In episode 5, we (mainly Jay) talked thru a day in our modern, adult lives. But what about the simpler times? When the ice cream man reigned supreme and a dollar from the tooth fairy felt f'n huuuge!

This week, let's take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane — from first jobs that barely covered gas money ... to dial-up internet and actually calling someone’s house to talk!? Even though answering the landline would kick your family off AOL. Tough choice, man.

Special cameos from Ryan’s brother Kevin AND sister-in-law Ali Fedotowsky! They go in on the going rate for a lost tooth in '25. Spoiler: not spare change!

From fax machines to FaceTime, it’s a hilarious ride through how much times and tech have changed — even though we haven't. Or have we?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
In the nineties, the internet made noise, Our phones had
chords and no one knew where we were.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Now our phones track us, judge us, and notify our
friends when we've read their text and didn't respond back.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Then we rode in the back of trucks. Now my
kid needs a helmet to walk to the fridge.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Times have changed. We used to get grounded. Now we
just beg to stay home.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Let's say it anyway, Ryan Jay, Hey, Hey, how you
doing good. So I don't know if it was a
last episode or the one before, but we talked about
You mentioned something about I want to talk about the
jobs we've had. Right you talked about you kind of
revealed something no one has ever known. You said you've
walked dogs at one point.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
When I moved to LA and no one would call
me back. Oh wow, Just to keep, just to keep
a little, just to pay the cell phone bill.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
That's amazing. So just the cell phone, that's what you needed,
just in case the guy called the job I needed service.
You know, this guy's go to college. Didn't pay this
bill just in case, because I'd already give them a
different number or a burden phone. That's hilarious. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Okay, So wait, I cause I assumed you just worked
in RADI he's like, oh, that's my lifelong and you're
just working at radio since you were like a toddler.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
So yeah, any other jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yes, Well, as I've previously mentioned, which I can't believe
I'm saying again, I had paper routes. Okay, but that
doesn't even count as a job, although it does.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Was that your first job?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yes? But then I wrote for newspapers. I wrote when
I was like in high school. I was writing. I
would go to work Jay and sit next to like
fifty year old men writing sports, like smoking cigars, and
I was like, fourteen.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
That's so funny.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
But I was a decent writer as a kid.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
They hired me.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
What did you write?

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Like what I would write a sports columns? Yeah, things
of that nature.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
So that's fourteen.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh yeah, fourteen fifteen Okay, Yeah, I don't even know
there's child labor laws or something, but it is Indiana.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Back then.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
They don't get they didn't care. Yeah, nothing really matter
thirty years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
You're fine.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, I don't even think there were labor laws thirty
years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Probably not. No, I worked at a bank. My dad
was the vice president of a bank, and I worked
as a teller.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
You did, so, did I? Yeah, I'll tell you that one.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
That's how my mom and dad met my my Maybe
they don't want me telling the story, but my dad
was my mom's bosh. She was a and uh oh
they met at the bank.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
That's so cool.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Do you ever make out in an atm? In an atm,
you know, like the drive up ones? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so they're.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, you send that thing and it goes sucks something that's.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
The drive through. Yeah, drive up ATMs, like the big
boxy ones that you drive up to in your car. No,
I still have those anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
I don't go to I don't never go to an
atm anymore. But the ones I see now are always
at the front of the bank where you walk up,
you do your stuff, and you leave. This is different than.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
There used to be standalone boxes. And so when the
tellers would go fill the atm, yeah, cash, you'd have
to go in pairs, and there was a girl at
a crush on and so we would use that to
make out in the atm.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Oh my god, that's so cute. Yeah, I love it.
That's great.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's weird. I mean, that's the weirdest.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
That's weird, Okay, I mean it's a little unprofessional, sure,
but like I think, I think that's funny.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Banks. Let's see then, uh, in college, I did a
job at this place called JDA. I don't even know
what it was. I don't even know, but I basically
ran like a mail machine, like a mass mailing machine.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
For okay, for the postal like postal mail. I'm sorry
to know what mail m a I l not excellent,
excellent choice, really glad. It wasn't what I was like,
go ahead, continue, yep, yep, Sorry.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
My mind's in the gutter. Like I don't even know
what it was. It was a mail machine. I was like,
tell me more about that. I don't even know what
that is either.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
What is that?

Speaker 3 (03:18):
I want to work at that mail machine? That sounds delightful?
You're okay, so this is a you're sending mail letter thing?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Okay, yeah, which sucked. It was like basically, I mean
it was. I mean, I was I was in college
who had a lot of energy. But even then I
was just like how many people, you know, they'd be.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Like, how many males are there? In the machine. I'm
just kidding to any mail, it's just too much, especially
for a young kid. That's awful, dumb, okay.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
And then yeah, I worked in various different radio jobs.
There was one break in radio and I did some
graphic design. I sent you that. Actually, if anyone listening,
I did this.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
I showed this to Clark and he was dying.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Really it's so good. Okay.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
But then you know, what I realized is that you
were sending them to me, and they all have such
great names, and you didn't send me the names with
the pictures.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
So I was trying to remember what you told me.
Did No, you did with.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
One, so you need to text me with the names,
because I was like, yeah, the names are so great,
so anyway, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
So basically I taught myself photoshop. Okay, so I'm pretty
skilled in graphic design. But that's also something I will say.
There's a lot of jobs that people have in that
field that you don't want people to know about, because
you know what happens when people find out you're good
at that, they ask you.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
To do oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
So it's that a friend was a graphic designer and
I bothered them all the time.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Of course, Hey can you mock this up for me?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Can you? Like?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
It's nothing, like, can you do that? Like it's not
their job, right, it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
They just do it for volunteer work. Yeah people, yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Right yeah, no one and very few career Like if
you had a friend that's a chef, you wouldn't be like, hey,
can you make me dinner?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, you'd pay it. Yeah no, no, you're.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Right, you'd ask to pay them. But graphic design, for
some reason, they just get They just get abused. Yeah, yeah,
so I did that anyway, Getting back to this, so
I taught myself by by creating this concept of taking
two celebrity names that kind of it's like a like
a before and after. They kind of overlap in some way, like.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
The name sounds similar enough that you could push them
together so like them.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I'll give you an example. And if people may have
seen this, because I had two two creations that went
highly viral, uh, Zoe Dave Chappelle instead of Zoe Deschanel,
Google Zoe Dave Chappelle. I created that. And then you
know Maclamore the Rapper, yes, and Morgan Freeman yes. Of course,
what are they combined maclam Morgan Freeman, Google it.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Stupidous.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
There's that one looked really good though, Like I was like,
that's like a cool looking dude, but.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Like a normal person. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Ones do not look like no no, no no, but
they're hilarious to look at.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Thank you. There's a lot of them.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
It messes with your brain.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah, you're like trying to find out the parts of
like which who's the gay?

Speaker 3 (06:09):
I see that, but I also see this and why
is it?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, there's a lot.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
There was another one I sent you Slash, you know,
the guitar player from Guns and Roses and Ashley Olsen
Slash Slee Olsen was pretty douce.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Had I think that's the one you sent me the
name on and the rest of them, I didn't have
a name, okay, because I remember Car's going like I
had one eye clothes any but his hand over like
the person's mouth, like trying to figure out who what'sally funny?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Good?

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah that's good. Yeah, that's that's it. And then yeah,
just radio stuff here and there, uh, not here and there, actually.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
All of here and there. You're just dabbling in radio
to this day, just dabbling it for twelve hours a
day running a number one morning show in Los Angeles,
Southern California. How was it dabbling? Going, Yeah, just give
my toes. We just dusting the waters. Maybe I'll make
a thing of this. I don't know your career path.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
What was your first job.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
My first job was babysitting for two kids. I remember
I was pretty young. I think it was like, I
think it was like twelve or thirteen. Oh wow, yeah,
I would definitely not have left a baby with no
I was super responsible. I was twelve or thirteen and
I was babysitting at my friend's kid. And then, god,

(07:22):
I really got to think back then years later, that
same friend was the branch manager at a bank. Okay,
and I became teller, and then I became head teller,
and I became a commercial loan administrator.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
I failed miserably at that, and they put me back down.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Oh you got demoted.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
I did. I did.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Here's the thing, guys, I have this thing where like
I have to be the best at everything that I'm doing. Like,
not even that I think I'm the best. I need
to hear somebody be like, oh my god, you're great
at this you're doing great at whatever. This goes back
to that whole like complimenting me being my love language bit,
which is so true. And so I was working at
the bank and they I love and I was I'm
good with people. Obviously I'm a talker, So like putting

(08:03):
me in the bank where I could talk to like
customers and stuff was the best thing. Aially, they had
lines like just no people were just there there.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
There would be people that would go all, wait for Janine.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
I was saying the other way around what people just
come in on their lunch break hoping to make a
quick deposit. There's forty seven people ahead of you because
you can't stop talking to.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh yeah yeah, yeah, sure, sure that would happen too.
But like.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
But but like I had certain because I also worked
at a bank in a small town in upstate New York.
There was only seven branches, like seven right branches, so
everyone like it was a community bank, so you knew
the people, you knew the business owners, you knew. It
wasn't like Chase or you know what I mean. Yeah,
it's where you're just like a number and no one
knows who you are. So I knew everyone, and it's
actually funny that that bank is where a lot of

(08:46):
the stories I've already told have come from. So do
you remember this story I told you about the guy
that I dated that was sick all weekend?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Oh the big baby.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yes, that was my branch manager's son.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Then remember the power equipment job I said I had
I do. Okay, that was one of our customers.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yep. Pill girl was at the bank too.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
And yep.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
And she came in, the owner of Hudson Valley Power
Equipment and I was doing her deposit and she was like,
you know, I want you to work for me. And
I was like okay, what and so you know that
was that was the thing. And so at first I
was like no, no, no, because I'm also like super loyal,
like I won't. I was like no, I like my job.
I loved working at the bank, and I love numbers
and math, so it was just perfect for me. I
was like, I talk to people, I did my number though,

(09:23):
this is great. It was like so, but then she
eventually poached me. I was like, okay, fine, yeah, wow
did she sweeten the pot?

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Was she? It was just like more money?

Speaker 2 (09:31):
And did she give me a number? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
I was just like, I think, like material girls playing
in the background, and I was like, Okay, I gotta go,
I gotta go, like I was just in it and
so so yeah, so it was like the soundtrip. I
was just like perfect. It's like a perfect storm of
like I hear this and I like nice things. And
also she's like, hey, really nice lady.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
She was not a nice lady. Once I started working
for it was awful.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Oh it turned awful.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
That was my first introduction to working for someone who
was very mean to me that I stayed with for
longer than I should have.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Which is a story for another time, because I have
a tendency to do that. So so yeah, so she
hired me. I worked there for a while, then I
got in the car accident. Then right next door was
a physical therapy place, and I left her to work
the physical therapy place because of that whole story.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Right yep.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
And that's when I moved to.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
California and I started working at a consulting company. They
have They had an annual convention which I sold tickets
for and like registered people for, and then I was
there for a while and then one of my really
close friends at work there came up to me. I
was like, hey, there's a friend that's like know, someone

(10:37):
that's looking for a personal assistant. And I was like cool, story,
like I'm in my cubicle, live my life. And he's like, no, no, no,
you should go interview for it. And I was like,
I was like, part time, can I like do that
in this like I was outside of my my zone
that I would have to leave my job to do
this other thing. And he's like no, no, no, you would
just do that. And I go, I'm not gonna what
do you mean I love it here and he's like.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
He's like yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
He's like but you know you're because he was married
and he had a dog. So this is why that's
important is he was like, you should go do this
because you're not married, you have no pets, like, you're
no kids. Like it's like yes, like I could go travel.
I don't have anyone to answer to, like this this
is what you should do. And I was like, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
I think I was.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Like twenty two, twenty three, twenty three, I think, And
so I was like fine. I was curious because he
wouldn't tell me who it was for. So I went
on the interview, which was not who it was for still,
and I went through all these different things and I
ended up working for the person. I'm not gonna say
who it was, but it was an people who know
me know who it was, and it was very, very famous.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
You can't say who it was honestly, and we haven't
had this conversation.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Well, maybe I'll mention it another time. Okay, it's okay,
it's a she and she's a national superstar.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
I come, yeah, Yeah, it was cool.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
It was a good time. I traveled the world and
I had never done anything like that before. And she
interviewed sixteen people, so I thought I was just going
to be like a meet and greet because I had
heard she's huge on experience.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
I had none.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, and but one good thing I'm very good at
is talking, and I sold myself and she picked me
out of the sixteen people.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
I think one of the people she interviewed was a
personal assistant for like Janet Jackson and Oprah like like.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
So I was like, O'm screwed. There's no way, I
don't even know you. And I kind of thought.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Where the interview was was it was it It was
at her home and her it wasn't on the blocker
on the sixth You're.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Such an asshole. No, it was not. It's not okay.
So I got the job.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I worked in that job for not long because there
was at the time two assistants, one for her and
her husband, and then three weeks after I started, the
other assistant quit and I became the assistant to both
of them. And you know, most most celebrities, as they
should be, are very private people. So when they find
someone they like, they try to hang on to only

(12:50):
them so they don't have to continue to share all
the personal ended to type stuff with other people. And
so I became that person and they were like, we
just want you to do all of this, and I
was like, okay, I mean that's a temporary gig. I'm
going to burn out at some point. I did because
I was working like eighteen hours. It was wild, but
it was really fun. I got to go on a

(13:11):
couple of tours. I got to be in Vegas for
a while at a residency there. I always stayed in
the second nicest room of every hotel because I was
right next to wherever they were and they were in
the nicest room. Yeah, and I got to see all
kinds of places in the world that I made a
little bit of a bucket list for myself of like,
because you know, I can't go out and explore the city,
like you know, I'm going to go shopping, be back
like I was pretty pretty, you know, tied to to

(13:34):
tethered to wherever they were. So I made a list
of like all the places I'd like to go back
and visit when I can actually experience that city, you know.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
And and that was fun.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Haven't Did they ever take you to Greece?

Speaker 3 (13:46):
No, I never got to go to Greece.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
I was definitely not quiet and I left the kitchen offense,
so that was probably why I didn't get to go
to Greece.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
But that's the ultimate callback. Is it an episode one? Callback?

Speaker 3 (13:58):
It is?

Speaker 2 (13:59):
It is?

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Is it one or two? And this is six? That
was pretty it's pretty bad. So so yeah, I I
got to I got to see all kinds of places,
not Greece, but like Portugal, Spain, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, France, Russia.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
My passport in a year, my passport was completely filled.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
That's awesome. It was.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
It was amazing so but also crazy like we would
fly and we always flow flew private. We would fly
to you know, we flew to France once and it
was too for her to perform one song.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
And then we get back on the plane and we
come home.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
That's wild.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
So I remember something very interesting.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
You know, we're in France.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
I just remember it was it was southern France. It
might have been Nice.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Okay, okay, thank god you said I went to Uh
this is a total detour and I'm so sorry. I
don't want you to forget your place. I was in
Nice and that was the first time I ever went
to a nude beach.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
I didn't make it that far off the plane to
go to the nude and I wouldn't have been able
to any But my.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Point of even bringing that up is that whatever thoughts
people have about have you ever been to a nude beach.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
I have. Well, I've been to a topless beach once.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Okay, it's not as good as one would think, thank you.
That was my point.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
It's like we're all of the really so awful.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Look, you hear this stuff too, about like people that
live at like nudest colonies and stuff.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
You're like I think you're going to walk into like
just like a GQ Supermodel Sports illustrated moment of just bliss.
And you get there and it is just every person
who's ever resided in like a trailer park, dabbled in
crack and maybe really doesn't shower every day, you know
what I mean. Those are the people that go and

(15:47):
they're like, we could just be free birds. And I
think it's because they can't afford bathing suits.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
I don't think it's oh my god, just kidding, this
is awful. No, but it's not great.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
It's not visually great, and you're like, oh, okay, but
it's good for not feeling bad about yourself great.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
You're like, ah, I'm good.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's like watching the show Cops. You want to talk
about a mood booster. You watch thirty minutes of Cops.
You're like, I'm doing great.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Okay, it's not so bad. Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
You want to feel good about your your your private parts,
go to a newdist beach for sure.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Anyway, So back to the story. So, yeah, so I
traveled a lot.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Fine, then I left that job and I was an
assistant for someone else who didn't like to travel, and
that was cool because I was like at that point,
I was like so burnt out on traveling. I was like, okay,
great and I and the thing is like and so
whatever that next job was a why that was a
longer a longer.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Stint for me.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
It was pretty brutal because I wasn't treated very kindly
by my boss. But whatever got through that, And that's
where I met Clark. And he can attest to the
fact that I'd come home crying very often from work.
But but then I realized after that, I was like,
you know, geez, I don't being an assistant is not

(17:04):
the job for me. Like right, I am very loud,
I'm very talkative. I'm not like hands folded between my
legs person like tail between my legs person of like, yeah,
my hands wouldn't between my legs tail.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
I'm sorry, let me.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Okay, okay, what are they?

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Heaven you do?

Speaker 1 (17:22):
No, I meant to say, so, No, I was not
a hands folded tail between my legs type person. That's
what I meant to say, and so so jesus. So anyway, yeah,
so I I I'm loud, and I'm you know whatever,

(17:44):
and I'm and I'm not and that's Actually, I didn't
really know that I wanted to do like comedy or
be like in you know, in people's faces like that
until the end of that job. And so then I
was like, shit, I almost felt bad having that job
because I was like, I don't like I'm always backstage
or I'm holding.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
One or I'm going to craft services to get it.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
I'm like, oh my god, like, this is not Or
I'd hear them doing a show and telling a joke
and I'm like, would be so much funny if they
would have said, you know, and I'm like, what am
I doing? This is not like And so I was like,
I got to this is not for me, right, So
I left that mostly because it was a toxic environment,
but then kind of at the same time was realizing
that I wanted to be on the other side of
the camera and this is not going to work for meep.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
So I left that.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
I then I started doing stand up comedy, which is
not was not a job for me. I actually ended
up going back to the consulting company because they called
and needed my help. So the guy who told me
I should go be a personal assistant was still working
there and he was like, Jay, look I really want
to go pursue this production goal that I have working

(18:44):
in production. Could you come and like take over my job?
And I was like, well, what if I want to
do it for like a year, I might want to
have a family and then I'll be home. And because
I had kind of decided I wasn't going to work
if I was a mom, I was going to stay
home with my kids at that point, because I was
delusional and I didn't think that, you know, I could
maintain the standard of living that we have if we
both weren't working. Doesn't matter anyway. So at that time,

(19:04):
I was like, yeah, I'm just gonna be a stay
at home mom. It's be gribbs, like nineteen fifteen. I
was gonna be in the kitchen. Maybe we'll go to grease, just.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Joking, and then we didn't. It's fine.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
And then and then I was like, yeah, I'll come
help you out, like go pursue your goals. And so
I realized as I'm saying this, I'm just realizing how
many sacrifices I made for someone else to pursue their
goals and I haven't. But I'm doing that now, So
that's great anyway. So yeah, so I took that job
over for him.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
I stayed there for I'd say a year and a half,
and then I met my most recent former boss who
became a very close friend of mine.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Wonderful guy. He owned a cosmetic dental office in Beverly Hills.
He was an entrepreneur and owns I can't even list
the amount of companies he owns. And I became like
I'd handle all of his finances and stuff. And then
that broke off into him teaming up with my husband
and our best end and they started their own production company.
And I've handled all of the finances for all of

(20:03):
that stuff and continued to just do my stuff on
social media, my comedy outlet there, and then you know,
here I am. We're doing this now. That's kind of
my I love it, tire Track.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
I don't want to pile on because I know you
do have a lot on has a lot going on. Yeah,
this is just a quick sidebar. But Darlene asked me
when you're gonna make bread again?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, it's her and to other people, but also they
were like, hey, so like only two, I feel like
a lot more people want Maybe I don't know, but
you know what it is a lot more people want it.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
They don't want to say it.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
They don't want to say it. It's because it's rude.
So you're not rude. I'm sorry, but she asked me.
She didn't ask you plainting.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah, no, totally. And I thought about it.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Actually this morning I had gone into the fridge for
something and I saw fucking goots just staring at me
from the back. Is what happens with clea staying that.
You know the jars that you guys have seen on
my stories where it's like there's like it's like liquid
dough right like in the jar it stays and it
has the date on it, and it stays in the refrigerator,
sealed shot in the mason jar you usually have. People

(21:01):
will go, oh, you have to like feed them once
a week where you have to take it.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
That's not true. You can go like three or four.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Week.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Some people say like two months.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
So the other day I was like, I got to
get this started again, Like people want their bread, you know,
and also it's yummy, and I don't want to not
do that because if we're just being full honesty, nest
of honesty, of honesty that I made up, you I
have not made a loaf of bread since we started
this podcast.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Oh okay, so I went.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
I looked at that and I was like, oh, it's interesting,
Like I think that that was like a creative outlet
for me. And I got replaced by something I much
rather do, and I was like okay, but I was like, okay,
now I do want to make bread again.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Everyone misses the bread. I missed the bread. It was fun.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
It's it's a good delicious I mean that's what I'm saying, Like,
it's it's yummy, right, Like I should do that. You
need sour dough in it. Yeah, so I and this
is my first experience with sour dough. I was not
like I was an avid sourdough eater prior to baking it.
So now I was like, okay, I got to get
my head back in the game. A couple weeks ago,
I took one out and like was like, okay, I'm

(22:04):
gonna do this and I and I missed the rise
and then I had to start over. And then I
couldn't because you have to kind of time this out
where you have a few days to work on it,
because when it's warm out the rise happens. Really fast,
like it could take six hours when it's warm out
takes two. And I didn't I didn't know, and I
missed it. So yeah, so I put it away and
I'm gonna I'm gonna get back to it, but I'm
going out of town. So when I come back, I

(22:24):
want to tell you too, just one last note on
this hour to think and then there's other things we
should discuss. But I uh, when I was in your
kitchen the other day, yep, by the way, thank you
and your husband for having me over in the hospitality.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
It was fun. Really, it is just yeah, you met me,
you met my mom, met me and me. She's a
lot whoa Linda's.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Character right, like straight off the screen. I mean, just
one believable.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
And she's fully color coordinated, right, it's something she's She's wonderful.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yeah. I don't even where I was going. Oh yeah, yeah.
When I saw your kitchen in person for the first time,
I felt like I was visiting the Friends set. I
was like, this is where, this is where it all,
this is it. It felt very I don't know.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
It's just that's so funny.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
I can use it.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
He you actually commented on it. You were like wait
is this where all the Sara Doo stuff happens. I
was like, yeah, and you had it, like you said,
you had it reversed in your mind.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Because when you shoot the videos, it's the kitchen layout
is backwards.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
So I but it was cool.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Like this is where all the sarado imagine Captain was
making like pasta salad instead or something.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
And I was like, yep, this is this is where
it happens.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah, going back to like old older things though, and
something stayed with me. You know, I think I don't
know what episode it was, but you said you didn't
have an iPhone when you moved here. You still had
a flip phone. Yep. Do you remember the kind of
did you ever have a BlackBerry?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
I had a BlackBerry all throughout my personal assistant day
you did with this wheel on the side and thats
on that wheel That ball sucked.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
I know once it would start to go, it was
so much better and click and like not roll the
way it used to.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
I had a Nokia flip phone when I was young.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
I had a razor. Any razors were not made well
they were not. I don't remember the other kinds of
phones I had, But I remember back when you had
to like, you know, you had to hit the button
to get the letter to.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Text T nine. Yes, yes, isn't that what they called it?

Speaker 3 (24:13):
I think it is what they call it.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah, you would, so if you wanted like the letter S,
you'd have to hit you know, whatever the.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Hell pqrs four times? Yeah? Yeah, And do you know that?

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Oh my god. I worked at a like a so
it was like a one off store. They didn't have
a chain because it was a small town. It was
called Thruway and you could it was one of those
places where I guess it would be like a I
don't know, like a dumbed down like a white trash version,
a white trash version of Walmart, if you can imagine, okay, yes,
imagine awful. And I worked there and I worked selling.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Pagers, pagers, and I had the Sea Through Blue page.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Oh my god, with the chain and the whole thing
I had. I had Jenko's. I used to wear Jenkos.
I was that girl. I had one of those big
with like an Adidas jersey. You know I'm talking about
you know, I'm talking about like they do this with
the fucking thing dress like like you're in the band
corn one hundred percent. I had the silver ball necklace.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, me too, And and your Jenko's I'm guessing they
were black and they had the white stitching.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
I never had black really. I don't like black jeans.
Oh I had the black ones. I had luge pockets.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Was so great.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah. And then did you have the studded belt, Yeah, yep.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
I had that.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
I don't know if this was a thing. It was
a thing where I live, though. That goes with that
whole outfit. I had a like an Indian bag, do
you know what I'm talking like? It was God, I
wish I could find a picture of it. It was
like a long it was. It was a rectangular shaped bag.
It had a it had a strap on it, and
it was like.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Almost like tapestry. Oh okay, you know what I mean.
It was a very nineties thing.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, I had that. I want Native American by the way. Okay,
there was a Christmas so okay, So in my house,
I my mom would do this thing and she still
does this crushal shop with like raws and ship you
know where she'll buy the knockoff version of something. And
I every Christmas would want one nice thing, like I

(26:05):
wanted Doc Martin's and she would get me like the
fake Doc Martins, and I'm like, okay, I wanted the
real Doc Martins, which I literally, I think in my
thirties bought my first pair of actual and I was like,
this is so great, like no one's gonna tell me, okay,
and I got like two pairs or whatever, you know.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
What I mean.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
I went nuts and so so I wanted this Ralph
Lauren Polo sport like messenger bag so bad, and I
wanted it in this like powder blue color.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
And my cousin, who's a.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Year in difference in age to me, Vanessa would always
get like the thing, like she'd always get the one thing,
the name brand thing like she had docs she had,
she got the thing. So one Christmas and this was
like this was totally like a Red Rider bb Gun
moment for me. I open up all my gifts and
I open up the whatever you know version of the

(26:54):
Ralph Lauren Poles. I'm like and I would never say
I would be like, oh my god, Mom, thank you
so much or Sanna or whatever you know.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
I was super into it and I was grateful, but
then it was the end and we were all done
and we were cleaning up the wrapp Also, my mom's
not like, go not to let the wrapping paper go everywhere,
which I do with my kids because I'm like, it's
Christmas morning, like have a good time. She's like, give it,
hand me me your paper with the garbage back as
you're opening it.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
I'm like, okay, So she goes, oh, there's still something.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Back before she's doing it. She's doing it, and I'm like, oh.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
And my mom had this really cool tradition with me
and my sister that I started with my kids where
we would go to the store and we would pick
out our wrapping paper and we would put our Christmas list.
We would roll them up and put them inside the paper,
you know, like the in the hole of the tube,
and we would put them by the front door. And
the next day they would be gone. And then when
Christmas morning came, whatever gifts were in your paper or

(27:47):
from Sanna, oh my god. So they weren't labeled, that's
just neew your paper standing. Is that a great idea?

Speaker 3 (27:52):
So nowadays they have this elf on the shelf shit,
which is a goddamn nightmare.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Okay, And so my brother and they got I think
they have two l's.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah, so do we, because you have to have one
for each kid. It's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, they might even have a third op oh Christ.
So so what I do now is same exact thing.
But then when the paper's gone the next day, that's
when the elf shows up, because it's like the elf came,
took the paper to sand it and brought and so
because you have to figure out a way how does
the elf show up? So that was my way of
incorporating the elf and my own tradition, and my mom
did with me. So it's really fun anyway, it doesn't matter.
So I see my paper, I see this box.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yeah, like, oh my god, what is it? It looks
like a big shoe box, you know.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
So I take it and I open it up and
I take and it's covered with tissue paper.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
You don't have to whisper you're at you're doing this
like you're like it's happening.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
In the.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
No. It's funny on the radio when people call us
at work and they're quiet at work, like trying to
hide that they're on the phone at work, and they whisper,
we ellen and I find ourselves like going into that
with you.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
Yeah, yeah, we don't have to go and then what happened?
Yeah yeah, so okay, fine, So I'm opening it up
and there's no okay. So then there's tissue paper and
I take the tissue paper back and it's just looking
up at me with the flap and it says with
the flag and it says Ralph Lauren pulls for it's
the bag. It's the bag.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
And I almost didn't want to use it because it
was so beautiful. And do you know I must have
been how old was I? Twelve or thirteen? I kept
that bag. I moved here with that bag. Really, I
get rid of the bag till I was like twenty
five or twenty six.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Why'd you end up getting rid of it?

Speaker 3 (29:17):
It was so trash.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Just I use that thing till it's you know, And
I didn't even use it as an adult, but it
was like that was my item. I wanted so bad
and it was so special to me. But yeah, they
had all kind of I went off the rails here.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
No you didn't, it's fine, but I want to talk
about these things that we wanted, so do you okay?
That was like that was an item, right, do you
remember like the you know whatever, when you started wanting
certain toys or things like what was the hot toy
of one of your Christmases that you wanted? Do you
remember or was it not?

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Teddy rxman?

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Jay? What that's mine? Really?

Speaker 3 (29:49):
How the past?

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Wait?

Speaker 3 (29:53):
I like almost cried when I got one? What are
you doing? Do you have one? Here?

Speaker 1 (29:57):
No?

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Way?

Speaker 3 (29:58):
What's happening? He's he's digging a around behind them?

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (30:02):
It's a ten year rocksman having to cry?

Speaker 2 (30:04):
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Why is it still in the box?

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Okay, I'm going to tell you it's not the ridge.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Okay, yeah, it looks a little different.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Do you want to see?

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Is your Pierce? And I'm just joking. I'm just getting okay, No,
don't open it.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
I know I'm not.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
How weird? Is this? Though? So crazy?

Speaker 3 (30:23):
That was your toy too?

Speaker 2 (30:24):
It was? But here's what happened. And this is why
I have this because I've told this, I've shared this
story on the air that was this the Christmas? The
season that it was like you couldn't find them? Right?
My mom had her sister travel somewhere like in I
don't know, Southern Indiana to see if there was a
Toys r Us that had it, so she got it
for me. Christmas morning I opened it. It was, I mean,

(30:49):
just the greatest day of my life to have Teddy Rouxs.
I just couldn't believe it. That same year, my brother Kevin,
two years younger than me, got a drum set. After
the high of Christmas wears off and I know, you
have breakfast or whatever. It's like. I remember one of
my parents saying, hey, you have you seen keV? Where's
your brother? Kevin had uh commandeered Teddy ruxman. He had

(31:14):
taken Teddy and one of the drumsticks that came with
his drum kit and gouged his eyes out. No, yeah,
this is evil on Christmas morning.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Kids are assholes on Christmas morning. Oh my god, I've
never met Kevin and.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
I I don't know I like him less. I like
him so much. No, I'm just joking. Oh my god,
did you cry so hard? It was the devastate it
went from It went from the best day of your life,
I mean, to the greatest loss of all time, of
all time? Did you get a new one? This is it?

Speaker 2 (31:52):
So I've told the story well, it's not the original, right, No,
I didn't get I didn't get another new one. No, no,
so so years and years ago Ellen felt so bad, yes,
that I lost Teddy, that she went to great lengths
to find me a new Teddy.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Oh my god, I love it.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yeah, So there it is. That's the Teddy Ruxman story. Actually,
you know what I want to talk about one more thing.
In fact, this is going to be the first for us.
I'm just gonna cold call my brother. Oh my god,
put those headphones on so you can hear him, okay,
right next to you. I want to ask him two questions,
actually just one, because I want to talk about the
tooth Fairy has lived lost?

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah, oh my god, what happened tooth Fairy story? You do?

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Let's do that before you before I call Kevin. I
wanted to because my nephew, just like last week, lost
his first tooth.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Oh no, no, no, no, let me tell you about the
tooth fair and half times have changed with the tooth Fairy.
Have no idea.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
First of all, when you know, like most people my age,
I think when I lost a tooth, you get like
a quarter. I think maybe for a front who got
a dollar? Yeah, like not whatever, And I understand that
things cost more money now, so you have to kind
of change with the times, Like, you know, a kids,
what are they going to do with a dollar?

Speaker 3 (32:54):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (32:56):
So when when my daughter started losing teeth, I would
be like, okay, here's a dollar. I think I gave
her five dollars for a front tooth, right, And then
as she got older, because she's almost done losing all
of her teeth, she's she's nine, and she lost her
teeth early, which is fine. They just said that it
doesn't matter, like she'll get her you know, her adult
teeth sooner, it doesn't matter. But she lost them a
little earlier than most kids, so I could get away

(33:19):
with all this. And at her age at the time,
she doesn't have a concept of money. She was just
excited that she got something out it, right, So it
didn't really matter if I left her. I never left
her change because I'm not you know, I understand that
the times have changed. She doesn't even know what a
quarter is, but anyway, she she does.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
I'm joking.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Anyway, My point is that one day she lost a tooth.
At the end of the day, it was nighttime, yeah,
And I don't ever have cash on Oh I really don't,
oh boy, And so I did. The only cash I
had was like twenties and I was like, oh my god,
am I going to give her twenty dollars from the
tooth Fairy?

Speaker 3 (33:50):
So I wait till she's completely sleeping.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
And now also, now you know, I used to leave
literally my tooth under my pillow.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
That's it, loose tooth, the tooth.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
I have like the root hanging from it. Just shut
it out of the pill you know what I'm saying.
I was disgusting, you know what I'm talking about when
you just yank it out too soon, too soon, you
know what I mean. So I just would just shove
it under there. You know, my mom would probably freak out,
but I didn't know because this is a tooth fair.
And so these kids now they have a f and too.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
The bottle.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
No, no, no, it's a pillow.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
It's a it's a cute little uh maybe it's about
the size of a salad plate. It is as a
white tooth plush. It has a cute little face in
the front. There's this little felt envelope with velcrow. You
open it up and put the tooth inside you close
it and I go, actually, this is great because I
don't want to shove my hand on her pillow while
she's sleeping.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
I always wondered how they help people.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
I don't know how the hell my mom did this,
and I honestly so if someone did that now to
me as an adult, I would I mean, there would
be murdered. I would grab your arms so fast and
rip it off your fucking punch you right in the throat. Dude, dot,
do not wake me up like that. It is so scary.
Like if I feel someone walking towards me while I'm
sleeping'm like, what what do you?

Speaker 3 (34:52):
What do you need? What's going on?

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Like my my daughter wants Okay, I was sleeping, I
was des she came into our room and I opened
eyes and she's just standing.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
At this and I go, what do you need?

Speaker 3 (35:03):
And she goes, I had a nightmare. I I'm scared too,
go to bed. Like I was, like, she scared the
shit out. I mean, I was not a comforting mom
in that moment at all. I was like, me too,
go to sleep. And I was like what because I
don't know. I watch a lot of scary movies too,
so just not I'm not I'm not a good person
for that.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
But anyway, so I open up this, I take the pillow,
so I go in, I take the whole pillow. I
leave the bedroom because I don't want to rip the
bell crow. And then she hears, so I'm like, I
gotta move. I gotta move to another place in the house.
So you take the pillow out. I take the tooth
fairy pillow because she just leaves it like propped up
against it. You know, it's actually great. I do love
this little this little thing. I go to the other
part of the house. I open the thing and I

(35:37):
take out a letter. Oh, I take out a letter.
Inside the letter is a tooth and it is a
letter to the tooth Fairy and asking for a picture
of the tooth Fairy. She's asking her for a photo
of her. She's going on and I don't know what's happening.
She's exchanging ideas about teeth. I don't know what we're doing, okay,
And I was not ready for this.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
So I'm like, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
So it's eleven thirty at night and this asshole, yours
truly is on f and Google Google images of a
tooth fairy okay, which I printed out a small version
of I cut it up all cute, and I put
the the Now I only have twenty dollars, so I'm like,
this bitch is gonna get twenty dollars for a tooth.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (36:16):
This is awful.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Yeah, I put the I put it in. I did it.
I put the thing.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
I give it, I put put it in there. The
next day she's like, oh my god, mom did it.
And I go, you wrote her a letter? She goes, yeah,
I go live. Just so you know, you're lucky showed
that kind of time, because and I'm trying to explain,
like this is not We're not doing this now. You know,
you got a lot more teeth left. I'm not, I said, live.
The tooth aairy is not like a penpal situation.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Okay, yeah, you guys aren't friends.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
She's this is she hasn't time for this. Sh she
has no to Oh my god, please, she has no
time for this. She gotta get the tooth. She had
to leave the money she got to go out. She says,
to shrink the tooth down because the tooth is like
the size of her. She's a fairy like, there's a
lot going on, so you just leave the tooth. You
don't need to write a letter every single time there's
a letter. One time she left her a bracelet that
she had that were like these raw pearls.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
And I take the thing as a bracelet. I go,
I said, I gonna hide a bracelet in teeth. I'm like,
what are we doing?

Speaker 1 (37:01):
So then she goes liv goes, yeah, I wanted to
give her that bracelet because it looks like teeth, and
I thought that was cute. And I was like, okay,
it's very cute. But again, this would crush her because
she's so tiny. So the bracelet, you know what I mean,
it's like throw broccoli down and pretend you're a giant.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Be like I'm in the forest, do you know what
I mean? Like, what are we doing? Like you can't,
you gotta And she's tiny, right, So she just leaves
her shit like this, and I got like, oh my god.
Then the other day she lost a tooth, just last week.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
She puts the tooth to the tooth and the next
I put we take the tooth, we put the money in.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
The next day she goes, oh my god, Mom, Okay,
how funny. This is like she left both teeth in here.
She forgot the teeth. And I look at Clark like,
you fucking what are you doing, dude, you didn't take
the goddamn teeth out. And he's like, oh, she must
have been really busy. Like it's just awful.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
There was one time it was morning and I forgot.
Oh god, Luca was a newborn and I was like
up all night and I was like breastfeeding him on
the couch and it's five am and I'm like, oh,
I didn't do the tooth, like I just I just forgotten.
And so she comes out and she's like mom, and
I'm like out and she's like the tooth fair and coming.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
I was like, oh, it's.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Still, it's still kind of nighttime. Just go back to sleep,
she'll come. And then I went in there like a
ninja smart with Luca like on a boob, one arm,
one armed him holding him onto me. I grabbed this
one hand thing and I get the pillow and then
I walked out and stopped.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
I was like, are we're gonna do this?

Speaker 1 (38:16):
And I put it and I was like this is
this is insane. So this tooth fairy thing has gotten
out of control. So so now she's made hundreds of
dollars and I was like, I didn't know. Knock my
f and teeth out, dude, Punch me in the face
as hard as you can. If this is the kind
of money we're making on thee she's made hundreds of dollars.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
He just forked over in twenty twenty five. What's a
kid making?

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Yeah, it's a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Hello, cav Hey, hi, you're here with me and Jay Hi,
Jay Hi. We're talking about how different things are from
the from the Tooth Fairy when we when we would
lose teeth, What did Riley make for his tooth?

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Well where we happened to live. Yeah, I mean it's just,
you know, gets different regionally in this area here and
then in Nashville. The kids when they lose their first tooth,
they get twenty dollars, and then I believe every tooth
thereafter would match their age. So like when Riley loses
his second tooth, I think he'll get six dollars unless

(39:17):
he loses them when he's seven. Oh wait, he is seven.
He gets I forgot his age for a second there,
but he just turned seven, so he gets seven dollars
for a second tooth. Okay, and it's funny to you
bringing this up right now, because my wife lost the
tooth last night and you want to talk to her.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Do you?

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Yeah, Allie, let's talk about this here.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
She is okay, hello, what the hell she lost her on?

Speaker 3 (39:35):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (39:36):
What happened?

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Elie?

Speaker 4 (39:37):
So we were at dinner and I was biting into
a sweet potato of all things, like the most mushy
baby food.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Type food did you think of?

Speaker 3 (39:45):
And my front like the tooth right next to my
front tooth be near popped right off, and I didn't
realize it, so I ate it.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
Oh you swallow? Oh you couldn't even salvage it.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
It's in my stomach right now.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
And I got emergency, went the dentist this morning and
get a new tooth. Okay, wow, congrats. Did the tooth
fairy bring you any money? Like forty Yeah?

Speaker 3 (40:06):
I got as much as my age, so I got
twenty one dollars.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
All right, bye, you guys. Bite.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
That's really funny. Yeah, I also know what happened to
her tooth. It wasn't the sweet potato because it worked
at the dental office. Oh yeah, what yeah, so normally,
like people with veneers, they'll create a hairline fracture in
the veneer that then later they'll eat something soft and
it will loosen enough to pop off, Like a sweet
potato is not going to do that. But what could
have done that is like if she clenches or grinds
her teeth at night and she doesn't wear a night guard,

(40:36):
usually people who have veneers should wear them every night.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
Religiously, we should have kept her on the line.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Yeah, I didn't want to turn it into a whole
dental experience, but like you'll create a hairline fracture in
your tooth and then when you go eat something soft,
it comes loose and it comes off, like we'd have
patient come in the morning.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
That was a heavy clenching.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
I was eating yogurt and my tooth. It's like, that's yogurt.
Didn't break her too, Like biting down at night, we'll
create little fractures and it'll pop off. But that was
a story for other times. Yeah, no, I liked it,
So that's that's smart. They're doing the age. Okay, Yeah,
it's still a lot more than it was when we
were kids.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Are it's a lot more it's everything's more. I mean,
I know, everything's more.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
It's just weird. What about technology in general? Like?

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Okay, so my lord, what yeah?

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Go? I remember, like you know, I remember sitting at
my huge computer and listening to the sound to connect
to the internet and doing like AOL instant messenger aim AM.
I had an aim email address. Yep, it was BELLAJG
at aim dot com.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
Okay, it was really funny.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Where did the bella come from?

Speaker 3 (41:33):
This doesn't means beautiful? And I was full of myself
I was before I got broken.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Is that what you named your cat? Bella?

Speaker 3 (41:42):
No? I don't remember why I named her.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
I thought maybe that was named o.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
No, no, no. By that time, I was fully in self
deprecation mode and I forgot about that email adress. But
I did that. I think I was hot to trot
back then. So I had that email address.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
And what a what a wild West time that was.
You'd log into you'd go into any chat room and
you didn't you didn't know who was there. And they're
asking age, sex location asl.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Yes, Yes, what a time, What a time to be?

Speaker 2 (42:07):
What a time? And parents just letting their kids just
mingle with whoever the hell you didn't. There was no
there was no identity check, there was nothing that nothing nothing.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
And then I also had, like I loved video games,
so I had every you know Nintendo, Yeah, I had
you know those like crates, those black guys Idea had.
I can't even tell how many crates filled with every
cartridge of every game. Then I'm just I mean, I remember, like,
I don't know, there was just there was so many fun,

(42:39):
amazing things. I remember going to like an arcade. I
loved an arcade. I loved bowling. I love like things
that we could do. Like I was today, I was
looking at this this real Oh my god, and this
this dad is explaining to his daughter, like when I
was a kid, it would be a punishment to be
told to stay in the house.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
And the little girl's like, what do you mean, And
he's like, it would be a punishment that you had
to stay inside, you couldn't go out. She goes, I
don't understand.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Why is that a punishment, he goes, Because we would
want to be outside. We would want to play, we
would want to ride our bikes, we would want to
go off and do whatever, And it was a punishment
to be inside.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
And he goes and.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
She's like, she's like, that doesn't sound like a punishment.
He goes, good, So what if I said to you
right now, you need to be outside for eight hours?
She's like, that's a punishment, and I'm.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
Like, what has happened?

Speaker 2 (43:24):
It's true.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
It's true because kids are so inactive and they don't want.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
To go outside. They want the screen and they want
to be ye.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Oh my god, I'm like, live, can you go outside
and be with Luca? Furlowa was like I just want
to go inside and I'm like, can you what?

Speaker 2 (43:36):
I know?

Speaker 3 (43:37):
It's awful. Yeah, anyway, and.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
That summer felt longer back then. I think I think
it was longer. I think we had a clean three months,
we had from labor. We had yea memorial data Labor Day. Yeah,
that's pretty much our summer. Yea, it was so good.
It was great.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
But even now, like but the other creepy thing is
is like all the iPads and the iPhones and all this,
like my kids sometimes know how to use better, maybe
not than me, but then my mom for sure, Like
there's a generational thing that happens where like so the
other day my mom has whatever I think I don't
even think there's TVs that are made anymore. They're not
smart TV's where you can just log into all your
streaming services. So my mom, you know, uses ours whatever

(44:14):
and other people.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
You're not supposed to be doing that, but that's what
we do.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
She uses ours, and she goes, I can't log into
Peacock and all my shows are on Peacock, which is
just like snapped and all the weird shit she watches,
you know.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
What I mean.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
And so I'm like, Okay, you're gonna have to log
out and log back in because I had to change.
I changed the card we were using, like it expired
or whatever, to put in a new card, So you
gotta log out. And Jay, I can't do any of that.
I go, yeah you can. I'm gonna FaceTime you. So
I FaceTime her, and I'm staring at her like her nostrils,
and I'm like, turn the camera and she turns the
entire fing.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
I no, no, no, no, no, look at the phone.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
This is how it starts. And I gotta be patient
because this is gonna be a thirty five.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
The phone call, I know it.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
I go, look at the camera, Okay, could you see
do you see your face at the bottom right. Yeah,
and she's squinting, you know, She's like, yeah, I see it.
And I go, okay, can you there's a little white camera
just tap that one with your finger on the TV
or the phone.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
No, no, no, no, no, let's back up. Okay, look at the phone.
You see the little Okay? Good?

Speaker 1 (45:06):
So we figure that out. That's a seven minutes in word.
We're just we figured out how to flip the thing
so that she could see what I'm seeing. So now
I'm looking at she I'm looking at the entertainment stand.
I go, can you move the phone up and like
to the right so I can say, O, could you
see in the upper right car click on that?

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Good, go to settings. Okay.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
We finally get to the point where she has to
log in using my email address and my password. Now
I'm not going to say what my mamil address is,
but part of it is my first name, Jeanine, right,
And she goes and like, okay, so now you have
to say and you know, you got to go with
the thing with the arrow and you got to spell
it out. So I said, okay, so it's it's Janine,
And she's like, okay, and she's on. Now, my name

(45:44):
is j I A N I N E.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
Which I learned from your mom. It's actually not how
she likes you to pronounce it. And I'm sorry I'm
saying this. You don't want me to say it. She
got her head back.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
She does.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
My mom is the only one that calls me what
she named me, which is Jeanine Janine. I like, because
could you imagine if this asshole went up to you
and you're like, hey, and I see meach with your
name Ryan, Oh yeah, Janine?

Speaker 3 (46:04):
Fuck off? Like who the hell do you think you are?
You mean Janine? Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
It's just like the name is built in extra do
you know what I'm saying? Like, get to know me
and know that that's part of my personality. I don't
need to also say it in my name, you know
what I mean? So I'm not doing that. Whatever, it
doesn't matter, okay. And that's why there's that I word
is it's Jaia. She's like, it's the French way of spelling.
It's not a French born in this wom's body. She
has no idea what she's talking about. There's nothing French
about that. Okay, she did it so that you would
say jah, which no one's gonna say. She goes, I

(46:31):
should have spelled it like jajagha war, which is like zsh.
I'm like, absolutely not.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
Are you kidding me? Anyway, it doesn't matter. So she's
typing it. In the first part of it's Janine. She's
at the A.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Guys, she's three letters deep, and she goes, oh, why
does this have to be so long? I said, okay, mom,
you named me. It's seven letters. We're on the third
We're not even be halfway through. Dude, we're on the
third letter. Just take a goddamn breath. I can't do
any of this. I hate this time. I should have
never bought that this TV? Why did you guys have
me buy this TV? I gotta listen to this. This

(47:04):
is ridiculous. Why can't we just watch TV like regularly.
Didn't have any of the shit when I was little.
She's going on a full rant. I've lost her, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
And then I go, and then I go, do go
do at? So you know, so she goes, she gets
to that part and she does at, and then I go,
and then I go, it's Gmail. And then she goes
down and there's a thing that says at gmail dot
comes another's two acts and I go, okay, don't do
anything because I'm trying to teach her. We could just
delete the one character.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
So if she wipes out the holymail address, she's throwing
the TV off the balcony one hundred percent. Like I
know that that's what's gonna happen. So we got through it.
She got She's like, I'm telling you, this isn't gonna work.
It's gonna give me the same error messages said. I'm
just please go back in hit the thing with the profile,
go back into the thing. Now, at this point, we've
been on the phone, i'd say about thirty eight minutes.
I'm exhausted. I don't want to talk to anyone for
the rest of the night. This is fully wiped me out.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
Oh yeah, look at that. Okay, you're right, it works.
It's all fun. Okay, I gotta go.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
I gotta watch much okay, Like, oh my god, it's
just the tech. Like my kids, Like I noticed Luca
took my phone and he was facetiming with his dad
the other day and a notification comes up. You know
how it drops down from the top of your.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Swipe it up, swiped it up. You need to get
rid of it with one finger. He knew, like a pro.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
It's incredible. But see, this is Jay, this is why,
this is why our parents do this to us. This
is why your mother called you in a panic. Because
we are because we, to them, are like technological geniuses,
although we aren't anymore.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
No, we're just decent at it.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
We we we we we We're like, I'm pretty tech savvy.
I know it's a computer, no, but we're not like
our kids are.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
Going to be.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Oh, it's crazy what they're going to be like. I'll
give you one and and Dad, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
I know.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
My dad hates this almost probably as much as your
mom where it's it gives him physical reactions. Even if
he has to go get like a new like a
new phone, he has to go to Verizon, if he
has to change providers, if he has to cancel, it
goes on.

Speaker 3 (49:03):
Verizon.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Yeah, they got like new Wi Fi recently. It was
I mean it was to the point where it was like,
you know, what, can you just fly home? Just fly
home because I'm not and I'm I get impatient because
I'm not not impatient with them. I get impatient because
I I don't.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
You don't know the whole I can't, you can't help.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
I'm not there right, so the big problem and I don't.
I still don't know if this has resolved itself. But
my dad likes to listen to Pandora on their TV.
Likes to play like a Frank Sinatra commercial, not commercial channel,
all throughout the day. Well, for some reason, Pandora was
cutting songs off with like thirty seconds was still around.
Well just kidding, I know same, And so obviously, me

(49:39):
being the Pandora connoisseur of ficionado, I would have the
answer to why Pandora is cutting songs off?

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Sure with thirty seconds left? You should know this.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Yeah, so I didn't. I googled it. A couple other
people are having this issue, and my dad called everyone
who might have even ever heard of Panda. He was
on the phone with Direct TV, he was on the
phone with Verizon, he was on.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
He's like writing letters to the CEO of Pandora.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Yeah, I mean yeah, he couldn't get a hold of
There's no one to talk to it Pandora. So obviously
you just start calling everyone else.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
Yeah, uh huh, it's calling Disney Plus just just in case.
So my mom called me yesterday. Yesterday, I am sitting
at my dining room table with my daughter doing homework.
And this homework, what she had to do was I
had to like read her a sentence. It was very
like we were very I'd be very engaged with her.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
It wasn't just like do this and I'll check it
like I had to be. It was I had to
be an active participant in homework.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
Right at the.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Same time, Lucas grabbing my hand and trying to pull
me out of the chair, I'm like, no, dude, I
gott to help her with this homework.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
Today.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
My mom is called me four times. So in the
fifth time, like something might be wrong, right, like obviously
not medically with her because she's able to call, but
something else might be wrong.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
I should answer the phone, you know what I mean.
So I answered the phone.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
Hey Jay, so listen, I'm just driving home. And I
was just like thinking, like, you're really good with stuff
like this, and I just was wondering, like I want
to get a T shirt made with just something like
custom Like I wanted to say something, but I just
need one now, guys, let me, let me explain to
you what's happening right now. Okay, first of all, I
I don't I don't manufacture, generate, or work with anyone

(51:11):
that makes f and merch.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
I would google custom T shirt and be like custom
shirts dot com.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
I don't know, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
So, and I have this moment happening where like Luke's
trying to pull it o, Livia needs the next few
words of the sentence, and I'm like at my wits end,
and I'm leaving the country in like forty eight hours
and I'm not not ready at all. I'm not packed,
i haven't figured it out nothing. And I go, mom,
I have no idea. I would have to google it

(51:38):
and then send you a link and then you can
just design it on your phone. And also like I'm
I'm a little bit like at my wits end with
like everything that I have to do for everyone, And
so I kind of I got a little short with her,
and I'm.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Have you apologized, by the way, Yes, Okay, she.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Still hasn't responded, but I did, and I was like,
I'm sorry, you know, and I and I and I
and then but I was just like, what, like I
don't understand, Like there's just you can't listen. I'm all
about like love and help your parents and like do
everything that you can to help them.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
But some of these things are like and I said.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Is this urgent?

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Could it wait till I get back from my trip?
Do you need this for like a fourth of July?
What is the T shirt for?

Speaker 3 (52:11):
You know what? Never mind?

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Just forget it. Okay, just forget that. I asked, it's
God forbid, I don't do it. Right that moment, it
becomes just forget that. I asked, you never do anything
from them? Okay, here we go.

Speaker 3 (52:20):
So then that was the end of that.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Have you heard of this this website let me google
that dot com?

Speaker 3 (52:26):
No?

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Okay? So it's a website that looks like Google. Okay. Oh,
you type in the question and it gives you a
link to send to that person and it shows how
to type into Google.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
Aha, she'll kill me. Yeah, yeah, it's a real sarcastic.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
It's let me google that. Yeah, let me google that
dot com. It's a really passive aggressive way. Turn up
your freaking phone and search for it.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
What do you mean? Man?

Speaker 2 (52:49):
So next time someone has a question about, hey, where
can I get one to.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Let me google that dot com?

Speaker 2 (52:54):
Yeah okay, and then send them the link they give
you and she'll feel like a real dummy.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
I love it. It's so good.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
Last thing, this just popped into my head. Do you
remember we were talking about TVs and I was just
thinking about obviously, the old TVs we used to have
were just gigantic, peace They were like pieces of furniture, remember,
like huge, but I gotn't even know how they would get.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
A flast screen TV.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
And it was really really really like deep but you
had to say it was like ten feet away from
the wall. Yeah, but it had those I don't know
if you remember this or you guys had this. The
screen had ridges in it, like the lines givots, right.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
And we had a lava lamp okay, yeah, right, we
had a lava lamp on top of the TV that
randomly one night exploded. Oh god, and it popped and
all the lava whatever the f's in there was dripping
inside and it was in each because it wasn't like
a smooth screen like there.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
Oh my god, Yeah, my mom had a fit.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
I was thinking though about just how different consumption of
television was back then, like we so those nights that
when I would wake up my mom staring at her
like liveded with you, right when I would want to
sleep either in their bed or on their floor or whatever.
And it was such a treat. My parents had a
really big bedroom and we would Kevin and I could
make these blanket beds on their floor, and it was

(54:04):
so comforting just to sleep in their room. I don't
know why, but I remember one night, I don't know
how old I was, but we were laying there watching
a movie on I think Cinemax, and at midnight Cinemax
became into Skinemax. Yeah, it became very different.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
I remember that. I used to love that as a teenager.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
You did. Yeah, well I wasn't a teenager. I'm I'm
talking eight, okay. And I remember waking up like everyone
had fallen asleep, and I was the first one to.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
Is this what happened? Like how you got the job
in the in the mail place.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
The male male machine, mail machine?

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Is this the lead up? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (54:40):
No, But I'm just saying it's insane to me that
if you imagine in twenty twenty five that if you're
watching a channel with your family at midnight night, it becomes.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
Off, yeah it's it. Yeah yeah, no, that's insane. So
here's the thing that I noticed about TV and how
it's changed when I was a kid. So you know,
when I was like young, I watched like Sister Sister, right,
and is that the one at the Mawori's Yeah, Lowry's
or maoris Ah, you're right, sorry, no, Lowry's is my
best friend's.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Last good job. It's also a steakhouse, but gohead, oh
it is.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Yeah anyway, so I I, uh, I would watch the
show and I loved it.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
And now you can stream Sister's Sister on one of
these whatever the f's these streaming services, and live wanted
to watch it, and I was like, oh, yeah, you
should watch that. I was from when I was a kid.
And like a couple hours later, I go in and
now now they're like thirteen and they're smoking a cigarette
a car making out with a guy, and I'm like, who, wha, wha,
wha what we got to turn this off? And she's like,

(55:40):
why you said. I was like, here's a thing that
I didn't realize live. When I was a kid, you
would I would watch this a season of this show,
and then the next year I'm a year older, and
then season of the show, and so I grew up
with these girls.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
It coincided with where you were development.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Yes, and I said, now you can binge watch years
and years of this and you're still nine as you're
sitting on the couch and you got it, So when
can I watch it? I was like, about four years,
you can watch this this next season, so.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
It's a matter of a week. They went from like
eight to fourty yes, And I.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
Was like, you're not.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
You don't.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
You're not growing up with the show like you did
when you were a kid, because you could just watch
all of it now. And then it becomes this thing
where it becomes highly inappropriate at a certain point for
a nine year old to be sitting there and watching,
and I'm like, no, absolutely not. I remember that's how
I developed a fear of clowns. When I was like seven,
I went to a sleepover and they were like, we're
going to watch Stephen King's it And it was a
bunch of nine year olds because it was my cousin's

(56:32):
friends and they put it on, and I have this
thing where like I can't not look at it even
though I'm scared, you know, yeah, like my head was
under the pillow, but it was like peaking, yeah, And
it was terrifying, And it's one of my favorite scaring
movies of all time now.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
But it was.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Did you call your mom to come pick you up?
Absolutely not, No, Nope, you stayed. But I'll tell you
what was really weird. There was a house we lived in.
Remember I told you we moved twenty two times. There
was a house we lived in and the we lived
there for I think two years. Every single night of
the two years that we lived there, I had the
same nightmare.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
Ooh, that's crazy, to a point.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
Where in the nightmare I would say out loud in
the nightmare, no, no, no, I know it's gonna happen.
I became aware of the fact and it would still
play out exactly as it did. And it didn't stop
until we moved out of that house.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
That's crazy. Yes, that's nuts.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
It was so scary.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
The only time I ever called my parents to or
my mom to pick me up from a sleepover was
a similar thing. But I obviously I didn't tough it
out like you did. You know, it was they put
on Leprechaun or Children of the Corn.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
Oh, my god, Leprechaan is the movie my sister was
terrified of because I watched it and she kept coming
in and out of the room.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
But that is not why I called her to pick
me up. It wasn't the scary movie. It was because
when I walked into the house, Mikey Justco's house. His
dad very nice people. They owned Highland Convenience Store at
the just goes shout out. His dad was standing in
the kitchen making us pizza, like a homemade pizza, but
he wasn't wearing a shirt, and there was a cat
on the and he was coughing while making the pizza.

(58:03):
And the scary movie didn't affect me as much as
watching this shirtless manny the salaki pizza. I gotta go
and there's a cat on it and on the counter
next hygen.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
I need to go home and meeting I can't.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
So I picked up the phone and I didn't tell
her because I didn't want anyone to hear me say, Mom,
come pick me up. And I was just giving her
like just vague keywords.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
Hi, they have a cool cat here. It's on the counter.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
It's so awesome, We're gonna get pizza. And I think
maybe his dad was swimming because he doesn't have a
shirt on. But everything's good.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
Mom. How are you doing? Like what did you say that?

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Yeah, we're just waiting for her to go.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
I'm enjoying this, but this is what I'm seeing right now,
waiting for her to leave me in this environment.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
To finally pick up on it and go you need
me to come get you?

Speaker 1 (58:44):
Yeah, and you're like, yeah, yeah, that'd be great. Okay, cool,
talk to you in the morning and come get me.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
Okay, I to turn to your friends and go, ah,
something came up.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
My mom's gonna come get me. Sorry.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
It was so cool, and I'll get dinner later. Don't
worry about pizza. I'm fine, I'm fine. That is hilarious.
I forgot to mention that I did also work at McDonald's.
You did at a truck stop, like a truck stop?

Speaker 2 (59:06):
Okay? Why? Where? How?

Speaker 3 (59:08):
In Upstate New York there was like a rest stop McDonald's.
It was so gross.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
But that, of all places I know, I feel like
those are reserved for work.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
I was working in one location and they moved me to there.
I think it was like fourteen too.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
No, you don't need a truck stop McDonald's.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
No, No fourteen year old girl should ever be working at
a truck stop in any capacity, In my opinion.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
Explains a lot.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
But I was always like I was always a professional
with everything that I did. Like I remember I had
to narrate it.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
The principal of my school asked me if I would
narrate their school video. Oh, and I was like, yeah,
right up your alley and I couldn't wait to do it.
And she was going to bring me to the studio
where they were going to record me doing it. And
I got out of her car and I shut the
door behind me and my finger the door closed on
my index finger and my nail like ripped. Oh, and

(59:58):
blood shot out into her white heat of her car.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Kind of was like I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
And she's like no, no, no, no, no, are you okay.
I'm like, yey, you know, I'm fine.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
It was not fine.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
My finger had a heartbeat and there was and I
was worried about her seat and she's like, no, no,
this is it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Blood's the easiest.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Thing to get out of upolstery and I'm like, Okay,
that's a weird thing to say, and so no, yeah, yeah,
why do we know that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
I'm not going to ask a followup question. Let's just
go inside where there are more people.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
So she brought me inside the studio and they wrapped
my finger and the guys, I just hold it above
your heart.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Do you not want to do this? We don't have
to do this?

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
And I was like, absolutely not, I have to do this.
So I sat there for forty five minutes with my
arm up in the air, unbelievable, with the microphone, and
I narrated the school video.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
Congrats, I did it anyway. You're a champion. Yeah, say
it anyway, do it anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
That's right, that's right obviously. Yeah. So times have changed,
but somehow we haven't.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
We went from those blockbuster nights to binge watching Netflix
or Peacock in your mom's case.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
And we're still just trying to figure it all out
loudly with microphones. Thanks for listening, and say it anyway,
