something new, something new, something oh
something blue redfish too fish, bluefish and so. Yeah, but
he didn't. He didn't propose to her with that ring.
And I was kind of salty about that. But they
already looked up fucking wedding venues. I'm sorry, Like she
(24:22):
knew it was coming. I'm sorry she.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Was playing the wedding before it even happened. I know
does that.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I love my sister to death, but she can overplan
things sometimes and she wants me to be the like
made of honor.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
She basically gave Andrew like a time frame on the
calendar to that she would be okay with him proposing.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
A time frame, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Based on when she wants to get married, Like she's
gonna be a total bridezilla.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
You're so right.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
The next year we're about walking on eggshells around that girl.
I know what is this? And I'll be like, oh
that was that was the white tablecloth you asked for.
This is cream, This its eggshell.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I'm sorry, don't And she said, She's like, I'm gonna
have everything DIY homemade. Like I'm like, sure, we'll see.
Really yeah, I think she.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
To save costs. Yeah, see, I don't want that. I
want my wedding. I don't want to force my wedding
to be done at a certain time because I want
to be able to afford.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
The day I want our wedding.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
We all have high expectations. Amelia clearly has your joking.
What would you say, I.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Said, our wedding, our lavender wedding.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Lavender wedding. I just I don't think like cutting costs
or like getting a sponsor, or, like trying.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
To a sponsor do that, or rich.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
I'm sure they all have, but I'm saying like I
wouldn't want to do I wouldn't want to like I
want to find the best possible people to hire, not
because we're working together or not because there's an opportunity there.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Like like you just want yours to be like a smooth,
easy piece as like, don't give me a fixer upper wedding.
I don't want to do it myself.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Ye plans and I don't want a backyard wedding mm hmm.
And I feel like Amelia might be like, oh, I
can't afford that venue. So we're gonna do Like.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
We're gonna do home cooked food.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Everyone everybody has to bring a side dish. I'm like,
that's your wedding day. Like if there's a sign up
sheet and we have to bring freaking macaroni salad to
the wedding, like it's crazy. I mean, and I'll don't work,
don't like I'll be there either way, like to support,
Like I'm not gonna judge your wedding.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
We're bashing on all weddings, Amelia.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
But like it's just interesting. It's interesting watching two nineteen
year olds like plan this out and the way that
they from the rose colored lenses that they see their
life because they haven't hit the same hardscapes that we've
hit in our twenties. We're becoming a little more realistic
(27:20):
adults as we continue h our frontal lobes are developing.
Theirs is not I love them to death. There's just
gonna be a little bit of a learning curve. So
either I just have to keep my mouth shut, and
I think that's yeah. But because she's so stubborn, she's
going to be set on what she wants and I'm
(27:41):
sure it'll be a great day. And nonetheless, like it's
not me bashing on her, but it is. It is
funny to watch in the background until it's my own.
When it's my wedding, stay away from me. I'll be Bridezilla,
be Groomzilla.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
So I did talk to my sister yesterday and I
was like, I noticed you didn't use Grandma Ellie's ring,
and that's what we always call her, great Grandma Eleanor.
And when my mom told me, she told me that
when she was thinking of like a name for me,
she was either going to go with Aurora or Lenora,
(28:16):
and my great grandma Eleanor this is her grandmother, said
oh yeah, that was actually my name back in Romania
was Leonora. But when I came here, they said it
was too complicated, so they switched some letters around.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
That's terrible.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
So yeah, and my mom, she had never the name before.
I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
She was well.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I mean there was a big baby book of names.
I was always passed around my family, like it's like
a dictionary, but with baby names, and like then they
and then they just picked the most basic names, like anyway,
it was either between Aurora or or Lenora. And usually
(29:03):
my my version and my name is spelled l e
A n O r a. But she was like just
l E n O r a, which still confuses people.
People still say are wrong. It's literally it's not that
hard to say. It's link spelled out for you. But
I've been called Loretta Rexa, Leonora keen Wa. No, that
(29:26):
was no lean Wa lean Wa from your Alexa. No,
I don't want to turn her own. She's always listening Alexa.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
My name was going to be nick Ethan. What else
was there? I think like Tyler Kyler. No, it was
my dad. I think that like to Tyler and my
almost like Tyler and every Tyler I went to school with,
woud up being like evil. So glad that didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I know, like Tyler Woods Wait Tiger would.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
But if I was a girl, I was supposed to
be Zoe or was that Zach was Zach Spo? My
brother was my brother supposed to be Zolle.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
It would be so cute. I could see you as
a Zoe.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
I think it was supposed to be Zoe. It would
be so mad if I got that wrong.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
If I was a boy, if me or Chrissy were boys,
then we would have been named Kellen.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
No, yeah, And I thought it was so lame until
I started listening to emo music and the singer of
Sleeping with Sirens.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Is name Kellen Quinn And that's a boy name.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Yeah, but he sounds like a woman.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
That's interesting because we.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Have it sounds like Helen but with a k.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
We have like a radio research person that like comes
by once a year to the radio station. They do
like a bunch of surveys and research and stuff. And
the guy travels like with an assistant or like with
a senior director. I don't know. I'm not sure what
her job is. But her name is Kellen Oh, and
it's a girl, and I think it sounds good for her.
(31:12):
But if that's a boy name, now I'm even more
thrown off. Yeah, but shout out to you, Kellen, see
you next year. For our annual meeting. She shows up
to the station, she opens up her laptop, starts pulling
up all of her information or whatever, and she always
has her calendar open and so I can just read
her whole month. So I'm always just like I always
get a little glimpse into the life of Kellen'll be
(31:33):
like she'll have like it'll say like today meet with
John Jay and Rich and then it'll be like Thursday,
Orthodontis appointments for Adeline at one pm.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
And I'm like, oh, you're busy on Thursday, Han Kellen
taking a day off work. Huh, gotta leave early. And
she like flies all over the country to do all
these meetings with all the different shows. So it's like,
I'm like, how do you keep track of like when
you're her home's like in Ohio or something, I'm.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Like, how do you keep track of all this calendar?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Literally local calendar?
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah, But for a Milia, my parents were trying to
have a boy with her, and she was like a
tomboy for like the longest time. And then senior year
came and like she got a boyfriend and chadwife, no offense,
Samelia love you to death. But she still has her
(32:28):
personality quirks though. She has this whole like military sergeant
side to her, like the whole thing. She has a
whole backstory. If you thought I had a backstory, my
younger sister has a big one. Where was I going?
Speaker 4 (32:46):
But yeah, you would have never guessed, like five years
ago that she would own more dresses than Yeah, I know,
and they're all so beautiful sun dresses. And I'm like, Amelia, like,
I've known your sister Leonora's since high school and you
were like tomboy, tomboy, what changed?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
No? Literally, She's like, I think I just feel more
free and happy.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Well that's good.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
My dad is named Joel, my favorite character in the
Last of Us I know, right, So they were gonna
go with Joel Junior, you call him jj Oh. So
glad they ended up having a girl. But Emelia, I'm like,
oh my god, I hear that name everywhere, but it's
(33:34):
like all different versions and spellings of it. But the
funniest part I felt was when I saw Megan two
and the artificial military intelligent something robot was like an
acronym for Amilia spent spelt the same way.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
Oh yeah, it was like artificial military engagement. Yeah, got
engagement something something a device or something like that. Yeah,
Joeld I don't know. Yeah, John Jacob Joel Junior Schmidt.
(34:16):
My name was your name too. That's what I would
have That's why I would have bullied your brother in
elementary school.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
What if I had two brothers?
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Bully anybody in elementary school.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Actually exactly the same.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
It was not bad. Your ears would sound traumatic like yours.
You sound like you really like through the ring. I
didn't really have any most of the time. If I
caught onto, then I knew how to like steer into
the skid and make it make the narrative change so
that I could be the funny one I did. I
did okay for the most part. Second grade I had
(34:55):
like a true bully, but other than that, I never
really did.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
I tried to be funny. Well, I don't know I
was funny, but you know, I'm funny and kind of
like my own way. Yeah, And it was only like
because I was at the same elementary school from kindergarten
to half of seventh grade. So like everyone knew who
I was. I was like always like the loud girl
who always wanted to go first for presentations and stuff.
(35:23):
When I moved schools, all of that changed, and I'm like,
part of me is still like that, And I'm like
that is so insane. How like one traumatic bullying experience
can really do that to you. But yeah, Like and
then when I got to the news school and I
was trying to be myself, people just thought I was
(35:46):
annoying and like made group chats about me, just talking
about me, and it was it was really hard. But
I had my close nerdy friend and we all like
to draw and stuff.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
Like the chats is so petty.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I know there was one called Leonora is annoying.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
See if I had felt that way about you when
we were in the same like eighth grade class or whatever,
I would have I would not have made a group
chat or participated in the group chat. I would have
just came up to you and I would have been like, Hey, Blondie,
what's with the loud volume? Where does that come from?
Speaker 3 (36:24):
I was in the drama clubs and You're like, I'm
not talking that loud.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Do you want to see my sketch.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
No, you would have known my schedule from back then.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I would have I would have confronted you in person
and made you and answer me in person. I would
not have been talking about you on a group chat.
I would have just I would have pulled up a chair.
I would have gotten content. I would put you on.
I would have put you on my podcast, on my
original podcast.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
I was thinking about the first or maybe it was
like this podcast episode we made on Magic Mix tape
Mondays when you know, Jacob was still living with us
and like that stuff, and like the second episode was
all about like IBS attacks, and then we were looking
at old text messages yesterday and I think those voice
clips from me saying like, oh my god, Jake was
(37:18):
about to come over the first time, and I literally
shipped myself. Do you remember that? Mm hmm, yeah, So
I think those were the messages that. Yeah, that was that.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
Was Magic Mix. Yes you are accessible.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Oh gosh, that.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Was supposed to be a podcast at the radio station.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Was gonna like sponsor and takeover, and so those were
like trial episodes and then never win anywhere.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Your original podcast was called No One in the Moon,
And I still think you should stick with that.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Well, No One in the Moon was a radio name
if I was gonna be on the radio. But you
know what's what's really trippy is Magic Mixtape. Monday was
a name I came up with, and now our in
this insider information by the way, but our are our
big boss at the radio station. She sends out an
email every Monday called the Monday Mixtape with like random
(38:13):
stuff that doesn't really matter. It's like random things that
we did on social media that week, or like things
if we went to like if there was like clients
or whatever, if it was like endorsements or whatever. And
it's like this big, long email with a ton of pictures.
It takes forever to download, and it's like everybody's competing
to be on this, to be in the Monday Mixtape.
And I was like, you took the news. You took
(38:33):
the fun out of Magic Mixtape Monday, which sounded like
this like really interesting like music podcast, and now it's
just like this corporate email we get. Yeah. Now, I
just like I cry when I see the email come
every week, even though I haven't done that podcast in
three years.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
I think No on the Moon is just like so
cute because I feel like I vibe with the Moon
a lot and stuff your contact picture of me in
your in your phone, like I literally look like I'm Moon.
I'm like I'm the Moon and it's so cute, Like
Will I go by Nora most of the time and
like my day to day life, so it's like Noah
and Nora on the morning whatever show. Wendy Williams. So yeah,
(39:16):
So the Halloween costume you guys did this year, who
was who? Who was Wendy Williams And Who's Katy Perry?
I know you were the rocket ship they're going on
that trip.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
I'm honestly not sure. I stuck to one character. I
think depending on like the TikTok we were.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Making, theosed to be Katy Perry.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Swapping out like Okay, John Jay, this time you're Katy Perry.
And then Rich was Katy Perry. At one point Dylan
was Katy Perry. I think, I know, I know Rich
and Dylan did a Gail King TikTok and the standard
of the whole.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Time Gail Kang. Yeah. So for my Halloween costume this year,
I had three. So first I wore it was to
my school's like Fall festival, Trunk Retreat and I was
Miss Frizzle from the Magic School Bus. And it was
so perfect for me because I have a little lizard man.
(40:13):
It's like a tall blass of wine accept instead a
fermented grape sweet on, a short gay guy in a soundboat.
Noah in the Moon Radio and the Moon Radio. It's insane, right,
it's insane, which brings me to my next costume. It's
(40:34):
Megan listening to Noah.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
And the Moon Radio. You're listening to.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Ere from Winnie the Poe Live from.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Phoenix, the best music, the best podcast in iTunes.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
This is Noah and the Moon Radio.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Those were good times. And then when Taylor was on,
Oh my goodness, so you were Megan.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Sorry, yeah, so I was Megan for my Halloween. Halloween
costume and then we went to the Life of a
Showgirl Taylor Swift Night at the vampur But I was
so cute. I just so cute. I got a dress
in Cali at a thrift shop. It was only four dollars,
(41:22):
was so cute, so sparkly. I still have sparkles all
over my bathroom and it's all over some clothes. But
she's so cute.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Well, okay, so you know, so I was like a
showgirl flapper. You know the episode of How I'm at
Your Mother where they all go to the club but
they're like it's past nine pm and they just had
soup and they're like, I have soup belly, I don't
want to be here, and they're just like sitting there
just like while everyone else is dancing at the club.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Did we get to that episode in season two? I
think I remember. I don't remember the soup part. I
remember them being tired at the club, but it.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
Was the one where we met Barney's brother.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's how we felt it.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
Life was young Girl Night. We've been to eight Taylor
Swift Nights over the years, probably more honestly, and we
usually have a blast, and this one was on a
Thursday and we were so tired from work and so
just like beaten like a dead horse. That everyone's standing
there just like screaming their hearts out to the same
five Tailor Swift songs that always play at these kind
(42:25):
of events, and we're just sitting there like, so water Burger,
Yeah sounds good, that's bounce.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Like straight up.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
We were just like, I was like, are we getting
too old?
Speaker 3 (42:34):
Through this, like, are we really hitting your mid twenties?
Speaker 4 (42:37):
Is the club just not for us?
Speaker 3 (42:40):
I think it was just not the right.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
There wasn't enough people and we couldn't get too drunk
because we had to work. Yeah, so if it would
have been a Friday night or Satday night, it would
have been totally different.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
But yeah, that was actually broke too.
Speaker 4 (42:52):
So why is the Van Buren charged so much for drinks?
You can go to the Rebel lout you get as
main drinks as you want and spend like.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Probably because the like rent more is.
Speaker 4 (43:02):
It was like thirty seven dollars, So that one drink
I had with the double shot, I.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
Was like, I'm out of here.
Speaker 4 (43:08):
Yeah, well I should be in bed.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
It's a bigger place, so it's probably got bigger rent.
So that's why the drinks are probably more expensive. All
Rebel Lounge it's not as big. It's kind of in
a shady area. Like the rent's probably not as much.
I don't know. The Rebel Lounge is just like the best.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
The Rebel Lounge is a vibe out there. You call
it shady.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
I didn't call it shady. It's just in a shady area.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
Indian School are you trying to say something about Julio BeRTOS.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
I thought it was it is a Julio BeRTOS. I
thought it was Philiberto's.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
No, that one's a Julio BeRTOS. Oh my god, there's Philibertos,
there's what's the one you like by your.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Old Housema, No Urto's, Oh, puerder Ico's, Puerto Rico's.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
Then there's Aliberto's, Julio Berto's, and I've seen I've seen
like another one. It's like it all depends on ownership
and m but yeah, it's not an actual Filabridos. It's
a wholio.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
And honestly, you can't get Mexican food anywhere else but here.
Like I tried getting Mexican food once in Kentucky when
me and jacoboard together. No, yeah, you know what their
red sauce was. It was ketchup.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
That's what my aunt says in Maryland when she goes and.
Speaker 3 (44:22):
I'm like, at least put some hot sauce.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
I've got anceladas And it was just ketchup.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
It just ket just ketch up a corn. And I'm like, no, British, like,
I mean, it is what.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
Folk over here that's got me, some beans on choashed.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Taco bed is better than this agasting.
Speaker 4 (44:43):
God. That's awful for Kentucky because I feel like in
Kentucky could at least get Tex mex which is close enough.
But if you try to go to a place that's
gonna claim themselves authentic, you're just getting ketchup.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
It was the only place open on a Sunday, That's why,
because the.
Speaker 4 (44:56):
Church, Oh Kentucky, oh dear old Kentucky. And another thing,
stick to fried Chicken, Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
I don't know if this has to do with the church.
I'm sorry if it does, but me and my friend
tried to go to Swig on Halloween night and we
were there at like six six fifty six fifty five closed.
Speaker 4 (45:15):
Mind you, Lenaura is not Mormon. She was not a
part of the LDS church.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
I'm not part of any church, and.
Speaker 4 (45:22):
You're still the first song in your head on Halloween
night was let's go to Swig. I mean, no offense,
but we live next to a Dutch Bros.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
But okay, I know we literally drove all the way
there just to get touch Bros. On the way back.
Speaker 4 (45:39):
So yeah, yeah, like Swig. But the problem is once
you start putting different things in soda, like heavy cream
all that stuff. It doesn't get it's not bubbly anymore,
and then you're just drinking like syrup milk.
Speaker 3 (45:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (45:53):
I love the idea of a twisted Doctor Pepper, the
dirty Doctor Pepper, all that stuff. It's trendy, you know,
but like it's just not practical.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
Twisted Sugar does it the best.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
You can have a you know, a Doctor Pepper float
or whoop your float, but let's not be just sticking
coffee creamer and doctor Pepper for no reason. It's silly.
But yeah, Twisted Sugar. Actually, that's that's too local though,
unless you live in Peoria or there's one in like Goodyear,
I think, so you don't. Twisted Sugar is kind of
like Crumble, but they make sodas too, like Switch, but
their sodas are so good. They do it just right,
(46:24):
and their cookies are better than Crumble, like one thousand percent.
I want to Twisted Sugar. If you come to Phoenix,
stop the Twisted Sugar. If you live here, stop on
by North Peoria, grab yourself and Twisted Sugar not a sponsor.
Yeah see now that's what I'm saying though. If Twisted
Sugar is like, I'm going to sponsor your wedding. Everybody
(46:47):
gets a cookie. I'm like, down, No, I don't feel
like that. I feel like it's cheesy.
Speaker 3 (46:53):
What if they make you like a cookie cake.
Speaker 4 (46:56):
If they make the wedding cake, that's a different story
because now like that's like, yeah, sniff, I can't level
of money because yeah, like but if they're like give
someone to get something, they're like, everybody grab a cookie
and then like there's like half of our wedding pictures
or like the pictures for Instagram to like post the
pictures on the cookie. I'm gonna be like, it's so stupid.
I can't do it any other event, any other anything,
(47:17):
like my graduation party. If they would have been like,
we're gonna give cookies for that would have been like absolutely.
But my wedding, I just feel like it's too special
to like corporately sell out. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
I remember Collins.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
I'm like a MELEI. It's gonna have some kind of
like brand deal that I don't know about it.
Speaker 3 (47:33):
I don't think she is, maybe if she's still working
at the commerce, but I don't know.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
I want to talk about the new painting, the Monopoly
one that you're gonna do for me? Oh okay, because
I want to talk about what happened in McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (47:49):
Yeah. So I found a painting and the paintings I
commissioned for Noah, he wants so much like extra shit
on them, Like he doesn't just want a painting, he.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
Wants I'm a hard customer, right, I was a random
person asking the paintings who probably would have blocked.
Speaker 3 (48:07):
Yeah, but I do these paintings when I don't have
ideas in my head. So anyway, like we've like stabbed
paintings before, we've like torn them apart, we glued shit
on them, like everything and everything, and they're all in
some way political. So that's a thing, oh, paintings. Yeah,
(48:30):
So the painting I found. So I was going through
like only art stuff. I have so much freaking art stuff,
and I found a canvas that had like a corner,
not like it wasn't a corner ripped out of it,
but in the middle of it looked like another corner
of another canvas went through it. And so it's like
a little like it looks like like pel like peel
(48:52):
back thing on a canvas.
Speaker 4 (48:54):
It's like you're feeling a sticker, which gave me the
idea of making a painting based off of the twenty
twenty five McDonald's Monopoly contest. Yeah, which every time they
do one of these, I participate. I usually get the
little bored I collect the little pieces, I get lunch
for a few days. I never win anything, but I
get close, usually super close, or you win a bunch
(49:16):
of food prizes. And so for two weeks straight, I
pretty much stopped my McDonald's every day after work, and
I either grab like a drink or some days I
grabbed like a full lunch, and I would get the
stickers and I got really close. I got like four
or five prizes close, almost won on RV. Like I
was like having a lot of fun, but I spent
a lot more than I intended to, because like in
(49:37):
the McDonald's app, you can get pretty good deals. You
can if you're going there just for like one thing,
you can get like four things for the price of one.
But none of those deals count when you're playing Monopoly,
because you have to pay full price and you have
to specifically order them through the app, and so on
the very last day of the contest. I was like,
maybe I can win that one last piece. It's the
last day. I went to McDonald's. I ordered like twenty
(49:58):
five dollars worth of just like them stuff and none
of the food had stickers on him. And the guy
comes out to my car and I was like, oh,
I think he gave me the wrong food. This one
doesn't have the stickers on him. And he's like, oh,
we ran out, like we've gone through our whole inventory.
And I was like, well, there's still one more day
of the contest and he was like, yeah, we just
we blew through it. All that's left or the large fry,
(50:18):
it's the only one that has the thing left. And
I was like, well, can I have a large fry?
Speaker 3 (50:22):
And he was like no, Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (50:24):
And I was like boiling because I had just spent
all this money and to play this game one last time,
and I knew I wasn't gonna I was already gonna
like have be out of money for not winning anything,
and now I'm spending even more. So we go back
and forth for a little bit, and long story short,
he reaches into his apron pocket, his dirty, greasy apron pocket,
and he hands me a handful of these peeled stickers
(50:47):
for pieces I already had that weren't worth anything. And
I was like, he was like, here, you can have these,
and I looked at him and I'm like, you still
have a bitch. I'm like, you guys are out of
inventory because you guys all the employees were in the
back scratching and pulling, peeling these things instead of selling
them to the customers. If you read the rules on
the monopoly contest, the employees can't play the McDonald's monopoly.
(51:11):
Well it's only for customers. So you're you're peeling and
if you had won something, you wouldn't have been able
to claim it. They wouldn't have given it to you,
and you would be you would have to you would
probably star have to pay the taxes on the prize. Yeah,
So I'm like, I'm like, what are you guys doing.
So he hands me these stickers and I'm like, okay, well,
I'll put them in the rewards thing anyway, because you
get points and then you can you get free stuff.
So I take these used peeled stickers and I on
(51:34):
that last day, I you know, washed my hands and
redeemed what I could, but I was just like so
grossed out and so like offended because they're like, you
take a place like McDonald's which is profiting off of this, right,
like everybody gets one prize away from winning, and so
they sell more and more food because people get their
gambling glasses on and they can't stop. And now you
(51:55):
have the employees playing too for a prize they can't win,
so you're you're just taking money out of their paychecks.
They're taking, they're taking they get paid on Friday and
over the weekend, they're buying fifty dollars worth of food
that goes right back into the cash register to play
a game they can't win, and the cycle just continues,
like corporate and profiting, right.
Speaker 3 (52:14):
Unless they're just taking the stickers, or.
Speaker 4 (52:17):
That even worse if they're stacking the stickers, which you
still can't claim. Yeah, but now the customers, we're spending
an arm and a leg in an economic downturn, right
with the government shut down, and like our money's sparse.
Now you're giving me I paid for fifty or twenty
(52:39):
two dollars worth of whatever fries with the monopoly sticker,
and they don't have the sticker because he has ran out. Like, so,
I don't know where the political message is, but I
got a great idea for a painting. Take that canvas
with a tear in it. It looks just like the
sticker peel, and we'll paint the sticker and we'll change
the words on it where it says you won fries
(53:01):
or you won Pennsylvania Avenue, and we'll.
Speaker 3 (53:03):
Just swap it out to Pennsylvania Avenue.
Speaker 4 (53:06):
Yeah, because they're Monopoly game pieces.
Speaker 3 (53:08):
Oh and we'll just swap in a whole ass street.
Speaker 4 (53:12):
If you collect the three streets, you get the RV
or whatever. So it's like we'll just paint something. We'll
paint the words different and then we'll do like we'll
make like a scary background and it'll be like a
corporate green painting and it'll be part of our little
political series we're doing. I think it's kind of cute.
So that's where we're at with that.
Speaker 3 (53:31):
And I can post these political paintings. I've just been
a little nervous too with you know. But if you
want to follow me, I have a lot of art
on Instagram, LCC Artistry a Z Yeah.
Speaker 4 (53:45):
Yeah, if you know anybody that one'd like to buy one,
of Leonora's pieces. That's something that either something that Laraty
exists or something that she can conjure up. You give
her the vibe, give her the idea and let her
do her mass her work, or you want something super
custom like me, depending on what you're looking for, depending
on the size, hire Leonora. She can make you a
(54:07):
tiny little office painting like part of our political series.
Are these little tiny canvases that aren't that big. Or
you can have a piece of wal Art, whatever you're
in the mood for. I think you should hire Leonora
because I think her paintings are worth tons of money,
and I think it'd be a good investment into into
her vision and it would be great portfolio work for her.
So if you need a painting, or if your family
needs a pain orf, your friends need a painting, or
(54:29):
your vet clinic needs a painting, whatever it might be.
Speaker 3 (54:33):
I just need to get more followers on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (54:35):
That was my goal here follow her on the LCC
artistry asy m h in Instagram. She wants to do
a painting for a Biscuits cafe right next to our apartment.
I think it's great because they have a bunch of
like random stock art paintings from Bobby Lobi.
Speaker 3 (54:47):
Yeah, they're all horses.
Speaker 4 (54:49):
Like, you can paint a better horse. That's what they want,
Then let's give her. Let's give them a real horse,
you know, mm hmm, not the Getty Images horse. So
we'll definitely share the McDonald's one, and you guys will
be in on the messaging and you guys will know
what we're why we painted it, and what we were doing.
Speaker 3 (55:06):
I'll make it. I'll make a real leaf suggestions.
Speaker 4 (55:08):
It'll be an insider podcast. When we make the post,
you guys will know because you heard us tell the story.
And if you played McDonald's Monopoly this year, did you
get close to winning? Did you win something? I know
they gave away like thousands of turntables that was like
the baseline price turntables, Like yeah for players, Oh okay,
the real kind like the one I have. I'm like,
(55:30):
that's a good prize. And then they like the grand
prize was like fifty thousand dollars trip and RV. And
I saw the girl who won the RV. She posted
on Reddit and she was like, guys, I won. Everybody
were at part three of our political series Gambling, Yes,
I love it. So yeah, that's basically the gist of
(55:51):
life right now. We're in the holiday season now, have
a great Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (55:58):
When's our next one? Is it not till next year?
Speaker 4 (56:01):
We're gonna do one right before Halloween, And then they
had us they had tous switch it to Rorie November.
So maybe one more in twenty twenty five, maybe the
beginning of twenty twenty six. And we have big plans
for twenty twenty six it.
Speaker 3 (56:15):
Too, so we're going on a trip into twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (56:19):
I'm hoping that, yes, we should do one in New
York with Claire and Carlos.
Speaker 3 (56:23):
Oh my god, that would be so much. That would
be so te. They love doing podcasts.
Speaker 5 (56:27):
Oh my god, that'd be so good.
Speaker 4 (56:29):
We could probably do an extended episode with them too,
because they could keep the conversation going.
Speaker 3 (56:32):
No literally can.
Speaker 4 (56:34):
So if that's what you would like, If you would
like an extended New Year's special of Couple's Therapy featuring
me and Leonora and her aunt and uncle who are
Marvel writers, right.
Speaker 3 (56:44):
One of them is the other one's a dark fantasy
novel writer but won an award for it.
Speaker 4 (56:49):
Still amazing live in the city with like ambulance noises
in the background. It'd be fun. Little asmr the Bronx
in Queens.
Speaker 3 (56:59):
Oh, it's in Queen's ship. I keep mixing up the suburbs,
the burroughs, the burrows, whatever they're called suburbs.
Speaker 4 (57:06):
You'll be in New York by the end of this one.
I'll be in New York. Carl, get out of my way.
At least we're not from New Jersey, I know, right.
Crawl back into the Sewitch pipe you call the Holland Tunnel.
Speaker 5 (57:21):
So savage. Okay, that is all for us today.
Speaker 4 (57:26):
Happy Sunday, Peace
Speaker 3 (57:28):
RP Sharing Derry by Org
Couple stand be tuning into today here the fun we

Speaker 2 (00:18):
My till.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Couple Stan think Colomba. It's a little bal podcast joke.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Kid, But did.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
You hear about like the youngest person being a lawyer today.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Like a seventeen year old girl.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
With China or some ship.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
You're quick.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, her brother's the second youngest to become a fucking lawyer.
And I'm like, I would not want a seventeen year old.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Defending my case. No, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
If you know the law, you know the law I know.
But like, it's very, very very hard to pass the
bar exam, so if she was able to pass it
and be appointed a lawyer, then she'd probably knows what
she's doing.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You can.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Take them.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
She failed, but most people fail three times, so we'll
see if you can do it and keep it right up.
She'll be just not average for everybody. But if she
fails like ten times, and it'll be really funny. But
it ain't funny yet.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
The club can't handle me right now?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
You know how to make him stop and stare as
eye zone now to the club. Panny even handle.
Speaker 3 (02:00):

Speaker 4 (02:06):
To the club. Can't even handle.
Speaker 5 (02:08):

Speaker 4 (02:12):
God, did you all see me on the the video
we posted on the John Jay and Richard a couple
weeks ago doing the Sam Smith trend pulling out the
big notes because.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
You're oh, lad need.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
But Arlie stay with me. Yeah, So anyway, Leonora is
here talk about when a room goes black. I forgot
what my metaphor was for my blackness in the room.
I was gonna say something mean, and I forgot what
(02:50):
my parents I was. I was trying to. I was
like vacuum abyss. You're like when the when you open
the dryer and you have to like clean out the
lint trap before you.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Excuse me, are you saying ashy? You're saying I'm dusty.
You're saying I'm some dusty, krusty dryer limbits.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
We're both crusty and dusty and ashy. When we run
out of our Jorgans, it's jargins. Sorry, I'm just saying
we're out of We're out of a lot of stuff.
I need to go to the grocery Store's why I
was leading to. Yeah, but I said Jorgans.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think instead of character's name or a brand of underwear,
it's one of the two.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Now all I can think about is Jorgan Fund strangle
from fairly exactly?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Do you do Arnold Schwartz and anger boys, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
You are pro good doub rules.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
No, I can't. I can't beat that. My dad.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
The chopper, I was the governor of California.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Well it hurts, Oh, it hurts so bad.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
So this year, the the newest buzz around this time
of year is not the red cup at Starbucks, but
the glass bear cup, the berrystick cup.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Okay, so so I had no idea about this whole
like glass bear craze, but I did see two of
my students had the same cup and they looked like
if you took like a honey jar, like a bear
honey jar, and just put like a straw in it.
And I'm like, is this it? That's what I thought
(04:49):
it was. And I'm like, is that just the newes?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Well, no, it's forever. It's like adults are.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
No, I didn't know there was like an adult version.
I thought it. I was like, why is everyone wanting
to get these little stupid cups?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Like, so are you telling me that people all over
the country weren't able to get their hands on one?
But some parents were able to get ones and they're
just giving them to their kids.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, no, no, no, I didn't know the Starbucks made
it a big thing. I thought it was just like
it just became popular, like how like hydro flasks and
Stanley's and just I thought it was that. But I've
been so broke I haven't been able to go Starbucks.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
So they sold out the first day?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh yeah, how big is it? Is it like this
eventye size? Or is it like the size of like
a honeybeer?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Wait, so your kids do have one or don't have one?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well? I thought it was yes, they do, but it's
not the Starbucks one. It just looks like a honeybear
with a straw I put in like the top.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I feel like that's the parents coping with not being
able to get one, because a lot of people just
they say fuck it and they go. They get the honeybear,
empty out the honey and just stick a straw, and
they're like living through their kids. So they're like, here
you go.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, but it's like she can't. They're squishy too, like he's.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Gonna go cry in her car. Well, the real ones
are glass, yeah, and they're cool. I want one but
not enough to stand in line overnight.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I feel like you could find something cooler at the
thirst store if like, are you guys really gonna drink
out of it? Are you gonna put? Like?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Well, yeah, the real one's big. I don't know if
it's VENTI big, but like it looks it looks good.
At first I thought it looked cheesy, but then I
saw one on TikTok, like actually like someone holding in
and I'm like, oh, okay, this is practical.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I then guy saw the green one, and I'm like, but.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
So, here's the thing. Kyle went to six different Starbucks
in the East Valley looking for one the day they
came out early before the show started, and then she
wasn't able to find one. Jogi tried. I think if
there's if they're only selling out because they're a trend,
then you gotta go somewhere where trends don't happen. My
first thought was Sun City.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
That's so true.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I don't think the old people know what the hell
that cup is.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
So like, it's just a novelty.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
You want a hard candy, you want a butterscotch dish.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You want my smoker's ash tray. I put my mama's
ashes in it.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I'm just ashy. Is you cash?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
She dad seventy years ago? There's some old ash ash.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
So what I'm thinking is this week. I know it's
been like a week or two since these have dropped,
and they're probably still that nationwide, but I still feel
like there's a possibility, a slim chance, a slim picking,
if you will, Sabrina Carpenter, that there is a couple
of these floating around in sun City because.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Someone goes to Yuma.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
You want to drive to Yuma.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
No, I'm not getting in the cup, but I.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Think I could walk into like Bashes or something that's true,
and maybe they'll have it at the Starbucks in side
there because the hell goes in there. Yeah, yeah, Arizona thing.
If you know, you know I love Bashes too. They're
closing all over the place. The one by us is
like the only one I know of that's left. I
know there's a couple more, but isn't that sad?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah? I love Safeway and Albertson's.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
So if you just something surpasses them, well, it surpasses who.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Fries, Like, I know, Fries is like the big one now,
but they've become like too corporate. You know how we've
said we we don't like the big ones. I miss
the vibe of like regular grocery stores where you just
go in to get food.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
It's too much. You go to an old fries it's
so great, such a vibe any any old groger, but
you go into it. You go into these new ones
they build with the solar panel park.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
God, I know what is this if they're stressful to
be in. It's like disney Land, but for I don't know,
vegetable nightmares. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Well, I remember when that one, the one by our
high school, opened up when we were in high school,
and it was brand new. It was the biggest one
in the state at the time. And I walked in
and I was trying to figure ou where everything was at,
and I was looking for I was looking for honey coincidentally,
and I turned to this lady and I was like, Hey,
can can you appoint me to where which the honey
is in? Like is it over here? And she was like, sir,
(09:25):
you're in Murray's Cheese Shop. And I was like, what
it's like, this is Murray's Cheese Shop. It's a part
of the store where we just sell cheese. And I
was like, well, am I not in fries And she's like,
you're in fries, but this is Murray's Chee Shop. I
can only help you with Murray'scheese Shop related things. And
I was like, so, do you work for the store though,
(09:46):
She's like yes, but that was not her department. So
I literally had to like get out of the cheese
area before I could ask somebody for help. And I
was like, this store's doing too much.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
That kind of happened with me at Walmart the other day,
but it was so much more simpler than that. Like
I was walking down the aisle those girls putting books
on the shelf and I'm like, excuse me, do you
work here? She's like yeah, but I'm just a vendor.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
So now, when did you go to Walmart?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
What was I kidding? Oh? It was when I was
getting the pieces for my Megan costume.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Oh okay. I was like, did I go to Walmart?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Not?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
No? Yeah, I know, like, yeah, it was so stressful
for no reason.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Oh my gosh, but even the Walmarts are changing, Like
it's keep moving. They keep moving stuff around for no reason.
I don't know why. I stopped myself. I could have said, ship, yeah,
I know, this is my radio. There was one time
I was on the radio telling a story live and
I was like.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Show show another my babysitter and like never Rich had.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
His hand over the cuss button like ready to hit it,
and like I, I caught myself And so I saved
myself just some time. And Johnny was like, you almost
did it.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I was like, my my babysitter, if she like stubbed
her toe or something happened, she goes shit talky mushrooms.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
But yeah, I was in Walmart where they usually have
like the shampoo and all that like personal care stuff,
which has been the same at the WAM where I
go to since I was like seven.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
No, no, it's in the middle.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Now body watchers in the same spot, but shampoo's all
the way over there in the middle. And I had
a hell of a time last night I was in there.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Well, were you looking at women's or men's shampoo?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
It doesn't matter. They all moved them all and it
was women's.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Like the smell I watered my down dove.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
It's dove. It makes my hair soft. But no, seriously,
like I I'm looking at all the soaps. I'm looking
at all the deodorants, and I go to the next
dile and its makeup, and I go to the next
dial and it's like Christmas stuff, and I'm like, what
is going on? So I literally asked themone and they're like, oh,
that's in the middle now, and I was like what.
So it's like if you're there to buy shampoo and
body wash, like I feel like different parts of your
(12:11):
trip there.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Target try to do it first with the Ulta thing,
but that's a whole different store. Like Ulta employees, like
I think sometimes go there to like cover shifts and stuff.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I don't say that's weird. That's weird because it's like
when it's like when they have the Starbucks inside the
grocery stores and it's just like a grocery store, or
like when you check out and instead of the.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Starbucks, Cole's always had Sephora.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Well they're like they've like merged now. I think Coles
owned Sephora because they put Seor's logo on the front door.
I'm not sure how that works.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
But probably because like I don't know, I feel like
Sephora was like really going down the gutter after makeup
YouTube makeup community, you know, literally like exploded, and we
all know when that happened, the whole like James Charles,
Jane Dawson, TA to you Westbrook. I felt like everything
(13:04):
just lancelid and like something something happened with makeup and
I'm like really sad about it, and now it's only like.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
A lot of trauma there. Yeah, and then on top
of it, we lost Jena Marbles all in.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Oh no, this twenty twenty man speaking.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Twenty, this whole decade's been something else.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, But I mean the twenty twenties, I mean, I
mean the twenties one hundred years ago was also insane.
So I feel like history is just repeating itself.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Well, in the nineteen twenties, they didn't have her Shee's
kisses Cherry Cordial.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Just the whole reason I brought up Walmart because I saw, oh.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
What's her name on I think it's like Susie Susie Cue. Anyway,
I had to like dig for those cherry cordials. Like
we were in the like holiday we were in the
holiday section of like the candy and all the stuff
(14:10):
at Fries. Was it fries. Yeah, and so it's like, okay,
here's like hot cocoa and the mint one. I'm like
where the cherry cordials got to be somewhere? I had
to like open not open boxes, but like go underneath
some of the display boxes, and there was one sitting
on just one and I'm like, got it. Someone was
(14:32):
hiding this, like I don't know if like an employee
was and they were waiting to buy it after their shift.
So I'm sorry if that was you, but I found
it first.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
So Susie the FOODI s o o Z not s
u Z that you won't be able to find it
unless you know it's s O o Z s o Z.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
I E the foody.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It's like tooky, but with the Z.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yeah. She goes to all the different grocery stores and
she points out whatever the new products are, the seasonal
products are. Like almost daily she posts like seventy five pictures,
Like she'll have a Facebook post or Twitter post with
seventy five pictures of every new thing she's found. She
is single handingly keeping the junk food nerds like up
(15:20):
to date, right, and so I get her posts very
often of oh look they have a vanilla in mint tombs.
Thank you, see.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Foodie interesting, it's for the holidays. So she did a
Walmart post with all the new stuff at Walmart for
the holidays, and that is when she posted the Kisses
Cherry Cordial and so we found the singular bag of
fries when we're so happy because I was going to
start tracking these down. Literally her she's kisses with cherry
(15:50):
goop in the middle.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I think there's like a skin something in the middle too. Skin, yeah,
because it's supposed to be kind of like a cherry
because when I was when I was eating them.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Last night in bed, I freaking knew it.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Like so I kind of like pinch off the top
because that's just like chocolate, right, and like you can
almost like suck suck it out, or you could like
wait till it melts and just breaks down. But there is,
like I think there's something else in there. I don't know.
It could just be like I don't know, if it's
like a film between the goop and the chocolate. I
(16:31):
don't know. But they're so good. They're not as good
as like skin.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
That's a new one. Yeah, watch one episode of ed
Gene and suddenly an expert on skin.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Oh that's supposed to be the highlight. I'm like, what's
that in the picture. Maybe you need to try one right.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Now, okay, and go get one. I would tell you
to go get one, but you probably only have like
two left.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
That is not true. I only had two last night.
Speaking of Facebook, I thought this was hilarious. But this
is just me and my family kind of thing. But
my sister got engaged yesterday and we're also happy for her.
And my dad was like the first one to ask
(17:15):
her and like he's like, oh my god, can we
like tell the world, And so she makes a post,
But the first post he makes today is happy two
hundred and fiftieth birthday Marines. Yeah, and I'm like, you're
gonna like I get that. I get that. They're a
big part of your life, like huge, huge part of
(17:38):
your life. But your daughter your your first daughter, just
not your first daughter. I'm his first daughter. But the
first daughter who got engaged just got engaged.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
So do you think that would be prioritized that I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
He posts a.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Lot okay into the I'm biting down the middle, which
I know is very inconvenient, or I can.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Try to just link. Okay, there's like a thicker layer
of chocolate on the bottom, but you froze yours, yeah, mine.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Or worm so it looks like yeah, and it's pink
one frozen red when not, that's interesting. We have the cherry.
It's like a thick milky well no, not milky, because
then it would be kind of liquidy. It's it's like
a gel even when it was warm.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Doesn't think the skin I'm thinking of is just an
extra slab of chocolate on the bottom.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Those are pretty good.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
And then we also went to Fries to get the
holiday cream vanilla Coca Cola. I love how vanilla is
just becoming like a holiday scent. I've loved vanilla anything.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Well, what I really want to find, They don't make
no chocolate company has made this that I can find
since I was a kid. But in the fifth grade,
Hershey's came out with I forgot exactly what they are called,
not drops, because they still sell drops, but it was
like the same time that drops came out, and it
(19:26):
was like Hershey's chocolate filled cream filled chocolate like variety bag.
There were three flavors. One was like caramel something, one
was fudge, the third one was vanilla, and it had
a liquid vanilla center.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I think I remember that those were so good.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I bought them every every week for like a year,
and then they discontinued them. And to this day, you
can find cherry filled chocolate, you can find orange filled chocolate,
you can find in between, but you can't find just
like a liquid vanilla core. It doesn't exist. I've tried.
You can do truffles that have like a vanilla center,
but they're like vanilla. It's like white chocolate.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
I feel like the closest you're gonna find is the
the kisses Hot Cocoa one. It's I think it's supposed
to be marshmallow, but I'm not.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Hershey's Simple Pleasures, That's what it was. Hershey's Simple Pleasures.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Oh the York looking things.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Looks like York peppermint patties.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
They were available in twenty twelve. They had a Simple
Pleasures in the middle.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
They were so good.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
I literally cried.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I cried dead when those got discontinued because that was
the best chocolate.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
People just probably thought you liked York peppermint patties and
they got you that, and I'm like, I don't want
this though. Give them to my mom.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Give them a winter fret.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
She likes pit. It's cold, like her soul wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Let's see if AI can tell us why they've been
discontin I'm not trying.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
To bringing a clinker into this.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Get out of here. Yeah, Clanker Simple Pleasures line was
launched in June twenty twelve. June twenty twelve, okay, yeah,
actually that sounds all right. I'm gonna say it was
in the fifth grade the second half of that year.
Okaym No, AI was not helpful. AI literally says well.
(21:25):
Some online groceries or third party sellers may occasionally list
the product as in stock. It is no longer actively
produced by the Heirsty company. Yes, it's no longer produced,
but it's never in stock. It hasn't been in stock
since twenty thirteen. That's just AI trying to like make
shit up. I hate when it does that.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah, and the ones they probably do have now ur
probably expired.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Wouldn't that be funny if they was on eBay?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
We needed to do like those Google deep dives like
Jenna dim her channel. That was so funny.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Remember when market plier used to do that Google game.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Like the dinosaur one, or you'd just like jump over
the thing when you had a WIFEI.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
No Google feud. These were so funny. If you are
a market plier fan, go Flan. If you're a market
plyer fan, go watch his Google feud videos from like
twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
He got married this year, ah, or it was either
this year or last year, but like it was recently. Oh,
just everyone's getting engaged.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Everybody's getting engaged. It's the time of year. Love is love.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I have I have a funny story too. Yes, So
when my parents kind of knew when my sister's fiance
was going to ask them for their blessing, my mom
called me beforehand and she was like hi, And this
(22:49):
was right after I broke up with like this with
a boyfriend I was like with for like.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
A month with Steven Stephen.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
We might have mentioned him and might have yeah and
second date update did not happen. Well, we did go
on a second date, but it kind of had the
same outcome as the first one anyway. So this was like, yeah,
like right after I broke up with him, and she
(23:18):
she calls me and she's like, hey, so I have
your great grandmother's ring, you know, the great grandmother you're
named after. And I just want to know if it's
okay if I give this to Andrew, my sister's fiance,
(23:39):
you know, for him to like propose to her with it.
She's like, it's yellow gold, and you don't usually wear yellow,
So like that's girl logic right there. And I was like,
I mean, I'm not gonna use it anytime soon, obviously,
so and Amelia is way more into like the family
traditions and stuff like that. Like I know at her wedding,
(24:02):
she's gonna do like something new, something new, something oh
something blue redfish too fish, bluefish and so. Yeah, but
he didn't. He didn't propose to her with that ring.
And I was kind of salty about that. But they
already looked up fucking wedding venues. I'm sorry, Like she
(24:22):
knew it was coming. I'm sorry she.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Was playing the wedding before it even happened. I know
does that.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I love my sister to death, but she can overplan
things sometimes and she wants me to be the like
made of honor.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
She basically gave Andrew like a time frame on the
calendar to that she would be okay with him proposing.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
A time frame, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Based on when she wants to get married, Like she's
gonna be a total bridezilla.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
You're so right.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
The next year we're about walking on eggshells around that girl.
I know what is this? And I'll be like, oh
that was that was the white tablecloth you asked for.
This is cream, This its eggshell.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I'm sorry, don't And she said, She's like, I'm gonna
have everything DIY homemade. Like I'm like, sure, we'll see.
Really yeah, I think she.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
To save costs. Yeah, see, I don't want that. I
want my wedding. I don't want to force my wedding
to be done at a certain time because I want
to be able to afford.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
The day I want our wedding.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
We all have high expectations. Amelia clearly has your joking.
What would you say, I.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Said, our wedding, our lavender wedding.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Lavender wedding. I just I don't think like cutting costs
or like getting a sponsor, or, like trying.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
To a sponsor do that, or rich.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
I'm sure they all have, but I'm saying like I
wouldn't want to do I wouldn't want to like I
want to find the best possible people to hire, not
because we're working together or not because there's an opportunity there.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Like like you just want yours to be like a smooth,
easy piece as like, don't give me a fixer upper wedding.
I don't want to do it myself.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Ye plans and I don't want a backyard wedding mm hmm.
And I feel like Amelia might be like, oh, I
can't afford that venue. So we're gonna do Like.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
We're gonna do home cooked food.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Everyone everybody has to bring a side dish. I'm like,
that's your wedding day. Like if there's a sign up
sheet and we have to bring freaking macaroni salad to
the wedding, like it's crazy. I mean, and I'll don't work,
don't like I'll be there either way, like to support,
Like I'm not gonna judge your wedding.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
We're bashing on all weddings, Amelia.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
But like it's just interesting. It's interesting watching two nineteen
year olds like plan this out and the way that
they from the rose colored lenses that they see their
life because they haven't hit the same hardscapes that we've
hit in our twenties. We're becoming a little more realistic
(27:20):
adults as we continue h our frontal lobes are developing.
Theirs is not I love them to death. There's just
gonna be a little bit of a learning curve. So
either I just have to keep my mouth shut, and
I think that's yeah. But because she's so stubborn, she's
going to be set on what she wants and I'm
(27:41):
sure it'll be a great day. And nonetheless, like it's
not me bashing on her, but it is. It is
funny to watch in the background until it's my own.
When it's my wedding, stay away from me. I'll be Bridezilla,
be Groomzilla.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
So I did talk to my sister yesterday and I
was like, I noticed you didn't use Grandma Ellie's ring,
and that's what we always call her, great Grandma Eleanor.
And when my mom told me, she told me that
when she was thinking of like a name for me,
she was either going to go with Aurora or Lenora,
(28:16):
and my great grandma Eleanor this is her grandmother, said
oh yeah, that was actually my name back in Romania
was Leonora. But when I came here, they said it
was too complicated, so they switched some letters around.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
That's terrible.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
So yeah, and my mom, she had never the name before.
I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
She was well.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I mean there was a big baby book of names.
I was always passed around my family, like it's like
a dictionary, but with baby names, and like then they
and then they just picked the most basic names, like anyway,
it was either between Aurora or or Lenora. And usually
(29:03):
my my version and my name is spelled l e
A n O r a. But she was like just
l E n O r a, which still confuses people.
People still say are wrong. It's literally it's not that
hard to say. It's link spelled out for you. But
I've been called Loretta Rexa, Leonora keen Wa. No, that
(29:26):
was no lean Wa lean Wa from your Alexa. No,
I don't want to turn her own. She's always listening Alexa.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
My name was going to be nick Ethan. What else
was there? I think like Tyler Kyler. No, it was
my dad. I think that like to Tyler and my
almost like Tyler and every Tyler I went to school with,
woud up being like evil. So glad that didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I know, like Tyler Woods Wait Tiger would.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
But if I was a girl, I was supposed to
be Zoe or was that Zach was Zach Spo? My
brother was my brother supposed to be Zolle.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
It would be so cute. I could see you as
a Zoe.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
I think it was supposed to be Zoe. It would
be so mad if I got that wrong.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
If I was a boy, if me or Chrissy were boys,
then we would have been named Kellen.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
No, yeah, And I thought it was so lame until
I started listening to emo music and the singer of
Sleeping with Sirens.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Is name Kellen Quinn And that's a boy name.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Yeah, but he sounds like a woman.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
That's interesting because we.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Have it sounds like Helen but with a k.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
We have like a radio research person that like comes
by once a year to the radio station. They do
like a bunch of surveys and research and stuff. And
the guy travels like with an assistant or like with
a senior director. I don't know. I'm not sure what
her job is. But her name is Kellen Oh, and
it's a girl, and I think it sounds good for her.
(31:12):
But if that's a boy name, now I'm even more
thrown off. Yeah, but shout out to you, Kellen, see
you next year. For our annual meeting. She shows up
to the station, she opens up her laptop, starts pulling
up all of her information or whatever, and she always
has her calendar open and so I can just read
her whole month. So I'm always just like I always
get a little glimpse into the life of Kellen'll be
(31:33):
like she'll have like it'll say like today meet with
John Jay and Rich and then it'll be like Thursday,
Orthodontis appointments for Adeline at one pm.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
And I'm like, oh, you're busy on Thursday, Han Kellen
taking a day off work. Huh, gotta leave early. And
she like flies all over the country to do all
these meetings with all the different shows. So it's like,
I'm like, how do you keep track of like when
you're her home's like in Ohio or something, I'm.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Like, how do you keep track of all this calendar?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Literally local calendar?
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah, But for a Milia, my parents were trying to
have a boy with her, and she was like a
tomboy for like the longest time. And then senior year
came and like she got a boyfriend and chadwife, no offense,
Samelia love you to death. But she still has her
(32:28):
personality quirks though. She has this whole like military sergeant
side to her, like the whole thing. She has a
whole backstory. If you thought I had a backstory, my
younger sister has a big one. Where was I going?
Speaker 4 (32:46):
But yeah, you would have never guessed, like five years
ago that she would own more dresses than Yeah, I know,
and they're all so beautiful sun dresses. And I'm like, Amelia, like,
I've known your sister Leonora's since high school and you
were like tomboy, tomboy, what changed?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
No? Literally, She's like, I think I just feel more
free and happy.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Well that's good.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
My dad is named Joel, my favorite character in the
Last of Us I know, right, So they were gonna
go with Joel Junior, you call him jj Oh. So
glad they ended up having a girl. But Emelia, I'm like,
oh my god, I hear that name everywhere, but it's
(33:34):
like all different versions and spellings of it. But the
funniest part I felt was when I saw Megan two
and the artificial military intelligent something robot was like an
acronym for Amilia spent spelt the same way.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
Oh yeah, it was like artificial military engagement. Yeah, got
engagement something something a device or something like that. Yeah,
Joeld I don't know. Yeah, John Jacob Joel Junior Schmidt.
(34:16):
My name was your name too. That's what I would
have That's why I would have bullied your brother in
elementary school.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
What if I had two brothers?
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Bully anybody in elementary school.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Actually exactly the same.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
It was not bad. Your ears would sound traumatic like yours.
You sound like you really like through the ring. I
didn't really have any most of the time. If I
caught onto, then I knew how to like steer into
the skid and make it make the narrative change so
that I could be the funny one I did. I
did okay for the most part. Second grade I had
(34:55):
like a true bully, but other than that, I never
really did.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
I tried to be funny. Well, I don't know I
was funny, but you know, I'm funny and kind of
like my own way. Yeah, And it was only like
because I was at the same elementary school from kindergarten
to half of seventh grade. So like everyone knew who
I was. I was like always like the loud girl
who always wanted to go first for presentations and stuff.
(35:23):
When I moved schools, all of that changed, and I'm like,
part of me is still like that, And I'm like
that is so insane. How like one traumatic bullying experience
can really do that to you. But yeah, Like and
then when I got to the news school and I
was trying to be myself, people just thought I was
(35:46):
annoying and like made group chats about me, just talking
about me, and it was it was really hard. But
I had my close nerdy friend and we all like
to draw and stuff.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
Like the chats is so petty.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I know there was one called Leonora is annoying.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
See if I had felt that way about you when
we were in the same like eighth grade class or whatever,
I would have I would not have made a group
chat or participated in the group chat. I would have
just came up to you and I would have been like, Hey, Blondie,
what's with the loud volume? Where does that come from?
Speaker 3 (36:24):
I was in the drama clubs and You're like, I'm
not talking that loud.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Do you want to see my sketch.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
No, you would have known my schedule from back then.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I would have I would have confronted you in person
and made you and answer me in person. I would
not have been talking about you on a group chat.
I would have just I would have pulled up a chair.
I would have gotten content. I would put you on.
I would have put you on my podcast, on my
original podcast.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
I was thinking about the first or maybe it was
like this podcast episode we made on Magic Mix tape
Mondays when you know, Jacob was still living with us
and like that stuff, and like the second episode was
all about like IBS attacks, and then we were looking
at old text messages yesterday and I think those voice
clips from me saying like, oh my god, Jake was
(37:18):
about to come over the first time, and I literally
shipped myself. Do you remember that? Mm hmm, yeah, So
I think those were the messages that. Yeah, that was that.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
Was Magic Mix. Yes you are accessible.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Oh gosh, that.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Was supposed to be a podcast at the radio station.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Was gonna like sponsor and takeover, and so those were
like trial episodes and then never win anywhere.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Your original podcast was called No One in the Moon,
And I still think you should stick with that.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Well, No One in the Moon was a radio name
if I was gonna be on the radio. But you
know what's what's really trippy is Magic Mixtape. Monday was
a name I came up with, and now our in
this insider information by the way, but our are our
big boss at the radio station. She sends out an
email every Monday called the Monday Mixtape with like random
(38:13):
stuff that doesn't really matter. It's like random things that
we did on social media that week, or like things
if we went to like if there was like clients
or whatever, if it was like endorsements or whatever. And
it's like this big, long email with a ton of pictures.
It takes forever to download, and it's like everybody's competing
to be on this, to be in the Monday Mixtape.
And I was like, you took the news. You took
(38:33):
the fun out of Magic Mixtape Monday, which sounded like
this like really interesting like music podcast, and now it's
just like this corporate email we get. Yeah. Now, I
just like I cry when I see the email come
every week, even though I haven't done that podcast in
three years.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
I think No on the Moon is just like so
cute because I feel like I vibe with the Moon
a lot and stuff your contact picture of me in
your in your phone, like I literally look like I'm Moon.
I'm like I'm the Moon and it's so cute, Like
Will I go by Nora most of the time and
like my day to day life, so it's like Noah
and Nora on the morning whatever show. Wendy Williams. So yeah,
(39:16):
So the Halloween costume you guys did this year, who
was who? Who was Wendy Williams And Who's Katy Perry?
I know you were the rocket ship they're going on
that trip.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
I'm honestly not sure. I stuck to one character. I
think depending on like the TikTok we were.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Making, theosed to be Katy Perry.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Swapping out like Okay, John Jay, this time you're Katy Perry.
And then Rich was Katy Perry. At one point Dylan
was Katy Perry. I think, I know, I know Rich
and Dylan did a Gail King TikTok and the standard
of the whole.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Time Gail Kang. Yeah. So for my Halloween costume this year,
I had three. So first I wore it was to
my school's like Fall festival, Trunk Retreat and I was
Miss Frizzle from the Magic School Bus. And it was
so perfect for me because I have a little lizard man.
(40:13):
It's like a tall blass of wine accept instead a
fermented grape sweet on, a short gay guy in a soundboat.
Noah in the Moon Radio and the Moon Radio. It's insane, right,
it's insane, which brings me to my next costume. It's
(40:34):
Megan listening to Noah.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
And the Moon Radio. You're listening to.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Ere from Winnie the Poe Live from.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Phoenix, the best music, the best podcast in iTunes.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
This is Noah and the Moon Radio.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Those were good times. And then when Taylor was on,
Oh my goodness, so you were Megan.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Sorry, yeah, so I was Megan for my Halloween. Halloween
costume and then we went to the Life of a
Showgirl Taylor Swift Night at the vampur But I was
so cute. I just so cute. I got a dress
in Cali at a thrift shop. It was only four dollars,
(41:22):
was so cute, so sparkly. I still have sparkles all
over my bathroom and it's all over some clothes. But
she's so cute.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Well, okay, so you know, so I was like a
showgirl flapper. You know the episode of How I'm at
Your Mother where they all go to the club but
they're like it's past nine pm and they just had
soup and they're like, I have soup belly, I don't
want to be here, and they're just like sitting there
just like while everyone else is dancing at the club.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Did we get to that episode in season two? I
think I remember. I don't remember the soup part. I
remember them being tired at the club, but it.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
Was the one where we met Barney's brother.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's how we felt it.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
Life was young Girl Night. We've been to eight Taylor
Swift Nights over the years, probably more honestly, and we
usually have a blast, and this one was on a
Thursday and we were so tired from work and so
just like beaten like a dead horse. That everyone's standing
there just like screaming their hearts out to the same
five Tailor Swift songs that always play at these kind
(42:25):
of events, and we're just sitting there like, so water Burger,
Yeah sounds good, that's bounce.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Like straight up.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
We were just like, I was like, are we getting
too old?
Speaker 3 (42:34):
Through this, like, are we really hitting your mid twenties?
Speaker 4 (42:37):
Is the club just not for us?
Speaker 3 (42:40):
I think it was just not the right.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
There wasn't enough people and we couldn't get too drunk
because we had to work. Yeah, so if it would
have been a Friday night or Satday night, it would
have been totally different.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
But yeah, that was actually broke too.
Speaker 4 (42:52):
So why is the Van Buren charged so much for drinks?
You can go to the Rebel lout you get as
main drinks as you want and spend like.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Probably because the like rent more is.
Speaker 4 (43:02):
It was like thirty seven dollars, So that one drink
I had with the double shot, I.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
Was like, I'm out of here.
Speaker 4 (43:08):
Yeah, well I should be in bed.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
It's a bigger place, so it's probably got bigger rent.
So that's why the drinks are probably more expensive. All
Rebel Lounge it's not as big. It's kind of in
a shady area. Like the rent's probably not as much.
I don't know. The Rebel Lounge is just like the best.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
The Rebel Lounge is a vibe out there. You call
it shady.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
I didn't call it shady. It's just in a shady area.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
Indian School are you trying to say something about Julio BeRTOS.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
I thought it was it is a Julio BeRTOS. I
thought it was Philiberto's.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
No, that one's a Julio BeRTOS. Oh my god, there's Philibertos,
there's what's the one you like by your.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Old Housema, No Urto's, Oh, puerder Ico's, Puerto Rico's.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
Then there's Aliberto's, Julio Berto's, and I've seen I've seen
like another one. It's like it all depends on ownership
and m but yeah, it's not an actual Filabridos. It's
a wholio.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
And honestly, you can't get Mexican food anywhere else but here.
Like I tried getting Mexican food once in Kentucky when
me and jacoboard together. No, yeah, you know what their
red sauce was. It was ketchup.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
That's what my aunt says in Maryland when she goes and.
Speaker 3 (44:22):
I'm like, at least put some hot sauce.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
I've got anceladas And it was just ketchup.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
It just ket just ketch up a corn. And I'm like, no, British, like,
I mean, it is what.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
Folk over here that's got me, some beans on choashed.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Taco bed is better than this agasting.
Speaker 4 (44:43):
God. That's awful for Kentucky because I feel like in
Kentucky could at least get Tex mex which is close enough.
But if you try to go to a place that's
gonna claim themselves authentic, you're just getting ketchup.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
It was the only place open on a Sunday, That's why,
because the.
Speaker 4 (44:56):
Church, Oh Kentucky, oh dear old Kentucky. And another thing,
stick to fried Chicken, Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
I don't know if this has to do with the church.
I'm sorry if it does, but me and my friend
tried to go to Swig on Halloween night and we
were there at like six six fifty six fifty five closed.
Speaker 4 (45:15):
Mind you, Lenaura is not Mormon. She was not a
part of the LDS church.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
I'm not part of any church, and.
Speaker 4 (45:22):
You're still the first song in your head on Halloween
night was let's go to Swig. I mean, no offense,
but we live next to a Dutch Bros.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
But okay, I know we literally drove all the way
there just to get touch Bros. On the way back.
Speaker 4 (45:39):
So yeah, yeah, like Swig. But the problem is once
you start putting different things in soda, like heavy cream
all that stuff. It doesn't get it's not bubbly anymore,
and then you're just drinking like syrup milk.
Speaker 3 (45:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (45:53):
I love the idea of a twisted Doctor Pepper, the
dirty Doctor Pepper, all that stuff. It's trendy, you know,
but like it's just not practical.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
Twisted Sugar does it the best.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
You can have a you know, a Doctor Pepper float
or whoop your float, but let's not be just sticking
coffee creamer and doctor Pepper for no reason. It's silly.
But yeah, Twisted Sugar. Actually, that's that's too local though,
unless you live in Peoria or there's one in like Goodyear,
I think, so you don't. Twisted Sugar is kind of
like Crumble, but they make sodas too, like Switch, but
their sodas are so good. They do it just right,
(46:24):
and their cookies are better than Crumble, like one thousand percent.
I want to Twisted Sugar. If you come to Phoenix,
stop the Twisted Sugar. If you live here, stop on
by North Peoria, grab yourself and Twisted Sugar not a sponsor.
Yeah see now that's what I'm saying though. If Twisted
Sugar is like, I'm going to sponsor your wedding. Everybody
(46:47):
gets a cookie. I'm like, down, No, I don't feel
like that. I feel like it's cheesy.
Speaker 3 (46:53):
What if they make you like a cookie cake.
Speaker 4 (46:56):
If they make the wedding cake, that's a different story
because now like that's like, yeah, sniff, I can't level
of money because yeah, like but if they're like give
someone to get something, they're like, everybody grab a cookie
and then like there's like half of our wedding pictures
or like the pictures for Instagram to like post the
pictures on the cookie. I'm gonna be like, it's so stupid.
I can't do it any other event, any other anything,
(47:17):
like my graduation party. If they would have been like,
we're gonna give cookies for that would have been like absolutely.
But my wedding, I just feel like it's too special
to like corporately sell out. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
I remember Collins.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
I'm like a MELEI. It's gonna have some kind of
like brand deal that I don't know about it.
Speaker 3 (47:33):
I don't think she is, maybe if she's still working
at the commerce, but I don't know.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
I want to talk about the new painting, the Monopoly
one that you're gonna do for me? Oh okay, because
I want to talk about what happened in McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (47:49):
Yeah. So I found a painting and the paintings I
commissioned for Noah, he wants so much like extra shit
on them, Like he doesn't just want a painting, he.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
Wants I'm a hard customer, right, I was a random
person asking the paintings who probably would have blocked.
Speaker 3 (48:07):
Yeah, but I do these paintings when I don't have
ideas in my head. So anyway, like we've like stabbed
paintings before, we've like torn them apart, we glued shit
on them, like everything and everything, and they're all in
some way political. So that's a thing, oh, paintings. Yeah,
(48:30):
So the painting I found. So I was going through
like only art stuff. I have so much freaking art stuff,
and I found a canvas that had like a corner,
not like it wasn't a corner ripped out of it,
but in the middle of it looked like another corner
of another canvas went through it. And so it's like
a little like it looks like like pel like peel
(48:52):
back thing on a canvas.
Speaker 4 (48:54):
It's like you're feeling a sticker, which gave me the
idea of making a painting based off of the twenty
twenty five McDonald's Monopoly contest. Yeah, which every time they
do one of these, I participate. I usually get the
little bored I collect the little pieces, I get lunch
for a few days. I never win anything, but I
get close, usually super close, or you win a bunch
(49:16):
of food prizes. And so for two weeks straight, I
pretty much stopped my McDonald's every day after work, and
I either grab like a drink or some days I
grabbed like a full lunch, and I would get the
stickers and I got really close. I got like four
or five prizes close, almost won on RV. Like I
was like having a lot of fun, but I spent
a lot more than I intended to, because like in
(49:37):
the McDonald's app, you can get pretty good deals. You
can if you're going there just for like one thing,
you can get like four things for the price of one.
But none of those deals count when you're playing Monopoly,
because you have to pay full price and you have
to specifically order them through the app, and so on
the very last day of the contest. I was like,
maybe I can win that one last piece. It's the
last day. I went to McDonald's. I ordered like twenty
(49:58):
five dollars worth of just like them stuff and none
of the food had stickers on him. And the guy
comes out to my car and I was like, oh,
I think he gave me the wrong food. This one
doesn't have the stickers on him. And he's like, oh,
we ran out, like we've gone through our whole inventory.
And I was like, well, there's still one more day
of the contest and he was like, yeah, we just
we blew through it. All that's left or the large fry,
(50:18):
it's the only one that has the thing left. And
I was like, well, can I have a large fry?
Speaker 3 (50:22):
And he was like no, Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (50:24):
And I was like boiling because I had just spent
all this money and to play this game one last time,
and I knew I wasn't gonna I was already gonna
like have be out of money for not winning anything,
and now I'm spending even more. So we go back
and forth for a little bit, and long story short,
he reaches into his apron pocket, his dirty, greasy apron pocket,
and he hands me a handful of these peeled stickers
(50:47):
for pieces I already had that weren't worth anything. And
I was like, he was like, here, you can have these,
and I looked at him and I'm like, you still
have a bitch. I'm like, you guys are out of
inventory because you guys all the employees were in the
back scratching and pulling, peeling these things instead of selling
them to the customers. If you read the rules on
the monopoly contest, the employees can't play the McDonald's monopoly.
(51:11):
Well it's only for customers. So you're you're peeling and
if you had won something, you wouldn't have been able
to claim it. They wouldn't have given it to you,
and you would be you would have to you would
probably star have to pay the taxes on the prize. Yeah,
So I'm like, I'm like, what are you guys doing.
So he hands me these stickers and I'm like, okay, well,
I'll put them in the rewards thing anyway, because you
get points and then you can you get free stuff.
So I take these used peeled stickers and I on
(51:34):
that last day, I you know, washed my hands and
redeemed what I could, but I was just like so
grossed out and so like offended because they're like, you
take a place like McDonald's which is profiting off of this, right,
like everybody gets one prize away from winning, and so
they sell more and more food because people get their
gambling glasses on and they can't stop. And now you
(51:55):
have the employees playing too for a prize they can't win,
so you're you're just taking money out of their paychecks.
They're taking, they're taking they get paid on Friday and
over the weekend, they're buying fifty dollars worth of food
that goes right back into the cash register to play
a game they can't win, and the cycle just continues,
like corporate and profiting, right.
Speaker 3 (52:14):
Unless they're just taking the stickers, or.
Speaker 4 (52:17):
That even worse if they're stacking the stickers, which you
still can't claim. Yeah, but now the customers, we're spending
an arm and a leg in an economic downturn, right
with the government shut down, and like our money's sparse.
Now you're giving me I paid for fifty or twenty
(52:39):
two dollars worth of whatever fries with the monopoly sticker,
and they don't have the sticker because he has ran out. Like, so,
I don't know where the political message is, but I
got a great idea for a painting. Take that canvas
with a tear in it. It looks just like the
sticker peel, and we'll paint the sticker and we'll change
the words on it where it says you won fries
(53:01):
or you won Pennsylvania Avenue, and we'll.
Speaker 3 (53:03):
Just swap it out to Pennsylvania Avenue.
Speaker 4 (53:06):
Yeah, because they're Monopoly game pieces.
Speaker 3 (53:08):
Oh and we'll just swap in a whole ass street.
Speaker 4 (53:12):
If you collect the three streets, you get the RV
or whatever. So it's like we'll just paint something. We'll
paint the words different and then we'll do like we'll
make like a scary background and it'll be like a
corporate green painting and it'll be part of our little
political series we're doing. I think it's kind of cute.
So that's where we're at with that.
Speaker 3 (53:31):
And I can post these political paintings. I've just been
a little nervous too with you know. But if you
want to follow me, I have a lot of art
on Instagram, LCC Artistry a Z Yeah.
Speaker 4 (53:45):
Yeah, if you know anybody that one'd like to buy one,
of Leonora's pieces. That's something that either something that Laraty
exists or something that she can conjure up. You give
her the vibe, give her the idea and let her
do her mass her work, or you want something super
custom like me, depending on what you're looking for, depending
on the size, hire Leonora. She can make you a
(54:07):
tiny little office painting like part of our political series.
Are these little tiny canvases that aren't that big. Or
you can have a piece of wal Art, whatever you're
in the mood for. I think you should hire Leonora
because I think her paintings are worth tons of money,
and I think it'd be a good investment into into
her vision and it would be great portfolio work for her.
So if you need a painting, or if your family
needs a pain orf, your friends need a painting, or
(54:29):
your vet clinic needs a painting, whatever it might be.
Speaker 3 (54:33):
I just need to get more followers on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (54:35):
That was my goal here follow her on the LCC
artistry asy m h in Instagram. She wants to do
a painting for a Biscuits cafe right next to our apartment.
I think it's great because they have a bunch of
like random stock art paintings from Bobby Lobi.
Speaker 3 (54:47):
Yeah, they're all horses.
Speaker 4 (54:49):
Like, you can paint a better horse. That's what they want,
Then let's give her. Let's give them a real horse,
you know, mm hmm, not the Getty Images horse. So
we'll definitely share the McDonald's one, and you guys will
be in on the messaging and you guys will know
what we're why we painted it, and what we were doing.
Speaker 3 (55:06):
I'll make it. I'll make a real leaf suggestions.
Speaker 4 (55:08):
It'll be an insider podcast. When we make the post,
you guys will know because you heard us tell the story.
And if you played McDonald's Monopoly this year, did you
get close to winning? Did you win something? I know
they gave away like thousands of turntables that was like
the baseline price turntables, Like yeah for players, Oh okay,
the real kind like the one I have. I'm like,
(55:30):
that's a good prize. And then they like the grand
prize was like fifty thousand dollars trip and RV. And
I saw the girl who won the RV. She posted
on Reddit and she was like, guys, I won. Everybody
were at part three of our political series Gambling, Yes,
I love it. So yeah, that's basically the gist of
(55:51):
life right now. We're in the holiday season now, have
a great Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (55:58):
When's our next one? Is it not till next year?
Speaker 4 (56:01):
We're gonna do one right before Halloween, And then they
had us they had tous switch it to Rorie November.
So maybe one more in twenty twenty five, maybe the
beginning of twenty twenty six. And we have big plans
for twenty twenty six it.
Speaker 3 (56:15):
Too, so we're going on a trip into twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (56:19):
I'm hoping that, yes, we should do one in New
York with Claire and Carlos.
Speaker 3 (56:23):
Oh my god, that would be so much. That would
be so te. They love doing podcasts.
Speaker 5 (56:27):
Oh my god, that'd be so good.
Speaker 4 (56:29):
We could probably do an extended episode with them too,
because they could keep the conversation going.
Speaker 3 (56:32):
No literally can.
Speaker 4 (56:34):
So if that's what you would like, If you would
like an extended New Year's special of Couple's Therapy featuring
me and Leonora and her aunt and uncle who are
Marvel writers, right.
Speaker 3 (56:44):
One of them is the other one's a dark fantasy
novel writer but won an award for it.
Speaker 4 (56:49):
Still amazing live in the city with like ambulance noises
in the background. It'd be fun. Little asmr the Bronx
in Queens.
Speaker 3 (56:59):
Oh, it's in Queen's ship. I keep mixing up the suburbs,
the burroughs, the burrows, whatever they're called suburbs.
Speaker 4 (57:06):
You'll be in New York by the end of this one.
I'll be in New York. Carl, get out of my way.
At least we're not from New Jersey, I know, right.
Crawl back into the Sewitch pipe you call the Holland Tunnel.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
