Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Maybe by podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Hello everybody, and welcome to the broadcast with a man
of Shandy and Colleen.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
My name is Colleen, my name is Amanda, and I'm Shy.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Welcome to the show, everybody. This is season nine, episode
thirty four, Episode number three ninety four. More crazy numbers. Yeah,
how's it going?

Speaker 4 (00:44):
It was a doozy.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I'm sorry. I think Shandy's a Frenchman talking in the
background and that's why she's muted.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yes, yes, he went for a run, but forguys, watch
just came back to grab it.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Cool cool, cool.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah. So here we are and in March next summer
record of the April and that's kind of crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Oh god, it was.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, before we start, we just need to take a moment.
And you know, we probably heard that Aaron passed away
from breast cancer on Friday, March twenty first, And she
was definitely a beloved member of this community. She had
just the most infectious personality, you know, she made everybody

(01:36):
feel welcome and she was a very joyous person. She
ran into these the meetups headfirst and won everybody over immediately,
and she was just all around incredible. And it is
a huge loss for the world. In general, So we

(01:57):
just wanted to take a moment and acknowledge erin. And
I do want to say, Aaron, I don't care. I'm
still gonna refer to it as sexy time, So I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I was literally gonna mention that I don't know if
now it's the right time or not. I want I
guess I'm story here, But because I like went through
and like looked at some of the emails that she
sent into the broadcast, and one of them is this
long email about how happy the movie Happiest Season made
her and that was a wonderful movie and that was great.

(02:34):
And then the other one was when she and Michael
wrote in about going down a downward spiral that led
us to stumbling upon an article about worst vagina synonyms
and I had to do with sexy time and like
euphemisms and stuff, So.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Well, you know what, in your honor, I won't use
the phrase sexy time. I'm for like a whole week.
Then we're going back.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
And you're going back to his texta times with the PPM.
But JJ, yeah exactly, I went on two runs since
she died, and I definitely.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
It's okay, Yeah, yeah, it's a fly a lot.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
It's a lot.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
You haven't really thought about her, and.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
You're not alone. A lot of people have thought about her.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
I don't think she has left my thoughts. In the
past four days.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Michael and Aaron did a podcast called will Run for
with two other friends, and they recorded an episode called
Remembering Aaron and on Sunday night, and uh, if you
want to give a listen to it. It gives you know,
some more behind the scenes information about her illness and uh,

(04:14):
just you know, some other stuff in general. Uh, they're
going to do a I believe there's a memorial run
planned that's going to be planned at some point for her,
and there will be also a uh uh what's the word,
I guess an immemorial show for her where they want

(04:36):
you to call in voicemails instead of writing in, you know,
to with memories or whatever. And then there's also going
to be a a celebration of life on Friday morning
in New Jersey. So uh, yeah, it's uh sucks, really sucks.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Life is very not fair and this is a very
big example of that.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, okay, so anyway, Aaron, we love you, we miss you,
and life is not fucking fair. Thank you for sharing
your life with us for the you know, five or

(05:29):
six years that we knew. Thank you always a joy.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yes, well said.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well, speaking of joy, Jay turns forty on Thursday. Hooray,
finally definitely in the.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Existential crisis in the twilight of your thirties that that
feeling does happen.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
And keeping it's okay, it's fine, It's totally fine. I'm
forty one now and I don't feel any different than
I felt when I was thirty nine and tired all
the time. Don't have a birthday, j Congratulations for this
amazing milestone. We went on. We had a scary moment

(06:20):
on Sunday. We went on a bike ride my flat tire.
My tire was flat and I figured it out, like
you know, within seconds of leaving. And that sucked. But
I rode through it up and down those hills in
my neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Oh, it was awful.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Did you take your tires before you left?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Well, it did, and it felt low, so I pumped it.
But I guess I didn't do a good job because
it was still flat. So like anytime there was a hill,
I would like, you know, stand up and try to
do it. But like it was a back tire and
it just it just couldn't do it. So I had
to like walk up the hill with the bike. I
was that person. Anyway. Jay was on a scooter and

(07:01):
so it was. Zach was riding bikes with the kid
that was behind us that he plays with, and so
they were doing their own thing. And we were coming
down one of those big hills in the neighborhood and
I went first because there's turns, you know, and I
went before Alex to make sure he could come down,
and then Alex went second, and then Jay went third

(07:22):
in the middle of the road because he wanted to
make sure people saw him to not like, you know,
go fast. But I guess Alex slowed down very quickly
because he got nervous or something. It's still unclear, but
he slowed down very quickly. So Jay tried to slow
down on the hill and the momentum was too great
and he jumped off. But still the momentum was too

(07:43):
great and he ended up doing like a tuck duck
and roll kind of thing. He just tore up his legs,
his knees, his arms, like everything is it like it
was all like just skinned. It was it's so bad,
Like like I accidentally put my hand in a knee
before and he like jumped like fifty feet in the air,
and I was like, oh, that's right, you don't have
any skin on your knees right now. I'm so sorry.

(08:06):
So but then he was but it was scary because
he was just laying in the middle of the street
like in a ball because he was like in so
much pain and shock, and I was like, you got
to get you out. The car could come. He was
on the hill, like a car could come over the
hill and they wouldn't have seen him until they were
like going downhill. And I'm like, because I didn't see

(08:27):
it at first, I heard something was going on, but
like out of the corner of my eye, I saw
Alex was still on the bike, and I didn't think
that it would be Jay flying off of the scutter.
So my neighbor, one of our neighbors, saw and she
ran out to see if everything was okay. She was like,
that was very impressive, like it like you didn't hit

(08:48):
your head like you did a You executed that perfectly.
I know, because then we said that Alex were like, soa, now,
daddy hit his head he would have died. So that
is I know, and you know I left before me
and I was trying to do the air bike that
I left my helmet sitting on the driveway. I didn't
think to put it back to put it on because
I was like, I gotta go, I gotta go, and
Jay didn't doesn't even have a helmet because we can't

(09:10):
put it.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
I'll ask Daniel Brandon. Daniel also has a very big head.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
I will Daniels. They don't have they don't have the
big ones at Walmart, so.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
I will ask.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
I will we go on break, I'll go check what
a brand Daniel's helmet is, and.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I will wonder how that would be wonderful.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, so good, yeah, good times.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Oh when I got a new phone finally, it's so big.
It's so big, though you it's really pretty that sort
of green, it's like a sorbet kind of coloring. Yeah,
it's pretty delicious, thank you. It's huge. It's like my
it's like twenty five percent larger than my old phone,
which was the Mini, which was tiny.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah. Phones.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, so it's weird, but it's so cool because I
didn't even have to like charge it last night and
it's still on seventy especially I'm at seventy eight percent
without like with like fifteen minutes of being awake, So
this is not right. Yes anyway, Yes, So what's going
on with you guys?

Speaker 4 (10:21):
I had my first instance today of being late for pickup?

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Oh did she get mad? No?

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Well, so it's you know now that she's in three
K and not daycare, Like we're not charged per minute.
It's not like as that's strict, but still it's like
they're like we close at six, like please come pick
up your child before them. And usually that's not a problem.
Usually I'm there like between five fifteen and five thirty,

(10:49):
like every day, no problem. I like went into work
today and there was like a retirement party for one
of my colleagues who like I just really love it respect,
and like a whole bunch of people were there, and
I just, you know, I think just I kind of
just had like, you know, I just wake up some
days and just like your brain, don't don't brain. It

(11:10):
was like one of those days, like my brain just
was not up for the task of today, and I
you know, there was like an after party at like
five thirty and people like, Oh, are you gonna go?
But I'm like I can't. I gotta to pick up.
But I was like maybe if it starts like earlier
at five, I could go. No I can't. No, I
can't I leave at four thirty because I have to
pick up my kid at five thirty, Like I don't

(11:31):
know on what plane I was on. And I'm like
sitting at my desk and like we have this like
company like newsletter that goes out at five every day,
and I was like, wow, when was the last time
I like checked this email, like sitting at my desk
at work, And I'm like, oh, right, because I'm not
supposed to be here, there's a reason. And so then

(11:56):
I went from being like yeah, sure I'll come to
the party like oh my god, I gotta.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Go, like running out the door.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
I'm like hauffing it. I'm like, oh, I hope the
trains are in my favor.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
And they were sort of yah.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
It's like I get a call from the school like
at six oh one, I'm like, oh, on the train
like about to pull into the subway like station where
school is, and I'm like yeah, I'm just getting off
the train. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
I'll be right there, and I'm like and of course
I wore like my big, my big girl boots and
my big tall heels and I'm like, but I get
there and it's like totally fine.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
There's like another kid.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
That's also still waiting. Like I think I think there
are parents that, like habitually are late. But because I've
never done it before, I was just you know, like
again the rual followers like I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry,
and like, of course, like eating the dramatic theater kids,
she is like, you left me. Oh it was lonely.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
It's like, no, you weren't. You were fine, you were fine.
You saw me and you were.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Spawning and coming. Why did you leave me? Can you know?

Speaker 3 (13:14):
You scream out?

Speaker 4 (13:15):
You can't.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
I just do what she did there.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
So yeah, that was that.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yep, I'm sorry. It's okay though, just a one off.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Well that ends well. I guess sometimes you just or
somewhere else other than reality.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Mm hmmm, why were you?

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Shanny?

Speaker 3 (13:38):
I ran nine miles on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yes, I'm just like little by little bit, like I mean,
I've been doing the training program for this eleven mile race.
In April and I'm almost done with my training and
it's like been going, you know, it's not it's not
like when I was twenty eight, but it's been going
and it's been going fairly well overall, I would.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Say, And it's ze cool.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, where's your race?

Speaker 4 (14:11):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Is it local? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (14:13):
It's so it's the it's like one of the events
at the BIGS are marathon. They so the BIGS are marathon,
Like they don't have a half marathon because the halfway point,
like you would have to start on Bixby Bridge and
there's nowhere there to like buss out a bunch of
people and turn the buses around and have people wait
in the morning before they start.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
Like there's just not it's just not set up that way.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
Just not Yeah, it's just not set up that way.
So they can't really have a half marathon. So they
have some other like they have another random distance. They
have a twenty mile race, so you can, like if
you don't get into the full marathon or you don't
want to run a full marathon, you can always do
like the twenty mile. And it's also it's because like
at the twenty miles starting point, there's like a good

(14:58):
place to drop people off, et cetera. But anyway, this
eleven mile race is I think I want to say
it's new, like I've never noticed it before. And so anyway,
it's like almost a half marathon but not quite but
like works with again where they can like drop people off.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, and it's good.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
It's like it's great because like I wanted to get
back into running. I wanted to do it slowly and
smartly and try not to hurt myself, and like I
was not in marathon shape, so like that was that
would have been a recipe for you know, potentially like
injuring myself. But this is like a nice little sweet
spot and Frank's doing the full and we have a

(15:38):
friend coming down from Montana who's doing the full, so
like we'll all, you know, we'll all be there at
the finish line and yeah, it'll be.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Fun amazing, that's awesome, yay. Yeah, and you're feeling good and.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Feeling good like again, it is like it is.

Speaker 5 (15:55):
Different than yeah, yeah then my first around, but like
but I've been like doing okay, so yeah, there was
like some feet things and some you know.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
I've been getting blisters. I think my shoes are maybe
too small. And that's another thing where it's like even
my feet are not the same as they used to be.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, because I.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Was gonna I was gonna ask, like do you have
to get more supportive shoes now? Like, yeah, how does
how does that change?

Speaker 2 (16:24):
I think, like.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
I think I've been doing a better job of like stretching,
like and like doing like foot exercises and stuff, because
I have like some Achilles not Achilles TODs, but some
plant of Fasciidas stuff, and I think I've been doing
a better job with that. So like I could get
insoles at some point, but like I don't have insuls

(16:47):
right now. But I think what it is is like
I need a wider toe box actually, or maybe even
like a half a half size bigger than Like I've
had the same size running shoes for a very very
long time. But again, like as you age, you'd get
bigger sometimes. I mean you you ladies should know this
because pregnancy changes your feet.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yes, yes, but Mike kind of went back, like my
feet didn't really they they got swollen, but like my
foot size didn't really change, Like I still wear all
the same.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Shoes well, I think for my I'm not sure nine.
I'm generally in nine now I can still get into
some eight and a half. But I used to be
eight or eight and a half. Now I'm eight and nine.
In running shoes, yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
Yeah, I always did. I always like Sivee step a
half size and running shoes.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
But from ages of yeah, running and walking that I've think.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
You know, I have also like i have like a
little bit of like a bunion on both feet, more
so on the right foot, and I think I think
it's just like a little bit more than it than
it was ten years ago. And even that little bit
like kind of changes, yeah you know how your foot
is in the shoe and stuff. So anyway, but that's

(18:02):
only how the blisters only happen with my eight and
nine mile runs. So I'll figure that out. That's the
thing is, like I only have I have one more
like long run. I'm going to do a ten mile run.
That's why I'm gonna like I'm just going to train
to ten and then I'll have like two taper weeks
and then I'll have my eleven malory. So I only
have two more like double dig Your runs The rest
are shorter Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Well, good luck. You'll have to keep us posted on
your progress. Yeah, so we have a group chat, and
you know where I'm going with this, So let's just
talk about the the group chat war plans, the stupidest
fucking thing. That's also good one.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
I also didn't realize that like the Magas were on Signal.
I thought, like Signal the Blue Sky. You know.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
No, my brother in law, he's been trying to get
all of us on the Signal for a while. Because
it's encrypted, it doesn't save your data, and you know,
the deep State was looking at your data. Blah blah blah.
Still not so like, it's not safe for anybody. And
twenty three me delete your data. If you're on twenty
three and me, I downloaded all of our shit today

(19:15):
and printed it all out, and we're deleting our stuff.
Just go into your settings and you can, you know,
do a search at the very bottom for twenty three
and meter data and click on that and you can
download your shit and delete it. Just letting you know
that PSA because they're filed for bankruptcy and whoever buys
them will have free reine your data end, which.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Part I've never done any of those But it sucks.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Because those companies actually really like twenty three and Me
really did have a lot of good perks, Like I
learned so much, and like it had the the digit testing,
like because I don't know, if you wanted to know
that stuff, it was there and it was affordable, whereas
if you went through insurance it'd be like a gazillion
trillion dollars. So it was like a way for people

(20:00):
to take action and like learn their own shit out.
But you know, an insurance company could buy that data
and then they could use it to you know, ping
you whenever they cancel, you know, whenever they abolish Obamacare
Affordable carre Act, and then they could just go back
to charging you more money because they purchased your data
from twenty three and Mey, yeah, just saying I want

(20:20):
to say that's the worst case scenario, but that's probably
the most likely scenario.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
You seem to be in the worst case scenario.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Takeline.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
So yeah, anyway, Yeah, I don't know about you guys,
but I always like to make sure that I add
strangers to my chat when I'm doing war plans.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, it doesn't everybody and everybody. It just makes it
more exciting.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, they not realize, like not one person was like
because you can this added to this.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
It was the Atlantic. It's not like it was like
someone someone from like Fox News or something.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Right, it was like.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Anytime I am put into a group chat, the first
thing I do is look and see who's in the
chat with me. Then there are numbers I don't know.
I tend to ask is it's wild.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's also stupid. It's like, it's so stupid and it's
so dangerous.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah, because apparently, like the White House, they're just all communicating.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, like not because but remember the server.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Oh no, but it's totally different.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
It's totally different, totally different. She was de I and
when DEI does it, it's bad.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
How dare you?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
How dare you? When they do it? And also like
they again they can't they can get around for your
request now exactly Freedom Information Act.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
So you can't subpoena conversations and signal because they disappear.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Which again you shouldn't have had to these conversation that
happen in the private rooms in the White House where
they're supposed to happen. You can't sebpoena those either. But
like you know they're in private so people can't hack it.
And if you think that, like China hasn't figured out
a way to hack signal, like I got a bridge

(22:17):
to sell you, okay, Like there is no way that
China Russia. Yeah. Also they might have added they could
have like had like fucking Pootin is like number two
and half of these tips chains and they wouldn't even
know because they're so dumb.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah my god, yep, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
You know, you know he should have he should have
been like new phone who dis Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
But here's and like the thing is like we've already
kind of we've already kind of said it with the
Hillary thing, but like just it's infuriating, Like think like
if this had happened under a democratic administration.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
They would have won. The Republicans would have would have rightly, yeah, yeah,
would roll yes.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
And democratic heads what Democrats would have been with it?
Like that's like the infuriating part. Yeah, man, I just
said the hypocrisy and double standards I do not like
on top of the fact that it's also very terrifying.
It is.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yes, it is like we're all in danger. Nobody trusts us.
They're ship talking.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Europe yeah, America, you're in danger.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Girl, my god, said, we're not listening to warnings.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
No, well he's not coming to save us this time, no.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Oh my god. Uh yeah, but you know that was
the laugh I needed after the whole like the law
firms and Colombia capitulating to him. Oh god, where it's
just like I can't even talk about it because it
makes me want to vomit. But like, I don't know
that's how, that's how. That's the bad place. I'm sorry, but.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yeah, it is kind of like the good place. How
like the whole first season, you think you're in the
good place, then you realize you're in the bad place.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yeah, and we never thought we were in a good
place historically thought of itself as Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
I mean the best place, not just the good place,
the goodst place.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
The gooddest place, so good. Everybody wants to be here
and we don't. And we've locked our doors and we're
throwing people out, even if they live here in the house. Yeah,
I'll tell you you're out. Yeah, Like, tell me you're
just horrible people without telling me horrible people truly. So,

(24:56):
speaking of the good Place, we watched a little series
this week called running Pinked.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Sure did, it's good.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
Fine.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I loved it. I thought it was gonna be kind
of dumb. I love the fuck out of it. It
reminded me of ted Lasso meets Arrested Development.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yeah, it's dumb in all the best ways.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
It's like exactly, it's a dumb in a.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
Way that like it just yeah, it's like it just
doesn't ask a loud of you. It's it is what
we need in this moment.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yes, it's really good. If you okay, we will will
set a timer for like ten minutes to talk about it,
and here we go. So if you don't want to
be spoiled, don't skip ahead ten minutes and I'll make
sure it's ten minutes. Okay, here we are not even
need ten minutes. But I loved it. It was so good.

(25:42):
I the thing that reminded me of ted Lasso is
because each episode ended, like you know, on like a
kind of an upnote, even though like crazy shit happened
during the whole thing, And every time I saw a
little Sephora thing across their chest, it reminded me of
in ted Lasso when they changed their nice and the
Arrested Development part was just the family in general. Yeah,

(26:07):
like it does.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Borrow from a lot, Like there's a lot of pre
existing tropes. I like that. I was talking about this
with Daniel. It's like the story beats are very predictable,
like they follow a very predictable, predictable formula, but the
way they get there is unique, so like you can
see it coming, but then it's like you don't until

(26:31):
it happens and you're like, oh, yeah, there it is.
That was a fun way to get into that.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah, I having just finished it before we started the
final episode where he does the grand gesture or the
second to final episode when Sandy does the Grand gesture,
and I was drinking tea when he was singing the
Taylor Swift song and he's like, you'll be my prince
and I'll be your other prince. I literally spit it

(26:55):
out laughing.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
I was like, like, you know they're going to get
back together.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
It's O K.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Hudson and the coach. You're going to kiss, Like you
know that's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yes, you totally did. There was pretty and also Schmidt
it was yes, yeah, like it was.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
It's very predictable. You can like see where they're where
they're eventually going to end up, but you can't like
they did a good job of like not making it obvious,
like they didn't put bread crumbs all the way there.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I I don't know what that actor's
name actually is because I can only think of him
as it was. It was fun to see him in
something else. New Girl is problematic if you rewatch it,
but it's also kind of like comfort TV. And anyway,

(27:50):
I love the character of Schmidt, even though he is
also problematic, So it's just it was fun to see
that actor and something.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
So there's your good persons or not the sheriff, the deputy,
like a guy that helps her out.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
Yeah, oh my god, that's crazy anyway, But like I like,
I don't I knew, yeah, you know, you know that
she and the.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Coach of chemistry, but also like Schmidt.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Too.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Wo I know. Now I feel like I'm okay with
either way exactly because I was like rooting for her
to get with the coach all season. But I'm also like,
but maybe they could be.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Maybe Schmid can be like her bestie. They can go
from engagement just like exactly, and then those characters.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
So if you don't know. The series is based on
Genie Buss, who is the controlling owner and president of
the Lakers, and she took over after her father died
in twenty thirteen. Is controlling owner ship passed on to
his six children via the trust, and each sibling had

(29:05):
the equal vote, but she took over as team president
and Lakers representative on the NBA Board of Governors, and
in twenty twenty, she became the first female controlling owner
to guide her team to an NBA championship.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
I did not know that.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
I didn't know any of that.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
One of us just research. Thanks. So she's actually currently
married to Jay Moore, the actor from Yeah, from the
movie that I love that I keep forgetting the name of.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
You know, Yeah, I can't think of it, but I
feel like I do know.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
One Crazy Night, not one Crazy Night. We just talked
about it last week with Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jan Harley.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
Wait, yes, crazy Night, Okay, that's fun alternate titles.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Anyway. Yes, So, I don't know if her siblings in
real life are are super involved, but I don't know
if they're super involved in the Lakers. But I did
think that it was yeah, cool definitely. Yeah, and it's
definitely a Miny Kaling show because it's positive and upbeat.

(30:23):
The jokes are clever and yeah, my other favorite line was,
oh VPL he is VPL? What's VPL visible penis line?
Could you be more of an ally? And Jamie? I

(30:47):
love Jamie Jackie Jackie right, that's the new brother Jackie.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah, surprise brother. Yeah, Oh he's yeah, he's so sweet.
Even though he was kind of, you know, made some decisions, he.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Made more decisions. You know what, when we're young, we
have to make poor decisions. That's how we grow and learn.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
That's true, especially when you learn overnight that you are
related to billionaires.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Exactly give me the path. Let's see when we're talking
about brothers nests, like you're quintessential dumb brather.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
But but it's so endearing and I love that, Like
his marriage is like they talk about it at the
like somebody called her like a mail order bride and
and it's like very clearly not that. And I love
when she's like his money, like I'm better off than him,

(31:47):
my family way wealth here the Philippines, like we have
this nut.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, yeah, I love that. Oh my god. When when
Sandy gets robbed in the shower. Oh my god, Oh
my god, that was so sad. It was really sad,
I think. But they did. But they didn't even go

(32:13):
in like the direction that you would think, like he
didn't get all bummed out about that. It was you know,
they're so rich, what does he care about? Need to
get a new TV? That his lesson was to, you're
not a loser, go get your man back.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah, and make sure that you have like, you know,
a luxA or whatever set up in your house so
that you can shout text messages.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Sis. What about Chet Hanks? You know, Tom Hanks's son
that was the rapper for a minute as Travis, the
point guard, the drug addict.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
What I did not feel I did not realize that
that was Tom Hanks's son, I guess. I don't think
I realized that he had a son who was an actor.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Well, yes, he has the other one that actually look
Colin Hanks, that actually looks like Tom Hanks.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah. And he's also a very good actor, Yeah, very
good actor.

Speaker 5 (33:09):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
I liked him.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
I mean he's your typical like starts out as a douchebag,
you know, like sex is kind of dude, you hate
and then grows as a person and you started to
kind of like him.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah, I think there's more that they can do with
that character. Next season, definitely they grow that character even more.
Still a little caricature.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Yes, I can see. I could see next season being
because they are doing a season two predicted probably too.
It'll be a power struggle between Justin Thurrow's brother Cam
is that Cam right, the rest of them. It'll be
interesting to see where that lands. But you know, I

(33:51):
think that it'll be like some hilarious sobriety journey for
what's his face? Like he'll get into like Jesus or
something and they'll play up that aspect, I think, And
I can see them. Yeah. Oh, Brenda's song was amazing.
As the Chiefs Staff, it took me.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
A while to figure out who that was until the
like mccaullay Colin cameo. I was like yes.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
When he showed up, I was like, God, she.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
Is so familiar, Like what else have I seen her?
And like she looks so familiar and it's like that's why, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Wait, when was there a mccullylin.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
He was he was the he was the the guy
that was cheering that was in the crowd, Billy, he
was the Lakers fan. He was like Billie Eilish, we
need Billie Eilish. That was mcaulay culkin. I need to
go back and want and you can tell absolute time
of his life doing it.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
So amazing, amazing.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
But you know, she is beautiful, not to like that
be this second thing I say about her, But she's.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Gorgeous, really funny, I really really i'd seen her in
anything else.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Like she's she's only a few years younger than us,
but she she's in her like she's like thirty seven. Yeah,
but she was in the sweet light of Zach And.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
Her birthday's March twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Oh, same days, Chase, Happy birthday, Happy birthday. So did
you guys see that coming with Justin Thurrow's character. Okay,
there's our ten minutes. If you are joining us now
after ten minutes, give us five more minutes. I swear, Okay,
I swear five more minutes. I'm setting it right now. Okay,

(35:38):
did you see that coming?

Speaker 4 (35:39):
I think because you need you need a big bad
do you need some conflict? They you know, I think
they had already announced a second season was coming at
that point, so it's like, yeah, they needed some conflict
for next.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Year and the other two brothers. Like in the first
half of the season, it was the two other brothers
that tried to overthrow her and then they had resolved that.
So yeah, like the season now, yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, we'll see. I do love though. I love that
at the end of the day, they are all like
friends and family, even though you don't know how to
do family. I think it's cool that that's and that's
I feel like that is like the Mindy Kaling kind
of influence, right, because all of her shows seem to
be very much like that. I never saw the The

(36:24):
Mindy Show or.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Whatever, but all the other ones I see. I watched
a few episodes.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
And then I got distracted.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
That's right. I remember that.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
Yeah, I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
The one thing that I thought was fucked up and
I thought it would go further. And I hope that
she gets her revenge in the next season is when
they took that hoopy thing from her. She got played
so bad.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, let's see, we have
three minutes left.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Any last thoughts three minutes you think the coach will
leave or you think he'll end up staying.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
He'll end up staying.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Yeah, you know, they gotta do it, will they won't?
They kind of love triangle. Yeah, you think Lev Levenstein
is going to take her back?

Speaker 3 (37:11):
I don't know, but I really like him, but like
the whole history is so intentionally boring. Yeah, yes, very true.
Whatever happens with him, I just hope he stays in
the show because I like that actor.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Yes, say that, And he's just like a nice guy
in the show. Yeah, he's a pediatrician. Yeah, and his
first name is almost the same as his last name. Exactly.
Do you think that Cam this was my thought from before.
You think Cam gave it to Isla because he thought

(37:47):
she'd suck it up and they would like meet him back.
Or do you think that he hoped that she would
just like maintain the course so he could come back
and like it wouldn't be like Fomo and then all
of a sudden he was like, oh my god, my
job is being threatened.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
I think he kind of thought she'd maintain the chorus
because she was the only one that I actually knew
about basketball. I do have to say one of my
nieces is named Aila and that and I don't know,
like a ton of Eilah, so that was kind of
It's funny.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Yeah, she's a really good comedic actress. And because I
haven't seen her in any movies in a long time,
like I know how funny she is, Like obviously she
gets it from her mother, but like she's really funny.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
And she's just like a good she's good at like
the physical comedy too.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Yes, yeah, joke about.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
Time, and I know that joke could get so tired
so fast, but like her physical comedy is so good
that like you laugh every single time.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yes, yes, I mean she gets punched out by the
mom yea, which I think that's the only use of
the F word in the show up till that point,
or maybe I just didn't take note. But when she's
like aspect is.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
Also the mom from sex Size of College Girls.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
That's why she looked so good for Okay, yes, what's
your face's mom? Okay, thank you? I knew she looked familiar. Okay,
real quick, any last we got we got fifty five seconds.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
I'm glad it's coming back for another season. And he
too decided to watch it. It was like one thing,
like you know, I didn't know anything about it when
I started watching it, and like, I'm just that it
was like such a puzzant.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Surprise exactly same agreed, very very glad that we watch it.
It's the first half with Jay. Watched the second half
myself today, so I'm excited to go back and rewatch
the second half with him when he catches up. And
next up, I think I'm gonna watch The Residents on Netflix.
Started that, yeah, we started.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
It's the same, same three episodes, and also.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
It's my lane right now. It's like this type of
show I can't like.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
It's perfect. I know there's only eight in season one,
so I mean, is there gonna be a season two?
I don't know, but yeah, there's only eight episodes, which.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
Is like, it's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
And there we go. Look at us. We made it
fifteen minutes, only five minutes over look at us. So
if you're just joining us back fifteen minutes later, we
are talking about how we're going to watch The Residence next.
I don't know if I'm going to get to watch
it over the next week because I I don't know.
I don't know, but I am looking forward too.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
We'll give ourselves a couple of weeks you know, is
it half an hour? No?

Speaker 3 (40:44):
I think no. I think they're longer episodes.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Okay, like forty five Yeah, okay, awesome. Okay, well then
I will definitely put that on my list because I
do want to watch it.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Yeah, it's great. Highly recommend.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
The Residence everybody.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
So I'm looking at the episode lengths and they very
they're about fifteen fenest. But as you go along, the
last episode, the last second, the last episode is an
hour and seven minutes, and the last episode is an
hour and twenty seven minutes.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Oh quite long.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Okay that's step for one of mind.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Yeah, good to know.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Okay, let's take a quick commercial break. We came back.
We'll do the feedback. So if you're just joining us, sorry,
you're gonna have to hit skip ahead for another like
thirty seconds. Here we go. All right, we're back. We're
ready to get into some feedback. First bit of feedback

(41:44):
is as always, from our Facebook group, and it is
from Mett and Matt says only got through half of
Running Point because I ran out of time. I did
like it though, it felt like it was finding its
way like a lot of shows do in its first season.
But the pieces are there that the show could find
its group definitely picks up, only find this groove by
the second half of the season. Yeah, yeah, perhaps it

(42:05):
does in the back half, or maybe it will in
the second season. It was charming cast and a lot
of talented people in the writer's room. Also to welcome
escape from you know, I'll have to check back in
when I finished. Yes, please do. And then Greg says
that you never go as to mouth is one hundred

(42:25):
percent from Clerks too, all right, I stay corrected. He
also continues, the most prominent bit from the first is,
oh wait, this from last week, isn't it. I'm gonna
read it again. Most prominent bit from the first is
the number of bow jobs Dante's girlfriend has given. It's
thirty seven in a row, counting Dante. And then he said,

(42:51):
he continued, I haven't watched those in a while. Wasn't
a fan of the third one they did recently, But
I watched the first two so many times back in
the day. I'd watch it, then watch with Con and
Terry Trax. And the second movie had three different commentaries,
and that makes sense. Kevin Smith likes to talk. I
could see him. I could absolutely see that being a thing.

(43:14):
Let's see. John says, I was listening on my AirPods
to the end of the show in the waiting room
for Kim's doctors appointment today and literally laughed out loud
twice when you did the match, which she said on
these two. The first one was Shandy.

Speaker 7 (43:31):
No one would judge if you just watched, and the
second was I'm gonna do my first.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Andy. Perceptionist thought it was funny that I laughed, So
I'm not in trouble. Oh good good. Jamie had a
random asked question, what's your phone's ring tones? I have
no idea. It's been on mute since uh, like two.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Like one of those I know. Can somebody call me? Actually,
we'll find out mine.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Has well, considering I just got a new phone, I
haven't changed any of that. I gotcha. Mine has to
be the generic one.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
I think mine is something obnoxious because Daniel's always like
afraid that I don't hear my phone. Oh that's Daniel's ring.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
I think it's one of the like standard ones. Yeah,
I don't hear it super often because my phone is
very awful.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Was it I lost contact with you?

Speaker 5 (44:39):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Hold on? I lost you again? One second, it keeps
switching the audio over to my phone because I called
you okay.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
Also like just because that is Daniel's ring tone, and
like the way the buzzer of our building is done,
it like goes to his phone, so like when someone
buzzes it calls him. And so now it's like this
Pavlovian thing when I hear that ring, oh somethings, that's
someone at the door.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Yeah, I have that whenever. Like now I use an
actual alarm clock because I sleep with my phone and
my phone's in the kitchen, so I have like an
alarm clock. But before when I used to use my
phone as an alarm clock, the tone that I used
as my alarm clock, I will hear out in the

(45:27):
wild of like people's ring tones, and it's the same
thing where I'm like, wake up.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
It's kind of wait, I didn't hear what it was.
What was yours?

Speaker 1 (45:37):
It's it's dude, okay, am I doing that right?

Speaker 2 (45:47):
Well? Can somebody call me now?

Speaker 4 (45:49):
Now?

Speaker 2 (45:49):
I want to know.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
Okay, I got you. I'll call you back. I have
a call from Colleen.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Okay. It's the it's the generic one. I hit the
volume and it made you go silent because apparently my phone,
the A on my phone knows that I am a
silent ring kind of person.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
I don't like that.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
No, Jay's Jay actually switches rings. Well, he used to.
I don't know if he set that up on his
new phone, but he used to have certain rings for
certain people that called well smart.

Speaker 4 (46:31):
I like I like that it is smart?

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Is it was it?

Speaker 7 (46:36):
Jack?

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Who says that jokes and says or says that he
has when his mom called, he has it set to
the Wicked Witch of the West theme song. They troll
each other like that. Whole family trolls each other constantly,
as you probably know by now any longtime listener of

(46:57):
any of the shows would know. But I'm pretty sure
he had the Wicked Wain to the Yeah, yes, let's see, Okay,
let's see. Everybody else answered, Oh Amanda, did you say yours?
And I just had my headphones on my phone instead?

Speaker 4 (47:16):
No, I actually have no idea what mine is.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
Yeah, right, here we go, I nominate Shandy.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
There we go.

Speaker 4 (47:27):
That's nice.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (47:30):
Oh want I have this lovely picture of you?

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Oh shit, I think I have the same one. That's
the one you must have shared with us.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
Okay, and this is the one that you oh yeah yeah,
what's mine?

Speaker 3 (47:49):
The great picture yours is.

Speaker 4 (47:53):
Oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
I like that picture of me.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
It's a great picture.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
It's a great picture.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Okay, let's see what else? What else? What else? I'll
look at all of us learning. How can companies steal
our data so easily? We don't even know what our
ring tones are. We are candies from the baby. We
are the babies. They are taking the candies from Okay,

(48:22):
Maggie says, hers is the theme from Veronica Mars once
the song started playing. One time, the song started playing
and I thought my phone was ringing, but I couldn't
find how to answer. That's amazing, God says, my phone
is always on silent, it never rings. Manny, same again,

(48:44):
God said, I think folks who have an audible alerts
on text messages are something close to monsters. Is that
when yes the boo?

Speaker 4 (48:55):
I only do it like if I know I'm getting
text messages and I don't have my flight, I'm not
looking at my phone, so like I know to check
my phone, yeah, but like.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
I don't. I think got may have the Apple Watch too.
We're spoiled though, because we don't need it. We can
just are buzzes on our wrist.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
Yeah, So it's very very cool and lucky and I
like it and that is a good useful soul.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Also, I mean sometimes I just won't see a text
for a while.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
Oh my god. Yes, okay, Rose says shocker Mine is
the theme from the West Wing. But my ringer is
never on unless I'm waiting for an important call. Even that,
I'll play a podcast and just wait for I know,
it is weird that like that like half a second

(49:51):
where like you're listening to something and it just like
shuts off and then it's like phone call incoming and
then it rings. Dennis and I have several depending on
a personal relationship to me immediate family, extended family, business,
I want to talk to you, et cetera. Call me
gotta get up. Oh that reminds me of what's it
called Russian doll? Yes, gotta get up? Big Bang Theories theme,

(50:18):
Short skirt, long jacket, I want a girl at the
short skirt and a lot jacket. Love that song. He
has Crazy in the Rock at the Grisonnatomy theme and
for the Raleigh group me singing red solo cup. No,

(50:39):
that's really funny. Guys. When Dennis is here next, we
all have to call him so I can just hear
myself singing it, and then.

Speaker 4 (50:52):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Oh my god. Okay, well that was great.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
We didn't any emails this week, so I think we're
just ready to plow right into the mass what she.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
Said, okay, indeed, all right in the house in the kitchen.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
Jump jump, jump jump, trying to get it. What's under
the covers?

Speaker 2 (51:21):
I see it, and I was just like, oh my god,
dpl man. I also learned what a twunk was thanks
to that show, because he said it, and I immediately
googled it and I was like, oh, this makes so
much sense. It's a twink, that's overage. Yeah, you're welcome.

(51:44):
Now I have educated you as well.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
She was playing with it.

Speaker 4 (51:51):
Bring it out right now.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
She's never done this before. She doesn't know how this works.

Speaker 3 (51:59):
She had it my bedroom.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
The act of it was gross, but watching it wasn't gross.
Were talking about I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
I think we're talking about the cat that had the
mouse in her hand.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
Yeah, I bet you.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
That's because when I'm talking about like she had it
in my bedroom. She had that mouse in my fucking bedroom. Yes,
that's true, And I'm still a little bit scared every
time she jumps in back into bed with me. If
I wake up and like she's already there, I know
it's safe, but like if she leaves and comes back up,

(52:39):
I'm like, oh god, uh. She ate both at the
same time, and she ate pretty quick. That was the steak.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
How big we're talking?

Speaker 4 (52:53):
Yeah, prisizeable.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
This is gonna be like two hours before this goes down.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
That's just something fun like that guy.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
That feels like a contender for episode title to.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
Me, I'm hoping to do earlier as much as I
can for now.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Lots of good frosted.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
Starting with like three of them, twenty of them.

Speaker 4 (53:31):
Thank you, Matt. That was fun, so much fun.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Thank you Matt. That was fun.

Speaker 4 (53:38):
There was.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
In Louis emails. We may as well pick one of
these books and do a couple fantastic to get out
of here perfect.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
And before we do that, can we talk really quick
about adolescents because Frank and I just watched that recently.
It's like a four episode British mini series.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Yeah, what is it?

Speaker 4 (53:59):
I have I have heard about it, I am not,
and it sounds good, but it also sounds like it's
my vibe right now.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
It's it's like the exact opposite of all the other
shows we've been talking about. It's the kind of show
that like, like, this is like so something that Frank
would want to watch that I'm like, are we sure?
And then I watch it and it's like, yeah, that
was really good and I'm glad that I watched it,
but still also oh so intense, So what is it about?

Speaker 4 (54:29):
And it's all to be shot like it's like a
single Yeah, it's like a continuous shot.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
Yeah, no, that's it's pretty cool, and like like the
acting is really good, but it's just kind of heartbreaking.
It's like it starts with the police coming to this
house like in full force to arrest this thirteen year
year old kid who's accused of killing one of his classmates,

(54:54):
and yeah, so exactly so especially the first episode, like
I was just like so dist and I was like,
that was like the saddest, like most heartbreaking thing I've
ever seen, because it's like, ei, either either the kid
did it and that's heartbreaking, or the kid didn't do it.
And now he's like traumatized for life either way, Like

(55:15):
this is very traumatic what we just watched. So it's yeah,
it's like you gotta be in the right mindset for it.
But I will just say without trying to give like
anything away, Colleen, it made me think about our discussion
last week about your kids not having cell phones and
like trying to wait for Zachary as long as possible,
and it's just like, yes, you are so right to

(55:38):
do that, and that's all I'll say, because like it's
very much like you know, yeah, it's like the kid
cut phones and it's you know, what happens on Instagram
and like et cetera.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been thinking like more about this
since we've been talking about last couple of weeks. Like
I I feel like the phone thing, and obviously this
is definitely not an apples to apples comparison, so please
don't think I'm doing that, but I can see it
being similar to like parents that let their kids drink

(56:14):
at home before they're twenty one, right, and those kids
are statistically more likely to grow up and have problems
with alcohol, right that the phones. The younger you have
your phones, statistically they're more likely to grow up and
have more problems because they've got the text message chains

(56:36):
and the social media and then this and then that,
and it just kind of reminds me that, like, you know,
are like there's convenience and there's popularity, but there's also
you know, like what is I don't want to say
what is right, because that's wrong too. That's not the
right phrasing because obviously I've talked to some of the

(56:58):
more of the parents and one of Zachary's friends, like
he's a black kid, and his mom told me, I
want it if something happens to him, I want him
to have a phone so he can record it because
it'll be his wordy and somebody else's word. And I
another parent was like, well, you know, and you know
she's very liberal, and she was like, you know, we

(57:21):
thought about it. We know she's a girl, and we
know that like bullying is a thing, but also we're
terrified of a school shooting and we want her to
be able to contact us. So, like, I know, every
parent has like a lot of parents have their reasoning,
and I totally get that, and like, you know, I'm
on the fence too with like if there's a problem

(57:42):
at school. I want him to be able to contact me.
But again there's also like such a downside too that
it's difficult.

Speaker 3 (57:51):
Yeah, yeah, no for sure, and the show just like
it was just interesting because we had just had that
conversation last week and then anyway, it's like definitely yeah,
a big, a big issue in the show, and if
you do decide to watch the show, you will want
to get himself whatever. But it's it is. It's really

(58:13):
well done and it's like thought provoking. And the actor
who plays the dad is like one of the writers. Actually,
so that was that was interesting to Oh interesting.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
So it's just like a true crime back or.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
Is it just a it's just a show like I
can like give more of because I like, I read
some articles afterwards and I can give more of that
maybe later because I feel like if I said anything
now it maybe potentially gives some stuff away. It's not
it's not a true it's not a true story. I'll say.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
That makes me more like I think it's.

Speaker 3 (58:53):
Sort of like inspired by the times.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Okay, that makes me more likely to watch it because
sometimes when I know it's like real life, it's harder
too much, but you can disassociate if it's not real life.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
A little bit. Yeah, yeah, no, it's interesting that, like
your comparison, comparison with the alcohol is interesting because like
even like I always thought when I was younger, like
the conventional wisdom too, was like, well, if you you know,
like if you do like in Europe, you know, they
like have like a little bit of wine and it's

(59:26):
like in this controlled environment, and it like like how
to drink responsibly and stuff. And then like and then
now that I'm older and I've like, you know, read
stuff about and it makes sense. It's like, oh, like
alcohol is a drug. So the earlier you have that drug.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
The more you get to do exactly. But maybe it
wasn't fucked up back then because you didn't have the knowledge,
but like now that you have the knowledge, it is
kind of fucked up. And yeah, okay, let's see. You
want questions about me? You want pick one or would
you rather the first one? Questions about me?

Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
All right, what's your let's see? What is something that
you keep close to your heart? I keep my bra
close to my heart. Second contender for episode title.

Speaker 4 (01:00:26):
A necklace.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Here's one for the mass that she said, are you
a giver or receiver. This reminds me of the new
song by Western Face Chapel Roone take it like a taker,
because baby, I'm a giver.

Speaker 4 (01:00:45):
I haven't heard it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
I still haven't heard any of her songs.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Oh, she's she's very talented at making music. No, I know,
I mean, I I well keep political positions. But she's
an old fan of Jason Alden, who is or a'l
Dian who you know, coincidentally doesn't want her to exist
as a lesbian. But all right, whatever, there we are.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
It's not a commentary on anything about her. It's just
that I'm perpetually at least ten years behind.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
So yes, that's fine. We'll call these your europe years
Part two.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
I've just never recovered.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
Sorry. No, she wrote a country song and it's all
about how you know, she's a giver of orgasms and
she can give she can give the women orgasms where
the men fail to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
Well, I mean, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
It's it's actually it's it's a wonderfully trash talking great song.
It is really fun. It's a really fun song. But anyway, yeah,
so are you a giver or a receiver?

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
Depends on the situation. Both. Yeah, a little bit of
both depends.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
I'm a little bit country. I'm a little bit receiver
and giver.

Speaker 4 (01:02:00):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
What's your favorite dessert? No, boy, that's an easier one.
It's gotta have chocolate of ice cream is my favorite,
although I can't I can't eat it much anymore because
of you know, the lactose intolerant thing, but it's still
my favorite.

Speaker 4 (01:02:19):
Yeah, I think ice cream is my favorite. Just the variety.
You can never get bored with it. There's so many
different like flavors and toppings and variety, Like it's.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Okay. What is your favorite way to receive affection? What
is your love language? For a reminder, the love languages
are you feel? Excuse me, I can't find my mouth
to look them up love languages. The five love love
languages are words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service. Oh well,

(01:02:54):
this is not helpful because it says and more thanks
you fucking Google AI bullshit, like why are you even
up there if you're gonna vote? And more okay here
yea and more. That is not my love language. My

(01:03:19):
love language is answers. It's words of affirmation, uh, quality, time,
physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts and was
that five? Yeah, words of information, quality and act service,
receiving gifts, physical touch, this is your last time physical touch. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:03:41):
I feel like I never know my love language. I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
I feel like the love languages are also problematic. Haven't
wait to that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
I don't know if there's so much problematic as if
it's is because I do honestly like, I truly feel
that it is a way for some a simple way
for someone to come unicate how they do want to
because some people aren't touchy feely people, but they still,
you know, want to hear you say I love you.

(01:04:09):
And I think it's a it's like one of those
like because it's so universally known now that it's one
of those ways that people can actually, like safely say
this is how I like to be spoken to or
how I'd like to be treated. And maybe they're problematic
because they're not they're very broad, but I think that
I think it does help. Like if you say, oh, no, no, please,

(01:04:32):
don't give me a hug. My love language is words
of affirmation, so tell me like, hey, you're cool. That's
how I've always interpreted it. Again, it's a very church thing,
but like that's how I've always kind of reconciled in
my head. Yeah, So, anyway, how would you like to
receive affection? I will say mine is acts of service,

(01:04:54):
performing helpful tasks or sharing responsibilities without being asked, doing chores,
preparing meals, et cetera, et cetera. I found somebody who
was very good at active service, so which, yeah, communicated
that too. So yeah, Jay likes wars of affirmation. So
I always make sure that you know, I go out

(01:05:15):
of my way to like verbally say, because I'm not
always a I talk a hell of a fucking lot,
but it's also very shallow and meaningless, as as you
guys know, because I added a lot of this out.
So I got try to go out of my way
to be like, you know, hey you look great today,
or hey, I really thank you so much for doing

(01:05:37):
the dishes last night or whatever. So yeah, I don't know, Okay,
one more question and then we are going to call
it a day.

Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
So many of these questions are just super on topic
that we can't even talk about because the answer would
be like fucking duh. Here's some examples. What makes you
feel unsafe? Uh, being alive today. Yeah, you're about twenty
five in this country. What what distracts you the most
every day? What three wishes would you grant for the world?

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
Yeah too, sad too sad?

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
Okay, okay, Uh, what movie or book ending really left
you hanging to the point of anger? I got one, Okay,
that fucking one. That was the movie with Ben Affleck
Gone Girl, Gone Girl made me so mad.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
I still haven't seen that.

Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
I can't remember how it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
Ends, Okay. I will say that the book the movie
is less infuriating the book. I actually did not watch
the movie for a long time because the book infuriated
me that much. And then Jay was watching it because
they were talking about it on the blank Check podcast,
and I reluctantly sat there and watched it. And will
the book the movie is like way better than book.

(01:07:00):
One of the very few chances.

Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
So essentially, and I believe the author of the book
wrote the movie too. No interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
I don't know Jillian Flann. I have decided I don't
like Jillian Flann is a talented writer. I don't like
any of her books. I've read them all now or
all of them through the big ones like and I
didn't like any of them. They were all like, I
don't know, I didn't They all made me feel itchy
and uncomfortable. But with Goeirl, you not for you? Fine, yeah,

(01:07:30):
not for me? With Forgot. With Gone Girl, though, the
whole premise is they have a very unhappy marriage. The
dude had had an affair at some point, maybe it
was still ongoing, but like he had tried to, like
he had tried to. I think he had tried to
break up with her, and she like wouldn't let him.
She comes from a very wealthy family. She her parents.

(01:07:50):
Her mom wrote a best selling children's book that was
about her, So her whole thing in her head was,
my life needs to be as perfect as the child
of this children's book grew up to have. And she
was in a marriage that like, they were both visibly unhappy.
One day she figures out that he's like cheating or whatever.
She decides to stage her own disappearance. But you don't

(01:08:15):
know she staged it, like she goes missing, Gone Girl.
She goes missing one day, and it's this whole giant
thing to try to find her, like white Lady missing,
Oh my god. Uh you know, baby Amy is like uh,
we gotta we gotta find her, and then you find
out that she staged her own disappearance because she then

(01:08:39):
led on somebody that was like an ex boyfriend, and
the ex boyfriend, like you know, willingly, was like, oh,
let's we're gonna have an affair too, You're gonna leave
me for him? Cool? But then she gets there, she
kills the ex boyfriend. She then beats her own self
up and makes it look like he kidnapped her, and

(01:09:00):
the whole thing is done because when she gets back,
she knows that the husband can't divorce her now, and
it's super fucked up. But the part that led that
made me the angriest, and I'm sorry spoiler alert for
a twenty year old book. The part that made me
the most pissed off was that they had been trying
to do IVF. She went and got herself pregnant doing

(01:09:24):
IVF without his consent, like and then like, I had
this whole conversation with him while she insisted on doing
it in the shower so he couldn't have any tapes
running where she was like, I fucking got you. Now
you can never leave me because I'm having your baby.
And that's how the book ends, and I get so pissed,

(01:09:47):
like even just like talking about it, I fucking hate
it so much. That's my answer.

Speaker 4 (01:09:53):
Maybe that's why it's like it doesn't like hold any
space in my head, Like I know I read it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
The movie is like it's way better than the book.
It's less infuriating. Yeah, anybody else have anything like what
made you mad?

Speaker 4 (01:10:10):
I don't know. I feel like it takes me so
long to read a book that like, if I'm not
enjoying a book, I don't feel the need to finish it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Okay, then yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10:19):
It's like my reading time is precious. I gotta like
I pick my books very carefully to make sure that
it's something I'm going to enjoy.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
Fair Enough, I just read it because everybody else was
reading it.

Speaker 4 (01:10:29):
Yeah no, that was yeah me of a bygone era.
Now I'm like, yeah, this time is precious. I'm gonna,
like I need to know I'm going to enjoy this book.
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
Care care what's well That book is why I have
never read a Colleen Hoover book, because I also feel
like they would infuriate me. And even though everybody else
you got to read them, you got to read them.
I'm at that point where I'm like, no, I read
Gone Girl and I hated the way.

Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
I'm like, you know what, just because it's trendy doesn't
mean I have to read it. Yes, I don't think
for me, I think it's gonna bother me.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
Everybody has told me that I need to read Fourth Wing,
and I still may like it, but then like, I
look at this length and I'm like, oh, it's so long.

Speaker 4 (01:11:13):
Why is it so long?

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
And then my sisters were talking about how they didn't
really like the second book, and I know everybody loves
the third book, but like at the time, it was
only the first two books, and I was like, oh,
I don't want to commit to like eight hundred pages
of a book to then not like the second book.
But I also because I did that with Hunger Games too, right,
Like I loved the first Hunger Games, but I hated

(01:11:35):
the third one. But now there's a new one and
it's supposedly it's pretty good, so I might go back
and reread the first one and then read the new one.

Speaker 4 (01:11:42):
So wait, is the new one also a book? I
feel like I've only been hearing them promoting the audiobook.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
It's a book too. So Suzanne Collins has now written
five books in that universe. The first three was the
trilogy that we all read. The fourth one came out
in twenty twenty and it was about you know, the
guy that was Donald Sutherland's character in the movie. It
was when he won the Games. And the new book
is when Mitch Abernathy won the Games and Mitch Abernathy,

(01:12:09):
uh what was that? Like Woody Harrelson in the movies.
But he's the one that was like the drunk mentor
of TNS. So this is when he won. And from
what I has gotten decent reviews, it wasn't. Oh, oh no,
it wasn't. You're right, it was Philip Seymour Hoffman, Right,

(01:12:32):
he was.

Speaker 4 (01:12:36):
I think hash is the Hey.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
Midge Abernathy is a character. No, it was Woody Harrelson.
It was Harrison. Okay, who did who did Philip Seymour
Hoffman play?

Speaker 4 (01:12:50):
I can't remember. I forgot he was even in the
movies until you just said that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
Maybe he wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:12:55):
No he was, he was right, Yeah, he was the
first one.

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
Oh he was Pluchart Heavensby who I don't really Oh right,
he was in the first two because he was like
part of like the game design. That's right, that's right,
that's right. Okay, Okay, yes, that's right. Yeah, I'm actually
trying to. I want Zak to reread, to read for

(01:13:24):
the first time. I picked up a bunch of from
the free little libraries. They actually had one of the
Ramona books, and they had how to Eat Fried Worms,
and I really want to read how to. I want
to read how to Eat Ride Worms to the boys.
But then I really want to get Zack into hunger
games because he's so into war books. I feel like
I can sell it. And at some point we're going

(01:13:45):
to read all the token books he's he doesn't know
it yet and it's going to be super annoying for
me because I have no patience, but we're gonna do
it anyway. Okay, I have talked too much on that note, everybody,
